Encore performance of “Carol” as good as the first Cornerstone Theatre’s encore performance of “Carol” during this year’s Dickens Festival was once again a huge hit. If you missed it, (may one say), it’s your loss.

The production focuses on Jonathon Anderson (Lane Easton), a

Wall Street mogul who was once a hard-working straight arrow, but made his money off an insider deal. Anderson is visited by the spirit of his friend, Jackie (Laurie Fornwald), who warns him he will be visited by three ghosts: Ghost of Christmas Past

(Roy Rutagines), Ghost of Christmas Present (Meryle Cruywels), and Ghost of Christmas Future (with a twist character).

The play retraces how Anderson became the man of today and why the relationship with his nephew Pat-

John Anderson (Lane Easton) (right) is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past, played by Roy Rutagines.

rick (Homer David) is so toxic. When Anderson’s eyes are opened to this through his ghostly experiences, he vows to make it right.

Besides the above mentioned performers, the performance featured a lot of local talent including Denise Singleton, Garth Herman, David Slykhuis, Brayden Hill, Lauri Noble Briner, Ashton Lisitza, Lennox McNaughton, Bryanne Forcier, Monte McNaughton, Wendy McNaughton, Nancy Marsh, Fred Perry, Garth Herman, Jessica Shirley, Hyra David, Daphne Asuncion, Kass Schultz, Spencer Turk, Weston Dormuth, Leola Hirtle and Kyle Bye. Additional Chorus and Dancers: Julyco Opena, Lauri Noble Briner, Dianne Twietmeyer.

The performance was very much enjoyed by sold out crowds each evening. In addition to the weekend performances (Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 evenings) and Sunday, Dec. 2 matinee, the Cornerstone Theatre group also opened up their dress rehearsal on Wednesday, Nov. 28, to anyone wanting to see it.

John Anderson played by Lane Easton.

Bus driver recognized for defensive driving Nadja Schlienger of First Student was recently recognized for her defensive driving while operating a school bus on June 16th, 2018. S/ Sgt. Simons acknowledges that this recognition is

long overdue.

Nadja was stopped at the intersection of Highway 9 and 13 east of Carlyle when she recognized that a semi was travelling too fast to negotiate the corner. She

quickly moved her bus and crossed the highway. The semi rolled and landed where her bus had been sitting.

It is defensive driving like this that is helping make our roads safer.

Patting ourselves on the back Submitted by Michele Amy In 2014, I had the privilege of being a guest speaker at the Premier’s Luncheon on the Arts in Regina. That particular morning, I had sat through multiple presentations from Provincial Arts Organizations, many of which were quite involved with the burning question regarding rural outreach, and “How to get the Arts out to Rural Saskatchewan.”

I found this ironic, as my entire talk that day was based upon this idea: On any day, in any small town, look on the bulletin board of the local grocery store, and be bombarded by the entertainment options: plays, musical presentations, hockey games, ugly sweater parties, elder Christmas parties, concerts, children’s activities, and more. The trick is, when a person lives in rural Saskatchewan, deciding exactly WHICH one to attend on any given day is a challenge.

So thanks to all for choosing to attend the Dickens Fesitval, when there were so many other options. And for those who felt pulled to choose other options this weekend – you were missed, but we also know that your support was valued by the organizations who created those events. Because we cannot do it all – even if we want to!

The Carlyle Dickens Village Festival is one of my favourite weekends of the year. The whole community comes together for fun, fellowship and festivity. Conversations, catch-ups with former students and their parents, seeing how much everyone’s children have grown, folks who have moved away and who come home for the event – it puts a spring in my step and a smile on my face.

The large raft of Thank-you’s from the Committee to all of the unsung volunteers shall follow next week (if you have some suggestions, please let us know!) but for now – a global shout out to everyone who made the efforts – small and large – to bring this community event to life. To the many businesses contributed time, talent, decorating, money and staff, and to the community organizations like the Air Cadets

for running kitchens and supplying volunteers - It really does take a village of support, and we are grateful.

