Locals and visitors alike came together in Carlyle as the community celebrated Canada 150 at its second annual Carlyle Fun Dayz, Saturday, Aug. 19.

“We’re thrilled that Carlyle Fun Dayz is back for a second year,” says organizer Jenn Sedor. “We celebrated Canada’s 150th birthday as a community and we welcomed a lot of visitors and showed them all that Carlyle has to offer.”

“We were disappointed when the midway cancelled their appearance,” says Sedor. “But with the quick thinking of our committee members and additional sponsorship from Carlyle Minor Hockey, we were able to pull together an event that was even more fantastic that planned!”

In spite of the midway cancellation mere days before the event, there were still plenty of activities and attractions for Fun Dayz revellers of all ages.

The event kicked off with a pre-parade pancake breakfast, courtesy of the Carlyle Lions Club. The Main Street parade was headed by young riders on bikes - a tradition which began last year, and the parade itself featured floats, horses, vintage vehicles and plenty of candy for the kids.

Throughout the day, visitors could enjoy High Tea at the Rusty Relics Museum, a Show & Shine and on Souris Avenue, a Farm-

Carlyle Self Storage: safe & secure Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Darren and Barb Swanson can help cure your clutter via their new business, Carlyle Self Storage, located on Hwy 9 South.

The couple recently purchased the facility and they offer both

long- and short-term secure storage, with inside units sized at 10’ x 10’, 8’ x 20’ and 8’ x 40’, as well as outdoor storage spots suitable for campers, boats, trailers and other large units.

“We bought an existing business,” says Darren. “It complemented our construction busi-

ness, because if someone’s building a new home or doing a renovation, 90 percent of the time, they’ll need temporary storage.”

“But it’s not only a situation like that,” he adds. “The way I look at things, I like my garage free so I can park in it and I want my yard clear, instead of having a boat or a trailer there.

At the same time, I want things secure.”

“We have one client who switches out their trailer and snowmobiles with their camper, depending on the season and that’s why both convenience and security for our clients is so important.”

The Swansons have recently made some changes to the facility with this in mind.

“It’s completely fenced in, with a locked gate and other measures

make it fully-secured,” says Darren.

“Right now, we have over 30 inside units of different sizes as well as lots of room for things like trailers, boats and other large units, and there’s lots of room to grow the business. We also offer containers that can be moved offsite so people can keep them on their property.

And we are able to move those for our clients,

too.”

“People have already expressed interest and we appreciate their support,” adds Darren.

“We’ve retained clients from when the previous owner had the business and we also have a number of new clients already.”

“We welcome anyone who is looking for safe and secure storage to give us a call at (306)575-8001.”

The Drinking Water Quality and Compliance Report, and other information on the Village of Alida’s Water & Sewage Works, as required under The Municipalities Regulations, is available for viewing at the Village Office.

The total combined water & sewage works revenue for 2016 was $81,627.00 while total expenditures were $49,800.00. Comparison of water & sewage works revenues to expenditures plus debt payments, expressed as a ratio, is 1.64. For 2016, water & sewage works revenues covered 100% of the total expenditures.

The full amount of annual utility surpluses will be placed in a specified reserve for future capital work on the utility to establish a fund for upgrading the water treatment system, and replacement/repair of aging infrastructure.

The Village of Alida has been approved for federal and provincial financial contributions under the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund Program for upgrading the water treatment system. The upgrade will include the installation of a chemically assisted filtration system that has been designed to provide additional disinfection of the water supply to provide protection against the Cryptosporidium/Giardia that possess a resistance to chlorination.

Construction of the water treatment system upgrade will commence late August, 2017, and will be completed within the calendar year.

In 2016, the Turbidity at the Water Treatment Plant was between .05 and .43.

Third time lucky: Arcola Street Dance & Slow Pitch tourney Aug. 26

575-8001

Arcola’s third annual Street Dance & Slow Pitch Tournament will take place on Saturday, Aug. 26, rain or shine, says organizer Cheryl Bell.

“It’s a great event and a great community fundraiser,” says Bell. “The past two years, the street dance has been moved to Prairie Place Hall because of rain - but rain or shine, the community and area communities have stepped up to support us and this year is no exception.”

Bell brought back the Arcola tradition a few years ago - as both a fundraiser and as a fond reminder of the street dances she enjoyed while growing up in the community.

“They were always a lot of fun,” she says. “And the ball tournament is a big part of that, too. I grew up playing ball in Arcola. My dad coached me and my kids play ball now, too.”

Proceeds from this year’s event will benefit the Arcola Ball Association, with plans to eventually purchase a mechanical scoreboard for the town’s baseball diamond.

“Every year, we’ve looked at where to contribute depending on the need,” says Bell. “But con-

tributing money to the Arcola Ball Association is something that people of all ages can enjoy - both players and spectators.”

“And the slow-pitch tournament generates people who come to Arcola for this event and go on to the dance. This year, we’ve got some people bringing in their campers and setting up here for the weekend. They’re either in the town campgrounds and in some cases, local people are offering up their backyards.”

Interest in entering this year’s slow-pitch tournament exceeded expectations and Bell says organizers limited the competition to eight teams.

