Catching up with Blake Berglund Kelly Running Observer Staff

Names like Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Buck Owens come to mind when people talk about the great country singing storytellers. Saskatchewan’s storytelling, guitar playing, singing, song writing cowboy, Blake Berglund, originally from Kennedy, is a newer name to country music, but is one that should be added to that list.

The singer-songwriter spent 2016 on the road touring and his musical endeavours have garnered him the Saskatchewan Country Music Association (SCMA) Roots Artist of the Year award. Now he’s gearing up for a Western Canada tour this summer before the release of a new album this fall.

This month, however, Berglund is going back to his roots – to when he first decided to pursue a music career – and has set what he calls “a lofty goal,” to sell 1,000 records in May and to do this he plans on connecting with fans, door to door.

“It’s an ambitious undertaking, but I find I push myself in a positive way when I set lofty goals for myself,” Berglund said. “It’s a challenge, but I’ve decided to revisit the way I used to sell albums, which was door to door from 2008 to 2012. Back then I just went out and sold CDs from my vehicle. When I started touring, that was when I sold my last door to door CD, but to sell 1,000 CD’s this month I thought I would re-approach that and see how things have changed since I last was out.”

“It’s intimidating to be walking up to strangers’ doors, but I’ve met some great people and some wonderful fans.”

The May project is Berglund’s way of funding his future: “It’s a fundraising effort. Right now I have a great team of publicists who are going to be promoting my record and this industry is taking a digital route, so I have a website that needs to be up to snuff, and music videos. So, I’m raising capital to operate the business.”

“I plan to go out everyday this month and any online orders will count towards the 1,000 as well, so if you send me an email or Facebook message I’m happy to send one out. They’re $20 each and a couple of dollars for shipping. Or Michael [Ellis] saw what I was doing and being the generous person he is wanted to help, so there are 25 albums available at Michael’s Coffee Shop for people to pick up if they’re interested.”

If interested in supporting Berglund’s efforts he can be found on Facebook by searching: BLAKE BERGLUND or contact him through his email: BlakeBerglund@gmail.com.

This summer he is planning to tour across Western Canada with Belle Plaine, which includes performances at the Calgary Stampede and Regina Folk Festival. Although they have no southeast Saskatchewan dates set, Berglund is forever grateful to his hometown and surrounding communities that continue to support his efforts in the music industry.

In addition to a busy touring schedule, Berglund will be releasing a new album this fall: “It’s a concept record, I’ve listened to Pink Floyd and a lot of ‘70s concept albums, so Dark Side of the Moon was a big influence in this, then I was listening to a lot of old school country, ‘90s country, and Marty Stuart.

It’s a spiritual country concept record; my band and I are really proud of the sound, it’s super twangy, it’s

Kennedy native, Blake Berglund, has been busy planning a Western Canada tour for this summer with Belle Plain and is also looking forward to releasing a new album this fall; but, currently he’s set “a lofty goal” and is focused on selling 1,000 records during the month of May as a way to help fund his career. Stop by Michael’s Coffee Shop and Bakery to purchase an album or send Berglund a message at BlakeBerglund@gmail.com. real country.”

The new fall album – will be pressed as both a CD and vinyl – is written by Berglund: “There are three co-writes on the album, one with Belle Plaine

and then two written with my band. Other than that I’ve written everything on it.”

“I’m very blessed to be doing what I’m doing,” Berglund stated.

Ann Kernaleguen, veterinarian, ceremoniously cuts a ribbon at the grand opening of the new Stoughton Veterinary Services building on Thursday, May 4. She’s joined by Stoughton and District Veterinary Service Board who assisted in making the new building possible.

Saskatchewan Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (Regina) On May 5, 2017 Regina CFSEU, with the assistance of the RCMP Emergency Response Team, the National Weapon Enforcement Support Team (NWEST) and the Carlyle RCMP concluded a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act investigation in the communities of Arcola and Carlyle.

Investigators searched two residences and seized firearms, cocaine, methamphetamine and Canadian Currency.

Two adult males and an adult female were taken into police custody without incident.

The following individuals have been arrested and charged: Daryl William McIvor (1984/08/28) of Manor, Saskatchewan: • 3 counts of Sec 86(1) CC – Careless storage of a firearm • Sec 92(1) CC – Unauthorized Possession of a Firearm • Sec 117.01(1) CC – Possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order Adrian Christopher Nery (1986/02/06) of Arcola, Saskatchewan: • Sec 5(2) CDSA – Possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking • Sec 4(1) CDSA – Possession of methamphetamine • Sec 355(b) CC – Possession of Property obtained by Crime under

$5000.00 • 5 counts of Sec 86(1) CC – Careless storage of a firearm • 2 counts of Sec 92(1) CC – Unauthorized possession of a firearm • 2 counts of Sec 117.01(1) CC – Possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order Alyssia Dawn Normandin (1984/09/19) of Arcola, Saskatchewan: • Sec 5(2) CDSA – Possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking • Sec 4(1) CDSA – Possession of methamphetamine • Sec 355(b) CC – Possession of Property obtained by Crime under $5000.00 • Sec 91(1) CC – Unauthorized possession of a firearm • 2 counts of Sec 86(1) CC – Unauthorized possession of a firearm McIvor and Nery remain in police custody and will appear in court on Monday May 8th, 2017 in Estevan, Saskatchewan. Normandin was released on conditions and will appear in court on June 28th.

Saskatchewan CFSEU is an integrated enforcement team consisting of police officers from the RCMP as well as the Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert Police Services.

