A family legacy: Coderre Construction celebrates 70 years of business Kelly Running Observer Staff

It was a day to commemorate in Stoughton on Wednesday, Sept. 23, as Coderre Construction celebrated 70 years of business and the grand opening of their new shop and offices. As a young man Wilf Coderre joined the Canadian Air Force which worked alongside Britain’s Royal Air Force, during World War II. On his 13th mission the bomber plane he was on was shot down. Wilf was captured outside of Berlin by German forces and spent 17 months in a prison camp, being released when the war ended. Upon returning to Stoughton, Wilf bought his first truck and would begin the 70 year legacy of Coderre Construction with a three-tonne truck: “After the war I bought a three-tonne Ford truck,” Wilf explained. His wife, Lucy, added, “The trucks weren’t available to just anybody; the guys coming back from the war were given special allowances.” “When Dad was released from the camp, he had back pay coming, and it was with that money he bought the first truck,” Kim Coderre, one of Wilf and Lucy’s sons, explained. At the time trucks were hard to come by because the war effort had put a strain on metal and rubber for civilian use. Military personnel returning home were given the first opportunity to buy these trucks as a way to help them reintegrate into society. Shortly after returning and purchasing his truck, Wilf met Lucy: “I had been teaching in Forget,” Lucy remembers. “I didn’t know him before he left, but when he returned everybody knew him. He was the local hero.” The pair fell in love and married, starting their family of three sons and two daughters soon after, the sons – Del, Kim, and Randy – now operate the business which has reached seven decades of service to the community. “I started hauling fuel out of Regina for four or five years, along with cattle and grain for farmers, and then I got into the gravel business,” Wilf explained. “Things just got bigger; I bought my second truck maybe three years after and then we added more trucks and more loaders over the years.” “When I first started hauling gravel, it was cement gravel, all I had was a shovel. I shovelled the load on the truck and then off, it was very hard work.” Kim, another one of Wilf and Lucy’s sons, spoke of how hard Wilf worked stating, “Dad is the perfect example of how hard work won’t kill you.” In the beginning Wilf says there was one gravel pit north of Forget where he worked out of, but as time passed and the business grew, he explained his sons are now have multiple gravel pits they work out of.

Butternut Squash Soup Ingredients 4 pounds whole butternut squash (about 2 medium), halved lengthwise and seeds removed 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 stick) 1 medium Granny Smith apple (about 8 ounces) 1/2 medium yellow onion 8 fresh sage leaves

2 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth 2 1/2 cups water 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed 1/3 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup toasted pumpkin seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions 1 - Heat the oven to 425°F and arrange a rack in the middle. 2 - Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the squash pieces cut-side up on the baking sheet. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and brush all of it over the tops and insides of the squash halves (alternatively, you can rub it on evenly with your ﬁngers). Season generously with salt and pepper. Roast until knife tender, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. 3 - Meanwhile, peel, core, and cut the apple into medium dice. Cut the onion into medium dice. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the apple, onion, and sage, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside. 4 - When the squash is ready, set the baking sheet on a wire rack until

the squash is cool enough to handle. Using a large spoon, scoop the flesh into the saucepan with the sautéed apples and onions; discard the skins. 5 - Add the broth, water, and measured salt and pepper, stir to combine, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally and breaking up any large pieces of squash, until the flavors meld, about 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cream. 6 - Using a blender, purée the soup in batches until smooth, removing the small cap (the pour lid) from the blender lid and covering the space with a kitchen towel (this allows steam to escape and prevents the blender lid from popping off). Alternatively, use an immersion blender. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve garnished with the pumpkin seeds, if using.

Speed and sport at the Eagle Showdown Kelly Running Observer Staff

This year’s Flyin’ High at the Eagle Showdown was another great success. Held for the Manor Fire Department hot laps began at 2 p.m. and were followed by preliminary runs determining who would earn a spot in the feature events. The fifth annual event hosted by Eagle Motorsports and Joey Galloway Racing saw a beautiful day of racing, cameras flashed as dust flew and engines roared with packed stands taking in the action. In total 40 drivers took to the track with competitors competing in Hobby Stocks (15 drivers), Street Stocks (8), Modified Stocks (12), Powder Puff Race (5). The ground rumbled as the cars flew around the track, drifting around corners and accelerating along the straightaways the crowd’s excitement was evident through whoops and hollers for their favourite drivers. The qualifying races gave way to the feature events following a driver calcutta. Three racers of each event were auctioned off with the chance of winning a percentage of the pot if their driver took first place. One of the racers this year, Riley Raynard a young man from Lampman, was excited to be in Manor for the last races of the season. “I’ve been out there for one, the track is pretty good, it was a little greasy, but that’ll catch up the more it’s driven on,” Raynard said. “It’s going pretty good out there so far, I finished second in my first heat.” Although Raynard didn’t come away with a win at the Eagle Showdown, he has had a great season at the Estevan track this year finishing as runner up in points for champion. Raynard also explained that he had travelled down to Boone, Iowa to compete at the IMCA Super Nationals earlier this year which was a great experience. “It’s one of the biggest shows, there’s over 700 cars and over 500 classes,” Raynard said. “I even

