Hosted on Sunday, April 24, was the Rhythm Cats Showcase in Wawota where competitive rhythmic gymnasts from Redvers, Maryﬁeld, and Wawota, who train with Ross Gym and Fit, performed. The day began with an introduction of each of the Rhythm Cats, which saw young ladies of varying ages ready to showcase their abilities for the community of Wawota to see. Those performing included Jacey Patterson, Rory Greenbank, Talisa Davies, Hailey Prince, Kiara Roberts, Dawson Naylen, Reece Thompson, and Sasha West. Each girl performed two solos which were focused on rope, ball, hoop, or free, while two junior groups also performed. Graceful and ﬂexible, they showcased what it is to be a rhythmic gymnast, impressing the crowd as they somersaulted, per-

formed one-handed cartwheels, and tossed/caught their ropes, hoops, and balls throughout. The girls were wonderful in their energy and abilities as they wowed the crowd numerous times throughout their performances with their many impressive skills. Following the various performances by the talented crew, awards were given out for the year which included Athlete of the Year to Reece Thompson, Most Improved to Kiara Roberts, and All-Around Gymnast to Sasha West. This is the third year of the club being in existence and it has continued to grow since the beginning. “They had one competition in March and they did very well,” Jodie Dunham, head coach, said. “The next competition, which is provincials, is on Mother’s Day in Regina.” Ross Gym and Fit oﬀers recreational rhythmic gymnastics and recreational artistic gymnastics, as

The travelling coach hosts lessons in various communities and attracts gymnasts from Wawota, Maryfield, Redvers, Virden, and Moosomin. “The competition season runs from March until May and we hope to host our own competition next year in Moosomin and have clubs from across Saskatchewan come out,” Dunham said. If interested in rhythmic or artistic gymnastics, contact Dunham at rossgymandfit@gmail.com. “I’m hoping to bring gymnastics to other areas in future years,” Dunham explained. This will be made a little easier as one of the girls she has been coaching recently became a certified coach as well.

Carlyle Dance Effex hosted their 2016 recital in Arcola on Saturday, April 23, to a packed Prairie Place. Family and friends were all excited and amazed by the abilities of the dancers. Everyone smiled widely as the young beginner classes and the two-year-old tot class came to the stage to perform. Their sheer adorableness held the attention of the crowd and the young dancers performed very well, which resulted in erupting applause following each of their performances. An impressive showing on the stage included the senior jazz group which was quite large, covering the stage, as they executed their dance perfectly in unison, leaping and landing as one. Dances which particularly stood out at the recital included four which have received honours this year at competitions. They have so far been to three competitions: Weyburn, Ogema, and Moose Jaw. Their final competition will be held in Regina. The Team Effex performance to “Sweet Dreams” closed the show. Team Effex is made up of youth from the Carlyle, Weyburn, and Radville studios. The performance was one that earned “Runner Up High Point Group” award in Ogema. Dancers involved with this included Jaryn Desjarlais, Destiny Riddell, Brooke Valentine, Andy Tonn, Rylan King, Maya Knipfel, Jade Fillion, Mia Oberholzer, Arianna Bourassa, Hallie Bourassa, and Brieana Van Damme. The Carlyle studio won a “High Mark” award in Weyburn for their performance to “Say Something.” Dancers involved include Mackenzie Carley, Kennedy Turgeon, Desiree Riddell, Destiny Riddell, Jennifer Wilson, Chelssea Slykhuis, Katie Husband, Quinn Wilton, Jaryn Desjarlais, Hannah Brownlee, Emilee Wagner, Kye-Lynn Van Meer, Sarah Fahlman, Shaelyn Schill, Callie Efford, Hanah Coffey, and Brooke Valentine. Jaryn Desjarlais’ contemporary performance to “Numb” won the award of “Adjudicators Choice Solo” in Ogema. It was a beautiful piece which captivated the audience’s attention. Destiny Riddell and Brooke Valentine’s performance to “See You Again” was another captivating dance, which was extremely unique as they combined lyrical and hip hop. Their performance won “Promising Contemporary Duo” in Weyburn. Although these performances earned high praises at competitions, all of the performances were thoroughly enjoyed by the audience in Prairie Place as the dancers showcased their skills, dedication, and love of dance. This year there are only two graduating students from the Carlyle studio, which include Hanah Coffey and Kennedy Turgeon.

Making time for Music:

Teagan Littlechief’s Return to Recording White Bear’s Teagan Littlechief has marked her return to music with a new single, “Hell Bent, Heaven Bound” and a nomination for the Saskatchewan Country Music Award’s Aboriginal Artist of the Year. The 29-year-old singer-songwriter says: “I never really left music, but it has taken a bit of a backseat. I’m a single mom and I work, so I haven’t been able to give it as much time as I’d like.” “Now my son (Gabriel, 5) is a little older, so it’s still busy, but it’s a different kind of busy.” “But I went through a separation and there’s no better way for a performer to deal with something like that than to get it out in music. That’s where ‘Hell Bent, Heaven Bound’ came from.” “I co-wrote it with Terry Fernihough from Ontario. He’s also a songwriter and a performer. I was bringing my son Gabe home from a doctor’s appointment. I had the tune in my head and I just kept singing it until I got home. Terry and I emailed it back and forth and that’s mostly how we wrote it.” “I did rough background on the music, but the lyrics are mostly mine.” Littlechief recorded the single at Calgary’s MCC Recording Studio with producer Johnny Gasparic. “I started recording last fall-in

October 2015,” she says. “I planned to be there for a whole week-Ithought it would take that long. But “Hell Bent, Heaven Bound” was recorded in a day and the single was done in a couple of weeks.” “It’s a gift when that happens. Usually you plan for the worst, but things went so well in the studio, I got a little holiday in.” Littlechief started singing as a child and says that throughout the inevitable ups and downs she has experienced while pursuing a career as a performer, “It’s worth it.” “As a performer, it’s an amazing feeling to know that I have an impact on people. I prefer to play with a band, but no matter where I’m singing, I perform as best I can with the material I have. And it’s such an incredible feeling when I know my performance has touched someone.” “I’ve been at it for quite some time,’ says Littlechief. “I’ve been singing since I was a wee girl and the first time I sang in public, I was about seven or eight years old. I started entering competitions when I was 12 and since then, I’ve been lucky enough to perform in Canada and the States.” One of the most memorable performances she has given was singing the national anthem in front of nearly 36,000 Saskatchewan Roughrider fans last year in Regina.

Singer-songwriter Teagan Littlechief says: “I never really left music... As a performer, it’s an amazing feeling to know that I have an impact on people.

