Orange Shirt Day: A day to remember and reflect on the affects of Residential Schools in Canada Kelly Running Observer Staff

People across Canada participated in The Orange Shirt Campaign – Every Child Matters, on Friday, Sept. 30. The day developed as a way to recognize and remember the experiences of Residential School survivors and honours the commitment to reconciliation needed.

Beginning in the mid-1800s and continuing until the late 1990s First Nations children were taken from their communities and placed in Residential Schools. They were run by religious orders in conjunction with the federal government.

Children as young as four-years-old were simply taken to attend school. Scared and alone they were prohibited from speaking their language or practicing their culture. A small but significant act included the cutting of the students’ hair. It had been that long hair was a source of pride, it was only cut if a loved one had passed away, but at school it was simply taken and they mourned for their own lives.

Over 150,000 children were forced into attending these schools and experienced sexual, mental, and physical abuse.

The affects of these experiences endured and still linger in First Nations communities.

Although assimilation was attempted, it was never fully achieved, and there has now been an effort to revive languages and cultural practices amongst First Nation peoples.

The campaign originated in British Columbia three years ago, but has now spread to other provinces and territories.

Why an orange shirt?

For Phyllis (Jack) Webstad it was a memory from her first day of school at Williams Lake Residential School in B.C. in 1973. She had been living with her grandmother on the Dog Creek reserve, had just turned six-years-old, and was allowed to pick out a new outfit to go to school in. Her family never had much money, but she remembers the orange shirt perfectly: “It had string laced up in front, and was so bright and exciting – just like I felt to be going to school!” – she writes on the Orange Shirt Day website.

When Webstad arrived at the school her clothes were taken, including that orange shirt. She couldn’t understand how they could simply take it away from her and the colour, throughout her life, then reminded her feeling like she was worthless: “All of us little children were crying and no one cared,” she continues in her story.

Her experiences were carried with her and it wasn’t until she was 27-years-old that she sought to embark on a healing journey. She writes, “I finally get it, that the feeling of worthlessness and insignificance, ingrained in me from my first day at the mission, affected the way I lived my life for many years.

OBSERVED AT - Fairlight’s Annual Pumpkin Weigh-In!

Halloween Pumpkin Carving Ideas Cannibalistic Pumpkin Carving Tutorial: STEP 1: The first thing you want to do before setting out on this is to get the proper tools and items.

This includes the following: 1. Large Pumpkin 2. Tiny Pumpkin 3. Washable Marker 4. Large Knife

5. Smaller Steak Knife 6. Large Spoon 7. Small Spoon

STEP 2: Take your washable marker and draw out the face on the big pumpkin. Make sure to measure the circumfrence of the tiny pumpkin and make the the mouth that you sketch on the big pumpkin large enough to hold that size.

STEP 3: Grab your large knife and cut a hole in the top of the large pumpkin for the cap. Take the cap off and set it to the side.

STEP 4: Get your children involved by having them scoop out the insides. Kids love this part.

STEP 5: Once you get all the seeds and innards out, then get your spoon and scrape out the extra stuff that clings to the side.

When you are done, your pumpkin should have a smooth inside all the way around. Nice and clean.

STEP 6: Take out your large knife and cut a hole inside where the mouth is going to be.

STEP 10: Now follow the same techniques you just learned for the eyes. You should have the hang of it now.

Create the hole, carve it out to the lines you drew in. For the eyes, skin them like you did the teeth.

STEP 7: Get your smaller steak knife and start trimming off pieces, making the hole bigger and bigger as you go. The reason you are doing this is that you will be constantly cutting and then trying to place your tiny pumpkin into the hole so that it will fit snugly inside.

STEP 8: When you have the hole for the mouth done and you have tested that the tiny pumpkin fits perfectly, then it’s time for the skinning of the teeth.

See where the knife is in the photo below. You want your knife to go into this area between the meat and the skin of the pumpkin. Start shoving your knife in between very carefully as shown.

Begin cutting this way, taking off little pieces of the skin, while leaving the meat of the pumpkin intact. You are basically slowly shaving off pieces of the pumpkin’s skin. This is a delicate process, so take your time. This isn’t like using a computer where you can CTRL+Z (undo) if you make a mistake, so be careful not to trim too much. Keep skinning the rest of the teeth until you have removed all the skin covering.

STEP 9: The next part takes patience as well. Go in and begin carving out the teeth. It shouldn’t be too difficult to do, since the texture is wet and easier to cut out than the skin was.

STEP 11: Grab the tiny pumpkin and do the exact same thing as you did with the big pumpkin, except don’t cut a hole in the top.

Instead, make the mouth big, so you can scoop out all the insides through the mouth.

FINAL STEP: Take the tiny pumpkin and put it inside the big pumpkin’s mouth. If there is any pen marks from the initial sketch you made, take a wet paper towel and wipe them off.

Caring for animals: Moose Mountain Wildlife R n R a place of compassion for injured wildlife Kelly Running Observer Staff

For the past decade, Cheryl Winkler has dedicated her life to saving the lives of animals. From mice to moose, Winkler’s heart is filled when an animal that is brought to her to nurse back to health reaches the mo-

ment it can be released back into the wild.

Yet, her heart breaks a little as not every animal can be saved despite her best efforts.

It’s a calling she’s been answering since she was a young girl when she was asked by a conservation officer to care for three little raccoons.

Cheryl Winkler has dedicated 10 years to the rehabilitation of injured wild animals. Here, the aptly named Phoenix – a bald eagle, was rescued last fall. The animal survived after becoming entangled in a snare trap. The trapper brought Phoenix to Cheryl as soon as he was found, initially the trapper thought the animal, which was caught by the neck, had died, but there was movement in one eye.

The Moose Mountain Recoup and Release, which is located on the border of the Moose Mountain Provincial Park, is a non-profit organization. On Saturday, Oct. 1, the second annual Moose Mountain Gone Wild Fundraiser was hosted at the Red Market Barn where numerous people who believe in the work that Winkler is doing attended.

With door prizes, silent and live auction items, a 50/50 draw, and entertainment the evening was a success.

“I’ve been doing this for 10 years now and I could not do it without all of you,” Winkler explained. “We’ve had our ups and downs this year, a few bumps in the road this season, but we’ve rose up to meet them, much like Phoenix our eagle that we took in last year and released last fall.

He had been caught in a snare and thought to be dead, but he wasn’t, and he made a full recovery.”

