Members of Carlyle’s Dickens Committee are “prepping the parks in the hopes of a June 1` completion date,” according to Dickens chair, Shelly Slykhuis.

Volunteers Slykhuis, her husband David, along with Dale and Larry Brady, moved the first of six wrought iron benches to the sites of what will be two small Victorian parks on Carlyle’s Main Street.

“This is the next step after the lanterns,” says Slykhuis. “Jason Humphries kindly let us use an area of land north of the optometrists’ office.

The second site will be between the Civic Centre and The Capstone restaurant.”

“We’re planning benches, lanterns, and greenery,” she says. “We’re hoping to have everything finished by June 1 at the latest, and we’re looking for sponsors for each of the six benches.”

“They will be two nice spots that will enhance our Main Street and continue with the theme of Dickens.”

Big Bike coming to Carlyle June 9 THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: SAGITTARIUS, CAPRICORN AND AQUARIUS.

Week of May 24 to 30, 2015 ARIES Your week starts with the discovery that you have a mountain of work to do. However, the work gives you a sense of security that helps you see things in a more positive light.

TAURUS A rather special event may take you out of your comfort zone. This helps you outdo yourself in realizing a brilliant achievement.

GEMINI There’s no need to go far to find perfect happiness. Home and family are your reason for living these days, so don’t hesitate to gather all your loved ones together over a good meal.

CANCER You’re seen as a person with a lot of punch. You’re able to make the necessary changes when a situation no longer suits you.

LEO You’re a fundamentally passionate person, so you need a constant emotional connection with your lover, even if you’re both very independent people.

VIRGO Action is your trademark; nobody could ever describe you as all talk, no action. If you’re moving in the near future, you start packing boxes.

LIBRA You don’t let yourself be discouraged easily, despite an accumulation of fatigue and lack of energy.

You take drastic steps to regain your vigour.

The Bear Claw Casino and Hotel is bringing the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike to Carlyle.

On Tuesday, June 9, the Bear Claw Casino and Hotel Volunteers will be riding out and collecting pledges for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, while they will also be hosting a BBQ in the parking lot beside Ron’s Work Wear House between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Meals at the BBQ include either a hamburger and pop or a hot dog and pop with all proceeds and pledges from the day going to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation. The Bear Claw has also made a fun $10 for $10 deal. With a minimum pledge of $10, you’ll receive a $10 free slot play at the casino.

So what exactly is a Big Bike? It’s a large red unit with 30 seats that has been used to fundraise for the Heart and Stroke Foundation for the last 22 years. The bike makes a two kilometre trek which takes approximately 20

Last year the Heart and Stroke Foundation visited 200 communities from coast to coast, while raising over $8 million for research by over 70,000 riders.

Stop by on June 9 to see the Big Bike and to help the Bear Claw Casino and Hotel raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

In Canada it is reported that every seven minutes someone dies from either a heart attack or a stroke according to the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s website.

Additionally heart disease and strokes are actually two of the three leading causes of death in Canada, making it extremely important to promote a healthy and active lifestyle.

The risk factors in Canadians are also very high with nine out of 10 Canadians having at least one of these risk factors: smoking, alcohol, physical inactivity, obesity, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and diabetes.

Stoughton recently celebrated the ribbon cutting of the new housing development, Taylor Park Estates, by Bridge Road Construction on Wednesday, May 13, where nearly 30 people attended to celebrate the grand opening complete with draws, refreshments, snacks, and tours of the building.

The building, a four-story, 18 suite development is set up with the parkade on the first floor. Concerns over a basement parkade were discussed and so the first floor was converted into the garage which is fully heated including floor heat.

Above this the second through fourth floors consist of one and two bedroom suites aimed at people 50-years or older.

Included in Taylor Park Estates is a common room with full kitchen to be used by those living in the building for cards and coee, but to also be available to be booked by residents for larger gatherings such as a birthday party or anniversary with family and friends.

Found just o of the common room is a guest suite if family or friends are staying over which is available for $50 a night.

The setup facilitates the convenience of condo living without the responsibility of ownership. This means tenants sign a one-year lease based on the unit’s square footage, rent then covers everything except for utilities like internet and telephone.

Suites also include a fridge, oven, and dishwasher. Corner suites have wrap around decks, but each unit has their own private deck with natural gas hook ups ready. Central air and heating are adjusted by each suite.

With nine foot ceilings they are spacious and bright thanks to the oversized windows which allow in more light than regular windows.

Of the 18 suites in Taylor Park Estates, nine units are still available to rent.

The other nine began being occupied in mid to late August according to Bridge Road Construction rep Susan Yakabowich.

Mayor of Stoughton, Bill Knous, said at the ribbon cutting, “Congratulations to Bridge Road Developments and to the shareholders on this building complex. It’s great and something we in Stoughton needed.�

Also saying a few quick words was Lyle Hall, the Shareholder President of Taylor Park Estates, who thanked the Town of Stoughton for their support. He also thanked Bridge Road Construction for partnering with them, the tenants who have been behind the project from the start, and the investors who were responsible for bringing the facility to Stoughton.

Happy to be there, Sjoerd Huese, Vice President of Bridge Road Construction, also said a few words: “Thank you for bringing us into your community. We like to help people stay living in their communities for as long as possible to be amongst their friends and family.�

5 INGFKFOCUS Arts Gala bids

Observer

bittersweet farewell to founder

During her two-year tenure at the helm of the annual G.F. Kells Arts Gala, arts education teacher Carly Broberg has made the event a must-see for anyone who wants to check out what she calls “the amazing young talent in our community,” and a must-do for her students. However, the second annual celebration was bittersweet, as Broberg preapated prepared to bid farewell to GFK to take up a teaching position in Maidstone, Sask.

“We have incredibly talented kids here at his school,” says Broberg. “The Arts Gala not only allows us to raise funds for the arts programs here at the school; it also gives our students an opportunity to showcase their talents and work to the community.”

