Lampman Lions Sports Weekend puts “fun” in fundraising

An annual favourite, the parade which had numerous entries even saw both MLA Dan D’Autremont and MP Dr. Robert Kitchen, partake in the activities.

Kelly Running Observer Staff

The weekend was an exciting one in Lampman as the Lampman and District Lions hosted its annual sports weekend from June 2-4.

The event brings home those that have moved away and attracts many people from the surrounding area to partake in slo-pitch (26 teams entered) and women’s fastball (four teams entered).

“It was a busy weekend and the weather held up for us, which is nice,” Brittany Fox explained, laughing that they usually get some rain. “We ended up canceling the volleyball and the street hockey tournament, we didn’t have enough teams in those events, but will try to offer them again in the future.”

A community builder the event, although spearheaded by the Lions and Lampman Recreation, sees the entire town come together with businesses, clubs, other service groups, and churches coming

together to ensure a successful weekend.

This togetherness also saw the Mayor of Lampman, Sean Paxman, and the Town Foreman, Jay Jones, dedicate time at the dunk tank where for $5 people were given three throws to try and drop them into the tank.

The annual Street Dance rocked the night away on Saturday, June 3, with Third Degree Birnz featured.

From front page - Lampman Sports Weekend “The street dance was great!” Fox stated.

“Everyone had a good time and it was very busy again this year.”

Multiple kids’ activities were found throughout the weekend as well including a movie at the rink, magician, bouncy castles, petting zoo, and more.

“This year we actually made a record profit in the kids’ area.

Instead of face painting this year we had a kids’ craft corner set up and it went over really well,” Fox explained.

“We don’t have our final numbers yet, but it was a successful weekend for the Lions and the Rec Board.”

Two family favourites of the weekend included the fireworks on Friday night, which were a new addition and something everyone enjoyed, and the annual parade was once again a hit with numerous entries involved from decorated bicycles

to the town’s zamboni.

“There were about 40 floats entered and everyone put in a lot of work in them; they looked great!” Fox exclaimed.

Another new feature, which many enjoyed was the bonfire held at the beer gardens: “Once the sun goes down on a plus 30 day it does get a little chilly out, so there were lots of compliments on the bonfire.”

Overall the weekend was a great success in both its ability to bring a community and surrounding area together, but also in its ability to raise fund for the Lions and other service groups involved with the event.

Fox added a heartfelt thank you to everyone: “Thank you to all of the volunteers and sponsors for helping to ensure the weekend was a success and also to everyone who came out and supported the weekend!”

Small school concerns arise at Manor SCC meeting

The family of BERT & FLORENCE HALL invite you to a celebration of their

Kelly Running

69th Wedding Anniversary!

The public school system is a juxtaposition of being; it offers free education for everyone, but at the same time the divisions within the system are allocated a certain amount of tax dollars and this must be utilized in a way to ensure the best, most equal education is available to each student.

A conundrum as although every school is different, the most fair way to deal with a large expanse of differing populations is to develop a formula determining student to teacher ratios.

The Manor School Community Council welcomed South East Cornerstone Public School Division’s Deputy Director Kelly Hilkewich and Superintendent of Schools East Kevin Hengen to join Principal Kelly Logan to discuss staffing concerns with the public.

Hengen presented to the community, explaining the formula the school division uses when determining how many teachers should be placed in a school for the upcoming year: “There’s a staffing process, which takes place based on the numbers of students in the school this year and the projections for next year.”

Tea to be held Saturday, June 10th from 2pm - 4pm at the Carlyle United Church Hall.

He explained that in these calculations Kindergarten students are counted as half students, one Response To Intervention teacher is needed to provide extra help, administration time is worked into the formula, unassigned time also known as prep time, and a small school factor.

Traditionally prep time has been set at 10 percent of a teacher’s schedule, but to create equity amongst all teachers across the board this has been set to seven percent.

Using this formula, before the small school factor, Manor qualifies for 4.61 teachers.

“We recognize that small schools like this [K-12] couldn’t run a program with that, so we then visit the small school factor thresholds and have determined that Manor needs 5.5 teachers next year,” Hengen added.

It’s been projected from current numbers that Manor will have 46.5 students in K-9 – Kindergarten students are considered halftime thus count as 0.5 in these calculations – which qualifies them for 3.5 teachers within the small school factor. Projected for grades 10-12 is a student population of 25, which qualifies them for 2 teachers within the small school factor. Thus, the school division has attempted to create uniformity across the division by looking at numbers of students.

Currently Manor School has 55 students in K-9, which qualifies them for 4 teachers and 30 students in 10-12, which qualifies them for 2 teachers. Thus, they will be reduced by 0.5 teachers in the elementary end.

The school division, a public entity, must operate in a way that would be fair to all schools within their jurisdiction, thus they use these formulas in each school to determine how many teachers will be needed based on projected numbers for the following year.

“We give the smallest schools the most support and Manor is our second smallest school in the division,” Hengen stated in regards to the small school factor.

By simply looking at the numbers, however, community members are upset. Voicing their concerns one individual said, “Looking at the numbers, the numbers do make sense; but, kids aren’t numbers. Each child has different needs and what if your calculations don’t work for the school?”

With what the div-

ision has set out, Logan has been working on scheduling options. Option one for the school would be to have K,1,2 in a class, grades 3-6 in a class, then grades 7/8, 9/10, and 11/12 in classes together. Option two would see K,1,2 together, grades 3,4,5 in class with each other, grades 6,7,8 together, and 9/10 and 11/12 splits.

The scheduling is a concern as well, will teachers have enough time to work with students. During the presentation one student did speak up, passionately about her situation and want to learn, “I’m smart, but I have a tough time getting out what I’m trying to say.”

