Rough ‘N Ready Rodeo brings the action in Stoughton

The New Hope Horse Club in Stoughton has developed a fantastic draw to the community with the always entertaining Rough ‘N Ready Roughstock Rodeo. The event, held on Saturday, Sept. 5, entered into its fourth year, which expanded events this year and drew in help from other community organizations making it run smoothly. “Thank you for coming,” DeeAnna Lyke, one of the organizers, welcomed the crowd. “The New

Hope Horse Club is an intense group of volunteers who work [hard] all year. This is our fourth year for the rodeo. We’ve slowly grown over the years and have brought in other community groups to help us this year. The Stoughton Daycare has the food booth, the Demolition Club is working security, Heward Parks and Recreation have the kids’ booth, and the 4-H Club is holding a 50/50 and is oﬀering driver services after midnight as well.” Working together was the main goal for the event and bettering all groups in the community was important to those with New Hope Horse Club. The event saw a little bit of luck this year with rain, that had been coming down all day, stopping

just before the rodeo was to begin. “It was awesome,” Lyke told The Observer of the event. “We had a huge crowd and were able to go on even with the two and a half inches of rain, we were lucky beyond belief.” “The one good thing about the rain when hosting an event is that no one can farm, so they came out since they couldn’t be in the ﬁeld.” The event has seen livestock supplied by Prime Time Rodeos Ltd. of Kennedy each year, and once again the crowd wasn’t disappointed.

Moose Mountain Recoup and Release: Cheryl Winkler’s mission to rescue and release wildlife Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Cheryl Winkler has devoted much of her life to animal rescue. As a licensed wildlife rehabilitator and founder of Moose Mountain Recoup and Release (MMRR)-a non-profit facility and registered charity-Winkler says of her calling, “It’s innate.” “Sometimes I wish it wasn’t,” she laughs. “But it’s always been a part of me. When we moved here, my first rescue was a raccoon. When my mom worked at Moose Mountain Provincial Park, the conservation officer asked her if her daughter would raise three little raccoons.” “Since then, raccoons have had a hold on my heart for a long time and here we are today.” “Here” is Moose Mountain Recoup and Release, located on the border of Moose Mountain Provincial Park, near Kenosee’s Red Market Barn. The three-acre facility is also where Winkler’s home is located, as well as structures that house each species separately and well apart from each other’s temporary homes. “It’s 365 days a year,” says Winkler. “Our ultimate aim is to release healthy animals and birds back into the wild once they are able to survive in the wild again. That’s why we limit human interaction. It’s for the animals’ protection. I’m the person who does all of the feeding, for that reason.” Winkler says the number of animals and birds who are given refuge at the facility vary. “Right now, I’ve got three moose, one elk, three foxes, two coyotes, one fawn, 13 skunks, 21 raccoons, one Swainson’s hawk, one redtail hawk and one seagull. The number of animals vary and some stay a long time.” “We probably average about 100 animals a year,” adds Winkler. “Over winter, it’s usually the ungulates (all hooved animals) and raccoons. These are over-wintered because they spend their first winter with their mom(s).” “The smallest animal we’ve ever rescued was a mouse,” she says. “It was a call from a business. It didn’t even have its eyes open. They were moving some crates and they heard a high-pitched squeal. It was on its own. They went to the extent of calling the (Saskatchewan) Wildlife Hotline. They called us and said, ‘This is an unusual call, but it’s from your area, can you take it?’ If people are going to the

trouble of calling and then driving it to us from an hour away, how can we not take it?” “I syringe fed that little mouse and then released it in the spring.” “The largest animal we’ve rehabilitated and released is probably a moose,” says Winkler. “We’ve had them in before, but often they’re too badly injured...Last year, we had our first successful moose, who came into care three days old and when Mercy the moose was released this spring, he weighed over 1,000 pounds.” “Mercy was our first successful moose. My granddaughter named him, because for three days, a team of people up by Wapella were searching for this orphaned calf. She said, ‘Grandma, so many people showed so much mercy to this moose, that’s what we should call him.’” Mercy’s story inspired a line of fundraising products for MMRR-including coffee mugs, painted boxes and chocolate-covered almonds. “Moose Mountain Recoup and Release is a non-profit, registered charity,” says Winkler. “We give tax receipts for any donation over $20, and we also accept in-kind donations of all types: food, household items such as garbage bags, paper towels, laundry soap and bleach, lumber, newpapers.... There’s a whole wishlist on our website, www. moosemountainrnr.org.” “We also accept regular meat, game meat and produce. Sometimes people are just cleaning out their fridge or freezer and just drop stuff off that they don’t want anymore; but it’s still good for us to use.” Winkler says the expenses involved in rehabilitating wildlife are considerable and ongoing, which is why MMRR is planning its first-ever fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 24 at The Red Market Barn. “The average weekly costs for rehabilitating wildlife range from $10 a week for a duckling to $150 for a coyote and $200 for a moose,” says Winkler. “Each species has its own formula to drink, with different levels of fats and proteins, according to the animal. We order those from the States.” “Coyotes, for example, are huge meat-eaters,” she adds. “All of my meat and foods are as close to nature as possible. We feed them mice. We also feed them garden produce-apples, crabapples, zucchini, lettuce. It’s all part of getting them ready for release.” Winkler also readies wildlife for a return to their natural habitat by reinforcing the creatures’ natural instincts and survival skills. “Our volunteers come to clean and help with other chores,” she says. “I am the only one that feeds the animals. The fewer caregivers they have, the better. It’s about limiting their contact with humans as much as possible.” “Enrichment is important. We give them den boxes, places the animals can climb, a paddling pool where

Cheryl Winkler, founder of the nonprofit registered charity, Moose Mountain Recoup and Release (MMRR) has spent most of her life rescuing animals. As a certified wildlife rehabilitator, Winkler works to help heal injured and abandoned animals and birds, so they can be released back into the wild. Skittles the raccoon (pictured) is an exception, “Because he was born with physical challenges that would never allow him to survive in the wild,” she says.

