Repurposing waste in the oilfield Kelly Running Observer Staff

Tundra Oil and Gas based in Manitoba have partnered with Manitoba Hydro under the Manitoba Hydro Power Smart Load Displacement Program to make their battery sites more efficient. Currently buildings are being constructed offsite, one of these locations being in Carlyle. These buildings will house a special purpose Capstone microturbine, which will convert solution gas into electricity. “We will be taking the gas that comes with production, of different qualities, and create our own electricity from this otherwise waste product which is usually flared or vented,” Ken Neufeld, President and CEO of Tundra Oil and Gas, explained. “It’s a capital investment, but it’s

the right thing to do.” At each of Tundra’s ﬁve collection facilities in Southwestern Manitoba, housed in the buildings currently being constructed in Carlyle, there will be between 800 and 1,000 kilowatts of generation capacity. The electricity will be used at each of collection facilities, while any excess electricity is going to be used to oﬀset Tundra’s load at nearby well sites as well. The project began in 2014 as a pilot project trial, with successes had early inspiring the company and its parent company, James Richardson & Sons Ltd., to actively pursue the project further. “It’s a great initiative,” Neufeld said. “It takes waste product and puts it to use again.”

Stoughton native and Canada Media head Valerie Creighton receives Saskatchwan Order of Merit Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

During a career spanning just over three decades, garnering her numerous awards and accolades, Valerie Creighton says receiving her home province’s highest honour-the Saskatchewan Order of Merit- “Topped the charts. First of all, it’s the province’s highest honour-and none of us get to the Saskatchewan Order of Merit on our own. I really believe that the people in our lives are big contributors to all we do. And the award is due in no small part to the people who have contributed to my life, professionally and personally.” As one of Canada’s cultural leaders, Creighton’s career has culminated in her current position as president and CEO of the Canada Media Fund. The Stoughton native oversees a program that contributes nearly half a billion dollars to the development, financing and promotion of Canadian television and digital media content. As a result, over $1.2 billion in production has been created annually during the past five years, and 250,000 creative jobs in Canada have been fostered under her leadership. “I’m extraordinarily fortunate to have a foot in each world,” says Creighton-who resides at her property, The Red Horse Ranch near Stoughton, when she’s not on the road promoting and selling Canadian television and digital media content. “I spend about a third of my life on the road. I have a portable office and I take it with me everywhere. And I get to come home to this extraordinary province with land I’m so grateful to stand on.” “I’m aware that I’m in a very privileged position, but travel is getting harder and harder,” she adds. “I get to travel to all kinds of wonderful places, but it is really hard work, too. We’re all challenged by time and distance in this digitally-driven world, where we’re accessible via email 24/7. We’re all connected and it’s an addictive system online. You’re always connected, but there’s the potential to never really get mental relief from that.” “For me, coming home to Saskatchewan and to the ranch-the quiet, the magic, and the horsesallows me to erase whatever it was I thought was so important at the time and occupied my thought and energy. There, I can get down to what really matters and I can really focus on what’s important.” The citation introducing her as a member of the Saskatchewan Order of Merit states: “(Valerie Creighton) is a tireless advocate for the arts in Saskatchewan, and in Canada. Described as a wellrespected leader and visionary, she has played a special role in the growth, success and well-being of

The View from the desk of Marga Cugnet, CEO, Sun Country Health Region

Avoid a bigger problem in the future

Here we are in the best month of the year: sunshine, heat, enough rain to make it green, early owers and bulbs blooming. The trees have shiny green leaves. The highways are clear for driving. Coats and boots are stuffed into the closet again. It’s too early for West Nile virus and too late for snow. And what do we get? Tent caterpillars! Many communities in the Region are besieged by the long, brown and yellow worms. They are hanging from the trees and swarming the sidewalks. People are turning to all kinds of natural remedies to avoid using the chemicals that may kill the birds and bees and will create an even bigger problem for us all in the future. And if we don’t carry out the horrible task of removing the tents and scraping away the eggs this summer, the caterpillars may be back next year. This year’s annoyance could turn into a bigger problem next year unless we use the best harmreduction, preventive measures we have available. The situation will sound familiar to everyone who works in health care. Harm reduction, prevention, those are all bywords in health care. But six months into the year, who even remembers those New Year’s resolutions from the bleak early days of January? The reality is that if you don’t start looking after your body at a young age, you’ll end up with a big problem as you grow older. All health care ofcials will tell you that the right preventive care at every stage of life will help to keep you healthier, avoid or delay the onset of disease; keep diseases you already have from becoming worse, improve your quality of life and reduce health care costs. Eating healthy; exercising regularly; avoiding tobacco and illegal drugs; moderating the use of alcohol; getting an annual u shot and other prescribed vaccinations; regular physicals when required; counseling, screening, wellness visits, prenatal care; treating depression; all these will help keep you healthier than you might otherwise be. Health Canada tells us the key inuences in many illnesses are smoking, obesity, physical activity, having a regular medical doctor and patient satisfaction with the health care system. Most of those are within our control and impact many diseases and conditions. Think also, about the recent study that showed smiling at least three times a day can keep you healthier. I share that with our new staff members. So - while you are watching those caterpillars eat through your trees - think of the preventive health measures you should be introducing into your life.

