Dorothy Yuzicappi-Joyea creates province’s gift to India

By Lynne Bell Dorothy Yuzicappi-Joyea of White Bear First Nations is known for her artistic expertise when it comes to making First Nations star blankets. However, she never imagined one of her quilted creations would be presented by the province as an official gift to another country, with thousands also seeing her work on social media, via Premier Brad Wall’s Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Yuzicappi-Joyea’s creation was commissioned by the province as an official gift from Saskatchewan, to be presented at the Samadhi Mahatma Gandhi-a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi-in Delhi, Indiaduring the Premier’s recent trade mission there.

The Premier not only presented the quilt as an official gift, he tweeted a photo of himself holding it, writing to his almost 32,000 Twitter followers: “Proud to present a star blanket from White Bear

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

On behalf of the province, Premier Brad Wall presented a First Nations star blanket at the Samadhi Mahatma Gandhi (a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi) in Delhi, India, as part of his recent trade mission to that country. The star blanket was created by Dorothy Yuzicappi-Joyea, of White Bear First Nations. The Premier wrote on Twitter, “Proud to present a star blanket from White Bear First Nation as a gift at the Samadhi Mahatma Gandi in Delhi.”

According to the province’s protocol office: “Dorothy Yuzicappi-Joyea, from the White Bear First Nation, created this quilt. Dorothy’s name was provided as a quilter, experienced in making First Nations’ star quilts. It was at our request she prepared this quilt to be presented at Rajghat Mahatma Gandhi, a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi. The circular quilt could be used as a wall hanging.”

Yuzicappi-Joyea says she was given a star quilt in the 1980s, and decided that she would try and make one. “I learned by trial and error,” she says. “I also do beadwork for the regalia that my husband and grandkids wear when they’re dancing. I also make and sell other items, right now I’m raffling off a set that includes baby moccasins, a baby star quilt, and a moss bag, which is a baby carrier.”

Carlyle school bands draw crowd to winter concert

By Kelly Running Though everyone has a different taste in music, it is something that can speak to everyone. Performing for an amassed crowd on Monday, Nov. 24, at G.F. Kells were the Grade 5 Band, Grade 6 Band and Senior Band.

The performance began at 7:30 p.m. Grade 5s playing Cardiff by the Sea, Au Claire de la Lune, Hot Cross Buns, and Merrily We Roll Along. All of these songs were arranged by Pearson.

These songs, Director Kevin Dyck, explained were based on three and four different notes, with the youth still working on the fourth note and just beginning to work on the fifth note.

“The Grade 5s got their instruments on Sept. 20 and have only been playing for that long, so they are doing a very good job,” Dyck stated.

“We have a nice large Grade 5 group this year and they are doing very well.”

It was the Grade 6 group which was then welcomed to perform. The Grade 6s have been playing for two years and have begun playing more intricate pieces.

Their musical compositions utilize the different sections for different parts of the piece, while the Grade 5s all played the same music together.

The Grade 6 Band performed Midnight Mission by Balmages and African Folk Trilogy by McGinty. The latter was arranged by the students as they were missing some of the instruments McGinty had written into the pieces, they therefore made it their own by improvising with other instruments or stomping their feet.

“For the Grade 6 Band you’re playing different parts than the people beside you, so it’s a little more difficult,” Dyck stated.

Finally the Senior Band took to the stage; consisting of students between Grades 7 and 12 they performed Mars by Holst, Sanctus by Smith, and De Colores by Wagner.

“This concert focused on band pieces, but the one after Christmas and closer to our Spring Tour are more crowd pleasers with theme music from movies or incidental works,” Dyck explained.

“Most of our tours we perform for younger students, at elementary schools and those kids can get quite excited about a piece, so its important they’ll enjoy that and our standard band repertoire.”

This was Dyck’s 17th Winter Concert and he has been extremely pleased with the level of dedication and ability over the years of his students.

“They really are plugging away, working hard,

The Grade 6 Band performs, African Folk Trilogy, by McGinty, which the students and Director Kevin Dyck arranged as they were missing some instruments and had to improvise. and are really fun classes,” Dyck stated. “They’re awesome!”

This spring Dyck is hoping to take the Senior Band on a trip, but is still waiting on approval for it.

“It’s important for the band program to offer an opportunity for kids, so not only music but travel too,” Dyck explained. “It’s good to help students find friendships outside of their academic classes.”

Youth did very well the night of Nov. 24th and the crowd was pleased.

The Grade 5 Band has Sydney Bouchard, Brooklyne Delorme, Ryley Himmelspeck, Addyson Morse, Summer Rutten, and Presley Wilcox on Flute; Brandon Fleming and Riley Gilks on Clarinet; Cooper Humphries and Denita Shepherd on Alto Saxophone; Trystan Barta, Jason Hietanen, Caitlyn Joya, Madison Magotiaux, Riley Park, Breck Therens-Waterman, Kaysha Turner on Trumpet; Jaydin Dustyhorn on

Trombone; Nolan Pelletier and Logan Romaniuk on Euphonium; and LJ Tinio on Percussion.

The Grade 6 Band is made up of Kenna Hagel, Jessica Moffat, and Trinity Morrissette on Flute; Victoria Flynn, Taris Rae, and Kendra Schultz on Clarinet; Jonah Dyck, Jamie Hill, Coty Hofos, and Brock Newell on Alto Saxophone; and Morgan Robertson on Percussion.

The Senior Band has Emily Bouchard, Josie Morrissette, and Kiri Biberdorf on the Flute; Alana Aalbers on the Clarinet; Spencer Bell on the Bass Clarinet; Ethan Dyck, Natalie Haddow, and Jory Dyck on the Alto Saxophone; Nathan Schmidt on the Baritone Saxophone; Sydney Flynn, Logan Young, Kaelie Bouchard, Marshall Delorme, and Kelly Hume on the Trumpet; Terran Baker on the Euphonium; and Brayden Hill, Jake McLeod, Marissa Owens, and Payton Littlechief on Percussion.

Continued from page 1 – Star blanket “The province kind of told me what they were hoping for. They asked for a round quilt, which could be hung up and displayed. The colours I chose were spiritual colours.

The background is white and the stripes are different colours, all with a different meaning. I’m from the Dakota tribe, so I used our colours. Each colour represents, east, south, west and north, as well as representing different animals.”

“It’s an eight-point star and the white background enhances the colours. It is also a spiritual colour for the Dakota people,” she added.

“It’s very unexpected. It’s an honour that it’s presented in remembrance of Gandhi himself. To me, it’s an honour that some of my work is in India and that a piece I made is going that far.”

Tickets for Yuzicappi-Joyea’s baby set raffle are $5 each and can be purchased at the White Bear Band Office. To contact Yuzicappi-Joyea about raffle tickets or about purchasing her work, call 306-575-0119.

Movember in Manor

By Lynne Bell Manor’s Beaudacious Salon hosted its first annual Movember Men’s night on Thursday, Nov. 27, in an effort to “Do something kind of fun to help raise awareness about men’s health,” says owner Jennie Beaudet.

Beaudet and stylist Hayley Englot offered complimentary moustache and beard trims, refreshments and door prizes. “We wanted to put a fun twist on a serious issue,” says Beaudet. “It’s such a touchy subject for guys. We want to help raise awareness.

It’s a cause that’s very dear to both of us.”

“This is our first time holding an event like this and we want to make it an annual event,” she added.

Movember is an annual event held during the month of November. Men grow moustaches and beards to raise awareness of and funds supporting men’s physical and mental health issues, such as prostate cancer and other male cancers, as well as depression and anxiety.

Beaudacious Salon is located at 45 Main St. in Manor. For an appointment, call 448-2100.

Dr. Ali Al-Khafaji joins Carlyle Primary Health Clinic

By Lynne Bell Family physician Dr. Ali Al-Khafaji’s journey to Canada-and the Carlyle Primary Health Clinic- was not an easy one, but Carlyle’s newest doctor says he is grateful for the warm welcome he has received from the town.

