Years of dedication: Adrian Paton’s extensive photo collection digitized Kelly Running Observer Staff

Knowing one’s history is an important step to knowing one’s heritage. In Arcola, Adrian Paton, has dedicated years to collecting photographs which depict Saskatchewan’s early history. Beginning in the late 1980s when he received his grandmother’s photo album his passion expanded in 1993 while working on a local history project. His years of dedication have coalesced in the creation of a travelling exhibit by the Saskatchewan History and Folklore Society. The exhibit was unveiled on Sunday, Nov. 29, in Arcola where the display will stay for three months before travelling to libraries and schools across the province. The President of the Saskatchewan History and Folklore Society, Keith Carlson, explained that when the Society ﬁrst approached Paton in relation to the collection that, “We asked what he wanted to see done with his collection, and Adrian being a generous man simply said he wanted people to see them and to share them.” Ultimately the best way to do that was to send out two history students from the University of Saskatchewan for two summers to digitize over 800 photographs, although Paton has approximately 8,000 images in his possession. Initially worried that when they arrived there would simply be a drawer ﬁlled with photos strewn about, they were happily surprised when they discovered Paton had

With the photos digitized, they can now be viewed online, on the Saskatchewan History and Folklore Society’s webpage: http://shfs.ca/. In addition to the photos compiled online, the Saskatchewan History and Folklore Society wanted to create something more tangible, something that would also include brief written histories putting the images into context, thus the travelling exhibit was created based on the themes Paton had

categorized them in. The exhibit comes with a teacher’s guide as well for grades three to five, which helps teachers fit the exhibit into their provincial curriculum. “I would like to thank everybody for coming,” Paton said to the amassed crowd which filled the Arcola Library. “I’m always asked why I do this, why I started collecting, and I’ve never had an answer. I just started and it began to grow. I’ve been asked where I get them and I now have over 300 donors, and many of you in this room are included in that.”

“Operation Redneck” brings the laughter in Stoughton Kelly Running Observer Staff

Staff photo by Kelly Running

JJ (Aaron Walbaum) has an unimpressed Beth (Lauren Creighton) help him perform “‘Rodeo’ and Juliet” to attempt to win back his love, Tina (Dee Lyke).

Hilarity ensued when six community actors took to the stage in Stoughton to present “Operation Redneck.” A fundraiser for the community swimming pool the play was hosted four nights, Fridays and Saturdays, Nov. 20 and 21, and Nov. 27 and 28. The event was sold out each night and one of the main organizers, Danielle Hoffman, explained that the event was expected to bring in approximately $20,000, which will be put towards replacing the pool liner. The idea to host the dinner theatre developed last year with Hoffman and Holly Fraser discussing the possibility of hosting one as a fundraiser. The two became this year’s director and stage manager. “It’s quite impressive, none of the cast has any experience doing something like this with the exception of one person,” Hoffman told The Observer. “A heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone involved and to everyone who made this possible.” The performance opened on three roommates: Julie (Victoria Fraser), Tina (Dee Lyke), and Beth (Lauren Creighton). Living in a small town, a “redneck” community, Julie receives word that her boyfriend Jacob (Trevor Elliott) wants to visit. With Jacob being a big city, liberal, environmentalist, Julie worries about him meeting her father, Pa (Scott Richardson) and friends – including Tina’s boyfriend JJ (Aaron Walbaum) – in the small town. Jacob is warned not only by Julie, but a second time by Beth, to do his best to blend in; to avoid dressing and acting too liberally. Upon meeting JJ, Jacob easily

insults the local and runs from an angry JJ. The ladies are later greeted by a drunk Jacob and JJ who have become buddies. As Jacob attempts to be more like JJ, he ends up insulting Julie in front of Pa, and is told to leave. During this time JJ upsets Tina, who would like someone who treats her a little bit better. As the ladies leave a heartbroken JJ and Jacob, the two men decide they must find a way to win back the hearts of their loves. Deciding to buy airtime on the local television station the two end up inciting the town who were enjoying their regularly scheduled program as the men go up to the water tower to write Julie’s and Tina’s names as the ultimate declaration of their love. Tina forgives JJ, while Julie forgives Jacob although she is hesitant to return to their relationship until her father gives her wise words of encouragement. The performance, although centred around love, was quite comedic. With Walbaum taking on a “Jeff Foxworthy” southern style of speech he encompassed the stereotypical “redneck.” While Lyke took on an Elly May Clampett type of naivité to her character. With great comedic timing each performer showed that even though they might not be well versed in acting that they were the perfect casting choices. The group put on a fantastic show, which came together through their hard work, which saw 23 rehearsals since September or 104 hours of practice. The dedication to the performance meant the play went off without a hitch and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all who happily enjoyed their time at the show.

