Carlyle & District Lions Club fundraiser nets $27,000 for local causes By Lynne Bell The Carlyle & District Lions Club’s 24th annual supper, raffle and auction packed the Carlyle Memorial Hall and raised $27,000 for local causes. “It’s fabulous,” says Lions member and event chairperson Wayne Wilson. “We had a full house and we raised some money.” Over 200 people attended the March 5 event, which enables the Lions to support a variety of local causes and initiatives. For 51 years, the Club has donated funds to local, national and international concerns. However, money stemming from this event is reserved entirely for local use. “All of the funds from this one go back to groups in our community and area,” Wilson explained. “Last year, we donated just over $43,000 to a total of eight or nine groups, and this year, we’re happy to do it again.” In the over two decades since the event was started, the local Lions have provided funding to the Crescent Point Leisure Complex, Lions Park, the Carlyle Sports Arena, the Carlyle Curling Rink, Carlyle Memorial Hall, the Carlyle Golf and Country Club, Carlyle Fire and Rescue, the Rusty Relics Museum, the Carlyle Library, Manor Rink, and others. In addition, the Lions Club has also offered assistance to individuals in need. The event-which has become a fixture on the Carlyle calendar for over 20 years- is not surprisingly, “So wellorganized,” according to Lions member Myrla Holland. “Wayne is our chief organizer,” says Holland. “He also introduced the application process a few years ago.” “The application process allows organizations and groups to tell us what they need and what it will cost,” she adds. “It makes it easier for the Lions to decide how much to give and it makes sense for the recipients to request directly what their needs are.” However, Holland stresses that the application process does not apply to any health-related or emergency situation, where the Lions Club may be called upon to assist.

Auctioneer Ward Cutler (right) was honoured for 20 years of sharing his considerable talents with the annual Lions’ fundraiser, as he was presented with a $1,000 gift voucher by Lion Keith Walker (left). In a gracious thank you, Cutler said, “I know I say it every year, but it’s an honour and a pleasure to come back to this great community. It’s probably one of the last fundraising auctions that I do. I believe in what the Lions Club does here and all they put back into the community.” “In those situations, people are not required to fill out an application. They should get in touch with a member of the Lions Club instead.” This year, over 500 auction items and raffle prizes were donated by over 160 businesses, organizations, and individuals. “Everyone is so generous,” says Holland. “Because the community supports this fundraiser, it allows the Lions Club to give back to the community.” This year, the Lions honoured one of their own, by hanging longtime member Gord Savill’s Lions vest and pins in a place of honour in the Hall. Savill passed away in December 2014, and Wilson says, “Gord

was a valued member of he Lions Club for over 50 years. He always had a joke or a case of beer for a work party. He is truly missed and we really wanted to honour him tonight.” The Carlyle & District Lions also recognized the 20 years of service by auctioneer Ward Cutler. Cutler-who grew up in Carlyle- has returned to be the event’s auctioneer for 20 years. Now a sought-after auctioneer and rodeo announcer on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border, he makes a concerted effort to work at the Lions’ event. “This is probably one of the last fundraising auctions that I do,” says Cutler. “I believe in what the Lions Club does here
and all they put back into the community.” Cutler had to leave before the event was over in order to travel to a job the following day, but was surprised by a presentation from the Lions thanking him for his two decades of service to their cause. While presenting Cutler with a $1,000 gift voucher, Lion Keith Walker said, “He’s now a world-class auctioneer, but every year, he comes back to our fundraiser, and we just want him to know how much we appreciate it.”

Arcola’s Moose Mountain Ag Day informs and educates for over a decade By Lynne Bell For over a decade, Moose Mountain Ag Day-held March 3 at Arcola’s Prairie Place Hall- has endeavored to provide trending and timely information for farmers and ranchers in southeastern Saskatchewan. This year, the annual event hosted producers, businesses, and eight experts who addressed topics from the use of social media to the upcoming season’s prairie weather forecast. Kansas-based meteorologist, Drew Lerner of World Weather Inc. specializes in predicting weather patterns as they affect agriculture. “This year, in this part of Saskatchewan, the problem (for the 2015 growing season) is not the weather; it’s the moisture already in the ground.” “I’m either going to depress you or make you happy,” joked Lerner. “Last year in this area, I didn’t expect it to be as wet as it was. I’m so sorry you guys
have been up against this for the past several years.” “This year, the problem won’t be the weather. There will probably be below-average storm systems, but what will bring the moisture profile back to saturation will be the moisture that is already in the soil.” “We need it to be dry long enough for the soil to firm up,” continued Lerner. “You’re blessed in the sense of not having a lot of deep snow out there right now. There’s a drier bias this year and it won’t be an excessively hot summer. There are short-term wetter biases early in the season, but it will be progressively drying across our region throughout the summer. If you can get over the spring hump and get through the planting season, then I have a lot of hope here for this particular season.” “You guys have been beat up too many times and you deserve a break.” Lerner, who has 35 years of forecasting experience,
specializes in providing short-and long-range forecasts that specialize in how weather influences agriculture. He has clients in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Australia, and India, and says, “Nature tends to counter-balance herself. We’re getting to the point where we are long overdue for a correction.” To prepare his forecasts, Lerner refers to a variety of data and more than one method of calculation. During his talk, he referred to the Palmer Drought Severity Index, which is an index of the relative wetness or dryness of areas with water-sensitive economies, as well as the 18-year cycle, which uses the historical jet stream pattern of an area, in addition to mapping El Nino.

From page 1 – Lions dinner and auction After enthusiastic applause, a gracious Cutler acknowledged his mentor, auctioneer Ken Anderson, and said: “This is where I got my start and I know I say it every year, but it is an honour and a pleasure to come back to this great community.” “I’ve enjoyed every minute of it, and whether I’m in the U.S. or Canada, I know I have a great family and a great community. I am very proud to call Carlyle, Saskatchewan, home.” After a buffet that included turkey, pork, and trifle for dessert, catered by Eileen Corrigan and Linda Chapman, Cutler led the auction action. One of the items up for bid inspired a letter from last year’s successful bidder, which was read to the crowd. The letter praised Dennis Feduk’s ‘Pie of the Month Club’ and the bidder said that this year, they would let someone else enjoy such a special prize. “There’s friendship baked into a golden delicious crust or Nanaimo bars, or homemade perogies . . . Dennis also delivers a smile, a kind word, a story from his travels near and far, or an ear to bend, no matter what
(left) As the Carlyle & District Lions Club held their 24th annual fundraising supper, auction, and raffle, they also honoured longtime member, Gord Savill of Carlyle, who passed away in December 2014.

you need.” With over 500 live auction, silent auction, and raffle items, both auctioneer Cutler and a team of runners kept the event moving with humour and a sense of fun. Wilson says the Lions Club appreciates “every bit of support we receive.” “We had so many donations, that we used Jermey and Sonia Wilson’s shop over the last few weeks to store them and organize them,” he says. “There are so many thank yous to hand out for this event-our sponsors, our donors, our volunteers, everyone who buys a ticket to attend, our auctioneer, our caterers...There are just so many businesses, groups, and individuals to thank.” “Next year will be our 25th auction and dinner,” says Walker. “We’re really looking forward to that one. This evening has been excellent and we’re hoping the next one will be, too.” “Because the community supports this one so well, the Lions can support the community.” Men and women are invited to join the Carlyle & District Lions Club.

