The Rusty Relics Museum – a community built and community driven historical hotspot

By Jessica R. Ryan

The history of Carlyle and the surrounding area is rich and insightful into the daily lives of the pioneers of the province. A detailed record of it can be found right within Carlyle at the Rusty Relics Museum.

The Museum was started as a student project in 1973. Students would set up their exhibits in the Royal Canadian Legion building at the time and dismantle it all in the summer and repeat the process all over again. It wasn’t until the 1980s when an old station was donated

by CN Rail, designated solely for the purpose of being able to keep the museum set up year round.

The museum now has a generous assortment of buildings at its disposal that were all donated by the community. The buildings include a caboose, a

one-room schoolhouse, a shed that is used to showcase pieces of old farm equipment, a station agent’s office, a bunkhouse that was once used to house railway workers, and a motorized jigger train that can be demonstrated on a small bit of track that had been previously donated by CP Rail.

The main focus of the museum is to showcase the history of the area starting around 1882, when European settlers first came to the area.

The museum features not only many outbuildings that either house or are original heritage buildings that are set up in a way that show what they looked like in their prime but also consists of two floors within the main building.

Altogether, the museum has around 12,000 artifacts, photographs, and fossils that are catalogued and set up to be displayed to and enjoyed by the public.

The museum, from the very beginning, has been a labour of love and dedication, not only for those who have been responsible for the museum, but also by the community itself.

“Absolutely everything in the place is donated. The response, if there’s something that’s happened or there’s something we need, it’s amazing how people will step up and help,” says Lauren Hume, the executive director of the museum who’s family originates from the first group of settlers who arrived in the area all the way back in 1882.

The museum is a home to artifacts of all shapes and sizes as its objective is to express the history of the community and what better way to do that then by showcasing family artifacts that would otherwise be without a home?

“I know that we’re getting a donation of

Nobody in the family wants it so we’re going to put it up in our shed that has all our farm equipment.”

While the museum

would be nothing without its exhibits that have been so generously donated by the community, it would not be able to stay afloat if it wasn’t supported by a committed group of individuals.

“We have a really good board of directors, an active board of

directors and that’s so important.”

The Rusty Relics Museum, as its name has been since its birth in 1973, is surely a place to visit if one is interested in knowing the history of Carlyle and area and the people who made it the way it is today.

The Bow Valley Jamboree will go on in Oxbow this summer

By Olivia Grandy The Bow Valley Jamboree, a longstanding annual live music event, is returning to Oxbow this August.

The event will take place on Aug. 7 at the beautiful Bow Valley Theatre south of Oxbow. The festival will showcase the rich local music that southeast Saskatchewan has to offer.

The Oxbow Arts and Cultural Committee is eagerly waiting for future COVID-19 guidelines to be announced.

At that time, ticket sales will begin, and advertising will amp up.

The Observer spoke to Oxbow Arts and Cultural Committee members Lori Moncrief, who manages publicity, and Megan Andersen, who handles social media. They emphasized that the show will go on even if restrictions cap in-person attendance. The committee is looking at offering the event online for the community and beyond.

Andersen spoke about the adaptations the committee

is considering for this year’s jamboree.

“With the times, we’re excited to be able to livestream or something like that for people who are far away, especially if we have reduced numbers so that people who are unable to attend can still watch,” she said.

“We want to provide the opportunity for people to still enjoy the event who might not be comfortable being in a public place,” said Moncrief.

Currently, the committee is waiting to confirm any musical acts publicly, but the event’s main objective has always been to provide upand-coming musicians with an outlet. The event also aims to highlight young performers and inspire audience members.

“Tweeners (performers in between the main acts) have been an important part of what we do at the jamboree. In the past, we’ve made a point of including young people,” explained Moncrief.

Additionally, the jamboree focuses on creating a

Cougar Corner – paper airplanes encouraged at the school Submitted by Dean Zacharias Students have been participating in a cohort competition that started last week.

First there was cohort Name that Tune. The next few weeks the student leadership team has organized cohort, socially distanced, paper airplane contests.

Each week is a different challenge: distance, accuracy and

hang time.

A new reporting system is being used this year, Edsby. Its purpose is to improve electronic communication between school and home.

When your child is unable to attend for any reason, please call or email the office or put in an absence through the Edsby app.

Contact the school if you haven’t received your password or are having prob-

lems logging onto the system. Remember, if you ever have questions or concerns to discuss with your child’s particular teachers, please email the teacher or contact the school.

friendly festival. We want to see kids roaming around and dancing,” she said.

Moncrief, a long-time volunteer on the Arts and Cultural Committee and a music lover, said her work is a way for her to give back to the community.

“The pandemic has kept us at home. We’ve been less connected. Some of us have been lonely, so it’s a place to come together and have our souls fired up again. That’s how I feel when I hear music.

I think it’s kind of a universal language.”

The Arts and Cultural Committee recognizes that the success of the jamboree is the result of community interest and support. The proceeds from the jamboree will help

the committee continue to put on other events for the community.

“Our committee is very grateful for the support that the community has given to us in the past. It’s rewarding to have people come out.

It’s rewarding to hear discussion about it in the community. The other day I was at the Reach Café, and I heard somebody say, ‘well, I sure hope there’s going to be a jamboree this year.’ It really touched my heart,” expressed Moncrief.

You can find more information on the event and links to social media at bowvalleyjamboree.org and connect with the Arts and Cultural Committee by emailing oxbowacc@gmail.com.

Stoughton student places third in national contest

By Greg Nikkel of theWeyburn Review Stoughton Central School Grade 11 student Jessica Baumgartner placed third in the high school category of the national Speaker’s Idol competition on Thursday, and will receive an iPad as a prize.

The national contest was hosted by the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies, and drew over 300 submissions from across Canada. Jessica ended up as a finalist in the Grades 9-12 category, and she spoke on the topic of sexual assault.

“I feel everything went very well. Honestly, I was amazed I even had the opportunity to be a part of it,” she said after the finals were held online on YouTube.

Baumgartner loved the comments made by the judges after her speech, and felt they gave her a huge confidence boost with their

encouraging words.

“Especially now I will be keeping my eyes open for speech opportunities,” she said.

The first judge, Dr. Samantha Nutt, said Jessica’s speech was “incredible,” and commented, “You started out strong and I felt you maintained that all the way through. It was brave, it was positive and it was powerful.”

She thought Baumgartner did well with a first-person scenario, then with general comments about the issue of active consent, and hopes Baumgartner will be able to give this speech again in other environments, “because I certainly hope that a lot of young men in particular get to hear your very powerful message.”

Judge Matthew Gottlieb commented also, saying Jessica’s speech was “spectacular,” and said he was shocked at her use of a Wiesenthal quote.

