Racer Riley Raynard awarded Real Racer Award in Indianapolis By Lynne Bell Lampman’s Riley Raynard, 17, was awarded the prestigious Ken Schrader Real Racer Award from Speedway Illustrated magazine on Dec. 11 in Indianapolis, Indiana, during the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) 2014 show, which attracts members of the racing community from around the world. Raynard, who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, came out on top in a field of over 60 nominees, which was eventually narrowed to four finalists. According to Speedway Illustrated, “The Ken Schrader Real Racer Award annually recognizes those who represent the best in auto racing. It’s about racing and recognizes those who do more for the sport than get the most points.” “It’s for a driver who shows a lot of determination for the sport,” says Raynard. “People nominate you for this award and you don’t have to win races for it. It’s for whoever has the heart and determination for the sport.” “When they presented it, they started talking about the award and what you had to do for it,” says Raynard. “I guess I overcame a lot of obstacles and stuff.”

Dee Nails joins Manor’s Beaudacious Salon By Lynne Bell Dolores Young’s Dee Nails is now offering a complete menu of nail services for both women and men at Manor’s Beaudacious Salon Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. “I am absolutely thrilled to have Dolores join our Beaudacious team,” says owner Jennie Beaudet. “It’s nice to be able to offer extra services to our clients. Manor is an amazing town for supporting our local business and has already shown much excitement with Dolores’s arrival.” “I’ve been doing nails on and off for 30 years,” says Young, “I first started in Alberta, when the technician who did my nails moved away. I started doing them myself and since then, I’ve done nails on and off, including at a salon in Calgary where I was responsible for doing the nails of all of the girls in the Miss Calgary pageant.” Young currently lives at White Bear Lake Resort, but she has also lived in London, England and Panama, and says that wherever she has lived, nail trends are all about individuality.

“There is always something new,” she says. “So in that sense, nail trends are always changing. But it’s really about the client’s individuality and personal style, what they like.” “It can be a plain, elegant French manicure or blinging right out, or anything in-between,” she adds. “And whatever they want to do, I’m happy to do it for them.” “I can do shellac and coloured nails, gel nail extensions, and I’ve ordered 3-D decorations for nails and I’ll also do nail charms on request.” “I recently did some pointed nails, which I hadn’t done before. The person I did them for was very happy with them, and so was I. I’m willing to try anything.” “Nail trends are constantly evolving,” says Young, who most recently took classes on new techniques in Regina. “I’m willing to try anything a client might like. If I don’t know how to do it, with their agreement, I’ll certainly try it.” “I’m currently taking classes in nail art and I’m constantly upgrading my skills.”

Young offers manicures and pedicures for both women and men and can arrange couple’s treatements side-by-side in the salon. “With all of the emphasis on nail art, it’s also important to remember that a manicure or a pedicure isn’t just about painting nails,” she says. “Men can benefit from these treatments as much as women, especially when it comes to a pedicure.” “Feet feel better with calluses taken care of, especially in winter, when so many people are working outside in the cold weather.” “Most guys don’t want polish, so I buff the nails. It’s all part of foot health. It improves circulation and it feels good to soak your feet in warm water. I’ve given mani-pedis to guys before and they say it feels great.” For those unable or unwilling to have treatments in a salon setting, Young also does in-home visits. “I’ll travel to people’s homes in Arcola, Carlyle, and of course, Manor,” says Young. “If someone has mobility issues or just likes to have treatments done in the privacy of their home, I’ll bring everything with me. All the client needs to

From page 1 - Riley Raynard “It was really exciting to be there and I was shocked when I got the trophy,” he adds. “Before they announced it, my heart was beating really fast. I’m kind of relieved and happy that I did win it.” Raynard made the

journey to Indianapolis with his parents, Devin and Wendy, his grandparents, other family members, and “My buddy that always helps me”, fellow racer, Leevi Runge, also of Lampman. “I was just thinking how thankful I was to everyone who nominated

me and everyone who helped me. I just want to thank everyone who supported me and stuff.” This year,Raynard has completed his third year in competition. “I won my first three features racing in Estevan and I was Motor Magic Champion at Nodak Speedway in Minot. My last win of the season was at Big Eagle’s in Manor.” Raynard didn’t rest on his laurels after the award ceremony. Instead, he returned to the PRI convention floor to continue visiting some of the nearly 1,000 exhibitor booths. “I’ve actually met a couple of NASCAR people and I’ve talked to another guy about hand controls,” he says. “This award makes me want to push more, to win more.”

Dairy Queen and The Bargain Shop team up to create Christmas cheer for kids By Lynne Bell Two Carlyle businesses have teamed up to create Christmas cheer for area kids- from infancy to age 16. The Dairy Queen and The Bargain Shop have combined forces this year to gather gifts for kids, and each year, the local Angel Tree program makes a concerted effort to reach as many area children and teens in need as possible, even beyond the Christmas season. Dairy Queen owner Donna Mryglod says the program originated through DQ’s head office. When it ceased to be a national program, Mryglod, her husband Garth, and their daughters, Alica and Robin, “carried on.” “We kept on doing it in the Carlyle store,” says Mryglod. “ We’ve been doing it since 1995. We liked the community approach and so did our customers. It works out well.” “In the past, most of the toys we gathered went to the Salvation Army. Now, we look at different entities in the area and district to see where we can do the most good. One year, some of the gifts went to Transition House in Regina, because our daughter was in university and did some work there. Families in this area that have gone to Transition House, too.” “This year, we’re talking to Envision (Counselling). That’s one of the entities we’re talking to. We want to help kids within

Bake, Raise and Run: Arcola’s Cathy Burton is top fundraiser in Salvation Army Santa Shuffle By Lynne Bell Cathy Burton of Arcola has combined her love of baking with her love of running to help people in need this Christmas-much of it one cupcake at a time. Since October, Burton has baked, decorated and sold 641 cupcakes and secured sponsors to singlehandedly raise $1,008 for her participation in the 14th annual Salvation Army Santa Shuffle fivekilometre run and onekilometre elf walk held in Regina on Dec. 6. Major Doug Binner of the Salvation Army in Regina told The Observer that Burton was “Our top contributor. When she said she raised $1,008, I was absolutely thrilled. Not only because she’d done

it, but also because of how long she’d been working on this. We’re indebted to all of our volunteers and I am especially grateful that Cathy took the time to think of others and to help others.” Burton says,“Starting in October, I did themed cupcakes and sold them at (Arcola) school and through Facebook. A lot of people would request a dozen for work, and the kids at school would line up with their loonies. I had one little girl in grade two who made me a picture and a little note that said, ‘I love your cupcakes.’ It’s the little things like that that made it worthwhile to me.” An avid marathon runner and baker, Burton says she first combined

these interests to benefit the Salvation Army two years ago. “Lucille Weber and I first did the Santa Shuffle two years ago. This year, I knew Lucille couldn’t run, so I did it myself this year. I missed last year, so I was really ready to continue this year. I just think the Salvation Army is such an important organization. They do so much to help so many people in need.” As an educational assistant at Arcola School, Burton is especially enthusiastic about where the Salvation Army will use the proceeds from this year’s Santa Shuffle, as this year, the organization aims to raise $10,000 to help with upgrades to the Haven of Hope Community Ministries kitchen, so it can better serve its school

Cathy Burton of Arcola raised $1,008 for the Salvation Army this year, much of it one cupcake at a time. Burton baked, decorated and sold themed cupcakes for $1 each from October through December. “I baked Halloweenthemed cupcakes, Remembrance Day cupcakes, Movember cupcakes and Christmas cupcakes,” she says.

Arcola’s Cathy Burton crosses the finish line at this year’s Salvation Army Santa Shuffle Dec. 6 in Regina. Although many of the races Burton runs raise money for good causes, she says the Santa Shuffle is special. “I just think the Salvation Army is such an important organization,” she says. “They do so much to help so many people in need.” feeding program. “Last year, we gave out over 29,000 healthy school lunches. And with some kitchen renovations, we’re going to be able to do that more efficiently and more effectively,” says Major Doug Binner of the Salvation Army. “We haven’t got our final accounting yet, but this year

we made $6,200 from the run. With T-shirt sales and corporate contributions, I am confident that we’ve surpassed our $10,000 goal.” This total makes Burton’s contribution even more impressive, as she raised one-tenth of the goal on her own, but she remains

matter-of-fact and modest about her contribution. “I do a lot of runs,” says Burton. “And most of them are fundraisers for a cause. I do lots of creative stuff and I love running. If I can combine those two things to help someone who needs it, I’m happy to do it.”

Cathy Burton raised $1,008 for the Salvation Army this year, much of it one cupcake at a time. The Arcola resident baked and sold 641 themed cupcakes from October until December, selling many of her creations at Arcola School. Appropriately, the money Burton raised will benefit Regina’s Haven of Hope Community Ministries kitchen, which supplies school lunches to children in need.

From page 2 – Angel tree “We set a high goal of $1,000 and we exceeded it. We collected well over $1,000 worth of toys and we bought toys with any cash donations we received.” “It really warmed my heart that we could do something to help someone who is struggling and that our customers are so willing to help someone who may be a complete stranger to them, or someone they may not even know is struggling.” “If we haven’t been in that situation ourselves, we may know someone who hasn’t been as lucky as we are.” Although The Bargain Shop is finished collecting toys for this year, Mryglod says the Carlyle Dairy Queen will accept donations of unwrapped gifts for boys and girls from infants to age 16, “right up until we close the doors Christmas Eve.” “Once again, I’d like to thank everyone for their great support,” says Mryglod. “We have The Bargain Shop on board this year. Churches do White Gift Sunday and drop things off here. I’m always pretty amazed at the community support people give.” “With these gifts, we recognize that not all of us have happy moments in our lives at Christmas. Mom or Dad may have lost their job, there have been house fires...There are all kinds of circumstances where a family might need help. These toys have even been used for birthday gifts.” “It’s about making a child happy in a visible way.”

