THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: AQUARIUS, PISCES AND ARIES

Week of July 2 to 8, 2017 ARIES

A mere “I love you” simply won’t cut it this week. Your partner will need to do better than that to please you. Expect a romantic surprise orchestrated by that special someone.

TAURUS

Is your vacation time fast approaching? Why stay home? You could be planning a trip abroad with friends or family, or even a long road trip for the ultimate change of scenery.

GEMINI

Home life and finances are often stressful and tend to put a damper on romantic relationships. To ease tension and live in harmony, explore other topics of conversation.

CANCER

Housework is an annoying chore. You’ll keep putting it off, but you may end up scampering around later to catch up. Your brilliant ideas will yield huge surpluses at work if you’re able to successfully convey them.

LEO

You will feel the need to improve your home’s security. To ensure your family’s peace of mind, you may decide to have an alarm system installed or better locks put in.

VIRGO

Your impulsiveness may be difficult to manage at times. Your climb up the ladder at work will be lightningquick, but you will only grasp the full measure of your new responsibilities once you’ve reached the top.

LIBRA

Home, family and projects are expensive at this time of year. Summer vacation is just around the corner, and you won’t feel able to kick back and relax until everything is just right.

SCORPIO

Sometimes you just have to put yourself first. Your generous nature will have you jumping to help loved ones in distress, but be careful not to exhaust yourself.

SAGITTARIUS

There’s no place like your cozy home to kick back, daydream and relax. And why not watch some good movies to check out of reality from time to time?

CAPRICORN

You will have your share of conversations, but the topics may be challenging. You may reveal some personal secrets that you would probably have preferred to keep to yourself.

AQUARIUS

You know that choosing quality building materials for your home isn’t a luxury; it’s a long-term investment. Don’t be afraid to remodel your space to your liking.

PISCES

While on a trip, during a conference, or even during therapy, you could meet a captivating person who will make you experience some deeply buried emotions.

You’ll manage to find balance between rest and work. However, if you’re self-employed, you won’t be able to resist checking email from time to time, despite having promised yourself to stay away.

TAURUS

Shopping is on the agenda whether you’re on vacation or not. You’ll enjoy haggling with storeowners and could come out with big savings.

You will be very social, and you’ll also want to take a breather professionally. Expect to find yourself drawing out your lunch hours to socialize with colleagues, employees and partners.

Some very lucrative real estate opportunities may come your way. A few strategic renovations could double your home’s value. At the very least, you will experience a newfound appreciation for your humble abode.

Business never stops, even during the summer holidays. You will display an uncanny knack for uncovering golden opportunities or getting contracts signed.

CAPRICORN

You will be in contact with the office while on vacation, either by sneaking a peek at your phone or by cutting short your time off to get a head start on work-related activities.

Bedrock Berries & Baskets hosts grand opening in Redvers Kelly Running Observer Staff

The community of Redvers welcomed a new business on May 4, Bedrock Berries & Baskets, opened and recently hosted their Grand Opening on Saturday, June 24. Bedrock Berries & Baskets oﬀers a wide variety of gift items and an extensive list of ice cream ﬂavours for a delicious snack from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. “About a year ago, I was looking for something to do,” Jo Bedecs, owner, explained. “I’m from Wyoming, so once I got my permanent residency I began helping out at the family business [Bedecs ReadyMix]; but, I am a little more creative than what I was doing and started making gift baskets out

of our basement. Everything from birthday and Christmas baskets, to sympathy baskets as well.” “My husband’s family make the Saskatoon pies for the Log Cabin as well, we have an orchard, so I also started helping with the pies.” They began using the kitchen at a former restaurant just north of highway 13 and it made sense to also sell gifts in there and bring people in with ice cream as well. Jo is also still creating baskets by request as well. “We’ll be doing a trial run of coffee and saskatoon muffins, biscuits, etc..., then this fall we’re planning on bringing in specialty coffees, and once the Log Cabin closes for the summer we’ll begin selling saskatoon pie by the slice here too,” Jo ex-

plained. With the coffee and baking trial run, their hours will shift to open at 9 a.m. “When we first looked into this, we approached the different businesses in town to see if this was a good idea, we wanted feedback from people in town because we didn’t want to conflict with anybody else’s business,” Frank Bedecs explained. “We wanted to create more for our community and bring in things that nobody else has,” Jo added. “So we have a lot of local Saskatchewan products, it was important to have a lot of local products, and that’s mostly all on consignment, which is great because it fills the store and gives them a place to display their cre-

ations as well.” In addition to the local ﬂare – which varies from a refurbished piano altered into a desk to bracelets made by a local high school student – Jo has also brought in teak wood pieces from Indonesia

including a beautifully unique table and chairs. “Out front we also have different pieces, which Bedecs Ready Mix sells – the planters, fire pit, picnic tables are all different items that people don’t always know that Bedecs has

available,” Jo added. Jo is thankful to have a great staﬀ as well including Kamila Sanborn, Kaye De Juan, Maddi Lovell, and Liberty Bayliss. Stop by for an ice cream and all your gift needs.