Eagle Motorsports tops off stellar season with Vegas victories Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

The team from Manor’s Eagle Motorsports topped off a stellar season by taking first and second place in the Young Guns Duel in the Desert at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday, Nov. 15, taking home a total of 18 trophies during the season. Brothers Masen and Jett BigEagle raced their IMCA (International Motor Contest Association) modified cars to first and second place respectively on the half-mile long track, while their mentor and fellow Eagle Motorsports team member, Joey Galloway, placed 15th in a field of 250 top drivers from throughout North America at the Duel in the Desert. “We always want to beat each other so we have the bragging rights on the way home,” says Masen. “Our competitors in the Young Guns were all really good racers. I didn’t see one bad name on that list.” “Once you start racing, you’re hooked,” he says. “But that’s nothing compared to the feeling you get when you win. You just want that feeling all the time. Obviously, it doesn’t happen all the time, but you just get out there and do the best you can.” “We had a great season,” says Jett, who captured second place in the Young Guns event. “It was an outstanding one for our team. We won 18 trophies in 27 nights of racing.” “I absolutely did not see this coming,” adds Jett. “I had a little bit of a rough start, but I found my groove. This year, we raced at home and we travelled a bit before Vegas-to Estevan, and Minot, Dickinson, Mandan, Jamestown in North Dakota, to Rimbey, Alberta and Emo, Ontario, which is Joey’s hometown.” “Vegas is a very big track,” he says. “It’s considered a half-mile and we’re used to racing on quarter-mile or 3/8 of a mile tracks here. We got there in time to practice and it was definitely a learning curve, but by the last day, we had it figured out.” The BigEagle brothers’ fellow team member, driver and mentor, Joey Galloway says, “We’ve had a great season. I didn’t drive last year because it was Jett’s first year and I wanted to get him off on the right foot racing. Both boys wanted to reach the top rank for racing this year, which I think they did.” “As for myself, I’ve had a really great comeback season. I had nine feature wins and this year, I won the Eagle Showdown at our home track, which meant a lot to me, mostly because Derrick, Shelley, Masen and Jett treat me like family. As a team, we’ve had a really great year, too.” “With Masen and Jett’s season and with their wins in Vegas, you know you’re doing your job right when they beat you!” adds Galloway. “At the Young Guns, Derrick (Masen and Jett’s father) told them: ‘I don’t care which one of you

wins, but one of you better,’ and they did. Masen took first-place and Jett came in second.” Derrick, a former racer and founder of Eagle Motorsports says, “I did say that. I used to go there and watch the Duel in the Desert and the Young Guns Race. It’s a big race, and a pretty prestigious award for a young lad.” “I told them: ‘We’re not driving 26 hours to Vegas to come in third.’” “The boys have sacrificed their whole adolescent lives to do this,” adds Derrick. “When they’re not racing, they’re in the shop. Over 26 nights of racing this season before Vegas, there were 16 trophies on the counter in the shop. They would see them every time they walked in. Third-place just wasn’t an option.” “To get a first-place in the U.S., you’re competing against the toughest racers in the country. We didn’t just win on one track. A win like this means a lot,” he says. “One of our goals was for them to be competitive on different tracks and to be able to compete anywhere,” adds Derrick. “They’ve raced at IMCAsanctioned tracks in our area (in Estevan and throughout North Dakota), in Florida, and at the Super Nationals in Iowa” “When both of the boys came first and second in the Young Guns race, it was very rewarding for them and for me and my wife, Shelley,” says Derrick. “We expect a lot out of the boys. It’s been very costly and we’ve all sacrificed our time, but it’s worth it.” “What makes it worthwhile and often, what people don’t understand is that (racing) modified is a family sport, where the whole family gets involved. The boys are on the track, I’m there, my wife is in the stands taping, grandparents come to watch, friends come to watch.” “It’s kept us together as a family and I know where my kids are every weekend and every night. I’m very proud of all three of the guys. They all eat and sleep racing-whether it’s at the track or in the shop getting ready for the track.” “We like to get out there and see all of the other drivers,” says Masen. “You’re only as good as the people you race against.” “North Dakota was great this year,” adds Masen. “On a regular night, you’d have 30 or 40 drivers there. The competition was great.” “And at the North Dakota Classic Modified tour, you’d have 80 or 90 cars each night for seven nights.” Masen says his experience racing on different tracks helped him to adapt and ultimately win, in Las Vegas. “In Vegas, we raced on a half-mile track,” he says. “I’m used to shorter tracks and I usually keep it pretty straight. One of my buddies told me :’You’ve got to be the straightest driver I’ve ever seen, but that doesn’t work here.’”

