Bicycle safety made fun

Cst. Beardmore stopped by the CES Bicycle Rodeo to talk about bicycle safety on Thursday, May 28, with grades 1-3. Observer Staff

OPEN MON.-SAT. • 9 A.M.-6 P.M.

With beautiful weather here and spring in full swing it’s the perfect time of year to learn about bicycle safety, which is exactly what the Carlyle Elementary School had planned on Thursday, May 28, with their annual Bicycle Rodeo. Since a bicycle is considered a vehicle there are certain rules and safe practices which must be adhered to. CES’ Bicycle Rodeo focused on this in a fun way as students brought their bikes and helmets to school for the session. Students in grades 1-3 were addressed at the beginning of the exercise by Cst. Beardmore who went over the diﬀerent safety checks that should be done prior to riding a bike. This included a proper fitting helmet, checking the chain, brakes, handlebars, seat, pedals, reflectors and tires of the bike, as well as to be wearing shoes with laces done up and no baggy clothing. Cst. Beardmore told the kids that clothing can get caught in the chain and that it isn’t fun to have that happen. It’s also important to have a bicycle that fits the rider. The cyclist should be

able to stand flatfooted over the bike with at least one inch of clearance from the top of the frame of the bike. There were a total of five stations for youth to move through focused on agility, balance, safety, and the rules of the road. Youth were taught how to ride down the right side of the street – one metre from the curb. This distance allows cyclists to be clearly visible to motorists, while able to avoid holes, debris, or other hazards in the roadway. They may move from the curb to avoid these road hazards, when turning left, or if they’re passing slower cyclists or parked cars. When approaching parked cars they will pull out approximately one metre from them to avoid slamming into an opening door or if the vehicle suddenly pulls away from the curb. If there are a line of parked cars cyclists will stay one metre from them and will not swerve closer to the curb in between the vehicles ensuring the cyclist is visible and making predictable moves.

From Page 1 - Bicycle Rodeo THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: GEMINI, CANCER AND LEO.

Week of June 7 to 13, 2015 ARIES You make an important decision after careful consideration. You may not always be the most patient of people, but you must follow all the necessary steps in order to realize a long-term project.

TAURUS Your plans may change at the last minute. Your friends could cancel a rather strange activity, but you’ll actually enjoy the unexpected peace and relaxation.

The students were also taught the proper hand signals for cycling to let other vehicles know whether they are turning right or left, or if they’re stopping. Though they were taught the diﬀerent hand signals, they were also made aware that a left hand turn can be dangerous as they’re approaching oncoming vehicles. For this reason the youth were taught to stop, dismount from their bike, and walk across at a crosswalk as a pedestrian. The students also practiced agility and balance as they weaved through pylons at one station, performed a figure-eight at another station, and had to ride attempting to stay on a straight line. For those that didn’t have bicycles the students walked or ran through the motions still learning the actions and rules of the road. If a student had a bicycle, but did not have a helmet they walked their bicycle through the various stations as per safety regulations. But for those with bicycles it was a fun way to get out and enjoy some exercise while learning the do’s and don’ts of cycling.

GEMINI You organize an event that brings together lots of people. Thanks to you, this housewarming or birthday party is a huge success.

At the CES Bicycle Rodeo held on Thursday, May 28, students in grades 1-3 learned safety and procedures for riding their bikes.

CANCER You have access to information regarding a training course that could lead to a fairly spectacular promotion at work.

LEO If you have young children, you may be asking yourself about activities that will keep them busy during the summer holidays. Take the time to choose a day camp that suits them.

VIRGO You’re fairly successful, at work or elsewhere, because you take the time to negotiate and ask questions when concluding an agreement.

LIBRA Whatever the project, you absolutely have to take the time to settle all the little details and organize all the preparations that are necessary for realizing a brilliant achievement.

SCORPIO There are other, more proud Zodiac signs, but it’s important for you to be respected by others. You manage to distinguish yourself and may even make others admire you.

SAGITTARIUS A birth could be announced in the family. If you’re planning on moving, you’ll need to revamp the décor so it’s more in line with your image.

CAPRICORN You speak your mind, and you may also be the recipient of some important secrets simply because you’re a very discreet and trustworthy person.

Weather for the week . . .

AQUARIUS Your comings and goings may take slightly longer this week. You may have to take on the role of taxi driver more than once. Arm yourself with a good map or a GPS, and note down the directions before you leave.

PISCES If you need to make some major purchases, take the time to think about them for more than a day prior to the transaction. You may even be able to negotiate a better price.