The Street Stocks were up next with Garry Goudy Jr. of Stoughton taking first place. The final feature event was a 50-lap race for the Modified Stocks, with a mandatory pit-stop and fuel mid-way through. Excitement was in the air as the race ensued which erupted into loud cheering as local racer Joey Galloway of Manor earned first place. “The day went really well, it was good, there were lots of people who showed up and our car count was down a little bit, but there were a lot of other events on throughout the States and there was one over in Kindersley,” Galloway said. “But overall it went really good.” Galloway added that the win at the Big Eagle track comes with a highly successful season for the team, as Masen and Jett BigEagle along with himself have brought home quite a few trophies this year: “The

season has been really good, I race with Masen and Jett, and this year we raced 23 nights and won 16 or 17 races, so it’s been a very good year for us.” The Powder Puff race was a new feature this year. “We decided to do it because of there was talk in the area wanting a girls race, there’s a few who race weekly and we just decided to throw in an extra race last weekend to give them that option.” In the end Lindsey Wagner of Weyburn took first place in the ladies’ class. The action concluded and a crowd later returned for a cabaret that evening with Ten Mile High entertaining the crowd. Overall the day was once again thoroughly enjoyed by all in attendance, while the Manor Fire Department benefited from the generosity of those in the crowd. The event is hosted by the Big Eagle and Galloway families, with help in the form of great support from the community and surrounding area with participants, fans, and volunteers offering to help. Final numbers raised for the Fire Department are still being determined, but it was once again a great success.

An Oasis on Main Street: Carlyle’s Lotus Tree Wellness and Healing Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Brittany Dalziel-owner of Carlyle’s Lotus Tree Wellness and Healing-says, “The name of the business combines some of the symbology of the tree of life and Buddhism. Some of the attributes of the tree of life are healing, rejuvenation and sustenance. The lotus is a beautiful flower that blooms in muddy water. The flower can serve as a metaphor for people, inspiring them to rise above.” The registered massage therapist and yoga practioner adds: “We’re here to treat chronic and acute pain and help our clientele achieve optimal comfort in their daily living. We also strive to educate and guide our patients in making informed decisions about their health concerns through a natural, holistic approach to healthcare.” “I’ve always been interested in the human body,” she says. “As a child, I did gymnastics and I’ve always loved doing handstands and seeing the different things you can make your body do.” “I became a registered massage therapist in 2007 after studying at the Western College of Remedial Massage Therapies in Regina and in 2013, I qualified as a yoga instructor in Qualicum Beach, B.C.” “The most rewarding thing for me-both as a massage therapist and a yoga instructor-is seeing my clients and students looking healthy, happy and completely relaxed after a treatment or a class. With massage, I will do relaxation (massage), but I’m more focused on theraputic treatment designed to alleviate pain and stress.” “I’ve treated clients from ages three to 95 for a mix of everything. Work-related issues or injuries, athletic injuries, chronic and acute conditions-a mix of everything.” “In fact, part of the reason Lotus Tree came about was the fact that when I worked with clients, I referred lots of them to physiotherapy or chiropractic care.

thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be awesome to have all of these services in one place?’” Dalziel has assembled a team that will offer acupuncture, aesthetics, chiropractic treatment, dance, flotation, physiotherapy, raindrop therapy, registered massage therapy and yoga. “Dr. Rebecca Holman is a chiropractor who will be offering manual treatment, acupuncture and rehabilitative exercise prescriptions,” says Dalziel. “She encourages clients to adopt a healthy, active lifestyle and she practices what she preaches. She’s an athlete herself, so she has an athlete’s perspective of injury.” “Leann Boehm is a physical therapist who has worked with the Estevan Bruins (hockey team) as their team physiotherapist and she’s also involved with the Saskatchewan Winter and Summer Games’ medical teams, Skate Canada, and the University of Saskatchewan’s womens’ soccer team. She’s also the medical services chairperson for the 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games.” “She offers orthopaedics, acupuncture, sports physiotherapy and industrial rehabilitation and has worked in public and private practice,” adds Dalziel. “Melissa Dixon is a registered massage therapist who has 11 years of experience, Nicole Smulan is a yoga teacher who is also trained in ancient Thai massage, Sandra Veer is a holistic teacher and life coach who has studied under Dr. Deepak Chopra and Doreen Virtue. Tara Duhaime of Carlyle will be offering raindrop therapy.” Dalziel is not only excited about the health and wellness practitioners she is bringing to her business; she is also enthused about the transformation of her premises-both online and onsite. “”My friend Renee Oylypuk did an amazing job on our web page,” she says. “I couldn’t be happier and she put so much time and effort into it and made it really special for me.” “ And I’m actually thrilled with the reaction of people when they walk in the door,” adds Dalziel. “They don’t realize how much work has been done inside the building, so they’re often quite surprised.” “Building the studio and the treatment rooms was kind of a family affair. It was pretty neat. My uncle, Ted Dalziel came up from Oxbow to be here every day.” “My mom, my dad, my sisters and my brothers-in-law took the time out of their already-full lives and schedules and basically, worked their butts off,” she laughs. “And my Auntie Sandy and Marilyn Brady came and painted and also helped to work the big sale we had to clear out the building.” “My brother-in-law built all of the desks in the treatment rooms for me and my reception desk. It’s like the whole building-it’s really neat and really special and a full-on family affair.” “I’m hoping to have a grand opening in October. We’re so happy to bring these services to Carlyle and all of the surrounding communities.” “All of our lives are getting faster-paced, no matter where we live. It’s hard for people to take more time for themselves, but it’s important and I’m hoping that by bringing The Lotus Tree to this area, it makes it that much more easy for people to care for themselves,” says Dalziel. “The Lotus Tree is a labour of love for me and I hope that people come away feeling happier and healthier when they come through the doors.” Lotus Tree Wellness and Healing is located at 118 Main Street, Carlyle.

