Fire destroys beloved Kenosee Lake business the Moosehead Inn; many rally around owners

By David Willberg The Moosehead Inn at Kenosee Lake has been one of the go-to restaurants and party destinations in southeast Saskatchewan for decades, a place where people created fond memories while surrounded by friends.

It was not only popular with southeast Saskatchewan residents, but those from outside the region who were visiting Kenosee Lake and Moose Mountain Provincial Park. It was even purported to have a resident ghost, which was widely promoted by the Moosehead and documented in the book Haunted Saskatchewan and by other sources.

But the Moosehead is gone, after a fire destroyed the building Friday night.

Nobody was injured in the blaze, and no surrounding structures were damaged. A cause of the fire has yet to be determined.

Moosehead owner Dale Orsted, who lived across the street from the building, said he was at home when the fire occurred.

His wife Nelly came home just

after 11 p.m. after making pizza dough; a co-worker left the restaurant with her. At the time of their departure, they didn’t smell any smoke in the building.

“It wasn’t half an hour later, maybe 20 minutes later … and you could hear (something like) somebody knocking down trees, or some big chopping sounds, and I thought ‘What the heck is that?” said Orsted.

When the Orsteds looked outside, they could see a fire coming from the upstairs cabaret area. They called the fire department and grabbed a hose, but by that point he said the fire was pretty large and growing.

Fire crews would remain at the scene until Saturday morning, and they would have been there even later if a large trackhoe wasn’t called in to help with knocking down the building and other efforts.

Due to the extent of the damage caused by the fire, Orsted doesn’t believe they’ll ever know the exact cause, but he suspects it started in the beer cooler in the bar. Earlier in the evening, one of the pizza cooks thought he heard a big door

slam upstairs in the cabaret area.

“They went and looked, and they went and looked, and they thought maybe it was the ghost slamming doors,” said Orsted. “So they didn’t know what was going on. I think maybe the compressor blew up, that would have been the noise, when it started, and then it took maybe an hour or so for the plugin to overheat and start some stuff around it to catch fire.”

One twisted up bottle of rye that was about half full was found at the site. Everything else was a total loss.

Orsted is thankful that the weather conditions were ideal that night. There was a light breeze blowing towards the lake, so the breeze blew the embers towards the water. He believes they were fortunate the fire didn’t damage any neighbouring properties or nearby trees.

The heat from the fire melted the mailbox and an outdoor thermometer on his house.

The night of the fire marked the first Friday in nearly two months that the Moosehead cabaret area wasn’t open. The

As for the restaurant, located downstairs, it was open four days a week, from

Thursday to Sunday.

Reaction on social media was swift, with people taking to Facebook and other platforms to share their memories of great meals in the restaurant and fun times at the cabarets.

Gordon F. Kells High School Cougar Corner Submitted by Nancy Parker It’s that time again – we are back to school. After an exciting start, staff and students at Gordon F. Kells (GFK) High School have settled into a new year of classes and learning.

We would like to introduce a few new faces on the GFK staff. Georgia Dangstorp is teaching Grade 7-9 English language arts (ELA), art and careers. Diana Osiowy has taken over the science lab, teaching the 9-12 sciences and a workplace math. Klair Karmazinuk is in our building every second morning to teach Grade 10 ELA and help with the response to intervention program.

Extra-curricular sports are up and going as well. Cross-

country training has begun, as well as golf and volleyball practices. Senior golf districts were held in Estevan this week – there are four boys competing. Junior golf districts are being held in Redvers on Sept.

18 with five students competing from GFK. Fitness club is being held Tuesday and Thursday at lunch and Wednesday at 7:45 a.m. – this club is open to students of all fitness/activity levels. Come on out.

The senior girls volleyball team, coached by Trent Johnson and Sarah Campbell, co-hosted the Mega Volley XI tournament this past weekend, with teams from 12 different schools competing.

Please encourage your child to be active in extra-curricular activities this year, all of which are a go. The student

Diana Osiowy leadership team and Students Against Drunk Driving meet regularly – these groups help promote student involvement and engagement. Hats for a Cause happened Sept. 16 – students paid a dollar to wear a hat and the money raised goes

to a worthy cause.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your student’s classroom teachers. Regular communication between the school and home is very important. Once again, we will be using the

province-wide Edsby system as a communication and reporting platform.

There have been a few hiccups this year rolling out the program, but we expect to be sending out invitations to connect in the near future.

GoFundMe campaign started for Moosehead owners « A1 from the locals, and a lot from the staff and customers,” said Orsted.

Some people who have been taking pictures of the site have stopped to talk to him.

“It’s nice to hear that they cared,” he said.

Orsted said they will clean up and fill in the site and try to sell the property. He won’t be reopening the Moosehead, but he hopes someone will resurrect the business.

“We have lots of property, and we’ve got adjacent property, and you could build a pretty big building there, even bigger than before. It’d be nice if someone did, because Kenosee really needs another restaurant. In the summertime, when it’s so busy, the ones that we have now

are jammed full, and there’s lineups.”

Orsted purchased the Moosehead as a DJ in 1990, and his focus was up in the cabaret area. A lot of upgrades had been made in the past two years.

“We rebuilt the new big DJ booth, and bought an all-new sound and light system, and reworked it all before we opened again,” said Orsted.

The crowds were big every night in the summer. Most years they came at 11 p.m. or midnight, but this summer they were coming earlier in the evening. The summer of 2021 was a busy one for the Moosehead.

“We had a lot of time with low income, so it made things pretty tough,” said Orsted.

A former Moosehead employee, Brad Chapman, launched a GoFundMe campaign just hours after the fire.

He wrote he was working to help Orsted and the Moosehead family after “a devastating fire which has left a hole in all our hearts.” Money will be used for debris removal, cleanup efforts and other expenses.

“We are doing our best to raise as much funds as possible to assist during this most difficult time,” Chapman said.

It provided decades of entertainment to thousands over the years, had a great atmosphere, “amazing” food, and the best people anywhere.

