Lightning strike set a garage on fire in Carlyle The latest storm resulted in a tragedy. Lightning struck a building located at Anderson Place in Carlyle at about 4:35 a.m. on Aug. 13 and set it on fire. The big detached garage and living quarters above it were completely destroyed by the fire. Fortunately, there were no injuries as a result. See next week’s edition of The Observer for more on the incident.

Cornerstone teams preparing for school year The operative word is still “fluid.”

But, at the same time, many elements attached to the re-opening of the schools in the South East Cornerstone Public School Division (SECPSD) indicate people will become more comfortable with the plans as they roll out implementation.

“Of course things will look a bit different, but within a week or two (of the school year opening) we believe staff and students will begin to become more comfortable with the situation,” said Lynn Little, director of education for the SECPSD during an interview.

It appears as if the

pervasive belief is that various team leaders will be able to be prepared to re-enter school facilities for face-to-face learning experiences with their teachers in the division’s 37 facilities. It’s something they haven’t experienced for the past five months.

If parents choose not to have their children be in a desk in the classrooms, there always is the division’s well recognized Cyber Stone virtual classrooms they can register in, or, participate in a homeschooling program with school division support. Cyber Stone has been expanded to include a full kindergarten to Grade 12 offering.

“If students or staff

wish to wear a mask, we are most supportive of that. We have ordered masks for some purposes such as for support for those who may develop symptoms while at school for both students and staff. We have masks and shields for staff providing personal care for students. If the Level 2 order comes down for masks for all students and staff, then options become mandates,” said Little.

In other words, things are still fluid on some topics regarding the re-start.

The province has ordered six million masks for overall provincial needs, if required, and Little said Cornerstone had ordered and received

some of their supply earlier, but added they are well aware of an all-inclusive masking plan that could be evolving as more information is released on a nearly daily basis.

Cyber learning is being handled in a fashion that has become familiar with both staff members and students.

A total of 4.5 fulltime equivalent teaching positions have been added to the Cornerstone roster of about 550 educators. They were needed to help meet the growth in Cyber Stone as elementary grades are now being offered online as well as junior high and high school classes. Registration forms are available on the system website for

Cyber Stone School.

If parents choose to have their children continue enrollment in the physical school they were previously attending, there is no need to reregister.

So far, all staff members under contract will be physically available for the start of the new school year on Sept. 1.

“Staff seem to be on board, but certainly there is some apprehension, to return to the physical setting. Implementing the plan designed to increase safety by minimizing contacts, building stable cohorts and limiting movement will take a bit to get accustomed. We anticipate becoming more comfortable with our new

normal once we get used to it,” said Little.

Little added the provincial leaders understand they are dependent on the division administrators knowing their school facilities and personnel. They know the sizes, structures and population at each school and what grades are taught in each building.

“If they (students and staff) can stay within their cohorts, things should go well. In larger schools with the structure of time tables and more student and teacher movements, the move to cohorts will be significantly more challenging and a different way of doing business. In elementary A2 » NEW

New school rules aimed at eliminating possible exposures to COVID « A1 schools, and schools with a smaller student population, it will be less of a change, but still, there will be new challenges to keep students in specific groups and the early learners working with grouped materials,” she said.

Little admitted that when school systems shut down quickly with the assured arrival of the COVID-19 virus in midMarch, teachers and students were still able to

interact and they enjoyed the advantage of knowing one another and what the expectations would be for online/distance learning.

But now, a new school year is going to start and without face-to-face introductions, it would have been more difficult for teachers and students to introduce themselves to one another for the first time and become comfortable with the individual personalities.

That is best done in the

social setting of a school classroom.

Plans are being formulated to assist students requiring learning supports and for early learning intervention exercises that will be deployed to ensure success for each and every student.

Little said plans for custodial and maintenance staffs are rolling out with regards to cleaning high touch areas and the facilities team along ������ � �� ������ � �

with human resources are mapping and finalizing plans to deal with cleaning rooms between classes, washrooms and additional sanitization processes.