The husband and father of three knew that he would be arriving in Carlyle on Thanksgiving Day in advance of his first day of work at the clinic on Oct. 14.

“I emailed Hugette [Lutz] from the town and said I would just stay in the hotel and that way, I wouldn’t be disturbing anyone who was gathering with their family for Thanksgiving. It’s a very important day to be with your family. However, I got an email back, saying, ‘No, Dr. Ali,’ and when I arrived, I called the number I was given, and I was taken to the house right away.”

“I certainly didn’t expect that and to me, that shows what a welcoming community this is,” he adds. “That someone would come and do that for me on Thanksgiving Day, it is really appreciated.”

Dr. Ali’s appreciation of family togetherness comes firsthand, as his wife, dermatologist and family physician, Dr. Uroba Al-Safi and his three children, daughters Enass, 12 and Sarah, 6 and son Hussain, 11 reside at the family’s home in Mississauga, Ontario, where Dr. Al-Safi is currently in the process of obtaining her Canadian medical certification.

Dr. Ali was born and raised in Iraq and received both his undergraduate and medical degrees at university in Baghdad.

He and his wife spent 10 years practising medicine in Oman before coming to Canada.

The family visited Canada in 2010, as part of beginning the arduous process of becoming Canadian physicians and Canadian citizens. After a 10-day visit to Toronto from Oman, they decided that Canada was definitely the place for them.

“We were searching for a home country,” says

Dr. Ali Al-Khafaji has been practicing at the Carlyle Primary Health Clinic since October. Dr. Ali-as he likes to be known- is a family physician with experience in internal medicine and cardiology, and is also currently furthering his studies in internal medicine.

Thanks to Dr. Ali’s presence at the clinic, the Carlyle Primary Health Clinic will be open until 8 p.m. on Thursday evenings.

Dr. Ali. “A place where we could have a good life with a good future for our kids and ourselves.”

“We bought a house in Mississauga and were planning to live forever in Ontario.”

However, in order to both meet immigration requirements-as well as obtaining his medical certification enabling him to practice in Canada- Dr. Ali was required to spend time away from his family back in Oman, with only occasional trips to Ontario.

“For almost two years, I was away from my family.

It was very difficult.”

“I am very happy to be in this practice, even though I am away from my family. Everyone here has been very welcoming, Kathy (Dr. Meyer), the girls in the clinic, the doctors in Arcola. They are all very nice and very supportive.

This seems like a very good community.”

As a result of Dr. Ali’s arrival, the Carlyle Primary Health Clinic will now be open until 8 p.m. on Thursdays. The clinic can be reached by calling 4536795.

OBSERVER OPINION If I had a million dollars . . .

By Shelley Luedtke

A

fter years of public quarrels amongst the siblings as to who should and shouldn’t share in the family fortune, Susanna was awarded a sizable judgment after which she vowed to never speak to her family again. She died at the age of 58 with little to show of the family wealth, and buried without a single family member in attendance.

Jacob knew that every year from the age of 18 and on he would be collecting a large sum of money following a successful lawsuit launched on his behalf following the misdiagnosis of his father’s medical condition. Jacob burned through so much of the money on car accessories and restaurant meals following his birthday each year he had to struggle in the remaining months to earn money to live on while waiting for the next payout.

He was born to a wealthy family in the village of Patara on the Mediterranean Sea. He was an only child who lost both parents during an epidemic while he was still young. Upon inheriting their fortune he set about using the money to assist the needy, the sick and the suffering and he became known throughout the land for his generosity. He was Bishop of Myra in the 4th century and was also known as Nikolaos the Wonderworker. Today he is acknowledged around the world as Saint Nicholas.

Stories of his generosity have been told since the 5th century and he has been revered for his compassion and care to those in need. In the 1100’s French nuns began giving candy and gifts to needy children on December 6, a day which is known as St. Nicholas Feast Day. A lot of wealthy people do an incredible amount of good with their money. A lot of less wealthy people do as well. At all points along that spectrum each one of us determines how to best use the money at our disposal. I was struck by the story of a woman interviewed several years ago in a featured article about the working poor. This woman dreamed of one day being able to buy a tube of lipstick--a luxury she couldn’t afford in her extremely tight daily budget. She saved coins for months and finally had enough to purchase the brand name and shade she had been anticipating for so long. However as she walked into the department store she was greeted by the sight of one of the many charities that collects money for people in need during the Christmas season. It struck her that the money she was intending to use to buy lipstick could provide bread and milk for a family who might otherwise go without. She never got to the make-up counter but instead gave away what little she had, knowing that the difference the milk could be to a family would make her feel far better than any lipstick ever could.

It may be fun to imagine inheriting a fortune or stumbling into great wealth and picturing all we could do with that money.

Perhaps as part of that scenario we think about all the people we could help since we’d have the resources to do so. But we don’t need to come into millions to make a difference. We simply need to do it out of what we have--whatever that may be.

What caused Saint Nicholas to give away what he inherited while others made different decisions is all about the attitude to which money is approached. If we function from a sense of entitlement we’re likely to focus on self and what money can do for us. If we operate from a perspective that our resources are like tools in our hands, we will focus on what that money can do in being a blessing to others.

Some amongst us can build schools or expand hospitals.

Some can give cans of food or shovel a sidewalk. It’s not the level of giving that matters but the spirit behind it. The reason the Feast of St. Nicholas is celebrated all over the world hundreds of years after his death is not that he inherited a fortune, but that he lived his life motivated by compassion and was determined to care for those around him. We can all live like that. Doing so isn’t dictated by dollars in our banks but by the spirit of generosity in our hearts. That’s my outlook.

Looking forward to club volleyball

By Kelly Running

I

was simply blown away the other day. We held tryouts for the Vipers team I help with and for the 15U girls there were a total of 28 young kids interested in a chance to play. The older team, the 18U, had a total of 19 girls show up.

The younger group showed up from as far away as Midale, while some of the older group showed up from Midale, Whitewood, and Montmartre.

Which are fair drives, but when I played in Swift it was an hour from my farm, so I guess it’s comparable. It just seems like such a far drive now.

Personally I’m really excited for them to get practicing and see how they will fare this season.

There will be extremely strong players on each team and I think they will do well this year.

Practices will start very soon and then tournaments will begin in the new year!

It’s going to be a lot of volleyball as I’ve agreed to help with both the age groups, which will end up being about eight hours of practice each week between the two and quite a few weekends for tournaments, but it’s well worth it.

The girls that were there

all enjoy the game and want to get better, and I wish we could have taken everyone but when only six can play on the court if you take too many they end up sitting too much, while also missing out on repetitions in practice. The more girls you have, the less time a coach can spend on each one.

Although the skills are important and winning is nice, both teams will be about doing each of their personal best because win or lose as long as you can say you fought hard, it was a good game.

Someone once told me about their daughter’s game and described it as one that you knew was lost from the start I honestly answered ‘I’ve never been in that situation.’ It’s not that I’ve been on amazing teams or anything, mid of the pack usually, but I’ve never been in a situation where it had felt hopeless. There was always a chance the other team wouldn’t play their best and that everything would click for us.

I remember playing I wouldn’t even look at the score.

There was so much going on, on the court as I had to call a play for my team being the setter, then I had to identify where the setter on the other side was, could she jump or was she back row? And by the time that happened the whistle had gone for the serve to come.

We fought and did our best, if we won the point, great, if we lost the point, shake it off and

get the next one. The past points were unimportant and I think for some, looking at the score likely added pressure to their performance.

We once lost to a team 25 to 10, I think it was, and it didn’t matter. The whistle blew and as people were walking to the back of the court I realized the game was over, glanced at the score, and even that huge of a loss was alright. We put up a fight. They were one of the top three teams in the province and we sat around 15th, but we didn’t just roll over for them.

We fought for every single point, we rallied with, dug difficult hits and put down our own with authority; but, they did have an edge on us.

