Slykhuis agrees. “We had phone calls from people from out of province and this year, the ‘Women on the Go’ tours out of Regina brought buses to Dickens both days,” says Slykhuis. “Usually, they just come on the Friday, but a busload came on Saturday, too. They sold out quickly, so they told us they’ve added a van for the overflow.” “That group alone brings us visitors from Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert.” “We’ve never had it this warm and we’ve never had this kind of interest before the weekend even got underway.” Shiela Menard of Dickens Information and Hospitality Committee says, “I’ve been volunteering at Dickens since the start and I’ve never seen the temperature hit above five degrees,” she says. “Our entertainment is always great and this year was no exception,” adds Menard. “We had Teagan Littlechief, Ken Hamm and always, The Happy Wanderers. And we also had Mark Humphries from Manitoba, magician Patrick Roth, (musician) Katie Miller from Carnduff and much more.” “We had an amazing line-up this year,” adds Dyer. Visitor Barb Kreics of Lampman says, “We’ve been here for Dickens four or five times. The weather this year made the drive so easy. But we’ve come during blizzards before. It’s just a great time!” “We couldn’t do any of the things our visitors enjoy without our volunteers,” adds Slykhuis. “We’ve had all kinds of weather during the thirteen years of the Dickens Festival, but it’s really our volunteers that make it happen. We count on them to keep it going.” Town councillor Jenn Sedor agrees. “This is my favorite event of the year,” she says. “It makes Carlyle a unique place to live and it attracts a lot of tourists to the town. I’d really like to see it continue for a long time and we always welcome new volunteers.” “We’re always welcoming new volunteers and this year is no exception,” adds Slykhuis. “The time committment only begins in September.

G.F.K. showcases bands at concert night Kelly Running Observer Staff

The annual fall band concert at Gordon F. Kells High School was hosted on Monday, Nov. 30, at 7:30 p.m. The grade 5/6 band performed first presenting six short pieces to the audience including “Go Tell Aunt Rhodie,” “El Camino Mariachi,” “Little Robin Red Breast,” “Merrily We Roll Along,” “Clash of Warriors,” and “Itsy Bitsy Spider.” New to band, the younger grades are learning how to read music and how to play together which is a challenge in itself. This was emphasized by Kevin Dyck, the director, during the playing of “Itsy Bitsy Spider,” which was done in a round. The melody is played by a certain group, while one or more of the same melody is played beginning at different times. “It’s quite something to be playing beside someone when you’re playing the same music, but it’s even more difficult playing when the person beside you is playing different notes,” Dyck explained. The grade 5/6 band includes Drazmine Palma, Sassy Tinio, Tarris Valentine, Sydney Bouchard, Brooklyn Delorme, Caitlyn Joya, and Taya Kakakaway on flutes; Bea Caan, Paris Rutten,

Payton Spry, Brandon Fleming, Riley Gilks, and Riley Park on clarinets; Nicholas Erickson, Jacob Kirk, Rench Laﬁguera, Darcie Rae, and Denita Shepherd on alto saxophones; Mitch Himmelspeck, Sam Thompson, Jason Hietanen, and Kaysha Turner on trumpets; Jaydin Dustyhorn on the trombone; and Tryell Dixon, Drayden Arndt, and Logan Romaniuk on euphoniums. Impressed by the grade 5/6 band the audience applauded loudly before warmly welcoming the sounds of the senior band. The senior band performed three pieces including “The Tempest” by Smith, “Going Home” by Dvorak, and “Curse of Tuthankhamun” by Story. Using a variety of percussion instruments, each piece was enjoyed a diﬀerent sound. This included the use of a tamtam - a small gong being used in the Egyptian music of the “Curse of Tuthankhamun.” Each piece was unique and showcased the abilities of the students. The audience very much enjoyed the performance and the senior band provided a great example of what the 5/6 band can look forward to in the future.

Un-BEE-lievable spelling Kelly Running Observer Staff

It was an exciting evening as kids eagerly awaited the ﬁrst spelling bee hosted at the White Bear Education Complex. A fun way to learn, compete, and build conﬁdence as they stand in front of an audience ready to spell. The spelling bee is a great new addition to the White Bear Education Complex. The competition included three age categories including Primary (ages six to eight), Junior (9 to 11), and intermediate (12 to 14), which includes youth in grades three to nine. The top three in each category have earned their way to Provincials in North Battleford on April 8. There they will compete with the top three spellers in each category will go on to compete in Nationals in Toronto on May 15.

ATTENTION The Town of Carlyle & R.M. of Moose Mountain No. 63 are announcing a Capital Recreation & Culture Funding Program.

