Organizer Andy Robertson says the accessibility of Manor’s PBR competition is an added attraction for rodeo fans. “You’re right on top of it as a spectator,” says Robertson. “You can really see it and that makes it different from a big fair event.”

BIG

The 38th edition of Manor Fun Daze was - as always - centred around the Professional Bull Riders (PBR)-sanctioned competition, but the Saturday, July 22 celebration offered a day of fun for all ages, with proceeds benefiting the community.

The winner of the 2017 Manor PBR event buckle is bull rider Lachlan Richardson of Gresford, New South Wales, Australia, while Edgar Durazo of Moctezuma Sonora, Mexico won the $1,000 bonus round.

Both Richardson and Durazo were two of over 30 professional bull riders who competed at Manor PBR. This year’s competition packed the stands, with hundreds watching cowboys from Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Australia and New Zealand compete in a two-round format.

Richardson cinched the championship with a score of 84.5 on the bull Centrifugal from Carlyle’s R-Saga Ranch.

From Front Page- Manor Fun Daze The Australian cowboy earned a score of 85.5 points in the second round atop Marshall’s Law, a bull from Wild Hogs of Marawayne, Alberta.

Durazo won the $1,000 prize with a score of 87.5 on the bull Finning Lil Shorty, from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan’s Flying Four.

The competition began with a moment’s silence in honour of Manor PBR committee members who have passed away – Marg Rose, Edie Scott, Bob Akins and Glen Rowley.

“It’s a real important community event,” says organizer Andy Robertson.

Organizer Wendy Zandee says Manor Fun Daze has been an event designed to benefit the Village of Manor since it began nearly 40 years ago.

“The main thing is we try to put the profits back into the community again,” says Zandee. “In the past, we’ve donated to the Over-50 Club, the Legion, Manor School, the rink and the museum. It’s an event for people from Manor and elsewhere to enjoy and by doing that, they’re also contributing to the community.”

Both Dr. Robert Kitchen, MP for Souris Cannington and Dan D’Autremont, MLA for

Cannington were in attendance this year, with D’Autremont rising early to cook pancakes at the breakfast and later, to ride in the parade with Manor mayor, Donald Dion.

In addition to the heart-stopping bullriding action - with the added attraction of entertainer Austin Stewart Manor Fun Daze/PBR offered a full slate of events, which included a pancake breakfast and a parade which featured bagpipers, horses, firetrucks,

floats vintage farm equipment and candy galore for kids young and old, all on Main Street.

At the rodeo grounds, the “Skid” Clarke Memorial Slo-Pitch Tournament hosted eight teams from Manor, Arcola, Redvers and White Bear First Nations (who won the tournament) while Ladies Junior Barrel Racers also competed nearby.

Event announcer Ward Cutler praised the beef and pork barbeque by Manor’s Weirs Catering, saying the visiting bull

riders enjoyed the meal as much as the locals who lined up for the pre-PBR supper, while Saskatchewan country singer Chris Henderson performed at the final event - the Cowboy Cabaret.

“Our attendance was up this year,” says Zandee. “And we’d like to thank everyone who came out - our sponsors, the fans who came out, all of the volunteers who helped and all of the folks who made Manor Fun Daze and PBR the great event it is.”

The day centered around the evening’s Professional Bull Riding Event - a two round format with over 30 professional bull riders from Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Australia and New Zealand. The winner of the 2017 event buckle is Lachlan Richardson of Gresford, New South Wales, Australia. Bull rider Edgar Durazo (not pictured) of Moctezuma Sonora, Mexico won the $1,000 bonus round.

Small town, big show: Moose Mountain Pro Rodeo celebrates 85 years Kelly Running Observer Staff

Hundreds of people descended on Kennedy, a small town that puts on a big show. Where tradition meets community, the Moose Mountain Pro Rodeo celebrated 85 years on the weekend.

The event kicked off on Friday, July 21, with the beer gardens and open mic, while the main action was held on the Saturday and Sunday of the event. Saturday morning saw a pancake breakfast and the Rodeo Slack held, before the annually beloved parade on Main Street. It was a beautiful day and numerous floats were entered to celebrate the rodeo weekend and 85 years of western tradition.

During the day a trade show was held under the new Loraas Disposal Trade Centre, while a demo derby and quad mud fling was also held.

Later that evening the popular band Third Degree Birnz played in the

evening At 5 p.m. the action ramped up with the Rodeo Grand Entry kicked off with O Canada performed by a homegrown country artist from Kennedy – Eli Barsi.

The community welcomed back Big Stone Rodeo stock contractor to the event with subcontractors including Prime Time, NorthcottMacza, JSR, and Big Stone. Jim Turner and John Gillis were this year’s judges and the official timers included Teresa Hougg and Jacqueline McKennitt.

The pick-up men in the arena who assist cowboys off their mounts and bring in the stock following the performances were Brett Thompson and Tyler Kraft.

Announcer Joe Braniff returned to get the crowd going and the filled stands led sores of whoops, hollers, yahoos, and yeehaws as they cheered for the competitors throughout the evening.

