Local producers excited by WTO ruling on COOL Kelly Running Observer Staff
In 2008 a costly initiative which affected the Canadian, and specifically the Saskatchewan, livestock industry was put in place in the United States. The Country of Origin Labelling or COOL was a protectionist policy aimed at promoting American over international meat, which created cost to Canadian livestock producers and American consumers. The World Trade Organization (WTO), after eight years of U.S. legislators pushing COOL, has officially ruled in favour of Canada and Mexico – also affected by the U.S. legislation. COOL was thought to be a way of allowing American consumers quality control and ensuring the safety of food; but, this actually translated into a tough market for those in the Canadian beef industry and drove up prices of product in the United States without being able to ensure safety. Ryan Beierbach, on the board of directors of the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association, said, “The WTO ruled in favour of Canada and Mexico, that was the U.S.’s last appeal, we’ll see what else they try to do, but it’s been costing Canadian cattle producers for the last eight years. Cattle prices haven’t been too bad these last couple of years, but before that they were down and we were at a disadvantage. Now it will be a more competitive market and many people in the United States see that. We trade with the U.S. and they trade with us, but a group of American protectionists wanted to be able to export, but not import, and that’s not really the way trade works.” Beierbach went on to say that this affects Canadian producers, but will have a positive effect on the Saskatchewan livestock industry in particular. “We don’t have any major packing plants in Saskatchewan, so our cattle are shipped east, west, or south and so this decision affects us in Saskatchewan specifically because of that,” Beierbach said. One of the reasons for COOL in the United States was based on food safety, but Beierbach was found with Lloyd Thompson, Zone One Chair of the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association and is on the board of directors of the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association, as well as Ralph Corcoran who practices holistic soil management and many others were found south of Carlyle at John Brown Farms for an old fashioned branding. The Observer was invited by Helen Finucane, owner of John Brown Farms – her father’s legacy – to the branding where it was stressed that Canadian livestock is safe and top quality, which is why the overruling of COOL by the WTO was important. “Herd health is very important and brandings are important because it’s when the calves get their inoculations,” Corcoran stated. Thompson added, “It’s the same as childhood vaccinations, but for the cattle to ensure they’re happy and healthy.” These happy and healthy calves then translate into happy buyers in the fall according to Corcoran.

An old fashioned branding was held at John Brown Farms south of Carlyle on Saturday, May 23, where fellow producers helped out owner Helen Finucane with branding and inoculations of calves. Those present were excited about the direction of the industry with the WTO ruling on Country of Origin Labeling in the United States.

From Page 1 - COOL THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: PISCES, ARIES AND TAURUS.
Week of May 31 to June 6, 2015 ARIES You find you have inherited lots of professional and family responsibilities. If you have young children, you get actively involved with their school activities.
Additionally, Corcoran explained that the health of the calves starts down in the dirt, explaining the importance of holistic management. “Keeping healthy soils makes healthy grass and with more food value in that grass the cattle are getting better care and are healthier,” Corcoran stated. Thus, producers in Saskatchewan and across Canada have happy and healthy herds while their livelihoods were being threatened by COOL, which has now hopefully run its course after the WTO ruling.
TAURUS It’s time to plan your next vacation. Don’t be surprised if it involves thinking about a lot of details, especially if you’re going to be travelling with a group.
GEMINI There’s lots of emotion in the air! Maybe it concerns a fairly drastic change, such as moving. You need to rebuild some elements in your life in order to rely on a solid foundation.
CANCER Your love relationship occupies a lot of your thoughts during the week. You spend some quality time with each other, especially to plan a bright future together.
LEO A foodie by nature, you may have a natural tendency to be a bit overweight. You’re probably already aware of this reality and don’t mind undertaking a strict but effective diet.

Brandings are a tradition used to keep track of one’s herd, but to also ensure the health of calves. John Brown Farms’ branding was held on Saturday, May 23, where a group of ranchers came together to help owner, Helen Finucane, with her branding. All are excited by the light at the end of an eight year tunnel with the World Trade Organization ruling in favour of Canada and Mexico regarding a United States legislation on Country of Origin Labeling.
VIRGO You distinguish yourself within a group or within the company for which you work. You’re proud of this rather daring achievement.
LIBRA You decide to buy or sell a property on the spur of the moment. You meet your goal of finding a place that’s suitable for the whole family.

SCORPIO You don’t always express yourself openly, but what you say is deeply thoughtful. This makes a big difference in the eyes of many people. Staff photo by Kelly Running
SAGITTARIUS There is some shopping to do. Feel free to negotiate prices; you may be able to get good repayment terms for a mortgage, for example.
With the WTO ruling in favour of Canada and Mexico on the Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) Saskatchewan cattle producers are excited for the future.
“Brandings are something that brings the community together, people move around to help each other out, and the kids have to learn somehow and there are no better guys to help them, watch out for them, and get them out of a wreck than the ones here,” stated Lloyd Thompson, Zone One Chair of the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association and a member of the board of directors with the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association.
CAPRICORN Action is on the horizon, and you put into motion a lot of the ideas that inspire you. Remember, great things often start with a dream.
Weather for the week . . .
AQUARIUS Health concerns or accumulated fatigue may slow you down. One of your loved ones may need you, but make a little time for yourself as well.
PISCES Although you’re also quite a solitary being, the fact remains that you like to be surrounded by loved ones as well. At this time, you feel like widening your social circle.

