Young martial artists smile as they get experience in the kumite.

By Kelly Running The Moose Mountain Wado Kai Karate Club based in Carlyle hosted the Saskatchewan Provincial Wado Kai Karate Championship on Saturday, Nov. 22. The weekend began with a clinic held the night before by Denis Labbé, President of the Shintani Wado Kai Karate Federation (SWKKF) and eighth degree black belt, who also oversaw the tournament. Labbé was very pleased with both the clinic and the tournament exclaiming everyone who attended did very well. “In the clinic on Friday we had 35 kids between 6:00 and 7:30; we had a lot of fun with that and then we had 23 adults between 7:30 and 9:30 who came out as well,” Labbé explained. “We had a very good night.” The tournament, Labbé said, consisted of two categories of competition. The first being the kata and the second being the kumite. “The kata focuses on techniques and they are put together for an imaginary fight,” Labbé stated. “They are then judged on their form, technique, power, and speed. Each level has differences, but all require two katas in order to reach the next level. There’s always a goal.” Five judges score the kata. Determining a score the highest and lowest ones are eliminated and the other three totalled. If there is a tie the highest and lowest scores are then brought in, if this cannot determine a winner then those tied must compete again. The kata is important for focusing on techniques, which are necessary when taking part in the kumite. “The kata routine is learned and this strong spirit used within the kata has to also be used in the kumite.” The kumite is the fighting between others of the same level. It lasts for a total of two minutes, with five judges looking for contact, appropriate or illegal. Contact must be made above the belt and below the neck. Points may be awarded if the individual uses control enough to show they could have made contact to the individuals head, but must not actually make contact or be disqualified. “We are very family-oriented and want it to be fun,” Labbé explained. “So, judges look for points but also touches to the face, back, or below the belt.” Impressed with those competing, Labbé exclaimed, “We have a very good group here today.” Labbé, who is from Ontario, actually studied under Sensei Masaru Shintani the founder of this particular style of martial arts. “I was 14, in high school, grade 10, and Masaru Shintani, he was my instructor,” Labbé stated. “A teacher at my school emphasized a school karate program. Sensei Shintani had night classes, but would come in at 3 o’clock after school.” “He had come in to do a demonstration and I wasn’t into team sports really, but had wanted to try martial arts, so I was lucky. It kind of turned into my thing and I really enjoyed it, so I progressed from there and had a first degree black belt by the time I graduated.” After being secretary for the SWKKF for years, Labbé became Sensei Shintani’s successor. “It has been great, it’s become part of my life,” Labbé stated. “Every day of my life is lived around it: balance and discipline. Sensei really made an impact on my life.” The local Moose Mountain Wado Kai Karate Club was also happy with the day as Jayson Humphries, sensei, explained: “We have a good group of people here today with people coming from Manitoba, Saskatoon, and Ontario. We usually have a group from Alberta, but Raith Mokelky, the sensei there, was unable to make it this year due to work obligations. It’s actually the first year in 29 years that he was unable to come.” Both Humphries and Labbé were also very thankful to all of the volunteers throughout the day. The Moose Mountain Karate Club will submit the results of the tournament to The Observer in the next couple of weeks.

Commercial Carlyle Home Hardware dealer-owner Nancy Matthewson (cr) is pictured here with sales associate Katie Matthewson (c) and Home Hardware Executive VP and COO Terry David (r), Lance Shiply, Director of Retail Operations for Western Canada (l) and Yvonne Grommet (l) Area Manager for Saskatchewan. The Carlyle store has been recognized numerous times nationally, and their most recent achievement has Nancy Matthewson appearing in the company’s 2014 Christmas TV commercials, which air from Dec. 1 until Dec. 23.

By Lynne Bell Carlyle’s Home Hardware store has once again received national recognition by the company’s head office as owner Nancy Matthewson has been chosen to appear in Home Hardware’s Christmas commercials which will air starting on December 1 “on the big networks as well as a good number of specialty channels,” according to Ron Mugford, Home Hardware’s creative director. “One is a 30-second commercial and one is a 15-second sale commercial that Nancy will appear in as well,” added Mugford. “The Christmas commercial with Nancy goes to air December 1 until Christmas, and the Christmas sale TV commercial featuring Nancy

goes on air December 3 to December 12.” Matthewson found out in January that she would be appearing in the chain’s 2014 Christmas commercials. “I auditioned at the [Home Hardware] 2013 Spring Market,” she says. “It was filmed in the Orillia [Ontario] store. It’s kind of weird. You read these lines over and over again, but when I saw the commercial, it’s seconds-long.” “It seems like a long time to come up with a commercial, but it was an interesting experience.” The commercial is the most recent recognition the store has received nationally. Since building the store on Railway Avenue, Matthewson, her

husband Gilles and their staff have received three consecutive “Proud of My Home” awards from the company, making Carlyle Home Hardware the top store in Saskatchewan for the past two years. Matthewson credits their staff and customers for much of the store’s success. “My staff is golden, for sure,” she says. “You can tell when you walk in the store, what a great staff we have.” “Our customers from our entire trading area are amazing. Because of their support, we’re able to contribute to causes and organizations within our entire trading area,” she says. “They’re really pumped for us and we’re so grateful.”

Comedy for a cause: Alida flood relief continues with Dec. 6 Christmas fundraiser By Lynne Bell The Alida Recreation Board’s 2nd Annual Christmas fundraiser will be using comedy for a good cause, as they welcome comedian Andrew Albert to the Alida Hall on December 6. This year, proceeds from the evening will go to rebuilding the community’s flooddamaged rink. “Our rink was damaged in the floods last summer,” says Alida Rec Board member Margaret Peet. We have no rink this year. We’re hoping to repair the damage to our waiting room with the proceeds of this evening.” “Our rink has two sheets of artificial curling ice, a rink we use for hockey and skating, our waiting room was damaged and the basement was flooded. The curling ice pipes were lifted and the waiting room ceilings were damaged. As a result, we have no ice. We can’t use our rink this year, but we’re hoping to have things up and running by next year.” Peet says that in addition to the six members on

the Rec Board, there is also a separate rebuilding committee. “Last year, before the floods, we held our first event of this kind. We used the proceeds to redo the ceiling in the hall, so that got completed.” “That first fundraiser was a sell-out and we’re hoping for the same this year. We have 160 tickets to sell and we’d really like to encourage people to get their tickets early, but also to consider holding their Christmas party at our fundraiser. We have comedian Andrew Albert coming in and it’s a licensed event with a supper of cornish game hens and cabbage rolls.” “Not only did we sell out last year, but we had a waiting list,” adds Peet. “People came from throughout the surrounding area-not just Alida. We welcome anyone who’d like to come out.” Peet says that the community of Alida will continue to adapt to life without a rink. “The kitchen volunteers usually hold breakfasts

in the rink. This year, we’ll be holding them in the Alida Hall, beginning the first Sunday in January.” “There’s a good community here,” she says. “Everybody knows everybody; everybody pitches in and everybody is so good to help out.” “Hopefully, by this time next year, we’ll have our rink up and running again, too.” Alida Recreation Board’s 2nd Annual Christmas Fundraiser will be held Saturday, Dec. 6 at the Alida Hall. The event begins with Happy Hour and appetizers at 5 p.m., supper at 6 p.m. with comedian Andrew Albert taking the stage at 8 p.m. Tickets to the event are $40 each, with reserved seating and tables available upon request. Tickets may be purchased at the following Alida businesses: M&N Diner Inc. 443-2567, Centre Street Grocers 4432444 and Alida Post Office 443-2599, or from any Alida Rec Board Member.

