CADETS

Tisdale Air Cadets resume in-person training

Jessica R. Durling REPORTER

TISDALE — The #624 Tisdale Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron has resumed in-person training, with strict COVID-19 precautions.

Mike Benjamin, the squadron’s commanding ofďŹ cer, said the squadron has been given speciďŹ c orders on how to resume their training. “It’s a gradual approach, it’s not ‘everybody comes back right away,’â€?

Benjamin said. “We’re going to slowly start up our operations, our in-person training. It’s very important that we don’t become a conduit to spread the COVID-19 virus.�

These guidelines include mandatory masks for staff and cadets, physical distancing, a mandatory screening process, and strict cleaning protocols before, during and after training.

Anybody who is showing symptoms of the virus or has been in contact with someone who has tested positive is asked to stay away from the training area until such time as they feel better or have been medically cleared.

� “We also have the option to resort to online virtual training, and we have a contingency plan in place should a restriction come back.�

Benjamin said the squadron has continued to grow, with another increase in ďŹ rst and second year cadets resulting in approximately 40 cadets and

six staff. “We are now on pace to become one of the largest air cadet squadrons outside of a major centre in Saskatchewan, so that’s an excellent bonus for us in Tisdale,� he said. “Our numbers are the highest they’ve been for a very long time.�

To prevent the spread

of COVID-19 and comply with provincial crowd guidelines, the cadets are broken up into two separate squadrons that don’t physically interact with one another.

Benjamin credits the continued growth to the shift of cadet led activities, as well as cadets telling their friends and peers

about their enjoyment in the program. “They’re telling their friends and their friends are very interested in becoming members of the squadron.�

In particular, Benjamin said the number of girl cadets has continued to grow.

He called this an “excellent thing to see.�

“The program is meant for both boys and girls, and it’s an excellent opportunity for girls to develop their leadership skills, their conďŹ dence, self-esteem, [and] pride,â€? he said. “It’s great to see our girl numbers are increasing, that’s something I’m very happy with.â€? reporter@tisdalerecorder.ca

The principles of the Saskatchewan Green Party are aligned with the principles of the Global Greens, which is an international network of political parties.

The Green Party acknowledges that human society is dependent on ecological resources, and supports the integrity of ecosystems and preservation of biodiversity.

Their statement of principles includes participatory democracy, nonviolence, respect for diversity, and social justice.

“We promote the building of respectful, positive and responsible relationships across lines of division in the spirit of a multicultural society. Community Based Economics, Cooperation and Mutual Aid, Decentralization,” their website reads.

Todd Goudy, Sask. Party Todd Goudy was first elected as the MLA for Melfort in a byelection in March of 2018.

For eight years, Goudy served on the board of education as a trustee of the North East School Division (NESD). He has also served as the chaplain for the RCMP, and on the Heath Advocacy Committee.

Raised in Melfort, Goudy moved to Alberta after graduating from Melfort and Unit Comprehensive Collegiate (MUCC).

Goudy returned to Melfort with his wife and children in 2007, and even-

tually became pastor in the Baptist Church.

The guiding principles of the Saskatchewan Party include economic growth and job creation through the private sector, not government, as the engine of the economy; smaller, less intrusive, more efficient government; steady, gradual reduction in government spending and taxation while maintaining a firm commitment to balanced budgets; a highquality health care system for all Saskatchewan people, regardless of where they live within the province; a strong social safety net which protects those who truly need support while encouraging individuals to become self-sufficient; democratic reform to make government more responsive to the people it serves; individual freedom and the equality of opportunity for all citizens; and the constant improvement of Saskatchewan’s economic and social conditions within a strong and united Canada.

Lorne Schroeder, New Democratic Party Lorne Schroeder is an organic beef farmer near LeRoy. In the past he has served a term as the reeve for the RM of Leroy, as the LeRoy School Board chair, on the LeRoy Credit Union board, LeRoy ball club, curling club and Kinsmen Club.

In addition, he serves on the board of the Farmer Direct Co-op.

The New Democratic Party (NDP) values include valuing fairness and extending opportunity and prosperity broadly, reducing inequality, and believe in encouraging aspiration and giving everyone a chance to get ahead and achieve their full potential.

SAVE UP TO

“We value democracy and believe that everyone should have the ability to shape their own life and the life of their community, that those who are most affected by a decision should have the greatest input into the discussion, and that government needs to be more transparent, accountable, inclusive and responsive to the needs of Saskatchewan families, businesses and communities,” their website values read.

Dave Waldner, Buffalo Party Dave Waldner manages a family farm with his son, as well as operates an independent construction company.

As a student, Waldner spent time working for the Pioneer Grain Construction crew building elevators in southern Saskatchewan during his summers.

After finishing school, Waldner worked during the winter in the oil fields of Alberta and various construction jobs in the summer before meeting his now wife and purchasing a family farm.

Walder currently enjoys participating in Emmanuel Baptist church service clubs.

The Saskatchewan Buffalo Party states that Waldner believes more industries for farmers are needed in Saskatchewan to jump start the economy and create more jobs.

The Buffalo Party is a newer political party in the province, which advocates that the Saskatchewan people have the right to vote for independence from the rest of Canada.

They state that they believe that a smaller government will reduce red tape, reduce the suppression of a free market and be less of a tax burden to the people. reporter@tisdalerecorder.ca

TISDALE RCMP

Four attempted vehicle thefts in Tisdale Jessica R. Durling

REPORTER

TISDALE — Over a two week period, the Tisdale RCMP responded to four separate attempted vehicle thefts in town.

“We’re seeing a little bit of an increase in attempted vehicle thefts,” said Cpl. Mike Benjamin with the Tisdale RCMP. “We just want to remind everybody to make sure their property is secure, keys are not in the ignition, and just keep

an eye out for suspicious activity.”

Three of these vehicles have been recovered, including one where the suspects attempted to push a vehicle away from the owner’s residence.

“In one incident, suspects repeatedly tried to steal a trailer with the quad on it,” Benjamin said, adding they were unsuccessful.

At the present time, Benjamin said the detachment is investigating

each incident as separate crimes of opportunity.

The vehicle that hasn’t been recovered involved the keys being left in the ignition prior to the theft.

“The biggest problems we have is people leaving the keys in the ignition; leaving valuables such as wallets, presents, high value items, iPads, cellphones in the vehicles; [and] leaving vehicles running,” Benjamin said.

“We’re coming into the winter season, we see it

1-866-4WINMAR (494-6627) www.winmar.ca

a lot where people leave vehicles running with the keys in the ignition and then they go into stores.

Those are perfect opportunities for people to grab onto property.”

From Sept. 30 to Oct. 14 the Tisdale RCMP responded to 77 calls for service, including the four attempted car thefts, five calls under the Mental Health Act, one impaired driver, and two collisions. reporter@tisdalerecorder.ca

HUMBOLDT — “Heart of it all.”

Those are the words the City of Humboldt will use to present itself to the world.

