Cornerstone’s ‘Coarse Acting’: four comedies in one Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Cornerstone Theatre Inc.’s ‘An Evening of Coarse Acting’ delivered three comedic performances within four short, satirical plays - a murder mystery set in 1930s England, a contemporary piece exploring the many sides of man, a family drama set in a British mining village and a nineteenth-century French farce involving infidelity among the upper classes. The entire production was under the direction of Lane and Colleen Easton.

“This year, we’re doing something a little bit different,” Lane previously told The Observer. “We have four coarse acting plays - just short one-act plays - in the coarse acting style, which basically follows the same style of murder mysteries that we do; but this will be a satire, so we’re spoofing on what we generally do.”

The Eastons credit Cornerstone’s Don Carter for finding scripts for the company - and Carter says: “I read scripts and I check a lot of performances out on YouTube. I saw these plays and I thought the whole idea of ‘coarse acting’ was funny and I hope our audiences do, too.”

Carter had no reason for concern, as the comedy was evident during each of the short plays.

Throughout the entire evening, a hockey stick remained on stage - a moving tribute to the Humboldt Broncos.

From Front page - Cornerstone Theatre Falling walls, tricky tables, beleagured prompters - and more demonstrated potential pitfalls for performers everywhere - and the Cornerstone crew’s comedic rendering drew laughs from their audiences. And in a touching tribute to the Humboldt Broncos, a hockey stick remained on stage throughout each of the performances.

In “Streuth” by Michael Green, the action takes place in 1930s England. The setting is the posh drawing room of D’Arcy Manor, where a classic - but comedic whodunit unfolds. The drawing room comedy’s cast: Don Carter (Introducer), Monte McNaughton (Inspector), Jesse Twietmeyer (Mr. Oliver D’Arcy), Wendy McNaughton (Mrs. Oliver D’Arcy), Bryanne Forcier (Hubert), Fred Perry (the Major), Craig Savill (James), Terry Field (Cook), Matt Gesell (the Vicar), Sandra Campbell (Prompter) and Kyle Bye (the Sargent). This ‘UpstairsDownstairs’ cast of

characters navigate the tale of a theatre company’s staging of a murder mystery that is full of mayhem and mishaps.

“Two Eggs” by Stephen Bittrich has Colleen Easton’s Jane meeting a neighbour with unnerving and amusing personality traits, as the four faces of Skip - Kiss Ass Skip, Depressed Skip, Cave Man Skip and Barry White Skip - are played

by Lane Easton, David Slykhuis, Matt Gesell and Monte McNaughton, respectively.

The action returns to England in Michael Green’s ‘A Collier’s Tuesday Tea.’ Cast members Deb Sorenson (Ida), David Slykhuis (Daniel), Bryanne Forcier (Victoria), Monte McNaughton (Albert), Craig Savill (Joe Clegghorn), Candy Bye (Marjorie), Matt Gesell (Lionel), Bertha Isleifson (PC Clement) and Jesse Twietmeyer (Jed Throttle) more than hold their own - and manage to keep straight faces - in this tale which featured an increasingly

tricky table.

The final play - ‘A Fish in Her Kettle’ by Michael Green - is a French farce filled with intrigue, infidelity, a French maid, misplaced pants and a group of minstrels. The cast - Don Carter (House Manager), Terri Field (Antionette), Monte McNaughton (Felix), Matt Gesell (Victor), David Slykhuis (Dr. Henri), Bertha Isleifson (Eugenie), Craig Savill (Captain Emile), Sandra Campbell (Mademoiselle Lucille), Jesse Twietmeyer (Count Otto), Wendy McNaughton (Cook), Candy Bye, Kyle Bye, Bryanne Forcier and Fred Perry (Minstrels) and Deb Sorenson (Prompter) - presented this classic French farce gone wrong.