“Every dollar helps, I’m asking to share this for us and let us help those who have us so

many priceless memories,” Chapman said.

As of Thursday morning, the GoFundMe campaign had raised $7,525 of its $40,000 goal. A total of 50 donors had supported it.

The Village of Kenosee Lake praised local and surrounding fire departments for their efforts in containing the Moosehead fire.

“Without these volunteers this fire could have been much worse,” the village said in a Facebook post.

They said they are thinking of the Orsteds during this devastating time.

“The village has lost an iconic business that will never be forgotten.

Many memories were created by so many!” the The rubble that remains of the Moosehead Inn. Photo courtesy of Dale Orsted village wrote.

Day of Listening promotes the importance of being a better listener

By Laura Kish

With so many people glued to their TVs, phones, computers and social media, the art of listening has almost gone out the window.

It’s time to shut the world out and take time to really pay attention to what your spouse, kids, co-workers and friends are saying, thinking and feeling.

That’s the importance of recognizing the International Day of Listening, which was Sept.

16 this year with the 2021 theme being “Listen to Connect.”

Sharon Duffala of Kennedy is a member of the International Listening Association which is for anyone who deals with listening to people. The association has professional listeners around the world. A professional listener is fully present and attentive, offering support without judgment or agenda.

Duffala is a professional listener who owns a service called Good Ears Listening, with clients throughout

Saskatchewan as well as across Canada and the U.S. She is there for you to unburden your emotions, concerns, or fears during trying times or crisis.

Duffala’s services are endorsed by Dr. Erica Roets out of Whitewood/ Moosomin and Dr. Donald MacRae, who is a psychiatrist out of Carlyle. If they think their patients are just in need of a listener, they refer them to Duffala. Some patients might not necessarily be looking for a cure but just need someone to talk to, share their feelings with and are in need of a good listener.

Duffala thought that this would be a good time to promote the awareness of listening and the importance of it, and bring public attention to the whole idea of listening.

Tips to becoming a better listener include: • Value listening.

Consciously choose to listen more and listen better.

• Listen with an open mind to what the speaker has to say.

• Let the speaker finish talking before you respond.

• First, listen to understand, not to respond.

• Look for verbal and nonverbal clues about how important this message is to the speaker.

• Listen for strong emotional content of the message, as well as the meaning of the words.

• Be aware of culture differences, age differences and gender differences in how people speak to each other and how they listen to each other. They may be expecting different indicators of listening and respect.

• Reflect back what you’ve heard if that seems appropriate.

• Respond in a way that shows that you have listened and follow up with future actions to show that you listened.

• Prepare to listen.

Get rid of internal and external distractions.

“We’re usually listening and thinking how we’re going to respond to a person but listening isn’t about responding, it’s about simply listen-

Town of Carlyle announces new parks manager With the assistance of HMC Management Inc., Mayor Jennifer Sedor and the council of the Town of Carlyle have announced the hiring of Shane Marsh as their new director of parks, recreation and culture, effective Oct. 1.

Marsh has a bachelor of arts degree in recreation leadership and has over nine years of recreation leadership experience, having been employed as the recreation director for the towns of Kerrobert and Carnduff, and most recently, as the recreation manager for the regional district of Okanagan Similkameen in Keremeos, B.C.

Marsh also has private sector experience, having worked as the general manager for the Carnduff Co-op Ltd. He brings a strong recreation facility operations background into this newly created positon and looks forward to directing the transitioning process of the town, assuming primary responsibility and day to day operations of some of its recreation facilities – such as the arena, pool and Memorial Hall – from the various boards and committees.

Also under Mr. Marsh’s supervision, will be the cemetery, Carlyle community playground,

ing to what the other person is saying,” explains Duffala.

“Not a lot of people do that consciously anymore,” adds Duffala.

“The value of listening has been put on the back burner.”

“You’re not going to agree with everybody, but that’s not the point of listening,” says Duffala, who adds, “It’s just to hear what they’re saying and make people feel acknowledged and make that human connection.”

And that happens to be the theme of this year’s day – Listen to Connect.

Not many people have heard of a professional listener and what they are all about.

Duffala goes to explain: “We cover subjects such as isolation, separation, grief, loss, family dynamics, relationships, workplace issues, or whether you’re feeling sad, lonely or happy, and have no one to share it with … it means a lot when you can connect with someone else.”

“I’ve always been an empath which enables me to connect with the emotions of others, and feel them myself.”

“It’s years and years of connecting with people on this level … I’ve been doing this for many, many years.”

“Through the Listening Association, they offer training and courses to bring the listeners up to date on how to listen which I find informative as well.”

“I have no professional degree or specific training but it’s who I am

Sharon Duffala is a Professional Listener who operates a service “Good Ears Listening.” naturally.”

Duffala says over the years of listening to other people’s problems or issues, being the empathic person she is, it can sometimes be overwhelming feeling like she’s also taking on the world’s problems.

“I have to be careful to set aside time for myself and categorize what is the emotion of someone else as opposed to letting it affect me.”

Duffala meets all sorts of people from all walks of life and she hopes she can help some of them along the way.

“Some people just want to talk, some people want advice, it’s really all about the other person. It’s not about me, it’s not about what I want or what I think you should do.”

Letting the other person talk and just listening and acknowledging and hearing what

they’re saying, it’s possible for that person to gain some insight just from saying things out loud.

“People are looking for different things and everything a person says is private and confidential,” reassures Daffala.

“I might make recommendations depending on what their situation is.”

“All kinds of people want someone to listen to them for many different reasons.”

“But you find that connection to another human being is really important”.

“In this society now, we’re sometimes getting further and further away.”

Having someone to talk to can have a profound and healing effect on your emotional wellbeing.

You can’t learn if you’re not listening.

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

Moe badly off his game in COVID response

By Murray Mandryk Premier Scott Moe appears to believe there’s overwhelming support for how he’s handling the current COVID-19 fight.

He’s read the situation incorrectly.