The safety of both the people competing and the animals are a priority for any rodeo thus EMS and veterinarians are always on hand. There were a few injuries between the two-days, which were somber moments as the crowd waited to see if the injured were going to be alright as EMS responded.

Action continued on the Sunday, with the Grand Entry at 2 p.m. with a KFC supper, demo derby, and quad mud fling.

“Volunteers are the backbone of the Moose Mountain Rodeo Association,” Tye Cancade, President of the MMPR stated, “From the people who pick up the garbage, to the committee board, to all the behind the scene items, there isn’t a single penny paid to these individuals. A lot of hard work and dedication goes into putting on an event of this caliber. Thank you to each one of you. I am lucky to lead such a wonderful, hardworking, dedicated, diverse group of people, whose passion for not only the sport of rodeo, but the community of Kennedy is truly humbling.”

“I am proud to say that we have made it to our 85th year of this great tradition and plans are already underway for next year’s 86th annual pro rodeo!”

One exciting achievement of Cancade’s is having found sponsorship for each chute, which was a goal when he took over as president four years ago.

Growler Lounge kicks off with chicken eating contest for a cause Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Bear Claw Casino and Hotel celebrated the unveiling of their new Growler Bar, which serves Charley Biggs’ Chicken n’ Sauce in the Casino. The launch was held on Friday, July 21, and kicked off with a chicken eating contest – King of the Wing Challenge - at 3 p.m.

The first three participants to take to the contest were Chief Nathan Pasap, Rafael Pineda (local veterinarian with Head for the Hills), and Scott Paquin (employee at the Bear Claw). The dignitaries were pitted against each other to eat 12 wings, 12 wedges, and 12 ounces of soda in 12 minutes

or less. The individual who finished the most after 12 minutes or was the fastest to eat the meal earned $500 to the charity of their choice.

This part of the event saw Pineda earn the win, which saw Cheryl Winkler’s wildlife rehabilitation centre, Moose Mountain R n R. “It’s important to support her [Cheryl Winkler],” Pineda said.

“There’s not much funding to help wildlife and she’s put a lot of work into it, so it’s nice to be able to help her a little bit. I like her cause.”

Following the King of the Wing kick off the event was opened up to anyone who wanted to participate until 6 p.m.

The winners received their meal for free.

Dance the Magic Kelly Running Observer Staff

Local dancers with The Weyburn Dance Zone recently had an amazing opportunity to perform in Disneyland as part of Disney’s Dance the Magic, which brings together dancers from around the world. Participating from Carlyle were Kassidy Schultz, Tyra Newell, Jenna McAuley, Payton Spry, and Jaiden Riddell, and from Arcola were Izzy Pittman, Abigail Birch, and Olivia Brownridge.

Together, along with dancers from Weyburn, Milestone, and Pangman, they practiced and put in a lot of work to be able to perform in Disneyland.

Instructor and owner of The Dance Zone,

Tammy Bhimji submitted an audition to Disney, and then dancers that wanted to participate could, which this year included dancers from six to 16-yearsold.

After being accepted into the program, Bhimji and Dance Zone Instructor Ashely Heggs were sent choreography and the music, “Take on the World” (from Girl meets World

by Sabrina Carpenter).

The dancers had one month to learn and practice it. Once arriving in Disneyland they would be evaluated and placed accordingly for the parades.

Thirty-two participants from The Dance Zone at “Dance the Magic” in California from July 5-9. They took part in Disney

Dance Workshops – which were led by Disney performers – performed in two parades –Disneyland and California Adventure – and many also chose to participate in a showcase performance on Disney’s Fantasy Land Stage.

Richelle McAuley, mother of Jenna, explained, “Disney parades happen all the time down there, but these particular parades involve dancers from all over the world – from countries like Australia, Japan, Canada and the United States. The first two days were dance camps, the 7 th and 8 th were parade days – on the Disney side they performed a 30 minute parade and on the California Adventure side they performed for 45 minutes.. All participants danced the same choreography in sync during the entire parade!”

With each group having been evaluated once in Disneyland, Richelle adds, “Everyone had multi-coloured matching costumes, ours were dark blue. Our dancers got

Of the 32 participants, which went down to Disneyland to perform in the camps and parades, 21 also participated in a showcase performance on the Fantasy Land Stage. The Showcase number was choreographed and directed

by Bhimji, Heggs, as well as Kim Ziffle, all with The Dance Zone.

The dancers had a short time to learn this performance, which was then approved by Disney to be performed on the big stage.

“It was pretty cool to watch on that stage,” Richelle exclaimed.

“All of the dance groups can submit performances, not all get chosen.

Tammy [Bhimji] chose to choreograph something from a routine some of the younger dancers competed with, and add to it, so that everybody who wanted to be in it could be.

In addition to all of the hard work dancers do throughout the regular dance and competition season, those participating in Dance the Magic put in numerous extra hours to prepare for this experience; spending the month of June, at least times per week, practicing to prepare for the parades and showcase. Their hard work paid off though as they earned a spot leading their portion of the parade and were exemplary on the Fantasy Land Stage.

