Usually the Carlyle Fire and Rescue volunteers work in unison, organized and precise, to save lives and fight fires, but on Saturday, June 6, they took these skills to the Carlyle Sports Arena where they held their first annual Lobster Fest Fundraiser. In a sold out event, 160 people attended to support the local fire department and enjoy a delicious menu, with people already asking to buy a table for next year’s event. “We work as a well oiled machine and strive to be the best of the best,” Trent Lee, Carlyle Fire and Rescue’s Fire Chief, explained. “We won’t do anything unless we do it professionally.” The doors opened at 5:30 p.m. with supper served at 6:30, which was then followed by the auction. Dave Powell of Regina, a Certified Chef de Cuisine, was in charge of cooking the fresh lobster, who is also the father-in-law to Lee.
On the menu were mussels to start, followed by clam chowder and Caesar salad, coleslaw and potato salad were also on the menu with carrot cake for dessert. The piece de resistance, however, was the fresh lobster which was flown in from Nova Scotia the day before, which was done to perfection by the chef. After a short demonstration of how to dine on a full lobster, the amassed crowd began on their delicious meal. Although Lee was unsure how much was raised at the time the paper went to press he did say, “It was definitely successful. I think it would be around $10,000, but I don’t know yet for sure.” There were approximately 20 silent auction items and four live auction items, which all went over well. “This is a fantastic community with wonderful businesses that support and help the community grow,” Lee stated. The fundraiser was held as a way for the Fire
Department to raise money for a new training facility, which has been a project that has been looked at for a few years now and is something that Lee sees a need for in the community. “We have about 20 firefighters right now,” Lee explained. “We were down to 10, but picked up a couple new guys.” Although it’s good to have new guys on the department this is where training gets tricky for them Lee says. “Without a facility to train them in it gets difficult,” he explained. “They all need their basic firefighter which is about a 200 hour course. That doesn’t give them leadership training or any specialized training, it’s just the introduction. All the guys need hands on training.”

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: LIBRA, SCORPIO AND SAGITTARIUS.
Week of June 14 to 20, 2015 ARIES You don’t often show your emotions; however, the mere fact of talking can be very liberating and lets you be able to get rid of a fair bit of stress.
TAURUS Take the time to check all your bills. You might find a mistake in the calculations, which allows you to save a lot of money and negotiate better services.
GEMINI You won’t find it easy to satisfy everyone, even if you have lots of ideas and initiatives to suggest. You have to be decisive in order to move forward more effectively.
CANCER You may need a second cup of coffee at times in order to be able to concentrate sufficiently and finish everything that you have to do.
LEO Stress seems to infiltrate your week. It’s just one more reason to take a break and make an appointment with a massage therapist or alternative therapies clinic.
Lee said that they used to do live burns on old farm houses that people wanted to get rid of, but that they haven’t seen one of those in four or five years. Currently they do as much ground training as possible but without more hands on training for the volunteers to become as knowledgeable as possible it’s difficult. “We don’t really have an opportunity to practice,” Lee continued. “We have a 50 foot ladder, but no body’s going to let us put it up against their house to train because there will be some damage to the eaves troughs because it hasn’t been trained. We do have them put on the self contained breathing apparatus and get comfortable with wearing a respirator, but without live burns they can’t really be completely ready.” This issue Lee says isn’t one that is just Carlyle specific either. As the President of the Saskatchewan Association of Fire Chiefs, Lee has attended numerous conferences and information meetings as a representative from Saskatchewan. What became obvious was that the issue of training is one that transcends through the majority of volunteer fire departments. “This is not only a Carlyle problem, it’s a Saskatchewan problem and a Canadian problem,” Lee stated. For this reason Lee continued, “There’s potential there to take this and run with it. We don’t need a high class or fancy facility, but we need to make training available to our fire department and we could make it available to the entire province.” To have a fire school in Carlyle would also benefit the community Lee explained as it would draw in firefighters from across the province to train here. This would bring people into the community to stay at the local hotels and to eat at local restaurants. As for the facility for the Carlyle volunteers, Lee said, “It can be difficult to get volunteers to give up a weekend, which can make getting all the training they need almost impossible. If we have the facility here we could go there after work every other week for a couple hours and our training would become more efficient and effective, which would bring us up to the recognized standard.” Lee encourages people to support their local fire
departments because, “sadly fire service struggles until something bad happens and people realize it’s an essential service.” “It’s up to the tax payers to tell their councils what they want. Do people just want basic service, a fire department that shows up and can only spray the house down from the outside and contain the fire, keep it from spreading, or do they want a fire department that can show up and possibly save someone inside, that can do interior/structural, high angle, water rescues, hazardous goods response. It’s up to the tax payer what services they want.” For Lee, he wants the best for the community: “Me personally, I like doing things as best as they can be done. It does take financial support to do that, but fire services are about protecting people’s lives and property. Without proper training it’s difficult to do.” Training is something that is ever changing as well. Lee described two situations regarding a 25-yearold house and a new house when fighting fires. The 25-year-old house would take between 45 and 60 minutes to reach its flash point (the lowest temperature which a material can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in the air). In new homes it’s considerably shorter – taking less than three minutes at to reach the flash point. “If they’re not trained in what they need to watch for or expect, such as watching smoke conditions, bad things are going to happen, which is why it’s essential to train properly; to experience these conditions in a safe atmosphere,” Lee explained. With Occupational Health and Safety standards to follow and the importance of keeping his fire fighters safe, Lee finds it important to make sure they are as educated as possible, which is why he has been a huge supporter of fundraising for the department. “We can’t just get away with the basics, we need people trained properly for any situation,” he said. Thus, the importance to Lee and the Carlyle Fire Department of acquiring a facility that would allow this kind of training.
VIRGO You may be put in charge of an event that brings together a lot of people in a professional setting. This is a huge success, even if it’s just because you were able to assert yourself.
LIBRA Vacation time is finally here, at least for your young children. This takes a weight off your shoulders, and you have fewer responsibilities on your schedule. You live more for the moment.
SCORPIO You may need to spend more time than expected looking for all the necessary funding required for the realization of a family project that’s close to your heart.
SAGITTARIUS You’re an outstanding negotiator, whether it’s at work or elsewhere. You leave very little leeway for people you do business with.

