Staff photo by Lynne Bell

Hometown Hero Blake Lamontagne is pictured with his mother and number-one fan, Melanie Brimner at Wawota’s Hometown Hero fundraiseing supper and dance, Saturday, Jan. 21 at the Wawota Town Hall. The event will help fund Lamontagne’s trip to Australia where the world-class waterskier and adaptive athlete will represent Canada in April at the World Disabled Water Ski Championships in Australia.

Lamontagne, 26, became a T4 incomplete paraplegic after an automobile accident nine years ago. Since then, he has become a client services coordinator for Spinal Cord Injury Saskatchewan in Regina, was personally selected by Rick Hansen to become an ambassador for the Rick Hansen Foundation and has become a world-class adaptive althlete, who as a waterskier, competed for Canada at the 2016 Disabled Water Ski National Championships in Charlotte, North Carolina, which was his most recent step on the road to the Worlds in Australia.

The fundraiser, held at Wawota Town Hall- featured a meal created and catered by The Happy Nunwas the brainchild of Lamontagne’s mother, Melanie Brimner and Happy Nun owner and chef, Katie Vinge.

“Melanie and I were at a hockey game,” says Vinge.

“And we came up with the idea of a supper and dance.”

Vinge’s husband and business partner, Riley Rid-

dell adds: “I grew up in Wawota, I know Blake and we’re honoured to be a part of this event. Blake’s just a genuinely good guy and he’s definitely overcome a lot. He was so involved in athletics growing up and it’s great too see he’s involved in them again- with sledge hockey and now, with becoming a world-ranked waterskier.”

During the event, Lamontagne spoke to his supporters, saying: “First of all, I’d like to thank Katie and Ryan from The Happy Nun for the amazing meal tonight. And I’d also like to thank my mom for organizing this event and all of the events I’m involved in.

If she didn’t organize these things, they wouldn’t exactly be available to me, so thank you for everything.”

“And to all of you guys for coming tonight and supporting me and helping me go to Australia. This means more to me than you guys will ever know.”

“Being able to go and compete for Canada and also to do this for myself- I’m beyond excited.”

Lamontagne added: “I’m getting on a plane Feb. 5 and I’ll be going to train in Brisbane (Australia) for two-and-a-half months and then, on April 24, we head to Myuna Bay where the competition is and I’ll be there to compete.”

“Thank you guys so much from the bottom of my heart for coming here and helping me to support this dream.”

Riddell spoke for the crowd when he said: “We’re happy to support him. Blake’s an inspiration to a lot of us.”

Observer Staff

Nineteen-year-old Cassie Eaton has made her mark in the equestrian worlds of cutting and rodeo. Most recently, the Arcola native joined the ranks of the top 15 cutting horse competitors in the world, placing 13th at the National Cutting Horse Association World Finals in Fort Worth, Texas. As a rodeo competitor- in barrel racing, pole bending and breakaway roping events- Eaton has earned numerous awards- among them, winning Canada’s High School Finals Rodeo title, captaining the Saskatchewan Girls’ Cinch Team and her “biggest accomplishment in rodeo so far” being named Teskey’s Top Hand- a prestigious award which is awarded to an exceptional competitor within the entire Canadian High School Rodeo Association.

“It’s mental game,” says Eaton of her success. “You’ve to stay humble but you’ve also got to believe in yourself. It’s a balance.”

“You have to be your own worst enemy and at the same time, be your biggest support system,” explains Eaton. “By that I mean you have to be confident but you have to constantly evaluate yourself and catch your own mistakes as part of getting ready to compete.”

Eaton grew up near Arcola with her parents Chad and Lisa and brothers, Zach and Tucker. She started cutting as a 10-year-old and her first foray into rodeo was as a grade eight student at the Arcola High School Rodeo.

“I love them both,” says Eaton of her dual equestrian pursuits. “I can’t leave one behind.”

Eaton had the opportunity to put her full skill set to use- both athletic and mental- when she reached the top 15 at the global cutting horse competition in Fort Worth- on a borrowed horse.

“It was a very quick, stressful trip,” laughs Eaton. “I learned that I qualified two weeks before I was supposed to go. My dad found out that I qualified before I did and asked me if I wanted to go and of course, I said “Yes!’” “But it meant that I would have to borrow a horse,” she continues. “We had good family friends down there who started calling around. I got a qualified mare but I didn’t even know her name until my mom and I got down there. We were told: ‘I think she’s brown.’”

“Right away, she was kind of like my mare Spook-who I’ve been riding since I was 12- but different. Her name was Elsewhere, but her barn name was Lexi.

We flew in late on Monday; I met her on Tuesday and we showed on Wednesday and Thursday. She was awesome, actually.”

“In the first round, we placed sixth and we ended up 13th overall.”

“It was an awesome experience and one I’ll never forget- for a lot of reasons,” says Eaton.

Eaton says that competing in both cutting and rodeo is a challenge she relishes and adds that each discipline requires a different mindset. Cutting is an

Eaton has made her mark in the equestrian world in both cutting horse competitions and rodeo events. Recently, the Arcola native reached the rank of 13th best in the world in cutting at the National Cutting Horse Association World Finals in Fort Worth, Texas in November 2016. Eaton says of her success: “It’s a mental game.

You’ve got to stay humble but you’ve also got to believe in yourself. It’s a balance.”

equestrian event in which a horse and rider are judged on their ability to separate a single animal away from a herd of cattle and keep it away for a short period of time.

“It’s kind of the ultimate showdown between a horse and rider and cows,” says Eaton.

“In cutting, I almost have to calm myself down before a competition and think through the entire process,” she says. “Rodeo’s more gritty and you’re reacting to things outside of your control. Both are fast-paced, but in cutting, I slow my mind down a lot more.”

Eaton says the bond between horse and rider is an intuitive one.

“Horses have personalities, just like people do. Some riders can have kind of a bad vibeand horses can sense that.”

“But I have to say that in the rodeo community as a whole, animals are like family members- and if one gets injured or dies, it’s devastating to everyone.”