From page 2 - Moose Mountain Ag Day “These two weather patterns-the 18-year-cycle and El Nino-will create a certain spring on the prairies,” says Lerner. “There will be periods of drier bias conditions and periods of rain over 60 days through the April/ May spring season. There will be periods of precipitation, but it will be average periodically.” “You’re still going to have rain, but it’s not going to be the largevolume storms that we’ve had. With all this moisture in the ground, it’s already saturated. With one big storm, there could be standing water, but overall, it’s encouraging.” “For the summer season-from June through August-the temperature bias will be slightly warmer, but there will definitely be some shots of cool air. The cool air will go back and forth with warmer air all through the planting season,” Lerner added. “But there will be below-average precipitation.” Worldwide, Lerner stated that Russia is currently facing “the potential of losing a lot of crop. They’re worried about a winterkill issue and within the next four weeks, we should know. If there’s potential for winterkill, commodity prices rise.” “It’s also a potential issue in parts of the U.S, but it’s far less significant,” added Lerner. “The potential damage in Russia will be significant, if it occurs.” Lerner also said that three provinces in northeastern China experienced drought during the summer of 2014. “These areas grow corn, soybeans, spring wheat, and sugar beets. If the dryness expands, this could have the most potential to influence world markets and prices.” “I think things are cooling to he extent, that we’re looking at a shorter growing season, because of a cool atmosphere in general,” he added. “Just keep that in the back of your minds.” “Bottom line for you guys this year, is that it will be a better year. There are still potential problems with the possibility of pooling water here, but once you’re over that hump, things will be much better than they’ve been.” David Pattyson of the Upper Souris Watershed Association (USWA) Wetland Restoration Program also addressed the issue of water and the importance of working with nature, rather than against it, telling attendees, “There are several benefits of wetlands restoration. Wetlands act as a natural filter against pesticides, fertlizers, and natural fertilizers, among other benefits. Wetland is simply land restored to its natural state.”
Citing a personal example, Pattyson recalled the removal of a few trees from his acreage last year. “By just removing a few trees from my yard changed how snow piles in my yard.” “Just a few small changes in the landscape can actually make an impact,” he added. “Through the wetlands restoration, producers can put (land) back to where it once was. There are benefits to the reclamation process, and funding is available.” “We also work to ensure that neighbours are unaffected.” Etienne Soulodre and Neil Hodges from the Water Security Agency also cited the importance of water-related issues for the agriculture industry. “This is all part of a long conversation,” said Soulodre. “But it’s ultimately about the people side of stuff. Generally, when sloughs are drained, grain farmers gain money, and cattle farmers lose money. Taking current realities into account, we have to think about the economics of this stuff.” Souloudre and Hodges have worked together on reclamation projects throughout the province and their presentation contained several slides of successful wetland recoveries. “There are benefits,” said Souludre. “But we have to use a reasonable, win-win approach and remember that there’s a people side in this and recognize there’s a middle road.” Dr. Jeff Schoenau of the University of Saskatchewan discussed phosphorus management, calling the mineral “the energy currency of life.” “If you can’t replace it fast enough, you need fertilizer.” Schoenau offered alternatives to fertilizer, including crop rotations, the use of perennial legumes, and long-term no-till. “ G e n e r a l l y, phosphorus increased when a crop was grown on a legume stubble, rather than a non-legume stubble.” “But soil health is not easy to measure,” he added. “It’s a benefit, folks, but not an easy thing to measure.” Kevin Elmy of Friendly Acres Seed Farm in Saltcoats also discussed the benefits of crop rotation, specifically referring to ranch land. “When you’re deciding which cover crop to use, you need to know why you’re doing it,” said Elmy. “You need to have goals and whether you’re using it for green feed, silage or grazing, that will affect what you should use as a cover crop.” Calling radishes “ The rock star of the cover crops in the U.S.,” Elmy’s

Blake Brownridge, owner of Arcola’s Ridgeline Ag Services says having a booth at Moose Mountain Ag Day is, “A good chance to interact and network with our customers.” Brownridge is a Dupont Pioneer sales agent, and sells seed, including canola, corn, and sunflower. presentation also featured slides demonstrating the effectiveness of other cover crops, such as kale, sugar beets, and crimson clover. Jodie Griffin, program coordinator for Saskatchewan Crop Insurance presented an overview of the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program (WLPIP) and focused on 2015’s calf program. “It’s all about managing risk,” she said. “Long-term planning is critical, even though prices are good right now.” Sandy Russell of Spring Creek Consulting called 2014 “a phenomenal year” for cattle producers. “We had record highs and it was a perfect storm for producers.” “However, although the good news story for the cattle market in 2014 and 2015 is demand,” said Russell, “We have to remember that this business is a cyclical one and as Canadian producers, we have to keep in mind that overall, the cattle markets are driven by what happens in the U.S., and we just have to accept that.” Due to the size of the much larger U.S. cattle industry and its effect on Canadian producers, Russell urged local cattle producers to try non-traditional ways of marketing their products, in addition to the “traditional trip to the auction mart .” “We’re now in the information age,” she said. “We’ve shifted from an industrial age to an information age.” “That includes the
cattle industry. Information is at our fingertips-yours, mine, and the consumers’. So in addition to marketing, we can use social media as a tool to address issues
within our industry and to communicate with our customers.” Blake Brownridge of Arcola’s Ridgeline Ag Services echoed that sentiment from his booth at the trade show, saying, “(Moose Mountain Ag Day) is a good chance to interact and network with our customers so we can learn more about what they need from us and we can
also let them know what we have to offer.” One of the event’s organizers, Lorne Klein from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture summed up the day by saying, “We’re certainly encouraged by today’s attendance. This event has been consistently well-attended and we’re encouraged to put it on again next year.”

Turning a dream into a reality By Kelly Running At the age of 12-yearsold Pierre Cloutier was given his first horse from his parents and a dream to cross Canada formed. Now, at 40-years-old, Cloutier has spent four months on the road with his two horses, Bobby and Kelly, on his way to the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. Cloutier began his journey on Nov. 6 in Saint Barnabé-Sud and he has been winding his way through the country to fulfill his lifelong dream. “At 12-years-old when I got my first horse on the dairy farm I decided this was something I wanted to do,” Cloutier explained. “When you get older you have responsibilities and a life, so I didn’t focus on travelling across the country.” “Life kind of pushed me to do this, I hadn’t really planned on it, but I was working 20 hours at work and my girlfriend and I parted ways. If I wanted to go this was my time.” Originally Cloutier planned on being on his own. He had stocked up his two wagons with seven days of necessities. His intention was to rough it along the way, expecting to be in the bush; but, as he began travelling he discovered that people along the way are willing
to share in his dream and he has found places to stay each night. “The plan is not happening the way I thought it would, I thought I’d be in the bush by myself, but this is a lot better way of it happening,” Cloutier stated. “When the people first came across the prairies they travelled from East to West and now I’m doing that same thing. And this is the way they often travelled, they would stop along the way at people’s houses and they would be given a bit of bread and stay in the barn for the night.” “I’m doing this the exact way people 200 years ago would have. In those times they were heading out to B.C. to look for gold, and I’m looking for gold too, just not the same as those people. I’m looking for my gold. I believe everyone has their own gold they go out and look for.” Along the way Cloutier says people have been wonderful. Since the first person who gave him a place to stay stopped him on the road, Cloutier has had a place for he and his team to stay each night. One person calls down the road to line up a few different nights stay, then the next does, and the word is sent along the road that a traveler is making his way across the country. “I thought I’d go

on this trip and it would be personal,” Cloutier explained. “People like what I’m doing though and people have opened their doors to help me every day.” “When I reach B.C. I hope to keep dreaming and one of my other dreams right now is to play in a country music band. I keep a diary with me and will write songs about my experiences. Hopefully sometime I will be back with a show and maybe pay back those that have helped me. Nothing in life is free and I need to find a way to pay people back.” While speaking to The Observer, Cloutier was readying his team for their journey from Gord and Lorna Dickison’s to Andy and Sandra Robertson’s. He carefully and caringly adjusted the harnesses on Bobby and Kelly wanting to ensure his animals were comfortable. He checked them over, inspecting their hooves then their bodies for any scratches they may have. Cloutier also explained that he would like to pick up a second team of horses midway through Saskatchewan as well to continue his journey towards the Rocky Mountains. A true story of making dreams come to life, Cloutier encourages everyone to follow their dreams and most

Bobby and Kelly are taking Pierre Cloutier across Canada. They began on Nov. 6 in Saint Barnabé-Sud and have been taking their time crossing the country to British Columbia. Cloutier dreamed at 12-years-old he would cross the country with his horse and recently he decided to make this dream a reality by moving to B.C. importantly believe in themselves. “I’ve had my dream since I was 12,” Cloutier stated. “I’m now 40 and the hardest part was believing
that I could do it. It took years to reach my dream, but most importantly you don’t have to ask yourself which way it will happen just now that it can.” To track where
Cloutier is and for more information as he makes his way to B.C., he can be found on Facebook through searching “Pierre Cloutier, Traversée du Canada cheval.”