Healing touch: Arbon & Goodson Energy Practitioners By Lynne Bell Stoughton’s Elizabeth Goodson says that her position as minister of Stoughton’s Grace United Church and her partnership in her business, Arbon & Goodson, Energy Practitioners, allows her to explore, explain, and appreciate many aspects of spirituality and healing. “I am a partner in a spirituality business with Hazel Arbon, who works in Regina and lives in Vibank. She is also a United Church minister. We are colleagues in the ministry and we started planning creative worship services together, when she was in Weyburn and I was in Kipling.” The pair have almost 50 years combined ministry experience in the United Church of Canada and each have completed two years of specialized training to become spiritual directors. Both have completed Healing Pathways training to become Healing Touch practitioners, both are reiki masters, and both have completed a one-year program through Stonebridge College, UK to become certified Crystal Healer practitioners. “We’ve done three seminar retreats here in Stoughton and two events in other locations,” she adds. “Because the United Church is very accepting and very curious about all types of spirituality, I have been able to train as a reiki master and I am also qualified in healing touch, crystal healing, and tarot exploration. My interest in these areas has been growing for years. My grandmother was interested in all this stuff. People are eager to learn more, and I want to help them get spiritual nourishment.” Individual treatments

by Goodson take place in her Stoughton home and Arbon practices out of her home in Vibank. Goodson says a treatment typically takes 40 minutes for a first appointment and usually 20 minutes per visit thereafter, depending on the treatment. “At a first appointment, I like to talk to the person about their concern before I work on them,” she says. “For all of the treatments, the person remains fullyclothed, with their shoes off, if they’re comfortable taking their shoes off. They lie down on my massage table and in the case of healing touch, people have the choice of hands on or hands off.” “I start on the bottoms of the feet and gradually move up-to the foot, ankle, knee and hip, one leg at a time. Then I balance the hips and then move on to the core: lower abdomen, upper abdomen, and heart. I balance the shoulders, and then move up to the heart, throat and forehead, up to the crown of the head.” “I usually put my hands on the arms and legs, if the person is comfortable with me doing so and then, I usually have my hands two inches above the rest of their body.” “They would usually feel various things, but the best way to describe it would be feeling almost as if a warm blanket was being pulled up over their body. They may feel a bit of tingling and some people may end up laughing or crying, depending on what they want to release.” Goodson says that crystal healing involves a similar process, where crystals are placed on seven different energy centres (or chakras) on the body in an effort to balance the chakras and surround the body with healing energy.

“I tend to use healing touch the most,” she says. “I have helped people with phobias and physical ailments, like insomnia and pain.” However, Goodson stresses; “I always tell people: ‘I am a healer-I don’t cure.’ Healing treatments with me always go hand-inhand with traditional medicine. To say otherwise is not ethical and totally against how we were trained and our code.” “Healing is sometimes coming to a place of acceptance. One example is a woman whose family called me in. She was dying and was experiencing a great deal of pain. I went to the hospital and did healing touch on her and I was later told by her family members that her last three weeks were peaceful and without pain.” “There is one specific healing touch practice, specifically designed for the dying; to provide peace for them and to help ease their spirit so it can pass peacefully.” Goodson believes that anyone can perform healing touch. “It is my belief that it’s not a gift. It’s something anybody can learn to do.There are set hand positions that we are trained to do. It is like the tradition of ‘the laying on of hands.’ It’s a way we can access divine energy and to call on our bodies to be a channel for that energy so we can help it flow into the person we are working on.” “But it is important to remember that healing is an act of prayer; and the intention is asking for a person to receive their highest good.” “We use tarot cards in the same way, says Goodson. “We do not use them

Tarot cards do not tell the future in any way, and I would strongly suggest that people steer away from anyone who suggests that they can. We’re not mind readers. Instead, we use them as a prayer to receive God’s answer for what will help you in your life at this moment. For us, tarot cards are just

another tool and I choose to use them as prayer tools.” “We are all a combination of the sacred and the secular, the logical and the spiritual, and matter and energy. The body, mind, and spirit are not separate and distinct from one another; they are all working together to enhance our human experience.”

“That was our intention when we started this business-to help people access spiritual nourishment and to access their highest good.” For more information about Arbon & Goodson Energy Practitioners, check out: ‘Spirit, not religion’ on Facebook or call Elizabeth Goodson at 457-3135.

OBSERVER OPINION Head toward the hills By Shelley Luedtke

had the opportunity recently to visit the city where I lived for five of my elementary school years. I had some time to drive around and see familiar places including schools, churches, parks and ball diamonds. It was fun to revisit the homes where my friends had lived. Each place had its own character and reasons we wanted to be there. One had a great backyard and lots of outdoor equipment. One had no true backyard but a spacious attic that was great for playing in. One friend lived in an apartment which we thought was so unique because she was the only one we knew who did. The city drive continued past my junior high school which was such an imposing and scary building to transition to at the time, but now seemed so ordinary and understated. The same could be said for the big ball diamond where the city championships were held each year which was so intimidating compared to the diamonds we played on all season. But what struck me most as I was touring was how good it felt to drive past the parks where we spent a lot of time. I must have looked ridiculous sitting in my car smiling broadly at the sight of the outdoor skating rink that was located a few blocks from my home. Hours were spent on the ice in the winter and on the playground equipment in the summer. They’ve added a spray park and I can only imagine the fun we could have had with that. But that new installation wasn’t what caused the grin. What caught my attention most was the huge hill leading down to the park. It was our summit for tobogganing on winter days, and our challenge on summer days as we took off on a run gathering speed down the slope, willing our feet to keep up. The hill, like so many things of childhood, had reached epic proportions in my memory and imagination. Not surprisingly the hill looked totally different to me now. Time and perspective tend to do that. Countless memories arose as I thought back to time on that hill, mostly the faces of the friends we’d spent those hours with. We never did it alone. We helped each other on our ascent, or slowed down to keep pace with others on the descent. Getting to the top was an achievement, especially when clothed in winter gear and lugging a sled, but that achievement was all the more special because there were others standing beside us when we did. A quick glance amongst the group was all it took to set a plan in motion and encourage us to tackle it again. At times we may feel like those wide-eyed children standing at the top of the mountain wondering how we’re going to handle what’s coming. Sometimes we may feel worn and defeated looking up from the bottom at obstacles that seem enormous. Or we find ourselves perched some place along the slope fearing a fall, questioning what might be ahead if we dare take another step and looking around to see who might be beside us. There were other places I saw in the city that day; the brick wall we lobbed tennis balls off requiring my sob-filled confession as I made shattering contact with the window in the top right hand corner; the intersection where I got hit by a car while riding my bike on my way home; and the windows of the third grade classroom where my teacher told me my art work wasn’t worthy to be included in a class project. It would have been easy to recall unpleasant memories at those parks, pools and playgrounds as friends had quarrels or we felt left out. But these weren’t the first thoughts I had on my tour because, once again, time and perspective had done their work. Once in a while maybe we need to take a tour of our life as it was a year ago, ten years ago…twenty…or more. Take a look at where we were then and where we are now—for better or for worse. Consider the obstacles defeated, and the ones yet to be faced. It’s not about crushing the hills but making our way up and down through all that is on their path, keeping in mind the helping hands that assisted us in the climb, along with the ones who slowed their pace to walk alongside when we needed to be kept from running out of control. Think of all we have dealt with, all we have learned, and all the ways in which time and perspective have done their thing. A brief tour could be just what is needed to help us prepare for the next ascents and descents on the hillsides of our lives. That’s my outlook.