In addition to the cast - who also acted as the stage crew - others involved in the production include: Shelley and David Slykhuis who donated their time to prepare a pre-play supper for appreciative audiences on Friday and

The cast of ‘A Collier’s Tuesday Tea’ treated theatregoers to a tale featuring a tricky table during Cornerstone Theatre Inc.’s “An Evening of Coarse Acting.”

The performance featured four comedic plays and was billed as “A series of plays where if something can go wrong - It will!”

Saturday, Doug Waldner (Lights and sound), Don Carter (Advertising and tickets), Marylin Carter (Poster, programs and billboard) Brenda Beaver (Gordon F. Kells High School)

and Fengche Flowers (Box Office).

Lane Easton says this year’s spring production is the result of the company’s growing cast. “We did four small plays this year

to accommodate more people,” he says. “A lot of people want to be involved with Cornerstone Theatre and they’re bringing new ideas and energy.”

“That’s exciting.”

Redvers and District Music Festival looking for committee members Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Redvers and District Music Festival was hosted from Monday, April 16, to Friday, April 20.

This is a feature in the community, which has been held for nearly 55 years – the first one being held in 1964 according to past president Leanne Poirier.

There are a mere seven people on the executive and they are looking for more.

“What is that adage?” Carroll Dyck asked rhetorically. “Many hands make light work.”

“We’re looking for more people to help,” Poirier said. “In any capacity. Even if people are just willing to do smaller jobs in the organization of the festival it would lighten the load. And if people are willing to join the board they’ll see what’s all needed and it’s not as scary as people think. You learn what’s needed and take on more responsibilities as you’re comfortable to.”

Both Dyck and Poirier agreed that over the years there’s been an increase in the number of surrounding communities that attend the Redvers and District Music Festival. Although, the band entries are balanced as the majority of those are entered from Redvers. So, it is truly a Redvers and District Music Festival.

“You don’t have to be in Redvers to help or be

on the committee,” Dyck – who is the band/music teacher at Redvers School, lives in Carlyle – explains.

Poirier added, “You don’t have to be in Redvers or have kids in the event, Amy [Poirier’s daughter] finished four years ago, but if you enjoy organizing events or see the importance of music in life then it’s something to maybe consider. And you don’t have to know how to play an instrument, that’s for the kids to do.”

So, why encourage youth to pick up an instrument and learn how to play?

“There’s so many adults who say they wish they wouldn’t have quit,” Poirier explained. “There’s always that hump that kids have to get over before they’re happy that they stuck with it; but, the festival encourages public speaking and allows them to work towards something.”

Dyck added, “There’s no doubt that kids who go in for solos, duets, and trios, I see a huge difference from the end of January to here in overall playing. It pushes them to the next level.”

Poirier continued, “Say for piano too, you need more than your recital to perfect a song, so the festival is a good goal to work towards. It’s always good to learn and be in front of a crowd. Their self confidence will improve and they’ll realize that being up in front of a crowd isn’t a big deal and be able to do it in other areas of their life. This is also a very supportive crowd for the kids too.”

Dyck and Poirier agreed that one of the main benefits of learning a music is that is a lifelong skill: “And who doesn’t like music?”

Music has also been shown to correspond to other skills like mathematics and activates different parts of the brain.

If interested in being a part of the Redvers and District Music Festival committee, Dyck and Poirier say, “It’s always good to have new ideas and enthusiasm for what we do.”

Dyck added, “I started with the festival in 1998 and there’s been little changes with the times, and change is good, but we don’t get those is we have the same people every time.”

The committee works a lot on their own as well meeting when necessary, but there is not a standing weekly or monthly meeting; which the ladies say is nice as peoples’ lives can be quite busy.

“It’s very worthwhile,” Poirier adds. “I’d hate to see it not be on. I’d hate to see the kids miss out; so we just keep chugging along.”

“We’d like to thank all of the businesses of Redvers, Carlyle, and surrounding communities for donations, selling our programs in stores, and their support. It’s also a typical small town and we have many people willing to help during the festival. We appreciate all of their help and they support us in many ways, but we are in need of people willing to join the committee.”

