Years ago First Nations lived fully dependent on the land. Sometimes a harsh land on the prairies, they learned to survive and found reprieve from the elements in places like the Moose Mountains. As a way to regain this knowledge a nine week program was held this summer for youth. They spent their time in the wilderness learning about the land in the form of survival as well as learning about cultural practices and legends told around the fire in the evening. Upon arriving at the camp on Thursday, Aug. 6, the youth came to greet The Observer before showing and explaining a portion of what they learned. They took The Observer on a walk through a pathway with ancient signs and markers to help identify each section of trail called, “Land of the Little People.” “We made some really great finds,” Medwolf explained. “I’m lucky, I was raised by my grandparents, and I pass on the little bit I know to others. I know this much,” he held up his fingers an inch apart, “from this much,” he said holding his hands apart a few feet. The little bit Medwolf knows includes 130 medicines as well as legends and ancient signage once used. Though these legends often diﬀer amongst First Nations people many of them focus on the same teachings. Medwolf teaches through way of doing, so the youth learned over the course of nine weeks by searching and identifying medicines, putting up teepees, creating ancient signage, and building work areas, as well as learning about legends. This is where the name of their educational pathway the youth built developed, “Land of the Little People.” Land of the Little People educational pathway created “All tribes have little people,” Medwolf explained. “Not just First Nations, but other cultures, the Irish have famous ones. The little people are a tribe from the upworlds who were stranded here. When the light skinned people came the little people went into hiding and now they can only be seen by kids and holy people.” “They gave us knowledge though, like how to take aspirin out of the willow, which rocks won’t blow up in a fire, and the powerful vitamins in dog bones which were used in our casts to fuse broken bones. There are many stories of little people who taught us everything. Today they’re still hiding, but if you make a playground, they’ll come play, or a village, they’ll come visit.” “Locally they have a place here called Heart Hill which is famous for little people.” The pathway built includes a small village partway down the path which was used to teach the participants about setting up a village, because even done on a small scale it requires the same practices as on the larger. With only a few small four foot teepees set up in this Little People Village, there are plans to set up more to make it thirteen. “Thirteen, to our people, isn’t a bad number,” Medwolf explained. “Thirteen is sacred to us. A perfect hawk’s tail has thirteen feathers.” The trail began with three rocks stacked, which is an ancient sign indicating that a trail begins. The first stop the youth spoke about included a survival technique of accumulating pure drinking water using a hole, rocks, and in this instance a plastic sheet. Condensation would accrue and pool in the middle.

From Page 1 - Survival THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: CAPRICORN, AQUARIUS AND PISCES.

Week of August 16 to 22, 2015 ARIES You have to look your best for one reason or another. You work on your image, for either personal or professional reasons.

TAURUS You have piles of work to do, and it’s urgent. You’ll be generously rewarded for your efforts and perhaps you’ll even be offered a promotion.

GEMINI Your esthetic sense is at its peak and you’re constantly creating masterpieces during your daily activities. Your ability to be patient comes in very handy for one reason or another.

CANCER You may spend part of the week at home. If you have young children, you have lots of preparations to complete, especially for the start of the new school year.

LEO You do a lot of running around, and there’s a chance that it will take a bit longer than expected. Don’t refuse your friends’ invitations to unwind and have some fun. Try to relax.

VIRGO You should find all the necessary solutions to any financial worries. Don’t hesitate to consult your friends and various professionals in order to get to the bottom of things.

LIBRA Lots of action is on the horizon and time flies by. You succeed in making the most of your creativity. Soon, and against all odds, a project of an artistic nature shows itself to be lucrative.

SCORPIO With a bit of persistence and determination you attain your goals in the end, even though time is a rare commodity. At work, you need to learn to love your job in order to feel good.

SAGITTARIUS Expect to have a lively social life. You also benefit from an extraordinary imagination, which, to your surprise, allows you to create a great masterpiece.

CAPRICORN Time is definitely scarce and you have no choice but to synchronize all your activities with great precision. Be sure to unwind in order to alleviate your stress.

The last standing survivors, joined by Medwolf their survival instructor (fifth from right), and volunteers for the program stop for in front of the “Land of the Little People” sign made to depict the pathway. As one walked along the trail youth explained diﬀerent scat and tracks found within the area from moose to elk. The youth explained each animal’s tendencies and were able to tell if the moose was a cow or bull simply by the shape of the scat. They also pointed out a variety of medicines and food, which grows naturally in the Moose Mountains. Some even plucked berries as they walked along, eating them because they knew what they were and could eat them without fear of becoming ill. In addition to pointing out the various items, the youth also explained what each natural medicine was used for by ancestors showcasing their expanded knowledge from the nine week program. River willow was used in a tea for aches and pains in the body. The birch tree leaves were used in a tea to shrink kidney stones, while fungus on birch trees was used for a more powerful tea for kidney stones, pain, headaches, and fevers. Chokecherries were gathered and used in pemican, while chokecherry tea was used at feasts and gatherings; wild honey would be added to chokecherries to make a thick cough syrup as well. Wild rose berries were used in stews due to high vitamin C content and the roots were pounded into powder to create tea to fight scurvy. The powder was also used on open wounds to stop bleeding, while the petals were used to improve evening vision. Raspberry leaves were made into tea for pregnant women to make childbirth easier, while it could also help with stomach cramps. These were simply a few of the medicines they learned about. The most important medicines for prayer are sage, cedar, sweet grass, and tobacco as these create a powerful smudge to help cleanse ones soul, bring in good spirits, keep out bad spirits, and help take prayers to the other side much like an arrow. One of the youth added humour in explaining sacred tobacco which is “a way to show respect. We take medicines from Mother Earth and return the tobacco as an oﬀering, because Earth doesn’t accept credit cards.” Throughout the trail there were also sites set up with a deadfall trap, ancient signs indicating which way to turn, a flour making station, a clay pot station, an animal hide drying area, the small village, and at the end of the

You could treat yourself to a short vacation. Look at all the details, especially if you’re planning a business trip. This is also a great opportunity to go wild, no matter what the circumstances.

PISCES There’s lots of emotion in the air. Be careful with money; you may tend to do some compulsive shopping. If you want to spoil yourself, do it with moderation.

The

path an ancient sign telling others not to drink the water. One of the participants spoke about the importance of dogs, which were used as pack animals before horses were brought to North America. Additionally the young boy explained that the first casts for broken bones were developed by First Nations who would use dog bones, from those that had died, mixed with clay to create the cast. Nine important rules were also learned about what to do if they become lost including staying in one place and not wandering, wearing bright clothing, if unsure about drinking water to drink the morning dew off of vegetation, if amongst a group to stick together, to find a cozy area but not a hiding spot, to not sleep on the ground but to make a bed as the ground is cold, keep clothes dry and wear as many as you can to stay warm, don’t eat anything you’re unsure about, and to make yourself as big as possible to be seen from a helicopter/ search party. An additional survival technique they also knew was that leaves can be stuffed into clothing to be used as insulation although a resounding answer when asked if it mattered what kind of leaves was simply laughter as the youth stated, “Not stinging nettle [poison ivy].” An important plant on the prairies One of the most significant items for survival on the prairies were actually cattails. “Cattails were very important to our people,” one of the participating youth explained. “Cattail root was ground into flour to make pancakes, biscuits, and bread. The roots could be put in fire and baked, and they tasted like baked potatoes. The stem could be dried and boiled, rolled in salt and butter, and that tasted like corn on the cob.” “Hunters also used them as duck decoys and they were used to make baskets for picking berries. For children, you could use the cattails to make small dolls.” “The cattail fluff was used in the deadfall trap. You would tuck it under and around the trap, so it wouldn’t freeze to the ground. It was most important to our people.”