Dedicated anglers set out on cold morning for Alameda Fishing Derby Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Alameda Fishing Derby was a success despite the uncooperative Saskatchewan weather. Although cold and windy, a total of 235 anglers were out to try their luck in catching a big one out at the Alameda Dam. Moose Creek Regional Park played host to the numerous anglers throughout the day, while a beef supper was held under the tents in the Alameda Rink parking lot that evening by the Oxbow Lions. Darin McNabb, one of the organizers, of the day was disappointed in the weather, but glad to still have great support in hosting the event. “It’s a great way to bring the community together,” McNabb said. “Our rink renos are coming along. We have Custom Ice on the scene and our insulation and rebar will be going in this week; our cement should be poured July 6-7. And we’ll also have squares of cement to do a legacy board, so for $100

a piece people can get their names on that. We’ll also be looking for board sponsors and there’s other opportunities to help as well, just contact one of our sponsorship committee: Jason Hammerstein, Clayton Millions, or Carri-Lee Rutten.” “We’ve had a really busy June though with the mosquito ball league ﬁnals in town this weekend, last weekend there was the Fireman Rodeo, and the 4-H Show and Fair was this month as well” Overall, McNabb says that the rink is more than just a place to play hockey, that it’s an epicentre of the community. It’s a place for everyone to come together and enjoy small town Saskatchewan, which is why it’s important to ensure it remains running and is kept in good shape. The Alameda Fishing Derby is one of the main fundraisers the recreation group in Alameda is able to operate it and make improvements to the rink, so they are thankful to all their sponsors and participants for the 2017 Fishing Derby. 2017 Youth Winners:

Lions Ride for Dog Guides makes stop in Carlyle Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Carlyle and District Lions welcomed a group of motorcycle riders raising money for the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides. The ride has been happening in Saskatchewan for the past six years, but Darrell Deck – a rider from Bethune – says it’s the ﬁrst year they’ve ventured into southern Saskatchewan. This year they did a couple of rides around Saskatoon and into the north, and took part in this southern venture. “The motorcycle ride raises awareness – both public and amongst the clubs – and our purpose is to make this a provincial project,” Deck explained. “The service dog program that the Lions support trains dogs for vision, hearing, special needs, autism, and diabetic dogs. They take a year to a year and a half to train, plus there’s training with the dog and individual in Toronto for two to six weeks.” “There was a girl, she was 14 or 15, and had been at a school conference. There was a lady with a diabetic trained

Local Lions and community members helped the visiting Lions on their Ride for Dog Guides through raising $400 in donations to the cause. dog. Out of 100 kids there the dog left the woman’s side and put its chin on this girl’s lap. The lady went over and asked if the girl had diabetes and suggested she check her blood sugar. She did and she was low.” “It’s amazing to see them in action.” Each dog, however, costs approximately $20,000 to train and once the Lion’s Foundation chooses an individual to give a dog to,

the Lions also pay for veterinary costs and will replace dogs as needed. “For example, a vision dog may only be able to work for 7 to 10 years depending on the breed of dog and other factors,” Deck stated. “If the dog’s hips go, which happens in larger dogs, then it can no longer be a vision dog because you’re relying on this animal to get you across a street, but if it stumbles because of hip problems that puts you

both in danger. So, the dog may still be a good pet, but it is no longer a good service animal.” The riders who came through Carlyle were Gary Jopko from Rhein, Tom Armstrong from Saskatoon, Darrell Deck and Cindy Stirling from Bethune, and Ron Elkin and Kelly Clay from Lumsden. Joining them from Stoughton on Saturday, June 24, was local motorcycle enthusiast Larry Brady. Armstrong explained,

“This is the only Lions ride in Western Canada, the other rides take place in Ontario and out east, but six years ago we decided to do this. People get tired selling tickets and holding raffles, and it can be difficult to figure out ways to fundraise; but, this is something that’s easy for us to do. We pay our own way and we have Lions Clubs across the province who will host us. It’s really just getting friends together and go-

ing for a spin, and taking a pledge sheet with you.” “There’s not a lot of Lions that necessarily ride, but it’s a project that brings everyone in the province together – Lions and non-Lions alike.” The Carlyle and District Lions Club hosted a BBQ dinner in the evening and were taking donations. With the support of the community the Carlyle Club was able to donate $400 to the riders.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike toured Carlyle in an effort to raise awareness and funds. Efforts put into fundraising resulted in a total of $5,317.50 being donated to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Carlyle and District Lions, CFY Girls Group, Moose Mountain Lodge, and Cornerstone Family and Youth brought the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike to Carlyle on Tuesday, June 20. Together they raised a total of $5,317.50 prior to the touring of the Big Bike, which also earned them a VIP title. Top fundraisers included Wayne Wilson with $725, Ron Paul with $535, and Lorri Matthewson with $515. The Heart and Stroke Foundation explains heart disease as conditions, which affect the structure and function of the heart. Strokes occur when blood stops flowing to any part of your brain, which damages brain cells – effects of a stroke depends on the part of the brain damaged and

the amount of damage done. According to their website, 9 in 10 Canadians have at least one risk factor for stroke or heart disease and approximately 80 percent of premature stroke and heart disease can be prevented through a healthy lifestyle – healthy eating habits, being physically active and living smoke free. Lifestyle risk factors include: unhealthy weight – increased weight can mean high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes, which are all risk factors for stroke; unhealthy diet – food fuels your body and can aﬀect your health; not enough exercise – inactive people have double the risk of heart disease and stroke – being active helps your heart, brain, muscles, bones, and mood, just make sure the type of activity is appropriate for your ability; smoking –

quitting smoking makes a significant difference in risk of stroke; alcohol – heavy drinking and binge drinking are risk factors for high blood pressure and stroke; recreational drug use; birth control and hormone replacement therapy – estrogen can increase the risk of a heart attack, stroke, or mini-stroke the Heart and Stroke Foundation states; and stress – high stress levels or prolonged stress affects cholesterol and blood pressure. The Heart and Stroke Foundation is dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. They aim to improve peoples’ lives, to help them reach healthy lifestyles free of heart disease and stroke, and have been doing so for over 60 years. Part of this has been funding life-saving research, which has led to breakthroughs in heart transplant surgery and revolutionary stroke treatments. (www.heartandstroke.ca)