While there is an extremely vocal minority protesting vaccines and any return to masking orders and maybe a larger minority that might be slightly sympathetic or fearful of Saskatchewan returning to restrictions, the vast majority of people here are doing whatever we all must do to get through this pandemic as safely as we can.

For Moe to cater this group — presumably because it is vocal and, arguably, politically influential — is simply wrong.

“We’re not going back to widespread public health orders and restrictions that we once had in place,” Moe said at press conference earlier this month.

But the vast majority of Saskatchewan residents who made the right decision did so because it was right thing to do personally and the right thing to do for the betterment of all of us. We all just want to get through this pandemic as quickly as possible.

Why Moe and his Sask. Party haven’t understood this is puzzling. Moe has remained one of the most popular premiers in Canada since first being chosen for the job in January 2018 by being able to relate to voters’ concerns and by showing remarkable political instincts. It is this skill set that guided him to a massive fourth-term win last October where the Sask.

Party massive majority he inherited from Brad Wall didn’t take so much as a dent.

But both those instincts and that ability to relate have been badly off the mark of late.

They surely weren’t evident as Moe sat mum during when the Saskatchewan premier wouldn’t respond to shots from Justin Trudeau at Saskatchewan’s recent handling of COVID-19.

They surely weren’t present this summer when Moe was ignoring the rising case counts and chose to be seen at a golfing event.

It sure isn’t evident when he seemed to be under the impression that Saskatchewan people sick of COVID-19 wouldn’t accept some reinstatement of restrictions like indoor masking.

And, most crucially, any political instinct or basic common sense that has been Moe’s brand has been lost in his refusal to respond to those record COVID-19 case counts — more than 500 cases in one single day, including more than 100 little kids under 12 years not eligible for vaccines.

To this, Moe has responded the problem is with those not willing to get vaccinated. Yes, they are a problem, but what about little kids getting sick as they go back to school. What about the reality that the Sask. Party government message has been that adults who are refusing to get vaccinated are simply exercising their freedom of choice?

Why aren’t we pushing vaccine passports to make life difficult for those choosing not to get vaccinated?

How bad does the Saskatchewan government look when it appears to be waiting until Alberta — reputed to have the worst COVID-19 strategy in the country — takes the lead?

Perhaps it’s simply because Moe got caught up the notion of being the first to re-open — a notion that was initially popular. Maybe he read the political winds wrong or just didn’t want to make a move until after the federal election for fear of ramifications on federal Conservatives.

Whatever the reason, Moe has badly read the situation we are now in.

Beyond the ballot box

Shelley Luedtke We were at a community event several years ago talking with a young couple who recently moved to our town.

We asked if they were enjoying living here and with little hesitation the woman told us the jury was still out.

We asked what the town might need to make their experience better and she shrugged her shoulders and said there wasn’t much to do here.

A couple of years ago, I was visiting with a couple, probably in their 60s, who were new to town. They’d been here for a while but she wasn’t liking it because she found little to do. I suggested a few different groups and activities that I knew about in town but she shot down all of those suggestions, saying she wasn’t interested in any of that.

Neither individual offered anything in terms of what they’d like to see, nor did they

ask how they could get new ideas started. They seemed happy to be unhappy. I don’t know if either couple is still living here but if so, I hope they have gotten involved somewhere and have a new perspective today, because it would be hard to live in a place you don’t like. Then again, I wonder if either would have been willing to put in the work to make anything different.

Our summer plans got changed the last two years so we decided to take day trips to places in the province we’d never been before, or ones we’d driven past but never taken time to explore. I loved it. From historic sites to quirky locales, there were places that made me wish our town had similar amenities.

When we are very familiar with a place one of two things can happen: either we fail to see the limitations, or we overlook what makes it special. It requires an honest inventory of where we are at, as well as recognizing what we have just beyond our front doors. Sometimes we become so comfortable with something we don’t see all that is there.

Sometimes we aren’t aware of the ongoing efforts to make something different. Better. The danger is complacency

and not striving to do what we can to make our community stronger – perhaps waiting for someone else to step up and do it.

I recall an anecdote that said you’ll get a handful of people at best to come out to a community planning meeting, but the whole town will show up in the middle of the night to watch it burn down. Harsh, to be sure. But unless we put in the work to build strong communities, what do we expect is going to happen?

My hometown of Outlook is asking for input into formulating a strategic plan. It’s an opportunity to say what we think should happen in our town and this is not something we should take lightly.

When elected officials ask for our input, let’s be sure we take them up on that. It’s a way to put our stamp on the community we want to continue to call home.

It doesn’t stop there.

The mayor is keeping office hours on Meet with the Mayor Mondays to be available to listen to citizens. These mornings with the mayor have tremendous potential — if we see the opportunity in front of us. I hope people come not simply to talk about concerns, but even more so to bring ideas and their willingness and

ambition to help make them happen.

I am going to go meet with the mayor.

Based on great experiences we had in other Saskatchewan towns, there’s something I’d like to suggest —but also offer my help in seeing it through, if it’s something others feel is warranted. It may not be a project that packs a big punch, but every time we work toward making our community a little better, the effect is cumulative and the impact is huge. We can be involved far beyond the ballot box.

It’s easy to be pessimistic to justify dissatisfaction with where you live but it serves no purpose. It’s far better to bring ideas, initiative and optimism. So fill out surveys. Talk to representatives. Get involved.

Consider for a moment how incredibly fortunate we are if we live in a community with retail outlets to buy essentials; access to education and health care; places of worship; and opportunities to pursue arts, culture and recreation.

It’s up to us to decide what we are going to do with all that and recognize that what we find to complain about is an absolute dream scenario for many millions who would be so thankful for so much less. That’s my outlook.

Kingswood Golf Ladies Tournament welcomes 86 golfers

By Laura Kish The weather this past weekend held up for the most part for golfers taking part in the local tournaments.

The rain shower towards the end of the afternoon seemed to have very little impact for golfers on the Kingswood Golf Course on Sept. 11.

