Arcola Daycare rocks the Red Carpet at Ladies’ Night Out Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Women walked the red carpet to support the Arcola Daycare at the facility’s second annual Ladies’ Night Out fundraising evening held Saturday, March 12 at Prairie Place Hall.

Like last year’s event, the 2016 version of the glam night out gave over 200 area women the chance to dress up and party with a purpose, with all proceeds from the event benefiting the Arcola Daycare’s building fund.

A red carpet-with photographer Rachel Dayman standing by-set the stage for the evening and a bar and select vendors gave attendees a chance to “sip and shop” throughout the evening, according to Jacqui Trippel of Carlyle.

“It’s a great event,” says Trippel. “There’s a great group of women in this area and the whole event is fantastic and the attention to detail is unreal. It supports the daycare and it’s fun to get dressed up, sip and shop, and enjoy a little girl time.”

This year, the black and gold decor featured touches from Arcola’s Cathy Burton, who says it’s important to try and keep the event updated and interesting.

“We have a lot going on,” says Burton, a daycare board member. “We have the Slykhuises back to provide another fabulous meal, complete with a dessert bar and we’ve also got door prizes, a silent auction, a 50/50 and to keep it fresh, our entertainer Jeff Richards who has been called ‘Canada’s Most Dangerous Mind’ (by the National Post) as well as our male auction, thanks to some of our Arcola-Kisbey Combines.”

Combines players Tanner Erickson, Cody Grimes, Lucas Hislop, Riley Marshall, Cooper Ryan and Sheldon Wyatt donated their services as waiters for the live auction, which raised a total of $1,910 for the daycare.

Ryan captured the top bid of $840, thanks to two tables who donated their cash for his services. Fellow Combine Erickson was the night’s winner of the 50/50 prize- worth $486-which he promptly contributed back to the daycare, while teammate Lucas Hislop donated his DJ services for the evening’s dancing.

Intuitive expert and psychic entertainer Jeff Richards enthralled believers and skeptics alike with what one woman called “his amazing intuition.” Richards visited tables throughout the night and also delivered a full stage show.

Auldene Craig of Arcola witnessed Richard’s abilities up close and onstage and said, “It was great, it really was.”

Daycare board chair Bree Ryan says, “The Arcola Daycare is a phenomenal place to take your child and that’s what this evening’s all about. We have a large list of volunteers and area donors and businesses to thank. Without them-and the ladies who attend this event-we wouldn’t be able to provide the quality childcare that we do.”

“That’s really what this evening’s all about.”

This year, the daycare’s Ladies’ Night Out featured a live auction courtesy of the Arcola-Kisbey Combines. Players Tanner Erickson, Cody Grimes, Lucas Hislop, Riley Marshall, Cooper Ryan and Sheldon Wyatt were willing to act as waiters for lucky bidders, with all profits to the daycare’s building fund. Ryan captured the top bid of $840, due to two tables who donated their total bids for his services. “I’m stunned,” he said. “But it’s all for a good cause.”

Jeff Richards-dubbed “Canada’s Most Dangerous Mind” by the National Post-enthralled the audience at the Arcola Daycare’s second annual Ladies’ Night Out, Saturday, March 12 at Arcola’s Prairie Place Hall. Richards won over both skeptics and believers with his unusual abilities, with several women in attendance declaring him “amazing.”

The Wawota Skating Club hosted a Grammy-themed, season-ending ice show at the Wawota forum on Sunday, March 13, with skaters taking to the ice and showcasing their talent, accompanied by a pop-themed soundtrack.

The show featured skaters from the tiny to the teenaged and provided evidence of the success of the Club’s second year offering the CanSkate program and its first year offering the StarSkate program, according to coach Leanne Sorenson, who added that members of the club are considering adding synchronized skating to the club’s offerings in the future.

“We are really happy to showcase the progress all of the skaters here have made over the past season,” says Sorenson. “It is great to see their confidence grow along with their skating abilities. We are thankful for all of the support we’ve received from the families and our community for helping our skating club grow.”

Glazed Ham with Horseradish Cream INGREDIENTS: 1 smoked ham (10 to 14 pounds), bone in and rind on 2/3 cup lightly packed grated fresh horseradish (from a 6-inch piece of peeled horseradish root), divided 1/2 cup honey 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 1 cup creme fraiche 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in lower third. Rinse and dry ham and wrap first in parchment, then in foil, making sure thicker rind faces up. Place on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan and bake 1 1/2 hours.

2. Meanwhile, stir together 1/3 cup horseradish, honey, allspice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl and set aside.

3. Remove ham from oven and unwrap. When cool enough to handle, peel rind from ham with a paring knife, trimming fat all over to about 1/2 inch. (It doesn’t need to be perfectly even; the bottom will have less fat and more skin.) Pat dry. With the tip of the knife, score the skin with 1/4-inch-deep parallel lines, 1 to 2 inches apart. Then score skin in the opposite direction to create a diamond pattern. Return to oven and bake 30 minutes. Baste with honey-horseradish mixture and continue to bake, basting every 30 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of flesh near (but not touching) bone registers 145 degrees, about 2 hours more. If necessary, add water to pan, about 1/4 cup at a time, to prevent pan from scorching, and tent with foil if ham begins to blacken.

