Mock crash impacts students in Arcola

Photo by Kelly Running, Observer Staff

Grades 10 to 12 at Arcola School experienced a mock crash the morning of Aug. 29 as part of the Prevent Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth (P.A.R.T.Y.) program held. Students watched as emergency personnel responded to a mock motor vehicle collision and later attended sessions facilitated by EMS, RCMP, the Arcola Hospital, Addictions Services from Estevan, Hall’s Funeral Home, and an occupational therapist.

“Someone call 911! I lost my phone… I don’t know where my phone is,” a girl yells as Arcola grade 10 to 12 students exited Prairie Place Complex coming upon the mock collision scene.

The scene unfolding in front of them included the driver of a vehicle running around senselessly. She reveals she had been drinking, “I only had a couple,” and had been distracted for a moment, “I got a text and checked it, no one was there, and then I hit her.”

Laying on the ground, bicycle in disarray, is a girl whose friend is yelling at her to wake up. The friend is doing chest compressions as the one laying on the ground is not breathing and her heart has stopped.

Inside the vehicle are two passengers, they too had been drinking, but are now pinned in the vehicle.

A few minutes later, which seems like many minutes, the sirens can be heard in the distance, help is coming.

RCMP, EMS, and the Carlyle Fire Department pull up to the mock crash to

show the students a realistic example of what happens when you are involved in a serious collision.

EMS check out the driver, which RCMP then arrest. The girl laying on the ground is pronounced dead by EMS, her friend is unwilling to accept this, but RCMP are able to eventually get her away. The funeral home is later seen stopping to pick up the girl that had been hit by the car.

During this time the Carlyle Fire Department quickly works to get the passengers of the car out using the Jaws of Life, so EMS can transport them to the emergency room.

It was a quick glimpse into what can happen when you drive intoxicated or distracted and it was something the students say was impactful.

“I thought that the crash was handled in a very professional way by emergency services, and was a sobering example of what the consequences can be if you’re impaired or distracted while driving,” grade 12 student and S.A.D.D. member, Jordan Johnston explained.

While at the Arcola Hospital an emergency room situation was created. Here Carol Brown RN (pictured) and Rebecca White answered questions surrounding their work, showing students the different instruments they use while working in an emergency situation as they attempt to stabilize an individual before they are taken to Regina.

The rest of the day was filled with various sessions with local EMS, RCMP, RNs, Addiction Services, funeral home, and an occupational therapist.

Each one spoke of their personal experiences and shared what it’s like doing what they do. Though all were impactful, Hall Funeral Services enlisted the help of Auldene Craig, organizer of the day, to sit in as the mother of the young girl who was killed in the mock collision.

Craig emotionally answered the questions stating that a child should never go before their parent.

“The sessions were personal and informative since we could talk with the professionals that deal with each stage of an accident,” Johnston stated. “We were informed about how these tragic situations effect hundreds of people, how they are dealt with, and what we can do to be safe and prevent it from happening.”

Students also learned about statistics throughout the day. For people from one-year-olds to 44-year-olds injury is the leading cause of death. Seven of 10 deaths amongst 15 to 24-year-olds are injury related.

Alcohol was one of the largest contributing factors

Overall 90 percent of injuries are predictable and preventable.

“Injuries are not accidents,” Lorie Herchuk Norris, the South Saskatchewan Acquired Brain Injury Education and Prevention Coordinator, said upon presenting the stats.

The day wrapped up with Vanessa Kavalench, the attending presenter on Addictions Services, spoke about her brother, Clancy. Vanessa had never told his story before and the emotions were raw as she talked about the numerous times he got behind the wheel intoxicated, lucky to have lived. One day though, his luck ran out and Vanessa said it was a relief to discover he had not hurt anyone else when he rolled his vehicle. However, Clancy died in the incident, which left his family and friends to survive without their son, brother, uncle, or friend. He had many people who cared about him and they will all be affected by his death for the rest of their lives.

The Fiddle History of Canada draws crowd and celebrates fiddlers Kelly Running Observer Staff

Southeast Saskatchewan has developed a fiddling culture, which has been grown by Michele Amy of Forget. This past weekend showcased what her students are capable of as they performed a two act production, The Fiddle History of Canada.

The production was envisioned by Gordon Stobbe and follows the history of Canada through the point of view of the fiddle.

