By Kelly Running Vivid Crystal Tattoo Studio and Shoppe, based in Stoughton, is promoting a tattooing community in the area through inviting guest artists to the shop. Recently Tom Cookson spent some time in the area. A young artist from England, Cookson enjoyed two-months of life in southeastern Saskatchewan.

Cookson, 26, arrived at the beginning of September. Having studied art at university, Cookson started out holding exhibits and doing commissioned works, but found it wasn’t a reliable source of income.

“I’d go months without selling anything,” Cookson explained.

“I’d hold an exhibition, get really excited, but not sell anything. Tattooing was a good way to create a career from what I was doing.”

“It’s a lot less isolated too, you’re not in your studio by yourself, and you meet new people every day.”

Having started in November of 2011, Cookson has now had three years of experience at a job he loves; a job that allows him to travel and work.

“I started in England, and then went to a shop in Florida. That’s where I met Crystal, we kept in touch, and she said if I ever came to Canada that I would be more than welcome.”

“That’s one of the best things about the job; it lets me travel pretty much anywhere and do it. You learn new styles and meet lots of people. It’s always different going home though because you meet so many people through work connections.”

The future for Cookson will see him coming back in the New Year, while he also plans to work in Europe a bit more as well.

While in Stoughton, Cookson was busy with about five or six tattoos a week.

“I really like black and grey realism, and dot work,” Cookson explained of his art.

Crystal Begin, owner of Vivid Crystal and tattoo artist, explained, “We don’t want to have someone come in and just give them anything, we want the artist to work with their strengths so the clients have something great after. We want our guest artist to be happy and we want our clients to be happy.”

Begin added that having Cookson in as a guest artist was a lot of fun and is a way for them to help build a tattooing community in the area.

“We loved having him here,” Begin said. “In the States, artists embrace each other and support each other, I really like that community.”

“We designed the studio to be comfortable for guest artists.

We’re set up with the best furniture, best products, and safety is important to us. So, we make sure the guests are comfortable and not stuck using crap. It’s comfortable for the clients as well; it’s kind of like being at home for the clients and artists.”

Moose Mountain Lodge Auxillary to hold inaugaural meeting Nov. 25

By Lynne Bell Bertha Isleifson has worked with seniors for nearly thirty years and says that no matter how old or even how ill someone is, their life has meaning and value; something she hopes to enhance and improve at Carlyle’s Moose Mountain Lodge, by forming an auxillary to benefit the facility and improve the daily lives of its residents.

“We have a wonderful facility here.

We have 40 full-time residents and two respite beds that are always full,” says Isleifson. “But there’s always room for improvement and there are always things that can improve the quality of life for our residents as well as providing things that are fun for them.”

“When I visited Redvers’ new home, I saw that they had a big hairdryer mounted on the wall, with a big arm. For our ladies who are in big [wheel]chairs, that would be such a nice thing for them and to make the experience of getting their hair done so much easier on them.”

“But it doesn’t always have to be a big thing like that. In Stoughton, there’s a breakfast club at their nursing home, where residents are treated to a breakfast of waffles with strawberries and whipped cream by a few ladies who come in. It just gives the residents a little something special to look forward to and it’s such a simple thing, but it really keeps them connected to

the community, which is so important.”

“I think our residents can get so cut off from the town and what’s going on, and it doesn’t take a lot to make a huge impact with them. One example is the Dickens Parade. They start the parade here and we line up the residents so everyone can see the lights. They appreciate it so much. It’s only about 10 minutes, but it’s huge.”

Isleifson was inspired to start an auxilary that could aid residents of Moose Mountain Lodge during Gentle Persuasive Approach (GPA) training.

“GPA is a way of helping people with dementia,” she says. “To simplify, it’s respecting them and letting them have their feelings. They often may act out something that is probably rooted in their past, for example. Because of their illness, we may never really understand where that’s coming from, but what we can do, is respect them and their concerns. We can also try and prevent them from becoming bored.

In all of us, boredom has the potential to lead us to constructive action or destructive action. We all look for excitement when we’re bored, and by adding things that are enjoyable and fun to the lives of our residents-whether they have dementia or not-we can make sure that their quality of life is better.”

“I’ve talked to different people and they’re very pumped about the idea of forming a Moose Mountain Lodge

auxillary group,” she says. “A few people have asked why the health region isn’t funding a lot of these things, but all I can say is that our budget only goes so far, and in the meantime, we could be working to add some simple pleasures to the lives of our residents.”

Currently, Isleifson’s wish list for the residents of Moose Mountain Lodge is m odest a nd a chievable.

“I’d like to spruce up our outdoor sitting area and I’d like to have our gazebo painted. I’d like to add to the wonderful volunteers who already come in to provide entertainment to our residents, as well as provide things for our residents like the hairdryer I saw in Redvers. Simple things, really.”

“There are so many wonderful charities both here at home and overseas that we all support, but if you have a loved one in the lodge, you know that it doesn’t take much to make a huge impact in our residents’ lives. They live in this community, and we want them to feel connected to their towns and to the larger world.”

“We realize that in our area, many people are very busy with work, so naturally, we welcome financial contributions if they can’t volunteer or make it out to a meeting.”

“But there are so many ways to contribute.

We need money for the projects we’d like to do, but we also need bodies to do the fun stuff, like a breakfast club, too.”

“A lot of people here helped to build our

Carlyle’s Bertha Isleifson is a licensed practical nurse and has worked in this area for 29 years, most of them at Moose Mountain Lodge. Isleifson is forming an auxillary to benefit the Lodge’s residents and is holding an informational neeting at Moose Mountain Lodge in Carlyle on Nov. 25 at 7 p.m. communities and make this area what it is today.

Here at Moose Mountain Lodge, we want to return the favour by making sure our residents’ lives

continue to have meaning and value. And besides, we all want to have fun.”

The inaugural meeting of the Moose Mountain Lodge Auxillary will be

held at Moose Mountain Lodge, 801 Souris Ave. West, Carlyle, Nov. 25 at 7 p.m. For more information, call Bertha Isleifson at 453-2322.

Continued from page 1 – Vivid Crystal The future for Vivid Crystal is focused on bringing in more guests artists, welcoming Cookson back in the New Year, and continuing to offer their services.

“Our foot is in the door with a few big name artists that we’re hoping to bring in, in the new year,” Begin explained.

“We’ll bring in artists from outside of Saskatchewan and give them more exposure. It also gives people around here a chance to get artwork done by a bigger name and experience something different.”

“Myself, I’m a tattoo collector. I like to support other artists by going to different people. I have a love for tattooing and encourage people to support other artists. In Canada it’s very competitive, but if you have a love of tattooing then you should support it as a whole… as

a supportive community.”

The future will continue to include Vivid Crystal’s dedication to clients: “We can do two tattoos a day, we don’t do more because we like to spend one on one time with our clients. For some we have designed their tattoo that day and we only charge for the actual tattooing, so it lets our clients come in, not be rushed, and be happy with the result because we took the time to work with them.”

“We try to make sure it’s relaxed and that there’s no pressure because getting a tattoo can be stressful enough, so we try to keep the stress out of it.”

Begin and DixonWright encourage people in the area to stop by and say hi, while checking out all they have to offer in the retail shop. Also find them on Facebook at Vivid Crystal for photos of their work.

Teagan Littlechief releases New Single

By Lynne Bell Whitebear’s Teagan Littlechief, 27, is returning to the spotlight with a new single, ‘I’ll Bring the Party’, after a hiatus which was mostly devoted to motherhood and a few high-profile gigs, such as opening for Canadian country stars, Emerson Drive, at the Bear Claw Casino last summer.

The mother of three-year-old Gabriel recorded the song at Calgary’s MCC Recording Studios with producer Johnny Gasparic, whom she has worked with before.

The song, by Canadian songwriter Terry Fernihough, is “an upbeat party anthem”, according to Littlechief.

“This single is so fun,” she says. “I want everybody to listen to it. It’s a really great song. When my husband (Eric Redwood), Gabriel, and I went to Calgary this past August so I could record it, I thought it would take days, but it didn’t. The song just clicked and it only took a few hours to record.”

The release is something of a relaunch for Littlechief, since she became a mom. “I recorded ‘Help You Cry’ when I was pregnant,” she laughs. “But this was the first song I’ve recorded since I had Gabriel. Recording again was kind of like riding a bike, but I was still happy that it went so well.”

“I love this song and I love recording. It’s always hard getting music you really have a feel for and when I got this song from Terry, I clicked with it right away.

I’ve worked with Johnny a few years ago and we work well together, so that helped. ” “I love singing and when I’m performing, I’ll often take requests,” says Littlechief. “But when I choose a song to record, I sort of base my life on it. I ask myself: ‘Is this going to be the right one?’”

“Since I became friends with (songwriter) Troy Kokol, I get pitched a lot of songs by a lot of different writers. But I try and pick songs that have real meaning to me, no matter what type of song it is.”

Littlechief says that she is actively working towards financing and recording an album, and welcomes opportunities to perform.

“I’m looking for sponsors right now,” she says.

“Along with putting an album out, I’m looking forward to performing again.”

“The single should be up and available any day now,” says Littlechief. “People will be able to hear it at CDBaby.com and iTunes, as well as on my website, www.teaganlittlechief.com.”

For bookings, visit www.teaganlittlechief.com or call (306) 515-2142.