OBSERVER OPINION Mistletoe or missing toe? By Shelley Luedtke “The lefse song, mommy, the lefse song,” implored my then 3-year old as we were deciding which CD to play while we tackled some holiday baking. I had no idea what she was referring to since we didn’t have any songs about lefse on any of our CDs so I chose a disc at random and pushed play. I got the girls set up with their ingredients and we began chopping and stirring and several minutes into the task my youngest daughter’s eyes lit up as she exclaimed, “The lefse song, the lefse song!” I paused to listen to her sing along and smiled as Celine Dion’s “God bless us, everyone” had now become, “God, lefse, everyone.” Clearly we had spent way too much time talking about a particular Norwegian tradition. Getting seasonal song lyrics wrong is quite common. They are mondegreens--the mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase in a way that gives it a new meaning. They occur most often in poems or songs when the listener is unable to clearly hear a lyric and substitutes words that sound similar. Consider these ones submitted to a radio station by people who couldn’t believe how incorrectly their family or friends were singing: “See the grazing mule before us”; “Ho ho the missing toe”; “Deck the halls with Buddy Holly”; “Frosty the snowman is a ferret elf they say”; “Oh what fun it is to ride with one horse, soap and hay” and the person who didn’t quite get the idea they were supposed to be singing in Spanish and instead sang, “Fleas on the dog.” Those may be the ones we got wrong. But what about the ones we get right. The problem there isn’t in interpretation—the problem is with expectation. Consider the sentiments expressed in songs we are hearing over and over this time of year: “If you want to be happy in a million ways, for the holidays you can’t beat home sweet home”; “Please come home for Christmas”; or “Won’t be the same if you’re not here with me.” The ideas of home and Christmas have become so intertwined it would seem to suggest that if you can’t be home the season just won’t measure up. In 1943 the song “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” poignantly expressed the feelings of those who were separated from loved ones by war and had to spend Christmas away from home. Josh Groban’s version in 2007 became notable for helping comfort those fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. There have been a lot of songs written that express more painful sentiments around the holidays but the work of these musicians aren’t the ones we hear as we stroll the malls. These songs tackle the loneliness, heart break, poverty, and isolation that exist all year long but seem particularly painful when so much focus is on home, hearth and the picture of happiness. Trying to deal with the realities of brokenness when all around are expectations of perfection, can cause an individual or a family to fear that, yet again, what they can offer is unworthy. But let’s think for a moment about the central players in the actual event more than 2000 years ago. Mary and Joseph weren’t gathered around the hearth or putting finishing touches to a nursery. They were away from home; separated from family; taking shelter in the only place available to them—a place intended for animals. Yet in the intervening years we have aggrandized our notions of celebration to such an extent we think there needs to be containers full of baking in the freezer, an abundance of gifts under the tree, ornate decorations decking the halls, and luxurious linens on the guest beds. Such opulence is a far cry from the humbleness of that first Christmas, and contemporary sets of expectations can distract us from where our focus ought to be. If the notions of home and Christmas blend in special ways it is indeed something to recognize as a blessing because think, for just a moment, of all those who can’t say the same. As we look forward to home, hearth and happiness, let’s remember that because of the miracle of Christmas this can also be a season of hope, healing and humility. Joy to the world! The Lord is come. And that’s no misinterpretation. That’s my outlook.

Excited for coaching club volleyball By Kelly Running

ountless times I sit at my computer saying, “I will not write about volleyball.” I repeat it over and over as I read through the news. Countless times something on CBC, BBC, or Al Jazeera catches my eye and I try to form an opinion to write down; but, as I write my mind wanders back to volleyball. A couple of weeks ago we held our tryouts for the Southeast Vipers. We decided to do two teams this year, a 15U and an 18U. Last year we were rather encouraged with our 17U team and the dedication of a younger sister who we let practice. It just went to show how much love and interest there is in the sport in the area. Tryouts the other day saw 28 kids come out for the 15U team and 19 for the 18U team. Additionally there were youth who fell into one category or the other who had said they wanted to come, but never did, so there was a chance of us having up to 35 young players for the 15U and at least 25 for the 18U. I guess we got a little lucky those few weren’t able to come because the decision was difficult enough in choosing

teams. In the end the 15U group is made up of kids from Bellegarde to Lampman to Wawota and I’m really quite excited for the season to start. We’re in fact now planning on hosting a home tournament for these girls and on the one hand I’m extremely disappointed that I registered for my theory portion of my level one coaching because it’s the same weekend. Although on the other hand it means I’ll finally be finished with my level one and have more information and knowledge to share with the players. The 15U team looks like they will be amazing though. They already come with a lot of skill and from the few practices that we’ve held, they’re all coachable and want to learn. In fact one of the assistant coaches of the 18U team wasn’t going to help with the 15U, but stuck around for one practice, he was just going to run them through a warm-up, and decided that he was in to help for the season. It’s going to be a lot of fun to watch them grow as a team and get better. They have a huge learning curve and have already

shot up the scale. The 18U is going to be extremely competitive too. We have a team made up of mostly returning players, but picked up a few new players as well. We’ve even got a couple of girls travelling from as far as Montmartre and Whitewood who are going to add to the cause. Each one, on both the 15U and 18U, seem like they have a lot of skills; but, on top of that the kids seem like hardworking and honest individuals. In fact I was interviewing someone the other day for something and I mentioned I was one of the coaches with the Vipers as she knew one of the girls. My interview then explained that we were going to love the one kid because she is a great person and is of quality character. This made me even more excited to be coaching them because sport in my opinion is about more than just playing the game. Playing with honesty, integrity, and respect is extremely important and to already have kids with these values will only elevate these teams in their conduct on the court.

OBSERVER LIFESTYLES Pause for By Ken Rolheiser www.kenrolheiser.com Reflection Advent and Christmas thoughts - we still have time Why is it hard to buy an Advent Calendar? Because their days are numbered. God gave us Advent in our lives because we need time to get it right – time to prepare for that meeting with our Lord and Savior. As children we strove to be good so that we would be ready for Jesus’ coming. As adults we prepare for another coming. Most days we have to admit we still struggle for perfection. We imagine God is watching and keeping track. Actually God has other plans. He sent Jesus to explain, but we just don’t seem to get the message. I am reminded of the words of a mother shared on internet: My proudest moment came during the children’s Christmas pageant. My daughter was playing Mary, two of my sons were shepherds and my youngest son was a wise man. A wrestling match broke out between Mary and the shepherd and was stopped by an angel, who bent her halo and lost her left wing.

I slouched a little lower in my seat when Mary dropped the doll representing Baby Jesus, and it bounced down the aisle crying, “Mama-mama.” My other son stepped forward wearing a bathrobe and a paper crown, knelt at the manger and announced, “We are the three wise men, and we are bringing gifts of gold, common sense and fur.” The congregation dissolved into laughter, and the pageant got a standing ovation… “My children are my pride and my joy and my greatest blessing,” I said as I dug through my purse for an aspirin. I imagine God has a sense of humor. He likely doesn’t have to reach for an aspirin, but God is proud of our least efforts in bringing about the Kingdom. God does not reward success, but he does reward effort. This Christmas, let us have a deeper understanding of how the incarnation changes us. When the Word became flesh, a human Mary gave great dignity to the human race by becoming the Mother of God, by housing the eternal power within a

human body. You and I have a great dignity by being the temples of the Holy Spirit through Baptism and by receiving Christ within us. Be it in the Word or the Eucharist, Jesus wants to enter our hearts and make our living bodies the place where God can dwell. This Christmas, let’s pray for peace on earth and blessings on those we love. I have learned never to ask God for anything unless I mean it. As a minister said, “If you pray for rain, make sure you carry an umbrella.” To share just one example: several years back when my oldest son was still single I started a Christmas wish by praying for God to bless him. It took God a couple of years to answer my prayer, but my son was blessed with a wife who is an answer to prayer in so many ways, as are our two grandchildren. God’s blessings on our children and families is only one area to be thankful for. This Christmas may we be aware of our prayerful needs and the abundant blessings we enjoy in time and in God’s plan.

Wrapping the perfect gift By Linda Wegner There, the shopping’s done and now I can relax. Right? Well, not quite. Although having completed the purchase of those gifts is a major accomplishment, the task isn’t quite finished until each present is wrapped and addressed in an appropriate manner. I say “appropriate” simply because there are several questions to be considered in this closeto-final step: who is the recipient, who is the designated giver of the gift and what resources are available? The recipient of any gift figures prominently into the choice of wrapping material. For example, funky newspaper or

newspaper-style packaging might tickle the fancy of an artsy kind of person. The mother-in-law may be less impressed. Or, what little boy wouldn’t be delighted with a gift bag or wrapping paper festooned with pictures of trucks or John Deere tractors? A second factor to be taken into consideration is the giver of the gift. While an adult might invest time, thought and extra money into ensuring it is beautifully wrapped, a child’s offering may resemble a “patch-onone’s-knee” effort. The wrapping on gifts given by businesses are typically simple and professional; those from and to special friends or lovers can be

almost opulent. There is a lot to think about in this traditional practice of exchanging gifts and most important is the reality that “a thing” is just part of what we offer someone else. Be it love, support, friendship or, sadly sometimes tainted feelings, we share ourselves. Beyond the borders of December, who we really are is always wrapped in imperfection. No matter how shiny the exterior may appear to others, each of us needs to be loved and accepted for who we are. Finally, let’s not forget we have been given and we are to be givers of earth’s greatest need and heaven’s greatest resource -God’s love. “Beloved, let us love”

Dear Ellen

Dear Ellen, My friend has been dating a man for the last 6 months. He calls her constantly wanting to know what she has been doing and whom she talks to. He constantly accuses her of cheating and lying to him. He has threatened her on at least one occasion and constantly makes her break down and cry. I am worried about her and wondering what I can do to help her. Concerned Dear Concerned, You are a wonderful friend to care enough to ask. What you can do is be supportive. Listen to her talk, but don’t pressure her to do so. Encourage her to meet with a professional counselor. Talk to one yourself. Remember, the better informed you are, the better you’ll be able to help your friend. Helping a friend who is in an abusive relationship can be stressful and dangerous. Take care of your own physical and emotional needs. Never confront her boyfriend, as that will probably make things worse. Now, here’s the hard part. Remember the choices in her relationships are hers. Let her know you’ll stand by her whatever she decides to do. Don’t give up on her - she may need some time to really look and consider making changes. Give her time and be there for her. You have already taken the 1st step by writing. A counselor can give you more information about helping your friend. Ellen ***** For more information about the services we offer, please call the Envision Counselling and Support Centre in Weyburn at 842-8821 or Estevan 6374004 or call our Abuse/Sexual Assault Line at 1-800-214-7083.