Of course, this will require money, but there were some savings involved with the early closure of schools in the spring, so that money will now be spent in meeting new expectations.

On the transportation side, Little said communications are going out to rural families, asking them if, in some

instances, the children can be driven to school by family. If not, buses are still operating as usual, but with strict seat assignments, with family members seated together as physical distancing will be encouraged. The buses will be loaded using a back to front system to reduce exposure. Bus riding within the more urban areas will be reduced as well with a new one kilometre directive being issued.

In other words, if the student’s residence is located within one kilome-

tre of the school they attend, they will be asked to walk, bike or be driven by family or through some other arrangement. Bus service will be limited to those who reside more than one kilometre from their school. Attendance on buses will be taken in the event contact tracing is required.

Other new rules or guidelines are being built to accommodate laboratory experiences, physical education, team participation, vocational learning areas, play areas and other spaces.

Tourist of the week Kelly Johnson of the Carlyle Observer Visiting the beautiful Moose Mountains from Grenfell was Robyn Krausher, who made the short trip to Kenosee Lake to camp at Fish Creek in Moose Mountain Provincial Park [MMPP].

It is a favoured destination for her and friends because of its close proximity to home, so when the weather says beach, it is just out the door and you are soaking up the sun.

Krausher visits the park every summer, usually coming with family and friends, This trip she has been tenting for a few days and spending her time golfing, hiking and swimming, and enjoying the floatie which is always a must have for each trip.

The Main Beach is the preferred spot for her time at Kenosee during most trips and she also had plans to spend a day at the Kenosee Superslides.

Krausher also ventures to the beach at Crooked Lake; which is another favoured place to enjoy a hot sunny beach day, being that it is only a short drive from home as well.

After a day at the beach she enjoys making a campfire, socializing, telling stories, and enjoying a few refreshNOW INL! DIGITA

Heavy rain and damaging storms pass through the area Kelly Johnson of the Carlyle Observer Severe weather passed through the Moose Mountain area on Aug. 4, dumping more than 65 millimetres of rain on the town of Carlyle in under 90 minutes.

Residents experienced ankle deep water flowing in the streets until the storm drains

were able to catch up.

The deluge provided good moisture for people’s gardens for the rest of the growing season, as the area had been experiencing hot temperatures the last several days.

There were some patches of hail but little visible crop damage as this should be enough moisture to complete the maturation of the

area crops as they fill out. Tuesday’s playoff game in the Saskota Baseball League between the Carlyle Cardinals and visiting Kipling Royals was postponed and rescheduled for the following day due to the inclement weather.

Again on Aug. 7, severe weather pushed through the Moose Mountains, dumping 50 millimetres in Stough-

Arcola woman cycling to support kids with cancer

An Arcola woman has enjoyed excellent support as she continues to try to help children.

Kari Blatchford is participating in the Great Cycling Challenge to support the SickKids Foundation, which assists children fighting cancer. She was able to pick her goal of how much she wants to raise, and how many kilometres she wants to cycle. Blatchford has gone with 500 kilometres and $500.

Not only has she eclipsed her fundraising goal, she had raised

ton and 45 millimetres at Kenosee Lake.

A later storm in Manitoba resulted in a killer tornado touching down, picking up a vehicle and sending it airborne into a farmer’s field.

Two 18-year-olds from Melita were killed in the incident. The tornado also caused injury to an occupant in another vehicle.

Carlyle RCMP investigating a theft from construction site A loader battery and diesel fuel were stolen from a construction site in a remote area in the RM of Pheasant Rump First Nation on Aug. 10.

The information came through the RCMP Saskatchewan Crime Watch network.

$1,175 as of Wednesday morning.

There is a history of cancer in her family, so that is why she wanted to raise funds for kids with cancer.

“Right now, over 1,400 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it’s the biggest killer of children from the disease in Canada,” she said for her profile on the Great Cycling Challenge page.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

Blatchford loves to cycle and this challenge

helps motivate her to do more. Last year she had a bike for the first time, and she did 200 kilometres.