they can catch minnows and crayﬁsh, all depending on the species, of course, so they can survive once they’re released back into the wild.” “That’s why we’re so excited for our fundraiser on Oct. 24. It’s called ‘Moose Mountain Gone Wild!’ and it’s really exciting to have Shirley and Jim Galloway of Oxbow on board.” “It’s at the Red Market Barn and only 200 tickets will be sold. Jimmy G and the Cable Guys will be playing the dance after the banquet downstairs in the barn and in the loft, there will be a silent auction. Tickets are $50 each and corporate tables of eight will receive a tax receipt.” “There’s already a Facebook page: Moose Mountain Gone Wild!” Along with her career as a wildlife rehabilitator, Winkler is also a gifted wildlife artist, and proceeds from her award-winning paintings-which are created on canvas, wood and feathers and jewelry, also support MMRR. “I am in the loft at the Red Barn, and I sell my work there,” says Winkler. “Moose Mountain Recoup and Release covers 200 miles in each direction,” she says. “To Yorkton, the Manitoba border, to the U.S. border and to Regina. So it’s a big area, and a lot of people have visited us at the Barn and checked out our website. One of our most unusual calls was also the rare occasion where we turned away an animal. It was a call about a baby moose, but the call came from Alaska,” she laughs. “That was a little too far away, even for us! But they found my website and I guess they liked what they saw.” Winkler says, “I’m all about co-existence. I grew up in this beautiful area and it’s still beautiful, but it’s changed a lot. There’s been incredible growth in the past 10 years and we need to make sure our wildlife continues to survive.” “All kinds of people call in about animals that need help. I’ve had guys from a rig bring in two pigeons, cottagers, people from all walks of life. We’re all in this together and I think people realize that.” “It’s a struggle sometimes and we welcome any help we can get. That’s why I’m so excited about our October fundraiser. But for me personally, holding the babies you can’t save as they take their last breath is heartbreaking.” “But when they latch on to that bottle and they decide to live, that’s my reward. To see them ﬂourish and return back to their natural home, that’s why I do what I do.” For more information, check out: www.moosemountainrnr.org or Moose Mountain Mountain R n R Wildlife Rehabilitation on Facebook.

Moose Mountain Recoup and Release is a non-profit registered charity. The government-licensed facility is situated on approximately three acres on the border of Moose Mountain Provincial Park, and is not open to the public. Human interaction is limited because the organization’s intent is to rehabilitate injured and orphaned wildlife for release back into their natural habitat(s). Here, founder Cheryl Winkler brings feed to the moose and elk pen.

White Bear Education Complex marked the return to the 2015-2016 school year with the school’s traditional flag-raising ceremony, Thursday, Sept. 3. Principal Sheri McArthur-Cappo says, “Every year, when we start the school year, we raise three flags. One is the White Bear First Nations flag, one is the Treaty Four flag and one is our White Bear Education Complex school flag. We raise them to start the school year in a good way and to commit to a safe, healthy and caring school year amongst all of us at White Bear.” Before the ceremony began, School Elder Josh Kakakeway used a mixture of sage, cedar, sweetgrass and tobacco in a purification ceremony before he said a prayer in Cree, encouraging the staff and students to “Either look up to the sky or bow your heads and pray in whatever language you like.” Kakakeway told non-Cree speakers: “I asked the Creator to watch over all of us here to have a prosperous year and I asked others who have worked here before to watch over us in a good way.” Drummers from White Bear-T.J., Brent and J.R. Played the Flag Song and the Victory Song. During the Victory Song, Kakakeway told staff and students, “We came come through a lot of trials. I encourage you-especially the young ones-to dance to the Victory Song.” This year’s flag-raisers were teacher Kevin Kermack and students Tommy Cappo and Tristan

Littlechief. “I was nervous, but it is an honour,” said Littlechief of her flag-raising duties. Student Andrew Kakakeway carried the Eagle Staff throughout the ceremony. Its four feathers represent the Assiniboine, Cree, Saulteaux and Sioux nations, all of which make up White Bear First Nations. This year there are 150 students from preKindergarten to grade 12 enrolled at WBEC, with one new teacher-Cheryl Peterson-joining the staff. Peterson, who is the grade nine home room teacher, says returning to White Bear is a homecomeing for her. “I’ve been a teacher for 15 years,” she says. “I came here from Red Earth, Saskatchewan, but I’ve taught in Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.” Although Peterson’s teaching career has taken her throughout the prairie provinces and in both urban and rural settings (including a stint in Calgary), she says, “Returning to White Bear is awesome. I’m so happy to be back in my home community and I’m really looking forward to this year.” The ceremony ended with staff and students shaking hands with the flag-raisers, Eagle Staff carrier, drummers and singers, elders and their school principal. “We’d like to welcome everyone back to our school-students and staff,” says McArthur-Cappo. “We’re looking forward to a good year at our school.”

Singleton is returning to teaching after some time oﬀ. “I’m a mom of four kids, so we were done making our family and they’re old enough they’re going to school,” she explained. “I grew up in Carlyle and my husband is from Kisbey, he went to school in Arcola, so I’m excited to be teaching here.” Singleton has the grade four class in the mornings and a grade four/ﬁve split in the afternoons. “It’s great being back in the classroom again teaching students,” she explained. “Everyone has been

Wardrope has been in the area for five years with three of them spent in Manor as principal and two in Redvers.

Quote of the Week . . . “Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones.”