Parenting Tips from Regional KidsFirst – Your baby’s holiday with family & friends Involve others!! It’s a good thing for your baby to know there are others she can count on! The holiday season usually includes visits with relatives and friends. These special times will help your baby to develop loving relationships with a small group of people. These relationships will last a lifetime! Comfort Give family members and friends the chance to comfort and sing to your baby. This will help him to become familiar with their voices and feel safe.

Invite family members and friends to play a game of peek-a-boo. Your baby will feel comforted that people he cares about are still there even when he can’t see them. Encourage your baby to learn how to use gestures to give comfort to others. Blowing kisses and waving “bye-bye” make others feel good! Play Give your baby chances to be around other babies and children. He will start to interact with them and want to learn more about them. He may

even make noises and try to get their attention! Teach Give your baby the opportunity to listen to familiar voices on the phone. She will begin to realize that people exist even when she can’t see them. Have family members talk to your baby on the phone. Show her how to listen and practice saying, “hi” and “bye-bye”. Go slowly with your baby. Don’t force her to go to someone she doesn’t know or isn’t sure of. In time, your baby will build loving relationships with others.

THIS WEEK - Evan Anderson makes MMA debut at Hard Knocks Have a sports story or score? Call the Observer at (306) 453-2525

The road to pro: Evan Anderson fights first MMA amateur match in Calgary By Lynne Bell Evan Anderson’s first amateur Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fight may have ended in favour of his opponent, but the Carlyle resident knows that this fight is still the first step on the road to a professional career. In an interview with The Observer en route to his first amateur Hard Knocks Fighting contest, Dec. 13 at Calgary’s Century Casino, 22-yearold Anderson said, “I would just like to fight as many fights as I can and turn professional as soon as possible.” Anderson’s first match-against John Nyguyen of Calgary ended in a secondround knockout, but prior to the match between the 145-pound fighters, Anderson was philosophical about the match, and eager to step into the ring. “As for the fight, as an amateur, you don’t know your opponent, so you just implement your game plan and do what you’re best at.” Anderson, a welder, trains at Regina’s Queen City Martial Arts every weekend. The 145-pound

fighter describes mixed martial arts to the uninitiated as “a smart streetfight.” “It’s definitely not what a lot of people think. It’s like a controlled rage. A good way to explain it is like being in the zone, but you definitely have the mindset that you’re going to win. You’re not going in to lose.” “In amateur (MMA), there’s no knee or elbow to the head allowed,” adds Anderson. “But it’s like a street fight.” Mixed Martial Arts is a full-contact sport that allows the use of both striking and grappling techniques, both standing and on the ground, from a variety of other contact sports and martial arts. MMA competitors come from a number of backgrounds, including: judo, Brazilian jujitsu, boxing, karate, Muay Thai, and others. Fighters usually begin with a base art and then learn other martial arts to round out their skills. Anderson says he first learned Brazilian jujitsu and Muay Thai. “I began when I was 13,” he says. “Scott Nicholson taught me. “I’ve pretty much been preparing

Sports Wrap-up with Bruce Penton – Rory had cold feet and a hot hand • Comedy writer Alan Ray, on actor Mickey Rourke’s built-in advantage as a 62-year-old boxer: “Hitting him in the chest is considered below the belt.” • Cameron Morfit of golf.com, on Tiger Woods chunking four chip shots in the first round of the Hero Challenge, his first competitive round since August: “Watching Woods mangle all these chip shots was like watching Bobby Flay burn all the grilled cheese sandwiches.” • Comedy writer Tim Hunter, after Dale Scott became the first baseball umpire to announce he’s gay: “The replay showed he is definitely out.” • Brad Dickson of the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald, on Johnny Manziel claiming that Tiger Woods once snubbed his autograph request when Johnny Football was a kid: “ Well, it’s about time that Tiger got some positive PR.” • Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “The A’s have signed an ambidextrous pitcher, Pat Venditte. Does that mean he can relieve himself on the mound?” • Dickson again: “The NFL recently fined Rex Ryan $100K for cursing. This sounds like an ingenious plan to fund Obamacare.” • Another one from Dickson: “Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Justin Bieber were spotted sparring at a gym in Los Angeles. As much as I’d like to see a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, I’d pay more to see Mayweather KO Bieber.” • RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “A neutral arbitrator has overturned Ray Rice’s indefinite suspension by Roger Goodell. Being in the NFL is like being married; you rarely get to finish a sentence.” • Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “Rumours have it that Tim Tebow is now ‘dating’ one of the Duggars (19 Kids and Counting) daughters.

Moose Mountain Lodge update Although only eleven men and women were available to meet at Moose Mountain Lodge, Tuesday, November 25th, 2014 to explore the possibility of forming a group with the intention of enhancing the lives of the residents and supporting the staff who care for those same residents, an equal number had contacted Bertha Isleifson to indicate their willingness to either assist directly or with fundraising where needed. We began with an informal discussion around

alternatives regarding organization of a group and possible activities, equipment and efficiencies that would benefit the residents. The consensus was that our aims, though still in the early stages of development, might not necessarily fit into the conventional idea of a formal auxiliary A motion was made, seconded and carried to establish a group called ‘Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge’ with an executive to see that this group goes forward.

It’s mid-December, which means only two things: It’s almost time to start Christmas shopping, and to review the year in sports, picking the most compelling, the most spectacular and the most newsworthy. What follows is a potpourri of categories — minus hockey, which gets more than its share of coverage in this space throughout the year — with each winner receiving the coveted Penton Pinnacle Prize — a cup overflowing with overused verbs, misplaced modifiers, dangling participles and commaspliced sentences. Golf god — Rory McIlroy decided a walk down the fairway alone was better than a walk down the aisle with tennis star Caroline Wozniacki and as soon as that wedding was called off, he started to dominate the world of golf — winning two majors and leaving no doubt as to who was No. 1 in the world. Golf goddess — In my book, two teens — Lydia Ko of New Zealand, who won the season-ending Race to the CME Globe LPGA title and, at 17, is ranked No. 3 in the world; and Canada’s Brooke Henderson, ranked No. 1 among the world’s amateurs and, at age 15, already a top-10 finisher in a major (2014’s U.S. Open), among a variety of other overachievements. Baseball’s best — Regular season, Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers, who pitched a no-hitter en

route to a 21-3, 1.77 ERA season. Playoffs: Kershaw imploded and Madison Bumgarner of the Giants became the ‘it’ player as San Francisco won the World Series. Tennis titleists —Canadians Eugenie Bouchard and Milos Raonic became household names around the world, but fell just short in the Grand Slams. Next year? Gonna happen. Football favourites: The CFL welcomed Ottawa Redblacks into the league, but the biggest stories came out of the west — Calgary won the Grey Cup, Stamps running back Jon Cornish had another outstanding season and B.C.’s Solomon Elimimian became the first defensive player to win the league’s Most Outstanding Player award. In the NFL, the overriding story and the winner of ‘newsmaker of the year’ award was Ray Rice, formerly of Baltimore Ravens, who was in the news almost all year for his elevator punch that KO’d his fiancé (later his wife) and sparked a narrative about sexual abuse in sports that still hasn’t faded. Curling champs — Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg and Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie won gold medals at Sochi, but there’s no doubt that Mike McEwen of Winnipeg is skip of the best men’s curling team in the world today. Can he finally win Manitoba and get to the Brier? Shocker of the year: A year-end sports wrap without the words Tig … • Josh Sens of Golf Magazine, recalling the time when chatterbox golfer Lee Trevino was told by his playing partner, Sam Torrance, ‘I don’t feel like talking today, Lee.’ And Trevino replied. ‘That’s okay. I don’t need you to talk. I just need you to listen’ “ • Headline at SportsPickle.com: “Coughlin admits concern that Giants will put him in a home.”

Arcola School’s SMACK Club seconds its support of Carlyle and District Food Bank By Lynne Bell Arcola School’s SMACK (Students Making A Change with Kindness) Club is once again supporting the Carlyle and District Food Bank with a food drive at the school, making it a Christmas tradition. At press time, the school collected a total of 932 pounds of food, with the grade one and two classes collecting 108 pounds each and the grade 11/12 split class collecting the top total of 137 pounds of food. “People definitely need the food bank all year round,” says SMACK member and grade 12 student, Jordan Johnston. “Christmas is a time when people get together with their families over a special meal. We want to help people who maybe can’t afford to buy food and who might go without. We’d like to help everyone have the food they need, especially at Christmas.” Johnston says the school’s student body enthusiastically embraced SMACK’s first food drive in 2013. “Last Christmas, we raised 1,100 pounds of food for the food bank,” she says. We’re on our way to that this year. There’s a competition between classes, and everyone really gets into it.” “The final day of the competition was a real surprise last year. No one wants to give away how much is collected, so the last three days are when the most food is brought in.” Teacher Whitney Paul agrees. “There’s a competition and the prize is a pizza party. But I think the students aren’t motivated by that as much as there is a better awareness about the food bank with them. We have a school breakfast program; they are aware of that. And with SMACK, I notice that the students are a lot more aware. It begins with volunteering in our community and in other communities. We talk about things like the food bank.” “SMACK has made the students much more conscious and much nicer to each other.” “We started SMACK last year,” says Johnston. “A couple of friends and myself felt a need for youth to get out into the community, helping people in our own community. Just to help people out of the goodness of our hearts, not for any special reason.” “We’ve helped at town rummage sales this year and last year,” she says. “It’s run by some older ladies in our community. Last year at Christmas, we went to the nursing home in Carlyle and decorated cookies with the residents there. They loved it, and we were invited to come back this year, so we’re going to go back in January. And last year was our first year and we supported the food bank.” SMACK is open to students from grades seven to 12 and Johnston says the time commitment is flexible. “We have a core group of members,” says Johnston. “We meet and discuss ideas, pick an event, announce it at school and people can sign up on the bulletin board.” “Students can sign up anytime, for a single project at a time, or more. Any time they can give is appreciated.” “Time is precious,” adds Paul. “By giving of themselves, the students are a lot more aware when they are volunteering in our community and other places.”

