Saving Smithfield: Rescue and restoration in Southeast Saskatchewan Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Richard Krehbiel grew up hearing stories of Smithfield – the fieldstone house his Scottish great-grandfather built north of Kisbey in about 1903. The house was the first Canadian home for Scottish immigrant Bruce Anderson Smith and later, for other family members Smith brought from Letham, in Angus County, Scotland, to settle in this part of Saskatchewan and work for what soon became a highly-successful grain and draft horse operation.

Krehbiel, Smith’s great grandson, says the restoration of his family’s ancestral home is a “labour of love” and he has placed the house’s repair and return to authenticity in the hands of master stonemason Charlie Pirie of Balgonie’s Cap Masonry and his employees, Hannah Jeglum and Fred Heikkinen, as well as carpenter Tony Sengler.

“I have a long-term lease on the house from the owners - the Gordon family - and the R. M. of Brock has designated it an official heritage property,” says Krehbiel.

“And they’ve both been terrific. There aren’t many landowners who would let you come and play with their place.”

Richard Krehbiel grew up hearing stories of Smithfield - the fieldstone house his Scottish great grandfather built in the early 1900s.

The house was the first Canadian home for other family members from Scotland, and the farm was a highly successful grain and draft horse operation. Krehbiel calls the restoration of Smithfield “a labour of love” and he has placed the house’s repair and return to authenticity in the hands of master stonemason Charlie Pirie and his employees, Hannah Jeglum and Fred Heikkinen as well as carpenter Tony Senger (not pictured). Pictured in front of Smithfield are: (l-r) Hannah Jeglum, Charlie Pirie, Richard Krehbiel and Fred Heikkinen.

“My great grandfather was an orphan who was raised by his mother’s family in Scotland,” explains Krehbiel, a semi-retired law professor from Prince George,

B.C. “Because he was an orphan, he wouldn’t inherit any land and besides, Scotland was full.

So the family set him up to come here. He built a successful grain and

draft horse operation at Smithfield and brought several family members over here to settle in Canada.”

“It was a highlycapitalized grain and

draft horse operation, financed by Scottish money,” he adds. “And it wasn’t the only one there were five of these operations in this area.”

Years later, in the

wake of the Great Depression, the Smith family left Smithfield and moved north in search of better prospects.

From Front page - Saving Smithfield “I grew up near Nipawin,” says Krehbiel. “And I grew up hearing stories about Smithfield.”

“The house eventually passed out of the family and was abandoned in 1988,” he says. “There were several renters until the 1980s. But when it became vacant, there was, unfortunately, vandalism and theft as well as things like water damage.”

“I came here to look at the house in 2005 and it was in worse shape than I expected,” says Krehbiel.

“It took a year just to clean up the inside of the house.

My daughter and I spent one summer just picking up glass.”

In its prime, Smithfield consisted of the main house, a summer kitchen and a “massive barn,” according to Krehbiel. “The house has five bedrooms including a maid’s room with a staircase going down to the kitchen. Field hands slept upstairs in the (highceilinged) attic in the summer. There was a dining room and a great hall and a formal parlour, which wasn’t at all like a living room. Instead, funerals and other formal occasions were held there.”

“My great grandparents lived here and died here,” he says. “They had their funerals here and were buried in the local graveyard down the road.”

“The original kitchen was directly accessed via the maid’s or in this case, hired girl’s room, because that’s how things were done in those days,” explains Krehbiel.

“She would be the person who prepared the meals, which would be served in the formal dining room, which was located away from the kitchen.”

“My great-grandfather’s first wife died in childbirth and a young cousin who had first came to Smithfield from Scotland to work in the house eventually married him, becoming his second wife. The room for the hired girl was just across the hall from the master bedroom and when they married, she just moved across the hall,” he smiles.

“The barn and summer kitchen were also built with stone,” says Krehbiel. “It was a massive barn two-and-a-half times bigger than the house. It was burned down by one of the house’s previous owners and the stone was buried in the yard.”

“But every building was designed and built by Scotsmen,” he says. “It was all good Scottish architecture.”

“They made use of every stone they had,” adds stonemason Pirie. “Stone is great. It’s cool in the summer and warm in the winter. But it’s important to have a respect and understanding with how the wood works with the stone,” a sentiment carpenter Senger shares.

“The stone and the wood work together,” says Senger, who was retired when he was first recruited

by Pirie to work with him on a church restoration in Wishart, Sask.

“I was right out of (carpentry) when Charlie got a job restoring a church in Wishart,” says Senger. “I love working with my hands and projects like these are surprising and rewarding, so I couldn’t turn it down.”

Pirie - a native of the Ottawa Valley - has worked on restoration projects which include Ottawa’s Rideau Hall - the official residence of Canada’s Governor General, Queen’s University in Kingston and the Saskatchewan Legislature, to name a few.

“I came here in 2008 to do some work on the Legislature,” says Pirie. “And I met my wife - a Regina girl. Since I’ve come to Saskatchewan, I’ve worked on projects here and elsewhere – and you can safely say that this is the only project like this in Saskatchewan.

It’s a complete restoration, top to bottom. And I’ll say ‘sadly’, too – because a lot of these old stone buildings are either crumbling or completely destroyed.”

Pirie says that neglect and vandalism are two factors he sees as hastening the demise of heritage

Retired law professor Richard Krehbiel is pictured with family photos at Smithfield, the stone house constructed in about 1903 by his great-grandfather Bruce Anderson Smith, a Scottish orphan who emigrated to Canada. “My great-grandfather was an orphan who was raised by his mother’s family in Scotland,” says Krehbiel. “Because he was an orphan, he wouldn’t inherit any land and besides, Scotland was full. So the family set him up to come here. He built a successful grain and draft horse operation at Smithfield and brought several family members over to settle in Canada.” buildings.

“Water damage and melting snow can pose problems,” he says. “But vandalism is pointless and really disappointing and destructive.”

