Prairie historian Adrian Paton hosted a unique commemoration at his Arcola-area farm on Saturday July 30, as over 100 family members and friends gathered for a ‘Legacy of the Land’ ceremony. Paton and his late wife, Pat purchased the land in 1959 and there, they farmed and raised their family of four - sons Rus, Brad and Kevin, and daughter, Val. The “tribute to the land and its people” took place on Hawk Hill, which is located on the Paton farm, and although Paton unveiled a plaque which marked his family’s life on the farm, he also paid tribute to all of the land’s past inhabitants during a speech. “The spot on earth that I call ‘Hawk Hill’ has been around since the beginning,” says Paton. “Some geologists believe that Precambrian rock was formed at least 1.8 to 2.5 billion years before the present, a span of time that few of us humans can comprehend.” “Archeologists now believe that man made an appearance here about 20,000 years ago. In this area, they evolved into what are called First Nations people. Their reign lasted a few thousand years. I farmed this land for over 50 years and have found ample evidence of their occupation...” “Then other people arrived, the Europeans, who molded things to suit their culture,” he adds. “The land had to be laid out in such a way that ownership could be designated. By this time, a body called the Canadian government was in charge. They sent out people called surveyors to do this job. Around 1881, they
completed this and the land was given the title of the North West Quarter of Section 17, Township 7, Range 4, West of the second meridian.” “The (Canadian Pacific Railway) put the land up for sale and an American entrepreneur homesteader Charles Watkins bought the land on speculation.” Paton states that Watkins, his wife Emily, and their three children left their home in Nebraska in the spring of 1901 “in true pioneer fashion,” adding that three weeks after leaving Nebraska, they arrived in Arcola, District of Assiniboia, N.W.T., in June, 1901. Watkins sold the land in 1909 to William Elwood, who farmed the land “under the fashion of the British system” with his two sons. After William’s death in 1930, his sons Harrison and Wilfred (Cap) farmed there until 1959, when they sold the farm to the Patons. “For the next 50 or more years, I farmed this land,” says Paton. “This hill intrigued me in many ways and over the years, I began to develop a relationship with the land and nature.” Paton says the name “Hawk Hill” was the direct result of his personal experience on the land. “One constant that made an impression on me was that whenever I worked near the hill, there was at least one pair of hawks that patrolled a large area.” “One evening at just about dusk, as I was about to leave the field, a lightcoloured hawk landed on top of the hill,” he adds. “When I returned the next morning, I found the hawk dead on the hill. On close examination, I concluded that he was very old as he had almost no meat on his bones and his light colour I think, was due to age.” “I buried him on top of the hill,” says Paton. “I

The pair are standing in front of a plaque which was unveiled at the commemoration, which reads: “Legacy of the Land, Hawk Hill 17-7-4 W 2, 1959 Adrian and Patricia (Pat) Paton, Rus, Brad, Kevin and Val.” Photo|Lynne Bell hope his soul soars aloft and that his descendants continue to patrol the skies above the hill into eternity.” As a steward of the land, Paton worked hard to balance both the agricultural and ecological aspects of what he sees as “a great responsibility.” “In the 1980s, I decided I would try to do something for the land, as it was being damaged by wind erosion,” he explains. “With the help of conservation agencies, botanist Nora Stewart, and others, I undertook to establish
native vegetation onto the hill.” “We seeded over 80 species. Many have survived and flourished. We started with over two test plots and later seeded 20 acres and decided to erect a stone cairn, somewhat similar to stone monuments erected on hilltops by early civilizations all over the world.” The cairn, which is now over 10-feet high, was made even larger as family and friends in attendance added stones they had brought, many of them painted or bearing
messages. That day, Val (Paton) Guillemin said of her father: “This hill and this ceremony represents my father’s love for nature and history, a respect for the land; an understanding of the earliest inhabitants - both Indigenous peoples and settlers - and the farming community and a love of friends and family.” Paton said: “I leave all of this as a tribute to the land and its people. I hope future generations will treat it with the love and respect it deserves.”