During the Art and Illusion show held on Friday, May 22, Derek Selinger wow’d the crowd and this young audience helper with his impressive illusions.
Keith Kitchen performs during a fundraising event for two local youth, Breanna Kehler and Grace Smyth, who will be embarking on missionary trips this fall.
The community of Carlyle was entertained on Friday, May 22, as King’s Department Store and Michael’s Coffee Shop and Bakery brought Art and Illusion to Carlyle Memorial Hall. Keith Kitchen, a musician from Swift Current, performed. Kitchen, onstage with just his guitar, filled the hall with his original music. Rounds of applause for his warm voice and inspirational lyrics were both appreciated and enjoyed by those in the audience. Kitchen was not the only one to come to the stage and he happily introduced his friend Derek Selinger from Calgary, AB. Selinger is an internationally renowned illusionist who stunned the crowd with his abilities. From card tricks to pulling coins out of the air Selinger’s act was thoroughly enjoyed. The event was well-attended, which was important as the event was a fundraiser for two local youth, Breanna Kehler and Grace Smyth, who are going on missions following their high school graduation. Asked to the stage Kehler and Smyth spoke about their upcoming missionary work and thanked the community for coming out. Introducing them was Michael Ellis of Michael’s Coffee Shop and Bakery, “These two have grown up in Carlyle their entire lives. Breanna and Grace are embarking on a bit of a journey over these next few months.” “What is it that you’re actually doing with Youth with a Mission and Street Invaders?” Breanna answered first, “This year in September I’m going to be working with Youth with a Mission in Las Vegas, so I’ll be doing three months of training in Las Vegas and then I’ll be going overseas. Our focus with it is to work with victims of human trafficking and hoping to help them out of it or show them that there’s hope.” Grace then explained what her mission will entail, “My trip is a little confusing. For the first two weeks I’m going to be with Street Invaders in the Philippines and we’re going to be doing things like hospital ministry and other ministries as well as a feeding programs in the slums. After that I’m going to Thailand, India, and Nepal to work with women who have been exploited and doing similar things [as Breanna] letting them know there’s hope. Then I’m going to be going back to the Philippines again on my own for a little bit.” A very spiritual Ellis then asked the girls what the community can do for them while they’re gone: “So part of what we’re doing here tonight as a community is being able to come together and share, we’ve loaned a little bit of personal resources to help send you guys, but all finances aside that’s the smallest part of what we need to do for you. When it comes to your day to day needs what is one thing you’d like for us to pray for you?” The girls both answered that safety was important, but that it was also important to meet the people they need to meet while on their missions. “I think safety is an important one,” Kehler said. “Also just for the right people to be placed in front of us and seeing who we’re supposed to talk to.” “Safety for us too, in the Philippines we’ll be working in one of the largest slums in the country and also in the red light district trying to reach out to these girls makes safety important,” Smyth added. As Smyth and Kehler handed the microphone back to Ellis he said, “Not all of us get the opportunity to go and I am very proud of you, that you’re going, and we as a community can act as senders. So, we’ve committed some of our money and now I’m committing us all to praying. Thank you for letting us be part of what you’re doing.” Following the end of the performances by Kitchen and Selinger, the girls returned to the stage to once again thank those in the community for attending the event and to those who were unable to attend, but who have supported them in their efforts over the years. They also expressed gratitude to King’s and Michael’s for sponsoring the event. “We didn’t ask them to help they just decided they wanted to do something for us and we very much appreciate everything,” Kehler said on behalf of Smyth and herself. Although they will not be travelling on their missions together and have chosen different programs to work with, the girls who have been friends since childhood, will now embark on a new path, separate but together as they attempt to make a difference in the world.

Canada’s Celtic Rockers The Mudmen appearing in Arcola May 29 Lynne Bell Observer Staff
Celtic rockers The Mudmen may be the most Canadian band ever, and they’re coming to Arcola’s Buddy’s Pub on May 29 after two shows in Chicago. Led by bagpipe-playing brothers, Sandy and Robby Campbell, the Ontario-based band also includes Anthony Albanese, Jeremy Burton, Mario Bozza, and Steven Gore. Since they formed in 1998, the Mudmen have met and/or shared the stage with a veritable who’s who from the worlds of Canadian music, movies, sports and celebrity. “We’ve been doing the Mudmen thing for about 15 years,” says Campbell. “My brother Rob and I started out as ‘The Campbell Brothers.’ We played with The Irish Rovers and John McDermott. We were signed to EMI Records, and from there, things really seemed to take off.” “We worked with Mirvish Productions in Toronto, and I remember, we were with all of these Canadian icons at the Walk of Fame ceremony-Eugene Levy, Martin Short, Paul Schaeffer, The Guess Who, Gordon Lightfoot, William Shatner, and Gordie Howe, to name a few-on the red carpet in downtown Toronto, and although we were with these people, we were still digging holes by day and sleeping in a factory.” “That’s how we came up with our name. My brother and I did brick work when we were young, and even in Toronto, we were known as two guys who would get the job done. We’d dig a hole with our hands if we had to, to complete the job.” The Campbells’ work ethic extends to the band, as the Mudmen’s full tour schedule includes concert halls, theatres, and smaller venues like Buddy’s Pub. “We tailor our show to the audience and the venue,” says Campbell. “We are categorized as Celitic rock, but we’re also veering into a
more country sound with some songs. When we started, we were more of a party band, but if we’re doing an all-ages show in a 500- seat theatre, we’ll take a look at the audience and try and tailor the show to them.” “We’re doing more shows in theatres,” says Campbell. “And we recently played the Saskatchewan Highland Games in Regina, and we’re heading down to play the Gaelic Park Festival in Chicago for two days, before we head back to play our show in Arcola.” The band are also Grey Cup veterans. “We’ve played four Grey Cups, and we’re playing in Winnipeg this year,” says Campbell. “We’ve played two in Toronto, one in Calgary-which was great.” “And of course, we played at the Brandt Centre in Regina the year the Riders won the Grey Cup. It was a helluva good party.” In addition to playing at Grey Cup, The Mudmen have crossed the continent and in Canada, have played at the Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill twice, and also performed at the Governor General’s Awards in Ottawa, the Canadian Country Music Awards, several Briers, Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium, and Dauphin’s (Manitoba) Country Fest, to name a few. Playing high-profile events also leads to encounters with high-profile people, and Campbell is overwhelmingly positive about The Mudmen’s musical colleagues and other famous people they have met. “The Irish Rovers and John McDermott were fantastic people when we first started out and toured with them. So was John McDermott.” “Johnny Reid is so loved, because he’s a great person. He’s a good talker, a wonderful person, and he always finds time for people,” says Campbell. “I suspect that’s getting more challenging for him to do, as he plays bigger arenas. But I know he still does a meet-andgreets and stuff like that.”
“Celine Dion and Sarah McLachlan are fantastic,” he continues. “At the Walk of Fame, we didn’t expect Celine Dion to come over and talk to us, but she did.” “Both Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman (of Guess Who fame) were great, too.” “Wayne Gretzky gave us a half an hour of his time. He’s a nice guy, and so is Mark Messier. When we did the Hockey Night in Canada anthem, Don Cherry and Ron McLean were really good to us. They’re both great guys, and Ron McLean especially is a nice guy, and he says he’s one of our biggest fans, which is great.” “We played Bob and Doug McKenzie’s anniversary show for the CBC,” adds Campbell. “And we’ve also opened for The Guess Who, Nazareth, Finger Eleven, Bif Naked, Econoline Crush, and David Usher.” One of the group’s high-profile gigs stood out, because of its importance to their mother, who raised two bagpipe-playing boys on a farm about one hour outside London, Ontario. “On Parliament Hill, we played in front of the Queen,” says Campbell. “After when you get to meet her, she shakes your hand, and in that moment, we knew we were going to make our mom proud.” “It’s one of those gigs you play where you know you accomplished something that day,” he laughs. “We love Canada,” says the Ontario native. “But I have to say that Saskatchewan and Alberta are the two provinces that have supported us the best.” “We’ve played a lot in a lot of different places across this country, and small towns have kept us alive throughout our career. Places in Saskatchewan like Grayson, Meecham, Quill Lake, Big River, Wadena, and now Arcola. We’re looking forward to entertaining people there.” The Mudmen perform at Buddy’s Pub in Arcola, Friday, May 29. Tickets are $20 at the door.