OBSERVER AGRICULTURE Farm fresh eggs available

Financial issues of Broadacre Agriculture By Calvin Daniels With the recent financial issues of Broadacre Agriculture, discussed in this space a couple of weeks ago the issue of who owns land in Saskatchewan is back on the front burner for a time. Broadacre Agriculture is a farming corporation, one which is a model for what many see as the future of farming, even with this particular entities woes. Broadacre was incorporated in 2010 as a company with a mandate to purchase large tracts of land and exploit the aforementioned economies of scale. The goal was to farm more than 200,000 acres, but had amassed only 9,000 acres of owned and 56,000 acres of leased land in Saskatchewan, when it filed for protection under the weight of some $14 million in debt. While some will point to Broadacre’s need to seek protection from its creditors as a last ditch effort to right its flagging financial situation as a failure of large farms, that is putting too much on the experience of a single entity. Dozens of manufacturers in North America started out making cars. There was a feeling they would fail as no mechanical creation no matter how marvelous would usurp the horse. Most of the early car creators failed, but others grew ever, and ever larger, the biggest remaining today. The same happened in tractors and even snowmo-

biles. I can recall in my teen years there were literally dozens of snowmobile manufacturers, but only four remain, all large in scale by comparison. Farmland is different in that it requires very handson management, especially in the compressed time periods of spring planting and fall harvest. A single farm entity struggles with that as it grows ever larger. But land ownership does not require owner operation. Canadian banks have in essence co-owned thousands of acres of land across this country over the years as they put up the money to purchase the land, creating a partnership of sorts with the farmer. The next logical step is for investors to buy up land, in turn leasing it to one, or more farm operators to actually mange the day-to-day farm operations. The farmer takes on the production risks; the land holding company builds a return it is satisfied with in the lease price. We are already seeing such processes in place, including pension funds, and similar money pools, taking on land as investment as opposed to the more traditional stock portfolios we have seen in the past. Certainly smaller ‘family’ farm units remain the primary landowners in Saskatchewan, and across Canada, but there is a trend to non-operator land ownership which is likely to continue as land purchase requires major capital which can often be found in investor pockets more easily than a traditional farmer’s.

Anthrax case confirmed in R.M. of Hazel Dell Saskatchewan Agriculture is reminding producers to be aware of the risk of anthrax after confirmation of a positive case in a cow in the Rural Municipality of Hazel Dell No. 335, on December 5. Anthrax is the suspected cause of death in two other cattle from the same herd. The suspected source of anthrax is believed to be soil-contaminated slough hay. As feed is the source, there is not a widespread geographical risk. However, producers are reminded to be vigilant. Anthrax is caused by the bacteria Ba-

cillus anthracis, which can survive in spore form for decades in soil. Livestock are affected when they eat forage contaminated with the spores. Affected animals are usually found dead without any signs of the

illness. Anthrax can be prevented by vaccination. Producers in regions that have experienced previous outbreaks are strongly encouraged to vaccinate their animals each year.

Anyone who suspects anthrax should contact their local veterinarian. All positive test results are required to be reported to the provincial Chief Veterinary Officer.

Casino Royale or Prairie Place Hall: 007 themed New Year’s Eve Bash being held in Arcola

Carlyle, SK (306) 453-2425 Open Mon. - Sat. 8a.m. - 8p.m. 90 second express lunch guarantee! (call for details) facebook.com/MichaelsCoffeeShopandBakery

By Kelly Running Limitless Events Inc., a group of six women interested in raising money and hosting events for people in the area to enjoy are at it again with planning a New Year’s Eve Bash in Arcola at Prairie Place. After a successful event last year in Arcola they are again hosting the New Year’s event this year and the theme is 007.

“It’s a black tie kind of night, you dress for the theme, so James Bond, 007,” Jennifer Deimuth, one of the organizers, said. They have not only a full night of entertainment planned, but have dinner and a midnight luncheon prepared as well, with champagne served for midnight. “We have tons of entertainment and raffle priz-

es throughout the night,” Deimuth explained saying the Danceland DJ Company based out of Regina will provide music later in the evening, while comedian, Laurie Ferguson Ford, will be doing a stand-up comedic act after supper. The organizers also found a talented local, Andrew Williams, who they came across playing in the area one night. He will pro-

vide live music during the meal. “We also have Elite Bartending from Saskatoon, originally they had said they couldn’t make it, but have since had the night open up so are a last minute addition.” Deimuth said. “They’ll be good. They’re flair bartenders, so they’re the ones that juggle bottles, entertaining as they pour a drink.” Keeping with the 007 theme there will also be a $30, register at the event, speed poker tournament between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. Two tables of eight will be open and dealers have been hired to help the activity run smoothly. Raffles will also be happening throughout the evening with two large prizes of a three-day-trip to Las Vegas and a Pick-aTrip to one of 12 locations available. The Mini-Mystery Box grab is another fun raffle, which the organizers are excited about. “It’s $5 a box, and you basically buy a chance to win a prize, some of the boxes have stuff and other ones don’t,” Deimuth explained. “The grand prize in the Mini-Mystery Box Grab is worth $950.” Businesses and community members have been helpful and many have been buying tables or tickets to use as Christmas gifts for employees or for hosting a late office Christmas party. “A lot of companies do a lot of Christmas shopping for employees at this time, so tickets to a New Year’s Eve party is something they can give,” Deimuth said. “It’s $60 per ticket or $440 for a table of eight and tickets are available at The Pearl in Carlyle, and Chapman’s and the Chaparral in Arcola, or through contacting Tara Cure or Tammy Workman. Though focused on providing a fun outing for people, Limitless Events Inc. is also dedicated to fundraising for non-profit groups in the area. On Jan. 6, they will be holding a fundraising meeting, and ask for any groups interested in applying to mail an application stating their organizations’ name, what they will be doing with the money, and how much they are looking for. “We try to disperse money to a few different groups, so not just one organization is benefitting in the community,” Deimuth said. Applications can be sent to Tammy Workman at Box 157, Arcola, SK, S0C 0G0.

By Kelly Running Canadian Blood Services will be holding a blood donor clinic in Kipling on Dec. 29. This holiday season Canadians are being encouraged to “wrap the holidays in red this year.” Honourable Rona Ambrose, Minister of Health, and Canadian Blood Services have come together to promote giving blood this holiday season or by registering to become an organ and tissue donor. The Wrap it up Red campaign reads that they “aim to boost blood donations and appointments, and promote organ and tissue donation during the holidays and into the New Year – typically a challenging time for blood collections.”

The campaign is running from Dec. 3 to Jan. 3. “Collecting blood during the holiday season is a challenge as many donors go away or are busy with family activities,” a press release reads. “To help keep up with hospital demand between December 24 and January 3, blood donors are needed at the Kipling Blood Donor Clinic which takes place December 29th at Kipling School from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.” Last year a nationwide social media campaign, #GiftOfLife was used to encourage people to sign up for organ and tissue donations in Canada. This year the campaign is focused on #WrapItUpRed. Ultimately “making

w w w.downtowndentalcentre.com Dr. Dennis Dodds Dr. Manasa Chandramohan

a blood donation helps ensure an adequate supply for hospitals to provide to their patients,” a press release stated. Anyone interested in donating at the blood drive in Kipling is asked to book an appointment prior as it eliminates wait times at the clinic. For those interested in donating blood, you can download the Canadian Blood Services GiveBlood App, book an appointment online at blood.ca or call 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888236-6283). “Along with my colleagues, I would like to encourage all Canadians to roll up their sleeves and start one of the easiest, but most important traditions this holiday season - giving blood,” The Honourable Rona Ambrose, Minister of Health. “It’s easy to do, and will help Canadian Blood Services maintain a safe and much-needed supply to fill the constant demand for blood during

the holiday season. The lifesaving power of blood donations is the best gift you can give to help the millions of patients every year who need transfusions. So please, roll-up your sleeves, and let’s all save some lives and give the #GiftOfLife!” In Canada someone is in need of blood every minute of every day according to Canadian Blood Services. All blood and blood products have a limited life and therefore demand remains high. Though approximately one in two Canadians are able to give blood, only one in 60 did last year; while 52 percent of Canadians have had a family member in need of blood or blood products related to surgeries or medical treatments. Additionally more than 4,500 people are on a waiting list for organ transplants in Canada, while only a fraction of Canadians are registered to donate.

STAPLES: J. Dain Staples, July 6, 1991 to Dec. 17, 2011. In loving memory of our son, who was tragically taken from us at the tender age of 20 years. We feel you with us often In oh so many ways Your memory brings us sunshine On our sad and darkest days. The lives you touched were many Through your humor, your wit and your smile If we had one wish, We would have you back If even for awhile.