“Last year, our ¿rst Arts Gala was a Paristhemed event and this year, our theme was ‘Vintage Hollywood.’ We made $1,000 last year, and that money allowed us to purchase equipment for the art room and lots of acrylic paint and canvases.”

“But what that money really bought was peace of mind,” Broberg continues. “An abundance of art supplies meant that students could continue to paint at home, even if they’d ¿nished their semester.

Those extra supplies mean that they can continue to carry on painting.”

Although Broberg is leaving at the end of this school year to take a teaching position in Maidstone, Sask., nearer to her family in Alberta, stă and students say her impact has already made a lasting impression.

Gordon F. Kells High School arts education teacher Carly Broberg is surrounded by some of her grateful students after a second successful Arts Gala hosted by the school, Thursday, May 14 in Carlyle. Broberg will be leaving at the end of this school year to teach grade five in Maidstone, Sask. “Her passion for the arts at GFK will be missed by all of us,” says Principal Maurice Saltel.

GFK students Jeannette and Julyco Opena demonstrated their dance moves at the second annual student “Vintage Hollywood”-themed Arts Gala at Carlyle’s Gordon F. Kells High School, Thursday, May 14. The sister and brother dance duo were among students from grades seven to 12, who demonstrated their talents in the areas of dance, drama, music, art, sewing, culinary arts, and charitable fundraising.

Student dancers Julyco and Jeannette Opena say that the opportunity to dance in fromt of an audience at this year’s Arts Gala was “awesome.”

Drama student Marissa Owen agrees. “It’s nice to showcase our art. Usually it’s mostly sports and other extracurriculars are the things that get the most attention. To have an gala like this, where everything is all about the arts is great. It’s our show.”

The evening featured culinary and sewing projects, paintings, drawings, and a talent show.

Performances were from singers Daysha Smith, Jillian Heitanen, Megan and Jenna McAuley, Marissa Owens and Bryanne Forcier- with Lee-Amber Laderoute on piano; as well as from solo pianists Halle Doty and Breanna Kehler, and dancers Julyco and Jeannette Opena.

“I’m overwhelmed by all of the kids’ work,” says home economics instructor, Lynda Biberdorf. “This is the ¿rst year that my sewing students have displayed their work, and we opened it up from grades seven to 12. They did a great job putting together what is a beautiful gallery of their work.”

“I’m really overwhelmed overwhemed and happy,” adds Biberdorf. “It’s the ¿rst time we’ve done this and some of the things the kids brought back to display were actually presents they’d made and they brought them back or borrowed them back to display. They are proud of their work, and they should be.”

In addition to supporting GFK’s arts program, the evening also raised charitable awareness for two other worthy causes. Members of SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) were in attendance making mocktails (non-alcoholic cocktails) and grade 10 student Kiri Biberdorf manned a display and was on hand to answer questions about her April 2015 trip to Tanzania with “Me to We/Free the Children.”

Although the ¿nal amount of cashed raised was not available at press time, Broberg says the event was a success. “Thanks to our generous sponsors from the community, we are able to hold this event.

And thanks to everyone who came out to see the kids’ work, it’s a success in that respect.”

“We have some amazing talent in this school.

People that I work with do so much with the kids, and the kids themselves...Well, it’s just an amazing school. I’m just extremely happy.”

GFK principal Maurice Saltel says,” On behalf of the stă of the school, the kids in the school, the town of Carlyle, we all appreciate Ms. Broberg sharing her passion for the arts with us all.”

“She has done so much for us all the past couple of years,” says student Halle Doty.“II know all of us owe a huge thanks to Ms. Broberg. We’re really sad to say goodbye to her.”

Two of the main features of the Bridge Road Estates suites are large windows and a deck in each suite with natural gas hook up ready for a BBQ.

Facilitating transitions King’s Department Store and Michael’s Coffee Shop and Bakery in Carlyle, SK, present Art and Illusion featuring Keith Kitchen and Derek Selinger at Carlyle Memorial Hall on Friday, May 22, at 7 p.m. as a fundraiser for two local students, Grace Smyth and Breanna Kehler, planning missions to assist victims of trafficking and sexual violence around the world. Tickets are available at King’s or Michael’s in Carlyle.

Grace is going to be embarking on a four month mission trip where she will work with Street Invaders in the Philippines working primarily with kids, helping with feeding programs, prison ministry, and working in orphanages.

From here she will take part in a mission with Hope for Her International. She will travel through Thailand, India, and Nepal with women and girls who have been victims of sexual violence against women. Grace will then return to the Philipines for a couple more weeks to help with Street Invaders again.

Breanna has a five month mission planned through Youth With a Mission (YWAM). Through YWAM she will be focused on the program, Abolitionist Human Trafficking Discipleship Training School. She will begin with three months in Las Vegas for training where they will perform outreaches in the area as well as in Mexico to people at risk. After training she will leave for an overseas mission for two months. Though she doesn’t know where her overseas mission will take her yet, she explained that currently there are people in Thailand and Cambodia, while India and Nepal are also often visited by the program.

Breanna Kehler and Grace Smyth, grade 12 students, are each fundraising for separate missions they will be taking part in. To help with fundraising efforts, King’s Department Store (where Grace works) and Michael’s Coffee Shop and Bakery (where Breanna works) are bringing the show Art and Illusion to Carlyle on Friday, May 22, with all funds raised going towards Breanna and Grace’s efforts.

“Having people aware of what we’re doing, supporting us, and just thinking of us while we’re gone is nice,” Grace said. “Oftentimes missions are romanticized, you’re a good person going to do good, but it’s actually really challenging over there, being completely immersed in a different culture, so having people back home supporting us and thinking of us is a big thing.”

Art and Illusion: A fun and entertaining evening of music and magic bringing together Keith Kitchen and Derek Selinger.

