Katie Vinge-Riddell’s legacy lives on at Forget fundraiser Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Katie Vinge-Riddell’s father said of his daughter: “Katie left all of us a little better when she got us. And the scholarship in her name at NAIT will ensure that we can help the profession of culinary arts and leave it a bit better for future students in this program.”

Katie’s Kitchen was open again, as family, friends and fans gathered at Forget’s Happy Nun Cafe, Saturday, Aug. 12 for an evening of food, friendship and fond memories to benefit the Katie Vinge-Riddell “Nailed It” Memorial Scholarship at Edmonton’s NAIT Culinary Arts School, in honour of the awardwinning young chef and owner of Forget’s The Happy Nun Cafe.

The evening was, unsurprisingly, sold-out. Guests dined on a four-course meal created by Chef Tim Davies of Regina’s Willows on Wascana restaurant, who volunteered his expertise for the evening in order to pay tribute to his one-time apprentice.

“I was privileged to be invited to do this; we worked closely together,” said Davies, whose wife Sheeli Davies, assisted him in the kitchen.

Katie’s sister, sommelier Jillian Vinge, oversaw wine pairing for each course, while the young chef’s husband, Riley Riddell tended bar.

“Our family and the Vinge family have had so much support during this difficult time,” said Riddell. “It’s good to be back at The Happy Nun with all of our friends and family.”

Jillian agreed, adding: “We’re happy to bring life into The Happy Nun again.”

Katie’s friend, Roxann Waelchili was one of the young chef’s many friends and staff members who volunteered their time and talents to make the evening a success, along with musicians Wool Tree Grove.

“We’re all friends of Katie’s here tonight and we all came together,” said Waelchli. “It’s hard, because we miss her so much, but tonight is just a lot of love for a special girl.”

Prior to the fundraiser, Katie’s mother, Connie Vinge said, “The scholarship is entitled the Katie Vinge-Riddell “Nailed It” Memorial Scholarship, because that was her favourite saying when her food turned out perfectly - which really, was 100 percent of the time.”

“What we, as her family, want to do with this scholarship is to create opportunities for young chefs to follow their dreams and further their education like Katie did. The requirements for the scholarship are for a second-year Culinary Arts student at NAIT who displays passion, creativity, teamwork and consideration for others - all characteristics she exhibited.”

From Front page - Katie Vinge-Riddell Katie’s father, Tim Vinge, graciously addressed the crowd, starting with numerous thank yous, and briefly referring to the book, ‘When Bad Things Happen to Good People’ by Rabbi Harold Kushner.

“When bad things happened to our Katie, the folks from Saskatchewan were there to help us, as well as our good friends. This is the way people from Saskatchewan are, and the gratitude that we have for what you have done is beyond words.”

Tim addressed his daughter’s considerable professional and personal attributes, which included The Happy Nun’s numerous awards and accolades - the result of Katie’s talent and hard work. Since 2015, the restaurant was showcased by television’s ‘The Prarie Diner’, CTV’s Small-Town Saskatchewan Summer Tour, The Saskatchewanderer, and the Saskscapes podcast with Saskatoon radio personality, Kevin Power. Katie also addressed the Community Futures and Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan as their keynote speaker.

The Happy Nun was also awarded The Saskatchewan Tourism Award of Excellence and earned a five-star rating from TripAdvisor for Top Canadian Cuisine and Live Entertainment, as well as five stars for Top Family-Friendly Dining.

Most recently, the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) spent three days with Katie at The Happy Nun for a BBC Online feature, an event which Tim remembered with a smile.

“When she told me The Happy Nun was being featured by the BBC, I thought it was bed and breakfast something,” said Tim. “I advised her not to take culinary arts - but she was interviewed by the BBC - not me!”

“It shows you parents don’t always know best,” he added.

Her father compared Katie’s career in culinary arts to his experience learning the violin.

“Katie had a passion and a vision about culinary arts,” he said. “She got her cooking ability from both of her grandmothers and she found her place and passion at NAIT’s Culinary Arts program in Edmonton.”

“Katie had to learn the language of food,” he added. “She apprenticed under Chef Tim Davies at the Willow on Wascana in Regina and she worked hard to be the best.”

“She practiced and practiced. Her instructors at NAIT made sure all of her strings were in tune and they gave her their gift of passion.”

“Eventually, through much perseverence and hard work, Katie was able to make sweet music in the kitchen of The Happy Nun.” “She was always focused on making sure that the food she prepared was good for the soul.”

“Now is the time to look toward the future,” continued Tim. “Now is the time for us to help others learn to fulfill their dreams and their passions.”

“The Katie Vinge-Riddell “Nailed It” Memorial Scholarship will help others play their own sweet music, so to speak and to fulfill their dreams.”

“Katie’s passion will live on through this scholarship.”

Connie Vinge said that the scholarship also addresses Katie’s considerable philanthropic contributions, which included animal rescue and numerous benefits for both organizations and individuals.

“We want to continue the charitable work that Katie was so passionate about,” said Connie.

Chef Tim Davies (foreground), his wife, Sheeli Davies (middle) and Katie’s friend, Roxann Waelchli - along with many others - volunteered their talents and time to make the scholarship fundraiser a success. Davies - head chef at Regina’s Willows on Wascana restaurant said of his former apprentice: “I was privileged to be invited to do this; we worked closely together.”

Katie Vinge-Riddell’s husband, Riley Riddell (pictured, right) with friend and Forget resident, Leon Gilbertson (left) manned the bar during the Katie-Vinge Riddell “Nailed It” Memorial Scholarship” evening. Riddell says: “Our family and the Vinge family have had so much support during this difficult time. It’s good to be back at The Happy Nun with all of our friends and family.”

Katie’s Kitchen is open again, as the legacy of renowned Saskatchewan chef and owner of Forget’s Happy Nun Cafe - Katie Vinge-Riddell - will live on with the Katie Vinge-Riddell “Nailed It” Memorial Scholarship.

Tim said of his daughter: “Katie left all of us a little better than when she got us.”

“The scholarship at NAIT will ensure that we can help the profession of culinary arts and leave it a bit better for future students in this program.”

