The road of life is ever changing

Valentine’s Day Carlyle

By Kelly Johnson The Observer Blake Lamontagne grew up and attended high school in Wawota, Saskatchewan.

Lamontagne’s life was changed forever when the vehicle he was driving left the road and he was in an accident that resulted in his paralysis. The accident occurred in the summer of 2007, prior to his senior year in high school. His focus in life, changed dramatically, from academics to rebuilding his life’s plan.

As difficult as he found his situation, Lamontagne’s interest became athletics. He participated in a variety of sports including adaptive rugby, wheelchair basketball, sledge hockey, tennis, curling and golf.

Growing up as an abled bodied kid it was very challenging, as he had to train a new body and learn a new way to play.

A number of years later Lamontagne was introduced to the water by his friend, Chris Pearson, who told him they were going to hit the waves and he would either “sink or swim”.

Carlyle Legion Super Bowl Hat Pool Winners ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Transitional issues pop up this week, Aries. You are not quite sure which direction you should go. A close friend or advisor can help you navigate the way.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you are a team player, but this week you may need to fly solo for a bit to get a handle on all of your tasks. Once things get settled, the team mentality can be restored.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, if you feel like your hard work is not paying off, then you may need to use this opportunity to speak with a supervisor. This can spark changes you feel are necessary.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, there are some major changes in the way you feel this week, and it could take a few days to work through all of the emotions. But you’ll get a handle on things.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Big news arrives this week with much fanfare, Leo. The excitement will start early in the week and culminate by Thursday or Friday. Expect to be surprised.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Relationships can’t be the stuff of movies all the time, Virgo.

Sometimes you have to go with the flow and make the most of the small daily moments.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Your time has been stretched too fast and too much, Libra.

The stress may be on and you’re feeling it. However, the remedy is to delegate some of your tasks and lighten your load.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you’re not one for being overly emotional and sappy, but this week you can’t hold back the feelings any longer. Don’t hesitate to share your feelings.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 You have plenty of events coming up to keep you busy, Capricorn. You may have to pick and choose which ones to attend because you simply can’t do them all.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, even though you think certain situations require your undivided attention, you’re really not involved at all.

Avoid reading into things and wait for news to come to you.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 It is time to assess your priorities, Pisces. What do you want to get accomplished over this week? You can knock out one or two items.

From Front page - Blake Lamontagne Pearson continually made every attempt to see that Blake was included in regular outings with friends.

On this occasion Pearson took Lamontagne to Wascana Lake in Regina, introducing him to a starter ski for water. To begin with, he would suit up with a side skier to instruct and manage his attempt at this new sport. He was very determined and made everyone aware he could go it alone on the ski.

Unknown to Lamontagne at the time, the instructor was Dave Wassill, the Canadian National Team coach. The coach was very taken by Lamontagne’s determination to go it alone and penchant to polish his skill at this new activity.

The coach, having recognized Lamontagne’s enthusiasm, invited him to the Canadian Disabled Water Ski Team camp in Florida.

At the camp, Lamontagne’s skill came naturally and he qualified to be a member of the Canadian team.

Lamontagne now trains in Saskatoon and Regina, where he currently lives and competes on a national level in events across Canada.

THE OBSERVER

He will also be competing also in the US Nationals this fall in Paducah, Kentucky. He will then travel to Australia in 2021, where he will compete in the World Trick Ski competition.

Lamontagne is also an ambassador of the Rick Hansen Foundation.

He attended the 25th anniversary night at the University of Regina, of Rick Hansen’s Man in Motion Reunion Tour, where by chance, he was able to engage in conversation with the Canadian icon.

Lamontagne again attended an event where Rick Hansen was guest speaker for a promotion in Regina. Hansen remembered Blake from their meeting years before.

Hansen reached out to Blake and invited him to join the Rick Hansen Foundation as an ambassador, which he accepted. Lamontagne visits schools and universities, encouraging others by telling his story of his road of life. He continually tries to see the positive and is always quick to remind himself when the road seems rough “things are never so bad that they couldn’t be worse”.

