Resilience in the rain: Wawota hosts Musical Ride

Staff photo by Kelly Running

Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, Vaughn Solomon Schofield, was in Wawota on Tuesday, July 28, as a guest of honour at the RCMP Musical Ride. Observer Staff

It was wet and cold out as the rain came down and the wind blew, but that didn’t stop a crowd from amassing at the natural amphitheatre north of Wawota to take in the sites as the community welcomed the RCMP Musical Ride. Umbrella’s, plastic ponchos, and rain jackets were plentiful as many were determined to grit and bear it. Doors opened at 4 p.m. with local musical entertainment following until it was time for the Musical Ride. Between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. there was food booths set up by diﬀerent organizations, while kids could also have their faces painted. Excited for this they weren’t fazed as the paint began running in the rain. As it neared closer to 7 p.m. the hill overlooking the stage filled and it was time. Welcomed to the community was Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, Vaughn Solomon Schofield, who had made the journey out from Regina for the special occasion. Excitement filled the air as the RCMP riders crested the hill on the northeast side of the natural amphitheatre making their way down to their arena.

Each year the Musical Ride is performed in diﬀerent parts of Canada and 2015 sees them riding in the Maritimes as well as Saskatchewan. It is put on by a full troop of 32 riders and horses as well as a member in charge who oversees the performance. The Musical Ride features intricate and varied cavalry manoeuvres, these drills are all set to music and is quite the sight as the riders weave between each other, keep time, and join in a charge down the performance area stopping quickly. Dressed in their serge, the bright red of the RCMP jackets popped as they rode black horses, which are bred specifically for the Musical Ride. The performance takes many months of training, for rider and horse to become one, and numerous kilometres are covered during riding school, which is evident as the precision riding was very impressive to those attending. The RCMP Musical Ride was brought to Wawota this year, 20 years after the community last held it, and was invited to the area by the Business Enhancement Group in Wawota. Meredith Swanson, of Wawota’s Business Enhancement Group (WBEG), says, “We had the Musical Ride in Wawota back in 1990. I was involved in that one, so I sent in another application, hoping, but never really thinking we’d get them to come again. We lucked out, because

they only go to certain provinces each year and in 2015, it’s only Saskatchewan and the Maritimes.” According to President of the WBEG, Shannon Houﬀ, the day was a success despite the rain. “Right before the show we looked up at the rain and just said please let it stop,” she said. “And it did, during the performance the rain stopped. …it [the rain and wind] started immediately after.” “The resilience of prairie people was shown that day, they were able to stick it out through the weather and witness that historic event. For someone who’s never seen it in that setting, it was a treat. I’m really happy with the end result and everyone who braved it were glad they did.” Although they had been hoping for 3,000 people to come out, the weather did keep some away. “We had about 2,000 people including kids and VIPs, and our final total isn’t in but we expect a profit of about $20,000, which will all go towards a community project,” Houﬀ explained. “The riders have been to a lot of places and they said that this was the coolest natural spot that they’ve ridden in.”

From Page 1 - RCMP Musical Ride THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: LIBRA, SCORPIO AND SAGITTARIUS.

Week of August 9 to 15, 2015 ARIES Making time for the family is important. Your children, or even your elderly parents, need you. You won’t hesitate to devote to them all the time they need.

TAURUS You may decide to go back to school or follow a short training session. You’ll soon reap the rewards, even though you’re short on time and have to go to considerable effort.

GEMINI Expect to put in some overtime at work. These efforts may earn you a promotion and put you in management’s good books.

CANCER You are at the dawn of a new beginning. If you’re looking for a job, you finally find a promising career, albeit a stressful one. The salary is appealing, and a bright future is in the making. Staff photo by Kelly Running

LEO You have a brainwave. You succeed in better defining your priorities and visualizing your future. You have a flash of inspiration concerning a new way forward.

VIRGO You’re happy to organize an event that brings together lots of people. Just a few words from you is enough to establish perfect harmony between the people around you.

LIBRA Following the departure of a colleague, you’re given a promotion that you’ll learn to enjoy, slowly but surely. Much to your surprise, a new way of living enables you to accomplish great feats.

SCORPIO You have the opportunity of going on an exciting trip, and you’re tempted by a foreign adventure. You may even think about moving to another country. Projects line up one after the other.

The RCMP Musical Ride performs the bridal arch during its performance in Wawota on Tuesday, July 28. The funds raised by the event will be going towards their WBEG community project of establishing an outdoor kitchen in the recreation area as well as a memorial garden and pathway. “The outdoor kitchen will be a great gathering spot for family reunions or just a nice spot to sit and have a picnic,” Houff explained. “We’re going to add on a walkway and memorial garden as well, which is part of a five-year plan. We have the cement pad poured which is great and although the building will be more than $20,000, which was raised with the Musical Ride, that helps a lot.” “The memorial garden will have memory benches and light posts for people in the community to dedicate to someone.” Although raising the money is great, Houff says that putting on an event of this magnitude is more about the community togetherness that develops above all else. “It takes a lot of people to come together,” she explained. “Thank you to everyone who helped for stepping up to the plate and to the organizers who spent nine months to a year working on this.” “In the end everyone comes together and we’ve gained community pride which is even better than the money raised; that sense of togetherness to achieve a big goal like that Staff photo by Kelly Running sparks something in the lives of those in the community. Hats off to all my fellow committee Two young girls, though a little chilly in the rain, enjoyed hotdogs members because they know how much work before the Musical Ride commenced. was put into this.”

A troop of RCMP Musical Ride members from across the country are touring Saskatchewan and the Atlantic Provinces this year. They performed in Wawota on July 28.