Raina’s Record: Supporters raise nearly $3,000 for Sask. Down Syndrome Society Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

For the past two years, four-year-old Raina Miers of Carlyle has inspired family members and friends to form ‘Raina’s Crew’ - a team of runners, walkers and most importantly, fundraisers - who support the Saskatchewan Down Syndrome Society through their participation in the organization’s annual Regina Fun Run. This year, ‘Raina’s Crew’ raised nearly $3,000 for the SDSS at the 2017 Fun Run, held Sunday, June 3 at Regina’s Rick Hansen Park and although ﬁnal funds are not yet tallied, event organizers told

the group that they may have topped the national total for funds raised in Canada for this year’s Fun Runs. “The race officials called Raina a ‘rock star,’ says Raina’s mother, Kellie Jones. “And although the final figures aren’t in yet - because donations are still coming in - they also told us that our team raised the most money in Canada during the Down Syndrome Fun Runs.” “Last year -which was our first year doing the run -we raised $700,” adds Jones. “So we’re thrilled with the support we received this year.

Dyer, a family friend - whose family raised $600 for the SDSS at her son’s wedding - says that her ﬁrst-ever run was especially meaningful. “It brought tears to my eyes,” she says. “Seeing all of these little ones having fun and knowing we were helping such a good cause. I plan to be back next year, too. It was a great day and a great cause.” “It was phenomenal,” says Jones. “We received so much community support, family support and support from our friends. I can’t thank everyone enough. We’re so grateful and people from this area are so gener-

Four-year-old Raina Miers of Carlyle inspired a team of family members and friends to raise money for and run in the Saskatchewan Down Syndrome Society’s 2017 Regina Fun Run. Together, they raised nearly $3,000 for the cause - which may be this year’s Canadian record.

Jason and Jeff Matity have a passion for fishing and use their skills to create how to fishing videos online at getfishing. ca; but, the brothers will be out and about during Saskatchewan’s free fishing weekend – July 8-9 – to put on Learn to Fish seminars at various Provincial Parks. Jason will be found at Little Kenosee in Moose Mountain Provincial Park at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 8, and at Buffalo Pound on July 9th, while Jeff will be teaching at Duck Mountain on July 8th and at Echo Valley on July 9th. “My brother and I learned how to fish on Kenosee when we were kids, it was where our love affair of catching perch on every cast developed,” Jason stated. “The water was high and there were lots of fish back then, and now the water has come back and it’s wonderful. This is an opportunity for our younger generation to get into fishing and we’re really excited to be able to do that.” The Learn to Fish seminars are an initiative that Sask Parks has undertaken to help encourage people to embrace all that Saskatchewan has to of-

Jason Matity will be out at Moose Mountain Provincial Park – Little Kenosee – to conduct Learn to Fish workshops at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 8 – during Saskatchewan’s free fishing weekend. Jason will also be at Buffalo Pound on July 9. fer. They also host Learn to Camp and other programs for people interested in spending time in nature. “They set up the program [Learn to Fish] and needed people to teach it, so we were asked for our expertise in fishing,” Jason explained. The program will last two hours with the first half an hour to 45 minutes focused on the basics – the kinds of fish they’ll be able to catch, how to catch them, about different tackle, and how to do a basic cast safely. The rest of the time will be

focused on enjoying their time fishing and if there are fish caught, Jason says there will also be a filleting demonstration. “It’s being put on during the free fishing weekend in the province, so you don’t have to pay for a licence to fish that weekend, but you do still have to follow the rules and the limits; so, it’s a good opportunity to get into fishing if it’s something you’ve wanted to try.” For the first 15 people, fishing rods will be available to use, but if you have your own feel free to

bring it along. Additionally, for youth under the age of 12 it is necessary for a parent or guardian to be present. “We want it to be a fun and safe experience for everybody and we need parents to stay and help coach if their kid is under 12,” Jason explained. If in need of directions or help getting to Little Kenosee, Jason says the easiest way to ﬁnd out where to go, is to simply ask at the gate when entering the park or if you’re at the Chalet the park interpreters will also be happy to help.

Quote of the Week . . . “To read without reﬂecting is like eating without digesting.”

- Edmund Burke

O Canada

Around the world, Canadian Citizenship is one of the most highly sought after citizenships in the world. Canada is seen as a country of opportunity, which has a reputation of being friendly and welcoming. In fact Country RepTrack, the Reputation Institute, has always ranked very high: placing oftentimes first or second amongst Kelly Running their research. We sit amongst Observer Staff Scandinavian countries, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and the Netherlands from their 2016 research. This study looked at 58,000 respondents around the world who took part in the survey, which focused on three main aspects: Effective government and quality of institutions, economic development, as well as lifestyle and environment. Our reputation is high, however, because people looking for a better life see the opportunities that Canada represents, while a Canadian Citizenship is valuable as an international citizen as well. People see that you are Canadian and you are automatically held to a certain standard and treated with an unspoken respect – have you ever heard of Americans traveling with Canadian flags on their backpacks? Canada has welfare programs, unemployment insurance, social welfare allowance, a pension plan, old age pension, childcare benefits, a strong public education system, and an excellent healthcare system. These are all things we as Canadians take for granted, but to someone a world away it becomes a dream to live in a country that takes care of its people. It’s a country which is relatively safe, especially when we look around the world and see the war torn countries, we don’t have to worry about the same things here and hopefully we won’t have to. It’s a country of opportunity. It’s true that we have problems: relations with our First Nations is strained and needs fixing, there are homeless people, people in need of basic needs; but, at the end of the day we – Canadians – are typically the type of people to rally together when in need. We’re privileged to have simply been born within the borders of Canada and for those who immigrate to Canada they feel very lucky and thankful to be taken in. Canada, although very similar to the United States, is a very unique place with an exceptionally caring population. For example, we hold the door for each other – oftentimes at that awkward distance where the person coming to the door quickens their steps a bit, we help our neighbours when they’re in need, and we do say “eh” to turn literally any sentence into a question. I was in Toronto a couple of years ago and decided to head out to Niagara Falls, so I booked a spot on one of the tourist vans there, and off I went. The van driver asked us where we were all from. I was the only Canadian on board, but there were Americans, various people from Asia, and a couple with European roots. One of the Americans was quite sick, to the point of throwing up, so at our very next stop I got her a bottle of water. I came back onto the van and gave the bottle of water to her, and for the next few minutes the American family discussed the Canadian stereotype: “That never would have happened back home,” one of the girls said. I wanted to turn around and tell her that it could, she just had to be the one to start the trend. Over 150 years Canada has managed to develop a great reputation amongst other nations and although we have dark spots in our past such as the 60s scoop, residential schools, and how our treaties were handled in general; it could be worse. And, when you look at other countries, this type of history is typical of Europeans thinking they would bring “civility to savages.” My hope is that we can make this right for everyone moving forward and I believe we can because we’re Canadians, our biggest stereotype is that we care, so with that, I do have hope.