The Wawota District Lions Club discussed the future of their annual quad rally-as a result of three written complaints to provincial conservation authorities-at the club’s meeting on Wednesday, May 27, with the club resolving to: “Try to work with the government to find a resolution to the situation,” says Lions Club President, Doug Bourgon. “Within the next two weeks, the Watershed Authority will come out and inspect the area, and the Lions Club will go from there.” The controversy came about as a result of three letters of complaint, according to Lion Joel Carpenter. “Two unsigned, and one signed.” Prior to the May 27 meeting, a provincial conservation officer met with members of the Lions executive and informed them of the complaints. The Lions were not charged, but say the concerns stem from Section 36-1 (c) of Saskatchewan’s Environmental Management and Protection Act (2002), which states: “Without a valid permit authorizing the activity, no person shall, directly or indirectly: (c) remove vegetation from the bed, bank or boundary of any river, stream, lake, creek, marsh or other watercourse or water body.” The area that representatives from the Watershed Authority will inspect is a section of the Pipestone Creek and the portion of land above the waterway that belongs to the Crown. The section of land this part of the creek runs through is owned by four landowners, one of whom is Lions Club member, Doug Carpenter. “The majority of the riders respect the land, and those of us who are landowners care for and respect the environment, too,” says Carpenter. “We wouldn’t allow this on our property, otherwise. At the same time, we are trying to meet the challenge of keeping a small community going.” Fellow Lion Tim Lincoln agrees. “A lot of us are farmers or come from a farming background. We’re concerned about the environment and the health of the environment, too.” This year’s rally-the club’s tenth- raised $18,058. The annual fundraiser averages a profit of $15,000 per year; and the Lions use these funds to support community projects within Wawota, as well as assisting area individuals in need, usually with medical expenses. Other local community organizations partner with the Lions on the day of the rally-making and selling meals and setting up and manning a quadwashing station-to raise funds for their groups. “I’m very disappointed,” said Lions Club member, Joel Carpenter. “It’s a small community fundraiser that brings an average of $15,000 into Wawota every year. And it’s not local money; it’s money that comes from places from both inside and outside the province, that directly benefits our area. That’s the thing that is so frustrating; the money that has come into the community over the past 10 years is ‘outside’ money.” “It’s not money that comes from our community. It’s money that directly benefits our town, and it all comes from elsewhere,” says Lincoln. “The rally also brings people to Wawota and they get a chance to see our town and the area and what we have to offer.” A letter from the Town of Wawota concurs with this assessment. The letter was read at the meeting, stating the town’s official support of the rally, as well as a pledge to contact the MLA for Cannington, Hon. Dan D’Autremont, to lobby in favour of the event. The Wawota Wildlife Federation has also placed an ad in Wawota’s ‘News in a Minute’, stating: “The Wawota Wildlife Federation wish to notify the public that they had nothing to do with the writing of the letters that shut down the Wawota Lions’ Annual Quad Derby.” Wawota resident Donovan Pryce has started an online petition, “Allow the Wawota Annual Quad Rally!” on Change.org, which at press time has gathered 1,564 signatures. “If the rally is cancelled, at the end of the day, it isn’t the Wawota Lions that will suffer,” says Joel Carpenter. “It’s the community, because that’s an extra $15,000 a year that won’t be around to be spent within the community. There have been people from all over Saskatchewan and Manitoba that have come and enjoyed this great day and we appreciate the support.”

Kenosee’s Red Market Barn a perennial favourite with locals, tourists Lynne Bell Observer Staff

The Red Market Barn remains a perennial favourite of both locals and tourists. While owners Brenda and Harold Johnston aim to constantly improve the 101-year-old institution, history buﬀ Brenda says the Kenosee-area attraction’s appeal is timeless. “It’s really all about the people. That’s what makes the barn such a special place,” says Brenda. “It’s about meeting up with people that have come home for the summer, and people that are visiting the area for the first time. It’s a great gathering place, and the lakes, the casino, and all of the communities that surround us all create that special atmosphere.” The Johnstons have lived and worked in communities throughout southeast Saskatchewan, and since they bought the barn, the couple are determined to improve the visitors’ experience, while upholding the barn’s history. “I really respect what the Raynards have built,” says Brenda of the barn’s original owners, John and Marie Raynard. “We want to give back to the local communities who have been so good to us. Every community sees it as ‘their market’, and we really want to uphold and enhance the Red Barn’s tradition.” As a vendor in the barn’s newly-refurbished ‘The Loft’, Brenda has over 20 years’ experience as a market seller. “I make moccassins, mitts, and I also do wheat weaving,” she says. “And this year, I’m introducing polar fleece welly socks, to wear inside rubber boots. Not only are they oil rig-tested, Cheryl Winkler -who shares ‘The Loft’ space with me and sells her wildlife artwork- has also tested them at her animal rescue facility.” “As a vendor, I can hopefully enhance our vendors’ experience, and make the Red Market Barn a place they want to return to. This year, all 70 of our vendor spots are filled, and we received over 200 applicants, who wanted to come here to sell.” “We want our visitors to come and find their

“With nature, you learn to expect the unexpected. We’ve widened our reach this year with our vendors, because last year, some of them were from the same area and were rained out, so our stock suffered. This year, I hope we’ve solved that.” Brenda says that in the two years she and her husband have owned the barn, they have welcomed visitors from Asia, the UK, Europe, South Africa, and the U.S. “I have a spinning wheel in ‘The Loft’ and an old picture of a woman working at a spinning wheel. It’s not worth any money, but it has great sentimental value to me,” says Brenda. “A lady from Asia really wanted to buy it, but I couldn’t part with it. She was fascinated with prairie culture, and a lot

what he called ‘a farm dance.’” “We’ve worked really hard to make it a place where kids can have fun, too,” she says. “We’ve put in a sandbox, and we try to do fun things for them like glitter tattoos and face painting.” “And of course, we have food vendors, so people can spend the day here. One of our vendors was Trevor Gelsinger of White City, who served barbequed pulled pork and pizza. We had him last year and he was a hit, so we invited him again this year.” The Johnstons also welcome weddings and other gatherings to the Red Barn. “This year, we’ve got three weddings booked,” says Brenda. “People want that authentic character,

favourites, but we also want to change it up, to keep it evolving, so there is something diﬀerent to see each week, instead of the same old thing week after week.” “My vendors are my best advertisers.” Brenda says that fresh produce is an in-demand item, and she has altered her approach this year, in an eﬀort to keep a steady supply in stock for the barn’s visitors. “Market veggies are really popular,” she says.