The annual Kingswood Golf Ladies Tournament welcomed 86 golfers to the green for friendly golf competition. This was an 18hole, four-person TexMex tournament, giving all golfers an opportunity to show off their skills.

Making the day even more memorable was the attire some golfers chose to wear. Some donned neon colors,

cowboy hats, hats with horns and frilly tutus.

And some teams donned matching Saskatchewan Roughriders gear.

Due to the rain shower towards the end of the tournament, golfers took cover in the shed for drinks and a much-deserved steak dinner with all the fixings. The atmosphere throughout the day was evident – it was less about competition and more about enjoying the game together.

Volunteers for the event made the day possible. Committee members of the Kingswood Golf Course were kept busy and making sure the event ran smooth from the beginning to the end.

At the end of the tournament, there were three teams who tied

with the lowest score of 73. The winning team, on a countback, was Norma Schneider, Linda Gliem, Bernie Blackstock and Breanne Blackstock. The team was thankful to Gee Bee Construction for winning matching sweatshirts as their prizes.

“The tournament was well organized and well run,” commented Bernie Blackstock, speaking on behalf of her winning team, to which the others agreed. “We all had a great time.”

Most honest golf team, with a score of 92, included Donna Olver, Joan Zepick, Anita Katona and Gloria Struble.

Other winners of the tournament included: Longest putt of 34 feet went to Lisa Stewart; Longest drive went

8 in.

Sharron Szucs was

the lucky winner of the 50/50 draw, winning $315.

Many other raffle prizes were also drawn for following the supper.

The committee ex-

plains that this year’s tournament had more golfers entered than they’ve had in quite a few years. They hope to see the golfers all back again next year.

Golf tournament held at Windthorst Country Club

By Laura Kish The Windthorst Country Club held an 18hole golf tournament on the weekend organized

by Barry and Raye Hassler.

Sept. 12 found 39 golfers enjoying a great, and very cool, day of golf. The day began with a 1 p.m. start and ended with a lot of laughs, good memories, some entertaining golf and wonderful prizes due to the generosity of all the sponsors.

The winners of various contests during the tournament included: • Men’s longest drive

went to Eric Arthur; • Women’s longest drive was won by Breanne Blackstock; • Closest to the pin was Dave Jones; and • Longest putt went to Rilla Kapell.

The tournament also consisted of an interesting hole at which the golfer who landed closest to the painted line in the middle of the fairway walked away with a prize. Hanna Steele was the lucky, or shall we say straightest, shooter coming in at four inches from the line.

The most honest golf team went to Balls

of Steele with a score of 77. Golfers on this family team were Bernard and Cathy Steele and their three daughters Madeline, Rachel and Hanna.

Winner of both the Texas and Mexican Scramble rounds was the team of Dave Jones, Cooper Jones, Craig Pister and Eric Arthur, coming in with scores of 30 on each of the rounds.

Those not winning a major prize had yet another chance at various other prizes just by entering the tournament.

Angela Rygh was the lucky winner of a 1935 antique ball marker. It

Peter Dayman, vicepresident of the golf committee, manned the drink tent throughout the day, keeping the golfers in good ‘spirits’.

The wonderful supper with all the salads was prepared by Dwight

towards capital improvements on the course, including tinning the roof of the clubhouse.

“Thank you very much for coming out to golf today and hope everyone had a good time,” said Bernard Steele, president of the golf committee.

New water well drilled at Carlyle Golf Club Submitted by Gord Paulley As reported in the Observer two weeks ago, the Carlyle Golf Club has proceeded with the drilling of a second water well.

Tyler Istace, third generation owner of Rebel Drilling out of Weyburn, provided some details.

“I am pleased to advise that a well was drilled to a depth of 230 feet. Water was found at the 208foot level and should provide the golf course with a flow of 20 gallons per minute.”

God’s gentle nudges and our freedom

By Ken Rolheiser The Band Perry gives us a refreshing focus on life and meaning in If I Die Young. The “sharp knife of a short life” gives us much to ponder.

The narrator asks if her words will be worth

so much more after she is a goner? Will people start listening to her then?

I was pondering what life means after 76 years.

How many hours I have spent in church worship, in theological classes and study. How much I have learned from my parents

and from a very privileged upbringing that included a rural, cultured and sheltered German Catholic community.

I have had time to learn about the mysteries of life, of creation. My God, the blessings I have seen. When you are born

on third base, don’t pretend that you hit a triple.

To be born in this country is to start from privilege. To have had enough to eat and a roof over our heads is privilege.

To not wonder about whether there is a God is a blessing of grace. To

be in touch with what theologians have known for centuries is more of that privilege. You and I have a choice – will I journey through life with the comfort of Divine companionship, or will I ignore the gentle nudges of the God that loves me?

The seeds of truth can be seen in nature.

Sit in the beauty; soak in the smells and tastes of creation. Revel in the good things God has given us. In The God of our Desires, Father Ron Rolheiser says, “…all that we find attractive, beautiful, irresistible, erotic, and pleasurable here on earth is found, even more fully, inside of its source, God.” He adds, “The beauties and pleasures of this life are a gift from God, meant to be enjoyed. But, by being aware of their source, we can also then be free enough to accept the very real limits that life puts on our desires.

And, better still, we need not fear death since what we lose will be trumped one-hundredfold by what we gain.”

I thank my reader for indulging me in this philosophic rant I have taken us on. It has been an unusually hot summer, and in the heat of this hour my thoughts grow keen and clear, if I may borrow from Archibald Lampman: A Church goer complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday.

"I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard 3,000 sermons, and I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs."

A wise man answered his query: "I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals, but I do know this … If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today."

Seek the shade, dear reader. Escape the scorching heat: “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.”

(Psalm 91:1).

Pheasant Rump school is part of a national fundraiser A new school on the Pheasant Rump Nakota First Nation has been adopted for a national fundraiser.

The Indigo Love of Reading Foundation has announced the 2021 launch of the Adopt a School program, now in its 12th year supporting children’s literacy. From Sept. 13 to Oct. 3, Indigo, Chapters and Coles stores will unite with communities across Canada to fundraise for 153 high-needs elementary school libraries, with 100 per cent of funds going directly to the schools.