However, I never once thought it was already lost. It was going to be a battle if we wanted to win, but it was possible.

In fact the next set was tighter, 25-18, for them, but still we lost considerable and came back to fight harder.

And that’s what I hope these girls will come to understand because I’m sure many of them are looking for the win. The win is nice, it’s always nice, but losing with dignity, knowing that you’ve done your absolute best, that’s what they should come to understand is the most important thing. Winning is the cherry on top of hard work and dedication, but the cherry isn’t the most important part of an ice cream sundae.

OBSERVER LIFESTYLES Pause for

By Ken Rolheiser www.kenrolheiser.com Reflection The Christian “man-crisis” and the struggle for Sainthood It is something to have smelt the mystic rose, Although it break and leave the thorny rods, It is something to have hungered once as those Must hunger who have ate the bread of gods.

G.K. Chesterton Is there a “mancrisis” in Christian churches today? Are men committed to church attendance and service to the poor?

In “There is a Catholic ‘man-crisis’” Matthew James Christoff asserts that “large numbers of men who were baptized Catholic have left the Church and the majority of those who remain… do not know the Catholic faith and don’t practice it.”

It is a small stretch to apply Christoff’s statement to a broader “man-crisis” in the Christian churches today.

Christoff states that this large-scale failure of men to commit themselves to Jesus Christ and His Church has contributed to the accelerating decay of the post-modern culture.

Christoff lists examples of this decay that include: industrialised abortion, epidemic promiscuity, pornography and sexual perversion, divorce and adultery, substance addictions, gender confusion, filth and coarseness in media, environmental

exploitation, rampant materialism, and the loss of the dignity of work.

In midst of this societal decay, Christoff states, there still are men who work to bring the peace and joy of Christ to the world.

These Christian Men realize the great blessings that flow from being committed to Christ and His Church and have made Sainthood their goal, and they lead their families and as many others as possible to Heaven.

These Committed Christian Men realize that Satan lurks behind the cultural decay, that Satan is real, Hell is real, Sin is real and that life is a battle to defeat the Evil One. Christoff suggests the solution to the “mancrisis” and outlines steps to grow in loyalty and devotion to Jesus Christ.

He outlines several practical steps Christian men can follow: 1.Each man must to be able to give a rousing argument why Jesus Christ is the greatest Man… Committed Christian men can make the case for Christ.

2.Commit to be a Saint of Christ the King…

Christ’s first words of public ministry were to “Repent!” and every man must repent or die.

3.Frequent examination of conscience is needed.

4. Pray for 15 minutes

every day - How can a man know Jesus if he never talks to Him? 5. Discover the… manliness of Sunday Service. If a man doesn’t actively participate in Sunday service he can’t receive the Graces that flow from that service.

6.In addition to attending Sunday services each man should go at least one more time during the week.

7.Pray regularly.

8.Get to know your Patron Saint and Guardian Angel — Saints and Angels intercede on [our] behalf and stand by to protect and defend [us] from daily temptations.

9.Read Holy Scripture for 15 minutes each day.

10.Be a priest, prophet and king in your home by leading your family in prayer, teaching the truth of Christ and His Church, and defending your family from the perversions of the culture.

11.Build a brotherhood with other men in your parish.

There is an epidemic of loneliness in modern men.

Gather the men of your parish to pray, to learn, to teach and to serve the poor.

12.Commit to tithing and begin to work toward it.

Perhaps a fitting benediction to this reflection comes from an author unknown: He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.

Gifts to meet our needs

By Linda Wegner The stress of shopping for that perfect gift can be overwhelming.

As I mentioned in last week’s article, it’s all about identifying something that he or she wants or needs. Sounds simple, doesn’t it.

Since I’ve never been able to find a simple formula for meeting that criteria, I turned to the wisdom of others for help. Here are some of the suggestions I discovered. First ascertain the personality type of the intended recipient and go from there, create a Christmas Gift Registry List or, determine what it is you want to say and communicate that to the recipient.

The gift registry sounds like a winner.

Open the book or website, choose between the listed options and voila all you need to do is head down to the nearest mall...except I’m a year late in setting up a 2014 Christmas version of any kind of list.

Scratch that one.

Forward march to matching personality types with presents. I click on the appropriate buttons for gender, age, morning routine and favourite chair.

Within several blinks of the eye, suggestions pop up on the screen.

Unfortunately the idea that seemed closest to reality for Hubby’s qualifications is dill pickle flavoured popcorn. That’s definitely

not the message I want to convey although he really likes dill pickles.

While finding something material to represent our love and appreciation is difficult enough, what message do I (or we) want to convey to those less easy to love?

To those for whom gifts are more customary than heartfelt?

This year I am determined to spend less but give more of what really counts: time, abilities and at times, grace and forgiveness. Things that God thought of first.

“May all the gifts and benefits that come from God our Father and the Master, Jesus Christ, be yours.” 1 Corinthians 1:3 (The Message)

Through the Lens

By Moose Mountain Photography Club One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Dear Ellen Dear Ellen, Ever since my boyfriend lost his job, I’ve been the one that he takes all his frustrations out on. It really hurts when I see him acting friendly and civil to just about everyone else in this world and then he dumps all his problems with them on to me. He has become a very bitter person and the mood swings are getting worse. The type of mood he is in usually determines the type of mood I’ll have for the day, which is usually a bad one. I love him but I can’t continue living like this….

Losing It Dear Losing It, I have to point out a couple of realities. First of all, your boyfriend doesn’t control how you feel - you do. Just like you can’t control his mood and/or behavior. Secondly, if he is dumping on you and you don’t like it you need to tell him so. Not with angry aggression that starts an argument. Simply state how you feel when he dumps his problems onto you and that you’d like it to stop. Then the ball is in his court. If this is a healthy relationship he will listen to your concerns and look for a better way to deal with his frustration. If his behavior continues, please write back because you’re dealing with a whole other issue.

Ellen ***** For more information about the services we offer, please call the Envision Counselling and Support Centre in Weyburn at 842-8821 or Estevan 637-4004 or call our Abuse/Sexual Assault Line at 1-800-214-7083.

Parenting Tips from Regional KidsFirst – Getting clean, learning and having fun It is fun to make messes. There are many creative materials out there like mud and sand that children love to play with and get messy.

Sometimes, it is not as fun to get clean. Here are some games to play in the tub that are fun for you and for your child that also help them learn …

Sink or Float – Bring a variety of everyday items into the bath with your child. Try sponges, balls, favorite plastic toys, plastic building blocks, toy boats, and plastic

dinosaurs. Have your child hold the item and ask, “Do you think it will sink or float?” Try holding two items and guessing which of the two will float and which will sink. Which one will sink faster than the other? Then, test to see!

Make Magic Colours – Add a few drops of food colouring to icecube trays, add water, and freeze. While your child plays in the tub, she can drop in an ice cube and watch as the water changes colour. Talk about how

the dark ice cube turns the water a light colour, and then try dropping two different coloured ice cubes into the water and guessing what colour it will make.

Bathtub Baking – Bring a selection of plastic measuring cups and spoons into the bath with your child. Kids enjoy pouring water from one cup to the next and using smaller cups to fill larger ones. How many 1/4-cup containers will fill up a cup? How many tablespoons fill a cup?

The award, which is presented to a driver who “shows a lot of determination for the sport,” says Raynard. “It’s an award where people nominate you. You don’t have to win races for it. It’s whoever has the heart and determination for the sport.”

The winner will be announced at a ceremony in Indianapolis, Indiana, on Dec.11, and Raynard, most of his family, and his friend and competitor, Leevi Runge, also of Lampman, will be in attendance.

“He’s my buddy that always helps me,” says Raynard. “Leevi and most of my family are going to be there with me.”

“A bunch of people nominated me,” he says. “It’s pretty cool and amazing, that I’m even up for a big award like that. My mom got an email, and that’s how I found out.”

