White Bear First Nations recently held elections for Chief and Council (June 14); for the ﬁrst time in a very long time it was decided that a Swearing-In Ceremony would be

held to celebrate their culture and to promise their community that they will do their best to serve them. This ceremony was held at 11 a.m. on July 5 at the White Bear Education Complex. Conducting the pipe ceremony, which blessed the day

and the event, was one of the community elders, Michael Lonechild. The Chief and Council were joined by the Senior Management of the Band as well as the general counsel of the Band. In Cree, Lonechild, essentially said that everything

ON NOW

happens in a good way, that we’re all related, and that everyone agrees to do what is best for the community, while working together. Partaking in the pipe ceremony shows that everyone has agreed to this and displays hope for the future.

Following the pipe ceremony, introductions of Chief and Council were made. For the next two years Nathan Pasap will act as Chief for White Bear First Nations.

You’ll take some time off, but only after finishing everything on your to-do list. At home, you will achieve something that will make you particularly proud, whether it’s a floorto-ceiling cleaning spree or a longoverdue renovation.

You’ll manage to find balance between rest and work. However, if you’re self-employed, you won’t be able to resist checking email from time to time, despite having promised yourself to stay away.

TAURUS

Take the time to recharge before diving headfirst into anything. You will be compelled to take some downtime. Let life guide you to where you need to go.

No need to go far to have a nice vacation. You’ll enjoy yourself just fine at home with friends and family. Just remember that proper planning is the key to success.

Everything about you will be nononsense. Even on holiday, you may opt to stay in contact with work or contemplate some important projects instead of relaxing and enjoying life. Summer vacation will come and go way too quickly, but you will still be able to fully enjoy the time off in good company. You’ll need to organize your time carefully if you wish to do everything you have planned.

Cleaning up your social circle is long overdue if you wish to better enjoy your time spent with your true friends. You may follow this up by planning a trip with those who make the cut.

From front page - Chief and council He will be joined by a council of six: Debbie Anne Maxie, Tanya Littlechief, Bernard Shepherd, Dez Standingready, Brett Standingready, and Robert McArthur. “The swearing in ceremony, which is the ﬁrst many you have seen, is a new beginning; it marks a new term and a new way of doing things,” Lonechild told the crowd. “Today we honour the new Chief and Councillors.” “Former Chief Brian Standingready is an honourable man and he has served our community for a very long time. He spoke for us. He fought for us. We thank him for all he did. Now we have a new leader, Nathan Pasap, and we have come here to honour him and to encourage him to do a good job.” In the crowd were community elders, family members of the newly elected Chief and Council, former chiefs and councillors, staﬀ from the administration and health departments, and community members. Southeast drummers, Wooden Face, sang the “Honour Song” to mark the occasion before the Chief and Council took the opportunity to thank everyone for their support. Former Chief Bernard Shepherd allowed Pasap to wear his headdress during the ceremony: “There are a lot of protocols to honour with headdresses,” Shepherd explained. “This one will stay in my family, but we are able to use it today and it is a great honour to lend it to Nathan for this ceremony.” Chief Pasap then spoke to the crowd, “I thank the Creator for giving us life and for allowing us to gather today and share a meal. Thank you all for coming out today to celebrate our

It is an honour to serve you as Chief and I will do my best to do what needs to be done these next two years. We will focus on strengthening our community as that is the responsibility we have as leadership. I also want to thank elder Michael Lonechild for bringing his pipe and doing the pipe ceremony for us. Thanks to the grandmothers, grandfathers, and all that came before us. Being elected chief is a very humbling experience and I will remain humble, respectful, and will work hard for our people over the next two years.” Councillor Maxie added, “Thank you for allowing me to serve on council for White Bear. Together we will build a better community. We believe in the people of White Bear.” Councillor Littlechief was said, “I’m honoured to sit here and be one of the women elected to represent our people. I would like to acknowledge our past leadership and wish them the best; I know that they will be there for us if we are in need. Myself, I will try my hardest for everyone,

but especially the youth, I have a heart for them.” Councillor Brett Standingready added, “I’ve lived in White Bear my whole life and because of that I know what needs to be done and I will do my best in the most respectful way. Councillor Shepherd stated, “I’m older than these guys here, but I’m still learning. We’re all still learning. Thank you to everyone for the opportunity to lead White Bear again. It is a large and powerful community, both on and oﬀ the reserve, and I’m looking forward to the future. I will do my best to support council and support Nathan and his vision for our great community.” Councillor Dez Standingready said, “Thank you everyone for believeing in us. I’m here to serve the best interest of the Nation with an open heart, an open mind, and an open door.” Councillor McArthur explained, “That song [the Honour Song] is telling the universe that this is hard to do. I would like to congratulate the new Chief, Nathan as a tough road ahead of him. I noticed in our ﬁrst week that we’re sep-

arated and we need this to change, individuals like ourselves want to help, and we will to our best to lead that change. People are critical, and have been like that for years, and we forget to support Chief and Council from the outside, so I hope that we can all come together. I want for us to change, to become healthier and to see where we want to go in the future and do it. Two years is not a lot of time to be able to change much, it’s a learning process, but we will do the best we can standing shoulder to shoulder.” Councillor McArthur also thanked the past council saying “I never envied you once and what you have had to deal with over the years and thank you to uncle Brian, and former chief – but, he’s uncle first, for everything that he’s done for us.” Everyone in the room then lined up to shake hands in a showing of respect and encouragement to the new Chief and Council for the coming years.