Kitchen is a musician from Swift Current, SK who regularly travels across the country performing. He has three studio albums and in 2013 took home the Folk/Roots Song of the Year through Covenant Awards.

Selinger is an illusionist who has travelled around the world including Las Vegas, New York, Paris, and Malaysia. He has won six international awards and has been featured on Discovery, Fox News, CTV, and Global TV.

Town of Carlyle’s single-stream recycling program starts June 4 up, too. That’s mainly because if it’s a windy day, the last thing we want is a bunch of loose paper or plastic blowing out onto people’s streets.”

Other than these exceptions, recyclables are to be put in the cart loose, says Baniulis. “Glass bottles, paper, plastics numbered from one to seven, it all goes in together. It’s then processed in Bienfait and sent on to Saskatoon.”

Baniulis says Regnens aims to provide residents with increasing ease of use, as changes are made to the recycling program.

by Lynne Bell Observer Staff

Launch day for the Town of Carlyle’s switch to single-stream recycling is Thursday, June 4; and residents are asked to have both of their existing (green and blue) recycling carts set out on Thursday, May 21, so that Regens Disposal can exchange them for a single cart.

“Our first pickup under the new system is June 4,” says Logan Baniulis of Regens. “We’re asking that people put out their two existing recycling carts-but not their grey garbage cartout on May 21, so we can make the transition as smooth as possible.”

“I think people will really appreciate the ease of use under the single-stream system,” says Baniulis.

“They don’t have three carts cluttering up their driveway, and they only have to keep track of two carts and two pickup days.”

Baniulis says that most recyclable materials will go into the new single cart. “It all goes in loose. The exceptions Residents of Carlyle are asked to have both their are shredded paper, that existing green and blue recycling carts set out we ask be tied up in a for pickup on Thursday, May 21.

“Our first recycling program is Thursday, June 4. We’re keeping Thursday as our recycling pickup day in Carlyle. It’ll be every other week, instead of twice monthly. We hope that will make it that much easier for people to keep track.

“We’ve also introduced a reminder service. People can set it up to they receive reminders via text message, email, Twitter, or by phone. To sign up, they can either call (306)-634-7209, or by going to regensdisposal.ca.”

Quote of the Week . . .

“The person who knows ‘how’ will always have a job. The person who knows ‘why’ will always be his boss.”

- Diane Ravitch

What’s in a name?

The wait is over. The royal princess is here and we know her name. After months of speculation it was announced she would be Charlotte Elizabeth Diana; a tribute to history and a nod to the future.

I was supposed to be named Karen. That was the plan before I was born but a secondcousin beat my entrance into the world and was given that name so my parents went with a different Shelley Luedtke choice: Shelley.

There are 78,454 citizens in the U.S. with the name Shelley. I couldn’t find how many maple leaf-wearing Shelleys there might be but I am guessing not a lot since it is only the 634th most popular name in use today.

Carefully considered business names can be a powerful marketing tool for companies. There is the “Lawn & Order” property maintenance firm, the “Indiana Bones Temple of Groom” doggy daycare boutique, the “Found Sock” laundromat and the “Surelock Homes” security business. Well chosen names.

Family owned businesses may choose to attach their surname to the company moniker to provide a personal touch or establish credibility within a community. But sometimes you have to wonder if they ever asked for input on the chosen name. Consider the “Barf Bed and Breakfast”; the “Gross Food Mart” or the “Loud Funeral Home.” Then there are occasions when it was just too ironic to question, such as the law offices of “Ditcher, Quick & Hyde”; divorce attorneys in the U.S. Shakespeare famously posed the question “what’s in a name” in act 2 of Romeo and Juliet to which Juliet responds how meaningless and artificial names are. Was Shakespeare right? Do names matter?

Research over 70 years has looked at this question as it related to academic performance and job success. Findings indicated students with unusual names were given lower scores on subjective tests, income level of immigrants who changed their names was 26% higher versus those who hadn’t, and the content of creative writing assignments indicated biases and stereotypes when students were given particular character names to write stories about.

Many suggest that in fact there is absolutely no correlation between names and outcomes and that these studies indicate a problem with the methodology. Nonetheless it raises an intriguing thought.

What kind of signals, if any, do our names send?

What boon—or burden—is there if we share a name with someone famous, noteworthy, infamous or notorious? Does the reputation of a name get affected by the actions of others?

If the association is with someone who has garnered a positive reputation it likely matters little, except as a conversation starter. We’d most likely feel differently if the name has been tarnished in some manner.

Should the name of a killer be released publicly? Terrorists? Law enforcement officers under investigation? This is something news editors and journalists struggle with. What about the victims? If the perpetrators names are released, shouldn’t the victims be as well? Don’t they deserve to be more than a numerical statement? Yet printing or speaking the names opens news outlets to criticism.

I don’t like the fact I know the names of those wielding the guns in recent mass shootings yet cannot as easily recall the names of many of the victims. I know the names of ruthless dictators around the world but not the hundreds of thousands living under their corrupt regimes.

Seeing things differently . . .

Capital punishment and the common good?

by Lynne Bell Observer Staff

Once again, I am to write about and defend one of those uncomfortable topics which I’ve been lucky enough to escape thus far in my life. This week, I am to defend the necessity of capital punishment, which is currently a moot point, because in Canada, it no longer exists as a sentencing option.

Like most people, I have reservations about capital punishment. Our legal system is rooted in the fairness of common law and the Canadian constitution, but it is, of course, not perfect. Even in Saskatchewan, an innocent man served time in prison for a murder he did not commit. In the United States-where in some states capital punishment is still administered-the innocent have been wrongly convicted and have paid the ultimate price. In other cases, prisoners have suffered painful, undignified deaths instead of clean, clinicallysupervised executions as the mechanisms of legally-sanctioned death have gone terribly wrong.

