Paul Nichols journeys across Canada for veterans

Kelly Running Observer Staff

Canadian Forces veterans can have a difficult time reintegrating into civilian life, but it’s an invisible burden they bear. Although the country heavily focuses on veterans of the First and Second World Wars, Canada has three generations of soldiers in need of being helped and thanked for their services. Paul Nichols, 46, is a veteran who has taken it upon himself to bring a voice to others. Oftentimes veterans come home or move into a community after serving the country and quietly live without even their neighbours knowing about their service. It’s a silent struggle that can affect veterans’ lives as transitioning from military to civilian life including family breakups, mental illness, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Nichols was a soldier with the Calgary Highlanders and Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. He served during the 1990s in Bosnia and Croatia, but found that returning home and leaving the Photo by Kelly Running military would be his greatest Paul Nichols has spoken with many veterans throughout his journey and is seen here speaking with a veteran from Wawota. challenge.

From Page 1 - Paul Nichols THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: CANCER, LEO AND VIRGO.

Week of July 5 to 11, 2015 ARIES You feel like daydreaming and relaxing after you’re settled in the comfort of your home. Watching some good movies allows you to escape and really unwind.

TAURUS There’s certainly no lack of conversation, but it’s difficult for you to control the subject. You talk about some personal issues that you probably would have preferred to keep secret.

GEMINI You’re well aware that quality materials for renovating your home are not just a luxury, but also an investment. Don’t be afraid to make changes in your home so that it’s more to your liking.

CANCER During a trip, conference, training session or even some sort of therapy, you may meet someone who captivates you and makes you relive certain emotions that you’d buried.

LEO You have no intention of settling for a little “I love you.” It will take a lot more than that from your loved one to make you dream. In fact, he or she may treat you to a really romantic experience.

VIRGO Vacation time is here? Nothing’s forcing you to stay home. You could plan a vacation abroad or a long road trip with family or friends in order to get away from it all.

LIBRA Your home and finances are often a source of worry, which does nothing to improve your love relationship. You should try to find another topic of conversation to relieve the tension.

SCORPIO Cleaning is an irksome chore that you put off until later, but you may run out of time. As long as you know how to communicate your brilliant ideas, they pay off big time at work.

SAGITTARIUS You feel the need to improve your home’s security. For your peace of mind, you might want to take action by having an alarm system and better locks installed.

CAPRICORN Your impulsiveness may be difficult to manage. At work, you climb the ladder at lightning speed, but it’s only when you’re at the top that you realize the scope of your new responsibilities.

share across the country as suicide has a higher death toll amongst serving members than death in combat. This is a harsh reality which helped lead the Nichols to this journey bringing awareness to the issue. “I was in Vancouver, I was wearing a light jacket and it had the military crest on it,” Paul said of the moment he pinpoints as inspiration for the ride. “She recognized the crest and began talking to me. She was a survivor from Sarajevo, she had survived in an underground parking lot over there. She told me her story, gave me a hug, and thanked me. It was a heartfelt moment, I had tears in my eyes, she had tears, and everyone else in the line had tears from the story as well. It was a turning point, it was a huge deal for me and was because she simply chose to share her story.” Stories are what the Nichols’ share throughout the communities, they tell theirs and find veterans willing to share with them in turn. While travelling they attempt to discover who the veterans are before arriving in a town. Often the veterans are the ones who come out to the community dinners yet hang back with people unaware of the individuals’ service. Photo by Kelly Running “A couple of days ago there was a man at Terry and Paul Nichols stopped in Wawota for a community one of these events who was hesitant to talk to event on Sunday, June 28, where they spoke about Paul’s story us, but he did call us and will be joining the ride and Communities For Veterans Foundation. Paul is riding across with us in Quebec,” Terry explained. “Horses Canada to raise awareness for Canadian Forces veterans in an can give comfort to us and he had come to a rideffort to garner more support for those transitioning from military ing clinic, we have veterans ride with us when life to civilian life, which can be very difficult. we can, and we were in the barn. He began opening up and sharing his story with me. He had been in Somalia, had served for six years, and when he came home he was told by someone that he wasn’t a ‘real’ veteran. He beat that person up who said that to him and went to jail, he ended up in jail a total of three times. He withdrew from his military brothers and from the community.” “We have letters that students at the school back home wrote for veterans we meet along the way and we gave him one of these letters, it was addressed, ‘Dear Veteran,’ and he said it was the first time he had been thanked for his service, twenty-five years after he served.” The Nichols and their team began their journey on April 13 from Victoria and they have been moving eastward. “We’ll be joined by over 700 people by the time we get to St. John’s, easily,” Terry stated. “We’re on day seventy-something of 211 and will be in Newfoundland the first week of November.” “We absolutely love small town Saskatchewan. We’ve been staying with a lot of families here, other places we were staying in larger facilities, so this is really nice.” Paul rides seven horses, four are used in a day, switching out so as not to overwork the horses. He rides about an average of 35 kilometres per day and they invite veterans to ride with them. Their journey will take them through all of the provincial capitals as well as through Ottawa. “As Canadians we love our troops,” Paul said. “But we also miss the mark because we need to support our veterans better. It’s tough because we don’t always know who the veterans are or we sometimes forget about them and this ride is a reminder of that.” Nichols journeyed from Kennedy to Wawota on Sunday, June 28, and continued from Wawota to Maryfield the following day.

AQUARIUS Home, family and projects cost a lot at this time of year. Vacation time is approaching and you want to have everything ready so that you can relax without a care in the world.

PISCES Sometimes you have to put yourself first. You wouldn’t hesitate for a second to give to people in distress. However, be careful not to place yourself in a precarious financial situation.

Celebrating growth: Crescent Point’s success in southeast

Kelly Running Observer Staff

Crescent Point Energy has been a very supportive company in Carlyle and the surrounding area over the years. Recently they built a new building in Carlyle and are focused on growth. Crescent Point was first established in Calgary in 2001 by current President and CEO, Scott Saxberg. Beginning by raising money the company would first acquire assets in Alberta, but the year after it was founded Crescent Point obtained an acquisition in Manor, SK, and has been a factor in the area ever since. In 2003 Crescent Point continued to grow its interests in southeast Saskatchewan with acquisitions south of Weyburn and elsewhere in the area. In 2006 they obtained what Ryan Gritzfeldt, VP of Engineering and Business Development East, said was “a significant acquisition in the Bakken.” With an emphasis on growth it was in 2009 when Crescent Point took over Talisman’s southeast Saskatchewan assets. With this acquisition came Talisman’s Carlyle oﬃce, which turned out to be the perfect location for Crescent Point. “We decided to keep that oﬃce going,” Gritzfeldt explained. “Carlyle is a great location for us and a great community. I was actually a student who worked for Talisman in 1995 and then I worked as a field engineer, so I

worked in the old office and got to know the community.” With growth in mind, the small Talisman office was soon outgrown and a larger office building was needed. “We opened a new office in Weyburn fiveyears ago, and it was designed for future growth,” Gritzfeldt said. “Thinking back to Weyburn in 2010 that office was only half filled and now five-years later it’s packed as well.” “Our Carlyle office should hold 70 staff, and we’re only close to half right now, maybe 40, so when we began planning this office we kept Weyburn in mind and designed Carlyle’s for future growth as well.” Gritzfeldt explained that the company has grown quickly beginning just over 13 years ago with zero barrels of oil produced to now producing 150,000 barrels per day. “Carlyle is our central location,” he continued. “We’ve had successful growth in the area and have assets west in the Bakken, east into Manitoba, as well as north and south. It’s a good location for us and we’re excited to give our staff a bright and spacious place to work there.” Ground for the new building was broken in April 2014, although planning began in 2012. The new building which stands at the intersection of Hwy 9 north and Hwy 13 is approximately 20,000 square feet within its