Stoughton Daze: something for everyone Kelly Running Observer Staff

It was once again a busy and successful weekend of community clubs and members coming together to put on the annual Stoughton Daze. From Friday, July 7, to Sunday, July 9, the action packed weekend brought many to town to enjoy something for the whole family. Friday evening kicked off with a golf tournament at the local golf course, while Private Drive performed that evening at the Crossroads Inn. Saturday morning began with a hearty pancake breakfast at the Fire Hall, which was sponsored by Stoughton-Tecumseh and District Fire Department. At 10 p.m. the annual Lions Parade kicked off, first parading by New Hope Lodge and then down Main Street where many lined the streets to see the inventive floats and where kids hoped they’d be walking away with a haul of candy, which they did. Immediately following the parade there was a magic show hosted at the Library, while slowpitch, beach volleyball, a car show, kids events, paint ball target shooting, and entertainment by Boomtown commenced throughout the day at the Fair Grounds.

Stopping by the DropIn Centre one could look at the numerous entries for the Ag Society Show including ﬂower arrangements, garden grown goods, baking, canned goods, photography, quilts, school work, and much more. It remains an event that brings the community together and reminds everyone of their past. Sunday morning saw the Third Annual 5K Colour Walk/Run fundraiser hosted on behalf of Stoughton’s swimming pool. Following that the New Hope Horse Club to their action going with their annual Fun Horse Show where participants took part in jumping, gymkhana, and showing in a wide variety of other classes. This year they had over 30 participants and as a special treat showcased a “stick horse musical ride” for the crowd. The Redneck Races were underway by 1 p.m. Numerous entries took part in the high ﬂying action which sees old cars raced around a small course built at the demo derby site. The action packed weekend saw families and friends enjoy something for everyone as Stoughton hosted such varied activities to partake in and watch during their annual Stoughton Daze.

Trail Ride celebrates 45 years of Saskairie Kelly Running Observer Staff

It was 45 years ago that Jack MacKenzie, along with Don and Nora Stewart, decided they wanted to develop a place for people to go to get back to nature. Although all three were from Regina, they fell in love with the Moose Mountains and after sending nearly 50 letters out inquiring with land owners in the area about selling a section, it seemed like it wouldn’t happen. They had only received three letters back and all three replies were negative. Instead of a general letter the group changed their approach and began talking, face-to-face with landowners. Eventually they were able to explain their dream to Hugh and Mary Kippen who sold them the land for Saskairie: A Project of Prairie Lore and Living Society. Don, an engineer, came up with the plans for the project and established the lodge with help from White Bear First Nations. Additionally, Tom and Florrence Scarrow were integral in the upkeep of Saskairie for numerous years. Now the Saskairie Board is operated by 22 members and has over 100 members in general. It is an important site for many and has been used for a trail ride camp – as it was on July 7-9, for school groups, general camping, family reunions, the Moose Mountain Marathon base camp, and much more. The main costs for Saskairie include general upkeep, taxes, and insurance for the facility; but, with fundraisers such as the trail ride and continued support by many, it continues to offer a

The view on the trail included a stop by weather station hill, which is high enough to see across the rolling Moose Mountains to the horizon across the flat prairies. natural oasis in the Moose Mountains for people to connect with nature. This year the trail ride saw more riders out than last year, which was nice to see for organizers including Grace Martin-Robertson: “It’s been good weather and everyone is having a good time. It’s been a wonderful weekend with lots of people, lots of sponsors – we had so many local businesses donating goodies to us and they’ve been super each and every year in their support.” “The trails were really good. It’s been hot and dry, so there’s not a lot of mud to go through,” she adds. “It’s a lot more comfortable of a ride, more relaxed than other rides are. Today [Saturday] is the big ride; but, they go out in the morning and are back for lunch, then head out again. Those that don’t want to go out again don’t have to and

those with young children might stay back for the afternoon too. So, it’s really relaxed.” Beth Westfall, their trail boss, has been an amazing person to work with over the years for the group as she puts in a lot of effort to scope out the trails prior to the weekend and has donated a lot over the years. Additionally, the organizers mentioned Randy and Colleen Frasier. Randy is usually out for the weekend as the “sound and music man.” He has recently been diagnosed with cancer, but that hasn’t stopped him and Colleen from thinking about the Saskairie Trail Riders. “He’s been awesome. He would always bring out his whole sound system and his lights with him,” Martin-Robertson explained. “We wouldn’t have Jackie [Guy] here without him. And this year, despite all that he’s going through, he still kept

us in mind and found us a new sound guy out of Kelvington to come out for a ride and bring his sound equipment.” Guy performed Saturday evening as the attending trail riders enjoyed a dinner and Chinese auction. “With Jackie [Guy]

here and the gentleman from Kelvington with his sound system, that entertainment makes our trail ride quite special I think.” The trail ride was another success and the members of Saskairie encourage families, school groups, scouts,

cadets, etc… to contact Martin-Robertson regarding bookings and for more information to visit Facebook: Saskairie for more information. The building can be rented or if you’re just looking for a camping site, that can be arranged as well.

Farrell Agencies: reinvesting in community Kelly Running Observer Staff

Farrell Agencies in Stoughton celebrated on Friday, July 7, with a free community BBQ to mark the opening of their new building in town. Previously on Main Street, Farrell Agencies relocated to 400 Railway Ave. “Three and a half years ago we took over Tramer Agency with the hope that we could establish ourselves in a new community, removed from Yorkton,” Jason Farrell explained. “Three and a half years later we’ve invested in a new office to service this region, which is a direct reflection of the support we have received from the area.” “We are huge believers in supporting community events and supporting the communities were serve in general, it’s a large part of our culture here; so, everything we do is based on the communities we serve.” This includes the free BBQ on July 6, which had a donation box set out for the Stoughton Legion – currently raising funds for a new roof. As the only hall left in the community it has become an important facility in the community. Farrell Agencies is based out of Yorkton and has branches in Bredenbury, Churchbridge, Foam Lake, Langenburg, Stoughton, and Theodore which allows clients to stop in at any Farrell Agency and be assisted. “What makes us unique is the number of insurance markets we represent,” Farrell explained. “We represent 23 different insurance markets, which allows us to give consumers choices they’ve never had before. At anytime Farrell Agencies can find you the best company for