Myrna Shaw receives SYA Championship Award

By Lynne Bell Myrna Shaw of Carlyle was honoured for her work with hundreds of high school students seeking careers in the trades at the 2014 Apprenticeship Awards Ceremony at Regina’s Conexus Arts Centre on Oct. 24. Shaw, a career counsellor at five schools within the South East Cornerstone School Division, received the SYA (Saskatchewan Youth Apprenticeship Champion) Award, simply says, “I love my job. I love meeting the kids. I love working with the kids.”

Shaw’s 25-year career in education led her to career counselling a decade ago at what was then the SourisMoose Mountain School Division. Now, as part of the South East Cornerstone School Division, her half-time position requires her to advise high school students from grades 10-12 at schools in Carlyle, Maryfield, Moosomin, Rocanville, and Wawota.

“I advise the kids to have a Plan A and a Plan B,” says Shaw. “When I was growing up, the options [for me] were either to become a nurse or a teacher. Now, kids coming up will change jobs at least four times-and some of those jobs aren’t even here yet.”

“In grade 10, we start out with them doing an inventory of their personal interests. By the time they’re in grade 12, it’s mandatory. They have to sit there and listen to me,” she laughs.

“Whatever their aspirations are, I work with them,” Shaw says. “But I received this award because I’m all over the trades and the youth apprenticeship programs. If kids are even thinking of going through to learn a trade, there are tons of programs, opportunities and scholarships. Last year, three of our grade 12 students, Evan Anderson from Carlyle, Mac Kay from Maryfield, and Victor Heinrichs from Wawota, received trades scholarships.”

Darcy Howe, vice-principal at Gordon F. Kells High School in Carlyle, says of Shaw: “She works very hard getting the kids into the Youth Apprenticeship Program and she’s also helped set up the kids in the Apprenticeship Program. It’s a great option, because kids can earn credits in school and get paid, while working towards a career. We’re sitting here in the oil patch where trades

(l-r) Myrna Shaw, Jill Konkin, Natalie Chupik, Sharon Ermel and Youth Apprenticeship Manager, Paul Blankestijin. are needed and Myrna’s been instrumental in making kids aware of how they can get into the trades and into careers.”

“It’s very good that she’s been pushing this.”

Even though she’s received provincial recognition for her work, Shaw says that her job is the real reward, and it continues to provide her with challenges and satisfaction.

“Right now, Saskatchewan is so busy, with so many new people. We are welcoming students from all over the world, and with that, we’re helping them with their English-language skills, as well as the school and career counselling that we always do.”

“It’s never boring. I love my job, and it’s great when a former student comes up to me and tells me that they’re in a career they love.”

OBSERVER OPINION Two minutes

By Shelley Luedtke

I

t took one minute and 40.91seconds for David Rudisha of Kenya to capture the Olympic gold medal and set a new world record in the 800 m in London 2012. Chairman of the London organizing committee Sebastian Coe remarked, “Rudisha’s run will go down in history as one of the greatest Olympic victories.

I feel privileged to have witnessed it in London.” The two minutes Rudisha spent running in the Olympic final was the culmination of the weeks, months and years of training that were done in preparation but it was the two minutes on the public stage that Olympic fans will remember.

Abraham Lincoln delivered one of the most famous speeches ever given by an American president in the form of the Gettysburg Address in 1863.The nation-changing speech was less than 300 words and delivered in just over two minutes. The time spent presenting the speech could happen only after hours and hours were spent writing, honing and crafting the words to share at such a pivotal point in history.

A two-minute commercial break goes pretty quickly if you are trying to grab a snack or get a task done before your favourite TV show resumes. Two minutes in an asthma attack stretches out endlessly if someone is waiting for their medication to help them breathe again. Two minutes…a stepping stone to glory…a revolutionary vision...a blink of the eye…endless…it all depends on the situation.

The idea of observing two minutes of silence on Remembrance Day was first suggested by journalist Edward George Honey and embraced by King George V who issued a proclamation that: “at the hour when the Armistice comes into force, the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, there may be for the brief space of two minutes a complete suspension of all our normal activities. All locomotion should cease, so that, in perfect stillness, the thoughts of everyone may be concentrated on reverent remembrance of the glorious dead.”

As we attend services on November 11 we will be asked to observe two minutes of silence. Two minutes of quiet to remember…to reflect…to recognize the fallen. It is such a small measure of time; the time it takes to make coffee, or feed the pets, or find a snack. Two minute intervals can go by in a heartbeat unnoticed, unremarkable, and unexamined. But these two minutes on this one day each year should be, by intent... different.

In the course of a typical day an average adult spends 67 minutes eating, 101 minutes driving, 119 minutes on a smartphone, 97 minutes with a significant other, 166 minutes watching TV and 19 minutes reading. We do a lot of different things with our time. But on November 11 we will be asked to do something not in keeping with how our culture currently operates. We will be encouraged to be still, to stand in silence to convey what there are no words for.

The two minutes don’t come close to the hours, days, weeks, months and years soldiers spent crouched in fox holes, positioned on the front lines, shivering in the cold, missing their loved ones, caring for the injured, and burying the dead. I don’t understand the pain, the sacrifice, the fear or the courage it took but I can pay tribute to it now.

Two minutes of my time to reflect on the lives of the thousands whose names I do not know and whose stories I have never heard. Two minutes to quietly demonstrate what volumes of histories and reels of archive have attempted to convey.

What can be accomplished in two minutes? Anything from sweeping up Cheerios to setting world records. Two minutes observed in silence may put all the other minutes in perspective as we recognize that because of what those soldiers did, we get to decide what we do with all those other minutes. That’s my outlook.

The difficulties of integrating into a country

By Kelly Running

I

’ve written in the past about tolerance and respect, though I’ve never had the right way to put this before.

The other day I was reading through Facebook posts and came across one cartoon. The split picture had the top one showing a Caucasian male eating a sandwich outside of a mosque. The line read, “If I visited your mosque without taking my shoes off and eating a bacon sandwich you’d say I was intolerant of other cultures and traditions.”

The bottom picture was of three individuals standing near the parliament buildings in London with niqab’s on. That photo read, “So what makes you think you can live in our country and have no respect or tolerance for our culture and traditions by not integrating?”

Canada is multi-cultural, I fully believe this, but there are some laws like needing to be able to see someone’s face in court which just makes sense.

This, however, for a female Muslim may be considered taboo, but it is a law in Canada and therefore has to be abided by.

My grandma is originally from Holland and understands that Canada is a melting pot; she’s very proud to be from Holland, but at the same time

she is a proud Canadian. She doesn’t wear her wooden shoes around and has decided that being a Dutch Canadian comes with abiding by Canadian law, while celebrating her culture through food, displaying her Dutch heritage at home, and has participated in culture days where she has dressed in Dutch attire right down to wooden shoes.

Canada is a place for cultures to be celebrated but within the laws of the country.

After all if we were to go to another country and disrespect their laws they would be offended. For example, if I were to travel to the United Arab Emirates, I would research their laws, which after a quick Google search came up with the avoidance of physical contact in public including something as simple as holding hands. While a law in one Emirate law states that the possession of pork is illegal.

Now I don’t trust everything on the internet, I’ve been taught to think critically of the sites I get my information from. These seemingly odd laws to us, ones that we would have to follow there, actually came from the Government of Canada website on travel.

In reality there are weird laws everywhere, or laws we consider weird at least, though they might not be to the residents there. Alligator thieves in Louisiana can be charged with

10 years in prison and a $3,000 fine; while bear wrestling, charging admission to a bear wrestling match or training a bear to wrestle as a felony in Alabama. Running out of gas on the Autobahn and using the emergency lane is also illegal.

Each country, even just provinces or states, have odd laws, but they’re laws that have to be abided by and ultimately it’s a double standard to expect us to bend ours while we are expected to follow those of other countries.

Usually our culture is about being sorry, we apologize as Canadians constantly. We walk on eggshells and worry about offending people, which for the most part we go too far out of our ways. I’m one of those people who apologize when someone else runs into me, which is stereotypically Canadian and from the stereotypes I’ve heard I’m actually proud of them. But to be proud of being Canadians we need to keep our culture and stand up for ourselves because other countries are allowed to yet when we do it’s considered wrong.

I’m not saying anyone is better than another. I’m just saying if I were to move to another country I would pay attention to their unique culture and traditions, while attempting to find that balance which would allow me to remain a proud Canadian as well as fit in, in a new country.

OBSERVER LIFESTYLES Pause for

By Ken Rolheiser www.kenrolheiser.com Reflection It’s still a wonderful life and how we change history I met a really old man the other day. I asked him, “How old are you?”

“Well,” he said. “I was alive when the Dead Sea was just a lake that was feeling a little poorly.”

I’ve been writing these articles long enough to notice that some themes are dear to my heart. This article follows two earlier entitled “It’s a wonderful life” Part 1 and 2.

There is a risk in repetition, though I do not worry about my readership. “People have an annoying habit of remembering things they shouldn’t,” Christopher Paolini said. But Churchill said, “History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.”

Whether we know it or not, God has given us a key role as His Kingdom unfolds. “Simply by being who you are, you are changing history.

Your words, your actions, your demeanor are helping to shape other people and their perception of the Lord. Even your prayers are changing the world” (from The Word Among Us October 2014).

We may have the tendency to dwell on our faults and doubt God’s plans for us, the annoying habit of remembering what we shouldn’t, but God is writing our history.

