Wawota Lions host st 21 annual golf tourney Kelly Running Observer Staff

Golfing for a good cause saw local farmers and ranchers take part in the 21st Annual Wawota Lions Golf Tournament hosted on Friday, July 10.

A beautiful day to be outside it was sunny and calm. Participating in the day were 108 golfers who attended to enjoy the event at White Bear Lake Golf Course.

“It went really good,” Joel Carpenter, president of the Wawota and District Lions, explained. “We had a good turnout especially since it was a really nice day for cutting hay and spraying.”

Breakfast was on between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. with the shotgun start following at 10 a.m.

Golfers enjoyed a day of camaraderie with their fellow farmers/ranchers and were able to network.

Numerous businesses were part of the day offering draws and prizes at each hole. Though a hole-in-one wasn’t achieved by any of the participants there were five prizes valued between $12,000 and $35,500 available on holes 2, 4, 8, 11, and 16.

This year the Wawota and District Lions are focusing on two main projects.

“We’re currently working on a pathway project in the town and we’ve committed money to the rink for the next few years, with possibly not having the derby we need to do what we can for the rink now,” Carpenter said.

The pathway will join Lions Park on 1st Street and Centennial Park on Hall Street and is a project being worked on in partnership with the Business Enhancement Group.

Overall Carpenter was happy with the day. A total of how much was raised wasn’t determined by The Observer’s deadline, but it should be in line with year’s past.

“Thank you to all of the farmers for coming out, we’re glad you were able to make it, and we hope to see them again,” Carpenter exclaimed.

The business world stays active, even at vacation time. You’re extremely astute in spotting some golden opportunities to sign lucrative contracts or to set up some partnerships.

TAURUS You’re tempted to stay in touch with work and professional activities during your vacation, either by working online or by shortening your time off.

GEMINI Passion lights up your eyes. You want to do some very eccentric things to attract attention if you’re single, or to change up the routine if you’re in a relationship.

CANCER You may be planning a relaxing vacation, but you’ll soon feel the need to be more active. Also, you don’t want to miss any opportunity to express your opinion.

LEO You manage to combine relaxation and activity. If you’re self-employed, you can’t stop yourself from checking your messages, even though you promised yourself a break.

These two youngsters who were visiting their grandma enjoyed a Tuesday fun day at Rusty Relics Museum. The theme on July 7 was farm day, which came with the opportunity to ride in a carriage, play with kittens, and make and eat homemade ice cream.

VIRGO You’re happy to go shopping, whether you’re on vacation or not. You have lots of fun haggling over prices with store managers, and you definitely get some big savings.

LIBRA Take time to relax before jumping feet first into the action. You have to take a step back for one reason or another. Let yourself be guided by events; they’ll lead you in the right direction.

SCORPIO You’re very serious at the moment.

Even on vacation, you tend to think about work or about major projects rather than relaxing and enjoying life.

The Rusty Relics Museum has begun its summer programming. Its first afternoon of fun was held on Tuesday, July 7, and will continue on Tuesdays throughout the summer until Aug. 11.

Tuesday programming is free and is held from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Everyone is welcome though children under six are asked to have an adult with them.

Last week the theme was Farm Day. Dale and Lynn Brady brought a team of horses and carriage to give the kids rides around Carlyle. There were also numerous activities inside the museum including playing with kittens as well as making and eating homemade ice cream.

Kids also had fun this past Tuesday (July 14) with Train Day. Rusty Relics is based in the old train station and features a caboose that can be toured. With train games, crafts, and info, it was well enjoyed.

Upcoming Tuesday activities this summer include Science Day on July 21, Dinosaur Day on July 28, World Tour Day on Aug. 4, and Selfie Day on Aug. 11.

Science Day will focus on learning about the wonderful world we live in.

Dinosaur Day will include a dinosaur hunt and activities in the museum.

World Tour Day will focus on exploring the museum and finding artifacts from other countries displayed.

Finally Selfie Day will look at cameras and the history of photography, while posting a selfie on Rusty Relics Facebook page with your favourite exhibit will enter you to win a prize.

For more information contact the Rusty Relic Museum at 306-4532266 or find them on Facebook by searching “Friends of the Rusty Relics Museum.”

SAGITTARIUS Vacations fly by too quickly! Fortunately, you manage to make the most of them with friends. Get organized if you want to have time to do all the activities you’d planned.

Youth were entertained by a variety of activities at Rusty Relics for Farm Day, part of their summer programming, on Tuesday, July 7. Tuesday programs will run through the summer until Aug. 11.

CAPRICORN You’re already thinking about planning next year’s vacation. You’re also considering some major projects, both personal and professional. Time is a scarce commodity.

Weather for the week . . .

AQUARIUS You should really enjoy your vacation. Even if that’s not the case, you still enjoy treating yourself. A wonderful zest for life takes hold of you and pleasure reigns.

Paintings The Town of Carlyle has obtained four watercolour paintings by Saskatchewan artist Jack Heshka.

The paintings depict three elevators within Carlyle and a view of the town’s railway station.

Heshka was born near Yorkton and has “a deep appreciation for the everchanging prairie landscape,” according to his official biography. As a history teacher for 45 years, Heshka combines both history and art in his works, which depict historic places and rapidly disappearing prairie grain elevators. His paintings have been purchased by a number of corporations, including SGI, and his work is also included in private collections in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Dominican Republic.

Although the paintings are not yet framed, they will have a new home in the Carlyle Civic Centre and the town looks forward to welcoming both residents and visitors to view them.

Carlyle Red Cross volunteers assist with northern Sask. fire evacuation Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Red Cross Emergency and Disaster Services volunteers Brenda Faber and Darlene Burnett of Carlyle were among the early responders called to assist the initial wave of over 300 evacuees from three northern communities, all of whom were fleeing the devastating forest fires that have since engulfed much of northern Saskatchewan. The Carlyle residents were deployed to Prince Albert on Thursday, June 25 and returned home late in the evening on Sunday, June 28.

“Standing outside, the sky was orange all day,” says Faber. “By the time we left to come back to Carlyle, P.A. was pretty much at full capacity for evacuees.”

“There were big pieces of ash falling down,” adds Burnett. “It must be so scary for them.”

Faber has been a Red Cross volunteer for over a decade, while Burnett joined just over a year ago.

Both women were deployed to help during last summer’s floods in the Carnduff area. Faber has also ventured to northern Saskatchewan before, acting as a Red Cross volunteer when the community of Cumberland House was flooded in 2013.

“On July 1 last year in Carnduff, it was really well-organized,” says Faber. “That’s because we were going to do a mock (drill) and the real thing happened.”

This time, they were among the first Red Cross personnel to arrive on scene, where they were put to work in Prince Albert at the city’s SIAST campus registering and placing over 300 evacuees from the First Nations communities of Sucker River, Montreal Lake and Weyakwin.

“Buses pulled up and they came,” said Burnett.

“It all happens so quickly. It was more of a new experience for me than it was for Brenda, but you catch on pretty quickly and you soon become focused on the people you’re trying to help. It was my first time doing an evacuation.”

Faber says they aim to make the registration and needs assessment processes as easy as possible for people who are already experiencing significant stress.

“We register them so they can be reached for any reason, including relatives or friends outside the area wanting to know where they are and if they’re okay,” she says. “We do as full a registration as possible, but we don’t insist on ID. We just take down their names, the names of their children, their contact information and

where they are and what they’re doing.”

“Not everyone ends up staying at a Red Cross shelter,” adds Faber. “Some people might have a relative in town that they can stay with. We just gather the information, so we know where they are and can get in touch with them, if needed.”

“We try to keep families together and we really try to look after the elderly. If at all possible, we might put an elderly person in a motel or hotel.

When we set up the shelters, we set up cots with blankets and pillows; but that’s pretty hard on an older person.”

