Revamped Creative Tables fundraiser in Arcola scores a big win for Look Good, Feel Better Program

By Deb Andrew The pictures cannot capture the buzz in the room preceding the shaving moments for 11 willing volunteers on Oct. 16. After collecting donations for the Look Good, Feel Better (LGFB) program and setting the stage for the firstever Creative Tables event with no tables, Darlene Olsen and her entire crew went live on FB to share the fundraising efforts with the public.

Shannon Shakotko met people coming in with her amazing smile while she moderated the evening and kept track of every person in attendance for contact tracing, offered masks and hand sanitizer. Robyn Ririe and Cindy Kolenz worked diligently, calculating incoming funds and creating spread-

sheets to forward to the LGFB program.

Professional hair stylists Amy Geiger from Salon 206 and Alicia Brown from New Dimension Hair Studio in Carlyle, and Katie Walter from Color Me Crazy in Arcola, gave their time to be a part of this great event. All three stylists had only good things to share about their businesses being back up and running after the initial COVID shutdown and they were happy to be a part of this event.

Addressing the online crowd just as she would in person, Olsen shared the LGFB story and had Leisa Grimes and Nicole Currie explain the impact being a part of this over the years has had on their lives. Both tears and laughter echoed in the hall as each one sat down to be

Big Six given green light for the season

By Lisa McCullough

The Big Six Hockey had their meeting on Sunday and are happy to announce that the league will be a go this year, with games starting Nov. 6.

A few changes had to be made for this to be possible, such as the nine teams had to be split into two mini leagues.

There will be five teams in the east: the Carlyle Cougars, Redvers Rockets, Wawota Flyers, Kipling Royals and Carnduff Red Devils.

Four teams are in the

west: the Arcola-Kisbey Combines, Yellow Grass Wheat Kings, Midale Mustangs and Bienfait Coalers.

The teams on the east will play eight games by Christmas and the teams on the west will play nine games by Christmas, at which time the league is taking a two-week break.

There are 150 fans allowed per game with social distancing guidelines being followed, such as all fans having to wear masks. No fans are allowed to enter the rink until 15 minutes before game time

Carlyle

and they must clear out within 15 minutes after the game has ended.

Players also have to wear masks when they enter and exit the rinks, coaches and timekeepers have to wear masks at all times and only three coaches are allowed on the bench.

“It's a start, at least we get to play hockey,” Rae Wright, president of the Big Six Hockey League states. Wright also says that they will all be meeting again in December to see if things have changed.

by cancer in some direct or indirect way. With regard to this event, the comments on the live feed and to Olsen privately were a resounding ‘thank you for doing this’ from some of the women fighting cancer right now.

In previous years, Creative Tables has utilized the help of Arcola Daycare and has shared a portion of the proceeds to help their centre, but with that being impossible this year, 100 per cent of the proceeds will go to the Look Good, Feel Better program. The Creative Tables evenings have raised enough money to average around $20,000 per year for LGFB, but this year’s total blew Olsen away.

“Oh my God!” was all she could say as the numbers came rolling in Thursday

night. The volunteers participating this year raised over $37,000 for the program.

Being able to encourage and bring out the best in people has always been something Olsen loves to do, “… but this was not about me,” she said. “These people went above and beyond and did this. I could have never done this alone.”

Having their heads shaved were Olsen, Currie, Grimes, Auldene Craig, Patti Baumgartner, Deb Wallace, Amber Evans, Ty Currie, Joel Mryglod, Keegan St. Marie and Mike Parker.

Hats off to all the volunteers and to all who donated to Creative Tables this year.

Patiently waiting for the opening of the new fire hall

By Deb Andrew It has been just over 10 years for Chief Don VanMeer and the current fire department volunteers in planning and executing the construction of a new fire hall for Carlyle and area. As with any large construction project, things take time.

The fire chief shared the success of the golf tournament they have held each year in raising over $100,000 for this project as well as the involvement from the Town of Carlyle and the RM of Moose Mountain in making this a reality. A walk-through on Oct. 13 showed they could be in as early as mid-November if all

goes as planned.

The Carlyle fire department has moved from being in the town shop, to a location on Railway Avenue, to the old Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure building which they have outgrown.

As with all small town, paid on-call or volunteer firefighting departments, maintaining and repairing old equipment and buildings become more costly than replacing with the new. This was one factor when looking at repairing, renovating and adding on to the building they are currently in.

Two main pumpers, a wild land unit, a ladder truck and a tanker are what the

The west side of new fire hall. Photo by Deb Andrew department currently has to service the local area with their summer equipment needing to be stored outside in the winter and their winter equipment needing to be stored outside in the

summer. This can be a concern with possible damage or theft.

“We have to continually move equipment around or keep it outside if we have to work on the trucks,” VanMeer explained.

The need to have this and more equipment is necessary as Carlyle is a main station for the area, specifically Carlyle, Manor and White Bear First Nation. The surrounding communities all have their local volunteers who are immediately available, but Carlyle can provide all the necessary firefighting skill and ability that a smaller community may not have the manpower or equipment to handle on its own.

