Following the Remembrance Day ceremonies in the CES gym, the Colour Party was joined by a smaller crowd laying three wreaths at the local cenotaph remembering those who have served in World War I and World War II, one for all veterans who returned from war, and one for UN/NATO members. By Kelly Running “We shall remember them.” Remembrance Day remains an important day showing support to troops and their families, while remembering those who sacrificed their lives. Freedom isn’t free, but we are lucky today to have it and to have men and women earn that freedom and ensure it. The Carlyle branch of the Royal Canadian Legion held a Remembrance Day ceremony on Nov. 11 to honour these memories and show support for those currently serving our country. The colours were marched in just before 10:45 a.m. and the Colour Party held the flags at attention during the singing of “O Canada.” Following the “Last Post,” performed by Jesse Twietmeyer, two minutes of silence were observed to remember those who had given their lives, those who fought but returned home, and to those currently in service. Additionally people remembered the families of these soldiers and what they have been through for Canada. In an act of remembrance the World War I and World War II roll calls were read, which was followed by a letter from the Prime Minister. “Today we remember the courage and dedication of the Canadian men and women who have fought valiantly over the years to defend our freedom and rights, making it possible for us to live in a peaceful, democratic country where we enjoy one of the best qualities of life in the world,” Prime Minister Steven Harper wrote. ““For the past two centuries, hundreds of thousands of Canadians have earned enormous respect – at home and abroad – by answering the call to fight against tyranny and evil around the world in engagements such as the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, Afghanistan and many other international military operations. Those who fought so valiantly in these battlefields are still honoured and remembered in places such as Vimy Ridge, Ypres, Normandy, Sicily, Hill 355 in Korea, and Kandahar to name a few. Many made the ultimate sacrifice.” “We can never repay the debt we owe to the intrepid men and women who paid for our freedom with their lives, but we can remember their enormous sacrifices and pay tribute to their bravery

and patriotism.” Remembrance Day this year looked to the sad act of terror which occurred on Oct. 22, 2014. Cpl. Nathan Cirillo had been on duty as the ceremonial sentry at the Canadian National War Museum. His life was taken by the shooter. It is not often Canada is attacked in this way and it rallied the nation together. Sr. Lucille Courcelles, the participating clergy this year, spoke during the ceremony about terrorism on our soil being a worry; but, hoping that this kind of violence can be ceased and replaced with hope and peace. “Peace is possible,” Sr. Courcelles stated. “This is a day to pray for peace.” A collection was gathered during the ceremony by the Carlyle Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion to support veterans. Following the ceremony, those in attendance were asked to join the Colour Party for a short service at the Cenotaph in town where three wreaths were laid: one for World War I and World War II veterans, one for all veterans who have returned from war, and one for UN/NATO members.

Today’s Enterprises Furniture & Electronics holds grand opening in Redvers

Photo submitted

Murray and Heather Aulie and son Jaxon proudly perform the ribbon-cutting at the third and newest location of Today’s Enterprises Furniture and Electronics in Redvers on Nov. 12. The day-long grand opening event drew about 300 people, who had the chance to chat with representatives from the many product lines the store carries.

By Lynne Bell Murray Aulie, owner of Today’s Enterprises Furniture & Electronics in Redvers, says he is, “Humbled and grateful to the people who came out to our grand opening.” “I’m very grateful,” he says of the Nov. 12 event. “We had about 300 people come through our doors that day. I also owe my staff a big thank you as well as to the reps who came out that day.” “We had reps from Palliser and Ashley [furniture], Restwell mattresses, and The Source electronics. They were surprised at how many people came out for a community of our size.” “Today’s Furniture & Electronics is almost a one-stop shop,” says Aulie. “We sell Palliser and Ashley furniture, mattresses and bedding, and we’re a Sears outlet. We sell computers, printers, ink and toner. We’re The Source store here, so we also sell a variety of elec-

tronics and accessories.” “We’re a SaskTel dealer, so we carry a full line of smart phonesincluding iPhones, Sony, Samsung Galaxy, etc. and also high-speed internet products. We’re a satellite sales and service dealer for Shaw and Bell. In addition, we also supply security cameras and security systems.” “And if a customer wants to give a gift from our store, we also have gift certificates and greeting cards in stock,” he adds. Aulie and his business have both grown up in the Redvers area. “I grew up north of Redvers, in Ryerson,” he says. “The business has grown, along with the community. Our first location was in the main floor of The Optimist building in 1996. In 2010, we moved to #5 Broadway, and in August, we moved to this location.” The day-long grand opening in Today’s Enterprises’ newest location had some customers arriving

before the doors opened at 9 a.m. The approximately 300 people who came through the doors that day enjoyed coffee and doughnuts and the chance to win door prizes, including a Palliser chair and a diamond necklace. “It’s awesome,” said Denis Martine of Redvers. “People walk into the store and they can’t believe it. We sent someone here and they were so impressed with the selection. They don’t have to go to Brandon or Minot to buy it. What’s nice is that it’s not only right here in town, but good, local people work here.” “I’m so thankful for the support of the community,” says Aulie. It was amazing that they came out to help me during the next step of my career.” Today’s Enterprises Furniture & Electronics is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located at #27 Railway Avenue, Redvers.

By Kelly Running The Fern Rebekah Lodge of Kisbey hosted a fundraiser on Saturday, Sept. 15. Held between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. the Rebekahs welcomed people to the Kisbey Rec Centre where a quilt display drew in many people of all ages. The quilter, Ted Sheard, has connections to the community with his wife Linda being Verna Reed’s sister. Sheard grew up in Rockglen and laughed, explaining the small community and limited extra curricular activities when he was young led to him first picking up a needle. “The first class I took was in ‘73,” Sheard explained. “We had to make a table runner and put three blocks together using three basic techniques. There’s countless techniques, too many to count,

but I’ve since learned many. Some of these quilts have been around for years.” Though the event began with Reed asking if Sheard would be willing to share a few quilts, it turned into a show of Sheard’s past work. “The quilts I make stay mostly in the family and for me, it’s my down time,” Sheard stated. “I spend that time collecting my thoughts in the evening. It’s really just a hobby of mine.” Though just a hobby, those looking through the numerous quilts on display were amazed by the craftsmanship. Sheard himself explained of many pieces, “I will never be able to stitch quite this good again, but I like to hand stitch. I took a class on machine quilting and didn’t really enjoy it

because you have to concentrate on the machine and that doesn’t allow any other thoughts in.” Pointing out a few of his quilts Sheard continued, “That level of quilting is very labour intensive. A lot of my time is now more putting tops together and a lady from Lumsden uses a machine to sew the quilt.” Sheard enjoys how his hobby allows his artistic abilities to come through either by envisioning a quilt to create or adding to an already stitched quilt. In addition to the numerous quilts which were enjoyed by the many who filtered through the Rec Centre, with coffee, tea, and food available as well, the day became not only a time to enjoy the quilting talents of Sheard, but to enjoy an afternoon out in Kisbey with friends and family.