Come to the table... you’ll find something to eat It was 23 years ago that the specialty channel known as “The Food Network” was launched. Critics questioned how it could sustain an audience with ‘round the clock food programs, but as of February 2015 the network was available to more than 96,000,000 pay television households in the United States. It became so popular north of the 49th it prompted Shelley Luedtke the creation of a Canadian version seven years later, featuring the network’s anchor programs along with others highlighting Canadian chefs, restaurants, judges and contestants. But despite having a range of cooking shows on this and other networks, there still is debate over exactly what constitutes Canadian cuisine. Lenore Newman, author of “A Canadian Culinary Journey” says it builds on the characteristics of using more wild foods, and unlike other cuisines which are often doused in sauce, we make the ingredients the star. For quite some time the banquet served to guests at the Governor General’s home was salmon, fiddleheads and wild rice. “It’s the quintessential Canadian meal,” she noted. Canadian cuisine varies widely by region causing some to identify dishes by the ingredients used or the sourcing of those ingredients. First Nations and Inuit people in each region of Canada used local resources and traditional techniques in the preparation of their cuisines. Our cuisine has also been greatly impacted and shaped by the multicultural nature of the country causing Prime Minister Joe Clark to remark once, “Canada has a cuisine of cuisines. Not a stew pot, but a smorgasbord.” There are certain foods that routinely vie for the title of Canada’s national dish, with top contenders typically being poutine, butter tarts and salmon jerky. Not to be forgotten are those items Canadians proudly lay claim to or at least have created a variation to call their own: beaver tails, Kelly Running Editor Reporter/Photographer

bannock, matrimonial cake, Tourtiere, split pea soup, and of course, Saskatoon berry pie. And how can you talk about Canadian food without giving a nod to the syrup that comes from the maple tree? Our cuisine, like so much that serves to form our national identity, is still in its formative stages. A proverbial work in progress. Our nation, as it is defined today, is still so young, yet in that time we have given much to the world. Plexiglass, the cardiac pacemaker, IMAX, AM Radio, computerized braille, the telephone, the Blackberry, Canadarm, insulin….and yes, that list of tasty treats so uniquely Canadian. There is much to inspire pride. Yet we know there are aspects of our history that don’t make us as proud. There are things we have done and chapters of our story that need to be examined, not so that we revise or whitewash it, but so that we can learn from the mistakes as well as the achievements. That is part of what makes us Canadian. We may be the punchline to a joke regarding how modest, humble and unassuming we are. Perhaps we are. But we are also bold, courageous, and innovative. And you need all of it on that smorgasbord to keep it fresh, engaging and appealing. What is Canadian cuisine? It is the fruit, vegetables, and roots that have come from our orchards, gardens and forests. It is the lobster, salmon and perch from our waters. It is the crops harvested on our fields. It is wild game. It is commercially prepared specialties. It is as unique as each region, which in turn is as unique as each individual living there. But collectively? A medley of people extending a respectful nod to the fare of the past and looking with hope to the robustness of the future. So grab a puffed wheat square or Nanaimo bar and think about your place at the Canadian buffet. The table contains flavors that are represented by each region but also combine to create the zest of the national palette. Let’s pursue the cravings and continue making this country one of the most amazing places to live. And let’s keep the hunger alive to ensure it can be that way for everyone who calls this place home. That’s my outlook.

Dental checks

My little hometown never ceases to amaze me! We had a wonderful turn out for our Rodeo last weekend and I can’t say thank you enough! Living in these small towns is such a blessing and we really do support these causes and events with everything we have. Well done! Krystyn Gilles Now that the event is over, I can get back to my somewhat normal and boring life! Well, sort of. I am writing this in a rush, so I can get on the road to head for my dentist appointment. I can’t say that I am really excited, but I am glad to get some work done to make my teeth feel more comfortable. I went 27 years without cavities. When I got pregnant with the toddler, everything changed. The first dentist I went to, told me that I had 10 cavities. I almost fell out of her chair, 10? Hormones, that’s what they told me. I would have never imagined. So, picture me, a person who before braces, the worst thing that I had endured at the dentist was having my teeth flossed by someone else. Ouch! Am I the only one who dreads that part? When I floss my own teeth, I gently wiggle the floss down between the teeth and then get aggressive with the junk between my teeth. Not these dental assistant ladies, they mean business! Anyway, I am sitting there and the dentist