With Cornerstone Theatre helping put the showcase on through acting out historical moments in time, and were followed by numerous tunes from that period.

Doug Waldner, with Cornerstone Theatre, helped to re-write the script for the occasion.

The project was brought to the community through Amy and her fiddle studio. Through her Cornerstone Theatre contacts they decided on a way to make the showcase, which has travelled across Canada to different areas, a uniquely Carlyle and area production.

The production was dedicated in memory of Fred Easton, the man who taught Amy how to play and is the grandfather of fiddle music in the southeast, as well as Father Banga, who had been very supportive of the fiddling culture being developed in the area.

The performances took place on Thursday, April 30, and Friday to Sunday, May 1-3. A total of 54 young fiddlers put on a spectacular show with the help of eight musicians in the pit band, five actors, and nine backstage assistants.

There was a total of 360 costumes used and 84 props included in order to bring forth the final show.

The students amazed the audience as they took to the stage playing hours of music.

They further impressed the crowd as they took the 35 songs and would go from one into another without missing a beat.

As one patron was heard saying, “That’s a lot of notes!� He was thoroughly impressed by the showcase and all of the songs the youth knew.

Fiddlers participated from Alameda, Arcola, Carlyle, Carnduff, Corning, Estevan, Forget, Stoughton, Lampman, Oxbow,

Redvers, and Manor.

Ages ranged as well from very young to adult fiddlers bringing together numerous fiddling enthusiasts.

Fiddling in Canada comes with a unique history, which developed through a mosaic of cultures coming together and sharing their music.

French, English, Scottish, Irish, Eastern European, and First Nations music all met in Canada to form a truly unique sound, which resonates through today’s Canadian fiddlers.

In fact the Maritimes have preserved old tunes which have been lost in the old countries

and people travel from Ireland and Scotland to relearn this music.

A great amount of work was put into the production, which was very evident. It was a spectacular showing that many said could have been held in places like the Centre of the Arts in Regina.

Everyone in attendance was wowed by the showcase and thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the production.

Earlier in the week a few performers travelled to different schools in the area to showcase what they’ve been working on. Check www.carlyleobserver. com for videos of two songs from the showcase.

Downtown Carlyle

This year, members of Carlyle’s Bits and Pieces Quilt Club have created 32 quilts that will be donated to area causes and individuals. The club has already presented six quilts- intended for the use of patients receiving treatment- to the dialysis unit at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Estevan, as well as one quilt to Moose Mountain Lodge for use in palliative care, and two to the Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge, to be raffled off. The lovingly-crafted quilts are made in full, child and baby sizes, and some are specially-sized for use by people in wheelchairs. In the past, the 15-year-old club has also donated quilts to the Regina Salvation Army and the Red Cross, and will be doing so again this year.

From high school to Vintage Hollywood: GFK invites you to second annual Arts Gala May 14 Lynne Bell Observer Staff

GFK students will transform the halls of Carlyle’s high school into old-school Hollywood, as they host their second annual Arts Gala-and you’re invited!

Arts education teacher Carly Broberg says, “ Our SLT (Student Leadership Team) is running the gala and everyone is welcome to attend. Our theme this year is ‘Vintage Hollywood’, and we’d like to invite the community. There is no admission charge, instead, it’s a silver collection. Everything we raise will go to our Art Programs, here at the school.”

Last year, the event raised $1,000 and Broberg says the money enabled the school to purchase “equipment for the art room, more acrylic paint, and lots of canvases.”

“What the abundance of art supplies gave us was peace of mind,” says Broberg. “Students could finish their assignments and some of them continue to paint at home, even after they’re finished the semester. They have that option this year, because we have those extra supplies.”

Along with paintings and coloured pencil work on canvas, the gala will also showcase the culinary creations, musical and dramatic talent, and sewing

by GFK students from grades seven to 12.

ANNUAL MEETING, 2015 Legion Hall, Souris Ave., Arcola, Sk

Home economics teacher Lynda Biberdorf says her students will displaying “Quilts they’ve made, and their sewing. We’re opening it up to include anything the students have sewn-quilts, but also bags, table runners. Basically, if it’s something they’ve sewn and they want it in the show, we’re not limiting them.”

Attendees will not only be treated to a display of students’ talent with galleries and the talent show, they can also buy and bid during the event.