Ted Sheard has been quilting for many years and on Saturday, Nov. 15, he was asked to share his talents with those in Kisbey as part of a Fern Rebekah Lodge fundraiser in the community.

Eli Barsi hosts Kennedy’s 6th Annual Hometown Christmas Dec. 5 and 6 By Lynne Bell Award-winning singer-songwriter Eli Barsi is once again giving area music-lovers “a merry, prairie Christmas”, as she hosts her sixth annual Hometown Christmas concerts Dec. 5 and 6 at Kennedy Community Hall. Traditionally, Barsi has invited special guests back to her hometown to perform, including Brad Johner, Gary Fjellgaard, Ronnie and Glory-Anne Prophet, and roots musician and fellow Kennedy native, Blake Berglund. This year, she will be welcoming Irish singer-storyteller, Stephen Maguire to the stage. Macguire, a native of Belfast, Northern Ireland, whose sound is often described as ‘soul meets country,’ now lives in Saskatoon with his Saskatchewan-born wife. He is a two-time Saskatchewan Country Music award-winner and along with being named the 2014 Country Music Person of the Year in the province, he was also presented with the SCMA Humanitarian Award. “Stephen and I met a couple of years ago at the Saskatchewan Country Music Association Awards,” says Barsi. “Since then, he has invited me to be a part of his many benefit fundraising events, including the Saskatchewan Flood Relief Concert at Casino Regina this summer and his upcoming Crisis Nursery Christmas Benefit in Saskatoon. Working with him on and off stage has given me the opportunity to know him as a great entertainer and humanitarian, so I was thrilled when he accepted the invite to be a part of this year’s show.” “He has so much to offer as an entertainer, musician, vocalist and storyteller. Since these shows are always acoustic, you get an up close and personal, intimate experience of the music, and really get to know the artist. This will be a great opportunity for people in this area to meet Stephen and take home some great memories and music.” Barsi says that her Kennedy Christmas shows are a special tradition for her. “I am proud to be from Kennedy, Saskatchewan, raised on a farm near there,” she says. “Like so many farming communities and towns, there’s a common respect for the rural lifestyle, hard work ethic, and real great people. I will always appreciate what these communities represent. It’s been important to me and an honour to come back home, and what better time of year to share the gift of music than during the Christmas season.” “The Kennedy Community Hall is in fact the stage where I made my very first public appearance many years ago. I feel very blessed to have had these opportunities to present a family show and to share the stage with all of the great artists that have been a part of this series thus far, including: Celtic artist Lizzy Hoyt, cowgirl poet Doris Daley, Brad Johner, Gary Fjellgaard, Ronnie and Glory-Anne Prophet and last year, The Pelletiers.” “I had always hoped that our Christmas shows in Kennedy would be something that would be successful enough to continue through the years,” says Barsi. “I can only take it one year at a time, and every show dictates if I will take it on again the following year. So, I am very grateful that I get to present for a sixth year and know that this is all due to the good folks that have filled the old Kennedy Hall both nights for the last five years-with enthusiasm and support.” Barsi always endeavors to bring new experiences to her annual show; and this enthusiasm, coupled with the community’s support, ensures the show is always fresh, while keeping the same format. “The Hometown Christmas is different every year, with something for everyone. The audience can expect an entertaining, lively, fun family show, in the true spirit of Christmas with each artist’s special brand of music woven through their set. My

There will be an intermission with Christmas treats and refreshments for a donation to a local group. This year’s special guest, Stephen Maguire, will entertain during the show’s second half with an eclectic mixture of Traditional Irish, Soul, and Country and Folk Christmas music. The finale will find everyone on stage performing a farewell song, to send everyone home with a jingle in their step and Christmas spirit in their hearts,” As for the new year, Barsi says, “I am looking forward to 2015, as I will be celebrating 30 years full- time in the music business. It’s going to be a busy year, as I plan on continuing with a lot of travel, with many shows and festivals booked already. I’ve recently signed with a new management company and they have started the gears in motion for a tour of both the United Kingdom and Europe. I have another couple of radio singles and music videos to release in Canada and the USA from my ‘Portrait of a Cowgirl’ album. As well, I’m in the process of writing new material for the next album.” “Something I have also thought about for a very long time is working on an autobiography, so that’s something that will be ongoing for the new year, as well. I can’t put a release date on that, but it will be available someday.” Eli Barsi’s 6th Annual Hometown Christmas is Dec. 5 and 6 at the Kennedy Community Hall. Doors open at 6:15 p.m. and the shows start at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 and are available at elibarsi.com or by calling Juanita at (306)-538-2220 in Kennedy.

OBSERVER OPINION Keeping it local By Shelley Luedtke

t was the kind of weekend a sports fan can simply sit back and take in. In the space of 72 hours and with the right mix of networks you could watch tennis, soccer, hockey, basketball, football, figure skating and World Series games in a virtual buffet of TV sports. It is a blurring of seasons that allows for the field of competition to include turf, grass and ice--sometimes in climates that aren’t necessarily suited to that type of surface this time of year. Snow is removed from football fields to reveal grid marks while refrigeration units allow for winter sports to take place in sunny places. People do what is necessary to make this happen and as a result leagues have been expanded and seasons extended. Every year conversations occur asking “how early is too early?” as we react to holiday merchandise appearing on our store shelves. When does one season end and another rightly begin? The blurring is widely evident. In some places you can find clearance deals on summer clothes, buy your Halloween candy and purchase Christmas tree ornaments in one stop. Opinions range from “convenient” to “offensive” when asked if it is okay for Christmas decorations, music and merchandise to be front and centre in the fall. Celebrities, business analysts, and even political pundits have been weighing in for weeks now on whether or not holiday products should come out before or after Remembrance Day or if the reindeer should occupy shelf space while the jack-o-lanterns are still having their day. Some people act as if it is some sort of outside force at work determining when these things happen, when in reality it is our purchasing patterns that set the tone. If customers respond to the merchandise by purchasing it as soon as it hits the shelf, you know that date will be pushed up earlier and earlier in order to increase sales and respond to customer demand. I have been part of many conversations over the last number of years where the statement “someone needs to do something” is made as the topic of small towns is discussed. The challenges in running a business are well known. The extra challenges faced by those in smaller communities cannot be ignored. The ease with which we travel to bigger cities with more options plays a role. So does the price point if the perception persists that things are cheaper somewhere else. And as long as our dollars flow in that direction these factors will continue to be tough to overcome. However we can change things. If the climate of a town is one in which the local businesses are being supported, there is an economic health that will cause people to take note. If the climate indicates the local economy is not being supported widely, potential business owners will look elsewhere to put their investment. The loss isn’t just the bottom line for business owners. It also impacts employment opportunities and the population of the community as well as the vitality of that community. The “someone” who can do something is us. Our decisions regarding where we spend our money has a direct impact on the life and health of our communities. Our purchasing power can cause businesses to flourish, create jobs, and bring new ideas and initiatives into our towns. The people that could then be attracted to these places may become our children’s coaches, volunteer with our organizations, donate to our charities and enhance our communities in ways we can’t even imagine. As consumers we need to recognize and give proper regard to the power we hold in our hands to influence the business and retail sectors. We don’t just impact the economy. We ARE the economy. Every dollar we spend sends a message. Every dollar we withhold does as well. Are we willing to do what is necessary to make this happen and allow local businesses to be successful and our communities to expand? Canadians will be spending $885 per person over the next few weeks on everything from tinsel to turkeys. Where we spend those dollars results not just in holiday treats for our families and friends, but gifts to all of our neighbours…and entire town as well. That’s my outlook.