Arcola Library enjoys Culture Days

FALL SAVINGS

Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Arcola Library hosted Culture Days on Saturday, Sept. 27, with displays in the library and a BBQ. The day before saw kids yarn bombing throughout the community. Although an exact count of how many people attended is unknown, Colleen Hietenan said the Library Board sold six dozen hot dogs and were very happy with the number of people coming and going throughout the day. As with many functions in Arcola, Phyllis Cameron – The Cinnamon Bun Lady – brought dessert for the BBQ and also enjoyed showing people around the museum in Arcola. Art created by local artists was on display as was art created by the grades four and five at Arcola School. Autumn Downey, showcased her pottery in the library where there were also displays of quilted blankets. The library is currently selling tickets on pottery and a blanket, each of which were donated to the library. Tickets are still available and the draw will take place during Library Week in October. “It’s a wonderful event,” Heitenan explained. “It generates funds for the library to be used for all of our programs.” “We had a nice turnout and the weather cooperated. It’s a great collaboration by a lot of different community people.” The Arcola Library also welcomed a new board member, Kendal Mitchel, to join their ranks. This year the library has been featuring Wacky Wednesdays after school and have set up knit-arow-and-go, Culture Days, plans for Library Week, and yarn bombing. Recently the library introduced LEAP, a new program, which makes the library more interactive as it sends a text out if a book is due or if one is waiting for pickup. Additionally a new feature at the library is Hoopla, which offers five items free per card, there’s no waiting, and you can watch movies, read books, and more for seven days before it leaves your device. A new program that librarian, Tanya Pongracz, is currently looking into is introducing infant CPR. “It’s totally different than what everyone else in the field has got and with so many new babies in the community we think there would be lots interested,” she explained. Although this hasn’t been confirmed yet, Pongracz welcomes people to like their Facebook page: Arcola Public Library Branch where updates and information is posted.

Quote of the Week . . . “If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.” - Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Thoughts on a growing fear in Canada

Apparently I like addressing the controversial topics lately and I’ll carry it on today. Scrolling through Facebook I’m bombarded with my friends’ shares and likes of photos essentially saying Canada should limit refugee intake. On the refugee topic I’m divided because those people need Kelly Running help and they should get it, on Observer Staff the other hand ISIL has released statements that they will infiltrate these refugees and bring terror to the western world, which is a legitimate concern, however, people don’t have to be refugees to be terrorists. Canadian-born terrorism exists. On Oct. 14, 1982, an anarchist group called Squamish Five bombed a factory in north Toronto. They were activists who decided to go one step further because traditional passive methods weren’t working. They had bombed a BC Hydro substation on Vancouver Island earlier that year as well. In the 1920s the Sons of Freedom targeted Doukhobors and government buildings. The Front de libération du Québec (FLQ) was active between 1963 and 1970, while Quebec nationalist groups continue to come in and out of the limelight as domestic terrorists, resurfacing in 1984, 2000, 2001, and 2012. Yes, there have been issues surrounding Islamic extremists, but not just ones from overseas, a lot of time it’s people who have converted. Approximately a year ago, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau attacked people at a War Memorial in Ottawa killing Cpl Nathan Cirillo. Zehaf-Bibeau was a recent self converted Islamic extremist, he had grown up in Canada. In 2013 Canadian Muslims helped to foil a plot to derail a New York to Toronto train on the Canadian side of the border when Chiheb Esseghaier and Raed Jaser of Montreal and Toronto planned the attack. So, I don’t think looking at refugees as being the enemy is necessarily the right way to go. What is the right action to take? Do you deny the many in need to potentially prevent a few ISIL members or do you welcome refugees who have nothing and absolutely nowhere to go? The fear created is not something that just affects Canada either. Europe, Australia, and the United States are all currently living with this question: deny refugees to potentially protect the country or vet them well and welcome people in need? In the United States, Daryl Grisgraber, a senior advocate for Refugees International told Al Jazeera News, “The short answer is that the issue is overblown. The detailed answer is that the U.S. has been resettling refugees for over 50 years now, and ever since 9/11, there’s been an even more rigorous vetting process. It is slow and thorough, and, frankly, for the refugees, it can be quite painful.” Refugees are registered and referred by the U.N. refugee agency, here biographic and biometric data is taken including iris scans for refugees coming from the Syrian crisis. Only once the U.N. feels their story checks out are they approved to be sent to a country taking refugees. The government of that country then conducts their own security checks, interviews with each family member, and if any doubt is cast on their story a red flag is put up. No one denies there’s a security risk, but to what extent can that risk be exploited? If we take in refugees and then a terrorist attack occurs will we automatically point fingers even if they weren’t responsible?