Insurance costs are often dependent on the availability of firefighting services in proximity to where you live.

Homeowners living far from any firefighting facilities can pay exorbitant prices for insurance if they can get it at all. The town, the RM and the many small towns around us have different needs for equipment, depending on their water sources and availability, so everyone working together to raise money for the needs of each community is necessary.

Because of the diversity of the southeast corner, the local departments have many different dangerous scenarios they may face when arriving on scene.

“In the last three years, at least, we have noticed more departments contacting us wanting to join our training nights to help further themselves to better serve their communities,” VanMeer

said. “That is another thing with this new hall, to be able to do more extensive training and involve others.

Even having a conference room will also be great.”

He closed with his gratitude, “Thank you to everyone in the community and area, especially the small things that you might take for granted. The Lions Club has consistently given thousands of dollars every year for at least the last 15 years and that is huge.

Businesses, farmers, and everyone who has pulled together to help is just amazing.”

Once in the new building, the Carlyle Fire Department will be looking for new members as there will be ample opportunities for training and practice going forward.

Local canine expertise for your fur babies

By Deb Andrew Love is a great motivator for committing to anything in life. Working with and caring for dogs is no exception.

With COVID measures still in full force, rescues are ecstatic to have needed homes open to adopt and good breeders are happy to report long wait lists as they carefully plan to supply for the demand.

Homes are filled with dogs of all ages as people have been given opportunity to work from home and just slow life down a bit. So where do you start?

Researching the right breed for your

family’s lifestyle, working with rescues to build a relationship with and test the temperament of the dog you bring into your family, and setting up your home for success with supplies and training necessary to properly care for the dog you choose, is a good place to start.

Even with all this planning and work on your part, expert help is what you need to provide the optimal safe and healthy environment for your pet.

When you see a well-behaved, well-mannered dog who is calm and happy, you can be assured a lot of time has been spent with that ani-

mal, building a relationship with basic needs of food and shelter, and creating trust and huge amounts of communication. This is where a trainer comes in.

Katie Mryglod, with Katie’s K9 Training, loves helping families in the area with their dogs and plans to continue to expand sharing her knowledge and experience.

Mryglod’s first exposure to dogs was with her school’s work experience program in a kennel with cleaning, exercising and feeding after which she apprenticed and worked as a care aid with the Vancouver Island Health Authority. Wanting to dive into professional dog training as a career in Sooke, B.C., Mryglod signed up for the Certified Professional Dog Trainers program with the Wonderdogs.

With her sidekick Rocky (an Australian cattle dog), she was certified in 2009 after full days of half-time in class and half-time in the field and then started her own training company called West Coast Dogs.

“I was feeling super lucky to be able to do what I loved as a job,” Mryglod shared.

A Prairie journey began after meeting her husband Joel and mak-

Katie Mryglod of Katie’s K9 Training is well-versed when it comes to training dogs. ing the difficult decision to leave the island life she knew and loved.

“I quickly grew to love Prairie life. It has crept into my heart and is definitely where I call home now,” Katie said as she explained her amazing community and life with Joel and their four children: Rogan (8), Sloan (5), Palmer (4) and Odin (18 months).

“This community has become my family.”

Now that their family is complete, Katie can dive into dog training a little more full time. She has maintained some training with one on one clients,

either at her home or theirs as well as group lessons at her acreage or A Second Family Dog Lodge in the winter months.

In Mryglod’s words, “I have worked with all temperaments and breeds, from puppies to senior dogs in everything from basic training, trick training and aggression. I don’t classify myself as a specific type of trainer, I feel every dog and their owner has different needs to meet the goal they are trying to achieve.” All good, certified trainers will train on an individual basis when dealing with specific issues

and even in group basic obedience classes, take the time to find what works best for you and your dog.

“Training your dog is about building a connection and partnership of understanding and once you develop that, the tricks are just icing on the cake.”

Spending the time and resources to build the relationship with your fur babies is more than worth it and will ensure a lifetime of health and happiness for you and your pet.

Dance for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada

By Lisa McCullough

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC) is the largest voluntary cancer research agency specifically focused on finding cures and better treatments for blood cancer patients.

Stephanie Barnes of Oxbow Dance has decided to have a Zumba fundraiser this year to raise money for LLSC. “Three years ago my father was diagnosed with lymphoma.

His blood cancer was discovered though ulcers in his stomach.

He underwent chemotherapy and radiation and has now been cancer free for two years,” Barnes explains.

Barnes goes on to state that the LLSC has

been a very positive group for her parents.

She says they have been very helpful and comforting during her father’s journey.

“They are so supportive and have so much information whether you are at the beginning of your journey or have been going through it a little longer.”

It is because of this support that Barnes decided to have a fundraiser for the group.

“Every year the LLSC has a Light the Night fundraiser. This is a fundraiser that takes place all over Canada. You can raise money in different ways, bake sales, Zumba classes or getting pledges for the walk.”

Her fundraising team is called Team

Greeley; it is located in Newfoundland. Barnes states that they have had a tonne of support over the last couple of years with the bake sale her mother and auntie have put together.

