Weekly RCMP report Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

The Carlyle RCMP detachment responded to numerous calls to service between Monday, July 25 and Friday, July 29. Assault Two separate charges of assault involving two separate incidents of assault were laid in the Carlyle area. One charge included assault causing bodily harm. Assistance Police responded to reports of a possible gunshot near Moose Mountain Provincial Park. Upon investigation, the noise was found to have been the sound of a blown transformer. Carlyle RCMP members assisted another police agency by obtaining a statement. Breach of conditions Two individuals were charged with breaching their release conditions. One investigation is ongoing. Bylaw enforcement A parking violation in Carlyle involved a vehicle being left overnight in a two-hour parking zone. Police ask that individuals be cognizant of parking regulations. False alarms ` Several false alarms were occurred in the area. Fire RCMP provided assistance at a grass fire east of Carlyle. Members provided assistance with traffic control and ensured firefighters were safe. Fraud Incidents of attempted fraud are still ongoing, including phone calls that are placed by individuals claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency. RCMP received a report of an attempted

fraud via Facebook. “The CRA fraud has already succeeded in illegally obtaining thousands of dollars in Saskatchewan alone,” says Staff Sgt. Darren Simons. “Whether it’s a phone call, Facebook or an email, please don’t give out your personal information.” “It’s like securing your physical property,” he adds. “Securing your personal property is just as important.” Harassment Police received reports of harassing communications, including some that asked for personal information by an unknown caller/sender. “You can block these communications,” says Staff Sgt. Simons. “But also, please don’t hesitate to call the police.” Lost items RCMP received a report of lost saddlebags in the Carlyle area. A phone was found in the Manor area and turned into RCMP. Liquor offences An intoxicated male walking on the highway was given a ride home by police. Mental Health Act Police attended to calls regarding the Mental Health Act, including one incident of an individual uttering threats. Mischief Property damge inside a residence was found to be caused by an intoxicated person inside the house. Missing persons, theft of a motor vehicle Carlyle RCMP responded to a report of missing persons originating from Fish Creek Campground in Moose Mountain Provincial Park. A vehicle was stolen from a Kenosee Lake residence after thieves gained access to keys via an unlocked door at the residence. The vehicle was observed in Weyburn, but police did not pursue it at that time,

due to concerns for public safety. The suspects were later arrested in Milestone while still driving the stolen vehicle. This incident is still under investigation by RCMP and charges are

pending. Theft Vehicles in the Arcola area were broken into, and personal property was stolen. Property was stolen from individuals inside

an area business. Traﬃc RCMP responded to numerous traﬃc violations, including an incident in which a driver passed a police vehicle over the posted speed

limit by 10 km. The motorist was given a warning by police. Uttering threats RCMP responded to an incidence of uttering threats in the Redvers area.

How quick can a vehicle heat up? With the hot weather in the southeast concerns have begun to arise surrounding leaving pets in cars. The RCMP recently received two separate calls regarding dogs left in vehicles on hot days. A car acts much like a greenhouse on wheels, the glass in a vehicle allows for sunlight to pass through freely and once inside the sunlight is absorbed by the seats and dashboard where the light is turned into heat. This heat is then trapped inside the car. Within just 10 minutes the temperature inside a vehicle can increase approximately 20 degrees. On a 26 degree Celsius day, the car can heat up to 43 degrees Celsius within 20 minutes according to BC SPCA’s website. If you leave an animal or child in a vehicle inside a vehicle on a hot day, even with a window cracked, the danger of heat exhaustion and heatstroke is high. This can result in serious harm or even death. Dogs and cats cool themselves by panting and releasing heat through their paws, so when upholstery heats up and the air in a car becomes hot, it becomes impossible for pets to cool themselves. This means they risk overheating even if just exercising on a hot day. Symptoms of heatstroke in dogs includes

Moose Mountain Water Resource Management Corp. hosts 2016 AGM Kelly Running Observer Staff

Staff photos by Kelly Running

The service road at Kenosee Lake has been encroached upon by the water at the lake. With many people happy at where Kenosee’s water levels are at they have requested to lower the spillway to allow excess water through to fill other water resources and eventually make its way to White Bear Lake.

In the last few years efforts in the back country of controlling beaver populations and beaver dams have led to an increase of water for Kenosee Lake, which has seen the lake rise in recent years.

