ILLINGWORTH: Well Family, friends and neighbours, we are here today to remember our Son, brother, uncle and gentleman all wrapped up in one. On Feb. 8, 1948 Brian, along with his twin brother Bruce were born in the Notre Dame Hospital, now called Battlefords Union Hospital. At that time Brian and Bruce were the first set of twins born there. Upon their arrival home their oldest sister switched name tags, but Mom got the tags back on the right one. What are big sisters for? As time went on another sister came along, Eleanor by name; then the youngest sibling, a brother by the name of Alvin. In the future years, school comes along. The first years were spent in a country school called East Hill. Brian s first teacher was Hazel Acaster, who later became his cousin upon her marriage to Doug Illingworth. In the spring it was off to school with his brother and sister by horse and cart. Winter was over the fields by horse and cutter. To keep warm it was heated by a sturdy five gallon pail
For the Battlefords a case could be made that it was our worst year ever worse than even the cryptosporidium and oil spill years and not just because of the COVID-19 pandemic that prompted shutdowns, economic devastation, and no shortage of loss of life in the province and world. It was a year in which one event after another ended up postponed or called off. It was also a year of devastating tragedy: the loss of a beloved Battleford NHL player, a tragic local murder-suicide, and ongoing and notorious criminal cases in the local courts. But look on the bright side: at least North Battleford isn’t the “Crime Capital of Canada” anymore, ending a long streak at the top of the Crime Severity Index this year.
