Correction:

In The Observer’s story last week (June 16) titled, Saving Smithfield: Rescue and Restoration in Southeast Saskatchewan, the stonemason in charge of the restoration was cited as being a master stonemason. Pirie called to explain that he is not a master stonemason, but is a stonemason. The title of master is only earned by those who have learned blacksmithing, in order to make their own tools, they’re also considered a metallurgist, and have experience in all aspects of the trade.

Merit Ford partners with CES in Drive 4UR Community Kelly Running Observer Staff

Merit Ford’s Joel Mryglod, General Manager, was excited to be joined

by Corey Wilson, new Service Manager, in presenting Principal of Carlyle Elementary School Tyler Fehrenbach and students of CES with a cheque on Thursday, June 15, for $3,580. This donation comes through Ford’s Drive 4UR Community initiative. Test drives were held on May 13 at CES, with every test drive Merit Ford donated $20. With 179 test drives completed, it was a great day as further funds were raised through the hot dog lunch, which Merit Ford sponsored, and the Carlyle PureChem Cougars matched any donations for the last hour of the event.

“Every year Ford holds this program across Canada and Merit Ford has never partook before, but we are under new management, so when the email came through we decided to participate.” Mryglod said.

CES is fundraising for new playground equipment: “Playground

equipment is very expensive,” Fehrenbach stated. “Our SCC is

going to look through some equipment and in the fall we’re go-

ing to give the kids some choice as to what they’re like to see as

well and go from there, but it’s ridiculously expensive.”

From Front page - Redvers SARCAN service award Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Redvers SARCAN Recycling Depot has been awarded a very special title; they are the 2016 Large Depot winners of the Customer Service award.

Designated secret shoppers visit SARCAN depots across Saskatchewan and rate their overall experience there including accuracy, cleanliness, and customer service, while one depot in each category: small depot, medium depot, large depot, and extra-large depot, earns the title of Depot of the Year.

Robert Madsen – the depot supervisor – has been in his position for two years and Marsha Goforth – Redvers Activity Centre CEO – remembers the first day she spoke to Madsen about the position: “He said it was going to be his mission to win all four awards and this is the first one of many.”

Madsen added, “I don’t think we’ve done anything differently in our customer service, even when it’s crazy in here I believe we do a good job, we’re just finally being recognized for our efforts.”

Goforth continued, “We have a good team here.

They’re friendly staff that complements each other well, and I would agree, they haven’t been doing anything differently, they’re just being recognized for it with this.”

For the 2016 year there were four full-time staff and three casual staff that contributed to earning the award including Francois Meyer, Cauntay Lonechild, Preston Moore, Dean Shillington, Brent Churchill, Lori Aalbers, and Robert Madsen.

“SARCAN falls under our [Redvers Activities Centre] umbrella, but I don’t always get to see the day to day here,” Goforth says. “But, I’ve been there for 10 years and have been CEO for two years.

Under Roberts leadership there’s a great sense of camaraderie and teamwork that has blossomed.

I’m really proud of the staff here.”

Madsen smiled adding, “I have an amazing staff here. I couldn’t ask for better staff.”

With the excitement of winning the award, the Redvers SARCAN is also excited to be introducing a Drop and Go system, which allows customers the opportunity to drop off their recycling and go without having to stand in line.

“When it’s busy here, it can take a long time to get through the line,” Madsen explained. “People from as far away as Arcola and Fairlight are coming here, so this is something SARCAN is introducing and it’s a great idea.”

This is why Redvers has the designation of a Large Depot, which is en par to other SARCAN’s like Weyburn, because of the large area the depot services.

With one award down, Madsen will continue towards his goal of earning all four while supervisor at the depot.

Carlyle Legion a part of the community

Shelby and Garnet Goud stand with Legion member Lyle Basken outside of the newly resided Legion hut in Carlyle, which the Gouds generously donated.

CORRECTION The Observer would like to apologize for putting the wrong address in the Carlyle Foodbank ad last week.

Please note the correct address is:

Box 356 Carlyle, SK S0C 0R0

Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

Clareen Makelki and Nedra Clark present Maurice Saltel – Principal of G.F. Kells High School – with a set of DVDs called “Canada Remembers,” and an Official Certificate of Programming Participation. The Legion also donated a set of DVDs to Arcola School as well.

Kelly Running Observer Staff

EARLY DEADLINE for The Observer July 7th, 2017 issue:

THURSDAY, JUNE 29th AT NOON This is due to

Canada Day On July 1st

The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 248 – Carlyle, is thankful for recent community support and in turn has also been doing its part within the area it serves.

A very special act came from Garnet and Shelby Goud.

Legion member, Lyle Basken, explained: “Thank you for helping out at the Legion hut.

I had met with Garnet one day and we were talking about a little bit of work we wanted to do on the Legion hut and he had some metal at his shop on his acreage that might work. He asked me if I’d take him by the hut,” laughing Basken added, “I’m not

sure he knew where it was.”

“But, he said, ‘I’ll look after that.’”

Garnet simply said, “The Legion had done a lot of work inside and were looking at working on the outside, so Shelby and I just decided we’d help.”

This help has led to the building looking like new again and a lot of appreciative Legion members.

Inside the Legion, Clareen Makelki, pointed out a donation of new chairs as well which came through the Community Grant Program, which the Town of Carlyle has access to.

In addition to thankfully receiving community support in their efforts at the Legion hut,

the Carlyle Legion also gave back. The Legion recently donated a set of DVDs to both G.F. Kells High School and Arcola School. The DVDs are titled “Canada Remembers.”

“I’ve seen episodes on TV from this series, mostly around Remembrance Day, and they are very good,” Nedra Clark, president of the Carlyle Legion, explained. “The history teachers at the school are planning to use them in their curriculums.”

