Thoughts and Prayers Brent Toombs heard about the Humboldt Broncos bus crash at his home in Belize. “It hit me like a punch in the gut,” he says.“My heart goes out to everyone touched by this tragedy.” Toombs spent 10 years living in Saskatchewan, working at television stations in Prince Albert and later at STV (Global) in Saskatoon, adding: “I was lucky to live in Saskatchewan. That’s where I really began to understand my Canadian identity. Some of the best people I have ever known live there.”

He wrote “Thoughts and Prayers” and kindly agreed to share it with The Observer’s readers at our request.

Thoughts and prayers. And a line-up of people volunteering to get bumped off their flight so a family can get to Saskatoon sooner.

Thoughts and prayers. And parents who just lost their son in the accident keeping him on life support long enough so his organs can be used to help six other people.

Thoughts and prayers. And NHL coaches in tears speaking about kids they never met. And NHL teams honouring the Humboldt Broncos with on-ice ceremonies and cash donations.

Thoughts and Prayers

By Brent Toombs “Thoughts and prayers” has taken a beating lately.

What used to be a well-intentioned expression of support has been co-opted by people who believe an empty tweet with that phrase somehow absolves them of any and all responsibility to stop students from getting shot at or from providing aid to people devastated by natural disasters. “Sending thoughts and prayers” and nothing else.

When the news broke of the horrific tragedy involving the Humboldt Broncos, social media blew up with “thoughts and prayers.”

Thoughts and prayers. And hundreds of people gathering at the local hockey arena in the middle of a bitterly cold Saskatchewan night in order to support members of their community.

Thoughts and prayers. And coffee, donuts, and food that always seems to magically appear whenever a group of people in Saskatchewan gather, especially in difficult times.

Thoughts and prayers. And people offering up their homes to anyone who needs a place to stay.

And hotels offering free rooms.

Thoughts and prayers. And people waiting for three hours to donate blood in Saskatoon.

Thoughts and prayers. And grief counsellors dispatched to assist the families, first responders, or anyone who needs someone to talk with.

Thoughts and prayers. And Canada’s two major airlines reaching out to assist affected families who need to travel to Saskatchewan.

MENS LADIES KIDS

CARLYLE • WAWOTA

Thoughts and prayers. And a nation watching Hockey Night in Canada with tears in their eyes.

Thoughts and prayers. And over $3.3 MILLION (and counting) donated by 49,000 people in just 36 hours to assist the people affected by this unimaginable tragedy.

Thanks to the outpouring of support and the actions of so many, “thoughts and prayers” has value again. In Canada, especially in Saskatchewan, “thoughts and prayers” obviously never stopped meaning something much, much deeper.

Sympathetic Sea of Green: Area schools honour Humboldt Broncos Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Schools from throughout the South East Cornerstone School Division paid tribute to the Humboldt Broncos hockey team beginning Monday, April 9.

The school division’s website stated: “Students and staff are encouraged to wear either a jersey of their choice or the colour green (Monday) and in the days ahead as a show of support and unity for the Broncos, their families

and all affected.”

“We’ll have our flag at half-mast until the last service is concluded,” says Principal Shelly Campbell of Stoughton Central School, when asked about her school’s response to the tragedy. “Everyone is wearing green - staff and students.”

“On behalf of Stoughton Central School, our thoughts and prayers go out to the community of Humboldt, the parents, the players and the entire Humboldt Broncos Hockey team.”

Carlyle Elementary School joined schools from throughout the South East Cornerstone School Division and throughout Saskatchewan in honouring the Humboldt Broncos hockey team after a tragic accident claimed the lives of 15 people on Friday, April 6. The South East Cornerstone School Division stated on their website: “Students and staff are encouraged to wear either a jersey of their choice or the colour green (Monday) and in the days ahead as a show of support and unity for the Broncos, their families and all affected.”

Carlyle’s Gordon F. Kells High School joins schools across Saskatchewan in sending support to members of the Humboldt Broncos hockey community after a tragic accident claimed the lives of 15 people on Friday, April 6. The South East Cornerstone School Division stated on their website: “As with all across this small and intimate province and our compassionate country, we are tremendously saddened by the horrific tragedy involving the Humboldt Broncos hockey club. Our most heartfelt and sincere condolences are sent to all involved.”

Campbell’s sentiments are echoed by her fellow educators.

From Carlyle, Gordon F. Kells High School physed teacher Colin Wilson who played with the Broncos from 2004 to 2007 - is currently in Humboldt to lend support.

GFK Vice-Principal Darcy Howe says: “On behalf of our entire student body and staff we send our deepest condolences and our thoughts and prayers to the community of Humboldt.”

“We have a message scrolling on our school sign, our flags are at halfmast and like everyone else, we can’t imagine what they as a community are going through.

Like everyone else on the Prairies and Canada we send them our prayers and support.”

“You hope and pray it’s something you never, never have to go through,” adds Howe. “Dealing with one death is hard, but dealing with 15 deaths is unimaginable. We are monitoring our kids here and sending our love and support up to everyone in Humboldt.”

Arcola School Principal Ron Wardrope agrees.

“Our kids and staff are all in green today and we observed a moment of silence at our assembly today. Our flag will remain at half-mast throughout the week.”

“I think it’s devastating,” says Wardrope. “You can imagine the horror and tragedy of losing one child and then you multiply that by 15 people...

Everyone at Arcola School sends our heartfelt sympathy to everyone involved in this tragedy.”

Principal Sheri Cappo of the White Bear Education Complex says: “What a tragedy. Everyone is emotionally affected and it is truly devastating. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families.”

Staff and students at Manor School wore green shirts and lowered flags to half-mast, according to Principal Melissa Barsi who says, “Everyone in

Manor is thinking of the families and we send our sincere sympathies.”

On behalf of Redvers School, principal Nancy Fraser sent the following message: “Redvers School sends our most sincerest condolences to the entire Broncos organization and their families impacted by this tragedy. Words cannot express the heartache we feel for each and every one of you at this difficult time. Our prayers to you all.”

The South East Cornerstone School Division spoke on behalf of all of the area’s schools this way: “As with all across this small and intimate province and our compas-

sionate country, we are tremendously saddened by the horrific tragedy involving the Humboldt

Broncos hockey club.

Our most heartfelt condolences are sent to all involved.”

The staff and students of Redvers School joined their counterparts throughout the province in honouring the Humboldt Broncos hockey team, who were involved in a devastating bus crash on Friday, April 6, which resulted in the deaths of 15 people and hospitalized 14 others. Redvers School Principal Nancy Fraser said in an email to The Observer: “Words cannot express the heartache we feel for each and every one of you at this difficult time. Our prayers to you all.” (Photo submitted)

Carlyle RCMP assists in Humboldt Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

The Carlyle RCMP detachment has assisted after the tragic accident involving the Humboldt Broncos hockey team, which resulted in the deaths of 15 people.

“Constable Tanya Gordon from our detachment has been seconded to the Major Crimes Unit and she is the file coordinator,” says Staff Sgt. Darren Simons of the Carlyle detachment.

“Marg Phenix of White Bear Lake is one of our guards and she is also a counsellor. She is currently in Humboldt providing assistance with regards to trauma and mental health.”

