White Bear First Nation encourages people to reflect on the importance of truth and reconciliation Submitted by Gord Paulley The White Bear First Nation held a ceremony at their education complex on Sept.

30 to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

The event started with an opening message and a sacred pipe ceremony.

“Reconciliation starts with self. Our healing journey begins with taking back our identity, our languages and our ceremonies.

The sacred pipe ceremony is our way of communicating with our ‘Holy/Great Mystery,’ a concept of holiness that cannot be described,” said Sarah McArthur after the event. “We refer to our Great Holy as “Wakan Tanga.” The sacred pipe ceremony is included in all our sacred ceremonies. That is the reason we begin our Day of

Truth and Reconciliation by honouring our Sacred Holy and our ancestors through the sacred pipe ceremony.

From this ceremony, we receive our power, strength and healing.”

Chief Annette Lonechild then addressed the crowd.

“Residential school issues are on the minds of everyone. Today is a day to acknowledge what has happened in the past and to be optimistic about the future.

Time and education is what can heal us.”

Elder Angie McArthur-Delorme then took the stage and talked about her own experiences attending a residential school.

“In those days, there were a lot of atrocities made against our First Nations children. We were known as a number in school.

Mine was 32. We were targeted for being native and not being able

to speak English. The memories of those days are not very pleasant.”

Guest speaker Andrew Bear was next on the agenda. Bear is both a crisis intervention specialist and mental health therapist who has talked to more than one million Indigenous people over the years.

His message was both succinct and positive.

“My mother and my wife both attended residential schools. The people of our First Nations constantly live in a world of depression, trauma and addiction.

Each day brings a new start and a fresh outlook. September 30th is a day to remind us of the past and future,” said Bear.

Student Leslie Lonethunder was the final speaker of the day. He is the grandson of a residential school survivor and had this message.

“I am thankful that attending residential

The Every Child Matters flag was flying at the White Bear First Nation. schools are now a thing in the past. I am very happy to be attending high school here at White Bear First Nations and this Truth and Reconciliation Day should become an annual day of remembrance.”

Lonechild ended

the ceremony on a positive note.

“As we mark the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on our White Bear lands, we’ve made effort to acknowledge the historic day along with our non-Indigenous friends from our sur-

rounding communities,” said Lonechild. “It is a new beginning and we trust the opportunity to observe and learn a little more about our history, culture, people and the Indian Residential Schools is well received.

vors and their families, and in remembrance of the children who did not return home.

Songs were shared with those who came to the event.

It set the mood of wellness and healing.

A delicious meal was served to complete the event. It was a great day for memory and reflection.

A meal was served at the end of the ceremony at White Bear.

Gord Paulley joins the Observer as a freelancer Hello everyone.

Since I have decided to accept this job as a reporter for the Observer after a four-week trial, I thought I would provide you with some background.

I moved to Carlyle in 1986 and, after 43 years with CIBC as a financial advisor, decided to retire in 2018. I am involved with many organizations in Carlyle and know a lot of people.

I feel it is important to keep the residents of southeast Saskatchewan informed with the events happening in their communities. You might not know it, but Carlyle and area is booming with a lot of great things happening, and not

all is related to the oilpatch.

A small-town newspaper is needed and very important to get the message out.

Not everyone is on Facebook and these two methods of providing the news must continue to live in harmony together.

A lot of you will remember my columns of the 1990s and early 2000s, reporting on the great years of the Carlyle Cougars hockey team, right here on the top of Page Six. Like 20 years ago, my goal is to have you wake up on Fridays, turn to your partner, and say “Remember, let’s find out what Paulley wrote about this week, don’t forget to pick up the paper.”

Gord Paulley is excited to be part of the Observer team.

Pheasant Rump marks first Truth and Reconciliation Day

By Laura Kish Pheasant Rump Nakota First Nation held an event recognizing Canada’s first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Sept. 30, with over 70 in attendance. All donned bright orange Every Child Matters t-shirts in recognition of all residential school survivors and victims.

After the unveiling of the sign, which reads “Every Child Matters – 6509 Discovered Safe Journey Home” at the entrance to Pheasant Rump Nakota First Nation, Elder Joan McArthur gave a prayer for all the children who are here now. She prayed for their safety and everyone else’s safety.

“We give thanks for everything we have today.”

The group gathered together for a photo in front of the sign before heading over to take their seats in lawn chairs and picnic tables for a barbecue lunch of hotdogs, hamburgers and drinks, along with a time of fellowship.

