Lorna Tinio came to Carlyle from the Philippines and she brought her passion for volleyball with her. Tinio has started a women’s volleyball team-the Carlyle Lady Bombers-and has already hosted a local tournament for Filipino women, which she hopes to expand next year to include area communities. “Volleyball is big in the Philippines,” says Tinio. “And for Filipino women here, it’s a chance to stay fit, to socialize and to have fun while we meet each other.” Read next week’s Observer for more.

Arcola School offering new programing Kelly Running Observer Staff

Staff photo by Kelly Running

Jordan Ethier has joined the Arcola School staff for the semester as an intern from the University of Regina.

Arcola School welcomes 233 students this year and two new teachers: Janelle Scherle and Jordan Ethier.

Scherle, originally from White City, is in her third year of teaching. She spent her first two at Gordon F. Kells in Carlyle where she taught in a high school setting. Now she is taking on the grade 4/5 in Arcola and is excited to be teaching elementary students.

“I always wanted to teach,” she explained. “I really wanted to work with kids and I really liked school growing up. I’m excited to help maintain a positive school setting.”

“I’m also really excited to be coaching cross country this year, which is going to start soon.”

Ethier is a first year Education student, although he has completed four years of academics prior to entering Education. Originally he wanted to become a professor, but discovered his passion was in teaching high school.

“I wanted to be in a classroom because I love working with people when it’s their first experience of a subject, so during those formative years of education,” he said. “I’m genuinely excited to be where I should be, in a classroom with grades 10, 11, and 12.”

“I’m also excited for the opportunity to teach grade 2 math because it will offer a different aspect of teaching.”

Ethier will begin with teaching History 20, then will take on English 20, English 10, Social Studies 7/8, and grade 2 Math.

Overall Principal Ron Wardrope says he and his staff are excited for the year, which will bring in new programming. A leadership class has been added to the high school curriculum as an elective.

Teacher Carlee Annis will facilitate the new class: “The grades 11 and 12 students are taking it this semester, while grade 10 will take it next semester. For the grade 12 class we will focus on learning different political structures, what makes a good leader, developing intrinsic motivation, and finding ways to make our community better.”

Janelle Scherle has joined the Arcola School staff as the grade 4/5 teacher. Scherle has come to Arcola from Gordon F. Kells High School and is excited to teach in the elementary end.

“They will develop and run their own programs in the community based on what they think needs are in Arcola. So, they will develop an idea and put it into action.”

Next semester the grade 10s will do something similar, but they will focus on the school community instead of the larger community. Additionally students must fulfill 40-volunteer hours in conjunction with the class.

Manor School is welcoming 82 students this year and two new teachers.

The new teachers are Moira Grayson and Nancy Parker.

Grayson is taking over a maternity leave at the school for Michelle Cundall. Her teaching will involve grade 7/8 English Language Arts (ELA), grade 9/10 ELA, grade 11/12 ELA, grade 12 History, grade 8/9 Art, and Food Studies 10.

Grayson is in her 23rd year of teaching, with 19 of them spent in Estevan, and the last three spent in the area.

“I’m really enjoying the atmosphere of this school,” she said.

“The staff have been wonderful and friendly, very helpful. I’m really enjoying meeting the kids as well.”

Nancy Parker is taking over elementary teaching for Kindergarten, grade 1, and grade 2.

Parker has been teaching for 15 years and is excited to be a full-time teacher in Manor after subbing last year.

Parker has taught in Ontario, Nova Scotia,

Newfoundland, and now Saskatchewan.

“We moved here last August and I found sub work in the area,” Parker explained. “It’s lovely here; I like it a lot. It’s very different I learned from subbing last year because as soon as I walked in it felt like a family as opposed to a school. I’m really excited to spend time with these kids, we’re going to have a lot of fun and adventure. It will be a good year.”

Principal Kelly Logan explained that their main focuses this year include student engagement and well-

ness, which will involve Kindie to grade 12 students working in a mentorship program.

An elementary student will be paired with a high school student and they will eat lunch together once a week, do activities together, and even go on a small field trip. If a student participates in this every year they will be eligible for a $500 scholarship.

Additional plans at the school include monthly assemblies to recognize and celebrate students’ accomplishments, while they have two main academic goals: math and writing.

Drawn To Broadway: Sydney Flynn’s

Summer On Stage Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Carlyle’s Sydney Flynn was “Drawn To Broadway” this summer after successfully auditioning for the Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) performing arts camp of the same name in Rollins, Montana. Flynn, 14, joined young performers from throughout Western Canada and the U.S., as they participated in a two-week program which focused primarily on two musical theatre elements-vocal performance and dance.

Flynn-already a veteran performer- has appeared in Carlyle’s annual Dickens Festival productions, Carlyle school Junior Drama Club performances, and has competed in regional drama festivals. She says her summers at MCT camps have increased her confidence on stage and off, adding: “It’s a really encouraging atmosphere there. We’re all working toward a common goal and helping each other succeed-and learning a lot.”

Flynn has attended MCT’s camps since she was eleven. She was first invited to audition for a coveted spot at the camp after being spotted during MCT’s annual visit to schools in Carlyle conducting drama workshops.

“The first time, I was invited to audition,” she says. “I had to do a two-minute song, a monologue and bring two letters of recommendation. The second year, I was invited back without having to audition and this year, I had to audition again.”

This year, I did a monologue and sang ‘Don’t Rain on My Parade.’ I just used piano accompaniment from my iPad. Musicals are one of my favourite things and this year’s camp focused a lot on Broadway, so I learned a lot and had fun doing that. But I always do at camp.”

Flynn’s interest in drama and performance “started in Grade One. MCT came to school here in Carlyle and I had a lot of fun,” she says. “After a few years on stage, one year, I decided to be in the audience because I wanted to find out what that felt like. But I soon realized, I wanted to be on stage, performing.”

“When I was a little kid, Linda Coffey asked my mom if I could be in the Dickens play that’s put on every year here in Carlyle. I went and I’ve been in a few since then,” she smiles. “I really like being

onstage.”

Along with Carlyle’s Linda Coffey, Flynn credits local teachers Thomas Broccolo and Justine Kyle for fostering her interest in dramatic performance. “With Drama Club, Mr. Broccolo and Mrs. Kyle always help us pick plays. We look at scripts together and they work with us through every step. They’re really helpful and encouraging.”

“With our school’s drama program-and with things like Missoula Children’s Theatre coming here every year-I really encourage anyone who’s interested to come and do drama.

With the lights, you really can’t see anybody in the audience and with performing, my confidence grew.”

“Every time I go onstage, I still get butterflies. But that’s pretty common, and partly because of excitement, too. And when the audience appreciates what you’ve done, that’s a great feeling.”

“It’s the same with festivals, when there’s an adjudicator there instead of an audience.