of our visitors are.” “A customer from South Africa bought loads of Christmas decorations I’d made with wheatweaving to take home. They’re packaged up and of course, they’really light, so they make a great Saskatchewan souvenir, especially if you have a long flight back home.” “We’ve built a new stage, and we rotate three live bands over the summer. One little boy from Ireland loved it. He said he was so excited to be at

and we found some old stained glass when we were renovating. Harold re-installed it and it looks gorgeous.” “There are furnaces in the barn now, so we’re getting a lot of inquiries,” says Brenda. “It’s a great venue, because there’s lots of parking and people can also park their campers here. We’ve hosted family reunions and even a first-aid course. It’s a great spot for all types of gatherings. However, we don’t do catering.” “A lot of couples just come for their wedding pictures. We don’t charge for that, but we do ask that they call in advance.” “We have also invited people from care homes to come up and spend time with us at the barn. There is room for their buses, and we made sure everybody got in.” “Whether it’s about what we sell, what people can eat, what they can do, or who they meet here at the Red Market Barn, we really just want to make it a place where everybody who wants to can have a relaxing, enjoyable day with us.” The Red Market Barn is located 2 km north of Kenosee Lake. Markets are held June 14 and June 28. In July and August, markets are held every Sunday. The final market of the season is Sunday, September 6. Markets hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For three days the students at Manor School, however, including parents and teachers, took a break from texting, social media, video gaming, and other activities associated with technology in the school’s first Forester’s Tech Timeout Academic Challenge. Though the Timeout lasted for three days, May 27 – 29, students were prepared on Monday, May 25, for the event with a video from Gladmar who participated in the program last year. “The goal of this social experiment is not to demonize technology, but rather to help students take a step back and gain some perspective on their media habits, allowing them to create personal goals and balance in their future media use,” Kathyrn Hunt explained. “This social experiment also allowed skills to resurface such as; planning ahead, face-to-face interaction, attending to

activities and schoolwork that had been neglected or forgotten. Participation in the challenge is optional, rather than mandatory. It’s about the experience, positive or negative.” Open for students from Kindergarten to grade 12 to participate, the school had 34 out of 80 students participate. This included many from younger grades giving up their iPads, iPods, and cell phones as well as a few from the older grades as well. Additionally about half the staﬀ at the school participated and it didn’t stop there as parents also took to the challenge. With 34 participants making it through, six prize winners were drawn including students Rayanne Poirier, Toree Knockaert, Dathan Beaudet, Ross Brimner, Kara Brimner, and parent, Val Cuddington. Everyone was thanked for their participation in the Tech Timeout, which was diﬃcult for some while others barely noticed, busy with other activities.

The treasures of history: Wawota Museum bolstering interest in the past Kelly Running Observer Staff

Learning about our history and embracing what it means to be a rural Saskatchewan resident is part of why it’s important to support and encourage local museums, which document this past. The Wawota and District Museum hosted their annual Spring Tea and Bake Sale on Friday, May 29, to do just that, promote interest in their museum. With tea, dainties, and a grocery hamper raﬄe held, the Spring Tea and Bake Sale was a success. The museum summer season is beginning soon with the Wawota and District Museum to be open on Tuesdays to Fridays from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the months of July and August. The museum is also available to be opened upon request. Shirley Corkish, the museum board’s secreterytreasurer, explained that the museum is an important aspect of rural Saskatchewan’s heritage and that it can be a fun way to learn about the past by visiting the museum. The museum hosts a kids’ carnival each year and also takes school youth on tours through the building. Additionally a community member, Joan Wilson, takes artifacts each week to the nursing home where the items are discussed and memories are shared. During the Wawota Heritage Days - held on the long weekend of August - the museum will be open on Saturday, Aug. 1, and is also organizing an Art and Craft Display at the Wawota Town Hall between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. for the event. Another draw to the museum includes a High Tea held every Friday in July and August. Each afternoon the museum will serve dainties and tea in fancy cups, though formal dress is optional, the afternoon is really intended to welcome everyone and create interest in the museum. “There’s a lot of local people who haven’t been in here before,” Corkish said as she explained, as

there are many unique items to be discovered from the past. “The museum is friendly to adults and kids both.” One of the beloved features of the museum in the community is the ever changing front window display. The display is switched at least once a month, but changes do come more frequently on occasion. Corkish is particularly looking forward to the coming of the RCMP Musical Ride to Wawota this year on Tuesday, July 28. “We have a lot of RCMP artifacts, so we will be doing a front display window for that,” Corkish said. A new feature at the museum includes a fun way to see museums of southeastern Saskatchewan. The Parkland Regional Museum Network has developed a passport which can be stamped at Broadview, Esterhazy, Kaposvar, Kipling, Langenburg, Moosomin, Rocanville, Spy Hill, Wawota, and Whitewood. If someone collects them all then they are to present their passport to the museum and they will be awarded a small prize from the museum, but will also receive a larger prize from the Network. The passport needs to be filled between 2015 and 2017, but is an exciting way to experience the history of Saskatchewan. The Wawota and District Museum is also currently looking for two new museum board members for their com-

mittee, which includes Ken Colborn (chair), Garry Dickson (vice-chair), Shirley Corkish (secretarytreasurer), Pat Clements, Bob Birnie, Doris Reynolds, Cecile Cudmore, and Bernie Williamson.

Quote of the Week . . . “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” ― Oscar Wilde

Mathematics declining in Canadian schools

Although the Canadian standard of education, according to a BBC article from May 13 of this year, is exceptional sitting at 10th in the world there is a change it is considering regarding the way it teaches mathematics. According to a C.D. Howe Institute report Canadian stuKelly Running dents’ math performance has Observer Staff been dwindling on the international front between 2003 and 2012. This has therefore been tied to the discoverybased learning method, which is currently taught in schools. The discovery-based method is defined as “an inquiry-based, constructivist learning theory that takes place in problem solving situations… Students interact with the world by manipulating objects, wrestling with questions and controversies, or performing experiments,” according to learning-theories.com. This type of learning is supposed to help students remember concepts better, but when it comes to mathematics there is more to it than simply understanding concepts. For example I would assume multiplication is taught as this number added to itself this many times, so students are told that 2*3 is sorted out as 2+2+2. Now I’m not a teacher so I might be wrong, this is just my impression of what it is. So, when a student continues in math they’re now applying this to larger numbers and equations, while memorizing the times table isn’t stressed like it was when I was being taught math. However, kids can easily understand the concepts of multiplication and therefore the constants of it could just be memorized instead of breaking things down so much, I would assume. According to associate professor at the University of Winnipeg, Anna Stokke, teachers should focus 80 percent of their math classes on direct learning like memorizing the multiplication table and doing long division. The human brain can be quicker than a calculator if we groom it. She told CBC that when students use discovery-learning in math, so are made to draw pictures or use other discovery-learning techniques it actually complicates the process. I’ve heard grade nine students complaining about being terrible at math, but they’re smart kids. Their complaint was essentially how complicated math was, which they then explained to me how they were being taught. Doing what I considered easy multiplication, the kids hesitated, unsure. I want to say I was in grade four when I had the nine by nine multiplication table memorized. So, when 7*8 comes up I know it’s 56 because it just always is. I know that it’s because there are seven groups of eight items, that concept wasn’t lost on me even though I was taught through direct learning. Stokke went on to tell CBC that direct learning is more successful because of its repetitiveness changing working memory into long-term memory: “An expert in mathematics stores a wealth of information in long-term memory, acquired through hours of experience and practice; when a new problem is encountered, knowledge and techniques are recalled from long-term memory to solve it.” So, even though Canada has a ranking of number 10 in the world according to global school rankings done by BBC earlier this year, there is still room for improvement.

