Students from Kindergarten to grade six participated in Manor School’s Jump Rope for Heart held on Friday, Feb. 27.

By Kelly Running Manor School once again raised funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation through their annual Jump Rope for Heart afternoon at the school.

This year Jump Rope for Heart was held on Friday, Feb. 27, with Kindergartens to grade sixes participating in the afternoon of fun.

Not only were they raising money for a good cause, but they were also earning points for their intramural teams through participating in the afternoon.

Manor School set out a goal of fundraising $1,500 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, which was met and surpassed with the students able to raise $2,017. The two top fundraisers this year were Aisa W. and Lacey M. The afternoon consisted of skipping rope individually, double Dutch, and numerous other skipping games. Additionally each grade had a skip off, followed by a school wide skip off. Also organized were various games for their intramural teams to earn points through or for individuals to earn points for their teams.

In the end the Crushers earned 230 points, Chargers and Blazers tied with 220 points, and the Warriors earned 205 points. These intramural teams bring the students together in team building and school spirit, which is important to Manor School.

Also important to Manor School is teaching youth about being proactive. Helping to raise funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation was something to do for some students, but for others it was

something that they had already dealt with in their families.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation invests in medical research at universities, hospitals, and in communities across the country, while it also promotes programs to raise educational awareness about health specifically related to heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes.

Since the Heart and Stroke Foundation was founded, in 1952, they have invested over $1.39 billion in heart and stroke research.

During this time death from heart disease and stroke has declined over 75 percent according to the Heart and Stroke Foundations website.

Research they have conducted has led to breakthroughs including the discovery of a hormone which controls blood pressure, the first heart transplant in Canada, and the ability to now identify 90 percent of all risk factors surrounding heart attacks and strokes.

Healthy living is an important aspect of teaching kids, which is what the Jump Rope for Heart aims to do.

In Canada it is reported that every seven minutes someone dies from either a heart attack or a stroke according to the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s website.

Additionally heart disease and strokes are actually two of the three leading causes of death in Canada, making it extremely important to promote a healthy and active lifestyle.

The risk factors in Canadians are also very high with nine out of 10 Canadians having at least one of these risk factors: smoking, alcohol, physical inactivity, obesity, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and diabetes.

Beyond the Poppy: Carlyle Legion contributes to community throughout the year

Photo submitted

The Carlyle branch of the Royal Canadian Legion #248 recently donated a Ursys 110 urine analyzer to the Carlyle Primary Health Clinic. A spokesperson for the Clinic says, “The Carlyle Primary Health Clinic would like to thank the Legion for this valuable piece of medical equipment.” Pictured are (l-r) Legion treasurer Clareen Makelki and Dr. Cathy Meyer. “This is just one of several donations the local Legion branch has been able to make, thanks to the excellent support we receive from our area during our annual Poppy Campaign,” says Makelki.

By Lynne Bell Thanks to “super, super support” of the Royal Canadian Legion’s annual Poppy Campaign, Carlyle Legion Branch #248 is able to support both veterans and their communities year-round.

“The Legion’s Poppy Campaign is a national campaign,” says Legion treasurer Clareen Makelki.

“Each Legion branch is expected to do the campaign in their own area. We’ve carried the campaign out in our area, and our communities’ support has been super. This has allowed us to make several very, very good donations over the years that not only benefit our veterans, but also the communities in which they live.”

“We’ve recently donated a urinalysis machine to the clinic in Carlyle,” says Makelki. “The Legion has also been able to fund two Broda chairs for Moose Mountain Lodge, as well as furniture for the visiting area of the Lodge. A Broda chair is a specialized wheelchair, which allows a client to be moved into different positions within the chair. Last year, we were also able to provide the Arcola Family Health Clinic with a portable ultrasound.”

“During the past two years, the Legion has funded two days of flying by STARS (Air Ambulance) and years ago, we donated a snowmobile rescue sled to the fire department in Carlyle. In both cases, these contributions allow medical personnel to reach accident victims in remote areas.”

Makelki says the Poppy Fund has strict parameters regarding the use of Poppy Fund contributions.

“We still do day-to-day fundraising for things like the Legion Hut in Carlyle, because money from the Poppy Campaign must be used towards contributions that benefit veterans and their communities directly. We have a strict set of rules regarding that and those funds cannot be used for funding local branches.”

“That’s why we still raise money by doing small catering jobs-such as selling lunches at the Oilmen’s Bonspiel in Carlyle-because we use that (non-Poppy Campaign) money for the Legion Hut.”

“It not only helps the Legion pay expenses for the Legion Hut, but it has also helped us with some recent improvements there,” adds Makelki. “The kitchen has just been completely redone. We had a very generous donations of some kitchen cupboards from Bev Dunn, whose dad, Nels, is a Legion member. Some of our guys-who ae also Legion members-did all of the work.

They’ve just been super.”

“That means the Legion Hut has a fully-equipped, newly-renovated kitchen, a large meeting room which has just been rewired and upgraded electrically by Southeast Electric, who did the work at a substantial discount, which we are so grateful for. The hut also has a small office and storage room, and of course, washrooms,” adds Makelki.

“The University of Saskatoon has rented the building for a rural medical research study, a weight-loss group meets there, families rent it for large gatherings and dinners, and it’s been used several times for safety training. It’s available to rent for a low and reasonable rate.”

“We also have a Wall of Honour paying tribute to our local veterans and a book with information about each one,” she says.

“All of the improvements to the hut are thanks to community organizations and individuals who have donated time and/or funds directly to our branch,”she says.

“We want the Legion to be active and out there in our communities,” says Makekli. “We do have younger members and they no longer have to be directly related to a veteran. Now we only have two types of veterans: regular members, who are veterans and associate members, who are everyone else.”

“The Legion tends to be a little bit forgotten, but we are working hard to benefit the community. If anyone is interested in any aspect of our work, we welcome their inquiries.”

For more information, contact Clareen Makelki at: 453-2797 or any Carlyle Legion member.

Carol Daniels drummed for the students of Arcola School to take part in a round dance.

By Kelly Running The month of February was Aboriginal Storytelling Month in Saskatchewan.

To celebrate this Arcola School welcomed Aboriginal artist, Carol Daniels, to do a presentation for the grades one to six, as well as a second presentation for the grades seven to 12.

Daniels began by explaining the significance of storytelling in Aboriginal culture and the importance of February being Aboriginal Storytelling Month.

“Stories are held in high regard in our culture,” Daniels stated. “We tell stories all year round, but when we lived in teepees and the weather was bad like it is in February they would want to stay inside. They would tell stories to entertain themselves and learn.”

Daniels, who is an artist and writer, told stories which were brought to life through art that she had created. The one story followed the progression of a young girl from a rural community in northern Saskatchewan to being accepted into a nursing program in Regina. This story she used to reinforce to the attending youth that their dreams are within reach if they work hard and think positively.

“Adults will tell you that you can do whatever you want and you can, but you have to work for it and make it happen,” Daniels stated. “You can pursue your dreams.”

Forget’s Happy Nun Cafe to host grand opening weekend March 13-15

By Lynne Bell Katie Vinge, chef and new owner of the Happy Nun Cafe says the purchase of the Forget institution is “a kind of homecoming,” and she and her partner, Riley Riddell are looking forward to welcoming guests during the Nun’s grand opening weekend, March 13-15.

Vinge and Riddell both have roots in southeastern Saskatchewan and plan to celebrate prairie food and culture as new custodians of the Nun’s legacy. “Riley is from Wawota,” says Vinge. “And I’m originally from Fairview, Alberta, but my family has a cabin at White Bear, so this is home for both of us now.” “(Previous owners) Shannon and Don Shakotko have done such a good job with the menu,” says Vinge. “I want to continue that. I want to make my own sauces, pickles, preserves, and butter. I’ll be making everything myself-bread, desserts, everything.”

“I’ve been really busy visiting suppliers in the southeast, doing lots of tastings and right now, I’m working on our menu. We want to include a list of suppliers with all of our menus.”

“For our opening weekend, we want to feature a bunch of favourites of both Riley and I,” says Vinge. “We’re coming up with a menu that includes all of our favourite things to eat. We want to give people a good idea about what are menus will be like, and we also want to let people know that we’re happy to accomodate food allergies and/or other dietary restrictions if they let us know in advance.” “(At time of writing) I’m still finalizing the menus, but our Friday and Saturday night supper service starts at 5 p.m., with our doors opening at 4:30. Sunday brunch runs from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. For brunch, we’ll feature a choice of four menu options-one sweet, two savoury, and one vegetarian dish.”

