Only four more evenings of Chase The Ace Time is running out!

There’s only four more Chase The Ace events.

The jackpot is at $4,500 and growing.

Chase The Ace is organized by “Moms on a Community Mission”, namely Tara Cure, Bobbi Wollbaum and Nicole Currie and a host of other volunteers each week.

It takes place at the Carlyle Sports Arena most Saturday evenings.

Doors open at 5:30.

Each week a different organization puts on a delicious meal (see menu on this page for this week’s (Sept. 29) line up). There’s a kid’s area set up, making the evening fun for the whole family.

There’s a toonie table full of really great prizes. All prizes have been generously donated by area businesses.

Tickets for the Chase The Ace draw are only $2.00 each. Each ticket gives you a chance to have your name drawn.

If you happen to be the lucky ticket holder, you will cut the deck of cards and hope for the Ace

of Spades. Each week the deck gets smaller so your chances of winning at this stage of the game are pretty good.

Money raised will go to the Carlyle Elementary School playground equipment fund, the Carlyle Sports Arena and KidSport in Carlyle.

As mentioned before, there’s only four Saturdays left, being Sept. 29, Oct. 13, 20 and 27. Come on out and support this cause and try your luck.

Moms On A Community Mission are also in the planning stages of hosting a community Christmas party where

businesses and individuals can take part. This evening will include a Christmas meal, entertainment and a whole lot of fun. Stay tuned for more on this in the coming weeks.

Moms On A Community Mission thank everyone who has volunteered at all Chase The Ace evenings, the businesses who have donated prizes for the Toonie Table and of course everyone who has come out and taken part.

Hope to see you there!

(Pictures below show some of the past Toonie Table prizes).

LEKO’S CONSERVATION CORNER

By Ministry of Environment conservation officer Lindsey Leko

Hunting season is here Recently, I slipped into Cabela’s on a weekend and noticed that most people were browsing in the firearms, ammunition and clothing areas, compared to May when everyone was in the fishing section.

So I gathered a few things and stashed them so I could come back later when my wife was not around!

This is also the time when we start seeing pictures of harvested big game animals and limits of waterfowl and upland birds, which means that hunting season is here.

Many of the hunting seasons open in early September. It is always best to check the Hunters’ and Trappers’ Guide, as some open September 1 and some open on September 15.

All migratory bird hunting starts on September 1 and upland seasons start on September 15 for everything but pheasant, which opens October 1. Ptarmigan opens on November 1.

A few of the new changes have generated quite a few questions and inquiries, including the removal of the minimum firearm restriction for hunting big game.

Recent amendments now allow most common centre-fire rifle cartridges to be used to hunt big game. This regulation recognizes that advances in cartridge design have justified allowing smaller calibre firearms for hunting big game species. However, the ministry still recommends that cartridges larger than .23 calibre continue to be used for big game species such

as moose, elk and black bear.

Hunting big game with a smaller caliber can create some challenges for hunters. I’d much rather be sure that my larger caliber rifle puts the animal down without any doubt, rather than possibly wounding it and having to spend a long hard day tracking it.

It is likely that the vast majority of hunters will continue to use the same firearms that they have always used, and it should be noted that the .23 calibre minimum is still in place for shotguns and muzzle loading firearms. For more information regarding this amendment, please refer to the 2018 Hunters’ and Trappers’ Guide or contact your local ministry field office.

In addition, if you wish to set out trail cameras, blinds or stands on private land, you will need permission from the landowner prior to putting them out.

I was also recently asked if a landowner could charge a fee for hunting wildlife on their land. The answer is no.

The rights to wildlife belong to the Crown, which means that it is unlawful to charge people to access your land for the purposes of hunting.

I appreciate that some may think that the wildlife lives on your land and may even live off your crops, but it is still unlawful to charge a fee to hunt on the land.

If we allowed landowners to charge for access to hunting, it would severely limit the access to hunting opportunities in the province.

A couple of other questions that were

posed to me recently include: Q: Can I charge a fee to have some Americans stay in my empty farm house while they are hunting ducks?

Yes. This is perfectly legal, as you are simply acting the same as a hotel. You can charge for accommodations, but you cannot charge for any other type of service, such as access to your land, showing them where to hunt or providing maps - you cannot act as a guide outfitter.

Q: Is it true that I can receive a reward if I provide information to the TIP program?

Yes, this is true. You may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000 if the information that you provide leads to a conviction. Calls are taken seven days a week, 24-hours a day and you may remain anonymous.

Q: If I got my licence and cannot use it, or purchased the wrong licence, can I get a refund?

No. You cannot get a refund if you just did not get time to get out hunting, or if you were unsuccessful in harvesting an animal.

There are some cases where a refund for a game licence will be considered. Examples of these may be a licence issued in error, an administrative error or in a case where the applicant cannot use the licence due to a medical emergency/injury or natural disaster.

Visit your local field office if you have questions regarding the potential for a licence refund. In some cases, a refund can be issued on the spot.

Well, until next

Fall boating - It takes a little bit more care

Boating in the fall offers colourful vistas, quiet anchorages and excellent fishing but it is not without its challenges that necessitate self-sufficiency and taking some additional precautions to keep from running into trouble.

The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) and the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation want to remind all boaters enjoying the fall season on the water to follow these tips to ensure that their excursions are both safe and enjoyable.

Before heading out, be sure to check the weather forecast. The mixing of warm and cold air can quickly spawn high winds and waves making it treacherous for small boats. Fog, too, is an issue at this time of year making visibility difficult. Should boaters find themselves in a fog bank, they should proceed slowly and sound their horn at regular intervals to alert other boaters of their presence.