After 125 years, Carroll loses community post office Darci Semeschuk SOURIS PLAINDEALER spdealer@mts.net
After 125 years of being the place where neighbours congregated to hear the latest news, the Carroll Post Of�ice is no more. The approximately 47 area residents will now access their mail at a group mailbox, often called a super mailbox. “We tried everything we could to keep the of-
�ice in Carroll but despite everyone’s best attempts, a solution could not be found,” explained Canada Post local are superintendent, Paul Grier. “We always try and work with the community to �ind the best solution but in this case it just didn’t work and we were forced to go ahead and install the group mailboxes.” The community hub �irst opened in 1892 and through the years went
Western Red Winter Wheat
through various changes until it was �inally located in a personal home. Canada Post made the decision to shut down the of�ice after being unable to �ind a candidate to replace the long time postmaster, Sandy Roy, who retired last fall. “It was fortunate that the former postmaster allowed us to use the facility for as long as she did and we appreciate it but the new owners did not want it there,” said Grier. “We met with the com-
munity and with Council and we understand that no one wants to lose a paying position in their town but with no other alternatives available, we had no choice.” As reported in January, Canada Post speci�ied in the job advertising that candidates must be able to supply premises accessible to persons with disabilities and will be responsible for “rent or lease charges, heating, lighting, cleaning, routine general maintenance,
snow removal, municipal taxes, and the necessary property and liability insurance coverage”. Some residents have said that these expectations were unrealistic and Grier agrees that it would be dif�icult to provide all of that and be viable. “Carroll is a low mail volume community and the job has low hours so we understand why this wouldn’t work,” he stated. “If there had been a place such as a restaurant or another place of
business that could have provided space, that’s when it works best but with that option not available, it brings us to where we are today with Carroll having a super mailbox.” “There is no one to blame here,” explained Grier. “Everyone tried their best. It just didn’t work this time.” Keys were distributed last week and the newly installed group mailboxes went in to service Tuesday, August 8