“We’ve scaled it back to eight teams, even though we had more. This year, we’ve got ball teams from Arcola, Carlyle, Pheasant Rump First Nation and White Bear First Nations - as well as a team from Indian Head.”

Bell and fellow organizers Jennifer Demuith and Tammy Messenger have added to this year’s activities by including a kids’ zone.

“We’ve got a bouncy castle and a slip ‘n’ slide,” says Bell. “We’re expanding to include all ages.”

As well as the new kids’ zone and slow-pitch action, the day’s action will begin at 9 a.m. on Main

Street, with kids’ activities starting at 10 a.m.

There will be a 50/50 draw, a pie toss, a beer gardens featuring a DJ throughout the day, a dunk tank and the street dance, featuring live music from Regina band, The Milkman’s Sons.

“We’re excited about having The Milkman’s Sons for the dance,” says Bell. “We’ve heard good things about them and they also have a light show and a video screen, so it should be a lot of fun - whatever happens with the weather.”

“We’ve tried not to ask any of our businesses for money, but instead, we’ve asked them to lend us something for this fundraiser,” says Bell. “Businesses and individuals - and there’s too many to list - have been great when it comes to pitching in and we can’t thank them enough.”

“Whether we’re able to hold the dance on Main Street or whether it rains and it’s in Prairie Place, one thing we can always count on is great support - from Arcola and from surrounding communities.”

“We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone to a great day.”

Benefit Social to be held for local woman battling brain cancer Kelly Running

Observer Staff with references to Brandon Sun’s July 29 article, “Brain cancer battle ‘overwhelming’”

Wawota native Janelle Lamontagne – now of Brandon, MB – daughter of Karlene and Eugene Krupa – is a 29-yearold speech-language pathologist. Her normal life was challenged when it was discovered she has been living with an asymptomatic brain tumour which was approximately the size of a golf ball.

The discovery of the tumour was found when she was being treated for a rare bleeding disorder – acquired von Willebrand’s disease, which Lamontagne told the Brandon Sun in their article, “Brain cancer battle ‘overwhelming,’” which was published on July 31. While undergoing treatment for this disease, she reacted unfavourably and was later admitted to the emergency room suffering from a severe migraine.

With concerns that there

was possibly a brain bleed due to the bleeding disorder, a CT scan was ordered and a mass the size of a golf ball was found.

Further tests were ordered including an MRI – neurologists were determined to deduce if the mass was in fact a tumour or possibly a cyst.

Neurologists concluded that it was a tumour and she was referred to a neurosurgeon in Winnipeg to remove the tumour.

awake craniotomy – which lasted 9 hours – on June 29 to remove the tumour, it was tested and confirmed to be cancerous – it is in fact a grade three anaplastic astrocytoma. Although the majority of the tumour was removed during the surgery, it is impossible to remove it entirely as it has entwined with healthy tissue, although she told the Brandon Sun that “the procedure removed 99 percent of [it].”

The journey ahead will be intense as she was scheduled for 7-days-aweek of chemotherapy, radiation 5-days-a-week for six weeks. She will continue a full-year of chemotherapy 5-days-aweek for the next year in Brandon following this initial treatment.

Prior to her treatment Lamontagne told the Brandon Sun that, “It’s been very overwhelming. The hardest part, I think, is that I feel completely normal. I have no symptoms, so it’s hard to understand why I went through a craniotomy and I’m going to start chemo and radiation when I feel perfectly fine.”

Although a trying time Lamontagne continues to look forward, adding in her interview with the Brandon Sun, “I work with the adult population in acute care. I’ve actually worked with a lot of patients with brain

tumours… I hope this gives me a chance to better relate to my patients when I can finally return to my job.”

With all that life has thrown at her Lamontagne remains in good spirits; but, the costs surrounding the treatments has led to family and friends setting up a Benefit Social in her name to be held on Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. at the Victoria Inn Hotel and Convention Centre in Brandon, MB. Tickets to the social ($20) are available from Marley Drumm (Detayls Hair Salon – Wednesdays to Saturdays), Tanya Brisbois (5777787), or Susan Wilson

(577-7664). Hotel rooms for those attending the social have been reserved under a group rate for those attending the social at The Comfort Inn, Best Western Plus, or Lake View Hotels and Resorts (must call to book the hotel to book the room).

Donations of auction items for both the social and an online auction are being accepted by Marley Drumm – contact her through Facebook or email: marleydrumm@ hotmail.com.

Monetary donations are also being accepted for the Janelle Lamontagne trust at the Conexus Credit Union.

Break and enter On Sunday, Aug. 12, between 3 and 4 a.m., a vehicle was driven into the Redvers Co-op “C” store in an attempt to gain access to the business’s ATM. If anyone has any information regarding this offence, please contact the RCMP or Crimestoppers.

An ATV was stolen from a skid shack which was broken into at Moose Mountain Provincial Park. The ATV has since been located.

A break and enter at the Wawota Curling Rink was resolved by RCMP. A report of a possible break and enter in Carlyle was determined to be unfounded. “However, we still appreciate the call.” says Staff Sgt. Simons.

