The Bear Claw Casino and Hotel’s Annual Pow Wow at White Bear First Nations on Aug. 28, 29 and 30 was a gathering that honoured First Nations culture, tradition, and spirituality.

The pow wow was also a visual spectacle full of colour, sound and pageantry that welcomed participants and visitors from throughout Saskatchewan, as well as from Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Ontario, Arizona, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Utah.

During Saturday’s Grand Entry Ivan Lonechild of White Bear First Nations delivered the opening invocation, which included a prayer in Cree and a reflection on the history of White Bear’s pow wow.

“Back in 1989, some of us on the White Bear Pow Wow committee saw that some of the young people quit dancing pow wow because they couldn’t get past the old pros.

So we opened a new category. We also took measures to increase interest in the singing contest. And today, I see that Stoney Park (singers and drummers from Morley, Alberta) won that competition here back in 1989 and they’re here with us again today at White Bear, all those years later.”

Lonechild emphasized the need to preserve the pow wow’s spiritual value for First Nations peoples in the face of modernity.

“We used to camp the old way (at pow wow),” he said. “We didn’t stay in hotels or motels. We cooked our food outside, the old way. With pow wows changing, sometimes, as Indian people, we have to take a step backwards and look within ourselves.”

“But I’m happy our pow wow committee understands the spirtitual aspect of what we are,” he concluded.

Visiting Chief Dr. Leo Omani of Saskatchewan’s Wapayton First Nation gave an address that underscored the importance of family and community among First Nations peoples.

“Governance used to begin in the family,” said Omani. “Mom and Dad, brothers and sisters, and extended families settled disputes. Then you moved to your nations and then to other nations, and there was consensus.

Ivan Lonechild of White Bear First Nations opened Saturday’s ceremony with a prayer in Cree. Lonechild gave a brief history of the White Bear First Nations pow wow, and emphasized the importance of keeping the pow wow’s spiritual traditions intact in the face of modernity.

Omani said that no matter who formed the next federal government, “Our treaty rights must be upheld,” and paid tribute to the veterans in attendance, saying: “The veterans opened these doors for us and I thank them from the bottom of my heart.”

White Bear First Nations is well-known for the respect it pays to military veterans, and this year’s pow wow was no exception. During Saturday’s Grand Entry, dancers briefly broke ranks to shake the hands of three non-marching veterans seated in a place of honour. In addition, military veterans and serving members of both the Canadian and American Forces entered the pow wow to an enthusiastic reception.

Canadian Forces veteran and member of the Saskatchewan First Nations Veteran’s Association, Irvin Alexson of Kahkewistahaw First Nation near Broadview, says that the pow wow is helping him to reconnect with his heriage.

“I am honoured to be here and the hospitality here is great,” he says. “I would like to thank the veterans who came before me and the Saskatchewan First Nations Veteran’s Association, because without them, I wouldn’t be here.”

“My parents had a tough choice to make when I was young, and neither choice was a good one.

It’s (now) called the ‘Sixties Scoop’ and my parents could either choose to have me adopted out or send me to residential school. They chose residential school, because at least they could see me again.”

“But at the school, they took everything away from us. They stripped us naked, cut our hair off and took away our language.

The Bear Claw Casino & Hotel’s Annual Pow Wow at White Bear First Nations on Aug. 28, 29 and 30 was a visual spectacle full of colour, sound and pageantry that honoured First Nations culture, tradition and spirituality. This year, participants and visitors came from throughout Saskatchewan, as well as from Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Ontario. American representatives travelled to the pow wow from Arizona, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Utah.

The pow wow is a big part of me picking up my culture and language again.”

“I would like to see our young people carry on our traditions, because you have to know where you come from. And I would also like to see them getting their education and getting a full understanding of life.”

Along with the traditional tribute to veterans, the Grand Entry began with a stirring drum roll call led by Alberta singers and drummers Stoney Park. After the prayer and invocation to the Great Creator by Ivan Lone-

child, dignitaries and dancers entered the bandshell.

Bear Claw Casino acting general manager, Brennan Dickson said: “I’m a proud White Bear member, and 1993 began the birth of Indian gaming in Canada. Our leadership wanted our people to do better...In 1996, the casino opened its doors. Next year it will be 20 years.”

“Bringing the casino and the golf course here has helped to bring our people jobs, education, life skills.

However long it takes, our people will get back on their own course.”

to Regina continue to experience growth, proving, once again, that many motorists are using those two roads, in an effort to avoid Highways 39 and 6. But it also creates a lot of stress on 33 and 47.

Also, traffic has grown considerably on Highway 39 from North Portal to the junction with Highway 18. While the 2,020 vehicles per day near the Roche Percee turnoff might not reflect a highway that needs to be twinned, it’s nearly a 25 per cent increase from the 1,660 vehicles record at the same area last year.

Highway 13 from Stoughton to Carlyle also continues to have extensive traffic. There are now 3,590 vehicles per day near the junction of Highways 13 and 9 west of Carlyle, making it the most well-travelled rural portion of the highway in the province.

It’s time for the provincial government to seriously consider passing lanes for Highway 13 in southeast Saskatchewan.

It will be interesting to see how these numbers look a year from now.

The economic slowdown has had an impact on our region. But people who regularly drive our highways will tell you they haven’t seen a negligible decrease in traffic.

And the projects that have been promised to our region must proceed, because the economic slowdown won’t last forever.

One of the strongest indicators of activity in the region is the traffic volume map released by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure each year.

For reporters who love numbers, it’s a great opportunity to sit down and crunch the data on how many vehicles were on each highway, and how they compared with the previous year. While the figures are about a year old by the time they’re released, they reflect the strength of the region at the time.

For the first time in a number of years, traffic on the highways in the Estevan area declined – a slight drop of about 2.6 per cent. However, they’re still about 12 per cent higher than the 2011 levels.

Highway 39 between Estevan and the junction with Highway 18 ranged between 6,200 and 8,500 vehicles per day. The twinning of Highway 39 from Estevan to south of Bienfait is not in jeopardy. The sooner it is finished, the safer we will be.

And while traffic on Highway 39 west of Estevan is also down, Highways 39 and 6 from Estevan to Regina is still very busy. Highway 6 south of Regina now has 5,000 vehicles per day.

A few trends are worth noting.

Carlyle’s Morrison family finds “a home away from home” at Saskatoon’s Ronald McDonald House Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

“Ronald McDonald House in Saskatoon is the only one in the province,” she says. “It really is a ‘home away from home’ for families with sick kids and the House serves families from all over Saskatchewan. They don’t want to turn anyone away, but sometimes, they have to, due to space limitations. The expansion is already helping Ronald MacDonald House serve more families.”