an instructor at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Moose Jaw. He’ll fly and then he’ll be around after his show to talk with people. We’ll also be selling raffle tickets for a chance to win one of two plane rides with him.” “We’ve also requested two modern training planes from CFB Moose Jaw to do a fly-by. After the pilots do the fly-by, they’ll land and display their airplanes, so people can get a view of the aircraft close-up.” “Three vintage World War II training aircraft will also fly in from Brandon for our anniversary day, too,” adds Brown. “Brandon was one of the training bases during the Second World War and these aircraft-from the British Commonwealth Air Training Programmewere used to train Allied pilots from throughout the Commonwealth in Canada. These planes were painted bright yellow and the three vintage aircraft that will be coming to Carlyle that day are a Harvard, a Cornell and a Stinson.” “We’ve also invited a parachutist from Moose Jaw and we’ll have short take-off and landing performances by some of our local guys, as well as a skydiving performance. Sask Air Ambulance will also be there, displaying one of their Medivac planes.” “Weather permitting, we’ll also be offering tethered hot-air balloon rides on-site, courtesy of SIGA,” adds Carlyle Flying Club President, Brad Walker. “There will also be an automobile Show ‘n’ Shine next door at Carlyle Motor Products and for young families who attend, One Church will be bringing a few of their bouncers.” Two of the Flying Club’s most popular traditions will also be upheld this year, with a slightly different format. “Instead of our FlyIn Breakfast, we’ll be hosting a Fly-In Lunch, with pork on a bun and salads. That will be served from 11:30 to 2:30 p.m.,” says Brown. “The Moose Mountain Air Cadets will be helping us out with that and proceeds from the lunch will help to benefit their program and also, airport improvements.” “In addition to the planes that are flying in for performances, local pilots and pilots from other areas will be flying in for the day,” says Walker. “At our Fly-In Breakfast, our club usually give members of the public airplane rides. This year-because there

(Ted) Brady Regional Airport- currently has a runway length of just over 3,600 feet. Plans are afoot to eventually expand the runway to 5,000 feet.

will be so much going on at our anniversary celebrations-we’ll take bookings from people that day-Saturday, June 25-for rides the next day-Sunday, June 26.” Brown-who has written a brief history of the Carlyle Flying Club says: “We hope some of the remaining founding members are able to be in attendance that day.” Brown writes: “The Carlyle Flying Club was founded in 1956 and the founding members were: Jack Mills, Ed Stockton, Russell Stockton, Jack Marshall, Les Hewitt, Harold Brown, Howard Humphries, Vern Clubb, Billy Mills, Alec Dodds and Bill Ramsey.” In addition to honouring local aviation history, events of the day will also pay tribute to longtime resident and former Mayor of Carlyle, Ted Brady, as the airport is formally re-named the ‘E.J. (Ted) Brady Regional Airport’ during an afternoon ceremony and sign dedication. From its beginnings in 1956-with two grass runways on 45 acres of

land-the Club has upgraded the airport to its current runway length of 3,653 ft., with the latest 500 ft. expansion added in 2014. In 1984, the Club turned the airport over to the Town of Carlyle, and through the decades, the Carlyle Flying Club has produced many new pilots and managed to fund the airport via corporate and private donations, lease fees and provincial grants. “Funding for the airport is not on the backs of the taxpayers,” says Walker. “And that’s something we’re really proud of.” “Since 2010, we’ve had several projects going on out here,” adds Brown. “In 2010, we resurfaced the main runway, and in 2014, we extended it by 500 feet. In excess of $1.25 million has been spent and another $200,000 in kind.” “The airport is a real community asset,” says Walker. “Medivac planes land here and we have pipeline survelliance aircraft and corporate aircraft coming and going, in addition to