The members of the Bits & Pieces Quilt and Craft Club were on a mission, Monday, April 16.

Members Gail Brady, Cathy Brown, Lori Brown, Marion Biram, Anna Erick, Lauren Hume, Rita Kapell, Debbie Kirchofer, Cathy McDonell, Ida Scott, Wendy Rounce and Wendy Walters responded to a ‘Quilters Call to Action’ issued by the Saskatoon Modern Quilt Guild via Facebook.

The Saskatoon guild asked quilters to make quilts in the Humboldt Broncos’ team colours - green dark green, white, gold and black - which will be distributed to billet families, Broncos staff and board members, first responders (including RCMP members, EMTs and firefighters) and others impacted by the team’s tragic accident in the communities of Humboldt and Tisdale.

The members of Bits & Pieces responded by holding a marathon quilting bee on Monday, April 16 in the Carlyle United Church with the intention of completing 10 quilts in Broncos’ colors.

“We started at 2 p.m. and we’ll be here until dark - until every quilt is finished,” says Wendy Rounce.

“We all want to do what we can to show our support,” adds Wendy

Members of the Bits & Pieces Quilt and Craft club held a marathon quilting session, Monday, April 16 at the Carlyle United Church. The women started working at 2 p.m. making 10 quilts for those affected by the tragic bus accident involving the Humboldt Broncos hockey team and “will work till dark - until we’re finished,” says member Wendy Rounce.

Walters. “And I have to say that our group is grateful for the support of Tanya Robertson of Sew & Sews in Carlyle, who not only donated 3.25 metres of fabric to us for this project - she also donated 28 metres

of minky (a soft fabric used for quilt batting) to Humboldt.”

“Contributing in this way is one way - our way - of showing support for the people who are suffering as the result of this tragic accident,”

The Humboldt Broncos tragedy has made an impact on people far and wide.

Haus of Stitches has asked for anyone who quilts to aid in their objective of making a quilt for everyone on the bus, all of the staff, billets, and families affected. Locally many quilters have rallied to the request of Haus of Stitches.

Students of Arcola School, including members of the Midget hockey team, hold up two quilts that will be sent. Darlene Wright created the quilts to attempt to offer comfort to someone: “I think it’s a good gesture. I hope they can take a little comfort from them. Sew and Sews in Carlyle is sending some in, Mrs. [Cathy] Burton has also made some, and I was speaking with someone from Stoughton the other day – there’s a group there that made some and also fundraised to be able to make more.”

Let your light shine

By Linda Wegner A number of years ago I purchased a CD by a group called Freedom Singers; I’ve never stopped listening to or being blessed by, their music. One song in particular and one line in particular of a song titled Daystar, challenges me every time I hear it. It goes like this: “Let Your light shine through me in the night”.

At the risk of sounding despondent, I find our world is full of darkness these days. Between wars, chemical attacks, murders and cruelty, just to name a few, to read of or hear of good news becomes a ray of light in the midst of gloom. The song I referred to challenges us to be a source of encouragement by allowing God’s light to be seen in our everyday lives.

Here are a few ways I’ve thought of to lift spirits.

Watch for opportunities to help someone; whether we live in a small rural community or a large urban centre (or anywhere in between, for that matter) they exist. Check out opportunities through a local non-profit groups, churches or schools and you’ll find there are always needs to be met.

Polish up your smile and use it freely – I’ve

often been heartened to see the response from someone who at first appeared to be utterly downcast. Something as simple as a warm “hello” or a beam of sunshine in the form of a smile can work wonders in someone’s day. These are just a couple of suggestions but they’re a good start.

Solomon put it like this:

“The ways of right-living people glow with light; the longer they live, the brighter they shine.”

(4:18 MSG). Later on, these words are given: “The light of the righteous shines brightly.”

(13:9 NIV) “Give what you have, to someone it may be better than you dare to think.”

Quote of the Week...

“Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.”