We also have a 24hour claims service where you’ll be talking to one of my staff and not just an answering service.” In addition to these benefits, Farrell says that they have an exclusive insurance program for seed growers, processors, and retailers, which focuses on their unique needs. There are three fulltime staff who work at the Stoughton branch of Farrell Agencies including Candice Hoffman, Gayla Gilbertson, and Reine

Verbeem – who is currently on maternity leave. With Verbeem away, Pat Rogers, who is retired but used to work for Tramer, is ﬁlling in for Verbeem. Additionally, Brent Danchilla, works out of the Stoughton branch on occasion to help service agriculture related insurances as well. Grinning, Farrell added, “You can’t work at Farrell Agencies unless you have a smile on your face and are genuinely happy to see your customers walk in; those are the only people I employ.” Stoughton is excited to celebrate Farrell Agencies continued success in the community and thank them in turn for the investment and support of Stoughton.

Creativity abounds at first annual Art Camp at the Red Barn Kelly Running Observer Staff

The ﬁrst ever Art Camp at the Red Barn was hosted by Arcola teachers, Whitney Paul and Janine Houston, July 3-5 and July 10-12. “We had kids preregister with us for this week or the next, and they also had the option of doing day camps too,” Paul explained. With youth from Arcola, Carlyle, Weyburn, Regina, and Reston, MB, it was considered a success. “We’ve talked about doing it for a couple of years,” Houston said. “So, when Brenda and Harold [Johnson] oﬀered the Red Barn for us to use we thought it was a good opportunity.”

“It’s a great space and a good location,” Paul added. “It was really nice of Brenda and Harold to donate the space to us to get started. In the future we’re hoping to get out more kids, but this summer was about getting things going and running smoothly.” The camp involved tie dye, making clay monsters and painting them, beaded wind chimes, tictac-toe rocks, participated in a scavenger hunt, made their own scavenger hunt, and more. Ages ranged July 3-5 from youth 9-10, while those attending July 10-12 included youth from 7-12. “Awesome!” and “Fun!” were the two words yelled out to describe the camp by the youth attending.

Gravelled parking lot to be made at Lions Park

Kelly Running Observer Staff

Parking lot at Lions Park The Carlyle Town Council met on Wednesday, July 5, to discuss a variety of community matters. One project currently underway is the alteration of what were once tennis courts near the Crescent Point Leisure Complex. The courts are in disrepair, but council has decided to clean up and gravel this area to provide a parking lot – which the area has been used for, for many years – to those with activities on in Lions Park.

wind energy isn’t necessarily the best type to harness. They would also like to look at solar energy and see what benefits it could have at remote locations such as the Town well sites and potentially the rink – as the rink uses a lot of energy it may be beneficial to cut electricity costs by making this type of investment. Discussion will take place in the future.

Quote of the Week... “Real knowlegdge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.” - Confucius

Right or wrong:

Khadr’s ongoing story Currently being discussed across the country is Omar Khadr and a multimillion-dollar settlement for wrongful imprisonment. The argument being the government violated international law when it allowed the United States to detain him at Guantanamo Bay. He was the youngest at 15-years-old and the last Western Kelly Running detainee held at the U.S. military Observer Staff prison located in Cuba. Khadr is a Canadian born citizen. At 15-years-old, he was captured b y U.S. troops in Afghanistan after a gunﬁght broke out. Khadr was suspected of throwing a grenade, which killed one and injured another U.S. soldier. He was taken to Guantanamo and charged with war crimes, which he pleaded guilty to years later, and later recanted as it was made under duress. He was sentenced eight years in addition to the time he already spent in custody and was returned to Canada in 2012 to serve the remainder of his sentence before being released in May 2015 pending an appeal of his guilt. Khadr was likened by some to a child soldier, his mind poisoned by radicalism, and these people asked for leniency. Others, however, are indiﬀerent to how he was treated in Guantanamo Bay and simply see a guilty man who should pay for his crimes. Is torture an accurate way to illicit a confession though? Sleep deprivation was used, which is prohibited under Canadian law. The Supreme Court in 2010 stated, “Canada actively participated in a process contrary to its international human rights obligations and contributed to (Khadr’s) ongoing detention so as to deprive him of his right to liberty and security of the person.” He was threatened with a lifetime of detention without trial unless he pleaded guilty. I’ve never been tortured and I never want to be. I am getting a large piece tattooed on my side – which is substantially more painful than any of my tattoos. I was able to say stop when I needed a break to breathe. At one point it actually felt like I had been speared straight through my side and it got me thinking about torture. When you’re being tortured that’s not how it works and there’s only so much the mind and body can endure before breaking. So, did he do it? Was he a child soldier? Was he in the wrong place at the wrong time because of his father? No one knows for certain except for him. However, whether he did it or not, he is a Canadian citizen and is therefore subject to our laws and under our laws it says that he was mistreated and our government is being held to that. Our government is not above the law. When government is above the law, that’s when trouble ensues… Stalin, Hitler, any other dictator, Absolute Monarchs, etc… The Liberals did decide to settle outside of court, but with the Maher Arar case under the Conservatives, a precedent was set to make a payout in this situation anyways; so, the Liberals avoided going to court where who knows how much would be spent in legal costs – whether they won the case or not – and very likely have to pay Khadr on top of these amassed legal fees. They opted to avoid a case that looked unwinnable, especially considering the Supreme Court’s statement from 2010 and the Conservatives payout for the Arar case. Khadr now vehemently opposes radical Islam and is pursuing a career in health care. Our judicial system is supposed to be based on rehabilitation and reintegration (although it doesn’t always work in many people’s opinions and in the public’s eye he will always face hardships – whether repentant or not); looking at his life now, it would, however, appear that with his second chance he’s going to attempt to right any wrongs.