“We have had a number of different brands over the years, but there was one thing that was in common, it seems, and that’s the word ‘heart,’” said Rob Muench, Humboldt’s mayor, during the brand’s unveiling on Oct. 19.

Humboldt has branded itself as the “heart of the sure crop district” and “a little part of Germany in the heart of the prairies” in the past.

The mayor said the new brand was the result of work from the community.

“This was not a slogan that was brought together by a marketing company from outside of the community,” he said.

At the beginning of the process, the city’s marketing committee, which included representatives from the city’s business community, had received 352 submissions at a booth at the Summer Sizzler.

The city has been working on a new brand for years, with this being the result of a second attempt. The first attempt ended up fizzling out.

“It started off as an item on the to-do

This was not a slogan that was brought together by a marketing company from outside of the community.

ROB MUENCH Mayor of Humboldt list, something that we needed to do to refresh our brand,” said Lorne Pratchler, the vice-chair of the marketing committee. “Something that would better represent us and it would leave us with something to market, for people to remember us by.”

Then the community – and the world – was rocked by the Humboldt Broncos bus collision on April 6, 2018.

“It shook us. It forced us to pause and think about who we were as individuals, who we were as a community,” Pratchler said. “That project now took on new meaning, it had become a way that we could lift ourselves from the state we’re in.”

Muench said the brand was done on a shoestring budget, with most of the work, including the new graphics, designed in-house. dtasa@humboldtjournal.ca

ConďŹ rmed As of October 19

Consequences to hardball protest tactics Protest is an important aspect of our democracy.

Sometimes, protest uses tactics that are designed to tick people off in order to get some action.

I believe those tactics should be on the table if you’re a protestor, but at the same time, you should have to deal with any consequences that come from those tactics.

Over the weekend, we had a no-mask protest here in Humboldt at a park beside city hall, with the activists expressing concern about the government’s anti-COVID-19 health measures.

There might be a case for fewer restrictions, considering there’s only two active cases in the area around Humboldt as of Oct. 22. I don’t support fewer restrictions, as we know this virus is able to spread pretty fast if we’re not careful.

After the protest in the park, some of the protestors then went to No Frills, which is part

they’re just doing their job, enforcing a national mandate from headquarters. That can’t be any fun, especially during these stressful times.

Editor’s View

Devan C. Tasa of a chain that has a national mask policy – one that the local stores have to follow.

There was an incident where the group – with a few identifying themselves as from being from Saskatoon – went into the store without masks and the store’s management kept asking them to leave. The police then got involved.

Again, the protestors have the right to use this tactics, but they have to deal with the consequences.

In this case, it certainly got everyone’s attention.

Yet, I’d suspect that sympathy will go towards the employees at No Frills. After all,

We have moved our ofďŹ ce.

Instead of the one on Main Street, we have moved to a new place on Highway 20. It’s in that red building behind Wireless Age, kitty corner to the Uniplex.

One of the things that we’ve discovered during the pandemic is that our old ofďŹ ce was way too big for what we needed, especially since many of the staff can work from home just as well as they can from an ofďŹ ce.

So instead of spending money on maintaining a building that had too much space for what we need, we can use that to improve our core services: our two newspapers and our website.

Pandemic could herald more protectionism When the world shudders from a major event, and the COVID-19 pandemic is certainly a major event, countries tend to look inward as fear sets in.

That is at least on the surface and seems a logical response. Certainly here in Canada we look at the border restrictions which limit travel to and from the neighbouring United States as a good thing given the seeming lack of control, or even a hint of a plan to deal with the pandemic, from state-to-state, all the way up to the president’s ofďŹ ce south of the 49th parallel.

Yet trade needs to be maintained.

Economies today are almost all integrated across borders, meaning raw materials are often gathered from one country, processed in another, with the product sold in various other countries. Close a border for any reason and the system shudders.

Here in Canada agriculture producers are fully aware of that after the beef industry was generally brought to its proverbial knees when Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), was ďŹ rst found in an Alberta cow in 2003, with export markets closed in reaction.

Views on Agriculture Calvin Daniels The situation is of course different with COVID-19. The fear is that movement of people, and even products, can increase the likelihood of disease transmission.

Certainly in this household, a book package sent from Britain will go into a period of isolation, then disinfecting, before being opened. Is that being overly cautious? Perhaps, but it is a non-onerous effort that comes down to being better overly cautious, than on a ventilator.

So, if we in this household are being cautious, it’s easy to understand why governments are looking at domestic production being easier to ensure safety than those from half a world away moving through various hands before arriving.

So to read on producer.com that according to the World Trade Organization, between

October 2019 and May 2020, G20 economies implemented 154 new trade or related measures, ďŹ nding 95 to be trade-facilitating and 59 as trade-restrictive, is hardly surprising.

But, for Canada, a producer of much that cannot possibly be consumed domestically, trade is essential, and the freer of barriers that trade is the better.

The increase in protectionist policies around trade creates those barriers, and that COVID-19 has increased such rules and regulations is not good news for producers here.

The situation is made more concerning here since the general mood of the U.S. under President Donald Trump is to be more protectionist, even before the COVID pandemic struck.

And, in Europe the decision by the United Kingdom to pull out of the European Union, itself largely a protectionist effort, muddies the waters across the EU in terms of trade and more importantly in terms of trade access.

The impact of COVID has of course been felt in practically every facet of our lives this year, but the impact of free trade may be a facet where the effects are felt the longest.

CARROT RIVER VALLEY

Leson running for Progressive Conservatives in Carrot River Valley Jessica R. Durling REPORTER

EAST CENTRAL — Glen Leson said that if he is elected as MLA for Carrot River Valley constituency, his focuses would be on healthcare, education and the promotion of business.

Leson is a self-described senior, father, grandfather and businessperson. He previously operated an ambulance until 1985. From 1974 to 2010 he operated a funeral home. “I’m quite concerned with the way our world is headed now, and I’m hoping people will look to Conservative values to be a good source of getting us back on track,� Leson said. “We’re all put on this world to work and it’s my belief if we’re capable of working, we should be working.�

Leson said the issue he would like addressed in healthcare is the waiting lists. “The waiting lists are really backdated. I know people who are waiting a couple years for surgeries and their conditions a lot of times deteriorate. They end up having to use painkillers and a lot of things exacerbate the health problems as well.�

To cut the wait times, Leson said he would like to expand surgical equipment and operating rooms to cities and larger towns across the province. “I can’t speak on this as party policy, I can only speak on it as my own views. Certainly there could be additional surgical and recovery centres that are already in the system, expanded to places that are larger like the Yorktons, Nipawins, Humboldts – any of the larger centres that already have the ability.�

To gain the funding to do this, Leson said he would boost the economy by promoting travel from larger urban centres outside of the province that are more impacted by COVID-19. “With this pandemic, I think there is a huge opportunity for

Glen Leson said as MLA he would stimulate the economy by attracting people from larger urban centres who are struggling from the pandemic throughout North America.

