We shall remember them

Staff photo by Kelly Running

Moose Mountain Air Cadets, Legion members, and RCMP members participated in the colour party during the Remembrance Day ceremonies. calls being named, while words of remembrance were also said for those that have served in the Korean War, on peace keeping missions with the United Nations, and our most recent soldiers who have been involved in the Middle East.

Numerous wreaths were laid in honour of these men and women who have given their lives to serving Canada.

Rev. Sung Shim with the Carlyle United Church officiated this year, speaking about the importance of remembrance and striving to be good to each other.

Jesse Twietmeyer trumpeted “The Last Post” and “The Reveille.” “The Last Post” is played to signify the end of a military day, but it symbolizes

more than just that, it is played at military funerals to indicate a soldier has been laid to rest and is also played in honour of all soldiers on Remembrance Day. Following two-minutes of silence “The Reveille” is played. This song is to wake soldiers beginning their day in military culture, but at Remembrance Day it once again signifies more: “At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we shall remember them.”

During the playing of “The Last Post” by Jesse Twietmeyer, a member of the Moose Mountain Air Cadets holds the Legion flag at half mast in honour of Canadian Veterans.

Gordon F. Kells High School hosted a Remembrance Day Ceremony on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 11 a.m. for the high school and Carlyle Elementary School students to partake in.

In the high school gymnasium, the bright red poppies from the Legion’s Poppy Campaign, stood out against the sea of colours students were wearing, seated for the ceremony.

Students of G.F.K. put together a very nice program which included a performance by the senior band and a short drama focused on Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae who penned the famous poem “In Flanders Fields” 100 years ago.

This famous poem was recited by seven of the G.F.K. grade 12 students. Once finished, Armand McArthur attended and recited a translated Nakota version of “In Flanders Fields” to honour all First Nation Veterans, including two of his uncles who gave their lives in World War II: “Flanders makoce en waxpexpena oboga.

In attendance were Royal Canadian Legion members from the Carlyle Branch, three members of the Carlyle detachment of the RCMP, members of the Moose Mountain Air Cadets, and three individuals serving in the Canadian Armed Forces including Cpl. Young, Cpl. Doncaster, and Cpl. Quiere.

One of these members, Cpl. Young, said, “The sacrifices made by Canadians in these conflicts has kept our country strong and free. We join to see the world, to have a secure future for ourselves and our families, and of course, to serve our country. We have chosen to wear a uniform and we are willing to die for our country. We have said that above all else, our family our friends, our possessions that we are willing to put the safety and security of Canada ahead of our own. In the Canadian Armed Forces we call that ‘Service Before Self.’”

Jesse Twietmeyer performed “The Last Post” and “The Rouse” for the two-minutes of silence.

#97R: Racer Riley Raynard’s inspiration and determination Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Lampman’s Riley Raynard is no stranger to successfully surmounting challenges. Since being diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy at age four, the 18-year-old started driving his first hobby stock car at 14, won his first trophy at 16, became a fixture at racing competitions in Manor, Estevan and Minot, N.D., travelled to Indianapolis, Ind. to pick up Speedway Illustrated magazine’s prestigious Ken Schrader Real Racer Award, and this year, travelled to the IMCA Super Nationals, where he competed alongside 700 other cars and won a feature (race), a rarity for a first-timer.

Racer #97R’s most recent challenge was tackling his first public speaking event at Arcola School on Oct. 21, as part of the school’s Education Week programming.

“They asked me to come last year,” says Raynard, who was accompanied by his parents-and former race car drivers- Devin and Wendy. “But I wasn’t ready and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do it. I’m glad I did. It just helps people understand what (Duchenne muscular dystrophy) is.”

Speaking to the school’s staff and the entire student body, Raynard’s presentation, ‘Making Every Moment Count’ began with input from his mother, Wendy, who explained that Duchenne MD “is a disease that

causes the muscles in your body to get weaker and weaker and eventually stop working, including the heart and lungs.”

“Riley was born with it. It’s not contagious; it’s genetic. And I, as his mom, am the carrier, and only boys get it.”

“People with this disease have bodies that don’t produce enough dystrophin, which is kind of like the glue that holds things together,” she added.

“Riley was born in 1997 and walked and talked at a normal age.

In 2001, at the age of four, he was diagnosed with MD. But he played baseball and soccer and was involved in Cub Scouts. The effects were gradual, and Riley walked as long as he could-and he ended up walking on his tiptoes; that’s what (the disease does) - but at 14, he began using a wheelchair.”

“He takes meds and does a lot of stretching which helps to prolong (the strength of) his muscles,” adds Wendy.

“But despite this challenge, he was determined not to let this disease slow him down, and when Riley got his driver’s licence, he bought a van with hand controls and a lift. And his dad was a racer, so he bought him a race car when he was 14 and he’s been racing ever since.”

“He likes anything with a motor,” she laughs. “And not much slows him

Team Raynard Racing consists of Riley Raynard of Lampman, along with his parents Devin and Wendy. Both parents have raced cars, and during his short career, Riley has already made his mark, competing at Manor’s Eagle Motorsports, Estevan Motor Speedway, Minot’s Nodak Motor Speedway and most recently, the ICMA Super Nationals in Boone, Iowa. Number 97R especially relishes a race against his dad, Devin. “He had a faster car than me, but I still won,” he smiles. “Seriously, though, I have a lot of people that support me through everything-especially my parents.”

Staff photo by Lynne Bell

Eighteen-year-old race car driver Riley Raynard of Lampman spoke to the entire student body at Arcola School about ‘Making Every Moment Count.’ At the post-talk Q and A, Raynard unflinchingly answered questions from staff and students about his racing career and living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a genetic, degenerative disease. After his talk, #97R met with students and signed autographs. Arcola School’s Judy Naylen told Raynard: “We learned a lot and we sure admire your strength and determination.” down. He just continually surprises me with his strength. He’s so determined and stubborn.”

Since his career began - at the age of 14 - Riley has regularly raced at the Estevan Motor Speedway and often appears at Manor’s Eagle Motorsports and Nodak Motor Speedway in Minot.

Most recently, he was 2015’s runner-up for points in Estevan.

This year, he was a first-time competitor at the IMCA Super Nationals in Boone, Iowa, where he competed alongside 700 other racers and won a feature race-a rarity for a novice at the event.

“Going to the Super Nationals was one of my dreams come true,” says Riley. “One of the best things was that I was the only car in my class to come from Saskatchewan. There were 141 cars in my class and I finished 67th in points.”

“I won a race there, too. And they say it’s not often someone racing there for the first time does that.”

“It was a 15-hour drive to get down there, but it was totally worth it.”

Riley achieved another racing milestone south of the border in 2014, when he, his family, and close friend and fellow racer, Leevi Runge of Lampman travelled to Indianapolis where Raynard was awarded the prestigious Ken Schraeder Real Racer Award from Speedway Illustrated magazine.

Riley came out on top in a field of over 60 nominees as the award’s recipient, which “annually recognizes those who do more for the sport than get the most points.”

“It was for someone in racing who

had heart and determination in the sport and who has overcome a lot of obstacles,” says Riley, who also raises money for the Muscular Dystrophy Society, via Laps for MD. “People nominate you for the award and you don’t have to win races; it’s about your determination.”