Simons returned to Carlyle after providing security for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Humboldt and says: “This tragedy is international in scope, but it’s also very close to us and very local. We all know of someone who is affected. I saw a member of the RCMP in Humboldt whom I know Al Presler, who is now the Detachment Commander in Broadview - who was a former board member of the Humboldt Broncos hockey club.”

“Police officers are often coaches or involved in local sports,” says Simons. “And members of our detachment are no different. Because of that, we put two

hockey sticks outside the detachment - in case the boys need them.”

“Our hearts go out to everyone directly or indirectly impacted by this tragedy.”

Members of the Carlyle RCMP detachment placed two hockey sticks outside the entrance to the detachment - a bittersweet gesture honouring the victims of the tragic bus crash involving the Humboldt Broncos hockey team which occurred Friday, April 6. “We put two hockey sticks outside the detachment - in case the boys need them,” says Staff Sgt. Darren Simons (pictured).

Supporting Small Towns:

Solomon-Matthewson Consulting plans for progress Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Lorri Matthewson is committed to supporting small towns. Over its five-year existence, her Carlylebased company, Solomon-Matthewson Consulting has provided rural communities with business engagement and support, community engagement strategies, asset management planning and arts and cultural supports - all while assisting leaders from towns, villages and hamlets throughout Saskatchewan and Manitoba access necessary funding they may not have otherwise received.

“Much of the province’s revenue comes out of the resources from these little towns - agriculture, oil and potash, to name a few,” says Matthewson.

“These communities are provincial assets, but in many cases, they’re competing for a small piece of the provincial pie.”

“Something like searching out funding sources and grant- and proposal-writing - which is part of what I do - can provide much-needed funding for a community.”

Matthewson - who will complete her MBA in Community Economic Development at Cape Breton University this fall - says governing and managing small communities has grown in complexity.

“You can’t expect councils do do it all,” she says.

“For a century, most councils had only four responsibilities they were expected to handle: taxes, water, sewer and roads.”

“Now there are suddenly so many more things expected of small-town governments,” says Matthewson. “And no matter how dedicated the council members are, it’s not possible for them to keep up with it all. And that’s where I can come in.”

Solomon says that asset management is a common challenge facing small towns in Saskatchewan.

“Every community in the province is currently dealing with some aspect of aging infrastructure,” she says. “Our communities are all close to the same age, so that’s a current challenge for local governments of all sizes.”

“But another aspect of asset management that’s often overlooked is how many of our communities rely on volunteer boards to run a lot of our amenities - for example, rinks and swimming pools,” explains Matthewson. “Volunteers contribute countless hours of free labour for fundraising and general management. They are passionate about their projects and their commitment allows the rest of the community to enjoy these local facilities.”

“The problem is that often a community becomes so dependent on these volunteers, that in some cases, these town-owned facilities are seldom included in a community’s capital plan,” she explains.

“Trouble starts when costs to repair these assets become too much for volunteer committees to handle.”

“Ultimately, there can be a clash between the committee who has donated countless hours to the preservation of a community amenity and a town that hasn’t planned budget-wise for a major repair.”

“These are the types of concerns my business addresses,” says Matthewson. “Most people I’ve encountered in the course of my working life are passionate about and proud of their communities.

They’re also incredibly hardworking, but with an increasingly complex world that’s changing fast, it’s sometimes hard to pull back and take the long view, when you’re already really, really busy.”

Matthewson also works with communities, businesses and arts groups as part of her professional and personal mandate.

“Small-town sustainability isn’t a one size fits all issue,” she says. “I’m here to help communities embrace change and it’s great if a community comes together. But I’ve also found that one small change by a small business in a community or an arts group can help to revitalize and inspire positive change and growth within a small town.”

“Forget is a great example of a committed group of people involved in arts and culture reviltalizing a place. And in Carlyle, Ken King’s innovative approach to business makes his store (Kings Department Store) a destination for a lot of people.”

“These issues that must be confronted aren’t just a small-town Saskatchewan thing,” says Matthewson.

“They’re a small population thing.”

“I was raised in small-town Saskatchewan and I want to see these communities thrive.”

“But we as communities have got to stop apologizing for being little towns,” says Matthewson. “ We’re the backbone of this province and our biggest challenge is being reluctant to embrace change.”

“I don’t have hope for every small town, but I have hope for the community that values itself enough to want to do something different from the way it’s always been done.”

Teddy Bears Anonymous fundraising brunch at the Happy Nun featuring Tenille Arts a success Kelly Running Observer Staff

In a few short months, Gayla and Leon Gilbertson, have re-established the Happy Nun in Forget as a place for people to enjoy each others company, fantastic food, and amazing music.

As they’ve been busy building their business, they have continued to focus on carrying on Don Shakotko (founder of the Happy Nun) and Katie Vinge-Riddell’s (owner and chef) legacies.

With thoughts of community a fundraising brunch was held for Teddy Bears Anonymous with a performance by the talented Tenille Arts originally of Weyburn who has been working towards her dreams in the Music City - Nashville.

It was a rather emotional day as funds were raised for Teddy Bears Anonymous, but as the Humboldt Broncos tragedy was also fresh in people’s minds.

Arts performed, “Somewhere over the Rainbow,” in their honour after speaking from her heart about the tragedy on everyone’s minds: “There’s a heaviness in this room and across Saskatchewan right now. People are going through tough times and I’d like to play a song for everybody affected by the bus accident. It’s so hard to see everyone going through that. Small towns come together and we will cherish their memory and are there for all those that are hurting.”

“Kids travel constantly on buses, it made me think of my brother and of all the kids that travelled for sports through high school, it’s something that really hits home and has touched everyone.”

The rest of the concert, which was sold out nearly as soon as it was announced, focused on Arts’ original music and a few covers she thought the crowd would enjoy – including a few she relearned backstage including LeAnn Rimes’ “Blue.”

“All four of my grandparents are here today,” she explained – looking lovingly into the crowd and wanting to perform a song for them. “This is one of the first songs that I taught myself at eight-yearsold. I just kept playing the cassette over and over to learn it and to try to figure out how LeAnn Rimes did that little flip with her voice.”

Arts has been working hard to make her dreams a reality and is currently nominated for five Saskatchewan Country Music Association Awards: Album of the Year (Rebel Child), Female Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Interactive Artist of the Year, and Video of the Year (Cold Feet).

Additionally, her music video for Cold Feet hit #1 on the CMT Music 12 Pack; a viewer voted program.

“Thank you all who voted,” she said gratefully.

“It means a lot to me. It’s also the only song I didn’t write on the album. People always ask me if I wish I had, but I thought it was cool that I got to hear it for the first time – like you all did – all the way through.

It was like a Nicholas Sparks book in a song.”

Additionally, one of her songs was featured on The Bachelor, which has garnered attention for her music.

“The opportunity to be on…” Arts laughed. “I have to be careful how I word that. The opportunity to perform on The Bachelor – be on The Bachelor is different – came up and I went through my songs that I had just released on Rebel Child, but none

Tenille Arts, a singer/songwriter from Weyburn, was a special guest at the Happy Nun Café in Forget on Sunday, April 8, for a Teddy Bears Anonymous brunch fundraiser. Arts has been living in Music City, otherwise known as Nashville, to pursue her dreams and has seen huge strides in her career over the past year. were perfect, so I found a song I had written about a year before for the show and I ended up performing during a one-on-one date for Arie and Chelsea.”