Pope Francis in The Joy of the Gospel says, “To believe that the Holy Spirit is at work in everyone means realizing that he seeks to penetrate every human situation and all social bonds.”

Pope Francis reminds us that “evangelization is cooperating with this liberating work of the Spirit”.

Do we realize, every day, the impact our simple words and gestures have on those around us? Do we feel confident as we move through our lives in this body God has given us to serve?

And do we know that even when we are at rest the influence we have left with others carries on the wonderful work God intended it to?

In Philip Van Doren Stern’s It’s a Wonderful Life, George Bailey wishes he had never been born. After this wish comes true he sees a war hero who saves his men

and is awarded a medal does not exist because George was not there to save him from drowning in childhood. So the men die.

Another example is George’s wife who ends up a spinster librarian.

Their wonderful family does not exist. Then there is George’s business venture the Building and Loan that is endangered when $8,000 gets misplaced. Well, it’s a wonderful story which I don’t want to spoil.

George sees how different the world would be if he had never touched the lives of his family, friends and neighbours.

And you and I need to let ourselves become the instruments that God created us to be. This will change the world.

St Paul tells us in Ephesians 3: “I pray that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through the Holy Spirit… I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and height and depth… [and that] God who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish far more than we can ask or imagine”

Things left behind

By Linda Wegner A recent highlight of 2014 for Hubby and me was the visit of our sister-in-law and her three daughters. It’s been more than a decade since we last saw her and more years than that since we saw our nieces. The few days they spent with us were filled with joy, tears, laughter and more shopping trips than I can remember in the past ten years, let alone in four days. They left behind a big hole in our heart, a hole we are determined to refill by keeping in touch on a regular basis.

But one of those four left something else behind. Whether intention-

ally or not, I became the possessor of a lovely gift of delightfully delicate Vanilla Body Wash. It’s so subtle that no one has mentioned “a fragrance” (and believe me, I’m very conscious of not bringing discomfort to those who suffer from allergic reactions to fragrances). It’s just plain soothing. While I am not in the habit of treating myself to such things, I admit I am thoroughly enjoying the luxury of it all, enjoying soaking in the extravagance of kindness.

There are at least two scenarios to the matter of leaving things behind. It can be an forgotten item, an oversight precipitated

by a memory lapse at a busy time, or the execution of well-planned act.

Knowing these family members, I tend to think it was the latter; they are known for making regular deposits of kindness.

I have been blessed over the years by many people who not only demonstrate kindness on a regular basis, their presence is marked by an aura of love and grace.

“Now thanks be to God who always leads us to triumph in Christ and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.” 2 Corinthians 2:14 There’s no better gift!

Through the Lens

By Moose Mountain Photography Club Horses don’t speak, but they communicate through body language. If you look very closely, you’ll find out your horse has been trying to talk to you every day. ~ Hamdan Al Maktoum

Dear Ellen Dear Ellen, My child is being bullied at school, what can I do to help?

Worried Parent Dear Worried Parent, Being bullied is never a fun experience. If your child has told you that he/she is being bullied it is very important that you listen. Allow your child to tell you what is happening in their own words. Don’t respond by dismissing their experience as a part of ‘growing up’. What you do next is very important. Don’t rush out and demand to see the bully and his/her parents, chances are the bully and his/her parents will deny the incident and the bullies parents may display similar behaviours and the bullies behaviors may escalate. This may be the reaction your child fears and why they were reluctant to tell you in the first place.

Speak to a teacher with your child. Ask your child who they are most comfortable talking with. If you are not satisfied with the teacher’s response, don’t give up.

Don’t feel that you are being a trouble maker, or taking up the teacher’s time, you child’s welfare is important and if your child is being bullied, then other children are probably being bullied too. It is in the interest of the school, as well as your child, that you continue to inform the school of what is happening. If your concerns are dismissed, speak to a principal, a supervisor, Board of Directors or governing agency. Finally and most importantly, do the obvious. Tell your child they are okay and not the one with the problem. Tell them you love them and make their lives fun and enjoyable, it will help your child feel good about her/himself. Next week I will discuss specific actions that may help a child when approached by a bully. ***** For more information about the services we offer, please call the Envision Counselling and Support Centre in Weyburn at 842-8821 or Estevan 637-4004 or call our Abuse/Sexual Assault Line at 1-800-214-7083. You can also write a confidential question to a counsellor on website at envisioncounsellingcentre. com. If you would like to ask Ellen a question you may write to her at Box 1056 Weyburn, SK. S4H 2L3.

Parenting Tips from Regional KidsFirst – Positive parenting for toddlers Toddlers respond better to limits when they feel loved. Try talking to your toddler in a positive way.

Your toddler will be more likely to agree!

For example: Say this: Instead of: “Please close the door quietly” “Don’t slam the door” Setting limits…Toddlers want someone to set limits. It makes them feel secure and loved, and helps them to understand boundaries. Try to set rules that are: ● Simple

● ●

Easy to understand Consistent Work it out! Help her talk about her feelings and comfort her when she is upset. Explore different feelings through favourite books or through stories that you make up. Notice when your toddler is frustrated and step in to help her deal with her emotions. Move your toddler to a quiet place when she is having a hard time dealing with her emotions.

Caught you doing something good! Pay attention to good behaviour and tell

your toddler that you are proud of her. This helps to build her self-esteem.

Genuinely praise your toddler for the good things she does every day.

This will help her begin to: ● Develop social skills ● Feel good about herself ● Have a sense of belonging.

Remember ~ It’s important to give children positive goals to work towards instead of focusing on negative consequences to avoid.

Planned are a 15 and under team to get younger players interested in the sport as well as an 18 and under team allowing the core group of 17 and under girls to continue playing.

The first year the Vipers saw a lot of team building and skill development, the girls fought hard in the 17 and under category, despite mostly being a young team with only three girls needing to be in this age category.

In this past season, the Vipers again took to competing in the 17 and under category with the older players deciding not to continue with the team.

After the initial building season two years ago, the girls, consisting of veterans and new players,

were better prepared for the competition last season.

Though having difficulties holding onto their success at times the young athletes succeeded in bettering their standings following provincials, having gone from one of the bottom teams two years ago to middle of the pack last year, with potential to go further having defeated teams ranked in Tier One throughout the season.

They took part in both sanctioned and unsanctioned tournaments over the season as a way to gain as much experience on the court as possible. This led them to compete in a ladies tournament hosted in Arcola, both Sask Cups, the QCVC tournament, a home tournament, and a tournament in Langenburg before finally arriving at provincials.

Fighting hard the girls came up against tough teams and didn’t back down.

This year as the team enters the 18 and under

category, the coaching staff anticipates an even better season with the girls coming off their grade 12 year and looking to finish strong in the club season.

This coming season will also see a practice focused 15 and under team currently being organized to begin building younger players’ skills, while providing a local team for those in the southeast to play on.

Try-outs for the teams will be held on Sunday, Nov. 30. The 15 and under team will go at 10 a.m. and the 18 and under team’s tryouts will begin at 1 p.m.

Overall, the coaching staff wants to help foster a love for the sport in the area and give younger players the opportunity to participate in club volleyball.

Players who have previously played for the Vipers have come from Midale, Corning, Carlyle, Arcola, Fillmore, Wawota, Redvers, and Oxbow, with young women from other communities also showing interest.

Throughout the season the Vipers look for sponsors and hold fundraisers to alleviate costs associated with the team including hotel rooms, tournament entry fees, SVA fees, and uniforms. The generous community support and assistance from businesses has been and will continue to be appreciated by the team.

Rider Insider The Saskatchewan Roughriders have reached the final week of the 2014 regular season and they’ll conclude the 18-game schedule this Saturday when they host the Edmonton Eskimos (6:00 pm, TSN, CKRM Rider Radio Network).

Then it’s playoff time.

But what happens between now and semifinal weekend for the Roughriders has everybody guessing. I suspect even some of the Roughrider players are wondering too, along with the rest of the Canadian Football League.

It’s been eight weeks since star Rider quarterback Darian Durant tore a tendon in his right elbow on September 7 in Winnipeg. That cued an alarming tailspin which has seen Canada’s Team lose their past five straight games and six of seven since Durant went down.

Now the Rider Nation is abuzz since Durant is due to come back but one has to wonder if he’ll be back for this Saturday’s game (since he’s practiced only sporadically the past couple of weeks and not even thrown a pass in open workouts), or for the playoffs, or will he be shut down all together?

The Riders’ transaction on October 23 of placing Durant back on the six-game injured list certainly got tongues wagging but it was more of a clerical move than anything else.

“I think people probably read too much into that,” observed Riders Assistant GM Jeremy O’Day on 620 CKRM. “It appears that when something like that happens, it means automatically that he’s not available for any more games but that’s actually not the truth. We can pull any of the guys off the six-game injured list.

That’s just a worst case scenario. If he doesn’t recover the way we expect, then he stays on the six-game and it would impact the salary cap.

“By no means with us doing that does it mean Darian won’t play again this year.”

Cool. But that still gives us no indication when, or

if, Durant will be back this season as the club looks to repeat as Grey Cup champions for the first time in franchise history. When the team begins its practice week, perhaps we’ll get a better idea but it remains a closely-guarded secret.

Text inquiries to Rider players and staff regarding Durant’s status have gone unanswered. If they know, no one’s saying.