Stoughton demolition derby a smash hit Kelly Running Observer Staff

Cars crunch during the annual Stoughton Demolition Derby held on Saturday, Aug. 8.

Staff photo by Kelly Running

Four cars entered the arena in each heat with one winner moving on into the final.

Engines revved, dust plumes rose, and cars crashed into each other during the Stoughton Demolition Derby, which was held on Saturday, Aug. 8, at 1 p.m. With the sun out the day was a perfect one to be spent at the fair grounds where the demolition derby is held annually. This year a total of 16 cars took part in the demolition derby and three trucks participated in the truck demolition derby. The winner of the truck demolition, which was used as an intermission to the main event, was Rex Whitrow. Stoughton’s top demo driver in the main event, however, was Morgyn Whitrow from Weyburn who won $2,500 for her first place finish. Last year Morgyn took second place as a first-time driver at the event in Stoughton, so coming back to win was an exciting experience. Scott Free earned second place in the demo derby and Andrew Carruthers earned third place. Last year Morgyn told The Observer, “People say girls can’t demo, but I say they can.” And she has proven this in Stoughton both last year and this. The day was a great success according to president of the Stoughton Demolition Derby, Corey Bacon. “We contemplated pulling over the other stands, but decided not to,” Bacon said. “Next thing you know I turn around and the stands we did have out were full, the beer gardens were full, and people were sitting in lawn chairs.” “Mother Nature definitely helped us out this year and the breeze meant it wasn’t too hot either.” “We had a decent turn-out of cars and the track stayed together for us to get good hits and put on a good show for the crowd.” Total prize money paid out included $4,600, while they are still tallying how much they made from the day as this will go to the Stoughton Ambulance Service and the Stoughton Fire Department. “We also had the Heward Recreation Board handle security, the beer gardens, and the food because they host the annual haunted house at the rink in Heward and need $3,000 for wiring,” Bacon explained. “The beer garden usually pulls in a bit and so that was our way of getting them involved which also helped us out.” “Big thanks to the Heward Recreation Board for the security and the beer gardens/ concession stand ,” Derek Mizell, one of the Stoughton Demolition Derby members said. Not only was the day a good one for the crowd watching and for fundraising, but in addition to the cash paid out to the drivers, the drivers also had a great day. “Our pits are shaded here so people can have some shade,” Bacon explained. “We’re usually out in the hot sun, so it’s really good. The regular guys I see and compete with all said they enjoyed the shade because it’s a relief from the sun.” “We have to wear coveralls, helmets, and safety gear inside the car which makes it warm, the sun can be hot, and then if your rad blows, well it can get really hot. So that bit of shade is welcomed.” Overall Bacon was very happy with the event: “It was an excellent day. I think we put on a wicked show.”

Teepees The youth were also given the opportunity to learn how to set up teepees. “One of the main things about teepees was that they were owned by women, they put them up; if a man and woman got into a fight the man would have to leave because it was the woman’s property,” a participant explained. “These are larger than what they would have been, they used to only be 10 to 12 feet at most. The outsides were made out of buﬀalo hides, these were tough women, because even the canvas is heavy by itself.” “It’s said that they could withstand tornadoes because they were built to be one with the ground. They all face east because wind rarely comes from that direction here. On the prairies at the base of the teepee rocks were used to keep the hides in place, which is why there are teepee rings found in the prairies, the rocks were left behind because they were too heavy to carry and more could be found where they moved to. People who lived near the trees could use wooden pegs.” A legend learned In addition to these practices, youth also learned many legends including how fire was obtained. Coyote saw a woman burying her family, including her baby, after they froze in the night. Coyote knew where to get fire and made a plan to steal fire from the Fire Demons who guarded it. Coyote watched the cycle of guards and found help from a squirrel with a straight tail, a chipmunk with no colour, a frog with a long tail, and the woods. Coyote stole the fire and ran while the Fire Demons chased him. As they caught up to him, Coyote tossed the fire to the squirrel who ran. The Fire Demons caught up to the squirrel and as they reached out, the squirrel tossed the fire away but not before the squirrel’s tail curled up from the heat oﬀ the Fire Demons. The chipmunk caught the fire from the squirrel and ran as fast as he could. The Fire Demon caught up and as the chipmunk tossed the fire to the frog a Fire Demon clawed the chipmunks back which is why four white lines are now seen on them. As the frog hopped away from the pursuing Fire Demons, they grabbed him by the tail which is why they no longer have one, and as the frog was caught he tossed the fire to the woods. The woods wouldn’t give up the fire despite promises from the Fire Demons. A successful program The program led by Medwolf was brought in by the White Bear First Nation through the cooperation of the National Child Benefit Reinvestment program (NCBR), the Lands Department, Health Department, as well as Sports and Recreation. “A huge thank you too NCBR, Lands Department, Health and Sports Culture and Rec, also to the 2014/15 Chief and Council and a special thanks to the survival instructor for all the knowledge shared and traditions passed on to us all,” Councilor Tanya Littlechief with Sports and Rec stated. “Together we made sure this happened and I couldn’t have done it without all of their help and the support of the volunteers.”