White Bear’s Teagan Littlechief earned a nomination as Aboriginal Artist of the Year by the Saskatchewan Country Music Assocation and has recently released a new single, “Hell Bent, Heaven Bound.” Although the 29-yearold singer-songwriter juggles making music with her role as a working mom, Littlechief says: “It’s time to go full throttle with music again.” Here Littlechief is pictured at the Saskatchewan Country Music Awards, April 23 in Saskatoon. (Photo courtesy of Teagan Littlechief)

“There was a Roughrider anthem contest,” says Littlechief. “I jumped on that and made it right through. That day, I was sitting on the west side of the stadium before I was to sing ‘O Canada.’ When I turned around and saw the number of people who were there, my jaw just dropped.” “It didn’t really hit me until I left the stadium that day. It was a great experience because my stepsonTeegan Redwood-was with me and it was his birthday.” “But when I walked off after my performance, I thought: ‘That’s where I belong. That’s where I want to be.’” “I also opened for Susan Aglukark in Saskatoon,” adds Littlechief. “When I saw Susan at first, I couldn’t stop shaking. But she was so reassuring. She gave me a hug and was so encouraging.” “She’s gorgeous and she’s so down to earth. Her head’s not in the clouds at all.” “The Johner Brothers were like that, too. Good people and down to earth as well.” “I really haven’t had any bad experiences with other artists,” adds Littlechief. “ I like all kinds of music. One of my biggest influences is Selena

(Quintanilla) the Spanish-American singer. I also really like Gretchen Wilson, Celine Dion, ZZ Top, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Led Zeppelin, Guns N’ Roses and Tina Turner.” Littlechief credits her mother, Sarah for exposing her to music. “My mom turned me on to ‘70s and ‘80s rock,” she says. “I never really got into country until I was 13. There was a contest in Yorkton and I sang ‘Sweet Child of Mine’ by Guns N’ Roses for my audition tape.” “I made it through, but they told me I needed to sing country. So I started listening to Alan Jackson and Shania Twain. I ended up singing ‘Poor Me’ by Trick Pony and Martina McBride’s hit, ‘Broken Wing’ and I got a standing ovation.” “Today, I consider myself an alternative country and rock artist and I’m recording original material.” “I’m back to making time for music and I love it. The past 10 months have been a challenge, with motherhood, work and music and I’m trying to juggle bookings, among other things.” “But it’s time to go full-throttle with music again.” For more, check out www.teaganlittlechief.com.

Easing the stigma of mental illness: A teacher’s story Kelly Running Observer Staff

“Oftentimes, it is the person who looks like they have everything together that is suffering,” said a 26-year-old teacher who has been working through Generalized Anxiety Disorder for the past year, although she has been dealing with it, undiagnosed, since she was a small child. “So many people suffer in silence because they are afraid or ashamed. Every single person can help by speaking up about mental illness!” For the week of May 2-8 this is exactly what The Canadian Mental Health Association has developed through Mental Health Week. “We all have mental health, just as we all have physical health,” the Canadian Mental Health Association writes. “Mental health is more than the absence of mental illness. It’s a state of wellbeing.” For the 26-yearold woman her anxiety began manifesting itself physically, socially, and emotionally over time, which created a spiral into depression and continually increasing anxiety. “It was affecting me in a lot of different ways,” she explained. “Physically, I had migraines, digestive problems, dealt with dizziness and nausea, and many panic attacks. It affected me a lot socially and emotionally as well. Everything was so overwhelming for me. Planning to go over to a friend’s house for dinner was like planning for a trip across the world. My brain would obsess over everything from what I would talk about to how I was probably going to die in a car crash on the way there.” “There was just so much to consider all the time. I was often exhausted by the constant racing thoughts going through my head. In order to stop worrying, I would avoid a lot of things. The avoidance just led to depression and more anxiety.” The realization that seeking help in her silent struggle was needed developed in two parts. “The first was after I had met with a group of friends for dinner,” she explained. “One lady, who happened to be one of my former teachers, had talked openly about her experiences and constant struggle with anxiety. After that dinner I was able to think a lot about my own experiences. This lady was smart, extremely kind, hard-working, and someone that I looked up to. She seemed like

she had everything together. It made me realize that mental illness could affect anyone. It kind of took a little bit of the stigma away for me.” “The second turning point was after a day where I was supposed to be preparing things for my students. I had the classroom to myself to prepare for the following week, but I ended up just laying on the classroom floor and was crying for eight hours straight. I had lost all of the remaining motivation that I had left. I wasn’t sleeping, I was hardly eating anymore and I was overwhelmed by everything. Planning for my students seemed like an impossible task and I was really frustrated by that. Teaching was and still is my favourite thing in the world and I got so much joy out of planning, so I couldn’t understand why I would be so worked up over it. It was a breaking point. That night, I decided to reach out to my former teacher for support.” Dealing with anxiety, the idea of opening up to people, even close friends and family was very difficult. “I had those constant irrational thoughts of ‘What if they don’t want to talk to me anymore?’ ‘What if they think I’m just seeking attention?’ etc…” she stated. “I initially reached out to one or two close friends through text message, so that was a little bit easier for me. They were incredibly supportive and willing to listen, so that made it a lot easier!” The decision to seek professional help, however, was the most difficult choice beginning to accept and deal with her anxiety.

“Seeking professional help was probably one of the hardest things for me to do,” she explained. “I already had a fear of going to the doctor, so I didn’t think I was going to be able to do it. I had a lot of encouragement from my support network of friends and family. They were encouraging, but didn’t force me into it. When I finally went I took a family member in with me.” “The first doctor and counsellor were not a good fit and I didn’t open up with them at all. The second doctor was recommended to me and he was amazing. He eased me into opening up over several months of appointments.” The decision to take medication to help with her treatment wasn’t taken lightly either and she had attempted to utilize other tactics in overcoming her anxiety: “I don’t think medication is for everyone, but after trying everything from yoga and meditation to diet changes, I realized that my brain needed help rewiring itself. After a few months of getting adjusted to the medication, my mind calmed down enough for me to utilize various strategies to get my anxiety under control.” “I have a strong support network of friends and family that I can reach out to when I am struggling. I have a lot of tools that I use to maintain wellness as well as tools that I use to help cope on harder days. Everyone is different and so everyone’s strategies will be different…” For her volunteering as a trained listener on 7cups.com (a free site which connects people who need