Well into October, daytime temperatures can occasionally be balmy but dressing for the water temperature will help slow the onset of hypothermia should the unexpected happen and the boater find himself in the water. Accidental cold water immersion can be shocking, but people shouldn’t panic. It may take a minute or so to get their breathing under control after the initial shock but they will have at least 10-15 minutes, even in very cold water, to affect self-rescue before they start to lose muscle control in their arms and legs. This is where an approved lifejacket, either inflatable or inherently buoyant, is an essential part of a boater’s wardrobe to keep them afloat after they can no longer swim.

In the fall, there are fewer other boats on the water to offer assistance, if needed. Boaters should be sure to leave a float plan with a responsible person on shore who will know what to do if they’re overdue. A marine radio or cell phone will allow them to call for assistance should the need arise.

Having a few tools and spare parts aboard will also allow them to fix minor problems that might otherwise cause them to be stranded out on the water.

It’s important that boaters ensure that their boat and engine are in good shape and mechanically sound. Ethanol-based fuel can allow water contamination in the tank. The use of a fuel additive prevents water in the fuel line from freezing which

could cause the engine to chug to a halt. If the boat has portable fuel tanks, it’s a good idea to have a spare on board as a reserve.

When boaters head out, they should be wary of reduced water levels that can result after a long, hot and dry summer season. Some of a boater’s favourite shallow water fishing holes may be inaccessible at this time of year. Also, while underway, they should keep a sharp lookout for debris and chunks of ice that could penetrate the boat’s hull at speed.

“Spectacular colours, peaceful solitude and the crispness of the air make boating in the fall a wondrous experience,” says John Gullick, Chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council. “To make the most of this experience safely, however, boaters need to be extra diligent in their preparations before departing. Most important of these are checking the weather, dressing for the water temperature, wearing a lifejacket and leaving a float plan with a responsible person on shore who can call for help should the need arise.”

“We strongly urge all anglers and hunters using boats in their fall pursuits to take every precaution possible to ensure a safe and enjoyable outdoor experience” says Darrell Crabbe, Executive Director of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation.

Now that fall is here, boaters should make the most of what’s left of the boating season before the cold weather hits. By exercising a little caution and an ability to be self-sufficient when out on the water, they can more fully enjoy nature’s splendour and quiet waterways. Visit www.csbc.ca for more tips on boating safety.

Letter to the Editor Re - Appreciation for those who can and will speak publicly and comfortably about mental illness.

Recently we had the encouraging opportunity to attend Rose MacDonald›s Life Celebration. It was thoughtfully organized and presented and reflected the appreciation of the Rose we knew.

Illness of the mind, in what ever form it took, has in the past often been ignored, mocked and the individual shunned. One in five Canadians do or have suffered directly from some form or level of mental illness. Fortunately today, more and more individuals understand that a dysfunction of my liver, heart, lung, etc. is no different than that of my mind .

Here is the point of my letter, at the funeral Rose’s daughter spoke eloquently and comfortably about how mental illness had touched her family’s life and encour-

aged all of us to better understand and respond to mental illness no matter where it exists.

This type of leader ship speaks well for a more constructive environ-

ment for mental illness in the future.

Thus we encourage all to follow her example, speak out as you have opportunity.

Animals defined as pets

By Calvin Daniels So last week I filled this space with thoughts on how over the centuries farmers and pet hobbyists have modified a number of species through selective breeding.

While the pigeon, mentioned at some length last week, is exhibit one of that, but it extends across a wide range of animals we generally define as pets.

The dog was the first species to be domesticated and has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviours, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes. The result is a massively diverse range of breeds.

“The smallest known adult dog was a Yorkshire Terrier that stood only 6.3 cm (2.5 in) at the shoulder, 9.5 cm (3.7 in) in length along the head-andbody, and weighed only 113 grams (4.0 oz). The largest known dog was an English Mastiff which weighed 155.6 kg (343 lb) and was 250 cm (98 in) from the snout to the tail. The tallest dog is a Great Dane that stands 106.7 cm (42.0 in) at the shoulder,” related Wikipedia.

Certainly it is hard to fathom the St. Bernard and Chihuahua being from the same root wild wolf centuries ago. And, you can include the whippet, sharpie and komondor to the list of breeds which look little like their cousins thanks to selective breeding modi-

fying the base stock.

It is very much the same story when you look at the domestic cat, the tailless manx, the hairless Sphynx and the Scottish Fold with its strange ears, and the long-haired Persian are distinctly different from each other, diverging from an ancient shared ancestry through selective breeding which has effectively modified the cat.

The same story can be told regarding rabbits, gold fish and guinea pigs.

But it extends to plants as well. Flower lovers have bred for colours in flowers from orchids to gladiolas for centuries, modifying the plant from its basic form in the process.

Today the process of modification of plants in particular is being speeded along by the sciences of gene transfer, but is the result so different?

There is science in developing a new pigeon breed, just as there is science in an herbicide tolerant oilseed.

The question then becomes why some are suddenly fearing what science is creating today, while modified species exist all around us now.

It is a question the agriculture sector must answer in a way that will allow those with concerns in the public to feel secure in the modern science of GMO.

Crop report for period Sept. 4 to 10 Favourable weather for most of the province allowed producers to continue to make good progress in the field, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report.

Fifty-eight per cent of the crop is now in the bin, well ahead of the five-year (2013-2017) average of 37 per cent for this time of year. Twenty-eight per cent of the crop is now swathed or ready to straight-cut.

Rain showers toward the end of the week slowed down field progress, particularly in the eastern and northern regions, where the majority of the rain was recorded.