The 2015 edition of the Kenosee Lake Kitchen Party Kids Camp continued its tradition of training the musical mentors of tomorrow, while providing young campers from the ages of nine to 12 with a fun-filled camping experience that includes instruction in fiddle or guitar, art, dance and drama. Located at the Kenosee Lake Boys and Girls Camp, participants enjoy swimming, paddle-boating, climbing walls and sleeping in bunkhouses. The camp’s counsellors and teachers are young musicians who gain valuable tools from experienced mentors-and from instructing young campers-that will aid them in their musical careers. “It’s a camp to teach the teachers,” says camp co-founder, Michele Amy, who started the camp in 2009 with her husband, Will Elliot. “We’re a teacher-training facility run by Kenosee Lake Kitchen Party Inc., which is a non-profit. Our mentors are all adult professionals in their areas: music, education, art, drama and outdoor education. Our counsellors and our teachers are all young musicians who gain leadership skills as a way to pay it forward.” Fiddle teacher Emily Dubois, 16, of Langbank says, “I’ll be taking on some students this fall and this camp is a great experience for early teachers like me. Teaching here will help me with my own students. It’s a great experience and opportunuty.” Campers and fiddle students, Jeremy Green and Blake Robertson both declared the camp, “Awesome.” “It’s really cool,” says Robertson. “I definitely want to come back again. It’s a lot of fun and I’ve met a lot of new friends.” “Everything he said and more,” added Green. “It’s my second year here and I can’t say how awesome it is here.” Amy and Elliot modelled the kids camp on the Kenosee Lake Kitchen Party (KLKP) camps, with a focus on training new fiddle and guitar teachers. While young apprentice music teachers hone their instructional skills, campers receive specialized instruction in either fiddle or guitar. Every camper also undertakes art projects, with an in-house professional art teacher. This year’s art instructor is Bevin Bradley, while Gordon Stobbe and Donna Turk serve as musical mentors. Turk, of Calgary, says: “I’ve been at the kitchen party camps for a few years, but this is my very first year at the kids camp. It’s awesome to see the kids. As a group, they’re really open to learning new stuﬀ.” The camp not only seeks out young musicians who show leadership potential. The program also seeks out those who are currently active and studying their instruments. Along with a recommendation from a teacher, candidates for camp leadership roles must also emonstrate “a gift for generosity, kindness and genuine care for others.” “Often our teachers and counsellors outnumber our campers and this year is no exception,” says Amy. “Campers, counsellors, teachers and mentors all benefit from the atmosphere at camp.” Apprentice music teachers not only gain confidence in their craft and valuable leadership skills; they also gain insight into creating their own studios, as well as growing as musical educators, adds Amy. “It’s a unique camp with a lot of exciting things going on,” says Amy. “There are a lot of great things going on in a lot of diﬀerent places. But to my knowledge, no other camp combines a traditional camp experience with a mentor-teacher program like we have.” “It’s like anything else. If you get enthusiastic people who create a culture of excellence, then people really respond to that and an idea grows.” “It keeps fiddling alive,” says Turk. “But more than that, it builds connection and community in a really unique way. Michele has come up with something really special in this part of the world.” For more information, check out: www. kenoseekitchenparty.ca

Motocross champion Kate Lees: Racer and role model Motocross racer Kate Lees of Carlyle says, “Being a girl in a male-dominated sport is the best thing that ever happened to me.” After competing at the Women’s Western Motocross Nationals for the first time earlier this year, Lees is now ranked nationally as one of Canada’s top ten female motocross racers; and the 19-yearold nursing student is both blazing a trail and serving as a role model for other female racers. “I just like breaking barriers, I guess. And I’m really competitive and aggressive,” says Lees. “But I definitely see myself as a role model. At my very first race, there were only three girls and none of them talked to me. I felt really uncomfortable and I didn’t want to come back. I make a point of talking to new girls and a couple of girls this year told me they look up to me and feel that if I can do it, they can, too.” Lees-who competes against both women and men-says her dad, Brian talked with her about paying it forward early in her racing career. “When I was 14, I started winning a lot of races,” she says. “He told me to make sure I didn’t come oﬀ as cocky and said, ‘You don’t want to have that reputation.’” “He taught me to be aware and pointed out that people are actually watching me (race), where I might be so focused on the race and just doing my thing,” she says. “I wouldn’t ignore anybody who wanted to talk with me or ride with me. But it was a good reminder for me to be aware and to pay attention.” “This year has been a lot diﬀerent than last year,” says Lees. “Everybody knows about Nationals (where Lees placed in the top ten female motocross racers in the country), so I see a lot of little kids. Their parents bring them and most of them ask me how I did. There’s one little boy in Carlyle who’s only six or seven. He was practicing and he wanted me to come ride with him, so I did.” “I’m happy to do it and to encourage young racers.” Lees says she took her first ride at the age of 11 “at Rekkens’ in Carlyle. My brother raced and my dad has the Kawasaki dealership in town, so I really started doing it to impress my dad,” she laughs. “It’s a family thing, not only with my immediate family, but also with the other racers and their families.” “Even if I’m racing at Rekkens’, we still take our camper and everybody camps out and gets together the night before the competition,” says Lees. “It’s like a big family. All of the families are there and we all sleep in our campers. There’s a firepit and we all get together. Our dog Kane (a Siberian Husky) even comes to all of the races, but our cat Magic stays home,” she laughs. “But seriously, I couldn’t imagine racing without my parents. Circumstances last year meant they missed my last race, and everything went wrong. “I was