4. Meanwhile, stir together creme fraiche, remaining 1/3 cup horseradish, thyme, and shallot.

Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Transfer ham to a serving platter and let rest at least 20 minutes. Serve with horseradish cream.

The Carlyle Skating Club wrapped up another successful season at their annual ice show-entitled ‘Rock of Ages!-Sunday, March 13 at the Carlyle Sports Arena. “We have so many people to thank,” says StarSkate rep, Anita Delalleau. “It’s been a great year and that’s all because of the efforts of so many people. The parents, our volunteers, the businesses who are so generous, our coaches and our rink caretaker, Brent Stillwell, who always works so hard on our behalf. And of course, our skaters, who put on such a great show.”

Leave your excuses behind.

The Carlyle Skating Club rocked the rink with their finale performance, Rock of Ages! Sunday, March 13 in the Carlyle Sports Arena.

Thirty-five skaters-some as young as fouryears-old-showed the audience their skating skills with a show inspired by the rock-themed musical.

In addition to the club’s skaters, guest skaterand Pre-Novice Men’s Canadian Champion-Koen Kucher made the trip from his home in Regina to skate two solos for the show.

One of the Carlyle Club’s StarSkate coaches, Dawn Brady says, “We have four StarSkate coaches and 17 StarSkaters. We haven’t had that many skaters at that level for a long time and most of them have achieved or surpassed the (skating) goals they made at the beginning of this year.”

“And they’ve travelled from Virden to Esterhazy to Kindersley for testing,” adds StarSkate coach Katy Soroka. “Everyone has accpmplished at least one test this year, too.”

“We’ve got a couple of CanSkate skaters ready to move up next year,” says Soroka. “So this is a growing club, for sure.”

StarSkate rep and event volunteer, Anita Delalleau agrees, saying: “It’s been a fantastic year and all of our skaters worked really hard, which we saw on the ice today. And we are all so excited to have Koen Kucher here today as our show’s guest skater.”

“We have so many people to thank,” says Delalleau. “It’s been a great year and that’s all because of the efforts of so many people. The parents, our volunteers, the businesses who are so generous, our coaches and our rink caretaker, Brent Stillwell, who always works so hard on our behalf.”

“And of course, our skaters, who put on such a great show.”

The Carlyle Skating Club’s ‘Rock of Ages!’ will air on Access Television Tuesday, March 22 at 9:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 23 at 7 p.m. and Wednesday, March 30 at 9:30 p.m.

Wrestling her way to success: Catching up with Tianna Kennett Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Although she’s only beginning her varsity wrestling career, 18-year-old Tianna Kennett of Manor has already made her mark nationally, as part of the University of Calgary Dinos Women’s wrestling team, as well as winning the bronze medal at the CIS Nationals held earlier this month in St. Catherines, Ontario.

In February, Kennett was named 2015-2016 Rookie of the Year during the Canada West Universities Athletic Association Conference in Winnipeg. Along with that gold medal, Kennett helped her team defend their previous year’s gold-medal standing at the event.

“Coaches from each team get a vote on who they think the best rookie is,” says Kennett when asked about the award. “I was surprised, because there’s some tough competition in Canada.”

The 59-kg wrestler is no stranger to competition. Since she started wrestling as a 14-year-old grade nine student at Manor School under the direction of gym teacher, Monte McNaughton, Kennett’s wrestling career has gone from strength to strength and her time at the University of Calgary has already inspired her with thoughts of the Olympics.

“Joining the team in Calgary was sort of intimidating, because there are such high-level women (wrestlers) working with you. There’s also an Olympic coach in the room every day.”

“I’m obviously a little biased, but the big attraction to Calgary for me is that senior women’s

team,” says Kennett. “We have our women’s Olympic coach right here in Calgary.”

“The funny thing is, I came in at a really weird time. During the fall, they were getting ready for Olympic trial selection in December 2015, so there was a huge group of women each pursuing their Olympic dream. A lot of them were pushing really hard and were super-competitive.”

“I’d definitely say I’m an Olympic hopeful,” continues Kennett. “I’m definitely in the right room for it and the right city for it.”

“When I started wrestling in Manor, Monte McNaughton-our gym teacher- started doing wrestling in gym class and he started a club in Manor,” she continues. “My little sister joined and at first, I didn’t. I watched one tournament and the coach persuaded me to go to one practice.”

“At first, I said; ‘No, that’s ridiculous, that’s not for me,’ but I didn’t know right away that I could pursue it as long as I have.”

“The peak age for wrestlers is between 26 and 30,” she adds. “So I have five years of eligibility after my varsity career. Something like the Olympics aren’t in the back of my mind, but I’d say they’re in the middle.”

“Women’s wrestling became an Olympic sport in 2004. It was a real wave of the sport empowering women. It’s only been in three Olympics so far, and as a sport at that level, I would say it’s still a bit of a struggle, because wrestling is seen as a little more masculine.”

“Wrestling isn’t a really popular sport,” adds Kennett. “There’s no NHL or NBA. The Olympics are our big goal. With that, the opportunity only comes around every four years and even then,

wrestling got voted out of the Olympics as a sport and it was a hard fight to get it reinstated.”

