An Evening of Inspiration: Creative Tables for Cancer boasts record attendance Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Although it is approaching a decade, Darlene Olsen’s Creative Tables for Cancer fundraiser continues to be an evening of inspiration and entertainment that consistently sells out-and is forced to turn away both eager attendees and potential table hosts, year after year.

The 2016 edition of Creative Tables-its ninthfeatured a record number of elaborately-themed tables that filled both the stage and floor of Arcola’s Prairie Place Hall, where hundreds of women (and a few men) gathered for an evening of fun, fine dining, fellowship and fundraising for the ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ program and the Moose Mountain Medical Recruitment Committee. This year, there was a wait list of 60 individuals wishing to attend the fundraiser, and Olsen said she was also forced to turn down many who were willing to decorate and host an entire table of between eight to 10 diners.

“If anyone wants to host a table next year, please get in touch with me tonight or as soon as possible,” Olsen told the hundreds in attendance. “I think we’re looking at an absolutely final deadline of February for next fall’s Creative Tables, if we don’t fill up before then.”

Even in a tough economy, the event’s popularity continues unabated.

“It’s a fun event and it’s a great cause,” says first-time hostess, Jackie Doty of Kenosee Lake, who presided over an India-themed table.

Veteran hostess and breast cancer survivor, Delores Cutler of Carlyle agrees, adding: “I believe in the cause; I’ve been there, done that.”

One of this year’s special guests was Sunita Prasad of the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation in Missisauga, Ontario, who described Olsen as “A force to be reckoned with.”

“Darlene’s commitment to women and her commitment to this event is huge,” says Prasad.

“Her work with ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ isn’t about selling (Mary Kay) product. The product is just a vehicle that sets everything in motion. On one level, it allows her to fundraise and maximize those dollars, because The Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation donates 96 cents of every dollar raised directly to the charitable causes we support-which in addition to ‘Look Good, Feel Better’, also include supporting women who are experiencing domestic violence.”

Nicole Currie of Carlyle’s The Pearl Boutique is a faithful supporter of Arcola’s Creative Tables for Cancer fundraiser. At this year’s event, Currie hugged founder Darlene Olsen and urged those in attendance to give Olsen and her supporters a standing ovation in recognition of the work they do to benefit the ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ program, which empowers women fighting cancer to manage the effects of the illness. “(Look Good, Feel Better) does more for these women in one hour than you can even imagine,” says Currie. “And Darlene and her helpers are an absolute blessing! Everyone, the absolute least we can do is stand up and raise this roof!”

“On another level, Darlene’s hands-on work directly benefits women in Saskatchewan when she acts as a Team Leader at the (Allan Blair) Cancer Centre in Regina.”

Nicole Currie of Carlyle is a fervent supporter of Olsen’s efforts and told the crowd about witnessing Olsen and ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ volunteers in

action when she accompanied a friend who was undergoing cancer treatment to a session in Regina.

The program-which is free of charge- is dedicated to empowering women to manage the effects of cancer and cancer treatments on their appearance.

This year’s Creative Tables for Cancer guest speaker was Shannon Shakotko of Forget. Shannon’s “Beloved”-her husband, Don-passed away just over a year ago from cancer. Shannon’s speech and accompanying singalong was a moving testament to her husband and the story of his life and their life together. She told the audience: “If Don were here to tell us one thing tonight, he’d say, ‘Pay attention! Listen to your life.” Shakotko is pictured receiving a standing ovation. “(Look Good, Feel Better) does more for these women in one hour than you can imagine,” says Currie.

“And Darlene and her helpers are an absolute blessing!”

Although Olsen received a standing ovation for her efforts, she insists: “It’s not about me. I get much more back volunteering than I give. And I couldn’t do any of it without the help of many, many other people.”

Like Olsen, one of those “other people” also received a standing ovation for her moving and heartfelt contribution to the evening. Shannon Shakotko of Forget spoke-and led a singalong-as a tribute to her “Beloved”-her husband, Don, who passed away from cancer just over a year ago.

Shakotko is the first Creative Tables guest speaker who spoke-not as a cancer survivor-but as a caregiver to a loved one who has the disease.

Her emotional and poignant speech addressed the theme of story and included a singalong which hinted at the story of the couple’s relationship. Shakotko said that like Jame’s Joyce’s classic novel Finnegan’s Wakewhich ends mid-sentence: “That’s how my beloved ended his big life, too.”

“But life is no less meaningful with fewer chapters,” added Shakotko and she delivered an uplifting and though-provoking dedication to her “Beloved” which she called, “My version of his credo- everything I needed to learn about life, I learned from my dying husband.”

She summed up by saying: “If Don were here to tell us one thing tonight, he’d say: ‘Pay attention! Listen to your life.’”

Throughout the evening Olsen thanked individuals, businesses, organizations “and everyone who helps make Creative Tables for Cancer happen every year.”

“What I feel like this is, is people coming together who really care about other people. If all of us work together, miracles can happen.”

Mummy Pumpkin Cookies 2 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS INGREDIENTS For the Crust : - 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter cut into cubeschilled - 2 1/2 cups allpurpose flour - 1 tsp salt - 1 tsp sugar - 1/4 cup ice water (or you can use 1 package Refrigerated Pie Crust (2 crusts)) For filling and topping; 3/4 cup reduced pumpkin puree (place 1 cup pumpkin puree on several layers of paper towel, wrap and press to soak excess moisture until you get 3/4 cup pumpkin puree) 2 oz cream cheese -slightly softened 2 tablespoon packed light-brown sugar 2 tablespoon granulated sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon allspice 1 egg yolk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 egg white-lightly beaten 1/2 tablespoon water

1. To make the crust pulse together in a food processor flour, salt and sugar, then add butter and pulse until look like a coarse meal (don’t over-process, just pulse until butter is no longer in large pieces). Add chilled water 1-2 tablespoon at the time and pulse several times( if it doesn’t come together in clumps add remaining water). If you don’t have a food processor you can make the dough using two fork or pastry blender. Gather dough onto working surface, divide into two portions, shape each into 5-inch disk, cover with plastic wrap and chill 1 hour.