Summer Times is back!

Stoughton and the surrounding area celebrated the grand opening of the new Stoughton Veterinary Services building on Thursday, May 4.

In January of 1979, Dr. Ann Kernaleguen (DVM) bought the practice and has been working in the area ever since. Today she works alongside two other veterinarians, multiple veterinary technicians, and welcomes veterinarian students to learn on the job, while she has also welcomed high school students interested in the veterinary field to work in the clinic as well.

Kernaleguen explained that they simply grew out of the old building and were in need of a larger facility to better meet the needs of those that come in. She added that the practice has changed over the years. Once she was only seeing approximately 10 percent small animals and the rest were large, while now she says between 50 and 60 percent are small animals.

“It’s been five years since we first started discussing the new building to when it was finished,” Kernaleguen stated. “We went through and found a blueprint that works for us, one for both large and small animals, and we modified that plan a little bit to ensure it met our needs.”

“Everything has its own room

here. In the old building we would set up the x-ray machine and then have to take it all down. In this new building it has its own room and everything has its place.”

The building itself was erected by Feb. 20, 2016, Kernaleguen stated, but that it was not completed until this spring.

“Everything has gone quite smoothly,” Kernaleguen added.

The building itself was the work of a joint Stoughton and District Veterinary Service Board, which includes the Rural Municipalities of Golden West, Griffin, Fillmore, and Tecumseh.

Kernaleguen is joined at the clinic by fellow veterinarians Dr. Michelle Anderson and Dr. Lani Pohler; veterinary technicians Kim Berger, Emily Dayman, and Sarah Underwood; groomer and boarding attendant Susan Ludwig; receptionist Stacey Campbell; and she welcomes students, both from the local high school interested in veterinary services as a potential career and those working towards their degrees.

The facility is located on Hwy 47, just north of Stoughton, and have a comprehensive website for more information on them at www.stoughtonvet.ca.

Grasslands an endangered ecosystem

By Calvin Daniels There should be value assigned to protecting the natural world around us.

That said it is not always an easy thing to accomplish.

A broadly integrated approach is required if we are to conserve threatened ecosystem such as prairie grasslands. That was the clear message those attending an Earth Day presentation in Yorkton at an event hosted by the Yellowhead Flyway Birding Trail Association heard recently from speaker Kenton Lysak with the Meewasin Valley Authority in Saskatoon.

“Grasslands now are really one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world,” said Lysak.

Lysak said the loss of such grasslands has been dramatic.

“There’s only five per cent of what there was 100 years ago,” he said.

The loss of grasslands has been a result of human encroachment from urbanization and agriculture. However, Lysak is not one who sees farmers as “evil men with pitchforks.” He said he understands that farmers require land to grow food for a growing world population.

But Lysak said that does not mean efforts to protect what natural grasslands may remain should not be given priority.

That was one aspect of government – operated cattle pastures which seems to have been lost as both the federal and provincial governments

(at least in Saskatchewan), more to divest themselves of such pasture lands.

Pastures under the PFRA contain some of the largest remnants of native prairie in Canada and stretch over 1.5 million acres of land. Through the Community Pasture Program, native prairie has been sustainably managed, and over 358,000 acres of poor-quality cultivated lands have been returned to grass. Integral to the sustainable management of these lands is the grazing of cattle.

In the spring of 2012, the federal government’s announcement it would divest the pastures to the provincial governments.

It was a short-sighted decision at the federal level as it gave up control of the native prairie ecosystems within the pastures.

There are now public consultations on the future of the Saskatchewan pasture lands with the provincial government holding two public meetings on the future use of lands that are part of the Saskatchewan Pastures Program. The program consists of approximately 780,000 acres located at 50 sites throughout the province.

To expect any result other than a process of transferring the majority of the lands to private hands would seem to be overly optimistic from a conservationist point of view.

Whatever the process, and whoever the partners, protecting the prairie grasslands needs to be at the top of the priority list, and so far it does not appear to be a key component of things.

Tianna Kennett: Gold Medal Grappler Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Tianna Kennett recently grappled her way to gold at the Canadian Junior and Senior Wrestling Championships in St. Catherines, Ontario. Her trip to the top of the podium earned the Manor native and University of Calgary nursing student a second year on Team Canada’s wrestling roster and a chance to compete (in her 59 kg weight class) for her country in June at the Pan-American United World Wrestling Championships in Lima, Peru and at the Junior World Championships in Finland in August.

“This year was a lot different than last year,” says the Manor native, who now studies and trains at the University of Calgary, as a member of the school’s Dinos Women’s wrestling team. “I was competing aganst an entirely different group of people and I had no idea who I was wrestling against or what the outcome would be.”

Kennett overcame a knee injury (ACL-anterior cruciate ligament) and although she made it to Nationals, the athlete says the experience was a sobering one.

“Basically, I thought I was bulletproof in a sense,” she says. “Everyone gets bumps and bruises when they’re wrestling, but mentally, it was really tough.”

“It happened right before I was to compete as part of Team Canada in Azerbaijan,” says Kennett. “The coaches made their decision and the trip was cancelled two days before I was supposed to leave. Then, I was off the mats for three months.”

“I got injured - the ACL in my left knee – in November, 2016. It ruptured and although it hurts a lot in the beginning, later, not so much. I went into the doctor feeling great, but there was a lot of swelling.”

“After seeing two doctors, I was looking at surgery,” she says. “All of a sudden, physically, I can’t do something I’ve done for six years. It was hard to stay off that one. I walked with a brace for quite a while.”