N PRAIRIE RAIL HER WA UT

The Moose Mountain Water Resource Management Corp. met on Monday, July 25, to discuss their year at their Annual General Meeting. The 2015 Board of Directors included: Jim Brown – President, Ed Plumb – Vice President, Coleen Bennett – Secretary/Treasurer, David Schnell, Glen Grimes, Elgin Pryce, Thomas Skye Maxie, and Boyd Cochrane. Call for election of directors was completed and those on the board let their names stand, there were no new nominees, so the board remained the same for 2016. The Water Corp. agreed to donate 500 bounties at $10 each to beaver trapped. This is something they have committed to do each year in order to add to the $30 offered by a combined Ministry of Park, Culture, and Sport, Ministry of Agriculture, and the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities. Last year a total of 601 beavers were trapped. Beavers in the backcountry have been blocking waterways, so in order to keep the waterways open beavers are removed and tops of dams are lowered to allow water passage through. This continues to be done by Link Brickley. Concerns have been mounting regarding the current spillway at Kenosee Lake and with the increased water levels, the Moose Mountain Provincial Park and the Water Corp. are looking to discuss with Highways and the Water Security Agency regarding lowering the level of the spillway. They would ultimately like to see the spillway lowered slightly as many feel the lake is at a very good level right now, another culvert placed in Hwy 9 to help handle the water influx, and a low level crossing in the old highway. The water that flows through Kenosee makes its way through other smaller water bodies throughout the Moose Mountains and settles in White Bear. People at White Bear Resort and from White Bear First Nation are both excited for increased water levels, which will happen when Kenosee flows over its spillway. Currently at risk if the water were to continue to rise is the service road and Manitoba Street, although no cabins look to be in danger. Leigh Potter with Moose Mountain Provincial Park reported that they received no new fish this year for Kenosee, but did receive 1,100 perch for Gillis Lake and are hoping they will thrive there. Perch placed in Gillis Lake ranged from two inches to 12 inches in length with the majority being two inches. White Bear Lake received 700,000 walleye and Kenosee is on the list to receive walleye next year, so will hopefully be restocked then. He also added that in conversations with a senior conservation officer he discovered there are between 800-900 elk and 900-1,000 moose in the park. The ongoing wild boar study will continue until February. They are collecting data from 12 collared pigs and in February will eradicate those boar and any boar with the collared ones. Samples from each will be taken to assess diseases being carried, if any, and to see what they have been eating. The government has also opened up wild boar hunting, but in the park you need a valid Big Game Licence to shoot one. Potter also said that they would like to open up Centre Road more and do work to the gravel pit in the back country. He added that Jim Brown acquired additional boat launch pads for the park and these will be placed, so people can launch boats and trailer boats at the same time. Potter is also hoping to reconfigure the boat launch to be more accessible this fall. Joan Adams, Moose Mountain Provincial Park, spoke to the park’s ATV Pilot Project Park. This means that those looking to quad in the park must first stop in at the Chalet and sign a tread lightly policy, which ensures riders will stick to trails, wash their quads before going into the park, and travel responsibly. The trails are multiuse and motorized vehicles must yield to non-motorized vehicles when out there. The areas in the back country are home to numerous animals and while the park wants to allow people to access the back country they don’t want a huge impact on the natural world out there. It’s a privilege to ride in the park, not a right. Membership to join the Water Corp. is their main way to raise funds for the efforts they continue to support at the lake and if interested

Quote of the Week . . . The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course. - Billy Graham

An amazing group of young ladies

*Bang bang* “Southeast!” *bang bang* “Southeast!” *bang bang* “Southeast!” The gym echoed as a large crowd amassed to cheer on the volleyball teams at the Sask Summer Games. It was quite the experience at the Games which ran from Sunday, July 24, to Saturday, July 30. I was able to be part of it Kelly Running as an assistant coach to the Team Observer Staff Southeast 14U girls volleyball team. Our competition block was set up in the latter portion of the week, so the girls got in a short practice on Wednesday, July 27, and were ready for competition when July 28 rolled around. The girls took on Team North then Lakeland in both three set matches; winning both they went on to be first in their pool. They took on Team Saskatoon winning in two sets and then lost to Team Regina, which sent us to a quarterfinal match. From there we faced Lakeland again, which was another tough battle as the girls came out a little shaky. The home crowd rallied behind their team and the gym was electric as the girls headed into the second and third sets. Winning, they were off to the semifinal. Saturday morning the girls took on Saskatoon again, this time it took three sets to earn the win, but the girls found success and earned their way to the gold medal match. Here they faced Rivers West in the final who had knocked out the top seeded Regina team in earlier. Again the gym was electric as the home town crowd rallied behind their team. The girls played the match of their lives. They never let up and pushed Rivers West every step of the way. It was Team Southeast’s day as everything they did seemed to go right, including six let serves which hit tape and trickled over onto the opponent’s side for service aces. The girls won gold: smiles, tears, and excitement abounded. These young ladies earned their success through putting in a lot of work and effort; in fact, I’m not sure if I’ve ever been around nine 14U girls so dedicated, hardworking, and completely focused before. Our practice schedule leading up to the games wasn’t easy; they did two-a-days, three days in a row, for three weeks. There were no complaints and they worked tirelessly at these practices to improve themselves while becoming a tight group, which showed on and off the court. Kudos to the head coach Riley Singleton for deciding to do blocked training like that as I feel like it was a main factor in the girls’ success at the games. They became friends off the court and became focused as a team. They were disciplined throughout training and the games. It was in individual meetings with Riley and myself that we discovered all of the girls wanted to medal, while the majority of them said their goal for the team was to earn gold. They were an absolutely fantastic group to coach and the parents were more than accommodating for the vision the coaching staff had… this included having the girls stay at their homes as a group bunking together and ensuring we were all fed. We also had help from older athletes in both Oxbow and Weyburn during practices who aided in pushing the girls to improve. The girls were propped up by giants and battled through each match to earn success, win or lose they played phenomenally, but that gold medal is definitely a testament to the hard work and dedication of this group of young ladies. I’m really excited to watch them grow and evolve over the next few years as I run into them in the world of volleyball.