And now the Rider brass has a mammoth decision ahead of them. Is Durant at 75% better than his temporary replacement Kerry Joseph at 100%? Who gives them the best chance to win?

What’s in Darian’s best interests? A lot of Rider observers, mostly alumni I’ve spoken with, would like to see Durant shutdown for 2014. It’s pretty clear what he means to this franchise since his injury seems to have killed the whole unit. If he comes back early, and reinjures his throwing arm, what does that mean for the years ahead? That’s his moneymaker and we’ve now seen how hard it is to find a star quarterback in this league.

Furthermore if they left the decision up to Durant, he’ll want to play. It was painful to see him trotted out late in the 2011 season, with nothing to play for, while he suffered through a barrage of injuries as the team looked for meaningless wins near the end of a 5-13 campaign. He’s always going to want to play. That’s just the way Darian Durant is built. As a matter of fact he feels guilty being on the sidelines now.

So unfortunately this column has provided many more questions than it has answers but we’ll being finding out the solutions over the next couple of weeks.

Will the Green & White be in their fifth Grey Cup in eight seasons on November 30 in Vancouver or is this season going to fizzle out with a whimper?

Only the football gods know for sure.

Big Six hockey has begun. It will entertain crowds through to February when playoffs start.

The View from the desk of the CEO - Marga Cugnet – The value of vaccine PBS recently carried an interesting series on the American Roosevelts, the most famous of which was Franklin Delano, the president who served from a wheelchair. FDR encountered polio in the 1920s, at 39 years of age, at a time when the disease worried every parent but adults thought they were mostly immune.

He endured years of physical therapy but never walked on his own again.

In 2014 in Saskatchewan, we don’t need to worry about polio, either for adults or children. The virus was eradicated in 1994 from the western hemisphere.

People are still advised to be immunized because it continues in several countries and could spread but it is not really a threat here at this time.

Polio still has no cure. It was only halted through a widespread immunization program. People were relieved when the public health department set up polio clinics in the local schools in the 1950s and most have remained faithful ever since about taking their infants for the vaccine before they entered school.

Other immunization programs brought by public health departments have almost eliminated the need to worry about diphtheria, tetanus, typhoid, tuberculosis, measles, mumps, and rubella.

Consider the deaths and misery avoided in past years because of immunization. Medical websites in Canada and the U.S. only say that hundreds of millions of deaths have been avoided. As an example of the damage, the College of Physicians of Philadelphia points to estimates that more than 300 million deaths worldwide occurred from smallpox alone during the 20th-century. That stopped in 1977, when the last case of smallpox in the world was found in Somalia. That is immunization at work, after thousands of years of suffering. Now scientists are working on a vaccine to prevent the illness and deaths related to ebola.

The residents of South East Saskatchewan have another opportunity this fall to participate in this vitally important and safe practice of immunization when they receive a Àu shot from their local health provider.

There is no charge. There is little inconvenience; some people experience a sore arm for a day or two. There’s good reason to help your family and your community avoid sickness and possible death. We all need to act to minimize the impact of this disease.

CARLYLE OBSERVER

Pee Wee Cougars open the regular season with a two-game home stand Carrie Pelletier Sports Contributor The Carievale Storm were in town on Saturday, November 1st to kick off the regular season. The game had lots of action right from the opening faceoff, a constant end to end battle through two periods. Going into the third period Carievale was up 4-3, they came out strong and by the half-way point had scored three more goals for a 7-4 lead. Carlyle made an impressive come back with a natural hat trick by Nate

Robertson which helped the Cougars close the gap to one goal. With less than two minutes to go Carlyle pulled their goalie for the extra attacker in an effort to tie up the game.

Carievale managed to put one in the empty net and seal the victory in the 8 – 6 win. It was a close game that was fun to watch right till the very end!

The next day Carlyle was back on home ice to face off against the Carnduff Red Devil’s. The game was back and forth halfway through the first

Carissa Faber Sports Contributor It was a busy opening weekend for the Carlyle Novice Cougars coached

by Kirk. Two games in two days with the team splitting for the weekend.

First on Saturday, Nov. 1, the Cougars hosted Oxbow. It was a

good game with plenty of chances for both teams.

Draeton Morrissette had a two goal game and Jackson Humphries turned in a hat-trick, but despite a good team effort Oxbow doubled the Cougars, 10 – 5.

On Sunday, Nov. 2, the team travelled to

Redvers. It was a good game; very close on the score sheet. Mason Barta had the hat-trick this time with singles by Jackson Humphries, Kale Arndt, and Jaden Fischer. In the end it was Carlyle 6 and Redvers 4.

Great weekend boys!

Sports Wrap-up with Bruce Penton

– NHL teams may not fear losing The National Hockey League season is hardly a month old and already, the race for the bottom is getting intense.

Win the playoffs, of course, and you walk off

with the Stanley Cup. Finish last or among the bottom three or four, and you’ve got a great chance to stitch the name ‘McDavid’ or ‘Eichel’ on one of your team’s sweat-

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE MUNICIPAL HERITAGE PROPERTY The Heritage Property Act S. S. 1979-80. o.H-2.2 s. 11(2)(b) Notice is hereby given that not less than thirty days from the date of service of this notice, the Council of the: Rural Municipality of Brock No. 64 intends to pass a bylaw pursuant to the provisions of The Heritage Property Act, to designate as Municipal Heritage Property the following real property known as Smithfield legally described as: That portion of SW 4-9-5 W2 consisting of a house and yard site, (.05 acres more or less) and located at: Approximately 4.5 miles northeast of Kisbey, Saskatchewan, between Township Road 90 and the Moose Mountains

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE MUNICIPAL HERITAGE PROPERTY The reasons for the proposed designation are as follows: 1. The heritage value of the Smithfield property resides in its being the only Candidate for restoration from the period in the first two to three decades of the twentieth century when the Percy district was internationally significant for breeding, raising and Marketing high quality draught horses employed in prairie agriculture and transportation of goods.

2. Smithfield is also an architectural representation of a unique group of agricultural pioneers. Neither "sodbusters" seeking a new life nor the extravagant and illprepared class typified by Cannington Manor, these were well-capitalized, highly skilled, early industrial agriculturalists and stockmen. Primarily Scottish, their homes reflected their intention and capacity to fulfill this role in western settlement.

3. Smithfield is an intact example of period stone architecture in its own right.

The building was Commissioned by James Mitchell Smith and his wife Betsy Anderson Smith from Letham, Forfarshire, Scotland in the late 1890's. It was designed by John McLaren, completed in 1903-04 by the mason McElvaney and occupied continuously until 1988. The original structure has not been altered or modified and any internal modifications are reversible.

Any person wishing to object to the proposed designation must serve council with a written objection stating the reasons for the objection and all relevant facts not less than three days prior to consideration of the bylaw.

Dated this 27th day of October, 2014 Treena Heshka Administrator R.M. of Brock No. 64

ers.

Connor McDavid, who will be 18 in January, and Jack Eichel, who just turned 18, are both franchise-changing players. Both will be drafted next summer, and experts agree that the teams that nab their rights will suddenly be on the road to respectability.

Remember what Sidney Crosby did for the sad-sack Penguins? The same, experts say, will be the result when the wunderkind McDavid, from Newmarket, Ont., and Eichel, a flashy American from Massachusetts currently playing for Boston College, join their NHL teams. Erie’s McDavid leads the OHL in scoring, averaging nearly three points per game, while Eichel, a power forward, “is a pretty complete package,” according to NHL Central Scouting’s Dan Marr in a Boston Globe story.

No team in the NHL would (wink, wink!) lose on purpose to enhance their chances to pick No. 1 or No. 2, would they?

Officially, no. Unofficially? Let’s just say some coaches and GMs around the league may make some strange choices down the stretch once their playoff chances have officially evaporated.

Finishing last guarantees nothing. But it does give the worst team in the NHL a heightened 1-in-5 chance at getting the first pick. Second from the bottom gets a 13.5 per cent chance in the draft lottery.

Chances get slimmer for teams further from the bottom, but all teams who miss the playoffs get a crack at the first pick. The best of the non-playoff teams has only a one-per-

cent chance of nabbing the No. 1 selection.

Currently, it appears as if Buffalo, Carolina, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Arizona will be playing their hearts out for McDavid or Eichel. Losses this season will be like salve on wounds for those teams’ fans, who seem to be quite prepared to accept some short-term pain for possible long-term gain.

McDavid will almost certainly go No. 1, because he’s NHL ready, and eager to join the big boys. Eichel may stay at BU for a couple of years to finish his college degree before joining the NHL, but hey, money talks, and the team drafting him will be screaming dollars in his direction.

Let the race to the bottom begin!

Is a solution to climate change down in the dirt?

Staff photo by Kelly Running

Peter Donovan presents to a group of approximately 25 individuals interested in holistic management of their farms to help the carbon cycle remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and replace carbon in soils to create healthier soil.

By Kelly Running Climate change is one of the major concerns of the 21st century, but local farmers accompanied by the Soil Carbon Coalition are working together to put carbon back into the ground and reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

The ranchers came together on Tuesday, Oct. 21, in Redvers to discuss and learn more about holistic management on their farms as well as the carbon cycle.

Peter Donovan, with the Soil Carbon Coalition, stated the carbon cycle was the “most powerful planetary force,” explaining it is driven by solar energy.

