It was an exciting day on Friday, May 27, with a new apartment complex unveiled by Blue Oak Holdings who worked with the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan to offer low to moderate income apartments in Carlyle for individuals and families. A total of 12 new affordable rental units are available within the apartment complex. Attending the ribbon cutting were Jason Zhao, CEO of Blue Oak Holdings Ltd., Honourable Dan D’Autremont (MLA of Cannington) who was there representing the Honourable Donna Harpauer the Minister of Social Services and Minister responsible for the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation, Mayor Wayne Orsted, and Terry Wotton the Affordable Housing Consultant for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. “Access to good, affordable housing is very important, and this is a welcome addition to the community,” D’Autremont said. “We have confidence in this area, even if we are struggling right now with oil, it will rise again and there will be continued growth in the area.” “This project is an exciting housing option for the community of Carlyle. Not only is it meeting a real need for housing, it is providing low to moderate income renters with an opportunity to live in an affordable home as they pursue other opportunities that exist in this province. We are proud to work with our partners to keep Saskatchewan strong by continuing to increase housing supply, to improve housing affordability, and to support individuals and families in greatest housing need.” Zhao added, “We are committed to helping Saskatchewan grow and thrive. We believe in providing affordable and comfortable accommodations to our residents in rural hubs across the province. We really appreciate the programs that the Government of Saskatchewan has available to make this possible.” “The project would not have been possible without the wonderful support we have received from the province and the Town of Carlyle. We look forward to continuing to work together with our governments and communities to provide even more housing to our residents across Saskatchewan.” Located at 101 Carlyle Ave. in Carlyle, the 12 unit rental housing development consists of four one-bedroom unit plus a den and eight two-bedroom units, totalling 12 units. Each unit is 850 square feet or 79 square metres. The Federal and Provincial Governments through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and Saskatchewan Housing Corporation jointly contributed $240,000 towards six of the 12 units under the Canada-Saskatchewan Investment in Affordable Housing (2011-2014) Agreement. Blue Oak contributed approximately $1.8 million to the development of the housing through cash/land equity and mortgage financing.

Working hard to ensure “Never Events” in Sun Country Health Region Kelly Running Observer Staff

Acute care is always a concern for patients heading to the hospital for treatment, but the Sun Country Health Region’s Acute Care CQI (Continuous Quality Improvement) Team has released a report to help alleviate concerns when heading to the hospital. The report focuses on “Never Events” and describes how they avoid situations, which can make those heading in for a procedure a little bit nervous. Worries often develop when going in for a surgery; will they accidently operate on the wrong patient, do the wrong procedure, or the right procedure but on the wrong body part? Although this thought crosses people’s minds who are anxiously awaiting their procedure, operating room teams utilize a checklist. They mark the body part for surgery and most importantly they include the patient in the first phase of the checklist to ensure they have the right patient, are doing the right surgery, and have the correct body part. This is done before the patient receives any pre-operative sedation. Another common concern is that a patient will be given the wrong tissue, biological implant, or blood product; but, again there are multiple, independent checks done before administering a blood product. Outpatients are given a bracelet with identification codes on it and if this bracelet is removed, the process it restarted from the beginning. The third “Never Event” includes ensuring no foreign object is left in a patient after a procedure is complete. Instrument counts are conducted twice during the surgery and if the count is incorrect the procedure does not continue. They then complete a count prior to closing the incision. For those that are in need of packing being used during the surgery, the length of packing is recorded and when removed is documented and verified that it is fully accounted for. Sterilization of instruments are a top priority and staff are fully trained, while their understanding of sterilization procedures are checked each year. For instruments being sterilized they must pass a biological indicator test, while single use

supplies are always discarded and never reused. Allergies to medication concern those who enter the hospital, but Sun Country watches patient records, while patients are specifically asked upon each admission to the hospital if they have allergies. Once discovered an allergy bracelet is placed on the individual and on the patient status board. As another precaution nurses check with the patient again before administering any medication. When dealing with cylinders of gas Sun Country utilizes a universal coding system which involves different coloured tips for medical air, oxygen, and nitrous oxide. Additionally the wall adaptors and ports within the operating room will only fit the gas they are intended for. Precautions are also taken by Sun Country in other pharmaceutical events such as administering chemotherapy agents, monitoring the use of concentrated potassium solution, clearly marked labels between HYDROmorphone and morphine, as well as restrictions to those who can administer neuromuscular blockade. Staff of Sun Country has also been through an education program and quality controls for point of care testing when it comes to identifying and treating metabolic disturbances such as hypoglycemia/ hyperglycemia in adults and hyperbilirubinemia in neonates. Nurses are able to test related to symptoms and adjust accordingly. If someone admitted is at risk of a stage III or stage IV pressure ulcer after admission then the patient is checked three times a week and risk factors are addressed through the patient’s care plan with