Sod turning held after years of hard work in Wawota at the United Church Kelly Running Observer Staff
Caring about each other and wanting everyone to have access to worship is something those at the United Church in Wawota are making a reality. Currently the church has many stairs and is not wheelchair accessible, but that is all about to change. “Much of the congregation is unable to get into the church easily and because of that they’re left out or decide not to come,” Jerri Laird, one of the building committee members, explained. “So that was the start of it.” She stood outside the church on Sunday, May 24, as she spoke about the exciting result of years of effort coalescing in the sod turning and barbeque held that day following service. Present to break ground included Laird, Dale Easton, Shawn Murray, Meredith Swanson, and Bob Birnie of the building committee, Harold Laich was unable to attend but is also part of the building committee, as well as Rev. Roy Bortolotto with the congregation pleased to witness the event. To the amassed crowd on the front lawn, Laird said, “On behalf of the building committee I would like to thank everyone for their support… The idea of the building has been a dream and a commitment of many people for a lot of years, some of them are not here with us anymore, but through perseverance and hard work, dedication you’re seeing this dream become a reality. The building design has changed, but the idea to create a space that is accessible to everyone, where all are welcome, remain.” She also explained that they have raised over $46,000 in the last year and a half for the project which has been fantastic, but that donations have also been essential to bring them to where they are today. This includes people who continue to come forward to assist in constructing the new house of worship. “We’ve had people offer to buy a new fridge for the building and another offered to do the wiring at cost,” Laird said. “Even people that no longer live here have been very generous. People are coming out of the woodwork to help.” The building committee is hoping to break ground next week and are also looking forward to possibly be using the building by September if all goes well. “There’s been a lot of hard work, but we have a lot of dedicated people who have made this a reality,” Laird stated. The new building will be established south of the current sanctuary. The existing sanctuary will be turned into the hall and a new place of worship will be built in the current parking lot. The existing hall will be demolished and this will be turned into the new parking lot. This will move the front of the church from the east side of the building to the south side. Much effort and hard work was put into the building as a community and will soon be able to see the fruits of their labour following the sod turning.

Quote of the Week . . . “Age is a matter of feeling, not of years”
- George William Curtis
Feeling carefree... in footwear
It’s the season for school track and field meets and a time when the parents of these athletes share their spectator weather stories; “Last week I was out here freezing and today I’m getting burned.” What we remember of weather conditions is often associated with the activities or events in which we took part. Two years ago while watchShelley Luedtke ing our daughter play outdoor soccer throughout the month of May we were so cold as we sat huddled under blankets I was reluctant to take out my phone to check NHL playoff updates and expose my hands to the chilly evening air. Farmers are often the storehouse of weatherrelated information. I am fascinated with the details in which they recall weather conditions in particular years, not surprising though when you consider what is at stake for them. I don’t have that archival memory but I can speak to remembrances of early June conditions since the weather would sometimes play a role in my birthday plans growing up. Friends would be invited for outdoor activities, mini-golf or sleepovers in our camping trailer and sometimes it was rain that forced a change of plans, sometimes it was strong winds and other times it was plunging temperatures. One year a planned picnic in the park was brought to a halt by an ice and snow blizzard…on the first of June. But most times we enjoyed running around participating in outside games as we soaked up the sun and more often than not we were barefoot. It’s perhaps fitting then that in some circles June 1 is National Go Barefoot Day. Oh to be carefree, to throw off the shoes and enjoy the unencumbered feeling of going barefoot. As children we’d toss our shoes aside and run and play, unconcerned and perhaps even unaware of the prickles or stones that might be underneath as we took off on our adventures. We delighted in the lushness of the lawn, burying our feet into cocooning sand tunnels or pushing our toes into the dirt made warm by the day’s rays. Oh, to be a child and go barefoot again. Oh, to be a child and go barefoot…always. There are 300 million children worldwide living in extreme poverty. One billion children are living without some of the necessities we consider basic. For them, shoes are not basic. Shoes are a luxury. Shoes are an unachievable dream. There are those who advocate going shoeless; extolling the benefits of bare feet as being natural and healthy. Admittedly I have needed an ice pack a time or two after wearing ill-chosen footwear, but that’s been after a decision favoring style over function. If going without shoes is a choice, in a place where conditions are healthy and safe, that is one thing. But for many who go without shoes this is simply not the case. They are exposed to punctures, wounds, cuts, scrapes and burns. These wounds make them vulnerable to parasites and debilitating infections. There is the danger of lacerations, bites and exposure to contaminated soil and open sewer trenches. Those who hunt for food or sellable items in garbage heaps risk disease and injury from dirty, sharp or infected refuse.
The
Additionally, the lack of shoes can mean a closed door to an education. Since a uniform and shoes are a requirement for entrance into many schools, it is not the lack of ambition, desire or motivation but simply the lack of a pair of shoes that limits the potential to learn. “Go Barefoot Day” can help us reconnect to

