Hometown and Borderland Co-ops propose a merger

By Laura Kish “Our co-ops will become better together.”

Borderland Co-op rolled out to members a proposed partnership with Hometown Co-op.

Co-ops were built on the concept of working together and this partnership is sure to make for a stronger, united co-op committed to serving their communities better.

That founding principle remains at the heart of this partnership as both co-ops share a vision to offer value, enhance growth, and maintain relevance for current and next generation members.

With 218 employees and 7,800 members, Borderland Co-op has locations in Moosomin, Rocanville, Maryfield and Whitewood.

Hometown Co-op has 86 employees and 5,200 members, and serves the communities of Kipling, Grenfell, Sintaluta and Broadview.

Jason Schenn, CEO of Borderland and GM of Hometown shares his

views about the merger.

“Borderland has always focused on being a strong and stable rural cooperative which has been extended to Hometown through the management agreement. The pandemic has proven that when communities support their local businesses, they can be sustainable for the long term.

Our continuing mission is to strive to earn our members support so that rural communities we serve can continue to provide essential services long into the future. A shared future between Borderland and Hometown adds to that strength and creates more opportunities to contribute to what makes rural communities so special.”

The decision to merge has been in the works for quite some time.

“Yes, when you get into the management agreements, they’re not specifically designed to do that but a lot of times it ends up that way because if retails do get along well there’s a lot of benefits of two retails being together

to buy product among other things. It adds more stability, adds more structure, brings more expertise to the table and leadership. It also lets us be more competitive in the marketplace. We hope this will help keep rural branches stay alive.”

“Looking at a volume perspective, Borderland is twice as large as Hometown Co-op, in terms of dollar volumes. We’re fairly diverse in the commodities that we serve and we probably have a higher level of leadership.

Borderland’s overage policy for equity is 66 whereas Hometown’s is 70 before members can apply for their equity out.

Hometown has a $15,000 equity cap, so once you reach that amount, anything over and above that each year is paid out 100 per cent in cash.

In Borderland’s case, ours is $10,000. There’s probably about 40 or 50 members within Hometown scattered all over various communities that are at a $15,000 cap so they would see a $5,000 cheque day one.”

Posing in front of the Borderland Co-op office is Borderland president Rob Hill, Hometown Co-op president Lawrence Swanson, and Borderland CAO and Hometown GM Jason Schenn.

across many communities over the years. The cost to convert all brand assets would be around $170,000. To rebrand Hometown assets alone would only be $38,000.

It was decided that the money would be better put to use investing in

projects and initiatives that make a tangible difference in our communities.”

Lawrence Swanson, president of the Hometown board, explains the strength the partnership will achieve saying, A3 » CO-OPS

Arcola Day Care pairs up with local rancher for fundraiser

By Laura Kish The Arcola Day Care has been running since 2008 with Kayla Brown as director for the past six years.

“Licensed are 29 full-time children, however we have about 20 casual children that fill in when full times are away,” states Brown.

The day care not only serves the community of Arcola, but also the surrounding communities including Carlyle, Kisbey, Forget, Pheasant Rump, White Bear and Manor.

Like any other small town operation, groups such as this are always looking for ways to fundraise to keep it going.

“Our families are required to take part in four mandatory fundraisers per year,” explains Kyla Vanderhulst, volunteer board member of Arcola Day Care.

“Typically we have a ladies’ night fundraiser in March but obviously due to COVID we are unable to do that this year,” explains Vanderhulst.

That particular fundraiser is not only a big hit with the attendees but usually a huge money maker for the centre.

“We were just looking for ways to find something new and something fresh,” says Vanderhulst. “We were trying to look for something that would bring tangible goods to people rather than just buying tickets and hoping to win something.”

“We decided to go ahead with a barbecue beef box fundraiser in hopes of mitigating the costs that we’re losing from ladies’ night,” she said.

The day care thought it would be great to team up with someone local so decid-

ed to work in collaboration with Right Cross Ranch.

The funds raised will be put towards betterment of the facility.

In the past few years, the day care has had the inside redone, purchased new appliances, and the siding and deck were the latest projects that they put money towards.