“This house had the windows broken, which isn’t really surprising,” says Pirie. “But there were little holes and marks on some of the stone. It seems that someone using the windows for target practice had a bad aim or they decided to shoot the stone, too.”

“This house also had what was called a ‘Widow’s Watch’ which came up out of the attic. It was a wraparound wrought-iron fence on top of the house which acted as kind of a lookout,” he adds. “That was probably stolen.”

“The stone for the original buildings all came out of these fields,” says Pirie. “They all worked up to the surface as the fields were cultivated. The barn alone is 80 by 80 feet and they used every part of the stone.

They split them and they made use of every stone they had.”

“Any wood – which was used with the stone in the original construction was fir. It’s hardy and will withstand moisture,” explains Pirie. “The window wells in this house are extremely unique and in this case, the lady of the house probably wanted seats at her window.”

The reconstruction team replaces existing elements of the home with painstaking attention to detail and often, using the same types of tools the original builders would have employed.

Hammers, chisels and even an old-time secret recipe for preserving wood are just a few of the tools used by Pirie and his team.

“Often, we sleep at the job site,” he says, pointing to a trailer in the yard. “When the mortar sets, for example, we have to be there.”

Richard Krehbiel (left) and carpenter Tony Senger (right) discuss one of the many challenges that arise when undertaking a restoration on a historic and long-neglected property like Smithfield, a fieldstone house north of Kisbey. “The house passed out of the family,” says Krehbiel. “After that, there were several renters until the 1980s.

Stonemason Charlie Pirie of Balgonie is a native of Ontario and during his career, he has worked on restoration projects which include the offical residence of the Governor General - Ottawa’s Rideau Hall - as well as Gordon Hall at Kingston’s Queen’s University and the Saskatchewan Legislature, to name a few. kitchen and according to Pirie, this is just the beginning of the process of restoring the house to its former glory.

“What we do is a trade, but really, it’s more like an art form,” he says. “The appearance of the stones will ‘pop’ when we’re done, because the face of the stone will really stand out once we’re finished (restoring) it.”

“It’s one of the more rewarding aspects of this job – seeing the looks on people’s faces when we’ve brought a building back.”

Krehbiel hopes to host a July 2019 open house if the project remains on schedule, adding: “I plan to retire here. I would like to make it useful – perhaps as a reserch institute or even a bed and breakfast, just to make it significant again.”

“Smithfield is a unique property,” adds Pirie.

“And the story behind this house and everything in it . . . There’s nothing else like it in Saskatchewan.”

A unique outing: Red Market Barn Kelly Running Observer Staff

Harold and Brenda Johnston are back hosting their fifth season of the Red Market Barn.

The beloved summer market held Sundays are enjoyed every year by locals and visitors from far and wide.

“We try to mix it up every week, but still have everything people expect each week,” Brenda said. “And we have a rather nice routine with a lot of our vendors of, every other week.”

“We don’t lack variety in vendors and have everything from home made products, arts, crafts, homegrown food, and more. And we have music every week as well as lots of food available.”

The Red Market Barn, in the loft, will now be selling the Angel book series by Henry Ripplinger – a Saskatchewan author.

Brenda also says that she welcomes community groups to fundraise at the Red Market Barn as well, all they have to do is give her a call to set up a good day for them to come out.

“This week one of my main bakers wasn’t going to be able to make it, so I called Jen Wotta from Arcola, her son is playing hockey with Selects Hockey this year and I knew they were looking for a fundraiser, so I said if they wanted a table to sell baking they

could have one,” Brenda explained. “We’ve had a girl here with her Cancer Sucks Project which was raising funds for the Cancer Centre, Wawota Raise the Rafters have been here a couple of times, a group from Maryfield just sold tickets. So, we’re happy to help promote local groups and we can potentially have two to three here a week depending on if they need a table or if they are just selling tickets.”

If interested in an opportunity to fundraise during a market day at the Red Market Barn contact Brenda at (306) 577-1005.

This year a lot of work was put into their yard before the grand opening to ensure continued success of the seasonal market.

“We’ve moved the fence out eight feet which gave us quite a bit more room and we’ve built a new ticket booth,” Brenda said. “So we’ve revamped the whole yard and it’s made for a better flow of people.

Harold also painted the barn this year.”

The market will be open every Sunday starting June 18 where “the best shopping in southeast Saskatchewan on Sundays” can be found.

They live with kerosene lights, wood cook stove and furnace, using as little power as possible – although they do have solar panels and generator if needed. Their goal is to live sustainably, at one with nature.

“Most of what we sell was grown by us, but we’re not able to grow things like vanilla or oranges, so we have organic suppliers, as local as possible, that we source from,” Jugl stated.

They sell a variety of jams, noodles, spices (no fillers and no salt), and herbal teas. One of their unique dishes are the chocolate noodles and peach rum dessert sauce.

“We take advantage of nature as well, there’s a lot of wilderness in Saskatchewan and we’re able to forage, to harvest that as well,” Jugl added.

Their efforts see German and Saskatchewan traditions come together.

Admission to the event is free, while for a small fee a beer gardens and food booth will be available, which are being operated by the Moose Mountain Pro Rodeo Association. Support of a family rodeo is important to ensure the continued future

From Page 4 - Fiddlers host fundraiser concert for Cape Breton trip Southeast Saskatchewan is a hub of fantastic fiddlers. This includes a group of fiddle students who have learned from both Michele Amy and Donna Turk, who both call Forget home.

“We’re planning a trip to Cape Breton for the Celtic Colours Music Festival,” Amy explained.

The festival, which she takes students to every two years, is a unique, beloved experience. For nine days in October, the island of Cape Breton becomes a celebration of the Celtic culture, specifically celebrating music – although singers, dancers, and storytellers are also commonplace during the festival.

“The idea behind the festival is that you get to enjoy Celtic music, but you aren’t limited to one city or town, musicians play at small halls across the island,” Amy explained. “So, it’s kind of like being in Southeast Saskatchewan and traveling to different communities to see different musicians, enjoy community meals – similar to a fowl supper, and the youth attending will also partake in playing at different communities as part of the festival.”