This year Raynard won the first two features of his three-year career and if he is named recipient of the Real Racer award, it will mark his second appearance in Speedway Illustrated magazine. The magazine’s November issue featured a story about Raynard’s determination to overcome the effects of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, both on and off the track. “ I won my first three features racing in Estevan and I was Motor Magic Champion at Nodak Speedway in Minot. It was a weekend thing, and I came first on the first night and second in the second,” says Raynard.

“My last win of the season was at Big Eagle’s in Manor. Me and my buddy Leevi [Runge] were side by side and it was a really close race.”

“I’m really happy and grateful to everyone who nominated me,” he says. “It’s cool even to be nominated.”

Riley Raynard’s racing career continues to go from strength to strength.

The award ceremony takes place Dec. 11 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Here, Raynard receives a trophy from Derrick Big Eagle.

Carlyle Cougar Pee Wees have busy weekend Carrie Pelletier Sports Contributor The Pee Wee Cougars had a busy day last Saturday. They started their morning out with a league game against the Oxbow Huskies. The Cats had a fantastic first period, jumping out to an 8 – 2 lead against the Huskies.

In the second, Oxbow came to life and paced every tally the Cougars put up with two of their own, closing the gap to 11 - 7. However, thanks to the Cougars big first period, the lead proved insurmountable, and Carlyle was able to hang on for the13- 10 win.

The matinee saw the Cougars face off against the Estevan Thunder. Once again the Cats had a big first period scoring three unanswered goals, which proved

to be way more than they needed as goaltender Missy Biermann would slam the door shut, silencing the Thunder with her second shutout of the season in a 4-0 win.

The afternoon win pushed the Cougars to the gold final vs Carnduff. Again their nemesis, the Red Devils had the young Cats number, as they dropped the gold game 8-1. This is the 2nd tournament in a row that the Pee wee Cougars have made a deep push, coming up just short both times. This weekend they will be hosting their own tournament, and will look to win it all on home ice.

Come down to the Carlyle Sports Arena this weekend, grab a hot chocolate, and cheer the kids on as they look to keep their great season rolling.

Sports Wrap-up with Bruce Penton – Quiz time: why is NHL going to Vegas?

It’s quiz time. But this one’s easy, because it’s multiple choice, just like the hockey situation facing fans in the Greater New York area, who can root for either the Rangers, Islanders or Devils. Still with hockey . . .

Las Vegas is being considered as a potential expansion site for the National Hockey League because: a. It is the fastest-growing metropolis in the United States b. A brand new 19,000-seat arena has recently been built in the city c. There’s not much else to do in Vegas.

Hockey crowds have been embarrassingly low at Florida Panthers home games because: a. Management has a low budget for advertising b. Weather in Florida is not conducive to ice sports c. Snowbirds from Canada don’t arrive en masse until January Tiger Woods is on the verge of: a. A return to the PGA Tour after six months away b. Surpassing Sam Snead’s all-time PGA wins’ mark of 82 c. Becoming the only tour player with zero media friends Hitting the ice this winter with regularity have been: a. Curlers all over Canada b. Young hockey players from coast to coast c. Maple Leaf sweaters from disgusted fans at Air Canada Centre The biggest problem LeBron James is having with the Cleveland Cavaliers this year is: a. His rebounding skills aren’t as good as they were last season. b. His lack of enthusiasm while playing for a mediocre team. c. His inability to clone himself.

Giancarlo Stanton’s record-breaking $325 million con tract for 13 seasons with Miami Marlins will: a. Guarantee to raise the salary bar for future free agents b. Put extreme pressure on him to produce with his bat c. Move him to the top of Florida’s most eligible bachelor list.

The biggest fans of Toronto sports teams are: a. The under-25 crowd

b. Anybody who lives in Ontario c. TSN and Sportsnet broadcasters Four goals in one NHL game is: a. A hat trick plus one b. Something Steven Stamkos seems to do at least once a year c. An offensive explosion by the Winnipeg Jets • NBC’s Jimmy Fallon, after the Marlins’ Jeffrey Loria gave slugger Giancarlo Stanton a 13-year, $325 million contract: “Marking the first time a team’s owner was tested for drugs.”

• Steve Simmons of Sun Media: “There are a lot of D’s in DeMar DeRozan’s name, just not enough on the basketball court.”

• Scott Feschuk of Macleans’s magazine, on Twitter as the Leafs were getting pummeled 6-2 by the lowly Buffalo Sabres: “I just went to the fridge harder than Kessel backchecked on that breakaway.”

• Len Berman of Thatsports.com: “If I’m ever accused of wrongdoing, I want Florida State and FIFA to investigate.”

• CBS’s David Letterman, on New York City’s new drug policy: “You can now walk around smoking weed and all they’re going to do is write you a ticket. Unfortunately, the ticket will be to a Jets’ game.”

• Blogger TC Chong, after Charles Barkley vowed not to eat again until the winless Lakers won a game: “I bet he wouldn’t dare try that with the Oakland Raiders.”

• Headline at Fark.com: “Bills coach Doug Marrone comes upon driver stuck in snow, pushes the car for nine yards and then punts.”

• ESPN’s Herman Edwards, speaking from experience on the fickleness of coaching: “If a head coach doesn’t have a good quarterback, you know what he becomes? An analyst.”

• Jack Finarelli, the Sports Curmudgeon, on John Daly’s proposed show on Sirius XM satellite radio: “Daly will take calls from listeners around the country, talk about his experiences in and out of the sport, offer his thoughts on today’s game and players, share his love of music, and more. Maybe – I said maybe – I would listen to that at gunpoint.”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “FIFA (wink,

Homespun contributes $5,000 to Carlyle Sports Arena Staff photo by Lynne Bell

wink) found no irregularities in the way World Cups were awarded to Russia and Qatar, but bid-committee members weren’t available for comment. They’d just left on their surprise vacation junkets to Barbados.”

• Perry again: “Kobe Bryant broke an unwelcome NBA career record with his 13,418th missed shot. Or as he prefers to call them, rebounding opportunities for teammates.”

• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “A man who won the right to name a new leisure centre in Selby, England, chose ‘Selby Leisure Centre.’ With that kind of imagination, it’s a wonder he isn’t coaching the Blue Bombers.”

• TC in BC: “Authorities in Thailand intercepted a courier package containing human parts that was destined for the United States. It contained a head, heart and a foot. An anonymous spokesperson for the Washington Redskins said they would be interested if an arm was included.”

Sun Country Health Region achieves accreditation

By Lynne Bell After a process that included visits to 16 facilities within the Sun Country Health Region from September 28 to October 3, the SCHR was awarded accreditation from Accreditation Canada, a non-profit, independent organization that provides national and international health care organizations with an external peer review process.

The purpose of the external peer review is to assess and recommend improvements to patient services and clients, based on standards of excellence.

Sun Country’s care and practice policies met 95.3 percent of national standards used to measure the ability of health care organizations within Canada “to

provide high-quality, safe and effectively-managed health care,” according to a recent SCHR media release.

The region was judged on areas including: leadership, governance, medication management standards, and infection prevention and control. Programs provided to populations with chronic conditions, child and youth populations, maternal/child populations, senior populations, and public health services were also evaluated.

Services were also assessed in SCHR’s operating rooms, primary health care, surgical care, emergency departments, home care, long-term care, medicine, rehabilitation, emergency medical services, community-based mental health

and addictions, obstetrics, inpatient mental health, and reprocessing.

Accreditation Canada surveyors also noted that the LEAN management system provides a way of delivering quality care and services to a target population and the mechanism for engaging front line staff in creating positive change.

They stated that this direction works well for SCHR and the region is encouraged to continue to provide education about LEAN to staff members.

“We are very pleased with the results and will work diligently with staff to complete the few remaining standards in the required time frame,” said Marga Cugnet, SCHR’s president and CEO.

