Living Skies CrossFit: Fitness for All, Fitness for Life Lynne Bell CARLYLE OBSERVER observer@sasktel.net

Carlyle’s Living Skies CrossFit has recently moved to a new location, but it continues to be a welcoming community of participants of all ages and �itness levels, eager to take on the challenge of

working towards healthier lifestyles- and equally eager to welcome others to join them.

Instructors Carson Brady, Danielle Steele, Colin Wilson, Chris Humphries, Scott Nicholson, and Darren Swanson currently coach male and female clients “from teenagers to seniors,” ac-

cording to Brady, with eventual plans to expand the gym’s reach to include classes for even younger age groups.

“A lot of people have the wrong idea about CrossFit,” says Brady, who is also a CrossFit competitor. “CrossFit is for everyone and it’s whatever you want it to be. If your goal

is to lose a few pounds or to set a better example for your kids, or to be a better hockey player... The reasons are as varied as the people. But the beautiful thing about CrossFit is that it is universally scaleable to your abilities or any physical challenges you have.”

“In reality, it’s functional

�itness,” continues Brady.

“For every age and every �itness level. We teach people to move properly and we teach them nutrition and mobility. The goal is to keep them strong and healthy- physically and mentally- for as long as possible, ideally throughout their entire lives.”

Review Renders Rural Regeneration Unresolved Vern May Submitted

In rural Manitoba, there is a passionate drive to make things happen to keep our communities vital and progressive. Tens of thousands of dollars are raised through grassroots-level fundraisers for everything from recreation to infrastructure repair and replacement on public spaces and celebrated attractions and landmarks. However, while the thrust of these initiatives comes from the individuals and committees with a passionate connection to the project, this has been greatly assisted through access to Provincial grants to support growth and renewal. That added assistance may not be as readily available pending the outcome of a Provincial review of all municipal programs.

On October 7, the Province announced that it was suspending applications to the Community Places

grant program for the remainder of 2016.

This is haunting news for many communities who are currently looking at a need for infrastructure renewal on arenas, community halls and museums among other not-forprofit structures and spaces in our prairie towns. The program was responsible for injecting $3.6 Million additional dollars in matched funding to help make success accessible for rural taxpayers who may feel that there is always a hand in their pocket in support of one community cause or another.

In Westman alone, the program has supported an average of 39 projects per year over the past four years of the thirty year recognition of this program.

With an average of $11,170 per grant, this works out roughly to a $1.7 Million in funding that has augmented local efforts. Recent projects such as the Souris skateboard park have been a recipient

On October 7, the Province of Manitoba announced a suspension of applications to the Community Places grant program for the remainder of 2016. This does not bode well for small communities such as Souris, which relied heavily on this program to help fund their skate park, which opened just last summer. Community and Economic Development workers are concerned about the impact this decision will have on local economies. Photo|Souris Plaindealer files of funding through the Community Places program, the park itself was completed with $20,000 of program support in 2015.

What is troubling is that the program also proved to be a tremendous local economic driver as contractors recruited to complete the work identified in the program have been largely local service providers and professionals, often offering a reduced rate as demon-

stration of their commitment to their community and its wellbeing. While projects already approved for funding are allowed to proceed toward completion, some of those projects waiting in the wings for needed support, may be facing an extended period of time in limbo.

One such project is a renewed play structure at Minnedosa Beach. A committee of young mothers has

been driving this initiative in their town for a $180,000 replacement of the generation-old playground equipment that has reached the end of its life. In a few short months they have confirmed $59,000 through fundraising and local Foundation support. An application to the Community Places program was identified as one of their first initiatives for the coming year with hopes that they might start and complete the project over the coming year. At this point, their options to reach out beyond the community are somewhat on ice.

Another program currently under review that has created a visual impact on the rural landscape is the Hometown Manitoba grant which seeks to assist business owners and civic governments to refresh the curb appeal of their business district and public areas. This has included matched support to help merchants upgrade signage, lighting, exterior painting and finishing or other upgrades to promote

community re-investment and renewal.