Saskatchewan to broadcast into the world and into North America for people who may want to get out of the areas that are very valiant in cases of viral pandemic – things that are highly communicable,� Leson said. “I know a lot of our people with travel restrictions now are doing more planning for cottages and summer things and different activities right within our province and area, but I think we can attract people from the largest urban areas in Canada and possibly North America to enjoy our rural way of life.�

Leson said to accomplish this he feels Saskatchewan needs to do a better job of promoting the province and the way of life. “We are a very, very distinct society in Saskatchewan,� Leson said. “We have to increase our tax-base and certainly get more people working in this province.�

For education, Leson said he would like more basics like handwriting and children learning which side of the road to walk or ride a bike on. “I understand that handwriting has been taken out of schools, different things. Certainly we have to adapt to the current world, but at the same time we can’t leave everything in the past,� he said. “The basics have to be there, the reading, writing, arithmetics, and get by without calculators and computers.� reporter@tisdalerecorder.ca

Fred Bradshaw running for Sask. Party in CRV Jessica R. Durling REPORTER

EAST CENTRAL — Incumbent MLA Fred Bradshaw said that if he is re-elected for Carrot River Valley constituency, he would follow Saskatchewan Party’s 10 year plan to move the province forward, with a speciďŹ c focus on businesses and the budget. “We want to get our budget back on balance within the next few years, and this is good for all of Saskatchewan, including Carrot River Valley,â€?

Bradshaw said. “We are not going to borrow ourselves into oblivion, we’re going to move the province forward, but do it being ďŹ scally responsible.â€?

Bradshaw was ďŹ rst elected in 2007, before being reelected in 2011 and 2016.

He has previously served on Carrot River council, Carrot River Fire and Rescue, the Pasquia Park board, the ArborďŹ eld Dehy board, and on the founding board of the Northeast Early Childhood Intervention Program (NECIP).

Incumbent MLA Fred

elected to represent the constituency in 2007.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

“I believe the fact that I’ve been here all of my life, I can bring things to Carrot River Valley that the other candidates cannot do,� Bradshaw said. “Since I drive the roads all the time I know which roads need to be worked on because I live here. A very good example [is] I knew the school here in Carrot River was in bad shape and needed to be replaced, and now we have a plan for replacing that school.�

Bradshaw said he has no plans to advocate for a province funded transit system connecting rural communities to cities. “I think that should be

up to the private sector,� he said. “I’m hoping some companies will pick up those routes to be able to transport people, but I’ll tell you what, the ridership was so low that there had been various different companies who have tried it, and it hasn’t worked out thus far.�

For the education sector, Bradshaw said that he believes his party has done a good job since forming government in 2007. “We’ve hired 1,200 more teachers, we’ve built quite a few new schools, compared to shutting down schools.�

If reelected, Bradshaw said the Sask. Party will increase funding for education. To get the funds, he said his intention is to increase the Saskatchewan population so there are more taxpayers.

In the Sask Party’s 10 year plan, by 2030 they plan for 1.4 million people in Saskatchewan.

According to Statistics Canada, as of 2019 there are 1.174 million people in the province. “We have a growing province. The people who are working and

the businesses who are working pay taxes, and what we want to do is have people paying the taxes. The more people we have, the more tax base we have.�

In order to get more people moving to the province, Bradshaw said his plan is to create a “business friendly environment.� “You have to be business friendly. Government cannot sit there and micromanage business, that is up to the business people to be able to do, and we want to have a friendly situation for the businesses so the businesses can move forward.�

Bradshaw said by being business friendly, he believes this will result in more jobs becoming available. “We have set up a red tape committee to try to make things easier for businesses, to get rid of the red tape the government has. We have done a very good job with that, and truthfully, I sat on that committee and hope I’m still sitting on that committee after this election is over.� reporter@tisdalerecorder.ca

Tisdale Votes

Tisdale race to see eight councillors in the running Jellicoe to keep mayor’s seat Becky Zimmer LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER, BATTLEFORDS NEWSOPTIMIST

TISDALE — Mayor Al Jellicoe is uncontested in his re-election as mayor of Tisdale. With few councillors seeking reelection, Jellicoe said he would like to see some continuity around the council table.

Recent projects that have taken place in Tisdale has been the composting project, which was a recent highlight for Jellicoe and a project that he would like to see completed, he said. Streets and water systems are two community issues that need to be addressed on a yearly basis, he said, so it is great to see people wanting to take on those problems at a municipal level.

Tisdale has had a good 10-15 years of focus on these issues, he said, and there are now more good streets than bad streets in Tisdale.

With eight people running for council, Jellicoe is happy to see diversity in the candidates, including more young people and women running for a seat at the table. Jellicoe said they have not had a woman at the council table for the last eight years.

What he would like to see is councillors with business sense because the town does run like a business.

While COVID-19 has been a challenge, Jellicoe said Tisdale is still doing well.

He is looking forward to the day when the province and town get back to some normalcy.

MARILYN BAKER

Marilyn Baker has been an active member of the Tisdale community for many years and after being on numerous boards and executives, Baker wants to do more, she said.

“I’ve been involved in the community and [I] just want to be a bit more involved in the process and how things work, and help make them work.”

Tisdale is a great plan to raise a family, she said, and she wants to see Tisdale continue to grow. However, local businesses and the

local economy needs help make Tisdale a vibrant and attractive Saskatchewan town.

“We need to bring in new businesses, we need to enable businesses and help current businesses with any expansions they need.

And we need to help bring in the labour force. And so I just want to be in the front lines for that... I see myself as someone who takes value in social initiatives and in building a community.”

Even with COVID-19 creating challenges for businesses, Baker said Tisdale has been on the right track for response and business support.

Very few businesses have had to close their doors, she said, which is a good sign for Tisdale’s economic strength.

Baker has lived in Tisdale for the past 25 years and has worked at Finning Canada for the past 20

years.

ADAM LEWIS

Adam Lewis has always been a community guy, he said, and he wants to continue doing so as a member of the Tisdale town council.

Lewis wants to give back to the community by being part of council, he said.

Lewis has been a member of the Tisdale Fire Department since 2016, and is involved with the Tisdale Alliance Church youth group, the Tisdale Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron #624, and is a Level 2 volleyball referee

and involved in his children’s sports activities.

Lewis has seen growth in the community and he wants to help find ways of attracting people and businesses to the town to see this growth continue.

“I was taught many years ago that for every one person that leaves your community, you have to replace them with two, one to replace and one to grow.

If we’re not actively looking for businesses to come to town, or try to encourage them to come to town, we’re not going to grow, we’re just going to stay the same size that we have been.”

Bringing businesses into a small town does not have to be a competition, he said. With Buy Low foods coming to town, they have been a compliment to the Co-op Food Store, he said.

KURT JOHNSON

For Kurt Johnson, putting his name on the ballot for Tisdale town council just made sense.

Seeing four former councillors not run for council re-election, Johnson knew that he wanted to step up himself.

