Donations low, but need is high at local food bank The Carlyle and District Food Bank is a volunteer-driven community initiative. Each month, volunteers pack hampers for those in need. The Carlyle and District Food Bank saw an increase from June of approximately 25 hampers to 63 hampers in November. Volunteers expect a lot of Christmas hamper requests this year. In addition to need increasing, donations have declined this year as the oil industry is in difficult times and in the past have been large contributors.

In schools students learn about needs and wants, needs being something you can’t live without and a want being something you’d like to have. Food is something everyone needs to survive and the Food Banks Canada attempts to help people fulfill this need. Reported by Food Banks Canada in March 2015, 852,137 people used the food bank across the country. Use in March was 1.3 percent higher than 2014 and a total of 26 percent higher than 2008. Food Banks Canada see over 850,000 people each month and of this number one-third of those being helped by Food Banks Canada are children. In March of 2015 Saskatchewan saw 26,727 people offered a hand up, of this 45 percent were children. Although the number of people using food banks compared from March 2014 to March 2015 in Saskatchewan barely changed, Saskatchewan has gone up in food bank usage of 50.6 percent since the Global Financial Crisis in September of 2008. An increased need across Canada and it has increased specifically amongst communities that were heavily reliant on the oilfield. The Carlyle and District Food Bank was first welcomed to the area in 1989 when the ministry saw a need in southeastern Saskatchewan and has been helping people in need for the past 26 years. It was turned over to the public later and has endured as a Registered Non-Profit Organization under Food Banks Canada. Although based in Carlyle, the food bank services communities from Stoughton to Lampman, down to Carievale, over to Redvers, and as far north as Kipling, Kennedy, and Wawota. It covers a very large area, but is determined to help people struggling with economic burdens throughout the year. Carlyle was chosen as a central location for the area being served because the Carlyle United Church allows them a space free of rent to work within. “Sadly we’ve seen an increase we made 63 hampers this past month and that’s up from about 25 in June,” Mavis James, the Arcola, Kisbey, and Stoughton contact explained. “We are also down in donations, we’re at about half of our cash donations, and a lot of those came from oil companies, so we understand that they’re not able to give this year.” “It’s happened before; over the years we’ve gone up and down in both donations and hampers needed, but we’ve always managed to get by with support from the community. We’d like to thank everyone for their donations in the past and for everyone’s continued generosity, we appreciate everything.” With cash donations, James explains, the food bank purchases fresh milk, potatoes, carrots, apples, bread, margarine, eggs, and meat each month. “If anyone has extra beef or meat to donate it would also be greatly appreciated,” James said. Items that the food bank is always in need of

To drop oﬀ non-perishable donations James says that the bin located after the Co-op checkout in Carlyle is a good place to leave items or people can directly contact James or Arrol Young for contributions from Arcola, Kisbey, and Stoughton, in Manor call Jaime Brimner, the contact in Redvers is Annette LeNouail, Darlene Burnett can be called in Carlyle, and Deb Phillips is in the Wawota area.

needed. “Anyone out there looking to help, the Monday and Tuesday before our Christmas hampers go out are always very busy setting up,” James said. “I’m thinking we’ll have quite a few Christmas hampers to ﬁll this year.” Requests for Christmas hampers must be into the contacts of the food bank by Friday, Dec. 4, as they will be picked up on Wednesday, Dec. 16. Donations for Christmas hampers are asked to be in early as well for the volunteers will be purchasing items and packing hampers prior to Dec. 16. “I want to thank everybody for their generosity, the food bank appreciates everything,” James said.

Changes to liquor retail will affect two local stores Kelly Running Observer Staff

In the New Year, Saskatchewan will be implementing a new path in liquor retailing as Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority Minister Don McMorris declared at a news conference in Regina on Wednesday, Nov. 18. This change will affect two stores in the immediate area, which includes Stoughton and Kipling. Although the plan is mostly in place, changes will not take root until after the provincial election, which is scheduled for April 4. Following the election the government will make any amendments to legislation or regulations associated with the changes. The changes will then be seen in the late spring or early summer. Within the new model the government will be converting a total of 40 government owned liquor stores into private liquor stores, while also adding 12 new private liquor stores to “underserved communities.” Of the 40 government liquor stores being privatized Stoughton’s and Kipling’s included, while the remaining 38 stores affected by the change are scattered across the province. In addition to this change, the government will be creating a more competitive market by creating equal opportunity for all conducting the sale of alcohol. In the future all retailers – including SLGA stores, franchises, off-sales, and private stores which currently all have different rules and restrictions on sales– will be able to operate between 9:30 a.m. and 3 a.m., sell any type of chilled product, adjust their business model to meet customer needs, operate under the same terms as all other alcohol retailers, be given a uniform wholesale price, and be able to create flexible retail pricing strategies. “Saskatchewan consumers will enjoy more choice, more convenience, and more competitive pricing,” McMorris explained. “This new direction allows government to collect the same amount of revenue through a new wholesale markup while also correcting many inequities that have existed among the province’s various liquor retailers.” The process of change began in November of 2014 when the government initiated a consultation which resulted in an Options Paper which included five different plans based on the existing liquor retail model as well as on other province’s systems. A total of 6,600 people completed the survey as well as over 3,000 people commenting on the Options Paper, according to the Government of Saskatchewan’s backgrounder regarding The Future of Liquor Retailing in Saskatchewan. Ultimately what the government found was that consumers wanted increased product selection