Mental health is a topic that society is slowly beginning to discuss although stigmas regarding it run deep, which means further discussion and understanding of it is imperative: The Canadian Mental Health Association has therefore named May 2-8, Mental Health Week. someone to talk to, to a trained listener), hiking, guided meditation, working hard to be kind to herself, and utilizing an app called BoosterBuddy which asks the user how they are feeling which then recommends self-care challenges to improve mental health or coping strategies for difficult days. “For me it’s all about creating routines and utilizing daily strategies that help me maintain wellness,” she stated. Getting to this point was trying as the stigmas surrounding mental health were amplified by her anxiety. “I think the biggest stigmas are that people with mental illness are lazy, attention seeking, dangerous, or just making it up,” she explained. “People with mental illness often hear things like, ‘Why don’t you just try and be happy.’ ‘Just exercise and eat better, and you will be fine.’ I think mental illnesses often get dismissed because

they are not physical illnesses that can be seen.” “Think about mental illness the same way that [you] think about a physical illness. It’s not your fault if you have a mental illness, just like it’s not your fault if you have the ﬂu or cancer. Everyone deserves to be healthy and happy and that can only be achieved if those illnesses are treated properly.” For those considering seeking help in dealing with a mental illness, she encourages you to reach out: “It’s worth it! It might seem scary or impossible, but there are so many people willing to help you on your journey. You deserve to feel excited about life.” And for those that someone struggling has come to she says, “First and foremost be willing to listen. If someone reaches out to you, feel privileged that they trust you to take this journey with them! Be supportive and understanding and recognize

that it is an illness; it does not deﬁne who they are as a person. Offer support in any way that you can. That could be accompanying your loved one to a doctor, going for weekly walks, sending little notes of encouragement, helping them problem solve, etc…” “Educating yourself on their mental illness is also a great way to gain a better understanding of what they are going through and how you can help. Lastly, I would say be patient and take care of yourself as well.” “Building a strong support network in the beginning is so important. Reach out to friends and family, or someone who you can trust. If you don’t feel like you can talk to anyone, use help lines and resources like 7cups. com. In the beginning, there are so many days where you feel like giving up or like things will never get better. On these days your support network is what is going to get you through it.”

New session of Legislature to begin May 17 Premier Brad Wall today announced that the first session of the newly-elected Legislative Assembly will begin on Tuesday, May 17 with the election of the Speaker in the morning followed by the Throne Speech that afternoon. Wall said the government will focus on its election commitment to keep Saskatchewan strong. “Earlier this month, Saskatchewan people gave our government a renewed mandate to keep Saskatchewan strong during this challenging time caused by low oil prices,” Wall said. “In the upcoming session, we will focus on doing just that in three key areas: keeping our economy strong, keeping our provincial finances strong and keeping Saskatchewan’s place in Canada strong by always standing up for Saskatchewan’s interests.” Wall said the government is currently working to prepare its legislative agenda and the provincial budget, which will be based on its platform in the recent provincial election. “We made only a few new spending promises during the campaign and we intend to keep those promises,” Wall said. “Obviously, the budget will be tight as we work to keep our provincial finances strong and get back to a balanced budget by 2017. “In terms of legislation, we will be moving forward on our election promise to remove the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority from The Crown Corporation Public Ownership Act. This will enable us to fulfill our promise to convert 40 government-owned liquor stores to private stores and add 12 new private liquor stores.” Wall also announced that the work on the new dome of the Legislative Building is nearing completion and will be unveiled in a public ceremony on Monday, May 16 – the day before the beginning of the new Legislative Session. More details will be announced at a later date. “The new dome represents renewal on the outside of the Legislative Building and the new session will represent renewal within the Legislative Building,” Wall said. “I am looking forward to the new session as our government continues with the work of keeping Saskatchewan strong.”

Quote of the Week . . . Monday reminds me of how important it is to choose a job you love. Life is for living, not for being miserable at work! - Unknown

Smoking is dangerous in more than one way

The other day there was a fire at a house in Swift Current. The Swift Current Fire Department handled it, but the house was completely destroyed and one of the houses beside it also caught fire. Apparently, this is how it happened according to the woman who lived in the house: Kelly Running “Fire inspectors determined the Observer Staff cause of the fire based on eliminating other factors like electrical problems, arson, nobody wanting to harm us, etc… They think it must be accidental, from a spark of a cigarette or something that was exacerbated by the 55 km/hr winds.” She and her daughter were inside, both napping upstairs. Two people they knew happened to be in the neighbourhood attending a garage sale and ran into the house to check if the mom and daughter were home. Those individuals woke the two, grabbed the family dog and a few jackets, and rushed the mother and daughter out of the house. Within four minutes the house was engulfed in flames, absolutely everything they owned was gone. Businesses and many people in the community came together in an attempt to help the family get back on their feet, but despite the replaceable material items there are how many family heirlooms, photo albums, etc… that are gone forever… all because someone potentially flicked a cigarette butt into some dry brush near the house. First off I don’t like smoking in general; cigarette smoke to me is a disgusting smell. I can handle cigar smoke and love the smell of a bonfire, but cigarettes are simply gross to me and usually cause a coughing fit as I walk by… sometimes on purpose I even indulge the coughing fit as a group of cheerleaders at the U of L were outside a set of main doors forcing people to walk through their cloud of smoke to get inside. I was less than impressed, so allowed my coughing to be a little louder than usual. If you smoke fine, but I don’t go and blow bubble gum bubbles in your face so please don’t puff smoke in mine. I will say that the majority of people are considerate and will go downwind from the group they’re with or stand out of the way of main doors to buildings. It’s also associated with lung cancer, which I watched my grandfather pass away from it when I was young. However despite the usual health concerns or not liking the smell, you’ve got something that is literally on fire and you decide to just flick it off into the distance or out the car window, why? There’s an ashtray in your car, you can put it out in there and empty it later or if you want to toss it out the window at least put it out in your ashtray before tossing it. If you’re walking with it, take it a little further and put it out on pavement or wait ‘til you come up to one of those canisters for cigarette butts… especially in such a dry year! We haven’t had any snow and there’s been very little rain, things are dry, especially after a few days of 50 km/hr winds. Pretty much all of Saskatchewan is a tinder box right now and that goes for a fair amount of Canada in general too. So, if you smoke I really don’t care, but please realize that you need to take care. By simply flicking a butt out your window or away while walking there’s a chance it can set a fire and for that family in Swift it almost meant their lives.