Party With a Purpose: Arcola Daycare’s first ‘Little Black Dress Event’ a sold-out success By Lynne Bell The ladies of southeast Saskatchewan got their glam on and partied for a purpose at the Arcola Daycare’s firstever ‘Little Black Dress Event’ held Saturday, March 8 at Prairie Place Hall. The hall was transformed into an elegant dining, wining, shopping, and dancing venue, decorated in black, white, and shades of pink. Over 300 women of all ages-including two baby girls in tiny black dresses- cheered when daycare committee members, Ghislaine Carter and Michelle Cundall opened the event with a promise to do it all again next year. “We want to make this an annual event and we want you to look forward to it,” said Cundall. “The Arcola Daycare was created to provide high-quality childcare in Arcola and the surrounding area,” added Cundall. “Last year, we were informed that we would need to do extensive renovations to our daycare facility to maintain our current licensing. As a board, we decided to begin
renting Coteau Place with the intention of eventually purchasing this facility. As of November 2014, we have been operating out of our new facility and the staff and children couldn’t be happier.” Carter then called her fellow board members to the stage, where she led a toast to them. “This night would not have happened without the hard work of the ladies who stand before you,” she said. Carter says the Arcola Daycare’s board and staff are striving to make the facility financially selfsufficient. “We want to make our fundraisers innovative, exciting events that are unique occasions that people are happy to support. We want them to come to our events because they enjoy them, not because they feel obligated to support us.” “With the ‘Little Black Dress Event’, we deliberately didn’t canvass for silent auction items. Some people heard we were holding it and came forward with items, which we gratefully accepted. A lot of people asked why we didn’t canvass them for
donations, but we will be doing that for our Spring Fling in April.” “With our ‘Little Black Dress Event’ and our ‘Trip of the Month’ draws, we are trying to create unique ways to fundraise that will be self-supporting. We are so grateful for the fantastic support we receive, but we don’t want to always be asking people for contributions. We’d like to also offer them something of value, as well, so they can support us that way, if they choose to.” “Each of our 14 vendors at the event paid $50,” adds Carter. “That bought them a seat at the vendors’ table and a chance to enjoy the dinner, too. We also asked each of them to donate a door prize, and they gave us some wonderful items.” The evening’s menu included a main course of mushroom chicken, along with an array of salads and a dessert bar, prepared by Shelley and David Slykhuis. While David said grace, his wife took the evening off to enjoy the event. “I think it’s great for women to get together and have some fun,” Shelley

It’s a fantastic cure for the winter blues.” Jessica Shirley of Carlyle agreed, saying, “It’s an awesome event and a great idea.” Although the entire daycare committee, staff, and numerous other volunteers worked hard to transform Prairie Place Hall into a chic, girly venue, the creative touches of committee member Cathy Burton of Arcola were everywhere. Mason jars were covered with white and black lace and trimmed with pearl beads, washroom doors were decorated with black and white bows, and even the pink mints on the tables were made in Burton’s kitchen. In addition, each guest received a ‘Keep Calm, It’s Ladies’ Night’ tote bag custom-made for the occasion. Throughout the evening women of all ages enjoyed shopping, wining, dining, dancing to the Duelling Pianos, laughing, and catching up with friends, according to Carter. “We had women from Arcola, Kisbey, Willmar,
Lampman, Manor, Carlyle, White Bear, Kenosee Lake, Bienfait, Estevan, and Regina,” she said. “I noticed a lot of moms and daughters and daughtersin-law spending an evening together.” “Because we’re a daycare, it’s especially great for us to see moms splurging on a dress, or getting their hair and nails done, or simply taking a little time for themselves and enjoying a nice dinner and entertainment with friends. We don’t do that often enough.” Carter says the Arcola Daycare board and staff are already committed
to making this fun night dedicated to women an annual event. “The comment cards that the women attending filled out indicated that they’d like it to continue to be an event where they can dress up, so we’re definitely planning a version of what our first ‘Little Black Dress Event’ looked like, but we may tweak it a bit to keep it fresh and fun.” “We haven’t done our final tally yet, but we’re very happy with the evening, and we’re already looking forward to planning next year’s edition.”

Manor Library welcomed local author Tanya Reimer By Kelly Running Local author, Tanya Reimer of Bellegarde, has recently released two novels, Ghosts on the Prairies and Petrified. Stopping by the Manor Library on Monday, March 2, she read from her books to students from Manor School and was there to answer questions that afternoon. Reimer is currently working on books two and three within the Sacred Land series - Ghosts on the Prairies being the first in the series - and has a separate series she is considering having published as well. “I’ve been writing my whole life,” Reimer said. “There’s no start or end to it. I started writing when I was in high school regularly for the Redvers Optimist.” Reimer had a regular column in The Optimist, which is where she allowed her love of writing grow and evolve. At the age of 18, Reimer had successfully written a book and although it wasn’t published, it was a huge accomplishment. “The very first one I wrote when I was 18, but it wasn’t very good,” Reimer laughed; however, she does acknowledge it was a necessary book to write. “It was a very good learning experience. The book was a murder mystery, so I learned about red herrings and how to keep suspense.” Reimer continued to work at her craft and this passion for writing led her to the two novels released this year. Ghosts on the Prairies developed through research Reimer had done in the area. “I was doing research for a story about my grandma, but that story never really turned out,” Reimer explained. “I would be researching and certain facts would trigger my imagination and off it went.”
“This one is focused on Francophone history and pioneers mostly around 1918.” Described by Reimer as being speculative fiction, Ghosts on the Prairies, follows the main protagonist, Antoine, and is set in the prairies in the early 1900s. From bootleggers, to slavery, to exploding churches, the novel delves into a fantasy world based heavily on the history of the prairies while adding a paranormal twist. This novel is directed towards an adult readership, while her other novel, Petrified, is categorized as a Young Adult novel. “I had written Petrified for the kids years ago, the kids told me they were sick of me writing all the time and wanting a story for them to read, so this is a kids version of another series of historical books about Whisperers,” Reimer explained. “Petrified, though, is about Whisperers in the future and is based out of Moose Jaw.” “I didn’t intend to publish it, but I revisited it a few times and thought that it could be.” Petrified is set in 2115 and is again what Reimer calls, speculative fiction. It focuses on Gabe, the main protagonist, who is on the run and is focused on defeating the bogies who took his brother. “They’re speculative fiction so it’s a different mindset, it’s fantasy,” Reimer stated. For those who enjoy fantasy novels, they will be enthralled by the stories Reimer is telling. This process of storytelling was easy for Reimer to complete; the difficult aspect was having her books published. “It was a long process,” Reimer said of publishing her works. “I revisited my work a lot and being happy with it, it can never be perfect but to a point that it looked good, I began looking for an agent.
It’s very difficult to find one in Canada if you’re not already published. I decided that my two books might not need an agent and began looking for a publisher. I was picky about who I was sending them to and it took about a year and a half to do that, then another six months to find out if anyone was interested in publishing them. Each one has their own publisher.” Now Reimer is tasked with promoting her books, which she has found quite interesting as well. “You go from doing everything alone, you’re writing alone, and then you have to get out there to do interviews, do book signings, talk to book store owners, and talking to fans has been interesting.” “You get all sorts of comments, there were a couple people who told me they had tears in their eyes at different points in the book and it’s good to have that feedback.” Reimer is currently polishing two other novels in her Sacred Land series and is looking to publish the series, Petrified, based on, The Legend of Whisperers which she is also working on. When asked if she had any advice for young writers with similar interests, Reimer gave four main points: “Definitely write every day, that’s very important. Take criticism, but know how to use it. Ask others for advice, especially other writers. And most importantly go out and live, you need experience.” Though Reimer says she hasn’t built a sod house, she does say the research and efforts she’s put into knowing her subject matter means she would be able to walk someone through it. It’s the knowledge of their surroundings and how things work that allows authors to present a realistic world, something tangible, even if it’s set in an alternate reality where fantasy is prevalent.