Amy added that those attending will also enjoy fiddle instruction from some of the best fiddle players in the world who are performing during Celtic Colours.

“We will take in five concerts by some of the best Celtic fiddlers and will have four or five days of instruction by those same fiddlers,” Amy continued.

“And they’ll be showcased in different communities as well, which is always really great. I love being able

to share what we’ve been working on in Saskatchewan.”

“We have eight super full days and the concerts will determine where we go to tour, we’ll base ourselves from that community, tour during the day, and attend concerts in the evenings.”

Fiddlers participating are from Estevan, Carnduff, Forget, Carlyle, and Arcola.

“This concert tonight [June 6] is a way for them to raise funds,” Amy explained. “They’re musicians and they need to learn how to pay their own way, so putting on a concert is a very fitting way to fundraise for the trip.”

The concert was held at the Forget Church, with a large crowd filling the centre pews and overflowing into the side pews.

Starting off the show was a group from Churchill who had made their way down to Forget. This group will continue on to Alberta with Amy and a group of White Bear students to take part in The Hills are Alive Music and Dance Cultural Fest, which is run by the Metis Association. The camp focuses on traditional music, dances, teachings, and historical tours.

The Churchill group played beautifully before Tom and Trey took to the stage. The comical duo had people laughing in between their chosen songs, but

everyone was captivated during the tunes as the talented artists showcased their skills.

The Cape Breton fundraising group then took to the stage mesmerizing their audience with a variety of tunes including Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing,” which a video can be found by visiting this article online: www.carlyleobserver.com.

The impressive showcase had youth fiddling, playing the cajon, and singing.

Following a break in the program the Cape Breton traveling musicians continued to perform and they also welcomed the young group: UnForgetable. This group is made up of Micah Walbaum (Forget), Gavin Fleck (Lampman), Declan Cameron (Stoughton) and Tom Gammons (Butte, Montana).

An evening of education: Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge Host Alzheimer’s information night Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

The statistics are startling and the outcome - for now - is inevitable: currently, about 500,000 Canadians are affected with Alzheimer’s disease and/or dementia and right now, there is no cure.

In Saskatchewan, 19,000 people have dementia and by 2038, it is estimated that more than 28,000 Saskatchewan residents will be living with dementia if nothing changes with regards to a cure.

“By 2038, it’s estimated that 1.4 million Canadians will be affected with some form of dementia,” says Karrie McFadden, First Link Coordinator for the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan. “And that (number) is the population of Saskatchewan.”

McFadden recently visited Carlyle United Church at the invitation of the Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge, where she gave a wide-ranging presentation on many aspects of the illness, including warning signs, myths about the disease, help for patients and caregivers, building dementia- friendly communities and the wide range of services and assistance provided by the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan.

“I’m a registered social worker and the First Link Coordinator for the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan,” says McFadden. “Our goal at the Alzheimer Society is to get involved with people early on and throughout the dementia journey.”

“We don’t just work with people with Alzheimer’s,” she says. “We work with people and families affected with all types of dementias. We have six resource centres in Saskatchewan and my office is in Weyburn, so right now, I’m working within the Sun Country Health Region.”

McFadden says there are several types of dementias in addition to Alzheimer’s disease, including frontal temporal dementia, vascular dementia, Lewy body disease, mixed dementia, and more.

“This is not an exhaustive list,” she says. “Dementia is actually an umbrella term that describes a set of disorders that affects the brain.”

“But dementia is not a normal part of aging. The exact mechanism of why it occurs is not known,” she says. “But the disease is irreversible.”

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive, degenerative brain disease. Age is the biggest risk factor for the illness, but dementias can affect younger people, too.

McFadden says that getting an early diagnosis from a general practitioner or neurologist is important, although she admits that can often be a challenging process.

And often other conditions - such as urinary tract infections, for example - can mimic dementia symptoms in older people.”

“Ideally, your GP will rule out other conditions, review and refer the individual to a neurologist, but that doesn’t always happen, for a number of reasons. That’s where the Alzheimer’s Society can help.”

McFadden says people with dementia often react emotionally because they no longer understand what’s going on around them.

“They can no longer function at the pace of their environment,” she says. “However, their long-term memory stays intact for most people, even well into the disease, while their short-term memory is gone early.”

McFadden said that among its many initiatives, the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan also focuses on caregiver support and building Dementia Friendly Communities.

“We need to set the person with dementia up for

success,” says McFadden. “People with dementia and their caregivers need support and compassion.

And although there is work going on right now to find a cure, currently in Canada, three out of four people know someone with dementia.”

“I encourage anyone with any questions or concerns to contact the Alzheimer Society,” she says.

“We have so many resources surrounding all aspects of the dementia journey - and that includes supports for caregivers.”

“I’m here; I’m local and I’m here to provide support,” says McFadden.

Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge founder Bertha Isleifson agrees, adding: “I’m really pleased that we were able to reach out in this way to the community. Throughout our area, we know that many of our family members, friends and neighbours are already dealing with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementias. Our goal is to support those people and their caregivers as best we can and I hope that the information that Karrie provided here tonight goes a long way towards helping them.”

Quote of the Week . . .

“Defeat is not the worst of failures.

Not to have tried is the true failure.”

- George Edward Woodberry

What you find while walking a dog

I don’t own a dog, but I was quite excited to be asked to stay at a friend’s house and take care of theirs for five days.

I absolutely love dogs, so this was something I jumped at. He’s quite the sweet pup. But, I quickly discovered taking care of a dog is quite a bit of work. In reality I knew it was, which is why Kelly Running I haven’t made the decision to Observer Staff put myself in a position in life to adopt one.

Growing up on the farm, dogs were pretty easy to take care of though. They stayed outside, you never had to walk them although they might join you for a walk, etc… basically you made their water bowl was full, they had food, and you spent time with them as you could. And we mostly had short haired dogs: a couple of Dobermans and a couple adopted from the SPCA, so they got to sleep in the porch. And cold days they got to come in, although they had an insulated dog house too.

