The community of Kisbey celebrated Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s record-breaking reign with a ceremony and celebratory lunch for over 100 people at the village’s recreation centre on Wednesday, Sept. 9.

The Queen became the longest reigning monarch in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth on Sept. 9, surpassing the record set by Queen Victoria who ruled from 1837 to 1901. The Queen surpassed her great-greatgrandmother’s reign of 23,226 days, 16 hours and approximately 30 minutes on Sept. 9 at 5:30 British standard time.

Verna Reed of Kisbey’s Fern Rebekah Lodge says, “The Monarchist League of Canada asked communities if they would like to hold an event to celebrate this occasion. The Village of Kisbey asked the Rebekahs if we would help out and we said ‘Why not?’”

“We’re more than thrilled with the turnout today, especially with harvest and everything.”

Fellow Rebekah and Noble Grand of the Fern Rebekah Lodge, Charlotte Hookenson says, “We started planning it in August. It’s a community event and we’re not only happy with the people that have come out from our local area of Kisbey and Arcola. We also have people here from Carlyle, Estevan, Kennedy, Kipling, Manor, Redvers and Stoughton.”

“She’s been my only Queen and I remember her coronation and standing by the flagpole growing up. She’s the only Queen many of us have ever known.”

Member of Parliament Ed Komarnicki was one of the dignitaries in attendance at Kisbey’s celebration of Her Majesty the Queen’s record-breaking reign on Wednesday, Sept. 9. Komarnicki was the guest speaker and said, “It’s very special and unique to have a smaller community put on such a marvellous event. Hats off to the community of Kisbey and to the Fern Rebekah Lodge #33 for marking such a historic occasion.”

Kisbey Mayor Kalvin Nankivell started the ceremony by reading the proclamation from the Village of Kisbey paying tribute to the Queen’s record-breaking reign.

Reeve of Brock No. 64, Paul Cameron said the oath of allegiance to the Queen.

During his prayer, Arcola/Kisbey United Church minister, Rev. Koshy David said, “ Though we are different, we are united. We have settled here and we remember the life and contribution of the Queen and her long life and wisdom.”

Hookenson read the Queen’s reply to a message sent to her on behalf of the Kisbey community, as well the reply from the office of Her Majesty’s private secretary, stating “The Queen has asked me to send her best wishes to you.”

Guest speaker Ed Komarnicki, Member of Parliament for Souris-Moose Mountain, said, “The Queen is that calm, still voice, that anchor in a turbulent world. Her Majesty has seen a lot of changes-TV was new at the beginning of her reign and she was the first monarch to send an email and a tweet. There have been

“It’s very special and unique to have a smaller community put on such a marvellous event. Hats off to the community of Kisbey and to the Fern Rebekah Lodge #33 for putting on such a historic occasion.”

Komarnicki also joked about the number of festive hats in the room and how Irene Doty of Carlyle-who loaned her festive hat collection- made a special effort to match hats to the colour of each woman’s outfit. “I was a little worried they’d make me wear one and match it to my tie,” he laughed. “But seriously, Kisbey is making some history here with this marvellous celebration.”

Doty said she was delighted to be a part of the event.

“I brought 75 hats,” she said. “And I find this awesome that such a small group of ladies from the Rebekahs put on something so memorable.”

Pianist Janelle David agreed. “It was a really unique experience and I’m so glad I got to be a part of it.”

“It’s great to honour the Queen,” added Crystal Cutler of Arcola. “It’s not every day you get to wear a hat and have tea.”

Winnipeg filmed and produced movie closes season at Prairie Dog Drive-In Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Prairie Dog Drive-In enjoyed another successful season this summer having held their final movie on Friday, Sept. 11.

The movie which closed the season was the same one to have opened it: Dark Forest. Two members of Zell-Koj Studio of Winnipeg who created and produced the film attended the Prairie Dog’s showing of the movie.

One of the producers, David Zellis, who focused on raising the funds for the movie, organizing the shoots, and now marketing the production was around as was Craig Guiboche the movie’s cinematographer, editor, and post-production of the film.

The Observer had the opportunity to speak with Zellis and Guiboche in how Dark Forest came to be.

After having spent numerous years in the film industry in various forms, four people including Zellis and Guiboche, along with Shelley Anthis (producer and casting director) and Roger Boyer (director) came together to compete in CineCoup – a competition to help indie filmmakers develop, market, and produce feature films.

Film trailers that reach the top five in the competition, they are shown at the Banff Media Festival, while the trailer that receives first is funded and shown in Cineplex theatres.

Although they didn’t crack the top ten in CineCoup with their trailer for Dark Forest, they did decide to continue following their dreams and pursue the film regardless.

Out of the approximately one hundred trailers submitted to CineCoup, Dark Forest is one of the only films to actually come to fruition, other than the winner of the 2013 contest, Wolfcop.

“It kind of changed as we were making it,” Zellis explained. “But it’s a horror film with a female lead.”

“Roger Boyer the director takes a minimalistic approach,” Guiboche said. “Horror/slasher films are usually minimalistic, a killer in the woods doesn’t require a large budget.”

The music and picture was influenced by John Carpenter’s style of films, which includes the famous horror film, Halloween.

The film score was created by James Hofer, who set the mood accordingly, creating great suspense.

The story follows Emily, a young woman in an abusive relationship. She decides to plan a camping trip with her best friends and sneaks away for the

Ray and Francis Boutin happily hosted Craig Guiboche and David Zellis at the Prairie Dog DriveIn. Guiboche and Zellis were part of the Winnipeg team which created and produced, Dark Forest, an independent film by Zell-Koj Studio. The pair were excited to be watching their film at a drivein because “We’re very grateful for Ray to take a chance on our movie,” Zellis added, “the drive-in experience is awesome, we grew up in them, and it’s the perfect place to show our film because it’s an 80s style horror film.” weekend. Her boyfriend, Peter, becomes furious and tracks her down in the woods, killing anyone who gets in his way.

“We’re very grateful for Ray to take a chance on our movie,” Zellis added, “the drive-in experience is awesome, we grew up in them, and it’s the perfect place to show our film because it’s an 80s style horror film.”

The two explained that Winnipeg has a fairly involved film industry and a lot of the productions based in Winnipeg are co-productions with larger companies.

“This is what makes our film unique; it’s 100 percent Canadian made, all of the cast and crew are from Winnipeg,” Guiboche said.

It was filmed near Teulon, MB, and was shot on a $5,000 budget.

“We did take it to a Los Angeles market/sales distributor who has contacts at theatres, there was interest but it wasn’t picked up, so we became the distributors by default,” Zellis said. “We’re doing the work now and trying to spark interest in a distributor, which is why we’re so appreciative of

people like Ray [Boutin] who take a chance on us.”

“The guys showed up and I admired their persistence and entrepreneurialism,” Boutin explained. “We opened the summer with it and now we’ve closed the season.”

“They sought us out and presented us with an opportunity, so we seized it. It’s very good, I applaud how well it’s done, for a $5,000 budget it is very well done. It’s not my genre even, but I found it very entertaining and the fact that it is a group of young people, Canadian made following their dreams, you’ve got to encourage that.”