Quote of the Week...

“Kites rise highest against the wind not with it.”

- Winston Churchill

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: I am a ratepayer within the R.M. of Enniskillen #3 and wanted to share with my fellow taxpayers a look into a troublesome issue at hand.

One of the employees whose duties include hauling gravel as well as maintaining our roads and ditches has lost their license due to an impaired driving offence.

My problem, as a ratepayer, is that council has allowed this individual to keep their job even though they cannot perform their duties without a license. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am certain that a license is a key requirement to employment with our R.M. and most employers for that matter.

Now our tax dollars are being used to keep someone employed that cannot do the work they were hired for. Even more concerning is that he has been seen moving R.M. equipment around the shop, which is on a public road, since losing his license. If something were to happen to a piece of equipment that he is operating I am sure that SGI will not be insuring the damages and it will be us who have to pay the consequences.

Much like we are now by allowing him to continue to be employed in a position that would never be handed out to an applicant with a suspended license. Surely council can see that this is only going to cause more problems within our municipality.

What will become of our roads and our ditches when there is equipment parked because the employee whose job it is to operate it cannot and is instead sitting in the shop being paid to do minimal work if any at all?

This R.M. prides itself on having great roads and new equipment to maintain them it’s time that we take pride in the individuals hired to operate and maintain them as well. For someone to be irresponsible and lose their license to an impaired driving charge the consequences are theirs to deal with, not an entire community.

It is my belief and many others that I have spoken with that our council and reeve are rewarding such behaviour by allowing them to remain employed by us.

What can happen when things get quiet The power went out in the middle of the night and it woke me up. It was actually the lack of any noise that did it. The sound of being plunged into silence forced me awake.

Notwithstanding some type of hearing impairment, it is very rare that people experience silence anymore. Unless we make the decision to retreat, or intentionally unplug, we will find Shelley Luedtke ourselves surrounded by sound we may not even realize is there.

Furnaces, fans, machines and appliances all have distinct rhythms and hums and it’s something we get accustomed to—until they shut down—and we get closer to “hearing” complete silence. So rare is silence, some people feel entirely uncomfortable with it. But what a striking impact it can have…if we allow it.

The movie “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”, telling the story of a magazine writer profiling TV personality Fred Rogers, defied most industry practices by using quiet in a bold way. During a scene in a restaurant where the two are having lunch, the writer is encouraged by Mr. Rogers to take one minute of silence and think about the people who love him. Initially the camera pans the setting, but then moves to Mr. Rogers who shifts his gaze directly into the lens, thereby inviting the audience to not simply sit back and observe, but to become part of it, and consider the people in their lives, too.

It’s something Mr. Rogers did to great effect at other times including accepting a lifetime achievement award and during a convocation speech at Dartmouth. He remarked, “I’d like to give you all an invisible gift. A gift of a silent minute to think about those who have helped you become who you are today.”

Even in a movie that by intention is paced differently, taking that much time to just sit quietly was a daring move. What is the movie-goer supposed to do when an actor fixes his gaze on them and says

Publisher ........................... Nancy Johnson Regional Editor ................David Willberg Advertising ........................ Sean Choo Foo Production ..........Karen Mitchell-Steele ...................................................Dolores Young Reporter .................................Kelly Johnson

nothing? Well, they can squirm uncomfortably in their seat or they can do what’s been asked and take time to sit still and…think. That’s when they might discover that the loudest sound of all would be the one most peaceful and unsettling at the same time— silence.

When we strip away the noise of the day, we might wonder what we are left with. If the constant hum or continuous din is interrupted, it would follow that we have less that is disruptive or distracting. But then what? Well, perhaps, just perhaps, we might be better able to hear sounds that are so imperceptible they aren’t being heard the way they need to be.