Being on the farm, however, meant there were dangers. I wrote awhile ago about our one dog who used to terrorize coyotes was eventually killed by them. But one died from a bone.

A bone? Dogs love bones. Well, they definitely do, but not all bones are for dogs. She had gotten into something and the bone actually punctured her stomach. We were devastated. She was a beautiful Doberman – her tail had been docked but her ears had been left floppy. She was a sweetheart.

Flash forward to taking care of my friend’s dog. We were out walking and he pulled hard to go inspect this one area right by the road. I heard him crunch on something and immediately checked to see what he had in his mouth, which he wasn’t happy about when I plucked the rib out of his mouth. He let me take it then turned back and grabbed another. I did the same thing and had a look, it appeared someone had walked home with a few ribs from the restaurant and discarded them.

Yes, to those that are thinking it could have been a wild animal that left them there, it could have been.

But there were about three or four, all left in a line along the road within feet of each other. A pattern that isn’t likely for a wild animal to leave.

On our journey he also dragged me over to some empty ice cream dishes and other random garbage.

It’s all littering, which is bad for the environment, and it can all potentially be dangerous to animals – dogs and more. If a bone can splinter off and lodge in such a way it can puncture their throat or stomach, etc… then it could potentially do that in wild animals as well. All things that are driven be their instinct to live. I knew the bone was bad for him, so I took it away. He thought the bone was food so decided he should eat it.

So, although I don’t actually own an animal, I’d like to ask on behalf of all those that do, please refrain from tossing or giving bones to animals on the chance that it is one of the kinds that can splinter and puncture their digestive tract.

And in general, avoid littering. It too could potentially be dangerous to an animal – domesticated or wild – and it just looks terrible. It’s not the end of the world to carry it to a garbage can or wait until you get home to toss it. Trust me, I was picking up dog poop in a little baggy for a few days and they don’t always do their business next to a garbage can.

Being wary while wanting to be welcoming I was sitting in an Economics class in my first semester of university when a message was communicated to our Professor. He asked us to look under our desk for anything we hadn’t brought into the room and told us to collect our belongings and exit the building. There was some chatter and speculation and the words ‘bomb threat’ were used, but there was no panic. We got up and left Shelley Luedtke with little sense of urgency.

Security in public places has changed a great deal since then. Visit a major theme park, attend a professional sporting event or board a flight and you need to prepare for extra security checks. But quite honestly I’ve never felt there was a threat. I’ve stood at national monuments and densely populated tourist attractions. I’ve never wondered if someone in the crowd was intent on harm. I haven’t looked around to find the closest way out in case something were to happen. I’ve never questioned whether a vehicle driving near me was going to be used as a weapon or if someone would brandish a knife intent on creating as many victims as possible.

Or at least I never used to.

At a women’s world cup soccer game a couple of years ago the security presence was much greater than I expected. But then again I shouldn’t have been surprised. Much has changed. Years ago when we were asked to check under our desk for a suspicious package I never really believed anyone would find anything. Years later, between soccer games, members of the security team made a sweep through the stands and we were asked to identify all of our stuff.

Anything that couldn’t be accounted for as belonging to someone still in the seats was confiscated. I felt an unsettling sense of relief that someone was on top of potential threats.

A newsletter from a church in Chicago indicated its participation in “quiet discussions” concerning churches as soft targets for terrorism. They were told to review access points and ensure unlocked doors were monitored by church officials. They were encouraged to develop an emergency plan and to include the local police department in designing and implementing it. But the line in the article that broke my heart was: “Visitors should be welcomed warmly,

but we must be aware and cautious, evaluating their demeanour.”

Is this where we are at?

Awful attacks have occurred. Awful attacks have also been thwarted thanks to the extraordinary efforts of those involved in counter terrorism, and to that end the general public is often reminded to be observant eyes and ears in public places, and to report activity occurring in their neighbourhoods, work environment and places of worship that seem unusual or concerning. We are to be vigilant. Suspicious.

Behavioural scientists have long studied the concept of trust, and what factors limit or increase our trust of others. There are biological indicators including the role of hormones that impact the pleasure-seeking centres of our brains but there are also psychological, cultural and experiential factors at work. In other words, who we are and what we have experienced shapes our ability to trust and our inclination toward who we will or will not trust.

There is debate over what constitutes a terror attack. When is it terrorism? When is it a hate crime?

Or mass shooting? Experts look at method, motivation and intent as they determine its source. It’s important to intelligence gathering organizations but for most of us the end result is the same. We see the pictures and we read the names of those killed, the number wounded, and families and friends trying to understand what happened to the one they love.

As world leaders condemn yet another attack, or we wonder aloud when it is going to end, the sad reality is that attacks are being planned today and more recruits added to the ranks of those bent on terror.

And hate. And violence. Which is why the rest of us need to re-double our efforts.

Analysts have been saying “terror breeds terror.”

That being the case, we have work to do. Because kindness breeds kindness, generosity breeds generosity, compassion breeds compassion, and trust breeds trust. The issues giving rise to terror are complicated and the layers run deep. As we trust in the efforts of those countering terror around the globe, we may not think there is much we can do. But when it comes to hate, rancour, distrust and hostility we need to counter what we can, where we can, in our own little corner so that in the years to come whether it’s at concerts, restaurants, shopping malls or places of worship the protocol can end at “Visitors should be welcomed warmly.” That’s my outlook.

Throwing a party

We’re getting down to the nitty gritty now; I have so many lists on the go at the moment they could fill a notebook. Well, actually they do fill a notebook ... and at this stage of the game we’re doing our best to not miss any pages.

It’s kind of scary to throw a party - an outdoor party where Jocelyn Hainsworth the weather can wreak havoc on the first weekend of summer holidays when folks want to keep their plans loose and open-ended. Sure it’s the nation’s birthday, and a significant one at that, but that can be celebrated anywhere.