Memories last a lifetime By Kelly Running

’m always told that four hours isn’t very far away from home. For the most part it’s not too bad, but there are instances when it seems forever away. Usually I agree with them, after all living on a farm half an hour away from the nearest grocery store turned distance and time into the norm for travelling places. The other day I awoke to a phone call, my grandmother had passed away in her sleep and my dad was calling to let me know. She was 90 and had lived to see so much in the world. Living four hours away never felt further, I couldn’t drop everything and go home to be with family; four hours became ridiculously far in that moment. Usually not living close to family isn’t too difficult, but this was something that was really quite tough which struck me even more that day. I had gone out to work and then later drop off a baby gift with a friend, I found the newborn’s grandma was with them in the house and I almost asked if I could have a hug but thought that might be weird. It’s a strange feeling to think that life goes on when someone who has been a constant in your life passes away. You know it does and you go on with your day, but there’s a feeling

of sadness that just can’t be shaken. As I went out and did an interview last Sunday, I tried to be in the moment but my thoughts continually drifted to Granny. She was ready to go and we were prepared, as much as one can be for losing a loved one; but, knowing that the next time I go home I won’t get to visit with her, play cards with her, or do crosswords with her does bring tears to my eyes because she’s no longer here and my memories are all I have left of her. They’re happy memories and there are lots of them, but the reality is there won’t be more made and I think that’s what hurts when we lose someone close to us. She did have dementia and usually thought I was still in school in Lethbridge whenever I talked to her, but the last time I saw her a few months ago she had remembered that I write for a newspaper though didn’t know where. Our chat though was about how it doesn’t matter where I am as long as I like what I’m doing. We’d play cards, which she always managed to win, or do crosswords, which she could spout off answers like nothing else leaving me to simply fill in the spaces. She taught me how to knit when I was younger and always had the most delicious food. Homemade buns, lefsa, shrimp creole, rosettes, that woman could cook and bake like no one else. The last few years I’ve taken up making rosettes, a tedious task, but one

that reminds me of standing in Granny’s kitchen when I was little. I just got to eat a few after that time and she wouldn’t let me help her when I was younger because she was worried I would burn myself on either the hot iron or the oil; but she was so proud and happy when I brought her some each Christmas. The other day someone told me I put a lot of myself into my columns and I know this one definitely falls into that category, but the thing about loss is that everyone goes through it and to talk about the feelings it evokes in us is important. Everyone deals with grief differently, with loss in different ways, but it is something we all experience. When it comes to a column it’s sometimes difficult to find a topic and although I attempted to write about anything other than this, it was all I could focus on when I started writing. I’m not looking for sympathy or for you to feel sorry for me for losing one of my grandmothers, but to simply take a moment and give a family member a hug, tell them you love them, and to just spend a little time together. Life is hectic and taking a moment for family can often be put off until later, but don’t put it off, make the memories now and make many of them. I know I am lucky and thankful for the time I’ve spent with mine. I can’t wait to hug my Oma (my other grandma) and the rest of my family when I get home this week.

OBSERVER LIFESTYLES Pause for By Ken Rolheiser www.kenrolheiser.com Reflection Martha and Mary and low level controversies Two men working in a factory were talking. “I know how to get some time off,” said one. “How are you going to do that?” “Watch,” he said, and climbed up on a rafter. The foreman asked what he was doing up there, and the man replied. ”I’m a light bulb.” “I think you need some time off,” the foreman said, and the first man walked out of the factory. After a moment, the second man followed him. “Where do you think you’re going?” the foreman shouted. “I can’t work in the dark,” he said. That is one way of getting out of work. In Luke 10:41 Mary is sitting at the Lord’s feet while Martha complains to Jesus that she is left to do all the menial tasks. Jesus points out that Mary has chosen the better role – the presence of the Lord trumps all the busy preparations that can muddle up our patience. Imagine a couple getting ready for weekend visitors. The husband and wife divide up tasks and schedule activities to

free up the time to visit when the guests arrive. Then time gets short and tasks get long. Patience is elusive and tempers rise. The most important thing here is not the coming guests. What we offer each other in a family is more important than what we offer any visitors. The presence of Jesus in each member of the family trumps the expected visitors. Jesus is already here. Let’s bask in the joy of that. We can avoid the low level controversies and fix our hearts on Jesus constant presence. “Invited or not, God is present,” Carl Jung. I know a man who plans preparations so that he will have time for a rest before his company arrives. “What can I offer my guests if I am burned out,” he says. What we offer each other in a family is more important than what we offer any visitors. Jesus is the guest who will come perhaps when we do not expect Him. “I will stand at my guard post… and keep watch, to see what he will say to me” (Habakkuk 2:1). In the Martha and Mary

story Martha snaps at Jesus for letting Mary visit with him and leaving her to do all the household tasks. Notice that Jesus loved her nevertheless and gently led her thinking in another direction: “Martha, Martha, you worry and fret about so many things… only one is needed. Mary has chosen the better part.” Our love for others should carry us through those times of stressful preparation. It is then we need to be Christian and put love ahead of pettiness. Living our lives against the eternal backdrop of God’s presence will help us be grateful for the gifts of creation and the gift of each other. In the Lord all burdens are lightened. It is all a matter of perspective. Two men labour side by side in the hot sun. One of them is laying bricks; the other is building a cathedral. Come to me, all who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest… my yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).