“We’re having a bake sale, with themed baking by the SLT kids,” says Broberg. “We also have some great silent auction items and door prizes starting to come in, and we’re so grateful for the contributions from individuals and businesses that support us.”

“Last year, our school secretary, Audrey Rasmussen donated a beautiful homemade quilt, and local artists, individuals, and businesses from the community really got behind us with contributions for our silent auction. Because of them, we had a great silent auction and their donations really made a difference.”

“This year and last year, Payton Littlechief’s grandparents have very geneously donated two Ken Lonechild paintings to our silent auction.”

“We’re looking forward to our second event, and we welcome donations for our silent auction,” says Broberg. “And we’re looking forward to showcasing our students’ talent to the community.”

The GFK Vintage Hollywood Arts Gala will be held at Carlyle’s Gordon F. Kells High School, Thursday, May 14 from 7-9 p.m. Admission is silver collection. More more information, or to make a donation, contact Carly Broberg at 453-2500.

Quote of the Week . . .

“An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind” - M. K. Ghandhi

Tea cup or a cup of tea

e were living in Alberta at the time. My mom, sister and I had moved there from Saskatchewan following the sudden death of my father. It was our first Mother’s Day in a different city--different province--and different life without our dad, and my sister and I wanted to do all we could to give mom a Shelley Luedtke noteworthy celebration.

We pooled our studentlimiting resources and decided upon a small, pretty array of flowers nestled in a delicate teacup. Plans were made to pick up our chosen arrangement the following Saturday morning and take it home to surprise mom.

Enter a multi-million dollar corporation.

Our plans were dwarfed--literally--by a beautiful and generous gesture on the part of a huge company. The province’s large telecommunications corporation was holding a Mother’s Day draw in honour of its customers-and our mom won! Her prize? A massive, and I do mean massive, bouquet of flowers arriving the Saturday of Mother’s Day weekend. It was as wide as it was tall and contained dozens upon dozens of glorious blossoms. The sheer size of the bouquet was stunning--as was the beautiful aroma of the fresh flowers. It was a gift without parallel.

Enter two teenage girls…and our diminutive teacup with the little pink flowers.

Our mom did exactly what you would expect a good mom to do. She expressed total and deep appreciation for the flowers we had given her.

But it wasn’t an act. It was heartfelt and genuine.

Whereas the large bouquet was an architectural wonder and explosion of colour, she remarked that our gift demonstrated how well we knew she would like the pretty pink teacup adorned with the pink ribbons cradling the lovely pink blossoms. Pink--her favourite colour.

My mom was younger than I am now when she was widowed. She had two teenagers to raise, a career to resume and a move to make. The older I become the more I am in awe of what she was able to do while coping with shock, grief and facing a future she didn’t expect. I don’t know the multitude of emotions she might have been experiencing. I can only imagine the idea of unexpectedly becoming a single parent must have made that Mother’s Day surreal. How many other mothers had to face that day as bravely as she did? How many more will have to do so this weekend?

Whispered plans and hushed giggles will be taking place in many homes and classrooms as children craft cards and gifts, and countless kitchens will be transformed into early morning work zones as children prepare breakfast to surprise mom. These are all precious events and traditions to embrace and cherish. But in many other places there will be scenes of a very different kind; mothers in refugee camps and war zones desperate to protect their children, children in orphanages and shelters desperately longing for mothers, and mothers everywhere who wish their relationship with their child was different than it currently is--for whatever reason.

As we gather, celebrate, send our wishes,

Seeing things differently . . .

Anonymity and the lottery

by Lynne Bell Observer Staff

H

ave you ever been asked the question: “Would you rather be rich or famous?” I have, and I suspect my answer is the same one that most people would choose. Wealthy anonymity trumps fame (or even fame plus money) every time.

However, most things in life come with a price, and the recent news story about the winner of a $50 million, tax-free lottery prize in British Columbia is an example of someone who got lucky once, and is determined to push that luck to the limit.

The winner of the March 16, 2014 Lotto Max prize only recently claimed their massive win, and more than a month later is still fighting for the right to remain anonymous, and (at the time I’m writing this, anyway) is prepared to turn their fight for anonymity into a court battle, having already contacted a lawyer.

This is in spite of the fact that the B.C. Lottery Corporation (and many others) clearly state that any person who purchases a lottery ticket must allow their name and photo to be published as a condition of claiming their winnings.