The Red Cross also supplies evacuees with personal hygiene kits, food vouchers and baby supplies.

“By the second day, the situation at SIAST was organized so that nutritious meals could be cooked for (the evacuees),” says Faber. “But the first night, we ordered in 40 pizzas-twice! And there were pallets and pallets of bottled water, to prevent people from getting dehydrated.”

Volunteers also focus on the emotional needs of evacuees.

“It’s very busy,” says Burnett. “But you’re there trying to help people to feel better during a really stressful time (for them). You find yourself chatting with them-especially with kids-and you hope you are helping them feel just a little bit better.”

“Your attention is on them,” adds Faber. “And one thing I’d really like to express is that there’s a fine line between sympathy and empathy. I’ve found that people don’t want your sympathy, but they need to know you’re trying to understand how they feel.”

Depending on the length and circumstances of an evacuation, people caught up in a traumatic situation like this one experience a myriad of emotions, according to Faber.

“Every situation is different,” she says. “Often people expect to be evacuated, but by the third or fourth day, they’re ready to go home. They’re tired of sleeping in a cot in a shelter with hundreds of other people and they just want to go home.”

“Sometimes outside agencies get involved, like social services and other organizations.

But communities are usually really good with trying to help the people who are staying there as evacuees,” adds Faber.

“On Sunday, they got wristbands so they could use pools and city transit free of charge,” says Burnett. “It’s especially good for the kids when they otherwise can’t get outside. One of the local band members taxied people around, too.”

“When I was in Cumberland House before, the casino put on a big July 1 fun day with a big barbeque and a lot of other things for the people who had been evacuated,” says Faber. “Everybody was pretty much entertained.”

and other voluntary and government agencies work to help allieviate the stress for the people they are assisting, both women say that to be a useful volunteer, you also have to look after yourself.

“The Red Cross puts us all through a debriefing and there’s a maximum time any volunteer can work without a day off,” says Faber. “The circumstances of a disaster can be devastating and they need to know if this is going to bother you or whether it will roll off your back.”

“With this one, there’s no recovery like there was in the floods. We won’t be going in and helping to get their houses back in shape. These places are so remote that we won’t be going to their communities after it’s all over and right now (at press time), weather is still a big factor. Depending on the winds and when the rains come, no one knows when it will end.”

“Every situation is different,” says Faber. “You might get choked up at the time, but you can always walk away and get ahold of yourself, or you won’t be helping anybody.”

“It’s hard to leave some (people),” she continues. “Because they seem to get pretty attached to you.”

“They form an attachment to you because you were kind to them and they are grateful,” says Burnett. “You helped them during a really stressful time in their lives and that’s so rewarding.”

Both women say that volunteering for the Red Cross is both a rewarding experience and a humbling one.

“I got to meet Brenda and a lot of other awesome people,” says Burnett. “After I retired, I really wanted to do something that would kind of pay it forward.”

“You really become a Red Cross family,” says Faber. “You experience things that only another Red Cross volunteer would understand. I started volunteering with the Red Cross because I wanted to do something for me. I love people and I love helping them. I like getting in there and saying ‘Let’s do it!’”

Faber also cites the Red Cross mission statement, part of which states that the organization aims to: “provide help immediately to whoever needs it, wherever they are, whatever their race, political beliefs, religion, racial status or culture.”

“The Red Cross is for everyone,” says Faber. “For the people it helps and for its volunteers. I really encourage people to look into volunteering, if they’re at all interested.”

“It’s one of the best things you can do,” she adds. “I’d go back anytime.”

“I would too,” says Burnett.

“I think we’ll both be back.”

Quote of the Week . . .

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” ― Mae West

The power of a symbol

The power of an image is an astounding thing that people create and perpetuate.

In example, the swastika, when most people think of this symbol their minds automatically jump to one of the most hated men in the world, Adolf Hitler. We think of Nazis, death camps, gas chambers, and Kelly Running genocide. That is, in the modern Observer Staff western world.

The swastika actually has a history dating back 12,000 years. It spanned cultures and continents before Hitler and the Nazis ever used it.

It is an important symbol for Hindus and Buddhists, while it was used in Ancient Greece, as well as by Druids and Celts. Remnants of it can be found with Nordic tribes and early Christians. The symbol was also used by Mayans and Navajos in the Americas. It was a symbol that spanned the world and survived the centuries.

The word, swastika, itself is Sanskrit and means “Good Existence,” “Good Luck,” or “Well Being.”

A Sanskrit scholar from 1979 said that the word is deeper, meaning “Permanent Victory” and comes with positive and negative connotations depending on how it is drawn. A right-hand swastika symbolizes the god Vishnu and the sun, while a left-hand swastika points to the destructive goddess Kali and magic. Buddhists believe the symbol to mean good fortune and prosperity. It is in fact related to the Buddha. So the same symbol that we associate with Nazism is seen as something completely different to others around the world.

I find it quite interesting how people give symbols meaning and power because although the swastika was once a positive symbol, and still is to some like Buddhists and Hindus, it has been perverted through use by the Nazis.

Currently a dialogue has opened about the Confederate Flag. Since this flag was used by the south in the American Civil War it has come to represent slavery, while others see it as a symbol of the south of being “Redneck” and associate it with the Dukes of Hazzard.

Though dialogue was evident regarding the flag in the past, it has been brought into the forefront of thought after nine churchgoers were killed and one was injured on June 17 in Charleston, South Carolina.

The individual charged in the matter had photos of himself with icons associated with white supremacy and it was a photo of him with a Confederate flag that sparked a debate surrounding the modern display of the flag, which resulted in the removal of the flag at the South Carolina State House grounds in Columbia.

There had been a national survey conducted in 2015 which resulted in 57 percent of Americans seeing the flag as representing Southern pride, while a poll based in the southern states only saw a split.

75 percent of white Americans in the South saw the flag as symbolizing Southern pride, while 75 percent of African Americans said the flag represented racism.

So, a symbol can be used in multiple ways and seen in different lights. In the modern world we are extremely concerned with offending people who were wronged in history which is why the flag is being removed, because it does have a legacy associated with racism; however, I can see how different meanings are attributed by different people to the same symbol, it’s historically proven with the swastika.

Observer

Sizing it up A manager for a cinema in Chicago was charged with the task of coming up with ways to increase popcorn and soda sales. The year was 1967 and that manager’s name was David Wallerstein. He determined that theatre goers were unlikely to buy multiple cartons of popcorn but perhaps they would buy more if it was offered in larger buckets.

He introduced the option of a much bigger size for which their profit margin was increased substantially. It was an immediate success.

Wallerstein took his formula for success to a fast food chain, where he convinced the owner that customers would buy larger sizes rather than returning to the counter to buy a second helping.

Profits soared. The same outcome occurred when a convenience store attempted to save is struggling fountain drink business. A huge cup was introduced and Big Gulp sales took off. The trend has simply continued to the point that a restaurant meal today is 4 times bigger than it was in the 1950s.

We are enticed by the concept of more…bigger…extra…larger. Studies say we equate it with value; the idea we are getting more bang for our buck. Other researchers surmise it feeds (no pun intended) our egos. We believe we deserve the biggest and best so that’s what we choose.

We buy more stuff, fill our houses with more things and then spend additional money coming up with ways to store and organize what we bought.

The demand for spacious walk-in closets and large storage areas are often near the top of the list for house hunters. Sadly, much of what is purchased ends up on credit cards because in our ‘want what we want when we want it’ culture, it matters little if we can afford it right now; it gets purchased anyway.

Household debt in Canada is sitting at 163 percent of disposable income. Considering that 1/4 of Canadians have rid themselves of personal debt, it means the other 3/4 are in way over their heads.

For too many it is hard to ignore the lure of bigger, fancier and more expensive. We’re driven by ego, greed and our sense of entitlement and we begin to believe that we deserve it and sure shouldn’t have to wait for it. But there is a high price to be paid. Living on borrowed money is putting indi-

viduals, families, regions and entire countries at risk.