“In Saskatchewan, people are passionate about their classic cars,” Rural and Remote Health Minister and MLA for Yorkton Greg Ottenbreit said. “The new Collector plate is a way for car enthusiasts, myself included, to showcase that passion. It’s the final touch of authenticity to your classic car.” ”The history of our football team is ingrained in Saskatchewan culture,” Saskatchewan Roughrider Football Club President and CEO Jim Hopson said.

“We all know the Saskatch-

Moose Mountain Health Care Recruitment Commttee Fundraising Dinner

Attending this annual event “helps us to keep health care in the area,” according to Moose Mountain Health Care Recruitment Committee member, Sheila Sim of Arcola. “The food for the meal was donated by Carlyle businesses and one of the convening groups at Prairie Place cooked and served the meal. It’s a great cause to support and every dollar possible goes toward the recuitment and retention of medical personnel in the area.”

The Moose Mountain Health Care Recruitment Commttee held a fundraising evening on Sat., Nov. 29 at Arcola’s Prairie Place Hall. The event featured a cash bar and dinner, with entertainment by Anders Magic Show. Here, magician Anders Boulanger demonstrates a card trick with Gloria Knous of Stoughton.

WINTER

Moose Mountain Health Care Recruitment Committee member, Lynn Brady of Carlyle, says, “It can’t be a Carlyle thing, or an Arcola thing. We’ve had great support from both businesses and individuals throughout the area and we need that to continue.” The A&W and the Dairy Queen restaurants from Carlyle chose to hold their staff Christmas parties at the event. Pictured are some of the A&W staffers.

Attendees from throughout the area supported the commitee’s ongoing efforts to recruit and retain medical personnel in the area. Arcola’s Brenda Walter of thr MMHCRC prepares to address attendees at the event.

WELLNESS!

Events like this one help the Moose Mountain Health Care Recruitment Committee with their multi-faceted approach to bringing medical personnel to the area, including acquiring, repairing, and maintaining a home for use by medical professionals. “The R.M. of Moose Mountain was kind enough to give us a mortgage,” says Sheila Sim of the MMHCRC. “And we actually make monthly mortgage payments on that house, as part of our efforts to retain medical professionals for the area.” Volunteers like Cathy Burton of Arcola (pictured) all contribute to the committee’s efforts.

Obituaries Harold John Dyer Harold John Dyer 1917 – 2014 Harold Dyer, late of Weyburn, SK, and formerly of Carlyle, SK, passed away at Weyburn on his 97th birthday, November 14, 2014.

Harold will be forever remembered by his children, Edwin (Rita) Dyer, Alvin (Yvonne) Dyer, Sharon (Howard) Rutten, Bruce (Bev) Leippi, Sandra (Bryan) Trusty, Brian (Roberta) Dyer, Joanne (Bill) Hrehirchuk, Keith (Sandra) Dyer, Dwayne (Barb) Dyer and Terry Dyer; 26 grandchildren and 28 great grandchildren; 2 great great grandchildren; sisters, Lillian, Myrtle and Francis, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his ¿rst wife Martha; second wife Lorna; third wife Helen; parents, Charles and Ellen Dyer; daughter Marlene Dyer; daughters-in-law, Phyllis Dyer, Cheryl Dyer and Dorothy Dyer; siblings, Redge, Bert, Fred, Marjorie and Ethel.

A memorial service was held on Thursday, November 20, 2014, at 2:00 p.m. at the Full Gospel Church, Carlyle, with Pastor Carl Rushton of¿ciating. Interment followed at Glen Morris Cemetery.

Those wishing to make donations in Harold’s memory may do so directly to the Lung Association of Saskatchewan, 106 - 438 Victoria Avenue East, Regina, SK, S4N 0N7.

Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Hall Funeral Services, Estevan.

Gary (Munchkin) Mullis Gary (Munchkin) Mullis 1953 – 2014 Gary (Munchkin) Mullis, late of Arcola, SK passed away suddenly by Arcola on November 7, 2014 at the age of 61 years. He was predeceased by his father Vernon Mullis and infant brother Brian Mullis.

Gary is survived by his son Lyndon Mullis (Jordan Lequyer) and his daughter Kaylee Mullis, as well as their mother Claudia Mullis; his mother Dorothy Mullis; sister Debbie(Vern) Joa; brother Mark (Ange) Mullis, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and very special friends in his life.

Gary was born October 19, 1953 in Eston , SK and grew up on the family farm outside Tyner, SK. This is where he ¿rst found out that you could raise a “family of skunks” as pets which would come in handy later in his years and also ¿nd out how many practical jokes could be played living on a farm. This was a start of his funny happenings in his life. 1972 he moved to Moose Jaw to work for a sheet metal company and moved to Alberta to do various jobs including drilling water wells up in northern Saskatchewan in 1974. Gary worked for Sam’s Trucking out of Consort, AB and Haps from Wainwright, AB until he moved back to Eston for a year. Gary had really loved working in the oil patch so he decided to move to Estevan to haul rigs with Sam’s again. As Gary would recall, it was a fast paced lifestyle moving rigs but the friendships made along the way, the pranks played on each other and the endless material for jokes was “priceless”. In 1985 he moved to North Battleford, SK to be closer to his family who had relocated there after leaving Eston, to drive cattle liners out of that area. Farmers and feedlot personnel from far and wide would chuckle when they saw him coming because he always had some crazy joke for them to share. Tears Àowing and sides hurting, Gary would have everyone in stitches with his infectious laugh and giggle.

In 1988 Gary married Claudia Nankivell of Kisbey, SK and they were blessed with Lyndon and Kaylee. Busy with driving truck for various local trucking companies, Gary loved the opportunity to go hunting and ¿shing throughout the local area. “A day of ¿shing was more fun than a day at work”. He had the opportunity to experience four years of hauling fuel on the ice roads from Yellowknife, YT to the diamond mines in the north. This was where he experienced one of nature’s greatest wonders “The Northern Lights”, which moved him spiritually, he said.

In the last two years, Gary fought his battle against prostate cancer and won. He was living a life in the hills in his new home and loved being one with nature…especially a little baby skunk that he would care for and take with him everywhere. People everywhere knew about “Mel” and the stories Gary would tell about him were hilarious.

Although Gary’s life was taken suddenly, he will always be remembered as a proud father and a friend to all with his quick wit and love of jokes.

A Service of Thanksgiving and Farewell was held at Arcola Prairie Place on November 14, 2014 with Rev. Michelle Moore leading the service. Interment took place at Percy Cemetery, in his beloved hills.

Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Hall Funeral Services, Estevan.

Donations in Gary’s memory can be made to Prostrate Cancer Canada or STARS Air Ambulance.

THANK-YOU The family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation to everyone that gave food, Àowers, phone calls, cards, texts and just went that extra mile to console us. Special thanks to Michelle Moore for a very personal and touching service. Special thanks to Fern Rebekah Lodge, Kisbey, the Kisbey Rec. Centre Auxiliary and the Kisbey community for providing the lovely lunch. Also a very warm thank-you to friends and family that traveled the distance to pay their respects. We are truly blessed to come from a small community with such big hearts. God bless you.

Doris Irene Faber December 26, 1921 – November 18, 2014 Doris Irene Faber (nee MacDonald) passed away November 18, 2014, at the New Hope Pioneer Lodge at Stoughton, SK.

She was predeceased by her parents, Dan and Maggie MacDonald; ¿rst husband, John, of 33 years; second husband, William “Bill” King, of 10 years; 7 sisters, Florence Barber, Ethel O’Neill, Donalda Jacobi, Margaret Wentzell, Hilda Gray, Marion Morrow, Eleanor Flynn; 2 brothers, Ken and Glen; sister in infancy, Catherine MacDonald; one great grandson, Ben. Doris was born on December 26, 1921, at the MacDonald homestead twelve miles southeast of Carlyle, SK. She was the seventh child of twelve. She attended Queensville district school and in her later years she attended high school in Carlyle where she obtained her grade 12. In 1941, she married John Faber and for thirty three years they farmed together north of Alameda. They raised ¿ve children on the farm, Carol, Reg, Brian, Dale, and Shauna.