“Riley and I are both passionate about food,” says Vinge. “We’re both big believers in local food and we’re all about supporting Saskatchewan growers and producers. I’m looking forward to having a garden at the back of the Inn, too.”

“Don and Shannon will still be booking all the acts,” says Vinge. “On Saturday night, we have The Sturgeons-a folk/roots group from Winnipeg playing for our first

“On March 21, They’ve booked The Small Glories, on April 18, Leaf Rapids and Slow Leaves are coming and on May 30, Last Ditch on the Left and Twin Peaks are booked. They’re all incredible, award-winning musicians with deep prairie roots, and we’re thrilled that the musical legacy of the Nun will continue.”

“It’s been a long time coming for us,” says Vinge. “It’s the result of many years of dreaming and working towards that dream,” says Vinge. “We can’t wait to welcome people to The Happy Nun and we’re looking forward to serving and meeting them all.”

“It’s a special place and we’re looking forward to sharing it.”

Additionally she taught the youth about the differences of peoples across Canada, but more importantly about the similarities. One of her stories in fact involved an Inuit man from Nunavut who won a trip to Saskatchewan to the Tunnels of Moose Jaw. Daniels asked the students to imagine how it might be for someone who lived in the Arctic, where food, scenery, and infrastructure is vastly different. Though seeing a golden canola field or sea of purple flax is part of the everyday in Saskatchewan during the latter part of summer, it was new to Daniels’ character, the same way going to the arctic and seeing an iceberg would be.

One of the other interesting and educational points Daniels brought up was the ways the First Nations drums sound. She then proceeded to play hand drums made of deer hide, elk hide, and an Inuit drum which was made with a synthetic fiber.

Each one she had the youth close their eyes and imagine the deer leaping through the landscape or a large elk gracefully moving through the prairie. The final drum she played was the Inuit drum, which she depicts a whale hunt in Nunavut in the way it is played.

“Inuit hand drums were actually made of drift wood, because there are no trees up there, but drift wood would find its way to the shores from other places and the drums were made out of trees that were from places like Australia or elsewhere,” Daniels said. “To me it’s neat how it was then fashioned into a drum.”

Both sessions for the students in Arcola were finished with a round dance for the youth to take part in. The presentation was ultimately a celebration of youth and of the First Nations culture.

Cornerstone Theatre presents “Move Over Mrs. Markham”

Staff photo by Kelly Running

David Slykhuis and Colleen Easton will be bringing their characters to life on-stage for Cornerstone Theatre’s annual Dinner Theatre to be hosted on March 27, 28, with a matinee on March 29 in “Move Over Mrs. Markham.”

By Kelly Running Having formed in 1986 Cornerstone Theatre has presented numerous dramas and comedies to Carlyle and surrounding community for 29 years. They began hosting a comedic dinner theatre every year in the spring and this year is no different with the comedy, “Move Over Mrs. Markham,” by Ray Cooney, to be hosted on March 27 and 28 with a matinee on March 29 in Carlyle Memorial Hall.

A comedic play of mistaken identity, the farce is set in London on the top floor of a ritzy apartment.

The plot of the play follows a happily married, wealthy couple, Philip and Joanna Markham. Philip is a publisher who works alongside his business partner, Henry Lodge, and although Henry is married he is not faithful. He talks Philip into allowing him to use the Markham’s flat. Henry’s wife, Linda, is aware of the affair and decides to have one as well, which Joanna decides to let them have the flat.

With other characters coming and going, with plans going awry, and an unexpected guest stopping in, the Markhams and company will provide the audience with many laughs.

Director Doug Waldner explained, “Don [Carter] decided we should do it again. We had performed it in 2001 and the audience enjoyed it.”

It has therefore been 14 years since it was last performed and the cast, many of whom were in the first one, explained they didn’t remember the plot. Many of the Cornerstone Theatre group were in the play in 2001, but as different characters.

“It is a very funny play,” Joan Bue, one of the cast, stated.

Waldner added, “It’s not very often where you get a script and actually laugh while you’re reading it. A lot of time you need it brought to life before it is really funny, but this one is funny even when you read through it.”

Lane Easton, one of the cast members, was also in agreement, “This one [this script] is smart enough that you laugh when you read it.”

In addition to the script being funny, the cast has been working on the set and their interactions with each other and the props to create physical comedy as well.

“It’s quite in line with the farces we typically do: doors opening and closing, mistaken identities, and a lot of physical action,” Waldner said. “Actually about 80 to 90 percent of human communication is done non-verbally, so it’s very important to physically tell the story.”

Cornerstone Theatre has been working on the production for the last month and will now be working on bringing together their costumes, lines, physical comedy, and making sure the set is perfect before their big weekend on Friday, March 27, Saturday, March 28, and Sunday, March 29.

Supper will be served on the Friday and Saturday night showings at 7 p.m. with the performance beginning at 8 p.m. Tickets will be $35 and will include a delicious meal made by David and Shelley Slykhuis.

The Sunday matinee will be a dessert theatre with the show beginning at 2 p.m. for $20.

Tickets are on-sale now from The Pearl Boutique located on Main St. across from Memorial Hall.

Ian and Jerri Laird spent some time babysitting for son Tyler while he and his wife traveled to Cuba.

Families home from holidays are David and Nicki Ford, Rochelle Friesen, Kelton and Zoey, Scott and Jamie Finlay, Jordi who spent a couple of weeks at Disneyland. Rochelle and Kelton both celebrated birthdays while there.

The Kelly Greenbank family travelled to Hawaii where they enjoyed a holiday there. This included, Kelly and Wendy Greenbank, Mark and Shanwna Cudmore, Kerr and Kellyn, Rob and Kyla West, Theoren, Shasa and Logan, Tyrel and Jen Lamontagne, Heidi.

Sympathy to Janice Wilson and family on the passing of Winston Wilson. He was 87 years old and had been a resident of Deer View Lodge for the past years.

He never let you pass him without shaking your hand.

His funeral service was held at the Wawota Town Hall on Mar.2.

Sympathy also to wife

Gloria and Family and friends on the passing of Larry Edwards last week.

He was 71 years old and a lifelong resident of Wawota. He was involved in the community through the Town Council and other groups. He was also involved in many sports. His funeral service was held at the Wawota Town Hall on Mar. 4.

So many books, so little time... Last year I wrote about a delightful book entitled, “The Rosie Project” by Graeme Simsion. It was the story about Don Tillman, forty years old, extremely intelligent and organized and looking for a wife with specific attributes. As one would suspect all of these requirements fly out the window when he falls in love. I have just finished the sequel to this, “The Rosie Effect”. It is an interesting story of how Don Tillman copes in a life with unexpected incidents.

He needs to move outside his comfort zone and give up some of his rigidity and this causes for several humorous situations. A good story that is easy reading.

I saw an obituary (Redvers Optimist – February 21/2015) for Louise D’autremont of Prince Albert, SK who had passed away February 11, 2015 at the age of 93.

She was the wife of the late Charles D’autremont (2008). They had lived (south of Wauchope) on farm in the RM of Reciprocity # 32 near Cantal until they retired to Redvers in 1978 and later moved to Prince Albert in 1983.

Denis and Annette Boutin spent two weeks on a holiday tour to Australia and New Zealand, returning home February 26.

Prudent and Joey Mailhiot left on Sunday, February 22 for Regina to catch their flight to Cuba on February 23 where they spent a week’s holiday, returning home March 2.

We started the last round of Sunday breakfasts on March 1. It was Kitchen group #1 in charge of breakfast and they served up 44 breakfasts (sorry Parry couldn’t lie) to those

who ventured out. Group 2 takes over the helm next Sunday, March 8 and hopefully they can beat or at least meet the record number of 60 (which was set during the first week of breakfasts) – good luck guys and gals. Also just a reminder to those who come out to please use the (east) Kitchen door as the hall will be decorated and set up ready for drama so will try to stay on the east side of hall – thanks for understanding.

Gee it’s still cold out there, and especially so with the wind chill, but one of these days it IS going to warm up – you can feel the warmth of the old sun and it’s even kind of nice when no wind to spoil things. I guess March came in as a lion but there must of have been a lamb following close behind as it was one of those cold, but nice days with no wind. One week almost done, two more to go and then maybe just maybe the lambs will come out to play and stay out.

I’m waiting impatiently for spring – and I’m sure

I’m not alone on that subject. Only good thing about this cool weather is that one doesn’t feel guilty staying indoors and watching curling on television – Yah it’s Brier time now. Started curling on Saturday, February 28 and moving right along, with some unexpected wins and losses. Great curling happening so enjoy it while it lasts, it’ll be over before we know it – make sure to cheer for your favorite team – Go Saskatchewan – Go. I also feel sorry for those baby calves that have decided that it’s time to be born – what a cruel cold world to come into. Good luck to the farmers who are in the midst of calving.