She stated that she needs help writing exams, but that she feels teachers in the school often don’t have the time to dedicate to this assistance – which the numbers on the spreadsheet says should work out. She explained that the teachers do their best, but that they don’t always have the time and so she struggles. She added that she’s seen others in the school as well that need assistance, but from her perspective aren’t receiving this.

Additional assistance in a classroom such as an Educational Associate is determined based on the kinds of needs of a youth.

In some cases they work one on one with a student, while other times an EA may work with multiple students. Assessments of needs are done outside of school, however, and must be identified within the school in order to look at the addition of an EA. With the multi-class classrooms parents added that they were concerned about the high teacher turnaround in a demanding job where teachers are multi-unit planning and teaching, which burns them out quicker than in other schools. This included concerns for all extracurricular programs as well as busing schedules – members of the public claimed that when busing boundaries changed four years ago that their numbers in the school dropped.

“We’re concerned about the quality of education, the teacher turnaround, and the budget cuts; and there comes a point where you either have to close or staff it,” a community member stated. “As much as the community doesn’t want to see it closed, but when does it come down to that?”

Hilkewich answered, “We understand your frustration. For small

schools we do what we can, and in Manor we’ve allocated almost a full teacher more because of the small school factor.

That’s what we can do, we have seven or eight other schools with the same story, but we’re trying the best we can to utilize our resources and support small schools.”

Ultimately the numbers dictate the funding each year and this equation is used for each school in the division.

A response from the audience replied, “It feels like a losing battle. We hear about the numbers for you and you hear the heartfelt and personal from us; but, it feels like your minds are already made up… There has to be a way to look at a school on a personal level, kids aren’t textbook, they’re not numbers.”

Hengen responded by saying, “I appreciate your passion. We do the best we can to help support small schools. We’re doing the best we can with the resources we have.”

While Hilkowich added, “Teacher cuts are based solely on numbers.

It’s how it’s always been and it’s a hard discussion, personal versus numbers.

What we’ve done, however, is look across the school division and have made it so the same number of kids get a teacher. Relatively the same amount of students will be facing a teacher; so, although we have different grades in Manor sitting and looking at a teacher, the classroom is set up to be a classroom of a good learning size.”

They went on to say that these numbers may reflect differently in the fall and if there is an influx of students, then the formula is conducted again which may reflect in teachers needed in the school.

A different option moving forward is potentially joining in a proposition with G.F. Kells High School and Carlyle Elementary School in requesting a new school be built in Carlyle that would have K-12 students under one roof. The small Manor SCC of four parents this year were not willing to make that decision earlier this year and requested the division approach the community, as they would be in a better position to inquire with the community, to figure out what people want to see moving forward.

This process and application must take place each year, so although it wasn’t something looked at closely this year, is an option moving forward.

Carlyle Fun Dayz Celebrates th Community and Canada’s 150 Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

After a successful start in 2016, Carlyle Fun Dayz is set to return to the community on Saturday, Aug. 19 and will feature a parade, a small midway, an inflatble activity zone, a street dance, musical performances, a beer garden, a farmer’s market, food trucks, fireworks, and more.

“We’re basing our fair on the fair in Morden, Manitoba where their entire Main Street is shut down and people can walk around the midway while walking through the town,” says event organizer Jenn Sedor. “Instead of having a fairground that’s on the outskirts of town and charging people per car, Carlyle Fun Dayz is something that people can attend and enjoy and see the community, too.”

“Last year was a total success,” says Sedor. “It was more like a block party, but we deliberately did it that way to gauge interest and if the interest was there - and it was.”

“This year, we have created a whole fair and it’s one where it’s easy for people to walk to the different attractions and by doing so, explore Carlyle.”

“This year, we’re also celebrating Canada’s 150th, so that’s another reason the committee is happy to have done Carlyle Fun Dayz already last year,” adds Sedor. “We’re adding a lot this year, so it will still be a steep learning curve and a lot of work, but I’m confident that it will be a great day for people of all ages.”

Sedor says the committee welcomes volunteers and adds that they’re “A great group to work with.”

“The Carlyle Fun Dayz Committee is awesome,” she says. “Nicole Currie is our business rep, Tim Sedor is our parade marshall and is also on our mainstage committee. Rolland Bouchard is our

advertising guru, Michelle Romaniuk is our rink rep and Natalie Miller is our treasurer.”

“We’re very happy to welcome volunteers and they’re greatly appreciated,” says Sedor.

The event will officially begin with a Main Street parade at 11 a.m., preceeded by a pancake breakfast at the Carlyle Sports Arena hosted by the Carlyle & District Lions Club.

“Last year, the parade kicked off with kids riding their decorated bikes down Main Street and this year, we’re continuing that tradition,” says Sedor.

“We had 35 floats in 2016 and we’re hoping to add to that number this year. I can tell you that one of our parade entries is a VW Beetle sporting a custom-quilted cover that was crafted by a quilting club, so we’re off to a fun start.”

“Our Main Street merchants will also feature special promotions and events during the weekend,” says Sedor. “So stay tuned.”

“Close to Main Street, the Rusty Relics Museum will be hosting High Tea,” she says. “And near the library, part of Souris Avenue will be blocked off and transformed into the Co-op Family Fun Zone. There will be a bounce house, facepainting, fire truck games and the Co-op Kids Station. And nearby, there will be a Farmer’s Market and Trade Show.”

“And any interested sellers can text me at: (306)575-7290,” says Sedor.

The area near the Carlyle Sports Arena will be home to Fun Dayz’ fairground attractions, says Sedor.

“There will be an inflatable activity zone inside the rink, which is also an arena fundraiser,” she explains. “We’re calling it the ‘Teen Zone’ but it’s suitable for all adults. It’s basically an inflatable midway and it will feature laser tag, obstacle courses, jousting, a giant hamster

ball, mini-golf and more. To enter it’s a flat-rate fee - your wristband will get you in.”