Arts reminisced a little bit about her life and thanked everyone for coming out to support the fundraising brunch and enjoy the performance.

“It’s nice to be able to come back here and perform songs that I wrote in Nashville. Lots of what I write are about experiences here, so it’s special to be able to come back and perform them.”

“A huge thank you to the Happy Nun Café for having me. I remember coming to Forget years ago for a festival here. It was incredible. I remember walking around looking at all the cool places, so thank you for having me back.”

During the concert, Arts smiled and laughed in between songs, “You guys are so quiet.”

But, the crowd, despite knowing the lyrics to many of the songs and being able to sing along had chosen to simply be enthralled by Arts’ beautiful voice accompanied only by her guitar.

Following the performance, Gayla thanked everyone for coming out to support the Teddy Bears Anonymous fundraiser brunch, which saw all coffee sales and the silent auction going towards funds raised for the day.

“Thank you everyone for attending the Tenille Arts Brunch in support of Teddy Bears Anonymous!” Gayla wrote on The Happy Nun Café’s Facebook page. “With special thanks to our co-sponsors: Stoughton Meat Market and Family Foods, ABSees Studio, Kings Department Store, Cheryl MacDougall Lake, New Hope Pharmacy and Michael’s Coffee Shop and Bakery we were able to raise over $425 for Teddy Bears Anonymous… that’s over 100 bears for children at a scary time in their lives!

Moose Mountain Wildlife Federation continues to support community and invest in conservation Kelly Running Observer Staff

BEST BUYS IN USED EQUIPMENT

4WD

The Moose Mountain Wildlife Federation has consistently been a part of the community for the past 17 years and has supported wildlife throughout Saskatchewan.

“The event is pretty much sold out,” Jim Brown, president of the Moose Mountain Wildlife Federation, said of the fundraising supper held on Saturday, April 7. “We have a lot of new faces here this year too which is really nice.”

The Moose Mountain Wildlife Federation has over 300 members covering communities in and around Stoughton, Kisbey, Lampman, Arcola, Carlyle, and Manor.

“It’s a big community and we work really well together,” Brown added.

Some of the larger undertakings include this fundraiser as well as Archery Club, which runs two nights each week during the winter months.

“We have 90 youth that participate and we do our best to keep costs down for families; in turn the parents often volunteer back in some way to help us,” Brown explained. “Stoughton 4-H this year also brought 12 kids once a week as they were looking at getting into it and we already had the facility here for them to use.”

“We’re also currently raising money for land purchases. It seems every two years we have land offered to us and that’s land that can never be bulldozed or developed, it’s to be left the way it is.”

“The clubs across the province work well together, one club will have a project and everyone will put a little money in and it gets done. It works good.”

Other projects that the Moose Mountain Wildlife Federation has been completing includes archery in Stoughton school as of March.

“Equipment costs between $5,000 and $6,000 to set everything up; we’ve previously set it up in Carlyle and are open to doing it other places as well,” Brown

President of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation, Heath Dreger, spoke to the crowd regarding topics of interest at the provincial level.

Scott Bryce took up his role again as auctioneer at the Moose Mountain Wildlife Federation’s fundraising dinner held on Saturday, April 7. stated. “Otherwise we’re maintaining our dock and parking lot at Alameda Dam. And we try to facilitate two days of fishing during free fishing weekends. We held one in March at Kenosee and 54 people came out to ice fish; then in the summer we try to get boats together for free fishing in July – we don’t always get to with other obligations that members might have – but we keep trying.”

Over the past 17 years the Moose Mountain Wildlife Federation has also contributed $179,000 to Habitat Trust – just over $10,000 a year.

“We wouldn’t be able to do what we do if it wasn’t for the sponsorship of businesses in this area. We have 130 that have donated to this event this evening and without them it would be pretty difficult to run,” Brown said with gratitude. “We’re also always looking for new members and active members – we meet the second Monday of every month other than July and August in Arcola.”

Membership, Brown says, has altered slightly in that a good part of the members are fisherman as opposed to hunters, which he attributes to the part the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation has played in taking over the administration of the Fish Hatchery at Fort Qu-Appelle.

“It all goes to a good cause, everyone here are volunteers, and all the money goes to wildlife or wildlife related programs. We’ve sponsored kids to go to camp: Estevan has an outdoor camp and there’s a Candle Lake camp. There are also $500 bursaries given out to five schools in our area – Stoughton, Arcola, Manor, Lampman, and Carlyle –to give back to the communities that support us.

Overall the night was a great success for the Wildlife Federation, but it also raised the largest 50/50 draw ever as the Moose Mountain Wildlife Federation’s portion is being donated to the Humboldt Broncos.

“Everybody knows someone related in some way to the accident and money won’t solve anything, but what else do you do?” Brown said.

Raised for the Broncos through the 50/50 was $1,392.

Guest speaker for the evening was Heath Dreger, President of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation.

He spoke to projects at the provincial level which included the fish hatchery, a land management agreement, a game management plan, the Habitat Trust and their adopt an acre program, and discussion around the possible change to written permission to access private land.

Weekly RCMP Report Lynne Bell

Rural Municipality of Reciprocity No. 32

Observer Staff

The Carlyle RCMP detachment dealt with several files from Thursday, March 29 to Thursday, April 5.

Staff Sgt. Darren Simons of the Carlyle RCMP detachment reminds members of the public that the gun amnesty continues until April 29.

“If you have firearms you don’t want and you want the RCMP to pick them up, please contact us and we will do so,” says Staff Sgt. Simons. “If you bring them in to us, please leave them in your vehicle and a member will come out and pick them up. Please do not carry them from your vehicle to the detachment yourself. It does not look good for someone to approach a police station with a firearm - for any reason.”

911 An individual called 911 for the purpose of requesting a ride. “We explained to this person that 911 shouldn’t be used for the purpose of calling a ‘buffalo cab’ - which is a nickname for RCMP patrol cars because of the buffalo painted on the vehicles,” says Staff Sgt. Simons with a smile. “Because it doesn’t always take you to where you want to go.”

One call to 911 was made by a child playing with a phone, while two other calls were due to SaskTel computer glitches.

Alcohol-related Offences Several intoxicated individuals were lodged in cells until sober after the report of a disturbance in the Carlyle area.

Two intoxicated individuals were lodged in cells until sober after RCMP received a call about property damage in the Carlyle area.

Police provided assistance to the corrections department regarding the temporary absence of individual prisoners. “We often assist the corrections department with these matters,” says Staff Sgt. Simons. “Individuals who are incarcerated are sometimes granted permission to visit family or to attend funerals or other family events.

Quote of the Week...

“You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.”

- Indira Gandhi

Prayers for those affected by Humboldt Broncos tragedy

Last week I had prepared a column, but you never know what the future can hold… which was made very evident last week and inspired me to write a new column, which begins with my deepest condolences to everyone affected by the tragic event on April 6.

Kelly Running Friday’s collision inObserver Staff volving the Humboldt Broncos team bus and a semi was felt across the province; it resonated with the country and around the world.