Drugs Carlyle RCMP are currently investigating drug use and possible distribution of drugs within the detachment area.

False pretenses RCMP conducted an investigation regarding false pretenses in the Kenosee Lake area.

Found property A wallet was returned to its owner.

A lost cell phone was turned in to Carlyle RCMP. Harassing communications An incidence of harassing communications was reported to Carlyle RCMP for information purposes.

Members received another report of harassing communications.

Mental Health Act RCMP members dealt with several files under the Mental Health Act. Mischief Members responded to a report of a party which spilled out on to the street in Wawota.

Theft A vehicle was stolen from Kenosee Lake and has not been found.

In Arcola, RCMP members responded to the report of an indi-

vidual who filled up with gas and drove off without paying. However, members arrived to find that the individual had already returned and paid for the gas and had simply forgotten to do so previously.

Members made patrols in search of a stolen truck which might have been travelling through the detachment area.

Traffic-related offences/Collisions A collision in Carlyle between two vehicles resulted in no injuries.

One driver was charged with failing to proceed safely after stopping at a stop sign, while the other driver had no insurance.

A collision at Kenosee Lake involving watercraft resulted in damage, but no injuries.

Police located a driver involved in a hit and run.

Members responded to an incident of road rage between two people. “If you’re driving and you have concerns that make you feel as though you have to follow or confront another motorist, please call the RCMP,” urges Staff Sgt. Simons.

“That’s our job. Even if you feel like you’ve got things under control, a situation where two people are unhappy with each other gets worse, not better. Please, let police handle it.”

RCMP charged the driver of a motorcycle with driving while disqualified. This individual was also accompanied by a female passenger who was not wearing a helmet.

RCMP issued several speeding tickets during this period, with fines reaching $212.

A driver was fined $100 for not displaying a registration permit.

Members issued several traffic tickets and warnings for: seatbelt violations and improper tint as well as damaged windshields, mufflers, tail lights and brake lights.

Members made patrols, but were unable to locate a reported impaired driver in Moose Mountain Provincial Park.

Uttering threats An individual received threatening text messages, which did not result in police laying charges.

However, an individual was arrested on outstanding charges from another detachment.

RCMP conducted an investigation regarding a report of uttering threats and determined it to be unfounded.

Members are investigating threats received by a business in Arcola and in a separate case, a business in Carlyle.

Carievale youth given opportunity through Angels & Friends Foundation Submitted| Angels & Friends

“An intellectual disability does not define a child. Although an intellectual disability is part of who they are, it is not all of who they are. They are children with wishes and dreams. Like every other child, they hope that one day their wishes and dreams will come true”.

- Bradley and Tracy

Schiele, Founders of the Angels & Friends Foundation

Saskatchewan’s Angels & Friends Foundation has recently had the opportunity to work with two Saskatchewan families to grant a wish and honour a memory.

Jonathan Cowan is an eleven-year-old resident of Carievale, Saskatchewan. He lives with 7q36 deletion syndrome; limited in speech and intellectually disabled, Jonathan is a polite, empathetic child who loves farming and tractors and does what he can to avoid the dentist and all creatures slimy. Angels & Friends recently granted a dream trip to Toronto for Jonathan and his family, including visits to Ripley’s Aquarium, the CN Tower, Canada’s Wonderland,

Legoland, the Toronto Zoo, the Hockey Hall of Fame, Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament, nightly swimming and hot tub time, and fireworks (or “pop” as Jonathan calls them). One of the highlights of the trip, both for the Cowan family and the Angels & Friends team that planned the vacation, was attending a Toronto Blue Jays game on July 2. Jonathan went to the game wearing a Toronto Blue Jays t-shirt that his class had given him, and was again surprised when he received a Blue Jays jersey with his name and number 2 on the back delivered to his seat as a gift from the Jays. Unfortunately, the Blue Jays did not have a good game that day, losing 15 – 1 against the Boston Red Sox, but Jonathan and his family had a great day!

Angels & Friends raises funds through their annual Halo Gala in Saskatoon; raffles and individual fundraisers; and through personal donations.

Jonathan’s wish was granted in part through a donation made in memory of Joshua Robert Moffatt (1982 –

The tie between Jonathan’s wish and Joshua’s legacy came through a donation made to Angels & Friends by Joshua’s sister Stacey Adelman.

Serendipitous timing of work for a client who had known Joshua, and stumbling upon an ad for Angels & Friends, led to Adelman reaching out to the foundation to discuss the opportunity to provide a Blue Jays game experience for a wish family.

Quote of the Week...

“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.”

- Seneca

Missing out on the eclipse This past week, on Monday, Aug. 21, a solar eclipse took place and, although tempted, I avoided the phenomenon… until someone in the of�ice made a pinhole viewer and another person brought by welding glass for us to look through.

Essentially the darkness of the eclipse forces our pupils to dilate Kelly Running naturally in order to let in more Observer Staff light and since there are no pain receptors in the retina, the bit of sun poking out from around the edges becomes that much more dangerous than just looking at the sun on a sunny day (your pupils automatically constrict), so during an eclipse the sun can burn your eyes without you really knowing at the time.