Little People’s Learning Lodge at Pheasant Rump is a kindergarten to Grade 3 school. The school library is currently limited to a few select books and they would like to have a wide variety of genres and ageappropriate books for students and their families.

Pheasant Rump Nakota First Nation does not have a community library. They say are very grateful and excited about this opportunity to enhance their book collection and create a learning hub for all youth in the community.

As of Wednesday morning, it had raised $25 of its $220 goal. For more information on their effort, visit the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation website.

After a challenging 2020-21 academic year, the Adopt a School program is more important than ever to ensure that libraries across the country are equipped to support students with learning. With students returning to school this fall, it’s vital for school libraries to have adequate resources to inspire a love of reading and life-long literacy skills.

It is also important to ensure schools have access to quality and diverse books that offer a deeper understanding of their peers and communities as well as connecting children with books that reflect their own cultures.

“This past year has been exceptionally difficult for students and educators across the country. In schools where new books and educational resources are already limited during the pandemic, remote learning and school closures created even greater barriers for student literacy,” said Rose Lipton, executive director of the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation.

“Many people don’t realize that schools in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities across Canada have limited library budgets, leaving vulnerable students with inadequate stacks filled with outdated and tattered books. It’s important that we invest in school libraries across Canada where every child has access to books and the opportunity to fall in love with reading.”

Indigo founded the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation in 2004 and is dedicated to putting books in the hands of children in high-needs elementary schools across Canada. The Adopt a School program connects communities with both local and remote schools to fundraise in support of providing quality library resources at participating schools, aiming to add one book for every child to their often aging and outdated library collections.

The Little Learners School has been adopted by the Coles Oakville Place in Oakville, Ont. Many of the schools are adopted by Coles, Indigo and Chapters outside their communities.

Individuals across Canada are invited to support a high-needs school in store or online and impact the lives of children in high-needs communities by providing much needed educational resources for these schools.

At the end of the program, 100 per cent of funds raised through the online school fundraising pages will also be donated to participating schools. All participating schools receive the funds as e-gift cards to support the rejuvenation of their library, and benefit from a 30 per cent discount off books at Indigo, Chapters and Coles stores when using program donations.

Managing your nances during a pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the nancial well-being of households across the country. While some people lost their jobs, others received wage increases. If you need advice on how to get out of debt or want to invest your money wisely, several professionals can help you manage your nances.

DEBT HELP A licensed insolvency trustee (LIT) can assess your nancial situation and provide personalized advice to help you get out of debt. If you need to le for bankruptcy or submit a consumer proposal, this professional can assist you. In addition, an LIT can deal with creditors on your behalf, so you’ll no longer have to deal with phone calls from debt collectors or worry about wages being garnished.

In addition, depending on your needs, it may be a good idea to get assistance from a nancial adviser, portfolio manager or investment broker. Just make sure you do your research. If you require help managing your cash ow or saving for your retirement, it’s important to choose the right professional for the job.

FINANCIAL PLANNING A nancial planner can provide you with a complete picture of your assets and help you evaluate your investment options. Consequently, they can guide you toward a nancially stable life and assist you in developing a plan to reach your goals.

However, it’s important to specically work with a certied nancial planner (CFP), as these professionals are the most qualied. Only they have the requisite knowledge, skills and experience to provide you with sound nancial planning strategies and solutions.

The RM of Moose Mountain has moved to a new building Submitted by Gord Paulley This summer, the R.M. of Moose Mountain finalized the purchase of their new location at 250 Eighth Street West in Carlyle. While the main building is not very old, it has been home to a number of different oilfield service companies.

Some may even recognize this as the local provincial election polling station in past years.

“We have centralized both working offices and machinery storage facilities onto one property,” said RM administrator

Sandra McClement.

With the purchase of 139 acres of land and three buildings brings opportunity for them to expand their services.

Buildings include a spacious office with board room and main shop attached, a heated Quonset and a cold storage shop.

The RM now has their own freightliner, trailer and loader for gravel hauling to further complete their own routine road maintenance.

The office, shop and land bring room for growth and convenience of their office and public works staff working clos-

er together. The RM still owns their shop in Manor where one of their two road graders are housed.

The previous Carlyle shop/storage buildings are still presently owned on Seventh Street West in Carlyle and currently listed for sale.

A statement from the RM office says: “From 2014-2021, the RM office staff had the pleasure of sharing a portion of the Carlyle Civic Centre and working closely with the Town of Carlyle. We certainly miss the town office staff and the convenience of working from Main Street, but we are only a phone call, email or visit away. We are committed to having a close relationship with both urban municipalities within the RM boundaries, the Town of Carlyle and Village of Manor.”

McClement has worked for the RM for seven years and has been capably mentored by now-retired RM administrator Ron Matsalla,

Assistant administrator Kim Cassibo, left, and administrator Sandra McClement. along with assistant administrator Kim Cassibo, who has been in the RM system for five years.

Wade Fox of Manor and Bob Phenix of Alida are co-foremen of the maintenance crew, splitting and sharing duties between the east and west halves of the municipality – each having approximately 25 years of experience.

Seasonal maintenance workers and operators Lorne Rose and Slade Burnett both have approximately five years of experience in RM maintenance work.

RM of Moose Mountain Council includes Reeve Kelly Brimner, and Councillors Donald Boutin, Rick Burnett, Rick DeGeer, Alex Eisler, Jack Wilson and

Mitch Weber.

On Sept. 22, the RM of Moose Mountain will celebrate its 110th incorporation anniversary.

“Please come out for a coffee, tour the new buildings and view some of the historical pieces we have for our area anytime – our office is open to the public Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.,” added McClement.

Good communication key to mental well-being Submitted by Envision Counselling and Support Centre

Communicating successfully can be broken down into three main parts: the words used, what is heard and what is seen. Surprisingly, the biggest part of communication doesn’t actually deal with the words being said, but rather how they are being said. This is referred to as non-verbal communication.