The quiet cries of the lonely. The silent hurts of the grieving. The stilled voices of the isolated.

So how do we make sure we are tuned in to what needs to be heard? It might be easier than we think.

We can simply take hold of that gift, the gift of a silent minute to give time and attention to what we might be missing. It costs nothing. It matters little how old or young we are. It can happen anywhere at any time by anyone.

But then what? What is to be done when the silence comes to an end and it is time to rejoin the roar? Topping the list, I hope, would be deeper appreciation for all those whose names come to mind during the quiet, but also a desire to address some of what we might be newly tuned in to--because we took the time to hear.

Acting on it can come quietly, too. The gentle stroke of a pen writing a cheque or the quiet click of a mouse to provide financial help where it is needed, the soft gurgle of water heating to become a cup of coffee enjoyed over an unhurried conversation, a hug of comfort when no words need be spoken, the hushed tones of a prayer, or the soundless act of placing a bag of groceries in the Food Bank bin; actions not needing to be loud, but ones that resound in their impact.

Silence is so much more than the absence of sound. What we hear when we let the quiet settle can become a jumping off point for making noise of the very best kind. That’s my outlook.

His grandmother, Susan Rekken, helped out by making over 200 cookies, which were sold. Kayden’s goal was $50.00 but realized $740.00, which will be donated to the Australian Wildlife Preservation. This shows that age does not matter and one person can make a difference.

Welcome to the 20’s

2020… wow! This is great, we celebrate the new year every year and it’s always fun and exciting. But this year feels a bit different… a new decade. Symbolism of vision for the future… eyesight 20/20 and hindsight 20/20. The ‘20s… takes my mind to the 1920’s. I wonder if there was a similar heir of possibility on January 1, 1920. I wonder if anyone foresaw the things that would happen throughout that decade, one of the most monumental decades in every way. I love the 1920’s because this era of economic prosperity encouraged such signicant changes in lifestyle and culture, fashion and wide spread love of style. It was really the birth of common placed desire for beautiful homes, and that is my thing!

The Roaring ‘20s, so it was pegged. So many life changing inventions and events were made and occurred, from telephones, picture shows and radio to the explosion of the use of automobiles. Media really took off in the 20’s prompting mass market advertising. They focused on movie stars and sports heroes, largely. People were intrigued by the glamorous lifestyle that they saw, wanted to see more of it and began to desire the looks they saw in their own homes!

The 20’s was a very glamorous era in fashion. It brought with it the apper era, beads, sequins, fringes and feathers as well as showy hats and gloves. In home decor we saw plentiful woods and richly colored fabrics that covered sofas and chairs as well as draperies. Think, The Great Gatsby. There was a wide use of area rugs not only for the look they provided, but for function, as the hardwood oors in most homes were cold. Rich color palettes were seen widely, with jade greens, taupe, dark rose and yellows being commonly put together and palettes of rose, tan, violet, green and ivorys. These colors not only upholstered furniture, but were painted on the walls and were seen in a wide use in wallpapers. Alongside the wood oors, came the use of boldly patterned linoleums, which was used in many homes.

When I scroll through pictures of 1920’s homes and home decor it is quite evident that history repeats itself! The rebirth of wallpapers is very much a trend that we have seen come and go several times in the past century! Patterns and colors may change but the trend comes and goes every few decades and happens to be on trend right now! Patterned linoleums have also taken their turn in the spotlight and are hot, hot, hot, right now, although new vinyl plank oors have taken patterns and the still popular hardwood look and turned them into one very popular oor covering choice! Area rugs are back in a massive way, with so many people choosing hard oors throughout their homes. While they still help to warm up the space, they also have become a huge inuence in the overall style and look of your home.

I always say that every home should have an average of 2 area rugs. The most popular rug locations being the centre of the living room, centering the room, and underneath the dining room table, bringing in color and keeping the crumbs in one place! It’s also nice to place an area rug underneath the edges of your bed so it’s the rst thing your toes touch when you hop out of bed.