Vanderhulst goes on to explain: “Right now, we’re saving up to do another big purchase – we’re wanting to build an addition on to the building mainly for making our dining room larger, adding a staff room and also an additional play room in hopes to get licensed for more spaces when complete.”

“We also try to focus on our staff – they are really important to us.”

“It’s nice to have staff stay year after year and get to know the kids.”

“Another goal is to do an infant and toddler specific zone in the back yard.”

The day care doesn’t put their fundraiser profits towards day-to-day operation costs but they do fundraise to keep the operational costs lower.

For instance the money is put towards repairs and maintenance that needs to be done on the building including electrical, plumbing and

Sarah and Jim Anderson of Right Cross Ranch, who are celebrating the ranch’s 10th anniversary in 2021, are super excited about partnering with the Arcola Day Care for their fundraiser.

“I think this is just awesome,” explains Sarah. “It’s great to have our locally raised ranch beef into the hands of people in the urban centres.”

She reassures buyers that the quality is number one. She’s sure that people will enjoy the flavors.

“My husband and I purchased extra freezers so we’re all stocked up and ready for the sales,” says an optimistic Sarah.

“As soon as the boxes

run out we know that the phone will be ringing.”

During COVID people are looking to support locally and one way is to purchase home grown beef.

“I want people to open their box and say ‘Oh my gosh this is amazing’,” said Sarah.

“That first experience has to be really good.”

In just over a week, the Day Care has already sold approximately 100 boxes of the maximum 300 up for grabs. For their $220, they receive a 20-pound box variety pack consisting of premade patties, top end steak, roast and loose hamburger. There’s also the option to have gluten free.

“I’m pumped for people to try our home grown ranch beef,” said Sarah.

“I’m so blown away by the local sponsorship as well,” Sarah went on to say. “Thanks to Fireside Furniture & Appliances, TJ’s Welding, Arcola Food, Back Country Electric Ltd., Regal Autobody, Gunner’s Plumbing & Heating and Glasser’s TV Service.”

Every person who purchases a box of beef gets their name entered to win a number of prizes, totalling $3,000, one of the prizes being a standup freezer.

So you’re not only supporting the Arcola Day Care, you’re getting a box of beef and your name is entered to win one of seven different prizes.

Order yours before May 19 by calling Kayla at 306-455-2186.

The Reach Café provides connection in times of isolation

By Olivia Grandy The Reach Café is a specialty pop-up coffee shop with a cause. The café’s committee works alongside the United Church in Oxbow and Alameda to create a welcoming space for all.

The Mercury spoke to the Reach committee and the baristas about the café’s success, mission in the community and future plans.

The Reach Café, a non-profit, has been operating using grant money from the United Church of Canada since February 2019. The café is located in the basements of the United Churches in Oxbow and Alameda, where they welcome the community.

Recently, the Reach Café was closed for three weeks due to increased COVID-19 cases in the area, but is excited to have their doors open once again.

“This is our second week open. It was a good week back. We’ve had some pretty good traffic.

We have some new drink items, so there have been regulars in to see what’s different,” said barista

Megan Andersen.

The café’s goal has always been to build connection in the community, so all items are pay by donation. Committee member Anita Warner explained that when the grant money was initially received, they wanted to meet a need within the community. Together, the committee agreed that it was missing an accessible specialty coffee shop.

“Now more than ever, people need ways to connect, and this is a way that we can offer our building because otherwise, it would be sitting empty right now. I think we are called to share with the world,” said Warner.

With the help of Michel Ellis of Michael’s Coffee Shop and Bakery in Carlyle and Estevan, Penny Lasy and Megan Andersen became trained baristas. The Reach Café also sources its coffee beans from Michael’s. Reach feels that they are creating a demand for specialty coffee all across the southeast corner.

“When we started, there were many people

who had never had a latte or a cappuccino.”

It is also a value of the Reach Café to source local items, with almost everything they use and sell being Canadianmade.

The committee recently received its last year of funding through the grant from the United Church. This means that eventually, they may have to set menu prices.

However, they emphasized that there will always be an option to pay by donation.

“I want people to know that there is a place to gather. If you have no money, you can still come here and have a drink. We’re not looking at how much people donate, but we’re hoping that people who can put in money and can be generous will, so that the café can continue. It’s kind of like a community trust in that we share as we are able,” expressed Warner.