civilian aircraft. There are also spray planes coming in and we also have firefighting aircraft and helicopters from in and out of the province that use this airport as a refuelling stop, so there’s definitely an economic benefit for the town and area.” “We’re certainly looking forward to our 60th anniversary celebrations,” says Brown. “And we encourage everybody to come out and enjoy the events we have planned.” “You can look at some cool airplanes and have an enjoyable afternoon,” says Walker. “We welcome people of all ages to come out and celebrate 60 years with us.” The Carlyle Flying Club’s 60th Anniversary Celebration takes place Saturday, June 25 at the Carlyle Airport. Lunch is from 11:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. and aeronautic performances are scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. To learn more, visit www.CarlyleAirport. ca or the Town of Carlyle website at www. townofcarlyle.com.

Photos of goose and eagle lead to cultural debate

I had a good laugh the other day. As I was reading through random news articles as I do I came across one that involved photos a lady caught on camera in Vancouver of a Canada goose and bald eagle embroiled in a bitter battle… well not really a battle, the eagle was sitting atop the goose, the goose escaped Kelly Running and took off, and the eagle purObserver Staff sued until deciding it could go after easier prey. The comments under the photos though were priceless. The Canada goose came to represent all of Canada and the bald eagle was the United States. The War of 1812 was brought up and people had turned the photos into a cultural battle, which made me shake my head. The War of 1812 was cited as the War of 1814 and that the Americans won that fight, just like the eagle had won the one versus the goose. I cringed a little bit as a history lover… it was more of a draw than anyone really winning, did territory change or were reparations paid? Nope. The British forces won a few battles, the Americans won a few battles, but in the end the war was over by the time the Americans won their big battle in 1814 because forces simply hadn’t heard the fighting was over already. The treaty was signed in Europe because Canada wasn’t Canada until 1867, they were British North America. Although the white house is white because the British forces burned it and they are the only foreign force to have occupied Washington D.C., so there’s a couple of claims to fame there. Americans thought that the people living in Upper and Lower Canada wanted to be part of the United States, but discovered this was not the case. The comments were kind of funny because the majority of Americans were taking the stance that the eagle had won and thus they were better than Americans. Some Americans took to defending Canadians though, pointing to Canadians knowing the American national anthem and singing it in Toronto a couple of years ago when the microphone cut out halfway through the performance. Another American took to drawing parallels in the fight in a different way, alluding to the United States being a bully, and cynically writing: “So this ‘American’ Bald Eagle doles out some violence, doesn’t accomplish much of anything aside from making a scene, and eventually just gives up, presumably to pick on some other animal. I honestly cannot think of a more appropriate bird to represent our proud nation.” But despite the banter between Americans and a few Canadians piping up to clarify a few things like the dates of the War of 1812, the Canadian descriptions of the same fight between goose and eagle were absolutely wonderful. The one that made me laugh the most was the following description of the battle: “[Canada] geese will mess you up. That’s why us Canadians are so polite and friendly all the time; once a year, during the four days when the ice melts, we take our canoes on a long and dangerous journey, fending off polar bears and lumberjacks until we reach the sacred land of Toronto where we cover ourselves in maple syrup and perform a hockey ritual that transfers all our aggressiveness into the geese. They hold within them the cold rage of a frozen nation.”

No day is one-size-fits-all It’s a concept many support. It’s even emblazoned on signs as you travel. “This portion of Highway 110 adopted by the Boys and Girls Club.” The idea is good. Various organizations, churches or businesses take on a section of roadway, and adopt it, committing to its upkeep and maintenance for that year. The effort is great, but using the word adoption in this Shelley Luedtke context makes this mom uneasy since my two daughters are ours through the amazing journey of international adoption. Adoption is a lifetime commitment. It is all-in, all the time; not a weekend project or slogan to add to company letterhead. Yet I wouldn’t demand or expect programs to change their name to fit my sensibilities toward its use. I lost my father when I was 18 years old. It was sudden. Unexpected. Heartbreaking. It happened just a few days before Christmas. The following June, as we approached the day set aside to honour fathers, I was of course acutely aware of the loss. But I was just as sad the day before…and the day that followed. Some activists are once again calling for the elimination of Father’s Day. They point to the number of non-traditional families that could find the day offensive. Others call for an end citing its 2nd class status considering we spend $5 billion less than we do a month earlier to honour mothers. So, fathers shouldn’t be honoured at all…or we aren’t showing enough honour. Which is it? Multiple school jurisdictions have done away with including Mother’s or Father’s Day into school programming. It is a way of avoiding isolating children whose families don’t adhere to the traditional mother-father role. Administrators say they don’t want children feeling excluded who may not have someone to take a craft or card home to. It could be painful for a child. So is report card day if you don’t meet an ad-