Maurice Saltel, principal of G.F.K. High School, stated: “Your work is always appreciated. Thank you for your continued support of the kids and the teachers in our building. It’s greatly appreciated.”

A striking visual brings emotional response to history Kelly Running Observer Staff

Representing the Inuit people, these young men were asked to separate their land from everyone else as the Inuit were moved from lands they had been living on and were forced into isolation.

It’s an exercise that would be beneficial in all schools, Lauren Pinacie-Littlechief – facilitator – explains of the Blanket Exercise.

The intention of the exercise is to look at the history of First Nations peoples and the European settlers, how treaties were formed, and how the relationships changed as time progressed – moving from a mutually respectful living with a thriving trade this turned to initiatives focused on assimilation of First Nations people.

As the exercise moved through each historical marker, the striking and emotional moments unfolded as people were told to leave their blankets – that they had died of a disease, died in a war, or their connections to family and land were broken.

The exercise followed the progression of historical relationships starting with the

Lauren Pinacie-Littlechief recently stopped by her alma mater – White Bear Education Complex – on Tuesday, June 13. She facilitated the “Blanket Exercise,” which sees participants sitting on blankets, which represents the northern part of Turtle Island – Canada. As the exercise progresses people are forced off of their blankets, are told to take up a smaller amount of space on their blankets, and to move blankets – this represents the history of the First Nations peoples and Europeans.

Staff photos by Kelly Running

It was a striking sight to be seen as the history of the First Nations people was shown through the Blanket Exercise. In contrast to the first photo of many people on many blankets, now few remain on very little land – the other participants having lost their connection to the land or lost their lives through historical events: European diseases including the purposeful sharing of small pox blankets, the history of the Beothuk, the Metis dispersion following the Red River Rebellion and the Northwest Resistance, the Indian Act, Enfranchisement, Residential Schools, and the 60s Scoop.

Doctrine of Discovery, which saw Europeans discover the New World and decide to inhabit and explore the new land. At first there was a lot of cooperation and the settlers recognized that there were many independent Nations already living on the land.

Treaties were made as a way to determine how people would share the land, water, plants, and animals moving forward.

The Royal Proclamation of 1763 declared that Indigenous peoples owned their own land and that it had to be purchased from them in the form of Treaties. Through the War of 1812 relations remained positive and the British forces fought alongside First Nations against the invading Americans.

As time continued the entire Beothuk people were killed; First Nations and Metis then suffered through the Red River Rebellion and the Northwest Resistance; while many were killed by European diseases, which their immune systems were not able to fight.

During this time the term “civilized” was adopted in regards to land use, which led to a loss of living and culture amongst the First Nations people.

In 1867 the British North American Act was passed and shortly after, in 1876, the Indian Act was introduced. There were limits to culture and how the family was seen; as well as restrictions to movement, culture, and religion.

Enfranchisement led to the loss of legal Indian status under the Indian Act if individuals

chose to pursue Western occupations such as teacher, lawyer, doctor, and even soldiers.

The exercise then looked to Residential Schools for its legacy of pain; while it also drew attention to the 60s Scoop which saw Indigenous children placed with non-Indigenous families.

More recently there has been a focus on the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, which was also addressed during the blanket exercise.

Although there have been a few small steps forward in relations such as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Shannon’s Dream for First Nations to have a safe and comfy school to learn in, and the United Nations dec-

laration of rights which focuses on “ensuring Indigenous people are alive and thrive,” as Pinacie-Littlechief explained.

Following the exercise a discussion was held regarding what people thought and felt of it.

“It was scary as you were on your blanket and people were asked to go sit down, I kept thinking if I’d be next, and I was quite disappointed when I was asked to leave my blanket,” one of the participants said.

Another added, “I learned a lot about the history and events. It was interesting and very emotional; it blew my mind in a way because there were things I didn’t know about or things I did know, but didn’t know were that bad.”

Bringing movies back to Carlyle Kelly Running Observer Staff

Going to the movies is a great way to spend an evening and Cornerstone Theatre is excited to announce their bid has been accepted on the Redvers Arts Centre’s digital projection system.

The Redvers Arts Centre was inundated with water during the floods of 2014 and was closed due to structural concerns. Although the Redvers Arts Council attempted to salvage the building, they ran into larger issues and had to abandon their attempts to repair and renovate the building.

With that coming to light the Redvers Arts Council decided to sell the system. The cost of the system is being paid up-front by the Cornerstone Theatre, however, they are hoping the community will be willing to help them in donations, as some of the money they are using to purchase the system is earmarked for other upgrades to Carlyle Me-

morial Hall.

“Cornerstone is paying for the system up front,” Dianne Twietmeyer explained. “But, we’re hoping to have community donations to help pay for the system. We have some other projects that the money we’re using is earmarked for, so we hope the community will help us pay for the rest, but we do expect to cover a third of the system.”

Twietmeyer explains that movies have been gone from Carlyle for approximately five years: “Things went digital and we had to stop showing movies. At the time it was looking like $100,000 to set up a digital projector and at that time we couldn’t even think about it because we had quite recently gone to the community for donations in upgrading the projector we had.”

“This opportunity in Redvers came up and Cornerstone decided that we should jump at the opportunity and make it possible to show

movies here again, but we will need the community’s help to afford it.”

The total bid, which was accepted

by Redvers, was for $30,000. Cornerstone Theatre will pay this up front, but are hoping to raise $20,000 with the help of the community to assist in covering the cost of the venture for they have other projects at Carlyle Memorial Hall underway as well.

“We plan to get it set up in the theatre this summer, but won’t be looking to open until after summer,” Twietmeyer said. “We’d also like to find groups interested in running it – Cornerstone had done it for many years, prior to that individual families ran it for several years, but we’re hoping we can find a relationship like the Arcola Optimists have with the high school.”

Contact the Cornerstone Theatre if interested in helping them with this venture of bringing movies back to Carlyle.