2. To make the pumpkin pie filling in a bowl stir together cream cheese, granulated sugar and brown sugar to blend. Add reduced pumpkin puree to cream cheese mixture along with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice. Mix in egg yolk and vanilla extract. Cover bowl and chill until ready to assemble the cookies.

3. Preheat oven to 375 F and line large baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.

4. To assemble the mummies roll out first disk of the dough onto a floured surface to about 13 x 11-inch rectangle. If the edges start to crack a little when rolling, seal them and continue rolling. Trim edges to get straight edges, then cut into rectangles( I made nine 4x3 rectangles, but you can make them smaller or larger, what ever you prefer) Roll out second dough disc and cut into 1/2 inch stripes.

5. Arrange the rectangles, spaced apart on prepared baking sheet and spread heaping 1 1/2-2 tablespoons of pumpkin pie filling onto each rectangle, leaving rim on all sides uncoated. Brush uncoated edges with the mixture of lightly beaten egg white and 1 Tbsp water. Top with strips to create mummy look, then seal edges with your fingertips, and trim the excess of the stripes. Brush the stripes with egg whites and sprinkle with mixture of 2 Tbsp sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon 6. Bake until golden brown about 20 minutes.

Stick candy eyes onto cooled mummies.

First annual Arcola Prairie Place Celebrity Sports Dinner and Auction surpassed expectations Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Arcola Prairie Place Celebrity Sports Dinner and Auction hosted on Saturday, Oct. 15, was a success.

President of the Rink Board, Cooper Ryan, was appreciative of the support the event received, “It went really well. We had a lot more people come out than we had first expected. We were a little bit nervous about how it would go or what to expect, but we had a great turn-out.”

Approximately 200 people were present for the evening which included a prime rib dinner, auction, and two retired NHL players: Brad May and Rob Ray. May and Ray jerseys were both auctioned off and with the auctioned jerseys came the opportunity to sit and eat your meal with the NHL enforcers.

Following the delicious meal came the entertainment. Master of Ceremonies for the evening, Trevor Gowan, spoke with Rob Ray and Brad May on-stage in what was called the “Hot Seat.” The former players spoke of their lives and told stories about their NHL careers, while also giving their thoughts on the current landscape of the NHL. They both remember their first NHL games fondly.

“It was a great game, I scored on my first shot of the game,” May remembered.

While, Ray added, bantering with May, “I scored on my first shot, first shift, in my first game.”

As enforcers in the NHL, the topic of big hits and fighting in the sport was discussed.

“Hitting, hard hitting, should be in the game,” May said. “Concussions are serious, injuries are serious, because of that accountability and responsibility need to be there too. You wanted to hurt the guy across from you but you never wanted to injure them.”

“I’d fight my mom to get to a Stanley Cup, she’d win, but that was the mentality that you’d be going out there with.”

May had played on eight teams in seven cities, having played for Vancouver twice, explaining that he really enjoys the nomadic type of lifestyle although the first time he was traded it was difficult.

Ray on the other hand had played for the Buffalo Sabres for much of his career had only played for two teams.

Laughter ensued as May explained, jokingly that he was wanted, while Ray lightheartedly nodded and countered that he did his job.

Listening to the two former players speak though, it became evident that their job as enforcers in the NHL is one of the past and it was one which took a certain kind of mentality.

“I miss hockey without a doubt, but I can still skate, shoot, and play; but, I can never fight again and it sounds strange but I miss it, I loved it. I don’t

that intensity on and off. Some nights you’d get so into it that it would feel like there was nobody else around. You had to learn how to deal with it because you’d get a tap on your shoulder and it’d be time to go. There would be guys that would be playing for a year or two, but they just didn’t have the sense of when to turn it on, when not to, and who to do it with.”

When asked who the Rob Ray and Brad May’s are of today, both replied that their position on the ice as enforcers are gone.

“In this day and age a coach would never promote a fight,” May said.

While Ray added, “There’s not that player in the game anymore. The rules are different and it’s really a different game, I don’t know if you can even compare them.”

For Brad May, his efforts in the NHL brought him to the Stanley Cup playoffs with the Buffalo Sabres and one of his favourite moments was heading past the blue line carrying the puck: “I had worked so hard on this one move, and I wasn’t really getting it, but I was working hard on it and I never gave up on it. So we’re in the game, and I’ve done it, I’ve just beat Ray Bourque on the blue line, which doesn’t happen, and I scored a goal in playoffs.”

The score had been tied until that point at 5-5 when the rush took place and Rick Jeanneret, the announcer of the Sabres, began chanting “May Day! May Day! May Day!” For Ray, he scored on his first shot of his first shift of his first game and was also happy to say that he scored in his final game as well.

After a year-long hiatus due to a medical issue, singer-songwriter Lorri Solomon-Matthewson is back-and she’s hard at work on material for a new album and tour. The project’s working title is “Mortified” in honour of her friend, Moose Mountain-area potter, Gerald Morton, who passed away in 2014.

“Mort was an unrepentant artist,” says SolomonMatthewson. “That’s what he did. And this project is a nod to the idea of an artist who is unflinching.”

“I loved Mort,” she continues, holding a pottery cast of the potter’s face and a vintage edition of American writer Dorothy Parker’s poems. “Mort would cook fish and this (book) was his- I would read this to him. He said to me ‘You should read this.’ I borrowed it, but he ended up giving it to me.”

“To me, Mort was an artist and I own a lot of his work. The dishes I use every day, all day- all Mort’s.

I like that his hands were on them, creating them.”

“There is an energy to his pottery,” adds Solomon-Matthewson. “I learned that there’s the art and the craft. They’re both vaild forms of expression. For me, it’s more about the art as opposed to the craft, but you need both. That’s something I learned from Mort.”

Although ‘Mortified’ is a working title for Solomon-Matthewson’s next project (“It could change”), she says that the artistic inspiration her late friend provided her with permeates the nearly 30 songs she will choose from to decide the CD’s final cuts.