For too long we have seemed intent on not just supersizing our portions but supersizing our lifestyles as well. It gets reflected in our choices in which having more, bigger and better drives a need to put our economic performance atop the list of benchmarks. It pushes us to Shelley Luedtke look at the numbers on a pay check as a measure of success rather than the ways in which we can use our work to impact our corner of the world.

So what’s the alternative? Well, we need to invert the formula. We need to embrace a different kind of math; one in which less actually results in more.

The idea of living with less doesn’t sit well with us. We think it means needing to deny ourselves, to make sacrifices we don’t want to make. But far from it. Think of how freeing it would be to live with less. Less overspending, less impulse buying, less financial stress and ultimately less of our pay check going to creditors. Less clutter and less disorganization. Less greed to accumulate more. Less envy of what others may have.

Ironically the very things that we pursue in an attempt at living large, actually make us small if we give in to the pettiness, hostility and pride that comes with defining one’s value by the things we own instead of the mark we can make in the years that we have.

Still feel the need to supersize? Imagine the impact if we were to supersize our care, compassion, and kindness. How big would life feel if we were to supersize our time with family, our conversations with friends, and our opportunities to laugh.

I’ll be honest. I’m not about to give up my bucket of popcorn when I go see a movie but I am more than eager to downsize a lot of the other stuff.

Living with less is one factor in an equation that puts us on the best side of the balance sheet. That’s my outlook.

Observer

Thank you all: My year in the “kinder, gentler province” Lynne Bell Observer Staff

By the time this is printed, I will have just passed my one-year anniversary as a member of Team Observer and as a returning resident of the province of Saskatchewan. When I was considering the move back home, a friend of mine-a confirmed urbanite and native Albertan- who made the move from Calgary to Regina decades ago, urged me to come back to what she called, “The kinder, gentler province.” During the past year, I’ve often joked about earning my “Saskie stripes,” as I’ve covered (and rediscovered) Rider green days, bonspiels, pumpkin growing contests, ag days, fall suppers, craft shows, quad derbies, snowmobile rallies, and lake life, just to name a few.

The two things that stand out most to me are the kindness (and patience!) of people here and how hard many of them work to help others and/ or enrich their communities without any expectation of thanks-either publicly or privately. Most everyone whom I’ve encountered regarding a story has been unfailingly kind, patient (there’s that word again) and helpful, and for that, I’d like to thank you all. I have a list of names of individuals, businesses, and organizations from the communities we cover that would fill an entire issue of The Observer, so I must simply say thanks so very much to you all-and I hope you know who you are.

Putting out a paper is definitely a team sport, and I would especially like to thank my bosses and colleagues here at The Observer for welcoming me with kindness, patience, and humour.

Ted is our head honcho and office jetsetter, but whenever he does grace our local premises, he is never too busy to give guidance, grant holiday leave, or even to “decorate” my office with fabulous vintage finds. Thanks to Ted, I discovered the Dickens rummage sale doesn’t take returns. (But watch out, Boss. Revenge is a dish best eaten cold and I’m playing a long game...Watch this space!).

Through the Lens

Cindy, our boss lady, is a combination of calm, humour, and techie smarts. She is seemingly unflappable and manages to manage us-along with computer crises and other business for our newspaper group-all while retaining her sanity and sense of humour. Her big heart never forgets the big picture though, and if any one of us has a family emergency, she simply says: “Go.” Thank you, Cindy.

Alison is our sales dynamo and like Ted, she’s both in and out of the office. When she’s here, she’s kind, funny, and can always be counted on to supply the editorial staff with story ideas and phone numbers of hard-to-reach individuals, just when we’re about to give up on ever reaching the person in question. And Alison, you always, always, give us a “Good morning” and a “Good night.” Thank you.

Kelly, my lovely young editor, is like Cindy, a mix of kindness, calm, and smarts. Thank you, Kelly for working hard to accommodate me whenever a royal comes to Canada. Thank you for teaching me so much during the past year. Thank you for catching my errors, for the sources, for helping me decode the mysteries of gathering the RCMP Report, as well as for so many other things too long to list here. And of course, thank you for giving me a favourite volleyball team to cheer for- Vipers Forever!

Karen, you were the first person to welcome me-via Facebook-while I was packing up my life in Calgary. You have been kindness itself -in and out of the office- and your knowledge and generosity regarding all aspects of my job has been oh-so-helpful and above and beyond. You’ve given me story ideas, phone numbers, explained who’s who, given me tons of tech help-and you share your adorable grandkids with all of us here at the office. Thank you.

When I arrived here, one of the first things I noticed were signs throughout the office that read: “You know where you’re going. God knows where you’re going. But does WANDA know where you’re

going?” Sadly, our wonderful Wanda is going and I know we will all miss her. Wanda, thank you for your kindness and your help, but most of all, for your hilarity. Cindy and I say, “No one is as fun as Wanda”, and we’re right. I will miss you. Thank you for ensuring that no day at the office goes by without a laugh.

Ainsley is an even more recent member of staff than I. However, during her short time here, she has saved me more than once by catching glaring bloopers in my copy: but that information will forever remain our little secret, right Ainsley? However, I can disclose that she kindly photoshopped my roots in my staff pic. Thank you for that, Ainsley.

(Now if we could just do something about my appearance in real life...)

Crystal is the newest member of Team Observer. She was formerly the nerve centre at our Redvers office and although I haven’t (yet!) had a chance to pester her here at The Observer, she has helped me hugely whenever I had to cover stories in Redvers. (And yes, she gave me driving directions!). Thank you, Crystal and welcome.

Behind the scenes, we have an entire team of people who get the paper out of this building and into the hands of our readers. We have a group of lovely ladies who magically appear at the office every week to get the final product ready for Kiaran to deliver to our readers. Ladies, thank you for livening up the place as we’re hitting the week-end wall.

In addition to his unfailingly pleasant demeanor, Kiaran is the person who delivers The Observer to our readers. He also -literally-does a lot of the heavy lifting around here. I (and my back!) thank you for that, Kiaran.

Of course, without you, our readers and the people who make the news really happen for us (and often, you’re one and the same) there would be no Observer and I would not be here to enjoy this place, this province, its people, and their stories.

Thank you all.

Southeast A’s young and determined After some rain in Alameda on Tuesday, July 7, the Southeast A’s moved their home game to a ball diamond in Carlyle.

This game saw the team come up against Lumsden in the last match of the regular season.

In a hard fought battle with the A’s down they slowly clawed their way back. After digging deep and working hard they were able to reach a 10-8 victory over the visiting Lumsden team.

The Southeast A’s based in Alameda have been working hard all season within the Baseball Regina Bantam AAA league. This is the first year for the A’s and they have been able to hold their own and find success.

Making up the Southeast A’s are youth from Alameda (5), Bienfait (1), Oxbow (2), Wawota (1), Kenosee Lake (1), Kipling (1), Lampman (2), and Carnduff (1).

The team has wrapped their regular season, and have begun league playoffs while looking forward to provincials.

“We started the year off slow, but ended the [regular season] winning our last six of nine games, which put us in seventh out of nine teams in the league,” coach Trent Dorrance explained.

The team will also be competing this year in the provincial A competition, which is being held in Unity this weekend, July 17-19.

“Our team has made huge advancements throughout the year,” Dorrance stated. “We are one of the younger teams in the league and we competed very well. Our hitting and pitching has been the biggest improvements by far. Once the kids realized that they can compete and that they belong in this calibre of baseball they started playing to their abilities. I’m excited to carry this team on into next year and see the continued improvements.”