The phenomenon which can now be tracked was once thought to be a harbinger of sorts, typically of something nefarious. After all it was a random occurrence that, in the past, Before the Common Era (BCE) civilizations saw as a worrisome occurrence because it appeared as though something was eating the sun. The occurrence is now a cool event for people – who remember to get the special glasses – to enjoy watching. Some communities where it will be a total eclipse have even seen boosted tourist numbers in order to view the phenomenon.

It’s still considered a harbinger of sorts as Hollywood typically uses an eclipse to signify some large change in a TV show or movie. So, if anyone gets super powers after the eclipse like they did in the television series “Heroes” let me know.

Some civilizations like the Aztec and Mayan were enamoured by the phenomenon as well, but they had discovered ways to predict when the next one would occur through their rather advanced study of the sun. It’s even said that the city of Tenochtitlan (present day Mexico City) coincided with an eclipse in 1325.

Anthropologists and Archaeologists even think that the sun god Tonatiuh within the calendar stone of the Aztecs is �ighting with an eclipse monster.

They also believed in the cycles of the world, so an eclipse being the harbinger of change perhaps meant that one cycle of their world was ending and the next beginning – a cosmic shift.

In fact the Mayan culture was very much involved with the sun and the pyramid of Chichen Itza was built, so that during the winter solstice the shadow of the Snake God weaves its way down along the stairs of the pyramid.

They had a great understanding of celestial bodies and understood the movement of stars, the moon, and the sun because they dedicated a lot of time to it. Scientists even discovered that the Mayans – through using the Dresden Codex – had predicted a solar eclipse to within one day, which occurred in 1991. An impressive feat when you think about how many variables in the universe there are.

For the Navajo people it is also a reverent time and one which they believe you should not be outside in or sleep in – taking their learnings from the law of the land. Watching animals during past eclipses, in which the animals don’t sleep, don’t eat, and simply huddle together. It’s a time to respect the natural world, something that could possibly bene�it more people in doing. After all we only have one Earth.

Cultures around the world all see it as something important and typically something that marks change. So, I guess we’ll have to wait and see what that change might be.

Heart of the Moose Mountains

Step in and hang on The Vortex. The Viper. Expedition Everest. Aftershock. Ninja.

These are just some of the jawdropping, spine-tingling, heartstopping roller coasters my husband has dragged me on over the years. We have been flipped, spun, twisted, flung, whirled and twirled and dropped multiple stories in seconds. As this is hapMy Outlook pening he is the very picture of Shelley Luedtke carefree adventure. His smiling face is the kind you see on the theme park brochures. Meanwhile….my knuckles are white from gripping the safety bars, my shoulders are up around my ear lobes, and my eyes are shut so tightly my eyelids disappear. Countless times he has told me to keep my eyes open and take a look at the incredible views that come with being at the top of the world.

I am an obedient rider. I double and triple-check my safety bars, I keep my hands inside the ride at all times, and I ensure my belongings are securely stored. I always followed the directions, but I never enjoyed the ride--until one summer day several years ago in southern California.

I climbed into the coaster called Ghost Rider and as we were getting strapped in I realized I couldn’t see past the shoulder bar to the seat on my right where my oldest daughter was sitting. As the ride took off I let out a series of screams and it struck me that I wasn’t hearing any noise from the rider next to me. Was my daughter okay? Was she still sitting safely in her seat? I hushed the noise coming from my mouth and listened intently when I heard a wonderful sound--a giggle of absolute delight.

My daughter was having a wonderful time. And I couldn’t help but start to laugh too and then I realized--I was having fun.

Sometimes we may feel like our lives are hurtling by like an out of control coaster. We experience dips and drops and ups and downs and we can’t always

see the twists and turns that come up unexpectedly.

But it also makes for quite a ride.

The first thing we need to remember is that it is more fun to get on the ride than to stand by and watch. It may be easier to sit back, to disengage, or just observe from a distance but just think of the sights you’d never see and the sounds you’d never hear. So step into your life, grab hold and get ready for anything.

Life is a whole lot more fun when you experience it with someone you love. The people sitting beside you may change over time and that can be painful, but always be open to the new people who may be waiting to join the ride. They will make the spills easier to take and the thrills that much more exciting.

There are rules that need to be followed but the purpose of life’s rules are not to frustrate or frighten but to provide sense, safety and security. So buckle up and enjoy the ride.

We learn a lot more when we are quiet. If we do all the talking we are missing out on the wisdom, the experience and the humor of others. Listen. You just might find yourself smiling and laughing a whole lot more.

And no matter what, try as hard as you can to keep your eyes open. That is hard sometimes. We want to shut them to pain and misery but in doing so we may also be missing out on spectacular sights and unexpected beauty that just might be right around the next curve.

Yes our time on this earth can leave us with clammy hands, white knuckles, weak knees, upset stomachs and throbbing headaches. But along with that comes hands that intertwine with the fingers of ones we love, knuckles that announce our arrival at a friend’s front door, knees that take us into unforgettable places, stomachs that experience flavors and fullness, and heads that are a storehouse of all that is, and all that is yet to be. So climb in, take a good look around and enjoy the ride of your life.

