Arcola resident’s film will be screened at the prestigious Edinburgh Short Film Festival By Ana Bykhovskaia Every artist involved with the film industry knows how important it is to have your film screened, but having it screened at a recognized and prestigious film festival means even more. The talented Emily Ellis is an Arcola resident who is currently working on her master of arts degree from Glasgow University who pulled that lucky ticket with one of her school projects – a short film named Lemon. “Big news! Lemon made it into the Edinburgh Short Film Festival,” Ellis wrote on her social network page a few days ago. “Thank you for all of your love and care and support for me all of the time.” Ellis said she always was really happy when any of her works were being screened, and the
attention to Lemon, a film she made along with three other people in a matter of 14 hours, is exciting. “Lemon is a creative idea, (it's) a sacred object. A lot of people are afraid of making things because they have that one good idea and they are scared of acting on it, because they are not going to do it justice, or they are scared of making it multiple times and getting called a cookie cutter artist,” said Ellis. “So (Lemon) is about ideas (being) fleeting, art (being) fleeting, none of it really matters that much anyway, so just go for it, make it as many times as you want to, find something else. There is always another idea, so just go for it.” Ellis said she is interested in taking real ideas that are hard to articulate and hard to talk about
Emily Ellis, Holly G., Joshua Cathcart and Bianca Galeana. Photo submitted
and slipping them into “these surreal, absurdist comedies.” Lemon was created when Ellis was “spinning her wheels” on the dissertation. There were a few techniques that she wanted to try out, so she called her friends over to join her on that project. She drafted the script for Lemon during one of the lectures just on the margins of her notebook, and the final copy wasn’t that much different. She believes that Lemon won’t win any awards, but even having it screened during the festival is great. Prior to the success of Lemon, Ellis already wasn’t new to having her art recognized. Her passion for film making started when Ellis and her little sister were kids. They would shoot short films or videos and show them to friends and family. Ellis put the hobby on pause when she turned 18 and didn’t come back to it until she was in her third year at Acadia University in Nova Scotia. Her scope and approach to filmmaking changed at that time. “I really like personifying objects. I like making films in a way that it kind of suspends viewers’ disbelief a little bit. By doing that you prevent them from putting up the same
barriers to their own person that they would have going into a live-action film,” explained Ellis. “When you personify objects, you just create that suspended space there is no opportunity to put these barriers up and you can get to people that way.” When her roommate suggested making a film for the Al Whittle Theatre's Smartphone Film Festival, Ellis saw it as a great opportunity to have her art screened. “So in just 12 hours on a Saturday, just with my phone I ended up making a film Soap,” recalled Ellis. “It’s just a bar of soap, but a lot of people have talked to me and they were like, ‘That’s me. That life, that’s me.’ And it’s just a bar of soap.” Soap ended up winning the first place at that film festival in Wolfville, N.S. “People there suggested that I enter it into a different festival in Halifax, so I did.” Ellis hit the early bird registration deadline and paid only a $20 fee which along with $4 spent on a bar of soap to make the film, was a pretty permissive budget. That experience helped Ellis understand how much she actually enjoyed making films, and she switched her professional focus. Her friend was plan-
Filmmaker Emily Ellis will have her film Lemon screened at a festival in Edinburg this fall. Photo submitted ning to go to a university abroad and Ellis decided to try it out as well. She found the perfect program at the University of Glasgow. “It’s kind of split. It’s an academic program and a practical arts course, film making and media arts. I thought it was the coolest thing,” said Ellis. She added that on the one hand, she wanted to become a strong professional in filmmaking, but on the other hand, she didn’t want to shut doors for the academia world and a potential PhD one day. She is currently finishing her MA degree and plans to submit her dissertation in about a month. She is also currently talking to some musi-

cians about joint mixed art projects and is also working on other ideas, but at this time films remain Ellis’s hobby. “I’d like to have an independent studio at some point (to develop) that way in a professional capacity, but for now it’s just me doing whatever I want.” Lemon was one of the projects Ellis made while studying in Glasgow. It is planned to be screened during the Edinburg Short Film Festival in October or November, but Ellis said that with the pandemic, until likely the last moment, neither the organizers nor the participants will know for sure how everything will go. Films by Ellis can be found at Emily Ellis’ YouTube channel.