“Of course, there’s a song about Mort,” smiles Solomon-Matthewson. “It’s called ‘Mort’s Toast.’”

In this tribute to her friend, SolomonMatthewson references Morton’s iconic Saskatchewan pottery, as well as homey pleasures, writing: “And there’s marshmallow cookies, like you had at your mom’s/ Piled in your potter’s dish.”

“This one might be (Mort’s) favourite,” she says, of another verse with an irreverent twist on Morton’s peace being disturbed by “the park police” in a place where “the laws and the rules all make sense...”

Another person whom Solomon-Matthewson credits with her return to music is her husband Greg Matthewson.

“When I was sick, I almost sold my gear,” she says. “‘The Mister’ told me: ‘You don’t have to do that now; wait until you get better and see how you feel then.’”

“You go through a phase in writing songs where you only present the ones that don’t offend,” adds SolomonMatthewson.

“You

don’t want to ruffle feathers.” “ But being sick reminded me that life is short.

Before, I thought I had a lot of time,” says the nowhealthy performer. “But now there’s so much more urgency to it all.”

Case in point: Solomon-Matthewson says much of the new material she’s currently writing is similar in tone to her song ‘I Don’t Have To Be Nice’, from her second CD ‘Two Days In June.’

“But I’ve been renewing things as far as songwriting goes. I’m back into journalling, back into writing,” she continues. “It’s a process. I’ve been bouncing some songs around lyrically and bouncing some around musically, but definitely, there will be more songs like ‘I Don’t Have To Be Nice.’”

“Lately, I’ve been listening to old blues stuff and swing standards. Lyrically, they’re just better than what’s played on mainstream radio today. They say stuff, and that’s what I want to continue to do.”

“But I want to stress that this CD isn’t a downer,” adds Solomon-Matthewson. “It’s irreverent, funny and less censored than anything I’ve done before.”

Born in Ottawa, Solomon-Matthewson grew up on a farm near Manor. ‘Barn Went Flat’ is a song which came about after the singer-songwriter revisited her childhood home.

“Recently, someone burned down my parents’ old farmhouse near Manor,” she says. “Mom and Dad are both gone now and nobody’s living there, but even before it burned down, someone went out there and broke all of the windows in the house.

I saw it right after that and the song, ‘Barn Went Flat’ was the result of that experience.”

She writes: ‘I said I’d never go back, but last week I did/ Dug my toe in the dirt like when I was a kid...’

‘Windows smashed out, swing sets junk/Waisthigh weeds around the water pump/Clothes line pole but there is no line/A bumper crop of thistle from the garden this time.’

Solomon-Matthewson says for her, the writing process is ongoing. “ I always research, write and perform,” she says.

“I usually write longhand, because I carry a journal with me and I always have a notebook. The lyrics end up on my computer, simply because I have them right up on the screen, when I’m figuring out where the chords go.”

Solomon-Matthewson’s upcoming recording will be her third.

“The first one was recorded at CBC Radio One in Regina,” she says. “The second one was recorded at home. This one-the third- will be wherever the producer says we’ll record. And I’m really hoping that producer will be Ken Hamm.”

“I’m following the process that the CBC used,” adds Solomon-Mattweson. “With the first (album), there were 24 to 30 potential songs. That was my rough draft. Then we crowd-tested them and the CBC sent them to my producer. It’s not a matter of pushing out a product, but I’m tentatively planning a ‘test-tour’ to try out which songs will make it onto the CD and then, I’m hoping to do a small tour after that. But touring all depends on when the CD is finished.”

Solomon-Matthewson says a brief return to the stage in August underscored her commitment to performing live.

“This summer, I was booked to perform at a place called Hillbilly Hoedown outside Prince Albert,” she says. “I invited a friend to come along and perform with me because I hadn’t played in a year and I was terrified. But it was a good, warm place and I felt the encouragement.”

“I play every day for the joy of it,” says SolomonMatthewson. “We race each other to the bottom when we don’t value what we do.”

“When I was sick, I felt like I had to get back to music. It was a case of ‘If you’re going to waste the gift; we’re going to take it from you.’”

“Now, getting back to music feels like coming home.”

Heward haunted rink a “spook”-tacular event Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Heward haunted house has been setting up since Aug. 17, to create a scary/fun experience heading into Hallowe’en.

“Every Sunday we would meet and create new stuff and concepts, come up with new scares and new room ideas,” Sarah Dixon, with the Heward Parks and Recreation Board, explained. “We have around five or six volunteers that help with set up, some new and some that have been here since the concept started.”

The event has become a must attend in the area for those who enjoy Hallowe’en festivities and being spooked in a safe, fun place. It is located at the Heward Rink on Main Street in Heward just west of Stoughton on Hwy 33.

The event begins on Oct. 28 and will be open from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.

October 29 will follow the same format, being open from 7-11 p.m., while it will be open for the afternoon of Oct. 30 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The evening walks through the spooky spot will be scariest on Oct. 28 and 29, and will be less frightening during the afternoon on Oct. 30.

“We always have new concepts, fresh ideas, different room layouts; sometimes we bring back an idea that worked well and rework it, trust me we always have a trick or two up our sleeves,” Dixon explained. “We never have the exact same two years in a row.”

Keeping the mystery, Dixon is excited for those who enjoy haunted houses to come out and see what the Heward Rec Board has set up this year.

Cost for the event is $10 for anyone over 12-years-old and $5 for kids 12-years-old and under. New this year, however, is a limited sale on Express Passes.

“You can contact us on either of our Facebook Pages [Heward Haunted Rink or Heward Haunted House 2016], express passes are $20 each and only thirty are being sold for each Friday and Saturday, and they put you right to the front of the line!”

Last year the Heward Haunted Rink saw over 500 people enjoy the work they put into the event. Something which is worked hard on by many as a way to fundraise for the Heward Parks and Recreation Board.

“A huge shout out to the board that has had many trials and triumphs in the last year,” Dixon said.