Local author, Tanya Reimer of Bellegarde, held a book reading and signing at the Manor Library on Monday, March 2. “It’s interesting all the things you learn,” Reimer explained. “You can research for days and hours on end to just have a trickle of little things in your novels, but it’s the little details,
the lantern casting shadows, that makes the setting real.” The students from Manor School present for the reading thoroughly enjoyed meeting a local au-
thor and were excited by the content of the books. Reimer’s books are most easily available through her website: http://tanyareimerauthor. wix.com/books.

Moose Mountain Knights of Columbus hold annual Snowmobile Derby By Lynne Bell The Moose Mountain Knights of Columbus held their 21st Annual Snowmobile Derby fundraiser at Jerry Weber’s farm Sunday, March 8. The family-oriented event drew 43 riders from Carlyle, Arcola, Lampman, Oxbow, and Wapella, who rode the 50-mile-long trail, and later, returned to Weber’s farm for barbequed burgers and prize presentations. “We’ve got a beautiful day for it,” said Knights of Columbus member, Weber, who has hosted the event at his farm for over 15 years. Fellow Knights of Columbus member, George Anderson said, “It started
off small, but for the past 10 year’s the snowmobile derby has grown.” “We usually raise between $2,500 and $3,000,” added Anderson. “With that, we’re able to help maintain the camps at Kenosee, help the pool by doing the dinner for Boogie Fest, and also help individuals who are in need privately-for example, if a child has to go out of town for medical treatment.” Snowmobile derby committee member Ray Boutin agreed. “Our members are from Carlyle, Oxbow, Carnduff, and Cantal Parish, which encompasses Alida and Manor areas.” “It’s a low-key, family
event,” said Boutin. “We try to make it fun for everyone. We have a canteen on site with barbequed burgers and other stuff and our sponsors always donate really great rider prizes. We also have some cash prizes.” “The funds we raise at this event and all of our other fundraising allows us to promote our mission, which includes maintaining the Kenosee Boys and Girls Music Camp and the Mother Theresa Center.” “We also donate to the pool in Carlyle and contribute to Christmas hampers, as well as other things that come up throughout the year.” “It’s a low-key, family event and it’s a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.”

OBSERVER SPORTS Arcola Curling Club history
Staff photo by Lynne Bell
The Arcola Curling Club was honoured by CURLSASK with a plaque recognizing the Club’s 100-year anniversary. This historical milestone was celebrated Saturday, March 7, during the Club’s final fun bonspiel of the season. A curling cake celebrating the Club’s history was created by Sandra Wright. Pictured at the presentation are: (l-r) McKenna Harkness, Melissa Ellis, oldest club member, George Butt, 94, Terri Lees, Kylee Dixon, Kiara Bates, Jenna Bates, and future curler, Renessa Lees. (Submitted) The first skating rink and curling rink in Arcola was built in 1901. It was a low-frame building with the skating rink in the centre and a sheet of curling ice on each side. The second rink was built around 1912, with a hip roof rink and a lean-to for two sheets of curling ice. In the summer of 1929, it was destroyed by a windstorm and was torn down in 1930. The third rink was built in the early ‘30s, with Dr. MacRae paying for the
materials and the construction done by volunteers. The rink consisted of two sheets of curling ice with a walkway in the middle. The skating rink was an outdoor rink. The fourth was the Arcola Memorial Rink, built in 1947-48, to honour the brave men and women who fought in the Second World War. With the help of volunteers, a rink and curling rink was constructed in six months. This consisted of two hip roof buildings, with a walkway joining the two buildings. The curling rink had three sheets of ice.
On September 27, 2001, the Arcola Memorial Rink was destroyed by an earlymorning fire. The current rink and curling rink was built adjacent to Prairie Place Hall. The rink was completed in 2002. The three-sheet curling rink was constructed by volunteers and was completed in time for the Boxing Day Bonspiel in 2004. The hall, skating rink and curling rink is now known as Prairie Place Complex, and as always in Arcola, the skating rink and curling rink have always gone hand-inhand.

Lothian rink winners at Carlyle 49’ers annual bonspiel The perfect comearound, the in-off to the button and the angle raise to count one...these were the shots that teams at the Brier in Calgary were making, but teams at the Carlyle Curling Club were also making these kinds of shots when 10 rinks took part in the annual 49’ers bonspiel March 2, 3 and 4. Local rinks plus teams from Kipling, Arcola, Whitewood, Wawota and Carnduff enjoyed three days of curling. Some games were close, some were lopsided, there were some “called” shots and some “not called” shots, but every end saw lots of rocks in play, and with a house like that, you never knew what might happen. Jack and Diane Wilson did a wonderful job of providing lunches all three days, and on Wednesday evening curlers and guests enjoyed a delicious A&W chicken supper and everyone was hoping to have the lucky ticket number for the raffle prizes. Ray Lothian and his rink were the winners of the A Event and will have their names engraved on the Tom Dovell Millennium trophy. They defeated Kent Holland and his rink from Carlyle in the final game. Third in the event went to the Doug Rintoul foursome and fourth to Jerome Hoffmann and his rink. The B Event was won by Al Kolman and his rink from Whitewood. They defeated the Marlene Gies foursome from Kipling in the final, with third going to George Eisler from Wawota and fourth to Larry Chapman from Arcola. Arol Phair and his rink from Carnduff defeated the Lorne Perry foursome of Arcola in the C Event final. The 49’ers curling season has come to a close and everyone will soon be looking forward to the arrival of spring and enjoying a great summer!

Pee Cougars head into second round of playoffs Carrie Pelletier Sports Contributor The first round of the 2015 playoffs saw the Carlyle Cougars face off against the Kipling Royals on home ice February 26th. The Cougars came out ready to play and dominated the 1st period, jumping out to a 3-0 lead. Kipling came out hard in the second. Quick feet and constant pressure netted them two power plays; the young Blue Shirts were up to the task defensively however, leaving Kipling unable to capitalize on the man advantage. Both teams found the net in the last five minutes of the period, giving the Cougars a 4-1 lead after the 2nd. The third period saw the Cougars play the shut-
down game to perfection. The action was fast paced, but there was just nothing there for Kipling. Cougars take game one 4-1. Game two of the Cougars first round series was on the 28th in Kipling. Once again, Carlyle brought their A game. The Young Cats hit the score sheet 6 minutes in, and inked three more by the end of the period for a 4-1 lead. The second was a high octane affair with both teams bulging twine three times, leaving the Cougars up 7-4 after two. The Cougars knew the Royals were going to come out hard in the third with their season on the line; they put the best defence is a good offence strategy in play, scoring two minutes in and squash-
ing all hope of a Royal comeback. The Cougars have struggled with secondary scoring at times this year. They were however, able to bring that weapon to bear in their first round series against the Royals. Kenna Hagel, Cody Hofos, Trey Baker, and Degan Galbraith put constant pressure on the puck. And the aforementioned Hofos was dynamite in the faceoff circle as well. The Cougars will need all that and more as they have drawn the league leading Carnduff Red Devils in the second round, with game one in Carnduff Sunday March 8th. Goooooooooo Cougars!!!!!!!

Vipers 18U team earns Tier 3 silver Submitted by the Southeast Vipers Volleyball Club The Southeast Vipers 18U team attended their second Sask. Cup in Saskatoon on Saturday, March 7, and Sunday, March 8. On Saturday the team struggled against Loreburn Impact and Tisdale Xtreme Kaos, but were able to defeat the Montmartre Volleyball Club in a revenge match from the last Sask. Cup. This put the Vipers into third in their pool and set them up to face QCVC Royal 17U, a team the Vipers had earned a win over last Sask Cup. The Royal came out playing hard and were able to edge the Vipers out in the crossover match. The next day, however, the girls played some of their best volleyball as they came out determined in the first match against the Saskatoon Connex Volleyball Club 17U. Following this they met the Martinsville 18U team where they took another win. Still playing well the girls went into a playoff match against the Macklin Vipers 18U team. This match went to three sets and the girls never backed down as they continued to play their hardest. They went undefeated on the Sunday earning their way to the Division 2 Tier 3 gold medal match against the Prince Albert Toppers 18U team. The girls played hard, but despite tough fights and long rallies they were unable to overtake the Prince Albert team. This left the Vipers 18U team to earn silver in Division 2 Tier 3 amongst 27 teams. Overall it was a great weekend with the girls playing some of their best volleyball of the year on the Sunday. Next action for the 18U will be in Saskatoon for Sask Cup 3 on the weekend of March 21, while the Vipers 15U team will compete in Oxbow on Saturday, March 14.