“In Calgary, though, there’s not as much of a struggle to prove yourself as far as that aspect. But in competition, whatever you win here, you’ve really earned it.”

“What I would say to younger women that have an interest in the sport is to try it. It’s actually very empowering. It isn’t a shameful quality for a woman to be strong.”

The first-year nursing student lives in residence and says her classes are arranged around a Monday through Friday training regimen.

“I sometimes train on Saturdays, too,” says Kennett. “And during competition season, we usually compete on weekends. I try to take Sundays off when I can, because it’s important to have that rest, too.”

Varsity wrestling competition season runs from December through March, and depending on a wrestler’s success at the national level, can run through summer, according to Kennett..

“It’s very hard on your body,” she says. “I’ve been very fortunate-I experienced my first injury not long ago when I partially tore my MCL (medial collateral ligament) on my knee. That took me out for a couple of weeks. It was really challenging, because I couldn’t be training my hardest.”

“That was a hard, hard time not to be able to compete and train through your normal regimen.”

“Wrestling takes a lot of drive and persistence.

It’s a very humbling sport, because somebody is literally beating you and no matter how hard you’ve trained or what you’ve overcome, there’s always a winner and a loser.”

Other topics discussed With letters received from a various people in the community, the Town of Carlyle will be making the Transit Van operational again. It went through a period last year of not being used, but a need has resurfaced for the van and a driver will be sought in the near future.

The Town of Carlyle approved $2,600 to be given to the Rusty Relics Museum, this is an amount which is budgeted for each year.

With warmer than usual weather town employees have now opened up the playground early.

It was pointed out that the weekly water consumption report over the last five weeks was down from previous weeks. This is mostly attributed to the repair of two water leaks that made a considerable difference in consumption.

Feel sorry for Laich? Maybe, maybe not

By Bruce Penton Brooks Laich must feel like the guy waiting in line for a couple of hours to ride the best ferris wheel in the world and then, finally getting to the front, hearing those awful words: “Sorry, closed for the day.”

For 12 years, Laich stood in line for the Washington Capitals, never getting to the front — until this year. Finally, the ferris wheel ride would be his: The Caps are the best team in the league and one of a couple of teams figuring to be strong favourites to win the Stanley Cup. Until … trade deadline day arrived on Feb. 29, and Laich was shipped to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Sorry, back of the line, buddy.

But don’t feel sorry for Brooks Laich, the 32-year-old pride of Wawota, Sask.

The guy has a few million dollars in the bank, thanks to a healthy contract he signed recently that pays him $4.5 million a year. He’s engaged to a famous movie star, Julianne Hough, who starred in the recent TV movie Grease and

was a TV regular as a two-time Dancing with the Stars champion and more recently a judge on the same show. He has a loving family back in Wawota and a whole community who follows his every move.

So Laich has the money, the pretty girl and a reverence among fans in Washington, who loved his willingness to interact as a “regular guy” with Washington fans. He made headlines a few years ago by making a late-night highway stop to change a flat tire on a Caps’ fan’s car after she and her daughter had just watched Laich’s Capitals get eliminated from the playoffs. It’s Laich lore that will probably be a footnote, or perhaps the opening paragraph, in his Hockey News obituary.

So the fans love him, his banker loves him, and Hough obviously loves him, too, but 2016 won’t be Laich’s favourite year because he’s now a member of the worst team in the NHL, and it will be cruel punishment for him to watch on TV as the best friends he has in the whole world — Alex Ovechkin and Co. — stride toward the Stanley Cup. Don’t feel sorry for him as a person, but you could shed a tear for him as a hockey player, because the

Quote of the Week . . .

“People are trapped in history and history is trapped in them.”

- James A. Baldwin

American politics have me wondering I usually pay minimum attention to elections in the United States because, well, I can’t do anything to affect the outcome, but it’s important to know what the sentiments in the United States are because their president is considered the most powerful man in the world.

The United States president is Kelly Running considered the leader of the Free Observer Staff World. Although this is a colloquial term developed during the Cold War, it’s still in context today as the United States remains a superpower… although in 2015 Time magazine proclaimed the German Chancellor Angela Merkel the “Chancellor of the Free World,” so it’s not exclusively an American phrase.

Yet, the United States has continued as a World Power with countries watching and taking their cues from them. So, as I read and listen about Donald Trump, I personally worry. His campaign promises in my opinion are sketchy. A quick Google of his campaign promises includes building a wall, which Mexico will have to pay for, between the two countries. The Washington Post reported that Trump also plans to bar Syrian refugees and kick out any that have already arrived, while also creating a database of Syrian refugees.

He apparently also wants to establish surveillance of mosques in the United States, stop space exploration, strengthen the military, be unpredictable, bring back waterboarding, deport the nearly 11 million immigrants illegally living in the United States, and more.

His politics are divisive and have even lead to violence in Chicago between his supporters and protestors.

I was talking to someone the other day and they asked, why Donald Trump was the only candidate that seemed to be in the news. You hear of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, but what are they promising? And it does seem that the Republican party and Donald Trump are getting the most media coverage, which I personally think is because people seem to love crazy. They want to know what Trump said next because it could be something outrageous, because as Trump said himself, he’s unpredictable.