The sound that stirs the soul

Located in the basement of the three-story imposing brick building we called Central School was the music classroom. Our teacher would have us line up and we would follow her down several sets of stairs for music class. Sometimes we listened to a piece of music and answered questions about the instruments we heard, sometimes we sang from collections of songbooks, we learned to (sort of) play recorders, we tried out ukeleles, and were thrilled when it was percussion day and we got to play the bongo drums. The classroom was a delight. Despite being in the basement the room was bright, comfortable and inviting. Big, colourful charts with music symbols and simple note reading techniques adorned the walls, while ample shelving contained rows of enticing instruments like triangles, cymbals and colourful maracas and castanets. Although I wouldn’t have understood it in these terms as a child, I look back now and realize the value the school placed on the music program. This was a public school. We had large classrooms, a library full of books, a big gymnasium and fully stocked equipment room, access to every art supply imaginable and…a music room. The program didn’t take away from anything else happening in the school, but rather enhanced all that was going on. Tuesday mornings the entire school would gather for an assembly. It was a time for presentations, announcements, birthdays and building community within the school. And there was music. Always music. In addition to O Canada, we sang songs the music teacher had chosen for the day. She would play the piano and the whole school would sing together. Music played over the sound system as we entered the gym for the assembly, and music accompanied our exit as well. As we got older we became part of the school choir. The director travelled to all the schools in the city because there was a choir in each one. Students so inclined could choose to audition for the AllSchool choir which rehearsed twice a week outside of school hours. We learned a great deal about music and choral singing in those choirs and our director ensured we had ample opportunities to take our music to audiences. We sang at festivals, community events, nursing homes and even took an occasional road

trip to present a concert. In other words, it wasn’t just a program the school oﬀered; it was a program the school supported…completely. Not just as Shelley Luedtke a budget item, but by placing singers, musicians and choirs front and centre and encouraging the opportunities that came from taking our music outside the classroom walls. Putting our particular musical preferences aside, there are general observations that have been made regarding our response to music. Listening to music activates brain regions associated with movement, planning, attention and memory. We process music diﬀerently than any other sound or noise and there is an intellectual and emotional component that accompanies the act of listening to music. An otherwise ho-hum movie scene can become epic when the right soundtrack is added. People who listen to music while exercising tend to lengthen their workouts. Music can be used as a therapy tool in hospitals, cancer centres, alcohol and drug recovery programs, and use of music therapy techniques to treat mental and neurological disorders is on the rise. The fact that music is used everywhere from prenatal programs to palliative care units indicates the role it plays throughout the whole of our lives--from beginning to end--cradle to grave--and beyond, because just think about being in the presence of heavenly choirs of angels. Not everyone enjoys or participates in music to the same degree but we all respond to it in some manner. Consider how we feel when we hear the rousing strains of a national anthem, the carols of Christmas, or the way a great song fills the vehicle as you travel down the highway on a beautiful summer day. Music isn’t meant to be extracurricular to our lives; it is something to be experienced in the core of who we are. So make your way to a piano, dig your oboe out of the closet, join a choir, or play the music of a favourite artist and let the stirring sound wash over you. Music isn’t something we need to fight for just for the sake of our children--it is something we need to ensure is part of our lives for the sake of our soul. That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

Beyond The Sims Lynne Bell Observer Staff

This week, my mission is to (somehow!) come up with an argument in defense of violent video games. Clearly, I am not part of the targeted demographic for games. Add to that the fact that my very limited exposure to video games consists of having a Sims (like playing Barbies, but on a computer screen, as far as I could tell...) fan in my home over a decade ago, this does present a challenge. Thanks to some research kindly supplied by my dear editor, I can offer some surprising statistics that don’t endorse video games, but do debunk some commonly-held beliefs about their effect on youth. Significantly, most of this research comes from the U.S. With America’s relaxed gun laws and longstanding (and at times, violent) video game culture, these stats-however much I personally want to doubt and dislike them-are hard to refute. Naturally, a link between violent video games and violent behavior is difficult to prove or disprove, but the stats are interesting, so here goes: Oddly enough, between 1995 and 2008, the U.S. arrest rate for juvenile murders fell almost 72 percent, and the overall arrest rate for all juvenile crimes fell by almost 50 percent during the same period of time; all while video games sales in the U.S. during this period quadrupled. In 2005, the USA’s annual juvenile murder rate was 27.9 murders per million residents, compared to a rate of 3.1 murders (by juveniles) per million residents in Japan; while video games sales were $5.20 per capita in the States compared to $47 per capita in Japan. A U.S. Secret Service review in 2004 found that only 1/8 of perpetrators responsible for school attacks and school shootings showed evidence of interest in violent video games. On the contrary, the review stated that these individuals showed more interest in violent books, movies and in their own violent writings. Many studies state that rather than being a malign influence on youth, violent video games are instead a healthy outlet for aggression that may otherwise emerge as real-world violence. One even goes as far as saying that some violent video games give young players a sense of perceived control that helps teens regulate their emotions during play, and even reduces stressors that might cause them to otherwise act out in real time with real people. In an effort to add some “real” research to this column, I checked out two violent video game seriesCall of Duty and Grand Theft Auto. Call of Duty replicates warfare and actual battles. Arguments could be made for players experiencing the extreme stress, danger, trauma and heartbreak (you lose comrades) of actual battle. As for Grand Theft Auto, well, I got nuthin’. When the protagonists are a young street hustler, a retired bank robber and-wait for it-a terrifying psychopath, I’m clearly in the wrong game. However, I know some perfectly sane, good and nonviolent people who play the game and show no signs of anti-social and/or violent behavior. Clearly, they can easily recognize the difference between fantasy and reality. Perhaps some troubled, potentially violent individuals are drawn to violent video games. However, I think I am generationally-challenged when it comes to the actual effect of violent video games on youth. In the past, the introduction of any new media was greeted with apphrension and alarm by some people, and much to my surprise, statistics show that this may also be the case for some video games, too.