They’re there taking notes about the whole cast,” she says. “But with the lights, you don’t really see them. It can seem stressful, but it really isn’t, because they give you better ideas and you always learn something new.”

Flynn says that even something that seems like an unfixable error can have a positive side, citing the example of a flawed performance during a drama competition.

“During a performance in front of the adjudicator, someone slipped and the performers lost pages of their lines. They recovered, and even then, the adjudicator said it was the best recovery by a junior group he’s ever seen.”

“Working your way through things like that and even performing on different stages in different places helps you to adapt and just roll with whatever,” says Flynn. “It’s not just getting up in front of people and performing, it’s also things like taking the same show to a different stage. In Carlyle, we’ve performed on the CES gym stage and in the (Carlyle) Memorial Hall. And this year in Montana, we rehearsed our final performancesongs from the musical ‘Annie’ and took our show to Missoula.”

“It was a bigger stage with different levels. We had to re-do our settings and marks, everything,” adds Flynn. “But it helps you to adapt to different situations and know that whatever comes up, you can do your best to handle it.”

Flynn-who is considering a career in pediatric nursing-says she plans to continue working with MCT “for as long as I can.”

“I really want to continue with drama through high school,” says Flynn, who is entering Grade Nine this year. “And I’d really like to thank my family a lot. They got me to camp, to performances, and they’ve really supported me.”

“I want to go back to camp at MCT next year and I can continue to do that until the summer of Grade 12,” she says. “This will be my last year to do Missoula here in Carlyle, but I’ll continue to go to their performances here.”

“It’s given me so much.”

Fourteen-year-old Sydney Flynn of Carlyle has attended performing arts camps hosted by Missoula Children’s Theatre since she was eleven. She was first invited to audition for a coveted spot at the camp when she was eleven years-old and says: “The camps give you more confidence on stage and they really work with you. You’re not judged; you’re encouraged to do better and better.”

A new school year at CES Kelly Running Observer Staff

Carlyle Elementary School is welcoming 252 new students between pre-Kindergarten and grade 6.

“We are up about 30 kids from last year,” Principal Tyler Fehrenbach explained. “We’re looking forward to the New Year.”

Right now the school’s goals are to continue providing quality education and a fun, safe place for youth to enjoy.

This year they welcome three new members to their staff including Karla Ilchuk, Kathy Tomaszewski, and Jordyn Harcourt.

Ilchuk is new to Carlyle Elementary School, although not new to the area as she has been teaching in Arcola for the past four years. Ilchuk will continue working in Arcola as their pre-K teacher.

She will spend her mornings in Carlyle and her afternoons in Arcola.

“I’m looking forward to getting to know the students and parents,” Ilchuk said.

Tomaszewski is taking on the role of Community Education Liaison for the semester. She is focused on the nutrition program in the school, facilitates relationships between the school and the community, works alongside Cornerstone Family and Youth, and is in charge of searching for grants available to the school.

She had worked as an Educational Assistant in Carlyle and Manor, so this is a new role for her, which she is excited about: “It’s a new position, which comes with new challenges. I really like that I will get to be interacting with families and the community as well as the students.”

Finally, Harcourt is new to the school as an intern in Sherry Zacharias’ grade 4 class. Harcourt is originally from Kipling and is going to school at the University of Regina where she’s focusing on elementary education.

Harcourt will be at the school until December and says she’s very excited about the opportunity to teach in Carlyle.

“I’m really excited to teach, we talk about teaching in the classes I take, and now I get to be in the classroom teaching,” she exclaimed.

Kathy Tomaszewski is working at Carlyle Elementary School as this semester’s Community Education Liaison.

Jordyn Harcourt is in her fourth year of Education at the University of Regina and is completing an internship in the grade 4 class at Carlyle Elementary School.

Karla Ilchuk, who has been teaching pre-K in Arcola for the past four years, will be teaching pre-K at Carlyle Elementary School in the morning and then is back to Arcola in the afternoons for their pre-K program.

New initiatives at Gordon F. Kells Kelly Running Observer Staff

Gordon F. Kells was surprised to discover 209 students had registered for the year; a substantial increase from the expected 185 students.

Principal Maurice Saltel explained that their school has a variety of goals this year.

“We’re looking to further improve our math scores, we also want to increase our reading scores, and we’re looking to improve attendance rates at the school.”

“We’re also wanting to increase the rate at which we make positive contacts with parents.

There’s so many great

things that happen at our school and the tendency is to only communicate with a parent if there is a problem.

So, we want to communicate when things are going right. I think this is a very worthwhile endeavor.”

Saltel is also very excited that they have

all returning staff: “It’s nice to have the same staff continuing on. It offers stability within the school.”

The school is also looking forward to new programming this year in the form of Power Engineering courses.

“Carlyle is a central location, so kids

from other schools will be able to come here,” Saltel said. “We live in an area where trades are important and the sooner we can get kids looking at those skills the better. We’re even going to have grade 12 students apprenticing, which will help them out of school.”

WBEC welcomes new teachers and hosts traditional flag raising Kelly Running Observer Staff

White Bear Education Complex (WBEC) hosted a traditional flag raising ceremony to mark the beginning of the new school year on, Tuesday, Sept. 13. Students, staff, family members, elders, representatives from council, all stood outside, surrounding the three flag poles in front of the school, where the Treaty Four flag, Treaty Four flag, and Canadian flag were raised.

One of the school elders, Josh Kakakeway, said a prayer in Cree after the flags were smudged. Kakakeway also stated that the ceremony is a way to “Remember those that came before us.”

The three flags raised are the White Bear First Nation flag, the Treaty Four flag, and the Canadian flag. The prayer by School Elder Kakakeway was delivered in the Cree language. Educational Assistant, Bucky Strongeagle, stood with the Eagle Staff as the flag raising ceremony was completed. The four feathers on the Eagle Staff represents the connection of First Nations people to the Creator through the eagle, the staff is the connection to Mother Earth, and the colours of the ribbons are the sacred ceremonial colours of red, white, blue, and yellow.

Two songs are performed by traditional drummers during the ritual: the Flag Song and the Victory Song (during which participants dance to enter a new school year in celebration). At the end of the ceremony, every student and staff member shakes hands with the chief and the elders.

Principal Sheri McArthur-Cappo says she’s looking forward to the school year, “I’m excited for all of our cultural programming we will be incorporating. We will also be working to develop selfesteem and self-respect within our students; I want each and every student to be comfortable with who they are.”

White Bear Education Complex also welcomes two new teachers and a new educational assistant.

Teachers include Raelynne Bird in high school sciences and Ashley Pennington as the new preKindergarten and Kindergarten teacher. Bucky Strongeagle has taken on the educational assistant position for one year as it is a maternity leave.

