Arcola Optimists bring Music City to the Mac By Lynne Bell The Arcola Optimist Club transformed the town’s MacMurray Theatre into Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe, in an effort to raise the roof-and the profile- of the town’s historic hall, as they welcomed Nashvillebased singer-songwriters Victoria Banks, Phil Barton, and Emily Shackleton to the stage on Oct. 25. “I’m just really happy we had a chance to put on such a great show,” said Optimist Club secretary-treasurer Glen Lawson. “We had a close-to sellout crowd, and the community’s response was great. I’d just like to thank everyone for coming out and I’d also like to thank our sponsors. Without their support and generosity, we couldn’t have put on a show of this calibre.” “This gives us a leg-up on getting the whole renovation done. It gives us a chance to do immediate repairs to the roof so we can make sure we save things,” adds Lawson. “I can’t thank Emily, Phil and Victoria enough for coming out. They gave us a great evening and were so supportive of this project, even donating a portion of their CD sales for the evening to the fund.” The accomplished trio often write together in Nashville, and have collectively and individually composed a catalogue of hit songs-recorded by Sara Evans, Lee Brice, Wynonna Judd, Johnny Reid, and Jessica Simpson, and others. Barton and Shackleton have also written songs that have been featured on the television series ‘Nashville.’ “Victoria Banks has hosted Telemiracle three times and has a new CD, ‘Indigo’ that was released Oct. 7,” said Lawson. “She was named Female Artist of the year in 2010 and Songwriter of the Year by the Canadian Country Music Association. She’s also written songs for people like Sara Evans and Johnny Reid.”

The Arcola Optimist Club brought a night in Nashville to the town’s historic MacMurray Theatre on Oct. 25. ‘A Night at the Bluebird Cafe’ featured Nashville singer-songwriters (l-r) Emily Shackleton, Victoria Banks, and Phil Barton,who have all written hits for numerous country artists. The performance was “not only a great show, but it enabled us to fundraise for the theatre and also use the Mac to its full potential,” according to Glen Lawson of the Arcola Optimists.

CES students bring laughs with Blackbeard the Pirate

Staff photo by Kelly Running Staff photo by Kelly Running

The 2014 cast of Blackbeard the Pirate. By Kelly Running Every year the Missoula Children’s Theatre makes a stop in Carlyle at the elementary school. They arrive early in the week with kids auditioning on the Monday, then work towards performing the production on the Friday. This year’s production was titled Blackbeard the Pirate, and was held at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 24. The one hour long musical was entertaining, bringing laughter to the filled gymnasium. Beginning with Jolly Rodger (Tour Actor/ Director, Andrew Stairs) getting the attention of some Beach Bums (Sydnie Bouchard, Kyra Cochrane, Brooklyn Delorme, Kenna Hagel, Braydon Hill, and Breck TherensWaterman). Jolly Rodger then tells them a tale of adventure from the past and the treasure pirates hid on the beach. Taken back in time by seaweed creatures(Zadie Gervais, Jacob Kirk, Carter Morrison, Darcie Rae, and Jaiden Riddell) a scene unfolds of pirates Blackbeard (Ashley Gilks), Bluebeard (Kaysha Turner), Redbeard (Madison Messier), Greybeard (Madison Paulo), Yellowbeard (Sydney Flynn), and Peachfuzz (Makenna Slykhuis) who find

treasure and later steal a ship. The sailors (Bea Caan, Jaden Mitchell, Zacchaeus Nicholl, Summer Rutten, Briana Sharp, and Max Waugh) chase the pirates to the beach where the treasure was buried by the pirates who planned on coming back for it later. The pirates chase away the sailors, all but one, Lt. Maynard (Tarris Valentine) and leave believing their treasure is safe. Lt. Maynard then tracks down the real hiding place of the treasure which happened to be inside of Sam the Clam (voiced by Riley Gilks). The treasure, water from the Fountain of Youth, is then drunk by Lt. Maynard who transforms into Jolly Rodger. Jolly Rodger was therefore 300 years old while telling the Beach Bums his tale and although there was no more water left from the Fountain of Youth he encouraged them to be active and lead a healthy lifestyle always remembering to stay safe from the sun through slipping on a long sleeved shirt, slopping on sunscreen, and slapping on a hat. These were the main lessons of the production. Many laughs came through the introduction of sea creatures and parrots. The parrots (Alyssa Bee, Hunter Colpitts, Lily Cormier, Karsyn Gervais,

Ashlee Lenius, Emma Pelletier, Katelyn Rutten, Kassidy Schultz, Sawyer Tomaszewski, Jayda Yanyu-Littlechief, Jole Yanyu-Littlechief, and Katie Yanyu-Littlechief) asked Jolly Rodger for crackers and one parrot wanted an English muffin. Two crocodiles (Ty Fehrenbach and Brityn Baker) in a relationship squabbling were calmed down by the mermaids (Samantha Colpitts, Rylee Frache, Taya Kakakaway, Gia Maxie, Raya Nahbexie, Payton Spry, and Krimson Standingready). The mermaids, however, were unable to calm the “cha cha’ing” crabs (Lainey Levesque, Addyson Morse, Tyra Newell, Summer Rutten, Brianna Sharp, and Max Waugh). The crabs explained they were crabs, so they were always crabby and they were also in charge of protecting the treasure. The production also brings in youth to help as Assistant Directors. This year Riley Gilks, Riley Park, and Presley Wilcox helped the Tour Actor/ Director Sam Ricci. The school was thankful for the continued support from Carroll Dyck on the piano as an accompanist. Overall the performance brought laughter and enjoyment to those in the crowd.

EARLY DEADLINE Due to the Nov. 11 holiday The Observer will have an early deadline for the Friday, Nov. 14 issue. Deadline for ad copy is Friday, Nov. 7 at 5 p.m.

Bluebeard, Redbeard, Blackbeard, Greybeard, Yellowbeard, and Peachfuzz introduce themselves to the audience.

From page 1 Night in Nashville “Phil Barton is from Australia and wrote Lee Brice’s number one hit ‘A Woman Like You’ and Emily Shackleton is from Minnesota and has written songs for Reba McEntire, Sara Evans, and Wynonna Judd. Both she and Phil have written songs for the TV show ‘Nashville’, as well.” Although Banks hails from Muskoka, Ont., Barton from Australia, and Shackleton from rural Minnesota, all three were unanimous in their praise for the town of Arcola. “I love places like this,” said Banks. “Really small towns appreciate the music and this town is beautiful.” “The audience is super-appreciative,” added Barton. “And the acoustics are amazing.” “I grew up in a town of 900 people,” added Shackleton. “It’s my first time in Canada, but I feel like my grandma and grandpa should be here tonight. That’s how much it reminds me of home here.” Canadian Banks opened the concert with a request that the audience stand and sing ‘Oh Canada’, saying, “It’s so good to be back in my home country. And this week, my home country has had it hard. Please join us in the singing of our

national anthem.” After that heartfelt start, all three artists entertained and enthralled the audience with a collection of their hits--and the stories behind the songs---including Banks’ ‘Dance With Me,’ recorded by Johnny Reid, Barton’s award-winning “A Woman Like You’, and Shackleton’s ‘Love Like Mine’, a hit for both Canadian duo One More Girl and Hayden Paniettiere, star of TV’s ‘Nashville.’ Hinting at both heartbreak and hilarity while giving the audience the personal history behind their hits, the trio playfully inserted Canadian content into the song ‘Winnebago’, referencing the Saskatchewan Roughriders, the Canadian ‘eh’ and even Arcola’s bear statue. However, Shackleton emphasized the trio were there to help preserve the Mac, saying: “I’d like to give a shout out to Glen [Lawson] and the Optimist Club. You have a beautiful theatre here. Look after it, we hope you have us back again to play on this stage.” Optimist secretarytreasurer Lawson said the evening was a success and will aid the club greatly in both the theatre’s preservation and the service club’s other

projects. “This event gives us the first step. We’re taking a proactive approach to fixing the roof on the theatre. We also are looking at a front-end renovation and restoration.” “The Optimist Club also supports other community projects in Arcola,” he added. “Right now, we’re hoping to complete renovations to the MacMurray Theatre and the Optimist Legion Hall. We also sponsor the Arcola School Nutrition Program, which provides breakfast to students and we fund an annual scholarship to a local high school grad in the amount of $2,500.” “Our next big event is the Snowmobile Rally in January. We partner with other local organizations, and our share of the funds raised will go to the theatre.” “We’re going to do a spring concert in the Mac,” added Lawson. “It’ll depend on whether we get the artist we want, but we have a pattern of doing at least two of these concerts a year, for a couple of reasons. We get a different crowd into the theatre and we can showcase some great musical entertainment right here.” “It’s become a really good tradition and we’d like to keep it up.”

What can you find in the Middle of No Where By Kelly Running Seven years ago Amanda Cairns of Maryfield decided to go into business for herself and now she is happily running the successful, Middle of No Where Day Spa. Located at 205 Main St. in Maryfield, Cairns was unsure if the business would thrive or not, but it was a chance she was willing to take with much support from the community and local area. “I didn’t know how it would work, but it’s been good,” Cairns explained. “Our grade 12 teacher actually told us that if we could get into a service-

providing career that the baby boomers will be to the point where they’re looking to take care of themselves, treat themselves, and she was right-they’re a huge part of my clientele.” Unsure what she was going to do out of high school, Cairns took a year off to work on a dairy farm in Australia, but the thought of becoming an esthetician remained which led her to take schooling from SIAST in Estevan. “I left school and thought that I might like to be an esthetician, but I wasn’t sure,” she explained. “It was always just in the back of my mind.”

“I was the biggest tomboy ever, anyone who knew me growing up always says, ‘You’re doing what for a living?’” The reasons behind Cairns love of her work, however, has to do with the artistic challenge and the flexibility which comes with owning her own business. “I like the artistic side of it; when someone brings in crazy nail art I enjoy the challenge and it’s really fun,” explained Cairns. “You get to visit with people all day long which I really like.” “Working for myself is awesome! The flexibility is

Front Porch Interiors proud to promote Wawota By Kelly Running Over the years Front Porch Interiors, located in Wawota, has built relationships and enjoys giving back to their community. This includes fall galas for their customers and five to six Ladies Nights Out throughout the year as well. “It’s been nine years for me and in those nine years I’ve built relationships,” explained Shannon Houff, the owner. “I’ve worked exceptionally hard to ensure our clientele knows and trusts what we do here.” “Over 2,000 people were interested in coming to our fall events; to me that’s amazing.” With people coming from far and wide to shop at Front Porch, Houff explained that doing well is based on the community spirit of Wawota as well. “One business thrives when the others thrive, so it’s important to work together,” Houff said. This mentality is how Houff first came up with a way to showcase what Wawota has to offer. “We have King’s and Grammies Gift Emporium to host a day with us, letting people know we’re doing it altogether, that Wawota has a lot to offer. Second Street Eats and Moose Mountain Meats agreed to do a meal that day too of pork and chicken souvlaki. The meal will be hosted at the Wawota Hotel.” “We want people coming to spend a few hours to shop and enjoy a great meal. I want people to think, ‘I can’t believe we did that in Wawota.’ King’s has lots to offer and so does Grammies.” This particular event promoting Wawota is being held on Nov. 5 and 6, between 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. Houff says that in addition to working on this project, Front Porch has

I’ve grown in the nine years I’ve been in this business.” Houff sits down with clients and works with them to bring together different pieces one wants to work into their space. She then finds the best quality of items to finish the room with. “I like well-built products with companies who are willing to take care of me, so I can take care of my community because I want to hold my head high when I see people on the street.

