Moose Mountain Wado Kai Karate Club hosts Manitoba Provincials The Moose Mountain Wado Kai Karate Club hosted the Manitoba Provincial tournament Saturday, April 30 in Carlyle-where they received the “Club Award” for the most points received during the tournament. Marlee Cormier of the Wado Kai club (pictured) was just one of the members who contributed to the event’s success.

Members of the Moose Mountain club also assisted with judging and scorekeeping, staffed the belt room and helped run the canteen, among other volunteer duties.“We’re really proud of all of our members who came out and supported this provincial event,” says Sensei Kevin Dyck of Carlyle. “We were happy to host them here in Carlyle. And hopefully, things will work out so we can visit and compete in Manitoba next year.”

Students at Arcola School reminded to take time to do what they love Kelly Running Observer Staff

Dealing with loss can be very difficult. For Michelle Golebiowski, a professional public speaker based out of Winnipeg, this was compounded in her younger years with the loss of both her parents, her grandfather, and her best friend within 18 months.

Golebiowski stopped in at Arcola School on Friday, April 29, to speak about how she was able to cope and spoke about the importance of self-care as well as encouraging youth to reach out for help when an unexpected life challenge occurs.

“It was on February 12, 2006, at 8:08 a.m., I know it was at 8:08 a.m. because that’s the time I took the bus to school, that Mom passed away. She was my rock, she taught us to be resilient. ‘No matter what happens,’ she used to say, ‘you can come talk to me,” Golebiowksi said.

“For six months I pretended that she was on vacation, for me it was a coping strategy, it worked for a little while, but not forever.”

That September her grandfather passed away and the day of her grandfather’s funeral she spoke to her best friend for the last time. Her friend was a tow truck driver and while driving in Winnipeg at 4:30 a.m. a drunk driver collided with the truck.

“Somebody else’s choice took my best friend away,” she stated.

Then, six months later, her father passed away.

There was a lot of loss in her life in a very short amount of time, but she says staying in school and being able to finish her program was important to her and was something her loved ones would have wanted her to finish. Getting through school, however, is difficult to do when you’ve gone through a loss and Golebiowski had gone through four.

“People always ask me how I got through it, I kept each of their obituaries in the back of one of my books, and carried

them with me,” she said. “It would have been so easy to give up and walk away, but I wasn’t raised like that, giving up wasn’t an option.”

Honouring her loved ones she became focused on finishing school. Following university she began speaking about road safety and telling the story about her friend who was taken from her by a drunk driver.

However, she wanted to do more, and with mental illness in her family, both her father and grandfather had dealt with mental illnesses, she wanted to bring awareness to mental health and the importance of self care strategies.

For Golebiowksi self care includes playing the guitar, watching comedy shows, riding dirt bikes, and doing other things she’s passionate about.

“You need to do something that makes you feel good,” she told the grade eight to 12 students at Arcola School. “You get to pick and you get to decide what that is.”

“And we need to support each other.”

Following the presentation, Principal Ron Wardrope said to students, “We all go through difficult times and you have to make sure you take care of yourself.”

The Power of POWfit: Brandyy-Lee Maxie’s Indigenous Inspiration Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Personal trainer and powwow dancer BrandyyLee Maxie has created POWfit- a fitness class that is “culturally-inspired” as part of her mission to help prevent diabetes in First Nation communities. Maxie grew up on White Bear First Nation and says: “It’s a class suitable for everyone-both First Nations and non-First Nations people. It’s fun, but it also incorporates our cultural teachings.”

“I take various dance moves from different powwow styles and I introduce them to a fitness routine,” explains Maxie. “I use styles from the contemporary powwow and I try and choose music from First Nations artists. I’ll use round dance or side-step music for certain routines. I sometimes use urban Aboriginal music, for example, music by ‘A Tribe Called Red.’” “I introduce the fitness routine and I give a background to a group of origin stories, so it’s a fitness class and an introduction to indigenous culture.”

Maxie’s POWfit classes are typically an hour long, and have both cardio routines and strength training.

“I wanted to create something that was fun and something that would allow other people to participate in the powwow without the regalia,” she says.

“My classes are for everyone, but I have a special interest in helping to reduce diabetes in First Nations communities.”

“When I was pregnant with my youngest son,” says the 33-year-old mother of three. “I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. It didn’t go away after he was born and I was told it was Type 2 (diabetes). I asked what I could do and I was advised to lose weight... I didn’t want to go to the gym, but I started working out with a lot of online videos, like Zumba, Tahitian cardio and belly dance-that are all culturally-inspired.”

“When I lost the weight, the diabetes went away,” she says. “Diabetes is especially prevalent in First Nations people and that’s why I encourage First Nations people to adopt healther lifestyles.”

“My dad has diabetes, my sister has diabetes, I had gestational diabetes that didn’t go away after the birth of my son. He’s seven now, and he’s been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.”

“With diabetes, often the focus is on foot care, eye care and managing the disease, rather than prevention. But I’m trying to break down barriers for people in First Nations communities to help

Brandyy-Lee Maxie -pictured instructing a class- has harnessed the power of the powwow and combined it with her credentials as a certified fitness trainer to create POWfit, a culturally-inspired fitness class. “I wanted to create something that was fun and something that would allow other people to participate in the powwow without the regalia.” One of Maxie’s regular classes is held at the University of Saskatchewan’s Physical Activity Centre in Saskatoon. “My classes are for everyone,” she says. “But I have a special interest in helping to reduce diabetes in First Nations communities.” them get fit.”