So essentially, in my opinion, people just reading the news are going to be bombarded with everything Trump and they will either vote for him or against him depending on how they feel about what he’s saying. Even though they might not know what the other candidate and party necessarily stand for, it seems like the country is either with Trump or against him and that will be reflected in the votes.

I’ve seen a variety of things around social media likening Trump and Trudeau, which I think is quite odd as their politics couldn’t be any more different. Trudeau based his platform on inclusion and everyone being Canadian no matter their race or religion, that Canadians help people and that is the Canada he wanted to represent. I would say Trump in contrast is polarizing and has made some bold statements during his campaign.

So, I have a tough time seeing the comparison.

For Canadians and the rest of the world, I guess we’ll just wait to see what happens south of the 49th in the next while.

Safe and secure when it matters most I was paging through a newspaper from a community in B.C. when an ad caught my eye.

It had babies in it; three of them; newborns; triplets. A local grocery store had stepped forward with a year’s supply of diapers for the new family. In the picture mom and dad are each holding a baby, while the store manger is holding the third. The babies embraced by mom and dad have Shelley Luedtke their eyes shut, likely sleeping.

The child in the manager’s arms is wide awake--looking straight up at the man, presumably a stranger. Captured in that split second picture is a newborn looking quite unnerved.

At the top of the 630 foot Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, visitors have a spectacular view of the Mississippi River on one side, or the city of St. Louis on the other. It is built so that you can lean right into the windows on slanted ledges allowing you to gaze straight down, if you wish. Some tourists choose to freeze to a spot in the middle of the viewing area and just let their eyes dart to the left or right. I enjoyed my time at the top but there was one moment when my legs felt wobbly. There was a young couple who set their baby at the end of the ledge against the window to get some shots of the child with the skyline in the background. The baby was safe, the enclosed viewing area was solid, but watching the baby crawl along the glass while knowing what was 630 feet below caused my knees to buckle. The baby, of course, was fine. He didn’t have a sense of how high up we were or how others in the Arch were dealing with the sensation. As long as mom and dad were there, he was content. Felt safe. Secure.

The feeling of safety is a powerful force. It provides the shelter under which one feels capable and assured. A sense of security undergirds a sense of well-being. Equally powerful a force is the feeling of vulnerability or threat when there is no perception of safety. But what we each feel leads to our sense of security makes a difference as to where we think those security priorities should be placed.

unfettered access to lockers, backpacks or security footage a way of keeping ahead of school violence, or is it treating all students as potential criminals?

Should the contents of our phones, computers, or banking transactions be open to scrutiny by law enforcement in the interest of public safety, or are we entitled to conduct our lives without surveillance by those in power?

Those who supported Bill C-51(Canada’s AntiTerrorism Bill) pointed to its strength in sharing critical information needed to thwart plots. Those who opposed it felt it went too far impinging on civil liberties. Is our right to privacy irrefutable? Or are any means now, or those that may be developed in the future, justifiable in keeping us safe?

Those who govern are going to have to discern a path through this confusing landscape of balancing private rights with public safety. I will happily submit to increased airport security, I will provide criminal record checks to those that require them, and I will wait in line patiently at tourist attractions while belongings are inspected. But none of those things give me a measure of security.

I am well aware that anything could happen to me at any time…like those who got on a plane, ate at an outdoor cafe, went to school, vacationed at a resort, had tickets to a concert or attended church.

No matter what measures are taken there are those who will misuse and abuse whatever is necessary to break in, break apart, or break through with the intent to destroy. So our sense of security won’t come from extra metal detectors, enhanced background checks or encrypted passwords.

My security is found in a faith that gives me strength for tomorrow and a desire to live fully and without fear today. My security is found in the blessing that if something unthinkable were to happen there would be people ready to help me through it. Security comes from knowing that no matter the situation, no matter how unnerved I might be, and no matter how precarious the place I find myself, they would look me in the eye, tell me they are with me, and convince me that one day things will again be okay. When we have people who will stand with us in the most dangerous situations, or who will hold us close despite our inability to embrace them back, then we have the highest security system in the world.

That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

Cereal-snubbers and the maligning of millenials

Lazy Millennials to blame for decline in cereal sales?

Lynne Bell

Kelly Running

Are Fruit Loops finished? Has Cap’n Crunch crashed?

According to a recent New York Times report, cereal manufacturers are seeing a 15-year steady slide in profits, partly because-according to a survey by global research firm, Mintel- nearly 40 percent of young adults born between 1980 and 2000 (aka millenials) find “cereal inconvenient to consume.”

Following this revelation were a barrage of opinion pieces and news reports decrying the lazy entitlement of this particular demographic cohort.

However, all is not as it seems.

The survey’s question in question actually read like this: “Which of the following statements about hot or cold cereal do you agree with?” And one of the choices for an answer was: “Cereal is inconvenient because I have to clean dishes after I prepare it.”

Thirty-nine percent of millenials chose this answer, as well as 17 percent of Gen-Xers (those born between the mid-1960s and 1980), followed by 10 percent of Baby Boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964). Perhaps unsurprisingly, only three percent of those born during World War Two selected this response.