Ultimately promoting healthy foliage will result in a healthy carbon cycle, thus holistic planned grazing is being researched for the amount of carbon it can put back into the soil.

The focus of the carbon cycle in holistic management is to improve soil health as organic carbon is necessary through photosynthesis to ensure healthy soil.

Ultimately plants eat sunlight and use carbon dioxide and water to create carbohydrates respiring carbon back into the ground.

Encouraging the restoration of grasslands provides potential to

deplete carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, a result from soil loss due to anthropogenic agricultural practices and industrialera green house-causing emissions.

The Soil Carbon Coalition promote ranchers working with the process of photosynthesis and the carbon cycle in how carbon matter decays into the soil, helping create soil aggregate.

They have issued a Soil Carbon Challenge looking to create baseline plots across North America in order to measure soil carbon and to prove that holistic management is a way to help mitigate climate change.

Donovan explained that if the world stopped using fossil fuels it would take over a century for the world to work through the carbon cycle and deplete carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. With help through encouraging photosynthesis, Donovan says it is possible to calm the climate change conundrum.

Donovan’s talk did not only touch on the importance of improving soil, but how one individual can make a change and influence others to do the same; inspiring and encouraging the local ranchers to record and share their findings with others of how holistic management is beneficial.

One of the main points Donovan made was of the carbon cycle being interconnected with all other cycles. He explained people break down problems into smaller segments as a way to overcome them, but when it comes to climate change, all aspects which feed into it need to be addressed together.

Interest in what Donovan was saying was taken in by over 20 people coming from over twohours away to learn more about the importance of increasing carbon in the soil.

“Tonight really encouraged me...” Blaine Hjertaas, a rancher from the area who is awaiting his readings of carbon in the soil to see if his holistic management has seen a positive increase.

“One of our allies is that people are waking up and realizing that human health and soil health are the same thing. That

connection gets more solid in the eyes of the consumer who is eating the food we produce they’re going to be saying, ‘What are you guys doing putting all that poison and chemicals into our food on the soil?’ I’m not against

technology in any way and I’m not an organic farmer in any way, but I think we need to think about the inputs we use affect what it does. If it makes it better then I’m all for it, if it’s making the biology better then it’s fantastic

technology; but, if it’s making it worse then I’m not so sure we should be so gung ho about it.”

“I think consumers will likely be dictating to us what we’ll be doing in the future, so I’m really excited about this.”

Homemade and handmade: Fairlight hosts holiday festivities Nov. 8 & 9

By Lynne Bell The village of Fairlight is offering shoppers an authentic small-town Christmas experience as community organizations and local businesses hold their annual Christmas Open House on Nov. 8 and 9.

“We’re open both days here at the tea room,” says Brenda Thompson of Home Sweet Home Tea Room & Gift Shop.“It’s our Christmas open house and we’re planning on having seven decorated Christmas trees. Decorating everything in both

the tea house and The 2nd Edition gift shop across the street takes us about 10 days.”

“We’ll have free munchies, including Christmas dainties, cheese balls, veggies and dip, as well as coffee, tea, and hot apple cider. In both locations, we’ll have Christmas merchandise and also merchandise that makes great gifts for any occasion. Our Christmas stuff was ordered in January, so we’re pretty excited to have it out for our customers at this event.”

“We’re expecting

hundreds of women here if the weather is good,” adds Thompson. “But everyone is welcome. Our local used and new furniture store-Fairway Sales- will be open, and there’s also a craft sale in the community hall and a soup and sandwich luncheon at the Drop-in Centre, all on Saturday.”

Craft sale organizer Shirley Campbell says that 30 exhibitor tables in the hall have been sold out for weeks. “They’ve been sold out for three weeks already, if not longer,” she says. “The exhibitors are

“They’ll be selling crafts, sewing, jewellery, and some baking. We also have a gentleman who will be selling his barn board work, including some birdhouses he’s made.

We have baby stuff, two or three different lines of kids’ clothing, and even some canine cover-ups.”

“Most of the exhibitors are selling things that are handmade and homemade, but we do have

some things like kids’ clothes from an awesome online clothing store-including Disney items- and some things like Sunset Gourmet merchandise.”

Saturday’s soup and sandwich luncheon will benefit the community club, says volunteer Ione Krainyk. “It’s all homemade and we invite everybody to come on out.”

“We’re very fortunate,” says Thompson.

“It’s a town-wide event and it’s been a success every year. That success is all due to everybody who works here. It’s a genuine

small-town experience and we hope people come out and enjoy it.”

OBSERVER AGRICULTURE Bees are nature’s pollinators

By Calvin Daniels Who would have thought the humble honey bee would become the sounding bell to raise public concern over a growing environmental effort.

The concern revolves around the apparent impact neonicotinoids have on bee populations.

The impact on bees is seen as particularly impactful environmentally because bees are nature’s

pollinators, making them an important part of the life cycle of many plants, including food sources such as fruits.

Such concerns have been fueled by date such as 58 per cent of the bee colonies in Ontario did not survive last winter.

While evidence is far from conclusive in pinning the losses on the pesticide it is being pointed too as a likely contributor.

And the pesticide 14112MP00

issue is one we could impact with moratoriums and bans, whereas a cold winter’s impact is beyond our control.

In August The Globe and Mail reported a poll showing 87 per cent of Ontarians surveyed were concerned about the threat neonicotinoids pose to insects and wildlife, and 92 per cent want the government to protect pollinators.

“I’ve been doing environmental work since 1984 and I’ve never seen this level of public concern about an issue,” said Gideon Forman, executive director of Canadian Association of Physicians

for the Environment, which paid for two-thirds of the poll, in the G&M story.

Among the survey’s respondents, 77 per cent said the government should place a two-year moratorium on neonics.

For those unaware, a separate G&M story detailed the concerns; “Beekeepers and a growing body of scientific research say the neonicotinoid class of pesticide that has become widely used in the past decade is contributing to the decline in populations of bees and other pollinators. They say the chemicals designed

to protect crops against worms and other pests are weakening beneficial insects and making them more vulnerable to viruses, parasites and loss of food supply.

“Neonicotinoids, known as neonics, are applied by the seed companies on corn, canola and some soybeans. They are also used by vegetable farmers and growers of ornamental flowers.

“The pesticide is systemic, which means it is present throughout the plants, including the nectar and pollen eaten by honey bees and other insect pollinators that are responsible for a third of the food humans

Kennedy News Another weekend of fall suppers around the area---some folks attended the one in Whitewood and others went to Wawota-both had a very good attendance and the food was great. Seems like all the suppers, soup and sandwiches, etc. that were held to support community life have been well attended, and that is helping one another!

Word has been received on the passing of Leonard Shoemaker, to Dianne and her family and members of the Shoemaker families, the community extends their sympathy.

Kennedy Volunteer Fire Brigade held a masquerade dance in the community hall. Money raised will go towards a pumper truck.

Kevin Armstrong supplied the music for the dance.

Everyone in attendance had a good time. They took in $3,000.00, thanks to Enbridge for the great donation of $10,000.00 in grant money. Residents of Kennedy and district are very fortunate to have volunteers for this important convenience.

October 28th ladies of the community and ladies of Carlyle hosted a baby shower for Ellexha Humphries, daugh-

consume.”

While I am an ardent proponent of progress in science, promoting those things which expand the possibilities of agriculture, in particular the field of genetically modified crops, there are situations where extra diligence not only makes sense, but is simply required.

Neonics is one of the times we need to slam on the brakes and take a long extra look at the potential to negatively impact the natural way of things.

To impact pollinators, given their importance to food production would be folly, and we need to ensure we don’t go down that path.

The MMPPCOA’s mandate is to present a unified voice for our member cottage owners when dealing with the Ministry of Parks, Culture & Sport (PCS); to identify major issues affecting our membership and take steps to address concerns; to provide leadership on issues affecting cottage properties; and to act as a liaison between cottage owners and Saskatchewan Government Departments and other organizations concerning regulation and operation of park facilities.

Membership in the MMPPCOA is on a ‘per cottage’ basis and we currently

have 377 members of a possible 450 cottage lots in the Park subdivisions.

The MMPPCOA is one of 11 provincial park cottage owner associations which have joined together to form the Saskatchewan Provincial Park Cabin Owners’ Association (SPPCOA). The presidents from each park association make up the SPPCOA Board of Directors. The SPPCOA provides leadership on province-wide concerns and deals at the provincial level of government on many crucial issues such as: lease fees, policies, regulations and directives which impact on provincial park cottage owners. There is a combined total of 2160 cabins

in the subdivisions in those parks which make up the SPPCOA.” If I have missed your business perhaps I will get it next time but for now that’s all.

Into the unknown

Jane Dunbar (second row, fourth from the right) joins other war brides to look at a map of their journey to Canada.

Submitted by Marsha McLean

By Kelly Running

F

ollowing World War II a mass migration of women, with a collective identity as war brides, occurred throughout the world. Canadian soldiers brought home wives from overseas, while soldiers from other countries followed suit.

Great love stories reminiscent of fairytales would inspire marriages leading to women crisscrossing the globe. Most marriages stood the test of time; some marriages ended in divorce, but they were the minority.

It was on the day these couples wed however, that lives changed forever for the women. The ladies would leave everything familiar behind and embark on a character defining venture into the unknown as they left their homeland to be with the men they loved, oftentimes someone they had known for a very short amount of time.

There are instances of men remaining in the countries of their new wives, but mostly women left behind the familiar for the unknown.