We need rules because our future is not a game A quiet campsite, a picnic table and a classic board game made for countless enjoyable evenings when I was growing up. I would often choose Monopoly despite the protests of others who complained it took too long to play. But on those luxuriously warm, long evenings of camping I couldn’t wait to get My Outlook a round going. Shelley Luedtke The buying/selling property game is now sold in 114 countries and in 47 languages. Its beginnings are fraught with controversy. A game created by a woman named Lizzy Magie as an economics teaching tool was taken and adapted until it was presented as Monopoly which, although initially was rejected by game manufacturers, celebrated its 80th birthday a couple of years ago. A repeat champion of the international Monopoly tournament says the key to winning is owning the orange properties, while a statistical analysis indicates the most-landed on squares are Illinois Avenue, “GO”, and the B&O Railroad. But despite this evidence the strategy to my game has always been to go after the light blue properties. They are cheap to buy, inexpensive to develop and always seem to pay out well over the course of the game. The aspect of Monopoly that is quite interesting is when you play with people outside your usual circle and see the kind of house rules that have developed. We all have them--whether we realize it or not. Hasbro, the manufacturer that now owns the rights, found in a survey that 70% of players have never read the rules to the game. So the company encouraged players to submit their house rules for consideration in upcoming editions. The most common one had to deal with free parking which according to the rules is to be a free resting space but which most of us have turned it into a ﬁnancial windfall. Other house rules included doing away with public auctions on unclaimed property, or not making players cash in houses at half their value.

So depending on where you play and who you play with, the game has different rules; changed to fit our situation, the interests of the players, or our desired outcome. Where this matters most, we know, is not a game. We continue to put programs in place to empower girls and women, or look to organizations that help men define masculinity in a world that is increasingly trying to tell us gender doesn’t matter. We are experiencing enormous problems with one particular drug and yet we are going to legalize another. Students demand respect on university campuses but denounce professors who want to use pronouns in the classroom. We say that every voice has a right to be heard but then we shut down the speech of anyone who delivers a message we don’t want to listen to. As we turn each corner and face what is coming down the line we aren’t quite sure what the consequences are or what the costs might be, because we no longer know the rules. It depends on who controls the game pieces, and this puts us at the mercy of changing political winds and in a tug-of-war of social movements. It creates such rancor and polarization it’s like we have forgotten how to talk to one another about anything anymore. There are always going to be game changers, but in just a short period of time we have altered, adapted and tossed aside so much it’s difficult to know if what matters today is going to hold any value tomorrow. Part of the problem is we have done away with the types of founding documents and creeds we once held meaningful as guiding principles. Or, at the very least, we haven’t taken the time to read them so now we are making up house rules as we go along. It’s not about winners and losers in the race for progress and change, it’s about hoping the future will be recognizable and that the values that draw together the best of humanity will be the standard bearer. We can’t let reason, prudence and tact go the way of Monopoly’s thimble, boot and wheelbarrow. That’s my outlook. Subscription Rates: $40.00/year within Canada (includes GST)

Financial Focus

Practical Money Matters By Carla Hindman Mobile Banking 101 We’re living in an increasingly connected world, where we want everything available at our fingertips. Mobile banking is becoming one of the most convenient ways to manage your finances and most banks now offer this capability through an app. There has been a surge in mobile banking activity in Canada, according to GroupM’s 2016 survey on smartphone adoption, with 85 per cent of respondents using apps compared to 60 per cent in 2014. If you haven’t already downloaded your bank’s app, it’s time to check it out. Banking apps are very convenient and make it easier for you to manage your money. Here are some frequently asked questions about mobile banking: What can I do with mobile banking? It may be new technology,

but it allows you to do almost all of your traditional banking activities. For example, you can check your account balance, track spending, review account history, deposit cheques, transfer funds and in some cases make payments with your smartphone. Some apps also allow you to check your investment accounts and go paperless by receiving account statements on your phone. What are the benefits of mobile banking? The best feature of mobile banking is the 24/7 access it gives you to your money. Whether you’re making purchases or depositing cheques, you can do it anytime and from anywhere you want. An added bonus is that most financial institutions don’t charge fees for mobile banking services and most banks offer their own mobile apps, tailored to their individual features and services.

Some banks offer their own companion apps that allow you to track your spending and stay on top of your budget; you may be able to set up real-time notifications and virtual receipts every time there is a transaction. Is mobile banking secure? Most banking apps are secure. Some consumers are wary of banking by app, which is understandable given how recent an advance mobile banking is. Mobile banking is becoming one of the most secure and convenient ways to pay and transfer money, especially with features like fingerprint technology and near-field communication (NFC) chips. Geolocation tracking can add an extra layer of security to your account. With your permission, some banks can use GPS data from your smartphone to help verify that you’re with your card when it’s used for a purchase.

Remember, password protection is an important aspect of online security. Don’t use the same password for multiple accounts, ﬁnancial or otherwise, and try to use twofactor authentication, meaning you need two elements to login, so someone can’t log in with your password alone. For added peace of mind, you are protected from unauthorized transactions in the event of fraud, provided you have met your security responsibilities. Bottom Line: Overall, mobile banking can make it easier for you to manage your spending and saving with 24/7 services.