“I couldn’t do this all by myself, it’s a whole community that has reached out to help me do what I do.”

“It’s been one of our heaviest years this year with over 100 animals intaken and of that 75 percent were non-predators.

Everybody deserves a chance and we’ll take anything in, even a mouse. If someone has the compassion to bring it to me I will do everything I can to see it through and release.”

Winkler took the time to present and thank four volunteers who have been integral this summer, her husband, and everyone who has shown support for what she does.

The evening included entertainment by Lorri Solomon-Matthewson, Chris Byrne, and Wool Tree Grove (Aaron and Jacquie Walbaum). Both Solomon-Matthewson and the Walbaums spoke of how they came to meet Cheryl. For Solomon-Matthewson, an injured sparrow in need of help brought them together, while the Walbaums came across a baby raccoon that they brought to Cheryl last year.

Costs vary for the rehab depending on what type of animals Winkler is working with. Costs range from $10 a week for a duckling to $200 a week for a moose. Each species requires a specific formula, which contains different levels of fats and proteins in it, which corresponds to the type of animal she is caring for and what they need in their diet.

The fundraising evening brought in approximately $14,000 before expenses.

From Horses to Horseshoes: Stew Lawrence pitches his way to the podium Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Throughout his life, Kennedy native Stew Lawrence has gone from horses to horseshoes- and has earned a gold medal along the way.

Lawrence-who now lives at Kenosee Lake- recently pitched his way to the podium in August at the Canadian Horseshoe Pitching Championships in Saanich, B.C. The 87-year-old was awarded the gold medal in his division at the national event, which hosted 162 competitors of all ages from across Canada.

Lawrence grew up on a ranch near Kennedy and says that horses-and horseshoes- have always played a part in his life.

“I was born on the place,” he says of the ranch.

“We had cattle and horses and later, I raised PMU mares. I really got more into pitching horseshoes when I retired, but I really can’t remember exactly when I started. They were always around and when I was younger, horseshoes were always played at country picnics. They were a big thing then.”

Lawrence is modest about his medal-winning avocation and when asked, says he doesn’t remember being particularly talented as a horse shoe pitcher as a child, adding he “really got into it once I retired.”

“I joined the Whitewood club more than 10 years ago,” he says. “Even in Kennedy, there were horseshoe pits in the curling rink years ago, but that was before I really got started. But I guess it was always around me, even back then.”

“It’s good exercise and it’s a good sport,” adds Lawrence. “We practice once a week in Whitewood and it takes a lot of practice. I’ve got pits here behind the Four Seasons in Kenosee Village. As soon the snow’s gone, I’m out there throwing.”

In order to qualify for the national event in B.C., Lawrence had to attend at least four tournaments and amass enough points to make the province’s team roster. Throughout the season, he travelled to tournaments throughout the province- at his home club in Whitewood, as well as in Manitou Beach and North Battleford, to name two.

“I went to the Western Classic in Manitou this summer,” says Lawrence. “It was a two-day tournament and there were teams from B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan competing there.”

“I’ve been to three national tournaments,” he adds. “The first one was in Saskatoon, the second one was in Calgary in 2014 and now, this one in in Saanich, hosted by the Greater Victoria club.”

“In Saskatoon, I didn’t do so good. I only came in third or fourth place. In Calgary, I came in second place and with this one, I came in first.”

In Lawrence’s age group-the senior divisioncompetitors aged 65 and over must pitch horseshoes a distance of 30 feet.

Lawerence is right-handed and says that beyond his regular practice regime and competition schedule, there are “no special exercises. Some guys wear gloves, but I don’t.”

“There are a few rules, though. You can’t wear open-toed shoes and going into the national, they weigh your horseshoes.”

“My tournament (horse)shoes are a brand called M & M. I’ve had them for years. I only take two shoes to tournaments. Some people take a lot more, because even though they’re made of iron, they can break. But mine have been hitting the posts so long, I don’t worry about it,” he laughs.

“And they go in the checked baggage, you can’t take them on the plane with you.”

“This year, there were a total of 18 competitors on Team Saskatchewan,” says Lawrence. “We were all ages and on opening day we all wore (Saskatchewan) Roughrider stuff. Green hair, green everything.”

“We brought back three champions from Saskatchewan out of Saanich,” he says. “Another senior from Regina and Colin Finnie, who I call the ‘Main Man.’ Seniors like me throw 30 feet, but guys like him who are under 65, have to throw 40

“He’s won a lot of titles, but really, for most of us, the competition can go any way. There’s talent from all of the provinces. Quebec and B.C. both have pretty strong teams. I remember when I was playing in Calgary, a guy from New Brunswick-I couldn’t conquer him. I came second that year. I lost two games and they were both to him.”

“In B.C., the tournament ran from August 16 to 20th,” says Lawrence. “On the first day, I played five games back-to-back, the next day, four games, and on the final day, four games. On the last daySaturday- we had a banquet and were presented with our medals.”

“It was great to win,” Lawrence says when asked about his trip to the podium. “But the best thing about the game is the people in it. It’s a good sport, and you never see bad sportsmanship. You get to know guys from the other provinces and they’re all good people.”

“It’s a seniors’ sport, too. All ages play, but I know a guy from Moosomin who’s 95-years-old.

He plays in our tournament in Whitewood, so you don’t have to quit if you’re 90,” he laughs.

“In B.C., our club in Whitewood was approved to host the nationals in 2018. We’ll be looking for volunteers,” says Lawrence, adding that it’s a good chance to see what the sport is all about.

“I’m really looking forward to that,” he says.

“As I said, it’s a good sport and I know our club will do a good job of hosting.”

“All of the time, I’ve been doing this, I’ve been enjoying it. Win or lose, I don’t really care, but I’ve got to be in the game.”

Moose Mountain Lions Club golfs for Greenspace Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

The Moose Mountain Lions Club held their seventh annual golf tournament Saturday, Oct. 1 at Golf Kenosee, with 80 golfers teeing off at the club’s largest yearly fundraiser.

The day began with a pancake breakfast and the Moose Mountain Church of Christ in Kenosee Village and ended with a supper and social the Kenosee Rec Hall.

“It’s our biggest fundraiser,” says the club’s outgoing president, Kent Sauter. “It’s a good way to end the summer and it will help support our greenspace project in the (Kenosee) village, which will have an outdoor rink, a playground, picnic area, and walking trails.”