Retiring Town of Carlyle Superintendent of Public Works, Peter Robertson was honoured at a celebratory lunch at the Carlyle Civic Centre, Thursday, June 15 by members of council and his colleagues, past and present.

Robertson - who has served the Town of Carlyle for 27 years - was lauded for both his exemplary service and his sense of humour.

Quote of the Week . . .

“We accept the love we think we deserve”

- Stephen Chbosky

Moving forward together

I always seem to think of things to say after I’m asked my opinion… I simply need a little time to organize what I want to say.

The other day, I attended an event, it was a blanket exercise – the article can be found in this edition of the paper – in essence it had students sitting on a blanket marking pre-colonialism. Then, as the faKelly Running cilitator explained the history of the Observer Staff European and Indigenous peoples the blankets slowly got smaller, disappeared altogether, and people were asked to leave the shrinking blankets representing death or lost connection to their people.

At the end, they went around in a circle all saying what they thought about the exercise and the facilitator asked if I would like to say anything, so I replied, “I actually studied history, so I knew the ‘facts,’ but this was presented in a very striking way and was very well done.”

As I was driving home, this stuck with me – in fact the entire way home I was thinking and immediately went to my computer to get my thoughts down for this column. As I was driving/thinking, I had a pit in my stomach and my heart hurt; this is typically the feeling I’m left with when I see the emotional reality of what Canada did to an entire people and that legacy. And I sit there wondering, “How can this be made right?” It’s not fair that an entire people is hurting, that they’re saddled with so many complications and challenges based solely on this country’s history.

I always feel at odds with this, however, as my inner dialogue runs and thoughts continually drift to my grandparents who emigrated from the Netherlands to Canada. When they were young, World War II was raging around them, and it was Canadian troops that liberated Holland. So, to my grandparents – who lived in a country under foreign Nazi rule – and to many people there, Canada is the “good guy.” Canada gave them their country and culture back – Canada even allowed their royalty to live in Ottawa since June 1940 while the Nazis occupied the Netherlands and when Princess Margriet was born in 1943, the Canadian government temporarily declared the maternity ward of Ottawa Civic Hospital to be extraterritorial, thus ensuring the newborn would be born – solely – a Dutch citizen.

Overseas they left a legacy of appreciation and positive sentiments; but, Canada was taking many lives at home. Canada is essentially a country built on taking lives and leaving a legacy of pain amongst an entire people.

Canada, as with any political entity, has its good and bad, and I think acknowledging both aspects can bring us all closer together. We look back in history and can see how we came to be where we are, but we can’t go back in time to change anything, we can only find a way to all move forward together.

Canada is many things to many people and as many of us are set to celebrate Canada’s 150th, I think we also have to acknowledge that not everything in that 150 years was good, but that we’re looking forward – united – in finding a way to make things better. To right any wrongs and to celebrate what we are proud of as a country because our history makes us all Canadians and we must forge forward on a new path together.

Celebrations are always a time to reflect back, but it’s also a time to look to the future and I think we all need to ask ourselves what we can do to move forward as one.

We need to celebrate and appreciate our diversity as a country and heal together.

Historically significant and highly special This fall a bronze plaque will be mounted at the UBC School of Nursing to honour Ethel Johns as a Person of National Historic Significance. Johns, the school’s first director, will be joining 700 others who have been honoured similarly.

“Persons of National Historic Significance” (PNHS) are people designated by the Canadian government as being nationally Shelley Luedtke significant in the history of our country. Parks Canada administers the program and maintains the federal plaques erected to commemorate each one. The intent is to honour the person’s contribution to the country, and to provide a permanent marker to educate us about who they were and what they did.

Many names have been added to this list since I last spent any time looking through it and my reactions were exactly the same as they were before.

Why don’t we know more about these people?

Newspapers have been running extensive Canada 150 features over the last few months. It has been fascinating reading about different people groups that settled the land, historically important events in the formation of the country, significant contributions to culture, industry, science and technology, and skill testing questions that put our knowledge of all things Canadian to the test. Often there was a profile of a notable Canadian that left me again asking, “Why don’t we know more about these people?’”

That is what makes the “Persons of National Historic Significance” project so important. It recognizes people who have made outstanding contributions to life in Canada--and beyond. On the list are surgeons, authors, judges, soldiers, ranchers, military officers, scientists, pilots, fur traders, conservationists and artists. They have all contributed to the health, safety, security, academia, beauty and political structure of the country I call home, so even though I may not know their names they have all had an impact on my life, whether I realize it or not.

Then again, so has every other Canadian whose work, talents and efforts have contributed to the fabric of our nation. Each of us has the opportunity to build upon the work of others and contribute to the collective story that is Canada. Discovery by discovery, law by law, book by book, event by event, organization by organization, playground by playground, helping hand by helping hand...it is the assembly of each layer of work that combines to create the strength and resolve of a nation. Building block by building block our nation grows and meets the future. Every success, every failure, every attempt leads to new potential, new ideas, new ambitions and a new sense of what it means to be a citizen in this country.

The most significant actions aren’t always the ones that end up being engraved on a plaque. The ones that may bring the greatest impact occur neighbour to neighbour; and community to community. Because that is what makes a nation great— its people—those whose names indeed may become famous but also those who contribute all they are without necessarily getting the recognition they are due. They see their citizenship in a country like ours not as a given—but as a gift.

Being considered “historically significant” is a subjective determination to be sure. But since each individual personal history is significant, it might be good to take a moment and think about those who have made an impact on that history in each of our communities. There are countless humble, hardworking people who are undaunted by the challenges, who envision limitless possibilities and who find ways of making things happen no matter what obstacles need to be leaped. They won’t get plaques.

Or ceremonies. Or write-ups in government archives. But then again, they likely don’t need any of that.

