Carlyle’s Kirkland Chalus to showcase sporting skills at baseball’s Perfect Game MLK Championships By Lynne Bell Carlyle’s Kirkland Chalus is once again showcasing his baseball abilities in the United States, this time as a member of Regina-based Team IP Prospects 18U squad, as he steps up to the plate at the 2015 Perfect Game MLK Championships in Peoria, Arizona from January 16-19. In August 2014, Chalus competed in the Senior League Baseball World Series in Bangor, Maine as a member of Team Canada. The tournament took place at the Shawn T. Mansfield Stadium, a $1.2 million-dollar facility built with funds donated by bestselling author and Bangor resident, Stephen King. This time, Chalus will play at Camelback Ranch, the spring training home of both the Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers. “If Kirkland does well at this tournament, there are hundreds of college coaches scouting kids, and also reps from every Major League team,” says Chalus’s mentor and former coach, Blaine Kovach of Estevan, who will be coaching the 14U Team IP Prospects at the Arizona showcase. “It’s an amazing experience, and this will be my second time here as a coach,” adds Kovach, who himself received a college scholarship via his baseball talent. “It’s wild to see,” says Kovach. “It’s pretty overwhelming, because it’s an important tournament and there are a total of 23 teams competing. Americans are crazy for baseball, so the crowds really come out to cheer.” Chalus agrees. “Americans take the game to a whole new level. It’s their pastime, after all. In Bangor, you were guaranteed that the stands would be half-full, but most of the time they were completely packed.” “It’s great playing in front of a crowd like that and just walking on a field like Camelback, where all-stars have walked on and played on will be a great experience.” Chalus says high-level tournaments can be both thrilling and nervewracking, but says he prefers to focus on his love of the game and his desire to grow and improve as a player. “I’m going into this to gain more experience,” he says. “The more I can learn, the better I can be. The more experience I can get, the more I can learn and improve as a player.” Although Chalus has only been playing with Team IP Prospects “for about a month,” he says it isn’t unusual for teams playing at this level to bond quickly. “I am kind of new,” he says. “I usually train by myself in winter to as high a level as I can. But you focus on your own team and you quickly become one of the team. When I was chosen to play for Team Canada in Bangor, we had a really short time to pull together as a team. But you just have to really focus on what you can do, not what you think you can’t do.” “Everyone wants to win, wants to do their best, and wants to get looked at,” adds Chalus. “Everyone wants to look good and wants the team to do well, so it’s not a problem, even though we’ve been together a really short time.” The grade 11 student says his love of the sport began in elementary school. “By the time I was 10 or 11, I started wanting to keep playing,” says Chalus. “I started out with just a love of the game. I wasn’t the best player, but I just played and practiced a lot, and kept training. Then I started to do things I didn’t think I could.” Chalus says Kovach’s coaching has been an integral part of his success and his growth as a player. “He’s a very good coach,” says Chalus. “He knows exactly what the game is about. He knows how to play and how to carry himself through. He’s taught me everything I know.” Kovach says that Chalus’s talent is matched by his work ethic and positive attitude. “The kid’s awesome. I wish I had a whole team of Kirklands. He leaves his heart on the field, and he’s not selfish. He plays the game like it should be played.”

Observer launches new website: get excited for added content

Staff photo by Kelly Running

The Observer launched a new website last November and is planning on including more content on the website including videos and contests. Stay informed at www.carlyleobserver.com.

By Kelly Running The Observer launched a new website in November, http://www.carlyleobserver.com/, which will bring with it more content and excite people about the news in our area even more. Not only does The Observer offer a weekly hardcopy of the paper, but we’re going to be actively updating our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/CarlyleObserver, with up to the minute information as well. Though we’ve been online for years, we were operating on a difficult platform which limited readers. Now we plan on giving everyone a holistic experience accessing the news in our area. The Observer plans to do this by sharing videos and photos from the week on our webpage. Videos of events we attend will be posted and multiple photos will accompany stories now, whereas before we were limited to a single image. The Observer has already begun making these changes with videos embedded into articles already including songs from the Carlyle Band at their winter concert and performances from students at “Manor’s Got Talent!” held before Christmas break at Manor School. You will also be able to get some of your news early as we will begin posting articles on Wednesdays and continue posting them through Thursday and Friday each week. The hard copy of the paper is out Thursday afternoons in Carlyle, but is on stands Fridays elsewhere. Additionally our Digital Edition will be made available Friday mornings. This is another major change. Prior to this updated version, The Observer was only able to host one digital edition and it was changed each week to correspond to that week’s paper. Now you’re able to view archived papers as well, which we have up from Oct. 31, 2014, and we will continue to add the new edition each week. Additionally the website will allow us to post breaking news. If you’re checking the website a link will appear below the tabs underneath our header taking you to the breaking news article. Finally we will be running contests through our new website as well. We are currently accepting Christmas photos, whether it’s a sweet photo of the family or an ugly sweater picture with friends, send it in for a chance to win. The photo will be posted to our website and you’ll be able to share and vote for your favourites, with the winner receiving a gift certificate to King’s Department Store. We’re very excited to have released a more comprehensive website for our readers and hope you’ll join us online as well as continue to enjoy our printed version out weekly.

The new website allows us to include photos and videos in our online content such as a dance by some Manor School youth during their talent show in December.

“It’s not all hockey,” continues Kovach. “These tournaments offer the opportunity for a good education at the college or university level in both Canada and the U.S. They’re a great opportunity for small-town kids looking to play ball.” The young left-fielder says that either a scholarship or a Major League opportunity in Arizona would “Most definitely be a dream come true. Either or both would be awesome,” says Chalus. “Playing on the Canadian team this summer in Bangor and now this; it’s awesome,” he adds. “I’d like to thank everyone who has helped me through the yearsmy family, my coaches, my friends. There are so many people who have got me where I am today.”