“We want to create new opportunities to support young chefs and their passion and vision,” said Tim. “This is what Katie would want and this is what Katie will get.”

Tim ended his address with a poem by Dorothy

Holmes: “What a delicious lunch I munched on your words Nourishing my tired heart Enjoyed the sweet parfait of your smile.

Drank deeply the essence of your laughter.”

“Bon Appetit, Katie. Bon Appetit, all.”

Spurring on tradition: Arcola Rodeo returns after 13 years Kelly Running Observer Staff

Arcola, are you not entertained?! It’s been 13 years since the Arcola Rodeo has been hosted, but a local committee decided to bring back the excitement and tradition of the rodeo in a big way. It was a highly celebrated and exciting day in Arcola, as they welcomed back a western tradition.

Those from the community and surrounding area were out in full force on Friday, Aug. 11, with standing room only – as the viewing stands were packed early.

“Thank you to everybody who showed up,” Mike Wyatt, President of the Rodeo Committee, stated as he welcomed the amassed crowd to the rodeo. “We have a great committee [Rod Cutler, Lisa Eaton, Marie Foy, Chad George, Chris Nidish, and Beth and Wade Westfall] and I can’t say enough good things about them.

Thank you too, to the volunteers who put in countless hours to get everything ready. This giant tent set up behind me wasn’t here until last night, so thank you. The town has been absolutely amazing.”

“I would like to say a huge thank you to the committee, the volunteers, and of course, the amazing sponsors. And to Prime Time Rodeo and Bobby Stevens for bringing the stock.”

Wyatt also took the time to mention Chris Fuller, who was a member of the committee

that passed away, and dedicated the night’s Wild Horse Races to Fuller.

Earlier in the day, a Manitoba Rodeo Cowboy Association (MRCA) Barrel Racing event was hosted, while the evening entertainment got underway at 6:30 p.m. with a Canadian Cowboy Association (CCA) and MRCA sanctioned rough stock events – rough stock being the points events of bareback, saddle bronc, and bull riding. Throughout these events a variety of other exciting non-sanctioned events took place including a round of barrel racing – which saw all competitors from southeast Saskatchewan take to the arena – wild pony racing, wild horse racing, junior steers, and mutton busting.

Whoops and hollers were heard throughout the evening as the crowd cheered on the competitors.

Local rodeo rough stock was provided by Jim Lawrence’s Prime Time Rodeo out of Kennedy, SK along with Bobby Stevens subcontracted out to provide the bucking bulls.

Writing on their Facebook page, Prime Time Rodeo stated: “It was a beautiful night to be back in Arcola, SK, Friday night doing what we love and putting on a great show! Huge thank you to the committee for bringing the rodeo back to town, to the sponsors for their support, and to the amazing loudand-proud crowd that

We can’t wait to do it all again next year!”

Following the rodeo action was a cowboy cabaret hosted at the fairgrounds with Tim Romansin and Cattle Drive performing.

Crowds stayed late, enjoying a night of entertainment and excitement as they celebrated the return of the Arcola Rodeo.

Organizers were delighted with the turnout and are excited to have been able to bring back the local rodeo, which they hope to continue doing. They were very appreciative of the support they received in getting the rodeo going and to all that volunteered to help as well as

everyone who showed up to be entertained.

“It was amazing,” said Wyatt. “We definitely had a lot bigger turnout than we had planned.

We had about 650 to 700 people through the gate and we thought that being the first year back on a Friday night that 350 would be good.

And we doubled it. It’s outstanding.”

“I can’t say enough about the community support.”

It was a big comeback and a big success for the community.

“We’re definitely not going anywhere and are here for the long run,” added Wyatt. “We have new ideas on ways to improve it and are definitely in for another ex-

citing year of planning.”

“We’ll be donating a portion to the Kisbey Fire Department this year, and funds will also go back into the arena upgrades we have planned, as well as to next year’s rodeo.”

“We’ve received some good constructive criticism like where to put the gate next year,” says Wyatt. “And it’s really been good, because if you don’t ask the spectators what you can do to improve then they might not be back, so we’ve been constantly asking what we can do to improve it in the future.”

“I can’t say enough about the volunteers.

The sponsors have been amazing and the spec-

tators were great. To be honest, the support is overwhelming.”

“It’s amazing. And it was an unbelievable first year back.”

Stoughton Demo Derby a “smashing” success Kelly Running Observer Staff

Engines roared as the Stoughton Demolition Derby got underway on Saturday, Aug. 12, as cars were revved up and let loose to crash into each other at the Demo Derby pit at the Stoughton fair grounds.

This year marked the eighth annual Demo Derby hosted by the local club. This year, although numbers were slightly down, there were nine cars participating, while five trucks took part in the truck derby.

“It all went really well,” Demo Club President Corey Bacon explained. “We couldn’t do this without the help of everyone involved. Our sponsors are amazing, the Fire Department, the Ambulance, everyone who volunteers throughout the day, and just the general support of everyone who comes out to watch.”

Action saw six cars make it to the final heat after making it through the preliminaries, but one car blew its drive shaft as it was entering the arena, which dropped the final heat to five cars. Despite losing a car before beginning the event was an exciting one as engines revved, smoke billowed, and big hits took place. One of the cars saw a few flames and those running the derby acted quickly by stopping action and putting the small flames out with a fire extinguisher. The

fire truck was on hand in case the flames grew, but all was well and no one was injured.

In the end the last two cars still running were Bryce Butler and Kevin Dodd. Butler’s car was damaged to the point he could only drive in reverse, so began moving around the arena adeptly backwards; but, Kevin Dodd rammed him for one final blow which took out Butler’s steering as well, which meant that Dodd – the defending champion of the Stoughton Demo Derby – held onto his title and earned first place.

Throughout the day a truck derby was also hosted – it provided fun entertainment for the crowd, while allowing those in the car derby had an opportunity to fix their cars as best as they could before entering for the final heat.

“They only get as long as the truck heat lasts to work on their cars,” Bacon said.