Tourist of the Week keeps coming back for camping By Kelly Johnson of the Carlyle Observer Jessica Payette has been camping with her husband Dan and her two children Sebatian and Bianca at a campsite in the Moose Mountain
Provincial Park [MMPP]. The site they have backs onto Little Kenosee Lake, giving them a great view and it is what makes the Fish Creek Campground the favoured spot for them to camp. The family from
Weyburn has been coming to MMPP to camp for several years, spending as much time as possible at Fish Creek. This trip they have planned to stay till the end of September. They enjoy the close proximity to the water
the campsite provides and enjoy that they can walk to the water’s edge and access it to swim and enjoy the sounds of the outdoors. Payette is very excited to camp for the month of September when the campground is very tranquil and she can really enjoy the peace and quiet of the surrounding natural forest setting, as well as the cooler temperatures, which makes the campfire even more enjoyable for warming up. The Payette’s camp for the outdoor experience and enjoy spending time biking, fishing, collecting rocks and bird watching. This year their site has a pileated woodpecker who shows up around the campsite on its daily travels. The Payettes had always pitched a tent when camping in the past; last year they purchased a camper to compliment the tent that they still
set up, making it easier to rough it on lengthy camping trips. They visited several campgrounds within a couple of hours of Weyburn after acquiring the camper, and decidedly chose Fish Creek as their ideal holiday spot to camp. The Payettes have enjoyed camping at Echo Provincial Park, Crooked Lake and Jean Louis Legare Regional Park near Willow Bunch. When camping the Payette’s enjoy seeing local places of interest venturing to the Alameda Dam and Cannington Manor, and stopping in the area communities to check out the local stores. They very much enjoy making a campfire each evening, cooking over the open fire or on the barbeque. This trip they have been cheffing up button bones, lamb leg, steaks and sausages they purchased on a visit to the meat department at Food World in Carlyle,
giving it an excellent review for camping provisions. Payette thinks that Saskatchewan is the perfect place for camping with its diversity in nature, from the Canadian Shield in the north of the province to the scenic valleys in the south. Payette recommends that those looking for a great camping trip and beautiful scenery to visit Otter Rapids that are about an hour north of La Ronge near Missinipe on the Churchill River system. The Payettes are happiest camping around Saskatchewan; they are planning someday to visit Cypress Hills in southwest Saskatchewan, which is home to Saskatchewan’s highest elevation. They also would enjoy a trip in the Canadian Rockies to check out the many scenic spots there, noting it is way easier to pull a camper on the flatlands of Saskatchewan.

Observer summer photo contest winner announced David Homer is the winner of the Observer’s Summer Photo Contest for 2020. Homer captured a fantastic photo of a friend fishing on a dock at Kenosee earlier this summer. He won a $50 gift certificate to King’s Department Store for his efforts. The Observer would like to thank everyone who entered this year’s Summer Photo Contest; the process of selecting a winner was certainly not easy.
Retail cannabis store opening soon in Carlyle By Kelly Johnson of the Carlyle Observer Shane and Ashley Valentine are the owners of a new cannabis retail outlet that will sell recreational cannabis and its products, having received approval to open the store in Carlyle. The application was made to the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority [SLGA] in February and the approval was granted at the end of July. The licensing process included background and criminal record checks for each of the owners in order to be approved to operate a retail cannabis location, a process similar to what a retail liquor outlet would experience. The Valentines are hoping to be open for the Labour Day long weekend, depending on final inspections that have been taking place this week by SLGA.
The retail outlet, which will be called Moonlit Cannabis Inc., will be located at 105 Cornerstone Plaza, Turrif Avenue, is ideally located between the Dairy Queen and Carlyle Convenience Store, adjacent to Highways 9 and 13. The store will have a stock consisting of products with THC and CBD; each of the active ingredients can be purchased in the product separately or in a product offering both substances. The cannabis plant that produces the active ingredients in the recreational product are indica and sativa, both of which have many different varieties, producing different levels of THC and CBD. Hemp, which is an industrial variety of the sativa plant, is grown for its fibres and oil and is used to make clothing, plastic products paper products and many other consumer
products. The product line will include flower [bud], oil, gel caps, chocolates, drinks and edibles, mainly any product that is allowable to be sold under the SLGA provincial legislation. The inventory is available for recreational use only. The store cannot offer for sale medicinal cannabis; those products have to be purchased from a dispensary properly licensed to distribute the medicinal product. The store will offer a selection of products that will be competitively priced to what you would find at other cannabis retail outlets, and will be determined in accordance to regulatory guidelines and inventory availability. The store will be able to choose its stock from several SLGA approved wholesalers and plans to provide all the necessary products needed to enjoy
cannabis products. It will take online orders and at present will provide local delivery and take out, and also delivery by 4:20 p.m. the next day to communities in the surrounding area on text or phone in orders. In the future the store will be set up to take online orders as well. The store will be open to walk in customers and will be cash only till they have Interac payment set up, which should be shortly. The business will provide three or four parttime and full-time jobs to the community and will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays. Legal age to purchase recreational cannabis and its products is 19 years of age and more information on allowable quantities can be found on the Government of Saskatchewan website.

