Twelve teams attended the fourth annual Sledge Hockey Tournament hosted in Wa-

wota on Friday, March 31 – Sunday, April 2.

People of all ages enjoyed the opportunity to try out sledge hockey in Wawota. Teams were made up of at least four people and each game

saw action last for two, 15 minute straight time periods.

The Wawota Sledge Hockey tournament was based on Melanie Brimner’s dream of watching her boys play hockey

together again after her son Blake Lamontagne was injured in a car accident. Now the tournament brings awareness and raises funds to be donated. This year donations are going to the

Wawota Community Forum, Stars Air Ambulance, and Disabled Waterski Team Canada – of which Blake is a member of and will be competing in Australia this spring.

Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge: Two Years of Everyday Engagement Lynne Bell CARLYLE OBSERVER observer@sasktel.net

Carlyle’s Bertha Isleifson had a dream- to form a group of dedicated volunteers who would work to enhance the everyday lives of the residents of Moose Mountain Lodge (MML).

As the founder of the volunteer group, Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge, Isleifson and her fellow “Friends” have succeeded far beyond what they had envisioned just over two years ago.

“I never imagined it would go as well as it has gone,” she says. “The

support and interest has been incredible.”

Since it was founded in late 2014, the Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge have made improvements in almost all aspects of the resident’s lives.

Inside the Lodge, a new TV-with improved programming- has been placed in the Activity Room, along with new tables. The common area has also been upgraded with new dining tables, new loveseats and new pictures on the walls and both the family room and the palliative care room have new furnishings and other

decorative improvements- all added with the intent of making the spaces more comfortable and pleasant for both the residents and their families.

And one item on Isleifson’s original wish list was granted, too: “A wall-mounted hairdryer so people confined to wheelchairs can have their hair done, too.”

“A few years ago, when I visited the nursing home in Redvers, I saw that they had a big hairdryer mounted on the wall, with a big arm,” she says. “I remember thinking that for our ladies who are in big

wheelchairs, that would be such a nice thing for them. It would make the experience of getting their hair done so much easier on them. And now we have one.”

Isleifson has worked as a licensed practical nurse in this area since 1985- mostly at Moose Mountain Lodge- and says: “We have a wonderful facility here. But there’s always room for improvement and the Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge are committed to improving the quality of life for our residents and providing things that are fun for them, because who doesn’t like to have fun?”

Bertha Isleifson’s (pictured) dream of forming a group of dedicated volunteers who would work to enhance the everyday lives of Moose Mountain Lodge residents has become a reality. And in the two years since it was founded, the Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge is a success. “I never imagined it would go as well as it has gone,” she says.

“The support and interest has been incredible.”

CFY Girls Group Wowed by WE Day Saskatchewan Lynne Bell CARLYLE OBSERVER observer@sasktel.net

Members of Cornerstone Family and Youth’s (CFY) Girls Mentoring Group were wowed by WE Day as they not only joined 15,000 of their peers at the event- held March 18 at Saskatoon’s SaskTel Centre- but also were placed in the front row- thanks to member Shayna Nicolay being named “Saskatchewan Changemaker.” Nicolay also took to the stage to accept a #Make150Count Award from the RBC Foundation.

“You can’t buy tickets to WE Day,” says CFY Coordinator, Jenn Sedor.

“You have to earn your way there, which the girls did. They’ve done a lot, but locally, their involvement with the Christmas Toy Drive- in partnership with The Bargain Shop, Southern Plains Co-op grocery store in Carlyle and the RBC Foundation-as well as putting on a Valentine’s Day bake sale at the Carlyle librarywhich helped fund a girls group like ours in Kenya- were two projects that helped to get them there.”

“We owe the (Carlyle) Homespun Craft Show Committee a huge thank you,” adds Sedor. “They sponsored the entire trip, which enabled the

girls to attend this inspirational and exciting event.”

WE Charity was founded in 1995 by children’s rights advocate Craig Kielburger.

WE Day began with the intent to “empower, educate, and above all inspire.” Since 2007, participants have raised over $45 million, which has been distributed to over 1,000 charities. To earn entry to WE Day, groups-usually a school- must pledge one local and one global “difference-making” effort to work on during the school year. Annually, WE Days take place in 14 cities throughout the world, with over 200,000 students in attendance each year.

The CFY girls were also invited to attend a WE Day pre-event at the University of Saskatchewan, says Sedor. “It was billed as ‘An Evening of Inspiration,’ she says.