The truck heat saw more great action, which included a last minute entry – a demolition truck was raffled off before the race and Mike Maas was given the opportunity to run in the heat. Maas, a member of the Demo Club, was one of the members who helped to build the truck and was excited about his name being drawn – he was even more excited that his raffle ticket then earned him $1,000 as he took home the first place trophy and prize money.

Bryce Butler took second place at the Stoughton Demo Derby.

Kevin Dodd defended his title and received first place at the Stoughton Demo Derby – being the last car still running – on Aug. 12 which came with a cash reward and trophy.

Mike Maas was the lucky winner of not only the truck demo derby on Saturday, Aug. 12, but it was an unexpected win as he won the truck in a raffle held that day. “I’m a member of the Demo Derby and we actually built this truck to raffle off,” Maas explained. Supporting the demo derby, he then bought tickets on the truck and not only won the opportunity to participate, but claimed first place which came with $1,000.

Healing in the Innermost: Joanne Johnston’s story of love, loss and faith Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

First-time author Joanne Johnston’s recently-published book - ‘Healing in the Innermost: Letting God Do What Only God Can’ is a story of love, loss and faith.

At a book signing at Carlyle’s Second Chance Thrift Store, Johnston, a longtime resident of Kisbey, says: “The book is about my life, but I didn’t want to focus on me, but rather to write in a way that I could use

what I went through to help other people get through their own loss and tough life issues.”

“After all, we all have our own hard and sometimes unfair or devastating issues to get through,” she says.

“However, no matter what we face, I’ve discovered that the people who can move through them into a better future are the ones with a positive attitude about themselves as well as the hope and faith that things can change.”

Johnson says the cat-

alyst for the book was a “brutal” five-year period in her life in which she suffered a series of lifealtering losses.

“A friend and I started a business in Arcola - Coteau Place - which was a seniors’ residence.

Because we were starting out, we didn’t have a lot of extra money for staffing, so I worked there a lot. Two weeks before we opened the doors, my sister was diagnosed with terminal cancer and I was a caregiver for her. She was only 36-years-old when she was diagnosed with a brain tumour and left four little kids.”

“A month after she died, our son was in a motorcycle accident and sustained head injuries,” she adds. “He’s okay now, but at the time, we didn’t know how things would turn out for him.”

“After that, my dad had a stroke and lost the ability to speak and my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer.”

Johnston was also diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis, which she has overcome.

Then, Johnston and her family experienced what she calls “the greatest blow of all” the death of her 18-yearold daughter, Danielle - as the result of a motor vehicle accident.

“I had a really lovehate relationship with God after my daughter died,” says Johnston.

“This book is about my journey and how I got to have the faith I have now, but you need to build a cornerstone of faith because when trials come - and they will that’s what I believe will get you through.”

“I compare it to a tornado,” explains Johnston. “You can read about them and study them, but until you’ve experienced one, you can’t really know the force and the power.

And that’s what God getting me through those losses is to me.”

“My book is for anyone who has suffered a loss,” says Johnston.

“And a loss can even be a divorce or a job loss.”

“I wanted to show people through my own successes that no matter who you are, what you’ve done, how old you are or where you’re at, God can always restore your life.”

“My prayer is that by reading my story that I will show the reader that when you get God involved, the healing and restoration process is possible in any situation for anyone,” says Johnston. “You’re never alone on your journey.”

“I don’t want to make it sound like it’s always going to be easy,” she adds. “Like anything that’s worthwhile, it takes work and we will have setbacks. But we’re never alone. I encourage people if they keep going and don’t give up on

“Two of my favourite sayings that you can take to the bank are: ‘God is never looking for perfection, just participation.’ and ‘You just have to take the first step and God will always be there to help you finish.’”

Interactive fun at the Rusty Relics Museum

Water quality focus of local workshop Kelly Running Observer Staff

Staff photos by Kelly Running

Tuesdays at the Rusty Relics Museum are great fun as they focus on a different theme each week. On Aug. 8, the theme was Farm Day and it was a big success as people of all ages were welcomed to enjoy a wagon ride, play with a variety of animals, and even see a mini-horse and her colt.

Water quality is always a priority in the agriculture industry. In order to support and educate people in the area the Tecumseh Community Pasture Corp., Upper Souris Watershed Association, and Ducks Unlimited Canada came together to host a Water Quality Workshop on Tuesday, Aug. 8.

In total 34 individuals participated in the afternoon workshop, which saw five speakers address various topics regarding water quality.

Speakers included: Colby Elford (Ministry of Agriculture) who spoke on “Blue Green

Algae & Concerns for Livestock,” Natasha Wilkie (Ministry of Agriculture) who spoke on “High sulfates and water quality and implications for livestock,” Heather Peat Hamm (Simply Ag) on “Species at Risk Farm Program,” Kylie McCrae (Ducks Unlimited Canada) on “Conservation Programs,” and Bruce Duncan (Upper Souris Watershed Association) on various watershed programs.

During the field day tours of the Tecumseh Community Pasture – located north of Forget.

Tour stops included a wetland with blue green algae blooming and a shallow buried waterline supplying water

troughs.

The Tecumseh Community Pasture Corp. was incorporated in 2015 successfully transitioning from a Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act (PFRA) Community Pasture system. Patrons of the PFRA Community Pasture which was there are now the shareholders of the corporation and focus their efforts on not only managing the pasture, but the stewardship of the livestock there as well as the wetlands and prairie ecosystems in the area.

Thus, it was an important day for the Tecumseh Community Pasture in ensuring the health of the livestock and land they care for.

Quote of the Week...

“The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.”

- Henry David Thoreau

To Mr. Wall , thank you for your service

Kelly Running Observer Staff

Although I may not be a staunch conservative and didn’t always agree with what the Sask Party was doing… I don’t agree with everything the federal Liberal party is doing either… I personally walk a strange line of agreeing with certain things on one side and other things with the opposite, I even find myself agreeing with the NDP and Green Party on occasion. I do ride the centre line pretty well though when it comes

to political beliefs.