Public meeting to be held on Jan. 20 for Redvers Arts Centre’s future

The basement of the Redvers Arts Centre following the flooding event last summer.

By Kelly Running The flooding event at the end of June 2014 caused much damage to property in and around Redvers. One of the buildings whose future is currently unknown includes the Redvers Arts Centre, which had over 16 inches of water in the basement. There have been structural concerns since August when an inspection was done. “The Redvers Arts Centre was flooded during the June 28-30 flooding in Redvers,” Graham James, Chairperson of the Redvers Arts Council wrote earlier. “We received over 1.5 feet of water above the wooden basement floor. The preliminary cleanup was done in July to get things dried out properly and to remove damaged property.” Thanking volunteers for their help, James continued to explain the situation stating the insurance policy on the centre will not cover the repairs as the flooding had been caused by overland flooding or ground water; there was no sewer backup which would have meant damages could have been claimed. Applying for Provincial Disaster Assistance (PDAP), an adjuster attended the location in August to assess the costs involved to help determine the Arts Centre level of need. A structural engineer joined the adjustor to check the integrity of the structure following the flooding.

Obituary

Sandy Maxwell

It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of Doris Sandra Maxwell (MacDonald). Sandy passed away December 29th 2014 at 10:30 pm in St. Paul’s Hospital, Saskatoon. Sandy fought a valiant ¿ght with cancer but lost the battle quietly with friends and family around her. Born February 18th, 1949 to Dot and Ken MacDonald of Carlyle Sk. Sandra is survived by her husband Glenn, son Jayson and siblings, Donna (Lorne), Dennis (Connie), and Donald (Kathy).

Sandra, as her family called her, grew up in Carlyle attended school and generally made lasting friends with whoever crossed her path. She attended university in Regina taking training to be a teacher. The kids of the world were lucky to have such a caring intelligent person guiding them. She ¿rst taught in Uranium City where she met and married Glenn Maxwell. We were blessed with our son Jayson. Her sister Donna and brothers Dennis and Donald were so dear to Sandra. Lorne, Connie, Kathy, Noreen and Judy became part of the MacDonald family so were loved by this marvelous person Sandy. Many nieces, nephews and cousins on Glenn’s side and the Macdonald side knew Sandy as someone to rely on for a birthday hello or just “how are you”? Somewhere in our travels we meet someone who makes a difference in our lives, I was so

fortunate to marry one. The heartbreak of losing her is only tempered by the memory of the laugher, crying and hugs she brought. She often quoted her dad that told her,” we are built to close to the river”, so crying came easy. She loved Wilbur, Ra, Tinkerbelle and pretty much any animal she met, even a lamb she loved named Samson. This woman was so special and the big family gathering up yonder will have a few more laughs and hugs because she will be there. Good-bye my love and make a place for us all. There will be a celebration held in Saskatoon at the Park Funeral Chapel January 10th at 1:00 A second celebration of Sandy’s life will be held in Carlyle Sk, at a later date. In lieu of Àowers, donations may be made in Sandy’s name to the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency, the SPCA or a charity of the donor’s choice.

From page 2 – Redvers Arts Centre Built in approximately 1949 the Redvers Arts Council acknowledged that there would definitely be recommendations made by the inspector. Though the full report was not made available until September the Redvers Arts Council was contacted immediately following the inspection regarding a cracked basement and other concerns, which led the Arts Centre to close its doors. Following this initial inspection the Redvers Arts Board hired a second structural engineer to provide another opinion of what needs to be done. “Our estimates to repair the building to pre-flooding conditions would exceed $2,000,” the Arts Council explained in a statement. “However, the engineer also said that even if the recommendations were all carried out, he felt the building would not likely last another five to 10 years before other parts of the building’s structure would cause the building to close again.” This means the Redvers Arts Council has concluded a new home must be found for the Redvers Arts Centre. Ultimately they wish to see a new Arts Centre and community hall, but would like the community and surrounding area to weigh in on the prospective project. “We are excited about new possibilities and hope the community will rally around this addition to Redvers and area,” the Redvers Arts Council wrote. “We are excited about new possibilities and hope the community will rally around this addition to Redvers and area.” “We feel this will allow us to continue to have a theatre and space for movies, concerts, dance, drama, art and community events. We would like to expand the size of the hall and include a kitchen as well.” Everyone is therefore invited to the Redvers Activity Centre on Tuesday, Jan. 20, at 7 p.m. to a public meeting which will act as a forum for discussion regarding the project. “2015 will be a busy year as we fundraise and plan for a new space that will allow us to continue programming into the future and provide a new space for community events,” the Redvers Arts Council stated. “Please join us on Jan. 20. If you have any questions and/or you would like to help, please contact Graham James, Gwen Arthur, or Dellan Mathewson or any other Arts Council board member.”