So many people; so lonely The Sociology professor presented the class with a list of random age ranges and asked which demographic we thought would be the loneliest. Answers came from around the room: the 80 years and older group since they had likely experienced the passing of many friends; or the 60-70 year old range because retirement would result in big, and perhaps, difficult transiShelley Luedtke tions. As discussion continued a student sitting near the back quietly spoke up, “I think it’s us.” Every head in the classroom turned toward him as he repeated, “I think the loneliest group is us, our age group. I know it’s true for me.” The room became uncomfortably silent for a moment until a girl spoke up saying she agreed, that even though people told her this was going to be the best time of her life, she often felt sad and lonely. Others echoed the sentiment that despite being around people all the time, there was a definite sense of loneliness in life as a student. Often times older adults look back and tend to romanticize those years. Carefree. Independent. Before mortgages…and child rearing…and work pressures. Yet for many, those were years filled with uncertainty, separation from all that is familiar, and searching. Searching for the right place to be, the right program of study, the right career path. Feelings of inadequacy would rise up when it looked like everyone around us had it all together and we didn’t. As the class became more like a therapy session and less like a lecture, I was moved by the vulnerability and honesty of those speaking up. Not everyone did of course. Perhaps they weren’t comfortable sharing so personally or perhaps they felt very differently. Although that class took place many years ago I thought back to it after watching an American news item citing new research detailing what students would likely be feeling as they headed to college.

The more things change the more they may indeed stay the same. Yet something has changed. Something dramatic. And not for the better. The statistical numbers of those young people reporting feelings of loneliness and isolation are higher…much higher, than they ever were. Many factors were considered--but one stood out. We know what it is. We’ve all seen it. We’ve all been affected by it. We likely even participate in it. We are so connected to a virtual world we have disengaged from the people around us. Contrary to its name, “social” media has made us anything but. It has put us in touch with countless people in countless places and in doing so we falsely believe it means we have more people in our circle that matter. We now equate followers with friends, replaced talking with texts, and substituted posts for face to face conversation. It’s easy, convenient and fun. But it’s no way to establish real connection between any of us. If we continue to rely on our tech devices to form our relationships we are selling ourselves short. Every stage of life has the potential for different causes of loneliness, but also the potential for a great many things we can do. It’s not easy for anyone to admit they are lonely, so let’s take that piece out of the equation. We don’t need to make fancy plans or grand gestures, we simply need to be there for those around us and sit, be still, maybe share a cup of coffee and a bit of conversation. People will remember the time someone took to set aside other things and simply…connect. If we are concerned about the lives of our young people and the way they will be interacting with their future families, on the job, and the leadership roles that will most certainly affect us all, we can stress to them they are worth so much more than a presence on the internet and a profile on social media. We need to spend less time on social media and more time on social living. We’re aren’t missing out by unplugging for awhile. We may even discover that disconnecting from what doesn’t matter makes us far more available to those who do. That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

Homeschooling: only if you’re sure you can Kelly Running Observer Staff

This week Lynne and I brainstormed and came up with a topic. We couldn’t really decide what we thought about it, but decided home schooling is a topic that could be debated. As I began researching why people decide to home school, I came across arguments against home schooling, which I’m arguing this week. Home schooling used to be for reasons such as religion and wasn’t the norm for just anyone to choose to do. Now, however, many Canadian families are choosing to home school for a variety of other reasons. One of the very first warnings an online home schooling reference guide stated was that unless you are a teacher, you won’t be able to be able to teach as efficiently as a professional teacher. Stress can also develop when you’re with your child constantly day in and day out it can strain family relationships. A parent is in charge of preparing all of the lessons for each of the subjects to the point that you feel comfortable answering any questions your child might ask. If a child begins to struggle they may come to blame the teacher, which in this case is you, the parent. Home school is a full time job for a parent and this would mean dedicating yourself to the education of your child. Do you have the time and resources to be able to properly educate your child? For many this makes home schooling financially irresponsible as it eliminates income from a job the parent held outside of the home. An even larger concern however is the socialization that a school setting can afford a youth. Organized sports, recreational activities, group projects, playing together at recess, and much more is offered at schools. If they don’t interact with peers then they could be socially underdeveloped, although school does pose many challenges for some students and families that home schooling can aid in. Within a Canadian study done many who home school still believe in the public education system saying that school is actually the best place for their child, but the parent blames teachers and their unions for why the public school model doesn’t work the way they wish it would. Overall many of whom home school have favourable opinions about public school, but see certain aspects of how it is facilitated and therefore choose to home school. Homeschooling is a lifestyle and if your life or your ability to home school your child is in question, then it isn’t feasible because despite wanting to do it, risking your livelihood, your relationship with your kid, and their education are at stake. However, if you’re confident in your abilities to teach, to maintain a healthy relationship with your child despite being a source of frustration as their teacher, and you have the financial means to home school then if you’re thinking about it, give it a try. However, risking your child’s education if you’re unsure about this is likely going to lead you down a troublesome path, so make sure you’re both ready for it before committing to it.