“Right now, my two rodeo horses- Sadie and Itchy- live at college with me. My cutting horse Spook is at Cassie Eaton first started riding when she was 13-monthshome near Arcola, so old. Since then, the 19-year-old Arcola native has excelled Spook gets the winter in both cutting and rodeo events and is currently in her off,” laughs Eaton. second year of studies in Vermillion, Alberta. “I’m taking “In Canada, it’s Ag Business with a major in Livestock,” she says. “Two of hard to rodeo in win- my rodeo horses live at the school, but it can still be a bit ter,” she adds. “In of juggling to do everything,” says Eaton. “But if you really winter, you train- but love it, you just find a way to do it.” Photos Submitted in spring, summer and fall, you go hard- both in cutting and rodeo.”

“I kind of grew up on the back of a horse. It’s kind of a family thing,” says Eaton. “It is pretty physically demanding, for the rider and the horse.”

“I go to the gym and cleaning the barn can be a pretty good workout. For me, going to the chiropractor helps the horse, too. Once, my hips were out of alignment and the way I was sitting made the horses sore.”

However, Eaton adds that mental preparation is just as important to compete successfully.

“In some competitions in the past, I was nervous and I kind of talked myself out of it. I was thinking that I wasn’t good enough, but my mom told me that I’d put in the work, that I had the dedication and that I deserved the chance to succeed.”

“That helped a lot, but along with improving the way I thought about myself, I realized that putting in the work is what builds your confidence- the training and the time spent training.”

In addition to cutting, Eaton aims to compete in the Canadian Intercollegiate Rodeo Association, to continue her degree studies and to study equine chiropractic and massage therapy this summer.

“One of my short-term goals is qualify for the college rodeo finals in Calgary this spring,” she says. “And I’d like to go pro in rodeo and cutting. It’s a lot, but if you love it, you work hard and you find a way to make it work.”

When asked how she does it all, Eaton says: “There’s a saying-it’s actually a Bible verse. It’s Mark 9:23’’With God, anything is possible.’”

“There are lots of things I want to do.”

Cassie Eaton says that competing in cutting and rodeo is a challenge she relishes and adds that each discipline requires a different mindset. “In cutting, I almost have to calm myself down before a competition and think through the entire process,” she says. “Rodeo’s more gritty and you’re reacting to things outside of your control.

Arcola School’s sweet tradition Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

For years, Phyllis Cameron- Arcola’s “Cinammon Bun Lady”- has opened her home and her kitchen to countless students from the local school and this year was no exception. Cameron traditionally teaches Arcola School students the fine art of making her legendary cinnamon buns and after two days of baking, they return to class with enough of the sweet treats to share with each member of staff and every student in the school.

This year, students Ashlynn Ahenakew, Kiara Bates, Ashlynn Cutler and Kaydence Hughes attended Cameron’s baking sessions. Arcola School educational assistant, Cathy Burton says, “I had the pleasure of taking these four wonderful, kind and hardworking girls over to make cinammon buns with Arcola’s ‘Cinammon Bun Lady’, Phyllis Cameron.”

“These girls made 33 dozen cinammon- enough for the entire school,” says Burton. “We owe a huge thank you to Phyllis for inviting us over every January and teaching our students the fine art of cinammon bun baking.”

Kelly Running Observer Staff

A public alert was issued in Redvers regarding a rabies positive skunk captured in the Town of Redvers on Thursday, Jan. 19.

The public alert states that the “rabid skunk may had been in interaction with people or animals.” It is therefore important to contact Public Health Inspection at 1-888-295-8005 if you’ve recently had exposure to a skunk or abnormally behaving skunk/cat or other animal or have fed stray cats/dogs.

Suspicious animal behaviour should be reported to the Town of Redvers and avoid contact with stray animals.

Rabies is a deadly zoonotic disease – meaning it is transferable from animals to humans – and affects all types of mammals around the world. The infected animal transfers the virus via bites and scratches containing infected saliva. Once infected the virus travels to the brain and affects the central nervous system.

“Furious” rabies involves symptoms including difficulty swallowing, inability to quench thirst, and panic when given liquids to drink. The virus multiplies in the salivary glands, which results in drooling/frothing at the mouth and can cause throat spasms. The animal becomes more aggressive due to the virus as well; it can become restless, confused, and willing to bite. Approximately 10 days after the symptoms present, the animal will succumb to the disease, resulting in death, unless a vaccine is administered in time.

“Dumb” rabies results in the opposite reaction to the virus, with behaviour change causing an animal to become more affectionate or more withdrawn.

Prevention includes vaccination: a once a year vaccine helps protect your family and your family’s pet. If a non-vaccinated animal is bitten by a wild animal that is rabies positive, it may be necessary to euthanize the animal for testing or for it to be quarantined for six months. The only way to test for rabies is through a brain sample, which requires the animal to be euthanized. A vaccination helps the animal develop antibodies to fight the virus, if ever exposed to it.

Quote of the Week . . .

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops”

- Henry Adams

A turbulent time in U.S.A.

Well, Donald Trump is president and so far the world is still turning.

Personally, if I had a vote in the American election, I would not have been able to bring myself to vote for him. However, he is now the leader of the U.S.A. and just as people in Canada complain about Trudeau, he’s in power and you’ve got to give him a chance.

Kelly Running His rise to power seems as though Observer Staff it was orchestrated rather well, everything just seemed to come together for him. The negative press he received early had his name out and about; people were discussing Trump and his policies, wondering if he could ever live up to his promises.

Additionally, the Democrats kind of shot themselves in the foot by putting Hillary Clinton into the running in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong, the first female president, it was a valid effort and hopefully one day it can happen. This was not the right choice though. Despite her political knowledge, I honestly think people in the United States were just kind of done with the Clinton’s in the White House.

Although she had her own scandals, people were swaying between the two, then the FBI released the fact that they were investigating her just before the election putting all eyes on her. People decided they were done with having politicians in the White House, it came across that they lied and are crooked, so they wanted something different. Cue Donald Trump, a famous businessman.

In my personal opinion the Democrats missed an opportunity by nominating Clinton to the head of their party over Bernie Sanders. But, it was a decision made and it seems that at that point the path really started to be paved for Trump.

Now that he’s in there, however, will he be able to accomplish promises made on the campaign trail? I highly doubt it, but we’ll see. He has been voted in and needs to be given a chance. Maybe it won’t be as bad as people think. Yes, he said some controversial things in the past; but, I’ve read some of his Twitter feeds after becoming the president and it appears that he’s scaled back his write something now, check on consequences later style.