- Phillip Brooks

A memory sparked

The other day I was sitting in the office, typing, when Cindy walked in with a short news submission from Ida Brownridge, who used to be a correspondent for the paper from Arcola for 15 years. Ida is now nearly 94, and included in her fun submission was that at 90-years-old she had Kelly Running gotten a tattoo courtesy of her Observer Staff grandson, Carroll Brownridge with Farmhand Tattoo in Arcola. The note made me smile and think of my own grandmother. Last year she passed away in November and thinking of her still brings tears to my eyes. I miss her a lot. It wasn’t that I called her on the phone often, but when I’m reminded of her now, I’m reminded that she’s gone. It’s not a bad thing, in fact a lot of times it reminds me of funny moments with her, which includes a conversation about tattoos, which Ida’s note reminded me of. Granny was 90 when she passed away, so just the right age for a tattoo it would seem by Ida’s fun little submission. I can’t remember how long ago now that we got onto the subject, but I do remember it was just her and I sitting and chatting. She spotted the one on my arm and proceeded to ask, “What is that?!” I explained it was a tattoo and that in fact I was thinking about getting another one, to which she scoffed and shook her head like I was crazy. I laughed and told her that I was pretty sure the majority of her grandchildren had at least one. She thought about that, “But why do you like them?” “Well, I really like how it’s an artistic expression of yourself and your life,” I said, then I let Granny have a closer look at my arm, which had three stalks of wheat tattooed onto it, the one that had caught her eye, oddly enough a piece Carroll did for me. She nodded along with explanations of my three tattoos before deciding, “You know what, if I were younger, I bet I would have one too.” Haha, Granny with a tattoo! Maybe Oma, but Granny? Nope, never! Being her favourite grandchild <-just checking if my sister and cousins read my column… I told her she could in fact get a tattoo of something that reminds her of me! I even said we could go together for matching ones if she wanted. But, this was to no avail; she just chuckled and said, “Ohh, Kelly; I’m too old for that.” The “Ohh, [insert name here]” was usually reserved for those pesky trouble makers like my dad or my sister, so I laughed that I had gotten an, “Ohh, Kelly;” I guess she decided I was turning into a trouble maker like those two. If only I would have known Ida had gotten one at 90, I could have told my Granny it wasn’t too late! So, I’m hoping Ida reads the newspaper each week, because I want to say, thank you. You helped to bring back the memory of that funny exchange between my grandma and me. I know you didn’t intend to bring me to tears when you wrote it, but it’s funny how memories can come flooding back, sparked by something to randomly come across my desk. Carroll’s working on a piece for me now, in memory of my grandma, so I guess it really is a small world for all of that to be related.

We have what they need Dear Americans, I have long admitted to my problem. I am way too invested in your political process. You are preparing for an election. So are we, and I am paying more attention to your presidential primary than I am the candidates running in our federal election here. We are currently experiencing a rather long campaign for Shelley Luedtke Canada. A full 78 days. For Canadians 78 days is an excessive amount of time to remain engaged in the process. For you 78 days isn’t even enough time to get all the potential candidates declaring their intention to run for the nomination. We do things diﬀerently to be sure, yet on election day we have the same task—indicate our choice for who will form government. We talk about many of the same issues: how to build a strong economy, standards in education, access to health care, current and future energy sources, government spending, immigration, crime, and foreign policy. Yes, much is the same including—regrettably-- the number of people who care enough to show up and vote. In the last federal election in Canada 61.1% of eligible voters cast a ballot. In 2012 57.5% of eligible Americans did so. Doesn’t seem right, does it. Forty out of every hundred people who could vote--chose not to. Four out of 10 didn’t bother to vote north…or south…of the border. Why not? We’ve all heard the justiﬁcation for not showing up. We’re disillusioned, my vote doesn’t matter anyway, all politicians are all the same, it’s just a waste of my time, they say one thing to get elected and then do something else entirely, nothing’s ever going to change… I heard an eligible voter state on a local radio show that he would not, by proud intent, be voting here on October 19 and then commented about his interest in your process because you put on “a better show.” Part of me wanted to scream – this is serious business. But the other part of me recognized Kelly Running Editor Reporter/Photographer

that perhaps this is exactly what those running for office need to do to capture our attention. Put on a better show. We have a lot going on around us so they need to compete for our interest and hold it long enough to get their points made. To be completely honest, that’s not an easy task. Our focus and concentration suggests we aren’t willing to listen to long speeches or read pages of policies. Many voters rely on soundbites for their information and this is where things get rather slippery. A short clip may capture the essence of what was said—or it may not. It is so brief it can easily be misleading or downright inaccurate. So just how brief is it? According to the Boston Globe the average soundbite in the 1968 presidential election was 43 seconds. Today? Just under 8 seconds. Why? Because the average human attention span is 8 seconds – remember the goldfish who bested us? So it is no wonder politicians need pithy slogans, public relations all-stars, experienced spin doctors and an all-out effort at branding their image. They don’t have much time until we simply stop listening. Ironic, isn’t it? These long campaigns—and so little time to get us to pay attention. Running a nation is important business. Whether we want to engage in the process or not is up to us, but make no mistake we are impacted by it. Still think your vote doesn’t matter? Tell that to the hundreds of individuals running, the legions of people working on those campaigns, and the dollars that are being spent to get your attention and secure your vote. No matter our annual salary, our level of education, the type of home we live in, the places we visit or the people we call friends, we all have the same power when we step into the voting booth. That’s why they need to hear from all ten of us—not just the six out of 10 that showed up last time. The excuses don’t cut it. Too much is at stake. See, that’s the thing. Candidates will do all they can to get my vote--and yours. They know how important it is. We’re holding exactly what they need. So the question we have to ask ourselves is --what are we going to do with it? That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

Give students credit when it comes to dress codes Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

With the school year underway across Canada, the age-old argument regarding the rules of student dress codes has predictably resurfaced-and fortunately, not locally-with a new twist. That is, do the intentions behind school dress codes insult both female and male students? I think they do. And while I’m not arguing for the abolition of dress codes, I think the rules need to be re-examined regarding the way they are created and enforced. The arguments against: spaghetti straps, midriff-baring tops, short-shorts and skirt lengths (complete with measurable guidelines) refer to female fashion. And depending on trends, male dress code restrictions usually address clothing choices that display signs of disrespect-such as offensive messages on T-shirts or wearing baseball caps while in class-rather than how revealing an item of clothing is (with the possible exception of low-hanging pants...). While dress codes are meant to keep visual distractions at bay-and to keep the focus on learningin schools, I would respectfully argue that they at worst, teach students very little, and at best, treat young adults like children, instead of allowing them to become thinking, independent adults. The rules for girls paint them only as possible distractions; while their male classmates are viewed as incapable of seeing their female counterparts as anything but objects. Ironically, the crackdown on female fashion isn’t strictly dependent on how much skin is showing. In the 1950s, the dress codes of many North American schools outlawed jeans for girls. Skirts were seen as more ladylike, even though they revealed more of a young woman’s leg than jeans. However, I’m not arguing in favour of a Miley Cyrus-inspired free-for-all in the closets and classrooms of our country’s high-schoolers. Courtesy, common sense and respect for oneself and others should certainly dictate a student’s choice of classroom attire, whether one is male or female. What I am saying is that having been fortunate enough to meet a lot of high school students via my job, I believe that most of them are more than capable of making appropriate choices regarding what they will wear and why they will wear it. To treat young women as nothing more than unthinking, unwitting distractions and young men as aggressors who see their female classmates only as objects is unfair to students of both genders. The underlying message seems to come from a place of fear and mistrust, and places students of both genders in narrow, limiting and frankly, insulting roles. Instead of sending such a negative message to these young adults, dress code rules and the reinforcement of these rules should give them credit for the character, intelligence and common sense that most of them possess. The majority of the students I’ve been fortunate enough to meet are people of character, compassion and intelligence. Like most of us, if they make a mistake, they will do their best to rectify it, learn from it, and move on. School dress codes should reflect this. However, don’t get me started on Miley Cyrus...