Editor’s Note . . . The views expressed in “Seeing things diﬀerently” are for discussion purposes and are not necessarily the views of the writers.

Violent video games: keep out of the hands of youth Kelly Running Observer Staff

“Oh, it’s not real.” Developing minds can’t separate In the past few years video games have taken real violence from fantasy violence, which leads to a huge leap. When I was young the game Grand them mimicking the game. Theft Auto on Playstation One was out. It was an I personally have played the game “Watch aerial view of a city, people were little dots, and the Dogs.” In it you’re a vigilante, but it is much like vehicles were just different coloured rectangles. Grand Theft Auto in the sense that you’re shooting Yes the idea of the game was the same steal a car, people (the game doesn’t let you shoot unless it’s complete a task, and shoot others – just don’t get an enemy though) and stealing cars. I personally caught by the cops. liked the driving the best out of the game, there Today Grand Theft Auto has completely were speed challenges where you had to race evolved. Over the years, through the Playstation through the city from the starting line to the finish Two and into the Playstation Three platform, line. Grand Theft Auto has continually become more I found that if I played the game and then realistic. During the winter my roommate was left my house to drive somewhere I wanted to playing Grand Theft Auto V. The view follows go fast, wanted to zip in and out of traffic; I had in a first person format. On the ground you see to consciously make sure I was driving properly around your player. The cars are improved, as because in a video game if you die, you simply are the weapons, but with those graphic card respawn and no one is injured. In real life it’s not improvements come the more realistic violence that easy, in fact it’s messy and very dangerous. including blood splatter. For youth still developing and not fully The city is full of people and as you walk your understanding the difference between how to act character down the street you can choose to beat in the real world and how to keep video games people up with your fists, shoot them with guns, separate, this is something that they wouldn’t or run them down in a vehicle – which you steal consciously be able to recognize, which is why by pulling someone out of the driver’s seat and there are maturity ratings on games in the first shooting them. place. Kids today have become immune to violence because of these realistic video games. Yes I grew up with them, but not to the same graphic nature. I also grew up watching television shows like Power Rangers, but their violence was to protect people from bad guys, they were super heroes, they weren’t just walking down the street beating the crap out of people. Now I use Grand Theft Auto as an example of violent video games, but am not saying it is the only one with graphics of this nature. However, researching the topic I discovered there was a 2008 study titled, Grand Theft Childhood, which reported that 60 percent of middle school boys who played at least one M-rated (Mature) video game were more likely to hit or beat someone up compared to 39 percent of middle school boys who did not play violent video games. In these types of video games, if youth are given access to them, the player is rewarded for violence thus reinforcing this behaviour. Youth are still developing their sense of right and wrong, their moral compasses are forming, and to play violent video games during these formative stages in life affect their perception of the world. Thus violence actually becomes a form of problem solving, while it can also become associated with happiness and pleasure as they’re rewarded in the game for it. They become desensitized An animal’s eyes have the power to violence and it becomes to speak a great language.

Four years ago a few parents were looking for an activity for their kids to take part in during the spring months. It used to be that there was just baseball, but now kids have options including soccer. They can play both or choose to play one or the other. Last year Moose Mountain Soccer was able to include its first ever U12 team and it doesn’t look like this age group will disappear anytime soon with youth now moving through the ranks up from U6 and sticking with the sport, thereby growing the club as they become older players.

Our numbers are very large for the Under 8 age range therefore we split into two teams this year to allow more manageable group sizes and more playing time for the players.” “As well our Under 6 teams are going strong with four diﬀerent teams that practice and play games against each other and our Under 4 have two teams that have a lot of fun learning about the sport.” Although the day was cool, those attending were bundled up watching from the sidelines as the kids playing kept warm running up and down the field. The day began at 9 a.m. and games lasted until 2 p.m., with numerous games taking place at the same time. “We are very fortunate to have the large soccer field that we do have, which allows all of our age groups to play on the same field,” Miller explained. Canadian Energy Services ran the concession, donating their time and food, which allowed the Moose Mountain Soccer Club to focus on keeping the day on track.