Getting What You Don’t Want It was on a beautiful August day I stood with my husband and kids by the Kicking Horse River listening to the safety orientation led by our guides as we prepared to take on the thrill of white water rafting. I was having second thoughts as I tried to retain all the instructions and come to terms with the risk to life and limb I was taking, but since I had gotten myself into Shelley Luedtke that wetsuit there was no way I was backing out now. Once the orientation was complete 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 hoped 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 adventurous 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 and they certainly made their presence known throughout the morning. Please, please, let us be put in a raft with anybody, ANYBODY, but them. These testosterone driven adventurers 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 wetsuit-clad 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 made the adventure a lot of fun but Kelly Running Editor Reporter/Photographer

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 capture video of the experience. 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 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 have learned things about myself I wouldn’t have discovered otherwise and I have been reminded that the most important things in life are things 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.

Seeing things differently . . .

Find a friend to learn to camp At first Lynne brought up a new initiative the Sask Government came up with and I kind of scoffed at it. Essentially they’re offering programs to help people learn how to light a campfire, filleting a fish, or putting up a tent. The Learn to Camp program is being offered for its second year and a new program is beKelly Running Observer Staff ing introduced called Learn to Fish. The camping program is only offered at Echo Valley, Good Spirit Lake, and Pike Lake. It focuses on a two-day camping trip with on-night staying in the tent. While on the trip campers learn how to start a fire, set up a tent, and cook outdoors. There is a fee for this at $25 for the campsite, lesson, and equipment. The Learn to Fish program is free and is being offered at more locations: The Battlefords, Blackstrap, Buffalo Pound, Crooked Lake, Douglas, Duck Mountain, Echo Valley, Greenwater Lake, and Meadow Lake. I remain unsure of how I feel about the program… Who wants to learn to do outdoorsy things? Wouldn’t someone interested in the outdoors find like minded people to teach them. I’ve been camping in the past, so I guess I’m one of the lucky ones. When I bought my tent, I set it up in my living room to make sure I knew what I was doing before my first trip with it… And other than one short, seemingly random post, I can set it up fine. I just bought the tent and followed the instructions… I didn’t need a lesson in it. Starting a fire too is something that in our day and age is likely easy to be learned via the Internet. Again I was taught how to start a fire as a youth, helping Mom and Dad, while we were out camping. The key is basically to ensure the kindling and wood used is dry. Though I’ve never filleted a fish I imagine you could do something similar with checking the Internet and following instructions. Which makes me think that the government is maybe wasting money on this front. Money that could be used for other things… Like education which looked like it was hit pretty hard with school divisions having to now pay a substantial sum that the government initially said they would. So although I think it’s a fun idea to offer these outdoors programs, I’m not sold on them being sponsored by the government. Is there maybe a better way to offer the programs without the government being the sponsor of it? For new Canadians to Saskatchewan is learning to camp and fish really what they want to be doing? If they are interested in camping then how about making a group of people willing to take others out with them to teach them about camping. I like the idea, but I’m not sold on its execution.

Curious about camping? Sask. offers classes I could write an entire column-or volume-about what I don’t have in common with the beautiful, Academy Awardwinning, British ﬁlm star, Kate Winslet. However, I share a trait with one of her most wellknown characters. Remember that line in the movie ‘Titanic’ where Jack tells Lynne Bell Rose he would have taken her Observer Staff as being more of “an indoor girl?” Well, that’s (kind of) me. In Alberta, I loved the beautiful Rockies, but any mountain adventure had to end with a real (not canvas) roof over my head and if the meal was cooked by me (highly unlikely, by the way) it certainly wouldn’t be made up of ingredients-ahem-caught by me. Now that I am back in the Land of the Living Skies, I can safely say that I will never tire of the stunning sights Saskatchewan’s upper atmosphere oﬀers. And as for lake life, well, what’s not to like? But I’m still not sure if I’ll ever be classed as a hardcore camper. Even at Craven, I’m a commuter, retiring to my shower-equipped, air-conditioned city digs after each day’s musical shenanigans. However, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport has recently announced that it will run two fantastic programs at selected provincial parks this year, that might just be partially aimed at people like me.

