Manor Fire Department golf tournament raises over $3,000

By Laura Kish Manor Fire Department held a four person best ball golf tournament on Saturday, Aug. 28 with 15 teams entering for a total of 60 golfers.

Golfers enjoyed the beautiful afternoon playing on the Carlyle Golf Course.

Approximately $3,000 was raised with funds going toward outfitting the department’s new wildland truck that they purchased last month.

Although the tournament was really all about having fun, the foursome of Bradey Fidierchuk, Dylan Lachapelle, Dakota Rose and Gerhard Groenewald did come in with the lowest score of the day and got to claim the title of champions.

There was no grand prize given out but every golfer won a door prize.

“We had lots of support from all the businesses in the surrounding communities,” says Brayden

Rowley, Fire Chief with the Manor Fire Department. “They’ve all been really good to us.”

The tournament consisted of many different individual fun games on some of the holes.

The Manor Fire Department boasts 26 volunteer firefighters to which Rowley says “It’s awesome!”

The Fire Department has been ongoing replacing the firefighter’s equipment and get up to date with their turnout gear.

“That’s something that we’ve been working at for the past two years,” explains Rowley.

“We’re slowly adding new equipment to our hall as well.”

The department’s next goal would be to purchase a portable water tank.

“We’ve been very fortunate the past few years to tick off a lot of equipment from our priority list,” says Rowley and adds “It’s been going good!”

Southeast As win three of four at provincials The Southeast A's U15 AAA team had a strong showing at the Baseball Sask. provincial championship, going 3-1 and coming within a win of advancing to the semifinals.

The A's opened provincials with three straight wins, beginning with an 18-11 victory over the Northwest Prairie Pirates on Friday. Nathan Yunick hit two home runs and finished with seven runs batted in (RBIs) for the A's, who gave up seven runs in the second inning and trailed 8-3 but fought back. They managed five runs in each of the sixth and seventh innings.

Mathias Fornwald also had four hits in the game. The A's won their two games Saturday, 7-3 over the Regina White Sox and 8-6 in an extra inning over the Saskatoon Expos, a game the Expos led 6-4 entering the bottom of the eighth.

Jacob Mayer gave up one run in five innings against the White Sox. Kade Phillips hit a walk-off grand slam home run in the bottom of the eighth in the win over the Expos. Tayson Dietze had two hits and two RBIs. The A's used four pitches against the Expos.

That left the A's with a 3-0 record and put them into another game with the Expos to determine who would advance to the semifinal round. The Expos scored twice in the sixth in a 2-1 victory.

Yunick allowed two runs, both unearned, in six innings and struck out 10. Phillips came on to

Five hitters had a hit for the A's in the game.

Coach Blair Beck said the A's were able to do everything he hoped they would at provincials.

"We've had a really successful year, and we kept doing the same things this weekend," said Beck.

The top team from each pool in the round robin advanced to the semifinal round, as well as one wildcard team, but the A's lost the tie-breaker for the wildcard on runs against. The seven-run second inning for the Pirates in the opening game came back to hurt them.

Beck thought the game against the White Sox and the first contest versus the Expos were their best of the weekend.

"In the White Sox game, we got a really good pitching performance by

Jacob Meyer for that win, and the next game against the Expos, we had a full team win, finished off by a walk-off grand slam home run. I've never seen that before. A walk-off grand slam home run in extra innings."

It's a moment that Phillips won't soon forget,

Beck said.

The kids came a long way this year. During the winter, they were training indoors. The team was put together in the spring, and they were successful from the start.

The A's, who are based out of Alameda but have players from

throughout the southeast region, finished the season with a 24-9 record.

And they were 6-2 between a tournament in Saskatoon and the provincial tournament.

Only four players will be eligible to be back with the A's next season.

"It was a great year,

and the whole season worked out well.

I was happy overall with how everything went. I would have loved to have the chance to play one or two more games, but we really handled ourselves well. They're a great group of kids," Beck said.

Phil Reddekop showcases his artwork at the Artist Colony

By Laura Kish Phil Reddekop is the latest artist to showcase his work at the Moose Mountain Provincial Park Artist Colony.