Staff photos by Kelly Running

White Bear Education Complex hosted its first spelling bee on Wednesday, Dec. 2, with this group of students having studied hard to participate. With difficult words thrown at them, it was a challenge, but one the kids rose to. Spelling words included yawn, enzyme, solicit, medallion, impromptu, narcoleptic, intermittent, bereavement, silhouette, and Mesopotamian. Some words the crowd watching commented they didn’t know how to spell, after all Mesopotamian isn’t a commonly used word. A total of two youth were participating in Primary, eight were competing in Junior, and five challenged each other at the intermediate level. Winning first place at the Primary level was Isaiah McMann-

Ross, with Mercedez Littlechief finishing second. Both did an extremely good job at tackling tough words including tricky words like yawn. The Junior winners (from first to third) were Delilah Littlechief, Katie Desjarlais, and Taya Lavallee. This group too had tricky words including solicit, which doesn’t follow the typical rules of the English language where a “c” needs an “e” following it to sound like an “s.” It was then time for the Intermediate group to challenge each other resulting in Mystique Bigstone earning first, Taryn Cappo taking second, and River

Lavallee-Whitebear earning third place.

Words to spell became increasingly difficult as youth made it through the rounds.

The program is available to any Town of Carlyle recreation or cultural organization who is interested in obtaining funding for capital projects. The program consists of two components, an annual limited matching grant and a larger long term matching grant. Application deadlines are March 31st and September 30th of every year. Funding is limited and applications will be reviewed by the Recreation and Culture Foundation. Further information and application forms are available from the Town of Carlyle or R.M. of Moose Mountain No. 63 municipal offices.

Youth participated in three categories, here a Primary speller takes on a tough word.

Cornerstone presents “The Real Story” of “A Christmas Carol” Poirier, Bryanne Fortier, Diane Twietmeyer, Eryn Dickison, and Tory Poirier. The retelling of the story opened with Marley (Paul Twietmeyer) found laying face down, what looked like murder, but the investigating detective stated it was an accident, which seemed quite odd to the deputy in addition to the detective all of a sudden having expensive things. The sole benefactor of Marley’s estate was Scrooge, who quite happily was on the receiving end. Laughs rumbled through the hall as the Spirit of Last Wednesday stopped by at the wrong house, apologized, and said he might be back next Wednesday, maybe. The musical theatre performance showcased amazing talent from the area with numerous singers belting out a variety of tunes throughout the show. The play was directed by Colleen Easton, with Dianne Twietmeyer, Michele Amy, and Lane Easton as the musical directors. The band included Terry Fraser, Michele Amy, Claude Poirier, Liam Easton, Dave Martel, Pierre Tinani, and Paul Twietmeyer. As always, the performance was very much enjoyed and had people commending the small theatre group which continually reimagines and brings new life to the classic Dickens story.

The Cratchitts talk about visiting Ugly Tim.

The Cornerstone Theatre group hosted another successful retelling of “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. With three shows (Friday, Dec. 4, Saturday, Dec. 5, and Sunday, Dec. 6) the community and visitors to the area ﬁlled Memorial Hall with sold out shows each day. The modern retelling of the story, “A Christmas Carol: The Real Story,” included a Charles Dickens (Fred Perry) who shook his head as the story took diﬀerent twists while keeping the original meaning. With modern songs being performed and modern language used, Dickens humourously shook his head as he listened, disappointed how portions were even left out. At one point he asked why Scrooge (Lane Easton) did not walk home from work, describing how Scrooge pauses at the door and sees Marley’s face in the door knocker. Joining Perry and Easton on stage were, Brayden Hill, Kyle Bye, Craig Savill, Beth Peters, David Slykhuis, Denise Singleton, Paul Twietmeyer, Don Carter, Naomi, Twietmeyer, Bryanne Fortier, Karsyn Gervais, Leola Hirtle, Jesse Twietmeyer, Nicole Gervais, Megan McAuley, Laurie Fornwald, Kirsten East, Hunter Colpitts, Rayanne