“Outside, Big Sky Amusements are bringing a traditional mini-midway to Carlyle, with two traditional rides for adults and two for kids. Those rides will be priced at a dollar per ride.”

“There will also be a food truck fair, with our own Michael’s Coffee Shop and Bakery being one of the confirmed vendors. There will be a corn roast supper and we’re planning a beer garden later in the evening at our street dance, too.”

“All of the other attractions around the rink are free,” adds Sedor. “Our main stage will feature free entertainment for all ages - and we’ve got the Bromantics confirmed already.”

“Weather permitting, we’ll have an outdoor street dance near the rink and of course, the evening will be topped off with a fireworks display south of the rink around 10 p.m.”

“In keeping with the spirit of community, the committee’s working hard to make Carlyle Fun Dayz a true community event - affordable and with something to offer all ages,” says Sedor.

“We’re thrilled that Carlyle Fun Dayz is back for a second year and it’s truly an event for all ages. Not only will we celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday as a community, but we’re looking forward to welcoming visitors and showing them all Carlyle has to offer.”

What began as a way for the Boutin family to honour their late father and grandfather - Lionel Boutin - has grown to become a touching tradition which allows anyone in the area to honour a loved one who has passed on.

Carlyle’s Prairie Dog Drive-In held its third annual Memorial Night on Saturday, June 3 and like other years, the unique event attracted a large crowd and also raised money for local charities.

“Dad was a fixture at the drive-in,” says Ray Boutin, the Prairie Dog’s proprietor. “He really liked hanging out at the theatre and he was an awesome greeter at the gate.

And as part of Memorial Night, we do a slide show on the big screen - and I know Dad would really enjoy having his picture up there.”

Prairie Dog owners Ray, his wife Frances (Boutin)

and daughters Janelle and Simone are also delighted that the event benefits local charities - the Mya Fehrenbach Memorial Fund, the Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge, Carlyle Fire and Rescue, and the Kenosee Boys and Girls Camp.

“Chinese lanterns are $5 each and The Pearl Boutique in Carlyle is kind enough to sell them in advance and of course, we sell them here at the drive-in the night of the event,” says Ray. “The proceeds from those lantern sales and matching contributions from some local businesses allow us to make this a memorial night with a lasting legacy for our community.”

“Every year during intermission, we pause the show for at intermission for a dedication. If you want to, we’ll project a picture of your loved on on the drive-in screen during this time,” says Ray. “But you don’t have to. If you like, you can just join everyone in launching a lantern.”

“It was a great turnout this year,” he adds. “The wind died down enough to set the lanterns off. It’s a beautiful moment when they soar,” says Ray. “And it’s one of the feel-good evenings of the season.”

“We personally, have found that lighting and releasing lanterns to honour special people in our lives is very meaningful to us,” says Frances. “And we’re happy to share our family tradition with the community.”

“We get people from miles around and every year,” says Ray. “I can’t help but think how tickled my dad would be to see that we’d filled the place with people.”

Carlyle’s Prairie Dog Drive-In hosted its third annual Memorial Night, Saturday, June 3. What began as a way for the Boutin family to honour the memory of their late patriarch, Lionel Boutin, has grown to become a touching tradition in which anyone wishing to honour a loved one who has passed is invited to purchase and launch a memorial lantern during the event. Proceeds from lantern sales benefit local charities. Prairie Dog proprietor Ray Boutin (pictured here, lighting a lantern) says: “It’s probably one of the feel-good events of the season. We get people from miles around and every year, I can’t help but think how tickled my dad (Lionel Boutin) would be to see that we’d filled the place with people.”

100 years of 4-H Saskatchewan celebrated in Stoughton

Pet Hotel In Home Pet Sitting Doggie Daycare Dog Walking House Sitting

Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Crossroads Multiple 4-H Club hosted its celebration of 4-H Saskatchewan’s 100th anniversary and the club’s annual achievement day on Saturday, June 3.

“The 4-H program helps young people discover where they shine by letting them explore what they love, discover what they don’t and try new things until they become a natural!” 4-H Saskatchewan describes their program online.

The event was hosted between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Stoughton Fairgrounds. It began with project judging at 10 a.m. and was followed by an impressive police dog demo at 11 a.m., which attendees were extremely impressed by.

“It was a combination Achievement Day, 100th anniversary of 4-H in Saskatchewan, and Canada’s 150th,” Gayla Gilbertson, one of the organizers, explained.

The Crossroads Club then served its “Famous Beef on a Bun” for lunch while local musicians entertained including the Caragana Ramblers, Morgan and Donna Turk, Michele Amy, and WoolTree Grove.

The Beef Club show at 2 p.m. was held for youth to display their beef project animals.

“We held a cow plop lotto, and the cow went on a square which was unpurchased, so the proceeds, over $300, was given to the Legion for their new roof,” Gilbertson explained.

A photo booth, carnival games, and old time races were also enjoyed before a steak supper was hosted at the Legion followed by a dance, making for a day of fun and entertainment in celebration of Saskatchewan 4-H. “We were getting back to the roots of 4-H and decided to host old time games like the threelegged race, gunny sack races, wheel barrel races, and an apple bobbing competition, which was a highlight for many of the kids,” Gilbertson said of the activities.

The top five in each event had their names pulled for door prizes from local sponsors.

The Stoughton 4-H was first organized in 1933 under Stoughton, Heward, and District 4-H Club through the leadership of D.A.

Tracy Beaulieu (306)575-9950

One by one each year flew by since you both said “I do”.

60 years of memories, shared by the two of you.

From big events and holidays to simple daily pleasures.

Some tearful times along life’s way, some joys that can’t be measured.