Over the past few years, funding through this program has been approved for a number of businesses in Hartney, Souris and other communities with noticeable businessspecific facelifts taking place at valued savings to those rural entrepreneurs that are already fighting an uphill battle against regional centralization and the continued war against the selection and pricing offered by big box stores in Brandon and other hub cities.

While our Provincial government is celebrating a reduction in the budget deficit by $100 Million within the first 100 days in office, we can only hope that the suspension of some of these critical support programs which have been in place for thirty years can be readily identified for the benefit that they hold for communities that are contributing already as much as they can and are still just short of securing the successes that mean the most to the livelihood of their hometowns.

Fitness for All, Fitness for Life Continued from page 1 “A lot of the most profound adaptations and changes I’ve seen (in people) are not just the physical,� adds Brady. “It’s between the ears.

The mental shift is inspiring, too. People are happier. When they get out of bed in the morning, they’re better-equipped to take on the day-whether that’s at their job or whatever they do that day.� “Their choices are more positive, too. Maybe instead of heading to the bar on a weekend, they’ll choose to go for a run, instead.�

Brady knows of what he speaks and says the program has transformed his life. “A few years ago-before CrossFit- I started out running a lot and trying to do random bodybuilding exercises. It wasn’t very much fun for me.

Cam Jarvis was running CrossFit then in Carlyle and told me I should give it a try.�

“By the end of my first class, I was hooked.� “At that time, I was overweight and drinking heavily. I was depressed and feeling down about myself. Now I’m extremely happy. I get out of bed in the morning feeling better- but it’s not only that that and it’s not just me who experiences a positive change like this.�

Twenty-two-year-old Kenzie Craig agrees. The primary care paramedic says that CrossFit at Living Skies has enhanced all aspects of her life- including helping her meet the physical and emotional challenges of her career. “I’ve been doing CrossFit for nearly three years now- mostly in Carlyle,� says Craig. “I was never originally into fitness or sports growing up. After high achool, I moved away and I gained some weight and suffered from depression.� “CrossFit helped me to focus not so much on body image, but on what my body can do. As far as

my depression, I’m now medication-free. It’s an awesome support group and I’ve done things I never thought I could do.�

Instructor Danielle Steele echoes that sentiment.

Steele, who has been training with CrossFit for over two years, recently qualified as a coach, and says: “I hope people realize it’s not a scary thing.

As an instructor, I’ve had people come up to me on the street and say ‘I’m in such bad shape’ or ‘I couldn’t do what you do.’� “When I started CrossFit, I couldn’t do one situp,� says Steele. “When people tell me they can’t do what I do, I tell them: ‘That’s because I’ve gone (to CrossFit) for two-anda half years!’� “And the benefits go beyond the physical,� laughs Steele. “As a working mom, it’s saved my sanity.� “When I first came to CrossFit, it was six weeks after I had my second child, my daughter, Jorja,� she says. “People look at Carson (Brady) and Colin (Wilson) who’ve competed in CrossFit competitions throughout Western Canada and say: ‘I can’t do what they do,’� says Steele. “But neither can I. But it’s a program that can work for everyone.

I’m a mom and there are high school students who do CrossFit at Living Skies and men and

women of all ages and abilities.�

CrossFit Coach Colin Wilson says: “Carson and I compete, but we train as competitors. If we didn’t compete in CrossFit, we’d be training to be healthy individuals, which is something we want for everyone.� “Whether you’re 14 or 64, we can make any workout manageable for anybody,� says Wilson. “ You don’t have to be able to do 100 pullups; you don’t have to be able to do one pullup. It’s a place where the community is really supportive.� “We can accommodate anybody. In fact, if you’re really strapped, you can bring your kids to the gym. We have a play area set up and I’ve brought our kids. My 4-year-old has played there while I work out and our oneyear-old has sat in the stroller if either my wife and I are working out and one of us is busy. We don’t have a babysitter at the gym, but if you’re strapped, we can work it out.�

Brady says: “When someone comes to CrossFit for the first time, the first thing I ask them is what their limitations are. Our first priority is setting up a safe program for everyone who comes to (Living Skies CrossFit).� “CrossFit gets a bad rap sometimes, because of the intensity factor,�

adds Brady. “But what we work on is movement, consistency, then intensity- in that order.�

CrossFit is based on nine basic movements and 10 skills which have both a physical and neurological basis. The program encompasses elements of weightlifting, gymnastics, metabolic conditioning, mobility, sport and nutrition. “CrossFit is not your 21-day fix,� adds Brady. “It’s fitness for the rest of your life. We achieve that through community and having fun with each other. If it’s not enjoyable, it’s not sustainable.� “It’s really an adult playground, in a sense,� continues Brady. “You re-

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme in France during World War One. My mother’s uncle died in that battle along with many other British Commonwealth men, and my mother asked me to accompany her on a visit to his cemetery this spring. But like many others, there was more than one relative’s last resting place to visit. My father’s uncle Joshua died and is buried in Belgium; my husband Brock’s great uncle’s remains are also buried in Belgium. Brock’s sister Beth and her daughter also made the trip with Mum and I. Last year, Brock and I, with four friends, had visited Belgium, but this was my first visit to the Somme Valley. We rented a car to make the trip north from Paris. I was the driver and at times I had more than one navigator to help my

find the cemeteries we wanted to visit.

Uncle Jack, as he was known to my mother, Kaye Graham of New Zealand, does not have a grave marker; his name is inscribed on a panel marking the deaths of soldiers where no remains could be found. My mother remembers her grandmother being told that “there was nothing left of Uncle Jack.” He, like so many others, had been killed by a bomb 26 September, 1916. He was 23 years old. Officials knew how many people had been in the battle, and those who did not return. Those are the names etched in seven panels in Caterpillar Valley War Cemetery. The Cemetery contains 5.569 Commonwealth burials and commemorations from World War One. Of that number, 3,796 are unidentified. On the east side of the cemetery is the Caterpillar Valley (New Zealand) Memorial, commemorating

more than 1,200 officers and men of the New Zealand Division who died in the Battles of the Somme in 1916 and whose graves are not known.

It seems a lonely cemetery, perched as it is on a slight hill overlooking a long valley. Yet while we were there on a cool, windy day in April, a young family from New Zealand was also laying flowers on a relative’s grave. ANZAC day, Australia and New Zealand’s equivalent to Remembrance Day, had just been celebrated on April 25 and Mum had brought with her some poppies. One she placed by Great Uncle Jack›s name, another she offered to the family from Otago.

They too were making a pilgrimage of sorts to mark a relative›s final resting place.

Within a very short distance, there are numerous cemeteries marking the last resting place of soldiers from Canada, New Zealand, Australia, South

A battle had been fought and those killed were buried. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission maintains these cemeteries.

Following a short visit to Vimy Ridge, we headed north to Ypres, Belgium. Our bed and breakfast hostess offered us a map marking the 160 cemeteries that surround Ypres so that we could easily locate the two cemeteries we wanted to visit.

Cheyne was in the 27th Battalion Canadian Infantry. He was killed aged 22 November, 1917. His name is also commemorated on a memorial in Miniota.

Tyne Cot is the largest Commonwealth War Cemetery in terms of burials, according to the Commonwealth War Graves commission website. There are 11,962 servicemen buried or commemorated in Tyne Cot; of that number 8,374 are unidentified.

It may sound strange to say, but each of the three cemeteries we visited gave us a different feeling: Caterpillar Valley seemed lonely; Tyne Cot busy and Dozinghem peaceful. Dozinghem is surrounded on three sides by trees with the fourth opening up into a farmer’s field.

Senior Men’s Hockey returns to Carlyle Free admission to tonight’s home opener!

Kelly Running CARLYLE OBSERVER observer@sasktel.net

The Carlyle PureChem Cougars have been practicing and are ready for the season to start with their first home opener to be held since the beginning of the 2012/13 season. A three year hiatus was taken by the team, but it is back and feeling strong heading into the season.

The Carlyle PureChem Cougars have dubbed this their comeback season and the team is on the prowl ready for competition to begin. Their home opener – with free admission – is being held on Friday, Nov. 4, the puck drops at 8 p.m.,

and doors open around 7:30 p.m.

“Practices have been going really well,” explained Dallas Lequyer, a player and the president of the Cougars board. “Tim [Lequyer] runs a really good, organized practice. We’re always moving. And the general feel of the team is good, we’re ready.