If cereal sales are on the decline, a few other factors could be considered.

The popularity of low-carb diets and concern about excess sugar consumption might be one reason why cereal-snubbers are setting aside their morning bowls for something else.

And in the case of much-maligned millenials, portability is a key concern when it comes to breakfast. In the same report, the New York Times stated: “They either don’t eat breakfast at all, or eat it somewhere other than home. And when they do eat breakfast, a bowl of cold cereal is often replaced by hot grains, smoothies, yogurt or breakfast sandwiches.”

However, the millenials’ prioritization of portability might be because they’re hustling hard to make a living, which often consists of a few parttime jobs and/or contract positions strung together to make up something resembling a full-time job.

A fairer-and more accurate- depiction of millenials might result if a survey compared today’s twenty-somethings with twenty-somethings of past generations, rather than comparing them to today’s 30 to 70-year olds.

It’s all too easy-and frankly, lazy-to automatically assume the default position of “Kids these days” or “In my day...” when it comes to stereotyping younger people.

Millenials, like every generation before them, have unique challenges-and yes, advantages-that are particular to them.

As a group, they deal with a less certain and secure job market and a scary housing market, just to name two. And although they have embraced technology, they’ve had no choice but to ride this wave of unprecedented change.

I work with two twenty-somethings, and Kelly and Ainsley are both hardworking, tech-savvy team players and would dispel the “lazy, entitled millenial” stereotype within seconds.

Corporations and media outlets should take note-instead of grumbling about the perceived failings of today’s twenty-somethings as they pertain to cereal bowls.

Well the Millennials are once again to blame.

The “lazy” generation has in fact been blamed for being so lazy that they’re to blame for a 15 year industry-wide profit decrease of cereal sales. Seriously? My generation is too lazy to make cereal!

Well I guess it’s time to defend my generation once again… It seems to be a usual occurrence to defend against the laziness of my generation, but I digress.

Can the decline of cereal really be blamed on the laziness of Millennials? Sure, there are lazy people out there, that is transcends generations.

But, lazy to the point of not being able to make cereal?

A New York Times report essentially stated that Millennials were uninterested in pouring their cereal into a bowl, topping it with milk, eating with a spoon, and then cleaning dishes up afterwards.

This is too much work apparently.

Now, I personally simply do not like cereal.

It’s a texture thing, the same way I don’t care for bananas. If I don’t eat cereal fast enough it turns soggy and mushy, and it’s gross in my opinion. I sometimes will put granola with yogurt, but I prefer eating toast, eggs, or even leftovers before cereal. Leftovers from pizza, which isn’t too strange, to butter chicken and rice or leftover lasagne which I’m informed aren’t typical breakfast foods. I’ve never been big on stereotypical breakfast foods.

But for Millennials to be called too lazy to eat cereal? I was surprised. Yes, my leftovers don’t take long to warm up and eat, and there’s minimal

cleanup because all the dirty dishes were made the night before. However, choosing to have an egg sandwich in the morning comes with a few more dishes than cereal does, and that’s my go to in the morning.

This concept is apparently one that is held across the board, however. The lazy Millennial doesn’t want to work, they no longer eat cereal because it’s a hassle, and I’ve even heard that when marketing coffee that quick and easy types win out – the mix with hot water instant types – because Millennials don’t know how to make a pot of coffee and they don’t really like the taste.

Again this was news to me as I made a cup of French pressed decaf coffee at home, which I drank black. Yes, it took me a little while to get used to the flavour of coffee, but now I very much like it and adding almond milk on occasion is as far as I go for changing it up.

The idea of the lazy millennial is very much integrated into the thoughts of people today. But, when growing up we were always told we could do anything we wanted and for the most part, we wanted to make a difference, to do something worthwhile. For some they lucked out and found something that they feel is meaningful, that they think is contributing to their community or to the world, but others are spinning their tires wanting to find that feeling but not knowing what it is their calling in life is, so they bounce from job to job or only hold a part-time job. They’re trying to figure out what to do with their lives.

The idea of the lazy millennial is a generalization, which people love to do, but as with any generalization we don’t always understand the intricacies of it.

Flyers face-off with Coalers in Big Six final Kelly Running Observer Staff

Staff photo by Kelly Running

Adam Jordan #1 (pictured here making a save) was tested between the pipes, but prevailed with Wawota winning the first game of the final series in the Big Six League versus the Bienfait Coalers in overtime.

After a season of hard work the Wawota Flyers and Bienfait Coalers have met in the final series of the Big Six Playoffs. Vying for the championship, the two teams finished first (Wawota) and second (Bienfait) respectively after the round robin, and earned wins on the road to the championship through quarterfinal and semifinal battles.

The final match-up saw the first game of the series held in Wawota on Wednesday, March 9. A packed house came to cheer on the home team.

The game was a battle as the Bienfait Coalers took to an early lead scoring at 19:29 in the first with an unassisted goal by Ryan Wrigley.

The Flyers answered back at 19:10, with Ben Johnstone scoring a goal assisted by Brent Struble. On a power play the Flyers added another at 4:35, again with Ben Johnstone putting the puck in the net with help from Brent Struble and Justin Lamontagne.