“And it really was. First of all, it was exciting for the girls to be on campus. And there, they had the opportunity to hear Miss Universe Canada 2016, Siera Bearchell, who spoke about the importance of a healthy body- and especially, a healthy body image.”

“That topic really resonated with them,” adds Sedor. “Because it’s something we’re focusing on this year in the

Girls Group program.

The girls really connected with Siera. In fact, they invited her to come to Carlyle to speak.”

Sedor says that the CFY Girls’ invitations to the pre-event and WE Day’s backstage-as well as seats in the front row during the main eventwere due to member Shayna Nicolay, who was recognized for performing over 300 hours of volunteer work.

“They gave Shayna a shout-out at the ‘Evening of Inspiration,’” says Sedor. “And during WE Day itself, she was called onstage to accept her award. She was not only named a ‘Saskatchewan Changemaker,’ but she also received $150 from the RBC Foundation, as part of its #Make150Count program.”

“Because Shayna would be accepting that award onstage, we were really treated royally with all of that access,” says Sedor. “We were backstage and front row, so the girls saw a lot of impressive people and celebrities up-closepop singer Tyler Shaw, motivational speaker Spencer West, Margaret Trudeau-who did a big push for mental health awareness- and more.”

“But they know what brought them to WE Day was their efforts in

Members of the CFY Girls Mentoring group joined 15,000 fellow students at Saskatoon’s SaskTel Centre on Saturday, March 18 for Saskatchewan’s WE Day. The global event inspires young people from around the world to implement positive change- in their communities, their countries and throughout the world. Pictured backstage at WE Day 2017 are: (back row, l-r) CFY Girls Group members Sydney Flynn, Alexis Lachapelle and Emily Bouchard and (front row, l-r) Kaelie Bouchard and Shayna Nicolay.

their communities, their country and even things that they do that impact people from around the world whom they may not even know,”she says.

“It was really nice to be there and have their efforts recognized by the WE Movement. I’m really proud of them all.”

Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge: Two Years of Everyday Engagement Continued from page 2 Improvements have been made to areas on the Lodge’s grounds, by the Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge with assistance from other groups and individuals, including the Carlyle & District Lions, the Dickens Festival Committee, residents’ families and others.

The Lodge’s outdoor patio has been re-carpeted, the gazebo has

been repainted and the Carlyle & District Lions have provided picnic tables that are more accessible for use by residents. Near the entrance to the facility, Carlyle’s Dickens Festival Committee has donated a Victorian bench and the Carlyle History Book Committee has donated decorative ornaments.

“Our residents are people with disabilities of all ages,” adds Lsleifson. “And some of them are younger people. All of them really enjoy the special events here.”

Among those special events are: pie- and tart-making demonstrations by Carlyle’s Dennis Feduk, pub nights and concerts by a roster of artists which include “Elvis” Rory Allen, country recording artist Eli Barsi, Michele Amy’s fiddle troupe and Carlyle’s Happy Wanderers.

FMML members and staff have also arranged transport (for residents who are physically able) to attend productions

by Cornerstone Theatre.

“We’re always working on new things,” says Isleifson. “And we welcome new members anytime. But people can also contribute in so many other ways, too.”

“We welcome dona-

tions of any kind. Right now, we really need donations earmarked for weekend entertainment,” she says. “ For some of our residents, the weekends are pretty quiet, so we’d like to bring in some entertainment for them. Or, if anyone out there can spare some of their time and talent for an hour on a weekend, they can contact our Activity Department and we’ll make it work.”

“Something as simple as stopping in for a visit is huge,” adds Isleifson.

“We have a wonderful facility here, but there are always things that can

improve our residents’ quality of life and we’re happy to keep working to provide things that are fun for them.”

“We’ve been able to make real progress since Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge started,” she says. “We have so many people and groups that have stepped in and supported our mission.

And we’re also so thankful to our staff, because they’ve really got on board with everything the Friends have done.”

“We can’t thank all of these people enough.”

On April 9, 2017, to mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, commemorative ceremonies will be held in both our nation’s capital and in France. While not the most strategically important battle won by the Canadian Corps in the First World War, it’s certainly a defining one. In fact, if there’s a single moment in Canadian history in which our identity as an independent nation solidified, the victory at Vimy Ridge might well be it. On that fateful day in 1917, Canadian troops succeeded in securing the German-occupied ridge for the Allies after several failed attempts by the French. However, what really marks the battle as a turning point in our nation’s history is that it was the first time all four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force jointly participated in a battle. Troops from all over the country fought together.