Non-verbal communication includes things like facial expressions, body language, gestures, eye contact and tone of voice. These areas make up the majority of our communication with other people and are key to getting our message

Most disagreements can be boiled down to this description: “They were talking when they should have been listening.”

When we can’t get along, it usually means that there’s trouble with

communication in the relationship.

Communication involves the successful sharing of ideas, feelings, information and understanding between two or more people.

Most importantly, we are in a healthy exchange when we agree that the sharing is successful and an understanding is reached.

across clearly.

Other ways to communicate effectively are speaking clearly and specifically; and keeping your message simple, being concise and using only as many words as necessary to convey the message. Arguably the most important part when talking with someone is to listen.

When we actively listen, the chances for successful communication greatly improve. To actively listen to someone we need to pay attention, show interest, ask questions and repeat what was heard. These core strategies show the person that what they

are saying deserves to be heard and encourages people to continue talking.

Ways to actively listen include: • Be present – Pay attention to what the other person is telling you.

• Empathize – Try to put yourself in their shoes.

• Clarify – Get additional information to better understand.

• Paraphrase – Repeat what you heard to make sure you are correct.

• Encourage – Let the person know you are interested and what to keep listening.

• Validate – Acknowledge the person’s worth, effort and feel-

ings.

These tools may seem unnatural in conversation at first, especially if you have never engaged in active listening practices before. However, they do get easier with practice and will create richer, longer lasting relationships.

EYES

INTESTINES

If you want to remain healthy, regular checkups with your doctor, dentist, optometrist and other health-care professionals are essential.

These appointments help ensure that problems are detected early, which maximizes your chances of receiving timely treatment and making a full recovery. The frequency of your visits should be based on your age and risk factors, although you should also book an appointment if you experience pain or other worrying symptoms.

In the meantime, there are plenty of ways you can lead a healthier lifestyle. Here are a few tips to help you remain in peak condition.

In addition to getting your daily dose of fibre (which should come from a variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains), there are several ways to promote healthy digestion. Eat slowly, drink plenty of water, use antibiotics only when necessary and avoid restraining yourself from going to the bathroom when you feel the need.

KIDNEYS

To help prevent kidney disease, you should reduce your salt intake, drink plenty of water and exercise for at least 30 minutes a day.

You should also limit your use of over-the-counter medications and respect the dosage of any prescription drugs you take.

BONES

Eating foods that are high in calcium and vitamin D (fatty fish, eggs, milk, mushrooms, etc.) will help keep your bones strong. Consult your doctor to find out if you should be taking a supplement. Additionally, be sure to exercise regularly and limit your consumption of coffee and alcohol.

FEET

To protect your feet, choose comfortable footwear that fits properly, avoid shoes that scrunch your toes and save high heels for special occasions. These practices will help you avoid aches, blisters and other common foot problems. You should also regularly wash and dry your feet, and don’t cut your nails too short.

BRAIN

LUNGS

Wash your hands frequently and take steps to prevent the spread of germs that target your respiratory system. You should also avoid smoky and dusty environments, and improve your home’s indoor air quality by opening windows, vacuuming often and getting your ducts cleaned regularly by a professional.

MUSCLES AND JOINTS

You should always warm up before you exercise, stay hydrated before and during physical activities and listen to your body to prevent injuries. At work, be sure to maintain an ergonomic posture and vary tasks as much as possible to avoid prolonged repetitive movements.

MOUTH

Keep your teeth and gums healthy by adopting good oral hygiene habits.

This includes brushing your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristle brush and flossing daily. It’s also a good idea to limit your consumption of food and beverages that are bad for your teeth such as sticky candies and soft drinks.

To keep cognitive decline at bay, make sure to regularly challenge yourself. Solving crossword puzzles, playing strategy games and learning a new language are ways you can keep your mind active. It’s also important that you maintain a social life that allows you to regularly connect with others. Additionally, make sure to wear a helmet if you cycle, ski, play contact sports or work in a hazardous environment.

Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes when you’re outside, and use safety goggles while playing certain sports, handling dangerous substances or working in a dusty environment.

Additionally, remember to blink often and take regular breaks if you use a computer all day. This will help prevent eye strain and dry eyes.

EARS

To preserve your hearing, favour headphones over earbuds, listen to music at a reasonable volume and wear noise-cancelling earmuffs in loud environments. Never use cotton swabs to clean your ears, as doing so can create earwax blockages and damage your eardrums.

SKIN

To keep your skin healthy, wash yourself with a mild soap and warm (rather than hot) water. Take care to pat yourself dry, as rubbing can cause irritation. You should also moisturize daily, take steps to protect your skin against the sun and eat plenty of berries and other foods rich in antioxidants.

REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS

Keeping your genitals clean is a must, but women should avoid douches and other types of scented products. Men should protect their testicles when playing contact sports by wearing a protective cup. Both men and women should practise safe sex, get tested for sexually transmitted infections and find out if they’ve been vaccinated against HPV, among other things.

HEART

There are numerous ways you can reduce the risk of heart disease.

Among other things, you should exercise regularly, limit your consumption of alcohol, get enough sleep, manage your stress and eat a healthy low-sugar, low-sodium diet.

BREASTS

You should familiarize yourself with the look and feel of your breasts so that you’ll notice if something changes. However, breast health goes beyond self-exams. You should also eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, learn to manage your stress, adopt an active lifestyle and take steps to maintain a healthy weight.

Rock’n the Block in Redvers a great community event Submitted by Michelle Jensen The town of Redvers was hopping this past Saturday during the Rock’n The Block community event.

A couple of months prior, town council members decided that they wanted to hold a celebration to give back to their community and business sector and the idea for Rock’n the Block was born.

Mayor Brad Bulbuck, Councillor Michelle Jensen and recreation

director Alicia Stewart got right to work to plan a free community event to bring the citizens of Redvers and surrounding communities together.