“Our family members collect pledges for running or walking for the Light the Night walk and this year I am offering two nights of Zumba classes. All proceeds will go to the LLSC.” The Light the Night fundraiser is on Oct. 24 all across Canada. It will be a virtual walk due to COVID-19 but everyone is encouraged to participate and show their support. For more information on this event you can check out the LLSC website for more details.

“Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.”

Election sees big spending, big Sask.

Party lead

By Murray Mandryk A Provincial Point of View The good news is that only one of the two incredibly expensive, vote-buying platforms from the two major parties in this 2020 Saskatchewan election will be implemented.

The bad news is that no matter whether we vote for the Saskatchewan Party or NDP platforms, we all will be paying for these promises for years to come.

It may come down the lesser of two spending evils.

Let us begin with the platform most likely to be implemented – the Sask. Party’s platform – that will produce deficits of $2.223 billion in 2020-21, $1.695 billion in 2021-22, $1.06 billion in 2022-23 and $463.6 million in 2023-24, before turning around a very modest surplus of $43 million in 2024-25.

If implemented in such a way, it would produce the three largest deficits in our province’s history.

The source of all this red ink can be found in massive new spending – $849 million’s worth in the next four years. Moreover, some of its biggest costs may very well be categorized as unnecessary.

They would include $263 million for the SaskPower customer rebate, $189 million through the Saskatchewan small business tax reduction plan and $124 million for the Saskatchewan home renovation.

The Sask. Party plan also calls for a series of smaller spending initiatives, including $33.6 million for reducing seniors ambulance fees, $18.7 million for reducing costs for diabetics, $8.5 million for community rink grants, $5.6 million for veterans’ services organizations and $3.5 million for increasing funding for deaf/bind services.

Why the incumbent party is likely to get away with all this is because its plan is actually rather modest compared with the NDP campaign platform that would produce more and far larger deficits.

The NDP plan says its government would run deficits of $2.302 billion in 2020-21, $1.949 billion in 2021-22, $1.483 billion in 2022-23, $998 million in 2023-24 and $652 million in 2024-25.

After four years of a Ryan Meili government, we would see the four largest deficits in Saskatchewan history and still be $600 million away from a balanced budget.

The source of these NDP government deficits would be $2.14 billion in added spending in the next term of government for some big-ticket policy changes that begin with $536-million to reduce classroom sizes.

The next biggest NDP promise is $432 million to end short-staffing in long-term and acute care followed by $206 million to provide the best homecare in Canada.

That is followed by another $202 million over four years to provide $25 per day daycare and increase daycare spaces. The NDP’s much-talked-about SGI rebate plan will cost a comparatively modest $120 million.

These four major promises are part of a 26-item list that includes $24 million to help offset the minimum wage, $21 million for child welfare reform, $21 million for poverty reduction, $21million for First Nations housing and reconciliation, and $19 million for increased funding to combat gangs.

The NDP choice to outspend the Sask. Party is just one of many things going well for Premier Scott Moe this campaign … although it should be noted things haven’t exactly gone perfectly.

The Sask. Party government is still contending with the COVID-19 outbreak that’s seeing a recent rise in case numbers.

Moe’s personal reputation has also taken a hit over issues related to his driving record when he was younger. The sons of a woman killed in a 1997 car crash for which Moe was responsible say he has never properly apologized. And an undisclosed 1994 driving while impaired/leaving the scene charge (later stayed) has hurt his image.

Where it hasn’t seemed to hurt him is in the polls, where his government is still on track to an easy win on Oct. 26.

But while this has left the Sask. Party in good shape for the next four years, it’s unlikely the same be said for Saskatchewan’s taxpayers.

Worth more than a pretty penny

Shelley Luedtke A little girl in Illinois wrote to the tooth fairy to say she would take dollars instead of coins if that would help the situation.

That’s how real the coin shortage got in the United States when much of the country was in stay-at-home mode. Here in Canada, the shortage was $50 bills. Does that make us high rollers or paranoid hoarders? Not sure. But coins weren’t circulating south of the border.

Some retailers wouldn’t offer change if customers paid in cash.

Others gave the option of adding the equivalent to their loyalty cards or donate balances to charity.

It got me thinking about fountains around the world and all the coins sitting dormant at any given time.

For centuries, people have been tossing coins

into fountains and making wishes. There’s just something about listening to the plop of a coin as it hits the water and makes it descent. As it does, it is often joining countless other coins to the tune of thousands of dollars each year.

Most fountains are cleared of their coins quite regularly and the money earmarked for charity. In Disney Parks, it goes to children in foster care while the Rainforest Café sends theirs to environmental charities.

Fountains in Las Vegas, West Edmonton Mall and the Mall of America yield thousands for charity each year, but the most impressive is Trevi Fountain in Rome, which can collect almost $3,500 per day.

Imagine what might be found if one hadn’t been cleaned out in more than a decade.

Such was the case when an aquarium in North Carolina temporarily closed due to the pandemic. For the first time in 14 years, the staff turned off its 30-foot waterfall and cleaned out the coins that had been tossed into the water.