“It was really exciting to be there and to be there with my family and my buddy that always helps me. Without my family, my friends and my sponsors, I wouldn’t be here racing.”

Riley acknowledges there have been obstacles throughout his racing career. “There were crashes on the way. I had a bad wreck this year, but we managed to fix the car.”

“With my first car, I crashed a lot,” he says. “Probably close to 10 crashes. But you get better as you move on and you start not to hit people.”

“I use hand controls for the brakes and I still use my feet for the gas, but as they get weaker and weaker, we’ll have to figure something else out.”

“When I first got the diagnosis, I was kind of shocked, but I had to move on and just accept it, because that’s life,” he says. “I started using a wheelchair when I was about 13 or 14.

I tried to walk as long as I could, but it was just too hard. I was walking on my tippytoes all the time.”

Currently, Riley races a Chevy Monte Carlo body with a 350 horsepower engine.

“I want to race for the rest of my live,” he told his audience. “Go for your dreams. Life is too short - Nobody can tell you what you can’t do.”

The Sounds of Swing: Maryfield Lions host Big Band fundraiser Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

The sounds of swing were featured as the Maryfield and District Lions Club hosted a big band-themed fundraiser on Friday, Nov. 13 at the community’s auditorium, featuring Lions member Mark Humphries and His Orchestra.

The concert was a near sellout as over 300 attendees from the area-including concert-goers from Maryfield, Wawota, Redvers, Stoughton, Estevan and Elkhorn, Manitoba-filled the Maryfield Auditorum as Humphries and his 18-member group of muscians entertained the crowd with 1940s-style swing. The group, which has been seven months in the making, includes men and women from ages 20 to over 70; and their performance in Maryfield was their first. ` Although a final total was not available at press time, Swallow says, “I would say we easily made $5,000, which will all go funding community projects.”

Humphries-originally from the U.K.- and a member of the Maryfield Lions Club, told The Observer: “We’re grateful for the Lions to give us a chance and we’re excited to help the Lions raise money,” adding, “There are no swing bands outside Winnipeg and Regina, so we’re a unique item to the area and we’re not something you see often.”

Lions member and past president Barb Swallow says, “Our motto is ‘We Serve.’”

“We try to help out with a wide variety of things in the community,” she adding that the local Lions use a three-pronged approach to charitable giving.

“Groups might come to us to help raise funds,” says Swallow. “For example, we helped raise funds for the digital projector in the Maryfield Auditorium, and we also helped raise funds for the cement floor in the rink.

Those are two examples of bigger projects we’ve been involved in.”

“We’ve also helped fund Telehealth for the clinic in town and we’ve contributed to organizations like the fire department and as an outside project, we contributed $1,000 to the Redvers Lions, which helped to fund the fuel wagon for STARS (air ambulance).”

“We also are involved in service,” she says. “Locally, Lions members always work at the food booth at the rink during the Maryfield Fair, which is held every July. We also work food booths at auctions, and we’re also often asked to cater to wedding suppers, another thing we do.”

“And in the past, we’ve contributed money to people who have lost their homes to fire,” adds Swallow. “More recently, we contributed money to the Fred Hill family in the Mair area, whose home was affected by flooding.”

“On the funding side of things, we have assisted people in our area with medical expenses. The costs of something like a transplant are huge.

We ask for medical receipts and it’s often expenses like accomodation that can really add up.”

The club-which is celebrating its 47th year-also puts out a monthly newsletter. Hard copies are delivered to mailboxes in Maryfield and Fairlight, as well as the Manitoba communities of Cromer and Kola. The newsletter can also be

The Maryfield District Lions hosted a big band extravaganza at the town’s auditorium. Lions member Mark Humphries and His Orchestra entertained attendees with his 18-member 1940s-style swing band. Proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit the local Lions who have supported-and continue to support-numerous area organizations, causes and individuals in need during their nearly 50 years in Maryfield. accessed online at http://www. maryfieldsaskatchewan.com.

The Maryfield Lions currently have a local membership of “about 20 members,” says Swallow. “We also offer an online membership option.

Our members come from Maryfield, Fairlight and Mair, and we also have members from just inside the Manitoba border.”

“One of our online members is from Prince Albert, and she came down to help with our Big Band fundraiser. Online membership is an option for people who want to be part of a Lions Club, but who can’t attend our monthly meetings.”

Swallow says the club’s latest fundraiser was a success.

“I really do want to thank people for coming out and supporting us,” she says. “And I think that the Big Band sound is very popular with the generation who grew up with that music. Mark is such a wonderful entertainer and the whole thing was just excellent.”

“It takes a very dedicated club to put something like this together.

I would like to thank our Liobs Club members for all their hard work,” says Swallow.

“We did this to bring money back into the community and I think we accomplished that.”

Doulas: women who serve Kelly Running Observer Staff

There are numerous misconceptions and misunderstandings surrounding doulas and their services offered. They are often confused with midwives or are considered naturopaths who push for natural births, but in reality a doula offers support and information helping you realize the best birthing plan for you.

So, what is a doula?

The word, doula, is an ancient Greek term which translates to “a woman who serves.” Today, however, the term points to two types of educated professionals. The first is a birth doula who provides physical, emotional, and informational support before, during, and just after birth. The second is a postpartum doula who offers emotional and practical support during the postpartum period.

The Cochrane Library conducted a study in 2011 which focused on 21 controlled studies of over 15,000 women who had doula care compared to those who did not have continuous support throughout the birthing process. According to the study women were 34 percent less likely to rate their childbirth experience as being negative.

The Observer had the opportunity to sit down with Jen Balfour, a local birth and postpartum doula, to discuss what a doula does and the common misconceptions society has surrounding them.

Balfour became a doula because of her own children, “I think that’s the case with many birth workers, they find themselves on this journey through their own birth or have supported a sister or loved one during theirs.”

Balfour became a doula because of the births of her own children, “I think that’s that case with many in this field. They find themselves on this journey through their own birth or having had to support a family member or friend through theirs.

When I found out I was expecting my first, I was terrified. I went on to have really great experiences and realized then just how much our culture perpetuates that fear of childbirth. There’s a quote out there that when you change the way you view birth, the way you birth will change and I couldn’t agree more.”

Learning more about what doulas do, Balfour found herself on a journey to become a trained doula; she is now both a birth and a postpartum doula.

As a birth doula, Balfour describes her services, which ultimately is to support the woman going through the birthing process and the family.

“The birthing process is an intimate and personal moment in someone’s life,” Balfour said.

It’s a moment that women will remember

for the rest of their lives and a doula is there as someone who supports women through labour and early postpartum period. A doula can help the woman and her partner prepare for birth by meeting with them prenatally. You discuss birth preferences and various options, practise comfort measures for labour and learn about the physiological process of childbirth.

On her website, www.jenbalfour.ca, she describes the birth doula as someone who “Provide[s] emotional support, physical comfort measures and an objective viewpoint, as well as remind you of the information you learned prenatally that will help you make your own informed decisions.”

A common misconception surrounding doulas is that they replace the woman’s partner, which is not the case: “A doula simply adds to their support and makes it possible for partners to participate at their comfort level. The husband or partner is then able to focus their love and attention on the mother, freeing them to be physically and emotionally present for the birth of their child, too.”

