Canada Day celebrated loud and proud Kelly Running and Lynne Bell Observer Staff

Communities were out and about on Wednesday, July 1, to celebrate Canada Day together. Here are a few of the activities on to celebrate Canada’s Birthday.

Bear Claw Casino The Bear Claw Casino got off to an early start with Canada Day celebrations, as VIPs Bob and Ann Eberle of White Bear Lake Resort were treated to a hot-air balloon ride in the skies above Carlyle at 5 a.m. “We’re always happy to give our VIPs exceptional experiences like this one,” said marketing coordinator Peggy Slykhuis.

Casino staff also manned the Bear Claw float as part of White Bear Lake Resort’s Canada Day parade, throwing candy to delighted young onlookers.

Many of the same staff members returned to the casino to prepare and host an outdoor barbeque lunch attended by hundreds. The casino also offered tethered hot-air balloon rides to those in attendance.

From Page 1 - Canada Day celebrations THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: LIBRA, SCORPIO AND SAGITTARIUS.

Week of July 12 to 18, 2015 ARIES You have the great idea of spending your vacation at home. You’re sure to feel like redesigning the flowerbeds and the landscaping. This will take up your entire vacation.

TAURUS Don’t forget your list before going to the grocery store, or else you’ll have to go back for it. You initiate lots of conversations. Some people are very stubborn with you.

GEMINI You calculate and recalculate your vacation budget. However, as some details are always forgotten, be prepared to spend a bit extra rather than having to sacrifice some activities.

Two young girls were excited to celebrate Canada’s birthday in Kisbey.

CANCER Your sense of initiative is remarkable. You create opportunities and exploit them to their full potential, both at work and elsewhere. You’re overflowing with energy.

LEO You prepare your budget before going on vacation and tend to agonize over the cost of living. Where emotions are concerned, love always comes knocking when you least expect it.

VIRGO You feel extremely sociable. This is the time to relax a bit where work is concerned. Take longer lunch breaks in order to socialize more with your colleagues or employees.

LIBRA You may end up using your vacation to complete personal projects at home and professional ones for work. Don’t forget to get some rest as well.

SCORPIO The joys of life dominate your week, and there are lots of opportunities to party. You start choosing what you want to read during your next vacation. The choice won’t be easy.

Sasha West’s ‘Pawsitive’ Philanthropy

Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Ten-year-old Sasha West of Wawota has made just over $1,000 in contributions that will benefit both Cystic Fibrosis Canada and the Regina Humane Society, and she did it by making one dog bed and tug toy at a time.

Sasha, who was diagnosed with CF at 15 months, participated in the Great Strides Walk for CF in Regina for the first time in May. According to Cystic Fibrosis Canada (http://cysticfibrosis.ca): “It is estimated that one in every 3,600 children born in Canada has cystic fibrosis.”

The effects of CF vary from person to person and there is currently no cure. However, both research and advances in treating CF are ongoing and promising, which is where Sasha chooses to place much of her focus and her voluntary efforts.

As part of her pledging process for the CF Walk in Regina, Sasha decided to make and sell a few dog beds and puppy pull toys, using fleece fabric and pillows of all sizes. What started out as a simple request to family and friends, along with a Facebook page (‘Pawsitive Pet Shop’), became a deluge of orders that soon turned the West’s Wawota home into something resembling a minifactory, according to Sasha’s mom, Kyla.

“We have sold about 120 (dog beds),” adds Kyla. “We added the tug toys as a way to use the leftover material. It started with a few dog beds and between family, friends and the Facebook page we set up, it grew.”

“I’ve liked dogs since I was really little, so I thought it would be a good thing to do,” adds

Sasha West has made just over $1,000 in contributions to the Cystic Fibrosis Canada and the Regina Humane Society, one dog bed and tug toy at a time. The 10-year-old temporarily turned her family’s Wawota home into a mini-factory this winter, as she made over 100 dog beds and tug toys to sell for the two worthy causes. Sasha, who was diagnosed with CF at 15 months, is an avid athlete and took part in the 5 km Great Strides Walk for CF in Regina this past May for the first time. Sasha plans to continue to participate in the annual fundraising walk and says her creations also make comfy cushions for babies, older children and adults. To order one, or to arrange for custom orders, send a message via ‘Pawsitive Pet Shop’ on Facebook.

Ten-year-old Sasha West of Wawota has combined her love of athletics and her love for animals to make substantial donations to both Cystic Fibrosis Canada and the Regina Humane Society, one handcrafted dog bed at a time.

Sasha, who was diagnosed with CF at the age of 15 months, took part in Regina’s Great Strides Walk for CF in May. “Sasha doesn’t let anything stand in her way,” according to her grandmother, Wendy Greenbank. “We’re all so proud of her.” Sasha and a few of her creations are pictured here with the family’s puppy, Luna.

Sasha. “I’d like to be a dog groomer or a vet, something with animals.”

“We’ve had people from Wawota buy them,” says Kyla. “But we’ve also had people from throughout the area order them, too. People from Maryfield, Kenosee (Lake), Carlyle . . . and even from Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert.”

“It got to the point that both Rob (West, Sasha’s dad) and I were making stops wherever we could to buy more pillows and material. We stepped in to help and at one point, we had two extra tables set up in the house, tubs of fabric and about 30 pillows ready to go.”

During the three months of pillow production - Sasha started her project in February - the West family still maintained their busy schedule.

Although her eldest sister, Vanessa is a university student and lives away from home, Sasha, her brother Theoren (12), and her sister Logan (5) all attend school in Wawota. Sasha has played hockey since she was sixyears-old and currently plays goal for the Wawota Flyers’ Atom team.