Seeing things differently . . .
Treasure summer: Why year-round school shouldn’t fly in Canada Lynne Bell Observer Staff
The traditional school calendar is rooted in, well... tradition. The months- long summer break was implemented with an agrarian society in mind, where children’s labour was needed in an agriculture-based economy to help their parents plant and harvest on the family farm. Although this isn’t a strict necessity anymore-even in places within Canada where agriculture still predominates-a long summer break for school kids in this country still has a lot to recommend it. The reasons are many-parents with kids in different grades and different schools face a potential scheduling nightmare with the yearround school model. And although childcare is always a concern, during summer, a high school student can often pick up the slack if a regular sitter is on holiday. Students who need and/ or want to work for an extended period in the summer-or take more classes-would be prevented from doing so without the traditional lengthy summer break. Teachers, too, often take classes in the summer or even have summer jobs of their own. However, for me, the most compelling argument in favour of a two-month long summer break for school kids is this: the dreaded Canadian winter. You’re only young once, winter is long, summer is short, and kids have a lifetime ahead of them to work and study and get down to the serious business of life. As I write this, we have just enjoyed the first full weekend of beautiful, sunny weather. Cabins were opened up, seasonal visitors and locals alike were enjoying the parks, and although the pool isn’t open yet and the lakes may still be a bit on the bracing side for a swim, golfers, boaters, and campers were out, finally enjoying something resembling summer. Even travel is easier in summertime, without the uncertainty of all kinds of snow, ice, and temperature-related events casting uncertainty over trip plans, whether we hapless Canucks are driving or flying. Instead, predictable, temperate weather (even with thunderstorms and hail) makes summer travel a breeze in comparison to even the most straightforward of winter journeys. Of course, this also means we’re the visitor or the visited, or both, which can also make summer a hectic time. This, I would argue, is all the more reason to treasure summer. There are many practical, well-thought out arguments (which you will see in Kelly’s column) which are valid in our fast-paced, uncertain, and fragmented economy. Although many families are able to take memorable family vacations, far from home; many aren’t able to swing it. However, summer gives us all a chance to enjoy the longer days, the warm weather, the dramatic thunder and lightning storms, and each other. Summer moments and memories can be made, no matter how busy one is. Let’s let our kids continue to have the chance to treasure summer, too.
The benefits of year round schooling Kelly Running Observer Staff
Since the dawn of time… well, not really, but for many years school systems have promoted a version of an education system based on going to school from September to June with July and August free from the usual grind. Is there a way for this system to become even more effective and conducive to our society today? The answer is yes. Switching from our current system to a system of year-round schooling not only fosters learning, prepares youth for the future, and combats burnout. A year-round schedule will allow students to continually use the skills they are being taught and will therefore be less likely to forget it over the summer break. Students often avoid anything school-like in the summer currently, so even reading is passed off for a different activity. However, smaller breaks in multitude spaced out over the year would be more conducive to learning and students keeping up with what they’re taught. In Saskatchewan, after school, we have three weeks of holidays, other provinces work it differently, but when students finish school they are often met with the shock of working year-round. When they don’t get two months off in the summer, it’s difficult to remain motivated when fresh out of school. Frequent breaks throughout the year, a week or two at a time, separated by a couple months of school would allow students and
Through the Lens By Moose Mountain Photography Club
teachers to both relax and recharge more frequently throughout the year. Currently students and teachers can feel burnt out, will become ill, or exhausted. It’s a demanding schedule that allows for no room to recuperate during times when it’s needed. Last year the school division, who offered options of schedules to schools, included one where local schools eliminated the February break, I think it might be back now. However, at the same time that the school division made this as one of the proposed schedules, universities were figuring out a way to put in a break in November. Thus stressed students, after preparing and finishing midterms would be given a week cushion before having to delve into the second part of the semester. In Lethbridge the break in February was called, “February Break,” and there were no slang terms the students used, or at least no students that I came into contact with. However, my friend in Saskatoon discovered that students in her classes called it “Suicide Week.” It was a time where stress was at its max and the week off was necessary to catch up with homework and to reduce the load of stress. So a longer school year with more of these weeks off would be beneficial to reduce stress in both teachers and students, which ultimately will produce a more productive student.

The Southeast Vipers Volleyball Club concluded their season with 18U nationals held in Calgary, AB, at the BMO Centre. Although some of our 18U team were unable to attend we still took a large team having pulled up some of the 15U girls to take part in the competition. Attending nationals were Hailey Bachorcik, Shelby Rose, Shoni Peepeetch, Jordan Johnston, Kayla Nelson, Katy McEwen, and Marcedes
Singleton of the 18U team. They were joined by McKenna Harkness, Katelyn Hutt, Sadie Fichter, Hailee Fleck, and Ashleigh Wolensky of the 15U team. Together they took on competition including teams from Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and the North West Territories from Sunday, May 17, to Tuesday, May 19. Though the girls fought hard and had some good battles they were unable to capitalize on their performance with nerves being a very real
factor. Within the BMO centre they played in an area with 28 volleyball courts set up. The area was loud and intimidating, but the girls managed to have fun and take in the experience of such an event. It’s been a busy season and the club is now finished until this winter. The club would like to thank everyone who has supported them this season and is thankful for the dedication of players and parents to the year.

Sports wrap-up with Bruce Penton Triple Crown this year? Finally? Here we go again, racing fans. Even casual followers of horse racing perk up their ears when a three-year-old is chasing the elusive Triple Crown, but we’ve become so accustomed to failure that it’s hard to get overly excited anymore. This year’s candidate for horse racing’s jewel is American Pharoah, whose second name might be misspelled but everything else about the thoroughbred has been nothing but perfection. He ran away with the Kentucky Derby in May. Two weeks later, on a muddy track in Baltimore, he was a wire-to-wire winner at the Preakness. This Saturday, at Belmont Park in New York, American Pharoah tries to win the 1.5-mile Belmont Stakes and become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978. Affirmed’s Triple Crown hardly caused a ripple. It certainly wasn’t a stunning development as Pharoah’s win might be on Saturday. In the 1970s, three horses won all three jewels of the Triple Crown — the mighty Secretariat in 1973, Seattle Slew in 1977, then Affirmed the next year. Three TC winners in six years. Ho hum. Since then, a whopping 14 horses have started the Belmont Stakes with a Triple Crown in sight, and all have come up short. Last year, it was California Chrome. In 2012, it was I’ll Have Another. Big Brown in 2008, Smarty Jones in 2004,, Funny Cide in 2003 and War Emblem in ’02. So why are these great horses coming up short in the Belmont? Could be its length, because at 1.5 miles, it’s the longest of the three races. It might also be because, as California Chrome owner Steve Coburn complained last year, a number of owners
in r! t i Say g colou livin
are keeping their horses out of the Preakness in order to be better rested for the Belmont. A horse with wins at the Derby and Preakness, of course, is going to be a little worn down when three demanding races are held within a five-week period. Owners of those horses who skipped either the Derby or Preakness — or both — in order to be fresh for the Belmont “took the coward’s way out,” said Coburn, who later apologized for his rant. American Pharoah looks like the real thing and this could be the year that the 14-horse streak of two wins and then an ‘oops’ is swept aside. But we’ve heard that before. In fact, we’ve heard it 14 times since 1978. Not until the track announcer belts out “And down the stretch they come . . .! “ this Saturday will we have a clearer picture. • A limerick from RJ Currie of sportsdeke. com: “ There was a QB named Tom Brady, Suspected of something quite shady; He let air out of balls, And then swore to us all He knew nothing of things deflatey.” • Comedy writer Jim Barach: “A planned bridge from Detroit to Windsor will reportedly be named after hockey great Gordie Howe. Anyone who tries to get past the tollbooth without paying will be assessed a five minute major.” • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “History will be made when the new span connecting Detroit to Windsor, Ontario, is named in honour of hockey great Gordie Howe.