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

In Defense of Homeschooling Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

A recent study from Canada’s Fraser Institute states that more Canadian families are choosing to home-school their children. The study-released in June-states that in the past, children in this country were home-schooled mostly for religious or other morally-driven reasons. However, many Canadians are now choosing this educational option pragmatically. Some of the advantages of home-schooling are: offering an educational alternative for students who may have a learning disability or health issues that preclude a successful traditional school experience; accomodating students with careers outside school-such as performing or playing a sport at a higher level- and assisting students whose families may travel for extended periods or who live in an isolated area. The study also states that statistics show that home-schooled students “score higher in the higher percentiles compared to kids in public schools on standardized tests in reading, writing and mathematics.” All of Canada’s 10 provinces require that parents of home-schoolers notify authorities in their jurisdiction of their intent to educate their offspring at home. However, only Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec currently require parents and/or guardians to submit a learning plan and progress reports, although with the increase of home-schooling across the country, officialdom is beginning to getting up to speed regarding this increasingly popular educational option. Critics of home-schooling cite the need for young people to adapt to timetables, teachers and their fellow pupils as part of their overall growth as

citizens. There are also concerns about an uneven and inferior educational experience for homeschooled students (in spite of statistical evidence to the contrary), that would potentially leave young people unprepared for post-secondary schooling. Ironically, both sides of the home-schooling debate state that their primary concern regarding parents’ decision to educate at home is “negative socialization.” Parents who home-school often keep their kids out of school because they believe that bullying, exclusionary tactics and other forms of anti-social behavior in schools sets up their children for failure, regardless of quality of education. Those who disagree with home-schooling also have similar concerns about student socialization, but at the other end of the spectrum. These people believe that not having the opportunity to experience a school setting will hinder home-schoolers both socially and emotionally. Both sides have a valid point. From what I’ve witnessed, schools are increasingly challenged to accomodate the special needs and often exceptional circumstances of their students and they are-in my humble opinion-doing an admirable job. And I’ve met students from this part of the province who attend school and students who are home-schooled-and they’re equally great young people doing great things. In an ideal world, everyone would have a stellar school experience, but unfortunately, not everyone thrives in the classroom. As long as curriculum standards are met and monitored, this is just another educational option that will help students succeed.

Riders hope for miracle finish

For the rest of the CFL, it appears to be a big “Uh Oh”. The Saskatchewan Roughriders appear to have woken up. In their best performance of the season to date, the Green & White kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 33-21 home victory over the Montreal Alouettes Sunday afternoon before 30,843 fans at Mosaic Stadium. And almost immediately, the victory had the Rider Nation buzzing. It was the #1 topic on coffee row Monday morning: “So what has to happen for the Riders to make the playoffs?” The truth is, a lot. The odds are far greater that the Roughriders will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2011 because, according to CFL official statistician Steve Daniel, the Riders have to win all of their remaining five games and hope the Bombers, Lions, and Alouettes continue to lose. But remarkably, it could happen. And things have finally started to turn for Saskatchewan and the only question that remains is: have they left it too late? If you’re around the team every day, it’s impossible not to notice that this is a totally different football team than the one which started the season 0-9 and caused the firings of head coach Corey Chamblin and GM Brendan Taman.

Their replacements, Bob Dyce and Jeremy O’Day both on the interim, are working in concert to change the mindset of their locker room. It’s subtle things, like changing the practice techniques and leaving the roster alone, for the most part. Sunday’s game was the first time all season that there were no changes to the roster from the week before. Lack of injuries played a part in this, but the reluctance to tinker with the lineup seems to have instilled a renewed sense of confidence amongst the players. In Sunday’s game, the Riders led 6-0 after their first possession and never relinquished the lead the rest of the way. “It’s a different mentally now,” revealed quarterback Kevin Glenn who tossed for 212 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s game. “We have a lot of the same guys but sprinkled in some new guys, like Naaman Roosevelt, but for the most part, we had a good team early on and weren’t getting the breaks and weren’t doing the right things early. But it’s a different mindset now. You can credit the coaches and the guys, but everyone is coming together.” Glenn’s right. Roosevelt is one of a handful of American rookies on this team that bided his time on the practice roster in the first half

but is now making the most of his playing time on a club that is well below .500. The Buffalo product and former NFL’er led the team in receiving Sunday with three catches for 68 yards. Ditto for offensive tackle Jermarcus Hardrick and defensive tackle Andre “Juicy” Monroe who’ve been starting since the coaching change and have displayed unending hustle in practice and in games. All it took was one win in another must-win game for the Roughriders to be infused with glowing optimism. The veterans have shone a positive light on things as well, including defensive end John Chick who delivered a passionate pregame speech to his team. It seemed to have provided the necessary inspiration. Is there a miracle finish in store for Canada’s Team? “That’s our plan,” Bob Dyce chuckled in his postgame news conference. “It’s funny, I’ve let certain players talk to the team at certain points. John Chick asked me if he could talk to the team and he had an important message. He said he has nothing but belief in this team and we need to keep fighting and see where the cards fall.” You can’t turn your back on the Roughriders now. It appears the fun has just begun.