preventative measures put in place. Preventative measures are taken when it comes to accidental burns as well with a tub temperature policy, which includes recording the temperature of the tub water, while “wheat bags,” hot water bottles, heat lights, heat packs, and heated blankets are not allowed within the facilities. When staff is heating IV fluids or treating for hypothermia, there is specific equipment made and used to ensure it is done correctly. Within the Region there are very few secured units, but for those that do exist, there are locked doors with alarms. Precautions are also taken such as checking on a patient at certain intervals, such as every 15 minutes, and the acute mental health unit has a constant observation policy including a video camera in a designated room. Additionally, if required extra staff will be called in to assist with observation if needed. In the case of patients who are suicidal they are placed under the highest level of observation. According to Sun Country they worked significantly in the past few years on suicide prevention including their use of assessment tools and protocols for treatment. Education regarding this is provided to staff annually. There is only one newborn nursery in the Region and when a baby is born they are given a bracelet, which corresponds to the mother’s bracelet to ensure the child is discharged to the correct family. A final concern that people have when family members who are frail or with dementia are transported to the hospital regards the safety of the individual. Sun Country ensures that patients are never unattended by EMS, while they make it necessary to conduct proper handoff using a standard format emphasizing good communication and a safe handoff between EMS and the hospital staff as well, which is reviewed on an annual basis.

NOTICE OF CHANGE OF MEETING DATE TAKE NOTE THAT the Regular (Public) Meeting of the Board of Education of South East Cornerstone Public School Division previously scheduled for Thursday, June 16, 2016 has been rescheduled to Tuesday, June 28, 2016 commencing at 1:00 PM at the school division office located at 80A-18th Street N.E., Weyburn, SK.

The Carlyle branch of Affinity Credit Union kicked off the May long weekend with a barbeque on Main Street-on Friday, May 20-with all proceeds donated to the Red Cross in aid of Fort McMurray. Branch manager Devan Brisebois says, “We usually do a barbeque every year for charity. This year, because we’re an oilfield community, helping out the people of Fort McMurray seemed like a natural fit. We’re happy to do what we can to assist those who were displaced by the fire.”

Parents are asked to stay to fill out registration forms. The students will be spending time in the Kindergarten classroom, going out for recess and touring the school.

Quote of the Week . . . There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge. - Bertrand Russell

A moment to remember

Well the season with the Vipers has come to a close. Recently we competed in Calgary for Westerns, and while there a cute story developed. Two of my friends I had gone to school with showed up with their niece to watch a couple of games. Their niece is only five-years-old and watched Kelly Running the game quite intently. Observer Staff Following the game I went over and sat with them for a little while and her auntie asked the little girl if she had a favourite player on the team. The young girl smiled and said that the girl had something in her hair, making a twisting motion for a braid. Eugene Brown had come over to say hi and we mentioned that if this little girl really wanted she could meet her favourite player. A shy smile spread across the girl’s face and a few quick nods of the head by this youngster had Eugene running off to go grab a piece of paper, a pen, and the young girl’s favourite player, Hailee Fleck. Initially Hailee thought Eugene was attempting to play a practical joke on her. Send her to some random little girl and ask if she wanted an autograph; would have been a good one. Although he exclaimed this was not the case. Hailee came over and it was the cutest thing in the world. The young five-year-old was star struck and could barely talk, after all she had just met her favourite player. The little girl sat with her aunt and when asked how to spell her name got out the first letter, but was so shy she needed her aunt to help her finish. I asked if the girl wanted a photo with Hailee and immediately the youngster started nodding her head. She didn’t want her auntie in the photo with her, but still shy remained seated on her auntie’s lap, which made me laugh. Following the photo and autograph, which I think likely made Hailee’s day too, the young girl watched another match of ours. Although she had a tough time talking to her favourite player at the time, she made sure her aunt told me to tell Hailee, “You are a good jumper! You hit the ball all the way over the fence [the net]! You’re so awesome!” During the second game the young girl, now knowing Hailee’s name, watched, completely invested: “Hailee can jump so high.” “Hailee just hit the ball.” “Did you see Hailee…” I even laughed to myself as I saw the young girl turned, talking to her aunties, spin around in excitement when Hailee was going back to serve. What made this even better was that Hailee’s mom, Janine, was sitting near them and got to enjoy this little girl so excited to watch her favourite player, which of course is Janine’s favourite player too. The next day the auntie texted me again, this time with fan mail for Hailee, it was a photo of the five-year-old girl with a picture she drew of a kitten with writing on it, “Love you. Good luck, Hailee!” My friend then texted me later in the day saying her niece talked non-stop at breakfast with her grandpa about volleyball. Although she had enjoyed watching, Hailee going over to the little girl definitely made an impression. Her auntie said that we had likely created a future volleyball player, especially after we sent a tennis ball sized volleyball home to her later with each of the girls’ autographs on it.