Harvest is most advanced in the southwest region, where 82 per cent of the crop is now combined.

The southeast region has 77 per cent combined, the west-central 53 per cent and the east-central region has 49 per cent combined. The northeast region has 27 per cent combined while the northwest region has 16 per cent combined.

Ninety-six per cent of lentils, 94 per cent of field peas, 73 per cent of durum, 46 per cent of spring wheat, 38 per cent of canola, and 14 per cent of flax and soybeans have now been combined. Sixty per cent of durum is estimated to grade 1CW, while 34 and six per cent is estimated to grade 2CW and 3CW, respectively. Fifty per cent of the pea crop is estimated to fall in the 1 CAN grade, while 46 and

Don’t miss a thing!

four per cent are estimated to grade 2 CAN and 3 CAN, respectively. Forty-six per cent of the lentils are estimated to grade 1 CAN, while 49 and five per cent is predicted to fall in the 2 CAN and 3 CAN category, respectively.

Across the province, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 25 per cent adequate, 40 per cent short and 35 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 20 per cent adequate, 32 per cent short and 48 per cent very short.

Most areas of the province reported frost. Crop damage varies depending on maturity of the crop and degree of freezing temperatures.

Producers are busy swathing and combining crops.

SaskPower says there were five reported cases of farm machinery contacting electrical equipment in the last week. Producers are reminded to take a moment to identify overhead lines this harvest season. More safety information is available at www. saskpower.com/safety.

Quote of the Week...

“The purpose of our lives is to be happy.”

- Dalai Lama

By-elections suggest Sask. Party still solid

By Murray Mandryk The Saskatchewan Party’s Sept. 12 by-election loss in Regina Northeast doesn’t much affect the short or even long-term future of this government.

After all, the Sask. Party still holds 48 of Saskatchewan Legislature’s 61 seats, so New Democrat Yens Pedersen’s win changes very little.

The truth be told, this city seat was a way bigger deal for the 13-member NDP Opposition than it was for the Sask. Party.

Because funding at the Saskatchewan legislature is directly tied to the number of MLAs you have, another member means more in Opposition because it means money to hire staff researchers and communicators.

Moreover, losing a city seat would not have looked good for the NDP. But a loss in a city seat, even one it held, isn’t much of threat to the Sask. Party’s long-term viable, either. Here’s why: Pedersen’s approximate 730-vote win (the official Election Saskatchewan tally is yet to come) is a healthy enough win.

And for the NDP, it does mark a significant turnaround from the former Sask. Party finance minster Kevin Doherty’s 2011 and 2016 wins that were by even widen margins.

This win now followed two other city NDP byelection wins in Saskatoon Meewasin (Ryan Meili) and Saskatoon Fairview (Vicki Mowat) since the 2016 election.

This has added significant because the federal election scheduled for 2019 will see two sitting MLAs, Corey Tochor in Saskatoon and Warren Steinley in Regina, contest seats for the federal Conservatives. That means that their current respective seats of Saskatoon Eastview and Regina Northwest will face by-elections because the next provincial general election won’t be until 2020 and our law stating no legislative seat can no be vacant for more than six months.

Two more city seat by-elections losses for the Sask. Party is a distinct possibility. Given the trend we witnessed in Regina Northeast, one might think a couple more by-elections win would give the NDP plenty of momentum going into that 2020 general election.

But we need to remember just how solid the Sask. Party is in rural Saskatchewan.

Between the NDP wins in the two Saskatoon byelections and its win earlier this month in Regina Northeast, the Sask. Party won three rural elections in Kindersley (won by Ken Francis to replace Bill Boyd), Swift Current (won by Everett Hindley to replace Brad Wall) and Melfort (won by Todd Goudy to replace the late Kevin Phillips).

Kindersley is as solid conservative country.

You’d have to go back to the Tommy Douglas era to find a time when the CCF/NDP last had a legitimate shot of winning. Both Swift Current and Melfort did flirt with NDP representation after the demise of the Grant Devine Progressive Conservative government.

However, it’s been 27 years ago since Devine was in power and everywhere in rural Saskatchewan has become rock solid for the Sask. Party. Or at least, that’s what the recent by-elections suggest.

The margins of victory for the Sask. Party candidates in the three rural by-elections was between 75 per cent and 85 per cent of the popular vote. By comparison, the margins of victory by NDP candidates in the three city by-election was between 50 per cent and 60 per cent.

Pedersen’s win in Regina Northeast was solid enough, but this part of the city voted NDP for 40 years prior to Doherty.

There are more than a dozen urban seats in Regina, Saskatoon, Moose Jaw and Prince Albert, all of which, the Sask. Party now hold, that will be tougher for the NDP to win.

And besides having to win all of these city seats, the NDP by-elections would still have to make a breakthrough somewhere in the Sask. Party’s rural fortress.

Recent by-elections suggest there is no chance of that.

Try and guess what this might be worth There are those among us who have a keen sense for bargain hunting. Their laser focus for finding what they need at a price they are willing to pay can be quite extraordinary, while for the rest of us coming across a great bargain seems to be more of a happy accident than anything else. Then there are the experienced garage sale enthusiasts and thrift store Shelley Luedtke shoppers who have a nose for spotting something others easily overlook.

It is estimated there are 165,000 garage sales held each week across the United States and that 690,000 people buy at least one item each week at such sales. Thrift stores meanwhile are a multibillion dollar enterprise with much of that revenue coming from the resale of clothes, jewelry and furniture.

Sometimes this type of bargain hunting results in far more than the buyer anticipated. Like the student in Germany who bought a second-hand couch for $215. After getting it home a remarkable discovery was made. Tucked inside the couch was a 17th century Venetian painting which sold at an art auction for $27,630.