Along with the above trends repeating themselves in more modern versions, expect to see repetition in furniture styles throughout the 2020’s as well. From the draping of rich fabrics such as velvets and ornate and classic wood accents we are seeing on sofas and accent chairs to the styles of new low prole and simplistic bedroom sets, we are denitely reminded of many of the styles of the 1920’s. I always say, there are only so many colors in the rainbow, so they all get their turn, and in the same way, fashion trends are recycled adding new twists to make them current by incorporating what we have learned to make the old new and improved.

I predict that the 2020’s will see equal changes and advancements to those of the 1920’s in all areas from technology to culture. If we are smart, we will take hindsight 20/20, learning from our mistakes of the past and use our 20/20 eyesight to head into a new decade with the clearest of vision.

So til next time, it’s That Girl Shannon sayin, “If the 1920’s were roaring, let’s get these 2020’s rockin’!”

Submitted by Sta Sgt. Darren Simons • Estevan, Carndu and Carlyle RCMP in conjunction with the South East Regional Victim Services are holding a Regimental Ball in Estevan on the 14th of February. All the funds raised are in support of our local Victim Services Unit. Tickets can be obtained at any of the aforementioned Detachments. Please come out for a great evening of tradition and comradery. • We are assisting the brand inspector with an investigation of missing cattle and missing horses. If you ďŹ nd you have more cattle than you should or some extra horses please contact the brand inspector or the RCMP. This is a better option than taking them to be sold and then being investigated as a thief. • Sta of Carlyle Detachment participated in the “Bell Lets Talk

Campaignâ€? Don’t be too proud to talk. There are many professionals out there that are more than willing to help, assist and provide support. • An individual who is on release conditions to reside at a certain place was found to be breaching their release conditions. The answer of “But my landlord kicked me outâ€? is not suďŹƒcient. We did utilize discretion and fortunately for our Detachment, they are no longer are our problem, however, they will still be a problem. We did notify the Detachment that inherited this concern.

They were not very gracious with the news. • I know construction can be frustrating. Can you imagine a ďŹ re in the construction zone? It happened at the bridge construction site between Manor and Redvers. Our local volunteers again responded and put the ďŹ re out.

There is nothing Criminal and our investigation is concluded. • If you are selling drugs out of a residence and think nobody will ďŹ gure it out, well they do. Some people are getting annoyed at the amount of traďŹƒc caused by this enterprise and they are beginning to cooperate with the Police.

I know everyone is expected to have company come to their residence, however, at all hours of the day and night and only for a short duration of time? • I know this will bother truck lovers, however, we received a report of a Dodge or Chevrolet truck driving in a community in a reckless manner. The complainant wished to remain anonymous. I am guessing the complainant is a Ford driver . . . no, not because they were complaining about the Chevrolet and Dodge. I say that because they would have likely recognized a Ford, or, well we made a patrol and did not locate any truck driving recklessly. • Every vehicle should have a licence plate on it. Many have other identifying marks including unit numbers, company names or phone numbers with the message “If you don’t like my driving call 1-800-. . .â€? Now if you drove one of those vehicles you would think you would drive responsibly. Unfortunately that is why some companies put the phone number on their vehicles. They want their company to have a good reputation.

I have known people to

lose their jobs because of their driving. • We had a report of an individual walking down a main street without pants. An immediate patrol was made and it was determined the individual was wearing shorts and taking advantage of the warmer weather. • It is understandable to get frustrated when you are asked questions that you don’t want to respond to. That said, if you call the Police we will ask a lot of questions. While asking questions we often dispatch Members, however, we will still ask more questions. We are sorry if you don’t like it.

We also understand that seeing an animal that was struck by a car suffering is diďŹƒcult. Being short and abrupt with the dispatcher or the Police OďŹƒcer does not assist anyone. Patrols were made, however, the deer was not located, and unfortunately from the evidence left behind, it will not likely survive. • We are investigating allegations that someone is illegally cashing another individuals cheques. • An individual got into a verbal altercation with a tow truck driver.