Sports Wrap-up with Bruce Penton

- Toews the leader of Hawks ‘dynasty’ -

Maybe it’s time for the hockey world to stop its idolization of Sidney Crosby and install Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Black Hawks on that pedestal. Crosby, the Pittsburgh flash whose individual flair, two scoring titles and ‘Golden goal’ have made him hockey’s god in Canada, has but one Stanley Cup to his credit. Toews, who came into the league two years later than Sid the Kid, has fewer individual achievements than Crosby but is the epitome of skill and leadership. In fact, it has been the Toews-led Blackhawks who are on the brink of becoming the NHL’s newest dynasty. No one was using the ‘d’ word when the Hawks won their first Stanley Cup since 1961 back in 2010. A few eyebrows were raised when Toews, Patrick Kane, Duncan Keith et al won their second Cup in a four-year span in 2013. Now, with Chicago battling with Tampa Bay Lightning in this spring’s Stanley Cup final, it’s time to consider the Hawks in the same light as other dynastic teams — the 1980s Oilers and Islanders or the Canadiens of the 1950s. In this age of 30 teams and parity created by salary caps, it’s miraculous that a team could possibly win three Cups in five years. But the Hawks have ridden Toews’ leadership to prove anything’s possible. The Winnipegger’s international record is outstanding — world junior titles, Olympic gold, for example — and while he may not score the most goals nor lead the team in points, one only has to watch the Hawks in action to see Toews pulling the team along, and the rest of the squad following. Take Game 7 of the Western Conference final, for instance. The underdog Hawks, playing in enemy Anaheim Ducks territory, essentially took control of things with a quick 2-0 lead on a pair of goals from Toews, and coasted to a 5-3 win. “(Toews) played great. Johnny’s a big-time player,” Anaheim captain Ryan Getzlaf told the Toronto Star. Chicago coach Joel Quenneville could hardly get past the word amazing when describing Toews and his big-game performance. “He’s an amazing person. He’s an amazing hockey player,” said Quenneville to The Star. “The bigger the stage, the bigger the setup, he just seems to excel in big moments, big stages. Shows he’s as good a leader as there is in any sport.” Steven Stamkos, Tyler Johnson, Victor

Hedman and Ben Bishop of the Lightning may have something to say about this ‘Blackhawks –dynasty’ talk, but there’s no denying that when the game’s top players are listed, Jonathan Toews is near, or at, the top. • Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “At the Geneva Open tennis tournament, a player named Joao Sousa from Portugal defeated another player named Joao Souza, from Brazil. Everything went well, except for the play-by-play guy tearing out his own hair during the second set.” Said Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Where will they play the rematch? Walla Walla, Wash.? • Dwight Perry again: “Meadowlark Lemon’s ex-wife is suing the Harlem Globetrotters legend for $250,000 in unpaid child support, the Connecticut Post reported. Apparently the sticking point is method of payment. She wants a cheque. He wants to douse her with a water bucket full of $100 bills.” • Headline in the Hamilton (Ont.) Spectator, on the latest sports-memorabilia auction news: “Roger Bannister’s shoes expected to go fast.” • Brad Rock of Salt Lake City’s Deseret News, after the WNBA’s New York Liberty named Isiah Thomas — who once cost the Knicks an $11.6 million sexual-harassment judgment — as the team’s president and part-owner: “Note to Liberty: Why not just get all the bad news over at once and hire Donald Sterling, too?” • Headline at SportsPickle.com: “FIFA fires

executive who failed to bribe U.S. and Swiss oﬃcials.” • Comedy writer Jerry Perisho, on the most amazing part about the FIFA scandal: “Do you know how hard it is to take $150 million in bribes without using your hands?” • Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “First openly gay NFL player Michael Sam has signed with CFL’s Montreal Alouettes. Are we going to follow this poor guy his whole life? Media report, 2041: ‘Michael Sam dines at Denny’s’.” • Brad Dickson again: “There was an embarrassing incident at the Indianapolis 500. One driver hired a pit crew from AAA, and after he pulled in for a tire change nobody showed up for two hours.” • And to kick of the CFL season, we’ll give RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com one more cheap shot at Manitoba’s favourite football team: “The CFL voted in April to add 20 yards to the point after touchdowns. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers were quick to respond: ‘Touchdowns?’” • Todd Dewey of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, after Gokul Venkatachalam and Vanya Shivahankar were declared spelling bee co-champions: “Luckily, the kids didn’t have to spell each other’s last names.” • Blogger Ryan Duca. “Breaking news. Swiss Police confirm that, when arrested, all seven FIFA oﬃcials threw themselves on the ground and pretended to be injured.”

Rider Insider

Two quotes. That’s all you need. Just two simple quotes. As we embark on a brand new football season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and finally put 2014 in the past, there are only two people we need to hear from. The first comes from quarterback Darian Durant who was leading the Riders to a nearly franchise-best 8-2 start last year when he suﬀered a season-ending elbow injury in early September which sent the club into a tailspin. They went 2-7 the rest of the way including a distasteful first round playoﬀ exit in Edmonton. With nine months to recover, which included a strong showing in the team’s minicamp in Florida in April, Durant is now feeling 100%. He took to social media on the morning of Day 1 of 2015 Roughrider training camp in Saskatoon to reassure the antsy Rider Nation.

“So blessed to be able to be able to do what I love for a living,” Durant wrote from his Twitter account at @DarianDurant. “Still feel like a kid going into my 10th camp!!” That’s music to our ears and Durant got the bulk of the work with the first team offense Sunday as he continues to test out his arm and get acclimated to new offensive coordinator Jacques Chapdelaine. He passed both with flying colours. The other guy you need to hear from is head coach Corey Chamblin who enters his fourth season in charge on the Rider sidelines. Along with General Manager Brendan Taman, Chamblin was tireless in building a roster which he believes will be in the 2015 Grey Cup in Winnipeg in November. “I think it’s different,” Chamblin said, referring to his roster makeup from one year ago. “I think in some areas we’re a little bit better and that’s just a part of coaching and personnel and different things. When we looked at it, we addressed different issues. Sometimes it’s not what we didn’t find, it was what was available. I think this year there was a different set of guys available to us.” Chamblin’s talking about the pool of available free agents and veterans on the trade market which he carefully selected for his locker room. Grey Cup champions like receiver Jamel Richardson, middle linebacker Shea Emry, defensive end Alex Hall and defensive back Keenan McDougall were all added to bolster the lineup and provide the unteachable intangible of “knowing how to win”. The club enters the 2015 CFL campaign with only one glaring question mark and it’s along the invaluable offensive line where games are often won and lost. Veteran centre Dominic Picard was cut loose this winter and star right tackle Ben Heenan was lost to the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts. Those are two important holes which the club is hoping to fill by unproven younger players. However the backbone of the team starts with the head coach and ends with the quarterback. If you have two cornerstones in place in those spots, you’re in good shape. Down south, New England has the trusted tandem of Bellichick and Brady while Seattle has the solid pair of Carroll and Wilson. The good teams all do. Chamblin and Durant have the same credentials with championship rings along with Coach of the Year and MVP awards on their resumes. The core is strong. Who knows how the 2014 season would have ended up had Durant stayed healthy? We’ll never know the answer to that and perhaps we can finally stop thinking about it. No, the time for optimism is now. Here in early June everyone is tied for first-place and every team feels good about the club they’ve assembled. Pretty soon we’ll board the always-entertaining roller coaster that is Roughrider season and I hope you’ll be along to follow the club’s fortunes every step of the way.

