Businesses practicing physical distance - keeping safe

By Kelly Johnson The Observer The new normal these days, due to the COVID-19 pandemic is something we all have to adjust to. Local businesses and communities are co-operating in whatever way they can to keep people safe and supplied with the necessary needs for day-to-day life.

Each business presents a different challenge to each owner based on products, space in the business and the recommended guidelines put out by the provincial government.

Please note that as of last Wednesday, March 25, the Saskatchewan Government has reduced the number of people to congregate in a location from no more than groups of 25 to no more than groups of 10.

Also of note, is the phrase “social distancing” is now being referred to as “physical distancing”, which means to keep two metres (or six feet) between yourself and others.

Again it is up to each individual to check all relative information as noted above as the situation can change suddenly as the reality of the pandemic is changing by the day.

Weather for the week . . .

Friday, Apr. 3 ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Things are not always what they seem, Aries. Keep this in mind when dealing or working with people you have never met. It may take some time to figure things out.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, asking a bunch of questions may not unveil the answers you were hoping for.

You may not be asking the right questions. Keep forging ahead.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 The ability to listen is an important skill, Gemini. This ability is especially valuable when others come to you for advice. Listen intently and do your best to help.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, even if things do not entirely make sense this week, you can glean certain bits of information here and there that can help you to paint the bigger picture.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, imitation is the highest form of flattery. Keep a keen eye on someone you admire at work, and then try to mirror this person in your actions.

Remain patient.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, certain battles cannot be won no matter how hard you try. Do not focus unnecessary energy on things that cannot be scaled. Direct your focus to more inportant projects.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 A project you started may come to a screeching halt, Scorpio.

This does not mean you should abandon it entirely. It just means you will have to take a brief hiatus and restart.

THE OBSERVER

Weekly RCMP report Submitted by Staff Sgt. Darren Simons • These are interesting times and things are constantly changing. Remember this is new to everyone and unprecedented. Many claim to be experts, but is there really a true expert? Thus you will get a message one day that can change later that day or the next day. There are many people that are trying their best to give us accurate information to protect us and others. Please be understanding and flexible.

• You may not be worried about yourself, however, you must realize you can infect someone who is at higher risk. We know we will not be able to prevent it, rather we are just hoping to prevent our medical facilities from being swamped. Our hospitals still have to deal with daily emergencies and unrelated medical calls. It is for these reasons and others we are recommending distancing and self-isolation. We are not asking you to agree, we are just asking you to cooperate and comply.

• It is now law in Saskatchewan that you have to self isolate for 14 days if you have returned from outside of Canada. We have had Mounties that dipped into the USA and are still in isolation. We understand you may have already ventured and wandered, but no more. If you arrived in Canada from outside of our borders you must isolate for 14 days from the day your returned. No ifs, ands or buts, unless it is for medical attention. No shopping, no gallivanting and no working at your place of business. We appreciate the calls, however, I must admit we are getting tired of dealing with individuals that feel they should be exempted. So far we believe we have had compliance after providing warnings, however, I just can’t get over how much time we have spent talking to and explaining to people, “You must self isolate for 14 days.” There are no exemptions.

• During times of crisis individuals will try and solicit funds to help those in need. Please be very leery of these individuals. Trust me you will not just get a text message or an e-mail saying you are getting

money. The government does not work like that.

• Members dealt with several static 911 calls, 911 hang ups and several false alarms. If we keep getting static 911 calls from a number we end up having the phone line suspended. It is not like the owner can use it anyway. Most of the 911 calls are being caused by moisture somewhere in the system. Child welfare calls and mental health calls occupied some of our time as well.

• With these challenging times we are often, but not always, using more discretion. An individual who cut off their electronic monitoring device was finally located. We knew they were around but they were avoiding the police and avoiding getting into trouble. Normally, they would likely have been remanded in custody for the breach of release conditions and the damage to property, however, we gave them an opportunity to stay out of “gaol” and behave. We will just have to wait and see what happens.

• An individual was reported to be intoxicated and causing problems in a residence. Upon arrival of the Police they were no longer awake. The individual was left to wake up with a hangover.

• We are dealing with a family that are not in agreement over an estate. I have been shocked over the years on what people fight over and what people will do to make it more difficult for others. More concerning is during these times of crisis individuals look within and let their selfish nature take over while others are risking their well being just doing their jobs.

• Members investigated a complaint of an individual walking up and down the same street numerous times. It was determined the individual was just out getting some exercise and fresh air and did not want to walk too far from their residence.

• We are investigating a domestic. There are possible charges forthcoming, however, we are still in the initial stages of our investigation.

• I know it has been frustrating for our family to have internet issues during this challenging time, however, an individual chose to take their aggression out on the internet and disabled the internet at

Take Part.

The next provincial election is coming up in 2020, and we need workers! Did you know that you can make up to $230 for working election day, and even more for working during advance voting?

To be eligible to work you must be:

1

a residence. Let us just say charges were laid for mischief.

• Some individuals chose to excessively use intoxicating substances, we believe alcohol and drugs.

Upon arrival of Members, they determined there was a need to arrest one individual. During this process another individual thought they would «come to the rescue» of the individual that was being arrested.

They were subsequently arrested as well. In the process of the arrest both chose to assault the Police Officers. Due to their general lack of involvement with the Police and the discretion of the Police they were only lodged and provided a warning. They were released later with what appeared to be «hangovers» • If you have an ex moving back to town and you don’t want them to call you, then tell them that and block their number. If that does not work then call the Police. Don’t call us just to advise us you are concerned the ex may contact you unless it is for a situation where you fear for your safety.

• Allegations of an individual in a vehicle following another individual in a vehicle they were not to have contact with were determined to be inaccurate due to a very strong alibi. Although it was not the case in this instance the strongest alibi I have ever observed was the accused was in our custody. The complainant did not believe me, and, well, there was not much I could do to convince them otherwise.

• If you get a “knock, knock” at your door and they will not leave due to their intoxicated state call the Police. If we arrive and they are gone we will likely try and located them and ensure they understand that they will be arrested if they continue their actions. This worked once, while the other time and individual was lodged for a short period of time.

• If you have a concern as it relates to the actions of a Police Officer don’t confront that Police Officer in public. It looks bad on everyone. Come to the Detachment and talk with one of the supervisors. We will investigate your concern. In a recent situation the allegations were proven to be totally unfounded being the video in the Patrol Vehicle confirmed the Member did not do what was alleged.

Quote of the Week...

“Spring adds new life and new beauty to all that is.”

- Jessica Harrelson

Let’s get behind our leadership; let’s do our part

By Murray Mandryk We’re not exactly built to put blind faith in our politicians.

For this, I will take my share of the blame as a member of the fourth estate and, specifically, as political columnists whose job it is to critique public policy.

One gets that. It’s just the nature of the beast and is certainly no grounds for complaint.

But maybe what we all should be thinking about right now how we view our political leadership at a time of crisis in a adversarial parliamentary democracy that isn’t exactly built of times of crisis.

The thought crosses one’s mind in the middle of this COVID-19 pandemic scare, one that’s become even scarier because of it’s the responsibility of government’s right now to examine “what-ifs” and “worst-case scenarios.”

Such a scenario for this province, one was modelled by the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) as a tool to prevent this very thing from happening _ was recently leaked to reporters in this province.

What it suggested was, taken in isolation, rather frightening.

Called “COVID-19 Planning Doc: Strategy for Continuity of Health Services and Surge Capacity”, the power point presentation suggested COVID-19 will “almost certainly overwhelm the health system” because our hospitals simply cannot be designed for the influx of thousands of patients at once.

Based on a scientifically estimated infection rate of 30 per cent (which some suggest is the low-end for potential COVID-19 infections), we could see more than 300,000 Saskatchewan people infected by what is viewed as pretty contagious virus.

And while the worldwide rate of death is only between .5 and two per cent, statistics take on a different meaning when you talk about the potential of 9,000 to 15,000 people here dying. The document talks of a potential need to turn hockey rinks into hospitals if we see a severe outbreak in certain area.

It takes this stuff pretty seriously and so should we. “ Demand for acute services will exceed existing capacity for hospital beds, ICU beds, ventilators as well as creating a major burden on other acute services, supports, HR, supplies, and equipment,” the report forewarned.

But maybe it’s about here where we need to put things in perspective . . . and maybe even reassess how we usually criticize our politician.

We first need understand that this scenario is based on doing nothing. Instead, we shut down most things and need to keep them shut down so we don’t swamp the health system.

We could also avoid the politics of pointing fingers at a government leadership.

That seems to be how things are going in the United States where the COVID-19 outbreak is far worse and U.S. President Donald Trump is blaming New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for not buying more ventilators five years ago.