Saskatchewan is running its Learn to Camp program for the second year, as well as rolling out the brand new Learn to Fish program. Both are offered at select provincial parks this summer. The Learn to Camp program-which recently ran at the Carlyle Public Library- connects would-be campers with a guide and a campsite. The campsite and the equipment-as well as lessons on setting up a tent and cooking outdoorscan be all yours to use and enjoy for a mere $25, for a two-day, one night stay. The Learn to Fish program is free and tackles (pun intended) such topics as identifying fish, equipment, rules and regulations, safety, casting and (eek!) fish handling and filleting. This is a great idea on so many levels. People who are curious about camping not only get a chance to try this outdoor pursuit under the guidance of well, a guide-but they can also camp or fish without a big outlay of cash, such as purchasing equipment they may never use again. For both longtime residents and newcomers, this program is a great opportunity to explore Saskatchewan in a new way, with a deeper appreciation for all the province has to offer. The actual camping part of the Learn to Camp program wasn’t offered this summer at our closest park- the scenic Moose Mountain Provincial Park-so I’m unable to take advantage (#SafeForAnotherYear) of this opportunity. But hey, maybe next year... Until that happens, Craven counts, doesn’t it?

Olympic Ambassador: Carter Morrison’s Road to Rio Prior to his departure to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,The Observer had the opportunity to speak with McDonald’s Olympic Kid, Carter Morrison and his parents, Trevor and Lisa Morrison, all of Carlyle. Here is what they had to say prior to Carter’s Olympic adventure: Twelve-year-old Carter Morrison of Carlyle is not only attending the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil-he is one of only five Canadian ambassadors who have been chosen to represent Canada’s Ronald McDonald Houses at the Games and one of nearly 100 McDonald’s Olympic Kids-who will represent the charity there. Carter will participate in the opening ceremonies of the Games of the XXXI Olympiad, which will be seen live by 80,000 spectators in Rio’s Maracana Stadium and billions of television viewers worldwide. He and his dad Trevor Morrison will also attend other Olympic events during their trip to Brazil. “We’re gone from August 2 to 8,” says Trevor. “We leave Regina on August 1st at 6 a.m. and we fly to Toronto from there. Then we have a layover of about seven or eight hours in Atlanta. We arrive in Brazil on the morning of August 2. We’re still waiting for the final schedule, but there’s a lot planned for Carter already.” In addition to playing a part in the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympiad, Carteraccompanied by his dad-will spend time at Canada House in the Olympic Village where he’ll rub shoulders with Canada’s Olympic team, witness a medal presentation, and of course, take in some Olympiclevel competition. “We won’t have the complete package with Carter’s itinerary until we get there,” says Trevor. “But we’ll be seeing some of the country and obviously, seeing some events. Carter’s going to see a gold medal presentation and I’m trying to talk him into seeing a soccer game there, if we get the chance,” he laughs. “Because it’s huge there and it would be quite an experience to see a soccer game in Brazil.” “But whatever we do, it’s going to blow away our expectations,” continues Trevor. “It’s the first time in Olympic history that a Canadian company has designed Canada House for the Olympics. It’s things like that-big and small-that will make this such a great experience. I feel like I’ve won the lottery.” The trip allows each young person to be accompanied by one parent or guardian. “Right away, I told Lisa (Carter’s mom), she should go,” says Trevor. “But she said because it involved sports, that I should go. We were completely ready to buy another plane ticket so we could both go, but we found out that the security clearances around a lot of the places Carter will be visiting will only allow one parent to be with him. That part’s frustrating, because I’m the only family member going with Carter, but we’re so grateful for this op-

Twelve-year-old Carter Morrison’s road to Rio has been as gruelling and challenging as any Olympic athlete’s. Carter was born with achondroplasia, a condition which has required him to undergo over 20 surgeries to date. Since he was a baby, Carter and his parents have stayed in Ronald McDonald Houses in all three prairie provinces. And now Carter has been selected as one of only five Canadian McDonald’s Olympic Kids to represent the charity at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. (Photo submitted)

portunity and most importantly, Ronald McDonald Houses, and everything they’ve done for us.” The Morrison family first received word of Carter’s trip this spring and it was a complete surprise to them, according to Trevor. “Around the beginning of May, we had been away and we got a phone message from Ronald McDonald House Charities, telling us to phone them back right away, because they had some very exciting news for Carter,” says Trevor. “We thought that maybe the next time he was doctoring that they’d got him some tickets to a hockey game or something like that.” “You can imagine how shocked we were when it was a chance to represent Canada’s Ronald McDonald Houses at the Olympics.” “They told us we had to let them know if we were interested as soon as possible,” continues Trevor. “We hung up the phone and thought ‘Why are we even thinking about this?’ So we called them right back and of course, we said ‘yes.’” “Carter is one of five kids from Canada and one of about 100 from throughout the world who will be representing Ronald McDonald Houses at the Olympics in Rio,” says Trevor. “A lot of the kids had to enter contests or otherwise compete for the chance to go, but Carter was asked to go without having to do any of that.” Even though Carter was chosen outright to be an Olympic ambassador, his road to Rio hasn’t been an easy one. “Carter was born with achondroplasia,” says his mother, Lisa Morrison. “It’s a medical condition that comes with complications. Since he was one, he’s had close to 20 surgeries and with those surgeries, there are a lot of check-ups before and after. That means a lot of hospital admissions, medical tests and overnight stays.” “We’ve stayed in Ronald McDonald Houses in all three prairie provinces,” adds Lisa. “In Saskatoon, Edmonton, and Winnipeg.” “As a family, when your child’s in the hospital, you’re basically trying to navigate a new city and a new situation during a really stressful time,” adds Lisa. “Just getting to the hospital from a hotel and figuring out something like parking can be a real burden for the families-emotionally and financially.”

