From Front page - Lake Front Treasures

By Kelly Johnson The Observer Lake Front Treasures is a pottery salon, owned and operated by Amanda Meyers.

Amanda is from the south of Carlyle where her parents farmed. She attended school in Alameda and completed high school in Oxbow. She and her husband make their home at White Bear Lake.

Myers took up making pottery, as a pastime and hobby, a couple years ago. She purchased the necessary equipment, consisting of a potter’s wheel, kiln and other tools; setting up a home studio in the cabin.

She creates and markets her finished products at craft and trade shows and by word of mouth. She also has four retail merchants where she wholesales or consigns her wares.

Myers produces mugs, pitchers, plates, soap dishes, pretty much anything that can be used in a home and can be fashioned from clay. She also produces decorative vases and bowls and has a very uniquely designed salt and pepper shaker set.

Anyone with a passion for pottery can find more information and contact Amanda Myers online at Lake Front Treasures.

Quote of the Week...

“No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.”

- Joseph Addison

Old political assumptions need re-thinking

By Murray Mandryk A killer drone 10,200 kilometres away could have a big impact on the Saskatchewan election still eight months from now.

That drone that took out Iranian general, Qassim Suleimani, said to be the second most powerful person in the state that’s long been American’s enemy, could yet have a profound effect on politics in many parts of the world, including here at home.

However, whether how much of an effect it will have and whether it will affect us as much it might have had are now two big questions.

The pleasing thing is we might not be quite as vulnerable to such events as we once were.

Of course, the political turmoil in the Middle East won’t directly effect on Premier Scott Moe’s political fortunes in the Oct. 26 election … or at least, it won’t have the direct impact it might have on U.S. President Donald Trump’s election just eight days later.

However, political instability in the Middle East has traditionally had a big effect on something very important to both the Saskatchewan economy and its politics: the price of oil.

As of the writing of this column, the West Texas Intermediate price of oil was $62.02 US a barrel _ better than both the initial Saskatchewan 201920 budget projection ($59.27 US a barrel) and the slightly downgraded mid-year projection ($57.03 US a barrel.)

An increase in the oil price as generally been good for both the Saskatchewan economy and budget revenues, which, in turn, is really good for the political fortunes of the government of the day.

But maybe it’s about here where it would to be best to be careful about old assumptions. Things are changing in this world and it might even be that the rise and fall of oil prices isn’t quite the big deal id used to be.

To begin with, the oil market instability expected to follow the assassination and Iran’s retaliatory missile attack hasn’t happened … at least not quite yet.

Sure, oil prices increased slightly, but (as of the writing of this) by only a modest 1.5 per cent.

Things could change quickly if oil flow is disrupted, something that could happen it Iran continues its retaliate by things like limiting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz in the Persia Gulf. (As suggested earlier, things 10,000 kilometres away have a way of impacting us here.)

But, so far, that’s not been the case.

And even if were, there are other factors in play.

For example, if there is a boom in oil prices it will certainly benefit the economy in certain parts of rural Saskatchewan.

However, rural Saskatchewan is already firmly supporting the Saskatchewan Party, whether it’s good economic times or no. Politically speaking, it’s unlikely that there will be much effect here.

Of course, the indirect political effect of increasing oil revenue is affording the provincial government the luxury of spending more. That could appease some voters frustrated by 2017 budget cuts.

But those frustrated with the Sask. Party administration these past 12 years might not be satisfied by a bit of additional government spending in an election year.

Moreover, an oil windfall isn’t quite the big deal in once was.

Much to the credit of Finance Minister Donna Harpauer and the Sask. Party government, the financing of the provincial budget as been rejigged in a more manageable way.

As of the mid-year update of the 2019-20 budget, about half our revenue comes from taxes and only 12 per cent comes from non-renewable resources.

Essentially, this has sheltered Saskatchewan taxpayers from things beyond their control, including what’s now going on in the Middle East.

We aren’t completely immune, but we are less vulnerable to things we can’t control than we once were.

When I squeeze you, you make noise Heads up, gen Xers. Get ready to think back to a pop culture childhood moment that hopefully brings a smile to your face and most assuredly a song to your lips.

It was 50 years ago that a certain Muppet named Ernie sat in a tub and sang with obvious affection to his Rubber Ducky, expressing all the fun he had sharing a bath My Outlook with his favorite squeak toy. The Shelley Luedtke song proved so popular on Sesame Street it went on to become a mainstream hit, peaking at #16 on the Billboard 100.

For small children, bath time is about more than getting clean. It’s play time and the fun of splashing and discovering how water can be made to move. As children become older and no longer need supervision, baths become boring and inconvenient and children rush through the process all the while trying to convince parents that, yes, they did in fact use soap. Then come the pleas for greater independence and showering instead, causing grown-ups to hold on to the hope that standing under running water for even the briefest of attention spans is accomplishing some sort of cleansing action.