One by one each year now gone, but still they’re yours forever.

Each and every memory of sixty years together!

60 Year Anniversary

Youth partake in fun carnival games during the Crossroads Multiple 4-H Anniversary and Achievement Day on Saturday, June 3.

Bowen, with 24 members partaking. In 1967 Beef was phased out due to a lack of interest, but was reorganized in 1978. In 1950 Robert Goudy organized the Rock Lake 4-H Grain Club, and in 1965-66 the Stoughton Multiple 4-H Club came together. Eventually the clubs morphed into one as member numbers ebbed and flowed.

“The year went very well,” General Leader Anne Kernaleguen said.

“We had kids participate in Wood Working, Clover Buds, Light Horse, Beef, Canine, and Photography.”

“In the past we’ve had welding, archery, sewing, scrapbooking, and more,” Gilbertson added.

The club has a total of 15 youth from Stoughton and surrounding area who participated this past year.

“A big thank you to all of our sponsors,” Kernaleguen added.

“We always welcome new members, anyone six to 21, and there are unlimited projects – so, anything they’re interested we can set something up for them.”

Youth who participated in Beef will host their Achievement Day on Saturday, June 24.

“This is also our farewell year to Anne who has been General Leader for about 14 years and she’s been integral to our club,” Gilbertson explained. “We’re also saying good bye to two graduating members this year who have been very involved, Liam Hagen and Kyle Knibbs.

And we appreciate the continued support of local sponsors because we wouldn’t be able to continue 4-H in small towns without their efforts.”

This year those in-

volved with the Crossroads 4-H Club participated in speeches, which included some moving onto the Regional level; they attended the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair in Brandon for 4-H Day where they marched in a parade and met Miss Rodeo Canada and happened to be the only Saskatchewan 4-H club there; there are also ski trip opportunities, curling bonspiels, scholarship opportunities, and 4-H exchange opportunities with youth from other clubs.

“We’re hoping to do something along the same lines next year to promote the club and raise awareness about 4-H,” Gilbertson said.

“Town kids and farm

The family of Jim and Mary Boettcher extend a cordial invitation to friends and neighbours to attend a come and go tea in their honor.

kids can both benefit from 4-H and any interest they have can be created in the club.”

“If anyone has any skills that they would like to share, that’s how we are able to offer different interests. This year we had woodworking and it was offered by a local guy going through his journeyman’s who used to be a 4-H member. So, if someone has skills we can see how we can make it fit into our 4-H Club.”

Gilbertson adds that www.4-H.sk.ca is a helpful website to learn more and encourages people to get involved and as the 4-H motto declares “Learn to do by doing.”

Tea will be held on Saturday, June 24th at the Alida Hall at 2:00 - 5:00 p.m.

The Ross LeBlanc band will be playing music for everyone.

Quote of the Week . . .

“There are some people who, if they don’t already know, you can’t tell ‘em”

- Yogi Berra

Education in small schools

I grew up on a farm 15 miles south of Admiral, about 30 miles from Shaunavon, so really the middle of nowhere.

When I was in Kindergarten, Admiral had a K-12 school. The next year it became a K-7 school; high school students were sent to Shaunavon. The Kindergarten teacher was the secretary, typing Kelly Running teacher for the older grades, and Observer Staff the librarian. One teacher taught grades 1-3 in a classroom, the principal taught grades 4-7 in a classroom, and our Learning Support Teacher taught 6/7 Social Studies and Science, while the principal taught the 4/5 split in those subjects – our LST was only there for mornings and went to Cadillac for the afternoons and our “classroom” with her was actually in a hallway with long tables and chairs surrounding them. By the time I was in grade 7, our LST had taken a job in Shaunavon and we were left with three staff for 22 students. The school has since closed.

I personally value the type of education I received. I feel it provided me with essential life skills. Our teachers would manage time and the classroom extremely effectively and within our quad for example we were separated into a 4/5 and 6/7 split.

For French class, one group would be at a round table at the front one day, while the other group remained at their desks. Our teacher worked with one group and the other would review the material together from the day before; once she got them going would come teach the other group and during that time the first group would be working on their new assignment, then once we were done the lesson she’d be back to the other group checking on them and answer questions as needed for the rest of the period.

The next day it flipped as to who got the lesson first versus who reviewed.

In this fashion we learned how to work independently, how to work in a group – to problem solve together – if you didn’t know how to do something, someone else might. We didn’t copy work, but were allowed to ask other students questions if we were struggling and the teacher was busy – as long as we weren’t being unruly. We were small school strong; a tight knit community that supported each other.

So, when it comes to concerns of kids being together in elementary school classes, I look back on my experiences fondly. However, when it comes to the high school end it does worry me that students potentially aren’t prepared for heading out into the real world – aren’t getting the classes they need for the education they want to pursue after school.

Everyone wants what is fair, what will work best in the system… but, what is “fair?” If I break a cookie in half and give you a portion is it fair that my piece is slightly larger? Or, if I let you choose and you take the slightly larger piece, is that fair? When working with something like public schools it’s difficult to say what is fair. The community sees a teacher being cut, a person who is part of the school; while the school division is looking at numbers and sees that there are less students here and more there, so how do they best accommodate that? Is it fair to larger schools that there’s a small school factor to boost teacher numbers? Is it fair to smaller schools that large schools have a greater population and thus will likely have more “in need” students qualifying them for more EA’s?

It honestly seems like a terribly difficult situation on both fronts and I have no answers. I just know that I value my small school foundations and feel for those that currently have to deal with this conundrum.

Observer

Making each other just a little bit better Along with the track and field meet, trips to the park or pool, warm classrooms and restless legs, one of the things that stand out about the month of June for me as an elementary school student was the public speaking event we always prepared for.