Cornerstone Family and Youth

“Unofficially, I call us the gap-fillers,” says Jenn Sedor, program coordinator for Cornerstone Family and Youth in Carlyle. “We try to provide programming in areas that aren’t being utilized for families. Among the programs we offer are babysitting courses, safety courses, our dropin playroom program, and camps. We go out and actively look for niches to fill.” Participants can borrow reading activity backpacks for kids (pictured) and parents can borrow cookbooks and other books pertaining to parenting.

CYC Early Childhood Coordinator Brigette Carley says CYC’s twice-weekly drop-in playroom program is a hit with parents and kids. The program finishes at the end of May, but will resume in September. “The children start with some free play, and then we have a story, some songs, a craft and a snack. We encourage families with children up to the age of five to join us in the fall.”
Cornerstone Family and Youth is a non-profit, charitable organization that offers positive educational and recreational programs and activities for childre, youth, young adults, and their families within Carlyle and the surrounding area. Here, children up to five years old and their parents enjoy the twice-weekly Playroom Program, held at CFY’s location in the Carlyle Civic Centre.

Cornerstone Family and Youth’s drop-in playroom program currently serves children up to age five. Kids and their caregivers are welcome to drop in twice a week. “We’re currently serving families from Arcola, Carlyle, and Manor,” says CYC program coordinator, Jenn Sedor. “But the playroom program is free of charge and open to anyone on a drop-in basis. It finishes at the end of May, but we’ll be back in September.” Cornerstone Family and Youth’s playroom program ends for the summer season in May, and resumes in September. Parents or caregivers with children up to the age of five are welcome to attend the twice-weekly program, free of charge. The program is designed to be fun and enriching for the children, and to provide a break and a social outlet for their parents, according to CFY’s Brigette Carley.
Although Cornerstone Family and youth’s Playroom Program finishes at the end of May (and resumes in September), CYC program coordinator Jenn Sedor says the organization has plenty planned for this summer. “We’re holding our CFY Carnival from 4:308p.m. On Friday, June 19 as part of Boogie Fest. We’re also holding our CFY Summer Club. We can be reached at our office in the Carlyle Civic Centre, or by calling 453-2666.” Check out www.cfyprograms.com Staff photo by Lynne Bell

Alida News
Maryfield Sunrise Villa News
Submitted by Edel Cowan
Chad and Samantha Peet welcomed their second son, Lincoln Robert to their family on May 15, 2015. Hudson is the very proud big brother and proud grandparents are Brian and Margaret Peet (Alida) and Bryan and Lori Hull (Preecville) and great-grandparents are Bob and Joyce Peet (Weyburn). Congratulations to everyone. Ed and Geraldine Gervais (High River, AB) were in the area on May 20 renewing acquaintances at Alida, as they were now enroute home from attending a funeral for Ed’s brother-in-law’s in Manitoba. Derek, Paige Farr and daughters Ella and Bailey (Gull Lake) were visiting with Roy and Bonnie Farr over the long weekend. Murray and Adam Cowan spent the weekend (May 22-24) visiting at the Cowan farm with Gray, Edel, Tim, Shelly and Ainsley Cowan and while here also helped with some of the seeding operation. Word was received that Joe Oleksow of Red Deer, AB had passed away May 22, 2015. The Oleksow family had lived at the Esso camp in Alida from 1955-1964. Joe worked for Esso Oil, helped organize the Alida Boy Scouts and both he and his wife Ruth were avid curlers. The Alida community extends their sympathies to the Oleksow family. Word was also received that Ian Thompson (Alameda) had passed away suddenly May 23, 2015. The Thompson family were involved with the Alida & Area 4-H Club for a number of years and his son Brock lived in the Alida area for a couple of years. Sincere sympathy is extended to Brock and Garett (Strothoaks) and of course to all other family members as well. Glennis Peterson is very pleased and proud to welcome her first great-grandson, Jaxsen Cane on May 23, 2015. He is the son of Eric and Courtney (McDonald) George of Lang, SK. The proud grandparents are Mark/ Myrna George (Lintlaw, SK) and Lyle/Donna McDonald (Lang) and great-grandparents are Alex and Francis George (Kalvington, SK). Congratulations to everyone. Seeding is moving right along even if there
is a lot of hit and misses in the fields. Now comes the big decision of what to do with the fields that one can hardly get to or on – do you try to find a way or do you forget about them and maybe try to summer-fallow/ chem-fallow later when possibly things will dry up more (hopefully). One has to think that if the situation is like this now – what will it be like come harvest time – another season of dodging wet spots?? Oh joy! I’ve finally got my garden worked up, planted and now if it would rain (just on my garden), of course only when guys are all done seeding, then a nice light three day rain would be great. Nothing like putting in a wish list – is there? Now I must finish getting the flower pots and beds done with transplanting the bedding plants. Grandson was here this weekend and has my lawn looking very spiffy, boy it keeps one busy with the mower now. I do love seeing the sun shining so brightly even if it also brings out the mosquitoes especially in the evenings and of course can’t forget those (blinkity blankity) wood-ticks. Gosh are they a PAIN – I do believe that we pick off a dozen a day on each of us if we’re out and about in the yard. Oh I guess one has to have something to complain about – but these critters do get my dander up. Don’t forget to get your slow-pitch team entered for the Alida Sports Day and while you’re at it – how about entering a team for the Amazing Bed Race – the deadline for both is approaching fast.