Southeast Squirts win silver at provincials The Southeast Squirts U12 team competed against 11 other teams in the U12 ‘B’ provincials in Moose Jaw on July 3, 4 & 5. Our team consists of 14 girls from the communities of Carlyle, Alameda and Carnduff. It’s coached by Larrie Rae, Carri-Lee Rutten, Tanya Robertson and Autumn Barta.

Our first game was against the Saskatoon Raiders Black and we came out on top with a 15-1 win after 4 innings. We won our second game 13-5 against the Regina Falcons and our third game 15-1 against the Regina Fighting Saints. Undefeated in our pool, we moved on to play the hometown team, the Moose Jaw Ice, in the semi-finals. Our girls played hard and we came out on top with a score of 11-3.

Our final game put us against the undefeated Unity Panthers. We started our first 3 innings only allowing one run in the first. At the end of the third inning the score was 2-1 for us. Unity chipped away and scored one run in the 4th, and 2 runs in the 5th. The score was 4-2 for Unity at the end of 5 innings. The sixth inning saw Unity score one more run but our bats were finally coming alive and we scored 3 runs in the bottom of the inning to make it a tie of 5-5 going into the 7th and final inning.

With 2 out and 3 on base, a Unity player hit a triple into right field, scoring 3 runs. We were now down 8-5 going into our last bat. Unfortunately, our bats didn’t answer the call and we were denied more runs by Unity’s defense.

The final was a great game of softball between two very strong teams. We are very proud the girls for their efforts. They played hard & we had a great season of ball!

What ... Is ... Going ... On?

The once mighty Saskatchewan Roughriders are the only winless team in the CFL following Friday night’s 35-32 overtime loss at the B.C. Lions.

The Riders are 0-3 and falling behind the pack.

The last time the Roughriders were 0-3, Stephen Harper was the Prime Minister of Canada and Barack Obama was President of the United States!

What’s that you say? Oh, so it hasn’t been that long.

It was 2011 in fact, when the Greg Marshall-led Roughriders stumbled to a 1-7 mark leading to Ken Miller taking over the coaching reins just prior to Labour Day. The club would finish 5-13.

The 2011 season was considered to be a blip on the screen. A misnomer. As it turned out, the hierarchy was right because Corey Chamblin was brought in as head coach in 2012 and the club has pretty much improved every year since.

Until now. Time will tell whether this rocky start in 2015 is just another blip, or the start of a monumental franchise slide. Hey, the good times can’t last forever.

And Chamblin is getting tarred and feathered by a good chunk of the fickle Rider Nation these days, as he’s become the face of the organization.

He’s made so many moves with players and coaches that it’s crystal clear the buck stops with him.

In 2013 he got the Grey Cup, the Coach of the Year Award and a fat, long, new contract.

Now, he’s facing the firing squad. Although any suggestion his job is on the line is ludicrous.

But it seems like this year is moving so fast, it’s like a blur. I’m sure the Riders would love to throw a challenge flag on the season just to have a moment to collect their thoughts. But they can’t.

What am I talking about? Well here’s how they got here: Saskatchewan has held fourth quarter leads in all three of its games only to watch them dwindle into losses each gut-wrenching time.

Friday’s extra-time loss at B.C. Lions was utterly flabbergasting and very likely left an emotional wound. Saskatchewan had an 11-point lead with 2:15 to go! Just play some defense and

let’s get out of here.

Not so fast. The game came down to two 3rdand-1situations which sealed the Riders’ fate. On the first with less than a minute to go and the Riders leading 29-26, Saskatchewan turned the ball over on downs at their own 48-yard line when quarterback Brett Smith couldn’t convert on a sneak. The Lions took over and kicked a 56-yard field goal to tie the game and send it to overtime.

The Riders faced the same scenario in overtime at the B.C. 26-yard line and given the fact Chamblin couldn’t trust his offense to convert just moments earlier, he elected to have Paul McCallum kick a 33-yard field goal. After that, all B.C. had to do was score a touchdown to win. They accomplished that feat alarmingly easily with a four-yard Emmanual Arceneaux touchdown reception to send the 23,062 in attendance into a frenzy.

The Riders fell to 0-3 and were appropriately shocked, stunned and bewildered. I’m told you could hear a pin drop in the locker room for quite a period of time afterwards.

Who’s to blame? The players backed – but failed to execute – the first third down gamble.

Aggressive playcalls show confidence in your team. Better tackling would’ve cinched these victories in all three games, long before it came down to the final minutes or seconds.

You can scratch your head and point as many fingers as you’d like but all roads eventually lead back to Chamblin.

Now it’s up to the head coach to keep this locomotive on the tracks before they fall any further behind and their blossoming confidence is obliterated.

“We gotta find a way. Everybody else is,” Chamblin fumed on CKRM’s postgame show.

“Clean football is what we have to play. Whether we call a three-, four-, or five-man rush, we just have to find a way to get off the field.”

The loss wasted a superb outing for star Rider receiver Weston Dressler (9 catches for 122 yards and two touchdowns), who says they need to reach rock bottom soon before they can start climbing again.

“I think the biggest thing right now for us is recognizing the pain,” Dressler said in a silent locker room after the game. “It should hurt. We should have guys in the locker room that care about winning football games. I’d be worried if guys weren’t quiet in there and weren’t hurting.”

So again the Roughriders will try for their first win this Friday when they host those same B.C. Lions at Mosaic Stadium (8:00 pm, TSN, CKRM) in

Week 4.

Man these games are coming so fast.

Rough start for CFL quarterbacks

By Bruce Penton Professional football is not for sissies. Not only do players have to be tough, but they have to expect and accept injuries — some of them possibly career-ending — as they go about their days of entertaining fans and trying to win championships.

Canadian Football League quarterbacks, in the first couple of weeks of the 2015 season, can attest to the perils of the game. In a league in which a dominant quarterback can often mean the difference between making a run for the title or missing the playoffs, it has been a rough start in 2015.

The late comedian George Carlin (Google him, kids) performed a 1970s sketch in which he compared the ruggedness of football to the comparatively tame game of baseball.

“Football is played on a gridiron,” growled Carlin before switching to a sing-song, highpitched voice and saying “baseball is played in a park,.

“Football players wear helmets,” he said in a low, gravelly voice.

“Baseball players wear caps.”

OK, so football is a tough game. But it’s difficult for the CFL to sell tickets to games when its big-name stars are on the sidelines.

Darian Durant of Saskatchewan is out for the season after rupturing his Achilles tendon. Two Montreal quarterbacks, Jonathan Crompton and Dan LeFevour, both were sidelined in the Als’ first game. (Thirdstringer Rakeem Cato made a big splash in his Als’ debut, but Tim Tebow’s CFL rights

belong to the Als. Just sayin’.) Edmonton’s Mike Reilly wrecked his knee in the Eskimos’ opening game and will reportedly miss at least 10 games. Winnipeg’s Drew Willy’s helmet may have saved him from permanent brain damage after he got seriously drilled in the head in Winnipeg’s second game. He miraculously recovered, however, and missed only half a game.

Perennial all-star Ricky Ray of Toronto started the season on the injury list and will miss a minimum of six games.

Still standing are injuryprone Travis Lulay of the B.C. Lions, Bo Levi Mitchell of defending Grey Cup champion Calgary, Hamilton’s Zach Collaros and Ottawa Redblacks’ veteran Henry Burris.

Still, the hurt list is longer than the healthy list and there are still four months to go before the Grey Cup game.

So who will win the Grey Cup? In this season of quarterback attrition, it could be the last team with its QB still standing.

The debate around modified organisms

By Calvin Daniels Of all the issues facing agriculture, and there are many, I find the debate around genetically modified organisms to be perhaps the most fascinating.

In the simplest of terms modifying organisms is something humans have been doing for decades, if not centuries.

You don’t have to look any farther than the area of our house pets to see what we have accomplished in terms of modifying species.

Take a look in a fish tank and consider the bubble eye goldfish.