And next week, after we have all rested, and when the committee convenes to examine what we’d like to remember for the 2019 Dickens festival, we shall also have a toast to what a wonderful community we live in.

And maybe we could chat about how to “ Get the Arts and Community Spirit into the Cities.”

Weekly RCMP report Submitted by Staff Sgt. Darren Simons So it is the Christmas Party Season.

Please drink responsibly and don’t drink and drive. Make other arrangements or call for a sober ride.

I say call for a sober ride being I know of several instances where an intoxicated individual comes to a Detachment to pick up their friends who were picked up for Impaired driving.

Some may call that using “Bait” but really it happens. Others just pick the “Most Sober” driver, which is also a bad call.

If you have been drinking and cannot confirm the sobriety of your driver, don’t get in with that driver. The risks are too high.

We assisted Moose Jaw Police Service as well as Saskatoon Police Service by clearing up a warrant for each.

Which means we dealt with someone who had a warrant and we released them for a future date. If they fail to appear again there will be a further charge of Fail to Appear and another warrant.

We had a false alarm. Seems that any time there is a major weather change we get false alarms. Its like those old sports injuries. They seem to ache before a weather change . . . yes even us amateur athletes have had injuries.

We had a report of someone having their Facebook hacked. It appears they know the person and, well, for some reason they gave the person their password.

We provided advice, as in change your password and suggested they not

share their password in the future.

We received a call from an adult who wanted to inquire if she was legally permitted to let her daughter’s friend stay with her. She was told there was nothing Criminal about what she was doing. The next day a parent called to advise us her daughter had run away and then told us where she was. We were already aware and being the youth was not “Missing” and advised this was not a policing matter. Believe it or not we received a third call in two days and, well it is still not a policing matter.

While on patrol in the Carlyle area a Member noted a vehicle driving in a suspicious manner, or as we often say “Our spider senses were tingling” This vehicle would drive to a location, stop for a bit, then another location and stop for a bit and when pulled over a crack pipe and drugs were located as well as a substantial amount of cash. The operator of the vehicle was arrested and once the drugs are analysed he will be charged accordingly.

Members were dispatched to an intoxicated female in Arcola who was lost and looking for a place to stay.

While patrolling, an intoxicated male yelled obscenities at the Police.

When approached by the Police this individual became more belligerent and was upset that the Police had yet to find his girlfriend. He was extremely intoxicated and rude to say the least. He was arrested at which

time he advised the investigating officer that he was more educated than the Police Officer, made more money, then he began to say some less than polite things about the Members mother, followed by more nasty comments and then threatened the Officer’s Life.

During this time other Members found the intoxicated female and by identifying her the male was identified through the RCMP computer data base. He was on conditions of a curfew, and abstain from alcohol. He was obviously not complying with these conditions and was lodged and held for Court on Monday. His matters were then adjourned until Wednesday and he remained in custody.

To think if he had just kept quiet he would not be eating DQ twice a day for almost a week.

Our investigation was unable to determine if he had a better education than the Police Officer, however, he was definitely not as bright as the Police Officer. As for pay, he may make more, however, it is not like we do this job for the money, rather it is more of a calling.

Members responded to a report of an impaired driver, however, it was determined the driver was unfamiliar with the controls of the vehicle. It is always a better idea to pull over and figure things out, rather than not focus on the road.

Members were dispatched to a dispute at a residence in Carlyle.

Allegations of smashed windows, an assault with a shovel, and an assault and, well, nobody would cooperate. We did remove a broken shovel from the scene, but that is about all.

We had an individual causing problems at the Hospital in Arcola. Members attended and removed the individual and provided them a “Room for the Night” This individual returned the next day and this time their outburst resulted in charges of uttering threats and breaching release conditions.

We are investigating a Break and Enter to a shop in Kisbey. Our Forensic Identification Section is assisting.

There were two adults in a residence and they were not getting along. The Police were called and one was given a ride elsewhere by the Police or as some may call it a ride in a “Buffalo Cab”. Matter resolved.

