It was an evening of fun and excitement in Stoughton with the New Hope Horse Club’s annual Rough ‘N Ready Roughstock event. One of the organizers, Dee-Anna Lyke, said the event attracted between 250 and 300 people, which has meant a successful fundraiser for the New Hope Horse Club. The event also attracted nine riders in each of the CCA event. While all other events were full, the Wild Horse Races were the one ex-

ception, however, with only two teams it remained a riveting event to watch. “We only had two in the Wild Horse Races, but that didn’t matter because of how exciting it was,” Lyke explained. “At ﬁrst it looked like the one team was going to win, then the second team looked promising, but in the end the horses won.” Lyke added, “It was a great day and we ﬁnally had really great weather this year.” The family fun included youth focused vendors and activities. “There were lots of kids out and many had a

lot of fun with their events like the mutton busting and we had six teams in the wild pony races,” she explained. “Thank you to all of the volunteers; they all put in a lot of hours to make this happen. And thank you to everyone who came out!” Monty Koopman on Popcorn took ﬁrst place in the Bareback event.

Bringing people together to heal Kelly Running Observer Staff

Lauren Pinacie-Littlechief (left) attended a week-long conference in Ontario hosted by the Canadian Roots Exchange, which focuses on bridging gaps between cultures within Canada – specifically between Indigenous and nonIndigenous. Here Pinacie-Littlechief is with one of her Regina region teammates, Kris.

Lauren Pinacie-Littlechief (18), daughter of Cory Pinacie and Tanya Littlechief, recently returned from Bolton, Ontario, where she took part in a conference organized by the Canadian Roots Exchange. Out of 150 applicants, she was one of 28 accepted to partake. The Canadian Roots Exchange, is a group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth who are focused on bridging the gap between Canada’s diverse peoples. Together they hope to work towards reconciliation, which they feel can be achieved through education and bringing awareness of “the teachings, triumphs, and daily realities of Indigenous communities,” the Canadian Roots Exchange explained on their website: canadianroots.ca. “Through exchanges, workshops, conferences and leadership trainings, we bring together youth in cities, towns, and traditional territories across Canada in an effort to break down stereotypes, open a dialogue, and build honest relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people living on this land.” Pinacie-Littlechief, who went to school at the White Bear Education Complex, and is now going to school at the University of Regina where she has just begun her second year in Justice Studies. The week-long conference, she says, was one which interested her because of the injustices faced by Indigenous peoples, specifically murdered and missing First Nations women in Canada. With school she hopes to pursue becoming a homicide or cold case detective as a way to dedicate her life towards helping people move forward. Therefore the Canadian Roots Exchange fits into

her life plan of helping people heal and move forward. “While in Ontario we focused on different teachings about the diversity of Canada,” PinacieLittlechief said. “We learned a history of the Inuits, the meaning of two-spirit people in indigenous culture, mental health, a history of the Six Nations or Mohawk, and Residential Schools.” Explaining that two-spirited people are our current LGBQT community. “We also discussed intergenerational drama which has come from the residential schools,” Pinacie-Littlechief explained. “This really hit home for me, it was quite the experience learning about the residential schools and the heaviness of it all was a lot.” Despite it being an emotional conference for Pinacie-Littlechief she has become very focused on helping bridge these gaps and help heal those in need. Training was provided during the conference and Pinacie-Littlechief has arrived home as part of the Regina regional group – of four individuals, which will organize and facilitate different events. This will begin with attending the Treaty Four Powwow to speak about Treaties. They also hope to organize different workshops once a month from now until May. While PinacieLittlechief would like to host an event at her alma mater, the White Bear Education Complex. “My main focus is on healing, on helping people heal,” she says. “There’s a brokenness, a gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people that needs to be healed. And Indigenous peoples need healing. For myself attending this conference has helped with my healing process and the trauma I’ve been dealing with. The conference also helped me with my anxiety because I had to speak in front of everyone multiple times..” “For this to go anywhere we need people to be open minded and facilitate working together. We want Indigenous and non-Indigenous to focus on working together. Everyone has to be open minded, but people need to work through this at their own pace.” “The conference was a lot of fun and it was refreshing to be there and amongst other people who have the same mindset as I do when looking at the world. They were all surprised too that I was 18, the youngest there was 17, but the ages ranged up to 28-years-old, which made it really fun.” Pinacie-Littlechief hopes to inspire others to be open minded and work together, moving forward.

Karate Quest: Quinn Brown named to Sintani Wado Kai national team Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

This year, first-degree karate black belt Quinn Brown has competed as a member of Team Saskatchewan on the national stage, and will represent Canada in Osaka, Japan- from Sept. 10-22- as a member of the Sintani Wado Kai Federation National Team. Brown, a third-year Science student at the University of Regina who hails from Arcola, says: “It’s kind of funny, because I always had the idea that someday I’d try out for the team, but I never really jumped on the opportunity before, because I felt like I never really had the time.” “Now I’m in university full-time and working full-time this summer, but I feel like I’ve learned better time management,” he adds. “But the idea to think about tryouts at the provincial or national level was there for a while.” “I belong to a club in Regina, but my home club was and still is the Moose Mountain Wado Kai Karate Club,” says Brown. “Through our club, I met up with a Sensei Heather Fidyk from Alberta, who is now a coach with the national team.” “She encouraged me to try out for the Karate Nationals in January in Richmond, B.C., and the upcoming Sintani Wado Kai competition in Japan. Each competition features a different style of karate,” adds Brown. “At Nationals this past January, we competed under World Karate Association (WKA) rules. It was completely different from what