During the past 30 years, Saskatchewan’s Ronald McDonald House in Saskatoon has served more than 18,000 families. Demand is growing and Lisa says the Red Shoe Walk not only celebrates three decades of help the Saskatoon House has provided to families; the event will also support the expansion of its services to all families whose children receive medical care in Saskatoon.

“The fee for a family to stay is only $10 a night,” she says. “For low-income families that can’t afford that, service clubs like the Lions or the Knights of Columbus will often pay that fee.”

“The Red Shoe Walk is taking place in towns and cities across Saskatchewan,” she adds. “It’s in support of a place that’s meant for all families who need it.”

“It’s really like a home. You can cook your own food and everybody gets a shelf in the fridge and a cupboard in the kitchen. There’s also a community pantry, fridge and freezer that are stocked, in case you forget something. Volunteers will come in and cook suppers, too, but it’s really nice to be able to cook your own meals, especially if you’re staying there for a while.”

“They’re stocked up with things like shampoo and soap, too,” adds Lisa. “You just walk in there and they have you looked after.”

“The rooms look like a hotel room, and a family’s room will have two beds, a bathroom, a TV and dressers. But there are also quiet rooms, a workout room, a library, three computers and work stations and even a play room called ‘The Rowdy Room.’ It’s so much better than kids being cooped up in a hotel room.”

“There are all kinds of different outlets for people who are staying there, depending on what they feel like. There’s even a coffee shop counter with go-cups and, of course, Carter really likes the fresh-baked cookies at the door.”

“My favourite thing to do there is to go in the toy room,” adds Carter. “I like to play with all the toys they have-and they have a lot.”

“It’s designed to meet the needs of kids who need medical attention and their families,” she adds. “You can do your laundry there and basically, anything that can make your stay more home-like is provided. It’s not about convenience for its own sake; it’s about convenience that lets you be as free

Since he was a baby, Carter Morrison of Carlyle has stayed in Ronald McDonald Houses in Edmonton, Winnipeg and Saskatoon. The 11-year-old grade six student’s decade-long experience with Ronald McDonald House has inspired his mother Lisa to help organize and participate in the firstever Red Shoe Walk in Estevan on Sept. 13, in an effort to, “Give back and to also raise awareness for other families who might benefit from Ronald McDonald House.”

Carter says Ronald McDonald House(s) are “A fun place to stay because they keep you busy. It’s fun.”

The Morrison family’s relationship with Ronald McDonald House began when Carter was a baby.

“Carter was born with achondroplasia,” says Lisa. “It’s a medical condition that comes with complications. Since he was one, he’s had close to 20 surgeries and with those surgeries, there are a lot of check-ups-before and after-a lot of admissions, tests and overnight stays.”

“When we first found out, we were sent to Saskatoon right away,” she adds. “One of your first thoughts is: ‘Where are you going to stay?’ when you don’t know the city or anyone in the city.”

“You’re basically trying to navigate a new city and a new situation during a really stressful time.

Just getting to the hospital from a hotel and figuring out something like parking can be a real burden for families-not just financially, but emotionally, too.”

“Those little things can really add up and add stress to what’s already a pretty stressful situation,” says Lisa. “Ronald McDonald House really alleviates a lot of that (stress) and helps families to focus on their child.”

Lisa says the family’s first stay at Ronald McDonald House came about “When the hospital social worker approached my husband, Trevor. At first we thought, ‘No’, just because we assumed that Ronald McDonald House wasn’t for families in our situation. But now we know what they do for all families with a child undergoing medical treatment and we are so grateful. We want to let other families know about the great work they do.”

“It really took a load off for us. It was just one less thing we needed to worry about.”

“That first time, we were in Saskatoon. I stayed at the hospital with Carter and in-between, Trevor could sleep at Ronald McDonald House, which is really close to the hospital-in fact, you can walk there, which is great-especially in winter. We could head over there for a shower and it’s so much more homey than a hotel.”

“They met us at the door and made us feel right at home,” adds Lisa.

“And as far as they’re concerned, family comes in all shapes and sizes and they welcome them all-grandmas, aunts, basically, anyone who wants to be there to support their child in the hospital.”

“Even now, Carter likes to stay overnight there, because in-between tests and things at the hospital; the House is close enough that he can head over there instead of waiting at the hospital for hours between procedures.”

Lisa says that Ronald McDonald Houses aim to help every family who needs their support. “They don’t like to turn anyone away, but sometimes they have to, just because of space limitations. We’ve been turned away, because they’re full. You don’t get to book ahead. Instead, you call them the night before and if there’s a room available, that’s great.

They also don’t ask anybody to leave.”

“The Saskatchewan Ronald McDonald House doesn’t receive any government funding and relies entirely on community support,” she adds. “Ronald McDonald House charrities (RMHC) are long-term partners to Canadian Ronald McDonald Houses,” says Lisa. “But we still have a significant need to fundraise in our communities, because Saskatchewan’s Ronald McDonald House has an operating budget of $1.2 million that they have to meet.”

“That’s why supporting the expansion is so important to me. Thirty-four rooms serves families throughout the entire province.”

“I also really want to get the awareness out there for other families. We knew nothing about Ronald McDonald House and what they do until we were in a situation where we received their help.”

“I really can’t do enough for them.”

Estevan’s Red Shoe Walk takes place Sunday, Sept. 13 at Affinity Place. Registration is at 1 p.m.

Carter Morrison of Carlyle was born with achondroplasia, a medical condition that “comes with complications,” according to his mom, Lisa.

Since the grade six student was a baby, he has undergone nearly 20 surgeries and attended countless check-ups and medical appointments throughout Western Canada. As a result, the Morrisons are enthusiastic supporters of Saskatchewan’s own Ronald McDonald House, located in Saskatoon. “At first, we didn’t think (Ronald McDonald House) was meant for us,” says Carter’s mom, Lisa. “By that, I mean it didn’t even occur to us to stay there. But the social worker at the hospital reached out to us, and now, I can’t say enough. It took a load off of our shoulders, and it was one less thing we had to worry about,” she says. “That’s why I think the Red Shoe Walk (in Estevan, Sept. 13) is so important. It will not only help with the expansion to Ronald McDonald House in Saskatoon; it will also let families know it’s out there.”

Quote of the Week . . .

“Be persistent without being impatient.” ― Dave Weinbaum

Treasures of history

Having an interest in history, I remember classes in both high school and university that discussed the movement of valuables during World War II. When countries in Europe, either as Allies or Axis powers, were close to being invaded valuables were loaded up and sent somewhere safe, only to be lost to time.

Kelly Running A fantastic example of this Observer Staff in the then - Soviet Union was of the Amber Room. The room was built in 1701 and were installed at the Berlin City Palace within Prussia (Germany didn’t exist yet). Upon a visit by Peter the Great of Russia in 1716, the panels were presented as a gift to solidify a Russo-Prussian alliance against Sweden, and the Amber Room was constructed in Catherine Palace. It took over ten years to construct a room which covered over 590 sq ft and contained over 13,000 lbs of amber!