“We were doing pretty good (this season),” she says of the team. “But one of our best players got a concussion.”

Also a gymnast, she competes as a rhythmic gymnast as part of the Rhythm Cats, in addition to participating in artistic, non-competitive gymnastics.

“I’ve been in gymnastics since I was four,” says Sasha. “Last year I just missed competing with the Rhythm Cats at the Saskatchewan Games, because of my age. But I’d like to compete in the Games someday.”

Sasha says joining over 300 fellow participants in the CF Walk in Regina was a family affair, and she intends to make it an annual tradition.

“Me, my brother, my younger sister, my mom and dad, my grandparents, my three cousins, my auntie and lots of my family went in for the walk together. There were a lot of people and it was pretty exciting.”

Sasha’s contribution to CF was over $1,000 and as an avowed animal lover, she also contributed over $200 to the Regina Humane Society.

“I really like the dogs there,” she says. “My dad’s cousin works there and we’ve been there a couple of times. I’m giving them some dog beds, too.”

Although Sasha is looking forward to summers-and swimming- at the family cabin in Moose Mountain Provincial Park, she says that pillow production won’t be entirely suspended.

“I want to do the (CF) walk again,” she says. “A lot of people have said these beds are good for their cats. And they are nice, comfy pillows for people, too. We can make them in almost any pattern you’d like.”

Grandmother Wendy Greenbank of Kenosee Lake says, “I’m always amazed by Sasha. There is no obstacle that has stopped her from reaching her goals. She gives everything 110 percent effort. We’re all so proud of her and we’ll all be with her next year.”

Quote of the Week . . .

“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” ― Dr. Seuss

Canadian youth failing at playing outside

Kelly Running Observer Staff

In a study conducted earlier this year a ParticipACTION Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth showed that Canadian youth are failing when it comes to playing outside. This year the health card saw two of the lowest grades ever in the years they have been conducting the study. A grade of D minus was given to Sedentary Behaviours as well as a D minus for Overall Physical Activity

amongst youth.

While looking into this further I found that only 70 percent of children between the ages of three and four get the recommended 180 minutes of daily activity. This becomes extremely concerning as guidelines change for youth aged five and up to 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity drops to 14 percent of kids reaching this amount between five and 11-year-olds, while it drops to an alarming 5 percent amongst youth ages 12-17.

This means that on average between youth of five-years-old to 17-years-old only nine percent are getting the hour of activity needed a day.

Other aspects looked at include Organized Sport and Physical Activity Participation which received a B minus grade. Sedentary Behaviours of having more than an hour of “screen time” per day led to a D minus grade with youth between three and 11 spending just over seven hours a day being sedentary, while youth between 12 and 17-years-old spend 9.3 hours being sedentary.

This means that kids are sitting more, playing video games, watching T.V., and are actually failing at getting outside and being active.

For some people in larger cities their views of children playing outside is that it is more dangerous than playing inside, but in reality there is nothing better for a kid than to be enjoying the outdoors and being active. Being limited to playing inside can actually hurt a child’s long-term health according the Dr. Mark Tremblay, chief scientific officer of the report and director of the Healthy Active Living and Obesity Research Group at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Essentially kids playing outside will, on occasion, scrape their knee but serious injuries are quite rare.

“Sanitizing and bubble wrapping the entire population to prevent what, in many cases is the unpreventable, is sacrificing the whole population,” Dr. Tremblay told The Star. “Mental and emotional health issues are on the rise like crazy now because kids have no ability to deal with things. We’ve never given them a chance.”

“We’re actually compromising healthy child development by hovering over them so much, keeping them sanitized and indoors, with the misguided belief that that’s the safest thing for them.”

So, it’s extremely important for kids to play, take risks, and develop instead of being wrapped in bubble wrap for fear of something happening to them. Yes, falling off your bike and scraping your knee hurts, I remember I lost control on the gravel and went down pretty hard. It hurt, I went inside with tears and got cleaned up, but I was encouraged to go play outside again. It didn’t stop me from riding my bike; it just meant I was more careful.

How thick is your skin It was one of those afternoons that was blissful in its simplicity. My husband and I were enjoying complete relaxation floating in inner tubes as we made our way down the resort’s lazy river. The gentle push of water meant we needed to do little more than lay back and float as the easy current carried us around the park every few minutes.

The palm trees lining either side of the ride provided scattered bits of shade and coolness without taking away from the beauty and warmth of the sun. And therein lay the problem. We weren’t standing in line for the watersides, exposed to the harsh rays of the sun. We were floating leisurely down the river under a canopy of palm trees…while our bottles of sunscreen sat ready for use back at our beach chairs.

Oh, we had diligently applied in the morning.

But after hours of sliding and time in the wave pool we had neglected to reapply. Our promises of “just one more time around the river” turned into way too many times around the river and when we emerged we took one look at each other and simply said, “oh oh.”

Our skin is the body’s largest organ with the average person encased by 1.5 to 2 square meters of it. Since it interacts with our environment it plays a key role in how we experience the world around us. Consider the feel of rain against our face, the intertwining of another’s hands with ours, or the warmth of a summer sun.

Our skin requires care and awareness. We may take for granted what it can and cannot bear and then find ourselves searching for solutions to the conditions we have exposed it to. Stand in the skin care aisle of a major drug or department store and you are greeted by a vast array of products designed to repair, revitalize and rejuvenate our skin. Exotic ingredients promise to slow the aging process or reverse the affects of damage. It is a multi-billion dollar industry that sees us slathering on lotions, creams, moisturizers, cosmetics and ointments to protect and beautify our outer covering.

