Waking up your language:

Nakota speakers spreading their knowledge

Staff photo by Kelly Running

Armand McArthur of Pheasant Rump (left) and Peter Bigstone of Ocean Man (right) – two local native speakers of the Nakota language – taught a three day course in Kisbey last week on Thursday, Sept. 22, Friday, Sept. 23, and Sunday, Sept. 25. The men are focused on sharing their knowledge of the Nakota language with others as a way to repair the lost connection to their ancestors and cultural knowledge. They hope to develop a curriculum and teach classes this winter as a way to help new generations learn what has been lost by many.

G.F. Kells welcomes intern Kelly Running Observer Staff

Gordon F. Kells High School welcomes a new intern this year. Matthew Dalton is participating in his first internship and is excited that it’s at a school he once attended.

“About 10 years ago, I went through grades 6, 7, and 8 here,” Dalton explained.

Having begun his university education in Sas-

katoon at the University of Saskatchewan, Dalton has moved to the University of Regina where he is currently completing a Social Studies Degree with an inclusive Education Minor.

“I like seeing growth in people and helping people take advantage of opportunities,” Dalton said. “I also had really great teachers growing up, including the ones here in Carlyle.”

“I’m looking forward to interacting with all of the students and being back in Carlyle.”

The world isn’t black and white.

So, why is your ad?

In celebration of local business in Carlyle there will be an awards night hosted this fall, either at the end of October or beginning of November.

Nicole Currie, a member of the Chamber of Commerce, explained, “We hope to make this an annual event. We have a lot of great businesses in our community and they help grow our community, so we want people to be recognized for their efforts.”

Various awards will be issued by the Chamber and certificates will be given to businesses for years spent serving the community.

The five main awards to be given out according to the Chamber information sheet include: 1. New Venture Award: to be presented to a business that has been in operation for three years or less that has had success and shown positive performance in profitability, job creation, market expansion, and community involvement.

2. Community Involvement Award: to be presented to a business person that is very active in supporting arts and culture, sports, education, healthcare, and voluntary groups, while maintaining a strong business image, which sets an example for commitment to public service in the community. The nominee essentially goes “above and beyond.”

3. Growth and Expansion Award: to the business that has made significant changes in their business which has created employment and investment opportunities in the area. They adapt to the economy and either keep pace or are a “step ahead” of their market.

4. Lifetime Achievement Award: to the business which has both lasted and enriched

the community. They exemplify the concept of corporate social responsibility and/ or mentoring at the grassroots level, having worked to make an impact in the greater business community.

5. Business of the Year: an honour that showcases a business as having demonstrated exceptional performance in its marketing strategy, while working to impact the greater business community and show great pride and support for the local community.

The business will have adapted and improved their products/service to keep pace with its clients and the times.

In order to be eligible to nominate someone for the awards a business must fill out the survey, which was distributed to Carlyle and area businesses. For more information contact members of the Chamber at pearlboutique@sasktel.net or ps439@ sasktel.net.

Minimum wage increase effective October 1

Saskatchewan’s minimum wage will increase to $10.72 an hour. The change will take effect on October 1, 2016.

“Increases to the minimum wage, when combined with other supports and tax exemptions, help ease the financial burden for low-income earners,” Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Minister Don Morgan said. “By annually reviewing the minimum wage, we have created a predictable system for employees and business owners.”

Saskatchewan’s legislation provides for an annual review based on changes to the consumer price index and the average hourly wage.

Any changes to the minimum wage are announced by June 30 each year. Any changes take effect October 1.

There are approximately 23,200 minimum wage earners in Saskatchewan’s workforce. The majority (56 per cent) are under the age of 25 and largely work in the accommodations, food services or retail industries.

Moose Mountain Pumpkin Patch:

Family Fun for Fall Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Shane and Ashley Valentine have opened a new venue for family fun this fall- and have already welcomed over 500 visitors on their opening weekend, September 17 and 18. The Moose Mountain Pumpkin Patch is located two miles northeast of Carlyle’s Prairie Dog Drive-In and in addition to picking out the perfect pumpkin, kids of all ages can explore the corn maze, play in a giant sandbox, tackle the zipline, pose for a family photo, enjoy a homemade lunch or treat, and more.

“We first thought of it a few years ago,” says Shane. “We thought it would be a great idea to do a pumpkin patch at our place.

We opened on Saturday, Sept. 17 and we had 300 visitors on our first day. We had people from broadview, Esterhazy, Regina and lots of people from our local area.”

“We appreciate their support and we’re happy they like what we’ve done so far.”

An aerial view of the Moose Mountain Pumpkin Patch’s Shane was largely four-acre corn maze, which features a “K” and an ‘A” in the design, in honour self-taught when it came to of owners Shane and Ashley Valentine’s two children, Knox and Andie. planting pumpkins. “Last year, I started 1,000 pumpThe pumpkin patch welcomed over 500 visitors on its opening weekend, kins.

hailed out. They grew to be small, so we gave them all the the playschool.”

“I broke the pasture this year, cultivated, disced it, bought a corn planter for the corn for the corn maze and planted all of the pumpkins by hand,” he says. “So I planted 4,800 pumpkin seeds per acre.

It took about 16 hours.”

“We have 10 different kinds of pumpkins this year,” adds Shane. “They take anywhere from 90 to 120 days to grow. We’re finding out which ones we’ll plant again and which ones we won’t bother with. I talked to buddies who are farmers and through the winter, I read a whole bunch about pumpkins.”

“I taught myself and I’m still learning. I’ve never even planted a garden before this,” he laughs.

As part of the pumpkin planting process, Shane learned how to pollinate the plants by hand, which he did “every morning, from mid-July on.”

The 10 varieties of pumpkins in the Moose Mountain Pumpkin Patch range from the delicious to the decorative. “We’ve got pumpkins that are made for making pies,” says Shane. “And there are some that are bred just for something like decorating for Halloween. We’ve got one called a knucklehead pumpkin, that has kind of a ghoulish look. It’s actually got little wart-like growths on the outside of it to get that look.”

Shane says the pumpkins must be rotated every day in order to retain their shape. “Otherwise, they can get big flat spots or get mouldy.”

‘It’s been a real learning curve,” he says. “In the future, I might get some equipment for planting the pumpkins next year, but so far, I’m pretty happy.”

Shane’s foray into farming didn’t stop there, however.

Another feature at the Moose Mountain Pumpkin Patch is the four-acre corn maze, suitable for all ages.

The stalks-now 10-feet tall- were planted in a zig-zag pattern, so ensure that the maze appeared to be impenetrable. However, Shane says: “As the dad of young kids, I’ve made sure there’s an easy way out, too. We want it to be fun and challenging for older kids and adults, but we don’t want any little kids getting lost either.”

Shane designed the maze himself-with only a pencil and a piece of paper-and the design features a “K” and an “A” in honour of he and Ashley’s children, Knox, 5 and Andie, 2.