“We may be a small board but the amount of time that everyone gives up to volunteer and give back to their community is amazing, without the board or volunteers we would not be able to do this. A thanks to the Heward stone church board for running our concession for the event and as well as to the Stoughton Demo Club for doing security for us. We firmly believe that all the different groups should work together in our community as it benefits us all.”

Dixon added that Heward Parks and Rec is “currently working on and in the process of updating all of our facilities and park. We have a bunch of quotes for work that needs to be done this spring, but quickly realized that we would need much more readily available funds to start some of the projects. Currently our skating rink is being levelled, gravelled, and we have purchased new puck board to be installed after the haunted house.”

The Heward Haunted Rink is being hosted on Friday, Oct. 28, and Saturday, Oct. 29, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. for the spookiest rounds through the rink.

As he thought back to what was a definitive highlight, May explained that one of the surreal aspects of playing for the Sabres with Ray was that the entire crowd would start chanting “We want Ray!” if they wanted a

FCC Drive Away Hunger

Kelly Running Observer Staff

Farm Credit Canada (FCC) conducted its 13th annual FCC Drive Away Hunger. The Carlyle office recently collected food in partnership with Arcola School and will be collecting in partnership with Carlyle Elementary School.

“Food is a basic need for every one of us, yet not everyone is fortunate to have enough to eat,” said Michale Hoffort, FCC president and CEO, in a press release. “We’re proud to bring together partners from across Canada’s agriculture and agrifood industry to provide food to people in our communities who need it most – especially children.”

“FCC Drive Away Hunger is an excellent example of how FCC and Canadian agriculture contribute to their communities and those in need,” Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay said. “I commend FCC for leading this national food drive and Canadian farmers for their continued generosity and support for food banks across the country.”

“I’m truly touched by the amount of support we see across Canada,” said Hoffart. “‘We believe in this cause and we’re thankful to our customers and partners who take action to help fill empty plates,’ noting that hunger touches nearly 850,000 Canadians each month, many of whom are children.” He explained in the press release.

Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed Oct.1 6-22 as Education Week in Saskatchewan Deputy Premier and Education Minister Don Morgan was at École Lakeview School in Saskatoon to celebrate with staff and students.

“The future of our province depends on having an educated and skilled workforce and the work of preparing our youth for that future is happening every day in our schools,” Morgan said. “This fall, I had the opportunity to visit schools across the province, to meet staff and students, and to see firsthand the important work that goes into supporting student success. I encourage all residents to join me in celebrating our students and education professionals this week.”

This year’s theme, Celebrating Today, Preparing for Tomorrow, is an opportunity to recognize the student achievement and teaching excellence that occurs every day in Saskatchewan schools.

The theme also highlights the important role of education in preparing students for their future, starting with graduation.

“Graduation is an important step toward building a bright future,” Morgan said. “One of the key goals in our government’s Plan for Growth and our Education Sector’s Strategic Plan is to lead the country in grad rates by June 2020.”

Education Week has been proclaimed by the province since 1987, as a way to celebrate student achievement and acknowledge the efforts of teachers, education assistants, administrative personnel, library technicians, custodians, bus drivers and Under the provisions of The Alcohol and Gaming Regulations Act, 1997

maintenance workers.

“On behalf of SEIU-West, we are very proud to celebrate the incredible work done every day by workers in the education sector,” SEIU-West President Barbara Cape said. “Our members are dedicated, skilled professionals who enhance the learning environment for students across the province. From challenges like physical or learning disabilities to new Canadians learning our language and customs, each member of the education team supports and builds on the learning path of our students. Let’s all celebrate the great work done by all our education providers!”

“Every day teachers and school staff inspire and support students to reach their fullest potential,” Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation President Patrick Maze said. “Education Week provides an important opportunity to celebrate the collaboration, dedication and commitment of students, teachers and other education professionals in schools and classrooms across the province.”

Schools and school divisions across the province will host activities and events throughout the week.

Quote of the Week . . .

“Change your thoughts and you change your world”

- Norman Vincent Peale

All this for less than thirty cents

The box sat enticingly on the teacher’s desk with the name of the book company emblazoned on the sides. The book orders we had submitted a few weeks before had arrived and we were now waiting for the teacher to break open the box and distribute the books.

My parents, who always encouraged my love of reading, let me select titles from the colourful Shelley Luedtke catalogues we would peruse every few weeks. The books would be quickly read and then added to burgeoning book shelves which would soon need dusting, sorting and organizing.

I loved reading--and I loved my books. Not just the ones I purchased or were given to me (oh, how I loved my Nancy Drew collection) but the ones borrowed from libraries. I quickly realized that although I loved owning books, visiting libraries allowed me to have a never-ending and continually changing supply of stories and adventures.

The first library dates back to 2600 BC and was a collection of 30,000 clay tablets. The largest and most significant library of the ancient world was the Library of Alexandria in Egypt which not only housed an impressive collection of scrolls but was an architectural wonder.

Those early libraries evolved from use by government and church officials only, to ownership by wealthy patrons, to the establishment of national libraries which eventually became the lending libraries we are familiar with today. In 1835 a motion in the United Kingdom allowed for a tax to be collected to set up libraries and museums and this set a precedent for other places. Whether individual tax payers utilize them or not, they are contributing to a profoundly impacting segment of society. That is where the unfortunate part lies; not that we contribute to it--but that far too often we ignore it.

In Canada the earliest libraries were private collections belonging to immigrants from Europe.

Libraries were started in settlements, as well as fur trade and military posts and out of that grew a commitment to establishing libraries in schools, churches and community spaces, recognizing that libraries contributed to social good.

The space welcomes all--regardless of age, education or income. The shelves allow for an unhurried examination of familiar and, perhaps, not so familiar authors. You can select as many tittles as you can carry and the only cost involved is the time spent exploring the literary offerings. You can come back again and again to read as many different books by as many different authors representing as many different genres as you could possibly imagine.

It is, in some ways, an embarrassment of riches.

While we have access to more books than we would ever be able to make use of, there are many places where you would be hard pressed to find a single one.

That’s why extraordinary efforts are being undertaken to try and bring books to those places because those behind the efforts know the power of literacy.