Ph o

crashing, the front brake seized up...Everything went wrong.” “They’re lucky for me.” Even with the support of family, friends and the extended motocross community, Lees says that motocross racing is ultimately a solitary sport. “When I’m racing, I’m really focused and it’s the only place where I don’t think of anything. I’m just focused on what I’m doing.” “I race in both Ladies’ and Men’s classes,” says Lees. “In the Ladies’ class, most of the bikes are smaller and things aren’t as fast, but that’s changing.” “I didn’t start racing in the boys’ class until I was 14. I started at the back of the pack, and as I got higher, I got picked on. When I started dominating in the “C” class, I got picked on and I thought it would get better once I was in the “B” class,” says Lees. “But it got worse, the better I got,” she laughs. “In “B” class, I got hit, run into and toppled over. It just made me want to hit them back. I’m really competitive and aggressive on the track. I’ve been hit four or five times in the same race. I’ve yelled at guys after the race and I’ve hit back, too.” A typical race day for Lees-and her bike, a 2015 KX 250 F-begins with her morning playlist, which varies, depending on the type of race in which she’s competing. “Last year, I listened to “All I Do Is Win” by DJ Khaled. That was for when I was feeling really cocky,” she says. “If I wanted to calm down, like I did in Nationals, I listened to “I Lived” by One Republic.” Racers wear a helmet and goggles, a jumpsuit, boots, chest protection, a neck brace and knee and elbow protection, but injuries aren’t uncommon, and Lees is often subject to some good-natured teasing about her future profession when she’s at the track. “I knocked out my two front teeth when I was 15,” she says. “I broke my collarbone when I was 17, and I had surgery. A week before I went to Nationals, I hurt my ankle really bad, but I didn’t get it checked out until I got back. I had two broken bones in my foot and a cracked ankle. But when I’m riding, I don’t feel the pain as much.” “I’m studying nursing at the University of Regina,” says Lees. “I’ll still keep racing, even after I’m working as a nurse. And a lot of people tease me about being able to fix myself up, if I get another injury.” Twice, Lees has trained in Allen, Texas, during the university’s February reading week. “I went three years ago and then this past February,” she says. “For 10 days, I rode every day. I went with my parents and Ty Ballard (from Roblin, Manitoba) and Myah Hjorteland (of Estevan) raced there, too. No one actually trains us. We just go down there and do our own thing. But we push each other.” A successful veteran racer who has competed in both mens’ and womens’ classes, Lees says that competing and placing in the top ten nationally this spring in Nanaimo, Kamloops and Calgary was: “Pretty crazy and also awesome. But I was superscared. I had to remind myself that it’s just another race.” “In Nationals, no one knew who I was, and I just kind of came out of the blue,” she says. “The first race was in Kamlopps, and I really wanted to be in the top ten. I placed 15th overall there and I was pretty mad. R y l u l In Nanaimo-where the second race was e n ning by K to held, I hit the top ten for the first time, placing 9th overall and in Calgary, I placed 10th in the top ten.” “I’m already looking forward to going back next year.” Along with her will to win, Lees says one of her goals is to continue to support women’s motocross. Nineteen-year“If I could tell kids one thing old motocross racer it would be this: ‘Champions Kate Lees is pictured are made when the stands are empty, every champion started competing at her where you did. Secondly, riding “absolute favourite” track, “like a girl” is not an insult and Carlyle’s Bowan Rekken Memorial Park. Lees has never will be.’” trained in Texas and competed nationally in her sport, but says of Kate Lees is proof of that. her hometown track, “I love racing in Carlyle.”

Already a veteran motocross racer, Carlyle’s Kate Lees’ first foray into the sport was at the age of 11. Since then, the third-year nursing student has had her share of triumphs and her share of injuries. “I knocked out my two front teeth when I was 15,” says Lees. “I broke my collarbone when I was 17, and I had surgery. A week before I went to Nationals, I hurt my ankle really bad, but I didn’t get it checked out until I got back. I had two broken bones in my foot and a cracked ankle. But when I’m riding, I don’t feel the pain as much.”

Quote of the Week . . . “Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.” ― Albert Camus

Can someone who eats meat care about animals?

The other day I came across an internet post written about Cecil the Lion being killed and it involved the standpoint of “It’s hard for me to empathize with those of you who are upset about the recent killing of an innocent lion, yet choose to eat animals.” The post went on about how there’s no difference between his death and the Kelly Running animals killed for meat. Observer Staff Personally I don’t care if you’re vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian, or a traditional meat and potatoes kind of person. In fact I have friends of these varieties and we simply all respect each other. In fact one friend was also a roommate in university and we discussed her choice to become a vegan. The only thing I did differently for her than other friends was instead of baking a birthday cake I made a tofu pie for her, which is absolutely delicious. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and ways of doing things, however, I had to shake my head at many of the responses this post elicited. The person that posted this is a public figure, so I found it odd that the original post seemed to say that because I eat meat I’m not allowed to care for animals, which likely offended the majority of her followers. However, in my humble opinion there is most definitely a difference between killing a protected species for sport and eating meat. Although the original post said that health benefits of eating meat have been proven to be non-existent, which fine maybe meat isn’t the best for you, but those that eat meat are eating it for sustenance which is a huge difference. There’s a huge difference between regular hunters and someone who hunts protected or endangered animals. Hunters who go after deer, elk, moose, etc… are actually a part of today’s ecosystem. Overpopulation of certain animals actually means that this needs to be controlled, which nature will do through disease, but is something that hunters help with. Humans are part of the ecosystem they are within and oftentimes they work against it, but hunting would seem to me to be a way that humans are actually working with nature. But everyone is entitled to their own opinions and the person who made the post has theirs, which she clarified with a 30-minute video with the gist of it explaining her wording maybe didn’t come across the way she wanted it to, which had offended people. The person who posted this seems to be very well educated about why she decided to become a vegan, but many of those commenting under her post were not as well inclined on either side of the argument. In the end though we have to remember there are life choices in this world and what we eat is one of them. So, regardless of what we put in, whether it’s beetles, pork, vegetables, beef, seaweed, etc… we have to respect each other and support these decisions. Many people, myself included, grow up to feel a certain way about animals, for example I love steak and don’t see a problem with eating it, I was raised not seeing the problem. However, the same goes for people in different places of the world. While on Air China flying through Beijing to Australia, we were offered beef or dog for our meal, after an “excuse me, what were the choices?” I asked for beef because I cannot even fathom eating a dog. In fact, I opened my meal and I only ate the rice because I started worrying that they gave me the wrong one. Everybody has different beliefs and practices whether it’s dietary or religious practices, and so to be a decent human being we have to accept these differences in each other.

