Fun at the fair Arcola Antique Ag Daze a success Kelly Running Observer Staff

It was a community come together on Sunday, July 3, with the Arcola Antique Ag Daze hosting another great success. “It was a very good day,” Al Fletcher with the Arcola Fair and Stampede Society explained. “We missed the rain and had very good attendance, and a good turnout for both the tractor pull and horse pull. The day began with a pancake breakfast in the morning followed at 10:30 a.m. with the parade along Main Street. The parade was dotted with a large crowd along both Main Street and Balmoral Ave. as the floats made their way to the fair grounds. Kids flocked to the candy tossed from the floats and waved eagerly to each coming parade participant. The day then moved into action at the fairgrounds with a car show hosted at the rink. “The day went really well, a lot of people were saying the parade was really good, and there were a lot of people along the way,” Brian Crump with the Arcola Fair and Stampede Society stated. “The Show ‘N Shine was down a little bit this year, but with the threat of rain a lot of those guys don’t want to risk their car. But overall it was a great day.” Later in the day the Prairie Place Hall was used for the supper and Saskatchewan Express performances. Also found on the fairgrounds was a quilt show and various exhibits, including a display on brick making which is part of the town’s heritage. Freitag’s Petting Zoo was on hand for kids to enjoy with chickens, goats, a pig, and more to pet and learn about. The heavy horse pull and antique tractor pull both drew crowds who were impressed by the abilities of each. The slo-pitch tournament hosted four teams and drew a sporadic crowd throughout the day. John Davies Jr. held his title as the pie eating champion.

Aird Romich with Ponderosa Forge in Swift Current was back to Arcola Antique Ag Daze to showcase black smithing. Returning this year were also demonstrations including threshing, the stationary bailer, rope making, and blacksmithing demos. This year Aird Romich of Ponderosa Forge in Swift Current not only came to showcase blacksmithing, but he helped youth hammer their own small novelties, which was a hit. “The day went very well; we had upwards of 1,000 people attending throughout the day including adults and kids,” Autumn Downey with the Arcola Fair and Stampede Society explained.

BIG

“Everyone looked like they were happy and having a good time; the kids in particular were really enjoying all that the day had to offer.” The day finished with a delicious meal created by David and Shelley Slykhuis as the second performance of Sask Express began following supper. Finally the finishing touches of the day were fireworks and cupcakes in celebration of Canada Day, which was on the Friday before the event. “The town holding off on the fireworks until Ag Daze finished the day off nicely,” Crump said.

Best Foods to Pack for the Beach Packing food for a picnic in the park is pretty easy. But when your picnic happens to be on the beach, there’s a new set of rules and a few more factors to consider before ﬁlling your basket or cooler. For starters, there’s the sand. It’s totally obvious, but no matter how hard you plan and how many precautions you take, it inevitably ends up everywhere. Including your sandwich. There’s also the wind — the beach can be breezy, which means that sand and salt swirl around, attaching themselves to anything that’s remotely sticky, wet, or, let’s face it, edible. Keep that in mind the next time you’re packing up for a day at the beach, and remember that even when you have a cooler, some foods hold up better than others. Of course you can always pack the basics, like crackers, chips, nuts, and dried fruit, but it’s good to have something a little more substantial.

8 Foods to Pack for a Day at the Beach 1. Wraps I always opt for wraps over regular sandwiches when packing lunch for a day at the beach. For one, it’s just fun to coil things up in a tortilla or collard leaf. But more importantly, when the ﬁllings are tucked away on the inside, they’re better protected — plus wraps are easy to eat with one hand. 2. Fried chicken The only thing better than hot and crispy fried chicken, is leftover cold fried chicken the next day. Especially when that “next day” happens to be at the beach. Fried chicken is a summer staple; it holds up well in a cooler, and it’s pretty easy to eat without getting mouthfuls of sand. 3. Skewers Because food on skewers is always more fun! Whether you go for fruit, veggies, or meat, kabobs make great beach fare. This is a hands-oﬀ (read, sand-free!) meal that’s utensil-free and easy to eat, with even easier cleanup.

4. Whole fruit As much as I love fresh cut-up fruit, sandy ﬁngers diving in and out of the bowl puts a big damper on the party. Whole fruit is much more suited to a day at the beach. Peaches, nectarines, apples, and grapes all make a sweet choice.

7. Lettuce wraps These may seem overly complicated, but this is our suggestion in lieu of a salad. Wrap up some chopped vegetables or other components in big, oversized leaves of iceberg lettuce. Then wrap in foil, so you can just peel it back and eat.

5. Couscous or pasta salad I’ve had a lot of experience with these two, and they tend to hold up well in the heat. Also, even if a few grains of sand make their way in, they’ll easily get lost in a jumble of couscous; you might not even notice.

8. Cookies Don’t forget dessert! Cookies are a simple ﬁnger food to curb your post-lunch sweet tooth. You won’t hear me say this often, but it’s probably best to skip anything chocolate to avoid a melty mess.

6. Charcuterie True, cheese and salami might not be great choices if you’re going to be out for hours in the heat of the mid-afternoon. But if you’re eating right away or going at sunset, these bites are easy to pack, require no assembly, and can be eaten without utensils.