As we get ready to mark Canada 150 perhaps one of the best ways to celebrate is to thank those who you would put on your PNHS list—Principled, Noble, Highly Special individuals who help make your community and this country great.

That’s my outlook.

Weeds be gone

I am going to have to put a shameless plug in here because, why not? If you are looking for something to do on Saturday, head over to Gainsborough and take in the Black Gold Rodeo!

Search it on social media for all the details and pray for no rain!

I believe I have finally recovered from the cattle weekend. Who knew that you could Krystyn Gillies get so sore from running a head-gate all day? It was probably because I had to install briskets on over a third of the herd, which is time consuming and taxing on one’s body. I suppose had I been used to it, I would have done just fine, but it was a lot of ups and downs and muscling animals who weight a lot more than me into doing what I wanted them to.

My feet hurt for almost three days, and my poor back still has some muscle pain. Maybe I am not as young as I once was, but I am sure glad it is all over with. Also, we finally got some rain! My garden has just erupted with all the extra moisture. I am not going to lie, I was really worried when half of the stuff I planted didn’t come up.

I told myself I was going to give the plants an-

other week to come up and if they didn’t, I was going to replant some of it. Boy, am I glad I didn’t jump the gun! I had three cucumber plants come up out of three rows and now, almost every seed popped a green plant. I hope my family and friends like cucumbers!

My pumpkins multiplied and we went from one plant to three out of four hills planted! My poor sad tomatoes have tripled in size, which I am very thankful for and seven or eight extra hills of potatoes have skyrocketed out of the ground in random places all over the garden. The only thing I am waiting on is my carrots and I hope that by the time this column goes to press, an entire row has popped up.

Although, I am still gun shy of the silly orange vegetables after all the processing I did last fall. I swear if I never saw another one for a year, it would be too soon!

I am now in the process of weeding said garden.

What a task! I didn’t want to weed it too early, as the plants were still new and I was scared of pulling the good stuff out along with the bad. So, it was time. When I first got a chance to get out there, it was a very daunting task. The weeds were well over eight inches high for the most part and the thistles out there were unreal.

Their roots go down about 1000 feet, I am sure.

I had to resort to digging them with the shovel and then carefully plucking them out of the hole, without getting stabbed with the thorns. Those suckers have no problem penetrating through gardening gloves. Maybe I should pull a pair of my husbands welding gloves to tackle them.

The darn rain kept dampening my efforts out there but by later last night (Monday), I had about half of the garden free of weeds. My mom even hopped on the weeding train and helped out, which I really appreciated. The toddler however, she is really good at plucking two or three leaves off each offending weed and wandering off.

Thankfully, she has gotten into the habit of asking, “This weed mom?”, over and over again, even if she already pulled six leaves off the same plant she asked about. Hopefully she keeps that up, so we aren’t short coveted plants.

Soon, veggies will be plentiful and I am really excited about that part. I must keep reminding myself of that every time I get stabbed by a thistle or have to dig a foot down for quack grass roots.

The food will be so worth it! I hope everyone has had as much luck in their gardens so far as I have.

Bring on the sun! Especially for June 24th! Wink, wink!

For the birds Summer mornings: I just love them.

I love switching the sheets from winter flannel to summer cotton – the crisp coolness of the fabric one of the perks and the fact that they have been dried out in the summer breeze another. Pure luxury.

I love that there’s enough Jocelyn Hainsworth physical labour during the summer months that I’m actually tired at bedtime. Sleep comes so much easier, and is so much deeper when I have earned it by weeding the garden or trimming trees.

I love sleeping with the windows open. The frogs sing us to sleep, the night breezes refresh the air in the room, even the sound of a gentle rain on our metal roof is soothing.

The mornings are the best though, even if they tend to start before 4:00 at this time of the year.

Most humans wouldn’t notice when the eastern horizon begins its transition from total darkness to that hint of dove gray, but Mother Nature has a remedy for that. Her watch guard of feathered sentinels are there to let everyone know another day is dawning.

It begins with the soft coo-cooing of the mourning doves. This is a very gentle transition from the absolute quiet of the night (well, except for the nights when the foxes and coyotes yip and howl and the dog tries to tell them to go away – those nights aren’t so peaceful). The doves’ soft sounds nudge at the edges of my consciousness steering me toward the day. It’s so much better than the blaring BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP of the alarm clock.

But Mother Nature has her own version of grating, unpleasant noises and not long after the mourning dove’s song begins the grackles move into the tree closest to our bedroom window and start what sounds like marital disputes. There are so many of them out there – and none of them seem to like each other. The transition from dove to grackle is not a pleasant one.

By the time it is full light the robins and sparrows are chipping in with what they have to say.

The robins are mostly cheerful and optimistic, the sparrows tend to be saucy little braggarts. At least the one outside my bedroom is – she managed to poke her nest into a crack in our eave and spends an hour every morning telling everyone else in the bird world how smart she is. It always amazes me how much noise can come out of such a little bird but then I remember the year we had a tiny house wren move in. The volume that those tiny creatures can create is one for the record books.

Obviously by this time I’m out of bed and getting on with my day. First there’s breakfast, then there’s coffee, and what follows these days is a battle with the barn swallows (or as I call them – the swoop and poop flock). They have decided to build a full city subdivision under the eave on the north side of the house. They didn’t apply for residential zoning to be changed from barn to house and are relying on some kind of squatter’s rights. It’s not going well for them and they really dislike the human with the hoe that keeps destroying their progress. The human is winning.

There have been many years that our resident woodpecker has made himself heard too but this year he has easy (quiet) picking in the ground. It

took me a while to figure out what all those little holes were in the back yard but between the abundance of cut worms and the lack of tree hammering it eventually dawned on me what was happening.