A recent survey indicated that although more than half of Canadian households spend no money on books, there are more than 360 million in-person visits made to libraries across Canada each year.

Libraries have and will continue to adapt and innovate as they remain the storehouses of history and culture, and the centre of knowledge navigation--all for 28 cents per day per taxpayer.

Would you like to relieve stress, improve communication, try new skills, explore other cultures, learn languages, check out movies, and access countless digital resources? Visit your nearest library and celebrate Library Week. You will quickly discover that what is there is worth far more than a quarter.

That’s my outlook.

The

Appreciating nature and animals A German philosopher and central figure of modern philosophy once said, “He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men.

We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.”

That man was Immanuel Kant.

He argued that the human mind creates the structure of human experience and that Kelly Running reason is the source of morality.

Observer Staff His views on people dealing with animals is something that has also endured over 100 years. Why? Because I think it is true and I know many others do as well.

A pet, just like a child, depends on you for everything. A pet fish needs to be fed and its bowl cleaned or else it will die. Other animals might scavenge and survive if left on their own, but how you treat an animal can tell a lot about a person. I don’t really like cats, for the most part, there’s some lovely cats out there, but I’m more of a dog person.

However, I don’t wish any cat is sent outside in the -40 degree weather we have and kicked off porch steps, but I’ve seen it done. That lucky cat was taken in by someone with compassion and now it enjoys staying in a house and receiving regular meals… it’s gone outside once in three years and only because it wanted to be near its people who were working on a small deck area outside the glass window the cat usually looks out.

When I was in grade 11, I had a dog that I loved. She was a sweetheart. She loved to cuddle and was quite the funny character. She got along with humans and our cats, but otherwise she was very protective of the yard, no other animals were allowed in. This included coyotes, which she would be the victor of any scuffle… until one day my family got back from a volleyball tournament, Provincials in Prince Albert, I still remember getting home and being devastated that she was missing. See, a couple weeks before my mom had heard a dog fight outside and opened the door to the house, my dog came running in as fast as she could, but about five coyotes were out there.

I don’t know what happened to her, but I strongly suspect the coyotes finally won the fight. We looked for her but couldn’t find her anywhere. Was I mad at the coyotes? Yes. But, if I had come across an injured baby coyote the next year would I have wanted to save it? Yes. A few years ago I fell in love with a feather painting of Cheryl Winkler’s from the Moose Mountain R n R, I thought the little fellow was a fox, but when I began talking to Cheryl I discovered that Rusty – his name, an animal she had rehabilitated – was in fact a coyote. She asked me if I still wanted the painting because some people just can’t love a coyote.

I did think about it for a moment, but coyotes are a part of nature. They’re part of Saskatchewan and the stories I’ve heard of Coyote from First Nations are wonderful stories typically portraying him as a trickster… which, Rusty had tricked me, I had thought he was a fox initially and I smiled. I bought the painting.

Personally, I think what Cheryl does is a wonderful thing. Nature is beautiful and all animals deserve a chance to live, especially when it’s because of humans a lot of them are injured. She has a huge heart. Can animals be pests? Yes. But there are other steps you can take to remove them from your yard than killing them. She not only rehabilitates injured animals, but she has a wealth of knowledge for how to live in harmony with nature.

All animals have value, especially native species.

No, I’m not a vegan. I’m thankful to those animals which provide me sustenance. But, if they don’t have to die, then let them live.

For me, I absolutely hate spiders, there’s something about them that I just don’t like. But, that doesn’t mean I go around killing every single spider I see. In fact I marvel at the work that they put into their webs and there’s something beautiful about a web covered in morning dew. Will I ever like spiders, not a chance, but I can appreciate them in my own funny way.

So, appreciate nature. You might not like coyotes for a variety of reasons, but they are a part of our world as are raccoons, skunks, badgers, eagles, deer, antelope, etc…

Seeing things differently . . .

Cameras in the courtroom?

Kelly Running Observer Staff

Growing up I remember the television show Judge Judy, I think it’s still on, but there seemed to be a fad of watching television shows of actual cases being tried by real judges. Judge Judy was one, People’s Court another. I’d watch and wonder why you’d ever want to have your case tried in front of the entire country.

In Canada, we’re just starting to look at moving towards cameras in court rooms in order to live stream the goings on in the court. Obviously it’s not going to become a television show like those in the States, but it was the first thing that came to mind when I heard about cameras in the court room.

Currently the rule in Canada is to keep the cameras out of the court room; court proceedings are not televised. Nor can they be recorded in any way, other than the court stenographer or with pen and paper. Over the years, however, there have been exceptions. This includes hearings since the mid-1990s being broadcast from the Supreme Court of Canada, while certain courts will occasionally allow cameras in Manitoba.

Additionally the Federal Court of Appeal, Nova Scotia Court of Appeal, and the B.C. Supreme Court have all been involved in a variety of different pilot projects introducing cameras to the courtroom.

These public inquiries and royal commissions weren’t criminal trials though. Although there have been precedents set including the closing arguments in B.C. in 2000 of a trial involving nine Korean sailors accused of human smuggling. A judge granted permission for this portion of the trial to air and it did.

Currently the question has come up regarding a trial in Alberta and cameras were allowed in the judge’s ruling, so the verdict in the Travis Vader murder was broadcast.

In Canada our courts are open to the public, in Carlyle for example you can walk into court – quietly – and take a seat, listening and watching what’s going on. But, what happens in a court can influence people. If this person has been charged with crime “x” then even if they aren’t convicted, that will stick in your mind as associating with that person.

A witness testifying doesn’t want that kind of publicity either. Yes, people might know their name, but there could be dozens of John Smiths out there.

Knowing the very little I’ve read and watched of American court, it’s not a good idea. Oftentimes people will play up to the camera and a case where a jury has made a decision is all of a sudden put under scrutiny by the entire country. Jurors as well, I would assume, would want anonymity. It’s a burden of a job to do and then being televised across the country? No thank you.