Bear Claw Casino staff contributes $1,120 to Carlyle & District Food Bank Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Two separate fundraisers held by the staff of White Bear’s Bear Claw Casino have resulted in a $1,120 donationto the Carlyle & District Food Bank--- and according to chairperson Mavis James, it couldn’t have come at a better time. “This generous donation from the casino staff is really great, because our shelves are a little bare right now,” says James. “We currently have triple the amount of hampers going out right now, compared to what we usually do.” “Christmas is our busiest time as far as donations coming in,” adds James. “But the need is year-round and we welcome any and all contributions. And in summer, things really slow down for us donation-wise.” “Food can be dropped off at the Carlyle Co-op store and if you’re grocery shopping, even donating a can of soup every time you shop makes a difference.” “Donations can also be dropped off at the Carlyle United Church on certain days, or contact any member of the Carlyle & District Food Bank and we’ll arrange something.” “With the oil activity down, our need has grown and some of our big donations are down, so the support of the staff at the Bear Claw is especially appreciated.” Bear Claw Casino Senior Operations Manager, Brennan Dickson says: “It’s something we kind of put together for the Food Bank. Our chef, Leo Alcock makes an excellent dessert-Saskatoon berry bannock. We sold it over the May long weekend with this in mind, because we knew it would be one of our busier weekends.’ “We also had a dunk tank where staff could donate to dunk a manager. That went over well, too,” he says, smiling.

We currently have triple the amount of hampers going out right now, compared to what we usually do.” “We really wanted to initiate something to try and help out a bit and hopefully, we can do it again,” adds Dickson. “And I’d really like to thank

all of our staﬀ volunteers who came out.” For more information, contact Mavis James at (306)-455-2553.

Marlee Cormier named to national team Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Although she won’t complete the final steps towards earning her black belt until September, 17-year-old karate competitor Marlee Cormier of Carlyle has already competed nationally as a member of Team Saskatchewan and now, as a member of the Sintani Wado Kai Karate Federation National Team, will compete for Canada internationally in Tokyo in 2016 and in Las Vegas in 2017. “I found out I’d made the (national) team from a group email. I was definitely shocked and really honoured,” says Cormier. “It was really exciting and kind of a relief, because tryouts were so hard.” Tryouts for national team contenders from Western Canada took place in Calgary from May 13-15. Cormier says the three-day exercise was gruelling, but she surprised herself with what she achieved personally. “On the first day, it was all fitness-pushups, flex testing and more,” she says. “On day two, we did both kata and kumite. Kata is a sequence of movements you perform individually and kumite is basically fighting.” “With kumite, they switched you around so everyone fought against every single person there. That’s about 15 different people you’re fighting. It’s a hard enough workout that we were stopped every two minutes for water, Gatorade and an orange slice.” “On the final day, they held a miniature tournament under competition conditions,” adds Cormier. “For me, the second day was definitely my strongest day, which really surprised me because it was the hardest workout and it went on for so long.” “Before competition, I always feel a mixture of calm and excitement,” she says. “I’m a little jumpy and nervous, almost, but once I start, I calm down. But in kumite, if someone scores a point against me, them the adrenaline takes over. Normally, after a fight, that adrenaline rush is hard to calm down.”

Marlee Cormier, 17 (centre) is pictured on the podium. Cormier has competed at Canadian Karate Nationals as part of Team Saskatchewan, and as a newly-minted member of the Sintani Wado Kai Karate Federation Team, she’ll compete for Canada internationally in Tokyo in 2016 and in Las Vegas in 2017.

Seventeen-year-old Marlee Cormier has been named to the Sintani Wado Kai Karate Federation National Team. Pictured right, competing at the Canadian Karate Nationals in Vancouver as a member of Team Saskatchewan, the brown belt competitor has been involved in karate since she was “five or six-years-old and will now be spending weekends travelling to Calgary to train in preparation for international competitions in Tokyo, Japan in 2016 and Las Vegas in 2017. Cormier says making the national team left her, “Definitely shocked and really honoured.” Cormier says competing in Vancouver at the Karate Nationals in January 2016 as part of the first team Saskatchewan has ever sent to Nationals was an invaluable experience. “To be a part of Team Saskatchewan and to represent the province was really cool. The entire experience was completely amazing and it really was a once-in-a-lifetime moment to compete at the Olympic Oval and seeing the Olympic rings was incredible,” she says. “That, and when the provincial flags were marched in... For me, I looked back to where I was when I first started and all of the hours I put in.” “But it’s never finished,” she says. “Every year, members of the national team have to compete for their spot, because each year, they look for a different skill set out of you. I try to eat as healthily as I can and I train at home. I do a lot of fitness and I work to keep my cardio up the best I can, because karate takes a lot of endurance. I work on my flexibility, too.” A member of the Moose Mountain Wado Kai Karate Club-based in Carlyle-Cormier’s interest in the sport began at an early age. “When I first started karate, I was five or six-years-old,” says Cormier. “My cousin was in it, and that’s how I first became interested. Once I started, I kept going and slowly as I went up, it became more competitive. I constantly pushed myself harder and harder and I pushed my limits to see how far I could go.” “It didn’t take long for me to realize that I enjoy karate. I didn’t even think about it; it just became something that I kept doing.” “I’m a brown belt now, but because I started so young, I went through every single rank and stripe. It took me a long time to get my brown