The Battle of Vimy Ridge was fought on an Easter Monday in wind, snow and sleet, with the first assault troops advancing up the slope in side-by-side formation at 5:30 in the morning. The success of the Canadian combatants can be attributed to a number of things including meticulous planning, powerful artillery support and extensive training. However, it shouldn’t be forgotten that acts of personal bravery were also paramount.

According to war historian Tim Cook, there were “countless acts of sacrifice, as Canadians single-handedly charged machine-gun nests or forced the surrender of Germans in protective dugouts.” There were over 10,000 casualties in the battle with 3,598 fatalities.

Several years after the war was won, France allotted 107 hectares of land atop the former battleground to Canada to be used as a park and war memorial. Unveiled in 1936, the Canadian National Vimy Memorial is engraved with the names of the 11,285 Canadians who were fatally wounded in France during World War I and who have no other known marked grave. This important beacon of Canadian achievement and unity also decorates the back of our 20-dollar bill.

Pitfalls for farm bookkeeping Cora Champion, BBA, CPA, CGA Submitted - CHAMPION SOLUTIONS

Bookkeeping & Consulting Services Bookkeeping is sometimes perceived as that daunting thing that needs to be done at the end of the year to get those taxes filed and keep Revenue Canada at bay. It is easy to forget that bookkeeping has other, meaningful, purposes.

When it comes to operating a farm there are many, and often, big decisions that need to be made. For example, whether or not to replace

that old tractor that keeps breaking down. Are the cost of repairs more than it would cost to replace it? Is the farm in a position to finance a new tractor? How much revenue is lost every time that tractor breaks down during seeding or harvesting?

Bookkeeping related? Absolutely. Tracking the farm’s repairs expenses can make it easy to see how often equipment is repaired and how much it is costing the farm. So, let us presume that it is decided that a new tractor is the way to go, however, financing would be needed. In my experience, the need for up-to-date financial information often arises with a request by a financial institution when clients are in need of new financing. Keeping farming records current allows the farm to produce this information more quickly and potentially obtain financing sooner.

This leads me into my next and last point: Cash is in the bank but the farm doesn’t have money. How can this be? Well, there are loans, phone bills, and the prepaid purchases on account among other things. Bookkeeping can provide insight into how much of the cash in the bank is actually already designated for existing expenses before making important purchasing decisions.

As I said earlier, bookkeeping has other, meaningful purposes in addition to getting farms prepared for tax. These are just a few but I hope that they successfully highlight, not only the importance, but also some of the benefits, of bookkeeping. If you would like to learn more, please join me at our free seminar on Tuesday, March 21, Top 5 Farm Bookkeeping Pitfalls, at the Rendezvous Restaurant in Deloraine.

“We were surprised to receive such an old document in the mail that has so much history about our home quarter. It was an anonymous person who surrendered the Crown Patent to the Land Titles Office in Brandon.

The office then mailed us the original copy,” said Kay. Curtis bought the farm in 2001 at the age of 20.

Before that time, residents on the home quarter included John and Bea Breakey. When their house burned they sold the quarter and built a new house at the Napinka corner on Highway #3.

Following them, Gary and Vicky Bugg bought the homestead and built the current house. Then, Wes Rozak bought the homestead and lived there for a couple of years. The farm has always had cattle and the Buggs are also cattle farmers.

“We calf out close to 200 cows - mostly Angus, but some Angus Simmental cross,” added Kay. “Growing up, Curtis always had a couple of cows of his own on his Grandpa Chuck’s farm (Charles and Audrey Bugg). He slowly grew his herd with the help of his Dad and Keith Line helping him look after his cows while he was in school.”

Curtis graduated from Melita School in 1999 and attended Bottineau College on a hockey scholarship. After a year he returned home to work and farm. The opportunity presented itself to purchase a homestead and 140 acres of land. Curtis and Kay Marshall were married in 2011. Kay grew up on a cattle farm at Glenboro, MB. “We hope our children love growing up and living on the farm as much as we do. We have a fouryear-old son and a twoyear-old daughter who love to help and be a part of the farm. Farm kids get to explore and do so many things that city/town kids may not get the opportunity to do. We hope that when they grow up they still show some interest and will want to be part of the family farm,” concluded Kay. Perhaps the land - NW ¼ 6-4-25 WPM - will remain in the Bugg family for many, many years.