Once again I’ll remind you to please give me a call (306-443-2496) or text (306-485-8561) or email (g.cowan@sasktel. net) with your news.

A Carnival Cruise Ship took families and friends on a week-long excursion from Orlando, Florida, Sunday, Feb. 15 to Sunday, Feb. 22. It included dancers from the Weyburn School of Dance and they did a special performance on board the Carnival Liberty Cruise Ship one delightful afternoon. There were about 3000 people on the ship with 700 children.

The young dancers – many from Carlyle - gave a fabulous presentation for their families and friends.

Fantastic! Before and after the dancing the cruise ship had many delights including spectacular food – one example was a “Chocolate Extravaganza!”

Managing Your Money – Financial literacy for seniors Financial literacy is a critical life skill for everybody and especially for older Canadians who may face new and varied financial challenges as they navigate their senior years.

Without sufficient financial literacy skills, seniors could be vulnerable to problems ranging from difficulties in managing their finances to falling victim to fraud and other forms of financial abuse.

That’s why the federal Financial Consumer Agency of Canada recently released a report, “National Strategy For Financial Literacy, Phase 1: Strengthening Seniors’ Financial Literacy*. The report is the result of a broad consultation process involving individual Canadians and a wide range of public, private and non-profit sector organizations. With the input and direction of these stakeholders, the report focuses on four goals as key priorities for strengthening seniors’ financial literacy: • Engage more Canadians in preparing for their future years as a senior.

• Help current seniors plan and manage their financial affairs.

• Improve understanding of and access to public benefits for seniors.

cial abuse can only partially be addressed through greater financial literacy.

• Much good work in the field of financial education is already happening across the country through the efforts of organizations in the private, public and non-profit sectors.

Improving seniors’ financial literacy is critical – but, as the report says, it’s not enough. Seniors (and those who will one day be seniors) also need expert support, direction and advice they can trust – and that makes a professional advisor a critical member of their financial team. *http://www.fcac-acfc. gc.ca/Eng/financialLiteracy/financialLiteracyCanada/strategy/Documents/ seniors_financial_literacy_ consultation.pdf This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc. (in Québec – a Financial Services Firm), and Investors Group Securities Inc. (in Québec, a firm in Financial Planning) presents general information only and is not a solicitation to buy or sell any investments.

Contact your own advisor for specific advice about your circumstances. For more information on this topic please contact your Investors Group Consultant.

• Increase tools to combat financial abuse of seniors.

The report says the needs for financial education and support vary widely among the seniors’ population. It also points out that research is important in developing effective programs to help seniors take the right actions and make sound decisions necessary to achieve their financial goals. Early planning and timely decisions have a major impact on seniors’ financial well-being, a reality the report addresses by noting that seniors need a broad base of support to ensure they can make confident and informed decisions on financial matters.

The report also emphasizes that: • Financial literacy is a significant, complex issue with many challenges.

• People require the right initiatives, tool and supports to take charge of their financial situation.

• It can be challenging for anyone to keep their financial knowledge and skills up to date.

• Financial education has its limits. It does not always translate into positive financial behaviours and outcomes.

Rural hospital fights continued

By Murray Mandryk More than two decades after the bitter hospital closure fights in rural Saskatchewan, the battle is still happening.

A n d w h a t ’s e v e n stranger is that some rural folks seem to now be battling a very rural-based Saskatchewan Party government.

This is certainly what residents of Craik have been doing in their battle to keep both their doctor and hospital services.

About 70 Craik residents showed up for the opening day of the spring sitting to send a very loud message regarding the possible loss of their doctor that they feel is an attempt by the Five Hills Health Region to force the closure of their hospital facility.

Again, this seems an odd fight to be seeing, especially given the rhetoric from the Five Hills about wanting to work with the community and what we’ve heard from this Sask. Party government about the need to attract doctors to rural and remote locations.

But the boisterous protesters from Craik, Central Butte and as far away as Coronach were not buying the government’s and health region’s rhetoric. Really, their anger was all too reminiscent of those 1993 rallies after the closure/conversion of 52 rural hospitals in the name of cost-cutting and balancing the budget.

In fact, sporting signs calling on the government to “Do the Right Thing” and “Stop Rural Health Erosion”, it was almost as if we had gone back 22 years in time.

“We just have to have health care restored back in rural Saskatchewan,” Craik Rural Municipality Reeve Hilton Spencer told the crowd while carrying

a sign saying: “Leaned too Hard?” The reference was to the Sask. Party government’s much-prized “lean” efficiency program.

“This isn’t just a Craik issue, it’s a rural Saskatchewan issue,” added David Ashdown, another Craik resident who also expressed his town’s frustration over the Five Hills Health Region and its unwillingness to listen.

The specific nature of this fight might suggest it’s just a Craik issue.

Residents noted the eagerness of Five Hills to force their doctor to sign a contract that would mean relocating to Davidson where services can be more easily consolidated.

Inside the legislature that day, Premier Brad Wall promised that Craik would maintain four-day-a-week doctor services and a nurse practitioner five days a week. But that’s well short of the goal of the town to keep their doctor and keep providing emergency medical services.

Prior to the legislature rally, Spencer wrote a letter to Rural and Remote Health Minister Greg Ottenbreit in January accusing Five Hills of wanting “to get rid of the doctor, lab and emergency” and openly questioning the government’s commitment to rural hospitals.

Admittedly, the notion of one single doctor in Craik providing redundant emergency medical services

to Davidson 30 kilometres away does seem questionable. For the community to demand EMS under these circumstances does seem to be over-reaching.

But having witnessed the demise of hospitals in other communities, one gets why Craik residents are not only fighting to keep their doctor but fighting to keep every conceivable service to keep their medical facility viable.

So in that sense, it’s similar to the fights we are still seeing all across rural Saskatchewan.

Even the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities passed resolutions last year calling on government to change to the regional health authority board structure so that rural Saskatchewan could have adequate representation on boards and for regional authorities “to work with rural Saskatchewan to best address health care needs”.

A d m i t t e d l y, s o m e communities are having better success than others.

Mere days after the Craik rally at the legislature, Radville had its official opening of its new hospital/nursing home facility that would be envied most anywhere.

But in rural Saskatchewan where there continues to be winners and losers in battle to keep doctors and hospitals, this old fight has not gone away.

No need to scream to be heard!

Carlyle Midget Cougars battle Assiniboia to move on in Provincial B competition

Trystyn McKay stands in goal prepared for what’s to come during the match between the Carlyle Midget Cougars and the Assiniboia Nelson GM Stingers on Saturday, Feb. 28. (Sebastian Bell/ The Assiniboia Times)

The Carlyle Midget Cougars travelled to Assiniboia for the second game in the Provincial B two game total point series against the Assiniboia Nelson GM Stingers on Saturday, Feb. 28.

Carlyle went into the game with a seven point lead after capturing game one earlier in the week with a score of 8-1.

Cooper Fox started off with the first goal in period one assisted by Devon Stewart. The battle continued through the first period with a score of 1-0 heading into period two. Aaron Roth came out in the second period to score goal number two unassisted.

Minutes later Bryden Silzer battled back to put one up on the board for the Stingers assisted by teammates Connor MacMillian and Clay Bouvier. Only seconds later the Stingers came up with another by Carson Bell assisted by Bailey Miller and Tristen Walters putting the score at 2-2 at the end of the second period.

The Cougars came out flying in the third period.

Aaron Roth put away two more goals assisted by Jake MacLeod, Cooper Fox and Sam Matthewson. The Cougars kept up the pace with Cooper Fox scoring goal number five assisted by Devon Stewart and Walker Hengen.

The Cougars were in good shape heading into the final minutes of the third when Hengen scored assisted

by Jack Easton and Jory Dyck putting the score at 6-2.

With 2:24 left in the third Carson Harcourt, assisted

by Aaron Roth and Jacob Chalus, scored to post the final score of 7-2.

The Cougars will now move on to round three.

Watch for posters for the next home game.

Pee Wee Cougars ready for playoff action Carrie Pelletier Sports Contributor February was quite the roller coaster ride for the Pee Wee Cougar’s. After their initial win against Arcola on the 1st, they headed to Redvers the next day. Disappointingly, the young Cats weren’t on their game and were defeated 13 – 0.

Next up, the team hit the road and headed to Oxbow on the sixth.