Moose Mountain Lions host 172 golfers in annual tourney Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Moose Mountain Lions happily welcomed an abundance of golfers on Saturday, Sept. 26, looking to take in a ﬁnal tournament of the season on a beautiful autumn day. The sixth annual Moose Mountain Lions Club Golf Tournament was a great success according to president, Kent Sauter, who said a total of 172 golfers attended to participate in the four person Texas Scramble. “We had about 50 more come out than we ever had, which put us over capacity but we weren’t turning anyone away,” Sauter said. “Everyone was done too within six hours which is very good.” The day began with breakfast and registration at the Moose Mountain Church of Christ between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., with the tournament beginning at noon with a shotgun start. Golf Kenosee hosted the group, where the autumn colours shone brightly highlighting the beauty of the season and the course. Following a beautiful day at Golf Kenosee the participants and people

in the community were welcomed to a steak supper. “The hall was packed, there were a lot of people out for the dance, and it was a great night,” Sauter added. Although the Moose Mountain Lions don’t currently have a large project in the works, they are thankful for the support of the community. “Thank you to all of our sponsors and everyone who participated,” Sauter stated. “We can’t thank those enough who came out, we can’t do what we do in the community if it wasn’t for people willing to participate in our events and for the donations of prizes from our sponsors.” “We don’t have any major projects on the horizon, but this weekend [Saturday] we’re holding our annual cleanup day. We’ll pull our dock out of the water and pick up trash around the village, just tidy everything up before the snow hits. We’ll meet in front of the Gardens at 10:30 and head out at 11 a.m. and I think we’re going to have a BBQ after for everyone who comes out to help.”

Duncan Lees inducted into 2015 Honour Roll (Originally printed in the Canadian Hereford Digest 2015 August Herd Reference Issue.) Duncan was born September 26th, 1948, at Arcola, Saskatchewan, where he and his family still live on the quarter his great grandfather Thomas Lees homesteaded Blair Athol in 1882. Their first Herefords were registered in 1910 by Thomas, who passed away in 1929. Duncan’s grandfather continued to ranch and register calves until his death in 1936. Duncan’s father Thomas and his brother Harold continued breeding Hereford cattle separately and later under the partnership name Lees Brothers until 1964, when the partnership was dissolved. Tom continued to operate under the name Blair Athol until his death in 1974. From 1974 to 1984, Blair Athol continued as a partnership between Duncan and his brother Chris. In 1985 Duncan took over sole ownership of Blair Athol with his wife, Val and their family. Blair Athol continues to this day operated as Blair Athol Farms, owned by Duncan and Val, and Jeff and his wife, Grace. There have been 5 generations of family who have continuously registered Herefords for 105 years on this farm. Duncan attended grade one through eight at Percy School then completed grades 9 through 12 at Arcola High School. In 1968, he attended the American Herdsman Institute in Blue Springs Missouri and in 1972 completed his Certified Artificial Insemination Technology Course in Alameda, Saskarchewan. Duncan married Valerie Mamchur on August 9th, 1971 and they had four children; Lynne, Arden, Jeff and Jarrett. They are the proud grandparents of Christin and Kylee Dixon, Callie and Aidan

Senger, Matthew, Jade, and Andrew Charlton, and Jackson and Hannah Lees. Showing is an integral part of the operation. Blair Athol has been an exhibitor at Canadian Western Agribition 41 out of 43 years and their children showed at 13 Bonanzas! Duncan is always happy to support the Juniors. His grandchildren, along with other Juniors, have been loaned cattle in six shows and they attended four other shows to support Juniors showing Blair Athol cattle. The family showed cattle at two American Junior National Shows and has shown at the National Western Stock Show in Denver four times. Duncan was instrumental in starting two sales the farm holds with other breeders. Their annual production sale, “Blair Athol, Haroldsons’ and Friends” started in 1998 and has been running for 17 years; and the “Wilson/ Lees Value Added Bull Sale” was ﬁrst held in 2005 and run for 10 consecutive years. Two Blair Athol Herd sires have been used across North America through semen sales: Blair Athol 20 The Rock ET 19M and Blair Athol 13K Major 101N. Duncan has been an active Hereford supporter at both local and national levels. He was a Director for the Canadian Hereford Association from 2000-2007, served as President in 20052006; was Director and President of the Saskatchewan Hereford

Association; Director and President of the Eastern Saskatchewan Mainline Hereford Association; Director for the South East Saskatchewan Hereford Breeders Association; Director and President for the Sale of Distinction; Director and President of the South East Saskatchewan Hereford Zone; Director and Vice President for the Regina Bull Sale; President for the Percy Clare, Saskatchewan Stockgrowers Association; and Adult Adviser to the Saskatchewan Juniors from 1980-1982 and again from 1990-1998. Duncan has been invited to Judge shows in Heming, Denmark; the World Beef Expo in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Farmfair in Edmonton; Canadian Western Agribition in Regina; Expo-Boeuf in Victoriaville, Quebec; the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto; the Lindsay Fair AllBreeds, in Lindsay, Ontario; the Hardisty Field Day in Hardisty, Alberta; and numerous small fairs and regional and local 4H shows. Herefords are a major part of life for the Lees family who have all been involved on various governing boards at many diﬀerent levels. Val was a member of the Southeast Hereford Ladies, Secretary for the Eastern Saskatchewan Mainline Hereford Association and ran the Hereford booth at Agribition from 19851991.