Carlyle Fun Dayz celebrates community and Canada’s 150th Lynne Bell CARLYLE OBSERVER observer@sasktel.net
After a successful start in 2016, Carlyle Fun Dayz is set to return to the community on Saturday, Aug. 19 and will feature a parade, a small midway, an inflatble activity zone, a street dance, musical performances, a beer garden, a farmer’s market, food trucks, fireworks, and more. “We’re basing our fair on the fair in Morden, Manitoba where their entire Main Street is shut down and people can walk around the midway while walking through the town,” says event organizer Jenn Sedor. “Instead of having a fairground that’s on the outskirts of town and charging people per car, Carlyle Fun Dayz is something that people can attend and enjoy and see the community, too.” “Last year was a total success,” says Sedor. “It was more like a block party, but we deliberately did it that way to gauge interest and if the interest was there - and it was.” “This year, we have created a whole fair and it’s one where it’s easy for people to walk to the different attractions and by doing so, explore Carlyle.” “This year, we’re also celebrating Canada’s 150th, so that’s another reason the committee is happy to have done Carlyle Fun Dayz already last year,” adds Sedor. “We’re adding a lot this year, so it will still be a steep learning curve and a lot of work, but I’m confident that it will be a great day for people of all ages.” Sedor says the committee welcomes volunteers and adds that they’re “A great group to work with.” “The Carlyle Fun Dayz Committee is awesome,” she says. “Nicole Currie is our business rep, Tim
Sedor is our parade marshall and is also on our mainstage committee. Rolland Bouchard is our advertising guru, Michelle Romaniuk is our rink rep and Natalie Miller is our treasurer.” “We’re very happy to welcome volunteers and they’re greatly appreciated,” says Sedor. The event will officially begin with a Main Street parade at 11 a.m., preceeded by a pancake breakfast at the Carlyle Sports Arena hosted by the Carlyle & District Lions Club. “Last year, the parade kicked off with kids riding their decorated bikes down Main Street and this year, we’re continuing that tradition,” says Sedor. “We had 35 floats in 2016 and we’re hoping to add to that number this year. I can tell you that one of our parade entries is a VW Beetle sporting a custom-quilted cover that was crafted by a quilting club, so we’re off to a fun start.” “Our Main Street merchants will also feature special promotions and events during the weekend,” says Sedor. “So stay tuned.” “Close to Main Street, the Rusty Relics Museum will be hosting High Tea,” she says. “And near the library, part of Souris Avenue will be blocked off and transformed into the Co-op Family Fun Zone. There will be a bounce house, facepainting, fire truck games and the Coop Kids Station. And nearby, there will be a Farmer’s Market and Trade Show.” “And any interested sellers can text me at: (306)575-7290,” says Sedor. The area near the Carlyle Sports Arena will be home to Fun Dayz’ fairground attractions, says Sedor. “There will be an in-
flatable activity zone inside the rink, which is also an arena fundraiser,” she explains. “We’re calling it the ‘Teen Zone’ but it’s suitable for all adults. It’s basically an inflatable midway and it will feature laser tag, obstacle courses, jousting, a giant hamster ball, mini-golf and more. To enter it’s a flatrate fee - your wristband will get you in.” “Outside, Big Sky Amusements are bringing a traditional mini-midway to Carlyle, with two traditional rides for adults and two for kids. Those rides will be priced at a dollar per ride.” “There will also be a food truck fair, with our own Michael’s Coffee Shop and Bakery being one of the confirmed vendors. There will be a corn roast supper and we’re planning a beer garden later in the evening at our street dance, too.” “All of the other attractions around the rink are free,” adds Sedor. “Our main stage will feature free entertainment for all ages - and we’ve got the Bromantics confirmed already.” “Weather permitting, we’ll have an outdoor street dance near the rink and of course, the evening will be topped off with a fireworks display south of the rink around 10 p.m.” “In keeping with the spirit of community, the committee’s working hard to make Carlyle Fun Dayz a true community event - affordable and with something to offer all ages,” says Sedor. “We’re thrilled that Carlyle Fun Dayz is back for a second year and it’s truly an event for all ages. Not only will we celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday as a community, but we’re looking forward to welcoming visitors and showing them all Carlyle has to offer.”

Still Standing Janelle Desrochers Submitted
The wait is �inally over! The community of Reston couldn’t be more excited to �inally get to view their episode of CBC’s “Still Standing”. On Tuesday, August 8, the community gathered at Reston Memorial Theatre for drinks and laughs as they watched a special screening of the anticipated episode. Comic Johnny Harris and crew brought light to the town of Reston and showed how important it is to stick together through the hard times and the good times. Whether it was the crazy weather, �ires or �loods, the crew showcased how truly important it is to have a strong sense of community.
It was hard not to giggle at the unique subjects of discussion that took place between Al and the Gals or cringe when you heard the skin to hand contact that Reston’s own Tommy Lee Curtis laid on Johnny’s chest or chuckle at the references of after �ive Tanis. But mostly hearing the stories of how Robin Coombs and family had made Reston home and the love and support the Lochhead’s received from friends and family during rough times. All in all, I believe we can agree that the episode was a great success and something to go down in the history books! Thank you Johnny Harris, Crew and CBC for giving the world a special glance into the place we call home.