“The whole process really added to my nerves,” adds Kennett. I’d never been injured in my career before. I’ve done rehab and I’m still doing it.”

“But it was hard to get cleared for some competitions and it was tough mentally not to compete on that Senior Team Canada trip to Azerbaijan.”

“A lot of competitions running up to Nationals in St. Catherines were just a few weeks apart. And although I knew I’d probably be cleared to compete in St. Catherines, as an athlete, it’s always a question of: ‘Is it safe (to compete)?’”

“So the second time at Nationals was really dif-

Manor native Tianna Kennett (pictured, centre) recently grappled her way to a gold medal at the Canadian Junior and Senior National Wrestling Championships in St. Catherines, Ontario. As a a gold medallist, Kennett is – for the second time – a member of the Canadian National wrestling team and is now qualified to compete in Lima, Peru in June at the Pan-American United World Wrestling Championships and at the Junior World Championships, which will be held this August in Finland. ferent than the first time,” says Kennett.

“When I made it to Nationals last year, I didn’t expect it at all,” she explains. “This time, returning and defending, I had kind of a personal expectation, because of the injury.”

“Not many people knew about (the injury), so for me, the entire experience was kind of a triumph and really exciting in that way.”

Although her gold medal now means Kennett will represent Canada in Peru and Finland this summer, she is no stranger to international competition, which poses unique challenges for competitors.

She has already wrestled in Austria, Brazil, China, France, Germany and Italy and says: “This summer, I’ll be competing in Lima, Peru and Finland. In Finland, we’ll be dealing with disrupted sleep patterns and stuff. We don’t fly to those des-

tinations a lot of days in advance, so we do deal with jet lag. In a place like Lima, it will be a question of dealing with how hot it is. When I’ve competed in Pan-Ams previously, the venues in really hot places weren’t air-conditioned, so there were some things I had to change in my warm-up.”

“Competing against international athletes, you’ll find they have different styles and a lot of that is a case of what different countries do and how their coaches train their athletes.”

When asked how she juggles her nursing studies at the University of Calgary with her wrestling career, Kennett says: “Women’s wrestling’s not for everyone, but I found my fit. I’m really passionate about both nursing and wrestling. I’m stubborn, so I make it work.”

“It’s all I’ve ever done and I think I’ll just keep wrestling until I don’t want to do it anymore.”

For the second year in a row, Manor native Tianna Kennett has been named a member of the Canadian National Wrestling team after earning a gold medal in March as winner of her 59 kg weight class at the Canadian Junior and Senior National Wrestling Championships in St. Catherines, Ontario. Kennett has also completed her second-year nursing studies at the University of Calgary and a member of the University of Calgary’s Dinos Women’s Wrestling team. Kennett says of making the national team for this second time: “This year was a lot different than last year. I was competing against an entirely different group of people and I had no idea who I would be wrestling against or what the outcome would be.”

Quote of the Week . . .

“Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.”

- Will Rogers

A left leaner’s lament

People always say that two things are for certain: death and taxes. We complain about taxes all of the time. But, at the end of the day, you have to pay them.

For a government to operate they require funds and where else are they supposed to find those funds? Well, in Crown Corporations for one, except these look Kelly Running like they’re going to be sold off Observer Staff in a bid to have a quick influx of cash as opposed to putting the rates up – we have low cell phone rates compared to almost any other province – so even an increase in rates Sask would continue offering cheaper services than elsewhere in Canada.

People always seem to be concerned about themselves, which is fine, you worked hard for your money. I did too. Over the past five years I was the only reporter here three separate times; I was working crazy hours to ensure the paper had content because if I didn’t do it, it wouldn’t get done.

I understand working hard because I grew up on a farm. My dad was out the door in the morning before anyone else even thought of waking up to go out to the field, then he’d be out late into the evening, stopping only if there was a break down or for family suppers, which were quite often out in the field on the tailgate of a truck. It being a family farm we helped out: driving the grain truck, rolling peas, cleaning out bins, etc… But, school and the two sports we chose to play were commitments that came first.

My parents put an emphasis on education and being well rounded, which included being able to work hard. That meant physically or mentally, so in anything my sister and I choose to do, we work hard.

I grew up in a small community, the type that Saskatchewan is built on, you know it, you’ve lived it.

You help each other out. So, no matter how hard you worked, you always had time to help someone else.

We didn’t have cattle, but our family often helped out at friends’ brandings, because that’s what you did.

So, today when I look at taxes, I want to see mine going to help people in need. I want to see what I pay going towards things like ensuring low income individuals are able to have a funeral for their loved one, that travel for people with disabilities in residential care is possible, and that education and healthcare are a priority.

Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a job that pays the bills, there’s lots of people out there that work two jobs at minimum wage – sounds like working hard to me – and yet they have a tough time keeping up. So, we need to be giving people a leg up and not casting them to the side saying it’s their own fault. It’s not. It’s the economic system we live in where the all-mighty dollar is more important than our fellow man.

Ultimately, I understand it’s a poor economic climate and that cuts need to be made in the budget, but why not cut funding for that bypass in Regina – put it on hold – or roads in general? I can drive on poor roads, we’ve all done it before, but by taking away these other services we’re essentially kicking already struggling people in the gut. They’re already having a tough time, why are we making it harder?

After all, Saskatchewan was built on people helping people; so, why are we not being true to our nature?