“People need to step up and take their [former councillors’] place. I was approached by some people in town that thought I might be good at it and they know my position in the town.”

Tisdale has been a positive place to raise his kids, he said, and he wants to see it continue to move in a positive direction, especially with COVID-19 causing problems for local businesses across Canada and the world.

“Every business in the world has been affected but I’m more concerned about the businesses in Tisdale and in the northeast.”

There are some projects that are currently on the go that Johnson would like to see come to fruition, including the dog park and seeing how to help make that happen.

Johnson has two dogs, he said, and the park would be a great addition to the town.

Johnson has been a business owner in Tisdale for the past 14 years and is active in the community, including with the Wildlife Federation, Community Justice committee, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Rockin’ the Square

AMANDA REYNOLDS

Amanda Reynolds has thrown her hat into the council ring once again for the 2020 municipal election. She first ran in 2016 and was unsuccessful in her candidacy only by a couple of votes, she said, so she is taking another stab at it.

Reynolds enjoys being part of the community and with her job, she is able to meet and talk with people about local issues.

“I’m very fortunate for that,” she said, “and had a lot of different opinions and concerns brought to my attention. I want to do my best to represent the general population, our whole community.”

Reynolds grew up in Tisdale before leaving for post-secondary education and returned to raise her family. Family has taken precedence over her many years here but Reynolds still found time to be a part of numerous community organizations, including her children’s sports teams, the Chamber of Commerce, and Rockin’ the Square committee. While it was a lot of work, it has also been a lot of fun and a great learning experience, she said. Reynolds said she likes being behind the scenes.

Mike Hill saw a lot of projects get started in his first term as a Tisdale town council member.

Now he wants to see the projects continue, he said, as he is running for a second term at the council table.

When he first ran in 2016, Hill said he has always been proud of Tisdale and wanted to be a part of the inner workings of the town.

Work on infrastructure, the water treatment plant, and landfill has made for an enjoyable and fulfilling first term, he said, but there is always more to do with attracting more local business and improving long standing Tisdale businesses.

“I’m pretty proud of what we’ve accomplished in the last four years.

We’ve seen the new business added to the landscape, and some fantastic upgrades to this community, whether it be new buildings or storefront enhancements.”

While campaigning is going to be tough and he doesn’t want to make anyone feel uncomfortable, Hill said he does want to talk with people about their concerns for the upcoming term. Social media is also going to be part of that, he said, but he will be broaching the subject with people he meets in person.

HOWARD SAELHOF

Over the 45 years that Howard Saelhof has lived in Tisdale, he has served on many boards and committees throughout his time there.

Putting his name on the ballot for the Tisdale town council is just another way he can give back to the community, he said.

Throughout his time in Tisdale, Saelhof has been a member of the fire department, a chair on the local school board, a member of the Tisdale Lions and various other boards.

Being a potential new council member, Saelhof said he has thought about the different issues that he would like to bring to the council. However, he said he is aware that he would like to know and understand how council works before he can decide his agenda. While it will be a learning experience for learning how council works and how Saelhof can make a difference, Saelhof is excited to learn the ins and outs and is expecting to get a lot of personal satisfaction from helping the community in this way, he said.

Saelhof is expecting to speak with a lot of people around the community about the upcoming election, many people so far who have been encourag-

Brendan Samida is one of two councillors seeking re-election for the Tisdale town council. After returning to Tisdale six years ago, the town council has been the best way he can engage with the community since council members are involved on many boards across the community, including the economic development and the museum boards in Samida’s case, he said.

Being a part of the town council goes hand in hand with being a good community member and a Tisdalebased business owner, he said.

“My focus will remain the same as it did right off the hop, and that’s looking if the town can support new business, commercial growth, and any industrial [business]. If we can hit industrial type jobs for our community, that’s the base of what we need to do.”

With investments into the wastewater system and the landfill, Samida saidTisdale is ready for a population boost of about 500 people. All of the infrastructure and facilities, like the RECplex, Caleb Village, and the Healthplex are ready for that boost, he said, and any increase to the local industry would help make that happen.

With a bigger population comes a bigger tax base and that means a more manageable tax base, he said.

As a business owner and long time volunteer, Evan Sisson believes that he has a lot to offer the Tisdale town council.

With a background in water, sewer and safety, Sisson said he has a lot to bring to the table.

“I would like to help out the town crew with their safety departments and stuff like that, as well as I would really like to see what plans that the town has for helping our businesses get through this covid pandemic.”

Through Sisson’s work with the volunteer fire department for 20 years, the hockey board for the AAA midget team for the past four years, and his business, Sisson feels he is well known in the community and will not be going doorto-door or similar campaign tactics.

“That’s not me, to be honest with you. I’m not a campaigner. Most people know me in Tisdale because I’ve lived here and run my business here.”

Sisson is excited at the prospects of running for council and having a seat at the table.

Making good executive decisions for taxpayers and business owners of Tisdale is an important goal for Sisson as he waits for Nov. 9.

Glen Leson is our conservative candidate representative for the Carrot

River Valley constituency in the Oct 26th provincial election. Leson’s roots in the Carrot River area is through his father and grandfather that had lived near Hudson Bay and still has family residing in the constituency.

Glen operated an ambulance service from 1974 to 1985. Additionally, he operated a funeral home in Canora, which extended his service to the Hudson Bay area, until 2010. He had served as a mayor, councillor, and worked with numerous volunteer committees at the local and provincial level. He and his wife Nancy have three daughters, three grandchildren, and fourth grandbaby on the way.

“As a parent and grandparent, I’m concerned with the direction we are heading. Saskatchewan is much too far left of centre. Saskatchewan residents do not want N.D.P. socialism, and the Sask Party has drifted to the left with the liberal components of their party in control. They are big government, in your face regulations, wasteful spending, putting us deep into debt, failed projects and increased taxation.” said Leson.

Glen also mentioned how the Sask Party say they now have a plan to grow our economy and province. “Where have they been for the past 13 years? They have clearly blown the resource boom. Meanwhile the NDP are ineffective as an opposition and are allowing the Sask Party to govern unchallenged and unchecked.”

With the probability of the Sask Party remaining in government we believe that with a few credible conservatives elected, the Sask Party can be held accountable for their actions and the state of this province. The PC Party will present a new direction for Saskatchewan to grow with true conservative values. “I firmly believe that as our party continues to grow conservative policies will be the best hope for the future of our province. Forming government may not be a reality for this election, but a true conservative opposition will provide a voice for the people of Saskatchewan.”

Many Saskatchewan residents have a desire for our province to follow true conservative values. We are glad to tell you that there is an option to get our province back on track. If you are a conservative thinking person, there is a political home for you. Our full conservative platform and plan is available at www.pcsask.ca.

Support and elect Glen Leson, a true conservative in the Carrot River Valley constituency.

RENNIE HARPER

There is a lot the Town of Nipawin has to offer its citizens and the province and that is why Rennie Harper is running for another term as Mayor of Nipawin, she said.