An individual was surprised their truck was stolen. It had a flat tire and they figured that was enough of a theft deterrent. Not when the keys are in the ignition.

This vehicle did not get very far and the accused took off with the keys and then jumped in a SUV that was running with the keys in it to warm up the vehicle. This vehicle was found down the road in the ditch. The accused again took off with the keys. We have no suspects or clues at this time. That said the individual associated to the truck was upset as to why we even questioned them as to leaving their keys in the ignition.

Members were dispatched to a Possible Domestic.

However, upon arrival the accused was surprised to see the Police. The alleged victim had left and well, we are still not sure if anything happened. Alcohol was a factor.

Since we get several individuals that complain of threats we would like to take the time to explain that we are limited to the definition under the Criminal Code.

Section 264.1(1) Every one commits an offence who, in any manner, knowingly utters, conveys or causes any person to receive a threat (a) to cause death or bodily harm to any person (b) to burn, destroy or damage real or personal property (c) to kill, poison or injure an animal or bird that is the property of any person Examples of threats that do not often meet the definition. “I’ll make you regret it” “You better be gone in the morning” An ex-spouse threatened to cause death or grievous bodily harm to their former spouse. This threat was not made directly to the ex spouse, rather it was done in front of an adult child. Patrols were made looking for the individual who was operating a motor vehicle while suspended. (Apparently he is not keeping up with support payments as well) Again we see that the children, even adult children suffer. I am not sure why people drag their children into their disputes.

We are also investigation another complaint of threats. of threats which were made over the phone. This investigation is continuing.

We had an individual phone reporting his vehicle is going to

be taken by his daughter because he does not have a licence. Unfortunately this is not a theft and not a policing matter, however, we do appreciate the fact the responsible individual is ensuring her father does not drive without his licence.

We had two Members assist Milestone Detachment and the RCMP Regina Police Service Combine Enforcement Team with some Search Warrants, or as we call them “Door Kicks” Not that we kick in the doors. A substantial amount of drugs and money was seized. This is an example of how we work with our enforcement partners.

Several child welfare calls were dealt with. In most instances we share our concerns with Social Services.

We have several youth that are “acting up” in Manor. With the help of the Community and with some proper parenting I am sure we can deal with these youth appropriately.

Check your licence plates and make sure they are yours. We had an individual that was surprised when he was pulled over for having stolen licence plates on his vehicle. He was unaware that someone had taken his plates and switched them for stolen plates.

We had an individual that was not feeling well and fatigued that chose to drive. They dozed off and hit an approach. This individual was issued a $280 ticket for driving with undue care and attention.

A speeder was pulled over and they received a speeding ticket ($206), a liquor ticket ($360) and a 72 hour driving suspension. Moral of the story, if you have been drinking don’t drive, if you have open liquor in a vehicle don’t drive and if you speed, well, sooner or later you will get a ticket.

We had a near collision where someone thought it was wise to pass in the fog forcing another vehicle to avoid the collision and “Hit the Rhubarb” (Hit the ditch) Why people are in such a rush I don’t know but passing in the fog is rarely a good idea. Fortunately there were no injuries but the driver of the vehicle that hit the rhubarb is quite shaken up. We had a couple other calls about individuals driving “Carelessly” in the fog, however, we were unable to locate the offending vehicles.

From Page 6 - RCMP report We had a report of a driver doing 20 km under the speed limit, which can be a traffic hazard, however even at that slow speed we were unable to catch up to it and passed it on to a neighbouring Detachment.

We had a hit and run on main street. If you ever see someone that strikes another vehicle and drives away please get a licence plate and contact the Police.

We just want to clarify. Not stopping at a stop sign because it is icy and snowy is not a valid reason. If it is snowy and icy then take more time, drive slower. That said if you think you are justified expect a ticket. We handed out quite a few over the last week.