After her husband, John, passed away she moved off the farm to the town of Alameda. She went to work at the hospital in Oxbow as a cook for several years. Doris was active in her community and was known to be a very good cook. Over the years she grew to be an accomplished curler and later on became an enthusiastic golfer. In 1987, she married Bill King and they had many happy years together until his death in 1998. In 2007, Doris moved to Carlyle where she resided until becoming ill and moving to the New Hope Pioneer Lodge at Stoughton in August of 2014.

Newton Melville Whitfield Mr. Newton M. Whit¿eld of Estevan, formerly of Carlyle and Alameda, passed away at the Regina General Hospital, Regina, SK on Friday, November 28, 2014 at the age of 91. Newton was born in the Alameda District on March 5, 1923 to Mary and Melville Whit¿eld. He took his schooling at the Fairplain and Sandringham School and then at Alameda to complete high school.

After graduation, he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force (R.C.A.F.) during the Second World War. Enlisting in Air Crew, he commenced training as a pilot. Basic training took him to Brandon, MB then to High River, AB for his elementary Àying course. He later returned to Brandon to complete his training and received his wings and commission in March of 1945. Since the war was almost over Newton was sent home on two months leave and in May of 1945 he received his discharge from the R.C.A.F. He then took a diesel mechanics course through the Chicago Vocational Training School by correspondence and went to Edmonton, AB to complete the practical portion. He returned home to purchase land from his father. In the meantime, Newton found the girl he would eventually marry! In the spring of 1958 a farm was purchased and on July 12, 1958 Newton married Jeanette Krieger. In the 60’s Newton and Jeanette ventured into the livestock business and decided to raise Charolais cattle – a new exotic breed originating in France. In the span of 25 years the couple developed a respectable herd that was recognized in both Canada and the U.S.A. In 1986 the herd was dispersed at a big sale at the Alameda Auction Mart. Newton and Jeanette lived on the farm until 1998. Newton was active in the community over the years serving with the Agriculture Society, Alameda Credit Union, Alameda Telephone Company, Alameda United Church (steward/trustee), Alameda Legion and United Grain Growers. Newton is survived by his wife Jeanette; brother Grant; sister-in-law Audrey; brother-in-law Cecil; numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Mr. and Mrs. Melville and Mary (Thistlethwaite) Whit¿eld; brother Keith; sister Greta; sister-in-law Barbara; sister-in-law Marjorie; niece Merlyne; nephew Layne. The funeral service was held from the Alameda United Church, Alameda, SK on Tuesday, December 2, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. with Sandy Dalziel of¿ciating. Interment at the Alameda Cemetery will take place at a later date. Donations in memory of Newton may be made to the Alameda United Church, G/Del., Alameda, SK S0C 0A0.

Eric Scott Lanktree Eric Scott Lanktree passed away suddenly on November 3, 2014 at the age of 25 years. Eric was born on April 10, 1989 in Arcola, SK, the only child of Brian and Carrie Lanktree. He was predeceased by his grandfathers, L. Percy Lanktree and Walter “Doc” Anderson.

He was raised in Weyburn, SK. As a child, Eric was curious and he always wanted to know how things worked and this usually involved taking things apart. Sometimes this even involved putting them back together again.

Eric enjoyed skating and playing hockey in the Weyburn Minor Hockey system which helped to create many lifelong friendships. Eventually he became a member of the Weyburn Minor Hockey Of¿ciating Team as a referee and linesman. He spent many hours refereeing hockey all over south east Saskatchewan, from initiation, all the way to the Big 6 hockey league. Eric also enjoyed playing soccer through his school years and continued to play after with the Weyburn Strikers Senior Men’s Team where he shared many laughs with the guys.

From a young age Eric always wanted to be a ¿re¿ghter. Eventually he would see his dream come true by serving as a volunteer ¿re¿ghter and a brief tenure as a professional ¿re¿ghter with the Weyburn Fire Brigade. Eric’s sense of humour, cool headedness, and charisma will never be forgotten by the other members of the Weyburn Fire Brigade.

In high school, Eric worked in the produce department at the Wholesale Club, and the Sports and Seasonal department at Canadian Tire. Eventually he found his forte at New Age Electronics as a salesperson and later a custom installer. Some of the keys to Eric’s success in this job were attributable to his personable attitude, interest in changing technology, and his hard work ethic. This led to many new clients and valued relationships with his coworkers whom we know Eric loved dearly. This made Eric a key player in the New Age Electronics organization. Eric enjoyed the perks of working in such a revolutionary business and was always up to date with the most current electronic devices and services.

Eric and Vanessa are high school sweethearts and best friends. Their love grew over the past 8 years together. Eric and Vanessa were meant to be together for forever. Eric married his girlfriend of many years on September 8, 2012. They were married in Weyburn, SK on the most beautiful and perfect day with all their loving family and friends in attendance. Eric was always planning what their next project would be or the next thing they would do together. They often talked about their future together and their yesterday and tomorrows.

The love Eric and Vanessa have for one another is one of a kind. It was so true and passionate; they loved each other with their full heart and soul and knew they were in it for forever. People could see the way they loved each other, but when they were together it is something that was indescribable. Eric loved Vanessa so much, and she could see it in his actions, the way he kissed her so meaningful, the way he talked to her, but most of all, she could see the true love in his beautiful, brown eyes.

Eric was also a loved son in the Paslawski family. He enjoyed helping them with anything they asked, as Eric always wanted to help everyone. Eric started to really get involved with the different things the Paslawski family did, so he fell in love with hunting and had even started helping with different farming operations.

When he found something new that he liked, he worked at it to succeed. No matter what it was he always wanted to learn something new. Eric also enjoyed riding his quad and shooting clay targets with Levi and Vanessa. Eric spent countless hours with his nephew Dominick Loos, from teaching him new things to just playing with toys. Eric was going to make an amazing father one day as we could see in his loving mannerism with Dominick and all the other children that were part of his life.

At Eric’s Funeral Service during the reading of his Eulogy one of his very close friends stated The reason Eric was such a fantastic person is because of his parents, Brian and Carrie Lanktree. They taught him that having a good work ethic and being disciplined were the tools to success.

I remember going to visit Eric at a younger age, and when he got tired, he just went to bed. At ¿rst I didn’t know why, but as I got older I realized that he wanted to get up the next morning at a decent hour to start his day off right. For Eric, there was no time to sleep in, there were things to be done, and I think many of Eric’s friends and family really respected that. As an only child, Eric could have been horribly spoiled, but Brian and Carrie held him accountable for his actions so therefore had to work for everything that he achieved. Eric and Brian spent many hours together motorcycling, camping, diving, and as well help building Eric and Vanessa’s dream house. Carrie taught Eric to be sensitive to other’s needs, as well as the power of love and loving others unconditionally. Both of them together taught Eric the importance of work-life balance, and the value of family, which was evident in his everyday life. Another role model for Eric was his uncle, Stacy Anderson. You could just see the sparkle in his eye every time he brought up his uncles name, and it gave him an immediate jump in his step. They were almost more like brothers, than an uncle and nephew. Eric was so very lucky to have an uncle who cared about him so dearly, and worked so hard to make him happy.

After talking to lots of people about Eric, their stories usually revolve around what kind of a person he really was. Eric was always ready to assist in emergency situations where he had no problem putting his life in harm’s way to save the life of another. That is just the way he was. He was always willing to help anyone, friend, stranger, customer, and ensure that things were better than when he ¿rst started. Eric was funny, joyful, and always loved having a good time. He never got jealous or greedy and he was always willing to spend time with “the guys” or his many other brothers.