belt. I waited tot up. Sensei Jayson (Humphries) didn’t want me to get hurt, because I was young and tiny.” “Before that, I had a purple belt for two years. To finally get my brown belt was amazing, definitely. I’ve passed black belt pre-grading and I go for my black belt this September or October.” In addition to the competitions in Tokyo and Las Vegas, Cormier will spend many weekends in Calgary while training as part of the national team. “I’ve already missed a lot of Fridays,” she says. “And on a lot of Mondays, I’m present, but I’m not really present,” she smiles. “But my teachers have been so helpful and they’ve really been understanding about my schedule. I owe them a big thank you.” “Karate has taught me a lot-self-defense, selfdiscipline and respect are so important and all of the senseis have taught me those things,” adds Cormier. “And they also each have their own way of teaching karate, so all of those different variations are things that I’ve learned and that have helped me get to this point.” “My parents never pushed me, but they’ve always supported me,” she says. “They let me go at my own pace, helped me along the way and when I went through a phase of thinking I might quit, they helped me through that phase.” “And my friends all know how important (karate) is to me and support me through.” When asked if competing at the Olympic level is in her plans, Cormier simply says: “Karate’s constantly in my head and I can’t imagine not sticking with it. It would be amazing to compete in the Olympics, but I’ll just keep on competing and see where it goes.”

bond over a common cause against a shared nemesis. “Don’t you believe

in legends?” Such a simple question, yet what Sacri really wants Alex to believe is that he is the hero from her legends. A hero meant to save land sacred to her tribe. Alex is a lot of things. He’s a painter, a sculptor, and a dreamer. He has just been fired from a good job, grieves for a woman he hoped to marry, and is known as the local drunk. He’s terrified of fire, of losing his friend, and of being alone. He is a lot of things, but hero isn’t one of them. Travelling across the country in 1892 to settle land on an unexplored part of the prairies, he hopes to find himself, to find a reason for his pitiful existence, and to have one last adventure with his dying friend. What he actually finds in the heart of the lonesome prairies is Sacri, defending land with her very soul. She believes he is the Man of Legends sent to save Sacred Land. Her determination entrances him. Despite himself, Alex finds himself praying to a God that he thought had abandoned him, in the hope that, just maybe, there is some truth to Sacri’s stories. To add to Alex’s unease is the certainty that Sacri’s brother, often merely glimpsed as a silver shadow riding his horse across the horizon, will happily kill Alex if he turns out not

It’s a story about how the goodness in a person’s heart can overcome cultural division and social stigma, which is even more remarkable for having occurred in 1892. You don’t need to have read Ghosts on the Prairies to be charmed, moved and ultimately inspired by this book.” Legends on the Prairies, a Sacred Land Story will be published in digital formats in August 2016 and in paperback in November 2016.

92 riders enjoy trails at Moose Mountain Trail Riders’ 29th annual outing Submitted Thursday, June 16, there was a hum of excitement in the air as the grassy plain south of Saskairie’s main site was transformed into a nomad’s camp. By early evening, the big tent was up, horses were picketed out and eager trail riders were gathering around the campfire. The Moose Mountain Trail Riders’ 29th Annual Ride was about to begin. With 92 people registering, this was the largest ride we have hosted in many years. They came from as far away as Winnipeg and Lac du Bonnet, MB., Calgary, AB, and Prince Albert. This many riders presented new and interesting challenges for the guides but the results were well worth their efforts as there were many compliments about the ride. Over the weekend, led by trail boss Doug Ilchuck, young and old took to the trails on the southern edge of the Moose Mountain Park. The trails took the riders through open pastures, busy coulees, along hay trails, and around muddy sloughs in the park as well as along the crest of hills where they were treated to some spectacular views of the surrounding prairies. The conditions were ideal for the ride. With music echoing in the clearing, numerous door prizes (provided by local businesses) were presented, tall tales aplenty were told around the campfire, excellent meals, and fantastic trailis were enjoyed by everyone over the weekend. As always, there were several forms of fundraising taking place, but unique this year was ‘the haircut.’ Nora needed a haircut and was convinced to let the riders decide how short it would be – the more money raised the shorter the cut. A curve was added when the right to choose the hairdresser and her assistant was auctioned off. “That was when I really got nervous, especially when they started talking razors and soap. Thankfully, only my shirt collar had nicks in it and the money raised will help us keep our registration costs down so families can continue to afford to ride with us,” Nora Weightman, organizer, explained. After the final meal on Sunday, the campers were packed, horses loaded, farewells exchanged and a weary but happy group of riders headed home. The big tent was taken down, the area cleaned, and Saskairie was once again returned to nature.

SUMMER SAVINGS Rider Insider A Rider fan named “Jenny” came up with a very interesting, yet simple question regarding Saskatchewan’s 30-17 loss to the Toronto Argonauts in Thursday’s last-ever season-opening game at the old Mosaic Stadium. “In one word, what did you think of the game?” she quizzed me on Twitter @rodpedersen on Friday. I can’t even remember what my initial response was – and maybe I should’ve gone with that – but after about 10 seconds of thought, I settled on the term “disappointing”. The Online Dictionary’s definition of disappointing is: “failing to fulfill someone’s hopes or expectations”. Yeah, that about covers it. My expectation was that the Saskatchewan Roughriders – after six months of ballyhooed hype with the sweeping new Chris Jones regime – would storm their home field and eke out a close victory over Ricky Ray and the Toronto Argonauts. Instead, the Roughriders shot themselves in the foot just enough times to come away with a double-digit loss.

Quote of the Week . . . “Laughter is an instant vacation.”