Gender inequality shows through simple experiment By Kelly Running

hile reading through CBC articles I found one on their community blog section regarding Australia’s Today Show host. Karl Stefanovic is the co-host of the show and recently brought attention to a long-term experiment on the how’s audience. Experiment? Well, over the last year Stefanovic wanted to bring to light the focus people have on women in media and the clothes they wear. To do this he in fact wore the same suit every day for over a year. He decided to undergo the experiment through the frustration of watching his cohost, Lisa Wilkinson, and other female morning show hosts be scrutinized for fashion choices, something that detracts from the morning show. The only difference in Stefanovic’s appearance was a necktie, otherwise the blue suit was what he wore day in and day out. Through this time no one noticed he was wearing the same suit. “...women, they wear the wrong colour and they get pulled up. They say the wrong thing and there’s thousands of tweets written about them,” Stefanovic told Fairfax. “I’m judged on my

interviews, my appalling sense of humour – on how I do my job, basically. Whereas women are quite often judged on what they’re wearing or how their hair is... That’s [what I wanted to test].” It’s a small look into inequality. Although men and women can be determined to be well suited or qualified for a job, there are instances where people are still judged differently based on their gender. In fact in 2010 a headline read in The Daily Telegraph, “Premier Keneally wears same dress twice.” Though this is a rather menial topic to draw attention to, feminism is something people are talking about more holistically today. Feminism is a word that often makes people feel uncomfortable, but really, as Emma Watson the Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women said in a speech to the United Nations earlier this year, “it is not the word that is important. It’s the idea and the ambition behind it.” Her speech too received criticisms for focusing on First World countries issues with gender inequality, but really she called for all people to work together in seeing “gender as a spectrum instead of two sets of opposing ideals,” according to

this same speech. Ultimately true equality would mean that being a sensitive male or an aggressive female are simply accepted and that they are not seen as being too feminine or too masculine; but, simply seen as being people. Research has actually shown that men can be seen in a workplace as being bold or dynamic when giving orders, while women become seen as shrill and cold. According to this research it is actually a Catch-22 for women in the workplace because if they act in the traditionally feminine ways they then become incompetent. Gender stereotypes are therefore still popular. If a man appears too sensitive he becomes seen as “gay,” in a derogatory way, making it a bad thing to be sensitive. And this then becomes unacceptable, when really it doesn’t matter what your relationship preferences are, in fact that’s not really anyone’s business. So, the multiple stereotypes and the attitudes towards what isn’t considered to be the norm only perpetuates a continuing cycle. It’s only when everyone works together to debunk stereotypes and accept each other that change can actually develop.

OBSERVER LIFESTYLES Pause for By Ken Rolheiser www.kenrolheiser.com Reflection The wisdom and joy in taking up our cross daily The key to finding meaning in suffering is being close to God. “Nothing is wanting to him who possesses God,” said St Teresa of Avila. “God alone suffices”. Being close to God means joy! In Breaking into Joy Anne Costa says: “Joy does not depend upon our circumstances. It comes from God and cannot be reduced by suffering or hardship.” About suffering, Costa says, “How we choose to think about things is always within our control.” In “Carrying our cross” theologian Ron Rolheiser shares Jesuit James Martin’s insights into suffering. In Jesus, A Pilgrimage Martin suggests that taking up our cross daily and giving up life in order to find deeper life means six interpenetrating things: First, it means accepting that suffering is a part of our lives. Accepting our cross and giving up our lives means that, at some point, we have to make peace with the unalterable fact that frustration, disappointment, pain, misfortune, illness, unfairness, sadness, and death are a part of our lives and they must ultimately be accepted without bitterness.

Second, taking up our cross and giving up our lives, means that we may not, in our suffering, pass on any bitterness to those around us… This does not mean, as Martin points out, that we cannot share our pain with others… there’s a healthy way of doing this, where our sharing leaves others free… Jesus groaned under the weight of his cross, but no self-pity, whining, or bitterness issued forth from his lips. Third, walking in the footsteps of Jesus as he carries his cross means that we must accept some other deaths before our physical death, that we are invited to let some parts of ourselves die… If we live in adulthood, there are a myriad of other deaths that we must undergo before we die physically. Fourth, it means that we must wait for the resurrection, that here in this life all symphonies must remain unfinished. The book of Proverbs tells us that sometimes in the midst of pain the best we can do is put our mouths to the dust and wait… So much of life and discipleship is about waiting, waiting in frustration, inside injustice, inside pain, in longing, battling bitterness, as we wait for some-

thing or someone to come and change our situation. Fifth, carrying our cross daily means accepting that God’s gift to us is often not what we expect. God always answers our prayers but, often times, by giving us what we really need rather than what we think we need. The Resurrection, says James Martin, does not come when we expect it and rarely fits our notion of how a resurrection should happen. To carry your cross is to be open to surprise. Sixth, taking up your cross and being willing to give up your life means living in a faith that believes that nothing is impossible for God… It’s only possible to accept our cross, to live in trust, and to not grow bitter inside pain if we believe…in the Resurrection. The Book of Wisdom 3:1-9 tells us that the souls of the just are in the hand of God who uses their suffering to refine them like gold in a furnace, then gathers them as a sacrificial offering. The joy of the resurrection follows life’s suffering. Taking up our cross daily and living in joy is something we can choose. It beats any of the alternatives.

Negotiating life’s curves You know it’s going to be a different kind of a day when you squeeze the tube and toothpaste comes out the wrong end. Or, when a special friend confirms that she will be spending four days with you. Or when a treasured son and his family, also the next door neighbours, announce that they are moving two provinces away. Life throws some interesting curves, some of them crazy in a funny sort of way, some absolutely delightful and others, not easy to process. All these were part of my last week and I handled them all rather differently.