That’s my outlook.

Financial Focus Practical Money Matters:

How to turn monetary gifts into teachable moments W h e n your kids or teenagers receive m o n e y as gifts, t h e y ’ r e faced with the challenge of Carla Hindman what to do Director of Financial with their Education, Visa Canada newfound cash. While they should be allowed to spend some of it, as a parent you can use these opportunities to teach valuable personal finance lessons.

Here are some ideas to start with – although you can alter the message or subjectmatter to match your child’s level of knowledge and experience with financial matters.

Create money goals together. Planning how to save or spend monetary gifts is a valuable skill at any age. You can start by drawing three columns- spending, saving and giving- and have them set a few goals for each. Explain the difference and importance of long-and short-term goals, and the value of having an emergen-

cy fund (for kids this could be something like helping pay for an unexpected expense, such as a bike repair).

Set priorities and discuss the big picture. Have them add up all of the money they have received and divide it into each column. They will likely find that there isn’t enough money to make a significant impact on all of their goals and they’ll need to prioritize based on how important each goal is to them.

Don’t be afraid to share your own experiences. You could also have them calculate how expected income from allowance, working or upcoming holidays or birthdays could help them achieve their financial goals.

If your kids are just beginning to learn about money and its value, no fear! There are many games and apps available such as Peter Pig’s Money Counter to help familiarize them with identifying, counting and sorting Canadian currency.

Decide where to store the savings. If they don’t already have one, it might be a good time to open a bank account with your children.

PETS & VETS

Discuss the different types of bank accounts available and how they work.

Are you starting to save for your kid’s post-secondary education? Consider opening a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) and encourage your kids to also contribute a percentage of their earnings towards it. Make sure to explain to the benefits of having an RESP. With an RESP, you can watch the money grow tax-free until it’s withdrawn for qualified educational expenses. As a bonus, the federal government will provide a grant of 20 per cent of the first $2500 in annual contributions made to an RESP to a maximum of $500 per year.

(The lifetime Canada Educations Savings Grant limit for an RESP is $7,200).

Comparison shop before making a purchase.

No doubt, children are going to want to spend some of the money right away. This offers an excellent opportunity to discuss the importance of comparison-shopping. Being able to figure out what best fits one’s needs, wants and budget is an important skill at any age.

Is eating grass dangerous for my pet?

Kaitlyn Brown Head for the Hills Veterinary Services

Many dogs, and some cats, enjoy eating grass. Some people believe it means their pets are nauseated, so they eat grass to vomit, but that’s often not the case. Eating large volumes of grass can induce vomiting because the stomach does not like being full and it’s irritating to the lining of the stomach. Balls of grass can become lodged in the intestines and require surgery to remove. But most often, dogs and cats will eat grass because they enjoy the taste. However, eating grass during this time of year can have consequences for your animal. That is because late summer and fall is when grass is seeding and foxtails are abundant. Foxtail is the spiked seeds of grass that function by being picked up by the wind or getting caught in an animal’s hair coat as they brush by, and then drop off into the soil to make another plant. The problems with these spikes occur when they get caught in the animal’s throat.

Dogs have tonsils, just like humans, but unlike humans, they are deep grooves in the back of the dog’s throat.

These deep grooves are an excellent spot for foxtail hairs to get stuck in. Often there will be a history of a dog eating grass and then coughing and gagging for several days following. You cannot see these hairs just by looking into an animal’s throat, because you need to open up the groove of the tonsils to see into them. Most

often, we will need to sedate the animal and clean out the tonsils in order to treat the symptoms.

The best way tp prevent this is to cut down the seeded grass in your yard and to prevent your animal from eating excessive amounts of grass. If your animal has been coughing or gagging, please give your veterinarian a call to book an appointment, there are many potential causes, but foxtails are on the list this time of year.

Dollars are still dollars.

As money becomes increasingly digital and with online banking and ecommerce growing in popularity today’s young people may soon be doing the majority of their transactions online. So helping them learn how to manage, save and spend an allowance and track purchases is more important than ever. Games that focus on real-life scenarios can help teach effective money management techniques at an early age. For example, Money Metropolis is a

game that features a multi-dimensional world where players make real-life decisions that will affect whether their virtual bank account shrinks or grows.

Bottom line: You can’t force behaviors, but you can use teachable moments to explain and practice valuable money management skills.

With a little information and determination, kids and teens can gain the confidence needed to make positive and impactful financial decisions in the future.

Continued from page 7 She described Joshua’s love of the Blue Jays, saying “One of Joshua’s interests was the Toronto Blue Jays. His favourite player was Roberto Alomar. He visited the Skydome in Toronto. When the Jays were on, he would grab his plastic bat and his hat to cheer them on. He rarely missed a game and always communicated the results and plays of the game to us afterwards!”

Adelman echoed a key sentiment of Angels of Friends when she said “I have always supported the need for resources and equipment for individuals with special needs, however, contributing to a wish with Angels and Friends provided me the opportu-

Team Sask concludes the 2017 Canada Summer Games with 35 podium performances and multiple historic finishes After two weeks of intense competition in 16 different sports, the 2017 Canada Summer Games have concluded, with Saskatchewan landing in seventh place in the medal standings.