Later on some of the younger students read short pieces including ‘What does Every Child Matters mean?,’ ‘What does an orange shirt symbolize the loss of?’ and ‘Why is Orange Shirt Day so important?’.

Chief Ira McArthur, who has held this position for the past seven years and was recently re-elected for another four-year term, gave his thoughts on what the Truth and Reconciliation Day means to him.

“On a personal level … it’s really hard to describe,” explains McArthur, “because there’s been so much injustice around the whole issue of residential schools.”

“It’s impacted our people in so many different ways that resulted in so many negative impacts in our community and within our families.

Today is really about reminding the Canadian public about what has happened to Indigenous people here. That’s really important for us as Indigenous people because we feel that that recognition and ac-

Everyone attending the Pheasant Rump Nakota First Nation Truth and Reconciliation Day gathered together for a group photo in front of the newly erected sign. Photo by Laura Kish knowledgement hasn’t yet occurred. And that needs to happen before reconciliation can take place.

So in (Prime Minister Justin) Trudeau’s government, that has been a hefty word in his past term, reconciliation. It really means a lot to us as Indigenous people but at the same time there’s steps that need to be made prior to us being able to get into that process of reconciliation with the Canadian government.”

Have the elders passed down stories to the younger children?

“Some of our elders are more comfortable with sharing their stories than others,” explains Chief McArthur.

“Of course you have to understand that some of them went through truly traumatic abuse at these schools. They are called upon from schools in the area to talk with the children. They base their topics of discussion on the maturity level of the kids they are talking to.

From personal experiences with our elders here, based on what they’ve gone through they are still surviving and they encourage us as young people.”

Although McArthur never attended a residential school, many of his relatives have attended residential schools and it’s unfortunate today to see the results.

“As a community and as a family here at Pheasant Rump, we’re all related and we really look at ways that we can support one another.

We hope to bring about a healthier, stronger

family structure for our children that are growing up. That’s really important for us. Today is not about trying to remind people of the horrific past … it’s more about making sure that our children never have to go through anything similar to that.“ “Everybody’s healing path, including our elders, is unique to each individual. Here at Pheasant Rump, we’ve been through a lot as a community and as a First Nation but today we’re able to celebrate the Elders that we have and we hold them near and dear and cherish them.

We take care of our elders because they have a wealth of knowledge and have those comforting words at times when First Nations have gone through struggling times and they’ve brought us this far.”

It’s about passing that torch from generation to generation and the healthy family structure is passed on to chil-

dren and grandchildren.

“It’s important when we start to build partnerships and friendships with surrounding communities that they know of indigenous struggles.”

Elder Olive McArthur made a speech addressing the children, adults, grandparents, great grandparents, chief and council: “I am a residential school survivor. Seventy years ago I was in Lebret Residential School.

My parents were also survivors of residential schools. We are recognizing this day Truth and Reconciliation. The truth is we are all First Nations people but back then we were identified as Indians. We were treaty so the government put us all on reservations and they developed the Indian Act to look after us on the reserve. The truth is the Indian agent came along and ordered our parents to send us to residential schools to learn the ways of the white man

shaking,” as she recalls her past experiences.

As she shares her stories with family time and time again, McArthur says it does get easier talking about what happened years ago.

“How lucky we are to be survivors,” she said, “because there’s lots that weren’t.”

“Just to be a survivor is something because otherwise my family wouldn’t be here today.”

“I’ve got a big family including three children, 16 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.”

“It goes back to my mom and dad. My father was a survivor of a residential school and also a veteran.”

“The history of Canada is finally coming out! It’s been swept under the rug for so long.

The truth is finally being told.”

in order to carry on our lives. The reconciliation is coming, it’s here. As a survivor I learned to be strong.”

Elder Joan McArthur speaks openly about her past experiences of residential school life.

She has been asked to speak at many of the surrounding schools and events.

“I wear an orange skirt in honor of my culture, my identity, and having my freedom of who I am. I am a Nakota Cree – survivor of the residential schools. To be able to celebrate who I am today is a big celebration for me.”

She says it is definitely easier to talk about the past now that everything has come to light.

“When we first started talking about this, I could hardly say the words residential school. I would start

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

Local news matters more than ever

By Gordon Brewerton, Senior VP and General Manager for the Prairie News Group, and Jayne Foster, Curator, SASKTODAY.ca

This summer, we did something bold. You may have noticed.