The Girls’ Group format begins in the fall with all mentors and mentees together in a large group participating in guided activities with our facilitators. Towards December the facilitators will begin to divide this large group into smaller peer-led mentoring groups. By January, these smaller peer groups will meet weekly until June with the oversight of the facilitator. Why join Girls’ Group? Girls’ Group is designed to help build peer support and selfconfidence among girls age 10-13. Studies have shown that peer building activities outside of school hours have been an effective approach to building these assets. The addition of peer mentors age 1417 strengthens that approach by giving our girls someone within their school social network to look up to. When do we meet? Girls’ Group meetings will take place weekly after school from 3:30-4:45 on Mondays at CES for gr 5-6 and their gr 9-10 mentors, and Tuesdays at GFK for grades 7-8 and their mentors gr 11-12 mentors. These meetings will begin October 26 th and 27 th and continue regularly until June. Detailed calendars will go home later on. What’s in it for me? You can use the hours toward your required volunteer hours in school. You will receive training and experience that is valuable on your resume and university/ college grants. You will learn skills that will increase your chances of employment. You will be doing all these things while having fun, hanging out with friends, making art, playing games, going on field trips and eating food…not so bad. Students should listen for announcements and/or see Mrs. Fehrenbach if they are interested. Wishing all the best to our Student Leadership Team members who are currently in Halifax, Nova Scotia for the Canadian Student Leadership Conference. Under the direction of Janelle Scherle, we wish all the students the best.Have fun Makenna

BY PHONE: 453-2525 BY FAX: 453-2938 Card of Thanks THANK YOU: Although it is hard to put words on paper, we wish to thank everyone who enquired about Ty and family while in Edmonton. Thanks for cards, Facebook messages, food, flowers, visits and donations to Stollery Children’s Hospital in Ty’s name, since his passing. It has been an emotional last month and your messages of encouragement are a blessing. Thank you all. Cherish each day for we know not what tomorrow may bring. Ron and Juanita 20-1 THANK YOU: Bob & I would like to say thank you to the many people who shared our grief over the past several weeks. Gord’s death came as a complete shock. It hasn’t been easy for any of us. Gord was taken from us all too soon, and right on the heels of our sister, Loretta’s Celebration of Life at Sturgis. It was overwhelming. Thanks for the many cards of sympathy, the visits, the flower arrangements, the fruit tray (and all the apples and bananas), the roasted chicken, the salads, the baking, but especially the hugs. We really needed them. We are so grateful for the support around us at this difficult time. Thank you and may God bless you. Bob & Delores Cutler 20-1 THANK YOU: To Eddie & Audrey Brady, Alice Saville and anyone else who watered the plants at the Ramsey Gazebo all summer. Greatly appreciated. Bill & Jeannette 20-1

Looking for someone you cannot wait to see again! Jane is a beautiful, sweet girl who is a nurse and looking for the right man. Jane has never been married, has no children, and no baggage. She loves football, hockey, going to concerts, and just being outdoors. She is very down to earth and easy to get along with. She’s a great listener and always wants to help others. Jane is not one to go to bars, and has had a hard time meeting the right person in her small community. She is very open and accepting of people. She’s non-judgmental, and cares more about who someone is on the inside rather than on the outside. She’s looking for a good man who is energetic, fun, adventurous, has a good sense of humor, is down-to-earth, and is a little bit romantic.

OBITUARIES Pastor Russel Richardson RICHARDSON - Pastor Russel Richardson left peacefully to be with his Savior on Sunday, September 13, 2015. He was born on November 11, 1911 to Ralph and Lavina Richardson in Stoughton, SK. He was converted to God on November 10, 1935 and immediately felt the call of God to ministry, and started tent evangelism, which he continued for 76 years. In 1950 he met and married the love of his life, Edna Esther Laube and were married on September 29, 1950 and together they evangelized across Canada, the U.S. and overseas. They opened and established 8 churches in 10 years and operated a training centre for 22 years, as well as Radio Ministry over 25 different radio stations for 45 years, which is still continuing today. It was in 1968 that they built the Yorkton Free Pentecostal Church, with the desire to reach as many as possible in the area and Pastor preached until recently. Many souls were saved and a great number were water baptized throughout the years. His passion was to extend the Kingdom of God, and farming and ranching in his home area of Stoughton enabled him to do that. He never missed an opportunity to pray for someone when they went to town for parts or fuel. Pastor Russel was predeceased by his parents, Ralph and Lavina (nee Horner) Richardson; his brother, Bert (Rita) Richardson; two sisters, Lila (Bob) Fenn and Doreen (Ray) Gilby. He is survived by his loving wife Edna (Honey), sisters, Ann Shindle and Ruth (Evert) Alberts, sister-inlaw Marge Laube, numerous nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, his fellow ministers and many brothers and sisters in the Lord that were a part of his special life.