The truth is that there will be parties planned everywhere on July 1st. On the one hand this makes a party planner nervous because the competition for a crowd is stiff. On the other hand there’s a little comfort knowing that their planning committees are worrying about the same thing. What it comes down to is issuing your invitation to everyone and trying to think of lots of fun things to do so that people choose your party. There is absolutely nothing we can do about Mother Nature’s whims so we’ll carry on as if she’s on our side.

The tricky part is guessing the correct amount of food and beverages you need to serve a crowd the

size of which will be a mystery until it shows up. It’s not like we have an RSVP list to refer to. It’s just all a shot in the dark.

The invitation we are offering includes a pancake and sausage breakfast served by the Knights of Columbus from 8:00 till 11:00 and a slow pitch tournament going on all day. Things will really get going at 1:00 with a parade and lots of other things going on afterwards to keep people busy.

For the little kids there is a bouncy castle and the pool will be open to cool down. The Tourism committee has decided in honour of Canada’s 150th birthday we will be giving all the children their choice of a Canada themed sparkle tattoo – they are really cool and are supposed to last a week if you treat them right. We have also commissioned two new attractions to the Log Cabin – soon there will be face-in-the-hole picture boards so that visitors can be a part of souvenir photos. We also encourage the little kids to celebrate the day by dressing up in their Disney princess dresses or favourite super hero costumes. This is just for the fun of it and to give them an opportunity to wear fun clothes. It would be great to get a group photo, though, we’ll see what happens. Add to these things the new playground equipment and the Canada Day red and white freezie pops on sale at the canteen and we hope to make the day fun for little ones.

For the more mature crowd the Lions are running

a dunk tank – they have a bunch of hardy volunteers who either are confident no one can throw with any accuracy, or they know it’s going to be a beastly hot day and they welcome a refreshing splash from time to time. For those who want to cool down a different way there is always the beer garden.

And if you like your entertainment a little more cultured you can go check out the art display the Arts Council is putting together.

There will be music from 4:00 until 10:00 and the DJ has been asked to bring a karaoke machine too.

It’s important to practice so that everyone is in fine voice to sing Oh Canada when the birthday cake is served at 7:00.

But the tricky part is the food. There will be a canteen going on all afternoon with hot dogs and hamburgers, pop, water, and freezie pops ... but how much to order; that is the question. And it’s very important to note that the treat of the day will be a pig roast supper being put on by P&A Catering at 6:00. Tickets are already on sale at the Log Cabin – make sure you get yours!

And what would Canada Day be without a fireworks show to end it all off?

If all goes according to plan (or is that according to wish?) people will go home happy and tired, the food will be done but no one will leave hungry, and we will have a lot more experience at throwing a really big birthday party for next year!

Another cow day Well, another cow day has come and gone. It is nice to be done; we have been feeding a trailer load of bales a couple of times a week when we do our evening calf check and it is really getting old. On Saturday last weekend, we brought the entire herd in, vaccinated them and sent them off to their summer Krystyn Gillies pastures, and aside from tagging any new calves, we don’t have to worry about them until October.

We got a little later start than normal, but things really got going right before lunch. We had the whole family out along with a couple of friends to make things go by smoothly. I was pretty organized this year, aside from forgetting to double check the needle guns. When I was trying to fill a needle with serum, the silly thing started to leak and my dad found the problem.

The poor old things have been around since I was very small, but only getting used once or twice a year, eventually they gave out. I had to carry on the old-fashioned way by filling a small syringe each time with the vaccine.

We got a couple of cattle through the chute when the cutest thing happened. The toddler was sitting in a chair near her grandma and great-grandma, apparently observing everything, when she hopped out of her chair and grabbed a sorting stick. Personally, I figured she was going to poke her eye out, but what she did surprised me but also melted my heart.

She firmly walked over to the chute and stuck the end of the stick between the bars and lightly tapped the cow on the hip, just like she saw her daddy and papa do. A little girl after her mom’s heart. I was a little concerned how she would make out this year because she is too big to stick in the stroller and still too small to be left to her own devices to play.

She was fantastic all day; she played with the other kids there and chatted with the cows through the fence like it was her job. It was adorable and heart-warming all at once. I can’t wait for her to be big enough to help someday.

Later on, in the early evening, we had about twenty or thirty left to do when we decided we would order supper and have it brought out. We chatted about the different options and it was decided that pizza would be easiest. My mom brought out her piece of paper and began writing down all the different pizza’s that everyone wanted.

I explained to her the gluten free ones we need-

ed and she carefully wrote them down. Then as we worked, we figured out what everyone else wanted.

As this was happening, my brother came over to the head gate and observed the system I had in place.

Earlier on, my grandma zipped into town and bought a couple of new needle guns that are far more advanced than the ones we had before.

He picked one up and asked if grandma had just brought them, I told him that she had and I assumed the conversation was over. Just then, my brother’s friend mentioned me that he heard that one of the convenience store’s in town had gluten free crusts. I agreed and told him that was where we were ordering them from and said we got two gluten free ones.

I glanced back at my box full off needles and my brother stood there looking absolutely puzzled. He

Through the Lens Photo by Phil Reddekop

looked at the two needle guns, then at me, then back at the needle guns. Then with all seriousness, he looked at me and said, “These guns are gluten free?”

I looked at him completely confused and he gave me the exact same reaction. Then I realized what he had heard. He thought I was talking to him still about the needles, but I had assumed that conversation was done and started talking to his friend about pizza and my brother thought I was still talking to him. He couldn’t for the life of him, figure out why on earth these needle guns would be gluten free. Once it was all settled we laughed until tears came to our eyes.

I probably shouldn’t have written about this story, but it was too funny not to. If you are reading this, my dear brother, I am sorry, but maybe this way, I won’t have to tell everyone at your wedding. Wink, wink!

Carlyle’s Nathen Schmidt is now a member of the University of Regina Cougars wrestling team. The Gordon F. Kells grade 12 student has paralyed his status as a two-time (2016 and 2017) Saskatchewan High School Athletic Association (SHSAA) provincial wrestling champion and his over-90 percent academic average into a career with the Cougars, as well as conditional acceptance into the University’s Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies.