According to an online source the Bubble-eye Goldfish variety was first developed in 1908 in China, although there is evidence to suggest they existed in the eighteenth century, which was a long time before current GMO techniques came along.

The dog world is one of extremes from the tiny chihuahua, to the wrinkled sharpei to the massive Irish Wolfhound. All domestic dogs share a very ancient common ancestry, but man has tinkered over the centuries to create varied breeds.

Ditto the cat, the tail less manx and the hairless sphinx a prime example of modification, the latter a development as recent as the 1960s.

15073MF1

It’s the same story in the world of fancy pigeons as well, with rollers, tumblers and a huge range of other breeds.

In the above cases selective breeding was used, and the original animal modified through the selection process.

That same basic technique has brought about significant change in farming too, and often with huge benefit.

As an example, world food security was improved when rust resistant wheat was developed.

Certainly the science at work today is more advanced than that of natural selection, opening the door to more dramatic modification in a shorter span of time, but it is still modification only differing by degrees.

The potential for more dramatic changes does come with the new science. We hear of the day a goat might be raised with leopard skin, something a futurist spoke of in Yorkton more than a decade ago.

That is likely still years away, if ever possible, but what if it did occur?

Is that goat any less like its base ancestor than is a hairless cat?

At present there does seem something of a backlash against science, as it is increasingly the great unknown, so far past general understanding has it evolved.

With the unknown comes distrust.

That distrust is made worse because so much science is not carried out either by big business or government neither rating very high on the public trust meter either, much of that distrust earned by the recent track record of both.

So when a new GMO product comes out from a major chemical company, as an example, there is a huge fear factor for many.

Yet, the pure science of GM crops is saying they are safe.

There will always be the ‘what if’ in 50-years question, but that exists for car exhaust, food additives and a hundred other things we use in our daily lives.

In the end what GM technology does offer is a way to maybe keep ahead of the curve in terms of feeding a growing population on a finite amount of land capable of growing crops. For that reason alone it is a road we must likely travel unless we want to see food stocks stretched past their limits in the not all too distant future.

Cornerstone Cruisers

Show ‘N Shine

Photos by Lynne Bell

Rick and Norine Schreiner of Kenosee Lake took ownership of their 1970 Mustang Mac1 from a seller in New York State. Famed car customizer George Barris signed the inside of the car’s hood at a show in New York when the car won the George Barris Award. Barris is the creator of the Batmobile, TV’s Night Rider Kitt car, the General Lee Charger (from television’s ‘The Dukes of Hazzard’), and others.

Rodney Godenir of Antler purchased his 1974 Plymouth Roadrunner from a seller in Duluth, Minnesota. “It’s all original,” says Godenir.

The members of the Cornerstone Cruisers come from communities from throughout southeastern Saskatchewan, including Carlyle, Redvers, Wawota, Kenosee Lake, Arcola, Kisbey, Antler and Bienfait. The event also draws vintage vehicle enthusiasts from throughout the province. Bernie Niska (pictured here) brought the 1934 Pontiac Convertible Roadster he owns with his wife, Judy, to the show. “ I’m a Pontiac guy, ” says Bernie. “It’s a restorod. The body is original, but the engine is (rebuilt). The car weighs about 2,800 pounds.”

Cliff Costron of Kenosee Lake is the original owner of this 1968 Dodge Dart. “I take it to a lot of shows,” says Costron. “I am the original owner since 1969. It was my first car and it’s original and completely unrestored.”

Club member Robert Haygarth of Bienfait purchased his 1959 Ford Fairlaine in Noonan, North Dakota “ Just sitting out in someone’s yard about seven or eight years ago. I’ve been a fan of ‘59 Fords, so I was happy to find it.”

Car enthusiasts enjoyed a beautiful day in Moose Mountain Provincial Park as they admired the variety of vintage vehicles at the Cornerstone Cruisers’ second annual Show ‘N Shine. Kevin Wilson of the Cornerstone Cruisers says, “The park is very receptive of what we’re trying to do here. They’ve really welcomed us with open arms.”

From Page 16 - Maryfield Fair “Some directors of the Fair have said it’s their last year and are looking to pass it down to the younger generation,” Chambers explained. “It’s lasted through the years because people felt it was important part of Mary¿eld and district, because it’s just not people in Mary¿eld supporting or helping with it. I’ve been involved since the early 80s.

I had exhibited in Moosomin as a kid and now I’m a judge. It’s that involvement throughout the ages that helps keep this going.”

Participants in fact take part in the Mary¿eld Fair from Moosomin to Virden to Elkhorn, as well as locally from Mary¿eld and surrounding area

such as Redvers, Wawota, and Fairlight.

“It is a truly community ĕort because it’s no longer just the Ag Society involved,” Chambers said. “Dĭerent groups put on dĭerent events throughout the day and help make the Fair a success each year.”

This year’s line-up includes breakfast between 8 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. with the opening of the 100th Mary¿eld Summer Fair to occur at 9 a.m. in the horse arena.

The MSBC and Hunter/Jumper shows will each begin at 9:30 a.m., while exhibit judging will begin at 9:20 a.m. following the Fair’s opening.

Other excitement includes bouncers for kids, a petting zoo, a chili cook-ŏ, photo booth by Pat Siemens, Hoop Girl, cotton candy and snow cones, Shirley Campbell’s famous pie and ice cream, mechanical bull riding, and SGI Safety Games with the Safety Squad during the day.

The exhilarating exhibit auction will begin at 4 p.m., which Chambers says is always fun, with proceeds raised going towards STARS Air Ambulance.

Supper will follow at 5 p.m. and evening entertainment will feature the Spotted Rain Dance Troupe from Cowessess First Nation who will perform pow wow dances.

The Bear Claw Casino’s Donation Drive for Fire Evacuees was generously supported by communities throughout the local area. “We put the word out, and people, businesses and organizations from throughout the area responded generously,” says marketing coordinator, Peggy Slykhuis. Here, Bear Claw staff are pictured with volunteers at The Gathering Place in Regina on Thursday, July 9. The Gathering Place supplies evacuees with necessities such as toiletries.

Lyndon Aiken of Carlyle Food World is pictured with part of the store’s donation to the Bear Claw Casino’s campaign to aid people displaced by the forest fires burning in northern Saskatchewan.

Janice Pelletier, finance manager for the casino, says, “It’s the least we can do, and I know that many people feel the same way.

When there are people in need, you definitely want to step up and help.”

On Thursday, July 9, volunteers from the Bear Claw Casino took a trailer and a truck ¿lled with donations to help those displaced by devastating forest ¿res in northern Saskatchewan; as well as donations that would be sent north to feed pets who had to be left behind.

Pictured are just a few of the individuals and business from throughout southeast Saskatchewan who supported the casino’s project.

“People from every community throughout the area stepped up and donated quickly and generously. We can’t thank them enough, but we hope they know how much their incredible generosity is appreciated,” says Peggy Slykhuis. “It’s great to see, but it’s not surprising. I think people from our area are good people and they can easily put themselves in the shoes of their neighbours from the north.”

“We’d like to thank everyone who contributed to our donation drive.”

Prior to the Bear Claw Casino’s campaign to assist people displaced by the forest fires in the northern part of the province, employee Teagan Littlechief made two previous trips to Regina to drop off donations. “I actually have a lot of friends up north,” says Littlechief. “I collected donations from the surrounding communities and people were great. In Regina, it was difficult to see that many people out of their homes and cooped up in a shelter. It’s devastating.”

Faron Biesentahal of Merit Ford in Carlyle presents Peggy Slykhuis of the Bear Claw Casino with a generous donation which will be used to assist evacuees from communities in northern Saskatchewan who have had to leave their homes due to the massive forest fires burning in that part of the province.