The question is, would I sell this to my family, and yes, I would.” This comes down to pride in personal service: “People will bring in their floor plan, tell me what they’re thinking, and we find what you are looking for. About 90 percent of our stuff is customizable to a degree and we carry all the fabric samples and wood stains to help build your room.” “I put my heart and soul into every person I help.” Another exciting part of Houff’s business is her new position as an Accessories Buyer/Overseer with a buying group she is part of. She also currently has a blog with them as well and is excited about her opportunity to to work with a nationwide company across Canada and the United States.

really nice because my kids go in a lot of directions, so to have the freedom to close for a day to be able to go with them is nice.” Middle of No Where Day Spa, named for Cairns’ answer to when people ask where Maryfield is, offers a variety of services as Cairns has in fact grown her business over the years. Marlee Swallow and Pauline Lincoln have been working out of Middle of No Where Day Spa for a number of years, while Lisa Wilson has recently joined the team. Swallow is a certified massage therapist and Lincoln is the spa’s sugaring expert. Wilson has recently finished her schooling as an esthetician and being from Fairlight, was interested in the chance to work nearby. Together the group offers manicures, pedicures, facials, body wraps, waxing, reflexology, sugaring, massages, and more. “We have a little bit of everything,” Cairns said smiling. Though it seems surprising for a day spa to be thriving in Maryfield, with a population of approximately 400 people, Cairns attributes the success to the town and the surrounding communities. “Not everyone in Maryfield gets a manicure or pedicure, but they have been very supportive,” Cairns

little towns exist. Local support is so important; it’s why the grocery store here is still open or why the tea house in Fairlight is so successful. You can go get everything from the city, but local support is huge and I think people like to support local businesses.”

Not business as usual

he movement out of the corner of my eye caught my attention. It was a fluttering flag on the driver’s side window of a vehicle parked in the adjacent lot. We are accustomed to seeing these types of flags emblazoned with the logos of our favorite teams; Rider flags are plenteous, so are NHL flags, particularly during the playoffs. But this one didn’t bear a sport’s team mascot. This flag, moving freely as it caught a gentle gust of wind, was the familiar red and white of the maple leaf. However this was October 23, not typically a day we would think of celebrating something specifically Canadian. But then again this day wasn’t typical. It was the day after. The day after the images, the sounds and aftermath left us feeling shaken. As my eye caught a glimpse of the flag, a lump caught in my throat. Something as simple as fabric fluttering in the breeze brought out a mix of raw emotions. Because it wasn’t just fabric. It wasn’t just a flag. It’s the symbol known around the world as representing Canada. Historians have long searched for words to define the Canadian identity. Coming up with a description has filled volumes of books, columns of copy, and hours of debate. Years ago the analysis often focussed on what Canadians were not…more so than what we are. But those ideas seemed to espouse more of an anti-identity. This is a relatively young nation with birthday number 150 in the offing. When it comes to nation building and identity it is still a work in progress. There are events that are pointed to as defining moments in helping achieve a sense of nationhood, along with the moments that we recall individually as serving to establish a particular pride in our country. Wednesday, October 22, 2014 will take its place amongst those moments. That evening and the next morning we heard our leaders speak with resolve that Canada will remain the same, that we will not allow terror to change us and that it would be business as usual. I understand and respect the message, but (and not to be contrary to the experience of our leaders), I am going to try very hard to ensure it is not business as usual. Business as usual implies that nothing changes, and that--for me--is unacceptable. There is no citizenship card that provides immunity from catastrophes, attacks or hardship, but my experience living in this country all my life has been as close as it gets. As proud as we can be of being Canadian, we need to realize that it is not some external entity we are taking pride in. It is the collective contribution of its citizens that makes our country what it is. It is the people that founded and run our governments, organizations and institutions, it is the reality of what has been done in war and peacekeeping missions, it’s the initiatives and discoveries that had their origins on this soil, and the profile that has been established around the world. We are all intended--no, required, to be part of it; those of us born here and those who arrive later to pursue life in a country whose strength in its history and whose promise lies in its people. All in a land that is truly glorious and free. But that cannot simply be assumed. It demands our diligence and that is why it is not simply business as usual but business that is highly unusual because in so many ways our country is unusual among nations. Some countries are known primarily for their geography, economy, military, culture, cuisine or role on the world stage. Canada is pieces of that--but more. Canada is its people. It’s what inspires us to respond to the needs of others, expresses shock at the intrusion of terror, stirs our soul at the actions of reluctant heroes, and causes a lump to form when our flag flies at half-mast. The debate will go on as historians and social scientists work to define what it means to be Canadian. Everything from Vimy Ridge to Terry Fox to immigration to health care to the Vancouver Olympics will continue to be explored and written about. But at the heart of these, and every other event, are the people behind it. Canada is its people--and that’s the best identity of all. That’s why we must not just be highly resilient, but also duly diligent and deeply appreciative. That’s my outlook.

Insensitivities south of the border regarding terrorist attacks By Kelly Running

hat is an act of terror? In Canada, it is any arbitrary violence and death done to innocent people who are simply doing their jobs and minding their own business. Last week, Canada saw two separate terrorist attacks. The first occurred on Monday, Oct. 20, with two members of the Canadian Armed Forces being deliberately struck by a car. One was wounded and the other died. This was followed by a shooting on Wednesday, Oct. 22, at the National War Memorial by a masked gunman who shot and killed the soldier guarding the memorial, Cpl. Nathan Cirillo. Further gunshots were reported inside the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings. Both incidents are acts of terrorism and have struck the nation. They are not to be taken lightly, but we cannot let it change our values as Canadians. Last year in a speech by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, he noted that the arrests of two men conspiring to attack a VIA train in an act of terrorism was not the time to “commit sociology.” Sociology being the study of the development, structure, and functioning of human society; ultimately it would be an attempt to understand why people turn to terrorism. His comment a year ago

makes sociology sound like a bad thing, but is it possible that it is necessary to understand why young men are turning to radicalism and terrorism. In fact I wrote about Harper’s use of wording then because if terrorism is a threat then why would you not want to study sociology and why people do what they do in society? Hopefully, Prime Minister Harper has changed his mind about “committing sociology” now that there have been further terrorist attacks. The loss of these soldiers affected people across Canada bringing together a nation and Prime Minister Harper did provide strength in time of mourning: “This week’s events are a grim reminder that Canada is not immune to the types of terrorist attacks we have seen elsewhere around the world.” “We are also reminded that attacks on our security personnel and on our institutions of governments are by their very nature attacks on our country, on our values, on our society, on us Canadians as a free and democratic people who embrace human dignity for all.” “But let there be no misunderstanding – we will not be intimidated. Canada will never be intimidated.” The tragedy, however, that brought together the nation was then trivialized by a talk show host from the U.S., Rosie O’Donnell. Ultimately she chalked up the incidents to being caused by mental illness. The

attackers were possibly mentally ill, but they were still acts of terrorism that have affected not only those soldiers’ families, but the entire country. Her focus then fell from the Canadian attacks to her saying: “Eighty-six people a day are killed in America with guns, and you know what? That is terrorism here.” Yes, it is. But why would you marginalize an incident in Canada to bring attention to terrorist attacks in the United States. Surely they are all upsetting events that are to be acknowledged and not downgraded. We are different countries and are allowed to react to what happens within our country accordingly, however, it is in bad form to make thoughtless comments when a country is reeling over a tragedy. The original comments O’Donnell was backing up was those of model, Crissy Teigen, saying “Active shooting in Canada, or as we call it in America, Wednesday.” Though her intentions were likely to draw the lack of acknowledgement of shootings in the United States to attention, she tweeted it during the attack, which was insensitive considering people were afraid and panicked by the attack. Was there more to come? A man just lost his life and there was uncertainty over the number of shooters in the area. For some of our neighbours south of the border to lack the empathy we give them in troubling times was quite surprising.

Observer Dear Ellen

EDITORIAL

Dear Ellen, My husband is an alcoholic. Over the years he’s gone to recovery centers and AA and everything will be fine for a while, then he starts to drink again. I think I could handle the drinking, but he gets so miserable when he’s been drinking and he takes everything out on me. Sometimes he even hits me. I know I should just leave, but when he’s not drinking he is a good guy, and good father. Confused Dear Confused, Many people hold the belief that partner abuse is caused by alcohol and other drugs. That if the addiction is under control the abuse will stop. Yet research has shown that although there is a correlation between alcohol/drugs and partner abuse, they are not the cause of, rather the excuse for the abuse. Partner abuse is a learned pattern of abusive behaviours (verbal, emotional, physical or sexual) used by one person to control the other in an intimate relationship. So knowing this my question to you is does he go around and hit other people when he is drunk like a friend, co-worker, or neighbour? I suspect probably not. Abusers do not hit their partners because they are drunk, they hit them because they believe they have the right to power and control over their partner’s life. I would also like to clarify that abuse does not come in just the form of hitting. Some other forms of abuse could be financial, having all the control over the household income, could be spiritual, by belittling the partners desire to attend a church, could be emotional when one partner attacks the other’s self worth. Chances are that these forms of abuse creep out in everyday life, not just when he is drinking. If this sounds familiar to your relationship I urge you to seek out help and learn more about the dynamics of abusive relationships.

Through the Lens By Moose Mountain Photography Club

Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future. ~ Walt Disney

Weather always topic of discussion By Calvin Daniels

f there is one topic which always gets discussed whenever farmers get together, it is the weather. When I was a youngster, I can remember the gatherings in the agent offices of local rural elevators. Farmers waiting their turn to deliver a load of grain would ‘hang-out’ over coffee and talk yields and weather. If the conversation lasted long enough, generally winter deliveries when time was less rushed than at harvest, talk might include the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs, or the local Ramblers, the senior team in nearby Tisdale, but weather was always first up as topic. In most farm houses the first thing that happens after crawling out of bed in the morning is a trip to the kitchen where it is a 50/50 scenario whether the coffee pot is turned on first, or the radio to hear a weather forecast. Such is the reality of a way of life where timely rains, untimely storms and frost, or dayafter-day of extreme heat all have a direct impact on how much money the farm will generate in a given year.