A spokesperson for B.C. Lotteries says that this practice “protects the integrity of gaming and lotteries by being open and transparent” and that BCLC has drafted its policy taking provincial privacy laws into account, as well.

Blanket anonymity is not allowed by any of this country’s lottery corporations, and although exceptions have been made, they are exceedingly rare. Some American states and some lottery companies in Europe allow winners to remain anonymous; and there are compelling arguments for such an attractive option, among them: safety, security, and the no-hassle factor regarding the requests for cash that are an almost-inevitable part of a lottery winner’s experience.

Unless there are extenuating circumstances in the case of the B.C. winner (of 50 million taxfree dollars!) that haven’t yet come to light, this individual’s decision to challenge the province’s Lotto Corp. seems at best churlish, and at worst, ungrateful in the extreme.

The rules are clearly stated on the ticket itself and one can probably assume the purchaser of the winning ticket was fully aware of the rules of the game. Even if they were not, they certainly could choose to simply not claim their prize, and their winnings would eventually be returned to the lottery pool.

Instead, by waiting a year, they have literally lost time and possibly, money. Rather than paying a lawyer to represent them in court over this entitled argument, they could have been earning interest on their win, enjoying the money themselves, and (even better in my opinion), lessening the burden such a massive win would bring, by spreading it around to some deserving causes and individuals.

Now there’s an idea...

SE Vipers 18U take silver in Tier 3 point throughout the season whether covering the floor, chasing down a tough pass to put up a sweet set, or taking a swing from the rightside for a kill.

For some of the girls this competition marked the end of their season, which was overall good, with tough battles and friends made.

For the majority of the team, however, the plan to take them to

Nationals in their 18U year was set in motion and they will be attending it in Calgary, May 17-19. Some of the 15U team will be stepping in to fill these positions left by those unable to attend from the 18U team. The girls are all looking forward to the experience which comes with this kind of tournament and possibly taking in a Team Canada game versus Cuba if the schedule allows.

The 18U Vipers earned silver in Tier 3 during the Provincial championship held on May 2-3 in Saskatoon and Warman. Back row: Eugene Brown (Head Coach), Eric Brown (Asst. Coach), Alannah Bryce, Carlie Standingready, Hailey Bachorcik, Teresa Johnston (Manager), Kelly Running (Asst. Coach).

Middle row: Jordan Johnston, Kayla Nelson, Shoni Peepeetch. Front row: Madison Englot, Marcedes Singleton, and Katy McEwen. Missing from photo: Shelby Rose and Jaida Schutz.

Katy McEwen (Whitewood) soars through the air as she splits the block and gets a kill during 18U Provincials.

Submitted by the Southeast Vipers Volleyball Club

The 18U Vipers competed in Sask Volleyball Provincials on Saturday, April 2, and Sunday, April 3. Here they earned a silver medal in Tier 3.

The girls came out hard against Montmartre, but despite a tough battle were unable to earn the win.

Their next round robin game was against Xtreme Kaos, who were ranked 10th going into the tournament. The ladies put up their best efforts, but were unable to come away with the win.

The Vipers then took on the tough Strasbourg team in crossover action, which left the girls to face the Prince Albert En Fuego in the second crossover match.

In the game against PA the girls put in a great amount of effort, digging deeply after losing their earlier games in the day. They fought hard and took the match to three sets earning victory over PA. The next morning the girls found them in the Tier 3 semi-final match against Nipawin CNC. The girls played some of their best ball in this match-up. Passers were making perfect threes, while the setter was putting the ball up nicely for the hitters to crush. The girls easily handled CNC, taking the game in two sets.

This put the girls into the Tier 3 gold medal game where they came up against the Northwest Lakers. The girls continued to battle and fight for every point. In a toughly fought final

game the girls took silver.

Stepping up this season and throughout Provincials included Katy McEwen who was covering the floor and chasing down shanked passes, throwing herself into chairs and boards to put the ball up, while also finding success in the front row.

Additionally her positive attitude was something unrivaled and she gave 100 percent on the court no matter what.

The coaching staff unanimously voted her “Spirit of the Game,” which is an award given to each team’s coaching staff at Provincials to award to one of the players.

Honourable mentions for this award went to the libero, Marcedes Singleton, who fell into her position because of a shoulder injury. She’s now met great success as a defensive specialist passing threes (perfect passes) off serve receive and during free balls, while continually hitting the floor to put up balls, just to get to her feet and do it all over again.