Pelletier says, “Not only are the people who are affected by these fires evacuated far from their homes, they face the possibility of losing their homes and everything in them, including First Nations things that are sacred and irreplaceable. The support has been great from all of the communities in the area. I think we are all putting ourselves in their shoes.”

“People are so generous,” says Peggy Slykhuis, from the casino’s marketing department. “It’s really great to see.”

Janice Pelletier (left) and Teagan Littlechief (right) of the Bear Claw Casino accept a donation from Elaine Porter of Uxbridge, Ontario, on behalf of herself and her sister, Wilma Lothian of Carlyle. Porter said, “We heard about the Casino’s fire relief campaign on the radio. You always hope that if you were in a situation like that, somebody would help you out.”

The Bear Claw Casino’s Donation Drive for Fire Evacuees not only benefitted displaced people from northern Saskatchewan. Casino staffers also collected contributions for pet who had to be left behind. On Thursday, July 9, casino staff delivered contributions to Regina’s Pack Project, an organization that is sending supplies to northern Saskatchewan to feed these animals. Peggy Slykhuis of the Bear Claw Casino says, “For this mission, they need to send up 100,000 pounds of pet food. That’s usually the amount they send up for an entire year, but with the size of the fires and the number of animals affected, they will need this much just for the displaced animals.”

Wawota Farm and Auto Supply generously supported the Bear Claw Casino’s Donation Drive for Fire Evacuees. Pictured are: (L-R) Janice Pelletier, Wawota Farm and Auto Supply employee Randy Leech, Andrea Starr and Vida McArthur.

Pelletier says, “People are so giving. I think we all feel as though we hope someone would help us if we were in the same situation.” Wawota Farm and Auto Supply owner Muray Davis says, “We’re happy to help.”

Bear Claw Casino marketing coordinator receives a donation of new clothing from Ken King of Kings Department Store in Carlyle. “I have such an appreciation for what the casino has done for our community,” says King. “When they peg a project as important to them, it’s important to us. We’re happy to help them help the people of northern Saskatchewan who are affected by these fires.”

Letter to the Editor There are many people and organizations in Arcola that do such a good job of making our community a better place to live and I want to recognize some of them.

First I would like to congratulate Cathy Burton on her many amazing accomplishments. Her talents are remarkable and her cupcakes for the July 1 were enjoyed by all that attended.

There are also a few people that belong to organizations that should be recognized for all their wonderful work, I won’t mention names as I would surely miss some, but most people will know who they are.

Number 1 is the group that works so hard to keep our hospital and medical clinic open and continue to find doctors and all the work that goes along with these recruiting efforts.

The group that did so much to restore our fair grounds and bring back Fair Day, a job very well done. The grounds look great.

The group that keeps the Prairie Place Complex operating so well and attracting events to our community.

The wonderful job that the Daycare Committee is doing in keeping the Daycare Centre growing and doing well.

The member of the Optimist Club for their investment in restoring and improving the Optimist Legion Hall and the MacMurray Theatre.

These people need to be given a pat on the back for all the hard work they do as volunteers in our community.

There are a couple of things I would like to express my concern about: I have a concern that most of our town employees do not live in Arcola or pay taxes here.

I also think that local contractors paying taxes here should be given priority for work needing to be done in town. It is disappointing to see out of town contractors doing work in Arcola when we have local people/businesses paying taxes that could be doing the same job.

I was also sad to hear that our most experienced and qualified councilor has resigned from Council, but I would like to encourage residents to take an interest in our community and put their name for nomination for the vacant seat.

A slice of life in Saskatchewan Derrell Rodine has lived and hunted in Saskatchewan and many other places in North America for most of his adult life. He operates a guiding operation with his son from his farm in South East Saskatchewan and sees clients from all over the continent.

Derrell’s book, A Lifetime of Hunting, published by Word Alive Press in Winnipeg, was printed in June 2015.

“The title of the book tells some of the story,” says Derrell.

“I have been blessed all my life with the opportunity to hunt and fish in the great outdoors and I wouldn’t trade these adventures for anything.

I wanted to tell people some of what I’ve experienced because it is not available to everyone and I think they don’t understand what they are missing.

The hunting life and the life of the hunter is disappearing even in

Looking back to move ahead Pause for

By Linda Wegner Stories I’ve heard of people who were lost, then rescued, contain a variation of this sentence: “I got confused and lost my sense of direction”.

Whether or not it’s about wandering in some back country wilderness or having made an unwise decision, losing one’s sense of direction is a dilemma that we all face. Go back? Forward?

What’s the right direction?

My dear friend,

Susan, historian and author, sparked my thoughts about these questions while reading the latest contribution to her blog, “My year of living backwards”. If it wasn’t for the fact that I know her to be one of the most talented, creative people I know, I might have questioned her choice of words.

Living backwards.

Isn’t that what we’re not supposed to do? Doesn’t present, let alone future success, hinge on moving forward in spite of the past?

Under the provisions of The Alcohol and Gaming Regulations Act, 1997 Notice is hereby given that

Jamie Alexander Gentes has applied to the Liquor and Gaming Authority for a Restaurant with Lounge Permit to sell alcohol in premises known as

Main Street Eats at 106 Main St, Carlyle, SK of which the following is a correct legal description: Lot 11 & 12 Block 2 Plan No. 37568 106 Main St, Town of Carlyle Written objections to the granting of the permit may be filed with SLGA not more than two weeks from the date of publication of this notice.

Every person filing a written objection with SLGA shall state their name, address and telephone number in printed form, as well as the grounds for the objection(s). Petitions must name a contact person, state grounds and be legible. Each signatory to the petition and the contact person must provide an address and telephone number.

Frivolous, vexatious or competition-based objections within the beverage alcohol industry may not be considered, and may be rejected by the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Licensing Commission, who may refuse to hold a hearing.

As I’ve mused on the topic several seemingly contradictory Scripture passages come to mind.

In the first, Philippians 3:13, the Apostle Paul talks about forgetting the former things so that our past doesn’t hinder experiencing all that God has for us each coming day. Forget the things that hinder our progress!

In contrast, a number of other passages written by the same man, exhort us to remember God’s grace toward us, to recall the need for respectfulness, to refrain from nastiness and to avoid evil.

On the other hand, Susan’s right: looking back on life has got to be one of the best ways to ensure that we are moving forward. I can’t think of a better spiritual GPS system than to remember the times we’ve been spared the results of our own foolishness and to recall God’s goodness to us even when we’ve been less than gracious to someone else.

“It is God who works in [us] for His good pleasure” Philippians 2:13

Reflection

Going gray or going gay and the two doors When the Saskatoon Mayor recently decided not to be present at the Gay Pride Parade he faced a “damned if you do and damned if you don’t” decision.

Choice in the matter was really an illusion, a gray area.

I’m reminded of Larson’s Far Side cartoon where a man who has just arrived in hell faces two doors. One says “Damned if you do”, the other states “Damned if you don’t”. So which one should he choose? Would it make more sense if there was only one door with both expressions on it? Either way, he’s still in hell.

Perhaps, as one on-line reader suggests, “The joke is that he’s being given the illusion of choice, while not having any choice at all.” ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags” /Saskatoon’s Mayor Atchison was going to run afoul of public opinion whatever choice he made regarding the Gay Pride Parade.

I’m reminded of situations we face frequently where moral choices are involved. Can I support Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party along with his proabortion stand? Can we support the whole while excluding parts?

One week after Bruce Jenner declared that he is a woman Pope Francis denounced gender ideology (one can choose to be male or female despite physical and biological attributes) as an aberration. The gender differences in God’s creation are for communion and procreation, he stated. In God’s creation male and female complement each other.

Pope Francis explained that while contemporary culture has opened new opportunities for understanding the sexual difference, it has also introduced “many doubts and much scepticism” (Diane Montagna, Aleteia).