A notable priority of the Reach Café is to be an inviting space for people of all gender identities, sexual orientations, nationalities, and religions.

Rev. Jackie van’t Voort

shared how this value aligns with the mission of the café.

“One of the things that we aim to do with this is to break those barriers and stereotypes down so that people can feel welcome coming into the building. Sometimes I think that people see a church and they go, ‘Oh, I can’t go there.’ What we’re saying is yes, you can. Come have a coffee,” van’t Voort said.

Van’t Voort said the Reach Cafe is part of a larger vision for the community and is the foundation of other potential initiatives in Oxbow and Alameda.

“The mission and the goal of the Reach Café is to be a place where people can reach out to one another, they can be in touch with one another, and it’s a safe space. The fact that the church has this space available and is willing to give it so freely is our way of saying to the communities, we’re here, and we support you. We want to give you what you need, but we also need you to tell us what you need, so here’s a space and here’s an opportunity to do that.”

The Reach Café would like to acknowledge the hard work of all committee members, including Kathleen Rae, Heather Tober, Mike Meyer, Margaret Pool, Sara East and Rayanne Freitag.

The Reach Café is

open on Tuesdays in Oxbow and Wednesdays in Alameda from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Oxbow on Thursdays from 6-8 p.m.. You can view their full menu on their Facebook page and follow their Instagram, @the_reach_ cafe to receive updates.

Co-ops will vote on merger at June annual meetings « A1 “I see endless opportunities ahead for this new partnership. Stability, opportunities for growth and efficiencies in all commodities that will make the member experience stronger and more rewarding across all communities we serve.”

Rob Hill, president of the Borderland board, added to this saying, “The decision to amalgamate will ensure a strong, vibrant and innovative co-op exists in our rural communities. Both co-ops complement each other very well.”

By partnering together, the united Co-op will be more resilient to increasing competition and will have more resources and talent to pool together in order to innovate.

Darren Ottenbreit, Home and Agro Ops director, explains, “Having come from Hometown and now being part of the leadership team for both co-ops, I believe there is significant value in the common goal we share … building a strong and stable rural coop that can constantly evolve to meet the needs of our

members in the communities we serve. Unifying our co-ops will provide efficiencies in operations, more expertise to better develop our people and ultimately, a better shopping experience for members of both co-ops, which will earn local support and keep our locations viable for the long term.”

All current and future members will benefit from the amalgamation in a number of ways.

When you're a member, you're an owner. Borderland

Co-op and Hometown Co-op would like to invite memberowners to join them on June 7 (Hometown) and June 8 (Borderland), for their annual general meeting, which will include a member information session and vote on the proposed merger resolution.

The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m.

As COVID-19 restrictions may impact how this meeting is delivered, please watch for specific details on posters at all locations, follow their social media and watch for

announcements in the weeks leading up to the meeting.

Once the membership votes are in and if it’s twothirds majority then the proposed starting date of the new co-op will be Oct. 10, when both co-ops will operate as Borderland.

The over 13,000 members of the united Co-op, which will continue as Borderland Co-op, would be able to use one co-op number in eight communities and at over 19 different locations (and growing).

Vaccines great, but Sask. may need more

By Murray Mandryk We have a roadmap to re-Re-Open Saskatchewan.

It seems like a pretty good one, if Premier Scott Moe is right that the key is getting as many vaccines in as many arms as possible.

Moe is likely right that vaccines are critical to success.

While his critics may not like his harping on the success in American states — particularly neighbouring North Dakota — in reducing their COVID-19 cases through vaccination, there’s little that successfully challenges this argument.

That said, right now, we are seeing a neighbour struggle with COVID-19 … although it’s our neighbour to the west of us rather than our neighbour to the south.

Alberta has just achieved the unfortunate distinction of having the highest active COVID-19 case rate, per capita, among Canadian provinces and American states.

Regardless of what part of rural or urban Saskatchewan you live in, you don’t need to be reminded how incredibly closely we are connected to Alberta.

It’s where many of our kids, brothers and sisters went to find work years or decades ago.

We go there to visit them. And they come home for visits.