Overall it was an amazing experience for the dancers to be a part of an opportunity to perform in front of thousands of people.

Richelle added, “Our dancers would like to send a special thanks to Ms Tammy and Ms Ashley for ‘making the magic of Disney happen!’”

Council allows Canada 150 Drone to visit Carlyle Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Carlyle Town Council held its regular bi-weekly meeting on Wednesday, July 19. Council’s next meeting will take place at the Carlyle Civic Centre at 7 p.m., Wednesday, August 2.

Canada 150 Drone Council approved a request for a drone to fly over Carlyle, subject to Transport Canada regulations.

In celebration of Can-

ada’s 150th birthday, Duracell and Maclean’s magazine are launching the first drone that will travel across Canada.

The drone will capture footage that will be live streamed.

The project began at the edge of the Alaska/ Yukon border at the Top of the World’s Highway in Little Gold on July 20 and will end in Tilt Cove St. John’s, Newfoundland, the most eastern point of Canada, at the end of August.

The drone weighs 2 kg. and will be flown by a qualified UAV operator.

RCMP Quarterly Report Staff Sgt. Darren Simons of the Carlyle RCMP detachment delivered the quarterly community policing report to Carlyle Town Council.

Simons addressed three major areas of concern: police staffing, youth crime in the community and the re-

cent investigation in Kenosee Lake which resulted in five arrests and where members of the Hell’s Angels motorcycle club were present.

Simons says that although many RCMP detachments – including the one in Carlyle – are dealing with staff shortages, morale remains good and local members are actively tackling youth crime and other concerns within the community

and throughout the detachment area.

Regarding the recent high-profile arrests which occurred during May long weekend at Kenosee Lake and where members of the Hell’s Angels were present, Simons says: “This investigation took a lot of effort, due to people’s fear of getting involved.”

Need a book. Take a book. Leave a book.

Little Free Libraries are becoming popular. The small, birdhouse-like boxes are popping up in places like Redvers and Kenosee Lake, and are a fun way to encourage reading. The Free Little Library allows one to leave a book once finished and pick up a new one that someone else has left behind.

Perfect for vacationing or if you are simply looking for a new read, Little Free Libraries are becoming more and more popular. Through Little Free Libraries, millions of books are exchanged each year – and offers access to books for readers of all ages – “One of the most successful ways to improve the reading achievement of children is to increase their access to books, especially at home,” Little Free Library online explains.

Although a lot of material can be found online or people have taken to e-readers, there is still something special about a paper book. The intrigue and suspense with each page turned, excitedly awaiting the plot twist or conclusion.

The Little Free Library is unique as it provides 24/7 access to books, encourages a love of reading, and encourages a unique bond amongst book lovers who partake in the exchange of books. You never know where one might have come from or where one will be left once it’s picked up.

You could even write in

who assisted police in this matter and I would urge others not to fear standing up for what is right. We live in a safe, productive society because people are willing to stand up for what is right and I’d like to remind the public that RCMP members are not just police officers, but also members of the communities we serve.”

Little Free Library’s were created by Todd Bol, who in 2009, had lost his mother and began driving one day – looking to work through his grief. Arriving home to Hudson, Wisconsin, he decided to build a box that would house books free for people to take one or leave one in honour of his mother – a former teacher. This grew into the non-profit, Free Little Libraries.

Little Free Library’s are found in over 70 countries and there are over 50,000 of them standing. If traveling this summer visit, https://littlefreelibrary. org/ourmap/ to find one along the route you’re taking this year.

So, while in Redvers stop by the Log Cabin to take or leave or trade a book, or go for a walk along Arcola Ave. in Moose Mountain Provincial Park and find the one at the park to interact with.

Quote of the Week...

“This is the precept by which I have lived: Prepare for the worst; expect the best; and take what comes.”

- Hannah Arendt

A decision of a lifetime Going around social media recently was an image of a gentleman from New Zealand who has the word “DEVAST8” – his nickname – written across his face.

In block letters the negative space depicts the word, while the rest of the tattoo is in black across his face like a beard.

Apparently the tattoo was Kelly Running supposed to be small and simObserver Staff ply run along his jawline; but while in prison his cell mate and brother gave him the tattoo. They were drunk off of fermented apples, sugar, and bread... and the tattoo became a little larger than originally planned.

He posted the photo of himself, saying essentially that he regrets the tattoo, but that it’s there and he is now in search of work.

My reaction to the tattoo, “That guy just ruined his life.” I have tattoos, but they can all be covered.

A tattoo on the face means that your job options are immediately hindered. Despite society being more accepting of tattoos and more people than ever before with tattoos, certain types of tattoos do make you think – criminal. Granted this guy has been to jail, hopefully he’s been rehabilitated and ready to be reintegrated into society.

However, a stupid mistake means that he’s now going to have to live with that for the rest of his life.