equate standard. So is track and field day if you are not at all athletic. So is recess if you feel alone. So is not being part of the conversations about the latest video games, movies or music if the rules at home are different from other households. So is completing assignments that require answers different than what fits with your faith perspective. It’s hard at times, but it reminds us that we don’t live in isolation. We are not the centre of the universe and we shouldn’t demand everyone else change to ease our sense of what is comfortable. There are instances day in and day out that will have us feeling like an outsider, but other times when we are at the hub of what is going on. It’s about embracing those circumstances that help us express gratitude for what matters to us, along with developing compassion and empathy for those who are in a different situation. We speak of adopting attitudes, resolutions, policies and motions. It’s a word I know needs to be used in maintaining good governance and procedural protocol. But that doesn’t take away one ounce of the depth of meaning adopting has in my life. My experience with the word is different from others, just like my experience of Father’s Day is different. But that doesn’t mean either should be considered wrong, offensive or in need of abolishment. Quite the contrary. It makes me that much more thankful for what I had…and have. Some children have never met their father. Some have fathers fully engaged in their lives. Many fall somewhere in the middle. The use of some terms, or the tributes assigned to certain days will not fit for everyone, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a place for them. One of the signs of maturity is the ability to be happy for those who have what we don’t, and demonstrating consideration for others by putting them first. That’s how my father lived, and he would be glad to know it is an approach to life adopted by his daughter. That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

Fractured Fairstyles: Disney’s Passive, Perfect Princesses

Our personalities dictate what we like, even when we’re young

Lynne Bell

Kelly Running

Observer Staff

Recently, I had the chance to cover a presentation entitled “Tossing the Tiara” by author Jeanne Martinson. Martinson’s workshop was courtesy of Cornerstone Family and Youth for members of CFY’s Girls Group. Martinson’s most recent book-also called “Tossing the Tiara”-examines fairytales, specifically the Disney versions of these traditional tales-and she says that often, the message they impart is one of setting up girls for lives of inaction and passivity. As a hardened mother of two twentysomethings, I must confess that at this point in my life, I am so done with all things Disney- having escorted my offspring to many Disney films, not to mention the countless home viewings, Halloween costumes, and (well, this one was fun) even taking them to kiddie mecca itself-the Disneyland theme park. But I digress. My Disney viewing probably ends somewhere around the Mulan era, and admittedly, I recall the animated princesses of the early 90s displaying a bit more spunk and personality han the wimpy cartoon royals from my childhood (Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White...). However, the messages these films convey to tiny female fans are still worth examining, if only because Disney films of all eras (including my own ancient one) are still perennial favourites of little girls everywhere. To clarify, Martinson is a happily-married, down-to-earth Saskatchewan native, who isn’t calling for a boycott of Disney films. Far from it. But she says because fairytales-especially the heavilymarketed Disney versions of these stories- are so pervasive in our society, we would be wise to teach girls to watch them with a critical eye. “Fairytales are one of the earliest influences we have as children,” she told the CFY workshop participants. “And they are one of the ways we’re taught to think about ourselves, other girls, and guys. The stories have been around over 400 years and with Disney, especially, most young women have encountered them during their childhoods.” In addition to the plethora of evil stepmoms in Disney films, Martinson also cites the passivity of Disney’s Cinderella, in which a fairy godmother saves our heroine. In Sleeping Beauty, a prince is the rescuer. In Snow White, the prince is also a rescuer. Additionally, Snow White’s beauty is viewed as downright dangerous to her and is also a source of homicidal jealousy for her aging stepmother. In Beauty and the Beast, it’s Belle’s job to change her fella from raging beast to prince-and most importantly, husband material. Martinson says these messages are “a really crippling influence, especially when it’s combined with another pervasive Disney message-that we should be the perfect princess.” However, the author says one of the most damaging effects of the Disney versions of fairytales are that these narratives continue-unchecked-through many women’s lives. “In the movie Pretty Woman-another Disney film- it’s the same story. A wealthy guy rescues a gal and they live happily ever after. But the problem wth this message is that it teaches us not to take care of ourselves-especially economically.” Martinson says that if both women and men reach their full potential their lives-and the lives of their families-will be better. “I think that when women understand the power of fairytales and the power they have to change the narrative, they make better decisions for the future-and that’s good news for everyone.” I agree. And don’t get me started on Pretty Woman...