As to the visit with a dear friend, every minute we spent was treasured. For starters, it’s been months since I took a daytrip out of our geographically isolated city and sped up and down a portion of the Island highway. While Dorothy enjoyed lunch with family, I and another special friend ate our meal a few tables away. Over the course of those four days Dorothy and I laughed together, shared burdens together and enjoyed fellowshipping with a group of ladies from our church. In regards to the far-too-soon departure of our son and his wife, I’ve rejoiced with them over

new opportunities, cried my heart out and visited nearly every emotion in between. As different as they may seem to be, God’s faithfulness is the common factor in each event. For me, having that assurance is what makes it possible to negotiate life’s curves without crashing. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5,6 Oh yes, about that errant tube. After a couple of attempts to stem the tide, I gave in. After all, toothpaste is toothpaste, no matter where it exits the container.

Dear Ellen

Dear Ellen, What is a date rape drug? I have a daughter who is going to University and want her to be well prepared. Concerned Mom, Dear Concerned Mom, Date rape drugs technically speaking are any substance that renders you incapable of saying no or asserting yourself. This can include alcohol and street and club drugs. The most common date rape drug is alcohol. I will focus on the drugs other than alcohol, as I’m sure most people know the common side effects of alcohol intoxication. Date rape drugs include Rohypnol (roofies), GHB (liquid ecstasy), and Ketamine (special K). Rohynol can cause visual disturbance, drowsiness, confusion, dizziness, motion difficulty, respiratory depression and amnesia. The effects are often felt within 10 minutes and can last up to eight hours. Rohynol is very dangerous when mixed with alcohol or other depressants. GHB causes drowsiness, deep unresponsive sleep, nausea, etc. GHB usually takes effect within 15 minutes of ingestion and its effects can last several hours depending on the dosage. Ketamine can distort the sense of balance, time judgment and ability to communicate, numbness, trembling, hallucinations, etc. The effects typically last for an hour, but can last longer. They are easy to administer (stir and dissolve), most are colorless, odourless and tasteless, and so they can be easily slipped into a drink. Once ingested the drugs often make a victim very disorientated, dizzy and ill. The victim will often recognize they are not feeling well and want to go home. Usually this is when the perpetrator will offer them a ride. Unfortunately once the victim accepts the ride and is alone with the perpetrator, more time has elapsed. At this stage, the victim becomes incapable of saying no, is drowsy and often lapses in to an unconscious/amnesic state. Even after the attack, the victim often has no capacity to remember what took place. It is important to know that alcohol greatly increases the effects of these drugs and the mixture can be lethal. If your daughter has experienced any date rape drugs side effects she should never leave or be left alone. The intent of the perpetrator is to get the victim drugged, alone and to assault them. Before going out she should make a pact with a friend to always leave together and not to accept a ride from anyone other than her friend when feeling ill under any circumstance. In my next article I will discuss more on sexual assault and what your daughter and adults need to do to keep themselves safe.

Parenting Tips from Regional KidsFirst – Let’s pretend Playing “pretend” games with your child will have positive results in everyday life. Your child will learn different aspects of a day to day activities. Some great games you can play with your child include: Uh-oh! The Lights went Out – Have pretended power outages in the evening to help your child learn that when the power goes out it is not scary. Teddy bears picnic – if possible, head outside and

go on a picnic with your child and their favorite teddy bear. If weather does not cooperate, you can always set up a picnic in your living room. Let’s go walking and searching - Take your child outdoors and go for a walk. While walking, see how many different types of leaves you can collect, or the different types of birds you see. If staying indoors, set up a scavenger hunt – find 3 socks, 3 toys, and 3

shirts with buttons. Pretend emergencies – have your child get a bag ready to be out the door and in vehicle within 10 minutes. This ‘game’ helps them learn how to get ready quickly if an emergency were to happen. Where’s Home? – When out driving with your children, ask them to give you directions on how to get home. If they cannot give directions, help them learn the house address.

High School Athletic Association rules regarding student population. The two pool round robin led to Carlyle and Esterhazy being eliminated before the cross-over matches between the two pools. After Lumsden finished first in their pool, they were to take on Regina in the playoff match. A bitter battle, Lumsden claimed victory over the Regina team. The playoff match would then see Melville take on Yorkton. The crowd was loud with these two teams having a friendly rivalry being neighbouring communities. With effort abounding on either side, it was Melville which was able to find themselves in the final versus Lumsden. Immediately following the playoff matches the gold medal match was held. With both teams having already made their way to provincials this round was for glory and the medal earning them the title of

regional champions. In the end Lumsden would edge out a tired Melville for the win. It was the bronze medal match, however, that would determine who the third team would be to move on to provincials. Yorkton was able to earn the bronze and clinch the final spot on the road to provincials. This weekend also saw local senior boys teams compete in their conferences. Arcola boys will move on after earning second place in Ogema in boys 1A Conferences. Manor boys took first place in their 2A Conferences held in Montmartre, while Lampman boys took third here narrowly missing out on continuing to Regionals. In 3A Conferences hosted in Carnduff the Redvers senior boys and Carnduff senior boys will be advancing. The Carlyle and Stoughton boys took part in this tournament as well, but their seasons have come to a close.

Manor senior boys off to Regionals

Danielle Benjamin Sports Contributor The Novice Carlyle Cougars (Wade) coached this year by Wade Robertson, Gord Jarvis, and Chris Piper are proving to be a strong team and tough contenders. This year’s roster includes; Blake Robertson, Kaeden Piper, Ayven Standingready, Max Waugh, Dawson Galbraith, Daine Thomas, Grady Benjamin, Nolan Riddell, Chase Robertson, Keltin Slykhuis, and AP Reeve Waugh. This year they are practicing at the Carlyle Sports Arena on Tuesdays from 4-5 and Thursdays from 5-6 with shooting practice from 4-4:30 in the small ice surface at the rink (sponsored by Millenium Directional Service),

where they are practicing their shooting skills. These practices are full of lots of sweat, smiles, and fun by this team of hard working boys and dedicated coaches. This Novice (Wade) team has played 2 home games with big wins against Redvers Brian on November 2nd with a final score of 25-1. Their next game was at home in Carlyle vs Carievale on November 8th with a final score of 31-1. These two games were the first time that they have played as a team and they sure are learning how to play together. Their next game took them to Kipling on November 8th where they faced off and won with a score of 8-1. The first tournament

that our team has entered was the Whitewood Elks Novice Tournament held in Whitewood on November 15th and 16th. It was a busy weekend with our team playing two games and winning against the Yorkton Thorsness Terriers with a final score of 16-7, and then against the Yorkton Fedorowich Construction Terriers with a final score of 16-4. The boys worked very hard and earned the two wins. The next day we played against Whitewood Black and won with a final score of 10-5. These 3 wins put our team into the Championship Game at the end of the tournament. Our team played their hearts out and made great plays, awesome saves, and worked together as a team so well that they outplayed

The Manor senior boys volleyball team took first place in their 2A Conferences hosted in Montmarte and will be off to Regionals this weekend with aims of going to provincials. Whitewood Orange to win the Championship with a final score of 11-5. Carlyle Novice Wade Cougars are the 2014 Novice Champions at the Whitewood Elks Novice Tournament!!! The boys and their coaches along with the parents were very proud of their hard work. CONGRATULATIONS TEAM!!! Our next home games are scheduled for November 22nd at 11:00 am vs Redvers Jamie and on November 30th at 10:00 am vs Lampman at the Carlyle Sports Arena. Everyone is welcome!