- Oscar Wilde

Financial Focus Managing Your Money: Avoid the clawback

Seniors receive a variety of benefits and tax credits from the federal government that are not available to others, however some benefits are income-tested and can result in clawbacks. Old Age Security (OAS) payments and the Age Credit are two examples of benefits which can be clawed back without proper income planning.

OAS is a monthly benefit available to most Canadians age 65 or older.

You will be required to repay 15% of the amount by which your net income for 2017 – inclusive of your OAS benefit – exceeds $74,788. When your net income exceeds $121,071, your entire OAS benefit is clawed back. July 2017 to June 2018 payments are based on 2016 net income, while July 2018 to June 2019 payments will be based on 2017 net income.

Age Credit is a non-refundable tax credit available to Canadians age 65 or older at the end of the year.

For 2017, the maximum amount you can claim for

the Age Credit is $7,225.

This amount is reduced by 15% of your net income in excess of $36,430 and is reduced to $0 when your taxable income reaches $84,597. The value of the credit is calculated using the lowest federal tax rate of 15% multiplied by the amount claimed.

You can avoid OAS and Age Credit clawbacks by keeping your net income to the absolute minimum required to meet your needs.

Here are some strategies for doing just that: • Pension income splitting You can allocate up to 50% of “eligible pension income” – including payments from your Registered Pension Plan (RPP) (at any age) and Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) (at/after age 65) to your lower earning spouse, which usually reduces your family’s overall tax bill and clawbacks.

• Reduce the amount of income received as Canadian source dividends, since these amounts are

“grossed up” for the purposes of determining net income (although there is a dividend tax credit which will reduce the amount of tax paid, it does not reduce the amount of net income); • Withdraw the minimum from your RRIF Withdrawals from investments held within a RRIF are fully taxable, so consider withdrawing only the minimum each year. If you have a younger spouse, base your withdrawals on their age – this will produce a smaller minimum withdrawal.

• Invest in TFSAs Investments held within Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSA) generate tax-free investment income. TFSA withdrawals are not taxable, so do not result in clawbacks.

• Seek non-registered investments that offer preferential tax treatment Only 50% of realized capital gains are included in income, and equity investments often distribute less investment income than fixed income investments.

Less net income results in less of your income-tested

benefits being subject to clawbacks. You can avoid clawbacks, reduce your tax burden and preserve your wealth. But don’t run afoul of complex tax rules by using inappropriate strategies for you situation. Talk to your professional advisor first.

Live longer thanks to these tips Thanks to significantly reduced infant mortality rates, improved sanitary conditions, better nutrition and advances in medical science, human life expectancy has come a long way over the last few centuries.

Statistics Canada estimates that by 2031, the average life expectancy of a Canadian man will be 81.9 years and that of a Canadian woman, 86.

If you hope to become the next Jeanne Calment (a French woman who passed away at 122 years and 164 days old, setting the alltime record for human longevity) make sure you adopt these five healthy habits.

1. Eat well. A healthy diet is one of the best ways to promote longevity.

2. Get moving. Regular physical activity reduces your risk of obesity, a disease known to significantly shorten lifespans.

3. Take care of your brain. Learning the lyrics to a new song, reading

books and newspapers, and doing crossword puzzles are just a few ways you can stimulate your brain and help improve communications between your neurons.

4. Nurture your relationships. Research has shown that people with rich social lives tend to live

longer. Having a strong group of friends may even improve your body’s immune response.

5. Laugh. Laughter is good for your mood, and being in a good mood helps you live longer. Learn to appreciate the little things and keep a positive outlook on life.

A great season Over the past six years I’ve had a lot of fun coaching volleyball: school teams, being an assistant coach to club teams, and an assistant coach at the Sask Summer Games in Estevan a couple of years ago. It’s been a whirlwind, but I now have 13 seasons of Kelly Running coaching volleyball under my Observer Staff belt.

This particular season has been quite exciting for me. It was the first season that I took on a head-coaching gig for club volleyball. I have been in that role for the past six years for at Arcola School for junior teams; but, club volleyball is a little more competitive and I had always just been content being the assistant coach in that realm.