Artist Chris Henderson’s New Year a “big year”

Staff photo by Lynne Bell

Country artist Chris Henderson has an exciting year planned, both personally and professionally. Henderson will marry his fiancee, teacher Janelle Howlett in September. Musically, 2015 will have the singer-songwriter writing in Nashville, hitting the studio for his third recording project, and touring extensively, with dates planned for Saskatchewan and Alberta. “It’ll be a big year,” he says. Here Henderson is pictured performing at the 2014 Dickens Festival in Carlyle. By Lynne Bell Saskatchewan country artist Chris Henderson says 2015 “will be a big year” for him, personally and professionally. “I’ll be getting married to my fiancee (teacher Janelle Howlett), in September,” says Henderson. “And I’ll be working on my third recording project, writing for that and hopefully, for some other artists in Nashville; as well as touring and attending the CCMAs (Canadian Country Music Awards) in Halifax.” Henderson’s second release, ‘My Turn’, has received critical acclaim, landing on the 2014 top ten lists of Canadian music critics, and he is justifiably proud of the recording, and working hard on new music. “I did lots of writing last fall for my third project,” says Henderson. “I’m planning on heading into the studio in late February or early March to record. I’m hoping to get a single out by summertime.” “I’ve done a lot of writing during the past few months,” he continues. “I’ve been writing with Troy Kokol, who is a really, really talented guy; as well as (country artists) Jonie Delaurier and Jake Matthews. I’ve also been working with Russ Froom, who has worked with Jann Arden for about 20 years, and Willy Mack.” “The song ‘Don’t Miss Your Kiss Goodbye’ from the ‘My Turn’ album was named Song of the Year at the 2014 SCMA (Saskatchewan Country Music Awards),” adds Henderson. Willy Mack, Troy Kokol and I wrote it and it was our first song to break the top 50.” “In Nashville, I’ll continue writing and I’ll also be co-writing with some writers who have written for Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Lee Bryce, and Dierks Bentley. Then I’ll hit the studio.” The former high school English teacher taught “for about a semester” at Gordon F. Kells High School in Carlyle, while living in Manor, then moved to Regina to pursue a full-time music career. “I’ve been playing in bands since I was 16,” says Henderson. “When I was about 21 or 22, I started taking it seriously. I’m 30 now, and in the last year or so, it seems like I’m the new guy, but I’ve been working at this a long time.” “You never know how it’s going to turn out, so you really do it for the love of music.” Henderson says musically, his priority is to stay true to himself as an artist. “I’m trying to define a sound going forward,” he says. “I grew up playing in rock and punk bands. When I got older, I got into more country, listening to Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. And of course, rock influences are big, too, especially when you grow up on the prairies.” When he’s not creating his own sound, Henderson listens to “A lot of Canadian guys lately: Blake berglund, George Canyon and Bobby Wills. I caught Blake’s show at Kenosee this year, after my show at the Dickens Festival in Carlyle. I’ve also been listening to Dierks (Bentley) and Chris Stapleton.” Comfortable working on both sides of the 49th parallel, Henderson’s first project, ‘Follow the Signs’ (2008) was recorded in Nashville, while its award-winning followup, ‘My Turn’ was “Ninety-five percent Saskatchewan-produced,” says Henderson. “‘My Turn’ was a real Saskatchewan product,” he says. “It broke into the Top 50. It was recorded here and it shows we can do it here, too.” Born and raised in Estevan, Henderson says the support of area fans is both important to and appreciated by him. “I’m always excited to return to the southeast corner of the province and bumping into people who know me and my family. They’re great when it comes to keeping up with what I’m doing.” “This year, I’ve got lots of things planned musically,” adds Henderson. “So stay tuned.” To keep up with Chris Henderson, check out ChrisHenderson.com, Chris Henderson Band on Facebook or @Hendersonmusic on Twitter.

OBSERVER OPINION Don’t get hung up By Shelley Luedtke

he snow just kept falling with no sign of letting up. Sitting in my favorite chair with a good book I could take in the beauty through the picture window without giving too much thought to the immense task of snow removal that awaited everyone. The setting of the book, combined with the weather, caused me to think longingly of a summer vacation several years earlier when I soaked up stunning sunshine while relaxing in a beach chair enjoying an equally great book by the same author. My mind easily recalled the sandcastles we built with our girls, the evenings around a campfire, the store with the many flavors of ice cream, and walks along interesting trails as we explored the campground. There was something else on that vacation--a freak occurrence resulting in our 4-year old falling out of the tent trailer in the middle of the night and getting hung up on a rope holding the canvas in place. My husband flew across the trailer and out the door in a heartbeat and right away she was safe in her daddy’s arms but the event left us shaken for quite some time. As one year ends and another begins it is a prime opportunity for news, sports, business and entertainment analysts to look back and evaluate the top stories of the past year. As the lists are reviewed there will be many events recalled easily while others require a jog of the memory. The likelihood of us remembering a particular event could depend on the size of the story, the impact it had on us personally, or even at what point of the year it occurred. The airliner tragedy of December 28 is very familiar especially since the story is still unfolding, but how easily do we recall the airline disaster in July which claimed 116 lives? When asked what the top medical stories of the year were we would probably list Ebola but would we remember to add poliomyelitis which the World Health Organization declared a public health emergency of international concern? To read and listen to the accounts one might think the past year was all about racism, terrorism, violence, corruption, bombings, and shootings. There was more. Much more. But it might take time for those images to emerge amidst what is in the forefront of our thoughts. If I think back to the past year of my own life certain events rise to remembrance first. I have made mistakes. I have regrets. There were things I had hoped to do which didn’t get completed. I’ve been hurt and I have no doubt I hurt others. But I also accomplished things I hadn’t anticipated and got to experience special moments I hadn’t necessarily planned for when 2014 rolled out. There were times when I found the merry-go-round of daily activity taking one too many trips around the same route but there were also roller coasters (both figurative and literal) that took my breath away. There were of course many things that don’t quickly come to mind since the passing of even a few months has muted their noteworthiness…or blunted their sting. But it can never diminish the impact they have had on my life. That’s the reason we can reminisce about a camping trip and joyfully recall sandcastles and campfires rather than close calls and rope burns. It’s the reason we can look back at national and international events and see reason to hope rather than be paralyzed by their brutality. It’s the reason that no matter how arbitrary it may be, as a new year rolls around each January it can provide a sense of new possibilities and unbridled optimism--if we let it. The past cannot be changed--nor entirely forgotten--but certainly built upon. So we set our feet on the fresh path and continue the journey. A new year can provide the motivation to look at things differently--to do things better--to chart a new course with the intent of creating new results. Perhaps it’s not so much about making New Year’s resolutions as it is about being resolute in what matters in the new year. That’s my outlook.