Carlyle Cougars Pee Wee update Carrie Pelletier Sports Contributor The Redvers Rockets came to town on Saturday November 8, 2014 to face off against The Cougars. However, they proved to be a tough team to beat. With considerable effort, Carlyle struggled to hit the score sheet. Unfortunately, after seeing a couple of bad breaks it was 4-0 for Redvers by the end of the first period. The Cougars didn’t let up, most notably with Trey Baker skillfully playing his defensive position. Goal tender, Missy Biermann also did a great job of keeping the bottom

end of the net covered. Carlyle’s ceaseless effort continued right until the final buzzer. Even so, the score was 7 -0 sending Redvers home with a shutout. On Sunday Lampman/ Bienfait came to town to compete against the Carlyle Cougars. In an effort to break the Cougars three game slide, coaches Lloyd Bendtsen and Brian Hagel juggled their bench. They sent Kenna Hagel, Cody Hofos, Nolan Pelletier and William StandingReady back to the blue line, and brought Cade Bendtsen, Adrien Riddell, Logan Young and Brody Yuzicappi up to the wing. This

proved to be the boost that Carlyle needed. Cody Hofos and Nolan Pelletier had stand out games in their new roles while Devin Loustel was a forechecking machine. The line of Cade Bendtsen, Tyler Colpitts and Adrien Riddell were an unstoppable force that scored 17 points between them. Carlyle’s goalie Zane Winters did a phenomenal job in the crease, with some very impressive saves that kept the opposition from gaining any ground. The Cougars never faltered in their intensity and were unbreakable. The entire team put forth a first rate effort resulting in a 14-6

win over Lampman/Bienfait. Saturday, Nov. 15 saw the Cougars in Estevan for their first tournament of the season. They took game one with a score of 5 – 4 against the Estevan Pee Wee Bruins, they also won the second game 5-4 against the Weyburn East Wey Wings. That win pushed them through to the semi-finals against the Estevan Storm that evening at 5:45. Unfortunately, fatigue seemed to set in for the third game and it was an 8 – 1 victory for the Storm. The Cougars have won three of their last four games.

The Carlyle Curling Club will be hosting a Saskatchewan Women’s Curling Tour bonspiel Dec. 5 to 7. Pictured here is Kristen Mitchell of Kenosee (one of the chair’s of the Carlyle Merit Ford Sales Saskatchewan Women’s Curling Tour) sweeping on the left with teammates Megan Selzer and Mandy Selzer. By Kelly Running The Carlyle Curling Club is very excited to be hosting the Carlyle Merit Ford Sales Saskatchewan Women’s Curling Tour within the Saskatchewan Women’s Curling Tour (SWCT) on Dec. 5 to 7. The Observer was able to speak with Kristen Mitchell, one of the chairs of the event. “The bonspiel is being held by the Carlyle Curling Club and its board of Directors. Chairs of the event are myself and Natalie Bloomfield,” Mitchell explained. Together they have been working towards this event since this past spring and are excited for it as Mitchell says everyone has been wonderful in making the bonspiel a reality. “Lots of support and help from all board members [has been beneficial] as well as [the willingness of the] curling club members who will volunteer throughout the weekend mainly posting line scores online on the CurlSask website.” This was to be expected, however, as Mitchell stated the support of curling in the area is phenomenal: “The culture of curling in Carlyle is wonderful. We have a strong junior program, fun Monday and Thursday night leagues and a senior league twice a week. We have numerous fun bonspiels throughout the season as well.” “Our curling club relies heavily (so far this season 100 percent) on volunteers. It takes many hours each week to prepare the ice just for regular league games that are played. Installing of the ice each fall is all volunteers and it is a long couple of weeks for all the board members and community volunteers who lend a helping hand. We have great ice too!” It’s these positive experiences and community togetherness that the Carlyle Curling Club promotes which helped inspire Bloomfield and Mitchell to host an event of this magnitude. “Natalie and myself curl on competitive ladies curling teams,” Mitchell explained. “We spend many weekends in the winter travelling a far distance to attend competitive bonspiels and we thought it would be fun and convenient to host one in our home community for once.” This led the women to approach the SWCT committee at the end of last year’s curling season in order to host the bonspiel. Approved, organization quickly took place and now Carlyle is looking forward to hosting 12 of Saskatchewan’s top women’s teams. “It is the last bonspiel on the SWCT circuit for the 2014/2015 curling season,” Mitchell explained. “Tour

Novice Cougars (Kirk) see tournament action Carissa Faber Sports Contributor Kirk’s novice cougars travelled to Whitewood for a tournament on the weekend. Three games were played. First was a team from Whitewood. It was a very close game with Whitewood coming out as the victors by one goal. Next a team from Yorkton. The cougars defeated them in another close game. Then we took on another Whitewood team with the Cougars victorious in this one as well. The kids had a great weekend of hockey.

spiels have qualifying teams earn points towards earning a spot in the Scotties Provincial Curling Championship. So, it could be exciting and intense for some teams who are in the running for this provincial spot being the last bonspiel on the circuit to earn these points!” Not only is it exciting for Carlyle to be hosting an event such as this, it will also be supporting local curlers in their attempt to advance in the curling tour. Mitchell of Kenosee Lake curls on Mandy Selzer’s team, while Bloomfield of Carlyle curls with Lana Vey’s team. Additionally Mitchell says the community can look forward to other teams including Eberle, Englot, Fleming, Hanson, Inglis, Just, Peterson, Roy, Tisdale, and Williamson. Though the final draw is yet to be determined, it will be set up by Monday (Nov. 24) or Tuesday (Nov. 25). The event however is expected to begin Friday evening on Dec. 5 at 5 p.m., though it may begin a little later. “We have decided not to charge entry fee into this event as all other events typically do this we wanted to keep volunteer duties at a minimum for our first event due to it being a busy weekend in Carlyle with the Dickens Festival,” Mitchell said. “If you are interested in coming out to watch some games please pop into the curling rink whenever throughout the weekend as you will enjoy the free admission. The bar will be having some drink specials as well.” With Carlyle hosting both the bonspiel and Dickens Festival it is a unique way to showcase the community. “We look forward to showing off our community to the 48 curlers who will be visiting our town on this fun weekend!” Mitchell exclaimed. “We cannot thank the volunteers enough, without them we would have no curling club in the community at all and it is such a great sport!”