Back and forth…and back When author Catherine Ryan Hyde created a young character who takes on a school project about making a change in the world, there was little to indicate it would become a worldwide movement, but indeed it has. The book “Pay it Forward” led to the movie adaptation which has grown to “Pay It Forward Day” now being recognized in 75 countries. Shelley Luedtke The idea is that as people do nice things for us we don’t pay them back but instead do it for someone else, who in turn will pay it forward to someone again, setting off a chain of kindness. The objective is that we be the ones who start the chain. If it hasn’t happened to us personally we likely know someone who has been the recipient of these random acts of kindness; orders being paid for at a drive-thru, coffee and donuts being delivered as a complete surprise, or people finding out medical, grocery or utility bills were paid by an anonymous benefactor. This year Pay it Forward Day is April 28. The question may be posed, “Why isn’t every day pay it forward day?” which of course is what the organization aspires to. But perhaps if people do something on April 28 and realize how simple and fulfilling it is, just maybe they will be motivated to do it again in the days and weeks that follow. The day is a great idea; and this year’s goal of 10 million acts of kindness around the world is admirable, and needed more than ever, to be sure. But as we think about doing kind things for complete strangers it’s interesting to note that some places are looking at how to get more people to care for their very own families. China is looking at legislation requiring offspring to visit their parents and ensure their needs are being met--or face financial penalties. The former one-child policy is having a dramatic impact on the decline of the traditional extended family, leaving many older people neglected, and the country’s leaders are struggling with how to support its 221 million elderly citizens.

The controversial law would require frequent visits and a monthly allowance paid by the child to the parents. But some say this puts too much pressure on those who move away from home for education and work opportunities. As we think about paying it forward, I’m wondering if we should also think about “investing it back”—back into the people who loved and nurtured us, back into those who raised our parents, back into those who sacrificed to give us what we have, those who looked beyond their own needs to build strong communities, and those whose hard work and foundation of values established a way of life for which we are the recipients. Taking care of their physical needs is of course important, but what we really need to do is sit and listen to their stories, to hear the perspective they bring, to be enriched by their storehouse of memories, and to learn from them what has come before and allow it to shape what should come next. I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t listen closely enough. I’d get bored or impatient when talk of “the old days” rolled around my grandparent’s living room. I wish I had paid closer attention and taken more of it in. Yet I did hear enough to pick up on some themes. They put all they had into family. They gave generously. They lived extravagant lives of grace and mercy. They did for others whatever needed doing. There was no need for slogans or movements, it was just instinctual. Their approach to life was to pay it forward. We need to sit and talk…and listen…to those whose life experience and wisdom far exceeds our own. They are the holders of the corporate knowledge of our families and communities, and we should mine that treasure trove before it is too late. Our best lessons are learned from them. If we are motivated to pay it forward and buy a cup of coffee for a stranger, let’s also take one to a senior we know, and devote some time to hearing what they have to say so we know what we are called to do next. The true success of 10 million random of acts of kindness on April 28 is 20 million of the same on April 29. And hopefully as many invest-it-back moments. That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

Is public shaming effective? It’s an amazing thing, how people act towards each other. In Moncton a man, Hugo St. Pierre, who uses a wheelchair decided to videotape violators who park in wheelchair accessible parking sites. He then posted the video of the confrontations online. His exploration of this topic resulted in coming Kelly Running close to serious injury as drivers Observer Staff were angered about being approached. The issue is one that happens everywhere. Many people drive around looking for a spot and notice the vacant wheelchair accessible sites available. Some think they can get away with it, while others simply don’t care what the sign says as nobody is ever parked there anyway. A representative from Ability New Brunswick, Haley Flaro, told Global News, “People using accessible parking [spaces] when they don’t need them can become a safety risk. We have had people with a disability parking in another locations where there is not adequate pathways or curb cuts and have to go behind vehicles. We have seen people injured or get in accidents that way.” For St. Pierre it is disrespectful to the people in need of those spaces: “I need my door to be open a little bit wider and especially for people in a wheelchair that need a lift, that takes a lot of space on the side, people don’t realize that.” Although I ﬁnd it terrible that this is happening and am likely to park as far away from the storefront in a parking lot as possible because I am able, the topic Lynne and I landed on this week is actually public shaming. St. Pierre, videotaped confrontations with individuals and posted it online to shame them. This is a trend which has become quite popular. I hadn’t really thought about it a whole lot before. I’ve seen these shaming videos before. One involved a set up of two people: the one a Caucasian male and the other a man of Middle Eastern decent. The Caucasian male was verbally assaulting the Middle Eastern man, and the idea was to see how people would react. Those conducting the video were surprised by how many told the Caucasian male to back down or stop, while one passerby even started to physically assault the Caucasian male for harassing the Middle Eastern man. The second video that stands out in my mind was of a teenager, again the video was a setup, pretending to be a homeless youth. He was largely ignored by most of society, getting some change here or there, but most overlooked him. As the video rolls, a homeless man comes up to the teenager (who isn’t dressed for the weather and looking rather cold) and gives the boy his jacket. Again the people making the video were surprised by no one really stopping for a shivering youth, except for a homeless man who felt the kid needed the jacket more than he did. Both videos were done to shame those that refused to help and to bring the issue to light of racism and homelessness, much like the shaming of those who park in accessible spaces that don’t actually need to be parked there. Although public shaming isn’t something I condone, I do believe that it does bring attention to issues which people are passionate about and they might make people think about their actions a little bit more. But how can a society come to the point of needing to be publically shamed in the ﬁrst place? Just follow the golden rule, “Do unto others as you would have done unto you.”

Editor’s Note . . . The views expressed in “Seeing things differently” are for discussion purposes and are not necessarily the views of the writers.

Public Shaming Parking Perps A Global TV news report about a disabled Moncton man aired almost a month ago. However, since this is an (ahem) family newspaper, I’ve delayed commenting on it until now, so my boiling blood could return to room temperature and my language would veer on the correct side of colourful. Lynne Bell Hugo St.-Pierre has Observer Staff become so frustrated by ablebodied drivers using designated parking spots reserved for diasbled drivers with permits that he has taken his crusade directly to Moncton’s parking lots and posts the results of his in-person awareness campaign online. And the results aren’t pretty. St.-Pierre-who must use a wheelchair after a 2004 motorcycle accident made him a parapalegic-says the city’s wheelchair-accessible parking spots are continually used by able-bodied drivers who don’t have a permit, telling Global TV’s Shelley Steeves: “It’s an issue I have every day, like every place that I go... I want people to understand it’s not respecting handicap parking (spaces) and handicap people in general.” He adds that accessible parking spots areat least-a foot wider than regular parking spots for a valid reason.