One more thing Alida folks – don’t forget about the flower pots on Centre Street – there’s still a few that need a sponsor, stop at the Post Office and let Linda know that you’d be happy to have pot – Let’s beautify Alida. Do remember to call (306-443-2496) me or e-mail (g.cowan@ sasktel.net) with your news, appreciate your help and hearing from you.

– Working to improve the health care system Sun Country Health Region is embarking on another year of strategies to improve the health care system on which you rely. The 2015-16 ¿scal year will be one of retrenchment; completing or sustaining very necessary practices that we were unable to satisfactorily conclude last year, and working closely with the Ministry of Health and other health regions in the province to ensure the Saskatchewan Health Care Management system is working “as one.” The four projects chosen this year are: Stop Stă Injuries (Zero Injuries by 2020); Stop the Line Safety Alert System; Appropriate Use of Antibiotics, and Hand Hygiene to Stop Infections. The ¿rst one is very ambitious but challenging to implement. In SCHR, we want a workplace culture that is fully committed to preventing and reducing workplace injuries. We do not want our employees injured at work. We want them where we need them to provide services. The second project is related but refers to stopping any action or behavior that might have the potential to cause an injury to either a patient or employee. To reach that goal, we need a workplace where patients and stă feel comfortable speaking up when they see something that is hazardous. The third project refers to the use of antibiotics. The SCHR team, including doctors, stă and patients, want to ensure that antibiotics are used appropriately, that health care personnel and patients understand when antibiotics should be prescribed and why, thus reducing antimicrobial resistance. The fourth project, hand hygiene to stop infections, is being replicated across the Region. The correct hand-washing process and environmental cleaning methods need to be sustained. A plan was developed to include su̇cient trainers, a standard process for trainers, improved reporting methods, and better tools for auditing and consistent visual management. During the course of our busy work days, the tendency is to not meet expectations 100 per cent of the time. This year, we will do better. All four projects are intended to ensure we provide top quality care for the patients/residents/ clients we serve in our facilities and programs. We also have a responsibility to work with the provincial health system to provide better care in all facilities, including urban emergency departments where people are waiting long hours for care and admission. We do our part to improved patient Àow by bringing SCHR residents back to recuperate in their home communities after receiving health care in Regina or Saskatoon. The sooner we accept our residents home with home care, or to one of our facilities, the sooner more of those beds in the larger centres will be available for new patients. Those strategies provide us with direction and plans for the new ¿scal year. We will devote time and resources to achieve our goals.

Kennedy/Langbank News Submitted by Doreen Cancade This is the season to enjoy planting, cleaning, relaxing - one has a choice. Belated greetings to Maria Johnston on her birthday---I hear she looked very young, had a nice celebration, told her stories and was able to do a little danceóyes, I remember the days when she and her husband taught a
number of people to dance-fortunately she has danced much longer then some of themówhat a great life to have had and still enjoying it. May 15th to May 17th were busy days for Florence Cummins. She celebrated her 95th birthday (actual day May 30th) with many friends and relatives. Friday evening a meet-greet
and eat evening was held at the home of Rosaline Cummins (Kipling). There were about 25 relatives attending. Saturday kicked off with a brunch held in the Kennedy Community hall. Total attendance approximately 150 persons. The relatives then gathered at Club 19 for a catered supper (very good). Relatives
from BC, Alberta, SK, Manitoba, California, and Australia. Sunday was out to the farm south of Kennedy for lunch, everyone enjoyed another great supper at Kenosee Inn. (Everyone enjoyed the scenery, weather and hospitality). Monday morning there were about 20 relatives left and they returned home.

Everyone arrived back to their destinations, happy that they were able to celebrate with Florence. The family thank everyone who helped and participated in the weekend of festivities. Murray, Karin and Yvonne Bertalon attended the grade 12 graduation for Bradley Green at Lampman
this past weekend. (Bradley is the second son graduating from the Jason and Cindy Green household). Congratulations Brad. Saturday, June 23rd was an exciting day for Lanny and Jean Sostorics when they were presented with a granddaughter ,Grace, proud parents Colleen and Ken Rumsey of Regina. The old time dance held in Kennedy June 20th was enjoyed by a great crowd, some dancing and some listening to the music, there will another evening of fun on June 20th. In the last report of the Kennedy bingo I missed mentioning that Violet Daku was a winner, sorry about that, by the time you get this news, we will have had another bingo, therefore look forward to reading the winners. Cathy Dermody of Regina choose to come for a visit to the cemetery of her families on Saturday afternoon, I had the privilege of meeting her, she also picked up a window that was originally in the Dermody house many years ago a lovely looking piece of work, Margaret Debenham was able to get it from the last owners of the house.(Cathy is looking forward to restoring this keepsake.) Sunday, George and I accompanied by Carrie Stephen of Saskatoon visited with Fred and Theresa (a sister to George) Terry, residents at Queen Victoria Estates, I had the privilege of renewing an acquaintance with Dorothy Brady who is also a resident at the Estates and lived in Carlyle for many years - (took us back a few years) she is very happy which is great to see. Cancade, West family members attended the dance recital in Regina on Sunday when Brandy and Collin McMaster’s daughters Baley and Keeley took part, great grandma had the privilege of enjoying the little girls, relatives on the Rumsey family were also in attendance, everyone enjoyed a barbeque at the McMaster home. The Kennedy hall board called a meeting for Thursday, May 21st. Only four members were in attendance Danielle Bourhis - president, Deb.