The big event of the day was a free concert featuring Men Without Shame, along with an afternoon full of activities such as face painting, a petting zoo, carnival, show and shine, tractor display, Danny Kazam magic show and an inflatable obstacle course and Zorb ball run.

With a chance of rain in the forecast, the orga-

nizers moved the Meal on Main supper, hosted by the Redvers Lions Club, and the Men Without Shame concert to the hockey arena, but the afternoon activities stayed put on Main Street as planned.

There was a fantastic crowd of attendees throughout the day, a sold out supper and packed dance floor, and the day was deemed a huge success. The organizers are hoping to make this an annual event and hope to be able to grow it more each year.

Maryfield Sunrise Villa news Submitted by Betty Walker This week finds us near halfway through September and showing many signs of fall.

Some of our hall windows are sporting new blinds which are a nice addition.

Last Friday afternoon found us singing out on the patio with Mary on her guitar.

It was a little cool but still nice and enjoyed by all.

This was followed by a few of us teasing wool to get ready for carding. Mary is attempting to make a comforter to sell at our craft sale. Wow what a lucky person that will be.

Fall decor is appearing in many places for our enjoyment.

Energy and Mines ministers conclude annual meeting Provincial and territorial ministers responsible for energy and mining across Canada concluded the 2021 Energy and Mines Ministers' Conference (EMMC), co-chaired by Saskatchewan, which focused on Canada's competitiveness, economic growth, and low-carbon innovation.

The conference took place in a hybrid format, with some ministers (Saskatchewan, Alberta, Ontario) attending in person in Saskatoon and others attending virtually.

"Our energy and mining sectors are criti-

cal to Canada's economy and account for almost 15 per cent of the national gross domestic product. Energy and mining are a major source of capital investment and generate crucial trade flow and high-quality jobs," Saskatchewan Energy and Resources Minister and EMMC co-chair Bronwyn Eyre said. "As Canada emerges from the pandemic, our vibrant, sustainable natural resource sectors will continue to create tremendous economic and social opportunities."

This year's EMMC focused on building Ca-

nadian competitiveness and stimulating investment in priority areas such as energy development and critical minerals, which include helium, lithium, potash, uranium, aluminum, rare earth elements, copper, cobalt, nickel and zinc, among others. Critical minerals are essential to advanced manufacturing and clean technology value chains.

Energy and mines ministers shared regional perspectives on geoscience, innovation, hydrogen, clean energy technology, electrification and positioning the Canadian energy and

mining sectors for future growth. This includes positioning Canada's world-class energy and mining sectors to benefit from environmental social governance (ESG) investment trends.

Ministers also focused on areas of collaboration that will help advance collective energy and mining agendas, including through the Canadian Minerals and Metals Plan. In addition, ministers discussed how innovative clean energy technologies, including hydrogen, small modular reactors (SMRs), and carbon capture, utilization and storage

(CCUS) can help support the Canadian economy and bolster economic growth.

Ministers acknowledged the importance of a strong energy sector as critical for Canada's economic recovery from the global pandemic and discussed a number of key energy priorities, including challenges and opportunities around energy transformation in the north, new technologies to drive competitiveness, and clean energy solutions.

A pre-conference session entitled Indigenous Partnerships and the Future of Natural

Resources, attended by ministers and National Indigenous Organizations, highlighted case studies of successful partnerships in energy and mining projects across the country.

Members of EMMC look forward to building on successes achieved during the conference and will continue to work together as provincial and territorial ministers to create a thriving, sustainable energy and mining future for Canada.

Newfoundland and Labrador will assume the role of co-chair for EMMC in 2022.

Moose Mountain Lions Club remains busy Submitted by Gord Paulley The Moose Mountain Lions Club held their annual golf tournament this past weekend with a record crowd in attendance.

Lions secretary Ainsley Sauter was very pleased with how the day turned out. “Despite having 157 golfers out, the tournament went off without a hitch. Our Lions Club wishes to thank Golf Kenosee and Club 19 for the great hospitality,” said Sauter. “Thank-you

to all of our golfers, sponsors and volunteers that helped make this annual event a huge success.”

In conjunction with the tournament, a draw was also made for a refurbished 1973 Harley Davidson Golf Cart. The lucky winner was Jordan Botteneau. Profits from both these projects will be used to continue the Lions’ work on securing and refurbishing additional green space to the Kenosee Lake area. The Moose Mountain Lions Club was formed in 2010 and presently has 17

members. The Club president is Stu Balfour. Barb Swanson is the treasurer.

On a more somber note, Ainsley extended sympathy to Dale Orsted, owner of the Moosehead Inn that burned to the ground the night before the tournament. “It’s so sad to see an important business of Kenosee Lake leave us. Thankfully there were no injuries and thank-you to all of the firefighters that helped extinguish the blaze, many of whom were golfing in our tournament.”

MEMORIALS

CARLYLEOBSERVER.COM Alida news - excited for a haunted house Submitted by Edel Cowan Home visiting Jean Ball for a few days, and attending the funeral of their Dad Garnet Ball on Sept. 10, were Garrett and Natasha Ball of Airdrie, Alta., Aaron Ball of Regina, Kenny Ball of Regina, granddaughter Hunter Burley and her friend.

Sincere sympathy is extended to the Mailhiot family on the death of their uncle Victor Mail-

hiot, late of Merritt, B.C., who passed away July 13, 2020. The family and friends gathered at the Cantal Cemetery on Sept.

11 for the internment of his ashes and then had a luncheon at the 361 Café.

Did you know it was Grandparents’ Day on Sept. 12? I’ve never really realized that there was a special day set aside for grandparents.

I’m one person who just figures that it is always Grandparents’ Day when

you are blessed to have your grandchildren living nearby. They are too precious to forget and grow up way too fast. Enjoy them all while you can.

I’d like to send congratulations to granddaughter Lacie Nilsen and her Physio Girls team on their success in completing the relay race at the Queen City Marathon in Regina held Sept. 12.

Way to go Girls.