“I wasn’t expecting

it, and because of that, it grabbed me instantly and you didn’t let me go the entire time.”

He also noted she had a way of reaching her audience in a deeply emotional way, and said her speech “was well done, surprising and powerful.”

Of her speech competitors, she said, “Everyone had so much to say. I was definitely able to learn and really grasp what the other competitors were talking about, as well as learning the importance of their topics.”

Asked if she might go into the contest next year, her Grade 12 year, she said she will consider it, knowing now what hard work goes into selecting a topic and figuring out what to say.

Prior to the competition, Baumgartner said her principal forwarded an email to her about the speech competition, and while unsure at first about entering it, she was excited by the prospect of

being to talk about any subject she wanted.

“I chose to talk about sexual assault and how it’s still a problem, and how things need to change,” she said.

At first Baumgartner just submitted her written speech, and then was asked to submit a video of her giving the speech.

“They had a big Zoom call with all of us, and they had us say it again,” explained Baumgartner.

“When I entered this competition, I didn’t think I would make it this far. I was happy that I was able to enter,” she added. “It’s so thrilling that I made the top six.”

Baumgartner is part of her school’s student representative council, so she has done some public speaking through her role there as well as in some debate competitions, and last fall she was the MC for the school’s Remembrance Day ceremonies.

Each of the 11 final-

Jessica Baumgartner from the Stoughton Central School recently finished third in a national competition. Photo submitted ists (five in the Grades 6-8 category and six in the Grades 9-12 category) had to use the following quote by Wiesenthal: “The history of humankind is the his-

tory of crimes and history can repeat. So information is a defence.

Through this we can build, we must build, a defence against repetition.”

Taste the sweet and salty flavours of Kenosee Kettle Corn

By Laura Kish Who can resist the smell of freshly popped popcorn?

It’s here! The perfect combination of sweet and salty popcorn is bagged and ready for you to enjoy. Made fresh in Kenosee with wholesome ingredients and no preservatives, it’s a snack you can feel good about.

The Madill family moved from Vancouver

Island to Kenosee Lake last October. Dave was taking his first detachment with the RCMP in Carlyle.

“I stay home with the kids and I kind of want to do something on the side with them, and thought, well kettle corn sounds fun,” explains wife Emily.

And so began their business, Kenosee Kettle Corn, a little over a week ago.

Eager entrepre-

Kenosee Kettle Corn

neurs are her two children – three-year-old Amy and four-year-old Riley.

“It’s their job to put the labels on the bags,” explains Emily. “They wanted to help with the family business.”

“We have a giant kettle corn machine and we’re popping out sweet and salty snacks,” says Emily. “It’s sweet and salty popcorn.”

“The 80-quart pot makes four bags at a

time so we get on a roll and make quite a few bags,” explains Emily.

Their product is selling at the Co-op Grocery Store and Gas Bar in Carlyle.

They plan to expand to some of the farmers markets when they can.

“The kids love it ... they get free popcorn out of it,” says Emily, who adds, “they love having their own job and they’re pretty excited about being a part of the

business. They’re really excited about seeing it in the stores although the girls are adamant about keeping some popcorn for themselves.”

“We really like Kenosee Lake,” says Emily. “We have the lake and the trees so it kind of feels like home.”

“All winter long it’s been hard to make friends but now that the weather is nicer, there are more people outdoors and we’re seeing

more people,” says Emily, as they get set for a busy summer.

They say they have dreams to expand but right now they offer only sweet and salty, although they may branch out into different flavors in the future.

Until then visit them at the Carlyle Garage Sale on Saturday at the playground behind the Pharmasave, where they’ll be selling their popcorn.

“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”

- Eleanor Roosevelt

COVID-19 finish line remains unclear

By Murray Mandryk For months now, Premier Scott Moe has been telling us we are near the COVID-19 finish line.

It is optimism that’s been appreciated — and, often, much needed — in this seemingly endless fight.

Unfortunately, it might have also turned that finish line into a bit of a mirage.

It’s frustrating that we still don’t actually know how far away that finish line is or what we have to do to get there.

So maybe it’s now time to give us a better idea of where that finish line is.

In fairness, neither Moe nor any government in Canada should be blamed for its past inability to provide such specifics during something as unpredictable as a once-in-a-century global pandemic.

Moe has long said that it’s vaccines that will lead us to that finish line — a pronouncement met with a fair bit of skepticism.

The Saturday before the long weekend, the Saskatchewan Health Authority delivered a record 18,568 vaccines. And then on Sunday, we broke that record with another 18,995 vaccinations.

That’s equivalent to three per cent of the entire province in just two days — a rate, Moe proudly noted, was likely the fastest vaccine distribution rate in the world.

Does anyone recall when we enviously looked south of the border and marvelled at how quickly U.S. President Joe Biden was getting his country’s population vaccinated? Well, Saskatchewan and then the entire nation will soon surpass the U.S. in percentage of the population vaccinated.

Credit goes to Moe, and certainly the Saskatchewan Health Authority and health system, including pharmacies, for getting shots in the arms of people as quickly as it has.

But maybe even some credit should go to the federal Liberal government (yes, a difficult thing to do out here, given our valid frustrations with Ottawa) for doing a better job of securing vaccine supply than we thought when Moe and the rest were complaining we didn’t have enough vaccines.

Saskatchewan’s vaccine rollout story is even more remarkable in light of a recent Angus Reid Institute poll showing 24 per cent here – the highest rate in nation – say they are hesitant to get vaccinated.

This is partly driven by the anti-mask, antivaxxer crowd, but it’s also being driven by young people not thinking they will catch COVID, older people not trusting certain vaccines like Astra Zeneca, and First Nations people and new Canadians not having easy access to the drive-thru clinics.

Moe’s government needs to do more to address these issues.

Yet our vaccine success is driving down the COVID-19 numbers. Active cases and hospitalizations are now the fewest since March — numbers made even more remarkable by the fact we are sandwiched between Alberta and Manitoba where case numbers are still increasing.

Vaccines have been a literal shot in the arm, but all this begs questions: What is the province’s vaccination rate or active daily case count that will allow us to fully open the province?

Moe has been talking about filling Mosaic Stadium sometime after the CFL opens in the August.

What percentage of first and second doses are needed in Saskatchewan before we can see 30,000 at a ‘Rider game? What daily case count?

Moe and his government need to better define exactly where the finish line is.

Getting dirt under our nails

Shelley Luedtke We’re in our happy place now. Greenhouses are open. Cue the music because this is indeed the most wonderful time of the year. For my husband.

Normally I would wander through the greenhouses with him.