The room wasn’t moved when the German invasion began of the Soviet Union, instead it was covered by mundane wallpaper. The Soviets didn’t have time to move the amber and feared it would crumble.

The Nazis seized the amber panels and transported them for storage in Konigsberg, but towards the end of 1944 the city was heavily bombed by the Royal Air Force and in 1945 further damage from an advancing Red Army destroyed the Amber Room. A replica has been created and in 2003 it was dedicated by Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder during the 300th anniversary of the city of Saint Petersburg.

Was the Amber Room really destroyed though or did it make it out of Konigsberg?

Recently in the news was another example of valuables being hidden and lost. This time the items weren’t taken and later destroyed, but a train, filled with gold, was said to have gone missing in the southwest of Poland. The Nazis had attempted to move several tons of gold in 1945 as the Red Army continued to get closer it was sent away.

This train was also rumoured to contain the aforementioned Amber Room, which also disappeared during World War II, as proof of its destruction was never actually verified.

The gold train, however, never reached its destination and tales were spun. Both of these topics have also been made into popular historical fiction novels.

Two individuals claimed to know where the train is and only gave up the whereabouts when it was agreed that they were entitled to 10 percent of the value of its contents, which otherwise belong to the state treasury.

The duo had been searching for the train for years and finally discovered a train, buried 70 metres underground. Nazis had built underground infrastructure to guard themselves from Allied air raids. Many tunnels run underground from Ksiaz Castle through the nearby Owl Mountains and were supposedly built for the Nazis arms industry and the Castle was to be converted to a hotel for Nazi officials. If Hitler were to stay there, then the underground system was a way to escape if need be. This was named Project Riese and today three of seven sites within it are open to the public, but the majority has remained unexplored.

A Nazi military train has been discovered in the tunnels near Walbrzych by the Poland and Czech Republic borders.

Historians were split between those who believed a treasure train existed and those who did not, which makes this find an exciting one and I can’t wait to find out what is housed in this long forgotten train that has lay buried for seven decades.

Never pass it up It was late in the evening at the family theme park where we’d spent the day and I was standing across the path from one of the many washroom facilities in the park. A woman was holding the hand of a girl who appeared to be about 5 and Shelley Luedtke as they were walking the mother announced that since there was a washroom right here it was time for the little girl to go to the bathroom. The girl said no because she didn’t need to, but the mother insisted, declaring they weren’t going anywhere until she did. The little girl repeated she absolutely didn’t need to, and this standoff went on for a few more rounds.

Finally, in exasperation, the mother declared, “Well then, you are obviously dehydrated. We have to go and get you something to drink!”

When our children were little and we were on vacation we had a simple rule: when we saw a washroom we made use of it--always--since we didn’t want to be waiting in line or about to do an activity only to have a child announce they needed a bathroom. The motto became: never pass up an opportunity to use a washroom.

The practice became so ingrained it has continued to this day--something I am happy about because if it hadn’t I would have missed seeing some rather extraordinary bathrooms over the years such as the over-the-top opulence at a church in California or the step back in time at Union Station in Kansas City. Not places that make the tour books but fascinating nonetheless.

Then again, taking the time to stop for a seemingly unnecessary bathroom break may change the course of an event. Right after university I was part of a music team that toured the country. At a concert in southern Saskatchewan we were getting ready to debut a new song. Following a brief intermission five of us were on the stage--when there should have been six. The bass player, who was supposed to also sing background vocals, wasn’t there. As the adage goes--so did the concert and we launched into the song. A rather harried and slightly embarrassed teammate rushed to the wings

and then quietly moved into position for the next song. Basia missed the moment. She had been…in the bathroom.

A stop in a washroom may not be transformative but there are other events that simply shouldn’t be missed.

Never pass up an opportunity to give. The simple act of sharing impacts others and changes us.

Never pass up an opportunity to listen. Count yourself blessed if someone trusts you enough to want to speak the thoughts on their minds.

Never pass up an opportunity to laugh. It triggers the release of endorphins, reduces stress hormones and boosts immune cells, and to top that--it is often something we do in community with others. What a gift!

Never pass up an opportunity to say you’re sorry. Living gracious, forgiving lives means living fuller, more loving lives.

Never pass up an opportunity to give encouragement; to say thank you; and to acknowledge effort. Kindness to others has physiological ramifications including lowering blood pressure and reducing anxiety, but more than that it gives us an opportunity to impact a life. Today.

Never pass up an opportunity to fail. Every mistake that is made is evidence that we are trying, striving and setting goals; getting us where we want to go--or perhaps places we may never have dared to dream.

Never pass up an opportunity to take a chance.

It may not work out as hoped. Then again…it might.

Never pass up an opportunity to express words of sympathy, to call an old friend, or to start a conversation with someone new.

Never pass up an opportunity to be humble, to be honest, and to work hard.

Never pass up an opportunity to read, skate, draw, sing, write, garden, paint, run, build or do whatever it is that makes your heart skip a beat and puts a smile on your face. Because at the end of the day the motto really should be: never pass up an opportunity.

That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

Making an effort at an office party Kelly Running Observer Staff

This week’s topic developed as Observer employees were invited to a staff BBQ. Lynne and I were both excited about going, but we realized not everyone is fond of office parties. In fact, office parties are sometimes detested by people who don’t enjoy where they work or the people they work with, which as I’ve said is not the case with us, but a dialogue developed and we decided to take a look into the pros and cons of office parties.

Love them or hate them, office parties are something that are typically held to bolster team morale around the office.

It gives you the opportunity to get to know your co-workers better and who doesn’t like to enjoy a meal, whether it’s going out to a local restaurant or out to someone’s house for a BBQ. I know in our office, the ladies out front do their work and visit a little bit because of the set up they’re in. Others in our office are hidden away in their offices in the back and I rarely get a chance to visit with them. If I go out front, to even talk about work, I always feel like I’m distracting them from what they’re doing, so I tend to keep my interactions short.

Office parties allow you all to come together for a few hours without feeling like you’re taking away from their work by trying to go have a chat with them during work hours.

Also, it’s sometimes surprising to people, but if you’re open to an office party, you might actually have fun. Those people moping in the corner probably should have stayed at home, so if you decide to go then make the most of it.

At the very least go late and leave early, and make the most of your time there. Besides as I’ve said above, if you’re making the most of it, you might surprise yourself with how much of a good time you’re having.

After all the idea behind the Christmas party or a summer picnic is for employers to show their appreciation of your work.

They’re designed to recognize employees for their efforts and it’s a way to show gratitude for the work employees do throughout the year.