“I need my door to be open a little bit wider and especially for people in a wheelchair that need (to use) a lift, that takes a lot of space on the side, people don’t realize that.” St.-Pierre says he has come close to being injured several times, as his wheelchair is “low” and he’s in danger of cars not seeing him as they back out if he parks alongside them in a regular spot. Sadly, very few people apologize when he approaches them. Instead, they defend the indefensible with varying degrees of rude, antisocial behavior. On the milder end of this continuum, people simply make excuses and/or drive away. At the other end of this shameful scale, St.-Pierrewhose approach is firm, but not at all aggressivehas been sworn at and swung at-with one charming young woman even throwing -count ‘em-two cups of coffee at him from the safety of her SUV. In New Brunswick, fines for parking in a designated wheelchair accessible parking spot can reach $125, which doesn’t seem like much of a deterrent. Shaming via social media isn’t something I’m normally in favour of, but I suspect higher fines may not work with people that are so shockingly self-involved and selfish. Maybe the modern version of medieval stocks in the town square might work, but I’m not entirely optimistic. After all, you can’t fix... oh nevermind...

Panthers Ping Pong find success at provincials

Submitted The Panthers Ping Pong team recently attended the Bronze Provincial School Championships at the Pavillion Gustave Dubois building in Saskatoon The championships ran from Friday, April. 15 and Saturday, April 16. We took a total of eight players ranging from 13-18. This is a big jump from last year when we took three. The results were very positive and impressive, and the players’ hard work really shows. What is really interesting is that this is our second year as a team and there are teams that have been together for many years. Our guys are playing against players who have been training in the sport for many more years than our guys. Our players are hanging in there and playing close games and winning. The Provincial coach Paul Noel was at the tournament and was incredibly impressed with the level of play out of our team. He has said that he was very surprised to see how good the players have gotten in such little time. Paul is putting a team together to represent Saskatchewan at the National Championships in July this year. He has invited Brandt Freitag from our team to take part. We hope Brandt takes part in this incredible opportunity. I think this is a credit to the hard work and eﬀort that these players put into this. The mindset is to try and get better all the time. The only thing that was even more impressive was the positive sportsmanship that these players showed. They represented the club, school and themselves in a mature and positive manner. We had a player come home with medals from many diﬀerent divisions. Brandt Freitag and Dylan Cann are the senior boys, doubles silver medal champions. Zach Eaton won a silver medal in B singles. Ryley Berg won a bronze in B singles. Dylan won gold in the senior B single. Austin Fleck won a bronze in the boys juniors. Overall it was a wonderful experience with some great table tennis.

professional team in any sport. Ever. Now, all the Golden State Warriors have to do is carry on and win the National Basketball Association playoﬀs for the second year in a row, so their regular season for the ages — truly a Golden Age — won’t be all for naught. What a regular season it was! A record of 73-9, one win more than Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls racked up in 1995-96, a record that at the time and over the past 20 years was thought to be unbeatable. But with the brilliant play of Steph Curry — the new face of

the NBA (sorry, LeBron, but you’re so 2014) — the Warriors roared out to a 24-0 start to the season under the guidance of interim coach Luke Walton, and then played hard down the stretch — resisting the urge to rest their stars in preparation for the playoﬀs — to surpass the Bulls’ record. Warriors’ regular coach Steve Kerr returned to the team in January after a halfseason absence due to back surgery and kept the Warriors’ express rolling. Kerr had a front-row seat to both spectacular seasons.

He was a player on the 1995-96 Bulls and pulled all the coaching strings down the stretch as his Warriors won four pressure-packed games in a row to wrap up the season and get the record— including a one-point nailbiter vs. Memphis in Game 80 — after losing Game 78 at home to Minnesota Timberwolves. Curry, as pure a shooter as NBA fans have ever seen, smashed the single-season record for three-point buckets, ﬁnishing with 402 — a whopping 126 ahead of his nearest rival, teammate Klay Thompson. Only six other players managed as many as 200 three-pointers. Thanks primarily to Curry, who in the past year has likely become the most famous athlete in the U.S., the Warriors were must-see TV in 2015-16. Ratings skyrocketed when the Warriors were shown across North America, even in Canada, where Raptors’ ratings were so-so by comparison. The NBA’s power conference is the West, where Golden State and San Antonio Spurs, who lost just 15 games this year, are likely to meet in the ﬁnal.

World-Herald, after Manny Pacquiao announced he is finished with boxing: “It’s unclear if this means he’s retired or going to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. again.” • Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “The 24th-ranked men’s tennis player is an American named Jack Sock. He’s a shoe-in.” • Norman Chad of the Washington Post, on the coaching skills of San Antonio Spurs’ Gregg Popovich: “Popovich not only can win with his guys against your guys or your guys against his guys, but he also can win with any five guys sitting in Five Guys.” • Chad again, on Twitter: “Rex Ryan to introduce Donald Trump at Buffalo rally in First Niagara Center. To accommodate both egos, arena will install retractable roof.” • Greg Cote again, after LeBron James signed a lifetime deal with Nike: “Am picturing LeBron, at 75, pushing Nike’s new line of orthopedic bedroom slippers.” • TC in BC: “Johnny Manziel is being sued for trashing a $4.5 million house that he rented in Los Angeles. The house was actually worth $9M before Johnny moved in for two nights.” • Another one from Cote, on

advertising patches next season on NBA jerseys: “Stadium names being whorred out for revenue is bad enough, but now jersey fronts? What’s next, franchise names? The Burger King Miami Dolphins? How about player names? “And now batting, brought to you by Pepsi-Cola ... Giancarlo Stanton!” • Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “Johnny Manziel has been dumped by his agent. This officially makes Manziel the most disappointing Heisman Trophy winner who has not murdered two people.” • Kaseberg again: “The Boston Marathon was swept by three Ethiopians. ‘This is a shocking, shocking upset,’ said three Kenyans.” • Brad Dickson again: “On the field during spring training the Chicago Cubs cavorted with bear cubs because of their nickname. Let’s hope the Detroit Lions don’t do this.” • Ian Hamilton of the Regina Leader-Post: “A Las Vegas-based gaming company has released its point spreads for the 2016 NFL season and Manziel’s former team — the Cleveland Browns — is listed as an underdog every week. Even the Browns’ bye week is favoured.” Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Jonathan Nicola, a 17-year-old, 6-11 high-school basketball star in Windsor, Ont., turned out to be a 29-year-old refugee from South Sudan. Canadian officials figured something was amiss when they introduced him to Raptors star DeMar DeRozan and Nicola called him ‘kid’.”