Bird is in her second year of teaching and is excited to be at WBEC: “I’m excited to see the southern winter festivals, I’ve seen northern ones, so I’m excited to see how the south do theirs. I’m really excited to teach here because the kids are great and my classroom is awesome. I’m also really excited about the cultural aspect here and having it in the class, it’s really cool.”

Pennington is in her fifth year of teaching and is excited to be working at WBEC. She is the preKindergarten and Kindergarten teacher, which means learning comes through exploring and as a teacher she can make learning moments from many different aspects of the classroom. She too is looking forward to the school year.

“I’m excited to be here and I’m excited to try new things in my classroom this year,” Pennington said.

Strongeagle, the new education assistant, says he is excited to take on the position and is particularly looking forward to coaching this year: “I’ve helped with day camps that White Bear has had in the past, so I knew I liked working with youth. And the main thing I’m looking forward to is coaching the boys basketball and volleyball this year.”

Quote of the Week . . .

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”

- Confucius

Always be learning

Kelly Running Observer Staff

It’s volleyball season once again and this actually marks my 13th month of playing/ coaching volleyball. I’m not really sure how it turned into a full year and now going onto school season and club season, but it did. And to be honest I couldn’t be happier.

Sure, I’m a little tired, but at the end of the day I absolutely love volleyball: playing, coaching, and watching. It’s a

great sport.

The Sask Summer Games were a fantastic experience and it showed the amount of young skill and work ethic in the area, while also showed me that there are lots of great coaches. Those girls had a great foundation before coming to the Team Southeast training, which is what helped them find their way onto the team in the first place. But from there they learned and grew even further. It was a lot of fun to be a part of.

Then volleyball camps in August in Arcola, and now here we are, me excitedly and impatiently waiting to get to junior girls practice after school. Each type of volleyball comes with a different feel and they’re all fun in their own different ways.

In school, where I coach anyways, anyone that wants to play in junior ball can… four years ago I had 22 kids, so I split them into two teams and had my teacher helper coach one if we were playing against each other at a tournament. This year I have 10. That’s a bit better of a number as a coach because it means I can give more time to each athlete and they get more contacts on the ball.

Although I’m personally competitive, someone the other day said that this was a recent discovery for them. They had never really noticed just how competitive I am while I’m coaching along the sidelines. But, when it comes to the school team, my biggest focus is on development.

I’m not tied up in the wins and losses, although winning is fun, if their best effort was put into the game and they improved, then it’s a success in my books.

Being the head coach is in itself a little different than what I normally do as an assistant coach, so I really love being part of the junior program at Arcola School for this reason. It’s a slightly different aspect to the game than being an assistant and it’s a great learning experience for me as well. After assistant coaching for various people I have my own opinions and thoughts on how to operate a team; this allows me to do that. And it allows me to better myself for other teams coming up because – I’m not sure who said it first but – “if you’re through learning, you’re through.”

There’s always something new, always a way something can be seen differently. Whether that’s coaching volleyball, playing some other sport, or in life in general it’s always important to keep learning. To keep an open mind and learn, ask questions, make mistakes and analyze why it went wrong to avoid it in the future.

There’s a ton of knowledge in the world. I know I only have a snippet of it, so why wouldn’t I continue to learn. To me it doesn’t really matter what you’re focusing on, but it’s important to challenge yourself and learn every day.

Is it really a disaster... really?

I was standing in the church preparing for my wedding. Except things weren’t as they should be. The best man was wearing a colorful sweater with weird geometric patterns instead of the tuxedo he had been fitted for, and there were two fully decorated Christmas trees up at the front even though our wedding was in September. Before I could obShelley Luedtke serve anything further…I woke up…from an initially upsetting, but oddly funny dream.

I don’t recall many of my dreams but a handful do stand out.

Most memorable are the ones that fall into the category of nightmare, a dream so unpleasant it can unleash strong responses of despair, anxiety and fear. They can become serious disruptors to sleep and state of mind. For some sufferers, medical and psychological treatment has to be obtained. Which is what made me shake my head when I heard a mother in speaking to a reporter describe an end-of-summer school supply shopping trip as “an absolute nightmare.”

We knew what she meant. Crowded aisles, frustrated parents, tired children, long lists and tight budgets can combine to make a less than enjoyable shopping experience; but does that qualify it as a nightmare?

Novelist, theologian and lecturer C.S. Lewis said, “Don’t use words too big for the subject.

Don’t say infinitely when you mean very; otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.” Lewis has a point. If we describe something as a nightmare that is at best frustrating, costly or annoying, what word would we use when we really do encounter a nightmare scenario? We have nowhere

facebook.com/carlyleobserver @CarlyleObserver

Kelly Running Editor Reporter/Photographer Office: 306-453-2525 Fax: 306-453-2938 observer@sasktel.net

to go with that because we have now diminished the power of the word.

Sending a child out the door amidst gunfire that is a daily occurrence is a nightmare. A mother in South Sudan boiling leaves to try and create some sort of meal for her children is a nightmare.

Walking for miles to obtain medical care for a dying loved one is a nightmare.

As we drew close to the 15th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 2001, I saw a piece of video taken by someone standing on the street a few blocks from the towers that day.

Whoever was behind the camera was getting footage of those heading to safety and asking what they had seen or experienced. One man covered in debris looked at the camera operator and breathlessly said, “chaos.” A single word that gave insight into what couldn’t yet be comprehended. But how often had I used that word to describe a situation I had been in--like a children’s birthday party, a busy workplace, or even a parking lot after a huge event. I had unthinkingly used a word denoting bedlam, mayhem and complete disorder to describe something that was simply busy, noisy, crowded and inconvenient.

There are circumstances that lend themselves to hyperbole. So we need to ask ourselves: is this situation really a disaster; truly horrific? We reach for the exaggerations we hope will provide the necessary explanation so others can understand how we felt in that situation. But we need a wake-up call to how we use our words.

For far too many there is little expectation of being woken to find a different scenario. For their sake, as well as our own, we need to ensure our go-to conversation isn’t just a reflection of our impatience or the feeling of being put upon.

Unfortunately there are far too many truly chaotic and nightmarish situations that invade not just dreams, but waking hours. That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

What happened to original?

Kelly Running

Plus ça change and playing it safe Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Observer Staff

It’s something that seems to plague me when I go to watch a new movie or a new television show: remakes. I say plague because although the film or show can still be good, you sit there wondering if Hollywood has any original ideas left or if remakes and reboots are all that’s left for them. I sit there watching and feel as though I’ve seen it before somewhere.

The other weekend I went and watched the new Ghostbusters movie. Back in the day we had the cassette tape of the soundtrack and my sister and I had the theme song memorized. So, of course I was excited that they played the original theme song in the new version of the movie; but, despite liking the new one, it was pretty funny, it didn’t compare to the original.