I sometimes watch Law and Order: SVU, it does make for good TV… but should our justice system be looking to make good television? No. It should be focused on ensuring justice is brought and if televising the courtroom could potentially put in danger witnesses, the accused who was acquitted but whom the audience that watched on TV don’t agree with, etc…

The media is powerful. In fact look at the clown craze lately. I’m sure the only reason it’s exploded and people all around the world are wearing clown suits are to get in on that band wagon, one that media has given attention to and therefore continued the phenomenon. The same thing could happen regarding court cases and I don’t think that’s right.

Editor’s Note . . .

The views expressed in “Seeing things differently” are for discussion purposes and are not necessarily the views of the writers.

Court TV in Canada?

Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Recently, an Alberta court allowed news cameras to broadcast the verdict in the case of accused double-murderer Travis Vader, on trial for the murders of St. Albert retirees Lyle and Marie McCann in July 2010. The case of the missing couple-both in their seventies- captured the attention of the Canadian public when their burned-out motorhome was found after they set out for a family camping trip in British Columbia.

They didn’t make it to their destination and their bodies have not been found.

The prolonged police investigation eventually resulted in Vader being charged with two counts of first-degree murder. To say he was an unsympathetic defendant would be an understatement. To cite a few examples, Vader was routinely late for court- not only wasting time and causing inconvenience to numerous people- but also causing added and unecessary pain to the McCann family, especially as he offered up selfserving excuses for his disrespectful behavior.

At the urging of numerous media outlets, Alberta judge Justice Denny Thomas agreed to allow a camera in the Edmonton courtroom to broadcast the delivery of the verdict. The camera was set up behind the prosecution and defence lawyers, in a position that would only capture the judge. And although the camera operator was allowed to zoom in and out; they were not allowed to film any wide shots of the courtroom. Nor were they allowed to film Vader.

When Judge Thomas granted permission to film this portion of the trial, he stated that the court camera would educate the public regarding the differences between a judge and jury trial. The judge also stated that it would “take all day” to read his 68,000-word judgment, so instead, he said he would read a summary of his decision on-camera. The Crown voiced the concern that reading a summarized judgment on-camera would mislead, rather than educate the public. However,

Through the Lens Moose Mountain Photography Club

Alberta criminal lawyer Balfour Der declared that cameras in court allowed access to justice wherever a member of the public was- either observing events in the courtroom itself or “ from their home, their television, wherever they are.”

Even members of the McCann family agreed that a live broadcast of the verdict televised was an idea that was long overdue.

So what’s the problem?

Well, there are many excellent arguments against allowing cameras in courtrooms- they can be a source of potential intimidation to witnesses, they can have the opposite effect on persons prone to grandstanding, and most worryingly, they can run the risk of compromising fairness and impartiality.

Travis Vader’s demonstrated disrespect for the justice system would, I suspect, not be improved by the presence of a video camera. And Judge Thomas’s summary sets a potentially-concerning precedent- is his condensed reading convenient for television viewers or a slippery slope to more media-accommodating shortcuts?

I don’t know the answer to these questions. But I suspect that only the most sordid and gruesome trials would be broadcast in an effort to entertain the Canadian public (and boost ratings)- rather than further educate our country’s citizenry on selected aspects of our legal system.

The McCann murders were shockingly random and seemingly without motive- the couple’s bodies were not found, no murder weapon was found, and the police investigation was exceedingly complex and said to resemble what one commentator called: “the plot of every episode of Law and Order.”

But the McCann case wasn’t just another episode of Law and Order. It was a real human tragedy, and the purpose of Travis Vader’s trial was to find the truth and mete out justice- not to be a source of entertainment.

If trials are routinely broadcast in this country, we run the risk of trivializing crime and hobbling real justice. It’s not a risk that’s worth taking for the sake of ratings.

At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division.

Weekly RCMP report Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

The Carlyle RCMP detachment responded to several files from Thursday, Oct. 6 to Thursday, Oct. 13.

911 “Calling 911 is for true emergencies,” says Staff Sgt. Darren Simons of the Carlyle RCMP detachment.

“Anytime 911 is used for a non-emergency or even frivolous call, it potentially takes resources away from situations where 911 is truly needed.”

Simons said this in response to three of five 911 calls received by the Carlyle detachment this week. Although two calls were due to weather and/or technology issues, three were non-emergency calls to 911.

One caller called 911 because the detachment’s front door was not open-even though there is an alternate

phone number posted on the door of the building. Another caller was intoxicated and the third caller was using 911 to inquire about a phone number for SGI registration.

Alcohol-related offences A motorist refused a breath test via a roadside screening device.

This individual also refused a test at an approved screening device at the Carlyle RCMP detachment. As a result, this individual received the same punishment as they would if they were charged wih impaired driving.

“If you refuse testing on an approved roadside screening device and/or if you refuse the same type of test at the detachment, you receive the same punishment as you would for impaired driving,” says Staff Sgt. Darren Simons.

The RCMP also dealt with three other impaired driving investigations. One involved a collision in Arcola, one resulted in a 72hour suspension for a driver and the third was

a report of a possiblyimpaired driver which proved to be unfounded.

A 72-hour suspension was issued to a driver in the Kenosee Lake area.

Liquor Act tickets were issued in Carlyle, Kenosee Lake and Redvers.

An individual from the Carlyle area was lodged in cells until sober.

Assault An individual assaulted a police officer in the Arcola area.

The violator threw his driver’s licence, hitting the officer. The officer used discretion and the subject was issued a ticket for using a cellphone while driving, in addition to a previous inspection ticket.

An assault which occurred in the Redvers area resulted in charges.

An assault which occurred in the Carlyle area is still under investigation by police.

Members responded to the report of an assault in the Arcola area, which proved to be unfounded.

Break and enter Three break and en-

ters occurred in Arcola and one occurred in the Carlyle area.

Child Welfare Act RCMP dealt with one file under the Child Welfare Act. Drugs RCMP are currently conducting one drug investigation.

Matthews has a debut to remember

By Bruce Penton Boy, Auston Matthews sure knows how to do a debut!

Not content to open his National Hockey League career with a two-goal game or even a hat trick, the No. 1 overall selection by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2016 exploded onto the NHL scene with four goals in his first regular-season game.