Christmas is a time for giving Observer Staff

The Bargain Shop! and Cornerstone Family and Youth (CFY) are partnering this year to collect toys for children in the local area. Together they are looking for support from the community to accomplish this. In the past The Bargain Shop! has partnered with other businesses and have donated the toys to a charity, but what they noticed was that charity focused heavily on cities and The Bargain Shop! in Carlyle wanted to ﬁnd a way to help bring holiday cheer to local youth, as there are children in need around here as well. “We have a total of 85 registered to receive gifts this year from Carnduﬀ to Oxbow up to Ochap over to Forget, really all across the southeast,” Shannon McLeod, the manager of The Bargain Shop! explained. “All we ask is for a family that can, to give an extra gift this season. We know not everyone is

able to, but if they have the means it would mean a lot. Or if an organization in town has the means we would welcome that too.” “We also don’t want to exclude anybody, so if anyone knows of someone in need let us know, it’s completely confidential. Individuals can call The Bargain Shop! and groups can call Jenn [Sedor].” This is the last couple of days for their fundraising and on Friday, Dec. 4, they still had a ways to go, but McLeod said that no matter what they would find a way. “Cash donations, toy donations, even toques and scarves that we could put in with the toy is welcome,” McLeod said. “Extra toonies and loonies, it doesn’t have to be much, but every little bit helps.” “I’ll pick bottles on the side of the road if I have to, but we’re not going to say no to anybody.” They are also looking for volunteers on Tuesday, Dec. 15, for a Wrapping Party, where currently CFY and The Bargain Shop! will be wrapping the presents bought through the fund raising effort.

Town of Carlyle and R.M. No. 63 announce Capital Creation & Culture Funding Program Capital Recreation & Culture Funding Program The Town of Carlyle and R.M. of Moose Mountain No. 63 have each contributed $25,000 to a Capital Creation & Culture Funding Program. The program is available to any Town of Carlyle recreation or cultural organization who is interested in obtaining funding for capital projects. The program consists of two components, an annual limited matching grant and a larger long-term matching grant. Application deadlines are March 31 and September 30 of every year. Funding is limited and applications will be reviewed by the Recreation and Culture Foundation. Further information and application forms are available from the Town of Carlyle or R.M. of Moose Mountain No. 63 municipal oﬃces. Bylaw(s) Carlyle Town Council passed Bylaw 2015-12 regarding public disclosure(s) at its Wednesday, Dec. 3 meeting. This bylaw is in response to changes to the Municipalities Act in which mayors and members of council throughout the province must disclose any or all potential conﬂicts of interest regarding corporations, partnerships or any other positions they or their families hold.

Dickens Village Festival Acting Deputy Mayor Jenn Sedor conveyed council’s appreciation to Carlyle’s Dickens Village Festival volunteers, saying: “On behalf of council, I want to recognize all of the hard work and dedication of each and every Dickens volunteer. This event is a huge boost to our local economy and council really appreciates all of the effort they put forth on behalf of the community.” Outdoor skating rink Staff from the Town of Carlyle’s Public Works Department will be flooding an outdoor skating rink in a location by the Carlyle Sports Arena. Federation of Canadian Municipalities As a cost-saving measure, the Town of Carlyle will not be renewing its 2016 membership in the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Water well tender Arcola’s JJ Trucking was the successful tender for upcoming work on Water Well #7. Their quote was $196,000. Rusty Relics Museum Councillor Jenn Sedor will be the town’s representative on the Rusty Relics Museum board. Next meeting Council’s next meeting will be held Wednesday, Dec. 16 at 7 p.m. in the Town Office.

This year The Bargain Shop! and Cornerstone Family and Youth have partnered in fundraising efforts to bring toys to local children this Christmas.

Quote of the Week . . . “Either move or be moved.”

- Ezra Pound

An oath is an oath

Kelly Running Observer Staff

I often read CBC news online to get my national and international news. Recently I came across an article titled, “New Canadian to renounce oath of allegiance to Queen Elizabeth.” Now as most of you know I’m very much for Canada being the accepting nation it is touted to be, however, in certain instances my mind does scream out, “No.” And this article was