We likely don’t think twice about the value of coins we throw into fountains because they

represent such a small fraction of what we have.

Make a wish, drop a coin or two into the water, and carry on. We don’t give a thought to what we’ve parted with. But we should. Not because of what we’ve thrown in, but because of what it represents when it joins with others.

That’s where the bigger value lies—when our coins combine with all the others. Great things come as a result.

The same goes for another treasure we can contribute to: election results. One ballot — when combined with others — is powerful. How powerful? In Quebec in 1994 a dead heat was declared in a riding and a whole new election had to be held 42 days later.

In Virginia in 1971, a tie was broken by putting names into sealed envelopes and a blindfolded elections official selected one out of a bowl. Two years later the winning candidate lost re-election by 0.03 per cent of the vote. In Nova Scotia in 1999, a returning officer broke a tie by pulling a name out of a box. In Alaska in 2006 a coin toss decided the outcome.

A coin toss also decided the result in PEI in 2015 when a judicial re-

count determined a vote had been mistakenly put in the wrong pile. On and on it goes. Each…vote… counts.

If those coins don’t get dropped into fountains they can’t be part of the overall total that goes on to do such good work.

If eligible voters don’t go and mark a ballot, they can’t be added to the others to elect good leaders.

It’s more than making a wish. It is putting our support behind those we want shaping the future.

Something we don’t want to wake up to the morning after an election is disappointment in voter turnout.

In the fountain at the aquarium they retrieved $8,563.71. Some were disappointed by the total. Others were pleasantly surprised since it was never intended to be a wishing well. But each and every coin, in combination with all the others, resulted in resources for the care of animals.

Every ballot, in combination with others, gives a mandate to those wanting to serve. What else can you do that is so important yet costs you less than tossing coins into a fountain? On October 26 – vote. On November 9 – vote. That’s my outlook.

Teacher shares challenges facing educators during pandemic South East Cornerstone Teachers’ Association (SECTA) president Whitney Paul spoke about the challenges facing educators in the region during the Oct. 14 meeting of the South East Cornerstone Public School Division’s trustees.

Dealing with senior leadership, staff members and teachers, it’s been a big experiment in building relationships, she said.

Originally from Manitoba, Paul said she gained her early years education in Weyburn and Estevan and even had Cornerstone director of education Lynn Little as her junior high school principal in Estevan. Paul said she is in her second year as a fine arts educator in Redvers and had worked in Arcola earlier where she also got to know retiring Cornerstone board member Harold Laich.

With a masters degree in education, she

said she has carried out intervention work for the division in the past while arts remain her passion. She currently delivers that program to Grades 3 to 8 in Redvers using a totally rearranged program made necessary because of the pandemic.

“I know (with) my role as president, the division has been supportive and I did get some accommodations to help me carry out this work and most of it has been online,” she said.

“The focus will be on building relationships.

I have seen and heard about the stress levels.

There is a lot of anxiety out there and it has taken a toll.”

Of course teachers prefer the face-toface option for delivering education to young students but the new age of virtual learning has come to the fore.

She has gotten to know board members through streaming services and

has been able to share and develop a collegial atmosphere even under these trying circumstances.

Stating the new school year was, not a normal startup, “the reality is, we are exhausted and I am worried about the teachers. Normally they are a resilient group, but I am an optimist. I also have a hard time listening to my own advice to be optimistic at times.

“It’s a tricky balance.

I know the teachers are worried about the burdens placed on them and that’s why I’m here. I’m not here to provide you with a big, formal Power Point presentation. We just need a conversation during these incredibly hard times where things are ever changing with no simple answers.

Somehow, we’ll figure this out and in the meantime everyone needs to be healthy and safe.”

bley said the board has received the message clearly and they do detect the positive attitudes of the teachers and how they deserve a heads up and recognition of the fact they are doing their best under challenging circumstances.

Estevan trustee Jim Vermeersch said he was encouraged after hearing her statements regarding the building of relationships.

Weyburn trustee Melanie Sorensen asked Paul, “what’s missing, what areas are the most concerning?”

Paul said in some instances it was class structures and six-day cycles where there are no normal shifts in teaching periods.

“It’s difficult also to wrap our heads around planning activities and classes online. So you do what you can when you have them in front of you. Your lesson plans have a whole new look.

The structure is different.”

Trustee Harold Laich said, “the teaching fraternity has their foot soldiers, just like they do now in health care.

They rally the troops. Do teachers have their morale leaders?”

Paul replied: “Most definitely, and we can

Whitney Paul rally for a long time, but how long will they be able to do that? Some teachers may not be up to it.”

Laich said it would be a wonderful thing if the board somehow managed to recognize these morale leaders once the pandemic forces die down to manageable levels.

Paul said the outlying themes being used in bulletins and notices have centred on getting teachers connected to resources to help them get through the pandemic maze and out to the other side.

Trustee Carol Flynn said she has heard a few rumours of posi-

tive outcomes on some playgrounds where bullying has been reduced or even eliminated as youngsters appear to be getting along better with an understanding of what’s going on.