School dress codes a part of education Kelly Running Observer Staff

It’s a topic that’s been in the news a little bit lately. Should schools have dress codes and what should the rules be if a school does have a dress code? A popular idea going around from many female students lately, is that the school dress code is outdated and depicts girls as sexual objects that need to dress in a certain way so as not to distract boys. However, the other side of that coin, and the one I’m arguing in this column, is that dress codes at public schools, so no uniform, but rules on how to dress should remain. While researching this topic, the majority of rules at schools are the same: no bra straps showing, no shorts/dresses shorter than the ends of your fingertips if standing straight with your arms down, and to not show a lot of cleavage. Yes, girls should be able to dress how they like, however, school is a different atmosphere than just being at home or hanging out. School is much like a place of work for youth, and it’s a way to teach young people about business dress codes, which work much the same way. I actually remember coming to work, last year I think it was, dressed for Boogie Fest, so like a biker with a bandana on, I think my jeans were ripped, but when I walked in my boss looked at me like “Oh, heck no.” She didn’t have to say a word for me to know what she was thinking, so I just said, “It’s dress like a biker day for Boogie Fest.” She smiled and laughed, explaining she had forgotten what day it was. She liked that I had gotten into the spirit to cover the event, but had initially felt it was inappropriate dress for a regular day, which it would have been. School dress codes run the same way and are meant to teach youth that there are certain ways they will be expected to dress. I personally dress very casually to work, however, I’m not going to

wear a dress to take pictures at a rodeo on a long weekend. So dressing practically, in jeans (no holes) and that, is more appropriate. If I’m covering something a little dressier, I do dress appropriately. School dress codes should actually be expanded for this reason to include no sweat pants unless it’s part of your sports uniform, dressing like a team before heading to the big game or tournament, but it’s not everyday wear. While looking into the dress code as well, it doesn’t say girls have to dress a certain way it just says no shorts, shorter than this, no crop tops, etc… Which we automatically think is directed to girls. Yet, I found an argument from a guy online, that I also think makes sense. Paraphrasing him, he wrote that he had worn a crop top to school. Instantly he became the centre of attention and was a distraction to other students and to teachers. He was eventually told to either change or he would be sent home. So, the rules apply to guys as well, they’re not just “woe is me because I’m a girl” rules, they do apply to everyone, it just so happens most guys don’t wear clothing of that nature as a usual occurrence. The hat rule is one that typically applies to mostly guys. Someone explained that in a school they had been to, hats were allowed in the hallways, but not during class. In class you could write notes on the brim or fall asleep with your face covered, there are reasons for not wearing them in class. But they were allowed to wear them in the hallway, initially he couldn’t put his finger on why it looked “redneck” but came to realize it was because kids were wearing hats. Hats too aren’t acceptable everyday wear in most schools because school is a place of learning and the dress code includes learning how to dress appropriately once graduated and looking for a job.

Wrestling alive and well in Manor Kelly Running Observer Staff

Last month the Western Canada Summer Games were hosted in Wood Buffalo, AB, with local wrestler, Micheline Biermann (12), competing and Manor Mustangs wrestling coach, Monte McNaughton, as the Team Sask assistant coach. Biermann finished fourth in her weight category and she was part of the girls Team Sask wrestling who earned a bronze medal overall. “There were twenty wrestlers on the team; 10 boys and 10 girls,” McNaughton explained. “It was an honour to be picked as a coach and it was nice to have one of my athletes make the team as well.” “We had a couple of training camps during the summer, I went to Jamestown with the girls and the other coach went to Bismarck with the boys; so, when we got to Wood Buffalo that was how we split the coaching.” Biermann explained that she made the team through a series of tournaments. “Originally I was the only one in my weight category, so 43 kg, but when I went to weigh-in I was over by like 0.5 kg, so I had to compete in the 50 kg which was really tough,” she explained. “In the end I didn’t make the 50 kg, but there was no one in the 43 kg, so I had the option of making my weight and getting to go.” Although there was no one else in her age category at the lower weight, making it to the games was through grit and determination as she had to compete in the heavier weight first, then try to make the lower weight to compete at the games. “Weigh-ins are rough because you have to make that weight in the morning, so it’s tough,” Biermann said. “Like you don’t eat breakfast before you go to the weigh-in because that could make you weigh more that day and to compete you have to make your weight.” Biermann has been wrestling since moving to Manor after being encouraged by McNaughton in gym class to take it on. “My teacher got me into it,” she explained. “We would wrestle in class sometimes and he said I was pretty good at it, so I tried it out and I really liked it.” An active youth, Biermann loves to be involved in after school activities from golf to volleyball to track and field to badminton and more. Being involved in this higher level of competition, however, was very exciting for the young athlete. “It was amazing,” Biermann said. “They had opening ceremonies and they videotaped those; they were pretty extreme. There were dirt bikes, quads, fireworks, singers, and dancers. It was amazing.” “That was the highest level of competition I’ve really been at and wrestling there has given me more confidence and I’m going to use that high