“I bought a corn planter and planted 240,000 seeds over the four acres. I planted them north, south, east and west, because I wanted the maze to be really thick. There’s a little clearing with some bales and an old truck in it, which Ashley has set up for family pictures. You can take your own, or she’ll take them. It’s a really great idea, not just for a souvenir, but for a family Christmas card, for example. They can also get pictures in front of a pile of pumpkins or a bunch of other farm-themed scenes she’ll set up.”

“There’s also a little bale maze for kids to play in, a big sand box, a train wagon, a zipline, a canteen and more,” adds Shane. “We’re also planning a giant slingshot for shooting cobs of corn.”

“We’re open to hosting other events too,” he adds. “Adult and teen nights where the corn maze is open at night, birthday parties, school trips, field trips and all kinds of events.”

“For this year, our first year, we’d like to make it a place where people will come back to. We want to grow it- maybe add a petting zoo, for example.

For now, we’ll play it year by year and we’re happy to welcome everyone to the Moose Mountain Pumpkin Patch.”

Pause for Reflection

By Ken Rolheiser www.kenrolheiser.com

A man staying at an inn and asked the front desk to give hime a wake-up call. Next morning when the phone rang a voice hollered, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!” Talking about wake-up calls: “Alfred Nobel dropped the newspaper and put his head in his hands. It was 1888. Nobel… made his fortune inventing and producing dynamite. His brother Ludvig had died in France. But now Alfred’s grief was compounded by dismay. He’d just read an obituary in a French newspaper — not his brother’s obituary, but his!

“An editor had confused the brothers. The headline read, ‘The Merchant of Death Is Dead.’ Alfred Nobel’s obituary described a man who had gotten rich by helping people kill one another. Shaken by this appraisal of his life, Nobel resolved to use his wealth to change his legacy.

“When he died eight years later, he left more than $9 million to fund awards for people whose work benefited humanity. The awards became known as the Nobel Prizes.” (The Treasure Principle by Randy Alcorn) You and I may not want a similar wake up call.

I had one in 2009 when I was diagnosed with cancer. For a while I would look into a room where my family was celebrating a meal and think about what it would be like when I was an observer from another realm.

Believe me my focus on life sharpened. What a gift it was when surgery removed my cancer. Now I could continue life with a deeper appreciation and a stronger purpose.

One area of our lives that requires commitment and focus is our Sunday morning obligation. Keep Holy the Sabbath is a commandment God gave us, and it really is important to the continued nourishment of our spirit. An analogy comes to mind.

Food and drink are essential for survival. As a boy on the farm I helped with the chores on days when the temperature was forty degrees below zero.

No matter how cold, we followed the ritual of feeding and watering the livestock.

We would chip ice out of the frozen trough to make room for the water. We would pour boiling water into the pump to thaw it. Then we would pump water for the cattle and horses that were brought from the barn and hurried back to it after a brief drink.

They never argued saying, “It’s too cold to go out. I’d rather just rest today.” That sounds like familiar Sunday morning excuses. Yes, I’m talking about the need for spiritual food and drink. I won’t belabour the understanding of this message.

I am reminded of the story of one worshipper who thanked the minister after the homily and said, “Thanks for the message, Reverend. You must be smarter than Einstein.” Beaming with pride, the minister said, “Why, thank you, brother! Exactly what do you mean that I must be smarter than Einstein?”

“Well, Reverend, they say that Einstein was so smart that only ten people in the world could understand him. But Reverend, no one can understand you.”

Quote of the Week . . .

“Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can.”

- Arthur Ashe

How do you choose your path when “you can do anything”?

Being that I like learning about different cultures and the past, one of the tidbits of knowledge that stuck with me over the years was that in China during the Three Kingdoms period a tradition developed for children picking what career they would follow.

The prince of the Eastern Wu Kingdom had died and his father, Kelly Running Emperor Sun Quan, was worried Observer Staff as to which of his grandsons would succeed him. A citizen from Wu suggested the Emperor place items on a plate and ask his grandsons to pick something off of the plate. One of his grandsons picked up a bamboo slip (ancient Chinese paper) and an imperial belt (symbolizing royal power), thus he became chosen as the successor.

A measuring tape = architect, sword = law enforcement, green onion = intelligent (green onion and intelligent being homophones in Chinese writing), abacus = businessperson, yuanbao (ancient Chinese money) = a life of fortune, book = scholar, stamp = civil servant, etc…

I think it’s interesting because I know for myself, being told I could do anything, and listening to young people’s dreams: someone I know is either going to be a doctor or a make-up artist, while someone else is thinking veterinarian or hairdresser. These different jobs are very different indeed and how do you really choose what you want to be these days?

I originally figured I should be a math teacher when I went off to university… then discovered high school math was very different than university math and switched to history. I then did a work practicum in a classroom for a pre-Education class that had to be taken. I passed the class and could have applied into Education, but I realized although I like teaching kids I just felt like that profession wasn’t for me.

And coming here… well I had just returned from traveling abroad and was looking for a job. I had my history degree and was at a loss for what I could do with it, but luckily Cindy was willing to take a chance on me here and I’ve come to love what I do. Although I felt lost for many years thinking, “If I can be anything in the world what should I be?”

I sometimes still wonder if I’ve found what I will do for the rest of my life or if I would ever change things up again. And this seems to be a common problem amongst some of my friends as well. One is learning about computer programming, but says she questions herself that at 26-years-old she should be pursuing something new.

I learned about the tradition in China of children picking their career as a baby when I was in university and when I would go through my “what am I going to do with my life?” moments… well… I would think of that tradition and how easy it would make it. You’d pick something and that’s what you would be trained for, for the rest of your life. You’d have a sense of direction. Then I’d wonder if that was really any better. Like, yes you’d know what you’d be doing with your life, but would you be happy pursuing it?

Although I wonder if what I’m doing is what I should be doing sometimes, I’m happy. I’m happy with my journey thus far and wouldn’t change it. Could the same be said if the aforementioned tradition was the norm?

There are no limits as to what you can be in today’s society, which can cause stress for young people deciding what they want to do with their lives. However, this ancient Chinese tradition would also be stressful because what happens if you choose something as a baby which you are trained for throughout your life and you absolutely hate it?

So, I guess there’s no perfect solution. But, for some reason opportunities and being told you can do anything actually causes stress. You don’t want to limit what your kid can do, I get that, but when they spin their tires not knowing what they should do, be supportive of them. It’s a big life choice.

I’m lucky my parents are extremely understanding.

They told me I could do anything, but are always supportive of me if I decide to change path. For example I was worried to tell them I was close to failing my math classes

May I see a show of hands?

For a few days one February I was part of a mission team in Mexico. One evening while at a migrant work camp I was quite moved by a gesture I witnessed.

While I was busy playing with some of the children, I watched as a couple of other team members spent time with some of the female migrant workers, lovingly rubbing lotion into their work weary hands.