“All of those little things can really add up and add stress to an already stressful situation,” she says. “Ronald McDonald House really alleviates a lot of that stress and helps families to focus on their child, which is the most important thing.” “Walking into the door of any Ronald McDonald House is like getting a big hug,” says Trevor. “We’ve seen the great things they do in three different provinces. The staff is great and the volunteers are so open, kind, and inviting.” “Until you’ve experienced it from the inside, it’s probably hard to imagine just how much they do. As a parent, being there just rests your mind from all of the other stuff,” he adds. “That’s why we feel so strongly about supporting Ronald McDonald House,” says Lisa, who is a supporter of Estevan’s Red Shoe Walk, which helps fund Saskatchewan’s Ronald McDonald House in Saskatoon. “The Saskatchewan Ronald McDonald House doesn’t receive any government funding and relies entirely on community support,” she says. “Supporting the house is so important to me. I really can’t do enough for them.” “I also want to get the awareness out there for other families,” adds Lisa. “We knew nothing about them and the work they do until we were in a situation where we received their help.” “If there’s a family out there who thinks they could benefit from Ronald McDonald House and have any questions, we’d be happy to talk to them,” says Trevor. “Carter is in a unique situation, because he’s been staying at the Houses in three provinces for twelve years. And after the Olympics are over, he’s looking at another surgery this fall.” Carter says of staying at Ronald McDonald Houses: “They treat you really well, and it’s just like home.” “But I was really surprised about being chosen to go to the Olympics, too” adds Carter. “It’s pretty cool. I’m looking forward to seeing all of the athletes who are the best in the world and the whole Olympic thing.” “I just feel so lucky for this opportunity,” adds Trevor. “And obviously I’m a bit biased because Carter is my son. He’s a very special person, and this shows there’s a lot of other people who think so, too.”

Wawota Heritage Days

Wawota’s annual Heritage Days celebration weekend partnered with the Manitoba Ranch Rodeo Association to present the First Annual Wawota Valley Ranch Rodeo from Friday, July 29 to Sunday, July 31. Organizer Kathy Hamilton of Wawota says: “This year, the rodeo is a new addition for us and before the event, we received almost double the entries than we were initially expecting. Everyone-from rodeo competitors to spectators and visitors-are really excited about rodeo in Wawota.”

Wawota’s first rodeo drew enthusiastic crowds during the town’s Heritage Day weekend, July 29-31. Wawota Heritage Days partnered with the Manitoba Ranch Rodeo Association to present the Wawota Valley Ranch Rodeo and featured steer mugging, range branding, goat tying, chute loading, roping, and more.

The Wawota Museum debuted a unique fundraiser during the community’s 2016 Heritage Day celebrations. The Old West-themed photo shoot offered three different backdrops for subjects to choose from and were designed with the event’s rodeo in mind. Pictured are young visitors Sierra (left) and Skylar (right).

Wawota’s Heritage Days and Wawota Valley Ranch Rodeo offered activities for all ages and included: the community’s first rodeo, beer gardens, an Old West photo booth, fireworks, an evening cabaret, a petting zoo, food vendors, a bouncy castle, a dunk tank, a show and shine, a church service and more. “We wanted to create that old-time carnival atmosphere,” says organizer Kathy Hamilton.

“This year, everyone’s in the Valley, enjoying the weekend’s events together,” says Kathy Hamilton, one of the organizers behind Wawota’s revamped 2016 Heritage Days celebrations, which presented the Wawota Valley Ranch Rodeo for the first time. The community celebration took place Friday, July 29 to Sunday, July 31 and included: rodeo events, a petting zoo, a Show ‘n’ Shine vintage car show, a dunk tank, bouncy castles, a slip ‘n’ slide, face painting, musical entertainment, a pieeating contest, food vendors, a church service, and more.

Wawota’s Heritage Days not only hosted the community’s inaugural Wawota Valley Ranch Rodeo this year; the community also moved the weekend’s attractions to the community’s picturesque Pipestone Valley. “It’s really exciting,” says organizer Kathy Hamilton. “We’ve got a whole new venue this year and a whole new carnival theme. Everything from the fireworks on Friday night to the rodeo to all of the other things we have planned are all down in the valley.”