Although Reddekop has visited the cabin in the past, this is the first time with his own artwork at the cabin.

Reddekop used to paint with oils quite a few years ago and then held off painting for awhile and started back up again four years ago, this time painting with acrylics.

He says painting runs in the family…his brother was a great artist and his sister does watercolors.

So it’s no surprise that Reddekop also picked up the brush as well.

Reddekop says he gets inspiration from photographs as well as so many of his ideas come from watching YouTube.

“There’s so many

artists who show their instructional videos and I’ve learned a lot from those,” explains Reddekop.

Reddekop has his favourite subjects to paint.

“I seem to do quite a few pictures of mountains, scenery and elevators. I also enjoy painting florals as well.”

“I enjoy painting from a photograph or something that just pops into my head but I’m trying to develop my own style.”

Reddekop spent the majority of his life as a carpenter.

He says he does very little carpentry these days as he is 75 now.

“The body doesn’t keep up to the brain,” he says.

He’s now taking the slower pace in life as a painter.

“I took Art Classes back in grade school and I’ve always enjoyed sketching and then dis-

Oxbow hosted their first swim meet in many years

By Josie Hlohovsky

Oxbow’s swim club, the Oxbow Seawolves, have received new life after hosting a swim meet for the first time in years.

The swim club held a fun meet at their pool on Aug. 8, with swimmers from Oxbow, Regina and Estevan attending.

With COVID-19 regulations and restrictions from earlier in the year keeping most tournaments and swim meets from being organized over the majority of the season, this meet was a last chance for swimmers to compete.

“Hosting a meet was a huge milestone for our club. We hadn’t hosted a meet in our town since 2012 or 2013,” said Seawolves head coach Lindsey McNab. “It was great to have a fun meet to allow our club to get a practice run for a real meet in the upcoming years.”

McNab, who grew up with the sport, has been coaching the Seawolves for three seasons. This year was different, however, with the COVID-19 guidelines and regulations for the majority of the season, rendering them unable to fully practice and, of course, compete.

“Our club was one of the few in Saskatchewan that operated during COVID last year, so we had one full year of practice. They were eager to race again,” she explained.

“Having these events allows our kids to reconnect with friends who they haven’t seen due to COVID.It allowed our swimmers something to work towards.”

The meet was held after regulations were lifted, and they had no trouble with crowds.

This swim tournament closely followed the Weyburn swim meet held in July, which a few athletes from Ox-

bow attended.

The Weyburn meet was an event that was held directly after COVID-19 restrictions were lifted, giving everyone a chance to settle into an old routine. The Oxbow meet, however, was a final chance for swimmers to finish off their season on a good note, and McNab says most of the Oxbow swimmers did.

The tournament, held at the Oxbow Pool, was filled with about 60 swimmers in total, of many different age groups. The Seawolves had close to 25 swimmers, and they made up almost half of the crowd.

“It was great to get back to a meet and enjoy the meet atmosphere,” McNab said.

“There are always hiccups at a tournament but with the help of members of our club and other clubs we were able to have a smooth meet.”

McNab also expressed her gratitude

and thanks for the volunteers and support the Seawolves received for the meet, and not just from Oxbow, but from all over southern Saskatchewan.

“We would not have been able to run our meet without the help of Dave and Twyla from Weyburn and Alicia from Estevan. These members helped us with Hytek and showed our meet manager the ropes. “(I want to say thanks to) our board and parents for assisting with set up, Southern Plains Co-op for donating taco chips, Reach Cafe for serving drinks and all the parents/volunteers that helped with timing or working the door and canteen.”

The meet was a huge success, according to McNab. “It was beautiful and hot, which is exactly what you want for an outdoor swim meet,” she said. “It was huge for our swimmers.”

are pleased to see the artist in action while at the artist cabin.

“I did sell a couple

of pieces while I was here,” says Reddekop.

That made it all worthwhile.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.- Nelson Mandela

Moe failed to lead this summer

By Murray Mandryk Whoever said the easy part is winning but the hard part is governing aptly described life in politics.

And one can surely sympathize with the predicament politicians like Premier Scott Moe often find themselves in, like the current one in which they have to appease diametrically opposed sides of COVID-19 issues.