and cost competitiveness, while wanting increased private liquor retail and a continued mixed model of delivery. It was also important to those who commented and conducted the survey that the government continue to maintain revenues from liquor sales even if private sales increased. “We received a lot of valuable feedback from stakeholders, customers, and the general public regarding their thoughts on the future of liquor retailing in the province,” McMorris stated. “This new direction reﬂects what we heard and I want to once again thank everyone who took part in the consultation process.” The Request for Proposal to obtain a permit for one of the 52 newly privatized ventures is still being developed, but the process will include the individual applying to have “a good character check, fulﬁlling public notice requirements, and obtaining a Ministry of Finance Vendor’s Licence.” These liquor vendors have the ability to integrate the new private liquor stores in existing buildings – a grocery store – so long as it has its

Letter to the Editor Village of Manor campground “SOLD”

Dear Editor, Over the past sevral months concerned citizens of the Village of Manor and area have been made aware of the sale of the property that formerly was the Village of Manor Campground. A local resident stopped at the campground to fill a camper with water and discovered that the water to the campground had been turned off. After a call to the town office to enquire it was made known that the campground was permanently closed and the village council had sold the property. This was very shocking and distressing news. In the March 2015 Council Meeting, the Mayor informed council that her son had stepped forward offering to purchase the Campground property. The April Council Minutes show a motion to sell the Village of Manor Campground Property for $10,000.00 to Sheldon Akins. A council member who was not present at the time seconded the motion.The concern is that the Village Campground was closed without public notice and the property in question was never advertised for public sale; as well the Municipal local government procedures were not followed for these actions. The Manor Campground area was established alongside Highway #13 by the Manor Board of Trade in approximately 1958 -59 as a picnic area and was first maintained by the community and Notice of Proposed Local Improvement to be Published pursuant later as a campground by the village of Manor to Clause 15(1)(a) of The Local Improvements Act. 1993 In 1973,

Owners of land to be specially assessed may petition against the proposed local improvement. The petition must be submitted to the clerk/administrator of the municipality not later than 4:00 p.m. on the 31st day of December, 2015.

To be successful, the petition must be signed by a majority in number of owners of lands to be specially assessed for the proposed local improvement, representing at least one-half of the amount of the special assessment pursuant to section 19 of The Local Improvements Act, 1993. Advice on preparing the petition to ensure its validity is available from the municipal administrator. 4.

own entrance from both the outside and inside, and all transactions within the liquor store are kept separate from the parent business. However, within a community with less than 2,000 people liquor retail sales may be conducted within the existing business in line with the existing franchise model. This allowance is because a community of that size may be unable to support a standalone location. The changes, which will include the closures of 40 government liquor stores to be privatized, will impact 196 employees as well as 10-15 employees in the head oﬃce. However, of the stores being privatized, liquor store employees will be given preferential consideration during the Request for Proposal process. “There’s a lot of change required to get our retail system where it needs to be and we now have a plan in place,” McMorris said. “In the end, we’ll have a system that’s fair to retailers and beneﬁcial to consumers while also protecting revenues for government priorities like infrastructure, education, and health care.”

The council proposes to meet to consider a bylaw respecting this matter on the 6th day of January, 2016, at 7:00 p.m. at the Carlyle Civic Center, 100 Main Street, Carlyle, SK.

approximately .25 of an acre was added to the Village Picnic area to enlarge it to a total of .77 acres. For all the years that the area residents can remember it was believed to be a heritage site, just as the Cairn on the site depicts. The Cairn that was built from community donations was erected in 1980 at the celebration of our being 75 years as a province. A special ecumenical service and blessings of the Cairn took place. The plaque on the Cairn reads: “This Cairn was erected in commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of the Village of Manor 1902-1977. It is dedicated to the memory of the pioneers of Manor and District.” Over the years the campground has been a gathering place of many families, hosting family reunions, birthdays and a place for visitors to park their campers. We the undersigned care for and love this community enough to speak for the pioneers, those who built Manor, those who reside now and those to follow, a place where they can be proud to say YES, we have a great Campground at Manor.