Veteran marathon runner and organizer of Arcola’s first Colour Dash, Cathy Burton (pictured right, with fellow organizer, Laurie James) says all of the marathons she has participated in have one overriding concern: the safety of everyone on the roads during outdoor running season. “It’s a time of year-whether it’s a formal race or notwhen there are a lot of people running, biking and even pushing strollers on our roads. These are our family members, friends and even our kids. We appreciate all of the drivers on the roads who are taking that extra moment today during our race and throughout the year who take that second to slow down.” Staff photo by Lynne Bell

Arcola principal Kevin Hengen appointed superindendent of schools Lynne Bell Observer Staff

As of August 1, 2015, Arcola School principal Kevin Hengen will be the superindendent of schools for the east service area of the South East Cornerstone Public School Division. Hengen will not only continue to serve Arcola School in his new role, but will also work primarily from Carlyle, where he will oversee the school there, as well as educational institutions from an area that encompasses Stoughton to the Manitoba border along Hwy 13, as well as north through Wawota, Maryfield, Moosomin, Wapella and Rocanville. “I’m excited about the new challenge that is in front of me,” says Hengen. “And look forward to working with the Board of Education, the Senior Leadership Team and the schools in the east area of the school division to continue to improve the learning outcomes of our students.” Hengen lives in Arcola-his hometown- with his wife Carrie and their two children, Taylor and Shaleen, both students at Arcola School. Hengen grew up in Arcola and has been at Arcola School in some capacity-either as a student, teacher or administrator for 30 years. Hengen attended Arcola School from Kindergarten to Grade 12. He earned his Bachelor of Education degree in 1994 from the University of Regina and began his teaching career in Arcola in 1995. He served as vice-principal in Arcola from 2005 to 2007, then moved to Stoughton Central School where he was principal for one year, before returning to Arcola as principal in 2008, the position he currently holds. Hengen also earned his Masters of Education degree from Brandon University in 2010,

while serving as Arcola’s principal His father, Joe Hengen, spent 17 years at Arcola School as both teacher and principal, and his eldest daughter, Taylor,will graduate from the school this year. “There have been a lot of Hengens here for quite a few years,” he says. “I have a sister-in-law, Colleen, who also works here at the school,” he laughs. “So there’s been a Hengen on staff at Arcola School since 1974.” Hengen says he welcomes his latest professional challenge. “I was ready for a new challenge in my career. I’ve been the principal here for seven years, and Arcola will continue to be home, but I was looking for a new challenge, and I’m looking forward to it.” “I would like to thank the communities of Arcola, Kisbey, and Pheasant Rump for their support over the years,” he adds. “The staff at the school here in Arcola have been a great team, and I owe them my thanks. I have really enjoyed my time here and I am looking forward to serving schools in the South East Cornerstone School Division.” Hengen will oversee 12 schools in the east area, and will be working with them all on the school division’s goals in reading, writing, math, as well as improving high school graduation rates within the division’s east service area. “I wanted to get involved with the senior leadership team in the division, and work in a different capacity than principal,” says Hengen. “I’ll be working on getting division goals implemented into school improvement plans, and helping to get those goals implemented into schools.”

Andrew, who mostly worked with vulnerable children and their mothers in the city’s slums, also brought a selection of crafts made by the women to support their families. “Thank you for coming out tonight and continuing to support me,” she said. “There is no shortage of kids who need our love and support.”

Correction from last week In last week’s article titled, “Local producers excited by WTO ruling on COOL,” Helen Finucane was referred to as the owner of John Brown farms but this was incorrectly inferred. Finucane is the Executrix of the Estate which includes overseeing the farm operations.