level of competition to help me handle all levels. It helps you handle pressure.” Although the competition was tough, Biermann says that it was a great experience off the mats as well, “It was really friendly, it was just like being with your friends at home, but you were competing against each other too.” “The chance to be on the team was pretty awesome,” Biermann said. “Some people don’t get to have an experience like that and it was a lot of fun. It was mind blowing seeing it all, I was amazed. Getting the Team Sask stuff was really nice, getting to have and wear it. It’s exciting getting to represent the province.” During the team competition, Team Sask earned a bronze medal, which included Biermann’s efforts, which included a win over the competitor from Team Manitoba, Mikwan Dumas. The team competition had athletes compete against teams from other provinces or territories, beginning at the heaviest weight and ending at the lightest weight. Following the team competition, competitors in each age category were ranked with how they did for the individual competition. Biermann was ranked third going into the individual competition and had to take on the fourth place competitor for the bronze medal. Although this time the competitor from Manitoba earned the win, Biermann finished fourth after a tough battle. “The team competition is a cool, exciting way to do wrestling,” McNaughton said. “Everyone is out watching and cheering for each other in every match because it’s going towards a team total.” McNaughton is excited for the future of wrestling in the area. “Hopefully this experience motivates her in continuing wrestling,” he said. “This is a pretty big deal.” “Last year one of our top wrestling competitors, Tianna [Kennett], graduated, so I’m hopeful wrestling will remain strong here. And I am starting

What a nice change! Rider Insider How do you spell relief? W-I-N. Or perhaps, D-Y-C-E. Because you couldn’t have had one without the other. Let me explain. The Saskatchewan Roughriders were 0-9 in the first half of the 2015 CFL season which led to the dismissal of General Manager Brendan Taman and head coach Corey Chamblin last week. Their replacements - on an interim basis were former Roughrider player and Assistant GM Jeremy O’Day and Special Teams coordinator Bob Dyce, respectively. The new duo’s first game in charge of Canada’s Team would be Sunday’s Labour Day Classic XLIX at a sold-out Mosaic Stadium in Regina against the 3-6 Winnipeg Blue Bombers. A few years ago the Roughriders’ marketing campaign was “It’s Better In The Stands” which was an effort to get the Rider Nation off the couch and buying tickets for the games. Well, the slogan continued to ring true on Sunday as 33,427 fans packed the stadium despite a forecast of rain and it turned out to be a spectacular afternoon of Canadiana between two prairie football rivals. However, unfortunately, the game started out similarly to all the rest for the Green & White. The Blue Bombers jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter thanks in part to a muffed direct snap

to Saskatchewan running back Jerome Messam which the Bombers pounced on at the Rider 20yard line. Less than a minute later it was in their endzone. But no one – that I could hear – allowed themselves to think ‘Here we go again’. Then the game changed. Rookie Rider receiver/returner Nic Demski turned the game around with a 60-yard punt return touchdown midway through the second quarter which tied the game 10-10 and Saskatchewan never trailed the rest of the game on the way to a 37-19 victory. Paradyce!! Interim coach Dyce got the Gatorade shower from players Tim Agbaje and Alex Suber in the waning moments of the contest and the stadium erupted when the clock hit 0:00. Finally! “It felt good!” Dyce said afterwards about collecting the win in his CFL debut. “But it’s cold! And sticky.” If it’s true that Labour Day Weekend is the unofficial kickoff to the CFL season, then sign me up. They say that because the rest of Canada finally wakes up to the fact CFL football is on while the rest of us have known it since June. No matter. It’s a brand new season here in the Wheat Province and it’s nothing but blue skies ahead under Bob Dyce. The Riders were a different team on Sunday than they were under Corey Chamblin. Calm, resilient and composed. Make no mistake – this game was as much about Bob Dyce as it was about facing the Winnipeg Blue Bombers no matter how differently the Riders would like to frame it.

“Feels great,” the Riders’ Nic Demski gushed amidst the smoke of the postgame fireworks. “Bob’s such a great guy, such a great leader and we really feel a change. We’re excited to take the next step with him.” We learned it was as much about Dyce as anything because that’s what the players were talking about in the locker room afterwards. The reviews were universally positive. “Honestly Coach Dyce has been trying to hide it but he looked nervous all week,” admitted Messam after the game. “We’re happy to get the win for him. We all love him.” There were those who said Sunday, September 6, 2015 would be an historic day in Roughrider history. Would the franchise’s fortunes change on the shoulders of Dyce and O’Day or would they lose another game, fall to 0-10, and be at perhaps the lowest point in the franchise’s 105 years? Well they got that first win. That’s a start. And this tandem of O’Day and Dyce just feels right. At some point O’Day’s going to have the interim tag removed and Dyce was going to be one of the candidates for the head coaching job at the end of the season anyway. Now he’s got a headstart on the rest of the field and already looks like a star And, he remains humble. “I’m happy for the guys in that room,” Dyce said afterwards. “They went through nine hard weeks of great effort. For that to materialize into a victory, I’m ecstatic about it. I’m happy for Jeremy and I’m happy for (head scout) Craig (Smith). I’m just happy. It’s probably the first time where I’m happy for myself as well. But I’m happy.” What a nice change.

New Big 3 arrives on golf scene

Sports Wrap-up with Bruce Penton

Professional golf’s storied Big 3 dominated the game in the 1960s and the sport has been waiting for another similar trio of stars to take control of the pro golf scene ever since. After a couple of Big 1s (ﬁrst Greg Norman, then Tiger Woods), another Big 3 seems to be back on the PGA Tour’s fairways and greens. Fifty-some years ago, it was Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. Those three continue to take part in the game ceremonially, but on the course these days, it’s Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Jason Day. None of them are older than 27, which means the sport could have a decade or more of unmatched excitement. Until this year, it appeared as if Northern Ireland’s McIlroy was en route to becoming another Big 1. He won four majors in a hurry, but levelled oﬀ this year while the 21-year-old Texan, Spieth, took the 2015 spotlight by winning two majors and