Why couldn’t it though? Because there’s a certain amount of nostalgia when you watch or do something from your childhood that just simply makes it better. When I was little I was a huge Power Rangers fan and they put out a movie when I was probably about six-years-old, I loved it. We got it on VHS and I’d watch it as much as I could.

Last year I came across the movie on DVD and was stoked, so of course I purchased it and watched it immediately. The special effects were terrible… and yet I loved it. I loved it when I was a kid and that nostalgia meant that as an adult, as ‘90s as the special effects were, I still loved it.

They’re making a new movie based on the original Power Rangers TV show coming out in the next year or so and although I’ll watch it, I already know it won’t compare to my six-year-old excitement for the original.

Looking at movie lineups, however, I’m convinced original ideas no longer exist in the film industry. We’ve got prequels being made for movies from the ‘80s, we’ve got remakes like Jumanji coming out, and then a bunch of superhero movies which have been remade, rebooted, and rebooted again – think Spiderman.

The only time I’ve been happy with any of these was when they decided to put out Scream 4.

Scream was the first scary movie I watched and I would have been fairly young, but I really liked it.

Not for all the killing, but for the humour that was in it for the way they made fun of scary movies in a scary movie. The scary movie rules applied and the main protagonist was a young girl who kicked butt.

I watched all three that were made prior to 2000 and after they were all out on VHS, we watched them every summer in a Scream marathon.

So, of course we were excited for the fourth installation to come out a few years ago. It wasn’t a remake, nor was it a reboot, it was a continuation of these characters that we had followed, just 10 years later. Whoever wrote and directed Scream 4 did a fantastic job though because it brought that nostalgia of when we first watched them together and the following summer marathons up. They had so many little things mirrored in the new film which were straight out of the originals, but warped in a fun house mirror because although familiar, it was different. It was really very well done.

Ultimately though, I just want some original content. I can only watch so many reboots of things, like Spiderman: Toby Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and now Tom Holland. Do something that hasn’t been done before Hollywood!

“Plus ça change” is a French phrase that simply means the more things change, the more they stay the same. It’s often uttered with world-weary resignation and mostly implies that the change in question is merely a superficial one. And this judgement certainly applies to many of Hollywood’s recent- and decidedly non-risky- filmmaking efforts.

When Kelly came to me with the idea of discussing original versus revamped and/or rebooted content, we quickly came to the conclusion that reviewing and revisiting the idea of originals versus remakes is really a matter of personal opinion and is best done on a case by case basis. That is, not all originals are the best version of a film and not all remakes are a pale imitation of the original.

Although original content-and remakes of existing material- is currently created with great success by Netflix, Hulu and other streaming services; Hollywood has been slow to catch up and studios are often accused of playing it safe. Calling films “franchises” and/ or having a number attached to the end of a movie’s title does little-if anything- to dispel this notion.

Studios often rely on their back catalogues in order to create a seemingly endless stream of sequels that run that gamut from horror films to kids’ movies. And of course, movies are also made by adapting content gleaned from books-fiction and non-fiction, stories, comics,

Editor’s Note . . .

TV shows, and even video games.

Aside from the ingrained assumption that working with the tried-and-true is a safer box office bet than taking a flyer on an unknown idea, are remakes-or films sourced from existing material automatically viewed as inferior by audiences and critics? Are Hollywood’s conservative investments in filmmaking producing entertainment that both critics and audiences love to hate?

Well, that depends.

There’s really no way to quantify this question, but a few years ago, the website Metacritic.com gave it a pretty good shot. The website analyzed five years of data for wide-release, mainstream films that debuted during the first part of this decade, statistically measuring both audience and critical responses. The survey measured responses to movies based on entirely original material versus films that were created with existing works in mind. (And of course, I’m simplifying a lot of the data for the sake of space...)

In spite of complaints by moviegoers about watered-down sequels and bad remakes, both the majority of film fans-and surprise, surprise-most of the critics surveyed preferred movies made with recycled material in mind.

The race was close, but still...

However, we all know that our individual responses to anything-but especially to an art form such as film-are as unique as we are. Your clunker might be my classic, and vice-versa.

And statistics or not, that’s another thing that proves plus ça change.

World Cup of Hockey? Canada, of course and the like, the ‘kids’ will likely emerge a fan favourite. In their opening exhibition game, the N.A. ‘Kids’ beat Europe — a team made up of overseas players not from Russia, Sweden, Finland or the Czech Republic — 4-0, prompting Europe coach Ralph Kreuger to say, “We certainly saw a lot of speed from the hop.”

These exhibition tournaments help to pad the bank accounts of the NHL owners and the NHL Players’ Association, but also give hockey fans something to wave the flag about in a non-Olympic year. The world championships every spring are a thirdrate event, because the game’s best are usually competing in the Stanley Cup playoffs at the same time.

If you’re a hockey fan, you’ll be watching. The networks are counting on it. Grab that flag and start waving it.

• TC in BC: “The Oakland Raiders may be moving to Las Vegas.

That sound you just heard is Al Davis rolling over in his grave and saying ‘Just Beat the Spread Baby!’”

• @RandyTurner15 of the Winnipeg Free Press, on Twitter: “After heart-breaking Labour Day Classic loss, dozens of distraught Riders fans jump off tallest building in Regina. Then they walked home.”

• Turner again: “Bombers hadn’t won the Labour Day Classic since 2004. Wow! That’s twelve years. Twelve. Or as it’s known in Regina: 13.”

• Blogger Chad Picasner, on the Yankees’ pitching woes: “Last night they showed pitching coach Larry Rothschild sitting on the bench and scratching his head. Maybe he should sit on his head and scratch the other end. He couldn’t do any worse.”

• Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “Colin Kaepernick’s No. 7 has become the 49ers’ hottest-selling jersey. ‘Hottest’ might

be the key word here, because some folks are buying Kap’s jersey to place under the briquettes to start their barbecues.”

• Headline at TheKicker.com: “Sam Bradford shipped to Vikings in bubble wrap to avoid damage.”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald, on the Jim Harbaugh recruit who backed out of his oral commitment because the school misspelled his name: “I think I now know why T.J. Houshmandzadeh didn’t play for Michigan.”

• Blue Jays broadcaster and ex-MLB catcher Buck Martinez, after catching a foul ball in the press box: “I could always catch. I just couldn’t hit.”

• Another one from TheKicker.com: “Wow: Bradford’s already mastered ‘Peterson handoff’ part of Vikes’ playbook.”

• Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “Tim Tebow signed with the New York Mets. The Mets are excited. They’ve never

had a player throw an interception before.”

• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Bills coach Rex Ryan said he’s gained 30 pounds since twin, Rob, joined Buffalo’s staff. When asked about it, Rob said, ‘He is heavy; he’s my brother.’