Given what we witnessed last summer with the outbreak in La Loche that was contact traced to a work camp outside Fort McMurray or the outbreak on several Saskatchewan Hutterite colonies traced to a funeral on a colony in Alberta, we learned how freely COVID-19 can travel over provincial borders.

For now, though, Moe sees no reason to close the border, arguing the best way to stop the spread is to encourage vaccinations.

That’s what his three-step re-opening road map aims to do.

It begins with Step One that will kick in if at least 70 per cent of Saskatchewan residents 40 years and older receive at least one vaccination by the end of the month.

That we already have more than 65 per cent of that demographic vaccinated strongly suggests this will be achieved.

Presuming it is achieved, the Saskatchewan Party government will allow indoor house gatherings of 10 people, restaurant and bars re-openings to tables of six and outdoor events of 150 people.

Next would come Step Two that would end limits on store capacity, dining and fully re-open barber shops and hair salons while allowing as many as 150 people in casinos, bingo halls and theatres. This will all be allowed if we can get 70 per cent of Saskatchewan residents 30 years and older vaccinated.

Step Three would see the end to pretty much all existing restricting (perhaps even indoor masking) by mid- to late July if we have 70 per cent of all adults over 18 years vaccinated with at least one shot.

Moe and his government are offering a pretty big carrot for all people to go and get vaccinated.

And, somewhat subtly, it’s a bit of stick for those who might procrastinate when it comes to getting their vaccinations and especially those who are balking at vaccines altogether.

But while vaccines are great, the re-open plan doesn’t really use any other metrics like case numbers, test positivity rates or, most importantly, hospitalizations or deaths to measure whether the plan should be stopped or can go forward.

We have a roadmap, but we’re not out of the woods yet.

One day among all the others

Shelley Luedtke She breezes into the auditorium flashing her 1,000-watt smile. At the back of the room are display racks filled with products that make up her lifestyle brand: books, fashion and fragrances.

The crowd falls silent as she begins to speak. Her theme: motherhood. Her focus: how the challenges can be made so much better by breathing in the aroma of her candles, filling a tub with her specially sourced bath salts and soaking in the wisdom of her books.

She can totally relate to your struggles.

Her children are so busy she spends countless hours behind the wheel of her SUV driving them from soccer to saxophone to swimming. They are bright so she is seeking multiple language tutors to enhance their education.

Balancing all of that while presiding over her empire shaping the image of motherhood

OBSERVER

leaves her wondering if she left the correct list of tasks out for the maid, because she just hasn’t had a moment to collect her thoughts.

She laments not having nearly enough time to work out or get a decent pedicure. She flashes her smile, gives a knowing wink and asks her audience, “You know what I’m talking about.

Am I right? “ Okay, so I’m exaggerating a bit, but when did we give over the ideal picture of motherhood to a bunch of celebrities and their stylists, or decide that having active kids makes us martyrs?

My anticipation in hearing an author and speaker a few years ago turned to frustration when she spent the first 15 or so minutes complaining how hard it was to be a mom. The worst came the “awful, awful day” her vehicle got a flat tire at the dry cleaner just before picking up her daughter at ballet class, prior to grabbing takeout so they could get to family tennis lessons.

While having to wait for the Auto Club, she decided (and she told us this delightedly) “to take the merry with the mayhem.” I was done.

Many parents know the balancing act required to keep home, jobs and activities run-

ning. It is exhausting at times. But if it is something we get to do…let’s be grateful. It means our children are able to take part in these tasks.

They can learn, achieve, run, have fun, make friends and dream dreams. What a busy, costly, stressful yet totally amazing adventure that is.

There are other parents whose daily life looks so different because of challenges that are part of their parenting experience. Illness.

Disability. Poverty. Addiction.

Dysfunction.

Homelessness.

Is motherhood tough? Yes. But to characterize a day of being able to drive your children to activities in safety, to watch them pursue their interests, and then to deal with the annoyance of a flat tire as an “awful, awful day” stretched my patience. Inconvenient?

Absolutely. Mayhem?

Not even close.

My mom was young when she was widowed.

She had two teenagers to raise, a career to resume, and a future she didn’t expect. I can only imagine the emotion of Mother’s Day that year, coming to terms with parenting alone. How many mothers will face that this weekend? How many mothers confront this day after the loss of a child? How many are heading into this after Subscription Rates:

losing their mom?