PETS & VETS Hot sun, hiking, holidays and heat stroke! animal health column

Courtesy Head for the Hills Veterinary Services

Summer is in full swing! You may love to sit on the beach and get a nice tan or you may hate how much the heat makes you sweat. Even if you are a summer lover or hater, you and your pet are both at risk for heat stroke. Do you know what to look for if your animal is suﬀering from heat stroke? Some symptoms your pet can display are, vomiting, seeming disoriented or dizzy, being lethargic and not acting like themselves. Vomiting can easily lead to dehydration of your pet which when not properly dealt with and treated can lead to death in severe cases. An animal that is disoriented or dizzy is not only a danger to itself but the people around it. A dog that is disoriented can become fearful and aggressive which could lead to someone getting hurt. Pets that are very lethargic are usually very sick. A pet that is lethargic tends to be very tired looking, they don’t seem very happy or excited and do not have a lot of energy. Animals try not to show that they are not feeling well or injured. It is their natural instinct to hide their pain or illness because in the wild their ancestors knew that showing any signs of illness or pain could lead to them losing their spot in the pack or even losing their life. One place that is common for dogs

to suﬀer from heat stroke and all the symptoms is in a parked car. Did you know that a parked car in the sun on a hot day with temperatures of 21 degrees Celsius after half hour can go up to as high as 40 degree Celsius? Hundreds of dogs have died from being left in hot cars all over Canada in the last year. There are NO EXCUSES for leaving your pet in a parked car on a hot summer day! “Well I left the windows cracked” A window that is hardly open does not actually help with the inside temperatures of a car; the breeze does not usually make its way into the car through the window at all. “It’s just a quick trip in the store” It only takes seconds

for the internal temperatures of a car to rise in these hot summer days specially if the car is in direct sunlight. “I parked it in the shade” Even in shade cars can quickly obtain high internal temperatures. Ideally a dogs’ temperature should be between 37-39 degrees Celsius but in a hot car they can easily end up having a body temperature of 41 degrees Celsius. Leaving your dog in a parked car on hot summer day is not something you should ever risk, all you are doing is leaving he or she alone, scared and very hot. Remember if your furry companion can’t come in to the building with you then it is best to leave him or her at home where the air conditioning is!

A large crowd was attracted to the final game between the Southeast and Watrous. The tournament, which was hosted by Redvers was said to be extremely well run.

T & T Oilfield Services SE Bandits compete at U16B Provincials Submitted Over the past weekend, July 7 – 9, the South East Bandits U16B Girls fast-pitch team attended provincials in Moose Jaw attempting to win a provincial title for the area and qualify for the 2017 Western Canadian Championships in Brandon, Manitoba this upcoming August. The Bandits started off the tournament with a 5 – 1 win over the Battleford Bandits Friday afternoon, followed up with 16 – 7 win against the Parkland Predators. On Saturday, the Bandits faced off against the Melville Mils with a 10 – 3 win to run their record to 3 – 0 . The Bandits then wrapped up round robin play with a decisive 16 - 3 win in only 3 ½ innings over the Saskatoon Lasers to win their respective pool with a 4 – 0 record qualifying them for Sunday’s playoff rounds.

During round robin play, not only were the bats alive, but the team showed very solid defense throughout the four game, received some quality pitching and strong team attitude and confidence. Sunday’s first playoff game against Assiniboia was not to be the same as the first four games although the team received quality pitching and timely hitting, the defense had lapses at inopportune moments allowing the teams to score runs that the Bandits kept coming back to tie but in the end proved too costly and dropped the game 7 – 5 . The Bandits then had to play their second playoff game which was now an elimination game versus the Moose Jaw Ice. The game started out well with some solid pitching, hitting and defense and allowed the Bandits to jump out to

Moose Jaw had a late 2 out rally and scored 3 more runs with 2 outs due to defensive lapses making the game 5 – 4 Bandits going into the 7th inning. The Bandits scored 1 run in the top of the 7th to increase their lead but in the bottom of the 7th Moose Jaw fought back to tie the game at 6 – 6 and send it into extra innings.

Cornerstone Cruisers Show N’ Shine attracts crowd Kelly Running Observer Staff

The 4th Annual Cornerstone Cruisers Show N’ Shine was hosted on Saturday, July 8, at the beach parking lot of Moose Mountain Provincial Park. The car show was hosted from 11 a.m.

to 5 p.m. and at approximately 1 p.m. Kevin Wilson exclaimed, “We have 176 entries so far and we’re still adding more as they continue to come in for the day. There’s lots of diversity this year and a lot of rat rods, which have become quite popular lately. We’ve

also got farm machinery here and are trying to get a little more interest in that too.” This year’s engine giveaway by the Cornerstone Cruisers was a Ford 289 Customized with 300 horse power. The engine was going a couple of times throughout the day

Travis Venner of Manor was turning heads with a unique entry at the Cornerstone Cruisers Show N’ Shine held on Saturday, July 8, at the beach parking lot of Moose Mountain Provincial Park.

which Wilson says was a highlight. The day say various door prizes and draws made for free gear, while they also presented Participants Choice – Truck, Car, Bike; People’s Choice –Truck, Car, Bike; Youngest Participant; Oldest Participant;

Longest Distance; and Kid’s Choice. Music from the 50s and 60s was enjoyed throughout the day, while a concession was also held. The Cornerstone Cruisers enjoy being able to bring a car show of such calibre to the local area; but, they

are also committed to more. They continue to donate towards STARS and they have a $500 scholarship that they award to a graduating individual from the southeast. This year Brandon Benner was the recipient of the Cornerstone Cruisers scholarship.

Over 175 cars were entered throughout the day during the 4th Annual Cornerstone Cruisers Show N’ Shine on Saturday, July 8. Cars varied in make and model, and this year a corner of the parking lot was dedicated to agricultural equipment.