In recent years talk, at least in the spring, has meant talk about rain. The deluges which hit several communities hard on July 1, 2010, and the more general flooding of late June this year being the two biggest topics of conversation regarding weather long after the events themselves. It now appears severe rain events are likely to be more the norm in the coming years, at least which is how larger weather influencing events on a global scale are being interpreted by some. Evelyn Browning-Garriss, an historical climatologist and author of the Browning Newsletter, told the 2014 Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit the eastern Prairies are in for more rain. According to a Western Producer article, “the new normal, which includes wet springs for Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan, is the result of the Pacific Ocean being in a cool phase and the Atlantic Ocean being in a warm phase. Browning-Garriss said they’re going to remain that way for a long, long time. “The Pacific Decadal Oscillation, which

operates in 50-year cycles, switched to the cool phase in 2006, while the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, which turned hot in 1995, tends to stay in that phase for 40 years and then switch to the cool phase for 30 years. “Browning-Garriss said prevailing western winds take cool air from the Pacific across the Prairies in spring, where it meets with hot and wet air from the Atlantic. “The epicentre of that collision is near Manitoba’s Red River Valley, which means at least another 20 years of excessively wet springs for the area.” Back on a Prairie farm it might be a little difficult to get one’s head around the great oceans impacting weather here, or the idea the patterns are decades long. But the bottom line does seem to be more rain ahead, and that means farmers will be under the gun to get crops planted, and under the threat of losing acres to flooding. While there is nothing farmers can do to change the weather, it will require some innovative thinking to deal with potentially years of wetter than normal springs.

Stellar Season: Golf Kenosee awarded PGA Saskatchewan’s Facility of the Year Award By Lynne Bell After a stellar season, Golf Kenosee is ending the 2014 golf year on a high note, as the course was named PGA Saskatchewan’s Facility of the Year in Saskatoon on Oct. 28, one of only four nominees. Kyle Mulligan, Golf Kenosee’s head golf professional says, “It’s an honour to win this award and what a great way to finish 2014.” PGA Executive Director Ken Morrow says, “Golf Kenosee hosted the PGA and it opened a lot of our members’ eyes as to what was there. They were a great host club. With the facilities there and with everything Golf Kenosee had to offer, it’s pretty simple to see why they were one of the nominees. They were definitely deserving and they’ve had a great year.” Golf Kenosee, the Lloydminster Golf and Country Club, Warman’s

Legends Golf Club and the Wascana Country Club in Regina were all in the running for the prestigious award. Mulligan, says, “This nomination and now, this award, is a huge step for our facility and for the tourist area around Golf Kenosee, as well. Just to be nominated with the courses we’re nominated alongside shows that we’re doing the right things here in the southeast.” Mulligan credits everyone-past and present-whose team effort contributed to Golf Kenosee’s ongoing growth and success. “Obviously, members, volunteers and our staff all made a very good impression, and we’re coming off a stellar year,” says Mulligan. “Every time you start the season, your goal is to make it the best season so far.

In May, we celebrated Jordan Fenwick’s becoming a PGA of Canada Professional. In the first week of July, we hosted the 2014 Golf Saskatchewan Senior Ladies and Ladies Championship. Two weeks after that, Golf Kenosee hosted the top PGA of Saskatchewan Professionals for the 2014 PGA Championship.” “In August, we held our annual Seed Hawk Moose Mountain Classic, one of the best ones we’ve ever had. Also in August, Paul Grimes represented Golf Kenosee at the Canadian Seniors Championship in West Vancouver. And we’ve also recently held our Club Match Play Tournament.” “That we are nominated as one of the top four courses is a real achievement and there are so many people to thank, I probably can’t list them all,” says Mulligan. “We’re a very public course, not a private one.

Golf Kenosee was one of only four golf courses in the province to be nominated for PGA Saskatchewan’s Facility of the Year Award. PGA Executive Director Ken Morrow says, “Golf Kenosee hosted the PGA and it opened a lot of our members’ eyes as to what was there. They were a great host club. With the facilities there and with everything Golf Kenosee had to offer, it’s pretty simple to see why they were one of the nominees. They were definitely deserving and they’ve had a great year.” residents of southeast Saskatchewan and elsewhere should come out and enjoy.

Rider Insider Many people are surprised at the positive nature of the comments and the upbeat feeling the Saskatchewan Roughriders displayed following Friday’s 40-27 loss to the Stampeders in Calgary. I mean, one would think the bells would be ringing like a five-alarm fire following the club’s fifth-straight loss at, perhaps, the worst possible time of the season. But they’re not and you’re about to read why. In another strange game in this incredibly strange 2014 season for Canada’s Team, Rider quarterback Kerry Joseph threw for a whopping 322 yards, two touchdowns, but three costly fourth quarter interceptions in just his second start. Yes, this game turned on a dime after three quarters when the Riders led by a surprising 25-17 margin over the CFL’s best club. The Riders had won eight in a row when leading going into the fourth period but for some reason they became completely unravelled on this latle-October night in the foothills. Joseph was picked off on three occasions down the stretch while the Riders simultaneously began taking turns drawing penalties on offense, defense and special teams. That’s the part that stings. The Stampeders never took a penalty after halftime while the Riders were flagged on eight second half occasions. And they were deserved wheth-

er you want to believe it or not. Is that disappointing and cause for concern? Yes. Was it ultimately fatal for the season? No. The view from the broadcast booth says if the Riders clean all these things up between now and semifinal time, they have a chance to get back to the dance. “I thought we all looked good,” Rider coach Corey Chamblin said in referring to his 9-8 team. “I was pleased with how we played early and believed through four quarters. We’ve been through some things the last number of weeks but I was pleased that we came to where we were as a team tonight. “When you play against the CFL’s best team, you have to be ready. We had some youth out there but they have to learn we have to be picture perfect against a team like Calgary.” And were the Riders ever young in this one! Veterans Brendon Labatte, Chris Best and Weston Dressler were all left at home along with leading rusher Anthony Allen. They were replaced on the roster by Dan Clark, Corey Watman, Ryan Smith and Keith Toston respectively. All of them are wet behind the ears, but performed admirably. “The young guys get a chance to play and you have to learn from that sometimes,” Chamblin continued. “A lot of things went well. All three phases played well early. The

Stamps just woke up and flexed their muscles near the end. We had a chance to win, we didn’t, but with a few additions we’ll be back in the championship.” Clearly the most positive showing came from the offense where the 41-year old Joseph turned back the clock and had the club’s first 300-yard passing game of the season. He sat back in the pocket and launched bombs that looked like they were being fired out of a cannon. Time after time. On occasion he rolled out as well which was something the Stampeders clearly weren’t ready for. It was a quantum leap from Joseph’s first start the week before, in which he had an admirable 213 yards, two touchdowns and two picks. Admit it – over the past two games Joseph has at least made you think it’s possible he could lead the Riders back to the Grey Cup hasn’t he? But we still don’t know if he’ll even get the chance. Top pivot Darian Durant was placed on the 6-game injured list on Thursday which may have been a smokescreen designed to fool other teams into thinking he’s done for the season. However in reality it was a bookkeeping decision that will save the club tens of thousands of dollars until Durant is activated again. That’s supposed to happen when the Riders reconvene after this week’s bye and close out the regular season at home against the Edmonton Eskimos on

Sports Wrap-up with Bruce Penton

What a playoff run by Royals! Win or lose the World Series, Kansas City Royals have been the story of Major League Baseball in 2014. Perennial also-rans, the Royals went on a playoff run for the ages — winning eight consecutive games against three American League rivals — to advance to the World Series against the playoff-hardened San Francisco Giants, world champs in 2010 and 2012 and gunning for another even-numbered-year title. While those in the Bay area were obviously rooting for the Giants, most of the rest of North America found it easy to cheer for the Royals. Everybody loves an underdog, right? This year’s Series wasn’t exactly David vs. Goliath, or the Christians vs. the Lions, but if you’d put a dollar or two down on the Royals during a March visit to Las Vegas, you’d be in line for a pretty major payday in late October. The Royals’ road to the Series started way back in December of 2012 when they traded one of their most coveted prospects, slugger Wil Myers, to Tampa Bay for some veteran pitching. Coming to Kansas City were all-star righthander James Shields and fellow righty Wade Davis, who has found a home in the KC bullpen. “We have to start winning games at the major league level, and the way you develop a winning culture is by winning major league games,” Royals general manager Dayton Moore said when the trade was made. “It’s time for us to start winning at the major league level.” It has been a while. The team’s last World Series appearance, which they won, was in 1985, 29 years ago. Since then? Mostly sad-sack teams and losing seasons. Royals could have all the great prospects in the world — Myers, Eric Hosmer, Alex Gordon come to mind — but without top-line pitching, Moore thought the Royals were going nowhere. Now, Shields anchors a solid pitching staff alongside journeymen veterans Jeremy Guthrie and Jason

Vargas and rookie Yordano Ventura, a 14-game winner. Davis as a bullpen setup specialist and Greg Holland as an almost unhittable closer have given the Royals an October to remember. San Francisco and Kansas City played three interleague games this year, with the Royals winning all three. But that was August, says Royals’ manager Ned Yost. The Giants “save their best for the end of the season.” So, evidently, do the Royals. This year’s World Series has all the makings of a true Fall Classic. • NOT SportsCenter on Twitter: “The #Royals give hope to all the teams that suck year after year after year after year that they too could do this one day. Well, except for the #Cubs. • Bob Molinaro of the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, after the Knicks’ Carmelo Anthony declared himself ‘the most underrated superstar that’s out there’; “And the most modest.” • Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “The NFL now has a sponsorship deal with Bose which will ban players from wearing “Beats by Dre” headphones during interviews and games. Violators will be fined. Good to know Roger Goodell and the league are taking on the tough issues.” • Scott Feschuk of Sportsnet Magazine, talking about the name of the Ottawa NHL team, the Senators: “We’re stuck with a name that conjures the mental image of Mike Duffy in a toga.” • Bob Molinaro again: “The Lakers’ Steve Nash sat out multiple practices after injuring his back carrying bags. Hate to say this about a player who’s given me so much enjoyment over the years, but at 40, he’s become the baggage.” • Brad Dickson of the Omaha World Herald: “Derek Jeter is on a recent Sports Illustrated cover. Oh, great — now his retirement is cursed.” • RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “The N.Y. Post says it may take the Knicks’ J.R. Smith a few months to learn the triangle. I’m guessing there’s three sides to that story.”