Quote of the Week... “Adventure is not outside man; it is within.” - George Eliot
O’Toole may be taking the better approach By Murray Mandryk
They say religion and politics don’t mix, but nobody really ever explains why. It’s really because there isn’t much compromise in our religious views, which is perfectly fine. Politics, however, is all about compromise, not only just a need to compromise religious beliefs, but also a need to make concessions on a whole variety of views to fit the needs of a society that encompasses a lot of different views. It’s early in the tenure of new Conservative Party of Canada leader Erin O’Toole, but it does seem he may be getting this concept in a way that Andrew Scheer perhaps didn’t. In a free democracy, we are all entitled to our private religious beliefs. Frankly, we are all still entitled to our private beliefs on most anything. It’s only when individuals spout their private views on personal matters – often, for the explicit purposes of converting others that they should share that view – that such views become a problem. And they especially become a problem for politicians who either promote specific views because they sincerely believe them or because they see some political advantage in promoting them. This has become a significant problem for the Conservative Party, a problem that O’Toole needs to address. Since the demise of the old Progressive Conservative Party that re-emerged without the progressive aspect in their title, some have questioned whether they can form a national government. Well, clearly they can, as we have seen the past couple decades. Stephen Harper, who will be seen as the father of the modern-day Conservative Party, certainly held many social conservative views. But that didn’t prohibit him from leading the then very new party to 10 years in power (albeit, only one of his four elections produced a majority government). For Harper and his era Conservatives, it was a matter of refocusing on other things like the economy. It was also a matter of being able to address social issues when they come up, as Harper clearly did when he issued an apology to First Nations and Metis survivors of residential schools. That the CPC, itself, would force Scheer to resign after just one election in which he forced the Justin Trudeau Liberals into minority government territory and secured the most votes was an admission of something that wasn’t right. For whatever qualities Scheer demonstrated as a family man who was personally likable, there was uneasiness, both inside and outside the party that he could not be seen to separate his personal beliefs from party policy. Whatever Harper’s personal views were on social issues, he defined himself as a fiscal conservative who would not change laws on issues involving things like women’s reproductive choice or protection of those in the LBGTQ community. (And make no mistake that there was considerable pressure on those inside and outside the caucus to do so.) Scheer struggled in these areas. Coupled with the fact that many Canadians were looking for a leader with serious environmental policies, Scheer faced an erosion of trust. O’Toole seems to determined not to make the same mistake and is perhaps better positioned to not repeat errors. For starters, his voting record as an MP and minister in Harper’s government was one of prochoice and supportive of LBGTQ issues. In other words, he did not come to the helm of the Conservative party beholding to the social conservatives, although it was evident social conservatives were more comfortable with them than they were with rival Peter MacKay. O’Toole has also sent out strong early signals his priorities will be Western alienation and support of the oil, gas and agriculture sectors. This is critical not just for the CPC but also for the good of the country as a whole. In his early days, O’Toole is demonstrating he gets it.
When the doors swing open
Shelley Luedtke I loved the first day of school. Absolutely loved it. Twelve years of elementary/high school, four years of university, and then 20 years working in a high school setting. That’s a lot of first days. I loved them all. Except one. I was living in a city of about 15,000 when I began Grade 8 and that meant a move into a junior high school. It was intimidating. The building was big, loud and unnerving, and with five different classrooms of Grade 8 students, we seemed to be so far removed from any of our friends. The excitement of new classrooms, new teachers and new lockers was lost for me in the midst of the anxiousness and unease. I knew I would be in that school for just a short time—
about six weeks—because my family was moving to a new community. I wasn’t quite sure what to feel: relief over knowing I could leave this intimidating place, or more unease knowing I was going to have to go through another first day in a brand new place. Significant numbers of students find the first day of school to be a daunting experience, noting particular concern over fashion, fitting in and bullying. School divisions, mental health professionals and government agencies have vast resources to help families deal with the stress that going to school can bring into the lives of our young people. But it isn’t just children feeling this stress. Adults have been re-entering a world that looks and feels somewhat different than it did a few months ago. To limit the spread of the coronavirus, millions of people were asked to work from home. This has caused a greater shift in how some companies and employers view the workplace, and has given employees fresh eyes into how they work most creatively and efficiently. It has also given rise to conversation about elements of the workplace
that need addressing. One poll found that 60 per cent of respondents would prefer to work remotely as much as possible, either because it is working really well or because returning to the workplace means having to once again confront time wasting chit chat, office politics, gossip and bullying. Some said they were feeling so anxious about returning to the workplace they likened it to a first day of school. But whether we continued our jobs as usual or found ourselves facing major adaptations, maybe we can take some lessons learned and bring them into an ever-evolving situation. Moving huge segments of the work population into their homes resulted in countless video meetings taking place in personal spaces and that shone a different light on co-workers. There was a chance to see décor and style, mess or tidiness, and family interactions, and this provided a more genuine sense of one another. It’s something worthy of holding on to; allowing people to see who we really are. Others talk about the communication they received from bosses encouraging them
to take breaks, make time for exercise and get enough rest, describing a level of care they hadn’t felt before. This was not the experience of everyone, of course. People have lost jobs, the digital divide is more apparent than ever, and some employees weren’t given the kind of support they felt they needed to continue working. We can learn from that, too. We have heard so much in the past weeks that returning to anything has to be done right. Agreed. But in addition to protocols and precautions recommended to keep us safe, we need kindnesses and courtesies that keep things civil. Whether we work indoors or out, behind Plexiglas or in full personal protective equipment, in a cubicle, on a line, in an office or warehouse, the best things about what we do on the job should be the people we do them for and the people we do them with. There is so much that remains beyond any of our control, but how we chose to treat one another isn’t. It’s within our hands to make anyone’s first day – and each that follows – a good day. That’s my outlook.