one of them. The article focused on an Israeli man who has lived in Canada for 13 years and is set to go through his citizenship ceremonies, which includes an Oath of Allegiance to the Queen. The individual opposes the oath and calls it “repulsive;” he will be formally reneging this portion of the ceremony following it. This, to me, is unacceptable. Having a fondness for history, I personally quite like the link to the royals, it’s part of what makes Canada its own, separating it from the United States; but, whether you’re a devoted royalist, you simply don’t mind having a Queen, or you feel the royals are an archaic, outdated system. Currently, since there’s been no democratic attempt to change this, you have to respect the fact that the Queen is our official head of state. Becoming Canadian does come with it the fact that we are part of the British Commonwealth and I don’t feel as though you can be a citizen of Canada without accepting this on some level. “God Save the Queen” is played at many ceremonies, however, I personally do not know all the words, but I chime in where I can and I know why it’s played. By not understanding why the oath is included means that the individual doesn’t understand the history of Canada and doesn’t really understand what it means to be Canadian. There were issues recently surrounding a woman wanting to wear a niqab during her citizenship ceremony. She was verified that she was who she said prior to the ceremony and in Canada we have freedom of religion, to me that was no big deal, and I wrote a column about why it was a non-issue. However, I do have an issue that this man is planning on saying an oath, something that is required of him to become a Canadian, and then taking it back. In fact, oath is defined as “a formal and serious promise to tell the truth or to do something.” By reneging on the Oath of Allegiance to the Queen, I feel as though he broke his promise to being a Canadian citizen. Oaths aren’t meant to be broken and since pledging loyalty to the Queen is a requirement to becoming a Canadian retracting their oath means they are going back on their entire oath of accepting becoming a Canadian. At the very core of the matter, however, I like people who stand by their word and to me an oath is a serious declaration. So, by saying it and then taking it back just doesn’t seem to be right. If he doesn’t want to recognize the Queen as the head of state, then perhaps he should become an American instead. Although we are considered an open and accepting country by the majority of the world, we still have our own traditions, which, until changed by our democratically elected government are relevant, this includes this oath and oaths aren’t meant to be broken. Even the French came to accept the British royals as their head of government, a task that would not have been easy for them to do as they were enemies, but they did. They took the oath and it has endured, they kept it. So, why does someone think they can say the oath and then formally take it back after becoming a Canadian citizen other than they likely don’t know our history as a nation.

The sweetest of houses When the Brothers Grimm wrote the tale of the siblings who stumble upon a house made entirely of treats, the popularity of gingerbread houses soared, yet the tradition dates back well before Hansel & Gretel made their mark. The first known recipe for gingerbread, according to The History Kitchen of PBS, came from Greece in 2400 BC. EuroShelley Luedtke peans developed their own version of the dough by the Middle Ages. The cookies, which were often gilded with gold leaf became a staple at Medieval fairs, some of which came to be known as Gingerbread Fairs. Queen Elizabeth 1 had grand ideas for dressing up the cookies and over time elaborately decorated gingerbread became synonymous with all things fancy and elegant in England. Though most historians credit the English with being the first to bake and sell gingerbread, they weren’t the first to market the popular treat. An Armenian monk was the one who brought gingerbread to Europe and taught the skill to priests. Monasteries were widely known as the place to buy gingerbread. When the unique treat landed in Britain and began being painted, its placement in shop windows contributed to its rise in popularity. Elaborate displays featuring houses and cottages became beloved around the Christmas season. My sister and I made gingerbread houses as teenagers and continued the tradition when we were university students since it was a great transitional activity between the pressure of final exams and the enjoyment of the Christmas break. I liked attaching Smarties to the peaked roof while my sister’s steady hand was in charge of piping icing to create windows, doorways and eaves. Once all the decorations were in place and solidly iced, the customary finishing touch of powdered sugar was sifted over the masterpiece to give the appearance of a fresh snowfall. It was a fun activity we enjoyed together and one I was delighted to share with my children when I became a mom. Their favourite part was supplementing the treats that came with the kit--to the point where the house sunk under the weight.

Sticky fingers, sparkling eyes and huge smiles meant the task had been a success--even if the structure itself was less so. That Armenian monk, Queen Elizabeth 1, or any of the thousands of bakers who modified and perfected their recipes over the centuries, or even those Brothers Grimm and their popular tale, couldn’t have known what their efforts would eventually become, or that millions upon millions of gingerbread cookies, men and houses would be baked, decorated and consumed each year. But there’s more. While they were busily perfecting recipes and stories; children, and the adults who work alongside them, have learned some important things while fabricating the structure and fashioning its decor. We first learn how important it is to have a solid foundation. Adding the roof or chimney to wall pieces whose edges aren’t thoroughly iced or dry, makes for an unstable structure. You can’t move ahead until stability is achieved. It’s also where patience is honed. You might be waiting for gingerbread to cook, or to cool, or for icing to harden and hold the house together before taking the next step. The more patient we are the more successful the venture will be. At the right time, the decorating can begin and that is where the freedom to create is unleashed. Watch as little imaginations turn licorice into fence railings, M&M’s into Christmas lights, and stacked gumdrops into snowmen. Of course in all the designing, building and decorating, mistakes will happen. What a great moment that can be--because with a little effort it can be fixed. We learn to try again, attempt something from a different angle and listen to the advice of those who have experience in this area. Which of course brings us to the teamwork, cooperation and hopefully spirited laughter and satisfied smiles experienced by the millions worldwide who gather around kitchen counters to put together this year’s creation. All that from a recipe of sugar, butter, flour, molasses, ginger and a smattering of other ingredients. It is the starting point of what can become a structure that holds laughter in its shutters, experience in its foundation, history in its walls, and ingenuity in its craftsmanship--just like the coziest of any of our houses. That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