• Currie again from sportsdeke.com: “HelpAge International’s global rating of 96 countries has listed the best places in the world for seniors to live. The top three are Norway, Sweden and the San Antonio Spurs.” • Janice Hough again: “The Seahawks traded WR Percy Harvin to the NY Jets. Seattle will apparently receive a conditional draft pick in 2015. Harvin will receive the month of January off.” • And the Harvin trade inspired a couple of neat headlines: — New York Post: “Percy snatcher.” — Fark.com: “Ppppercy and the Jets.” • Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: ‘Dallas Cowboy running back Joseph Randle was arrested for shoplifting underwear and cologne. That’s odd. Now I could understand a New York Jet stealing underwear and cologne because they’re crappy and they stink.” • Kaseberg again: “As great as Chargers QB Phillip Rivers has been, the man who deserves the most credit for San Diego’s 5-1 success is former general manager, A.J. Smith, for staying fired.” • CBS’s David Letterman, on this year’s Nobel Prize for economics: “It went to the guy who sold Derek Jeter’s socks for 400 bucks.” Care to comment?

Crowdfunding campaign raises money for Nathan Cirillo’s son By Martha Perkins In the moments after Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was shot while standing on guard at the National War Memorial, several passersby immediately rushed to his side to perform first aid. One of them was lawyer Barbara Winters. “You are so loved,” she kept telling Cirillo, who was mortally wounded. “We’re all trying to help you.” As she later said to the Globe and Mail, “When you are dying, you need to be told how loved you are.” Winters’ message is echoed by so many Canadians who have been deeply touched and saddened by his death. There is a terrible irony that Cirillo, a reservist serving with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada, was shot at a sculpture which honours the tremendous sacrifices of the men and women in Canada’s Armed Forces. He was representing all Canadians in paying solemn tribute to the people who have died while protecting and preserving what it means to be Canadian. Cirillo was a single father who was devoted to his six-year-old son. In honour of all the values that Cirillo stood for, Glacier Media has started a memorial crowdfunding campaign on FundAid.ca. It

Sun Country Health Region’s President and CEO Marga Cugnet (far right) speaks to (l-r) former Carlyle mayors Audrey Young and Don Shirley and Carlyle alderman Brian Romaniuk at the Regional Health Authority’s public meeting Oct. 21 at the Kenosee Inn. Presentations were made on palliative care and advanced care directives, as well as an update on the Lean Management system. Cugnet also conducted a Wall Walk, with information about 2014-15 improvement projects. at Weyburn General Hospital by a Regina surgeon and for a CT scanner to be installed in Estevan’s St. Joseph’s Hospital; as well as strategies to improve staff engagement and strategies to reduce mental health wait times for the public. Sun Country’s president and CEO also encouraged: “Everybody, get your flu shots. The province has ordered more flu vaccine, and we encourage everyone to get their shots.” Cugnet also stated that the province is actively preparing for another, far more unlikely virus. “If you would have asked me if I would have ever expected to be talking about Ebola during my career in health care...” said Cugnet. “However, as a region and as a province, we are doing that planning and training. It’s very unlikely, but we are doing that training.” During her CEO summary, Cugnet said 2014 highlights from the region included three projects.

Twenty-five residents now occupy Radville Health Centre, Kipling’s Primary Health Clinic has hired a third physician, and plans are afoot to open the Redvers acute care centre in the near future. In addition, added Cugnet, “Carnduff now has a Primary Health Clinic. With the clinic open there, it means that there are now clinics in both Oxbow and Carnduff.” Cugnet stated that one of the region’s ongoing challenges was finding creative, community-based solutions in an effort to retain Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel and paramedics in rural areas and also acknowledged the region’s working relationship with STARS Air Ambulance. “We also have two collective agreements that aren’t settled-the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses (SUN) and the Health Sciences Association of Saskatchewan (HSAS),” she added.

try representatives gave presentations on palliative (end of life) care and advance care planning, giving those gathered information on what to expect from, and where to access palliative care in Saskatchewan, and advising them that the first point of access for palliative care is their nearest home care office. Palliative co-ordinators Jill Foley and Brenda Freeman responded to questions and stated that “Palliative care addresses the needs of both the patient and their family. Palliative care provides pain management and symptom management,” said Freeman. “We prepare [patients] for their symptoms, provide emotional and social support-with depression, anxiety and stress. We also facilitate difficult conversations.” “Palliative care also addresses family and caregiver support. Often, people are struggling and they’re worried that they’re not giving their loved ones enough care. We have to watch the caregivers or they’ll burn out,” added Freeman. “Palliative care takes place in the home, in hospitals, in lomg-term care facilities, even in prisons. It’s a team effort and encompasses everyone from physicians and nurses to pharmacists, spiritual care workers, occupational care workers, and volunteers.”

Rookie boys’ and junior boys’ volleyball teams continue practising Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:20. The senior boys’ volleyball team continues practising Tuesday evenings from 7-9 and Thursday mornings at 7:30. Thank you to the Carlyle & District Historical Society for their donation of a copy of the Blacktop to Black Gold to our school

library. The annual band concert will be held on Monday, November 24, at 7 pm. The Student Leadership Team is running a “We Scare Hunger” campaign. Each student advisory group is challenged to bring in the most food donations for the Food Bank. Donations will be accepted until Oct. 31. The SLT is also doing a Mom’s Pantry Fundraiser. There goal is to raise $6000 for school activities. The Science Club continues to meet one day a week after school. They are looking forward to National Science

The meeting will be in the high school library. All parents are welcome to attend. Anyone who is interested in advertising on the school’s virtual signs should contact Mr. Howe at the school. For all of your Gordon F. Kells news and updates, check out the virtual signs or visit our school blog at gfkells.wordpress. com!

From page 12 – Sun Country Health “Research has shown that people who receive palliative care live about three months longer, have fewer symptoms, have less depression and anxiety, and have a better quality of life,” concluded Freeman. Foley underscored the importance of an Advance Care Plan. “It is what wishes you have regarding your health care when you are unable to speak, for example, CPR, dialysis, a feeding tube, a breathing tube. It’s information that is very helpful to your health care team and your family.” In Saskatchewan, anyone over the age of 16 can make an advanced care plan and anyone over 18 can act as an individual’s proxy. Foley urged anyone interested in making a plan to consider their choice of proxy carefully. “It doesn’t have to be a family member, but if you don’t assign a proxy, if a situation comes up where you need one, one

will be assigned for you. Also, nothing is set in stone, once you make a plan. It can and should be reevaluated and rewritten at any time and kept up to date.” Sun Country will be adopting the ReginaQu’Appelle Health Care Region’s Advance Care planning tool, ‘My Voice’, added Foley. Chris McKee, executive director of the Kaizen Promotion Office (KPO) updated those present on the Lean management system. McKee said that Lean is intended to maximize customer value while minimizing waste. In a short but comprensive review, he outlined many of the projects implemented under Lean and an overview of how the system worked, stressing the health authority’s priorities and successes, which include: the design process and construction of Weyburn’s Primary Care Clinic, which opened in

Feb. 2014 and an emphasis on patient safety, staff input, faster admission times, better use of all resources, and “continuously improving.” Carlyle alderman Martin Tourand was in attendance and said, “Being new on council, it’s always good to get new experiences. I came to this meeting so I could find out what was new with the health board, so I could report back to council.” Chairman of the Redvers & District Health Board and Redvers Town Councillor, Mike Garnier agrees. “I think the meeting was very good and very useful. For example, it was good to get a detailed description of Lean, you hear about Lean, but it was helpful to get a detailed description. It was also good to know what’s going on in places other than Redvers, such as Kipling’s new doctor. It’s a good way to find out what’s going on in the entire region.”

Arcola’s ‘A Night at the Bluebird Cafe’ concert on Oct. 25 was a fundraiser for the town’s historic Mac Theatre. Nashville singer-songwriter Emily Shackleton signs a CD for Chris Birch of Arcola. The artists generously donated $5 from the sale of each CD towards the restoration and renovation of the heritage building.

Arcola Optimist’s Nashville Night

“The Mac is a heritage building with a unique art-deco facade,” says Glen Lawson of the Arcola Optimist Club. “We’ve done a lot of work on the inside, now we want to shore up the outside. This concert is a way for us to restore and improve the Mac as well as utilizing it to its full potential.” Pictured with Victoria Barton (r) and Emily Shackleton (l) is Arcola’s Cathy Burton, one of the many volunteers who have worked to restore and renovate the town’s

Arcola’s Optimist Club hosted area music lovers on Oct. 25 at the town’s historic MacMurray Theatre, as the club welcomed Nashville singer-songwriters, Victoria Banks, Phil Barton, and Emily Shackleton to the stage.(l-r) Shackleton and Banks sign CDs for appreciative listeners. Each performer donated a percentage of CD sales to the restoration of the art-deco building. Optimist Club member Glen Lawson says, “A performance like this wouldn’t be possible without generous sponsors. Eight local businesses have generously sponsored the show. They’ve all helped to make it happen, and we appreciate their support.”

Minnesota’s Emily Shackleton now calls Nashville home, and fittingly, has written songs featured on ABC’s hit television series, ‘Nashville’, as well as having written songs for Sara Evans, Wynonna Judd and Cassadee Pope, among others. An appreciative audience at Arcola’s Mac Theatre were treated to Shackleton’s songs and stories on Oct. 25, as part of ‘A Night at the Bluebird Cafe.’ Shackleton’s debut album, ‘Late Bloomer’ is now available on iTunes.

Victoria Banks was named 2010 Female Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year by the Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA). Besides touring with the likes of Reba McEntire and Randy Travis, Banks has written hits for Sara Evans, Jessica Simpson, and Johnny Reid. Banks was one of three Nashville singer songwriters who performed at the Oct. 25 fundraiser ‘A Night at the Bluebird Cafe’ benefiting the town’s historic MacMurray Theatre.

Australian Phil Barton moved to Nashville six years ago and since then, has garnered numerous songwriting awards. Chad Brownlee, Lee Brice, Sara Evans, Dustin Lynch, Darius Rucker, and Doc Walker have all recorded Barton’s compositions. Area music-lovers heard Barton’s songs and stories at the Arcola Optimists’ ‘A Night at the Bluebird Cafe’ on Oct. 25.