“Our members are mostly people

who are right here in Kenosee and we have some Lions Club members from Langbank, too,” says Sauter.

“But we’re always looking for new members and anyone who would like to join our club can get in touch with any of Moose Mountain Lions.”

Sauter says helping with the planned greenspace is the club’s largest and most ambitious project so far.

“We partner with the community a lot,” he says. “And as for the greenspace, it will start as soon as we get the funding. We’re still surveying the land.”

“We’ll also be holding our fall community clean-up soon and our next event will be our Open Mic night, so we’re looking forward to those, too.”

Quote of the Week . . .

“To err is human; to forgive, divine.

- Alexander Pope

How to move forward?

The other day I was out and about, it was Orange Day, so we were talking about Residential Schools. After listening to a Residential School survivor, I was asked, “How do you feel about what happened?”

I had thought about how I felt before, but had Kelly Running never put into words how it Observer Staff made me feel to a Residential School survivor… I simply began shaking my head, I immediately had a difficult time putting into words how I felt, but eventually came out with, “I hate that it happened.” My eyes welled up and I apologized for becoming emotional, I hadn’t meant to tear up, it just kind of happened, but she kindly thanked me for the few that dropped and gave me a hug.

It seems bizarre. I was a child myself when the residential schools were finally closed.

I had no say in whether we had Residential Schools in Canada or not, but I was raised to see Canada as being a place of acceptance and freedom. That you could be whoever you are and express yourself in whatever ways you wanted to as long as you weren’t hurting someone else by doing so.

But, despite being raised to know an accepting Canada, it bothers me that the nation I identify with could have done something so atrocious and it have been done so recently.

All countries, all nations have a dark past in some form, but for Canada and the Residential Schools… the 1990s weren’t that long ago.

It upsets me to think of the mental, physical, and sexual abuse that occurred in the Residential Schools and it doesn’t sit well with me that kids were ripped from their families and attempted to be assimilated. To erase who an entire people are.

I told the individual I was speaking with: “I hate that children were ripped from their families. I hate that it was done to make an entire people feel like they weren’t wanted, that they were unimportant because everyone is important and has something to offer to the world.

I honestly hate that its legacy is now left for us to fix because how do you fix a relationship that is so broken?”

I guess the answer to that starts with events like Orange Shirt Day, by bringing awareness to the atrocities which took place in Residential Schools.

These feelings of worthlessness and unimportance endure amongst many who attended Residential Schools. In turn their thoughts and feelings, which were learned in those Residential Schools are passed onto younger generations. Supports need to be put in place to help restore First Nations’ languages and cultures.

We need to move forward together, but it is difficult to really say how that should be done.

Ultimately being open and kind to each other, treating someone with respect and kindness, and learning about this history is a start at least and Orange Shirt Day offers a discussion topic for people to address the infamous legacy of Residential Schools.

Ultimately we all need to work together towards a common goal. We need to be open minded and find a way to move forward as an entire people.

Glue guns and crayons and riibbons... oh my

Our teacher asked us to bring catalogues for an art project in which our fourth grade hands carefully folded every single page from the bottom corner to the middle and then ensuring a sharp crease held it in place. We attached a carefully cut out neck and head to the spine of the catalogue to create a colourful turkey, just in time for Thanksgiving. It took several Shelley Luedtke art periods to get all the folding done to create the fullness our teacher felt the turkeys needed. Fold. Crease. Turn the page. Fold. Crease. Turn the page.

I don’t enjoy doing arts and crafts projects--often. Oh how I appreciate the craftsmanship behind those that do, but I don’t enjoy it. Yet every once in a while I get inspired and talk myself into trying something new. Or someone else talks me into it.

During a stay at my mom’s place in BC one year we shopped at several caft stores and I became very taken with a piece that was on display. It was angel vine garland in loosely tiered circles, covered in moss and dotted with subtle ribbon accents.

I knew exactly the spot I wanted to put it in my house, but the price tag made me think twice. So my sister--who has talent for things like this--says, “Let’s go to a craft supply store and get what we need and you can make one.” Sure. I’ll make one.

And then I’ll bring about world peace and an end to global hunger.

Bag full of supplies in hand, we returned to my mom’s place where I was given a lesson in hot glue gun etiquette and shown the first step. Over the next days I painstakingly glued colourful moss in place. The process was so slow I became convinced Kelly Running Editor Reporter/Photographer

Office: 306-453-2525 Fax: 306-453-2938 observer@sasktel.net

the garland was growing overnight. When my sister popped in to visit she would grab the glue gun and speed up the progress around the tiers and when she left--so was I--left to my own devices to try and keep the momentum going.

Side-by-side the original it may not have compared, but the completed project hung in our home until redecorating resulted in its eventual removal.

In its own way it was quite a remarkable object to me; not because it had any particular value, but because it represented what could be done with the right stuff, helpful advice and genuine encouragement.

Storage tubs of decorations can be found in our home for just about every holiday of the year. New items were added when our children brought home arts and crafts projects reflective of the season. So this time of year we smile at the fall wreaths made from tiny handprints, rudimentary drawings of cornucopias, or poems sprung from the imagination of little ones learning how to describe what they were thankful for. Their value isn’t determined by the colour palette or the beauty of the finished project…it is, after all, merely construction paper, paint and crayons. What make these projects quite remarkable is that our girls were given the materials, advice and encouragement to create something entirely original from their growing hands and developing minds.

Which should be a lesson to us all. Whether we are putting paint to canvas, crease to paper, or glue to moss, the important thing is that we do it. It matters little if our project resembles others of the same kind, or even if others find it pleasing. To not give new things a try is to deprive ourselves of the surprise that comes when good ideas, advice and encouragement combine to create something the world hasn’t seen yet.That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

Driverless cars and Who’s in the driver seat? drivers that know Self interest and self-driving vehicles what they’re doing Lynne Bell ing effectively out of control while in the “driver’s Observer Staff

Kelly Running Observer Staff

A driverless car… technology savvy people are probably extremely excited about this direction that automobiles are headed, but I must say when Lynne brought the subject up to me I thought about the implications and decided I was against driverless cars.

Automatically my mind wandered to how electronics in vehicles already malfunction. Currently I need to take my truck in to have my tire monitoring system checked out as it’s popped up on my dash. I’ve taken the air pressure of each tire and they’re all good, so something just isn’t working in the system of my truck at the moment.