scaling the World Golf Ranking mountain to its peak, dropping McIlroy back to No. 2. Suddenly, a late-summer surge by Australia’s Day made a contemporary Big 3 a reality. Day was one shot out of a playoff at the British Open, won the Canadian Open the following week, took the season’s last major, the PGA, and then lapped the field at the first Fed-Ex Cup playoff tournament, winning the Barclays by six strokes while McIlroy took the week off and Spieth missed the cut. Gary Van Sickle of SI.com, on the sport’s new big three: “We look forward to a back-and-forth horse race as Spieth, McIlroy and Day pass the No. 1 ranking around like a pitcher of Miller Lite after a softball game in Milwaukee.” While Day is currently ranked third in the world, he’s playing like the world’s best. “Ever since (the Open) I just felt a lot more calm on the golf course,” Day told the Global Golf Post. “I felt like it was my time. Mentally, I just felt like, You paid your dues. Now it’s time to go out and win tournaments.” McIlroy suffered an ankle injury in midsummer and was unable to make a dent in the Spieth-Day surge but a return to health in 2016 should officially kick off

the Spieth-McIlroy-Day extravaganza — another legitimate Big 3. Mike Bianchi of the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel, after the Steelers signed QB Michael Vick on National Dog Day: “The only thing that could have been worse is if the Vikings had welcomed Adrian Peterson back on Father’s Day.” Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “Having the great Al Michaels call a practice game is like having Harper Lee write the foreword to a ‘Where’s Waldo?’ book.” Blue Bomber broadcaster Bob Irving, on Twitter (@ BobIrvingCJOB ): “Under two years ago Taman and Chamblin were two of the sharpest minds in football — a couple of Durant and Glenn injuries later they’re dummies!” Corpulent Chiefs coach Andy Reid, to the Kansas City Star, on the euphoria he gets from dialing up a perfect play call: “That’s a pretty good feeling. That’s like a good cheeseburger.” Pat Dooley of the Gainesville (Fla.) Sun, proclaiming the Tennessee football team as ‘the Kardashians of the SEC’: “They look good, but they haven’t done anything.” Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg, after Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta ﬂummoxed the Dodgers: “Best no-

Finding a ring to throw his hat into shouldn’t be a problem.” From the BorowitzReport.com: “Federal judge admits having Brady on fantasy team.” RJ Currie of SportsDeke.com, on Canada’s worldchampion pole vaulter, Shawn Barber: “It’s easy to spot Barber: His pole has red and white stripes.” Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “American player Mardy Fish said the U.S. Open will be his last tournament before he retires, leading analysts to Google who the heck Fish is.” Jack Finarelli at sportscurmudgeon.com: “Army has a junior WR this year named Edgar Allan Poe. I wonder if he will get drafted by the Baltimore Ravens.” Another one from Perry: “Alabama-Birmingham reinstated its football program for play in 2016 — just six months after announcing it was scrapping it. If anyone has any sense of fortuitous timing, the season opener’s very ﬁrst play call will be a reverse.”

Greg Cote again: “Floyd Mayweather Jr. announced his final fight before retiring would be Sept. 12, with no date set yet for his final fight after that one.” Brad Dickson of the Omaha WorldHerald: “A judge overturned Tom

Brady’s suspension. I’m just happy to see a handsome multimillionaire with four Super Bowl rings who’s married to a supermodel ﬁnally catch a break in life.” Care to comment? Email brucepenton2003@ yahoo.ca

Visitors relay compliments of town to councillors Kelly Running Observer Staff

A variety of topics were covered on Wednesday, Sept. 2, by Carlyle’s town council including an aspect of paying taxes and the new subdivision. Taxes It was brought to

council’s attention that certain payments to the town for taxes, if paid at the bank or online, would not process right away. The town would get a notiﬁcation that the amount had been paid, but do not receive the amount for up to 30 days later. So, if an individual

paid in June and their payment didn’t go through until later, the July rate would be applied. However, the individual paying thought that they were getting the June rate.

From Page 13 - Town council This was an oversight and was corrected. The rate will be at the amount on the day of the notification by the banking institute and will be held as an outstanding debit until the transaction amount actually goes through. New Subdivision Discussion arose surrounding the new subdivision and if there should be housing stipulations on the lots to make the area uniform. Councillors were asked to think about this matter, whether it be a minimum square footage or a minimum frontage sized according to the lot. Street lighting was approved by SaskPower for the area. Concern from a home owner Near the Access building south of the rink there was blue sewer pipes stuck in the ground as a type of marker for snowmobilers and quaders to slow down and be careful through this area. The posts were removed to more easily cut grass in the area. The homeowner would like something put up to slow people down again because of concerns that a vehicle could go through the side of the house with how it is situated. The town is putting trees up in the area already, so are going to see if the homeowner would be happy with a few strategically placed trees with reflective tape on them. Homespun During Homespun a limousine golf cart requested permission to be on the road following a specific route between the quilt show on Main Street and the rink on Saturday, Sept 19, from noon to 5 p.m. This was approved, but a caveat was created saying they didn’t want the golf cart to travel on Main Street but to go through the back alley instead. Concerns arose regarding it stopping on Main Street during a busy day in town. Rubber matting This year’s project regarding the town’s planned walking paths was to put rubber matting out through Centennial Park. It has not yet been done, so is planned to be completed before winter arrives.

General comments Town councillors reported that they had numerous compliments on the town including Main Street and what the new subdivision looks like.