I love the way it fills the senses: the bursts of color, the fragrant aroma and the stillness I often encounter. There are a few conversations as people discuss what will grow well in certain spaces, but I love the quietness as I wander through the rows and take it all in.

I know very little about any of it. It’s my husband’s domain and that works out well for us. He loves all the work involved and I love the finished product. A match made in the best of gardens.

Last year and so far this year, I haven’t gone into the greenhouse with him. With

ban areas in need of this experience. Regrettably, even those who live in rural, agriculturallybased communities are becoming increasingly disconnected from the land and have little awareness of what it takes to grow crops. I am among them. But I’m learning.

The breadth of knowledge required by those who farm the land is vast. They are experts in crop science, topography, climate, weather, inputs, machinery, technology, history, economics and more. We would do well to show greater respect and acknowledgement of the importance of what they do.

We idolize and seek to please those that entertain us, yet pay much less attention to those who grow and raise the food that feeds us.

Which would you rather do without?

Perhaps the best place to start is to reconsider, or maybe experience anew, the incredible potential that exists within the soil. Whether you plant pumpkins or peonies or simply want to play, we need to spend time appreciating the land under our feet.

We have become really good at washing up so let’s go out and get our hands dirty. That’s my outlook.

feet make contact with soil or sand. Walking barefoot, playing in the dirt or burrowing our toes in it can feel so, so good. There’s just something about that contact and how it feels against the skin.

Soil often defines the culture and livelihood of a region. It determines what will and will not grow and has given rise to entire civilizations based on what could be produced. That connection is the subject of history, literature, poetry and art, as writers and artists seek to describe the relationship between people and the soil beneath their feet.

It’s important, and we seem to be forgetting just how much.

Intentional efforts to create urban gardens are meant not only to beautify neighborhoods and rehabilitate unused spaces, but also to encourage people to become part of the process; the clearing, planting and care of a garden as a way of connecting them to living spaces.

In many places the results have gone beyond flowers and vegetables.

It has raised increasing numbers of volunteers, built community, and introduced new generations to gardening for the very first time.

He was talking about our hanging baskets and I suggested it would be easier to buy the pre-planted ones that come ready to hang. While that works for me, it doesn’t for him. He said that even though they were beautiful it would take away from the joy of what he loves: getting his hands in the dirt, doing the planting and watching everything grow.

We used to plant a vegetable garden (well, we meaning him, of course). One year he was away for several days in early July so I decided that while our little girls played in the yard, I would weed it as a surprise for him.

As much as he appreciated my efforts, he had actually been looking forward to getting back to taking care of the garden because it would give him time and opportunity to think back on his meetings as he watered, weeded and got his hands dirty.

There were three students who were very successful in this year’s competition.

Jheza Lee Aliado won first in the district level intermediate poster contest, then went on to take first at the zone level and finish third at the provincial level.

Cayden Bowley won first at the district level for the junior poster contest and went on to take first at the zone level as well.

Zyan Diaz was second at the zone level junior poem contest.

It is a huge accomplishment for students to advance to the next levels.

Kipling School says it is very proud of their winners.

Alida news - farmers making progress on seeding Submitted by Edel Cowan

The Alida community extends sincere sympathy to the Kennedy family on the death of their father Hugh (late of Regina, formally of Nottingham) on May 8 at the age of 89 years.

He was predeceased by his wife Yvonne (2019), his parents Joe and Kathleen Kennedy, and sisters, Doreen Wilmot, Phyllis Millions and Joyce McKenna. Hugh is survived by his children – daughter Leigh Kennedy (Murray

Wale), sons Ryan and Scott, nine grandchildren and seven greatgrandchildren, as well as his in-laws, Doug Wilmot, Carol Thomas, Shirley Thomas, Yvonne Lipka and numerous nieces and nephews.

He worked for Mobil Oil for many years before taking over the family farm at Nottingham. A celebration of life for both Yvonne and Hugh will be held at a later date.

Once again the village has put out the flower pots along Centre Street to help beau-

tify our village. Please help by sponsoring a pot; just sign up to plant the flowers and look after them. Do this at the post office. It will be much appreciated by everyone. It surely does look nice to see all the different flowers that are chosen by those who chose a pot.

This past Sunday was an extra special one for me. First, my neighbour was so kind to come and till my garden in the forenoon (it hasn’t been so nicely tilled for years, so soft to work in). Then

later in the afternoon a daughter-in-law and three granddaughters came to deliver their Mother’s Day gift by helping to plant my garden – boy that surely didn’t take them long. This also included planting the garden potatoes, with help from son number one, who did some of the digging of the holes while the girls did the rest. The girls also helped transplant some of my flower pots and of course my flower beds as well.

This was a great week for our guys – they

finished their seeding this past Saturday. Now it’s only the cleanup of the machinery and all the other little extras that they find to do. I would imagine that a lot of the seeding has been completed or at least nearly completed. It has been a long dry successful season for seeding, maybe with some minor breakdowns but otherwise uneventful, thank goodness.

Time to wish a very happy birthday to all those who will be celebrating their birthdays this coming week

– Karlee Boettcher, Derek Campbell, Jennifer Peterson, Cheryl Harrison, Dennis Hull and Dorothy Zelionka.

I do hope everyone will have a great day and many more to come.

This coming weekend is a long weekend – Victoria Day, a sure sign that summer months are soon here. Enjoy the long weekend. Finally the trees are leafing out and turning green. The lawn is slowly growing, making one think of getting the lawn mower out of storage and putting it to work.

Seniors

Effective exercises for seniors Losing interest in an exercise regimen is a situation many fitness enthusiasts have confronted at one point or another. Overcoming a stale workout routine can be simple for young athletes, whose bodies can typically handle a wide range of physical activities. That flexibility allows younger athletes the chance to pursue any number of physical activities when their existing fitness regimens grow stale. But what about seniors who have grown tired of their workouts?

Even seniors who have lived active lifestyles since they were youngsters are likely to encounter certain physical limitations associated with aging. The likelihood of dealing with one or more physical limitations increases with age. Data in-

dicates that 8 percent of adults between the ages of 50 and 59 have three or more physical limitations. That figure rises to 27 percent among adults age 80 and over.

Physical limitations may be a part of aging for many people, but such obstacles need not limit seniors looking to banish boredom from their workout routines.

In fact, many seniors can successfully engage in a variety of exercises that benefit their bodies and are unlikely to grow stale.

• Water aerobics: Sometimes referred to as “aqua aerobics,” water aerobics may involve jogging in the water, leg lifts, arm curls, and other activities that can safely be performed in a pool.