But, what happens when the automobile is literally in charge of itself and something goes wrong? Legislation right now says that a qualified driver still has to be behind the wheel ready to take over, I guess similar to being in the combine with GPS, you get to basically monitor things and turn at the ends of the field.

However, cars are a little bit different in the sense that they are more easily stolen than a combine. So, someone adept in computer programming could essentially develop a code to hack or upload a virus to your car. It just seems more open to issues.

Most vehicles have power windows now, but what happens if you hit the ditch and it’s filled with water? Your electrical wiring can be short circuited and there’s no way to open the window after that… what do you do? Apparently your head rest pops off and you can use the metal posts to break the window or you can buy a keychain tool to break the window. But, in vehicles without electric windows… you could still roll down the window with the hand crank.

So, a driverless car worries me because what if something happens to it and the person behind the wheel is intoxicated or doesn’t know how to handle themselves on a certain type of road. You always hear of people on grid or dirt roads that lose control. With self-driving cars you’d be less likely to practice driving and more likely to make a mistake in the case of you having to take over the wheel.

I can’t say I’d trust it, but then again I trust my driving skills. When learning to drive my dad always made my sister and I jump into the driver’s seat and go. We lived with grid roads all around and he had us driving on them after freezing rain, through snow and ice, and mud. On roads freshly graded and on ones that have high ridges and tire tracks to follow. You have to be aware of how you react in each scenario and I don’t know if I would trust an automobile to handle all of that for me.

Vehicles today can also detect if the car in front of you has slowed down and in turn it brakes on its own. But what happens when you rely on it and it fails? Technology isn’t perfect and neither are humans, but I feel as though humans need to be adept at handling those situations and courses should be offered on how to drive in all types of weather conditions.

So, if we want to go with driverless cars, I’m ultimately not against it, but I do feel that the humans sitting behind the wheel are in need of more training and need to understand how to drive regardless of what their car can do.

I have a confession to make: I am, by nature, a nervous driver. Although age and experience have (somewhat!) tempered this tendency, I have always joked that I couldn’t care less about a ride in a Bentley or a Rolls, but I sure wouldn’t mind having a driver at my disposal.

So when I first heard of driverless cars, and later actually saw a few tootling along-in the heart of Silicon Valley, no less-I thought my directionally-challenged self (who also suffers from a parallel- parking phobia) had hit the proverbial jackpot.

Sooo... bring ‘em on!

However, on closer examination, there are a few factors which cause even yours truly to dial down my initial enthusiasm a bit.

According to the Canadian Automobile Association, in order to be truly autonomous (selfdriving) autos, these vehicles have to obtain-and transmit- a ton of data regarding driving habits and a whole lot of other personal information.

Aside from the embarrassment I may suffer re: the shrieks of laughter from software engineers as I endeavor to parallel park, this is a legitimate concern for all of us who drive, or in my case, attempt to drive..

In addition to issues of privacy, a survey conducted by the CAA earler this year found that nearly two-thirds of those who responded stated that they were uncomfortable with the idea of be-

seat” of an autonomous vehicle and troubled by possible vehicle hacking, software glitches, and accidents, to name a few.

A larger ethical concern is the issue of how AVs are programmed to react in the event of an accident. Currently, the arguments and public surveys seem to largely support utilitarium algorithims on driverless cars. That is, that self-driving cars would be programmed to cause the fewest casualities in the case of a potential or actual automobile accident. Effectively, that could mean that your driverless set of wheels could sacrifice you instead of two or more pedestrians. Predictably, most folks in numerous surveys agreed with the approach in theory. But when they considered the same question imagining themselves or someone dear to them in the virtual driver’s seat, they just as predictably changed their opinion and stated that they would rather governments legislate-and auto manufacturers create-cars that prioritized safety equally for both AV occupants and pedestrians.

Currently in Canada-as well as in a lot of other countries-legislation still requires that a licensed driver be behind the wheel of any vehicle, in case of emergency or otherwise.

The CAA’s Jeff Walker stated: “Canadians clearly see the potential of autonomous vehicles, but we’re just not there yet.”

Until then, I’ll continue to be grateful that I live in a place where angle parking is the norm.

Drive on, James!

The Carlyle PureChem Cougars are back:

Free admission Nov. 4

Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Big Six Hockey League is getting set for its 2016-17 season. A few changes have been made in the league this year, while in Carlyle the highly anticipated PureChem Cougars are making working towards their comeback season.

Changes in the league include a year off for the Arcola/Kisbey Combines after they filed for a leave-ofabsence on Thursday, Sept. 15.

Players from this team, however, have options to play elsewhere, which includes a new team to the league: the Yellow Grass Wheat Kings.

The league is now up to eight teams total. The East Division includes the Carnduff Red Devils, Oxbow Huskies, Redvers Rockets, and Wawota Flyers. The West Division includes the Bienfait Coalers, Carlyle Cougars, Midale Mustangs, and Yellow Grass Wheat Kings.

Each team will play 20 games in their regular season before heading into playoffs. Teams will play four games against each team in their division and two games against each

team from outside of their division.

Excited for the season is Dallas Lequyer, Carlyle PureChem Cougars President: “Things are going really good for us. We had a player meeting the other day and had 25 guys out for that plus five who couldn’t make it, but were interested. We can only take about 21 to 23 guys on the team.

For the month of October we have six practice times slotted in and we’ll play an exhibition game, but our actual roster won’t be nailed down until the end of October.”

Lequyer added, “The new dressing room is nearing completion and is beautiful.”

“Our first game of the season and our home opener is on Nov. 4 when we host the Wawota Flyers. There’s going to be free admission that night so come out and help us pack the stands! We also have a few different specials that night and we’ll be unveiling our jerseys.”

Thankfully, real hockey season has arrived

By Bruce Penton The National Hockey League season, which takes about as long to unfold as it does a baby to grow from the time of conception to birth, gets under way this week and fans across Canada can only hope there’s more excitement this winter than there was in the just-completed World Cup of Hockey.

Fans north of the border are generally happy that Canada, coached by Mike Babcock, skated off with the World Cup title, which shocked no one. The tournament’s best-ofthree final was won 2-0

by Canada over a team from Europe — NHL players from countries other than Russia, Sweden, Finland and the Czech Republic — but there were empty seats in the Air Canada Centre in Toronto and TV ratings were reportedly abysmal.