So, whether you’re making a quick appearance or going for the duration, enjoy the office party or picnic. Go, have fun, and help make your office the best it can be.

(Office) Party on?!

Observer Staff

They say there’s an exception to every rule-and I’ll get to that-but in the meantime, I have a confession to make: I’m a grumpy curmudgeon when it comes to office parties.

In the past, I have dutifully attended these well-intentioned gatherings grudgingly-and here’s that word again-grumpily.

I remember the awkward turn around the dance floor with an old-school gentleman of a boss from long ago, who saw it as his duty to trip the light fantastic with each of the single ladies in his employ-whether we were 17 or 70. He was gallant and charming when a certain clumsy 17-year-old repeatedly stepped on his toes, but a sedate waltz with an actual grown-up didn’t meet my criteria for a great teenager’s night out-and when he literally limped into work Monday morning, it was the beginning of my dislike for enforced workplace festivities of any kind.

And I’m such a dull party guest, I don’t even have any ribald stories to regale you with, dear readers. However, I know the potential for all kinds of social disaster exists for everyone at these gatherings.

Which brings me to my main argument: Isn’t the point of a party the chance to cut loose and have some uncensored and unchecked (well, within reason...) fun with the people who are closest to you?

And with personal commitments outside the workplace, aren’t most people timecrunched enough without devoting any of their precious leisure time to anything related to work?

Through the Lens Moose Mountain Photography Club

I used to have a theory that workplace Christmas parties should be replaced with a day-or even an afternoon off-so that employees could get a jump on their holiday prep, or even take some time-out before the festive season began in earnest. And if this time-off was accompanied by a bonus, all the better.

However, that was before I attended Team Observer’s Christmas party last year.

And before you assume this is a shameless suck-up, I can assure you it’s not. Our party was held close enough to Christmas to feel the holiday spirit, but far enough away from the big day that none of us felt swamped.

It was a relaxed, sit-down dinner (catered by none of us) and there was no pressure to attend, just a welcome if you wanted to.

If memory serves me, we all cleaned up pretty well, but there was no last-minute angst from anybody regarding wardrobe choices or the need for a new Christmas party outfit. We had the opportunity to reconnect (or in my case, meet) some of the staffers from our sister papers, who are otherwise just voices on the phone during the rest of the year.

People brought their spouses, their plusones, their children or just themselves, and you know what? I had a good time. So much so that when our boss and his lovely wife (Thank you, Ted and Paulette!) hosted an end-of-summer soiree at their cabin, I attended without hesitation.

So you see, there are exceptions to every rule. And hey, party on...

“The Biggest Little Craft Show in Saskatchewan” returning Sept. 19 and 20 Kelly Running Observer Staff

Just around the corner Carlyle will be hosting numerous visitors as this year’s “Biggest Little Craft Show in Saskatchewan,” Homespun, will be held on Saturday, Sept. 19, and Sunday, Sept. 20, with new extended hours on the Saturday.

The event attracts between 3,500 and 4,000 people each year.

Homespun was a vision created 29 years ago and has seen success thanks to the board of directors, the rink board, and the vast amount of community volunteers and attendees.

Throughout the years exhibitors have travelled across Canada, coming from provinces and territories to participate. They’ve seen people as far away as Newfoundland take part and although no Maritimers will be making the trek this year, there are numerous attending from the west coast to Ontario.

“For a small town to attract high quality from Ontario to B.C. is noteworthy,” Judy Riddell, a founder of Homespun, told The Observer last year.

This atmosphere and quality is what brings back vendors and shoppers alike. “[Homespun is] a smaller, exclusive, more intimate shopping experience that focuses on excellent product, wonderful service, great hometown hospitality in beautiful southeast Saskatchewan,” Riddell explained.

This year many wonderful vendors will be back again, while new businesses will also be featured.

This is a way to give variety each year to Homespun as they bring in new, interesting items.

This year the items range from stained glass, honey, jewelry, cat and dog items, pottery, art, clothing, children’s games and toys, dolls, personalized signs, belts and buckles, and a variety of food items.

Found at the Carlyle Sports Arena the event is held from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on the Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the Sunday. Within this Saturday will see a pancake breakfast hosted by the Legion from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Later in the day Supper in the Field awaits from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. as BBQ beef and all the trimmings can be enjoyed.

During both Saturday and Sunday, the Rink Board has homemade food available in the arena kitchen to enjoy.

With Homespun having developed over the years, the Annual Homespun Quilt Show has also become a mainstay. It can be found at Carlyle Memorial Hall and is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

course, and to Arcola Rink when theirs burnt down a number of years ago and they are not done giving back to the community.

“The event was a great success,” says Peggy Slykuis, Bear Claw marketing coordinator. “Both chefs barbequed excellent meals and it was a very close contest when it came time to choose the winner.”

“It was almost a tie, but when it was time for the deciding audience cheer, Painted Hand’s VIPs cheered very loudly for their chef, so (Chef) John Morris from the Painted Hand was awarded the trophy.”

“This competition is something our General Manager Edward Littlechief came up with,” says Slykhuis. “Eventually, we’d like to have a cook-off with chefs from all six SIGA casinos. It’s somehing special for our VIPs and it’s a great way to showcase the talents of our chefs.”

Twenty-five VIPs from both casinos-and their guests- dined on cornish game hens marinated in honey brown beer sauce, courtesy of Bear Claw’s Chef Alcock, while Chef Morris from Yorkton’s Painted Hand served up barbequed beer-braised beef ribs with hickory-smoked chicken breasts.

Caleb Morgan enjoys guest spot at Vivid Crystal Tattoo Studio Kelly Running

Observer Staff

Vivid Crystal Tattoo Studio and Shoppe recently hosted Caleb Morgan, a Florida tattoo artist with Elysium Tattoo, which he runs with his wife Alisha. Morgan has made a name for himself in the tattooing world and Crystal Begin, owner of Vivid Crystal, was excited to welcome him back for a third time to Stoughton.

Morgan had always been interested in art, but becoming a tattoo artist wasn’t something he had really considered.

“I went to two different art schools actually,” Morgan explained. “I first went to the Rhode Island School of Design and then I attended the Cleveland Institute of Art.” “I was disillusioned with the prospects for artists and went into healthcare; I was an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) and a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant).”

He was working in a nursing home when he met Alisha, his wife. While working at the nursing home one night he had drawn on her leg with a marker.

Smiling, Caleb recalled the exchange of thoughts on his drawing from that night: “Alisha said, ‘This is awesome!’ Which it wasn’t, it was terrible, I sucked. But, she said, ‘You should do this.’ And it wasn’t something I had really considered before.”

“Once we were married she kept going on and on about it and she forced me to buy a tattoo kit,” he said laughing.