In too much of a hurry to wait The need for clothes for her summer job took my youngest daughter and I on a long day of shopping. It was hours of searching the racks and trying things on which sometimes meant standing in a line waiting for a fitting room to open up, which was followed by another line-up so we could make the desired purchases. It was the time spent Shelley Luedtke waiting in line that a lot about human nature was revealed--and reaffirmed.

To greater and lesser extents we spend parts of every week in some sort of line…waiting. We wait at traffic lights, drive-thrus and check-outs; public washrooms, theaters and gas stations. Some lines are decidedly more fun than others, depending on what’s at the end of the line-up we’ve joined. The line outside a concert venue may stretch around the block but it is far more appealing than the line-up to exit a parkade. Major theme parks do their utmost to try to thoroughly entertain us so we won’t notice how long the wait is.

Maybe we’ve come to believe that waiting in line is wasted time; that there are other things we could be doing instead. If asked, most of us would likely say we don’t like line-ups, but it extends further for some people as it brings out a side of them that is decidedly unpleasant. They feel it is okay to grumble, demonstrate impatience and become indignant at the idea of having to wait—or wait too long. Yes, there are things that waiting might keep us from, but lack of graciousness in those situations too often finds expression--loudly.

The people waiting in line with my daughter uttered the kinds of statements we have all heard before. “Why don’t they have more staff working?”

“Why aren’t there more check-outs open?” “If I have to wait much longer they won’t see me here again.”

So why does the thought of having to wait in a

line become such an affront to some people?

We seem to be an increasingly impatient culture.

We look to time-saving devices, organizational schematics to improve efficiency, we expect to get what we want in an instant, and buzz words like ‘rush delivery’ and ‘no waiting’ get our attention.

We don’t want to be denied or told something won’t be occurring right away. It leaves many people frustrated and they see nothing wrong in taking out their annoyance on anyone in their path.

Patience is something we tend to try and quantify. We say ‘he has far more patience than I do’ or ‘I don’t have the patience for that’. We think of patience as something we gather in certain amounts, something at our disposal to be called on when needed. But it is so much more than that.

Patience is respecting others enough to give them the courtesy we ourselves wish to receive. It is recognizing that other’s needs are very similar to our own. It is understanding that the stranger sitting in the seat next to us, the one entering the line behind us, or the people we encounter each day doing their jobs, are so much more alike us than they are different.

Because there were other things that happened in those line-ups too. The shopper who let a mom and her toddler go ahead of her; or the woman who smiled and shared encouraging words with those who emerged from the dressing rooms in new outfits.

Sometimes we wonder if patience is something we can develop. Perhaps it’s not so much something we need to develop, as something we need to reclaim, and continually put into practice. To remember that in most situations the extra moments aren’t meant to intentionally irritate or block us from our intended tasks. It’s simply that at the time we needed to do something, so did many others. So we can help make the situation best for everyone by reminding ourselves that a line-up is not an exercise in endurance, but a demonstration of respect in action.

That’s my outlook.

Big girl bed

It is official. My baby isn’t a baby anymore! We finally pulled the trigger and she is finally sleeping upstairs in a big girl bed! All that crazy time spent renovating the upstairs Krystyn Gillies so we could eventually put our kiddo up there is so worth it!

When we bought the house, and moved it to the farm, our plan from the beginning was to update quite a bit of the house. Of course, Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither was our home. We started with the main floor, completely gutting the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and porch. Months and months went by, but we managed to mostly finish it to a point where we could move in.

I wanted to do the upstairs as soon as possible, but after we finished the main floor, we ran out of steam so to speak. The money was all gone and so was our energy. Fast forward to finding out we were pregnant with the now current toddler. Where would we put her? It only made sense to get at the upstairs.

Fast forward again two and a bit years later and we finished the upstairs and the bedrooms up there are completely done. When we finally finished, we moved up the furniture, made the bed and it was “time”. Or so we thought. It was a Tuesday, so we

weren’t sure if she would do well up there, so we postponed until the Friday, so no one had to work the next day.

Friday came, we had to be somewhere that evening and we didn’t get home until super late.

Tomorrow we said. The Saturday came and went and we met with some friends and their families to celebrate a birthday and by the time we got home that night, it was an hour and a half past bedtime.

Maybe the next night.

Of course, the toddler came down with the sinus infection/allergy thing I had been battling for two weeks and she felt pretty awful. It was zero fun, our usually happy, independent toddler turned into a snot covered, demanding, clingy leech. It was decided that we would wait until she was pretty well over that sickness before we moved her upstairs.

Finally, Friday night rolled around again. She was feeling much better, so at bedtime, my husband and I looked at each other with almost tears in our eyes. We asked the toddler if she wanted to sleep in her big girl bed upstairs and she said yes.

We got her into her jammies and brushed our teeth then found a stack of story books and headed up.

She jumped up onto her bed and hopped up and down a few times and we explained that it was time for bed. She flopped onto the pillows and we covered her up with her favourite blankets and read

three or four stories. She looked so little in that big bed, but she had a smile about a mile wide. We told her it was time to go to sleep so we flipped the light off and sat at the end of her bed telling her to close her eyes.

A few minutes later, her breathing evened out, her eyes quit fluttering (because asking her to close her eyes is code for blink them a million times) and she went all the way to sleep. I looked at my husband and he was proud and super sad all at the same time. He was so proud that his little girl was so brave and went to sleep but sad that our baby isn’t a baby anymore at all.