Because of restrictions, Mother’s Day, again this year, won’t be what most hope for.

Then again, the expectations of the day don’t fit the reality for many in any given year. Being a mom is so much more than one day can begin to appreciate, because there is no one-size-fitsall mom and we need to mute the voices telling us otherwise.

Raising responsible, caring, ethical kids from children to adulthood is not easy. Good parenting requires sacrifice, patience, grace and an unwavering commitment to doing what is best--not what may come easiest.

Some circumstances are terribly hard.

Heart-wrenching situations can accurately be described as truly awful. But along with that is tremendous joy, infectious laughter, and amazing milestones.

Motherhood is the opportunity to accompany our children through all of it. What makes it so important is what is at stake — our children — and the future we hope they will have.

Whatever your day looks like Sunday, make it yours. Shut out voices that are trying to tell you you’re not doing it right. Being a mom isn’t a lifestyle brand.

It is life. And it matters.

That’s my outlook.

WHAT DO MOMS REALLY WANT FOR MOTHER’S DAY?

Are you having trouble finding the perfect Mother’s Day present?

If so, then perhaps you should consider that what your mom really wants is time — both to share with her loved ones and to enjoy by herself. Here are a few ways to give it to her.

PLAN A DAY OF ACTIVITIES

Happy Mother’s Day We’ve got Mom covered with lots of gift ideas!

Friday, May 7, 2021

Plan a full day of activities for the family so Mom can sit back and enjoy spending time with her loved ones, without the hassle of having to manage itineraries, make reservations or organize any of the other details.

DO THE SPRING CLEANING Deep clean the kitchen, organize the closet or wash all the windows. You can even hire a cleaning company to do the job; you’ll score the brownie points without having to lift a finger.

SORT THE FAMILY PHOTOS Many families have countless digital photographs on their computers that could stand to be organized. Others have piles of printed pictures that need to be sorted. Give Mom a reason to smile by tidying up the photos and presenting them to her in an album.

Be sure to spend some time reminiscing with her as she flips through it.

OFFER HER A DAY OFF If she’s got young kids, hire a babysitter for the day. This will give her a much needed break and the chance to do whatever she wants. If you really want to spoil her, send her to a spa to get pampered.

Happy Mother’s Day

Mom doesn’t really need things for Mother’s Day. What she really wants is a shorter to-do list, a bit of down time and to enjoy the day.

It’s time to take the clubs out of their winter hibernation and hit the Carlyle Golf Course

By Laura Kish Try golfing a round at the nine-hole, grass green course in Carlyle - the Cornerstone of Saskatchewan.

The Carlyle Golf Course, which opened in 1965, features all the hallmarks of Saskatchewan golf.

The club opened up for the season over a month ago already, although the snow a few weeks ago put a halt to golfing. The golfers had to put away their clubs for a few days but it was welcomed moisture for the course.

The warm weather will certainly green things up as well.

The club has 225 people signed up as members and also one corporate membership to date, but is expecting more golfers to sign up for the season.

“The membership is definitely up from last year,” says Terri Field, manager of the Carlyle Golf Club.

Carlyle’s first golf tournament is planned for the Victoria Day long weekend.

It’s their Help Build the Deck and a farewell to Gord and Christy Jarvis golf tournament, which is put on by the board.

The Carlyle Golf Club holds their usual events in-

cluding men’s night on Monday and ladies’ night on Tuesdays. Their senior men’s is held on Tuesday afternoons but as the weather improves it will be changed to 9 a.m.

Field says some of the features that would entice a golfer to their course are the wide tree-lined fairways, which are well maintained. There’s not a lot of elevation changes so it’s family friendly.

She goes on to say: “It’s great for a beginner golfer. Some of the greens are quite challenging. The course is very well looked after.”

Golfers have commented that the course is in really good shape.

Carlyle Golf Club also has a fully licensed clubhouse.

The club offers power and pull carts as well as clubs for rent – a great idea for a beginner who wants to try the game of golf before investing a lot of money in the sport.

Some of the reasons why a golfer should try out the Carlyle course, according to Field: “It’s a friendly course – you won’t get frustrated.”

“If you’re a beginner golfer, it’s a great course to start on.”