Bill Wyatt’s baseball legacy When he was recently honoured for his commitment to the sport of baseball in Saskatchewan, Bill Wyatt of Carlyle said, “It’s humbling. When they read what you’ve done in front of 300 people, it’s definitely very humbling.” “I have a lot of people to thank and I had some great teachers. And I have to thank Lori, big-time, because I’m not around a lot in the summer.” Wyatt was named Sask Baseball’s 2015 Senior Official of the Year at the Baseball Canada Awards banquet in on Nov. 7 in Saskatoon. The award not only recognized Wyatt’s decades-long playing career and his twenty years as an umpire; the accolade also celebrated the umpire mentorship program he created in Carlyle, which “has been instrumental in the development of young umpires in the southeast,” according to Riley Singleton, who nominated Wyatt for the honour. “When I visit other communities and the discussion becomes the lack of officials in various sports, I am always very proud to talk about the quantity and quality of the umpires in the southeast because of the dedication and commitment from Bill Wyatt,” says Singleton. “Bill has been involved in baseball in Saskatchewan for the better part of five decades as a player in his youth and adulthood, currently as a twilight player, as well as an umpire for just over 20 years,” adds Singleton. “Bill’s greatest contribution to baseball has been through umpiring. He has been an outstanding umpire in the Saskota Men’s League in southeast Saskatchewan for numerous years. He has also umpired every level of minor ball in our area and across the country: from the youngsters to midget AAA. If there was a game in the Carlyle area, Bill was sure to be involved.” “His desire to improve has allowed Bill to umpire in the WMBL (Western Major Baseball League), as well as at the provincial and national level,” adds Singleton. “In the past twelve years, Bill has been the leader of an umpire mentorship program based out of Carlyle,” says Singleton. “Bill mentors 15 to 20 male and female umpires from 11-years-old and up. He is at a local diamond every night of the baseball season working alongside groups of school-aged and adult umpires, helping them to develop the necessary skills and knowledge to call the game.” “You will always see Bill’s truck parked in the ‘Carlyle Minor Ball Umpire parking’ zone at the diamonds,” adds Singleton. “With the truck box cover open, and numerous Rubbermaid containers in the back. In these containers is all of the necessary equipment needed for his young umpires to use while officiating. He not only teaches and mentors these umpires, he supplies the equipment needed and brings it to the games for the kids to use.” “He has been instrumental in the development of young umpires in the southeast.” Level One umpire and grade 12 student, Mitchell Morrison, 17, of Carlyle-who has officiated at both midget and senior games- has worked with Wyatt for four years and says, “Bill does a lot. Without him, baseball probably wouldn’t happen in town.”

Bill’s passion for the game of baseball is evident in his dedication to the sport.

Umpire, mentor and volunteer Bill Wyatt of Carlyle was named Sask Baseball’s Senior Official of the Year at the Baseball Canada Awards Banquet in Saskatoon on Saturday, Nov. 7. “Bill has been involved in baseball in Saskatchewan for the better part of five decades,” says Riley Singleton, who nominated Wyatt for the honour and cited his “remarkable list of accomplishments and commitment to volunteerism. His knowledge of the game as a fan, player, umpire, and builder is astonishing and his dedication to this great sport is second to none.” “He does so much. He drives us out of town to Weyburn and to other cities to make sure we get to our clinics; he helps young people out a lot. He gives us pointers and without him, I think we’d just have house league games.” “Bill takes pride in what he does and he takes the game to a whole new level,” adds Morrison. “Doing games with him is exciting. He has so much knowledge and experience and you always learn something.” In addition to founding and facilitating the umpire mentorship program, Wyatt has played ball as a youth and as an adult and has also achieved Level Four status as an umpire, which allows him to officiate at the national level. “I was always involved in ball of some kind,” says Wyatt. “I grew up in Kisbey and I was the oldest boy in the family. Times were tough back then, but my dad always made sure we had baseball. ” “I played hockey too, but I always looked forward to the spring-and baseball.” Wyatt says both his interest in all things baseball and necessity led to the formation of mentoring program he founded for young umpires. “For about 10 or 12 years, there was a real need for umpires-especially for minor ball,” says Wyatt. “I was getting calls constantly for umping, so I thought: ‘Why don’t I just take it over and organize it?’” “Since then, we’ve mentored young umpires, but we’ve had some adults, too. We’ve had as many as 21 people registered in the program at one time, including adults, but we take young umpires from the age of 11.” Wyatt says the young officials only have to be one year older than the teams they’re officiating. “We never send them out on the field without one of us there,” he says. “They take clinics and qualify, but a big part of what we emphasize is confidence.” “Confidence is huge and helps the kids immensely on the field and off. It’s beyond valuable.” says Wyatt, recounting a situation where a young umpire was being indirectly questioned by a coach. “People around here are really good,” he says. “But there are occasions where someone will try and talk to an umpire when they shouldn’t, especially when the umpire is younger.” “That’s why-along with self confidence-they really have to know the rules and their responsibilities.”

“Another thing is positioning, so they can really see what’s going on during a game and to get the best view from behind the plate.” Wyatt’s breadth and depth of baseball experience-along with his continued commitment to growth, makes him an invaluable resource to the umpires he mentors- and the results speak for themselves. “A great success of Bill’s happened this summer when one of his 16-year-old umpires was assigned to umpire at a 14U girls’ national softball tournament in Victoria, B.C.,” says Singleton. “That was Shelby McNair,” says Wyatt. “In Shelby’s case, the young umpires were evaluated at that tournament. She was named best umpire and officiated at the gold medal game.” “Afterwards, she texted me. It made me very proud.” McNair is just one of Wyatt’s success stories, and this season, young umpires he has mentored through the program have officiated at both junior and senior games throughout the area and have also earned assignments at the provincial and national levels. However, Wyatt continues to pursue his own baseball-related challenges, continuing to grow and learn. “I’ve umpired in two nationals,” he says, when asked about some of his career highlights. “One in Nanaimo, B.C. and one in Saskatoon, and they were great experiences.” “The most challenging was the WMBL. I’m grateful for the challenge, though,” adds Wyatt. “The calibre of ball at that level and the hierar-