two-storey layout. Within the building are meeting areas, a large board room as well as a smaller board room, numerous offices, a cubicle area for consultants and summer students, and a kitchen. “It’s part of the culture we have here, we want people to come together and not just be hunkered down in their offices,” explained Barb Morrison, Team Lead Corporate Facilities. One of the rooms Crescent Point is particularly proud of is the Rail Room. The rail room is monitored 24-hours a day and is something unique. “We haven’t had a room quite like it before,” Morrison said. The Rail Room allows Crescent Point employees to monitor and control each rail car being loaded in the area at the Transfer Station in Stoughton and in Shaunavon, with the intention of setting up monitoring of the rail sites in Utah from the Carlyle office as well. The Crescent Point building is therefore based on growth and the company remains dedicated to the area. With employees moving in on Monday, June 15, to begin working out of the building Crescent Point hosted a free BBQ for the community on Tuesday, June 23, for their Grand Opening. Many people from Carlyle and the surrounding area attended to learn more about the new structure in town. Crescent Point continues to enjoy a mutually beneficial

community initiatives such as BoogieFest, the Crescent Point Leisure Complex, Classroom Champions, and more,” Anna Palmiere, Community Relations Advisor, explained.

“We have several years left of drilling inventory in the area and we look forward to continued successful growth,” Gritzfeldt added.

Continued improvements at Carlyle Airport Kelly Running Observer Staff

Staff photo by Kelly Running

Abby and her dad, Hubert Buensalida, stand with the plane they later went for a ride in during the Fly In Breakfast held in Carlyle on Saturday, June 27.

The Carlyle Flying Club hosted their annual “Fly In Breakfast,” on Saturday, June 27, with the help of the Moose Mountain Air Cadets. The Flying Club has been busy and continues plans of improvements into 2016 explained President of the Carlyle Flying Club, Brad Walker. Last year the airport underwent a 550 foot expansion, which leaves the runway now at 3,650 feet. The construction of which was funded through largely private donations coupled with funds raised by the Flying Club and government grants. Additionally they installed an Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) which provides up to date information on wind speed and direction, altimeter settings, and visibility. New runway lighting was also installed last year. This year the Flying Club hopes to continue their airport improvements, which includes the installation of an instrument approach system, sealing cracks in the runway, and painting the runway. Next year’s vision includes finishing the expansion of the runway, which will be to 5,000 feet. This expansion that they have been working towards will allow light business jets to land in Carlyle. All of the facilities are in place to handle light business jets according to Walker who added that the only thing needed to bring them in is the finishing of the runway. In 2016 the Flying Club will also be celebrating their 60th anniversary and are planning to host, along with their Fly In Breakfast, a small air show. Walker went on to explain the intricacies of the airport. “The Flying Club and the Town work together as the Airport Commission,” he said. “We work together with it, but the airport is supported through a user pay model. We generate our funds through the hangar leases and that’s actually our operational budget.” “We all want to move the facility forward, to improve and expand it for business operations here. To be able to have a vibrant and functioning, well equipped airport is important, it helps develop and support functions in the community: the Air Ambulance, the agricultural air spraying operations, and pipeline surveying.” “The flying community here is a very active one and it takes a great deal of time and funds to improve the facility, which we’re always improving in small steps because it’s important to be maintaining the air port.” If anyone is interested in joining the Flying Club contact Garnet Goud in charge of memberships at 1-306-5777630.

EZ Wash celebrates grand opening with STARS Kelly Running Observer Staff

Jeff Russill was happy to celebrate with the community on Wednesday, June 24, at a beef on a bun luncheon hosted at the EZ Car Wash. As both a grand opening and a way to raise money for STARS the day was well attended. Plans for the operation began in the fall of 2012 as Jeff approached the town to discuss his plans for the piece of land at the intersection of Hwy 13 and Hwy 9 North. It was a long process as the plans were forwarded to Community Planning and 18 months later they were given approval. Construction started last year in May and the building was ready to be opened at the end of March this year. “We have been open for a little while, we wanted to work through and tweak anything we needed to, but it’s finally all together,” Deb Russill said, explaining why the grand opening wasn’t held earlier. The EZ Wash grand opening offered a meal for $10 with all funds raised being donated to STARS, of which a STARS representative was available to speak with at a booth set up for the day. Following the lunch the STARS car was sent through the touchless wash marking the beginning of free carwashes for the afternoon in celebration of their grand opening. The car wash features six wash bays with wands and one drive through touchless wash, which is an exciting feature many in Carlyle and surrounding community were patiently awaiting during the construction of EZ Wash. EZ Wash features bright LED lighting, which was a decision made to help illuminate vehicles and ensure the individual washing their car can see that they haven’t missed a spot. There are also a variety of features that can be used including wax, motor cleaner, tire cleaner, and more. These features can be purchased within the touchless wash, which is easy to use. “You drive up and pay for the wash you’d like,” Deb explained. “You then just drive in and stop, the unit moves around your vehicle and adjusts to each car. It tells you when to move forward, when to stop, and if you’ve gone too far it even tells you to back up.” Following the automatic wash the dryer starts and as you drive through slowly your vehicle is dried to eliminate spots where dust can stick after a vehicle is washed. With automatic doors installed it will make washing a vehicle in winter easy, but one of the advanced features EZ Wash has includes air curtains at these doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. The car wash is fully accessible by cash and credit card, and although the touchless wash doesn’t accept debit cards there is an employee in the office who can set up payment with debit from

Quote of the Week . . . “A room without books is like a body without a soul.” ― Marcus Tullius Cicero

The opposite of “truly Canadian”

The other day as I was going through my Facebook newsfeed a video began playing, if you scroll by it the image rolls on without the sound so you can choose to watch or not. The video was from Ontario of an individual who jumped off of a boat and onto a moose, which many said was awesome and truly Canadian. The moose is bounding Kelly Running through the water, attempting Observer Staff to get away from the people in the boat. As the boat creeps up on the moose, the moose stops, unable to go faster as the boat approaches. An individual then jumps off of the boat onto the moose. The moose is submerged up to its shoulders and lets out a cry of helplessness. The moose begins to buck and gets the person off stressing the animal. Some people who shared the video were touting it as a truly Canadian act, riding a moose. However, the majority of shares were regarding how it was wrong. I just felt bad for the moose. People went on to argue that it was cool and that people ride wild animals all the time likening it to a rodeo. However, from the discussions I’ve had with rough stock contractors, the animals are bred and readied for the show. In the early days of rodeo, years and years ago, it may have been the case that wild horses were used, but not anymore. The animals are prepared to go into the corral, are introduced to the chute, and properly prepared for the event because if they’re not, then maybe they won’t perform. Rodeo animals are considered high performance athletes in their field. When the guy jumps onto the moose, she throws her head back and begins struggling not only against the water she’s trying to get across but is now – while feeling threatened – is stressed about a rider sitting on top of her. The moose was already in a vulnerable state, attempting to get away from a boat, when she is threatened by another animal – a person. A conservation officer in fact told CBC that it is the “ultimate form of harassment,” and with laws against harassing wildlife the people were found and charged. The other problem I had with people saying that it was perfectly fine or awesome was that they used a hunting argument, which made no sense. People were agreeing that because we hunt and kill moose, that this is no big deal and that she’d be shot during the hunting season anyway. To me this only proved that people can be idiots. Feeding your family is one thing. Hunting is a sport and people who hunt are not going out there to create fear in the animal. In fact hunters say that if an animal was afraid that the meat tastes worse. A hunter’s goal is to get a clean kill; the animal is never scared and is not put through any excess pain. If a hunter misses their target they immediately track the animal to right their missed shot. The final argument I’m going to bring up was that riding the moose is the same thing as breaking a wild horse. Wild horses were caught and broke because they needed them to do work. A necessity on the frontier to survive, but this was not for survival, the moose was simply a story to tell his buddies. The moose would have felt as though its life was at stake and become extremely stressed and frightened in that moment. So, it’s my opinion that riding the moose was not a truly Canadian thing to do. Canadians are supposed to be kind and respectful, so the Canadian thing to do would have been to respect wildlife.