Students in grades 1-4 chose a poem to memorize; those in grades 5-7 wrote a speech about any topic of interest to them.

Shelley Luedtke Teachers would bring out copies of poetry books to scour as we sought out just the right poem. For some it seemed the most important criterion was simply that it be short. Once we hit the older grades we were given the green light to choose a speech topic and start researching and writing. Best assignment of the year!

Not just because it was one I particularly enjoyed, but because I found it so interesting hearing what topics everyone else was going to write about.

Once our speech was complete we would practice with a friend to get comfortable for the big day—the day we spoke in front of the whole close—in preparation for the even bigger day to come. (can’t you just feel the excitement building??)

Anyway, on one very special afternoon we would sit and listen to every student give their presentation while the teacher graded our efforts and took careful notes. Why the meticulous evaluation? Because at the end he/she would be choosing one student to represent the classroom at the big competition to be held in the gym. In front of the whole school. And parents. And a panel of judges; one from the newspaper, one from the radio station, and one from the local TV station. This was the big time.

So one by one, in classrooms all around the school, each student got up and recited their poem or shared their speech and tried to guess who was going to be selected for the main event. And every year, in our class, it was…Julie. She always seemed to choose the perfect poem or write the best speech and deliver it with poise and polish. Every year as our class sat in the audience we would proudly support the representative from our class, even as we wished, if just once, it might be somebody else up there.

When we entered grade 7 a rather major shift in our classrooms occurred when we were shuffled to change the dynamics. It shifted something else too, something that I didn’t think about until our teacher, Mr. Meyers, announced it was time to begin working on our speeches. Julie was now in the other class. That meant someone else in our room was now going through. It went unspoken, but several of us felt a new opportunity was opening up.

We began crafting our speeches, and for me that meant telling the true story of a school bus hijacking in California in a story-behind-the-headlines topic I had been thinking about for months. Critique and good suggestions from previous teachers served me well. I may not have won in the past but I was given the tools for good preparation.

As we presented our speeches in class there was a nervous energy running through the room. One of us was going to get the nod. To my absolute surprise...it was me.

On a Thursday afternoon in June I took my place on the stage seated beside Julie who, naturally, was the representative from the other classroom.

She spoke about bees. Perhaps my topic caught the attention of the judges in the news industry because at the end of the afternoon it was announced I had won. As excited as I was, I was also worried. How was Julie going to react? She always won. Always.

Public speaking competitions. Track and field first place ribbons. Book report awards.

Julie congratulated me and said something that has stayed with me. “You and I make each other better.” I understood what she meant. I worked harder in an attempt to try and best her. So did others. The competition pushed her to continually strive to improve. And she did.

It is good having people in our lives who challenge us, who can push us a bit and cause us to dig a little deeper and swing for the fences. They are the kind of people who not only achieve good things themselves but also want those around them to succeed. They are hardworking and diligent; yet encouraging and gracious as well. They are people who truly strive to bring out the best in others. I am fortunate that I have had a few Julies in my life in the years since.

Better still, I hope I’ve been a Julie to someone else.

That’s my outlook.

Things to do in the middle of the night If they could harness the problem solving power of a woman’s brain the whole planet would be in a better place. Woodland creatures would only dine on wild plants and leave gardens and orchards alone. Someone would finally invent the teleporter of Star Trek fame. Illnesses of all kinds would resolve themJocelyn Hainsworth selves. Wars would be a thing of the past so that mothers didn’t have to worry about sending their children off to foreign battlegrounds. Or the other side of the coin – where mothers spend their worrying hours wanting to get their children out of harm’s way – like not being kidnapped at school or being blown up at a market. Also, all woodticks and tent caterpillars would be banished to Mars.

You must understand that these are not my standard, run-of-the-mill, daytime problem solving skills I am talking about here. That mundane skill set is used up with meal planning and sorting clothes for laundry. Anybody in the house could do that, although typically they don’t.

No, these superpowers of knowledge and understanding only occur in the middle of the night. The cosmos only aligns itself properly for such brain activity between the hours of 12:30 and approximate-

ly 4:00 in the morning. Longer if I have something big going on the next day and could really use the extra sleep. That’s when despite my best efforts to push away the responsibility of saving the Earth, it is thrust upon me anyway along with forming a list of jobs to do in the morning, planning next week’s column, putting together an agenda for a meeting I have to chair this week, and wondering what to make for supper.

The theme of last night’s session was how this summer is going to stack up: the general observation is pretty darned high. In the immediate future is the planning and production of July 1st festivities. All these years I’ve been the kind of person who just let that day take care of itself – we might go, we might not – but I now find myself on the committee responsible for planning it. We’ve been planning stuff since the New Year but it’s all coming down to the nitty gritty now: so many details, so many lists, so many last minute things to do ... and hoping people come and join the fun so it was all worth while.

Thanks to this unwelcome (at 2:00 in the morning everything but sleep is unwelcome) opportunity to plan I will be spending a fair bit of time today in town pricing out supplies we will require for the concession stand and sourcing the extra volunteers we will need to man it. There are other behind-thescenes things to check up on, as well. It’s going to

be a full day ... and then our meeting is tonight so I need to get an agenda down on paper. I think I worked on that, in my head, from 2:45 till 3:20.

Having taken care of these things I circled back to what had started the whole cascade off in the first place – the whole summer of 2017 - namely the most outside-the-box thing for me; being a coach/ presenter at a writer’s retreat in mid June. I’m looking forward to it but nervous too ... and I have to switch a dentist appointment because I will be gone ... gotta remember to do that in the morning ... and it will mean I will miss the Wildlife Fish Fry ... can’t do everything ...

Once I’m home from that Canada Day 150 preparations loom large ... so many things can’t be done until the last minute. I must remember the sunscreen that day ... was nearly sick from heat and sun last year ... sure hope it doesn’t rain ...