The town’s history, innovation, and its abilities to problem solve means it has the potential to become a leading community in Saskatchewan, and Harper wants to continue to lead it there, she said. Collaboration is a bit part of that, she said, as groups within the town and throughout the province working together will solve a lot of problems.

“My approach for everything is centred on my real belief that partnerships among groups with people of different perspectives offer us the best solution to a lot of the challenges that we face, not only in this community but throughout the province.”

There is much more that needs to be done, Harper said, including the continued work on the Nipawin Hospital Heliport fundraising, decommissioning of the landfill and the continued work with the Boreal Area Regional Waste Authority, and improvements to public safety in the town are important things that Harper did not want to leave on the table.

Harper has been mayor of Nipawin since her election in 2016 with seven brand new members of the council at the table, including herself. It was a challenge, she said, but one they overcame as a cohesive group.

While council ran smoothly before the pandemic, now that COVID-19 is a major part of the decision-making process, the focus of the next council is on supporting and protecting the community in the needs to manage the pandemic, she said.

BRIAN STARKELL

Brian Starkell, Nipawin’s former fire chief, has entered the Nipawin mayoral race.

Starkell started firefighting in 1976 for the Village of Codette, before transferring to the Nipawin Fire Department.

In 2010, he was selected to be Nipawin’s fire chief where he stayed until November, 2019.

In August 2019, he was named an ambassador of the Canadian Volunteer Fire Services Association, and was recently inducted into the Saskatchewan Lions Hall of Fame after serving 35 years as a Lions Club member.

“Now that I’m retired I have time to run for mayor, and I have time for the position,” Starkell said.

“So with eight years’ experience on the village council in Codette before I moved to Nipawin, my experience with that and my experience with the Town of Nipawin should make me be a decent mayor.”

Starkell said some items he intends to continue lobbying the provincial and federal governments for funding, expand economic development, expand the tourism sector, revitalization of the downtown sector, continue with the current strategy plan, and support administration staff to improve services for residents.

“I encourage everybody to vote, and I’m looking for their support so I can represent the people of Nipawin, and work for them in our great community.”

Nipawin forward, he said, which is why he is running for mayor during this 2020 election.

Talking with Nipawin residents, Nipawin isn’t moving forward fast enough, he said, and he wants to be a part of that plan to see Nipawin grow.

Zacharias’s plans revolve around the business community with plans to help commercial, industrial, and retail businesses expand, and creating a vibrant residential atmosphere to draw in more families and give them a reason to stay in Nipawin, he said.

Developing the tourism industry and giving it a larger role in economic development is also on Zacharias’s list of plans for the new council term if he is elected, he said.

“I really want to step it up to the next level, which again, is going to promote downtown business, it’s going to promote people living in our area. All of these things are all going to work together to really help plan for growth in our community.”

Zacharias was born in Meadow Lake with his mother’s family connecting him to Nipawin where he came to live and bought his business. This small, Saskatchewan community upbringing has prepared him for a role on the council, he said.

“A small community is where I wanted to raise my family, that’s what brought me to Nipawin. I came for business and I just thought that was the place I want it to be.”

at the municipal level, she said. “I really like being a part of supporting the town and moving forward in making decisions that will support people in Nipawin.�

While the town has celebrated some big successes over the past term, including the opening of the new water treatment plant, which took over a decade to plan, Boughen said there are also little successes to celebrate, including the completion of the trafďŹ c and active transportation studies. The completion of both these studies will have important future impacts on Nipawin, she said.

Boughen was ďŹ rst elected in a 2017 byelection.

Boughen’s own interagency work always saw a member of the council at the table which helped her build connections and partnerships that helped her later time on the council.

SHELDON CHORNAWKA

Since serving on council is the best chance to give back to your community, Sheldon Chornawka said, he will be seeking reelection for a seat on the Nipawin town council during the upcoming municipal election. “I wanted to be part of the decision making process for Nipawin now and into the future.�

Going into his second term of council, Chornawka wants the town to concentrate on green initiatives for their town facilities and

see what grants are available for making it happen.

He wants to see that for all publicly owned buildings, he said, including the arena, the Evergreen Centre, and the public works buildings.

Being on council, there is always something new to learn, he said, so he is excited to see what the next term has in store. It’s a learning curve, he said.

Chornawka’s campaign will be nothing out of the ordinary, he said, with signs up around the town.

JOHN DEMPSTER

John Dempster has lived in the Town of Nipawin off and on for the last 30 years but came from a small town, he said in his bio. “My two youngest children were born here, this is also my wife’s hometown. I have always loved this area and always wanted to retire here.�

Dempster has been asked multiple times over the years to run for council but could not devote enough time, he said. Now that he is retired, he is excited at the prospect of being able to have his name on the ballot. “I have always believed that if you think there is a problem, you should be a part of the resolve not the problem.�

Dempster has worked for Nipawin Chrysler during his time in Nipawin and has spent 40 years in the car industry from salesman to general manager, he said in his bio. “The two times I came back it was because Lyle Stankowski thought enough of my abilities in

business to ask me to come back.�

This line of work makes him a potential asset for the Town of Nipawin, he said.

Dempster also feels his psychology education helps him understand where people are coming from and gives him “a profound ability to listen,� he said.

continuity from one to the next, although he knows his time is a drop in the bucket compared to the grand scheme of community planning. Considering they started with a brand new council at the beginning of this past term, Stewart said it was noticeable and he wants to avoid that this year.

GEOFF STEWART

BRUCE PIHOWICH

Geoff Stewart will be seeking at least one more term as town councillor in the Town of Nipawin, he said, making this a potential second term for Stewart.

With projects still on the table that he still wants to be a part of, these are things that he wants to see to completion, he said, especially from a ďŹ scal responsibility side.

The ďŹ rst few years are all about learning what the council’s responsibilities are, he said, and it is a lot less than people expect it to be. While the council sets the policy and decides where the money goes, they are not the ones doing the work, he said. “We want to continue to provide better recreation services at the Evergreen center, and it’s nice for the council to be able to take credit for that being improved over the last four years. But in the end, we made the decision, we set the direction, and somebody else is doing the work.â€?

With some big infrastructure projects taking years to come to fruition, Stewart is happy for the chance to provide council

GENE RUSK

Gene Rusk will once again have his name on the Nipawin municipal election ballot.

Rusk, who’s retired, was ďŹ rst elected to council in a byelection in April 2019 and said with all the young people on council, he wants to continue to represent the

old guys in the community.

In the last byelection, he said he was concerned about businesses and ran because civic politics was something he hadn’t tried before. “We’ve got a lot of empty buildings on our main streets,� Rusk said during the last byelection. “I’d like to see a lot more people come to town, along with some new businesses.�

With potentially being at the table for the next term, Rusk said he wants to carry on with the ongoing business that council will continue to face in the new term.

Rusk was born and raised in Nipawin.