But the cream rose to the top, no doubt about that. Sidney Crosby, whose relatively blah play this time last year led some people to suspect he was on the downside of his career, got his game into high gear last spring to lead the Penguins to the Stanley Cup, and then carried on brilliantly during the World Cup to solidify his status as the game’s best player.

He was the tournament MVP, although a strong case, too, could have been made for Brad Marchand of Boston,

who skated on a line with Crosby and scored the winning goal in the last minute of the clinching game.

Barring injury, Crosby, now 29 and fully in his prime, should once again win the NHL scoring title, but he will have competition. Fans in Western Canada salivate at the thought of a full season for Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers, and fans in Ontario can’t wait to see if Auston Matthews of the Leafs, the No. 1 pick in this summer’s draft, is the real deal or if the hype machine got overactive, as it often does in the Centre of the Universe.

What might happen over the next nine months will be more closely analyzed in coming columns, but one thing that won’t happen is a clamouring by fans

Riders return from bye the CFL’s Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman in 2013.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced the following roster moves: ADD TO PRACTICE ROSTER: · International defensive back Larry Raper (North Carolina A&T) · International defensive lineman Ian Seau(Nevada) · International defensive lineman Devaunte Sigler (Jacksonville State) · International offensive lineman Aundrey Walker(Southern California) · National running back Jordan WilsonRoss(Ottawa) RELEASE: · International defensive back Derrius Brooks · International defensive back Demetrice Morley · International running back Josh Robinson Labatte met with reporters and while he hasn’t yet returned to practice due to a head injury, he says hasn’t ruled out a return to game action this season.

New wide receiver Jeff Fuller practiced with the team for the first time since signing with the club on Saturday.

The former Calgary Stampeder was a recent cut of the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks. He said he thought he had a good camp in Seattle, but was among the first cuts.

Fuller said he signed with the Riders because they were the first to call, and that his agent advised Saskatchewan made the best offer. He said he’s not concerned with the club’s 3-10 record or their bleak outlook for the playoffs. He was just looking for a “good fit”.

He also said his close relationship with the Riders’ John Murphy was a big factor.

By Rod Pedersen The Roughriders returned from their bye week and held a rainy practice on Monday at Taylor Field. They began the day with a good news press release: - The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced national offensive lineman Brendon LaBatte has signed an extension to remain with the team through 2017. As per club policy, financial details of the contract were not released.

LaBatte joined the Green and White as a free agent in February, 2012 after originally being selected by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the first round (6th overall) of the 2008 CFL Draft. The 30-year-old native of Weyburn, Saskatchewan has played 139 career regular season games, with 137 starts, appearing mainly at left guard.

The University of Regina product has played six CFL playoff games and two Grey Cup games, including the Riders 2013 championship.

Currently in his ninth year, LaBatte has picked up seven career Division All-Star nominations and four CFL All-Star nominations. He was also named

Quarterback Darian Durant said the bye week was a tough one for him. His uncle Michael Gordon (Darian’s mother’s brother) passed away from a heart attack at age 52 but Durant was pleased to be able to attend the funeral. Gordon was a frequent visitor to Roughriders games, even more than Durant’s mother.

Meanwhile Riders Head Coach & GM Chris Jones fielded several questions from reporters. Regarding the release of running back/returner Kendial Lawrence on Saturday, Jones said the move was strictly “production-based”.

The Riders’ next game is Friday night at Ottawa on 620 CKRM and TSN.

Fairlight’s 17 Annual Pumpkin Weigh-In

During its 17-year history, the Fairlight Annual Pumpkin Weigh-In has had to be ready to hoist heavyweight pumpkins into the village’s Community Hall by skid steer, and this year was no exception with the top two pumpkins weighing in at 800 pounds and 502 pounds. However, this year, organizer Gillian Wilson expressed her thanks “to the young guys who brought the pumpkins into the hall, even the heavy ones.”

Two of Fairlight’s community volunteers are pictured manning the barbeque at the village’s annual Pumpkin Weigh-In fundraiser.

Pictured are (l to r); Barry Metz and Kristjan Hebert. Organizer Gillian Wilson says: “It just keeps getting bigger. This year, we have people from Saskatoon and we’ve had the best community support so far at the spring pumpkin auction and this year was our best-ever turnout at the supper, with nearly 200 people here.”

Little Erica Adamson of Fairlight was one of many children who had fun playing on the giant pumpkins at Fairlight’s Annual Pumpkin Weigh-In on Saturday, Oct. 1.

The Village of Fairlight ushered in October with the community’s 17th Annual Pumpkin Weigh-In. The October 1st event is held each year as a fundraiser for the Community Hall and Drop-In centre. “What this event really does is support our community on two levels,” says Gillian Wilson, one of the evening’s organizers. “It brings everyone together- especially before winter- And it keeps the hall and Drop-In Centre open and in good repair.” This year’s winner was Morton Jensen’s (pictured) 800-pound pumpkin, grown with seeds from 2014’s massive 1,118-pound first-place pumpkin, which set a provincial record.

Fairlight’s Annual Pumpkin Weigh-In is an event created by the community, for the community. The supper and weigh-in “brings everybody together in good fun,” says Gillian Wilson, one of the event’s organizers. “And anyone who wants to is welcome to attend. A lot of people came out last year after our record-breaking winner (a pumpkin weighing 1,118 pounds) in 2014, after hearing about it on the news.

What happened then really put our little town on the map; but what happens every year is the fantastic enthusiasm and support we receive for this event.” Here, a little pumpkin fan is pictured at the event, which attracts people of all ages.

Direct to Smelter – Precious Metals Roadshow returns to Carlyle Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin returns to Carlyle on October 16th and 17th during a roadshow making its way through south-east Saskatchewan. You can bring your gold, silver, coins and Canadian paper money to the Memorial Hall between 10am and 6pm each day. No appointment is required. Barry Dick is a precious metals buyer and President of Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin.

“Ursa Major has the unique advantage of dealing direct with a smelter” said Dick. “That allows us to cut out one or even two middlemen. Ursa Major purchases gold and silver from other gold buyers, pawn shops, dentists, jewellers and jewellery makers as well as from the general public.” In terms of the US dollar, gold and silver prices may appear low.

The weak Canadian dollar means prices are strong with gold in the $1,700 and silver in the $25 per ounce range.