Heading into the season I had a vision for what I wanted to do; I’d encourage the multisport approach and attempt to make volleyball not too demanding on the kids, leave them wanting more; but, showing them skills, encouraging them in competition, and hoping they’d bring a little desire and drive. I think that desire and drive are key to doing well in a competitive situation.

This young group has been a blast to coach.

Although we only practiced once a week, they did have other things on the go like dance, curling, basketball, and more. The girls managed to go from not being ranked to 4th place at our first Sask Cup. By our second Sask Cup other teams started to come watch our games a little bit and the girls managed to win 4th at the second Sask Cup. To have not gained or lost any ground playing amongst the best of the province was huge… especially with one practice a week.

Other teams would be going at least two, maybe even three times a week. Then at the third Sask Cup the girls managed to work their way to the final where they lost to JCVC Crush, but a second place finish was huge.

At provincials they went in determined and finished fourth out of 37 teams in their age group in the province – a huge accomplishment. Also, the semi-final match against the team that went on to win gold we only lost in the third set by four points.

It’s been so much fun watching them grow and become better as the season progressed.

That’s the ideal coaching plan – to constantly improve throughout the season, which they absolutely did.

They developed a lot, but one of their biggest assets was their desire. They wanted to succeed and they made the most of the practices they did have working hard all season.

I’d like to thank all the parents for their support over the season; my assistant coaches Tracy Barsi, Eugene Brown, and Krista Light; and our team manager Della Dube. Most importantly though thank you to the girls for working so hard throughout!

It was a phenomenal year.

Taking time to know the narrative It can set up a funny scenario which is likely why sitcoms often put it to use. A character belongs to a book club and with the next meeting looming admits they have not read the book. So they either try to fake their way through by pretending they have read it, or they get a summary from My Outlook Shelley Luedtke someone who intentionally gives bad information, often with humorous consequences.

I was part of a small book club for several years and I loved it. It was good being nudged out of familiar genres and favourite authors to read something another member chose. Authors I may never have selected became “mustreads.” But for me the best part was the discussion. We all read the same book but often there were very different reactions.

One reader might look at dialogue and how conversation flowed to comment on how effectively the writer gave characters a voice in keeping with the time period or location of the book. Another might focus on sights, sounds and aromas and is most curious to see how an author establishes and maintains setting and atmosphere. Fully developed characters may make or break it for some readers, while for others it is all about plot because, after all, how good might a book be if it doesn’t have a series of twists to keep you interested. Of course the best books do all of these well which we quickly realize when we read one that is lacking in some crucial area. But get people together to talk about it and not only is the conversation interesting, it can sometimes elevate a book beyond our initial reactions.

One notable book my group selected failed to spark my interest. Long paragraphs of mundane descriptions of backstory were punctuated by very brief returns to the main plot points. I found myself simply scanning those long paragraphs looking for the next clue that we were back in the flow of the action.

I missed the story.

Until we gathered to discuss it and I was awakened to how crucial those descriptions were in bringing the characters to where they are in the present, and why. My impatience proved to be a hindrance by waiting for something to happen rather than taking time to grasp all that happened prior, which put the characters where they were now.

I sometimes wonder if we don’t do this with people. We neglect to take better note of those long descriptive passages--those important back stories--when it comes to each other; and especially when it comes to particular segments of society.

Like refugees. Who had lives filled with desires and ambitions until something drastic happened in the place they used to call home.

They now find themselves harboured in camps-or worse--wondering if an opportunity might open up for them. But wishing things were different and they could just go home.

Or the elderly. Do we see them as the fascinating people they have always been? Do we see them at all? They laid the foundations upon which our lives are built and they have much to share so we need to take time to listen to their stories, or simply sit and listen, or…simply sit with them…and recognize them for the interesting and unique individuals they are.

Or those dealing with substance issues, or those who have been abused, or incarcerated or anyone who has gotten out of step with what they wanted for their life and are working to find their way back. We need to take time to understand how much might have taken place prior in order for today to be what it is.

