Kenosee Superslides open to the public again

By David Willberg and Kelly Johnson It was a week that Harvey and Jan Armstrong, owners of the Kenosee Superslides, won’t soon forget.

The popular attraction north of Carlyle was notified by the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) late on Aug. 20 that it would have to close, after the SHA deemed the facility structurally unsafe for public use. The Superslides shut down on Aug. 21, but was notified in the afternoon of Aug. 25 that it could open again, after the SHA showed up and gave the Superslides the OK to reopen much of its park.

The first day back was Aug. 26.

Jan Armstrong kept the public updated with a series of videos during the closure, starting with sombre videos Aug. 21 and 22, and then a highly upbeat video on Aug. 25 when he announced the reopening.

The banzai slide, the twister slides and the kiddie slides were allowed to reopen, but the tube slides were not.

“Hopefully we’re going to get some more information about that later in the week, and when I find out, I’ll let you know,” Jan Armstrong said.

Doug Dahl, a spokesperson with the SHA, said the agency has granted a probation-

ary licence to the Superslides for the operation of specific slides within the park. The owner has been informed of the terms of the probationary licence.

Late last week, Dahl said the SHA had cancelled the operational license for public health and safety reasons, although specifics weren’t given.

In the video on Aug. 21, Armstrong said the accusation was “unwarranted,” and based on the feeling of an individual rather “documented evidence of an expert or a waterslide specialist.”

The Superslides initially cancelled the morning session on Aug. 21, but that was extended into the weekend and then this week.

“Our park was one of the safest water parks in Canada last year. The numbers prove it,” said Armstrong, who apologized repeatedly in the first video.

He also thanked those who have supported them in the past few days.

In the second video, Armstrong noted that nobody from the government is in their office or answering phone calls, so there’s nothing they could do until early this week.

Any tickets from the closure will be refunded.

After last week’s closure occurred, a petition was launched on the change.org website, call-

The Kenosee Superslides is able to start welcoming patrons again, after it was closed for five days recently by the Saskatchewan Health Authority. File photo ing for the Superslides to open again. It attracted 4,572 signatures before the slides were reopened.

Kenneth Sibbald, who started the petition, said staff members at the Superslides work long, hard hours keeping up the slides to avoid injuries and keep people safe.

“The slides are not only a water park, local businesses count on the tourism to bring money into the area. Thousands of people come every year and now those businesses have had those tourism dollars cut off.”

The Armstrongs have been vigilant when it comes to safety.

The water park had its equipment and slides inspected by members

Carlyle

of a structural engineering firm, at the request of the owners, last summer, and no problems or recommendations had been identified at that time.

The Kenosee Superslides had a late start to the 2020 season in late July due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since that time, they have been limited to 150 people in the facility at a time, so they are open for fourhour sessions starting at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. There has also been enhanced cleaning efforts at the site.

Their season is expected to end Sept. 7.

The water park had met all provisions set out by the SHA in order to open due to the pandemic restrictions.

Jan Armstrong is excited that people can start visiting the Kenosee Superslides once again.

File photo Normally the Superslides would have more than 7,000 people pass through its gates in a week, but now it has just over 2,000 people

per week. It attracts people from throughout the province and across Canada, and in a normal year, has a high number of visitors from the U.S.

Tourist of the Week loves camping locally

By Kelly Johnson of the Carlyle Observer Keith who is a carrier at is from

Heimbecker, retired letter Canada Post, Regina hav-

ing found a scenic spot to camp in the Lynwood Campground at Moose Mountain Provincial Park [MMPP].

This is the second trip to MMPP this summer; he and his wife Nadine

have camped at Kenosee Lake, having stayed in the nearby Fish Creek Campground on the first trip.

Heimbecker chose to come to MMPP because of the difficulty

posed by restrictions set because of the pandemic, making it difficult to camp at Rowan’s Ravine Provincial Park near Strasbourg, where they usually frequent in the summertime. Heimbecker had camped at MMPP several years ago, but had enjoyed the close proximity to the city that Rowan’s Ravine offers.

With the COVID-19 rules set by the government the couple has also made a trip to Madge Lake in eastern Saskatchewan, which is another destination that they had visited several years ago as well. The couple is planning to end the season with a camping trip to Rowan’s Ravine, noting they have several friends that they have made there, who they would enjoy seeing, to finish off the camping season sometime in September.