But here’s the thing: There are some issues in which there is no political compromise that will keep each side a little unhappy.

Nor should there be on something like COVID-19 where the right thing is following the science and medicine — even if that means saying and doing things that some aren’t going to much like.

Likely, the smart long-term political move for Moe and his government this summer would have been to simply lead.

While it might not have been popular with the less rational who are still refusing to get vaccinated because of something they read on the Internet, it would have been widely popular to most. (Even those who can’t get vaccines for medical reasons might have likely appreciated.)

Moe needed to take a firmer stand this summer.

That is what leadership is all about. He needed to be more of a leader this summer and, at times, he clearly wasn’t.

But there’s also no denying that true leadership required Moe and company to do much, much more than politely suggest you should be vaccinated.

Leadership required them to be unequivocal — to send a no nonsense message that it would socially unacceptable for people to not continue to their part in the fight to stop the fourth wave of COVID-19.

They needed to talk consequences — not choice.

This was not the responsibility of the Saskatchewan Roughriders or their landlords at Regina Exhibition Association Ltd. (REAL) that’s responsible for Mosaic Stadium, Evraz Place and the Brandt Centre.

They really have no meaningful way of enforcing vaccine that — according to what Moe and Health Minister Paul Merriman have kept telling us — are matter of personal choice.

Accepting that no level of government could force people to take the vaccines, the province under the province under the authority of the Public Health Act could have imposed restrictions that would have required proof of vaccinations and/ or recent negative COVID-19 tests before entering large gatherings.

It was not up to REAL or the ‘Riders to impose such restrictions or perhaps further ones on maskwearing — especially at indoor events.

Nor should municipalities (towns, and small and large cities) or school boards been solely responsible for imposing vaccine passports or mask use on public transit or in hockey rinks, gyms and schools.

Yet this is exactly what has happened in the absence of provincial government leadership.

That we are consistently registering 250 to 300 COVID-19 cases a day in Saskatchewan with a rising death toll is disturbing. This is happening with threequarters of the adult population vaccinated — about five per cent more than the generously low goal set for first-dose vaccinations when they became among the first provinces to re-open everything.

It isn’t overstating things to suggest things are far more serious for the unvaccinated than they’ve ever been. Sadly, it was preventable with better leadership.

We needed leadership this summer that was adamant and relentless. We needed a government unafraid to follow the advice of its doctors and unafraid of taking a little heat for doing so.

Moe didn’t give us that leadership this summer.

When the messages don’t match

Shelley Luedtke I remember telling myself how differently I’d feel if I could just make it through the month of September.

As I juggled the excitement, nerves and trepidation of my first year of university, my stomach was churning on a range of emotions.

The last day of classes that month I held up as the benchmark. It meant I would have survived the first four weeks of class. But first I had to get through those initial days.

During the first week of classes, I had that ‘drinking from a fire hose’ feeling. The reading list for my political science class alone made my head spin. I wondered why no one else was feeling as out of place as I was. It was so unfamiliar. So intimidating. Of course many did, but in our need to put on a brave face, we acted as if we knew what was going on. We pretended we

belonged. The outside appearance belied the inner chaos.

Yet students aren’t the only ones who feel it. As a mom she waits … and worries. Worries about the text that might arrive describing the awful day her daughter is having. Worried that no text will arrive and wondering how bad it might be. Her daughter is bullied at school but it is she, as a parent, who is struggling too.

It’s her child. She has asked for help from local, district and state authorities. She doesn’t understand why they can’t do something more significant. Their talk is good but their actions less so.

She feels on edge all day at work. Then she waits for the text at the end of the school day that her daughter is now home.

Safe. It means she’s gotten through another day.

During the first days of university there were helpful people along the way — and some who were less so. I’m sure constructive information presented was presented, but orientation activities seemed to focus on opportunities for binge drinking. Weekly seminars led by graduate students were touted as a lifeline in our classes.

But one of my seminar leaders told us if we had any questions of him we could ask, and then he

went and sat in a desk and read a book.

We didn’t know what we should be asking. Another spent week after week lecturing us about ocean pollution.

An important topic to be sure, but it bore little relevance to the class the seminar was connected to.