RCMP Musical Ride returns to Wawota in 2015 By Lynne Bell In a highly unusual-but happy-turn of events, the Town Of Wawota will be hosting the RCMP Musical Ride on July 28, 2015, 25 years after the famed troupe’s first performance in the community. Proceeds from the event will benefit Wawota’s Heritage Park. Meredith Swanson, of Wawota’s Business Enhancement Group, says, “We had the Musical Ride in Wawota back in 1990. I was involved in that one, so I sent in another application, hoping, but never really thinking we’d get them to come again. We lucked out, because they only go to certain provinces each year and in 2015, it’s only Saskatchewan and the Maritimes.” “We provided them with a really good experience the last time and we’d like to repeat that. We tried to look after them well. We barbequed a whole pig and they said then that they had never been looked after that well, ever.”

The Pearl Boutique and Sears will be closed Monday Nov. 3 and Tues. Nov 4th until 4 p.m. to prepare for the evening. We will then be open for our customer appreciation Christmas Open House! Tuesday 4-9

Drinks, treats, draws. 114 Main St, Carlyle

Swanson says that hosting an event of this size will require “all of the local volunteers we can get our hands on. We’ll need them to help with admission and parking, because we’re expecting 3,000 to 4,000 people.” “It’s early, but we’d also like to make sure that anyone needing help getting to the site-say, an elderly person-has assistance getting in and out.” Once again, the Musical Ride will be held at the same place as it was in 1990. “We have a beautiful natural ampitheatre on the north side of town,” he says. “It’s a beautiful site and an excellent setting for the Musical Ride, because you can sit up and look down on the riders’ formations, or you can sit down low and see things at horse-level. The highlight from my point of view is the setting. It’s not a rodeo ground, which is the type of place it’s usually held.” The RCMP officers will be in the area from

July 27-29, and the horses are moved in on the 27th and moved out on the 29th. Thirty-six members make up the troupe, and while they will stay in a nearby hotel, their horses will be housed in the Wawota arena. “We need 10-14 inches of dirt on the rink floor, along with other requirements,” says Swanson. “The RCMP have members who stay with and look after the horses at all times.” “We also need to pro-

Kids in Cars: Riley Raynard

Photos by Kelly Running

Seventeen-year-old Riley Raynard of Lampman says, “I knew from day one I was going to race.” After a winning season, Raynard says,” I want to win a track championship. I’d like to win a few more races and then move up to higher classes, into street stocks and then maybe to modifieds.”

Raynard Trucking Estevan, SK 421-2467

Congratulations on all your achievements this past season Proud Sponsor of “Kids in Cars”

By Kelly Running Riley Raynard, 17, of Lampman has always been drawn to racing. His dad, Devin, was a modified stock car track champion in Estevan in 2009 and 2011, while his mother, Wendy, drove in the hobby stock division for years. Growing up around engines roaring and the racing atmosphere, Riley quickly developed a passion for fast cars. “I knew from day one that I was going to race,” Riley explained. The car is in fact an extension of himself when he gets into the driver’s seat. Although Riley uses a wheelchair for mobility when not in the car, he lets nothing hold him back. Riley has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which causes muscle weakness in the legs and pelvis of males and will eventually spread to other areas of the body. “I have a little bit better brakes than everyone [and a sprint car pedal],” Riley said. “I still have some muscle left in my feet so I can still use that. Sometimes I’ll be putting my hand on my leg to help push the gas down.” According to Riley the thrill of

being in the car makes his ability to race easier. “Adrenaline really kicks in and you don’t even really notice anything,” he stated. “You just want to get going and sometimes it’s a little bit of a challenge, my legs will get a little tired, but I’ll use my hand on my leg. The adrenaline rush is so much that you don’t notice anything, like you don’t notice if you’re uncomfortable.” Riley first began racing three years ago and has come quite a long ways in this time. “We got to practice a little bit before I got onto a track to race against people at Big Eagle’s near Manor,” explained Riley. “That first year I probably got lapped a couple times in the first races and then I eventually started to not get lapped, then I started getting some top ten finishes.” The learning curve of the first year racing continued with Riley into his second year where top 10 finishes were the usual, but the elusive first place finish was still taunting him. It was this desire to keep going and the fact that an accident at

the end of the second year would push him to work even harder behind the wheel that would take him to his first feature win this year. “Last year I wrecked by old car, completely wrote it off, so I had to get a new car. That’s just racing I guess,” Riley laughed. The accident on the track occurred when someone in an outside lane spun out around a corner and as Riley took the inside lane was unable to escape the head on collision. “I just wanted to get back this year after wrecking my car last year, I just wanted to get back at it and prove myself right this year.” This determination transferred and his skills behind the wheel had improved over the last two years. “You kind of get better at picking spots to go, where to pass people, sometimes there’s only one line on the track and you have to try and move around to get around all the people,” explained the young driver. “This year with our new car we got it running good. First we had a fifth finish and the next race I won it! That was my first win ever. I just couldn’t believe it. I’ve been wanting to win a race my whole life and it finally happened. It was just awesome, there’s a big adrenaline rush and there’s no other feeling like it.” This feeling is something that Riley has felt more than once. The first win at the Estevan track came in July and it was followed approximately a month later with a second feature win on the track. Riley’s winning season continued having recently won the hobby stock division at the Eagle Showdown on Big Eagle’s track and prior to competing there had won a main event in Minot. “We’ve raced in Estevan maybe nine or 10 nights, that’s part of the normal season, then there are things like a race in Minot, Motor Madness, and it was a two-day deal run on points,” Riley stated. “I won that, I got first the first night then got second the second night, and I had started in 18th so it was a really good win.” Riley says he wouldn’t be able to do any of this, however, without his family and friends. His friends push him on the track, while also talking racing outside of the circuit. Devin offers his knowledge as a driver to Riley and is an asset in the pits. “He mostly does every-

Riley Raynard accepts a trophy from Derrick Big Eagle after having won the hobby stock division at the Eagle Showdown on Big Eagle’s track thing, but I watch and make sure I know how to do it for the next time,” Riley said. “I’m still learning all of that stuff, how the car runs and how to keep it running.” Riley and his father are then joined by Diezel (Riley’s

brother), Rylan (a cousin), and Donny (his grandfather), as well as a few of his dad’s friends. The support from everyone has been phenomenal for the talented young driver. “I’ve got a big family so I have a lot of fans,” he said. “I’ve

also got sponsors from Estevan, Lampman, Manor, Arcola, and area who have been a lot of help.” Looking towards the future Riley has set goals which will continue pushing him to be even better.

“Future plans,” Riley stopped to think for a moment before replying, “I want to win a track championship. I’d like to win a few more races and then move up to the higher classes, so into street stocks and then maybe to modifieds.”

described by his mother Myra as having “No fear. Landon goes hard and doesn't back down.” The Runge's team name pays tribute to their father, Daryle Runge, whose initials D.R. inspired the “Doc” and the “junior” signifies the family's second generation of drivers. Runge largely credits his family for his racing career and says, “Everyone's pretty involved when it comes to supporting me and my brother.” Runge's parents Daryle and Myra own High Energy Performance in Estevan, an automotive and performance parts supplier. His father Daryle is a former racer and has built cars for many drivers in the area, including Landon's older brother, Leevi, 16, who also races. “We're behind them all the way,” says Myra. “We love it.” The Runges attend every one of their son's races, says Landon. “They take our cars, because they have to be hauled in a (covered) trailer. They haven't missed a race yet.” Landon maintains his orange, Edmonton Oiler-themed Chevy Enforcer #25L, with the help of his dad. “I learn a lot from my dad. He and my mom are always there for us. They drive us to races and are always there for me and my brother.” Part of that parental support is making sure Landon and Leevi are properly

outfitted. “We wear helmets and fireproof clothing, racing boots and racing gloves for their grip and because they're fireproof,” he says. “We wear a Hans (head and neck support device), that is a kind of neck brace.” “Im starting to learn more everyday,” he says. “I drove my brother's last year out at Big Eagle's track. I was pretty fun and I was excited to start racing this year.” Landon says he is not nervous, even when he is competing against his brother. “It's pretty good. I'm not really nervous when I race, but I'm pretty tired at the end, probably because I'm full of adrenaline. I don't really think about who I'm racing against. I just try and do the best I can.” Pre-race preparation involves “Just checking the tire pressure and stuff like that,” says Landon. “In the winter, I don't do anything special, except skidooing.” In his first year of racing, Landon has already raced at three area race tracks. “Estevan is bigger than most, Minot has a lot of different people racing and Big Eagle's in Manor is where I really started and where we end the season and practice most of the time.” “I really like racing and I have a few friends that want to get into it now. I'm really glad that my mom and dad are behind us all the way.”

Since winning the Rookie of the Year title at age 14, Runge has garnered an impressive number of wins in his stock car racing career. Runge, who rebuilt his car “from scratch” with his father, Daryle Runge, says that he would love to make racing his career. “I’d love to make it a career. I want to make it to the Super Nationals in Boone, Iowa in 2015 By Lynne Bell Since winning the Rookie of the Year title at the age of 14, Lampman's Leevi Runge, 16, has racked up an impressive number of wins in his hobby stock racing career. As one half of Doc Jr. Racing, Leevi and his younger brother, Landon, come from a racing family. Leevi credits his father Daryle Runge, a former racer with his interest in the sport. “I grew up seeing him race,” says Leevi. “My dad is great with mechanics and he also gives advice about racing.” “Me and my dad rebuilt my car from scratch. It's a Trackside Enforcer and my number is 25L. It's black and green; those were my dad's colours when he raced. I started racing when I was 14 and he and my mom have always been encouraging.” “My dad is great with mechanics and he also gives racing advice. My dad is at every race. My mom is at every race. We have two covered trailers that we use to take our cars to the track. They always make sure that me and my brother get to our races.” “We're behind them all the way and we love it,” says Myra Runge of her sons' careers. “Leevi is more laidback when he's racing, but he's won Rookie of the Year at

downtown Carly

Estevan Motor Speedway and this year, he was runner-up there.” Recently, at Manor's Eagle Showdown in September, Leevi says:“I got second in my first heat, first in my second heat and second in my feature.That track is probably my favourite. At Big Eagle's they run a good show. They're a good group of guys.” “Estevan Motor Speedway is the biggest, and in Minot (at Nodak Speedway), there are tighter corners and longer straightaway corners. I like the wider corners.” “We do some things and it's important to get the right set-up for the right track. But I love racing and I'll do it any time I can. Two years ago, we raced in Estevan when there was snow on the track.” Leevi says that winter time is “Working season, working on cars. It depends, but we try and get a lot of stuff done before it snows. My dad has built seven cars, so I learn a lot from him. He built my car and he built the engine in my brother Landon's car.” “But the thing I love most is racing and I'd love to make it a career. I want to make it to the Super Nationals in Boone, Iowa in 2015.”