Opinion
Making the most of mistakes By Shelley Luedtke
I
f the lyrics “raindrops on roses” and “the hills are alive…” run trippingly off the tongue, you are familiar, perhaps overly familiar, with the musical “The Sound of Music.” First performed on Broadway in 1959 it plays on stages all around the world in an array of languages to an estimated 600,000 theatre patrons each year. The story was immortalized on screen with the 1965 release of the movie starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer which went on to win five Academy Awards and years later become a broadcast staple. I have watched the movie more times than is wise and have seen many different theatre companies stage the show. One of my favorites was in Vancouver--a Theatre Under the Stars production in Stanley Park. As the actress playing Maria Von Trapp was about to teach her young charges to sing, she reached into her guitar case only to discover the guitar wasn’t there. The audience, familiar with the story and fully aware of the prop oversight, laughed along as the actress ad libbed her way through the moment and carried on with the scene. Mistakes can, and do, happen to performers all the time. A cape that was tied too tightly around Madonna’s neck caused her to fall during a performance at an awards show. Beyonce suffered the same fate a few years back when she tripped on her coat and fell down a dozen stairs. YouTube is filled with clips of celebrity performers taking tumbles, forgetting lyrics or getting hung up on their costumes. In all these instances the performers did exactly what they are taught to do--carry on as if nothing is amiss. It works great as a philosophy for the stage but not one that is necessarily well-suited to life. Mistakes are part of the reality of maneuvering through each day. There exists the possibility that something will go awry and we will find ourselves managing the consequences to a greater or lesser extent. But dealing with those very consequences is what matters most. We shouldn’t see ourselves as performers in this life--performers who pretend that mistakes don’t matter and simply carry on with the show. We need to be upfront and accountable and treat mistakes not as something to be ignored and covered over, but as opportunities for things to be explored and laid bare. Therein lies the gold since therein lies the value. In acknowledging our mistakes we learn a great deal. We learn to admit we are fallible. We learn to find a different way of doing something. We learn to
look at the details with a different eye. We learn to take a step back. We learn to embrace a new perspective. We learn the skill of starting over. That’s a lot that can come from something we wish had never happened. But if it hadn’t happened we wouldn’t then be able to tuck away and call upon all the lessons that we need to embrace tomorrow. If it hadn’t happened we wouldn’t have the experience necessary to help ourselves or others navigate the next situation. But the most crucial thing our errors teach us is that there is freedom in acknowledging and recognizing we are not perfect--nor should we strive to be. Thinking mistakes need to be ignored is to live in ignorance of all that can be gleaned from admitting there is still more to understand… more to experience…more to be taught. Everything we can learn makes the mistakes tremendously valuable. It doesn’t make sense to pretend we didn’t spill cereal, or call a wrong number or miss a deadline or forget a meeting. Nothing is gained by attempting to ignore the errors. Rather, we need to sweep, apologize, focus, prioritize or do whatever else might be needed to clean up and move forward. Mistakes can be mercifully private or spectacularly public but that’s not how they should be measured. It’s not the mistake or its venue that matters but recognizing that it puts us in a fine class--right alongside every other person we share this journey with. When we commit to learning the lessons being offered and to reach out in graciousness to others with the same forgiveness we need ourselves, our mistakes won’t be a stumbling block but rather a jumping off point. That’s my outlook.
Opinion A question I can’t answer By Kelly Running
Reading through the news I happened upon a question which I’m not sure I have an answer to. The article is found on CBC and is titled “Genetic risk: Should doctors warn you about incidental findings?” The article then talks about genomic sequencing and if doctors are screening for a disease, but happen to discover a genetic condition unrelated to why the doctor ordered the test should they tell you. The example they used included testing for colon cancer. The test to see if colon cancer was caused through genetics also points out risks to one’s future health such as a predisposition to develop Alzheimer’s. Is this something you would like to know and if it is, how would that information change your view towards life? According to a study by Dean Regier of the BC Cancer Agency, which was referenced in the article by CBC, of 1,200 adults most responded that they would appreciate being told about high-risk disease disorders with at least an 80 percent lifetime risk, IF there were effective medical or lifestyle intervention available. For anything which did not have an effective way to manage the disease, however, people who participated in the study said it was useless information to have because there was nothing they could do about it anyway. Regier and the group helping to conduct the study concluded that, “The results indicate that to maximize benefit, participant-level preferences should inform the decision about whether to

return incidental findings.” So, if someone conducts a test which shows you may develop a genetic condition would you want to know? It’s not something that you were expecting to hear and I don’t think they can say definitively that you would develop the condition, but my understanding is that they can provide an educated and scientific percentage that you would. It’s something I’ve been asking myself since reading the article and in some instances I think it would be good to know because you could take preventative steps well in advance. You can keep on the best research out there and be knowledgeable about the condition if it comes to the point of you developing it. But, on the other hand it seems like doing this could possibly completely change how you are as a person. Would you begin to worry about the “what if’s” more than you would living your life? Would life become less enjoyable because you know hanging over your head is an 85 percent chance you’ll develop Alzheimer’s? After reading the article I scrolled down to the comments where people wrote their opinions. One individual had written, “The whole point of going to a doctor is medical diagnosis and treatment. Either we do this, as the only way to truly deal with health issues, or we eliminate doctor visits altogether.” Another commenter said, “The issue is a lot of the genetic conditions you can screen for have no early treatment. So all that ends up happening is you live knowing that maybe, someday you will develop this debilitating condition and there’s nothing you can do about it.” Another voice actually went away from what it means to the individual regarding their health, but what it means to insurance companies and if having something like that on your medical file mean the insurance company will refuse to take you on as a client or revoke insurance based on this information or increase the rates of insurance to that individual. It was interesting to read through these because they are all valid concerns regarding the future of genome testing, but as I sit here pondering the question of would I or wouldn’t I want to know… I can’t seem to make up my mind. Would you want to know or not?

Everybody gets chicken and our expiry date
A
mystery that all of us grapple with sooner or later is the mystery surrounding death. We can joke about it and dodge around it, but in the end we are all in the same boat. We are born with an expiration date. Death, it can be argued, came about after God’s plan was adjusted to accommodate Adam and Eve’s (our) failings. But we are all in the plan. Some of us are more conscious of its unfolding and make deliberate adjustments. In the end we all get chicken – heavenly fried, we hope; the wines clear and well aged (Isaiah 25:6). We resist accepting the natural decay that takes our loved ones from us. The popularity of Glen Campbell’s song “I’m not gonna miss you” at this year’s Oscars is an example of this preoccupation. The pain and struggle of Alzheimer’s addresses loss and grieving from an unusual angle. The patient says, “You’re the last person I will love, the last face I will recall; but I’m not gonna miss you.” I would like to add my own final verse to the song: I’m gonna keep you in my heart Even after you are gone Remember the joy and not the pain And I’d do it all again But, I’m gonna miss you. In the very first episode of Breaking Bad, Walter White tells his students that the essence of chemistry and life itself is “growth, then decay, then transformation.” In her column “Walter White’s Life lessons — Breaking Bad” Natarro (Nikki Tarrant-Hoskins) says, “If you believe in the transformation of life, then getting through the days and moments of nursing someone with a terminal illness will no doubt be easier. “At the very least, you can cling to the faith that as a primary care-giver, you’re easing your loved one through and past the pain and suffering of their final journey. What a privilege and responsibility this is.” Annie Dilliard asserts: “One should write as if posthumously…Write as if you were dying. At the same time, assume you write for an audience consisting solely of terminal patients. That is, after all, the case.” In a related article Tarrant-Hoskins says, “What could you say to a dying person that would not enrage by its triviality? …It all has the most profound purpose and meaning. Will there ever be a more important time or place? “The last breathe, the last heartbeat, the wrenching open of the veil that moves our loved one away from pain forever. Words do not matter. Being there matters. There is no right or wrong, so you don’t have to worry about getting it right. “You just have to show up. There will never be another moment that compares to this in life…the last kiss, the last embrace, the last conscious moment that you’ll ever share. Don’t squander a word, a syllable; don’t squander a second.” Phillipe Aries wrote: “A single person is missing for you, and the whole world is empty.” As Christians we have hope, and in all circumstances we still have reason to give thanks. “Let God’s promises shine on your problems.” Corrie Ten Boom. “Darkness cannot put out the Light. It can only make God brighter.” Author Unknown