There will be a brief lull for recovery in early July and then we will be hosting some grandsons we don’t see very often and taking Grandpa for a train ride for his big birthday. There will be visitors from Ontario and maybe a quick trip to Alberta plus a garden in full production by that time. It makes me tired just thinking about it.

But not so tired I could actually go back to sleep, of course, I still had about 45 minutes before the sun came up and I still had to work on world peace and what to do about Donald Trump.

Meet Moo Another week has come and gone. I hope everyone is enjoying the heat wave; personally, I am not. I never could hack the heat, but thank goodness for air conditioning. As I sit here (Monday morning), I am reflecting back to our busy, but fun weekend.

It started on Friday afternoon, when I finished up work for the day. It was well into the 30 deKrystyn Gillies grees and I was melting to say the least. I quickly headed to the grocery store to grab some veggies and then headed home to try and stave off my wicked headache, which I assume I got from the heat. After it subsided a bit, my husband, the toddler and my parents headed out to feed the cows.

We had acquired a baby calf to feed, so the first mission was to find him and relocate him to somewhere safe that was close by to feed every day. He was fairly easy to catch so my dad and I relocated him to our big corrals. From there, we fed a large trailer full of hay to the bovines; just one more week of feeding, yay!

When everything was fed up, we headed to the house to mix some bottles for the calf, to which he wanted absolutely no part of. He just couldn’t get the hang of the bottle, but I was able to talk him into swallowing a good part of the mixture, but he wasn’t happy.

The next morning, we headed to pick up the bucking chutes we rent for our upcoming rodeo, (shameless plug inserted here), when they were loaded, he made a side trip over to the camp for their 70th reunion and it was great to see old faces and meet lots of new people. The toddler was in her GLORY! They had a bouncy castle, so of course, she spent most of her day in that thing. She bounced and bounced and bounced some more and when they deflated the castle for supper, it was like trying to wrestle an alligator out of the swamp. In between bouncing, someone gave her a little taste of some cotton candy, to which she became instantly addicted to.

After she ate most of the bag her daddy had, she polished off the one my cousin was holding and then had no problem stealing left over bags any kid had set aside or forgotten about. I was shocked because the kid has next to no added sugar because we don’t eat a lot of “sweet stuff”. She LOVED it. I was assured that there was only a teaspoon of sugar in each bag of candy, so I felt a little better about it.

While the rest of us listened in on the service later on, my dad and the toddler explored the camp from one end to the other. They saw some “neighs”, peeked at the lake, jumped some more on the bouncy castle, played in the sand box and played in the toy truck next to the tuck shop. When every-

thing was wrapping up, my dad looked wiped and the toddler was still going strong.

How do we keep up with her all day, every day, he asked? I smiled and wondered the same, but it was awesome to see they had such a fun day. We all did!

The following day, we went to a lovely BBQ remembering family members who have left us too soon and the whole afternoon was lovely. The toddler spent the day running around the playground and keeping her daddy and papa on their toes.

A whole lot of sunscreen was used all weekend and I was thankful for the wind on Saturday because we would have melted both days for sure if we didn’t have it. No one got burnt too badly and everyone drank their weight in water I am sure. We needed something to counteract all that sugar!

Through the Lens

Finally, by Sunday morning, the calf finally figured out that us humans are its only source of food and it finally figured out the fact that the bottle is friend, not foe. This makes my life a LOT easier, I really did not want to have to fight with him every day for the next foreseeable future. This little gaffer will be sold in the fall and the money will go straight to the toddler’s bank account.

This morning the toddler reminded me about a million times that “Moo” is hungry and he needs his bottles. I was finally able to feed him without having to trap him in the head gate. Until, of course, the toddler hopped over the fence and spooked the poor thing out of its fur almost. I am sure by the time this goes to press, it will be quite used to the toddler trying to love and hug it. Fingers crossed!

Carlyle Minor Ball Days: Competition and Camaraderie

This might be it: Finally, the end for Tiger

By Bruce Penton The biggest golf tournament on the PGA Tour calendar — the U.S. Open — goes this week at Erin Hills in Wisconsin and for the ninth straight year, Tiger Woods — the winner of the 2008 Open, his last major title — will not win it.

But Woods will be a hot topic around the Open, because his downsliding career took an even further jolt in late May when he was picked up for driving “under the influence” and posing for a mug shot that will stick to him for the rest of his life like Krazy Glue.

No liquor was involved, but a combination of prescription drugs apparently caused Woods to find himself in a zombie-like state, when he tried to drive to his Jupiter, Fla., home in the early hours of the U.S. Memorial Day holiday. Police found his vehicle stopped at an intersection, his right

blinker on, the car running, and the driver, Woods, asleep at the wheel.

Woods, with 14 major titles to his credit, second only to Jack Nicklaus, has undergone a series of surgeries in recent years to fix back problems but the latest one — an anterior lumbar interbody fusion on April 19 —had his fans hopeful that the 41-yearold would finally be able to make a comeback. He said the latest procedure gave him ”instant relief” and other golfers who had undergone similar fusions suggested Tiger would be as good as new within six to eight months and would probably resume his chase to 19 majors.

Well, that’s all a pipe dream now. Woods obviously has bigger problems than a bad back. A prescription drug addiction might be one of his problems and you have to wonder if you’re re-

ceiving what sounds like sage advice about getting your life in order from fellow golfer John Daly, you’ve taken quite a fall.

Meanwhile, those who predicted fans’ interest in pro golf would fade away if Woods left the stage have been proven wrong. Like Nicklaus replaced Palmer and Norman replaced Nicklaus and Woods replaced Norman, a plethora of young stars are filling the void left by Woods.