But while we might become preoccupied with blemishes, dryness or signs of aging, our skin is taking care of its own set of responsibilities; sensation, heat regulation, protection, storage, excretion, absorption, storage and synthesis, and

the rate of evaporation. All of that without us thinking too much about it.

Skin has a remarkable capacity to heal. Rashes, scrapes, bites, and stings hurt in the moment but typically fade in a matter of hours or days as the skin demonstrates how it can repair itself quickly and often completely. Yet somehow we have taken the remarkable design of this Shelley Luedtke amazing 3 millimeter thick substance and turned it into something by which we judge, discriminate against and harm others.

Contained within the layers of our skin is pigmentation that causes its tone to vary. That’s all it is…pigmentation. The amount of melanin produced within the skin affects the variability in skin tone. Our aortas function in the same manner; our lungs, kidneys and corneas are of the same design. The way our bodies work internally is the same, and the manner in which it is all held together is the same--those two meters of skin.

Yet because of our differences in pigment we experience life in very different ways.

The horrific actions that have been undertaken throughout human history as a result of skin color are ones that demonstrate the worst of humanity.

But then thankfully the same gives rise to the best of humanity as people have sought to change things--to see each other not as products of pigmentation, but as citizens of the same human race.

A sunburn hurts. But it heals. What is truly painful is the bigotry that comes from those who see the pigment instead of the person. It’s what gives rise to hate crimes, genocide and enslavement.

I’ll show you my melanin infused hand if you show me yours. Let’s grab hold of those hands and interact in such a way that allows my epidermis to live in the same world as yours. Once we stop looking at the color of the intertwined fingers we will begin to see the human in humanity. That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

Canada Day - celebrate on July 1

Something to celebrate: Make Canada Day ‘July long’

Kelly Running

Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Observer Staff

This week Lynne and I are discussing long weekends and if holidays such as Canada Day should be held on July 1st despite it landing in the middle of the week or not.

Lynne has taken on the position of it always forming a long weekend, which I’m sure many people would like, however, this undermines the integrity of the day.

On July 1, 1867, the British North American Act, now known as the Constitution Act, united New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and the Province of Canada (presently the southern portions of Ontario and Quebec).

Originally known as Dominion Day, it was renamed under the Canada Act in 1982 as Canada Day. The day was encouraged to be celebrated, but wasn’t made into a statutory holiday until 1879. Initially the celebrations on Canada Day were small, but slowly grew. It wasn’t until 1917 that an official celebration was held and then none again for another decade celebrating the golden and diamond anniversaries of the Confederation.

In essence it is Canada’s birthday and as such is celebrated on the day of July 1. Quite often if it lands on a Saturday or Sunday then businesses will move to make Monday a holiday.

However, if landing on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday we miss out on having a long weekend.

This isn’t the reason for having the holiday though, it’s not about making sure we, in our generation of wants, get a three-day weekend. The day is about celebrating Canada and all that our nation stands for.

Having said this, a mid-week day off actually feels like a mini-Friday and it breaks up the week a little bit more, giving you two “Friday’s” in one week.

The mini-vacation feels like a free day off making the enjoyable activities on that day something to be looked forward to. It’s a fun, relaxing day which might actually work in a way to invigorate a new perspective to accomplish a task at work the following day.

It’s a day to rest and relax, to recharge before heading into the rest of the week.

Besides since when did we become obsessed with three-day weekends? Can we not just be happy with a day off? If we’re concerned these days with kids being entitled, is this not just another way that we’re perpetuating that entitlement?

I might be off base with having Canada Day off, however, because in any job that I’ve ever had it’s actually one of the busiest days of the year.

When I was in high school and university I worked at Clancy’s on the Beach as a short order cook. Clancy’s is at Lac Pelletier, which is a Regional Park near Swift Current. Whether middle of the week or on a weekend because of the activities out at the lake we were always busy either scooping ice cream or making meals.

This is my first and only job following university, and again Canada Day is a busy one. Lynne ended up in three communities and I took on another three communities, I’m sure there was more going on but we were spread thin.

So, even if it were a long weekend, I haven’t enjoyed it as one in a long time and I suspect there’s many people out there that this would ring true for as well. Anyone at a gas station, restaurant, the Moose Mountain Park interpreters, and numerous other businesses stay open for the holiday or have limited hours.

Regardless of statutory holiday status many people still work on the day meaning for a large part of the population it wouldn’t matter if the day landed in the middle of the week or on either a Monday or Friday extending the weekend.

As I write this, we are heading into a Canada Day which falls on a-wait for it-Wednesday. Instead of the prospect of a guaranteed July long weekend in this often frigid northern land; this year, some of us are treated to a statutory holiday which lands squarely on Hump Day. In lieu of giving longsuffering Canucks a shot at another long weekend during our all-too-short Canadian summers, Canada Day is seemingly set in stone for a July 1st observance.

I think it’s time to change that and annually celebrate Canada Day on the first Monday of July.

Before traditionalists reach for their smelling salts, a little research reveals that the day we call Canada Day has been tinkered with before, and none of the changes made in the past have ever threatened to shut down what is a nation-wide statutory holiday (as if!). Instead, whether anyone agreed or disagreed with modifications to what is now Canada Day, I believe that no one-then or now- would argue against another long weekend during our sweet-but short-summers.

Canada Day (Fete du Canada in Quebec) is our country’s national day and celebrates the anniversary of the enactment of the British North America Act, which took place on July 1, 1867. The BNA Act (today called the Constitution Act, 1867) united three colonies into a single country-Canada.

What we now call Canada Day, was once officially known as Dominion Day, because back then, Canada was still part of the British Empire.