Showing marked improvement, the Cougars tasted victory in an 8 -4 win. For their third

away game in a row, the Cougar’s met up with the Arcola Combines on the 9th for another tussle. They won once again with a final score of 10-5. Then, on Tuesday the 10th, Carnduff came to town. Despite some great effort, Carlyle lost 6-4. However, Friday the thirteenth proved lucky for the young Cats as they took on Wawota and came away with a 13 – 3 win.

In the last game of the regular season, Carievale came to town on the 14th.

Regrettably, Carlyle came up short enduring a 9-6

loss. Despite ending the season on a low note, the Cougars had a lot to celebrate as they placed 4th in their league. The young Cats hit the road together for one last hurrah at a tournament held in Moosomin.

Throughout the season, the Cougars displayed lots of hard work and steady progress, combined with glimpses of brilliance. They posses all the right elements to attain success in the playoffs. I predict another interesting ride!

Sports Wrap-up with Bruce Penton

– Some NHL teams could win for losing

National Hockey League teams which normally go to great lengths to “win one for the Gipper” might be secretly trying to “lose one for McDavid” in the coming weeks.

No one connected to the NHL — player, coach, league official — would ever give credence to such a scandalous scenario, but when the future wellbeing of your hockey team is at stake, a few ‘missed’ shots, ‘errant’ passes or ‘upper body’ injuries in the NHL’s stretch drive might be the answer to your franchise’s long-term health.

Connor McDavid of the Erie Otters, experts say, is a ‘franchise’ player. He could transform a moribund franchise such as Buffalo, Columbus or Edmonton into an instant Stanley Cup contender, as long as a few other teambuilding planks were in place. McDavid (or perhaps Jack Eichel, an American college player with similar skill level) will undoubtedly go No. 1 and the team that wins the right to pick first in June’s NHL draft will be as giddy as a lottery winner picking up the oversized cheque.

‘Lottery’ is the perfect comparison, because the NHL uses a draft lottery to determine the order of selection in the draft.

In the old days, the lastplace team picked first, the second-worst team picked second, etc., until a few bottom-feeding teams start-

ed to use nefarious means (losing on purpose, wink, wink) to finish last at any cost.

Now, all 14 teams missing the playoffs have a chance at the No. 1 pick.

Chances are better for teams finishing closer to the bottom and reduced for teams barely missing the playoffs, but the chance remains for all. The team finishing at the bottom of the standings (currently, Buffalo is comfortably ahead of Edmonton in the race to be first among the worst) has a 20-per-cent chance of picking No. 1.

Second-worst has an 18.5 per cent chance. Those ‘chances’ for No. 1 pick dwindle to a one-per-cent opportunity for the nonplayoff team with the highest point total.

The NHL believes the lottery will eliminate the need for anyone to purposely throw a game or two down the stretch. And it might, because players have pride, always want to win, and don’t always share management’s burning de$ire to fill the building for every home game.

Meanwhile, as Nashville, Montreal, Anaheim, the Islanders and a few others covet the Cup, a number of struggling teams in the NHL have different motivations.

• Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “Anderson Silva is back in UFC action. Thirteen months after breaking his leg, he’s back trying to break other people’s legs.”

• Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “Tiger Woods announced he is going to take a leave of absence. Tiger plans to relax and take a low-paying cubicle job that will give him a chance to enjoy hours of commuting in heavy traffic.”

• Bob Molinaro of Hampton Roads (Va.) pilotonline. com: “Of all people, Mike Ditka said that if he had an eight-year-old son, he wouldn’t allow him to play

football, saying ‘I think the risk is worse than the reward.’ Ditka coming out against kids playing football is like the Pope telling Catholics to sleep in on Sundays.”

• Greg Cote again, after Jacksonville kicker Josh Scobee challenged struggling Tiger Woods to a round of golf for big money: “As if playing for the Jaguars wasn’t embarrassing enough?”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “The Minnesota Timberwolves’ Lodge Burger is the NBA’s best arena hamburger, according to a survey cited by the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Apparently the No. 1 hot dog designation went out the door with Dennis Rodman.”

• Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “Nice of Alex Rodriguez to apologize for his ‘mistakes.’ Hey, at least he didn’t refer to his serial lying and cheating as ‘oopsies’.”

• Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “Reviews of ‘50 Shades of Grey’ aren’t great. But in New York, anyone wanting to see some real torture can always buy Knicks tickets.”

• TC in BC: “Tom Brady has given the truck he won for Super Bowl MVP to defensive hero Malcolm Butler. Marshawn Lynch asked, ‘Did he throw him the keys or just hand them off to him?’”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, 56, ran a 5.53 40yard dash to benefit charity.

Then he fined himself for wearing non-sanctioned socks.”

• Janice Hough on the same subject: “Roger Goodell, 56, ran the 40-yard dash this week, in a very respectable 5.53 seconds. Assume Goodell did it by imagining he was running away from tough questions.”

• Another one from Hough:

“The beagle that won ‘Best in Show’ at the Westminster Dog Show, and thus became ‘America’s Dog’, is actually Canadian. Another immigrant taking something away from Americans. I

Submitted by the Southeast Vipers Volleyball Club The 15U Southeast Vipers attended a 20-team tournament on Saturday, Feb. 28, and Sunday, March 1, in Regina.

The girls were in a pool of five having to compete against Regina’s 14U QCVC Elite first. This match was hard fought and went to three sets with the younger team barely getting the edge on the Vipers.

Speaking with the QCVC coach later about their team it was found they picked the top 12 out of approximately 90 girls who tried out for the team.

The girls then won against the 15U QCVC Purple 2 in two sets. They fought hard in their next matches against Saskatoon’s JCVC team and had a close match against Estevan, though they were unable to clinch victories over them.

This lined them up to play against the Moose Jaw Panthers Sunday morning.

The girls had a tough time finding their spark in this game, but with a few hours off before their next match they refocused and came out strong.

They met RVC Gold, another Regina team, and this time there was no stopping them. One of the girls went on a serving run and the Vipers forced the other team to make errors by giving them toughly placed and hard hit balls.

This win propelled them into playing for 13th place against the 14U

Opinion

Becoming who I think I am

Opinion Honesty, integrity, and grit

By Shelley Luedtke

W

hen my daughters were little I was able to be at home with them. I was excited about taking on a new role in becoming a mom and I learned a lot as I developed a shift in focus and priorities. Day planners were replaced with diaper changes, reports were exchanged for children’s books, and discussions at meetings became mommy/daughter talks. It was wonderful.

Before becoming a mom I had time to consider what the changes would mean and how it would affect my thoughts, attitudes and approach to each day. Since it was something I very much wanted and prepared for, the changes were welcomed. But there were surprises that came too--big and little--as we maneuvered through these new experiences.

Our new schedules meant that I could sometimes catch-up with a soap opera I had watched when I was in university years before. This isn’t my typical viewing choice but it was fun re-visiting a show which had often served as a study break for me. Months later I was watching the Daytime Emmy Awards while doing some cleaning, and when an actress who had returned to the soap for a brief run was given the best actress award I shut off the vacuum and was shocked to hear myself exclaim (out loud), “Her? You’ve got to be kidding me. Why her?”

This was followed by a quick look around the living room to ensure I was alone and no one had heard my outburst. Who was this person I had become? When had I turned into someone who cared about who won a daytime Emmy?

We can point to many experiences in life that have impacted profoundly the person we are; becoming a parent, a change in career, an illness, the things that have left an indelible mark.

Other events may be less significant but nonetheless serve to shape who we are… or, more importantly, shape who we are becoming.

When I voted in my first election I was decisive in my choice. In the years since, the issues have become increasingly muddled as I have gained more experience in seeing how these things play out in the lives of those around me. People I’ve met, books I’ve read, stories I’ve heard, the growth in my faith, and places I have gone have had their effect on me, how

Friday, March 6, 2015

I perceive the world around me, and especially how I see my place in it.

In 1965 Martin Luther King asked people from across the United States to join (at tremendous risk) a walk with black Americans from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama to exercise their constitutional right to register to vote. These risks were played out dramatically in the movie “Selma” and it was inspiring to see those who took up the challenge. I was moved by their courage and want to believe that if I was presented with that challenge…I would answer. I want to believe that is the person I am. I want to believe that I am someone who when pressed to do the hard thing…would do it.

I have had to make tough choices in my life and do what I knew to be right even though the cost was high.

But in those instances it was about my own life and circumstances. What would I do for someone else? Would I be willing to stand with a friend, neighbor or stranger in a potentially dangerous situation? I want to say yes…I want to believe that I am the person I think I am, but in order to answer that I have to question the smaller ways in which I may, or may not stand up for others. How do I respond when I hear malicious gossip, ethnic slurs, or distasteful jokes? How willing am I to be the one in the room to stand against that?