Canada’s economic future

By Calvin Daniels Facebook may seem like a strange place to find some rather optimistic news regarding the future of farming, but just the other day I happened upon a video clip via the social media site which would make any farmer smile. The short, three-minute clip was from The Globe and Mail’s ‘Inside the Market’, with Paul Waldie. On this particular clip Waldie has as his guest Canadian economist Jeff Rubin. Rubin, a former chief economist at CIBC World Markets, is also the author of the recent book ‘The Carbon Bubble’. In the short clip Rubin talks about how climate change, in particular the trend to a warmer climate may have some rather significant upside for Canadian agricultural producers. Rubin suggests the Canadian Prairies by being a northern latitude region will see average temperatures climb more significantly than the global averages. He said if the temperature averages rise two to three degrees, the growing season expands four to five weeks which not only increases yield potential but expands what crops can be grown here. As it stands Canada is the eighth largest export of agriculture products. With climate change Rubin said the country could become number one or two in terms of exports. By that point I was intrigued, so I went searching out a bit more on Rubin’s book. At Amazon.com I found that the book suggests the current vision of Canada’s economic future by government is off point. “Since 2006 and the election of the first Harper government, the vision of Canada’s future as an energy superpower has driven the political agenda, as well as the fast-paced development of Alberta’s oil sands and the push for more pipelines across the country to bring that bitumen to market. Anyone who objects is labeled a dreamer, or worse -- an environmentalist: someone who puts the health of the planet ahead of the economic survival of their neighbours,” noted material on the book ‘The Carbon Bubble’. “In The Carbon Bubble, Jeff Rubin compellingly shows how Harper’s economic vision for the country is dead wrong. Changes in energy markets in the US -- where domestic production is booming while demand for oil is shrinking -- are quickly turning Harper’s dream into an economic nightmare. The same trade and investment ties to oil that pushed the Canadian dollar to record highs are now pulling it down, and the Toronto Stock Exchange, one of the most carbon-intensive stock indexes in the world -- with over 25 per cent market capitalization in oil and gas alone -- will be increasingly exposed to the rest of the world’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions. “Rubin argues that there is a lifeline to a better future. The very climate change that will leave much of the country’s carbon unburnable could at the same time make some of Canada’s other resource assets more valuable; our water and our land. In tomorrow’s economy, he argues, Canada won’t be an energy superpower, but it has the makings of one of the world’s great breadbaskets. And in the global climate that the world’s carbon emissions are inexorably creating, food will soon be a lot more valuable than oil.” While obviously it comes down to which vision you choose to think has the greatest clarity, but from a farm perspective Rubin’s view has to be good news. Certainly the long term vision of many has been that ultimately food in a world of growing population will become the key commodity, right beside safe drinking water. The question of how the world pays for that food at rates high enough to cover production costs of course remains another question. But Rubin is an optimist and suggests farmland as an investment, while solid today, will only get better. Rubin said the west still has the potential to be the economic driver of Canada, but not because of oil reserves, but rather because of agricultural production, because in a world of climate change food will become more valuable than oil. While climate change has the potential to disrupt our world in ways most shy away from even contemplating, farmers here may find a silver lining, at least is Rubin’s crystal ball is on the right channel.

Pause for Reflection

How to guarantee a lasting marriage www. kenrolheiser.com By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll be happy. If you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher. Socrates “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics” (Mark Twain). When it comes to divorce statistics, there are lies that mislead. For example, everyone believes that 50 % of marriages end in divorce. Not so. The truth is more than 70% of first marriages succeed. Those who remarry more than once account for the 50% statistic cited earlier. A more powerful statistic is cited by Father Wendelin Rolheiser, a long time participant in World Wide Marriage Encounter: “if the couple is married in church and continues to go to church, only 1 in 50 fails; but where the couple is married in church, continues to go to church and has a prayer life together, the failure is 1 in 1005”. This happy fact should fill our churches with young families on Sunday mornings. Some churches are filled and teeming with this sacramental life. There are several other supporting conditions that make happy married life more probable.å Those who put in the eﬀort enjoy success in Marriage: “Two-thirds of unhappily married spouses who stayed married reported that their marriages improved within five years. The most unhappy marriages report the most dramatic turnarounds: among those who rated their marriages as ‘very unhappy,’ almost eight out of ten who avoided divorce are happily married five years later.” (from “Does Divorce Make People Happy? Findings from a Study of Unhappy Marriages”) Psychologist Dr. John Gottman in “The Love Lab” 1986 showed that kindness and generosity are the key factors in sustaining a marriage. A 1990’s study by Gottman showed that a key element is how couples typically respond to each other. If the pair shows interest or support, they fair well in maintaining a good relationship. Not surprising, those who reacted with, ‘Stop interrupting me, I’m reading’ did not fair so well.” Gottman, with his colleague Robert Levenson, studied thousands of couples to figure out what makes relationships work. The couples were asked to speak about their relationships. Gottman separated the couples into two major groups: the mas-

Manage your money The benefits of financial advice: many and tangible It’s been proven in study after study and, more importantly, in the lives of millions of Canadians - the best way to achieve your financial and retirement goals is having access to sound financial advice grounded in a comprehensive financial plan. Research* into Canadians’ savings and investment behavior and our attitudes toward retirement and savings advice has identified the significant value of delivering financial advice to the public, at all income and asset levels. The research concluded: Advice has a positive and significant impact on financial assets. Advisors perform tasks vital in the financial lives of their clients including improved financial literacy, developing a culture of savings and investment, developing and executing a financial plan, selecting appropriate financial vehicles and products and improving investment decisionmaking. Advice positively impacts retirement readiness. Canadians trust their advisors, feel positive toward them, and feel more confident they will

have enough money to retire comfortably. A comprehensive financial plan should include investment planning, cash flow planning, education planning, estate planning, insurance planning, retirement planning, and tax planning. To be successful, your plan must be tailored to you. It makes sense to seek the advice of a financial advisor who will take you through this sixstep planning process: Goal setting – to define and prioritize your goals and concerns. Data gathering – gathering all the pertinent financial information to understand your current financial situation. Financial analysis – analysing the data to determine whether you are on track to achieve your financial life goals, and to identify alternative strategies to achieve those goals. This includes a review of how to reduce your taxes; whether you’ll have enough income to cover your retirement expenses; and strategies for protecting your family and income should you become disabled or die unexpectedly. Plan formulation and recommendations – developing a written financial plan which con-

Buy Local starts June 6

The Government of Saskatchewan would like to encourage all residents to support the proclamation to “buy local” the first Saturday of every month. “We value the contribution of local businesses in communities across the province, and for that reason, want to encourage Saskatchewan residents to buy local,” Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “It’s a gesture of support for all those small businesses that work hard, create jobs and provide us with goods and services year-round.”

There are about 150,000 people employed in small business in Saskatchewan, which is about 30 per cent of the province’s total labour force. A proclamation to celebrate the small business sector and the importance of buying local came into force on May 11 of this year. “I would encourage Saskatchewan residents to shop local every day, but particularly on the first Saturday of every month, beginning this week on June 6,” Harrison said.

Plan implementation – taking action to implement the solutions that have been agreed upon. Monitoring and plan review – financial planning is not a one time event.