- Milton Berle

Thoughts that developed because of a shirt

It took me awhile to decide whether or not to write about this topic… and I finally decided I would give my opinion. I don’t mean to cause offense or upset anyone with it… but it was an odd feeling I had regarding a simple shirt, which caused me to question myself. I have a long sleeve shirt Kelly Running and I really like it, but I felt like Observer Staff I shouldn’t wear it. Why would I have a moral dilemma over wearing a shirt? Because the shirt has an image of a lion and a First Nations warrior reading, “Head of a warrior, heart of a lion,” underneath. My mind started running and it raced to: would someone be offended that I decided to wear it? I recognize that in our society I have been born into a large amount of privilege. And as someone with that privilege I want to be sure that I am using that to be an ally and support my fellow Canadians that were not born with the same advantages. The First Nations people that I have met throughout my life have been wonderful and the First Nations leaders I have learned about like Tecumseh and Sitting Bull were strong leaders who fought for their beliefs. First Nations are a strong people who honour their heritage and ancestors, I feel blessed to have learned about, even a little bit of, their culture and hope that they continue to share it with me and others. It’s a beautiful outlook on life and the world. I respect First Nations people and their culture, and I liked the shirt because of what I have learned about First Nations culture. Despite tragedies to their people, they remain strong and grounded in their culture and who they are… even through Canada attempting to eliminate it in the ‘60s with residential schools. I personally don’t know all of my ancestry. My great-grandpa was adopted and I’ve been told he came up from the States, but it’s fuzzy after that. My last name was apparently different before that part of the family crossed from Europe. I have literally a hodge podge of European ancestry on my dad’s side and to be honest I don’t know what it all is, then on my mom’s side, my grandparents emigrated from the Netherlands when they were old enough following World War II. I have been taught, however, that the atrocities of the past are part of me as someone who is privileged and this is where my moral dilemma and an internal conflict surrounding the shirt developed. I don’t want to offend, but at the same time it wasn’t me that caused the hurt that has endured. But I am privileged and thus have been taught to be sensitive of my actions, which is why I decided in the end to write this column. Ultimately, I wore the shirt because I feel it is a celebration of First Nations culture; I’m not wearing it as a gimmick or in a way that is intended to dehumanize an entire group of people – as discussions surrounding mascots of sports teams was brought up recently. I see people as people and I don’t discount that many cultures and peoples were taken advantage of, were abused, killed, and degraded. Not just First Nations or African Americans, there were internment camps for Japanese during WWII in Canada, and many other incidents throughout history. I don’t want to make light of any of that because it is all relevant; but I personally see people as people, and I decided to wear that shirt because my intentions are not malicious. As I said above, to me, it depicts First Nations as strong people. And that’s the thing we’re all just people. If you’re a jerk, then I probably just won’t associate with you although I’ll still be cordial; but, if you’re kind then in turn I’ll be kind. My life’s view is a combination of the golden rule, “do unto others as you would have done unto you,” and the idea of karma; you get what you put out into the world.

It walked like a duck It was a headline that caught the eye because I was sure I’d initially read it wrong: Motorcycle and duck collide. Thinking it might be an opinion piece trying to capture attention for an animal rights issue, instead it was a news item from the June 17 edition of The Whitewood Herald. A group of eight motorcyclists were heading north on highway 9 when a duck was spooked by the first Shelley Luedtke bike in the group. The duck then collided with the second biker who lost control and crashed. Whitewood EMS and Fire and Rescue attended the scene and the driver was stabilized and taken to a local hospital with non lifethreatening chest injuries. I would imagine the group had put thousands of kilometres on their bikes over the years. They would have had insurance and an itinerary. What they couldn’t have planned for was the moment a duck began to make its way across the highway causing just enough of an obstacle to set off an unanticipated chain reaction. A little thing turning into a big thing. A little thing creating bigger problems. A little thing causing unpredictable ripples. We seem to be a bit unsure of how to view little things. On one hand we tell ourselves “don’t sweat the small stuff”, a saying to help us keep the bigger context in mind and not get tied up in less important little things. Yet we then are reminded “the devil is in the details” referring to how important it is to take care of the smaller points to prevent potential failure. So which is it? When the Canadian penny was being phased out, many charities encouraged individuals to collect the rather insignificant coins and combine theirs with other donors. The pennies, though little in value, added up to significant amounts when many smaller efforts came together. Habitat for Humanity Canada set the goal of collecting the lowly penny to build 69 mighty homes. I was in line behind a man at a gathering where a buffet table of potluck items had been set up. When

he saw an item that interested him he would put a little bit on his plate and sample it before scooping up more or moving on to the next thing. I couldn’t help being annoyed--and fascinated--all at the same time. He was taste testing everything; ensuring he was okay with a little before committing to taking on more. Some of our global neighbours find themselves in an unusual situation where a little turned into a lot. They were given the chance to express a vote and the results surprised many. Convinced their little vote would be a signal of protest but the status quo would remain, things turned out differently than expected. The power of a little vote, when combined with the power of all the other little votes, is a force for change. A note of caution to all of us--it is not to be underestimated. Small things like a coin, a new food, a vote, or even a duck can put us on a different trajectory than planned. The details affect the bigger picture. It might be easy to dismiss the little things as insignificant but how wrong that is. The little things are the impetus, the starting blocks, and the point of origin for bigger things to follow--for bigger ideas to be embraced--for bigger change to occur. There are examples to follow, but herein lies the power of those little things. We can laugh along at racist or insulting humour and say it is only in fun or we can stand up against it. We can view degrading images and call it entertainment or we can make other choices. We can indulge our lifestyle and excesses and live like we are entitled or we can share more of what we have. Because in the end, there are no little ideas or little initiatives. Every thought we hold, every word we speak, and every action in which we participate has an impact--an impact on our own lives as well as all those who see, hear and follow our lead. So-called little things, intentionally or unintentionally, always lead to bigger things. We wield quite the force. The encouraging news--as well as the sobering reality--is that those little things are exactly what each and every one of us can do. The little things are within our care--and are our responsibility. The little things are under our control--and within our reach. Those little things are a big deal. That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