And there are certainly things governments could have done better, especially in Saskatchewan when, a few weeks ago, the focus was on an early election rather than where it should have been.

Or we could accept that no one could have truly anticipated the magnitude of the crisis.

Certainly, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe deserves credit, and our support, for implementing some of the strictest COVID-19 prevention measures in our county.

Moe could obviously do more. It would be more than just a gesture to bring municipal leaders and even NDP Opposition leader Ryan Meili (a doctor) into the decision-making fold.

These are unprecedented times.

But at the very least, we should be doing what our politicians and the experts are telling us to do: Don’t gather in groups bigger than 10 people. Keep six feet apart. Wash our hands. Stay at home.

Our leadership needs our support right now as much as we need leadership.

A podium for a new Team Canada I don’t draw. I’ve shared stories with you of my artistic limitations. I used to say I can’t draw, which is still the realty, but I have tried to change how I talk about it. So it has come as a surprise to me that I have an image I can’t get out of my head. I wish I could draw it, but my attempt would be so lacking. I am the one nobody in my family chooses to play Pictionary with.

Shelley Luedtke I love the Olympics. I mean I really, really love the Olympics.

The way I structure my life during the 16 days of competition is based upon the schedule of events to ensure I can watch coverage. All of it. I get up at whatever hour the time zone requires to catch live events. Then I watch replays and highlight packages.

It’s just that big in my life. I already have the Tokyo 2020 Olympic wear, thanks to a Christmas gift from my sister.

So here we are, in a very different place than we ever could have imagined and by necessity the summer Olympics have been postponed. It was absolutely the right decision, and as a Canadian I am proud of Team Canada for taking the lead in the conversation.

We won’t be cheering on athletes or hearing any national anthems as Olympic medals are presented.

For all those who have worked so hard to get there we can only imagine the heartbreak. But right now I am thinking about the podium those medal winners would have stood on and it might be okay that the podium remains empty of competitors, temporarily.

Maybe it means we can put some other people up there. This is why I wish I could draw.

So picture it, if you can. A podium; not one that is multileveled, but a platform where everybody is positioned at the same height. On one section stands an individual in scrubs. It’s a lab tech. Or a research-

Publisher ........................... Nancy Johnson Regional Editor ................David Willberg Advertising ........................ Sean Choo Foo Production ..........Karen Mitchell-Steele ................................................... Dolores Young Reporter .................................Kelly Johnson

er. Or someone in laundry service. A doctor, a nurse, a caregiver. A janitor. Someone in food services. Or a first responder. An administrator. A public health official. Every single person who represents a facet of health care systems all across the nation. They are working tirelessly from behind masks and beyond closed doors. They, and they alone, know the stress, the pressure, and the reality of the situation where they are. Gold medal.

Stepping up on the next section of the podium is an individual in a uniform. Or jeans. Or a suit.

The factory worker making what we need. The truck drivers keeping supplies moving. Police officers and firefighters. Store employees. Those running public transport. Childcare workers. Translators and interpreters. Employers looking for ways to keep people on the payroll. So many more keeping the essentials going. Gold medal.

And then, the third section is left empty. It represents all those who are heeding what we have been implored to do; stay home. That spot on the podium is for you and me and all those who are using our best weapon—staying apart and staying away—so that others can continue doing safely what we desperately need done. Gold medal.

The time will come when we will again be cheering on our athletes, and the Olympic podium will be put to use next year. But right now we have many others to cheer on, encourage and honor--our new Team Canada. For each and every one of them the unexpected training ground is also the front lines.

I can’t draw it, but I can picture it. A new podium for a new day. This is what Team Canada looks like right now. The team outfit is whatever we each wear to do our part. Our team cheer is an ongoing round of applause for all those doing what needs to be done. Our team motto? So simple in phrasing, so vital in action: “flatten the curve.”

Press on Team Canada. Let’s show each other this is not about the medals, but our mettle.

That’s my outlook.

GREEN LIVING 4 eco-friendly fibres The textile industry relies heavily on ecologically suspect materials. Petroleumbased synthetic fibres like polyester, nylon and spandex reinforce our dependency on fossil fuels. What’s more, non-organic cotton is grown using large quantities of pesticides and herbicides. These respectively account for 60 per cent and 30 per cent of the fibres used worldwide.

Here are four greener alternatives.

1. Eucalyptus. Able to absorb moisture and inhibit bacterial growth, eucalyptus is a fantastic alternative to other types of textiles. It grows in arid soil (even that which can’t be used for much of anything else), it requires

very little water and the fabric production process is environmentally friendly. However, it’s unlikely to grow in North America.

2. Bamboo. This is the fastest growing plant on the planet, and it doesn’t need any chemical pesticides or fertilizers to thrive. It also requires a lot less water than cotton.

However, it’s hard to grow in some climates and most bamboo fabric has to be imported from China.

3. Linen. An already popular textile, linen is made from flax stems, meaning that flax production could serve the dual purpose of providing food and fabric. Linen is much stronger and more durable than cotton and flax and can be cultivated in a wide range of climates,

Paws & Claws

making it a very promising source of textile.

4. Hemp.

Hypoallergenic and stronger than cotton, hemp grows quickly in almost any climate, is resistant to bugs and diseases and matures in a mere 11 weeks. It also works perfectly as part of a crop rotation system with corn and soybean, which are heavily cultivated all over North America. On the flipside, it does need to be mixed with cotton to provide a soft fabric.

While further work needs to be done, there are a number of alternatives to petroleum-based textiles and nonorganic cotton that are available. Look for them in speciality stores and in the aisles of more traditional boutiques.

Should you change your pet’s food?

Most pets don’t require a varied diet, but this doesn’t mean they should eat the same type of food throughout their lives. In fact, there are key times when a new type of food is required. Here’s what you should know.

When to change your pet’s diet Animals have different nutritional and caloric needs at various stages in their life. For example, a young pet needs different food than one that’s an adult or a senior.

But aging isn’t the only reason to consider changing your pet’s diet. If you notice that your dog or cat has developed a food sensitivity or needs help managing their weight, a different diet may help.

How to change your pet’s diet The transition to a new food should be gradual and take at least a week. This will help ensure that your pet gets used to the new taste and doesn’t suffer from stomach issues.

On the first day, feed

them a mix of 75 per cent old food and 25 per cent new food. The following days, progressively use more of the new food and less of the old until you attain a mix of 75 per cent new food and 25 per cent old food. From there, you can feed them their new food alone.

If your pet doesn’t eat the new type of food, don’t give up. You may just need to make the transition even more gradually and over a longer period of time by changing the ratio of food more slowly.

From Page 3 - RCMP report • A possible impaired driver was thwarted when someone took their keys. Members ensured they were welcome where they remained and our file was concluded.

• Another impaired driver was reported, however, patrols were not successful in locating the vehicle.

• A Member followed an individual across the bridge between Manor and Redvers, which has a 60 km/hour restriction. There is a reason for this folks and it is because it is dangerous to driver across it any faster. Yes a ticket was issued, however, it could have been much more expensive.

• We had a minor collision where the driver sought medical attention. Another collision resulted in the death of a deer and a tow truck for the vehicle.

• I have always liked multiple choice exams.

Even if you don’t know the answer you get to at least have a guess. Now as a Police Officer I have found

Yay...Spring is here!

multiple choice is often an option. Let us say, we stop a vehicle for not stopping at a stop sign, the driver is not wearing a seatbelt and they do not have a valid licence. Now the answer is: a) Stop sign ticket - $230 b) seatbelt ticket - $175 c) no driver’s licence ticket - $150 d) any combination of (a) and (b) or (b) and (c) or (a) and (c) e) all of the above • Now the answer depends on attitude and history of the offender. This is where things often go bad for the violator. If you greet the Police Officer with profanity or rudeness I can almost guarantee the answer will be (d) or (e). That said we are only human and some Police Officers will always go to (d) or (e). Remember the only way to avoid the ticket is avoid breaking the law.

• Now sometimes it is not multiple choice. A vehicle was stopped because the licence plates did not match the vehi-

Yay, spring is ofcially here, according to the calendar at least! I couldn’t be more excited about that, Old Man Winter was really getting on my nerves! Many of us have been cooped up in our homes these past few days and with no certainty of when we will get back to “normal”. Between that and the longer days and spurts of warm sunshine I think it’s safe to say many of us are getting that “spring itch”. To keep you from getting too stir crazy I have come up with a few ways to “scratch that itch” all while giving your home a fresh new look!

Clean It Up This is the perfect time to get your home feeling fresh. From windows to walls, give everything a wipe down and deep cleaning. There is nothing better then clean windows to bring in even more of that beautiful spring sunshine.