Then there’s the shopper at a thrift store in Phoenix who came across a watch he suspected could be worth much more than the $5.99 price tag it carried. He was right. He sold it weeks later for $35,000.

Five years ago a family in New York visited a neighbourhood garage sale and paid $3 for a small bowl. Years later, on the advice of friends, they had it looked at by an expert. Their $3 bowl turned out to be a 1,000 year old Chinese treasure which they sold for a whopping $2.2 million.

But my favourite story, though not the financial windfall of others, is the couple who came upon a vintage West Point sweatshirt at their local Goodwill store which they bought for less than a dollar. One night they were watching a documentary on NFL coach Vince Lombardi and became convinced he was wearing the sweatshirt they had purchased.

They were able to authenticate it and sold it a year later for $43, 020.

I wonder sometimes if we underestimate what we have or fail to recognize how truly valuable something is--not because of what it might fetch at auction, but because of what it represents in our lives. People can assess their homes, vehicles, stocks and bonds and get an accurate picture of what their monetary worth is, but there are so many other things that on their face don’t seem like too much, but are actually extraordinarily valuable. Hidden treasures we may not fully realize are there.

Consider the bowl on a counter that keys might get tossed into at the end of the day. Certainly nothing from an ancient Chinese dynasty. But look again. The bowl holds proof that we have means to go where we want to go. It represents transitions in life. Freedom. Independence. Or the recognition that driving should now be someone else’s responsibility.

That space in between so filled with adventures, obligations, and the remarkable privilege to climb in and simply…go.

Then there’s the cupboard or closet filled with a mishmash of storage containers. Odd colours.

Maybe random lids…reminding us we often have more than we require at any given time. The treasure of needs being met…and then some. An abundance of food that gets stored as leftovers. Excess clothes and shoes. Blankets. Holiday decorations. We have so much we need to find ways to keep it.

Or the stack of note pads and scrap paper that sits on a desk or in a drawer, floating around with an assortment of pens and pencils. Indications that lists can be made or ideas jotted down. Reminders of what to buy, where to be and what to take. And at its root? A treasury of literacy allowing us to record what is important in the moment.

At the heart of finding treasure is seeing beyond the item into the circumstances that brought it into our lives. We may not see the value in something at first. We might need someone to point it out or draw us back in and remind us, but once we have discovered it we will see treasure everywhere. The deeply discounted things we have bought may not be turned around for profit, but they can demonstrate once again that most of what really matters doesn’t start with a dollar sign. That’s my outlook.

Managing Your Money: Tooth fairy teachings for your kids A wobbling baby tooth is a sign that the Tooth Fairy will soon be visiting. It’s also a sign for parents – that it’s time to help guide your kids through their important, first-time money activities.

Baby teeth earnings are more lucrative than you might think: In 2015, young Canadians could expect an average of $3.44 for a lost tooth – a 23 per cent increase over the 2014 average of $2.80 per tooth. That’s almost $70 for a full set of first teeth.* And depending on where they live in Canada, some youngsters can expect even more. In Québec, for example, the average Tooth Fairy payout is $4 while about five per cent of lucky young Canucks will find $20 per tooth under their pillow.** Here’s how you and the Tooth Fairy can help teach your young ones some basic lessons about money: Teach kids about handling coins and currency At some point, your child will want to save, spend or invest. Start

them off on the right track by having them touch and feel some coins and identify their value. Show them how money adds up – how two nickels equal a dime and five nickels equal a quarter. Get them a piggy bank and talk to them about the importance of saving for the things they want and for emergencies.

Help your kids with first purchases Use the Tooth Fairy money to teach them the value of balancing wants and needs.

Have them set aside money for savings and when their savings goal has been reached, reward them with a trip to the store for a small purchase. Show them how to shop for the best price and let your child complete the transaction on their own.

Make the connection between kids and cash The Tooth Fairy likely isn’t the only source of cash for your kids – cash is often a popular birthday or holiday gift – so use each “gift” to reinforce the value of saving and spending wisely.

Introduce the concept of

Paws & Claws

budgeting As your kids get older, have them allocate their spending in line with their need to save according to a basic budget.

Bank on it Show them how adults handle money by regularly taking them to the bank and, when it’s time, have them open their own savings account.

A visit from the Tooth Fairy is an ideal opening to teach your kids important money lessons. It can also serve as a reminder to you that it’s time to talk to your professional advisor about your own financial life. *The moment of Tooth: how the Tooth Fairy can teach your kids about money

How to train your dog using clicker training Clicker training, a technique based on positive reinforcement, is increasingly popular with canine educators. Want to try out this teaching method with your own four-legged companion? Here’s what you need to know.

As the name suggests, the technique revolves around the use of a clicker, a small device that makes a clicking noise when a button is pressed. This simple gadget allows trainers to use sounds to communicate which behaviours will earn Fido a reward.

The goal of each training session is to teach your dog a specific command by conditioning him to associate the sound of the clicker to a reward (usually a treat).

Whether you’re teaching Fido to sit, roll over or shake your hand, it’s always best to start with simple commands and to keep each session short. Ten minutes per clicker training session is a good length.

Each time your dog successfully obeys a command, click and give him a treat.

Keep clicking and rewarding until the behaviour is fully learned. Simple and effective!

Keep in mind that clicker training uses positive reinforcement. If your dog doesn’t respond to your command, don’t punish him; simply don’t click or give him a treat. To keep him motivated and engaged, make the ex-

Bruce Penton Baseball’s best player will be at home when the playoffs unfold this fall and Americans who only pay attention to baseball in October will once again be oblivious to the talents of Mike Trout, the centrefielder extraordinaire of the Los Angles Angels.