The tiniest of all birds fill the rest of my bird watching day. Hummingbirds – I have no idea how many because they won’t stay still long enough to count – dipping and diving, chirping and squeaking they spend more time trying to claim ownership of the feeders than they actually do feeding. They are so used to us that these wars go on regardless of whether we are out there on not; watching them while the sun goes down is a great way to end a day.

And then it’s time to get to bed – the mourning doves will be tuning up in just a few hours!

Local rider inspires: Kate Lees earns podium finishes in National Series

Submitted photo courtesy SDenzler Photography

Carlyle Kate Lees is back to the podium as she competes in the 2017 CMRC Western Canadian Women’s National Series. Lees has seen success so far having competed in Kamloops where she finished 4th and 6th for an overall 5th place finish and then she earned a 5th and 6th place finish at Prince George for another 5th overall. Her final race in Prince George was an impressive one, however, as she and another rider came together off the line leaving them well behind the other riders. This earned her not only the 5th place finish, but the “Hard Charger Award” for catching up.

“I went from 31st and caught up to 6th,” Lees explained.

Would Flames leave over arena dispute?

By Bruce Penton Calgary Flames want a new arena. Deeppocketed interests in Seattle are prepared to build a brand new arena in the west coast city. Municipal officials in Calgary say they absolutely will not use taxpayers’ money to build a new arena for the Flames.

If you follow the money, and if everybody is telling the truth, there’s a good chance the National Hockey League’s presence in Calgary could be short-lived.

The Seattle Flames, anyone?

Big-mouth Brian Burke, the Flames’ president of operations, recently told a business gathering in Calgary that “We’re not going to make the threat to leave. We’ll just leave.”

Those words were hardly cooled off after being printed on the website of the Calgary Sun when Ken King, the calmer, more reasoned CEO and president of the Flames, took a calmer and more reasoned approach, pouring water on Burke’s words by saying the team was still committed to working with the city towards an arena solution.

Imagine being a fly on the wall when King and Burke first got together for a private chat after Burke’s inflammatory statement.

The Flames’ current home, the Scotiabank Saddledome, is the oldest arena in the league, but suggestions that taxpayers would pay up to two-thirds of a new facility costing in the neighbourhood of $1.8 billion haven’t gone over too well with those who control the city of Calgary’s purse strings.

Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi says citizens are overwhelm-

ingly opposed to public money being used for a new arena. After all, the NHL team is a private, for-profit operation that doesn’t use its profits to build museums, parks, schools or public health facilities. On the other hand, the existence of the Flames brings millions of dollars into Cowtown, especially the downtown, helping property-tax-paying businesses thrive. The worst-case scenario is that the Flames depart for Seattle, downtown businesses wither up and die, causing a big dip in property tax revenue. That scenario also leaves Calgary as a minor-league city and an overwhelming No. 2, behind Edmonton, in the race for status glory in Alberta.

Try telling a Calgarian that the image battle of Alberta with hated Edmonton is over and they’ve lost. That’s why in the end, somehow, a way will be found to keep the Flames in Calgary.

Coming together to help one of their own Connie Schwalm Submitted

A unique, multifaceted community came together in Langbank on Sunday, June 11th.

The event which drew that community together was a BBQ and Men’s Fastball League Double-Header. It was held in order to honor Lyle Balogh; and assist Lyle and his family with the expenses they face, as Lyle does battle with esophageal cancer.

In part, this was the Langbank community, gathered around a man and a family that have lived their entire lives in this area...and contributed a great deal to that community. Lyle helped to build the Ball Diamond in Langbank...a facility that he notes has been very important to people in the area.

“I remember, I had my 92 Dodge parked right in Center Field. It was full of all the wire that we were putting up around the diamond. We didn’t have as many machines to help us as we would have liked. There was a lot of that ‘manual labor’ thing going on. But, it was sure worth all of the effort...this place has meant a lot to Langbank. A ball diamond brings people together just like a hockey rink does.

It’s like they say in that old movie...’If you build it – they WILL come’.”

Yet, many of the people that have come to Langbank’s ball diamond for this event do not call Langbank ‘home’. A quick scan of the 200 names written in the registry showed that some of them had traveled to this event from as far away as Brandon, Regina, Spy Hill, Weyburn and Winnipeg. Clearly, this was a gathering of neighbors and friends (numbering well over 200 – as not everyone who attended remembered to sign the registry) who had not become neighbors and friends solely because of where they lived.

In fact, it is a love of softball and a commitment to ‘the game’ that has served to create this community.

Lyle has been an enthusiastic member of this community for much of his life...both as a player and and for the past 39 years as a Registered Umpire. Craig Savill, who has worked as an umpire with Lyle for many years, describes the impact that Lyle has had on this community.

“Lyle has an incredible passion for ball, and for working as umpire. I have worked with him, and he goes out of his way to make sure the game is fair...and fun. Lyle also helped to organize clinics where young umpires could be trained and mentored. Through the mentoring program in Carlyle, (currently under the leadership of Bill Wyatt) about 20 young people aged 12 and older are

trained to become umpires.

Lyle was very involved in acting as a mentor for many of these young umpires. It is a big part of Lyle’s legacy...his way of passing his knowledge and his love for this game on to young people.”

When news of Lyle’s diagnosis became known, Craig says that the community immediately began looking for some way to help Lyle and his family with this battle.

“When we found out that Lyle was sick, I phoned up Randy (Rapitta) and Dave (Hill) and suggested that we could maybe organize something to raise some money and help them out.

It started out as a BBQ... then it was suggested that maybe the Men’s Fastball League might be willing to play a couple of games.

It all just grew from there.

We started getting calls.

People were asking how they could help. I had no idea that we would end up with something like we have here today! And I have to say...all I did was make the suggestion. It was all of the hard work that everyone involved put into it, that made all of this happen!”

To say that the individuals who worked to organize this event were surprised by the response

would be an understatement. As Craig says: “I am absolutely staggered by what’s happened.

People have come here from miles away...just to see Lyle and to help out.