Glacier Media’s Prairie News Group has chosen this, National Newspaper Week, to officially announce SASKTODAY.ca, a website that serves a region – and beyond – with the local award-winning news reporting that has been going on in our province for decades, including that of this newspaper.

Studies show that nine in 10 Canadians read newspapers each week across Canada – either in print or digital format. With all the world sharing their opinions online, it’s imperative today for local newspapers to continue to offer their factbased reporting to Canadians.

Credible information is more important than ever – and our local newspapers are much more than printed products.

SASKTODAY.ca is the culmination of months of planning, research and labour to compel today’s digital technology to meet our vision. There’s nothing else just like it on the Canadian news scene.

Local news has always mattered. That’s never been so true as it is today as our world becomes an ever smaller place. Local events, happenings and stories of all kinds are impacted – and even evoked – by a larger world of current events and global occurrences, such as the historic pandemic we are still working our way through.

On SASKTODAY.ca you will find your local news, and the local news of your neighbours and your fellow Saskatchewanians. We have reinvigorated 12 newsrooms across the province, connecting them digitally and with a collaborative goal to continue the time-honoured institute of local news reporting.

We have made a significant investment in this new site. New hardware, new software, more news contributors and importantly, more journalists.

We are drawing on resources of fellow Glacier news organizations as well the federal Local Journalism Initiative to augment our local news and agriculture coverage. We also have journalists working out of Saskatoon and Regina, covering news that resonates with readers across the province.

You can impact our coverage as well, through a tips link on every story.

When you visit our home page at SASKTODAY.ca, you will see local news has the starring role. You will also find local sports, local arts, COVID-19 coverage, opinion pieces and columns, plus agriculture news. In addition, we have national and international news by The Canadian Press.

SASKTODAY.ca is bringing it all together for you. Your local news, your neighbour’s local news, your fellow Saskatchewanians’ local news, your world’s local news. It all comes together here.

Visit SASKTODAY.ca to see how your hometown news is part of a world of stories impacting all our lives. not to get vaccinated.

Now, he presides over a mess. He and his government need to get a handle on the COVID-19 problem.

Flipping the script on responsibility

Shelley Luedtke He’s a billionaire determined to give his money away while still alive so he could see the impact it might have.

After building a duty-free shopping empire, Chuck Feeney set up a foundation to give his fortune away. His foundation was established in 1982 and his goal was achieved one year ago when it ran out of money.

Feeney is still alive.

He and his wife live frugally in a rented apartment and while he doesn’t tell anyone what they should do with their money, he wishes others would do what he has done and put their money to work solving problems. He believes wealth brings with it responsibility and wonders how many yachts one should buy when so many in the world are in such tremendous need of lifesustaining essentials.

It was Feeney’s approach to wealth that led to Bill Gates and Warren

Buffett establishing the Giving Pledge where the ultra-rich commit to giving at least half of their wealth to charity.

Sure, it’s easy for the super-rich to give away mega millions when they have mega millions more in the bank, right?

Isn’t that what a lot of us are thinking? Isn’t that how we react to news of someone wealthy making an announcement of a big gift? It’s easy to give … if you have it.

There is absolutely no doubt many in our nation are struggling financially, a situation that has certainly worsened over the last 18 months. Yet despite the economic hits taken, it remains that when it comes to wealth distribution we sit in the top tier. That may be hard to get our heads around as bills pile up, expenses increase and wages just don’t keep pace, but it is still true that we find ourselves on the wealthy end of the global economic spectrum.

Despite the fact that we have more than most, the amount we are willing to give to help others seems to be changing.

There were some bright spots seen during the pandemic including significant increases in donations for hospitals and frontline services. There were also new donors in areas of environmental causes, Indigenous sup-

port groups and social justice charities.

That’s where the good news ends. Because even though giving was up 260 per cent in the first wave of COVID, overall people gave less, and that’s a trend being seen year upon year upon year. It stands to reason that as income is impacted so is giving; but as overall giving declines, so does the work that can be done by the organizations relying on those donations.

Less than 15 years ago, one quarter of all Canadians gave to charity. Ten years later that number dropped to 19 per cent. The other factor in play is the growing giving gap. Younger generations are simply not giving to the same degree as older ones. Canadians 55 and up give almost twice as much as those aged 25-54, and yet even amongst the most generous age group the level of giving is down.