Instead it appears as though he is being more thoughtful in his actions and hopefully this continues.

During the inauguration there were protests and rioting. Throughout history, change has been made either through peaceful actions or through rebellion. However, nothing has really happened today to warrant either.

Yes, someone they don’t approve of has become president, but so far everything he has said, is just talk.

The French Revolution is typically traced back to the Storming of the Bastille, a royal fortress that had come to symbolize the tyranny of the Bourbon monarchs is an example of people wanting to make change, and peaceful protests would have been for naught.

America itself came out of conflict with the American Revolution, overthrowing British rule. So, is there a time and place for escalated actions, history would say yes as the world is where it is due to conflict. Although change has come from peaceful actions as well, it could be argued that the biggest changes resulted from actual conflict.

However, someone simply becoming president is not a time to riot or revolt because he has literally done nothing except make speeches about what he will do. Until something actually happens that warrants society’s intervention the destruction that riots and rebellion cause are for naught. Additionally, the world changes and is something like the French Revolution, American Revolution, or Civil War something that should ever happen again? Is there a better way to encourage change?

Runners: take your marks... get set...

Since 1896 the storied marathon has been part of Olympic competition for men; with an event for women being added in 1984. It is tradition for the men’s race to be held first thing on the final day of competition.

I will admit to rising at an early hour to catch this event and listen as commentators speak of the incredible athleticism and endurance exhibited by the Shelley Luedtke marathoners. No question. It is gruelling, to be sure. But consider what the World Marathon Challengers are taking on.

Approximately 30 runners, including two from Canada, will be tackling the immense physical and logistical challenge of running seven marathons on seven continents in seven days. They began in Union Glacier, Antarctica on January 23; and in the ensuing 168 hours tackled courses in Punta Arena, Miami, Madrid, Marrakech, Dubai and Sydney; running a marathon each and every day.

Competitors can expect to suffer from jet lag and sleep deprivation—not to mention what must be sheer exhaustion from running 42 kilometres each day, while battling ice, rain, wind and heat as they journey from continent to continent.

Each athlete has their own motivation for taking on the challenge. For BethAnn Telford it is about wanting to conquer all obstacles in her way since being diagnosed with brain cancer in 2004. Always an active person, one month following her surgery she entered a 5 km race, and before long marathons, triathlons and Ironman competitions were completed. “I try to be an example to others to show that anything is possible and to never, never, never, give up no matter your difficulties,” she said.

When she races she draws on an important word in her life: hope.

It evokes memories of Canadian hero Terry Fox who ran 26 miles each day from April to September 1980 hoping to cross the nation while raising money for cancer research under the banner ‘Marathon of Hope’. There it is again. Hope. That

sense of anticipation that something better is coming; that no matter the current situation it doesn’t need to define what might be true tomorrow or the days that follow.

Though cancer had taken much from Fox, his response was to give all he had to others. Choosing to demonstrate what could be accomplished by anyone, anywhere, he brought the public into his story and set out to change the conversation around cancer. He focussed on hope.

Hope is that intangible that gives us cause to want to hang in when things get tough, and the belief that the struggle right now can be eased by what is yet to come. That’s the thing about hope-we often don’t think about it until we’re confronted by challenge or blindsided by the unthinkable. It’s in the darkest days that we turn to that source of hope--when we’re looking for something to hold on to or make sense of things. But in doing so we are missing out on so much, and diminishing the powerful role hope can have day to day.

The source of my hope is my faith, but if I turn to it only in times of crisis I am missing out on the fullness of living in that hope each day of my life. Hope motivates…comforts…strengthens…and endures. It is not simply an idea to wrap within a catch phrase or slogan. It is the fountainhead of promise, the source of optimism and the reminder to look beyond oneself.

We are each required to run the race set before us. Many things on the course are of our own making--others are inclines or turns we wouldn’t have chosen. But that’s not what determines how successful the run is. It may look like the race is easier for some--tougher for others. Perhaps it is. Yet those who seem to be running with a bit more ease are doing so not because of the set of circumstances on their marathon course, but because of what they draw on. They are the ones who take each section whether rocky or smooth, tear-drenched or sun-bathed, and find in their source of hope the tenacity, perseverance and strength to run freely and with dignity. They are the ones who see living with courage, conviction, benevolence, bravery, grace and gratitude as the ultimate marathon of hope.

That’s my outlook.

An alternate reality

As I layer up to head out the door I have a flash back to last week ...

Instead of the hum of the furnace fan running in the background there is the roar Jocelyn Hainsworth of waves crashing in the distance – great mounds of salt water rearing up, gathering power as it reaches the beach and then tumbling over itself in a roiling, boiling, foaming conflict of water being swept in to shore and water receding out to sea again.

I love standing in the middle of this action and feeling the sand beneath my feet being sucked away by the withdrawing wave.

I suppose the closest thing we have to that here is the way the wind takes the snow and sculpts it into weird and wonderful shapes along fence lines and around trees and buildings. Probably the exact same principles of Nature and wave action apply. I’m not saying that both aren’t beautiful in their own way, but somehow sand and water are more pleasant mediums than snow and wind to enjoy.

I look down at my feet. Last week it was pretty painted toe nails in a pair of flip flops; this morning it is two pairs of socks and a pair of heavy snow boots. Last week all I had to do was lift my

foot and shake it a bit to get rid of the unwanted sand/grit between my foot and my sandal; this week I have tucked my pant leg into the top of the big wooly socks I borrowed from my husband’s drawer and then tightened up my boot tops so that no snow can get in. That stuff doesn’t shake out, it melts and makes your feet wet and cold.

I’m doing this for the dog. He’s crazy to get outside and have a run, and has some kind of conviction that this can only be done if one of his humans accompany him. Otherwise I think I would not be leaving the house.

But to make him happy I open the door and step out into the extremely fresh air and we head down the road. He runs from ditch to ditch, digging holes where he remembers the muskrats were last fall and then chasing after a rabbit or leaving his calling card for any coyotes bold enough to enter his space. For my part, I lolly-gag along day-dreaming about the scenery there was to see last week: the palm trees, the para-sailers taking off and landing, the sun bathers shiny with suntan oil, the children building castles in the sand, the pelicans gliding above the waves until they spot their breakfast and then folding their wings and dropping into the water in what looks like a crash landing only to pop back up to swallow whatever they caught. There

had to be nearly two miles of beach to walk and if we waited until after 10:00 it was too hot to go regardless if we were already down to our bathing suits by that hour.