Playtime at Fairlight’s Penelope: The House of Pretend’s new lease on life

Fans of Fairlight illustrator Ione Krainyk’s book, “Penelope; The House of Pretend” can now make a play date at the very playhouse that inspired the book. “Come and experience the magic of our prairie playhouse beyond the pages of the book,” says Krainyk. “It’s a true labour of love, just like the book that it inspired.” The playhouse’s true story is recounted in “Penelope: Our House of Pretend,” a children’s book released in November 2014 and co-created by Krainyk and her sisters, Zelda Luchenski of Regina and Nona McMillan of Ottawa. The book is a lively account of the sisters’ childhood memories and a touching tribute to their grandparents. “It’s a children’s book about a playhouse,” says Krainyk. “But it’s also a true story. My grandfather lost his arm in a combine accident. My grandparents-Albin and Lily Carlberg-moved into Fillmore with my mom and her three little girls when my dad left. The biggest part of that story is that family connection and the playhouse symbolizes that.” “My grandpa built that playhouse for us,” adds Krainyk. “My grandparents had 18 grandchildren all within seven miles of Fillmore. We played in it, we had birthday parties in it. Later on, it became a bunkhouse at White Bear Lake and my grandma had set it up with two double beds and two little camp beds, so six of us could sleep there. When my grandma passed away, the playhouse went back to Fillmore and became my mom’s garden shed.” “When my mom was passing away, she made me promise to take it and use it as a playhouse for her great-grandchildren to play in, and now, it’s in my yard. My grandchildren play in it and so do another group of children who’ve read the story of Penelope.” “Interest in visiting the playhouse has actually grown by word-of-mouth,” says Krainyk. “We’ve had visitors-young and older-from as far away as London, England. People who used to live in Fairlight, or people from elsewhere who have received he book as a gift have come to see the playhouse.” “In the case of younger visitors, they’ll come to have a play, or a tea party or to dress up with costumes from the tickle trunk, or all three,” adds Krainyk. “I’ve been collecting all kinds of dress-up clothes, costumes and shoes since my grandaughter was born and I have lots of costumes in all sizes for girls and boys.” “My husband Richard made me a shop in the yard, where I do a lot of my work. But part of it is converted to a dressing room, so kids can get changed there and head back into the playhouse in costume.” Roxann Waelchli’s daughter and niece recently enjoyed a Penelope playdate, and Waelchli says, “It was wonderful. The girls just loved it. Both of them received the book for Christmas and they were very familiar with Penelope’s story.” “As soon as they saw the playhouse, they said, ‘That’s Penelope!’ They knew right away.” “They dressed up and had a little tea party while they were there. The playhouse was jammed with stuﬀ for them to play with and (Ione) never made a fuss; she just wanted them to have fun-and they did.” Bev Moore of Carlyle is Krainyk’s cousin and one of Albin and Lily’s grandchildren. She appears in the book and says the most important themes of Penelope-the book and the playhouse-are family and memories. “I remember staying in the playhouse at White Bear with some girlfriends from Regina,” says Moore. “Grandma always seemed to find room for one more person in the playhouse. Grandpa built it with only one arm. We were all so involved with them growing up and it’s the memories of Grandpa’s playhouse. Our whole family has memories of it.” “It’s a very family-focused book.” Krainyk agrees. “I felt very close to my grandpa when I was working on the book’s illustrations,” she says. “It was a real emotional rollercoaster. The love of my entire family and my children really inspired me.” “After Grandpa lost his arm in a combine

accident, he built the playhouse. I remember sitting on the boards with him as he built it, so in that sense it’s a very personal story,” adds Krainyk. “But it’s also a very universal story, I think. Our family played in the playhouse, held birthday parties in it...In the book, we also include things like weiner roasts, and funny things from the past, like Beatles posters on the wall and baby-doll pyjamas. These are things that a lot of people can remember or relate to.” “It’s not just our family, though,” she says. “My grandparents touched a lot of people during their lives, and some of those people appear in the book, too.” “In many ways, it’s a very universal and modern story, wrapped up in an old-fashioned package.” “Actually, the book got going when my sisters and I were having a little tea party in the playhouse,” continues Photo submitted Krainyk. “We were talkCousins Ainsley Ecklund and Amilee Waelchli enjoy an afternoon of ing and remembering playtime, dress-up and a children’s tea party at Ione Krainyk’s playhouse, and we decided to do a book to preserve these Penelope in Fairlight.

Life from light – stimulating photosynthesis important for soil health Kelly Running Observer Staff

Soil health is directly related to the amount of nutrients found in our food according to Dr. Christine Jones an Australian soil ecologist. Whether we’re eating vegetables, fruit, or meat the nutrition levels of our foods have diminished over the years and it is up to those managing the land to find ways to improve soil health as a way to rectify this. Additionally, farming and ranching practices are said to be able to extract carbon dioxide from the air and store it in the soil. Although holistic management brings with it other benefits to those in agriculture, the two thoughts above help inspire farmers and ranchers who are environmentally conscious to pursue better land management, which will build up our soil that has slowly been depleting in nutrients over the years. Jones has been touring Canada to discuss these topics of restoring soil carbon and rebuilding topsoil after being contacted by Neil and Barbara Dennis of Sunnybrae Acres. Opening speakers’ thoughts Speaking prior to Jones taking the podium Dave Pattyson with the Upper Souris Watershed provided a summary of information regarding the Farm Stewardship Program. Also speaking was local rancher, Blaine Hjertaas, from west of Redvers. Hjertaas, a holistic land manager, was there to talk about his practices and about Regenerative Agriculture in general. “Regenerative Agriculture is a system that builds soil, people, communities, and healthy food,” Hjertaas stated. “This [the land] is our grandkids heritage that we’re playing with. We have to change, we have to build.” “Soil health and human health are the same thing; if the soil is crap our health is too and if the soil is good then our health is good.”

Hjertaas explained that over the years our food has become nutrient deficient which correlates to our health with 30 percent of the population said to be obese, increased diabetes amongst the population, and early onset Alzheimers – what was once something that people suffered from in old age is now being found in people much younger.

From Page 6 - Soil and four or five times as much vegetables to get the same amount of minerals as in 1940.” “You’d have to eat 10 times as many tomatoes today as one tomato about 50 years ago.” “If you were to take a prime piece of rump steak from the same kind of animal, at the same age, and under the same conditions now and 50 years ago it would only have half the amount of iron in it. So, it’s things that we take for granted, we assume meat will have iron in it, we eat meat for iron, there’s actually 54 percent less iron in it than it had 50 years ago.” Minerals including copper, zinc, manganese are also diminishing in our food according to Jones: “In some foods there is no longer any trace of copper. Copper is very important in our bodies because we have to transform compounds from one state to another, we need an enzyme – we need a whole lot of enzymes to make those transformations – and every single enzyme has a catalyst, and that catalyst in our bodies is often copper, or zinc, or manganese. These things have declined significantly to the point that the foods that were once high in zinc, there is absolutely none now.” “As we’re going on our food is getting less and less nutrients in it.” Jones posed the question of why this was to those at the presentation with the answer being: “Bacteria and fungi are not functioning anymore to make those minerals available to the plants.” Essentially she says that fertilizers are blocking the natural symbiotic relationship of the plant and soil organisms. “The plant isn’t asking the biology to interact anymore because we give the plant some nitrogen, we give it some phosphorous. Those are the main things it needs to grow, and it can grow on those things, it doesn’t function effectively in terms of its immune system, but it can grow.” “We’ve taken away the plants job by putting on synthetic fertilizer, that’s one of the things we’ve done. Tillage is another. Microbes in the soil go to an enormous amount of trouble to modify the soil environment, to make it favourable for them. They produce sticky substances that glue soil particles together in little lumps we call aggregates... If we were to come in and cultivate it, and cultivate it, and cultivate, we would come in and basically bust up their homes which makes it difficult for things that live in the soil to survive.” Healthy interaction of soil and plants is self regulating according to Jones, the plant can ask for up to 90 percent of what it needs through mycorrihzal fungi. “Mycorrihzal fungi can extend where plant roots can’t,” Jones said. “They can bring water from 20 meters away. Have you ever seen trees growing in rocks without soil? That’s because of a myorrihzal fungi interacting with the rock because they’re incredibly efficient in getting minerals.” These are important biological pathways because a plant is stuck in one place for its entire life. “If we supply things like nitrogen and phosphorous to plants we actually take away their [the soil organisms’] job,” she said. “If the roots aren’t signalling to the microbes to bring minerals to it and we shut off that pathway [with fertilizers] that communication doesn’t happen.” So, how can soil be corrected by using the natural pathways of the soil biology and not simply treating a symptom of the bigger problem? By instead stimulating photosynthesis – not only by encouraging plants to photosynthesize at a higher rate – and to increase a plant’s photosynthetic capacity. Therefore, any bare ground showing is not