The live auction included an autographed Bobby Orr Boston Bruins jersey as well as Saskatchewan Roughriders prints and a scenic print.
CAPRICORN Expect to put in lots of overtime at work. Despite the extra stress it brings, it allows you to save more money for your next vacation.
Weather for the week . . .
AQUARIUS You make a lot of decisions regarding your professional future. You embark on a new life plan that is more in line with your aspirations.
PISCES You’re very proud of a family member. One of your children may start walking, or do really well at school or otherwise distinguish themselves.

Moose Mountain Air Cadet Squadron holds 53rd annual inspection By Lynne Bell, Observer Staff The 20-strong Moose Mountain Air Cadet Squadron held their 53rd annual ceremonial review parade, Monday, June 1 in Carlyle. In addition to earning an impressive number of awards-which Reviewing Officer Brent Wolfe described as “marvelous”-the squadron demonstated some of the skills and drills they had mastered during the 2014-2015 year to family and friends. Reviewing Officer Wolfe inspected the squadron and told them they compared favourably with international cadet squadrons. “A job well done,” said Wolfe. “It’s marvellous what you’ve done here, and thank you very much for allowing me the privilege of being here tonight.” Wolfe said the air cadet program was “an asset,” which served him well in his life and career. “I’m very grateful to the air cadets. It taught me a lot and I encourage you to talk the program up to your friends.” “How wonderful getting to fly, going places, shooting, competing, participating in exchanges...There are so many opportunities.” Cannington MLA and special guest, the Hon. Dan D’Autremont agreed, recalling his days as a cadet and extending a special thank you to cadet parents. “They’re the ones who get you to cadets,” he said. “Without the participation of the parents, it’s difficult to be a cadet.” “You put on a very, very good display and demonstration this evening,” added D’Autremont. “There are lots of opportunities and lots of things to learn. I got my wings through the Air Cadets. It’s very, very worthwhile training. You learn discipline, teamwork and so many other valuable things through your training.” This year, Moose Mountain #723 Squadron’s training activities included a fall campout at Saskairie, a tour of the RCMP Depot, airport, and IMAX theatre in Regina, a four-day trip to Edmonton, a gliding trip to Brandon, a biathalon in Regina, a senior canoe campout at Kenosee Lake, curling in Carnduff and participation in Remembrance Day services. Commanding Officer 2Lt. Derek Huenison said “The 2014-2015 training year was a year of change. We had 10 new first-years walk through the door. That’s very exciting, welcoming those future pilots.” After thanking staff members, cadet parents, members of the sponsoring committee and the dignitaries in attendance, Huenison reserved his most important thank you of the evening for the cadets “You are setting yourself up for success. I am proud of you all. You cadets have made my job very easy this past year.”

Worthwhile Wanderlust: Nicole Andrew’s Mission Journey Carlyle’s Nicole Andrew says of her most recent mission trip: “I went with the idea that I would do whatever, whenever, for whomever. Four days in, that’s what this trip turned out to be.” The 20-year-old says that her most recent trip to Kenya was a four-month journey made up of equal parts faith and adventure, which she wrote about in a series for The Observer called “Letters from Africa” and on her blog, https://nicoleinafrica2015.wordpress.com. “I arrived in Kenya having no idea what I would be doing this time, but days into my trip, I was teaching a grade one class.” “So here I am, 20 years old, day five in Africa being dropped off in a slum where I’ve never been before, with teachers I’ve known half an hour, with kids I’ve never met, teaching grade one.” And although she taught lessons, Andrew says she learned a lot, too. “Kenya is a country I absolutely love with all of my heart,” she says. “Yet it can tear my heart out as easily as I fell in love with it.” A committed Christian, Andrew attends Carlyle’s OneChurch, and says that trading her desk job at Andrew Agencies for four months of volunteering with evangelical mission, the Jacaranda Community (http://www.jacarandacommunity. com/) in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya was an easy choice to make. “I know Nairobi and I love the people there,” says Andrew. “It’s a place that feels like home to me and it’s been a giving and receiving and growing trip-on both sides. It’s not just about me going there and giving. I receive so much from helping there.” “And I really respect the approach of Gary and
Brenda Kean, who founded the Jacaranda Community. Their main focus is on training single mothers a skill-like sewing-that they can use to support themselves and their children. They also provide for, protect and care for the kids so the moms can work and support their families.” Already an experienced missions volunteer, Andrew has made two trips to Kenya, as well as numerous volunteering trips to Mexico and throughout Saskatchewan with her family and with OneChurch.