Tickets, Warnings and Inspections Notices were issued for Stop sign Violators, Failure to wear Seatbelts, follow too close, inadequate day time run-

Quote of the Week...

“Christmas isn’t a season.

It’s a feeling.”

- Edna Ferber

We need Canada to return to small town values

Maybe all Canadians need to think of their national community in the same way rural Saskatchewan think of people in their community.

But by the same token, maybe people in rural Saskatchewan need to acknowledge their communities are just citizens in the larger Canadian community.

Such thoughts cross one’s mine in light of two big national stories. The first is the struggle in the oil sector. It is caused by the price differential between light and heavy crude oil and the reality that the United States is Western Canada’s only viable customer because of the lack of pipelines to move crude oil to ocean ports.

The second is the planned closure of Oshawa’s GMC plant, putting 2,500 direct employees (and possibly thousands of parts contractors) out of work.

There was perhaps a time in this country when there would be more empathy from other parts of the country for those in trouble.

We saw that empathy in federal bailouts in the 1980s and 1990s for farmers and as recently as the 2009 bailout for the auto industry.

It may be that there is public fatigue with such bailouts.

Clearly, the agricultural bailouts weren’t especially effective at saving family farms. And there was certainly politics attached to them.

We know that in the middle of the 1986 provincial election campaign, Progressive Conservative premier Grant Devine made the infamous to call to then PC prime minister Brian Mulroney asking for help, not just because farmers needed but also because he needed it, politically.

Three decades later, what would be interesting to know is how many of those Saskatchewan farmers than benefitted from the ensuing bailout are still farming.

Similarly, it was just a decade ago when then Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper agreed provided Chrysler Group LLC and General Motors with a massive bailout. The federal and Ontario government are still owed $3.5 billion from that bailout, yet we are now seeing the planned plant shutdown in the new year.

However, the problem goes will beyond the fatigue with ineffective bailouts that seem to be the problem.

It may be the uber-partisanship, partisanship that seems fuelled by the social media that makes it rather easy to never challenge your own views or thinking, that is a cause.

Certainly, there seems little doubt that that people seem angrier.

Former Saskatchewan Brad Wall observed in a National Post article he penned that people are angrier, noting that oil patch executives are calling Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s inaction on the problems in the oil sector “treasonous.”

Given that this is not about a direct federal government policy in question like the National Energy Program (NEP) brought in by his father Pierre Trudeau, this is a rather amazing accusation.

This is not to say that the federal government and some easterners have little or no understanding of how tough things are out here.

There is simply is no doubt that western oil sales is being badly hurt by the lack of pipelines to deliver oil to alternatives customers.

But maybe it’s here where we need to think about how we, as a nation, need to come together as a community.

These are real problems in the western oil sector just as there are real problems in the eastern auto sector.

These problems are only made worse when we don’t see ourselves as neighbours and also part of the community.

In rural communities, when you saw a neighbour in trouble you don’t stop to assess the person’s politics or which side of the tracks he or she lives on. There is only the desire to help.

We need to get back to that as a nation.

We need to be a community again.

Getting to the top If it’s true that money makes the world go ‘round, Canadians should be having quite an impact on the globe. In the second quarter of 2018 personal disposable income in our nation reached an all-time high. Not in your house?

Mine neither.

Although there are indicators that tell us how a national My Outlook economy is doing, the way we deal Shelley Luedtke with our money is an individual thing and we often have different ideas regarding its use.

A friend of mine liked to recount stories of her father who had, in her estimation, some odd ideas about money. For several summers her family would drive to a large amusement park and spend the day enjoying the rides, shows and food. It amused her that although he would pay for admission, and high priced meals and snacks, he refused to pay $7 for parking. He would make the family walk from quite a distance so he could park for free. Some might argue that it was because he refused to spend money when he didn’t need to that he had the resources for things like a day at the park. Whatever the case he, like you and I, get to decide where our dollars go.

When the Charities Aid Foundation releases its World Giving Index each year it’s interesting to note how different countries rank. Last year Canada sat 7th overall. In the latest report we dropped to 15th.