Bill Wyatt’s love of what he calls “a gentleman’s game,” started early. He grew up playing ball, then later became a Level 4 umpire along with sharing his skills with the game’s next generation of officials. “I’m also a baseball fan,” says Wyatt, who is pictured here with Hall of Famer and legendary baseball player, Roberto Alomar. chy with the manager, the coach, was just like the majors. The players are senior men from Canada and the U.S. who are at the level where they’re often scouted and the more people there are in management, the more challenging it is as an official.” “At the national level, you’re being evaluated,” says Wyatt. “You’re graded the whole time and it’s on a pass-fail system and if you fail, you start over.” “I was nervous about that the first time, but once you get out there, the games are all the same.” “I’d say the only difference is that the higher the level of ball, the more levels of game management you have to deal with. But really, you just get out there and do your job.” Wyatt’s love of baseball extends to travelling to watch Major League games-especially if the Toronto Blue Jays are playing-and a list that includes visiting “some of the older stadiums like Fenway in Boston and Wrigley in Chicago.” “I’m a baseball fan,” says Wyatt. “I don’t care who I watch. But I’m still going to mentor kids. That’s my passion.” Singleton says, “Bill has demonstrated integrity as an umpire, a mentor, and as a person. He is a remarkable role model in all sports,” adding “His knowledge of the sport as a fan, player, umpire and builder is astonishing and his dedication to this great sport is second to none.” “That’s a contribution that just can’t be replaced.”

to intersections, notably at the elementary school, compromises the safety of students who are crossing the street. The RCMP gave out warnings last week and the Carlyle Elementary School is going to be reminding people of the no parking zones around the school. There were a total of 70 speeding offences, 22 non-moving offences including tint, seatbelt, etc., there were 17 intersection related offences, one careless

driver, and two people were issued ﬁnes for not having valid registration within the coverage area of the RCMP. RCMP responded to six minor collisions on Wednesday, Nov. 18, as well as four rollovers. The icy roads contributed to the incidents. Staﬀ Sergeant Simon explained that all vehicles involved in rollovers were driving at speeds under 100 BACK km/hr, but occupants of the vehicle were wearing their seatbelts which kept them in

the vehicles when the vehicle rolled. “We just want to remind people that it is winter and even if you have snow tires or all-wheel drives, slow down,” Staﬀ Sergeant Simon stated. Unfounded complaints There were a few assault reports, which were all determined to be unfounded by RCMP. Also unfounded was a complaint of threats in the Carlyle area and a report of criminal harassment in the Wawota area.

Parenting Tips from Regional KidsFirst

Swearing

Children are like sponges – they soak up everything. Even the words that parents do not like to hear! Parents need to decide what words are acceptable and what words are not. Parents must keep in mind that some words that may be acceptable in the home are not acceptable in a school setting. Swearing is using words that tend to be rude or oﬀensive. We must understand that it is unrealistic to expect our children to never swear. Many children will experiment with the words as they hear

others using them. Swearing is likely to continue if children receive a reaction from the words. This could be in the form of laughter or long winded discussions on why not to swear. As parents or caregivers, we need to set a good example for our children. We cannot expect our children to not swear when we ourselves use swear words on a regular basis. Instead of using swear words, use words that are acceptable to express frustration or anger such as “Ahh Butter

Knuckles! My toast burnt!” If you catch your child swearing, try to use planned ignoring. Do not look at or talk to them about that word that came out. If swearing does not get a reaction, it may stop all on its own. If swearing continues to occur and is becoming a problem try the following suggestions. · Plan Ahead · Discuss this with your child · Talk about consequences · Praise your child for using good language.

Quote of the Week . . . A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work. - John Lubbock

Thoughts on refugees

People across the country and around the world are very concerned with the number of refugees their country is taking in. This includes a large number of people worried in Canada about the 25,000 that Prime Minister Trudeau has promised to accept. The terrorist attacks in Kelly Running Paris didn’t help things, a Syrian Observer Staff passport was found amongst the devastation, although it’s thought to be a forgery. The fake passport, however, created a great amount of fear and backlash against refugees. The terrorists identified in the Paris attacks were all European Union nationals: five French (three of which were living in Belgium) and two Belgian (one of which was born in Morocco). French officials have said that the passport was actually “planted” by the Islamic State (IS) to continue increasing the fear of nations taking in refugees. I was with a few others when we found out about the Paris attacks; their first questions, “How does a passport even survive a suicide bombing?” In Canada you are innocent until proven guilty. So, prove to me beyond a reasonable doubt that the refugees we are accepting are going to destroy us all. Yes, you’re probably all thinking I’m quite naïve, but shall we return to World War II. Everybody has heard the story of Anne Frank. What many won’t know is that Anne Frank’s family was one of many who attempted to flee Nazi Germany in the 30s and 40s. They applied for and were denied entry to the U.S.A. In an article I read recently “Anne Frank was a refugee denied entrance to the United States” by Hugh Wharton, it made me think would Anne Frank be alive today had they been issued the necessary papers by the U.S.A. Would she be an old woman living happily today? Americans were hesitant to help during the Holocaust and now the world is hesitant to help Syrian refugees. During WWII the United States was going through an economic depression and public opinion of Jewish people was low, sounds much like the situation today – our economy isn’t strong and people are thinking the worst of Syrian refugees. Of the 25,000 refugees Canada is acepting 10,000 are children. If denied entry, is that not like sentencing 10,000 children to the fate of Anne Frank? I don’t deny that the IS is a threat, but I think the majority of Syrian refugees are good people. Would you like to leave your home and be uprooted from your country? No. But their choice is either to stay and be killed by IS, or attempt to flee and possibly survive. If we really are worried about the IS then why not create allies by accepting refugees. IS isn’t just a threat to Western countries, it’s a threat to Muslims. IS believes in following the Quran and Hadith exactly, which means modern Muslims who dress in Western clothes, shave their beards, put a higher faith in laws of individual lands than in Sharia Law, or by voting in an election are apostates and as such are sentenced to death. IS has even said that Shiite practices have no basis in the Quran, so 200 million Muslims are targets. This is why the Syrians, even if Muslim, are refugees, because they have been sentenced to death if they stay. They want peace. Obviously leave no stone unturned when conducting security checks; but, at the end of the day, they are people fleeing their homes in search of a better life. Canada was once that place for many people… shouldn’t it continue to be a beacon of hope for others?