The Science of Superstition: The Case of Courtroom 13 Recently and real-statewise, a courthouse in Saint John, New Brunswick did what hotels usually do-dispensed with the number 13. That is, just like there’s no elevator button for floor 13 in most (all?) commercial hostelries; there is now no Courtroom 13 in the Saint John Law Lynne Bell Courts. Observer Staff Instead, the former Courtroom 13 is now Courtroom 14. Since the building opened three years ago, some superstitious citizens voiced concerns about the shiny new Courtroom 13, complaining that it “felt unlucky” although the city’s Regional Director of Court Services, Don Higgins stated there weren’t any particular complaints about Courtroom 13, other than it giving some people “a bad vibe.” Higgins told The Canadian Press: “People only come here once or twice in their lives, so we’re hoping to make it easier. We didn’t do any investigation or analysis to see how many people it impacted. It was an easy fix.” Changing the former Courtroom 13’s sign came in at less than $100 and according to Higgins, all other references to the courtroom’s number were easy-and inexpensive- to change, because they’re online. Citing other courthouse-related concerns, Higgins told CP that going to court is a highly stressful experience for most people and in addition to Courtroom 13’s number change, court officials have addressed other issues, such as sightlines, noise in some rooms, and more. “Right from the beginning, we were working the kinks out,” he explained. “I don’t think the engineers who put the (building) together gave (the number 13) much thought.” Higgins stated that he’s not superstitious, “but if there’s anything you can do to remove these distractions...” Higgins’ statements are imbued with both compassion and common sense. Changing Courtroom 13’s number to something more palatable to some folks-no matter which side of the law they’re on-was an easy, inexpensive, and quick fix. And probably, the number of complaints received by his department decreased, too. However, if the courts were to accomodate everyone’s quirks and/or phobias, the wheels of justice would grind even more slowly than they already do and fairness and neutrality would be tainted by the law of the land succumbing to superstition. Saint John’s Court Services department made a sensible and efficient call on this one, but it cannot become the norm. Canada’s courts have a big job to do-and pandering to the perceived discomfort of a few must not become a permanent part of their mandate.

Lucky or unlucky: The number 13 still holds sway In tall buildings there’s never a 13th floor and in motels, hospitals, and airports you’ll be hard pressed to find a room or gate 13. Why? Apparently it goes all the way back to the Code of Hammurabi, according to the History Channels website. The Code of HammuKelly Running rabi reportedly skips over Observer Staff the 13th law within its legal rules, but this has to do with poor translating as the code isn’t even listed numerically. In the ancient world, Sumerians developed a number system based on the “perfect” number in their world, 12. In fact 12 is still a number that we use: 12-inches in a foot, a day is two 12-hour half days, a year is 12 months, etc… So 13 became a number that was imperfect, it was lacking and with two ancient events playing into it, the superstition was born. The ancient events being that the biblical Judas was the 13th guest to arrive at the Last Supper and in Norse mythology evil and treachery were introduced to the world by the mischievous god Loki who was also the 13 th guest to a dinner party upsetting the perfect number of 12. However, in some cultures like the Ancient Egyptians and amongst First Nations, it’s a lucky number. I was once told that a hawk with 13 tail feathers is a good omen,

they’re rare, most have 12, but if it has 13, then it is special. In much of the world people are now calling 13 their lucky number, like pop star Taylor Swift. In Asia 13 isn’t a bad omen, but the number four is, apparently the pronunciation of “four” is quite similar to the word “death” in various Asian languages. So, why in 2016 are we renaming a courtroom? Courtroom 13 in Saint John, New Brunswick, has taken down the sign for Courtroom 13 and replaced it with Courtroom 14. According to Don Higgins, regional director of court services in Saint John, as he told the Free Press, going to court is stressful and eliminating an extra stressor like being in Courtroom 13 for those who fear the number is bad luck. Additionally there were never any complaints, but people simply said it emitted a bad vibe… but this seems ridiculous to me. Apparently the old courthouse which was built in the 1820s in Saint John, before moving to the new one where room 13 was just changed to 14, housed a gallows and was believed to be haunted… I feel like that would give off way worse vibes than a room 13, but I digress. The cost to replace the sign was less than $100, so I guess they didn’t spend an inordinate amount of money on something that seems quite trivial to me because at the end of the day the room may say 14… it’s still technically the 13th courtroom in the courthouse.