The second period saw opportunities for both teams, but it was the Coalers which capitalized with a goal at 3:34 by Russ Schneider, which was set up by MacKenzie Selk and Chase McKersie.

tinued with no one gaining the upper hand in the third period, meaning the Flyers and Coalers would take it to overtime.

The fourth period would see the Flyers take home the win with a goal at 4:34 by Brent Struble assisted by Justin Lamontagne.

The second game was held on Monday, March 14, in Bienfait – which took place after The Observer deadline – the third game was held on Wednesday, March 16, in Wawota and the fourth game has been scheduled in Bienfait for Friday, March 18. If the best of seven series isn’t resolved in four, other games will be scheduled as needed.

In addition to the Big Six league coming to a close with this series Wawota, Redvers, and Carnduff have just finished competing in the Saskatchewan Hockey Association (SHA) Provincials.

Wawota took on Gull Lake in the Senior C division with Gull Lake leading the series and making their way to provincial finals after a close battle with Wawota.

Redvers took on Kyle in the Senior D division, with Kyle earning a place in provincial finals.

Carnduff faced Rocanville in the Senior B division with Rocanville winning the series and heading to provincial finals.

In the 7th Maple Creek snatched a 3 ender but the girls were not giving up and played a strong 8th end to even the score. A well played extra end earned them the bronze medal.

Congratulations girls!

Submitted by Colleen Farnden The perfect come-around, the in-off to the button and the angle raise to count one...these were the shots that teams at the Brier in Ottawa were making, but teams at the Carlyle Curling Club were also making these kinds of shots when ten rinks took part in the annual 49’ers bonspiel March 7, 8 and 9. Local rinks, Ray Lothian and Kent Holland, plus Marlene Gies from Kipling, George Eisler from Wawota, Dexter Samida and Cec Morrell from Whitewood, Bruce McCarthy from Kenosee Lake, Lorne Perry and Larry Chapman from Arcola and Arol Phair of Carnduff enjoyed three days of curling. Some games were close, some were lopsided, there were some “called” shots and some “not called” shots, but every end saw lots of rocks in play, and with a house like that, you never knew what might happen and that made it exciting for everyone!

Jack and Diane Wilson and helpers did a wonderful job of providing lunches all three days and on Wednesday evening they served a delicious pork supper to curlers and guests.

Arol Phair and his rink of Ian Phair, Henry Luhr and Bruce Porter from Carnduff were the winners of the 2016 bonspiel and will have their names engraved on the Tom Dovell Millennium trophy.

The 49’ers curling season has come to a close and everyone will be looking forward to the arrival of spring and enjoying a great summer!!

Pause for Reflection

By Ken Rolheiser www.kenrolheiser.com

By Ken Rolheiser I recently heard a comedian play on the dire situation described by a woman on line. She said that her life seemed all darkness and shadows.

Of course the chuckle came when he pointed out that in a place of darkness there are no shadows.

Good Friday is a place of darkness we revisit each year. Our lives have valleys of darkness that often seem to want to swallow us. We need the Resurrection of Easter, we need the Transfiguration of the Mountain top (Matthew 17) to lift us to hope and joy.

At a lay prayer service in a seniors’ home I recently chose the Transfiguration passage as our Gospel reading. After the reading I tried to put a

smile on the faces before me.

In our regular service our Pastor always first tries to make the seniors smile. He engages them actively in the scene, asking them to clap their hands, stamp their feet, and smile - “If you’re happy and you know it say Jesus!” Then he tells them Jesus wants them to be happy and that Jesus loves them. Then they are ready to receive a message.

In Matthew 17 Jesus takes Peter, James and John with him to a mountain top where he is transfigured before them. “All my life,” I told the seniors before me, “I have focused on why God shared this moment with Jesus. Jesus was preparing to go to Jerusalem and there he would

meet his death by crucifixion.”

It is curious, I thought, that Jesus gets a special vision before he faces death but you and I don’t. “But this year it struck me,” I told them, “that this scene was for us. ‘This is my son, the beloved. Hear him.’ When we face the end of our lives we can look forward to meeting our parents, our grandparents or friends that have gone before us.

“Jesus met with Moses and Elijah. We will meet with our loved ones. This should bring us joy as we anticipate our Resurrection.”

Easter Resurrection and the Mountain top experience of the Transfiguration will help us as we anticipate the end of our lives. Even in that valley of darkness we will all face, there is cause for a smile and for hope.

Father Brendan McGuire shares a moment when he visited a dying man. In the prayer for Commendation of the Dying it says, “Go to meet your maker; go to meet your Lord in the Garden of Paradise; He will greet you, and all the angels and the saints will come out to meet you.”

McGuire shares: “I usually lean into them and say, ‘Just say yes to the Lord’.” But on this occasion he looked at the patient and added, “Ron, will you please say hello to the Lord for me and tell him I need some help here.

“Ron looked at me straight in the face and smirked. It was such a relief because in that moment we broke through. In that moment, he was ministering to me, not I to him… he knew that… soon he would be able to meet the Lord.”