Ursa Major analyzes your gold, silver and coins while you watch, with the process explained to you in detail. Coins with numismatic value are set aside from those with a ‘melt’ value. Silver items such as jewellery and flatware are analyzed for hallmark identification. Items thought to contain gold will also be analyzed for hallmarks, and then confirmed using precise testing that is done while you watch. Then a cash offer is made and you decide to sell or not.

NO OBLIGATION • NO PRESSURE • FREE ANALYSIS & QUOTE

WE PURCHASE • Canadian Paper Money • platinum • earrings • bracelets • rings • gold charms

• dental gold • broken chains • gold nuggets • sterling silver • sterling flatware • COINS

Come See Us In ESTEVAN At the Estevan Library Friday & Saturday October 14th & 15th

With Winkler, Manitoba heritage, Dick was raised in BC took out his first gold claim when he turned 16 in the 1970’s. An ardent gold panner, he was a regular at the world championship gold panning competition with a personal best of 3rd place in 1984. Now he concentrates on building the wholesale business with jewellers and brokers while taking the roadshow out one or two times a month across Western Canada.

“People bring in all kinds of interesting items, but for the most part it is a broken or old chain, unloved jewelry, a single earring, and out of fashion items like charm bracelets. We also accept dental gold but it should be clean.

Lately I see more and more silver flatware sets, but before you bring those in please make sure it says “Sterling” on the handle.

There is a lot of silver plated flatware that we can’t buy due to the low silver content” says Dick. Another valuable item is coin with silver content. Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars and Dollars from Canada and America can be sorted and the silver content determined in no time at all. People are encouraged to bring in any and all coins for assessment.

Ursa Major also assesses and purchases Canadian and Dominion of Canada Paper Money. Ursa Major has extensive experience working with estate sales, executors, widows and widowers in a respectful and caring manner. No appointment necessary.

Rick Hansen: Paralympic athlete, advocate and philanthropist “There is nothing you can’t do, if you set your mind to it. Anything is possible.”

- Rick Hansen

At the age of 15, Rick Hansen’s life was irrevocably changed when a truck accident resulted in a severed spinal cord that left him paralyzed from the waist down. This event became the impetus that led him to become a lifelong crusader for the physically disabled.

Rick’s campaign started on a personal scale with a commitment to achieving his innate athletic potential. He became immersed in wheelchair sports including wheelchair volleyball, wheelchair basketball and wheelchair track and field. His love of sport lead him to pursue a Bachelor of Physical Education at UBC, making him the first person with a physical disability to ever earn this degree from the esteemed university. But it was his talent, ability and hard work that allowed him to achieve worldwide recognition as an athlete. With a focus on marathoning, he won numerous competitions and most notably earned three gold, two silver and one bronze medal at the Paralympic games of 1980 and 1984. He also competed for Canada at the 1984 Olympics in wheelchair track as an exhibition sport. He Canadian Paralympian Rick Hansen © Raj Taneja (flic.kr/p/5fmM6H). was the first person ever to break the two-hour mark in a wheelUsed under CC-BY-SA 2.0 chair marathon.

Despite all his athletic achievements, it was his Man In Motion World Tour that really put him on the map—figuratively and literally. Inspired by the courage of his friend Terry Fox, Rick decided to circle the globe in his wheelchair. The purpose was to prove the potential of people with disabilities while raising funds and awareness. The tour allowed Hansen to cover 40,000 kilometres over 34 countries across four continents in 26 months. He raised $26 million for spinal cord research and quality of life initiatives.

After the tour Rick was ready to begin the next phase in his mission to “create a world without barriers.” He established and became the CEO of the Rick Hansen Foundation, a not for profit organization that’s committed to empowering people with disabilities achieve their potential while advocating for a more inclusive world. To date, the foundation has raised over $220 million for spinal cord injury research and other programs. Educating, motivating and promoting change are all in a days work for this inspiring Canadian.

CANADA’S FINNISH COMMUNITY Actress Pamela Anderson, NHL player and coach Randy Carlyle, singer Larissa Loyva, and CEO Peter Nygard are among the more renowned Finnish-Canadians around today.

Though not the largest Canadian subculture— the 2011 census reports 136,213 Canadians claim Finnish ancestry—this community is substantial enough to produce a number of newspapers, a radio station, a yearly festival, and a range of Finnish cultural organizations.

The first Finns came to Canada in the late 1800s but a more substantial immigration occurred in the early to mid 21st century. There was both reason to leave—notably the Finnish Civil War and resulting economic depression—and incentive to come—the Canadian Pacific Railway was actively recruiting labourers. In addition, much of the Canadian landscape and climate seemed quite hospitable to emigrating Finns due to its semblance with their homeland. Logging, farming and mining were common work for early immigrants while those who arrived later were more inclined to make their livelihoods in urban centres.

Today, the largest Finnish communities are in Ontario and British Columbia, with sizable populations in Thunder Bay, Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie, Kirkland Lake, Timmins and Toronto. Finnish-Canadians have enriched the national mosaic of our nation with their political, athletic, artistic and entrepreneurial contributions.

Doubting science research results

By Calvin Daniels Science should be the one thing we can trust.

Research should be carried out for the sake of exploration, and the results published, whether the results are positive, or negative.

However, science is increasingly being seen as managing to find the results those paying the bills on the research are hoping for.

While that may be the cynical view of things, it seems science often does its best to support the view because widely differing findings on the same topic often come to light, leaving the public having to determine who they should trust.

The result, many simply doubt the creditability of science results in general, and that is scary since who should we trust if not the results of well-done scientific research?

The most recent example of the situation surrounding the different results science can put forward which only serve to confuse revolves around glyphosate, and whether the widely used herbicide is a carcinogen? Or, more simply put, does glyphosate cause cancer in humans?

The question hit the press when an International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) panel, released material in March 2015 which indicated glyphosate was probably carcinogenic to humans.

IARC is a division of the World Health Organization and given that creditability, the report carried a lot of weight, and that sent ripples throughout the world in terms of the safety of glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup herbicide.

As an example, following the release of the IARC report the European Union came close to banning glyphosate. One can imagine what such a ban could have done, in particular what impact it might have had on exports of grains and oilseeds from glyphosate treated crops in other countries destined for EU markets.

But we should hope the IARC work was carried out using sound research, and the results were backed up by data.

However, now another has come up with differing results in terms of whether glyphosate causes cancer.

In a paper published online recently in Critical Reviews in Toxicology, (www.tandfonline.com) four independent panels of experts looked at the relevant research on glyphosate and whether it’s carcinogenic.