One thing is for sure - the Bugg family will treasure the Crown Patent document received from the Brandon Land Titles Office.

Wrestler shows his other side Ducks Unlimited Submitted

Curt Campbell’s often the guy fans love to hate in the ring. But on his land, he’s a different person. He’s a father, a farmer and a conservationist.

In a world of costume, name-calling and over-the-top physicality, Curt Campbell’s the “heel.” The wrestler fans love to hate.

And it’s a dream come true. Campbell (known

in the ring as TLC) has fantasized a career in wrestling since boyhood. “I can remember watching matches with my dad when I was just a little kid,” he says. “I was hooked.”

Over the years, he transformed from lanky teen to bulked up wrestler. While his appearance changed, his love for the ring was steadfast. “Sometimes I can’t get to sleep at night because I’m thinking about an upcoming

match,” says Campbell.

Despite being a wellknown name in the Prairie pro wrestling community, the reality is that chokeslams and rolling stunners don’t pay the bills. And so, Monday to Friday, Campbell farms with his father on a beef operation, located north of Reston, Man. It’s a second career he loves. Like his work in the ring, it’s not without challenges. But there’s a difference. On

Valleyview Co-op Custom Application Services Curt Campbell aka TLC poses for quick picture with manager, Sylvester J. Fox before entering the ring in Minot, ND.

his farm, Campbell’s not the heel. The Prairie Pothole Region spans southern portions of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. It’s productive waterfowl habitat and prime farmland. And it’s the region this wrestler and farmer calls home.

In 2013, Campbell purchased two quarter sections (129.5 hectares) of land from his mother. It was ideal for pasture, but as Campbell learned, difficult to cultivate. “The land’s too wet to make it viable cropland most years,” he says. And so when DUC staff approached him to discuss a conservation agreement, Campbell decided to tag them in. “It’s been a really positive experience,” he says.

Through this arrangement, DUC pays Campbell to continue to farm as he always has. In wet years, he leaves wetlands on his property and doesn’t drain them.

In dry years, when the conditions are right, he has the option to cultivate them.

Nolan Cameron Named Skate Canada’s Sask Skater of the Month Skate Canada Submitted

Skate Canada - Saskatchewan and DUSO’S offer the Skater of the Month Award to recognize two skaters throughout the province and within the Skate Canada program with a $100 bursaries to each Skater of the Month. Clubs are able to nominate skaters

they feel demonstrate: working hard, helping out wherever possible, loving what they do, assisting the club in activities, helping other skaters, and are a great role model and ambassador for skating.

In February the Carlyle Skating Club coaches (Dawn Brady, Katy Soroka, Jenna Toms & Halle Doty) chose Nolan

Kennedy resident Nolan Cameron was honoured

by Skate Canada for his work as a role model and ambassador within the sport. Cameron received a $100 bursary and wishes to thank his coaches, DUSO, and Skate Saskatchewan for the award.

Cameron as their Skater of the Month and sent in their nomination.

Nolan Cameron joined the Carlyle Skating Club in 2015 with tremendous success in his personal achievements in such little time. Joining as a Preliminary skater, he is now currently working on his Sr. Bronze FreeSkate, Jr. Silver Skills, and Jr. Silver Dances. While Nolan spends 2 days on the ice in his home town Kennedy, skating independently and as a PA with the CanSkate program, he also travels to Carlyle from Ken-

nedy to be apart of our skating club 2-3 times a week for extra ice time and skating lessons. Nolan has a great attitude during lessons and is a very hard working skater. He is always willing to give everything his best effort and applies whatever corrections are given to him. He has also shown interest and and improvement in his dance partnering over the last couple of years.

Nolan has improved as a skater but also grown personally by breaking out of his comfort zone and becoming more confident in his

skating. This year he decided to register for skating competitions again after taking several years off from the competition world. He took part in the Virden Fun Skate as well as Region 1 & 6 Invitational Competition here in Carlyle, both of which he had considerable success - bringing home a medal in all his events!

For the past 5 years Nolan has been a Program Assistant with the Kennedy Skating Club.

He is always willing to help out wherever necessary and is kind and encouraging to all the

skaters. The younger kids admire and respect him very much which keeps them focused and engaged while under his supervision. He was an asset to the Kennedy Club when he assisted the CanSkaters competing at the Virden Fun Skate event this year. It was obvious to see how much the skaters enjoy working with him.