Steps in choosing the perfect gift By Linda Wegner Believe it or not, like it or not, Christmas is less than a month away. Thanks to a mother who never failed to celebrate no matter how difficult the circumstances, I love everything about the season. Well, almost everything. Choosing gifts for family and friends challenges me so much that I decided to do some research. From a number of websites I gleaned these excellent tips and I share them with you (just in case I’m not alone in this dilemma). First thing on the list: be well acquainted with your friend’s interests and, I would add, their needs. I

never thought I’d ever ask Hubby for a walking cane but recently I did just that. And then there is the matter of budget; having one is a no-brainer, sticking to it is another matter. P.S. January is much more pleasant when you do. Next: take someone with you when you shop. Not sure if the writer had choosing a gift or sticking to a budget in mind but advice in either category is valuable. Once the gift is purchased the next step involves wrapping it. While retrieving newspaper from the recycle bin is far less expensive, it does help to be a bit more

creative. Having said that it is highly possible to be both artistic and cheap at the same time - just be sure both elements are included. After you’ve written a note or card and if it’s at all possible, present the gift in person. While the virtual world trumps postage and transportation costs, at this special time of the year nothing beats a gift accompanied by a hug. Next week read more about the supreme gift and giver. “For by grace are ye saved through faith’ and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.” Ephesians 2:8 KJV

Quote for the Week: “Don’t look back. Something may be gaining on you.” ~ Satchel Paige

Through the Lens By Moose Mountain Photography Club To a child’s ear, ‘mother’ is magic in any language,” ~ Arlene Benedict

Dear Ellen Dear Readers, Last week a mother wrote in asking what date rape drugs were. This week I want to talk more specifically about ways to protect you from sexual assault and date rape drugs. A sexual assault is defined as any unwanted sexual contact forced on a person without her/his consent and may range from non-accidental touching to forced intercourse. Anyone who forces sexual activity on another person can be charged with sexual assault. Sexual assault can happen to any male or female of any age, ethnic background, physical appearance or life style. Almost 80% of sexual assaults occur between people who know each other. Offenders are usually known by the victim, be it a neighbor, employer, date or family member. Use of drugs or alcohol does not excuse the offender. The offender is responsible for his actions. Sexual assault is about gaining power and control to dominate a victim and is an act of violence not sexual passion. How do you keep yourself safe? Say no as if you mean no; if you don’t mean no, don’t say it. Be clear, honest and consistent in your verbal communications. Always trust your instincts, if you have any hesitations about someone, don’t date them. One of the best ways to reduce your chances of having your drink contaminated with one of the date rape drugs is: is to limit your alcohol consumption, especially if you are in a group setting or with someone you do not know well or trust. Only accept drinks from a bartender or server; do not accept a drink from anyone you don’t know or trust. Do not drink your beverage if you have left it unattended, or it tastes salty, looks cloudy or has small chunky pieces in it. Be cautious about drinking different types of drinks at one time. Mixing different types of alcohol can accelerate the sedating effects if you have been drugged. If you have been sexually assaulted, it is not your fault. Always remember, even if you take risk-reducing behaviours, you cannot prevent someone from committing a crime.

Parenting Tips from Regional KidsFirst – Dressing for winter weather Each season brings different temperatures. Cold winter weather will soon be upon us. Children love outdoor winter activities like sledding, building snow forts and making snow angels. To have a safe and enjoyable time outdoors, your child needs to be properly dressed. There are three ways to stay warm when it is cold: 1. Cover all parts of your child’s body. Your

child needs: ● a coat or snowsuit, ● warm boots, ● mittens or gloves and ● a hood or toque. 2. Dress in layers. Two or three layers of clothing give extra warmth 3. Keep dry. Your child’s body cools faster when wet. This is good in the summer, but not good in winter. Wet clothes will not keep your child warm. Try to keep dry in cold weather.

Preschool children are old enough to begin dressing themselves, but they need to know what clothing is needed for the current season. Fill a bucket with clothing items that represent different seasons. Use a winter coat, spring jacket, scarf, sunglasses, mittens, flip flops, boots, winter hat and a visor. Ask your child to rummage through the clothing bucket and find something that would be used in the winter.

Alameda enjoys a tight knit hockey community By Kelly Running Hockey, the great Canadian past-time, is enjoyed by many youth across the country and for young people in Alameda the love for hockey is evident. With an atom team and a bantam team, the town happily supports its youth. The Alameda Minor Hockey Association hosted a Minor Hockey Day on Sunday, Nov. 23, with many people attending. President of the Alameda Minor Hockey Association, Rob Klassen, explained, “This is just a day for the kids and the community to come out and enjoy a sport that’s been around forever.” Alameda’s atom team hosted Kipling in a close battle, which saw the host team lose by one point. The final score being nine to eight. The second game between the bantam team and Milestone came after a series of skills tests, which saw competitors attempt the hardest shot, accuracy, and skating abilities. This game was a hard fought battle which the Alameda Aces were able to take with a final score of 9 to 6. Having the two teams is important to many because it means their youth are given the opportunity to play at home. Klassen said: “It means a lot to the community and it means our kids don’t have to go to the next town over to play. It’s a big deal for the town and the rink.” “We only have the two teams but they are well supported and together there are 29 kids involved.” All of this, Klassen, said wouldn’t be possible without such great community support. “All of the work is done by volunteers, they paint the lines, work in the kitchen, and put the ice in,” Klassen stated. “The upkeep of the rink is done by volunteers of the community and we wouldn’t be able to operate without them.” The season began for Alameda on Nov. 1st when the league they are involved in started. The kids get between one and three games a week depending on rink availability and scheduling.

The Manor Sr. Boys continue their success in volleyball this year earning second places at Boys 2A Regionals held in Norquay on Saturday, Nov. 22. They earned first in their pool before winning the crossover match against Norquay in order to meet Kahkewistahaw in the final. The final was a battle, going to three sets, with Kahkewistahaw narrowly defeating Manor. Both Manor and Kahkewistahaw will move on to provincials being held in Edam this weekend. The Arcola Sr. Boys were unable to move on after coming in fourth in their Regionals last weekend in Central Butte.

Carlyle Cougars Pee Wee update Carrie Pelletier Sports Contributor The Pee Wee Cougars headed to Kipling for a game last Friday night. The Cougars came on strong early and were up 3-1 by the end of the first

period. Kipling rose to the challenge and completely dominated the second period, scoring 4 unanswered goals. The Cougars found themselves down 7 -4 with under four minutes to play in the third period. Cade Bendtsen scored two goals

Novice Cougars playing tons of hockey Carissa Faber Sports Contributor November 19, Kirk’s Novice Cougars hosted Redvers in a rare Wednesday evening game. It was another close game that saw Redvers come out on top 12-11. Saturday morning the

team traveled to Carnduff. This was a more lop-sided affair with the Cougars on the winning end with the score 15-5. Sunday, Arcola came to town. Another one sided game ensued and the Cougars came out on top 12-3. Good job boys!

Arcola Jr. Boys win Junior A playoffs

and had them to within one in the last minute of play. With goaltender Zane Winters on the bench for the extra attacker, Tyler Colpitts played the hero; scoring with 11 seconds left on the clock to end the game in a 7 all draw. Carlyle brought their A game to Wawota on Sunday to face the Flyers. Wawota came out hard but Carlyle was able to control the flow of the game, with crisp passing and text book use of the boards. All

three defensive pairings for the Cougars were excellent, limiting Wawota’s chances. Late in the third, the Flyers put the pressure on but goal tender Missy Biermann’s glove was on display, flashing leather numerous times to earn her first shutout of the season. Despite the one sided score, this was an exciting game to watch! Next up for the Cougars are back to back games in Oxbow verses the Huskies this weekend.