Advance voting will take place on Friday, the 5th day of December, 2014, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the R.M. Office in Kisbey, Saskatchewan. Dated at Kisbey, Saskatchewan this 7th day of November, 2014. Treena Heshka (Returning Officer)

Christmas Hampers!

The 2014 season for the Saskatchewan Roughriders came to a painful conclusion on Sunday with an 18-10 loss to the Edmonton Eskimos in the Western Semifinal at Commonwealth Stadium before a paltry crowd of 26,237. Any season-ending game is painful unless you win it, which means you’ve won the championship, but Sunday’s was particularly hard to swallow for Canada’s Team because it was there for the taking. Quarterback Kerry Joseph unexpectedly served up five interceptions and the Riders lost the sack battle 7-3 however remarkably they were still in the game until the final couple minutes. The backbreaker was an 84-yard punt return touchdown by Edmonton’s Kendial Lawrence with 6:20 to go in the first half. Perhaps it wasn’t even the back-breaker, but it accounted for the winning points and the Saskatchewan Roughriders were sent into the off-season without much warning. No one was prepared for the season to end so early. With four Grey Cup appearances over the past seven years, you kind of expect to be in the dance every season. But maybe we were kidding ourselves to think there was still hope of repeating as Grey Cup champions even after Darian Durant went down with injury on September 7. Inexplicably, the whole team sagged at that point losing seven of its final

nine games including Sunday’s playoff encounter. It will haunt the Roughriders over the next six months; how could one player’s absence affect the entire unit so badly? I’m assuming if the coaches had the answer, they would have come up with it over those final two months. And perhaps it was too much to ask of 41-year old Kerry Joseph to come out of retirement and try to lead this team to its fifth Grey Cup title having only signed on October 9. Sunday was Joseph’s seventh career playoff start but he looked like a rookie and privately admitted afterwards he wasn’t entirely comfortable with the offense and could have used more practice reps during the week of preparation. Joseph said that would be his last game. He doesn’t want to play anymore. What a way to go out. The same goes for the Roughriders who – after digesting this difficult loss – will begin picking up the pieces and chart a plan to move forward. But this particular football game in Edmonton will always be remembered as the one that got away. “We had a chance to win that game but they are a high-powered team and they smothered us in a couple phases,” Rider coach Corey Chamblin said afterwards “They won. “Defense played hard. They were strong and didn’t give up. In the end we didn’t get it done and whenever you lose a turn-

over battle like that, you won’t win. It should’ve been a blowout. We held them to three at times and we were real strong there.” There are plenty of questions to be answered by Roughrider G.M. Brendan Taman regarding his roster heading into 2015, most notably at quarterback. Kerry Joseph won’t be back but Darian Durant certainly will along with back-ups Tino Sunseri, Seth Doege and Keith Price. There’s room for them all to return but have they used up their chances? Likely not. Some Rider players will tell you it wasn’t just Durant’s injury which chopped their legs out midway through the season. Injuries to special teams aces like Neal Hughes and Scott McHenry coupled with the departures of Graig Newman and Craig Butler left a gaping hole in that phase of the game. There are plenty of holes to be filled and Chamblin knows it. “I thought we overachieved,” Chamblin said when asked to reflect on the year. “I thought we were an average team coming out of training camp but they fought like hell to get to the Grey Cup. They just came up eight points shy.” Rider legend Roger Aldag always said in Saskatchewan there are two seasons: Rider season and winter. Hello winter.

By Kelly Running Carlyle is about to be transported back into the Victorian era once again, with the 12th annual Dickens Village Festival being held on Friday, Dec. 5, and Saturday, Dec. 6. Shelley Slykhuis, the event chair, is looking forward to another year and is especially excited

for being able to spread the word about the festival even further. “A couple came last year and encouraged me to advertise on the Yorkton radio station ROCK 98.5,” Slykhuis explained. “So, I emailed them and they had not heard of our festival.” This led to the excitement of a radio interview Archive photo

high tea coupons donated by the United Church ladies and the Catholic Church donated four cups of chowder,” Slykhuis stated. This prize goes to show the level of community togetherness that the Dickens Festival thrives on and is one of the main reasons it has been so successful. Slykhuis enjoys encouraging everyone to enjoy the festival and is therefore going to be wearing her costume to the interview. Additionally Sheila and Katie Menard will join Slykhuis in Estevan on Wednesday, Nov. 19 to give a presentation to the Christian Women’s After 5 Club in Estevan. “Our advertising is spreading and hopefully new people and the regulars come for a fun family oriented festival!” Slykhuis exclaimed. With an expectation of having more people come to enjoy the festival the committee is encouraging people to decorate their homes and store fronts immediately. “There will be three buses coming to shop on Nov. 21 and 22, and Nov. 28 and 29. Having our community all decked out, what an awesome way to welcome shoppers!” Slykhuis stated. “There will be a bus of 65 women coming on Friday, Dec 5. They will be participating in our festival activities.” Not only is it exciting to have the town decked out in holiday decorations, but there annual decorating contest is a fun way the committee continues to encourage the community to embrace the festival. The judging of the contest will occur between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 4. Other old favourites will be back with entertainment at Fezziwig’s Pub (Memorial Hall), Tiny Tim’s Taster Tour, carriage rides with Edna and Herman Fornwald, four different craft markets, High Tea at the United Church, Cornerstone Family and Youth’s Festival of Trees, the delicious food sold by vendors which make the perfect snack during the lighted parade.

From page 16 - Dickens The Cornerstone Theatre performers will be putting on a variant of “A Christmas Carol,” with Mackenzie Easton’s imagined performance based on the classic titled, “A Community Christmas Carol.” Breakfast with Santa will again be hosted on the Saturday morning with Food Bank donations being collected, which will be followed by the Children’s Version of a Christmas Carol read by Diane Twietmeyer and Barb Haddow. Magician Patrick Roth will perform at 1 p.m. on the Saturday and will be joined by pictures with Santa between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. that will be taken by the Carlyle Chamber of Commerce. “Last year we had Santa day during Dickens. It was Saturday afternoon in the hall. It worked well...” Slykhuis explained. Joining these classic features will be the new carriage display in West Park, which Slykhuis is excited about: “The structure is done, now to prep the inside. The finished display will house a life size horse with harness, carriage, and winter decorations (Christmas trees, lights and white stone representing snow).” This will be a perma-

nent display to remind visitors to Carlyle about the community festival. Though a decorating coordinator has not been found for this year the committee would appreciate any help the community can give to pull the town together. The Dickens Committee is looking for carollers to take sing between 4 p.m. And 6 p.m. each day. “Just gather a group and sing! On the street and in stores. We do have a booklet of carols that will be at the informational table in the hall,” Slykhuis explained. With the last few years being quite cold out, a member of the Knights of Columbus has built a warming structure. It will be placed near the Royal Bank both nights where people can warm up their hands between 4 p.m. And 8 p.m. Though there are no new characters this year, a variety of costumes will be made available to borrow between Nov. 25 and 26 between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. for the festival from the CYC office. “There are no new characters this year though there are thoughts of incorporating Charles Dickens’ son. He came to Canada and joined the North West Mounted Police.”