Mexican-Canadian narco relations By Kelly Running

n late December, Edmonton Police Service arrested four Mexican drug cartel members and seized rifles, a handgun, a sawed-off shotgun, body armour, and ammunition. They also seized cocaine, methamphetamines, oxycodone, and cash. My friend from Alberta is actually working on a Masters, with intentions of completing a Ph.D. in Anthropology focused on violence along the Mexican/ American border. She shared the link to a CBC article addressing the arrests, so I read it and told her I found it was quite interesting. The article explained La Familia alleged gang members were arrested including a Nova Scotia man. Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT), which specializes in investigating serious and organized crime, found themselves investigating the cartel’s involvement in attempting to take over Alberta’s drug trade. The group was trying to take on the supply lines to Edmonton, Fort McMurray, Drayton Valley, Lloydminster, and Red Deer.

To do this they were looking to recruit new members and expand into new territories. She asked my opinion on the situation and I found myself wondering more about the Canadian situation regarding already established drug trafficking gangs. Is there going to be an escalation of violence in Canada between these gangs and the Mexican cartel that is attempting to move in. According to an article in September from a site looking at Organized Crime in the Americas, Canadian gangs are actually beginning to work with Mexican cartels. Apparently the connection benefits both groups because Mexican cartels have the supply lines, while the Canadian criminal element has easier ties when transporting their product to Australia. So my wonderment of whether or not gang-related violence is going to escalate, may not necessarily have been the right question when expressing my thoughts on the article. Apparently by working together, Canadian organized crime and Mexican drug cartels can eliminate the middleman, while increasing revenues through this relationship. Ultimately I guess the question is simply how this will affect Canada. Will the country be flooded with drugs, will

the RCMP be able to keep up with the narcotics trafficking set to occur, or will everything simply run the way it has until now. My friend’s reaction to the CBC articles were along the same lines of wanting to know what this will mean for Canada. She did say that she found the articles to sound very dangerous, which the situation is dangerous, but at the same time she found it to be somewhat sensationalized. However, she’s used to a different element of violence studying the Mexico-U.S. Border where finding a couple of .22s, a handgun, four cartel members, and drugs has become a common occurrence: in fact I would venture to say that what was seized in Edmonton would be trivial where the war on drugs is mainly being waged. So, I do think the weight of this bust in Canada is on a different spectrum, which means it isn’t necessarily being sensationalized in Canadian media because this kind of thing is either not talked about a lot or is not a common occurrence. Thus, it sounds sensationalized, when really it is something usually not talked about resulting in it being construed in this way by my friend.

OBSERVER LIFESTYLES Parenting Tips from Regional KidsFirst – Healthy sexual development begins at birth Does your baby love to be naked? Does he often touch himself when he is in the tub or being diapered? Not to worry, this is all a normal part of your baby’s development. Babies usually discover their genitals at the same time as they discover their hands and feet. Babies enjoy touch (snuggles, hugs and kisses) as well as skin to skin contact. From 2 – 5 years, young children are quite familiar with their own bodies and identify themselves as either a boy or a girl. They may show interest and curiosity about the bodies of others. This is the time to teach your children the concept of privacy. Without instilling a sense of guilt or shame, explain to your child that touching his/her genitals should be done in private. Your children may ask questions such as “Where do babies come from?” Try to give short, but honest answers, with only as much detail as your child asks for. Throughout your child’s development, be aware of possible signs of sexual abuse. Encourage your child to always tell you if someone is touching them inappropriately. Teach your child: ● Proper names for body parts ● That his or her body belongs to him or her ● That he/she has a right to privacy ● The difference between appropriate and inappropriate touch By talking to your children at a young age about healthy sexual development, you will become more comfortable talking about sex with him/her as they grow older.

The water is moving! By Linda Wegner Just days after Christmas, I took my final ferry trip of the year. After several days on a most pleasant business trip, I was heading home. In view of having a totally relaxing experience I’d chosen to take the bus; not only was it less expensive, it was less stressful than driving up British Columbia’s winding Sunshine Coast. The water was flat and I looked forward to a non-eventful 50 minute sailing. After exiting the bus, I hurried up to the passenger deck, grabbed a cup of tea in the café and then seated myself next to a portside window. Shortly afterwards I heard the

engines kick in and with a shudder the ship began to back out of the dock. There was nothing extraordinary about it; in fact, it couldn’t have been more ordinary. That’s when I heard the delightful voice of an excited little boy, “Daddy, look!” he called, “Look, the water’s moving.” I instinctively looked out to confirm what I already knew: although it was the ship that was in motion, to an inexperienced eye, it seemed as if the water was doing the propelling instead of the vessel’s engines. It definitely was a matter of perception. Life can be a lot like

that, a matter of perception. Viewing the chaos of world conditions and the all-too-frequent questions that living can bring, emotions can be mixed. What’s behind my current situation? Who’s in charge of these circumstances? Is it the boat or the water that moving all around me? “The floods have lifted up, O Lord, The floods have lifted up their waves,” wrote one of the psalmists but then, in a declaration of praise he continued. “The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, than the mighty waves of the sea!” Come ship or sea, He reigns!