As students, my friends and I made it through, but some of us wondered where we would have turned for help if we hadn’t had each other. We were accepted into this institute of higher learning based solely on our grades but when we got there it didn’t appear as if many felt it important to talk about academics and learning. Then again, a lot of people are facing this kind of mixed messaging and could be asking similar questions.

For instance, where are our children supposed to turn as we confound them with double-talk directives?

We applaud antibullying programs yet hold up athletes as heroes that model bullying behaviour. We seem to delight in celebrity feuds and allow social media channels to be flooded with threats and dehumanizing messages.

We want our children to grow up being polite and respectful yet we sit back and watch

politicians and newsmakers disrupt, interrupt and ridicule each other. We justify it as part of the process and few demand better.

We hope our children develop strong values and morals yet we allow them to be influenced by strangers. A 2020 survey found that while 42 per cent of parents said they were concerned about sexual and violent content, their teenagers were exposed to, and even more were concerned about who they were talking to online, less than five per cent put a limit on their phones.

Few transitions in life are easy so we should never underestimate what any of us experience as we enter different stages and begin new ventures. But it can be better navigated with shared outcomes and consistent goals. It’s why we need to be open about what we are truly feeling and what assistance we might need.

Better yet is to be aware enough of what is going on with each other so we can be the support they may not be able to ask for. But let’s be sure we are being consistent in what we offer, because our hope for each other should be so much more than just getting through. That’s my outlook.

Kipling Swimming Pool wraps up 2021 season

By Laura Kish Kipling Swimming Pool wrapped up for the season with various events held throughout the past week even though the weather wasn’t the most enticing.

The pool had a Junior Lifeguard Club that was free of charge which ran for an hour every day Monday through Friday.

The youngsters who attended learned what being a lifeguard

was all about.

They would get some education from the Pool Manager on life saving, practice some skills involved, for instance throwing out an assist for a ‘drowning’ victim.

They also learned how to do water tests to test for the chemicals in the pool.

They learned of signs to watch for whether a swimmer is in distress or not.

They learned a variety of skills needed to be-

come a lifeguard.

“After a week of learning about lifeguarding, two of the young individuals definitely advanced their interest in wanting to be a lifeguard,” says Susan Hengen, Leisure Services Manager, of her observation throughout the week. “It gave them that little push they needed to finish out their swimming lessons over the next few years and then to take their training.”

On the last day the pool was opened, they had their wrap up or season finale.

“We had a Build a Boat contest and once they were finished the building, we had a race,” explains Hengen.

Out of a variety of everyday materials the nine kids participating had a half an hour to construct their own boat and then a race was held to see whose boat would stay afloat and make it to the finish line first. They had to find a way to race their boats without touching them.

“So there was some good problem solving,” says Hengen.

The staff also organized a ‘Splash for Cash’ event for the kids. Lifeguards tossed coins in the pool with the kids getting their chance to dive in and keep whatever cash they found.

Now that’s a win-win day.

“We also did some relay races,” says Hengen “and a diving board contest.”

And that wrapped up the swimming for the 2021 season.

Hengen gives an overall summary of the Kipling Swimming Pool as follows: “We definitely had a noticeable increase in swimming lesson registrations. We ran four sessions that all ended up being quite full. One of which was absolutely packed! Our public swimming hours were quite often very busy.

Possibly due to the hot weather.”

“We did have a record number of private pool rentals this year,” says Hengen.

“People seem to be enjoying a hot summer and enjoying this time spent at the pool.”

People seem to be enjoying having the COVID restrictions lifted.

Excluding the COVID year, Hengen says by looking at the attendance, this was one of the pool’s busiest years.

“Compared to the past five years, our swimming lessons registrations were definitely the highest this year,” explains Hengen. “We had a high percentage of out-of-town people.”

“We had a lot of

“People were pleased with the service they got here,” says Hengen and adds “hopefully they’ll be back again next year!”

The lifeguards have all gone back to school or moving on to a career.

“It was a successful year,” says Hengen as she sums up the summer.

Stinkin’ Thinkin’ – or automatic negative thoughts Submitted by Envision Counselling and Support Centre Each of us has about 60,000 thoughts per day, and the majority of these thoughts are negative and seem to pop up out of the blue.