The Southeast Vipers participated in exhibition games hosted on Saturday, April 23, by the Weyburn Volleyball Club. Games were played against the WVC 15U and 16U teams as well as the 16U Yorkton Blitz. The girls had fun and enjoyed the competitive practice with local teams. Here Hailee Fleck of Lampman gets a kill, striking the ball between the block against the Weyburn 15U team.

Although the salon owners (Briana DeRoo in the middle and Taylene Bourgon on the right) thought this particular individual (Madison Wilson) wanted her eyebrows waxed and shaped, they were very wrong, she simply needed her bangs trimmed as they were always getting in her eyes. Kelly Running Observer Staff

It was a night of laughter and fundraising with the Wawota Acting Company performing on Sunday, April 24. The 10th anniversary of the Wawota Acting Company was well attended and for a good cause, as the silver collection at the door is a fundraiser for World Vision. The evening began with a short skit titled, “New Look Beauty Salon,” which sees the salon owners played by Taylene Bourgon and Briana DeRoo

were quite funny especially when realizing things weren’t going as planned with the old lady’s hair. The old lady was played by Hannah Pilloud who was very convincing in her part, happy to have a new hairdo even though she left the salon not knowing what she looked like with the salon owners “accidentally” stepping on her glasses to avoid the old lady realizing they turned her hair green! A teen, played by Madison Wilson, then walks into the shop looking to have her bangs trimmed to get

them out of her eyes… although the only thing the salon owners seem to see are the teen’s very bushy eyebrows. The next performance titled, “Miss Louisa and the Outlaws” brought a lot of laughs to the audience who enjoyed a strict school teacher keeping two outlaws in line after bursting into her classroom. Miss Louisa was played by Lauren Wilson, who graduates this year, but has been involved with the Wawota Acting Company for the past seven years. She was joined on-stage

Miss Louisa (far right played by Jessica Oliver) is such a strict teacher she kept the peace and even forced two outlaws into participating in a school spelling bee. Here one of the outlaws, Benny (Kelton Ford) tries spelling the word “thief” as Margaret (Hannah Pilloud, far left) and William (Madison Wilson, second from left) anticipate his answer as Benny struggles. As Miss Louisa teaches her pupils about being brave and courageous through a lesson on Paul Revere two boisterous outlaws burst into the schoolhouse planning to wait for a train which they would stowaway on inside the school. They weren’t ready for Miss Louisa, however, who soon as them wiping their muddy feet at the door, participating in a spelling bee, and missing their train as the Sheriﬀ appears.

The final performance of the evening was titled “Dental Dilemma,” which involved six of the original cast from five years ago when it was first performed. The audience laughed through the performance and again when the video from five years ago, when the performers were mostly in grade six was shown. Reed VanDresar performed the part of Dr. Paine, the dentist. Melanie Mason, his administrative assistant, was performed by Skylar DeRoo. Mr. Frost was played by Parker Weatherald, while the elderly Miss Amos was performed by Marissa Charles who hilariously entered. As she walked she forced her walker out as far as she could

weeks I have read 6 books! Every now and then I have these urges and afterwards I slowed down on my reading. I am trying to read some of the classics in between more current books. Recently I read, “The Scarlet Letter”, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Although it was only 215 pages, it took me 4 days to read it. It was an interesting story but as it was written in Olde English , it was hard to understand some of it. It takes place in Salem, Mass. where Hester Prynne has been accused of adultery and has to wear a gold embroidered “A” on her breast. She never reveals who her lover is . She lives in Salem and is raising her young daughter, Pearl when her husband, who was thought to be lost at sea, shows up. From this time on her secret is not safe.

INFERNO® DUO DELIVERS A DOUBLE-BARREL BURNDOWN SOLUTION TO PROBLEM WEEDS. Tough broadleaves and flushing grassy weeds in spring wheat have met their match. INFERNO® DUO Herbicide from Arysta LifeScience goes to work with both barrels blazing, as two active ingredients work together with glyphosate to deliver added benefit on target broadleaf and grass weeds.

“In the past, spring wheat growers had to choose between investing in either a grassy weed product or sticking with a broadleaf-only product like Express® or PrePass with their glyphosate burndown. Now with INFERNO DUO, they don’t have to choose,” says Trent McCrea, Arysta LifeScience marketing manager, herbicides.

NO BURNDOWN PRODUCT IS MORE RUTHLESS INFERNO DUO combines the enhanced broadleaf activity of tribenuron (the same active ingredient in Express®) with the broadleaf and longer-lasting soil activity on grasses of flucarbazone. “INFERNO DUO with glyphosate gets control of hard-to-kill weeds like dandelion, hawk’s beard, foxtail barley* and Roundup Ready® canola, while providing longer lasting residual control of grassy weeds like flushing wild oats** and green foxtail,” says Joel Carpenter of Precision Ag Services Ltd.

AND FOR BROADLEAVES ONLY, THERE’S INFERNO Arysta LifeScience is also offering an alternative burndown product to Express. Growers can boost their glyphosate performance on weeds like volunteer Roundup Ready canola and more, by adding INFERNO Herbicide in an equivalent high-quality WDG formulation.

Alida News Submitted by Edel Cowan

Ernest and Dianne Lemieux spent from April 17 – 20 in Lloydminster, AB visiting with their son Michael, Lynsey and family. While there they also helped grandson Carter celebrate his 4th birthday. Sincere sympathy is extended to Dianne (Ernest) Lemieux and Kathleen (Alan) Arthur on the death of their brother Harvey Sorensen of Deloraine MB who passed away with family at his side at Brandon General Hospital on April 23, 2016. He lost a seven week battle with inﬂuenza and then double pneumonia. Condolences are also extended to other members of the Sorensen family. Funeral info at this time are still pending.