Cornerstone Family and Youth receives second grant, garners praise from Canadian Women’s Foundation Lynne Bell Observer Staff
Cornerstone Family and Youth received praiseand a second grant- from the Canadian Women’s Foundation on Tuesday, June 2 when Samantha Cochrane, CWF’s manager of girls mentoring visited Gordon F. Kells High School to deliver the good news. The pilot program, in which girls from grades five and six were mentored by their peers in grades 11 and 12, was “A chance for the younger girls to build relationships with the older girls, to increase self esteem, to add supports in their lives, and ultimately, to figure out who they are,” says Krystal Fehrenbach, community education liason for Carlyle schools. “The Canadian Womens’ Foundation was delighted to offer Cornerstone Family and Youth an extended, full grant to continue and expand their girls program,” says Cochrane. “We are continually inspired by the passion and talent of their team and have full confidence that their program will continue to engage and empower girls in their community. We are thrilled and honoured to be able to continue to collaborate in this work.” “We’ve had the pleasure of working with Cornerstone Family and Youth since September 2014. Jenn (Sedor) attended our National Skills Institute on girls’ programming in April 2014. Canadian Women’s Foundation had been developing a girls group mentoring toolkit in partnership with Alberta Mentoring Partnership and under the direction of an advisory group. We had the opportunity to pilot the toolkit with five organizations to test how it worked in different community contects. Cornerstone Family and Youth submitted a solid proposal and was selected for the pilot grant, which ran from September 2014 to the end of April 2015.” “Canadian Women’s Foundation conducted an evaluation of the pilot process and had regular

their ongoing, open and valuable feedback.” “We have observed the growth of their program, the dedication of their staff and the use of best practices-as well as the boldness to test
innovations-in developing a girls group mentoring program that is engaging, meaningful and transformative for girls.” “Through their feedback and input on the toolkit, CWF has had the opportunity to improve this resource and adapt it to be more useful and directive,” says Cochrane. “Their team has had a direct impact on the quality of this toolkit and as a result, will positively influence the future direction and impact of girls group mentoring across the country.” “We’re both grateful and delighted because this wasn’t an overnight opportunity.” says Jenn Sedor, program coordinator for Cornerstone Family and Youth. “It was four years in the making. We were actively looking for ways to fill in the gaps in girls programming in this area; and funding from the Canadian Women’s Foundation has enabled us to fulfill that dream.” “We’re so very pleased and proud to have their support and recognition.”

Spring band concert showcases hard work Kelly Running
(left) The Grade 6 Band has been soaking up their material this year and therefore played four songs for the audience as opposed to the usual two.
Observer Staff
For the grade five and six students in band from Carlyle Elementary School and the Senior Band from G.F.Kells performed in their annual Spring Concert, including a solo performance by Jory Dyck on the Alto Saxaphone as he was asked to compete at the Provincial Music Festival on Saturday, June 6. Dyck had been given a recommendation following his performance of Vocalise at the Redvers Music Festival. He performed on Monday, June 1, at the band concert as practice for his performance on the Saturday. Speaking of all his students, Director Kevin Dyck stated: “They’ve come a long way throughout the year.” The Grade 5 Band took to performing first. They played “Heroes and Glory” by Swearingen and “Let’s Go Band” by Ahronheim. This group since their performance last fall have grown a lot as a band and as individual musicians. “There’s always such a huge change even just in a few months,” Dyck said. “You’ll notice the pieces get substantially longer too, so they’re not just more technical but they have to work on their stamina as well if they’re going to make it through the whole piece.” These improvements were evident as the Grade 5 Beginner Band played. Next up was the Grade 6 Junior Band who performed four pieces including “Anasazi” by Edmondson, “The X-Brigade” by Longfield, “Aztalan” by Sweeney, and “Conflict” by Clark. “This group just wanted more, more, more, and they just kept tearing it up, so instead of doing two pieces for you tonight we’re doing four,” Dyck explained. Not only did they simply play these pieces, but within “Aztalan” they performed using exposed playing, where individual instruments are heard without the big band backing them at that time, and they introduced a new instrument – the rain stick. Additionally because they’re a smaller band without trumpets, the clarinet players performed their part within the music as well as some of the trumpet parts leading to the players performing the “clarinumpet.” The Senior Band then took the stage with help from Redvers and Oxbow students who helped to bolster the sound of the band. “We have a few imports, as you can see,” Dyck said. “We have students from Redvers and Oxbow who we would like to thank for coming and for filling out our sound a little bit.” The Senior Band, made up of grades 7-12, performed five pieces for the crowd amassed at G.F. Kells. They took on three typical band pieces including “Entrance of the Tall Ships” by Swearingen, “Celtic Air and Dance” by Sweeney, and “Renegade Dances” by Shaffer. Additionally they took on two songs of popular music including “Born this Way” by Lady Gaga and “Super Hits Mega Mix” by Lavender which is made up of classic rock. Videos of these two performances can be found online at carlyleobserver.com. The Grade 5 Band had Sydney Bouchard, Brooklyn Delorme, Ryley Himmelspeck, Addyson Morse, Summer Rutten, and Presley Wilcox on the flute; Brandon Fleming and Riley Gilks on the clarinet; Cooper Humphries and Denita Shepherd on the Alto Saxophone; Trystan Barta, Jason Hietanen, Caitlyn Joya, Madison Magotiaux, Riley Park, and Kaysha Turner on the trumpet; Jaydin