we were used to doing and we had a pretty short time to prepare ourselves mentally and physically, but we did it.” “There wasn’t a lot of time to even get nervous, but the competition is tough. There’s still that mental shift you have to make. You have to very diligent and completely committed to practicing.” Brown’s practice paid off in Richmond. As a member of Team Saskatchewan-the first team fielded by the province to compete at the event-he made it to the podium, earning a bronze medal. “The official who presented us with our medals at the podium congratulated me and made a nice joke about how this was the first time Saskatchewan sent a team to Nationals and how we were making our presence felt.” “Standing on that podium was an amazing experience,” adds Brown. “Looking into the crowd from that vantage point instead of looking up at the podium was really an unforgettable experience.” “For our entire team-and any team competing at that level- being treated as-and competing as equals is really nice.” “It felt pretty historic to be part of Saskatchewan’s first team to go to Nationals and it was pretty inspiring to see those Olympic rings at the Olympic Oval in Richmond,”says Brown. “The whole experience is pretty hard to sum up in words.” Brown’s invitation to make the leap from provincial team member to Canada’s national team came after a multi-day tryout in Calgary. “In mid-May, the Western try-outs were held

in Calgary. It was really a mix-we worked on a lot of things,” he says. “There was a day of fitness, testing on our basics in karate, and at the end, a minitournament, where you were judged against your competitors and future teammates.” “Between the drills, the competition and everything else, I was pretty sore after it all,” laughs Brown. “When I got the email letting me know I was named to the team, it was only a couple of weeks later- but it felt like forever.” “This summer I’m working full-time and I’m doing a lot of self-training. I started karate a little later, but I knew right away it was the sport for me,” he says. “There’s a real karate family at Moose Mountain Wado Kai. I enjoyed the whole atmosphere there and I’m glad I’m still able to go there when school’s out. I really just want to thank everyone for all the support I’ve been given, the opportunities I’ve been given, and everone who has helped me fundraise.” “I’m really looking forward to competing in Japan. I think it will be really cool and I’m really excited to experience the culture.” When asked about the upcoming 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Brown says: “I definitely think about the Olympics, because karate originated in Japan. (The Olympics) are definitely a tough goal to attain and right now, I’m focused on remaining on the national team and school,” says Brown, who plans on a career in medicine. “To compete for Canada in Japan this September is what I’m focused on right now. It’s exciting and a great honour.”

As one of Canada’s top three competitors, Brown says the prospect of competing in Japan is

Second Chance Thrift Store celebrating one year in Carlyle Kelly Running Observer Staff

Staff photo by Kelly Running

Second Chance Thrift Store is celebrating one year in Carlyle on Friday, Sept. 16, with a storewide half price sale along with cake and coffee.

Celebrating one year in Carlyle is the Second Chance Thrift Store. Nestled between Michael’s Coffee Shop and the RIBC. To mark this occasion they will be hosting a storewide half price sale on Friday, Sept. 16, with cake and coffee throughout the day. “The year was great and we really built momentum,” Shelley Boyes, Director of Choose Life Ministry, said. “We opened in September, so we missed cottage season, but throughout the winter we had a lot of donations and our sales were good, then with cottage season things really picked up. It was really nice.” The funds raised at Second Chance Thrift Store, however, are focused on a larger picture. Boyes started the store, which is an expansion of one in Estevan, as part of the non-profit organization Choose Life Ministry. The ministry was founded on the foundations of love, trust, acceptance, freedom, and excellence. Choose Life was founded in 2012, which is focused on providing women in need with assistance, offering them a second chance at life. For Boyes, she wanted to offer a place to help young women and girls with life controlling issue such as depression, abuse, and abuse of drugs and/or alcohol. The efforts being put forth by the ministry are to renovate a

large stone house that can provide 20 women a safe place to stay and prepare over six months to re-enter the world. “We’re almost finished renovating,” Boyes explained. “We were delayed because of a lack of funds, but we only need about $50,000 to finish the house. Our goal is to open at the end of this year.” Boyes added that the efforts of the ministry are supported by the sales of the Second Chance Thrift Stores in Carlyle and Estevan, while a third one will be added to Weyburn soon as well. “Our main fundraising banquet will be held on Friday, September 23,” Boyes stated. “This year we have entertainment by Rory Allen and tickets can be found at the store in Estevan, inquire in Carlyle at the store, or contact me.” Overall, Boyes is very happy with how things have been going for the Second Chance Thrift Stores and with the Choose Life Ministry’s mission to provide women in need with assistance. Although they are in need of more volunteers to work at the shop in Carlyle, if anyone is interested they can contact Boyes at 306485-7590.

Creative Tables for Cancer to be hosted Oct. 13 Kelly Running Observer Staff

Eight years ago Creative Tables for Cancer organizer, Darlene Olsen, never thought it would become as popular as it is. It all started with an event the Lampman Library hosted and grew into an idea that has gained momentum ever since. “I was a guest speaker at the Lampman Library, they had a luncheon on a Saturday with 10 tables set out with six people at each table, and the tables had their own themes,” Olsen explained. “It’s what those ladies did and how they raised money for the Lampman library, but they don’t hold that fundraiser anymore.” “I had been there a few times and every time I went I said to my friend that we should do something similar in Arcola. Finally, after the third time

of going, I thought ‘We’ve got to do this.’ So, I called up my friend and told her to book Prairie Place.” “That first year we convinced 160 people to come out to do the tables, so we had 16 tables, and in Prairie Place that looks quite small; but, we did a little fashion show and had quite a bit of fun. On their way out after that first year so many were saying they’d like to do a table the next year and I took names down. That second year we had 32 tables, our attendance had doubled, and ever since we’ve had between 40 and 42 tables set up in there.” Creative Tables will be hosted on Thursday, Oct. 13, and there are currently four or five more tables available to those interested in decorating one, while there are approximately eight tables available for people simply interested in attending.

Tickets are $40 per person and a table of eight is $320, contact Olsen at 306-455-2554 or 306-5778087. This year Shannon Shakotko of Forget will be speaking, while Olsen says the rest of the entertainment that night is currently a surprise. “I’m excited about it,” Olsen said. “I really enjoy how much the women look forward to the night and their enthusiasm for what they’re going to do for their table as hostesses. I’m always excited for ﬁrst timers coming to walk into Prairie Place and see the tables set up because it looks amazing and they’re not really sure what they’re walking into.” Proceeds from the event will go to the program Look Good, Feel Better and to the Moose Mountain Lodge.