For some, the pendulum in adulthood swings again and many enjoy a return to the tub, espousing the benefits of soaking. They have research to back them up. Baths can help regulate blood pressure, contribute to overall heart health, increase blood flow throughout the body, help limbs feel less sore, increase mental alertness, and help us sleep better.

Last August, a stress survey conducted by the American Psychological Association found that the top areas of concern for adults were health care, mass shootings, the upcoming presidential election, immigration, environmental issues and sexual harassment concerns. One of the lead researchers remarked, “There is a lot of uncertainty in our world right now -- from mass shootings to climate change.

This year’s survey shows us that more Americans are saying these issues are causing them stress.”

All of these are indeed large, concerning issues; ones people might feel powerless against and not surprisingly cause feelings of stress. So, what does any of this have to do with a rubber ducky?

One of my favorite children’s books is “Five Minutes Peace” by Jill Murphy; the story of Mrs. Large, an elephant who searches for five minutes of peace and quiet away from her boisterous children. Leaving them in the kitchen, she retreats to the bathtub.

But just as she is about to relax, her children interrupt by playing the flute, reading to her, and even offering her toys to play with. She gives up, heads back to the kitchen, and not surprisingly, her children follow her there, too, but not before she cherishes a full 3 minutes and 45 seconds of peace before their arrival.

We need quiet time. We need moments when we can step away from the noise that surrounds us almost unceasingly. It’s not just that we need a break from activity. We need peace and quiet for our brains to recharge and to give our minds time to be renewed. It is in the quiet that we can take time to think, to re-discover what matters most, and to reorder our priorities. When we take time to be quiet we often find that it is good things that come to mind more easily, and some of what causes feelings of stress get pushed to the periphery—just a bit— even for a short period of time.

There’s no question the stresses faced by many can feel overwhelming. That’s why it is so important we take time to step back, step out, or maybe even step into a tub and let the water do its job. We can take a cue from that most famous tub toy and allow the soaking time to let us work out the squeaks and reclaim our buoyancy against the stresses we need to face. It won’t wash away the worries, but we just might emerge with a smile that could rival even Ernie’s rubber ducky.

That’s my outlook.

Financial Focus How to survive a layoff If you’ve been laid off, it’s important to re-evaluate your finances. Here are some tips to help you manage the situation until you find another position.

Evaluate the situation Review your savings and adjust your budget accordingly. List your recurring expenses, including those for your cable, cell phones, medications, rent and mortgage.

Then, tally up what income you have, if any, and determine for how long you can make ends meet.

Decide where to cutback You probably won’t be able to maintain the lifestyle you’re used to while you’re unemployed. Start by mak-

ing sure you can cover essential costs, such as those for food, medication and shelter.

Then, cut back on unnecessary spending (such as by terminating subscriptions or at least putting them on hold).

You should also talk to your financial institution to see whether you can renegotiate bill and credit payments. It’s also important to avoid taking on any new debt.

Secure income sources You’ll likely need to supplement your savings while looking for work. Don’t wait until you’re struggling to meet basic living expenses before looking into securing unemployment benefits. You may also want to consider getting

a part-time job until you can find something more permanent.

For more advice, don’t hesitate to speak to someone at your financial institution, as they could help you find ways to minimize costs while you find work.

Be prepared Experts recommend having an emergency fund with sufficient savings to let you live for three to six months.

In addition, maintaining a strong professional network could make finding a new job much easier. Periodically updating your resume and attending networking events is a good idea, even if you aren’t expecting to be laid off.

HEALTH HUB Eczema: 5 tips for managing symptoms Atopic dermatitis, better known as eczema, is a chronic condition that causes the skin to become inflamed. It often manifests on the body as patches of dry, itchy skin that are red or brown. The itching may become more intense at night and, in some cases, raised bumps that leak fluid will develop. Cracked, scaly skin that becomes raw and sensitive from scratching may also be an issue.

Here are some tips for mitigating the discomfort associated with eczema.

Relax While there’s no concrete evidence of a link between stress and the severity of eczema symptoms, many patients report that their symptoms are worse when they’re worried or under pressure.

Regardless of whether stress causes eczema to flare up, it’s likely that relaxation techniques and activities such as yoga can distract people from the itching and reduce the perceived severity of their symptoms. You can also try massage therapy, reading a book or listening to music to de-stress.

Stay hydrated Whether they’re mild or severe, a good moisturizing cream is a must for managing eczema flare-ups. For best results, apply a liberal amount of moisturizer after taking a lukewarm bath or shower.

Avoid hot water, as it dries the skin and will likely make your symptoms worse.

In addition, drink plenty of water and avoid consuming dehydrating foods and drinks such as deli meats, candy and alcohol.

