Further to the announcement a few weeks ago, regarding the closure of the Kipling Arena for the filming of the movie, Three Day Test, Council received word today that due to time restrictions the movie filming has been moved back until later this year. At this point, there has been no new firm date given.
The arena will carry on as usual for the rest of the season. Again, we thank all the user groups who have been terrific in their support for this project.
Town of Kipling
The Medieval Feast being sponsored by the Kipling and District Lions Club is only three weeks away.
That’s right folks-the big evening of gala and fun is Saturday, March 10 at the Kipling Community Centre.
• “Canada’s New Government” hasn’t allowed the Canadian Wheat Board to advertise its views on single desk marketing of barley and wheat since the announcement that a plebiscite will be held.
To the Editor:
Sincere thanks to our wonderful trio of doctors. Their exemplary medical professionalism, friendly accommodating manner and dedication in providing Kipling and District with invaluable service are commendable and greatly appreciated.
The other day, I was reading a national news magazine’s article on the “Obesity Epidemic”. I know that the mass media are high on hyperbole but “Epidemic” isn’t far from the truth. If obesity truly is an epidemic why isn’t something drastic being done? Where is the action?
George Barta, late of Carlyle, and formerly of Kipling, Saskatchewan, passed away February 19, 2007, at the age of 86.
George was born in the Bekevar community near Kennedy, SK. on August 5, 1920. He attended Rakoczi School until his teen years, when he left school to farm, first with his father, then his own farm, near Inchkeith.
In April of 1942, he enlisted in the Army for the purpose or joining active service. With the No. 2 Special Wireless Signal Corps. regiment L65285, he served first in Canada, then overseas in England, France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany.
At the conclusion of World War II, he returned on the ship: Queen Elizabeth, one of 12,314 on board, including the late Sir Winston Churchill who was enroute to the USA to vacation.
George was married to Mildred Baxter in 1948, and together they farmed until their recent retirement to Kipling.
A skilled carpenter by nature and an avid reader from boyhood, both pastimes stood George in good stead, his entire life.
George was predeceased by his mother Rose (Torok) Barta, father James Barta Sr., step-mother Kathleen Beresh-Barta, mother-in-law Marie (Beck) Baxter, father-in-law Thomas Baxter, infant brother Frank, sister Mary and brother-in-law Andrew Szabics, sister Julia and brother-in-law Cecil Siver, sister Elizabeth and brother-in-law Sydney Izsak, brothers Jim and Peter, uncle Peter and aunt Mary (Szilagyi) Barta, cousin Leslie Barta, step-brothers Emil, Alex and Calvin Beresh, step-sister Helen (Beresh) Roberts, step-sister-in-law Angeline (Szakacs) Beresh, brothers-in-law Walter Baxter, Henry Schultz, and Edward Hjelte, sisters-in-law Lillian (Baxter) Borders and Violet (Baxter) Hjelte, and step-grandson Dean Shrader.
He is survived by former wife, Mildred, daughter Elaine (Lloyd) Schrader, step-grandchildren Nancy (Gordon), Brenda (Dan), Darcy (Shelly), Bernice (Doug), brother Frank and sister- in-law Margaret (Nagy) Barta, sister Lillian and brother-in-law Bill Culling, sisters-in-law Hilda (Worley) Barta and Clara (Balog) Barta, step-brother Arthur Beresh, step-sister-in-law Ellen (Kirichenko) Beresh, aunt Myrtle (Vale) Stapleton, sisters-in-law Mabel (Baxter) Waterfield, Margaret (Baxter) Schultz, Elsie (Hjelte) Baxter, Clara (Hjelte) Baxter, Betty (Starrett) Baxter, brothers-in-law Arthur Baxter, Harold Baxter, Jack Waterfield and Roy Borders, as well as numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and dear friends.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
If friends so desire, donations may be made to the Bekevar Heritage Fund in memory of George Barta.
So, over the past week I have learned the importance of Red Bull, the energy enhancing drink. We have had extremely long days, lately, trying to get this movie done right. How long you may be asking? Try 6:30 in the morning until 12:30 at night! Twice! In a row! But other than that my time here has been very well spent.
Did you know you can order in that next book you want to read? Southeast Regional Library has 500,000 books housed at head quarters and its 48 library branches. Six days a week the SRL van travels its routes exchanging blocks of books amongst the branches and bringing requested items to its patrons.
On Saturday, February 17th, 2007 a lone female entered the Kipling Liquor Store. The female took possession of a liquor bottle and exited the store without paying. The female was possibly picked up by a second person driving a tan coloured van. The female was described as First Nation descent, with long black hair and wearing a black leather jacket.
Anyone with information on this crime or any other is asked to contact Crime Stoppers or their local RCMP Detachment.
The Prairie Valley Board of Education has completed public consultation meetings in the 11 communities whose schools are currently being reviewed by the Board to determine their viability.
Board Chair Rod Luhning says the meetings were well attended and gave Board members and central office staff an opportunity to learn more about the unique needs and features of the individual school communities.