A birth doula does not offer medical advice or interprets medical results, provide second opinions, make decisions for people, and a doula does not answer or speak on your behalf when discussing the birthing plan.

The postpartum journey can be a difficult path to navigate for women and their newborns. In this situation a postpartum doula looks to support in a nurturing and non-judgemental way. Postpartum doulas help women through the transition period, they are there to discuss the newborn’s needs with, help facilitate bonding, and postpartum doulas aid in infant care to help a parent become confident in bathing, dressing, feeding (breast feeding or bottle feeding).

“That postpartum period is not a set time,” Balfour explained. “For some women they’ll keep a doula for three or four months, there’s not a set or defined amount of time. It’s for as long or as short a time as you need.”

“If a baby has siblings a doula can entertain them for a little while, so as to encourage uninterrupted bonding time between baby and mother.”

They also help with meal preparation and light housework such as laundry, running errands, and changing bedding.

A doula is there to assist the parents in learning how to care for their baby and do not provide child care without a parent at home, any major housekeeping, psychological counselling, or transportation of any family member.

“A baby is something new and someone saying you’re doing a good job can be so helpful,” Balfour stated.

Balfour says that when finding a birth doula or

Jen Balfour has recently completed her birth doula and postpartum doula courses. She spoke with The Observer explaining what this means. a postpartum doula that it is essential to go through an interview process with doulas to find the right one for you.

“Every doula is different and you want someone whose philosophy works with what you want,” Balfour explained. “The perfect doula for one person may not be the perfect doula for another.”

“An interview is highly recommended. It’s important to make sure you’re on the same page because it is a very intimate and personal moment in a person’s life.”

Balfour says locally there are organizations including Doulas of Regina, which she is a member of, at www.doulasofregina.com. In the immediate area there is Balfour, Alicia Beaulieu, Criston White with Bundle of Love Birth Services, and Randi Fingas. Their information can be found on Facebook: Southeast Saskatchewan Doulas.

“It’s very important to interview and we all really encourage each person to find the one that’s right for them,” Balfour explained. “There is no one doula, but a doula for every woman. And every woman deserves a doula.”

Quote of the Week . . .

“An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind”

- M. K. Ghandhi

A great season of vball

It was an amazing season of school volleyball, yes I’m in need of writing once again about my favourite sport, although in my defence it takes up a lot of my time whether I’m playing or coaching. When people ask me what I’ve been up to I usually just reply, “Oh, work and volleyball.” So bear with me for Kelly Running another volleyball column.

Observer Staff This year was my fourth coaching in Arcola – I had one with the junior boys and three now coaching the junior girls – and I like to think I’ve grown and become better at it, I firmly believe that you can always learn something new, so I’m always going to strive to become better.

Anyway, I feel as though this has been my most successful year as a coach yet and it’s because of the fantastic players I had this year. Although I put a fair amount of work into planning, organizing the year and growing players in a tactful way, it’s only if the players buy into what I’m doing.

I think this year they did and they grew a lot over the season. It was fantastic watching them make huge strides and become more confident in themselves. I remember taking them down to their first game against Oxbow I was warming up with one of the grade eight girls as I had an odd number on the team so stepped in. We had a tough time rallying, but by the later part of the season we had a tournament and I was rallying with the same girl, we were able to keep it going for numerous rounds.

I think she would have been my most improved player of the season.

However, they all made strides and became better players throughout the season.

One team we struggled with throughout the season was Oxbow and as we met them at home and away games and tournaments they would edge us out every time. A couple of weeks ago this changed and my girls dug deep beating them in two sets, it was a huge accomplishment because they were just out of reach until that game, it was fantastic.

They peaked at the right time in the season, it was very exciting. Then last week we ended up in Midale at a junior girls’ playoffs. The girls stepped it up again and it was literally the best I had seem them play all year. They held nothing back and fought hard out there making it to the final.

They had a tough three-set battle against Midale in the semi-final, but were able to come out with the win. It was an amazing game, the girls were doing things right and I couldn’t have been more proud.

The final was against Weyburn Junior High.

They were a very solid team, but the girls fought hard and although we weren’t able to win, I might have needed to do more mental training with them because I think they may have been nervous, after all I was nervous watching. I held my breath for the majority of the Midale and Weyburn games.

But the scores were close in both games. I couldn’t believe the strides they made over the year.

They improved immensely and I’m thankful for all of the compliments I received throughout the year about how the girls interact on the court with themselves as well. They were encouraging towards each other and cheered loudly when on the court or on the bench, they embraced what it is to be a team and they were a pleasure to coach.

Footings, beams and elephants Whether we are moving on foot, wheels or rails, going from one place to another will eventually take us across bodies of water or deep valleys and that often means the need for a bridge.

To traverse a small river, a great chasm or picturesque harbour, bridges are not only functional but quite often stunning in their design and statement.

Consider the Helix Bridge Shelley Luedtke in Singapore. It took two years to assemble the special stainless steel that makes it an architectural and engineering marvel. Or the Pont du Gard Aqueduct in France.

Built between 19 BC and 150 AD it is constructed entirely without mortar since the stones were cut with such exacting precision.

The design of a bridge is critical since it needs to span the required distance while carrying massive amounts of weight. No matter the challenge, those who conceive, draw and build these bridges have come up with some incredible solutions. LIke the Hangzhou Bay Bridge in China. It took 600 experts 9 years to design the 35 kilometre transoceanic marvel. Or the Nanpu Bridge in Shanghai where a spiral design was the answer to the need to save space. A member of the team explained, “When you can’t build out, build up.”

Those of us who aren’t engineers, architects, iron or construction workers don’t have the experience of being part of developing these magnificent structures. That’s a good thing. Not all of us have those aptitudes or abilities. Believe me, you wouldn’t want to set your little toe on a structure I designed. However, I can still be a bridge builder.

More than that…I need to be a bridge builder.

Our access to images and information from all parts of our globe allows us to see and hear the best and worst in those with whom we share this planet.

We are inspired at times; horrified at others. We sense that we have more in common than not, yet we seem more divided than ever. What do we do when we come across a great divide? We build a bridge.

Whether it involves reaching out to the neighbour we have never met, or sending aid to a country we know only by circumstance, we need to do it.

Perhaps now more than ever.

Bridges require footings, joints, parapets, piers, soffits, pile caps, beams, girders, abutments, decks, traffic barriers and more to do their job successfully. For us to be successful in building bridges we need trust, encouragement, respect, time, a willingness to listen, and a desire to give more of what we have with those who have so little. But perhaps most importantly, building successful bridges may require us to do things a little bit differently.

James Eads designed a bridge to cross the Mississippi River at St. Louis more than 140 years ago. Completed in 1874 it was the first time steel was used as a primary structural material and the first to be built using cantilever support methods.

It looked different and as a result people didn’t trust it. Unconvinced of its safety, the bridge sat unused. Then an idea struck. An elephant was sent on a stroll across the bridge since it was believed elephants had instincts that would keep them from setting foot on something that was unsafe. It worked. The bridge looked different--but it worked.