Luckily as a result of the post, an Auckland company has offered to remove the tattoo free of charge as well as transport him to and from the clinic, which he has accepted.

So, although society is more accepting of tattoos, something like that would definitely warrant a second look walking down the street. The majority of people with tattoos typically stay away from their face from what I’ve seen. Personally I stick to ones that can be covered. Although warm in the summer, I can wear long sleeves and pants. It’s not that his are offensive, which is typically why you’re asked to cover them or can’t have them for certain jobs, it’s just a rather striking image to see him with such a large tattoo – BAM – right there.

Obviously I like tattoos. But, I am the type of person that likes to have my meaning behind them and wouldn’t want them to be offensive. My interpretation of meaning and offensive could be different from someone else’s though and I’m fully aware that saying I’m not fond of his choice definitely means there are people out there not fond of mine.

So, it’s good on that company that’s offered to help him out since he does want it removed. But, I guess that’s the thing with tattoos. You have to be in your right mind, know what you want and realize that it will be with you forever. I personally don’t regret any of mine. Do I think a different artist on some of my earlier ones could have done a better job or the art would have been better from my current artist I go to, yes. But, they’re all meaningful and I wouldn’t change them.

The majority had a lot of thought put into them, while a couple were deals I made with volleyball teams I’ve coached. But, each of those too are meaningful because those kids likely aren’t going to forget winning a gold medal at the Saskatchewan Summer Games and their coach getting a volleyball tattoo to commemorate it. Or the ones a few years ago that earned top eight in the province and had a deal that it qualified for a tattoo of our team logo.

So, it’s definitely something that requires some thought not only of what you’re getting, but where you’re putting it.

Not for an emergency... it’s more special than that Once again there are images of the tens of thousands of people who had to be evacuated from their communities due to the threat of forest fires. They do so leaving behind and walking away from the place they call home knowing their property and belongings might not be there when they are allowed to return. As we My Outlook listen to the stories, and even as Shelley Luedtke we hear the firsthand accounts, we can’t possibly know the full extent of the anxiety and helplessness they are experiencing, unless we ourselves have been through something similar.

A student who sat across from me in our grade seven home room had experienced this kind of loss when their home burned down. It happened before I moved into the community so I wasn’t aware of the story until one day when a comment was made by a classmate who spoke about it in an off-hand manner. Perhaps they were overly familiar with her story and could now speak of it casually but for me the information was jarring. I couldn’t imagine it. We had recently moved which meant a different town, different school, and of course a different house but we got to take everything with us as we moved. The objects familiar to me in my old room were still with me in my new surroundings.

A friend of mine lived in another part of the world for several years. Because of where they were and the nature of their work, they knew an evacuation order could be given at any time. A list hung in their kitchen of the items they were to take with them so that as they prepared to leave quickly they took what was necessary and not what overwhelming emotions might have caused them to take.

Residents evacuating Fort McMurray last year shared many humorous stories of what they had taken under the stress of leaving in such haste. Cheese slices and snow pants. A propane tank. No shoes, but a pair of slippers. No passport, but a bag of Cad-

bury mini-eggs. No underwear, but a pie plate. Half a blender and a watermelon. A bag of potatoes. Selftanner. And on it went.

It prompted conversation over coffee for a group of us as we considered what we would take if we needed to evacuate that quickly. Many mentioned grabbing photo albums that are sitting in bins or in closets; others talked about special pieces of jewelry they have tucked away, and one lady said she would grab a couple of heirlooms that are in a box under her bed.

If those things mean so much to us--if they are the items we wouldn’t leave without--why are they in the back of closets, or in boxes under our beds?

Granted, sometimes the monetary value require that they receive exceptional care and not be vulnerable to getting broken or damaged, but those items are often kept in special storage.The types of items we were discussing were things like vacation pictures people hadn’t taken time to do anything with, a cherished quilt, and a stunning necklace from a beloved great aunt. Such special things. Tucked away.

Unused. Unseen.

But what could be better than allowing ourselves to be surrounded by these items each and every day?

If their beauty, their meaning and their value is so unique that we would bring them with us as we clear out, shouldn’t they be the things in our homes that are out and about?

Imagine the smiles the holiday pictures could help you recall if they were out where they could be seen.

Think about wrapping yourself in that treasured quilt and feeling embraced by all that makes it so meaningful. And consider how thrilled that favourite great aunt would be knowing a piece of jewelry was being worn and enjoyed, likely as she intended, rather than tucked away because it was deemed too special to wear.

These items shouldn’t require an emergency to brought out, remembered and held close. Whatever you would want in your vehicle tomorrow should be what you are using today.

That’s my outlook.

Mortgage basics 101 If you’re thinking about buying a home, one of the first questions you may ask yourself is, “How much can I afford?” Getting advice from a knowledgeable Advisor is a good start. Mortgages are big investments that require financial stability and dedication. Start the process on the right foot by familiarizing yourself with different types of mortgages and rates, and learn helpful facts that will prepare you to be a responsible homebuyer.