Joey Galloway, 28, is an integral part of Eagle Motorsports, and is pictured here at the team’s home track in Manor. Galloway, who hails from Emo, Ontario, placed 15th in a field of 250 drivers at Las Vegas Speedway’s Duel in the Desert, and says: “Derek (BigEagle) invited me to Manor for two weeks and it’s been seven or eight years now. As a team, we’ve had a really great year. I had nine feature wins and this year, I won the Eagle Showdown, which meant a lot to me. Derrick, Shelley, Masen and Jett treat me like family.” (Photo submitted)

“You have to be aggressive. You have to be hungry, You just have to go for it,” he says. “I’m used to picking off drivers one at a time and taking my time, but in a field of 250 drivers, you can’t.” “Instead, you just do the best you can and no matter how you do, you’ll improve, win or lose.” Jett says that the half-mile track in Las Vegas was an adjustment for him, too. “It was my first-ever time on a track that long,” he says. “My arms got really, really tired over a 25lap feature. It’s definitely not easy on the body, but you adapt.” “There are over 300 modifieds there and lots of people in the stands. I was nervous because it was a whole different racetrack,” adds Jett. “But I focus 100 percent on the racetrack.” Galloway says he is happy with both his individual season and the winning season the team from Eagle Motorsports has earned. “All three of us have so many people to thank,” says Galloway. “Derrick and Shelley, our sponsors, the people who come out to watch us, and for me, also my parents, Dan and Monika Galloway.” “To win in Vegas means we’ve raced against drivers from all over the world. We had such a great season and next year, we’d like to do just as good or better.”

Race car driver Jett BigEagle, 16, wears #01 for Manor’s Eagle Motorsports and took his car to second-place at the Young Guns Duel in the Desert at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The grade 11 student says: “Races are won in the shop as much as they’re won on the track. We all believe that and we’ve had a great season. As a team, we took home 18 trophies out of 27 nights racing.” (Photo submitted)

Manor’s Masen BigEagle, 19, took time out of his business studies at the University of Regina to take first place in the Young Guns Duel in the Desert at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday, Nov. 15. BigEagle, who “first did some laps when I was probably 11-years-old,” says, “Once you start racing, you’re hooked. But that’s nothing compared to the feeling you get when you win. You just want that feeling all the time. Obviously, it doesn’t happen all the time, but you just get out there and do the best you can.” (Photo submitted)

Christmas Tea and Sale enjoyed at Wawota Museum Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Wawota and District Museum hosted their Christmas Tea and Sale on Friday, Nov. 27, between 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. with many people coming and going, while enjoying a spot of tea. The annual event is the final of the season for the Museum, which is now closed except for by request only throughout the winter. Shirley Corkish explained that attendance was down this year, but that there has been interest in bringing school groups in to see the displays in the New Year. “We had a Kindergarten class out this fall and there’s talk about more in the spring,” Corkish said. During the Christmas Tea and Sale tickets were sold by the Museum Committee on the annual Santa Surprise, which is put together by the Museum Committee and local businesses who donate items. With two different boxes to win, Corkish explained that in years past there have been approximately $300 worth of various items in each box. And is a much looked forward to Museum fundraiser each year. Apart of The Parkland Regional Museum Network, Wawota joins Broadview, Esterhazy, Kaposvar, Kipling, Langenburg, Moosomin, Rocanville, Spy Hill, and Whitewood in a passport program where locals can tour the countryside getting their museum passports stamped and the opportunity to win a prize with all stamps collected. The passport needs to be filled between now and 2017. The Wawota and District Museum is also looking for two active members to join their committee and Corkish says that if anyone is interested that they can contact her for more information. Learning and embracing our history helps us better understand what it means to be from rural Saskatchewan, which is why it’s important to support local museums in the area.