• Late-night funnyman Jimmy Fallon: “Football started tonight with the Denver Broncos playing their first game since Peyton Manning retired. Trevor Siemian took his place and before kickoff, Peyton put his arm around Trevor’s shoulder, looked into his eyes and said, ‘You know, starting today, you can get two medium Papa John’s pizzas for $6.’”

• Another one from TC in BC: “People in the Bay Area were outraged that Red Sox infielder Dustin Pedroia was not standing during the national anthem at the Oakland A’s game.

PeeDee said ‘But I am standing!’”

SO

By Bruce Penton The gag posting on Facebook showing a video of a “Canadian being born” — whereby a fully grown man rises from a hole in the ice of a lake, carrying a hockey stick and wearing skates and shin pads, and proceeds to skate away — is far-fetched, of course, but it’s an image people elsewhere in the world might think is somewhat believeable.

Canada is hockey.

And Canada will win this month’s World Cup of Hockey because we have the best players.

People in the U.S., Russia, Sweden and Finland might disagree but for every Patrick Kane, we offer up a Sidney Crosby; for every Alex Ovechkin, Canada throws out a John Ta-

vares; for every Erik Karlsson on defence, the Canadians suit up a Drew Doughty; and for every Finnish flash like Mikko Koivu, Canada sends Jonathan Toews or Tyler Sequin hopping over the boards.

Canadian hockey fans can’t get enough of their favourite sport, and even though the Stanley Cup finals ended just more than three months ago, living rooms and sports bars across Canada will have their big screens locked on the World Cup of Hockey tournament from the first game on Sept. 17 until the bestof-three final begins Sept. 28.

Most fans in North America will have two teams to cheer for, since one of the entries in the eight-team tournament is an under-23 squad made up of young stars from both Canada and the U.S. Speed is this team’s forte, and with Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews, Jack Eichel, Nathan McKinnon, Johnny Gaudreau

1 -WILLY FREED AND GLENN AGAIN: The Canadian Football League was flipped on its ear late-Sunday afternoon when the Winnipeg Blue Bombers announced they’d made a pair of trades involving quarterbacks for the stretch run. The details of the trades are in the post below but the principles of the trade were Drew Willy being

shipped from Winnipeg to Toronto, and Kevin Glenn leaving Montreal to join the Blue Bombers.

Backing up a little bit, the murmur of a trade involving Drew Willy was circulating through Investors Group Field in Winnipeg a few hours prior to Saturday’s Banjo Bowl. It was first mentioned on the Bomber pregame show on 680 CJOB when I joined Bomber broadcasters Bob Irving and Doug Brown and they’d mentioned Toronto had been after Willy for weeks but Bomber GM Kyle Walters was unhappy with what Argos GM Jim Barker was offering.

About a half hour before kickoff, TSN’s Rod Black popped into our Rider Radio broadcast booth and mentioned, “It looks like the Willy trade’s going to happen”. It took 24 hours, but Black was correct.

The prevailing notion in BomberLand was that it’s all well and good for them to dump Drew

Willy, but if Winnipeg’s going to make a run in the CFL’s West Division this year, they’d need to have a quality quarterback tandem involving starter Matt Nichols. Kyle Walters covered his butt in that regard, pulling off the trade with Montreal to add the CFL’s best insurance policy in Kevin Glenn.

Will Winnipeg challenge the Calgary Stampeders for the 2016 West Division title? Who knows, but they feel they’re in a better position today. However the 8-3 B.C. Lions will be heard from in the end as well.

I feel it’s Calgary’s Grey Cup to lose and therefore it’s not a bad season for the Riders to have a downturn. In the words of Ricky Bobby, “If you’re not first, you’re last”.

I should mention that it’s not a “Grey Cup or Bust” attitude in Winnipeg this year. According to “Knuckles” Irving and Doug Brown, they’d all be content to host a home playoff game in Winnipeg and prove they’re on the right track for the immediate years ahead.

And an aside, we

were treated like absolute gold in Winnipeg. GOLD. Winnipeg gets it.

2 - WHAT ARE THE ODDS: The oddsmakers had the Bombers favoured by 7-points for the Banjo Bowl and they won 17-10. They were favoured by 3.5-points in the Labour Day Classic and they beat the Riders 28-25. I may go with the odds the rest of the way when making my picks.

3 - SO DARIAN STAYS: Rider fans scoffed at the notion that quarterback Darian Durant could be moved to Toronto as a “rental player” given the fact he’s scheduled to become a free agent in February. Perhaps the idea was preposterous especially since it never initiated from within the Riders - but the speculation seemed fair since Saskatchewan shipped Kevin Glenn to Montreal at last year’s trade deadline and he immediately became the Alouettes’ starter.

But with the 2016 season having gotten away from the Roughriders (they’re 1-10 following Saturday’s 17-10 loss in the Banjo Bowl), there’s plenty of

talk about Durant’s future. The 11-year veteran has addressed the situation twice in the past week and on both occasions he said he wants to finish his career in Green and White even if he plays for another seven or eight years.

He wants to open the new stadium. And he should.

But this consternation will continue until Roughriders GM & Head Coach Chris Jones actually opens contract talks with Durant and that could very well wait until season’s end.

There’s no doubt Durant has some anxiety about it. “This is my home,” Durant told the Leader Post’s Ian Hamilton after Saturday’s game, even if he’s privately wondered what his future holds if it’s not in the 306.

I’ll suggest the following to all of you today, just as I did to Darian last week: What indication has Chris Jones given to any of us that Durant is not his guy?

None that I can see.

See Rider Insider on page 11

NEWS

Friday, September 16, 2016

From Page 10 - Rider Insider Sure he got Durant to agree to a $50,000 paycut last winter but Jones made it a priority to drive from Tennessee to Darian’s home in Atlanta to offer the deal face-to-face rather than an impersonal phone call. At every turn over the past nine months Jones has said, “Darian’s our quarterback” and whenever he’s been healthy, Durant’s been the starter. There has been no challenge for the #1 position.

Another trump card up Durant’s sleeve is the backlash Jones and Company received when they cut loose Weston Dressler, John Chick and Chris Getzlaf in the off-season.

It’s unlikely Jones cares to make the same mistake twice - that’s even if he feels those moves were a mistake - and I’m willing to bet any money that Durant is back with the Roughriders in 2017 and beyond.

4 - BUT AT WHAT PRICE?: The offshoot of the pending Durant negotiations is what Jones will be willing to offer Durant financially in a multi-year deal. There’s no question the Riders are going to have salary cap issues in 2016 and these things tend to carry over year over year. Durant’s reportedly earning $450,000 in 2016 and one has to wonder if Jones will offer him a more-significant paycut.