Congratulations to all drivers on a great season! See you next year!

At the age of 14, Manor’s Jett Big Eagle is already a veteran on the local racing scene. “This is my first year of competitive racing, but I’ve been in a modified [feature racer] since I was 11,” he says. Big Eagle has already competed in both Canada and the U.S., and says, “No matter where you race, you have to keep your head in one place. Racing takes a lot of focus.” By Lynne Bell At the age of 14, Manor's Jett Big Eagle is already a veteran on the local racing scene. “The minimum age to race is 14,” he says. “This is my first year competitive racing, but I've been in a modified [feature racer] since I was 11, but I wasn't competing then. I've had a fair share of experience on the track in our backyard, so I'm lucky to get a bit of an edge on the competition, I guess.” Although the grade 10 student is fortunate to have such enviable access to a track and training, he takes nothing for granted, even though he won the Rookie of the Year title in his class at Estevan Motor Speedway. “I have so many people to thank,” he says. I can't thank Joey Galloway enough. He came out here from Ontario when he was 21 and he's 26 now. He's been with us all the way. I'd also like to thank my sponsors: JJ Trucking, Equal Transport, Pure Chem, Josh Brown and Moose Mountain Mud. Without them, I couldn't do this.” “I drive an IMCA (International Motor Contest Association) modified car, #99. It's not really a car. It's the front clip of an old Nova or Chevelle. You build your vehicle. It's black, white, and red. My dad chose the colours. He likes the eagle feathers, because he's part Native.” Although the Big Eagle family are racing pioneers and mentors in the area and host the annual Eagle Showdown competition every year, much of their racing involves travel. Big Eagle has raced in both Canada and the U.S. “This year, I won rookie of the year in Estevan and I've raced in Williston, Minot and Mandan, North Dakota and in Lynden, South Dakota.”

“We went to Boone, Iowa to the Super Nationals. That's a tough competition and it's really hard to make the show. The IMCA is the biggest deal.” “When we go to race, my mom has her vehicle. For big runs, it can be a 24hour drive. We take a race hauler, which is a semi and three cars total-my car, my brother's car, and a spare car.” “My mom and dad (Shelley and Derrick Big Eagle) are at every race. And I can't thank Joey Galloway and Curtis Galusha enough. Joey hasn't missed a race and Curtis is back in Ontario now, but he helped me a lot, too. He was the pit guy and he did bolt checks and so much more. I learned a lot from him.” My brother (Masen Big Eagle) did the USMTS tour. That stands for 'United States Modified touring Series' and it goes for eight or nine months,” He says. “That's one I want to do. It's through the States. Where you compete, it all depends what series you're in. In Canada, there aren't as many tracks.” When asked about racing rivalry with his brother, Big Eagle says, “We're definitely competitive. But we'd never hold it against each other. It's a friendly competition with each other. When we race against each other, we're just another racer on the track.” The next big race for the Big Eagle brothers is the Duel in the Desert for IMCA Modifieds Nov. 12-15 in Las Vegas. “But no matter where you race, you have to keep your head in one place, ”says Jett. “Racing takes a lot of focus, and I do not blink. I'm just thinking ahead to what I have to do next. I'd say I was an aggressive, strategic racer. I won't run anyone for no reason.” “When I was younger, I always wanted to go fast. That hasn't changed. I really enjoy it. It's something that I love to do. It's something I will always do.”

Masen Big Eagle, 17, of Manor hasn’t yet graduated from high school, but he has already reached some of the top tiers of his racing career, including winning four races at the Supernationals in Boone, Iowa. “But racing isn’t as easy as it might look,” he says. “The biggest things it’s taught me are a really good work ethic and how to react in high-pressure situations.” By Lynne Bell Manor's Masen Big Eagle, 17, hasn't yet graduated from high school, but he has already reached some of the top tiers of his racing career, after only four years of driving an IMCA (International Motor Contest Association) modified vehicle competitively. The grade 12 student has just completed his fourth year of racing #00, and this season, with the black and white vehicle, Big Eagle has won three feature races, placed second nine times, and won four races at the Supernationals in Boone, Iowa, among others. “Boone is huge,” he says. “There are about 400 modifieds that go and it's tough, but it's great.” Big Eagle raced in the Race of Champions in Boone, which features champions from IMCA tracks throughout the US and, in this case, Canada. Big Eagle represented Estevan Motor Speedway (an IMCA-affiliated track) and lost the championship race in Boone by a car length. The young racer also spent a semester in the States competing in the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS). “It's 90 races in eight months. We went to every state, I think, except Hawaii and Alaska. I goes from February to September, so I took a semester off and did some online courses. Anyone over 14 can do it.” “We went everywhere, Florida, New Mexico, Kansas... Me, Joey Galloway and Curtis Galusha went. Joey and Curtis were always there to help me out. I've learned a lot from them, and I can't say enough about them. Joey also manages JJ Trucking and he still helps us out.” “On a typical day down south, we'd finish a race at 11 p.m., drive 'til 4 a.m., sleep until 8 or 10 a.m. Then we'd work on cars, do maintenance and race again

at five.” “On a week off, we'd work on our cars. We were based in Humboldt, Kansas, so we had a shop there to use.” “In November, me and my brother, Jett will be going to the Duel in the Desert in Las Vegas. It's a race for modifieds that goes from Nov. 12-15, and my parents will be there.” Big Eagle says, “None of this would be possible without the sponsors and all of the people who have helped me. I couldn't do this without the sponsors-JJ Trucking in Arcola, Jason Waugh with Pure Chem, Equal Transport, and Moose Mountain Mud, G-Style Transport out of Williston, North Dakota, and on the sponsor side, my dad [Derrick Big Eagle] with Eagle Motor Sports.” “I started racing when I was 11, because I saw my dad race. When you're 14, you're legally sanctioned to drive. We have a good track at home and we're lucky, I know.” “But racing isn't as easy as it might look,” he adds. “The biggest things it's taught me are a really good work ethic and how to react in high-pressure situations. It's great when you're in the shop all week and you win good. When you're in the shop all week and you break down; it's not good.” “In a race you're in the moment, but you're planning 50 feet ahead to get the guy in front of you. In the car, for 30 laps, I don't blink. You just don't blink and your eyes are burning.” “You can't be scared. You've got to go faster-right to the limit, to the verge of spinning out. But at the same time, you know that a lot of the race is won in the shop, where you're working all the time.” “What I like is the adrenaline, being six inches away at 80 miles per hour. When I was little, I was just fast on anything. I'd like to have my kids race and teach them what I know.”

Kids in Cars: Kruz Wilson

Photo by Kelly Running

Manor’s Kruz Wilson, 15, says what he loves most about racing is “The speed. I like the speed and there’s a lot of nice people involved. Hopefully, I’d like to get into a bigger class, more speed.” By Kelly Running At the age of 12, Kruz Wilson, got his first taste of racing and has ever since been passionate about the sport. “It started off with Dad [Mike],” explained Kruz. “He started in ’09. When I was 12 it was the first time I drove at Big Eagle’s and you’ve got to be 14 to race, so I had to wait until last year to start.” “We went and watched a lot of racing in Estevan there and we really liked it. Dad said he thought he would buy a car, so he bought one and liked it. I wanted a car and then Jen wanted a car.” From Manor, Kruz, now 15, is learning and growing as a driver. Mike has been a source of knowledge, and Kruz is also helping his younger sister get into racing through giving her pointers he has picked up the last couple of years. “It’s really a family thing,” Kruz stated, saying his mother, Alana, is also very supportive. The first time Kruz got in a car was

at the Big Eagle track under supervision. He was out with Jett Big Eagle and the memory of this practice race would stick with Kruz: “First time I drove a car, I actually won. I was racing against Jett Big Eagle there, he spun out, and I beat him.” Kruz was hooked after this opportunity and decided he wanted to continue bettering himself on the racetrack. It was the speed though, which really interested him. “The speed,” Kruz replied to what he liked best about racing. “I like the speed and there’s a lot of nice people involved.” This is Kruz’s second year racing and he has been working his way into top 10 finishes and has finished first in a few heats, though is still looking for that feature race first place finish. “This is my second year and it’s been good,” Kruz stated. Laughing he added, “It’s good, it’s a bunch of young people showing everyone how to drive.”

Kruz went on to explain that Riley Raynard is one of these younger guys who is showing others how it’s done. “He’s fast,” Kruz said of Raynard. “When he first started, people were like, he’s going to race? And now he’s one of the best drivers out of Estevan.” It’s these friendships, and the speed, which keeps Kruz coming back for more as the adrenaline pumps, engines roar, and he takes charge of his car on the track. More serious and focused now, Kruz laughed at his first heat race win in Estevan. “In IMCA [International Motor Contest Association] when I won my first heat race, I was just going nuts!” Kruz exclaimed. “I was singing and all of a sudden it was just one lap left and I was just going, ‘Come on! Just one lap! Come on! Let’s do this!’ Then when I passed the checkered flag, I was just going nuts.” The excitement of reaching a new

goal was immense and although Kruz says he doesn’t sing anymore, it was something he did in the car a lot. “Not much anymore,” he smiled. “I used to when I first started, but now I just try to focus.” Focusing has stepped up Kruz’s efforts and with his love of high speeds is hoping to move on to street stocks and eventually wants to compete in late modifieds. “Hopefully get into a bigger class, more speed,” Kruz said. “Street stocks, they’ve got the same motors as the modifieds but a different body. I’d like to get up to a late model, but that’s the future. They run something like 900 horse power or something like that.” The immediate future will be next year’s hobby stock competition where Kruz is determined to be able to keep up with Raynard. “Hopefully I’ll get a feature win next year or more so I can stay up with Riley Raynard, he’s fast.”

Kids in Cars: Jennifer Wilson

Photo by Kelly Running

Jennifer Wilson of Manor says of her upcoming racing career: “I just got into it. I started racing at Big Eagle’s. I’ve gone out once, but my parents say if I keep driving like that, I’ll be out on the racetrack soon.” Wilson’s first competition is in May, 2015.