Ah…summer. A season yearned for by so many children. A seeming vastness of time that allows for endless possibilities. No longer bound by the same daily schedule there are opportunities for play, running free, and making up the day as they go along. The idea of summer is paired with thoughts of long, lazy days; and relaxed, unhurried schedules. It has inspired all kinds of songs and is drawn Shelley Luedtke upon as a backdrop for storydriven movies. Song lyrics such as: “Summertime, and the livin’ is easy”, or “Put your car on cruise and lay back cause this is summertime” say it all, while movies like “The Way, Way Back” or “Stand By Me” elevate summer to a driving factor in a story. Of course often these are romanticized versions of what we want summer to be. The reality is that summer is no diﬀerent than any other time of the year. People still get sick, crime still happens, work continues, relationships break up, in other words, life moves on just as it always has. Still, the description of summer as portrayed in the movies and sung about in music is compelling. It holds up the notions of summer being magical; as a time for adventure and discovery, as carefree and limitless. Since many organizations take a break for the summer months it results in fewer meetings, less events, and more unscheduled time. We still have the same responsibilities needing our attention but we may be a bit more likely to give ourselves permission to take time for things that we too often put oﬀ. The summer solstice tells us that summer begins on a particular day. It may be noted on our calendars but not necessarily experienced any differently. Children will tell you that summer begins when school is out. Adults might say it is when they can head out on a holiday, or when the weather allows us to fully enjoy the outdoors. So which one is correct? When does summer truly begin?

Summertime, more than a season

Kelly Running Editor Reporter/Photographer Office: 306-453-2525 Fax: 306-453-2938 observer@sasktel.net

The truth is…summer is what we make it. The ideas of long stretches of lazy days and carefree months of fewer responsibilities are just that. Ideas. Summer, regardless of when we perceive it begins, is much like any other time of the year. The week is made up of seven days, and each of those days made up of the same 24-hour clock as the previous day. Time is no different on the 8th of July than it was on the 8th of January, but our perception of that time and our approach to it seems to be different. Depending upon the nature of our job, summer may mean revving up to a whole new gear since we are at our busiest. Or because it’s the season of weddings, reunions, parties, backyard BBQs and family gatherings, people may find themselves notching up the social obligations a bit. Because that’s what summer is--not just a cyclical description of the division of the year...but of life. Summer is not any slower than any other time of the year but we seem to approach it differently and perhaps that is the lesson we can learn from it. In just eight weeks we will once again ramp up the activity and find ourselves running in various directions as we treat fall as the launch pad to another season of our lives. But it doesn’t need to be that way. Since summer is a time we give ourselves permission to dip our toes in the lake, take a nap in a lawn chair, or enjoy extended talks around a fire, let’s take an extra moment as we do so and fully appreciate how that all feels so that we will be more willing to extend it beyond the flipping of the page on the calendar. Summer is more than a season--it is an approach to life. It is a way of living that puts family, friends and get-togethers first; and permits us to dream, explore and figure out how to extract the fullness of every sun-drenched moment. So let’s take it all in and fully enjoy the feelings that summer brings to the surface. The feelings that remind us we weren’t made to be creatures running the treadmill, but people treading on ground that makes life unhurried and limitless. That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

Urban farming a growing trend

Communities - Please, chicken out of urban farming!

Kelly Running

Observer Staff

This April, Calgary city council voted down a proposed year-long pilot project in which egg-laying hens would be allowed in 20 of the city’s neighbourhoods, effectively chickening out of making urban farming legal within city limits. I love my adopted city of three decades, but had this proposal been approved, I would say my move back to beautiful Saskatchewan happened in the nick of time. Aside from my personal ick factor regarding (EEEKKK!!!) chickens, allowing any type of bird or animal to be “farmed” within city or town limits is a bad idea, not only for the creatures in question, but also for the *ahem* farmers and their neighbours. There are, of course, compelling arguments in favour of raising one’s own eggs-easy availability, the freshness factor, control over additives in feed, and possible savings. However, these are largely offset by reality. That is, most urban chicken farmers will lose interest and/or prove to be hopelessly inept when it comes to a long-term committment to responsible animal husbandry within city limits or anywhere else, for that matter. As most people in this province know, farming (even on the smallest scale) is not for the flighty (I know, ban pun!) or fainthearted. Even raising a few backyard chickens is a big job. Chickens are actually social animals, so it would be considered cruel to own just one hen and expect it to become a happy, contented egg producer on your own personal Planet Organic. A weekend away, or an even longer period out of town, would require the owner to make arrangements for the birds’ care, which my research has found is more considerable than one might think. In Montreal (a city that okayed backyard chickens), the local Humane Society experienced a glut of unwanted birds once the novelty had worn off for many of the city’s failed farmers. And on a purely selfish note, I shudder to think of the prospect of a walk to work which would involve an encounter with stray chickens. Or even worse, if stray chickens encountered stray dogs or stray cats. I can see the headline now: ‘Carnage in Carlyle’... On a serious note, a big concern in Calgary was that backyard hens would attract rodents, raccoons, skunks and coyotes to yards-especially to those where young children reside. Avian flu is also a valid concern. As recently as February of this year, a backyard flock in Chilliwack, B.C. suffered an outbreak. Eighty-one birds died from the virus and 13 were destroyed. (I digress, but what kind of a “backyard flock” was this?). The U.S. Centres for Disease Control states that backyard poultry also pose a significant risk of salmonella. A report in the Calgary Herald cites the CDC, saying: “Live poultry may have salmonella germs in droppings and on their bodies...even when they appear healthy and clean. The germs can get on cages, coops, feed and water dishes, hay, plants, and soil in the area where the birds live and roam...the germs can be found on the hands, shoes, and clothing of those who handle the birds or work or play where they live and roam.” Large-scale factory farming is far from ideal, and it is a horrible situation for any animal. However, we are lucky enough to live in a province where fresh eggs can be easily purchased from area farmers who run ethical operations, while producing superior agricultural products-including eggs. Instead of holding hen parties in cities and towns, support your local farmers. The chickens (and I!) will thank you.