The Big Moose a hit

The Carlyle Cardinals hosted their annual July long weekend tournament, July 1-3. With four pools of three teams, a total of 12 teams from across Saskatchewan were out to compete in Carlyle and Kenosee. This included the host team of Carlyle, Swift Current, Estevan Midgets, Stallions, Regina A’s, Estevan, Marysburg, Carnduff, Beulah, Outlaws, Arm River, and Redvers. Teams began playing at 1 p.m. in Carlyle with the Swift Current Marlins taking on the Carlyle Cardinals. Saturday, July 2, was another great day for ball as teams faced off against each other to determine placements in their pools. Playoffs were held on Sunday, July 3, with Arm River and the Stallions landing a spot in the BFinal, while Swift Current and Saskatoon met in the A-Final. In the end the Saskatoon team earned the win and the prize money with a score of 14-4. Swift Current seemed to have difficulty on the mound, while the Saskatoon team was place hitting for runs. Overall it was a great weekend for ball and many fans of the game enjoyed matches throughout the weekend, including a home run derby hosted at Kenosee on Saturday night.

I posed Jenny’s question to listeners of our Canada Day edition of the SportsCage on 620 CKRM and we got a wide variety of responses. They included the words ‘encouraging’, ‘optimistic’, ‘patience’, and ‘determined’. However the term that was used the most by the Rider Nation was ‘expected’. That one was a surprise. To me anyway. I never expected the Saskatchewan Roughriders would lose that game, nor did long-time Rider player and management-type Jeremy O’Day who joined us on the radio and answered my “one word” query. “Disappointing,” offered O’Day, mirroring my mindset. “It’s always disappointing when you lose, especially when it’s your home-opener. You want to get off to a good start and unfortunately we were unable to make enough plays and avoid the mistakes you need to to win a game. “As most of the games are, they come down to three or four plays that decide them and that’s what happened to us.” Those three plays specifically? 1) A 57-yard punt return by Toronto’s Larry Taylor to the Rider 5-yard line on only the game’s fourth play, 2) A 56-yard touchdown reception by Toronto’s Vidal Hazelton on just their second series putting the Argos up 14-0 and 3) A 27-yard “scoop and score” by Toronto safety Matt Black after a fumble by back-up Rider quarterback Bryant Moniz - which put the Argos up 21-7 late in the second quarter. That’s it. Three plays! And it call came in the home debut of an almost entirely new roster and completely new coaching staff. Perhaps that’s why so many in the Rider Nation expected this team to fall in their Week 1 game; it was just too soon to expect perfection given all the moving parts. In truth, I was mildly shocked at how positive everyone has been beginning with the postgame call-in analysts on CKRM Radio Thursday night followed by all of the fans I’ve spoken with in the days since the

game. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Whatever that means. However I’ve got this nagging feeling of what last year’s braintrust (Taman/Chamblin or O’Day/Dyce) would’ve been subjected to had they lost a game by that same sliver of three plays. They’d be rioting in the streets around here and calling for heads to roll! But not one year later. And that’s because, apparently, Rider Priders are willing to allow Chris Jones the time to bring his plan together. Some are even saying it’ll take six or nine games for this symphony to be conducted perfectly, however I fear this club could be out of the running if it takes that long. Will they be in tune enough by this Friday when they visit the Grey Cup-champion Eskimos in the first real return of Chris Jones to Commonwealth Stadium? It’s doubtful. And for that reason, I’m taking the Esks in our pick pool. And finally, as they’re building this Roughriders team over the summer, they’re going to have to do it without the services of defensive stalwart Shawn Lemon who was granted his trade request over the weekend. The Akron product and 6-year CFL veteran was shipped to the Argos on Saturday for quarterback Mitchell Gale and offensive lineman Matt Sewell. Apparently Lemon was upset over his playing time and the fact he got only 10 plays in Thursday’s game compared to his defensive line counterparts Jonathan Newsome (35), Justin Capicciotti (32) and A.C. Leonard (30). Are the rats fleeing the ship? Hardly. However it’s abundantly clear that Chris Jones is a “My Way or The Highway” kind of guy and if you’re not on board, you’re welcome to get off at anytime. So Shawn Lemon did. Who’s next?

COUNTDOWN TO CANADA’s 150TH

51 CANADA: NATURAL SOURCE OF PRIDE SINCE 1867

Canada’s stellar spaceage debut: Alouette 1 On September 29, 1962, Canada made history by becoming the first non-American, non-Soviet country to build an artificial satellite and send it to space. The launch of Alouette 1 kicked off one of the most advanced space programs ever seen, but this success story starts with a surprisingly low-tech device: the radio. In 1947, at the dawn of the Cold War, the Canadian government created the Defence Research and Telecommunications Establishment (DRTE) with the goal of improving the military’s JOHN H. CHAPMAN radio communications. To do so, researchers at the facility focused their studies on a particular slice of the Earth’s atmosphere that allows radio waves to travel long distances called the ionosphere. Canada’s ascension to the stars truly began a decade later, when the newly formed NASA invited the world to collaborate on a satellite program dedicated to studying the ionosphere. Dr. John H. Chapman, a young physicist at the DRTE, answered the American agency’s request with an ambitious plan for a satellite able to analyze the ionosphere from above. More convinced by the prospect of an international partnership than by the blueprints themselves, NASA gave Alouette 1 the green light in 1958. Both countries agreed that Canada would design and build the device at the DRTE facility and NASA would take care of the launch. Over the next four years, Dr. Chapman and his team worked tirelessly to build the satellite—and most of its components—entirely from scratch. Even as it neared completion, the project had more than a few doubters. NASA itself judged the undertaking too advanced for the technology available at the time. So when the countdown reached zero in the early hours of September 29, 1962, no one really knew what to expect. And then the sky over California’s Vanderberg Air Force Base lit up. Not only did Alouette 1 achieve orbit as planned, but its mission exceeded even the most optimistic expectations. Built to orbit the planet for a single year before being shut off, Canada’s first satellite remained active for an entire decade, providing researchers with a record-shattering amount of data. After the tremendous success of Alouette 1, the DRTE built three more satellites, all launched by NASA.

infO Canada THE STORIES BEHIND OUR SYMBOLS

BRITISH COLUMBIA

The first significant wave of Trinidadians arrived in Canada during the 1920s. They were recruited to work in mines, shipyards and on the expanding railroad system as labourers, porters or chefs. Some Trinidadians enlisted in the Canadian army during the Second World War as part of the allied war effort and were allowed to remain in Canada after the conflict was over.