Kelsey continues to hold Yoga classes here in Alida every Wednesday evening. I’m so looking forward to seeing the dance recital

on Sunday, May 1 to be held at the school auditorium. It is our granddaughter’s first recital, so I think we are just as excited as she is – Can’t wait. Also don’t forget if you are looking to book a campsite at the Moose Creek Regional Park – their lottery for onsite bookings is on Sunday, May 1, phone in reservations begin May 2. We still have one wild turkey hen that is hanging around the farm yard. You’ll see her striding along among the trees surrounding our yard, into the pasture and even in the ditch near the main road to our farm. She does have a nest somewhere nearby as unfortunately Gray has found an egg that has been broken and eaten, so something has found it and is helping itself to a quick snack. Hopefully we’ll see some little turkeys around sometime, but doesn’t look promising as whatever has found the nest now knows where it is. Such is the way with nature. Have you been watching hockey? Over the past weekend saw the semi and final games of the 2016 llHF U-18 Hockey Championship held in Grand Forks, ND. Canada lost their semi-final against Sweden in a shootout. They then played for the bronze medal against USA which they lost 10-3 – it seemed as if they

really lost heart in this game. Next year fellas! Some of the farmers around here are now in the fields beginning their seeding – peas etc. Here the men have been out harrowing getting themselves all geared up to roll out soon. Although I figure it’s a little too early yet, but then what do I know – just that the weekend weather was mighty cold with that strong wind blowing. Nice to see the bright sun shining again can sure use the heat to really get things growing. We are on the last week of April now and haven’t seen much rain showers in our area (farmers are happy about that) yet to bring on the May flowers! Oh well I’m sure that they will come. Noticed my rhubarb plant is starting to peek through the ground. Hubby has even worked up my garden. Now that’s a first to have it worked up before they were in the field (always had to wait my turn) – things must be looking up. Now I can get out my seeds and see what new ones are needed. Once again folks please remember to report to me by phone (306-443-2496), or text (306-485-8561) or e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel.net) with your news. I do appreciate your help. Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and Take care.

Water is critical on this planet

By Calvin Daniels When it comes to agriculture and for that matter life in general as we know it on this planet, water is critical. So as a farm writer and as a citizen in general, I attended the recent Saskatchewan Association of Watersheds Conference held in Yorkton. Increasingly we hear about futurists with a less than glowing vision of our future talking about wars over not religion, not over territory, not over oil, but instead over water. Whether that dark scenario will come to pass will of course only be determined by history, but the mere consideration of such an eventuality speaks to the obvious importance of water. A bit more in the now of course are recent situations which have brought how great an impact a disruption in water can have. Closest to home there was the 2001 situation in North Battleford when 700 people became ill after

drinking tap water contaminated with a parasite. A year earlier, in 2000, seven people died, and more than 2,300 became ill, in Walkerton, SK., when E. coli contaminated the water supply. You might think those twin incidents would have sent up the red ﬂag, and such problems would not still be an issue. But, it is. Jump ahead a bit more than a decade to Flint, Michigan in 2014. After Flint changed its water source from treated Detroit Water and Sewerage Department water (which was sourced from Lake Huron as well as the Detroit River) to the Flint River (to which ofﬁcials had failed to apply corrosion inhibitors), its drinking water had a series of problems that culminated with lead contamination, creating a serious public health danger. Of course water can have an impact on a far larger scale too. The drought in California has made headlines of course, and while no one wanted to see such an event, it has made a broader cross-section of people in North America aware of exactly the impact a lack of rain can have. In Saskatchewan that of course is something we are still aware of given the history on the drought

Environment debate needs reason By Murray Mandryk Somewhere, reasonability can always be found in political debate. Unfortunately when it comes to issues like the environment, it wasn’t to be found on the ﬂoor of last month’s federal NDP convention where delegates debated the leap manifesto that promotes an end to oil infrastructure projects and stops just short of demanding oil remain in the ground and that we end all forms of large scale agriculture. But does that necessarily mean the answers can then be found on rural Saskatchewan’s coﬀee row? Or are the answers to be found in the partisan press releases we are seeing from government

of the 1930s. Yes the same drought hit the United States — The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck became famous because of it — but perhaps because we are still closer to agriculture we seem more intune with that era than California did before the reoccurrence of drought. Of course too much rain can be just as dramatic in its effect as drought. Saskatchewan has been hit twice in less than a decade with huge rain events which have caused widespread damage to farm fields and urban homes. And therein lies one of the core truths of the issue of water it is an issue which must be of importance to everyone. The broader society / government have to put water protection at the top of any list dealing with environmental protection because we are already keenly aware of what source water contamination can cause. That is why the Saskatchewan Association of Watersheds, and the regional watershed authorities under the SAW umbrella, are so important. They are effectively the bridge between the on-theground reality of water management, and government, and while those connections may require strengthening, there is a conduit for water policy to be created, implemented and monitored.

caucus condemning all aspects of the leap manifesto debate as unworthy of consideration? The thought crosses one’s mind not only in the wake of the radical leap manifesto but also in the partisan reaction from the NDP’s opponents. Before we venture too far down this road, however, let us acknowledge that reasonability is seldom found smack dab in the middle. And given the uncompromising tone of the leap manifesto, it seems its proponents care little about compromise. After all, is it reasonable to believe locally produced agriculture production is viable in a world where large-scale grain, oilseed and livestock operations struggle to make a go of it? Is it reasonable to stop pipelines as a means of transporting oil natural gas and other petroleum products throughout North America when the alternative is the risk of another Lac Megantic disaster? Is it even reasonable to think that this will shutdown the oilsands or that we can wean ourselves oﬀ fossil fuels by the middle of the century? And most importantly of all, are any of

these lofty goals worth the price of thousands upon thousands of loss jobs in the oil sector? But does that mean we ignore all aspects of this debate … or, worse yet, deliberately misinterpret the views of locally elected New Democrats? For starters, all the federal NDP agreed to do is debate it at the constituency level. This is a far cry from adopting it as party policy, especially at the NDP provincial level in Alberta and Saskatchewan where the leap manifesto is opposed. Yes, even Saskatchewan’s NDP caucus opposes it, this, notwithstanding NDP MLA Cathy Sproule’s support of the motion so that it could be voted at the NDP constituency level. In fact, Sproule said in an interview she personally opposes aspects of leap manifesto prohibiting pipeline development, ending large-scale farming and keeping oil in the ground. Of course, that may cause one to wonder exactly what is that Sproule supports … other than notion that we should have a debate. Also, Sproule has promoted the phasing out of electrical-powered coal. But if a meaningful environmental debate is

what Sproule wants, is that really a problem? Contrast this with what we saw in a recent Sask. Party caucus news release put out on behalf of new Estevan MLA Lori Carr. In that release, Carr said “the NDP want to shut down our province’s oil and coal industries.” “It makes you wonder where the NDP’s priorities are,” Carr said. “Why is the NDP’s Finance critic actively working against jobs in our province?” Well, she isn’t. In fact, as a ﬁnancial critic, Sproule actually has legitimate reason to ask why a debt-plagued Sask. Party government has already spent $1.5 billion for a clean coal scrubber in Carr’s Estevan riding that hasn’t exactly worked. If we can’t make clean coal viable, shouldn’t be debating whether it’s still viable? Wasn’t phasing out coal-generated electricity also what the former Progressive Conservatives in Alberta were promoting long before the arrival of that province’s NDP government? Clearly, there isn’t much middle ground in the Leap Manifesto. But does that mean we ignore all environmental issues it touches?