Psychologists have labelled these automatic negative thoughts, or ANTs. They appear in our minds both quickly and with intensity, making it difficult to challenge them. Like unwelcome guests at the picnic, ANTs can become overwhelmingly stressful, but can be managed with simple techniques and practice.

The most encouraging thing is that most of these thoughts are false, but when feeling really low or incredibly anxious, it is normal for these automatic thoughts to feel like they are factual. One of the most important ways to care for mental wellbeing is by challenging the negative thoughts.

Challenging our thoughts is much like learning a new skill; when learning to shoot a basketball we do not automatically have perfect shooting form. It takes time and practice to develop.

This is the same when starting to challenge ANTs; the more we practice, the easier it gets.

The most fascinating thing about our brains is that throughout life we can always rewire the way we think.

How do you challenge ANTs? A very quick way to challenge if a thought is true or not is to ask yourself “Will this matter 5-10 years from now?” If the answer is no, you are likely experiencing an ANT. A more in-depth method to practice is to pretend you have a mini defence lawyer in your head and ask yourself, “What is evidence for this thought? What is evidence against it?” or “Is there a different way of thinking about

this?” When it comes to “what-if” thinking, the best way to challenge it is to play the tape out to the end and ask yourself “What if it goes well?” Practise challenging your thoughts in many different ways to find what works best for you, and repeat until it becomes habit.

By learning to challenge negative thinking, we can gain freedom to take hold of repetitive thinking patterns and change the script.

This coping skill is not always easy, so it is important to remember self-compassion along the way.

You are not alone.

If you need someone to talk to, contact Envision Counselling and Support Centre to find out more about programs for connection such as Rapid Access Counselling and Bridging the Distance.

These programs accommodate both inperson and telephone needs. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 911.

His latest round of golf at the White Bear golf course was great especially golfing with family that he hadn’t seen in a while and reports were all had a good time.

‘Duck’ says he usually gets in five rounds of golf a week after his day job with PureChem.

“I try to play nine holes right after I’m done work just to reset after a hard day’s work! I might get 18 in on a Friday.”

He spends the majority of his golf rounds on the White Bear course, although he does get in some games at Carlyle and Golf Kenosee.

Duck started golfing when he was 13

years old after watching his uncle and then White Bear started building their own course.

“We got involved as high school kids picking rocks and clearing brush.”

“I quit golfing after being in a pedestrian accident a number of years ago and then I got back into it again late last Fall just as the season was ending,” explains Duck.

Playing the game became too painful for his shoulder and the recovery time was long but he’s lucky to still be walking.

“I take everything as a blessing now!”

Friends are glad to see ‘Duck’ Bigeagle back out on the course and swinging the clubs.

Duck had the elusive hole in one on White Bear’s No. 2 hole back in 1993. It was 148 yards.

“It wasn’t the pret-

tiest shot…it was a skullied iron that ran along the grass all the way to the green and into the hole,” says Duck.

It doesn’t matter how it got there…it was still a hole in one!

“I didn’t even see it go in but my playing partners did,” says Duck.

What is it about golf that you like so much?

“It’s just between you and the course!

It’s you and the club and the golf ball,” explains Duck.

“Whether I have a good day or a bad day…I’m just as happy if I shoot a 10 as I am with a 3.”

“To me, it’s more about just being out in nature, the outdoors and seeing the beautiful course and grass.

I just like the outdoor atmosphere.”

Walking would be great exercise but

‘Duck’ says he rides a cart because his golf partners all ride carts.

“If I walk then I have to walk a hundred miles an hour to keep up!” he says with a hearty laugh.

Duck says he golfs in Palm Springs every winter but he enjoys coming home to golf at White Bear.

“Out of all the courses I’ve golfed it’s one of my favourites,” explains Duck.

“White Bear has always been up there in both difficulty and beauty.

And the pace of play is second to none.”

“I love golf,” says Bigeagle.

“And my four children enjoy golfing as well so it’s a great sport to do together as a family.”

When Bigeagle isn’t golfing, he’s gone fishing! And he’s tried many fishing spots around the province.