said, “perfect, I have time to fix these three!” I was shocked. Normally, I would have expected to come back a few weeks later and have the cavities fixed. I could have prepared myself. But no, it was go time! I am not going to lie, it made me nervous because I had no idea what to even expect. But I figured toddlers and kids get fillings all the time and they must survive, so I could too. I patiently sat there, with my mouth wide open for what seemed like an eternity while they worked, then left, then worked on it some more, then left again, then came back. After it was all said and done and I went to the front desk, my teeth felt weird. Not because they did a bad job, but because I couldn’t feel anything for a while. After hearing what I owed for a few fillings, I almost cried and handed them my benefits cards and thank goodness, they worked and it was all covered! Fast forward to now and I have some sensitivities to hot, cold and sweet things. I knew I had to get back to a dentist and when I finally had time to look at the calendar, I knew I better get at it. My benefits calendar year is at the end of July and I hadn’t used any of my dental coverage, so I might as well use it up. We headed in a few weeks ago and the lady said I only had five cavities and that included the one they already filled! I was shocked and she said, just sometimes the fillings leak and cause issues in the future. Excuse me? My benefits shell out over $600 to fix my teeth and it didn’t work? Why don’t they

have warranty on teeth? That should be a thing! Anyway, at least it was better than 10 cavities. Of course, she wanted to see me back in a few weeks to fix a few, then again a few weeks after that to fix the rest. So, there I am now. Lots of dental work to be had, but at least I know what to expect this time. My husband and the toddler are going in as well in these next appointments to learn their dental fate, so fingers crossed everyone is healthy and sparkly. I completely understand why some people cannot fathom the idea of going to the dentist though. The sounds of the tools, the pressure on your mouth when they are working, that can be a little much. I sure hope that after today, I am still totally calm about going in to see the nice ladies in the office. I want the experiences to be good for the toddler too, so keep us in your thoughts! Finally, I am sad to announce that this will be my last column in the Observer. I have had the pleasure of writing for the Redvers Optimist for quite a few years and then with the Observer since the Optimist closed. I would like to thank the wonderful people in these areas for reading my weekly stories. Your encouragement and kind words meant so much to me. I hope you can search me out on social media because I plan on starting an online blog with my silly write ups so that folks won’t miss out on our wacky life. Again, thank you for spending time reading, and thank you for sticking with me all these years!

The Big 1-5-0 We are a people who like to mark milestones. From the birth of a baby onwards we count first the days, the weeks, and then the months until the first year is fêted by poking a candle in a cake and singing a song in celebration. Our years tick by in a succession of such celebrations Jocelyn Hainsworth while we grow and learn and mature. Time flies by. As adults we focus less on the individual years and more on measuring by decade. Our friends and family begin to make a big deal out of when we reach “the big 4-0”. And then “the big 5-0”. And barely the blink of an eye later “the big 6-0” and “the big 7-0” too. By this time the field of competition is starting to thin out; these big days become more note-worthy. Before we know it the milestone of 100 has been achieved and some reporter is sticking a microphone in our face and asking us how we made it this far. Who would have thought it was even possible when we uttered our first cry a century ago? One hundred years is a significant thing when measuring a human lifespan, but in world history it’s nothing. Even in recorded human history it barely counts as a blip. If you compare one measly century with the age of such things as Aztec ruins, Egyptian pyramids, or the mystery that is Stonehenge it is puny and of no consequence. And yet, here we are, preparing to celebrate our country’s birthday: Canada’s big 1-5-0. And puny as the number is, this is a big deal and one deserving of celebration. Countries aren’t made – they form. They coalesce out of the common needs of people who populate the land. Whether it be primitive cave-dwellers or sophisticated 21st Centurions, our safety, security, and prosperity are the common focus that bring us together. The specific threats and currencies have evolved over time but our very nature is wired to understand that there is strength in numbers, power in diversity, and richness in culture when we work together. This is as true now as it always has been – we band together under common goals to make all of our lives richer.

What is different about Canada and a handful of other countries is that we have an actual birth certificate. We were “born” on July 1st 1867: we know how old we are. Our formation was not like that of the ancient countries of Europe and Asia, done over millennia, this is true, but our Fathers of Confederation took into consideration the lessons of world history and did their best to prepare a path into the future for us with this new experiment of Canada and we formed our wonderful country out of our desire for strength and unity and the wisdom to follow their leadership.

Through the Lens Observer Staff

To be sure we are a work in progress; we have made mistakes but we’ve gotten some things right too. As countries go we are just barely cutting our baby teeth, but we are healthy and strong and other nations look up to us. As we step into the future we are poised for a leadership role. When we observe a birthday it tends to be a look back at where we have come from, but maybe the 150 marker for Canada is the perfect time in our history to turn and look the other direction – toward the future. Let the cake and party balloons and fireworks mark a celebration of who we intend to be!

Happy Birthday Canada!

Living Skies CrossFit: On the Podium

Kelly Running Observer Staff

Six local CrossFit teams with Living Skies CrossFit in Carlyle have returned from the eighth annual Spring Fling competition which was held in Regina on June 17 – 18. The two-day CrossFit Competition saw two of those teams earn podium finishes: Danielle Steele and Kenzie Craig finished first in the Women’s Scaled Division, while Tyson Hislop and Matthew Klemack finished second in the Men’s Scaled Division. Also competing in the Women’s Scaled Division were Brittany Smoliak and Erica Nicholson (9th) as well as Ashley Miller and Katie Mryglod (10th); in the Men’s Rx’d Division were Nathan Corrigan and Cam Jarvis (6th) as well as Scott Nicholson and Brandon Hodgkin (16th). Attending in a different capacity was Living Skies CrossFit’s own Carson Brady who was acting as a judge during the competition. What is CrossFit? CrossFit is a high-intensity strength and conditioning program, which states that its specialty is not specializing – it takes elements from a variety of sports and exercises and incorporates them into one.