We’re there to win and we all feel we have the team to do that with.”

Their first Big Six game is against the Wawota Flyers, last season’s Big Six champs, and the PureChem Cougars are hungry for the opportunity to take them on.

“It’s going to be great,” Lequyer said.

“We had choice during Big Six scheduling as to

who we wanted to play first, and we decided we wanted to come out and challenge them right away.”

The team has been practicing for the last month and has gotten in a couple of exhibition games versus Whitewood and Grenfell last weekend.

In addition to a night of free admission, the Cougars are also welcoming Cougar alumni for a ceremonial puck drop on the ice as a special way to mark the return of the local team.

“We’re going to be doing a 50/50 that night as well,” Lequyer said. “Throughout the year we also have a lot of ideas to keep our fans engaged, our first game we wanted to

Esterhazy Maple Leaf Theatre reopens The marquee lights in Esterhazy are lit up once again as the Maple Leaf Theatre has recently re-opened its doors.

The building, which was built in 1952, closed to the public approximately six years ago. Since that time, the building has been waiting for a revitalization to happen.

At a social event a few months ago, the idea of revitalizing the theatre came up in a conversation with friends Chris and Katherine Miller and Ian and Noelle Gogol. Millers have lived in the community for many years, and have very fond memories of visiting the theatre as young children themselves, as well as memories of bringing their own children to movies. Conversely, Gogols moved to the community with their children four years ago and were avid moviegoers.

They were soon disappointed to learn that the local theatre was closed.

This beginning conversation quickly turned into action. Before long, the building was purchased and plans for a renovation were put into

the works. Along the way, it was discovered that Jennifer and Oryan Duff were hunting for a location to set up their dream coffee shop. Whippletree Coffee seemed like a perfect fit for the Maple Leaf Theatre - coffee and goodies during the week and movies and popcorn on the weekend.

It has been Jennifer’s dream ever since a being young girl to own and operate a coffee shop. After living in Esterhazy for three years and now calling it home, they pride themselves on investing in their community by being locally owned and locally operated. Their hearts are set on making connections with people, with local businesses, and with the community.

Whippletree’s hours are Monday-Friday 8:30-5, Saturday 10-4 and closed on Sundays. There will also be times when they will open late on Thursday nights for special events such as acoustic open mics.

To help house all of the bursting ideas that were being brainstormed, renovations needed to take place. The theatre space

theatre will be showing newer-released movies on the weekends – Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Depending on the movie, some weekends will have an early and a late show, while some will just play one movie

per night. A few extra movies will be added throughout the year, such as Wayback Wednesdays, holiday theme movies (Halloween, Christmas, etc.), Monday Movies for Mommies, etc.

2016 YIELD If you’re looking for higher yield and great soybean agronomy, you’ve come to the right place.

We have information on the latest products, practices and beneficial agronomic insights.

Ron Rabe’s DEKALB Agronomist Notes:

23-60RY is proven in this area as a consistent top yielder that matures early every year. 23-60RY handles stress better, works on any row spacing, handles higher trash, less tillage, and maintains a yield advantage in all soil types.

It’s a fact – Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® soybeans produce more three-bean pods per plant and more beans per plant compared to original Roundup Ready soybeans.

23-60RY has been the #1 seeded soybean variety in Manitoba in 2015 and 2016 (MASC).

Book Yours Today!

Akras R2 is a new variety from Elite that has shown itself to be widely adapted and a top performer in trials. It is early enough to be planted in Saskatchewan and further north in Manitoba and perform well. It has also outperformed many late maturing varieties in the Red River valley over the last 2 years of the MCVET1 trials. Akras R2 sets a new standard for pod height to make harvest easier and leave fewer beans on the ground. Plan on Akras R2 being a key part of your soybean rotation for years to come.

Great option for 1st time soybean grower!

Esterhazy Maple Leaf Theatre reopens Continued from page 8 The lobby area of the theatre was completely gutted and opened right up to help accommodate both the movie concession area along with Whippletree Coffee. The coffee shop seats approximately 22 people and serves drinks such as signature coffees and teas, lattes, espressos, frappes, smoothies, and Italian sodas. Fresh baking is also available, including cookies, cinnamon buns, miniloaves, brownies, and croissants. During movies and events, the theatre concession serves snacks such as popcorn, nachos, drinks, slushes, candy, chocolate bars and cotton candy.