Types of mortgages Closed mortgages Closed mortgages have prepayment options of up to 20% of the original mort-

gage amount. If you decide to pay out, renegotiate or refinance before the end of the term of a closed mortgage, prepayment costs will be applied.

Open mortgages - An open mortgage can be repaid at any time throughout the term, either in full or partially without any prepayment costs. Provides flexibility until you are ready to lock into a closed term.

Convertible mortgages A convertible mortgage is similar to a closed mortgage, but gives you the option of converting to a longer term, closed mortgage at any time without prepayment costs.

With this option you can

make an annual prepayment up to 10% of the original mortgage amount.

Types of mortgage interest rates Fixed rate mortgages - A fixed interest rate remains the same throughout the entire term. This option allows your payment to remain constant so you know exactly how much you will pay every month and what amount you will have paid off at the end of the term.

Variable rate mortgages - A variable interest rate will fluctuate with the CIBC Prime rate throughout the mortgage term. This impacts the amount of principal that you pay off each

month as your mortgage payment will remain constant.

Mortgage amortization and mortgage term Amortization period The estimated number of years it will take you to pay off your mortgage. Amortization periods are often 15, 20, or 25 years long.

Mortgage term - A mortgage is usually amortized over a long period, made up of shorter mortgage terms.

Your term is your current contract to pay your mortgage under the terms you’ve negotiated with your lender.

After the term expires, the mortgage can be renegotiated.

Mortgage down payment options Conventional mortgages The down payment is at least 20% of the purchase price.

High-ratio mortgages The down payment is less than 20% of the purchase price. You are required to have at least a 5% down payment when buying a house. High-ratio mortgages must be insured by a third party such as the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Genworth Financial Canada or Canada Guaranty and require you to pay an insurance premium.

Mortgage payment options - Mortgage payments can be made weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly and monthly.

Nutrition and Fitness Pt 1 – See next week for more Why exercise?

Studies show that only about 15 percent of Canadians get enough regular physical activity, and that 65 percent of people are not physically active enough to maintain their heart health. Being active can help you maintain a healthy body weight and reduce your risk of certain conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. If you’re not a big fan of grueling workouts in the gym, rest assured that there are plenty of fun ways to stay fit this summer with outdoor activities. And when you’re having fun, you’re more likely to stick with an exercise plan that’s right for you! Even 20 minutes of moderate exercise each day will help improve and maintain your health.

There are many other reasons to be active this summer. Exercise can help you: improve your muscle tone, relieve stress, improve your body image, increase your energy and concentration levels, protect your bones, improve your circulation, improve your digestive health, as well as have fun and be social.

Physical activity ideas There are more ways than you might think for you and your family to get enough physical activity to keep healthy. Here are a few ideas: Take a walk – it’s a simple activity to get the ball rolling, Make a play for it – fly a kite or throw a Frisbee, Start a family health club – gather your family for an evening activity from catch to a walk, Support the sports – partici-

pate in an individual or team sport to stay motivated, Just the basics – gardening, yard work, housework, dancing, walking up stairs, leisure activities such as golf, etc…

What to eat before, during and after a workout Everybody knows that you need to eat the right things if you want to stay healthy and fit. But what are the ‘right things?’ What does your body need in order to help you stay active?

One important answer is glucose. Glucose fuels your body needs, especially at the beginning of exercise. Even after you’ve been exercising for a while and your muscles are getting energy from fat,

glucose is still important. It’s like gasoline for your body – so keep your gas tank full.

Glucose comes from carbohydrates. Maintain a well-balanced diet and choose lots of fruit and vegetables to go with your grains (pasta, rice, bread, cereal). And remember to eat the right things at the right times – food takes time to digest.

Water is another part of eating healthy. You need water to keep the nutrients circulating in your body and to clear out the waste. And you seat off a lot of water when you exercise (even if you’re swimming).

You can get your water from milk, juice, sports drinks – or plain old water.

Uttering threats A report of an individual uttering threats was found to be false by RCMP;.

When good comes out of bad

By Linda Wegner Over the past several weeks my articles have been influenced by the current forest fire situation in our province and on the impact it’s had on families. At the risk of over-kill of the subject, I want to share a personal and family-related celebration linked directly to the current conflagration.

The beginning of this saga took place at an evacuation centre in central British Columbia where evacuees, upon the arrival from their various towns and regions, registered with the Red Cross. It was at this centre that my brother and his wife had arranged to meet their son and his family. In a

wonderful act of kindness, a nearby church also offered them and the staff of a Bible camp our nephew manages, the use of their facilities. As they unloaded their vehicles and their dogs, a neighbour came over to explain that he was a volunteer with the SPCA and to offer to help with the care of their animals. With that so-called chance meeting and the execution of yet another act of kindness, our family circle widened.

As my brother, my nephew and the neighbour continued their conversation they noted that that he and our family shared a common surname. To make a long story short, each

one quickly discovered that they were now speaking with previously unrealized branches of the clan. I can hardly describe the excitement we’ve all experienced as a result. Since that discovery the men have met, shared stories and histories and made plans for mutual visits in the future.