Texting is something that people do everyday and often we get caught forgetting about etiquette, so I thought I’d delve into what that means. When you’re amongst others, in a face-to-face conversation the phone shouldn’t be coming out unless you Kelly Running Observer Staff excuse yourself or ask if it would be alright to check the phone or take the call. Text messages are informal and because a lot of human communication is done through body language it isn’t something that should be used for a lot of things. It’s casual and the meaning of the message can easily be misunderstood and discomfort between people can develop. One big thing I think people sometimes forget about quite often is that text messages aren’t instantaneous. People get to them when they get to them and if you’re sending an important message, which you’d like answered right away, a text message is not the right forum to use. I got a message one time early in the morning. I hadn’t been feeling well and didn’t have anything to get to that day, so was sleeping in. It was a time sensitive question to which they later texted back that they were disappointed I hadn’t answered them in a timely manner. I got both messages at the same time, which was two-hours after the first one was sent. So, if it is immediate make a voice call, although keep in mind you may not be able to get through. The phone could be dead, off, set to “do not disturb,” or it’s possible the individual is unable to talk at that instance. One thing I know I get caught doing, because I’m a bit of a night person, is that I’ll get a message ready to send in the morning and accidentally send it right away or simply forget what time it is and send it. I know I need to be better about this because you should respect other people’s schedules. If you’re awake, working, or not busy, the person you’re messaging might not be. Ultimately your phone does have an offbutton and there are very few things in this world that cannot wait. What did we do before cell phones? We couldn’t get a hold of people, so we would leave a message. It was never possible before to guarantee you could contact someone and it still isn’t which is something we often forget about when using current technology. The fact is, it’s kind of nice to be away from your phone for a bit. Although with work it has developed into a main form of organization. However, it’s pleasant to get out of cell service and be amongst the real world. Enjoy nature and hang out with friends in real life, it’s better than chatting through a text message with them. Having said that texting is a great way to keep in touch with people. I for one use it to keep in touch with friends who live far away. But you shouldn’t have to be tied to your phone. If you forget it at home, it’s been forgotten, is it really necessary you go back and get it?

2 cazh 2 lrn 2 spell
The huge smiles on their faces as they hoisted their trophy said it all. This is a big deal--so big in fact that ESPN carries the competition live. Cowinners of the 2015 Scripps National Spelling Bee, Vanya Shivashankar and Gokul Venkatachalam, were presented with the trophy and prize money after having made it through preliminary rounds spelling words like pyrrhuliox, nixtamal and zygonerure before the final round which saw Vanya correctly spell scherenschnitte and Gokul finding success with nunatak. For word aficionados and students of language it is a fun challenge to see how many rounds they can hang in there with the children…yes, children… who are the featured contestants. This year’s winners were 13 and 14 years old. I cannot knit, draw or decorate spectacular cakes, but I consider myself a decent speller--clearly not Scripps calibre, but nonetheless somewhat proficient. I attribute that to the amount of reading I did as a child but also to the hours I spent deciphering the game board in countless rounds of Scrabble. Like many brilliant ideas, the game of Scrabble had humble beginnings and was marked by initial rejection. Alfred Mosher Butts was an unemployed architect from Poughkeepsie, New York who set out to invent a board game encompassing chance and skill. He poured over the front page of The New York Times to analyze, in painstaking detail, letter usage and frequency to determine how many tiles would be needed for each letter of his new word game. Butts’ enthusiasm for his concept was met with disinterest on the part of manufacturers, but in 1948 an entrepreneur offered to help and they rented an abandoned property where Butts’ friends and family began stamping letters on wooden tiles, turning out 12 games per hour. They lost money. Undaunted, they persevered, and within four years Scrabble became the “it” game. Since Butts and his partner couldn’t meet the new demand, they licensed it to a company that had previously rejected it and mass production began. Approximately 150 million sets in 29 languages have been sold worldwide in 121 countries. It is now firmly entrenched as a cultural icon which can be found in one of every three American homes. I have great memories of my family gathered around the kitchen table at home or a picnic table on camping trips playing endless rounds of the game. I considered it fun learning new words, determining the best way to build off words, and how to use the coloured squares to maximize points. No two rounds were ever the same and I loved that. These days you will find me playing against a computer, taking particular pride if I happen to best it as it racks up massive points playing words I’ve never heard of before.