Hembecker was camping for six nights this trip at MMPP and will have camped for over a moth by sum-

mer’s end. The Heimbeckers like to camp in Saskatchewan and have stayed in Greenwater Provincial Park and also visited Waskesiu in Prince Albert National park on camping trips in other years.

The Heimbeckers have a medium-sized camper they pull with a truck and are geared up with chairs and the usual equipment needed to furnish the campsite for a relaxing stay.

The main focus for the couple when camping is to enjoy the relaxation and peace and quiet that the outdoors provide, noting that MMPP offers a great experience, with the well treed sites and great scenery. Heimbecker enjoys reading, making a campfire in the evenings and especially likes to take a drive to check out the local communities in the area.

He particularly likes to check out the Home Hardware in a community on the lookout for unique camping gadgets

he can use, to keep him prepared for whatever needs may arise when out in the woods, finding a small cylindrical flashlight and a lever action lid salt shaker on a sortie to Carlyle’s Home Hardware during this stay.

The Heimbeckers’ bring a well-stocked cooler and fridge with the necessary provisions to last the trip and they enjoy cooking either on the campfire or on a tailgate barbeque.

Typically they cook bacon and eggs or pancakes and sausages for breakfast and enjoy pork chops and steaks accompanied with potato and vegetables cooked in foil for the supper menu at days end.

The Heimbeckers have not camped outside the province as of yet, as he just recently retired from the post office and his wife still presently works. It is convenient staying close to the city.

The couple hopes to make a trip to Banff National Park once the travel restrictions ease.

Keith Heimbecker found a couple camping gadgets to add to his camper on an excursion into Carlyle to check out the local hardware store.

It is a berry good time at White Bear

By Kelly Johnson of the Carlyle Observer White Bear First Nations councillor Bernie Shepherd is the chief cook and bottle prepper at the canning class he is conducting.

The White Bear First Nations has an abundance of wild berries that grow naturally in the forested landscape located in the southeast of Saskatchewan and has provided locals and those visiting the area with bountiful berry picking seasons.

This year the saskatoons were plentiful and berry picking was an activity that many took part in.

With such a large quantity of berries many of the berries get frozen or canned to enjoy through the fall and winter months, or however long they last, so a canning class was offered to help those preserve the berries.

This year, because of the pandemic, most people have stockpiled anything and everything and food is one of those items. It is always good to have plenty in the pantry and freezer.

The chief and council at White Bear First Nation have made several plans to ensure there is no break in the food supply chain since the uncertainty of the pandemic first presented itself.

Shepherd had taught a canning class at the end of July for those that wanted to can saskatoons, so they can learn how to preserve the extra berries.

The class was well received by those attending, which also spawned another careful plan to hold another canning class on Aug. 20 and 21, again under

Shepherd’s instruction with veterans Jackie Maxie, Leanne Istach, Fonda Shepherd and Debbie Shepherd of the earlier class who came to assist with the undertaking.

For this class, the White Bear First Nation acquired 1,000 pounds of B.C. cherries, which were picked up by Edward LittleChief at an orchard near Kelowna and transported back to Shepherd’s for the canning class.

Shepherd supplied use of his shop, the equipment consisting of two 30,000 British thermal unit burners, large cauldrons and cooling shelves. The supplies were looked after by the White Bear First Nation.

The canning process takes on an almost assembly line like character with several steps that all need to culminate together at the end for the finished product.

The propane burners provide the heat for the cauldrons, which are used to prepare the syrup, sterilize the jars and to also heat the lids which have a rubber seal which seals best if heated till it softens, making for a perfect seal. The syrup is made from water, lemon juice; and honey which is used instead of white sugar to make for a completely natural product.

Two of the veterans were tasked with destemming all the cherries, which are then washed and ready for the procedure.

The sealer is then partially filled with a cup of syrup and the berries are placed in, filling it to about a half inch from the top, leaving the necessary headroom in the jar, then

Canning veterans are ready to assist at the canning class of Bernie Shepherd, right. Photo by Kelly Johnson the lid, which is wiped dry is put in place and secured.