Try creams A variety of medicated

creams, some of which can be purchased without a prescription, can help manage flareups. Make sure to choose a product endorsed by dermatologists, and avoid greasy creams as well as those containing perfumes, parabens and dyes.

Choose the right clothes When your skin is irritated and inflamed, it’s best to avoid synthetic fabrics and tight-fitting clothes. Privilege loose apparel made of natural textiles such as cotton, bamboo and silk. These are less likely to aggravate your skin.

Manage humidity levels Dry air can worsen eczema symptoms. Use a hygrometer to monitor the humidity levels at home and at work. Ideally, you should maintain a humidity level that’s between 40 and 60 per cent. If necessary, you can use a humidifier to remedy dry air.

Learn your triggers Eczema flare-ups can be triggered by a wide range of things including soaps, dust, cigarette smoke, cleaning

products and certain foods.

Try to identify the things that trigger your eczema and, if possible, eliminate them. This will result in fewer flare-ups.

Don’t scratch While it’s easier said than done, refraining from scratching is an important component of managing atopic dermatitis.

Despite the temporary relief it provides, scratching damages your skin and makes you even itchier.

If you absolutely need to relieve the itching, try to pinch or lightly rub the affected area.

It’s also a good idea to wear cotton gloves to bed, as unconscious nighttime scratching is a common cause of skin damage. Finally, you should cut your nails very short to minimize the risk of injuring your skin.

Eczema is a common and potentially debilitating skin condition. Following these tips, and seeking the help of a health care professional, will likely make it a little easier to manage.

Weekly RCMP report Submitted by Staff Sgt. Darren Simons • We are starting out the year with several 911 misdials, false alarms, child welfare and mental health calls. As much as things change they stay the same. One of the alarms was at a school where the teachers forgot to punch in the alarm code when they are preparing for school after their well earned Christmas break. We did not determine if it was due to excitement or dread.

• If you have been in our office lately you will note we have a new counter and dividing glass. This installation was started before Christmas and was just completed. Moose Mountain Cabinets, as always, did a great job, however, it was challenging for them having to work with the glass company and their schedule. You might think this would be an easy task, however, add a government contract and a “Secure” lobby adds complications. The amount of safety glass, associated metal support and metal reinforcement which is hidden within the installation is unbelievable. I wish I had taken photos. We would like to thank those in the community that had to attend our Detachment for their patience.

• We had a report of sport cars racing on Highway 13. Patrols were made by our traffic unit and we located one vehicle that may have been involved.

The driver claimed they were not speeding, however, another sport car had passed him at a high rate of speed and turned in to Carlyle. This story seemed believable being the elderly parent who was a passenger confirmed the story. This Member determined that this parent did not appear to be an individual who had a “need for speed”. Members suspect they know who was operating the other vehicle being they are familiar with it and the driving habits of the owner. Unfortunately, this individual does not believe they need to change their driving habits, however, if they don’t they will continue to be involved with the Police.

• It always amazes me that sorrow and loss can become violence and anger. In a past posting I had to attend a funeral home to deal with grieving family members that were becoming violent and arrests were almost made. When a loved one is passing or has passed please try and get along with others that are grieving as well. These altercations also take place in hospitals and care homes. Not everyone grieves the same way and having the police come is not a memory you want to have. Ironically, another unique place I have attended for a disturbance and fight is a wedding. I never did figure out what the fight was about, but it was a good one.

• We are investigating a break and enter to the Redvers Recreation Centre. Our Forensic Identification Section from Yorkton has already linked it to a Break and Enter at the Alida Recreation Centre, which occurred over the same evening.

• We had a individual that was suffering from substance abuse wandering around causing concerns. Nothing illegal perse had been done, however, after dealing with the individual a couple times our Members thought maybe this individual has other pressing matters and they were run through our computer database. Our Member was disappointed in themselves for not checking the database on the first occasion being there were warrants from two other Police agencies and we were able to eliminate any further concerns by lodging the individual and dealing with their warrants the following day. We also cleared up other warrants for other Police agencies and continue to look for others wanted by both our Detachment and other Detachments and agencies.

• If you have committed offences against the Criminal Code and you are on conditions you need to comply with those conditions. If one of those conditions is to meet with a Probation Officer you have to meet with the Probation Officer. If the meeting does not go well and the Probation Officer chooses to meet you at the Detachment for their safety, well this is where you get to meet Probation. Too bad if you don’t like it. Remember, you are the one that FORM 2 broke the law to start TAX ENFORCEMENT LIST (Section 4) with.

PROVINCE OF SASKATCHEWAN • An individual that promised to comply with Notice is hereby given under The Tax Enforcement Act that unless the arrears their conditions and was and costs appearing opposite the land and title number described in the caught and charged was following list are fully paid before the 17 day of March, 2020 an interest based on a tax lien will be registered against the land.