Trout has completed seven full seasons with the Angels and he has played in the postseason only once. And it was a dismal performance for Trout and the Angels, who lost all three games to Kansas City Royals in 2014 with Trout batting .083.

Many observers felt this year might be different for the Angels, who signed the most sought after free agent in the game, Japanese outfielder-slugger-pitcher Shohei Ohtani. Even with Ohtani cracking 20 homers and batting in the high .290s, and posting a 4-2 pitching record before hurting his arm, the Angels couldn’t com-

Critics might say that not making regular appearances in the postseason reflects on the value of a player, but you can’t argue with Trout’s stats. Year after year, his numbers are among the best in baseball, and he has two Most Valuable Player awards to his credit.

Baseball insiders say the OPS statistical category (on-base plus slugging percentages) shows a player’s true value and if that is so, Trout is the game’s best hitter. His late-September OPS of 1.096 led the majors and he was one of only three players with numbers above 1.000 (Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez of Boston were the others, but well back).

Another recently new stat is WAR (wins above replacement; in other words, how many wins a player contributes to his team above what a replacement player would earn). Trout’s WAR of 9.4 (and career WAR of 63.5) are proof of Trout’s value.

Oh, by the way, he’s

also one of the best defensive centerfielders in the game, and has an arm like a cannon. And he’s a top-20 base stealer, too, with 24 through mid-September.

Add it all up – batting, throwing, chasing down fly balls, stealing bases — and it’s easy to see why the Angels are talking about offering Trout a lifetime contract. It’s just too bad his team can’t make the playoffs so the rest of the world can see what southern California fans have been seeing for the past seven years.

• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Packers pivot Aaron Rodgers’ new contract totals $180 million with performance incentives. He’ll still play quarterback the same way, only deeper in the pockets.”

• Another one from Currie: “Rest in peace Burt Reynolds, perhaps the most famous moustached star in history.

Unless you include those East German women shotputters.”

• Norman Chad of the Washington Post on Twitter: “In the NFL, there is the ‘Tom Brady Rule’: If a defender appears to touch Brady after he releases the ball, it is roughing the passer. In the NBA, there is the ‘James Harden Rule’: If a defender appears to defend Harden as he slithers through the lane, it is a shooting foul.”

• Chad again: “True story: I bumped into Harden the other day at the supermarket,

and the security guard removed me from the store.”

• Comedy writer Jim Barach: “Former NBA player Matt Barnes says he smoked pot before every game. Which explains why his favourite move was the ‘pick and roll-your-own.’”

• Currie again: “Exracecar driver Danica Patrick is dating Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. After years with NASCAR, this is the closest she’s been to the leader of the Pack.”

• Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “The Cleveland Browns won, so

Bud Light unlocked beer coolers all over town with 300 bottles of beer in them. They decided this was smarter than their other promotion: Free Whisky and Chainsaws.”

• Kaseberg again: “The Cleveland Browns won their first game in 635 days. To give you an idea how long ago what was, 635 days ago they were the Cleveland Light-Beige.”

• Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show: “North and South Korea say they want to host the 2032 Summer Olympics together. The highlight

will be when the athletes try pole-vaulting from North Korea into South Korea.”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times with his Fact of the Week: “It took Tigers pitcher Denny McLain just 49 more days to post his 30th victory in 1968 than it took the Orioles to win their 30th this season.”

Raiders coach Jon Gruden, to reporters, on why his team has only two sacks in two games after trading away Khalil Mack: “It’s hard to find a great pass-rusher.” Care to comment? Email brucepenton2003@yahoo. ca

NEWS

A familiar face joins the Observer especially in smaller communities.

We’ve survived radio, TV as well as the Internet and social media. In fact, we are much more like a media company with a printed product complimented with a digital platform and social media - a big part of what we do as well. We also can provide commercial printing to our customers. We are also about REAL news not fake.”

It was as a marketing manager where Sean became a big newspaper supporter especially when he saw how successful they were in getting his message out especially with Bear Claw.

“It was during my time with the casino that I got to know Alison Dunning at the Observer. We just clicked and put together some great campaigns.

When she announced she was leaving, the door nicely opened for me.”

With Alison now off to Medicine Hat, Sean moves into his new position as an advertising and marketing consultant. Home is still at Kenosee Lake and his mom still spends her summers here.

Yes big shoes to fill, but Sean also appreciates all the help and support Alison has provided him leading up to his starting next week. “Ali-

son did such a great job here for many years. For me, I just find it awesome to re-connect with local businesses and be a part of the community again. I’ve already had a number of texts and emails welcoming me back. I even sold an ad on the golf course the other day and haven’t even started yet. I also just found out recently that I was starting during National Newspaper Week. How cool is that?”

Sean can be reached at 306-575-8577 or shoot him an email at foo_man00@hotmail. com.

Wawota High School golfers battle the elements at provincials

Sean Choo Foo has joined The Observer staff as advertising and marketing consultant.

Some people are just meant to end up where they end up. Locally raised Sean Choo Foo has tried many different ventures in his career, but somehow he always seems to find his way back home. “I’m a local boy from Wawota and have moved away a few times but always happy when the path takes me back here.”

After getting his diploma in Hotel and Restaurant Management, Sean enjoyed a lengthy career in hospitality and marketing. He often worked his way up to management positions, and always enjoyed the 18094SS1 18094SS2

opportunity to work with the public and build successful ventures.