Chuck Feeney wondered how many yachts the ultra-rich felt they needed. We may not be the ultra-rich but we certainly are amongst the wealthy and maybe we could consider similar questions of our own spending habits. Not only does our economic capacity give us a standard of living much of the world will never see, it could be argued it carries with it a responsibil-

ity to do what we can for others.

But perhaps responsibility is not the best way to look at it. Let’s flip that around. What if we approached it not as a responsibility but as a tremendous opportunity? Opportunity to give.

Opportunity to help. Opportunity to have an impact.

Giving involves blessing someone without expecting anything back. Giving is selfless. It is an expression of care, of concern and of love.

And while we often look at it in terms of dollars, there are so many other ways to have that impact and to grab hold of that opportunity. It is acts of help and encouragement and so much more. So we listen when needed, send a card when appropriate, move furniture when asked, bake a cake when necessary, donate money when required, pray always and share as we were taught.

As turkeys are stuffed, potatoes mashed and pies sliced, we usually take time to be thankful for all we have. That’s a good thing. It also might be good to take a moment and consider how much we can potentially give. Yes, others have more, but the majority have a whole lot less. Not only can we give thanks, but we can give…with thanks. That’s my outlook.

Three residents vying for vacancies on Arcola Town Council Submitted by Gord Paulley

Three residents of the Town of Arcola are vying for two vacant councillor’s seats in a by-election to be held on Oct. 20. All three of these candidates provided the Observer with some background and their reasons for running.

Delanie Kendall: “I, Delaine Kendall, am running for council in Arcola. I have two children with one living in Alameda and one in Midale. I have eight grandchildren. I moved from Estevan to Arcola in 2014 and purchased a home here with my husband Rick and our black lab.

“I work as a marriage commissioner, serving Arcola and surrounding area. I am also busy with various volunteer work. Being elected to town council, I feel that I can help out this community and come up with a solution to our water issues. I would love to get out and meet with the public’s concerns and work together with other town council members.

“Being around Arcola, there are more concerns in the air that residents are talking

about but one thing at a time.”

Turner hopes that people will exercise their right to go out and vote.

Sheila Sim: “I moved to Arcola from Regina with my two children to take the administrator position with the Town of Arcola. I worked in that position for 11 years.

I moved from there to take the branch manager position at Plainsview Credit Union, Arcola branch, where I spent four years. My next career move was to JJ Trucking Ltd., Arcola, and is where I am currently employed.

A year and a half after I left my position as town administrator, I ran for town council and was successful in getting a seat at the council table for 12 years. If elected I am looking forward to working with the rest of council on several key issues including the delivery of safe and affordable water for the community, dealing with aging infrastructure including streets and water and sewer lines.

“I have also been active with the Moose Mountain Health Care Corp. (operating as

Arcola Family Health Clinic) which helps to ensure our community has access to basic health care. I believe it is important that the town (through town council) stays cognizant of the SHA’s plan for health care in our area.

“Finally, I would like to help find innovative ways to have community growth by facilitating new businesses, expansion of existing businesses and new home/improvement construction.

Stirling Van Gall: “I’d like to introduce myself as many of you don’t know who I am. My name is Stirling, you may have seen me working around the Arcola Pharmacy.

“I’ll keep this short and to the point, since I live a fairly simple life. I’ve had many different jobs and owned a couple of businesses.

My passion is being creative and I enjoy taking on new projects such as restoration and renovations. I’ve recently helped transform the pharmacy in Arcola and I am working on the old pharma-

What’s Happening in Agriculture.

Administrator Ed Mish retires after 38-plus years with the Rural Municipality of Golden West

By Laura Kish

The community of Corning recently held a celebration in honor of Ed Mish, former administrator of the RM of Golden West.

Over 50 gathered for a barbecue lunch, a variety of salads and desserts and a great sunny afternoon of visiting with friends. Upon his retirement, Mish was presented with a plaque in appreciation of his 38 years of service as well as a painting of the RM office.

Mish began his career as administrator for the RM in June 1982, retiring in January of this year.

After graduating from Glenavon High School and attending the University of Regina for three years in administration, Mish tells the short version of how this career came about: “Well, 38-plus years ago I can remember when I came down for the interview in the old café (which is now demolished) which was once the old RM office at one time. One of the councillors asked the question at that time ‘How long are you going to stay in Corning?’ I don’t recollect my reply at that time, but if you would have said 38 years, I wouldn’t have believed it.

“As soon as I moved to Corning, I was accept-

RM of Golden West retired administrator Ed Mish poses with current administrator Amanda Baumgartner at a recent barbecue held in his honor.