Keeping things current Some were seated, some made use of walkers, others stood side by side as eight senior citizen couples renewed their marriage vows at the Spring Hills assisted living community in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Each couple had been married more than 60 years and though the hair was now grey or gone, and health and mobility issues were common, these couples were Shelley Luedtke thrilled to tell reporters that after decades of marriage their bond had never been stronger. We can renew all types of things: mortgages…passports…licenses…library books. The renewal process allows us to continue using an item and extending its purposefulness to us. To renew something represents an expressed desire to see it extend, carry on and move forward. Many renewals can happen over the phone or on-line, while some require a visit to an office to negotiate terms and sign papers. But regardless of the process involved, the first step is intent, followed by the necessary requirements to see it through. With some upcoming renewals we get regular and helpful reminders, while others are incumbent upon us to be proactive and take care of. So although we may have agencies and offices sending us letters or emails to urge us to update information or prolong membership, some of the areas of our life that could use real renewal aren’t ones we’ll get notified about. Like the renewing of our minds. We need to be working with words, numbers, thoughts and ideas in original and creative ways. We need to be learning new things, taking part in interesting conversations and engaging in activities that create new neural pathways in the superhighways of our brains. Because of our brain’s neuroplasticity, we have opportunities to link neurons together in unique ways. It happens when we are actively engaged in something fresh and different. So renew your mind…and have fun at the same time. Study another language. Pick up a musical instrument. Write a poem. Go for a walk but take a different route. Neuorplasticity experts say we can build new neural pathways by going off the beaten path. So do it. Kelly Running Editor Reporter/Photographer

Which ties into the renewal of our bodies. That walk is going to stretch our brain but also, of course, our bodies, and set off a long list of great benefits that go along with regular activity and exercise. But even that needs a shake up at times. So grab a skipping rope or hula hoop, turn on your favourite music and enjoy. Inflate the basketball and grab a child or neighbour kid and head to a hoop. The conversation will provide just as much benefit as the shooting practice. Part of renewing our bodies is remembering just how much fun we can have. Because stronger minds and healthier bodies make another type of renewal that much more possible; renewing our aspirations. As we get occupied by the obligations we need to meet each day, we might find we have relegated our unique dreams to back-burner status. But what a loss that is, not just for the individual, but for those who would be impacted by those aspirations. To truly aspire to something involves aiming high, to seek ambitiously, and to eagerly desire something of greater value; value not defined by monetary measures but by the impacting nature of those desires. So we aspire to high and lofty goals--making things better for friends and neighbours, feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, and reaching out in friendship to those who need comfort. It’s using everything at our disposal--our vision, our goals, our resources, our skills and talents--to aspire to that which will make a difference. So whether it’s 96-year olds who have been married for 66 years, or a 26-year old setting out to be a catalyst for change, there will be interruptions, obstacles and disheartening challenges along the way, but that’s why each day is a chance to restore and revive what truly matters. We need to take care of those renewals that keep our property insured and our memberships current, but beyond that we can see keeping things current not as a requirement, but as an opportunity--an opportunity to turn each moment into renewal. Today, tomorrow and the days that follow provide that possibility. We can make an occasion of it or we can simply refocus our intentions as we renew our commitment to a spouse, a child, friend, a community, our mind, body and aspirations. In the end, it’s about saying I do, I can, or even…I will try…to those things that matter most. That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