The jar is then immersed in one of the cauldrons, which have the capacity for eight units, for 25 minutes creating a tight seal, and then moved to the cooling shelves.

The canning procedure continues till all the cherries are used up and ready for distribution.

The veterans and

Shepherd canned 32 jars on a test run the night before class to work out any issues in the canning process and then held the first class on Aug. 20, canning 192 one-litre units.

The second day of the class they were shooting for at least that, knowing that by days end all the fruits of their labours would be on the cooling shelves, producing another 292 one-litre jars.

The class was a great success with approximately 260 jars still to fill; each person in the class got to take home a tasty treat for their pantry and the First Nation will distribute the canned cherries throughout their community at the direction of chief and council, beginning with the elders.

Quote of the Week...

“Keep good company, read good books, love good things and cultivate soul and body as faithfully as you can.”

- Louisa May Alcott

Smart, consistent approach still needed

By Murray Mandryk

According to an Angus Reid Institute survey early this month, Saskatchewan people are among the worst cynical spreaders when it comes to COVID-19.

It wasn’t a very nice way for the polling company to put it nor was it accurate. But it may serve as a good reminder of why we still need understanding and patience five months into this pandemic.

The online survey, run between Aug. 5 and Aug. 8, probed 1,500 Canadians on their habits and attitudes towards the pandemic. It then placed people in three categories: the infection fighters, the inconsistent and the cynical spreaders.

About 30 per cent of Saskatchewan responders were deemed cynical spreaders, confessing to expanding their social circles, not practising the recommended six-foot physical distancing rules and maybe not washing hands and wearing mask as much as they should.

On average, only18 per cent of all Canadians fell into the cynical spreader category.

Conversely, 47 per cent of Canadians were deemed by the poll as infection fighters but only 32 per cent of Saskatchewan people were designated as such. Another 38 per cent of Saskatchewan people were deemed as inconsistent.

Of interest is how these trends somewhat mirror voting patterns. Conservative voters were about four times more likely to ignore COVID-19 protocols than Liberals or New Democrats.

There are a lot more Liberals and New Democrats in a place like Ontario, where 55 per cent of those surveyed claimed that they adhere to rules.

There again, it needs to be noted that Ontario hasn’t done as well as Saskatchewan in preventing the COVID-19 virus, either in total cases or deaths or on a per capita basis.

Perhaps it’s here where we need a little more perspective, a whole lot more patience and understanding in this on-going battle.

Rather than unfairly labelling Prairie people as spreaders, perhaps it would better if Angus Reid surveyors took into account the logical notion that people are less precautionary if COVID-19 is not prevalent in their area.

Consider specific regions in Saskatchewan like the southeast (the Estevan/Weyburn area) where there has only been 11 cases in total and zero active cases, or the central east (Yorkton/ Melville) where there have been only 33 cases.

Even Regina has only had a total 131 cases.

It might be helpful if people were given credit for making common sense decisions rather than chastised for not adhering to standards that aren’t critical to their circumstances.

There’s something to be learned by those in this province who have quick to criticize those in rural areas for supposedly not following the rules.

But after more than five months of this pandemic hopefully teaching us a little bit more about aunderstanding flows both ways.

Certainly, the outbreak in Hutterite communities, an estimated 390 of Saskatchewan’s 528 cases in the past month, has demonstrated that COVID-19 can and does happen anywhere.

So while it’s good to have decisions made locally, this pandemic shows we also need to have consistent provincewide policies to combat outbreaks whenever and wherever they do happen.

This especially applies to school re-openings.

For example, Premier Scott Moe is right that a local school district like Chinook in the southwest that ranges from small Hutterite colony schools to large classrooms in Swift Current needs to apply the right solutions for them. But shouldn’t that mean consistent provincial guidelines for all large schools and classrooms in the province?

Five months into this pandemic, we need to be patient, logical and smart.

Time to end the sore feet

Shelley Luedtke When our girls were little we would set aside a day every few months to go through the box.

It was a large, heavy-duty container used to store the clothes, shoes and boots we had been given by families whose children had outgrown them. It didn’t take long for them to learn that if something was too big it would go back in the box to try another time, while if the item was too small it would be put in a pile to be passed along to another family.