Merry Christmas Kelly Running Observer Staff

It’s that time of year again, do we say “Merry Christmas,” “Happy Holidays,” or simply avoid any allusions to it being Christmas time at all? Well, my question to you is this, even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, how is it offensive for someone to wish you good tidings for the season by saying Merry Christmas? They’re wishing you well. Maybe you’re an atheist, Muslim, or are Jewish, but regardless of your religion or lack-there-of how is it insulting for someone to wish you merriment? Canada was founded as a Christian country, the British were mostly Anglican and the French were mostly Catholics, while Protestants dotted the landscape as well, but the majority of people this nation was founded upon were Christian. Today our holidays surround Christian holy days and this includes Christmas. What days off do most people have in December? Christmas Day. So, by saying Happy Holidays people are referring to Christmas anyways - which if we’re being picky holiday is actually a contraction of “holy day” so that’s inappropriate as well if Christmas is inappropriate. If someone were in the spirit of the season and wished me a Happy Hanukkah would I be offended? Not in the least, they were wishing me well during a time that is important to them. The same as Christmas greetings, people are simply wishing each other well during an important time for them. Whether they’re a Santa-focused Christmas group, a religious-focused Christmas group, or if they are focused on Christmas being a time of giving, they’re simply wishing you merriment. Since, merriment is the message being spread, how then can Merry Christmas be considered offensive? Unless, that is, you’re against people wishing joy to the world specifically in December. So, to everyone out there this holiday season, Merry Christmas, I wish you a wonderful month and good tidings in the New Year.

Season’s Greetings? Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

So here’s the deal: Even though we live in a world where medieval barbarism is indiscriminately unleashed upon the innocent, where racism still rears its ugly head and where (especially in this area, this year) job losses and economic uncertainty are aﬀecting so many people, why, oh why do we still insist on arguing about a simple greeting during what is supposed to be the season of peace and goodwill? Every year, this debate surfaces (I’m looking at you, Facebook), and every year it remains unresolved, ready to resurface just in time for next year’s Christmas season, because-according to the Holy Bible, no less-we insist upon honouring the letter of the law, rather than the spirit of the law. If we greet someone in the spirit of seasonal goodwill or if we receive a greeting wishing us well, does it really matter if the greeting is ‘Merry Christmas’ or something else? In modern parlance, I self-identify as a Christian (see: work in progress). And I wholeheartedly disagree with the watering down of Christmas (for those of us who celebrate it), but I also think it shouldn’t be used as a tool in the us versus them wars, simply because that is not in keeping with the true spirit of the season. Nor does it reﬂect well on the guy whose birth we Christians are supposed to be celebrating...

As someone who has spent a few Christmases in the belly of the seasonal beast-both as a shopper and as a retail employee-I’ve witnessed both sides of this debate ﬁrsthand, as I’m sure most of us have. There’s the lady I saw who kindly wished a harried cashier a ‘Merry Christmas’ and in return, received a sharp rebuke regarding the store staﬀer’s spiritual leanings, accompanied by a touching sermonette on tolerance (oh, the irony...). And on the other side, I’ve also seen a smiling someone wish a fellow shopper ‘Happy Holidays’ only to receive a lecture about the greeter’s lack of Christmas spirit (more irony)... I agree that currently, our culture seems to be overrun by grievance collectors ready to take offence at the slightest (usually unintentional) provocation. But does this mean we should join them? I don’t think so. And once again, it’s because the guy whose birth we’re honouring gave us an example that’s better than that. As we’re all struggling and stumbling through this world-and Christmas season- together, why don’t we all cut each other some seasonal slack and assume the best of each others’ greetings and good wishes? So in that spirit, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays-but most of all, “on earth peace and good will toward men.” (Luke 2:14). And please, let’s assume that St. Luke meant women and children, too!