But then again, words acceptable to the game of Scrabble are in a constant state of flux. The 2015 Scrabble dictionary informs us that words like ridic, obvs, cazh and thanx are among the 6500 new words we can play. It causes the hair on the arms of spellShelley Luedtke ers to stand straight up but it shouldn’t come as a tremendous surprise. Some of the changes in language have been driven by new products, services and technologies. Others come from our apparent need to shorten everything up as we speak--or more likely--as we use social media. Apparently we are simply far too busy or preoccupied to worry about spelling and so a bevy of abbreviations have taken hold of our language. But spelling matters. Think about the woman who had to be corrected after tweeting her friends how much she liked the smell of her boyfriend’s colon, or the high school student who bragged to a college about being a genios in math. It gave many a good laugh. But sometimes the consequences can be harsh. Business surveys tell us that spelling mistakes on resumes are a deterrent to 64% of employers yet 50% of resumes submitted contain these types of errors. It’s not just about spelling; it’s recognizing that how we use words reflects on our communication skills, our perceived level of education, as well as our attitude toward quality and detail. Since spelling and vocabulary are always in a state of change it is up to us to ensure we’re moving language forward, not sliding backward into lazy talk and sloppy speech. Take heart; 11 million children took part in the lead-up to this year’s Scripps Spelling Bee. That is 11 million students whose parents/teachers/classmates/community leaders recognize the importance of language and learning to spell. In Canada there are several companies who sponsor multiple events and each one which attracts upwards of 46,000 participants. One-by-one we are teaching children to spell. The highest point value I observed by my opponent in a single play in Scrabble was 89 points thanks to a triple word square as well as a bonus for playing all seven of their tiles. The highest point value I ever earned was 68 points but because it was against the computer there was no one there to share in my excitement…or verify it actually happened! But that’s okay. It’s not the points on the board but the patterns in behaviour that marks the steps we take in language. How we communicate not only says something about who we are, but also a lot about where we see ourselves going. That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .
Drop the drinking age
The drinking age debate Lynne Bell
Kelly Running
Observer Staff
Observer Staff
Although it doesn’t seem like a steep change, this week Lynne and I decided to talk about the drinking age in Saskatchewan which is 19 and if should remain or be lowered. Originally we were discussing 21, but realized that doesn’t apply to us in the Great White North, where the provinces range only by one year. British Columbia is 19, Alberta is 18, Saskatchewan is 19, Manitoba 18, Ontario is 19, Quebec is 18, while the Maritime provinces are 19 as are the territories. However, around the world the majority of countries are in fact 18-years-old. At 18-years-old, in Canada and in most western cultures, people are considered adults. Being an adult means they receive the right to vote, are able to purchase cigarettes, serve on a jury, get married, be prosecuted under the law as an adult, and even join the military – kids are allowed to sign up to risk their life for the country, but they’re not allowed to have a drink. They can begin blackening their lungs with cigarettes, cigars, and risk mouth cancer through purchasing chew; but, they’re not allowed to have alcohol. With the majority of the world legal at 18, and with Saskatchewan falling in between Alberta and Manitoba who are 18, it only makes sense to change the age. While growing up, I remember classmates who planned trips with their friends to Medicine Hat. They would stay with friends or get hotel rooms and travel to Medicine Hat to drink because they were now legal. Is this not encouraging them to go elsewhere to drink. Had it been legal at home they would have simply made plans to go out there, instead of travelling out of province to go do this. It would therefore benefit the economy as more people would remain here to socialize, while it would also prevent them from driving (possibly hung-over or still above the legal limit) from driving home after such a weekend. Youth still get a hold of alcohol regardless of the drinking age, but perhaps normalizing alcohol consumption by promoting responsibility and moderation will stop binge drinking which is very typical of high school youth and college youth. Additionally there are fewer drunk driving traffic accidents and fatalities in countries where the legal drinking age is 18. Although the stats I found were from the 1980s. While researching I also discovered different countries also allow youth of 16-years-old allowed to purchase beer and wine, while they have to be 18-years-old for spirits, such as Belgium for purchasing alcohol. This is because there is no legal drinking age, just a legal purchasing age. Although it’s made illegal to give alcohol to someone not of legal purchasing age in some countries. Why not drop the age and make it less desirable? Make it more expensive, tax it heavier, and eliminate specials of any kind at the bar if worried about 18-year-olds going out and simply getting smashed. This age group is already drinking though and would it not be better to attempt to regulate it than it to simply be happening.
The argument for lowering Saskatchewan’s legal drinking age is not a new one. In March 2013, the members of the provincial legislature voted to keep the legal drinking age in Saskatchewan at 19, instead of lowering it to the age of 18. The particular proposal to lower Saskatchewan’s drinking age came about as a resolution which was passed-narrowly- by the Saskatchewan Party at its November 2012 convention. And not surprisingly, the proposal came from the party’s youth wing. At the time, Premier Brad Wall told reporters: “We take resolutions at the convention very seriously but before we make any change, we are going to have to consult. You can see the rationale those young people come with. Someone can serve their country, be in harms way... Someone can choose our government...and yet that person serving his country can’t go to the Legion and have a beer.” “On the other hand, do we want to be broadening the access to alcohol for young people?” added Wall. “There really is two sides.” Currently, almost the entire country has a legal drinking age of 19. Only Quebec-and Saskatchewan’s neighbouring provinces-Alberta and Manitoba- have allowed 18-year-olds to consume and purchase liquor legally. At the time, Diane Fontaine of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) stated that Saskatchewan has one of the highest impaired driving rates in Canada, most commonly among drivers 1825 years old, adding: “Drinking is not a right; it is a privilege.” In Canada, federally, the age of adulthood is 18. That is, an 18-year-old can vote, join the Canadian Forces, be tried as an adult under the Criminal Code of Canada and marry without their parents’ permission. However, in most provinces they cannot legally purchase or consume alcohol. As the premier said, there are two sides to this argument. In 1971, Ontario lowered its legal drinking age to 18 from 21; but since 1979, the province has settled on 19 as the province’s legal drinking age. The reason for the turnaround? It occurred in part because when the age was lowered to 18, there were too many complaints of high schoolers getting drunk. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that underage drinking would cease if the legal drinking age was raised. A case in point is the U.S., where the minimum legal drinking age is 21, but where it is not uncommon for young people