Another recent example of a gray area choice comes from Oklahoma where the Catholic Diocese of Tulsa resigned its membership in the Oklahoma Center for Community and Justice after the OCCJ took part in the Tulsa Pride parade, one of the “longest-running gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender festivals in Oklahoma.” How do you and I stand for values in the face of public opinion? How do we balance respect and justice for all while maintaining moral absolutes?

I recall the late Father Ogle was a Member of Parliament in Canada at a time when the Vatican forbade political involvement by clergy. At the same time Ogle was a member of the pro-abortion NDP Party. Yet there was never a doubt about what Father Bob Ogle stood for.

Being a Christian gives us some guidelines. Jesus always accepted the sinner and not the sin. He challenged sinners to follow the way and to “sin no more”. To the rich young man he said, “You are not far from the kingdom. If you would be perfect, sell all you have, give it to the poor, and come, follow me” (Mark 10:17-30).

If you and I would be perfect we need to make informed choices on moral questions. Public opinion may be heated on life and death issues such as abortion, capital punishment and mercy-killing. Whatever the issue, we need to make moral choices that will lead to the respect and understanding of all people.

We need to be in the world, but not of the world. And let us not be surprised by what the world throws at us. The devil is near. I am reminded of the new-comer in hell who is served a cup of coffee. It is cold. He remarks, “They think of everything here.”

Kenosee Lake News Submitted by Barbara Haddow

Joyce and Jerry Brown of Kenosee Lake travelled to Herbert, SK., for Joyce’s father’s funeral on July 4 after her father, Abe Dyck, passed away. Their son, Marlowe, and his wife, Pam Brown from Carlyle (Jerry and Joyce’s daughterin-law) also attended the funeral as well as many other relatives and friends from Herbert and area.

A great 60th birthday party was held by the family of Christene Beahm of Kenosee Lake at the Four Seasons Community Center Saturday, July 11, 2015 from 2:00-4:00 pm. Husband Bill Beahm and their three children, Derek,Selena, and Tressa, and had a bounteous lunch for family and friends in honor of Christene followed by a mix of chocolate and white birthday prepared as a decimarble cake made locally. The family and friends had prepared

A place where they can see the latest equipment in action, in the field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; operating in the same environment itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made for. A place where farmers can see multiple varieties of live crop plots growing side by side in the field.

This summer, such a place will exist.

Introducing Ag in Motion, Western Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest and only outdoor farm expo. Debuting July 21 to 23, on a half-section (320 acres) near Saskatoon, SK, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only show that provides an outdoor venue for progressive farmers in Western Canada that want to see and experience the latest agricultural innovation, all in one place. Ag in Motion will feature field equipment demonstrations, live crop plots and interactive exhibits such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;ride and drivesâ&#x20AC;? and smaller equipment demos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ag in Motion will offer farmers a unique opportunity to compare crop plots and machinery, in action, and ultimately help them make decisions about the best products for their operations,â&#x20AC;? says Show Director Rob Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nowhere else in Western Canada where farmers can actually see multiple pieces of farm equipment in operation, take a test drive, or compare different crop varieties all in one place.â&#x20AC;?

What does an outdoor show look like?

The Ag in Motion team brings together the expertise of seasoned farm show organizers.

The Expo is operated by Glacier FarmMedia, who owns Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outdoor Farm Show, the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest outdoor farm show held annually near Woodstock, Ontario. Also part of Glacier FarmMedia are Western Producer, Manitoba Co-operator, Grainews, Country Guide, Canadian Cattlemen, Alberta Farmer Express and AgDealer. The team knows whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involved in delivering an outdoor show, and the potential such a venue provides.

Now in its 22nd year, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outdoor Farm Show delivers 750 exhibitors and 42,000 visitors each year. Most attendees come to see the newest technologies in agriculture. Its success is based on the fact that active farmers attend to do business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; make decisions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the show is dedicated solely to agricultural products, equipment and services.

Ag in Motion is applying the same model and will become a must-see event by showcasing cutting-edge agricultural advancements that empower Canadian farmers to help meet their goals in producing high quality, safe food in a competitive marketplace.

To learn more about how an outdoor show looks and operates, view the videos on the Ag in Motion website, www.aginmotion.ca.

Live Demos and Interactive Exhibits The number of Ag in Motion exhibitors is growing steadily each week and includes seed and crop protection companies, field equipment and livestock handling manufacturers, financial services, nutrition, baling products, tires, fertilizers and much more.

Spending last week holidaying with their grandparents, Pierre and Brenda Boutin were Jenson and Sage Howse (Regina) and while here took swimming lessons and enjoyed spending time at the pool.

Spending overnight on July 7 with Dale and Holly Anthony was his sister Heather Goddard (Moose Jaw). Heather was on her way via United States to visit her son, Greg and family at Elmira, ON then hopes to travel to the Maritimes for a holiday.

Dave Ince and Gloria Girard spent from June 29 – July 9 in Calgary house and pet sitting for friends and visiting with Gloria’s son Steven and Brandi Bradshaw, and granddaughter Nora.

Neil, Karol McIntyre and their family are pleased to welcome their son/brother back home to this area. Brad, his wife Robin and daughter Elsie will be making their new home in Redvers where Brad will soon be taking up his position as one of the medical doctors for the Redvers Health Clinic.

He has signed a contract and will begin working on July 20, 2015. Welcome back Brad and family and good luck in your new endeavor.

Tim, Shelly and Ainsley Cowan spent the weekend (July 10-13) in Minot visiting with the Nilsen family, attended Shelly’s school reunion and Ainsley had a dental appointment on Monday before they returned home.

Four of Alida’s young girls participated in the Provincial U12 Girls Ball tournament in Yorkton

over the weekend (July 10-12). Charity Lemieux, Emma Paxman and Brook Schulhauser played with the Oxbow team and Sadie Potapinski played with the Redvers Red Sox. Placing 1st and winning the gold was the Estevan team, Redvers Red Sox won silver and Oxbow brought home the bronze.

Congratulations girls – you all did great – Way to Go! Teresa, Charity and Mari Lemieux, Tracy Praski and Emma, Trisha, Brook, Kolton and Allie Schulhauser, attended the ball tournament in Yorkton over the weekend to watch their daughters, Charity, Emma and Brook participate.

On Saturday (July 11) Agatha Potapinski (Regina), Mickie and Hillary Sauder (Hodgeville) came to watch Sadie play ball and to visit with the family.

Alida has a new business in the area – “Carrie’s Country Eats”, a mobile concessions trailer. Good luck Carrie with your new business adventure.

It’s Football Fever time – or something like

that I think – The Riders definitely must have something ailing as they are back at their old tricks – making good plays, getting some breaks, scoring points and even getting ahead in the game, then in the last few plays or in overtime, it’s oh oh – whoops and they’ve lost the game by a few points.

Yah, they’ve lost their last three games now – so come on guys pull up those socks and let’s show them that WE CAN DO IT –next game is on Friday, July 17 against the BC Lions in Regina – GO – RIDERS – GO. We’ve sure had a mixed bag of weather this past week or more. It’s been HOT with high humidity making it feel that much hotter which in turn brews us some kind of storm. Once again we kind of lucked out, only receiving a little rain and some wind. We missed the hail, down pours, blackouts etc. so yeah we lucked out. Garden is improving with the moisture that we received and things are looking good out there, and I seem to be able to keep ahead of the weeds (ha ha). The lawn is holding its own, doesn’t seem to needing cutting as often (thank goodness) but it still keeps one busy. Farmers around are busy trying to get their haying done, so of course are hoping the weatherman will cooperate, think they’d like to see the humidity drop a few degrees to help dry the hay up – good luck fellas and please be careful out there on those machines. Crops in the area are sure looking good and with this heat things will surely move along fairly quickly and before we know it harvest will be beginning.

Donna Olsen and her daughter Shenay of Coquitlam, BC visited with Donna’s Aunt Betty Walker and other family members recently.