- Moliere

Yoga as negative cultural appropriation? A bit of a stretch

When do people become too sensitive regarding cultural issues? This week at the University of Ottawa, a yoga instructor who conducted a free class for the university’s Centre for Students with Disabilities for seven years was told it was being cancelled. The students union Kelly Running sighted “cultural issues” as the Observer Staff reason for ending the class. Yoga developed in India years ago and is associated with multiple religions including Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism. This is apparently the issue which developed regarding yoga on the school campus, is it cultural appropriation? Cultural appropriation is a sociological term regarding one culture adopting elements of another culture and is seen as a negative exchange. The instructor said she doesn’t focus on the spiritual side of yoga, but explained her class could be called “mindful stretching” for that very reason. She’s focused on helping people become physically aware and to learn different stretches, including proper breathing, to help your body feel relaxed and healthy. So, is yoga a religious practice and is it offensive for people to simply teach the “mindful stretching” aspect if they are not associated with one of the religions yoga developed within? To me it seems that it is a stretch to say yoga has cultural issues surrounding it because of the fact it is just stretching. Lots of people stretch, we have a stretching routine I do with the Vipers which someone once referred to as yoga, because we use some of the same stretches. We use a similar breathing pattern to yoga as well, however, that type of breathing in fact while stretching has proven to improve your stretching. It’s also a relaxation technique people with anxiety are told to use: breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, breathe out longer than you breathe in. To many people yoga is what I was going through with the girls, simply stretching. Yoga, however, has numerous poses and moves people utilize. By calling it yoga people are actually acknowledging that it is a practice developed elsewhere and is giving credit to that practice. I don’t really see how it is a “cultural issue.” No one is suffering through the use of yoga and no one experiencing racism or anything along those lines either. Yoga is associated with at least three religions in the world, religions that promote peace and unity, so can it not be used as a non-religious practice? Is yoga not something which aligns more with spirituality or to simply relaxing and keeping healthy? Did it even start out as a religious practice or was it adopted by the religions it’s now associated with? It’s a very old practice and the best form of flattery is imitation, so the Western world wanting to embrace yoga is actually a good thing, is it not? We know that it grew from practices in India and that it’s associated with spirituality, we don’t attempt to downplay that, but we simply use it for a different aspect. For the people who are claiming to be spiritual leaders as well as yoga instructors, there might be an issue there, but as for simply utilizing yoga poses and breathing, I don’t personally see any issues. People and cultures share things, it’s a small world and we pick and choose things that we like from amongst our own culture and from other cultures. It happens and it’s not always a bad thing.

What are we saying? The conversation rolls around each year at this time: should people working in the service sector be allowed to wish their customers a Merry Christmas, or should it be a more generic Happy Holidays? The phrase has been in use since at least 1534 but its continuance is divisive. Issues of religious liberty and pluralism get discussed as people seek to find the Shelley Luedtke appropriate spot on the political correctness spectrum. There’s another way to look at it. Not everyone celebrates Christmas of course, but for those that do, we can’t get too uptight about those unwilling to say the phrase if we’re not willing to live the phrase. If our celebration is supposed to be joyous in spirit, happy and festive; as our use of the phrase ‘merry’ would suggest; we need to set our focus on where that joy originates and the impact it can have on our hearts and lives. We have, instead, placed such tremendous emphasis on the externals that we have attached to the season, it’s easy to find ourselves exchanging merry for mayhem. In doing so we have taken the observance of a humble birth and turned it into a spending frenzy on which sectors of our economy rise and fall, and one that requires the skill set of a chef, interior decorator and personal shopper to pull off. But see, that’s just the thing…it doesn’t. Yet in order to create this kind of celebration people run themselves ragged, are tempted to overspend, and seek ways to cope with the pressures that come from unrealistic expectations. Where is the merriment in that? Since this is seen as the season of giving, let’s consider the kind of gifts that could flip this around. Think of them as gifts we can give ourselves that could change how we approach this month. Embrace the gift of time. How is that possible in a month that is so busy and one in which we find ourselves with so much to do and take

in? It’s straightforward, actually. Shorten the list. Not every decoration needs to be hung. Not every favourite needs to be baked. Relinquish some of the tasks that have begun to feel like obligations and give yourself some time; time to enjoy watching the beauty of a snowfall, time to curl up under a blanket and read; time to watch a favourite movie without feeling any guilt over “not getting anything done.” Embrace the gift of patience. Tension levels rise this time of year as the perceived need to create the picture perfect celebration and appear the picture perfect family causes stresses and strains. As the pressures build--patience suffers. So set aside those notions and be more patient with yourself…and others. Embrace the gift of people. Invite someone to have coffee with you. Send a note to someone who would not expect it. Drop off a token of appreciation to an individual or group who has done something special for you or your community. Instead of giving more things to the people in our lives who already have so much, give a little extra to a charity that is working hard to give to families who have so little. If we were to do these types of things we are getting a bit closer to the gift of a ‘merry’ Christmas--but there’s one more step, an important step, to take. Embrace the gift of peace. Hard to imagine as we take a look around today. Yet the birth of the baby that night in Bethlehem was announced by angels who declared, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Peace on earth. It begins…or ends…with how each of us treats and responds to the individuals we share this planet with. Consider for a moment what this month could feel like if we sought the holiness of the season, exchanged the rush for relationships, gave more to those with less, and focussed on peace, good will to all. What a celebration that could be. If we want to wish someone a Merry Christmas, let’s ensure we make it just that. That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