under the age of 21 to have consumed liquor before they were of legal age. As a society, we all pay the price (some more heavily than others) for alcoholism and its effects (binge drinking and impaired driving, to name two). The cost to us all is too high to legally sanction-and thereby encourage-young people to drink at an earlier age. Many 18-year-olds are still in high school and may not be prepared to deal with the potential consequences of drinking. Another concern is that schools and parents may find it more difficult to enforce abstinence among younger teens if 18 year-olds share legally-purchased alcohol with their younger peers. For most teenagers, the year between ages 18 and 19 is a big one. Whether the young person in question chooses to continue their formal education or whether they enter the workforce fulltime, they usually gain experience and grow in maturity, as they leave their high school selves behind. By choosing to leave the legal drinking age at 19, Saskatchewan is upholding balanced legislation that is in step with most of Canada. By keeping the legal drinking age where it is, the negative consequences of drinking by younger teens is probably minimized. And the province’s 19-year-olds aren’t treated like children-but instead, like the young adults they are.

Lampman sports weekend a hit Kelly Running Observer Staff
Despite rain during the night Friday, June 5, and the following Saturday, moods were not dampened at the Lampman Sports Weekend held from June 5-7. A major fundraiser for the Recreation Board the weekend was a success. As a fundraiser this project has already helped expand the campground from 40 to 68 full service sites as well as establishing a new washroom house with brand new facilities. The Rec Board is now looking to finish the upgrades at the swimming pool and plan on major renovations to one of the ball diamonds, which has been susceptible to being flooded out over the last 25 years. Slow pitch began under the lights on Friday. With 21 teams registered the competition lasted through the evening, all of Saturday, and Sunday as well. Teams ranged from high school aged youth to adults. Playing through the rain the teams were only held up Saturday morning as they waited for the diamonds to dry up some. The A-side was won by Master Batter 17-15 against Smack-A-Pitch, while the B-side winners were Alcobolics over Nice Snatch in a blow out of 16-3. Also being played under the lights Friday evening was the beach volleyball event, which saw six teams entered. Although numbers were down from previous years, those that attended enjoyed themselves. Challenged by the rain it was a fun way to start off the weekend. Teams included high
school athletes and adults with the final including an out of town team versus a local boys’ high school team. In a tough fought battle it was Notorious D.I.G that took first in the A-side, while The Brad Team took first on the B-side. Tough competition in men’s hardball was underway on Saturday and Sunday where five teams competed in the action. Estevan, Carlyle, Lampman, Wawota, and Weyburn showcased their abilities to large crowds both days as they fought for the title of tournament champion. In the end it was Estevan that took the win over Carlyle in a tight game with 2 runs to 1. Women’s fastball was cancelled on Sunday. However, the street dance held on Saturday night with Samara Yung performing was a success. Last year the street dance had rained out and there were worries in the afternoon on Saturday as a dark cloud loomed over Lampman, but after 20 minutes of rain it cleared. The event sees the Lampman and District Lions help in numerous ways as well as other community groups, including Lampman 4-H who served breakfast Saturday morning and Lampman Fire and Rescue who served breakfast Sunday morning. The weekend had something for everyone including a Kid’s Korner on Saturday and old time entertainment on Sunday by the Happy Wanderers. Also organized for the weekend was a small town wide garage sale. Overall the weekend was a success which brings many people from the area together for a weekend of entertainment and action.