My views mostly deviate from conservatives when it comes to healthcare and education – to me they should be the most important things out there for our population in general – but I do understand how important business is… having said that we can’t have support for healthcare and education without making our province an appealing place to be for capitalists. I have learned they have done more for education than I was aware of and are the reason I am still a Saskatchewan resident – and didn’t do the classic Alberta move – with their implementation of the Graduate Retention Program.

I think any time you decide to run for a political office it is something that you have to think long and hard about. It’s not something anyone takes lightly. They’re passionate about their town, R.M., province, or country and have made the decision to serve the populations of those communities.

When I look at Justin Trudeau, do I see the perfect leader and party in power? Not a chance, but I do see someone who has a vision for the country and is passionate about people. Do I agree with the vision – some things, not all – but I respect that they have a vision.

When I look at Brad Wall, I see the same thing. Someone who has dedicated his life to people, who has had

to make ridiculously difficult decisions for over a million people that won’t make everyone happy, but those decisions were based on a clear vision for what he and his party wanted to see for Saskatchewan, which is commendable.

In order for the Sask Party to win 51 out of 61 seats in 2016, yes it has to do with local Members of the Legislative Assembly relating to their constituents, but a lot of it had to do with Brad Wall at the helm. It’s an impressive feat and one which had him ranked as the highest rated Premier across Canada.

He made the decision to retire from politics and announced it today (Aug.10) after first entering the ring in 1999 as the Swift Current MLA; I can tell you that everyone from the southwest loved him then, and in 2004 he was named leader of the Sask Party, which saw him become premier in 2007 – Saskatchewan made a big decision to move from the NDP government to a Conservative government.

Having studied history in university, I have come away with a belief that applies to democracies, and that is the government in power needs to be shaken up every 10 years. Wall retiring is that shake up, which will allow new ideas within the government to blossom and for them to potentially look at a new vision along their party lines. This is something Wall confirmed in his press conference the morning of his announcement,

saying that he thought this was best for the party and will allow new ideas to blossom under new leadership.

I want to thank Brad Wall (and his family) for dedicating much of his life to serving Saskatchewan people (supporting him in his efforts) and doing what he felt was in the best interest of the people of this province. I may not always agree with aspects of this vision, but I do appreciate his efforts in fighting for his party’s vision – which the majority of people in the province do agree with. Democracy at its finest. He has demonstrated very strong leadership over the years and I appreciate his efforts as Premier, which is a job I definitely do not envy.

So, thank you Mr. Wall for serving this province, through easier times and more difficult times, with heart. We appreciate your efforts.

Statement by Premier Brad Wall Statement by Premier Brad Wall After serving as Premier of Saskatchewan for nearly 10 years, Premier Brad Wall today announced that he will be retiring from that position and elected politics when his party elects a new Leader.

Wall released a video about his retirement. The following is a transcript of his video statement: Good morning.

This November will mark 10 years since I had the incredible honour of being elected as Premier of this wonderful province that I love. I’ve always thought that the 10 year mark – should I be so fortunate to serve that long - might be the right time to reevaluate.

Together with Tami, I have decided that now is the time for renewal – for my party, for the government, for the province. It’s time for me to retire from politics.

And so I’ve asked the Saskatchewan Party to begin the process of electing a new leader, who will become the next Premier. I’ll continue to serve as Premier until the new leader is chosen.

And until then, there’s still a lot of work to do. And we carry out that work in a Saskatchewan much stronger after a decade of growth.

It’s easy to forget how things were in the province just 10 years ago. Remember the questions we used to ask?

Could our population get over and stay over a million people? Could we put an end to the near certainty that young people would look first to some place outside of Saskatchewan for their future? And why, in a province as blessed with resources and amazing and innovative people as ours, would we have the worst job creation record in all of Canada, as we did just 10 years ago?

Well, we came to office, some said naively, with a vision and a plan for growth, seeking to put an end to these questions, together with you, the people of

Heart of the Moose Mountains

Saskatchewan.

We set a goal of seeing Saskatchewan grow by 100,000 people in 10 years. Some called that impossible.

Saskatchewan has now grown by 160,000 people during our decade of growth. We are only 40,000 short of 1.2 million people.

Today, there are more than 67,000 more jobs in the province than there were 10 years ago. And instead of the worst job creation record, Saskatchewan has had Canada’s second-best job creation record during our decade of growth.

And we don’t ask those questions anymore.

Growth is the new normal in this province. That is remarkable. The credit goes to you Saskatchewan.

And I think our plan for growth and its specific actions have also helped. Things like new, more aggressive immigration policies, the graduate retention program, our efforts to engage with the world, to tell Saskatchewan’s story, to promote all that we have to offer to a growing world.

Legislative and regulatory improvements to the business climate have helped. Lower income taxes, lower small and large business taxes, lower education property taxes, have all helped create the Saskatchewan advantage, and a decade of growth.

And together, we have invested the dividends of growth to improve the lives of Saskatchewan people.

We have built and repaired a record number of highway kilometres. We have built 40 new and replacement schools and hired 850 more teachers to instruct a growing number of students. We’ve been building long-term care facilities and a new Children’s Hospital, and a new psychiatric hospital.

We have taken the longest surgical wait times in Canada 10 years ago and transformed them into among the shortest in Canada with the help of 750 more

doctors, 3,000 more nurses of every designation that have we have hired, and with the help of innovations like private surgical clinics.

And we have remembered those most vulnerable during our decade of growth – doubling supports for people with disabilities, tripling the income assistance program for low-income seniors and removing 114,000 low-income people from the tax rolls completely through our income tax reductions.

We’ve also made mistakes.

I have made mistakes. And yes, there is still much to do.

But those fundamental questions about the future viability of the province we all love? After this decade of growth, we don’t ask them anymore.

Saskatchewan is growing and vibrant and strong. And I will be forever grateful that I had the opportunity to play some small part in all of that.

As for today, our plan to get the budget back to balance and to reduce our dependence on resource revenue is on track. Here again we have a foundation upon which to build. Provincial credit ratings are higher than they were when we were elected 10 years ago, there’s less operating debt and we have the second-lowest debt-toGDP ratio among all the provinces.