In 1982, the Canada Act was passed and the holiday was renamed Canada Day, amid controversy that is too lengthy to recount here.

That first federal celebration was officially

Through the Lens

Editor’s Note

marked with the ringing of church bells at the Cathedral Church of St. James in Toronto. Throughout the rest of Canada, historical records show that that first celebration had a lot in common with how we celebrate today-with (in no particular order) fireworks, military displays, bonfires, entertainment and excursions. The next year, the Governor General, Viscount Monck, asked Canadians to celebrate the day via a royal proclamation. However, the holiday wasn’t actually established as a stat holiday until May, 1879. I could go on, Canada Day has a history that has evolved as unevenly, as messily, and as uniquely as the country itself.

Even today, Canada Day can be a cause of friction in Quebec, largely because it is a federal holiday.

The province’s June 24 National Holiday generally takes precedence over Canada Day in the hearts and minds of many Quebecers, and oddly enough, it also coincides with Quebec’s Moving Day, when many of the province’s apartment rental leases expire. But whether it’s viewed with resentment, indifference, or annoyance in La Belle Province, I’d be willing to bet that no one in Quebec would willingly give up a long weekend in summer.

There are a lot of things to celebrate on Canada Day and a lot of things with which Canadians will probably (forever!) disagree.

However, I think another long weekend to enjoy during the summer months is something that most of us would support without question. It’s time to tinker with our national day once more and turn Canada Day into ‘July long.’

Now that would really be something to celebrate.

There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.

Cardinals earn second at Big Moose The annual Big Moose tournament hosted by Carlyle and Kenosee was held on the weekend of July 3-5.

A total of fourteen teams came out for the competition which saw prize money won after each game.

Teams from Marysburg, Arm River, Rosetown, Carlyle, Carndu, Beulah, West Parkland, Kenosee, Oxbow, Weyburn, Saskatoon Stallions, Regina Angels, and the Saskatoon Outlaws competed in the action throughout the weekend.

Although the Kenosee Cubs didn’t make it past their second game, the Carlyle Cardinals made it into the final match against the Saskatoon Outlaws.

The tournament which featured five inning games saw crowds turn out

to enjoy the action.

With great baseball played throughout the weekend the crowds were impressed by the abilities of the senior men’s teams in the area.

The final game saw the Cardinals and Outlaws meet in a tough battle, which went quickly as the score was held to a low three runs to zero with the Outlaws earning first.

Aggressive base running, impressive pitching, and great fielding by both sides saw the close game enjoyed by the amassed crowd present to cheer on the home team.

Leading up to the final the Cardinals took on Carndu, then Beulah in the quarter final, followed by Arm River to make it to the final. The Outlaws’ route to the final went through

367 in Week 2, but it was disturbing that the Riders allowed Toronto quarterback Trevor Harris to mount a game-tying touchdown drive – starting from their own 25-yard line – with only 1:08 to go on Sunday afternoon.

A more aggressive defense was promised when long-time coordinator Richie Hall was shown the door last December. And yet this bunch has been anything but so far this summer.

However if you listen to the quotes coming out of the Roughrider locker room late Sunday afternoon, you’d swear the Riders Rider Insider had won the game.

By: Rod Pedersen “A lotta good signs in all three phases,” Riders head coach Corey Chamblin told our CKRM postgame show. “We gotta get Pack a lunch and buckle up. This is going to be points. We have to have points if we have 500 a long, bumpy ride. yards.”

However the only really Only four games in (two preseason, two regular glaring thing quarterback Kevin Glenn can be acseason), this team has yet to taste the sweet sencused of is the 100-yard pick six he threw to Tosation of victory.

DeSome must be thinking, ‘Are we a good team or fensive points against are tough to get over.” not?’

It’s equally tough for the offense to watch from There’s plenty of reason to panic, yet it’s also the sidelines as the other team marches the ball far too early to do so. The Roughriders may be win- all the way down the field to tie the score with the less going into Week 3 but division mates Edmongame on the line. ton and B.C. can say the same thing while Calgary We’ve seen this Roughriders team play in and Winnipeg are only a game ahead at 1-1. unison like a finely-tuned orchestra at times during The trouble is, the Riders don’t seem to be the golden era of 2007-2013. We’ve also seen them trending upwards in one key area: defense. scrap and fight like bar-room brawlers at times too.

They gave up a whopping 470 yards to the Blue One phase of the team covering for another on Bombers in Week 1 and may have trimmed that to

any given day to help secure the win.

Right now they’re not close to doing any of that, but it’s still extremely early and it’s clear Chamblin is doing his best to keep his troops upbeat. Now in his fourth season, his methods are very clear.

If this team was 2-0 at this time, he’d be “ripping them a new one” in order to keep them humble. “(Chamblin) just said he liked our intensity, he loved our effort and we’re that close,” rookie linebacker Jake Doughty said of his coach’s postgame locker room speech. “We’re a couple inches away and we’ll be a good football team.”

Sophomore returner/receiver Ryan Smith was singing from the same hymn book, stressing the positives. With 174 yards on eight catches and his second touchdown score of the season, he had reason to.

“Our heads are held high,” Smith said. “We came out there fighting and that’s all we can ask for.

We came up a little short today but next week we’ll be ready to go.”

That next week showdown is this Friday night against the 0-1 B.C. Lions in Vancouver in a game I’m dubbing the Bad Blood Bowl. Lions offensive coordinator George Cortez was fired by the Riders following the 2014 season and has had little to say about it since. Meanwhile the Riders’ 45-year old kicker Paul McCallum was turfed by B.C. coming out of training camp three weeks ago and he’ll be making his first return to B.C. Place.