“My personal fitness journey began about seven years ago,” says Maxie. “And I’m not done my fitness journey. I’m not everyone’s vision of what a fitness instructor looks like. But it’s not about that.

It’s about health and well-being.”

“I’ve struggled with an eating disorder where I struggled with body image issues and I was starving myself. And I’ve also gone to the other extreme, where I’ve used food as an emotional cushion,” she says. “Everybody has their own fitness journey. We all start somewhere and we all have our ups and downs and challenges.”

While developing POWfit-which she is in the process of trademarking-Maxie also embarked on

Brandyy-Lee Maxie’s POWfit program was inspired by both her indigenous culture and her individual fitness journey. “ When I was pregnant with my youngest son-who’s seven now-I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes,” says Maxie. “It didn’t go away after he was born and I was told it was Type 2 (diabetes). I asked what I could do and I was advised to lose weight...I didn’t want to go to the gym, but I started working out with a lot of online videos, like Zumba, Tahitian cardio and belly dance-that are all culturally-inspired....So POWfit incorporates our cultural teachings.”

what she calls “an entrepreneurial journey.”

“I come from a family of entrepeneurs and my parents (Jackie and Delmar Maxie) had the Maxie Ranch and Riding Stables, along with a petting zoo, tipi camp and the craft and gift shop there.”

“My entrepreneurial journey is quite a journey,” says Maxie. “I couldn’t find work or a home and I had to separate from my kids for a while... I did a presentation at a First Nations entrepreneurship competition and I had to make a pitch to W. Brett Wilson of CBC’s Dragon’s Den. It was quite nervewracking and exciting at the same time.”

Maxie not only impressed Wilson, she went on to enter and win numerous other business competitions, learning more about business and networking along the way, while studying journalism at Regina’s First Nations University and “getting the fitness certifications I needed.”

Since then, her POWfit classes have been taught at the “Y” in Regina, the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, and in First Nations and non-First Nations communities throughout the province.

Even with the growing success of her venture, Maxie says she will be most gratified if POWfit can positively impact the health of people from First Nations and other communities throughout Canada.

“My measure of success is not so much monetary, but how I can affect health statistics in my community, in Saskatchewan, or even nationally,” she says.

“My children Valyncia (Sparvier), 12, Cassius (Maxie), 9, and Adonis (Maxie), 7, are really my driving force.”

“My grandma’s last powwow was last year in Regina. I still have the jingle dress she made me when I was 16. I put my dress away while my grandma was sick, but I danced in her honour this year.”

“Life happens and that’s really why my focus is so much on prevention and healthy living,” says Maxie.

“Maybe I had to explore all of this with my family and loved ones so I could help people live healthier, longer lives.”

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

Translating the technical terms

I’ve worked in health care all my life so when I hear health care managers talk, their words make sense to me. But I have a staff member who is driven wild by what she calls the mumbo-jumbo of technocrats. We have professional planners/managers whose job it is to ensure our specic local programs are meeting the needs of our patients/residents and clients. Instead of using plain English to explain their plans, they talk in the language of their own specialty. They use a lot of words like framework and strategy, access, collaborative, value stream mapping, model of service delivery, interdisciplinary and on and on. Health care planning has its own language in the same way that computer techies and any other very specialized line of work has.

Unfortunately, we often forget the public does not understand what we are saying. We have a few examples on our website that we have yet to root out.

So, I’m going to translate for you. (Our Patient Family Advisory Council is also helping us translate documents, on a regular basis.)

The gist of all the conversation from planners is that health care is not just about the particular kind of treatment needed by patients, residents and clients.

It is also about HOW that treatment should be provided.

What is the best approach for today’s clients? What are the best practices that Sun Country Health Region needs to incorporate into its programs?

Since the practice of health care changes quite regularly, programs are reviewed regularly.

Take mental health issues for example. Years ago, if you suffered a mental health illness, you might be admitted to one of the two large mental health institutions in the province. The Weyburn Mental Hospital, as it was called, was one of the two. You might be admitted involuntarily for a few months or forever.

You may have had little or no input into the decision to be admitted or released. You received very much the same kind of care no matter what your illness was.

These days, there are a number of ways to receive a diagnosis and treatment for a mental illness. You might start with your family doctor or nurse practitioner, a trip to the local hospital emergency room, or a call to Sun Country Health Region’s Mental Health and Addictions Department. You might receive treatment from a psychologist or a psychiatrist or a mental health worker, or an addictions counselor. You might receive treatment on a regular basis while still living at home, or move to a facility for a time. In recent years, clients can be offered counselling sessions on telehealth, eliminating the need to travel. They’ve also been offered on-line counselling and very carefully-designed self-treatment programs on-line between professional visits.

The point is, the way treatment is provided – the HOW – has changed dramatically. All those changes required careful planning by the technocrats with their charts and special techniques and tools. This is the case with almost every other kind of program we offer. Otherwise, we would have chaos.

So when you hear one of our health care ofcials speaking in “technese,” be kind. Health care is a very complex line of work. And then, boldly insist on a translation.

Weekly RCMP report Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

The Carlyle RCMP detachment responded to several calls from Friday, April 22 to Thursday, April 28.