Carlyle Golf Club news Submitted by Gord Paulley

The Carlyle Golf Club felt it was a good time to bring you up to date on how our year is going.

Our highlights are as follows: COVID-19 has been kind to the course for both 2020 and 2021.

Membership revenue is way up as are daily green fees, cart rentals and the like. We have hosted a number of smaller tournaments this year with more scheduled for September.

Groundskeepers Steve Polsom, Kal Harper and their crew have kept the course in excellent shape and we have some of the best greens and tee off boxes in southeastern Saskatchewan.

Clubhouse manager Terri Field and her friendly staff have done a great job in the clubhouse.

Attendance at our men’s nights Mondays

and our Ladies’ nights Tuesdays has been great. Since the fall of 2020, the golf club has been spending money on course improvements. New carpeting and blinds have been added to the clubhouse together with a paint job. This summer, we also completed major renovations to our clubhouse deck, including new patio furniture.

A good used fringe mower was purchased this spring and in July our main Kubota tractor was upgraded.

This past week, a motion was made to proceed with the drilling of a new water well.

The club assures you that we are not out of water but want a spare well drilled as a backup. All of these expenditures are being paid for from profits generated by the golf course in 2020 and 2021.

Our savings funds have not been depleted by even one penny.

With the recent rains and cooler weather, the course is in great shape and hopefully our season extends well into October. Thank you to all of our sponsors, private donators and the volunteers whose work

is greatly appreciated but goes unnoticed.

And finally, a reminder to all that our seasonending members’ tournament takes place on Sept. 19. Two-person best ball, please enter at the clubhouse.

Vehicle Care Mariah Brown makes a career as an autobody technician

By Laura Kish Autobody technicians make body repairs to cars, trucks and other motor vehicles using traditional hand tools and a range of specialty body repair tools.

A career in autobody repair can cover a number of different areas such as paint and refinishing, body and frame work, although paint is considered a separate trade.

Just ask Mariah Brown who owns Carlyle Collision and Painting. Brown bought the business in February of 2018 after working for the previous owners for 10 years. Brown earned her Journeyman papers in Autobody after four years apprenticing working at the shop.

“I really enjoy the painting side of the business…that’s what got my attention,” explains Brown.

Some may think it’s a tedious job and others say that women have more of an eye for it.

“We’re SGI Accredited so we do any SGI claims that involves the body of the vehicle,” explains Brown. “We do the autobody work and finish off with the painting.”

Some of the painting involves just getting the vehicle back to the way it was before although that’s not with every case.

“We’ve done quite a few custom paint jobs on vehicles,” says Brown. “We do lots of motorbikes, and I’ve done quite a few complete vehicles.”

The customer will bring in their own ideas and designs but Brown says she also likes helping people out with building trucks.

“We’ve done a couple of restorations,” adds Brown.

Brown has a very

Mariah Brown proudly stands alongside a truck that she just finished building.

Photo submitted by Mariah Brown interesting career with many stories to tell.

Some jobs may be considered more difficult than others but Brown says every project has its own challenge.

Brown sees herself at this career for many years to come.

When Brown isn’t at the shop with a wrench in her hand, she enjoys her acreage south of Carlyle she shares with

her boyfriend Lane.

In the summer, she enjoys golfing and spending time at the Lake.

“In the fall, I help my brother with the farming driving the

grain cart or swathing.”

They like sledding in the winter making a couple of trips out to BC. “I like to keep busy,” says Brown as she sums up her life in a nutshell.

Dar’s Impressions makes your vehicle look like new again

By Laura Kish Professional car detailing is the art and the craft of cleaning and restoring a vehicle to likenew condition.

Darlene Hoffmann who owns and operates Dar’s Impressions Custom Auto Detailing and Engraving out of Carlyle has been in the business since 2010.

Hoffmann had been working for Mel and Lorna Hill for a few years when he decided to sell the business and that’s when Hoffmann decided to make her move.

“So I just picked it up and brought it home!” says Hoffmann of purchasing it from Hill.

“I just decided that because my kids were still in school I needed to be at home and still working.”

So this worked out good!