Lynne Bell

When you think, “urban farming,” what comes to mind? For many it’s a chicken farm in the backyard, but there’s more to it. Whether raising chickens or growing a garden people in urban centres are increasingly participating in urban farming and is growing in popularity for many. There are backyard chickens and community gardens springing up in urban centres and they are growing in popularity. Urban farming is a positive way to add greenery to cities, reduce harmful runoff, and increase shade. Garden plots are a way for city dwellers or even for town folk to connect with the earth. Oftentimes these gardens are found on rooftops and are created on patios or decks of apartments. They are a place of relaxation or they can be a way to provide jobs to people in need of work. For example New York City has seen businesses sprout up out of High Line Park where urban farming has become the norm. In addition to these gardens there are the backyard chicken coops. People may keep multiple hens or only a couple, often it depends on the size of the backyard. These egg-laying hens produce food, which a Calgary man once argued was a Charter right to raise their own food. For many who live in urban settings backyard farming becomes a way of getting back to nature, while also being able to control their food source knowing precisely where their food is coming from. Cities in Canada including Victoria, Vancouver, and Guelph all have legislation allowing for legal backyard hens, yet places like Calgary continue to view the act as illegal. For many people the idea of having backyard hens is in fact a way to remove themselves from commercial egg-producing facilities arguing that their flocks are actually living better lives. These backyard hens arguably have more sunlight and room to move about, to be normal chickens. These chickens in fact are said to produce more healthy omega-3 fats, with more vitamin E, D, and A, more beta carotene, and less saturated fat and cholesterol. Additionally salmonella is often attributed to intensive cage systems where flocks suffer from poor hygiene. Eggs in these systems sit for a longer time and therefore bacteria may grow. The backyard farmer knows when the eggs were laid and how quickly they were able to put them in the refrigerator though reducing the amount of bacteria found in them. The waste the chickens produce is also a perfect natural fertilizer for that backyard garden being groomed as well. Obviously raising poultry and being able to dedicate enough time to a backyard farm isn’t for everyone, but for those who would like to raise a few chickens in town and are willing to put in the time and effort then they should be allowed to.

A day at the races Kelly Running Observer Staff

Engines revved, dirt flew, and riders soared over the weekend at the first round of the Southeast Corner Racing Circuit (SCRC) in Carlyle. Held on Saturday, June 27, motocross riders were in town with practice runs starting at 9 a.m., followed by the competitive heats beginning at 10:30 a.m. The SCRC is a circuit focused on southeastern Saskatchewan drawing racers from both Saskatchewan and Manitoba to compete. Races are held in Estevan, Oxbow, Weyburn, and Carlyle throughout the summer and fall. Competitors at the event included young, novice riders to veteran riders as well as a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class. For many, winning was the goal, but for the majority who participated, a chance to learn and improve their skills was enjoyed amongst their motocross family in the first race of the circuitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season. The next action for the SCRC will see races in Estevan on July 4, Oxbow on July 11 and 12, back to Estevan on Aug. 22, in Carlyle on Sept. 19, and will wrap up on Oct. 3 in Weyburn. The Carlyle course was established 10 years ago by friends and family of Bowen Rekken after his passing. Bowen had loved the sport and his friends wanted to do something in his memory. Approaching his parents Kelly and Susan about the idea the track soon became a reality with dedication to the project by those involved.

The fisherman’s tale “The fish was this big!” Is usually the fisherman’s tale told, but at Moose Creek Regional Park the tales were verified as participants in the Alameda Community Rink’s 19th Annual Fishing Derby brought in their catches to be weighed and measured on Saturday, June 27. The day began at 6 a.m. with a pancake breakfast hosted by the Prairie Pride Credit Union. During this time people ate and then happily launched their boats awaiting the 8 a.m. start. A grand total of 392 people registered (336 adults and 56 youth) to participate in the fishing derby, with 179 being served the pancake breakfast. The top fish this year weighed in at 14.72 lbs and measured 39 inches leaving Keegan Wahl this year’s fishing champion winning $2,000. In second place was a 12.58 lbs catch by Steven Valentine who took home $1,000. Ken Lang caught an 11.86 lbs fish which won him $500. Also taking home a $500 prize was the fourth place catch by Chase McNabb of 11.78 lbs. Fifth place to eighth each took home $250 prizes: Jordan Lang with an 11.16 lbs catch, Cory Purvis with a 10.8 lbs fish, Sheldon Coder with a catch weighing in at 8.98 lbs, and finally Elmer Molner bringing in an 8.84 lbs fish. The winners this year in the youth category were Braden Arndtt with a 6.62 lbs fish earning him $200. Second place received $100 and went to Nate Robertson with a 4.94 lbs fish. Austin Hewitt took third with a 4.82 lbs fish and won $75. Fourth to sixth place each took home $50 which included Jesse Debruyne with a 4.5 lbs fish, Jaslyn McNabb with a 4.16 lbs fish, and Xavier Gervais with a 4.1 lbs catch. Following the action on the water a BBQ beef supper was held in Alameda at the rink, which is the facility that benefits from the eﬀorts of the volunteers for the fishing derby. One of the organizers, Darryl Davis, explained, “We are hoping to start oﬀ a new project for the rink. We are hoping to get a grant to help us replace the hockey boards in our arena as well as cement the artificial ice lined in the cement, if we don’t receive the grant we hope the money raised will still go to fixing up the hockey boards in the rink.” Davis was very happy with how the event turned out. “I thought we had a great day, with all the things going on this past weekend we still managed a record amount of fisherman registered, we had 336 adults and 56 youth registered,” Davis said. “I want to thank all the people that came out and fished as well as the people that donated prizes, cash donations, and lent a hand during the day as well as leading up to it.” “I want to thank all our volunteers and fish derby members for all their hard work, and a special thanks to Darin McNabb, our president of the Rec Board in Alameda. His hard work, commitment, organizational skills, and passion for fishing is a big reason why our derby seems to get bigger and better every year.”

world of the news via a news conference Monday morning. Minutes after the presser was adjourned, Chamblin was handed the fateful news. Durant, the Face of the Franchise, had suffered a ruptured left Achilles tendon and his 2015 season was over. It had lasted less than 30 minutes. Chamblin even asked if they could reassemble the media but by then it was too late. Rider Insider And with that, the By: Rod Pedersen entire Rider Nation was sent reeling.

They’d stated publicly that they’d hoped The 2015 Saskatchewan Roughriders’ regular Glenn wouldn’t have to be used, except sparingly, season began in the worst possible fashion Saturday night as quarterback Darian Durant left the lid- at all this year. And the 36-year old quarterback lifting game just before halftime on a cart. Durant’s was fine with that. Now, it’s Kevin Glenn’s team.

to get in shape and then a bug bites us all at one time. There’s no amount of prep you can do for that.” I’m not kidding. It was literally like a tornado blasted that locker room. The postgame quotes were grief-stricken. “It sucks. For real,” groaned defensive end Alex Hall. “It just really sucks. We didn’t execute. A lot of fundamental mistakes. Winnipeg did a good job capitalizing on our mistakes and doing what they’re supposed to do.” Sophomore receiver/returner Ryan Smith was equally stunned, moments after admirably filling in for injured veteran Weston Dressler. He was quick to look to the immediate future with Kevin Glenn at the helm. “Anytime you see a player like (Durant) go out, I kind of lost my breath,” Smith admitted on CKRM’s postgame show. “You gotta bounce back. We rallied around K.G. and he’s been a great player for a long time. We’re excited to play for and with him.” When Durant went down last year, the whole world could see the team sagged over its final nine games. However the Riders’ braintrust felt they adequately made steps in the oﬀ-season to ensure that wouldn’t happen again. Time will tell. But Durant can’t tackle, nor can Glenn. And the Riders’ shoddy defensive play was as much, or more, of a culprit in Week 1 than any injury to their starting quarterback. “It was poor tackling,” Chamblin admitted. “We’re a better tackling team, or we will be, than we were tonight. The oﬀense had their trials but they had their successes too. Special teams had some troubles. It was 30-26 but we still had a chance. If we can correct those things, we’ll be back in the swing of it.” Again, the damage is still being assessed. And it’s major. In fact it’s the most devastating set of circumstances to happen to this franchise since the 2009 Grey Cup and the infamous 13th Man incident. Who in the world saw this coming? A natural disaster indeed.