Through the Lens
By Moose Mountain Photography Club
Each person is an enigma. You’re a puzzle not only to yourself but also to everyone else, and the great mystery of our time is how we penetrate this puzzle. ~ Theodore Zeldin
Being moral & being kind By Rev. David Koshy
E
veryone, anyone wants their writing to be read by many people and I am not an exception- thank you for deciding to read my discourse about morality. I hope you enjoy reading the following lines which I am going to pen down for you. No doubt it is a subject that central to the ‘life’ in our community. A community which is not governed with certain moral code would certainly cease to exist. CHOOSE TO LIVE OR DIE. IF YOU CHOOSE TO LIVE. THE QUESTION IS HOW TO LIVE. THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION ‘HOW’ IS ‘MORALITY’ Morality is a common word most of us use occasionally in our daily conversations. This English word morality is derived from
the Latin root ` moralitas’means character, behavior, standard or the firing force which direct a person take decision on a particular event. There is no father or mother do not want their children to be moral in this world- irrespective of the educational background, live in city or in a village, hold the executive job or daily labor, every stable individual sincerely desire their children to be moral in their life. What is morality-? Morality is being reasonable in life and to the ‘life’ in this world. Commonly there is a narrow understanding about morality among us – morality is being faithful to the life partner, abstain from sexual contact with many partners, and so on..

Ainsley Wright
There is a tendency to narrow down the scope of this beautiful word morality however morality in real sense of the energy of life. Morality can be.. The source of ‘life’ The driving force for all The actions and life patterns The way a person evaluate a situation The methodology in which we build our career What is the best method we can transmit morality is a potential question Benjamin Franklin the founding father of the United State writes “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn” The best to teach morality is to live moral in front of children. Now then! Is it possible?
Yes, it is possible even when you are a person as you are . . . Be kind to yourself and learn to forgive yourself, then automatically you will learn to forgive others. There are many among us who are unable to be kind to ourselves as a result unable to forgive ourselves. This causes emitting negative energy from the self that leads a person to act on behalf of the negative energy. Actions motivated by negative energy make a person act non reasonable and irrational. To be rational and moral in living become less stressful when we start to be kind to the self and to forgive the self. Remember if you want to change the world change yourself- let it begin from you.

Setting a goal
ADVERTISING WORKS!
CALL 453-2525
By Linda Wegner So now that you’ve determined where you want to go in your career, what’s the next step? An excerpt from my book 3D Success: Changing Careers in Mid Life puts it this way. “Simply parking by the side of the road, convinced that you need to alter your course, is not enough. You need to know where you’re ultimately headed. You’ve decided the direction, but now it’s time to focus on taking the right road. Although you don’t have

all the details worked out, be clear about the things you want to change in your career.” Whether it’s a matter of a career change or a personal problem that needs to be addressed, trying to create change without a clear vision of the next step in that change can be compared to reading a road map with less than perfect vision. The results can range from wasted time to disaster and that’s where goal setting comes in. Setting goals can involve proven guidelines and suggestions as well as well designed templates but the exercise also needs to incorporate your personal dreams and desires. Not only that, your reasons for wanting to reach those
goals must be positive, attractive, compelling and appealing. Be assured that there will be potholes in the road but knowing where and why you are headed in a particular direction makes it easier to define your target. It’s essential that you pin down what you really want in this new phase of your life and although you can’t possible predict all that will take place during the process, without a clearly stated objective, creating a plan becomes virtually impossible. Above all, never forget that God loves you and wants you to succeed. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “…plans to give you hope and a future.”

The annual fundraising supper, raffle, and auction hosted by the Carlyle & District Lions Club traditionally results in a packed house, and the 24th edition of the event on Tuesday, March 5 at the Carlyle Memorial Hall was no exception.
Event auctioneer Ward Cutler of Virden, Manitoba returned to his hometown to mark a milestone of his own. A renowned auctioneer in both Canada and the U.S., Cutler has faithfully returned to oversee the Lions annual fundraiser for the 20th year. Cutler kept the crowd enthralled-and bidding-with his sense of humour and his auctioneering technique.

A buffet featuring salads, pork, turkey, and trifle was catered by Linda Chapman and Eileen Corrigan of Arcola. “We’ve been catering this event for years, and we’re happy to support it, because it’s a great event that gives back,” says Corrigan. Pictured are the evening’s kitchen staffers (l-r) Darlene Chapman, Charlene Stephenson, Rene Matz, Linda Chapman, Charlene Chapman, Eileen Corrigan, and Derryl Chapman.
Lions Club members Frank Faber and Myrla Holland do a last-minute check of the hundreds of raffle prizes and auction items before the 24th edition of the Carlyle & District Lions Club annual fundraiser begins. “The generosity and support the Lions Club receives from businesses and individuals from the community allows the Lions to give the funds raised from this event back to the community,” says Holland.

OBSERVER AGRICULTURE Agriculture in the classroom By Calvin Daniels There are few initiatives in agriculture which make more sense than Agriculture in the Classroom. An initiative Canada wide here in Saskatchewan it provides innovative, curriculum-based programs and resources to help increase students’ awareness and understanding of agriculture. What that really means is students are taught that agriculture matters. With the recent Agriculture Literacy Week in Saskatchewan (March 1-7), I was afforded an opportunity to see the efforts of Ag in the Classroom first hand. Grade 4 students at Columbia School in Yorkton
were among students in 161 classrooms to take part in the launch of a new school resource with presenters reading ‘The Adventures of Michael & Mia: Stewards of the Land’ a new book geared toward teaching students more about where their food comes from The book, by author Edward Willet and illustrated by Val Lawton, touched on some technical aspects of agriculture, from the use of global positioning systems for precision farming, to how a riparian area protects natural water ways. When Michael and Mia accidentally cause a run-off of fertilizer dad is quick to point out; “Fortunately,” Dad said, “the
Proudly Western Bull Sale
helps us conserve fuel, ensures we put just the right amount of nutrients and crop protection products in just the right places, and it’s good for the environment. It will also leave the land in better shape for whoever farms it after us.” It might sound a bit more technical than Grade 4, but most times as adults we underestimate the ability of children to understand and grasp new ideas. In this case the book even references the idea of using Google to learn things, something young students know better than old writers like myself. In a release on Agriculture Literacy Week, Ag in the Classroom AITC Executive Director Sara Shymko hit the nail rather surely in terms of the importance of the initiative.