SGI sues bars who served alcohol to Catherine McKay SGI filed a statement of claim in Saskatoon Court of Queen’s Bench today against two Saskatoon liquor establishments that served Catherine McKay Jan. 2-3, 2016. Information relayed in McKay’s criminal proceedings revealed

she had been served alcohol at both Industrial Kitchen & Bar and Crackers Licensed Cocktail & Dining Room that night. Court heard evidence that McKay’s blood alcohol concentration was nearly three times the legal limit

when the vehicle she was driving collided with the car carrying four members of the Van de Vorst family Jan. 3, 2016. Jordan and Chanda Van de Vorst died at the scene. Their son Miguire, 2, died in hospital shortly thereafter, while their

daughter Kamryn, 5, died the next day. “This legal action is about accountability for a collision that killed an entire family. The person who chooses to drive impaired clearly is accountable for their actions. But we need to recognize

that if a person is impaired, their judgment is also impaired. Those around them need to take action to ensure no lives are put at risk,” said Earl Cameron, Executive Vice-President of SGI. “When a business is selling alcohol for

profit, there is a higher degree of responsibility to prevent the customers they serve from posing a danger to others and themselves. Because no one stopped Catherine McKay from getting behind the wheel, four people died.”

Province Covers drugs for treatment of alcohol use disorder People in Saskatchewan who need support to address problematic alcohol use now have access to another form of treatment. Effective July 1, The Saskatchewan Prescription Drug Plan provides coverage for two drug products for the treatment of alcohol use disorder: Revia (naltrexone) and Campral (acamprosate). “Our government is committed to providing services to help people struggling with addictions,” Health Minister Jim Reiter said. “These products are an important addition to the continuum of alcohol treatment services offered

throughout Saskatchewan.” Both drugs are used as part of an alcohol counselling program. Naltrexone is used to take away the cravings for alcohol. Acamprosate is used to maintain abstinence from alcohol in clients who have already stopped drinking. In 2015-16, there were more than 30,000 admissions to addictions services. These drugs complement the range of other provincially-funded alcohol and drug services including: • Outreach services; • Outpatient treatment in more than 50

centres; • Detoxification; • Inpatient treatment; • Long-term residential services; and • Day treatment. Saskatchewan has also recently expanded access to brief detox programming in Prince Albert, Saskatoon and Regina. The addition of these drugs to the formulary supports the Mental Health and Addictions Action Plan recommendations with a particular focus around the support that primary health care providers offer to individuals with mental health and addictions issues, and reducing harm associat-

ed with alcohol misuse. The Saskatchewan formulary currently lists more than 5,400 drug products as benefits under the Drug Plan. Since 2007, the Government of Saskatchewan has increased funding to the Drug Plan by approximately $49 million or 15 per cent.

Theft A truck was stolen from Arcola and is under investigation. Uttering threats An individual reported someone uttering threats towards them, but this was determined to be unfounded.

Saskatchewan’s Cyclotron cuts wait times in province and provides back-up services for Alberta patients The Saskatchewan Centre for Cyclotron Sciences (Cyclotron), which produces radioisotopes, has reduced wait times to one week for patients in the province requiring PET-CT scans. This information was announced by Premier Brad Wall today at an event at the Cyclotron in Saskatoon. Located in the University of Saskatchewan and operated by the Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation (Fedoruk Centre), the Cyclotron began producing and supplying radioisotopes to Saskatoon’s Royal University Hospital in June 2016. As well, it is currently serving as a back-up supplier to Calgary’s Foothills Medical Centre, to help provide patients in that city with the medical scans they need while Alberta’s regular supplier undergoes scheduled maintenance. This establishes a relationship for additional supply support as future needs may arise.

“Our government has re-established signiﬁcant support for nuclear research and development as part of our growth plan, including a $19.4 million capital commitment to build the Saskatchewan Centre for Cyclotron Sciences,” Wall said. “That investment is not only advancing the cause of innovation and science, it is bringing about real improvements in quality of life in Saskatchewan. With a secure supply of locally-produced medical isotopes in place, wait times for PET-CT scans have been reduced signiﬁcantly. Critically ill patients are getting the care they need faster. The Cyclotron is helping to make life better in Saskatchewan.” The Cyclotron is a powerful tool that helps researchers understand diseases better, showing how they develop, how well treatment is working and leading to new treatments. PETCT service, which began at the Royal University

Hospital in 2013-14, is benefitting greatly from the local supply of radioisotopes in servicing its approximately 2,100 patients per year. It is estimated that about 65 patients in Calgary will be able to have scans done during this back-up period. “Everyone is really excited about supplying to Calgary in addition to providing radioisotopes to Royal University Hospital,” Cyclotron Facility Manager Ghislain Boudreault said. “Because of where we are located and our capacity, we can supply to hospitals in western Canada. We can help patients, not just in Saskatchewan but also in Alberta.” The Saskatchewan Centre for Cyclotron Sciences is the province’s first cyclotron and radioisotope facility. Its construction was funded by the Government of Saskatchewan (through Innovation Saskatchewan), Western Economic Diversification Canada and the Fedoruk Centre.