We have been able to raise a substantial amount of money to help Lyle and his family just through the raffles and 50/50 alone! This is amazing and it might lead to something in the future. There have already been suggestions that this should become an annual event.”

Lyle’s wife Sharon was profoundly grateful for the support that that they have received.

“You know...life gets busy. You go to work and come home...day after day.

You get busy doing stuff with the kids. Then, something like this happens.

That’s when you realize just what kind of a community it is that you are a part of!”

Ultimately though...it is far more than geography or even a love of softball that created this community... and led to this overwhelming expression of affection and concern. As Lyle himself noted...the ties which bind THIS community are far more powerful.

“Right from my birth... with my parents who chose to adopt me and raise me

as their own...I have been given so much in my life.

Look at all of this! This is amazing...it’s overwhelm-

ing! I don’t have enough ways to say ‘Thank-you’ for this. There have been many...many tears today.

But they are ALL good tears...NO unhappy tears here! I am truly...TRULY BLESSED!”

Pause for Reflection

By Ken Rolheiser www.kenrolheiser.com

Do you want the truth or a good story The Pope and a Rabbi were having a debate. The loser would leave ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemas-microsoftcom:office:smarttags”/ Italy. The rabbi spoke no Italian, and the Pope spoke no Yiddish, so it would be a ‘silent’ debate.

The Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. The rabbi looked back and raised one finger. The Pope waved his finger around his head.

The rabbi pointed to the ground where he sat.

The Pope brought out a communion wafer and a chalice of wine. The rabbi pulled out an apple. With that, the Pope stood up and declared the rabbi the winner.

The Pope explained, “I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. He held up a single finger to remind me there is still

only one God. I waved my finger around my head to show that God was all around us. He pointed to the ground to show that God was also right here.

I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves all our sins, and he pulled out an apple to remind me of the original sin. He bested me; I could not continue.”

The Rabbi explained, “First, he told me that we had three days to get out of Italy, so I gave him the finger. Then he tells me that the whole country would be cleared of Jews and I told him that we were staying right here.”

“And then what?” asked a woman. “Who knows?” said the rabbi.

“He took out his lunch so I took out mine.”

Now that is a good story.

The story is told of

Thomas Edison who came home from school with a note. “Mom, my teacher gave this paper to me and told me only you are to read it. What does it say?”

Her eyes welled with tears as she read out loud: “Your son is a genius. This school is too small for him and doesn’t have good enough teachers to train him. Please teach him yourself.”

After his mother died, Edison found the letter his Mother read that day: “Your son is mentally deficient. We cannot let him attend our school anymore. He is expelled.”

Deeply moved, Edison wrote in his diary: “Thomas A. Edison was a mentally deficient child whose mother turned him into the genius of the Century.”

Now that is a beautiful story with some truth in

it. Edison tells us what really happened. He overheard the teacher tell the inspector that Edison was ‘addled’, confused, and it would not be worthwhile keeping him in school any longer.

“I burst out crying and went home and told my mother about it. Then I found out what a good thing a good mother is.

“She told the teacher that he didn’t know what he was talking about, that I had more brains than he himself, and a lot more talk like that. In fact, she was the most enthusiastic champion a boy ever had, and I determined right then that I would be worthy of her and show her that her confidence was not misplaced.”

Jesus has confidence in us. He told His followers, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome

Why do I?

By Linda Wegner Have you, like me, ever wondered why you continue to pursue certain things in your life? Now I’m not talking about negative, illegal, and/ or otherwise unhealthy choices, I’m talking about serving God and others in your particular way. This week I’ve faced this question regarding writing these weekly articles.

Lest you think I’m sinking in despair and self pity (which I’m not!), let me explain. It’s been just over twenty years since I sent out my first offering

to a rural newspaper. To my absolute delight they accepted it, printed it and asked for more. I’ve contributed on a weekly basis ever since and since that debut the pieces now appear in a number of other papers; I am truly blessed and honoured. My greatest challenge has been to come up with something of value on a weekly basis.

Fifty-two times twenty equals 1,040 and although I doubt I’ve missed submitting forty weeks worth, my thoughts therefore have appeared in approximately a thou-

sand articles over the past two decades. It’s no wonder there are weeks when I scan the aging brain for new ideas and my former articles for earlier topics.

Writing is my ministry these days but I know from experience that any one in any kind of service wrestles with the same question: Why do I continue? A friend and well published writer and speaker once sent me a card which I attached to the wall above my computer. This week it has become even more meaningful:

Our History Book is History In 2010 the journey to a new History Book for Carlyle and District began and a committee started to fundraise with much concern about covering costs. The support received from the Lions Club, from the Town and RM #63 and from individuals had us off to a good start and we never quit! We published Blacktop to Black Gold in 2014 and surprised ourselves with financial success! This week we decided to disperse our profit and close our account.

We have given back to the Lions Club; donated to Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge; purchased a Dicken’s Lantern that is on Main Street and a bench with a memorial plaque in front of Moose Mountain Lodge.

This week as we closed our account we donated $400 to six different community groups: Carlyle Curling Club; Carlyle Sports Arena; Swimming Pool; Cornerstone Family and Youth; Carlyle Community Hall and Carlyle Public Library.

We have 75 books left for sale at $50 apiece payable now to Town of Carlyle. Sales will be added to $200 left in Trust as startup money for the next History Book!

Many thanks to all who supported this project with special thanks to the Town Office and Huguette Lutz for administrative support and to Town Office and Pharmasave for selling books.

Our Committee consisted of Audrey Brady, Lynn Brady, Nedra Clark, Beth Corrigan, Irene Doty, Barb Haddow and Alyce Stockton.

Area firefighters suit up before competition commences at the second annual Alameda/Moose Creek Firefighters Rodeo, held Saturday, June 17 in Alameda.