Again, Paul said, that this bright note for some students is sometimes “not so great for teachers who have to extend their supervision hours,” to work with various class cohorts.

But, she concluded on a positive note, again, teachers in many areas have already worked out supervision sharing systems that appear to be working without compromising the current rules.

West crushed it at Maple Leaf Junior Tournament

By Deb Andrew Shawna Cudmore of Wawota, SK contacted the Observer to inquire about the possibility of a story about her nephew, Theoren West and you’ll be glad she did. In a time where sports, especially school sports, are being delayed or cancelled with no hope of returning soon, the accomplishments of this Grade 12 student from

Wawota should not go unmentioned.

After years of working on his golf game to qualify for higher level competition, West shared, “I was upset that the fall school golf was cancelled, however, I was able to compete in the Maple Leaf Junior Tour all summer.”

Winning two tournaments and collecting the most points in all of Saskatchewan for his age group, his scores

in Saskatoon, Estevan, Regina, Warman and Swift Current positioned West for the invitation to the national tournament in Surrey, B.C. “I thought the experience was awesome,” West shared. “I got to compete against the best junior golfers in Canada. The Morgan Creek Golf Course and the drive through the mountains to get there was beautiful.”

After three rounds and scores of 78, 77 and 79, West finished in eighth place and was awarded the MJT Saskatchewan Order of Merit for player ability and frequency of participation.

West shared his goal: “I would love to get a scholarship to an American school so I can golf year-round but because of COVID I am not sure how that would work.”

When asked his encouragement for other young people attempting to practise and perfect their sports or skills during this restrictive season, West responded, “With COVID there are a few more rules to follow but don’t let that stop you. If it is golf you love, work on all parts of your game.

Find family and friends to help you and don’t let one bad shot derail your game.”

Theoren West of Wawota recently competed at a national junior golf event in B.C. Photos submitted to Observer by Shawna Cudmore

watched this team while growing up on his family farm and decided to compile a history book of the team.

“The Royals were fascinating to me because I grew up on a farm in the ’90s in a household that didn't follow hockey or sports at all,” McGuire explains.

The economy was not great in those times, according to McGuire, and a lot of people moved to bigger cities or to Alberta. “It was very depressing, plus a lot of our minor hockey teams in Kipling weren't very good, either. But I grew to love the Royals and the team gave us something to get excited about.”

Though McGuire does not live in Kipling any longer he states that anyone who remembers the Royals likely has

some great memories of them. The arena itself is still in Royal colours.

“They taught us it was okay to dream a little and think big,” McGuire explains.

“There is something magical about a playoff run stretching through the snow melting, an overtime win out of the blue and going for a beer after to celebrate on a Tuesday night. It is something most towns and cities never experience and that's a real shame.”

McGuire explains that the history book has become a labour of love.

Though it is not very far along yet, he has collected some great photographs from Rick Metzler, who put together a scrapbook and collected some stories from some of the alumni.

“When I found out the Kipling Citizen went under a little while ago, I realized that I had better make sure I get access to their archives in order to do my research and put a little more urgency into this. I am still working on that. It will be the biggest key to this project especially the pre-1980s part of it.”

McGuire wishes to tell the story of a time when not everyone had access to TVs, smart phones and other devices to stay entertained and give an underappreciated time and place in hockey its due.

“The Kipling Royals were our NHL and still could be today. So if we could tell that story to the alumni so they understand what the Royals meant to all of us and also tell the story of what they

could be to the younger generations who did not get to experience all that, then I think we will have accomplished something worthwhile here.”

“Sport has added a lot of joy to my life and given me a lot of adventure from covering the SJHL, the Ontario Hockey League and the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Much of my love for sport came from the Kipling Royals. So I owe them a lot. Perhaps I could give something back,” McGuire explains.

McGuire wishes to ask the public that if there is anyone who may have photos or stories about the Kipling Royals or an idea of something interesting that could be added to the book, to contact him at brendanhowardmcguire@gmail. com.

EMS workers: unsung heroes of the community

By Lisa McCullough

Across Canada, thousands of first responders are struggling, frequently in silence, with the consequences of their jobs.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget about these unsung heroes.

Diana Adams, an EMS worker from Stoughton, has worked in health care since 1995. Before returning to her hometown, Adams worked as a care aide in Alberta and also as an aide that helped rehabilitate people of all ages.

“When I moved back to Stoughton, I started working casual in Estevan as a special care aide and was then approached by Stoughton ambulance to see if that would be something that interested me. Wasn’t sure at first but thought why not give it a try.”

When asked how she prepared for the job as an EMS worker, Adams stated that the team would meet monthly and develop skills that helped them work efficiently and effectively as a team.

“The lady who ran things with the

ambulance made sure that you understood what she was teaching you. It was an extreme help,” Adams explains.

Adams worked with the ambulance for about five years and then decided to go for a course which she attended part-time in Weyburn through SIAST. “Between working at the nursing home in Stoughton part-time, going to school every other weekend, taking calls with the ambulance and raising two girls, I had a pretty busy life, Thank goodness for family,” she says.