Water aerobics exercises are low impact, which can make them ideal for

and don’t take up a lot of space, making them ideal for people who like to exercise at home but don’t have much space. Resistance bands can be used to strengthen muscles in various parts of the body, including the legs, arms

seniors with bone and joint issues like arthritis.

• Resistance band workouts: Resistance band workouts can be especially useful for seniors who spend a lot of time at home. Resistance bands are inexpensive

and back. Resistance bands can be pulled or pushed in any direction, which allows for more versatility in a workout than weight machines and dumbbells. That versatility allows seniors to spice up their workout regimens when things get a little stale.

• Pilates: Pilates is another low-impact exercise that can be ideal for seniors with bone and joint issues. Pilates can help seniors build overall strength, stability and coordination.

Seniors can experience improvements in strength and stability by committing to as little as 10 to 15 minutes of daily Pilates exercises.

• Strength training:

Seniors on the lookout for something more challenging than a daily walk around the neighborhood should not overlook the benefits of strength training. Seniors who participate in strength training can stimulate the growth of muscle and bone, thereby reducing their risk for osteoporosis and frailty. People with health concerns like arthritis or heart disease often benefit the most from exercise regimens that include lifting weights a few times each week.

Physical limitations are a part of aging. But seniors need not let such limitations relegate them to repetitive, boring workouts.

Berries can improve your memory?

Berries are a great source of antioxidants, fibre, vitamin C and several other nutrients. But did you know they may also support memory function? Here’s a look at how berries can give your brain a boost.

The role of polyphenols. For years, researchers around the world have been exploring whether the consumption of certain fruits can help prevent memory loss and other types of cognitive decline associated with aging.

Largest, oldest family owned/operated mobility medical business in Saskatchewan!

Several studies indicate that polyphenols, a micronutrient found in plant-based foods such as blueberries and grapes, might be the key. While more research is needed, it seems that polyphenols may improve long-term memory function and help delay age-related cognitive decline.

Which fruits to favour. In addition to being present in blueberries and grapes, polyphenols can be found in black currants, elder-

berries, strawberries, cranberries, blackberries and more. To reap the benefits of berries, enjoy them fresh, frozen or dried.

Eat them as a snack, add them to a meal or drink them in a smoothie. Alternatively, you can opt to take a berry extract supplement, but be sure to consult your doctor beforehand. To learn more about the health benefits of berries and other foods, book an appointment with a dietitian in your area.

Try your golf game in Windthorst this year

By Laura Kish The Windthorst Golf Course, now known as the Windthorst Country Club, was built in the mid-1920s by a group from Windthorst.

The golf course is laid out on land owned by the village, just east of the last street in Windthorst.

An early and remarkable development of the Windthorst Golf Course was the making of course hazards. Created were a series of elongated pyramid “hazards” made of sod laid something like brickwork, strategically placed close to the sand greens – some straight, some curved.

There were minor pyramids about a footand-a-half high, and if a player had the misfortune to have his ball come up against one of these hazards, he was in deep trouble.

The natural prairie grass supplied the cushion for the fairways. The bluffs, poplar, willow and buck brush were

also the hazards.

The sand greens this year remained a problem. The oiling of the sand used was not commonly known in those years.

It’s been said that sometimes, when driving off the old rubber mats, mounds of sand were used as tees, and there were sand boxes handy at most teeing-off places.

The area doubled as a sportsground during the late 1930s, although it was relocated in the late 1950s west of the rink.

Since those days, a clubhouse has been built, and a new executive and organizing committees have actively participated in membership drives.

When the course was first started, some found golf not to be their cup of ‘tee,’ chasing a small ball around a pasture, but since then the average single memberships have reached 100, and family tickets are at 10.

“We run on an hon-

our system, and due to COVID, our honour box was definitely up last year,” said Bernard Steele, president of the Windthorst Country Club. “Our attendance at the golf course was increased.”

One Windthorst resident commented that he sees a lot of golfers at the Windthorst course who are unknowns to the area, due maybe to golfers just passing through and trying out the course.

Skins games are held every Wednesday at the Windthorst course and the annual golf tournaments are extremely popular.

“The golf course hosted a Texas Scramble two years ago and hopes to hold the same again this year on the third Saturday in August and possibly turn it into an annual event,” explains Steele.

“The fairways are in good shape today because of the snow a few weeks ago,” says Steele and adds “because they’re not watered fair-

ways, we do rely on rain.”

“We plan to oil our greens soon so everything will be in good shape for the summer,” Steele says.

Steele goes on to say: “One of the main reasons a person should try the Windthorst Golf Course is that it’s economical for families. It’s a great price to golf the Windthorst course.”

“I personally think it’s a very beautiful course because of the established trees that line the fairways.”

“One of my favorite holes is number 4 … to look from the green back at the tee off and in evenings the shadows from the trees stretch across the fairway. That makes such a picturesque view.”

Windthorst Golf course is great for any skill of level golfer as they are not long holes. For families, it’s a great place to learn to golf as many students did way back when the school was in operation at Windthorst.

“There’s a group from Kenosee Lake who

Windthorst Country Club Golf Course. contacted me at the beginning of April asking if our course was open yet,” explains Steele “they couldn’t get on any other course at the time but wanted to get out and ‘warm up’ their golf swings.”

Windthorst doesn’t necessarily have a start date for their course. It’s more like when the snow has melted, it’s time to golf. Some have even been out there on Christmas Day but may have

used a colored golf ball.

You could say Windthorst has an all-season golf course.

In the winter months, cross country skiers make their way around the course for outdoor exercise and some families take cover in the bush for a wiener roast. People walk the course all winter for exercise.

So whether the temperature is 13 or 30, try a round of golf at Windthorst.

Municipalities share $25.7 million for rural roads The Government of Saskatchewan is continuing to invest in the improvement of rural roads through its Rural Integrated Roads for Growth (RIRG) program.

Phase three, taking place during the 202122 fiscal year, will see 69 rural municipalities (RMs) share $25.7 million in RIRG funding.

"The ministry has seen an engaged and enthusiastic response to the RIRG program," Highways Minister Fred Bradshaw said.

"This targeted effort improves the safety and quality of our rural infrastructure, strengthens partnerships with Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities … and creates

another outlet to aid the province's economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic."

Among the RMs to receive funding are: Mount Pleasant, $130,850; Reciprocity, $380,263; Browning, $500,000; Moose Mountain, $400,000; Maryfield, $450,000; and Hazelwood, $458,974.

This program helps RMs with the cost of constructing and upgrading their infrastructure, which in turn helps support local industries like agriculture, energy and forestry. The RIRG grants cover up to 50 per cent of each project's total cost, to a maximum of $500,000.