Oh – I forgot to mention the Riders signed McCallum last Wednesday? At least the 23-year veteran was 4 for 4 against the Argos, allowing for some relief in the special teams area which ailed in Week 1.

So now in mid-July, we’re still trying to sort out what the 2015 Saskatchewan Roughriders are.

Manor Fun Daze coming soon Kelly Running Observer Staff

Excitement is coming back to Manor on Saturday, July 18, with the annual Manor Fun Daze which will see an 8 a.m. pancake breakfast begin the day followed by the annual parade at noon.

There is a slow pitch tournament being organized again this year with action taking place at the Fair Grounds throughout the day.

Also held during the day are kids games which are well enjoyed with numerous prizes to be won.

Rodeo excitement will begin at 2 p.m. with junior barrels being held, while a BBQ supper will take place at 4 p.m.

The action everyone is getting excited about, the Professional Bull Riding will be held at 6:30 p.m. and

will feature local home town rider Teagan Hodgson.

This excitement has been part of the Manor Fun Daze for over a decade and it is always a featured event in the area.

Following the action in the corral, Chris Henderson will be performing at the cabaret beginning at 9:30 p.m.

In years passed there have continually been approximately 25 riders visit the Manor Fair Grounds for the event, which is made possible through numerous sponsors and the dedication of many community volunteers ensuring the day is a success.

Spieth has sights set on golf history Rory McIlroy had already been fitted for Tiger’s crown. Woods wore it for 10 to 12 years, but his game today is an absolute mess and it was time for the title of World’s Best Golfer to be passed on.

But hold on, Rory.

Stop the ceremonial band. That oversized

By Bruce Penton foam ‘I’m No. 1’ you’re carrying should perhaps go back into the closet for now. Let’s just see how the rest of the summer plays out.

Because so far, it’s been the Jordan Spieth show and the 21-year-old Texan may be on the verge of

Built Ford Tough Round “Merit Ford”

making golf history.

McIlroy, the 25-year-old Northern Irishman, still is ranked No. 1 in the world, based on a convoluted system that awards points based on quality of tournament and strength of field. But Spieth is No. 2 — and closing fast.

For the first time since Woods accomplished it in 2002, a golfer will tee it up in the British Open with golf’s Grand Slam still alive. Spieth stunned the golfing world in April by winning the Masters and then was the last man standing at the U.S. Open, when Dustin Johnson losing by a single stroke — three-putting from 12 feet away — was almost more of a story than Spieth winning.

Still, winning the first two legs of the Grand Slam has been accomplished by only five other golfers — Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan (who did it twice), Arnold Palmer and Craig Wood. That’s

pretty impressive company.

Starting July 16, Spieth will be at St. Andrew’s in Scotland, the home of golf, to try to make it three consecutive majors and set the stage for a golfing buzz unheard of since Woods held all four Grand Slam titles — spread over two years — in 200001. The fourth major of the year, the PGA, will be held at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin and … well, there’s no use getting excited about the PGA until we see what happens in St. Andrew’s.

Spieth’s steady game is not as spectacular as McIlroy’s, who has higher highs and lower lows, and the Texan is two career majors behind the Irishman, but he’s four years younger, too. The jury is still out on which of the two Tiger heirs will emerge as the dominant player of their era, but it’s

Bear Claw balloon ride kicks off Canada Day for couple Lynne Bell Observer Staff

Bob and Ann Eberle got an early-and exciting-start to their Canada Day celebrations as they were whisked high in the sky for a hot-air balloon ride, courtesy of the Bear Claw Casino.

The couple took off from Carlyle’s airport at about 5 a.m. for a 45-minute ride, far above fields and near the Town of Carlyle. The airport location was chosen in favour of a departure from the casino, due to wind conditions and the comparatively open area surrounding the airport.

Slykhuis said the Eberles-both first-time balloon passengers-”Loved it. They both said they loved the balloon ride.”

“It looked like a lot of fun,” said Slykhuis, adding: “It’s a thrill for us, too. We’re always happy to arrange unique experiences like his one for our VIPs.”

Arcola Daycare July draw winners announced The winners of the July prizes for the Arcola Daycare’s Trip of the Month draw were announced July 2 at Buddy’s Pub in Arcola.

The winner of a $600 voucher to Moose Jaw’s Temple Garden Mineral Spa was Trent Lee of Carlyle.

The $120 monthly cash prize was awarded to Scott Bryce of Arcola, who donated his prize back to the daycare.

Draws are at 6 p.m. the first Thursday of each month at Buddy’s Pub. The next draw will take place on August 6.

Tornado hunter and television personality Greg Johnson had Carlyle in his storm chasing sights on Saturday, July 4. The storm chaser said, “We came to Carlyle because of the storm that was forecast for the area. There was a tornado warning and the actual wall cloud-which is a preview of a tornadowas directly on top of Carlyle. It could have touched down with tornado activity anytime. Luckily, it didn’t, but as it happened, there was a pretty intense storm, with some egg-sized hail and Manor got the best of that.”

A tanker truck carrying “very volatile” liquid condensate rolled over near Carlyle on Saturday, July 4.

Carlyle Fire and Rescue, EMS, and RCMP all attended. According to Carlyle Fire and Rescue Chief Trent Lee: “(Liquid condensate) is a by-product of the oil industry and it’s very volatile, worse than gasoline.”

Lee says the truck (from Goudy Transport in Stoughton) was fully-loaded, and as a precaution, traffic was rerouted for the remainder of the day. Lee – also president of the Saskatchewan Association of Fire Chiefs – says, “I urge the public to slow down to 60 km anytime they see flashing lights. Firefighters were rerouting traffic throughout the day and when something like this happens, we need drivers to pay attenion and slow down, so that no one is hurt.”