Rules of the road: medical scooters are pedestrians Kelly Running Observer Staff

Rules of the road are critically important and there’s one aspect which is typically overlooked, medical scooters. Since they’re motorized, people see them as a vehicle when in reality they should be treated like a pedestrian. Paula Ealey, Acquired Brain Injury Coordinator with Sun Country Health Region, was out on Friday, June 26, to Moose Mountain Lodge where she presented to local medical scooter users with the help of Bernie Opp, Product Consultant with

Medichair. “The program developed in Weyburn during an Acquired Brain Injury support group,” Ealey explained. “There were members in the group using medical scooters and because of the contradictory information they were being told decided to look at the rules.” “We went through the handbook and also got a lot of information from B.C. With this information members of the group then made a video to be used and the video, which I’m showing today, is also up on the Sun Country website under videos.” Ealey then introduced Opp who had brought a

couple of different models of scooters and a medical chair to be used in the presentation. Ultimately knowledge is power and knowing the rules of the road is important: medical scooters are pedestrians and as such must use sidewalks whenever possible, utilize pedestrian crosswalks checking for traffic before proceeding, make ‘eye contact’ with motorists or pedestrians before crossing their path to confirm their intentions, and obey all traffic control mediums.

Preventing the spread of invasive aquatic species Kelly Running Observer Staff

Saskatchewan has numerous fresh water bodies strewn throughout the land, which provides habitats to numerous aquatic species. There is a possible threat to aquatic ecosystems, however, in the form of zebra and quagga mussels. Native to the Baltic Sea these mussels were brought to North America by the bilge water of ships. An intrusive species in Canada, however, the mussels quickly become infestations. David Pattyson, coordinator with the Upper Souris Watershed Association, spoke to the importance of monitoring for mussels. “Mussel infestations can change the entire ecosystem of a lake in ways we wouldn’t want to see,” Pattyson explained. “They infest fish spawning habitats and can alter the ecosystem irrevocably.” “Recently a known infestation has come to Lake Winnipeg and through several reservoirs across the United States. They’ve been in the Great Lakes for about 20 years now and they spend millions of dollars on cleaning mussels from equipment.” Pattyson went on to say that a mussel the size of the tip of his finger can filter up to one litre of water per day. They feed on small aquatic organisms, which fish also need to survive and therefore challenge native species for the food supply and spawning habitat. Within the Upper Souris Watershed there are substrate samplers set up at Nickle, Raﬀerty, Boundary, White Bear, Kenosee Lake, and two at Alameda Dam. “We’re working with anglers and recreational boat users to demonstrate and prevent infestations of any aquatic invasive species,” he said. “Properly cleaning your equipment, draining and drying it is important. Anything

that enters the water can possibly become infested, even just a canoe, so we’re monitoring our area. If we are diligent in educating people and watching for the first signs of mussels we can hopefully prevent the issue.” Pattyson added that they are looking for volunteers who might be willing to check the substrate samplers in the communities, record, and report the findings to the watershed. “At their smallest stage they’re almost invisible to the naked eye,” Pattyson explained. “They’re most likely to hitch a ride on a boat and a lot of times mussel infestations can first be seen at the boat launch docks.” “Any equipment that has been in the water and comes out with a sandpaper feel is a good indicator or if anything that looks like a mussel is attached then that’s probably what it is. The other species we have in Saskatchewan that have a hard shell don’t attach. If people suspect these infestations call the Saskatchewan Environment’s tip line because a Conservation Oﬃcer won’t be upset if they have to come out for a false call.” Currently Saskatchewan is free of zebra and quagga mussels, but they are easily transported. “There was a boat caught going into an Alberta lake, which was positive for mussels, and it had come from Ontario,” Pattyson stated.

“They can survive in standing water beyond 30 days, so it’s important to properly clean your equipment.” Pattyson and co-workers were out during the Alameda Fishing Derby where they educated boaters on ways to stop aquatic invasive species. “It’s been really good because we’ve informed about 100 boats today and prior to that we had educated about 130 boaters,” he explained. So, what is proper care for ensuring aquatic species are not transferred from one body of water to another? They recommend cleaning all of the equipment including the watercraft, trailer, and all related items. Remove any visible plants, animals, and mud prior to leaving the boat launch area. Inspect drain holes, transducers, motors, propellers, as well as the trailer and vehicle. Then wash, scrub and rinse with hot tap water, but ensure you’re not near storm drains, ditches, or waterways. Prior to leaving the boat launch area drain water from the motor, live wells, bilge, ballast tanks, etc… and then flush this with hot tap water. Leave the plugs out during transportation and storage. Finally dry your watercraft and any equipment or gear used. Leave all compartments open to dry.

If there are no sidewalks or if unable to access the sidewalk because there are no curb cuts then, as with pedestrians, you should travel against the flow of traďŹ&#x192;c close to the curb. This allows you to see the vehicle coming, but read the driver and if they are paying attention or not. Additionally, because they are quick moving pedestrians it is important to respect all other foot traďŹ&#x192;c, which includes staying on the right side of the sidewalk, not going too quickly, and allow others to pass. Ealey brought a variety of free reflective gear for those interested as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scooters are lower down to the ground and drivers may have a tough time seeing you; people on medical scooters often blend into their surroundings too, so wearing reflective or bright clothing it important,â&#x20AC;? Ealey stated. Other safety tips for scooter users include safe manoeuvring of curbs and making sure to take uneven terrain or curbs straight on, if angled it is possible to tip. Ealey also explained the importance of carrying a cell phone as well stating that if an emergency should come up or if their scooterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s battery were to lose charge then they have a means of contacting someone. Although considered a pedestrian, there is one instance where they are ruled under the Motor Vehicle Act. The operator of the scooter cannot consume alcohol, if caught drinking and operating the unit oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licence can be suspended as it would be with a motor vehicle. Ealey was in Carlyle as part of an informational process which included presenting in six communities which saw a variety of responses to the program.

*254<*7.3, +&72*78 ` Ag in Motion brings innovation to the field ALL FARMERS KNOW DECISIONS are made in the field. Imagine a place, an event, created to empower farmers by providing the information they need to make these important decisions. A place where they can see the latest equipment in action, in the field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; operating in the same environment itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made for. A place where farmers can see multiple varieties of live crop plots growing side by side in the field. This summer, such a place will exist. Introducing Ag in Motion, Western Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest and only outdoor farm expo. Debuting July 21 to 23, on a half-section (320 acres) near Saskatoon, SK, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only show that provides an outdoor venue for progressive farmers in Western Canada that want to see and experience the latest agricultural innovation, all in one place. Ag in Motion will feature field equipment demonstrations, live crop plots and interactive exhibits such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;ride and drivesâ&#x20AC;? and smaller equipment demos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ag in Motion will offer farmers a unique opportunity to compare crop plots and machinery, in action, and ultimately help them make decisions about the best products for their operations,â&#x20AC;? says Show Director Rob Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nowhere else in Western Canada where farmers can actually see multiple pieces of farm equipment in operation, take a test drive, or compare different crop varieties all in one place.â&#x20AC;? What does an outdoor show look like? The Ag in Motion team brings together the expertise of seasoned farm show organizers.

The Expo is operated by Glacier FarmMedia, who owns Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outdoor Farm Show, the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest outdoor farm show held annually near Woodstock, Ontario. Also part of Glacier FarmMedia are Western Producer, Manitoba Co-operator, Grainews, Country Guide, Canadian Cattlemen, Alberta Farmer Express and AgDealer. The team knows whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involved in delivering an outdoor show, and the potential such a venue provides. Now in its 22nd year, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outdoor Farm Show delivers 750 exhibitors and 42,000 visitors each year. Most attendees come to see the newest technologies in agriculture. Its success is based on the fact that active farmers attend to do business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; make decisions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the show is dedicated solely to agricultural products, equipment and services.