Perhaps some of the issues we face need just that--a different way of looking at things and therefore a different way of doing them. Some may judge. Others may scoff. But what we need are the ones willing to step out, be that test elephant, and show others what can be done.

In music, a bridge moves us from one section of a composition to another. In dentistry, it spans the space where teeth are missing. In our lives, the relationships we have with one another builds bridges between neighbourhoods, communities, cultures and nations; and fills in what is missing. It can make designers, inventors and builders out of all of us--if we want to see things change. So grab a pencil, a phone, a cup of coffee, or a cheque book; start a conversation, plan an event or use whatever other tools you possess and just start building. What may not look like the typical bridge may in fact be the one that gets us all moving in a good direction.

That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

The human cost of cheating Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

As I write this, headlines around the world include phrases like: “nuclear option” and “new global arms race”, and within certain news stories, the words “bribery”, “corruption”, “intimidation”, “scandal” and even “secret police” and “Interpol” turn up again and again.

Am I talking about a massive criminal undertaking or a spying scandal? Well, it depends on how you look at it.

A report released recently regarding a widespread state-sponsored doping scandal in Russia has rocked the world of elite (ahem) amateur sport and has raised the possibility of Russia and its athletes being banned from competing in international competition- an outcome which may even disallow the country from sending a team to the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio. The independent report investigating Russia’s (ahem again) alleged athletic enhancement program was commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), and its findings include the following allegations: secret police inside a key antidoping laboratory, hundreds of samples destroyed immediately before a key inspection by WADA, evidence of bribes and extortion, the intimidation of doping control officers within Russia, and the use of false identities to avoid testing.

All very Spy versus Spy, if you ask me.

Should Russia and its athletes be banned in an effort to clean up international competition?

Perhaps. I feel extremely unqualified to venture an opinion and more than a little cynical about doping in sports-and not only as it pertains to Russia.

However, I think anything that can bring back a modicum of fairness in competition and ease the ill-effects of cheating on athletes is a good thing.

At the Olympic-or any level of sport involving the athletic aristocracy-athletes are under enormous self-imposed pressure already. Then, add physical, psychological and financial pressure to the mix. Now, ask yourself if you’d say no to anything your country’s regime and/or leader required of you-especially if you didn’t come from a country like Canada.

I think a big part of the story here are the risks athletes take-physically, psychologically, and emotionally-when they ingest performance-enhancing substances and/or are compelled to cheat their way to the podium.

In the instance of doping, athletes often pay a long-term price regarding their physical and emotional health later in life, especially if they ingest steroids.

Athletes who compete cleanly suffer if they are robbed of their true potential if they must compete against chemically-enhanced competitors; while cheaters risk emotional consequences, that stay with them forever. Cyclist Tyler Hamilton who admitted cheating chemically as Lance Armstrong’s teammate wrote in his memoir, “The Secret Race”: “It’s difficult to tell the truth, but it feels good. I lied to my parents, my brother, my sister, my friends, my co-workers. But enough was enough. It took its toll. It was very difficult to hold in.”

For the most part, cheating athletes are the by-product of a corrupt system. And the Olympic movement has a duty to protect the health of athletes.

Whatever sanctions Russia receives or doesn’t receive as a result of this investigation, the human cost of cheating in competition should also be addressed.

The goal should include fair competition in the future as well as the well-being of athletes.

In truth, one can’t exist without the other.

Editor’s Note . . .

The views expressed in “Seeing things differently” are for discussion purposes and are not necessarily the views of the writers.

Russian athletics scandal, how do they proceed?

Kelly Running Observer Staff

Recently in the news it’s been brought to light that Russian athletes were caught by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). A report alleged that there was a collusion between athletes and the government, while alluding to the nature of taking performance enhancing drugs as common place amongst Russian athletes.

Athletes were banned from competing internationally and there was discussion about stripping medals from athletes found guilty of doping at Sochi. The issue arises then about stripping medals, do you take the medals and award them to the athletes who finished below those that have been found to have been doping? Should all Russian athletes be punished for what their fellow countrymen allegedly did in collusion with the government? Would any of them be innocent or would the government have gotten to them all?

It’s a difficult situation, and it begs the question of how far back the doping actually goes and do you punish everyone for something they might not have done.

Obviously the ones that took drugs are guilty and do not deserve their accolades, but Sochi was in 2014 and it seems like a doping scandal would be something that should be caught sooner than two years after the fact. You would think that the Internatal committee or WADA would have caught on sooner considering they are made up of multiple

nations, not just the host nation of the Olympics, in this case Sochi.

The government and the athletes are to fault, but on a higher level the people who are supposed to be regulating everything and making the Olympics into a fair playing field to showcase the best athletics in the world are to fault as well.

Repercussions are necessary, but most importantly fixing and ensuring the situation won’t develop again is most important. It’s disappointing that it happened in the first place, but it needs to be rectified in a way to stop the situation from developing again.

Although I agree medals should be stripped and redistributed to those that deserve them, it seems to me that the Olympics are very much ceremony oriented and receiving a medal now, two years later, doesn’t come with the same feeling of receiving it at the Olympics. Standing on the podium, watching as your flag is raised comes with a feeling that could never be recreated.

Additionally for honest athletes looking to compete for their country, how does it feel to now possibly be banned or have to compete as an independent athlete?

Part of being within the Olympics would come with representing your country and the pride you take in that. However, at the same time if the Olympic Committee would allow Russian athletes to participate as independent athletes it may allow the country to save some face after such a scandal.

Cougar Pee Wees hit the ice for new season

Bill Wyatt named Sask Baseball’s Senior Official of the Year

Darren Simmons Sports Contributor Well after some well earned time off from hockey the team is back in the rink. After some practice and a couple of exhibition games the Carlyle Cougars Pee Wee’s played their first two regular season games against Wawota, first in Carlyle where we came out with a victory (11 goals for Carlyle; Wawota 5 goals) and then in Wawota where we managed to squeak in a tie (8 goals).

Goal tending for the win was Zane Winter and battling to keep his team with a tie was Logan Romaniuk.

When the team was passing and digging we did very well, however, the team came out flat too many times to ensure a second victory.

Goals were spread out quite evenly with: Home: Carlyle (11) - Wawota (5) Galbraith (1) Chapman (2) Cyr (1) Arndt (2) Hagel (2) Hofos (2)

McArthur (1) Away: Carlyle (8) - Wawota (8) McArthur (2) Robertson (2) Galbraith (2) Cyr (2) Our next games will be in Estevan for a weekend tournament 2015/2016 Carlyle Peewee Cougars Players and Coaching Staff: 50 WINTER, Zane (Goalie) 26 ROMANIUK, Logan (Goalie) 27 ROBERTSON, Nate 28 ARDNT, Drayden 29 CHAPMAN, Caydence (Chappy) 32 STANDING READY, William 35 HAGEL, Kenna 37 CYR, Colby 39 HUMPHRIES, Cooper 40 GALBRAITH, Degan 45 SIMONS, Nathan 47 HOFOS, Coty 48 TURNER, Kaysha 49 MCARTHUR, Hayden Coach: Brian Hagel Asst Coach: Glen Hofos Manager: Troy Turner Trainer: Darren Simons

Atom Cougars start season with exhibition games

Umpire, mentor and volunteer Bill Wyatt was named 2015’s Sask Baseball’s Senior Official of the Year at the Baseball Canada Awards Banquet in Saskatoon on Saturday, Nov. 7. Wyatt received his award from the President of Saskatchewan Baseball, Terry Butler and also had the opportunity to meet the event’s guest speaker, Baseball Hall of Fame member and former Toronto Blue Jay, Roberto Alomar. Wyatt is not only an active volunteer umpire, but also founded Carlyle’s Junior Umpire program, which focuses on mentoring young umpires, some of whom have gone on to umpire at both the provincial and national level. “It’s very humbling,” says Wyatt of the honour.