assisting in increasing the photosynthetic process, which is why companion crops are becoming more popular amongst grain farmers who are utilizing holistic management. “We need green plants for CO2 and water, we need good plant roots, deep roots, branched roots, roots with lots of little hairs; lots of excretion of carbon around these plants,” Jones said. “When that is all in place we can build soil.” Additionally over the years, according to Jones, we have cut down on the amount of light that is intercepted through raising monocultures, using vegetation with short growing seasons also hinders the amount of photosynthesizing within a year, and by spraying things like nitrogen on the plant can also disrupt the light a plant uses. By diversifying the types of plants on a section photosynthesis can increase: diﬀerent shaped leaves, increased ground cover, and utilizing plants of varying heights to assist in capturing sunlight energy for photosynthesis. It’s also important to build ground cover according to Jones. More microbial activity in the soil will increase organic matter in the soil, which will produce CO2 that comes up from soil. The increased organic matter adds to the amount of carbon dioxide the plant takes in, which improves photosynthesis. “We want to recycle it [CO2] before it reaches the atmosphere,” Jones stated. She added that plants are more eﬃcient recycling CO2 from the ground because plant leaves are built with stoma, the part of a leaf that takes in CO2 for photosynthesis, on the underside of it. The photosynthetic rate has been altered over time as well. Photosynthesis is used for a plant to feed itself and to feed the soil. By providing nitrogen in the form of a synthetic fertilizer the plant’s photosynthetic rate is cut in half because it now only has to photosynthesize enough to feed itself, the symbiotic relationship is interrupted by human intervention. “[If nitrogen is added] it’ll still look the same and it will still grow, it might grow more leaves, but that extra growth won’t have trace elements or minerals in it, so animals will have to eat more of it. There’s more there, but it will have essential things missing from it.” This is why she says nutrients in our food today has declined to the point it has. Ultimately, Jones said that no matter what kind of agriculture one is practising that at the core farmers and ranchers of any kind, whether raising cattle, sheep, bison, or growing wheat, sunflowers, or corn, at the core they are all light farmers. Healthy soil is dependent on how good light farmers are at stimulating photosynthesis in their practices because the symbiotic relationship between soil microbes and plants is dependent on creating life through light – photosynthesis.

Dr. Christine Jones, an Australian soil ecologist, spoke at Prairie Place Hall in Arcola on Saturday, Aug. 8. “There can be no life without soil and no soil without life; they have evolved together,” Jones quoted Charles E. Kellogg – a naturalist from the early 1900s. For more information on Dr. Christine Jones visit her website: www.amazingcarbon.com

Quote of the Week . . . “No sense in being pessimistic. It wouldn’t work anyway.” ― Unknown

A topic shamed by society

This week I came across quite the story on the internet, I’ll say oﬀ the bat that this may make some people uncomfortable to talk about, however, it is a natural part of life and our culture has simply made it an awkward topic. The article I read was from People, which focused on a woman who ran in the London Marathon. She had spent a year Kelly Running preparing for her first marathon Observer Staff and was going into the 26.2 mile run in London fully prepared. That’s all pretty normal, except the woman, Kiran Gandhi, ran the marathon while menstruating without using feminine hygiene products. She realized that she would be going on her period on the day of the marathon and decided to run the marathon this way. The article by Char Adams, is titled, “Woman Runs London Marathon Without a Tampon, Bleeds Freely to Raise Awareness.” Adams writes, “Kiran Gandhi, who has played drums for singer M.I.A. And Thievery Corporation, decided to run the London Marathon without a tampon. Gandhi let her blood flow freely to raise awareness about women who have no access to feminine products and to encourage women to not be embarrassed about their periods.” The article caught my eye for that exact reason, because it is something that is made to be embarrassing. We treat it as something not to be talked about, as an awkward topic, in Western culture when in reality there are so many women in the world that not having feminine hygiene products is the norm. Looking into her story a little bit more, I found an article online from Cosmopolitan, titled, “26-year-old Woman Free Bleeds Proudly Through Her First Marathon,” where she told Helen Jung: “I feel grateful that so many people get it... Men and women alike, they get it. That is my favorite part about this whole thing, that people are remembering that women have this thing that they have to deal with. For some people, it isn’t a big deal, and for other people, it is. It’s amazing that every month, they clean it up, and every month, they act like they aren’t in pain when they are...” “The other thing that’s a big deal is that people around the world who can’t either aﬀord to clean up because society tells you you have to and can’t go out in public and participate in work or go to the pool. This conversation happens all the time but it’s so real. I have this vision that if men had their period, because we are in a male-privileging society, that rules would be written into the workplace, rules would be written into the social fabric that enable men to take a moment when they need to or enable people to talk about their periods openly. We would make it OK. But it is oppressive to make someone not talk about their own body. It’s intelligently oppressive to not have language to talk about it and call it out and engage with it. I really can’t think of anything that’s the equivalent for men, and for this reason, I believe it’s a sexist situation.” I personally don’t think I’d be able to do what she did, and I’m not just talking about running a marathon, haha. I think it is true that society finds the topic awkward and there’s a good chance a few readers stopped reading when they realized what this column focused on this week. And for nothing more than how our society is raised to think about menstruation. In fact, when I read the first article about her I almost stopped. My initial reaction to seeing a photo of her with blood showing on her pants was “that’s gross.” But, automatically I questioned myself, why did I react that way? Well, because society taught me to. It’s something women are supposed to keep hidden and as a result they are often embarrassed by. As an example of this, tampons have continually gotten smaller so as to be more discreet because god forbid someone sees you with one.