This decade of growth truly is a strong foundation upon which to build.

I believe, though, that to best ensure continued success in that work, Saskatchewan needs renewal, a fresh perspective in leadership.

This was such a difficult decision to make. It is hard to lay this duty down, to retire from what has been and what will always be the honour of my working life.

But it is time.

So I leave you with something you will hear me oft repeat in the months ahead and for rest of my life.

Thank you Saskatchewan.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 2017

The cup that’s filled with flavour I am a proud Canadian. I think this is an amazing country. I cheer loudly for athletes from Canada during the Olympics. I take special note of books written

by Canadian authors. My favourite news magazine is a Canadian publication. I have voted in every election I have been eligible for.

I have travelled from the AtlanMy Outlook tic to the Pacific and been in awe Shelley Luedtke of the majestic beauty of our nation. But there is one area of my life that I fail miserably as a Canadian. I don’t drink Tim Horton’s coffee. I’ve tried, oh, how I have tried.

Some of my friends are obsessed with the brand and so, in deference to them, I have revisited the beverage on numerous occasions to try and understand the passion for it. Maybe I needed to try a different flavour. Maybe a dash of sugar? Maybe the answer is a chocolate covered donut to go alongside. But nothing seemed to make a difference.

I see the drive-thru line-ups that stretch around a city block. I can practically feel the frenzy when the Roll up the Rim promotion comes around. I know there are people who plan a road trip around Tim Horton’s locations. I admire the dedication these

people possess to get their hands on their favourite cup of coffee, but it’s not my thing. (Just so I don’t risk having to turn in my Canadian citizenship card-let me go on record by saying I happen to love the soup at Tim’s, I just don’t order a coffee when I’m there).

The coffee choices available to us in our favourite bistros or grocery aisles are seemingly endless: mocchaccino, cappuccino, frappuccino, latte, espresso, premium espresso, macchiato, half-caf, instant, decaf, dark roast, fine grind, medium grind and then, of course, the plethora of appliances needed to brew the chosen beverage. It is a dizzying array of options that often leaves me staring in bewilderment at the menu board or causing my eyes to glaze over in the store. I like coffee--I really do. My husband surprised me with a gourmet coffee machine and I must say I am a big fan of butterscotch flavored caffeine. But, my very favourite cup of coffee is...Saturday morning coffee.

Saturday morning coffee is poured into a travel mug as you quickly head out the door to go to the hockey rink/soccer pitch/baseball diamond to watch your child play the sport they love. Saturday morning coffee is sitting at the kitchen table lingering over the newspaper.

Lice Lice are tiny parasitic insects that can take up residence in a number of different places on our body. They are not a serious medical problem, but they can be annoying and can easily spread and infect others. Lice have been around for centuries… anthropologists report signs of these annoying intruders among Egyptian mummies and during the period of the ancient Greeks.

Life for a louse begins as a nit (egg). Nits are commonly found glued to the base of the hair shaft, frequently behind the ears or on the nape of the neck. It takes about five-10 days for nits to hatch and for the light-coloured nymphs to begin feeding immediately. It takes about seven or more days for the nymphs to mature.

Head lice – are found in the hair on the head. They are often spread among school children by close contact, clothing, or hairbrushes. Head lice can infest clothing and other items that come in contact with the head. Unfed adult lice may survive up to three days away from the host. In general, the eggs hatch within a week and adult head lice have a lifespan of one to two days away from the host.

Head lice do not carry disease.

Body lice – are found on various parts of the body and are passed on through shared clothing or bedding.

Unlike head lice, body lice attach their eggs to clothes fibres, particularly along inside seams and other areas

of close body contact. A female louse usually deposits nine to 10 eggs per day, and a total of 270 to 300 eggs over her lifetime. The eggs are incubated by the person’s body heat and hatch in about one week. Development time (egg to adult) takes about three to five weeks. Body lice may carry serious diseases such as epidemic typhus and trench fever.

Pubic lice - referred to as crabs, live on the skin and hair of the pubic area and are spread by sexual contact, shared clothing, and bedding. Pubic lice can also attach themselves to eyelashes.

Symptoms: evidence of lice on the scalp, body, clothing, or pubic or other body hair; intense itching; nits on hair shafts; small, red lesions at each new feeding site.

A person may not experience any initial symptoms of head lice – the itching may not start until a week or two after the initial infestation.

Some people never feel itchy at all.

When looking for head lice, check behind the ears, close to the scalp at the back of the neck, and on top of the head. Using a fine tooth louse comb is far more efficient in visual examination. Be on the lookout for their tiny white glistening eggs or little gray hatched ones, which will be firmly attached to the hair shaft, usually close to the scalp.

Lice excrement looks like brown dust.

Treatment: There is

medication available for lice including lotions, cream rinses, and shampoos. Ask a pharmacist for complete directions on how to use specific products and for recommendations on treatments based on the age of the affected person and the type of infestation. (This step gets rid of the existing adult lice.) Remove nits with tweezers or a fine comb. Recheck once a week for a few weeks to ensure that there are no signs of lingering lice.

Anti-lice strategies: Teach children not to share hats, headphones, combs, brushes, or bicycle helmets, and to report any head itching; Keep long hair tied back and away from the face; Check children’s hair regularly especially if they are scratching a lot; Wash all personal items that have come in contact with the head of an infested person at the time of the lice outbreak such as hats, towels, and pillowcases, in very hot water and dry in a hot dryer for at least 15 minutes; Because lice can’t survive away from humans, non-washable things such as pillows can be dry-cleaned or sealed in airtight plastic bags for 10-14 days to kill lice; Don’t use a pesticide spray to ‘disinfect’ your house; Soak all brushes and combs in hot water for five to 10 minutes or wash them with a pediculicidal shampoo; Thoroughly vacuum items such as rugs, furniture, mattresses, pillows, car seat, and anywhere else someone might have rested their head.

yard and marvelling at the new blossoms that have poked through in the flower bed. Saturday morning coffee is the anticipation of friends dropping by to admire the new deck/fence/patio.