Sask Women’s Curling Tour stops in Carlyle Kelly Running Observer Staff

Dickens Festival is always a busy weekend in Carlyle and this year, as they’ve done in years past, the Carlyle Curling Club hosted Saskatchewan Women’s Curling Tour (SWCT) Bonspiel from Friday, Dec. 4, to Sunday, Dec. 6. The bonspiel saw eight teams come together to compete. Last year there were a total of 12 teams participating, but Kristen Sauter said that with a new format in the SWCT and a qualifying bonspiel in Estevan the weekend of Dec. 11 to 13. Originally they were worried that they wouldn’t get enough teams to hold the bonspiel, but a couple of teams decided to join last minute which meant the event could go on. “We really like holding it on Dickens weekend,” Sauter said. “There’s just so much going on in town and the Main Street all decorated looks so good, and the women who come down very much enjoy it. So, we are planning on hosting our third annual bonspiel next year during Dickens weekend.” Heading into the competition the top three teams were Penny Barker’s team holding first with 17 points in the SWCT standings, while Kim Schneider trailed with 13 points, and Mandy Selzer following with 10 points. A total of eight teams competed at the Carlyle Spiel where first place was earned by Selzer’s team, which includes local curler Sauter from Kenosee, coming in second place was Barker’s team, and finishing in a 3/4 split were Shalon Fleming and Amber Holland. Leading the pack this year in the SWCT Standings is Barker’s team with 24 points, finishing

Other local curlers participating included Natalie Bloomﬁeld of Carlyle, Kristy Johnson of Wawota. Additionally, Amber Holland (Kent and Myrla Holland’s daughter) brought a team together for the bonspiel to help bolster numbers when it was thought the event may have to be cancelled.

There was high competition in Carlyle with teams vying for top spot on the Saskatchewan Women’s Curling Tour. There is one more competition this year and the top placed team will earn a berth to the Viterra Scotties Provincial Women’s competition.

Pee Wee Cougars host tournament Darren Simons Sports Contributor Well it was a “Dickens” of a weekend for the Pee Wee Cougars. Our local team played four games and unfortunately lost all four, however, they have begun to work better as a team and dig harder to prove their worth. Two of the games were lost by only 1 point. They had a tough fought game against Oxbow Saturday morning and lost 8 to 4. They then played Yorkton Saturday afternoon and after 1 period it was 2 to 1 and that was the final score after 2 more tough fought periods of Hockey. Goaltending by Logan ROMANIUK held us in this game with coaching support by Zane WINTERS who is on the “Injured Reserve” list. Sunday we started off slow against Estevan, however, finally woke up and played the 3rd like it was supposed to be played and gave up only 1 point in a 7 nothing loss.

It was then the “D” Final against Ochapowace where we were actually ahead by 2 points, however, during the last 5 minutes there was a little bit of panic and floundering which resulted in a loss. It was more of a team effort with 5 goals being scored by 4 different players. This showed our strength is quite evenly divided amongst all the players and to succeed we must play as a team. The “C” Final was a barn burner with Weyburn winning 3 to 2 in a shootout. The fans were at the edge of their seats, or at their wits end. Good hockey for sure. The “B” Final had Melville winning 1 to 0. Another close game with the fans again getting a good show. The “A” Final has Assiniboia defeating Oxbow 4 to 3. The Pee Wee Cougars appreciate the Carlyle businesses and community for once again supporting our tournament.

Novice Cougars put up 2 wins in weekend action Danielle Benjamin Sports Contributor The Novice Cougars played two games this week. They played in Carlyle on Wednesday and beat Arcola with a score of 41-4. On Sunday, we

went to Carievale and had a good game and won 22-4. Next hockey action for the team is this weekend when we play in Redvers in their tournament. Game time at 9 and 12 in Redvers. Go Cougars Go!

Arcola’s Rev Cycle offers a new spin on fitness Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Arcola offers a new spin on fitness, thanks to Ghislaine Carter’s Rev Cycle & Fitness. Carter offers indoor cycling classes on the eight new stationary bikes at her new studio south of town, and says: “Many people are both intrigued and apprehensive regarding indoor cycling. But I encourage them all to try something new. With indoor cycling, you’re in control of your own workouts and you start at a level that’s appropriate for you.” Carter and Mandy Rushfeldt are Rev’s instructors, and Carter adds: “The first class is free, so there’s nothing to lose and everything to gain.” Much like a traditional aerobics class, Carter leads the class from her bike and gently instructs and encourages, accompanied by an upbeat musical soundtrack; and she concludes the class by distributing cold towels infused with essential oils. “ We’ll even take (musical) requests,” she laughs. “But what I really want to stress is that I am there to instruct and encourage. I encourage exercise as a way of loving and appreciating the body you have and maintaining health and fitness.” “My job is to motivate and to encourage people to push themselves,” says Carter. “The ‘drill sergeant’ is the little voice that comes within themselves-making them work harder and forcing them to go beyond their comfort zone to get the best and most effective workout.” Carter says she will encourage-but never force-a participant to go beyond their comfort zone. “After the first class I taught, one girl stated that her legs were a little shaky. That tells me that she worked hard and pushed herself in class. But I would never adjust the tension on the bike for any participant. She did that all on her own.” “Indoor cycling is pure cardio and it’s something everyone can benefit from and enjoy, men included,” adds Carter. “The exercises and drills performed in class are athletic and cardiobased, focusing on speed, power and endurance.” Participant Michelle Cundall agrees, saying: “Ghislaine and I were in a bike race when she told