“When they read what you’ve done in front of 300 people, it’s definitely very humbling.”

Another bad year for woeful Bombers

By Bruce Penton The 103rd Grey Cup Game will be played in Winnipeg this Sunday but there will be a Manitoba ingredient missing: the Blue Bombers. Again.

The woeful Bombers were not the worst team in the Canadian Football League in 2015 — that honour was handily taken by the Saskatchewan Roughriders — but no CFL franchise has had a worst run over the past 20 years than the Big Blue. This year: 5-13.

Ho hum.

The glory days of coach Bud Grant, quarterback Kenny Ploen and fullback Leo Lewis or even receiver Milt Stegall and QB Dieter Brock of more recent vintage are but a memory. The last Grey Cup celebration in Winnipeg was in 1990.

That’s 25 years ago.

With a league consisting of only nine teams, one would think the law of averages would work in the Bombers’ favour one year and send a Grey Cup their way.

The Big Bad Bombers of yesteryear are merely the Bad Bombers now, and Winnipeggers are losing their patience.

How bad has it been?

Other than a threeyear period in the early 2000s — when quarterback Khari Jones, Stegall and running back Charles Roberts provided Winnipeg with some offensive brilliance and plus-.500 seasons — it has been sad. Since the 2004 season, the Bombers have posted just three winning records. Bomber fans

got excited in 2014 when their team started 5-1, but it ended in familiar fashion — 7-11.

If you have a calculator handy, that’s a 2-10 record down the stretch.

Broadcaster Bob Irving of CJOB, who has called the team’s games on radio since the 1970s, tweeted optimism following the completion of the 2015 regular season: “Better days ahead Bomber fans. Trust me. Better days ahead.”

General Custer said something along those lines to his troops about 140 years ago in South Dakota. Trouble is, Custer and Co. didn’t get a second chance.

The Bombers have opportunities every year to find new weapons, new managerial brains, new approaches.

Irving is probably right.

Better days are ahead.

But Bomber fans are asking: How far ahead?

Arcola Optimists welcome Nashville duo ‘The Jeffersons’ for Country Christmas concerts Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Now that Arcola’s historic MacMurray Theatre is almost completely restored, the Arcola Optimist Club is hosting the community’s first-ever Country Christmas concert, starring Nashville recording artists, The Jeffersons.

The duo is made up of Canadian country star Lisa Brokop and her husband, singersongwriter, Paul Jefferson, who will be performing in Arcola at The Mac on Friday, Dec. 4 and Saturday, Dec. 5.

Glen Lawson of the Arcola Optimists says, “We’ve got a little bit more to do on the outside of the theatre and the last major thing is the siding. We’ve got a few things to do on the inside, but we’re excited to bring A Country Christmas to The Mac.” Billed as one of Music Row’s “most exciting and creative new acts,” The Jeffersons have released a self-titled album as well as an EP of

Christmas standards.

Brokop grew up in Surrey, B.C., and says, “All I wanted to do from the time I was seven or eight years old was to go to Nashville and be a country singing star.”

By 1995, she was signed to Garth Brooks’s label Capitol Nashville and released her album ‘Every Little Girl’s Dream.’

Eventually, she recorded with record labels Columbia Nashville and later with Curb Records Nashville; and in spite of these career upheavals, Brokop remains grateful. “Fortunately, I’ve been able to stay here in Nashville and go back to Canada to record and tour. It’s allowed me to pay the bills and have a wonderful fan base.”

Brokop has won Independent Female Artist of the Year as well as Independent Song of the year at the Canadian Country Music Awards for co-writing and recording her hit ‘Something Undeniable.’

Jefferson, a San Francisco native, made his way to Music City

after attending the University of California at Berkeley, where he graudated with a degree in bio-engineering and also earned a commercial pilot’s licence. The undefeated tennis champ-who attended college via a tennis scholarship-saw his sports career end when he suffered an accident with a table saw.

“I cut my finger off with a table saw,” he says. Even though his hand was surgically repaired, Jefferson says his tennis game “was never the same,” and the son of a guitar teacher rekindled his passion for music, eventually portraying Hank Williams in the play, ‘Lonesome Highway.’

“I spent years listening to Hank’s voice,” he says.

Jefferson signed with A&M records in Nashville and also writes songs for other artists, among them, ‘That’s as Close as I’ll Get to Loving You’ which became a hot for singer Aaron Tippin.

Lawson says the couple’s upcoming dates in Arcola are part of the Arcola Optimist’s continuing efforts to support community causes by bringing quality entertainment to this corner of the

“We want to bring all kinds of entertainment to the area,” he says. “We’re talking about possibly doing another concert in April. And in addition to bringing kids’ movies to The Mac, we’re bringing in more mainstream movies for adults. If a film’s been in wide release for two weeks, we can get it.”

“We’ve been really fortunate.” adds Lawson. “We’ve spent some time and money on the theatre and it’s really paid off.”

“As long as people come out and support these events, we’ll keep doing them.”

A Country Christmas by The Jeffersons is at Arcola’s MacMurray Theatre Friday, Dec.4 and

Saturday, Dec. 5, with performances at 8 p.m. both nights. Tickets are $20 each and are available in Arcola at the Arcola Pharmacy or at Chapman’s Grocery or in Carlyle at Michael’s Coffee Shop and Bakery. Tickets can also be purchased from any Optimist Club member or by calling Blake at 577-9904 or Glen at 577-3250.

BE READY FOR WINTER! Emergency kits for cars: A real must

The mere mention of winter driving brings to mind blizzard conditions, cars in ditches and unexpected engine problems.

Preparing an emergency kit is a great way to ensure your peace of mind when heading out to tackle those icy roads. Make sure you keep a complete winter-driving emergency kit in your car trunk.

It should contain the following items: • A shovel, scraper and snow brush • Bottled water and non-perishable foods (energy bars) • Matches stored in a watertight package • Booster cables • Blankets • Flares • A warm change of clothes for all family members • Windshield washer fluid • Salt, sand or non-clumping cat litter • A tow cable

• A knife (to cut a jammed seat belt) • A fire extinguisher designed for gasoline and oil fires • An up-to-date and illustrated first-aid manual • A whistle (to signal your location in low-visibility conditions) • A candle in a deep metal can • A hand-crank flashlight or battery-powered flashlight with extra batteries • A first-aid kit containing antiseptic swabs, compresses, gloves, bandages, scissors, safety pins and tweezers.

This long list may seem rather extreme right now, but if a breakdown or accident happens, you’ll be glad you were so well organized.

And don’t forget that you can also use this emergency kit to help other people who are in trouble.