Road Rage in a small town

I have a small rant and I don’t mean to offend anyone, I love living in Carlyle and there’s a ton of great people, but I must say driving up and down Main Street is trying for me at times. I don’t usually get road rage, and you would think it would come in a large city if it did, but that’s not the case… send me out durKelly Running ing the day on Main Street and I Observer Staff become an angry sort . First off the parking the way it is, yes it looks beautiful with the curbs, flowers, and street lights, but it facilitates people darting out to cross the street. Now, the majority of people are good about checking for vehicles, but there are some that I’ve come across that have been lucky I saw them because they just walk across. I’ll admit, because of the way the street is set up I’m not going to park in front of the Co-op and then walk to a corner to cross… but if I’ve parked and then go to cross the street I wait, watching for vehicles, and then hustle across the street for the vehicles that do slow down for me, while giving them a big wave as a thank you. In contrast to this, however, I become extremely annoyed when I am at the pedestrian crossing and have made it part way across the street, but get stuck trying to finish crossing because the vehicles won’t stop for me. Vehicles are supposed to yield to pedestrians if they’re at the crosswalk, but they don’t have to anywhere else on the street. Carlyle is just set up in such a way that crossing from wherever you’ve parked is the norm. So, yes, I get annoyed both when I’m behind the wheel and when I’m walking because it seems like the rules of the road almost go out the window because no one knows how to handle the beautiful, but somewhat backwards setup. I’ve grown up in communities with angled parking, but they park next to the sidewalk in front of the business… that way you’re also not trying to crane your neck in such a way that you can see if anyone’s coming when backing up to your left. I discovered early that it’s definitely helpful to use the reflections in store windows here in Carlyle. But when you park next to the sidewalk, you get the luxury of shoulder checking over your right shoulder and out that large back window, without having to try to turn yourself around to look left or try to shoulder check left with all the blind spots on the vehicle there. Additionally, the rules of the road say that if you’re turning – whether a u-turn or a turning onto a new street – you remain on the right side of the road. This is because you don’t want anything passing between you and where vehicles are coming from, which becomes especially important turning onto Main Street. You can see when you’re pulled up to the street that it’s clear on the left, but as you come out into the intersection you get in line with the parked cars along the middle of the street and can’t see anything to the right. Add to that someone who decides to make a u-turn on your right, you simply can’t see if you can go or not. That person doing a u-turn should come past your vehicle to get into the right lane before turning. Technically there are four lanes at an intersection: one goes north, one heads south, one zips east, and the final one runs west; but somehow between u-turns and people heading straight and people turning from one street to another it’s like there’s six lanes… and nobody seems to be on the same page out there which is simply frustrating.

We need to hit our stride Sitting in a hospital waiting room is an experience uncomfortable for many, but familiar to most. As minutes move in an achingly slow manner, the opportunity to be distracted by something is welcome. It’s then we might notice we’re in a room with couches, TV’s, books and magazines, and often a plaque indicating who furnished the room. Often it is a community Shelley Luedtke service group that has provided those comforts. Those same groups purchase medical equipment, fund sports teams, award scholarships, and provide manpower when an event needs to be run. They donate what is needed and then quickly, and quietly, get back to work to meet another need in the community. But there’s a concern. Some of these groups are seeing declines in membership, some are folding, and some are questioning their ability to continue as the average age of their members increases. The efforts by some may necessarily come to an end, yet the needs themselves will only increase. The question we have to ask is, “Who is going to fill that gap? There are other needs too. Legislative councils, community boards and church committees need people to serve as representatives and fill executive positions. It takes work to keep all our organizations going, but we need those organizations running well because they are pumping the lifeblood into the heart of the community. Think of the music festival award your child won, the specialized hospital bed your grandfather needed, the recreation facilities you use, the uniform your spouse wears, or the chairs you sat on at a friend’s birthday celebration in a community hall. You would be hard pressed to go anywhere without seeing the thumbprint of a community-minded group. I was having a conversation with someone who was tasked with putting forward a slate of nomiKelly Running Editor Reporter/Photographer

nees for an upcoming annual meeting. The task was not easy even though the pool of available people was quite large. The most often repeated reasons to decline: “You should try and get someone younger”; and “I don’t have time. I’m so busy with my kids right now.” “You should try and get someone younger.” Tell that to the Ohio woman who wanted to make a difference in the lives of children so at the age of 73 ran for and now serves on her local school board. Or the 93-year old mayor of Mississauga who served 12 straight terms before stepping down. “I don’t have time. I’m so busy with my kids right now.” Yes, you are. So was the generation before you…and the one before them. Part of raising responsible, accountable and accomplished children is helping shape the community in which they are being raised. Civic obligations are not the responsibility of one age group or another. Work needs to be done, and it will happen most effectively if it is taken on by people of all ages and at different stages of life. We can provide distinct insight and ideas that have been culled from the backgrounds and perspectives we each bring. What a wealth of experience to mine from! No, your child doesn’t take part in sports yet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t provide a tremendous resource to those organizations. Sure, all your children have graduated from high school, but do you think you’re not still a stakeholder in our schools? Think again. The vibrancy of our schools has a direct impact on the health of our culture and community today, and into the future--and you have a stake in that. RM’s, towns, villages, and school boards are looking for nominations for upcoming elections. Community and service groups will be looking for help to get things rolling for another year. Fundraising needs to occur, equipment needs to be purchased and decisions need to made. We can’t let older people step aside--we need them. We can’t let younger people step back--we’re counting on them. We all need to hit our stride because it’s going to take all of us to get it all done. That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