This included bike trips across Canada, trips to Brandon, hot holidays with his mom and dad as well as Vanessa and her family. If we can learn anything from Eric’s passing it’s how to live your life with humility, and without prejudice. The importance of being involved in the community such as joining the Young Fellows, to laugh and laugh often, to experience the world but plan for the future. To be compassionate, love unconditionally and not be afraid to tell those you love that you care. To be a devoted husband, to make time for family and friends and to always help those in need, these were the principals Eric lived by. As the playwright Robert Anderson once wrote, ‘Death ends a life, not a relationship,’ we will all treasure our time spent with Eric and keep him in our hearts always. As time goes hopefully we can all let go of the pain and allow the memories of Eric to remain. Eric, you were nothing short of an outstanding citizen, and you served your community with class and grace. You were always the life of the party. Your infectious laugh always brightened everyone’s day.

There was nothing you wouldn’t do to make someone’s day better. Weyburn has truly lost its favoured son, but you and your legacy will never be forgotten. People always talk about life, and measure it with the number of breaths taken, but sometimes we forget, that a life should be measured by the amount of times we have our breaths taken away. Although your life was cut short, you still lived a ful¿lling life, which impacted everyone around you.

Eric will be lovingly remembered by his wife & best friend, Vanessa Lanktree; parents, Brian & Carrie Lanktree and Dale & Mary Anne Paslawski of Weyburn, SK; sister, Julie-Anne (Tyson) Loos and baby, Dominick; and brother, Levi Paslawski of Weyburn, SK; special uncles, Stacy (Susan) Anderson & son, Nate of Edmonton, AB; Dave (Terry) Lanktree of Vulcan, AB and, children, Clarke (Katie Carew), Owen and Kellie; grandmothers, Marg Lanktree, Pat Anderson (Alex Szilagyi) and Nellie Skiba; grandparents, Fred and Evelyn Paslawski; the Irwin and VanRoon families as well as numerous friends and relatives. The Funeral Service was held on Monday November 17, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. at Grace United Church, Weyburn, SK with Reverend M. Barnabas of¿ciating. Active Pallbearers were, Luk Bell, Adam Ziegler, Jeremy VanRoon, Jeff Davies, Adrian Miller and Rylan Trithart. Honorary Pallbearers were the members of the Weyburn Fire Department. The Eulogy was delivered by John, Gene, and Robert Irwin. Donations in memory of Eric may be made to Stars Air Ambulance or the Weyburn Fire Department. Interment took place at Hillcrest Cemetery, Weyburn, SK. Condolences may be left at: www.Àetcherfuneralchapel.com. Arrangements entrusted to Fletcher Funeral Chapel, Weyburn, Saskatchewan, 306-842-5432.

Kenosee Lake News Tuesday, November 25 there was a coffee session at the Four Seasons Community Hall with about 13 drinkers in all. The proceeds of the coffee cliches go toward helping pay for the bills of the Four Seasons building. There was also an executive meeting about the same time held in a different area. After the executive meeting there was a whirl of activity as the executive decorated the Four Seasons building. It is getting closer to Christmas.

Thursday, November 27 there were about nine people for coffee.

Saturday, November 29 there were about six coffee drinkers daring to go out in the terribly cold weather. The TV station announced it was nearly 40 degrees below zero. One must be dedicated to go out for an emergency never mind drinking coffee which could be done at home in warmth!

Monday, December 1 there were eight people at the Four Seasons for Pot Luck and cards. Next week there will be a report of the Christmas Pot Luck happening this week.

The final gathering for November at the Moose Mountain Church of Christ in the Village of Kenosee Lake included the excitement of having former Visiting Minister Darrell Buchanan present to lead the church service with the intriguing title of “This Holy Mess.� Made one perk up one’s ears! He was introduced by John McMillan of the Moose Mountain Church of Christ. Visiting Minister Darrell Buchanan and wife, Darlene, came back to the south east of Saskatchewan on Nov. 30 for his first service in the new building at Kenosee Lake. After graduation in the 1980’s Buchanan’s first church where he ministered was Wawota. The Church of Christ church used to be located in Wawota. He had come back for a visit and now the location of the brand new church, Moose

Mountain Church of Christ, is in the Village of Kenosee Lake seen along highway # 209 which is the main road heading into the Moose Mountain Provincial Park.

A totally new venue. But the messages included, “Serve others... We may be believers of Jesus but we don’t always act in lovable ways – we have feet of clay! The power for change comes

from God.�Buchanan said, “We need to care for each other,� and added, “We need to see through the ordinary to see extraordinary!� He felt God’s work of church should be grounded in “community� and he felt, “Our job (as a minister or even as a person is to) pay attention ... ordinary people living ordinary lives can change the world!�

Helping Visiting Minister Darrell Buchanan were some of the people of the church, Howard Floyd led congregational singing and Paul and Heather Moore helped with the singing of some children’s songs requiring some dexterity while singing and standing too! Cameron Husband and Jim Sedor and others helped out too. There was

interaction over the parable of “The Prodigal Son� between the visiting minister and members of the congregation as many expressed their personal opinions of the wonderful welcome the younger son received after returning home a broken person from doing wrongs in society. The younger son’s welcome home by their father enraged the

older son. He had remained working at home with his father! The family crisis in, “The Prodigal Son� was solved as love overcomes all as always. After church Visiting Minister Darrell and Darlene Buchanan were thanked for their contributions for the day at the Moose Mountain Church of Christ Church Service.

OBSERVER AGRICULTURE The evolution of farming is amazing, startling, crazy and scary

By Calvin Daniels You can pick the word which best suits your view, but regardless, things on the farm have changed a lot since our forefathers first arrived on the Canadian Prairies, taking 160-acres of virgin land, and began to carve out a living for themselves and their families.

I still find it difficult how a mere 160-acres could sustain a family, especially in an era when families often hit double digits in terms of children but it did.

But the quarter section farm was a short-lived thing.

From the end of the First World War until now, farms have trended ever-larger.

The reasoning has always boiled down to the belief that with added acres comes an economy of scale.

To a point that makes sense. The cost of iron; tractors, seeders and combines, have always been significant to a farm operation, and there was a sense in trying to maximize the acres covered to in essence extend those

costs over more acres.

But that reasoning has long ago maxed out, and most farms today have more than one large tractor, one combine, one seeder unit.

And still farm size grows.

Maybe nowhere, at least on the Canadian Prairies has the growth been any more significant than in the case of Broadacre Agriculture which recently requested bankruptcy protection.

Broadacre was incorporated in 2010 as a company with a mandate to purchase large tracts of land and exploit the aforementioned economies of scale.

The goal was to farm more than 200,000 acres, but had amassed only 9,000 acres of owned and 56,000 acres of leased land in Saskatchewan, when it filed for protection under the weight of some $14 million in debt.

The issue with farms of such scale is two-fold.

To begin with there is a need for new management

Transportation issues cost Saskatchewan producers billions Western grain producers lost an estimated $3.1 billion in 2013/14 and could lose an additional $2 billion in 2014/15 because of failures in the transportation and handling systems.

Given these significant losses and other related concerns, the coalition, which consists of Sask Pulse, Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission, Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission and Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS), submitted preliminary recommendations on the Canada Transportation Act (CTA) review panel this morning and is calling on other organizations and individuals to submit their comments before a December 31, 2014,

deadline.

“The grain handling and transportation system has undergone substantial change. Railways are centralizing their services and placing significant investments made by producers, shortlines and producer car loading sites at risk,” says Norm Hall, APAS President and spokesperson for the coalition. “From the coalition’s perspective, if we are redesigning a transportation system that is clearly not working for producers, who is actively looking after producers’ interests?’

The coalition framed their recommendations around four objectives that include fostering competition, increasing market transparency, being positioned for future growth,

and ensuring producers have a voice in the transportation system. The recommendations also call for a full railway costing review to be made before any adjustments are made to the maximum revenue entitlement program, a higher priority placed on producer cars, and that the CTA create a rail oversight group, that includes agricultural producer representation, to assess ongoing operations of the railways.