Increase the fines

The other day I was speaking with someone who had helped with a garbage cleanup in and around Carlyle. The statement they made regarding the cleanup was that she couldn’t believe how many empty cigarette packs and disposable coffee cups were in the ditches. It seems as though people Kelly Running would rather discard their trash Observer Staff from a window than hang onto it for a few more kilometres to discard it in a rubbish bin, whether at home, a gas station, or some other stop. Not only does it seem like smokers discard their empty packs, but a lot of time people will flip a cigarette butt out the window and oftentimes there’s no problem other than they have littered, however, in dry conditions a smouldering cigarette butt can cause a much larger problem: fire. Up until the day I write this the entirety of the Prairie Provinces were under a red, high risk zone for fire. Thankfully we’re getting rain now, but while we were watching the Fort McMurray fires and were worried about the potential elsewhere on the prairies, Lynne happened to find an article stating that in British Columbia a new law was being looked at. The new law would increase penalties related to fire offences. It would go so far as to increase fines for failing to extinguish a campfire properly, ban people who have campfire when fire bans are on from provincial parks, and even impound the vehicles of people who flick cigarette butts out of their windows as they’re driving along. Fire, although used by mother nature to create new life – prairie grasses are never as green as they are when the regrowth after a fire begins – the element can be extremely destructive as we’ve seen in Fort McMurray and as a few families saw in Swift Current not long ago as fire took one house and damaged two others. The cause in Swift was likely a cigarette butt tossed to the wayside by someone. So, when I look at the harsher laws regarding fire laws in B.C. it makes me think that it might be for the best considering just how damaging one small cigarette butt or a stray spark can be. Some people think that the potential B.C. changes are a little bit strong and are simply too much, but when you look at how damaging fire can be, is it really that far out there? How else do you get people to stop doing something than with a hard line like impounding a vehicle? I don’t smoke, so the law wouldn’t affect me, but if you smoke in your vehicle why not just use the little ashtray in there and hang onto the cigarette butt until you can dispose of things safely? I don’t get why you’d just toss something that although seemingly insignificant can actually cause that much damage. As far as ensuring fires are out and abiding by fire ban laws, I would have to also say I agree. I enjoy camping and campfires are one of my favourite things about camping. I absolutely love the heat it gives off during the summer night, the smell, and watching the flames dancing through the night. But, I know that a fire can smoulder if not properly put out and that fire bans exist for a reason – safety – which means that to ignore them is to risk your life and everyone else’s in the area where you are. So, up the fines and hopefully stop the perpetrators because although they are few and far between it only takes one to cause the damage.

The Cost of Carelessness: Fines and fires In the wake of the Fort McMurray wildfires-which have displaced over 80,000 people, destroyed large parts of the city, stalled industry, and have set a new record for damage and destructionAlberta’s Minister of Forestry has stated that current fines for human fire starters are “not steep enough” and should be raised substantially. Lynne Bell Oneil Carlier told the CBC Observer Staff that the current Alberta fine of $5,000 for burning an outdoor fire without due care and attention-for individuals and corporations-should be raised. Carter suggests that the penalty for a person who starts a wildfire be increased to fines of $100,000 for individuals and $1 million for corporations. “It’s a good deterrent,” said Carlier. “I think it’s resonating with people. I think Albertans want to be safe, they want to keep themselves safe, their communities, their fellow citizens.” Although the cause of the Fort Mac fires are unknown at the time of writing, this forest fire season seems to -unfortunately-be threatening to rival last year’s wildfire warnings on the Prairies, when raging fires resulted in mass evacuations throughout northern Saskatchewan. This has prompted some provinces to re-examine the penalties they will mete out in the interest of preventing fires caused by human error and/or negligence. In Saskatchewan, punishments in the province’s Wildfires Act are currently some of the toughest in the country and are the template for Alberta’s propsed changes. Individuals are fined a maximum of $500,000 “for each day or part of a day during which the offence continues,” and/or imprisonment for up to three years. And corporations are fined up to $1 million per day or part of a day, during which the fire continues.

However, in spite of these tough punishments, a recent fire in Swift Current destroyed three homes. No one has been arrested, but fire officials have determined that the blaze was caused by a smoldering cigarette butt tossed on the nearby ground-and the individual responsible may not even be aware that their actions caused this fire. One of the most newsworthy penalities for careless fire-starting behaviors comes from British Columbia. When B.C.’s provincial government first raised the idealast summer- of vehicle seizures for anyone who threw a cigarette butt out of a car, public opinion ran the gamut from: “About time!” to “Unconstitutional.” At the time, the B.C. Goverment said in a press release: “This wildfire season has been one of the most challenging in recent memory. As of July 14, 2015, fire crews have responded to 1,083 fires throughout the province-compared to 523 at the same time a year ago. Of those fires, we know over one-third are human caused. That’s 375 fires, leading to an estimated 43,718 hectares going up in flames.” The document acknowledged that most people are “respectful, careful people who help protect our forests from devastating wildfires. But there are still too many individuals who haven’t heard the message and continue to make careless decisions that lead to wildfires.” With another dry summer forecast on the Prairies, governments are doing their utmost to manage the threat of wildfires-logistically and legally. And most people are using common sense and caution, too. In the words of Mike Morris from B.C.’s Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations: “Naturally occurring fires from sources like lightning are difficult enough for our dedicated firefighters to handle. If we’re going to continue to ask them to put their lives on the line to keep people and property safe, we need to do everything we can to end behaviors that lead to needless wildfires.”