Snow: a pleasant part of winter Kelly Running

Pro no-snow Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Snow. In Canada we embrace it, I know I’d rather have snow than a -40 day without windchill... even colder with. There are numerous things the snow enables us to enjoy. There’s something about having snow during the holiday season that just seems right. I was in Australia once for Christmas and besides missing my immediate family, I missed snow. Surprising I know, but I had been in Australia since September and it was heading into their summer, which just seems odd, Christmas in the summer. I missed the snow falling, iced over windows of home while sitting inside with a cup of hot chocolate or tea, lights sparkling off the ice and snow. There’s something beautiful about that scenario, which isn’t complete without the winter wonderland that includes the snow. Snow brings with it a lot of fun as well. Yes shovelling a walkway, driveway, deck, or other isn’t fun and scraping my windshield in the morning is less than desirable, but the fluffy white stuff is at least easily brushed away. The fun I’m talking about is snow shoeing, cross country skiing, downhill skiing/snowboarding, and tobogganing. These are all fun winter activities which we couldn’t do without snow. When I was little, with fresh snow, my sister and I would go out and play tag. I can’t remember the name of what our mom called it now, but you’d shuffle through making a circle and then various pathways throughout the circle. You had to stay on the path when playing and if you stepped off you became “it.” I was “it” a lot, my sister was threeyears-older so was quite a bit faster than me. Our dog would join in the frolicking as well and as she’d tear about the front yard the path would disappear. Snowmobiling is another fun winter activity which would definitely lose it’s appeal without snow. Zipping to and fro, climbing large hills, and the thrill of coming down those hills, or speeding up a hill with an overhang to which you fly through snow all around you. It was quite a bit of fun heading out with dad after a fresh snowfall. During elementary school and high school, a dump of snow was also welcomed in the night as we lived a half an hour from town. If the bus couldn’t make it down the road then we got a snow day out of the deal and even though that usually came with some household chores and helping collect wood to bring in for our fireplace downstairs, it was a welcomed change to going to school, even though I quite liked school. Even in university my friends and I would make the most of the snow. We bought crazy carpets and would head off to a place the locals called the sugar bowl during the day, the young kids who frequented the area were off at school, so we got to enjoy the place to ourselves, zipping down the runs the kids had made, jumps included. It was a great way to spend a bit of time and an easy way to take a break from worrying about school, which was our main concern. Snow therefore became a welcomed sight even in university. Besides all of the fun things snow does, snow was always welcomed in the winter with the hope that it would melt slowly in the spring; that the runoff would manage to seep into the ground to make for perfect spring seeding. Although the runoff was never perfect, there were always worries those years we didn’t have any snow that the soil would be dry and our crops might not be the fullest. So, snow is good. It comes with all kinds of fun outdoor activities and provides an essential piece to the prairie environment.

Editor’s Note . . .

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

As I write this, the sun is shining, the temperature is on the warm side of seasonal, but best of all, there is no snow! When Kelly and I were divvying up this week’s debate, I was a tad tempted to take the pro-snow side, just because it would make a snappy headine....However, after my impassioned defence of the benefits of winter tires in this space a few weeks ago, I realized I would: 1) Fool no one and 2) Not be able to to put forth a convincing argument in favour of the white stuff, anyway, as my heart just isn’t in it. Besides the benefits that a dry winter gives to those who must interact with moi-as my seasonal moaning and groaning and complaining and whining is drastically decreased-it is wonderful not to have to shovel snow, plough snow, drive in snow, walk in snow and otherwise have to deal with it. Life is much simpler, and although getting dressed for the day still means bundling up to stay warm, it’s a lot less complicated when there’s no snow. I realize it’s tough to give up the thrill of uncertainty: not knowing if you’ll reach your driving des-

tination on time (or intact), or whether your flight will proceed as planned, or even whether your walk home from work or school will result in cold, wet extremities if you happen to fall into a pile of the white stuff, but c’mon.... Some people say that it doesn’t seem like Christmas without snow and request at minimum a decorative cosmetic dusting on their windows and trees. Well, there are products that will perfectly replicate that seasonal scenario: May I suggest snow in a spray can and pine-scented candles? And these work especially well if you decide to take full advantage of the snowless season (I can dream, can’t I?), as you check your Christmas bird on the barbeque. As I was rejoicing in our unseasonal seasonal weather, a guy in town told me he wanted to snowmobile, and was getting anxious that this winter was not only turning into a snowless season, but a sledless one, too. Unfortunately, for me, I think he can relax. Time is on his side, as the seasonal odds are that we will eventually get some snow in these parts and it will stick around for a while. Until then, excuse me while I enjoy being pro no snow... and that’s a pretty catchy headline, too.