Don’t get stuck in the cold! Be prepared for Old Man Winter...

Don’t forget to check your fluids!

Did you know?

To avoid collisions on snow-covered highways, you need to calculate the equivalent of six seconds of distance between your vehicle and the one in front. It’s a preventive measure that could save lives.

Spraying your car windows with a mixture of one-part white vinegar to three parts water will keep them from frosting up.

Use this simple trick to give your scraper a break.

Skidding on snow-covered roads is often caused by excessive speed or locked wheels from braking too quickly. For safety’s sake, adjust your driving techniques during the winter months and go easy on the pedal.

should consider changing your tires, as they’ll inevitably continue to wear during the coming weeks and months.

Your tires may also have potentially dangerous cracks over their entire surface.

These are caused by dryness from exposure to the sun or by the presence of foreign objects (metal, rocks, broken glass). Cracks should always be taken seriously.

Have your winter tires installed by a professional in order to avoid premature wear.

A specialist will ensure that your tires are inflated to the manufacturer’s recommendations and that they are balanced and rotated. A good set of climate suitable tires will take you a long way in safety!

1. Waiting until the first snowfall to think about having your winter tires put on is definitely not a good idea. Not only do you risk having an accident while driving without the proper tires, but it’ll also be hard to get a timely appointment at the garage.

2. Desperately trying to start a frozen engine by turning the key for too long can cause engine damage. Any single attempt to turn over your engine should not exceed 20 seconds. If it doesn’t start, wait two minutes before trying again.

3. Installing only two winter tires out of four is a risky way to try and save money — not to mention that it’s illegal in certain provinces. You may not be aware of just how dangerous this can be. In winter driving, the difference in traction between winter and summer tires can cause a drastic skid and an accident.

4. Keeping a spare container of windshield washer fluid in your vehicle is always a good idea. On a highway, when your windshield is being continually sprayed with wet, dirty snow from other vehicles, running out of washer fluid greatly reduces your visibility and your safety.

5. When their car lock is frozen, many people become impatient and use too much force when turning the key, which can end up breaking. To avoid this doubly frustrating situation, get yourself an alcohol-based de-icer and keep it in your purse or backpack.

Winter is practically on our doorstep, so it’s time to prepare your car for the rigorous freezing temperatures. The first step is to make sure your vehicle’s fluids are topped off and are of wintergrade quality. Listed below are the four major automotive fluids you should have checked by a service professional this fall.

1. ENGINE OIL Experts recommend having your engine oil changed at the same time that you have your winter tires put on. Ideally, synthetic oil should be used because its composition improves engine performance while reducing fuel consumption.

2. BRAKE OIL During the winter, brakes are put to the test on a regular basis. Check the level of your brake fluid in the fall, before you start driving on icy roads. If it’s below the recommended amount, it’s probably because the brake pads are worn. However, if it’s very low, it could be a sign of a leak in the braking system.

3. TRANSMISSION OIL In freezing temperatures, old transmission oil tends to lose its fluidity. Transmission oil that’s too thick can cause problems, especially when starting the engine. If necessary, have it replaced in order to reduce the risk of problems occurring and to prevent wear on mechanical components.

4. ANTIFREEZE It’s essential that you have your antifreeze checked before winter arrives. If levels are low, your vehicle’s cooling system could freeze up completely during spells of extreme cold.

Many drivers put themselves at risk using worn car tires during the winter months.

To avoid skids, flats and crashes on snowy roads, you should learn how to detect signs of tire wear.

All winter tires come with tread-wear indicators. Those are the small bands ofrubber between the tread blocks of a tire that become increasingly visible as the tire wears.

For a tire to be safe and provide optimal mobility, the tread depth should never fall below four mm. A depth gauge, a small tool sold for a few dollars at hardware stores, can be used to get an accurate measurement.

If the result is at the minimum acceptable measurement, you

HUNTING FEATURE

It’s Hunting Season

ADVENTURE Going hunting and fishing is an exhilarating experience.

These sporting activities allow enthusiasts to sharpen their senses and improve their physical skills. Moreover, taking your hunt gives an indescribable sense of pride after hours of preparation and hard work.

Who wants to get their photo taken with a piece of meat on a Styrofoam tray they bought at the grocery store?

White-Tails, Moose, Bear and More Saskatchewan is the mecca of white-tailed deer hunting, a dream location which produces larger bucks than any other jurisdiction.

White-tailed deer hunting is accessible in various locations around the province on both public and privately owned land.

There are virtually no areas without some population of white-tails, and different areas offer a variety of hunting experiences.

If you plan to hunt from a tree stand, the forest fringe areas are ideal. If you are looking for more of a stalk, the parkland region of central Saskatchewan offers exciting challenges.

How to Purchase a Hunting License There are three ways to purchase a hunting license: 1) Online through your personal computer any time 2) Through private issuers, Ministry of Environment and select Provincial Park Offices 3) By phone at 1-855-848-4773 (8 a.m. - 9 p.m.)

What should be in a hunter’s backpack?

One of the most important pieces of equipment for hunters is a well-packed backpack or shoulder bag. Loaded with a few select essentials, it should be taken every time you go hunting. Be sure to choose a pack that is comfortable, weatherproof, and noiseless (doesn’t

make swooshing sounds as you walk). Waterproof camouflage fabric is preferable but not essential. The extras you pack may depend on the distance you have to cover between your vehicle and your camp, but some articles should always stay in the pack.

Here is a basic list of the items to be included: • a small survival kit (sold • a multi-purpose tool with in big box stores, the size a blade and small saw; of a tin of sardines); • a survival blanket; • a small first-aid kit; • a reliable source of fire; • rope; • a whistle; • brass wire (for building a • a compass with a map of shelter or a snare); the area; • an orange garbage bag; • a GPS with spare • a water bottle; batteries; • trail marking tape.

• a flashlight; If the weather is cold, bring along a small thermos with a hot drink, and don’t forget a few energy bars or a snack. This pack should be with you every time you step out into the bush.

Think of it not as your suitcase, but as your survival kit; you should always have with you the basics you’d need to stay warm and protected if you ever lost your way or got injured and couldn’t walk out. Every time you go hunting, tell someone where you are going and when you plan to be back. Ensure that you contact this person in case of delay, either by cell or satellite phone or with the new satellite messenger technology, called “SPOT”. It is also recommended that hunters complete a first aid and survival course before venturing into the wilderness.

Happy hunting!

FINDING THE RIGHT RIDE QUICK TIPS FOR YOUR NEXT VEHICLE PURCHASE On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the most painful) how would you rate your last car buying experience? We hear all the time about how people would rather get their teeth pulled at the Dentist versus buying a vehicle...Ouch! Well here are some tips on how to make your next vehicle purchase a little less painful!

#1 – CHOOSING THE RIGHT VEHICLE...FOR YOU!

-

Don’t let the Salesman or Manager push you into a new vehicle that you don’t want just because they have it on their lot. We can pull new inventory from virtually every dealership across Canada. Why should you settle for anything less than what YOU want?

-

Read reviews online about the vehicle you’re interested in, ask around with friends and family about how they like theirs and about their experience with the dealership you are dealing with. Technology, Social Media in particular, makes it easy to gather that information so you can make a well informed decision.