Merging Saskatchewan’s school system

Removing the religion from school: keep students focused on critical thinking

Lynne Bell

Kelly Running

The Saskatchewan government has stated that “transformational change” will be necessary in order to protect public services in the province. So far-in order to balance the budget-there have been cuts to the province’s aboriginal court worker program, environmental assessment program, schools and others-including those that directly affect disabled people and seniors, to name two sectors of society. Few would argue with any government aiming to spend taxpayer dollars responsibly. However, according to University of Regina social work professor Ailsa Watkinson: “There is one very costly and unnecessary duplication of services that it could deal with right away without undermining one of our most cherished public services: that is, the amalgamation of the public, separate and associate schools into one public education system.” Watkinson (writing in the Leader-Post) states that merging the public and separate school systems could free up money for other necessary public services in Saskatchewan, without affecting the number of teachers in the province. By cutting the considerable costs- “in governance and programming”- involved in maintaining two entirely different school systems, Atkinson argues that there would not only be more cash freed up for hands-on instruction in the classroom, but also significantly more cash available to fund other essential services. “The savings they would have if they brought together both schools would be much more and we’d have more money in the bank to provide other public services that are suffering,” she said. The right to create separate schools in Canada was established at the time of Confederation through the British North America Act. And when Saskatchewan became a province in 1905, the constitutional provision allowing for separate religious (in this case, Roman Catholic) schools was already a part of the Saskatchewan Act. Anytime I see the word “constitution,” I assume that something is for all practical purposesunchangeable. That is, it’s either too expensive, too time-consuming, or both. However, Watkinson states that that’s not necessarily the case in this instance. “Some argue the constitutional provision makes it impossible to do away with denomination schools,” she writes. “Not so. The provision has been removed in other provinces and we can do the same. In doing so, we would be catching up with Manitoba, Quebec and Newfoundland & Labrador, which all has removed their previous constitutional right to separate schools.” Governments throughout Canada are currently in a position where they must make tough economic choices that affect all citizens. Their mandate is not only to fund education, but also a myriad of other services -among them: health care, funding to enhance the lives of people with disabilities, public infrastructure, and more. By amalgamating the separate and public school systems into one public system, the money saved might only enhance the sustainability of public education in Saskatchewan, but other government-funded public services as well.

It’s a discussion, which proposes to save millions of dollars, so it must be a good idea? The idea comes from a U of R professor, Ailsa Watkinson, who feels that education should be focused on teaching students critical thinking skills and that religion can be taught at home. So, she proposes the two school systems should be merged. But, historically Canada developed the two school systems as a way to integrate the rights of the Catholic minority in Canada at the time. It was important that their rights, which included educating their children in Catholic schools was protected. So, with the introduction of the British North America Act of 1867, came a clause which guaranteed this protection. The legislation is literally as old as Canada is. Canada was founded on different principals than most. It’s not like the United States where Church and State were to be completely separated and yet it was different from Britain where the Queen is the head of both government and the Anglican Church. Instead Canada decided that churches and the state would be partners. Canada would look to subsidize Jewish schools in Quebec where the majority of the population were Christian. Hutterite schools on the prairie would be subsidized and Amish schools in Ontario would be allowed. Basically if you wanted your child to go to a school based on your beliefs the government had decided to work with you as opposed to against you. It became that all separate schools formed would simply be taxed differently. If a family elected to be part of the Catholic school system then they would have specially directed taxes for those families that chose separate schools over

public schools. Thus Catholic Schools were able to thrive across Canada because a precedent had been set. Today there is a push to eliminate religion from schools. When I was in elementary school we used to say the “Lord’s Prayer” every morning, but it eventually stopped, and we simply had more time for show and tell… the change didn’t actually affect me because I still recited the prayer in church. Besides I was always baffled why we never finished the prayer in school… apparently the United Church version has an extra couple words. But, as with anything, is it time to make a change? There is a precedent set for amalgamating schools and these come from Quebec, Newfoundland, and Manitoba. Which, when you think about it Quebec wanted denominational schools to ensure their Catholic heritage, while Manitoba also had a strong connection to Catholicism in those early years; but both provinces have chosen to amalgamate schools. Apparently all that needs to happen for this change is a simple request from the provincial government to the federal government stating that the provincial government would like to amend the Saskatchewan Act and Ottawa would very likely accept it because of the precedents set out before. Ultimately I think in this day and age we go secular with our education and religion can be taught at home. If for example someone prays at certain times of days as part of their religion, allow it, have a room for them… but that room should be for any religion. So if someone of a different faith wants to pray, they can simply all pray together. I think we have to be understanding of people’s religions to teach tolerance, but when it comes to what’s taught in school, keep it focused on critical thinking.

Cubs ready to end historic drought

By Bruce Penton When baseball’s history is digitally and visually recorded, how will the credit be dispersed to explain Chicago Cubs winning the World Series in 2016? They are going to win the Series, right? The Cubs, infamous for not having won Major League Baseball’s top bauble since 1908, have been by far baseball’s best team in 2016 — the only club with a winning percentage above .600 and, in early September, a 16-game lead in the National League Central Division — and they can’t possibly blow it, can they? So where will the credit go? To team president Theo Epstein, the onetime boy wonder of the Boston Red Sox who took over direction of the Cubs five years ago and molded a championship team out of very promising parts? Or will it go to manager Joe Maddon, who steered the Tampa Bay Rays to an American League East title in 2008 and was manager of the year in the NL last season with the Cubs? Will it go to the Cubs’ vaunted pitching staff, which has three players — Kyle Hendericks, Jon Lester and Jake Arrieta — among the top six in the National League in earned-run average? Or

will the reason for the Cubs success land at the feet of sluggers Kris Bryant, last year’s rookie of the year, and undisputed clubhouse leader Anthony Rizzo, both of whom are among the league leaders in home runs, slugging percentage and OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging)? To be truthful, the credit is spread around fairly evenly. The Cubs are a balanced juggernaut with brilliant decisions being made in the front office, one of the calmest, smartest managers in the dugout and a cast of young talent that has been groomed for — wait for it — a dynasty. Yes, the Cubs, who have gone 108 years without a title, could run off three or four in a row now that everything in the Windy City is properly lined up. Just keep Steve Bartman away from Wrigley Field. Of course, baseball being baseball, the Cubs might just lose in the first round of the playoffs because that’s what the Cubs are known for — being loveable losers. But their losing has to end sometime, doesn’t it? It says here this is the year. • Headline at SportsPickle.com: “Raiders ask their fans to mug people and rob banks to raise $750 million for new stadium.” • Dwight Perry, in advance of the college football opener in the U.S.: “The T-shirt wars are on.