The feedback from the first couple of weeks has shown people have a great emotional connection to the small-town theatre – even beyond screening movies. The coffee shop gives a new “big city” vibe in a small town living room and the building provides a community gathering place. From newreleases to old classic movies, to live music

and theatre events, to birthday parties, to an afternoon coffee session on a rainy day, or to coffee shop acoustic open mic nights, there is something for everyone.

All three couples involved share the same philosophy – to create a warm, friendly atmosphere to allow friends and families to share an afternoon or evening out together. In today’s world, it is too easy to sit in your basement and watch a movie by yourself, or to sit by yourself and drink coffee while staring at your phone screen. Maple Leaf Theatre and Whippletree Coffee want to become an extension of your house - a place to spend time with your family while watching a movie on the big-screen and eating popcorn, to experience live theatre for the first time, or to meet and visit with friends for an afternoon over a delicious signature coffee.

There is excitement all over town about these great additions to Esterhazy. People from surrounding com-

Moose Mountain Wado-Kai Karate Club hosts black belt grading in Carlyle Kelly Running CARLYLE OBSERVER observer@sasktel.net

The Moose Mountain Wado-Kai Karate Club were pleased to host a black belt grading in Carlyle – a first for the community. In the past members from the area have travelled to Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia to have their pregrading and grading completed.

“This has been held a lot of different places across Canada, but it’s the first time black belt grading has happened here,” Jayson Humphries, a sensei with the Moose Mountain Club, explained. “It’s exciting for those going for a black belt and a new degree, but it’s also really exciting because we have a large group of brown belts from our home club here going through their pre-grading.”

A clinic was hosted on the Friday, Oct. 21, and the grading took place on Saturday, Oct. 22. There was a total of 17 people participating in the grading, nine were going for a new belt or degree, while others were there for pre-grading or for the workout and feedback from the Joseki Board (the grading panel).

The Joseki Board includ-

In addition to those visiting Carlyle for grading, numerous Moose Mountain Wado-Kai Karate members with brown belts participated in their pre-grading. Photo|Kelly Running

ed six senseis who each had participants to focus on for the day and grade. The panel was led by Sensei Ron Mattie, an eighth degree black belt and Chief Instructor for the Shintani Wado Kai Karate Federation.

The Saturday began with a series of basic techniques: stances, transitions, blocks, strikes, and kicks.

The group then moved into advanced basics, which strings together different combinations of techniques.

Kevin Dyck, a second degree black belt with the Moose Mountain Club, ex-

plained, “The evaluation is really based on speed, power, and spirit; they’re evaluating your energy and your intent with each technique. So, they’re judging your spirit in addition to the proper technique of each skill.”

“They will also make sure skills are done at two different levels, low and high, to see that control as well.

And that doesn’t mean it has to be a high kick to the head, each person is different and some aren’t able to kick quite that high, but as long as you’re showing two different levels.”

$500,000 commitment to spray park project In the summer of 2016 the RM of Pipestone Council initiated a Recreation Development Committee to fundraise for Phase 1 of a recreational development including a spray park and new club house.

On October 27, 2016 Council resolved that $500,000 of the funds from the 2016 capital budget and royalties collected in 2016 would be used towards the spray park portion of Phase 1. CBC’s Still Standing Canadian comedian Jonny Harris made the formal announcement to the RM of Pipestone residents at a live comedy show on October 30, 2016. The audience was thrilled with the news! “It was a perfect way to announce the $500,000 commitment; we definitely are “Still Standing” and economically strong” said Tanis Chalmers, Manager of Economic Development.

The project is timely as the area’s population is showing an increase with more young families moving to the region. The addition of a spray park is said to complement the RMs current incentives to increase their population through business grants and residential development.

“This project provides another approach to attracting business to the area. Businesses need employees, and those employees are looking for an excellent lifestyle for themselves and their families” stated Chalmers.