Although Zell-Koj Studio is in its infancy, they have further plans surrounding Dark Forest, which are focused on creating DVD and Bluerays, as well as potentially finding a full Canadian release across the country.

They plan to further pursue their dreams with a second movie which they are looking to find funding for called, “Frackin’ Zombies!” This movie made it into the top 10 of CineCoup this past year and although didn’t win is promising. Guiboche is hopeful they will begin filming next year and be able to release it soon after.

Last year Riley Raynard of Lampman took first place in the Hobby Stock feature and is presented with the trophy by Derrick Big Eagle, one of the organizers.

In action from last year’s races Leevi Runge and Karen Parachoniak battle during one of the preliminary Hobby Stock heats. This year Flyin’ High at the Eagle Showdown will be hosted on Saturday, Sept. 26.

It’s that time of year again; the annual Flyin’ High at the Eagle Showdown presented by Eagle Motorsports and Joey Galloway Racing, is entering its 5th year on Saturday, Sept. 26, and is set to bring the thrills once again, while featuring local racers from the southeast.

Derrick Big Eagle first designed and built the race track after selling his herd of buffalo, the land was left open and Big Eagle wanted to create something he and his family could enjoy, which evolved into a place for other local community members to enjoy as well.

Big Eagles’ sons Masen and Jett quickly fell in love with racing and quickly the Big Eagles found themselves involved with a racing community.

Thinking bigger, Big Eagle realized that he could bring together this racing community in Manor and create an event of high entertainment value.

The event has grown over the

years and Big Eagle has turned it into a large fundraising event for the Manor Fire Department.

This year the action begins with hot laps at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept.

26, which will be followed by the featured racing beginning at 2:30 p.m. There will be Hobby Stock, Street Stock, Sport Modified, and Late Model features.

Entry admission for spectators is $10 at the gate, while kids aged six and under are free.

This year Big Eagle has decided to bring back the Show & Shine, which will begin at noon on the grounds.

A cabaret is being hosted following the races at 8 p.m. and will feature the band Ten Mile High. To attend the cabaret one must be of the age of majority and tickets are $10.

There are camping sites available, but there is no power or sewer at them.

Arcola friends receive Governor General’s award for bravery Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Just over a year ago, a group of friends from Arcola found a typical game of war transformed into a dramatic rescue of one of their own, resulting in six young men receiving Certificates of Commendation from the Governor General of Canada for “an act of great merit in providing assistance to others in a selfless manner in Arcola, Saskatchewan, on September 12, 2014.”

Brady Bell, 13, Connor Bryce, 13, Tucker Eaton, 12, Austin Fleck, 13, Jaron Johnston, 12 and Seth Petzel, 12-received the commendation after helping their friend-and Jaron’s brother, Mason Johnston, 13-emerge safely from an abandoned well he had fallen into.

The boys’ feat came to the attention of Governor General David Johnston’s office via a letter from the Johnston brothers’ great-grandmother, Marjorie Askin of Arcola.

“We are so proud we just had to do it,” she says. “And even though Mason didn’t receive official recognition, he kept his head and warned the other boys right away so they wouldn’t fall in the well, either.”

Marjorie’s husband and the Johnstons’ greatgrandfather, Bud Askin agrees.

“We’re very proud of all of the boys. We’re both so proud and to save Mason’s life....well, they’re real friends. The way they all acted in that situation-including Mason-makes us so proud of how they are growing up.”

On Sept. 12, 2014, the seven friends were exploring and playing a game with their airsoft guns on a farmsite outside of Arcola.

“They were playing a game of airsoft wars,” says Jaron and Mason’s mother, Carrie. “They were hiding and trying to find each other, kind of like ‘Mantracker.’”

“Mason was wearing a full ghillie suit and eye protection. The suit is designed for hunting and for camouflage. It’s pretty heavy and Mason’s had stuff hanging off it, so it would blend in with the vegetation. He also had a big (airsoft) sniper rifle that he

bought with his own money. He was supposed to be the sniper in their game, so everybody was hiding from him, in old buildings and all around the farm.

Nobody was supposed to know where he was.” “(Mason) ran behind a tree with the intention of hiding there and he stepped on a rotten piece of wood. It was like a trap door and he fell down about 20 to 30 feet into an old well.”

Jeremy Johnston is pictured with his sons, Jaron and Mason. He and his wife, Carrie filled in the old well which had trapped Mason.

“There was water in the bottom, but we were so lucky, because if the weather during previous years had been different, the well could have been 100 to 200 feet deep, depending on precipitation.” “ There was old brick inside the well, so we’re

On September 12, 2014 six young men from Arcola came to the aid of one of their friends, Mason Johnston. As a result, they have received Certificates of Commendation from the Governor General of Canada. The Governor General’s office stated: “Your selfless actions are an inspiration to others, and represent a high form of citizenship of which you should be very proud.” Pictured (l-r) are: Brady Bell, Seth Petzel, Austin Fleck, Mason Johnston, Connor Bryce, Jaron Johnston and Tucker Eaton.

lucky he didn’t hit his head. He used his sniper rifle to brace himself and he managed to get his ghillie suit off, because it was heavy and getting wet, too.”

“The kids couldn’t hear him at first, but he as he was yelling to let him know where he was, he also had the presence of mind to warn them that there was a well and told them not to come running, even though he must have still been in a state of shock to find himself 20 or 30 feet down a well that he hadn’t even known was there.”

Mason’s friends got a RZR side-by-side with a winch on the front and got the winch down the well. Even though the metal cable was thin, Mason held on with his bare hands, saying: “I wasn’t letting go.”

“We were in the middle of our war (game),” says Tucker Eaton. “When we first heard him yelling, I thought he was trying to draw us out to shoot us. It went on for a while and I thought ‘This is getting annoying.’”

“We were all in the (abandoned) house,” adds Seth Petzel. “Me, Jaron, Tucker. We heard screaming and we didn’t know what it was until we heard (Mason) yelling, ‘I’m in the well.’”

“The yard had old buildings. We’ve looked around all day before and couldn’t find anybody,” adds Austin Fleck. “Our team was hiding in the barn loft. Connor and Seth found Mason down a well screaming.”

“We came down and saw Mason in the well and we’re all searching for ideas. And then we remembered the winch on the RZR. Austin drove it and I ran the winch,” says Brady Bell.

“We dropped the winch down,” says Connor Bryce. “Jaron grabbed ahold of it and me and Austin held him by his arms...”

“We were surprised; it just happened so quick,” says Brady Bell. “It might have only taken 10 minutes, but it’s really hard to tell. We weren’t really focusing on the time; we were just trying to get him out of the well.”

“We took him to Austin’s house,” says Jaron Johnston. “It was the closest place and he got wrapped up in a blanket. But he was mad about losing his gun down the well.”

Mason Johnston says he is grateful to his friends and recounts his own admirable calm under pressure.

“I’m glad they got me out,” he says. “When I left to hide behind that tree, I hit an old piece of plywood and it must have only been about 10 seconds until I fell down.”

“I could feel the water come up, so I rested my back against the wall and my feet on the other side.

I knew I had to get my ghillie suit off, because it was heavy and it was starting to get wet.”

“I started yelling for help; but I also warned them about the well. I didn’t want any of the other guys to fall in, too.”