OBSERVER AGRICULTURE New ideas needed to move forward By Calvin Daniels So last week I started what became a two-part column around how stuck in old ideas the broader agricultural industry when it comes to fixing the long term problems associated with rail transportation of grain from the Canadian Prairies. Regular readers will recall the Grain Millers Harvest Showdown Grains Expo held a panel discussion of grain transportation. The panel was made up of people representing various sectors of the grain industry. It was an opportunity to hopefully here some fresh ideas about how to address the transportation problem long term. But for the most part they did not offer a lot new, or innovative, as was the case with the suggestion we needed a more vibrant livestock sector to consume more grain here. Sadly, that ship has sailed as we have basically exported processing, feeding, and backgrounding south of the border. So what other ideas came forward from the panel? There was of course talk of short line rail, which seems like such a good idea because it keeps grain off the road system, but the forced movements of the past

issue would help movements of grain south. That may well be true, but we well know farmers haven’t exactly had a lot of impact of changing rail service in this country, so the likelihood we can influence American systems is rather thin. And of course there was a suggestion farmers write to their MPs. It would be nice to believe that has a huge impact on government. It would be nice to believe in Santa Claus too. But the reality is Prairie MPs fill a House of Commons whose ruling party is decided elsewhere. It is also true farm votes are now a small percentage of even Prairie seat votes. Now these two columns may come off as harsh against what the panelists offered, and in a way it should. I respect everyone has an opinion of what is needed in grain transportation, so I accept the suggestions on that level. But sadly, they are ideas offered repeatedly through the years to little, if any affect. What is needed are new ideas to move the system forward, and in that regard the panel missed a chance to float some nouvel, even radical ideas, for discussion.

year had the two big rail lines focused on hitting targets, and basically forgetting the needs of short lines. It was the same with producer cars, a great idea, especially in monster yield years where producers have the product to fill cars, but again getting cars through CP and CN was at best a challenge. And then out came the suggestion of greater use of the Port of Churchill. I have been at Yorkton This Week for a quarter of a century, and have heard the rationale for using the northern port ever since arriving here, since nowhere on the Prairies is the port a closer option than this region. But if the argument for using the Port has been made for 25 years, and it goes back further than that, and it has not led to greater usage, it is unlikely it will happen. The season is short, even with better ice breakers, the grain companies have vested interests in other facilities, and the line is not suited to current loads, to mention a few obstacles to expanded usage. In the end it is not part of a transportation solution for the current era. It was also pointed out Chicago is a veritable choke point for rail service heading south, and that solving that

By Lynne Bell Maryfield School’s graduating class of 2015 want to wish area shoppers a Merry Christmas while earning themselves a great graduation celebration. Proceeds from the town’s annual Maryfield Christmas Craft Sale will help finance the Class of 2015’s graduation activities, according to organizer Shirley Campbell of Fairlight. “We’ve had the sale for about 15 years,” she says. “And for the last four or five years, we’ve had the graduating classes come and help. They get the proceeds from the table rentals once we’ve paid the hall and we raffle prizes which are donated. The kids get that money, too.” Maryfield school teacher and graduation advisor, April Dirksen says, “For the most part, this year’s class is unique, in that they’re trying to accomplish all of their grad fundraising within the year. In the past, classes have usually had more time. They’re a great bunch to work with, and I know they’ll work hard.” Campbell agrees. “The kids work really hard.With the help of Sharon Thiessen and April Dirksen, they come in on Friday and set everything up,” she says. “They’re in early on Saturday to help our vendors set up and carry things in and once the sale starts, they’ll help with anything they’re needed for. They’ll help people carry things out to their cars, they’ll help elderly people

get in and out of the hall; that kind of thing. They also take everything down and clean up after it’s all over.” “They’re always a great group of kids; we’ve never had a bad group,” adds Campbell. Campbell says this year’s version of the annual event “has a lot of new vendors, which is different.” “We have 35 tables and they’ve been sold out for a while. We have some returning favourites, but we also have a lot of new vendors. In addition to crafts and sewing, we have some new products. We have a booth selling FIRMA Energy Wear, which is a really popular clothing line and Younique 3D Fiber Lashes Mascara, which I’ve seen sell like hotcakes. We’re even going to have sparkle tattoos and a photobooth.” “We’ll have raffle prizes, door prizes and lunch, which is soup and a bun or homemade perogies and cabbage rolls,” adds Campbell. “It should be a great day and by attending, it also helps the kids who are working the sale to earn their graduation. They work really hard for it. We welcome people to our annual Christmas Craft Sale and we welcome the opportunity to help the 11 kids from the Class of 2015 earn their graduation.” Maryfield’s Christmas Craft Sale is on Saturday, Dec. 6 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. in the lower auditorium of the at Maryfield Theatre.

Remembrance Day Thank you to the Carlyle Elementary School for hosting the Elementary and High School Remembrance Day Service this year. Through song, art work, and tribute, the students were reminded of the important meaning of this special day. “Lest We Forget.” The Sr Boys’ Volleyball Team played in Carnduff on the weekend and the Sr Girls’ Volleyball Team played here in Carlyle. Though both teams were eliminated, they had good games and great seasons. A huge thanks to Mr. Birch and Katie Mathewson for coaching the boys and Lorrie Lequyer for coaching the girls. The junior and rookie teams had their playoffs last week. We are proud of all of the GFK teams who represented their school so well. The Junior girls’ team finished 2nd in the division and the 2 rookie girls’ teams played each other in the final to finish 1st and 2nd. Another huge thanks to our rookie and junior coaches, Mrs. Beaver, Mrs. Sargent, Micky Adams, Mr. Johnson, Kayla Nelson, Jaida

Schutz, and Jordan Gudmundson. Anyone interested in coaching curling at the school please contact Mr. Birch. The annual band concert will be held on Monday, November 24, at 7 pm. The Cosmetology Club continues to meet 2 days a week after school. The Science Club continues to meet one day a week after school. Semester 1 / Term 1 Report Cards were handed out on Friday, November 14th. If you did not receive one, please contact the school. There is no school on Friday, November 21. Anyone who is interested in advertising on the school’s virtual signs should contact Mr. Howe at the school. For all of your Gordon F. Kells news and updates, check out the virtual signs or visit our school blog at gfkells.wordpress.com!