Though this migration greatly impacted the annals of history their stories in the grander scheme are often overlooked by historians in favour of studying the war and its implications.

Though many have briefly touched on the subject it is not widely discussed.

Bev Tosh of Calgary, was propelled by the discovery of her mother’s story as a war bride to strike out on a path of necessity, of painting portraits of war brides from their wedding day photograph and of telling their stories.

Numerous women found themselves coming to Saskatchewan and as they left the cities of Europe for the prairies of Canada. The women were shocked by the land they came to.

Locally many communities have ties to war brides, two of which included Johanna “Jane” Dunbar, mother to Marsha McLean of Carlyle, and Dorris “Buckie” George, mother of Brenda Thompson of Fairlight.

Jane and Buckie’s stories mirror those of so many war brides during this time. Jane came from the Netherlands, while Buckie came to Canada from England. The ladies travelled by war ships into uncertainty on a one-way passage paid for by the Canadian government.

Though brides from different countries all identify as war brides, their situations in their homeland varied greatly.

Women in England feared for their lives as cities were bombed, but they were not living in occupied territory. The many war brides from the mainland of Europe had been living under Nazi control and were surviving in a different type of war-torn country. The collective identity developed following marriage to servicemen and leaving behind all they knew: for a husband and a foreign country.

Dorris “Buckie” George Buckie was born in Wales and although Dorris was her given name, “it was only ever used at the doctor’s office or on election day,” laughed her daughter, Brenda.

As war ravaged the world in the 1940s, Herb George of Glenavon, encouraged by his uncle, would enlist in the Canadian Army Dental Corps, as he had been in the College of Dentistry in Regina.

Buckie was an accomplished seamstress and knitter throughout her life, creating intricate works. This was a passion and talent which would remain

with her for life, but as a young woman it would be put on hold as Buckie would also hear the call to service and became a bomb inspector at an ammunition factory during the war.

As with many war brides and their soldier husbands, the two met at a dance. Dances were often held to keep morale up and during one such event at Bournemouth, England, Buckie and Herb would meet. Married two years later, Buckie would actually come to Canada before Herb’s return.

Striking out from England on Aug. 7, 1945, she was carried aboard a bride ship, a troop ship transporting the many new Canadian wives to their new homeland. Arriving in Canada at Pier 21 in Halifax, the women then boarded a train to continue their trek across Canada in a bride train, a train filled with these women.

Buckie would be taken to Regina via bride train and here a brother of Herb’s would arrive to meet her. Meeting for the first time they would then make their way to Glenavon where Buckie would live with Herb’s parents for the time being.

“My grandmother was a tyrant,” Brenda said lovingly. “She made my mother clean windows, dust, everything and my grandfather worked for the Dominion Bank.”

During Buckie’s journey she would meet a woman who became like a sister to her having bonded on their trip to Saskatchewan together. They had met on the ship where Buckie had turned “the same shade of green as the jacket she was wearing,” Brenda explained.

Seasickness was a difficult challenge for many women to overcome during the long voyage. In a turn of

luck, the two women would come to an area relatively close to each other with Buckie’s new friend ending up on a farm south of Kipling.

This was an appreciated coincidence as many who bonded on the ship to Canada or even on the train across Canada could be separated by thousands of miles.

Herb and Buckie lived happily together. A year after returning home they moved to Kipling and would later move to Maryfield. They spent summers at a cottage by Kenosee Lake and Brenda remembers: “Nobody went hungry, no one was wealthy, but it was a good life.”

Brenda explained that her mother, Buckie, didn’t speak very often about travelling to Canada leaving Brenda with a limited knowledge of her mother’s early days as a war bride.

Johanna (Jane) Dunbar While Bev Tosh and her husband Bill were summering at Kenosee, it was at Brenda’s business in Fairlight, Home Sweet Home, over tea, that they happened to meet Marsha and her mother, Jane.

Jane, originally from the Netherlands, spoke of her experiences more candidly with her daughter than Buckie had, leaving Marsha with more information on the terrifying, yet exciting adventure of coming to Canada.

Jane had worked for the Canadian nurses in a laundry facility during World War II. The laundry facility was specifically used by a make-shift hospital created for the troops located across the road from where she worked. She was able to speak English and because of this had a position where she interacted with both English and Dutch speaking people at the facility.

Fraser McLean Dunbar, known as Mac, was a Canadian working as an orderly at the hospital. It was part of his job to drop laundry off at the facility where Jane worked. Conversations followed and the two hit it off. Despite Jane being engaged to another man at the time, her heart led her to a Canadian soldier from North Portal and although Jane’s father was unhappy with the match, she left for Canada.

“When she came to Canada, her dad put enough money in her pocket that she could come back if it didn’t work out,” Marsha explained. “He gave her enough to make that passage back.”

For many this was not the case.

The Canadian government paid for the women and children in Europe to return with their husband or to their husband’s family. It was a one-way passage tied up in red tape, making it difficult to come to Canada in the first place. This was typical of many governments at the time who had troops returning from overseas.

Jane had been a “city girl.” She had taken a business course and had lived in a business district where her parents owned a tobacco and magazine shop with lodgings above for the family. Jane would leave all of this behind for the difficulties of prairie life after knowing her new and loving husband for a mere nine months.

When Jane and Mac were married in January, Marsha explained her father left mere days after the wedding for home, while his bride now awaited her transport which wouldn’t be until August.

Friday, November 7, 2014 “I think all these war brides experienced the same thing,” Marsha said. “They were city girls who came to these rustic, depression farms where men didn’t have any money. They were trying to make a living, a lot of these boys went to war because they weren’t making a living here.”

“And often [the war brides] came to farm homes that the whole family lived there. The mother-in-law, the brother-inlaw, the sister-in-law, the children… all came to live in one house.”

Despite the drastic change in lifestyle, Jane was resilient, and eventually found great pride in taking care of her own home, a house which had been used as a granary that had been moved into the farmyard. Wheat continually poured out of the walls when doors and windows were shut, but Jane had loved it because it was hers after living in the large farmhouse with everyone.

“It had been a granary for so long who knows how many mice were in the walls, but that was her special home…”

Marsha stated. “[Leaving the Netherlands for Canada was a] total change in life, and did she like that? I can’t imagine that she did, she was pretty careful not to say ‘That wasn’t very nice,’ but it was a total change. If we were to look today how we would respond to that I don’t know… we wouldn’t have had a choice though.”

It’s these stories of the enduring women who left behind everything they knew in pursuit of love and happiness with the men who won their hearts.

They were often whirlwind love stories, but they were so much more. They were pivotal moments in life, defining an entire group of women with a shared collective experience as war brides.

The war brides’ journey to Canada Approximately 48,000 women from World War II were able to identify as war brides coming to Canada bringing with them nearly 20,000 children. All of these women fell in love with Canadian servicemen through chance encounters, at dances, or social events. These men and women found each other amongst the fear and unknown futures of living with war, although their meetings were often attributed to food. In a time when rationing and starvation were the norm the women would be enticed to attend a social event through being told food would be available. “[Many] met their husbands at dances sponsored by the military to kind of keep morale up, but the attraction was the food because they’d say to the women, ‘There’s going to be coffee and sandwiches…’” Bev explained. “[War brides] said they went for the food and met the Canadians, but they went for the food because they had been starving for years and had very little for years.”

Once people found each other, many would marry within months, while others had known their fiancés for numerous years before marrying. Marriages though, were very much discouraged by the army and as a way to dissuade people from marrying there were applications and processes which had to be followed resulting in a three-month waiting period for the women before the Canadian government would authorize

CARLYLE OBSERVER and organize the paid, one-way passage to Canada.

“I think what’s fascinated me was them coming to say Saskatchewan in this case, in the 40s with very little money, if any money, and no way home,” Bev stated. “…the Canadian government paid a one-way passage for the brides of their servicemen, they discouraged it quite seriously, they didn’t want the soldiers marrying because then it was a huge job to try and move these dependents to the soldiers’ hometowns; so, they made it difficult, often three months of red tape, so you had to really want to marry that person.”

But being amongst the uncertainty of the future and seeing war first-hand, the general attitude was to live one’s life because the next day was constantly clouded in mystery because of the devastation of war. Thus, the obstacles to marry and emmigrate to Canada were minimal for these couples when looking to the larger picture.

Many weddings were held in various countries and it was the wedding day which marked an extremely important moment in these women’s lives, says Bev. It was the day they pledged to leave behind everything familiar for a new land and new family. Therefore, when the women boarded the ships that would take them to Canada they bonded with their newly acquired identity.

“The ship was where the women tended to bond,” Bev explained. “They were no longer the daughter of a certain family, with their friends, family, and maiden name, they were now embarking on a new future; an unknown future, in an unknown land with a man they likely knew for very little time.”

“So, the ship journey was kind of like time out of real time for them and it was a special kind of bonding.”

The bride ships were described to Bev by war brides as being rather harsh places. Women were often homesick and seasick, and although the food was the best they had for numerous years, many were unable to eat it.

For many, the trip meant being transported on troop ships. Three bunks high, there was very little room, especially for anyone feeling claustrophobic.

This was just one challenge the women faced on the journey to their new lives.

“It was usually a dreadful trip for the women,” Bev stated. “It’s a rite of passage really, they were not cruises…”

Many women would have children with them and with the few diapers they had, the salt water of the sea was used to wash them. Women would have to stand guard over these as there was often not enough time to let them dry before another one was needed and women would sometimes take the dry ones first, even if they were not theirs.