Tossing the Tiara:

Author Jeanne Martinson presents keys to creating female leaders Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Cornerstone Family and Youth’s Girls Group “tossed their tiaras” at a recent presentation by author and diversity strategist, Jeanne Martinson. Martinson led the girls through a workshop-based on her book, “Tossing the Tiara”- which aims to inspire and encourage young women to embrace leadership roles. “Women are needed at all levels as leaders,” says Martinson, the author of seven books. “And we don’t have to wait until we’re older. Young women can run for school office, for example. And they can adopt a leadership mindset early. By understanding how we as women got where we are today and making different decisions, we can reduce the gap between reality and aspiration when it comes to things like the gender wage gap and having more women sit on the boards of corporations in Canada, for example.” “We’re absolutely committed to encouraging our girls to reach their potential as people,” says CFY coordinator, Jenn Sedor. “And Jeanne’s presentation-and the workshop format- allows the girls to actively learn about leadership in all aspects of their lives.” Martinson says that “Tossing the Tiara” addresses “how fairytales impart how it is we think, as girls and women.” “Fairytales are one of the earliest influences we have as children,” she says. “And they are one of the ways we’re taught how to think about ourselves, other girls, and guys. The stories have been around for over 400 years and with Disney, especially, most young women have encountered fairytales during their childhoods.” Martinson’s opinion is that “in the Disney versions of these stories, there are a lot of evil stepmothers. And there’s an underlying theme throughout the films that set us up for a lot of non-action. In Cinderella, we’re told that there will always be a fairy godmother to save us. In Sleeping Beauty, girls are told that one day their prince will come. In Snow White, her beauty is dangerous and in Beauty and the Beast, the message to women is that it’s always our duty to change the man in our lives.’ “It’s a really crippling influence, especially when it’s combined with another pervasive Disney message-that we should be the perfect princess.” “These narratives continue throughout women’s lives,” adds Martinson. “In Cinderella, the Prince saves Cinderella from poverty. In the movie, Pretty Woman, it’s the same story. A wealthy guy rescues a gal and they live happily ever after. But the problem with this message is that it teaches us not to take care of ourselves-especially economically.” Martinson says the gender wage gap still exists in Canada, with men still out-earning women on many fronts. “Ninety-four percent of the heads of Canada’s

“The sports we play matter,” says Martinson. “Through our participation in team sports, we learn a lot of lessons about leadership-such as the importance of having a coach, having the courage to try out, to focus on our job and do it really, really well instead of spreading ourselves so thin and doing everyone else’s job in addition to our own. Sports also teach the value of teamwork and celebrating each other’s successes. These are all things that guys learn and they carry over to the world of work.” Martinson-who is married “to a great guy”-says that tossing the proverbial tiara will make the lives of both women and men -and their families-better. “There are leadership opportunities throughout live for everyone,” she says. “When girls are able to reach their full potential, it makes life better for everyone.” “I think that when women understand the power of fairytales and the power they have to change the narrative, they make better decisions for the future-and that’s good news for everyone.” To learn more, visit www.martrain.org.

Moose Mountain Wado Kai grading took place on Tuesday, May 24, with youth and adults being graded on their abilities including general skill, kata, and kumite. Here a young girl displays a kick for the panel.

As Sensei Jayson counted the more seasoned students went through various set displays of their abilities for the grading panel.

Yellow/orange belts and lower worked on half of the gymnasium focusing on different skills as a group before participating in the kumite. The grading night was also the end of the year BBQ which marked a great season for the group that saw great competitions hosted in Carlyle, members made Team Saskatchewan, and a year of continuously improved students.

During the Kumite a controlled high kick to the head, not actually connecting, can earn a point.

After going through a kata, the less seasoned students took part in the kumite as well. The more seasoned Wado Kai students watch a battle between a brown belt and blue belt during the kumite.

As youth participated in the kumite they dodged and defended then attacked in a controlled manner.

Stratus Vapor Shop celebrates one-year anniversary

Carlyle’s Stratus Vapor Shop celebrated its first year in business on Saturday, May 21 with an informative open house, a visiting food truck and sales galore. “We’re happy to celebrate our first year of business here in Carlyle,” says owner Sandy. “Myself, my husband, Avery and our son Gordon are all involved in running the store here in Carlyle. And we’re pleased that our daughter Chevonne is joining us here today to assist our customers, too.” “There are four vaping experts on site and we’re happy to answer any questions people may have.” Sandy says that vaping is typically used for three reasonssmoking cessation, weight loss and relaxation or hobby use-and the store stocks “literally hundreds of flavours.” “We’ve had an incredible success rate with vaping as an aid for helping people stop smoking,” she says. “First of all, no matter what your reason for vaping, we have an in-store sample lounge. From there, a customer can come in the store and vape or they can purchase an e-cigarette to go. The e-juice is the flavoured elixir we put in the electronic cigarette.” “E-cigarettes are typically digital,” adds Sandy. “And holding it feels very much like holding a regu-