Remembering our Dad/Grandpa and Papa. Sept. 28, 1920 to Dec. 22, 2011. The moment that you died Our hearts were torn in two, One side filled with heartache The other died with you. We often lie awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane With tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, We do it everyday, But missing you is heartache That never goes away. We hold you tightly with our hearts And there you will remain, Until the joyous day arrives That we will meet again. Missing you always and remember ing you with love. From your family: Dan, Shirley, Bob, Donnie, Jacqui, Jodi and families

Your memory is our keepsake With which you will never part, God has you in His keeping, We have you in our hearts. Loved and missed always, Mom & Dad 31-1

Doris Ferguson Sadly we announce the passing of our loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother Doris Wallin Ferguson on December 10 2014 in Saskatoon. She was born March 23, 1929 in Arpiers, Sask. She married Gerald Ferguson and raised their family in Viscount, Arcola and Carlyle, Sask. Mom moved to Saskatoon and worked for Sears Canada and Sunnyside Nursing Home. She had a sense of humor that endeared her to many friends at Legion Manor where many card games and antics were played. She later moved to Preston Park and enjoyed her time there. Mom looked forward to church services at McClure United Church. Mom enjoyed her home care workers and appreciated their kindness and care. She was predeceased by parents John and Gota Wallin, brothers Sven and George, sisters Kirsten Udell and Elsie Johns, sister-in-law Florence Wallin, brother-in-law Cy Udell, nieces Connie Blacklock, Debbie Wallin, nephews Garry Johns, Terry Udell. She is survived by children Sandra (John Read) and their sons Rhett (Kelly), Michael (Lindsay) and great grandsons Matthew, Trevor and Benjamin; Judy (Michael Sauter) and his sons Hardy (Heidi), Barkley (Yulia), Don (Renae) and their children Jessica, Max, Kingston, Josie, Titan, Kya; Bruce Ferguson; brother Ralph Wallin brother-in-law Clarence Johns, sister-law Mary Wallin and several nieces and nephews. At Mom’s request there will be no funeral service. Park Funeral Chapel, 311 Third Avenue, Saskatoon is in charge of arrangements.

Sympathy to Joyce Lincoln and her family on the passing of her son-in-law, Paul Labroissere of Regina. He was the late Brenda Lincoln’s husband. He passed away on Nov. 26 at the age of 73 years. Several family members travelled to Regina on Friday to attend his funeral service. Sympathy also to Joe and Jean Brisbois on the passing of her Aunt Verna Percy of Fairlight. She was a resident at Deer View Lodge. Her funeral service was in Maryfield on Saturday, Dec. 6. Happy birthday to Phil Linder who celebrated his 80th birthday recently. Family and friends joined him for a supper and social evening. On Nov. 16, the Town of Kennedy organized a farewell for George and Eleanor Hodgins. They were long time residents of Wawota before moving to Kennedy . Their next move will be to Niverville, MB We wish them well in their new home. Raise the Rafters group’s latest fundraiser was to have the Kelly Family from Moosomin entertain at the United Church on Sunday evening past. It was an enjoyed by all who attended. The many RTR fundraisers are not only fundraisers but also an opportunity for the town to attend and enjoy various events and musical groups. The Wawota Business Enhancement Group are also to be commended on the great Winter Fun Festival they organized for Friday, Dec. 5. This included free skating, snacks, horse drawn sleighs, crafts, a hot dog supper, a visit from Santa and pictures with Santa and a movie. These events were all free and supervision was provided for the youngsters freeing the adults to be shop at the local businesses that remained open for the evening. The SCC, Daycare, WBEG, Conexus, graduation class and the United Church were all involved in presenting this great evening! Belated happy birthday greetings to a former Wawota resident, Jean Dickson. She celebrated her 85th birthday at Kennedy on Dec. 3. Many friends and family joined her at the common room at Unit 6 of the Senior Housing Complex. Close family attending were son Grant and daughters, Marlene, Brenda and Gayle. Visiting with Dave and Gail Engle recently were their daughters, Nancy Eckert and Jenn Watson from Calgary. The Wawota Lions held their 46th annual Senior’s Christmas Supper last Monday evening. Over 160 appreciative seniors attended. They put on a good meal with exemplary service! Winner of the basket which was raffled was Clifford Wilson. The draws for the Museum’s Santa Surprise were Arlene Lamontagne and Janice Wilson. More than $584.00 was raised from the tickets sold. Local businesses donate the prizes. Ron and Judy Gray of Regina renewed acquaintances in Wawota over last weekend. Each Sunday at the Wawota United Church a short reading is done to inform us about the use of our money that we donate to the Mission and Service Fund. This is “Minute for Mission”. Last Sunday we were told how our contributions helped with the publishing of the church’s monthly magazine, The Observer. It is the oldest English newspaper published in North American with providing this magazine for a continuous 186 years. Sympathy to the family and friends of Phyllis Blaise who passed away at Grenfell on Dec. 6. She was 91 years old and a former resident of Wawota and the Villa at Maryfield. Her funeral service was at the United Church on Dec. 11. Interment was in the Wawota Cemetery. Raise the Rafters held their second Annual Christmas Gala On Saturday, Dec. 13. Those attending enjoyed cocktails, a fine supper, entertainment and dancing. Another example of the ingenuity and hard work from this group. As quoted from the NIAM this is what happens when you dare to dream!

Kennedy News by Doreen Cancade Another week has passed us by, but what a great week it was weather wise—the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets along with good temperatures, life in Saskatchewan is good. Dec. 10 the Kennedy Friendship gathered about 6 p.m. for a pot luck supper to celebrate the Christmas season, for entertainment everyone was pleased to have the K to 4 students from Kennedy Langbank school join them for supper and following the supper the children with the supervision of Denise Singleton and Natasha Husband entertained with a number of songs, the children all went home with a gift of some kind, it was clean up time and most of the crowd left for home but some stayed to play cards—a very good evening. Thanks to the students and teachers. (Remarks from some of the students, it was a very nice time—the food was sure good.) Sunday, Dec. 14th four United churches, Broadview, Whitewood, Langbank and Kennedy joined together in Kennedy for a Christmas celebration with the children doing most of the service, everyone enjoyed a pot luck dinner. (The church was filled.)

Submitted by Doreen Cancade

Sunday, Dec. 14th the Catholic Church had their Christmas program following the mass and it was also followed by a pot luck lunch at the Friendship Center (there was a very good attendance, but the church was not full). From 4-7 p.m. the Recreation Board and members of the Hospital Board held a beef supper with all the trimmings at the Kennedy Community hall, a sum of $2500.00 was raised at this event. Thanks to all who came from surrounding towns, people like to help one another when it is a fund raising event (most of all to eat and socialize). Violet Daku and son Allen went on a journey to Okotoks, AB on Dec. 4th. They were surprised to see all the snow but that did not stop them from having a great time visiting with Edward and Louise Daku in their new home, they also had the privilege of travelling to Calgary to visit Betty and Brian Fegan, also Jolanda Szakacs. The next day Debbie Tait took them in to see Spruce Meadows, which was truly decorated for Christmas, absolutely gorgeous. Wanda and Darrin Prentice of Airdrie, AB joined them all for dinner before leaving

There were 18 curlers Thursday, position available immediately December 4, 2014 and then 12 curlers met Monday, December 8. After curling Monday, they had a little Christmas festivity as someone brought just the right ingredients for their little gathering at the Carlyle Curling Rink. The weather has been springlike nearly all week but 47-2 there is a slight skiff of snow this Monday morning. Not enough for snowmobilers to get excited and spring is officially about four months away. Kenosee Lake Coffee Drinkers at the Four Seasons have been responding in goodly numbers as Saturday brought out 15 drinkers on December 2nd, Thursday, December 4 was down to six going fothrwere in the coffee (down because it was the same day for the Christmas Supper) then back to 15 on Saturday, December 6. It’s a square round table with fun and frivolity involved at the Four Seasons! The Christmas Supper at Four Seasons on Dec. 4 began with a time for wine or other choice of drink. Marg Gustafson and Helen Humphries, members of the Needlecraft Guild, sold the final tickets on the 2014 quilt, afghan and pillow, and the quilted foot warmer for the bottom of the bed. Just before the meal at 6:30 pm new President of the Four Seasons Community Center Jeanie Arndt had Fred Easton say grace. Workers for this Four Seasons Christmas Pot Luck were Cathy Hoffort, Lois Gilliss, Irene Dorrance and Debbie Sorenson.

are to grass fires and sometimes taking the fire truck into the field results in it needing to be towed. One of the individuals attending the supper, Nora Weightman, was happy to have been able to attend: “They always have a good meal here, I’ve never had a bad one here, they always do such a great job.” The evening also

Christmas stories from White Bear 4/5 split How Rudolph and an Elf and Frosty Saved Christmas By: Selaine Pinacie- Litttlecheif grade 4 It all begins at Santa’s work shop when the toy maker broke. The elves tried to fix it but it was no use. Rudolph came and asked “what is wrong?-” “The toy maker broke! What are we going to do without the toy maker? We are going to have to cancel Christmas.” Santa said “Unless somebody goes to the other side of the North pole.” One of the elves said “I will.” “I will too!” said Rudolph. So Mrs. Claus got them ready. Santa’s elf asked “Are you going to pack us a lunch?” Mrs Claus Said “yes.” So Rudolph and Santa’s Elf left. They saw a snowman and he asked them “what are you doing?” “We’re going to the other side of the North Pole to get a new toy maker for Santa or else there will be no Christmas.” Said the Elf. “Ooo can I come?” asked Frosty the Snowman. “Ya, sure.” said Rudolph. They made it to the other side of the North Pole and there it was, the very last toy maker. They took it back to Santa so Christmas still went on.

By: Wilson Kennedy grade 4 Once upon a time Rudolph was playing with Santa. Santa threw Rudolph’s ball into the forest. Rudolph ran as fast as he could to get his ball out of the forest. He met a little boy named Carson. Carson was lost in the forest. Then Rudolph realized that he was lost too. Carson had a compass. “Do you know how to use this?” inquired Carson. “NO!” screamed Rudolph. “We’re lost!” yelled Rudolph. “What are we going to do” cried Carson. “Calm down. Santa’s house is just over there.” declared Rudolph. “Really!?! We’re saved!” yelled Carson. “I think.”replied Rudolph. “What? Let’s climb that tree, we can get a better view. Rudolph, climb that tree.” Said Carson “ I can’t climb! I have hooves not hands!” Said Rudolph. “Right I’ll do it.” said Carson. Carson climbed and climbed. “ I see it” declared Carson. “What way?” Asked Rudolph. “North.” replied Carson. “Okay let’s go!-” said Rudolph, “I’m home!” yelled Rudolph.