Add Some Paint As for the walls, a scrub down is a great way to freshen up your home but I like to take in one step further and give them a fresh coat of paint (my Mom always cringes that I prefer to paint instead of wash). It’s like killing two birds with one stone, you don’t have to wash the walls and you get an amazing fresh new look! Of course, some walls get a little greasy and grimy and need a scrub before painting, in that case add some TSP in you water to help prep for the new paint. I always say paint is one of the most dramatic and economical ways to make a huge impact and what better way to get you started on a fresh new spring look. Paint is also a great way put a breath of life back into a tired piece of furniture, taking it from something you want to hide to a feature piece in your home.

Get Rid of the Clutter While washing and/or painting your walls you’ve most likely removed all of your pictures, art, and decor. Before putting it all back up, take the opportunity to declutter and decide if each item is something you really want or if it’s time to let it go. The items you are ready to let it go, consider passing to someone who has admired it in the past or take it to your local thrift store.

Accessorize This is the perfect time to give your rooms some life by changing out some of your accessories and adding in a few new pieces. I like to pack away the warm and fuzzy pillows and blankets from winter and throw in some fresh coloured curtains, pillows, throws, and maybe even replace the area rug.

Move It. Move it.

I am constantly rearranging my things (I bet you would of never guessed that!).

Move your sofa and chairs and switch things up a bit, then step back and see how you like it. It is a quick and easy way to give your room a fresh new look.

Add Greenery Lastly, one of the nicest ways to freshen up any space for spring is with plants. Real plants are great but I prefer the convenience of realistic faux botanicals. Don’t get me wrong, I do love real plants and gardening is one of my most treasured pastimes but when you want to enjoy lake life and vacations in the summer faux botanicals tend to do a little better with no water! I hope you were able to nd some inspiration and ideas to keep you busy! It’s a bonus that these projects are extremely affordable and the entire family can pitch in and help you out too!

Simple things that can make a huge impact.

So till next time, it’s me, That Girl Shannon saying, “Got the itch....let’s scratch it!”

Going Stir Crazy ??

Tackle your clutter and nd a place for your knickknacks!!

Hang your pictures and art pieces.

If you’re stumped and don’t know where to start... send me pictures of your wall or space to shannon@frontporch-interiors.com

We’d be happy to give you some ideas!

Readers share their stories on self-isolation due to COVID-19 Submitted by Don and Marylin Carter Don and Marylin Carter of Carlyle were in Puerto Morelos, Mexico, a village about 25 minutes south of Cancun. They flew home out of Cancun, Mexico to Saskatoon on Saturday, March 14. They had been watching the news and were aware of the COVID-19 outbreak, but quarantine was just recommended at that time.

At the Cancun airport there was little evidence that there was a virus outbreak. Our flight was uneventful and going through customs in Saskatoon, they were asked a few questions, but nothing out of the ordinary. There were signs posted in the luggage area concerning COVID-19 and recommendations about washing hands and social distancing/self isolation. They returned home and put themselves in self-isolation/quarantine.

The 14th day of self-isolation/quarantine was on Saturday, March 28. They have shown no symptoms at all. Friends and family communicated through Facebook, telephone and waving through the window. They ordered any food that was needed from the local grocery store. They mainly ordered fresh foods as their pantry and freezer had sufficient items to insure that they had good and nutritious meals.

They did check their TP supply and found they had eleven rolls. They were sure that would be sufficient and if they went through their stock in 14 days then they probably had other issues than COVID-19!

Marylin did daily disinfecting of surfaces, door knobs etc. Marylin realized that she had not had her usual sinus cold on returning from our holiday which was a bonus. She diffused Thieves or Purification daily to minimize the germ factor. The humidifier has been running constantly.

They both kept a positive and humorous attitude throughout the isolation period. Marylin scanned in her art work she created while she was gone and posted them on her FB page and on Marylin’s Art Creations page. She continued to sew, using her stash of material. Don did some writing and worked on projects around the house that needed some attention. Don’s humor continued through his posts and interactions on FB. He also played online games against any friend that was available.

They tried not to get overwhelmed by the news daily, getting a morning update and an evening update. Other than that, they tried to avoid the news

SEEDING

This sign in Don and Marylin Carter’s window says it all, as they completed their 14 days of selfisolation upon returning from Mexico. on television and on the computer. It helped them reduce unneeded stress and help make it through the two weeks. They will continue this as they social distance.

They are thankful to live in our community that has tried to provide services and products to all of us during this time. Their main message is to stay positive. Don’t get overwhelmed with the news. This too will pass. Mark it down as a story you can tell your kids. They also they say is to keep in contact with friends and family by phone or social media.

We will continue by doing social distancing.

Sharing their self-isolation stories Submitted by Tara Cure, Carlyle, SK Mexico bound My 8-year-old daughter and I were on our way to Mexico to visit my parents. When we left, the chatter of COVID-19 was just in the beginning stages.

We were headed to Guadalajara and there were no known cases through the cities we were travelling and no travel restrictions other than China.

We decided we were going to go ahead with our long-awaited trip.

While we were there, is when the news really started amplifying how serious everything was getting. As a precaution, we limited some of our adventures, hung out more at the house than anything and watched as my dad bought more toilet paper than most people need in a year. Though the panic there was non-existent, the shelves were all still full of hand sanitizer and cleaner.

Our flights home remained the same, so we boarded the first of three red eye flights home. Guadalajara airport was packed, you would never guess that we were in the middle of a pandemic. Very few face masks.

Mexico city was another story, while still bustling, the sights were different. 90% of the travelers had facemasks, but we had no time to take in the sights as we were mid run to catch our flight to Toronto.

It was in Toronto that we were asked by customs if we were experiencing symptoms to which we answered no. And then we were told we were now under a mandatory 14-day quarantine. We are not allowed to go anywhere, home and stay home. Toronto airport was quiet, but still travelers, some with masks, most without. We boarded our last flight to Regina, exhausted but excited to see the rest of the family and slightly panicked about life over the next two weeks. Regina airport was dead, I mean it’s never usually super busy, but there were about 10 travelers throughout the gates to fly elsewhere.

Hugs and some squealing (on my daughter’s part) as we met up with my husband and son. And then the bad news . . . well, now we are all in quarantine.

At first, it started out with some excitement, after all I haven’t seen them in almost two weeks and now I get to spend two weeks with them. We had found out school was out, so perfect. Guess I will harness some inner teacher, clean the spots I’ve been meaning to clean for a while and catch up on laundry.

Day 1: I’ve unpacked from our trip, there’s a first! I’m optimistic! I’ve got load after load of laundry going. Everything washable is being washed. I feel good about this. Look what we can get done!

Days 2 and 3: Still slightly optimistic. I am no teacher, never wanted to be and I have more love for teachers than I ever have. I’m also really appreciative to the local businesses 20041BS0 for delivering groceries.

20041BS1 And friends for doorstop drop-off of medications and even flowers.

Days 4 and 5: The realization has set in deeply that we are mid-fundraiser for

Moms on a Community Mission spring cash giveaway, as we are not having the sales we were hoping since the kiddos cannot go door to door. Feeling somewhat bummed.

Days 6 to 9: My Snapchat stories are becoming more and more unhinged. Parody songs of what I will do when I’m free to leave the house again. Doorstop drop-offs have begun including alcohol . . . because I am NOT a teacher. Turns out all the projects I’ve put off for when I finally have time, is actually because I don’t want to do them. Those projects remain unfinished.

Day 10: We are in the final stretch. With the exception of putting the garbage to the curb we have remained in our house/backyard. We have spent so much quality time with the kids, some good, some frustrating. We are looking forward to being able to do things we enjoy doing again soon, which is what keeps us positive. And we are cooking and crafting more together. And hoping that others are following the same rules so we can get back to a sense of normalcy.

Thankful to have our health.

Marilyn & Larry Brady Carlyle, SK Submitted by Marilyn Brady Larry and I were living in Arizona for the winter while news began to be filled with the Coronavirus! Like most we weren’t too concerned in the beginning. Our park is very social with meals, dances mahjong etc.

Gradually things began to change. By the second week in March our family was anxious for us to head home. We

needed to wait until our travel partners had safely seen that their elderly father was safely on a flight home. We worried that the border crossing would shut down before we made our 30-hour drive pulling a camper.

Once we were on our way we ate and slept in the camper, only stopping for gas using a card at the pumps. No interaction with the public.

Once we arrived

THIS SPOT COULD BE YOURS!

back at our farm we were relieved. We’re lucky that we can easily self-isolate while still able to be outdoors. We haven’t left the farm or visited family. Groceries are delivered. I regret not being able to visit my 91-yearold mother, but only have one more week left of isolation.

Our world has certainly changed, but we so grateful to be back to our community. Feels like a safe place to be.