Rider Insider

By Rod Pedersen 1 - Sleeping on it didn’t change a thing. The end of the 2016 Labour Day Classic is still just as sickening Monday morning as it was Sunday night. The Blue Bombers beat the Roughriders 28-25 in a game referee Andre Proulx’s staff awarded to Winnipeg, with the assistance of the CFL’s Command Centre in Toronto. Hey - don’t take my word for it. Roughriders Head Coach & GM Chris Jones said exactly that after the game. “To have it pulled away, that’s tough,” Jones told a packed postgame news conference at Mosaic Stadium. That was as much as he was willing to say publicly. What do you think he was saying privately? I am the voice of the team and this is how the team feels today. No one else is standing up for them right now. 2 - I wasn’t even going to write a column today but when I awoke, my inbox was jammed with people asking where the column was. It would’ve been nice to take a day off. However ‘tis the season, you need to strike when the iron’s hot, and you can’t let your customers down. So here goes... 3 - Roughrider fans are livid their team is being victimized by the CFL. A conspiracy? I floated that notion a month ago and people laughed but now everyone has woken up and smelled the coffee.

“Cheated out of a better finish,” Tweeted Montreal receiver Nik Lewis after Sunday’s game. “Sask vs Peg booth should have stepped in and corrected the call.” Unfortunately one of the many new mechanisms of video review in the CFL doesn’t include fixing officiating errors. That’s ... if they thought the phantom Pass Interference penalty on Rider DB Justin Cox with the game on the line was an error at all. And now players from other teams are stepping in and decrying the current state of the Canadian Football League. I told the powersthat-be my thoughts on the CFL braintrust way back at the start of training camp and now you’re all seeing why. How does this get fixed? That’ll be a discussion for the offseason however with this season now over for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, I suppose we could convene a few meetings now since there’s no playoff planning to do. Perhaps Commissioner Jeffrey Orridge can explain it when he comes to Saskatchewan for Plaza of Honor in two weeks. Honestly I feel sorry for Orridge. A lot of people want his job. That’s got to be an uneasy feeling. 4 - Rioting Rider fans are trying to find all different ways of getting back at the CFL. However boycotting Rider road games is not the

way to go. You’re only punishing yourselves. Watching the Saskatchewan Roughriders play live - no matter their record - is a sacred experience and not one to be missed. Some fans aren’t even able to do it just once in a lifetime. If you have a chance to buy a ticket to watch the Riders, take it. This season is in the toilet but teams have survived situations like this before. 5 - Would Chris Jones have had a challenge left under the old rules - before they were changed two weeks ago - and had the opportunity to throw the yellow flag on the Justin Cox penalty? I don’t know anymore. But how do you change the rules in the middle of a season? That one wasn’t changed to bite the Riders in the butt but they were the ones haunted by it on Sunday. This league. CFL V.P. of Football Glen Johnson is on record as saying, “We just want to get the call right”. They are not doing that. 6 - The naysayers who are scoffing at all of this are right about one - and only one thing. The Riders made enough miscues against Winnipeg on Sunday that it shouldn’t have had to come down to a referee’s call. Kicker Tyler Crapigna’s day was forgettable. He’ll survive and get stronger because of this. Darian Durant threw two fatal interceptions and was inaccurate in the redzone which directly led to field goal attempts. Those suggesting his skills are on the decline are out to lunch. He’s always been

somewhat erratic and his career completion percentage is proof of that. The league-worst run defense was only slightly better in this game and they were still victimized by an 80-plus yard aerial touchdown on their secondary. However as we’ve said all summer, the Riders are good enough at blowing games themselves. They don’t need the officials’ assistance. In how many games now have questionable Pass Interference challenges gone against Roughrider defensive backs andfor opposition defensive backs? This sequence of events has happened against the Roughriders in games against Calgary, Hamilton and now Winnipeg. And now, the Rider season is over with eight games to go. Bravo. 7 - I was told TSN’s Sportscentre ran my call of the 85-yard punt return touchdown by Kendial Lawrence Sunday evening. I flipped on the Sportscentre replay on Monday morning and sure enough, they led off the show with

it. It actually sounded and looked pretty good. Thank you very much TSN. They don’t do that very often. They know that the Riders drive this league. Hopefully they can inform Mayberry.

8 - That Lawrence touchdown was the ﬁrst return touchdown by the Roughriders since last year’s Labour Day Classic where Nic Demski returned one 50some yards for a score. 9 - Hopefully Labour Day Weekend was a safe one around here and everybody had a good time despite the outcome of the game. The hotels, restaurants and bars appeared to all be full and that certainly illustrates why the Roughriders are such a big deal to this city and province. Hopefully fans continue to sellout games the rest of the way even though the playoﬀs are out of sight. There are

still tickets left for the ﬁnal game at Old Mosaic Stadium on October 29 and that will be one of Saskatchewan’s all-time greatest moments. 10 - Sensing his Roughriders could use some goodwill and positive P.R., team President Craig Reynolds made the executive decision on Saturday to extend the Rider Fan Day autograph session by an extra 20 minutes. This ensured that each and every fan got an autograph from their Roughrider heroes. Rider Fan Day is always a thrill and an emotional treat for me because I remember my Mom taking me to it many, many years ago. My autograph sheet from that day featured the names of Mike Strickland and Billy McBride which after checking the Rider rosters many years later online - must’ve meant the year was 1980. I would’ve been 7. Very special.