Cougars’ Head Coach Leo McGee says of Schmidt: “We are very excited about Nathen joining our program; we are a young and strong group and he is a great fit.”

65-kilogram class and was coached during his high school career by Monte McNaughton.

“I signed in early May with the Cougars,” says Schmidt. “But it wasn’t official until June 2. They ranked me as number one, so that feels good.

They’ve told me they have big plans for me, so I’m excited.”

Meeting - and exceeding - the expectations of himself and others is nothing new to Schmidt. In addition to maintaining a high academic average with a full course load and working at Carlyle Home Hardware, he has competed at the championship level in other sports - including football and martial arts.

And after wrestling for only two years - in grades 11 and 12 – he not only captured two provincial championships; he was also offered wrestling schol-

arships from both the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon.

“I picked Regina because it’s closer to home,” says Schmidt. “But I thought about that decision for weeks.”

“Everything with me and my (wrestling) style matches up with theirs,” he says of his decision to sign with the U of R. “And it’s the opportunity to be a starter.”

“I’m glad with the decision I’ve made,” adds Schmidt. “The coaches at the U of R treated me very well and even before school begins, they want me there as often as possible.”

“I’ve been given a lot of opportunities in my life,” he says. “I’ve always wanted to do big things and here’s my opportunity,” says Schmidt.

“I’ll do my best.”

Slim pickings for Vegas Golden Knights

By Bruce Penton The National Hockey League’s newest entry, Las Vegas Golden Knights, will have its roster stocked this week (June 21) but if this was a lake being stocked with fish, most of them are likely to be of the ‘throw‘em-back’ variety.

Each of the NHL’s 30 teams will lose a maximum of one player to the Golden Knights and there likely won’t be a true star among them.

Each club is allowed to protect seven forwards, three defencemen and one goalie (or eight skaters of any position plus one goalie).

Teams are also allowed to protect first- and second-year players, and a player under a notrade clause cannot be chosen by the Knights.

That leaves a plethora of third-line players, or secondrate defensemen. The Knights will also have access to the amateur draft (where they’ll pick sixth) and if owner Bill Foley gives general manager George McPhee enough cash, a few free agents might be lured to Sin City, too.

Assistant GM Brad McCrimmon recently discussed a variety of expansion draft scenarios, including an unlikely one that has the Knights emptying the bank to acquire a superstar to be the “face of the franchise” — such as an Alex Ovechkin.

Vegas, after all, is a city where stars thrive and for the Golden Knights to stand out among a crowd of bright lights, it might take an Ovechkin to garner some much needed publicity. Since McPhee and Ovechkin have a history together, such a scenario isn’t out of the question, but it would be costly to the

first-year club.

The Golden Knights have to adhere to the NHL salary cap, too, so one Ovechkin might put the team into a salary straightjacket when it came to the rest of the roster. A better approach might be a gaggle of young players who can grow with the team.

One must assume, too, that many NHL teams are going to have on the scrap heap players saddled with what they consider bad contracts.

Word around Winnipeg is that someone like Mathieu Perreault, Adam Lowry or Shawn Matthias might be the Jet lost, so it’s hard to envision the Golden Knights being immediately competitive with a roster consisting of players of that talent level. However, as the team is constructed piece by piece by piece (expansion draft by entry draft by free agency), it might not take the Golden Knights long to be competitive.

The NHL’s three most recent expansion teams (Columbus Blue Jackets, Minnesota Wild, Atlanta — now Winnipeg Jets — Thrashers) have yet to drink from the Stanley Cup and they’re closing in on 20 years of existence. The dice is likely to roll for the Knights’ in similar fashion.

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “Tim Tebow homered again last week. At home plate he was greeted by his teammates and 20 members of the media who high-fived him.”

• Alan Shipnuck of SI.com, answering readers’ questions: Q: ”If heat index is forecasted over 100, should pros be allowed to wear shorts?

A. No. Why? Three

words: Colt Knost’s legs.”

• Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe. com: “ESPN reported that a Golden State sweep in the NBA finals would have cost the Warriors’ owners more than $22 million for games not played at Oracle. ‘I feel so sorry for them,’ said nobody.”

• Dickson again: “Ex-Husker Randy Gregory reportedly failed a drug test for the seventh time in the NFL. One more and he’s removed from the league permanently and becomes a member of the Grateful Dead.”

• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Pittsburgh police arrested a Nashville Predators fan for throwing a catfish onto the ice, then later dropped all charges.

Poetic justice — he was caught and released.”

• Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “Love ‘NBC’ Stanley Cup coverage, but would someone pull the stick out of Mike Milbury’s butt and see if it carbon dates back to Noah’s Ark?” • Headline at SportsPickle.com: “Report: Colin Kaepernick now so heavily involved in charity work that he’s close to signing with the Jets.”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Iowa’s baseball team under coach Rick Heller has won 141 games the past four seasons — the best four-year run in program history. Or as the hot stretch is now known around Iowa City, Heller high water.”

• Comedy writer Tim Hunter, on a study claiming most divorces happen in March and August: “That does pave the way for being able

to watch all of March Madness and the start of the NFL season.”

• RJ Currie again, after golfer Michael Buttacavoli had to withdraw from U.S. Open qualifying because American Airlines lost his clubs: “It could have been worse: United would have thrown them off the plane.”

2 Canadian treasures CANADA: NATURAL SOURCE OF PRIDE SINCE 1867

ICE HOCKEY: A NATIONAL PASTIME, A NATIONAL PASSION On March 3, 1875, two teams of nine players faced off on the ice at Victoria Skating Rink in Montreal. It was the world’s first organized indoor ice hockey game—and a defining moment in Canadian history. Following the landmark event, our country went on to develop the sport by outlining gameplay rules, creating the first hockey clubs, establishing leagues and introducing one very important trophy: the Stanley Cup. While precursors of hockey existed for centuries, it evolved into a sport in Canada. It’s believed that ball-and-stick sports played on ice were brought to the North American colonies by French, British, Scottish and Irish settlers, who had their own informal versions of such games.