lar cigarette, but the only thing in the smoking cessation elixirs-or e-juices- are tobacco, so the smoker is missing about 3,000 additional chemicals that would be found in a regular cigarette.” “The nicotine elixirs we carry come in a variety of concentrations of tobacco-from zero to 24 milligrams. The average cigarette contains about 4.5 milligrams of nicotine.” “Someone trying to quit smoking with the help of vaping will do it at their own pace and will eventually taper off the tobacco until they reach the zero-tobacco mark. It takes the average person about six months to a year to complete the process and we’ve had success with many people of all ages from throughout the area. There’s a 90 percent success rate with vaping as far as quitting smoking and it’s also cheaper and healthier than many of the other things people try.” “A few of our customers have said their doctors have recommended vaping as a stop-smoking aid.

Local high school youth to compete at Provincials Kelly Running Observer Staff

Youth from across the coverage area of The Observer have found success in their Track and Field season with many youth moving through pre-Districts to Districts. Districts were held on Wednesday, May 25, with schools attending either the District meet in Moosomin or Weyburn. Manor School students were in Moosomin to compete in a variety of events. Many youth earned third place standings, but only the top two from each event were able to move onto Provincials which will be held Friday, June 3, and Saturday, June 4, in Regina. The school did have one competitor to break into the top two of an event and Trista Kennett (second Sr. Girls Shot Put – 8.63m) will be heading to Provincials in Regina. From Arcola various competitors made it through the pre-district meet in Carnduff to compete in Weyburn. Again the school saw students finishing just out of reach of provincials, but three young women did find success. For Sr. Girls Shania Taylor will move on in shot put (first - 9.88m) and javelin (second 26.51m); Abigail Birch in Midget Girls has moved on in hurdles (second - 13.05s) and the 4x100 metre relay race; Melissa Ellis has also moved on in javelin (second - 24.27m) within Midget Girls. Out of Wawota three students have also clenched spots in

the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Association (SHSAA) Provincial competition. Devin Stewart will compete in the 100 metre hurdles for Sr. Boys (first – 15.49s); Allan Jose Vileta in the midget boys category will compete in the 100m (first - 11.65s) and broke the District record, 200m (second - 24.78s), long jump (second - 5.44m), triple jump (second – 10.83m), and 4x100m relay within the Midget Boys category; while Olivia Lawrence in the Sr. Girls has earned a spot to compete at Provincials while setting the 100m District record (first – 12.30s), 200m (first - 25.87s), 400m (first – 1.03.70s), long jump (first – 5.15m), 4x100m relay, and the 4x400m relay. Lampman School had five students attend Districts in Weyburn following pre-Districts. Brantley Carson in Midget Boys earned a first place in long jump (5.68m) and will move on in this category to Provincials. Youth from Carlyle had a very good showing with eight moving on. Gracie Schutz sped along in the Midget Girls category and will move on in the 100m (second – 13.41s), 200m (first – 27.40s), and 400m (first - 1.08.92s). Tucker Sharp in the Midget Boys will be running in the 3,000m (second - 11.11.27s); Halen Duhaime competing in Jr. Boys has advanced in shot put (second - 10.31m) and discus (second - 28.22m); Sam Matthewson will move on in Jr. Boys discus (first

In order to move on to the District meet in Weyburn, youth had to qualify at Pre-Districts. Here Dylan C. of Arcola sets a new record at the Pre-District meet in Carnduff, Wednesday, May 18. Dylan out threw the existing record (which was his record) of 11.24m in shot put with an 11.88m throw. – 32.55m); Alex Messer competing in the Jr. Boys category has earned a spot in triple jump (10.83m); Jorja Bendtsen will move on in 80m hurdles (second – 13.14s) within the Junior Girls category; Karli Colpitts in Jr. Girls advanced in shot put (first – 9.78m), discus (first - 28.87m), and javelin (second – 25.24m); Taylor Sargent will compete at Provincials in the Jr. Girls category in the 80m hurdles (first – 12.68s)and the 100m (54.14s); and Kyle Sargent in Sr. Boys will participate in the 200m (first – 23.37s) and 400m (first - 54.14s). Students from Stoughton attended the day competing in various events with Beth-Ann Goudy in the Sr. Girls earning a spot in Provincials with her discus throw (second – 23.20m) and Cale Piper with the Midget Boys

moving on in discus as well (second – 31.00m). “It was a cold, windy, rainy, and miserable day, but spirits were high and the athletes were steadfast in

their resolve to compete and do their best,” Eugene Brown, the track and field coach in Arcola said. Track and field coach from Manor, Mi-

chelle Cundall agreed that the weather was awful, but the competitors dug deep to do their best despite the cold, rainy day.