On Saturday, December 6, 2014, the Alida Recreation Board hosted their second annual Christmas fundraiser. The focus of the fundraiser this year was to raise funds for the renovation of the rink lobby and curling ice after the devastating flood the end of June 2014. Pictured is Newalta’s donation of $2,500.

Pause for Reflection

By Ken Rolheiser www.kenrolheiser.com

Taking in breathfuls of love The gift of love in age is that we don’t have to imagine each other young and beautiful again – as long as we take in breathfuls of love – we are. Recently I overheard a radio message that said in effect that with every breath you take, you inhale six molecules from every breath Beyoncé exhales. This conclusion comes from a guesstimation in solving a “Fermi problem” Mathematics students are asked to struggle with. An on-line comment on this revelation said: “The last breath I took also had six molecules of Jay Z’s breath and six molecules of Solange’s breath from a year ago. There was a mini-brawl in my lungs.” Another remarked: Methane isn’t healthy to breathe! All kidding aside there is much to reflect on beyond the hot air just discussed. As creatures we are grateful to the creator who out of love

breathed life into us: “The breathing of Shaddai [God Almighty] that gave me life” (Job 33:4). One of my favourite passages from Ezekiel 37:4-14 describes what the end time may be like when our bodies rise from death: “Prophesy over these bones and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.’ Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones, ‘Behold, I will cause breath to enter you…that you may come alive; and you will know that I am the LORD.’” As we live the Christian life God’s breath as Spirit enlivens us: “So Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.’ And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit’” (John 20:21Being conscious of the breath of God in and about us can change our lives. The miraculous surrounds us daily. Finding the breath of God on the morning dew can make us

grateful. Breathing love can bring peace, where breathing hatred brings discord. We serve at God’s will as his loving breath enables us. Job 34:1415 tell us that if God withdrew his Spirit, his Breath, from the earth even for a moment, “all flesh would perish together, and man would return to dust”. Realizing that every breath we take is a breathful of love will change us. In a poem “Breath of God” I express these sentiments: If I were a tree and you were the air I’d spread my boughs to touch all of you I’d shelter you from the sun’s heat Just to feel your cool breath My shadows would dance I’d never tire of new ways to love you And I conclude with: But I am not a tree and your breath is life And you give me all my senses can touch Never tiring of new ways to delight me.

THIS WEEK - Sydney Hill to play in Canada Winter Games - Big Six hockey action update Have a sports story or score? Call the Observer at (306) 453-2525

Hockey’s Sydney Hill to represent province at Canada Winter Games By Lynne Bell Sixteen-year-old hockey player Sydney Hill of Redvers describes the moment she learned she had been selected to play defence for U18 Team Saskatchewan at the upcoming Canada Winter Games in Prince George, B.C., as “just happiness.” Hill, the daughter of Drs. Christine Ewert Hill and Clarke Hill of Head For The Hills Veterinary, is a second-year boarder at the Warner Hockey School in Warner, Alberta. The Redvers resident says of her selection to Team Sask: “You’re competing against the best players in Saskatchewan for those spots. There are returning girls who have made the team before and know the ropes. There are lots of new girls, too, so there’s lots of competition.” Hill says the road to Team Saskatchewan is a year-long process, with no guarantees. “Tryouts are at the very beginning of the year. From January to March 2014, there were open tryouts for all of the girls in Saskatchewan, in Regina and Saskatoon. From those tryouts, the top 80 players are picked and two teams each from the south and the north play in the Sask First Tournament. The top 42 players from those teams go on to Notre Dame in Wilcox, where you’re looked at by the coaches at a summer camp, and then finally, the last step is being chosen for the Mandi Schwartz Challenge in September.” “You’re basicially watched for the whole year. They’re not just looking at how well you play hockey, your also being judged on how hard you work and your attitude. On the first day you show up, there’s fitness testing, and you can tell really quickly who’s been prepping for the team. They’re also looking at a player’s attitude-both on

and off the ice.” “It’s definitely a journey. I never really understood how much, until I went through the process myself.” Hill’s hockey career began in Redvers, where she, her parents, and her two brothers, Zach and Spencer, live on a nearby farm. “I started playing in Redvers,” says Hill. “All of my friends were playing hockey, so I thought, ‘I can skate, I can try it.’” “I played 8 and under and I was a below-average 8 and under, too. I was really bad at it. I was bad on the ice, and my dad was a pretty good goalie, so the coach put me in goal. They soon discovered that I was worse there than I was on the ice,” she laughs. “There were a lot of kids blaming me for a losing streak, which they should have!” “I started skating backwards a lot more. I’d always loved it, so I did it as much as I could. So they threw me on defense and I loved it.” “At the beginning, I was so bad, but my mom told me not to quit. My parents said that things get more fun if you keep working at them and keep getting better.” “It’s really good advice, and it helped me a lot when I played on teams with boys,” adds Hill. “You have to be just as good or better than them, so it’s great to be able to hold your own.” Hill’s hockey career began to take off in Redvers when she joined the town’s Bantam girls’ team. “They called me and Cassidy Pirlot up. We were younger and Redvers had a really strong girls’ team and I learned a lot.” “In grade 9, I played Triple A in Weyburn. Me and my parents started thinking about university, CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport)

and NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association). We went to Warner (Alberta), with no intention of me going (to the Warner Hockey School) there. We were just looking around. It’s just a tiny little town and we didn’t know much about it.” “Then Mikko Makela (former NHL player, head coach, and school director) came up to me and my parents and said, ‘You need to arrange a meeting.’” “At the meeting my dad asked if I should be there in the next couple of years and Mikko said, ‘No, next year.’” “So we did it. I moved there when I was 14 and I just turned 16 in December, so this is my second year in Warner. I moved from Redvers to Weyburn to play for the Weyburn GoldWings when I was 13. I was homesick almost all the time, but I was by myself in my billet and just bored a lot of the time.” “In Warner, there is a whole bunch of activities and I’m living with the rest of the team. I’m meeting all new people and there’s no time to get homesick. There are 19 girls on the team and the residence rooms are in a converted church, which is pretty cool.” “It’s a pretty small town, so we walk to school. This year, our team has had a pretty good year, and with hockey, school, and all of the other activities, there isn’t really a chance to get too homesick.” During the school year, Hill plays with the Warner Warriors. However, her hockey career doesn’t stop when the school year ends. “I play spring hockey with the South Sask Prairie Ice from Regina and since I was 12, I’ve also played in the summer with the Anaheim Lady Ducks. With Anaheim, it’s usually one big tournament, like

Sixteen-year-old hockey player Sydney Hill of Redvers has been named to Team Saskatchewan and will be playing defense as one of the best players in the the province during the upcoming Canada Winter Games, Feb. 13-March 1, in Prince George, B.C. the Beantown Classic in Boston.” “This year, with Team Saskatchewan, summer’s really booked,” says Hill. “But it feels really good. It’s exciting and nervewracking to be playing alongside the best players in Canada. It all comes back to actually working really hard and not giving up,” says Hill. “I want to continue to

play hockey at the CIS or NCAA levels, and I kind of want to use hockey to get that great education. I’m intrigued by a lot of things, but I’m starting to think of English or law or medicine.” As for the immediate future however, Hill is looking forward to representing her home province at the Canada Winter Games in Prince

Pee Wee Cougars host CORRESPONDENTS WANTED annual tournament The Observer is currently seeking Carrie Pelletier Sports Contributor The Pee Wee’s hosted their home tournament the first weekend in December. Their first action in day one was against the Estevan Storm, who have proved to be tough competition for the young Cats. It was more of the same for the kids as they dropped game one 9 -2. Goal tender Missy Biermann was solid in the loss grabbing the game MVP. The Cats had a long break, with their second game of the day at 2:20 against Regina Blues. Once again, a Carlyle tender would take game MVP. This time it was Zane Winters, grabbing the accolade with a shutout. In the final game of the day the Cougars crossed paths with the Estevan Bruins. Carlyle always seem to bring their A game against the Bruins, taking this contest 6-3, with Kenna Hagel taking MVP honors for the Cats.

The win against the Bruins pushed the kids to the A final on Sunday against the Storm. It was a great final, the Storm edging out the Cougars with a 5-4 victory, and top spot in the tournament. It was a fun weekend, enjoyed by everyone. A shout out to Tracy Hofos and Christina Biermann, who organized an incredibly successful tournament. The Cougars went two and two over their next four game stretch. First up on December 14th, was a 12 -2 home win for the blue shirts vs. the Oxbow Huskies. Their next action was in Carnduff against the Red Devils, living up to their name they handed the Cougars a devious 9-1 loss. This past weekend, the young Cats had a 2 game home stand. Saturday saw the Redvers Rockets blast in to town, firing pucks at Zane Winters from everywhere. He stood tall, especially in the second, but it

Novice Wade Cougars back in full swing Submitted The Carlyle Novice Wade Cougars had a nice break from hockey over the Christmas holidays and are back in full swing. The first game of 2015 was a 2 game tournament held in Carnduff, on Saturday, January 3, 2015. Our first game was against Redvers Jody and our team came up short with a score of 9-6. The second game against Redvers Jamie was a tight one with the final score being 11-11.

The boys enjoyed the day and hopefully are ready for a busy month of hockey. Our team played their first league game against Bienfait on Sunday, January 4, 2015, and put together a good team effort for a big win. Next hockey action: Jan 9th vs Redvers Jody in Redvers @ 5 Jan 10th vs Wawota in Wawota @ 11am Jan 11th vs Oxbow 1 in Oxbow @ 3 pm.

DISPOSAL OF STUDENT CUMULATIVE RECORDS In accordance with the December 2012 version 2 of the Records Retention and Disposal Guide for Saskatchewan School Divisions, South East Cornerstone Public School Division will be disposing of student cumulative files for students born in 1988 and earlier. The records will be disposed of after January 31, 2015.

wasn’t enough as the rockets shot past us 7-1. Game two of the weekend home stand saw The Lampman Imperials in town. The boys (and girls) in blue took it back to basics, using the boards to perfection, with crisp passing, they were able to keep the pressure on Lampman throughout the game. Crowning themselves kings for a day, with an 11-4 win over the Imperials.