“A tale as old as time…” well maybe not as old as time, but Beauty and the Beast was one of my absolute favourite Disney movies as a child, and to begin this column it seemed appropriate to use that quote. A topic of discussion for many, does media affect kids growing up, more specifically do Disney movies and other popular culture impact youth as they become adults. One of the common arguments is that it does, that by watching Cinderella and Snow White girls are taught that Prince Charming will save them. I grew up with Disney movies, our entire TV stand when I was little was lined with them, we must have had at least 20 different ones. Out of all of them my sister loved Cinderella and I loved Beauty and the Beast. My views on pop culture as a youngster might be skewed because although I loved Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, and Anastasia (a 20th Century Fox movie I always thought was a Disney movie)… but on top of that I was also a huge Power Rangers fan. I don’t believe that these princess films really impacted me, I feel like I gravitated towards them. I liked the more independent princesses, the ones that weren’t really waiting around to be saved, but could survive on their own. Belle was strong willed and showed the Beast kindness and treated him like she would anyone else, the Beast was reminded of what it meant to be human. Mulan defeated the Huns; she was tough and independent. In the cartoon, Anastasia had been raised as an orphan after being split from her family, but in the final battle with the bad guy, Rasputin, Anastasia’s love interest came to her rescue… however, in a twist he is in peril and Anastasia saves him. It was these movies that I was drawn to, while my sister was drawn to Cinderella and The Little Mermaid. We watched these movies together and

I would have been exposed to the ones she liked early on because I’m younger than her by three years. But, despite watching those ones, I was drawn to the others, which makes me believe that whether we watch those movies at a young age or not, certain people will be drawn towards different things. I was a stereotypical tomboy growing up, while my sister was tough, but was more interested in “girly” things than I was. Was it because we grew up differently? No. We simply liked different things and those differences were evident at a very young age. I recently rewatched the Power Ranger movie from the 90s and I noticed that the Green/White Ranger came to the rescue of the Pink Ranger quite often, but again, when I was little the Green/ White Ranger was my favourite one. There were a total of six of them to choose from, but again I was drawn to the independent, leader type while my sister didn’t really like that show at all. So, I don’t think we can blame women being paid less than men on television shows and movies we watch when we’re little. I think we just blame society for not being equal in this day and age as it should be. There are a lot of strong women in the world who make less than their male equivalents, but what are those women going to do? Quit their jobs and go without, or attempt to outperform others and prove that women and men deserve to be paid the same. It’s the companies that are perpetuating the issue, not the movies and TV shows we watch, because it’s my honest opinion that we gravitate towards different ones just because we like them better. After all when I was about five-years-old my favourite movie was Terminator 2, in fact it’s still one of my favourites. So, we’re drawn to different things according to our personalities. The fact that women are paid less than men is actually just a remnant of earlier society that continues to change, pressing forward to equality.

The call of the west: Whiskey and Katelyn embark on journey across Canada Kelly Running Observer Staff