Again, at the risk of becoming repetitious, if realizing that folks sharing our names and heritage live within driving distance can bring such overwhelming joy and excitement, I can’t even imagine what heaven will be like.

“Some from every tribe and nation will be there!” (Revelation 5:9) Can’t wait!

Wawota Heritage Days set for August long Kelly Running Observer Staff

Wawota ‘150’ Heritage Days is set for Aug. 4-6 in the Pipestone Valley just north of town. Celebrating Canada’s 150th, the annual Heritage Days has grown over the years and will be bringing back the Manitoba Ranch Rodeo Association sanctioned rodeo again after a very successful event held last year, which garnered the 2016 MRRA Rodeo of the Year award.

A town-wide parade will kick off the event at 2 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 4, which will be followed by the opening ceremonies of the rodeo and a Calcutta held to pick your favourites to win. The rodeo will get under way at 4 p.m. and is expected to last until 8 p.m. During this time kids’ activities, an Old West photo booth for a “freewill donation” to the Museum, and food vendors will all be present, while at 5 p.m. a Roast Beef Supper will be served with proceeds going towards a new Community Camp

Kitchen in Wawota’s Centennial Park. The Roast Beef Supper is set for $10 or $12 with a drink.

The action and excitement will continue into the evening with a Wawota Has Talent Show, Traditional Drumming, as well as fireworks and a cabaret held at the beer gardens.

The next day will see the Legion host a pancake breakfast at 8 a.m.; followed by the Saturday Calcutta at 9:30 a.m.

Day two of rodeo action will start up at 10 a.m.

During the rodeo action Laser Tag will start at 11 a.m., while musical entertainment, kids’ activities, photo booth, pie baking and pie eating contests, food vendors, and the beer gardens will open at 1 p.m.

“You don’t want to miss the Second Annual Pie Eating Contest at the Ranch Rodeo!”

The committee writes in News-in-Five. “Will Brad Rutten keep the record set last year or will he be overthrown by a new champion?”

“Tickets will be for

sale all day Friday and Saturday on the rodeo grounds - $1 per ticket.

Enter your name or someone else’s! Three lucky contestants will be drawn from the pool of ticket holders and will have the chance to win the $50 prize!”

For those wanting to enter the pie baking contest, pies need to be at the Pipestone Valley for 9 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 5. There will be a cash prize of $25 each for Best Cream Pie, Best Fruit Pie, and a Blue Ribbon for the Best Overall Pie. All pies will be auctioned off once the winners are determined.

Artist Jason Sylvestre, a cartoonist and graphic artist, will be present.

He is the illustrator for, Carson Demmans’ bestsellers “You Might Be From Saskatchewan If” and “Strange Saskatchewan.” Sylvestre will have copies of these books for sale and you can stop by his tent for a free caricature portrait compliments of Treehouse Speech Therapy on both Friday and Saturday.

They will have a “People Mover” on site to assist with any mobility issues and the HandiVan will be available – for more information contact Sherry Wight at (306)577-5274.

Cost to attend the rodeo ground activities

is $5 for adults, $3 for kids six to 12-years-old, and kids five and under are free. Or a weekend pass for two adults and three kids is $30.

On Sunday, Aug. 6, there will be Church in the Park with a potluck meal to follow and all

denominations welcome – bring food and a lawn chair. Freewill offering and/or non-perishable food items for the Food Bank will be collected. If it turns out to be a rainy day it will be moved to the Free Methodist Church.

Summertime sports quiz: Edmonton’s big decision 1. Plummeting the furthest in the United States this summer has been: — Donald Trump’s approval ratings — The value of the U.S. dollar — Colin Kaepernick’s chances to be signed by an NFL team.

2. Unidentified flying objects in and around New York this summer sports time-out with have been determined Bruce Penton to be: — Kites flown by kids in Central Park — Weather balloons from the U.S. Meteorological headquarters — Baseballs blasted into outer space by Yanks’ rookie sensation Aaron Judge 3. The saddest observation in Ontario this summer has been: — Homeless people scrounging for handouts on Yonge Street in Toronto — House prices skyrocketing all over the province — The Blue Jays trying to reach .500 in the American League East 4. The City of Edmonton’s biggest decision this year is about: — The future of the High Level Bridge streetcar extension — How to deal with traffic delays during summer construction season — The design of the Connor McDavid statue 5. The Canadian Football League governors appointed Randy Ambrosie as commissioner because: — His resume was outstanding — His nine-year CFL career made him an easy choice by governors — He was the only person to apply.

6. Residents of Saskatchewan have had it up to here with: — Grasshoppers

— Aggressive Mounties and their eagerness to issue speeding tickets — Riders’ GM and coach Chris Jones 7. Mathematicians expressed amazement at: — The number of stars in the universe, as determined by the International Astronomical Centre — The number of grains of sand in the Sahara Desert, as estimated by the International Association of Geologists — The numbers in Steph Curry’s new contract with the Warriors.