Getting what you don’t want On a hot August day I stood with my husband and kids by the Kicking Horse River listening to the safety orientation by the guides as we prepared to take on the thrill of white water rafting. My mind reeled as I tried to retain all the instructions and come to terms with the risk to Shelley Luedtke life and limb I was taking, but since I had gotten myself into that wetsuit there was no way I was backing out now. Once through the orientation, the guides began calling out names and assigning groups to particular rafts. There were about 40 people standing at the edge of the water with us and as I scanned the crowd I silently began hoping for certain people to be put in our raft. There was just one group I didn’t want to be joined to. They were four young men, one in a pink tutu, out on an adventure bachelor weekend prior to one of them getting married (the one forced to wear the tutu over his wetsuit). They were white water veterans having rafted several diﬀerent rivers including ones in Malaysia. They certainly made their presence known throughout our morning of orientation and safety drills. They had been ziplining the day before and now were pumped about taking on the white water. Please, please, let us be put in a raft with anybody, ANYBODY, but them. These testosterone driven outdoor adventurers (I was convinced) were sure to be looking for a far more dangerous ride down the Kicking Horse than I was. The bachelor party group was called and as they headed for their raft--of course--our name was called next to finish out the group of eight. Are you kidding me? They expect me to load my wetsuitclad body into the same raft with these daredevils? Within minutes we were seated and heading out onto the river. Just moments later I realized we were in the best possible situation--a raft with four of the nicest, strongest young men who not only Kelly Running Editor Reporter/Photographer

made the adventure a lot of fun but also tackled the paddling with a youth and vigor that allowed me to coast, just a little (don’t tell my family). It takes a lot of hard work to control the raft in white water and I was very grateful for their presence. They asked our girls a lot of questions and kept checking to ensure they were doing okay and having a good time. One of the guys was wearing a helmet cam to take video of the trip. While all the rafts were taking a short break on shore the guys were laughing telling us they expected the camera to pick up some screaming by our girls when in actual fact it was one of them doing the majority of the shrieking! I got what I didn’t want--and it ended up being a good thing. I totally recognize that this isn’t always the case but it was a good lesson for me. The months prior to that summer adventure were a challenge. Situations were thrust upon me that I didn’t anticipate--or want, and this forced me into decisions I didn’t anticipate--or want. It was challenging yet transformative; stressful and freeing, all at the same time. I got what I didn’t want but the result has been unexpected blessings and new opportunities. Easy? No. Fun? Absolutely not. But I learned things about myself I wouldn’t have discovered otherwise and I was reminded that the most important things in life I already possess. And so I continue my journey. Each day I get back into the raft hoping for smooth sailing but knowing rough waters are inevitable. I have to accept the blast of cold mountain water at times but also make sure I appreciate the moments of sitting on shore enjoying the warmth of the sun. The journey takes me to places I may not have wanted to go, but places I needed to go. And a big lesson I have learned is that sometimes I need to paddle hard on my own but there are times I need to let others carry me, or at least row along beside me--and that includes people I wouldn’t have necessarily expected on the ride. Perhaps some of the best gifts in life come when we get what we don’t want. That’s my outlook.

Go Gadgets!

Fitness trackers a growing fad

Lynne Bell

Kelly Running

Observer Staff

I don’t own a Fitbit (yet?) but I did have to replace my phone recently. And unbeknownst to me, a little app was tracking my steps. Creepy? Yes. But also highly-motivating. The fact that you can now unlock your phone with a touch of your finger (meaning, of course, that our techie overlords have your fingerprints on hand for easy reference) is unsettling to middle-agers like myself. So is the rumour that Apple is currently working on a set of earbuds that will record, relay and retain the wearer’s medical information-blood pressure readings, for example. However, the flipside of this technological intrusiveness is that fitness tools and trackerssuch as the app on my new phone or the ubiquitous Fitbit-can be fun and useful tools in the quest for better health and fitness, and a welcome development in our increasingly sedentary and (oh, the irony) wired society. But don’t take my moderately-fit word for it. To bolster my argument, I called two local experts. I’ve known my dear friend Karen (Humphries) Stock since her earliest medalwinning days at Carlyle Elementary School (while I was getting picked last in gym class...). My pal has spent much of her life-personally and professionally-extolling and living out the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and is a living, breathing example of the good parts of getting and staying fit. Karen’s career currently involves assisting some high-powered folks in corporate Calgary in their quest for better health. When I asked her about fitness trackers, she said, “They aren’t totally accurate and they don’t measure a person’s complete fitness level.” “But what something like a Fitbit does do is make these guys aware of how much they’re sitting,” says Karen. “It motivates them to take those extra steps, or do that workout. Often, they travel a lot and their schedules aren’t consistent, so it’s a good way for a person to track their own progress. Their wives often have one too. So the couple might be accountable to each other, or make it like a little game.” “What Fitbits and other trackers really do is make people aware of the 10,000 steps a day they should ideally be taking. A Fitbit can assist in your quest to move more and be more active.” Another local fitness aficionado, Arcola’s Cathy Burton, is an avid marathon runner and one of the founders of the Moose Mountain Marathon. “There are so many different things out there-not just devices like the Fitbit, but lots and lots of apps,” she says. “I use one called Runkeeper on my phone. If I’m running, walking or biking, it tracks it all. You can log in and track activities, time, calories...You name it.” “I use a lot of different apps and I have a Garmin watch, which will log everything. I come and go though phases where I’ll use something to track every little thing, and then I’ll use nothing at all for a while.” “I would definitely encourage a beginning runner to use some kind of device or app to keep track of their progress. It’s really motivating and encouraging, and that’s the most important thing-to get out there and feel healthy and well.” So the experts have spoken. And I’m off to take a walk now-with my phone...