“I’m proud of everything all of the boys did, including Mason,” says Jaron and Mason’s father, Jeremy Johnston. “They’re good learners. They can think on the spot.”

“He’s a survivor,” says Mason’s mother, Carrie.

“I’m so grateful for so many things: that he didn’t hit his head, that he was able to stay calm under such pressure, that the boys heard him and that he’s okay.”

Although life has returned to normal for the boys, Carrie says: “It’s still with (Mason). It’s still with all of us. It’s upsetting to think about what could have happened. We went back just to see it again and Jeremy and I took a load of gravel and filled in the well.”

“These boys were already good friends and this has just made that friendship stronger,” she adds.

“I know Mason would have done the same thing for anyone. They all would.”

“I’m proud of them all,” says Bud Askin. “They catch on to a lot of things, just by observing and this proves it.”

“They’re friends, really good friends. And they’re good people, too.”

“I really like the idea of a story slam,” adds Power. “People just get up on a stage and tell a five to 10 minute story about themselves. Once I saw the Nun, it knew it was a natural setting for our podcast.”

“I only found out about this place about six weeks ago,” says Power. “SaskCulture had a meeting here and I thought ‘I have to come back here.’”

“It’s a fantastic place and it’s got a top-notch menu. It really is impressive.”

A native of Nova Scotia, Power-also an actor and singer-has appeared in the Canadian productions of Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera; as well as CBC’s The Border.

“I appeared in the first season of Suits, but I died,” he laughs.

“Now my job is to go out and meet people and tell their stories,” he says. “I’ve talked to people from ages six to 102.”

“People are often reluctant at first, but I spend hours editing and I promise, I’ll make you sound like a million bucks.”

Power began the broadcast with a few stories of his own-one of which was an account of the challenges of growing up gay in small-town Nova Scotia; along with a story of his encounter with an empathetic teacher who “literally saved my life,” complete with a heartwarming twist.

Teacher Joan Bue of Carlyle gave an empathetic reading of the poem, The First Day of School, “by my favourite poet, Canadian Sheree Fitch.”

Bue’s husband, Shannon Klatt, spoke from the heart with a tale of daring to be different that intersected the worlds of theatre and romantic love, telling the audience: “Don’t be afraid to go out and do things. You never know how it’s going to go. If I hadn’t done something different, I never would have met my wife.”

Kierra McMillen of Bellegarde celebrated her birthday with the story of a similarily destinyaltering meeting, as she recounted the story of seeking-and finding-her biological father.

“I feel euphoric and I was so happy to share my story about finding my biological father,” she said.

“And I know he will get a kick out of it.”

A set of conversation cards at his table inspired Joel Mryglod of Carlyle to share the story of his engagement to his wife, Katie. The story of the pair’s engagement proved to be a touching and funny tale of a proposal in a secluded spot that was almost derailed by a family of seven and was captured forever in photographs.

However, this SaskStories taping also captured stories of life’s challenges.

Bonnitta Whitrow of Weyburn recalled a hospital stay in 2007, when as a 22-year-old, she was bedridden with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Instead of dwelling on her illness and its frightening effects, Whitrow inspired the audience with her journey to regain her health and led an impromptu session of laughter yoga, adding: “Laugh-even if it’s fake, you’re body doesn’t know the difference.”

Power’s SaskCulture colleague, Damon BadgerHeit came to the Friday night taping with his young family. Appropriately, he spoke about the joys and challenges of fatherhood and his concern for a friend and fellow father who was struggling.

Nun staffer Jillian Vinge paid tribute to the life of her late grandfather, Glenn Vinge, “Our papa,” by reading his eulogy, complete with wisdom and humour from Weyburn’s coffee row and the importance of family, friends and a reminder to appreciate every moment of life’s changes and challenges.

Souris-Cannington federal NDP candidate Vicky O’Dell took a night off from the campaign trail to attend the taping and said, “This is a great evening. It was also great to hear people’s stories and to celebrate such a personal, intimate evening with such superb food. I had no idea what kind of evening this would be. But ultimately, I would describe it as ‘hopeful.’”

Joel Mryglod summed up his experience this way: “Everytime I come here, I taste the food but I also taste the love and the warmth and the enjoyment. We’re so lucky to have a place like The Happy Nun to come to.”

Quote of the Week . . .

“We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.”

- Tom Robbins

I went there...

Ok, I’ve gone there, I’m talking about religion… It’s not something I usually like to write about but the other day I was speaking with a minister from a neighbouring town and he asked me why younger people don’t go to church. I answered, “I don’t know.” He asked me to think on it and this is what I came up Kelly Running with. As always this is just my Observer Staff opinion and you’re welcome to agree or disagree with me, I don’t mean to offend anyone, I just happen to have a medium where I get to voice my thoughts.

I personally haven’t been to church in about a year and a half. Life can get very busy though. The minister and congregation were extremely welcoming and I’ll forever be grateful to everyone at the United Church for the big smiles each Sunday when I first came to Carlyle. It’s tough moving to a new community and they were a bright light in a difficult spot. I didn’t know anyone and they made me feel like I could find a place here.

However, as I’ve found a place in the community, I find myself attending church less because coaching, playing in ladies tournaments, and work often takes up time on Sundays. I should make it more of a priority because I like going, it’s difficult to describe but it makes me feel lighter. I just haven’t made the time.

I’m sure for many people this is the case. They simply don’t make church a priority because they’re living hectic lives and the idea of Sunday being a day of rest is lost on the modern world.

As I sat thinking about why my generation and those younger than me don’t typically go to church, I realized that the ways religion is portrayed today means that many people don’t agree with what they think is being taught.

One of the biggest religion stories currently in the news is about a woman in the States who refused to issue marriage licences to same-sex couples. She then cited scripture and said that she couldn’t issue marriage licences to certain people because it conflicts with God’s word essentially.

Although many people rallied behind her, I saw her actions in a different light. Firstly, at its core the central theme of religion is love. Secondly, if she were worried about the sanctity of marriage, she shouldn’t issue marriage licences to anyone who has ever been divorced. And finally, marriage is no longer just associated with religion. If you can be married by a Justice of the Peace, then marriage today is more about the State and essentially ties two people together for legal purposes. For those that are religious, it still involves God, but to me she has a double standard if she is issuing marriage licences to atheists then and not to same-sex couples. At the end of the day it is a civil job the woman holds and marriage licences go to anyone eligible by law.

In fact, if she’s that intent upon holding up the Bible, one of the Ten Commandments is that we keep Sunday open for a day of worship… so if I were to go to her for a marriage licence she should deny me.

Personally I’m always thankful the United Church is quite progressive; in 2009 they stated they welcome people of all gender identities and in 2010 the first openly transgender minister was ordained. No big deal. Love thy neighbour. If it wasn’t progressive I don’t think I’d welcome religion.

Nobody is perfect and to me church is a reminder of that. We are all struggling in life. Religion simply encourages us to be loving and forgiving, we have no right to judge another person, that’s God’s job.

Keeping boots where they’re needed The woman was clearly irritated as she carried the stadium concession food to her awaiting family complaining loudly, “I can’t believe I had to wait 20 minutes for french fries,” and tossed the food on the table.