From there Morgan headed to the Tattoo Learning Center and his new career took off.

Opening a shop first in Connecticut, he and his wife, who is also a tattoo artist, then opened one in Florida as well.

“A lot of artists would say the money [as their favourite part of the job], but I would have to say the satisfaction of knowing something you drew, you created, is going to be on their body forever,” Morgan explained. “It’s almost a rush when you see what you’ve created as a permanent part of their body. You put a lot of work and effort into the image for them to wear forever and they’re pumped about it, that’s the best part.”

Although creating this permanent art is Morgan’s favourite part, he also stressed, “Tattoos are permanent and you have to know what you want, really think about it before you do it.”

The artist has two main styles of tattooing he works with, which includes Traditional Realism and New School. Traditional Realism being a style that recreates an accurate depiction of the subject of the tattoo, while New School takes on an intense

3D imagery, is colourful, and is based on graffiti.

“I like things that have a strong contrast,” he explained. “I want someone to see my work from across the street.”

Morgan has travelled the world as a tattoo artist, attending numerous conventions each year, earning awards for his work, and doing different guest spots, as he has with Vivid Crystal.

“My latest award was at the West Palm Beach Convention,” Morgan explained. “It was for a twoday, large back piece that I did, and there was high competition there.”

“Those are elite conventions, they’re not small conventions by any means and earning an award is very tough.”

With his background in health, Morgan also decided, as he cemented himself in the industry, that he wanted to be part of teaching at the Tattoo Learning Center and has helped to open one in Florida. Here the fundamentals to advanced techniques are taught, with people attending that are already tattoo artists and others, new to tattooing, looking to get into the business.

“We focus a lot on the proper way to tattoo, how to do it safely and cleanly,” Morgan explained.

“There’s so many people tattooing out of their home, which is extremely unsafe, and the institute helps alleviate that because it educates people.”

It was over four years ago now that Morgan first met Begin who attended the Tattoo Learning Center in Florida.

“Crystal is one of my top students,” Morgan said. “She’s created a good, successful tattoo shop. It’s good to be able to pass on knowledge and see them succeed with tactics and techniques you’ve taught. Not only is she successful, but she’s successful in a small town which can’t be easy in this line.”

Begin added that the local community has

welcomed her, a lot of her business comes from the surrounding communities as well which she says helps being in a smaller centre when people are willing to drive two-hours to come see you for a tattoo.

“She has a great shop and a great crew here, and before first coming, Canada was one of the few places I hadn’t been to,” Morgan explained.

“I definitely like your summers better than your winters though.”

Appreciative of the praise, Begin added, “I’ve been open for four years and I’ve invested everything back into the shop for the best products and for our clients’ comfort, so they can have an experience like no other.”

“For me, it’s more about the art than the money.”

An athlete’s view Submitted by Jaelei Meyer Carlyle’s Jaelei Meyer recently competed on Team Canada’s Under 20 Rugby team which recently took on Team USA at the CanAm cup.

I am extremely happy and grateful that I got to go on tour with Canada, the first few days we got there we trained two to three times a day. The coaching staff was awesome and I learnt so much in such a small period of time. We broke down the skills to be strong defensively and offensively.

We focused on tackling for the first practice. What are you doing pre tackle, during tackle and post tackle?

We did the same thing focusing on catching and passing, what are the specific details in catching the ball and passing the ball that will help you be an offensive threat. Both of these skills are so essential to being a great rugby player. Being able to break your tackles down on video and step by step really helped me.

I learnt so much in the training days, it was kind of overwhelming the amount of information they were giving us and it was such a quick turnaround to the games. The u20 Canada team being more of a developmental program has provided me with the information to take back to university

and apply it to my everyday training and university career. It is more about the process- how can I take these tools and apply it to my game.

Game one- the first game we lost by 16 points 38-22 - I played 10 and scored 3 trys.

The first game the USA really outworked us on the pitch. They exploited our weaknesses and capitalized on the opportunities they were given.

During our day off we really analyzed our game, spending hours watching video. We watched individual and team performances and discussed how we needed to play in order to really compete with the USA. Game two- We lost 32-5.

We put out strong defense for the first 20 minutes in the game and really put the USA under pressure when they had the ball. The remaining 60 minutes was a little different; we had a lot of penalties and turnovers that the USA capitalized on. The majority of the game the USA had the ball in hand and they were very aggressive in attack and defence.

Although we didn’t get a win, I am extremely honoured to have worn the maple leaf and am going to keep chasing the dream, in hopes of putting that jersey on again!

Astros biggest surprise of MLB season Sports Wrap Up with Bruce Penton The whole country of Canada is properly excited about the play of the Toronto Blue Jays this summer, but in Texas, baseball fans are flabbergasted at the quick turnaround of the Houston Astros who are — sorry to say this, Jays’ fans — the most surprising team story of the 2015 season.

The ‘Astros’ and ‘losing’ went hand in hand for six straight years and as recently as two years ago won a grand total of 51 games in a 162game season. New general manager Jeff Luhnow arrived in 2011 and the turnaround began. Aging veterans were traded or released, draft choices were stockpiled, the farm system was built up. Last year, the first dividends started to arrive, as the Astros won 70 games. This year, the punch-line team from Texas has been in first place in the American League West almost since Day 1 and heading into September, maintained a healthy lead over Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels. It would take a total collapse for the ‘Stros to miss the playoffs altogether and that’s unlikely to happen, so North Americans tuning in to playoff baseball on TV this fall will get to see what all the excitement is about in Houston.

For starters, the Astros have a player who fans can’t help but love.

Second baseman Jose Altuve is a midget-sized player with speed, power and a batting stroke that’s like butter. He’s only 5-foot-6 and 165 pounds but he won the AL batting crown last year with a .341 average.

His 225 hits led the league (a whopping 25 more than runner-up Michael Brantley of Cleveland), as did his 56 stolen bases. Opposing managers feel that Altuve’s speed will put him into scoring position every time he laces a single, but keeping him off base has been difficult.

Big bangers like George Springer, currently on the disabled list but a 20HR man in only 78 games last year, Luis Valbeuena, Chris Carter and Evan Gattis have been drilling homers, but the play of rookie shortstop Carlos Correa has been the cherry on top of the Houston resurgence. Altuve calls Correa the best player in baseball and although the Houston star may lead the league in exaggeration with statements like that, he’s not that far

A solid pitching staff led by all-star game starter Dallas Keuchel (15-6, 2.28 ERA through Aug. 28) and second-year man Collin McHugh (147) has Houston fans thinking this may finally be the year of the franchise’s first World Series title.