Editor’s Note . . .

Becoming more and more popular amongst people in first world countries is technology and using it as a way to be more active. I feel a little strange arguing against this as I recently began wearing a fitness tracker and have been tracking my exercise patterns, sleep habits, calories eaten, and water I’ve drank in a day. But, is it necessary? Probably not. For me it’s just a good way to motivate myself. When I get home after sitting at my computer writing or researching all day, it’s a reminder to go be active because it’s tangible motivation. You can see it and want to beat what you’ve done the day before. Wearable fitness trackers actually track your sleep, so you know when you wake up that you’re still tired, but I guess you can confirm this by checking how you slept the night before and seeing you slept for eight hours, but you woke up twice and were restless 24 times throughout the night resulting in 57 minutes of being awake or restless. However, what do you even do with this information? You don’t need a watch to tell you to be active either, just set aside a half an hour each day and be active in it. Record how far you went and challenge yourself to go faster or further next time around. There are actually countless apps out there that allow you to track what you’ve eaten in a day or can track you on GPS to see how fast and far you’ve run, however, it’s only good if you’re moving somewhere. Otherwise it doesn’t really know what you’ve done. Additionally, whether it’s an app on your phone or a wristband it can’t be used during certain activities. For example, if you choose to exercise by swimming laps, it has no way of tracking this, or for a sport that I play a lot of, volleyball, you don’t want anything on your wrists or forearms in general because you don’t want the ball to hit it and ricochet somewhere

Through the Lens By Moose Mountain Photography Club

you don’t want it to be. Sure you can log it in afterwards, but it’s not going to know how hard you were going while you were doing the activity, so it won’t be accurate. There’s been research as well that shows the calorie burn calculation is inaccurate on wearable fitness trackers. The calculation is based on height, weight, and age which is used to calculate basal metabolic rate (BMR) this is then used in another equation regarding how active you were to come up with your daily caloric expenditure. So, this may not be completely accurate and is simply an estimate of what you are burning in a day. As for recording the number of steps taken in a day, if you shake your wrist a bunch, I’m sure it would register as you running, so you’ve got to me aware of this and know that everything it’s telling you is an approximate and not take it to heart as fact. This goes the same for calories eaten, which can be recorded. Sure you can add your own items with how many calories are in it, while there’s an extensive list of prerecorded food items to choose from. Unless you’ve specifically weighed out your items you won’t actually have an accurate reading of this either. In addition to this calories aren’t everything and there are other things to consider which is attributed to being unhealthy or building fat. This includes how much sugar is in something, the amount of carbohydrates within the food, and other such factors. You could fill up on a bag of cheezies, but there’s more to what you’re putting in your body than just calories. So, although these items allow you to track diﬀerent health oriented numbers, they’re approximates and are not an exact science. It may be a good reference, but for the majority of people is tracking all of this really necessary?

Carlyle Cardinals remain Harbourne Memorial Champions Lynne Bell Observer Staff

The Carlyle Cardinals remain the Saskota Baseball Leagues’s champions, as the team once again captured the Jack Harbourne Memorial championship trophy Monday, July 27 at Lions Park in Carlyle with a final 8-2 victory over the Kenosee Cubs. Both teams played their way to the final over six other teams-the Arcola Threshers, the Carnduﬀ Astros, the Estevan Tower Wolves, the Lampman Pirates, the Oxbow Chiefs and the Redvers A’s- at the Saskota League’s end-of-season tournament July 24-26. The annual eight-team tournament should have concluded at Kenosee Ball Park on Sunday, July 26. However, rain and lightning significantly delayed play on Sunday, and as a result, the final game was a Monday night match in Carlyle. Monday’s final was played under a weather watch with heavy clouds overhead and increasing winds, which didn’t deter fans from both communities from attending. During the sixth and final inning, lightning was spotted in the distance and after a hard-fought game, the Cardinals walked away the victors. Cardinals’ coach and team captain David Lemieux said of his team: “ I’m just so proud of the guys. They just played hard and I’m happy we got this far.” The Saskota league will conclude the 2015 baseball season with the league’s annual All-Star Game, August 21 in Oxbow, when the top players from the north and south divisions will showcase their talent.

Chamblin is on the hot seat

Rider Insider By Rod Pedersen

By the time you read this, Corey Chamblin may have already been fired. But I highly doubt it. And the more I hear and think about it, he may not be dismissed at all. Amidst the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ 0-6 start, which included a 30-5 loss at Edmonton on Friday, a report came out via TSN over the weekend that Rider GM Brendan Taman was set to recommend the firing of head coach Corey Chamblin to club President Craig Reynolds. No one knows where TSN insider Gary Lawless got this information. Oddly, this came less than a week after Lawless told the nation Taman would not be firing Chamblin, thus putting his own job in jeopardy. Hence, the top sentence of this column. Things are changing by the minute here in Riderville and I’ve been doing my best to stay in the shadows and try to report only the correct information, if any at all. So as of today, Chamblin is employed by the Saskatchewan Roughriders as head coach. In fact Saturday night, Chamblin told a reporter it’s “business as usual”. However Chamblin’s paid to win football games and the club is 0-6. The speculation is reasonable. But let’s go back for a second and examine Friday’s game and the reason this club is oﬀ to its worst start since 1979. After the game the players and the coach