Where we live, Saskatchewan, it means we travel for everything. Although it was just another day on the bus, it became so much more to so many more people.

I wasn’t born yet when the Swift Current Broncos’ bus crashed, but I grew up knowing the names of the four young men that lost their lives.

It was a community forever changed. One that, even though I had not yet been born, had respected their memory and continued to share their stories.

When I heard about this collision my heart sank. What were the chances that on that day, at that exact time, a semi and a bus would cross paths in that way? The driving conditions were favourable other than it being cold out, however, the intersection has a history of being a dangerous one.

Through my years playing and coaching volleyball, we typically go in parents’ vehicles, but on occasion I’ve been on a similar bus. We were heading out to Abbotsford for Nationals. We played music, laughed, played games, and slept – some of us on the floor and others on the seats.

It was a lot of fun and although we didn’t travel in that fashion all of the time; I can see how for hockey players it was where the majority of team bonding could happen.

There you are in a small space for hours forced to interact with each other… it turns into a place where laughing and visiting is common place and where, if your performance was poor, you hold each other up through silence on a losing ride home – ultimately it’s where relationships are forged.

How many trips had they taken and how many times had everything been alright? How many teams travel in this way all of the time?

It’s a tragic accident with so many people grieving for the loss of a family-member, friend, neighbour, coach, teammate, etc… My heart is heavy for all of you.

My heart also aches for the driver of the semi. When he began his day he never imagined that it would be impacted in such a way. What he must be feeling and going through as well… I honestly can’t even imagine.

Thank you to all of the First Responders, something like that would be an extremely difficult situation to step into and will remain with you. We thank you for your efforts everyday to keep us safe or to give us aid when we’re in need.

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this event.

Time will pass, but the memories you have will endure. The love you had for them and they for you will remain a warm embrace each time you think of them. Live your life to its fullest as they would have wanted you to do as they did – in pursuit of their dreams and living their passion.

Heart of the Moose Mountains

On alert all the time It’s a system we hope works effectively but one we would rather never have to use.

Emergency alerts from federal and provincial authorities can now be sent to cell phones. It is called Alert Ready and is being added to the warnings we are already familiar with that come across our TVs and radios.

My Outlook The Alert Ready system will Shelley Luedtke provide notice of an impending emergency when there is a threat to life. We will be notified of the type of emergency we are facing, and also told of any action we might need to take.

We already have access to different types of alerts. We can find out what road conditions are, we can use weather forecasts to help with event planning, and we can spare ourselves inconvenience or even potential danger by heeding notices to avoid certain areas due to accidents, crime, natural disasters, or any situation it would be best to remove ourselves from or take evasive precautions.

Recently, of course, the very idea of an emergency alert system has taken on a vociferous tone following the January 13, 2018 false ballistic missile alert that was issued in Hawaii. It took 38 minutes for a corrective message to be delivered and in the intervening time residents tried to come to terms with information that read “Ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter.

This is not a drill.”

Much has been gleaned from this incident and we can be assured of the safeguards that are now in place, but some people have said it caused them to take a hard look at the way in which they were living.

That’s what alerts can do. They provide advice or a warning sign that we can choose to either heed or ignore.

Like our blood pressure. Or vehicle recalls. Or air quality notices. It is information available to us to act upon--or not. They tell us when we need to pay attention to our health and our safety. We have the

data but then we need to decide what to do with it.

Alerts are good things. But it makes me wonder if we would be better off if they extended just a little bit further. Perhaps an alert when we are about to spend money carelessly. An alert when we’ve exceeded a reasonable amount of time on our phones. Or an alert when someone is about to be reckless with our heart. Imagine the pain that could be avoided and the heartbreak we could escape.

Wouldn’t that be nice? Just a bit of a heads up that could spare us so much.

The truth is, though it might not come as a series of beeps or warning tones, we do have an alert system. It comes in the form of parents, bosses or friends. Sometimes grandparents or coaches or teachers. Instructors, leaders or clergy--anyone who cares enough to warn us when we are drifting or when we may not see the danger that is ahead in what we are doing. The ones who take the risk to tell us what we need to hear. Again, we can chose to acknowledge or ignore what is said, but at least someone thought enough of us to say it.

But all the alerts and good intentions of any and everyone will not keep bad things from occurring.

No alert can stop the landslide or flood. It can’t keep the hurricane or cyclone from happening. There will be devastation from earthquakes and tsunamis.

Unthinkable losses from fires and avalanches. And there will be accidents…when the unimaginable happens.

That’s when the other alert system kicks in. The one that goes off in the hearts and minds of people close to the situation…and those far removed… yet connected by a pull to one another we cannot ignore. It is the place inside of us that is filled with the need to do something--anything--to help, and simply reach out when something happens. No matter where it happens.

We never know when that alert system will go off, but the reply quickly follows. When the alarm sounds, people stand ready to respond. Perhaps that is the best Alert Ready system of all. It’s when the worst of tragedy comes face to face with the best of humanity. That’s my outlook.

Pensions decisions - six keys to a great retirement You’ve undoubtedly thought a lot about the “shape” of your retirement – but whether your plans include traveling, volunteering, starting a new career, or a myriad of other retirement dreams, the most important thing is having sufficient finances to ensure all of them become reality. If you are a member of a pension plan, now is the time to make some important decisions that will have a strong impact on the amount and length of your pension.

1. Decide when your pension payments will begin. If you have a defined benefit pension plan, your annual benefit may be reduced if you retire before reaching a certain age or completing a minimum service requirement.

However, your plan may have a bridging benefit to offset an early retirement pension reduction that is paid from the date of early retirement up to age 65 when it will stop.

2. Decide whether or not your pension benefit transfers to your spouse when you die. You can

usually: • Elect to receive a lifeonly pension that ends when you die. It will deliver a higher monthly benefit to you than a joint and last survivorship pension but will not provide a continuing benefit for your spouse after you die. The plan member’s spouse will need to sign a waiver to take this option.

• Select the joint and last survivorship option.

While your monthly benefit will be lower, the “joint and last survivor” option is usually better unless your spouse has his or her own pension, Registered Retirement Savings Plan, non-registered assets and/ or adequate insurance coverage.

3. Choosing the survivor benefit. Not all plans allow you to do this – check the details of your plan.

In most jurisdictions, the “standard” survivor benefit is 60% of the pension that was being paid to you prior to death, however some plans will include other options such as 66 2/3%, 75% and 100% survivor benefits.

Paws & Claws

4. Do you have the option of receiving your pension benefit for a guaranteed minimum number of payments? Some plans allow you to choose to receive monthly pension payments over a minimum term of 5, 10 or 15 years – meaning that even if you die prematurely, the benefit will continue to be paid for the period you selected.

5. Does your plan have a CPP (Canada Pension Plan) or OAS (Old Age Security) integration option? If so, you can choose to receive an advance on your pension in the form of larger monthly payments until age 65, when CPP and OAS benefits normally begin. This option will result in reduced monthly payments after the age of 65.

6. Do you have the option to transfer the commuted value of your pension to a locked-in account? Instead of receiving a monthly lifetime pension, you transfer the commuted value of your pension to an account you control.

Among other financial decisions, these six key pension decisions will help

ensure your retirement dreams will become reality.