While I researched this difficult question, I encountered an argument in favour of capital punishment-by-of all people- the late British author and Christian philosopher, C.S. Lewis, who, if you’re familiar with children’s lit, also wrote ‘The Chronicles of Narnia.’

Instead of calling for fire and brimstone to rain down upon the heads of unrepentant killers, Lewis thoughtfully argued in his essay, “The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment” that capital punishment was the only way to not only balance the scales of earthly and heavenly justice; but it was also necessary to preserve the dignity of humankind.

Lewis argued that if a guilty person is not punished proportionately for their crime-however heinous that offence may be-then it is they who are stripped of their human dignity. His view was that if a genuinely guilty person used a defense that stated they were anything but a free moral agent, responsible for their actions, they, along with society, were avoiding the uncomfortable task of meting out justice. That is, the murderer was actually demeaning themselves by presenting themselves as less than a thinking, intelligent human, who was capable of taking responsibility for their actions.

As a Christian, Lewis wrote: “To be punished, however severely, because we have deserved it, because we ‘ought to have known better,’ is to be treated as a human person made in God’s image.”

Paradoxically, this meant that by deeming the ultimate punishment a necessity, Lewis was not only respecting the lives of victims of murder, but also the lives of murderers.

Lewis also stated that if mercy was extended to “offenders whose guilt was certain” but was ignored by society, then the lack of appropriate punishment would eventually create “a moral travesty, which over time, helps pave the way for collapse of the entire social order.”

Or: Do we as citizens have the right to show mercy where justice is not satisfied?

Even though anyone called to jury duty here in Canada won’t have to consider the death penalty for any defendant anytime soon, we are not immune to the actions of those whose rampant disrespect for human life and dignity are both shocking and repellent. In Canada, we have our own homegrown killers, and in some parts of the world, barbarity and bloodshed are increasing at an alarming rate. Modern technology doesn’t halt murder and mayhem. Instead, it is broadcast to a massive global audience.

C.S. Lewis would have been well aware that the idea of state-sponsored execution is in direct opposition to the sixth commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.” However, by arguing that capital punishment is an appropriate and just response to some cases of murder, he is asking us to consider what justice really is, and whether capital punishment can be an essential element of that same justice.

The justice system can fail and death is final

by Kelly Running Observer Staff

It’s a debate that has surfaced time and time again, should the death penalty be a punishment available through the judicial system for heinous crimes such as first degree murder?

In Canada the death penalty was abolished in 1976, although the last execution in Canadian history occurred on Dec. 11, 1962, when two individuals were hanged for murder. During the 60s death sentences were in fact being commuted and it was tied into the Diefenbaker government enacting the Canadian Bill of Rights, which brought forth different degrees of murder within the Criminal Code distinguishing between premeditated murder to accidental death.

When Lester B. Pearson became Prime Minister and passed legislation in 1967 suspending the death penalty before it was completely eliminated under Pierre Trudeau.

The death penalty no longer suits what has become our beliefs of the penal system, which is rehabilitation and reintegration, however, the main argument against the death penalty is what I will argue here. What if the individual was wrongly convicted?

The judicial system is not perfect and if someone was wrongly convicted there is no coming back from that.

One of the most famous true stories in Canada, I remember reading about him in school, is of Steven Truscott. At the age of 14, Truscott was sentenced in 1959 to the death penalty for the rape and murder of 12-year-old Lynne Harper. Truscott was the last person to see her, two days before her body was discovered, after giving her a lift on his bicycle.

The young boy was sentenced to be hanged, after a short two-week trial, on Dec. 8, 1959, but it was postponed to Feb. 16, 1960. On Jan. 22, a mere 25 days before his death was scheduled his sentence was commuted to life in prison.

Throughout the years Truscott maintained his innocence. He was a model prisoner, released on parole in 1969 and in 1974 his parole restrictions were lifted.

Since Truscott’s death sentence was commuted he lived long enough to prove his innocence through appealing his case. Since the case in 1959

Through the Lens

was wholly circumstantial and focused on Harper’s death being within a very specific timeline implicating Truscott could have done it. In fact it was an extremely precise time that modern scientists would be hesitant to state; the pathologist in 1959 said she died between 7p.m. and 7:45p.m. Through more advanced science in the 2000s and the exhumation of Harper’s body Truscott was acquitted, with the Attorney General of Ontario apologizing to Truscott for a miscarriage of justice.

Although in the court of public opinion people are still split on the Truscott case, there are other cases which even hit closer to home. David Milgaard, 16-years-old at the time was travelling across the country with friends in 1969. He was implicated in the murder of a 20-year-old nursing student, Gail Miller, in Saskatoon.

It was Albert Cadrain, one of Milgaard’s friends that, after returning from the trip to B.C., contacted police saying Milgaard was acting strangely and had blood on his clothes the morning after Miller was killed. Lengthy interrogations brought out information from his other friends also pointing to Milgaard as the murderer.

For 23 years he maintained his innocence in prison. Although he wasn’t sentenced to the death penalty this is a case that would have put an innocent man to death. His time in prison, however, did lead to several suicide attempts as he was both physically and sexually assaulted.

However, Larry Fisher, a serial rapist living in Cadrain’s basement was the actual culprit. As Milgaard meagrely survived in jail, Fisher was in and out of the prison system for sexual assaults, rape, and attempted murder.

It wasn’t until Aug. 28, 1980, when Linda, Fisher’s ex-wife, brought forth her suspicions about Miller, something the police had already began to suspect.

In 1988 the crown entered a “stay of proceedings,” but Milgaard and his mother fought for exoneration and in 1997 DNA testing confirmed that the semen found on Miller’s clothing was that of Fisher’s, not Milgaard’s.

An innocent man who, had he been given the death sentence, would have lost his life.

In addition, the publishing of misleading information by SEIU West during the bargaining process is not conducive to a settlement being reached.