Fraud Staff Sgt. Darren Simons says that the detachment is still deeply concerned about incidents of internet and/or telephone fraud in the area which involve false threats from Canada Revenue Agency, Canadian Border Services and the RCMP. “We have one case in which an individual from the detachment area has been defrauded of thousands of dollars due to a fraud from someone claiming to be from the

Canada Revenue Agency.

This person paid in iTunes cards.”

“There is no shame in falling prey to these people,” says Simons.

“They are experts and they are professionals. That is what they do and they’reunfortuately-very good at what they do.”

“We absolutely urge people to report anything like this to the RCMP and we remind the public that no government agencies issue threats like this and they certainly don’t demand a timeline in this way.”

“We are aware that there is another scam involving a website where the RCMP demand payment in euros. First of all, we don’t use euros and secondly, that is not how the RCMP operates.”

“There is also another scam where the caller states they’re with the Canadian Gaming Associa-

tion and they’re affiliated with Lotto Max,” says Simons. “They will tell you you’ve won $500,000 and that you just have to send money first.”

“If you’re ever told you’ve won money and you’re asked to send money first, it’s a scam.”

“If you receive a threatening, persistent call that resembles one of these situations, please call the RCMP or a family member before you do anything.”

ATV safety Staff Sgt. Simons says that ATV safety is also an issue of concern to the RCMP. “The ATV Act of Saskatchewan can be easily accessed online,” says Simons. “It states that no person under the age of 16 years should operate an ATV unsupervised. However, there are exceptions where drivers who are at least 12-years-old can

operate them while supervised.”

“This week, two kids under ten were operating a side-by-side unsupervised.

Neither one of them was wearing a helmet or a seatbelt. Unfortunately, one of them had to be transported to hospital by air after they had an accident.”

Fire Staff Sgt. Simons stated that the RCMP have assisted at six fires during the last week.

“It’s dry out there.

Don’t leave fires unattended and don’t burn unless you absolutely have to.”

Other calls this week included: Assault Police responded to an assault at a residence in the Carlyle area, which culminated in their attendance at the same home for three different matters.

Quote of the Week . . .

“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”

- Anais Nin

Liking and posting on social media

The other day I noticed one of my friends liked a post on Facebook; it was two photos which were set up beside each other. The one was a picture of a sign saying “trail” with greenery around it and someone had written “This is an antidepressant.” The other photo was of antidepressant medication and Kelly Running the description read “This is Observer Staff s***.”

I instantly became a little upset and wondered how people could “like” the image. For myself, I avoid taking medication if I can. If I have a pain I usually avoid a pain killer unless it’s nearly unbearable. If I have a cold I wait the week to see if it’s something that needs antibiotics or if I’m just going to get over it on my own. It’s just how I am, if I can deal with it without medication I will, however, if I can’t then I’m happy to take what the doctor prescribes.

Personally I’d rather not take something if I don’t have to. However, sometimes your body needs a little extra help, which is fine. You shouldn’t feel ashamed for it. I think that is especially obvious with people dealing with mental health issues. Walking is great and any exercise releases endorphins which are supposed to make you happy. However, if your brain circuitry isn’t firing properly, no amount of exercise, yoga, etc… will help you until your brain’s circuitry is rewired.

It just isn’t going to happen until then.

Last week in the paper there was a mental health article in which someone I interviewed who had been dealing with anxiety explains this. She attempted to follow natural remedies, was told to go for walks and exercise, but in reality she needed a little extra help because the naturopathy wasn’t working. So… why do we as a society feel it’s acceptable to shame people for taking this kind of medication? If they need it to become better, then let them be.

Yes, there are people out there who are considered “pill pushers” and those are the ones that will take something for anything. This is hurting, there’s a pill for that. I have a slight headache, there’s a pill for that. A lot of the time a little extra water will make a big difference in the body when it comes to headaches and the like, but sometimes more is needed. And if it is needed, people who preach the natural remedies shouldn’t shame others for their choices.

Sadly this shaming isn’t for things like Advil, it’s usually for people dealing with mental health issues. Are you going to tell someone with cancer that they just need to eat more blueberries or other foods high in antioxidants? By telling someone dealing with a mental health issue in which they need medication to help their brains get back on track that they just need to go for a walk is the exact same thing. For some people, yes, a walk is all they need; but, for others a walk can be helpful but it’s not always enough.

A lot of the time you have no idea who is going through what and someone you’re friends with on Facebook could have a mental health issue in which they’re taking medication for. So, be sensitive to other people and what they’re going through before you post or like something on social media or in your conversations with others.

When there isn’t a card that fits As the days moved along this week, cards were mailed, flowers delivered, phone calls made and restaurants buzzing all in the aim of thanking the women who raised us in a celebration of Mother’s Day. With my youngest anticipating her high school graduation in just a few weeks, I have had numerous conversations with other moms as we’ve Shelley Luedtke shared our disbelief that our babies have grown up and are eagerly spreading their wings. It has lead to several discussions about our jobs as mothers, and more than once I have heard someone repeat the oft-said statement that parenting is the hardest job there is. Agreed--to a point. It is the hardest job in that it is one of the most important we will ever undertake. Raising hardworking, responsible, caring, ethical kids from children to adulthood requires tremendous effort. For every lesson and value you attempt to teach, numerous contradictory ideas and positions come at them from multiple sources.

Good parenting requires steadfastness and unwavering commitment to doing what is best--not what may come easiest in the moment. What makes it so hard is what is at stake--our children--and the futures we hope for them.