Moose Mountain Pro Rodeo gearing up for exciting action

The Moose Mountain Pro Rodeo will be held on the weekend of Saturday, July 18-19, in Kennedy, where the 83rd annual event will be held.

Two days of extreme excitement and action will be found with a parade beginning on the Saturday at 11 a.m.

The event dates back to 1934 with Rev. Bill Gourlay organizing a family outing on “Shackleton Flats.” Ever since the 1st annual rodeo was held the community has embraced the event.

A dual sanctioned event the rodeo which is part of the Professional Canadian Rodeo Association (PCRA) and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) will be hosted for points in both.

The rodeo will feature North American competitors in steer wrestling, team roping, bull riding, tie down roping, novice bareback, novice saddle bronc, novice steer wrestling, bareback, steer riding, ladies barrel racing, and saddle bronc throughout the two-days.

The annual event will see action begin on Saturday at 5 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. While the annual demolition derby and children’s activities will be enjoyed throughout both days as well, while a cowboy church service is hosted Sunday morning.

There will also be a dance held on Saturday at 8 p.m. at the rodeo grounds.

Last year the event saw perfect weather and an abundance of attendees all made possible by the dedicated local rodeo committee and numerous volunteers.

Community Initiatives Fund assists local endeavours Kelly Running Observer Staff

great fun to watch it play out.

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “The Boston Red Sox benched corpulent third baseman Pablo Sandoval for grabbing his smartphone midgame and hitting ‘like’ on a provocative photo a young woman sent to him on Instagram. Instead of getting mad, the team should’ve been grateful the picture he ‘liked’wasn’t a double cheeseburger.”

• Perry again: “NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr. finally popped the question to longtime girlfriend Amy Reimann. In keeping with the theme, they’ll be exchanging his and hers piston rings.”

Dave Lozo on Twitter: “If you’re worried about Phil Kessel’s long-term fitness, trading him to a city that puts french fries on salads probably isn’t best for him.”

• Dwight Perry again: “Three-fourths of American high-school students flunked geography on a recent standardized test, The Boston Globe reported. Considering the NFL thinks Dallas is in the East, Indianapolis is in the South and St. Louis is in the West — well, is it any wonder?”

• Late night TV host James Corden, on the sport of racewalking: “ ‘It’s a bad sign if you can’t distinguish between a sport and a group of people rushing to the bathroom.”

• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Kings centre Jarret Stoll pleaded a four-year felony possession charge down to two misdemeanours and 32 hours community service. The guy scored only six goals last season — how’d he stick-handle out of that one?”

• Brad Dickson again: “The Seattle Mariners re-assigned hitting coach Howard Johnson to the minor leagues. To ease the transition, that first night the minor league manager told Johnson the team hotel was named after him.”

• Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “The Tour De France is here and there are only three Americans entered in the race. That’s two more than there are American sports fans who care about the Tour De France.”

Fluctuating cattle prices

By Calvin Daniels It isn’t a secret in the agriculture industry that cattle prices have been at historic highs over the past couple of years.

One of the driving factors for the high prices has simply been a shortage of beef.

The North Ameri-

can cow herd has been squeezed ever smaller by previously softer prices and then drought across a large area of the southern United States.

The high prices for feeder cattle has kept pressure on the cow herd as many producers have found better profit

in selling replacement heifers to feedlots rather than retaining to grow their herds.

When you analyze the current situation it comes down to a market where weather has been the main determining factor. We may not immediately think about weather affecting

livestock markets as directly as it does grains, but the availability of feed for stock very much impacts the profitability of any stock sector.

And the weather pendulum swings dramatically and quickly.

It was only a year ago across large areas of Saskatchewan, and

Manitoba that a rain hit in the last days of June which caused significant flooding.

Roads, bridges, culverts were washed away in torrents of water.

Areas of communities such as Yorkton and Melville saw significant flooding of basements, such damage coming all

too close on the heels of flooding in 2010 from torrential rains then too.

From the perspective of 12-months ago the last thought on anyone’s mind was drought.

Crops were flooded out in places, and cattleman were working hard at keeping cattle on the move enough to keep ahead of generally lush pastures (at least where it was not drowned out in the low spots).

From the perspective of cattle producers, good prices and at least descent feed reserves made it a very good year.

Flash forward to now, and cattle producers are antsy.

There is a drought acres most of the Prairies.

There are reports coming out of Alberta of some producers already looking to sell-off cattle early as grass pastures are suffering without rain. There is of course some added incentive to sell-off at this point as cattle prices are still pretty good, so a forced sell will not hit the pocketbook as much as it could.

Granted there was some rain on July 4, but it will take a lot more than showers to kick start pasture growth, and to ensure a hay crop which can sustain cow herds through the winter ahead.

If the drought that trimmed the southern U.S. cow herd has indeed moved north now, what it will do is sustain the higher prices of the current cattle cycle for longer than may have been anticipated.

But the downside will be the fact Canadian producers may not be able to enjoy the high prices as much if they are forced into a sell-off because of a drought.

The situation may not yet be dire, but each day without significant rain draws the cattle sector closer to a very difficult year in terms of cattle feed. A year ago we lamented the rains, but now they are most certainly needed, just not to extremes.

*254<*7.3, +&72*78 ` Ag in Motion brings innovation to the field ALL FARMERS KNOW DECISIONS are made in the field. Imagine a place, an event, created to empower farmers by providing the information they need to make these important decisions.

A place where they can see the latest equipment in action, in the field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; operating in the same environment itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made for. A place where farmers can see multiple varieties of live crop plots growing side by side in the field.

This summer, such a place will exist.