"The announce-

ment of expanded financial support for rural road infrastructure is greatly appreciated," Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities president Ray Orb said. "Economic recovery and funding to stimulate the provincial economy remains critical and this increased funding ensures our rural municipalities can contribute

re-building 100 roads over three years.

Over the three phases of the RIRG program, there have been 219 road projects approved, valued at $233.6 million with

$55.5 million in RIRG support. This includes 63 projects from Phases 1 and 2 that are currently active, valued at $72.3 million with $19.6 million in RIRG support.

In appreciation for paramedics, health care workers and each other alike

By Jessica R. Ryan

The pandemic has been quite the experience for all of us but there is something extraordinarily unique about the experience from the perspective of a frontline worker.

Jackie Blaise who has worked with Supreme Ambulance Care Limited since 2012, has been able to experience working in healthcare both before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

On the topic of the biggest changes in healthcare since the pandemic, Blaise comments that “overall, the PPE practices, that’s what is the most important change to what we’re doing.”

The new “normal” is what we’re all used to hearing now with all of

the COVID related regulations and practices, and it seems that the same goes for healthcare.

“I think as a whole, we learned where things were maybe lacking or, where we could have been a little more diligent. So I think in some ways things won’t go back to the way they were because we’ve grown. This has definitely been a year of growth.”

Change, though, is not something to be feared here. The changes society has faced this past year have made society more well-rounded and have given people a better understanding of things as simple as hygiene and human interaction. Moving forward in our lives, it is apparent that things are only set to improve within

society as the pain and discomfort people have collectively experienced as a society has brought us together.

“We have a really great group of individuals working for Supreme right now and everybody has such great attitudes. I can’t say any more good things about them, like I am just so proud of them and how they buckled down and did what they needed to do.”

The healthcare sector changed so much in so many ways in such a short amount of time that it was overwhelming trying to keep up with new regulations and new procedures that had to be followed.

There was certainly no time to fall behind even though it might have been expected considering everyone has just

been trying their best to acclimate to life in a pandemic.

“In the beginning of 2020, where everything kind of started, there were constant changes and I feel like that was one of the tougher things for the frontline workers. Just staying on top of the constant changes,” said Blaise.

It’s been a stressful and tiring year for frontline workers indeed but not all the strain was felt physically.

“The health region did a fantastic job of getting mental health courses out there and mental health support.

We were provided with a mental health centre if we needed to and it was just really fantastic,” says Blaise.

This past year has been one of growth, pain, and even loss for

some. Regulations may have seemed to be pushing us all apart in the name of personal safety, but that has not been the outcome. By creating physical distance, more room has been left to create a sense of emotional closeness to one’s co-workers, friends,

Preventive care and the pandemic Procrastination is not typically considered a good thing. But as the world spent much of 2020 confronting the COVID-19 pandemic, putting certain things on hold became part of the new normal.

In an effort to reduce infection rates, public health officials urged people to limit their in person interactions with people outside of their own households. As a result, many of the things people do on a regular basis, including seeing their physicians for wellness visits, were rescheduled.

It’s understandable that many people postponed preventive care and wellness visits during the pandemic, but it’s also potentially dangerous. For example, researchers with the Health Care Cost Institute found that childhood vaccinations declined by roughly 60 percent in mid-April 2020 compared with 2019. Other screenings and preventive exams, including mammograms, pap smears and colonoscopies, also declined by significant percentages during the pandemic compared to the previous year.

The power of preventive care is undeniable. In fact, while chronic diseases are among the most common and costly of all health problems, they’re also among the most

preventable. Annual wellness visits and early detection efforts like routine screenings for at-risk populations can uncover problems before they escalate into something more serious. In addition, annual physicals, which are provided free of charge through many health insurance policies, provide great opportunities for doctors to advise patients on their overall health and how to improve it if exams and blood work turn up any red flags.

Visiting a doctor during the pandemic As vital as preventive care can be, it’s understandable if people are hesitant to visit their doctors during the pandemic. But patients can take certain steps to calm their nerves about booking preventive care appointments during the pandemic.

• Schedule telemedicine appointments. The number of telemedicine appointments has skyrocketed during the pandemic. While the transition from predominantly inperson appointments to telemedicine might have been a reluctant and rocky one at the start of the pandemic, many doctors’ offices have since firmly established their telemedicine protocols. Patients who have not yet tried telemedicine should contact their doctors’ offices to arrange an appointment.

Food STore:

• Inquire about office procedures. Doctors try to keep patients healthy, not get them sick. Various medical organizations, have provided thorough checklists to help physicians prepare their offices to welcome patients during the pandemic. Patients can ease their concerns by

Keeping employees safe in the workplace The COVID-19 pandemic has taught the world many things, including the need to prioritize public health. Protecting those you rely on ensures they’ll be there when you need assistance.

Business owners must prioritize the health and safety of their employees. Statistics indicates that 5,333 fatal work injuries occurred in 2019, which marked a 2 percent increase over 2018. The most common causes of workplace injuries include overexertion and bodily reaction, falls, slips, and trips. When implementing safety precautions comes with a high price tag or is met with resistance by workers, it is up to business owners to dig deep and put protection over profit.

Various strategies can help business owners as they navigate a post-pandemic landscape that may require a new approach to employee safety.

• Recognize the threat of potential safety issues. Accidents will happen regardless of how much business owners try to prevent them. But prevention efforts still greatly reduce the risk of accident and injury.

Make a list of more common

dangers (falls or injuries from equipment) and less common ones (fires or criminal perpetrators). Once the list is compiled, develop a plan to reduce the risk of accidents on both lists.

• Perform risk assess-

ments. Conduct a risk assessment on your own or hire a third party to review the business and make recommendations. Note potential hazards and what must be done to remedy them promptly.

• Create a custom health and safety policy. Make a safety plan a key part of the employee handbook. Employees should be well versed in existing and newly adopted safety protocols and what’s expected of them in case of emergency.

• Be mindful of requirements. Keeping records of work-related illnesses and accidents and providing personal protective equipment.

Properly maintaining tools and equipment is another requirement.

• Utilize safety equipment and label hazards. Anti-slip mats on floors, properly locked cabinets for combustibles and other chemicals, warning

signs and labeling in hazardous zones, and guards or kill switches on heavy machinery can greatly reduce the risk of employee injury.

• Provide safety training.

Employees won’t know how to do their jobs safely without training. Routinely assess employees to ensure compliance and install a reward system to commend those who make safety a priority.

• Perform safety drills. Ensure employees know how to react quickly in emergency situations by routinely going over protocols, including emergency evacuation drills. Consult with law enforcement professionals if guidance is needed.

Safety should be a goal for any business owner. Providing resources, maintaining equipment, conducting safety assessments, and educating employees can make a real difference in reducing injuries.