Team Sask athletes earned 35 medals in total at the Games: 8 gold, 10 silver, and 17 bronze.

Six of those medals were earned by Saskatoon paraswimmer Shelby Newkirk, who won 4 gold and 2 silver medals in Winnipeg. As a seventime Canadian and two-time Americas record holder in various paraswimming events, Newkirk is one of Saskatchewan’s most promising Paralympic prospects. Other Team Sask alumni who have gone on to Olympic glory after competing at the

Canada Games include Catriona LeMay Doan in speed skating and athletics, Brianne TheisenEaton in athletics, and Kaylyn Kyle in soccer.

During week two, six medals were earned in wrestling and an additional three were earned in swimming by Becky Dean, Emma Spence, and Michael McGillivary, who set a new provincial record in his 800m freestyle swim.

Other highlights throughout the course of the Games included Nick Patrick of St. Louis, SK pitching a perfect softball game against B.C.; Joe Gerlinsky of the Battlefords winning gold and the province’s first-ever gold medal in sailing; Kade Johnson of Yorkton shooting a 66 in golf on his birthday, 6 un-

der par and the lowest score of the tournament; men’s softball notching its highest-ever performance at a Games with a silver medal; and additional podium performances in rowing, athletics, and diving.

In what was the highest-attended event of any Canada Games in its 50-year history, Team Sask capped off the first week of the Games with a gold medal baseball match against Team Manitoba. In front of a crowd of 6,800 in Winnipeg’s Shaw Park, Saskatchewan prevailed 3-1 and made history by bringing home the province’s first-ever gold medal in baseball at the Canada Games -- and one of its first-ever gold medal performances in a team sport.

Beyond its seventh-

place standings in the final medal count, Team Sask landed sixth in the provincial and territorial rankings for Flag Points.

Flag points are earned in each event and are used to calculate a province or territory’s aggregate improvement from the most recent Canada Summer Games. By that measure, Team Sask ended up in third place behind Manitoba and New Brunswick. At the 2013 Canada Summer Games held in Sherbrooke, Team Sask ended up in sixth place in both medal count and flag points.

The following sports were contested during the two-week duration of the Games: • Athletics • Baseball (Male) • Basketball (Male & Female)

• Canoe Kayak • Cycling (Road) • Cycling (Mountain Bike) • Diving • Golf • Sailing • Soccer (Male & Female) • Softball (Female & Female) • Swimming • Rowing • Tennis • Triathlon • Volleyball (Male & Female)

• Beach Volleyball (Male & Female) • Wrestling This year saw the Canada Games celebrate its 50th anniversary. The next edition of the biannual Games, which alternate between summer and winter, will be held in Red Deer, Alberta in 2019. The next Canada Summer Games will be held in the Niagara region of Ontario in 2021.

Alida News Submitted by Edel Cowan

Congratulations and Best wishes are extended to Renee Boutin and Levi Lawrence who were married on July 29, 2017 at Cantal and the wedding dance was held at Manor Rink.

Derek Dubuc from Sylvan Lake, AB arrived on Aug. 6 to spend a few days with his parents Darryl and Lisette before attending the family pit BBQ on the weekend of Aug. 11-13. He also spent some quality time with his sister Natalie Lenek and niece Amery of Estevan and sister Brittany of Alida. He left on Aug. 13 to Regina to attend the Rider game before heading back to Sylvan Lake.

There were approximately 50 family members who attended their family reunion at Norm and Dorothy Desautels’ farm over the weekend of August 10-12. A few came with their campers or pitched their tents in the yard. It started on Friday when there was a wiener roast and also dug out the pit and lit the fire in the ground for the beef to cook for the Beef Pit Barbeque supper on Saturday. During the day a horseshoe tournament was held and other lawn games. The weekend ended on Sunday with a friendly water balloon fight. A few people attended the football game in Regina before heading back to their respective homes. Those attending were Maurice Desautels and his 6 children, Gerry from Swift Current, Gisele from Oxbow, David from Penticton, B.C., Normand, Gilbert and Lisette, all from Alida; along with their spouses, children and grandchildren. A fun weekend was enjoyed by all who attended.

Murray Cowan arrived at the Cowan farm in the evening on Monday, August 14 after spending some time at the dam fishing with his brother Tim. He spent a few days visiting with his parents

Gray and Edel and doing some quad riding.

Adam Cowan arrived on Tuesday also to spend time quading around the farm and visiting with his grandparents while enjoying a few holiday hours away from the city.

Murray and Adam returned to Estevan on August 17.

John Cowan, Hillcrest Mines, AB arrived at the Cowan farm on Thursday, August 17 where he will visit the Cowan family, his cousin Gray, Edel, Tim, Shelly and Ainsley.

He is hoping to be able to help out for a while with the harvest. While here he will also visit with his cousin Joyce George and Jackie (Redvers). He was also able to visit with Murray before Murray left for home.