“Our rates are very reasonable.”

“We opened our gazebo on hole No. 5 in early April

Carlyle Golf Course is a popular course for local golfers. Photo submitted selling food and beverages,” explains Field.

“We’re improving all the time. We have three projects on the go right now.”

They’re making it even more appealing to the new and seasoned golfers.

“We’re in the process of getting a new tee off box for Hole No. 1. Our deck and ground patio area, which will

help with the social distancing.”

And just to spark your interest…you’ll have to wait and see what some of the other new and exciting features will be.

“I have been so fortunate to have an absolute dream staff who are so friendly,” says Field.

That leaves golfers with

a good first impression of the Carlyle Golf Club.

You will feel welcomed no matter what your skill level is as a golfer.

“We’re a really good bunch and we work together really well,” says Field. “I have full confidence in my staff.”

Carievale Greenhouse is back to life under new ownership

By Ana Bykhovskaia Carievale Greenhouse opened its doors to its first customers on May 1, after a break of a few years.

Holly Bayliss, the new enthusiastic owner of the operation, said that while her main

profession is a cook, plants have always been a passion, which ended up turning into her new job. She had some experience in gardening back in Grade 10 when she worked in a greenhouse, but her interest was always there.

"I just really love

had a broad selection of plants she grew this spring.

"March 1 is when we started planting. And we have a little bit of everything, lots of vegetables, lots of interesting fun, strange things like loofah gourds, cucamelons and pink celery."

Bayliss said that rare and weird plants, like cucamelons – which are also known as mouse melons, and are toonie-sized watermelons that taste like cucumbers and grow on a vine – are her favourite part of the project.

And my family said, 'Well, why don't you buy it?' I'm like, 'Oh, yeah, I could just do that.'"

The opportunity has always been there, as Bayliss' neighbours closed the greenhouse a few years ago, but she didn't think of it until about a year ago.

Greenhouse has a lot to offer its clients « A10 always loved, I’ve loved growing weird things,” Bayliss said.

“The pink celery is bright fluorescent pink.

It tastes just like celery and you can eat it. It’s kind of cool. And then loofah gourds are my favourite. They grow like zucchini, and in the fall, they turn brown and crisp up and the skin falls off. And underneath they are like a bath (sponge). You can scrub your body with it or they are fantastic

dish scrubbers. I just love the weird things.”

They also have some flowers that are a bit different from widespread petunias and other traditional annuals.

“I got these cool spider Osteospermums.

They look like white daisies, but the petals almost look like little spoons. Oh, they’re really weird, they look freaky almost, but I really like those. And there are moonflowers.

We love moonflowers.

The seed is really hard to find, in the southern states, they’re considered a weed. Here they grow amazing. We don’t have hot enough weather to make them grow like weeds. They grow flowers that are six to eight inches wide, as big as your hand, and they are bright white, but they only come out at night. They look so cool in a campfire spot where you’re sitting around at night and there are just these big white flowers. But as soon as the sun comes up, they go away,” explained Bayliss with passion.

The 4,000 square foot Carievale Greenhouse also offers a wide variety of all kinds of traditional vegetables and annual flowers suitable for the climate.

Besides, they have a good variety of perennials, shrubs and trees.

On top of that, Bayliss has a good selection of canned vegetables and jams from the last season and is looking forward to doing much more with the greenhouse leftover vegeta-

bles this year.

Bayliss said that the Carievale Greenhouse has been running for about 50 years, but it’s been closed for the last eight years before she purchased it. And now it’s back again.

“It was just sitting here waiting for someone,” Bayliss said.

For her, the new business became a reallife learning curve.

“Lots of learning.

(One of the discoveries was that) everything is huge, everything’s about a foot tall. I learned very quickly that one week in a greenhouse is three weeks in the garden.

Every single morning, we can go in there and more things are blooming, more things are growing, they grow incredibly fast.”

Wanda Bayliss, Holly’s mother, is her biggest helper with everything going on in the greenhouse.

“I wouldn’t have any of this if it wasn’t for her and her love for plants, I got that inherited,” Bayliss said.

Carievale Greenhouse is open 10 a.m.-7 p.m. every day.