Alida News Submitted by Edel Cowan

Spending a week’s holiday with Richie and Rosamund Barber, at the end of June and beginning of July, were their daughter, Charlene and granddaughter Kaylie Ranches from Raceland, Louisiana as well as their son, Larry, his wife Marcy and family of Cold Lake, AB. On July 1 we (Gray and I) took in the parade at Redvers where we saw granddaughter Ainsley participate on the Day Care float, and Dale Anthony with his John Deere tractor. We also visited with Gray’s cousin Carol (Cowan) Harrison from BC and of course with Joyce and Jackie George before heading off to Moose Creek Regional Park. While at the dam we visited with Tim, Shelly and Ainsley as well with Murray and Fiona Cowan (Estevan) and helped Tim finish up building his deck. Then on Sunday, July 2 we attended the Red Barn near Kenosee Lake met up with Joyce, Jackie George (Redvers) and Carol Harrison – all had a great time visiting and listening to the music. We later had supper out with friends before returning home to Alida. The Junk family enjoyed a week of holidaying in Ontario. Gary, Brenda, Jason, April, Ethan, Adrianna and Ayden flew to Hamilton, ON where they met up with Jody, Jill, Jaxon, Jace, Kara and Morgan (all from Sylvan Lake). They toured Niagara Falls and Marine Land, then went on to Toronto where they again did some more touring and attended three Blue Jay ball games. They returned home on Monday July 3 reporting that everyone had a great time. Margaret Peet accompanied her daughter Pati Monchenko and girls Claire and Alice of Estevan. They travelled to Viking AB where they visited with daughter/sister Joleen, Paul Hoffman and boys Colin and Cole. Everyone enjoyed a trip to the Drumheller and the Dinosaur Park. On way home Margaret stopped to visit her mother Claire Germain and sister Pauline Craggs in Regina before returning to Alida on July 6. On July 5 Alida was in the News and on the National news as well – finally the nation heard that there is a western side to the country,

not that it was pleasant information. A tornado hit our area and it had destroyed Brenda Lemieux’s house. Thankfully no one was hurt. The community is devastated to hear of this loss – our thoughts, prayers and moral support goes out to her and her family. There was also much hail damage done in the area from this storm. On Sunday, July 9 we (Gray and I) visited at the Cowan camper at the dam and met up with family (Tim, Shelly, Ainsley, Kelsey, Murray, Dustin, Jeff, Joyce and Jackie) and friends (Melynda, Lily and Amy, Kris Potapinski, Brenda and Gary Junk). Enjoyed the day boating while some tried their luck at fishing, kids enjoyed tubeing – it was so nice and cool on the water. Then everyone enjoyed a fishfry and oodles and oodles of delicious food – even three birthday cakes. I know that a birthday means getting older but three cakes?? Ha ha – what a surprise – I enjoyed and appreciated every minute (I’m not counting anymore). Noticed a big change coming to the Observer - hopefully it is for the best, but I for one will really miss the articles that our local gals wrote. One could relate to them whether it was from bygone memo-

ries or present day happenings and there was usually something funny happening. Not only did Redvers lose their paper (which I understand couldn’t be helped, so it was amalgamated with the Observer – thank goodness and I’m sure that was for the best) but now we’re losing a great ‘story teller’ contributor as well. Personally I’d sooner read about her experiences (as I can deﬁnitely relate to most of them) or hear about every day happenings, which were usually comical in day to day antics, and again can be related to. This laughter is surely going to be missed. I’d much sooner read something like that instead of boring old government happenings or not happening (which truthfully I skip over anyway). Sorry – but I had to state how I felt – hopefully they can contribute once in a while or maybe, just maybe the articles can make a comeback. Thanks for reading and listening to my beef. Remember folks to let me know about your company and happenings – either call me (306-443-2496) or text (306-485-8561) or email (g.cowan@sasktel. net) – do appreciate your help. Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and Take care.

Aloha! The Stoughton Meat Market & Family Foods brought in summer style during the Stoughton Daze parade on Saturday, July 8.

New Hope Pharmacy’s Chelsea Schindel waves to the crowd during the parade.

On Sunday, July 9, the New Hope Horse Club hosted their annual horse show, which saw over 30 entries, including seven in the jumping which is the most they’ve had in that category. Here some of the costumed entries are judged.

A parade in southeast Saskatchewan isn’t complete without kids and their horses. These ones have started young.

Stoughton Daze knocked it out of the park again. Here the annual slow-pitch tournament is well underway.

Fun was had for all during Stoughton Daze. Here youth get to experience zorbing, as they run and flip and roll around.

To end the day the 4-H members, parents, leaders and steer buyers enjoyed a tailgate BBQ that was sponsored by 3M Beef Supplies from Moosomin. Moose Mountain Meats and Hebert Livestock Ventures of Wawota donated the burgers and Whitewood Livestock supplied the BBQ. Congratulations to all of the members on a great day and thanks to everyone who made this day possible. 4-H is a great program that teaches leadership, dedication and hard work to its members and leaves them with the tools to become great community leaders. Without the dedication of the leaders and volunteers, and without the support of the steer buyers and sponsors, this show would not be possible, and these young members would not have the chance to complete their projects and showcase all of their hard work.

Submitted by Myrna Olson

Morley and Joan Hamilton enjoyed a trip to Eastern Canada recently. They attended a family wedding in Russell, ON. They also visited with some of Morley’s Hamilton cousins that he hadn’t seen for some time. Happy Birthday to Ruth Holmstrom on her 88th birthday! The family held a surprise party at the Wilson Residence at Kenosee Lake. Twenty-eight family members attended. Family members and several friends travelled to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho last week to attend the wedding of Brooks Laich and Julianne

Hough. Two hundred enjoyed the outdoor wedding there. Keith and Edna Bratvold from Swift Current stopped in last Friday to visit with Keith and Myrna Olson. They are friends from the 60’s when Keith worked for the Pool Elevator in Cadillac. They were on their way to the Peace Gardens and had stopped in Redvers to visit Keith’s cousin. What a pleasant surprise. Welcome back to Robert and Ashley Mitchell and family. They are renting the Jeﬀ Howe home on West Railway. Ashley will be resum-

ing her teaching duties after a year of maternity leave. So many books, so little time. I had no request books in last week so browsed the shelves at the Library and picked up a book called, “Into a Raging Blaze” by Andreas Norman. It was his ﬁrst novel and along the line of John le Carre’s spy stories. Although I am a John le Carre fan , I found ,”Into a Raging Blaze” much easier to follow and really enjoyed it. Andreas worked for the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs for 10 years working on security issues and counter-terrorism.