Observer

When I was in high school our school newspaper was called “The Teen Junction”. It contained updates on sports teams, reports from each of the classrooms and organizations, and announcements of upcoming events. It also contained a column called “Blabbermouth” which was a list of who was dating whom, and who was seen Shelley Luedtke with whom. Before a friend and I took on the job as editors, we were given the opportunity to attend a multi-day workshop with students from across the province. The topics presented were related to school newspapers but the overall theme of the conference was clear: leadership. The presenters had spent time evaluating each school’s paper so they could not only award prizes but deal with issues papers shared in common, regardless of the size of the school. One speaker went at all of us pretty hard after seeing the number of gossip columns being printed in school newspapers. He related incidents that had happened at different schools when hurtful gossip had been circulated and he challenged us to do better, be better and set higher standards. My friend and I decided our first task as editors would be to bring an end to Blabbermouth. It did not go well. Some students were mad. We were called unflattering names and treated rather unkindly at times. But we felt we had made the right decision and were supported by our teacher adviser. We were unpopular, but when we wavered our adviser reminded us, “Isn’t this exactly the kind of thing editors are asked to do?” Leadership involves making difficult calls and focussing on doing what is necessary instead of doing what is popular. We may not always agree with a course of action but we need those in charge to be clear in their decisions and resolute in their purpose. I heard an American Senator express frustration over his colleagues’ wishy washy stance on an important issue. The interviewer tried to defend the other Senators saying they were likely concerned about the reaction they might receive. The Senator shook his head and remarked that the last time he checked, his job as a Senator was, in fact, to make those decisions.

done. That holds for school administrators, organization executives, town councils, provincial representatives, federal politicians and world leaders. The problem, of course, is how to express a decision without inciting the kind of attack that shuts down conversation completely and leaves room only for vile comments and out of context reactions. People aren’t allowed to disagree or express an opposing opinion. Just dip a toe into those waters and get ready…get ready to be called intolerant, too tolerant, reckless, naive, xenophobic, insensitive, a bleeding heart, racist, a fear monger, a sympathizer, a hater, too far to the right, too far to the left, unpatriotic, or blindly patriotic. Express a faith-based opinion and you’re a religious fanatic. Ask a pointed question and you’re accused of bigotry or discrimination. Too many ignore the potential quality of the content and just see fit to attack the speaker. Of course it’s quicker that way. Attach a label to someone and it neutralizes their opinion, even though aspects of what they say may be very valid and quite appropriate for the situation. So leaders, not surprisingly, might find it expedient to cater to what’s popular, to deflect the question or to spin the message. Some think it’s necessary to stay popular to remain powerful. That’s why celebrity gossip is so carefully monitored by the individuals concerned. It needs to be managed and finessed by PR firms. It’s big business that results in big money which brings substantial power. Just like being a mainstay in a gossip column in a high school paper denoted power to some. They revelled in being the ones people wanted to be connected to and seen with. But that’s about status. It didn’t make them leaders of the school. We need people willing to lead--and we need to support their efforts. When we disagree we can express our dissent, but let’s do so with civility and reason, and ask the same of them. If a leader has done something noteworthy let them know you appreciate it. If our school, civic or political leaders only hear the negative, the critical, and the antagonistic, they may be functioning out of a skewed sense of what is needed. General Douglas MacArthur said, “A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.” The loudest voices often aren’t the majority voices, and the right choices often aren’t the popular choices. The best leaders know the difference. That’s my outlook. Lynne Bell Reporter/Photographer Office: 306-453-2525 Fax: 306-453-2938 observer@sasktel.net

Seeing things differently . . .