All Reserve Golf Event attracts lots of teams By Kelly Johnson of the Carlyle Observer The White Bear Golf Course was host to the first All Reserve Golf Event, a Texas Scramble format with 32 teams competing. The event was organized by Brett Standingready and Shawna Maxay, and was fully booked within 23 hours of the call for entries. There were teams from 13 different First Nations. The team from the Onion Lake First Nation travelled almost 800 kilometres to participate. For those of you out there who think 13 is a lucky number, it certainly proved so on this occasion. With full entries, there was a planned
$22,000 in available prize money. The long drive for the women and men was worth $500, close proximity on the four par threes were $1,000, and $2,700 was for team skins, which there were four, working out to $675 apiece. The first place team captured $4,000. A separate 50/50 draw paid $105 to the winner. White Bear Sports and Recreation sponsored the hole in one on all of the four par 3s at $10,000 each; which were insured through Cooperators Insurance Agency in Carlyle, and the Long Drive and the closest to the pin competitions were sponsored by White Bear Lake Resort.
Winning the event was the team from Standing Buffalo with a score of 16-under-par, taking home what one would think would be the big prize of the day, except for the hole in one on the par 3, 16th hole by Tristan Keshane of Keeseekoose First Nation, who knocked in a 194yard ace with a 6-iron, taking the big prize of the day. The ace netted him $11,675 with the skin and the par 3, proximity, on top of the 10 grand; Keshane shared his success with his team members. Plans are already in the works to have the event in 2021. See Golfer of the week for more hole in one story information.