Jan Rutten’s experience with self-isolation

Submitted by Jan Rutten, Kenosee Lake, SK I have been self-isolating since noon on Friday, March 20. My husband, Brian has moved to a suite at his sister’s, Barb and her husband Darren’s home.

I had started isolating at our rental in Mexico, trying to come in contact with as few people as possible. Then, of course the repatriation flight home

by Westjet and you are back amongst hundreds of people again at the airports and on the planes.

I must say West Jet was amazing. They treated us all so professionally and with such kindness. They kept reinforcing the importance of proper hygiene and coughing into your elbow, hand washing, etc.

Since being isolated I have just been finishing projects started and spring cleaning. My husband leaves groceries at the back door and my son brings my mail the same way. I wave from down the hallway. I am hoping everyone does their part to end this COVID-19, so we can all put it behind us.

Novice Cougars’ (Chris) season sees early exit Nathan Coffey Sports Contributor Well ladies and gentleman, it looks like the Novice Cougars’ (Chris) season has come to and abrupt and anticlimactic end.

The boys put together an amazing season, but sadly for the nine of them COVID-19 had plans to shut down the great season just a day before the championship game.

The season started way back in October and the Cougars played consistently top notch right into March. They finished 9-1 in the regular season, won three of the four tourneys they entered and cruised through their half of the playoff bracket, but this year the league trophy will read Corona2020.

Even though there will be no banner hanging from the rafters, all these players can finally wash their gear, store it for the summer knowing they left it all out on the ice and that they left a lot of fans, parents and grandparents, with a ton of memories that could put a smile on even the most stoic of faces.

From Owen “Top Cheese” Light scoring highlight reel goals on a daily basis, all the while making them look like he could pull them off in his sleep, or Nash “The Flash” Faber defying logic and somehow getting faster every time he stepped out on the ice.

Only comparable to a bullet, somehow getting faster mid-shot.

Hayden “Hands and Hair” Puskas pulling off dangles that had most opponents tied in knots, just like his favourite player, Flames’ Johnny Hockey.

Griffin “Coast to Coast” Eaton somehow managed to cover the whole defensive zone, and still put up great offensive numbers. This, mixed with his dressing room antics, left most people speechless.

Brody “Crash the Crease” Knelsen really came out of his shell as he found out that taking penalties was almost as much fun as scoring goals and usually left his grandma shaking her head, but I could tell she was smiling on the inside.

Keenan “Sharknado” Winkler was a firecracker all year and his patented fist pump with one leg in the air after all his goals had everyone grinning from ear to ear.

Reed “The Rifle” Coffey playing in his first year of hockey managed his first penalty, goals, assists, and even showed Coach Joey he could take a hit, even if it was a door doing the hitting.

Xander “The Postman” Brown managed to score a goal he didn’t realize he scored and even tried his hand at motivational coaching, which started the charge for a comeback must win game.

And last but not least, Nik “Brickwall” Brown was the last line of defence and had an amazing first season as a full time goalie. If he wasn’t stopping pucks, he was quick with some head scratching comments, or trying to bribe me to hype him up in the paper.

And let’s not forget the coaches. Coach Chris Light, who put in countless hours of prep time for games and practices and from my understanding, only swore a few times.

Coach Jeff Faber, who never missed a game and managed to hold back laughter until it was appropriate to let it out and Coach Joey Eaton, who could get a smile from every kid, regardless of their moods and was always ready to squirt water in your face if you got too upset. (No one drowned, but it looked close on a few occasions).

Also a special thank you to everyone behind the scenes that made the season a huge success and a treat to be a part of. And thanks to the Observer for printing all these write-ups even when they got a bit long winded.

It took a worldwide pandemic to shut these boys down and I’m surprised even that did it. These boys deserve a huge pat on the back and a big round of applause for everything they accomplished this year.

You’re all champions to me and I’m sure all your fans would say the same thing.

See everyone next year and stay safe out there.

Alida News Submitted by Edel Cowan

Another week has gone by with very little going on, which of course is very helpful to keep all of us safe. Also there is very little traffic on the roads or on the streets. We’ve keep mostly to ourselves, and staying on the farm, going outside for fresh air and cleaning up around the yard as much as possible, going for a drive into town, stopping only to pick up mail and some groceries when needed. So don’t get to see many people around and about either, and if we do we stay at a discreet distance and send them a short greeting or

Maryfield Villa News Submitted by Janet Mark LOCKDOWN! If I go out the door to walk on the south sidewalk, I cannot get back in unless I let the staff know. No visitors at this time. Melissa Thiessen brought her children through the snow courtyard to wave at us at supper time through the window. It reassured the children that “Great Grandma Leora is all right. She just can not come out right now.”

Mary Thiessen phones us from her isolation at the farm.

Joyce was trilled to hear that her family had made it back across the border from Arizona.

They and other repatriots are quarantined at their Moosomin Condo.

What a relief!

Only three non-members of the staff can come in for activities with us residents. Doris Erickson leads sitting down exercises every Monday and does card bingo. Heather Ludlum calls regular Bingo.

Charlotte Kovach brings a Saturday night movie.

Charlotte came back Sunday night to lead us in Hymnsing. None of us have been to church---cancelled—and we really needed to sing.

Each person chose their favorite hymn. Singing uses our mind and all the body muscles, eyes and ears, and soul.

We are all healthy here, (in our aging bodies) and hope to keep it that way.

Received a text the other day with a beautiful picture – it was from my Granddaughter Ainsley. She and her mom had spent some time decorating their front windows with hearts and some Easter decorations (bunny, chicks, eggs), which is adding a very welcoming sight to their street. Another great idea to keep oneself entertained.

Got my “sports fix” by watching some reruns of the 2019 World Men’s Championship curling, Women’s curling and some of the World Women’s Hockey games. It’s still not the same as watching the live games, but one can’t be choosy and watching reruns is better than nothing at all. If I could

find a movie to get interested in I’d watch it as I do become tired of listening to the news, as it was mostly always all about Covid 19 which seems to be repeated all day long. Do enjoy Reading too, but can only do that for a short period of time (or I may go to sleep). However I do hope all will soon be coming to an end and things will get back to normal – patience is the name of the game.

Believe it or not but it’s soon Easter – enjoy the long-weekend beginning with Good Friday on April 10. An early Easter should be a good sign for an early spring and let’s hope for a better farming year than last year. Stay safe and take care out there.

Please keep me post-

Wawota News Submitted by Myrna Olson

Jean Bogner attended a luncheon in Regina at the Annual meeting of the Saskatchewan Horse Federation. Jean was inducted into the SHF Hall of Fame.

She was presented with a lovely plaque in recognition of her years of service with horses and horse people.

Several friends and family members joined Jean for this occasion. Jean thanked the local Wheels and Saddles club for having nominated her for this honour.

Barb Vince from St. Malo, MB spent several days visiting Jean Bogner, and took her to Regina to receive her award from the Saskatchewan Horse Federation.

Word has been received of the passing of Wes Palendat, a former resident of Wawota, at Hillview

Manor, Weyburn. He passed away on March 20 at the age of 90 years. He is predeceased by his wife Tillie, and survived by his daughter Darcy( Larry) and grandchildren Tye and Jessica. A private family graveside service is planned for a later date.

Congratulations to Brandon Benner who has completed his latest school session. He achieved his Red Seal Inter provincial Journeyman status. Brandon is employed at Red Light in Wawota.

Sympathy to the family of the late Jim Duke of Regina. He passed away on Mar. 22 at the age of 84 years. Family members are wife, Bernice (Myers), sons, Daryl, Curtis and Tyler and daughter Debbie (Dale) McDonald and granddaughter Taya. There will

be no funeral by request.

During this time of isolation I am finding lots to keep me busy. I have been doing some sewing, some cleaning, doing crosswords and playing Scrabble on the internet. I also have read several books and was enjoying Big Brother Canada. The first week one player self-evicted, and by the third week two players had been sent home for indiscretions. On the fourth week, which was last week, another player wanted to go home, but instead self-evicting wanted to be voted off.

By then it was announced that the show would finish on Apr. 1 due to concerns about the safety of the crew.

A strange ending to a strange season of Big Brother Canada.

Weather for the week . . .

Friday, Apr. 3 ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Things are not always what they seem, Aries. Keep this in mind when dealing or working with people you have never met. It may take some time to figure things out.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, asking a bunch of questions may not unveil the answers you were hoping for.

You may not be asking the right questions. Keep forging ahead.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 The ability to listen is an important skill, Gemini. This ability is especially valuable when others come to you for advice. Listen intently and do your best to help.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, even if things do not entirely make sense this week, you can glean certain bits of information here and there that can help you to paint the bigger picture.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, imitation is the highest form of flattery. Keep a keen eye on someone you admire at work, and then try to mirror this person in your actions.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, certain responsibilities may seem like a drain on your time. But right now you are not seeing how even small tasks can add up to big results in the end.