Arcola Volleyball Camp IX draws over 40 young athletes Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Forty-two young athletes attended Arcola Volleyball Camp IX on Aug. 29 and 30 at Arcola School, featuring instructors Dan Frazer of Saskatoon and Arcola’s Eric Brown coaching participants from Arcola, Bellegarde, Carlyle, Estevan, Lampman, Redvers and Wawota.

Frazer, a former member of Team Saskatchewan, has played in the Western Canada Games and at the national level. Brown’s experience as both a player and a coach is extensive and he has played on championship-winning teams in both the Southeast Saskatchewan Division and the Southeast Saskatchewan District as well as playing at the provincial and regional level, where he earned a silver medal.

Organizer Eugene Brown of Arcola says, “ There’s been lots of interest and the camp was waitlisted. It’s definitely about the young athletes, but it’s also about volleyball as a sport.”

First-time participants Lillawhin Lay-Street and Faith Englot, both of Lampman say they would return to the camp.

“I’ve learned a lot,” says Lay-Street. “It’s been really good and I’ve learned the proper way to do things.”

Adds Englot: “It’s very helpful. You learn a lot.

They’re really great instructors and it’s a really good camp.”

“It’s great to see the beginners become enthusiastic about the game as they start to learn the fundamentals,” says Dan Frazer. “As instructors, both Eric and I come from volleyball backgrounds and we want to be supportive, but we also want to push them in a positive way towards their potential.”

“It’s great for us to see the growth in players we’ve coached here before and to see the progress

Insructor Eric Brown adds, “The kids are having fun; the instructors are having fun and we welcome players of any skill level.”

“It’s really gratifying to see them learn more about the game and to enjoy the game. That’s really what it’s all about.”

Quite obviously, it’s a disaster Rider Insider With their season on life support, the Saskatchewan Roughriders came up with one of the most uninspired efforts in years Sunday in Ottawa which ultimately led to an embarrassing 35-13 defeat.

The Riders’ record dropped to 0-9 and virtually any hope that the season can be saved was lost.

Why? Because no indication was given that this trainwreck of a season is anywhere close to being turned around.

The Riders won the coin toss at the outset of Sunday’s game but deferred to the second half which gave Ottawa the ball. They promptly moved 82 yards in just five plays for a 7-0 lead before rookie Rider quarterback Brett Smith even got a chance to touch the ball.

You’ll hear a lot about Brett Smith coming up.

After a prompt two-and-out by the Rider offense in their opening series (which included the first of 10 RedBlacks sacks on the day), Ottawa then put together a 78-yard drive which culminated in another touchdown. 14-0 Ottawa before the game was eight minutes old.

Ready to play on defense?

Hardly.

But the game turned in the second quarter.

The Riders got on the board with rookie Naaman Roosevelt’s first career touchdown, a 9-yard pass from Brett Smith, 2:36 into the second quarter. 1410 RedBlacks.

However seven minutes later an ill-advised Smith pass was intercepted in the Ottawa endzone.

He was given the hook.

That’s okay, we thought. Back-up Tino Sunseri would get a look for a couple of series and then Smith would be back in there.

That, apparently, was the plan initially.

Sunseri’s first drive seemed successful enough until Rider kicker Paul McCallum clanked the upright on a 35-yard attempt late in the half.

The teams went into the break with Ottawa still up 14-10.

Surely we’d see Brett Smith - the rookie gunslinger from Wyoming who’s gaining more and more Rider fans with every snap – in the second half, right?

Wrong.

Saskatchewan had six possessions in the second half and Sunseri quarterbacked them all. As the Riders fumbled the ball away time and again, as offensive linemen went down like flies and the Ottawa sacks mounted, it turned into an incredibly wretched display.

All the while, Smith stood stoicly on the Rider sidelines while clutching his helmet.

Definition of the word stoic: “a person who accepts what happens without complaining or showing emotion.”

We were assured in the broadcast booth that Smith was indeed not injured.

So why wouldn’t he come back into the game?

Obviously he represented the Riders’ best chance to win, no?

“There was a thought to putting him back in but things transpired that made it a moot point so we stuck with Tino,” Riders coach Corey Chamblin told 620 CKRM after the game. “I’ll leave it at that. It started temporary but ended up being longer than that.”

When asked again hours after the game, the Roughriders refused to reveal what “transpired” with Smith on the sidelines.

That’s fine. That opens the door for us to speculate.

And my guess is that Smith told off whoever made the decision to yank him from the game.

Could it have been offensive coordinator Jacques Chapdelaine or Chamblin himself? At this point, it doesn’t matter.

And, if true, how could you blame Smith? His defensive teammates were missing tackles left and right and early on gave the Riders no chance to win.

And Smith throws one interception and gets

pulled?

It would seem inexplicable, but then again no one can explain what’s gone so horribly wrong week-in and week-out in the worst Roughrider season in nearly 40 years.

“There was some good things in all phases but as a team we lost,” Chamblin shrugged afterwards.

“Not enough guys rose to the occasion to win this game.”

How many guys rising to the occasion is it going to take to win a game? You can’t fire 44 players but you can fire one coach and Chamblin was asked afterwards if he expects to be directing this football club in next week’s Labour Day Classic against Winnipeg Sunday at Mosaic Stadium.

“Every week I come into this whether we’re 8-2 or 0-9, the decision is never mine,” Chamblin said incredibly calmly. “I still come to work and do what I need to do. The decision doesn’t lie in my hands.”

Your guess is as good as mine as to whether or not he’s on the sidelines come Sunday.

bserved At The pow wow is not only an opportunity for First Nations people to gather and share their knowledge with each other; the communities also share their rich culture with non-First Nations people, as they are welcomed to the celebration. Veterans hold a place of honour at the pow wow and many dancers broke ranks during the Grand Entry to pause and pay their respects.

Friday, September 4, 2015

Bear Claw Casino Annual Pow Wow Staff photos by Lynne Bell The pow wow is both traditional and techically-advanced.

Bar codes are used for the dancers’ check-in and scoring systems are advanced. However, what remains unchanged is that pow wows are still viewed as sacred healing gatherings, rooted deep in tradition and First Nations spirituality.

Canada’s First Nations typically honour the veterans in their community, and White Bear is no exception, as veterans from the community marched during the Grand Entry each day of the pow wow and were applauded enthusiastically.

The pow wow is a community gathering and a family affair, and a tradition that includes all generations.

This year’s pow wow began with a stirring drum roll call as dignitaries and dancers entered the bandshell.

Irvin Alexson of Saskatchewan’s Kahkewisntahaw First Nation, near Broadview is a proud member of the Saskatchewan First Nations Veterans Association and a Canadian military veteran.

The Bear Claw Casino & Hotel’s Annual Pow Wow Celebration on Aug. 28, 29 and 30 was a visual spectacle full of colour, pageantry and sound that honoured First Nations culture, tradition and spirituality.