The group of 16 scientists, from Canada, the United States, Denmark, Brazil and the United Kingdom and other countries, concluded glyphosate is unlikely to pose a carcinogenic risk to humans.

And therein lies the problem.

Whether you are a government official in the EU, or a consumer heading to the store, when putting your mind to the question of glyphosate treated grain safety, you are first left to determine whose research and results you feel best about trusting.

And, there will always be that element of doubt based on the differing conclusions.

It is such doubts which leave many simply tuning out scientific results, and that leaves them open to being swayed by other influences that should not be a trustworthy as good science research.

Letter to the editor In a few days the voters of Saskatchewan will put their mark to vote in new councillors, people they hope they can trust to keep their communities a place to grow, to be proud of, a place for their families to come home to, a place to keep their forefathers memory alive.

When you take that step your supporters trust you will be honest, trustful, and work for the people who placed you in affairs. A council can make or destroy their community or their district. If the rules that are set out by Municipal Affairs are not fol-

lowed it becomes a criminal act, that is why meetings are recorded and signed by the chairperson.

We live in a great country, one to be proud of, we have the right to vote, but we vote because we want our lives, our communities to improve. Small town living is trusting your neighbours to do right by their actions, do as your records show will be done, not by agonizing legal advice. Support the truth.

There were quite a few from Alida who attended the Zombie Run held in Redvers on Oct. 1 – some where participants in the Run and others were helpers at the Haunted House. At the Haunted House there was an excellent turnout of over 220 spectators and they all survived and also seemed to enjoy their tour through the “Halls of Horror”.

The Alida Haunted House leaders donated $500 to the Redvers Art Council for the chance to host their haunted house this year in conjunction with the Zombie Run. It was later decided that the HAUNTED HOUSE WILL be back.

It’s fall suppertime – we (Gray and I) attended the fall supper in Storthoaks on Oct. 1. There were lots and lots of delicious food and especially desserts (as always). A job that was well done by all!

See you at the next supper.

Tim, Shelly and Ainsley Cowan spent Oct. 2 in Regina where they visited with his brother Jeff and attended a medical appointment on the 3rd before returning home.

It was another mixed bag of weather with more rain showers. Hopefully most of the harvesting is just about completed now. I know there’s some canola, flax, and beans left to do, good luck fellas in completing your harvest as soon as possible. I got most of my garden brought in and undercover now, except for the carrots, and I’m in no hurray for them as they keep much better the longer they stay in the ground. The garden was fairly bountiful this year except for my corn – I just cannot grow corn, guess I’ll just leave that crop for the market garden-

ers.

This is a long weekend (Oct. 8-10) – Thanksgiving – may you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving with family and friends. Remember to inform me of your news either by phone (306-443-2496) or text message (306-485-8561) or e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel.net) – I do greatly appreciate your input. Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and Take care.

Passing the torch

By Linda Wegner I recently wrote a business feature article about a company owner who retired after serving his community for three decades. His reputation for integrity and service is outstanding and as part of his choice for a replacement, he went to great lengths to ensure that whoever purchased the company would uphold those standards.

First, this gentleman took plenty of time to assess and choose his successor; after all, something so vital needed time. In our conversation he noted that academic qualifications needed to be supplemented with the ability to relate to and care for each client.

Next, because he and the company are located outside a major metropolitan centre, it was essential that his replacement be willing to re-locate with the intent of remaining there, no matter what other offers might come along.

Lastly, this person needed to accept the counsel and mentorship of those more experienced. Along with the owner, most of his employees stayed during the transition, also offering their help and support.

In this case, passing the torch has been a positive experience for everyone involved, including clients. Sadly, not all transitions fare so well and this lesson got me thinking about our Christian

testimony and legacy. Probably the fact that I’m headed toward my mid-seventies and the end of life is much closer than it was thirty years ago, makes me increasingly introspective but I can’t help wondering: will anyone be influenced to follow Jesus Christ because of how I’ve lived?

In passing the torch, remember these basic principles: Remain firm in your commitment to Christ, no matter what the circumstances. Learn from others and in turn, provide a godly example to others.

“And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” 2 Timothy 2:2

Gordon Allan Reid November 7, 1947 - September 19, 2016 “UNTIL”

When any day starts without us, Please do not make a fuss.

Don’t ever believe we are far apart, We are right there in your heart.

So do not shed a tear for Dad and me We are at peace now, and finally free.

We are the Eagles in the Great blue sky, We are soaring, kids - so please don’t cry.

We know you loved us, we loved you too, But our time was over, our lives through.

We have ascended to a better place, That is not confined by time or space.

To those who loved us, we did not fall, We only succumbed to a higher call.

Do not mourn us, we are with you still, And will always be with you - until . . .

Love Ted, Mag, Joanne & families

The best job ever offered again in 2017 The search for next year’s Saskatchewanderer begins soon. Interested candidates can apply from Wednesday, October 12 at noon until Monday, November 7 at noon.

2016 has been a landmark year for the Saskatchewanderer program.

In August, the combined followers between Facebook, Twitter and Instagram surpassed 50,000, and numbers continue to rise. Since January, Instagram followers have more than doubled and the number of Facebook likes has nearly reached the 30,000 milestone.

“Saskatchewan is a remarkably diverse province and over the past year I’ve had the privilege of experiencing that diversity first hand,” 2016 Saskatchewanderer Neil Fisher said.

“Exploring breathtaking landscapes, being immersed in our agricultural heart and being inspired by unique entrepreneurs - without question it’s the best job in Saskatchewan.”

With the mission to showcase Saskatchewan as the best place to live, work and play, program partners Tourism Saskatchewan and the Ministries of Parks, Culture and Sport, Agriculture and Economy are excited to renew the program for 2017.

“Tourism Saskatchewan is a proud partner of the Saskatchewanderer program. Since its inception, the initiative has successfully bolstered the profile of our province and highlighted all that Saskatchewan has to offer,” Minister responsible for Tourism Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said. “Through his travels as Saskatchewanderer, Neil has showcased the vast array of tourism experiences with stunning photography and informative narrative, and has appealed to a wide online audience.

We are so pleased to see that his efforts have significantly increased the program’s social media following on channels such as Instagram.”

In 2017, CAA Saskatchewan will return as the program sponsor and DirectWest will come on board as the program’s search partner.