Remain patient.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, certain battles cannot be won no matter how hard you try. Do not focus unnecessary energy on things that cannot be scaled. Direct your focus to more inportant projects.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 A project you started may come to a screeching halt, Scorpio.

This does not mean you should abandon it entirely. It just means you will have to take a brief hiatus and restart.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, people naturally want to be around you, but sometimes you need to take a step back and focus on yourself.

Clear your schedule for some personal time this week.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Spring is a time of new beginnings, Capricorn. You may be presented with several new opportunities. Travel, a new job or even expanding your family may be in the cards.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, even if you do not have all the answers, you can take steps that address many of the changes that have occurred in your life lately.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Channel your creativity into projects that let you express yourself, Pisces. Artwork, writing and crafting are a few examples.

THE OBSERVER

Weekly RCMP report Submitted by Staff Sgt. Darren Simons • These are interesting times and things are constantly changing. Remember this is new to everyone and unprecedented. Many claim to be experts, but is there really a true expert? Thus you will get a message one day that can change later that day or the next day. There are many people that are trying their best to give us accurate information to protect us and others. Please be understanding and flexible.

• You may not be worried about yourself, however, you must realize you can infect someone who is at higher risk. We know we will not be able to prevent it, rather we are just hoping to prevent our medical facilities from being swamped. Our hospitals still have to deal with daily emergencies and unrelated medical calls. It is for these reasons and others we are recommending distancing and self-isolation. We are not asking you to agree, we are just asking you to cooperate and comply.

• It is now law in Saskatchewan that you have to self isolate for 14 days if you have returned from outside of Canada. We have had Mounties that dipped into the USA and are still in isolation. We understand you may have already ventured and wandered, but no more. If you arrived in Canada from outside of our borders you must isolate for 14 days from the day your returned. No ifs, ands or buts, unless it is for medical attention. No shopping, no gallivanting and no working at your place of business. We appreciate the calls, however, I must admit we are getting tired of dealing with individuals that feel they should be exempted. So far we believe we have had compliance after providing warnings, however, I just can’t get over how much time we have spent talking to and explaining to people, “You must self isolate for 14 days.” There are no exemptions.

• During times of crisis individuals will try and solicit funds to help those in need. Please be very leery of these individuals. Trust me you will not just get a text message or an e-mail saying you are getting

money. The government does not work like that.

• Members dealt with several static 911 calls, 911 hang ups and several false alarms. If we keep getting static 911 calls from a number we end up having the phone line suspended. It is not like the owner can use it anyway. Most of the 911 calls are being caused by moisture somewhere in the system. Child welfare calls and mental health calls occupied some of our time as well.

• With these challenging times we are often, but not always, using more discretion. An individual who cut off their electronic monitoring device was finally located. We knew they were around but they were avoiding the police and avoiding getting into trouble. Normally, they would likely have been remanded in custody for the breach of release conditions and the damage to property, however, we gave them an opportunity to stay out of “gaol” and behave. We will just have to wait and see what happens.

• An individual was reported to be intoxicated and causing problems in a residence. Upon arrival of the Police they were no longer awake. The individual was left to wake up with a hangover.

• We are dealing with a family that are not in agreement over an estate. I have been shocked over the years on what people fight over and what people will do to make it more difficult for others. More concerning is during these times of crisis individuals look within and let their selfish nature take over while others are risking their well being just doing their jobs.

• Members investigated a complaint of an individual walking up and down the same street numerous times. It was determined the individual was just out getting some exercise and fresh air and did not want to walk too far from their residence.

• We are investigating a domestic. There are possible charges forthcoming, however, we are still in the initial stages of our investigation.

• I know it has been frustrating for our family to have internet issues during this challenging time, however, an individual chose to take their aggression out on the internet and disabled the internet at

Take Part.

The next provincial election is coming up in 2020, and we need workers! Did you know that you can make up to $230 for working election day, and even more for working during advance voting?

To be eligible to work you must be:

1

a residence. Let us just say charges were laid for mischief.

• Some individuals chose to excessively use intoxicating substances, we believe alcohol and drugs.

Upon arrival of Members, they determined there was a need to arrest one individual. During this process another individual thought they would «come to the rescue» of the individual that was being arrested.

They were subsequently arrested as well. In the process of the arrest both chose to assault the Police Officers. Due to their general lack of involvement with the Police and the discretion of the Police they were only lodged and provided a warning. They were released later with what appeared to be «hangovers» • If you have an ex moving back to town and you don’t want them to call you, then tell them that and block their number. If that does not work then call the Police. Don’t call us just to advise us you are concerned the ex may contact you unless it is for a situation where you fear for your safety.

• Allegations of an individual in a vehicle following another individual in a vehicle they were not to have contact with were determined to be inaccurate due to a very strong alibi. Although it was not the case in this instance the strongest alibi I have ever observed was the accused was in our custody. The complainant did not believe me, and, well, there was not much I could do to convince them otherwise.

• If you get a “knock, knock” at your door and they will not leave due to their intoxicated state call the Police. If we arrive and they are gone we will likely try and located them and ensure they understand that they will be arrested if they continue their actions. This worked once, while the other time and individual was lodged for a short period of time.

• If you have a concern as it relates to the actions of a Police Officer don’t confront that Police Officer in public. It looks bad on everyone. Come to the Detachment and talk with one of the supervisors. We will investigate your concern. In a recent situation the allegations were proven to be totally unfounded being the video in the Patrol Vehicle confirmed the Member did not do what was alleged.

Quote of the Week...

“Spring adds new life and new beauty to all that is.”

- Jessica Harrelson

Let’s get behind our leadership; let’s do our part

By Murray Mandryk We’re not exactly built to put blind faith in our politicians.

For this, I will take my share of the blame as a member of the fourth estate and, specifically, as political columnists whose job it is to critique public policy.

One gets that. It’s just the nature of the beast and is certainly no grounds for complaint.

But maybe what we all should be thinking about right now how we view our political leadership at a time of crisis in a adversarial parliamentary democracy that isn’t exactly built of times of crisis.

The thought crosses one’s mind in the middle of this COVID-19 pandemic scare, one that’s become even scarier because of it’s the responsibility of government’s right now to examine “what-ifs” and “worst-case scenarios.”

Such a scenario for this province, one was modelled by the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) as a tool to prevent this very thing from happening _ was recently leaked to reporters in this province.

What it suggested was, taken in isolation, rather frightening.

Called “COVID-19 Planning Doc: Strategy for Continuity of Health Services and Surge Capacity”, the power point presentation suggested COVID-19 will “almost certainly overwhelm the health system” because our hospitals simply cannot be designed for the influx of thousands of patients at once.

Based on a scientifically estimated infection rate of 30 per cent (which some suggest is the low-end for potential COVID-19 infections), we could see more than 300,000 Saskatchewan people infected by what is viewed as pretty contagious virus.

And while the worldwide rate of death is only between .5 and two per cent, statistics take on a different meaning when you talk about the potential of 9,000 to 15,000 people here dying. The document talks of a potential need to turn hockey rinks into hospitals if we see a severe outbreak in certain area.

It takes this stuff pretty seriously and so should we. “ Demand for acute services will exceed existing capacity for hospital beds, ICU beds, ventilators as well as creating a major burden on other acute services, supports, HR, supplies, and equipment,” the report forewarned.

But maybe it’s about here where we need to put things in perspective . . . and maybe even reassess how we usually criticize our politician.

We first need understand that this scenario is based on doing nothing. Instead, we shut down most things and need to keep them shut down so we don’t swamp the health system.

We could also avoid the politics of pointing fingers at a government leadership.

That seems to be how things are going in the United States where the COVID-19 outbreak is far worse and U.S. President Donald Trump is blaming New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for not buying more ventilators five years ago.

And there are certainly things governments could have done better, especially in Saskatchewan when, a few weeks ago, the focus was on an early election rather than where it should have been.

Or we could accept that no one could have truly anticipated the magnitude of the crisis.

Certainly, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe deserves credit, and our support, for implementing some of the strictest COVID-19 prevention measures in our county.

Moe could obviously do more. It would be more than just a gesture to bring municipal leaders and even NDP Opposition leader Ryan Meili (a doctor) into the decision-making fold.

These are unprecedented times.

But at the very least, we should be doing what our politicians and the experts are telling us to do: Don’t gather in groups bigger than 10 people. Keep six feet apart. Wash our hands. Stay at home.

Our leadership needs our support right now as much as we need leadership.

A podium for a new Team Canada I don’t draw. I’ve shared stories with you of my artistic limitations. I used to say I can’t draw, which is still the realty, but I have tried to change how I talk about it. So it has come as a surprise to me that I have an image I can’t get out of my head. I wish I could draw it, but my attempt would be so lacking. I am the one nobody in my family chooses to play Pictionary with.