To drive tow truck you tend to be tough and stubborn. The Police were called and the individual was arrested without charges, well being for the tow truck driver it was nothing out of the ordinary. A pellet gun was seized. It looked real enough to us and as one can imagine it could easily be mistaken for a real handgun. • So you are driving down the road, doing the speed limit, using your signal light, and then there is a Police OďŹƒcer pulling you over. You tell yourself “But I did nothing wrongâ€? Well technically you are correct being you were not aware that the licence plate on the vehicle you borrowed from your father was stolen. The Police OďŹƒcer quickly determined there was no foul play on your part or that of you father and SGI issued a new plate. Now the question arises “Do you know what your licence plate is? What often happens is an undesirable individual steals a vehicle. They know it will be reported stolen so the undesirable individual then takes the plate o the stolen vehicle and switches it with a similar vehicle. Pretty sneaky. • We had a report of harassment through social media. The ďŹ rst step

we always recommend is to block them from your social media. Same goes for your cell phone. Just block the number associated. We are investigating this concern. • An elk was reported to be stuck in a fence.

Apparently before the RCMP or conservation could get there to deal with it someone local had cut it loose. Thank you very much to the individual that completed that task. • We had a report of a vehicle running in a ditch. Upon the arrival of the Police the owner arrived and due to the fact that they allegedly began drinking afterward we kept the keys. No we don’t believe them. We did ensure the vehicle did not drive again that night. • A traďŹƒc stop resulted in 41 grams of methamphetamine being seized by one of our traďŹƒc Members. Bad day for them, good day for the Police and society. • We received a report that someone told someone about something that may happen in the future. I can’t really get into too much detail but, we did follow up to make sure the something that might happen in the future was not going to happen. • Members were requested to patrol due to reports of speeders in an area where youth and children frequent. While there an individual approached a Member and told them they were not welcome and should leave. This was the ďŹ rst time the Member had been told that, however, the Member realized the Police are not always welcome and that is an expectation of the job. • It was foggy and most people, even though in a rush, could not drive very fast. • Members issued approximately 3 tickets and 20 warnings over the last week. • Tickets were issued for fail to stop at a stop sign - $230 and most expensive speeding ticket was for $302. • Warnings were issued for fail to produce drivers licence, inadequate windshield, no insurance, fail to produce drivers licence, inadequate mud aps and fenders, have auxiliary lamps mounted higher than headlamps, fail to wear a seatbelt, possess more than one copy of a drivers licence and speeding. • Inspection notices were issued for inadequate headlights, and inadequate tail lights.

Bell Let’s Talk

20022AA4 20023AA3

Members and staff of the Carlyle RCMP Detachment joined in on “Bell Let’s Talk Day”, which was on Wednesday, Jan. 29.

Rain and raised eyes

By Linda Wegner Rain, rain, go away.

Don’t come back for another day… or week; by the way, given the forecast, at least a couple more weeks would be great. Even as I sit in my office typing this article, I continue to stare out at leaden grey skies and bouncing rain on the porch, while staring towards well-hidden islands off our coastline.

Add to my discomfort, the power of near galeforce winds that have shut down our ferries… so don’t wonder why I’m sipping hot tea while wrapped up in a blanket.

Poor me.

Feeling sorry for myself or, more generally, for oneself, is a sure road to discouragement.

Leaving the subject of weather, there are so many things in life that have the power to take our eyes off what is good, positive and more importantly, the Lord. Our mood darkens and our emotions sink. If there ever is a time when we need to raise our eyes, it’s during challenging conditions.

(I fully realize and offer empathy to those who suffer from mental illness or depression; indeed, my heart goes out to you and please be assured this article isn’t meant to offer a “quick and easy solution” to those conditions. I’m simply talking about the matter of feeling sorry for oneself when things don’t go as we’d choose.)