How we respond to comments at the expense of others is one of the benchmarks of who we are. The way we stand with each other in those things will put us on the path to standing up for what truly matters to us when others have fled. Each day is an opportunity to move closer to being the people we believe we can be.

That’s my outlook.

“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” ~ John C. Maxwell his past weekend I was in Regina with the Vipers 15U team. They continually impress me and are so good to each other; they honestly embody what it means to be a team.

On the first day of the tournament the girls had a bit of a tough time bringing things together, but they played hard. We took many of the girls based on their abilities, but we also took them based on their character and despite us preaching being good, honest, and having integrity they already had these qualities.

Last weekend one of the girls, the one we made captain actually, impressed me even more. She’s not only a smart and skilled player, but she embodies the upstanding character player we wanted on the team, as all the girls are, but this is a specific example of one.

The other team had 24 points and hit the ball to our side, the girls went up to block and the ball passed by them going out. She turned to the ref and let him know she had touched the ball. The match went to the other side.

But, had she not said anything it would have been cheating. She had touched the ball and that meant it was the other team’s point. Some of the people watching from other teams looked surprised that a player wouldn’t hide the fact they had touched the ball.

The ref missed it, so why not take the point?

In my opinion she did the right

thing, she played her heart out and did an extremely good job, but not only did she play her hardest, she played with integrity and honesty on a point which may not have been easy for most to uphold these qualities.

There are other philosophies out there, where if the ref didn’t see the touch you keep quiet. These are the people that when you’re watching in a match will turn away from the ref and make an “oh my gosh I just got away with that” face.

Her mom later told me that a coach from another team stopped her later and told her what she did was very classy. A random stranger complimented her for being honest.

She’s a very good leader on the team because of that and the quote above personifies her. The amazing thing is any one of the young ladies on the team actually fits this mold and had they been the one to touch the ball any one of them I believe would turn to let the ref know they didn’t deserve the point, that they had touched the ball.

Additionally people talk about youth not having work ethic anymore and being lazy and to be honest, I used to agree somewhat; but, this team is made up of kids from grades seven to ten from across the southeast who are all tough and hardworking. They work so hard out there on the court that I can’t imagine them not working hard whether it is at school or at work.

They’ve actually changed my opinion of what I thought youth were beginning to turn out to be. Although, people look at my generation as lazy and entitled too, so I should have known better.

Obviously this is not always the case as many kids do seem as though they are entitled in today’s society, which is where the umbrella encompassing all youth seems to be taken from, the few, although this is how any stereotype works.

They’re tougher than I thought. In a practice game the other day one of the girls actually got hit in the face, a time out was taken for the stinging to subside, and then she said she was fine to go back in. The person who had hit her in the face was serving and welcomed her back after the time out by sending the ball her way. She passed a perfect one to the setter immediately.

She never complained and just dug in to finish off the game like nothing had happened playing just as hard after as she had before.

Lifestyles

iscovering one’s passion is a major step in changing careers. It is, however, just one step. As obvious as it may seem, it’s not only important to know what you want to do, it’s also vital to remember why you’ve chosen that option.

In an earlier blog I noted that, for me, writing seemed like the sensible fit. I was forever jotting down ideas for stories and articles and editors from local newspapers and national magazines had deemed my work worthy of publication. It was the perfect choice for this life-changing situation. At least it seemed that way so long as I remembered why.

Because our situation had changed so quickly I found myself caught up in the busyness of business: create a budget before purchasing a proper desk, office supplies and business cards, make phone calls and send out resumes, contact editors, set fees and begin searching for work. A lot of work.

As my emerging dream began to gain substance and form, so did the cold, hard reality of expenses verses revenue and the number of opportunities compared to the skilled and experienced writers waiting to take advantage of them. I began to replay those negative opinions that been expressed to me mere weeks before.

In an act of defiance against the voices telling me I’d never make it, I made a list of my specific reasons for choosing writing as a career and I pinned it above my computer screen. I focused on the things that I loved to do while accepting that dreams can change shape in the process of becoming a reality. Of all I’d already learned and accomplished, however, the two greatest lessons were these: changing careers isn’t for cowards and, I wasn’t alone.

“Casting all your care upon Him for He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV)

Through the Lens

By Moose Mountain Photography Club

A bird does not sing because it has an answer.

It sings because it has a song. ~ Chinese Proverb

Pause for Reflection

By Ken Rolheiser www.kenrolheiser.com

It’s a matter of life and death If you ever get caught sleeping on the job, slowly raise your head and say, “In Jesus name, amen.”

In a sense we have all been asleep as Christians. Too many decisions in this world are made to be popular and politically correct. Our outrage comes too late.

A crowd, by definition, is a group of people moving without direction. Jesus came to give us direction. Don’t follow the crowd on moral issues. Better to be unpopular for a short time and right for all eternity.

A recent headline read “Canada’s Supreme Court Reverses Its Earlier Ruling on Assisted Suicide”. In a related article John Burger cited the following cases: “…a depressed healthy man who was recently retired, but alone and lonely, died by euthanasia in the Netherlands. In Belgium, a healthy depressed woman died from euthanasia after experiencing the break-up of a long-term relationship. In Switzerland, a man died by assisted suicide after receiving a wrong diagnosis.”

The Saskatchewan Pro Life Association now raises this alarm: “The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan (CPSS) have a proposed policy that would require doctors in Saskatchewan to refer for, or in some cases provide, services to which they are morally opposed.

“This could include assisted suicide or abortion.

Some physicians may leave the province rather than comply with such a policy. Others will suffer moral distress that will compromise their care for their patients.

Saskatchewan physicians should be free to engage their consciences and honour their commitment to do no harm

[Hippocratic Oath].

“This is an URGENT matter. The CPSS wants to control our doctors. Let’s make it LOUD and clear to them that we demand and appreciate our doctors’ freedom of conscience.”

I favour a practical Christian approach to issues raised about life. To borrow a phrase from Father Miec, “I was born at a very young age – nine months.” I am glad my life was respected during those nine months.

I recently saw an ultrasound of my new grandchild.

The image was beautiful and very recognizable as a baby at twelve weeks. I shudder to think of the painful deaths inflicted on so many innocents even beyond this age. I don’t mean to sensationalize, only to be moral.

As a child I faithfully prayed: “from this moment I accept whatsoever death thou shalt send me, and I offer up all the pain and suffering for my salvation.” This suffering is united with the suffering of Christ to save the entire world.

Pope Francis in his message for World Day of the Sick said, “‘Quality of life’ proponents who think the gravely ill lead lives not worth living are peddling a great lie… they make people think that lives affected by grave illness are not worth living.”

Spending time with the sick and infirm, Pope Francis said, “is holy time. It is a way of praising God who conforms us to the image of his son, who came not to be served but to serve, and it is a great path to sanctification”.

As Christians on life’s journey we have ever before us the model of how Jesus faced suffering and death.

Nicole Andrew - Week 5

Letters from Africa T his week marks 5 weeks since I left home. In one sense it feels like I just got here and in the next breath it feels like I’ve been here for months and it feels so comfortable and natural!

Africa has taught me a lot in these 5 weeks. For example, not everyone has seen a white person before and that can be a very scary thing! Animals aren’t always seen as pets and to a large degree, unless you’re a white person living in Africa, a dog is simply a lawn ornament, cats just need to be chased out of the house and everything else can be food or money at some time or another as necessary. Is it animal cruelty? Maybe so, but I think more than anything it’s survival of the ¿ttest. I’ve learned that not everyone wants to cuddle and love kids the way I do, and that’s okay!

I also know now to lock the windows upstairs to keep the hungry monkeys out of the house! I’ve also learned that as much as most people think being a white person in a place like Kenya is an advantage, it’s also a huge disadvantage. I also know that no amount of money I’m going to raise or could give to these people is going to save them or rescue them from their situation. And at the end of the day I’ve learned that life just isn’t fair.

Through all of these lessons however, I’ve learned that everyone is longing to be loved. Everyone is going through a struggle that I know nothing about and their laughter and smiles and their outwardly being the happiest people I’ve ever met, doesn’t mean they don’t have pasts or stories that bring a wave of hurt and pain that I will never understand. I’ve learned that Kenyan’s are human the same way Asians are human the same way that Europeans are human the same way that you and I are human. We all have feelings, dreams, goals and struggles.

We all go through our days doing the best we can and maybe wishing things were different and so we work extra hard to change things. I’ve learned that a hug is universal, but that it can also be a way to celebrate in victories, to comfort in struggles and love when words fail you.

But I think the most important thing I’ve come to realize is that although I’m in a third world country, and the quality of life isn’t what it should be or what I wish it was, the value of life is just the same as it should be anywhere else in the world.