One of these versions was called Shinny, a term that’s still used today to indicate a type of loosely Girls’ Hockey Team in Gore Bay, Ontario, 1921. Credit: Library and Archives Canada/PA-074583 regulated ice hockey. Shinny was played early on in Halifax, Quebec and Montreal—cities important to hockey’s evolution.

Lord Stanley of Preston (the Governor General of Canada at the end of the 19th century) was impressed by the sport of hockey when he attended his first match at the Montreal Winter Carnival. Interested in the development of the sport, he purchased a silver bowl to be used as a trophy to award to the best team in Canada. In 1893, the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup was presented for the first time to that year’s winning team, the Montreal Hockey Club.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a number of hockey leagues existed across Canada. However, only one would evolve into the multi-billion dollar franchise that the NHL is today. In 1910, the National Hockey Association was formed in Montreal, but by 1917 it had expanded into the U.S. and reorganized as the National Hockey League.

Hockey was officially made Canada’s national winter sport in 1994. However, it’s been touted as a national pastime and passion for much longer, with major wins and losses inciting both fervour and riots in Canada since the 1950s. But where did it all start? That’s still up for debate. While Montreal, Windsor (Nova Scotia) and Kingston (Ontario) all claim to be the birthplace of ice hockey, none have been able to produce conclusive evidence that would settle the matter once and for all. The origin of the word “hockey,” however, is a bit more clear-cut: most experts agree that it’s derived from the French word for shepherd’s crook, “hoquet,” referring to the shape of the stick.

Cliché or not, there’s no denying that hockey has had a large influence on Canadian culture. When that first organized game took place back in 1875, Canada wasn’t even a decade old. As the nascent nation expanded and its population grew, a shared passion for hockey helped unite Canadians from one coast to the other.

FIRST NATIONS OF CANADA

For thousands of years, First Nations populated the vast territory we now call Canada. This was not a single homogenous group but a diversity of nations, each with its own distinct social organization, system of government, and cultural customs. More than 50 languages were spoken, and the population prior to European contact is generally estimated to be around 500,000 (though some historians consider this an overly conservative figure).

The impact of colonization on Canada’s first peoples was devastating. European settlers brought with them European diseases—smallpox, tuberculosis and others— against which First Nations individuals had no immunity.

Many scholars believe that more than 50 per cent of the original native population perished from diseases alone. In addition, the introduction of alcohol and firearms had a profound effect on Canada’s original inhabitants.

Many First Nations groups ultimately ceded their lands to European colonizers in exchange for reserve lands on which they could live and hunt. However, over time, many of these treaties were broken and the essential rights and freedoms of First Nations were violated in the various attempts to assimilate them within Canadian culture. In particular, the endemic abuses committed through the residential school system left scars from which many First Nations are still recovering.

Today, the Canadian government and First Nations groups (the current population rests at just under 1.5 million individuals who identified as having North American Indian heritage in the last National Household Survey) are moving towards reconciliation. Self-government has been granted to various First Nations bands and communities, compensation has been delivered for a number of past abuses, and a formal apology has been issued to all former students of residential schools.

QUEBEC BIRD: GREAT GREY OWL In 1987, the snowy owl became the official avian emblem of Quebec. This sub-species mainly subsists on lemmings and, unlike other owls, is not strictly nocturnal, hunting both during the day and at night. Its preferred habitat tends be north of the 60th parallel, but it’s occasionally spotted in more southern locations.

Please contact me at 306-495-888 and let me know if you have any news.

Manor Drama Club presents “Check Please” Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Manor School Drama Club hosted an absolutely side-splitting rendition of Jonathan Rand’s short comedy, “Check Please,” on Wednesday, June 7.

In addition to the play, the School Community Council organized a supper which many took part in prior to the start of the show.

The cast of the play included Kyle B., Desiree R., Trista K., Destiny R., Hannah L., Vincent S., Cooper F., Jennifer W., Shaylynne E., Aiza W., and Elizabeth M. The play had more roles than actors, so the cast relied on their costumes and talent to portray different characters throughout the evening.

The very funny play takes a look at the worst blind dates you could go on. From someone not paying attention to anything you say or do… including choking, while an individual at a neighbouring table saves the girl’s life, to a kleptomaniac who slowly places everything on the table in her bag and runs off at the end taking everything, including the tablecloth with her.

It was a comical undertaking, which the cast was able to pull off flawlessly, bringing roaring laughter to reverberate off of the gym walls.

The Manor Drama Club hosted a dinner theatre on Wednesday, June 7. The hilarious production of “Check Please,” by Jonathan Rand was enjoyed by many. Not in order: (Cast) Kyle B., Desiree R., Trista K., Destiny R., Hannah L., Vincent S., Cooper F., Jennifer W., Shay-lynne E., Aiza W., Elizabeth M., (Crew) Kara B., Caydence C., and Micheline B. The play wouldn’t have been possible without those behind the scenes including the crew: Kara B., Caydence C., and Micheline B. Director, Korinn Riddell, said that she is continually impressed by the youth who, may be a small cast, continue to put on fantastic shows each year. They put in a lot of effort and are quite the talented, caring bunch; which

helps younger students just starting feel comfortable in their new endeavour.

Riddell also thanked everyone else who helped to make the performance possible from those that donated set pieces, costumes, etc…

Overall it was an entertaining evening, which was enjoyed by all in attendance.

“Check Please” looks at a few of the worst blind dates someone could go on… here a gentleman (Kyle B.) attempts to ask a kleptomaniac (Destiny R.) to stop stealing, as she places a vase of flowers in her purse. She wheels on him angrily saying he shouldn’t make such accusations and leaves, but not before taking the table cloth with her.