In the summertime Hoffmann can do her work right in her own driveway if the weather cooperates. So when the temperatures rose to 38C, working on the pavement felt like 53C! And when it’s raining or otherwise, she parks her project in the garage, out of the elements.

Working from your driveway makes for good advertising! Passerby traffic just might stop in and book an appointment!

From when a vehicle is dropped off to sometimes up to 6 hours later, depending on the condition of the vehicle, when Hoffmann has the finished product ready to go to its owner she says it’s definitely a feeling of ‘satisfaction’ when the vehicle is cleaned

from top to bottom.

Hoffmann says she’s had some vehicles brought to her in ‘pretty rough shape’.

“The dirtier the better!” she says with a laugh. “It takes more time of course.”

Hoffmann says it makes her feel pretty good when one of her customers make comments such as “It looks better than when we bought it new.”

So that’s a feather in her cap!

Hoffmann says her customers are usually doing a ‘happy dance’ when they come to pick up their vehicle once she’s finished with it.

She has her repeat customers every six months or yearly.

Some of the most difficult areas to clean will depend on the make of the vehicle from the slope of the dash or the

space between the seat and the console.

Due to COVID, Hoffmann says she feels like she ‘lost her job’ with both the detailing and the engraving.

People were staying at home and cleaning their own vehicle and with the all surrounding schools and clubs not having any events happening, there were no awards or trophies to engrave.

Business has been starting to pick back up again.

“From June until now, I have been fully booked,” explains Hoffmann. “It’s been wonderful. All my customers came back including some new ones.”

Hoffmann sees herself in this business for many years to come.

“I’ll do it for as long as I can and as long as the customers keep coming.”

We do Vehicle Inspection Tires, Brakes and oil changes.

Alida weekly news Submitted by Edel Cowan We received more rain last week, putting a stop to the harvesting for a few days. Guys here decided that they would move out of the wheat fields and go into the canola fields as they were sure that the canola would dry before the wheat, since the canola was swathed.

They made a start with the canola, but a light shower and fog kept the combines quiet for a day or so and on Aug. 29 they finally got going in the afternoon. Let’s hope that they will be able to continue with the harvest with no breakdowns and no more rain. Good luck to everyone. he Alida Swimming Pool closed the doors for another year. Appreciation goes out to all of the workers and volunteers who gave their devotion and dedication to the pool. Hopefully we will see most of you all again next year.

Our Grade 12 graduates are now going or have gone off to their secondary schooling. Good luck students and enjoy your new home away from

home. Schools opened their doors on Sept. 1 – once more good luck to all the students and to the staff as well. Do stay safe and continue to be cautious. Have a good year.

The Labour Day long weekend is coming up Sept. 4-6. Hopefully everyone will have a good weekend and of course once again will hope that the farmers can keep moving forward and make a big dent in the harvesting of their grain.

Just a reminder that the Alida Library is still offering their books for sale, at a very reasonable cost. Just call Shelly at 306-485-7023 or myself at 306-485-8561 to set up a time convenient for you and we will meet you there.

Please remember folks to keep me posted whenever you have news on any happenings that are going on in and around Alida as well as within your own family circle. Simply contact me any time or e-mail me at g.cowan@sasktel.net. I will be sure to see that it gets into my column. I do appreciate all your input as it does help to make things interesting.

Theoren West competes in MJT Saskatchewan Finale

By Laura Kish The Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) concluded its successful 2021 Saskatchewan season in Warman with the MJT/ Golf Saskatchewan Order of Merit (OOM) Championship at The Legends Golf Club on Aug. 28 and 29 for the junior tour, and the MJT mini tour presented by the PGA of Saskatchewan on Aug. 29 for the U12 players.

Another record field, this time of 135 players from across the province, came to compete for titles in six divisions.

Spectacular scoring highlighted the MJT Junior Boys Division, where 18-year-old Theoren West elevated his game to a new level. The Wawota golfer fired rounds of 70 and 66 (136) to win low overall boys’ score and his division title.

Theoren West of Wawota is MJT Junior Boys winner.

“I felt confident going into the tournament,” West said. “I struck the ball well and I put the ball in the spots I wanted to

be in.” Regina golfer Will Blake, 17, recorded impressive scores of 71 and 68 (139) to finish in the runner-up position.