Photo by Laura Kish ed and invited into the community. They made me feel at home which was excellent and made my career here really easy. Over the 38 years I’ve worked with 29 different councilors and seven different reeves.

“Through all the years I can’t say that I’ve ever had a council that was difficult to work with. We all worked well together … it’s been a good, respectful working relationship even though we may not have always agreed on things.“ How have things changed within the RM over the past 38 years?

“The evolution of technology,” states Mish.

“At one time everything was done by hand (administrative wise) and

then computerization came about.”

“Graders and equipment are so much more advanced.”

Mish leaves behind some wise words for the current administrator and reminisces on some of the more memorable events over the years.

“Accomplishing tasks and moving the RM forward.”

“Over the years there have been events that have taken place that we’ve struggled through as council and administration. For instance, one of the most memorable events was in 2011 in the flood year. We had multiple roads under water, we had multiple roads in very poor condition. We struggled through that

Livestock feed & Mineral

and got through it. Over the years, we’ve built or upgraded miles of roads … too many to keep track of.”

Amanda Baumgartner, the current administrator of the RM of Golden West, gives her opinion of Mish as her mentor: “Ed has been a wealth of knowledge for the RM and just knows the history so when we’re working on upcoming projects or ideas, he not only knows the reason why things they’re done, he knows the reasoning behind why it was done.

He leaves really big shoes to fill in that respect.”

So needless to say, Baumgartner will keep Mish on speed dial for the time being.

“He was a great teacher,” explains Baumgartner. “I came to the RM with seven years of urban municipal experience but he was wonderful teaching me about the rural side of things and especially the way it pertains to Golden West.”

“Not only was he the administrator, Ed was involved in the Community Players, volunteered at the rink and was just overall very committed to Corning as a community.”

Mish was asked about his plans now that he’s retired.

“Nothing firm but I’ll enjoy my hobbies including golfing, curling and snowmobiling.”

Mish says with his administrator experience he’s contemplating “pinch-hitting” as a fill-in administrator if asked down the road but admits he hasn’t given it serious thought just yet.

Mish explains that in this profession when he started the ratio was probably 80 per cent

male and 20 per cent female, but over the years that’s probably the other way around as more and more women are making a career in this role.

Given his experience with farming, he has also been helping farmers in the area since his retirement. He says that keeps him busy and out of trouble.

Mish has absolutely no regrets about taking on the administrator role and making a career out of it.

“It’s been a rewarding career,” sums up Mish. “I’ve been fortunate through those 38 years there has never been a time when I didn’t want the job.”

Mish says it’s because of the wonderful council that everyone gets along so well and makes having this role that much easier.

“I’d like to thank the current council and administrator for putting on this barbecue. Thanks to all for coming out today…it’s very much appreciated.”

Carlyle Pharmasave - meet the owners Steve and Jolyn Schultz Located on the south side of Main Street in Carlyle is one of the town’s anchor businesses, Pharmasave.

Jolyn Schultz (daughter of Dale and Lynn Brady) graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 1993 and her first pharmacist job was in Dauphin, Man.

It was there that she met future husband Steve, who was then working for the local television station. After a stint at the TV station in Yorkton, Steve moved to Carlyle where Jolyn had moved back to and had gone to work for Bill Ramsay, owner of Ramsey Drugs.

In July 2003 they

opened their own pharmacy under the Pharmasave banner. Mac Fletcher had built them an 8,000-square foot store and this is where their business has thrived and resided for over 18 years.

Carlyle Pharmasave has grown steadily over time and now has 10 full-time and 10 parttime employees. Including Jolyn, they have four pharmacists and two certified pharmacy technicians.

Over the years, Steve and Jolyn have diversified their business to offer more products and services to Carlyle and area. Four years ago, they added Howie’s Hockey Tape, a hockey accessory company selling tape, laces, and the like.

This past year, they became an express dealer for M & M Meats.

Both sidelines have added additional foot traffic to their business and these entrepreneurs are always on the lookout for additional possibilities.

Steve and Jolyn have two daughters.

Kendra, 18, just graduated from high school and is attending university at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

Kassidy, 14, is in grade 10.

Pharmasave now offers M&M Meats.

Adds Steve: “Jolyn and I are so lucky to own and operate a successful business here in southeastern Saskatchewan.