Climb in and grab hold

The Vortex. The Viper. California Screamin’. Expedition Everest. The Boomerang. Thunder Mountain. Ninja. These are just some of the jaw-dropping, spine-tingling, heart-stopping roller coasters my husband has dragged me on while on various vacations over the years. He researches theme parks with the Shelley Luedtke biggest thrill rides and builds the vacation itinerary to incorporate as many stomach churning attractions as possible. We have been flipped, spun, twisted, flung, whirled and twirled. As this is happening he is the very picture of carefree adventure. His smiling face is the kind you see on the theme park brochures. Meanwhile….my knuckles are white from gripping the safety bars, my shoulders are up around my ear lobes, my mouth is contorted into unidentifiable shapes, and my eyes are shut so tightly my eyelids disappear. Countless times he has told me to open my eyes and take a look at the incredible views that come with being at the top of the world. I am an obedient rider. I double and triplecheck my safety bars, I keep my hands inside the ride at all times, I remove dangling jewelry and I ensure my belongings are securely stored in the proper compartment. I always followed the directions, but I never enjoyed the ride--until one summer day several years ago in southern California. I climbed into the coaster called Ghost Rider and as we were getting strapped in I realized I couldn’t see past the shoulder bar to the seat on my right where my 10-year old daughter was sitting. As the ride took oﬀ I let out a series of screams and it struck me that I wasn’t hearing any noise from the rider next to me. Was my girl okay? Was she still sitting safely in her seat? I hushed the noise coming from my mouth and listened intently when I heard a wonderful sound--a giggle of absolute delight. My daughter was having a wonderful time. Like father like daughter. And I couldn’t help but start to laugh too and then I realized--I was having fun. Sometimes we may feel like our lives are

hurtling by like an out of control roller coaster. We experience dips and drops and ups and downs and we can’t always see the twists and turns that come up unexpectedly. But it also makes for quite a ride. The first thing we need to remember is that it is more fun to get on the ride than to stand by and watch. It may be easier to sit back, to disengage, or just observe from a distance but just think of the sights you’d never see and the sounds you’d never hear. So step into your life, grab hold and get ready for anything. Life is a whole lot more fun when you experience it with someone you love. The people sitting beside you may change over time and that can be painful, but always be open to the new people who may be waiting to join the ride. They will make the spills easier to take and the thrills that much more exciting. There are rules that need to be followed but the purpose of life’s rules are not to frustrate or frighten but to provide sense, safety and security. They provide the structure from within which we can experience everything freely and fully. So buckle up and enjoy the ride. We learn a lot more when we are quiet. If we do all the talking we are missing out on the wisdom, the experience and the humor of others. Listen. You just might find yourself smiling and laughing a whole lot more. And no matter what, try as hard as you can to keep your eyes open. We want to shut them to pain and misery and to those things that cause us hurt and sadness but in doing so we may also be missing out on spectacular sights and unexpected beauty that just might be right around the next curve. Yes our time on this earth can leave us with clammy hands, white knuckles, weak knees, upset stomachs and throbbing headaches. But along with that comes hands that intertwine with the fingers of ones we love, knuckles that announce our arrival at a friend’s front door, knees that take us into unforgettable places, stomachs that experience flavors and fullness, and heads that are a storehouse of all that is, and all that is yet to be. So climb in, take a good look around and enjoy the ride of your life. That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

It’s a party Kelly Running Observer Staff

This week Lynne and I thought we’d look at weddings. In this day and age weddings are quite often an expensive ordeal, but is it necessary or worth the money? Perhaps the huge wedding isn’t necessary, but to many it’s worth the fuss. It’s not necessarily about the most expensive dress or best decorations, but a wedding celebration is a time when you get older that allows people to get together. Family and friends over the years find themselves spread out across the country and even around the world. A wedding is an opportunity to celebrate the union of two people, but it’s one of the few times all of these people who are important in your life to come together. My sister was married this year and as I made the rounds visiting with people, I found out one of my sister’s friends hadn’t had a reception or dance. He was being bugged by his friends because with being older and life pulling them in all diﬀerent directions, weddings and funerals seem to be the only things that can bring people together. So, why not spend a little bit of money and make a special day even better by providing the opportunity for friends and family to come together and to catch up with each other. I personally don’t really see the appeal of spending exorbitant amounts of money on a wedding, but I can see the importance of bringing people together for the occasion and to do this will take some money to do it with. You need a hall large enough for everybody, if they’re coming from far and wide anyways then why not provide them with a meal as well, and provide a venue to celebrate with each other. Meals would have to be at least $25 a plate, and I’m thinking that would be at the low end of the spectrum like close to the bare minimum, although I’m sure you could pay way more depending on who is catering and what you’re eating. A venue is always costly as well, so to provide a meal and place to sit, eat, visit, and later dance, it costs a pretty penny. But it is done for the camaraderie and being able to celebrate with friends and family, which is a far more important aspect of not only a wedding, but of life in general, than money. Money is something that we all need and use within our society, but the relationships we have are most important and a wedding is therefore something important to spend money on in order to bring these important people in your life together.

Is financial stress any way to start married life? Lynne Bell Observer Staff

We’re still in the midst of wedding season and this week, my charming editrix and I are arguing again-this time about wedding day excess. A little disclaimer: Please, please don’t stop sending me wedding invites. I love a good bash-even if I do think young couples could spend their cash more sensibly. #kiddingnotkidding But I digress. I haven’t actually received a personal invitation, but I have covered a few weddings that have lent themselves to excess. You know, the kind that inspire souvenir Ttowels and non-guests camping outside the wedding venue in the rain. (I’m lookin’ at you, Will and Kate). Big weddings are a blast. And I hope the people paying for them have at least as much fun as the guests. Our only responsibility is to show up, look decent and purchase a present. For couples starting out on a life together, however, I think the cash outlay for an extravagant wedding could be better used to make a down payment on a home or to fund a honeymoon or to pay oﬀ debt, all while still having a great (and great-looking) wedding day. A hairstylist friend of mine in Calgary used to keep me entertained with tales of weddings she and the team (yes, team!) of stylists from her salon worked at. She never mentioned names, but the details of the boomtime nuptials in Cowtown were at times, mind-boggling. And often, a source of great stress to the couple involved. Even if a cloud of impending

financial doom wasn’t an issue, snarking over other over-the-top details often was, which is surely not a great way to begin married life. Here at The Observer, we have a wedding planner as a neighbour, Lorraine Stoddard of Lolo’s Events & Fashion. Stoddard says that it’s possible to have the wedding of one’s dreams without overspending or over- stressing a couple’s relationship. “One of the first, most important things I ask a couple to decide on is an idea of their budget,” she says. “It’s possible to have a great wedding-and to hire a wedding planner if you wish-within most budgets.” “It’s possible to have a wedding that’s both stress-free and fits with your wishes-and that includes your financial wishes.” As a wedding planner, Stoddard cautions against couples settling for a wedding with only saving money in mind. “I’ve had couples who have eloped. Some have spent money and gone to Vegas to do that and it isn’t at all what they thought it would be. They feel let down and like their day was nothing special.” “So it’s not just about the money; it’s about a couple working as a team to make their day happen the way they want it to.” I guess that’s the point. If you’re starting out married life communicating and working as a team, then the odds are in your favour, no matter how much you spend. But please, keep it within your budget, kids...