It was such a caring gesture, and Shelley Luedtke judging by the smiles on the receivers’ faces, one that was very much appreciated.

I thought about the shelf in my bathroom lined with lotions and creams; items scented with aromas like vanilla and tangerine; products that were more about pampering than anything else. On work-roughened hands the lotions were a balm, but something more too. That night, used this way, it was one set of hands demonstrating a kindness to another set of hands. It was an expression of care shared between people who didn’t share a language.

From the moment I wake up until I fall asleep at night my hands have been fully engaged in my day. I don’t think twice about the ease with which I brush my teeth, work at a computer, play the piano, prepare a meal or drive a car. Not to mention some of the more expressive moments like wiping away a friend’s tears, tending to a child’s injury, folding hands in prayer, or grasping the hand of a loved one.

As a 2-year old, a little boy by the name of Zion lost both his hands to a life-threatening infection. This past summer 9-year old Zion threw out the first pitch at a Baltimore Orioles game after becoming the first child to undergo a double hand transplant in 2015. The 11hour surgery was just the beginning of a series of setbacks and the process of rehabilitation as Zion learned to use his new hands. Within weeks of the surgery he was playing with action figures and using a whisk to help bake his favourite cookies. “I’m very excited,” he said in an interview as he prepared to throw out that ceremonial pitch, “because now I can do more than I imagined. So when I got my hands, it’s like, here’s the piece of my life that was missing. Now it’s here. Now Kelly Running Editor Reporter/Photographer

in university and that I needed to change my major. I shouldn’t have been worried because they simply understood and encouraged me to pursue my next step.

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

my life is complete.”

Approximately 100 hand transplants have been performed around the world, including Canada’s first in January 2016. Not all have had results like Zion has experienced. Some recipients have been so unhappy with what has transpired that they have asked that the hand be removed. Many variables factor into the success of a procedure this complicated, but beyond the surgery itself, the effectiveness of the anti-rejection drugs and the regeneration of nerves, an absolutely critical part of the procure is a fully committed team of doctors, nurses, therapists and caregivers who can help the recipient manage their expectations through the long and difficult recovery. In other words, they needed the helping hands of a large team of people to find success with their new hands.

We think of our hands as more than appendages, as evidenced by our speech. Offering assistance is to lend a hand. Demonstrating complete trust is to speak of someone holding our lives in their hands, and talking with young people about optimism for tomorrow is to tell them the future is in their hands. But contained within those metaphors is the reality that though assistance, trust and optimism can be reflected by what hands can offer, that’s simply a first step. It’s the follow-up and follow-through that results in the success.

A team of more than 40 people have been part of Zion’s journey. The skill, talent and technology exhibited in that operating room gave Zion his hands, but it was the time, support and hard work by everyone involved that gave him the ability to use them.

Whether our hands are strong, nimble, sore, stiff, busy, slower, artificial or transplanted, they are in essence the same. The work they do is different, but that individual ability is just the start. The next piece is the coming together of those hands to offer what is needed today and what can be dreamed of for the future. The medical professional’s hands find greater success when combined with the expertise of others. The community leader’s hands are far more effective when joined by the vision of others. It is that collective power that is… hands down…unstoppable. It provides what is needed for someone to be able to say, “Here’s the piece that was missing, now it’s here, it’s complete.” What a great way to show our hand. That’s my outlook.

The

Observer

Seeing things differently . . .

Those lazy, entitled Millenials: Much-maligned or martyrs?

Lynne Bell They are both the creators and the canaries Millennials Observer Staff

Kelly Running Observer Staff

It’s a label that has been tagged onto Millennials as being lazy. And it’s one that bugs me because yes, there are some lazy people out there in this generation… just like there are lazy people in the generation before me and so on and so forth.

Personally, the when it comes to the socially constructed classification of “generation,” I am on the bubble of either a Generation Y or a Millennial.

It just depends where that study has decided where the transition is.

There’s always been lazy people and there will always be lazy people, but it seems to be a common thing to do for older generations to look at the one coming up and saying, “Back in my day it would have been like this.” Yes, maybe back in your day it would have been, but just like technology has changed so to has the economy, society, and life expectations in general.

Ultimately times have changed and things look different than they once did. Unemployment is high amongst Millennials, they don’t typically own houses, and may even still live with their parents.

Things are more expensive and youth are having to go into debt more than their parents would have.

Yes, there is inflation, but the economic landscape has altered by more than just inflation.

University, college, or a trade school, which are expensive, are now essential in getting a job. It used to be that high school would qualify you for a lot, but once more emphasis was put on schooling it became that employers would favour those that had done some sort of post-secondary schooling over none at all. So, off to school you go and into debt most young people are forced.

Coming out of school you then look for a job… which it turns out are few and far between… oh, and you also have to have “x” amount of years of experience. How do you get experience when the entry-level job requires experience? You’ve got schooling now, but nothing else. So, then with a little luck and a lot of hard work you find one, but it might take awhile to find a career as opposed to a job, which means paying off debt and finding a reasonably priced place to live sends you to your parents’ basement.

Once you have the job, you’re still paying off debt, and in Saskatchewan it’s almost necessary to have a vehicle, which means you’ve put money into that previously or are further into debt. It seems difficult to get ahead and the break you get in living with your parents is the most logical route. They make you pay rent, but it’s not the excessive rent that you’d be facing anywhere else when added to the debt you’ve collected and have been trying to pay off.

Finally, you get something paid off and are able to go out and rent your own place… but, that’s a bad investment you’re told, you need to buy a house. Only houses cost at least $100,000 if not more, so that starter home that was once affordable to previous generations is now out of your grasp and you’re not sure if you want to be tied into a mortgage that will have you paying something off for another 25 years at least. Is this where you want to be for the rest of your life?

Just as you feel like you’re getting ahead maybe you want to have a family, but kids are expensive.

So, you wait. Finally you get a house and decide to have a family.

Nagging at the back of your mind during all of this though is how do you save for your retirement… what portion of your wage should go into retirement? And what do you do if you’ve been paying off debt, but just creating more, how do you ever get ahead?

So, are there lazy people out there? Absolutely, in every generation… and every older generation always likes to say “Kids these days are [fill in the blank].” But, classifying an entire generation like this is a little out there.

Summer is (sadly) behind us, but a survey launched by the non-profit U.S. Travel Association and the end of August released some surprising findings-that is, millenials “are the most likely generation to forfeit time off, even though they earn the least amount of vacation days.”

In fact, according to Toronto Star columnist Emma Teitel- a millenial, herself- “We work so hard, it turns out, we are overwhelmingly represented in a category labour researchers have dubbed ‘work martyrs’: people so obsessively devoted to their professions, they refrain from taking hard-earned, paid, time off.”

The generation born between 1980 and 1994/2000 (depending upon whom you ask) have been stereotypically-and I believe unfairlyportrayed as lazy, self-centred, spoiled and unable to function without constantly starting at a smartphone screen.