Sports Wrap-up with Bruce Penton – Taylor a surprise winner on PGA tour Finally, in the Nick of time, a Canadian has broken through on the PGA Tour. Everybody thought that breakthrough would come from Weyburn’s Graham DeLaet, who has been on the cusp of winning four or five times, but continually falling short. “He’s the next great golfer from Canada,” the experts said. Suddenly, though, Nick Taylor of Abbotsford beat DeLaet and other Canadians to the winner’s finish line on the PGA Tour, winning the Sanderson Farms Championship Nov. 9 in only his seventh Tour start as a pro. The Taylor victory came when most of the golf world’s biggest names were either competing in China (Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler, etc.), on self-imposed leave —wink, wink! — (Dustin Johnson), on the injured list (Tiger Woods) or preparing for an important lawsuit (Rory McIlroy). Still, the ‘opposite field’ Sanderson Farms Championship had a definite PGA Tour aura to it, with Taylor beating the likes of veterans David Toms, Boo Weekley, Lucas Glover, John Rollins and a host of hungry youngsters similar to himself who all live up to the Tour’s slogan, “These guys are good.” To Canadian golf watchers, a Nick Taylor victory was not as surprising as it might have been to Golf Channel announcers, who seemed to be scrambling for information about the 26-year-old as he was storming from four shots behind in the final round to shoot 66 and beat Weekley and Jason Bohn by two strokes. Taylor won the Canadian junior in 2006, captured a Canadian men’s Amateur title at Saskatoon Riverside in 2007 and had a stellar college golf career at the University of Washington. Five years ago, he was the No. 1 ranked amateur in the world. He overcame a 2014 mid-season Web.com tour slump (missing six cuts in a row) to shoot 63 in the final round of the Web.com Tour Championship at TPC Sawgrass to earn his card. His Sanderson Farms victory is good for a two-year exemption, automatic entries into the PGA, Players Championship and Tournament of Champions at Kapalua, and the stress-relieving ability to pick and choose where he wants to play. So now Canadian golf fans have another of their own to root for. With Taylor, DeLaet, David Hearn, Adam

Hadwin and Roger Sloan, the Maple Leaf is making its mark on the Tour with a talented new breed. “I am so privileged to be the first,” Taylor told the National Post, “but I won’t be the last.” • Comedy writer Jim Barach: “A report says that San Antonio is ready to make a pitch to have the Oakland Raiders move there. What better place for the Raiders than San Antonio where the oddsmakers still have them rated slight favourites over the results of the Alamo.” • Columnist John Hawkins on golfchannel.com, on the recent HSBC championship in China: “(PGA Tour headquarters) must be delighted that 40 of the world’s top 50 players made it to Sheshan International, a total which doesn’t include Patrick Reed’s etiquette coach.” • Randy Turner of the Winnipeg Free Press, on Twitter: “The result of a specialist’s examination of Connor McDavid’s hands has been concluded: They are, in fact, made of gold.” • Bud Shaw of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, on Steelers safety Mike Mitchell launching himself over the line into the Jets’ victory formation: “In Mitchell’s defense, who knew the Jets had a victory formation?” • Comedy writer Alan Ray, on Justin Bieber visiting a Steeler players’ faith meeting: “He wanted to worship with the New York Giants, but they don’t have a prayer.” • Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “Gene Keady, former Purdue men’s basketball coach, confessed that for years he paid a hairdresser $600 per week to dye his hair, add extensions and whip the whole mess into a comb-over. That’s like Quasimodo getting silicone injections to plump his hump.” • Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “Major League Baseball and Kiss are teaming up on some new T-shirts. Which would be a very relevant pairing in 1978.” • Dickson again: “According to a study, apologizing is good for your health. If true, this means the CEO of Target and the general manager of the Chicago Cubs should both live to 180.” • RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “CBC Manitoba says a polar vortex continues to chill the Prairies. It all started during Selkirk’s Grand Slam curling event with Cathy O on the same sheet as Jennifer Jones.”

Classifieds Work! Call 453-2525

• Currie again: “New Cubs manager Joe Maddon says they’re going to make the playoffs next year. It could happen. Oh, and Washington Caps coach Barry Trotz says Alex Ovechkin is going to start back-checking.” • Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “Outfielder Michael Cuddyer has left Colorado to sign with the NY Mets. What Cuddyer is about to find out… it’s not like the Mets are really better than the Rockies. But in New York, when a team sucks, people actually notice.” Care to comment?

Strategic plan for Carlyle 2015 unveiled By Kelly Running The Town of Carlyle held a regular meeting of council on Wednesday, Nov. 19. Strategic Plan 2015 Members of Town Council accepted the Strategic Plan 2014-2015 based on a survey. This plan is considered ambitious but has set out goals and objectives Carlyle hopes to achieve in the new year. There are six main subjects involved in the Strategic Plan. The first is focused on Planning and Development Services where the objective is to provide mobile homes for individuals with the strategic goal of providing “a variety of housing types, economic activities, and adequate community infrastructure to accommodate a target population of 2,500.” The next topic is also within the Planning and Development Services program area. The town hopes to develop both Stage 3 and Stage 5 of the Residential Subdivision moving forward to assist in obtaining the strategic goal mentioned above.

R e g a r d i n g Transportation Services the town is looking to purchase necessary equipment for the Public Works staff with the goal of becoming “efficient and responsible [of] growth management of land, infrastructure, and other community resources.” Also within the Transportation Services area the goal of creating “efficient and responsible growth management of land, infrastructure, and other community resources” is being sought through developing George Ave. Additionally the town will reinforce this goal through rebuilding Stockton Ave. W. and Mountain Ave. W., while also addressing the dust issue on 8th St. W. Within the Environmental and Public Health Services the town hopes to establish a day care facility presenting “a community that sustainably provides recreational, cultural,

health, and educational facilities for the region.” Dedications Council is currently working on designing a sign for the airport, which was dedicated to Ted Brady. They are looking at different options revolving around this. Members of Town Council agreed that something should be done to honour Roy Olmstead. One idea included renaming the public works building as the Roy Olmstead Public Works building. This seemed fitting to council as Olmstead worked for the town for many years before retiring and becoming a councillor. Transit Van Town Council decided to park the transit van for the time being. They only have one individual who has been utilizing it and are having a difficult time getting drivers for the position. In a survey conducted awhile ago many seniors indicated they want

the service, however, the majority of them still drive themselves. Pedestrian safety Discussion sparked surrounding Main St.; council debated whether or not it is necessary to place a pedestrian crossing light at the intersection of Main St. and Souris Ave. Fire Board The Fire Board reported they are still discussing the topic of either a new building or an addition for the Carlyle Fire Department. Drainage Concerns surrounding drainage on a small portion of land within McRae Bay will be addressed. The town maintains a drainage area between two homes which has previously been filled with grass and then rocks. Both of these solutions did not work to the best interest of the town or the owners of the houses on either side of it, thus, the town has decided to cement the area to hopefully resolve the issue.