The posters were judged on the accuracy of the student’s knowledge and understanding of our water resources and wildlife, the demonstration of an appreciation of water, the Lower Souris Watershed ecosystem and general artistic ability. The theme of this contest fits well with the Science curriculums. Some of the components that the students learn include Saskatchewan’s natural resources, the water cycle, impacts of humans on the environment, ecosystems, developing a responsibility for the preservation of the ecosphere and recognizing the role that humans play in protecting or destroying ecosystems. Karmen Kyle, Group Plan Advisor with the Lower Souris Watershed Committee, presented the winners with their prizes at Redvers School on Friday April 11. Congratulations to the winners. 1st place – Carson Dangstorp ($100), 2nd place – Hillary Matthewson ($50), and 3rd place – Jenna Tinant ($25). Carson’s poster was then judged at the annual Saskatchewan Association of Watersheds Conference in Yorkton against

the winners from each watershed across the province. They all had a chance to win the grand prize of a $1000 Cabela’s gift card. Congratulations to Carson for making it into the top 4 across the province! Also, congratulations to all of the students for doing an excellent job expressing their knowledge and interest in water, wildlife and the Lower Souris Watershed ecosystem. 16044SS3

OBITUARIES Lorne Clarence Brownell Lorne Clarence Brownell was born on the family farm south of Ryerson on the NW 4-9-31 W1st on April 16th, 1935; the eldest son of Clarence and Ruth Brownell. He had three siblings, Grace Helen and Frank. Lorne went to grade school attending Hutton School southwest of home a 2 ½ mile walk or horseback ride. During his school years he would go early and light the wood stove and bring in wood and water. He completed grade eight and decided to leave school and begin his farming career. He loved to farm. In his early farming years he worked on threshing crews first stooking and by the time he was 14 had his own team hauling sheaves back to the machine. He came home from threshing one day and his mother asked him how the day went. He said that he would never work with a guy again that wore a big hat or smoked a pipe. When asked why he said it he said it had been windy that day and every time he looked over, the guy was either chasing his hat or trying to light his pipe. Dad did have a sense of humor. Threshing was hard work but he loved it because he got to be around horses. Lorne loved horses, the bigger the better especially the teams. Dad and Clarence broke many teams for threshing crews. They had one team broke well enough that they would head back to the machine without a driver. His love of horses stayed with him right until the day he passed as he had spent that day at Brandon fair watching the four and six horse hitches. On May 21st, 1960, Lorne married the love of his life Grace Margaret Seale in Dauphin, MB. Lorne bought the N ½ of 33-8-31 just south of his dad’s farm and Lorne and Grace settled there. Together they began a life by milking cows, shipping cream, raising beef cows, a few pigs, some grain and of course horses. Dad always had a team for chores. In 1966, they adopted a son Stephen and in 1969 adopted a daughter, the self-proclaimed better of the pair, Sharen. Lorne and Grace continued farming, raising a family until 1994 when they decided to move to town and semi retire. Dad still came to the farm regularly and helped out anywhere he was needed. He liked nothing better than working with cattle or hogs and spent many hours on the tractor. In 1999 Lorne suffered a major heart attack that really slowed him down but never stopped him. The Dr.’s told him it was bad enough that he may only have a couple years left. Boy, did he prove them wrong. Lorne loved to visit. The coffee pot was always on and he always had time to talk. Mom and dad were always inviting people over and growing up, the house always seemed to be full. Lorne also liked to go for a drive and depending who was with him, these drives were more like trips. I can remember a few of them ending up out by Regina or Winnipeg if he found something he wanted to see. He always seemed to make it home by night somehow. Lorne loved people. If you went somewhere with him and stopped anywhere he would find someone to talk to and if he ever saw them again he would remember their name and where they were from and usually what they did for a living. In 2002 the Lord took his love Grace to heaven after a lengthy battle with cancer. I was amazed watching him look after mom during those dark days. He would sit with her for hours and do whatever it took to make her more comfortable. With his health failing, he decided in 2011 to sell his house and move into Redvers Union Estates, a new condo development just up the street from the house he was living in. He was a little hesitant at first but with time he loved it. He would say it was just like having another family, always had someone to talk to or have coffee with. Lorne has a very strong faith in the Lord and accepted him as his savior at a young age. He was a member of the Gidieon’s and helped start a church in Redvers in the 1990’s. Lorne always had a strong sense of family. He kept track of all the relatives with phone calls or trips out to see them. He remembered all their birthdays, anniversaries or any other important dates in their lives. Lorne is a proud grandfather to five precious grandchildren: Aimee, Kyle, Justin, Haley and Owen. He loved these young ones and I’ve been told many times by his neighbors in the condo that he talked proudly about their accomplishments. He loved to go to their events or have them stop by for a visit. Lorne was predeceased by his father Clarence in 1983; mother Ruth in 1988; father in law John in 1987; brother Frank in 1993; sister Helen in 1998; brother in law Don in 1999 and sister in law Betty Seale in 2009. Lorne is survived by his son Stephen (Tania) of Redvers; his daughter Sharen (Richard) Hogarth of Moosomin; sister Grace (Sig) Schuster of Calgary; brother in law Ross Seale of Lloydminster; brother in law Wyman Seale of Yorkton; brother in law Bob (Eleanor) Seale of Moose Jaw and sister in law Mary (Rudy) Mula of Lower Saxville, NS; his grandchildren, Aimee, Kyle, Justin, Haley and Owen and many nieces, nephews, extended family and many many friends. Lorne went to be with his Lord and beloved Grace on April 1st, 2016. I am very proud to be able to call Lorne my dad, he was a simple man that tried to instill simple values in his family. Family was the most important thing in Dad’s life, he would do anything for them and was always so proud of them. Dad once told me when I was growing up that when you get up in the morning, try to treat everyone the way you would like to be treated and you can go to bed that night with no regrets. Love you Dad. A funeral service took place on Thursday, April 7th, 2016 at 2:00 P.M. at Maryfield Associated Gospel Church with Pastor Hans Elgby, officiating. Interment was in Redvers Cemetery. If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, in memory of Lorne. Please e-mail or sign the online book of condolences at www.carscaddenfuneralchapel.com. Arrangements entrusted to: G.R. Carscadden Funeral Chapel, Moosomin. Thank you so much to everyone for the cards, phone calls, food, hugs and flowers sent to us when our Dad and Grandpa, Lorne Brownell, passed away. Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated.