-

Determine your budget and STICK TO IT! Don’t be pressured into paying more than you’re comfortable with.

#2 – WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU’RE AT THE DEALERSHIP

-

Perform an initial inspection on the vehicle, make sure it has what you are looking for. This is especially true when purchasing a pre-owned vehicle because we will be doing the same inspection review on your potential trade in.

-

Ask about financing, extended service contracts and insurance coverage. It’s important to know your options.

A lot of people don’t realize that the dealership offers the same rates as your lending institution and we set up the pre-authorized payments to come right out of your account automatically. It literally takes 10 minutes to collect some general information. It’s quick, easy and doesn’t require taking any time off work because we can do it over the phone.

-

Make sure you ask lots of questions about Customer Service. What is the dealerships labor rate? What does the dealer do for you when your vehicle is in for service? Do they offer a courtesy vehicle? Or do they just shuttle you around town? Or worse yet, make you rent a vehicle if yours is going to be laid up for a couple of days.

#3 – NEGOTIATING

-

WE EXPECT YOU TO SHOP OUR NUMBER! You will find that by simply stating you’re shopping at 2 other dealers before getting a quote from us, you will save a lot of time and energy in the negotiation process.

-

Always ask what the dealership fees are. Some dealers out there are getting crazy with their fees, always ask what your closing costs are. If they happen to change when you go to sign the papers, call them on it!

These are a few quick tips on what to do when you purchase your next vehicle. At Woodworth Dodge, the vast majority of our clientele is repeat/referral which tells you that we take care of our valued customers on a daily basis.

You’re more than a Sale to us, we’re not after breaking volume records or having to sell X amount of vehicles every month because if we buy into that high pressure philosophy, ultimately the Customer loses and we don’t want that. Remember, at Woodworth Dodge, we genuinely make it worth your drive.

Second Chance Thrift Store holds grand opening Submitted This past weekend saw a flurry of activity at Second Chance Thrift Store on Main Street in Carlyle as they hosted their grand opening event. The store, which features a boutique-style offering of gently-used clothing, housewares, jewelry, shoes, books, games, toys and home decor offered everything for sale at 50% off.

Door prizes were given away both Friday and Saturday, and cake and refreshments were included in the celebration as well as a presentation outling the mission of Choose Life Ministry, which owns and operates thrift stores-one located in Estevan and one in Carlyle.

Choose Life Ministry is a nonprofit organization which seeks to help young women who are struggling with life-controlling issues such as drug and alcohol abuse, depression, self-harm, eating

disorders, the effects of abuse and unplanned pregnancy. The organization is in the process of providing a facility where women ages 18-29 can come for help and healing. A home is currently being renovated in the R.M. of Argyle which plans to be operational by the fall of 2016. The program will be a minimum of six months in duration and will be free of charge.

Ministry Director Shelley Boyes said, “Second Chance Thrift Store is privileged to be serving Carlyle and the surrounding communities and is pleased by the positive response they have received. We look forward to our next big event which will coincide with the Dickens Festival.”

For more information about Choose Life Ministry or Second Chance Thrift Stores, visit the website at www.chooselifeministry.ca, call (306)-485-7590 or follow them on Facebook.

Alida News Submitted by Edel Cowan

Sincere sympathy is extended to Brian (Margaret) Peet and Cindy (Mark) Beriault on the death of their father Robert (Bob) Peet on November 10, 2015 at the age of 91 in Weyburn. Condolences are also extended to his wife Joyce and to all other family members as well. A private family gathering will take place at a later date.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers that anyone wishing to make a donation in Bob’s memory is to do so to the Alida Rink Project Fund payable to the Village of Alida - P.O. Box 6, Alida SK, S0C 0B0.

Shelly Cowan, Gray, Edel Cowan, Ken and Diane Potapinski attended the Remembrance Day Service on Tuesday, November 10 held at Redvers School. The service was well done by students and staff and much appreciated by those in attendance.

On Wednesday, November 11 there were others who attended the Remembrance Day Service in Carnduff.

We shall remember them!

Yvonne Dzuba, Weyburn visited with Glennis Peterson on November 12-13 and attended the Lions Club senior supper.

Jean McClung, Redvers was accompanied by friends Dot Girard and Marion Fuller to Alida on November 12 in order to attend the Lions senior supper and to see her granddaughter Sara receive her grade 10 academic award.

Dave Desautels, Penticton, BC accompanied his dad, Maurice of Carlyle to

Alida where they visited with family members and also attended the Lions senior supper.

There was a very good crowd of approximately 65 who attended the senior’s supper at Alida Hall on Thursday, November 12 which was hosted by the Alida Lions Club.

There were guests who attended from Carnduff, Carlyle, Weyburn, Penticton BC, Redvers, and of course Alida.

Everyone enjoyed the excellent food and the visiting among ‘oldtyme’ friends. A job well done fellas and appreciated – hope we see you again next year.

OBITUARIES

milestones

Merle George Chapman April 5, 1931 - November 7, 2015

Every life is a story.

There are milestones that we can’t wait to share, while there are others that we wish we didn’t have to.

These stages of life are an undeniable part of the human journey, and we invite you to share yours with us in our weekly Life’s Milestones.

Are you celebrating an anniversary or birth, or you’d like to announce your engagement? Is your youngest child graduating, or perhaps a colleague is retiring? Has a loved one passed away, or would you like to remember one in some special way?

CONTACT US TO ADVERTISE YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT IN NEXT WEEK’S ISSUE.

WEDDINGS Lanktree-Carew The parents of Clarke Lanktree-Dave and Terry of Vulcan, Alberta as well as the parents of Katie Carew-Paul and Marilyn, originally from Cornwall, England but currently of Cochrane, Alberta - are pleased to announce the marriage of Clarke and Katie at Cochrane, Alberta on September 27/2015.

The newlywed couple currently reside at Airdrie, Alberta.

OBITUARIES Robert Armstrong Peet Robert Armstrong Peet, late of Weyburn, SK passed away November 10, 2015, at the age of 91 years.

Robert was predeceased by his parents: John and Allis Peet; five sisters and two brothers.

He is survived by his loving wife of 66 years Joyce; son Brian Robert (Margaret) Peet; daughter Deborah Dorothy (Mark) Pickard; daughter Cynthia Elizabeth (Mark) Beriault; son John Elwood (Bev) Peet; son Kevin Stanley Peet; daughter Dorothy Jo (Stuart) Cairns; 15 grandchildren; 17 great grandchildren; 2 brothers in British Columbia; many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

Robert will be remembered by many people. He served in multiple clubs and committees. While being a full time farmer he enjoyed whatever free time he had fishing, reading, camping, playing cards, and going to happy hour. He will be sadly missed.

A Private Family Gathering will take place at a later date.

Granddaughter Patti-Lynn: I don’t remember this one particular day, but I remember the man.