As a mom there have been days I have pulled my hair out, cried my eyes out or poured my heart out. Are those days hard? Yes. Very. But they are often followed by ones filled with meaningful talks, or apologies, or good news, or celebrations.

It’s called taking the good with the bad. It’s called weighing the achievements with the challenges. It’s called…life. And we certainly wouldn’t give up the tremendous joys of parenthood simply to avoid the challenges that come along with it.

Yes, at times it’s hard. But it shouldn’t be thought of that way simply because of what we are doing, if what we are doing is helping with homework, or running to hockey and soccer, or getting kids to church, or putting stars on charts for

completed chores, or juggling play dates, or making time for driving lessons, or attending parentteacher interviews, or sourcing student loans or any of the other tasks that are part of parenting.

They may cause us to furrow our brows, or groan in exasperation one day and fatigue the next, but guess what? It means those children are capable of all those tasks. They can learn, achieve, run, make friends, set plans and dream dreams. What a busy, costly, stressful yet totally amazing adventure it is.

There are other parents whose daily journey and future hopes look so different. Those whose path has diverged suddenly from anticipated because unexpected physical or emotional challenges have become part of their parenting experience.

Mothers who face a hard job each and every day and not necessarily receive the kind of support and honour they are due. There may not be a card that fits, so let’s give them the consideration they need.

The mothers raising children who will never be able to walk. Those who will never learn to ride a bike or drive a car. Mothers raising children who won’t earn a diploma. Mothers who have sat by their child’s hospital bedside willing recovery to come. Mothers who have walked their young adult into an addictions centre seeking help. Mothers whose visits are limited by the boundaries established by agencies, or ones that take place separated by glass. Mothers whose child is unable to make eye contact. Mothers who will never hear their child say “I love you.” Mothers who have stood beside a graveside having to do the unthinkable.

For all of these, motherhood is different than what they expected or dreamed. They may not be the recipients of cards, texts or phone calls that traditionally occur the second Sunday in May, but they have faithfully and to the best of their ability sought to do the best they can in situations other mothers have little frame of reference. Although some may look at them with empathy or judgement; compassion or disdain; the best moms do what is hard by doing what is right for their child.

For them, we celebrate the heart of what it means to be a mom.

That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

From the circus to a conservation site As a kid, the circus was soooo exciting. We always got tickets for the one in Swift Current and I remember how excited I was to go each year. After all they brought in these amazing animals and did cool stunts like the guy on a dirt bike in a giant ball, he got going so fast he was completely sideways!

Kelly Running Older now, I realize that alObserver Staff though the exotic animals are a great attraction for kids who are fascinated with elephants and the like it’s not really a life for such a large animal.

The Wawa Shriners usually have exotic animals, but as the contract to bring exotic animals to Saskatchewan expired, they decided to go in a different direction. This year they will be hosting an equestrian show which being as Saskatchewan is heavily agricultural will be enjoyed, as people marvel at the talents of the riders and the abilities of the horses. Also to be featured are aerial, high wire, and dance performers.

Sounds like a great show and I feel as though taking care of a horse would be a little easier than caring for an elephant.

Children absolutely love animals and this is why the Shriners want to keep some in the show.

Stuart Larson, provincial circus event chairman with the Shriners, is excited to bring a show that is along the lines of a Cirque du Soleil performance over the traditional circus thereby appealing to kids and adults alike.

The 145-year-old Ringling Bros. circus, “The Greatest Show on Earth,” has also held its final shows featuring elephants.

Public concerns had created pressure in regards to the well-being of the elephants in the circus with activists criticizing the circus for forcing intelligent animals with complex social relationships in the wild to live a life of captivity and isolation.

These 11 elephants which took part in the final show will head to the Ringling Bros. Center for Elephant Conservation, along with approximately 30 others, to the “largest Asian elephant herd in the Western Hemisphere.”

The larger the animal the more difficult it must be to take care of them as well. So, I think it’s likely a good thing to stop taking exotic animals on tour.

Personally I’d much rather see an animal in the wild, if it’s dangerous maybe from a ways away, but I definitely prefer to see them in the wild, their natural habitat.

I don’t know about other people, but I always wonder about why people do what we do. Why do we dress monkeys up, train elephants to do balancing acts, and have a fascination with putting animals, especially exotic ones, on display? Although I love zoos I sometimes wonder if they’re the best place for animals, in an enclosure. Yes I’m sure they’re well taken care of but it’s not really natural for an animal to live in an enclosure.

It does seem like a double standard, however, that animals considered pets are kept in an enclosure. A backyard, tied to a chain, in a cage, etc…

We see them as part of the family and we make sure they get exercise and are fed, but it’s typical in society to keep these animals because we love them and aren’t making money off of their abilities to do tricks, maybe? I’m not really sure. But somehow a pet is different than an exotic animal… the only real difference though, is that a dog or cat, even a horse, were domesticated many years ago.

As Lynne put it after I made this comment, “We are walking contradictions sometimes!”

A Fitting First for Saskatchewan’s Shriners The circus is coming to town, but it’s going to look a little different this year.

The province’s Wawa Shriners-who sponsor the shows under the Big Top-have tweaked tradition by removing exotic animals from the program, replacing them with a circus that features more horses, as well as Lynne Bell aerial, high-wire, and dance perObserver Staff formances with a comedic edge.

In addition, it will be renamed “The Equestrian and M’ceo Show.”