Fourteen nations were deemed more generous than us.

More than 140 countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe were surveyed and some interesting information emerged. Per capita, Indonesia is the most generous country. The most improved included Kenya and Sierra Leone, while the biggest jump by one country was the Democratic Republic of the Congo which despite a difficult 2017 due to delayed elections, violence and unrest, saw a 12% increase in giving over their five year average. Singapore and Haiti landed in the top 20 for the first time, and our nation

fell out of the top 10. Canada is one of eight countries in the developed world the CFA says is seeing downward momentum in giving.

Apparently Canadian tax returns are telling the same story. Fewer Canadians are giving, and those who give are donating a smaller share of their income. Of course this is a concern to the organizations whose budgets are driven by what people give. A further hindrance is the suspicion that grows each time a charity scam is revealed. For every legitimate charity that built a good reputation we can only imagine the frustration in having to work at damage control each time another fake is exposed and people grow more cynical. The charities that work locally, nationally or internationally depend on our support to carry out their mandate. So what do we do to counteract a downward trend, particularly when household budgets grow increasingly tight? We give. We give because we can. Yes, a lot of people will have much more than we do, but a lot more people will have a lot less.

If we give what we have we will be blessed.

But there’s another kind of giving that isn’t reflected on tax returns and is a bit harder to quantify but is happening all the time in the smallest of villages and the largest of centers. It’s in the cartons and tins that get donated to food banks. It’s in the toys that are given to toy drives. It’s in the coins placed in donation buckets. It is in every quilt that is raffled, and every burger, bowl of chili and glass of lemonade that is purchased at a fundraiser. And, it’s in the hours of time spent in helping out wherever a need arises. Churches. Neighbourhoods. Communities.

Every hour spent in service to others increases our sense of fulfillment, gives us a greater sense of connectedness, and impacts the lives of the people who in turn impact us.

It’s vitally important that organizations we wish to see thrive get the support they need. As we consider our place amidst global trends on the giving index just imagine what could be done if our nation came together and made it our goal to get to the top of the world. It’s a summit we could ascend together and one that would definitely be worth the climb. That’s my outlook.

NHL’s Sabres showing surprisingly sharp edge

sports time-out with

Bruce Penton The National Hockey League is a breeding ground for abrupt team turnarounds.

Last year, the expansionist Vegas Golden Knights were almost a unanimous pick to finish dead last in the NHL. They didn’t. The Knights stunned the sports world by making it all the way to the Stanley Cup final before the clock struck midnight and Cinderella’s impossible dream ended at the hands of the Washington Capitals.

But the Buffalo Sabres were obviously paying attention. Dead last — 31st out of 31 teams last year with a pathetic 25-45-12 record — in 2017-18, the Sabres are the biggest surprise of the current NHL season and are hoping to mimic what Vegas did last year.

Perhaps even go one step further.

When December arrived, the Sabres were on a two-game losing streak, having lost road games to both Florida teams (Tampa Bay and Florida Panthers) in one-goal decisions. But those losses came after 10 consecutive wins that had propelled the Sabres into the best record in hockey.

So what has changed from last year? Jack Eichel, picked No. 2 the year Connor McDavid went No. 1, is one year older and one year better and has been given a sniper, Jeff Skinner, as a lilnemate. Skinner was acquired from Carolina in exchange

for a prospect and three draft picks. Eichel leads the team in assists and points, while Skinner had 20 goals by the end of November, tied with Winnipeg’s Patrik Laine for most goals in the league.

Former NHLer Jason Botterill, a Winnipegger whose family always put academics on the same level of importance as athletics, was hired as general manager by the Sabres in May 2017 and his influence is obviously paying off.

He picked up free-agent goalie Carter Hutton from St. Louis in the off-season, and then acquired Patrik Berglund, Tage Thompson and Vladimir Sobotka, plus two draft picks from the Blues in exchange for high-priced Ryan O’Reilly. Those players have given the Sabres second- and third-line depth, along with Sam Reinhart, Kyle Okposo and Jason Pominville.