Quiz TEST YOUR CANADIAN KNOWLEDGE

Dr. Lucille Teasdale-Corti (1929 - 1996) Born to a working-class Montreal family at the dawn of the Great Depression, Lucille Teasdale knew that becoming a doctor—her childhood dream—would be an uphill struggle. Undeterred, she jumped headfirst into her studies and graduated from medical school in 1955, before going on to become one of Quebec’s first female surgeons. Lucille Teasdale met Piero Corti in the mid-1950s while interning at a children’s hospital in Montreal. They quickly bonded over shared aspirations, but Corti soon left Canada to pursue a hospital project in Uganda. Their paths crossed again a few years later, when Teasdale agreed to work with Corti as the Ugandan hospital’s first surgeon. A YOUNG LUCILLE The pair arrived in Lacor, Uganda in 1961. Teasdale Source: was supposed to leave after a month or two, but Fondazione ONLUS Piero e Lucille Corti found herself compelled to stay and married Corti that December. They exchanged vows in a tiny chapel beside the hospital that would become their life’s work. Dr. Lucille, as locals knew her, saw as many as 300 patients every day and often performed back-to-back surgeries in difficult conditions. In the early days of the hospital, water, drugs and electricity were scarce at best. During the 1970s, civil unrest in Uganda forced Teasdale to become a full-fledged war surgeon virtually overnight. The hospital suffered frequent attacks; rebels ransacked the facility and even kidnapped members of its staff. The Cortis’ home was raided on several occasions. But the couple continued to help the local population, who needed them more than ever. In 1985, Lucille Teasdale found out that she was HIV positive, probably having contracted the disease while operating on wounded soldiers. Doctors gave her two years to live, but Teasdale, always a fighter, continued to care for her patients for another 11 years. After dedicating her life to helping others, Lucille Teasdale passed away at age 67. She is buried with her husband on the grounds of the hospital, which now employs over 500 Ugandans and treats more than 300,000 patients a year.

CANADA’S GUYANESE COMMUNITY

Canadian citizens of Guyanese descent make up around ten percent of the Caribbean community in Canada. Guyana is an oceanfront country between Venezuela and Suriname that celebrated its 50th anniversary of independence from Great Britain in 2016. Like Canada, Guyana is home to a variety of ethnic groups, which makes it difficult to define Guyanese culture as a whole. While each group has its own traditions and events, the entire community comes together during Mashramani, Guyana’s big national celebration. You’ll find illustrious Guyanese Canadians in every field under the sun, from entertainment to politics. Perhaps the most notable, Sir James Douglas, commonly known as the Father of British Columbia, was born in the then-Dutch colony and arrived in Canada in 1819. On a more contemporary note, guitarist Dave Baksh (of the band Sum 41), rapper Maestro Fresh-Wes (the first Canadian rapper to have a Top 40 hit) and Olympic track and field athlete Charles Allen (who competed for both the Guyanese and Canadian Olympic teams) are just a few of the stand-out Canadians with a proud Guyanese heritage.

Each of the eleven teams

were introduced and welcomed, with Caan declaring the competition officially open, saying: “This is our yearly action-let’s enjoy it and have fun!” Caan explained that the tournament began as a way members of southeast Saskatchewan’s Filipino community-most of whom were new to Canada-to stay in touch.

“We started the idea during those days,” says Caan. “We were all very busy working and were sometimes far apart from each other, so we had limited access as far as seeing each other.” “We came up with the idea of the tournament as a way to see each other and play basketball together.” “And it’s still going, six years later.”

NEWS

Friday, August 5, 2016

Rider Insider “One step forward and two steps back.” That’s the title and chorus from a great country song from 1988 by the Desert Rose Band which hit #2 on the Billboard charts. The next line goes, “Nobody gets too far like that.” That catchy tune wouldn’t leave my head Friday night as we were leaving Percival Molson Stadium in Montreal following the Alouettes’ 41-3 drubbing of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. One week after the upstart Roughriders surprised the previously-unbeaten Ottawa RedBlacks 30-29 in Regina - raising fans’ hopes mightily in the process - the Jolly Green Giants went out and rolled over for the Alouettes. One step forward and two steps back. It was one of those “burn the ﬁlm” scenarios

16081LL2

where the mere thought of revisiting the game makes you sick to your stomach. In fact, as firstyear Roughriders Head Coach & GM Chris Jones attempts to rebuild this franchise back to respectability and greatness, he’s likely singlehandedly keeping Pepto Bismol in business. Friday’s game in La Belle Province was Pepto Dismal. It was ages ago so there’s no need to dig deep into a recap of the game here. Suffice it to say the Riders’ biggest worry going into the game was an offensive line which featured five players out of position. All five linemen weren’t with the Riders last year and four of them were rookies. Yikes! Surely they’d get eaten alive by the fearsome Front 7 from Montreal featuring John Bowman, Chip Cox, Bear Woods and Winston Venable. But as it turned out, the hoggies were the least of Saskatchewan’s concerns. They only gave up one sack and kept their quarterback - Mitchell Gale upright for most of the night. Kudos to Offensive Line coach Mike Scheper for his excellent work in readying his group. But that Rider defense! Double yikes. Montreal quarterback Kevin Glenn looked vintage, completing 75% of his passes and throwing two touchdowns as the Dirty Birds had their way with Chris Jones’ defenders who gave up a season-high in points. All of that coming on just three days rest for Montreal. That’s what has the Rider Nation up in arms as we enter Week 7 and now the first of a back-to-back set with the rival Calgary Stampeders looms this Thursday in Cowtown. In their five games this year Saskatchewan has allowed, in order, 30, 39, 40, 29 and 41 points. That leads the CFL by a country mile and while the special teams and offense took their turns imploding the other night (a Mitchell Gale first quarter fumble in Als territory with the Riders only down 8-0 comes to mind), we are still impatiently waiting for the vaunted Chris Jones Defense to show up.