The Saskatchewan Shriners’ contract with the business that supplied elephants and other exotic animals for the circus expired, which prompted the club to re-examine their options.

The Shriner’s provincial circus event chair, Stuart Larson told The Regina Leader Post: “Our moral compass doesn’t point us in that direction anymore.

The last couple of years we have been concerned with the opinion of people and we’re cognizant of that and feel the same.”

“These animals weren’t meant to be in that world and were put into that service. We just don’t agree with it. So we are distancing ourselves from that and going forward with a new model.”

Larson added that the incorporation of a more horse-heavy performance model made sense for two reasons- citing both Saskatchewan’s agricultural roots and children’s inherent enjoyment of animals-which made eliminating animals entirely from the show an undesirable option.

The show will be the first of its kind in Canada, but Larson admits: “It’s sort of distanced us from the rest of the Shrine world.”

Traditionalists may wring their hands, but I think this is an idea that should be embraced by Shriners’ groups across the country, for two reasons.

Firstly, although there are still wild horses, the horse is largely a domesticated animal, unlike elephants, bears, monkeys and other species that are co-opted into circus service, which is at best, a highly stressful environment for them, and at worst, a highly inhumane and even torturous one.

In the pre-Google past, circus audiences were largely unaware of the undesirable effects of circus life on animals that are undomesticated and forced into an alien environment to “perform” under duress.

However, most of us no longer have the luxury of ignorance regarding the reality of circus life for exotic animals; and Saskatchewan’s Shriners are to be commended for coming up with a compromise that will satisfy audiences and their consciences.

And the second reason? Shriners Hospitalswhich are partially-funded by events like the Shrine Circus.

“As Shriners, our purpose and (reason for) being is the hospital system,”said Larson to the Leader Post. “We have 22 hospitals across North America and basically those hospital systems are meant for the children who can’t get the care in Canada or the U.S. that we offer.”

Now, who can argue with that?

We celebrate the cherry tree not for its efficiency but for its effectiveness - and for its beauty. Its materials are in constant flow, and all those thousands of useless cherry blossoms look gorgeous. Then they fall to the ground and become soil again, so there’s no problem William McDonough

Working hard and having fun Submitted by Southeast Vipers Volleyball Club The Southeast Vipers worked hard and had fun on the weekend of provincials, April 29 – May 1.

The girls started off the tournament in a pool of six teams working hard and winning games against Nipawin Ice, Waldheim United, East Central Elite, and the Hafford Warriors. The Vipers placed second in their pool behind the Weyburn Elite team. With a record of four wins and one loss the girls had made it into Division 2, Tier 1.

The next morning saw the girls up and ready for action at 8 a.m. in a tough game versus Muenster. Giving the Muenster team a battle the girls were unable take the win, but played with a lot of heart, never giving up. The girls then came up against RVC in a fantastic match, which saw long rallies and great efforts on both sides of the court.

The match went to three and the final score was close with RVC winning by two points.

Heading into their final game the girls dug deep and finished on a high note winning the match over Martinsville Outerlimits. The battle was another tough one going to three sets.

It was a weekend of great volleyball, a lot of heart, and a lot of success coming out of the southeast with Weyburn finishing fourth in Div 2, Tier 1 in the bronze game versus Muenster; the Redcoat Rebels finishing second in Div 2, Tier 1 in the gold medal match against Foam Lake Thunder; and the Oxbow Black Knights who were able to reach Div 1 following Sask Cup 3 finished 6th in the province with their final game against Saskatoon HVC Heat.

The Vipers will head out to Westerns for the May long weekend to play in Calgary.

Four ways to show your love Mother’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to express all your love and gratitude to the mother of your children, whether they’re still small or all grown up. Embrace the woman in your life with tenderness, and highlight this special day with a gift she’ll never forget.

• Give her some of her favourite �lowers and accompany your bouquet with a message that’s both touching and sincere.

Write “I love you,” tell her how happy you are to live with her and thank her for bringing your beloved children into the world.

• Choose some jewelry with special meaning: a “motherand-child” or heartshaped pendant; a ring; earrings or a bracelet in gold or silver. Have it engraved with a loving word, your initials or an im-

portant date.

• Invite her to a fancy restaurant with just you or with the kids. It’s a great opportunity for her to discover local specialties or �lavours from around the world. Or, �ind out about gourmet hotel packages that will let her prolong the relaxation.

She’s sure to remember this Mother’s Day after enjoying a feast �it for a queen and a romantic night with you.

• Invite your sweetheart to a spa or beauty clinic so she can relax and be pampered. Afterwards, be sure to tell her how beautiful she is.

Whatever the gift, be considerate and attentive. Give her a day she’ll remember with pleasure. Perhaps this Mother’s Day will be the start of a renewed relationship, closer and more loving than ever before.

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 8th!

A day to make Grandma happy This Mother’s Day, don’t forget Grandma. Regardless of her age and state of health, your grandmother deserves special attention too, and there are thousands of ways you can give her some. Just remember that it’s usually the simplest treats that make her happy.

Whether or not you can organize a family get-together, take advantage of Mother’s Day to share quality time with your grandmother. Have a meal at your house or at a restaurant, or picnic together at a park.

Take a walk or an outing in the car; visit a museum or go to a concert. These are all activities that your grandmother will remember for years to come.

Is your grandmother housebound?

Bring her a small cake

or other dessert she really likes and take a moment to enjoy it with her. Make her laugh, and talk about things that are close to her heart. Ask for her advice, and make sure she knows that you love and care for her.