Wawota News Colleen Form, Ashton and Jesse from Paradise Hill, AB Spent a couple of days visiting with Trevor and Christa Pryce and family and Norman Meyers. Overnight visitors with Eileen Shatford recently were her daughter and son-in-law, Ken and Donna Burnett from Regina. The Remembrance Service in Wawota was well attended. Three members of the Cadet program aided in laying of the wreaths namely, Parker Weatherald, Marissa Charles and Dagan Brisbois. At the following noon meal the Legion Scholarship and Bursary was awarded to 2014 grade 12 graduate, Victor Heindrichs. The Scholarship is funded by the Local Legion Branch and the Bursary is funded by the poppy Fund and they are each $500.00. Jim and Bernice Duke from Regina visited with Lil Myers at Deer View Lodge and other family members. Jim and Josephine Easton attended their niece’s funeral in Regina on November 13th. She was Larry and Dorothy Easton’s step-granddaughter. They stopped in White City and had supper with Ryan Easton and daughters. Congratulations to Dave and Heather Yanko of Regina on the birth of their son on Nov. 11. He weighed 8lbs 4 oz and has been named Nolton David. Last Friday and Saturday two bus loads of the pink

Kennedy News The weather may have been a little chilly on Sunday, Nov. 16th but the atmosphere in the Kennedy Hall was warm and friendly. When word spread around the Village that Mr. and Mrs. Hodgins, long time residents of Kennedy were moving to Manitoba, David and Heather McMillan thought it would be great to have a farewell party for them. Since the Hodgins were great supporters of the Kennedy Old Time Dance Club music came to the minds of the McMillan’s (they also love their music). Immediately the Happy Wanderers were contacted and other folks from the area, everyone agreed and were very excited about being part of the celebration. I might say there were more people on the stage than there was on the dance floor. The small children (9 and under) certainly enjoyed the music and had a great time dancing?? That is the time to learn. Approximately 150 people gathered to bid George and Eleanor farewell. Friends from many parts of Saskatchewan travelled for the event. David McMillan was master of ceremonies, after some time of dancing and visiting the program began with Juanita Armstrong bringing greetings from the Village of Kennedy and presented the Hodgins with a very nice certificate. Lorna Dorrance spoke on behalf of the Kennedy Friendship Center, Don Toth spoke on behalf of the Sask. Government, Rev. Barbara Wilkins brought greetings from the United Church and Ellen Bygdin spoke on behalf of the family. A lovely lunch was supplied by the Recreation Board which was enjoyed by all while visiting. A purse of money was given to George and Eleanor at the closing of the day. We wish you much happiness in your new home. During the week Bernie Hodgins and his wife Grace of Vancouver spent four days with George and Eleanor Hodgins, their son Bruce and daughter Ellen have been here for the past week helping with the preparation of moving.

scarf ladies came to Wawota to check the town out and do a bit of shopping. The businesses involved in this promotion are Front Street Interiors, Grammie’s Gift Emporium and Kings. Happy anniversary to Arnold and Katie Bunz (both residents of Deer View Lodge) who have been married 64 years as of Nov. 7! Congratulations on reaching this milestone! The Scotia Bank Giller Prize Award was presented at a banquet last Monday night. This is an award given to a Canadian author of a novel or short stories published in English the previous year. Jack Rabinowitch a Toronto bussinessman created this award in 1994 to honor his late wife, Doris Giller who was the literary editor of the Toronto Star. . The three member panel awarded the $100,000 prize to Sean Michaels, a first time writer for his book , “ US Conductors”. I just read this book and found it to be an interesting story about Levi Theremin, a Russian scientist who invented the theremin. The thereim produces music from electronic circuits as the player moves his hand through the air in front of the antenna. I had never heard of it before and enjoyed the history behind the story. Some of the story was fiction as Michaels added some parts and embellished on others. It was my favourite among the five out of six books that were nominated and that I have read!

Enbridge donates $10,000 to the Redvers Health Foundation Enbridge is proud to support the Redvers Health Foundation Inc. with a donation of $10,000 towards the purchase of new TeleHealth equipment for the Redvers Hospital, which is anticipated to be opening in November. TeleHealth equipment will enable doctors and nurses at the new hospital to expand their access to resources and provide the best patient care possible. A cheque was presented to the Foundation at the 17th annual Redvers Health Foundation Fundraiser on Saturday, October 18, 2014. “We are pleased to support the Redvers Health Foundation because they help keep our community safe and healthy,” said Jeff Yanko, community relations advisor with Enbridge. “The new equipment will ensure physicians and nurses have the best resources available to provide patients with the effective care they need.” The new TeleHealth equipment will allow an expanded standard of care for Redvers residents and streamlined access to resources comparable to large health care facilities. The Redvers Health Foundation Inc. assists in the provision of health services within the Redvers and district area. “The Redvers and District Community Health Foundation would like to thank Enbridge for their donation,” said Michael Garnier, chairperson for the Foundation. “These funds will go towards the upgrading of our TeleHealth system in our clinic and hospital.

The cenotaph at Kenosse Lake on Remembrance Day 2014.

Kenosee Lake News Four Seasons pot luck in the Village of Kenosee Lake was on Nov. 5, about 30 people ate fab food!! Helpers were Ruth Biberdorf, Kathy Lawless, Elinor Pearson, (Sylvia Brodiak unable to be there) . And there is more! In the sink AFTER the meal were at least TWO SWEETIES helping with washing and drying of extra dishes! Four Seasons member, Margaret Husband, had cheerfully collected names and the items they would help contribute for the repast at the church after the ceremony after remembrance Day – it was all for the luncheon at MMCofC after the Remembrance Service at the Cenotaph in the park.

on the items on display. The Four Seasons six Needlecraft members met on Nov. 5 over coffee and finally six again on Nov. 12 most with needles in hand and poised over the quilt. It was decided to go for lunch together next week as too many had, as my husband used to say, “. . . . a busy-on!” It seemed everyone had a ‘busy-on’! Remembrance Day was a terrific success at the Cenotaph in Moose Mountain Provincial Park November 11. Kenosee Lake’s success on Remembrance Day was a combination of people doing assigned jobs from the Moose Mountain Provincial Park, people in the Village of Kenosee Lake and others very involved in the preparation of the sandwiches, soups, and desserts coming to fruition in the Moose Mountain Church of Christ in the village after the Remembrance Day Ceremony in Moose Mountain Provincial Park at the Cenotaph led in no small part by Park Supervisor Joan Adams surrounded by her family for the Remembrance Day Ceremony.