By Kelly Running The world of racing isn’t always open to female drivers, but the interest always develops especially when ones family are racing fans. Though not commonplace, women do take to the tracks as their passion for driving evolves. Jennifer Wilson, in grade nine, from Manor is gearing up for her first year of racing beginning in May of 2015. Nervous and excited, she will take to the track next year for her first competition races, though she has been out at Big Eagle’s this year to see how she would enjoy it. The verdict from that first time around the dirt track at Big Eagle’s, she absolutely loves it. “I just got into it, I just started driving at Big Eagle’s,” Jennifer explained. “I’ve gone out once, but my parents say if I keep driving like that I’ll be out on the racetrack soon.” Support in her ventures comes from, Mike (her father), Alana (her mother), and Kruz (her brother). “I got the car from my dad, he had two cars,” Jennifer explained. “One he bought that he wanted to try out, but he went back to his car that had been customized for him.” Though this may have been how the nudge into driving occurred, Jennifer had long been a fan of Nascar and enjoyed attending the racing events her father was driving in. Watching as her brother got behind the wheel, she became determined this was something she too could do. The first time Jennifer was given the opportunity to get into the car and take it around the Big Eagle track she was thrilled, anxious, and focused on steering. She was attentive to the track and despite being worried about losing control or going off the track. As Jennifer became more comfortable, her speed picked up. “I was in my dad’s car because my car was leaking, the carburetor was leaking. I was the only one out on the track which was pretty cool,” Jennifer remembered of her first time driving. “First time going out on the track, I just worried about going off the track,” Jennifer smiled. “I was all by myself. I was going pretty slow and they told me to

go faster, so I had to go faster.” Hesitating only a moment before deciding to go faster she was happy with the way her first run on the track went and is looking forward to the opportunity to test out the track against competitors. This will include getting on the Big Eagle track with Mike and Kruz to see what it’s like racing at top speeds, while watching and waiting to see how she will react to having more cars on the track. This is a large part about racing, the ability to see the track, see the route through other cars, and avoiding collisions if someone spins out, putting the driver on high alert for the duration of the competition. In addition to learning about how to race Jennifer has also been helping with what she can in the family pit stop. Although Mike and Kruz handle most of the work, Jennifer is learning the ropes as well. Her favourite parts of racing include the fact that she is able to doing something her brother can and will be pushing herself in the races next year to continue better herself with the goal of possibly beating Kruz in the future. Additionally Jennifer says the fans are great to be around. “There’s a lot of fans that cheer for the different people racing and there are some that cheer for our family particularly which is cool,” said Jennifer. “It’s cool to have someone cheering for you that is not a school event, it’s not just people your age, it’s all ages cheering.” Although Jen is learning the ropes in the pits and how cars work, she is excited to be entering hobby stock next year, which will potentially be beginning for her in May. One of the fun parts of her car currently is the colour. Her car is pink and green, which developed through her appreciation of Nascar. “Our family is kind of a racing family, we watch a lot of Nascar, and my favourite Nascar driver is a girl and her name is Danica Patrick. That’s where I got my number and colour from. She used to be pink and now she’s green, so I got pink and green. My number is 10JW, hers is 10.”

By Lynne Bell Forget’s Heather Peat Hamm is an ecologist and an artist and says her debut book ‘Blue Grama’ is”my vision of the prairie.” Published by Regina’s Wild Sage Press, it will be officially launched in the city on Nov. 2, Peat Hamm’s book “is divided equally between illustrations and a collection of poetry, some prose, and five songs. It’s not private, but it’s personal,” she says. “The prairie for me is personal and [the book] is focused on the people and stories that I know. It’s my vision of the prairie.” “Blue grama is a species of grass,” says Peat Hamm of the book’s title. “It’s a warm-season species that does really well further south. There, it’s a big, robust plant. Here, it sort of runs into limitations in our landscape and it’s a smaller thing, sort of eking out an existence on our landscape.” In ‘Blue Grama’, Peat Hamm writes of this particular species of grass, “I like the way it manages to sneak into the landscape where other, better-suited species could take over, but the little grass holds on.” Peat Hamm created all of the book’s illustrations, including the cover, which depicts blue grama. “I’m a plant ecologist and prairie species are one of my specialties,” she says. “I used ink and ink wash for the illustrations.” “I’ve been writing for a long time, so it just became a case of collecting prairie pieces for my work. In addition to the poetry and the one piece of prose, there are five songs in the book,” says Peat Hamm. “The drawings took a couple of months to complete for publication and pulling together the entire book took about eight months.” “In my work as a consultant [plant ecologist], I’ve worked a lot of different native grasslands, including Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Association (PFRA) pastures,” she says. “Things I see every day during field season are things that maybe others don’t get a chance to see and I wanted to share some of those things through

the illustrations to remind people how important the rural way of life and the native prairie landscape is.” “I grew up north of Kindersley and my last stop before coming to live here in Forget was Vancouver Island,” says Peat Hamm. “I did a lot of forestry work on the coast and being here, I’ve expanded into working with the plants. It’s a different palette here when we look at a landscape. We have a lot of blue and brown here on the prairies. We have green, too. But it’s like what [American writer] Wallace Stegner wrote when he said that people from eastern zones had brown and a thousand greens. Here on the prairies, we have green and a thousand browns.” Heather Peat Hamm will be “reading, talking, singing, and signing” Blue Grama ($18) at The Happy Nun, Forget, Nov. 6 at 7:30 p.m., at Michael’s Coffee Shop & Bakery in Carlyle Nov. 20 at 6:30 p.m., and at the Stoughton Library on Nov. 21.

pathy would miraculously continue. Even as I wrote the preceding sentence I was reminded of a quote I recently read, “If you want a miracle you have to begin with an impossible situation.” It seems we’ve met that condition, but what’s next? Where do we go from here? My personal conviction is that I need to pray for every MP of every political persuasion as they deal with the stress of last week’s events. Everyone has the right to their own convictions but our differences should never exclude our elected officials from our prayers during this time of grief, anger and pain. It is, in fact, a Biblical imperative

and it’s something I can do. “I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.” (1 Timothy 2: 1-2) Equally important are the people around us who are in need of the ministry of compassion and support. Their pain may not be public and might never attract the attention of the media but they long for people who genuinely care. “Bear one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2) In praying and loving, God blesses.

The Neepawa Team was 2nd in the northern division and the Generals were 1st in the southern. The 1st place team in the north was Swan River and they won over the 2nd place team from the south, Parkwest. The final will be on November 1st with Neepawa playing Swan River. The Generals had a

Big brother Hunter, several aunts and uncles and both sets of grandparents were in attendance. What a special day in a young person’s life!!! The Wawota United Church is also involved in a pilot project for our Mission and Service. For three Sundays we are using specially prepared services, liturgy and videos connected to our service in Canada and around the world. Although we read minute for mission every Sunday this pilot project is to encourage more people to become involved in this outreach program.

Pause for Reflection

The Associated Gospel Church held a Hymning, led by Dale Thiessen and Rhonda, with Lester and Sharon Thiessen singing duets. Pastor Hans Elgbyy, assisted by Bob Thiessen and Jesse Mattila, led a worship service later in the week. Charlotte and Janet also led a sing-along. Gloria Oliver and the Crafts people have produced door and window Halloween decorations.

Gloria and Ron have also called Bingo Nights. Lois Humenuik, June Thompson and Elma Friessen have taken advantage of the fine weather to retrieve the Christmas decorations which they stored at June’s farm, and decorate the courtyard. We rejoice with our farmers that the last bales and crops are neatly gathered in.

What is new under the sun and Ecclesiastes revisited “There is nothing new under the sun” the author of Ecclesiastes said. Generations come and go, streams run to the sea, the wind blows where it will, and all is vanity. “A man eats and drinks and finds happiness in his work; this is a gift from God” (Ecclesiastes 3:13). This so aptly describes where many are today in their spirituality. They are too busy living and being content with their work to even feel true gratitude to the giver of all gifts. They are not seen in church Sunday or any other morning. Not one day goes by where we could breath, live or move without God’s mercy and grace. Do we sing our praise and gratitude? Goods, wealth and contentment are God’s gift to keep our hearts occupied (Eccl. 5:19). If we are given enough wealth and substance there is nothing left to desire. Man toils to eat, yet his belly is never filled (6:7). Qoheleth, the author of Ecclesiastes talks of pursuing pleasure – pleasing the eye and heart, amassing property and wealth; yet all is empty. It is chasing

the wind or vanity. Being human is unfulfilling and emptiness. Knowledge, wealth, love, life itself are illusory, a meaningless succession of events. Death befalls all – the wise and the foolish, the rich and the poor, the man and the beast. Qoheleth forces us to consider the human enigma, the need for a new revelation. Though scholars tell us there may have been as many as eight authors of Ecclesiastes, there seems to be a unity of purpose leading the reader to a conclusion. We are invited to life: “Sow, don’t just stare at the clouds. / In the morning sow your seed” (9:6). “Go eat your bread with joy and drink your wine with a glad heart…what you do God has approved beforehand… Spend your life with the woman you love, through the fleeting days of the life God has given you under the sun” (9:7). The paradoxes in PART TWO Chapter 7 invite us to the need for a new revelation: Better mourning than fasting… Better sadness than laughter… Better a wise man’s repri-

RELIGION

What do we do now? By Linda Wegner Now for the understatement of the week: Phew, it’s been a harrowing one. Harrowing is just one way to describe the sudden and violent deaths of two Canadian soldiers. Other words could include, but not be limited to, horrific, shocking and appalling. Oh yes, and stunning in the most negative of connotations because somehow I never thought it would happen here. Politics is notoriously dirty business whether it be in a federal, municipal or an organizational setting. My desire is that Parliament’s brief atmosphere of conciliation and em-

mand than a fool’s laughter… Better the end of a matter than the beginning… Better patience than pride… In the epilogue Qoheleth gives us concluding advice: fear God and keep his commandments, since this is the whole duty of man. For God will call all his hidden deeds, good or bad, to judgment. Though we are invited to enjoy life’s pleasures while we are young, the time will come when “the grasshopper drags itself along and desire fails…the mourners will go about the streets; before the silver cord is snapped, and the golden bowl is broken… and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the breath returns to God” (12:5-7). What was lacking in Qoheleth’s vision has been given to us. Our spirituality includes the incarnation and Christ’s Resurrection. We can end our poem with: When the silver cord is snapped And the golden bowl is broken I know my Redeemer lives.