8. Hardly touched at all this summer in Southern California: — Junk food, by health-conscious citizens — Illegal drugs, by former hippies who are now senior citizens — Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw, by would-be MLB hitters 9. P.K. Subban plans to emulate: — The swift and smooth skating style of Paul Coffey — The public relations skills of Wayne Gretzky — The wild and colourful clothing styles of Don Cherry • Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com, on Twitter: “Panthers released Michael Oher today.

Was he blindsided by the news?”

• Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle, on MLB’s research into the increase this season of home runs: “Commissioner Rob Manfred said, “Our research suggests that the home run actually is a popular play in baseball. My only quibble with that statement is it proves that MLB is wasting money on research. Coming soon: MLB research suggests that churros outsell spinach-on-a-stick.”

• NOT SportsCenter.com, on Twitter: “BREAKING: Cowboys sign new free agent RB O.J. Simpson. Says Jerry Jones: ‘He’s got exactly the kind of character we look for in a Dallas Cowboy.’

• NOTSportsCenter on Twitter: “BREAKING: The Browns have hired former White House press secretary Sean Spicer to tell fans daily the team isn’t nearly as bad as they think.”

• Scott Ostler again: “With Chris Paul and James Harden sharing a backcourt, every Rock-

ets game will be a flopping clinic. There will be times when one of them takes a shot and both of them fall down.”

• Brad Rock in the Deseret News: “Jimmer Fredette made 92 of 100 three-point attempts at a charity event. Warriors coach Steve Kerr is thinking: ‘Nice. But I have six of those guys.’”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “In Omaha, there was a pro-am with pros and amateurs competing side by side last week. Sort of like SEC football.”

• Dickson again: “O.J. Simpson has been paroled from prison. This after several years were shaved from his sentence for time served with the Buffalo Bills.”

• One more from Dickson: “Julia ‘Hurricane’ Hawkins, 101, set an age group world record in the 100-metre dash. The runner-up in the race is expected to finish a week from Thursday.”

• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “My friend’s dog has taken to barking at Dodgers reliever Kenley Jansen. It all started when an announcer said Jenson went three months without allowing a walk.”

• Headline at SportsPickle.com: “Lavar Ball finalizes 3-year, 3-son deal to date Kardashians.”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Ex-pitcher Livan Hernandez has filed for bankruptcy, claiming he has less than $50,000 to show for the $53 million he earned in a 17-year career. Alert statisticians immediately credited him with a blown savings.”

• Perry again: “The perfect golfing foursome for a par-5 hole? Donald Driver, Chip Kelly, J.J. Putz and Eddie the Eagle.”

• St. Cloud State goaltender Taylor Crosby, younger sister of the Penguins superstar, in her women’s hockey bio: “Personal: Daughter of Troy and Trina Crosby of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia ...

In addition to to a day of “fun, fellowship and laughter,” golfers at White Bear Lake’s Shoot For the STARS Ladies Golf Tournament enjoyed a banquet which featured a new fundraiser – a wine pull. “We have 70 bottles of wine donated to us - of varying vintages and price ranges.

We’ve wrapped them all and sell them each for $20. But we’ve also added a $100 surprise in a few of the bottles. We’re always trying to add fun and value to what is a great day out for all women.”

Submitted by Edel Cowan

During these past weeks some of local folks attended either one or the other or both of the annual musical events (not sure if I have the correct names now or not) - The Dauphin Music Festival and/or Craven Musical Festival this year. I’m sure they enjoyed these music events by some of the stories I heard.

An update on the ham antenna – it is up on the pole and hubby has tried it out – he seems to be happy with the output it does – hallelujah.

Afternoon guests with Gray and Edel Cowan on July 17 for coffee were Larry and Linda Jackson of Regina, Joyce and Jackie George, Redvers.

Jim and Mary Boettcher attended the wedding of their grandson, Mike Morrow on July 22 at the Morrow farm near Carlyle. The other Boettcher family members also attended the wedding. Congratulations to the bride and groom, may you have a happily married life together.

Another hot week has gone by which saw much activity going on at the swimming pool.

We are so fortunate to have a pool in our little town, so do make sure to make good use of it.

It was also another hot weekend and folks are also making good use of their campsites at the dam over at the Moose Creek Regional Park.

We (Gray and I) did go to the dam on Saturday afternoon and enjoyed a half-day on the boat, despite the wind, with family (Tim, Shelly, Ainsley and Murray). The fishermen were lucky in their catches and everyone enjoyed a delicious meal, and later enjoyed a visit with other campers and friends who stopped by at the Cowan campsite.

We are on our last full week in July now, where

oh where does the time go? We could surely use some rain to help with the crops, most hayfields have been cut and made into bails, I do believe, so hopefully they can finish getting their bails made and then hauled in to storage for the winter use. Noticed some fields were turning color, especially the spring early crops, rye, winter wheat and barley, so before one knows it, it will be harvest time – just remember guys to be careful while out in the fields, around and one that big machinery.

Also coming up is the Austin Thersherman’s Reunion and many folks

from the area do take in this event.