The Great Cycle Challenge started in 2016, and after just four years, the event has grown to become one of the biggest cycling events across Canada.

People of all ages, abilities and from every province across the country set themselves a personal riding goal and challenge themselves to pedal throughout August to fight childhood cancer.

The skies opened up on Aug. 2, providing a temporary waterway in West Park for Simon Wolfe to hone his kayaking skills in view of the Moose Mountain Care Lodge.

Police were advised that a loader was left on a construction site at 5 p.m. on Aug. 7. Upon return to the site on Aug. 10th at approximately 8 a.m. the employees became aware of the theft.

Carlyle RCMP are asking for the public to be aware

of this incident, and if they have any information to contact Carlyle RCMP Detachment.

If you have information related to the incident, please call 310-RCMP for an immediate response, or you can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).

Quote of the Week...

“No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other’s worth.”

- Robert Southey

“Near normal” schools a strange approach

By Murray Mandryk The Saskatchewan Party government has been telling us for months now that COVID-19 means a new normal for all of us.

But that new normal surely isn’t being applied to the re-opening of schools in this province in three weeks.

Here, Education Minister Gord Wyant and chief medical health officer Saqib Shahab are now talking about things being “near normal.”

When Saskatchewan’s 27 school divisions re-open their classrooms around Sept. 1, the government insists that things should simply be pretty much as they were when schools shutdown in mid-March.

Sure, there will be a few adjustments, as outlined last week in its Safe School Plan.

Kids will now be assigned seats on buses (preferably, sitting with family members if that is the reality) and buses will need to be cleaned more frequently.

Where possible, the government is encouraging parents to drive their kids to school and avoid buses altogether.

Teachers will be asked to move between classrooms where practical (this likely won’t be the case in larger high schools where kids in home rooms quickly spread out to different classes) to reduce hallway traffic and the chances of spreading the novel coronavirus.

There will be dedicated entrances and exits doors and directional flow signs kids will be expected to follow. (Good luck with that.)

There will be staggered recesses and lunches, increased sanitation of toys and classroom equipment (although no additional money for hiring cleaning staff).

It calls for limited physical contact hugs and handholding (again, “wherever possible”), protocols for backpacks and reconfigurations of existing classrooms (as best as teachers can) “to minimize contact.”

But already overcrowded classrooms won’t have classroom size limits. And while Alberta, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia are now calling for kids in schools to wear masks, no such requirements will be enforced here.

Mask use will be implemented if the government and Shahab feel the need to move to further more restrictive stages.

But that approach, too, flies in the face of how government did gradually re-open the economy by loosening restrictions in five progressive stages.

When it comes to schools there are four stages, but we begin with near normal and will only go backwards if it’s deemed necessary to do so.

Wyant said last week that his government has purchased six million masks for school use in case we have to do just that. And the announcement suggested families to have a couple washable masks per child, but they won’t – at least initially – be required.

If we are in this COVID-19 fight for many more months as the government suggests, wouldn’t school be one place where we could teach kids about proper mask use and getting them used to the idea?

The government’s approach is not sitting well with many teachers, parents and others who see this strategy as one that risks both children and community safety and hard-won progress we’ve all made in the COVID-19 fight.

And it certainly hasn’t sat well with the NDP opposition.

“There is a massive gap between what they are telling us needs to happen and what we see today from this Sask. Party government,” said NDP education critic Carla Beck. “What Gord Wyant has produced is not a plan for schools, it’s a plan to fail the test of protecting students, families and education professionals.”

It is rather strange that after having months to prepare special plans to ensure that kids are safe, the Saskatchewan government plan doesn’t go much beyond advising parents to keep sick kids home and doing what very much seems to be the basics.

One gets the government wanting to ensure the learning environment be as normal as possible.

But with recent record numbers of active cases, it does seem the back-to-school plan is taking some big chances.