Whenever I see something like this I am reminded of a Romanian social worker who, when her children were little, joined a long line-up very early in the Shelley Luedtke morning hoping to purchase candy for a rare treat at Christmas, only to discover the supply ran out before the line-up did.

Or the account of a man in a refugee camp who talked about the days when the aid trucks arrived at the temporary camp where he and his family had been living. He made sure to tuck a sharpened blade in his clothes because he knew he might have to fight off someone attempting to steal the food before he made it back to his tent.

Hundreds of thousands of people…no, let’s be honest…millions of people around the world share the same story. The lack of resources, the loss of security and the daily struggle is the same--and it is in sharp contrast to what many of us know to be our reality.

We’ve been challenged by the images of the people desperate to flee Syria and find a place they feel safe…and welcome. It’s been described as the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time. Let’s not forget though, that it is not just Syrian refugees that are homeless, hungry and in need of hope. Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq, Sudan, Vietnam, Burundi, Ethiopia, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Congo, and many more nations fill out the lengthy list of countries from which refugees have been fleeing. We’ve been in a humanitarian crisis for a long, long time.

Refugees are protected by international law and they have the right not to be expelled, the right not to be punished for illegal entry into the territory, the right to work, the right to housing, the right to education, the right to public relief and assistance, the right to freedom of religion, the right Kelly Running Editor Reporter/Photographer

to access the courts, the right to freedom of movement within the territory, and the right to be issued identity and travel documents. It’s pretty easy to declare that this or that country should be doing more to help, or to jump to the support of officials who make announcements that appeal to our sense of what feels right in the short term. But we need to be clear on what the objectives are and what is the best and most helpful way to proceed.

Contrary to media opinion, this problem has not been ignored. There are many organizations… many… that have been hard at work in points all around the globe working in refugee camps, establishing resettlement programs, increasing access to health care and education and providing everything from blankets to bottles where they are needed.

This isn’t something that’s jumped on their radar because of a campaign. They have been there for years--decades--diligently doing what was needed in the face of a humanitarian crisis; and limited only by the resources provided by people like you and me. Their tireless work may have been occurring outside the view of the TV camera but make no mistake, it has been occurring.

Two women are waiting. Waiting in two very different lines. They are mothers. Both need to feed their families. One waits impatiently because the concession can’t keep up with the demand for french fries. The other waits nervously as she clings to the hope of what might be at the end of the line.

The longer the first woman waits the more indignant she becomes. The longer the second waits the more worried she is that the aid truck will run out of food.

While we look for long-term, sustainable solutions, there are ways we can turn out intention into action. We can help fund the organizations that are equipped to provide emergency aid under these circumstances. Regrettably, they have plenty of experience.They were there long before the photographer’s lens arrived and they will remain there long after it has left. Regardless of our personal take on the situation, our political leanings, or our religious beliefs, our efforts to assist them epitomizes the best of boots on the ground.

That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

Terry Fox Run

Terry Fox: His legacy is timeless

Kelly Running

Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

I’m finding that Lynne and I like to call truces on occasion as we focus on things we agree on in the world or that actually involves our own thoughts and feelings, because when we write pros and cons, we agree on the topic a lot and simply try to present both sides of the argument.

The other week Lynne came up to me and asked, “Were you born when Terry Fox ran?”

She followed that up with, a probably not.

And, no, I wasn’t, but I’ve participated in the Terry Fox Run when I was in school for numerous years and having covered events for the paper in the area think I know a little bit about his legacy at least.

Lynne thought an interesting topic might be the different ways we see the run or have participated in it then, because my generation is somewhat removed from his actual run although we are affected by his legacy.

He is a great Canadian and his legacy is long lasting, this is what I know, whereas Lynne can remember the headlines in the news about him and can remember his efforts as being part of her Canada, not just a legacy.

This to me is interesting in itself, how something that is happening today has potential to become a legacy and remembered 35 years down the road much like Terry Fox’s efforts.

I throw out the number 35 because that is how many years the Terry Fox Run has been happening; it was in 1980 that Terry made history with his Marathon of Hope.

Terry had thought he had beat cancer and was determined to raise money for research and to help others with the disease. Additionally, he wanted to change people’s mentalities surrounding disabilities, there were no limits.

Terry ran through pain at first, but when he was about 20 miles from Thunder Bay, the pain became too much for him, he couldn’t run through it anymore, and asked his friend to take him to the hospital.

Cancer, what he thought he had beaten when doctors amputated his leg, had spread to his lungs. He vowed to fight this too and he told people, “I don’t think this is unfair. That’s the thing about cancer. I’m not the only one. It happens all the time, to other people. I’m not special. This just intensifies what I did. It gives it more meaning. It’ll inspire more people. I could have sat on my rear end, I could have forgotten what I’d seen in the hospital, but I didn’t.”

The young man passed away one month before his 23 birthday and in his memory as well as for loved ones fighting cancer, over 300,000 people took part in the first ever Terry Fox Run. It was his story we were told throughout school and it was something that struck home for me at a young age as my opa passed away from cancer when I was in elementary school.

The fact that nearly everyone knows someone who is fighting cancer or who has fought it, means that it affects a staggering number of people and is why his legacy, what he inspired in people, has remained 35 years later.

Editor’s Note . . .

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

Observer Staff

“His legacy is timeless.” That’s one of the things Canadian singer-songwriter Jann Arden has to say about Terry Fox. This year, the 35th annual edition of the Terry Fox run will take place throughout Canada and in countries throughout the world.

Not only is Terry Fox’s reach global; it also spans generations and my dear editor and I are living proof.

Often, Kelly and I are scratching our heads to come up with topics for this column-not because there aren’t things to write about-but often because we tend to share a lot of the same opinions.

Which brings me to this week....Do we disagree on anything regarding Canadian hero Terry Fox, his mission, or his legacy? Of course not! But we do see things differently (coincidentally, the name of this weekly feature), so we found a most deserving loophole-and a meaningful topic-for this week’s column.

Terry Fox was only 18-years-old when he was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma-more commonly known as bone cancer. As a result, this promising athlete had to have his right leg amputated 15 centimetres (six inches) above the knee.

In 1977, while in hospital, he was: “so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients, many of them young children, that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research.”

Terry started what became the Marathon of Hope in St. John’s, Newfoundland on April 12, 1980, with little fanfare. However, momentum grew and he soon became a familiar and beloved figure to Canadians as his punishing daily 42km/26 mile run continued through the Maritimes, Quebec and Ontario. When he was

Through the Lens Moose Mountain Photography Club

forced to stop running on September 1, 1980 when cancer reappeared in his lungs, most of us wept.

And when this astonishingly determined and courageous young man lost his battle with cancer on June 28, 1981 at the age of 22, we wept then, too.

People of Kelly’s generation are no less affected or moved by Terry Fox’s story. They grew up with his story at home or in school and can easily witness what some of us saw on TV news over three decades ago via the Internet.

However, Kelly and I both agree that no matter how you experienced Terry’s story, Jann Arden is right: His legacy is timeless.

In a world where the word “hero” is overused, Terry Fox is the real deal. And that’s one of the reaons that after 35 years, the Marathon of Hope is still going strong, as Canadians of all generations and walks of life vow to finish the walk for Terry.

The other, sadder reason, is that although progress has been made and continues to be made-too many of us-whatever our ages-have experienced cancer.