While going through cancer treatments years ago, my brother sent me a mug with this inscribed on it: “When things go wrong as they sometimes will. When the road you’re trudging

seems all uphill. When the funds are low and the debts are high and you want to smile but you have to sigh. When care is pressing you down a

bit, rest if you want but don’t you quit.”

Lift your eyes…

“Casting all your cares upon Him for He cares for you.” (1 Peter 1:7)

A goldfinch indicates a millionaire, while a dove indicates a mate for life.

If you see a squirrel on Valentine’s Day, you may marry a cheapskate who will hoard your money.

Cougars host Flyers in crucial game Nicole Currie Sports Contributor What a great night to be at the rink on Friday, Jan. 31. Wing night to get you started, a chance to be the third contestant and watch the Pharmasave Chance To Win $25,000, a guaranteed 50/50 of $1,000, thanks to Salon 206, PureChem and Little Hawk, the free pizza give-away from The Office Bar and Grill and free oil change give-away from Merit Ford,and not to mention a guaranteed good hockey game between the Cougars and Wawota Flyers.

Remi Haymore was the Cougars 7th man.

He escorted the boys onto the ice with a huge grin. Great to see. This game was important to both teams, as regular

season is almost over and these guys were tied at 17 points. Your position in the standings determines who you will battle in playoffs. Each team wants to be at the top or as high up the leaderboard as they can.

The whole game was action-packed with each team grinding it out. The last 5 minutes of the first period, was when the board got lit up, as 3 goals were scored. Wawota struck first, with Rose and McGonigal answering right back for the Cougars. J. Matthewson, Struthers, Geiger and Brown were awarded the helpers.

Onto the 2nd and it was like watching good old playoff hockey. They crashed and banged, battling it out on the ice. Riley Riddell lit it

up in the second period for the Flyers, scoring 2 goals. The Flyers were leading by one and with only 1 minute. With 38 seconds left, Johnstone and Rose make it happen for McGonigal. The game was tied at 3 after 40 minutes.

The Flyers would strike first in the third, but the Cougars responded with 3 goals and a 6-4 victory. Struthers and J. Matthewson each scored in the middle of the period and only a minute apart. With just 59 seconds left, Johnstone netted one with a nice pass from Struthers.

Johnstone, Turgeon and Rose got the assists on the two previous goals.

Both goalies made some stellar saves. It was a great game to watch.

None of the three managed to score and all were given

Novice Cougars earn “Candy Bar Cup” at Moosomin tournament Nathan Coffey Sports Contributor The Carlyle Novice Cougars (Chris) got back into championship form the weekend of Feb. 1 and 2, bringing home the coveted Candy Bar Cup from the tournament in Moosomin, where admission got you a full seat, but these Cougars had you only needing the edge of it.

To start I’d like to suggest that anyone feeling inclined should get these players and coaches some hand sanitizer. I’m assuming they are all dirty from all the filthy dangles that got pulled out on the weekend. Also a big thank you to Peyton “Scorey Spice” Faber for answering the call-up to the big club and showing that saying someone plays like a girl is a compliment of the highest regard.

The crew started the tournament with a convincing 15-1 win over host team Moosomin, with goals from everyone on the roster. The Fab 4, when not torching the twine at the back of the net, were tossing out passes that can only be described as crispy. I had

the chance to overhear a phone call between Reed “The Rifle” Coffey to his Grandpa Pat, describing his first career goal and he put it very poetically, “Owen passed it to me, backhand, boom!” “The Rifle” received Player of the Game for his monumental moment.

On a high from the first W of the weekend, the team faced Churchbridge next and downed them 14-2 and clinched a berth in the A side final on Sunday. This second game was more of the same with lots of different goal scorers and assist receivers.