Golfer of the Week gets a big ace Tristan Keshane is from the Keeseekoose First Nation, which is north of Kamsack, and was golfing at the All Reserve Golf Event at White Bear Golf Course on Aug. 27. Keshane began golfing at around 10 years of age in his yard at home; his father had fashioned a golf hole about 150 yards long with the green behind a drainage ditch that ran past their place. Along with his two older brothers and a younger brother, Keshane would spend hours playing the hole, seeing who could put it the closest to the pin, hitting balls with a junior set of clubs that one of his brothers had received from his grandfather as a birthday present. Keshane played his first ever round of golf at the nearby Riverside Golf Course in Kamsack, tagging along for the day with his two older brothers. After finishing school he began to play regularly, at least three or four times a week, and every day in some weeks. Keshane has played several courses around
Saskatchewan, a First Nations Cup at Dakota Dunes, as well as rounds at Kenosee Lake, Deer Park in Yorkton, Madge Lake, and his home course of York Lake in Yorkton, where he is currently a member. He also has played at the highly rated Goose Hummock in Alberta, north of Edmonton, where his mother in-law was a vice superintendent at the time. Keshane’s best score in tournament play was a 4-over-par at Swan River’s Golf and Country Club in Manitoba, and he played to par at Deer Park in Yorkton in a regular round. Keshane has had a hole in one, one that is very vivid in his memory, as it just came at the All Reserve Golf Event he was playing in at White Bear on Aug. 27. It was with a six iron on the par-3 number 16, which he measured up to play 200 yards, after a teammate had scoped it to be 194 yards to the pin. He was using a Titleist ProV 1x number 3. He didn’t know it went in on the uphill hole till he had walked onto the green with his putter, and he was informed by the spotters that the ball hit 10

feet short, bounced twice and rolled in. The golf event had sponsored holes and each par three would be a $10,000 cash prize for the hole in one. The shot was also good for closest proximity and also won a team skin, delivering a cash prize of $11,675. Keshane will be sharing in his success with his team members who played in the event with him. On his team for the event were his sister Christie Whitehawk,
brother Trez Keshane, and Ashley Straightnose. Keshane uses Mizuno blades, which he had acquired for this year’s golf season, TaylorMade drivers, and a TaylorMade Spider putter. His ball of choice is a ProV 1x number 3. Keshane recommends Golf Kenosee as a must play course for the avid golfer, and if he has the opportunity, would like to make it to Pebble Beach on the northern Californian coast.

Cougar Corner: a new school year set to begin We are preparing our school for the return of our students. New routines, new teachers and a different environment are the new norm in education across the province. Our staff would like to acknowledge the outstanding efforts of parents to support their children in a difficult isolation period. We greatly appreciate the parents being a part the learning environment. It wasn’t easy for anyone and we look forward to having our students back with us. We’ve missed them. There may be a bit of homework to do
as we try to recover some lost time. Email communication is going to be very important between parents and teachers, so please make sure we have your current email address. Half our students will be here on Sept. 8, and the other half will be here Sept. 9. They will all be here together Sept. 10. This will allow us space and time to inform students of the new routines in our building and time to practise the routines with students. Teachers will contact parents to let them know which day to send their son or daughter. Just to let the
public know, only staff and students are allowed in the building. We’ll have a drop off area for parents and businesses to use. Congratulations to Bea Caan, D'anna Widdifield, Kadence Desrosiers, Kassidy Schultz, Greyum Kakakaway, Lily Cormier, Logan Procyk, Nicole Morrow and Reine Lafiguera! All of these young adults are now published authors. Each were individually selected to be a part of a published anthology of short stories or poems from entries all across Canada. What an achievement; we are so proud of you all.
Bea Caan, Lily Cormier, Kadence Desrosiers, Greyum Kakakaway, Reine Lafiguera, Nicole Morrow, Logan Procyk, Kassidy Schultz and D'anna Widdifield have been selected to have their writing published. Photo submitted
Carlyle among communities to receive MEEP funding The provincial government has approved additional projects from southeast Saskatchewan municipalities through the Municipal Economic Enhancement Program
(MEEP), including Carlyle. Government Relations Minister Lori Carr announced last week an additional 618 projects, representing more than $22 million of provin-