Our youngest daughter quickly developed a trick for dealing with shoes depending on whether she liked them or not. Even as a young child the girl knew what she wanted.

When she was about five, we pulled out a pair

of pink sandals that she thought were very pretty but we could see were clearly too small. Undeterred, she crammed her feet into them to prove they would work.

“Perfect,” she said with a grin, unwilling to show us the way her toes were curled up under the strap.

Knowing we had to put those in the giveaway box, I attempted to distract her with a pair of brown shoes instead. It was obvious she didn’t like them nearly as much as the pink ones. She slipped them on and even though they were way too big, she looked at me, squiggled up her nose and said, “Oh no.

They’re pinchy.”

Her feet were swimming in them but she didn’t like them and wanted them moved to the giveaway box.

There are areas of my life that pinch that I need to get better at dealing with. There are other times I get myself in situations that simply don’t fit me well. Maybe it’s things I don’t want to deal with or circumstances where I overestimate my need to be involved. But trying to make a situation fit, or deciding to ignore

what is obvious because it’s more comfortable, just creates problems.

I can point to times in my life when I went with the pretty pink option and tried to force a situation simply because it looked more attractive. It was not the right choice for me but I crammed down what I should have done because I thought others would like it better. Then there are the times I was presented with the sturdy brown option.

It was the better choice but it wasn’t flashy or attention grabbing, and honestly required more patience to move ahead with. It was ultimately the better choice but really, why should I have to wait, or work hard at it when others get the prettier, more charming options?

In the coming months we will be finding our way back into more of what our lives looked like previous to March 2020. Some activities will resume, others may not, either based on recommendations by others … or what we decide on our own.

Many of us are facing a watershed mo-

ment. We are being given the chance to consider where our time, energy and resources will be going. We’ve had the opportunity to reflect on the things we were or weren’t doing prior to the shutdown and now is the moment to seriously consider what deserves our efforts as we move forward.

Are we putting on shoes of involvement because they genuinely fit or are we trying to make things work that don’t suit us nearly as well? They’re pinchy, too cumbersome or simply not right for us. Yes, we can grow into roles and work at making them a better fit, but first let’s be sure true desire, interest and passion is there from the start.

We need to dig deep into the box of possibilities in our life to find what works. If we’re going to resume all the running again, we should take a moment and ensure it is taking us in the direction we want to go. In our eagerness to get going we need to be sure we put on the right running shoes. What fits best is what’s best for us. That’s my outlook.

Golfer of the Week loves golfing with family

By Kelly Johnson of the Carlyle Observer Doug Curtis who is from Willmar was enjoying a nine-hole round at the Carlyle Golf Course where he is a member, playing for the first time with his grandson Connor Brown.

Curtis likes to golf nine holes a couple times a week, and is trying to make to senior’s golf and men’s night golf events scheduled weekly at the Carlyle course.

Curtis started golfing in his early 20s with a couple of friends and is enjoying having the time to show the grandson around the links. His grandson has the jump on his grandfather who at three years of age enjoys the putting part of the game at present.

Curtis enjoys playing locally in the area, playing courses at Lampman, Moose Creek, Kenosee Lake, White Bear, Redvers and anywhere close to home he can slip out for a relaxing nine holes.

Curtis golfs mostly for fun and the food at men’s night in Carlyle is another attraction that brings him out on the course.

Curtis plays TaylorMade clubs and uses a putter given to him by a friend who won it at a golf tournament; “she’s not getting it back,” he remarks.

Curtis has had the pleasure to golf at courses in Phoenix, Nebraska, and on Vancouver Island, noting that he golfs for the pleasure of being outdoors and enjoys the beautiful scen-

ery of playing different courses.

Curtis has never had a hole in one and qualifies it, mentioning he “has never come close.”

His most memorable and best score ever on nine holes was on the back nine at White Bear; after carding a 51 on the front, he is still trying to figure out how he was able to shoot 38 on the back nine.

If ever having the opportunity to golf any course of his choosing he would make the journey to St. Andrews in Scotland to the home of golf. Curtis recommends the Carlyle Golf Course as a great place to play a round; it is in great condition and is an excellent nine-hole track for a junior golfer or someone taking up the game.