Shelley Luedtke I love the Olympics. I mean I really, really love the Olympics.

The way I structure my life during the 16 days of competition is based upon the schedule of events to ensure I can watch coverage. All of it. I get up at whatever hour the time zone requires to catch live events. Then I watch replays and highlight packages.

It’s just that big in my life. I already have the Tokyo 2020 Olympic wear, thanks to a Christmas gift from my sister.

So here we are, in a very different place than we ever could have imagined and by necessity the summer Olympics have been postponed. It was absolutely the right decision, and as a Canadian I am proud of Team Canada for taking the lead in the conversation.

We won’t be cheering on athletes or hearing any national anthems as Olympic medals are presented.

For all those who have worked so hard to get there we can only imagine the heartbreak. But right now I am thinking about the podium those medal winners would have stood on and it might be okay that the podium remains empty of competitors, temporarily.

Maybe it means we can put some other people up there. This is why I wish I could draw.

So picture it, if you can. A podium; not one that is multileveled, but a platform where everybody is positioned at the same height. On one section stands an individual in scrubs. It’s a lab tech. Or a research-

Publisher ........................... Nancy Johnson Regional Editor ................David Willberg Advertising ........................ Sean Choo Foo Production ..........Karen Mitchell-Steele ................................................... Dolores Young Reporter .................................Kelly Johnson

er. Or someone in laundry service. A doctor, a nurse, a caregiver. A janitor. Someone in food services. Or a first responder. An administrator. A public health official. Every single person who represents a facet of health care systems all across the nation. They are working tirelessly from behind masks and beyond closed doors. They, and they alone, know the stress, the pressure, and the reality of the situation where they are. Gold medal.

Stepping up on the next section of the podium is an individual in a uniform. Or jeans. Or a suit.

The factory worker making what we need. The truck drivers keeping supplies moving. Police officers and firefighters. Store employees. Those running public transport. Childcare workers. Translators and interpreters. Employers looking for ways to keep people on the payroll. So many more keeping the essentials going. Gold medal.

And then, the third section is left empty. It represents all those who are heeding what we have been implored to do; stay home. That spot on the podium is for you and me and all those who are using our best weapon—staying apart and staying away—so that others can continue doing safely what we desperately need done. Gold medal.

The time will come when we will again be cheering on our athletes, and the Olympic podium will be put to use next year. But right now we have many others to cheer on, encourage and honor--our new Team Canada. For each and every one of them the unexpected training ground is also the front lines.

I can’t draw it, but I can picture it. A new podium for a new day. This is what Team Canada looks like right now. The team outfit is whatever we each wear to do our part. Our team cheer is an ongoing round of applause for all those doing what needs to be done. Our team motto? So simple in phrasing, so vital in action: “flatten the curve.”

Press on Team Canada. Let’s show each other this is not about the medals, but our mettle.

That’s my outlook.

GREEN LIVING 4 eco-friendly fibres The textile industry relies heavily on ecologically suspect materials. Petroleumbased synthetic fibres like polyester, nylon and spandex reinforce our dependency on fossil fuels. What’s more, non-organic cotton is grown using large quantities of pesticides and herbicides. These respectively account for 60 per cent and 30 per cent of the fibres used worldwide.

Here are four greener alternatives.

1. Eucalyptus. Able to absorb moisture and inhibit bacterial growth, eucalyptus is a fantastic alternative to other types of textiles. It grows in arid soil (even that which can’t be used for much of anything else), it requires

very little water and the fabric production process is environmentally friendly. However, it’s unlikely to grow in North America.

2. Bamboo. This is the fastest growing plant on the planet, and it doesn’t need any chemical pesticides or fertilizers to thrive. It also requires a lot less water than cotton.

However, it’s hard to grow in some climates and most bamboo fabric has to be imported from China.

3. Linen. An already popular textile, linen is made from flax stems, meaning that flax production could serve the dual purpose of providing food and fabric. Linen is much stronger and more durable than cotton and flax and can be cultivated in a wide range of climates,

Paws & Claws

making it a very promising source of textile.

4. Hemp.

Hypoallergenic and stronger than cotton, hemp grows quickly in almost any climate, is resistant to bugs and diseases and matures in a mere 11 weeks. It also works perfectly as part of a crop rotation system with corn and soybean, which are heavily cultivated all over North America. On the flipside, it does need to be mixed with cotton to provide a soft fabric.

While further work needs to be done, there are a number of alternatives to petroleum-based textiles and nonorganic cotton that are available. Look for them in speciality stores and in the aisles of more traditional boutiques.

Should you change your pet’s food?

Most pets don’t require a varied diet, but this doesn’t mean they should eat the same type of food throughout their lives. In fact, there are key times when a new type of food is required. Here’s what you should know.

When to change your pet’s diet Animals have different nutritional and caloric needs at various stages in their life. For example, a young pet needs different food than one that’s an adult or a senior.

But aging isn’t the only reason to consider changing your pet’s diet. If you notice that your dog or cat has developed a food sensitivity or needs help managing their weight, a different diet may help.

How to change your pet’s diet The transition to a new food should be gradual and take at least a week. This will help ensure that your pet gets used to the new taste and doesn’t suffer from stomach issues.

On the first day, feed

them a mix of 75 per cent old food and 25 per cent new food. The following days, progressively use more of the new food and less of the old until you attain a mix of 75 per cent new food and 25 per cent old food. From there, you can feed them their new food alone.

If your pet doesn’t eat the new type of food, don’t give up. You may just need to make the transition even more gradually and over a longer period of time by changing the ratio of food more slowly.

From Page 3 - RCMP report • A possible impaired driver was thwarted when someone took their keys. Members ensured they were welcome where they remained and our file was concluded.

• Another impaired driver was reported, however, patrols were not successful in locating the vehicle.

• A Member followed an individual across the bridge between Manor and Redvers, which has a 60 km/hour restriction. There is a reason for this folks and it is because it is dangerous to driver across it any faster. Yes a ticket was issued, however, it could have been much more expensive.

• We had a minor collision where the driver sought medical attention. Another collision resulted in the death of a deer and a tow truck for the vehicle.

• I have always liked multiple choice exams.

Even if you don’t know the answer you get to at least have a guess. Now as a Police Officer I have found

Yay...Spring is here!

multiple choice is often an option. Let us say, we stop a vehicle for not stopping at a stop sign, the driver is not wearing a seatbelt and they do not have a valid licence. Now the answer is: a) Stop sign ticket - $230 b) seatbelt ticket - $175 c) no driver’s licence ticket - $150 d) any combination of (a) and (b) or (b) and (c) or (a) and (c) e) all of the above • Now the answer depends on attitude and history of the offender. This is where things often go bad for the violator. If you greet the Police Officer with profanity or rudeness I can almost guarantee the answer will be (d) or (e). That said we are only human and some Police Officers will always go to (d) or (e). Remember the only way to avoid the ticket is avoid breaking the law.

• Now sometimes it is not multiple choice. A vehicle was stopped because the licence plates did not match the vehi-

Yay, spring is ofcially here, according to the calendar at least! I couldn’t be more excited about that, Old Man Winter was really getting on my nerves! Many of us have been cooped up in our homes these past few days and with no certainty of when we will get back to “normal”. Between that and the longer days and spurts of warm sunshine I think it’s safe to say many of us are getting that “spring itch”. To keep you from getting too stir crazy I have come up with a few ways to “scratch that itch” all while giving your home a fresh new look!

Clean It Up This is the perfect time to get your home feeling fresh. From windows to walls, give everything a wipe down and deep cleaning. There is nothing better then clean windows to bring in even more of that beautiful spring sunshine.

Add Some Paint As for the walls, a scrub down is a great way to freshen up your home but I like to take in one step further and give them a fresh coat of paint (my Mom always cringes that I prefer to paint instead of wash). It’s like killing two birds with one stone, you don’t have to wash the walls and you get an amazing fresh new look! Of course, some walls get a little greasy and grimy and need a scrub before painting, in that case add some TSP in you water to help prep for the new paint. I always say paint is one of the most dramatic and economical ways to make a huge impact and what better way to get you started on a fresh new spring look. Paint is also a great way put a breath of life back into a tired piece of furniture, taking it from something you want to hide to a feature piece in your home.

Get Rid of the Clutter While washing and/or painting your walls you’ve most likely removed all of your pictures, art, and decor. Before putting it all back up, take the opportunity to declutter and decide if each item is something you really want or if it’s time to let it go. The items you are ready to let it go, consider passing to someone who has admired it in the past or take it to your local thrift store.

Accessorize This is the perfect time to give your rooms some life by changing out some of your accessories and adding in a few new pieces. I like to pack away the warm and fuzzy pillows and blankets from winter and throw in some fresh coloured curtains, pillows, throws, and maybe even replace the area rug.