the economic recovery of the province,” Carr said. “The provincial funding flowing to our municipalities will support local job creation and help build a Saskatchewan that is as strong as the people who call this great province home.” Carlyle received $147,242 for a spray park, $39,500 for rubber paving around its pool and $30,000 for an ice plant wall repair. Carnduff was allocated $27,958 for an Antler Drive fire hydrant project and $130,000 for main water line upgrades. Lampman will
get $70,000 for a dugout expansion, $18,702 for fire hall roof repairs and $8,315 for a parking lot; and Stoughton will use its $93,280 for replacement of a main water supply line. As for villages, Alida received $17,247 for road upgrades; Forget received $7,905 for a building demolition and removal; Kisbey received $21,990 for sidewalk repairs; Manor received $42,400 for solar power for a well; and Storthoaks received $15,523 to upgrade roads. Among rural municipalities, the RM of
Brock received $38,375 for a variety of road repair projects, the RM of Moose Mountain received $70,714 to rebuild the Manor Road, and the RM of Techumseh received $38,950 for gravel crushing. The $150 million MEEP was announced in May. It is a key component of the Government of Saskatchewan’s $7.5 billion, two-year capital plan to stimulate its economic recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. MEEP 2020 funding must be used by municipalities by March 31, 2022.

Alida residents enjoying final days of summer Submitted by Edel Cowan Shelly Cowan was accompanied by her daughter Kelsey Rydberg to Regina on Aug. 26. Shelly met her in Estevan and then went onto Regina where Shelly had a medical appointment and they also did a little shopping before returning home to Estevan. On Aug. 28, friends, April and Adrianna Junk, Allie Schulhauser, Shasta Lemieux and Shelly Cowan enjoyed a leisurely horseback ride throughout the back trails around the Junk family farm. Shelly and Ainsley Cow-
an and other friends spent some time visiting at Moosomin Lake on Aug. 29 where they met up with other friends and helped Lily Allen celebrate her birthday. Happy birthday Lily and many many more. Aug. 29 was the last day that the Alida Swimming Pool was open for this year’s season. Many of the children, both here and around our area, whether they lived here or were on holidays, really enjoyed their time spent at the swimming pool this year. It was great to see that some our local young people were acting as the summer lifeguards at the pool and they did an excellent job (at
least whenever I was present). Hopefully we’ll be seeing them back again next summer. Well students you have a few more days of holidays and a long weekend and then it is back to the old school. As you see advertized that it’ll be a new school – yes, it will be slightly different I would imagine, but you’ll all make out just fine. You’ve all done so well throughout the summer, well even since March when you were sent home to self-isolate and to be safe. We have surely been fortunate here in southeast Saskatchewan, by escaping this pandemic and we’ll continue to do so as we carry on using
common sense, safe distancing and staying safe. Take care and have a good year. The harvesting around here is moving right along, had a rest on Sunday, as we received a good rain late Saturday night. These breaks are sometimes for the best as it gives the fellas a chance to catch up on little odd jobs that get put off while harvest takes priority. And it’s a good rest for the “old-timers” who are out there helping with the harvest. Continued good luck fellas and do be careful while you are busy out in the fields. Time to say good-bye to another month and hello to September. It’s another long
Maryfleld Sunrise Villa happenings Submitted by Janet Mark The event of the week at the villa was Fred & Mariano Krukoff's 70th wedding anniversary. Few of us reach that milestone. With Judy Skiba on piano, they danced to the anniversary waltz at noon. And huge balloons are still hanging over our table. It was Fred who
proposed they sing happy birthday for my 96th. Visitors this week were Wendy Turton, who was my flower girl (her mother a matron of honour) and her sister Jocelyn Hainsworth of Redvers. They are both keen gardeners, so we toured the courtyard. The visitor’s tracking lists have been filed for COVID-19 tracking.
Visitors were Wayne Smyth with Larry, Charlotte Kovach with library books and a movie, Sherry Wilson with Mildred, Verla Smith with Ted, Ingrid Hansen and Sharon Kennett with Mildred, Val Puska with Marie, Myrna Bleris and Diane Bourgeois, Dennis and Gtsele Toms with Grace, Phil Mark with Janet, David and Aimee Creshton with Cliff,
Larry Husband with Irene, Jeff and Rhonda Ross with Dosy, April Gaiger with Carol, Remi & Gwen Donais with Ruth, Richard Ketcheson with Betty, and Leora visited Harold and Cheryl. I missed the crop tour that same afternoon. Drivers were Mary Thiessen, Bree Moore and Pastor Alex and his wife Amber. Thank you kindly for
weekend coming up on Sept. 7 – the Labour Day – a sure sign that fall is here and it will soon be official by the calendar Sept. 22. Remember to 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, text at 306-485-8561 or email at 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.
driving. The residents could inform Alex of harvest problems and customs in this corner of Saskatchewan. Manuela Dick and her fiancé Jonas Penner visited us and sang for us. The Dick family is moving to Steinbach, Man. Sandra came to work just after one came here, and she has risen from caregiver to cook. In spare moments she sits at the piano and
plays for us. We will really miss their tender loving care. The wonders of Internet. Philip brought his computer and I heard my granddaughter in Philadelphia sing her auditions for the choir at her new college. At the moment all classes are online from home so all four of their family have Internet jobs in a house with air conditioning.