It is an impressive feat to score high on a provincial exam but it is mind blowing to score perfect. Whiz kid Campbell Rea did just that on his Math 30 Provincial Diploma Exam this spring. The 17-year-old Slave Lake, AB student is the grandson of Doug and Nelda Wilkinson of Melita. “I was pretty excited… I can‘t really explain it too well,” Rea said trying to �ind the words to describe his reaction to the perfect score. “Ev-
eryone leading up to the test was telling me I would get 100 percent. So when I actually got it, it was pretty exciting.” Rea was one of 250 students who achieved a perfect score out of the 13,000 that took the exam in Alberta. “I spent the whole three hours just making sure I got the answers and didn’t make any little mistakes,” Rea said as he explained his thoughts about the exam.” It wasn’t too bad… my teacher prepared me pretty well. Everything I saw on the test was something we
did in class before.” There was one question on the exam that Rea got wrong, except the majority of test takers also got it wrong and the question was removed from the exam. “He was the only one in the school to get a perfect score,” said Senior High Vice-Principal Matt Carter in an interview with Lakeside Leader. “Campbell also was one of four students to get 98 per cent on other various diploma exams.” In the fall, Rea will be attending the University of Alberta, studying engineering.

‘Nailed it’: Katie Vinge-Riddell’s legacy lives on at Forget fundraiser Lynne Bell CARLYLE OBSERVER observer@sasktel.net
Katie’s Kitchen was open again, as family, friends and fans gathered at Forget’s Happy Nun Cafe, Saturday, Aug. 12 for an evening of food, friendship and fond memories to benefit the Katie Vinge-Riddell “Nailed It” Memorial Scholarship at Edmonton’s NAIT Culinary Arts School, in honour of the award-winning young chef and owner of Forget’s The Happy Nun Cafe. The evening was, unsurprisingly, sold-out. Guests dined on a fourcourse meal created by Chef Tim Davies of Regina’s Willows on Wascana restaurant, who volunteered his expertise for the evening in order to pay tribute to his onetime apprentice. “I was privileged to be invited to do this; we worked closely together,” said Davies, whose wife Sheeli Davies, assisted him in the kitchen. Katie’s sister, sommelier Jillian Vinge, oversaw wine pairing for each
course, while the young chef’s husband, Riley Riddell tended bar. “Our family and the Vinge family have had so much support during this difficult time,” said Riddell. “It’s good to be back at The Happy Nun with all of our friends and family.” Jillian agreed, adding: “We’re happy to bring life into The Happy Nun again.” Katie’s friend, Roxann Waelchili was one of the young chef’s many friends and staff members who volunteered their time and talents to make the evening a success, along with musicians Wool Tree Grove. “We’re all friends of Katie’s here tonight and we all came together,” said Waelchli. “It’s hard, because we miss her so much, but tonight is just a lot of love for a special girl.” Prior to the fundraiser, Katie’s mother, Connie Vinge said, “The scholarship is entitled the Katie Vinge-Riddell “Nailed It” Memorial Scholarship, because that was her favourite saying when her food turned out perfectly
Katie’s Kitchen is open again, as the legacy of renowned Saskatchewan chef and owner of Forget’s Happy Nun Cafe - Katie Vinge-Riddell - will live on with the Katie Vinge-Riddell “Nailed It” Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship will benefit young chefs studying at Edmonton’s NAIT culinary school.