We went downstairs and stood there, completely lost on what to do with ourselves. Since she was five months old, she’s slept in the dining room in her crib and when she went to bed every night, so did we because it was quieter in our room. Now that she was upstairs, we could do whatever we wanted!

What did we do you ask? Crawled into our bed like we have every night for almost two years and went to bed early. Neither of us slept well of course, but she slept her 10.5 hours straight like a champ.

We had to run to the city the following day for a night but when we came home, night two went the same, but everyone slept that night. Wish us luck as we take down the “baby bed” and make this our new norm.

A macho man cold We all know what the term ‘man cold’ means. We know that whatever symptoms any and all of the other members of the family get from whatever bug is going around, dear old Jocelyn Hainsworth dad is going to get them much, much worse.

A simple sniffle with little Susie means sinuses on fire for dad. A scratchy throat for Jimmy is pure swallowing misery for his father. An earache for the baby – dad’s head will be either about to explode or cave in depending on his interpretation of the pain. The low grade fever that mom has to power through because the world doesn’t stop when she is sick is worthy of calling the priest for last rites for dad. It’s a mystery how the same germs can have such devastatingly extreme effects on the older male body, but the phenomena has been studied extensively over the years and the findings published in meme form on Facebook. There’s no arguing with scientific research of such calibre.

This past two weeks have been a continual game of passing around a head cold bug that made its debut when the grandson brought it home from school. He’s such a loving, sharing little boy that in no time at all Grandma was also sneezing and feeling under the weather. It slowed both of us down – our energy levels dropped and sleep was our friend. He seemed to escape the fever part of it but there was one night when I took two extra strength Tylenol and went to bed at 7:17. I don’t know when was the last time I slept around the clock but it did the trick – I woke up the next morning feeling human again. Which was a good thing because I was supposed to be the one helping out with a new baby and her mother recovering from surgery.

If there is ever a time when a simple cold is a dangerous thing it’s right after abdominal surgery.

One would think an incision in your lower abdomen should have nothing to do with sneezing but one couldn’t be more wrong about that. There is no sneezing allowed. Or lifting. Or going up and down stairs. Or getting in and out of vehicles. Or walking over rough terrain. Making beds or folding heavy blankets are not a good idea either. And absolutely ... NO LAUGHING! The focus to our days was to carry on with life as close to normal as possible without passing the disease on to the new mother. I don’t think I’ve ever washed my hands so often in my life but it looks like it was worth it. I also took the contaminated grandson home for the weekend to lessen the chances of him spreading his disease to his mother. The

result was that mom side-stepped the cold that her father picked up instead.

So my return from this baby cuddling holiday was met with a ‘man cold’, only with a rare twist. This form of the disease has to be called a ‘macho man cold’ and while I recognise all the tactics he’s using to power through because as a mom I have had to do them all to survive in my life, I also wonder why a man goes to such crazy extremes?

Normally a mere hint of a fever and he’s all wrapped up in a blankets in his easy chair needing tea, Aspirin, and chicken soup, but this time it’s May and the neighbour he works for during seeding is ready to roll so he HAS TO GO even though his obvious fever has him shivering even dressed in extra layers and huddled under a heavy quilt. His head is aching. He has no appetite. He is developing a nasty cough. He knows pneumonia puts a guy in the hospital from personal experience. In

Through the Lens

my mind a person that sick should take one day to actually take care of himself and maybe ward off a case of potential pneumonia ... but what do I know?

Apparently this is a case of when men gotta be men, which negates all the standard regulations men adhere to when they are normally sick. How does a man go from being a pathetic, puny, sickly wimp with 97% of his sick time to some kind of morally bound super macho-man out to prove his strength and stamina even if it may well be the death of him? And they say men don’t understand women.

Meanwhile I stand back and observe. I have pain killers and fever breakers at the ready – and Buckleys and Vicks vapour rub and throat lozenges plus an extra heavy quilt for bed time and lots and lots of Kleenex tissue. I can’t say for sure whether it’s sympathy or curiosity that has me intrigued at the moment.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 14th!

This Mother’s Day, find the right words to express your love

Treat Mom to a Chicken Meal on

Do you want to celebrate Mother’s Day with a sentimental card expressing your unconditional love? Here are some ideas to help inspire your inner poet.

Mother's Day!

• 10 pieces of Chicken • Fries • 2 Salads • Gravy • Double Fudge Brownies

There are a million ways to tell your darling mother just how much you love her. For example, you could let her know that you’re proud to call her your mum; that you look up to her in every way; that you’re honoured to have inherited her amazing qualities, etc. You could also thank her for always being there when you need her most or for being a part of your most cherished childhood memories. If you’re not the sentimental type — and that’s just fine — opt for some comic relief! Remind your mom of your most petty arguments and underline your gratitude for her unwavering patience.

Remember, Mother’s Day is a celebration of all mothers. Give a thoughtful card to your grandmother, to a daughter who has children of her own, to an expecting friend or to someone who has served as a mother figure in your life. And men, don’t forget to show your appreciation to the mother of your children on this special day!

All fo just $ r 26!

--------------Do you have a strained relationship with your mother?

Granted, we don’t all have easygoing relationships with our mothers. Remember, you don’t need to inundate her with compliments or super-sentimental thoughts to show your appreciation. It’s important to remain sincere. Simply tell her that you’re thinking of her and wish her a wonderful day — it’s guaranteed to put a smile on her face!