Words of Worth
Unless you’ve always lived a well-established routine that’s more closely resembled a rut than a schedule, you’ve probably created one in the past six months. I know I have. While I already had a fairly organized lifestyle, since this COVID thing, my mornings now consist of going for my walk at the nearby track, heading into town for a cup of tea involving chats with new as well as long-time friends, a stop at the local grocery store a few times a week, then home to do crossword puzzles before making lunch. Afternoons can range from totally lazy to regularly accomplishing chores such as laundry, CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

weeding or writing these articles. Oh yes, I also have daily phone conversations with our daughter-in-law and several friends. Talk about ruts… those were the last things I ever thought I’d have in my life. I recently read this quote: “Great things never come from comfort zones” and along with a very familiar verse of Scripture, it got me thinking: being in a rut definitely has its good and bad points. For me, the bad parts include a slide toward inertia, as in becoming lazy. It really is easier to crawl up on the chesterfield with pencil and eraser in hand than it is to get outside and weed or do a bit more walking. The good points: I spend less money since I don’t go shopping and I keep in touch with friends on a more regular basis. The writer of Proverbs admonishes us with these words: “Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all.” (Proverbs 3) Enjoy, then make use of ruts.

Library renovations are nearing completion By Kelly Johnson of the Carlyle Observer
The Southeast Regional Library’s branch in Carlyle has been undergoing renovations over the summer months, which are nearing completion. The upgrades, which included new flooring, a new floor plan, painting and upgraded computer terminals, were handled by local contractors and suppliers. The library is open currently for pickups, holds and returns, and is
hoping to be back to full operation and programming come October. Jen Sydor thanks the Town of Carlyle and R.M. of Moose Mountain for the facilities grant and as well a special thanks to the Town of Carlyle crew who were available to assist the contractors when necessary, doing the heavy lifting during the renovations, and all the others that were able to volunteer and give their assistance during the upgrade to the facility. An official grand reopening date will be announced in the near future.

Once you make a decision this week you have to stick with it and see it through, Leo. It can be challenging waiting for results, but be patient. The outcome will be known soon.

Moose Mountain Provincial Park receives funding By Kelly Johnson of the Carlyle Observer The boat launch at Moose Mountain Provincial Park has been slated to receive provincial government funding for upgrades to improve the facility. The launch is located at the west end of Highway 209 at the northwest shore of Kenosee Lake. The upgrade will be well received by people wanting to use the lake for personal water craft. The other boat launch,
which was at Manitoba Street, has been closed for some time, leaving the only other access to the lake for boaters in the Village of Kenosee Lake. The improvements are scheduled to be completed for the 2021 camping season and were announced in a press release by Gene Makowsky, the provincial minister for Parks, Culture and Sport, on Aug. 12 as part of an $11 million package of upgrades to the provincial park system.