farmer who owned this land before us maintained these bushes along the creek and let native grasses grow between the garden and the creek bed too. That will have trapped most of the fertilizer and prevented it from getting into the water. It’s called ‘riparian management’ and it’s something I’m working really hard to keep doing well.” And in another spot mom asks; “GPS units,” Mom said. “Do you know what GPS stands for?” “Global Positioning System,” Mia said proudly. “We learned that in school.” Mom smiled. “Very good! Using GPS and other technology, we’re doing what’s called ‘precision farming.’ That’s where you break your fields down into smaller zones and manage each one a little differently. It
Tis the season! No, not Christmas, Calving! The time of year that brings middle of the night calls to the vet to assist with difficult calvings, exhausted producers sleeping upright in our lobby awaiting their appointment, chapped & cracked hands, and guzzled cups of cold coffee. It is also the perfect time to talk about COLOSTRUM! (insert ominous dun dun dun here) Colostrum, as most of us know, is the first milk produced that contains fats, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and proteins, and most importantly antibodies. Calves do not receive passive transfer of immunity from the placenta, so the needed antibodies must be ingested within 6 hours of birth for maximum transfer to occur. Some studies show that colostrum should be ingested within the first 10 minutes to maximize absorption! These antibodies help the
calf to fight off bacteria & viruses that cause things like navel infection, meningitis, scours (e. coli, rotavirus, coronavirus), and respiratory infections. This also contributes to the lifelong health of the calf. Calves with low antibody levels, either from inadequate amounts or poor quality colostrum, are much more susceptible to infections at weaning, and throughout their life. A study by Dr. Andy Acton at Deep South Animal Clinic in Ogema showed that calves receiving inadequate colostrum were twice as likely to get sick and 2.5 times more likely to die! In short, if the calf doesn’t ingest adequate colostrum in that first few hours of life, it won’t matter how clean the barn, how deep the straw, how well-bred the dam, how expensive the bull or how his EPD’s stack up… that little baby’s odds of surviving to weaning are pretty poor! What does this mean to you? Calves susceptible

“Agriculture plays a vital role in our lives, and it’s important that our youth understand that,” she said in a prepared release. “Students often learn best when they are able to connect with their subject matter. By introducing them to people directly involved in the agriculture industry, we’re able to help them understand the role agriculture plays in their lives and in the world.” And that was what was so compelling in Joelle Carlson’s reading of the book to Columbia School students. “ We e a t e v e r y d a y, ” said the agrologist from Melville, SK. Carlson pointed to a large 365 she had placed on the chalkboard, and told the students we eat every day of the year “because we need food to fuel our bodies.” Carlson then asked, “Every day we eat what should we think about?” The answer was farmers. Referring to the book,
and how it ties into food production, Carlson said, “see how everybody is connect to agriculture in this room,” although not one student lived on a farm. “So 365 days-ay e a r, l e t s t h a n k t h e farmers,” she said. That is something we all should do, whether it is the canola producer thanking beef farmers for their steak, or vice versa for cooking oil. And certainly for those of us who do not toil directly on the farm, our grocery carts would be empty without agricultural producers. While it is important an organization such as Agriculture in the Classroom start the education process with young students, it is something we all need to remember. Supporting farmers in their efforts to produce food and earn a reasonable living means we all end up with food to eat 365.
to infections (whether viral or bacterial) will probably require treatment. This may be in the form of medications on the farm, or a trip to your friendly veterinarian. Neither is free! Being sick sets the calf back, and he may never catch up to the other calves or take longer to reach weaning weight (Acton’s study also revealed that an inadequate intake of colostrum resulted in calves that were 50 pounds lighter at weaning). Or, the calf may not survive the infection at all, which means you’ve lost an entire season feeding that cow and have no calf to show for it! All of these scenarios are hard on your bottom dollar! How do you ensure the calf gets the necessary colostrum in time? Well, you could milk the dam out and tube or bottle feed the calf, help the calf suck, or watch the cow and calf until it sucks. A newborn calf should be up and sucking within 2 to 4 hours. If not, help it to get up and nurse, and ensure it gets a full feeding. If it can’t get up, won’t nurse, or you think
it may not have received enough colostrum, supplement the calf. Dr. Jim Rhoades of Novartis Animal Health, now Elanco, suggests breeding your own colostrum factory – Artificially inseminate a nice cow or heifer in your herd with a dairy breed and cross your fingers for a heifer! Dairy breeds produce larger amounts of colostrum that can be frozen if necessary. Obviously, this isn’t a fix for this spring, or maybe not even next, but it ensures the colostrum will contain antibodies specific for your operation. It also prevents the inevitable disaster buying a nurse cow from a dairy often brings, as she can introduce viruses and bacteria that your herd may not be protected against. Our own Dr. Kernaleguen says that at 3AM, when you are tired and frozen, whipping up a bag of Calf’s Choice (commercially available colostrum powder) and tubing the calf makes life a lot easier!

Lillian Dyer (Erickson, Angus, Visser) 20 March 1915 - 12 Feb. 2015 Lillian Visser, née Lillian Olive Dyer, 6th of 9 children born to Charles and Nellie Dyer on the farm south of Carlyle, Sask, died at Bulkley Lodge in Smithers, BC on 12 Feb 2015, only 5 weeks short of becoming the ¿rst centenarian in her family. Lillian married Roy Erickson in 1940. During WW2 they lived in New Westminster, BC; Prince Albert, Sask; and then farmed north of Kinistino, Sask. From 1946 to 1959 they had a farm at Manor, Sask, where they raised their only offspring, Ken Erickson, born in 1943. In 1959 they moved to BC, where Roy died in 1962. Lillian worked hard to obtain the education she needed to work and contribute to society. After graduating from Moose Jaw Normal School in 1934, she taught in Saskatchewan and BC until 1978. Post retirement, she taught sewing to young women at a World Vision school in Kenya for a year. During the War, after training to operate a mechanical calculator with 108 keys called a comptometer, she worked in the accounting department of Burns and Company in Vancouver and Prince Albert. In 1969 she graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor of Education degree. Lillian’s marriage to Alastair Angus ended in divorce. In 1981 she married Jake Visser, living with him on his farm at Telkwa, and later in Smithers, BC. After Jake’s death in 2001, she lived alone with her macaw, Chico, until illness forced her to move to Bulkley Lodge in 2009. Alzheimer’s disease ravaged the last 5 years of her life. During this time her friends Sophie and Henry Fehr and Lil Chick visited almost daily, providing the loving attention that her distant family could not. Despite her dementia, Lillian had moments of lucidity, acknowledging family and friends, singing hymns, and praying; these were precious visits from Lillian who, in some ways, had already left us. Lillian was passionate about trout ¿shing with Jake and other family. In 1988 Lillian, Ken and grandson Alejandro, then only 6, caught a marlin at Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. She always had a large garden, and valued food she grew or caught above what she bought in the store. Lillian had strong religious beliefs. In the 1993 Dyer Family Tree booklet, she says: “The most important part of my life is my faith in Jesus Christ as my personal savior.” Lillian is predeceased by her brothers Reginald, Bert, Fred, and Harold, and sisters Marjorie and Ethel. Her sister Frances Horner lives in Calgary, Alberta, and sister Myrtle Brayford in Brantford, Ontario. Lillian’s son Ken Erickson is in Burnaby, BC. Grandson Alejandro Erickson lives with his wife Kassia and baby great grandson Auberon Roy Erickson in Durham, UK. Chico, Lillian’s macaw, is at the World Parrot Refuge on Vancouver Island. There will be a Celebration of Life for Lillian at 1:30pm, 27 March, 2015 at Mountain View Assembly church in Smithers, BC. There are 62 photos from Lillian’s life online at http://goo.gl/VMDHIB.

Introduce your child to the wonders of nature. Start by putting a bird feeder outside of one of your windows. Keep it filled with birdseed and make time to watch the birds that feed at it. Learn about the different kinds of birds that you see. You can make a simple bird feeder with your child. Simply take a pinecone. Smear it with peanut butter. Roll it in birdseed and hang it with a pipe cleaner. There are other peanut free recipes for children with allergies on Pinterest. Go searching in the garden for worms, spiders, ladybugs, snails and other interesting insects. If you live near a farm, ask the owner if you can see the cows being milked or the sheep sheared. Examine a fallen bird’s nest closely and marvel at the way it is built. Try and make a nest of your own. On warm spring or summer days, plan a small picnic outdoors where your family can explore nature and feed the birds. Always talk in detail about what you see and encourage your child to take an interest in the environment. Children should learn to appreciate all aspects of nature. Talk about what it would be like to be an ant, a bird or a horse. When you see an animal or bird, encourage your child to look it up in an encyclopedia or online and find out more about it. When you see which creatures particularly interest your child, ask your librarian for books about them. Make learning about nature fun!