A NEW WAY TO TRAVEL THE GREAT WHITE NORTH JOSEPH-ARMAND BOMBARDIER (1907-1964)

WEEKS TO GO

Quiz TEST YOUR CANADIAN KNOWLEDGE

Invetnor and businessman

Whatever your feelings about the current state of affairs surrounding multinational aerospace and transport giant Bombardier Inc., we can all exhibit Canadian pride in regards to the company’s founder, Joseph-Armand Bombardier. This inventor, engineer and entrepreneur revolutionized winter travel in Canada with his innovations to the snowmobile and his subsequent invention of the Ski-Doo. Born in a small farming village in Quebec’s Eastern Townships, Bombardier was imbued with an innate gift for mechanics and engineering. Legendarily, he built his first machine that could travel across the snow when he was only 15. Using two wooden sleds hitched together, a handmade wooden propeller and a refurbished Model T Ford engine, the contraption ran over a kilometre before the teen was told to dismantle it for safety reasons.

At 17 Bombardier dropped out of seminary school to study electrical and mechanical engineering. Afterwards, he returned to his hometown of Valcourt and borrowed money to set up a workshop.

Quickly he gained a reputation as an expert in all things mechanical and the popularity of his services was such that he was able to repay A 46¢ postage stamp from 2000 designed his loan within three years.

by Michèle Cayer and titled Joseph-Armand While his business grew, he tinkered in the background with Bombardier: Getting Around in the Winter.

Credit: Library and Archives Canada; designing and developing a snowmobile. In 1935, Bombardier’s Copyright: Canada Post Corporation. first prototype was born and in 1937 he patented his machine’s sprocket wheel and track drive system. Two years later, the B7 was brought to market. Resembling a tank, the vehicle could seat seven people and was sold to country doctors, ambulance operators, and priests living in remote areas. As sales increased Bombardier gradually transformed his workshop into a manufacturing company, which officially opened under the name L’Auto-Neige Bombardier Limitée (roughly translated, “The Bombardier Snow-Car Limited”) in 1942.

By the dawn of the Second World War, Bombardier had sold thousands of snowmobiles and developed several prototypes. Among these were four that were designed exclusively for the military. But after the war things began to change. Most significantly, governments started to plow rural and secondary roads in the winter, eliminating most of the need for Bombardier’s snowmobiles and effectively rendering them obsolete.

Undeterred, Bombardier innovated and adapted to the changing times. He went on to design a handful of all-terrain vehicles, including the popular Muskeg tractor, for the mining, forestry and petro industries. The success of the Muskeg enabled Bombardier to return to his roots and create an entirely new type of snowmobile. This prototype resembled a motorcycle and was lighter, smaller and less expensive than past models.

The Ski-Doo was first commercialized in 1958 and within a decade had significantly altered life in northern communities. Moreover, widespread recreational use of the vehicle guaranteed future sales long after its inventor passed away in 1964.

THE 52 LARGEST GROUPS IN CANADA’S MULTICULTURAL MOSAIC

CANADA’S IRISH COMMUNITY

When St. Paddy’s Day rolls around each year, Canadians across the country don their greenest garments to celebrate the Irish presence that’s such a fundamental part of our national identity. While Montreal’s celebration is the oldest and largest—the city has proudly hosted a parade every March 17th since 1824—the province of Newfoundland and Labrador has gone as far as to make the day a public holiday.

The Irish started calling Canada home as early as the 17th century. Close ties with the French landed them a place in the early colonies of New France and a number of Irish communities were established in the Maritimes. However, the largest waves of immigration occurred in the first half of the 19th century. During the late 1840s Ireland was plagued by the Great Famine; of the nearly two million people that fled, hundreds of thousands made their way to Canada. Many of this group died en route and others never survived past quarantine at Grosse Île. Those who made it often preferred to work in cities and towns, with many eventually moving southwards to the United States. By 1871, the Irish represented the largest ethnic group in Canada in every major town except Montreal and Quebec City.

Today, 14 per cent of the Canadian population—or just over 4.5 million individuals—claims full or partial Irish ancestry. The most significant numbers continue to be in the Maritimes, but Yukon, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia also have substantial populations. Well known Irish Canadians include former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney; novelist W.P. Kinsella; businessman and brewer Eugene O’Keefe; comedian Mary Walsh; and the late great folk musician Stompin’ Tom Connors.

Sid should retire, just for the health of it

By Bruce Penton Sandy Koufax did it.

Jim Brown did it. Bobby Orr did it. Barrie Sanders did it. Will Sidney Crosby be the next professional sports superstar to retire at a young age?

After the 29-yearold Pittsburgh Penguin suffered the fourth concussion of his career in Game 3 of the Pens’ Eastern Conference semi-final against Washington Capitals, the retirement question reared its ugly head.

For Crosby — who wears No. 87 because he was born 8/7/87 — it may be a life-saving move to walk away from the game at which he has excelled since breaking into the National Hockey League in 2005 and starring as the league’s undisputed best player until Connor McDavid arrived to provide a rival for No. 1.

The sports world knows more about con-

cussions now than it did 30 years ago, when a player might have “got his bell rung” and returned to action as soon as the cobwebs dissipated. Doctors now know that a brain can suffer long-term damage after repeated blows and every professional sport now has “concussion protocol” that prevents a player from returning to game action until fully recovered.

Being a superstar, Crosby takes more physical abuse than most players. He has officially had four concussions. He may have had more. Judging by early deaths and suicides by other professional athletes whose heads were continually battered, the long-term effects of repeated concussions could be deadly.