The women and children would then arrive at Pier 21 in Halifax, NS. They would be processed and then board a bride train which could take them across Canada to where, hopefully, a husband or someone was waiting for them.

“One woman told me that she arrived by train and she thought no one was there to pick her up, but eventually someone came over and asked who she was,” Bev said. “He told her that he’d

www.carlyleobserver.com

take her to her husband, so off they went.”

“He pulls into a field and the husband gets off the tractor, greets her, then gets back on the tractor.”

Of course this was something that varied for each woman. Some women would have known their husbands weren’t meeting them because they came to their new country as war widows, while others were in a “tizzy,” Bev said, unsure if their husband would be waiting for them or even wondering if they were still wanted or not.

Finally the war bride would arrive at their new home, and for many this was to a rural farmhouse where the entire family (grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, and children) was living together.

It was hard on them, most were from the city, and coming to a farmhouse without electricity or running water could be a shock.

“They were city girls with flush toilets, running water, and brick buildings,” Bev stated. “And the first thing some of them did was go into these wooden shacks [outhouses], they were worried they would blow away. They came from a different cultural background.”

The women adapted to the harsh Canadian climate, sometimes having

25

to win over unwelcoming neighbours, learn a new language, and face the challenges of feeling alone in a new country.

The women had just endured war and were resolved in their convictions to make a better life for themselves in a new country with their husband and his family.

Rural life was often not what they had expected, but for the most part the marriages were enduring ones and the oddity came to be for the marriages to end in divorce; this was something that would leave women looking for a way home or having to make it in a new land completely on their own.

War brides would eventually become enmeshed in their new communities, taking some longer than others to finally feel at home. Their hard work and efforts helped enhance the lives of many becoming an extremely important part of how Canada developed as a country.

The beginning of Bev’s journey It was this shared collective by a resilient group of women from around the world that drew Bev into the unconscious need to paint these women which was rooted in her mother’s life. Bev’s mother, Dorothy, was a Canadian war bride who left for New Zealand with a pilot in the ANZAC army who had been training in Saskatoon.

Claustrophobia and sea sickness was a problem, especially in the bunks where the women were packed tightly and at three bunks high would sway back and forth with the movement of the ship. Jane Dunbar is pictured on the top bunk.

Continued: Into the unknown Dorothy’s story did stray from the more common tales in that Dorothy would leave New Zealand to come home to Canada with her children as the marriage did not work out in the end.

This is where Bev’s fascination with bride ships and the women travelling on them is harboured.

“I know what it feels like when a ship leaves a country, and you’re so high and the engines shudder, and you

see the land pull away,” Bev explained.

“I somehow knew when I was nine that my life would never be the same.”

At such a young age, Bev watched as the familiar fell away into the distance. She would be met with the unknown of Canada and a family she had never met before. In ways it paralleled aspects of the journey into the unknown which the war brides had embarked on a journey her mother had been on before.

This has silently compelled Bev to pursue her project as she has an understanding of leaving the known for the unfamiliar.

“It’s into the 14th year now,” Bev explained of her project, War Brides: One-Way Passage. “I stopped teaching to do it. I used to teach for the Art College in Calgary, I just knew I couldn’t divide my focus.”

“I love teaching, but I also love

these stories and I knew I couldn’t do both well and the advantage, I guess I have, I haven’t really looked for war brides. They’ve almost all just come to me through another war bride… [or as] part of our life…”

Bev says that she has completed approximately 140 to 150 portraits over the years, which are all tied to the portrait of her mother she created for Dorothy’s 80th birthday in January of 2001.

“It was eight feet by six feet wide, and I started an easel size but it didn’t seem to touch the subject, mothers are a big subject,” Bev smiled. “I worked over top of a painting of a swimmer I had done previously, so I had a really big canvas with paint on it, and I painted my mother, it would have been from the photograph that my father would have carried of my mother from the war years, a sort of portrait photo.”

“The last thing I put on the portrait was Wanganella, there were other names very subtly worked into the background, and that was my mother’s bride ship, that’s the ship that took her from Vancouver to Auckland, New Zealand, just before Christmas, 1946,” Bev explained. “…for me, somehow that [the painting] marked my mom’s passage.”

At this time Bev was living and teaching in New Zealand and a newspaper there ran a photo of it on the front page, which led to war brides reaching out to Bev. “Suddenly all these stories, all the hair on my arms stood up, it spoke to me on a bodily level, it was involuntary,” Bev said.

From here Bev began speaking at different venues including the Glenbow Museum in Calgary where she spoke on Memory and Identity. This is where she spoke of New Zealand war brides, which instantly led to unlocking Alberta war bride stories making Bev’s work a truly global adventure.

“It just became more global and I never thought, ‘I’m just going to do war brides to Canada or from Canada… it’s wherever I met a war bride,” Bev explained. “I worked with their stories where I could; I painted them where I could.”

War Brides: One-Way Passage Since beginning her journey, Bev has had the honour of displaying her works in multiple exhibitions titled, War Brides: One-Way Passage, including one in 2007 at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa.

Last year, a display was created at the National Liberation Museum in Groesbeek, Gelderland, a city in the Netherlands located near Nijmegen, the city where Jane had grown up.

This particular exhibition was meaningful in it was this connection through Jane’s family that helped bring it to Groesbeek. “[The exhibition] happened directly because of a photograph that Marsha took of her mother and the portrait I brought down two years ago… to Carlyle,” Bev said. “I had taken it for Marsha’s mother to see and Marsha, Jane, and I were visiting.”

With Bev being interested in displaying her historically-relevant artwork in Holland, Marsha reached out to relatives. She shared a photograph of Bev and Jane, speaking with the portrait of Jane in the background.

“All of Mom’s family lives in Holland… I emailed one of my cousins over there…” Marsha explained. “It was sort of a lucky situation because I have one cousin who works in an African Museum in Nijmegen and I have another cousin in Nijmegen who is just one of those people who can get things done.”

“So between the two of them, they gave the names of museums or places that they thought would be an ideal situation…”

The exhibition had Bev’s numerous artworks, mainly the paintings of the wedding day portraits, which stand four feet high, lined up shoulder to shoulder, important to show that although they might not have known each other, the war brides were all in this same struggle together following the war and were silently supporting each other in their endeavours.

“Beside each portrait, and it’s the first time I’ve done it and I think it was the most effective thing I’ve done, on silk panels just hanging loosely, five feet long, almost a foot wide, was a very brief anecdotal story from each one…”

Bev explained.

“I would watch people at the opening and they would walk along and they would stop at one, and it would be a different one for each person, it’s a fair bit of writing when you’ve got both languages beside each one, even though it’s very brief. They would realize that only the top part was Dutch, so it was half as much, they would read it and then they would back track and read every one and then they’d go on and read the rest…”

Bev’s works are emotional to many, whether a relative of a war bride or someone just learning their story, the works speak to many and showcase a piece of history often only briefly acknowledged; but, an extremely relevant topic which influenced much of the history of Canada and of many other countries that were adopted by young women from around the world, coming to them as war brides.

“It seems to have touched many lives,” Bev stated. “I was doing it because I was somehow compelled to do it, I never really said, ‘I’m going to do this.’ It just kind of chose me and it’s just been one of the most profound things of my life…”

“I’m an artist who needs this history component to make artwork and I wanted to connect the women. That’s always been key, they didn’t know each other, they went different directions, but I wanted them to stand shoulder to shoulder, I wanted that connection…”

The journey would take the women from all that was familiar into the unknown.

The majority of these women smile and wave, excitedly anticipating their arrival in Canada. Jane Dunbar is one of them, but the voyage was a long arduous journey.

The Government of Canada had paid their one-way passage and the women were to make a life for themselves with their husband, as a widow with his family, or on their own in the event their husbands didn’t want them anymore.

They died for us arly in the spring a call from cousin Sid Fox, a Korean War veteran living in Brandon, a very active volunteer at the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum at McGill Field, inviting me to be his guest September 10, 2014 at the unveiling of a memorial, never dreaming the event was such a prestigious event.

I’ve been to Vimy Ridge, placed my hand on some of the many names engraved on the white marble and prayed for the souls who are immortalized there.

On Sept. 10, 2014, 70 years to the day Canada entered WW II, I had the honor to witness the unveiling of a 300 foot wall of black marble panels engraved with 19,000 names of Royal Canadian Air Force personnel who lost their lives during the Second World War, of those 18,000 were Canadians. It was a cold, windy day for the ceremonies with the Manitoba Premier, Mayor of Brandon and many other dignitaries attending, as well as the bugler; the playing of the Last Post all brought to mind the price these young people paid for their country beside the names are their age.

I have now stood at this memorial with hand on the engraved names of those Canadians, as well as the Commonwealth countries that also paid the ultimate price for our country to pray for them and ask God that our country never has to face the loss of its young people too soon. This Remembrance Day is a reminder to all, the price many loved ones gave to give us the life we live so free today.

Travel to Brandon, pay your respect to these fellow Canadians, we’re here because of them.

Remembrance Day Ceremony to be held at CES

By Kelly Running Early in the morning on Nov. 11, 1918, an armistice was signed agreeing to end hostilities between Germany and the Entente during World War I. At the 11th hour it would come into effect. The war did not conclude until the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919.