How to give back to health care workers Millions of people across the globe donate to charities or volunteer as a means of bolstering their communities and helping the less fortunate. Such help is valuable no matter when it’s offered, but giving back in 2020 has proven to be an especially necessary endeavor.

As a global pandemic took hold during the winter of 2019-20, millions of people found themselves battling a potentially deadly virus, while millions more found themselves out of work as the economy came crashing to a halt.

Health care workers have been on the front lines in

the fight against the COVID-19 virus for months on end. Stressful working environments and concerns about bringing the virus home and potentially infecting their families have made the challenges of fighting the pandemic even tougher for health care workers.

in these uncertain times can be a great way for people to show just how much they appreciate the extraordinary efforts of doctors, nurses, EMTs, and others who continue to confront COVID-19 every day.

• Keep it simple.

Efforts to give back to health care workers need not be extraordinary.

Simple gestures like preparing a weeknight meal for health care workers and their families, offering to babysit on a weekend afternoon or tackle a few chores around the house can help exhausted health care workers catch their breath.

• Donate more than just your time and effort.

An actively engaged general public can reassure health care workers that they’re not alone in the fight against COVID-19 and other potentially deadly viruses and diseases. While blood is not used to treat COVID-19, various health organizations, have expressed concerns that hospitals will not have enough blood on hand to treat

accident victims and sick people who need blood to survive. Social distancing measures may be keeping potential blood donors away, health care centres are still urging people to continue donating blood so health care workers can meet the needs of patient care.

rus. By supporting such efforts and encouraging others to do the same, people looking to give back can send a message to health care workers that they’re supported and that their voices are being heard.

Health care workers continue to confront the COVID-19 virus every day. Giving back to these valued members of the community is a great way to show just how much their efforts are appreciated.

Kapell receives award for going above and beyond

By Laura Kish Every year the Masters of Physical Therapy (MPT) Clinical Education Program, School of Rehab Science, awards one rural and one urban award for physiotherapists who go above and beyond to provide exceptional clinical placement opportunities for the MPT students.

The 2020 rural award went to Tamara Kapell of Wawota, who has been a physical therapist serving the southeast corner of Saskatchewan for more than 20 years.

To be considered for a Clinical Instructor in Physical Therapy Clinical Education Award, they must have a history of high professional standards in the clinical education of physical therapy students over a period of at least five years, gaining the respect of colleagues and students along the way.

Kapell was nominated by Peggy Proctor, academic lead clinical education and community affairs on behalf of the MPT Clinical Education Program at the School of Rehab Science. In her nomination letter, Proctor writes: “In my capacity as academic lead clinical education and community affairs, I have known Tamara for several years in her roles as a physical therapy student, clinician and clinical instructor. Tamara works as a

community therapist in the southeast corner of the province, and readily volunteers to serve as clinical instructor for PT students in the Kipling / Arcola area (former Sun Country Health Region).

“When Tamara is asked to consider a student placement in an upcoming clinical course she is unfailingly positive about the possibility and tries to arrange her schedule so that it can be done. Tamara goes out of her way to seek other resources, for instance from her colleagues, to try and make a placement available for students.

“She obviously enjoys the clinical instructor/preceptor role, and her teaching skills are evidenced by the strong, positive mentoring relationship she achieves with her students.

“Tamara is a committed and positive individual, and these qualities make her a great person to interact with – for faculty, students, and colleagues alike. She expresses a keen interest in clinical teaching, and invests significant effort in making the clinical experience as rich as possible for each student.”

Rebecca Lascue was also delighted to write a letter of support for Kapell’s nomination: “I graduated from the master of physical therapy (MPT) program in 2018; Ms. Kapell was my clinical instructor

during a four-week clinical placement in October 2017. Ms. Kapell created an incredibly supportive and encouraging learning environment, helping me to develop and gain confidence in my emerging skills as a physical therapist. Moreover, her passion for the profession and caring approach to patient care provided me with an example of the type of physical therapist that I aspire to be. I am grateful to have had her as a clinical instructor, and am honoured to consider her a mentor.”

Devon Borrowman, a member of the MPT class of 2020, showed her support: “As a student, I was fortunate to have Tamara Kapell as my clinical instructor.

Throughout my time in the Arcola/ Kipling area, clients and colleagues would mention how wonderful Tamara was and that I had a great teacher. They were right, she was a great mentor – she challenged me and greatly contributed to the development of my clinical skills. Her clinical expertise and kind demeanour provided a great learning environment where I was able to gain valuable clinical experience and develop as a professional.”

So why did Kapell choose physical therapy as her career?

“I knew since I was a kid that this is what I wanted to do,” explains 21054MM0

Kapell. “I had sports injuries as a kid so I had worked with physio then and I thought the therapist I worked with had the best job.”

Following her five years of training and a few years into her own career as a physical therapist, she became a clinical instructor where university students learn alongside therapists for their hands-on training while the therapists are treating their own patients. Students will do a five- or sixweek placement before they graduate.

Kapell works collaboratively with the School of Rehabilitation Science in curriculum and/ or program development. She has served as a positive role model for students and has demonstrated productive and positive student-mentor relationships as attested by students.

“The university really likes to give the students a rural placement because they get to see a really wide variety of different ages, different conditions and work in a lot of different facilities,” explains Kapell. “The students gain a good amount of knowledge in a lot of different areas.

“It’s interesting to have the students work alongside me because normally I work all by

Tamara Kapell of Wawota. Photo submitted myself so it’s great to have someone to bounce ideas off of.”

“A lot of the students I taught are now colleagues of mine so that’s nice,” says Kapell. “I have former students working in the southeast area as well. Lots of them have ended up in rural practice.”

What does receiving this award mean to Kapell?

“I enjoy doing what I’m doing but I don’t it for the recognition, although it’s really nice to be recognized by your peers because they’re a pretty amazing group of professionals. I was honoured for sure.”

“It was nice to be able to share my knowledge with the students,” says Kapell. “After 21 years, I still really like what I do.”

So obviously Kapell chose the right career for herself.

When she isn’t at work, she says she’s a “very outdoorsy person.” You may see her riding her bike, cross country skiing or kayaking and all other outdoor sports keeps her busy. Kapell and her husband Paul enjoy skiing and snowboarding when they can.

The couple has two boys, ages seven and 10, who both play soccer, with mom coaching both teams.

Kapell is very humbled and feels she’s not deserving of the Clinical Instructor in Physical Therapy Clinical Education Award, but it’s apparent that her colleagues think otherwise. Congratulations!

Envision marks Sexual Violence Wawota weekly news – a well-deserved honour Awareness Week for a volunteer The Envision Counselling and Support Centre is marking Sexual Violence Awareness Week from May 17-21.