Marie Vail travelled to Hawley,Minnesota to attend the grade 12 graduation of her granddaughter, Annie Vail. After this event on May 30th Annie returned to Wawota with Marie for a week’s visit. On their return to Hawley they stopped in Winnipeg to attend the wedding of Marie’s daughter Shirley Christian. Shirley and John Schur were married at a small wedding at their home with a few family members( Mathew and Amanda Christian and Kori Christian) and close friends in attendance. Then, on July 4th Marie attended the wedding of her granddaughter, Crystal Vail ( David’s daughter)at St. Joseph’s Colony. Crystal married Joseph Steinuble. Brian Vail and Annie attended this wedding and stopped overnight in Wawota.

Gordon and Marie Clements and Allan and Linda Clements enjoyed a chartered fishing trip in Prince Rupert. They were fishing for salmon and halibut and reported good luck!

James Schaffer of Regina and his grandson Luckus of Turner Valley AB visited with Luckus’ great-grandparents, Joe and Jean Brisbois. They also visited with Doug Carpenter and Mary Anne Schaffer.

John Bonar visited with his sister-in-law, Bev, her daughter Michell, granddaughter, Laurel, Bev’s son Curtis and Lesa Bonar and their children Maryibelle and Ellis on July 6th.

Travelling from Paris, France to visit family members in Wawota were Florence Planeix and Philippe. They were visiting with cousins Leanne and Chad Jackson and others. They are related through the Robert Jacques side of the family.

They first came in 1982 and this was their 4th trip to Canada.

Congratulations to Rayna and Filipe Souza of Vancouver, BC on the birth of their daughter on July 4th. She weighed 4lbs 14oz and has been named Maya Rose.

Odds and ends... Silly me! I was taught to pay my bills, not spend money I can’t afford and if I owned any credit cards, I would realize that I need to pay whatever amount put on them. However, just recently I saw where The Consumer Debtor Protection of Canada will cancel up to 50% of your debt and if you owe over $10,000 you may get as much as 80% forgiven ???? So if I am careless in my spending I can pay 20% of what I owe and keep what I bought. This is like finding items on sale for 80% off. Doesn’t make any sense to me!!

The sun is shining – it’s a beautiful summer day. Turn off the television!

Get out there and enjoy a Discovery Walk with your children. You can walk to a nearby park, or just around your neighbourhood.

Walking is a fantastic activity for you and your children. It’s free. All you need is a comfortable pair of shoes. You can go pretty much wherever you want to. Remember that your children’s legs are shorter than yours.

Slow your pace and use your walk as a time for conversation, adventure and exploration. ● Watch for birds – how many you can spot? Talk about them – are they big or little? Which are the noisiest? Which are the prettiest? If you are really lucky, you might even spot a bird’s nest! ● Keep an eye out for different animals and insects. You are likely to see cats, dogs, beetles, bees, butterflies, ladybugs and dragonflies. What sounds do they make? How many legs or wings do they have? ● Make a list of all the natural things you can find such as rocks, leaves, cat tails and pine cones. ● Stop in safe spot and have everyone close their eyes. What can you hear? Can you smell anything? This activity can heighten a child’s awareness of his/ her surroundings and develop the non-visual senses.

Walking together will help keep you and your family healthy in mind as well as body. It helps to boost everyone’s mood and it’s a great way to spend quality time together!

Do you have a digital camera, and a photographer’s eye? If so, why not take the plunge for The Summer Times’ second annual photo contest!

If you have a summer-themed photo from the region that you feel might just be good enough to ‘WOW!’ e-mail it in to observer@sasktel.net with the subject line “Summer Times Photo Contest”. Be sure to include your name, phone number and mailing address with the e-mail. Photos should be transmitted via e-mail in their highest resolutions. Photos that do not meet the 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!

In Memoriam

In Memoriam

HEWITT: Trenton P. Hewitt.

1980 - 2002, Son, Grandson, Brother.

AALBERS: In loving memory of Jerry Aalbers, Nov. 1, 1936 to July 16, 2005.

Ten years have passed and those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day.

Unseen, unheard, but always near Still loved, still missed and very dear And forever remembered by Linda, sons Gerald and Robert and their families 9-1

Carolyn (Lyn) Doty In loving memory of Lyn, who passed away July 23, 2008.

This day is remembered and quietly kept No words are needed, we shall never forget, for those we love don’t go away They walk beside us every day Unseen and unheard but always near, So loved, so missed and so very dear.

Daryle, Deanna, Doug, Jay, Janice, Janice and Dale, and all their families

No words we write can ever say How much we miss you every day.

As time goes by the loneliness grows, How we miss you nobody knows.

We think of you in silence and often speak your name, But all we have are memories and photos in a frame.

No one knows our sorrow, Rarely have they seen us weep, But the love we have for you Is in our hearts to keep.

We’ve never stopped loving you, We know we never will.

Deep inside our hearts, You are with us still.

Heartaches in this world are many, But ours are worse than any.

Our hearts still ache as we whisper low, “I love you and I miss you so.”

Love always, Philip, Sarah, Norma, Lee, Renae, Ramona 9-1

HAPPY 85th BIRTHDAY MOM!

McCONNELL: In loving memory of William James McConnell, Nov. 10, 1957 July 23, 2012.

God saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be So He put his arms around you And whispered, “Come to Me”.

A golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands now rest God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

Great missed and loved by your family: Dad (Lloyd); sisters: Jo-Ann (Greg), Janet (Chuck); brothers: Rick (Wendy), Lionel (Lori-Ann), Tracy (Kelly) and families 9-1

Once again please forgive me in my mistakes re - it should have been Cathy Dean celebrating her birthday, and Hadley Schmidt should have been Hadley Blaise.

This is a good year for the wild saskatoons and I hear there are a lot of folks out picking ó thatís what Mother Nature intended you to do.

Summer is a great time of the year especially for celebrating with family and friends. Joe and Eva Raiwet were pleased to have their daughters Laurie of Edmonton and Donna from Regina spend a week with them. Allen Raiwet of Regina was also visiting during the week.

Lynís Clothing party held at the Friendship Center was very successful with a number of ladies attending and having a social time together. Lyn will be back in October bringing her fall clothing.

Murray and Karin Bertalon had a holiday in Nova Scotia and area this past week, Karrissa returned home with them, she has been in Halifax for the past while attending photography classes.

Jeremy Green of Lampman spent the past week with his grandmother Yvonne Bertalon.

I understand why people can get so involved with antique cars and trucks ó the show they had at Kenosee Lake on Saturday was great but I never noticed a Model T Ford. Maybe my eyes were not seeing.

The past weekend was great for reunions.

Thirty-six descendants of Bill and Irene West gathered in Langbank for a family reunion on July 10 - 12 weekend. Families spent Friday at the Kenosee waterslides; young and old went golfing at Windthorst on Saturday morning, then, participants gathered back in Langbank for a family ball game later in the day. The water balloon fight was a refreshing highlight with the hot weather on Saturday! Cousins, Shirley Williams and Judy Strick, from Manitoba, visited with the family on Saturday. A pancake breakfast on Sunday morning brought the reunion to an end; although many headed to Moose Mountain Provincial Park, some to the beach and others to the golf course. It was a great family time!

For the past number of years the families of the late Constant and Annie Istace get together at the original farm, once again they enjoyed their times together, a visitor from Medicine Hat just wanted to stay for the rest of the summer ó it was so peaceful.

All members were not there at the same time but it was a come anytime during the weekend.

The camp site at Kennedy was filled with members of the Dorrance Reunion. A detailed report will be in a later paper.

The McMillan families gathered for a family reunion at Clearview Christian Camp after a seven year span. The families were the descents

of the late Willie and Marie McMillan, about 50 people gathered from Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Washington State.