Spending a week with their grandparents, Margaret and Brian Peet were grandsons Connor and Cole Hoffman (Viking, AB) and while here they took swimming lessons and enjoyed time at the Alida pool with their Peet cousins. Granddaughters Claire and Alice Mowchenko (Estevan) also spent a few days at their grandparents and enjoyed playtime with their cousins.

Spending some holiday time with their grandparents, Prudent and Joey Mailhiot were Kylan and Tatym Mailhiot (Medicine Hat, AB). They enjoyed their time both at the farm, camping and boating at the dam.

On Aug. 19 members of the Cowan family gathered at Moose Creek Regional Park with Tim, Shelly and Ainsley where they enjoyed a picnic lunch brought in by family members and then all enjoyed a boat ride as well as some fishing. Those attending were Joyce and Jackie George (Redvers), John Cowan (Hillcrest Mines, AB), Murray Cowan (Estevan), Dustin Cowan (Weyburn), Gray and Edel. A fish fry was then enjoyed by everyone

before heading back to their respective homes.

Congratulations and best wishes are extended to Troy Gervais and Bailey Wilmot who were married Aug. 19 at the Eric Wilmot farm near Carnduff.

There were many family members and friends from near and far who attended the Gervais/ Wilmot wedding.

Harvest has finally gotten underway here on the Cowan farm today (Sunday, August 20) and in general combining is in full swing in this little corner of Saskatchewan.

Before one knows it this harvest season will be coming to an end if the weatherman will co-operate and continue to give us this dry, hot weather (well it could cool down a little, no one would really complain if it did). Good luck fella as you progress throughout this busy season and please remember to be careful out there on the machinery.

I hate to be the one to burst the holiday bubble – but they are coming to an end very quickly. When this comes into print there will only be a week left and school will be back into session. Where does the time go? Speaking of holidays – the long weekend in September is just around the corner – so a reminder that not only does my news column have to go in same time on Monday, August 28 for the September 1st issue, but then I will need news to be ready to go in on Thursday, August 31 for the September issue (an early deadline due to the long weekend). If this is confusing – just remember to let me know any news anytime and I will see that it gets into the papers sometime. Either call (306-443-2496) or text (306-485-8561) or e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel. net) I do appreciate your help.

Until next time – keep smiling – think positive – drive safely and take care.

Carlyle Fun Dayz Parade

Vintage vehicle fans had the opportunity to view some sweet rides during the Carlyle Fun Dayz parade and at a Show ‘n’ Shine on Saturday, Aug. 19.

Carlyle Fun Dayz returned to the community Saturday, Aug. 19, after a successful start last summer. This year, the celebration marked Canada’s 150th birthday and featured events and attractions for all ages, including a parade, inflatable activity zone, musical performances

by Rory Allen and The Bromantics, and more.

Pictured representing The Carlyle Chamber of Commerce are Nicole Currie and Carlyle’s own Olympian, Carter Morrison.

Carlyle Fun Dayz 2017 was designed to showcase the community, according to organizer Jenn Sedor. Here, Crescent Point Resources showcases their parade entry.

Even though it is only celebrating its second year, Carlyle Fun Dayz kicked off its parade with a tradition that began last year. “Last year, the parade was led by kids on their bikes and this year, we’re continuing that tradition,” says organizer, Jenn Sedor.

The VanDresar and Fischer familes entered a float, manned a food booth and hosted a fundraising game during Carlyle Fun Dayz as part of their tireless efforts to raise funds for and awareness of, ALS.

Dale Brady added an equine element to the Carlyle Fun Dayz parade.

Kennedy/Langbank News Submitted by Connie Schwalm I’m not sure if any of you are as shocked as I am to find us already this close to the end of the summer. I went through the same thing last summer. But, I really had assumed that it was the circumstances that had made the summer fly past so quickly last year.

Apparently, circumstances have very little to do with it.

I suspect that there are quite a few young

people that are going through the same kind of ‘shock and awe’ that I am...since as those commercials (that I actually haven’t yet seen this year) joyfully proclaim...“It’s the most wonderful time of the year”!

Students in all grades will head back to school on Tuesday, Sept. 5th.

Classes begin at 8:50 am and end at 3:25 pm.

Parents who don’t want to see their children

struggling with overstuffed backpacks are free to drop school supplies off at the school on August 29th between 8am and 7pm. As well, there will be a Kindergarten Information Meeting at the school on August 29th beginning at 7pm.

This community was deeply saddened to hear of the tragic passing of Frank and Morene Bali.

Our profound sympathy goes out to their

family. Funeral services for the couple were held at Bekevar Heritage Church on Tuesday, Aug. 22nd. Those wishing to do so may make a donation in the couple’s name to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

I’m afraid that this is all that I have for you this week. Please feel free to give me a call or text to 306-495-8888 and let me know if you have news that you would like to share.

Wawota News and friends there.

Eva Corkish of Regina visited with her grandmother, Shirley Corkish and the Jeff Corkish family. She also spent a week at Kenosee Lake Kitchen Party.

Belated Happy Birthday to Dorothy Mielitz who celebrated her 100th party on August 12th with a party in Moosomin. Her actual birthday was in June.