Scar On My Heart: Teagan Littlechief’s affecting anthem Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Although she will sing ‘O Canada’ for thousands at the Saskatchewan Roughriders July 1st game in Regina’s new Mosiac Stadium and this winter, performed the U.S. national anthem perfectly before the final playoff game between the Regina Pats and the Seattle Thunderbirds, Teagan Littlechief says her latest single, ‘Scar On My Heart’ holds a special place in her heart – and she hopes in the hearts of her listeners. “ David Joseph - who wrote ‘Scar On My Heart’ is a songwriter from Kitchener, Ontario,” says Littlechief. “ I met him during Canadian Country Music Week in London, Ontario in 2016. I asked him if he had any material and when I checked out his work, I kept going back to ‘Scar.’”

“Musically, it’s got kind of a Faith Hill/Martina McBride vibe, but really, what affected me most was the song’s lyrics,” she says. “I wasn’t the only artist who wanted to record ‘Scar On My Heart’ but I was able to convince David what I could do with it and I got the song!”

“It’s one of those very special songs and it’s going to be entered in the Indigenous Music Awards in 2018 as well as the Saskatchewan Country Music Awards and the Canadian Country Music Awards, also in 2018.”

“But really, it’s such a

special song that strikes a chord in everybody,” adds Littlechief. “David’s daughter was in the hospital and that experience - and the people he met there - inspired him to write the song.”

“When I recorded it, I had gone through the loss of my dad, Russell Standingready. So a lot of it’s because of my daddy.

I was also thinking of the missing and murdered Indigenous women and children in this country.

When I talked to David about the song, we came to the conclusion that everybody has a scar on their heart; everybody’s been through something.

But at the end of the day, there’s a new sunrise, too.”

Singer Littlechief and songwriter Joseph embarked on a radio tour in Ontario in support of the song and the road trip proved her point.

“When ‘Scar On My heart’ came out, it was literally a last minute decision by Debbie Wood - my publicist in Toronto - to have us visit radio stations throughout southern Ontario in support of the song and we found that it touched a pretty universal feeling in everyone we talked to,” says Littlechief.

“It’s a really touching song and one that I’m proud and honoured to be able to sing to people.”

Littlechief has recently been honoured in the sporting world, too, singing the Canadian anthem periodically throughout this year’s Regina Pats

Pet Hotel In Home Pet Sitting Doggie Daycare Dog Walking House Sitting Tracy Beaulieu (306)575-9950

hockey team’s recordbreaking season and being asked to sing the American anthem during the team’s final playoff game against the Seattle Thunderbirds.

“It was the Pats’ final game in the Brandt Centre in Regina,” she says.

“It was a packed building and the crowd was really excited. The arena was filled from top to bottom, so it was more than packed. I’d sung for the Pats before, but this was a playoff game. A lot of people remark about the American national anthem being difficult to sing, but really, I think it’s fun.”

“Of course, I wore a Pats jersey, but I had to stay neutral, because Ethan Bear plays for Seattle. We solved it by my son Gabriel wearing some Seattle stickers on his face. I had my jersey so we represented both teams,” she smiles.

“Gabriel’s five-yearsold and every time I sang at the Brandt Centre this year, he came out with me and sat in the penalty box,” says Littlechief.

“Now, whenever we’re in Regina and we drive by the Brandt Centre or Mosaic Stadium, he says: ‘Are we going to sing?’”

Although she’s previously sang ‘O Canada’

before Saskatchewan Roughriders games, Littlechief has been asked to sing the national anthem at the team’s July 1st showdown against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

“It’ll be my first time singing in the new stadium,” says Littlechief.

“So that’s really exciting.

When I sing in front of a big crowd like that in a big venue, it’s still nervewracking until I get a few lines in and then I’m good.”

“I’ll also be singing for Canada’s 150th in downtown Regina this summer and I might be hitting the road again for another radio tour in

support of ‘Scar On My Heart’ - this time in Saskatchewan.”

“But no matter where I’m singing or who I’m singing for, the most gratifying thing for me as an artist is knowing that I have a positive impact on people and knowing that my performance has touched someone,” she says.

“And ‘Scar On My Heart’ is a song that will help me continue to do that.”

Here, a few members of the 80-strong Manor School student body jump for joy at the school’s annual Summer Fun Day, held Friday, June 9.

Teacher Nancy Parker says: “Watching the older students interact with the young students during school events like Fun Day is absolutely wonderful – the care they make to make sure each and every student feels like an intergral part of the team is obvious. That’s why our school feels like a family.”

The Arcola School’s annual elementary sports day was held on Friday, June 2. The organizers were forced to adapt quickly as thunderstorms circled the southeast for the day, which included the first hail of the season. The grade nines helped facilitate the track day – here three young ladies operate the long jump.

“There is nothing more beautiful than finding your course as you believe you bob aimlessly in the current. Wouldn’t you know that your path was there all along, waiting for you to knock, waiting for you to become. This path does not belong to your parents, your teachers, your leaders, or your lovers. Your path is your character defining itself more and more everyday like a photograph coming into focus.”

“My favorite animal is the turtle. The reason is that in order for the turtle to move, it has to stick its neck out. There are going to be times in your life when you’re going to have to stick your neck out. There will be challenges and instead of hiding in a shell, you have to go out and meet them.”

- WESTHEIMER

“Take action. Every story you’ve ever connected with, every leader you’ve ever admired, every puny little thing that you’ve ever accomplished is the result of taking action. You have a choice. You can either be a passive victim of circumstance or you can be the active hero of your own life.”

“You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You can’t get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you’re doing, but what you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover will be yourself.”

It’s harder to build than destroy. To build is to engage and change. In jazz, we call progressing harmonies changes. Changes are like obstacles on a speed course. They demand your attention and require you to be present. They are coming...they are here..... and then they are gone. It’s how life comes. Each moment is a procession from the future into the past and the sweet spot is always the present. Live in that sweet spot. Be present.

“Thankfully dreams can change. If we’d all stuck with our first dream, the world would be overrun with cowboys and princesses. So whatever your dream is right now, if you don’t achieve it, you haven’t failed, and you’re not some loser. But just as importantly—and this is the part I may not get right and you may not listen to—if you do get your dream, you are not a winner.”