A second honourable mention for the award goes to the team’s captain and main setter, Jordan Johnston, for the efforts she put forth throughout the season. Continually stepping up her game, she fought hard for each

A realistic mock collision was held outside Prairie Place on Wednesday, April 29, for students from grades 10 to 12 at Arcola School. Associated with the Prevent Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth (P.A.R.T.Y.) Program the day was meant to introduce students to the risks and the affects associated with driving while intoxicated or distracted.

The deceased from the mock collision is taken by the funeral home with the help of RCMP.

The day included various sessions which had EMS, RNs, addiction services, Hall’s Funeral Services, therapies, and RCMP present to the students. While talking about breath analysis an RCMP member asked for a volunteer to demonstrate what to roadside test looks like.

While attending sessions the students were asked during the addictions presentation to get into groups of five. While holding hands they were told to keep the blue balloon in the air (representing the addiction) as white balloons (representing family, friends, work, etc…) into the group. They couldn’t use their hands to keep the balloons in the air and agreed how difficult it was to juggle the balloons, which represented the challenges related to juggling addictions and life.

Country artist and Kennedy native Eli Barsi celebrated her 30th year in the music business by taking home top honours-as Roots Artist of the Year- at the Saskatchewan Country Music Awards, April 26 in Yorkton.

Barsi’s husband, John Cunningham, was also honoured, taking home the trophy in the All Star Band (Specialty) category.

“The Saskatchewan Country Music Association is a great organization that works hard to represent the province’s country music artists, musicians, and industry-related people,” says Barsi.

“Since moving back to the province a few years ago, my husband and I rejoined the organization and are happy to contribute and take part in as many of the SCMA’s events as possible.”

“We were both very honoured and thrilled to be the recipients of a couple of awards this past weekend at the SCMA’s annual event.

My husband, John Cunningham, received the award for All Star Band (specialty), and I was blessed to receive the Roots Artist award for the second consecutive year.”

Barsi’s career as a singer, songwriter, recording artist-and even yodeler-has culminated in a unique sound that embraces elements of western roots, bluegrass, gospel, and folk. She began performing “When I was three- or four-years-old, learning complete songs for the family.”

Country artists and Kennedy native Eli Barsi celebrated her 30th year in the music business earning the award for Roots Artist of the Year at the Saskatchewan Country Music Awards , April 26 in Yorkton. Barsi’s husband, John Cunningham also picked up top honours in the All Star Band (Specialty) category.

Nashville at the age of 20, and after 10 years of playing venues in the U.S. And Canada, Barsi started her recording career as an independent artist, releasing singles to country radio and videos to CMT (Country Music Television).

Her bluegrass, gospel, and western roots recordings brought Barsi to the attention of the iconic Sons of the Pioneers, which led her to a 10year career performing in Branson, Missouri.

Now back in Canada, Moosominbased Barsi says her 30th year as a full-timer in the music business will be a busy one, both promoting and performing music from

her critically-acclaimed album, “Portrait of a Cowgirl” and writing new material for her next album.

“My 2015 music schedule has already been very busy with many shows so far south of the border, including Texas, Nevada, Tennessee, Virginia, Colorado, and Oklahoma,” says Barsi.

“We look forward to being in Canada a little more this summer with festivals and concerts in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Ontario, B.C., and Manitoba.”

“If anyone would like to catch a performance, we welcome them, and my tour schedule is on my website at www.elibarsi. com.”

Nicole Andrew -

Letters from Africa

05.05.15

I

’ve been waiting to tell you all a story about a little man I’ve fallen in love with since being here. Not waiting for any specific reason really, other than having the right words to say!

So here we go..

This little boy’s name is Kelvin. When I first met Kelvin he was standing in Kibera Slum with tears in his eyes, on the brink of spilling down his adorable, full cheeks. He had blood crusted in his nose and down around his mouth, and dried blood staining the collar of his shirt. He was a sad, hurting, broken little man. After his mom was found, she informed us that Kelvin or “kevo” as the kids called him, had been bleeding in his stool for 4 weeks and from his nose for 3 days.

This little man was much more sick than we thought.