SEIU West rejected the latest offer of the Board on May 6th. The Board met on May 7th and gave its negotiating team a mandate to go back to the bargaining table to look for a fair and equitable settlement. In the meantime, SEIU employees have not been locked out and are free to return to work to provide services for students.

Sports wrap-up with Bruce Penton Curry-Kerr duo spice up the Warriors

There are two good reasons why the Golden State Warriors might win the National Basketball Association championship this year and the names are easy to confuse: One is Steph Curry; the other is Steve Kerr. If you say the two names quickly, it might sound like one and ‘1’ is where the Warriors want to finish when the NBA Finals are said and done.

For a team that missed the NBA playoffs 14 out of 16 years, it’s hard to believe that a coaching change would be made after the Warriors finally broke through and won 51 games last year. But it happened: Owner Joe Lacob dumped Mark Jackson and replaced him with Kerr, the former Bull who, in his day, was known as one of basketball’s purest shooters. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that the best shooter on this Warriors’ team is Curry, who has raised his game to the point that when basketball people talk about the small group of NBA superstars, they mention King James, Kevin Durant , Curry and perhaps James Harden. The fading Kobe Bryant is no longer in that group.

Can Curry shoot? Is curry a popular spice in India? The 27-year-old knocked in a 62-foot shot — about 15 feet beyond half-court — in the conference semi-final-clinching game against Memphis, leading Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle to tweet: “They’re calling Stephen Curry’s thirdquarter-ending three-pointer a 62-footer. Shouldn’t that count for more than three points?”

Golden State compiled the league’s best record this year, 67-15, with Curry’s Most Valuable Player season one of the reasons why. More credit goes to Kerr, who finished second to Atlanta’s Mike Budenholzer for coach of the year in his first year out of the

broadcast booth.

The Warriors needed six games to eliminate Memphis and move into the Western Conference final (for the first time since 1976) against Harden’s Houston Rockets, while Atlanta Hawks, the surprise team of the East, are taking on LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the East final.

The Kerr-Curry combination has certainly spiced things up in Oakland, where the Warriors call home (and will until their move back to San Francisco in two years).

With the Bay Area still on a high from the Giants winning the World Series last year, an NBA title for the Warriors would make the area a strong candidate to be proclaimed the pro sports capital of the world.

STARS: a medical environment Kelly Running Observer Staff

STARS Air Ambulance has kicked off the STARS Saskatchewan Lottery, their largest fundraiser, and Bonnie Monteith, Communications Lead, spoke to The Observer about the importance of the non-profit organization which saves lives.

“We are a helicopter air ambulance organization that provides specialized emergency medical care and transportation for critically ill and injured patients,” Monteith stated.

“There are two types of calls that STARS may be dispatched to: a scene call (e.g. motor vehicle incident, ATV roll over) or an inter-facility transfer call (critically ill patient that requires transport from one facility to another for care).”

STARS is a huge asset in Western Canada where Monteith says under than half of the population in the west lives in urban centres with access to immediate critical care within minutes of an incident.

“For the other half such access is measured in hours,” Monteith stated.

“That can mean the difference between life and death; full recovery or permanent damage.”

“Every day, STARS takes care of some of the sickest and most critically injured patients in Saskatchewan. While in the air, these patients receive the highest level of care available. Our service is important because: our ambulances are more than an ambulance in the air; they are a sophisticated medical environment brought directly to the patient, be it at the side of the road or at a small rural hospital. On board, a full array of medications and equipment is at the disposal of the medical crew. We can administer lifesaving drugs, defibrillate a patient’s heart, transfuse blood, or even peer inside your body using portable ultrasound technology.”

Flying in this medical environment are two pilots, a flight nurse, and a flight paramedic, while a transport physician will join the team on-scene under special circumstances. Crews are on-call for the day shift of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. or the night shift of 6 p.m. to 7 a.m.

These medical professionals respond, on average, within eight minutes of getting the call during the day and 10 minutes at night. To Carlyle, as a reference for the area, it takes them 56 minutes on average to be on-scene from the base.

STARS respond to a scene in one of two ways according to Monteith: “When a scene call comes in to 911, STARS’ Emergency Link Centre (ELC) is alerted of the call through an early automated dispatch system. The situation is then evaluated against standard criteria that determine whether or not STARS

“Less than half the population of Western Canada lives in major urban centres and has access to critical care within minutes,” Monteith says.

“For the other half such access is measured in hours. That can mean the difference between life and death; full recovery or permanent damage.”

STARS has currently launched its annual STARS Saskatchewan Lottery, it’s largest fundraiser. Between Regina and Saskatoon bases STARS Saskatchewan, a non-profit organization, requires $20 million to operate annually. should be dispatched. As well, EMS on the site of a scene call may also request STARS based on their assessment of a patient’s condition.”

A STARS transport physician is then made available to consult with the sending and receiving physicians to determine if a critically ill or injured patient should be sent via Saskatchewan Air Ambulance, ground ambulance, or STARS.

Weekly RCMP report Lynne Bell Observer Staff

The Carlyle RCMP detachment responded to 52 calls to service between Thursday, May 7 and Thursday, May 14.

Working alongside local emergency crews is essential, not only for the benefits of them stabilizing patients and responding to the incident as first responders; but, for the importance of them on the ground when STARS is coming for a patient.

“A land zone officer (most often a volunteer firefighter, RCMP, or EMS member) from or near the incident area are also contacted by the ELC,” Monteith says. “Their role is to ensure it is clear of debris and obstacles. They will advise of power lines or other possible obstructions, and report on the ground covering and wind conditions. They will then set out a marked area for the helicopter to land. A landing zone officer will then determine the direction of the wind, place his back to it and kneel with his hands raised up, facing the marked landing zone to indicate the direction of the wind. It is standard to land the helicopter going into the wind.”