The 19-year-old, who played professionally in Switzerland’s best league last year under the coaching guidance of former NHL bench boss Marc Crawford (currently an assistant with Ottawa), entered the NHL with Connor McDavid-like acclaim, but finished his first game with the Leafs in fans’ eyes as a hybrid of Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe and Marlin the Magician.

To the average Leafs’ fan, who has been waiting since 1967 for another Stanley Cup, Matthews’ debut was like Christmas morning and winning Lotto 649, all bundled into one magical night.

Not shockingly, perhaps, the Leafs still lost their opener, 5-4 in overtime to the hometown Senators, proving that no single player can transform a bad team into a power overnight.

But Matthews will try, as will McDavid, who had six points in his first two games as the Edmonton Oilers swept Calgary Flames to open

the 2016-17 season.

McDavid didn’t come close to scoring four goals in his first NHL game. McDavid, in fact, told NHL.com that “I think in my first game I touched the puck four times.”

It was the first fourgoal game by a player in his first game in the modern era of the NHL. Judging by the way he handled the puck and worked with fellow youngsters William Nylander and Mitch Marner, it certainly won’t be the last. That trio, along with thirdyear defenceman Morgan Rielly, form a strong base on which the Leafs can build a contending team. Toronto is still a light year or two away from challenging for a Stanley Cup, but for 82 games until mid-April, they’re going to be a fun team to watch.

Problem is, Matthews was on a 328-goal season pace after Game 1, and on a 164-goal pace after he went scoreless in Toronto’s second game. and he’s going to fall far short of those numbers after 82 games have been played. But can we at least award him the Rookie-of-the-Month for October?

Predatory animals and farmers

By Calvin Daniels It’s an old story that is again beginning to play out with a new chapter in Saskatchewan.

The story is about predatory animals and farmers. The two simply have never gotten along.

Predators are generally smart, at least among animals. They have to be to survive by tracking prey. And that inherent ability has meant predators, cougars and wolves, even smaller ones such as foxes and coyotes, come rather quickly to realize domestic livestock is easy to catch, and that makes farms pretty much a corner diner for lunch.

This is not new. It’s a situation which has led to many predatory species being eradicated completely from huge areas. Wolves, for example, were hunted to extinction in Britain, by sometime in the 1800s, the year a bit fuzzy based on reported single sightings apparently.

Thankfully here in Canada we never got to the point of hunting our predators to extinction, although foxes and coyotes still harry farmyard chickens on occasion, although that is less an issue as few farmers keep a flock for their own eggs these days.

Wolves however, can still pose a problem.

They have always been the biggest problem in terms of wild animals and farming, or at least it seems that way.

When wolves kill a calf or a ewe, the results are obvious, the loss immediate, and quite quantifiable.

One suspects the loss to deer eating crops in summer and hay stored in winter actually cause a higher loss in terms of real cash value, not to mention far more deer are hit and killed on highways than wolves, and such accidents have a cost in terms of vehicle damage too.

And let’s not forget the damage from migratory waterfowl as they eat themselves fat on the farmers grain as they head south for the winter.

But in Canada at least, and on the Prairies in particular, deer and geese have far better public relations going for them, as they are something we have traditionally hunted for food. Hunting is still very much a part of our culture, not the extent it was even a quarter of a century ago, but still practised by many.

Those many hunters also spend considerable dollars in the pursuit and those ripple through the economy and that is a factor in the good PR of hunt species too.

So the recent announcement the Ministry of Environment is again offering a wolf hunting season for wildlife management zones along the provincial forest fringe as a method for helping to reduce wolf-livestock conflicts, hasn’t caused much of a ripple here.

Such an announcement would have caused at least some uproar from groups such as the Sierra Club, because the wolf is among the more notable species to be pushed to the brink and beyond across most of North America.

It is those, a near testament to wolf management here that their population is such that they have again become a problem in some areas.

“Livestock predation by wolves is an ongoing problem for producers in areas near the provincial forest,” Environment Minister Scott Moe said in the release regarding the hunt. “Allowing a hunting season in these areas will remove some wolves and cause others to be more wary of moving into open areas where livestock are present.”

The situation is as old as man domesticating the first goat or sheep I’m sure, but at least here we still have a wolf population to find balance with, which is ultimately a good thing in my books.

Special guest Shannon Shakotko of Forget inspired attendees with her moving speech and singalong at the Oct. 13 Creative Tablesfor Cancer fundraiser at Arcola’s Prairie Place.

Shakotko gave a moving and inspiring talk about her “Beloved” husband, Don who passed away from cancer just over a year ago. She says, “Everything I needed to learn about life, I learned from my dying husband,”

Bev Grimes (left) and Darlene Olsen (right) draw one of the many prizes at Arcola’s Creative Tables for Cancer fundraiser, held Thursday, Oct. 13 at Prairie Place Hall. This year’s event boasted record attendance and a wait list for both individuals wanting to attend and those wishing to host tables.

Prior to this year’s Creative Tables for Cancer fundraiser, founder Darlene Olsen of Arcola said: “I really enjoy how much the women look forward to the night and their enthusiasm for what they’re going to do for their table as hostesses. I’m always excited for the first-timers coming to walk into Prairie Place and see the tables set up, because it looks amazing.”

Pictured at their Mexico-themed table are (l-r) Jeannie Huber and Brenda Scheirer.

This India-themed table hosted by Jackie Doty (pictured, far right) was one of the stunning spectacles at Arcola’s Creative Tables for Cancer fundraiser, held Thursday, Oct. 13 at Prairie Place Hall. The event-once again a sell-out, complete with waitlist- is made possible with the support of talented, hardworking hostesses, attendees and area businesses, according the the event’s founder, Darlene Olsen. “It’s not about me,” she insists. “I get much more back volunteering than I give. And I couldn’t do any of it without the help of many, many other people.” Doty is pictured here with guests (l-r) Teresa Fields, Norine Schreiner and Dawn Rolfe .