MABEI or MABEI not? Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Last week, I went back to school and received a crash course in something called the MABEI assessment scale. The MABEI scale is part of an outcome-based reporting system, which simply put, replaces percentage marks on student report cards with a system that rates a student’s progress in each subject by indicating whether they have mastered a subject, or attained most knowledge of a subject, or attained some knowledge of a subject, or are experiencing difficulty, or finally, whether there is insufficient evidence whether or not the student has any knowledge of the subject. As a mom, my report-card signing days are over, and this was underscored in my mind when I asked an area educator what parents thought of the MABEI system. Naturally, this individual couldn’t generalize, but the comment they gave me was: “It depends on the age of the parents”-which perhaps explains my misgivings. Representatives from the area school district outlined the advantages of the MABEI system in great detail, and stated that it enabled teachers to give a detailed account of a student’s progress (or lack therof ) as to whether they were meeting requirements within a subject area. This, along with heightened student involvement in parent-teacher meetings is said to lessen or eliminate surprises (unpleasant or not) for unsuspecting parents. However, the MABEI method has-to my untutored eye, anyway-some very real disadvantages. Firstly, the insufficient evidence category seems pretty vague and (I assume) might require a lot of explanatory notes from teachers already up to their elbows in report cards. This category can mean that the subject matter hasn’t yet been fully covered in class or that the student hasn’t turned in the work. (Are they legitmately absent? Struggling? Skipping class?). This,will require (and I assume again), clarification from the teacher, anyway. And will the MABEI system require even more paperwork for already-busy educators whose most valuable contribution is teaching our kids? Because the provincial Ministry of Education requires it, students in grades 10 to 12 receive a report card that contains both percentage grades as well as additional reporting which uses the MABEI method of assessment. This, too, seems to me to be a lot of extra work for teachers who are required to ready students for life after high school and prepare many of them for a variety of post-secondary options. Which brings me to my final point-admission to any type of post-secondary school almost always requires certain grade requirements to be met, and these are reported in percentages. Does the MABEI scale prepare kids for this eventual possibility? And is the system a boon to teachers and parents who want to zero in on a student’s areas in need of improvement? Or is it a cumbersome system that adds to the administrative side of an educator’s workload? MABEI or MABEI not...

MABEI it’s not the best Kelly Running Observer Staff

In school I strove to have the best marks, I wanted to see those “E’s” in elementary school where the letter stood for “Efficient” and I wanted my percentage marks to be in the 90s, although I slipped into the high 80s on occasion. These marks I was able to carry throughout high school, except for a low 80s mark in one of my English classes, I wonder what Mr. McLennan thinks of me having become a writer. Heading with very competitive marks into University I had a small life crisis that first year. I started getting C’s and I felt like I didn’t belong in university. In my second semester I even dropped two courses and changed my major, and although it was the best thing for me, I felt a little bit like I had failed but only because I expected a lot out of myself. Today schools are testing out the MABEI scale and the more I learn about it the more I shake my head, wondering if we’re setting kids up for failure. I understand not wanting to compare kids in the system, but I’m not sure if this system does it. Every time I got my report card, we’d start comparing marks, and I’m sure kids now brag about their M’s. Going from a system like this to percentages in grade 10 will be a huge change for them. I once felt high school hadn’t prepared me for university but it turns out I should have done better in high school. I found out I had more in me thanks to a professor who told me I should reconsider taking another course from him… in my head I thought “How dare you tell me that! I’ll show you!” He ended up becoming one of my favourite professors there, but he saw my mark from a class the semester before, and he decided I wasn’t good enough. He wasn’t judging me based on other students, he was judging me on my own work. So, do percentages really compare students at large? I raised my grade by an entire letter that semester and I impressed a professor who was considered by the advising office to be the toughest marker on campus. Would kids that have gone through the MABEI system stick out a class they were told to drop or would they give up? The MABEI system clearly shows outcomes the

students have reached, but it can be with percentages as well. Teachers always give you feedback. In math it’s clear when you get a concept or not, you get marked on your work and the right answer. If you do everything right, you understand the material but there was a one really hard question you walk out with a 90-something. In English the teacher tells you if you need to work on your grammar or spelling, or if you misinterpreted a quote that you used. They don’t just give you a percentage and ignore you; they give you a percentage and give you feedback, or at least my teachers and professors both did. For kids having gone through the MABEI system, they’re pushed through. They can’t fail. Even if teachers have Insufficient Evidence, which essentially means the kid didn’t hand anything in or participate. Creating competition with oneself and with others is good. The real world compares people to each other, how else do multiple people apply for one job and the employer chooses? They pick who they think is best for the job, the one that will work hard, and will get along well in the position. They compare people who are competing for a position. Doesn’t it make sense to prepare youth and instill in them a work ethic? I planned on being a teacher in university and in Lethbridge you must take a course which includes a practicum before being accepted into the program. I gave a classroom of grade eight kids homework and one came up to me after to tell me he wasn’t doing it. He didn’t have to because he would pass anyways; the sad part is the student was smart, and consequences would have pushed him to actually apply himself and better himself. Therefore, are we not setting kids up for failure by using the MABEI system? They’re pushed through whether they reach the outcomes or not until they come to a time when they can fail, they will have a difficult time adjusting from can’t fail to failing because they didn’t fully understand the basics early in life.

Montmartre took second in Pool B. The cross-over semi-final matches between the top four teams then took place with Arcola being matched up against Montmartre and Manor to take on Grenfell. Arcola successfully earned a win over Montmartre with scores of 25-10 and 26-24, which took Arcola to the final and with that a spot at the Provincial competition. Manor then took on Grenfell in their semifinal match, which saw them also find success with scores of 25-17 and 25-11. The final game between Manor and Arcola involved an exciting first set with Arcola earning the win at 25-22. Manor came out strong in the second set and earned a 25-13 win over Arcola, forcing a third set in the match. The third set was a battle in the beginning, but again Manor was able to edge Arcola out with a final score of 25-15. Manor became the South Region champions with the win, while both teams will be competing at Provincials.