For the second year running, Team Redvers were the winners of the contest.

Spectators at the Alameda/Moose Creek Second Annual Firefighters Rodeo were offered meals and refreshments which ranged from an early-morning pancake breakfast to a barbeque supper and beer gardens. Throughout the day, both fans and firefighters enjoyed barbequed burgers on site and had the opportunity to learn more about the role of rescuers and the equipment they use for a variety of scenarios. Here, Stoughton Fire Chief Bill Slater is pictured with his department’s latest piece of equipment: a grain bin extractor unit.

The second annual Alameda/Moose Creek Firefighters Rodeo featured cometitors from Alameda, Bienfait, Carnduff, Carlyle, Stoughton and Redvers.

Redvers took the event’s trophy for the second year running, but all of the firefighters view the event as a chance to come together to sharpen their lifesaving skill sets. This year one of the pieces of new equipment on display was Southeast Community College’s Confined Space Simulator (pictured here).

COUNTDOWN TO CANADA’S 150TH

1 Canadian treasures CANADA: NATURAL SOURCE OF PRIDE SINCE 1867

THE CANOE: CANADA’S FIRST COMMUTER VEHICLE The canoe may seem like a quaint little vessel, bringing to mind images of leisurely summer days drifting along a lake. But long before the Trans-Canada Highway was built, ages prior to the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and by far predating the arrival of the first Europeans in Canada, canoes were the quintessential way to commute through the wilderness of the North American landscape. No other means of transportation existed that could so swiftly relay people over the incredibly vast and untamed distances of the continent.

Canada’s Aboriginal Peoples used diverse types of canoes to navigate our country’s numerous waterways. Some of these variations were due to differences in available resources within specific regions, and others were primarily about fulfilling a particular function. Canoes could be light and easy to carry across portages, or much weightier boats fit for sea travel.

Some specific types of canoes included: Dugout canoes. Pacific Coast First Nations favoured this variation. The widespread availability of massive redwood trees allowed for the construction of larger, ocean-worthy vessels used for whale hunting. Smaller dugout canoes were also made; these were usually suitable for a single person.

The kayak, a type of skin canoe, was the primary watercraft of the Inuit. Since trees were scarce in Canada’s northernmost regions, whalebone was used to construct the frame and grey sealskin was stretched tight around it with only a small hole left on top so that once the rower was fastened inside, no water could get into the boat.

Birch bark canoes. Woodland First Nations Peoples perfected this version. It was designed to have sturdy cedar frames, be sheathed with thin strips of cedar and covered with birch bark. These boats ranged in size from 12 feet to 36 feet and could be oared by two to fourteen paddlers.

When European explorers descended upon Canada, they quickly learned what Aboriginal Peoples had long understood: the canoe was the only way to venture through the wilderness. In 1615, Champlain was the first European to use the birch bark canoe for travel, and over the next 200 years, voyageurs, missionaries, traders, explorers and soldiers used it universally. Both the Hudson’s Bay Company and the North West Company used massive canoes to transport furs. In fact, the canoe became so popular that around 1750, the French established the world’s first known canoe factory in Trois-Rivières, Quebec.

Once the railways opened up, the canoe’s primary use became recreational in nature. However, it remains an important Canadian icon and a symbol of our country’s long and diverse history, as well as a herald of the shared journey that lies ahead of us as a nation.

THE 52 LARGEST GROUPS IN CANADA’S MULTICULTURAL MOSAIC

THE STORIES BEHIND OUR SYMBOLS

CANADIANS: STRENGTH IN DIVERSITY

NORTHWEST TERRITORIES

Canadians understand that diversity is our strength. We know that Canada has succeeded—culturally, politically, economically—because of our diversity, not in spite of it.

—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, 2015

FLAG OF THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES

Canadians hail from all corners of the globe, with ancestral lineages that extend across every continent. As of the 2011 Census, Canadian citizens claimed more than 200 different ethnic origins.

Within our current population of over 36 million, approximately one in five of us are foreign-born. This number is expected to rise in the coming decades, with Statistics Canada estimating that by 2031, about one in four Canadians will be born abroad.

In 2016, Canada welcomed 320,000 newcomers, a number higher than any since 1971. Our welcoming of Syrian refugees only partly accounts for this figure. Primarily, our need to replenish a rapidly aging population has made immigration a national priority. While not every Canadian embraces newcomers with open arms, most of us recognize our diversity as an asset from which we can derive strength as nation.

However, our diversity is about more than just ethnicity. Our differences are found in the languages we speak, the religions we practice, the abilities we have, the politics we ascribe to and the resources at our disposal. So what unifies us? It may well be that the one thing we truly share as Canadians is our core set of values. Our mutual desire for peace, prosperity and fulfillment motivate us all, and our integrity, kindness and tolerance pave the way for us to achieve the brightest of futures for Canada, together.

The flag of the Northwest Territories was adopted in 1969. Its blue panels represent the territory’s many lakes and rivers, while the white panel represents snow and ice in the region.

At the centre is the territorial coat of arms depicting imagery symbolic of local resources, the Northwest Passage and the Arctic Circle.

Redvers Condo News Submitted by Doreen Holden Quite a number or our tenants have a garden that they enjoy spending time in and with the very welcome rain over the weekend, everything is looking great. Quite a few flowers have been planted out front and they should look lovely for the July 1st celebrations. In May, Jen Belisle spend some time in the hospital; her daughter Debbie and son Joey came to visit and spend time with their Mom. Recently John Sheard returned from a bus trip out west. Olive Kennedy attended her grandson’s graduation in the U.S. and Aime and Doreen returned from a 23 day England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland tour. A while back our eldest couple Irwin and Mary Hainsworth celebrated their 72nd wedding anniversary; what an accomplishment! And last week Don and Lyla Carlsen celebrated their 60th Anniversary. So you can see we are all alive and doing very well. This week we have plans for an outdoor game day and ice-cream social, weather permitting.