STARS became operational 30 years ago, since then they have flown over 29,000 missions from bases in Calgary, Edmonton, Grand Prairie, Regina, Saskatoon, and Winnipeg.

“Since establishing operations in Saskatchewan in 2012, STARS’ Regina and Saskatoon missions have flown more than 2,200 missions across the province,” Monteith said.

Of these missions many local communities have seen STARS numerous times: Alameda – 1, Arocla – 25, Carlyle – 6, Heward – 1, Kennedy – 1, Kenosee Lake – 3, Kisbey – 2, Lampman – 5, Maryfield – 2, Redvers – 2, Stoughton – 9, Wawota – 2, and White Bear Lake – 3.

“With STARS in the air, people living in rural Saskatchewan, working in remote areas, travelling on highways, or being transported from local hospitals to major medical centres receive the best critical care in an intensive care environment.”

As a non-profit STARS relies on their government partner and individual donors, but also actively host fundraisers such as the STARS Lottery (this year’s lottery was recently launched), two evening fundraising events, yearly calendar and STARS merchandise sales, a golf tournament in Saskatoon (July 15, 2015 this year), and the generosity of communities and organizations across Saskatchewan through their dances, raffles, bake sales, and other fundraising events.

All of this is to help STARS operate, which costs approximately $10 million per base annually; so, in Saskatchewan it costs $20 million to operate the bases in Regina and Saskatoon.

bite, but spoke to the animal’s owner who agreed to keep their dogs contained.

Assault Members attended to two separate reports of assault-one from Kenosee Lake and one from the Carlyle area.

In both cases, the two complainants declined to pursue charges.

Police provided assistance regarding an individual at Moose Mountain Provincial Park who was suffering from mental health issues. In a separate incident, RCMP also assisted an individual in the Carlyle area who had mental health concerns.

Members provided assistance to the Carlyle Ambulance Service regarding an aggressive individual.

Alida News Submitted by Edel Cowan

Hope all Mothers and Grandmothers enjoyed their special day on Sunday, May 10. Happy Belated Mother’s Day ladies. And now hope that everyone enjoyed their long weekend holiday despite the miserable weather that we were having on Sunday – rain, sleet, snow flurries and of course wind, very strong wind. However Monday morning the sun was shining brightly but it was still cold, my water tub from the eave trough down pipe was frozen fairly hard, started to thaw out by noon – hope it didn’t hurt too much crop that has begun to grow.

Faye Walker left for Saskatoon May 12 where she will be attending a Retired Teacher’s Conference and while there she will visit with her family, daughter Deidra, Jeff Nichol and granddaughters Olivia, Abby, Claire and Piper over the long weekend and also help Abby celebrate a birthday.

The Belmore families (from Alberta and Mani-

toba) will be in the area on May 26 to attend a memorial service for their sister/aunt Leda Belmore (formally of Alida) at St Anthony’s RC Church in Storthoaks at 10:30 am. Also at this time following the service they will visit with friends during the fellowship luncheon.

The Bob Kyle family (Calgary and BC) will be in the area on May 30 to attend a memorial service for their parents, Bob and Ethel (formally from the Nottingham area) at Redvers United Church at 2:00 pm. Also at this time the family will visit with other relatives and friends during the fellowship luncheon.

Shelly and Ainsley Cowan accompanied Lily Carlsen on May 12 to spend a day in Minot shopping.

On May 12 Brenda Junk and Gloria Girard moved their dad, Chic Girard from the Moosomin Hospital to the Deer View Lodge in Wawota. Gloria and her mom, Dot (Redver) spent the day (May 13) visiting with him. Hope you soon be settled into and enjoy your new residence Chic.

Joyce and Jackie George (Redvers) visited for a few hours over noon on May 13 at the Cowan farm with Gray, Edel and John Cowan.

Friday, May 22, 2015 Kim/Lily Carlsen, Kelly/Trisha Schulhauser and Jason/April Junk enjoyed an evening out at the Moose Head to celebrate an upcoming birthday.

Tim, Shelly and Ainsley Cowan spent May 1718 in Minot visiting with the Nilsen family and doing some shopping.

John Cowan left Monday morning from the farm to head back to his home in Hillcrest, AB. He travelled via Redvers where he visited with Joyce and Jackie George for a couple of hours before heading out again for Alberta.

Nice to see the sun shining brightly again hopefully it will be staying around for quite some time now and warm as well as help dry things up.

It will be a while yet before the guys are back out in the field, if they can get on them, as what was left was what was the wettest and needed to dry just a bit more before one felt safe in going out on the land.

However I’m optimistic and hopeful that they’ll be able to get going again and finish up in another week or so. I haven’t gotten into my garden yet either, ground was still fairly wet so again I will have to wait for Mother Nature to dry it up. It’s been too cold yet anyway (at least that’s what I’m saying and sticking to it – ha). The grass can surely grow and keep one busy with the lawnmower.

Hope you remembered about the Rabies Clinic in your area – the clinic was in Alida on Saturday, May 16 for an hour and despite the weather everyone seemed to have remembered the time as the turnout was good and kept the clinic personnel busy.

Once again please remember to give me a call (306443-2496) or e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel.net) with your news. I do appreciate your input. Until next time – Think positive – Keep smiling – Drive safely and Take care.

Sun Country Health Region partners with community to address Wawota doctor shortage Sun Country Health Region (SCHR) and the community of Wawota and area are pleased to announce a solution has been found for the doctor shortage in Wawota and area.

As of May 15, doctors practicing in Arcola will travel to Wawota for two days each week to see patients and make rounds at the long term care centre in Wawota. The practice will begin with two doctors and eventually may expand to a rotation of four. They will work out of the current clinic located in the Wawota Health Centre on Monday and Friday.