To be sure your decisions are right for you, talk to your professional advisor.

Wheatland Wild Win 2018 Portage Cup

Submitted Players, coaches and fans of the Wheatland Wild 11 hockey team travelled to Portage La Prairie, MB on Easter weekend for the 2019 Portage Cup championship – with the Wild capturing the Cup. The Wheatland Wild initiation team is managed by Justin Young of Moosomin. Head Coach is Chris Light of Carlyle and assistant coaches are Dayle Wilcox of Moose Jaw and Brodie McColl of Redvers. The team is comprised of boys from various communities in Saskatchewan who were born in 2011.

The Wild’s first game was on Friday, March 30, where they allowed the opposition to score four unanswered goals in the first period. This was probably due to the fact that some of the team had never skated together before, but members of the Wild were able to come together as a team in the second and third periods to pull off a 6-5 win.

The boys had an early morning game on Saturday, March 31, which was a real nail-biter with the game ending in a shoot-out, resulting in a second win for the Wild.The team dominated in the next game, to finish first in their pool.

Sunday morning saw the Wild in the play-offs. Their semi-final game was against the second-place team from the other pool. Again, they were able to come away victorious with the final score being 15-6.

This put them in the final game, playing against the tournament’s other un-

defeated team. This game was a real barn-burner, with the score see-sawing back and forth between the two teams. With 40 seconds of regulation time remaining, Carlyle’s Owen Light came through for the team with the tie-breaking goal. The final score was 11-10, with the Wheatland Wild winners of the 2018 Portage Cup.

To All Community Organizations: The Saskatchewan Lotteries Community Grant Program is again available to community organizations.

The purpose of the program is to provide funds to volunteer organizations that provide programs and services in sport, culture and recreation. Funds are provided through the Town of Carlyle to maintain, improve and expand on programs and opportunities for people of all ages to derive the benefits from involvement in sport, culture and recreation activities.

a chance to raise Lord Stanley’s mug in midJune.

Which brings us to “Chance or No Chance” — the annual look at who could survive the grind and win the Cup. To ease the suspense on the Canadian entries, Winnipeg Jets have a chance to win it; the Maple Leafs don’t. Sorry to spoil your day, all you long-suffering Toronto fans.

Here’s how it breaks down, team by team.

(Remember, other than the fraction of a cent you paid to read this column among the thousands of other words you’re offered in this edition, this information is free.)

By conference, starting with the East: Pittsburgh — Chance — The two-time defending champs know what it takes, and Sidney Crosby’s leadership is indisputable.

Washington — Chance — The Capitals’ playoff history is spotty, but one of these years, Alexander Ovechkin is going to win more than just a Rocket Richard trophy.

Boston — Chance — The Bruins play a grinding playoff style all year and could wear down opponents. Not to mention their talent overload.

Tampa Bay — Chance — Faded down the stretch, but maybe were just conserving energy.

Columbus — No Chance — The Blue Jackets would need goalie Sergei Bobrovsky to perform miracles for this to change.

Toronto — No Chance — A rising team, for sure, but they’re still a ‘maybe next year’ entry.

New Jersey — No Chance — Taylor Hall’s shoulders are sturdy, but not that sturdy.

Philadelphia — No Chance — Like the Leafs, a rising ‘next year’ team.

Now a look at the West: Nashville — Chance — The Predators are solid all around, have Mike Fisher back in the mix, and in goal, there are few better than Pekka Rinne.

Winnipeg — Chance — Not a flashy team, but the Jets’ top six forwards and top four D are among the best in the league. Their outstanding regular season was no fluke.

Vegas — No Chance — The Golden Knights were an unbelievable success story in their inaugural season, but no way this miracle can carry on through the Continued on page 11

Groups and organizations receive more than $2 Million in charitable gaming grants The latest quarterly payment of charitable gaming grants by the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) has provided more than $2 million to more than 800 groups and organizations across the province.

“Groups and organizations that raise funds through charitable gaming activities receive additional dollars through the charitable gaming grant program,” Minister Responsible for SLGA Gene Makowsky said. “Our government is pleased to be able to help support service clubs, volunteer first responders, senior and youth groups and so many other important organizations focused on helping their communities.”

Among the grants provided by SLGA this quarter: Moose Jaw and surrounding area received $117,971; Yorkton and surrounding area received $100,377; Melfort and surrounding area received $80,884; Estevan/Weyburn and surrounding area received $48,567; and North Battleford and surrounding area received $43,789.

The quarterly grants are based on a percentage of net proceeds raised through licensed charitable gaming activities, such as bingos, raffles, breakopen tickets, and Texas Hold’em poker and Monte Carlo events.

Charitable gaming reports submitted by groups are used by SLGA to automatically calculate grants.

Protect your Elm trees: Don’t prune from April 1 to August 31 The annual ban on pruning elm trees in Saskatchewan begins April 1 and continues until August 31. This is when the elm bark beetles that spread Dutch elm disease (DED) are most active. Fresh cuts from pruning can attract the insects, increasing the chance of a DED infection.

Prune your elms before or after the ban period to keep them healthy and more resistant to all diseases, including DED. Removing dead and dying elm wood also means fewer sites for beetles to breed, and fewer beetles. Remove and dispose of DED-infected elms promptly throughout the year, including during the ban period.

Because of the danger of spreading DED, it is

Carlyle & District Food Bank

illegal to use, transport, store or sell elm firewood.

The use, transport, storage and sale of elm logs are also restricted. Dispose of elm wood promptly; check with your municipal authority for preferred disposal methods and locations.

If you decide to hire someone to prune your trees, check their qualifications. By law, commercial pruners of elm trees in Saskatchewan must complete a recognized training program or be under the supervision of someone who has. Pruning improperly can spread DED and other tree diseases.

For more information, call your local municipality or the Ministry of Environment at 1-800-5674224.

San Jose — Chance — The Sharks have come close before and have loads of playoff-hardened vets.

Colorado — No Chance — The Avalanche just squeaked into the playoffs on the final night but are still not among the upper echelon of the league.

Minnesota, Anaheim, Los Angeles — No Chance x 3. These teams all have too many holes to fill and extended periods of pressure hockey will expose the weaknesses.

One suggestion: Please don’t wager the mortgage payment or grocery money on the advice offered above. My crystal ball still hasn’t completely thawed out.

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Among this year’s Kentucky Derby hopefuls: an England-based thoroughbred named Gronkowski. No problem spotting him: He’s the only horse who spikes his jockey.”

• Randy Turner of the Winnipeg Free Press, on Twitter: ”Personally, I’m rooting for a Jets-Leafs Stanley Cup final just so Toronto fans can finally get some much-needed publicity for their hockey club.”

• Turner again: “There are only two Canadian teams in the post-season and only one of them is in the centre of the hockey universe. The other is the Toronto Maple Leafs.”

• Bob Molinaro of pilotonline.com (Hampton, Va.): “The Yankees’ Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Gary Sanchez are the greatest power trio since the Jimi Hendrix Experience.”

• Molinaro again: “Baltimore Ravens were attracted to RG3 after he impressed the team in a workout. But also because at this stage in his career he comes very cheap.”