And here I am – a half mile from home and wishing I would have taken a thicker scarf. It’s hard to believe that I’m still on the same planet.

Ironically we had the same feeling while we were there. Through the modern magic of cell phone technology and the app that keeps us instantly updated with weather conditions at home we would come back from cooling off at the swim up bar to see that it was 38 degrees below zero with a wind chill that took it to minus 44. Or that there was another storm on its way. Or that the RCMP were warning the whole province to stay home because of extreme road conditions.

Just try to explain these circumstances to the guy bringing you that cervesa and lime you just ordered. He’ll be polite and nod his head but he doesn’t really believe it gets that cold anywhere – or if it does, that humans can actually live through it. If he can grasp the concept at all it’s his idea of an alternate reality.

And, a week back into our Canadian reality I agree with him. How can these two environments exist at the same time? On the same planet? I must have dreamt the whole thing.

The missing calf This warm weather has stuck around, making it hard to remember how we survived that bitter cold snap! It seems that January has flown by, but who am I kidding, every month Krystyn Gillies seems to fly by. I was telling my husband my logic the other day; January is almost over, February is a short month, and then it will warm up and start to melt in March and April, so spring is pretty much here. He didn’t think I was funny, but I like to be optimistic.

The warmer weather has been nice, but the warmth plus the melty snow equals more stuck time. In October, last year, we brought our cow herds back to our farm to sort and ship. Of course, there is always one or two animals that don’t cooperate. That day, one little black calf decided she was going back to the last place she saw her momma and there as nothing we could do to change her mind.

She snuck into a neighbor’s pasture and the lovely couple who own the cows in that pasture told us that she was no trouble and they would let us know when we could pick her up. Fast forward to last weekend. It was time to pick her up, so we decided Sunday was the best day to retrieve her.

Our big pulling truck was in the shop for a week or two and is just waiting on parts for a brake replacement, so we needed to use my dads truck to pull the trailer. My husband took the extra time to push the snow out of the way of the trailer so it would be super easy to back in and pull it out. Of course, it looked good on paper, but did NOT turn out that way.

My parents rolled in just before lunchtime and very quickly found themselves stuck in the yard, trying to unload some salt blocks in the shed. My husband went out and they managed to get it unstuck and aimed towards the trailer. A few minutes later, stuck again! The soft snow made it very hard to get enough momentum to back all the way in.

As soon as you would touch the gas pedal, the tires would spin and instantly make an icy patch.

By the time I got outside, they were two inches from having the ball in the hitch opening, but the truck was just spinning. Together, my husband and I rocked and pushed the truck out and we found some contraptions that you stick under the tire for traction, and put them in place.

My dad, who can normally back into a trailer hook up with his eyes closed, drove back and forth about eight times before he was finally able to flatten out the ruts from being stuck. Every time he got

in the ruts, the truck would shift over and he would miss the hitch. Finally, on the ninth time we got it hooked up and went in to have lunch quick before we headed out.

When we got to the neighbors farm, dad backed up to the load out chute and we tried to open the sliding door, but it was stuck. Really stuck. Finally, the three of us wiggled and pushed and pulled until it finally slid almost all the way open. It needed a couple more inches so I grabbed a hold and pulled and the guys pushed and finally, crash, it slammed open. Then the pain hit me.

I managed to squeak out that my finger was

Through the Lens Moose Mountain Photography Club

caught in the doors and they pulled it back enough for me to pull it out. Thankfully, it was just pinched and not smashed or broken, but boy did it hurt.

After that we were able to load the looney calf and bring her back to the pen of replacement heifers.

By the time we got back home, my husband had cleared out the spot where we store the trailer and it was simple to just pull in and park it. Of course, I am sure that there will be a lot more snow and probably grass before we need to use it again, but it is nice to know that as of right now, it is clear of snow and ready to roll. I am also happy to report that my finger doesn’t hurt anymore and all is well!

Carlyle PureChem Cougars finishing up regular season Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Carlyle PureChem Cougars have been working hard this week in games against Yellow Grass and Midale.

The Cougars hosted Yellow Grass on Friday, Jan. 20. It was an exciting night as the Cougars, sponsored by Carlyle Pharmasave, hosted a Chance to Win to lucky 50/50 draw contenders which were chosen in home games leading up to Jan. 20. This included Ian Templeton and Dan Peebles – Peebles earned two opportunities out of the three chances offered luckily being chosen twice in the draw. The shoot out was held during the second intermission.

Each shot to win came with a chance of earning $25,000.

The Cougars put up a fight in their competition against Yellow Grass, but were unable to capitalize on opportunities leading to a 5-0 win for Yellow Grass.

Yellow Grass’ Brendon Vertefeuille earned a hat trick with two goals in the first: one was assisted by Troy Miller and the other by Brock Appleyard and Justin Richter. In the third period he earned an unassisted goal.

Also, in the third Yellow Grass’ Troy Miller earned a goal assisted by Appleyard and Justin Richter earned one assisted by Vertefeuille and Miller.

The Cougars bounced back from that game on Friday to come out strong on Saturday, Jan. 21, against Midale.

The Cougars came out to a quick lead just under three minutes into the first with Cooper Fox finding the net assisted by Dallas Lequyer and Brent McLean.

Heading into the second Midale seemed to have the momentum though and came away with two quick goals, both under a minute into play. Braden Kmita earned a goal assisted by Steven Lindenbach and Kaelum Bieber, while Lindenbach earned a goal assisted by Bieber and Ryan Kolke in short order.

Josh Hohn follows play action, ready for anything on Saturday, Jan. 21. Up against the Midale Mustangs, Hohn had a quick glove making a few particularly impressive saves during the night.

Midale had a strong second period with Garrett Sherlock finding the net assisted by Tyler Hoium and Brad Tomiski.

Ahead three to one, the Cougars rallied together and Brett Turgeon earned a goal with assists from Joey Eaton and Brent McLean closing the gap to one.