We consider Carlyle to be a centre of commerce and we have many loyal customers that live both in and out of town. We have an outstanding team and our staff is topnotch and knowledgeable.“ Carlyle Pharmasave is a great supporter of community events and Steve and Jolyn are always willing to lend a helping hand. They are open Monday to Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pharmasave Carlyle is their Facebook page.

The fall supper season is nearly here Submitted by Gord Paulley

As it is now the Thanksgiving weekend, the Observer is providing details on some of the fall suppers that will be happening in the area.

Kisbey: “In 1988 village residents discussed turning the old Kisbey school into a Recreation Centre,” said spokesperson Elisa Jackson. “That October was the first of many fall suppers. Four of the original members are still on the board, Andree Harkness, Marilyn Hale, Norma Houston and Karen Starkell.

“Our last sit-down supper was in 2019 when 410 meals were served.

Because of medical restrictions, we held our first takeout supper in 2020, keeping the tradition alive and 206 suppers were served. Since then our board has had three other takeout servings.

“Net proceeds from this supper go towards the purchase of new appliances and general maintenance. A few years ago, we decided to have our suppers on a

Friday so that we aren’t competing with others in the area. Around10 of us prepare the takeout meal.

“We wish to thank everyone that helps out along with numerous donations from our suppliers. We are expecting a good turnout. This year’s fall supper takes place Friday October 22nd at the Kisbey Recreation Centre from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 pm.”

Manor: Tracy Brimner has been involved with Manor Fall Suppers for over 25 years and provided a report.

“Fall suppers in Manor have been sporadic over the years. In 2016, several clubs in the village decided to get together and organize.

Manor School Community Council, Manor 2017 Grad Class, the public library and at that time the Manor Mustangs Wrestling Club combined forces and held a joint supper.

“It was a huge success with close to 400 being served. We had several compliments from larger city residents commending Manor for

all of the young people that helped out. The suppers went well for three more years and then with medical restrictions occurring in 2020, our first fall takeout supper occurred.

“We received positive feedback last year and will be doing it again. Weir’s Catering will once again be cooking our meat, and with a generous donation from the Arcola Co-op, all potatoes will be donated as well. We have around 1520 people that help out each year. The Manor Public Library is spearheading this supper but the proceeds will be split evenly between other community groups.

“I am very proud of our small town of Manor and hope folks from near and far attend. Our fall supper is Sunday, October 24th from 4:30-6 at the Community Hall.

Watch for posters and personal Facebook pages for pre-order and etransfer information.”

Maryfield: Chairperson Barb Swallow filed this report. “The Maryfield United Church annual fall supper is

a takeout supper with pickup from the lower half of the Maryfield Auditorium on the corner of Main Street and Pipestone. The hall has been recently renovated so our committee is excited to be using the new kitchen for the first time.

“Because of COVID restrictions, we did not have a fall supper in 2020 so this will be a learning experience. At our last sit-down supper in 2019, we served 300. We have a strong contingent of both men and women that help out. Helen Johnson since 1965, Mary Lou Sweeting since 1973, and Fran Balls since 1988 are some of our long-term volunteers.

Charlotte Kovach is another of our veterans.”

Swallow also provide with a chuckle.

“Years ago, after clean up, the unused groceries were returned to the store the next day.

Apparently an empty tub of margarine was filled with leftovers and inadvertently returned to the store shelves. It was quite the surprise when the customer purchased her tub of margarine and

Fall suppers are always popular events in the southeast. Photo submitted opened it up at home.”

The 2021 fall supper takes place on Oct. 24 from 4:30-6:30 p.m.

Everyone must pre-order by Oct. 18 so quantities can be finalized.

To order, call Swallow

at 306-646-7725.

Net profits are used to help out these smaller communities in many different ways and the fall supper is often their largest fundraiser of the year.

Alameda Truth and Reconciliation Walk Submitted by Dwayne Henderson More than 40 people gathered outside the Alameda United Church on Sept.

30 to begin a walk to recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Third generation residential school survivor Tammy Ignatiuk of Carnduff led with a Cree Healing Prayer and smudging ceremony to bless the walk.

She was proud to be joined by her husband, Staff Sgt. Warren Ignatiuk of the Carnduff RCMP, and their two children, Halyna and

Danylo Ignatiuk. w Halyna assisted her mother with the Cree prayer, reciting the words in English.

The participants, who ranged from three to 78 years of age, then left the church grounds with signs and banners to honor those affected by residential schools and colonization in Canada. They walked approximately seven kilometres from Alameda to the junction of Highways 9 and 18, and back to the church grounds.