“We need to remember those moments of hope,” McGuire says, remember those moments when God was present to us, “and to pass on this hope to others.”

May the Joy of the Easter Resurrection be with you this Easter and throughout the coming year.

By Linda Wegner Where did the time go? To those of us who happen to live in the semi-annual “move your clock back or forward, depending on the season” can enjoy that extra hour of sleep in the fall. Not so in the spring.

Although I freely admit that I prefer the option of staying on the same time year round, last night’s “spring forward” routine provided a theme for today’s column. Time is such a precious commodity that when we lose an hour of it our bodies let us know what they think and it’s usually not positive.

This morning someone mentioned that time flies when you’re having fun. That reminded me of a story I heard about two frogs sitting on lily pads.

One commented to the other: “Time’s fun when you’re having flies”. It’s a groaner but it does illustrate a couple of ways in which we can view the matter of time.

On a more serious note, the passage and the amount of time allotted to each of us is a currency we can’t control: we had no voice in our birth date and often, no input into the diagnosis of a serious disease or the passing of a loved one.

Events around us come and go with no regard as to how they might fit into our schedule.

Ethan the Ezrahite, one of the writers of the Psalms, poured out his pain by asking, “How long, Lord? Will you hide Yourself forever? Remember how short my time is….”

What an encouragement to know that as long as we have breath, the Lord is ready and waiting for us to avail ourselves of His mercy and grace.

“For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved,” (Romans 10:14). The offer is for whosoever. The only limits are personal choice and time.

Genetically modified crops

By Calvin Daniels It is obvious to anyone following the issue of genetically modified crops, or livestock, that the technology remains controversial in the minds of many.

Granted anything new can be looked upon with wary eyes, although the world seems to adopt tech such as cellphones, UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), a myriad of new health products, and so much more with nary a sideways glance.

Yes, GM on the farm means it is ultimately consumed, and that heightens the concerns for many, although we take drugs nearly without question, and accept the waves that power cellphones are safe.

The farm sector looking to expand its possibilities in terms of food production though faces a harsher audience.

For myself the realm of GM intrigues because I see it as holding out the quickest way to increased

yields, to creating crops which can grow in more saline soils, that can thrive on less water, than can fight off bugs without insecticides etc.

Will the tech solve all of the above issues?

Truthfully not likely, at least in the short term, but GM does seem to hold a higher prospect of success in less time than conventional plant breeding developments, which is in essence genetic modification by more conventional means.

The wheat that is today resistant to rust is modified from the same wheat plant once devastated by the blight.

So a recent article at www.producer.com caught my attention with the lead paragraph “If humans want fewer forests, more expensive food and more greenhouse gases, banning genetically modified crops is a good place to start, says a Purdue University economist.”

It went on the explain, “a Purdue study, soon to be published in AgBioForum states that growing GM corn, soybeans and cotton reduces the amount of land needed to grow crops in the U.S., thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural land.”

As interesting as the rest of the article was, in terms of its positive take on the impact of GM crops, was the reaction noted in the comments.

There were accusations of the article being simply propaganda, with a suggestion GMOs work like a bomb on the environment.

Maryfield Sunrise Villa News

By Alice Chaput On Wednesday, we counted the money for Tele-Miracle. There was 238 from the Villa.

World Day of Prayer was at the Villa. Quite a few people came with six different churches represented.

Janet Mark and Heather Ludlam visited with Ferne Hutton at the Redvers Health Centre. Ferne is moving to the Carnduff Nursing Home. Edith Gagnon sent a lap robe she had made as a farewell gift for Ferne.

Visitors to Alice Zimmerman were her daughters Shirley Palendat from Wawota, Joyce Schlapkoh. From Estevan and Archie Miller and Jaleigh Fox from Manor.

Linda Mulligan came to visit her mother Freda Longman.

Vistored for Ruth Longman were Cy and Chris Longman from Brandon and Doug and Dianna Longman from Rocanville. Joe and Shirley Blaise and Ruth Holstrom. Therese LeMontange came to visit her friends on Sunday.

Carol and Jim Adair from Moosomin came to visit Alan Adair.

The article suggested safety concerns are unproven, which had others commenting about more and more research connecting such foods to health concerns.

Of course that is an issue isn’t it. Research often contradicts other research.

One person noted that GMs have been around a couple of decades without evidence of problems, countered that issues can take longer than two, or three decades to emerge.

That is likely true, DDT and asbestos and PCBs coming to mind.

But does that mean we shelf every new product, or crop to allow a half century of data from testing before releasing it?

Will cellphones one day be linked to brain conditions?

It doesn’t help that the public seems to have a current tilt away from trusting scientists.

Is global climate change real?

You can’t even get our MPs and MLAs all on the same page on that one, or on how we should be reacting if the issue is real.

How the agriculture sector manoeuvres through the current GM minefield is unclear. Those opposed as not to be swayed by science, or they would already have done so.

And that really only leaves the passage of time, although that is worrisome since many still doubt we have landed on the moon.

is her mother Claire Germain (Regina), she had also come to see her daughter Margaret preform on stage during the Sunday Matinee of the Drama Production. Also visiting on Sunday, March 13 was their daughter Patti Mowchenko and granddaughters Claire and Alice (all of Estevan).