A photo can be another way to please your grandmother. Give her a recent photo of yourself or the whole family or a souvenir photo that will remind her of a wonderful time.

If it’s framed, offer to help her hang it on a wall. Other great gift ideas are a soft cashmere shawl to keep her warm, a personalized mug that she can use to enjoy her favourite drink or a nice cushion to support her back. Above all, don’t miss this opportunity to visit her; on Mother’s Day, your presence will be her most beautiful gift.

Wawota welcomed Nashville recording artist and Canadian country music mainstay, Julian Austin on Friday, April 30 for a cabaret-style concert at the Wawota Forum.

Wawota Welcomes

Julian Austin

for CKRM’s Community Concert Series

Sweetheart at the Soundcheck: Prior to his Wawota concert, Nashville recording artist Julian Austin granted the wish of four-year-old fan, Chesney Murray of Wawota. “She’s been waiting to meet him since 10 o’clock this morning,” said Chesney’s mother, Kristen. Austin told the little girl that meeting her was “awesome,” and arranged for her to go home with some autographed CDs.

Canadian country music singer Julian Austin was presented with a winning Wawota Flyers jersey, which he promptly put on. The Big Six champs celebrated their successful season with an awards dinner in Wawota, followed by a night at Austin’s concert. To add to the celebratory atmosphere, Regina’s CKRM 620 Radio donated two tickets to Garth Brook’s June 11 show in Saskatoon as a door prize-and the lucky winner was Monique Meyers.

Volunteers Linda and Bob Birnie were happy to join the early shift at Wawota’s pancake breakfast. On a day that was summed up by the words ‘friends, fellowship and fundraising’, the couple were two of the members of the community who helped celebrate the town’s community concert by country artist, Julian Austin. The partnership with Ducks Unlimited, 620 CKRM Radio and the Wawota Business Enhancement Group (WBEG) was a fundraiser for the town’s outdoor community kitchen.

“This is a day for the community to come together,” said Shannon Houff of the Wawota Business Enhancement Group (WBEG). “We’re ready to show what community is all about. We had a relatively short time to pull this day together and we’ve had great community support.” Pictured are three of the volunteers who made the pancake breakfast possible: (l-r) Shaun Galger, Dan Nicurity and Garry Wilson.

Julian Austin immediately donned his Wawota Flyers jersey and said of his Wawota welcome: “It’s incredible how friendly and great people are here. I’ve always said that Saskatchewan is the backbone of this country and this proves it.” Shannon Houff of Wawota’s Business Enhancement Group summed up the event, saying: “Julian Austin has been to a lot of places but we wanted to make sure he remembers Wawota... The evening was great, everybody had lots of fun”

Carlyle Dance Zone presents ‘A Moment to Shine’ Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

The dance troupe’s final recital featured 45 performances in a variety of genres by dancers aged three to 18.

Carlyle’s Dance Zone wound up the 2015/2016 season with ‘A Moment to Shine’ before a full house at the Carlyle Elementary School Gym, Sunday, May 1.

Forty-five performances by dancers aged three to 18 encompassed ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical dance and musical theatre.

Along with performances from local dancers, the audience were treated to pieces from guest dancers from Dance Zone’s Weyburn school of dance.

Dance director, Miss Tammy said: “We’re pleased with the growth of our dance family. Many of our students from the Carlyle and Arcola area travel to Weyburn weekly.

This has created a large and loving dance family, so it’s only natural that some of our dancers from Weyburn join us here today.”

“Mr, Roderick and I would like to thank everyone who supported the Dance Zone this season,” she added. “We are grateful to the Carlyle Legion for the use of the Legion Hut as well

as The Lotus Tree and the Carlyle Elementary School for also allowing us to use their facilities.”

“All of the hard

work, dedication and commitment from our students and their families have all helped pave our road to success.”

The importance of developing language early Kelly Running Observer Staff

Language, the ability to communicate, is an integral part of life. In honour of the month of May, Better Hearing and Speech Month, Carey Lamoureaux, a speech-language pathologist in Wawota at Treehouse Speech Therapy spoke to The Observer about what she can do to help people gain confidence in language as well as tips parents can use to help children develop these skills.

Lamoureaux says that when people think about what a speech-language pathologist does, they think about speech sound production, so helping a child make certain sounds and gain fluency of speech. However, she explains that there is much more to it.

“We look at making the right sounds and being able to sequence those sounds, but we also focus on receptive language, so are they understanding and able to follow basic directions. Their expressive language, so vocals and grammar, and social language which involves being able to connect with their peers and society,” Lamoureaux explained. “Then

Do you have a digital camera and a photographer’s eye?

If so, why not take the plunge for the Summer Times’ annual photo contest!

If you have a summer-themed photo from the region that you feel might just be good enough to ‘WOW!’ email it to us at observer@ sasktel.net with the subject line “Summer Times Photo Contest”.

Photos should be transmitted via email in their highest resolution.

Photos that do not meet resolution requirements will not be considered in the contest.

One winner will be chosen every week, and that photo will grace the front page of the Summer Times newspaper for that week.

In the final issue of the Summer Times, a winner will be chosen from all the weekly winners, and that lucky person will be given a grand prize!

there’s literacy which involves phonological awareness, segmenting, and blending for the young tykes; letter sounds and letters for those in Kindergarten; decoding and blending abstract sounds and then writing once they can decode.”