This is something I wish all people knew and could experience to be true. To a degree, I think that’s a mes-

sage they receive when you spend time with them, loving them and care about them. When they have spent their whole lives struggling, hurting, hungry and alone, ¿ghting every day for a job, to put food on the table, I know at least for myself anyways, I would truly believe that the value of my life is miniscule. Some already know the quality of life isn’t much to speak of, but all of a sudden the value of life goes down right along with it. Then one person comes along and takes the time to smile at them, to give them a hug, to tell them that they aren’t here to visit once and forget who they are, and that they look forward to visiting them again next week, to bring a gift as small as a sucker to show them that you value who they are and the struggle they go through day-by-day. When you are able to be that person, you see their smile, the happiness in their eyes and there’s something about them that tells

you that for this short moment you’re a part of their lives, that they are letting you into their world, they feel valued and important and loved.

I’ve met many children and families during my time here that I wish I could do more for. I know I can’t save them and I know that even if I could save every child I’ve met so far, make sure they were never hungry or abused or alone ever again, there would still be thousands more that I wouldn’t be able to save. And as defeating as that sounds, it makes it even more important that the few kids I have been able to spend time with know that although I might not be able to ¿x all the things their go-

ing through, that I do care, that I do love them and that if I could save them and steal them and make sure nothing bad ever happened to them again that I would, because they are valued. They are loved. They are important. And each and every one of them is precious beyond words. I believe that is a message that can be paid forward no matter who you are or what situation you come from.

It might be the same message I’ve written to you for weeks on end, and I apologize for sounding redundant but, how many people do you cross in a day that questions their value of life. I bet their quality of life is pretty good, but think about the issues we have all around us today. Bullying, suicide, self harm, the gossip that happens thanks to social media, how much of it would change if we took 2 minutes from time to time to take into consideration the value of someone over ourselves? That goes not just for the random stranger you pass on the street, but for your son or daughter, for your mom or dad, your husband or wife. What would happen if a teen-age girl put value on the life of the person they are about to bash or start a rumor about? What if that mom leaves her TV show or puts her phone down long enough to tuck her son into bed at night, to say “I love you” and make sure that he falls asleep at night knowing he’s cared about? What if I valued the person in a rush on the road to let them pull out in front of me, even if they should have waited for me?

What if I told you that the size of your house, the value of your car or the number of medals and achievements you have to your name, the “quality” of your life, doesn’t determine whether your life has value or not.

Being human determines the fact that you have value. And it’s not a matter of how much or how little value one person has over another. Everyone is valuable and deserves to be treated with value. Period. Regardless of the quality of life people currently ¿nd themself in, I think we could all bene¿t in being reminded that it’s the value of life that’s most important.

I would love to hear from you back home, any questions you have or inquiries, or something speci¿c you would like to hear more about! Please feel free to email me at anytime at casey.nicole@outlook.com or to check out my blog and leave a comment there and give me some feed back!

The Wawota chapter of Canadian Parents for French hosted the second annual Winter Spirit Festival/Festival Esprit d’Hiver on Saturday, Feb. 28 in Wawota.

Chapter president Sarah Weatherald says, “We want to welcome people of all ages, and we want to promote more engagement, opportunities, and awareness surrounding the positive aspects of speaking French.” (l-r) Madam Monique Meyers teaches the art of the arrow belt (cienture fleche) to Lilli Husband and William Husband.

Wawota’s Winter Spirit Festival/Festival Esprit d’Hiver featured engaging outdoor and indoor events for all ages, including youth activity stations, skating (patinage), tobogganing (luge), bingo (loto), sleigh rides (promenade en traineau), and for the first time, a fun triathalon. Here, organizer Sarah Husband readies the teams for take off.

A new addition to this year’s Winter Spirit Festival/Festival Esprit d’Hiver in Wawota was the triathalon. The good-natured competition featured a human dog sled race, hockey golf, and human curling, where participants pushed a member of their team on an inner tube past the hog line to score points.

Participants of all ages enjoyed Wawota’s second annual Winter Spirit Festival/ Festival Esprit d’Hiver on Saturday, Feb. 28. The celebration was organized by the Wawota chapter of Canadian Parents for French. Chapter president Sarah Weatherald says, “Learning a second language can benefit everyone.

For the young, it can open up opportunities and broaden cultural awareness.

For adults, learning another language has proven to benefit brain health.”

Barbara Dennis of Wawota has shared her quilting expertise at the festival since it’s first year.

Now in its second successful year, Wawota’s Winter Spirit Festival/Festival Esprit d’Hiver is fulfilling its mission to encourage bilingualism and learning French. “Sometimes people are very intimidated by the idea of learning a second language,” says Sarah Weatherald, Wawota chapter president of Canadian Parents for French. “They really shouldn’t be. It’s never too late to learn French. It can be a fun thing to do, a hobby, or even a resource for travel. With the Festival, we try to make it a fun and welcoming event.”

Another tool now available for Saskatchewan students to report bullying Education Minister Don Morgan joined Saskatoon Crime Stoppers President Mark Dolan, as well as students and teachers at Brunskill Elementary School, to celebrate another community partnership in the government’s response to address bullying and cyberbullying. The Government of Saskatchewan is committing $107,500 over two years to Crimes Stoppers Saskatchewan to allow students to anonymously text or phone in reports of bullying behavior.

“The government is committed to ensuring that students feel safe and welcome in their schools and communities, and this is another way we are continuing to address bullying and cyberbullying in our province,” Morgan said. “While we launched an online anonymous reporting tool last spring, this new service

from Crime Stoppers will provide students with even more choice when reporting these instances safely and anonymously by phone or text.”

The Ministry of Education values the working relationship with a number of community partners and this additional partnership with Crime Stoppers demonstrates the ongoing commitment to address bullying and support the children and youth of Saskatchewan.

“Crime Stoppers is pleased to support students by providing a tool to safely and anonymously report bullying,” Dolan said. “The hallmark of Crime Stoppers is anonymity and students can feel confident in this as we have no method of tracking who provides information.”

“On behalf of Commissionaires North Saskatchewan Division and our 1,000 employees, we are pleased to be able to of-

fer our sponsorship to such a meaningful initiative,” Commissionaires North Saskatchewan Division Chief Executive Officer Mike Cooper said. “This is our way of giving back to the community which we have been a part of for the past 67 years. We feel very strongly that with the government’s commitment, and using the Crime Stoppers Program as a tool, that we will be successful in curbing this serious problem of bullying and cyberbullying in our province.”

“Reports concerning bullying and cyberbullying are something our officers respond to on a regular basis,” Saskatoon Police Service Acting Chief Mark Chatterbok said. “The government’s commitment to youth safety, partnered with the effectiveness of the Crime Stoppers program, will benefit young people and the community as a whole.”

By Calvin Daniels Flying drones are drawing tons of attention these days.

Popular weekly television dramas such as ‘Hawaii Five-O’ and ‘NCIS: LA’ have aired episodes in recent months with drones posing a threat as gun-toting, bombbearing, kill machines.

News headlines have drones crashing into the White House and being used to ferry drugs from Mexico into the United States.

The above brings the threat such drone technology might pose sharply into the minds of the general public.

On the other side of the equation sits sectors such as agriculture, which see the drones as a tool which could aid in everything from attacking individual weeds in a field, to creating better topographical maps of farm fields.

Drones are also exciting tech for farmers, offered Peter Gredig with AgNition Inc. at a meeting held in Canora, SK. in February.

“They have a big potential for agriculture … Everybody is excited about them,” he said, but again added they are at the ‘hype’ stage. “I still think the technology is ahead of the agronomy.”

The initial thought is to use the drone for aerial mapping of fields, but Gredig expects varied uses to be developed. He said one Saskatchewan designer has created a small spray tank, and using identifying tech it can hoover over a single weed and apply chemical.

Like many technologies, they can be used for good things in the right hands, and for bad in another’s hands.

With extremes in possibilities, governments are left in the no-man’s land in the middle trying to determine if they can deal with the potential threats and allow worthy development by establishing regulations.

As governments are apt to do, they either ignore the situation completely, or make bad policy when they do The Stoughton Lions Club are please to announce

try to establish balance.

South of the 49th parallel the Federal Aviation Administration in the United States is trying its hand at creating a ruleset for flying drones.

Two of the draft rules have already been singled out for criticism by farmers.

The first is a requirement pilots remain in visual contact with their drones at all times.

The second is a height restriction which limits the crafts to flying no more than 500 feet above ground.

Farmers and drone operators say these constraints would limit a drone’s range and consequently its usefulness.