Are you ready for winter? DID YOU KNOW? • Get engine performance or starting issues looked at immediately; hard starts, rough idling, stalling diminished power should be checked by a reputable repair center. Such conditions if allowed to persist will damage other components and may make repairs more costly. • This time of year serves as a reminder that a drop in tire inflation pressure will correspond with the falling thermometer readings. Air pressure in a tire typically goes down as much as 2 pounds for every 10 degrees of temperature change. • Get the appropriate oil for your winter driving needs. The oil used should have the right viscosity, or thickness, for your vehicle at this time of year. Oil tends to thicken as it gets colder, and if it’s too thick it will not lubricate your vehicles engine until friction heats it up. Check your owner’s manual for guidance about which oil to use in different climates and temperatures. • Your vehicles battery, or in some cases batteries are taxed heavily by all the options and features that are routinely found in today’s vehicles. When you add cold temperatures and short trips to the challenges your battery already contends with, trouble is not be far behind unless it is in good condition and is allowed time to properly re-charge between trips. Batteries generally last approx. 5-7 yrs. and gradually get weak. The only accurate way to detect a weak battery is with professional equipment. However if your notice that it no longer cranks your vehicle over a fast as it once did, or for as long, it is then recommended that you have it load tested. • Belts and Hoses should be inspected for proper tension and deterioration. Belts can make squealing noises when they start to slip which maybe an indication that they require replacement. • Examine your belts and hoses. When you have that full service done on your vehicle, make sure the belts and hoses get checked for wear and tear — even if you’re driving a modern car. Cold weather can do a number on belts and hoses, so they deserve attention. • When’s the last time you replaced your windshield wiper blades? They usually work effectively for about one year, so be sure to invest in some new ones if you’re due. Here’s another important step to take before you find yourself struggling to see in a blinding storm: Fill up your windshield washer reservoir with winter grade windshield washer fluid. Also check to see that your heater and defroster are working properly so you can keep the windshield nice and clear. • Think about switching to winter/ snow tires. Then you might want to improve traction even more by investing in winter tires and using them over the next few months instead of your usual all-season tires which were not designed for ice & -40’ temperatures. Tires should be replaced as a set to maximize traction in all conditions. You don’t want your tires ever letting go of the road. • Avoid running worn/ marginal tires in the winter. The best place to check tires is up on a hoist. If you’re going to run your all-seasons this winter, all least make sure that there is sufficient tread left, that there isn’t uneven wear and cupping; sidewalls should be checked for cuts and nicks. Make it your practice to check the air pressure especially after large temperature swings or if you notice your vehicle pulling to the side, even slightly. Don’t forget to check your spare tire and the hard ware that goes with it. • Do you have four-wheel drive? If so, it’s important to check the status of your four-wheel-drive system and be sure it’s working correctly — many drivers don’t use their 4WD in the summer months. Be sure that the system engages and disengages easily. It is especially important that vehicles with 4WD systems have 4 matching tires in order that all driving wheels have equal traction. • The level, condition and concentration of your vehicles antifreeze mixture should be checked periodically. A mixture of 50% antifreeze (coolant) and 50% water inside your radiator is typical for our part of the world. This will prevent the mixture from freezing even on the coldest nights. • Exhaust leaks can be deadly. If your exhaust system has started to sound out of the ordinary or perhaps you’ve rubbed the bottom of your vehicle going over a hazard, an inspection of the exhaust system is highly recommended.

Are you ready for winter?

CAA Safe Driving Tips for Winter Road Conditions To help drivers stay safe during the winter months, here are some important driving tips from CAA Saskatchewan: • Check weather and travel conditions before heading out. If conditions are poor, delay travel if possible. • Consider installing winter tires on your vehicle. Rubber in all-season tires start to lose elasticity and harden at around seven degrees Celsius, significantly reducing the tire’s ability to grip the road. • When the temperature falls below -15 degrees Celsius, it’s important to plug in your vehicle. Check to make sure the block heater and cord are in good working condition. • Test your vehicle’s battery. Colder temperatures can weaken the battery and cause it to fail. • Adjust your speed to weather and road conditions and make sure you have a full tank of fuel. • Slow down at intersections and pay special attention in school zones. • Leave a safe distance between vehicles, use turn signals well in advance and allow extra room to stop. • Plan your route in advance. Allow extra time for travel and let others know your route and estimated time of arrival. • Carry a fully charged phone and a phone car charger should you need to call for help. CAA Roadside Assistance is available 24/7 for Members by calling 1-800-CAA-Help (1-800-222-4357). • Wear warm clothing and footwear, regardless of the distance being travelled. • Pack an emergency vehicle kit that contains non-perishable food, water, blankets, extra clothing, flashlight, candle and lighter or matches and tin can, first aid supplies, booster cables, and a shovel. Visit your local CAA Saskatchewan office or shop online for a deluxe or basic roadside emergency kit. • Take your vehicle to a CAA Car Care Centre or CAA approved auto repair (AARS) facility to have it maintained for winter. If you become stuck or stranded: • Stay with your vehicle for temporary shelter. It makes it easier for rescuers to find you. • Tie a brightly-coloured cloth to the antennae or place in a rolled up window to signal distress. • Run the engine just long enough to remove the chill. To prevent carbon monoxide from leaking into the vehicle, ensure the exhaust pipe is not clogged with snow or ice and check the exhaust system for leaks. • For fresh air, open a window slightly on the side away from the wind. • Occasional deep breathing and moving arms and legs rapidly will increase body circulation. • Don’t over exert yourself by trying to push a vehicle or dig it out of snow.

Redvers SARCAN hosts grand re-opening after renovations

Staff photo by Kelly Running

From left to right: Marilynn Garnier, Kevin Acton, Gilbert Couture, Mike Reville, and Marsha Goforth celebrate as they cut the blue ribbon marking the grand reopening of the Redvers SARCAN location.