Move It. Move it.

I am constantly rearranging my things (I bet you would of never guessed that!).

Move your sofa and chairs and switch things up a bit, then step back and see how you like it. It is a quick and easy way to give your room a fresh new look.

Add Greenery Lastly, one of the nicest ways to freshen up any space for spring is with plants. Real plants are great but I prefer the convenience of realistic faux botanicals. Don’t get me wrong, I do love real plants and gardening is one of my most treasured pastimes but when you want to enjoy lake life and vacations in the summer faux botanicals tend to do a little better with no water! I hope you were able to nd some inspiration and ideas to keep you busy! It’s a bonus that these projects are extremely affordable and the entire family can pitch in and help you out too!

Simple things that can make a huge impact.

So till next time, it’s me, That Girl Shannon saying, “Got the itch....let’s scratch it!”

Going Stir Crazy ??

Tackle your clutter and nd a place for your knickknacks!!

Hang your pictures and art pieces.

If you’re stumped and don’t know where to start... send me pictures of your wall or space to shannon@frontporch-interiors.com

We’d be happy to give you some ideas!

Keep in mind.... you can always

cle. It was then determined the driver did not have a licence, there was no insurance on the vehicle and when the accused was arrested they were also found to have cannabis and methamphetamine.

• Members issued approximately 15 tickets and 15 warnings over the past week.

• Yes we still have a job to do, and if nothing else we are working very hard to ensure we are being visible. We are putting on a lot of miles driving throughout our Detachment area each day.

• Tickets were issued for fail to wear a seatbelt - $175, no insurance -$580, drive at a speed that is greater than reasonable -$205, operate without a drivers licence - $150, cannabis in a vehicle -$360, misuse of licence plates - $175 and the most expensive speeding tickets were for $304, $310 and $352.

• Warnings were issued for speeding, inadequate daytime driving lights and fail to produce a driver’s licence.

• We did not issue any inspection tickets. We could have, however, under the circumstances chose not to.

Readers share their stories on self-isolation due to COVID-19 Submitted by Don and Marylin Carter Don and Marylin Carter of Carlyle were in Puerto Morelos, Mexico, a village about 25 minutes south of Cancun. They flew home out of Cancun, Mexico to Saskatoon on Saturday, March 14. They had been watching the news and were aware of the COVID-19 outbreak, but quarantine was just recommended at that time.

At the Cancun airport there was little evidence that there was a virus outbreak. Our flight was uneventful and going through customs in Saskatoon, they were asked a few questions, but nothing out of the ordinary. There were signs posted in the luggage area concerning COVID-19 and recommendations about washing hands and social distancing/self isolation. They returned home and put themselves in self-isolation/quarantine.

The 14th day of self-isolation/quarantine was on Saturday, March 28. They have shown no symptoms at all. Friends and family communicated through Facebook, telephone and waving through the window. They ordered any food that was needed from the local grocery store. They mainly ordered fresh foods as their pantry and freezer had sufficient items to insure that they had good and nutritious meals.

They did check their TP supply and found they had eleven rolls. They were sure that would be sufficient and if they went through their stock in 14 days then they probably had other issues than COVID-19!

Marylin did daily disinfecting of surfaces, door knobs etc. Marylin realized that she had not had her usual sinus cold on returning from our holiday which was a bonus. She diffused Thieves or Purification daily to minimize the germ factor. The humidifier has been running constantly.

They both kept a positive and humorous attitude throughout the isolation period. Marylin scanned in her art work she created while she was gone and posted them on her FB page and on Marylin’s Art Creations page. She continued to sew, using her stash of material. Don did some writing and worked on projects around the house that needed some attention. Don’s humor continued through his posts and interactions on FB. He also played online games against any friend that was available.

They tried not to get overwhelmed by the news daily, getting a morning update and an evening update. Other than that, they tried to avoid the news

SEEDING

This sign in Don and Marylin Carter’s window says it all, as they completed their 14 days of selfisolation upon returning from Mexico. on television and on the computer. It helped them reduce unneeded stress and help make it through the two weeks. They will continue this as they social distance.

They are thankful to live in our community that has tried to provide services and products to all of us during this time. Their main message is to stay positive. Don’t get overwhelmed with the news. This too will pass. Mark it down as a story you can tell your kids. They also they say is to keep in contact with friends and family by phone or social media.

We will continue by doing social distancing.

Are you self-isolating at home due to COVID-19?

If so, The Observer would love to hear your story and share with our readers. If this is something you would consider submitting, all we're asking is a short write-up on where you had travelled to, what you are doing at home to keep busy, etc. A photo of you would be awesome too! We will publish in upcoming issues of The Observer. Write-ups and photos can be emailed to: observer@sasktel.net Thank you for considering this and we look forward to reading your experiences and THANK YOU for doing your part in keeping us all safe!

Sharing their self-isolation stories Submitted by Tara Cure, Carlyle, SK Mexico bound My 8-year-old daughter and I were on our way to Mexico to visit my parents. When we left, the chatter of COVID-19 was just in the beginning stages.

We were headed to Guadalajara and there were no known cases through the cities we were travelling and no travel restrictions other than China.

We decided we were going to go ahead with our long-awaited trip.

While we were there, is when the news really started amplifying how serious everything was getting. As a precaution, we limited some of our adventures, hung out more at the house than anything and watched as my dad bought more toilet paper than most people need in a year. Though the panic there was non-existent, the shelves were all still full of hand sanitizer and cleaner.

Our flights home remained the same, so we boarded the first of three red eye flights home. Guadalajara airport was packed, you would never guess that we were in the middle of a pandemic. Very few face masks.

Mexico city was another story, while still bustling, the sights were different. 90% of the travelers had facemasks, but we had no time to take in the sights as we were mid run to catch our flight to Toronto.

It was in Toronto that we were asked by customs if we were experiencing symptoms to which we answered no. And then we were told we were now under a mandatory 14-day quarantine. We are not allowed to go anywhere, home and stay home. Toronto airport was quiet, but still travelers, some with masks, most without. We boarded our last flight to Regina, exhausted but excited to see the rest of the family and slightly panicked about life over the next two weeks. Regina airport was dead, I mean it’s never usually super busy, but there were about 10 travelers throughout the gates to fly elsewhere.

Hugs and some squealing (on my daughter’s part) as we met up with my husband and son. And then the bad news . . . well, now we are all in quarantine.

At first, it started out with some excitement, after all I haven’t seen them in almost two weeks and now I get to spend two weeks with them. We had found out school was out, so perfect. Guess I will harness some inner teacher, clean the spots I’ve been meaning to clean for a while and catch up on laundry.

Day 1: I’ve unpacked from our trip, there’s a first! I’m optimistic! I’ve got load after load of laundry going. Everything washable is being washed. I feel good about this. Look what we can get done!

Days 2 and 3: Still slightly optimistic. I am no teacher, never wanted to be and I have more love for teachers than I ever have. I’m also really appreciative to the local businesses 20041BS0 for delivering groceries.

20041BS1 And friends for doorstop drop-off of medications and even flowers.

Days 4 and 5: The realization has set in deeply that we are mid-fundraiser for

Moms on a Community Mission spring cash giveaway, as we are not having the sales we were hoping since the kiddos cannot go door to door. Feeling somewhat bummed.

Days 6 to 9: My Snapchat stories are becoming more and more unhinged. Parody songs of what I will do when I’m free to leave the house again. Doorstop drop-offs have begun including alcohol . . . because I am NOT a teacher. Turns out all the projects I’ve put off for when I finally have time, is actually because I don’t want to do them. Those projects remain unfinished.

Day 10: We are in the final stretch. With the exception of putting the garbage to the curb we have remained in our house/backyard. We have spent so much quality time with the kids, some good, some frustrating. We are looking forward to being able to do things we enjoy doing again soon, which is what keeps us positive. And we are cooking and crafting more together. And hoping that others are following the same rules so we can get back to a sense of normalcy.

Thankful to have our health.

Marilyn & Larry Brady Carlyle, SK Submitted by Marilyn Brady Larry and I were living in Arizona for the winter while news began to be filled with the Coronavirus! Like most we weren’t too concerned in the beginning. Our park is very social with meals, dances mahjong etc.

Gradually things began to change. By the second week in March our family was anxious for us to head home. We

needed to wait until our travel partners had safely seen that their elderly father was safely on a flight home. We worried that the border crossing would shut down before we made our 30-hour drive pulling a camper.

Once we were on our way we ate and slept in the camper, only stopping for gas using a card at the pumps. No interaction with the public.