And this is where a calmer head should prevail. Chris Jones can’t be punished for the sins of the past regime. And bemoaning Saskatchewan’s struggles in Montreal over the years has nothing to do with this current group. It’s human nature to say we’re tired of losing and even I’ve been sucked into getting down over the fact the Riders are 6-26 since the 2014 Banjo Bowl when Darian Durant went down. But STOP! That isn’t Chris Jones’ fault. He’s responsible for the fact the 2016 Saskatchewan Roughriders are 1-4. And if you’d have been told on May 1 that the Riders would be 1-4 at the end of July would you really have been surprised? I wouldn’t have been. The games have been fantastic but for Friday night’s eyesore in Montreal. Frankly, a beatdown like that was to be expected early on this season but that doesn’t make it any easier to digest. Perusing social media, listening to the buzz on the street and judging by the emails and texts which have come into my Iphone, I’d say the Rider Nation is about 50/50 after Friday’s loss. Half understand exactly where the football team is and the other half are lighting a flame under Chris Jones. “He’s wearing too many hats!” many are saying. But they weren’t saying that after the last-minute victory over Ottawa the week before when Jones made the correct decision to take the wind in the fourth quarter and it directly led to a 53-yard gamewinning field goal. The “too many hats” argument is hogwash and you can tell anybody that who floats it to you. The Riders are building, slowly, and aren’t making the same mistakes twice on the field. Players have lost their jobs over performance (see DB Brandon McDonald). The win over Ottawa was just a teaser to keep you interested, and maybe a sign of what’s to come when this club gets all the kinks worked out. But that’s not likely to happen consistently until the leaves change colour. Until then they are right on pace. Whether you like it or not.

Rio games most expensive ever

By Bruce Penton What we think we know for sure about the Summer Olympics at Rio de Janeiro, currently under way and ﬁlling our newspapers, television sets, computer screens, Twitter feeds and Facebook posts until Aug. 21. — This will reportedly be the most expensive Olympics ever, with ﬁgures rumoured to be as high as $11 billion in a country whose poverty level is said to be above normal for a middle-income country, where crime is said to be out of control, and whose water quality is, to be generous, questionable. — The television network given the job of bringing the pictures and stories to North America, NBC, will not likely show us any of the unsightly underbelly of Brazil. — Dozens of the world’s best athletes made a public display about staying home from Rio because of a threat of coming down with the Zika virus, a mosquito-spread scourge that will be at its lowest threat in August, according to health experts. — American swimmer Michael Phelps probably won’t be the star of the Games this year, because he’s, like, 74 years old or something like that, but he’ll get a disproportionate amount of air time because he’s won more gold medals, 18, than anyone in the history of the Games. — If you watch the Games at all, you’ll likely see Usain Bolt of Jamaica. Probably in a blur. — CBC’s coverage will focus mainly on Canadian athletes, and network estimates are that Canada will win between 15 and 20 med-

als, with three or four of them of the gold variety. Divers are reportedly Canada’s best hopes, sprinter Andre De Grasse is a world-class athlete and with the world’s four best male golfers staying home for Zika reasons, Canada’s duo of Graham DeLaet and David Hearn could medal, as could the women golfers, world No. 2 Brooke Henderson and Alena Sharp. — Every time a Russian athlete wins a medal, eyebrows will be raised. Here’s a prediction: At least one Russian medal winner will have that silverware taken away within 12 months of the Games’ closing. — Canadian athletes will have Mom and Dad in Rio to watch, perhaps even Grandma and Grandpa, because the Olympics are a once-ina-lifetime deal for most athletes. But did you know Mom and Dad’s rental accommodation for a week in Rio might be as high as $26,000? (An Alberta athlete’s folks conﬁrmed that ﬁgure.) — Pele will show up in some form during the opening ceremonies, because he is Brazil’s most famous athlete. — Despite all the trepidation and worry, the Games will be deemed a success. Brazil might still be paying for them in 2050, but by then, the world won’t care. In fact the world will quit caring on Aug. 21, shortly after the closing ceremonies. • Norman Chad of the Washington Post, telling St. Louis fans they’re lucky the Rams moved to L.A.: “Without a local NFL team, you actually get a better selection of NFL games every Sunday. You no longer are spiritually bound to watch a 7-9 team’s annual march to mediocrity.” Hit king Pete Rose, to the Rochester (N.Y.) Democrat & Chronicle, on baseball salaries: “When we played, we counted our money. To-

day, they weigh it.” Brad Dickson of the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald, after Julia Webb set a world record for running a half-marathon while pushing her 9-monthold daughter in a stroller. “She later thanked the person who made it all possible: her babysitter who didn’t show up.” Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Drug dealers in Rio are selling cocaine in Olympic packaging, HuﬀPost Brasil reported. Don’t know about faster or stronger, but they’ve got