Saturday morning coffee is making meal plans and shopping lists. It is starting that book you’ve been waiting to read. Saturday morning coffee is watching the weather to see how it will affect the day’s plans, or it is heading to the office or shop for a busy day of work.

Saturday morning coffee is the excitement of attending the family wedding/gathering that afternoon. It is laundry, housecleaning, car washing, recycling, lawn mowing and bookwork.

Saturday morning coffee is conversation and laughter, friends, phone calls and fun. Saturday morning coffee is chores, children and chatter.

Saturday morning coffee is taking a breath from the week that was, and planning for the week that will be.

I love my 7:00 AM butterscotch coffee in my favourite mug, and I do enjoy an occasional cappuccino. But for this Canadian coffee non-connoisseur nothing is better than the taste of Saturday morning coffee because Saturday morning coffee is the flavour of…life.

That’s my outlook.

Raise the Roof golf tournament a success Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Carlyle Fire Department welcomed 49 golfers out to partake in their Raise the Roof Golf Tournament hosted on Saturday, Aug. 12.

The day included 18-holes of golf, followed by a steak dinner, and a variety of raffle table draws. Excitement included two hole-in-one prizes – although they weren’t claimed – included the opportunity to swing into $15,000 or a new golf cart.

“It’s a great turn out,” Fire Chief Don Van Meer exclaimed.

“Awesome weather and there’s been

so many great donations to help out too.”

“We’re pushing towards new equipment. The R.M.

and Town are deciding on the building aspect, whether we’re building new or expanding the

old one, so we [the Fire Department] are looking at general upgrades with these funds today.”

2018 Olympics: Ovechkin vs. NHL showdown looms

sports time-out with

Bruce Penton With National Hockey League training camps set to open in a couple of weeks, it’s a good reminder about the biggest battle shaping up this season: Alex Ovechkin vs. the NHL hierarchy.

Ovechkin wants to play in the 2018 Olympics in South Korea. He is adamant in saying he will play in the Olympics. His owner, Washington Capitals’ Ted Leonsis, says it’s OK by him. So what’s the problem?

Gary Bettman and Bill

Daly, that’s the problem.

The two-headed monster that runs the NHL (Bettman is commissioner; Daly the deputy commissioner) says under no circumstances will any NHL player be allowed to leave his team in mid-season to play in the Olympics Feb. 9-25.

And that’s that.

Well, we’ll see.

Ovechkin told Russia Sports-Express in early August he still plans to play, with full realization that it goes against the wishes of the league.

Leonsis says the Caps would survive without Ovechkin’s services for nine games, but the NHL stance, of course, is that it owes it to its fans to provide the best players at all time.

Connor McDavid, the new face of the NHL, has said he’s disappointed that the NHL won’t allow its players to take part in the Olympics, but he hasn’t yet acquired the

status of an Ovechkin — nor does he have the will — to stage a showdown against the NHL bosses.

The NHL could possibly suspend Ovechkin for his iron will, further exerting its power to show who’s the boss. Would Ovechkin willingly lose nine games of his salary in a special deal with his owner, plus risk a 10- or 20-game suspension by the league? Considering he’s scheduled to earn $10 million this year, that could be a $3 or $4 million hit. All for the love of his country.

The NHL might win this battle of wills — it’s too bad, because in the court of public opinion, the NHL allowing its players to suit up in the Olympics would be a big winner — but it will be a public relations loser.

And it might just lead to Ovechkin, one of the game’s true superstars, extending his middle finger to the NHL as he

plays out his career in the KHL. There’s still time for the NHL to change its mind. Here’s hoping it does.

Police responded to the report of an impaired driver in the Carlyle area.

RCMP dealt with several motorists who were driving with undue care and attention.

A large vehicle was found to be transported without a proper permit.

Members dealt with four insurance violations.

The fine for this offence is $580.

Four motorists were found to be not carrying their vehicle registration with them.

A caller filed a com-

Crop report - August 1 to 7, 2017 Producers in the province have two per cent of the crop combined and three per cent swathed or ready to straight-cut, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report.

The �ive-year (2012-2016) average for this time of year is two per cent combined and two per cent swathed or ready to straight-cut.

Seventy-�ive per cent of fall rye, 31 per cent of winter wheat, 11 per cent of �ield peas and 10 per cent of lentils are now in the bin. Five per cent of mustard and one per cent of canola has been swathed.

Harvest is most advanced in the southwest, where six per cent of the crop is now combined. Producers in the southeast have four per cent combined, while many producers in the central and northern regions expect to be in the �ield in the coming weeks.

The majority of the

province received rainfall last week that has replenished topsoil moisture and helped later-seeded crops �ill. Rainfall ranged from trace amounts to 80 mm in the Turtleford area. There were reports of heavy downpours in some areas of the north that have �looded �ields, roads and yards. While the rain has been welcomed in some areas, it is too late to be of bene�it in more southern areas where crops are rapidly drying down.

Topsoil moisture conditions have slightly improved with the recent rainfall. Across the province, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as two per cent surplus, 36 per cent adequate, 38 per cent short and 24 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as two per cent surplus, 29 per cent adequate, 34 per cent short and 35 per cent very short.

Hay yields are below av-

erage overall. Estimated average dryland hay yields for the province are one ton per acre for alfalfa and alfalfa/bromegrass; 0.83 tons per acre for other tame hay and 1.5 tons per acre for greenfeed. Estimated average irrigated hay yields are 2.3 tons per acre for alfalfa; 2.0 tons per acre for alfalfa/bromegrass and 3.1 tons per acre for greenfeed.

Crop damage this past week is mainly attributed to hail, localized �looding, strong winds and lack of moisture. Producers continue to spray for bertha armyworms and diamondback moths in canola �ields.

Producers are getting ready for harvest and hauling bales.

plaint with the RCMP regarding three tractors driving back-to-back on Hwy #9 during the August long weekend. Police informed the caller that farmers were not in violation of the law.

Members dealt with various inspection-related offences, including faded licence plates. Staff Sgt. Darren Simons says: “We’ve dealt with several motorists who have licence plates that need replacing. If it’s faded or otherwise hard to read, get a new one. A good time to do this is when you renew your vehicle registration. Having a licence plate allows us to assist you better if, for instance, your vehicle is stolen.”