SHEILA SEIFERLING

Nipawin has been the home of Sheila Seiferling for the last 30 years, including her daughters who have moved back to Nipawin to raise their own families.

Running for Nipawin town council is one of the ways that Seiferling wants to give back to the community has loved for three decades.

Seiferling has spent her working life as an acute care and home care nurse throughout the Nipawin area which has connected her with all ages of people right from birth to providing end of life care, she said.

Her job also gave her opportunity to connect her with representatives at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels. This grew her interest in being at the council table and understanding how to support her community, she said.

If elected to town coun-

cil, Seiferling wants to help Nipawin continue to be a great place to live since she will continue living here for the foreseeable future, as well as her family. That will take address issues that haven’t been addressed yet, she said. “We have a huge housing issue where we have a number of people living in one house because they aren’t able to ďŹ nd other housing options. So that is something that I would like to focus on in my time on Council. As a small business owner myself, I am very interested in economic growth and development.â€?

KERRY SKOWRONSKI

The ďŹ rst four years of this last council term was a learning curve for the then-new councillor, Kerry Skowronski. Now with her name on the ballot for a second term at the council table, Skowronski said there is a lot of unďŹ nished business that she wants to see through. “We were left with lots of old business to ďŹ nish up.

Being a small business owner in Nipawin, she felt she could be the voice for the Nipawin business community. When she ďŹ rst thought about running, she was told by one of her clients that if you aren’t part of the solution, you are part of the problem. That resonated with her. “I bring a different perspective because I am a business person, and I don’t have a guaranteed income. I have to ďŹ ght my SEE PROFILES PAGE 10

STACEY VIK

Perspectives change when a new council comes to the table and Nipawin town council candidate, Stacey Vik, said he wants to bring a new view to the upcoming council.

been a volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghter, a hockey and baseball coach, and a Chase the Ace volunteer during that time.

Looking into the coming term, Vik said he doesn’t want to make any campaign promises except one, he will act with honesty and integrity. “If there’s any chance of bringing new business to Nipawin, I’d like to help in any way shape or form to bring that to Nipawin to grow the tax base. But I’m not making any promises that I’m lowering taxes or anything. I will do my best to act in the town’s best interest.�

While it is too soon to have an agenda, he said, he is

JOYCE WATTS

Joyce Watts has always

called Nipawin home so when she ran for her ďŹ rst term at the Nipawin town council table, she did it because she was interested in building and growing her community.

For Watts, the past term has been a success with the council bringing in policies and bylaws that ďŹ nancially safeguard the community and treat employees fairly.

Running for a second term, Watts wants to continue to be a part of that work, she said.

Being a part of the town council can mean time away from family and a person’s business and work out of the nine to ďŹ ve scope, and people have to

make sure they are ready for those commitments.

When Watts was ďŹ rst preparing to run for council, she attended council meetings for a year to ensure she was ready for the time commitment, she said.

Everyone has a point of view to contribute, she said, and while they may not agree with the sentiment, councillors need to listen to everyone. “You may not always agree to it, but you might be able to come to some sort of understanding on what really is the underlying issue. Listening is another area where you need to be able to have that skill.�

Jim Ternier said that if he is elected as MLA for Humboldt-Watrous constituency, his focus would be on supporting the local economy, public transportation, and moving away from fossil fuels.

Ternier owns Prairie Garden Seeds, where he has been growing and selling garden seeds since about 1985.

Ternier had moved to Humboldt with his wife in 2005, after receiving an invitation from St. Peter’s Abbey in Muenster to grow his seeds on their land.

Before Humboldt he lived on a family farm north of North Battleford. “Being Green, the whole thing is about climate change, so anything that can reduce our consumption of fossil fuels, reduce the amount of carbon dioxide we’re producing is something I’d support,â€? Ternier said. “It would deďŹ nitely

mean using less fossil fuel, using our energy supplies smarter and get more beneďŹ t out of it.â€?

Ternier advocates for federal and provincial grants for solar panels on homes. “Our daughter has put solar panels on her house, on the farm, and it’s off grid and producing enough of her own electricity to supply her own needs,â€? he said, adding that his own home was retroďŹ tted with social panels from a grant that was available at the time. “The government should be doing the same

When asked what was the most important issue facing Humboldt–Watrous, Saskatchewan Party candidate Donna Harpauer said it was dealing with the aftermath of the pandemic. “We think the No. 1 issue in this particular election is who can best lead Saskatchewan to a recovery,� she said, adding the next government elected after the Monday, Oct. 26 provincial election will have to get Saskatchewan to where it was and then grow even more to ensure government services are sustainable.

Harpauer grew up on a small farm near Guernsey, attending Lanigan Central High before moving to Saskatoon to work as a medical laboratory technologist.

She later returned, farming in the LeRoy area.

Harpauer said her family was always following politics, and it was that background that got her interested in the Sask. Party when it was formed in 1997. “Ultimately, I deďŹ nitely lean towards economic issues,â€? she said. “I’ve been a hardcore believer that if you don’t have a strong economy, you can’t pay for the services that people want in the province and I still am very ďŹ rmly of that belief, that it starts with the economy.â€?

She was ďŹ rst elected as an

MP in 1999 and has served in the legislature ever since.

She has been in a number of cabinet roles, most recently as ďŹ nance minister.

Harpauer said the shutdown caused by the pandemic has been devastating for businesses, which is why the Sask. Party has been working on simulating the economy. Actions to do that includes being one of the ďŹ rst provinces to have a reopening plan, setting up a small business grant program, setting up a hospitality industry support program, spending $2 billion extra on infrastructure and placing a PST exemption on new homes.

If elected, the Sask. Party would set up a tax credit for renovations, reduce power bills by 10 per cent for a year and reduce the small business tax rate to zero per cent for a year.

The goal would be to have balanced budgets by 2024. Harpauer said half of

the deďŹ cit is one-time only pandemic spending, while the other half is a decrease in revenues. “That is why this recovery and stimulus for the economy is so important, is to bring those numbers back to where they were pre-pandemic.â€?

Harpauer said the Sask.

Party’s record in education and healthcare has been solid since it got into government in 2007. “We’ve just about doubled the funding for operations for K to 12 education.

We’ve built 57 new or replacement schools. We’ve hired 1,300 more teachers.�

In healthcare, they built new hospitals and new nursing homes, hired 900 more doctors and 3,800 more nurses, and added drugs to the province’s prescription drug program.

Harpauer said while they reduced surgical wait times, they were creeping back up so the province introduced a new surgical wait time initiative to bring that down.

As for infrastructure in the local area, Harpauer pointed to the Humboldt District Hospital renovations, the new Humboldt Collegiate institute, the new Carlton Trail College, investment into St. Peter’s College, upgrades to Highway 27 and Highway 5, and a new school for Lanigan.

She said she’s now working to get federal funds that would complement provincial funds for a new spray park in Lanigan. “For Humboldt, it’s quite a major wastewater lagoon expansion and upgrade that they want to do here.