And when the Sabres got lucky and won the draft lottery last year, Botterill took the slamdunk obvious No 1 available player, defenceman Rasmus Dahlin, giving Buffalo the only one-two Rasmus punch in the league. Rasmus Ristolainen is a first-unit Sabres defenceman.

There are no guarantees in the topsy-turvy world of the NHL, but three things seem obvious: The Sabres will make the playoffs; their days in the NHL’s basement are long gone; and Botterill and coach Phil Housley will need to clear room in their trophy cases for end-ofseason personal silverware.

We’d like to mention our two MVP’s of the game; Kip Geiger and Keegan Morrson who skated out with the boys to help them get started.

Thank you to Jacquie Walbaum who kindly sang O Canada for us.

To the game, both teams tried hard to get on the board first and Ty Currie opened up the scoring with an unassisted goal, 17 minutes into the game. The Combines’ Noah Roy, got the second period rolling, scoring 5 minutes into the period. Walker Hengen decided to give their team a 2-1 lead, scoring unassisted.

What does the Line 3 replacement mean for Canada?

“It’s a great thing for Saskatchewan”

> Enbridge is replacing its Line 3 pipeline near your community. Here are some ways communities are benefiting: Job Creation Over the life of the project, an estimated 9,175 (fulll-time equivalent) jobs and $652.3 million in labour income will be generated in Saskatchewan.

Boosting Local Businesses As our crews move through your area, they require goods and services such as lodging, laundry, gas, hardware and much more.

Investment in Community Organizations We are proud to support organizations that promote safety, environmental and social issues within communities. That’s why in 2017 alone, across Canada, we invested more than $15 million in communities near our pipelines to help strengthen community-focused initiatives.

Steve McLellan CEO, Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce

“This is Canadian product, Canadian pipe going into the ground and Canadian people coming to work in Saskatchewan. Everyone is impacted and the biggest benefit of all is that our product is going to market much more safely and productively than it did in the past, so the benefits are absolutely endless.”

To learn more about our Line 3 Replacement Project, visit enbridge.com/line3Canada, call 1-888-967-3899, or email projects@enbridge.com

Richard Frank McLeod 1946 - 2018

Richard Frank McLeod of Lampman, passed away peacefully at the age of 72, surrounded by family after a battle with cancer on November 21, 2018 at Estevan, SK. He is survived by his three daughters Darlene (Barry) Gray, Kyle and Colin; Della (Blake) Dube, Lainey and Kailey and Donna (Del) Rae, Taylor and Tyvan; his partner, Elda McCurdy and her son Terry.

Dick is also survived by his brothers John and Rod (Elaine) and their children Jeff (Ali) & Scout; and Dustin (Jose), and numerous cousins. He was predeceased by his parents, Russell and Ella, and many aunts and uncles.

Dick was born on August 7, 1946 to Russell and Ella (Joyce) in Dodsland, SK. He was raised on the family farm at Millerdale and helped with raising of the animals and working in the �ields. He attended school in Dodsland and Plenty.

He started working for Saskatchewan Wheat Pool as an elevator agent and moved around to many locations. He then worked in the oil�ield and trucking industries for many years. Most recently he worked for local Rural Municipalities.

He enjoyed watching his grandchildren participate in hockey, curling, volleyball and dancing. He was very proud of how well they did in their activities and in school. When the grandkids were young, he said that having tea parties with the girls was much easier on him than playing hockey with the boys!

Although usually very quiet, he had a good sense of humor and enjoyed a good laugh. He enjoyed reading true war stories and watching war movies.

Dad requested that no funeral be held but please think of him while you have a drink of Rum and Coke!

Those so wishing may make donations in Dick’s memory to the Cancer Patient Lodge, 4104 Dewdney Ave, Regina, SK S4T1A3 or a charity of your choice.