It’s all in the keys

Shelley Luedtke I came across the artI can’t say for sure what my earliest memory might be, but I can certainly remember one of the most vivid — it was the day a piano was delivered to our house.

I was four years old and it was an incredible moment. My baby sister was born that same year and although I have a memory of visiting the hospital I can’t say the same of the day my parents brought her home. But oh how I remember the arrival of the piano.

I loved that piano (I loved my sister too, don’t get me wrong) but the piano was the most amazing thing in the world to me. I would pull the bench up as close as I could and just play and play,

simply making it up as I went along. Soon I began piano lessons and the world of those black and white keys began to find some order.

I wasn’t a great student. I loved to play but I did not like the technical work at all — especially scales. Alas, they’re kind of important.

While my family was living in Swift Current, I began participating in music festivals. You want to see a dedicated parent? Take a look at those sitting for hours at a festival to listen to their child play for two minutes and spend the rest of the morning waiting for an adjudication.

I won’t soon forget competing in a sonatina class in which there were 17 students all playing the same sonatina. The same song, over and over and over again, all sounding pretty much the same. Finally, the last performer played. We thought the agony was over until we heard the adjudicator’s voice from the back of the room asking three of the students to play the piece again.

To this day when I hear Sonatina in G Major by Beethoven, I feel a cold sweat threatening to take over my body.

I still love the piano. Learning to play has given me amazing opportunities and actually is kind of responsible for the life I have had since I was introduced to my future husband because I played the piano. A story for another time.

There’s a lot that can be gleaned from thinking about a piano.

First, some scales can be avoided. No, not the musical kind, but the bathroom kind. Don’t get hung up on the numbers. Focus on being healthy and happy, and shut out the noise telling you that you don’t look the way you should.

Secondly, keep doing what you are doing because you never know when you will strike a chord with someone.

The greatest masterpieces, discoveries and achievements didn’t happen on the first attempt. It may take time, perseverance and the rejection of many different people before the

right individual or colleague hears your idea and helps you run with it.

Finally, not only are mistakes inevitable, they are valuable. Everyone, from beginner students to concert pianists, make mistakes as they rehearse and perform. But the mistakes teach us the lessons needed to keep going and finish strong. We don’t need to be flawless, but we need to be faithful to our calling, whatever that may be.

Whether we describe ourselves as musical or not, we can take what we know about pianos and put it to work in our lives. Whether it’s major or minor events, and whether or not we are finding our rhythms on any given day, what matters is that we keep the music going. There may be 17 or more people seemingly doing the same thing we are doing but no two are doing it quite alike.

The key is to take each stanza and refine, revise and rework it so that it reflects who we really are and beautifully shapes the song of our life. That’s my outlook.

Golfer of the Week enjoyed challenging the Bear Kelly Johnson of the Carlyle Observer

school championships and finished as high as third in the city.

Ryan is now a member at Deer Valley Golf Club and plays three to four times a week. His best round ever was a bogey-free 66 at Deer Valley, which he shot that day while enjoying the company of former Canadian junior curling champion and four-time Brier competitor Braeden Moskowy in his foursome.

Ryan has enjoyed not one, but three holes in one since he began playing the game, two of them coming at the Murray Golf Course in Regina on par-3 holes 4 and 10, and the other at his home course Deer Valley on the par

Brent Ryan, our Golfer of the Week, is from Regina.

He was introduced to the game at four years of age on a family vacation at Clear Lake in Manitoba, and has enjoyed holding onto a club ever since.

Ryan’s family lived in northwest Regina, located within walking distance of the Joanne Goulet Course, and he chose it as the course to play while growing up.

Ryan participated in many junior golf events in Regina, beginning at the age of 12. As a member of the Riffel High School golf team, he attended several city high

Ryan has golfed most of the courses in and around Regina, but his favourite golf trip is to White Bear Lake, where his grandparents used to own a cabin at Sandy Beach on the lakeshore.