• Norman Chad of the Washington Post: “If the future of sports viewing is millennials watching 90-second video clips on YouTube, cricket is in a world of hurt.”

• Jack Finarelli, aka The Sports Curmudgeon, on televised in-game chats with managers: “Whoever thought this up should be drawn and quartered. Whoever decided to perpetuate this should be boiled in oil.”

• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “LeBron James, when asked whom he’d vote for as MVP, said he’d vote for himself. Who’s been giving him humility lessons, Newfoundland skip Brad Gushue?”

• Jimmy Fallon of NBC, on the NCAA basketball final: “Villanova really played great. They beat Michigan 79 to 62. I’m not saying Villanova was cocky, but at halftime all five starters left for the NBA.” • Jessamyn McIntyre of ESPN Seattle, via Facebook, on free-spending L.A. adding Ndamukong Suh, Marcus Peters, Aqib Talib and Brandin Cooks this offseason: “The Rams are me in college when I got my first credit card and had no idea what 25 per cent APR meant.”

Rare coin and banknote collection:

local collector adds unique pieces to collection Kelly Running Observer Staff

Ashish Soobah of Carlyle has been collecting Canadian coins and banknotes for a year and a half. During this time he has grown his collection to 85 percent available including this very rare 1878 one dollar bill with a scalloped edge. “There are only 22 of the scalloped border in the world, of those only two are in museums and the other 20 are held by private collectors,” Soobah explaines.

“I finally found one and we have the only one in Saskatchewan.”

Local coin and banknote collector, Ashish Soobah of Carlyle, excitedly displayed new additions to his collection at a show in Manor on Saturday, April 7.

Last summer Soobah had accumulated 75 percent of Canadian coins and notes that can be collected, while he now says they have reached 85 percent of this collection and are looking to reach 90 percent for next year.

“Everyone is coming to see this note,” Soobah says as he points to an 1878 one dollar bill – the second year for the series of Dominion of Canada banknotes were issued. “It’s an extremely rare piece. They printed two different notes one with the scalloped border and the other with a lettered border. There are only 22 of the scalloped border in the world, of those only two are in museums and the other 20 are held by private collectors. I finally found one and we have the only one in Saskatchewan.”

“A register of rare varieties of Dominion of Canada 1878 one dollar notes was published in the Canadian Paper Money Society Note Registry, and another register is available at the Canadian Paper Money Forum web site lists. At the present time the issued note recorded is one of 22 registered out of 800,000 minted in Toronto.”

The oldest notes in his collection are from 1870s, which are 25 cent bank notes.

“We’re trying to finish the 25 cent banknotes, we currently have 23 in high grade and are working our way to have the complete collection in high grade.

We do have others right now that are lower grade, but are looking for a complete high grade set.”

Soobah also has three 1935 $20 bills, which de-

picts a young Queen Elizabeth “This banknote is the most favourite and wanted banknote by everyone and the price of this banknote is rising every day,” he explained.

He has also obtained a 20 cent piece from 1858, which is a very rare coin as it was the only year it was minted before Canada switched to the 25 cent piece.

He also has a rare 1947 Maple Leaf dollar: “There is a small Maple Leaf at the bottom of the ‘seven.’”

“More people are interested in coins and banknotes now,” he said.

“We’re hoping to do a show each year in the area, but we’d also like to work with schools in the area and speak to the history of Canada through the banknote; it’s something kids particularly want to know. They like seeing them and learning about the story of Canada reflected on our bank notes.”

Soobah has only been collecting for one and a half years so far. His dream is to complete a collection of 95 percent high grade banknotes and be able to bring the history of Canada through these primary sources.

“As an immigrant, I’ve gotten a lot from this country,” Soobah says. “My dream has come true and I’ve got a lot of success in this country. It’s a way to say thanks to Canada for giving me my chance to reach where I am today in life. I want to show and share everything I know about the history of the banknotes of Canada.”

“I thank my mom, Premila Soobah, and my dad, Suresh Soobah; my wife, Ria; the Duttoo family and all my friends who have always been there and encourage me in my journey.”

Alida News Submitted by Edel Cowan

On Apr. l3 there were many family members and friends from near and far who attended the Funeral Mass at Cantal and the Luncheon at Alida Hall of Theresa Boutin.

There was a fire in Alida on Apr. 3 where a house-trailer was completely destroyed. This was the residence of one of Three Star Trucking’s employees. So sorry to hear of your loss, Tiny.

Tim and Shelly Cowan spent a couple of days (Apr. 4 to 6) holidaying in Moose Jaw. While her parents were away Ainsley Cowan spent the days at the farm with her grandparents, Gray and Edel.

I received news that Laura Poulsen, had passed away Apr. 5, at the home in Ponoka, AB. Sincere sympathy is extended to Paul and Marina Poulsen and their family as well as to his sisters, Caroline and Brenda and their families and other relatives as well.

Sincere sympathy is also extended to Bob, Cecille Harrison and Harvey Harrison on the death of their brother Charley Harrison of Barwick, ON who passed away Apr. 3.

The Oxbow Knights Girls volleyball team attended a tournament in Virden on the weekend of May 31 where they won the tournament by defeating the top Virden team who hadn’t yet lost a game this year. Then this past weekend (Apr. 7 to 8) the Oxbow Black Knights 17U Girls’ team played in Saskatoon at the Sask 17U Cup # 3 and they won the bronze medal. We had a local girl – Cordelia Patton who played with this team. Congratulations Cordelia and to the team on a job well done.

On Apr. 6 a special dance was held at the Alida Hall. I’m so glad to hear that there were many friends and acquaintances that were able to attend. It has been a very long time since a dance was held here in Alida. Kudos goes to the organizers.

Well I had another good week of watching curling on the telly – It was the Worlds Men’s Curling Championship being held at Vegas. I hope you had time to enjoy some of these games as well. However I missed the gold medal game that was held Sunday evening which featured Canada vs Sweden. I understand that we (Canada) didn’t do so well, called it quits in the 8th end. Oh well that’s that way it goes at times. Therefore Sweden won the Gold, Canada got Silver and Scotland received the Bronze. Another week of good curling has come to an end. There’s one more curling event that hopefully we get a chance to see – The Worlds Mixed Doubles being held this month. We have new representatives – Kirk Muyres (SK) and Laura Crocker (AB) – Go Canada – Go. What a terrible, horrific accident that occurred this weekend where 15 members of the Humbolt Broncos were killed and 14 injured. There was a Vidual held at the Humbolt arena and was televised Sunday evening – which took my interest over curling. It was very humbling to watch – my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who is involved in any way. On that note I will sign off for this week.

Please remember to keep me posted of any happenings around our area – either call me (306-443-2496) or text (306-485-8561) or e-mail (g.cowan@ sasktel.net), appreciate all assistance that I receive. Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – drive safely and take care.

Wawota News Submitted by Myrna Olson

Easter weekend visitors with Garry Dickson were Kelly, Jodie ,Chase and Nolan Palmer from Red Deer, AB. Welcome to Johnny and Elize Steyn, Duwald and John-Re. They have moved here from Wolseley and Johnny will be working for Bryan Clements.

Welcome back to Ken Easton who was born and raised in Wawota and is now living in the Senior Apartments.