So what would be wrong with Crosby, who missed only one game and came back for Game 5, walking away from the game before his 30th birthday? Other than Penguins’ fans who selfishly think they’ll win more Stanley Cups with Crosby in the lineup, there’s no reason he shouldn’t give his head a soft shake and realize

that he will live a longer, happier life without continually putting his head on the punching or crosschecking line.

Does he have enough money? Yes. He has been well compensated for his hockey skills and the corporate world in Canada loves him, and pays him handsomely.

Have his hockey accomplishments been rewarding enough? Yes — a couple of Stanley Cups; two MVP awards; two scoring titles; two Olympic gold medals (including long-term fame for scoring the ‘Golden goal’ in 2010 at Vancouver); a Conn Smythe trophy; and, presumably, an automatic first-ballot selection to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

It’s too bad the guardians of the game allow rules to be so loose that a player risks such serious injury as Crosby and other greats have endured. Sid could almost certainly come back next year — temporarily healthy — and put his head on the line for potential concussion No. 5.

He shouldn’t do it.

Sid’s done enough. Time to retire.

the Washington Post, on Rory McIlroy’s recent wedding to Erica Stoll: “In McIlroy’s defence, this is the second time this year his closest confidantes have failed him – first they let Rory walk 18 holes with Donald Trump, now they’ve let him walk down the aisle.”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “The Seattle Mariners are selling out of a new item — toasted grasshoppers covered in chili-lime salt. These are the first baseball games where you have to bring insect spray to protect you from a concession item.”

• TC in BC: “I finally have something in common with Johnny Manziel, Colin Kaepernick and Tim Tebow. If you see us at a football game, it’s because we got in with a ticket.”

• Comedy writer Jim Barach: “A survey says 84 per cent of players on the PGA Tour say slow play is a problem. The other 16 per cent are still trying to finish up their final round at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.” • Another one from TC in BC: “Colin Kaepernick is still unsigned.

He’s rumoured to have turned down an offer from Regina to back up QB Vince Young; but said he may be interested in coming here just to kneel for the singing of O Canada.”

• Headlines at SportsPickle.com: — “United announces plans to add trained NHL enforcers to all domestic flights.” — “CBS dumps Tony Romo after Dak Prescott expresses interest in broadcasting career.” — “ESPN announces new hockey reporter: a link to NHL. com.”

• Mike Bianchi of the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel, after the QB-needy Browns failed to draft

one with any of their three first-round picks: “This is like the homeless man who wins the lottery and buys everything but a new home.”

• Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun, with another reason to like Maple Leafs rookie sensation Auston Matthews: “In the stands at the Rogers Centre Saturday afternoon, he didn’t participate in the wave.”

Brad Dickson again: “A couple in Michigan named their newborn son ‘Harbaugh.’ Someday that kid will be glad that Schembechler is no longer coach.”

Artemis Dance presented their rendition of “New York, New York” on May 7 Redvers High School. Participating in the dance from Alida were Ainsley Cowan, Hayley Bendtsen, Julie and Sadie Potapinski. Attending this event were Shelly and Tim Cowan, Diane and Ken Potapinski, Colby Potapinski and Celine Fouillard, John Potapinski and Brooklyn Fitzpatrick, Faye Walker, Gray and Edel Cowan, Steven, Lesa Bendtsen, Bradley Bendtsen, Edgar and Shirley Bendtsen, Roy and Bonnie Farr.

There is definitely activity happening in the fields now, most of the local farmers are out working on their spring seeding. It’s still fairly wet in places, so another year with lots of wet areas left unseeded.

Let’s hope that we don’t receive much more rain so that the men can continue on with seeding until all is completed (I know wishful thinking, but one can hope). A little rain shower fell throughout Sunday night in some areas, we were fortunate not to receive any but this morning (Monday) it sure looks like rain. “Rain, Rain Go Away” for a while at least.

Please remember folks to keep me informed by either a call (306-443-2496), or a text (306-4858561) or e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel.net) I appreciate your contacts and input. Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and Take care.

and they no longer exist!

KIPPAN: In memory of Hugh Kippan who passed away May 17/97.

A smile is gone forever.

The hand we cannot touch.

Silent memories keep him near, As time unfolds another year.

No longer in our lives to share, But in our hearts he’s often there, But when thoughts go back as they often do, We treasure the memory we have of you.

Gone but not forgotten.

Ever remembered by May Kippan and family

Kennedy/Langbank News Submitted by Connie Schwalm Anyone that happened to be up a little later last Sunday night was certainly treated to quite an impressive ‘light show’! Though it doesn’t look like the thunderstorm dumped a huge amount of water on Kennedy itself...there was sure a lot of thunder and lightning filling our sky. So far, there’s been no report of any damage.

Sympathy and prayers are extended to John Muir’s family following his passing. John fought a hard and painful fight. And while there may be comfort in knowing that his fight is over...John will be sorely missed.

The Kennedy Pastoral Charge is accepting donations on behalf of Lyle Balogh and his family. Lyle is battling esophageal cancer. Anyone that would like to help Lyle and his family as he works to beat this attacker off are invited to send donations to The Kennedy Pastoral Charge, c/o Don Cox, Box 113, Langbank Sk. SOG 2XO. Julianna Coffee phoned to let us know that her mom...Emma Yanyu... celebrated her 88th Birthday on May 1st at the Moose Mountain Lodge in Carlyle, where she resides. Emma celebrated along with her family and the other residents of the lodge. She had a wonderful time, and especially enjoyed hearing her favorite songs performed by ‘The Olsons’.