Managing Your Money

Claiming medical expense tax credits

You undoubtedly already know that medical expenses can be claimed as a medical expense credit on your tax return – but, like many Canadians, you may be somewhat fuzzy about exactly what and how much can be claimed and how to go about making your claim. So here’s a primer to help ensure you get the most from your medical expense credit.

You can claim … eligible medical expenses incurred by yourself, your spouse or common-law partner as well you or your spouse/common-law partner’s children who are under 18 at the end of the year. You may also be able to claim eligible medical expenses incurred for a family member dependent on you for support (other dependents).

Eligible medical expenses include … fees paid for prescription medicines, fees paid to medical professionals or a public licensed private hospital for medical or dental services, costs incurred for attendant care or certain types of facilities including nursing homes, and certain other expenses. Be aware that who is considered a medical professional varies by province – so check the Canada Revenue website (http://www.cra-arc. gc.ca/medical/).

Ineligible expenses include … athletic or fitness club fees, non-prescription drugs, vitamins, personal response system charges, health plan premiums not included in income, and medical expenses for which you were reimbursed.

The amount of your claim will be … eligible medical expenses minus the lesser of 3% of your net income for the year or a fixed amount that is indexed annually ($2,208 for 2015). Eligible medical expenses incurred for other dependents are calculated based on that dependent’s net income.

Get the most from your credit … by combining eligible medical expenses on the return of the lower-income spouse or by choosing any 12-month period ending in the current taxation year for previously unclaimed expenses.

Be sure to keep all your medical and dental receipts including those for prescriptions, travel expenses (for a patient who must travel at least 80 kilometres from home for treatment) meals, accommodations and parking expenses.

Be sure to get the most from your medical expense tax credit and all your other eligible tax credits and deductions by talking to your professional advisor about the best tax-planning, taxsaving strategies for you.

“We thank the community for its patience and its leadership in planning together to put these arrangements in place,” says Marga Cugnet, CEO, Sun Country Health Region. The arrangements are a partnership between SCHR, Arcola Health Corporation and the Wawota Health Foundation.

“This is a permanent arrangement. We are pleased to have been able to successfully conclude these discussions quickly, with minimum disruption to the community,” says Mrs. Cugnet.

Doctors in Moosomin notified SCHR in Febru-

ary they would no longer travel to Wawota to provide primary health services. Since then, the nurse practitioner from Maryfield has been providing health care to long term care residents in Wawota.

“We thank Nurse Practitioner Nikki Ford and the Primary Health Care staff for their work in Wawota while the arrangements were being made,” says Mrs. Cugnet.

Application changes in place for 2015 big game draw Changes to Saskatchewan’s big game draw application process for 2015 mean that hunters will need to track down HAL before they have the opportunity to track down any animals.

HAL is the Ministry of Environment’s online hunting, angling and trapping licence system – and this year it is the gateway for big game draw applications, which need to be completed and submitted before the draw closes at midnight on June 2.

“The process is modernized and streamlined to make it easier for hunters and anglers. Everything you need is in one place,” said Travis Williams of the ministry’s Fish and Wildlife Branch, noting that HAL allows for the purchase of licences at any time – 24 hours a day, seven days a week – using a personal account. “In addition to it being a onestop shop, security on the HAL system has recently been upgraded to better secure personal information. Users are now required to have a password to further protect their account.”

Creating a HAL account is a quick and easy one-time only requirement and most hunters already have one. If you’ve previously purchased a Saskatchewan hunting, angling or trapping licence, or if you applied for the big game draw last year, then you’re already registered. Those who are registered have been assigned a HAL identification number, which can be used for all future licence purchasing. Please ensure that your personal information is current and up to date. For Saskatchewan residents, this includes confirming that your name and date of birth is exactly as it appears on

your Saskatchewan Health Services Card.

The big game draw is a method used to fairly distribute the limited number of hunting licences to Saskatchewan residents for big game animals such as mule deer, elk and moose. The draw uses a system of priority pools to ensure that all applicants are treated equally with a higher priority being given to those who have not been drawn for a number of years.

The big game draw’s availability on HAL this year means users will be able to apply for the draw through their online HAL account instead of the Ministry of Environment website.

Users will also be able to update and review submitted applications, check pool status history and purchase their awarded licences from their online account.

“The big game draw is really popular, so I would encourage hunters to apply early,” said Williams, who has one more tip for those interested in entering in the draw: “Make sure to read the big game draw supplement. t has important information to help hunters in applying for the big game draw regarding season dates, quotas for each species and instructions on how to check your draw results.”

The big game draw is held in June and results will be available by mid-July.

Preserving vintage farm equipment

By Calvin Daniels One area of agriculture I have long held an interest in is rare breeds of livestock.

There are multiple reasons for it, including maintaining a connection to our farming past when many of the breeds fit a very different on-farm world than we have today.

What works on a farm today simply would not cut it in the past, and vice versa.

Today’s hogs would not fare as well in typically outdoor conditions, and better than the current strains of laying hen.

That said many of the older breeds would not have the average daily gains and feed conversion numbers required today to grind a profit out of the large scale barns.

That should not be a surprise since steam engines are not going to work very efficiently on a farm today either.

But we have long worked hard to preserve our vintage farm equipment.

The Yorkton branch of the Western Development Museum is testament to that effort, with its extensive static display of old tractors and steam engines, which are the heart of the annual Threshermen’s Show, the highlight of the year at

the museum.

We collectively seem to grasp there is importance in preserving our past, whether it’s the history of Saskatchewan baseball and a Hall of Fame and Museum in North Battleford, or someone painstakingly rebuilding a 1950s car to factory specs.

It might be easier to collect old tractors and store them in a shed to be viewed by future generations than it is to maintain Hampshire swine, but it is no less important.

In fact, I suggest the maintenance of livestock genetics is more important.

We make the assumption the trend we have been on for years in farming is the one which will continue.