Jordan Spieth is the new American hero, with two major titles to his credit already. Dustin Johnson is the world’s No. 1 ranked player because he hits it a mile and employs a deft short game.

Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy, Australia’s Jason Day, Spain’s Jon Rahm and Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama are young stars all seemingly capable of bursting through and dominating the game as Woods once did.

EARLY DEADLINE

Golf is a worldwide game, and all those international stars will be on display this week in Wisconsin. Woods, meanwhile, will be at home in Jupiter, trying to figure out how he has fallen so far and contemplating what appears to be a bleak future.

Norman Chad of the Washington Post, on Twitter: “Lane Kiffin signs Edith Fuller, 6 – youngest National Spelling Bee entrant – to FAU scholarship to do all spelling for 2029 football team.”

Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “(John Daly) has been unclean and unsober since 2013, when he gave up on giving up booze. As he turned 50, Daly said he drinks in moderation. He also smokes, in the moderation of an old-West locomotive.”

Ostler again: “Tiger hasn’t won anything in years, unless you count

his victory in the ‘Scariest Police Mug Shot’ contest.”

Headline at Fark. com: “You would think that Tiger Woods would know when to use a driver.”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “Green Bay has been named the Drunkest City in America by a financial website. Take that all you people who said there’s nothing to do in Green Bay after football season ends.”

Another one from Dickson: “Sports websites report that Tom Brady is trying to get receiver Julian Edelman to try bean burgers. It’s worth noting that Brady isn’t trying to get his centre to try these.”

Norman Chad again: “Even though I imagine he would have absolutely no idea what he is talking about, if Charles Barkley did a weekly show on dry walling, I probably would tune in.”

Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “The police videos of Tiger Woods’s DUI arrest are out and they do not look good.

Tiger is more confused than a Cleveland Brown in the end zone.”

Headline at TheKicker.com: “Brady gets 6th finger surgically added to hand to hold future ring.”

Nats first baseman Ryan Zimmerman, to MLB.com, on the absurdity of pitchers plunking hitters in retaliation for hitting a home run: “I don’t get to fight the pitcher when he strikes me out twice.”

Greg Cote of the Miami Herald, on the rare 1909 T-206 Honus Wagner baseball card on the auction block: “I don’t wanna say it might be a fake, but if you look closely you can see an ESPN banner on the outfield wall.”

COUNTDOWN TO CANADA’S 150TH

3 CANADA: NATURAL SOURCE OF PRIDE SINCE 1867

A large influencer from Canada’s smallest province JOSEPH ATALLAH “JOE” GHIZ (1945-1996)

“I am a Canadian and I’m proud of it. I am an Islander and proud of it. I am a Canadian and Islander of Lebanese extraction and I am proud of that as well.”

—Joe Ghiz On May 2, 1986, Joseph A. Ghiz became Prince Edward Island’s 27th premier and Canada’s first premier of non-European descent. He would go on to become an important figure both provincially and federally, and is most remembered as a staunch defender of Canadian nationalism.

Born in Charlottetown and raised by Lebanese immigrants, Joe grew up in an apartment over his parents’ corner grocery store. As a young man he studied Commerce and Law at Dalhousie, and afterwards attended Harvard where he was ultimately awarded a Master of Laws. Upon passing the bar, Ghiz returned to P.E.I. and took a position as crown prosecutor before becoming a senior partner at the firm Scales, Ghiz, Jenkins and McQuaid. Around the same time, he began his involvement with the Liberal party.

On a provincial level, Ghiz led many important initiatives.

He promoted advancement of the Island’s main industries— agriculture, fishing and tourism—and his tenure oversaw the construction of three large potato-processing plants, the inauguration of several golf courses and the expansion of a © Government of Prince Edward Island number of tourist accommodations. He also implemented a variety of social programs, most notably a drug assistance program for seniors. However, it was his leadership during a provincial plebiscite—the first in the province since 1948—that led to his most enduring legacy. In 1988, nearly 60 per cent of Islanders voted in favour of building a fixed link to the mainland.

Confederation Bridge was built several years later, connecting P.E.I. to New Brunswick and thereby, the rest of Canada.

In addition to his contributions to the Island, Joe Ghiz was also a powerful and articulate figure during the Meech Lake and Charlottetown accords. He was a consistent advocate of concessions to Quebec and an ally of the province’s premier, Robert Bourassa. He was also well known at the time for his opposition to the free trade agreement with the United States.

Within days of the referendum defeat following the Charlottetown Accord, Joe Ghiz announced his retirement from politics. He briefly returned to private practice before taking a position as dean of the Faculty of Law at Dalhousie. A year later, he left the deanship to become a justice of the Supreme Court of Prince Edward Island. He held this role until his untimely death in 1996 following a battle with colon cancer. He was 50 years old. Then-prime minister Jean Chrétien and many notable Canadian premiers attended his funeral.

Joe Ghiz is memorialized with a park, a government building and a university award that bear his name.

His political legacy was carried on by his son Robert, who served as Prince Edward Island’s 31st premier from 2007 to 2015.

infO Canada THE STORIES BEHIND OUR SYMBOLS

CANADA’S ENGLISH COMMUNITY

In the 16th century, the English were one of the first European groups to navigate Canadian shores, with the very first organized settlement springing up at Cupers Cove (now Cupids), Newfoundland, in 1610.

Substantial immigration to Canada began in the 18th century, with the English coming both directly from Europe and by way of the United States. Those who came from England were motivated by high unemployment rates back home and the offer of free land in Canada. Those who came from the U.S. were predominantly Loyalists looking to rejoin British civilization in the colonies after America achieved independence. Newcomers settled first in the Atlantic Provinces, and once Britain acquired New France in 1763, Upper Canada (Ontario) also became a hotspot.