This summation is-dare I say it?- a pretty lazy assessment of an entire generation. I would also argue that they are: creative, flexible and have a keen sense of social responsibility, which is fortunate-because like every generation who has preceeded them, they face daunting challenges.

Through the Lens

in the proverbial coal mine of a technological revolution that rivals the impact of industrial revolution. They are coming of age in an era of severe economic recession. In the U.S., the cost of post-secondary education and/or training can be economically crippling, especially when employment prospects are uncertain and wages are stagnant. In the UK, the majority of millenials are locked out of the housing market, because prices are, well, insane. Here in Canada, many members of this generation are burdened by all of these factors, to some degree.

And I haven’t even touched on terrorism, environmental concerns, and the personal problems that touch every human being, to name a few.

Teitel examined the results of the U.S. Travel Association’s end-of-summer study and came up with a few conclusions of her own as to why millenials are leaving paid vacation days on the table. One reason is job insecurity-especially in the U.S. Another reason is that the very technology that makes some parts of life so instantaneous and easy also means that the boundaries between time on and time off work become pretty blurry.

So not only should millenials get a break from the misconceptions placed upon them; they should also give themselves a break- and at the very least, take the vacation days they’ve earned.

The Manor School hosted their annual Terry Fox run on Friday, Sept. 23. The entire student body took part in the event, which saw teachers and students walk laps around the town before returning to the school where they enjoyed a snack and hot chocolate. The school raised over $3,200 for the Terry Fox Foundation. Everyone was reminded to dress for the weather as it was supposed to rain and it did, and Principal Kelly Logan explained, “When Terry Fox did his run, he didn’t always have the nicest weather, but he persevered and kept running, so we will too.”

Baseball’s breakthrough stars shine

By Bruce Penton Every year, it seems, Major League Baseball sees a number of breakthrough stars, and 2016 didn’t disappoint. And despite all the Z-Z-Zs in these new stars’ names, their performances certainly didn’t put anyone to sleep.

Brian Dozier, you with the 42 home runs (all stats as of Sept.

25) for the Minnesota Twins, take a bow.

Aaron Sanchez of the Blue Jays, with a gaudy 13-2 record and a dazzling earned-run average, has earned his ‘ace’ status.

And New York’s new Babe Ruth, the astonishing Gary Sanchez

— whose late-season home-run barrage made him a Yankee hero almost overnight — is a major building block for the Yankees’ future.

All three are breakthrough stars on the cusp of greatness, unless they mimic Joe Charboneau of the Cleveland Indians or Mark (The Bird) Fidrych of the Tigers, two of the game’s most infamous one-year wonders. Charboneau hit 23 homers and won rookie-of-the-year honours in 1980, but his career faded quickly.

He played only 70 more MLB games. Fidrych was baseball’s most famous player in 1976, adored for the way he talked to the baseball and winning 19 games while losing only nine.

But he won only 10 more games in his career over four seasons following arm troubles.

While there are no guar-

antees Dozier or the two Sanchezes won’t suffer similar fates, their performances in 2016 were fun to watch.

Dozier, a fifth-year infielder, averaged 19 homers in his first four years before slugging 42 this season, more than any other second baseman in American League history. Dozier had only 14 homers at the all-star break in mid-July, but has since belted 28 more.

The Jays’ Sanchez, owner of a combined 9-8 record through his first two seasons, is now the Jays’ 24-year-old ace. His 2.93 ERA is among the best in the league and Toronto’s braintrust is treating him like a piece of antique glassware, limiting his innings so as to preserve his health.

The ‘other’ Sanchez, the Yanks’ Gary, has been the toast of Broadway since being called

Rider Insider Up week continues 1 - As Rider fan and poolmaster Larry Schwentke pointed out on Sunday, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are on their first two-game winning streak since September of 2014. The past two calendar years have been a remarkable run of futility for the Green & White but now after back-to-back victories, no one is looking back.

The Riders’ 53-7 loss in Hamilton on August 20 was their worst defeat in 16 years and it clearly was rock bottom for the franchise. What a comforting feeling it is to know that the worst is behind the Riders, and the club has been on a steady trajectory upwards ever since.

2 - With the team’s confidence growing and currently at a seasonhigh, it really wouldn’t surprise me if they don’t lose another game the rest of the way. Of course it sounds prepostorous given their 3-10 record but with a bye in the upcoming Week 15 (a chance to physically heal according to Coach Chris Jones), and their final games looking like this: at Ottawa, at Toronto, home to Montreal, home to B.C. and at B.C., it’s not unreasonable for them to “run the table”.

That would accomplish an 8-10 record but could still mean missing the playoffs for a second-straight season.

3 - Playoffs? You wanna talk about playoffs? The Riders aren’t. I posed that question to Chris Jones on Saturday’s postgame show, amid the jubilant locker room celebration after their 20-18 win over Hamilton. Is the coach even mentioning “playoffs” to his team? Or has he overheard it from his players?

“No. No,” Jones admitted on 620 CKRM. “Right now all we do is worry about this next game. It’s the

‘next game’, the ‘next game’ -- you can’t control anything anyone else does. All we can control is what we do and just go win games and have fun playing football man.”

It’s clear the Riders truly are having a ball right now, and it was evident in the photos from Saturday’s game. The Riders hadsmiles on their faces, which is a deflating feeling for the opposing team. Have a look at the shot of defensive end #0 Jonathan Newsome to the right.

I think I’ve got a pretty good handle on the pulse of the football club and was confident when I wrote over the past few weeks that if you, as a fan, “check out” on the remainder of this season, you’re going to miss out on something special.

On Saturday night, the Riders proved that to be true.

It would be a shame for them to miss the playoffs but, if they do, they know they’ll only have themselves to blame.

But now isn’t the time for those sentiments.

4 - From the moment the TigerCats touched down in Regina on Friday, they were telling everyone far and wide that they were a banged up football team. Sure, they were missing Chad Owens, C.J. Gable, Luke Tasker, Terrence Tolliver, Courtney Stephen and Rico Murray but the Riders’ injury list was at least as long and it included their fair share of All Stars too.

We never let the Riders use injuries as an excuse all season long - and to their credit they didn’t - so it wouldn’t be right to pin Hamilton’s loss Saturday night on their injuries.

See Rider Insider on page 16

up Aug. 3. He went homerless through six games, hit one in Game 7, another one in Game 12, two more in Game 14 and the legend was born. Though 44 games, the 23-year-old catcher had 19 home runs — a pace that would give him 70 homers over a full 162-game schedule.

Can they keep it up?

Tune in next year to see, and to watch a new crop of breakthrough stars.

nine Emmys: “Actor, supporting actor, writing ... even the Ford Bronco won best midsized sport-utility vehicle.”