“The bottom line is that farmers and the Saskatchewan economy suffered a substantial loss in 2013/14 and these producer income losses continue into 2014/15,” Hall says.

“Major adjustments need to be made to ensure farmers are treated fairly in a transparent environment with long-term commitment. The coalition hopes that other organizations and individuals will respond to the call for submissions.”

skills that are not easily found. The sheer scale of dealing with cropping rotations, timely seeding, spraying and similar in-crop operations, mass marketings of grains, and even finding staff, change the dynamics of a farm of such size.

The second issue is cash flow.

A downturn in prices, a subpar crop, or other factors can impact any farm’s bottom line.

But the more acres and bushels involved the greater the gross dollars.

A thousand acre farm losing $50 an acre is $50,000 and while substantial to the operator is not a threatening amount to the money lender.

That same $50 loss per acre on the Broadacre $3.25 million, and a lender gets antsy. A 200,000-acre farm would be $10 million in the red.

Overcoming those two issues will be the limiting factor in terms of viable farm size.

Bringing flooded forage acres back into production

By Charlotte Ward, PAg, Regional Forage Specialist, Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture The last number of years have not been kind to perennial forage stands throughout many areas of the province. Excess moisture has resulted in water sitting in forage stands for prolonged periods of time and we have seen a significant amount of forage acres lost. Livestock and forage producers are now faced with the question - What do I do with these acres to bring them back into production?

This is not an easy answer and there are a number of factors that need to be considered before a decision is made. These include: 1) What is the size of the area affected? Is the area one large area or is it spread out in a series of potholes (0.25 to 1 acre) throughout the forage stand?

2) Is the area currently being used for hay or for pasture? Do you have the option of keeping livestock off the area as the forage re-establishes?

3) What forage species were present in the stand before the flooding?

4) Do you anticipate flooding again?

5) What type of soils are you dealing with? Is it good quality soil or is it subject to other factors such as salinity or crusting?

When a large area is affected, it is often much easier to deal with than a number of smaller areas that are spread out. On large acreages, this can be addressed by killing the existing vegetation and trying to establish species which are more adapted to the current conditions. If the area has dried considerably and you are able to get in with equipment, tillage

or chemical control are both good options. If the area is still wet, it may be beneficial to wait until conditions are desirable for preparing a good seed bed and getting a good establishment. Late fall plantings are often the best time to establish forages in saline or wet soils when drier soils permit machinery to cross with minimal difficulty. Seeds will germinate early the following spring. Once established, perennial forages can have water-depleting characteristics which can be used to draw down the water table, leading to decreased soil salinity near the soil surface.

For those areas where it is not feasible to go in with large equipment and reseed, one strategy that can be used to suppress the foxtail barley and weeds is to smother the weeds and create a thatch layer with hay that has some mature seed set in it. This may be a good option when the area to be re-established is in a pasture and the non-affected acres are still needed as a grazing resource, or you don’t want to invest a lot purchasing forage seed. Winter feeding on these sites can also be an option, but careful consideration must be given to nutrient loading, runoff, soil characteristics and the groundwater.

Another strategy for re-establishing small areas of drowned out forages within a pasture situation is to broadcast seeds in the areas to be re-established and then allow hoof action to increase the seed to soil contact. While this strategy may require limited investment in terms of land preparation and seeding costs, it is likely to be less efficient in terms of the number of plants that actually establish for the amount of seed that is broadcast. This strategy on its own is not likely to

address any foxtail barley or existing weeds issues.

What we have seen in the last couple of years with these flooded forage acres, is not only an increase in soil moisture but also an increase in salinity. In some cases, this has created a shift in forage species to more moisture tolerant species such as timothy, alsike or red clover; or in cases where salinity has increased, the shift has been to quackgrass or more likely foxtail barley.

The factor to keep in mind is that these flooded areas are often quite variable in terms of moisture and salinity gradients, and that a simple bromegrassalfalfa blend that many producers use is not likely going to be well adapted to these areas. More complex blends that include species such as timothy, red or alsike clover (moisture tolerance), wildryes, slender, pubescent or western wheatgrass (salinity tolerance) or tall fescue (moderate moisture and salinity tolerance) will ensure that the gradients of moisture and salinity are covered.

It is still important to include some of the more common species, such as bromegrasses and alfalfa, to establish on the drier and less saline areas, however, they are not likely going to be as dominant in the seed blend.

Bringing flooded forage acres back into production is not an easy task.

Strategies that may work on one parcel of land may not work on another and the path to re-establishment is often one will require a multitude of techniques.

The recently-released book ‘Legacy of Worship’ features historic churches from across Saskatchewan, including places of worship in Cannington Manor and Alida. Award-winning photographer and Wawota native, Larry Easton, took most of the book’s photos and says the project “took five years and 50,000 kilometres to complete.” Pictured is Easton’s favourite church to photograph, Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Stanley Mission, Saskatchewan’s oldest building. The book is published

by Coteau Press in Regina.

“The first one took us three years to do,” says Easton. “This book took five years. I already had some pictures to work with-especially from Cannington Manor- and of course, I went out and got more, once we decided to do this book. The two writers also had ideas and a list.

I put pictures on an external hard drive and we went through all of the pictures individually and we also sat down as a trio.”

“A lot of the photos start out as reconnaisance.

You shoot the outside and then later, when you decide to include that building in the book, you go back to get the inside, and in most cases, someone usually has to let you in.”

“It’s a picture-heavy book. Most of the pictures are colour, but it also features archival pictures. I took the pictures throughout the seasons, including winter,” says Easton. “We wanted to show all seasons in both of the books, but in some cases, winter was

the best time to photograph a building, simply because the foliage would block or shade the view of the church itself.”

Easton says that many of Saskatchewan’s historic churches display the work of both professional artists and architects as well as local artists and craftspeople.

“Many churches are struggling to survive and some, unfortunately, are abandoned or are in ruins.”

“One of the reasons membership has declined is because of larger farms,” he says. “There are fewer families farming larger farms, so there isn’t always the population to support rural and small urban churches.

Migration to large urban centres is also a factor,” he says.

“I photographed the cemetery near where I grew up. There’s no church there now, just a cemetery and a plaque. The community was Highview, west of Wawota. I’ve included a colour photograph that my mother, Leah Easton, took of the

church there.”

Easton says his favourite church to photograph is Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Stanley Mission, the oldest known, exsiting building in Saskatchewan.

Constructed between 1854 and 1860, the church is located in the northern Saskatchewan community of Stanley Mission, on the banks of the Churchill River.

“It used to be a flyin only community,” says Easton. “I’ve been there on canoe trips, and I’ve photographed it over the years.

One of the first pictures I took of it was from the air, when our family flew in.

The church is on the banks of the Churchill River, north of LaRonge, and across from the town of Stanley Mission. Although there is a road into the town now, to get to the church, you still have to canoe or kayak there.”

“Although I’ve photographed it before, I wanted to capture the fall colours for the pictures in this book,” says Easton. “I contacted a guy up there and asked him to let me know when the fall colours were coming on. I went up there and there were perfect fall colours.”

“The day I went to photograph the church, I got pictures of the outside, but there was a wedding going on inside, so I had to wait in the boat outside until the ceremony was finished.

Things were running a bit late, and I was worried about losing the late afternoon light, which I wanted.

Luckily, by 4 p.m., the guide and I were able to go inside and clear up the confetti, so I could photograph the interior of the church. I got the pictures I wanted, the fall colours, and the late afternoon light.”

Easton’s devotion to capturing the perfect picture extends to this book, as

www.carlyleobserver.com

he explains the process of choosing the cover picture for ‘Legacy of Worship.’

“The picture we chose for the cover was taken south of Assiniboia, in the Rockglen area,” he says.

“It’s a Lutheran church, but that’s not why we chose it.

I just looked at the land-

scape, the church and the image and thought: ‘That’s the quintessential prairie church.’”

“With our books, we want to create a legacy of buildings in the province that in some cases, are disappearing: elevators,