We have submitted that as well,� she said. “That’s not as exciting as schools and the hospital but nonetheless for the city, it is very important to get those projects done.�

Maffenbeier running for Buffalo Party in H-W EDITOR

Constance Maffenbeier is hoping to use her experiences as a rancher, police officer, nurse and teacher to advocate for better government if she was elected as MLA for Humboldt-Watrous.

“I have a wide versatile background and so I can talk about a lot of different things that look like they need to be corrected,” said Maffenbeier, who’s running for the Buffalo Party in the Monday, Oct. 26 provincial election.

Since retiring, Maffenbeier makes a living with her husband ranching a commercial herd of 153 Black and Red Angus cows and seven bulls near Guernsey.

Constance Maffenbeier The Buffalo Party, which was the Wexit Party until recently, wants the province of Saskatchewan to have more control over its destiny, whether that’s by coming up with a Quebec-style arrangement within Canada where the province collects its own taxes, has a say in immigration numbers, runs its own police service and op-

erates a pension plan like the Canada Pension Plan; or by separating from the country.

“I’d like to see things changed for the Saskatchewan people,” Maffenbeier said. “We are a great province. We’ve got oodles and oodles of great resources and people. I’d like all that to stay in Saskatchewan for Saskatchewan people.”

Whether or not Saskatchewan should become its own sovereign country should be determined by a referendum, according to the party’s mission statement.

The party also believes in protecting people’s rights and freedoms, in reducing the size of government to reduce red tape and taxes, and ensuring all

Sekulich running for NDP in Humboldt-Watrous Devan C. Tasa EDITOR

If elected as the MLA for Humboldt-Watrous, Wendy Sekulich wants to stand up for the people of the constituency.

“I have a strong passion for politics and I’m a big advocate for people,” she said. “I spent 31 years in education advocating for young people.”

She taught for 31 years in northern Saskatchewan and in and around Saskatoon. She retired last June. She now farms and ranches with her husband near Kenaston. She said she’s a proud Métis woman who is also a wife, a mother and a grandmother.

Sekulich was acclaimed as the New Democratic Party candidate for Humboldt-Watrous at an online nomination meeting on Sept. 15.

It was the NDP’s people first philosophy that spurred Sekulich to run for them in the Monday, Oct. 26 provincial election, she said.

“Throughout my life and career, I’ve often found myself needing to be a voice for many people,” she said.

Sekulich said she’s concerned about healthcare in the province, pointing at the temporary closure of 12 emergency departments across the province, including Davidson and Lanigan.

She herself had to travel to Saskatoon when it became necessary for her to visit the emergency room.

Her experience with the long-term care system also has Sekulich concerned.

She told the story about

Wendy Sekulich securing long-term care for her father.

“He ended up with dementia and needed to be put into long term care and we had him in private care for the longest time. They had no support for him because he didn’t meet a certain criteria.”

So Sekulich ended up fighting the assessment, going all of the way to the minister’s office before a reassessment qualities her father to go into a government run long-term care home.

Once that happened, Sekulich’s efforts went towards ensuring her father was placed nearby. Officials would call her saying that they had a space for her mom (she was gone for five years) and that they had a room for her father that would accommodate a wheelchair (he doesn’t use one).

“It’s lost that personal touch, the personal care, the personalization of it, and putting people ahead, seeing people as people,” she said.

“That got me geared back into my belief that we need voices in this province that are going to stand up for people who lose theirs.”

The NDP has been calling for a long term care system with legislated minimum care standards and more public options.

Sekulich also expressed other concerns, like access to transportation ever since the Saskatchewan Transportation Company was closed down, the lack of access to stable internet in rural areas of the province, and getting access to childcare during the pandemic.

“Those are a couple of the frustrations that I had with the government, and my beliefs, and that’s why I’m willing to put my name forward and willing to go to bat and support people in Saskatchewan. My goal is to be a strong voice, a good representative.”

The NDP has promised to reestablish the Saskatchewan Transportation Company, use the province’s crown corporations to expand high speed internet in rural areas, and estatish a $25-aday child care system.

Cathy Sproule, the NDP MLA for Saskatoon Nutana, also spoke at the nomination meeting, where she said she was glad that Sekulich decided to step up to the plate.

“We are doing really well in terms of campaign preparation. There’s a platform that is coming together really well. We’ve seen a few announcements already.”

Announcements have included investing in geothermal energy, repealing the province’s private MRI legislation and a $100 rebate for SGI policyholders.

people in the province are treated fairly in regards to health care and education.

Maffenbeier said the more she learned about the Buffalo Party and their focus on taking care of people in the province, the more interested she became, until she decided to run for them in the election.

Wade Sira, the party’s leader, told the Humboldt Journal that much of the party’s platform is still being developed and will be released closer to the election.

Maffenbeier said she’d rather see the equalization payments funded

by Saskatchewan taxpayers be used for projects in Saskatchewan.

“We can prosper so much better if we have our own money here and we’re not pandering to the east.”

One of those projects could be improvement to Highway 16, Maffenbeier

said, calling the condition of the highway a disaster.

“I’ve traveled this road when I was a police officer.

I used to go down for training in Yorkton and the road was horrific and it was crappy, and no way could you pass because it was non stop traffic so if you grew up behind the slope, you were doomed.”

The Saskatchewan Party government has promised more passing lanes on the highway over the next two years.

For healthcare, Maffenbeier said the province’s health authority is top heavy at the expense of medical professionals taking care of people on the ground.

“I’ve been in the healthcare field and I know the shortages that are there on the floor in the hospitals,” she said.

“I’d like to see more feet on the ground in the

hospitals, nurses on the floors.”

Maffenbeier would also like to see PST removed from used vehicles. Used vehicles used to be exempt from PST until 2018.

“It’s a hardship for consumers, it’s hardship for people, so that’s one of the things that bugs me.”

Maffenbeier said she would like to see an updated curriculum in K to 12 education that focuses on the basics and avoids political position, as that should be taught at home.

The candidate said the constituency needs an MLA who’s able to look at what needs fixing and making sure things don’t become stagnant.

“In the HumboldtWatrous area you’d need a representative that is going to look after the best interests of the people in your constituency and that’s what I want to do.”

EAST CENTRAL RECORDER

CARROT RIVER VALLEY

McCorriston running for NDP in CRV Jessica R. Durling

REPORTER

EAST CENTRAL — Rod McCorriston said that if he is elected as MLA for Carrot River Valley, his focus would include healthcare, education, transportation and building infrastructure using Saskatchewan workers.

McCorriston was born and raised in Tisdale, and has spent the last 10 years serving as the director for labour relations for the Saskatchewan Government General Employees Union.

In addition, he has spent over 20 years with the Department of Highways and Transportation helping to co-ordinate highway maintenance across Saskatchewan.

“My goals and platform is obviously to represent the citizens and the voters of Carrot River Valley with strong representation,” McCorriston said.