For all your printing and paper needs

Ag in Motion is applying the same model and will become a must-see event by showcasing cutting-edge agricultural advancements that empower Canadian farmers to help meet their goals in producing high quality, safe food in a competitive marketplace. To learn more about how an outdoor show looks and operates, view the videos on the Ag in Motion website, www.aginmotion.ca. Live Demos and Interactive Exhibits The number of Ag in Motion exhibitors is growing steadily each week and includes seed and crop protection companies, field equipment and livestock handling manufacturers, financial services, nutrition, baling products, tires, fertilizers and much more.

RCMP Musical Ride coming to Wawota July 28 Kelly Running Observer Staff

The iconic Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride will be returning this year to Wawota, 25-years after the community hosted its first musical ride. Gates to the event will open at 4 p.m. with entertainment including food booths, vendors from the Red Barn, music, bouncy castles, face painting and more between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. at which time the musical ride will begin. Following the ride there will be musical entertainment by Tom Richards, beer gardens open, and supper. The evening will also feature a meet and greet – with pictures – with the horses and riders at the end of the show. Meredith Swanson with Wawota’s Business Enhancement Group, which is hosting the event, told The Observer, “We had the Musical Ride in Wawota back in 1990. I was involved in that one, so I sent in another application, hoping, but never really thinking we’d get them to come again. We lucked out, because they only go to certain provinces each year and in 2015, it’s only in Saskatchewan and the Maritimes.”

A spectacular sight, the RCMP Musical Ride, will be in Wawota on Tuesday, July 28, performing at 7 p.m. Wawota has activities and entertainment planned for all ages between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. along with a food court and beer gardens. Purchase an advance ticket by July 15 or buy them at the gate the day of.

“We provided them with a really good experience the last time and we’d like to repeat that. We tried to look after them well. We barbequed a whole pig and they said then that they had never been looked after that well, ever.” The ride will be held at the natural amphitheatre just on the northern outskirts of town. Swanson told The Observer, “It’s a beautiful site and an excellent setting for the Musical Ride, because you can sit up and look down on the riders’ formations, or you can sit down low and see things at horse-level. The highlight from my point of view is the setting. It’s not a rodeo ground, which is the type of place it’s usually held.” Proceeds from the event will be put towards Wawota’s Heritage Park. The first oﬃcial RCMP Musical Ride was held in 1887 in Regina. Since then it has become a quintessentially Canadian event which is renowned around the world. Today the sight of the RCMP members in their Red Serge atop their horses heralds back to the beginning days as the North-West Mounted Police. A history and legacy the Musical Ride has become a must-see event in Canada. Keeping with this tradition the Musical Ride has a full troop, which includes 32 riders and horses, as well as a member in charge. As a paramilitary group the RCMP execute intricate figures and complete cavalry drills precisely while following strict choreography to music. Described on the RCMP’s website, the ride demands the “utmost control, timing and coordination, these movements are formed by individual horses and riders, in two’s, four’s, and eight’s at a trot and at the canter. Months of training, practice and many kilometres/miles around the riding school make horse and rider one.” Tickets are available in advance as well as at the door. Advance tickets can be purchased by Wednesday, July 15, by calling 306-739-2898, or by stopping by the Kenosee Inn, Kenosee MiniMart, King’s Department Store in Carlyle, in Wawota at Grammie’s Gift Emporium and 2nd Street Eats as well as the Wawota Town Oﬃce, or The World-Spectator in Moosomin. Advanced tickets are $40 for a family pass which includes two adults and two children under

17-years. Adults are $12, youth aged 6-years-old to 17-years are $8 each, and children 5-years and under are free. Tickets will also be available at the gate with adult tickets costing $15, youth ages 6—17 will be $10, and children 5-years and under are free.

Farmers have limited voice By Calvin Daniels It is increasingly obvious that much in our world moving forward will not be imposed by government regulation, but rather by the philosophies put forward by big business. An example of the power business holds came clearly into focus recently after so much attention was focused on the symbolism of the Confederate flag in the United States in the wake of the massacre in Charleston, which left nine African-Americans dead in their church. The shooter, 21-year-old Dylann Roof, has confessed to the murders, and has been quoted as wanting to start a race war. A widely circulated photo of the shooter holding a gun and a Confederate flag brought the debate of the flag’s racist toots to the forefront, becoming quickly a political football. Some politicians have called for the flag’s removal, at least from public buildings, other defending the flag just as adamantly. Meanwhile big business has taken action on the issue. Walmart, Amazon, eBay and Sears all announced bans on the sale of Confederate flag merchandise. “The announcements are the latest indication that the flag, a symbol of the slave-holding South, has become toxic in the aftermath of a shooting last week at a historic African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina. Gov. Nikki Haley announced in a Monday afternoon news conference that she supports removing the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds,” reported www. cnn.com The business decision in this case is a powerful one of social awareness in regards to what the flag means for a large portion of their customers. Not all decisions are popular of course, even those which fall on the correct side of contentious debates. In January 2012, Starbucks joined Microsoft

and Nike in announcing support of a Washington state bill to legalize same-sex marriage, which ultimately passed. There was a backlash from anti-gay groups against Starbucks, but the company has remained steadfast. “If you feel respectfully that you can get a higher return [than] the 38% you got last year, it’s a free country,” said Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, during the annual shareholders meeting on March 21. “You could sell your shares at Starbucks and buy shares in other companies,” detailed www. money.cnn.com So how does this relate to farming? Well as business flexes its muscles in terms of determining which direction the broader society will go, some of their decisions will impact how we farm in the future. It’s already happening actually. The Western Producer website (www.producer. com) recently published a story on a company pushing dairy producers in a particular direction. “Saputo, a Montreal based dairy processor, says it will refuse milk from farms that fail to treat cows humanely,” began the story. “The new policy is expected to be implemented across Saputo’s operations in Canada, the United States, Australia and Argentina. “In a June 1 news release, the company announced it would not accept milk from farms that dock tails or that fail to administer pain control for dehorning and disbudding of calves.” That may seem like a reasonable decision, although the farm practices they want adjusted have been long-standing ones, and while pain control may be reasonable it does add costs to the farm, costs the company, nor are consumers likely to rush to cover through his payments for product. The concern for farmers is how far business may go in mandating farm practices. The possibilities can be both positive in terms of influence, and could just as easily be detrimental. Consider a large

It’s time once again to wish everyone who will be celebrating a birthday and/or an anniversary – A very “Happy Birthday” and/or “Happy Anniversary” – may you have many more. What grand weather we are having – very very warm and hot – we have had thunder showers in the area, and again here at the Cowan farm just a trace, enough to fill my rainwater bucket once again. My poor garden sure needs a rain but Mother Nature is not being very kind or co-operative. Oh well I’ll just keep hoping that a nice rain will eventually fall, not that I want a real downpour (see never satisfied). It is nice to see that some of the water runs and flooded areas are beginning to dry up. Maybe guys will be able to get to them soon and work them up, let’s hope. The Alida Pool is definitely a very popular place these past few days – Enjoy the water fun, but remember to play safely near the water. Once again folks please remember to give me a call (306-443-2496) with your news; I do appreciate your help. Until next time – Think positive – Keep smiling – Drive safely and Take care.