Adams explains that since COVID-19, things have changed in her job.

“Making sure you do self-screening every day so that you are safe to be at work. You have to keep on top of changes and safety regulations so as to keep yourself as well as everyone around you as safe as possible. Wearing of PPE. Making sure you have all the proper PPE available for everyone working in the unit.”

Adams explains that everyone needs to remember that in order to keep other people safe, you have to keep yourself safe.

Photo submitted by Diana Adams Adams says that one of the biggest struggles is not having enough staff. “Our ambulance is a volunteer service and everyone who works with us has another job to go to. They pick up ambulance shifts when they can.

I honestly feel our community would feel a great loss if we didn’t have this service.”

EMS workers, like other first responders sometimes come across scenarios that are harder to handle than others, but Adams explains that every-

one is there for everyone. If someone is having a difficult time with something, she tells them to speak to one another.

She also explains that other ambulance services will often call one another to make sure everyone is doing OK and handling things.

“The biggest thing is to talk and not keep things bottled up inside,” Adams insists.

When someone has to attend a scene where human life may have been lost, Adams said they do what they can to help but sometimes there is nothing that can be done.

“When we get back to our station we tend to go through the scenario and walk through what we did or what we could have done differently. Every situation is different.”

As human beings we sometimes take things for granted, but services like the Stoughton Ambulance are priceless in our communities so if you feel like you want to join their team you can contact Diana Adams and sign up. The world could use more selfless people in it.

Privileged to have Supreme Ambulance as first responders

By Deb Andrew With over 30 years of service to Carlyle and area, Rae and Dana Fenwick have worked hard to develop a business where people love to work and those needing the service are grateful for the level of care.

Paramedics are the unsung heroes who are willing to take on a highstress profession requiring provincially standardized training to respond to life and death situational calls, often for lower-than-normal salaries compared to other first responders. EMTs can be the lifeline from the location of the incident to the hospital, enduring long hours and irregular shifts depending on the circumstance.

Jackie Blaise, the supervisor with Supreme Ambulance service explained how she loves working for Fenwicks.

“This is a well-oiled machine,” she said as she detailed their employees, training, working with other first responders and upholding the highest standards. “Although they cannot fundraise as they are a privately

owned company, Rae and Dana have obviously run this business well over the years to be able to upgrade and maintain the expensive new equipment that is often needed.

These are huge expenses when necessary.”

Currently, Supreme has six full-time employees and a handful of casuals who stay in Carlyle when they come back

from advanced care paramedic (ACP) school to pick up a shift. The ambulance service works closely with the local hospitals, fire departments and RCMP when dispatched to motor vehicle accidents, patient transfers and other medical emergencies.

Some of their paramedic staff have also become members of lo-

cal volunteer fire departments. Although they have a designated area to cover, Blaise explained that they are often called to go further out when another department is on a call or out of service. They have been busy all year.

Stop and think about the possibility of no ambulance service out of Carlyle. Shuddering at the thought, Blaise spoke

of her personal goal of always going for a higher standard and making sure they are giving 110 per cent. “We have instructors come from out of town to give further training, so I am always asking them what we should be working on to maintain standards. I am happy to say that these instructors assure me we are already well above the standard.”

First responders for the Village of Manor provide crucial support for surrounding towns and villages

By Deb Andrew Don’t let the size of Manor fool you.

According to the 2016 census, the village of Manor is home to 295 people and as you may expect, there are not many amenities. The businesses, school, post office and town office are great for this little community, but you would never expect to find the fire hall that is tucked in just off the main street.

You may argue that it is just the typical little building for a town that size. It is what is inside that will blow you away.

Ten of the most genuine, happy, accepting people welcomed the picture taking, answered the questions and were more than happy to share stories. It became evident that this was a young, eager team of vol-

unteers ready to learn, train and serve.

Katrina Zandee, the only female in the crew, laughed as she said “I have known all these guys my whole life and I just go right into the situation when needed.”

Even if there is fear, Zandee said she knows it will be good because of their communication and sticking together.

She was disappointed that her and her fellow firefighters would not be able to go to their first level of training in Redvers.

“And I feel bad for Redvers, that they were chosen to host and then it was cancelled because of COVID.” Deputy Chief Brayden Rowley shared how keeping his community and the surrounding communities safe was his reason for seeing what

was involved and now, “It’s a blast!” he said.

Rowley shared that they have gained quite a few members in the last few years, sharing an astonishing list of 18 volunteers. As some of the crew stood around the table, they realized they had one person who had been a member for 10 years. Most of the members were four years or less. Eyes lit up as they talked about the blazes they put out and the ones they assisted with, grateful that no one has been injured in any of them.

Like all volunteer fire departments, equipment starts out as hand-medowns that may or may not fit and “gently used” machinery that needs a lot of maintenance, so there is always the need for new, basic equipment to enable them to serve the community well.

Members of the Manor Fire Department are a dedicated group.