Although the very first Marathon of Hope was cut short after 143 days and 5,373 km/3,339 miles, Terry Fox’s legacy took on a life of its own.

To date, over $650 million has been raised for cancer research through the Marathon of Hope. This year, the Terry Fox Foundation aims to raise one dollar for every Canadian.

I think we can do this. So does Kelly. And that’s one thing we don’t “see differently.”

19th Annual Kenosee 55+ Men’s and Women’s draws 146 participants Kelly Running Observer Staff

For 19 years an annual tradition has grown as the Golf Kenosee 55+ Tournament has become a mainstay.

A group of gentlemen, including Dennis Gustafson and Roy Arndt, began the tradition. The Observer happened upon them during their game.

“It’s great,” Arndt said. “It’s well known around the country. We’re central here, so people come from Estevan, Esterhazy, Manitoba, from all around.”

“We have a beautiful course here and a highlight every year is the roast beef supper and that there’s always prizes for everyone.”

Three years ago, Maxine Armstrong took over organization of the event.

“There are 148 golfers this year,” Armstrong said, which is a substantial number of golfers. “We usually get the posters out in May and June, and the out of towners always seem to be first to get their name in.”

Arndt added, “Next year’s tournament will pretty much fill with people today who want to come back again.”

Armstrong says that each year they receive terrific support from businesses in Weyburn, Estevan, and those in and around Kenosee Lake.

“Everyone is very generous,” she stated.

“That’s one of our main drawing cards, is that they get a prize and they haven’t even golfed yet.

Everyone gets one in the morning when they pick up their packages.”

Flight prizes and door prizes are also very popular amongst those participating in the tournament.

During supper this year, a small silent auction was hosted with a signed Roughrider jersey and a Roughrider print available. The organizational committee of the tournament will decide which organization to donate this money to at their next meeting.

CFL could be Tebow’s salvation Sports Wrap-up with Bruce Penton

It worked for Warren Moon. It worked for Joe Theismann. It worked for Doug Flutie.

Hey, Tim Tebow, it could work for you, too.

Tebow, a college star of great renown at University of Florida, wants to play quarterback in the National Football League but keeps getting rejected. He was drafted by the Denver Broncos, where he had a brief (five or six games) spell of success, traded to New York Jets, given a tryout by the New England Patriots and, this fall, was invited to the training camp of the Philadelphia Eagles. But after a pretty good pre-season game under coach Chip Kelly that left many observers thinking he would stick around as the Eagles’ third quarterback, he was cast adrift again.

Back to TV land for Tebow, 28, who had been developing a career as a football analyst for ESPN but whose desire to play quarterback in the NFL regularly leads him to discard his TV dreams.

So if Tebow can’t play quarterback in the NFL but still harbours a deep desire to do so, what’s he to do? Head north, young man, head north.

Moon was a college quarterback star whom the NFL wizards ignored. Moon joined the Edmonton Eskimos, where he starred for six seasons, winning Grey Cups, outstanding-player awards and suddenly, attention from the NFL, which finally saw the error of its ways. Moon signed with Houston Oilers and became an NFL all-star and eventual Hall of Famer. Ditto for Flutie, whose lack of size relegated him to the NFL’s sidelines before he proved his worth as a star for eight seasons with Toronto Argonauts and Calgary Stampeders of the CFL. Flutie, too, returned to the NFL and enjoyed a modicum of success, although nowhere near the level achieved by Moon. Theismann, too, was deemed too small for the NFL, so he gathered his helmet and cleats and headed to Toronto, where he was so dominant the Washington Redskins quickly signed him after three seasons in Argoland.

Tebow should be next. The CFL probably won’t be able to pay him close to what he’s making on ESPN, but he already has enough money to life comfortably for the rest of his life. If it’s sports gratification he wants, and quarterbacking in the NFL is the avenue to that gratification, he must

Riders will be playing for pride for remainder of 2015 season This season ended at the 14:23 mark of the second quarter of the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ Week 1 home game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

That’s when, with 0:37 seconds left in the first half, star quarterback Darian Durant went down with what would later be learned was a seasonending rupture of his left Achilles tendon.

If I had to guess the time, it would have been roughly 7:37 pm MT. Poof.

No matter that the Riders were trailing the Bombers 15-14 at the time. If healthy, Durant would’ve led the Riders back to victory. Of that, I have no doubt. Over his 10 seasons here, Durant has just about always led the Roughriders to thrilling comeback victories. Those were the days.

But Durant’s season was over at that point and in retrospect, so too was his entire team’s.

Fast forward to now and the Durant-less Roughriders are 1-10 and facing a considerable conundrum with seven games left in the regular season.

They’ve already gone through a massive upheaval in the form of the firings of head coach Corey Chamblin and GM Brendan Taman two Mondays ago and no one’s certain now what the future will bring.

The 2014 season went down the tubes in Week 10 last year when Durant was felled by a seasonending right arm injury but we were assured steps were taken in the off-season to ensure the team would be better prepared if the unthinkable were to happen again.

And then it did. And the good ship Rider sunk again. Cue the firings.

It’s sad that the Riders’ margin for error was beyond razor thin for each game they’d face in the second half of this season but that’s the hand they were dealt. Just one loss after Labour Day meant this team would be faced with Next Year Country and now that’s where they sit. Saturday’s 22-7 loss to the Blue Bombers in Winnipeg’s Banjo Bowl was the chilling dagger.

However it’s not that the team isn’t worth following any longer. The course ahead is a curious one as the new braintrust of GM Jeremy O’Day and head coach Bob Dyce - both interim replacements – need to sort out the desire to collect as many wins as possible versus auditioning talent for next

year’s team.

2-16 looks better than 1-17, 3-15 looks better than 2-16, and so on and so on. All the while management needs to keep an eye on the bursting salary cap and manage costs in every area.

“We talk about everything we do, we do for us,” Bob Dyce explained on 620 CKRM’s postgame show Saturday night. “We stay together and stay strong for each other. You never really know what’s going to happen in the future. You have to take one play at a time, one day at a time, and get better with each opportunity.”

The trouble with that is what’s best for individual players may not be what’s best for the collective outlook of the franchise. For instance, what’s best for quarterback Kevin Glenn is to play. The 36-year old veteran is due to come off the 6-game Injured List this week after having recovered from a torn pectoral muscle. However what’s best for rookie quarterback Brett Smith, who’s started the past six games, is to keep taking snaps.

And the unspoken elephant in the room is what’s going to happen with Durant once he heals from the Achilles rupture in time for the 2016 season? No one will say it, but many wonder if Durant will be at peak form both physically and mentally when he returns. He’s been dealt with two viciously devastating injuries and the toll on his psyche may be far greater than what his body’s been through.

I think at this point, most everyone can see the problems of this team run far deeper than the injury to Durant. The Eskimos, Blue Bombers and Alouettes have all seen their starting pivots go down but they’ve managed to win games and remain in the post-season race.

Not so for the once mighty Roughriders.

And as far as the other players go, they’ll need to find some sort of motivation to play their best for the remaining games. It’s a brand new, albeit distasteful, experience for each one of them.