Living Skies CrossFit was well represented at the eighth annual Spring Fling held in Regina on June 17-18. A total of six teams representing Living Skies competed including Danielle Steele and Kenzie Craig, Brittany Smoliak and Erica Nicholson, Ashley Miller and Katie Mryglod, Tyson Hislop and Matthew Klemack, Nathan Corrigal and Cam Jarvis, and Scott Nicholson and Brandon Hodgkin. Although it is a strength and conditioning program, there are also competitions in CrossFit which have become popular. “Competition weekend all ﬁve of the workouts are released one week before the competition,” Craig explains. “It gives teams the opportunity to both try them and

make a strategy for each event.” “I just want to add outsiders, when they hear CrossFit instantly think of competitive type athletes, yes some of us train to be competitive, but the majority of the gym members attend each day to better their lifestyle! I love watching the small victories for people

like doing a burpee for the ﬁrst time.” On the podium with Steele and Craig Of their win Steele and Craig, who have both been in CrossFit for three years, were very excited to earn a spot at the top of the podium in something they have both come to love. “Kenz and I have only competed together three times [Spring Fling 2016 and Hwy 9 Throwdown 2016 in addition to this year’s Spring Fling],” Steele says, then laughed, “She’s so strong and I need her on my team to do all the heavy lifting.” Adding to this Kenzie says, “Danielle and I as partners complement each other well in team

competitions because we both carry different strengths. Danielle is really gifted with gymnastics type movements (pull-ups, muscle ups, toes to bar, etc…) and I’m good at cycling a barbell and moving heavy weights. Danielle is also really good at the mental side of competitions, she keeps me from having a melt down and reminds me to stay focused often,” she says with a laugh. “The workouts played out in our favour last weekend,” Steele explained. “We were given five workouts over those two days and the top four teams competed in one final workout that was announced immediately before it started. You

don’t really know what the workouts are that far in advance, so you just have to be prepared for anything and go out there and do your best.” Regarding the competition on the weekend Craig explained that nerves are a factor, but that this is what they’ve worked for all year: “We all work so hard all year and this is the time to prove it!” Steele added, “Spring Fling last year was our first competition and we finished 11th, I believe. To win it this year feels pretty good; we’ve put in a lot of hard work in the last year, so it’s nice to have it pay off.”

Living Skies CrossFit: On the Podium sible to catch. They came out flying. So, you’ve got to be mentally tough in order to push yourself to do what you need to do.” “This was the first competition for me and Tyson. Once we got into CrossFit, we both started working towards competition. So, this one was a way to get our foot in the door and see if we liked it… I think we both enjoyed it and would like to continue competitions.” Hislop spoke to the weekend specifically saying: “We went in to have fun and just kept working hard. The first event for us went well right out of the gate and that first day we just kept encouraging and pushing each other, and the fans were really encouraging as well, they were great. We were in second after the first day and the second day had more challenging WODs [Work Out of the Day] for us, but we managed to make the final.” In the final WOD, which involved the top four teams, Hislop and Klemack finished third, which gave them an overall finish for the weekend of second place. “Going in I didn’t

From Page 10 Craig added, “Winning is a great feeling. Knowing all the hard work and hours spent training is worth it! It makes you excited to train harder and set new goals. There is always lots to improve on.” The pair also plans to compete in The Highway 9 Throwdown in Yorkton this October, while Craig also plans to direct focus on Olympic weightlifting in order to enter a competition this fall as well. On the podium with Hislop and Klemack Hislop began his CrossFit journey nine months ago – through encouragement from friends like Craig who was already involved in it – and Klemack began approximately a year and a half ago – he had been body building, but decided to try out the program and found that he enjoyed the variety. The mentality for CrossFit competitions was also appealing: “It focuses a lot on endurance and cardio health, so it’s about putting the gas pedal to the ﬂoor and holding it there. The guys that got ﬁrst on the weekend were impos-

know where we would be at, so we just decided to work hard,” Hislop added. “We kept our cool and just enjoyed every moment of it. It was a lot of fun.” “And CrossFit Regina ran it perfectly, they did a great job putting it on, and thank you to everyone who came out and watched; they were very supportive. Also, thank you to Carson [Brady], Colin [Wilson], and Scott [Nicholson], and all the other coaches. They’re so supportive and committed, and it’s a family more than anything else.” Why CrossFit? Craig’s decision to ﬁrst start with CrossFit came as a sort of therapy for her: “I openly shared my story about my struggles with depression and eating disorder a few years ago on social media. I was never active or athletic growing up. CrossFit became a place where I could go clear my mind and be with like minded individuals. It was a place where I could focus on what my body was doing, not what it looked like.” “The community that is built at the gym is a place you want to keep

It becomes addicting because you keep seeing changes all the time, mentally and physically!” Steele ﬁrst got into CrossFit with encouragement from a friend, although hesitant, she attended and says she was hooked after the ﬁrst class: “The thing about CrossFit is that you make it as intense as you want. If you’re there just to get moving then great! There are all sorts of options for people who haven’t worked out in awhile, have mobility issues, have injuries. The competition side of it isn’t for everybody and there is zero requirement to push yourself that hard.”

“I like that I can track my workouts and see the improvements. One class you might have a 400m run and you might only be able to walk it, but next year when you test it again you might be able to run it all. It’s exciting to see how far you’ve come.” Klemack adds, “I was body building before, so was already into a healthy lifestyle, but just liked CrossFit, it wasn’t about appearance, but capability, and I’ve learned skills that I never thought I’d take up like gymnastics; I’m a 23-year-old male who never thought that I’d be on the rings or bars. It was never in my repertoire. It’s really appealing

though because you look in shape, but it makes you a more dynamic athlete and is focused on performance.