Alida News Flora Jeanette Whitfield Mrs. Flora Jeanette Whit¿eld, 84, of Hillview Manor, Estevan, and formerly of Alameda and Carlyle, passed away on Saturday, December 20, 2014. Jeanette was the second daughter born to Fred and Flora (Hitchcock) Krieger and took her schooling in Alameda and St. Michael’s Academy in Brandon, MB. She was feisty and enjoyed picking ¿ghts with her brothers! Sister Rose was one of her teachers. Jeanette’s favorite saying was, “Oh well, no one will see it” but Sister Rose’s reply was, “Yes, but God will.” Those words would stick with Jeanette the rest of her life. She specialized in sewing and went on to work in the custom made drapery department for the Robert Simpson Company in Toronto, ON. After working for eight years, Jeanette returned home for a short visit before heading for Vancouver. It was at this time she realized the family needed extra help. Her brother Harold, who had both limbs amputated had to be driven to Winnipeg for prosthesis and she was elected to be his driver. In the summer of 1957, she drove her parents, Harold and an aunt to Vancouver to visit her brother Shirley and family. On the way home they visited relatives in Kamloops and Osoyoos. During the time she was home, she was lucky to meet Newton Whit¿eld. He enjoyed dancing as much as she did. By Christmas, Newton and Jeanette were engaged to be married. The wedding took place on July 12, 1958. In the spring of 1958, Newton purchased Irvine and Esther Truscott’s farm three miles north of Alameda on #9 highway. The couple operated a mixed farm and in 1966 joined the Canadian Charolais Association, registering their farm as “J.N. Charolais”. The sign brought many visitors to the door that would become lasting friends. In 1978 Newton and Jeanette Àew to France to visit “Charolais friends” and to learn more about the breed. They continued to raise and show Charolais cattle until October of 1986 when a dispersal sale took place. Jeanette enjoyed curling, going to bonspiels, cooking for family gatherings and gol¿ng. Many trips were taken and several cruises were enjoyed. In the spring of 1988 their lives changed forever. While driving to Yorkton, the couple hit black ice and rolled their vehicle. Newton had the seventh vertebrae in his neck dislocated. The next seventeen weeks were spent at Wascana Centre in Regina. With many hours of hard work and dedicated therapists, Jeanette was able to bring Newton home one day after their 30th anniversary. Due to cold temperatures and snow Newton and Jeanette left for Mesa, Arizona on December 4, 1988. Norma Hewitt, a friend from Carlyle, helped them ¿nd a home in Brentwood West. After renting for two years, they later purchased their own home that they enjoyed for eighteen years. Newton and Jeanette sold their farm in 1998 to Jack and Diane Truscott and moved into Prairie View Lodge in Alameda. On May 29, 2000 they took up residence at #10 Lions Pride Estates in Carlyle. They made the right decision and remained very happy with this home. In November 2013 due to ill health, Jeanette and Newton moved to Hillview Manor in Estevan. Jeanette is survived by her brother, Cecil Krieger; her much younger sister, Audrey Kellington; also numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Newton on November 28, 2014; parents, Fred & Flora (Hitchcock) Krieger; sister, Donalda; ¿ve brothers, Harold, Guerden, Shirley, George, and Howard; brother-inlaw, Keith; three sisters-in-law, Marjorie, Barbara, and Greta; nephew, Layne; niece Merlyne. A Funeral Service will be held at the Alameda United Church, Alameda, SK. on Monday, December 29, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. with Mrs. Sandy Dalziel of¿ciating. Burial will take place at the Alameda Cemetery at a later date. Donations in memory of Jeanette may be given to the Alameda United Church, Box 231, Alameda, SK. S0C 0A0. Arrangements in care of Redpath Funeral Home - Oxbow (4832401), Neil Redpath & Kurt Ardron. To send condolences to the family, please visit: www.redpathfuneralhome.com

Submitted by Edel Cowan The Alida community extends their deepest sympathies to Brenda Lemieux and family on the death of her father Alfred Bouchard (Fertile) on December 15, 2014. Condolences are also extended to all other family members. Funeral mass was held December 22 at Redvers Catholic Church. Michael and Joanne Patton and son Sabastian from Perth, Australia are spending much quality time visiting with his parents Leonard and Lil Patton and with his brother, Trevor, Sheri, Cordelia and Keagan Patton. They came to spend a white Christmas with the family. Wendy, Rob Lutzer and daughters Kayley and Reece of Calgary also came to spend Christmas with the Patton family. It was the Alida Annual Old Fashioned Christmas Concert at the Alida Hall on Friday, December 19 which again put one into the Christmas spirit. One could really enjoy these seasonal songs, the true meaning of Christmas with a pageant, as well as the moment of remembrance for those who would not be among us this year and of course Old St Nick found his way to Alida. May each and every one of you have a wonderful Holiday season – Merry Christmas One and All! Gray and Brenda Junk were in Sylvan Lake, AB from December 19 – 28 to spend Christmas with their family – Jody, Jill, Jaxon and Jace Junk and with Kara, Rob and Morgan Applegate. While there they also attended some of the grandson’s hockey games. Home for an early Christmas with their parents, Prudent and Joey Mailhiot and sisters Chelsey and Skylar were Daniel Mailhiot (UK), Tyler, Amy, Kylan and Tatym Mailhiot (Medicine Hat). Neil Blackburn (Belize) and Marlene Ross (Yorkton) were afternoon visitors with Gray and Edel Cowan on Saturday, December 20. Sincerest sympathy

is extended to Joey, Prudent Mailhiot and family on the death of her mother, Gerda Nelson on December 22, 2014 in Redvers. Condolences are also passed on to Arthur Nelson (husband) and to all other family members. Attending the private family memorial service from Alida on December 30 at the Hall Funeral Chapel in Redvers were – Joey, Prudent, Daniel, Tyler, Chelsey and Skylar Mailhiot, Edel Cowan, Tim, Shelly and Ainsley Cowan. Faye Walker spent a few days during the Christmas week in Saskatoon with her daughter Deidra, Jeff Nickel and granddaughters, Olivia, Abby, Claire and Piper before returning to her ‘winter’ home in Carnduff. Hal and Glenda Nielsen spent a few days in Alberta over the Christmas season at Spruceview with their daughter Jennifer, Monty Kenyon and grandsons Aiden and Eric. Tim, Shelly Cowan and daughter Ainsley spent December 24 in Minot to celebrate Christmas Eve with the Nilsen family. Also attending Christmas Eve with the Nilsen family were Kelsey Rydberg and friend (Estevan) and Lacie Nilsen and her friend (Calgary). Visiting with Jeanne Lemieux and Robin Wilcott on December 24 was their great niece Davida Delidais and her daughter Eva of Elnora, AB, as well as Jaye, Teresa Lemieux and their family. Spending Christmas Day at the Cowan farm with Gray and Edel were – Jeff Cowan and Melissa Berwald (Regina), Dustin and Adam Cowan (Estevan), Tim, Shelly and Ainsley Cowan (Alida). On Saturday, December 27 Joyce and Jackie George (Redvers) were supper guests with Gray and Edel Cowan and they exchanged Christmas gifts as well. Beth George accompanied them to Alida and spent time visiting and having supper with her brother, Ben and Marcelle