By Kelly Running The SARCAN depot in Redvers recently celebrated renovations with a grand re-opening on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 10 a.m. Present for the ribbon cutting was Kevin Acton, the SARCAN Director of Operations: “The depot renovation is a very welcome change for the staff and customers at SARCAN and for the town of Redvers. As Redvers grows and develops, it is important for SARCAN to accommodate our customers.” Acton went on to thank Marsha Goforth, the current CEO of the Redvers Activity Centre, Marilynn Garnier, recently retired CEO of the Redvers Activity Centre, and Mike Reville, the depot supervisor in Redvers. “We have been working with Marilynn for over 20 years, and with her departure it is the end of an era,” Acton explained. “We are looking forward to continuing to work in partnership under Marsha [Goforth]’s leadership...” “I’d also like to acknowledge Mike Reville... who has done a fantastic job of seeing through the depot renovations.” He also thanked the many individuals who work in SARCAN as well as acknowledged the importance of the depot to Redvers and the surrounding area. The SARCAN in Redvers has been in operation for the last 26 years, with the original opening in July of 1988. Acton explained that “since then, the depot has recycled 59,274,934 beverage containers... The depot’s busiest year since 1988 was actually this past year, with 3,375,122 containers recycled.” On a provincial scale this is exemplary as all SARCANs brought in a total of 407 million beverage containers for the 2013-14 year. “This was the first time that we broke the 400 million container mark,” Acton exclaimed. “Our depot employees, like Mike here in Redvers, work so hard to continue to make the SARCAN system the best in North America.” Present for the ribbon cutting included Goforth, Garnier, Reville, Acton, and the Deputy Mayor of Redvers, Gilbert Couture. Renovations of the building has meant there is more space with a staircase being moved, new lighting, a new trailer loading dock, renovated offices and lunch room, as well as a new floor. This has resulted in a brand new look for the building. Following the ribbon cutting, Reville went on to say, “I’m excited about the renovations and we have a really good crew here. Everyone knows their jobs and they work hard.” The Redvers SARCAN depot is open from Tuesday to Saturday throughout the week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

OBSERVER AGRICULTURE Re-addressing concerns of grain transportation By Calvin Daniels So the last two weeks I wrote about the retreaded ideas for addressing the concerns of grain transportation at the recent Grain Millers Harvest Showdown. I had planned to leave it at that, until someone asked what I would offer up to help the situation. It was a legitimate question since a columnist should not be all negative on an issue. And it was a question which left me scratching my head for a solution. Grain transportation issues may actually get worse before they get better. There are reasons for that long term which few are even discussing, at least publicly. We have all heard of the infrastructure crisis creeping up on cities and towns, where sewer and water lines, sidewalks, asphalt, arenas and other structures are passing the point anyone expected them to last. In time they will fail, and frankly urban

municipalities cannot afford to replace them. It is the same situation in rural municipalities where many culverts and bridges are ancient, and roads are in need of upgrades. With the loss of rail branchlines we rely more on the road system to move grain to rail spots, and use ever larger truck and trailer units to do that, which puts added pressure on roads. It is not a recipe for long term transportation stability. And there is need for better rail service running south to meet markets in the United States, but the two rail companies in this country are not making that investment for grain, since they know they are the only viable service for moving the product, whether that is in a timely fashion, or at some date down the road. So how do things improve? Part will be legislation, which does not have to mean forced tonnages, but can ensure producer car

access, and timely movement from shortlines. It will mean some jurisdictional cooperation on small things, as Kevin Gibson with CJ Knoll Transport in Regina said at Harvest Showdown where he noted from the trucking perspective standardized regulation would certainly help. As it stands the gross vehicle weights allowed on various types of highway vary across the three Prairie Provinces, and provincial governments leave it to rural municipalities to establish road bans associated with spring thaw, resulting in even more variance of what a truck may haul. It would seem a manageable effort to have the Prairies provinces streamline weight limits to ease cross-border hauls. That might seem a small step, but it is a step, and given the long-standing issues, the best hope we have is to make small improvements that overtime create a bigger impact.

Redvers Wranglers host Dstrict #41 4-H Rally Submitted by Heidi Magotiaux On Saturday, Nov. 22nd the Redvers Wranglers hosted the District #41 4-H rally. Kennedy Magotiaux and Layne Kyle started the evening off by leading everyone in the 4-H pledge and then the 4-H grace before the potluck supper. After supper Karmen Kyle read out the list of record book winners. Marge Garnier judged this year and was very impressed by the hard work put into the books. One comment she did make was “you should write down who is in your pictures - if you keep your books for years to come you would be surprised at how much you forget.”

Record book winners were as follows: Seniors: 1st - Holli Spittal - Glen Ewen Trailblazers 2nd - Ryanne North - Carnduff Beef 3rd - Haley Brooks - Alameda Beef Intermediates: 1st Haley Brownell - Alida Beef 2nd - Kennedy Magotiaux - Redvers Wranglers 3rd - Letisha Spittal - Glen Ewen Trailblazers Juniors: 1st - Layne Kyle - Redvers Wranglers 2nd - Kamryn Gilliland - Carievale Beef 3rd - Madeline Christensen - Alameda Beef Cloverbuds: 1st Piper Bigney - Glen Ewen Trailblazers

2nd - Tiffany Hull Glen Ewen trailblazers 3rd - Reese Kyle - Redvers Wranglers The next part of the evening consisted of fun and games! And this is where things started to get crazy!! We started off playing Honey if you love me... Some people can’t keep a straight face if their life depended on it! Next we had a game of Giant Twister followed by a Jelly Bean Relay. Some found themselves in an awkward predicament when we did the Ball Roll but redeemed themselves in the Tic Tac Shake. The next game involved whip cream... and a lot of it! Parents and leaders even got involved in this one. We wrapped up the games with a toilet paper fashion show… 4-H kids truly are a creative bunch. Last but not least, we pulled tickets for the Chinese auction prizes and some really cleaned up! And then there were some who won by default but we won’t name any names… right Stephen. The Wranglers would like to thank everyone who was able to take time out of their busy schedules and come to the rally - we hope you all had as much fun as we did!

Obituaries Vera Ellaschuk Vera Jean (Rogers) Ellaschuk) born September 25, 1918 died November 9, 2014, the youngest of Samuel and Maggie Rogers in Southeast Saskatchewan. She joined Canadian Air Force in 1941. Stationed as a corporal in Washington DC, USA, she translated top secret documents between Pentagon and Canadian military. Then as Secretary for New Zealand Ambassador, Washington helped nieces and nephews and others all her life. Vera loved horses - gave up smoking for one. After the war she attended UBC, met and married Walter Ellaschuk, they had two boys; Lorne and Kent. They lived in B.C., although Lorne received his Masters degree in Quebec. Lorne lives in Ontario with partner, Alain, and Kent lived in Manitoba with partner, Donna. This last 10 years, Vera lived near her younger son, Kent, in Victoria. He said, “She was independent through all her life.... We played crib, every week (and joined family every Sunday),” he reported she won seven of the last nine games, skunking him once! Predeceased by all her family members she leaves to mourn – children and family; Lorne (Alain); Kent (Donna). Grandchild: Asia (Ed); Great-grandchildren: Sealey (seven) and Pearl (16 months); and Grandchild: Carlyn. Relatives, family and friends remembering Vera (Rogers) Ellaschuk with Kent’s words, “We are heartbroken.”