Ryan uses TaylorMade drivers and irons, Titleist Vokey wedges, and an 18-year-old Titleist hybrid.

He uses a TaylorMade putter and chooses the Pro V ball also made by Titleist.

Ryan has played Copper Point and Grey Wolfe in British Columbia and a few courses in the Phoenix area.

His favourite hole is at Grey Wolfe, called the Cliffhanger, which is a 200-yard par 3.

His favourite hole at his home

course is the par 3 No. 2.

Ryan has attended the PGA Championship as a spectator twice at Whistling Straits Golf Course in Kohler, Wisc. Next year the Ryder Cup will be held there and he hopes to play a round on it during the trip; it is the course he would most like to play, providing the restrictions are lifted that have been placed on travel due to the pandemic.

Alida residents have several reasons to celebrate Submitted by Edel Cowan Proud grandparents Norman and Dorothy Desautels were pleased to welcome their newest granddaughter, Ivy Elizabeth, who was born April 13, 2020. She is the daughter of Karlin and Brittany Desautels of Souris, Man. Congratulations everyone.

On July 27, the residence belonging to Justin and Kara McNish was moved off of their town lot and relocated to their acreage west of Alida.

Good luck folks on your new location and hopefully you enjoy country living. Glad that you are still in our area and that we’ll still be seeing you around and about.

Visiting with Faye Walker during the long weekend and for a few extra days at her cabin at Kenosee Lake were her family – daughter Deidra, Jeff Nickel and granddaughters Olivia, Abby, Claire and Piper (all from Saskatoon).

Congratulations to Justin and Kara McNish on the safe arrival of their son Liam Russell on

July 28. Proud first-time grandparents are Tim and Trudy Boettcher and great grandparents are Jim and Mary Boettcher and Beatrice Annetts. Congratulations to you all.

Gail McLachlin had her granddaughter Thia McKenna of Calgary holidaying a few days last week. While here she really enjoyed the swimming pool. On June 9 they travelled to Cabri where they visited with Gail’s parents Ken and June McLachlin and met up with Thia’s mother Grace.

Spending the past week at the farm and at the dam with her grandparents Prudent and Joey Mailhiot was Tatym Mailhiot from Medicine Hat, Alta. Also spending holiday time with the Mailhiots at their camper were Joey’s sister Lois Stokke, Ken Mair from Kronau and their granddaughter Katelyn (from Regina).

I received a text message inquiring about Alida Bingo (which was held every Monday night). I decided that I had best check with the Alida Bingo committee to see if they had made any fu-

ture decisions concerning bingo. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic bingo had been cancelled and will not be held at the Alida Hall for the time being. Bingo may start up again later this fall – so please keep watch for future updates.

Noticed a few combines in the area that were operated in the field this past week, do believe the farmers were combining peas. The harvest season is now upon us, so please be careful out there in the field running those big machines and hauling the grain.

Please folks keep me posted whenever you have news – simply contact me anytime on the happenings that are going on in and around Alida as well as within your family circle, either call me at 306-443-2496 or text at 306-485-8561, or e-mail g.cowan@ sasktel.net. I will see that your news gets into a paper. I do appreciate all your input as it does help keep this column interesting.

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

Peace found in the midst of pain I spent another few but painful hours in hospital last week. It turned out to be relatively easy to deal with this time and a shot of morphine helped dull the agony.

But these episodes, as unpleasant as they are, always provide me with cause for great gratitude. That gratitude is in response to the excellent care I receive in our local hospital and even more, for the wonderful offers of help and encouragement that I receive from friends and neighbours.

Be assured, then, this is not about whining but rather about praising God for peace.

Peace in the midst of pain.

Looking around me, both close to home and around the world, I am convinced that the current pandemic is second only to universal pain of every kind. We all know folks who suffer great distress of all kinds: mental, spiritual, emotional, physical and who knows what else. But unlike the pandemic for which there’s not yet a proven antidote, we can find relief from these other sources of pain.

What am I talking about?