Midale took control of the final five minutes of the second period with Lindenbach scoring off an assist

by Cole Sjostrand, then Kaelum Bieber earned one with an assist by Sherlock.

Carlyle Pharmasave and Carlyle PureChem Cougars team up for $75,000 shoot-out Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

It wasn’t a case of third-time lucky for Manor’s Dan Peebles, but he and his neighbour, Ian Templeton walked away from the Carlyle PureChem Cougars/Yellowgrass Wheat Kings game on Friday, Jan. 20 with a story to tell and a $100 Carlyle Pharmasave gift card each.

During the Cougars’ December games, Peebles and Templeton won the chance to take part in the Carlyle Pharmasave’s Chance to Win $25,000 on Jan. 20 in a shoot-out.

Peebles won an unprecedented two chances to shoot, which could have potentially netted him $50,000, while Templeton won a chance to walk away with $25,000.

However, the task wasn’t an easy one, according to Carlyle Pharmasave’s Steve Schultz.

“They’re shooting from 89 feet away and the slot they have to put the puck through is three and a half by one and a half inches, so it’s barely bigger than a puck.”

Peebles and Templeton both confessed to being “a bit nervous” before taking to the ice between the game’s second and third periods with Templeton joking that his neighbour’s fence “might be a little higher if Dan wins.”

“But seriously, they’re great neighbours and Shirley (Dan’s partner) has been wishing us both well on Facebook.”

Schultz added: “The Cougars were looking for a sponsor and I was happy to do this. It was a lot of fun and both guys were great sports.”

Don’t feed the wildlife

Best Intentions May Cause More Harm Than Good Many parts of Saskatchewan have already seen nasty weather this winter, and it’s expected to return. Extreme cold, high wind chill values and snow storms make this season challenging for Saskatchewan residents. Severe winters often cause people to be concerned about the welfare of the province’s wildlife, including the white-tailed deer population.

The Ministry of Environment has received calls recently from individuals wanting to feed deer in areas of the province such as the southeast. While these concerns are understandable, these well-intended actions can be detrimental to deer populations.

Biological adaptations, such as a thick winter coat, fat reserves, a reduced metabolic rate and sedentary behaviour, help deer survive severe winters. Even with all the food they want, deer will still rely on their fat reserves and lose weight over winter. Although winter-related starvation can occur, trying to save them through supplemental feeding can end up causing them more harm than good.

Deer are ruminants and have a four-part stomach. They rely on microbes to help digest the woody vegetation that makes up much of their winter diet. When deer eat food such as hay, which is not part of their normal winter diet, they cannot digest it and may end up starving to death, even with a full stomach.

Carbohydrate-rich food sources, such as grains provided as emergency dietary supplements, can also be fatal.

Supplemental winter feeding can also result in other negative consequences such as congregating animals, drawing animals in from long distances and away from good winter cover, increased predation and disease concerns.

Research has shown that deer in relatively good condition can fast for several weeks without suffering any harmful effects.

Deer also migrate to wintering areas with thick overhead cover and natural winter food sources. One way Saskatchewan residents can support deer populations is to ensure that larger blocks of tree cover, such as aspen bluffs, remain intact. These areas provide the cover and sufficient food for deer to survive the winter.

COUNTDOWN TO CANADA’S 150TH

22 CANADA: NATURAL SOURCE OF PRIDE SINCE 1867

Breaking down the gender barrier in Canada’s military WENDY CLAY

Canadian Armed Forces Surgeon General A specialist in Aviation medicine, Wendy Clay is most impressive for the many firsts she achieved as a woman in the military. This UBC medical school graduate was the first female officer cadet in the Royal Canadian Navy, the first woman to achieve her pilot’s wings in the Canadian Air Forces, the first woman to earn a degree in aviation medicine, and, perhaps most notably the first female Surgeon General in the Armed Forces.

Wendy Clay was born and raised in British Columbia. In 1965, at 23 years of age, she commenced her military career by enrolling in the navy, under the Medical Officer Training Program. She was still a medical student then, and was posted 1967 to the Canadian Forces Wendy Clay in the cockpit of the CT-114 Tutor aircraft. 19 August 1974. MJ74-1221, DND Archives.

Base in Trenton, Ontario, upon the completion of her degree. In Trenton, Clay served as a general duty medical officer before starting her first training to become a Canadian Forces flight surgeon.

Over her 30-year military career, Clay rose steadily through the ranks and held various positions of prestige—some of which women had never before occupied. In 1977, she was promoted to lieutenant-colonel; in 1982 she was made colonel; in 1989 she became brigadier general; in 1992 she was made deputy surgeon general; and finally, in 1994, Wendy Clay was promoted to both major-general and surgeon-general simultaneously.

Of all her groundbreaking achievements, it was getting her pilot’s wings in 1974 that stands out to Wendy Clay herself as the most impressive. It would be another six years before this was even a possibility for women in the military.

While she primarily served at home in a range of positions in cities and towns throughout Canada, she also completed a six-month tour of duty with the Canadian United Nations contingent in the Middle East. At home, her appointments included impressive positions such as Director of Preventative Medicine, Commandant of the National Defence Medical Centre, and ultimately Surgeon-General.

In 1998 Wendy Clay retired from the military and returned to British Columbia. She currently resides in Victoria, where she spends her time volunteering for various causes and organizations.

THE 52 LARGEST GROUPS IN CANADA’S MULTICULTURAL MOSAIC

CANADA’S PORTUGUESE COMMUNITY Portuguese explorers in the 15th and 16th centuries were among the first Europeans to touch Canadian soil. Though some of this early history is murky, it’s been clearly established that in 1501, Portuguese explorer Gaspar Corte-Real landed in Newfoundland. His statue stands in St. John’s to this day. Many place names in Atlantic Canada serve as a reminder of this early Portuguese influence, including Labrador, which many scholars believe to be taken from the Portuguese word for farmer, lavrador.

Despite centuries of contact, the Portuguese only started to immigrate to Canada in substantial numbers in the 1950s. They arrived primarily from the Azores but also from Madeira and continental Portugal. As of the 2006 Census, Canada has 410,850 citizens that claim at least some Portuguese ancestry. The majority of them are in Ontario—with the highest concentration in Kitchener—but there’s also a substantial number in Quebec and British Columbia. Substantial populations of Portuguese–Canadians also thrive in Winnipeg, Hamilton and Vancouver.