COVID temporarily shut down Chase the Ace and barbecue fundraisers for a bit, but with money raised over the last two years they have gotten some new turnout gear.

Last week they finished putting together their new grassland unit, putting them at four units total. The department wants to see a new main engine parked in the fire hall one day.

2020 COUGAR 7 X 14 + 6” EXTRA HEIGHT.

Manor and surrounding communities for their continued support. Because of you guys, we will see that new engine in the hall someday.”

Camaraderie, heart, willingness to serve.

Manor and area, take time this week to thank your first responders, although this crew will not expect it and just be grateful for the chance to help – truly a gift.

Manor SK, Box 7, S0C 1R0

No schools to be put on notice for viability The South East Cornerstone Public School Division will not be reviewing the future of any schools for viability for the 2020-21 school year.

Three schools in the division failed to meet the provincially established standards for enrolment when all 38 public school facilities opened on Sept.

8 this year.

But under extenuating circumstances that included the pandemic’s arrival last spring, Cornerstone board members this year voted unanimously to forego any challenges or action plans that would place these schools and their surrounding community under any additional pressures.

Director of education Lynn Little informed the board during their Oct. 14 meeting in Weyburn that the schools in Pangman, Macoun and Manor did not reach the minimum enrolment level outlined by the Ministry of Education as being a basis for possibly notifying the schools and their communities that they were under scrutiny.

That would mean the communities would need

to make a case to remain open and operating as a viable educational facility in the next school year.

The threshold enrolment expectation for Pangman School, a kindergarten to Grade 12 facility, is 88 according to the provincial edict.

Pangman has registered enrolments below that threshold since 2005.

With a current enrolment of 62, it continues to operate as a vital link in a community that uses its resources for more than just educational purposes.

That factor had been pointed out to previous boards when community leaders came to plead their case for the continued operation of Pangman School.

Little said the fiveyear projections of enrolments between 59 and 63 indicated some stability.

Manor, which also has a kindergarten to Grade 12 program, registered 59 students in September of this year.

It first fell into the province’s non-viable checklist in 2015, falling just a few students shy of the 88-student enrolment figure.

The five-year enrolment projection of between 60 and 64 again pointed to some stability at the current pace, the administrative chart suggested.

Macoun School, a kindergarten to Grade 8 facility, has bounced from viable to non-viable on the enrolment charts since 2007, the report showed, and while it met the minimum threshold number of 51 set by the

ministry the previous school year, with a school population of 54, it fell under that mark in September of this year, with a total enrolment of 47.

Little noted, however, that projections for Macoun were favourable with expected enrolments for the next five years topping the threshold requirement by at least two to four students.

Based on the information provided to them,

and recognizing the stress and anxiety factors existing in all communities this fall and winter, the Cornerstone board vetoed the idea of putting any school under notice for being a non-viable entity.

In accepting the motion and unanimous vote by the board, chairwoman Audrey Trombley noted that in some instances, students who would have physically enrolled in any one of these three schools

may very well have opted to engage in home schooling or registered with the online Cyber Stone Virtual School, also offered by the school division.

The lower numbers within the physical facility this year may have been skewed in a negative direction this year for the obvious reason of families and students making choices based on the continuing pandemic situation.

Keeping them in mind

By Linda Wegner Years ago, we knew a young fellow who used to love to say grace before meals.

No matter how briefly or fervently he prayed he always added this comment: “And dear God, help our food to turn to energy and not fat.” As you may have guessed, his family was dedicated to staying slim and fit. I have no doubt that if they have kept up their routine, their persistence has ensured that his prayers were answered.

Going back even longer than that, one of my childhood memories is of my pastor preaching about prayer.

Tudor Jones was a short man from Wales, filled with fervor and the ability to reach my heart those decades ago.

“Be careful what you pray for, Linda,” he used to tell me, “because God answers prayer.”

It’s taken me a lifetime to learn that His choices are always right – not always easy –but always right. I’ve had to learn the hard way that while there are some things we can and need to do as our part in the process, there are times when our best efforts enhance the results we’re praying for.

During the past few weeks and months, I’ve been reminded of the need to support one an-

other in prayer. No matter what or who, each of us is feeling the effects of this pandemic and its accompanying isolation; loneliness has no exclusions these days. What’s wonderful, though, is that we do have the ability to cheer up one another. Here are just a few ideas: a phone call, a hand-written card popped in the mail, some baking, a smile even to a stranger.

I challenge each of us this week to think of a way we can do that but remember, like energy versus fat, good intentions alone aren’t enough. “…Pray for one another…”

(James 5:16) Amen.

Maryfield Sunrise Villa news Submitted by Joyce Gillies

The autumn season is a beautiful time of year.

The harvest is pretty well completed in this area and most of the fields have been cultivated and are ready for next spring. The leaves have made a colourful picture both on the trees and after they have fallen.

What a gorgeous sight.