Emile Serge Frécon Emile Serge Fréçon 1962 – 2014 Emile Fréçon of Redvers, bornEmile Fréçon of Redvers, born June 12, 1962, passed away on November 10, 2014 at Redvers Haven with family at his side. Left to cherish his memory are his mother Clarisse Fréçon and his siblings, David (Bonne) of Redvers, Lucille (Louis) Gervais of Alida, Irene (Don) McLeod of Weyburn, Fabien (Aggie) of Redvers, Brian (Wendy) of Redvers and Odette (Russ) Annetts of Sylvan Lake, Alberta, along with numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. Emile went to Redvers Activity Centre. He worked in the Redvers Moccasin Factory, at Sarcan and the greenhouse at the Activity Centre. He loved to go to the “Snooze” Room where there were a lot of lights and relaxing music. Emile enjoyed the simple things in life, such as riding his bike, a cup of coffee, popcorn and listening to music. He also enjoyed swimming, bowling, rodeos, football games, parties, dancing and Camp Easter Seal. Emile would never refuse a ride in the truck or on the combine, and especially enjoyed hauling bales or cattle. Emile had collections of pictures, medals from track and field, musical stuffed toys and musical books and games. His favourite season was Christmas for twinkling lights and Christmas songs. Emile will be remembered for his infectious giggle and his good-bye wave. The Funeral Mass was celebrated on Saturday, November 15, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. at Our Lady of Fatima R.C. Church, Redvers, by Rev. Anthony Padayatty. Interment followed at the Redvers Town Cemetery. Those wishing to make donations in Emile’s memory may do so directly to the Redvers Activity Centre Foundation Inc., PO Box 418, Redvers, SK, S0C 2H0, the Redvers & District Community Health Foundation Inc., PO Box 766, Redvers, SK, S0C 2H0 or a charity of choice. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Hall Funeral Services, Redvers. Thank You Emile’s family wishes to extend their thanks to the staff of the Redvers Haven, to all his home care nurses, Dr. Van Der Werwe, and the CWL for the lunch. Thanks to all for the many phone calls, cards, food, flowers, gifts, visits, prayers, masses, hugs and kind words of sympathy through our difficult time. God bless all of you for caring.

Sunday morning gave some drivers a chance of ice on the roadsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;yes, it never seems to fail---guess winter is here to stay. First of all I would like to send a bouquet to all the dedicated folks that took part in the plays at Corning, Windthorst and the one coming to Kipling and Carlyle. I was talking to a young mother the other day about Christmas and her reply was I am making quilts for my three children this year, yes, I know there are many sewing machines going as well as crochet hooks, knitting needles, art works, baking, etc. This is a very busy time of the season along with hockey and curling. Everyone seems to enjoy the season, be kind to yourself. Friday when I was in Kipling I met a few of the ladies from Reginaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the pink scarf onesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;they were enjoying their bus tripâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;had a good meal in Montmartre, did some shopping in Kipling and commented how polite the clerks were and how everyone they talked to was very pleasant and made them feel at home more so than shopping in Regina. They both want to return next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;what a great get away from city life. Congratulations to Riley Potter for winning the District 42 Toastmasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Humorous Speech competition in Calgary, AB on Nov. 9. District 42 comprises of all of Saskatchewan and Alberta. In order to compete in Calgary, Riley first won at the club, area and division

Janice and Norma laid a wreath at the Remembrance Day Service in memory of their uncle Tom Wilson who died in World War 11. Don and Brenda Horvath have returned home after spending a week in Nashville and Memphis. Don was attending a mini convention in Nashville where they also visited the Grand Olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Opry,and toured the Jack Daniels Brewery before they drove to Memphis. Here they visited Graceland, Beale Street and the Gibson Guitar Factory. The La Rose Family held their traditional early Christmas celebration recently. They gathered at the Mother Theresa Centre at Kenosee Lake where they enjoyed outdoor activities, indoor games and their annual tea party. Those attending the event were Allan and Gail La Rose of Corning, Delbert and Margaret La Rose, Ralph and Marion Armstrong, their daughter Karen Kirby and her children, Kala, Reece and Jannelle, Doreen and Ray Pryce, Trevor and Christa Pryce, Sydney and Ethan, Daryl and Neena Johnson, Hanna and Austin, John and Joan Wilson, Glenn and Katie Wilson and Dennis Wilson and Gavin.

Rural care homes struggling, too By Murray Mandryk According to Health Minister Dustin Duncan and others in his Saskatchewan Party government, there is a world of difference between the isolated problems of city nursing homes and those in rural nursing homes. Truly, there are big problems in the cities. Take Reginaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Santa Maria Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Centre where the death of former 74-year-old resident Margaret Warholm last year has now been referred by Duncan to the Provincial Ombudsman for investiga-

tion. The malnourished woman weighed a mere 89 pounds when she died, her back covered by a giant bedsore. And while the Warholm case was extreme, it does not appear to be an isolated problem at Santa Maria. Requesting that their names not be used or their faces shows for fear of being fired, three care workers came to the legislature last week and said short staff is a rampant problem. The three say staffing shortages have meant residents often only get baths

once every two weeks and sometimes having to wear bandages soiled in urine and feces because there is no LPN available to change them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been overworked I feel,â&#x20AC;? said one of the workers who asked to be called Sue, adding the staffing shortage has only intensified. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We never, ever worked short. Lately itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just an everyday occurrence.â&#x20AC;? Another worker, who asked to be called Anna also spoke of inadequate food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The food is like leftover food on a daily basis,â&#x20AC;?

she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What they have for breakfast, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have it for lunch. And when they have something for lunch, the left over is for supper. Residents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat that, there is lots of waste.â&#x20AC;? Other nursing homes in Regina and Saskatoon have reported similar incidents _ notwithstanding Premier Brad Wallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insistence that homes like Santa Maria have received an 81-percent funding increase since the Sask. Party came to office in 2007. And Sask. Party MLAs bristle at suggestions from the NDP that this has be-

come the norm in nursing homes through the province. Even the measured, seldom partisan Duncan insists that what we saw in the Warholm case is isolated and that rural seniors in particular have received loving care from their communities. To a large extent, this is likely true. Smaller nursing homes in smaller communities can be more homey. Undoubtedly, staff who have known these people all their lives do go the extra mile. But that does mean that

there are not problems in rural settings as well. In fact, the report released a year ago from the health regionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chief executive officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tour suggested there were plenty of concerns heard from family, patients and staff. For example, at the Diamond Lodge in the Heartland district, family members hold the CEO the food was cold and â&#x20AC;&#x153;not worth a damn.â&#x20AC;? In Kyle, complaints were of staffing shortages and only getting the basics done. Staffing shortages were a problem virtually everywhere. At Saskatchewan Park Lodge in the Kelsey Trail district, family members told the CEO that residents are hesitant to ask for anything because staff is so busy. And recently at the legislature, the NDP raised the case of 93-year-old Ituna resident Emily Krushelnicki. Despite having congestive heart failure and a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation she be admitted to Pioneer Lodge, she could only get a â&#x20AC;&#x153;transition bed.â&#x20AC;? Krushelnicki was moved to Foam Lake and her transitional bed in Ituna sat empty for three weeks, indicating bureaucratic problems are not just reserved for the cities. Incidents like Margaret Warholm worthy of investigation are isolated. And perhaps the source of such problems like staffing shortages are more intense in the cities. But nursing home issues, particularly those of staffing shortages, are every where in Saskatchewan. It would be wrong for Duncan and Wall to claim otherwise.