His list is impressive. From his days at the Kenosee Inn as Food and Beverage Manager to a Regina Chinese Food restaurant called Ho-lee Chow, then back to Kenosee Gardens and Bar-Bar as General Manager, he also spent many years in the casino business at both the Bear Claw Casino and at Sandy Hills Casino in Carberry. Along the way he was also an owner of a Brandon nightclub, a Pub and Grill in Whitewood, the Railway Station in Kipling, and a

Steakhouse Pub in Moosomin.

I think it would be fair to say Sean is all about business and people. “Yes I have had many great learning experiences in my life. The Observer opportunity just brings me full circle.” With his extensive marketing and business savvy, Sean also understands what it takes to make a business successful, and the role of media. “I hear it all the time from people that newspapers are dying, but take a look at how many copies come out every week in Canada, and the role they play

The Wawota High school golf team had a successful time up at North Battleford for Provincial golf. They battled the elements including snow and very cold temperatures.

Anna finished 14th improving by 6 strokes on day 2 and Jordan finished 20th. Theoron placed 10th out of 80 some boys and also was 6 strokes better on day 2.

The team is very young so the future looks bright for upcoming years. Congratulations to coach Elly and thanks for all the time you put in.

Golf Kenosee has been selected to host Mixed Provincials for adults next year. Dates are August 24 and 25.

DRILLING REPORT

Friday, September 28, 2018

OILFIELD DIRECTORY

Pause for Reflection

The drilling report

By Ken Rolheiser www.kenrolheiser.com

Treasuring the final tear of a loved one Often patients who are about to die will shed a single tear, and in some instances a second tear. This phenomenon known as lacrima mortis or the tear of death is a source of mystery that transcends this mortal realm.

Dying people often refer to “going home” as they journey to the “other side”. But mystery surrounds this event.

Dr. Lwema Matthew relates the story of a blind nine-year-old with a terminal illness who said he was in contact with three angels and was able to accurately describe what people were wearing even though his eyes had been surgically removed.

Recently members of my brother’s family saw one tear, and later a second, as he was born to eternal life. Palliative care workers and family members attending the dying have often witnessed the shedding of a single tear, or often two, as a loved one leaves this world.

On line comments describe this phenomenon: “…something I saw touched my heart in a way that will change the way I look at life forever.

As he was passing and

we were talking to him, a tear welled up in his eye. ‘He’s crying!’ my mom and I said to each other...”

“My Dad died on Easter Sunday of 2014.

[When]My sister arrived [and]… started speaking, a single tear ran down his face... I went and sat beside him… telling him I loved him...

He let another tear fall.

It broke my heart.”

My suggestion is not to feel sadness over these final tears. If we are privileged enough to be present at this moment of passage, it will become a fond memory in time. “Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thoughts.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley Some nursing staffs attending the dying provide a tear cloth the family may use to treasure the final tear of a loved one. Some have incorporated these into flower bouquets at a wedding or some such thing, an attempt to share the beauty of what we cannot see in these events.

Doctor I. Lichter studied this phenomenon in 100 patients nearing death. Fourteen shed a final tear at the time of death, and 13 within the last 10 hours of life. That

final tear might reflect the sadness of leaving, but it might reflect seeing the face of God or the joy of greeting loved ones on the other side.

An experience I have witnessed more than once is that of a dying person fixing their eyes on something beyond us in the room. A radiant smile replaces the pain and worry for the moment.

“It is a relaxing of the tear duct that releases that final tear”, some say. If you are like me, you can accept this experience shared by one who lost her mother: “in the final minute of her life she shed a tear… and then about half a minute later another tear flowed exactly the same way… I dabbed [it] up. “… I think my mom was saying, Thank you kids for being here and taking good care of me, it’s been wonderful and oh my how I would like to continue… but alas it’s not to be so I bid you adieu, both fondly and sadly…

“Mom, we will miss you very much. You were really something.

And you wrote a great last chapter for yourself and for your loved ones.

Thank you.”

Alida News Submitted by Edel Cowan

Kim Wonnick held a crystal grid class at Soul Hideout in Estevan on Sept. 19, those attending from Alida were Shelly Cowan and Marcia Gervais.

A senior volleyball team from Oxbow played in a tournament in Regina over the weekend, playing with the team from Alida are Cordelia Patton and Charity Lemieux. They had good games for the first games of the season. Good luck girls as you progress along in your games.

Not much news this past week – guess the weather wasn’t very cooperative to let things happen in the area. Not even any harvesting being done, it too is at a standstill right now, but hopefully one can get back into the fields and wrap up the harvest for another year. It’s been cold, rainy and just plan miserable. It sure does remind you that it is fall and that winter (hate to think about that) is just around the corner

too. Talking about fall – there sure are fall signs now – colorful leaves falling, garden produce done growing and being picked and taken indoors (except for potatoes and carrots – the longer they stay out the better), as well as birds flocking together, large and small wildlife on the move, and it’s surely getting colder at nights (had a couple of nights with a touch of frost). According to the calendar it is now officially fall. One thing good about this time of the year – It’s Fall Supper time – Mm-m-M delicious food.

Keeping my eyes open to be ready for that first supper to be held.

I’m receiving bookings for tables at our annual Craft/Trade show – to date have eight tables booked – which includes – woodcraft, baking, sewing, Steeped tea, Norwex, Tupperware, knitting, elevacity, pampered chef, and party lite. Hoping and waiting to hear from you soon if

you’re interesting in attending.

Noticed some activity happening in and around the rink – WHY - you ask? Halloween is in the air and fast approaching – the transformation of the rink’s curling ice surface to Haunted House Hallways is in progress.