Wawota News Submitted by Myrna Olson
Sympathy to Al and Lucy Chubak and family on the passing of Al’s father, Dymetro (Mac) Chubak. He passed away in Prince Albert at the age of 95 years. Al and Lucy attended his funeral on May 15. On their way home they attended their granddaughter Caitlyn’s baptism in Regina at Holy Rosary Cathedral . Bailey Pryce and Mandy Mowbray flew to Kelowna recently. Bailey spent several days visiting with her friend, Melodye Bryant. Congratulations to Jake and Kayla Porter on the birth of their daughter, Whitley Margaret. She was born on May 15 and weighed 5 lbs 11 oz. Cheri Mansfield and family and Victoria Weatherald enjoyed a holiday to Florida recently. They arrived home on Saturday May 23. A bridal shower was held on May 23 at the Wawota Drop In Centre to honour Rianne Wight. She and Zach Watson will be married on July 18. Shirley Corkish
attended a museum meeting in Regina on Friday, May 22nd. The Wawota Acting Company met recently to plan what to spent their money that they raised from their plays. They raised over $1620.00 for World Vision. This money will be spent on providing clean water, a gift of goats, hens and a rooster, immunization, mosquito nets, feeding school children and stocking 3 medical clinics. On May 15 three of the players from the southern division of the Moosomin Generals Football team travelled to Winnipeg. This was the site of the north versus the south. where the northern all-stars won over the southern all-stars 22-14. Jack Easton, Brandon Benner and Dustin Schill were these three players who had been named to the southern all-star team at the wind up banquet held in Dauphin last year. These three have also taken on the task of coaching the 10 and under ball team this year.
Other local athletes who have won honors recently are, Karlie Jackson, Dustin Schill and Devon Stewart who have won the honour of participating in the Provincial High School Badminton Championships in Moose Jaw. Devon will be competing in the boy’s single category and Karlie and Dustin will compete in the mixed doubles. And then there is the inspiring story of the Environmental Science 10 class! This group of students were concerned that 50% of the waste at school was paper and much lumber and many gallons of water were used to produce this paper. They spent 2 months talking to Regens, the Town Council, SE Cornerstone School Division and the SCC. When they realized there wasn’t any one to help cover the cost of recycling the paper waste they put on a soup and sandwich fund raising at the school. By the large crowd who supported this endeavour I would guess they raised the needed funding!!

Kenosee Lake News Submitted by Barbara Haddow
Our final week in May and here comes the month of June. One of the prettiest months of the year. William Sinclair made a positive comment on Facebook concerning his treatments in Regina, “Last treatment today (Thursday, May 21, 2015) …. Ready for recovery period of 6-8 weeks then surgery in Saskatoon!” In the meantime the Moose Mountain Lions Club got together and united the whole of the park, the village and the surrounding areas for a rather gala event aka “Fund Raiser” for upcoming expenses Sinclair will encounter. Sunday, May 24, there was a Fund Raiser in the Moose Mountain Provincial Park in the Park Hall for William Sinclair hosted by the Moose Mountain Lions Club members. Everywhere you looked there were Lions Club members doing something for the fundraiser. Kudos to all the Lions and other helpers barbequing ham-
burgers, preparing the meal and the cleanup during and after the meal. There was even music from above as six people got on stage and played some wonderful music – it was awe inspiring - Cheryl Dubois, Michele Amy, Heather McMillan, David McMillan, Charlie Easton, and Jim Cairns did the honors! Great music! One knows they love their music. The after-
noon was a blast with new and older friends gathered together for a meal and a cause. Then a truly glowing William Sinclair arrived with his smile even as he faces new challenges in his life with courage and faith. A true inspiration he is to everyone knowing him as well as his family. Reminds me of the poem, Invictus by William Ernest Henley:

to remind myself that mobility challenges mean that I’ll never be able to whiz around the oval in the way that I see young people run; learning how to get out of their way, given the number of times they pass me in any given lap, is a major accomplishment. One of the things I find most encouraging in my almost-daily trek is the diversity of walkers: there are children; high school students practicing for track competitions; young adults and older folk. Like me, some use canes or walkers but in contrast, some adults whose heads are adorned with snow white hair are like the neighbour swift as deer. The most important thing, though, is that we’re all going at our own pace, all doing our best. I love what the writer of the book of Hebrews said: “Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands… let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us.” (Hebrews 12:1-3) God’s assignment. Our best. His smile!

Trade agreements with the United States: COOL is so not cool By Calvin Daniels The idea of trade agreements opening doors to free trade between nations is a good one. But ink on a document does not mean a relationship is a smooth one. Canada and the United States have been major trading partners from the earliest days of the two countries based on location alone. They have also been signatories to various deals, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, designed to formalize the relationship and smooth relations. The deals help, to a point. But any agreement is only as good as the desire of signatories to honour not such the fine print of the deal, but to live by the intent of the document. That however is something the United States tends not to do. They often talk about being a country of commerce and trade, but they spend millions and millions looking for loop holes in trade deals. Through the years Canada has been forced into court over a wide range of trade arguments, including soft wood lumber, to pork and live hogs and beef. One of the most recent instances has revolved around the United States wanting to implement Country of Origin Labelling (COOL).
Pause for Reflection
The idea on its surface makes sense from a domestic producer and consumer perspective. It’s understandable producers would like consumers to support them by buying domestic foods. In Canada, as an example, sheep producers have long lamented New Zealand lamb arriving in this country, often at lower than local cost of production prices, and thus impacting Canadian lamb sales. We also saw the importance of the idea of consumers purchasing a Canadian product when the country rallied to eat through the surplus of beef after Canadian beef exports were stopped after the first case of BSE. There is even the consumer-driven idea of buying food from within a 100 kilometres of home as a way to hold added control over what we eat, because it builds relationships directly with local area producers. But labelling gets to be a dicey situation when you start dealing with what the country of origin is. What country of origin is a calf born in Canada, exported south at 500-pounds, finished, processed and sold in the U.S.? The calf originated here, but the beef is more correctly American sourced. In addition to the vagaries of what constitutes country of origin are trade deals which are sup-
posed to offer fair access, and labelling which works to give domestic product an edge runs counter to many deals. Canada and Mexico saw it that way, and they have fought the United States for nearly a decade on COOL. The World Trade Organization has ruled against COOL before, and recently did so again, a decision which exhausts the appeals open to the U.S. Canada is not in a position to place tariffs on U.S. imports in retaliation for the economic harm done to Canadian cattle and pork because of the mandatory COOL laws. The long fight has cost millions in court fees, and millions more in losses to Canadian producers because of COOL. It is money which will not be recovered, even as U.S. producers would have seen better returns because of the unfair advantage COOL was shown to provide. The circumstances once again suggest the idea of unfettered trade is something to be talked about as an ideal, but is an idea in practice only accepted if a local advantage is seen to exist. It is something to be remembered whenever a new trade deal is being negotiated, never are they as golden as they seem.
“Unless Yahweh builds the house, they labour in vain who build it” (Psalm 127:1). St Paul instructs us: “Build on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit” (Ephesians 2:20-22). In other words, look to the church established by Christ: “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church” (Matthew 16:18). Jesus tells us to build like the man “who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who hears [the words of Jesus] and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great” (Luke 6:4649). The Lord challenges us to serve in humility and sin-
cerity: “‘what is the house that you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest? All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be,’ declares the Lord. ‘But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word’” (Isaiah 66:1-2). Again, in scripture we hear God’s challenge: “if you listen to all that I command you and walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight by observing My statutes and My commandments, as My servant David did, then I will be with you and build you an enduring house as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you” (1 Kings 11:38). The world may reject us for the life we live as Christians, but we are precious in God’s eyes: “And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God, you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 2:4-5). So build that spiritual dwelling and make it eternal in the heavens. 2 Corinthians 5:1 says: “For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”
By Ken Rolheiser www.kenrolheiser.com
What house shall I build you
Dick and Harry (I gave Tom a rest) are building a house when Dick sees Harry going through a bag of nails. He checks each nail. Throws some of them away and puts the others in a box. “What are you doing?” Harry replies, “They’re pointed at the wrong end.” “Don’t be silly,” says Dick. “We can use them on the other side of the house.” In building our earthly homes there is much amiss. The average home in ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags” /Vancouver is 1.27 million. That’s in dollars. Everyone wants to have a home on this earth; then in retirement they downsize to condos or apartments. We all have plans. When it comes to building our spiritual home for the soul, are we much wiser than Dick and Harry? Do we recognize the tools we need to construct that house of heaven?