Go play in the dirt

There’s something about sunshine and the soft, warm weather we’ve enjoyed in recent weeks that makes us all feel a bit happier and more generous. Colourful spring Àowers add to the mix. For a little while at this time of the year, we remember what it is to be young and almost carefree. It might not all be your runaway imagination. Scientists are beginning to understand there’s a process at work. Research presented a few years ago to the 110th General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology in San Diego by Dorothy Matthews, Associate Professor of biology at The Sage Colleges in New York, suggests that exposure to friendly soil bacteria could improve mood by boosting the immune system just as effectively as antidepressant drugs. The bacteria might even make you more amenable to learning new things. In a subsequent interview, Ms. Matthews says that as we have become more urbanized, we have had less contact with an organism that may actually be very useful. “If you think about it, when we look at our evolutionary history, we spent a lot of time as huntergatherers, or even more recently in agriculture, where we had lots of contact with the soil. It’s only been the last 100 years or so that we’ve become more urbanized and are eating our foods in a different way,” she said. That might sound like a strange comment in farming country, where contact with the soil is taken for granted. Realistically, however, the huge air-conditioned, covered farming equipment used today on the farm does reduce even the farmer’s contact with soil. Farmers used to say that eating a bit of dirt was good for everyone, but even they don’t eat dirt blowing in their faces like their forefathers did. Not only that, but more than half of the population of Sun Country Health Region lives in an urban area, not on a farm. Many of us in our towns and cities do not plant a garden. Our vegetables come from the grocery store already washed. If we rewash them, it’s to eliminate the residual chemicals, not bits of dirt. In fact, we probably wouldn’t buy vegetables that still showed signs of dirt. Some of us don’t even plant Àowers; we buy alreadyplanted baskets for our deck. So even here in farm country, our regular contact with dirt is very limited indeed. All of which goes to say that, if the science is right, we should change this picture. We have a limited time each year when it’s easy to be outdoors for many hours at a time. I think we need to ¿nd a way to go play in the dirt for our physical and mental well-being.

Wawota News Submitted by Myrna Olson

Phil and Carol Reddekop enjoyed a trip to Ireland from May 30th to June 11th. It really is as green as the pictures show. They toured several castles, some were in ruins and some in their original state of beauty. They also viewed Blarney Castle but didn’t make it to the top to kiss the Blarney Stone. (the line up was too long). They took a 4 day train-bus tour to many other interesting places. The Cliﬀs of Moher were amazingly beautiful. They spent a day and a night in Belfast where they toured the Titanic museum which was one of the highlights of their trip! Eric and Myrna Sorenson and Glenn and Deb Sorenson of Kenosee Lake travelled to Toronto for 4 days where they viewed 3 Blue Jay ball games. The Jays won all 3 games! Suzanne Eisler accompanied her sister Angel McKenzie of Kenosee Lake to Vernon, BC. They stayed there a week visiting with their sister, Paulette Podvin. Brent and Lynne Ketcheson travelled to Moose Jaw for the June 20th wedding for Lynne’s daughter, Laura Lausen. Laura married Anthony Melle at the Temple Gardens. Many family members and friends from Alberta and

Saskatchewan attended the ceremony. The six sons of Cyril and Yvonne MacKay were raised in Regina and spent the summers at their cottage at Kenosee Lake. As they grew up and left home they became busy with jobs and families. Just recently they made plans to meet at the family cottage as it had been around 45 years since they had all been together. Thus it was that Dean MacKay of Whitehorse,YT, Ross MacKay from Klemptville, ON, Lee MacKay of Ottawa,ON, Kevin MacKay from Regina, Darrell MacKay of Ottawa and Murray MacKay of Weyburn all travelled to Kenosee Lake for a long awaited get-together! These MacKay boys are my cousins and I have fond memories of them as youngsters when I stayed with them when I attended Teacher’s College in Regina in 1959-1960 . So many books, so little time..... Just read a most interesting non-fiction book, “I MAG INE- How Creativity Works”. Did you know that the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company is third in innovative company in the world after Apple and Google?. Some of their ideas included centralized bathrooms, no brainstorming and lots of blue decor (blue doubles your creativity). In 1925 Dick Drew was a sandpaper salesman for 3M and noticed the problem when they tried to use two paints on a vehicle and the adhesive was too strong. He finally created masking tape and with the invention of cellophane he created scotch tape. Two years later scotch tape was the most popular tape in the world. Stephen Fry developed an extremely weak glue and wondered what good would that be? This weak glue was the fore runner of post-it notes. Who of us doesn’t appreciative the innovations of 3M?

DRILLING REPORT

Friday, July 3, 2015

Redvers Wranglers wrap-up with year-end Submitted by Heidi Magotiaux The Redvers Wranglers 4-H Light Horse Club wrapped up another busy year on Saturday, June 20th. We started our day off with Western Pleasure and Trail classes and then showed off our drill ride to the tune of “Juicy Wiggle”. The Wranglers have been practicing this drill all season and despite some of the chaotic practices they pulled it off on Achievement Day! The kids spent the rest of the afternoon, despite getting rained and hailed on twice, showing off some of the skills they have learned while playing relay type games. Some of the parents and grandparents even got in on the action doing the egg and spoon race, dress up, ride and run, rescue race, sack race, ball/net race and the whipped cream race. Once everyone was cleaned up and horses put away we moved on to the awards portion of our day. Top test mark ($15 gift card from Cowtown) Intermediate – Becky Aulie Junior – Layne Kyle Cloverbud – (tie) Reese Kyle & Chloe Dumaine Top Record Book mark ($15 gift card from Advantage Coop) Intermediate – Becky Aulie Junior – Layne Kyle Cloverbud – Reese Kyle Aggregate ($50 gift card from Cowtown) – Layne Kyle Club Spirit – ($50 gift card from Cowtown) – Andrea Ulrich Most Improved – ($50 gift card from Cowtown) – Becky Aulie Years of commitment prizes were also handed out: 1 yr – Chloe Dumaine 2 yrs – Mitchell Houston 3 yrs – Reese Kyle 6 yrs – Layne Kyle, Andrea Ulrich, Julia Ulrich, Becky Aulie 9 yrs – Kennedy Magotiaux We finished off with a potluck wiener roast and relaxed around the fire.

Sandy Maxwell Doris Sandra Maxwell (MacDonald) passed away December 29th 2014 at 10:30 pm in St. Paul’s Hospital, Saskatoon. Sandy fought a valiant Àght with cancer but lost the battle quietly with friends and family around her. Born February 18th, 1949 to Dot and Ken MacDonald of Carlyle Sk. Sandra is survived by her husband Glenn, son Jayson and siblings, Donna (Lorne), Dennis (Connie), and Donald (Kathy). Sandra, as her family called her, grew up in Carlyle attended school and generally made lasting friends with whoever crossed her path. She attended university in Regina taking training to be a teacher. The kids of the world were lucky to have such a caring intelligent person guiding them. She Àrst taught in Uranium City where she met and married Glenn Maxwell. We were blessed with our son Jayson. Her sister Donna and brothers Dennis and Donald were so dear to Sandra. Lorne, Connie, Kathy, Noreen and Judy became part of the MacDonald family so were loved by this marvelous person Sandy. Many nieces, nephews and cousins on Glenn’s side and the Macdonald side knew Sandy as someone to rely on for a birthday hello or just “how are you”? Somewhere in our travels we meet someone who makes a difference in our lives, I was so fortunate to marry one. The heartbreak of losing her is only tempered by the memory of the laugher, crying and hugs she brought. She often quoted her dad that told her,” we are built to close to the river”, so crying came easy. She loved Wilbur, Ra, Tinkerbelle and pretty much any animal she met, even a lamb she loved named Samson. This woman was so special and the big family gathering up yonder will have a few more laughs and hugs because she will be there. Good-bye my love and make a place for us all. In lieu of Áowers, donations may be made in Sandy’s name to the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency, the SPCA or a charity of the donor’s choice. Interment will be at the Dalesboro Cemetary at 1:00 pm on Saturday July 4, 2015. A time of friendship and sharing will be held from 2:00 to 4:00 pm at the Carlyle Memorial Hall. All family and friends are welcome to attend one or both of these gatherings to honor Sandra. Casual dress for the day is recommended.