Seven years of running the Moose Kelly Running Observer Staff

The seventh annual instalment of the Moose Mountain Marathon was another success. Having grown from approximately 30 people they now welcome an average of 70 walkers/runners. The majestic Moose Mountains awoke to a quiet morning on Sunday, Aug. 9, while Saskairie quickly became busy with people gathering to “Run the Moose.” Open to all ages the participants could run in a 5 km, 10 km, and a 21.1 km – half marathon – which saw staggered start times beginning with the half marathon at 7 a.m., the 10 km at 7:30 a.m., and the 5 km at 8 a.m. The event is used as a fundraiser for the Arcola School Track Club. One of the main organizers, Cathy Burton, said of the morning, “I think it was a fabulous day! We had a great turn out and wonderful volunteers. Without the walkers, runners, and volunteers we couldn’t do this and so successfully.” This year runners attended from a total of 19 diﬀerent communities from Arcola to Saskatoon to Bellegarde to Hartney, MB. The furthest traveller was Thelma Snow, from Saskatoon, who also happened to be the oldest runner/walker at 73-years-young. The Ruetz/Coderre family were the largest family participating this year with eight runners/ walkers from Foam Lake and Stoughton. Part of this family included the day’s youngest participant, Elizabeth Ruetz at six-years-old. Within the 5 km event the results were as follows: − 18 and under male: first place went to Seth Pauwelyn at 24:32, second to Evan James at 24:59,

Penalties kill Riders’ shot at first season win

Rider Insider By Rod Pedersen It was a popular joke making the rounds in the Wheat Province over the weekend: “At least the Roughriders won’t lose this week!” It’s true, the Saskatchewan Roughriders won’t lose in the upcoming Week 8 of the 2015 CFL season because they have a bye and the scheduled break has temporarily paused this disastrous start to the campaign which has the club at the bottom of the league standings at 0-7. The latest defeat came at the hands of the Toronto Argonauts Saturday night at Rogers Centre, 30-26, before a surprisingly enthusiastic crowd of 20,642 in the Argos’ home-opener. But the game itself was an eyesore. It was the second-highest penalty total in a single CFL regular season game with a whopping 24 infractions being assessed to Saskatchewan and 15 more flags being thrown at Toronto. Yuck. Even more disturbing is the fact observers noted three Roughriders touchdowns were called back due to penalties, ultimately leading to another demoralizing defeat.

“Write it like the other (games) and you have the same story,” Riders coach Corey Chamblin said after the game. “Tight loss. We did some good things but negative things hurt us. Everytime we had big plays, penalties killed us.” And that, perhaps, is the most maddeninglyfrustrating thing about this horrendous season for your friendly neighbourhood Green & White. It’s the same annoying story being played over and over again on a weekly basis. Going into Saturday’s game I chatted with the exasperated General Manager of the Roughriders, Brendan Taman, on CKRM’s pregame show and he pointed out the biggest culprit in all of their losses so far. “Turnovers,” Taman blurted, taking less than a second to answer. “(Going into the Toronto game) we’re minus-9, we’re the worst in the league, and you don’t win games when that happens. A big part of that is we’re not taking the ball away. Everybody associates the turnover ratio with oﬀense, but we’ve had two takeaways all year on defense which, we’ve all seen, is below normal and that’s an understatement.” The CFL record for the least amount of defensive takeaways in a season is 25, set by the 2006 Edmonton Eskimos. The 2015 Saskatchewan Roughriders are on pace for only six. “I don’t know what I can say on top of that. That really sums it up,” Taman continued. “The penalties and tackling are part of it but I think the turnovers are huge. If we don’t take the ball away, we’re going to have issues to win games.” So the football club couldn’t wait to get to this bye week to reassess and chart the course for the final 11 games. A playoﬀ spot, remarkably, is not

yet lost despite the record. Corey Chamblin has gone from Coach of the Year to Coach For The Year and each mounting loss has those wolves back howling outside his door. Last week in this space I noted that losing would not be tolerated by the decision-makers of this franchise however that notion seems to have cooled. Chamblin’s been given a vote of confidence by his bosses and that appears to have set him at ease somewhat in the days since. However that hasn’t stopped the braintrust from holding emergency meetings and seeing how best to manage this crisis. Former Roughrider President Jim Hopson is rumoured to have oﬀered a helping hand, with his replacement Craig Reynolds treading water in the deep-end. To quote singer Glenn Frey, the “Heat Is On”. “Oh no. It’s been clearly stated that we’re in the business to win games,” Taman concluded. “We all get that. We’ve tried to tinker with the lineup, getting young guys in to play, and getting a change. We have to change what we’re doing. We started that scheme-wise and lineup-wise with the Toronto game. That happens when you lose.” All the gloom and doom is understandable because, as I’ve noted countless times, nobody’s used to this and it certainly wasn’t expected. But the Riders are still the league’s flagship franchise and the preferred destination for players to play. They’re getting more publicity now than when they were at the top of the podium. Make no mistake, the brand is still incredibly strong. But it can’t take a prolonged hit and everybody is aware of that. All I know is I’m glad I’m not the one who has to find the answers. Oh, and the Riders won’t lose this week.

No argument: Rousey most dominant athlete

Sports Wrap-up with Bruce Penton No matter how many grand slam tennis titles Serena Williams wins, no matter how many major championships Inbee Park wins on the Ladies Professional Golfers Association tour, there is no more dominant female athlete in the world today than UFC champion Ronda Rousey. Tougher than a $2 steak and prettier than a swimsuit model (a pastime which, incidentally, she has dabbled in), Rousey is a Californian who has many opponents, but no real competitors. There is no such thing as ‘competition’ when Rousey and a victim get into a ring during an Ultimate Fighting Championship event. In the past 18 months, Rousey — owner of a 12-0 record as a pro — has had four bouts and only one went past one minute before her opponent was either ‘arm-barred’ into submission or KOd. Either way, the victories have been decisive, dominant. The lengthiest of those four bouts went 66 seconds. Her other three victories lasted 16 seconds, 14 seconds and, two weeks ago, 34 seconds over

Bethe Correia in Brazil. Sports Illustrated put Rousey on the cover in May, headlining the magazine with “Ronda Rousey is the world’s most dominant athlete.” It didn’t diﬀerentiate by gender by referring to ‘female athlete’. Just ‘athlete’. Williams wins the majority of women’s pro tennis events, and Park has won seven major golf titles in the last three years, but at least when they compete, others have a chance to win. Unlike Rousey, who has no peer. Her most famous victory move is the ‘armbar, which she described to Sports Illustrated as “like pulling a drumstick oﬀ a Thanksgiving turkey.” It’s legal, it’s painful, it’s always decisive. Rousey won an Olympic bronze medal in judo in 2008, but her career has been nothing but gold-plated since. She’s unbeatable and yes, she’s undoubtedly the world’s most dominant female athlete. Wanna argue with her over that? • Latenight funnyman Conan O’Brien: “UFC Champion Ronda Rousey will be the next model for Carl’s Jr. Carl’s Jr. chose Rousey because she also knows what it’s like to damage someone’s organs in less than 30 seconds.” • Comedy writer Terry Etter: “Have you seen the Aspen Dental commercial where Danica Patrick tells the dental technician they have a lot in common? Yeah, the dental technician has never