Obituary Chadwick (Chad) John Dumaine Chad was born April 5, 1962 to Aime and Loraine Dumaine. He is the second eldest of six sons. Chad is survived by his children, Preston Lorann and Chandler Toms; his loving parents, Aime and Loraine and his ¿ve brothers and their families, Jeff and Janice, Chance, Ashton, and Kristin; Marc, Suzanne and Brett; Cal and Shauna, Cody Braden, and Barrett; Garry and Monique, Celeste, Travis, Trevor, Jacob, and Josee; Trent and Tiffany, Chloe and Emma. Chad is also survived by numerous aunt, uncles, cousins and countless friends. He was predeceased by his grandparents, two aunts and close friend and uncle Rene (Maverick). Following is the eulogy his daughter Preston read at the funeral service. My dad Chadwick John Dumaine was born on April 5, 1962 in Redvers, Sk to Aime and Loraine Dumaine. He was the second eldest son of six boys, Jeff, Chad, Marc, Cal, Garry and Trent were raised on a farm north of Storthoaks where they helped Grandma and Grandpa haul bails, move cattle, feed pigs, chickens, and cows, ¿x fence and stack the bails, dad particularly enjoyed this as he was very strong. Growing up dad enjoyed playing hockey, there was enough Dumaine brothers to make up their own team. Dad was a great hockey player, smooth on the ice as others would say. Dad was always known for being tough, and one that not many would mess with. As tough as my dad was, nobody had as many friends as he did. Growing up, one of dad?s passions was looking under rocks. He was always looking under stones for worms and bugs while Jeff busy putting snakes around Grandma's neck, while she was busy weeding the garden. Dad also enjoyed playing in the sandbox, until he was 14 (Ha! Ha!). He enjoyed it so much, that whenever work was to be done, everyone knew where to ¿nd him; the sandbox. Another Passion of dad's was "all-star wrestling". His famous move was "the claw". As most of you can all guess, dad never quit until he had beaten everyone in the room. Dad then moved on from "all-star wrestling" to arm wrestling, where as he stands undefeated in his left arm. As dad grew up, his love for music Àourished. He got this passion for music from his dad. I remember countless Dumaine gatherings where Grandpa and dad would play the accordion and sing, entertaining us all night. Chad Smokem Live began with an accordion back when dad worked for the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool. He bought his ¿rst guitar, and started ¿lling local pubs and campgrounds all over the prairies. Wherever Chad Smokem Live was playing there was sure to be a full house full of fans. My love for music stemmed from, singing along with dad on his karaoke machine in our living room for many years. As Chandler and I grew up, we have gained the title "Smokem Jr" as we tend to follow in our dad?s footsteps and performing when going out with our friends (Ha! Ha!). Dad was well known and liked by everyone he met, even the odd hitcher. Dad met many great friends while building elevators for Saskatchewan Wheat Pool for 15 years. From there he entered the oil patch working 25 years for Ensign Drilling, making many lifelong friends. Dad knew how to work the system on the rigs, when he wanted time off, he knew to just take off his hard hat. During road bands, dad enjoyed sun tanning; also known as shingling. Dad was famous for roo¿ng in daisy duke shorts, burning his body like a red tomato. My dad was a social man, who loved a competitive card or crib game, with anyone who would play with him. His favorite past time was stealing money from his brothers, uncles, nieces and nephews during family "¿re" nights. Uncle Maverick and dad played cards on a daily basis, which usually ended up in a heated argument, I'm sure they're up there continuing this tradition. Oh and just a reminder; dad is a Habs fan. Jeff seems to think dad was tortured into this! To wrap this up I just want to say how honoured I am to look around today and see all of you people, my dad's "fans" here to celebrate his life, he was truly such an amazing man and would be incredibly humbled to see all of you here today, for him. My dad sent me a message in June 2013, that I have saved on my phone for nearly two years, the message reads "Thank you my baby, I love you soooo much, and if tomorrow never comes, you will know I love you and I will always be there in the sky and rain and the sounds of thunder will be singing in heaven if tomorrow never comes. Mwah, Daddy."Over the past week I've heard the saying "I'm sorry for your loss" countless times. I took it upon myself to look up the true de¿nition of loss. Loss; "the harm caused by losing something or someone, no longer had or kept, no longer to be found, no longer visible." The truth is though, I didn't lose him. I see him around me in the sky, clouds, and the rain, I hear him singing through the thunder, I see him Àying like the hawks in the sky. I see him every time I look at my ¿ve strong, compassionate uncles, and I see him every time I look at my strong, brave baby brother. My dad is all around us, I can feel him in my soul. I can feel him hug me and say, "Oh Pressy relax" every time I start to get worked up. I can hear him singing every time I turn of my radio. He lives all around us, and we just have to choose to see him. I look in the mirror, and I look deep into my own eyes, and I know I can see my dad staring back at me, because he will always live on forever in my heart and soul. Thank you Our family wants to thank everyone that has supported us sine Chad's tragic accident. To those who bought food, Àowers & gifts, for the visits, phone calls & messages sent to us. Thank you to Halls Funeral Home, Father Melchor Samonte, Murray Aulie, P.A. Meats, St. Anthony's CWL & Tianna Martin for your special touches that made the service and lunch so personal and special. Words cannot express how grateful we are for our family and friends, and how thankful we are for the small communities that help us get through these tough times. God bless you. The Dumaine Family