A very special anniversary: Devan Brisebois celebrates 20 years of living cancer-free Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Devan Brisebois of Carlyle’s Affinity Credit Union marked a very special anniversary by making an offer that credit union co-workers, members and often, complete strangers couldn’t refuse. “I offered to shave my head if we reached $1,500 in donations to the Terry Fox Foundation,” says the manager of Affinity’s Carlyle branch, husband, and father-of-three. “When I was 17, I was diagnosed with leukemia and I’m 20 years cancer-free this year. I thought this would be a great way to raise a little awareness, raise funds and have a laugh or two.” “We only had six days to fundraise, but people blew it out of the water. During that time, we raised just over $3,000., so we doubled it.” Although Brisebois told his wife, Leta about his plan, his children, Gabrielle, 10, Benjamin, 8 and Adam, 4, as well other family members and friends won’t know about his altered appearance until after the deed is done. “They’ll be surprised, for sure,” says Brisebois. “My mom is planning a party for our extended family in Regina to celebrate me reaching twenty years cancer-free.” Brisebois says his children know the story of his past illness and the family has been involved with the Terry Fox Run everywhere they’ve lived. “This was an easy decision for me to make,” says Brisebois. “I looked like this 20 years ago

NATIONAL TRUCKING WEEK

National Trucking Week 2015 September 6 - 12 The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA), the country’s national trucking group, in conjunction with the provincial trucking associations, launched National Trucking Week many years ago. It begins on the ﬁrst Sunday in Sept. and runs to the following Saturday. The purpose of the weeklong celebration is to recognize the important contributions made by the 400,000 Canadian men and women who keep the country’s freight moving. Provincial trucking associations, carriers, industry suppliers and other stakeholders are encouraged to undertake activities in their own province to mark the event. In previous years, provincial associations have marked the occasion with newspaper supplements, radio advertising, contests, special promotions, and special events at truck stops and roadside inspection stations. Carriers and industry suppliers have hosted BBQs, breakfasts, truck washes, oﬀered special giveaways to employees and marked the week event with a wide variety of activities. www.cantruck.ca

NATIONAL TRUCKING WEEK

Sharing the road

(Information from Bison Transport and SGI) Driving a vehicle takes concentration and awareness in general. Sharing the road safely with other vehicles is an essential part of being behind the wheel, which is especially important when sharing the road with large trucks. It’s important when on the road to be aware of how a large truck operates. From the ‘No Zone’ to how trucks need to turn to make a corner, there are ways to help you and drivers of big rigs stay safe. The ‘No Zone’ includes the area of a truck driver’s blind spots, which are immediately in front of and behind the vehicle as well areas near the cab of the truck to the sides. (See SGI picture on this page) If in these zones, move through them quickly. If travelling behind a semi truck, the suggested minimum following distance is four seconds. As a general rule when following behind a

truck, if you can’t see their side mirrors, they can’t see you. Whether passing, merging, or using an oﬀ ramp, use caution. Before pulling in front of a semi tractor unit, you should be able to see the truck’s headlights and both front tires in your rear view mirror. A semi, because it is heavier, takes longer to stop than a small car, so cutting them oﬀ can result in a possible collision. Additionally, when merging, a large truck may not be able to move over for you because there may be a vehicle in the lane beside the truck, hidden from your view. How trucks turn corners is another important piece of information to know. If the truck is turning left or right, watch, and never try to squeeze by as the truck may be unable to make a turn if your vehicle has crept up beside it. Trucks may need to use an “S” turn, which

Friday, September 11, 2015

means they utilize both the regular lane and turning lane. Vehicles travelling behind trucks often creep into the far right of the lane creating a hazard for the truck attempting to make its turn. (See SGI photo) Additionally, when a truck is turning left, it may need to do an “S” turn to avoid coming into oncoming traﬃc, this is why it’s essential for vehicles to stay behind stop lines. This is also the reason why drivers come across areas, marked as a box with a cross, at stop signs the length of a vehicle. This is to give semi drivers the ability to make turns without having to worry on narrow corners about crossing the centre line of the perpendicular road while turning.

See Sharing the road on page 19

Avoid a semi’s ‘No Zone’ – the blind spots around a big rig where collisions are likely to occur – and remember if travelling behind a semi, if you can’t see their side mirrors they can’t see you.

NATIONAL TRUCKING WEEK Finally, there is a zone during wet and snowy conditions, which becomes dangerous for other vehicles when passing large trucks. The spray or splash zone can hinder another driver’s visibility to the point of not

From Page 18 - Sharing the road

SGI says, “Everyone knows you turn left from the left lane and right from the right lane. But did you know trucks can’t physically do that at some intersections? They may have to use more than one lane to make that turn and as a fellow road user, you should show patience and give them the space to do that.”

Semi trucks may need to use an “S” turn to make a right hand turn or even a sharp left hand turn. Pay attention and be patient, don’t attempt to sneak into a zone beside a truck where the trailer may need to travel through.

Carlyle Lions pay tribute to Lion Gord Savill with new gazebo

Arcola Daycare sends ‘Trip of the Month’ winner to Turks & Caicos

Staff photo by Lynne Bell

The Carlyle and District Lions club is paying tribute to long-term Lion and friend, Gord Savill, who passed away in December 2014. “In conjunction with the Savill family, we decided to erect a gazebo in Lions Pride Estates,” says Lions member Gord Paulley. “About 14 people-Gord’s fellow Lions and other friends made it happen.... We’re very happy that it’s done and everyone at Lions Pride is already using it.” Pictured are: (l-r) George Anderson, Alice Savill, Pat Anderson, Gord Paulley, Jack Tester, Kent Holland and Rene Kenler.

Observer Staff

The Carlyle and District Lions Club in conjunction with the family of the late Gord Savill are paying tribute to him with the addition of a new gazebo at Carlyle’s Lions Pride Estates. Lions member Gord Paulley says, “Gord Savill passed away in

December 2014. The Lions Club had always thought of putting up a gazebo at Lions Pride. Not only was Gord a great person, he also was a Lion for over 50 years. He deserved a gazebo.” “In conjunction with the Savill family, we decided to erect a gazebo in Lions Pride Estates. “About 14 people-Gord’s fellow

Lions and other friends made it happen. One week, we got the cement pad poured and the week after, we got the gazebo up and the Savill family will be adding a plaque at a later date.” “We’re very happy that it’s done,” adds Paulley. “It looks great and everyone at Lions Pride is already using it and enjoying it.” “It’s a ﬁtting tribute to Gord Savill.”

Draws for Arcola Daycare’s ‘Trip of the Month’ lottery are held the first Thursday of each month at Arcola’s Buddy’s Pub at 6 p.m. Next month’s draw is Thursday, Oct. 1 for a Disney Cruise to the Bahamas. Here, (l-r) Jenessa Wilson, Karen Starkell and Kayla Brett make the draw for September’s prize-a trip to Turks and Caicos. The Arcola Daycare is two-thirds of the way through its 2015 ‘Trip of the Month’ lottery, and tickets sales are already underway for the 2016 edition of the popular draw. Lisa Pittman of Arcola is the winner of September’s prize-a

tropical trip to Turks and Caicos which includes airfare and accommodation at the all-inclusive Beaches Resort for two adults and two children. This trip is valued at $8,400. The winner of the monthly cash prize is Jim Johnston of Kisbey.