education like Katie did. The requirements for the scholarship are for a second-year Culinary Arts student at NAIT who displays passion, creativity, teamwork and consideration for others - all characteristics she exhibited.” Katie’s father, Tim Vinge, graciously addressed the crowd, starting with numerous thank yous, and briefly referring to the book, ‘When Bad Things Happen to Good People’ by Rabbi Harold Kushner. “When bad things happened to our Katie, the folks from Saskatchewan were there to help us, as well as our good friends. This is the way people from Saskatchewan are, and the gratitude that we have for what you have done is beyond words.” Tim addressed his daughter’s considerable professional and personal attributes, which included The Happy Nun’s numerous awards and
accolades - the result of Katie’s talent and hard work. Since 2015, the restaurant was showcased by television’s ‘The Prarie Diner’, CTV’s Small-Town Saskatchewan Summer Tour, The Saskatchewanderer, and the Saskscapes podcast with Saskatoon radio personality, Kevin Power. Katie also addressed the Community Futures and Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan as their keynote speaker. The Happy Nun was also awarded The Saskatchewan Tourism Award of Excellence and earned a five-star rating from TripAdvisor for Top Canadian Cuisine and Live Entertainment, as well as five stars for Top Family-Friendly Dining. Most recently, the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) spent three days with Katie at The Happy Nun for a BBC Online feature, an event which Tim remembered
with a smile. “When she told me The Happy Nun was being featured by the BBC, I thought it was bed and breakfast something,” said Tim. “I advised her not to take culinary arts - but she was interviewed by the BBC - not me!” “It shows you parents don’t always know best,” he added. Her father compared Katie’s career in culinary arts to his experience learning the violin. “Katie had a passion and a vision about culinary arts,” he said. “She got her cooking ability from both of her grandmothers and she found her place and passion at NAIT’s Culinary Arts program in Edmonton.” “Katie had to learn the language of food,” he added. “She apprenticed under Chef Tim Davies at the Willow on Wascana in Regina and she worked hard to be the best.” Continued on page 8

CTF warns small business owners about business tax changes The Canadian Taxpayer Federation (CTF) wants small business owners to be aware that proposed changes by the Federal government could impact their bottom line. Recently, Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced he will be considering certain business tax changes with the goal of “improving fairness in the tax system by closing loopholes and addressing tax planning strategies.” But it’s not quite that simple. The government seems to want to make changes that would stop “income sprinkling,” holding income in a private corporation and converting business income into capital gains. For people who are employed and collect
a regular paycheque, these changes won’t directly impact your taxes. But if you’re a farmer, a doctor or another self-employed professional, they might. If you want to read how these changes might impact some small businesses, here are a few newspaper op-eds that have run recently: •ottawacitizen. com/business/ local-business/ saikaley-proposedtax-reforms-dontc ra c k- d ow n - o n - t h e wealthy-they-threatensmall-business • w w w. t h e g l o b e andmail.com/globeinvestor/personal-finance/taxes/ proposed-tax-changeswill-shake-the-smallbusiness-world/article35754872/ •business.fi-

Do you support them, support some and oppose others or are you opposed to all of the changes? You have until October 2, 2017, to email your thoughts to fin.consultation.fin@canada.ca We’d like to encourage you to provide input and cc us your re-
sponse to taxreform@ taxpayer.com The CTF has been supportive of making the tax system lower, simpler and flatter. But we’re opposed to having the government use tax reform as political cover for tax hikes. We’re planning on submitting our input as well, but we’d like to know what you think before we do so. Thanks for all you do, we look forward to your feedback. Scott, Aaron, Shannon and the entire CTF team P.S.: Politicians only listen when they hear it loud and clear.

Manitoba medications return Program–Take It Back
Brandi Pollock MELITA NEW ERA cpocket@mts.net
Manitoba has the Medications Return Program in place hoping it will limit the amount of expired or unused drugs left in homes. Recent statistics show that the program has held up to its expectations with an increase in several people taking advantage of the program. In 2016, 15 tonnes of medication were returned using the Medications Return Program. According to a recent Health Products Stewardship Association (HPSA), in Manitoba, 87 percent of people say
they have medications in their home. Of those individuals, 24 percent admit that they have unwanted or expired medications in their homes. An impressive 56 percent of the people who had unwanted or expired medications used the Manitoba Return Program and took their medications to a local pharmacy. Even though the statistics show a 17 percent increase since the start of the Manitoba Medications Return Program in 2011, there is still 32 percent that throw medications away. “The service is free.

out shopping and drop them off with your pharmacist,” said Ginette Vanasse, HPSA’s Executive Director. “It keeps them out of the hands of young children and curious pets or the temptation of adventurous teens, and doing this ensures these products are disposed of in a safe and environ-
mentally-friendly way.” Manitoba Medications Return Program consists of 335 pharmacies, one of them being the Melita Super Thrifty. Next time you have unused or expired medications, take advantage of the free program and get your medications disposed of safely.