The Portuguese have a number of cultural clubs in major cities, and Toronto even has a Little Portugal just west of downtown. Portuguese language and culture are often taught in after-hours school as well as at several schools and universities across Canada. Portuguese newspapers are printed in Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg and Vancouver.

Portuguese-Canadians are a valued part of the Canadian mosaic who positively influence a number of sectors including the arts, music, politics and athletics. Some of the more recognizable Portuguese-Canadians include musician Nelly Furtado, actor Louis Ferreira, economist and politician Carlos Leitão and BC Lions Head Coach, Mike Benevides.

October — The National Hockey League begins its 101st season (Game 1, Season 1 was in November, 1917), meaning it has been 50 years since the 1967 Toronto Maple Leafs last won the Stanley Cup. This means, of course, that Season 101 will be Season 51 of the Leafs’ futility.

Holy ground and belonging to God

By Ken Rolheiser Most readers are familiar with Exodus 3: 3 where Moses sees the burning bush and God speaks to him. Strangely, the bush was not being consumed and Moses realized something was up. Pun intended. God told Moses to take off his shoes because he was on holy ground.

If I may be permitted one more “tongue in cheek” remark, some have speculated about just how hot the ground might have been. One comedian claimed this passage made the first reference to the name of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament.

The great truth here is that God had heard of his people’s cries as they suffered persecution from the Egyptians. Moses is called to lead the Israelites to freedom, though he resists the seeming mission impossible.

As God’s people we also suffer in the present milieu that enslaves us in many ways. We hear many gospel singers, and others, echo the “holy ground” theme. God still walks with us and the places we meet might well be called holy ground.

Popular singer Taylor Swift uses the line “And right there where we stood was holy ground” to underline the sacredness and joy of the moment a couple realizes they are in love.

The thought struck me that when the moment comes that we realize how much God loves us, it is then that we are truly on holy ground. God hears our cries when we pray most dire prayers. He sees our suffering, and then he sends us comfort.

Another Taylor Swift lyric “You belong with

me” comes to mind that could describe our relationship with God: Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find That what you’re looking for has been here the whole time. If you could see That I’m the one Who understands you. Been here all along. So, why can’t you see You belong with me…

It’s not a big stretch to say that God makes you laugh, knows your favourite songs, knows about your dreams. God’s thoughts might well be: Think I know where you belong, Think I know it’s with me.

Another “You Belong with Me” lyric comes to mind from Patsy Cline (this may date me): See the pyramids along the Nile Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle Just remember darlin’ all the while You belong to me Yes, the same God who delivered the Israelite along the Nile is here to deliver us from our slavery, whatever it may be. We belong to him.

Barbara Streisand echoes the familiar “On Holy Ground” lyrics: When I walked through the doors I sensed His presence And I knew this was a place where love abounds For this is a temple, the God we love abides here Oh, we are standing in His presence on holy ground We are standing on holy ground And I know, I know there are angels all around Let us praise, praise Him now For we are standing in His presence on holy ground (Songwriter – Geron La Ray Davis)

milestones

Every life is a story.

There are milestones that we can’t wait to share, while there are others that we wish we didn’t have to.

These stages of life are an undeniable part of the human journey, and we invite you to share yours with us in our weekly Life’s Milestones.

Are you celebrating an anniversary or birth, or you’d like to announce your engagement? Is your youngest child graduating, or perhaps a colleague is retiring? Has a loved one passed away, or would you like to remember one in some special way?

CONTACT US TO ADVERTISE YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT IN NEXT WEEK’S ISSUE.

OBITUARIES Alyce Nora (Eckert) Stockton Alyce was born, at home, in Carlyle, Saskatchewan on August 15, 1927. She passed away at the Moose Mountain Lodge in Carlyle on January 17, 2017. She was the second youngest of eleven children born to Adolf and Olga Eckert.

She was pre-deceased by her parents, her husband Russell Stockton, her daughter Jill Bonnetta, brothers Art, Bill, Ben and Albert Eckert, sisters Lydia Litke, Elsie McJannet, Alma McEwan, Erna Harrop, Lena Lewis and Tudy Wesneski.

She is survived by her son Walter and his wife Margaret, son Leighton and his wife Sandy, grandchildren Chris and his wife Ailsa Birnie, Jon, Brittany and her partner Kurtis Stevenson, Joshua, Rebecca, Samantha, Paige (Bonnetta) Boudreau and her husband Eric, Drew Bonnetta, and great grandchildren Choice, Fischer and Sawyer Stevenson; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, friends and relatives.

Alyce grew up in Carlyle where she attended both elementary and high school. Her first job was working at the Canada Cafe, as a waitress, to earn money to buy textbooks for Grade 12. The summer after Grade 12 she worked in the Hotel Beach Store at Carlyle Lake and following that worked at G.W. Stockton’s General Store. In later years she could be found working at Wilson’s and Lawrek’s Specialty Shops. Most importantly, in 1948 she started working at Stockton’s Electric.

In 1951, as she would tell you, she married the boss, Russell Stockton, and together they had three children: Jill, Walter and Leighton.

She championed her community, volunteering for C.G.I.T, both Carlyle History Books, the Canada and Saskatchewan Centennial Celebrations, Homecoming ’71, numerous fundraisers and was a founding member of the Dickens’ Festival. She was also a long time contributor to the Carlyle Observer.

Family was most important to Alyce. She was a loving and nurturing wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Although she was the second youngest of her siblings, she became the matriarch of her greater family, holding a special place in the hearts of many of her nieces and nephews. She embraced her close friends as family and was “Grandma” or “Auntie Alyce” to many of them.

For over 60 years she lived in her little house, in the big yard, and her wish was to remain at home as long as possible. This was accomplished through the support of her loving community and her “Earth Angels” with whom she’d been blessed.

She spent her final days in respite at the Moose Mountain Lodge, in Carlyle, where she was welcomed by a warm and caring staff, while still being able to receive comfort from her friends and family, She passed, peacefully, on January 17, 2017 surrounded by her “Earth Angels”.

Weaving Careers into Curriculum

This spring, a new cohort of University of Saskatchewan graduates will cross the stage at convocation with a diverse set of employable skills.