“I’m committed to delivering the same type of hard work and commitment into representing Carrot River Valley.”

McCorriston said one issue that is important to the NDP is upgrading infrastructure to communities throughout

Rod McCorriston Saskatchewan.

“The issues that are important to the NDP are highlighted in regards to what’s happened just recently in Tisdale, we had the fiber optics upgraded in the town and that’s a good thing to upgrade infrastructure.”

He said that the disappointing aspect of it is that the plates on the vehicles were all from Alberta – something that he would work to change if elected.

“We want to generate economic activity by having our infrastructure updated, but using Saskatchewan companies and Saskatchewan workers to do this work. We think that will create some economic activity that is sorely needed in rural Saskatchewan, and it would cre-

ate work for our workers.”

Another thing McCorriston said he would fight for is a mode of accessible transportation to and from rural communities to the major cities in the province.

“We will be returning the STC (Saskatchewan Transportation Company) in some form,” he said.

“I’m touting a public, private partnership where we have feeder vans feed the larger centres, and that’s where the larger buses would travel into the cities on a daily basis, and then travel to rural Saskatchewan – and the feeder vans would take them to their home locations.”

If elected, McCorriston said he plans to return funding to the education sector, reduce class sizes and ensure teachers and assistants have the materials they need.

“When I used to go to school, there wasn’t the fundraising that was required for the supplies that was needed in the schools, or for the extracurricular activities. Those were already funded by taxpayers’ dollars. So we see the chronic underfunding of the education is causing our education system to not be the highest quality.”

In the sector of healthcare, McCorriston said he is committed to returning the homecare sector.

“We are going to get back to what homecare was when it was first implemented,” McCorriston said.

“I think if they had more staff in the homecare, that this stuff could be used and it would allow people to stay in their homes longer. We’re going to have a crisis on our hands in terms of long-term care. There is going to be the baby boomers in 10 to 15 years who are going to need these long-term care homes so we need to get ready for that crisis.”

With his plans, McCorriston said this will require a deficit – but now is the appropriate time for that to happen.

“People are hurting and we have a pandemic that we need to spend a little bit of money to keep the economy rolling and create economic activity to grow ourselves out of this mess,” McCorriston said.

“This government has left us with 26 billion dollars in debt, and that’s not even counting the debt load in the crowns.” reporter@tisdalerecorder.ca

ment disestablishes something.”

Ternier said even if the provincial government doesn’t make money from the reformed STC, it’s this service that he feels is important to have available to the public.

For the local economy, Ternier said he would like to see more local producers of food.

“Is there tax changes or easier accessibility to land, what would it take? I don’t know,” Ternier said.

“There are some initiatives, people producing local food.

I’ll have to visit them all and see what they need for them to succeed in doing what they’re doing presently.”

Ternier said one of the things he would look at is if changing the tax-structure could better support local food producers.

“We have local food produced, and it’s often without agricultural chemicals. We have animal products, we have vegetables, sprouts, these are all good initiatives because the local people are buying them, the money circulates locally rather than just being shipped off to urban centres.”

Other things he said he would advocate for are included in Green Party policy including a guaranteed annual income, and more childcare accessibility.

Buscholl running for PCs in Humboldt-Watrous Jessica R. Durling REPORTER

Rose Buscholl said that if she is elected as MLA for Humboldt-Watrous constituency, her focus would be on job sustainability, funding for mental health, funding for drug rehabilitation, removal of PST on children’s clothes and bringing back the film tax-credit.

Buscholl previously served on the RM of Colonsay council, and holds a bachelor degree with a major in anthropology and a minor in psychology.

“My main concern right now is keeping people in Saskatchewan working, keeping these businesses open, get people back in Saskatchewan, the mental health aspect, the film tax-credit – and just overall don’t put budget cuts to healthcare and education,” Buscholl said.

“Those are two areas that should never be cut.”

Buscholl said if elected, she would fight for

Rose Buscholl Saskatchewan workers being employed in large construction jobs.

“I want to be able to keep jobs in the province instead of outsourcing them because of the partnership agreement that we have with other provinces,” Buscholl said.

“I see companies closing down all the time and it’s because when it comes to large construction jobs they’re tendered out and big companies from outside of the province get the tender.”

As MLA, Buscholl said she would like to increase funding for drug rehabilita-

tion and for mental health.

“You go to a doctor and you’re diagnosed with anxiety and you’re given a prescription but you’re not given the resources for councillors, and when you do find one they’re not free and a lot of people can’t afford it.”

In practice, Buscholl said this would mean more councilors and looking into bringing back psychiatric specialty nurses.

“They could be a real useful tool when it comes to first responders, and I’m talking about police or

volunteer firefighters,” she said.

“Bring back the CISM, Critical Incident Stress Management, these programs were a benefit to people because it gave them the access and availability to counselling when they needed it in a crisis – and they didn’t need to pay for them.”

In terms of taxes, Buscholl said she would like to see the removal of PST on clothes designed for children, as well as what she calls “double taxation.”

“You buy a used vehicle,

the PST has already been paid on that vehicle, so why are we paying it again?”

Buscholl said one thing she would like to bring back is the film tax-credit.

“This is a billion dollar industry a year, and the Sask Party cut the tax credit. It’s a tax credit, it isn’t free money,” she said. “They did it because they said it saved millions of dollars.

By saving that money that they said, it also took out billions of dollars from the economy. So we need to start bringing that back.”

To get the funding for

these focuses, Buscholl said it ties back to giving large Saskatchewan construction jobs to Saskatchewan workers.

“When you have people working, there is that taxation base that comes in. When you don’t have people working you don’t have that taxation base that comes in, then as a result they’re wondering why can’t they balance the budget. Then they start doing cuts to healthcare and education which should never be cut.” reporter@tisdalerecorder.ca

NIPAWIN TOWN HALL

Council decides on use for relief money Becky Zimmer LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER, BATTLEFORDS NEWSOPTIMIST

NIPAWIN — Nipawin town council decided how they are going to spend their federal funding from the Safe Restart Canada Plan.

The province received $70.32 million from the federal government to distribute to Saskatchewan municipalities on a per capita basis. This funding will help the municipalities adjust to changes to their communities since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Town of Nipawin received $262,537 in total. Town council voted unanimously at their Oct. 13 council meeting to put $220,336.62 of the grant against the deficit brought on by the drop in revenue from facilities closure and the rise in expenses due to

COVID-19. The remaining $42,200.38 going towards the town’s stabilization reserves to offset revenue deficits in the 2021 budget.

According to the report prepared by Lesley Richer, the chief financial officer, and Chelsea Corrigan, director of parks and recreation, it has been confirmed that this use for the Safe Restart funds is the exact way the provincial government intended it to be spent.

Dressing rooms The town has also unanimously approved preliminary plans for dressing room additions at the Nipawin Centennial and Jubilee Arena Complex. Town staff will be putting the project forward for funding from the provincial Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program COVID-19 Resilience Infrastructure Stream.