In Memoriam

In Loving Memory of

Betty Cochrane

Remembering a dear wife, mother and grandmother, who passed away June 21, 2014.

Those we love remain with us, For love itself lives on, Cherished memories never fade Because a loved one’s gone.

Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, For as long as there is a memory they will live on in our hearts.

Loved by husband Henry Boyd and the rest of your family

By Samantha Weaver • It was 19th-century journalist and women’s rights advocate Margaret Fuller who made the following sage observation: “A house is no home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.”

• There is a patron saint for everything, it seems. You’ve probably never heard of Saint Drogo of Sebourg, but this 12th-century Flemish noble became the patron saint of those whom others find unattractive. After he turned 18, he got rid of all his wealth, became a shepherd and made several pilgrimages to Rome. On one of these pilgrimages, he was “stricken with an unsightly bodily affliction” and became hideously deformed. In order to spare others the sight of his deformity, he was confined to a small cell attached to his village church.

Until the end of his life, 40 years later, he remained there, subsisting only on barley, water and the bread and wine of communion.

• The longest beard ever recorded belonged to a man named Hans N. Langseth. Upon his death in 1927, it was 17.5 feet long. In 1967, the beard was donated to the Smithsonian Institution.

• Those who study such things say that your ears secrete more wax when you’re afraid.

• A recent survey by Baskin-Robbins revealed some interesting trends in parenting. It seems that when trying to get kids to do an unpleasant task, dads are 75 percent more likely to use ice cream as a bribe. Also, dads are twice as likely as moms to use ice cream to resolve an argument, and 90 percent of dads give ice cream to kids who need some cheering up. *** Thought for the Day: “The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.” — Niccolo Machiavelli © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

SK. Congratulations and best wishes Mitchel and Katey in your next new adventure as husband and wife.

On June 17 Tony and Lil Blasko of Kaleden, BC arrived and will visit with her brother Ernest and Dianne Lemieux for a few days. On June 18 they all travelled to Oxbow where they visited with their brother Ed and his wife Bev Lemieux.

It was Father’s Day on Sunday, June 18 – hope you had a good day despite the rain showers that seemed to happen off and on all afternoon. Do believe we must have received at least a good inch or more of rain in total – there’s puddles everywhere and roads are

sure muddy. Hopefully that will be the end of moisture for a while, the farmers are trying their best to get the spraying finished and it seems to be an impossible job to get done this year. Good luck guys hope you can get it done soon.

My garden is slowly beginning to show it’s rows of planted seeds, after the rain we’ve had it should be, of course now it has to compete with the weeds (ha ha) and they surely can grow. One will be busy with both weeding garden and mowing lawn.

Oh well guess that’s what summer is all about. Tis weekend we had visitors to our back yard – first one was Mr. no I’ll say Mrs. B-W

Skunk as she wandered on through the yard picking up whatever she found along her way (I stayed indoors and looked out the window as this visitor passed through). Then Bambi spent a lot of quiet time browsing in the yard, even resting to do some sun-tanning by the trees, didn’t seem to mind a little activity going on by the house at all – gee they are a pretty animal. The flowers are really enjoying the weather and now with the sun shining they will be displaying their beauty. Have you noticed the flower pots on Centre Street in Alida?

They are trying to do their job of beautifying Alida, but the wind can

Kennedy/Langbank News Submitted by Connie Schwalm

It’s become decidedly greener in this area over the past week. While there is now standing water in some fields, we were fortunate to be spared the torrential rains and hail that impacted some of our neighbors to the south recently. The crops and gardens are looking very good overall.

Sadly, Father Hector Seville will be leaving this parish in the near future. A Potluck Luncheon to say “Farewell and God Bless” to Father Hector was held at St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Kennedy after mass last Sunday.

About 25 people were there, to let Father Hector know how deeply he will be missed and to wish him well at his new parish. Although no firm date is available, it is hoped that a new priest will have taken up residence here by the fall.

There is reason to hope that a “new beginning” may be coming soon for our store.

Many were disappointed when the Coffee Shop that started up at the store earlier this spring abruptly closed.

There were a fair number of people who had been regular customers.

And many were looking forward to seeing the fledgling business grow.

The store is once again to be placed on the auction block...although reports are that a conditional offer on the property might already have been made. Here’s hoping that we will soon see the doors open...and a new venture thriving on Main Street.

There is some activity at the Rodeo Grounds as preparations for the annual Moose Mountain Rodeo are underway.

Along with the usual tasks, there is a new structure being put up on the grounds. As Car-

man Loraas with Loraas Disposal explains, “Last fall, I purchased a ‘cover-all’ building.

I asked Tye (Cancade) if the Moose Mountain Rodeo Association could make use of it.

They are currently working to set it up for the Rodeo this summer.”

Carman adds that this is just one way that Loraas hopes to be active in the community.

“We are happy to be a part of the community in Kennedy, and we want to be able to contribute as much as we can. For example, along with the building, we

have also provided the signage advertising the Rodeo that has been put up in other communities. In the future, we hope to find other ways that we can ‘give back’ to Kennedy.”

Our Kennedy Langbank Under 10 Girls Softball Team officially finished their season with the Play-offs held in Oxbow last weekend (although a ‘Wind-up’ is scheduled for this coming Sunday – weather permitting). It’s been a year of real growth for the team. Congratulations to all of the players and their families as well as the friends who

came out to cheer them on. Also, a big ‘Thankyou’ to Chris and Mike Decelle and Natasha and James Husband for all of their hard work... coaching and doing all that they could to help the girls learn and grow as players...and have fun!

And that’s all that I have for you this time folks. Please give me a call (or text) at 306495-8888 and let me know if you have anything you’d like to put into the news (No Voice-mail messages please...it’s STILL not working!). Have a great week!