Kennedy/Langbank News Submitted by Connie Schwalm There are a variety of ways that communities are marking Canada’s 150th Year. Celebrations such as parades and fairs all have their merits. However, in Kennedy there is a quieter type of “event” taking place - one that will have a growing impact on the community for years to come. As Alan Daku explains: “A group of us were talking about the different sorts of ‘Canada 150’ projects that might work in Kennedy. There were a lot of really good ideas brought forward. But, we were all looking at the fact that generally these events happen and then it’s all done and the event is forgotten. We really wanted to do something that would create a lasting benefit for the community.” “I thought that it would be nice to plant a shelter-belt of trees and let them grow and mature into something really unique for Kennedy.” Alan notes, that the trees will benefit the community in at least two different ways. “The plan is to plant about 30 – 40 trees altogether. The trees will be planted in three rows. So this will be primarily a shelterbelt. We’re planting them in the open area just in front

of the rink with the hope that they will help to cut down on the amount of snow that builds up at that intersection right at the end of Main Street. As well, the front row of trees will be fruit trees. So, this will provide the community with fruit to enjoy.” There will also be an interesting variety of trees planted. “The ‘backbone’ for the shelter-belt will be evergreens,” Alan says. “But, there will be poplars planted too, because they will grow up fast and provide some ‘substance’. We’re planning to put in some ﬂowering trees, such as Mountain Ash, along with perhaps some ﬂowering plum and crab-apple. I’ve ordered some unique things as well...such as some spruce trees from the Amur region of Northeast Asia (which includes northern China and Korea).” Alan was already out doing some planting this past week. However, there is much more to be done. Anybody that would like to help out is asked to contact Alan. As well, Alan says that, “If anybody would like to donate trees or arrange to have trees planted in somebody’s memory...we’re certainly open to that.” The addition to the library is now completed. Residents are invited to

come out and see the new space at a Family Fun Night. Families will also have the chance to spend time together playing with Ozobot (small programmable robots) and Cublets (miniature robots). Jennie Wilton enjoyed having her two sisters, Gerrie Hedley from Lamont, AB and Trudy Morrison from Calgary, here to visit over the long weekend. Jennie also went up to Regina on Friday, July 7 to attend the wedding of Michael and Terry Matties. As well, the rodeo grounds in Kennedy were quite busy last weekend. A Barrel-Racing Jackpot Show organized by Hannah Miller of Kipling brought riders in from as far away as Manitoba to take part. Congratulations to Hannah and her family and friends for holding the ﬁrst of what will hopefully become another yearly event in Kennedy. That’s about all I have for you this week. (I haven’t had any phone calls for a few days. Here’s hoping that is because all of you were just TOO busy celebrating Canada’s birthday and enjoying the weather. Feel free to give me a call at 306-495-8888 and let me know if you have some news you’d like to share!)

July 10-14 is Child and Youth in Care Week in Saskatchewan July 10-14 has been officially proclaimed as Child and Youth in Care Week in Saskatchewan. “Child and Youth in Care Week is a wonderful opportunity for everyone in Saskatchewan to let children and youth who have been in care know that their experiences and knowledge is valuable,” Social Services Minister Tina Beaudry-Mellor said. “This week also recognizes our partner, the Saskatchewan Youth in Care and Custody Network, for all the amazing work they do throughout the year to provide a voice for children and youth either in or from care, along with connection and support.” The Saskatchewan Youth in Care and Custody Network (SYICCN) is a non-profit, community-based organization that supports and serves youth who are 14-24 years old, and are in or from government care. Through workshops, speaking panels,

youth-run projects and recreational activities, the organization educates and encourages children and youth in care to assume positive roles in their lives and communities. “Child and Youth in Care Week is about removing the stigma of being from care, and instead highlighting and celebrating the capacity, resilience and achievements of young people from care,” Saskatchewan Youth in Care and Custody Network Executive Director Stephanie Bustamante said. “Recognizing the capabilities and strengths of young people from care is paramount to ensuring that our voices, experiences and rights are valued in our province and throughout our care.” The idea for Child and Youth in Care Week came from a group of young people attending one of the organization’s workshops. The group created postcards, artwork, poetry and a collection of letters requesting gov-

Tuesday, June 27th, the Bellegarde Francophone community held its traditional St Jean Baptist Celebration. This year, in celebration of Canada’s 150th, there was cake and the launching of their new bilingual historical magazines that celebrate Bellegarde’s history from 1898 to today. These are also available online at www.acfbellegarde. com. About 125 people attended throughout the festivities that ran all evening. Participants enjoyed a Bar-B-Q supper provided by a local

youth group fundraising for a trip to Québec. Local artists came out to volunteer their time, either face painting or making tattoos. We saw, Amber Sylvestre, Chylisse Marchand, and Avery Cosgrove. The local Francophone community hosted a bouncy castle and games for the kids. The Provincial Francophone Youth Association (AJF) came out with their human soccer balls to entertain the crowd. Everyone had a blast! To close out the evening, a camp fire and fireworks sponsored by

Celebrate Canada were enjoyed by all. Tanya Reimer, director of the French Community Centre in Bellegarde says that it was an evening full of activities that the entire family could enjoy. It was also a wonderful opportunity to get together among friends and chat around the ﬁre. This event was organized by l’association communautaire francophone de Bellegarde and their partners, l’École de Bellegarde, the youth group Voyage Québec, l’association jeunesse fransaskoise, and Celebrate Canada.