10Big 6 Hockey underway

Last year the Wawota Flyers made it into the final playoff round narrowly losing to the Bienfait Coalers.

The Big 6 Hockey League is well underway having begun at the beginning of November. The competitive senior men’s league has been a staple in the southeast since the 1959/60 season when in December of ’59 the Soo Line Hockey League needed new life. A meeting was held in Oxbow that year and the Bienfait Coalers, Frobisher Flyers, Glen Ewen Eagles, and Oxbow Aces came together. Teams have since come and gone from the league and there are currently seven teams participating. This year the Redvers Rockets, Wawota Flyers, Oxbow Huskies, Arcola/Kisbey Combines, Bienfait Coalers, Midale Mustangs, and Carnduff Red Devils will be vying for The Lincoln Trophy, which is the original championship trophy still used today. Last year the Wawota Flyers gave the Bienfait Coalers a good battle in the final round, but Bienfait earned the trophy, clenching the top spot in the Big 6 for the fifth year in a row. This year teams are determined to stop the Coalers from reaching a sixth year in a row with the trophy. In total, the Coalers have won the league 15 times, which is the most out of any of the teams since the Big 6 began. The Redvers Rockets have moved to the top of the list this year with three wins, two losses, and one overtime loss, which has earned them seven points so far this season. The Flyers are following in second with three wins and one loss earning them six points. Tied with them are the Arcola/Kisbey Combines with three wins and two losses and the Bienfait Coalers with three wins and three losses.

The Oxbow Huskies trail them with two wins and two losses. The Midale Mustangs and Carnduff Red Devils each have two points with one win. The Mustangs have two losses and the Red Devils three. Top Scorers include Tayler Balog of Arcola with seven goals and five assists; tied for second are Brennan Wrigley of Bienfait with five goals and six assists and Troy Miller of Arcola with five goals and six assists; Justin Lamontagne of Wawota follows with six goals and four assists; while Brady Fidierchuk of Redvers and with six goals and three assists, Dakota Rose of Redvers with six goals and three assists, and Payden Benning of Bienfait with one goal and eight assists are tied at nine points each; all tied at seven points are Mark Moriarty of Carnduff with five goals and two assist, Keegan Malaryk of Bienfait and Brent Struble of Wawota each of four goals and three assists, as well as Brendon Vertefeuille of Arcola with four goals and three assists. The three top goalies so far include Rhett Freistadt of Redvers and Adam Jordan of Wawota each with three wins and one loss with a Goals Allowed Average (GAA) of 3.25. They are followed closely by Shane Marsh of Midale with one win, two losses, and a GAA of 3.67. The next action for local teams includes Arcola at Oxbow on Friday, Dec. 4, Redvers at Wawota and Midale at Carnduff on Dec. 5.

rlyleobserver.com Darren Simons Sports Contributor The Carlyle Pee Wee team had two games over the past weekend. They lost seven to one against Carnduff in the first game with Hayden McArthur getting our only goal while on a rush. The second game on Sunday, ……..well, they may have gone into this game against Redvers thinking it would be an easier game than their game on Saturday. That is just a guess, being the team did not play as well during the second game and they gave up almost as many goals in the third as they gave up in the first two periods. The defence had to fight and defend hard and the forwards had some good rushes and offence, however, there just was not the connection between the defence and forwards that was needed. This lead to several breakdowns, which resulted in the puck being in our end for a good portion of both games. Both games had Logan Romaniuk stopping so many shots the coach stated if he stopped much more rubber he would turn into “Gumby” Unfortunately this effort at motivation was met by confused looks being the players had never heard of “Gumby” The teams are looking forward to their upcoming tournament on Dec. 5 & 6 and hope that everyone has a “Dickens” of a weekend and can find time to come out and support the team.

Parenting Tips from Regional KidsFirst Arts enhance our daily lives. Activities such as dance, drama, drawing, and sculpting can provide children with an artistic outlet. Such activities allow children to express how they feel, think, or imagine! Encouraging artistic outlets is important to a child’s development. It allows children to explore cultural and individual identity. It allows children to develop their own thoughts, opinions and feelings. Being artistic with your child will help promote language, social and intellectual development. It encourages your child to interpret and think about their own world. Help your child get involved in the arts. This could mean taking them to a child based photography class. This may mean simply providing them some markers and paper to draw, scribble, and create. You can take this time to also teach your child numbers, colours, letters, shapes, and objects. Allow your child to pursue their artistic interests. Singing and dancing will help develop your child’s sense of rhythm, melody, harmony, and

timing. Encourage dramatic play by providing dress up clothes and diﬀerent scenes to act out. A

great family game would be Charades. It is important to encourage your child’s attempts for success.