Rider Insider If the majority of the Rider Nation is correct, their beloved football team will be hosting a playoff game in November of 2015. In an online poll at RodPedersen.com, readers were asked in which place they think the Saskatchewan Roughriders will finish this season. The poll will remain open until Canada Day but so far the largest margin of respondents (45%) feels the football club will finish in second-place, which would carry with it an automatic berth in the Western Semifinal. I think we’d all take that in a heartbeat. In fact the breakdown looks like this: 1st – 35% 2nd – 45% 3rd – 12% 4th- 5% 5th – 2% You can put me down in the 12%, as I’m going on record this
week predicting an 11-7 record for the Green & White, and a third-place finish. It sets the bar relatively low but it represents a modest improvement over last year’s 10-8 mark and means the club would at least get an invitation to “The Dance”. And what the heck’s wrong with 11-7 anyway? The Riders’ depth has been questioned after being raided in the 2014 offseason and the 18 games ahead will test how well it’s been replenished. The Roughriders themselves set the bar surprisingly high just before training camp when General Manager Brendan Taman told a Regina radio morning show he feels his team could go 12-6. That could be the sweet spot. 12-6 could very well get you second-place because I think we’re all anointing the Grey Cup champion
Calgary Stampeders the West Division pennant right now. After a 15-3 campaign last year, they could well achieve 16 wins this time around. In the end of course, records don’t really matter other than to determine playoff seeding. The Riders finished 10-7-1 in 2009
Investors Group Field in Winnipeg, no matter which road they take to get there. And now as we enter the second week of Roughriders training camp in Saskatoon, head coach Corey Chamblin is envisioning his team back in The Big Dance. “This looks like a
but finished first and hosted the Western Final for the first time in 30-some years. I’ve seen them finish better than that, but still have to go on the road for the postseason. But one thing’s for certain: everyone’s goal is to get to the 2015 Grey Cup at
team that has the makings of being a Grey Cup football team,” Chamblin said confidently. “I’m very pleased with what I see. I’m pleased with the talent, I’m pleased with the way the systems are coming along and I’m pleased with where we
are. Overall I think the staff is doing a good job, the coaches are doing a good job and the players are doing a damn good job of making themselves ready to play football games.” Frankly the only knee-knocking question mark surrounding the football club is the offensive line, which was noted here last week. The team is working to fill holes at centre and at right tackle and brought in 2-time Grey Cup champion and former B.C. Lions centre Angus Reid as a guest coach to help speed up the cohesion in training camp. Veteran import Levy Adcock appears to be the one to replace Ben Heenan at right tackle while veteran non-import Dan Clark is ahead of Corey Watman in the battle to replace Dominic Picard at centre. So far the reviews have been good but the real bullets won’t fly until this Saturday’s preseason game against Edmonton in Fort McMurray. Kickoff in the Northern
Kickoff is 8:00 pm Sask Time (on TSN and the CKRM Roughrider Radio Network). “Everything looks good right now,” Angus Reid cautioned. “The thing is you’re going to see a different looking offensive line from a scheme perspective. It’s taking these guys a little longer to learn a new system, if you will, but what I will say is you got guys here who are willing to work their butt off and always try their best. They’re not questioning or fighting the system and that’s what you need. I think by the end of camp you’ll see a well-oiled machine and I’m really excited to watch this group this year.” Perhaps I should’ve asked the Richmond, BC product to vote on where he thinks the Roughriders will finish in 2015. Then truly, it would have been an Angus Reid Poll. (Rod Pedersen is the voice of the Roughriders on 620 CKRM Regina. For daily Rider news, check out his blog at RodPedersen.com)

What possible good? By Linda Wegner Hubby’s been on a murderous rampage this past week and I totally support him; in fact, I have congratulated him for bagging approximately three dozen targets in just one hunting expedition. Lest you’re wondering if we have abandoned all our Christian convictions, be assured that the objects of these manhunts are not human. Here’s why. Gardening has its challenges, no matter where a person lives and those challenges certainly include pests unique to every location. While I’ve finally adjusted to the most of the different bugs and beetles residing on the West Coast (as compared to those on the prairies), the presence of slugs continues to nauseate and infuriate me. Frankly I find them horrid creatures! They are slimy, elusive, destructive and to top it all off, they flaunt their

presence by leaving a shiny trail of mucus behind them as proof they’d been there. As if I needed more proof than the tattered leafs of hostas, beans and head of lettuce that was almost ready to harvest. “Way to go”, I told Hubby as I lauded his efforts, “go get some more of them!” That’s when I realized God might have had a reason for adding them to the list of critters to create. I soon discovered that He did. In fact, they’re a food source for other animals, they break down dead and dying matter including dung and they’re useful in recycling nutrients such as nitrogen through the food chain. While clearing areas of such materials they also spread seeds through their own waste. Have you ever felt useless, unlovely or totally rejected? Ever entertained slug-like opinions about yourself or about others? Here’s good news!

Parenting Tips from Regional KidsFirst - Responding to fear
Fear is very common in childhood and is a normal part of your child’s development. Most fears that children have are mild and tend to come and go at different ages. However, some children have such strong fear that it stops them completely from doing things. For example ~ your child is so scared of monsters in the closet, sleep time is impossible! When your child fears something, common reactions are screaming, crying, or running to their parents for comfort. Some common fears that your child might experience are: • Unable to breathe • Animals (i.e. Big Dogs) • The Dark • Being Alone • Imaginary Creatures such as Monsters in the closet! How can you manage your child’s fear to help them deal with everyday situations more proactively? • Discuss the fear with your child • Set a good example • Teach your child some coping strategies that may assist with his fears • Encourage your child to slowly face their fears • Remain calm if your child is fearful and becoming uneasy • Use lots of praise when your child faces his fears • Try new activities • Talk with your child about serious fears such as fires, crossing a busy street, strange dogs, or strange people Allow your child to learn to face his fears with the help of other children of similar age.
Council decided to research the cost of repairing frost boils on Carlyle Avenue. Library To further facilitate library programs, the Carlyle Library will soon have a flat screen television installed.

Kennedy/Langbank News Submitted by Doreen Cancade
Saturday, June 6th Kennedy had a busy day---Town wide garage sales, and 4-H Jack Pot. The town wide garage sales were very successful I am told. The Kennedy Friendship Centre served roast beef on a bun and there was a very good crowd for that. Thanks to everyone who supported the club with dinner and shopping. The Kennedy 4-H Beef Club hosted the Jackpot 4-H show, which included judging jackpot, showmanship jackpot, jackpot steer show and jackpot heifer show. There were over 75 cattle in the show with clubs represented from Whitewood, Fairmede, Radville, Alameda, Arcola-Kisbey, Roblin, MB; Benson, Outram-Madigan, Fillmore, Milestone and Wawota. This little item
is to show us how important 4H is and a big thanks to all the leaders, sponsors, etc. who make these days so special for the young people as well as everyone who comes to support the event. Club 19 at Kenosee Lake hosted their last musical show for the season with banjo and guitar music by Anne Louise Genest and Chris Coole from BC. There was a good attendance. I am sure everyone will be looking forward to the next season of entertainers. Janet Doblanko of Edmonton (granddaughter) visited with Bob and Kate Smyth on the weekend. Geraldine and Floyd Swenson and Beryl Richards were the first to camp at Kenosee camp sight this past weekend.
They are looking forward to coming back for the rodeo in July. Iola Smyth had a chance to visit with her son Todd and family of Roblin, MB and to watch the grandchildren in the 4-H show ó a great day for Iola. Her family has been involved with 4H for many, many years. Visiting with George and I this weekend were Glenn and Deb Chanut, and Gloria Mitchell of Calgary, they stopped in Regina to visit with Dingi Berglund who is in Wascana Hospital. Alyssa Panteluk and Gabrielle Dube arrived home this past week after spending some time in Australia ó both of the girls plan on entering university in the fall.