generally agreed they had one of their better games on defense all year, holding Edmonton to 23 or so points (7 were scored on a pick six thrown by rookie Rider quarterback Brett Smith). The trouble here is the Roughriders won the coin toss but gave the Eskimos the ball and the wind to open the game. The home team promptly marched the ball 76-yards down the field and opened the scoring with a 27-yard touchdown reception by Kenny Stafford for a 7-0 lead at the 5:40 mark. That’s all the offense they’d need for the rest of the game. So there’s that. Saskatchewan quarterback Brett Smith was in a hole before he even took his first pro snap. And then the penalties started. The Rider players had said before the game they all needed to help out their rookie quarterback by cleaning up their game but they then proceeded to take 17 penalties for 127 yards. Many of them took great plays, and first downs, by Smith and his receivers off the board. Every offensive lineman was flagged on the night with the exception of Brendon Labatte. The receivers took turns going offside. The Riders averaged 13.6 penalties per game going into the Edmonton contest so they far exceeded that total Friday night. And Chris Jones’ Eskimos kept their penalty total down to seven in this game. The Riders are in no way a disciplined team, although we’ve been told otherwise. And therefore, Chamblin is on the hotseat at 0-6. No matter that the Riders’ top two quarterbacks are down and the club has been hit by a rash of adversity. These are not your Dad’s Roughriders. Losing will not be tolerated. “Oh ya there’s no setback on that end,” Brendan Taman told me before Friday’s game. “This is a ‘wins’ business. Whoever’s playing at whatever position, we’re expected to go win the game.” My follow-up question to that was if Taman’s

getting an edict from the higher-ups of “make the playoffs or else!”? “We’ve been in the business long enough to know they don’t have to say much for us to know we have to win,” Taman explained. “Whatever comes from above, comes from above. But all me and Corey can do is put the best guys out there and try to win games. We’re working towards that and hopefully we can get that accomplished.” The TSN report threw the franchise into chaos over the weekend. President Craig Reynolds probably felt like he’s trying to navigate a monsoon in a dingy. He and Taman huddled up on Sunday but the contents of their meeting aren’t known. At least not by me. I was half expecting to hear Chamblin walked into the offices and demanded to be fired given the fact he was effectively pantsed on national television Saturday afternoon. However from what I can gather, he hasn’t. And a CFL powerbroker told me the possible replacements named by Lawless - Paul Lapolice and Mike Benevides – are hesitant to come here due to the toxic environment which has been created. How could you tie a can to Chamblin with no one lined up to replace him? Stay tuned. This will only get more interesting from here on in.

DRILLING REPORT

Friday, August 7, 2015

Kennedy/Langbank News Submitted by Doreen Cancade

We found out who has control over our weather this past weekóno matter how smart humans are they cannot compete against Mother Nature. Congratulations to the folks at Wawota for the excellent show they had on July 28th in spite of the weather conditions. Jason Stamm, son of John and Carolyn McMillan, was married to Andrea Mayor on July 25th in a beautiful outdoor wedding in Pilot Butte. In attendance were John and Carolyn of Kenosee Lake (they still support the Kennedy Friendship Centre and the Library), Bonnie and Todd Baxter and their family of Medicine Hat, Malcolm and Suzanne McMillan and their family of Vancouver, Washington, Stewart and Taralee McMillan and family of Brandon. Malcolm conducted the wedding ceremony, their family took part in the other parts of the service. Jasonís aunt and uncle, Joe and Donna Molnar and their daughter Tanya were also in attended. Edythe Cowan and John Ingjaldson enjoyed a visit to Oyen, AB to see her daughter Shirley and Keith Foot, and son Wilson and Judy Cowan. While there they attended the baptism of Edytheís great granddaughter Madaline, daughter of Sheila and Paul Kwasnicki. They also visited with many other family members. Later they attended the wedding reception for Terra Taylor in Calgary. All was very special (I must say when Edythe is gone card days are not the same). George and I visited with Gloria Rupert on Monday afternoon in Montmartre, having a chance to visit with her daughters Maureen of Calgary and Janice and girls of Ottawa before they returned to their homes. (The nine grandchildren of Gloriaís spent a week at the boys and girls camp at Kenosee, they enjoyed it very much.) What a great week for Jill Debenham and her girls at the Canadian Charolais Youth Association camp held at Yorkton July 22nd - 25th. Before they went Morgan was told that if she made the top 10 in one category that would be awesome. This was her first year at CCYA, was 3rd youngest there and was up against 35 other juniors up to age 13. She did amazing and is already asking to go to AB next year. Her placings were first in radio ad (individual marketing) she sold rango in ad, 2nd in oral reasons, 2nd in team marketing (with Jules Smyth) they sold Rango again, 4th in steer judging, 7th in heifer judging, 8th in keep and cull, 5th in art, 6th in photography, 4th in Herdman group, placed in top 10 of junior grand aggregate but canít remember exactly where and 1st with Rango in

her steer class. Such a great experience and great kids to help her out. A great final hurrah for her and Rango (although he could have acted better, she got stepped on by him but was a trooper and stayed until class was over). Proud of all Beck kids as everyone won something and placed in top 10 many times. (Information given to me by Grandma Debenham.) Thanks. YesóI still say 4H is a great organization for children to be in. How quickly the months pass the busy hours, how fast the moments fly - I hear this saying from the elderly and the younger folks. First off all to the folks of Wawota, Congratulations for holding two very special events within a week. I hear everyone attending the musical ride enjoyed it very much, and the Heritage Days was also well attended. Last Thursday Yvonne Bertalon had a surprise visit from Betty Penney of Arcola, after they spent the afternoon together Betty came to the bingo. Mary Jane Walsh, Sean and Jared of Langdon, AB spent a few days with her mother Enid LaRonge. Enid has had all her family visit this summer throughout the holiday season. Sylvain and Ann Dumonceaux have also had a busy holiday season with all their family home and celebrating special days with them. On Sat., Aug. 1st Sylvain and Ann attended the birthday party for Muriel Szell (95 years of age). Congratulations Muriel. She and Alex farmed in the Langbank area for some time before moving to Whitewood. Curtis Smyth of Spruce Groove, AB spent the weekend with his parents Murray and Leila Smyth. Welcome to Kennedy, Jack and Cathy Warner. They purchased the former Ed and Willie Rey home. Sunday, Aug. 2nd a graveside service was held at Fletwode for the late Martha Warner, there was a very nice attendance, (Mother Nature was great, it is always a pleasure for visitors to enjoy the scenery view at the church). Lunch was served at the former acreage owned by Jack and Cathy. August 1st four young ladies (8 years and under) decided to organize a lemonade and popcorn stand next to the coffee shop in Kennedy (the traffic is very limited) but the enthusiasm was great. They were raising money for the cancer societyóthis was well worth the effort-$35.85 was the total intake. What a great idea girls!!!! July 30th bingo at the Kennedy Friendship Centre was well attended. Carol Codling of Abbotsford, BC was a visitor and won a bingo, her granddaughters from Kenosee brought her, Carol spends every summer at Kenosee Lake and is the young age of 90 years (in very good health). Yes,