Confucius, a Chinese teacher and philosopher, once said, “Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” For Katelyn Stromgren and her horse Whiskey, both of British Columbia, these are words to live by as they embark on a journey across Canada. Before considering this adventure, Stromgren had traveled the Maritimes, Quebec, and Ontario at 18-years-old. She had been bitten by the travel bug and was determined to see the country and while on that trip she fell in love with Quebec. “I had moved to Montreal a couple of years ago,” Stromgren explained. “I loved the language, culture, and history of the area. I thought, I’m never going back [to B.C.], ‘Hello new life!’ I brought Whiskey and my dog and cats, everything. And I really liked it there, but I didn’t find the success I was looking for there.” “If anything could go wrong, it did,” she now laughs at her bad luck in Montreal. Although at the time she realized her path had taken a detour, Stromgren’s outlook on life easily led her to a new path. She would head back to Kelowna, but in an unconventional and adventurous way. She would grab her traveling partner from his lodgings outside Montreal and embark on the cross continental journey with him. “I still love Quebec and I’ll go back there sometime,” Stromgren explained. “But, Quebec will always be there and I have Whiskey now who would be the perfect horse to take on this journey.” After moving everything back to Kelowna, Stromgren prepared for her adventure and left with Whiskey on April 30th of last year. Whiskey is a 17-year-old gelding, which Stromgren says is very much like her: they’re both stubborn and determined. This is actually how Stromgren came to own Whiskey. “I’ve had him for eight year and I’m used to him,” Stromgren explained. “I’ve put a lot of hours and work into him. I was actually given him for free and told he was ‘Unrideable, untrainable, and good for nothing but horse meat.’ At the time he was pretty nasty, and he can still be stubborn, but he just took a lot of patience. It would have taken about eight months before I could really sit on his back. He just never really had the proper training, he is a lot of horse: super smart and stubborn. But, I ‘teenage girl-ed’ him and he’s good now.” Whiskey is enjoying himself on the trip as well, “When we’re riding his ears are forward and he’s marching forward to the west.” It’s been an interesting trip so far for the pair: “This is my second season doing this. Last year I had a couple of setbacks along the way.” This included an injury Whiskey sustained, “I don’t work a horse when they’re injured, so I had some time off. I probably had a month of good weather left when that happened, but I was

in Fannystelle and I had one degree of separation from the family there, it was where my grade two teacher had grown up, and while Whiskey was healing, I got to know them, and although I could have made it a little further last year they offered to winter him. I knew he’d be happy and healthy there, so he stayed with them and I went back to Kelowna to work for the winter.” “On May 21 of this year I picked up again. I didn’t intend for this to take two seasons, but it’s an adventure and I love being on horseback, so I can’t complain, it’s a great way to spend the summer.” Stromgren is loving the adventure with Whiskey and enjoying the many people they meet along the way. “Traveling on horseback has its nuances, everybody and their uncle stops to talk to you and you meet a lot of the local people,” Stromgren explained. “I’ve noticed the subtle accent changes along the way as well, had I taken a road trip to see the sights it would have been different, it’s really interesting the little things you notice. When you travel slowly it’s a nice way to explore and you see so much.” “You meet people who know the area and have their opinions, I really like just listening with an open mind, setting my beliefs aside, and just looking at life from their point of view. There’s no better way to learn and experience an area than to listen and observe. Traveling by bike [cycling] would be similar, but you still cover so much more distance and not really having to rely on hospitality along the way.” “There’s just small cultural variations you might not see otherwise,” Stromgren added. “Just something that comes to mind are what they call mile roads in Manitoba, here I hear them called grid roads – even though their signs are titled as range roads – and I know in Alberta they call them range roads, so just little subtleties like that stick out more when you’re travelling slowly.” Stromgren and Whiskey travel between 30km and 50km a day and last year, two weeks into their adventure she realized she would be going through horse shoes quite quickly unless she found a more durable replacement. “I found a Ferrier who was somewhat retired, he had shoes and borium – it’s a metal used in heavy workload applications – but the borium wasn’t applied by the Ferrier,” Stromgren explained. “And those shoes lasted about 1,000 km before it slipped off the shoe. I arrived in Nipigon [Ontario] and I had heard the name of this one Ferrier everywhere, so I contacted him and he was really enthused about helping and wanted to come to me to fit Whiskey, but he was leaving the province the next day and couldn’t, so a blog reader of mine trailered Whiskey and gave me a ride to the Ferrier there and those shoes will have to be reset, but we’ve traveled 1,000 km and they still look good.” “That was on Canada Day last year, which was kind of disappointing. On my third day into the trip someone gave me a Canadian flag and I thought I would wear it as a cape as I rode down the side of the road, I didn’t intend a trailer ride, but needed to take one so I didn’t get to do it last year. Now, a year later, I have that same flag packed and I’m going to make it happen this year. It hung on my wall all winter in my apartment and I would look at it and say, ‘next year.’” It’s been an interesting journey and Stromgren has enjoyed the beauty of the ever changing landscape. “It’s a lot of fun and I’m so, so glad to be doing it.” For Stromgren traveling is a large part of her life: “Every six months I find I just need to do something and I’ll take off for awhile, there’s just so much to see. I don’t think I’m ever going to see all of Canada to my satisfactory, I mean it’s the second largest country in the world.” “I’ve been out to the Pacific and to the Atlantic, I still need to go to Newfoundland, but I’d love to take a couple of trips to the Arctic Circle as well, one in the summer and one in the winter, see a 24hour day and a 24-hour night, and see the Northern Lights from the North; I think that would be so interesting to see that and I know I would meet a lot