Bob and Pam Shillington of Saskatoon visited with her parents, Mel and Vivian Vail recently.

News from the holidayers: Dennis and Vicki Beauchesne have returned home after spending the winter in Sun City Arizona; Gerald and Kris Duff enjoyed a holiday to Mexico; Brent and Connie Pryce, Donovan, Genna and Noah have returned from a holiday to Cuba.

Once again the month of April is a busy month for fund-raising in Wawota.

The 4-H steak meal was held last Sunday.

Two hockey drafts this coming week , the Lions› fish fry, the Gala to raise funds for brain cancer and then on the 20th the School dance to raise funds for the playground. The Wildlife Awards and Fundraiser is on April 21st and at the end of the month a benefit for Janelle Lamontagne in her ongoing cancer treatments. Let’s make an effort to support as many of these causes as we can!!( and then city folk say... there’s nothing to do in a small town!!)

So many books, so little time..... If you have some extra time and would like to read an enjoyable book you might pick, “A Column of Fire” by Ken Follett. Although it is 908 pages it is an interesting account of the history of England 15581620.It depicts the religious conflict between the Protestants and the Catholics.

When Elizabeth becomes queen, she sets up the country’s first secret service realizing that many are against her and she needs warning about any plots or planned rebellions. After reading this book I re-read Ken Follett’s first novel, “The Eye of the Needle”. Both were enjoyable reads!

Pause for Reflection A young lady named Sally relates an experience she had in Dr. Smith’s seminary class. Dr. Smith was known for his elaborate object lessons.

One day Dr. Smith put a big target on the wall.

Students were asked to draw a picture of someone who made them very angry. All of the pictures were put on the target wall and the students were allowed to throw darts at them.

When everyone had vented their anger, some of them too enthusiastically, Dr. Smith asked the students to return to their seats and began removing the target from the wall. Underneath the target was a picture of Jesus; holes and jagged marks covered His face, and His eyes were pierced.

Dr. Smith said only these words, “In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.” Matthew 25:40. There were tears in the eyes of many students.

It seems easier for us to see Christ in the suffering and the needy. Caring for the sick and binding the wounds of others lends itself nicely

By Ken Rolheiser www.kenrolheiser.com

to “As much as you have done this to the least of my brothers you have done it unto me” (Matthew 25:40).

In “Christ in all things” Father Brendan McGuire says, “He is also in the ordinary. He is in the ordinary touch of your spouse, tonight on the way home, who says I love you. Or the look or the kiss of a parent to a child; I love you, thank you for being who you are. Or in the tender caretaking of an elderly parent.”

McGuire quotes Jesuit Greg Boyle who says, “As humans, we confine the divine.” “We limit where God works,” McGuire says. We often think “that God is in the Chalice and not in the Cup; that he is in the Church and not in the Home. That he is in our sacred liturgies and not in our ordinary Conversations.”

But we all know that our Church teaches us that God is everywhere. St. Ignatius said that, “God is in all things at all times.” Carl Jung said, “Invited or not, God is present.”

Whatever we do, we do in the presence of God.

Comfort in sorrow I had every intention of continuing in my Proverbs series this week but given the tragic circumstances of the deaths and suffering of those associated with the Humboldt Broncos bus accident, I want to express my condolences. As well, my heart’s desire is to offer comfort and strength in the face of indescribable pain. That desire has led me to draw my inspiration from the Book of Psalms.

Throughout this most widely read book in the Scriptures, there are many expressions of pain and suffering but thankfully there are also responses that speak of the availability of consolation and fortitude, even in heart-rending circumstances.

David, father of Solomon who wrote most of the Book of Proverbs, understood what it meant to suffer but he also knew how to lean heavily upon God in the direst of circumstances. While being pursued by enemies who were intent on destroying him, here are just a few of the words that he uses to describe the Lord: my fortress, my rock, my strength, my hiding place, a shelter, the One

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Whatever talents and gifts we use, we use to serve God. So living our daily lives is serving God in the domestic church of our homes.

I am reminded of Eric Liddell, the Olympic runner, whose story is featured in the Oscar-winning movie Chariots of Fire who commented, “When I run, I feel God’s pleasure.”

Sometimes our sense reel with the gifts of God that surround us. How much more would our joy be enhanced if we really knew God’s presence in all of his creation around us.

Whenever we use a God-given talent to do something well, God takes pleasure in it, and so too should we.

“God manifests himself in our lives and in our world… God never tries to overwhelm us… [God] respects our freedom… God lies everywhere, inside us and around us, almost unfelt, largely unnoticed, and easily ignored, a quiet, gentle nudge; but, if drawn upon, the ultimate stream of love and energy.” ( from “God’s quiet presence in our lives” Father Ron Rolheiser)

By Linda Wegner

who encamps around me to protect me, my deliverer and my salvation. (Psalms 31-35).

Does that mean that we are exempt from grieving? Never! An anonymous writer of Psalm 130 expressed his grief like this: “Out of the depths I have cried to you, O Lord. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.”

I realize that this is a very different contribution

but in the face of what has happened, I felt the need to share my grief, my prayers and my wishes for comfort in the face of your pain.

May the following words be a source of blessing even in the midst of sorrow: “He gives power to the faint and strengthens the powerless.” Isaiah 40:29 (New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition)

Food labelling

NEWS

By Calvin Daniels The idea of more labelling on food to provide consumers with information upon which to determine what is best to eat seems like a very logical thing.

But like most things in our world the issue of additional labelling is not a simple black and white one where more is automatically better.

Earlier this year Health Canada launched a consultation period for its proposed new front-of-packaging labelling. The proposal is part of Health Canada’s Healthy Eating Strategy and would include placing new warning labels on the front of products sold in Canada for foods that are high in saturated fats, sugars and sodium.

This appears like a brilliant idea, at least on the surface.

So too did the idea of Country of Origin Labelling (COOL), which ended up creating a major point of conflict between Canada and the United States.

The idea of COOL was one the Americans saw as an avenue to allow their consumers to make informed choices in terms of supporting American livestock producers, choosing beef, pork, and other foods with the US label attached.

Keep our environment looking

The idea seems so simple, providing a simple label to help consumers make a choice to support domestic producers.

But is beef from an animal born in Canada, but sold as a feeder calf to an American feedlot a product that originated in Canada? Or, in the U.S.?

Should consumers know what country the product was processed in, so they can opt to support all those processing jobs regardless of where the meat was actually raised?

Imagine a mixed meat product, such as bologna or salami, is the meat from a single country? Do the spices and fillers have to be from the same country to have a specific label?

Suddenly COOL becomes a great idea in theory which becomes cumbersome and ineffective when you delve into its ramifications.

Health Canada’s new initiative may prove to fall into the same massive pitfall.

On its surface foods which are high in saturated fats, sugars and sodium may seem wise to avoid, and so labelling would be an asset to consumers.

The problem is a little information can sometimes be worse than no information.

“Our concern is that many Canadians would actually put that product back down if they see a warning label on it. So it would impact our markets domestically,” said David Wiens, chair of Dairy Farmers of Manitoba (DFM) during one of the group’s four spring meetings held in Headingley, MB on April 4, in a recent story at www.producer.com Such labelling only works if the consumer fully understands that high levels of certain things are present, but do not automatically signal the food should be avoided.