Obituaries Doris Silcox 1912-2015 Doris Silcox (nee Andrews), age 102, passed away at Moose Mountain Lodge, Carlyle, on Saturday, July 18, 2015. Doris is survived by her sons: Earl (Doreen), Regina; Lloyd (Norma), Calgary; daughter-in-law Gloria Silcox, Regina; four grandchildren: Kirby and Kelly Silcox; Kirsten Silcox and Todd (Monica) Silcox; four great-grandchildren: Breanna (Jesse Hodge; Chase Silcox; Devon and Mason Silcox-Schindler; two great-great-grandchildren: Oaklan and Beckham Hodge. Also surviving Doris are her sister-in-laws: Sheila Andrews, Abbotsford, B.C. and Jean McNabb, Hamilton, Ont. Dorisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nieces and nephews will remember Doris as a very special aunt. Doris was predeceased by her husband Harold (Fat) in 1980; her son, chief Superintendent Lynn Silcox in 2001; her parents John and Maragret Andrews (nee Ayre); and her Âżve younger siblings. Doris was born in Winnipeg on September 3, 1912 and received her education at Langbank, Kennedy, and Regina Normal School. She taught at Golden Springs school until her marriage to Harold in 1935. In 1945 the family moved to Carlyle to start the business known as S&B Service, later Silcox Esso. Over the years Doris was active in many Carlyle organizations - Eastern Star, Carlyle library, Home and School, Parks and Recreation, and the Rusty Relics Museum. She especially enjoyed her association with the Saskatchewan Natural History Society. She regularly corresponded with professors and botanists regarding Ă&#x20AC;ora and fauna of the area. In 1975 Doris and Fat moved to a farm east of Carlyle. Sadly Fat was only able to enjoy country living for Âżve years. Doris was artistic and over the years she painted in oils, acrylics, and water colours. She conducted art classes in Carlyle and surrounding towns. Her sketches illustrated many stories in the Folklore Magazine. Her maps of th early trails of the Moose Mountain Area can be found in the Carlyle and District History book, Âżrst edition. When age dictated Doris moved back to Carlyle, but she remained active with yard work, playing bridge, knitting, and crosswords. Over the years she knitted over 350 childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweaters that have been donated to family and to those less fortunate. She lived in her own home and attended to her own aĚ&#x2020;airs until the age of 96. In the fall of 2010 Coteau Place in Arcola became her new home and in October 2012 the move was made to Moose Mountain Lodge in Carlyle. At both locations Doris was treated with dignity, and respect and she received excellent care. Doris was a bright, independent woman who lived life on her own terms. To respect her wishes, her cremated remains will be interred at Glen Morris Cemetery in Carlyle at a later date. Flower gratefully declined. Donations in her memory can be made to Moose Mountain Lodge, Carlyle.

The writ is dropped By Linda Wegner For us Canadians, the Writ has been dropped, the gloves are oďŹ&#x20AC; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no holds barred. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to the polls. Reaching back to youthful memories, I recall snuggling close to a battery operated radio, tucked judiciously under the blankets, of course, and listening to news of any and every election. I never pretended to understand all the debates or issues but I was fascinated by the fervour with which speeches were delivered, intrigued by the predictions made by lauded experts on both or many sides of any argument. As a young teenager I even thought about a career in such a noble calling. That was more years ago than I care to recall. I am not going to comment on our upcoming election as such but here are a few of my thoughts on the matter of making choices in our personal as well as our national lives: first, we need the wisdom of God because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the beginning of true knowledge; next, by asking God for His wisdom, we can gain a better understanding of justice, equity and right living; finally, we need Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wisdom in order to enjoy life to its fullest. Throughout the biblical Wisdom Book, Proverbs, the virtues of wisdom are constantly extolled. Wisdom will preserve you, promote you, direct your steps and â&#x20AC;&#x153;keep your foot from being caughtâ&#x20AC;? (3:26; 4:1-9). When life pushes us to make convenient or hasty decisions, seeking to know Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ways in our personal lives is a source of the guidance and security that we need. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also given instructions when it comes to government. While we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control every decision they make, we are instructed to pray â&#x20AC;&#x153;forâ&#x20AC;Śall who are in authority that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverenceâ&#x20AC;?. He hears the prayer of the righteous.