• Bob Molinaro of pilotonlne.com (Hampton, va.): “As David Ortiz swept past Mickey Mantle on the career home run list, it got me thinking about what a physical wonder Mantle must have been to have hit so many homers while using PDDs – performance de-enhancing drugs (i.e., alcohol).”

• Brad Dickson again: “LeBron James attended the Los Angeles Rams-Seattle Seahawks game. Well, part of it.

LeBron showed up, fired the coaches and left.”

when fighting in gravy you have to take your lumps.”

Laughter at the bserved At Cornerstone Theatre Fall Variety Show Photos by Kelly Running

As an elderly couple remember back to when they first fell in love… their memory of that day was very different. Although the lady remembers falling head over heels in love at first sight, he seems to remember it a little differently.

The Cornerstone Theatre group hosted a variety night of hilarious sketches, funny song parodies, and a few ballads thrown in for good measure on Friday, Sept. 23. Here Don Carter, takes on the persona of Sam Wills – a comedian who doesn’t talk, and invites three participants up on stage.

The gentleman is blindsided when his blind date turns out to be a psychic… not a psychiatrist… and she offers him a reading… before taking off with his wallet.

It’s simple to order off the menu… isn’t it? Here a mispronounced word, however, insults the waitress and a glass of water splashes in the customer’s face.

David Slykhuis, a performing arts dynamo in the community, embraces his feminine side. Laughter ensued as the character he was portraying spoke of her two marriages.

A simple call and response song, what can go wrong? Well, when the backup singers keep singing the same line, the main performer can get a little irritated.

COUNTDOWN TO CANADA’S 150TH

39 CANADA: NATURAL SOURCE OF PRIDE SINCE 1867

Engineering a world without thrist THE WATERLOO PUMP In the late 1970s, the University of Waterloo, in southern Ontario, was still something of a newcomer on the Canadian education scene.

Founded in 1957, the institution set itself apart from its centuries-old counterparts that lived and breathed the status quo by implementing co-operative education—a concept that flew in the face of the lectures and classrooms of traditional academia—in its faculty of engineering. Co-op, as it became known, aimed to create a new generation of engineers with a unique skillset acquired by alternating between classic schooling and hands-on industry experience. A progressive, relaxed, entrepreneurial culture took hold of the establishment, attracting a particular type of student and staff: young, bright and willing to approach problems from unconventional angles.

Among the educators enticed by University of Waterloo’s forwardthinking model was Alan Plumtree, a 29-year-old junior professor who made the move from University of Toronto.

Plumtree, a mechanical engineering faculty member, and Alfred Rudin, member of the chemistry faculty, both had a reputation as problem-solvers that perfectly fit in with the fledgling university’s ethos. The pair caught the eye of Tim Journey, a water pump expert at Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC). Journey was searching for a solution to a problem that plagued developing nations: inadequate access to drinking water. At the time, the water pumps used in poor, isolated villages of the third world were manufactured in rich, technically advanced countries. They were complex pieces of machinery made of cast iron that suffered rapid wear. When they broke, replacement parts were expensive—if they could be located in the first place—and repairs required expertise rarely present in the affected communities. So in 1977, Tim Journey, on behalf of the IDRC, approached Plumtree and Rudin about designing an inexpensive, easy-to-repair pump that could be manufactured in developing countries using local materials. The two professors enthusiastically agreed to take on the project, an engineering challenge that researchers in five countries had already failed to deliver on.

In just six months, Alan Plumtree and Alfred Rudin successfully built an elegant piston-based hand pump that stood up to rigorous testing with ease. How? “By keeping it simple,” according to Plumtree, who says the design was inspired by the philosophy of resourcefulness and minimalism embraced by the local Mennonite community.

The Waterloo pump was an instant success, manufactured locally by the hundreds of thousands following its 1978 debut. While traditional pumps rarely last more than a year, the Canadian-born model can withstand eight years of heavy wear. Its designers never profited from their invention and continue to make contact with users and manufacturers in different countries to help adapt the pump to local conditions. Various versions of the Waterloo pump currently provide clean water to millions of people worldwide, empowering villages by giving them control over their water supply. Thirty-odd years after its birth in a southern Ontario lab, the Waterloo pump remains a shining example of Canada’s will and ability to lead positive change on the global stage.

Where are we from?

THE 52 LARGEST GROUPS IN CANADA’S MULTICULTURAL MOSAIC

CANADA’S ACADIAN COMMUNITY Acadian Canadians are the descendants of a French colony that settled the present-day Maritime provinces, a region then called Acadia, during the 17th and 18th centuries. The colony was a separate entity, both geographically and politically, from New France and the French Colony of Canada (modern-day Quebec), and thus developed its own distinct history and culture.

Acadians now mainly live in New Brunswick, despite the fact that their ancestors were spread out across all three Maritime provinces (as well as parts of Quebec and Maine). This is mainly due to the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht, which forced France to cede Acadia to Great Britain and eventually led to the Great Expulsion of 1755–1763. At the dawn of the French and Indian War in 1754, the British government ordered Acadians to take an oath of allegiance that included the pledge to fight against the French. Nearly all refused. In the face of such disobedience, British authorities elected to deport roughly 11,500 people from the Maritimes; one-third died of disease or drowning.

When displaced Acadians returned to Acadia after the war, their homes, farms and villages in Nova Scotia had been taken over by Loyalists. This prompted a mass exodus to the land that is now New Brunswick, where over 500,000 Acadians live today.

Because the French-speaking Acadians were separated from the Académie Francaise, regulator of the French language, their dialect evolved differently from conventional French. Today’s Acadian French, the native language of around 370,000 individuals, contains phrases that are considered obsolete elsewhere in the Francophonie. Chiac, a vernacular variant of Acadian French with heavy Englishlanguage influences, is mostly spoken in the Moncton (NB) region.

Acadian Canadians keep their unique cultural, linguistic and social heritage alive in many ways. In Canada, August 15 is National Acadian Day, an occasion to celebrate the vibrant Acadian community through festivities inspired by tradition.

From Page 13 - Rider Insider The Riders won it fair and square.

5 - That includes a huge play midway through the second quarter when a Mitchell Gale fumble at the Hamilton goalline was returned 109 yards to the Rider endzone by Ticats defensive end Adrian Tracy.

There was no need for Chris Jones to throw his challenge flag. Scoring plays and turnovers are automatically reviewed by the CFL Command Centre and that play qualified as both. Replays showed that Gale’s knee was down before the ball came out and the Riders maintained possession. One play later, Darian Durant replaced Gale to score on a 1-yard run.

Initially I heard an “AHA!” coming out of CFL headquarters

regarding video replay however automatic reviews of turnovers and scoring plays are universal in the NFL and College Football.

Really that’s all that’s needed. Pass Interference? Forget about it. Let the refs ref.

Hopefully the concept of the tedious “Coaches Challenges” is reconsidered by the CFL - and maybe even scrapped altogether - at their off-season meetings. Some of the sequences involving challenges and overturns in Saturday’s WinnipegCalgary game made the game unwatchable.