“Neil has been a terrific ambassador during this past year,” CAA Saskatchewan President and CEO Fred Titanich said. “By providing the Saskatchewanderer with a vehicle, gas vouchers and the valued CAA membership, Neil has been able to explore our great province while reminding residents that CAA is there for them, offering roadside assistance, travel, insurance and related member services. We have been a proud supporter of the Saskatchewanderer program since its inception in 2011.”

“As a digitally-focussed and Saskatchewan company, DirectWest is proud to support initiatives that generate positive online relationships and foster local pride,” Vice President of Marketing Colin Savage said.

“Like the Saskatchewanderer, we are found across the province – helping people search, find and connect; how, when and where they like. With DirectWest as search partner, the Saskatchewanderer will use mysask411. com, the Mysask411 Mobile App and the SaskTel Phonebook to help them find local information and businesses along the way.”

Interested candidates can apply at www.saskatchewanderer.ca/apply. The application process includes submission of a video, shot and edited, by the applicant. Questions regarding the application process can be emailed to saskatchewandererofficial@gmail.com.

He is survived by his loving wife of 42 years Judy; his sons Shawn (Stevianne) and Tyler (Denielle); grandchildren, Jackson, Isabelle, Wilson, Eleanor and Cedar; sister Dianne (Ken) Mykle and in-laws Gerry Reid, Janice Yourex, Betty (Gary) Roberts, Virginia (Len) Jordan, Jim (Marilyn) Yourex, Michael Stauber, Carol Williams as well as several nieces and nephews. Gord was predeceased by his parents Clare and Bessie Reid; his mother-in-law Colleen Clark and her husbands Albert Clark, Joe Stauber and Paul Yourex; brother Bruce Reid; brother-in-law Glenn Yourex; niece Carly Williams as well as numerous aunts and uncles. The family of Gordon Reid wish to thank all our relatives, friends and neighbours for all your support and encouragement at this difficult time. A special thank you to all the staff at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre, Calgary especially Gord’s cancer team of Dr. John Kelly, Dr. Robert Nordal and Dr. Roger Tsang. We are extremely grateful for the caring service of Dr. Leoni Kelly, the nursing staff at the Olds Hospital, Olds Home Care and the Olds & District Hospice Society. A Celebration of Life was held at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #105, Olds on September 23, 2016. Interment followed at the Olds Cemetery. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Olds & District Hospice Society, Tom Baker Cancer Centre, or charity of your choice.

Glen L. Rowley August 15, 1943 - September 22, 2016 It is with great sadness that the family announces the sudden passing of Glen at his home on Thursday, Sept. 22nd, 2016 at the age of 73. He is survived by his wife, Bonnie, and two children, Warren (Shiela) and Karen (Aaron); grandchildren, Brayden, Tallyn, Carter, Grayden, Katie, Anthony, and Nelson; and his brother George and many relatives. He was predeceased by his sister, Evelyn Larson, and parents Hazel and Leonard Rowley.

Glen worked in the oilfield the majority of his working years and was always very active in sports and the community. He was involved in many different organizations and always willing to lend a hand whenever it was needed. He loved his Montreal Canadians and Saskatchewan Roughriders no matter how well they played, and also enjoyed attending his grandchildren’s sports and activities. Him and Bonnie spent many hours on the “arc” fishing and to this day we still aren’t sure who caught the biggest fish!

A celebration of Glen’s life was held on Monday, Sept. 26th at the Manor Legion Hall with Michelle Moore officiating. Donations in memory of Glen may be directed to the Manor Community Recreation Board or a charity of your choice.

Arrangements in care of Orsted Funeral Home, Carlyle Sask.

Buddy benches arrive at CES

Staff photo by Kelly Running

Two Buddy Benches were donated by the Waugh Family to the Carlyle Elementary School. Here Reeve and Max stand with one of the benches. Buddy Benches have become a popular school playground feature, if a student sits on the bench it means they are looking for someone to play with. The benches are a way to help students build empathic skills and reinforce the importance of being inclusive.

In a recent homily Father Brendan McGuire shared this analogy: He was given samples of oil essence, of lavender and fennel. This oil essence was super, super concentrated oil like a whole bunch of lavender squeezed into tiny little drops and every drop containing a strong aroma of that particular flower or plant.

Like the essence of flower in the oil drops, we need to be imbued with the Spirit of Jesus. That essence of Jesus will compel us to move as disciples.

“It is not enough to believe in Jesus,” McGuire said, “we have to follow Jesus. That is the essence of discipleship: to follow Jesus.”

In a later reflection McGuire shares his experience of a mission trip to Nicaragua made by his Holy Spirit parish of San Jose. As they mixed and cemented concrete for a new school, they shared stories with the families there.

Jaime shared why the school was so important to him. When he was younger, he had to leave school to work in the field. “I was so small I wasn’t able to hold the plow really well. The line would get

crooked and my father would beat me hard like he would a mule. I have scars on my back and many of the other workers on the school site have scars on their head and on their faces from being hit by their fathers.”

Jaime’s wife Victoria shared a similar story of having to drag water in and to wash the clothes and to cook from the age of grade three. As we share in the stories and lives of our fellowman we learn to care.

Henri Nouwen makes a distinction between cure and care. “Care is what one does from the outset. It is an attitude. It is something that one does and it is not concerned about the necessary change; it is not directed towards change. Its end is in itself, to care for someone.

“Cure can bring about some wonderful change but it has the potential for harm because cure can be done at an accelerated pace; …can cause pain.

It…can bring about violence because it necessitates an agenda of speed.

“Care…brings about…gentle change…because

one recognizes that one is loved. When one is loved, that changes everything!”

Of his Nicaraguan mission Father McGuire says, “What we do here is not about bringing a cure to people in Nicaragua. That is not our agenda. Our agenda is simply one thing and that is to love; to care; to treat every single person…as an equal.

“We come to love them where they are, not to bring about a change in our time frame. We must understand that it would be somewhat absurd to think that we could bring about change in one week. If there is going to be any change, it is going to be because we love them, because we care for them, because we allow the Spirit of Christ into our hearts and to work through us.”

“Sensitivity is the sign of a maturing soul. We are called to open our eyes; to open our ears; to open our heart to others in need.” Father Brendan McGuire “Jesus is happy to come to us, as truth is happy to be spoken, as life to be lived, as light to be lit, as love to be loved, as joy to be given, as peace to be spread.” St Francis of Assisi