The Alida Rink is now in the midst of a

makeover on the curling ice surface – getting ready for the Haunted House and of course for the ghouls, ghosts, spooks and witches, etc., to soon make their appearance and take up residence. If interested in helping out, please give Shelly a call at 306-485-7023, she’d love to hear from you.

They’re always in need of help with the construction and the operating of this event. There may be some COVID restriction

Protesters, delegation decry mask use in Southeast Cornerstone schools

By Greg Nikkel of the Weyburn Review The Southeast Cornerstone board of trustees heard impassioned pleas from a delegation of parents to reconsider requiring children to wear masks in school, particularly as the province has not mandated it.

Protesters decried the requirement for children to wear masks in school, as they made their views known at the SE Cornerstone board office in Weyburn on Wednesday afternoon.

to wear masks in school, particularly as the province has not mandated it.Protesters decried the requirement for children to wear masks in school, as they made their views known at the SE Cornerstone board office in Weyburn on Wednesday afternoon.

A group of protesters with signs decrying the use of masks mandated in Southeast Cornerstone schools stood on the sidewalk in front of the Cornerstone board office prior to the board meeting on Thursday.

In addition, a delegation of parents met with the board and made an impassioned plea to reconsider the rules for elementary schoolaged children being required to wear masks in class, when the provincial government has not reinstated the mandate for mask-wearing that was lifted on July 11.

The delegation included Lindsay Sterling, Norm Rasmussen, Mandy Szczecinski and Jesse Szczecinski, and they laid out their belief that by forcing children to wear a mask discriminates their rights to an education as guaranteed under the Education Act and the Saskatchewan Bill of Rights, among others.

Sterling pointed out she has not received any medical consent form for her child nor had she signed one.

The parents also argued they do not have the legal

right to supercede these rights by imposing the requirement for masks, especially when it is not mandated by the province.

Sterling asked that a committee separate from the school-community council be formed, and that a survey be done of parents on the issue of mask-wearing. The board was also asked to tell teachers not to put forward their views on wearing masks, or to make comments about children who don’t want to wear one, alleging there have been comments made in classrooms on this issue.

Parent Norm Rasmussen said his two sons loved school and were curious and energetic, but that all changed with rules about masking. Since then, he’s had to fight with them to go to school every day, because they don’t want to go anymore. They also ask questions about the inconsistent rules for wearing masks, and he doesn’t have the answers for them about why the rules were made.

In addition, as both he and his wife work full-time, they are not in a position to home-school kids if they have to go to remote learning, and they weren’t trained to be teachers. The masking rules were particularly hard to take after the province lifted the rules on July 11, and they were able to live a normal life for the balance of the summer, with his sons playing

with their friends. That was lost when they got a letter late in the summer about the requirement for masks again.

Rasmussen ended his comments by pointing out the decision should be his as a parent, not the school division making the decision for him. “They’re our kids, not your kids. I don’t know why we’re even debating this,” he said.

The delegation was told that the board would consider the presentation and would make a reply to it at a later time.

Later in the board meeting, education director Lynn Little presented the safe schools plan that will go into effect for Cornerstone on Monday, Sept. 20, requiring students in Grade 6 and younger to wear masks in class and on buses. In addition, all Grades 7-12 students where there is a positive COVID case will be required to wear a mask for 14 days from the time of the last exposure of a student in close contact with them.

Pre-kindergarten and kindergarten children will be grouped in small cohorts for play-based learning, and high schools will go to two-period cohort schedules, which was done in the last school year.

“We recognize that things do change and shift, especially in a COVID world,” said Little, adding the plan will require masks to be worn at specific schools, with the de-

cision made in concert with the local medical health officer.

The board met in closed session earlier that day with the medical health officials, and were given an update on the COVID situation in the southeast region.

Little noted there were 104 active cases in the southeast, including 17 new cases, and apparently children on buses have had exposure to COVID as have seven schools in the last few days.

The rate for students aged 12 to 17 who are fully vaccinated is under 50 per cent in the southeast, said Little, and the officials “strongly recommend” that masks be required, particularly in elementary grades as there is yet no vaccine for those under 12 years.

Parents of children who are in close contact with a child who tests positive will be notified by email, and by the rules set down by the province on Monday, they will have to self-isolate. Only those who are fully vaccinated will be exempt from the requirement to self-isolate.

“If parents have questions about the plan, they should discuss these with their principal, and if they have concerns, they should contact any board member or myself. We will continue face-to-face learning, and will continue to move through this as best we can,” said Little.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

If you’re single, get prepared to mingle, Aries. If you’re attached, then your relationship will only grow stronger in the days to come. Romance is in the air, so embrace it.

Someone close to you may be thinking of a reinvention and wants your opinion, Cancer. Support this person and all the changes he or she desires. Helping others is great for your personal growth.

A place you always enjoyed visiting may no longer hold the same appeal for you, Libra. That’s okay because everyone grows and evolves. Enjoy finding a new source of inspiration.

Capricorn, even though you have strong instincts about something, your emotions also may be running hot. Therefore, you might not be able to trust your instincts just yet.

Taurus, even if you’re feeling a little stuck in your relationships, do not push others away. There may be a solution you’re simply not seeing. Delve deeper.

Good habits will pay off in the days to come, Leo. So if you’re ready to make some changes, think about those that will improve your overall health and well-being.

You must make yourself available if you expect others to want to share ideas or information with you, Scorpio. So far you may have been a bit distant. Change this.

Aquarius, your energy levels could be waning, but that’s because you have been pushing yourself very hard lately. It’s time to rest to be recharged for later.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

Gemini, it may be time to break away from the typical routine — at least for a little while. This can offer you a new perspective that puts you on an interesting path.

If you’re feeling pressured to have fun, then you probably will not enjoy yourself no matter how hard you try. Try not to force things and take them as they come.

Figure out where your comfort levels lie, Sagittarius. Only then will you know just how far beyond those levels you’re willing to push yourself to try new things.

Don’t let others be your sole focus this week, Pisces. Figure out how to put yourself first without ignoring those around you. You are important and loved.