The family would like to thank everyone for their kind words, phone calls, cards, visits and support during his illness as well as the compassionate care he received during his stay in the Lampman Health Centre and St. Joseph’s Hospital in Estevan, SK. Deb Heidinger of Hall Funeral Services, Estevan is assisting Dick’s family.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY R.M. OF MOOSE MOUNTAIN NO. 63 OFFICE ASSISTANT

Submitted by Myrna Olson

The La Rose family held their annual early Christmas get together on Nov. 16 to 18 at the Mother Theresa Centre.

Those attending were John and Joan Wilson, Glenn and Katie Wilson, Ray and Doreen Pryce, Trevor and Christa Pryce, Sydney, Ethan and Harper and Neena and Darryl Johnson and Austin. Although it was a smaller crowd than usual those that attended reported a good time.

The annual bus tours for the season are finished. There were four buses with over 275 ladies visiting Wawota and other points along the route. Isn’t it ironic that us rural people go to the city to shop and the city people enjoy coming to the rural centres to shop?

A bridal shower was held on Dec. 2 in Storthoaks to honor Celeste Dumaine. She is the bride elect of Dylan Lamontagne.

Several local residents attended this event.

The Christmas Tea at the Wawota Museum held last Friday was well attended. Lots of baking was donated and sold!!

Don’t forget your tickets for the Santa surprise gifts. The draw will take place at the senior’s supper on Dec. 10. Later that afternoon Wawota celebrated Santa Day with skating, hay rides. hotdog supper and of coarse, a visit from Santa with treat bags.

Congratulations to the Wawota/Manor Senior Boys Volleyball Team who were the gold

There were a number of “Alida-ites” who attended and enjoyed the activities at the Agribition this year in Regina.

On Monday, November 26 Gray and Edel Cowan travelled to Estevan where they visited with granddaughter Kelsey and brought her a Christmas tree for her store, and did some shopping before returning home.

On Thursday, November 29 Act One Productions held another meeting to discuss their drama production this year. A play has been chosen but unfortunate there does not seem to be much interest – Not looking good. Please contact Tim (306483-7568) or Shanna (306-485-8647) if you’re interested.

Sincere sympathy is extended to Darlene and Doug Lemieux on the death of her step-father John (Jack) McLean of Carlyle, who passed away November 28/2018 at the age of 92. Funeral service was held December 3 at Oxbow with internment in Oxbow Cemetery. Condolences are also extended to all other family members.

Congratulations to Blake and Ashley Burnett who were married on Dec. 1 in Minot. Best wishes to the young couple as they enter in to their next life adventure.

Dennis and Betty Burnett, Peter and Rozanne McClung, Kristopher Potapinski and his friend Melissa all attended the Burnett wedding on Dec. 1 in Minot.

Tim, Shelly and Ainsley Cowan travelled to Minot on Sunday, Dec. 2 where they visited with the

Nilsen family.

What a weekend – power outages for two days.

Thank goodness the power was restored on the first day (Saturday) before the second outage occurred on Sunday forenoon. Boy one is sure at a handicap with no power – can’t do a thing! I would think about doing something and then realized, nope can’t, need power. However I did do some Christmas decorating, gift wrapping and letter writing so I did accomplished something – not a complete waste of time.

Once again Mr Jack Frost really painted up a storm, covering everything from top to bottom – It does make pretty scenery, but I am beginning to miss the sight of the sun – give me some down to earth good old sunshine soon – Please! We did see the sun for a wee while late Sunday afternoon and then it was evening and darkness was upon us again – I’ll sure be glad when the days begin to lengthen, it can’t come quick enough. Once December 21 is here one will soon begin to notice that the daylight hours will slowly but surely begin to lengthen.

Canada Cup Curling will be featured on television this coming week, it is being held in Estevan (Dec. 5-8) – we are hoping to attend for a day or two, maybe see you there.

Once again folks please remember to keep me posted on any happenings that are occurring either call me (306-443-2496), or text (306=485-8561) or e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel.net) appreciate your input. Until then – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and Take care.