THE END and Merry Christmas The End. Christmas Time By: Thedra Ann Standingready grade 5 I love Christmas time because I love to open my new presents. On Christmas day I put on my Christmas dress then my family and I go to my grandma’s house. I have fun at my grandma’s house because the whole family is there. I like to go and play outside in the snow. I play outside with my sisters and brothers. We make snow angels and snowmen. I like to make an igloo and it takes a long time to make igloos. All the kids play outside while all the adults make the food When the food is done all the kids come running inside and they rush to the kitchen table. The adults eat in the living room. We are so excited so we eat as fast as we can because we open all the presents next!

By: Tasean Lavalle grade 5 Santa’s elves were hard workers. They liked to work. They had fun. And all the presents were ready and Santa’s sleigh was too. The reindeer were ready. Then Santa left to give presents to all the kids. The reindeer just stopped, then Santa was stuck in the middle of nowhere. There was no Christmas spirit, the reindeer couldn’t fly. Santa waited suddenly the reindeer’s feet started to lift off the ground. Santa said “fly, fly.” and the sleigh lifted off the ground. He had to hurry because he only had 2 hours and 100,000 houses left. Thankfully he got it all done, and went back to the North Pole. He told all his elves that Christmas was a success and immediately told his elves to get ready for next year.

Christmas stories from White Bear 4/5 split continued from page 7 The Christmas When They Got Lot’s of Presents By: Callie Standingready Grade 4 There was a girl that was laying in her bed when she got up it was morning. “It’s finally Christmas!” She said. Then she went to the computer then she saw lot’s of presents. She got about twenty presents or a little bit more. She went to go wake up her big brother and her dad and mom. They went to go look how much presents they had. They all had ten big presents and ten little presents. They all got what they wanted for Christmas, they were so happy. They all said that it was the best Christmas ever. The Best Christmas Ever By: Tyrain Redstar Grade 4 It was one day before Christmas and Sharissa and I went to bed really early. We went to bed at 8:30 and then we woke up at 6:00 am and we opened our presents. I stayed up all night to play my Xbox 360. I got Lego and I played with it. It was a big Lego set. It was Halo and I ate all my candy up. We went to Emma’s house and Emma and I opened up out presents then Emma and I saw Santa, and Jack Frost. And in the morning we went to skate on the lake. Emma’s dad cleaned the whole lake and we skated for a really long tome. Two hours later we went to get Sasha. She kept on falling over. Then we went inside to play games. The End.

Wishing you all the very best of the Christmas season and a very Happy New Year!

Christmas Memories

Let the celebration begin, and may you carry the magic of this Christmas with you for many years to come!

FAST TRUCKING SERVICE LTD.

By: Delilah Littlecheif grade 5 On Christmas dinner everyone in my family gets together and talks with each other. We laugh, look at photos , watch videos, and play board games. On Christmas Eve, I get ready for Christmas at five O’clock. My family and I make our gingerbread house together, Christmas is the best day of the year! My mom and I decorate the Christmas tree while my dad and my brother decorate outside. At 6:30 my mom makes supper for our family just me, my brother and dad. Then we put out the cookies and milk at 8:30. When it’s 7:00 in the morning and it’s still dark out, I run down the hall and stare at the wonderful colours lighting up our Christmas tree! Christmas is magical.

Santa’s Cookies are Missing By Jayda Kakakaway grade 4 Santa wanted some cookies and milk so he went to the kitchen. Santa yelled, “Ahhhhh! NO MORE COOKIES!” Mrs. Claus ran into the kitchen and said, “What’s wrong Santa?” “There are no more cookies!” When Mrs. Claus tried to make Santa some more she was shocked. “Santa, we have no more cookies and no more cookie powder and you can’t make cookies without cookie powder! What are we going to do?” cried Mrs. Claus Santa though for a minute and said, “I think I know where we have to go.” “Where my little cupcake?” sobbed Mrs. Claus. Santa explained that they needed to go to his evil brother Zac’s place. Zac was an evil Santa and he was married to an evil Mrs. Claus. “He just lives in the mountain where it is super, super, super cold. You will have to come with me,” explained Santa. “Why do I have to come?” shrieked Mrs. Claus. “I will need your help to get the cookies and cookie powder back, my sweet juicy muffin,” said Santa. “Come my darling and let’s get into the sleigh.” They were on the sleigh for quite a long time. When they were almost there Santa said, “We are here my darling and let’s get that cookie powder and cookies.” Santa and Mrs. Claus got off the sleigh and Santa and Evil Santa Zac started fighting. Mrs. Claus ran and got the cookies and the cookie powder. They got into the sleigh and flew home and they lived happily ever after.

Christmas stories from Maryfield School

Lord of the Santa’s One day Rudolf went into a secret lab. It was evil Santa’s lab, he was working on something that changes things into being evil. Then Rudolf tripped in the pot of the evil transforming stuff. Then evil Santa found him and made him his slave. Five years later Santa was like, “Where’s Rudolf?” Then Dickson was like, “You just noticed that he was gone for five years?” Then a reindeer soldier said that a giant orc reindeer army is approaching. Santa said, “Close the gates and prepare for battle.” Dickson saw Rudolf and evil Santa leading the attack. Dickson told Santa, Santa was shocked, catapults fired at the walls of helms Santa the orc reindeers broke through the gates. Santa was scared Dickson and the other (ssr) reindeer (super-secret reindeer) they got in a fight with Rudolf. Rudolf won the fight. All the reindeer soldiers fled. Then evil Santa and Santa fought, then Rudolf came, then Sandolf came. One of the good reindeer wizards, he came with the elves. Then they pushed the orc reindeer army away. Then they fought Rudolf and made him good again. After that they fought evil Santa and through him a way in the Elvis prison. Then they lived happily ever after that. The end. Bryce Penner Gr. 6 Maryfield School

Christmas is… Christmas is when there is red and white everywhere with family, friends and lots of joy. Christmas is when lots of kids are happy with lots of presents and toys. Kids are so happy they wake up so early, they also wake up their parents. They get so excited they just start to rip up their presents with colourful wrapping paper everywhere. After all the gifts are opened the kids play with their new toys, so happy and having fun they might try to be better for next Christmas. Like they might even try to help more, clean their rooms, feed the pets, help with the garden, cut the grass, clean the house, help with jobs and cut weeds. Hope your kid or kids help all year round. Hayden Olson Gr. 5 Maryfield School Christmas What Christmas means to me is when our family gets together and we get to open presents and eat brunch. After that we go to our cousin’s house and open gifts there. When we are done we go out and play in the snow and skidoo. We will pull a calf sled behind the skidoo and get pulled in there. When we come inside we will have hot chocolate. Then when we will play with our toys there for a

bit. When it gets around 10 p.m. we will go to our house and go to sleep. Parker Sweeting Gr. 5 Maryfield School Christmas One day far away in Christmasland there was a feud over who believes in what for Christmas. The Moose clan believed that all Christmas was about is Santa and presents. The Penguin clan believed that the true meaning of Christmas was baby Jesus being born. This feud had gone on for thousands of years. But that all changed when a little penguin was born. His name was Beaky. He was born three weeks before Christmas. He had recently been through two years and he did not like the way the Moose clan celebrated Christmas. He was determined to change that. So, he started a protest. He got all his friends to help make posters, banners, and even buy mega-phones! They went waddling around singing, “Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her king!” One by one the Moose members helped and started believing. All except one family. They were the meanest family. After a lot of persuading, they finally joined. I think the true meaning of Christmas is

Jesus being born. Kaitlyn Versey Gr. 5 Maryfield School Santa and his video games It’s Christmas Eve and Santa’s sitting in his office and playing video games and Elf 1 is trying to get him out for Christmas Eve and to ride the reindeer. Deliver all the presents to the children to make them believe in the holiday and the reindeer and Santa. So, he won’t get out, so he uses a door breaker to open it. It opened and it was just a radio of him playing video games. Elf 1 thinks he’s out doing his job. All over the globe delivering presents for everyone. Nick Richards Gr. 5 Maryfield School What does Christmas mean to me? I think Christmas means to remember Jesus born in the manger. Also to be thankful of what you have. It’s not the presents. It’s also a time to be happy and see your family. A Christmas Story On Christmas Eve not a sound was made not even a squeak. Then on the roof a click was made. Down comes Santa from the chimney top. He comes in the house and

stuffs all the stockings to the very top. Then he goes and puts presents under the Christmas tree. Out comes a little girl for a drink of water and up goes Santa out the chimney top. Ho Ho Ho, Have a Merry Christmas! Bo Moore Gr. 5 Maryfield School The Elves Alright. I’m going to tell you a story about the elves. There was three of them. Their names were Jimmy, Willy, and Jonny, and they often got into trouble. They love to ride the reindeer. They usually break something. Like the last time, they lost a ski on Santa’s sleigh. You know, Santa, he doesn’t get made at anyone he laughs and says, “Ho ho ho, you trouble makers.” On the other hand when Mrs. Claus found out they got sent inside, grounded from the reindeer for a week. When they got older they got into more trouble like shaving the baby reindeer and when they got grounded they would sneak out and get caught. When they were old enough to make gifts in Santa’s shop they did and maybe someday they might get to go with Santa on Christmas Eve. Cooper Chisholm Gr. 6 Maryfield School

From all of us to all of you . . .