Uttering threats RCMP are currently investigating an incidence of uttering threats in the Redvers area.

Kennedy/Langbank News Submitted by Connie Schwalm

I remember my Grandfather once saying that there were two methods a farmer could use to bring on a little rain: 1. Start cutting hay.

2. Take your combine out to the first field.

It might be that these past couple of weeks have proven Grandpa right. But frankly, given how much we needed rain in this area; it’s likely that even those who have started harvesting weren’t as irritated as they might otherwise

have been to face a few ‘rain delays’.

The Friendship Center was the scene of a Smyth Family Reunion on August 5th. Several members of the community were pleased to join with the family during the celebration, taking advantage of the opportunity to visit with old friends that they may not have seen for some time.

Mrs. Florence Cummings traveled up to Meadow Lake last week to visit with son Ron

Cummings, his wife Teresa and their two sons.

Jamie Munro (granddaughter of Graham and Denise Munro) is a member of the Saskatchewan Canoe/Kayak Team that took part in the Canada Games held in Winnipeg. The Saskatchewan Team placed 4th in the K4 – 500 event. Joining with Graham and Denise to congratulate Jamie are her parents Maurice and Terry Munro (White City) and grandparents Gerald and Carol Bocking (Re-

gina).

The Kennedy Library hosted a performance by magician Ritchie Roy on August 8th. Twenty-six people (14 of them children) came out to enjoy a little magic. As well, the Grand Opening for the new Programming Room at the Library will take place on August 29th starting at 11:30 am. A BBQ Lunch will be served. The event will also serve as the Wind-up Party for the Summer Reading Club.

Congratulations to all

The Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal recognizes those whose personal volunteerism helps others, and makes daily life in Saskatchewan better for everyone.

Submitted by Edel Cowan

On July 13 Paul and Marina Poulsen went to Calgary to visit their daughter Nicole and her husband Zoltan Rigo and grandson Zoli.

While there they attended the stampede, watched the chuck wagon races and grandstand show. On July 17 they bought Nicole and son, Zoli back to Alida where we camped, fished and boated. Nicole and Zoli also visited with GreatGrandpa Ross McKinna.

Then on August 3 Zoltan came down for the weekend and the Rigo family left on the 7th to go back to Calgary.

On July 23 Keith, Tracy Brio and boys from Yorkton where down for a week to visit her parents Paul and Marina Poulsen while camping at Alameda Dam. While here they also visited with Ross, Scott, Leona and Ian McKinna.

Ernest and Dianne Lemieux had his sister Gisele and her husband Al Schreiner of Calgary visit with them from August 1-3.

Dan D’Auretmont received word that his daughter Amanda and her husband Sal Rustum of Toronto had a baby girl on July 25. Baby’s name is Lily Anne Heather – Congratulations Grandpa Dan and best wishes to the new family.

Visiting and spending a few days in August with Gary and Brenda Junk were son, Jody and

grandsons Jaxon and Jace, also granddaughter Morgan Applegate all of Sylvan Lake, AB. Jody returned home and the grandchildren all stayed for a while longer. Morgan flew home and the boys waited for their mother Jill to come for a week to visit with family and to attend a scheduled Desautels family reunion on the weekend of August 11 and then they would return home.

Attending the Western Canadian Softball Championship games in North Battleford on August 4-7 were Trevor, Sheri Patton and family Cordelia and Keagan.

Cordie plays with the 14U team together team other team members from Alameda Carlyle and White Bear which is based out of Carlyle.

They played three games a day, but unfortunately only placed 4th in the tournament – a job well accomplished girls for your “first kick at the can” – Congratulations and good luck next time.

Sincere sympathy is extended to Debbie Fuller on the death of her Uncle Bob Grandy formally of Glen Ewen, who passed away Aug. 4 at Estevan. Marion Fuller (Redvers) accompanied her daughter Debbie to Glen Ewen on Aug. 12 where they attended the Grandy funeral service. Condolences are extended to all other Grandy and

Longphee family members as well.

Jaye, Teresa Lemieux and girls Charity, Mari and Shasta attended a wedding of Jaye’s niece Shayla Boeckx (daughter of Liane and Remi) in Okotoks, AB on Aug. 5. Best wishes to the bride and groom on a happily married life.

It was a busy place at the Auburnton corner the long weekend (August 5-7) where both the Fraser family and the Armstrong family each held their family reunions. I’m sure a good time was had by all who were able to attend.

Jeff Cowan, enroute home from holidays spent around Lake Winnipeg, stopped in at the Cowan farm on August 10 and spent a few days visiting with his parents Gray and Edel, with friends Grant and Jenny. He also visited at the dam with his brother Tim, Shelly and Ainsley before heading back to Regina on Aug. 12.

Family and friends gathered at Carnduff Sunset Haven on Friday, August 11 where they all helped Dot Girard celebrate her birthday. The Alida Community sends their Happy Birthday wishes too Dot. During the weekend of August 11-14 the Desautels held a family reunion at the Desautels’ farm with many family members from near and far in attendance. Another great time held at

the family reunion by all those in attendance.

These last few days saw harvest slowly get underway in this corner of Saskatchewan.

Combines were busy in the peas, and fall rye crops. Desiccation of some wheat fields were also done, so give about another week the combines will be in full force in those fields. Also some canola fields have been swathed and others will likely be done soon as well. Weather permitting the harvest season will be or continue to be in full swing.

Just remember folks, to please very careful out there in the fields on that big machinery.

Wow – what a football game on Sunday, August 13 – Saskatchewan surely had their revenge when they trumped BC 41-8. We sure needed that win – maybe now the Riders have found the secret to success and can continue on with this momentum. We can hope – Go – Riders – Go. Once again folks please remember to contact me with your news and happenings, either call me (306-443-2496) or text (306-485-8561) or e=mail (g.cowan@ sasktel.net) – I do appreciate your contacts – they do help me present an interesting column – keep it up. Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and Take care.