Once we arrived

THIS SPOT COULD BE YOURS!

back at our farm we were relieved. We’re lucky that we can easily self-isolate while still able to be outdoors. We haven’t left the farm or visited family. Groceries are delivered. I regret not being able to visit my 91-yearold mother, but only have one more week left of isolation.

Our world has certainly changed, but we so grateful to be back to our community. Feels like a safe place to be.

Jan Rutten’s experience with self-isolation

Submitted by Jan Rutten, Kenosee Lake, SK I have been self-isolating since noon on Friday, March 20. My husband, Brian has moved to a suite at his sister’s, Barb and her husband Darren’s home.

I had started isolating at our rental in Mexico, trying to come in contact with as few people as possible. Then, of course the repatriation flight home

by Westjet and you are back amongst hundreds of people again at the airports and on the planes.

I must say West Jet was amazing. They treated us all so professionally and with such kindness. They kept reinforcing the importance of proper hygiene and coughing into your elbow, hand washing, etc.

Since being isolated I have just been finishing projects started and spring cleaning. My husband leaves groceries at the back door and my son brings my mail the same way. I wave from down the hallway. I am hoping everyone does their part to end this COVID-19, so we can all put it behind us.

THE OBSERVER

Novice Cougars’ (Chris) season sees early exit Nathan Coffey Sports Contributor Well ladies and gentleman, it looks like the Novice Cougars’ (Chris) season has come to and abrupt and anticlimactic end.

The boys put together an amazing season, but sadly for the nine of them COVID-19 had plans to shut down the great season just a day before the championship game.

The season started way back in October and the Cougars played consistently top notch right into March. They finished 9-1 in the regular season, won three of the four tourneys they entered and cruised through their half of the playoff bracket, but this year the league trophy will read Corona2020.

Even though there will be no banner hanging from the rafters, all these players can finally wash their gear, store it for the summer knowing they left it all out on the ice and that they left a lot of fans, parents and grandparents, with a ton of memories that could put a smile on even the most stoic of faces.

From Owen “Top Cheese” Light scoring highlight reel goals on a daily basis, all the while making them look like he could pull them off in his sleep, or Nash “The Flash” Faber defying logic and somehow getting faster every time he stepped out on the ice.

Only comparable to a bullet, somehow getting faster mid-shot.

Hayden “Hands and Hair” Puskas pulling off dangles that had most opponents tied in knots, just like his favourite player, Flames’ Johnny Hockey.

Griffin “Coast to Coast” Eaton somehow managed to cover the whole defensive zone, and still put up great offensive numbers. This, mixed with his dressing room antics, left most people speechless.

Brody “Crash the Crease” Knelsen really came out of his shell as he found out that taking penalties was almost as much fun as scoring goals and usually left his grandma shaking her head, but I could tell she was smiling on the inside.

Keenan “Sharknado” Winkler was a firecracker all year and his patented fist pump with one leg in the air after all his goals had everyone grinning from ear to ear.

Reed “The Rifle” Coffey playing in his first year of hockey managed his first penalty, goals, assists, and even showed Coach Joey he could take a hit, even if it was a door doing the hitting.

Xander “The Postman” Brown managed to score a goal he didn’t realize he scored and even tried his hand at motivational coaching, which started the charge for a comeback must win game.

And last but not least, Nik “Brickwall” Brown was the last line of defence and had an amazing first season as a full time goalie. If he wasn’t stopping pucks, he was quick with some head scratching comments, or trying to bribe me to hype him up in the paper.

And let’s not forget the coaches. Coach Chris Light, who put in countless hours of prep time for games and practices and from my understanding, only swore a few times.

Coach Jeff Faber, who never missed a game and managed to hold back laughter until it was appropriate to let it out and Coach Joey Eaton, who could get a smile from every kid, regardless of their moods and was always ready to squirt water in your face if you got too upset. (No one drowned, but it looked close on a few occasions).

Also a special thank you to everyone behind the scenes that made the season a huge success and a treat to be a part of. And thanks to the Observer for printing all these write-ups even when they got a bit long winded.

It took a worldwide pandemic to shut these boys down and I’m surprised even that did it. These boys deserve a huge pat on the back and a big round of applause for everything they accomplished this year.

You’re all champions to me and I’m sure all your fans would say the same thing.

See everyone next year and stay safe out there.

Alida News Submitted by Edel Cowan

Another week has gone by with very little going on, which of course is very helpful to keep all of us safe. Also there is very little traffic on the roads or on the streets. We’ve keep mostly to ourselves, and staying on the farm, going outside for fresh air and cleaning up around the yard as much as possible, going for a drive into town, stopping only to pick up mail and some groceries when needed. So don’t get to see many people around and about either, and if we do we stay at a discreet distance and send them a short greeting or

Maryfield Villa News Submitted by Janet Mark LOCKDOWN! If I go out the door to walk on the south sidewalk, I cannot get back in unless I let the staff know. No visitors at this time. Melissa Thiessen brought her children through the snow courtyard to wave at us at supper time through the window. It reassured the children that “Great Grandma Leora is all right. She just can not come out right now.”

Mary Thiessen phones us from her isolation at the farm.

Joyce was trilled to hear that her family had made it back across the border from Arizona.

They and other repatriots are quarantined at their Moosomin Condo.

What a relief!

Only three non-members of the staff can come in for activities with us residents. Doris Erickson leads sitting down exercises every Monday and does card bingo. Heather Ludlum calls regular Bingo.

Charlotte Kovach brings a Saturday night movie.

Charlotte came back Sunday night to lead us in Hymnsing. None of us have been to church---cancelled—and we really needed to sing.

Each person chose their favorite hymn. Singing uses our mind and all the body muscles, eyes and ears, and soul.

We are all healthy here, (in our aging bodies) and hope to keep it that way.

Sandra Dick’s Spring Cleaning sisters, Lena and Cornelia, house cleaned several rooms before the lockdown, but spring cleaning can wait. (We don’t do it any more).

Maybe it will be your cure for Cabin Fever.

a high-five wave.

Received a text the other day with a beautiful picture – it was from my Granddaughter Ainsley. She and her mom had spent some time decorating their front windows with hearts and some Easter decorations (bunny, chicks, eggs), which is adding a very welcoming sight to their street. Another great idea to keep oneself entertained.

Got my “sports fix” by watching some reruns of the 2019 World Men’s Championship curling, Women’s curling and some of the World Women’s Hockey games. It’s still not the same as watching the live games, but one can’t be choosy and watching reruns is better than nothing at all. If I could

find a movie to get interested in I’d watch it as I do become tired of listening to the news, as it was mostly always all about Covid 19 which seems to be repeated all day long. Do enjoy Reading too, but can only do that for a short period of time (or I may go to sleep). However I do hope all will soon be coming to an end and things will get back to normal – patience is the name of the game.

Believe it or not but it’s soon Easter – enjoy the long-weekend beginning with Good Friday on April 10. An early Easter should be a good sign for an early spring and let’s hope for a better farming year than last year. Stay safe and take care out there.

Please keep me post-

ed 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 (306-443-2496) or text (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.

Wawota News Submitted by Myrna Olson

Jean Bogner attended a luncheon in Regina at the Annual meeting of the Saskatchewan Horse Federation. Jean was inducted into the SHF Hall of Fame.

She was presented with a lovely plaque in recognition of her years of service with horses and horse people.

Several friends and family members joined Jean for this occasion. Jean thanked the local Wheels and Saddles club for having nominated her for this honour.

Barb Vince from St. Malo, MB spent several days visiting Jean Bogner, and took her to Regina to receive her award from the Saskatchewan Horse Federation.

Word has been received of the passing of Wes Palendat, a former resident of Wawota, at Hillview

Manor, Weyburn. He passed away on March 20 at the age of 90 years. He is predeceased by his wife Tillie, and survived by his daughter Darcy( Larry) and grandchildren Tye and Jessica. A private family graveside service is planned for a later date.

Congratulations to Brandon Benner who has completed his latest school session. He achieved his Red Seal Inter provincial Journeyman status. Brandon is employed at Red Light in Wawota.

Sympathy to the family of the late Jim Duke of Regina. He passed away on Mar. 22 at the age of 84 years. Family members are wife, Bernice (Myers), sons, Daryl, Curtis and Tyler and daughter Debbie (Dale) McDonald and granddaughter Taya. There will

be no funeral by request.

During this time of isolation I am finding lots to keep me busy. I have been doing some sewing, some cleaning, doing crosswords and playing Scrabble on the internet. I also have read several books and was enjoying Big Brother Canada. The first week one player self-evicted, and by the third week two players had been sent home for indiscretions. On the fourth week, which was last week, another player wanted to go home, but instead self-evicting wanted to be voted off.

By then it was announced that the show would finish on Apr. 1 due to concerns about the safety of the crew.

A strange ending to a strange season of Big Brother Canada.