Durant’s never told me this but those close to him have hinted that Darian feels he owes the Riders quite a bit after missing half of the 2014 season and all of 2015, all-the-while still pulling down the highest wage in the history of the franchise.

That’s just the kind of guy Darian Durant is and it wouldn’t surprise me if that story is true.

5 - ON TO THE ROUGHRIDERS: I had to wait a good 36 hours after the Banjo Bowl to pen this column because my mood coming out of that game was pretty glum. They should’ve won the Labour Day Classic - and everybody in the CFL knows it and they were in good position to capture the Banjo Bowl until they inflicted multiple fatal blows over the final 16 minutes to give the game away. It was their seventh consecutive loss, their longest since ... since ... last year.

As it was, they were swept by the contending Blue Bombers in a pair of games where the margin of defeat was just 10 points. They were right there, but it again signalled their inexperience and lack of cohesion.

But ...

“Anybody can see how much better they’re getting lately,” said my Mom on Sunday, a long-time Roughriders season ticket holder, and a real sharp gal.

In The Huddle co-host Marshall Hamilton said on television last week, “This might be the best 1-9 team in CFL history”.

It’s so true. Travelling to Winnipeg with the team on Friday, I was struck by the notion of, “This does not feel like a 1-9 club”. They are surprisingly upbeat, ever-smiling, and forming the bonds that you’d hope they would halfway through a rebuild season.

Players I’d never even heard of before this season were needling me about my suit selection or music choice (Ian Tyson was playing on my Ipod). They’ve all got a twinkle in their eye, unlike a year ago when the pilot light had gone out for all of the Rider players. They’re going to get some wins down the stretch and they dearly don’t want to go into the record books as the worst team in franchise history.

Last year Rider fans checked out on their team and I didn’t blame them. They didn’t miss much either over the second half.5 The family was in tears with gratitude.

9 - NO ORRIDGE, NO PROBLEM: It’s true; the Roughriders have the CFL’s worst record but they’re still the league’s most-talked about team. Last week’s story that Commissioner Jeffrey Orridge will bow out of attending this Friday’s Plaza of Honor induction ceremony at Evraz Place made headlines from coast-to-coast.

However, it really isn’t that big of a story. Would NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell be the featured speaker at a New England Patriots banquet in Boston? Not on your life. This really isn’t a lot different.

The whole situation has pretty much blown over and hopefully so too have any hard feelings between the Roughriders and CFL headquarters. I’m told Orridge isn’t my biggest fan but over the past few MMG columns, I’d be shocked if he was. He lost my support with his statement, “The recent conduct, behaviour and activities of the Saskatchewan Roughriders have compromised the reputation of the CFL” when he announced the fines for Roster-Gate but that’s my beef, not the Riders’.

Personally I think Glen Suitor would make a wonderful Commissioner of the CFL. The Riders could be hearing from the league office again this week after Kendial Lawrence’s postgame comment to the Leader Post on Saturday where he said, “I kind of feel like the refs have it out for us”.

When I floated the notion of a conspiracy after the Calgary game in mid-August, I didn’t pull it out of mid air.

Many have asked me what it will take for Chris Jones to get on the good side of Jeffrey Orridge and Glen Johnson and my answer is simply that they need to become a dominant enough team to overcome bad calls.

That’s the only way. Otherwise, Jones isn’t going to kiss anybody’s ass.

10 - ON THE GREY CUP HALFTIME: I’m five days late on this but thought I’d take this opportunity to post my thoughts on OneRepublic playing the halftime show of the 2016 Grey Cup in Toronto. Flatly, I’m against it. Every year I maintain that the Grey Cup halftime act should be Canadian but OneRepublic hails from Colorado Springs, Colorado.

This isn’t meant to be a slam at the decisionmakers with the CFL. Is OneRepublic a wonderfully talented group? Absolutely. But it’s the Canadian Football League and therefore, I feel, the Grey

Cup halftime show should be used as a platform to advance Canadian performers. Otherwise we’re saying Canadian acts just aren’t good enough and I heard from quite a few on Facebook who thanked me for my stance.

You may be shocked to know that I’m always surprised when people don’t agree with me but 49% of respondents in my Twitter poll did. One Regina marketing executive said the CFL should get the best big-name act it can afford, even if it’s American.

I simply don’t agree.

And I can only hope that Drake, The Weeknd and performers of that ilk were approached but simply weren’t available on Grey Cup Sunday.

But I doubt it.

11 - IT’S PLAZA WEEKEND: That’s one thing to get excited about despite the Roughriders’ dismal record. This Friday the Roughriders will honour franchise greats Matt Dominguez and Ivan Gutfriend at the induction ceremony at the Credit Union Eventplex. I’ll be the emcee for the much smaller annual Plaza luncheon on Friday where we’ll hear from the inductees plus Rider President Craig Reynolds.

We’ll go over some plaza memories on the SportsCage today on 620 CKRM with Rider Hall of Famers Dan Rashovich and Scott Schultz.

Rashovich, by the way, won $101,688 in the 50/50 at Saturday’s Banjo Bowl. He’s splitting the pot with fellow Rider alumni Jeff Tretlin. It couldn’t have happened to two better guys.

Ivan Gutfriend will join us live on In The Huddle on Tuesday evening on Access and on Wednesday on Shaw.

Weekly RCMP report Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

The Carlyle RCMP detachment responded to several calls to service between Friday, Sept. 2 and Thursday, Sept. 8.

Staff Sgt. Darren Simons reminds drivers that using an electronic device while operating a motor vehicle will result in a $280 fine. If a driver is charged with this offence twice in the same year, their vehicle will be seized for seven days, in addition to being ticketed.

“It’s worth the expense to get a headset or a Bluetooth device,”

says Simons. “One second is a long time and the consequences can be very serious if you choose to answer that call while driving. If you veer over the centre line or onto the shoulder of the road, those actions can result in death.”

“There are enough distractions in a motor vehicle, already,” he adds. “There’s the radio, the temperature, even food. Adding a cell phone to that is extremely dangerous.”

“Using an electronic device while driving includes being stopped at an intersection or red lights. If you must use your phone, get a Bluetooth or similar device and pull over.”

911 calls There were five 911 calls received during this period. Four were static lines and one was

CANADA: NATURAL SOURCE OF PRIDE SINCE 1867

A life of firsts in flying colour

TEST YOUR CANADIAN KNOWLEDGE

THE 52 LARGEST GROUPS IN CANADA’S MULTICULTURAL MOSAIC

CANADA’S JAPANESE COMMUNITY It’s commonly agreed upon by historians that the first Japanese settler in Canada was Manzo Nagano, who moved from Japan to Victoria, British Columbia, in 1877. Following Nagano’s arrival, a steady flow of Japanese people immigrated to Canada until the 1920s.