RCMP news release

RCMP members of the Southeast Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan (CTSS) are located in Estevan, Weyburn, Carlyle, Broadview, and Fort Qu’Appelle.

The CTSS pilot project dedicates 60 officers to traffic safety enforcement in Saskatchewan.

These officers target problematic road ways and intersections in the central and southeast regions of the province.

All police vehicles in the Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan pilot are now equipped with automated licence plate readers (ALPRs).

“Unregistered vehicles, identifying potential disqualified drivers associated to a vehicle, missing persons, stolen vehicles - these are just some of the ways automated license plate readers are assisting members with their duties every day,” said Sgt. Al Hofland of RCMP Traffic Services. “The potential exists to use the ALPRs for other investigative purposes

which haven’t been realized yet. This is a valuable tool members use each day to help keep our roads safe.”

To date, the Southeast CTSS members have charged over 700 people

Clements recently.

A large crowd gathered at the John Raynard residence at Kenosee Lake last Friday, Aug.11.

They were there to honour John who had passed away on Aug. 5 in his 99th year. He and his wife, Marie are remembered as the original owners of the Red Barn and the many activities they sponsored there.

Obituaries

Emma Julia Yanyu May 1, 1929 - July 26, 2017 Emma was born on May 1, 1929 in Bekevar district to Joseph and Esther Szackacs.

She was raised on the farm with her brother Peter. On Oct. 3, 1949 she married the love of her life, our dad, Frank Yanyu. They farmed together and worked at Kenosee Gardens. She was a loving mother, grandma, Great-Gramma always ready to help if she could.

Mom was an amazing cook never letting you visit without eating something. She loved her flowers, her house and yard were full. She said you had to talk to your plants so they did better, always had a window full of slips going. Mom was active in the Kennedy Legion for many years, making many friends.

Emma was predeceased by our dad, Frank in 2004; son Richard in infancy; her parents, Joseph and Esther Szackacs; brother, Peter; her in-laws, Andrew and Anne Yanyu; brothers-in-law: Paul, Joe, Alex, John; sisters-in-law: Mary and Annie.

She leaves to cherish her memory, her children: William (Nola), grandchildren Jaret (Kristen), Janelle (Tom), Jason (Melissa) and Jolene; Edward (Lillian), grandchildren Curtis (Amber), Crystal (Dave), Carla, Chris (Melissa) and their mother Jackie; Julianna (Mike) Coffey, grandchildren Andrew and Hanah. She also leaves nineteen great grandchildren.

Afterglow I’d like the memory of me to he a happy one.

I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.

I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways.

Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.

I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun.

Of happy memories that I leave When life is done.

Thank You Emma’s family wishes to thank everyone for their support, cards, flowers, gifts, food and hugs.

Thanks to Moose Mountain Lodge staff for making Mom’s time there filled with lots of love and laughter.

Thank you to Tubman Funeral Home, Richard Barta and all that came to share Mom’s celebration of life.

Mom was an amazing lady. We will miss her smile, her jokes, her laughter and kind heart.

Helping kids never tasted so good Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Carlyle Dairy Queen participated in the annual Miracle Treat Day – 100 percent of proceeds from every blizzard sold on Aug. 10 went to Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital.

Approximately 4.900 children visit a Children’s Miracle Network – which includes 170 member hospitals – each

day throughout North America. In 2016 Miracle Treat Day raised $4 million dollars across the United States and Canada, while a grand total of $9 million was raised by Dairy Queen franchises.

This was through Miracle Treat Day, the donation canisters and other fundraisers throughout the year to support the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals across North America.

Thank You!

The Shoot for STARS Tournament Committee would like to send a huge THANK YOU to their Diamond Sponsor for their generous The sponsorship of the 2017 Shoot for the Ladies Golf Tournament that was held July 21st, 2017 We couldn’t do it without you!

Together we raised $8,800 for STARS!

Alica Myrglod, Sachi (Donna’s granddaughter – who was volunteering for the day), and owner Donna Myrglod smile for a quick photo on Miracle Treat Day after making one of the many Blizzard Treats sold on Aug. 10 at the store in support of the Children’s Miracle Network – 100 percent of proceeds from every Blizzard sold by participating franchises in Saskatchewan went to Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon.

OBSERVER THE

EARLY DEADLINE

for Sept. 8th, 2017 issue:

THURSDAY, AUGUST 31st AT NOON This is due to

Labor Day Holiday (Sept. 4)

has been partnered with the Children’s Miracle Hospitals for the past 33 years and together the franchises have raised over $125 million.

“This is our 15th Annual Miracle Treat Day and across both Canada and the United States proceeds from Blizzard Treats go towards the Children’s Miracle Network,” owner of Carlyle Dairy Queen, Donna Mryglod, explained. “The funds raised by Dairy Queen franchises in Saskatchewan will go to the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon – Saskatchewan was the last province to build a children’s hospital and it was named after Jim Pattison who made a very generous donation to it.”

“It’s an extremely busy day for us here, and the excellent staff here does

a great job. We have pre-orders from local businesses that have to be prepared throughout the day plus our regular customers that come through the doors, so they’re all going above and beyond today.”

Mryglod added that the donations raised for the Children’s Hospitals go towards research, training, new equipment, compensated care and more to help support and save children.

“We appreciate everyone coming out and supporting this good cause,” Mryglod exclaimed. “We have people who don’t want to buy a Blizzard, but will donate any loose change they have, or people will buy a large Blizzard and only ask us to make a mini one.”

“The economy always affects what we can raise,

but there are amazing people out there that still support causes – whether it’s this one or some other great cause. Saskatchewan has always been a giving province and that’s one reason why I love being a citizen of Saskatchewan. If they can find a way to do it, they will.”

Mryglod added that last year participating Saskatchewan Dairy Queen franchises raised $2.7 million and that the goal this year is $3 million.

“I expect our little store here to bring in about $5,000 between our coin contributions and Blizzard sales, if it’s more that’s wonderful and if it’s less that’s alright too – whatever is raised will help; but, I do expect it to be about $5,000 [when compared with last year].”