I’m referring to how Jesus suffered with such intensity that CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Heavy Duty Mechanics, Heavy Equipment Operators and 1A Drivers required:

it caused him to shed tears of blood even before experiencing the agony of Calvary. Because of His pain on our behalf, we have access to heaven’s healing.

While meditating on this truth, in between all that was going on, I found myself praising God for peace. I knew he was with me and even more, Linda Wegner when life finally does end here Words of on earth, I will be with him Worth forever and ever.

Carlyle Fun Dayz rebooks for 2021 Kelly Johnson of the Carlyle Observer Carlyle Fun Dayz been a very popular summer weekend in Carlyle the last few years and will leave a bit of a void for those who marked it on their calendars for Aug. 15.

The event, which offers something for people of all ages, was cancelled earlier this year when the organizing committee made the decision that there were

too many restrictions they would need to address to plan a safe event for all attending.

The community extravaganza has generated large crowds and is primarily organized to entertain, drawing from area communities in southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba. With the close vicinity to the popular resorts in the nearby Moose Mountain Provincial Park, it has attracted people from places everywhere

including the East and West Coasts of Canada, points in the U.S. and even people who were visiting from Europe.

The event was to celebrate its fifth anniversary this August and will reschedule to Aug. 21, 2021, and will celebrate its fifth edition then, as had been planned. Mark that date on your calendars, with the extra time to plan it will be a must attend that will be sure to erase the memory of 2020.

Lane. It lists all of the former members and really adds to the already decorative area. It brings back many memories when reading the names from April 5th, 1965 to the present. Ken Myers and Shaun Galger were instrumental in its creation.

In late July, the Brandon Sun did a write up about sports legends entitled Where are they Now? In that issue they featured Wawota's own Kelly Greenbank. It was an interesting article and followed his career from Wawota to all of the other teams he played on and then his move to Austria.

It was a busy life for them all and I am sure they have many fond memories. I have memories of a happy and friendly little boy in Grade 3 when I taught school in Kelso in the early 1960s!

We were hoping for a visit from our son, Craig and Nicole and

Mike this summer but due to the virus, this won't be happening.

We are comforted to know they are reasonably safe in Taiwan.

Taiwan has dealt with COVID-19 very well.

With a population of 23 million they have had only 480 cases and 7 deaths.

Keith and I celebrated our 56th wedding anniversary on Aug. 8. It was the eighth day of the eighth month, equalling the date of the year 1964. (Actually called a square day). Nature honoured us with what appeared to be two moons in the sky...actually one was the planet Mars.

Wawota greeted visitors and celebrated anniversaries Submitted by Myrna Olson Colleen Form, Ashton and Jesse from Paradise Hill visited with family in Moosomin and Wawota recently.

Ashton, who graduated from Grade 12 this year, had pictures taken with several family members. They visited with Christa and Trevor Pryce, Sydney, Harper and Ethan, and grandpa Norman Myers.

Patricia Freeman of Brantford, Ont. visited with her mother, Evelyn Green and brother Michael. She stayed for a couple of weeks before returning home.

Congratulations to Wade and Leanne Porter who celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary on Aug. 29th.

They celebrated with a small group of family and friends.

von, Danny Frazer and others. By then the construction site had been cleared, probably in the spring of 1990, when the signboard was planned.

The linden tree now shades half the courtyard.

Ten years later, when Ferne Hutton and Jean Walker lived here, they proudly showed off the newly bricked walk, which now surrounds the center flowerbed, and provides quick access for the staff in emergencies.

The daily visitor lists are being filed for future reference in case of COVID tracing. Only the list for Aug. 2 was available.

Larry Matheson visited Irene Husband. Richard Ketcheson and Lynne Jacobson visited our latest guest, Betty Walker.

To All Community Organizations: The Saskatchewan Lotteries Community Grant Program is again available to community organizations.

The purpose of the program is to provide funds to volunteer organizations that provide programs and services in sport, culture and recreation.

Saskota Baseball League teams advance son in the final game of the regular season.