Sadly, Manning’s great career on last legs

By Bruce Penton There’s a sense of sadness surrounding the Denver Broncos this year and it’s certainly not because of the team’s record (7-2 through the ﬁrst nine games of the National Football League season). It’s because it’s obvious the end is near for legendary quarterback Peyton Manning who, unfortunately, has aged quickly right before our eyes. For 15 years, he was Peyton (The Man!) Manning. Now he’s Old Man Manning. This is Willie Mays stumbling around in centrefold about two years after the Say Hey kid should have retired. This is Gordie Howe playing at age 51 with his sons,

getting lots of headlines and no-contact sympathetic shifts. This is Muhammad Ali at the end of his career, looking not at all like The Greatest and losing to slugs like Trevor Berbick. Manning started showed signs of aging two years ago when he and the Broncos got blitzed in the Super Bowl by Seattle, 43-8. Stastistically, he had a great year in 2014, with 39 TD passes (third highest of his career) and 15 interceptions, near his career average. But his mobility was reduced, as was his arm strength, and it was the latter deﬁciency that became such a stark reality in 2015. Through nine games this year, he had nine TDs, far below his average. But he had 17 picks, which led the NFL, and led coach Gary Kubiak to yank the certain Hall of Famer midway through a troubling 29-13 loss to Kansas City — a game in which Manning, who

has thrown more TD passes than anyone, broke the NFL record for career passing yards, but threw a career-high four ﬁrsthalf interceptions. His replacement, Brock Osweiler, salvaged a decent result with a couple of second-half TD passes. After the game, it was reported Manning had a torn ligament in his foot but even after that heals, his arm strength has to be of grave concern to Kubiak. Most of his throws have been wobbly or inaccurate, very unManning-like. Go easy on Peyton, says Jets receiver Brandon Marshall, a former Bronco and Bear. “It’s disrespectful the way we’re talking about it. He’s older, he’s had some injuries and his time is near. … To me it seems very disrespectful when you look at what this guy has done for this league …” After being pulled from the Chiefs game, Manning spent the

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

Be bold, speak up!

By 2020, the Ministry of Health expects Sun Country Health Region and all other health regions in the province to be injury-free. The Region has partnered with a provincial program called Mission Zero for staff members. The goal also reects the expectation there will be zero injuries to those receiving services in our health system. It’s a tough deadline in both instances. This year, from Jan 1 to November 10, patients/ residents and clients in our care suffered almost 3,000 adverse incidents. Our staff members experienced numerous injuries, including over 76 last winter alone from slips, trips and falls. To get these numbers to zero is a huge challenge. One of the tools we are using to reach the goal is a program called “Stop the Line.” Basically, it is designed to educate both our staff members and the public to be willing to stop any process or situation that appears like it might cause an injury. For staff members, that means they may need to stop a caregiver if that person is not following proper procedure in anything from washing their hands correctly to using a lift for a long term care resident. That caregiver might be a nurse or a doctor, or a therapist or any of the other professionals that provide care, even if the caregiver supervises the person raising the issue. That’s not an easy switch in a traditionally hierarchical industry. For the public, for patients, residents and clients, “Stop the Line” means being comfortable asking questions of their caregivers: Did you wash your hands before providing care to me? Is that the same pill I received yesterday? What are the results of my tests? Those are just some of the questions that might be asked, and answered, before care is allowed to proceed. A group of our staff members trained in “Stop the Line” philosophy, along with staff members from Galloway Health Centre in Oxbow and two patient advisers, met in early November to try to further this process. They looked at the ways they can help to reassure the public it is okay to ask questions about their care, and the caregiver’s approach. They looked at the tools that might be used to guide staff members to feel more comfortable about stopping the line if it appears a process, or failure to follow correct procedure, could cause harm. We don’t want patients or family members to feel something is not quite right but are afraid to speak up. Our goal is to educate all staff members and inform as many members of the public as possible. We are serious about reducing injuries. You can help us out by talking with our staff members and learning more about the process. More information is available at http:// www.suncountry.sk.ca/service/263/88/stop-the-line.html You can also assist us by agreeing to become a Patient Advisor for one of our meetings, or joining the Patient Family Advisory Council to help on a more regular basis.

Moose Mountain Wado Kai Karate’s th 30 Anniversary Photos by Lynne Bell

The learning curve was steep and the standard of competition was high at Moose Mountain Wado Kai Karate’s 30th anniversary celebrations Friday, Nov. 20 and Saturday, Nov. 21 in Carlyle. In addition to attendees from Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta and Ontario, the club hosted members of Canada’s national team. A word synonymous with martial arts is “respect”, and the practice of “bowing in” is a visible demonstration of respect. At Moose Mountain Wado Kai Karate’s pre-tournament opening ceremonies on Saturday, Nov. 21, Sensei Jayson Humphries called for a moment of silence “For Sensei Jeff Fenrick who passed away tragically.”