Fundraising efforts for the Phase 1 projects will continue. Any funds raised beyond the $500,000 will contribute to completing aspects of Phase 1. The Recreation Development Committee has been working hard to raise funds for the project through community events and grant proposals. They will continue to do this along with providing assistance in the development of the spray park.

There were brown belt participants looking to earn a first degree black belt, while others looked to earn their second degree, third degree, and fifth degree black belts.

Before the day got underway the Joseki Board made one statement, “Today you will either pass and be given things to work on or we may tell you that we’re sorry and don’t think you’re ready for the next grade, but here are some things to work on. Either way you will have things to work on to improve moving forward.”

Healing, the natural way Terrie Welwood REDVERS OPTIMIST the.optimist@sasktel.net

“Not to say that doctors aren’t needed, they are very needed, but my hope for the future is that someday western medicine and alternative medicine will mesh together, for the patients. It’s starting but it’s not quite there yet.” – Melissa Cosgrove.

Some things just have to been seen – and felt – to be believed.

Melissa Cosgrove was introduced to the idea of alternative healing almost a decade ago. For half of those years, she’s been organizing Health and Wellness Expos

across south eastern Saskatchewan starting with one in Moosomin, about five years ago.

The weekend of October 15, she brought 17 exhibitors from across southern Saskatchewan to Redvers for the first Health and Wellness Expo here.

For Cosgrove the journey into Alternative Healing has been a very personal journey.

“Eight years ago, I had a four year old and a two year old who were often sick and on antibiotics nine months of the year,” she explained.

Both of her children, she said, required surgery, one to have their tonsils re-

moved and the other place tubes in his ears to attempt to correct constant ear infections.

At the time, her mother and her aunt were licensed practitioners of the Life Line alternative healing modality.

“My mom and my aunt took the course and had been using the Life Line techniques to help my children,” she explained. “It has been six years since then and neither of them have had the surgeries. They are both still intact and no more reoccurring infections.”

With the living proof that something about this alternative healing modality

worked, she took the first step.

“Even though, at the time, it was total garble to me and I didn’t understand it, I had actual proof that it worked and I decided, since I was having more kids – I now have four – that I needed to learn this, for my kids and for my self.”

After a number of intense weekend training sessions in Arizona and Chicago, Melissa became a certified practitioner in the Life Line technique – which she now offers out of her home in Storthoaks.

“I started doing the Life Line technique in 2010,” Cosgrove said explained.

“It’s an energy healing modality that uses subconscious mind patterns and beliefs that are not longer needed. Through the Life Line modality, we release those emotional beliefs that you’ve been hanging onto for years and years, which then helps your body to heal.”

A couple of years after she began her practise, she discovered essential oils.

Since then, she said her business has blossomed to include other health and wellness products like Himalayan Salt Lamps, incense and gem stones.

“Everything I sell, I use and I’m passionate about,” she said with a laugh.

“Which makes it easier to sell something that you know works and that you truly believe in.”

That passion for their product and enthusiastic energy, she says, is what Health and Wellness Expos are all about.

“Before the Health Fair starts, we have all the vendors come to the front where we do a meet and greet where we share who we are, what we do and why we do it,” she explained.

“We do, kind of a little meditation and a grounding session where we put out the good intentions to bring in the people that need to be there, help people find what they need to find and make sure everyone is ready to give what they have to give.”

The atmosphere, she said is always entirely positive.

“We encourage all our exhibitors to send customers or clients to other vendors at the Expo who we know may have other options that may be of benefit to them,” she added. “It’s a very high positive energy surrounding.”

Cosgrove said she was more than pleased to have Terrie Cop who will be

opening Terrie’s Bistro here in town at the end of next month supplying the food in the kitchen.

“The food was amazing, everything was homemade,” she said. “I really can’t say enough about the food, it was just so good.”

With about 75 people come through the doors over the two day event, Cosgrove donated $150 – the proceeds from the entry fee to the Redvers Arts Centre.

While she says she’s seen a spike in the interest of benefits of the many different modalities of alternative healing over the last few years, she’s hopeful to see more in the coming years.

“I really think that people are tired of prescriptions because for some people, those prescriptions are forever,” she said. “I think that people are now discovering that for some things – like heartburn or anxiety, there are a lot of alternative methods to help deal with those as a healthy options.”