Carievale Greenhouse offers a wide variety of traditional and unique flowers and plants. Photo submitted

The greenhouse is currently filled with plants and expects more to come, but that won't last too long.

St. George and killing dragons Submitted by Ken Rolheiser My brother George likes to say he was named after King George VI of England. You see, King George was named first and my brother came after that.

I have a definite affinity with the name George. My grandfather, father, brother and son were named George. I have a granddaughter named Georgia and other relatives with George as their first or second name.

All this makes the Feast of St. George on April 23 an important date. St. George is usu-

ally pictured killing a dragon. Legends and romantic lore have popularized this noble figure.

In fact, St. George was a Christian martyred by Diocletion in 303 A.D. St. George’s popularity springs from the noble figure he presents in history. Even today many countries, including England, Belgium, Georgia and Portugal, have St. George as their patron saint. St George was a noble and chivalrous Roman soldier. His slaying of a dragon to save a young princess is the stuff of fairy tales.

The dragon may symbolize Satan or evil.

We all need a hero to

emulate in our struggles for good. C.S. Lewis wrote, “Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage.”

C.K. Chesterton said that children do not meet boogies in fairy tales; their imaginations naturally provide this villainy. Chesterton said the fairy tale provides a St. George to kill the dragons of the imagination. St George’s triumph is also the triumph of Christ.

Killing dragons is something we all related to as children. Witness the popularity of the

heavy metal 1980’s band Dio and their song Killing Dragons: “Killing dragons with swords made of wood, We chased them away, But they came back today, And I’d fight them again if I could.

“As one fan texted: “Every time I listen to this I am killing one more dragon in my imagination.”

Indeed the “Killing Dragons” song was a statement against injustices and what the world is doing to stop them.

Each of us has our own dragons to fight; in-

ternal, like temptations, and external, like the struggles of life. In the book Saint George and the Dragon, as George is preparing to fight the dragon, he sees a vision of a “high city” that symbolizes Heaven. Before you and I reach that high city or the New Jerusalem, we have to go into the valley to fight and defeat the dragons in our lives.

The legend of St George inspires hope in us that with Christ’s help we can defeat our dragons. Small wonder this mythical hero has grown to such heroic proportions. The formula for success follows the three

virtues of St George: Courage – choosing to do the right thing in facing the dragon; compassion –putting ourselves in danger to protect others; and perseverance – persisting against defeat.

Like St. George, we are all on our path to the “High City” glimmering in the distance, and his story reminds us of what it takes to get there.

Someday when we approach its pearly gates, we can hope to say with St. Paul and in imitation of St. George, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (2 Timothy 4:7-8).

Alida news - support a raffle Maryfield Sunrise Villa news Submitted by Edel Cowan

have had a few small ones that only took a few minutes to fix things so they could continue with their job.

I was looking forward to seeing our granddaughter preform in her dance recital on May 2 – but unfortunately the recital had to be cancelled again this year due to COVID-19 showing its face among some of the dancers. One of these times I’m sure we will defeat this pandemic and slowly return back to being normal.

Hope everyone enjoyed their year of dance, despite no recital. I’m sure you all worked hard.

It is Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 9 – so do remember to wish your Mom the very best on this her special day.

I’m secretly planning on visiting our local greenhouse and maybe picking out some flowers for my flower beds, flower pots and maybe even pick out some garden veggies. A very “Happy Mother’s Day” is extended to each and every one of you moms.

Gee it does seem to be too early to be think-

The Alida Rec. Board will not be hosting a Sports Day again this year. Instead, they decided to have a Summer BBQ Package Raffle, with items related to a barbecue (plates, chairs, lights, food, etc.)

The raffle will be available online as well as the squares on display at some of our local businesses. Hope you will continue to support the Rec. Board in their fundraisers, which helps with expenses of their forthcoming events. At this time, they will soon be getting the swimming pool ready for this season as well as looking for workers.

Everyone seems to be busy with either yardwork, preparing flower beds or just getting ready for the nice warm weather of spring. The men are very busy with their seeding and they seem to be moving right along. Let’s hope that their luck holds out and no one has any serious break downs.

I know our guys

ing about transplanting bedding plants, but then I usually wait and try to get them accustomed to the outside weather for a while before actually transplanting them.

Well Hubby hasn’t had time to work the garden area yet anyway.