higher covered.” Another one from Chad: “Just moved into my Olympic Village apartment in Rio de Janeiro. When I flush the toilet, the TV turns on to Fox News Channel.” Dickson again: “A week before the 2016 Summer Olympic Games begin the athletes village reported has gas leaks, small fires, floods and electrical problems. Maybe we can move the Olympics to a better location. I understand Three Mile Island is available.” RJ Currie of sports-

deke.com: “TSN’s CFL analyst Matt Dunnigan said something is missing from the Blue Bombers offence. Quick! Call LaPolice.” Currie again: “Struggling Canadian golfer Graham DeLaet said he recently shaved off his beard to get closer to his kids. Some think he did it to finally make a cut.” Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “The Patriots’ Julian Edelman is facing a paternity suit from a Swedish model who

says she is 5 1/2 months pregnant with his baby. Once again a lesson for athletes, always wear ALL your equipment.” Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “The Olympic athletes will not be able to get Pokemon Go in the Rio Olympic Village. ‘Gosh, how will we entertain ourselves with 10,000 of the hottest and ﬁttest athletes in the world partying in one place?’ Asked nobody.” Care to comment?

Kennedy/Langbank News Submitted by Doreen Cancade What a great weekend weather wise and a time for family reunions. Families and friends are gifts given from the heart, wrapped in love, accepted with gratitude, and treasured forever. Tells you about the experience Violet Daku, George and I had this weekend. Violet Daku and all her family with many family relatives and friends attending a birthday celebration for Violet at the Kennedy Hall, members of the beautiful memory gardens catered to the excellent meal. Thursday evening campers started to get established at the local camp site for the Chanut reunion. By the time everyone arrived the sight was ﬁlled. A total

of 9 campers and trucks and a number of cars--they all commented on what a great sight it is and with the community play ground next door made time for the elderly and very young to have lots of games, etc. Kennedy is close enough for many of them to get a few golf games, the big celebration at Moosomin (ﬁre works) the drive in at Carlyle, slides at Kenosee, swimming pool at Kipling, yes Kennedy is situated in a very good area, family photos were taken at the Memory Gardens, many relatives came for a visit, a wiener roast was held on Friday evening with a special birthday cake for Joe LaRonge, (Fred had his cake taken to Kipling) a potluck supper at the Kennedy

Friendship Centre on Saturday and a noon meal on Sunday was a great place for everyone, another pot luck supper held at the camp sight on Sunday evening. Monday morning was an exciting morning with 8 campers leaving and all the goodbyes. Glenn and Debbie Chanut of Calgary remained for a couple of more days---it all seems to be a big happy dream to me something I will never forget . The rodeo weekend was a fun time for many campers at the local park, especially the members of the late Charlie Clark family (this is always a yearly get-together) but for Ray and Joan of Edmonton, Don and Patty of Calgary, Josephine

and Beryl of Wawota, a birthday party was held for Beryl celebrating her 80th year, many friends and other relatives joined in the evening. Joan Gurin and Merve Schick of Regina, Bob and Lynn Davis of Moose Jaw spent the rodeo weekend with Yvonne Bertalon. Lanny and Jean Sostorics had a lot of fun with the grandchildren when they camped

at Cypress Hills, Alberta, with Mark, Deyaliz and Dagny Sostorics, Ken, Colleen, Luke and Grace Rumsey of Regina for a few days in July. Margaret Debenham attended the beautiful wedding of Jackie Dauvin and Joseph Blaise on Sat., July 30th at the Blaise farm near Carlyle, the happy couple are residing at this farm. Congratulations from friends at Kennedy.

The monthly bingo at the Kennedy Friendship centre was held last Thursday. The winners were: Joe Barsi, Esther Barsi, Iola Smyth, Jeanne Molnar, Betty Penney of Arcola, Karrissa Bertalon, Allayah Travland of Coronach, Siobhan Garagan of Okotoks, Alta. Family and friends have many things in common. But it`s their diﬀerences that make us grow and ﬂourish.

Tupperware’s Tracy Procyk earns new car, trip

Photo submitted

Carlyle’s Tracy Procyk started selling Tupperware in December 2014, but since then, she’s earned both a car and an upcoming trip for her entire family to the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. Procyk was presented with her car this month and says, “I would like to thank my customers and my teams-the local girls and my team members across Canada.” Procyk is pictured with her new 2016 Chevrolet Sonic on Tuesday, July 26 prior to a gathering of her team members and customers.

And what can be said about the Valley Ranch Rodeo?? What a great weekend with something for everyone...lots of rodeo activity, lots for the kids to do and lots of food vendors. When you see the amount of work put into this event you realize that many, many volunteers were needed and many, many volunteers stepped up to the plate!! That is what makes this a great community!

The church service in the park is always one of my favorite events. What can be more perfect than thanking God for all of the beautiful nature while surrounded by it? I saw several diﬀerent family members there and would appreciate you sending me your news. Grayson and Agatha Reddekop, Cody and Cardston of Steinbach stopped in at the the service and to renew friendships.