While Nolan spends much of his week on the ice, he also manages to maintain his grades in school and plays in the school band and on the volleyball team. Meanwhile he is also very helpful on the family farm and enjoys riding horses. Nolan and his family are very community minded people.

Growing up in a small town they are always found lending a helping hand to any family or organization in need.

Nolan’s skating coaches feel that he is a very deserving candidate for the award and extremely proud of his success and to be chosen as the DUSO’S Skater of the Month! Nolan’s wishes to thank his coaches, DUSO, and Skate SasNolan Cameron of Kennedy is pictured with coaches and fellow members of katchewan for selectthe Carlyle Skating Club.

Wrestler shows his other side Continued from page 7 The agreement ensures Campbell’s land will continue to provide good pasture for his cattle and habitat for breeding ducks.

DUC conservation specialist Lena Vanden Elsen calls the partnership with Campbell a “great project.”

“Not only will the agreement keep wetlands intact for breeding ducks, but it will also ensure this land continues to provide a slough of ecological goods and services, like carbon sequestration, flood mitigation and water filtration,” she says. Safeguarding habitat and pastureland is something that’s become important to Campbell. “I want my daughter to be able to experience wildlife and nature at her doorstop.

mercial use,” says Campbell, who became a father last year.

In the wrestling ring, Campbell’s behaviour is brash and over-the-top. But on the land, he’s a fan favourite for all the right reasons.

“He’s definitely an entertainer. And one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet,” says Vanden Elsen.

This wrestler says the decision to partner with DUC was one of the easiest moves he’s ever made. “It’s important to me to set an example for my children to respect and appreciate wildlife.”

It’s Road Trip Season! Safe Driving Tips for the Spring Break from CAA It’s spring time on the prairies and that means road trips for many Saskatchewan motorists.

CAA Saskatchewan, as a dedicated advocate for motorists and travellers, has some safe driving tips. “Make sure your vehicle is road worthy. Check the tires, seat belts, and that everything under the hood has been regularly maintained. Remember to obey the posted speed limits and slow to 60

km/h on Saskatchewan highways when passing working tow truck operators,” said Christine Niemczyk, Director of Communications, CAA Saskatchewan.

Here are a few more safe driving tips to consider: - Before you travel, check weather and road conditions, to and from your destination.

- Travel with a full tank of fuel and properly inflated tires (includ-

ing the spare). Read the owner’ manual.

- Check your vehicle’s belts and hoses. Also check the brakes, fluid levels and battery. Today’s vehicles have increased the electrical demands and batteries play an essential role in keeping everything running smoothly.

- Ensure all occupants buckle up and that children are properly secured in their car or booster seats.

On 1 July 2017, Canada will mark 150 years of Confederation, and this milestone will be commemorated in many ways. For its part, the Bank of Canada will mark this anniversary by issuing a new commemorative $10 bank note that will be broadly available by Canada Day 2017. Commemorative notes, while unique, are circulating notes that can be used for payment just like all other notes issued by the Bank. But some Canadians treat these bills like little pieces of history.

The Bank, which produces Canada’s bank notes, has issued only three commemorative notes to mark important milestones in Canada’s history.

In 1935, a $25 note was issued in honour of the Silver Jubilee of King George V. In 2015, a variation of the $20 note recognized the historic reign of Queen Elizabeth II. And in

1967, a special $1 note celebrated Canada’s centennial. Many will remember the events that marked this important milestone for our young country. Perhaps you, or someone you know, have held on to a 1967 $1 bill.

Anniversary celebrations are now ramping up again! The design of the special Canada 150 polymer note will be unveiled soon. In deciding what images to include on it, the Bank turned to Canadians for help.

For the first time ever, the design process began with an invitation to all Canadians to propose ideas. This open call for suggestions, followed by a nationally representative survey, asked Canadians to suggest themes and subjects to represent Canada on a note celebrating its 150th birthday. A subsequent survey then asked Canadians to rank these themes in order of preference. Focus group

testing also took place to gather impressions on the designs.

The suggestions that the Bank received through these processes inspired the bank note’s content and design. And now the commemorative note carefully incorporates many Canadians’ ideas that best represent the 150th anniversary of Confederation.

Details about the design, security features, the number of commemorative $10 notes that will circulate and how to obtain them will be announced soon. In the meantime, think about what makes you proud to be Canadian as the 150th celebrations get under way.

Visit www.bankofcanada.ca/banknotes to learn more about bank notes and follow the Bank on Twitter (@ bankofcanada) for the latest news on the Canada 150 commemorative bank note.