Peterson. Lacie Nilsen (Calgary) and Kelsey Rydberg (Estevan) spent a few days over the Christmas holidays visiting with their parents Shelly and Tim Cowan and with sister Ainsley. On December 29 they accompanied their mother Shelly and sister Ainsley out to the Cowan farm where they had a visit with grandparents Gray and Edel Cowan and exchanged Christmas gifts. Spending a few days over the Christmas season with Joyce, Dick and Bill McKinna were Ron McKinna of Winnipeg and David McKinna of Saskatoon. Afternoon visitors on December 31 with Joyce McKinna, Dick and Bill were Bev Lemieux of Oxbow and Mel Reid of Estevan. Spending a couple of days over New Years with Jeanne Lemieux and Robin Wilcott was their sister Aimee and her husband Edgar Manz of Regina. The Alida Rec Board held their Sunday breakfast of 2015 on Sunday, January 4 at the Alida Hall with Kitchen group # 1 in charge. Definitely will miss going to the rink for these weekly breakfasts, but due to the flood damage rink the breakfasts have moved over to the Hall. Despite the cold morning Group 1 served up 36 breakfasts, so the weekly challenge is officially on once again among the kitchen groups to beat this record. Hope to see you at the Hall every Sunday morning for these delicious breakfasts that the Kitchen groups will be serving for the next three months. Next breakfast is on Sunday, January 11 with Group # 2 in command – see you there. Spent this past week watching the Junior World Hockey games on the television – there was lots of excellent hockey being played and of course cheered hard for Canada. Happy new year everyone and all the best in 2015!

OBSERVER AGRICULTURE Days of providing for oneself going by the wayside By Calvin Daniels Strange things continue to inspire thoughts of farming for me. A couple of nights before the old year turned to the new I was watching Jeopardy. It’s a show I have to admit I love, and tape daily, which allows a quick fast forward through the advertisements and boring talks to contestants, turning the show into about 18-minutes a day of mind

exercise. I fail mightily on categories about American politics, opera and a host of others, but I manage to get a few answers daily, and I like the challenge of it. But back to the particular episode. There were a couple of questions where flowers were the response, the azalea on one occasion, and the other now forgotten. But I managed to pluck both answers from my mind ahead of the con-

testants, which I have to thank my paternal grandparents for. Both were avid gardeners, both to fill the larder, and for the aesthetics of beautiful flowers. I had not really thought the gardening gene had made it from their generation to mine, but at least some of the knowledge stuck it seems. And, while I am now greying around the temples, largely because most of my hair has long ago fled to greener pastures somewhere, I may be beginning to manifest some gardening interest. As an example I have long marvelled at bonsai trees, and am thinking that I may take the plunge to try growing one this year. I also have to say as I was contemplating a topic for this week’s column I was sitting with a coffee in hand looking out the window of the restaurant on a frosty, but bright morning, and my mind somehow settled on how in my youth my parents and grandparents would be anticipating gardening catalogues arriving as the new year arrived. The winter solstice might be the actual signal of lengthening days, and the calendar turning heralds a new year, but the gardening catalogues somehow made those days warmer and spring seem so much closer. Now as a suite resident there is no garden for me to tend, and I’m not sure I would if there was space. But I do know I could. I understand planting, weeding, watering, fertilizing, watching for insect issues, and harvesting. I might need a quick refresher, but the idea of blanching and freezing vegetables is not foreign

to me, nor the basics of canning, although no bean deserves the indignantly of being canned from what I recall of the texture of the darned things on the plate. But, I sit here knowing that while my son might be able to read a book and grasp the concepts of preserving food, he has not seen it at the elbow of parents as I did. There is a loss of the intergenerational transfer of the basic skills of feeding oneself. I truly wonder if you

dropped a dozen chickens at every home in a city like Regina today, how many people would know how to care for them, gather eggs, and butcher them for the table if needed? And it goes farther than food too. I profess I might succeed at sewing on a button, but it would be an ugly job. Darn a hole in a pair of socks? You might as well ask me to operate on a brain. Somehow we have allowed ourselves to have

Saskatchewan SPCA for their many years of work in enforcing The Animal Protection Act,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. “We wish them the best as they enter this new chapter focusing on education and prevention.” The Saskatchewan SPCA has been enforcing The Animal Protection Act, 1999 for 40 years. The current two-year contract expires on March 31, 2015. “Animal welfare is and always will be a priority for us,” Saskatchewan SPCA Board of Directors President Constance Roussel said. “However, after much discussion our board felt that we can better serve the animals and the public by focusing on education and prevention. We thank the ministry for working with us through this transition and look forward to continuing to work with them under our new focus.” The Ministry of Agriculture is exploring other options for delivery of investigative services. “The humane treatment and well-being of animals continues to be a priority for us,” Stewart said. “Our ministry will continue to work with all parties involved to ensure a smooth transition.”