The role of masks in our lives One of the most challenging aspects of these past crazy months for this extrovert has been the isolation, but thankfully we have a large back deck that allows me to stand and chat with the great neighbours living on either side of us.

Last week, a lovely treat took place in our local grocery store. I was nearly finished cruising the aisles and double checking my shopping list to ensure I had picked up all the essentials, when a gentleman spoke to me.

“Hi Linda,” he said, “how are you?” Much to my embarrassment, I couldn’t remember his name. It wasn’t until he temporarily lowered his face mask that the connection took place.

“My wife and I walked with you on the track,” he explained.

After the reminder, we quickly covered our

Linda Wegner Words of Worth

faces again and finished a quick and muffled conversation but that got me thinking more about the role of masks in other aspects of our lives. In checking out references, I was surprised to learn that in both the Old and New Testaments, reference is made to them.

“When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face…” Exodus 34:33 (Living Bible) After spending oneon-one time with God, Moses found it necessary to cover his face because heavenly glory so illuminated him that the people couldn’t look

upon him. What a sight that must have been.

In the New Testament Jesus was speaking in this passage to those who were living hypocritically – demanding one set of behaviour of others but living in another themselves. Christ’s gentleness gave way to His stern warnings about their hypocrisy. “…You can’t hide behind a religious mask forever; sooner or later the mask will slip and your true face will be known...” Luke 12:1-3 (The Message) May God’s presence, not hypocrisy, be openly seen.

Lord. “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

Let us not be the “later generation” that drifts from the Lord’s way. Honor your grandparents in the faith: Sunday morning was church time, summer and winter, seeding and harvesting. The Lord’s Day was sacred.

The key to the culture and values of my

grandparents was in the Christian faith they passed on in prayer, song and traditions.

Grandfather Great Spirit, fill us with the light.

Give us the strength to understand, and the eyes to see.

Teach us to walk the soft Earth, as relatives to all that live.

(From Grandfather Great Spirit)

Grandfathers, priests and choosing the Lord

By Ken Rolheiser It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, sunny and breezy. My wife and I had been strolling down Main Street enjoying antique cars and street markets when we decided to stop for a soft ice cream. That is when it happened.

I had just sat down at the table when I noticed I had been splashed by water. The top of my pants pocket was soaked, with water on the surface so much so that the napkin in my hand became soggy. The water soaked through to my leg. It was a mystery.

There was no water on the bench, no water on the sun umbrella above us. The table was dry.

We checked everything several times. There was no apparent natural cause for the splash. I decided to reflect on this later.

In Abundant Gifts,

Diane Ebele recounts that when she was a student at college God touched her directly on a Massachusetts beach.

She was feeling melancholy and walking alone one star-lit night, avoiding the water because of the chilly air, when out of nowhere a wave came up to her, swirled water around her feet and disappeared.

She was 20 feet from the water’s edge and no other waves were near. “I stared at the sky and ocean…tears in my eyes and a smile on my face. I had been kissed

by God.” The love of God is with us in sad times and in happy times. If we are open to his love, we can often enjoy the little miracles of beauty in nature put there sometimes just for us. We may not think we are worthy of God’s special attention, but God thinks we are.

Earlier on this Sat-

urday described above, I had been meeting with our Knights of Columbus state deputy and in conversation I discovered that his grandfather was a Roman Catholic priest. After his wife died, John Riffel became Father John Riffel.

The vision of our grandparents has a major impact on our spiritual choices.

I have shared the story of my grandfather George, who wanted to become a priest back in Russia. His father told him, “You are strong.

You can work.” And that was that. But grandfather kept the faith and brought it with him to Canada.

Later he met with his grandson who was in the novitiate, studying to become a priest.

He asked him, “Will you become a priest?” My brother replied, “It looks promising.” My grandfather turned aside and

wept. Two days later he died rather suddenly.

The grandparents of Mary, Saints Joachim and Anna, prayed for God’s blessings when they were barren. Offerings and prayers in the temple were eventually rewarded with fertility.

Faith and prayer bore fruit in God’s plan.

In Joshua 24 we see the challenge for us to choose to follow the