Local firefighters and RCMP members from Carnduff followed along to pro-

vide their support. Traffic slowed, stopped, and honked their horns in encouragement and acknowledgment.

A to-go meal following the event raised more than $300, with the funds going to the United Church of Canada’s Healing Fund which “supports healing initiatives for survivors of the residential school system and its ongoing intergenerational impacts.”

Thank you to all who participated in the walk.

The Alameda United Church says it will continue to find ways to support Truth and Reconciliation.

How does practising gratitude improve your mental health?

Submitted by Envision Counselling and Support Centre

“Remember your P’s and Q’s” is an old proverb that helps to teach gratitude, and it also helps with positive mental well-being.

According to life coach Derrick Carpenter, people who regularly practice gratitude find many benefits. By taking time to notice and reflect, grateful people experience more positive emotions, feel

more alive, sleep better, express more compassion and kindness, and even boast of stronger immune systems.

Carpenter says practising gratitude can be big or small; it’s perfectly fine to thoughtfully appreciate something as simple as homemade dessert.

When a person is thinking about things they are grateful for, it is very difficult for negative thoughts and voices to exist. Gratitude naturally shifts our brain into a posi-

tive thinking space as it is difficult to think negatively about things we are actively appreciating. The best part of this coping skill is that there is no right or wrong way to do it, the only way is what works best for you.

There are many different ways to practice gratitude, even if for 60 seconds. You could say it out loud or write out what you are grateful for as a way to start your day. You can also review things you were grateful for during

the day before falling asleep a night, which can also help improve your sleep.

Try a gratitude walk, where you take stock of what is around you and notice the good things as you walk. A different way to experience gratefulness is to spend time with a person who you appreciate and appreciates you.

And while you’re at it, why not include others directly into your expression of gratitude? You could write a gratitude letter to

someone who had an impact on you whom you’ve never properly thanked. You could also share the day’s grateful moments around the dinner table. The conversations that follow may give you even more reasons to give thanks.

It is not easy to practice gratitude when you are feeling mentally unwell as it can feel like the last thing you want to do. It is a very powerful way to help boost your mood and shift your mindset. Mindy

Kaling put it beautifully when she said “Gratitude is the closest thing to beauty manifested in emotion.” Gratitude is a great coping skill because it is free and always accessible.

If you need someone to talk to, contact Envision Counselling and Support Centre to find out more about our Rapid Access Counselling, which accommodates both in-person and telephone needs.

If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 9-1-1.

Every Child Matters donation Blurred vision

White Bear Education student Leslie Lonethunder accepts a school donation from Patty Joyea, owner of Moose Mountain Apparel.

By Gord Paulley At the Sept. 30 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation event, White Bear resident and Councillor Patty Joyea donated a generous amount to the White Bear Education Complex. This

is the second year that Patty has supplied Every Child Matters tshirts to White Bear First Nation residents and surrounding communities. Joyea has also supplied shirts to residents across Canada. Her father was a survivor of the

residential school system many years ago and this day is an important one, bringing awareness to the cause.

Accepting the generous donation is White Bear Education student Leslie Lonethunder.

Her business is Moose Mountain Apparel.

I’m not sure when or where I found a small lapel pin. Small it is but so applicable in these days of masks and hidden facial features.

Here’s how it reads: “Hi, I can’t remember your name either.”

It’s those masks, those ever-present pieces of fabric that cover most of the face, including the nose and for those of us who wear eye glasses, our proper line of vision, that blur or distort our ability to clearly discern who’s behind them.

Thankfully in most cases, hearing the voice or chatting with the mask-wearer clears up the distortion.

I’ve been thinking a lot about other types of blurred vision that I, and others, I’m sure, have also encountered during these times. For

Linda Wegner Words of Worth

me, it’s my near-obsession with crossword puzzles that counters my sense of frustration over the limitations associated with this new normal. As well, and as shallow and tasteless as this may seem to some readers, its my daily trek through the drivethru lane for my medium steeped tea that constitutes my social interactions.

I’ve realized that all too many times I’ve failed to focus my attention on God and on His word. As that realization hit home, I’ve thought of the words of this old hymn: “All your

anxiety, all your care, Bring to the mercy seat, leave it there, Never a burden He cannot bear, Never a friend like Jesus.” (Edward H. Joy) “For now [in this time of imperfection] we see in a mirror dimly [a blurred reflection, a riddle, an enigma], but then [when the time of perfection comes we will see reality] face to face. Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God].” (1 Corinthians 13:12) What a vision that’ll be!