Beware and be careful – movers, construction and spooks will be occurring sooner than you realize. Be on the lookout and drive with care around the rink. Things may happen. Keep posted for updates from time to time. The spooks too may be arriving soon.

Please remember folks to keep me posted on any happening in and around Alida and your place – I appreciate hearing from you – either call (306443-2496) or text (306485-8561) or e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel.net) – I’ll be waiting.

Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safe and Take care.

Obituary Ronald “Cork” Mursell 1928 - 2018

Cork was born March 23, 1928 in Alameda, Saskatchewan.

He was the 5th child of George and Mary Mursell.

He moved to Estevan in his early years and was raised and educated there.

He was a hard worker and a good son. He started out setting pins for the bowling alley and later delivering telegrams.

At 15 years of age he was out working, sending money home to support his mother and family.

He started working for the CNR (Canadian National Railways) in 1943 and continued there for 40 years, retiring in 1983.

He met Violet Strange while working in Craik, Saskatchewan. They were married on November 13, 1947. The honeymoon consisted of a trip to Regina to buy furniture. They moved from Craik to Lampman where their three children (Sharon, Rita and Kevin) were born. Vi returned to Craik for the girls births, but Kevin was born in Lampman. They remained there until 1957, when Cork became a station agent at Parkman. He was part of the Parkman community for the next 17 years.

Always ready to help, he spent his time playing with his children, teaching them to curl (starting at age 6), playing ante ante I over in the back yard and cricket in the driveway as well as baseball. He tied their skates so they could skate on the creek and later helped each year to �lood a low area in town for an outdoor skating rink.

He was always well liked and specially loved by the kids and was famous for his Donald Duck quacking voice.

Cork helped with everything, including the local rink; serving in the Redvers Chapter of the BPOE (Benevolent Protection of Elks), building a play area in the backyard and a garage out front.

In his “spare” time, he worked for a farmer after work and set up machinery for the local garage owner.

He and Vi maintained a large garden every year. He hoed, planted and harvested it.

He never stopped gardening, even in retirement, until the lot his garden was located on, was sold.

Even then he maintained a raspberry patch in his yard and gave away the berries.

The CNR began closing down stations in the early ‘70s so Cork began a series of moves. He went from Parkman to Vibank and from there to Star City and Tisdale for a while and then on to Kindersley. Finally at 55, he had had enough moves and he retired in 1983.

He started his retirement on a lovely little lot in Manor on Beckon Street. He gardened, tended his raspberries, helped his grown children and was a friend to all he knew, often snowblowing for his neighbors.

He was active in the Manor Christian Fellowship Church (MCFC) for several years, serving as the treasurer while he was there. He later began attending at the Carlyle Full gospel Church which he stayed at as long as he was able.

He loved his birds and had many bird houses and feeders outside his window.

Cork continued to love the children although he was known to “bark” at the ones who passed through his yard or stole the berries he so freely gave away.

He was also known for his sweet tooth and had a bag of chocolate bars stashed in his closet at any given time. His great grandson,who stayed with him one winter, remembers that grandpa told him that if anything happened to him, the stash was in the closet and he could have it.

He lost his wife of over 60 years in 2009. It was a serious blow for him.

When his health began failing, he had help come in, and �inally moved to the Moose Mountain Care Home in Carlyle, where he remained until he passed away.

Cork passed away with his daughters at his side on September 13, 2018.

He is remembered by those who knew him as a loving, kind gentleman, always polite and always helpful, with a great sense of humor. Even in his declining years, the staff at the lodge recognized his gentle nature, calling him “cute” and “funny”.

He is survived by his three children: Sharon (Ray) Burns; Rita (Tom) Kyle; Kevin (Dianne) Mursell; 9 Grandchildren: Carmen (Gary) Bresch; Alanna (Paul) Gosselin; Matthew (Cherise) Burns; Ronald (Kara) Kyle; Noel (Tara) Kyle; Lindsay (Jamie) Dyer; Tyler (Holly) Kyle; Danny(Cynthia) Mursell; Patrick Mursell; 22 Great Grandchildren: Keenan Bresch; Raquel Bresch; ShariLee Gosselin; Jonathan Gosselin; Kennedy Burns; Brayden Burns; Bobby Kyle; Cauldin Kyle; Latisha Tornabeni; Taylor Kyle; Tanner Schwengler; Kaira Schwengler; Austin Kyle Faith Kyle; Donovan Dyer; Ryder Dyer; Mikayla Dyer; Sierra Kyle, Jordan Mursell; Deklan Mursell; Raven Mursell; 1 great great grandchild: Kieran Kyle.

He was predeceased by his parents, George and Mary; His wife, Violet; His siblings: Brothers Tubby and Ed; and sisters Eva Dukart; Vi Dukart; and Betty Johnson. Great grandson, Brennan Noel Kyle.

The family would like to thank all those who loved and cared for Cork and everyone who has sent such beautiful thoughts and prayers and those who have helped in any way with the �inal arrangements.

Doing it God’s way

By Linda Wegner Have you ever been in a situation where a sense of obligation took precedence over your enjoyment of the event?

I sure have and hockey games are just one example. Sincere apologies to my son, my dear friends and all others who derive great pleasure over seeing a puck scoot from one end of the arena to the other but I just can’t get excited over it. On the other hand, I doubt that those same folks would enjoy sitting through a classical concert as much as do. In other words, the same things don’t always appeal to the same people. How’s this for an example: In my latest “read through the entire Bible” adventure, once again I found myself slogging through the Book of Exodus. But not only that, in

The Carlyle Observer has an immediate opening for a dedicated and enthusiastic full-time Journalist. Our one-person newsroom is responsible for delivering solid news coverage and compelling photos for communities in Southeast Saskatchewan and working to break important stories that matter to our readers.