The pow wow attracted participants from First Nations communities throughout Saskatchewan, as well as from British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Arizona, Nebraska, North Dakota, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Utah. It is also a time for family reunions. Pictured belown are: (L-R) The Bear Claw Casino’s Janice Pelletier and family members Kayden Turner and Lindsay Seaton.

School back in session: a reminder for drivers to be alert

With youth back to school it is important for drivers to remember to be wary when driving through school zones.

Obeying traffic signs is important for the safety of everyone. Often drivers become upset over having to slow down while passing through school zones with speeds ranging from 25 km/hr in Arcola to 30 km/hr in Carlyle and Manor as examples.

Slowing down through these zones is extremely important as youth may be taught to look both ways before crossing the street; but, often young people may forget causing them to dart out into the street after a ball during recess or after school when they see their parents waiting at the car. Drivers need to be alert and prepared to stop for this reason.

The Observer calculated travel times across 200 metres of school zone at the recommend speed of 30 km/hr only takes 24 seconds. At 25 km/hr the same 200 metres takes 25 seconds, while 40 km/hr achieves a time of 18 seconds and 50 km/hr results in a time of 15 seconds.

In the grand scheme time differences between travelling 40 km/hr and 25km/hr is minimal, yet people often complain of having to slow down to such speeds through these zones. However, the difference in time it takes to stop could

mean a life. At 25 km/hr a vehicle will take three and a half metres to make a complete stop. While travelling 30 km/hr it takes a typical vehicle five metres to stop, at 40 km/hr it takes nine metres to stop, and 50 km/hr takes 14 metres to come to a complete stop. This information was obtained through the “Stopping Distance Calculator” on Forensic Dynamics Inc.’s website, which specializes in accident reconstructions. The calculator generates the approximate distance needed to stop based on speed and altered by road conditions.

When speaking with the Carlyle division of the RCMP, it was discovered that fines for speeding through a school zone begin at $190 and increase for every kilometre over the limit at double the usual rate.

In addition to needing to be aware while driving through school zones, it is necessary to practice diligence when approaching a school bus either loading or unloading students. When a school bus has its stop arm out and lights flashing drivers, approaching from either the rear or the opposite direction, must stop.

“The single greatest threat to the safety of children who ride school buses is motorists who pass the bus when children are loading and unloading,” the Saskatchewan Driver’s Handbook reads.

Instructions from the handbook follow stipulating youth are to stop at least five metres or 15 feet from the bus.

Vehicles are to remain stopped until the stop arm is retracted and the flashing lights are turned off.

Passing a school bus with its warning lights and stop arm out is considered a serious offence, which will result in a fine of $360 and comes with a loss of four points on your licence.

The only instance where people on the same road as the bus Archive photo may continue travelling is if the bus has stopped Drivers are reminded that school is back in session and RCMP stress the on a divided highway importance of road rules through not only school zones, but to always be and you are travelling in alert on the road.

the opposite direction, otherwise vehicles travelling behind are required to stop.

RCMP is also concerned with distracted driving, which often comes with drivers - whether high school students or parents - checking messages on their phones.

Fines for using an electronic communication device while driving are $280 and this comes with a loss of four points off of your licence.

In relation to driving while distracted, people are encouraged to ensure their children wear seatbelts. If they are moving around excessively in the car it can become a distraction to the driver as well.

Alida News

Maryfield Sunrise Villa News

Submitted by Edel Cowan

At this time we would like to wish the best of wishes to Joyce McKinna in her new residence. She has moved to Carnduff and making her home at the Sunset Haven.

Albert and Shelia Boutin are proud and pleased to welcome their first grandchild, Bill Lionel, who was born July 21, 2015, son of Colin and Meghan Boutin of Saskatoon. Proud first time aunties are Colin’s sisters Renee and Emma. They all attended the baby’s baptism in Saskatoon over the weekend (August 22-23). Congratulations to everyone.

Kara Junk and daughter Morgan arrived August 25 to send a few days visiting with her parents, Brenda and Gary Junk, her brother Jason, April and family, Aunt Gloria and Dave Ince and other family and friends in the area. She also visited with her grandparents Chic and Dot Girard in Redvers before returning home to Sylvan Lake August 29.

Spending some fun time together at the Kenosee Water Slides on Tuesday, August 25 were Diane and Sadie Potapinski, Charity, Mari and Shasta Lemieux, Shelly and Ainsley Cowan, Sheri, Cordelia and Keagan Patton, Ethan Junk, Stacey, Isabella and Everett Beriault, Trisha, Brooke, Kolton and Allie Schulhauser.

Congratulations to the Peet family who were lucky precipitants of the Grain Rush Meal (a free KFC meal for 12) from CJ 1150 on Thursday, August 27.

At this time I would like to extend sincerest condolences to George Rowley and family on the death of his wife, Fern on August 25, 2014. There was a graveside service on August 28 at the Manor Cemetery. George was the coach for the 14 and under hockey teams when players from the Alida area were playing with the Manor minor teams.

Murray Cowan arrived August 28 at the farm to visit with his parents, Gray and Edel, his brother Tim, Shelly and Ainsley, with John Cowan and he also helped out with some of the harvest. On Sunday, August 30 he and son Adam returned to Estevan.

Melynda Charles and daughters Lily and Amy

accompanied Shelly Cowan and Ainsley to spent some time (August 28-29) at the camper at the dam.

Lacie Nilsen (Calgary) was home to visit with her parents, Shelly and Tim Cowan and sister Ainsley on August 30. She had also spent a while visiting her sister Kelsey at Estevan before coming to Alida. Later on August 30 Lacie, Shelly and Ainsley travelled to Minot to visit with family members there, returning to Alida on August 31 and Lacie continued on her way back to Calgary.

We lucked out again this weekend (no rain) and the harvest is moving right along just fine, hopefully it will all continue to do so for another week or two and then I would imagine that the majority of the harvest would be completed. The garden is also coming to the end of its production year (I only plant enough for fresh vegetables for the season).

I’ve had lots of tomatoes and they are continuing to ripen on the vine, carrots are good, peas have been good as well. Corn was so-so, had a few good feeds, but the cobs were about half their usual size however still tasted good. Now for the pumpkins, (only 5 or 6) but they are huge, the watermelons are plentiful and they too are huge, and the cantaloupe are also numerous and becoming a good size as well. The potatoes are good, fair size and good amount in each hill. However I had a crop failure with my beets and cucumbers but then can’t have success all the time.

Have you been watching the Blue Jays? Now they are sure moving up in their standings and maybe there may be a first place finish for them.

Now as for our Riders – well what we can say (not much) – guess it’s going to be a next year team for them. Their standing now is 9 – 0 and the next game is on Sunday, September 6 against Winnipeg.