Maryfield Sunrise Villa happenings Submitted by Betty Walker

This finds me this week wondering where the time has gone, as it is fall already. So far we are enjoying beautiful weather, which gives everyone a chance to tidy up the summer and get ready for winter.

Inside things are the same, not lik-

ing the new updated rules but I realize unless we do them, it’s not going to get better. Things were much better for my money purse as I won twice at Bingo.

Many of us are still outdoors walking and enjoying it.

Janet still has the talent to play some music for us and bring back many fond memories.

One of our staff members has a much different look since she had an 18inch braid cut off to donate to cancer to make wigs for cancer victims and I know it will be appreciated so very much. Thank you.

This week brings our monthly meeting to help plan our next year for life at the Villa.

Alida news - a haunted house at the rink Submitted by Edel Cowan It is now official – the Alida Haunted House will be held during the last two weekends of October (22, 23, 29, 30 and 31). The group has decided to go ahead and host the event. There are of course COVID restrictions that must be followed.

One must be fully vaccinated and be able to show proof of your vaccinations.

One must wear a mask while attending the event. Small groups (3-5) to tour through at same time. So far these are the only restrictions which seem to apply to our event.

Please help our volunteers and comply with these restrictions – they are only following protocol and rules set out to help protect everyone.

The rink has surely taken on a new look when you look out onto the curling ice surface – it is one big black area where nothing can be seen, but when touring through one will find that there are about 20 different areas, tunnels or pathways with much paraphernalia and visitors present – you enter at your own risk!

This year they have decided to hold a murder mystery, where you will have a certain amount of time to solve the

clues and escape the murder room. One must book in advance for this event, again only a small group may participate at one time.

If you have any questions, want to book a spot in the murder room or are looking for more info please call Shelly at 306-485-7023, she’ll gladly pass on any info available.

The Alida Fun Fair it is also a go – it will be held on Oct. 31 from noon to 3 p.m.

There will be lots of fun and games and treats for the young ones to enjoy. Make sure you wear your costume and enjoy the day. There will be no spooks at the haunted house during the fun fair; they will arrive later after the fun fair closes.

Betty-Jo De Jong of Lashburn has been down visiting with her dad, Bob Harrison for a while and while here also renewed acquaintances with a few friends as well.

Gail McLachlin spent a few days visiting with her family in Calgary – daughter, Grace, Luke McKenna and grandchildren Thea and Finn, son, Mitch Cowie and Andrea Gohm.

Randy and Glenda Zelionka of Loon Lake visited with his parents Lawrence and Dot Zelionka for a while in late

September when they helped with cleaning up the garden areas and preparing for upcoming winter months.

Congratulations and best wishes to Trevor and Teresa (Johnston) Dyck who were married on the last weekend of September.

On Sept. 23, Ernest and Dianne Lemieux travelled to Lloydminster where they visited with family, son Michael, Lynsey and boys. They helped celebrate grandson Mason’s sixth birthday a few day early, then returned home on the 27th. While there Dianne drove to Lashburn to visit with Charlotte (Hine) Bishop, a friend from 60 years back – they did a lot of reminiscing.

Visiting with Brian and Margaret Peet for a few days this past week were her brother, Maurice and Cindy Germain of Regina. While here they helped the family celebrate Margaret’s birthday. Happy birthday Margaret, and may you have many more to come.

Members of the Golden Gate Centre hosted the Alzheimer’s Coffee Break on Sept. 29, where they had a fair good crowd attending throughout the afternoon hours. They raised approximately $484 for the Alzheim-

A haunted house will be held at the Alida rink later this month.

Some members of the Greenfield family of Vancouver visited in the area on Oct. 4 as they were bringing their mother Vivian (née Rasmussen) Greenfield’s ashes back to be placed in the Dannevirke Lutheran Cemetery to be near her two of her younger sisters.

Vivian had passed away last October (2020).

The Alida Hall and Rink Association have decided to hold a take-out fall supper on Nov. 7 at the Alida Hall.

Pre-order by Nov. 1 and prepayment is required. To place your order call Sherri at 306485-7380 or talk to Linda at the post office. I for one can hardly wait for that delicious turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, carrots, coleslaw, a bun and pineapple dessert.

The Village of Alida and the R.M. of Reciprocity No. 32 are now under a fire ban as ordered by our fire department.

Please be very cautious as it is so very dry out there.