Schmidt Stands Down: Wrestler Chooses University Career and Competition Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Carlyle’s Nathen Schmidt has earned the reputation as an all-around athlete who doesn’t quit. But at this year’s try-outs for Saskatchewan’s 18U wrestling team in the 65 kilogram weight class - the qualiﬁer that determines who will compete for the province at the Canada Summer Games later this summer in Winnipeg - Schmidt made the decision to prioritize his position as a member of the University of Regina Cougars wrestling team and his goal to compete internationally. “I was winning and dominating,” says Schmidt of the June 11 tryouts in Regina. “But I thought about my knee and I decided I didn’t want to hurt it more, so I dropped out of the trials.” “I injured my knee near the end of my high achool wrestling career in Windsor (Ontario) at Nationals in April of this year,” explains

the two-time provincial champion. “It had only been two months since I injured it and I made the decision to put my university wrestling career - and my education - first.” “I was definitely disappointed,” says Schmidt. “ Competing at the Canada Games this year would be my last chance as a young wrestler, because I turn 18 after the Games. And the Canada Games only happen every four years.” “I felt really, really confident and it would have been a great way to finish my high-school wrestling career, but I have the next five years to wrestle with the U of R Cougars and ultimately, I want to compete at the international level, so that and my education - has to take priority.” The grade 12 student from Carlyle’s Gordon F. Kells High School received offers of athletic scholarships from the University of Regina, the University of Saskatchewan in Saska-

toon and an offer to play football for the Regina Thunder. “I’m a karate brown belt and I have a blue belt in jiu jitsu,” says Schmidt. “And I played football with the Moosomin Generals and because of that, I had an offer to play junior with the Regina Thunder.” “I’d like to continue to participate and compete in these (other) sports,” he adds. “And I still have aspirations to fight MMA (mixed-martial arts). Even if I have to take a year off from university before medical school, MMA has been my dream and I’d like to compete.” Schmidt says that for now, he will concentrate on his undergraduate studies at the University’s Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies and wrestling with the Cougars, with the ultimate goal of practicing medicine in a rural area - either as a general practitioner or as a sports medicine specialist. “I really made the decision to focus on my education and wrestling,” he says. “It was the best opportunity for me and I’m grateful.” “Ultimately, I’d like to situate myself in a rural area as a doctor, because I know how much doctors are needed, having grown up in Carlyle.” “In the immediate

things and balancing my commitment as a wrestler with the U of R team with all of that.” “It’ll be a challenge,

but I’ve got a good work ethic and I’m really looking forward to it all - competition and classes.”

Alida News Submitted by Edel Cowan

Margret Peet spent a few days visiting with her mother Claire Germain and her sister Pauline Craggs in Regina. On June 21 Gray and Edel Cowan were in Estevan where Edel had an optometrist appointment and Gray had the truck in the “sick bay” for a while. They also visited a few minutes with grandson Adam Cowan before heading back home to Alida. On Thursday, June 22 they were in Redvers and visited a few moments with Joyce and Jackie George. There were a number of local folks who spent at least one day at the Farm Progress show in Regina this past week (June 21-24). Congratulations and best wishes to Jim and Mary Boettcher who celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on June 24 at the Alida Hall with lots of family and friends in attendance. Gray and Edel Cowan spent a couple of days holidaying – on Saturday, June 24 they were in Weyburn where Gray spent the day “playing radio” (working in a ham radio contest) with Todd Bendtsen while Edel spent the day visiting her cousin Vivian (Jensen) Weber. On Sunday, June 25 we travelled to Ogema to enjoy the Southern Prairie Railway

Heritage Train Ride. Our journey began by touring through the fully restored 1912 Train Station then we boarded the 1922 Pullman passenger car which is powered by a General Electric 44-ton switcher locomotive. This excursion is similar to what the pioneers of 1920’s would have experienced. We had a round trip to Pangman and Horizon, learned some history of the area, how the track was built, visited an old 1922 Federal elevator, and learned that there were 7 other elevators further along this track are still being used having grain shipped out by rail, even saw wildlife along the route. On Ogema’s Main Street we saw the only remaining B/A Gas corner gas station in Western Canada complete with B/A sign and gas pumps, the Fire Hall and Fire Wall built after the great ﬁre of 1915 which destroyed much of Main Street. Later we visited the Deep South Pioneer Museum where there are 30 buildings with corresponding artifacts depicting the pioneer way of life, 150 pieces of antique farm machinery including a 1912 Case Steam Traction Engine. All In all it was an enjoyable day. Shelly Cowan and daughter Ainsley spent June 25-26 in Minot visiting the Nilsen family and on

Monday Ainsley had a dentist appointment. This is the final few days of school – the last Graduation days as well both in Carnduff and Oxbow. Alida has two graduates in Carnduff – Hayley Bendtsen and Sara McClung – Congratulations and best wishes Girls on your next adventure as you move forward. Another mixed bag of weather over this past weekend – Saturday, cold and windy as usual but Sunday was calm and warm and today (Monday) seems to be a copy of yesterday – hallelujah – finally some decent summer weather. One can enjoy being outside and enjoying their campers. My garden is really sprouting and growing but it surely needs a friend now to do much needed weeding as those weeds seems to grow faster than the produce. We now say good-bye to June this week and Hello to July on Saturday – Happy 150 Birthday Canada. Another reminder folks please keep me informed as to the happenings occurring in and around the area – either call (306-443-2496) or text (306-4858561) or e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel.net) – appreciate your help. Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and Take care.