Moose Mountain Wado Kai Karate marked 30 years on Nov. 20 and 21. During the two-day event, the club hosted members of Canada’s national karate team, held a tournament and clinics with participants from across Canada, and celebrated with a Friday night dance. “The hospitality has been great,” says Sensei Heather Fidyk of Calgary, who is now a national team coach and senate member of the Shintani Wado Kai Karate Federation. “I first came to this tournament during the club’s second year, and I’ve been back for lots of tournaments since then. It’s great to be here for the club’s 30th anniversary.”

Participants of all ages received instruction from national team members during Moose Mountain Wado Kai Karate’s 30th anniversary weekend at Gordon F. Kells High School in Carlyle. The event hosted attendees from as far away as Ontario. Many students were billeted and two Alberta clubs were hosted by Manor School. Sensei Jayson Humphries says, “The club is successful due to its members. Without good membership, it’s not a good club. Rathe Molkelki was the person who started this club. Since then, we’ve had a lot of good people who have continued it.”

(L-r) Senseis and black belts Kevin Dyck, Jayson Humphries and Cara McNair are all members of Moose Mountain Wado Kai Karate. “There is more to karate than kicking and punching,” says McNair. “It’s about the life lessons and values that are taught like respect, responsibility, and discipline.” For more informatuion on the club, visit: www. moosemountainkarate.com.

Participants from throughout Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario enjoyed a pre-tournament dance Friday, November 21 at the GFK high school gym in Carlyle. Picture (l-r) are Jeanne Alvarez, John Michael Opena, DJ John Alvarez and Mark Geyree DelaCruz, who provided the evening’s entertainment.

Mary Kay, Author with books, Cotton candy, Amethyst jewellery/dish cloths. With this great variety of items to choose from I’m sure much Christmas shopping was accomplished. There was a great crowd throughout the day who seemed to enjoy touring among the vendors, both looking and buying. Also there was a super turnout for the delicious pulled pork dinner/luncheon where ladies served over 80 - a complete sellout . The 50/50 draw was also successful with Bonnie Farr being the winner and receiving $150 – Congratulations Bonnie. All in all it was a very successful fundraiser for the Alida Rec Board with proceeds of over $1000 going to the Alida Rink Fund. The next fundraiser will be held on December 5 with a beef supper followed by entertainer Damien James (ventriloquist, magician and comedian). Limited amount of tickets are now available – hope to see you there. We had a good taste of winter this past week, with a cold wind but thankfully not much snow. The warmer weather began to return Sunday and seems to be continuing for a few days. It will surely shorten the winter. Please remember folks to give me a call (306-443-2496) or text (306-485-8561) or e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel.net) with your news, I do appreciate your help.

Are you celebrating an anniversary or birth, or you’d like to announce your engagement? Is your youngest child graduating, or perhaps a colleague is retiring? Has a loved one passed away, or would you like to remember one in some special way?

George Lyon Roy 1925 - 2015 George died peacefully at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Estevan, SK in his 91st year surrounded by his loving family. He was predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Lottie Mae; brothers, John, Wilfred and Phillip and daughter Mary Michelle. George is survived by his beloved wife and best friend of 66 years, Patricia (nee Schnell); loving father of Rebecca (Douglas), Rodney (Sharon), Lindsey (Bonny), Sheldon (Anna), Dennis (Lorna) and Melissa (Larry); adoring grandfather and great grandfather of Sarah, Nicholas, Taryn (Andrew), Ashley (Chelsea), Genna-Rae, Preston, Kyrah, Schuyler, Jordan, Michelle (Jason), Lisa (Ryan), Trysten, Kayden, Taylor, Noah, Cassidy, Kalib, Hayley, Shania, Joshua and Xander. George is also survived by his sisters, Evelyn Petroski and Joanne Henderson, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He will also be lovingly remembered by the Schnell family. George was born and raised on the farm which his father and mother homesteaded. He hoped to join his brothers fighting in the second World War but his farming skills were needed at home to support the war effort. At the end of the war, he was accepted into the School of Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan. During his time there, he participated in all athletics. His contribution to the sports at the university was recognized with his appointment to the position of Student Athletic Director after only one year, an unheard of honour. At the end of his second year, he graduated and was given a second athletic award reflecting his sporting skills. On his brother Wilfred’s return from the war, they formed a partnership to farm their family’s land. Their farms and their families entwined for almost 50 years. George lived his life with generosity, honesty and integrity in service of the community he loved. In his church community, he led the choir for over 50 years. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and served as Grand Knight for a number of years. In the Lampman community, he served on a variety of boards including: the school board, the curling and hockey committees, the Lampman golf course and the low rental housing board, to name a few. George loved all sports, but baseball was his true passion. He quickly rose to be a superb pitcher, catching the eye of a baseball scout from whom he was offered a tryout in the USA. His farming commitments prevented him from accepting this offer. Listening to the distant signal of the AM radio baseball broadcasts filled his many days and nights on the farm fields. George’s love of sports was passed on to his children and grandchildren. He loved watching them grow and play. George’s TV set had one channel: sports. Those interested in other TV fare, found other TVs. In his life, George showed his love of God, a love of his beautiful wife Patricia and the children and grandchildren that flowed from their union. In his dying, George showed his family the gift of a good death. He was generous and kind to everyone who visited him during his final days, giving his love and comfort while receiving theirs. The family would like to thank Doctor Tsoi and the staff at Saint Joseph’s Hospital for their kindness and superb care.