Introducing Ag in Motion, Western Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest and only outdoor farm expo. Debuting July 21 to 23, on a half-section (320 acres) near Saskatoon, SK, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only show that provides an outdoor venue for progressive farmers in Western Canada that want to see and experience the latest agricultural innovation, all in one place. Ag in Motion will feature field equipment demonstrations, live crop plots and interactive exhibits such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;ride and drivesâ&#x20AC;? and smaller equipment demos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ag in Motion will offer farmers a unique opportunity to compare crop plots and machinery, in action, and ultimately help them make decisions about the best products for their operations,â&#x20AC;? says Show Director Rob Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nowhere else in Western Canada where farmers can actually see multiple pieces of farm equipment in operation, take a test drive, or compare different crop varieties all in one place.â&#x20AC;?

What does an outdoor show look like?

The Ag in Motion team brings together the expertise of seasoned farm show organizers.

The Expo is operated by Glacier FarmMedia, who owns Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outdoor Farm Show, the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest outdoor farm show held annually near Woodstock, Ontario. Also part of Glacier FarmMedia are Western Producer, Manitoba Co-operator, Grainews, Country Guide, Canadian Cattlemen, Alberta Farmer Express and AgDealer. The team knows whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involved in delivering an outdoor show, and the potential such a venue provides.

Now in its 22nd year, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outdoor Farm Show delivers 750 exhibitors and 42,000 visitors each year. Most attendees come to see the newest technologies in agriculture. Its success is based on the fact that active farmers attend to do business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; make decisions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the show is dedicated solely to agricultural products, equipment and services.

Ag in Motion is applying the same model and will become a must-see event by showcasing cutting-edge agricultural advancements that empower Canadian farmers to help meet their goals in producing high quality, safe food in a competitive marketplace.

To learn more about how an outdoor show looks and operates, view the videos on the Ag in Motion website, www.aginmotion.ca.

Live Demos and Interactive Exhibits The number of Ag in Motion exhibitors is growing steadily each week and includes seed and crop protection companies, field equipment and livestock handling manufacturers, financial services, nutrition, baling products, tires, fertilizers and much more.

DRILLING REPORT

Kenosee Lake

Submitted by Barbara Haddow Red Market Barn dancing YES! Right on a fine mix of grass and sand to the fabulous old tunes of “KO and Friends” dancers swirled practically kicking up dust! At least six couples were out and jigging around the picnic tables.

More were watching and listening to tunes of long ago- “Yellow Bird, In The Mood, and Sentimental Journey,” are just some that spring to mind in reverie the day after on a Monday News day!

There were people streaming in and out of the gate from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm and loads of plants, baking and other items “to numerous to mention” were taken to vehicles while more and never enough were bought. Something for everyone could be the theme and even visiting (the band plays about an hour and then stops for about an hour) can be done among new and old friends.

Dance July 1 was a full moon and Canada Day as well. The band Shepard and LeBlanc entertained the 38 dancers while firecrackers went off as they often do for July 1. Curiosity made some go out to watch the firecrackers but music drove most dancers back to the dance floor.

“The more something upsets you the more it is meant for you. When it no longer upsets you, it is no longer needed, because the lesson is complete.”

Statement by Bryant McGill on Facebook in “SPIRITUAL CONNECTIONS.” Check Facebook for where and when upcoming sessions are happening.

A little item that means a lot to me and maybe a few others – Rene Kenler was checking in a drawer in his house and he found an edition of one of the original, “Moose Mountain Vignette.” I feel it was like finding THE HOLY GRAIL! Good for Rene he delivered the OLD FEBRUARY, 1993 issue to my door. If you’re a wide awake scholar with some luck you may find the 22 year upgraded newsletter under a new name (or two – see below with the “aka”) around the area. It will probably now only be operated in the summer time when Kenosee Lake and White Bear Lake are more like Moose Jaw (population wise) area down here than in the winter when people are scarce as “chicken’s teeth!”

Now that Moose Mountain Vignette is MOOSE MOUNTAIN NEWSLETTER aka “THE RAG.” At present The Observer is doing the printing until Barb gets up to speed for that technical stuff!

Vern Cope Vern Cope died suddenly at home with his wife of 49 years, Kathy, by his side.

Vern’s joy of living and sense of humour will be missed by his brothers, Sam and Harry, his children, Paige, Kevin, and Bob, as well as the other members of his family and his friends. Vern was born in 1939. His parents, Fred and Mildred Cope, raised him in Carlyle, he went on to live in various Western cities and settled in Tsawwassen, B.C. for 40 years.

Vern was an entrepreneur, he worked in the sawmill industry, with a speciality in sales, and he had many other endeavours. Vern’s love of sports, laughter, friendship, and life inspired those that knew him and he will be missed by many. In lieu of flowers a donation to Delta Hospital, or a charity of your choice, would be appreciated.

gethers, gardening, music, traveling and the lake. Over the years , Alma ¿lled many positions in her community with curling clubs, of¿ciating swimming, Explorers, CGIT, UCWs and was a lifelong United Church Member. She was an avid Blue Jay and NHL fan. Mom is remembered for her quick smile and the spring in her step. A wonderful cook, Mom was in her element when feeding a crowd, going to great lengths to set a beautiful table. She doted on her grandchildren, and more recently, was re-energized by visits with her great-grandchildren.