Connecting new grads to their future careers involves more than handing them their parchment, however.

Those with a job already lined up when they receive their degrees will have taken advantage of the university’s career planning and skills training resources, and many will be graduating with onthe-job experience built in to their program.

Helping students to find a return on investment for their education is a focus at the university’s Student Employment and Career Centre (SECC). For manager John Ault, ensuring students are exposed to career planning and readiness at the right steps along the way is critical to this

goal.

“Careers are just one part of the student life cycle,” he said. “They’re balancing many priorities and our programming has to be flexible to meet different needs.”

While Ault and his team encourage students to engage early and often with the SECC and other campus supports, they recognize that students aren’t always quick to set aside time to come in to the office.

Ault and his team work with colleges to embed career readiness pieces into the curriculum, as well as connect students to employers that offer internships and co-ops.

AnneMarie Dewar, a chemical engineering student in her final year took part in the Engineering Professional Internship Program (EPIP) last year.

Dewar says the internship helped solidify her

decision to work in the oil and gas industry.

The twelve-month internship, which she applied for through the SECC, was an eye-opening experience and provided the chance to work with other departments in her industry. “I applied for every internship that was available,” she laughed. “Reading the job descriptions? They were all foreign to me. But working in the job I had, I found different things I liked and I’ve applied for jobs in a couple areas.”

Though the EPIP added a year to her degree, Dewar’s work as an intern counts towards her professional designation.

“In the end, you’re in the exact same spot as someone who graduated and then got a year of experience. It’s just nice that you’re considered a fulltime student when you’re doing it,” she explained.

Of the service she re-

ceived at the SECC when applying for the EPIP and now that she is looking for

her first job as an engineerin-training, Dewar says, “students don’t always

recognize how helpful it is until they’re pushed to go.

Take the advantage.”

Ground-breaking Social Finance Pilot Assists Unemployed Canadians

Saskatchewan Polytechnic is pleased to be part of the Essential Skills Social Finance (ESSF) project, dedicated to improving the skills of unemployed Canadians. Thanks to our Saskatchewan investor, Conexus Credit Union for helping start the first social finance project of this kind in Canada.

Canada has achieved an important milestone in its commitment to social

financing for public good.

The Government of Canada, private investors, and colleges and institutes are pushing the boundaries of social innovation and impact investing by implementing the first social finance project of its kind in Canada.

As the key project intermediary Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) is leveraging the principles of social finance through so-

cial impact bonds (SIB) to raise upfront capital from private investors who are looking to support societal good while receiving a financial return.

With capital raised from three investors – Conexus Credit Union, the Catherine Donnelly Foundation, and Dave and Pamela Richardson and Family, the Essential Skills Social Finance (ESSF) project is now moving forward with

Saskatchewan Polytechnic celebrates Indigenous success stories, every month of the year

Photo courtesy of the Saskatchewan Polytechnic

The annual Aboriginal Student Achievement Plan (ASAP) Calendar features student, alumni and employee success stories.

While some calendars feature cute animals or silly jokes, the ASAP calendar seeks to inspire individuals by sharing some of the stories of Indigenous students and employees who have found success with both personal and educational goals at Saskatchewan Polytechnic.

“There are so many success stories we could share, it’s often hard to pick only 12,” says Jason Seright, director of Aboriginal Strategy. “This calendar is just one way to show people across the province, and across the country, that Sask Polytech puts a lot of effort into ensuring all of our students have an equal opportunity to succeed.”

According to Seright,

celebrating Indigenous success is about recognizing the importance of Indigenous peoples throughout Sask Polytech, within our home communities and to Saskatchewan’s economy.

Each of the 12 stories are unique and describe how programs, such as ASAP and student services, helped the individual overcome challenges to achieve success. Erik Mayes, who is featured for the month of February, shares his story about travelling all the way from Whitehorse, Yukon, to attend the Computer Engineering Technology program in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

“They helped me figure out my way around the city and find a place to live,” says Mayes. “It was a big help to know I didn’t need to do all of that on my own.”

ASAP is an institutionwide strategy to provide Indigenous students with a variety of services that enhance the student experience and remove barriers to success. Enrolment for Indigenous students at Sask Polytech has increased 31 per cent since the 2011-12 academic year.

Currently representing 18 per cent of the total student population, Indigenous students are a valued part of the Sask Polytech community.

“We want to ensure that sharing Indigenous success stories is the norm at Sask Polytech, not the exception,” says Seright.

“This calendar is just one way we reach that goal and we’re very proud of it.

the delivery of essentialskills training to improve the skills levels of unemployed adult Canadians.

Essential skills are needed for work and learning and help people evolve with their jobs and adapt to changes in the workplace. Improvements in literacy, numeracy and computer use for Canadians with low essential skills can create better employment outcomes, accelerate inclusive growth, and diminish social and economic disparities.

If participants in the

ESSF project achieve a demonstrated skills gain, the initial investments will be reimbursed, and investors may receive up to an additional 15% as a return on investment.

Through this pilot project, the Government of Canada is testing whether a pay-for-performance mod-

el utilizing social impact bonds is an effective way to increase the essential-skills levels of unemployed or displaced Canadians currently seeking work, or additional education or training.

DRILLING REPORT

Accelerating production for Canadian farmers

By Calvin Daniels No one can suggest Canadian farmers are being complacent in terms of producing crops.

In fact, the farm sector in Canada has been very proactive in setting targets to increase the amount of crop grown on an acre of land.

The latest example of the forward thinking came from the Pulse Canada Board of Directors recently. They want the industry to accelerate production to help generate significant new demand for pulses and pulse ingredients by 2025. Board members set the ‘25 by 2025’ target as part of the association’s recent planning process and will now embark on an effort to unite the industry around the bold new goal.

In this case the Association first looks to broaden demand for pulse crops with a goal to create new demand in new use categories for 25 per cent of its productive capacity.

The idea is to make inroads into areas such as snack foods, and breakfast cereals. They

reason pulse fit such areas based on crop aspects such as high protein, fibre, and slowly digestible starch.

The industry made the announcement on January 18, 2017, the second annual Global Pulse Day. The day is one whereby the global pulse industry works to increase public awareness of the impact that pulses can have on the health of people and the health of the planet.