The long set-up to where anyone is now is part of the setting that makes the current plot points a reality. We need to take time with each other to get a sense of all that led to who we have become. There is so much more to any of us than just what is happening today. Before we rush to thinking we know anyone because of what we see, we need to recognize that an entire volume of background needs to be considered first. The words on the page are one part.

The story is the other. That’s my outlook.

Blue Jays ecstatic over great start

sports time-out with

Bruce Penton

There have been a handful of great stories in the first couple of weeks of the 2018 Major League Baseball season, but for Canadians, one of the best has to be the great start by the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Jays don’t have a Shohei Ohtani historically pitching and hitting; they don’t have a slugger with the booming bat and polarizing persona of Bryce Harper; they aren’t a true ‘surprise’ like the Mets and Angels, two teams who haven’t made the playoffs for ages but were playing close to .800 baseball in the first three weeks, nor are they playing near-perfect ball, as the Red Sox did by winning 17 of their first 19 games (thanks to an MVP-like start by Mookie Betts).

But Canadian baseball fans have the Jays to cheer for this April, something they had a hard time doing last year when Canada’s only MLB club got off to a horrendous start (2-11) — the hole being so deep they were basically eliminated from post-season contention before much of the snow was gone from Prairie ditches.

But hope springs eternal and this spring there is definitely hope.

How eternal it will be remains to be seen, but when the Blue Jays rattled off 13 wins in their first 19 games, their

.684 winning percentage was second-best in the American League. That’s playoff country, baby!

These aren’t the bombsaway days of yore, when Bautista, Encarnacion and Donaldson were belting homers all over North America. These Jays have one of the best pitching staffs in the league, with J.A. Happy, Aaron Sanchez, Marco Estrada, Jaime Garcia and Marcus Stroman giving the team a chance to win most days.

Mid-April stats showed the Blue Jays to be fourth among all MLB teams in home runs, with firstyear Jays Aledmys Díaz and Yangervis Solarte setting the pace with four each. It seems manager John Gibbons has a new hero every day — guys like Justin Smoak, with12 RBI in 19 games; and backup catcher Luke Maile batting. 476 in his first six games.

As a group, the Jays’ five starters match up with any team’s, and the future is solid. Toronto has two exciting youngsters — sluggers Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., — who may or may not jump to the big club this year. Both young stars are offspring of former big leaguers and are regarded as two of the brightest future stars in the game.

So while 2017 was one to forget for the Blue Jays, 2018 looks promising. And the next few years look even better.

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “If 5½foot Astros star Jose Altuve ever needs to do some injury rehab in the minors, we’ve found the perfect team to do it with: the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp.”

• Norman Chad of the Washington Post, with two of a number

of baseball’s ‘unwritten rules’: “Don’t be late to a road game when you are the leadoff hitter”; and “Don’t wear a batting glove to brunch.”

• Bob Molinaro of pilotonline.com (Hampton, Va.) “The mind boggles at the thought of 71-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ But with Tonya Harding also on the show, Kareem better watch out for his shins.”

• Reader Mike Parris, to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, on Harding and Abdul-Jabbar cracking this year’s “Dancing with the Stars” lineup: “This is the worst threat to Kareem’s knees since Bill Laimbeer.”

• Molinaro again: “Although 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster was charged with battery against a woman, forcefully attempting to stop the victim from reporting the assault and possession of an assault rifle, the Niners have decided for now not to cut him. After all, it’s not like he took a knee during the national anthem.”

• Randy Turner of the Winnipeg Free Press, on Twitter: “Over 15,000 will be at NHLJets game.

Up to 15,000 at street party. This could be the most Winnipeggers to

rally around one event that didn’t involve sandbags.”

• • Comedy writer Jim Barach: “Rob Gronkowski has bought a stake in his namesake, Derby horse “Gronk.”

Using that criteria, Tom Brady could buy into the back half of any horse.”