After discovering this it was discussed that he needed to go to the hospital, to be checked out and treated but last time Jacaranda did something like this, they were left with more medical bills than they knew how to pay, and so were hesitant in this situation. I simply told them to get him to a doctor, and the cost would be covered, as small or large as it might have been and at the time, none of us were too sure! I was simply praying and trusting that whatever would be needed would be provided. They took Kelvin to the hospital, did blood work and urine samples to figure out how we needed to help this little man. They started him on antibiotics and wanted to see him again in 2 weeks.

Two weeks of those meds had stopped the bleeding so they could begin treating the other bugs and illnesses he had but again, wanted to see him in 2 weeks. After each check up, I would give Lilian, who is one of Jacaranda’s medical workers, 1,000 shillings which doesn’t equate to much more than $10 U.S. Dollars and ask her to buy them groceries when she took them home. This made sure that while Kevo was taking medications, he wasn’t taking them on an empty stomach and that Momma Kevo was also eating and could be taking care of Kelvin.

After the second two-week check up, the doctors were so happy to see that he had gained over a kilo and was doing very well on the medication! The doctors spoke English and were able to tell me that him and his mom having food every week was a huge blessing and making a difference in not only Kevo’s health but also his moms!

I found out after that appointment that Kelvin’s mom had recently taken herself to the free clinic and was starting to take her own medication to get herself healthy again as well! That made my heart incredibly happy! After that appointment Kelvin, his mother and I, went to the play park at the hospital and I was overwhelmed, seeing how much the relationship between that little boy and his mother had changed. He was no longer an after thought to her, another mouth that she couldn’t manage to feed. And he wasn’t a sad, hurting baby anymore! There was nothing but smiles and giggles shared between the three of us as Momma Kevo put him on the slide and I waited to catch him at the bottom. It was truly an amazing day.

They said they didn’t wanted to see Kelvin for another month, but when Lilian went to take more groceries to them and to see how he was doing 10 days later, he had taken a turn and had become extremely ill, not able to keep any food down and was lethargic and weak. Once again Lilian was a huge help and took him to the hospital for another check up to find that Kelvin had an amoeba. Now considering his situation in the slum, it’s not all that surprising yet truly heart breaking knowing the progress he had made up to this point, only to be set back.

Aboutt 10 days later, Ab d l t after ft mom and d dad had arrived to visit, we were able to go to Kibera to see Kelvin and his mom, see their home and how they were doing!

She showed us that she had recently moved into a new place, and it was beautiful; cement floor and tin roof! I was so happy for her! She also informed us that Kelvin was doing much better, only getting a little bit sick. She had also bought a large thermos and was hoping to somehow find money to buy supplies to make tea and coffee to sell to workers in the slums now that rainy season had started!

I can only try to explain the excitement and hope I felt for this woman and the pride and joy you could see in her eyes! We were able to leave her groceries for that week, as well as all of $8.00 U.S. dollars in order for her to start her work.

How crazy is that?!

At the end of the month, actually, the day mom and dad flew home, Kelvin had another appointment. At this appointment they informed us that, (like the little fighter he is) Kelvin had pulled through, gained a few more kilo’s and was back on track!

In fact his progress was so great he doesn’t have another check up for three months! After this appointment, with my heart absolutely sky high due to answered prayers and a tough little fighter pulling through this sickness.

My point in all of this is not me being in the right place at the right time, or me being a hero and saving the day for Kelvin and his mom. This is to share with you the fact that these people desire nothing more than to work, to be healthy, and to care for their children and families but can’t do it on their own. I looked at this mother of three children, trying to take care of two younger sisters in school, a sister with a 10-month-old baby and a sick mother and baby of her own, not to mention herself being sick! I thought about myself on a day when I have a head ache, wake up with a sore stomach or just have a plain old bad day.

I wouldn’t have half the motivation that she has to do any of the things she has to do and I sleep on a nice bed, in warm blankets, with clean clothes and eat three meals a day. I have nothing but absolute respect for that woman, doing everything she does with not even half the luxuries I have. But all it took, was someone caring enough to love her and her child, to give as little as 10 dollars every 10 days to make sure they had food, and to help her get a leg up in an honourable, safe job, praying for them everyday, and look how far they have come as a family.

Today, this little boy was able to go to the same children’s home where his sister is. Where mom can visit both of her babies whenever she wants, the kids are clean, healthy and taken care of and where they are safe from the life in the slums that is dangerous for so many, but especially chuldren.