Kennedy/Langbank News Submitted by Connie Schwalm

Well, by now most of us have gathered together all of the bits and pieces that got blown away during last week’s wind! But, at least we didn’t have to deal with the mess that they were left with a little further west. So, it seems that we should be counting ourselves blessed. The steak supper and Silent Auction fundraiser for Muscular Dystrophy was held in Langbank on Sat., June 24th. Quinn Wilton, who works with her brother Luke and their family to organize a fund-raising event to benefit research into this disease each year, notes that the Steak Supper was a tremendous success. “We had about 140 people that came out for the meal. The Silent Auction was very successful too. We had some wonderful and really unique donations given to us for the auction...like a big fire-pit. The Tattoo Artist that did my ‘Medic Alert’ tattoo donated time that people could bid on. There was Massage Therapy time donated for the auction as well.” “It was awesome to see everybody coming out for this. It was the sort of event that appealed to a variety of different people. A lot of the older people in particular said that they really enjoyed it. I’m headed to university in the fall. But, my mom intends to carry on the fund-raising efforts. And, if the event is held

in June again then I’ll be able to help too since university classes will be over by June.” A committee met recently to discuss plans for the Renewal Service that will be held at St. Paul’s Anglican Church (the little stone church just south of Langbank on the #9 Highway). The Interdenominational Service will take place on Sun., July 30th beginning at 11:00 am. The service will be held outside if weather permits...and will be followed by a picnic and time for fellowship. Everyone is welcome to attend, and folks are asked to bring their lawn chairs, picnic lunch and refreshments with them when they come. Fred and Marilyn Shackleton celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary with family and friends on Wed., June 14th in Innisfail, AB. A big ‘Thank you’ to all who were able to attend. Don and Alice Cox, along with Melanie Beattie from Qu’Appelle, travelled last week to Chilliwack, BC to attend the 50th Wedding Anniversary of their sister and brother-in-law Ron and Laura Thompson. On the way out to BC, they stopped in Calgary to visit with Darryl and Susan Hass. Then, on the return trip, they stopped to visit Doug and Laura Cox in Crow’s Nest Pass, BC. While there, they also had the opportunity to visit with Ashley, Neil and Jack Parke

Sharon Marie Chapman

MITCHELL: In loving memory of our Mom and Grandma, Gloria, who passed away July 4, 2008. She always leaned to watch for us Anxious if we were late, In winter by the window, In summer by the gate. And though we mocked her tenderly Who had such foolish care, The long way home would seem more safe, Because she waited there. Her thoughts were all so full of us, She never could forget, And so I think that where she is She must be watching yet. Waiting ‘til we come home to her Anxious if we are late Watching from Heaven’s window Leaning from Heaven’s gate. Always loved and thought of every day... Miss you still and always will, Kevin & June and family; Karen & Dennis and family 7-1 SCHICK: In loving memory of Ernie, who passed away June 30, 2010. Quietly remembered every day Sadly missed along life’s way. Just as you were, you will always be Treasured and loved by your family. Love Marybelle & family 7-1

Sharon Marie Chapman, late of Arcola, SK, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 21, 2017 at the age of 67 years. Predeceased by her parents Henry Petrie and Irene Petrie. Sharon is survived by her loving husband of 49 years, Kelly; daughter Tammy (Delbert) Wyatt of Saskatoon, SK; son Chad (Lori) Chapman of Estevan, SK; ﬁve grandchildren, Kristopher (Mary-Liz), Paige, Kelsey, Ashley and Mathew; great-granddaughter, Hannah; sister Carolyn Petrie of West Kelowna, BC. Sharon enjoyed being an active member in the community of Arcola, giving her time to various organizations, especially those involving music, kids and seniors. She enjoyed the Arcola Drama Club, United Church Choir and most recently the St James United Church Choir, as well as a number of youth groups over the years. After long hours working at the grocery store with Kelly, Sharon always made time to help seniors by cutting their hair, getting in a perm and a colour, while having tea and a good visit. Sharon always had a story to share with family about playing piano at the United Church, organizing meals and activities at Golden West Lodge or enjoying the entertainment at the Kenosee Lake Kitchen Party. Her happiest times in life were spent with her grandchildren, she loved them very much and any activity they were involved in was a must see. Countless hours were spent travelling to watch her grandchildren participate in hockey, volleyball, softball, singing, archery, or playing music. Having family around always put a smile on Sharon’s face. Her most recent joy was meeting her Great-Granddaughter Hannah and was thrilled to see her smile and giggle. Friends so wishing may make donations in Sharon’s honor are asked to consider the Arcola Health Centre or the Regina Cancer Patient Lodge, 4104 Dewdney Avenue, Regina, SK, S4T 1A3 where donations will be put towards a fund used speciﬁcally for lodge upkeep and patient comfort. Flowers are most gratefully declined. A community gathering to honor Sharon will be held in Arcola at a later date.

The Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge - with the help of generous volunteers and local businesses - kicked off the Canada 150 celebration season with a red and white-themed tea party at the Lodge on Thursday, June 22. “We really wanted to do something special for the residents and the community to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary,” says organizer and Friends member, Carolyn Shirley. “It’s a special year for Canada and we opened up the tea party to the residents and anyone else who wanted to attend.” “It’s a great celebration and the Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge are grateful to everyone who attended and especially to those who contributed to our Canada 150 tea party,” says Shirley, who along with her husband, Jim, donated the door and raffle prizes. “The Bargain Shop even supplied Maple Leaf-shaped cookies and Southern Plains Co-op supplied treats and sent some of their staff, who helped serve,” she adds. “And they were joined by the Gordon F. Kells

High School work experience girls.” “It’s a special year for Canada and it was a special day for the residents

of Moose Mountain Lodge,” says Shirley. “Thanks to everyone for coming out – and Happy Canada 150!”