FLOWER: PACIFIC DOGWOOD The pacific dogwood (Cornus nuttallii) is BC’s provincial flower. Blossoms proliferate in trees six to eight metres high on Vancouver Island and along the Fraser River. The white petals are actually modified leaves grouped around a cluster of tiny green flowers. The floral symbol was officially adopted in 1956.

Around 65,000 Canadians who voluntarily filled out the National Household Survey in 2011 reported having some degree of Trinidadian background, but current estimates place the figure much higher—around 150,000. These Canadians find their roots in a small Caribbean country off the coast of Venezuela called Trinidad and Tobago. Canada was among the first to recognize the nation’s independence from Great Britain in 1962, making relations between the two countries historically strong. While vibrant Trinidadian communities exist in cities from coast to coast, the greater Toronto area is home to Canada’s largest concentration of Trinidadian Canadians. Every summer, the city hosts Caribana, Canada’s largest Caribbean festival, and Trinidad and Tobago is always featured prominently throughout the colourful event. The very concept of the carnival in Canada can be traced back to early Trinidadians; calypso and steel band music are other cultural contributions of note. In recent years, many Trinidadian Canadians have made an impact on our cultural scene: novelist Neil Bissoondath and recording artists k-os and Keshia Chanté are a few among many.

Suddenly, there’s sports joy in Cleveland

By Bruce Penton Cleveland? The sports capital of the world? Loserville turned into the American version of the City of Champions? This would be like Lucy actually allowing Charlie Brown to kick the ﬁeld goal, a gamewinner no less. This would be the (gulp!) Chicago Cubs breaking their 108-year drought. This would be like gamblers at Las Vegas going home winners. Cleveland? What’s in the Great Lakes water these days? Infamous for not having a professional sports champion since the 1964 Browns, the year 2016 could turn into a bonanza for the city’s sports teams. Hit the ‘cancel’ button on The Mistake by the Lake moniker. Cleveland’s rockin’ baby, and for more than just the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. First the LeBron James-led Cavaliers, who made NBA history by winning the last three games of the Championship Finals to snatch the title away from Golden State Warriors, whose 73-win regular season went all for naught. Now, the Cleveland Indians are playing like the ’27 Yankees, running away with the American League Central Division and making serious World Series noise. A 14-game winning streak in late Juneearly July propelled the Indians to a big division lead. The Indians’ starting rotation, led by Danny Salazar, Josh Tomlin, Corey Kluber and Trevor Bauer (a combined 33-13 at the end of June), is the majors’ best, according to

Sports Illustrated. Second-year shortstop flash Francisco Lindor, who was rookie-of-the-year runner-up, is having an even better second season. Cleveland fans are excited. Not as excited as they were the night two years ago when the Browns drafted quarterback Johnny (Football) Manziel from Texas A and M. But excited enough after getting a taste of victory with the Cavs that maybe another championship parade in early November to salute the Indians would be fun, too. Manziel, meanwhile, has ridden off into a world of selfdestruction. He’s a celebrity and a serious druggie (according to his father). He’s thrown hundreds of touchdown passes as a high schooler, college star and in his short career as an NFLer, but now he’s thrown away something far more important: a career. In the ‘new’ Cleveland, perhaps the Browns under new coach Hue Jackson will resurrect the perennial losers, as QB Robert Griffin III resurrects his career, and give the Ohio city a sports triple crown in 2016. Stranger things have happened. • Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “Indianapolis Colts QB, Andrew Luck, has signed a $140 million, six-year contract, the biggest ever. In a related story, Johnny Manziel’s credit card was declined at a bar in Mexico.” • Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “Last week, Johnny Manziel attended a Justin Bieber concert. In a crowd full of 16,000 11-year-olds, Manziel was still the least mature person in the room.” • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Dateline Cleveland, Oct. 1: Indians vow to finally end the city’s four-month championship drought.”

• TC in BC: “Congrats to Las Vegas on getting an NHL franchise. Single game tickets start at $75 each and a twodrink minimum.” • Norman Chad of the Washington Post, on the NHL’s arrival in Las Vegas: “In 10 years, every league will be in Sin City, with keno concessionaires working the stands.” • RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com, after the Broncos waived punter William Johnson just months after signing him: “I’m guessing there wasn’t enough good Will punting.” • Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “Dear

• Bob Molinaro of pilotonline.com, Hampton, Va.: “Presumably, Kevin Durant won’t sign with Golden State unless the NBA issues a waiver allowing the Warriors to use two basketballs.” • Molinaro again: “Assuming LeBron remains in Cleveland for more than another season, he’s said to be angling for a long-term deal that would eventually pay him $40 million a year, breaking Michael Jordan’s record of $33 million, set in the late ’90s. Rings aren’t the only way the greats keep score.” • Former NHL goalie

Corey Hirsch, on Twitter and found in Gregg Drinnan’s ‘Taking Note’: “July 1 free agency is like buying a ham sandwich at the airport. U pay 3x the price and it’s still a ham sandwich.” • Stephen Colbert on late-night TV: “Rio’s acting governor warned the Olympics could be a ‘big failure’, which is actually an improvement, because until yesterday, it looked like a massive catastrophe.” Randy Turner on Twitter again: “Perhaps the biggest irony in professional sports is the Bombers logo is a ‘W’.” Care to comment?