6 - For the longest time recently, I was of the opinion that the Calgary Stampeders were so good - so robotic in their excellence - that they’ve become boring to watch. Their 27-7 halftime lead over

the Blue Bombers on Saturday only strengthened my idea but they got too cocky and were outscored 20-6 in the fourth quarter by Winnipeg. Of course, ultimately, Calgary’s final three points sealed the comeback win and continued their longest winning streak since 1995.

If it’s true that teams take on the personality of their coach - and I’ve long maintained they do - then I’m sure Calgary’s Dave Dickenson is fine with the label of being “so good that they’re boring”.

Are the Saskatchewan Roughriders taking on the personality of Chris Jones? If so, what is it?

7 - The NFL’s Carolina Panthers employ the slogan “Keep Pounding” with great

marketing success (despite their 22-10 loss to Minnesota on Sunday). Former Panthers coach Sam Mills first used the phrase in 2004 and it’s stood the test of time. In fact, the Panthers have extended the slogan to their fans who are currently battling cancer, and their loved ones.

I’m big on slogans, and I respectfully submit the phrase “Choppin’ Wood” to embody the rebuild effort of the Saskatchewan Roughriders under Head Coach & GM Chris Jones. He’s used that phrase many times during this trying campaign and with his Riders apparently having turned the corner, maybe this is a slogan that could catch on!

8 - It will be interesting to see this week’s CFL Power Rankings. With three wins, the Riders have equalled the Montreal Alouettes and the two franchises are heading in opposite

directions. Now the #1 selection in the 2017 CFL Draft is up in the air.

And with their three wins, these plucky Roughriders have ensured they won’t go down as the worst team (record-wise) in franchise history. Anything from here on in is just gravy.

9 - Whispers: The 2017 Saskatchewan Roughriders Plaza of Honor induction class will consist of Jim Hopson and Wes Cates. Cates - the franchise’s second all-time leading rusher and 2007 Grey Cup champion - wasn’t available for induction in 2016 while Hopson’s lasting legacy is New Mosaic Stadium. It would be fitting for him to go in during the first season of the new facility.

10 - Condolences to the Calgary Stampeders and the family of 23year old Mylan Hicks, the practice roster player who was killed

Voter Identification Matters

The purpose of the voter ID requirements is to maintain the integrity of local election processes. Your name and address must appear in some form on your voter identification documents. Bringing proper identification will ensure your voice is heard and will help your local election run as smoothly as possible.

Photo ID - Your BEST option to take to the polls Acceptable photo identification is ID that is government- issued, valid and has your photo, name and address. If your identification does not meet these criteria it will not be recognized as an acceptable form of photo identification.

Examples include: • A valid Saskatchewan Driver’s Licence. (If you still have a two-piece licence, make sure you have both pieces).

• A valid Saskatchewan ID card issued by SGI or any motor licence issuer. (Available for $10 or free for seniors).

• Any other valid government issued photo ID issued by a Canadian government whether federal, provincial or municipal, or an agency of that government, so long as it includes your name and address.

If you do not currently have photo identification you can acquire nondrivers photo-ID from SGI. For a complete list of acceptable identification view Appendix D Table 1 page 70-72 of The Local Government Election Regulations, 2015.

A Canadian passport is not an acceptable form of photo identification because it does not contain your address. However, a Canadian passport can be used as identification if paired with another document that has your name and address on it.

Non-Photo ID Options If you don’t have photo identification and are unable to obtain photo-ID before Election Day, you can present two other pieces of information, as long as both contain your name and at least one contains your address.

Examples include: • Valid ID cards or certificates issued by the Canadian or Saskatchewan government, a Saskatchewan municipality or school division, a Saskatchewan Indian band, the Métis Nation of Saskatchewan or an agency of one of these entities.

• Personal correspondence, benefit/contribution statements and tax/ assessment notices issued by any of the above entities.

• Bank/credit union cards, credit cards and statements.

• Utility bills and statements issued within six months of the date of the election.

• Personalized attestation of residence, letter of stay or admission form issued by a seniors or student residence, long term care or shelter facility.

in Calgary on Saturday night. That truly is an unfathomable tragedy and it certainly puts things into perspective.

11 - Where has the time gone? New Mosaic Stadium will play host to its first game this Saturday when the University of Regina Rams host the University of Saskatchewan Huskies in a 2:00 pm kickoff (620 CKRM, Access, Shaw). I’m incredibly honoured to have been asked to host the television broadcast which will air throughout all of Western Canada. And with the magical 3-1 start for Steve Bryce’s Rams, it promises to be just a staggering day.

But stop asking me for tickets! My phone’s been buzzing out of control with friends trying to get last minute seats even though the game’s been sold out for weeks. Hopefully the City of Regina finds it in their hearts to open up some more sections before Saturday. They’ll surely sellout in a hurry.

12 - It’s inexcusable that Friday’s Regina Pats 2016 home-opener wasn’t a sellout. The Pats announced a crowd of 4830 for their 4-3 overtime loss to Prince Albert but it seemed like only 4000 were on hand. Although the Pats lost, the game was an incredible display of speed and finesse mixed in with some physical play.

Regina turned the tables with a 4-2 win at P.A. on Saturday night and are now off until Friday when they host the Edmonton Oil Kings.

It’s amusing that other WHL East Division teams have jokingly annointed the Pats the “2017 Memorial Cup Champs” due to all of the boasting by us in the local media.

I said this will be the best Pats season in over 30 years and maybe it’s because I’ve been in football so long. I forgot the humble, “under the radar” nature of hockey people. It’s a long-standing football “thing” to puff out your chest and make bold proclamations.

But let me remind you that the WHL Broadcasters Poll also had the Pats as the runaway winners of the Eastern Conference. Now go out and prove it!

13 - Five things that made me very happy in the past week: 1) Yoga, 2) The movie “Sully”, 3) My first visit to Fresh & Sweet, 4) Pumpkin Blizzards at Dairy Queen and of course, 5) My new Pats jersey!

Cities don’t get rural Sask. crime

By Murray Mandryk The saddest days in Saskatchewan is when we see people divided, especially when that division is caused by a lack of understanding.

Such days have been all too common in this province this year.

And what’s even sadder is when they relate to issues of safety, something that shouldn’t divide us.

Sadly, though, city people seeing the issue from the outside may not fully appreciate how unsafe some rural people feel.

One of the flashpoint has clearly been the racial-charged incident near Biggar in which Colten Boushie of the Pheasant Rump First Nation died from a gunshot wound in the farmyard of Gerald Stanley. Stanley has been charged with 2nd degree murder and has received bail that confines him to the vicinity of his farm until his trial date.

The issue has created a firestorm of controversy and protest … and more than a few highly inappropriate racist social media postings.

Let us be clear that the court will deal with the facts of the matter in Stanley’s trial process.