It’s the usual Labour Day Classic game – Go Riders Go. We are into another new month now on Tuesday – September – and it is also the beginning of another school year – Good luck to all the students for a very successful academic year.

On Saturday the family of Freda Longman celebrated her birthday: daughter Linda and husband Bill Mulligan from Elkhorn, MB, grandson Chris Mulligan from Winnipeg, granddaughter Laura and husband Jeff Coure with their children, Hayden and Madgelyn from Okotokes, AB sisterin-law Merle Dayman from Windthorst and many nephews and nieces from Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta and many friends, as well sister Ruth Longman from the Villa. Happy Birthday Freda from the staff and tenants at the Villa. Happy Birthday to Janet from everybody at the Villa as well.

John and Mary Mark Ockerbloom, Anne and Matthew of Philadelphia spent a week at the farm with Philip Mark. Janet Mark went back and forth from the Villa. On Thursday they visited the Atelier Estate Art Gallery at the old Maryfiield hospital.

Aug. 21 was Janet’s 91st birthday party at Sunrise Villa. Other guests were cousin Jocelyn Hainsworth and longtime friends, Betty Ruth and Clarence Purvis of Redvers.

Jack and Betty Lemoine from Moosomin came to visit Edith Gagnon.

On Friday Emile and Albert Domosiai from Vancouver came to visit their sister, Rose Farkas.

Clive Sauer from Whitewood came too and brought her guitar and sang. He is a good friend of the family.

On Aug. 25 United Church ladies, Charlotte Kovach, Helen Aulie and Ruth Gray came and sang and Janet Mark played the piano.

Cathy Horbas from St. Paul, MB came to visit Janet.

Norman Oliver came to visit his mother Pat Oliver.

Jos and Shirley Blaise, Therese Lamontagne, Ruth Holmstrom came to visit Alice and Aileen and the rest at the Villa.

Lois and Edward made awesome scones that everyone enjoyed.

Obituaries

The Disability Tax Credit $2,000 Yearly Tax Credit

After a tiring battle with cancer, Fern Rowley, a devoted wife, mother, sister and friend, died on August 25, 2015 in Arcola Hospital at the age of 73.

She leaves behind her husband, George Rowley; her sons, Leonard, Wade (Lisa), Mark (Norma) and Scott Rowley.

Fern was born on August 16, 1942 in Parkman, SK, on the farm to father Holly and mother Vera Smyth who predeceased her. She grew up in a, loving family with one sister and four brothers.

Fern married George on May 13, 1961. She committed her life to her family. She loved her ower gardens, trees and the sounds of the birds. Fern and George built a life together with their four boys that they are very proud of. A marriage that grew stronger over the years and a love that can never be taken away.

When diagnosed with lung cancer in 2006, she amazed her family, friends and doctors in her will to ght her illness. She remained brave, determined to win until it became undefeatable.

Fern is survived by her husband and children, as well as her sisters, Gaye (Wiggins) and; her brothers, Hugh and Grant Smyth; her grandchildren, Salena, William, Katelynn, Devan; great grandchildren, Emyliah and Oliver and nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents; her brothers Glen and Milt Smyth; her daughter Loretta, who died in infancy and her sister-in-law Deb Symth.

Fern requested to be cremated. Her ashes will be buried at the Manor Cemetery along with a graveside service for the family. The family would especially like to thank Doctor Salim with the Allan Blair Cancer Clinic, and a special thank you to Doctor Dennis Jones for his tireless effort in locating her cancer. Fern also had many other caring doctors and nurses at both the Pasqua Hospital in Regina and the Arcola Hospital for their constant, attentive treatment; and the Orstead Funeral Home, for making the arrangements. In lieu of owers, please send a donation to The National Lung Cancer Foundation.

Forever In Your Heart Feel no guilt in laughter She knows how much you care Feel no sorrow in a smile That she’s not here to share You cannot grieve forever She would not want you to She’d hope that you would carry on The way you always do So talk about the good times And the ways you showed you cared The days you spent together All the happiness you shared Let memories surround you A word someone might say Will suddenly recapture A time, an hour, a day That brings her back as clearly As though she was still here And lls you with the feelings That say she’s always near For if you keep those moments You will never be apart And they will live forever Safely locked within your heart

I don’t know the answer

By Linda Wegner There are some days when I simply don’t have any answers. To those who know me best, that may seem highly improbable but it’s true. And, I suspect, it applies to many of you as well.

Moving from the foolish to the serious, here are some examples of “life’s unanswered questions” someone posted online: Why does a round pizza come in a square box? If a person owns a piece of land, do they own it to the centre of the earth? I won’t go on so relax….but between you and me, those queries are not worth spending time on.

On the other hand, some of life’s challenges cry out for an explanation. For starters, here’s one that I’ve never been able to explain: Why am I a longterm cancer survivor while others succumb to the disease before they’ve had the opportunity to really live? I don’t know. What I do know, however, is that I have learned to despise “easy answers”.

In chatting with a good friend this afternoon, the deteriorating health of a mutual friend was part of the conversation and I told her of my reluctance to publicly celebrate the upcoming twenty-third anniversary of being cancer-free in light of his condition. Without weighing in with theological justification she urged me to celebrate both lives because we are promised healing - whether here or in the immediate presence of the Lord.

“And when this perishable puts on the imperishable and this that was capable of dying puts on freedom from death, then shall be fulfilled the Scripture that says, Death is swallowed up (utterly vanquished forever) in and unto victory.” (I Corinthians 15:54, Amplified Version) Why are dandelions considered weeds and daisies are considered flowers? I don’t know but this is certain: we have everything to live for and everything to die for.

Kennedy/Langbank News Submitted by Doreen Cancade

Seems to me the fall season is fast approaching us. Our yard is very quiet-the purple martins left us about two weeks ago and there are very few other birds visiting.

The gardens have been producing very well this fall. Graham and Denise Munro are now living in Kennedy and the first thing they did was bring some delicious corn in to share with residents in Kennedy. Graham says it is best people get to eat it before the raccoons get their fill. Mind you a number of people have been sharing garden and fruit with a lot of us.

Don and Alice Cox enjoyed a trip to Alberta and B.C. from Aug. 13 - 23. They visited with their daughter, Susan and family, in Calgary and their son Doug and family at Crows Nest Pass, BC.

Dean and Doreen Gardner and all their family travelled to the Resort near Nakusp, BC for a yearly get-together the weekend of Aug. 15th, the smoke was not great and the water had gone down, but other activities were enjoyed by all, especially playing ball.

Valerie and Ashley Daku of Saskatoon spent the weekend of August 22nd to 26th visiting with Iola Smyth, Murray and Leila Smyth, and Violet Daku. They also had a visit with Uncle Bob and Kate, Uncle George and Lorraine, Uncle Jim and Amaret.