World Cup hype is legitimate

By Bruce Penton National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman is usually all hype when it comes to taking about his league, but this time he’s not exaggerating. “We believe the World Cup of Hockey will be the best international hockey tournament ever staged,” said Bettman. Just because the hockey season in Canada doesn’t last long enough, the NHL and the NHL Players Association have teamed up for the World Cup of Hockey, set to run the last two weeks of September in Toronto. The World Cup should be everything Bettman says it will be. The best teams in the world. The best players. Not only will the world’s six major hockey countries — Canada, Russia, U.S., Sweden, Finland and Czech Republic — be represented by its most skilled players, the field will have two other teams — ‘North America’, a kids’ team made up of Canadians and Americans 23-and-under; and Team Europe, consisting of players from various countries not among the world powers. Canada, with Sidney Crosby, Carey Price and Jonathan Toews the headliners, will likely be favoured, but the U.S. with Patrick Kane, the Russians with Alex Ovechkin, the Swedes with Erik Karlsson; the Czechs with Tomas Plekanec and the Finns with Pekka Rinne will offer stiff competition.

But it will be super easy for hockey fans in North America to root for the kids — the 23-andunder squad featuring the likes of Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews, Jack Eichel and Sean Monahan, to name but four. In fact, that North American team vs. either Canada or the U.S. for the gold medal is not a far-fetched scenario. Many of the Canadian players are vets — with at least three of them (Crosby, Joe Thornton and Brent Burns) coming off a Stanley Cup final that will have a mid-June finish, giving that exhausted trio just enough time off to wash their underwear and play two rounds of golf before gathering in Toronto for the World Cup. Their enthusiasm level might be a tad lower than the kids, who will have a lot to prove, not to mention a lot of energy. The 82-game NHL season can get boring, and the playoffs are often defensive snorefests, so perhaps a hockey tournament with national pride at stake will bring out the best. Hockey fans around the world will be paying close attention to this tournament, an event even better than Olympic hockey, because this

field won’t be saddled with bottom feeders such as Switzerland, Latvia, Austria and Slovenia. Toronto during the last two weeks of September could be the place to be and If the Blue Jays are in a heated pennant race at the same time, it will be a sports fan’s bonanza. • Headline at SportsPickle.com: “Phil Mickelson forcing his caddy to pay 10 per cent of SEC fine for insider trading.” • TC in BC: “Phil Mickelson is planning to change that KPMG hat that he wears to KMPG – Keep My Personal Gains.” • Steve Burgess of Vancouver, writing in 24Hours.ca in the aftermath of the Rougned Odor-Jose Bautista baseball fight: “Odor got an eight-game suspension, which should give him plenty of time to pose for the statue they’ll erect in front of Rangers Park in Arlington.” • Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg, after Exaggerator won the Preakness Stakes by 3½ lengths: “Of course, he said he won by 7 lengths.” • Janice Hough of LeftCoastSportsBabe. com on the Preakness: “Otherwise known to millions as the race that

answers the question: ‘Do we care about the Belmont this year?’ ” • Winging it in Motown, on Twitter, after Bryan Rust’s two goals gave Pittsburgh a seventh-game 2-1 win over Tampa in the Stanley Cup playoﬀs: “And we were worried about Stamkos being rusty. Guess we should have worried about Rust being Stamkosy.” • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Astros outﬁelder George Springer yanked a foul drive onto a concourse at Minute Maid Park that bounded into a funnel-cake fryer at a concession stand. In other words, it was a deep-fry ball to left.” • Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “The Pittsburgh Pirates concession stands unveiled a hot dog covered in Cracker Jack, macaroni and cheese and caramel sauce. How did they forget the cigarettes?” • Dickson again: “A ball boy at the Italian Open passed out during a Venus Williams match. I believe he initially felt faint when she took the court wearing

something normal looking.” • RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Saturday, May 21, was World Whisky Day. ‘There’s only one day for that?’ asked Johnny Manziel.” • Tonight Show’s Jimmy Fallon on NBC: “A new poll found that 90 per cent of Native Americans aren’t bothered by the controversial name of the Washington Redskins.

It turns out the name Native Americans dislike the most is still the Cowboys.” • Alex Kaseberg again: “UCLA has signed a $280 million shoe and apparel deal with Under Armour.