But what might be said is that it was just one of many incidents throughout rural Saskatchewan people that illustrate the fear out there.

An even more recent incident driving rural Saskatchewan’s fear over public safety was an incident near Fiske, in which police reported a

complaint of three masked men carrying handguns trying to hold up a farmhand. No one was hurt, but no arrests have been made … even after the RCMP commissioned an aerial search for a black SUV said to be involved in the incident.

Admittedly, this is an very isolated incident.

Less isolated, however, are the stories throughout rural Saskatchewan of vandalism, breakins, vehicle, farm machinery and gas thefts, and even occasional home-invasion robberies with violence.

The Fiske incident and other incidents have prompted some farmers to carry firearms in the cabs of their combines and elsewhere.

Again, perspective is needed here. Stories of how often this has been occurring are likely both exaggerated and overblown.

After all, it’s not uncommon for farmers to keep guns on hand to deal with predators. And most of us who built gun racks in high school shop as a kid know that they were designed to go in the house or the back of a pickup.

But it is a different era and the RCMP were right to issue a warning about proper use and storage of firearms. The last thing anyone needs is is an unintended tragedy.

And that very different era that we are now in touches on another issue pertinent to what’s been going on in rural Saskatchewan.

As farms have grown larger, farmers have grown farther apart.

That has created policing challenges in two ways. There is sometimes no easily accessible neighbour to watch properties and it’s tougher to get law enforcement to remote locations to deal with an incident. Also, wit less people in rural Saskatchewan, it is harder for those that remain to afford the policing costs.

Municipalities of fewer than 5,000 people with RCMP detachments pay $77.06 per capita while those communities without a detachment pay $47.68 per person for policing. Any additional positions at a detachment would cost an additional $130,000 per year, so simply paying for police is getting harder.

And maybe rural Saskatchewan isn’t as peaceful as it once.

A 2005 Statistics Canada study showed 43-per-cent more crime, break-ins, assaults, etc., in smaller urban communities than larger cities. Perhaps to the surprise of some, there is also a higher homicide rate in rural settings.

One other big problem may be related to the declining oil economy and the problems that have accompanied it.

Rural people are all too aware of the rare cases of drug addiction that sometimes follow rig workers. Well, the addictions to fentanyl and other drugs don’t stop when oil wages stop.

It is a different rural Saskatchewan.

Maybe it’s high time those in the cities passing judgment better understood what is going on.

Stoughton back to school BBQ served up fun Submitted The Stoughton School Community Council hosted their 5th annual Welcome back BBQ held on Sept. 22, with the assistance of many local sponsors.

There was a free BBQ offered to the communities bringing in teachers, parents, students and others from the Stoughton and Ocean Man areas.

This gave everyone a chance to gather and meet the school staff.

Also this year we had tables set up for any local organizations, recreations and service groups to show off what they can offer.

We also sold tickets for a very well sponsored raffle table. There had been tickets sold also for a donated play structure, the winner of that was Sydney Hemphill.

We did the draw for the fundraiser shared by the Heward Parks and Recreation and Stoughton SCC those winners were Jaxon Tanner for the Traeger BBQ and Elaine Murray won the meat pack.

SALUTE TO LOCAL BUSINESSES

Businesses: helping to create a unique community identity Kelly Running Observer Staff

Every community is unique and interesting. It is the community’s history, citizens, and businesses that all contribute to the collective community identity of the town or Rural Municipality.

Business is a large aspect of what attracts people to a community and communities thrive when they support and celebrate a variety of businesses working together for the success of their community.

In Carlyle, Nicole Currie – The Pearl Boutique – business owner and Chamber of Commerce member explains the importance of the contributions of each business in town: “It’s great to see all of the buildings along Main Street filled. It shows that people in the community have a drive, passion, and great ideas.

There’s an entrepreneurial spirit here and essentially anything you need, you can find it right here.”

Although Carlyle is a central hub of business in the southeast for many people needing groceries or other items, the same entrepreneurial spirit can be found in all other communities in the southeast as well. From restaurants to grocery stores, pharmacies to bakeries, clothing stores to furniture stores and more, each community celebrates their local people and businesses in their community.

Danielle Hoffman, with the Stoughton Chamber of Commerce and manager of Poplar Tree Inn, adds, “Local business is extremely important, and I just read an article recently which said that when you support local business you’re supporting a local child to play soccer or take piano lessons. So, it’s important to support local business because you’re supporting your community and the livelihood of your neighbours. Business can bring a community together and it attracts people to town, they stop in to see the community and what we have to offer. In Stoughton we’re lucky to have such a diverse landscape of businesses. We have everything from a tattoo parlour to a bakery to a pharmacy which carries clothing, homeware, and prescriptions. We’re very lucky to have a variety of businesses in this community.”

Each community in the area features unique and interesting places to visit and enjoy. Taking a stroll down any Main Street in the southeast tells the visitor that each community is different – it showcases a unique character and charm.

Businesses are what drive a community. They provide the jobs needed that retain people and draw people to the community. While providing jobs businesses are also supporting local sports teams, the local food bank, local families in need, and so much more.

Small town businesses are often focused on people and relationships are built, whether with others in the community or with visitors who come back each year as Currie explained: “We’re supported locally and by surrounding communities, we’re all connected. And with the tourism at the lake, it’s really nice to get to know people who camp or go to their cottages and come into the store for the summer, then come back next year.”

A community’s unique identity is tied to the business services offered. Each small town in Southeast Saskatchewan has its own unique character and charm. (Archive)

Kennedy/Langbank News Submitted by Doreen Cancade

Mother Nature has certainly given us a very nice Monday morning to start off a new week.

Hopefully the crops can all be harvested by the time she decides to change weather patterns again.

Friday, Sept. 23 was a big day for a number of bridge players coming to the Friendship Centre for a day of fun and friendship. Folk from Wawota, Estevan, Weyburn, Kenosee Lake, Grenfell, Broadview, Kipling, sorry if I missed a town. The morning began with lots of goodies to nourish the

PUBLIC NOTICE - RM OF MOOSE CREEK NO. 33 Public notice is hereby given that the Council of the RM of Moose Creek No. 33 intends to adopt a bylaw under The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend Bylaw No. 3-2015 known as the Zoning Bylaw.

INTENT The proposed Zoning Bylaw amendment will allow for more flexibility with Agricultural subdivision site size.

AFFECTED LAND The amendment will affect residents in the Agricultural District.

REASON The reason for the amendment is to allow Council to approve larger agricultural site sizes than specified in the Zoning Bylaw, because of existing building, and topographical features, or to include water supply or waste water disposal systems for the property.

body after an early rise, at 10 am the 12 tables of card players began their day. The winners were Jim Brown and Lucie Nickel of Weyburn, Dorothy Hewson and Jeanne Molnar, Kennedy; Irma Lesiuk and Helen Parish of Estevan. The 50/50 draws were Jim Brown of Weyburn and Margaret Sawyer of Estevan. A number of other goodie boxes of garden vegetables were taken home by a number of folk.