Golf Kenosee retains Moose Mountain Ryder Cup

By Kelly Johnson of the Carlyle Observer Golf Kenosee again has prevailed in the Moose Mountain Ryder Cup Challenge over the team from White Bear Lake Golf Course.

The two-day event was won by a score of 19-5.

The first day was played Saturday at White Bear; in the morning, team matches of better ball, Kenosee held a 4-2 edge, and then took the afternoon competition of alternate shot by the same score.

Area golf clubs play weekend competition

By Kelly Johnson of the Carlyle Observer The Redvers and District Golf Club squared off against the Carlyle Golf and Country Club in the second annual Ryder Cup Competition this past weekend.

Redvers won the first competition last year and began their defence of the title at Carlyle’s home course on Saturday. The Saturday matches were two-man team alternate shot and individual match play games. Carlyle took advantage of the home course, taking a 13-5 lead going back to

Redvers for the Sunday matches.

The teams played two man team matches of better ball, followed again by individual match play, with the Redvers team taking the day’s matches 117, but coming up short of retaining the tittle.

Carlyle took home the trophy with a twoday total of 20-16.

Members of the Carlyle team were Darryl Sutherland, Joey Easton, Martin Tourand, Kruz Wilson, Jamie Barnett, Joey Humphries, Clay Geiger, Riley Marshall, Dave Lemieux, Danny Rasmussen, Dakota Rose and Kelly Currie.

Lions complete project Alida News – Where

does the time go?

Submitted by Edel Cowan

The Carlyle & District Lions Club completed the repainting of the nine bleachers located at Lions Park. Lions members pictured are Bertha Isleifson, Lois Paul, Heather Vermeersch and Dennis Feduk

Another week is over and believe it or not, in just a couple of days, another month will be finished, too.

Where oh where does the time go?

August came and now is almost gone. COVID-19 is still lurking in the background, keeping everyone alert on their toes. We’ve been so fortunate around this area as nothing seems to be around – thank goodness.

Hate to burst the holiday bubble by mentioning that school will be opening up soon too – it has been postponed a week and now won’t open until after the Labour Day long weekend. Sept. 8 is the day. Hopefully all goes well, a little nerve-wracking for some, but I’m sure all will be fine.

John Cowan of Hillcrest, Alta., arrived Aug. 23 to the Cowan farm where he will be visiting with the family for and helping with the harvest once again.

Yes, harvest is now in full swing – we’ve swathed all our canola fields and now combining wheat (almost

done the first field and will be moving to the next). Busy, busy time of the year.

Once again folks, please remember to be extra careful when out working in the fields around with that big machinery. Good Luck everyone.

As you can see not much news, as everyone is busy with their lives and not visiting much now, so not too much news to report. Enjoy these last few days at the swimming pool kids, the weather has been just great for that.

Please remember folks keep me posted whenever you have news – simply contact me anytime on the happenings that are going on in and around Alida as well as within your family circle, either call me at 306443-2496, text at 306-485-8561 or e-mail g.cowan@sasktel.net. I will see that your news gets into a paper. I do appreciate all your input as it does help keep this column interesting.

Until next time, keep smiling, think positive, drive safely and take care.

Spreading dirt on the ground

The sun is setting

Linda Wegner Words of Worth

Margaret Schmit submitted this week’s Photo of the Week. It’s a spectacular photo of the sunset at White Bear Lake. It’s also the final submission for the Photo of the Week contest. Thanks to all who entered. Be sure to watch next week’s edition of the Observer, or visit www.carlyleobserver.com, to find out who won this year’s promotion.

Not sure where I picked up the muck, but there was plenty of it on the kitchen and hallway floors.

I tried sweeping it up but to no avail. I tentatively picked up a piece of the sludge but still couldn’t identify exactly what it was or where it came from. I just know that it blemished my nice, clean floors.

Taking off my house-

hold slippers, I quickly discovered the source of the mess. The soles of my footwear were freckled with blobs of whatever that black stuff was.

Disgusted, I took them off and put them into a basin of hot water and soap. The “stuff” was still on them so I took a stiff brush to them.

That, sadly, must be followed by a thorough scrubbing of the floors.

The only thing I can think of was a quick run to the neighbour’s house.