Dwight Perry again: “Because of a scheduling logjam, the telecast of Game 4 of the DevilsLightning playoff series got moved to the Golf Channel.

Disoriented broadcasters never did figure out whether Nikita Kucherov’s hockey stick was a sand wedge or a 9-iron.”

• Jim Barach again, after a woman declined to sing the national anthem at a Reno Aces minorleague baseball game because she couldn’t bring her gun: “Apparently they got her name off the wrong list of sopranos.”

• Nancy Armour of USA Today, on 24 MLB games postponed in the season’s first 19 days: “Baseball isn’t meant to be played in balaclavas and parkas, and the only time fans should need a blanket at the ballpark is when there’s a movie night under the stars.” Care to comment?

Cornerstone Theatre presents

“An Evening of Coarse Acting” Cornerstone cast member Sandra Campbell appears in character as one of the prompters during a comedic quartet of plays - “An Evening of Coarse Acting.” Proceeds from the Cornerstone Theatre Inc. production will help finance continuing upgrades to Carlyle Memorial Hall.

Carlyle’s Cornerstone Theatre Inc. treated audiences to “An Evening of Coarse Acting” - four short satirical plays - on April 20, 21 and 22. Here, the cast of ‘A Collier’s Tuesday Tea’ treat theatregoers to the tale of a tricky table.

Here, servants Felix (Monte McNaughton) and Antionette (Terri Field) ponder the action between two faithless couples in the French farce ‘A Fish in Her Kettle’ during Cornerstone Theatre Company’s “An Evening of Coarse Acting.” Throughout the production, a hockey stick remained on stage in honour of the Humboldt Broncos hockey team.

In ‘Two Eggs’, Colleen Easton’s Jane deals with four guys named Skip - played

by Monte McNaughton, David Slykhuis, Lane Easton and Matt Gesell. The Eastons - Lane and Colleen - also directed Cornerstone Theatre’s ‘An Evening of Coarse Acting.’

During ‘Streuth,’ the action takes place in the drawing room of D’Arcy Manor. Here, the Inspector (Monte McNaughton) and Oliver D’Arcy (Jesse Twietmeyer) take centre stage in the 1930’s comedy thriller.

Announcer Don Carter had his work cut out for him during Cornerstone Theatre Inc’s “An Evening of Coarse Acting.”

Billed as “A series of plays where if something can go wrong - it will!” - Carter’s commentary led the audience through an evening of theatrical mayhem and mishaps.

Boy,oh boy, when that sun finally had the warm temperatures to accompany it and a soft wind as well it sure did do away with a lot of the snow which was lying around. One only sees a little snow on the north side of an obstruction and in among the trees.

Maybe one will be thinking of the planting season coming up around the corner. You know, even if I hate to say it but a nice gentle rain would be great to wash away all

that winter dust, stuffiness and make things begin to green up so much faster. After all April showers bring May flowers. The little pussy willows and crocuses will soon be showing their faces, a sure sign of spring. Speaking of spring and the warmer weather – it also brings out the creatures and the birds are coming back in flocks – lots of crows, geese, ducks etc. – so nice to see them. Now it’s not always so pleasant to see those little black and white creatures out and about (unless at a fair distance away). You guessed it – Gray’s dear little pooch decided to investigate one of these creatures – he should NOT have done that.

Yup he got it – and did he ever SMELL. Poor little fellow, he rubbed and rolled himself in the snow, in the grass, sneezed and brought up his breakfast. Needless to say he had to stay outside for most of that day, until his master was able to make a trip to Redvers to purchase some “Skunk Off” from the vet. Great stuff it did help to mask the odor and make it so you could go around the dog without holding your nose.

Also Febreze helped to improve the quality of the air that we breathe in the house. Finally now, which is about two weeks later, one can stand to be near the dog unless of course he gets a little wet from rolling in what snow he can find around the yard. Oh the joys of animals and spring. Hope he never investigates another black and white animal.