me she was thinking of opening up an indoor cycling studio. I told her to go for it.” “You work to your own level of fitness, you control the resistance, and the bikes are so user-friendly.” “I went to a studio in Regina when I lived there,” adds Cundall. “There’s only one there, so to have a studio here in Arcola is awesome.” Personal trainer Laurie James says, “For me, as a personal trainer, it’s great to change it up. It’s great to have this in our area.” Carter says a water bottle and a yoga mat are all a student needs to attend a class.

This year’s High Tea ‘Hat Lady’ was Beverley Thompson of White Bear Lake. “This year, we’ve had a lot of people who’ve never attended the Dickens Festival before,” says Thompson. “From the quilts decorating the church, to Irene Doty’s hat collectuion, to the tea itself; they’re just amazed.”

Street urchins Tiana Delalleau and Ciara Corrigan collected cash on behalf of the Carlyle Skating Club during the town’s Dickens Village Festival.

Edna and Herman Fornwald once again delighted Dickens crowds with free carriage rides throughout the weekend.

Kenosee Lake’s Jackie Doty was one of the many vendors at the Dickens Festival’s English Market, and said, “It’s great to be part of, and to experience Dickens.”

Harpist Sharon Elliot of Weyburn entertained attendees at the Dickens Festival High Tea at Carlyle United Church. Arcola’s Garth Herman “arrests” Dickens visitor Barb Kreics of Lampman at the Dickens High Tea in Carlyle. “We’ve been here for Dickens four or five times,” says Kreics. “The weather this year made the drive so easy. But we’ve come during blizzards before,” says Kreics. “It’s a great time!”

Weekly RCMP report Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Carlyle detachment of the RCMP responded to over 110 files between Friday, Nov. 27, and Thursday, Dec. 3. This included a string of break and enters and thefts from garages, sheds, and vehicles in Carlyle totalling 12 reports on Nov. 30. Several items were stolen including a restricted firearm, which had not been properly secured. The vehicles and buildings accessed were not locked. Members of the RCMP, following investigation and assistance from the public, worked alongside the RCMP Police Dog Services and Carlyle RCMP Traffic Services to execute a search warrant in a residence on White Bear First Nation on Thursday, Dec. 3.

Chevy, the police dog, and his handler were a good asset while executing the search warrant, S/Sgt. Darren Simons, said. Located in relation to the investigation were a 51-year-old male, 19-year-old male, 18-year-old male, and 16-year-old male at the residence. Items were seized including the restricted ﬁrearm, which had been reported, and a second ﬁrearm was also located. Investigation also led to the arrest of an 18-year-old male arrested at a nearby residence. They will be facing charges related to the search and seizure of the stolen property, as well as additional charges, most notably these are numerous failure to comply with release conditions. Animal calls A two-year-old quarter horse has been reported as missing from the Redvers area. There was a report of a dog biting another dog in Carlyle. Assault There was an as-

sault reported in the Carlyle area and it is currently under investigation. Failure to appear A witness to a case failed to appear for court. Harassment There was a complaint of harassment in the Carlyle area which was determined to be unfounded. Mischief There were four mischief calls in the Carlyle area regarding intoxicated individuals in residences. An individual called to report their motherin-law for being irritating. Breach of release Three individuals were charged with breaching their release conditions. False alarms There were a total of four false alarms reported to the Carlyle detachment. Fire RCMP assisted the local Fire Department on a call in Carlyle. Fraud There were reports of fraudulent activities in the area. A related

matter regarding someone using a fraudulent credit card occurred in both Carlyle and Redvers. An individual attempted to buy gift cards with a fake credit card. It was reported that an individual paid an amount to who they thought was Revenue Canada, however, it was not. RCMP encourage people to double check that they are sending funds to the correct people. Vehicle related infractions Three impaired drivers were reported, but RCMP were unable to locate the vehicles. There was a complaint in Arcola of a tire being slashed, however, it was found that it had gone ﬂat due to general wear and tear. A moose was hit near Stoughton, the occupant of the vehicle was ﬁne, but the moose was injured and had to be put down. There were two intersection related violations. A total of 46 speeding violations were

handed out, this includes both fines and warnings. Three people were fined $175 for not wearing a seatbelt. There were a total of 13 other non-moving traffic violations which range from tickets for not having valid registration to inspection tickets. Obstruction An individual was charged with obstruction when they ran as the RCMP went to arrest them. Theft A truck was stolen from the Carlyle area and the RCMP have a suspect in this matter.