It was a warm day in August, a few days after grandma and grandpa rolled in with their camper van as they did every fall. They would have brought cases of BC peaches with them on their journey from Kelowna and they would stay to lend a hand with harvest. On this day I was either pestering my mom to trim my nails or maybe mom was pestering me to trim them up. Grandpa Bob would have said, “bring that here and let me see.” I am positive there was a lot of tickling that happened during this pedicure. But what a great person, he would have worked in the hot sun all day and still had time to give his granddaughter the attention and love she needed. I will remember this man for being a hard worker; he certainly played a part in building my morale fabric. Good things come to those who work hard! But on top of being a hard worker he always had time for family. He adored his grand kids. Rest in peace Grandpa Bob. Condolences from Simonne: “What a wonderful man he was. I have such good memories of him.

He was always there to help me out with my truck and trailer, as well as so many other things. Man could he pour a good rye and coke.” I am so sorry for you and your family’s loss. You will miss him.

Give your mom a big hug from me and tell her how much I love her. Hugs to you as well.

For family and friends so wishing donations in memory of Robert may be made to the Village of Alida, ATT: Alida Rink (Memory of Robert Pete), P.O. Box 6, Alida, SK, S0C 0B0.

Merle George Chapman passed away at the age of 84 years in Carlyle, Saskatchewan, on Saturday, November 7, 2015.

Merle is survived by his wife, Joan; children, Clay (Colleen), Connie (Robert) Matity, Leanne (Robert) Collins; siblings, Marj (Bud) Askin, Gary (Diane) Chapman, Rick (Marvin) Rolufs, Sandra (Mike) Evans; grandchildren, Kyle, Karla, Deanna (Taylor), Ryan (Kelsey), Leysa (Ian), Jonathan, Aimee-Lyn, Dana, Adam, Sherri, Jennifer; great-grandchildren, Elaina, Barrett; daughter-in-law, Bonnie. Predeceased by his son, David.

Merle completed grade 9 in Arcola School before deciding to go farming with his dad. He knew a time to dance as he fell in love and, on October 26, 1955 in the United Church Manse, married Joan Olive Askin.

They lived in Arcola at first and Merle drove a tractor back and forth to the farm. They moved to the Floyd Marsh farm in the fall of 1957. Merle rented this farm for 14 years before purchasing it.

Merle and Joan had a family of four – Clay Anthony, Constance Louise, David Merle and Leanne Joan. In 1971 an addition was built to his father’s house and Merle, Joan and family moved to the George Chapman farm.

Merle was a successful mixed farmer who turned his hand to everything from cattle and sheep to chickens and pigs. He always milked a cow and the family enjoyed fresh milk and cream as well as eggs. They were pretty much self-sufficient growing or raising their own meat and produce. One year he calved out between 50 and 60 head without losing a single calf! In addition to farming, he worked as a sheep sheerer and hail insurance adjustor.

Merle’s green thumb wasn’t just limited to his farming operation. He was an avid gardener and was notorious for his insistence that, no matter how long they might be, rows must be STRAIGHT. If you didn’t do it right the first time, you might find yourself doing it over again. In addition to eggs, he sold corn and other garden vegetables locally. He also enjoyed growing flowers and exhibited grain, vegetables and flowers at the local agricultural fair. Even this year he grew his own garden with Clay’s help.

As an accomplished farmer and gardener, he knew many times to plant as well as many times to reap.

Merle was a dedicated community servant. He was on the Wheatpool Board, the Arcola Town Council, the Agricultural Fair Board – he worked the gates for many years, member of the Oddfellows, active in the local seniors’ center. He was a generous community supporter. As his children grew up, he supported their activities, coaching and umping ball. A dedicated family man, Merle was always present for graduations, convocations, baptisms, weddings, sporting events. When the grandchildren were little, he told them stories, making them up as he went along. Although he just had a grade 9 education, his math skills were the envy of those who had to reach for a pen and paper or calculator.

Merle especially enjoyed holidays when all the family got together. He took his role as meat carver very seriously and woe betide anyone who tried to usurp the position!

Merle enjoyed a variety of sports. He loved fishing and made several trips north to Jan Lake with friends and family. In his younger days he curled and worked as maintenance man for the local rink. He was an ardent supporter of the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Toronto Blue Jays, the Arcola-Kisbey Combines and the Saskatchewan Roughriders, not necessarily in that order. Clearly he was no fair weather fan and remained loyal no matter what. He held Roughrider season tickets for many years. He travelled many miles to watch the Arcola-Kisbey Combines play hockey.

In the fall of 1995, Merle and Joan bought a home in Arcola. After retiring they enjoyed travelling. They took some cruises, made some bus trips and thoroughly enjoyed meeting and making new friends wherever they went. He especially enjoyed the Panama Canal cruise and going through the locks.

Merle loved going to auctions, proudly bringing home many bargains that were just too good to resist, often to Joan’s dismay. He loved dogs and Clay’s dog Rudy recognized Grandpa’s truck and was always waiting for the dog treats that Merle carried just for him.

Throughout his life, Merle experienced many “times to laugh.” Merle was a dedicated coffee row member and went at least twice a day to keep up with local news. They visited many different casinos and even after Merle’s license was restricted, managed to get up to the Bear Claw occasionally.

Despite failing health this past year, Merle enjoyed three high points – his 84th birthday party on April 5th, Lisa’s wedding in Regina, and his and Joan’s Diamond anniversary in October – 60 years of marriage.

In addition to the cancer that he fought successfully for many years, Merle was afflicted with Parkinson’s and this affected his balance. In June, Merle nearly died with a heart attack, but he returned home and resumed his role as Joan’s caregiver which he considered to be his responsibility and privilege. He and Joan moved into Moose Mountain Lodge in Carlyle and he continued to care for her as long as possible. As his own health declined, his frustration was not just with his own failing strength, but with his inability to look after Joan. The prospect of death did not worry him, but not being here to take care of Joan agitated and worried him greatly. His last days were shadowed because of this, but in the end, Merle left us peacefully. It’s particularly hard for us to leave this world when we feel that we have unfinished business. There is no doubt that life will be even more difficult for Joan without her lifelong companion and closest friend. But cancer is a relentless opponent and it makes no concessions.

Merle lived a long, very full life. As a farmer and gardener he knew all about planting and nurturing seeds so that they mature, produce and died. Only then can the crop be harvested. Plants must die to bring forth seed for next year’s crop. He has achieved that final “time for peace.”

THANK YOU A special thanks to the Allan Blair Cancer Clinic, Arcola Home Care, Moose Mountain Lodge, Orsted Funeral Home in Carlyle, Reverend David Koshy and Reverend Michelle Moore, the United Church Ladies for the lunch at Prairie Place Hall, and all of our family and friends.

There was the usual program, the Act of Remembering, the Roll of Honour and the laying of wreaths. After that the public were invited to share a meal and the presentation of the Legion Awards.

As this was the 90th year since the Legion was formed pins were presented to our veterans, Al Sweeting, Nick Wyporowich, Bud Pleckham( all were in WW II)and Ken Colborn who was in the Korean Conflict.

Morley Hamilton received a 25 year pin and Scott Haines was presented with a pin of appreciation for all of his help with the fund raising. Dustin Schill was the recipient of both the Poppy Fund Bursary of $500.00 and the Legion Scholarship of $500.00. The afternoon concluded with an entertaining program performed by Vincent Murphy. He is a professor, playwright and key note speaker from Regina. He performed a play he had written, “Tommy Goes To War”.