Keenan “Sharknado” Winkler showed that he was not to be messed with as he flew up and down the ice, scoring and passing at will, and as if that wasn’t enough, he also stifled attempt after attempt from Churchbridge trying to mount a comeback. He was a well deserving recipient of Player of the Game.

Game 2 also showcased Griffin “Coast to Coast” Eaton playing a game within the game, where he tried to make sure every post in the rink would make a ting if it was hit with a puck, He

won and yup, every post did, he was temporarily renamed “Coast to Post”.

Safely seated in the finals the team headed back to the hotel for some much deserved R&R. They decided against the rest and the relaxation and instead mini sticks were priority #1 and the pool a big #2.

Sunday at 4:30 the squad hit the ice and they didn’t disappoint.

The team came together and played like their allowances were on the line, so pay up adults because three simple words described this game - forecheck, backcheck, pay cheque.

Xander “The Postman” Brown took home Player of the Game with some stingy defense and truly gritty play. The scoring was led by the Fab 4, who all stepped up for this big game, and carried the majority of the play. When the buzzer sounded it was Cougars 10, Prarie Storm 6.

“The Brickwall” accepted the trophy for the crew after an amazing weekend of puck stopping, but trying to fend off eight of his teammates from the Candy Bar Cup might not be something he’d sign up

The Novice Cougars (Chris) pose with the championship cup, made entirely of candy bars, after winning the A final at the Moosomin tournament held Feb. 1 and 2. for again. They had that trophy disassembled and devoured like a pride of lions on a onelegged gazelle.

The boys must have taken some advice from lyrical genius Taylor Swift, and Shook, Shook off the sting of the Vird-

en tourney and are now once again sitting at the top of the Novice Hockey food chain.

For all their hard work thus far, the Novice Cougars have been named Carson’s Safety Minor Hockey Team of the Month for the Este-

van Bruins, and with that receive several perks.

They will get to practice with some Bruins, tour their dressing room, attend a Bruins game and why not a pizza party at the intermission.

Good work Cougars, you deserve it.

Submitted Carlyle musician Robert McArthur received a $7,500 Indigenous Peoples Art and Artists grant to “bring back the Nakoda language through song, specifically children’s lullabies. Writing lullabies helps preserve the language by putting it in children’s ears.”

The Indigenous Peoples Art and Artists program aims to increase access to public funding

by Indigenous artists in

Saskatchewan, either to develop their artistic/ cultural practices or to share their art, skills and teachings.

At the most recent grant deadlines, the Saskatchewan Arts Board awarded funding to more than 100 individuals and organizations, totaling almost $850,000. Arts Board funding supports a variety of initiatives, including organizations

that provide ongoing programs in the arts, the creative work of professional artists, community art projects and the engagement of professional artists to work in schools with students and teachers.

Established in 1948, the Saskatchewan Arts Board is the oldest public arts funder in North America and second oldest in the world af-

Alida News Submitted by Edel Cowan

Sincere sympathy is extended to the Dubuc and Desautels families on the death of Lisette Dubuc on Jan. 28 at the age of 61, after a long courageous sixteenyear battle with cancer.

A public visitation was held on Feb. 3 at Cantal R.C. Church, followed by a public graveside Service at the Parish Cemetery. Then a fellowship luncheon was held at Alida Hall.

Garnet and Jean Ball are now back home after spending a month with their daughter Candis Burley in North Saanich (which is near Victoria) B.C. and they also visited with their son Garrett and Natasha at Airdrie, AB. Tim Cowan accompanied his daughter Ainsley on a school skiing trip to Asessippi on Jan. 30.

Aaron and BettyJo DeJong (Lashburn, SK) spent the weekend in Alida participating in the annual Oilmen’s Bonspiel and visiting with many friends and of course also with her dad

Bob Harrison.

Kent and Myrla Holland (Moose Jaw) spent the weekend (Feb. 1 to 2) visiting with their daughter Lynette and Parry Peet and family, renewing acquaintance in the area while taking in the Oilmen’s Bonspiel here at Alida.