This is what Jacaranda Ministries does. This is what they want to continue to do and want to do more of. But they can’t do it on their own. If you would like to be a part of someone’s story, be a part of truly blessing them and enhancing their future, please consider sponsoring a child through Jacaranda. You may think it’s just for education, but Jacaranda strives to do so much more than pay for “just school fees”. They go above and beyond with every child they come into contact with, and I ask that you seriously consider partnering with them in this. I promise it will be the most rewarding thing you ever do. ** If you are interested in sponsoring a child feel free to email me anytime at casey.nicole@outlook.com Thank you doesn’t seem like enough, but, thank you anyway. Your willingness to help is impacting the world, one child at a time.

Arcola Optimists welcome Chris Henderson Band to historic Mac Theatre June 19 Lynne Bell Observer Staff

The Arcola Optimist Club will welcome singer-songwriter and four-time Saskatchewan Country Music Award nominee, Chris Henderson-and his band-to the town’s historic Mac Theatre, Friday, June 19, with proceeds going to the continued restoration of the heritage building.

Henderson says he is looking forward to performing in a venue that is gathering a reputation among musicians for its charm, authen-

ticity, and excellent acoustics.

“As for the venue, I haven’t been there yet,” says Henderson. “But good news travels fast in the music industry, and I’ve heard nothing but good things. I was talking with both Codie Prevost and Blake Berglund at the SCMA Awards, and they both mentioned it’s a beautiful room.”

“I’m excited not only to play there, but that there is another venue and community working hard to keep live music alive and well...We could use 50

more groups like (the Arcola Optimist Club) in Western Canada.”

Glen Lawson of the Arcola Optimist Club agrees. “Talking to a lot of different groups and artists, they all praise the theatre’s acoustics.

Also, artists also say playing our concerts at the Mac isn’t like playing at a bar. Instead, people are looking at them playing. The Mac’s a good place for that kind of concert, and it’s a tradition we want to keep going.”

“In the past we’ve had the Johner Brothers, Blake Berglund,

Codie Prevost play.

At our fall concert, we hosted an evening with Nashville-based singersongwriters Victoria Banks, Phil Barton, and Emily Shackleton.”

“We’re really looking forward to having Chris and his full band play for our spring concert,” adds Lawson.

“With Chris’s show, we’re back to showcasing Saskatchewan talent. He’s from the area, his dad’s from the area, and he’s a Saskatchewan Country Music Award nominee.”

Henderson-who performs both as a solo act and with his bandsays of his upcoming Arcola show: “As for what people can expect with a full band... I’d say it’s definitely an engagement of the show that I bring to the table, and more than anything else, they bring a great live energy to things.”

“I was fortunate enough to have 95 percent of my tracks on my most recent album (‘My Turn’) played by Saskatchewan players and a lot of those guys are in my band today. They are world-class players, and I have no doubt that the audience will be very impressed by what they bring to the table, and what they add to a show.”

Lawson says the Optimists are continuing to work on the heritage building “from the inside-out.”

“Our goal is to preserve the theatre,” he says. “The proceeds from this concert as well as our portion of this year’s (snowmobile) rally proceeds will be ploughed back into continuing to upgrade

Proceeds from the show will will go to the continued renovation and restoration of the heritage building. the theatre.”

“We’ve restored the inside, we’ve finished the roof, and now we’re going to rehabilitate the front, especially the windows, doors, and the awning. We’re looking at energy-efficent doors and windows, but we want the theatre to keep the art-deco look.”

“It’ll definitely be a sympathetic restoration,” says Lawson.

“We’re not going to change the look of the theatre.”

Lawson says that “A show of this calibre would not be possible without our generous local sponsors, and the Optimist Club is grateful for their contributions.

We’re expecting a good crowd, so I encourage

people to purchase their tickets in advance. But if they come to the door, we’ll do our very best to get them in.”

“It should be a great show, and we’re really looking forward to welcoming Chris and his band to The Mac.” The Chris Henderson Band will be performing Friday, June 19 at The Mac Theatre, Main Street, Arcola. Doors open at 7 p.m. at the show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 and are available by calling Glen at (306)577-3250 or Blake at (306)-577-9904.

Kennedy/Langbank News

Ron’s The Work Wear Store

Submitted by Doreen Cancade A lovely Monday morning—a great way of starting a new week.