Sexual Assault Services of Saskatchewan (SASS) is taking the lead for this weeklong campaign and Envision is eager to take part.

This year’s theme is Champions for Children and focuses on creating a culture of belief around child sexual abuse in Saskatchewan. The primary audience for this campaign is community caregivers.

Community caregivers are individuals that are a part of the extended community that care for a child outside of the home, including neighbours, family, friends, babysitters, daycare workers, teachers or coaches.

“These are the people

that cultivate close relationships with children in the community and this week is designed to support them,” said Christa Daku, executive director at Envision. “We want to help them recognize the signs and symptoms of abuse, learn how to create safe spaces for children and know how to respond to a child who discloses abuse.”

Understandably, this topic can leave many feeling helpless and devastated when faced with the harsh realities that children experience. According to the Government of Canada, one in two girls and one in six boys will experience some form of sexual abuse, assault or exploitation before the age of 21.

Daku said that only through collective efforts can society approach the magnitude and complexity

of sexual violence, and find a way towards a future where it can be prevented before it happens.

“Child sexual abuse has varying degrees of impact on people’s lives,” Daku says. “We want to honour those who are directly affected and those who provide support for survivors of child sexual abuse, as well as recognize the importance of bringing education and awareness to this issue.”

This campaign aims to shift cultural attitudes and beliefs, dissolve myths and misconceptions and help with understanding a community member’s duty to report child sexual abuse.

Learn more on these topics and join the conversation with Envision Counselling on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and SASS on Facebook and Instagram.

Search and Rescue ready to recruit and train new members

By Ana Bykhovskaia The past year prevented the young Southeast Saskatchewan Search and Rescue (SESKSAR) chapter from many of the regular activities they would have otherwise.

Nevertheless, a lot of progress was done and now the volunteer organization is ready to move forward.

The 2020 outcomes were discussed during the virtual annual general meeting on May 13, with 13 people present.

Members elected the SESKAR executive and board of directors. Katia Bigney was elected as president, Dan Hardern and Mike Meyer became vicepresidents. All were elected by acclamation. The secretary and treasurer positions remained vacant at this time.

The new board of directors consists of Alex Critikos, Leanne Strokov, Mickey Quigley and Derek Leyden.

During the meeting, the members accepted the new constitution, bylaws and policies developed by the board of directors in 2020.

“Creating three documents that have the scope that these three do takes quite a while. I lost track of the amount of meetings we had but it had to be at least somewhere around 10 to 15 meetings. At a time, we would just take one segment of one of these and we would go through it, draft it, suggest revisions, take a look at how it fits our needs in the southeast and over a period of several months, we were able to put in place these draft policies. So for the directors that

worked on this, thank you very much for your time and your commitment,” Hardern said.

“I would like to thank our SESKSAR board of directors for their time and effort in creating, revising and editing these documents that will become the administrative foundation for our organization going forward,” said Bigney.

Over the past year, the organization lost some members due to various reasons and is now ready to recruit more volunteers that would like to join. The application form can be found on Southeast Saskatchewan Search and Rescue Facebook page. New members can go through training and become active SAR volunteers, join as a part of the active support group or help out with one of the few committees pushing the organization forward.

During the meeting, Strokov, who spearheads the active support group project, explained that these are the members responsible for everything that’s happening in the background during SAR operations.

SESKSAR is planning on getting the next group of volunteers going through the basic search and rescue training. The theoretical part will be done virtually over several evenings, and the hands-on training is to happen in person with safety measures in place. Also, certified members will start practising more to maintain and improve existing skills.

Another project that Strokov is currently working on is Lifesaver, which is currently run only by the Saskatoon SAR chapter in the province.

“The long and the short of it is it’s to help

with the elderly in our community, or those that may have medical conditions that may come susceptible to high risk of being lost in their environment, if they leave their facilities or their house. It is a wristband that goes on their wrist,” Strokov said, adding that Carievale and Carnduff already expressed interest in it.

The volunteer organization already does the Adventure Smart training, which is aimed at teaching kids and teenagers some basic survival skills in different environments.

Some of the members received the special training to be able to deliver the preventative program and also teach others to become trainers. Hardern, who chairs the Adventure Smart committee, said that SESKSAR can now do the presentations virtually and is accepting requests from

schools and community groups in the area.

The fundraising and public relation activities had a slower year due to the pandemic as well, but the organization still received a few significant donations and continued working on the incident command trailer while moving forward with other equipment.

“The command centre had the counters and cupboards put in,” reported Leyden, who co-chairs the equipment committee along with Quigley.

The organization received a donation of two smart generators

to power the two trailers when needed. Next on the list is four GPS units and further progress with the incident command trailer.

The canine unit started training in May. On average it takes about two years to have a dog trained to be a searcher. Ten units from Regina, Prince Albert, North Battleford and southeast Saskatchewan will have their first practical course May 29-30 in the Carnduff area.

The chapter is currently also working on creating the first in Saskatchewan equine unit.

God’s house is still on fire after Easter Submitted by Ken Rolheiser A woman was cooking something in the oven when it caught fire and filled the house with smoke. She called 911 and screamed, “Help, my house is on fire!”

The crisis manager inquired, “How do we get to your house?” The woman said, “Da! Obviously, in your big red truck?”

As a child, I remember the urgency of our neighbour’s house catching on fire during a nasty Prairie blizzard at night. Action was immediate. The horses were hooked to the sleigh and my father and brothers made a bee line for the blaze on top of the hill. Sadly, the senior Norwegian couple perished in the fire.

The Japanese have a parable about a man who lived on top of a mountain. One day he sees a huge

tsunami coming from the sea. He notices all the people on the beach having a picnic. His shouting and waving were not noticed, so the good man set his beautiful house on fire.

“Let’s climb the mountain and help our neighbour put out the fire,” some said. Others were having so much fun and made excuses, “The mountain is too steep.”

The ones who climbed the mountain were saved and the others were swept out to sea and vanished.

Our churches today are experiencing a faith crisis. Many people are having fun playing and are distracted by the world, and have stopped attending to their spirituality. It is time to climb the mountain.

The New Jerusalem sits on a high hill and occasionally we hear messages from the mountain that say, “God is love.” But we are having

so much fun, and when we are working, we’re too busy to see the arms waving and prophets shouting.

Sometimes God gives us a nudge, a reminder that he loves us and that he is still in charge. The story is told of a pastor who was working late one Saturday night and decided to call his wife before he headed home.

It was 10 p.m.

She did not answer. He let it ring many times, thinking how odd it was that she didn’t answer. Finally, he gave up. He wrapped things up at his office and headed home.