The above rules would indeed seem to put a definite crimp in the potential use of flying drones, not just for farmers, but the forestry sector, wildlife management, and even search and rescue.

That said we also live in a time where the public has a taste for greater control if they are perceived as being a deterrent to possible terrorist activities.

We only need to look to Ottawa to see that situation clearly. In January the Conservatives introduced Bill C-51, suggesting the Canadian Security Intelligence Service needs expanded powers to combat terrorist threats to Canada.

The opposition New Democrats, along with various security experts, academics, and privacy advocates have been quick to warn the new powers given to CSIS can be used to investigate a lot more than just terrorism. Under the proposed law, threats to Canada’s infrastructure, economic stability, and diplomatic relations, are all fair game for Canada’s spy agency.

Among the concerns are that CSIS would be given a larger mandate and expanded powers — including the ability to break the law or violate Charter rights, with judicial approval.

An overreaction to terrorism to be sure, but one which many in the public are swallowing as they react to fear.

How flying drones are mandated will fall into the same vein. Fear, rather than rational thinking, will be the overriding influence on regulations, since drones fit into the realm of terrorist tool.

And farmers may be left with a tool they cannot use effectively.

Improving patient care while saving millions through Lean Lean has improved patient care in Saskatchewan while achieving more than $125 million in projected financial benefits through significant one-time savings, capacity increases, productivity gains and avoided future costs.

“Lean is exceeding our expectations in terms of improving the quality and timeliness of services provided to patients - and we’ve only begun to tap its huge potential,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “Although the investment in Lean has paid for itself, the true benefit of this quality improvement work is how it’s making healthcare better on a daily

basis for patients and their families.”

The financial savings are due to quality improvements across the healthcare system since 2008. This information was collected in response to the Provincial Auditor’s recommendation that the province improve the reporting of Lean results. The most significant results have come from regions with advanced Lean implementation and major capital projects including Five Hills Health Region ($34 million), Saskatoon Health Region ($33 million) and Kelsey Trail Health Region ($3 million).

Information is collected

across all entities in the health care system and is approved by each Chief Financial Officer before being entered into Health Quality Council’s tracker system.

Duncan noted that beyond financial savings, there are numerous examples of how quality improvement work puts patients first, including: • A new database and care co-ordination that ensures all fragile infants at risk for respiratory complications receive crucial follow-up antibiotic injections; previously, 24 per cent of these infants missed their injections.

• The elimination

Province celebrates rural women The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed the month of March as Rural Women’s Month.

“Women play an important role in agriculture and Saskatchewan’s rural communities,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said.

“They are business owners, farm and ranch operators and leaders, and they have been key players in the agriculture industry’s growth.

I commend the work they

do in their communities, in their businesses and for the province.”

Each year, women’s groups across Saskatchewan recognize Rural Women’s Month as a way of celebrating the accomplishments of rural women across the province. The recognition extends to women of all ages, backgrounds and professions. “ R u r a l Wo m e n ’ s Month is an opportunity to recognize the leader-

ship roles that rural women play in their family agricultural operations and as entrepreneurs and business owners,” Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for the Status of Women Donna Harpauer said. “Their leadership in promoting partnerships and connecting communities to the consumer is keeping our rural areas viable, while ensuring a sustainable economic future for our young leaders of tomorrow.”

42-1 Larry Edwards Mr. Larry Edwards of Wawota, Sk passed away on Friday, February 27th, 2015 at the age of 71.

Larry was born to parents Clarence and Daisy Edwards on Dec. 29, 1943. He grew up as the youngest of three children and attended school in Walpole and Wawota.

On February 2nd, 1963 he married his sweetheart Gloria Corkish. They began their family with the birth of their daughter Paula and followed with a son Greg.

Larry was actively involved with many sports and was most proud of his hockey achievements and baseball teams. He served on many boards and councils for years for the town of Wawota and was actively involved with the lobbying for the retention of the administration and construction of the hospital in Wawota. In addition to his tireless devotion to his community, Larry owned the Esso Bulk dealership for 25 years and was known as a skilled carpenter. He also had the opportunity to become involved with the care and raising of buffalo herds for many years and enjoyed the majesty that all animals brought to his life.

Larry and Gloria spent many summers at Kenosee Lake and the time spent in the circle of friends and family was always a great joy. As a grandparent Larry enjoyed the passion of sports, music and art that came with the talents of his grandchildren and was very involved.

Larry was predeceased by his parents Clarence and Daisy, his sister Doreen (Hancock), son-in-law David Pedersen, and niece Shelley Corkish. Larry is survived by his brother Ron [Pauline] Edwards of Lampman, wife Gloria, his daughter Paula [Jerry] of Edmonton, son Greg [Lorianne] of Edmonton and his grandchildren Cali [Ian] Wiersma of Edmonton, Kyle Pedersen of Edmonton, Shae Pedersen of Edmonton, Hayden Edwards of Edmonton and Bree Edwards of Edmonton, Ab.

Winston Wilson, born July 29, 1927 to Thompson and Mae Wilson, passed away at the Wawota Deer View Lodge on February 24, 2015. Winston is pre-deceased by his parents, sisters Thelma Wilson, Isobelle Dickson and Elaine Bar nard and great-granddaughter Keira Van Meer. Winston is survived by his wife Janice and their five children: Linda Wilson (Lyle Heaton), Brent MacDougall, Trena (Les) Van Meer and Travis; Greg, Talita (Garrett) Mitchel and Giovanni ; Garry (Susan), Chase, Lauren and Madison; Darla (Neil) Heaton, Ashley, Shelby and Brody and Carla (Neil) Weatherald, Parker and Victoria.

Winston is also survived by his great-grandchildren: Murray “Cole” Gimse, Kye-Lynn and Breck Van Meer and Raegan Heaton; his brothers Ross (Marilyn) and Clifford and his sister Shirley (Walter) Reynolds.

Winston was a successful farmer who was proud to tour family and friends around the farm. He loved to dance, play ball and tell stories (he had many!). Winston loved to travel near and far and took many trips with different friends, relatives and family over the years. Some of his road trips included California, Alabama a few times, Polka Fests anywhere, Minot HostFest , British Columbia and Ontario. Winston and Janice also visited Hawaii and Cuba.

After suffering a devastating stroke in 1996, which took away Winston’s speech and the use of his right side, Winston worked very hard, and 7 months later was able to walk his daughter down the aisle! He never regained his speech, but his firm handshake and heartfelt smile was very indicative of his appreciation in seeing his friends and family. Winston loved to hold each and every grandchild and even though he was never able to communicate with words with the younger ones, they all had a special bond with Grandpa.

In 1998 Janice and Winston made the move to Wawota where Janice was able to care for him for 14 years. Winston moved into Deer View Lodge in 2009 where he enjoyed seeing so many more people there and he settled in very easily. The staff at Deer View Lodge was very good to him and whenever he got the chance to beat someone in a game of shuffleboard he would! He was very proud of his shooting skills and made it known that his right side didn’t work anymore, but his left hand sure did!

Funeral service will be held at the Wawota Town Hall on Monday, March 2, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. with Reverend Roy Bortolotto officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Wawota Deer View Lodge or the Wawota United Church. Arrangements entrusted to G.R. Carscadden Funeral Home, Moosomin, SK. 42-1

BELIEVE IT?

How do Canadians know if it’s true (or not)?

They turn to the trusted source: Newspapers in print, online, tablet and phone.

And, research finds that they trust the ads there too – more than those in any other medium.

Elsie Louisa Moore Elsie Louisa was born April 4, 1916 on the family farm west of Cannington Manor, the third of ¿ve children born to Samuel and Isabella (Hindmarch) Hodgson. She attended Keverne School, Manor and Carlyle for high school and Normal in Moose Jaw. She taught at Glen Morris and Keverne Schools before her marriage to Wes Moore January 7, 1938 at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Carlyle. Their son, Ron, was born later that year.

With the outbreak of World War II, Wes joined the Royal Canadian Army Service Corp. In August of 1940 Elsie, Ron and her sister Doris, whose husband Claire Beatty was in the South Saskatchewan Regiment, moved into a house in Manor. Dale was born later that year. In 1943 Doris moved to Brandon to take nurses’ training. Elsie took in boarders and substitute taught in Manor school.

Upon Wes’s return, he and Elsie bought a small house and a large lot from Ed Stevens in 1946. They worked at various jobs until Wes became Assistant Post Master in 1951. In 1954 he became Post Master and Elsie went in as Assistant to “help out� temporarily. She retired when Wes did in 1976.

Perry was born in 1950 and in 1956, to everyone’s surprise their fourth and last child was a daughter, Michelle. Elsie’s mother left the farm that year and moved a small house onto Wes and Elsie’s lot to help out while Elsie was at work.