How many times did you laugh yesterday---a large crowd of people laughed when they attended the “Fiddle History of Canada” in Carlyle—what a great show –a project by Michele Amy and the Cornerstone Theatre— many hours of dedicated practising with 54 fiddlers, 84 props, 360 costumes, 8 musicians in the pit band, 5 actors (a real time to laugh) 9 backstage assistants combined to create quite a spectacle, proud to mention Lane and Colleen Easton, Emily Dubois, Ben Dubois, Tom Richards (Langbank and Kennedy) taking part also Yvonne Bertalon’s grandson Jeremy Green of Lampman. I would guess the youngest fiddle players would be 6-8 years of age—joining with every age group until they reach Michele Amy. Congratulations to all of you.

Another good weekend of the Kipling Cloggers—Lois Brickley and Terry Berglund are members of this group—they all journeyed to Cedar Lodge, Black Strap Lake for the weekend of Sask.

Clogging fun weekend— I would presume there was lots of laughter????

April 27th Sue Cummins accompanied her daughter Deb to Weyburn to take in the “Decade of Dance” in Weyburn, when Jayd Hayes took part in this special evening for her.

When I was driving out of town on Sunday to attend the afternoon in Carlyle there was lots of activity at the Kennedy Rink where

4H members were busy with their grooming demonstrations—getting ready for the 4H days coming and I remarked to my friend Gloria how fortune families have so many opportunities in every kind of sport and entertainment they want to be envolved with—Sask.

A great place to live. So many volunteers to help the younger generation (of course this has been going on for many years).

This news is a little late but worth mentioning congratulations to Ron and Lori Gardner and their daughter Heather and Jason Baziuk of Regina, Lotus Joy born March 28th.

A come and go tea was held at the Kennedy post office on Tuesday afternoon to honor Bonnie Kell on her 30th year at the post office and wishing her a happy retirement as of April 30th.

Paul and Edythe Kovach of Kisbey were in Kennedy on Thursday and enjoyed coffee with a number of friends, Edythe mentioned she had been to see Agnes Hourd the day before and help celebrate her 100th birthday, many fond memories of Agnes I have had as she was a neighbor to my parents in the Fletwode district and later in life a neighbor to me when I moved to Kennedy—many hours we spent together with other friends playing cards and lots of laughter.

Another lady I must mention that was also a family friend for years was Marie McMillan, in her later years in Kennedy many a quilt we assembled for families and the needy, she cel-

ebrated her 98th birthday last week. Memories last forever!!!!!

Tuesday morning is coffee at the Kennedy Friendship Centre—everyone was pleased to be able to sing Happy Birthday to a very special man residing in Kennedy Joe Barsi celebrating 95 years and still very active, gardening, a real pass time for him and he is also a whiz at playing WHIST. Many more years of good health Joe. Recently Jerry and Dorothy Barsi of Regina, Bob, Jackie and Karen Barsi of Stoney Mountain, MB visited with their parents Joe and Esther Barsi.

The C.N.I.B. of Regina sell calendars and they also have draws for money every month— Yvonne Bertalon was a $100.00 winner this week.

Yvonne was also able to take in the event at Carlyle on Friday evening, a good friend Mary Hewson accompanied her. This was Yvonne’s seconded outing since Dec. 23rd, 2014 (she has been either in the hospital or recovering at home). Hopefully she has a better summer. Jason, Cindy and Jeremy Green visited with Yvonne on Sunday evening after the celebration at Carlyle.

Thursday evening the monthly bingo was held at the Friendship Center—winners were Marion Hourd, Marlene Penney including the special bingo donated by (Doreen Cancade) this month, every month a member donates a special prize, Sue Cummins, Gayleen Gurr, Stan Gurr, Lorraine Fayant. Jennie Wilton, Iola Smyth, Alan O’Callaghan, Alta

WINTER CLEARANCE ALL IN STOCK WINTER WEAR*

O’Callaghan, Marion Yuhasz and Clair Dorrance won the 50/50 draw. Thanks to Sharon Duffala for calling the bingo games.

A special thought for MOTHER’S this week---Adult is reaching out in reverence with one’s whole person in order to give treasurers of the mind;we designate them “knowledge” treasure of the hand;we call them “help” treasures of the heart;we whisper them “LOVE ; to all mothers and to mothers no longer with us—may they keep resting in PEACE.