Take me out to the ball game

See that fella over there? He’s 20 years old. In 10 years, he’s got a chance to be a star. Now that fella over there, he’s 20 years old, too. In 10 years he’s got a chance to be 30. Casey Stengal Stengal wasn’t talking about Jay’s Troy Tulowitski. On August 28 in what could have been the turning point of the game Tulowitski went to the mound and talked to the pitcher, and the catcher joined them. The Jays went on to win the game. Tulowitski did the same thing on August 29. Jays won again. The maxim that great players make everyone around them better transcends all sports, and it is true in life’s game as well. That old song “Take me out to the ball game” can also be applied to the game of life. “Take me out to the ball game Take me out with the crowd” It is so easy to follow the crowd, to “buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks” and to root for the home team. Makes you want to never come back. We all get three strikes in the game. Actually the Lord gives us more chances – like seventy seven times seven chances. Wow! That increases our chances for the “fortune and fame” the song talks about. Now if you want to be the star in your life, consider the above meta-

phor. Sunday Church is like a ball game, without the peanuts. And when did you last have a cracker jack, the one with the little prize inside? But Church is a treat. It is more inspiring than Troy Tulowitski. It gets you away from the hold the world has on you, brings you back to peace and brings back the healthy psyche of the soul. Now what would Casey Stengal say about the average church-goer on Sunday morning? In ten years, how much will his or her life have improved? If we live our lives with the intensity of a Jason Grilli – Jays relief pitcher with the last 12 innings scoreless; with three walks and 14 strikeouts (as of August 28, 2016)? Well, we could be more than just ten years older in ten years from now. And some of us may have left the game by then. The song continues: “All I need is just one chance I could hit a home run There isn’t anyone else like me Maybe I’ll go down in history” And that is so true! There is no one else like you and like me through all of history. Talk about the uniqueness of a snowﬂake. You bet we can be stars at That Old Ball Game.

Genuine riches By Linda Wegner Like me, I’m sure you’ve received dozens of notiﬁcations over the years that inform you that you are eligible to cash in on millions of dollars. Between the deaths of untold numbers of military men, as well as beloved fathers, uncles and who-knows-whoelse, the number of dollars I would receive by responding to these spam emails exceeds my ability to count. Just think, if I would simply supply personal information to these fraudsters who want me to believe that they have my best interests at heart, I would be able to spend lavishly for the rest of my life. On the other hand, if they would spend some money on a good education they’d have a good grasp of spelling and grammar, something they sadly lacked at the time of sending oﬀ those messages to me. On a sadder note, I’ve heard of many people who are snared in these traps. When lonely or perhaps desperate (or greedy) enough to believe the spiel they’ve received, they are

caught in the net of deceit. A study out of the Financial Fraud Research Center at Stanford University’s Center on Longevity estimates that somewhere around 30 million Americans (not counting Canadians!) are sucked into financial fraud estimated at $40 billion to $50 billion annually. Even more surprising, to me at least, is that “victims include older people, yes, but also younger ones. Educated and undereducated. White-collar and blue-collar. Dumb people and smart ones.” (http://longevity3.stanford.edu/ blog/2012/11/19/scams-schemesand-swindles-a-review-of-consumerfinancial-fraud-research/) Deceit and fraud isn’t restricted to financial matters, though. In his letters to the early church, the Apostle Paul warns of spiritual deception and urges believers to keep focused on the simple Gospel of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. “…the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him, for whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Managing Your Money Tooth Fairy teachings for your kids

A wobbling baby tooth is a sign that the Tooth Fairy will soon be visiting. It’s also a sign for parents – that it’s time to help guide your kids through their important, first-time money activities. Baby teeth earnings are more lucrative than you might think: In 2015, young Canadians could expect an average of $3.44 for a lost tooth – a 23 per cent increase over the 2014 average of $2.80 per tooth. That’s almost $70 for a full set of first teeth.* And depending on where they live in Canada, some youngsters can expect even more. In Québec, for example, the average Tooth Fairy payout is $4 while about five per cent of lucky young Canucks will find $20 per tooth under their pillow.** Here’s how you and the Tooth Fairy can help teach your young ones some basic lessons about money: Teach kids about handling coins and currency At some point, your child will want to save, spend or invest. Start them off on the right track by having them touch and feel some coins and identify their value. Show them how money adds up – how two nickels equal a dime and five nickels equal a quarter. Get them a piggy bank and talk to them about the importance of saving for the things they want and for emergencies. Help your kids with first purchases Use the Tooth Fairy money to teach them the value of balancing wants and needs. Have them set aside money for savings and when their savings goal has been reached, reward them with a trip to the store for a small purchase. Show them how to shop for the best price and let your child complete the transaction on their own. Make the connection between kids and cash The Tooth Fairy likely

isn’t the only source of cash for your kids – cash is often a popular birthday or holiday gift – so use each “gift” to reinforce the value of saving and spending wisely. Introduce the concept of budgeting As your kids get older, have them allocate their spending in line with their need to save according to a basic budget. Bank on it Show them how adults handle money by regularly taking them to the bank and, when it’s time, have them open their own savings account. A visit from the Tooth Fairy is an ideal opening to teach your kids important money lessons. It can also serve as a reminder to you that it’s time to talk to your professional advisor about your own financial life. *The moment of Tooth: how the Tooth Fairy can teach your kids about money by Carla Hindman, Director of Financial Education, Visa Canada – Practical Money Skills, https://www. practicalmoneyskills.ca/ personalfinance/practicalmoneymatters/columns_2015/09_ToothFairy. php **Survey reveals Tooth Fairy’s going rates across Canada by Patricia Kozicka, Global News --http://globalnews.ca/news/ 2171237/surveyreveals-tooth-fairys-going-ratesacross-canada/ This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