Benefit Social to be held for local woman battling brain cancer By Kelly Running with references to Brandon Sun’s July 29 article, “Brain cancer battle ‘overwhelming’” Wawota native Janelle Lamontagne – now of Brandon, MB – daughter of Karlene and Eugene Krupa – is a 29-yearold speech-language pathologist. Her normal life was challenged when it was discovered she has been living with an asymptomatic brain tumour which was approximately the size of a golf ball. The discovery of the tumour was found when she was being treated for a rare bleeding disorder – acquired von Willebrand’s disease, which Lamontagne told the Brandon
Sun in their article, “Brain cancer battle ‘overwhelming,’” which was published on July 31. While undergoing treatment for this disease, she reacted unfavourably and was later admitted to the emergency room suffering from a severe migraine. With concerns that there was possibly a brain bleed due to the bleeding disorder, a CT scan was ordered and a mass the size of a golf ball was found. Further tests were ordered including an MRI – neurologists were determined to deduce if the mass was in fact a tumour or possibly a cyst. Neurologists concluded that it was a tumour and she was
referred to a neurosurgeon in Winnipeg to remove the tumour. After undergoing an awake craniotomy – which lasted 9 hours – on June 29 to remove the tumour, it was tested and confirmed to be cancerous – it is in fact a grade three anaplastic astrocytoma. Although the majority of the tumour was removed during the surgery, it is impossible to remove it entirely as it has entwined with healthy tissue, although she told the Brandon Sun that “the procedure removed 99 percent of [it].” The journey ahead will be intense as she was scheduled for 7-days-a-week of che-
motherapy, radiation 5-days-a-week for six weeks. She will continue a full-year of chemotherapy 5-days-a-week for the next year in Brandon following this initial treatment. Prior to her treatment Lamontagne told the Brandon Sun that, “It’s been very overwhelming. The hardest part, I think, is that I feel completely normal. I have no symptoms, so it’s hard to understand why I went through a craniotomy and I’m going to start chemo and radiation when I feel perfectly fine.” Although a trying time Lamontagne continues to look forward, adding in her interview with the Brandon
Sun, “I work with the adult population in acute care. I’ve actually worked with a lot of patients with brain tumours… I hope this gives me a chance to better relate to my patients when I can finally return to my job.” With all that life has thrown at her Lamontagne remains in good spirits; but, the costs surrounding the treatments has led to family and friends setting up a Benefit Social in her name to be held on Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. at the Victoria Inn Hotel and Convention Centre in Brandon, MB. Tickets to the social ($20) are available from Marley Drumm (Detayls Hair Salon – Wednes-
days to Saturdays), Tanya Brisbois (577-7787), or Susan Wilson (5777664). Hotel rooms for those attending the social have been reserved under a group rate for those attending the social at The Comfort Inn, Best Western Plus, or Lake View Hotels and Resorts (must call to book the hotel to book the room). Donations of auction items for both the social and an online auction are being accepted by Marley Drumm – contact her through Facebook or email: marleydrumm@hotmail.com. Monetary donations are also being accepted for the Janelle Lamontagne trust at the Conexus Credit Union.