The Kennedy Friendship Center was a busy place last week. About 20 people attended the Potluck Supper held on Wednesday, May 3rd. The regular meeting took place after the supper.

As well, on Friday, May 5th the Spring Bridge Tournament was held at the Friendship Center. There were 40 people who came to take part in the tournament; some from communities as far away as Weyburn, Lampman, Broadview and Wolseley. Congratulations to Dorothy Hewson and Jean Molnar who managed to take top place in the tournament.

Our Kennedy Langbank Girls 10 and under softball team were also very busy last week. They played one regularly scheduled game in Langbank on Wednesday, May 3rd. They also played two ‘make-up’ games (those previously canceled due to weather) over the weekend (one on Saturday, May 6th and the other on Sunday, May 7th). Though they have not yet come out on top as far as the scorecard is concerned...those watching the team play agree that the way these girls are honing their skill as players...and growing as a team...makes them winners in EVERY other way.

Students (Grades 3-8) from Kennedy Langbank School might also be knocking on your door this week, looking for sponsors for their upcoming ‘Wake-AThon’ (May 18th). This event is being held to raise money for Kipling’s Kidsport program...a program that many of our kids benefit from.

Jenny Wilton’s grandson Kyler Wilton and his mom Jodi Wilton had the chance to spend a few minutes talking with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau when he visited Miller High School in Regina last week. Justin’s father, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau also visited Miller High 45 years ago.

Well, that’s about all I have for you now. Have a good week, and give me a call at 306-495-8888 if you have any news to share.

TO GET YOUR BUSINESS NOTICED, CALL ALISON AT

Alyce was born, at home, in Carlyle, Saskatchewan on August 15, 1927. She passed away at the Moose Mountain Lodge in Carlyle on January 17, 2017. She was the second youngest of eleven children born to Adolf and Olga Eckert.

She was pre-deceased by her parents, her husband Russell Stockton, her daughter Jill Bonnetta, brothers Art, Bill, Ben and Albert Eckert, sisters Lydia Litke, Elsie McJannet, Alma McEwan, Erna Harrop, Lena Lewis and Tudy Wesneski.

She is survived by her son Walter and his wife Margaret, son Leighton and his wife Sandy, grandchildren Chris and his wife Ailsa Birnie, Jon, Brittany and her partner Kurtis Stevenson, Joshua, Rebecca, Samantha, Paige (Bonnetta) Boudreau and her husband Eric, Drew Bonnetta, and great grandchildren Choice, Fischer and Sawyer Stevenson; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, friends and relatives.

Alyce grew up in Carlyle where she attended both elementary and high school. Her first job was working at the Canada Cafe, as a waitress, to earn money to buy textbooks for Grade 12. The summer after Grade 12 she worked in the Hotel Beach Store at Carlyle Lake and following that worked at G.W. Stockton’s General Store. In later years she could be found working at Wilson’s and Lawrek’s Specialty Shops. Most importantly, in 1948 she started working at Stockton’s Electric.

In 1951, as she would tell you, she married the boss, Russell Stockton, and together they had three children: Jill, Walter and Leighton.

She championed her community, volunteering for C.G.I.T, both Carlyle History Books, the Canada and Saskatchewan Centennial Celebrations, Homecoming ’71, numerous fundraisers and was a founding member of the Dickens’ Festival. She was also a long time contributor to the Carlyle Observer.

Family was most important to Alyce. She was a loving and nurturing wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Although she was the second youngest of her siblings, she became the matriarch of her greater family, holding a special place in the hearts of many of her nieces and nephews. She embraced her close friends as family and was “Grandma” or “Auntie Alyce” to many of them.

For over 60 years she lived in her little house, in the big yard, and her wish was to remain at home as long as possible. This was accomplished through the support of her loving community and her “Earth Angels” with whom she’d been blessed.

She spent her final days in respite at the Moose Mountain Lodge, in Carlyle, where she was welcomed by a warm and caring staff, while still being able to receive comfort from her friends and family, She passed, peacefully, on January 17, 2017 surrounded by her “Earth Angels”.

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday May 20, 2017 at 2:00 P.M. at Carlyle United Church.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Dickens Festival c/o the Town of Carlyle.

Day by day

By Linda Wegner It’s been that kind of spring: sun and cloud today, rain yesterday and forecast again for tomorrow. Across our country flooding has reached emergency proportions and out here, at least, even when the sun does shine, it’s accompanied by a nippy breeze. For whatever reason, the seasons seem confused as to when they are supposed to begin and end.

In order to avoid a litany of my feelings on the matter, however, I decided to gather a few pertin-

ent quotes. I’ll start with one by Lew Schneider: “We use a really strong sun-block when we go to the beach with the kids.

It’s SPF 80: You squeeze the tube, and a sweater comes out.”

Here’s another from an anonymous source: “Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.”

Then there’s this wise quote attributed to Saint Basil: “Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings

abundance to drive away the hunger.”

Right on, Saint Basil. Not only can the weather adversely affect our (at least my) attitudes, difficult times of any sort can dampen our spirits and result in a sense of gloom when we forget that God never leaves us, no matter what the forecast or the circumstances.

James, the half-brother of Jesus, wrote a letter to fellow believers in which he pointed out the value that can come from trials and afflictions if we view

them with a right attitude.

“Count it all joy when you fall into various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience [endurance or perseverance].” James 1:2,3 Are bad things suddenly turned into good things? No, but as we look to the Lord for His strength and comfort, we will find ourselves stronger and increasingly able to reap greater abundance of spiritual nourishment.