Tickets for the 2016 ‘Trip of the Month’ lottery are available from any daycare board member. Only 500 tickets will be sold and each month, ticketholders have the opportunity to win a trip as well as a $120 cash prize.

The Alida community extends their sincerest sympathy to Jon and Christie (Henderson) Parker and family on the death of their 9 year old son, Ty on August 31, 2015 at the Stollery Children’s Hospital, Edmonton. The Parker family lived in the Alida area for eight years (2001-2009) before they moved to the Glen Ewen district. Funeral service was held at Carnduﬀ Education Complex on September 7 with internment at Meridian Cemetery (south of Glen Ewen). Condolences are also extended to all members of the Henderson and Parker families. Shelly Cowan and daughter Ainsley travelled to Minot on September 3 where they visited with the Nilsen family. On Friday, September 4 they accompanied the Nilsen’s to Sioux Falls, SD where they all attended a wedding for Shelly’s cousin on Saturday, September 5. Shelly and Ainsley returned home on Monday. Visitors with Denis and Annette Boutin this summer were son, Daniel (Sylvan Lake, AB) who was here to help with the harvest for 2 weeks in August and then for a few days in September was daughter, Chantelle, husband Craig Faas and children Audrey and Isaac (Calgary). Gray, Edel Cowan and John Cowan visited with Joyce and Jackie George in Redvers on September 3 to get reacquainted with their other cousins Kay Robertson (Battleford, SK) and Linda Jakubcak (Warkworth, ON), who are here for few days

visiting with the relatives. On Saturday, September 5 John Cowan left for his home in Hillcrest Mines, AB after spending a couple of weeks helping with the Cowan family with this year’s harvest. Word was received of the funeral of Gwen Widdifield in Weyburn. Gwen taught school in Alida in 1957 and later met her future husband Don, whom she married in 1958. They lived in Alida until 1964 when they moved to the Widdifield farm near Creelman. Don had passed away in 2012. RAIN --- just what one did not want at this time of the year! We received around 4 inches from the rain that fell on Friday and Saturday. Now we will surely need sun shine and wind for a while now and then maybe one should be able to head back out into the fields with hopes of finally getting the harvest competed. Good luck farmers. YEAH – the Riders DID IT – they finally won a game and it was a good one to win – the Labor Day Classic – way to GO! Now let’s do it again on Saturday, September 12 in Winnipeg at the Banjo Bowl – GO RIDERS GO! I’d like to take the opportunity now to acknowledge the person who so kindly removed my towels from the laundromat dryer, folding them neatly and left them stacked on the table just waiting for me to return to pick them up (once I realized that I’d forgotten them) – much appreciated. Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and take care.

Souris-Moose Mountain candidates Kelly Running Observer Staff

This year Canadians will head to the polls on Monday, Oct. 19, to elect members to the House of Commons of the 42nd Parliament of Canada. There are a total of 338 federal electoral districts, or ridings, across Canada. Within Saskatchewan are 14 of these seats, which are based on population densities. Locally, Carlyle and area is found within the Souris-Moose Mountain riding, which covers the majority of southeastern Saskatchewan. Recently announced in the riding were (in alphabetical order) Steven Bebbington with the Liberals, Bob Deptuck with the Green Party, Dr. Robert Kitchen with the Progressive Conservatives (PC), and Vicky O’Dell with the New Democratic Party (NDP). Steven Bebbington Bebbington, the Liberal candidate, is from Earl Grey, which is a village north of Regina. Although this is outside of the Souris-Moose Mountain boundaries, he is determined to encourage younger voters to get out and vote, having just turned 26-years-old on Aug. 22. He has been an employee for the past eight years with the Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region and because of this he is enthusiastic about healthcare as a priority in his campaign. Other concerns he’s heard and hopes to address relate to agriculture, wildlife, and the maintenance of highways in the southeast. Bob Deptuck Deptuck (Green Party) is this year’s candidate for the Souris-Moose Mountain riding. Originally from Saskatoon, he has settled in Rocanville where he has lived for nearly a decade. An employee with Potash Corp. he has spent No need to scream to be heard!

much of his life learning about the environment and has led him to the Green Party. Focuses for Deptuck revolve around reform to the running of government and the economy, while centring on the over importance of the health of the environment. His riding, Souris- Moose Mountain is heavily dependent on resource extraction. Though these jobs are essential, ways to make the extraction of resources more environmentally friendly is a necessity according to the Green Party. Robert Kitchen Kitchen (PC) is a chiropractor from Estevan who has, since an early age, found his political beliefs aligned with the Conservative party. The Souris-Moose Mountain riding has been Conservative for a number of years with MP Ed Komarnicki having held oﬃce since 2004. In early 2013, Komarnicki announced he would not be running again. Prior to this a member of the PC party has held the riding since 1979, although between 1993 and 1997 a Liberal MP Bernie Collins held oﬃce. Kitchen is dedicated to continuing the leadership of the Conservatives in the riding and hopes to continue this legacy. Healthcare is one of the major issues he is focusing on and although healthcare is largely a provincial matter, there are federal healthcare levels as well, which includes seniors in general and dementia. Additionally he is focused on the Canada Pension Plan, housing, and helping families cope with senior care. Vicky O’Dell O’Dell is a Weyburn resident and is this year’s NDP candidate in the Souris-Moose Mountain riding. As a healthcare worker she sees the need for change from a Conservative government. While researching parties she found that her beliefs were in line with the NDP which includes restoring funding to CBC, restoring a $36 billion to federal healthcare funding to provinces, and creating a national The Observer can child care system. Go vote now offer you This year’s election extended reach will be held on Monday, Oct. 19. Regardless of into Southeast your political leanings, Saskatchewan democracy is to represent the people and West Central and it best does that Manitoba through when voters take to the polls.