Lloyd and Lois East welcomed a new grandson, Cohen Joseph on May 25, 2015, second son for Dan and Kim East. Proud great-grandma is Ruth Annetts (Carnduff, originally of Alida). Congratulations everyone. Murray Cowan and son Adam (Estevan) spent the weekend (June 5-6) visiting with his parents, Gray and Edel Cowan, his brother, Tim, Shelly and Ainsley Cowan. While here they participated in the slow-pitch tournament at Alida Sports Day on Saturday, June 6 and also renewing acquaintances at the sports event. Jeff Cowan (Regina) spent the weekend (June 6-7) visiting with his parents, Gray and Edel Cowan and he also participated in the slow-pitch tournament on Saturday and also visited with his brothers Murray and Tim and families as well as renewing acquaintances at the Sports day. What a weekend! It was the Alida Sports Day and it was a very busy couple of days. A total of 11 teams entered the slow-pitch tournament. Friday, June 5 was the actual beginning of the sports weekend when a couple of slow-pitch games being played. And to stay with tradition – it RAINNED (thank goodness it happened throughout the wee early hours of the morning) – giving us an inch of water. This caused much mud to wade through all day but the kids however really enjoyed playing in it. Saturday morning began once again with the slow-pitch tournament getting underway. At the hall a breakfast was being served at 8:00 by Kitchen group # 2 at the helm and they were definitely kept busy – as at the end it was noted that they had served over 100 breakfasts – WOW that is a record – way to go guys and gals. Appreciation also goes out to all those who came out to attend breakfast. Guests were not only from Alida and area but also some from Redvers, Carnduff, Oxbow, Weyburn and Estevan – great to see you all there. It was going to be another great warm day as the day progressed and the time clock ticked on – it was soon time to begin the “Amazing Bed Race” which had 7 “amazing” looking homemade beds and of course the team members all looked “amazing” in their costumes. When this race was over and winners declared the slow-pitch tournament was back underway and three of our young entrepreneurs set up their homemade treat table where they sold cookies, dainties, lemonade or iced tea, and they had decided to turn over their profit to the rink fund. One found some shade inside the big tent where they could enjoy a rest while having something to eat and drink. The children also got to enjoy the Bouncy Castle when it arrived and was set up. As the day progressed the tournament was soon winding down and the final game began around 7:30. The Alida Sports Day proved to be another huge success for the Alida Recreation Board and they appreciate all the support that everyone gave to this event. It is time for most of the 4-H clubs to hold their achievement days. The Alida & Area 4-H Beef Club will be holding their club achievement day on Friday, June 12 here in Alida at the “4-H grounds” at the end of Centre Street. It’s a good time to come out and see the hard work that the 4-H members have been doing and learning over this past year and cheer them on. Their regional show and sale will follow on Saturday, June 13 at Alameda. Once again if possible plan on coming out to watch the member with their calves. Good Luck members on a successful year. Don’t forget that it will soon be Father’s Day – a time to honor all dads on their special day on Sunday, June 21. Hope all dads have a Happy Father’s Day. Once again folks please remember to give me a call (306-443-2496) or send me an e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel.net) with your news – I do appreciate your help in making this column interesting for all to read and enjoy. Until next time – Think positive – Keep smiling – Drive safely and Take care.

“Procrastination has always been my strong suit,” said one announcer on the radio. Reminded me of one speech given by a friend at Moose Mountain Toastmasters #5455 in the last 15 years about that subject. The toastmaster in Carlyle was determined to beat, “putting off things and put an end to procrastinating.” The topic was given and then four brand new videos still in their plastic casing were brought out. Then the toastmaster told us, “I’ve had them a long time!” Then they were displayed to all with the title; “How to Beat Procrastination!” Honestly we nearly brought the house down with our laughter. There was a Pot Luck Meal Thursday, June 4 with 26 diners at the Four Seasons Community Center. It was followed by reports being given at the Four Seasons Annual Meeting with Jeanie Arndt as President of the Four Seasons chairing the meeting. Also there was Sylvia Brodziak as Secretary; Darwin Giem as Treasurer and Past President Rudy Maksymiw there as well. The people in charge of the setting up and the cleanup of the tables were: Colleen and Jim Reed, Dorothy and Rudy Maksymiw, Colleen and Bill Duke, Margand Dennis Gustafson, Sylvia and Eugene Brodziak. Tuesday, June 2, some 27 bingo players came to our Four Season Community Hall for Bingo aka “The Bingo Hall” last week.