May 25. Trudy Davidson of Kingston, NS visited with her sister Susan Davidson and other family members recently. Congratulations to Cali and Ian Wiersma of Calgary on the birth of a daughter on May 24.She weighed 6 lbs 3 oz and has been named Olivia Willow. A bridal shower was held at the Wawota Drop In on Saturday, May 28th. This shower was in honour of Chelsey Lincoln who will become the bride of Scott Ast later this summer. Wawota would like to welcome Anne Prince to town. She will be living in the former Phyllis

Blaize house. She and Garnet, Dassa and Cimarron lived in Wawota for several years in the past. I have been informed that both Gene Frazer and his wife Daisy passed away last year. He passed away last December and Daisy had passed away in May of 2015. Gene was the Royal Bank manager in Wawota in the 1960’s. I am surprised at how many local people apparently have friends in Ghana!! They have never been there so their connection must be on the internet. Several months ago I had a request for a friendship on the internet. When I clicked on she had as a mutual contact, a lo-

cal person. She told me she was 23 years old and from Miami. There wasn’t much conversation so I asked her how she knew our mutual acquaintance and she said he was her best friend. I then asked her how she knew him and she said from the internet. Her next message said she was in Brazil. I was waiting for a request for money, to start a business, pay for school or medical bills. Then she said she had something to tell me and after a couple of weeks, HE said he was a 21 year old black boy who lived in Ghana!! This shows you that anyone can pretend to be anyone they want or anyone you want them to be!!

The things that matter most By Linda Wegner We’ve recently returned from a wonderful ten days spent with family and friends in Saskatchewan. While it was our granddaughters pinning ceremony and her pending convocation from the University of Saskatchewan that prompted the trip, it was the every day things that brought back treasured memories. I call them “the things that matter most”. First there was the emotion-charged reunion with our middle granddaughter. The mental picture of her as a shy, slightly chubby preschooler kept popping up, even as I viewed her as she is now: six

feet tall, slim, beautiful and soon to be officially recognized as a Registered Nurse. I won’t say more because, as is well known, every grandparent thinks their children’s offspring are the most intelligent, beautiful and noteworthy beings on earth. Ours definitely are but I’ll leave it at that. Then there was the time spent with our son and his wife, more like a daughter than a daughterin-law. The difference, though, is that now we’re the ones who need an afternoon nap and regular snacks. A very special visit involved a nearly three hour round trip by car to visit long time friends in an-

other town. Some of our ﬁrst acquaintances early in our marriage, Eva is 89 years old and still living on the farm with her son. Although the thought of all that driving (on top of all we’d already done) was daunting, the realization that this could be our last face-to-face visit was the deciding factor. The time spent with them was rich with blessings, bringing home the truth that the things that matter most truly cannot be counted in money or in time. “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21 None of us escapes the encroachment of time but each decides what matters most in life. Choose well.

Pause for Reflection

Running with dad and running with God

There is something joyful about running. A sad person walks. And the two kinds of running that are sad are running out of money and running away. Everyone wants to be a runner: “I get runner’s high on my way to the fridge.” “I can’t remember the last time I did any running, but I’m jogging my memory.” I remember running with my children. Some of the sweetest memories are running with a child who wants to be “like daddy”. I remember my young son running around the race track and being so far ahead of me that it took me a while to lap him. Then I really had to work hard to catch up again. I discovered by reversing my direction, I could run toward him most of the time. Running with your adult children has its own special meaning. Grandchildren add their own beauty. My granddaughter said to me, “Let’s face it Grandpa, you’re basically old.” What sweet innocence! A little later when her younger sister had run on ahead far enough toward the playground, I challenged her to a race. I let her start early, then caught up and stayed just two steps ahead of her until we caught up to her sister. God the Father wants to run with us. Since it was a little diﬃcult to arrange that, God leveled the ﬁeld by sending his Son in human form. Now we can walk with Jesus and run with God more easily.

Olympic runner Eric Liddle said, “When I run I feel God’s pleasure.” The bible records instances of persons running to the Lord. On the resurrection morning Peter and the other disciple (likely John) ran to the tomb and Peter was outrun in this race. In Mark 9:25 we see a crowd was rapidly gathering, to rush toward Jesus. The closest I have come to seeing people run to Jesus is attending the Rock Concert Jesus Christ Superstar. When the auditorium doors opened there was a rush of people heading for them. It felt more like a crush of people and caution was suddenly necessary. “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race,” Paul says in 2 Timothy 4:7. There are numerous references to the efficacy of running to Jesus: “When we run to him he saves us” Psalm 37:40. “I run the way of your commandments, since you have set me free” Psalm 119:32. As parents and grandparents we still need to keep running the Good Race. If our children want to run with their parents, they need to know that we are in church on Sunday morning. Our grandchildren need to know that is true of their parents. At some point God may ask us to run on ahead and get things ready for our children. It is a good race and everyone can win! If our lives have purpose and direction, others will want to follow us.