Alma is survived by her ¿ve daughters: Heather Rintoul (Doug), Elizabeth Hillman(Larry), Marnie Boehmer (Philip), Joan McDonald and Sheri McLeod, eleven grandchildren: Ryan, Dustin, Derek, Brady, Brittany, Ashleigh, Brennan, Tanner, Brooklyn, Madison and Keenan, 3 beautiful great granddaughters: Camryn, Rilyn and Gemma, and three lively great grandsons: Boden, Sayer and Fletcher. Her precious Yorkie, Lulu, also provided hours of entertainment over the years. Alma is also survived by her brother Eddie (Audrey) and her sister-in-law Verna Brady, numerous nieces and nephews. Predeceased by husband Cameron in 2012, brother Ross Brady, sisters Olive McKillop and Bette Golden, Brothers-in-laws, Mel McKillop, Dudley Golden.

At mom’s request, a graveside service was held at Glen Morris Cemetery on the morning of Tuesday June 30. The air was ¿lled with fresh morning rain and the soft strings of a violin and guitar as a very personal service was led by Sandy Dalziel, and a eulogy read on behalf of her daughters. A Àower from each family member completed a vibrant spray while balloons released from her great grandchildren symbolized her favorite colors.

Thank You Heartfelt thanks to all those who brought food, cards, Àowers, and have offered support at this dif¿cult time. We were touched by the many friends and family who traveled a distance to honor our Mom. To Sandy Dalziel, for her personal touch at the service, and to Jim and Shirley Galloway for the musical interludes which our mom would have enjoyed- we thank you. Sincere appreciation to Moose Mountain Lodge, Arcola Hospital for mom’s care and Orsted’s Funeral Home. If friends so desire, donations may be made to Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge, Moose Mountain Rescue & Rehabilitation, or a charity of your choice.

Thank you again.

By Ken Rolheiser www.kenrolheiser.com Reflection Figurin’ out God ‘n death ‘n stuff Blue Jay’s relief pitcher Roberto Osuna strikes out the last batter, securing victory; doffs his cap, crosses himself and makes a gesture of gratitude to God before joining his jubilant team mates.

Osuna, like many sports greats, journeys in comfort with his God. The riddle of creation has been fascinating theologians and artists since cave wall drawings. Writers have created myths and elaborate allegories to imitate, if not explain, reality. Humankind has an insatiable drive to find answers, especially about our ultimate destiny.

In his book God and the Astronomers, Doctor Robert Jastrow says the scientist has lived by his faith in the power of reason. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.

Jastrow makes the point that what the theologians have known for centuries some scientists will never acknowledge. And that is their loss.

In the shadow of this cosmic struggle you and I must choose – will I journey through life with the comfort of Divine companionship, be that one of God’s angels or the ever present love of Jesus?

Or will I ignore the gentle nudges of the God that loves me?

Striking the pose of the thinker, pondering in the solitude of nature might be a good place to start. In Taylor Swift’s song “Mine”

she describes a time of searching for answers in the line, “We got nothing figured out.”

Another line reflects the process of discerning, “Do you remember we were sitting by the water?”

The seeds of truth can be seen in nature.

Sit in the beauty; soak in the smells and tastes of creation. Revel in the good things God has given us. In “The God of our Desires” Father Ron Rolheiser says, “…all that we find attractive, beautiful, irresistible, erotic, and pleasurable here on earth is found, even more fully, inside of its source, God.” He adds, “The beauties and pleasures of this life are a gift from God, meant to be enjoyed. But, by being aware of their source, we can also then be free enough to accept the very real limits that life puts on our desires. And, better still, we need not fear death since what we lose will be trumped onehundredfold by what we gain.”

Perhaps the biggest puzzle we have is the very existence of death and suffering. The Book of Wisdom tells us: “God didn’t make death.

God takes no delight in the ruin of anything that lives. God created everything so that it might exist. The creative forces at work in the cosmos are life-giving.

There is no destructive poison in them. The underworld doesn’t rule on earth.

“Doing what is right means living forever.

God created humans to live forever. He made them as a perfect representation of his own unique identity.

Death entered the

Easy & Accessible

universe only through the devil’s envy. Those who belong to the devil’s party experience death” (?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemasmicrosoftcom:office:smarttags” /1:13-15, 2:23-24).

It is a tall order to understand the Divine Plan that we as original sinners have messed up. That’s why God sent Jesus to explain things and to model how we should live our lives. We all have a shot at Eden.

We have a better chance if we choose the right travel companions.

Fires and bottomless wells

By Linda Wegner Vast tracts of Western Canada are engulfed in flames this morning.

Thousands of folks have been evacuated, houses have been destroyed and across three provinces the skies are filled with smoke and ash. As we left for church today I was reminded of the eruption of Mount St. Helen’s. We lived close enough to experience that “ash-snow” but this time it’s fire, multiple fires, in fact, that are burning far too close for comfort.

I can’t even imagine the emotions that flood the hearts and minds of those who have had to leave their homes to the fury of flames. Though I live mere minutes from the shores of the Pacific Ocean, the description “rain forest country” has become more a memory than a reality. The current situation has resulted in bans on all open fires and railings against those who carelessly discard cigarette butts.

In addition to the haze that turned

our moon blood red and painted our blue skies an eerie shade of brown, there’s more evidence of the seriousness of it all. Facebook is flooded with comments and photos and some neighbours are now abandoning their lawnmowers and erecting signs which read: Brown is the New Green. Lush manicured expanses surrounding homes and public buildings have temporarily lost their appeal because as much as I enjoy verdant lawns, I’d rather preserve our city’s water supply for my beans, tomatoes and onions.

There are days when my soul feels parched, too, scorched from the daily exposure of life. As a psalmist, one of the sons of Korah, once wrote, “As the hart pants and longs for the water brooks, so I pant and long for You, O God.” (Psalm 42:1) Thank God, there’s no bottom to the well of living water, no restrictions on how deeply we may drink to slake our thirst.