“There’s something called the fourth grade slump,” Lamoureaux stated. “It’s a time in school when visual supports are no longer used and if youth had simply memorized words until then without the ability to break them down then that can be a huge problem for them. If you think this might be going on then read a novel with them, do something you haven’t done before, and if they don’t do as well as you think they should have then it is something to look at or seeing if they can read nonsense words.”

“Literacy and language affects every subject they take, their future education, and their future employment.”

Additionally, a speech-language pathologist can help with swallowing if a person is suffering from dysphagia and alternative systems for those who are non-verbal.

For younger kids, Lamoureaux says, “Read books and turn off the television. Read the same book over and over again. Get the kids into a repetitive routine, so when you’re driving talk about what you see, when they understand then start adding to it. So, you might say ‘horse,’ then start adding descriptors, so ‘brown horse,’ then ‘big brown horse.’

Model for them, but if they’re only at one word, then only be one step ahead of them, so use two words.”

“Younger kids need exposure to peers and group situations as well, there’s a different set of rules in the group than when they’re at home with

just mom and dad, and that social piece is very important. It teaches kids to be proactive and not reactive.”

According to an information sheet by Speech-Language & Audiology Canada youth at one-year-old should show an interest in picture books, at two-years-old they should be holding the book the right way up and turning the pages, at three-years-old they should understand that printed words have a function (signs, menus, lists, etc…), at four-years-old children should be able to think of simply rhymes (toy and boy), and at fiveyears-old are to know all the letters of the alphabet.

The Speech-Language & Audiology Canada also say that children with language impairments are four to five times more likely to have reading difficulties in school, which can affect a youth’s school experience. If they have poor language and literacy skills then school can become frustrating.

“If cost is what prohibits parents from going to a speech-language pathologist, then I encourage them to check their healthcare insurance because oftentimes you may have to pay up front, but will be reimbursed a certain amount, which helps with the costs,” she explained.

Although Lamoureaux is based in Wawota she has been working out of the Arcola Family Health Clinic on Thursdays. In order to promote Better Hearing and Speech Month, Lamoureaux is offering free literacy screenings, which is a quick 10-15 minute look at basic skills and will either come with a suggestion of doing a formal evaluation or the confirmation that a child is on track with their language development.

Contact Lamoureaux for more information at Treehouse Speech Therapy, (306)575-7618.

relative with HD.” The Huntington Society of Canada website states.

“Males and females have the same risk of inheriting the disease and HD occurs in all races. Primarily, HD affects adults. Symptoms usually appear between the ages of 30 and 50, but the disease can first appear in children as young as five, or in adults in their 70s. HD remains incurable, and there are currently no effective treatments; but there is substantive hope.”

The Wawota walk raised $2,300 for the Huntington Society.

For the past five years a group in Wawota have walked to raise money for the Huntington Society. Again they came together to walk for Huntington Disease to raise awareness and donations towards research for the Huntington Society of Canada.

Huntington Disease (HD) is a hereditary genetic disorder, which attacks an individual’s brain. Symptoms usually appear between the ages of 30 and 50, however, can appear in children or seniors. These symptoms include emotional turmoil, cognitive loss, and physical deterioration. Ultimately HD causes an individual’s brain cells to die, which leads to incapacitation and eventually death due to health complications facilitated by the disease.

Currently there are no treatments to slow or stop the progression of the disease in humans, although in 2011, Canadian researchers reversed the physical

symptoms of the disease in a mouse and has potential for further research in hopes of finding something that would work for humans.

There are a choices of medication available to treat symptoms of HD, such as depression or involuntary movements, but this route isn’t for everybody.

“One in every 7,000 Canadians has Huntington disease, but one in every 1,000 Canadians is touched by HD, whether they have the disease themselves, look after someone who does, or have a friend or

Alida News Submitted by Edel Cowan

Sincere sympathy is extended to Donald Ball and family on the death of his wife Freda (Bertsch) Ball of Lampman. Freda passed away at the age of 72 years on April 27 2016 at the Estevan Regional Nursing Home in Estevan. Her funeral service was held May 4 at the Hall Funeral Chapel in Estevan with interment at Elm Lawn Cemetery in Lampman. Condolences are also extended to all other Ball and Bertsch family members.

The Alida community extends their sincerest sympathies to Trisha, Kelly Schulhauser and family, her dad Dennis Hansen (Manor) and all other family members on the accidental death of Helen Needham on April 26, 2016. Memorial service was held May 2 at the Legion Hall in Manor.

Murray and Adam Cowan, Estevan spent the weekend (April 29-May 1) at the Cowan farm where they visited with family, Gray and Edel, Tim, Shelly and Ainsley. They enjoyed doing quality time quading, sighting in the gun and of course helping out with some of the seeding operation.

Grant Barber and Jenny Riersgard spent the weekend (April 29-May 1) in Regina visiting with Jeff Cowan and of course doing some shopping.

Ethan and Aidyn Junk spent the weekend (April 29-May 1) with grandparents Brenda and Gary Junk while mom, April and sister, Adrianna, were in Regina. Also in Regina were Trisha and Allie Schulhauser. The girls participated in a dance competition.