“operation redneck”

a fundraiser for stoughton pool Photos by Kelly Running

Laughter erupted as Jacob (Trevor Elliott) arrived wearing his clever eco-friendly T-shirt.

Pa (Scott Richardson) is amazed that Jacob (Trevor Elliott) knows which unit his Civil War uniform is from. Beth (Lauren Creighton) is unimpressed as Pa (Scott Richardson), Julie’s (Victoria Fraser) father, makes an advance. Pa, wearing his Civil War reinactment uniform, because he was waiting on Julie to do his laundry.

Tina (Dee Lyke) and JJ (Aaron Walbaum) converse with Beth (Lauren Creighton). In JJ’s words, “A picture is worth a dozen words.”

The Stoughton Swimming Pool hosted a dinner theatre fundraiser on Nov. 20 and 21, as well as Nov. 27 and 28. Here Tina (Dee Lyke) and JJ (Aaron Walbaum) listen to the action, while JJ enjoys the taxidermy.

Beth (Lauren Creighton) and Tina (Dee Lyke) call Jacob to let him know what he’s getting himself into by coming to visit Julie.

Tina (Dee Lyke) and Beth (Lauren Creighton) pose as Julie’s grandparents to take Jacob through a test run before meeting Pa, Julie’s father.

had a choice of two plays (which had been chosen by the reading committee) one was a western and the other was a murder mystery. After much discussion by those in attendance – it was finally decided that they would do the Samuel French murder mystery “A Party to Murder” by Marcia Kash and Douglas Hughes, at this year’s production as the number of cast was low. They only needed six members where the western one needed 14 members. With just the small turnout at the meeting they thought they’d shelf the western play for next year and see if more interested people could be found – surely more would come forward. Come on folks – WE NEED YOU – please COME OUT and get INVOLVED. It’s a lot of fun and there are lots of different types of jobs that need to be filled. Their NEXT MEETING date is DECEMBER 8 – hope we see you there. Can you believe it? It’s time to say goodbye to November and Hello

Shelly Cowan and daughter Ainsley attended Thanksgiving celebrations in Minot with the Nilsen family on Thursday, November 26 and returned home on Friday. Here’s hoping that all our American friends had and enjoyed a Happy Thanksgiving Day on the 26th. Attending Redvers Drama “Stand and Deliver” on Friday, November 27 from Alida were Tim and Shelly Cowan, Margaret and Brian Peet and Gray and Edel. We enjoyed the evening and especially the desserts, they were very delicious – good job done by the Redvers Early Learning & Child Care group. On Tuesday, November 23 the Alida Drama club, Act One Productions, held their ﬁrst meeting of the season. They

to December – where does the time go? I’ll now send birthday greetings to those who will be celebrating their birthday in December – Happy Birthday to you! I will also send out special greetings to those who will be celebrating their anniversary – Happy Anniversary folks! May you all have many more to come! Also hang on to your hats – but there are only 3 weeks (about 24 shopping days) left until Christmas – SCARY – and of course this also means only about 2 weeks (18 days) of school and it will be Christmas Holidays. Guess now I’ll feel more like getting my decorations out – up and lit. It’ll soon be the Holiday Season with Christmas parties and celebrations in full swing. Remember to keep me posted with your all of your news – call me (306-443-2496), or text (306-485-8561) or e-mail (g.cowan@ sasktel.net) – I really do appreciate it.

Sandra Emily Wilson Sandra Emily Wilson of Redvers, SK passed away on November 18, 2015 at the age of 54. Sandra leaves to cherish her memory, her spouse Kelvin Rutten & her four children Darren & Chelsey Brooks (Cooper), Greg & Lindsay Wilson (Gage, Isla, Grayson), Corey Wilson & Brittney Wilson (Marty). Sandra is survived by her mother, Myrtle Loeppky and predeceased by her father Norm Loeppky and first husband, Garth Wilson. Sandra was born on January 13, 1961 in Swan River, MB. She resided in a few places prior to settling down in Wawota, SK. Sandra made many memories during her time in Wawota. In 1987, she moved out to the farm and opened her own private care home. Sandra was a selfless person and always gave 100% to help others. This compassion was not only shown in the care home, but in the way she raised all 4 of her children. In 2000, Sandra and her children moved to Redvers, SK where she started work at Redvers Activity Center and the local restaurants. Sandra quickly built friendships through her spunky personality. Those who knew her loved her genuine personality, her “call it like it is” approach to life and how she always stood up for what she believed in. The main joys in Sandra’s life were her spouse, Kelvin Rutten, her children and grandchildren, and the residents that she worked with at the group homes. Sandra had a large extended family but held close relationships with a few of her brothers and sisters; Arnie & Janice Stadnick (Kendyll & Taylor), Dexter Gretchen & Patty Whitehead, Ian & Monica Gretchen (Steele & Yari), and Pat & Terry Schullman (TJ, Tyler & Erin). Throughout the years, Sandra made many special memories. A Celebration of Life was held on Saturday, November 28 at the Royal Canadian Legion in Redvers, SK from 2 - 4pm. Interment will be held at a later date. Donations in memory of Sandra can be made to Arcola Health Center and the Redvers Activity Center.