Pause for By Ken Rolheiser www.kenrolheiser.com Reflection The time of man and the eternal now â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eternity is not something that begins after you are dead. It is all the time. We are in it now.â&#x20AC;? Charlotte Parkins Gilman Eternity is for a long time. Why not make it the best. This body, this soul we have, it will help define the heaven that God wants to share with us. Our awareness of this reality is crucial. A quality test, a soul MRI, can tell us immediately if we are on the right track. Our spiritual health is not dependent on age, physical fitness or the absence of pain and suďŹ&#x20AC;ering. Are you a friend of God? Of Jesus? Do you have friends in high places? In Heaven? Do you talk to God? To Angels? During each day we should frequently invite and recognize Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence. A special sign accompanies this acknowledgement: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. That is the spirit with which we should enter our lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities, be they an at-bat for the Blue Jays, a surgery, any activity of life, or even our entry into physical death. This is our time; this is our life; this is the opportunity to be the gift God has made us to be. This is our chance to know, love and serve our Creator and our world. A Limelighterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s song â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Time of Manâ&#x20AC;? addresses our opportunity with creation: Once there were trees and a river Once there was grass where you stand Once there were songs About rights instead of wrongs Once was the time of man. In a prophetic warning the song describes the possible abuse of nature and destruction of this Eden we are gifted with: Grass doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow on the hillside Trees shrink and die in the sun No place to hide my little babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes From the damage the dead have done. So now is the time to right the environmental wrongs. Now is the time to rebuild and heal the physical world around us. But most important â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now is the opportunity of our lifetimes to touch God and our fellow man. Our Father is waiting with joy and with open arms. Our brothers and sisters ache for our love. This is our time to act. We are in eternity now. We can improve the quality of that eternal joy and happiness God wants to share with us. A little eďŹ&#x20AC;ort daily will change our eternal reality. Now is the time to embrace the Gifts of God we received at Baptism. Christ literally lives in us as we become temples of the Holy Spirit and Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adopted sons and daughters. Heaven starts now. We are in eternity.

Hammering out world trade deals By Calvin Daniels When it comes to world trade the idea of free movement of goods is held up as an idea the world should aspire to. But when country oﬃcials sit down to hammer out trade deals there are more potholes to traverse than a three-hour drive on a secondary highway in Saskatchewan. A case in point Pacific Rim trade ministers recently failed to hammer out a deal to free up trade between a dozen nations after a dispute flared up over auto trade between Japan and North America, New Zealand dug in over dairy trade, and no agreement was reached on monopoly periods for nextgeneration drugs. The failure to achieve a deal probably is not a surprise to anyone. The more players at the table the more issues to overcome. There are many long standing areas of friction between long time trade partners which have a tendency to flare up again at a negotiation table.

If you doubt that think how often the United States pointed at the old Canadian Wheat Board as an issue even after courts had deemed it was not. Currently you can bet the issue of Country Of Origin Labelling (COOL) will be a raw nerve between the US and Canada for some time moving forward. Now consider what the Trans-Pacific Partnership was trying to accomplish. The TPT had trade ministers from the 12 nations negotiating toward a deal which would stretch from Japan to Chile and cover 40 per cent of the world economy. According to a recent story at www.producer. com “the TPP seeks to meld bilateral questions of market access for exports with one-size-fits-all standards on issues ranging from workers’ rights to environmental protection and dispute settlement between governments and foreign investors.” Those are pretty heady goals. And when the same story noted, “the talks, which drew about 650 negotiators, 150 journalists and hundreds of stakeholders,” you can bet every line oﬀ any deal was scrutinized and argued and

rebuﬀed over and over. The problem is simple, countries talk of a desire to freer trade, but in reality they mean they want easier access for their goods, yet to maintain a level of protection for their own favoured industries. The two are of course opposing viewpoints, albeit the motivation is understandable. Canada would like freer access for say pork, as we produce far more pork that we can consume domestically, so it must find and export home. But we’d also like to protect our dairy sector as there is a level of concern about relying on another country shipping a staple such as milk thousands of miles to have a mom pour on her family’s breakfast cereal each morning. In the end far-reaching trade deals are rarely accomplished simply, but rather by gaining small victories over the longer term. There will eventually be a TPP, but whether it is a widely meaningful deal, or merely a waterdowned deal signed to save face among politicians is yet to be seen.

Tyler Johnson: small size, big talent

Sports Wrap-up with Bruce Penton Almost guaranteed to happen this summer as the 2015-16 hockey season approaches: A skilled, but undersized young player in the 12- to 15-year-old range somewhere in Canada or the U.S. will be told by a wellmeaning hockey coach, or perhaps a father, that ‘you’re just too small to play this game.’ That kid might take that advice seriously and turn his attention to some other winter pastime, or he might look that well-meaning coach or loving father in the eye and say something like this: “If Tyler Johnson can do it, I can too.” Johnson is the latest diminutive player with super skills to show the hockey world that swift skating, nifty moves and acute hockey sense bests brawn any day. It worked for Theoren Fleury, it’s working in Montreal for Brendan Gallagher, it’s working for Calgary’s Kris Russell and it’s definitely working for Johnson. The Johnson story is one Hollywood might build a screenplay around. Small by pro hockey standards (5-foot-8), Johnson wasn’t drafted by any NHL team, even after starring (115 points in 2010-11) in the Western Hockey League with Spokane, his hometown team. The American speedster was signed as a free agent by Tamp Bay Lightning and now

he would command a king’s ransom if Tampa GM Steve Yzerman ever decided to offer him up for trade. Although the Lightning failed to win the Stanley Cup, falling in six games to the Blackhawks, Johnson certainly did his part. He tied for the playoff points lead with Patrick Kane of Chicago with 23, led all goal-scorers with 13 and, alongside super sniper Steven Stamkos, gave Tampa Bay an electrifying powerplay unit. It came out after the series ended that Johnson played the last few games of the final with a broken wrist, which explains his drop-off in scoring when Tampa Bay, which scored only 10 goals in six Stanley Cup Final games, needed it the most. Still, the wrist will heal, Johnson will enter the prime of his career (he turned 25 in July) and the skeptics who said a player his size will never make it to the NHL have long since consumed their heaping plates of crow. Only problem is, even though a guy his size might be able to easily slip under a limbo bar, he’ll never again be able to slip under the radar of opposing coaches.