It hadn’t rained and I figured there was no need to change into outdoor shoes. Wrong.

Out of all this mundane event was a stern lesson for me and, I suspect, for many others, too. Be careful what you pick up and even more, be diligent that you don’t

spread it around.

Days of partial, if not total, isolation are challenging. I miss seeing and chatting with my friends; even telephone conversations aren’t quite the same. Added to that is the lack of activities that were often a delightful source for topics of interest. In any case, let’s be careful to avoid spreading verbal dirt.

I’ve found that sharing testimonies of God’s grace during these difficult times along with intentional words of encouragement are important. An added blessing this week was a time to do both with friends I just happened to meet in town.

“Kind words are like honey—enjoyable and healthful.” Proverbs 16:24 (Living Bible)

Cottage sales up in the Carlyle area this year

By Brian Zinchuk, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter

If you can’t go anywhere due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you might as well find a cottage and spend some time there.

That seems to be the conclusion many people in Saskatchewan have come to this year, as cottage sales have risen dramatically in this province, according to the Saskatchewan Realtors Association.

Its CEO, Jason Yochim, said on Aug. 10 that in the first seven months of 2020, only January and April saw a decline in sales.

“Every other month saw an increase yearover-year for that month in sales, with the greatest increase being in June with a 102 per cent increase in transactions in cottage country.”

“That’s 101 transactions in June of recreational property in the province,” he added. Last year, June saw 50.

Asked if he had seen a spike like that previously, Yochim said, “No, it's quite impressive actually. We did anticipate postrestrictions from COVID that we would see a significant increase in activity. We had low interest rates, we had

NOW INL! DIGITA

Carlyle, Sask.

low inventory levels, and pent up demand for COVID. And a lot of people were needing to either find a larger space for maybe a home with an office or something like that, because they're working from home.”

North of Carlyle, the lake country includes Kenosee, Moose Mountain Provincial Park and White Bear.

Ray Boutin, broker with Performance Realty of Carlyle, deals with Kenosee and Moose Mountain Provincial Park properties. He said, “There’s real action, real interest. I think COVID has created a desire for resort property.

“People are realizing that it’s a staycation scenario. They’re moving forward to make themselves comfortable in a staycation scenario.”

Boutin also said, “For one thing, Kenosee, and particularly Moose Mountain Provincial Park has always held its own in terms of value. And we are finding pricing is creeping up, as there’s more demand. Then you get into scenarios where there are multiple offers on the same property and that starts moving the prices up.”

He said some properties are going for

above list price, some at list price and some below. Sellers are still taking offers, he noted.

Leanne Sorenson’s Red Roof Realty Inc. is based at Kenosee.

She focuses on property at Kenosee, Moose Mountain Provincial Park and White Bear.

From her perspective, Sorenson said, “They are really similar to last year. We always have quite a high buyer demand for cottages.

Some sales might have sold quicker than normal, in a few days, and for list price.”

She hasn’t seen sales above list price this year. “I would say

maybe people were willing to pay a little bit more. We saw prices go up in the cottage market, but not in year-round properties.”

“It’s been busy, but I don’t know if it’s strictly related to COVID. Some of the lakes you couldn’t get into, so the demand went really quickly in July.

Sorenson added, “There’s less people out here. There’s less tourists.”

Travel restrictions meant White Bear had barricades until June. But she says that wasn’t a factor on sales.

vested his garlic; and we had several meals of his beans while green.

The second plot will find a home in our winter beans and stews.

Too strong women with a luggage cart replaced it.

Charlotte Kovach brought a movie, Highway to Heaven, along with popcorn. Mary Thiessen and Margaret Penner led another joyful hymn sing in the courtyard. A car tour of harvest and crops is planned.

The visitor lists are: Teresa Krukoff and Ward, Lydia Frazer with Fred and Mariann; John Burke with Ralph; Celine Stolz our homecare nurse; Kevin and Cathy Husband with Irene; Dale Thiessen with Leora; Sharon Beutler with Joyce; Birnie with Betty; R. Swanton with Marie; Larry and Marion Husband with Irene; and Phil Mark with Janet.

My birthday mail included two copper hummingbird swings.