won a NASCAR race either.” • National Football League training camps are finally in full swing and “as usual,” cracked NBC’s Seth Meyers, “the New England Patriots camp began with the ceremonial burning of the rule book.” • Reader “The Rajah,” to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, on the biggest drawback to the Browns’ variable ticket-pricing policy: “The fact that one of the two teams will still be the Browns.” • Comedian Argus Hamilton, on Pats QB Tom Brady destroying his cellphone and all the messages in it: “He did this on the advice of his attorney, Tiger Woods.” • Brad Rock of the Salt Lake City Deseret Sun, after Massachusetts newlyweds delayed their honeymoon until Tom Brady’s Deflategate case is resolved: “Here’s hoping they aren’t waiting to start a family until Aaron Hernandez gets out of prison.” • Greg Cote of the Miami Herald, on Jose Fernandez’s 15-0 alltime record at home and having his next start during the Marlin’s ‘Bark in the Park’ night: “Opponents haven’t bothered or derailed Jose at home. Let’s see if a bunch of yapping dogs can.” • Another one from Cote: “Dolphin Cam Wake posed with an uncaged tiger in Thailand. ‘That was intimidating,’ said the tiger.” • Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “I hereby nominate Rickie Fowler

for the Golf Hall of Fame. And this has nothing to do with Fowler shooting an ace and sending a bucket of cold beer to the press tent.” • Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “‘Camp David”’ a play about President Jimmy Carter, is coming to Broadway. Of course, President Obama’s life story will be told on the Golf Channel.” • Comedy writer Gary Bachman: “1980 U.S. hockey hero, Jim Craig, is selling flag, gold medal, jersey for $5.7M. He should post them on ‘Craigslist.’” • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Talk about painful to watch at times: This year’s squad puts the S&M in Seattle Mariners.” • Blogger TC Chong: “NY Mets shortstop

Wilmer Flores was shown on TV crying after they told him he had been traded. The deal fell through but Tom Hanks still said he wanted to have a few words with young Wilmer.” • Jimmy Fallon of NBC’s Tonight Show: “The International Olympic Committee is oﬃcially recognizing ultimate Frisbee, which means it might actually be in the next Olympics.

They say ultimate Frisbee will be the first Olympic sport where athletes are disqualified for NOT testing positive for drugs.” • Fallon again: “Happy birthday to Tom Brady, who turned 38 years old today. He had a great party, but it got weird when someone caught him letting air out of the balloons.” Care to comment? Email brucepenton2003@ yahoo.ca

Marathon

This year race organizers put names on each hill runners/walkers tackled. The names were in jest and used as motivation including Purgatory Hill, Hell Hill, The Moose, and more; but, as race organizer Eugene Brown joked with participants, The Bear (pictured above) was named for another reason, “We named it The Bear because there was some scat there... no, just kidding, but I did see a bear near the corrals which is by that hill a few years ago, it was just a coincidence.”

Since 1912, Marjorie Scott Cowie Hunt has enjoyed a century of lake lifeall of it at White Bear Lake-and much of it documented in the poetry she writes. Although the 102-yearold Regina resident now lives in a care home, she regularly

travelled to White Bear Lake to enjoy summers there until very recently, and still draws on her memories of those summers at the lake as fuel for her writing. Hunt’s eyesight is now failing, so as a result, she writes her poems by memory until they can be dictated and transcribed. The Observer’s July 31 feature “A lifetime

of lake life: Marjorie Hunt’s century of memories” generated much reader interest in Hunt’s poetry, specifically, “Memories”, the poem that inspired our story: Memories By Marjorie Scott Cowie Hunt White Bear Lake is still a gem I see it now, remembering when.

At Carlyle Lake so long ago Regatta was a name to know. To Hotel Beach we quickly went To water sports, the main event. The competitions were the best The swim, the dive and all the rest. Tin Lizzies came to swell the crowds Who say on logs and

hollered loud. Dog paddlers swam right near the beach With Mom or Dad within their reach. An anchored raft with judges three A way out there so they could see. They called results both loud and clear With megaphones so we could cheer. From cottages contestants came, Photo submitted

Now 102, Marjorie Scott Cowie Hunt reflects on her century of summers at White Bear Lake and uses her memories to inspire and inform her poetry. Some Wileys, Tripps and Woods by name. The Mitchell boys we’d come to know Their water skills just sparked the show. For they had learned beside the sea. Were more prepared than you and me. Jack, Bill, Bob and Dick would show Some new techniques we’d want to know. Events went on, excitement grew Amazing what our kids could do. Boat races were the very last Those wooden boats they rowed so fast. We cheered them on and crowded in Hopefully to see the win. When finally the noise abated The lake was cleared where bathers waited. They plunged right in for swim and fun Relaxation had begun. New friendships made as day progressed Regatta clearly was the best. So decades pass as decades will What had become of Mitchell’s Bill? His writing fine we’ve come to know Saskatchewan’s pride is W.O.

Some memories are realities, that is what Violet Daku will be remembering ñ her trip with son Allen to Chitek Lake to join Murray Daku and family, Dale Daku and familyóthe boat rides, scenery, fellowship - good food, etc. Yes, speaking of memories as we get older those are very cherishable. Lanny and Jean Sostorics spent a few days with their son Mark, Deyaliz and Dagny Sostorics in Calgary and at Lake Newell, they visited with Craig, Cheryl and Sarah Hurnard at Leduc, stopped in Saskatoon to visit Shirley Hurnard. The crops they saw from the highways south of Calgary were looking nice but east central Alberta were very dry and the pastures looked barren. Yvonne Bertalon and Karrisa along with myself enjoyed the Kenosee Lake Kitchen Party when Jeremy Green of Lampman took part for the second year and he had the privilege of having Emily Dubois being his instructor---good evening enjoyed by everyone attending. This week we are looking forward to attending the evening performances held every night for the next two

weeks, I think this is a wonderful experience and learning for everyone taking part, not only the music, but the fellowship that goes along. Congratulations to everyone having any part of all camps that are held during the summer. Lois and Bob Brickley have been enjoying the summer months spending time with their four grandchildren during the holidays (they have been at the farm). Lots of diﬀerent experiences at Grandpa and Grandma’s house. Margaret Debenham and I spent Friday afternoon visiting residents at the home and hospital in Kipling, also Jim and Amaret Smyth, Harold and Dorothy McQuitty. A very enjoyable afternoon at the home of Cal and Yvonne Abrahamson of Montmartre on Saturday when Gloria Rupert and I visited with them. We also had a short visit with Glenda Shotter at the camp site - the boys were enjoying their swimming lessons. You can tell by the news there was very little I knew about. Oh well everyone has those weeks. Reality is something you rise above.

Free water service suspended by Town of Carlyle Lynne Bell Observer Staff

Water The Town of Carlyle held its regular bi-weekly meeting on Aug. 5. With regret, council agreed to cancel the free water service that has been made available to those wanting to fill small containers at the Carlyle Water Treatment Plant, due to a person or persons filling up a 250-gallon water tank without paying. This is eﬀective immediately.

Road repairs CN Rail has been repairing the road where the railroad tracks were previously located near the end of Main Street. Southeast Paving has crack-sealed Main Street. Repairs were done in the early morning and after 6 p.m., so that businesses on Main Street were not inconvenienced.