Visitors to the villa residents were as follows: Richard Ketcheson, Vi and Eric Johnston, Briand and Frieda Thiessen, Barry Toms, Cheryl Friesen, Valerie Van Dresar, Mary Thiessen, Alex and Amber Bojorquez, Gillis Burke, Roy Swanton,

Ingrid Hansen, Sharon Kennet, Wendy Lynd, Neila Dennis, Roy Bortolotto, Rhonda Sweeting, Lydia Frazer and Charlotte Kovach.

Activities were enjoyed as scheduled and the very special Thanksgiving dinner prepared

by Judy Moore (one of our cooks) was the highlight of the week. Thank you Judy – you really shone.

A very beautiful bouquet of flowers was brought by Gillis Burke from the graveside service of his aunt, and Ralph's sister Joan Colborn. The flowers are beautiful and very much enjoyed by the staff and tenants. Thanks very much on our behalf and

deepest condolences.

We are not looking forward to the winter months, which will soon be upon us, especially if the COVID-19 pandemic is a hazard that keeps us isolated from our family and friends.

Entertainment that had been provided by many local groups before the dreaded virus took over a good part of our lives was discontinued and we truly miss those in charge of their talents and caring. Let’s all try to do our part in stamping out this wicked virus now – a mask is a must.

Dlstancing ourselves from others guarantees keeping out of touch.

Thank you. We need each other.

Legion’s annual poppy campaign starts soon Submitted by Wendy Rounce October is almost over and the annual poppy campaign for the Carlyle branch of the Royal Canadian Legion will be starting on Oct. 30. Poppy trays will be put out and members of the legion will be visiting the business as usual.

All members will be wearing masks when canvassing. This year the cadets will not be allowed to canvas door to door so we hope that people will take advantage of the poppy trays in the usual businesses.

It has been a very different year for everyone and the legions will not be allowed to have the traditional Remembrance Day service.

The national Remembrance Day service will be live from Ottawa and people are encouraged to watch it. We are planning to have a short service at the cenotaph. We hope to be able to broadcast it so people can listen in their cars but more information will be available before that time.

Many people wonder what the money collected during the poppy campaign is used for. This money is placed in a trust fund and used locally. Over the years money has been used to purchase equipment for the

The Observer

hospital and Moose Mountain Lodge, such as beds and special mattresses, as well equipment used for patient care.

Other donations have been used for STARS Air Ambulance, cadets and fruit baskets for Moose Mountain Lodge. The most important purpose of this fund is to assist veterans who are in need, whether to purchase needed equipment or assist in an emergency.

A study has been started to determine the number of veterans living on the streets in larger cities and the number is high. In Regina alone, the number of veterans in need far exceeds the beds available in shelters.

To this end, the legion has set up a program, Leave the Streets Behind, to help homeless veterans.

Another program that has been set up is Paws for Veterans, which gives veterans with PTSD a dog trained to help them deal with this problem.

There are veterans home from Afghanistan with severe physical and mental injuries who need the help of the Legions.

The monies collected through the poppy campaign are used to help in all of these situations. Any questions you may have can be asked of the legion member who canvases your business.

Fall surely did come with a bang now, letting us know that the next season is just around the corner. It tried to give us some snow over this past weekend; thank goodness it wasn’t too successful and we only received some flurries, which never had a chance to accumulate into a white blanket. The wind was definitely on the cold side, what few flowers that had survived the first frost are now done.

Remember folks to please make sure that you cast your ballot for whomever you wish in the elections that are coming up very soon – both the municipal and the provincial elections are on this fall.

Also it’s now the flu season so one should remember to get your flu shot.

Please remember folks, keep me posted whenever you have news – simply contact me anytime on the happenings that are going on in and around Alida as well as within your own family circle.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Aries, rest and relax now because it may be a bumpy ride over the next few days. Rely on your energy reserves to make it through. Things will calm down soon enough.

Cancer, try a new and interesting hobby that aligns with your current interests. Don’t worry if it has nothing to do with your profession. It’s okay to branch out.

Libra, a pleasant routine is essential for improving your mood and outlook. It’s easier to handle stressful situations when you make smart choices. You need to relax and enjoy.

You are a natural leader who prefers overseeing projects to getting your hands dirty. But to strengthen authority, you sometimes have to handle some of the nuts and bolts.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Taurus, allow friends to lavish attention on you. You deserve a little more time in the limelight because of all the hard work you have been putting in.

Make some changes to your wellness routine, Virgo. Changes could help you feel better in your daily life and set the course for many positive things in the future.

There are many things happening around you, and it is best to focus on the positives even in the most hectic times. Immerse yourself in your favorite hobbies.

Now is the time to increase your income rather than the pressure on you. That means thinking outside the box in terms of additional work.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

Gemini, by making yourself more vulnerable, you can show others how you are compassionate and in tune with your softer side.

This may help create alliances.

Express yourself.

It is always good knowing someone has your back, Virgo.

This can be a best friend, a romantic partner, a family member, or even a colleague. It is a relief to have support.

Being in tune with your feelings is a very good thing this week, Sagittarius. It can help you focus on goals that will make you happy and avoid situations that make you upset.

Pisces, most of the time you like making your contributions from the background. But lately you are ready to step into the spotlight. Trust yourself and speak your mind.