They are hand-blown red glass bead, hung on a wrapped-in-copper frame, to hang near your feeder. We have seen only one adult hummer so far. I fear his family of last year was lost in an Arizona dust storm. He appears to have joined up with another family, and only checks us out occasionally. Thank you “My Resident Alien in America” daughter.

Cottage has been in family for over 100 years A family recently gathered to celebrate more than 100 years of cottage ownership in the southeast region.

The cottage was built in 1917 by Lou and Ann Faber, and was later owned by Melvin and Miriam Faber. It now belongs to Laverne and Betty Ann Faber, and Mary Lou and Tim Fogarty.

Fourteen of the 18 grandchildren of Lou and Ann Faber were able to attend the occasion that marked more than a century of ownership. They were able to enjoy each other’s company and share a lot of memories and tales from days gone by.

The family includes the children of the late Matt and Gretta Faber (Frank Faber, Lorraine Pho and Cheryl Parker), the late John and Doris Faber (Carol Griffin, Reg Faber, Brian Faber, Dale Faber and Shauna Lazar), and the late Melvin and Miriam Faber (Lynda Wilson, Allen Faber, Susan Worral, Laverne Faber, Paul Faber, Louis Faber, Joanne Unruh, Kathy Parisienne, Mary Lou Fogarty and Danny Faber).

Gathering for the group photo were, back row, from left, Brian Faber, Allen Faber, Frank Faber, Cheryl Parker, Reg Faber and Lynda Wilson. Middle row, Laverne Faber, Dale Faber, Louis Faber and Susan Worral. Front row, Joanne Unruh, Danny Faber, Mary Lou Fogarty and Kathy Parisienne. Missing are Lorraine Pho, Carol Griffin, Paul Faber and Shauna Lazar. Photo submitted

Carlyle Primary Health Clinic is open again The Carlyle Primary Health Clinic is open for business once again.

In an email sent to the Observer, the clinic said it is thankful to the community for their patience during these unprecedented times,

as they have navigated their way through the COVID-19 pandemic.

The door remains locked in order to limit traffic and to protect the health and safety of the staff and patients. To ensure the safety of patients,

the clinic is initially booking all appointments by telephone and should your provider need to see you in person you will be promptly booked to come into the clinic.

Due to the phone appointments, the clinic’s phone lines

are very busy and often tied up.

For all up to date information on COVID-19, the clinic encourages people to look to the Saskatchewan.ca website.

“Remember to keep phys-

ically distanced from people as much as you can, keep your social circles small, wear a mask in public when it isn’t easy to physically distance and wash your hands often,” the health clinic said in the email.

HOROSCOPES ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Aries, acting your age will not feel like fun this week, but you have to hunker down and be the adult. Even as others shirk responsibility, you know how to get the job done.

Cancer, eagerly follow all impulses to explore new interests. This is a great time to start a new hobby or even change careers. Be aggressive with your goals.

Libra, take inventory of the value of what you have. That doesn’t strictly mean material things. It also refers to the friends and loved ones who always have your back.

There is no need to deny yourself some guilty pleasures, Capricorn. Dig into a big piece of cake or indulge in some binge-watching. You’ve earned it.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Taurus, it is alright to go against the grain once in a while if it means that much to you.

Sometimes you have to be a trendsetter. This week you stand out in a good way.

There is some tension going on with you this week over what you desire and what you know is good for you, Leo. You’ll need to walk a fine line if you are to get both.

Scorpio, it can sometimes be best to walk into a situation without any expectations. This way anything that happens can be taken at face value.

Be positive.

Aquarius, expect more plots than a soap opera in the days ahead. The good news is that you decide which course things will take. Surround yourself with your support network.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

This week could mark the start of a fun and informative phase for you, Gemini. Look around at all the possibilities to learn new things. You can expand your knowledge tenfold.

Virgo, sometimes the best conversations you can have are the ones in which the person you are chatting with disagrees with what you are saying. It’s an opportunity to debate.

It’s required patience, but things will start to make sense in your life this week, Sagittarius.

All of the parts start to fall into place and the bigger picture is revealed.

Pisces, excitement is fine, but your eagerness to jump into a project may seem too intense to others. Temper some of your emotions and think before you take things personal.