However, the early history of Japanese immigrants in Canada is clouded by racism and marginalization up until the late 1940s. The political and social climate of the era was heavily influenced by wartime rivalries, and the Japanese community was one of the most stigmatized groups as a result. Tension between Canada and its residents of Japanese heritage peaked during the Second World War when the entire community was branded as a security threat. This led to human rights violations, including forced internment in camps. In 1993, the federal government issued compensation and reparations to the Japanese community, and formally apologized for the injustices it carried out in the past.

Despite their tumultuous history, today’s Japanese Canadians form a strong, vibrant community that’s well established throughout the country. Many illustrious Canadian figures have Japanese roots, including world-renowned environmentalist David Suzuki, authors Ken Adachi and Hiromi Goto, Olympic gold medalist Vicky Sunohara (women’s hockey) and retired politician Bev Oda, who was the first-ever Japanese-Canadian MP and cabinet minister.

ANSWERS 1: Tom Thomson 2: Hartland, New Brunswick 3: Garter snakes. More than 70,000 specimens hibernate there each year.

4: Nanaimo, British Columbia

Born in Vancouver in 1905, Elizabeth Muriel Gregory MacGill, known as Elsie, was the youngest child of a well-known family.

Her father was an acclaimed lawyer, and her mother, Helen Gregory MacGill, was British Columbia’s first female judge.

However, when Elsie was twelve, her family fell upon hard financial times that would last through the war years. The young girl’s exceptional knack for fixing things played a large role in keeping the MacGills afloat, and led her parents to encourage her to pursue a career in the male-dominated field of engineering.

From 1923 to 1927, MacGill studied applied science in engineering at the University of Toronto. When she graduated, she became the first Canadian woman to earn a degree in electrical engineering. She went on to enrol in the University of Michigan’s Masters of Science in engineering program, specializing in aeronautical engineering. It was during her time in Michigan that she first worked on the design, research and development of aircraft. In 1929, she made history by becoming the first woman in North America—and likely the world—to receive a Masters in aeronautical engineering.

In 1934, Elsie MacGill started work at Fairchild Aircraft in ELSIE MACGILL (1905-1980) Montreal, where she stood out not only because of her gender, The worlds first female aircraft designer but also her exceptional talent. This reputation led her to be elected to the Engineering Institute of Canada in 1938—anothSource: Library and Archives Canada er first for a woman. After nearly a decade at Fairchild, she was named chief aeronautical engineer at Canadian Car & Foundry (CanCar) in Fort William. Holding such a position was unheard of for a woman at the time, but MacGill didn’t let the pressure of being the first get in the way of her performance. During her time at CanCar she designed a new training aircraft, the Maple Leaf Trainer II, before being put in charge of a large-scale project for the Royal Air Force: the production of the Hawker Hurricane. Her work on this fighter craft nearly single-handedly built Canada’s reputation as an aircraft construction powerhouse during the Second World War, earning her the nickname of Queen of the Hurricanes.

In 1943, MacGill left CanCar to open an aeronautics consulting business in Toronto. A few years later, she became the first woman to serve as technical advisor for the International Civil Aviation Organization, for which she helped draft the International Air Worthiness regulations for the design and production of commercial aircraft. Later, she was named Chairman of the United Nations Stress Analysis Committee, and was—you guessed it—the first woman ever to chair a UN committee.

In the following years, inspired by the life of her mother, MacGill devoted most of her time to women’s rights advocacy, eventually becoming a member of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women.

Elsie MacGill died in 1980 after dedicating her life to engineering and activism. The long list of honours and awards she received includes the Order of Canada and the Amelia Earhart Medal; she became a member of the Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame in 1983 and was one of the founding inductees in the Canadian Science and Engineering Hall of Fame. But above all, she showed millions of girls in Canada and the world that they could accomplish just as much as their male counterparts—if not more.

Call to remembrance

By Linda Wegner As I sit at my desk penning these words, I can’t help but think of another morning fifteen years ago today when I was doing the same thing, sitting at my desk, working on a writing assignment. Suddenly I heard my husband call me to the living room. “A plane just flew into a tower in New York,” he told me and that’s where the similarities end.

On that fateful day in 2011 we were living in Saskatoon and I was working for a U.S. based company; to add to the very real drama, a number of that company’s employees were working in New York City as the horror of 9/11 unfolded. Fifteen years later the memories are as vivid as they were back then.

A decade and a half has passed, we’ve moved to the West Coast, watched two granddaughters grow up and embark on professional careers and, last week, a third enter Grade One. Needless to say our hair

has turned gray over the years and our pace of living has slowed down… but we still remember because some things are forever etched in the heart and mind.

This morning we celebrated another cause for remembrance: a celebration of Communion, known to some as The Lord’s Supper and to yet others, as the rite of Eucharist.

But by whatever name we use, it is the demonstrated love of God to mankind that gives us cause to carry on and even to rejoice. In spite of the angry outbursts across our globe, the unspeakable consequences of both natural and man-made disasters and our own personal challenges, we are precious in His sight.

Here’s some encouragement for the coming week: “Some trust in chariots and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God...we have risen and stand upright” Psalm 20:7, 8

Visiting with Neil and Faye Rempel were Rhett and Liz Rempel and son James, Peter and Anne Abrams( Liz’s parents) and their 13 year old nephew, Harry from England.They spent 3 weeks here.Tim Rempel and daughter, Eve from Kelowna also visited.

This was the first time in 5 years that Rhett and Tim were together.

Phil and Carol Reddekop travelled to Grande Prairie where they visited with daughter Penny and Jared and family.

Congratulations to Nolan and and Tori Robertson of Warman,Sk on the birth of a daughter on Sept. 3.

Lexi Quinn weighed 7 lbs 2 oz.

Bob and Linda Birnie travelled to Golden,BC to attend a funeral service for Joanne Birnie. They stopped for a visit at Strathmore to see Shirley Ramage.

They took Bud Birnie back with them and picked Janice Birnie(she had flown in from Honolulu) in Calgary. After the service they took Bud and Janice to Port Coquitlam. On the way home Bob and Linda sopped at Grand Forks,BC to visit with Linda’s only aunt, her dad’s sister Gladys Henshilwood.

The long weekend in September saw three families celebrate birthdays. Bud King celebrated his 80th birthday.

He and his family, entertained 170 family and friends with a buffet supper and a social evening at the Drop In at Kenosee Lake.Family members, Harvey of Estevan, Kathy of St. Albert, AB, Ken of Carlyle and Lyndon of Crossfield, AB and families

were all present.

The Brisbois family gathered on Saturday, September 3rd for their annual reunion and birthday celebration.Those attending were, George and Dianne Brisbois of Taber, AB, Lawrence and Caroline of Balgonie, Gerry Brisbois and Joanne Mills and Joe and Jean Brisbois. George, Joe and Gerry all celebrated birthdays that week.