Kennedy/Langbank News Submitted by Doreen Cancade A new month and the middle of the yearóhow the time goes by so quickly. Dean and Doreen Gardner took a recent trip to BC to visit with their son Michael and family, a week goes by very quickly when you are having fun with family, JoAnn and family, Ted and Grant enjoyed the weekend with their parents. They all enjoyed seeing the ﬁreworks at Kenosee on July 1st. John and Matilda Yuhasz of Regina spent a few days visiting with Marion Yuhasz. This past weekend Ronda Brickley hosted a wedding celebration for her nephew Tom and Alysha Davis of Calgary at the Kennedy Friendship Centre, a great weekend for family members. Ashley Daku, the daughter of Murray and Valerie Daku, graduated from grade 12 on June 17th. She attended Centennial Collegiate and congratulations to her winning 3 awards. Both her grandmothers attended, Iola Smyth and Violet Daku accompanied by her son Allen. Iola also had a chance to visit with her sister Audrey and Garry Kerslake and attended a birthday party for the Kerslake grandson. The folks of Kennedy were very sorry to hear that George and Lorraine Smyth were in a car accident in Regina this past weekówe wish you a speedy recovery. Murray and Leila Smyth had a great holiday

recently when they travelled to Regina to attend Kali Bourhis and Chad McDonald wedding, then on to Mackenzie, BC to visit friends they hadnít seen for a number of years, also visited with friends in Drayton Valley and attended the rodeo in Sundre, AB where their son Curtis took part in the bull ﬁghting. They were overwhelmed by the parade and especially enjoyed seeing all the horses in the parade, on the way home they stopped in Saskatoon to visit with their son Justin who is employed there, and also visited with other family members, a great way to celebrate an anniversary. The regular monthly bingo was held last Thursday at the Kennedy Friendship Centre, the crowd was small but everyone enjoyed the evening. Winners were: Sue Cummins, Violet Daku, Yvonne Bertalon, Jim and Doreen Szilagyi of Kipling, Jean Molnar, Doreen Cancade, Karrissa Bertalon winning the 50/50, and other bingo games. Mary Hewson donated the special prize for the evening. Clair Dorrance was the caller. There will be another bingo the last Thursday of July and everyone is welcome. The committee that made preparations for the Fletwode, Belleville school reunion are excited about seeing all the visitors this coming weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, they hope there will be a good attendance of the communities coming together for renewing old friendships.

The Alida community welcomes Ihor and Yana Tkachenko who arrived here to Alida on June 27 from the Ukraine. Ihor will be helping Dale, Linda and Kris Potapinski with work on the farms. Welcome to Canada – Saskatchewan and Alida folks, hope you will like and enjoy your new home. Ken and June McLachlin of Cabri spent the long weekend visiting with their daughter Gail McLachlin and Joe Harvey. They all spent a nice rainy day visiting at the Peace Gardens. Hope you all enjoyed a great Canada

Day on July 1 at whatever it was you decided to do. There were many of Alida folks who enjoyed a long weekend camping out at the dam at Moose Creek Regional Park. They also attended a Saturday Breakfast at the Junk campsite where they participated in the making of breakfast and served up 70 breakfasts. Hey – way to go guys and gals you definitely hold the record for Saturday (Sunday) breakfasts now. Proceeds collected at breakfast will be turned over to the Alida Hall and Rink Auxiliary (as it was the leftovers from their Sunday breakfast which were held this past winter). So sorry we had to miss this breakfast but the ﬂu bug had hit our house. Tim, Shelly and Ainsley Cowan travelled to

Regina on Friday, July 1 where they met Murray, Fiona and Adam Cowan at Jeﬀ Cowan’s residence. On Saturday the adults later travelled to Moose Jaw to take in the rescheduled Meatloaf Concert, while Ainsley spent quality time with her cousin Adam. Also attending the Meatloaf Concert in Moose Jaw on Saturday, July 2 were Prudent, Joey, Chelsey and Skylar Mailhiot. On Sunday they visited with Joey’s sister Lois Stokke and Ken Mair at Kronau before returning home to Alida. We (Gray and I) enjoyed spending the afternoon at the Red Barn, near Kenosee. We met up with family members and friends, and had a great confab with everyone. Of course made a couple of purchases

and enjoyed the music, where Gray even tried out his dancing steps in a couple of numbers. July sure came in with a bag full of weather – sunshine, wind, hot, cool, rain with some lightning and noisy thunder and even a little hail – you name it I’m sure it happened – makes living in Saskatchewan interesting. Say have you folks noticed the wild ﬂowers this spring? They are very bountiful this year. I especially noticed the Lady’s-Slippers – the ditches were full of the dainty little yellow orchard ﬂowers, just like a carpet. I’m beginning to notice the Prairie Lilies now – they don’t seem as plentiful but maybe it’s still on the early side yet. The wild pink Roses are also out by the dozens amazes me how they