She and her late husband, John are former residents of Mair.

July visitors with Jim and Josephine Easton

were Larry Cameron of Rocky Mountain House, AB and Deanne Watson and boys from Calgary. Marlee and Julia Easton of White City also visited.

Sympathy to Darren and Kathy Olson and family on the passing of Kathy’s mother Alma Nordal of Moosomin. She passed away on August 12th in her 89th year. Her funeral service was held at the Funeral home in Moosomin on August 17th.

Interment was in Fairmede Cemetery.

Congratulations to

Colton and Danielle Frederickson on the birth of a son on Aug. 11. He weighed 7 lbs 13 oz. and has been named Flynn Curtis.

I enjoyed seeing many former residents of Wawota at the Heritage Days. Some of these included Ethel Choo Foo of Swift Current, Delores Porter of Regina, Alex and Maureen McIssac of Saskatoon, Owen Garratt of Spruce Grove, AB, Doris Kennett of Regina and Kim Kennett of New Zealand and Victoria Saville.

Some from every tribe

By Linda Wegner There’s little to compare with the pleasure of spending time with family and friends you love and these past few days have provided perfect examples of that. Last week we heralded the arrival of our son, daughter-inlaw and granddaughter from Saskatchewan; it’s been pure joy to be with them. In between chatting, picking berries and re-connecting with their many friends here, they’ve taken time just to be with us.

Then this week I had the privilege of meeting a special lady I’d only been acquainted with by means of these weekly articles. From Michigan, she’s here visiting her son and some of his family. She graciously took time out to enjoy an afternoon of High Tea (beautiful English tradition) and a get-acquainted visit with me.

Another true delight.

I’ve now added her to my list of special friends and, by association, a greater sense of community with those ladies who also receive my articles from her. I guess I’d call those “long-distance but highly valued friendships”.

Love and unity between family members and friends have more than adult benefits, though. From those first moments following birth, children depend on adult care, whether from family or otherwise, to provide their basic needs for survival.

If protection, training

and self-esteem are not provided, that child or those children feel the lack for their entire lives.

As children head into the big world of school, the need for friendship is just as crucial. Just ask those of us who were bullied or ignored!

Throughout the decades of my life I have de-

Pause for Reflection

Mary, miracles and praying for peace Traditional English and German Christmas carols reflect on Mary: For in this rose contained was / Heaven and earth in little space.

When St John Paul II visited his homeland Poland, he prayed: “Lord send forth your Spirit and renew the face of the earth.” And he struck the earth with his staff and insisted, “This earth! This earth!”

No one prayed the Rosary more fervently than Pope John Paul II. In age and poor health he knelt daily. Poland was freed from Communism and religious freedom flourished there.

Saint Pius IX said: “Give me an army reciting the Rosary and I will

conquer the world.”

In the miracle of Lepanto, the Ottoman forces were rolling across the Mediterranean bent on destroying Rome.

Pope Pius V, later canonized, forged an alliance between Spain and Venice who were enemies, and with a Hail Mary prayer, literally, they attacked the Turks.

The leading ships were flying the flag of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and the Mass was celebrated and the rosary was recited daily on the ships heading into battle.

October 7, 1571, Pope Pius V was praying the Rosary, along with all the convents and monasteries, while the ships of the coalition

of Christian countries routed the Turkish fleet in Greek waters and ended the Ottoman Empire’s attempt to destroy Christianity.

In the apparitions of Mary at Fatima, 1917, Mary repeated, “Pray the Rosary”, “Pray for peace”. What is the power of the Rosary?

Let me illustrate.

When the atomic bomb destroyed Hiroshima there was total destruction for 1.5 kilometers around. A small house, only 8 buildings from the point of the explosion, remained intact.

It was the presbytery where 8 Jesuit fathers were living. None of them was affected

200 scientists examined these men who survived while thousands of living beings perished around them. The only difference was that the Rosary was recited every day in that house.

At the 1976 Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia Father Hubert Schiffer gave public testimony about this miraculous event. At the time the seven other survivors were still living. (Internet source) In 2004, Franciscan priest Father Abuna Nirwan faced an Islam-

“And why can’t I bring the knife down? Who are you?” Then he said, “Father, you and the others—go back to the car.”

We went back to where the car was. (A Moment With Mary, Mary of Nazareth Association) December 2014, Bishop Oliver Dashe Doeme of Nigeria had a vision of Jesus who handed him a sword. When he took it, the sword turned into a rosary. “Boko Haram will go. Boko Haram will go. Boko Haram will go,” Christ said.

What can I add to these seven illustrations? It is time to pray the Rosary. Pray for Peace.

Abuna, given a moment to pray, had in his possession a relic of a Dominican Sister who was later canonized.

Abuna prayed to Sister Maria Alphonsine Danil Ghettas, “It can’t be by chance that I’m carrying you with me. If it is necessary that I die, take me…I am ready, but if not, I ask that no one else die.”

The terrorist grabbed Abuna’s head, gripped his shoulder, and lifted the blade, then froze.

Moments passed. Suddenly he asked, “Who