The Alida Curling Club had seven teams resister for their annual Oilmen’s Bonspiel which began on Jan. 31 with a couple of draws being played and then followed by a very successful Calcutta. On Feb. 1 a morning breakfast was well attended and the bonspiel soon began again with some interesting curling being done.

There were raffle tickets available throughout the day for the Chinese auction items and following supper the draws were made. A very delicious Roast Beef supper was served to 70 guests which of course including the curlers. Results of the bonspiel were as follows: A-Event winners were the Gold Star team over Shaw Earth

Moving team. The BEvent winners were the Potapinski Consulting team over the P. Peet team. The Curling Club appreciates the continued support by all those who participates, donates, supports and volunteers at their weekend bonspiel. Hope to see everyone again next year.

Breakfast at the Rink this past Sunday, Feb. 2 saw Kitchen Group # 2 in charge and they served up a total of 44 breakfasts – Way to go guys and gals, another successful morning and job well done. It’s just great to see so many familiar faces coming back each week and enjoying the breakfast. Next week its Kitchen Group # 3 back at the helm – and the question remains – Will they beat or match the Breakfast Challenge total of 60? This total was set at the first breakfast – only time will tell.

See you at the rink.

Spent most of Sunday watching more curling on the television – this time it was the Manitoba semi-finals

and finals of their Scottie play-offs. Team Einarson won over Team Jones in a very tight and interesting final and we’ll see them at the Tournament of Hearts in Moose Jaw. Please remember folks to keep me posted whenever you have news – simply contact me anytime on the happenings that are going on in and around Alida as well as within your family circle, either call me (306-443-2496) or text (306-485-8561) or e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel.net). I will see that your news gets into a paper. I do appreciate all your input as it does help keep this column interesting.

Until next time – keep smiling – think positive – drive safely and take care.

Maryfield Villa News Submitted by Janet Mark A blanket of hoarfrost has graced Maryfield and the Villa. Dawn made a few tracks in the courtyard, dug out the side doors and righted a few of the decorations that had blown over.

Members of Kola Church brought us worship: Harold and Cheryl Friesen; Harold and Florence Klassen: Mary Braun and a newcomer – Marcel Archambault. His wife Elizabeth played the violin beautifully. Other visitors that week included: Irene Sorenson, Joe and Shirley Blaise.

Marie Jensen celebrated

her first birthday at the Villa. Guests included: Roy Swanton, Mae and Sioerra Jenson, Brandon; Bev Shire and Val Puskas, Bertha Drumm, Carol and Susan Fuller “Circle of Friends” brought pictures from their pasts. Wee Grace Toms had the same curly almost white hair as the Grace we know now.

Ralph showed his favorite horse. Taking little Janet to a commercial photographer inspired a lifetime hobby in her father. Pastor Amber brought a picture of Alex, age 8, in his favorite Mexican cowboy outfit. Mary brought wed-

ding photos which they cherish. Leora wore her family ring, with a stone for each of her children.

Pastor Roy Bortolotto brought his digital piano for a program, much of which was Scottish music in honor of Bobbie Burns Day. At last we met the newest member of Maryfield: Steffen Lucan Ens. None of us were able to go to the baby shower at the church, so Korneli brought him to us. What a bonnie lad.

Two months old.

On Saturday night Charlotte Kovach brought a movie and popcorn.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Kelly Johnson The Observer Workers from Safrane Construction of Regina are nearing completion of the ICF walls and will be placing the concrete for the main structure of Carlyle’s new fire hall during the week of February 3 to 7.

Work on the new facility began in December 2019 and has progressed with no major delays or design problems. Safrane will also be placing the concrete for the floor slabs.

The roof structure will come next, once the concrete has cured for the proper amount of time and as well, other trades such as framers, mechanical and electrical will soon arrive on site.

DSI is the general contractor managing the construction of this project.