“We’re gonna continue to fight and battle and if you want to be a part of the solution, you have to play well now,” observed veteran receiver Rob Bagg. “We’ll play until we’re statistically out of it.

You might as well do it right if you’re going to do it.”

Unfortunately, it’s gotten to be too late.

make at least a two- or three-year detour to the CFL. Get your passport, Tim. We’re waiting for you.

Steve Rushin of SI.com on Twitter, during an easy Roger Federer match at the U.S. Open: “Federer playing like his yacht is double-parked.”

ABC late-night funnyman Jimmy Kimmel: “The Patriots have been at the centre of all sorts of cheating allegations. If these reports we’ve seen are accurate, the Patriots cheated more than everyone on Ashley Madison combined.”

Seth Meyers of NBC’s ‘Late Night’: “Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said that he’s not sure who he’ll vote for, but he loves Donald Trump. I guess Brady just loves anything that releases air.”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “The Minnesota Vikings led the NFL with 18 arrests in the past five years, with the Denver Broncos No. 2. I believe this means crime is caused by cold weather.”

Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “A Dunkin’ Donuts in Maine has offered Richard Berman, the judge in the Tom Brady case, free coffee for life. If he accepts it, of course, that’s grounds for appeal.”

Norman Chad of the Washington Post, on Tampa Bay rookie quarterback Jameis Winston: “NFL will be so much easier for Winston than college was.

At Florida State, he had to worry about class load, inappropriate conduct toward females, shoplifting exit routes and handcuff etiquette. With the Buccaneers, he will be able to just concentrate on game film.”

Another one from Perry: “Two Kansas City Royals — Kelvin Herrera and Alex Rios — are sidelined with chickenpox. But not any Atlanta Braves. They can’t catch much of anything these days.”

RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Roberta Vinci ended the hopes of Serena Williams for a calendar Grand Slam in a three-set upset. I guess Serena isn’t in-Vinci-able.”

Currie again: “Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly paid $25,000 for a wax figure of himself. ‘Big deal,’ say the Redskins. ‘We bought RGIII — a $21-million bust.’ ” Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “Tom Brady said he has ‘a great amount of respect for Roger Goodell.’ I think I like ‘I didn’t know anything about deflated footballs’ better.”

Dickson again, on the Steelers’ headsets going on the blink during their NFL opener at New England: “The Patriots have an alibi. At the time the headsets began acting up, they were busy letting the air out of the Pittsburgh team bus tires.”

Maintenance It was reported by the village Maintenance that a curbside water shut off on Newcombe Street had seized up and would need to be fixed.

While fixing this the village would like to see a water line in the area cleared as well.

With winter coming, Darren Balogh, the village’s maintenance man will be unplugging culverts before storms hit to ensure a safe spring drain.

Council would like Balogh to take a ground disturbance course as well and plans will be made for him to do so. He will also be entered into a water and wastewater course.

She will also attend three separate workshops offered through Southeast Connections.

The village will purchase two “Slow, watch for children” signs to be placed on Lumsden St. Corrigan was asked to contact the RM No. 63 concerning an approach, which the town would like to see widened, and find information regarding the enforcement of their overweight bylaw, as the village would like to keep heavy trucks off of streets within Manor and would like to know how to enforce this.

The Village of Manor held a meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 19, where they discussed various topics surrounding the operation of the village, while hosting a community meeting regarding the discussion of the campground lot which was sold.

Campground discussion The meeting was called to order at 7 p.m. and began with a community meeting to allow locals the ability to voice concerns over the sale of the campground lot. The campground was in need of major upgrades and was shut down by public health approximately a year and a half ago. One of the main points addressed was that council needs to find a way to communicate with its citizens more effectively and that the village lawyer would be contacted about the campground situation.

The community gathering ended at 8:30 p.m., which was followed by council’s regular meeting.

Waterworks report Shaun Galger presented the water report. It was found that a manganese test should be done, a water metre recording the amount of water going out from the plant needs to be installed to keep track of water records more completely, and as the months become colder the wells will be checked by Galger daily to prevent any freezing.

Council would also like Galger to fix the ozone monitor, which isn’t working properly.

Concerns A concerned individual spoke about oversized trucks parking at a residence. The owner of the residence has also filled ditches in the area with gravel, which backs up onto others’ property. The modification of the ditches was not approved by council and that they will be speaking with the owner of the residence about how

When Sask. Wheat Pool was an iconic symbol

By Calvin Daniels It is interesting how the years alter things not just regarding agriculture, but most things in our lives.

But since this is a column on farming, it is that area where I find time has certainly changed things dramatically in terms of producer’s direct involvement in grain handling.

When I was a youngster,

still not that long ago, the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool (SWP) elevator was the iconic symbol of the province’s skyline, one existing in most every town and village.

The creation of the SWP was interwoven with this province from the earliest days.

“Farmers, frustrated in their attempts to win a fair price for their wheat, started

to look to various marketing systems between 1900 and 1920. The co-operative style of organizing farm operations was one of them. As early as 1902, farmers banded together as the Territorial Grain Growers’ Association.

The TGGA split into Alberta Farmers’ Association and the Saskatchewan Grain Growers’

Association (SGGA) in 1906. Also established at this time was the farmers’ co-operative elevator company called the Grain Growers’ Grain Company (GGGC), which later merged into the United Grain Growers. In 1911 the Saskatchewan Co-operative Elevator Company was formed,” notes Wikipedia.

“The SGGA met

with the United Farmers of Alberta and United Farmers of Manitoba and formed the Saskatchewan Co-operative Wheat Producers Ltd. on August 25, 1923.

Informally it was known as the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool as it collectively helped farmers get a decent price for wheat. The first president was A.J. McPhail and the

15093MF3

first elevator was built in Bulyea in 1925.”

My grandfather was a supporter of the SWP, and I can well imagine he would be astounded, and frankly disappointed in the story as it has developed in the last quarter century.

But time changes everything as they say, and the iconic elevators would disappear, and the roots of the company would be lost.

Jump ahead to 1996, and we find the SWP becoming a publicly traded company, breaking from its roots as a cooperative.

By 2007, with a few buy-outs and sell-offs, and the SWP would evolve into Viterra.

Viterra Inc. was for a time the nation’s largest grain handler, having grown to become a global agribusiness with operations in Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand and China.

But Viterra’s history would be a short one.

Glencore International would make a $6.1-billion acquisition which had Viterra Inc. merge with Glencore in January 2013.

The once familiar face of the Pool our Prairie forefathers worked so hard to create with the hope of better prices was all but gone.

And what remains under the flag of Glencore appears about to change yet again.

“Glencore PLC, the parent company of Viterra, is considering selling some of its Canadian grain handling assets in an effort to reduce company debt and maintain its Triple B credit rating,” notes a recent Western Producer article.

“In a Sept. 7 conference call with investors, Glencore chief executive officer Ivan Glasenberg said the company is considering the sale of various agricultural assets in Canada and is also entertaining offers to sell a minority stake in Glencore’s global agriculture portfolio …

“In Canada, the sale of agricultural assets would most likely involve former Viterra facilities, including inland elevators or port terminals, which were acquired by Glencore just a few years ago.”

And so it goes, the evolution of time changing what began as something created by farmers, for farmers, into something just part of the multinational grain handling system where the bottom line is for shareholders not producers.