I forgot to mention awhile back that most of the “snowbirds” and southern travellers have returned a back home to their summer home that is. It is nice to see you back around the area folks. Hope you had a great winter holiday and have brought spring back here to stay.

Just another reminder folks to please

Since 2006, OneChurch.ca has made mission trips to Mexico every two years.

This year, members from the Carlyle and Redvers campuses - as well as others who were interested - joined in the journey for February and March trips. Pictured is just one of the groups the OneChurch participants served - children who attended the group’s Kids’ Carnival. “Our gatherings with the kids include a feeding program, too,” says Jenny Halbgewachs. “Often, we’d provide a meal and a child would go away with it. We found out later that they were taking their meal - for one - home to share with their families.”

“We don’t think of the sun that way up here,” says Jenny. “But when people are gathered outside for school or church or any purpose, really -especially children - the heat can be unbearable and actually, dangerous. And in the evenings during part of the year, the temperatures can drop to zero degrees.”

“This year, the boys on our young people’s trip moved some fruit trees so they can be harvested for food,” she adds.

In addition to ministering to the practical needs of the people they serve, the OneChurch groups also hold and/ or assist with worship services, as well as holding ‘Kids’ Carnivals’ for children, which Pastor Louis compares to Vacation Bible School.

“Our gatherings with the kids always include a feeding program, too,” says Jenny. “Often, we’d provide a meal and a child would go away with it. We found out later that they were taking their meal - for one home to share with their families.”

“But the feeding program and our work with kids is an example of how we carry out our mission there,” explains Jenny. “We work directly with a couple in that part of Mexico who have a children’s ministry.

They decided what the program should be and we made it happen for them.”

“Everything is done in partnership,” says Pastor Louis. “We don’t just arrive there and take over. We minister to the physical and spiritual needs of the people there, but we try to do it in a way that is respectful and practical. Everything’s a partnership.”

When asked the couple say that participants in the trip often experience cultural and spiritual growth as a result of their experiences.

“When you get out of your cultural bubble, your eyes are opened,” says Jenny. “You are a blessing to people and they are a blessing to you. That radically changes you. Seeing people in utter poverty that have no fallback makes God - and our need to serve him - seem

real.”

“You gain great compassion for people and it’s also very humbling, because you realize it’s a matter of where you’re born.”

“People from our church - from both our Carlyle and Redvers campuses - come on these trips,” explains Pastor Louis. “But so do other people who aren’t church members; and we welcome them.”

“I just explain that it’s a Christian mission and if they’re okay with that, they’re welcome to come.”

“One of our participants from one of this year’s trips told me they weren’t sure about going on a trip like this with 26 other people they didn’t know. This person said: ‘I’ve been on warm destination holidays before - seven-day beach holidays - and after two days of working hard here, I’m more refreshed than I ever was on one of those holidays. Thank you, Louis. This is amazing!”

“We’re trying to fulfill the great commision that Jesus talked about,” says Pastor Louis. “And when you’re doing that spreading his love - you realize God is real and alive.”

Moose Mountain Lodge Activity Worker Jean Robinson says: “We’d like to thank all of our volunteers - and some of them are a dedicated core group who are here at least twice a week, every week. We are grateful to (pictured, l-r) Pat Hutt, Helen Kosior, Marie Slykhuis and Sister Lucille Courcelles for their help, which we really appreciate.”

Moose Mountain Lodge recognized volunteers at a tea on Thursday, April 19, with music by Forget’s Caragana Ramblers. Pictured is Recreation Coordinator Arial Andrychuk (left) and Activity Worker Jean Robinson (right). Andrychuk says:“This year, our theme is ‘Celebrating the Value of Volunteering.’ The very definition of ‘value’ is someone being held to deserve the importance, worth and usefulness of something. We are here today to tell all of our volunteers that your value at MML is significant.

We appreciate and acknowledge how important all volunteers are as wonderful helpers in our everyday work days - whether it’s just simply spending time with a single resident or with a group putting on events.

Every single one of you is truly valuable in our eyes.”