54th Annual Inspection of 723 Moose Mountain Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron Photos by Lynne Bell Lieutenant Derek Huenison recapped the events of another busy and successful year for the 723 Royal Canadian Moose Mountain Air Cadet Squadron at the cadets’ annual inspection, Monday, June 6 in Carlyle. This year, the squadron took part in Remembrance Day ceremonies, participated in multi-squadron activities in Oxbow and Estevan and took citizenship tours in Ottawa, Montreal and Regina, to name a few. Huenison told the cadets: “As you leave here tonight, take time to reflect on your accomplishments.”

Members of 723 Bow Valley Squadron’s Pipe and Drum Corps take a break after opening the 723 Moose Mountain Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron’s 54th Annual Inspection in Carlyle on Monday, June 6. The bagpipers and drummers made the trip from Oxbow for the ceremony.

This year’s Air Cadet League representative was Pete Garten (pictured) of Regina. Chairman of the 723 Moose Mountain Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron’s Civilian Committee, Shannon Huenison, is pictured introducing public speaker Sgt Nicholas Huenison, who spoke about the cadets’ six-day citizenship trip to Ottawa and Montreal.

Fsgt Jessica Hamilton receives the Cadet Legion Medal of Excellence from Wendy Rounce on behalf of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Fcpl Kendra Ross sang both ‘O Canada’ and ‘God Save the Queen’ at the 54th Annual Inspection. In addition to drill, physical fitness, outdoor survival, marksmanship, biathalon and aviation activities, the cadets are also encouraged to develop their other abilities, such as public speaking and in Ross’s case, singing.

The 723 Moose Mountain Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron wrapped up another year at their 54th Annual Inspection, Monday, June 6 in the Carlyle Elementary School gym. Members of the squadron were praised by the evening’s special guest, Southeast Cornerstone School Superintendent Kevin Hengen, who told them: “We’re happy to provide you with the use of this facility. I’ve seen many of you in school, too. And you are great role models in and out of cadets.”

Roy Bortollotto attended the 90th annual meeting of the Saskatchewan Conference in Regina June 2-5th. It was the 30th anniversary of the church’s apology to our Indigenous Neighbours. The question was what is the next step after the apology? It was also the 80th anniversary of the ﬁrst woman ordained in the United Church. She was Lydia Gruchy, a school teacher from Moose Jaw who wasn’t allowed to be ordained in the 1920’s . She worked as a lay minister for many years but was ordained when the doctrine of equality was passed.

HOOVER: Jean Isabelle Hoover (née Chatterton) was born in Willow Bunch, SK on May 15th, 1929. She passed away on Tuesday, June 7th, 2016 at Extendicare Nursing Home in Moose Jaw, SK. In her youth, Jean enjoyed riding her horse and loved all animals. She trained her dog to pull a sleigh and had a pet crow that ate with her cats and dogs. She especially enjoyed helping her parents on their farm. Jean grew up with and married the love of her life, Donald Hoover, on December 27th, 1951. During their marriage, they lived on a farm by Assiniboia and Kisbey, and in 1960 moved to Arcola, SK where they raised their children. After the tragic death of Don on January 29th, 1982, Jean eventually moved to Moose Jaw to be closer to her children. Jean had a passion for gardening. She took pride in her gardens and loved showing her beautiful flowers. Jean enjoyed many years of socializing with her friends and family, and maintained her independence until she moved into Extendicare Nursing Home. Jean touched the lives of everyone she met. She was predeceased by her parents, Issac and Helen Chatterton; and her beloved husband, Don. Jean will be lovingly remembered by her children: Les (Monica) Hoover, Joyce (Barry) Daly, Iona (JR) Chamberlain, Larry, Brittany (Cam) Ferguson, Terry Hoover and Marvin (Naomi) Hoover; brother, Ken Chatterton of Duncan, BC; brother-in-law, Jim (Jean) Hoover of Calgary, AB; as well as all of her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and so many others. The family wishes to thank Extendicare Nursing Home for their care of Jean. A Celebration of Jean’s Life was held on Sunday, June 12th, 2016 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. at the Moose Jaw Eagles Club, 561 Home St W. As an expression of sympathy, donations in Jean’s name may be made to a charity of one’s choice. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane.