Shoplifting was reported in Arcola. Other There was a report from within the R.M. of Brock of people attending a residence for unknown reasons and a ﬁght ensued. This matter is under investigation. A bystander reported a truck matching the description of one the RCMP were looking for; it was not the vehicle in question. An individual reported someone uttering threats to them within Moose Mountain Provincial Park and is under investigation.

and Michael and their families. A formal funeral service will not be held. On December 1 Clint and Stacey Beriault had the misfortunate to have a ﬁre in their attached garage, however the ﬁre was contained to the garage and they were fortunate not to lose their home. Eleanor Harrison, Faye Walker, Gray and Edel Cowan attended the KeyM Christmas party at the home of Dellan and Donna Mohrbutter on December 1. They enjoyed the evening with other employees as well and a good time was had visiting with everyone. The Alida Housing Committee held their annual Christmas supper on December 3 at #361 Café. The committee members, their spouses and invited guests enjoyed a delicious supper and the visiting among friends.

On Friday, December 4 the RM counsel and employees had their Christmas supper at 361 Café where they also recognized long-time employees – Paul Poulsen who has now retired from the RM after 20 years of employment and Tim Cowan who has been employed for ten years. Debbie, Lori and Chris have been busy with catering to diﬀerent Christmas parties now that have been held at the #361 Café during the past week and most likely during the following weeks to come. Just remember folks – have a good time but do DRIVE safely when you are on your way home Dot Girard, Marion Fuller and Jean McClung (all from Redvers) came down Alida on December 4 to spend some time with family members and friends. They all enjoyed a lunch at #361 Café where they met up with Gloria Girard, Brenda Junk, Rozanne McClung, Shirley Bendtsen and Glennis Peterson What an Evening!!! It was another HUGE success for the Alida 15122MF1 Rec Board when they hosted their annual Christmas Fundraiser on Saturday December 5. It was a sell out with approximately 130 in attendance. Cocktails, appetizers, browsing among the auction items, making decisions as to where one should put their tickets and also deciding how much one should bid on a special item in hopes to be a winner, a very delicious beef supper and entertainment by ventriloquist Damien James were all enjoyed by everyone. Winners of the auction items were declared and announced bring the evening to an end. Some continued to stay and enjoy visiting among their friends. What great weather we’ve been having - it surely will shorten up the cold winter. Let’s hope it will last throughout the rest of December, especially during the holiday season.

There have been so many celebrations - I hear Kipling had an excellent evening with their play on the weekend as well as the Home Town Christmas in Kennedy featuring Eli Barsi and Lizzy Hoyt - (two people won the guitars Eli had for door prizes, one going to Darcey Wagar of Kenosee Lake and the other to Marg Barta of Kipling, both evenings were attended, and all the folks that made it possible to have the Carlyle Dickens festival again, the High Tea is always interesting to attend and the Cornerstone Theatre play is always very entertaining. David and Heather McMillan arrived home from spending some time in Ontario with family. Saint Anne’s C.W.L. held their last meeting of the year on Thursday evening.

from Kennedy attended the Christmas supper at the Church of Christ on Monday evening. The decorations and hospitality are great along with the delicious food and entertainment this year Simmonne Boutin of Carlyle played her violin. Everyone went home with a gift and everyone brought food for the food bank, once again thinking of someone else. Tuesday night the Kennedy Figure Skating Club catered to about 60 persons enjoying a delicious turkey supper at the Kennedy Friendship Centre. There were many door prizes handed out and the music was Jim Cairns, Charlie Easton, David McMillan and Cheryl Dubois, a very nice evening. On the weekend the Mazur family of Regina visited with Bob and Lois Brickley, Paul and Zita Sandor. Friday and Saturday Micheal and Cindy West attended the Hockey Regina Female Challenge where their daughter coaches two hockey teams, granddaughters Baily McMaster plays with the Adam Capitals and Keeley plays with Novice Carpars. Both teams won the bronze medals, great grandma Ada Cancade and Aunt Carol West were also in attendance for this special time with the McMaster family. Gloria Rupert of Montmartre spent the weekend with George and I, being able to take in some of the events going on during the weekend.