That is hard to argue since the idea of farms getting ever and ever larger, and more specialized began back post the First World War. All things holding the same, the trend will continue.

But the fly in the proverbial ointment in thinking that way is the assumption all things will stay the same.

That may not be the case. We are still far from free of the idea that fossil fuels are going to last.

Now diesel fuel and the power source for today’s

Parenting Tips from Regional KidsFirst - It’s tough being a dad It is tough being a Dad but it is the most important job you will ever have. Dads take this time to spend quality time with your children. Play games. Tell stories. Learn new activities. Simply just hang out!

Children who have dads or father figures involved in their lives tend to have a better educational outcome. Fathers who are involved, nurturing, and playful with their children have children who tend to have higher IQ levels. Children will also develop stronger linguistics and cognitive capacities. Children also tend to have stronger verbal skills, intellectual functioning, and academic achievement within their adolescent years.

Children with involved fathers are more likely to be emotionally secure, confident, and have positive social connections with others.

Below are some great activities that dads and their little ones can do together! ● If you have a wee baby in the household, play Peek-a-Boo! ● Teach your older child about size and fittings – this can be done with Tupperware containers! Play together to see if the small container fits in the big container! ● Any sort of game that involves pouring! This will help your child learn the concept of empty and full. ● Counting games or rhymes such as “One, Two, Buckle my Shoe” ● Play with building blocks – if your child is very young, this will help them develop their eye-hand coordination. If your child is older, you can see how high your tower of blocks can go!

huge farm tractors become an issue.

It may be reasonable to expect an electric car to get the businessman to work each day, but pulling an 80-foot cultivator is another issue.

On a broader scale we also expect our populations will remain clustered in ever larger cities.

But we increasingly see water shortages, how to deal with garbage from millions, and the general deterioration of city infrastructure with little financial ability by municipalities to address the situation. So, could big cities collapse? To think not would be a case of not considering all the possibilities.

Which brings us back to rare breeds. If we see a move of people back to the land, and farms forced to smaller size by any number of possibilities, could make the old genetics a much needed resource.

We actually already see that with the trend toward backyard laying hens in many forward-thinking cities. People wanting some control of their food are looking at chickens, but the cage layers of the big farms are far from ideal for backyards.

That’s why a project through the University of Alberta’s Poultry Research Centre is so intriguing.

The Centre sent 5,500 chicks from five rare breeds; Barred Plymouth Rock, Light Sussex, Rhode Island Red, Brown Leghorn and Random Breed 1978 to people across Alberta where the idea of raising flocks of heritage chickens and helping preserve the rare breeds. The birds were sold to farms and acreages and for use in backyard flocks in Edmonton.

It is a wonderful program which serves well to preserve genetics which may well be important again in the future, as they have been in the past.

Helen Gladys (Allan) Luedtke 1922 2015 Helen, formerly of Arcola, Sask. passed away surrounded by her loving family in the Regina General Hospital on April 15, 2015 at the age of 93 years.

Helen was born March 28, 1922 to Peter and Beatrice Allan, the youngest of 7 children and was raised on the family farm at Creelman, Sask. She attended the country school of Sequin which was within a mile of their farm and then on to Creelman and Heward for high school, followed by attending Normal School in Regina where she completed her teaching certificate. After receiving her certificate in 1942 she accepted a position at the Wabash School located 4 miles east of Willmar, where she taught for 1.5 years.

Helen billeted at the Luedtke farm one mile south of the school, where she met her future husband Elmer. They were married in Regina at a double wedding ceremony with her sister in1944 and lived on the farm with a number of family members until they took over the homestead farm in 1947. Elmer and Hel en raised five “wonderful” children (Kelvin, Lynne, Maureen, Bonnie and Dale).

She took pride in her home and was an excellent seamstress and cook. The Luedtke farm was a second summer home to many nieces and nephews who experienced all the fun and some of the work on the farm and lots of music. They were accepted as part of the family and have fond memories from that time. Helen loved gardening and was very proud of her flowers. She was active with the church and community events and really enjoyed the social part of playing cards and was very keen at Bridge, especially in the long cold winter months when neighbours would visit. Curling was an event she enjoyed and in later years as a spectator, even on TV. Garage and household auction sales were a huge attraction for her and if she could stop for a visit to the casino would help to make her day. Having a good comfortable car and a new pair of leather shoes was highly valued and something her family knew about. She always maintained a positive outlook and enjoyed life with an eager willingness to learn new things like starting to play the violin in her later years.

After her family was raised, she was employed at Moose Mountain Lodge in Carlyle for 9 years which was enjoyable and her circle of friends grew much larger. In 1983, Elmer and Helen left the farm and moved to Arcola, where many of their Willmar area friends had already moved to, and as a result their circle of friends grew even larger. Ol’time music “jam sessions” continued to be common place at their home when any of the musical family members and friends would visit. After Elmer passed away in 1995, Helen continued to live in Arcola till Sept 2012 when she moved the Collage Park Sr. Home in Regina. Although she missed her friends in Arcola area, she adapted quickly to the routine at the home, quickly made more friends, continued to play many card games and enjoy all the special entertainment and social times, like “happy hour” every Friday afternoon.

Helen was predeceased by her parents Peter and Beatrice Allan, her husband Elmer of more than 50 years, her sister Marie, brothers, Donald, Andrew, Sam, Colin, son-inlaw Don George and numerous brother and sister-in-laws.

Helen is survived by her two sons, Kelvin (Theresa), Arcola; Dale (Wendy), Lloydminster. Three daughters, Lynne Currie, Regina, Maureen (Mark) Fischer, Medicine Hat; Bonnie (Clint) Clarke, Medicine Hat. Sixteen grandchildren and Fourteen greatgrandchildren. 5 Sister-In-Laws, Kathryn (Creelman), Ruth (Regina),Adelia (Watrous), Evelyn (Calgary) and Doris (Vancouver).