Alida News Submitted by Edel Cowan

The community was shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden death of Patrick Charles of Wainwright, AB, who passed away on June 6, 2016 at the age of 36 years. Our sincerest sympathy is extended to his mother Patti, sister Melynda and her daughters Lily and Amy, aunt and uncle Cecille and Bob Harrison and of course to all other family members as well. On June 8 Patti, Melynda, girls, and Bob left for Wainwright to spend time with Patrick’s family and attend a memorial service on Friday, June 10. They arrived back to Alida on Sunday, June 12. An interment service was held at Cantal on June 14 followed by a fellowship luncheon at Alida Hall.

The Alida and Area 4-H Beef Club held their Achievement Day on June 6 here at the Alida grounds with a good crowd in attendance. It was a beautiful day, sunny but not too hot with enough wind to keep insects at bay so one could thoroughly enjoy the day watching the members work with their calves. The members also seemed to have a good day and were very pleased with the outcome. The day began around 11:00 am when the members arrived with their cattle and they got right to work in preparing the animals for the show to begin at 1:00 pm. Following the show, a delicious supper was enjoyed by everyone and the day ended with the presentations of awards being presented to the winners. Their judge was very impressed with the members and their dedication to their duties as 4-H members. He so generously donated his day’s earnings back to the club, which was appreciated. It was a great day for everyone. Good luck to all the members as they now prepare to attend the Regional 4-H Show & Sale in Alameda. Hal and Glenda Nielsen received word that his aunt Gladys (Nielsen) Kohn of Leduc, AB had passed away June 7, 2016 at the age of 81 years. Interment will be held at Danneverke Cemetery at a later date. Gladys

was the daughter of the late Harold and Tillie Nielsen, and step-mom Mable and was raised at Alida with her 5 siblings. Sincere sympathy is extended to the Nielsen, Bacon and Kohn families and to all other family members. I noticed an obituary in the Redvers paper (June 11 issue) that Rollande Hyde of Swift Current had passed away at the Swift Current Care Centre at the age of 92 years. The Hyde family lived in Alida from 1995 – 1970 when Harold and Rollande moved to Pennant and ﬁve years later they moved to Swift Current. Rollande was predeceased by her husband Harold (1976) and son Maurice (2014/02/28). Condolences are extended to her remaining six children and their families. Edel Cowan attended the Redvers Graduation Ceremonies on June 10 which was held at the Redvers Recreation Centre. The grade 12 young ladies look magniﬁcent in their gorgeous beautiful dresses (amazes me that there was not one dress alike) and of course the young men also looked amazing in their handsome attire. Graduating from the Alida area were Madison Hess, Caleb Culbertson and Erica McWhirter. Congratulations to all graduates and Best wishes in your future endeavors. Tim and Shelly Cowan left in the fore-

noon on Saturday, June 11 to attend the Meat Loaf Concert in Moose Jaw that evening. Unfortunately due to a illness the concert was cancelled. They returned home on Sunday via Estevan where Shelly visited with daughter Kelsey Rydberg and Tim attended the lacrosse game in Bienfait where he watched nephew Dustin Cowan play. Ainsley spent the weekend with her grandparents Gray and Edel and enjoyed her sleepover while parents were away. Gray and Edel Cowan accompanied by granddaughter Ainsley spent Sunday afternoon at Cannington Manor visiting with Gray’s cousins, Sharon Lafferty and Tanis Sommerfield, who had arrived from BC, and also visited with other members of the Robins family (originally from Redvers). It is Father’s Day on Sunday, June 19 so I’ll take this moment to wish all the fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers and sons a very “Happy Father’s Day” – hope you have a great day. Noticed that there is only about two weeks of school left before the holidays (where does the time go?). Good luck students with your exams. Carnduff and Oxbow will soon be holding their Grade 12 graduation days, keep those dates in mind. Once again folks please contact me with your news.