We are well into the month of March now and almost forgot to wish all those who will be celebrating their birthdays this month – a very Happy Birthday to you. Also to those who are celebrating an anniversary this month – Happy Anniversary to you. May you all have a great year ahead. Dustin and Adam Cowan spent Saturday forenoon visiting with their grandparents, Gray and Edel Cowan and enjoyed doing a little sledding at the farm before having lunch. In the afternoon both boys went to Redvers to officiate at the SAHA Pee Wee Hockey game (Redvers vs Davidson). Gray and I also attended the game – it was the first game in round one of the series. Unfortunately Redvers lost their game in the last minute or two of last period by one goal. Good Luck Redvers in the second game and with the rest of the SAHA series. There was a baby shower in honor of Wyatt Kenneth James, infant son of Chase and Jaelene Boettcher held on Sunday, March 8 at the home of his grandparents, Jerome and Carol Poirier. Wyatt received many useful gifts and outfits and I’m sure that he’ll be one well-dressed little fella. I heard that there are some of you who have been unfortunate to have caught a ‘bug’ so will send along get well wishes to you,
and to those who have been hospitalized or in the hospital – here’s to a speedy recovery as well. On Sunday, March 8 the weather was great and just wonderfully beautiful (especially since the last long cold spell), it was above the freezing mark causing many puddles to form on the streets. Just noticed that the calendar states that spring is arriving a week March 20 – yeah been waiting for that day to come. It was great to see such a good crowd attend the Sunday breakfast and this included our Redvers family/friends – Dot, Chic Girard, Alphie Jensen and Nap Dubuc who return to Alida to have breakfast with us. Hopefully we’ll be able to see you once again and many other friends from the surrounding areas. Kitchen group # 2 served up 50 breakfasts. Just remember NO BREAKFAST this coming Sunday, March 15 as that is the Drama Matinee date but breakfast will return on schedule on Sunday, March 22 with Kitchen group # 3 at the helm – Good luck gals and guys in meeting or beating the breakfast record. Hope to see you at the hall sometime. Alida Hall is taking on a transformation now as drama week begins. The final touches have occurred on the set and the props are all set to go. The entrance welcomes you to the world
of electronics, the foyer features the World Wide Web as Hubert decides to explore “plenty of fish” on the computer, and of course the hall interior is decorated featuring drama paraphernalia. The food managers have their menus decided and almost all ready to share them on their chosen evening. It’s been another great week and weekend with superb curling to watch – The Brier was in full swing in Calgary and the curlers really did show some excellent curling – with many games ending in an extra end. Team Saskatchewan won the bronze, Team North Ontario the silver and Team Canada the gold. Way to guys – now we’ll see you at the worlds. The next curling event will be the Ladies Worlds on March 14 in Japan – Go Canada Go. Also this weekend was Telemiracle in Saskatoon featuring many great talented people performing their skills resulting in another very successful weekend for the Kinsmen/Kinettes for them to be able to extend the much needed help to those in need.

Kennedy/Langbank News Submitted by Doreen Cancade We can all be thankful for the mild weather we are having at this time—something to appreciate. Once again the week was filled with some great curling and sportsmanship. Most viewers were pleased with Team Canada—Congratulations. Sunday was a great day for the Kennedy Figure Skating Club when they presented Retro Cartoons--everyone seemed to enjoy preforming—yes most of them were small but very cute—there was a good attendance. Ashley and Kess Pratt of Kenosee Lake had two of their children Cadence and Kinley taking part, why I mention them is because their baby sister (one day old) was out with the family. (First time in all the years I have attended these functions have I seen a day old baby attending). Thanks to Coach Tami Halvorson and program assistants Nolan Cameron and Brynn Bourhis for the nice afternoon and to the cooks for the lovely beef supper—to all the volunteers that made the winter enjoyable for the whole community.
Sympathy is extended to the families of Harvey Cook on his passing—Harvey has attended all the Nov. 11th services for many years, Joe Barsi and Harvey never missed when the Kennedy Langbank School took over the event. Also condolences to all the relatives of Lee Struble of Wawota. The World Day of Prayer was held in Langbank United Church on Mar. 6. The service was written by the prayer committee of The Bahamas, prepared and adapted for use in Canada by the Women’s Inter-Church Council of Canada. This service has been in Kennedy and Langbank for a great number of years .The music and video presentation was handled by Roy Bortolotto (thanks Roy) members of the Langbank, Kennedy United Church, and St. Ann’s completed the service, a sum of $130.00 was collected to help support project grants to benefit women and children in need around the world. A lovely lunch and fellowship with a birthday cake for Barbara Wilkins was enjoyed by all.
This winter seems to have been a time for many folks to enjoy holidays –Jim & Ellen Cairns spent a couple of weeks in Vancouver and Victoria Island visiting relatives and friends. Norbert and Delores Beaujot returned from a month in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (bringing the warm weather home with them), Mike and Cindy West spent a month in Lake Havasu City, Arizona accompanied by Don and Heather Trail. While they were there Reg and Nicole Wilson and boys of Wawota visited them during the school break. They also spent time visiting with the Markles and Hourds who are still holidaying. Much closer to home Margaret Debenham and I visited with Vicki Boutin, Doris Silcox, Norma McKellar in the nursing home at Carlyle, Vicki is doing very well and would like to say ‘hello’ to all her old friends at Kennedy. Nancy and Lisa LaRonge brought their mother Enid home from the Deer View Lodge for the weekend, Enid will still be in Wawota for a couple of weeks .
Rhonda Hall and Marie Vail enjoyed spending several weeks holidaying in Hawaii. K.O. And Friends played at The Old Time Dance party at Casino Regina on Feb. 23. This was their fourth annual appearance. Local musicians include Marie Vail, Garry Dickson and Keith Olson. News has been received of the passing of a former Wawota resident, John Bildfell of Saskatoon. He passed away on February 12th at the age of 92 years. He and his wife Ann lived here in the 1950’s when he was the manager at the Royal Bank. One of his three daughters is Sharon who is married to David Meyers in Moosomin. Maurice Dickson, youngest child of Dave and Edith Dickson has also passed away recently. He was 77 years old and lived in Rivers, MB. Sympathy to all of the family members and friends. Another family who need our thoughts and prayers is that of the late Lee Struble. Lee was in his 61st year when he passed away last week. We are thinking of his family, Stephanie, Jennifer and Brent at this time and sister Vicki Beauchesne and family.
His funeral service was held at the Wawota Town Hall on Mar. 11. Kudos to the following: To the Town Council on bringing the recycling bins to each residence. This will allow us to recycle as we wish not having to go out to the blue bins or finding them full and having to make another trip. We recycle all of our paper, cardboard, tin cans and milk containers and hope this new system will encourage more to do more recycling as it is something anyone can do; To the organizers of Esprit d’hiver Wawota Winter Festival. Several attended the Triathlon, afternoon of activities, supper and movie. It was a nice break from the winter weather; To the Time and Talent Committee who produced another successful event last Sunday. Although attendance was down a bit there was lots of good food, good deals and lots of laughs. Not only is this a good fund raiser for our church it is a good time for great fellowship; To those involved in putting the World Day of Prayer together. The United Church was responsible this year and for the first time it was held at Deer View Lodge. This allowed several of the residents
27
there to participate; To Suzanne Eisler and her crew who celebrated their first anniversary of sewing “Little Dresses for Africa”. In 2014 they sent 770 dresses and 229 pairs of shorts and in 2015 they sent 200 dresses and 48 pair of shorts plus some girls’ underwear and used T-shirts to various locations. The deliveries were 3 times to Mexico, 2 times to Nicaragua, 1 to Peru, 4 to Costa Rica, 3 to Africa and 1 to Haiti. They have lots of items on hand and they appreciate those who deliver when they travel to these destinations. This group meets every Tuesday afternoon at the Free Methodist Church. Not only are there sewers but many other jobs such as ironing, cutting material, threading elastic, etc. The many donations of material, elastic and binding are appreciated along with monetary donations. What a great feeling it must be to imagine how many lives you have touched through such a simple act!! Sorry I missed the Van Winkoop family, Kelvin, Elly, Katie and Anna who were part of the group who enjoyed a trip to Disneyland last month.