Gray Cowan and Joyce Geroge received word that their cousin Percy Hannesson of Winnipeg passed away on May 1, 2016. Sincere sympathy is extended to his wife Marie and to all other members of the Hannesson, Fabro and Cowan families.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC Pursuant to The Municipalities Act, public notice is hereby given that the Village of Kenosee Lake intends to annex Parcel Y, Plan No. 102045169 SE ¼ SEC 24, TWP 10, RGE 3, W2 Mer from the Rural Municipality of Wawken No. 93

Myron and Orlys Nilsen of Minot had a quick visit with Shelly and Ainsley Cowan in Redvers on Sunday, May 1 while they came to see granddaughter Ainsley participate in the dance recital.

There were a number of people from here who attended the Dance Recital held at the Redvers School Auditorium on Sunday, May 1. Dancers from this area include Madison Hess, Hayley Bendtsen, Julie and Sadie Potapinski, Cordelia Patton, Ainsley Cowan, Kaycee Demas, Abby Land, Amy Allen. The dancers all did a magnificent performance and a great job done by the all of instructors and helpers.

This was the last time to watch any curling – the last event of the season was the final wrap-up of the Pinty’s Season of Curling which was sponsored

by Humpty’s for the Grand Slam Champion Cup. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to watch as much as I would have liked to (too much activity happening in the fields) Didn’t get to see the women’s final game, but did get to watch the men’s final game Sunday evening with Epping against Carruthers. WHAT a game that was! It ended 4-3 for Carruthers after a double extra end. WOW for some excellent curling.

It’s time for the curling scene to close down and for the curlers to take a much needed rest as well – see you next year. It’ll soon be football season – Go Riders Go. The farmers are hard at work in the fields now – most are well underway with their seeding operations. Do take care out there with all that machinery. Finally do believe that the weather has changed for the norm now – sun shining nice and brightly and the wind has at long last calmed down so that one can enjoy being outdoors and not be blown away. But BEWARE – it’s now WOODTICK season – I HATE them to PIECES. Also time to make note of the Rabies Clinics coming to your area, here in Alida it is on Saturday, May 14 at the rink.

Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 8 – Happy Mother’s Day to all Moms, Grandmas and Aunties – hope you all have a great day.

Please remember to contact me (306-4432496), text (306-485-8561) or e-mail (g.cowan@ sasktel.net) with your news, appreciate it. Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and Take care.

Visitors with Joe and Jean Brisbois last week were Luci Brisbois and her daughter Deb from Roche Percee,SK and Clinton Brisbois and his friends, Glenn Dauryduk and Kelly Chuchmuch all of Winnipeg.

Tom and Cheryl Weatherald have returned from holidaying in Anaheim and San Diego. California. While there they took in some ball games, hockey games and they attended an Allan Jackson concert.This week they are travelling to Winnipeg to attend the Who concert.

Darcy and Tania Easton, Jack and Billy enjoyed a month long visit to Port Macquarie New South Wales, Australia. They visited with several of Tania’s family members and friends.

The annual Huntington Walk was held last Tuesday and although there were only a few walkers several donations were collected . Money raised is used is used for research in a cure for this disease. The McCaw girls , Joanne Corkish, Marion Husband and Barb Dennis are instrumental in organizing this walk in memory of their mother, Marj who suffered from Huntington Disease.

Happy belated anniversary to my sister and

brother-in-law, Nola and Bud Mowbray who were married 60 years as of April 26th.(that was the same day that Grace Kelly was married in a church wedding as she had a civil ceremony a week before on April 19th) I have been a strong supporter of Pro-Life over the years. I guess I never really realized how much that encompassed until I received a message from Pro-Life stating that we were opposed to euthanasia and when I checked into it we are also opposed to capital punishment. I oppose abortions except in rare situations as the unborn is helpless and although a woman may have control over her body, abortion involves another life. As for euthanasia I agree with it to certain extent , as I remember Sue Rodriguez suffering from ALS and wanting to end her painful life but being unable to do so due to her medical condition. In that case she was not given the same rights as an able bodied person. I also agree that capital punishment is appropriate in some situations. I guess I have re- exam whether I really am a pro-lifer or not!

Kennedy/Langbank News

Under the provisions of The Alcohol and Gaming Regulations Act, 1997

Submitted by Doreen Cancade I have the feeling this past week must have been very busy for most people--- never caught up on much news???

Kenneth Smyth of Grand Prairie spent the weekend with his son Bohdea and parents George and Lorraine Smyth.

Jean Sostorics spent the weekend in Regina with the Rumsey family.

The time and talent evening was very successful.

Happy seeding and gardening. What sunshine is to flowers, Smiles are to humanity.

A large crowd gathered in the Langbank Community Center on Sat., April 30th to honour Janell MacDougall on her upcoming marriage to Chad Taylor on June 25th. Seated at the table with the bride were her mother Judy MacDougall and her

mother-in-law to be Karen Taylor, Grandma Phyllis MacDougal and Marg Gustafson and sister-in-law Delian MacDougall. Cousins Angela and Nicole and their girls made the trip from around North Battleford to be present. Guests from Kennedy, Wawota, Whitewood, Kipling, Moosomin, Gainsborough and Melita as well as the ladies from Langbank were in attendance to bring greetings to the bride. Janell received a wonderful array of gifts which she very warmly responded to. The room was abuzz with friendly chatter. It was a very wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Dianne and Doug McLeod accompanied their daughter Nancy McLeod Fraser to Regina. Nancy has been working on the writing of the new Chemistry curriculum. Dianne and Doug looked after Little Jack when Nancy attended her final meetings.