On Sunday, March 13 attending the Drama Production during the Sunday Matinee were past residents of Alida - Glennis Peterson (Weyburn) and her daughter Donna McDonald (Lang), Yvonne

Dzuba (Weyburn), Randy and Wendy Dubuc (Estevan), Maxine Armstrong (Kenosee), Napoleon Dubuc, Irene Girard, Dot Girard, Marion Fuller, Jean McClung (all of Redvers).

Spending some time on the farm on March 11-12 visiting with Gray and Edel Cowan were son Murray and grandson Adam Cowan (Estevan).

WHAT A WEEK ….

It began on Wednesday, March 9 at the Dessert Theater for the 24th performance of Act One Productions when they presented “A Party to Murder”. There

16033TS1

were approximately 30 guests in attendance who enjoyed the three delicious desserts which were prepared by Diane Potapinski and Celine Fouillard. On Thursday, March 10 for the first Cocktail Theater there were approximately 70 guests in attendance who enjoyed the appetizers of a cheeseball skull, crackers and a veggie tray with dip which were served by the Prairie Pride Credit Union staff and board members. Then on Friday March 11 it was a full house (128) who attended the second Cocktail Theater with the same appetizers on the menu which were served by community members. The Cocktail managers were Margaret Peet and Cheryl Harrison. On Saturday, March 12 for the Dinner Theater it was another complete sell out with 128 in attendance. They seemed to enjoy the delicious meal of Lemon Chicken, mashed potatoes and baked veggies, which also included a salsa salad and brownie dessert. Dinner Theater managers were the Hall and Rink Auxiliary

with Maureen Boutin and Lesa Bendtsen as leaders and Newalta provided the dish washers for the evening. On Sunday, March 13 for the Sunday Matinee saw approximately 65 in attendance.

They too seemed to enjoy the production and during the intermissions enjoyed the delicious cookies and beverages which were arranged by Rozanne and Sara McClung. During the production days it was noted that there were many family and friends from the surrounding towns representing Redvers, Carnduff, Carievale, Storthoaks, Manor, Wauchope, Oxbow, Estevan, Regina and Weyburn, and Manitoba was also represented. Hopefully I haven’t missed any place – if I have I’m sorry, my memory may not be as good as it used to be (ha). The winner of the $1000 draw was Ian McKinna of Alida – Congratulations Ian. All in all it was a great success for the Act One Production Drama Club and in turn will benefit the community. Act One appreciates the commitment from Alida

and surrounding area for your commitment to this year’s production.

Without this continued help there would be no show. Although the actors seem to get the attention and the glory while being on stage, the real stars are behind it doing just as hard of a job as anyone else.

Appreciation also goes to everyone in the audience for your continued support and making this seem all worthwhile.

Hearing the laughter and excitement makes the past few months of work pay off. See you next year at our 25th production – plans are already under way.

Did you get a chance to watch the Brier this past week? I was limited with my time watching the games due to our drama – but I did manage to see some and the turnout was in my favour – Kevin Koe and his team from Alberta will now be Team Canada – Go guys go.

Please remember to give me a call (306443-2496) or text (306485-8561) or e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel.net) with your news. I really do appreciate your help.

Saskatchewan records second largest exports ever in 2015

General Employment

Shipments nearly doubled in a decade Saskatchewan recorded its second largest exports ever in 2015 with $32.6 billion in goods shipped to countries around the world, according to initial data from Industry Canada.

While total exports were down eight per cent from 2014, due mainly to lower oil shipments to the United States, strength in other sectors nearly offset that decline.

“Our agriculture industry led the way last year with record sales of $15.1 billion while exports from our mineral industry increased by 33 per cent to $6.7 billion,” Premier Brad Wall said. “These results demonstrate the strength and resiliency of our economy and highlight the ability of our exporters to compete and succeed around the world.”

During the last decade, the value of Saskatchewan exports has nearly doubled from $16.4 billion.

In 2015, exports to the U.S. were down 22 per cent over the previous year, but shipments to China and India were up by 18 and 60 per cent respectively. In total, Saskatchewan exported goods to more than 150 countries in 2015.

“Our effort to support exporters as they develop new markets in the fastest growing countries is paying off,” Wall said. “We expect shipments to the Asia Pacific region will continue to grow. And a recent survey found that 74 per cent of Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership (STEP) members are forecasting an increase in exports in 2016. That’s reason for optimism at a time of economic uncertainty.”

Wall noted that this year marks the 20th year of operations for STEP, which has seen exports grow by more than 350 per cent since 1996.

First of all sincere sympathy to the family of the late Jean Dickson, we the folks in Kennedy were very pleased to have such a great woman living in our 6 unit for a short stay.

Theresa Istace of Weyburn spent the weekend with Ada Cancade and took in the funeral service for Jean Dickson.

Maree and Don Lawrence spent 5 days in Palm Springs visiting with Stewart Lawrence and Jeanette Poirier who are holidaying in Palm Desert. Maree was certainly taken with the beauty of the flowers and nice weather.

Margaret Debenham accompanied Larry and Jill Debenham and girls to the 4H district speeches in Moosomin on Sunday, March 13th.