Certainly here in Canada there is room to build consumer awareness both at the processor level, and the family table since pulses are not as widely used here as in many parts of the world.

The need to diversify markets is in response to increasing production.

According to a recent release the Canadian pulse industry continued to expand production in 2016 to meet strong demand with a 28 per cent increase in lentil production and a 51 per cent increase in pea production over last year.

Such production numbers do vary of course based on expect-

Friday, January 27, 2017

CORRESPONDENTS WANTED

ed commodity prices.

There are finite crop acres and while farmers do utilize basic rotations based on best practices, acres do also shift within that rotation based on price expectations.

By growing markets for pulses the industry stands to create greater demand to buoy prices and carve a more significant piece of the annual production pie.

Of course the pulse initiative is not unique.

In 2014 the Canola Council of Canada (CCC) today a 10-year plan to capitalize on the world’s growing appetite for healthier oils and protein.

Called Keep it Coming 2025, the plan focused on generating more profit for the farmer from every acre grown, while building canola’s value in key markets. The 2025 target is an increase to an average 52 bushels per acre, for 26 million metric tonnes of production to meet global market demand for canola.

Such planning by farmer-led industry groups is essential to continue to ensure farm profitability and to feed a growing world population.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Friday, January 27, 2017

NOW HIRING Journeyman HEAVY DUTY MECHANIC Work is based out of Kipling and will require some travel. Work will include field service, trouble shooting & repair work of heavy duty equipment and trucks. Experience with CAT, Hitachi and Kenworth Trucks is an asset. We are a progressive earth moving Construction Company in southeast SK offering competitive wages and benefits.

By Linda Wegner Yesterday I attended the funeral of a woman from our community. Although I did not know her personally, some of her children, daughters-inlaw and grandchildren are friends.

During the course of the service, much was said of her commitment to Christ and of a lifestyle characterized by faith. Growing up in a solid Canadian prairie Mennonite background, I wrongly assumed that she was born with a “work hard” gene firmly implanted in her DNA; in a beautiful but fun-filled tribute to their grandmother, one of her grandsons told of how as a child she would hide in the outhouse with a book, trying to avoid detection and household chores.

Another story the same grandson avers has never before been revealed, involved his distaste for trigonometry.

Seems a particular assignment was the last hurdle to overcome; by failing

to successfully complete that work, he would fail the course and be required to re-take it. Grandma heard about it and being a woman who cared deeply about the feelings of her offspring, she paid another grandson to complete the work. He got $20 out of the deal and the errant child didn’t have to repeat trigonometry. Say what you will about the wisdom of such a move, it removed a lot of stress from a teenager’s life. For those in attendance, the revelation of that long-held secret also provided a lot of laughter.

Attending that funeral made me think seriously about what people will have to say at my celebration of life.

There are things that I’m proud of, things that I wish I’d not done or done differently and things I’d like to have accomplished but never did. Above all, though, I long to leave a legacy of personal integrity and faithfulness to God.

2017 Saskatchewanderer brings Saskatchewan pride and humour to the role The 2017 Saskatchewanderer is a small-town guy with five years of world travelling experience, who is ready to share Saskatchewan stories. Andrew Hiltz is from Coronach, Saskatchewan, and brings with him a background in marketing and a passion to explore.

Hiltz has spent the last five years visiting Europe, Australia, and North and South America.

Along the way he has documented his travels through photography, videography and journaling.

He focused on trying new things, meeting fascinating people, and updating his social media along the way so that “mom knew where I was.”

Hiltz takes pride in the experience he gained from working with local businesses, such as Richardson Pioneer, which equipped him with a better understanding of Saskatchewan agriculture, and SaskPower where he learned about the operations of a coal-fired power station. Being the Saskatchewanderer has been a goal of his for a long time.

“Friends and family have been encouraging me to apply for this job since day one,” Hiltz said. “This was the first year that the stars aligned and I truly felt ready to take on the challenge.”

“In addition to an incredible sense of humour, Andrew brings impressive skills to the role of 2017 Saskatchewanderer and will be a terrific ambassador for the province,” Minister responsible for Tourism Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said. “The year ahead will provide him a chance to share new discoveries about this great province, its friendly citizens and communities, and the Entrepreneurial and job opportunities in Saskatchewan.”

“This program is now in its seventh year,” Minister responsible for Parks, Culture and Sport Ken Cheveldayoff said. “All of our past Wanderers have brought something special to the program and encouraged growth on the social media following; Andrew will be no exception. I look forward to following Andrew this year and discovering all there is to see and do in Saskatchewan.”

CAA Saskatchewan has been a proud sponsor of the Saskatchewanderer program since it began in 2011.

“As Saskatchewan’s automobile association of choice, we are pleased to be the official sponsor of the 2017 Saskatchewanderer,” CAA Saskatchewan President and CEO Fred Titanich said. “This year, CAA Saskatchewan is celebrating a century of service to our valued members. We’re very excited to have Andrew Hiltz, the new Saskatchewanderer, celebrate with us. Watch for Andrew at our monthly Celebrate 100 Years parties taking place at our 12 CAA stores and also at Regina Battery Depot. He’ll also join us at several of our community events.”

DirectWest has come onboard this year as the official search partner.

“As a digital marketing services company, DirectWest is delighted to be the Saskatchewanderer’s official search partner,” Vice-President of Marketing Colin Savage said. “We are eager to support Andrew as he uses mysask411.com, the Mysask411 Mobile App and the SaskTel Phonebook to find local information and businesses across our wonderful province. We are equally excited to witness how our partnership will grow awareness of Saskatchewan businesses and support people to find and discover local information – however, wherever and whenever they need it.”

Planning the next year of travels for Hiltz is underway. If you have a story idea that you’d like to share with him, connect with him on Facebook at www.facebook.com/skwanderer, Twitter @skwanderer or Instagram @saskatchewanderer. To keep up with the latest blogs, follow him on YouTube at www.youtube.com/user/skwandererofficial or visit the website at www.saskatchewanderer.ca.

Hiltz will be employed as the Saskatchewanderer until December 2017.

The Saskatchewanderer program is supported

by Tourism Saskatchewan, the Ministries of Agriculture, Economy and Parks as well as Culture and Sport. The program’s mandate is to promote the many ways that Saskatchewan is an amazing place to live, work and play.