The Johnson-Vail Bash was also held on September 3rd. This was a combination of birthdays and golden wedding anniversaries. A variety program in the afternoon, a supper for invited guests and some entertainment by Mark Phillips and Nicki Ford and dance music by KO and Friends rounded out the evening. Marie Vail was celebrating her 80th birthday and her family of Shirley of Winnipeg, Ken of Carlyle, David of Regina and Brian of Hawley, Minn and families were in attendance. Neena Johnson celebrated her 45th birthday. As for golden wedding anniversaries there were three: Jim and Marilyn (Johnson)Cathcart, Bill and Marilyn (Johnson) Greenbank and Carl and Lynne Johnson.

Jordan Trinidad and his family of Analyn, Dana and Jamir arrived in Wawota last week from the Philippines. Jordan who has worked at Moose Mountain Meats for the past few years traveled to the Philippines in August to accompany his family to their new home in Wawota. In lieu of cards at the Johnson-Vail Bash there was a silver collection for the Trinidad family. Welcome to Wawota.

Kennedy/Langbank News Submitted by Doreen Cancade

Dorothy McQuitty of Kipling was very pleased with her birthday parties this past week and why not, a celebration for 90 years. Congratulations Dorothy.

At the coffee morning held in the Kennedy Friendship centre on Tuesdayóit was nice to have Theresa Istace of Weyburn attendingóshe had been in Whitewood with family and friends for the weekend and made a special visit with friends at the centre on her way home.

This past week Yvonne Bertalon had her sister Dorothy Domes and her daughter Wendy of Weyburn, Katylin, Jeremy and Cindy Green of Lampman visit her, Yvonne and Bradley Green visited with the Green family at Lampman on Saturday.

This is the time of year when organizations gather ñthe Kennedy U.C.W. had a meeting on Thursday evening to organize the upcoming fall supper which will be held at the Kennedy Community hall Sept. 25th - probably the first of many suppers.

Another chance community supporting communities.

Gabrielle Dube certainly likes to travelóafter spending the summer at Kenosee Lake she has left for Wendover Englandóworking on a holiday Visa for 5 months then plans on touring for a few months-this young lady loves her adventuresócongratulations Gabrielle.

Congratulations to Grant and Krystal Dube of Macoun on their marriage held at Kenosee Lake on Friday Sept. 9th. Grant is the son of Leon and Cheryl Dube. A number of family members and friends joined them at the Moose Head (rain forced the wedding to be held indoors).

John, Matilda and Joe Yuhasz

of Regina spent the weekend with Marion Yuhasz, they all attended the wedding of Kimberly Fargo and Taylor Berger held at the Fargo farmóyou may be sure the lovely horses were a part of the celebration for Kim, the banquet was held in Langbank with a very large crowd. Congratulations to Kim and Taylor, they will be residing in Esterhazy.

Sunday visitors with George and I were friends Gloria Rupert and Lorraine Colvin of Montmartre, on their way home they stopped in Kipling to visit Harold and Dorothy McQuitty and Tony Cancade.

Barbara Wilkins and Roy Bortolotto traveled to Ontario during the month of August to visit with family and friends. They visited with Bob and Myra McWilliams of Brockville, attending theatre shows in Gananoque and Morrisburg, and touring the historic steamships “RMS Segwun” (1887) in Gravenhurst and “SS Keewatin” (1907) in Port McNicholl.

Other sightseeing included the “Diefenbunker” Cold War Museum in Carp near Ottawa, and African Lion Safari near Cambridge. Southern Ontario’s hot, dry weather this summer was ideal for outdoor activities which included a Shakespeare festival evening performance of “Julius Caesar” on the banks of the St. Lawrence River in Prescott. On the return trip a visit with George and Eleanor Hodgins was a great way to end a busy vacation.

This is the time for Terry Fox walk. It will be held on Sunday, Sept.

18th. Anyone interested in attending please sign up from 1-1:30 P.M. at the Kennedy Friendship Centreófolks from Kennedy have been meeting every year since 1989.

Dignitaries, Canadian Military personal, Veterans and Cadets were all in attendance as well as many members of the public of all ages.

Then it was time for the return game the following weekend – the Banjo Bowl in Winnipeg, maybe just maybe we could get that one, but NO it was another defeat for the Riders. After a glorious 10 year stint I guess it’s our turn to be on the losing end – will have to turn it around next year. Good luck to the Riders in their next game on Sept. 18.

Pause for Reflection

By Ken Rolheiser www.kenrolheiser.com

How God makes love to us

You’ve heard the expression “God couldn’t be everywhere and therefore he made mothers”. And that is an example of how God loves us and makes love to us. Isaiah 66: 11-13 expresses God’s love for Jerusalem, for us.

“That you may be suckled, filled From her consoling breast, That you may savour with delight Her glorious breasts …

Like a son comforted by his mother Will I comfort you.”

God’s love is experienced by babies in their mother’s embrace.

God’s love is experienced by lovers in each other’s embrace as well. God’s greatest gift to us is love.

God makes love to us again and again. Every sunrise, every breath, every taste of joy teaches us about the Creator. We gasp with joy; we pant as we run and fill our lungs with the wind. Our hearts beat high with the joy of being alive and strong.

Our greatest human love songs echo that oneness with God for which we long since conception. There is an ancient tradition in our Church that every human begins with a kiss; when a person is created God kisses their soul and then sends us forth into the world. As we grow we forever yearn for another kiss from God. We yearn for that intimacy again.

In Celine Dion’s love song “Falling into You” we can see how the lyrics might apply to our love affair with God:

23

NEWS

I was afraid to let you in here Now I have learned love can’t be made in fear The walls begin to tumble down And I can’t even see the ground I’m falling into you This dream could come true And it feels so good falling into you.

Then there is Jim Croce’s “Time in a Bottle” which could as well be expressing our longing for love eternal”: If I could save time in a bottle The first thing that I’d like to do Is to save every day ‘Til eternity passes away Just to spend them with you If I could make days last forever If words could make wishes come true I’d save every day like a treasure and then, Again, I would spend them with you But “There never seems to be enough time to do the things we want to do” or should do. In the end, it is God “We want to go through time with”.

Meanwhile, savour the gift of lovers and family and community. Be grateful for the blessings of the senses in creation and the joys of the spiritual world as well.

And when it comes to turning back to God I am reminded of Cher’s song: “If I could turn back time If I could find a way I’d take back those words…”

We are in a world where sin and pride often control us. Cher’s song

echoes: “I lost every thing… then and there Too strong to tell you I was sorry Too proud to tell you I was wrong.”

But God is still in love with us.

He never left us. And he continues

showering his graces and blessings.

We still can “reach the stars” and return all creation and our love to God. And God will love us, love us the way he used to do and always will.