The Producer story points out sodium is used in the aging of cheese. Other products such as flavoured milks and yogurts would also see labels placed on them, however products like soda with aspartame would not.

We have consumed cheeses and yogurts for generations, and their nutritional benefits are well known, even if they are high in salts or sugars.

The situation is one of consumers understanding balance is required. Thick slabs of cheddar cheese with every meal might not be the wisest choice.

Excess in most foods is not the healthiest choice, but of course that sort of information is beyond the purview of labelling.

That is why any labelling, and its potential to simply confuse consumers into questionable decisions, has to be carefully understood before implementation.

Strong job growth in March There were 4,200 new jobs created in Saskatchewan in March when compared to February (seasonally adjusted), a 0.7 per cent increase and highest percentage increase among the provinces. The national percentage increase month-tomonth was 0.2 per cent.

There were 562,700 people employed in March, 1,500 more than in March 2017. Female employment hit a record high for the month of March at 264,400.

The unemployment rate in March for the province was 5.8 per cent (seasonally adjusted), down from 6.1 per cent a year ago. Saskatchewan had the fourth lowest unemployment rate among provinces in March. Nationally, the unemployment rate was also 5.8 per cent.

“The increase in job numbers is really good news for the Saskatchewan economy,” Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “Recent indicators showing that Saskatchewan leads the nation in growth in manufacturing sales in January, and urban housing starts over the first two months of the year, in addition to month-to-month job growth in March, confirms our economy is positioned for growth in 2018.”

Other March highlights include: Major year-over-year gains were reported for health care and social assistance up 2,800; transportation and warehousing up 2,000; other services up 1,700; Youth unemployment rate was the third lowest among provinces at 11 per cent (seasonally adjusted).

It was a repeat of their Easter morning music. Thank you for making our Easter so joyful.

May Mary Kippan

July 20, 1930 - March 21, 2018 Surrounded by loving family members, May Mary Kippan, age 87, passed away peacefully on March 21, 2018 at St. Anne’s Residence in Saskatoon. May was born July 20, 1930 in Naicam, Saskatchewan, the daughter of Michael and Bernice McInnery. She attended school in Naicam. After the passing of her mother when May was only 15 years old, she helped to care for her younger sister Joyce and brother Lloyd. As a young lady she worked as a house keeping assistant in Grenfell, Balcarres and Redvers prior to coming to Carlyle to work at he home of Duncan and Gertie Kippan. It was at the Kippan farm that she met the man who would become her husband. Hugh and May were married in 1952. Together they raised a family of �ive children, while farming northwest of Carlyle at the foothills of the Moose Mountains. In 1991 May and Hugh moved into Carlyle.

Throughout her life, May’s passion was being a home maker, in the true sense. Her home and her family’s wellbeing were very important to her. She was a caring thoughtful person, and went about making the world a better place for those around her. Her brother-in-law Jim, was a regular guest in May and Hugh’s home, for everyday meals and family and birthday celebrations. The kitchen table often expanded to include many extended family gatherings and holiday celebrations. May enjoyed making summer picnics at Little Kennosee Lake and harvest suppers in the �ield a family memory.

Her homemaking skills included tending to a large garden and as well as raising chickens, picking berries in the foothills, jam and jelly making and preserving vegetables. She was an excellent cook and skilled at baking and breadmaking. She also sewed for her girls, knit many Siwash sweaters, and made quilts and toys for her grandchildren. May passed these skills and interests onto her children and grandchildren.

In her relaxing time May enjoyed playing cards with friend and neighbours in the North Carlyle Card Party Club. This pastime gave her much pleasure in her later years as she played a good game of rummy with her grandchildren and children when they came for visits.

May was a member of the Carlyle UCW and the Rebekahs and volunteered as well.

May was a compassionate person who brightened the day of people who were not able to get out of their home .She was a patient caregiver to her husband as his health failed. After his passing , May remained in her home till her mobility made it necessary to move closer to family in Saskatoon in November 2010.

She enjoyed regualar visits from her children and grandchildren and just over three years ago became a great grandmother. It gave her great joy to these young people.

May was predeceased by her husband Hugh in 1997 and their infant son in1958 as well as her parents Michael and |Bernice McInnerny, her brothers Ted, Dick, Norman, Cliff and Lloyd.and sisters Clara and Ethel. She was also predeceased by her brothersin –law Jim and Jack Kippan, sisters-in-law Garnette Murray, and Helen Ford and their spouses, Ken Murray and William Ford. Grace Kippan, wife of Jack passed away March 27,2018.

May leaves to treasure a lifetime of memories, her �ive children, Elaine (Tony) Stella of Victoria Marjorie (Keith) Paulson of Foam Lake, Sask. and their children Jennifer (Jonathon ) Webb and sons Jack and Jesse of Emerald Park, Terri Lynn (Thomas) Friesen of Saskatoon, Trisha Paulson of Saskatoon, and Ian Paulson and his wife Taylor Sobkowicz of Saskatoon; Donald Kippan and his partner Linda Urguhart of Vanderhoof, BC; Donna (Ward) Stene and their children Brittany, Stefanie, and Matthew of Martensville and Darlene (Don) Wright and their children Desiree, Danielle and Deanna of Saskatoon.

May is survived by her sister Joyce Plamondon of Peace River, AB. and sister in law Karen Hilmo of Mission, BC.and many nieces and nephews.

Funeral services were held at Carlyle United Church on March 28, 2018 followed by internment at Glenn Morris Cemetery.

The family wish to thank all who attended the service and visited at lunch. A special thank you to Minister, Sandy Dalziel, the choir members as well as Christy Jarvis for her assistance and the UCW for the lunch.

Former Manor resident awarded Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers

Former Manor resident, Aubrey Callan is pictured here with Governor General Julie Payette at a Rideau Hall Ceremony which took place in March. There, Callan was awarded the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers by the Governor General, for his decades of volunteer service on behalf of Canada’s veterans. Callan currently resides Photo submitted in Mountain, Ontario.

Submitted by Sandra (Callan) Dean Aubrey Callan, formerly of Manor and now residing in Mountain, Ontario has been presented with the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers by Governor General Julie Payette at a March ceremony at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. The Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers recognizes the exceptional volunteer achievements of Canadians from across the country in many fields.

As an official Canadian honour, thr Medal for Volunteers incorporates and replaces the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award. The medal builds on the legacy and spirit of the Caring Canadian Award by honouring the commitment and dedication of volunteers.

Petty Officer 1st Class Aubrey Callan, C.D. has volunteered with the Royal Canadian Legion and numerous civic organizations dedicated to serving veterans in his community for the past 40 years. This award is a well-deserved acknowledgement of Aubrey’s commitment to the Legion and to veterans over many decades and is a great achievement in itself, as the criteria for the medal are very demanding. Candidates must have demonstrted an exemplary commitment through their dedicated volunteerism.

Aubrey is the son of the late John and Audrey Callan. He was born and raised in Manor, Saskatchewan. Aubrey joined the Royal Canadian Navy in 1958. His sisters, Arlene, Sharon and Sandra are especially proud of Aubrey and appreciate that his committment and dedication to the veterans of Canada’s military has been acknowledged.