General Employment

Donelda “Donnie” Melenchuk 1924 - 2014 Donelda "Donnie" was born in Antler, Saskatchewan on November 30th, 1924, the second daughter of Arthur and Margaret Merrill. Bill and Donnie married on August 17th, 1946. Together Bill and Donnie celebrated 65 years of marriage and raised two sons, Bob and Allen, in Mary¿eld. She taught at Prairie Bell School and during this time met and married William (Bill) and they moved to Mary¿eld. Donnie was active in

curling, participating in many bonspiels in the surrounding communities. She was involved in the curling executive. Whenever asked she was a willing baker for the many functions and organizations in Mary¿eld. She was a hostess in her home and enjoyed cooking and baking for family and friends. Donnie also enjoyed gardening and caring for her many Àowers each summer. She had a particular talent for ¿nding 4-leaf clovers and managed to spot them in a grass when others failed to spot the elusive prize. Donnie also found great pleasure in working on crossword puzzles and knitting for her family. She also loved to watch the hummingbirds that gathered by her front window. Coffee parties with her block partners was a cherished activity. She also thoroughly enjoyed her Roughrider and Blue Jay games on television. Donnie was predeceased by her husband and love of her life Bill on December of 2011; her parents Arthur

and Margaret; her sister Mary Joan and brother in law Everett. She will be missed and lovingly remembered by her sons Bob (Judi) of Medicine Hat and Allen (Mary Anne) of Emerald Park; and ¿ve grandchildren: Paul (Courtney), Robert (Janelle), Melissa, Krista (Trevor) Baragar, Kim (Mike) Gibney; eight great grandchildren: Jonah Melenchuk, Bergen Melenchuk, Nolan, Emre, Madilyn & Francis Baragar, Sam & So¿a Gibney. A graveside funeral service was held at Mary¿eld Cemetery on Saturday, October 25th, 2014 at 2:00 P.M. with Roy Bortolotto, of¿ciating. If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made to St. Andrew’s United Church or to Sunrise Villa, Mary¿eld, in memory of Donnie. Arrangements are in care of G.R.

her 90th birthday on Oct. 25. Happy birthday Boodie may you have many more to come. Attending the Haunted House at Heward, SK on Saturday evening on Oct. 25 were Shelly Cowan, Sheri Patton, Diane Potapinski, Trisha Schulhauser, Stacey Beriault, Tammy Potapinski and Becky Hanna. They reported that it was a super great event. Oct. 26 was the Alida 16th annual Fun Fair and Haunted House. This year the event was set up and held at the Hall (due to the rink being flooded this summer). There was a nice crowd in attendance and the children seemed to enjoy the games at the Fun Fair, as well as the face painting and tattoos. Some even enjoyed participating in

the scavenger hunt which also earned them a prize. There were 75 brave spectators who took the challenge and toured through the paths of the haunted house. Screams, screeches and laughter could be heard throughout the hall as they made their way through the maze of pathways on the stage. There were many young people as well as a few adults who came dressed up in their Halloween costumes which really added to the fun of the day. Also at the Fun Fair the winners of the “Choose a Prize Table” were as follows – Alivia Schulhauser, Persephone Wilson, Debbie Fraser, Shanna Carriere, Holly Anthony, Lacie Nilsen and Lynette Peet. Sara McClung was the winner of the Candy Guess and I’m sure she’ll enjoy the caramel squares.

Kenosee Lake News

The Thanksgiving weekend is also a popular time to take a short autumn vacation,” was written in the opening information on the internet. Where? What and How? Sunday, October 12, our Thanksgiving Sunday, there was a race going on in Las Vegas similar to a “Motor Speedway” but it was actually called, “Red Bull Air Race.” One of our own Canadians, Pilot Blayne Seidel, flew with friends and another pilot in the company plane from Carlyle to Vegas, USA. It WAS a race but it was up in the air with airplanes. Pleasing to our Canadian onlookers at the air race the winning racer was Canadian Pilot, Pete McLeod of Red Lake, Ontario in a field of 12 air racers!The next “Aviation Nascar Racing,” as Seidel explained, “will be the 26th of October in Spielberg, Austria.” That will be the second last race for this year in Aviation Nascar Racing. It is similar to Las Vegas Motor Speedway but probably thrice the excitement for a ‘short autumn vacation’ in a plane being all about planes and racing! A friend in Estevan reported they have stock car racing on a track south east of Estevan and drag racing at the Estevan Airport BUT some of us have not heard of planes involved in air racing in Canada. Enlightenment could happen anytime! Kenosee Lake Golf Course with 18 holes had an interesting evening in the aptly named restaurant Club 19 with our Michelle Amy, Forget, organizing the music (a great combination!) with two of her famous instructors from the Mother Theresa Center Camp in August. Camp instructors Gordon Stobbe of Nova Scotia and JJ Guy, another Canadian, played instruments while Michelle accompanied most songs on keyboard. It was Thursday, October 23 and a dandy crowd attended – perhaps some for the meal, some for the music. Those on the hill graciously ran for the meal takers and the guests enjoyed the musicality and the food set before them! The daughter of Ben and Cheryl Dubois, Emily Dubois, played a happy tune or two with the other musicians. A very great evening for all. On Oct. 24, Michelle Amy with her musical members made up a dance band at the Carlyle Memorial Hall including JJ Guy and Gordon Stobbe helping teach different dances in a Family Dance evening. It was very memorable! It was Saturday evening on the prairies in the Moose Mountain Provincial Park. Wow! What a glorious evening! Live in the Kenosee Park Hall there was Open Mic by the Lion’s Club. No blow by blow description but a few highlights. Instructions for the entertainers were three songs; two songs; then apparently more later. There were Halloween decorations around the hall and musical instruments were seductively slung around the stage. It was OPEN MIC NIGHT with Master of Ceremonies Ben Dubois.A trio hit the stage from Ken and Heather Hamm of “Village Music,” Forget, Saskatchewan, to Tom Richards of Langbank. One line in one song was about, “... conjur(ing) summer.” There was the use of a “claw hammer banjo.”Two dads played instruments with daughters: Rob Scheirer and Samantha; Ben Dubois and Emily.Rob and Samantha played, “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” then one she wrote, “You’ll Find Comfort in the Silence.” Then Ben and daughter Emily Dubois played songs, one being a musical jig, “...in the Key of F,” said Emily!Next was Miles Smelling, Weyburn with some mighty good words in song, “Don’t Forget That Love’s the Thing... Don’t let the sun catch you crying!”Then Shirley and Jim Galloway took the stage with tunes of jazz, “Aint Misbehaving” and “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore!” were two that were caught! There was a break after which more musicality carried on including other performers Cheryl Dubois, Jason Shire, Amanda Maloney, Carson Brady,and Chris Bryne. Some words heard before I left were “Go have some fun and greet all along the way!” Sounded like a great ending but it wasn’t over! Before the evening was over several fans sent videos of the continuing evening to Facebook for everyone to enjoy! Leaving early with regrets of missing some musicians I luckily tuned into Facebook. It was there with the latest technology were videos of some of the musicians! Posted on Facebook was a dynamic performance by singer Dianne Margaret Twietmeyer and guitarist Jim Galloway in a video by fans! Other fans sent fiddler Fred Easton’s performances in video onto Facebook! No others were seen by yours truly which may be an error. Correct error by posting YOUR video on Facebook. All on Facebook will see. Four Seasons Needlecraft Wed. Oct. 15 endeavored to get the quilt on frame. It began with the backing. “This quilt is for 2015,” said one of the quilting ladies as everyone tried to get it straight on the frame. The next step was batting. It was spread over the backing and left overnight to get out the wrinkles. Now every Wednesday and more there is a quilting bee at the Four Seasons.*Three friends, Al, Nick, and Saul, were ambling (walking) along. Al noticed a breeze had come up and said, “It’s windy!” Nick looked at him closely and said, “It is NOT Wednesday, it’s Thursday!”Saul said, “ I’M THIRSTY TOO! LET’S GO FOR A DRINK!”Off they ambled to get a drink on a windy Thursday. A friend, Agnes Hewitt gave me the above LOL (Laugh Out Loud) for some humor – to create laughter - one of the best things one can do for a healthy life for you and your friends!

Walkin’ in Home Hardware’s Winter Wonderland By Kelly Running Four years ago Home Hardware moved to their current location; with the added space they decided to host a specialty evening to unveil new seasonal products, while also supporting the Food Bank. The idea came through speaking with other dealers to see how they presented their Christmas products. Upon discussing with these other dealers it was noted how many were also raising money for a cause. Nancy Matthewson,

co-owner of the Carlyle Home Hardware, explained, “It creates excitement about our Christmas stuff coming out and we decided to support the Food Bank because it’s Christmastime; many people are buying gifts and some people are struggling to find food for their families. So, we thought it was a good place for donations to go from the evening.” Always held the first Thursday of November, this year’s Home Hardware Winter Wonderland will be held on Nov. 6 between 7

p.m. and 9 p.m. “A lot of our product we bring in, we save for that night,” Matthewson explained. “There will be deals on only for that night too.” With drinks and appetizers available during this time as well, Matthewson says it is a great evening to enjoy with others while showing their appreciation for their customers. An added bit of fun includes pictures with Santa for adults: “There will be adult Santa pictures for something fun to do. As

In years past one of the fun Christmas decorations unveiled at the Home Hardware Christmas Wonderland included a shivering snowman.

Adults kind of lost the fun in that, so we thought we’d try that this year.” Overall the evening is meant to be a fun night

out with a few snacks and a chance to see what Home Hardware has in store for the Christmas season. “It lets people see what they can buy here, we do some sales because of the deals we have that evening, but for many it lets them see what we

have,” Matthewson explained. “People here like to buy locally, so this lets them see what we have, sometimes you can’t get something in town, but this way they can keep in mind what they can get locally when they’re in the city.”

next court date. Vehicle complaints There were reports of an impaired driver near Kenosee Lake. RCMP were able to locate the suspect vehicle and driver. In the vehicle they found an unsecure rifle which was seized and the individual was charged with unsafe storage of a firearm. While on patrol RCMP noticed a driver displaying signs of impairment. They stopped them and they were subjected to a roadside screening device. Failing this, the driver admitted they had been drinking and was taken to the detachment to provide breath samples. The driver was charged with impaired driving over 0.08 and their licence was suspended. An erratic driver was reported and RCMP were able to locate the vehicle. The driver was asked to use the road side screening device, but refused. This resulted in automatic charges of impaired driving and refusal. Reports of an erratic driver speeding were responded to by RCMP, but patrols were unable to locate the vehicle. Vehicles were reported for driving through barricaded roadways which the R.M. had closed to prevent road deterioration. Members attended, but were unable to locate anyone. The matter is still under investigation. Reports of an erratic driver were made. Members responded, but were unable to locate the vehicle. An impaired driver was reported. RCMP were able to locate the vehicle, but the driver was not found to be intoxicated. The driver was given verbal warning to drive better. A complaint of a suspicious vehicle was reported. RCMP attended but were unable to locate it.

Mischief An intoxicated person was at a house causing a disturbance. RCMP attended, but the subject had left. No charges were sought. Another report of an intoxicated person in someone’s house was re-

ported. The homeowner did not wish to lay charges and the intoxicated individual was taken to another residence. There was a third call regarding an intoxicated person causing a disturbance in a house. This per-

son left the house and was located walking down a road. An argument erupted at a house. RCMP attended and spoke to both parties. One of the parties decided to leave the residence for the night. No charges were laid.