Wishing the following a happy birthday this week – Ericka {Carlsen) Land, Claire Germain, Abbie Land, Lincoln Peet, and Gill Boutin.

Please remember folks to keep me posted whenever you have news – simply contact me anytime, either call me at 306-443-2496, text 306-485-8561 or e-mail g.cowan@sasktel.net on the happenings that are going on in and around Alida as well as within your own family circle.

I will see that your news gets into a paper, appreciate your input. As we keep moving slowly forward do continue to keep a safe distance and wear your mask and stay safe.

Submitted by Betty Walker Time to report for the month of May news which, of course, isn't too much, but signs of spring are all around us.

A little moisture, greener grass and more family visitors. I looked out my window the other day and saw a robin hopping across the lawn, where there were two dandelions popping up - spring for sure.

We are delighted to be able to once more have two family visitors, seeing different faces and now the

Golf a round and “Challenge the Bear”

By Laura Kish White Bear Lake Golf Course is one of Saskatchewan’s finest 18-hole championship layouts, renowned for its scenic beauty and quality conditions.

There is much to enjoy over the course’s more than 6,700 yards of natural, tree lined fairways.

The course, which was started in 1986, is part of the White Bear Lake Resort and is set amidst a pristine old growth forest near the shores of its namesake.

Playing to a par of 72, off

three sets of tees, it features expertly groomed fairways on an elevated plateau of hills, lakes and ponds amid a lush aspen, ash and white birch forest.

The shot-maker’s course has expansive, rolling greens and the only white silica sand bunkers in southern Saskatchewan.

The course opened for the season May 1 wonderful golfing weather.

“We were steady all day,” states Gordon Petker, manager of White Bear Lake Golf Club for nine years.

MENTIONS OF ‘PIPELINES’ IN THE +700 PAGE 2021 LIBERAL BUDGET:

“The course is in excellent condition, it really wintered well and the greens look very nice,” says Petker. “We had a lot of positive comments on opening day.”

With the pandemic and everyone being in lockdown for several months, golfers appreciated the experience of their first round out that much more.

The club has somewhere around 150 members signed up.

“Since the pandemic, memberships are up and green fee play has been up,” explains Petker.

White Bear Lake Golf Club holds their men’s night every Wednesday, although a start date hasn’t been set yet.

The club normally does a number of tournaments throughout the season, First Nations events as well as corporate events.

They’re following the same protocol as last year for COVID restrictions.

“The best thing to do is to be as diligent as we can and maintain the safety of the public,” explains Petker.

White Bear’s Club has many features that attract golfers to their course.

“It’s a great layout, the conditioning is excellent and it’s very unique in the sense that every hole feels secluded…you can’t see

NOT MENTIONED IN THE 2021 LIBERAL BUDGET:

✔ “talent pipeline” ✔ “innovation pipeline” ✔ “pipeline for vaccines” ✔ “pipeline of personal protective equipment.”

Aerial view of fairways 12, 13 and 14 at White Bear Lake Golf Course. Photo submitted another hole from it,” explains Petker.

“The white sand bunkers are pretty unique as there are very few courses in Saskatchewan that have the same feature.”

Some of the best reasons a golfer should play a round or two at White Bear: “White Bear Lake Golf Course provides not only a great test of golf but it also provides the solitude and the ‘back to nature’ feel with all the birds and wildlife here. You’re getting the best of both worlds even if you’re not an avid golfer you just enjoy the

experience of the natural habitat.”

“We have a championship golf course, although we do have four sets of tees which allows people to enjoy the game from all calibres,” explains Petker.

Petker explains that last year the club instituted what’s called a family tee so they can play from a much more forward tee and enjoy the game more. This should make them feel less intimated for the less skilled golfer.

One of the biggest comments made by a customer was “they wish that this course

was closer to them” for the golfers who may have travelled a great distance to play a round.

A lot of people plan their summer golf trips around White Bear and some play both courses at the Lakes over a weekend.

Saturday may have been the perfect day for golfing but Petker states they’d certainly sacrifice the tee sheet for an inch of rain.

White Bear Lake Golf Club’s No. 1 rule for you is simply to “relax and have fun,” so come on out and “Challenge The Bear.”