Rita Wilcott (nee Prescott) It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Rita Wilcott, on September 24, 2015, surrounded by her family at the Actionmarguerite (Taché Nursing Center) in St. Boniface, Manitoba, at the age of 83. Rita leaves to mourn her beloved husband René of 46 years; her two sons Philip and Paul; her brothers and sisters: Irène s.g.m., Marguerite s.g.m., Louis, Françoise, Lucie (late Robert Allard), Hélène (Guy Mousseau), Georges (late Jeannine Ruest) and Pauline; sister-in-law Pearl Prescott (nee Bazay); René’s brothers and sisters; and nephews and nieces on both sides of the family. Rita was predeceased by her father Arcadius Prescott; her mother Zéphirine Mousseau; her brothers and sisters: Evelyne, Fr. Réginald, Fr. Roland, Fr. Henri, Alma, Ernest and Gilbert. Rita was born on June 24, 1932 at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Following her education at St. Joseph Academy, she entered the Community of Sisters of Saviour where she stayed until 1964. Rita was married to Romuald Wilcott on July 15, 1967 at St. Boniface Cathedral, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Sadly she lost her first husband due to a tragic car accident, which occurred on their honeymoon while travelling to Kamloops, B.C. Rita was re-married to René Wilcott on December 28, 1968 at John Fisher Parish in St. Boniface, Manitoba. The marriage was officiated by her brother Fr. Henri Prescott and assisted by her two brothers Fr. Réginald and Fr. Roland. Rita was a loving housewife who raised her family with her husband on a farm near Alida, Saskatchewan. Rita had a passion for playing and teaching piano to students throughout the area. Rita loved her students and she was always proud of them when they would perform and excel at various music festivals. She was actively involved in supporting the local St. Raphael Church in Cantal, and she spent countless hours volunteering her time for various community events. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the staff on 2ABC for their support and compassionate care during her 12 year stay at the Nursing Home. Funeral Mass was presided by Father Marcel Carrière at 10:30 AM on Wednesday, September 30, at the St. Boniface Cathedral, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Viewing started at 10:00 AM followed by a eulogy at 10:15 AM. Interment of her cremated remains will take place at the St. Boniface Cemetery at a later date. Condolences may be sent to www.desjardinsfuneralchapel.ca

Enjoying the fine fall weather and scenery on Sunday, September 20 were Shelly Cowan, April and Adrianna Junk, Lesa and Haley Bendtsen as they participated in their trail ride around the area. Gille and Cheryle Boutin are pleased to welcome their new little grandson, Haze O’Neil who arrived safe and sound on Sept. 23, second son for Stephanie and Derek Campbell (Redvers), and baby brother for Dane. Congratulations to everyone. Bob and Jane Lemieux (Nanton, AB) were visiting with his mother Boodie (Margaret) Lemieux and renewing acquaintances with family and friends in Alida for a few days last week. The Alida Rec Board members are beginning to put their heads together to think of some fund-raising ideas for the Rink renovations that are finally being started. It’s looking interesting and will surely be an asset towards the rink. One of their ideas for this coming fall is a “Harvest Whine’d Up Supper” which will be held on October 23 at the hall. The evening is to begin with the “Whine” hour followed by a smorg supper. Hope to see you there for an excellent evening out with delicious food on the menu. It should be fun. THEY DID IT – THEY DID IT – THE RIDERS WON – YEAH – it may only be # 2 but it was a GREAT win, gives them a mathematical change to maybe make the playoffs, but it’s very iffy (so don’t hold your breath, ha). Most of our local and loyal fans traveled to Regina to be on hand to cheer and watch this game. I just enjoyed most of it watching the

Now for the next installment in “How children perceive the grandparents”: (5) After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the threeyear-old say with a trembling voice, “Who was THAT?” …… (6) A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather’s word processor. She told him she was writing story. “What’s it about?” he asked. She replied, “I don’t know. I can’t read.” …… (7) I didn’t know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last, she headed for the door, saying, “Grandma, I think you should try to ﬁgure out some of these colors yourself!” Hope you have a great day. Also please remember to call (306-443-2496), text (306 4858561) or e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel. net) with you news, I do appreciate your help. Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and take care.

Another month has slipped awayóthe harvest is coming to an endóthe gardens are taken care of for most people and the weather has been great this past weekóending with the eclipse, I am sure a number of people had the chance to see it. The ﬁrst fall supper in Kennedy was a great success again this year, approximately 300 folks enjoyed the roast beef with all the trimmings. Hosted by the Kennedy United Church. Ethel Barta of Vernon, BC spent the past week visiting with Bob and Kate Smyth and other family members. Edythe Cowan enjoyed her trip to Oyen, AB when she visited her daughter Shirley and family. Edythe says it’s always so nice to go but also nice to get back home, where she enjoys her own house and community. Bob and Myra McWilliams of Brockville, ON are visiting with Rev. Barbara Wilkins. Last week Roy Bortolotto joined them on a trip to Winnipeg, on their return home they stopped to visit George and Eleanor Hodgins. These folks are enjoying their new residence but always like renewing friendship with the Kennedy folks. Friday, Sept. 25th the Kennedy Friendship centre hosted a bridge tournament with 21 teams entering with folks from Estevan, Weyburn, Lampman, Grenfell, Broadview, Whitewood, Kipling, Wawota and Kenosee Lake. The day was excellent for a drive and as usual

everyone had a great day. The 50/50 winners taking home $31.00 each were George Smyth of Kennedy, Pearl MacDougall of Whitewood and Brenda Paul of Broadview. Two draws were made for boxes of vegetables donated by Jean and Elmer Molnar ó Gordon Toppings of Kipling, Mary Hewson of Langbank. The bridge tournament winners were Carrie Lepteth and Margaret Sawyer of Estevan, Jim Brown and Lucie Nickel of Weyburn, Dorothy Hewson and Jean Molnar of Kennedy.

Gerry and Halina Hourd left Sept. 19th to meet Edward and Bernie Hourd for a week holiday at Panarama, BC (18 miles from Invermere). The company, weather and scenery all made the trip very relaxing and enjoyable. Thot for the week---Donít let life discourage you, everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.