Surprise Once upon a time a little boy named Jimmy was sitting in his room. Jimmy didn’t fit in at school very well, so Jimmy spent a lot of time in his room reading. One day Jimmy and his little brother Tony were writing their Christmas lists. Jimmy wanted a really cool sled that holds lots of people, he wanted to bring it to school and then people might like him a little more. Jimmy’s little brother Tony wanted a snowboard and a dog. Jimmy went to

school the next day. No one wanted to play with Jimmy, so he read on the old beach outside. A little while later George Brick came. George bullied Jimmy all the time, this time he brought his friends. They all started throwing snowballs at Jimmy. Jimmy dashed home. Jimmy’s mom told him that it’s almost Christmas. A few weeks went by George Brick kept on bullying him. Continued on Page B10

It’s almost Christmas. The Elves of the North Pole are getting ready to make the jolly Christmas presents. The elves are putting on their red and green outfits. Some are yellow, some are blue. But that ONE elf is wearing purple. That elf’s name is Parputrisca. Parputrisca walks over to her station and ties on the lovely bows. She’s one of the finest workers. Some people glare at her. “Why’s she wearing purple?” an elf asks. “I don’t know. But it looks really stupid,” another elf chuckles. Parputrisca ignores them. She just keeps going to her work. An elf walks over, and ‘accidently’ bumps into her. “Oops!”the elf says sarcastically. Parputrisca is knocked over. She trips over the table and crushes all the presents. “Parputrisca! What have you done? You curshed all the presents!” an elf cries. “I-I didn’t do it! I didn’t mean to! S-someone pushed me! I swear! It was

an accident!” Parputrisca tries to explain. Santa walks over, he rubs his face, and lets out a sigh. “What have you done? You CRUSHED all my wonderful gifts! You are truly, NAUGHTY!” Santa yells. “Santa! I didn’t mean it. It was an accident. Someone bumped into me and I tripped. I swear! I’ll work harder.” Parputrisca says. “It’s too late. Some of the kids just won’t receive their gifts.” Parputrisca bursts out of the room. She kicks the bushes and hides between the reindeer farm. “Let me guess. You’re the odd one out?” a voice says. “Who’s there?”Parputrisca asks. “Relax. It’s me, Rudolph,” he says. “What do you want?” she hisses. “There’s always that odd one. The one that gets bullied, the one that gets made fun of,” Rudolph says looking up into the skies. Parputrisca looks up to Rudolph. “What did you

do to make people stop hating you? I’m sure you were one of the odd ones before,” she says. “I just tried. People made fun of my nose. But my nose was one of the things that saved me. My nose led the sled. Cause of my nose, I’m the leader of the pack.” Rudolph said smiling. “So, the odd parts of your body saved you?” she asks standing up. “I guess so,” Rudolph says as he walks away. Parputrisca walks into the factory wiping her tears. But then, she hears a big, BOOM. Parputrisca hears shrieking and screaming. She bursts into the ‘Building’ section and she finds an army of penguins. They crush the presents, and kidnap Santa. “Destroy everything, and grab Santa,” the penguin says. The penguin has a Russian accent. It watches as the army destroys the factory. Parputrisca had to do something. She couldn’t just stand there and watch it all happen. Parputrisca hides in a purple closet that matches her purple elf jacket. She hears running footsteps. Then sees polar bear feet. She gasps. The polar bear stops, its feet are pointed at the closet. Just as the bear whips open the closet, Parputrisca tackles the bear, slamming him on the ground, and she runs away. She could see the bear sprinting at her. She makes a sharp turn, then she hops onto the elf-acopter. She switches the buttons on, the elf-a-copter then flies it. The polar bear is jumping to reach it. Parputrisca aims the peppermint gun at the bear, then rapid fires it at the enemy. Eventually the polar bear ran away. “Retreat!” the penguin yells. The army sprints toward the door and runs away.

Christmas stories from Maryfield School - Continued from page 10 Parputrisca keeps shooting until all the penguins waddle away. “Drop Santa!” Parputrisca says as she reloads the gun. Without hesita-

tion, the flightless bird drops the bad, then waddles along with the army. “You saved us!” cried an elf. “Hurray!” an-

other elf cheers. Parputrisca blushes. She lands the elf-a-copter. She jogs toward Santa and checks his pulse. “He’s alive,” she awkwardly smiles.

After the whole incident, Parputrisca got promoted to a higher class, to Reindeer Training. No army of penguins attacked and Parputrisca never got bullied. She got compli-

ments and hearts from little kids. Every elf looks up to the brave Parputrisca. Every elf wore purple the next Christmas, and Parputrisca the purple elf,

lived happily, ever, after. The end! Matthew Gil Gr. 6 Maryfield School

Christmas Carols Rudolph The Silver Bells Red Nosed City sidewalks, busy Reindeer sidewalks. You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen, Comet, and Cupid, and Donder and Blitzen But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose and if you ever saw it you would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Rudolph play in any reindeer games. Then one foggy Christmas eve Santa came to say: “Rudolph with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?” Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you’ll go down in history!

Christmas stories from Manor School - 7/8 What do I think of Christmas?? My favourite thing about Christmas is spending time with my family. The day before Christmas, my brother and I always get to open a gift, but it has to be the smallest under the tree. A good memory was when we lived in Regina. Every year for Christmas my mom would set up a giant family Christmas party and we would get to see all our cousins, aunties and uncles. It was so much fun. But my favourite thing was putting the cookies and milk down for Santa when I was a little girl. I always had to make sure that there was a note right beside them. My mom always made sure that the Christmas tree was up after my birthday because my birthday is in December, but ever since 4 years ago I have convinced my mom to put the tree up before my birthday and I always decorate the house. It’s so fun. Christmas is all about having fun, giving and spending time with your

family, at least that’s what I think. Christmas may mean something different to you. Micheline Biermann Grade 7 Manor School My Christmas Traditions In my family we have a lot of traditions. One of them is having our grandpa or someone else dress up as Santa and hand presents out. Every Christmas we also always leave out cookies and milk. Every year we have Christmas at my house. Always on Christmas Eve we get to open one present. Also, at the beginning of December we get a chocolate countdown until Christmas. In conclusion, our family has a lot of traditions.

Mykel. Biermann Grade 8 Manor School CHRISTMAS!!! This is our family’s Christmas adventure. First thing Christmas morning we will open gifts, then dad will do his chores. After chores we will have a quick lunch, then leave to go to our grandpa & grandma’s house. When we get there, we open gifts with them, my cousins, aunt and uncle. On Boxing day, we will go to my Auntie Leila’s house and have a big supper. After we’re done eating, visiting and playing, we go back to my grandpa and grandma’s house. The next day we go back home and enjoy our gifts.

Christmas stories from Manor School - 7/8 - cont. from page 12 What Does Christmas Mean to Me? To me, Christmas means to getting together with my friends and family to have fun. Every Christmas Eve my family and I go to church, after the service is over we head back to our house and invite our friends over for a party. The party would normally go to eleven o’clock or a bit over that. Then the next morning when Christmas comes we would get up early and exchange presents with each other. Later that morning we would invite a few members of the family to come over for a big breakfast. Afterwards we would go to our grandmothers for the rest of the day, when we get there we would play games with the rest of the family. After a while we would have a big dinner then exchange presents again. Next we would play more games until supper, after we finish that we visit for a bit longer and play a few games. That is what Christmas means to me. Kyle Bye Grade 8 Manor School My Christmas Traditions In my family, we have many traditions. One of our traditions is always having a Christmas party on Christ-

mas Eve. We go to church every Christmas Eve then come home for our party. On Christmas or Boxing Day we always spend a day with our family. Every year we put up our stockings. On Christmas morning we always have breakfast with my Aunt, Uncle, and Grandpa. Our family has lots of traditions like always tracking Santa, or leaving cookies and milk for him!

Eastman Grade 7 ManorS chool The Spirit of Giving In this short paragraph, I will explain what Christmas means to my family and I; the spirit of Giving. Giving is what makes Christmas enjoyable for my family and I, because we always come together just to talk about what we plan on giving to our relatives and siblings, just for the fun of it! Even though some just think

about and enjoy only the receiving, my family always asks… What would Christmas be without giving? Santa always gives to the nice little boys and girls, and I think that we should follow his example, and share the excellent feeling of giving! Doesn’t giving people gifts and special presents always give them big smiles on their faces? And, most importantly, giving isn’t just for family; we give to our friends, we give to our neighbors, and we give to those that we find important! So, that is what Christmas means to my family and me! But, the question still remains… what would Christmas be

without giving?

Christmas.

The night before Christmas At Christmas me and my family and some relatives I have never seen in my life meet up at our grandma’s and grandpa’s. The night before Christmas we have a really big feast. After we have a little gift exchange then we all just hang out for a little bit then we go to bed. I am so happy to meet up with our relatives the night before

What Christmas means to me What do think when you hear about Christmas Eve? Christmas is the best thing in life because I get to see my family that I never get to see. I like setting up my Christmas Tree with family and friends. Before I go to sleep I put carrots out for the reindeer and milk and cookies for Santa. The next morning we get to open presents while listening to the fireplace channel. So all these are reasons why I love Christmas. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Ambria Morris Grade: 7 Manor School Christmas means… What Christmas means to me… I think it’s about celebrating the birth of Jesus, having your family over, and having a huge supper. And giving. I think Christmas is the most important day of the year. People have lots of traditions on Christmas. From hanging up stockings and giving reindeer carrots to giving Santa cookies and milk. There are many, many traditions some of mine are… the countdown calendar! Every year we buy them. The calendar is for every day up until Christmas, and for every day you open a flap with the number of the day on it and eat a chocolate. I really enjoy decorating the tree and hanging up stockings, that’s what Christmas means to me! And you couldn’t forget seeing all the smiles and laughs on your family’s faces! Christmas isn’t just about receiving gifts. It’s about enjoying your family and friends, and celebrating Jesus birthday. And that’s what Christmas really means to me. Ashtyn Preston Grade: 8 Manor School

I run downstairs to get up my brother and my sister then my parents. We go to the living room there are lots of gifts. We phone my family and they come over then we open gifts. My favorite part of Christmas is when we open and give gifts. I wish we can do this every day! I love when my dad and my uncles and I go ski-dooing on Christmas day, it is one of the best parts of Christmas. To me Christmas means getting together with family and having fun. Dylan Preston Grade 7 Manor School

The Meaning of Christmas To me, Christmas means family and giving. Every year on Christmas Eve, my close family and I stay at my grandparents’ house overnight after we have a nice supper. On Christmas morning, my sister and I wake up early and open our stockings. Once the rest of my family is awake, we start opening gifts. I love looking at my family members’ faces when they open gifts from me, or others. Once we are all done opening presents we have a nice brunch then talk and play lots of board games for most of the day. Once everyone has talked and we are done playing board games, my great grandpa comes over and we have a big feast with ham or turkey, sometimes even both! I am looking forward to seeing my family open gifts this Christmas!

Grade 7 ManorS chool Christmas What do you think of when you hear Christmas? I think of my family getting together and visiting with each other. I like putting decorations up every year, and making the house look nice. Of course my most favorite part is presents. And that is why I love Christmas!