42 CANADA: NATURAL SOURCE OF PRIDE SINCE 1867

SNOLAB Unravelling the deep, dark secrets of the universe Far beneath the streets of Sudbury, Ontario, scientists from a dozen North American universities are hard at work inside the deepest clean room facility in the world. Their mission: to figure out why we exist, no less. And SNOLAB—named after the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO), the experiment for which the two-kilometre-deep facility was originally built—provides an ideal setting to crack the case. As part of their daily commute, SNOLAB employees must take an ear-popping elevator ride down a mineshaft at a speed of ten metres per second, followed by a long stroll through the dark tunnels of Vale Creighton mine. Then, it’s shower time: entering the lab requires stripping down, washing up, and finally zipping into clean room attire. Why so deep? To shield the lab from cosmic rays, The DEAP-3600 detector under construction. © Mark Ward, of course! Simply put, the experiments performed used under CC-BY 3.0 at SNOLAB use equipment so sensitive that the normal amount of radiation and particles found on Earth would render it useless. Imagine trying to weigh a single snowflake during a blizzard—and then imagine that the snow is also invisible. This is also why extreme cleanliness is required of anyone who steps foot inside the lab. Particle physics and its related fields are astoundingly complex, but their main goal boils down to explaining how our world works at the most fundamental level. The key to understanding what’s actually going on in the universe—why atoms are able to form planets and stars, and what holds everything together—is hidden, scientists think, in dark matter. But before physicists can start studying dark matter, they need to find it. That’s where DEAP-3600, a giant, spherical, alien-like contraption nestled inside SNOLAB, comes into play. The DEAP-3600 experiment is one of eleven currently underway at SNOLAB. The device, whose goal is to detect dark matter in hopes of unravelling its mysteries, is the most sensitive of its kind in the world. Researchers hope to start collecting and analyzing data from the experiment in 2016, but no one really knows what results, if any, will this ambitious endeavour yield. One thing is certain, however: Canada is a leading contributor to the complex field of particle astrophysics, and DEAP3600 has a strong potential for groundbreaking discovery. The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, precursor of the DEAP project and SNOLAB as a whole, provided crucial insight into the behaviour of neutrinos—a milestone advancement in the field. Queen’s University physicist Arthur McDonald co-won the 2015 Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the SNO. His efforts helped pave the way for what is now, some believe, humanity’s best chance yet of finding the missing piece in an incredibly complex puzzle.

CANADA’S SLOVAK COMMUNITY

TREE: BALSAM FIR

Slovak people have been in Canada since the mid-1800s. A first wave of immigrants from the Central European region now called Slovakia settled in Alberta and Saskatchewan, where farmland was so abundant that newcomers were promised 60 acres of free land. Following a lull during the First World War, immigration resumed, but the 35,000 Slovaks that arrived in Canada during this period largely settled in mining areas rather than farmland, forming large communities in Northern

The balsam fir (Abies balsamea) became New Brunswick’s arboreal emblem in 1987. This tree is an important part of the province’s history of pulp and paper production. The wood is also used for lumber. These conifers make beautiful Christmas trees and 97% of holiday pines grown in New Brunswick are in fact balsam firs.

Ontario and Quebec. A later wave of immigration saw some 13,000 highly educated Slovaks flee their homeland following the Warsaw Pact and subsequent invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. Many of them became celebrated academics in Canada. The Canadian Slovak League is the most important Slovak organization in Canada. Founded in 1932, the league hosts social and cultural events that aim to keep Slovak heritage and traditions alive in Canada. Painters Ladislav Guderna and Tibor Koválik, musician Antonia Mazán and filmmaker Ingrid Veninger are a few Slovak Canadians who made an impact on the country’s cultural scene. In the sports world, notable Slovak Canadians include NHL players Stan Mikita and the Stasny brothers, as well as former Edmonton Eskimo Mike Volcan. If you find yourself near the city of Oshawa, Ontario, pay a visit to the Slovak Canadian Heritage Museum to learn more about this vibrant community. Na zdravie!

Alida News Submitted by Edel Cowan

The community wishes to extend best wishes to Brad and Kelli Healey who will be making their new home in the Alida area. Brad is working for Secure Energy Services. They are moving onto the acreage west of town (the former Ken Nielsen farmyard). Welcome to Alida folks – hope you enjoy your new home. At this time the community also extend best wishes to Carrie and Dale Wilson who have moved (from the above mentioned acreage) to make their new home in the Virden, MB area. We will miss seeing you folks around and about – Gook luck to you both in your new endeavors. Joyce and Jackie George came for a harvest dinner at the Cowan farm on August 31 – a great way of saying good-bye to August. Just wished that the shower of rain hadn’t decided to arrive which put another stop to the harvesting. These showers are weird – one place just enough to stop things for a wee while, then in another enough to stop for the day or maybe more, while in another nothing – makes some farmers very discussed and irate. Oh well can’t control Mother Nature, got to take what she decides to give us – one just has to grin and bear it and wait until tomorrow. There’s not much news this week (due to the short news report as one went out Monday morning and now on Thursday noon) oh well maybe more

for next time (week and a half of news) when deadline is back to being Sunday (Sept. 11) evening for me. Gosh did you notice the date – that puts it well into September – where does the time go? Hard to believe the kids are back to school now too. Some anxious to get back (wouldn’t admit it) to see classmates and friends while others just wish that the holidays wouldn’t end. Say that IS one thing time hasn’t changed (not wanting school to start). Anyway – Good luck in this year’s school year everyone! Husband has been visiting the coffee shop of late and reports that there have been some fantastic yields for this year’s crops. Said he has to get there early in order to get one of the good yields. Understand that most of the good yields have already been all taken. All kidding aside though most of the crops are yielding fairly good and hopefully will soon be in the bin for another year. Oh yes, hubby just came home and told me that he has hired custom combiners to finish up the harvest and that we are now packing up and moving to Arizona. Well he just blew that story – shouldn’t have said Arizona, should have stayed in Canada (BC maybe). That will be the day!!! So if you hear this tidbit news and believe it – you’re in need of a holiday FAST. Gosh this weather had better clear up soon and let the men get back out to do their field work again before the whole country explodes!

The market for organically produced foods

By Calvin Daniels World markets for agricultural products are fragile things, as Canadian producers are keenly aware. It seems strange that in a world many still go to bed hungry most days that food products don’t flow with almost no barriers, after all feeding the population should be a paramount concern. It’s clearly not the situation though. Politics trump feeding the hungry, and the profitability of farm producers. We saw that with the tariff wars of European Union and United States coffers a decade or so ago. We saw it from the extended trade barriers built when Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) was found in a lone Canadian cow back in 2003. While the initial border closures might have been justified in light of a lack of understanding regarding how widespread BSE might be, science soon came out on the side of the case not being a threat to consumers, but many borders hide behind BSE as a trade barrier. It’s all rather intriguing in a world where politicians outwardly champion the concepts of free trade among nations, but many quickly hide behind anything they can to bolster their position in trade. In Canada we have a rather narrow focus, sell farm products abroad. Our land base allows for huge production, and our small population consumers are a small portion of that production. We have had the foresight in the past to create a few key supply managed systems for dairy and poultry products to ensure production profits and consumer food safety and supply assurances. That said those sectors are eventually to be sacrificed to the idea of free trade deals. I for one am not happy with the idea of my ‘fresh’