Now on “the 11th hour of the 11th day of th the 11 month” we gather to remember those who gave their lives while in the line of duty.

“They are our grandfathers, brothers, mothers and sisters, neighbours... heroes.

Canada’s Veterans - their courage, service and sacrifices have kept us strong, proud and free,” Veterans Canada states.

In Carlyle a Remembrance Day service will be held at 10:45 a.m. by the Carlyle Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion at the Carlyle Elementary School.

In addition to attending the local

Remembrance Day Ceremony on Nov. 11, Veterans Canada recommends people take the opportunity “to recognize the contribution our Veterans have made and to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of Canada.”

This includes wearing a poppy, an emblem which was made very relevant in the poem, In Flanders Fields, where the brilliant red flowers blow in the wind.

Other ideas Veterans Canada shares is to send a postcard for peace, speak with a friend or relative who has fought in the Canadian Armed Forces, and plant a Garden of Remembrance.

“However, you choose to remember Canada’s Veterans, be sure to share it with everyone you know. Together, it is our duty to pass on our gratitude and keep their legacy and memories alive. This Remembrance Day, Remember Them,” Veterans Canada states.

Joyce was born on August 1, 1929 in Stoughton. She married Don on April 12, 1950. They made their home in Stoughton and built the Stoughton Esso where they worked and lived. Don & Joyce, along with their four daughters moved to BC, where they resided for a year. Upon returning to Stoughton, Don started his gravel and cement business and Joyce opened her dress shop in Stoughton which expanded into Weyburn and Estevan. Joyce then worked as a bookkeeper in Regina before “retiring” to White Bear Lake Resort. We all know that Joyce did not retire after moving to the Resort but became bookkeeper at the Resort Office. After Don’s passing, Joyce moved back to Stoughton and helped her daughter Pat in her Second Hand Store. Joyce was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and then moved in to the Fillmore Health Care Facility in November 2013. In June 2014 she was transferred to the Newhope Pioneer Lodge in Stoughton where she resided until her passing.

Joyce was well known for being the life of the party and always saying how it was and the first to have a comment. Joyce was always a hard worker, mixed with a bit of stubbornness, she didn’t always wait or ask for help but did things for herself because if something needed to be done, it needed to be done now.

Joyce’s family would like to thank the staff at the Newhope Pioneer Lodge for keeping Joyce as comfortable as possible during her final days. We would also like to thank Ken Stoddard, Alvina Goudy and Evelyn Taylor for singing at the service and the Apostolic Church Auxiliary for the lunch following the service.

A family graveside ceremony was held on October 10, 2014 at the Stoughton Cemetery followed by a Memorial Service at the Apostolic Church officiated by Rev. Ken Stoddard. Arrangements were entrusted to Hall Funeral Services, Estevan. Donations in Joyce’s memory may be made to the Newhope Pioneer Lodge (Box 38, Stoughton, SK, S0G 4T0) or the Fillmore Union Health Centre - Resident’s Activity Fund (Box 246, Fillmore, SK, S0G 1N0).

Hoppe, Lorraine

Hoppe, Lorraine Helen passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 25, 2014.

She was predeceased by her parents, Max and Anne Kaip; five Reddick great grandchildren and sisters, Alice (Jerry) Wenman and Judy Pohl. Lorraine was born on November 11, 1937 in Khedive, Saskatchewan and grew up in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. She attended Assiniboia School and would graduate from the Weyburn Collegiate with honours and many academic awards. Lorraine worked at a variety of jobs, prior to marriage she was at the Royal Bank in Weyburn, later as a CNA at Souris Valley and the Weyburn Union Hospital. She also spent time working as a Lab Associate and for Del Johnson bookkeeping and accounting. Lorraine married Walter Hoppe on May 17, 1955 and for the majority of their married life they lived in Weyburn, as well as a year spent in Redvers. The last fifteen years Walter and Lorraine resided at White Bear Lake. Lorraine had many interests, she loved the lake and spent much time swimming. She loved to travel and visited Hawaii, Barbados, Caribean, Florida, Jamaica, Black Hills, Grand Canyon and much of the western United States.

She loved family reunions and never missed any. Lorraine was an avid card player and loved to play board games. She received her Masters in Bridge at 33 years of age and her Life Masters at 49. Lorraine loved her pets, enjoyed knitting and playing games on the computer. She was an active member of the Catholic WomenÕs League and St. Mary’s Altar Society. Lorraine was very proud of her children and their births were special to her.

She had a great sense of humour, loved children and animals and enjoyed making people smile. Everything she did or said was with great passion. Lorraine believed that courage and doing your personal best were “musts” in life. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 58 years, Walter Hoppe of White Bear Lake; Children: Cyndy (Evan) Reddick of Weyburn, SK and family, Erin (Tammy) Reddick and son, Ethan, Chaela (Lorne) Popowich and Maitlan, Naveah & Portlyn; Penny (Doug) Deren of Estevan, SK and family, Naomi Deren (Jason Vellenoweth) and Conley & Brydon, Corbett Deren (Aimee) and Amery (Bre) Deren; Michael (Carolyn) Hoppe of Saskatoon, SK and family, Sarah and Ryan Hoppe; Laura-Lee Hoppe-Dickens (Dave) of Cocoa Beach, FL; sister, Wendy (Bill) Bell; brother-in-law, Hilarion (Beth) Pohl; aunts, Barb Fellner and Dorothy Gueldner as well as many nieces, nephews, in-laws, relatives and good friends. Prayers were said on Tuesday, October 28, 2014 at 7:30pm and a Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on Wednesday, October 29, 2014 at 2:00pm. Both were held at St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church in Weyburn, Saskatchewan with Father Gerry Bauche presiding. Interment took place at Hillcrest Cemeter y, Weybur n, Saskatchewan.

In Memoriam

BRIGDEN: Brenda - May 31, 1953 - Nov. 9, 2011. In loving memory.

There will always be a heartache, a silent tear Always precious memories Of the days when she was here.

Although we smile and seem carefree, No one misses her more than we.

We laugh, we smile, we play the part But behind the broken hearts, We hold out tears when people speak her name, But the ache in our hearts remains the same.

To us she is special, What more is there to say?

Except to wish with all our hearts That she was here today.

You do not lose the one you loved But the life you had with them, Not just today, but every day.

Missed often and loved forever, Al; Drew & Correen; Devon & Amanda; Preston & Taure; Todd & Tanya; and grandsons Jhett, Kruz & Kyrin 25-1

Screams, screeches and laughter could be heard throughout the hall as they made their way through the maze of pathways on the stage.

There were many young people as well as a few adults who came dressed up in their Halloween costumes which really added to the fun of the day.

Also at the Fun Fair the winners of the “Choose a Prize Table” were as follows – Alivia Schulhauser, Persephone Wilson, Debbie Fraser, Shanna Carriere, Holly Anthony, Lacie Nilsen and Lynette Peet. Sara McClung was the winner of the Candy Guess and I’m sure she’ll enjoy the caramel squares.

Congratulations to all the winners. The Halloween Cake will be drawn for later in the evening on October 31. Doors of the Haunted House will open or a few hours again in the evening on Halloween night. Maybe we’ll see you then – IF YOU DARE!!

We received a little shower Sunday afternoon, enough to lay the dust once again and if one was

We wish to extend to everyone who has the misfortunate of not feeling or being well, whether at home or in hospital, “Get Well Wishes” for a speedy recovery.

John Cowan returned back home to Hillcrest Mines, AB on Oct. 24 after spending about four weeks at the Cowan farm helping Gray and Tim with the harvest.

Murray and Adam Cowan (Estevan) spent the weekend (October 24-26) at the farm with parents/ grandparents Gray and Edel. While here Adam tried his luck at hunting for a moose (antlerless) in the area and was successful Sunday morning.

Special birthday greetings are extended to Margaret Lemieux who celebrated her 90th birthday on Oct. 25. Happy birthday Boodie may you have many more to come.

Attending the Haunted House at Heward, SK on Saturday evening on Oct. 25 were Shelly Cowan, Sheri Patton, Diane Potapinski, Trisha Schulhauser, Stacey Beriault, Tammy Potapinski and Becky Hanna. They reported that it was a super great event.

Oct. 26 was the Alida 16th annual Fun Fair and Haunted House. This year the event was set up and held at the Hall (due to the rink being flooded this summer). There was a nice crowd in attendance and

combining it probably put a stop to that as well.

However after talking to a few local people, found out that most of the farmers around here have likely now completed their harvest – at long last – what a trying year for everyone! Let’s hope that next year will NOT be a repeat of this one. Well folks please do be careful when out and driving around – the hunting season is open and the wildlife is also out and about and they surely DO NOT watch where they are going – they just GO. We are also hearing many coyotes in the evening, makes one defiantly realize that fall is upon us. I hate to say it but the nights have really turned cold as well, which makes one think that winter could be just around the corner real soon, after all Halloween is on Friday and we’ve often had snow on that day. Again I sure hope there won’t be snow then this year as I’m not ready for that white stuff yet. Just the remind you once again to please give me a call (306-443-2496) or send a text message at 306-485-8561 or an e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel. net) with your news. I do appreciate your input.

Have a safe and Happy Halloween – we’ll be back in the new month.

Until next time – keep smiling – drive safely and take care.

Wawota News Garry Dickson has returned home after spending a couple of weeks visiting several family members in October for Thanksgiving.