Vincent Gabrielle Shackleton Grade 7 Manor School Christmas This is my favorite part about Christmas. My favorite part is leaving cookies, milk, and carrots because Santa and the reindeer always need a refill. After delivering all the presents and eating all the cookies he would be really full. On Christmas morning when we wake up, the cookies, milk, and carrots are all gone. Santa always leaves a letter that’s says “thanks for the cookies and milk”. That was my favorite part about Christmas and I can’t wait for it to be here. Trey Weir Grade 7 Manor School

Desiree Riddell Grade 8 Manor School Christmas This is what Christmas mean to me. Christmas is about family traditions and giving. Every year we leave out cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for reindeer. He needs all those cookies for a sugar rush to survive Christmas. That is what Christmas means to me. Davien S.

JOY is the message of Christmas The very first word that the Angel announced to Mary was “Rejoice!” “Rejoice, O highly favored daughter, the Lord is with you! “. Then Mary burst forth with her splendid hymn of praise: “My soul proclaims the greatness of

the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” We have every reason to rejoice this Christmas, because our Savior did not merely come to pay us a passing visit, but he came to stay. He took flesh of the Virgin Mother and is one

of our races on this planet earth. He will remain with us all during our lifetime and he will remain with us all through eternity when time is no more, to be our everlasting reward. He lives in our hearts as long as we do not expel him by

grievous sin. He lives in our midst as the believing community who welcomes him, listens to him, and endeavor to live as he teaches us. With John the Baptist we can exclaim: “I am overjoyed to hear the voice of the bridegroom

as he comes. It is my joy to be his friend. He must increase by his presence and his power within me, and I must be absorbed more and more by him (See Jn. 3:29).

AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! Rev. Fr Yodel Cereno Parish Administrator Church of Our Lady Parish Carlyle

MERRY CHRISTMAS

A Gift from Dad! Pastor Carl Rushton Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. This is the season for giving! More people adapt a Spirit of Giving at this time a year than at any other time! Stores are busy; Children are Anticipating! Parents are spending; sometimes beyond our means, to attain THE PER-

FECT GIFT! For our child. Competition is rampant! Will another child get a BETTER GIFT than mine! As a Dad, often I think back at the gifts I received and although the price was not as great as today, I will never forget the look on Dad’s face. He never forgot the look on mine either! Take a moment now and think of just one moment in your memory! Some of you ladies would think it was heavenly! but Jesus Christ is the only gift any of us will ever receive that came straight from heaven from a Loving Father! * We were all born in sin and in desperate need of forgiveness and deliverance from our guilt, shame, and fleshly behaviours.

We have emotional needs, material needs, and all manner of brokenness. So God the Father sent His only begotten Son into our lives. He knew that no other gift could ever provide for our needs or fulfill our longings as completely as Christ Jesus! - This Gift Of Salvation Is For Everyone! Many will Not Receive A Gift From Your Natural Dad! Maybe he is gone and all you have is memories, - But ALL may receive Our Heavenly Father’s Gift! The Greatest gift of all! ** On Christmas Morning; Receive A Gift Of Love! Receive The Gift Of Salvation! ** Keep Jesus In Christmas! Keep Jesus In Everything!

Wishing You & Yours The Best This Christmas Season!

Christmas messages continued from page 21 Why Christmas? Regardless of what this Christmas season is called now with different names such as holiday season, season greetings or the end season of year, Christmas has become the the biggest festival of the world. Nowadays literally every single county in the world and everyone celebrate and enjoy Christmas season regardless what religious background they have. It seems to be that Christmas has already conquered the whole world even though the real spirit of Christmas may has been twisted into secularized and commercialized.

Follow your heart this Holiday Season May His Love and wisdom guide you, and may peace and contentment be your constant companions this holiday season and beyond.

However so long as the people of the world keep December 25, Jesus’

We’re pleased to join you and yourfamily in prayer and gratitude on this holy occasion, and count the gift of your friendship among our many kind blessings.

Stoughton & Kisbey Branches

From the beginning of human history until today and forever, there has been none a human being’s birthday except Christmas that has become the worldwide festival for

such a long time more than two thousand years. Even now Christmas has been becoming more popular than ever before. No matter what reasons are behind, Christmas carols have been echoing from right after Remembrance Day this year. All kinds of carols and atmospheres of Christmas celebration have already been filling in the universe. How many people could remember your birthday? Definitely this phenomena of early mood of Christmas should be beyond our imagination and control. No matter what, people enjoy and rejoice in Christmas season. It is good for everyone, both

believers and nonebelievers. Whose birthday is able to make everyone happy and the whole world glad? Truly Christmas is good for everyone and anyone. So the birth of Jesus Christ must be the Good News for the whole world. “But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for see-I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people; to you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior who is the Messiah, the Lord’” (Luke 2:10-11). So we all people of the world are able to say, “Merry Christmas!” to everyone and anyone. Rev. Sung Shim Carlyle United Church

birthday, as Christmas Day, the spirit of Christmas will never fade away. Why? Because Christmas is God’s promise. It was God’s plan to send His Son Jesus Christ to the world in order to save the whole humanity. So it is totally different from other festivals that people have made or developed like Dickens Village Festival which our community have been celebrating for years in the beginning of Christmas season.

In 1955 an advertisement in Colorado Springs by Sears Roebuck & Co. had misprinted Santa’s telephone number! The children calling Santa were

actually calling the Continental Air Defense Command or CONAD (now the North American Aeorspace Defense Command or NORAD) Commander-inChief’s “hotline” because of the mistake. Since youth were calling CONAD, Director of Operations, Colonel Harry Shoup, requested a status update on Santa’s progress from the North Pole and children were then given an update on Santa’s location around the world. Now NORAD, a joint defense force made up of Canada and the United States continues this tradition. From young children to media networks

around the world, NORAD is trusted with tracking Santa as he travels with his reindeer around the world each Christmas Eve. The radar system established along the Canadian and American border is tipped off when Santa leaves the North Pole on his yearly mission of reaching every youth around the world. Through a series of satellites NORAD then tracks Santa around the world. Based on heat signatures, the satellites are able to pinpoint Santa’s position due to the unique heat signature Rudolph’s nose gives off. Another feature NORAD uses each year is

the SantaCam, which began in 1998. Placed in strategic positions around the world these high-tech cameras, used specifically for tracking Santa on Christmas Eve, are turned on and even catch images of Jolly Ol’ St. Nick and his team of reindeers while on his mission. N O R A D ’s S a n t a Tracker can be found at www.noradsanta.org, where continual updates are found throughout Dec. 24, as currently Santa is hard at work at the North Pole where Santa lives. Found here with Mrs. Claus, the many elves who help make all of the toys and tend the reindeer, as well as the reindeer themselves!

Christmas messages continued Christmas Message from Premier Brad Wall 700 years before the First Christmas, one of many promises by Old Testament prophets was made about the coming of the Christ. “For unto us a child is born,” wrote Isaiah, “unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace”. Peace? Isn’t that the promise of Christmas? Not just peace between nations but between each of us…toward each of us…for each of us. Should we not then be about the work of keeping that promise? Not just this season but all the year? How then can we keep it? We need only look to the examples all Christmas message from Ed Komarnicki Member of Parliament SourisMoose Mountain Dear Friends, It’s Christmas! The Christmas season is a special interlude and break from the busyness of our lives. I love to hear Christmas carols, Christmas music in the shops, and to watch the hustle and bustle of Christmas shoppers. Ev-

around us in this amazing Saskatchewan…to find that answer. Years ago, for example, an Indian family immigrated to Canada and ended up in Victoire, Saskatchewan. They found warm hospitality in a church in the nearby town of Canwood. It was there they were first invited into a home to share the Canadian family’s turkey dinner. They were impressed by the food and the love shown to them and the next year another new friend came and helped them prepare their first turkey dinner. It is now their own tradition that they have passed down to their kids. Someone kept the promise of Christmas for them…and now they do it for others. A young boy from

Waldeck, Saskatchewan, said to his Mom, “Ya know Mom, people should be buying toys for all those kids who don’t have toys. I don’t need more toys. I’ve got lots. Actually I should be giving more of my toys to all of those kids who don’t get anything.” His Mom recognized a teachable moment, and she made good use of that caring thought and together they packed some shoeboxes for Samaritan’s Purse. And that Waldeck Mom and her son…kept the promise of Christmas. In Prince Albert, two young women, First Nations University students started a blessing bag project to reach out to the homeless. The blessing bags are full of helpful small items, meant to add a

little spark to someone’s life, just when they need it most. And with each blessing bag, the promise of Christmas is made anew and kept anew. Do we not, each of us have promises to keep this Christmas…for unto us a Child is born…the very Prince of Peace. From me and my wife Tami, and our children: Megan and our future son-in-law Kyle, our son Colter and our youngest Faith, and on behalf of my colleagues in the Government of Saskatchewan, I wish you a Christmas full of shared blessings, and kept promises in surroundings filled with love. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

eryone seems a bit more jovial and there is a spirit of celebration in the air. It is also a time to visit, to partake of Christmas food, to find some personal time, to read and relax, and to simply enjoy the season. Notwithstanding personal trials we may endure, there are so many more benefits and blessings that we can be thankful for. We live in a great country where personal freedom, the pursuit

of justice, and the rule of law is the norm. Yes, we can celebrate with hope, for as Isaiah the prophet says in Isaiah 9:6: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” As you gather with

family and friends, may you celebrate with peace, hope, and goodwill toward all mankind. Sally and I extend from our home to yours best wishes for a very Merry Christmas and happy and prosperous New Year. Yours truly, Ed Komarnicki (Member of Parliament Souris – Moose Mountain)

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas By Clement Clarke Moore 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds; While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the newfallen snow, Gave a lustre of midday to objects below, When what to my wondering eyes did appear, But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer, With a little old driver so lively and quick, I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers

they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name: "Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!" As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky; So up to the housetop the coursers they flew With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too— And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a pedler just opening his pack. His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose

like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a little round belly That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight— “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