He asked his wife about the call and she said, strangely enough, that it had not rung at their house.

On Monday the pastor received a call at the church office, on the phone he had used on Saturday night. The man that he spoke with asked why he had called on Saturday night. The pastor couldn’t figure

out what the man was talking about.

Then the man said, “It rang and rang, but I didn’t answer.” The pastor remembered the mishap and apologized for disturbing him, explaining that he’d intended to call his wife.

The man said, “That’s okay.

Let me tell you my story. You see, I was planning to commit suicide on Saturday night, but before I did, I prayed, “God if you’re there, and you don’t want me to do this, give me a sign now.”

“At that point, my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID, and it said, ‘Almighty God’. I was afraid to answer.” The church that the pastor attends is called Almighty God Tabernacle.

The Easter Jubilee of celebration continues. God is urgently inviting us to the renewal that continues to save us.

Alice was predeceased by infant daughter Laverne in 1949 , her husband Martin in 2000, and all of her and Martin’s siblings.

Alice (Henderson) was born on the farm at Manor on September 23rd, 1920, the fourth child in a family of eight. She attended school at Winterbourne, Salem and Manor and the attended Normal School in Regina. She taught for two years before her marriage to Martin on July 21st, 1943. She loved teaching and taught for many years in Manor starting in 1953. She attained 1 year of University by attending summer school and correspondence classes. She taught Shirley for Grade 3, Joyce for Grades 1 and 2, Twila while subbing and Darren for Kindergarten. After retiring from teaching she worked casually in Manor Town Office, did some substitute teaching and tutoring.

Alice was a willing helper to Martin on the farm. They built a new house in Manor in 1966 and had time to travel, enjoying many holiday trips with family and friends seeing all of the Canadian provinces and many of the US states. Alice and a friend also enjoyed a 6 week holiday in Australia and New Zealand in 1998. Alice lived in Manor until January 2015 when she moved to The Villa in Maryfield. In June of 2017 she moved to Moose Mountain Lodge in Carlyle where she received excellent care until her passing. She celebrated her 100th birthday during the Covid pandemic and still enjoyed cards, jigsaw puzzles, reading, visiting and a hot cup of tea. Alice was very proud of her family and always enjoyed visiting with all of them and anyone who stopped to visit her.

Although her time here on earth has ended, we have many wonderful memories to cherish.

Those who die don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday.... unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and forever dear.

A very sincere thank you to Rev. Michelle Moore for her comforting message, to Wayne Orsted from Orsted Funeral Home for his help and guidance. A special thank you to MML for the wonderful care mom received while she was a resident. She enjoyed her time at MML and made many friends among the residents and staff.

Shirley, Joyce and families

Lions receive a donation The RM of Moose Mountain and the Town of Carlyle presented a donation from their capital grant program to the Carlyle and District Lions Club. Funds will be used for the installation of the new scoreboard at Lions Park.

More than just a number Luis Benuel wrote: “Age is something that doesn’t matter, unless you are a cheese.”

Now that’s encouraging. If you’re neither brie or an edam, age doesn’t matter that much. Having said that, numbers do.

Consider the following: What’s the difference between eight and 18? Ten, right? For me and my household, it’s not that easy. Although it’s still 10, when it comes to blood sugars, the difference is between good and definitely not good.

On the street where we live, the speed limit is 50 kilometres per hour.

Obviously too many driv-

Linda Wegner Words of Worth

ers haven’t figured out that 50 is supposed to be the maximum speed, not the starting point.

Let me say right off that I’m not at all implying that I am into making life decisions based solely on numbers, nor do I base my spiritual beliefs on combinations of numbers, but our household emphasis on blood sugar numbers these

past weeks along with my daily reading through the Old Testament has made the matter of numbers of great significance to me.

Regarding records of centuries of Judaic history, I confess that I’ve found it difficult to plod through the accounts of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people killed out of revengedriven military forays

or struggles to gain or maintain power. Kill the competitors, be they human or divine, many or few. In between all that, worship whomever strikes your fancy.

Someone recently related an illustration they’d heard about the type of relationship we can have with God: “Is it Jesus and me or is it Jesus in me?” I know I’ve experienced both, depending on circumstances, but making Him Lord in every phase of my life makes Him number One. His love and sacrificial gift of forgiveness can’t be surpassed. Let’s make Him the first and last in our lives!

Business giving back to create a more beautiful community in Redvers

By Laura Kish Bill Slykhuis of B & A Holdings Ltd., a landscaping company out of Arcola, and Tyler Englot’s GMG Smokers held a pulled pork lunch in Redvers recently, with all proceeds going towards a community beautification project.

B & A Holdings has been in business since 2006 and Slykhuis decided it was time to give back to a community that has been so good to him.

"I don't mind donating to communities

providing I get work in return,” he said.

“We did a donation to the community and put on a pulled pork dinner, raising $1,200, which went towards the community beautification,” explains Slykhuis.

“I put this lunch on as a thank you to the community of Redvers for the business they gave me and in return gave back to the community.”

B & A will be applying a rubber layer over the existing sidewalks in downtown Redvers for the project.

“I look at it in the way that the community has given me a lot of business over the years so I feel this is one way I can give back,” explains Slykhuis.

In addition, B & A Holdings is offering the businesses and residents of Redvers a half-price sale for a limited time.

For example if a resident is wanting a step replacement that regularly costs $1,000, they would pay only $500 with B & A paying the rest.

The company will resurface the existing step or sidewalk with a

rubber substance.

“The product has a five-year warranty but I believe in the product so much that I go beyond that,” explains Slykhuis.

Bonnie Rutten, chief administrative officer for the Town of Redvers, explains that the town has a grant to do the repairs but decided to add flowers.

“With everyone having to stay indoors and stay at home, we decided to ramp up the community through the beautification project.”

“Let’s actually make it a nice place to stay.”

Maryfleld Sunrise Villa news Submitted by Betty Walker Another week has come and gone and we are enjoying more summer-like weather, which finds a few people more outside enjoying the courtyard, watching the tulips and daffodils bloom and seeing the leaves opening up almost before our eyes.

The grass has been cut, making everything more colorful than the winter drab.

We were very pleased to have some entertainment this week in the courtyard. Nineyear-old Tydus Neufeld and seven-year-old sis-

ter Annabel Neufeld played us several selections on their violins and did so well. Their mother Marla works here.

Also their music teacher Komella Ens played several hymns that were so beautiful, what a treat. Komella worked here a few years ago and she took several requests from the residents. Thank you for coming, we so enjoyed it.

We also had courtyard singing with Mary Thiessen on her guitar on May 12.

Things are starting to open up a little more for visitors.

Have a sports score or story we want to hear about it!