The ideal candidate will be a self-starter, a person who’s not afraid to go the extra mile to capture and tell human-focused stories.

We’re looking for someone who can: • generate story ideas • write up to 10 stories a week (sports, news, opinion and features) • take compelling, eye-catching photos • keep our community updated by posting to the website/social media • be a team player who is flexible to changing work needs Qualifications: • a driver’s license and working vehicle • proficiency in English and CP style • adherence to journalistic ethics • ability to write accurate and fair stories to deadline • computer skills in a Mac environment • a post-secondary qualification in journalism or a related field would be an asset • basic knowledge of Photoshop and InDesign would be an asset • possess excellent communication skills

the back of my mind was the realization that Leviticus was coming next.

Like Exodus, Leviticus is the next Old Testament history book filled with instructions. “Read on,” I found myself exhorting myself “Read and on and on.”

This week, however, a fresh new light was cast on these verses, a light that will forever change my attitude toward the multiplicity of God’s instructions and stringent demands regarding the people’s place and mode of worship. To that I gratefully add: “Thank God for the freedom we now enjoy because of Christ’s sacrifice on Calvary.”

Here’s the catch: Just because I don’t have to sew curtains and transport a sacred Ark in a particular way, doesn’t remove the obligation I have to walk before God and people in a manner that is marked by integrity, honesty and genuine caring for others.

Sometimes it doesn’t seem too hard; other times, it’s downright tough to respond to unpleasant people and difficult circumstances.

“The integrity of the upright will guide them….” Proverbs 11:3 Music and Exodus – both gifts!

“We are really excited about the positive impact the pipeline has made in our community”

How does the Line 3 replacement benefit small communities?

> Enbridge is replacing its Line 3 pipeline near your community.

Here are some ways communities are benefiting: Investment in Community Organizations We are proud to support organizations that promote safety, environmental and social issues within communities. That’s why in 2017 alone, across Canada, we invested more than $15 million in communities near our pipelines to help strengthen communityfocused initiatives.

Evan Toews General Manager, Winkler Co-op

“The pipeline has been here for a number of years and when we heard that Line 3 was going to be replaced, we were super excited. There is a bit of a buzz knowing there will be hundreds of people in town on a daily basis. We’ve been working with Enbridge to donate equity earned by their employees using their Co-op number to the local community. We’re really grateful that Enbridge has looked into where they can support locally.”

Fueling Quality of Life The pipeline replacement will result in an extra $108.2 million in tax revenue for Manitoba—funds typically used for schools, roads, community projects and other services that sustain our quality of life.

Boosting Local Businesses As our crews move through your area, they require goods and services such as lodging, laundry, gas, hardware and much more.

Friday, September 28, 2018 NEWS Photo speed enforcement to be permanent after successes reducing collisions and injuries

With two years of data proving drivers reduce their speed on photo speed enforced roads, and that the num-

ber and severity of collisions and injuries on those roads go down as a result, the Government of Saskatchewan has de-

cided the photo speed enforcement (PSE) program will continue on a permanent basis.

The results of the

PSE pilot show that the number of speeding drivers has gone down in both high-speed locations and school zones, resulting in fewer collisions and injuries.

“Our government is committed to making Saskatchewan roads safer, and photo speed enforcement is an important tool in achieving that,” Minister Responsible for SGI Joe Hargrave said. “Excessive speed is one of the leading causes of death and injury on Saskatchewan roads.”

In 2016, there were 22 fatalities and 579 injuries in speed-related crashes in Saskatchewan. In 2017, speed was a factor in collisions that resulted in 11 deaths and 582 injuries. An evaluation of the PSE pilot shows an average of 28 fewer collisions resulting in casualties in the clearly marked highspeed PSE areas per year. This meant an estimated 40 fewer injuries per year.

The program achieved its target of less than one per cent of drivers violating the speed limit, on average, at the high-speed locations. At school zone locations, the number of collisions resulting in casualties dropped by seven per year, leading

WOW!

to an estimated 10 fewer injuries per year.

The decision to continue with PSE allows consideration of using it at additional sites. A new committee will decide what high-risk areas around the province could benefit from photo speed enforcement. The committee will include representatives from: government, SGI, RCMP, municipal police, the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association, the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities and the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations.

As occurred with the pilot, any new location will have prominent and permanent signs to ensure drivers are aware they are approaching a PSE location. There will be a pre-determined warning period in any new site before tickets are issued.

The committee will also oversee allocation of money from a new Provincial Traffic Safety Fund, made up of revenue from PSE tickets.

Communities throughout the province will be able to apply to the fund for traffic safety improvements, even if there is no photo speed enforcement in their community.

“Frankly, we’d be happier if there were zero speeding tickets and zero revenue,” Hargrave said, “People who obey speed limits don’t get speeding tickets.

If someone chooses to drive faster than the legal limit in areas where signs clearly indicate photo speed enforcement is taking place, their fines will support additional traffic safety initiatives.”

Effective January 1, 2019, ticket revenue from PSE will be allocated as follows: · Highway locations – 25 per cent of ticket revenue goes to the General Revenue Fund (GRF); remaining 75 per cent goes to the Provincial Traffic Safety Fund, minus amount needed to recoup program expenses. · Municipal locations – 25 per cent of ticket revenue goes to the GRF; remaining 75 per cent will be split 50/50 between a Provincial Traffic Safety Fund and the municipality to be invested in traffic safety initiatives, minus amount needed to recoup program expenses. Eligible traffic safety initiatives could include traffic calming measures, traffic signal upgrades or pedestrian crossings.