NEWS

Friday, December 4, 2015

From the Lions Den Carlyle District Lions celebrated the 52nd Anniversary of their Charter on November 17th, 2015 with a delicious supper catered by Ryan and Cindy Weir. The guest speaker was District Governor Eunice Cameron of the Regina Beach Lions. Lion Al Sullivan of the Bethune Lions also attended. We had other guests – 5 Lions and 2 guests from the Stoughton Lions Club plus 1 Lion and 1 guest from the Lampman Lions Club. DG Eunice spoke of her goals to see that the 17 people in Saskatchewan waiting for dog guides get them and to work with the Department of Education to get the Quest program again established in our schools to train teachers chow to build students’ self respect so that behaviors like bullying are lessened. She says, “it worked before and it will work again”. The highlight of the evening were the presentation of Awards. Lion Keith Walker and Lion Dennis Feduk both received Lions Clubs International Melvin Jones Awards for their work in Lionism. Although a vacation kept Lion Jean Ebbes from the event she has received the Harry A. Newman Award from the Canadian Diabetes Association. Lion Norm Riddell earned a 35 year Chevron and Lions Kent and Myrla Holland earned their 10 year Chevrons. Service to the community in November included the delivery of Meals on Wheels; the laying of a wreath at the Remembrance Day service and hosting the Birthday/Anniversary Party for the month at Moose Mountain Lodge. Lion Lorri Matthewson sang several songs which were enjoyed by the residents, as was the cake and visiting that followed. For December there are our famous baked potatoes on the street at the Dickens’ Village Festival plus a ﬂoat for the light parade. We will donate 10 turkeys to the Food Bank for Christmas Hampers and hold our annual Lions Family Christmas Party. Plans are beginning for our 25th Supper and Auction in March. 25 years deserves special consideration and we have a committee hard at work to make it so. We look forward to continued support from from local businesses and individuals to make it a success again.

members of the La Rose families met at the Mother Theresa Centre at Kenosee Lake to celebrate an early Christmas. They had gift exchanges, lots of food and the everpopular tea party with Joan Wilson in charge. Four more bus loads of out of town women arrived in Wawota on Nov. 20 and 21. They not only enjoyed the shopping but commented on our town’s image! The Communities in Bloom’s inﬂuence is a long lasting one. Sympathy to the family and friends of the late Shirley Mowbray who with her husband Jack lived in Wawota several years ago. Jack had a backhoe and trenching business. Shirley’s funeral service was held at the Glenavon United Church on Friday,

Nov. 27. Shirley passed away on the preceding weekend at the age of 79 years. Several family members travelled to Regina throughout last week to visit with Joan (Olson) Forbes. Joan and her partner, Fred Steel of Kelowna were in Regina as Fred was representing the Ambrosia Apple Growers of B.C. at Agribition. Joan had not been to Saskatchewan in 7 years. Last weekend, Carey Lamoureaux, Jack and Will and Keith Olson visited, on Thursday, Darren and Kathy Olson visited and on Friday, Keith and Myrna Olson and Susan Davidson visited. On Nov. 22 the Wawota United Church was witness to special events. At the morning service, Evan Cameron son of

Cameron Skulmoski and Rae Lamontagne was baptized. Baptism is always a moving experience and is one of faith and promise. The evening of Nov. 22 saw the dedication of our new sanctuary and church hall. After 7-8 years since the idea of needing a Community Centre that was wheel chair was discussed it ﬁnally became a reality. There were many ups and downs but with faith and perseverance we now have a new sanctuary and a hall converted from the former sanctuary. With so many of the smaller churches closing we feel doubly blessed at having such a building at our disposal.( If you want to read more about it, Connie Schwalm did a excellent write-up in the Kipling Citizen last week).