In just under a decade, Creative Tables for Cancer has become a mainstay on area calendars, as well as a fundraising force of nature. With total monies raised approaching $500,000, the appeal of this unique event is demonstrated by this stunning New York City-themed table, one of three created by Bev Grimes, who is also a member of the Moose Mountain Health Care Recruitment committee, which also benefitted from the evening’s proceeds. Pictured (l-r) are attendees Laura Dunn, Tara Bendsten and Tanya Robertson.

Breast cancer survivor Delores Cutler hosted this Christmas-themed table-not her first. When asked about her ongoing commitment to Creative Tables for Cancer, Cutler simply says: “I believe in the cause; I’ve been there, done that.” Pictured are (front row, l-r) Darlene Morrison, Delores Cutler, Trilbie Morrow, and Marg Krenz and (back row, l-r) Sharon Kyle, Shirley Bryant and Doreen Humphries.

The ladies from Carlyle’s Lotus Tree Wellness and Healing ushered in two Creative Tables firsts: their Namaste-themed table featured cushions instead of chairs and was one of the tables that literally “took the stage” this year.

Carlyle’s Salon 206 and The Pearl each hosted garden party-themed tables. Pictured at the Salon 206 table-hosted by Amy Geiger (not pictured) are: (front row, l-r) Lucille Weber, Dolores Young, Shirley McCarron and Brittney Keyes and (back row, l-r) Marsha McLean, Brooklyn Bodnaruk and Jacey Tarr.

CANADA: NATURAL SOURCE OF PRIDE SINCE 1867

TEST YOUR CANADIAN KNOWLEDGE

Laying the foundation for worldwide equality JOHN PETERS HUMPHREY (1905-1995)

QUESTION 1:

In 1948, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The first draft of this globally important document was penned by New Brunswick native John Peters Humphrey. In clear legal language, the UDHR asserts that every individual possesses inherent access to rights and freedoms regardless of race, religion, sex or status. And while the UDHR is not legally binding, it forms the basis of numerous national constitutions, national laws, international laws and various treaties.

The Canadian Bill of Rights and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which protect freedom of religion, of thought, of expression, of the press and of peaceful assembly, are among these.

Throughout his career, John Humphrey was committed to establishing, defending and teaching human rights law. A difficult childhood, during which he lost both his parents to cancer in addition to having an arm amputated after a fire, may well have nurtured his compassionate and insightful nature. He studied law at McGill University and became a legal practitioner in Montreal for several years before becoming a professor. He taught first at McGill—where he founded the McGill Debating Union, one of the world’s most prominent debate societies—and later at University of Algiers. In the mid-1940s he was named Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations, and later became the first person to hold the position of Director of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.

Humphrey spent twenty years working within the UN. During his time he oversaw the constitutions of dozens of countries and helped implement numerous international conventions. He was involved in issues regarding freedom of the press, the status of women and racial discrimination.

After resigning from the UN in 1966, Humphrey returned to McGill where he taught law and political science for almost thirty years. During this chapter he was also involved in a number of human rights efforts and organizations. He played an instrumental role in the creation of the Canadian Human Rights Foundation (now Equitas), founded the Canadian chapter of Amnesty International and directed the International League for Human Rights. Humphrey also took part in many international commissions of inquiry and helped found the Canadian chapter of the International Commission of Jurists.

John Humphrey passed in 1995 but his memory survives in various forms, most notably through the national and international human rights awards that bear his name. Still today, the impact and scope of his work continues to make a difference in the quality of life of millions worldwide.

CANADA’S SRI LANKAN COMMUNITY

NEW BRUNSWICK BIRD: BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEE

Sri Lankan-Canadians make up a vibrant component of our national identity. Children’s rights activist Cheryl Perera, scientist and inventor Veerasingham Dhuruvasangary and esteemed author—most notably of the critically acclaimed novel The English Patient— Michael Ondaatje are just a few who’ve enriched our cultural background.

In 2011 Statistics Canada reported that around 140,000 people of Sri Lankan heritage call Canada home. The majority of them live in Montreal and Toronto as well as other parts of Ontario. A vast portion of the Sri Lankan Canadian population claims Tamil ethnicity, and a smaller segment, Sinhalese ethnicity.

While Canada has welcomed Sri Lankans since the 1940s, in the 1990s this population was the fifth largest source of immigrants in the country. The Sri Lankan civil war was a large factor for many who chose to leave their native country during this period.

The Sri Lankan community has numerous organizations in place within Canada, primarily in Ontario but in many other cities across the country as well. The community also produces a number of newspapers in three languages: English, Tamil and Sinhalese.

Canada is home to the largest population of Tamil Sri Lankans outside of Sri Lanka. In Ontario, January has officially been decreed Tamil Heritage Month. During this month all Ontarians are invited to recognize the contributions of this community and observe Tamil celebrations such as Thai Pongal, a four-day harvest festival rife with traditional food and gift giving.

They are so delicious and I am ever so glad that I got this job done before the Sunday rain. I also do believe that the harvest has been completed in this area, there could be one or two farmers still at it and this rain will sure stop them for a while again. We did luck out again with no snow on the ground, only a light cover which melted away within short order.

Children will have very different reactions to trick or treating.

Those with very shy temperaments may cling closely to their parent or show obvious signs of discomfort towards scary masks and costumes. Children with a more easy-going tem-

perament, may show great excitement or react in a neutral way. It’s important to deal with your child’s emotions in a sensitive, understanding way. Fears seem especially common in children between three and six years of age. This is when a child’s ability to

think about and remember scary things increases.

Prepare your child for things you expect will be scary for them.

Talk to them in advance of the event. Tell them about how people like to dress up in funny and scary-looking costumes. Give your child an opportunity to voice any concerns. Together you can develop a plan to help them cope when they come face to face with the source of their fear. Try making up funny names for monsters that they can use when they spot one. For example, “There goes Victor the Vile Vampire or Frankie Frankenstein”.

Just being able to label and use words allows your child to exert some power and manage negative emotions. When you comfort your frightened child, you are helping them feel safe. This sense of security gives them the courage needed to eventually face and conquer their fears.