Kenosee hosted the Oxbow Chiefs, opening their series on Aug. 4, but were not up to the task, unable to shake Oxbow’s starter Cory Purves in the opener, losing 7-3.

The Cubs then had to travel to Oxbow on Aug. 6 and win in Bow Valley Park to keep their season alive. They threw Thomas Husband on the mound against the Chiefs Brandon Pauchard who gave the Cubs little they could get their bats on. Oxbow took advantage of a Tom Frasz RBI double to open the tap in the first.

A three-RBI performance by Brody Nordin and a solo home run by James Cameron made for a 17 -2 drenching of the Cubs for the series sweep, sending the visitors home to dust off the golf clubs.

The Saskota Baseball League playoffs saw four teams move on to the next round, the Estevan Wolves, Carlyle Cardinals, Carnduff Astros and Oxbow Chiefs were all able to sweep their opponents, with the No. 6 Chiefs pulling the only upset over the third-seeded Cubs.

The Cardinals, who had to reschedule their Aug. 4 game to the following day, rode the arm of Kody Rock’s complete game performance and good team defence to a 3-1 win in Game 1, and then won 9-2 in Kipling with Danny Rasmussen going the distance against Burke Lyons in the Aug. 6 matchup.

The Kenosee Cubs grabbed third spot when they ruined the Estevan Wolves undefeated sea-

Road repairs around the area

The Oxbow Chiefs celebrate after their victory over the Kenosee Cubs in Oxbow.

The Carnduff Astros, the reigning league champions, proved that they were ready to for another deep playoff run knocking off a tough Redvers A’s team, who lost the opener in Carnduff 9-6. The A’s delayed the Astros sweep, holding onto a 1-1 tie in the Aug. 6 game in Redvers that was suspended on account of darkness after nine innings. The game resumed Aug. 7 in Redvers.

The Astros overcame their road legs,

making their second road trip in two nights, winning the league’s longest game of the year 3-2 after 11 innings.

They will travel to Carlyle for the next round, taking on the Cardinals, who shut the Astros out in Carnduff in their only meeting earlier in the season.

The first place Estevan Wolves knocked out the cross-town rival Southeast Fireballs in two straight and will face the Chiefs in the other semifinal.

The Town of Carlyle had a paving crew in doing asphalt repairs on the town’s streets, and the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure was also out smoothing the ride on the local highways, making necessary repairs in the last couple of weeks.

HOROSCOPES ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

A business associate or romantic partner may make a play for more power this week, Aries. Instead of playing defense, see what happens if you cede some control.

While it may seem like you can mix business and pleasure Leo, there are some complications that you may not anticipate.

It’s better if you keep things separate.

Sagittarius, this week loved ones may want to make a big deal about something you are doing. But you’re not willing to join the drama parade. Stick to your convictions.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

No matter how tempting the opportunity, do not mix friendship with finances, Taurus. This goes both ways, whether you are asking to borrow money or doing the lending.

Virgo, no matter what you do this week there will be challenges. Embrace any hurdles you need to clear en route to getting the job done well.

Capricorn, neglecting your work can have far-reaching consequences. So buckle down even though the last thing you want right now is responsibility.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Pressure at work could be mounting and leaving you feeling awfully stressed, Gemini. Now might be the time to take a brief step back and enjoy the respite.

If you do not make a big deal of a difference of opinion then you can work easily with a person whose perspectives differ from your own, Libra. Learn to cooperate.

Keep a close eye on the things that you value the most, Aquarius. Keep these things close to your mind and heart and do your best to avoid taking them for granted.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

Cancer, you may be inspired to fight the system this week.

Be sure you have done all your research before diving in full force. Patience is a virtue, after all.

Someone’s extreme emotions can turn your weekly schedule on its head, Scorpio. As you help this person through a tough time, keep a cool head and listen.

Pisces, you may have a lot of pent up energy his week.

Find some creative ways to spend your time, make new friends and expend your energy.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21