Patmore helps Team Manitoba earn silver Brandi Pollock MELITA NEW ERA cpocket@mts.net
Traffic Safety & Info RCMP members of the Southeast Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan (CTSS) are located in Estevan, Weyburn, Carlyle, Broadview, and Fort Qu’Appelle. The CTSS pilot project dedicates 60 officers to traffic safety enforcement in Saskatchewan. These officers target problematic road ways and intersections in the
central and southeast regions of the province. All police vehicles in the Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan pilot are now equipped with automated licence plate readers (ALPRs). “Unregistered vehicles, identifying potential disqualified drivers associated to a vehicle, missing persons, stolen vehicles - these are just some of the ways automated license plate readers are assisting members with their duties every day,” said Sgt. Al Hofland of RCMP Traffic Services.
“The potential exists to use the ALPRs for other investigative purposes which haven’t been realized yet. This is a valuable tool members use each day to help keep our roads safe.” To date, the Southeast CTSS members have charged over 700 people for operating a motor vehicle or trailer without a certificate of registration or a registration permit. The fine for this charge is $580 for a motor vehicle and $175 for a trailer.
Team Manitoba didn’t quite get the outcome they were looking for at the Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg, but they were close, taking home the silver medal in 3-1 loss to Saskatchewan in the gold medal game held last Friday. Team Manitoba rolled through the round robin undefeated, scoring 34 runs and giving up just nine. “Obviously, we would have liked to win gold, as we were so close, but silver is not something to be disappointed about, especially in a tourna-
It’s summer again – time for many of us to take a break and possibly hit the open road. But even if you go on vacation, you won’t want your investments to do the same – in summertime or any other season. How can you help make sure your portfolio continues to work hard for
you all year long? Here are a few suggestions: • Avoid owning too many “low growth” investments. As you know, different investments have different characteristics and can help you in different ways. For example, you typically own stocks because you want the potential for growth. Other investments, such as guaranteed investment certificates (GICs), provide you with a regular source of income and stability of principal – two valuable contributions to your portfolio. However, investments like GICs don’t offer much in the way of growth potential. So if you own too many of
them, you might be slowing your progress toward your important financial goals, such as a comfortable retirement. You can maximize the productivity of your portfolio by owning a variety of investments – domestic stocks, international stocks, corporate bonds, GICs and more. How much of each investment should you own? The answer depends on a variety of factors, including your age, income, risk tolerance, family situation and specific objectives. Over time, your ideal investment mix may change, but you’ll likely need at least some growth potential at every stage of your life. • Don’t let your port-
folio go “unsupervised.” Your investment portfolio can be subject to “drift” if left alone for extended time periods. In fact, without your making any moves at all, your portfolio can move in directions that may not be favourable to you. Suppose you think your holdings should be made up of 70% stocks, but due to strong gains, your stocks now make up 80% of your portfolio. This development could lead to a risk level that feels uncomfortably high to you. That’s why you should review your portfolio at least once a year, possibly with the help of a financial professional, to check your progress and make adjustments
ment like this,” said Reston Minor Baseball graduate John Patmore. “It was very bittersweet, but we were very proud of ourselves.” Shaw Park, home of the American Association’s Winnipeg Goldeyes was packed with just over 7,000 fans as Team Manitoba went for gold. “The crowd was incredible to play in front of. They kept us going when we were tired or hurting,” Patmore said. “We wanted to do it for the fans.” “Going into the final game we knew it was going to be loud and filled with Manitoba fans, so obviously we were really excited,” added Patmore.
Despite the perfect record in the round robin, Patmore said there were no easy games in the tournament. “Every game was a battle, which really seemed to help us discover the way we wanted to play all the time,” he added. As for a lot of young athletes at the Canada Summer Games, the experience is something to be held onto and cherish. “The experience is a once in a lifetime thing,” Patmore explained. “You had to take everything in and always give it your best shot because you don’t know when or if something like this will ever come up again.”
as needed. • Don’t stop at the nearest “resting place.” Some people hope that if they can get that one “winner,” they will triumph in the investment arena. But the ability to “get rich quick” is much more of a myth than a reality. True investment success typically requires patience, persistence and the resilience to continue investing even during market downturns. In other words, investing is a long-term endeavour, and you need
a portfolio that reflects this reality. You need to establish your goals and keep them constantly in mind as you invest. And you will never really reach the end of your investment journey, because you’ll need to make choices and manage your portfolio throughout your retirement years. Hopefully, you will enjoy a pleasant vacation sometime this summer. But your investment portfolio shouldn’t take time off. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Don’t let your investments take a “vacation”