It’s soon the Family Day long weekend coming up in August so make your final holiday plans and have a great day/weekend with your family before the harvest settles into full swing.

Please remember folks to keep me informed on your family happenings, either give me a call (306-443-2496), or text (306-485-8561) or an e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel.net), I do appreciate hearing from you, one way or the other.

Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and Take care.

Marjorie O’Malley In the early morning hours of Saturday, July 15, 2017, Marjorie left this earth to join her one true love, her husband, Sgt. James O’Malley, in heaven. She was born October 20, 1929 to Peter and Anne Pasaluko in Pine Falls, MB. She is survived by her children, Karen, Susan (Garry) and Michael (Sara); her grandchildren, Erin, Alison (Todd), Patrick, Zoe and James; great-grandchildren, Asmara, Maddex, Paxton and Aaron; her sisters, Patricia, Dorothy and Christine and sister-in-law, Alice. She was predeceased by her brother, Larry. Marjorie graduated from the St. Boniface School of Nursing as a registered nurse in 1950. She enjoyed nursing in various hospitals in Manitoba and later in Redvers, SK. She married James on June 1, 1957 and became the wife of an RCMP member. They were posted to five communities in Manitoba until Jim’s accidental death in the line of duty in 1970. Marjorie and her children moved to Redvers, SK where she lived until she moved to Saskatoon, SK in 2009. She was honoured to receive the Second Man Award in 2013 recognizing the contribution of an RCMP wife in rural postings.

Marjorie was very involved with the Catholic Women’s League and was a member for 60 years. She was a devoted mother and shouldered the responsibility of raising her children alone with great dignity and pride. Family and friends were always important to her and there are many fond memories of time spent together. Marjorie cherished her close relationship with her sisters. She was an avid gardener and enjoyed playing bridge. In her later years she looked forward to visits from family and friends. She will be deeply missed by everyone who knew her. The Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, July 24, 2017 at Holy Spirit Roman Catholic Church (114 Kingsmere Place) in Saskatoon. The Rite of Committal was held at the RCMP Cemetery at Depot in Regina at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 25. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society.

SaskPower invested $886 million in the province’s electricity system over the past year, as it continues to meet the challenge of sustaining an aging power grid while meeting growing demand and environmental commitments.

SaskPower’s 2016-17 Annual Report was tabled with Saskatchewan Legislative Assembly’s Clerks Office today, reporting an operating income of $46 million.

“Our province has been called on to meet many challenges over the last year, and we are succeeding,” Minister Responsible for SaskPower Gordon Wyant said. “We are investing in the core services that matter to the people of our province to keep Saskatchewan strong. The province recognizes the importance of SaskPower’s investment to sustain our growth and maintain our electrical infrastructure.”

While infrastructure investment is crucial and ongoing, SaskPower has also implemented a number of measures to improve processes, work more efficiently and reduce costs.

Over the past two years, SaskPower has saved $73 million in budgeted operating, maintenance and administration spending.

“Moving forward, we will continue to invest in the health of our electricity system,” SaskPower President and CEO Mike Marsh said. “We will continue to find ways to work more efficiently and effectively so we can fulfill our mission of ensuring reliable, sus-

• It was 19th-century English writer Sir Arthur Helps who made the following sage observation: “Reading is sometimes an ingenious device for avoiding thought.”

• In the state of Texas, it’s against the law to milk a cow that’s not your own.

• You might be surprised to learn that when Walt Disney first released the animated film “Sleeping Beauty,” in 1959, it was a box-office flop. However, the success of the various re-releases — in 1970, 1979, 1986, 1995 — have made it one of the most successful films released in 1959, second only to “Ben-Hur.” The domestic total gross amounts to $623 million (when adjusted for the inflation of ticket prices), which puts “Sleeping Beauty” in the top-40 films of all time.

• You might be surprised to learn that hyenas are more closely related to cats than to dogs.

• Those who study such things say that men who tuck in their shirts on a regular basis — and 49 percent of American men do tuck — tend to be happier than non-tuckers. For starters, they earn, on average, 19 percent more. They’re also 22 percent more likely to have an optimistic outlook, are 10 percent more likely to feel that they’re outgoing, and are more likely to report that they date often.

• Marsupials and platypuses are the only mammals that don’t have belly buttons. A marsupial loses its umbilical cord before emerging its mother’s pouch, so a scar never forms. Platypuses are hatched and never have an umbilical cord to begin with. *** Thought for the Day: “The great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never gets used up. That is possible for him who never argues and strives with men and facts, but in all experience relies upon himself, and looks for the ultimate cause of things in himself.” — Albert Schweitzer © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

The Arcola Daycare visited the Post Office in town on Thursday, July 20, where they got to make a post card for their family, put a postage stamp on, and “cancel” the stamp by putting an ink stamp over top of the postage stamp in order to not only make the post card, but mail it to their family themselves.

The Arcola Daycare enjoyed a trip to the Post Office where they learned all about mail and how the process of mailing something works.