I received notice that Ian Caldwell had passed away September 6, 2015 in BC. Ian’s parents operated the hotel in Alida for a number of years. In 1966 Ian married and they lived in Regina where he worked as chief photographer and photo editor for the Leader Post for 27 year before retiring to Duncan, BC. Sincere sympathy is extended to his wife Pat (Cuming) and family.

On Thursday, September 10 at Marcy’s Diner approximately 10 local ladies gathered for an afternoon birthday coffee, guests also included Dot Girard and Marion Fuller from Redvers. Great to see you ladies once again, make sure you come for another visit soon.

Hope you all had a good visit.

Murray Cowan and son Adam (Estevan) spent from September 11-13 at the Cowan farm helping to finish up the harvest and some yard work and of course to visit with his parents Gray and Edel, as well with brother, Tim, Shelly and Ainsley.

YAHOO – as of Saturday, September 12 our harvest is DONE! Once this last rain decided to end and things began to clear and dry up the

combines soon became busy once again, even if it was usually after dinner once the fog and dew burnt off.

Let’s hope that the weatherman will now co-operate and give the farmers more nice harvest weather. There’s still a lot of crop out waiting for the combine – good luck fellas – hope you too can get done soon.

It was the Banjo Bowl football game on Saturday, September 12 in Winnipeg – and guess what?? The Riders are back to their true form again – THEY LOST, now they sit at 1 – 10 – Geeish! Just guess we’ll have to sit and wait for next season – we’re a Next Year Team (ha). Next game is on Saturday, September 19 against Ottawa here in Regina – Go Riders Go! Curling is back (on Sports Net). It was the Pinty’s Grand Slam Tour Challenge held in Newfoundland. I watched as many of the games that I could, but the ball games took priority. The Koe team from Alberta won over Gushu (not sure who won the ladies – missed it). But say those Blue Jays – now they are something else right – leading their side of the pack now – Way to Go Jays.

e-mail the other day – telling me “How children perceive their grandparents”.

I thought it was so cute – that I’m going to share a couple examples everyone now again – hope you enjoy them as much as I did. (1) Grandma was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter, as she’d done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, “But Grandma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!” Will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good-bye ….. (2) My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, 80. My grandson was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, “Did you start at 1?” That’s it for this time – until next week – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and Take care.

Congratulations to Stephen Hamilton and Erin Wasson who were married in Saskatoon on Aug. 29. Kathy Hamilton, Steve Linnen, Red Van Dresar and Grandma Dora Knelsen attended the ceremony.

Several members of the Puskas family travelled to Arborford, SK to attend the wedding of Andrea Colborn (Rick and Martha’s daughter) and Marcus Miller. Family members included Kevin Puskas, Connie Pryce, Frida Puskas, Hope Puskas, Skylar Mann, Shana Patterson, Tylan, Jacey and Dalton and Val Puskas. They booked into the Old Bank Bed and Breakfast and were joined by Jim and Susie Page and Lance.

Friday evening included a supper at Rick and Martha’s and a family visit. Ken and Joan Colborn stayed at the Carrot River Inn along with some other family members.

On Saturday they all attended the wedding ceremony and dance.

Sunday morning they all met for a brunch at Rick and Martha’s with

son Evan and friends helping. Grandma Julie Puskas was unable to attend as she was in the hospital at that time.

Kennedy/Langbank News Submitted by Doreen Cancade

Sunday was one of a kind. Mother Nature was very good to us.

Don’t just count your blessings, share them and that’s what Kennedy and surrounding towns did this week. A beginning when the garden committee held their supper and musical entertainment on Thursday evening at the Kennedy Friendship centre (because of the cool weather) everyone that attended were very pleased with the evening. Friday night the old time dance was held at the community hall. The crowd was very small but everyone had a great time (and that is the most important part of an evening of entertainment). The 50/50 ticket holders were Hilda Ingjaldson of Moosomin (she and her husband have been faithful supporters for a good many years), violin player Bill Unra of Arcola won the second draw. Come out to the next dance for an enjoyable time.

On Saturday ladies from Kennedy attended the tea held in Kipling sponsored by the United Church. The vegetables for sale plus all the good baking, and of course the variety of muffins, plus the fellowship was great. Sunday was another get-together for music in the park at Wawota, entertainment was enjoyed by all and again the food was great plus the hospitality in all three towns. Yes, it takes volunteers to keep things happening.

Bob and Marion Hourd attended their son’s, Ryan and his wife Jazmin Marlinga wedding in Calgary which took place Sept. 5. Congratulations Ryan from Fletwode and Kennedy folks.

Ray and Ellen McMillan of Regina attended the Thursday evening celebration in Kennedy and had a sleepover in Kennedy. They have been spending a great deal of time with his mother Marie McMillan, and all family members.

Holly Keith of Weyburn spent the weekend with her mother Wendy and Melvin Lineman.

A graveside service for the late Michael Muir was held on Saturday afternoon in the Kennedy cemetery for family and friends. A lunch followed at the community hall when folks had a chance to visit the family.

Ralph and Anita Margetts visited with Yvonne Bertalon on Saturday afternoon.

There is a saying for a boy raised on the farm “will always be a farmer at heart”. Mark Sostorics of Calgary fills the saying, he came back home to help his father with the harvest for a few days and then nephew Craig Hurnard from Leduc, AB, came to enjoy the farm life and drive the grain truck.

Also Jerry Barsi of Regina is in the same category.

He came to help his brother Richard and I am sure there are other family members that do the same - a great way to enjoy the fields of harvest. (I hear some of the crops are yielding very good) which is a blessing.

Please remember to take part in the Terry Fox Run in Kennedy. Folks from Kennedy have been active in this project for many years, let’s encourage a larger crowd than usual. Everyone will miss George Hodgins who took part for a great number of walks.

The View from the desk of Marga Cugnet, CEO, Sun Country Health Region

Think carefully about your safety

Sixty thousand Canadians are injured every year as a result of slips, trips and falls. And then there’s transportation safety, falls and crushes and injuries from hazardous materials. And then there are sports injuries and those that occur at home.

The ability for us to hurt ourselves, or others, as we go about our daily business seems to be almost endless.

WorkSafe Saskatchewan says this province has one of the highest rates of preventable injuries in Canada.

There were already 21,264 injuries in Saskatchewan this year, as of September 8.

This is all of great concern to a health care organization, not only because of the suffering and loss that accompanies those numbers, but because these injured friends and neighbours will need our health care services as a result.

As we enter a new school year and ramp up activities again after the summer break, we all need to be thinking seriously about the best way to prevent injuries. WorkSafe Saskatchewan, at http://www.worksafesask.ca/, is a great source of information for your business and home for ideas about injury prevention. The organization is actively promoting its Mission Zero campaign, trying to move the province to zero injuries.

Your business can start down the road by sending someone to the 2015 WorkSafe Saskatchewan Regional Workshop in Yorkton on Thursday, October 29 to begin developing a safety program. You can nd someone in your organization who deserves an award for safety.

Applications for the 2016 Safe Worker and Safe Employer Award will be accepted by WorkSafe SK until October 30, 2015. You can have staff take the online training courses provided by WorkSafe Saskatchewan.