It was getting dark but Allison’s Park Store, in Moose Mountain Provincial Park, was still open. With summer hours of 9:00 am -10:00 pm it’s one more reason why the whole area feels like there’s a magical transformation - Kenosee Lake and White Bear - become the city of Moose Jaw. With the warnings of thunder, lightning, and tornadoes all around I drove well before 10:00 pm closing time for the store. It was a Monday evening with July nearly gone on the 27th it was dandy when I saw flashing lights of red, green, yellow, blue, lavender, and on and on. It looked so welcoming on the bleak evening just before nature’s storm. Friday, August 7, Senior Director, Jackie Doty, of BeautiControl, a skin care company and more, had an amazing gathering of her consultants, friends, and others in the Village of Kenosee Lake for the evening. Agnes Hewitt, of Regina, arrived via a bridge friend to spend a few days at “B’s Bed & Breakfast.” They spent some time visiting friends at the Red Market Barn. Agnes took in the bridge tournament at the Four Seasons Monday, August 10. There were 12 1/2 tables of bridge players.

It has surely been great summer weather this past week and if weatherman is correct it’s supposed to remain hot for the next week or so – let’s hope so – no more rain wanted now as harvesting is beginning or is well underway. Right around the Alida area it’s been mostly swathing of winter wheat, fall rye, early barley, peas and now canola. Of course desiccating of wheat fields is also getting underway and some combining of crops such as peas. Another busy season is upon us – just remember everyone to be safe out there in the fields among those big machines. Good luck with the harvesting farmers. Once again folks – please remember to give me a call (306-443-2496) or an e-mail (g.cowan@ sasktel.net) or a text (306-485-8561) by Sunday evening. I do appreciate your help and assistance, makes the column interesting to read.

Squash in the alley

Bad highways not solely province’s fault By Calvin Daniels Recently I had the opportunity to drive Highway #22 from Killaly to Lemberg, and a couple of weeks earlier had covered the stretch from Highway #10 to Lemberg. To say the asphalt surface was a patchwork aﬀair would be an understatement, starting with the fact you have to dodge holes which have yet to be patched. Now granted they have undertaken work to upgrade a couple of small stretches where flooding was obviously an issue, but those repairs were clearly made just to keep the highway useable. As for the rest of the highways the expectation of it ever being filled or upgraded is realistically not on the books until the year two-thousand-and-never. The stretch of highway though is a great example of how the system has changed over the years, and what the impact has been on Prairie infrastructure. Towns on the Prairies sprung up in the time of horses, built at intervals which allowed a horse and wagon to make a trip to town from area farms in a day. As we evolved to trucks, towns were too close together, and many disappeared through the years. Those that remained generally has a grain elevator served by a railroad. They were then connected with pavement, much of it to standards aligned to carry much smaller grain and service trucks than we see today. Then came the great rationalization of the grain collection system that which occurred well within recent memory. It was a two-pronged development which saw the Prairie landscape forever changed.

On one hand rail companies were allowed to abandon miles and miles of branch line. At the same time grain companies began closing small elevators in favour of more centralized, high throughput facilities. From a purely business perspective, that of the rail and grain companies, the moves made sense as a way to improve efficiencies and boost profits. But there was a cost to the Prairies. Without a grain elevator or rail line more and more communities died, a process which continues in the sense many which have hung on have little prospect of a sustainable future. Grain farmers traded in small trucks for semi units, and headed ever farther down the blacktop to deliver their grain. Many of the highways were not designed to handle the constant heavier loads. They punched full of holes, and the coffers of the province are not deep enough to affect the steady repairs, or upgrades now needed. Small communities trying to attract new residents have to now sell them on a move which may mean an obstacle course of potholes every time they leave home. It is not a selling point. Communities and the province have been left trying to find the cash to fix a road system illsuited to the system thrust upon it by business rationalization of the rail and grain collection sectors. It’s not something that can be changed now, but the next time you bounce over a hole on a highway, remember to thank the rail companies and grain handlers before pointing the finger solely at the province.

By Linda Wegner Like many citizens of our community, the neighbour two doors south of us has a flourishing garden. It’s thriving so well, in fact, that vines have wormed their way through the fencing and established themselves on a narrow patch of ground between the wooden barrier and the concrete alley way. I wondered if the huge yellow flowers would survive the traﬃc that moves regularly between Fir and Hawthorn Streets but they have and now, in their place, summer squash are fattening. I’ve been thinking about those squash and one in particular: it’s big and it looks so inviting to someone who is a connoisseur of the Cucurbita family. What’s most interesting, though, is that is has remained untouched for a few weeks. My conclusion? Either our area of the community is as honest and integrity-filled as I chose to believe it is or there aren’t a lot of squash lovers around this part of town. Musing aside, there’s a lot of nourishment resident in that gourd and I hope the right person (owner or otherwise) receives the full benefit of its goodness. As we consider the millions of people around the world who would give anything for a meal a day, let alone three, I can’t help but grieve over the food that is wasted in this, our “land of plenty”. I’ve tucked two valuable lessons into my heart and mind via that rambling vine: first, may my life, like that of the Old Testament hero Joseph, provide godly nourishment to those around me. “Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine near a spring, whose branches climb over a wall.” (Genesis 49:22) Then, there is no greater privilege than to garner my own soul’s nourishment from Jesus Christ, the Source of all our strength. “I am the vine, you are the branches.” (John 15:5)

In Memoriam In Memory of James A. Kyle (Bubs) May 28-1919 to July 30-2007

Beside your grave I often stand, and want to reach out to your hand I will remember you with a smile today For you were not one for tears, Instead I will reflect on the memories of all those happy years I do recall the way you talked and the things you had to say, Your strength, your stance and the way you walked. The good advice you gave each and everyday. Gone but not forgotten, although we are apart and your memory lives with me forever in my heart. Love Leona & family 13-1

U.S. Navy serviceman marries Yorkton nurse Foam Lake United Church was decorated with American miniature carnations and baby-breath on August 14,1965 when Joan Sylvia, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Magera of Foam Lake exchanged vows in a double-ring ceremony with Garold Richard, son of Mrs. Edna Roy of Jeffers, Minnesota. Rev. W. R. Cowan officiated. Organist, Mrs. Cecil Osborne, played the “Hawaiian Wedding Song.” Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a floorlength sheath style gown of organza over satin with lace and pearl appliques adorning the bodice and skirt. A detachable train was held in place by a back bow and the sleeves ended in lily points at her wrists. Her shoulderlength four-tiered vail sprinkled with seed pearls misted from a crown-shaped tiara. She carried a mauve orchid with stephanotis on a white Nurses’ Testament, and her only jewelry was a strand of white cultured pearls, a gift from the groom. Congratulations of 50 Years of marriage Your loving children, Calvin, Clinton & Nicole and families

The 2015 edition of the White Bear Lake Ladies Golf Tournament raised $6,800 for STARS Air Ambulance. “We’re thrilled and we’d like to thank everyone who supported the tournament,” says the event’s co-founder, Jacky Lothian (pictured middle) with fellow founders Colleen Brown (left) and Ev Sillers (right). “STARS is something we can all support,” adds Lothian. “Because the need for STAR’s assistance is something that could potentially affect anyone in this province. Like their slogan says, they truly are ‘A symbol of hope in the sky.’”