Thanks to all for participating in this day.

Joe Yuhasz of Regina spent the weekend with his mother Marion Yuhasz, he was able to take part in the bridge and enjoyed himself very much.

The Sunday night supper put on by the Kennedy United Church held at the Community hall was very well attended by a great crowd of folks from surrounding towns. Community is not something we can ‘make’ happen. Community emerges as we participate in life with those around us.

Congratulations to Brie Schmidt and David Blaise on the baptism of their little girl Hatley on Sunday morning at St. Annís Church, a family lun-

cheon was held at the Kennedy Friendship Centre.

Shelley Bow of Hudson Bay spent the weekend with her mother Jean Cancade, visited with her father Tony in Kipling and other family members.

The View from the desk of Marga Cugnet, CEO, Sun Country Health Region

Sun Country Health Region working to improve the system

Residents of Saskatchewan don’t just want a health care system; they want a system that is safe, efficient and effective, one that provides the right care at the right time from the right provider.

The Ministry of Health has been working closely with the Regions to improve the system’s efficiency and effectiveness and Sun Country Health Region has been responding as hard and fast as we can.

Some of the pieces of data used by the Ministry to measure provincial goals are wait times in emergency departments, for specialist visits, and for surgery.

Because the health system is such a complex process, improvement in these areas requires significant change and improvement in all the pathways leading to the emergency department, the specialist and the surgical room.

The emergency department lengthy waits, for instance, are a result of many factors. One of these affecting this wait is the number of beds already occupied in the hospital. The long wait time, particularly in a tertiary emergency department in Saskatchewan, is partly the result of the number of patients in hospital beds who have been assessed and could be convalescing or receiving care in another location or facility. Those patients remain in the hospital because the other level of care, such as home care, that they should be receiving is not ready or unavailable in their community. The result is a doctor trying to admit a new patient from the emergency room cannot admit the patient as quickly as should happen.

A good percentage of the people in those hospital beds qualify for long term care but the appropriate beds are not available so they can’t be moved. Some are waiting for home care to be arranged in their community. Some need specialized rehabilitation that is not yet available, or convalescent care in their region’s hospitals.

The longer patients stay in the hospital, the more expensive it is for the health system but more importantly, the more likely their condition may deteriorate. Long hospital stays can decrease general mobility and quality of life. Once a patient is medically stable and can be discharged, it is in a patient’s best interest to be transferred as soon as possible to their home, with home care, or to a facility that will provide the appropriate level of care.

Sun Country Health Region has been doing its part to reduce the number of patients in tertiary acute hospital beds who can be elsewhere. Weyburn General Hospital and St. Joseph’s Hospital of Estevan rarely have more than a few of their beds at any one time filled by patients who could be elsewhere. Sun Country Health Region, along with other regions, has a commitment to accept patients back to their home regions within 24 hours of being notified by the transferring facility.

Wait times are similarly low in this Region.

We monitor these measurements regularly to ensure these key elements of the system remains within reasonable limits in our facilities.

Things can change in the blink of an eye

By Calvin Daniels How quickly things change.

It was not that many years ago the Canadian Prairies were talked about as the ideal location to raise livestock.

There was cheap land, cheap feed grain, cheap labour, a trifecta of elements which suggested good returns were possible finishing cattle and hogs.

But, that changed rather quickly.

The cattle sector of course was hit by Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE).

That shut Canadian exports out on many export markets, and hit returns hard.

It was hoped though that the situation, which forced Canada to find domestic solutions to finishing cattle, processing the beef, and consuming the meat, would mean a stronger domestic beef sector once borders reopened.

The situation was thought to create raised consumer awareness to eat Canadian beef and to create infrastructure around finishing cattle and processing beef.

But once the borders reopened the American market, based on scale and the American dollar exchange, it drained off calves to finish.

Then the economics changed.

Grain prices jumped, along with other commodities as the world economy boomed thanks largely to China.

Finding staff became much harder based on the same economic upturn.

Profit margins tightened.

Small feedlots closed, such as one near Rhein, SK., which only a few years prior had been the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce’s Business of the Year.

The processors plan to deal with the post BSE glut stalled.

And while the world economy has certainly cooled, again largely on China’s growth stagnating, the ripples of a Canadian beef sector that has been largely transferred to the United States continues.

Western Feedlots Ltd. one of Canada’s largest cattle feeder operations with sites near Strathmore, High

River and Mossleigh, and a standing capacity for 100,000 head is shutting down. The company has announced it will idle its operations in early 2017 after it finishes marketing the cattle it currently owns.

Western Feedlots Ltd., which started in 1958, has been hit hard by recent volatility in the cattle markets. Alberta cattle prices surged to record heights in 2014 and 2015, but have since plummeted reflecting the general economy in many ways.

It’s an age old situation where the feedlot bought animals at high prices and now sells them at a major loss.

Company officials have suggested losses on some cattle of as much as $500-$600 which sums up the mothballing of feedlots, although in the volatile politics of Alberta, they also site New Democrat

policies as a problem – which is hardly unexpected.

The largely unexpected win in long-time Conservative Alberta has meant finger pointing on practically everything.

But whatever the reasons, the reality is the feedlots are likely to stay closed.

Canadian processors lose 100,000 head of animals.

Grain producers lose a local market.

Beef producers lose a competitor in terms of buying calves locally.

And jobs are lost.

Instead, more Canadian calves being fed American grain, cared for by American workers, and then shipped back up here as processed beef for Canadians to consume, and that just never makes sense in terms of our economy.

When words fail

By Linda Wegner As I sat enjoying a cup of tea at a local shop, I noticed the words on the back of a young man’s T-shirt. I waited until he and his family got up to leave before speaking to him.

“I love the message on your shirt,” I told him and he shook his head in agreement, adding that he was a musician and often had proven it to be true.

Here’s what it said: When words fail, music speaks.

I thought about those words often and as if to reinforce the message, I received a confirmation on the same topic. I was behind a vehicle at an intersection when I noticed a banner on the back fender of that car. “Caution!” it read and of course I took notice. I assumed it would read Child on Board or a warning of some other important issue. Not so, but here’s what it did say, “Caution! Driver is Singing”.

Between a chuckle and a memory of the slogan

on that young man’s shirt, I pondered the significance and importance of music. On a personal level and although I don’t claim to be a great musician, I thoroughly enjoy singing and playing my piano.

It’s been said that music can soothe the savage beast (or savage breast, depending on which version of the quote you prefer) but if there is anything that we need in our innermost beings, it’s a song.

Living in a world of escalating violence and devastation it is easy to be pulled down by circumstances around us; how important, then, to replenish our hearts and souls with the encouragement and joy that comes from knowing God is faithful, no matter what.

“Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.” Ephesians 5:19