There are a lot of options to help organizations and individuals learn more. The point is to educate everyone in your organization about the safe way to work and play, and then continue to draw attention to the need for constant vigilance at home and elsewhere.

As one of the health care organizations that contributes to the high injury statistics in the province, Sun Country Health Region has developed an aggressive internal campaign to reduce patient and staff injuries to zero

by March 31, 2020. From several different directions at once, we are working on the creation of a “culture of safety,” in conjunction with other health regions and health partners in the province.

We encourage you to join us in this important work.

Pause for Reflection

Mighty waters

By Ken Rolheiser www.kenrolheiser.com

Developing mystic eyes

A Hindu man is walking and talking with God. The man asks, “Can you explain to me the mysteries of life?” God says, “O.K., but first give me a cup of water.” Just then they come upon a house. The man goes to the door to ask for a drink of water.

A beautiful woman answers the door. Forty years later they are married with children, living in the same house, when a terrible storm shakes the house. The man cries out, “Where are you God?” God answers, “I’m here. Where is my cup of water?”

Life often interrupts our quest for the Divine.

God’s presence to us is often silent, largely unnoticed, but unremitting. He’ll still be here after forty years. God hangs around.

In her book Sacred Heart, Gateway to God Wendy Wright says, “A layered reality is part of the Catholic [Universal] imagination. To possess this imagination is to dwell in a universe inhabited by unseen presences - the presence of God, the presence of saints, the presence of one another.

There are no isolated individuals but rather unique beings whose deepest life is discovered in and through one another. This life transcends the confines of space and time.”

“Mysticism is as real as science,” Father Ron Rolheiser says. “What she [Wright] describes here so brilliantly points towards something that is all but lost in our world today; namely, the fact that reality is more than just physical, that it has layers that we do not perceive empirically, that these layers are just as real as the physical, and there is more mystery within ordinary life than meets the eye.

In a related column Father Rolheiser says, “The mystical imagination is the other half of the

scientific imagination, and, like science, its purpose is to help us see, imagine, understand, speak about, and relate to reality in a way beyond fantasy and superstition. But the mystical imagination can show us something that science, wonderful though it is, cannot; namely, it can show us the many gracedrenched and spirit-laden layers of reality that are not perceived by our physical senses. The mystical imagination can show us how the Holy Spirit isn’t just inside our churches, but is also inside the law of gravity.”

Developing mystical eyes is simply becoming aware of God’s hidden presence inside us. It is recognizing God’s presence in our lives. God is forever trying to break through to us, but like the Hindu man in the story, life interrupts us in our quest for God. God’s presence in our lives can be experienced in different ways. Conscience is one way. Unless we have silenced it, we all have an inner voice that prompts us to make correct choices. This inner consciousness keeps us in touch with our Maker who put it there.

Artists often have a unique way of expressing the Divine Presence in our world. William Wordsworth spoke of “A motion and a Spirit, that impels All thinking things, all objects of all thought, And rolls through all things.”

“Lines—Tintern Abbey” (100-103) Dag Hammerjold said, “God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason.”

By Linda Wegner There’s a stiff breeze today, enough of a wind to ruffle Pacific Ocean waters into a series of white caps out yonder and, I suspect, crashing waves on the shores. Moreover, the wind is strong enough to merit a head covering; up here on the track every breeze and every drop in temperature exaggerates itself.

Buttoning up my jacket I set out on the first of the six laps I plan to make around the track.

To my right the beauty of the water is amplified by the presence of islands: Texada Island, home to a quarry that yielded the stone embellishing the front of the Vancouver Post Office; Harwood Island, also known by its traditional name of Ahgykson, is part of the traditional territory of the Sliammon First Nation; and looming in the background, Vancouver Island. There are others dotting the horizon but these three loom large in my line of sight. Along with their beauty I am told that their presence will break the impact of prophesied earthquakes and probable tsunamis. That’s reassuring when you live perched on the edge of the Ring of Fire, an area notorious for volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

Filling in the blanks between islands, sail boats, barges, yachts, fishing vessels and ferries ply these waters on a daily basis. In a geographically isolated community the presence of marine transportation is a source of comfort.

What lies beneath the surface is what really intrigues me, though: ships have gone down, lives have been lost and we humans have managed to populate this pristine beauty with garbage. So much to regret yet so much for which to give thanks.

I enter the curve in the track with praise to God that he forgives and forgets “...You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.” (Micah 7:19, NKJV)

DECHAINE: In loving memory of Chris, Sept. 19, 2005.

Dear Chris, In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed Since that day in September this world felt you last.

Ten years of memories that will never be whole, Ten years of your story that will never be told .

We miss our father, our son, our brother, our friend, A bright light made fainter, but one with no end.

We struggle to hold on to each part of you, To remember each detail of the Chris that we knew.

Though the sands of time make it all less clear, Our hearts hold our love for you just as near.

We have a lifetime to live, to try to move on, But we know it will never be the same with you gone.

Only life with your daughter helps make this wrong feel right, A congeniality award, a heart of gold, the bright star in our night.

And now 10 years of writing must come to a close, And we lay down the pen that writes this prose.

Please know we’ll love you forever, more with each day, But at the mark of a decade, there’s no words left to say.

With love, Your family

Card of Thanks I would like to thank everyone who sent cards, flowers, food and well wishes at the time of my brother, Chuck’s sudden passing. Special thank you to the Staff at Golf Kenosee for picking up my shifts on such short notice.

Your thoughtfulness was much appreciated.

Jeannine McKinna 18-1 Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating Karen’s life. Words are not enough to express our appreciation for all the food, flowers, cards, phone calls, visits and messages we received during her illness and upon her passing. Special thanks to the Doctors and Staff at the Allan Blair Cancer Clinic, Arcola Hospital and Moose Mountain Lodge for the care Karen received.

Our heartfelt thanks to Nasir and the staff at Skyline for hosting the tea after the service.

Jim Riddell and family 18-1

Online shopping represents a large and increasing part of the Canadian economy.

However, many of the dollars spent leak out of our economy to US Corporations. A 2013 report produced for Vancity reported that two out of every three dollars spent online by Canadians go to US retail websites.

Parenting Tips from Regional KidsFirst

Classifieds Work!

Call 453-2525

Should I worry about spoiling my baby?

“I’ve been told over and over that I’m spoiling my newborn baby…and sometimes I feel as if I am. He cries for me to pick him up and once I do, he stops crying. How can I break him of this habit early before it gets worse?”

Young babies simply can’t be spoiled. They cry to get your attention because that is the only way that they can tell you what they need. Listen to your parental instinct –pick up and comfort your baby when he cries. When you comfort your baby, he/she learns to feel secure, loved and valued. You are building a foundation of trust that can last for years to come.

When you respond quickly and sensitively to

your baby’s cries, he will come to see the world as a good place and have the courage to explore it happily on his own. Once he learns that you take his cries seriously, he will be less likely to cry for no reason. In the long run, responding to your baby’s cries will make him less clingy, not more.

As baby grows older, you can begin to lessen the level of your response to his cries. Rather than picking him up right away, go to him and let him know you are there. Talk to him or rub his back. Offer a blanket or special toy to help him begin to soothe himself. But stay with him and let him know that you are there for him and love him unconditionally.