“Not to say that doctors aren’t needed, they are very needed, but my hope for the future is that someday western medicine and alternative medicine will mesh together, for the patients. I see that’s starting but it’s not quite there yet.”

CAA’s Top Ten Tips on Winterizing Your Vehicle CAA Saskatchewan encourages motorists to prepare their vehicles for the expected winter snow and cold. The following top ten tips will help vehicles run more efficiently for enhanced driver security and safety.

1. Test your battery: Colder temperatures can weaken the battery and cause it to fail.

2. Test your block heater and cord: When the temperature falls below -15°C, it’s important to plug in.

3. Test your engine coolant: Your vehicle needs the correct amount and strength for optimal performance. Also check the oil and have it changed if needed. (Synthetic motor oil flows better at low temperatures; this will reduce engine wear and help your vehicle start easier.)

4. Check your cooling system: Ensure there are no cracks in the hoses, or coolant leaks. Also check the condition of the serpentine belt.

5. Check your tire pressure: The right pressure is important for traction and fuel efficiency. Consider installing winter tires which can improve cold-weather traction and stopping distance.

6. Check the ignition system: Replace spark plugs as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

7. Check brakes: Pulling, a soft pedal, or unusual squealing or grinding may mean repairs are needed.

8. Check the exhaust system: Leaks could send carbon monoxide into the vehicle.

9. Check your washer fluid: It should be rated in the -40°C temperature range.

10. Check vehicle owners’ manual: Adhere to the maintenance recommended by the manufacturer.

For vehicle winter inspection, visit the CAA Car Centre at Regina Battery Depot or any facility that is part of CAA’s Approved Auto Repair Services (AARS) network across the province.

For roadside assistance, CAA Members can call 1-800-222-4357 or request the service online at caask.ca and also through CAA’s mobile app. CAA Saskatchewan’s Road Service Express is an automated system that receives and dispatches emergency road service when calls are placed from Members at their home address. This service helps reduce long telephone waits for Members who live in the city, allowing call centre staff to respond to more complex calls. CAA Road Service Express is available in Regina, Saskatoon, Weyburn, North Battleford, Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, Yorkton, Saskatoon and Estevan. Calls from all other areas will continue as per regular process.

Parenting your 2-year-old RKF Parenting tips When children reach age two, it can be great fun for parents some of the time, and thoroughly frustrating at others.

Your child may show tremendous spontaneity, trying new things all on his own, being really cute as he pushes to be independent. But, this age can also be challenging, with tantrums and sudden, unexpected changes in emotions.

About this time, “NO!” is your child’s favourite answer. She needs help, but doesn’t want it. She feels small, but wants to be big. She can be clinging and afraid you will abandon her, and in the next moment she may want nothing to do with you.

Except for adolescence, this may be the most challenging time for parents. You may feel frustrated, and perhaps rejected, and it’s a real struggle to find the right balance in han-

GRANT TWEED

dling a child who seems to want to be independent, but still really needs you.

Routines may help in getting through the day, but try not to stick to them so closely that you and your child get into battles. Be as flexible as you can. Let your child feed himself. Give limited choices, such as “the red shirt or the green shirt?” If your child is in a very negative stage, it’s not a good time to try toilet training. Wait until they are older.

Remember, each child is unique. Not all children develop at the same rate. If you have

concerns about your child’s development,

you should consult your health care provider.

On October 20, 2016, the Esterhazy RCMP received a complaint of an attempted child luring in the town of Langenburg.

At approximately 4:30 p.m., four young children were walking to the local park and were approached by a lone male in a minivan.

The male is described as a medium build, late aged Caucasian with a clean face, wearing a red and black ball cap. He was driving a dirty red or burgundy minivan which had a small Canadian flag attached to its roof.

The flag is described as a suction type flag which was on the middle of the van just above the windshield. The male pulled up beside the children and attempted to order them to get in his vehicle. The children ran away from the unknown male.

The Esterhazy RCMP is seeking the public’s assistance in locating this subject. If anyone has any information pertaining to this vehicle or this subject please contact the Esterhazy RCMP at 306-745-4740 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