Lillian Mary Myers LILLIAN MARY MYERS was born June 22, 1912 on the family farm southeast of Wawota, the third child of George and Ethel Jacklin. She attended school in Wawota. As was often the case back then, she left school to work before marrying Ralph Myers on May 15, 1936. They were blessed with three children – Barrie, Bernice, and Kenneth. They farmed until moving into town in 1976. Lillian lived independently in her home until a week before her 100th birthday. Lillian passed away with gentle grace on June 4, 2015 at Wawota Deer View Lodge with family by her side. She left us only 18 days shy of her 103 birthday, and shall be dearly missed. She will be forever remembered for her beautiful Àower gardens, home-cooked meals, and her unstoppable energy. She delighted in visits with family and friends, and was a very gracious hostess for special gatherings in her home. She was a lifetime member of the Mountney Ladies Club of Wawota. She was a hard worker, taking pride in her home and Àowers. Her family meant the world to her. Lillian is predeceased by her beloved husband Ralph, her siblings Irene (James) McKay, John (Lorena) Jacklin, and Jean (Rollie) Metcalfe; her sister-in-law Mabel (Frank) Bird, and brothers-in-law Stanley (Thelma) Myers and Earl (Jean) Myers, as well as by other treasured extended family members near and abroad. She is survived by her son Barrie (Marlene) Myers, daughter Bernice (Jim) Duke, son Kenneth (Monique) Myers; grandchildren Kevin (Shelly) Myers, Kim (Chuck) Getz, Darryl Duke, Debra (Dale) McDonald, Curtis (Shelley) Duke, Tyler Duke, Steven (¿ancé Melissa Woods) Myers, Lisa Myers; great-grandchildren Brendan (Sasha) Myers, Kerry (Brendan) Sulz, Dustin Myers, Kaylee Myers, Taya Myers; great-greatgrandchildren Bella and Scarlet Rose Myers; plus numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and dear friends. Donations can be made in her memory towards the Wawota United Church or Wawota Deer View Lodge. THANK YOU The family of Lillian Myers wishes to take this opportunity to give special thanks to so many wonderful friends, relatives, and community members for all the love, care and support you have provided to Lil and us all during this time leading up to her passing. To the Meals On Wheels and Home Care Programs, thank you for providing Lil the ability to live such a great quality of life in her own home in her later years. To Shirley Corkish for her close friendship with mom and being our extra eyes and hands whenever mom needed it, we so appreciate all you have done on all our behalf. To the compassionate and caring staff at Deer View Lodge, thank you so very much for helping mom ease into her transition and giving mom a new place to feel welcome and at home. To the Mountney Ladies Club of Wawota, Lil so enjoyed her involvement and the many enduring friendships and memories shared with you all. The luncheon provided at her service was delicious, as always, and the extra food given to the family for our supper later that evening was deeply appreciated. Thank you to Roy Bortolotto for the wonderful service, and to Nicki Ford for her assistance in organizing the choir and music for us, it was beautiful. Thank you to Carscadden’s Funeral Home in Moosomin for helping us through the planning of our ¿nal goodbyes, you made this so much easier for us. We deeply appreciate all the beautiful Àoral tributes, donations made in mom’s memory, the cards of condolence, food items and visits made to show support and lighten our heavy hearts. Lillian was a blessing to us all, lived a long full life, and shall be deeply missed.

Happy Birthday North America By Linda Wegner This past week marks a special time in the lives of North Americans: on July 1 we Canucks celebrate our 148th birthday. Canada Day will be considerably less sparkly in our part of the country, though, as traditional fireworks plus sweltering temperatures can rapidly equal raging wildfires. Happy birthday to us, anyway! Three days later, on July 4, our national neighbours along with personal friends celebrate their big day. They’re definitely our “older brother” having been birthed in 1776. Happy 239th y’all! Although I admit I’m not familiar with US election details, up here we’re gearing up for quite

the fight. Given the volume of caustic comments being spoken, printed and posted, it’s clear that this summer’s skies will be blue in more than one way. The Writ hasn’t yet been dropped and Canada’s fall election campaign isn’t oﬃcially underway, but there’s already plenty of controversy swirling around. I’m not about to repeat or reinforce any of those comments but I do have a couple of thoughts of my own on the matter. First, wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could disagree without being disagreeable? Or nasty. Yes, I’m definitely a senior who misses some of the old fashioned ways of doing things but the thought of a bit more civility and kindness is definitely

appealing. Second, it would be blessedly interesting to see what would happen in both our countries if we made God sovereign in each of our personal lives. We’d still have diﬀerences of opinions but we’d also experience His promise of divine intervention and wisdom. John Kennedy said this “Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men”; Jesus Christ said this, “Occupy until I come. If you love Me, you will obey My commands.” “In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:6)

VISIT JODY & RAY AT THE VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSES RED BARN MARKET July 12th & August 2nd

The family of George Rolheiser lived in Saratov, Russia, when the Lord said to George, “Go from your country to a land I will show you. I will make of you a great nation and I will bless you.” So George went with his wife and family to Saskatchewan, Canada, to the prairie hills near the border. The Lord said, “To your oﬀspring I will give this land.” And they built a church at St Donatus. And some moved east and some west; some north and some south, and the parish grew (based on Genesis 12). It’s not the “Little Brown Church in the Dell”, but to some of us it is “more dear” as we revisit our childhood memories. This year we celebrated 100 years of faith in St Donatus, just south of the Cactus Lake oil fields, near the Alberta / Saskatchewan border. “No spot is so dear to my childhood as the old stone church on the hill”. St Donatus, pictured holding lightning bolts, has intervened in our lives. There was a terrible storm with tornado force winds on my Aunt’s farm. She prayed to St Donatus as the winds moved the house on its foundations. When it passed, the storm had destroyed trees in its path as it moved toward the house. It turned at the house, sparing it, and wreaked its destruction as it continued elsewhere. Prayer brings results. There was a Eucharistic Congress at Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, some years back, and a dark storm cloud was approaching the outdoor site. Cardinal Leger turned to the gathering and prayed briefly in English, “Let us pray for a good temperature”. The cloud split in two and passed by on both sides leaving the gathering in peace. The 100th Anniversary was not a

time to celebrate nostalgia, but to celebrate our faith roots, said Father Ron Rolheiser during his reflection on the occasion. We nurture ourselves from these roots, he said. Faith is “caught” in church and at the family table. Faith is inhaled in the community’s actions and values, he continued. The center of our faith has held in St Donatus. Ron quoted William Butler Yeats who spoke about his loss of faith. Yeats said the center of his faith collapsed. But there is something about the prairie geography that shapes us and gives us strength. “Show me your landscape and I’ll tell you who you are,” said Jose Ortega. The prairies have given us a unique capacity to carry loneliness, said Ron. As well, the prairies gave us a sense of humility. “You know you’re not the center of the universe,” he quipped. And there is another gift the prairies have given us which Ron called “Saskatchewan tough”. We have a resiliency that tells us “there is always a morning after”. Part of the landscape of St Donatus is the history of the Saint the church is named after. In 173 A.D. Donatus’ legion was miraculously saved by a divine thunderstorm. Legend credited St Donatus’ prayer, who thanked God for the deliverance. Donatus was later martyred by the emperor. A later miracle On June 30, 1652, describes a Jesuit priest, Fr. Heerde, saying mass when lightning struck the church and lit the altar and the priest on fire. He invoked the aid of Saint Donatus and was miraculously restored unharmed. “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever” (1 Chronicles 16:34).