Immigration continued well after Confederation. One large wave occurred when the Prairies were opened up. Another massive influx consisted solely of impoverished orphaned children (known as the British Home Children) who were given free passage to Canada and then made the wards of various communities. The final large wave occurred after the Second World War. The English were highly influential in establishing many of the legal and governmental institutions that characterize modern-day Canada. Our tradition of representative government is largely based on Britain’s parliamentary system, and our court structure also closely follows the English model. English common law is the basis of Canadian civil law in every province except Quebec.

Today, English Canadians make up the largest ethnic group in Canada, with more than 20 per cent of the population claiming full or partial English ancestry.

MANITOBA BIRD: GREAT GREY OWL The grey owl, largest of all the world’s owl species, was chosen to be Manitoba’s avian emblem in 1987.

This predator inhabits boreal forests and subsists almost entirely on mice and voles. Its keen hearing can detect rodents up to a foot beneath the snow.

It prefers to burrow rather than build nests.

Public Service Announcements Staff Sargeant Darren Simons reminds individuals to wear helmets when operating ATV’s.

“There was a fatality in the province earlier this year and they were

not wearing helmet, was ejected, and suffered a head injury,” Simons said. “Helmets save lives. Even when you’re just out in your pasture, something can grab the tire, and eject you without warning.”

On another note, Simons asks for parents to ensure their children know the “rules of the road,” while kids are out bicycling: “Parents please remind your children to ride on the right

For the first time, the Carlyle Club will be hosting riders from the Lion’s Motorcycle Ride for Dog Guides in Saskatchewan.

Carlyle District Lions continue community involvement From Page 18 “The riders pay for all of their expenses, except what Lions Clubs along the route give them,” she adds. “They gather pledges and they invite any motorcycle riders - Lions Club member or not - to ride with them. Individuals who ride along like this can also gather pledges, but it’s not a requirement. The only thing they’re required to do to ride along for a bit is to register on the website:www.Ride.SKLions. ca . And of course, donations over $20 are taxdeductible.”

Training a dog costs about $20,000 per animal and the canines are raised to become canine vision dogs, hearing ear dogs, seizure response dogs, service dogs, austism assistance dogs and diabetic alert dogs.

“Even in cases where dogs that are trained and in the rare cases, it doesn’t work out, those dogs are returned and adopted out,” says Holland.

“In our local area, three dogs were placed with individuals who needed them,” says Holland.

“Rider was placed with a disabled individual, Dolly was placed with a person who is blind, and Elf was a seizure response dog.”

“The Lions raise money for training these dogs, but we can’t place them with people,” she adds. “So it’s great that some people from our area benefited from this program.”

The Carlyle Lions are also supporting the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike Ride as it rolls into town on Tuesday, June 20.

“The Lions will be joining other groups and individuals from the community, either by riding, donating or both,” says Holland. “And later in the summer, the Lions will be supporting Carlyle Fun Dayz on August 19. We’ll be feeding the locals and visitors breakfast and supper and we’ll have a float in the parade.”

“We’ve also provided some financial support for the fireworks display,” she says.

Currently, the Club continues to work on its ongoing legacy project, Carlyle’s Lions Park.

“The Lions and the parents and players from Carlyle Minor Ball recently made some safety and cosmetic improvements to two ball diamonds this year,” she adds. “And we’re working with the Homespun Committee on the walking path in the Park.”

“The walking path is an ongoing project and we’ll be putting signage and other additions along the path.”

“All of these projects

are for members of our community and the Lions Club could not have supported these projects and causes without the support of the community,”

and

says Holland. “Whether it’s from other service groups, businesses or individuals, when we work together, we can achieve a lot.”

Delores Cutler honoured with Lifetime Achievement Award Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Delores Cutler of Carlyle was honoured by her provincial peers when she received the Museums Association of Saskatchewan’s (MAOS) Honorary Lifetime Achievement Award at a ceremony in Regina on Friday, May 26.

Cutler’s decades-long contribution to building, growing and maintaining Carlyle’s Rusty Relics Museum and her efforts and example in preserving the province’s history made her an obvious candidate for the award, according to MAOS officials.

“It was a complete surprise to me,” says Cutler of the honour. “I was on my way home from Regina about a month before, when I received an email from the Executive Director of the Museums Association informing me that I was named the receipient of the Honorary Lifetime Achievement Award.”

“I never thought my work was worth that, so as I said, it was a com-

plete surprise.”

Cutler’s decades devoted to the preservation of the province’s history began in 1992, when she became the supervisor of Carlyle’s Rusty Relics Museum.

“I was the supervisor for seven years,” says Cutler. “And In 1999, I became a board member and volunteer, which I continued to do until 2016. I was also secretary of the Rusty Relics Board for nine years.”

As the Rusty Relics Museum grew, so did Cutler’s influence and expertise within Saskatchewan’s preservation and heritage communites.

“I learned as I went along,” says Cutler. “I achieved my certificate in Community Museums Studies and I served one year on the board of directors of the Saskatchewan Museum Association.”

“I was a networker and co-networker for southeast Saskatchewan Museums for a number of years and I was involved with the Museum Gallery Grant program for a

number of years.”

Cutler was also part of a transformation working group and a trainer for the Introduction to Museum Standards (Saskatchewan) at museums in the province.

“It is an effort to implement display and preservation standards in all of our musuems, whether they are large or small or urban or rural,” says Cutler.

Cutler credits the success of her career with “time to connect and the desire to learn.”

“Twenty-five years ago, when I first became the Rusty Relics Museum supervisor, I never would have imagined that things would turn out this way for the museum or for my career.”

“I have a lot of people to thank especially the Museums Associations staff who worked with me, guided me and helped me through all those years.”

“And of course, my husband, Bob (Cutler).

Without him, I couldn’t have been a part of any of these things.”