milk arriving from Mexico. But back to the fragile nature of world markets, and how they impact farmers. China recently agreed to delay introducing stricter rules on shipments of canola from Canada. It had appeared new rules were imminent which would have increased costs in terms of Canadian canola making it into Chinese markets. China had stated the tougher import rules were necessary to prevent the spread of blackleg disease from Canadian canola into Chinese crops of rapeseed (the base for canola). The Chinese have suggested tightening the allowable limits for foreign matter in ships. Industry participants say the new standard, under which China would reduce the amount of foreign matter allowed per shipment to no more than one per cent from 2.5 per cent which would increase cleaning costs. But, just a day before the new standards were due to go into force, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang announced Canada would be able to continue with the current canola export regime, while a longerterm solution was worked out. That they stepped back from the edge of new rules at the last minute suggest a compromise deal will be forged. China is Canada’s top export market for the oilseed, and China is a huge importer. It accomplishes little to impact the relationship dramatically. But that it came down to the wire shows again how a market can be threatened based on changing a rule long in place, and not likely to stay closer to the status quo than the Chinese postured. That just brings into question whether there was a threat to Chinese rapeseed, or was it simply political sabre-rattling?

weekend with her family in Regina. Word has been received on the death of Eileen Warner of Calgary. She and her husband Arthur lived in the Belleville district, they farmed on the Leon Vinck farm, in 1962 they sold the farm to Graham Munro and moved to Calgary to be closer to some of their family. Arthur died in 1993 and Eileen was able to live on her own until recently. To all the family members our condolences from your Kennedy friends. Sometimes we say there is nothing to do in Kennedy. However, I see many people enjoying their walks around the Village and they may see more than others see in a trip around the world. Something to think about!!

Saskatchewan students and schools benefit from improvements to CommunityNet September 6, 2016 – Today SaskTel announced that it is making signiﬁcant strides to improve the broadband service in schools all across Saskatchewan since assuming the administrative responsibility for CommunityNet in April of this year. To date SaskTel has met with and assessed the needs of all the school divisions that utilize CommunityNet in Saskatchewan. Based on those assessments, SaskTel has completed network bandwidth upgrades in over 40 schools. In addition, SaskTel will be upgrading all primary schools in the province to a minimum of 25 Mbps, a 250% increase from the previous minimum standard. Primary and secondary schools are also eligible for further bandwidth improvements based on proven demand. “As Saskatchewan’s leading communications company, we are committed to providing world class networks and advanced technology to the

residents of this province,” said Ron Styles, SaskTel President and CEO. “We are pleased to assume the administrative responsibility for CommunityNet and play a role in the education and development of this province’s next generation of leaders.” CommunityNet connects educational facilities, schools, regional colleges, public libraries, health agencies, government departments and agencies into a private network, oﬀering high speed broadband services to both urban and rural areas. In February of this year, the Government of Saskatchewan announced a $3.4 million grant for continued bandwidth upgrades to the education portion of CommunityNet. Added Styles “SaskTel continues to actively develop new technologies which will allow for a more cost eﬀective delivery of broadband services to schools across this province now and into the future.”

Parenting Tips from Regional KidsFirst

- Crazy goop Part 1

This is a great activity for children of all ages from 4 months and up. There is no “end product” just lots of tactile fun making the goop and then squishing it around. Ingredients: 1 cup water ½ cup cornstarch Food Colouring Zipper bags (optional)

Directions: **Keep children a safe distance away from the stove and do not let young children of any age pour the boiling water. Boil water in a pot. Add cornstarch and stir until smooth. Slowly add food colouring until it is the colour that you would like. Remove from the heat and cool. Let your children squish away on a tray at the table or on the ﬂoor. For less mess, put into a zipper bag and seal. Some children may not like the feel of goop and may pre-

fer playing with it in a sealed bag. While you are making it: While making the goop, toddlers and preschoolers can learn about safety rules when working in the kitchen. In addition, remember to talk about each of the ingredients, allowing them to touch, smell, and if possible, taste each one. As you combine the ingredients, talk about how the mixture changes with the addition of each ingredient. Once it is done, talk about the qualities of goop.

Safe Driver Recognition changes effective this October Changes to SGI’s Safe Driver Recognition (SDR) program take eﬀect Oct. 12, 2016. The program was implemented in 2002 to reward safe drivers and encourage risky drivers to change their behaviour. SGI began reviewing the program in 2012, seeking feedback from customers, stakeholders and employees. Recommendations for both bigger discounts and tougher penalties were approved by government late last year. Another signiﬁcant change to the program is harsher penalties for speeding convictions. In 2014, 30 people were killed and 872 injured in 1,954 speed-related collisions in Saskatchewan. “Speeding increases your risk of being in a collision,” said Andrew Cartmell, President and CEO of SGI. “We see this play out time and time again in Saskatchewan. Tougher consequences under the SDR program should help speeders get the message to slow down.” Drivers will now lose points for all speeding convictions (except photo speed enforcement convictions) and in some cases the number of points a driver loses for a speeding infraction is increasing. Other details include:

• The safety rating scale will grow by one point a year for the next ﬁve years, from +20 to +25. As the scale grows, drivers with the safest records will earn higher discounts on their vehicle insurance, reaching 25% when the scale reaches its maximum in 2020 (from the current 20%) • Financial penalties will double from $25 to $50 per point in the penalty zone • Drivers responsible for collisions will lose points based on the seriousness of the collision – 4 points for claim payouts under $700 and 6 points for claim payouts of $700 or more “When you get behind the wheel of a car, the decisions you make can be literally life or death for you, your passengers and other people on the road. It’s a responsibility we all need to understand and take seriously. Our intention in strengthening the SDR program is to better recognize those of you who have done that, and to give everyone else more reason to think about the choices they’re making when they drive,” Cartmell said. For more information about these changes, see the attached backgrounder or visit SGI’s website at www.sgi.sk.ca/sdr.