Elsie loved gardening, sewing, quilting, reading, doing jig saw puzzles, watching and feeding the many birds that visited her yard,. She and Wes spent many hours driving around the countryside, Âżshing and hunting. They enjoyed a trip to England in 1976 to see the country her Dad had come from and to see where Wes had spent part of the war years, visiting various distant cousins. They travelled across Canada visiting Dale in Alberta and Ron in Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island. They enjoyed decorating their house and yard with Christmas decorations, many of which they built themselves. Elsie was a life-long member and supporter of All Saints Anglican Church, Cannington Manor.

In 1991 Wes suffered a stroke and Elsie looked after him devotedly until his death in 1994. Elsie and her sister Margery were especially close in the years after Everett’s death.

In December of 2012, nearly blind and deaf, Elsie made the difÂżcult decision to leave her home in Manor and go into long-term care. In January of 2014 she moved into Moose Mountain Lodge, Carlyle, just a few doors down the hall from Margery. She received wonderful care.

At nearly 99 years of age, after a brief illness, Elsie died peacefully on February 2, 2015, surrounded by her family. She was laid to rest at All Saints Anglican church cemetery, Cannington Manor where Âżve generations of her family lie.

Elsie was predeceased by her parents Samuel and Isabella Hodgson; her husband Wesley Moore and his parents John and Jessie (Bradley) Moore; daughter-in-law Doreen (Erickson) Moore; siblings Mary and Bill MacLeod, Doris and Claire Beatty, Joe and Vi Hodgson; brothers-in-law Everett Bryant and Cecil Moore; nieces and nephews Joan (Bryant) Lothian, Vaughn Hodgson, Nicky (Hodgson) Lynch, Cindy and Jacqueline Hodgson; great nieces and nephews Jodi Rae Beatty, Cory and Jacqueline Lynch, Jacqueline Hodgson, Robert Wiggins.

She is survived by her children Ron and Jackie Moore, Dale Moore, Perry Moore and Michelle Moore (Craig Savill); grandchildren Stephen (Trish) Moore and sons Jeremy and Riley; Kevin Moore; Colin (Tasha) Moore and son Liam; Rob (Michele) Moore and his daughters Cei-Jay and Santana; Amber (Darren Jones) Moore, Michael Moore; great-great grandchildren Danica and Mason Jennings as well as by her sistery Margery Bryant, nieces and nephews of many generations.

If friends so desire, donations in memory of Elsie may be made to All Saints Anglican Church, Cannington Manor or to the Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge, Carlyle.

She was getting blind and deaf, and her legs were giving out, But she still loved nothing better than having family about, Visits on the telephone remained a most welcome treat She often could hear better from her comfy easy seat She could no longer see to sew or even watch TV Hearing talking books no longer a possibility But her mind continued on as sharp as it could be And in her head the memories lived on so vividly Beloved mother, grandmother, great and great-great as well Cherished younger sister to Margery just down the hall The two foregathered daily to discuss old times and new Remembering friends and family now grown so sadly few.

We sat and watched beside her as her life ebbed to its close Gladly would we have suffered the pains that were her only foes We talked and joked, remembered as we have so oft done before But our laughter with tears was seasoned as her spirit neared the door She left us so very quietly, serene until the end, We could not wish it otherwise for our Mom and greatest friend.

She will rest quite peacefully at dear old Cannington Among so many she had loved before their lives were done.

Our memories will bring comfort as we bid our sad farewell, And will be shared and treasured as her tales we will retell.

Her strength, her wit, her love, and dare, I say, tenacity, will be with us forever as your lasting legacy.

We love you Mom and miss you, and will ‘til time grows nigh When we hope that we will join you in that dear “sweet by and by�

We are so very grateful to the compassionate staff at Moose Mountain Lodge for their care of Mom and to family and friends who brightened Mom’s days by visits and phone calls. Thank you so much to everyone who brought meals and food, phoned, e-mailed, visited, sent cards, reached out to help us through the loss of our Mom. Ron and Jackie, Dale, Perry, Michelle and Craig.

Dr. John Timothy Slykhuis 1920 - 2015 John Timothy Slykhuis passed away on February 9th, 2015 at the age of 94 after an unusually interesting and accomplished career. He was an international expert on plant diseases and a medical miracle. Diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 12, he took his Âżrst shot of insulin on October 5th, 1932. Through careful management of his diet, he survived 82 years on insulin, longer, than anyone in Canada or possibly the world. “Johnnyâ€? was the third of four sons of William (Bill) Slykhuis whose parents, Jan Willem Slijkhuis and Fenna Dros emigrated to the Carlyle area from Holland in 1894. His mother, Emma Hodgson, was from Wisconsin, of Norwegian and English descent.

He grew up with his brothers, Arthur (1914- 1998), Henry (1916 - 1983) and Glenn (b.1926) on a farm (David Slykhuis’s) that had originally been purchased for pasture at the end of the Moose Mountains.

It bordered the White Bear Reserve. Chief Waw-See-Gen Ash and his daughter visited often and Bill Standingready was a good friend of his father’s. Until the residential schools, the two families would get together each fall to slaughter the birds they had raised.

Johnny began his education in Mountain Valley School and graduated from high school in Carlyle. He could not do farm work or serve in the armed forces. So he saved the money he earned from raising sheep and went to the University of Saskatchewan where he specialized in plant diseases. He earned a B.S.A. in 1942 and a M.Sc. in 1943, then went to the University of Toronto where he was granted a Ph.D in 1947 for his research into fungi that cause root rot.

He worked in Harrow, Ontario from 1947 to 1949, Brookings South Dakota from 1949 to 1952, Lethbridge, Alberta from 1952 to 1956, Harpenden, Hertfordshire, England from 1956-7, Ottawa, Ontario from 1957 to 1976 and Summerland B.C. until his retirement in 1985.

Along the way he discovered that plant diseases could be transmitted by microscopic insects and identiÂżed several previously unrecognized diseases. Only England and Holland had prior knowledge of grass viruses. His discoveries and travels stimulated a great deal of research and international interest. In 1960-61 he visited Japan, the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Ceylon, India, West Pakistan, Iran, Jordan, Egypt and Rome. In 1965 he visited Russia and in 1980 he conducted Âżeld surveys in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and Peru.

For his work, he was elected a fellow of the American Phytopathological Society in 1975, then Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.

He ended his career in Summerland B.C. where he worked on Little Cherry Disease that makes the fruit small, sour and unmarketable and Apple Replant Disease that stops the growth of young trees in old orchards.

He was active in the scouting movement in Harrow, Lethbridge and England. After his retirement his inventive mind and prairie ingenuity led to the founding of the popular Pioneer Workshops in Summerland and Penticton where children could learn how to grind wheat into Àour, make rope and build things out of scrap lumber. Ever confronted by challenges, his carpentry was curtailed by macular degeneration. He became an avid user of the CNIB talking book services and, despite being blind, he continued curling.

In the course of his life he amassed a wide range of family and friends. In 1946, he married Ruth Williams of Vancouver, B.C. after they met in the co-operative student housing at the University of Toronto.

They had Âżve children: Grace, Margaret, Dorothy, Timothy and Alan.

Ruth died of Amyotropic Lateral Schlerosis (A.L.S.) after 38 years of marriage. He then married Ellen Light nĂŠe Reinholdt from Hussar, Alberta whose husband had A.L.S. like Ruth.

He passed away in Ridge Meadows hospital, Maple Ridge B.C. on February 9th, 2015. He was predeceased by brothers Arthur and Henry and their wives, son Alan and daughter Dorothy. A memorial service was held on February 14th, 2015 at the home of brother Glenn and his wife Martha Slykhuis in North Vancouver.

He will be greatly missed by a wide range of friends and relatives including daughters Grace Woo & son Rueben Lobe (Vancouver), Margaret and Jim Beaudry (Creston, B.C), their sons Josh (Denver) and Noah, his wife Anna and great grandchildren Charlotte and Clara (Calgary), son-in-law Richard Landry and Dorothy’s children Francis, Nina and Julien Slykhuis-Landry (Montreal) and son Tim and wife JoLam (Ottawa). Surviving relatives in Saskatchewan include nieces and nephews Richard and Elsa Slykhuis of Meadow Lake, Joan and Dale Ferrell of Stewart Valley, Helen and Lawrence Dezell of Wawota, Sam and Maria Slykhuis and David and Shelley Slykhuis of Carlyle and their many children and grandchildren as well as the descendants of many aunts, uncles and cousins.

In lieu of Àowers, memorial gifts may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the Canadian Institute for the blind.