Note: A sum for costs in an amount required by subsection 4(3) of The Tax Enforcement Act is included in the amount shown against each parcel

then given another opportunity to follow their conditions. This did not last and this individual was subsequently arrested and has been in custody for over a week.

• Remember what gets put on Social Media can stay there forever. All it takes is someone to take a “Screen Shot” and it can be shared and shared. In addition, if you choose to harass someone on social media you can be charged for harassing communications. To those that are victimized by this communication our first suggestion is to block them and ignore them.

• Members were dispatched to a house party where some intoxicated individuals were allegedly causing problems. A patrol was made and one individual was given a ride to another residence, which apparently resolved the issues.

• An intoxicated individual chose to ignore the wisdom that was being bestowed upon them by a sober occupant of the residence they both occupied.

This resulted in a call to the RCMP who attended and determined that this individual would be best monitored in our cell block until they sobered up.

• Another 72-hour suspension and three-day impoundment for alcohol consumption while driving was dealt with.

• Members wrote approximately 40 tickets and 60 warnings over the past week.

• Tickets were issued for fail to stop at a stop sign - $230, no insurance -$580, open liquor in a public place - $250, window tint -$115, no drivers licence - $150, fail to secure licence plate - $100, fail to wear a seatbelt and most expensive speeding tickets were for $336 and $910.

• Warnings were issued for cannabis in a vehicle, fail to display licence plate, drive with undue care and attention, minor consume liquor, uninsured trailer, fail to produce registration, fail to stop at stop sign, fail to produce drivers licence, discard a burning substance from a vehicle, tail light fail to emit red light, excessive damage to windshield, insecure load, operate an over dimensional vehicle, obstructed licence plate, inadequate headlamps, inadequate speedometer, fail to signal and speeding.

• Inspection notices were issued for window tint, inadequate mudflaps, inadequate daytime running lights, inadequate licence plate light, inadequate windshield, inadequate brake light, inadequate signal light, inadequate tail lights, and inadequate headlamps.

Buying back the farm

By Linda Wegner A quote, posted above my computer, and an article I recently read, prompted these thoughts. Having said that, I can’t describe how painful I find our recent news broadcasts, TV coverage and on-line posts nor how blessed I was to read the following newspaper article, so blessed in fact, that it brought tears to my eyes. I hope it’s not “fake news” but even if it is, it was wonderfully refreshing.

According to the post, a young farmer grew up on land that had been in the family for a number of generations.

Because a less than scrupulous relative ended up

putting the young man’s ownership of the farm in jeopardy, he found it necessary to put the farming operation up for sale. With much sadness, I’m sure, he found himself engaging the services of an auctioneer. According to the newspaper account, 200 farmers attended and the young man quickly realized he wouldn’t have enough money to retain ownership but he started off the bidding.

Long story short: No one else bid on the property, leaving him as its sole owner.

It wasn’t just the beautiful outcome that touched my heart so deeply, it was the care and sacrifice of

his neighbours. We’re blessed to live on a street in our part of town where those around us consistently demonstrate their appreciation and care for each other.

No matter where we live or what our daily activities, though, let’s be on the constant lookout for ways in which we can minister God’s love.

As for that quote, here it is: “Give what you have; to someone it may be better than you dare to think. No man is so poor as to have nothing worth giving.” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness…” Galatians 5:22

South Saskatchewan Community Foundation and RBC Foundation announce grant to Youth Group in Stoughton South Saskatchewan Community Foundation and RBC Foundation are providing a grant of $15,000 to support youth-led Community Cooking Classes at the Stoughton Central School.

The project at Stoughton Central School is Community Cooking Classes. The grant will help to provide free cooking classes twice a week for students and community members. Ocean Man First Nation students and community members will be a part of the classes, thus bringing the two communities together and sharing ideas throughout. The classes will be youth led and assisted by Professional Chef and Restaurant Owner, Gayla Gilbertson, and Chef Alayna McNab from the Happy Nun Cafe in Forget, Sk. The youth will learn valuable leadership skills and entrepreneurial skills because of this program.

Cooking classes run for 15 weeks, 2.5 hours per class, two times a week starting in February. At the end of the 15 weeks the Youth Leaders from this project will host “Diner for a Day” at the Happy Nun Cafe in Forget, SK where they will learn the restaurant business firsthand by preparing and serving meals to 30 guests.

Grant recipient and youth leader Jessica Baumgartner says she is very excited that Stoughton gets the opportunity to give out these cooking classes.

“I feel it will strongly help the community in encouraging youth to learn to cook,” says Baumgartner. “It is a very important skill that I feel as time goes on people are starting to lack. I hope this project works out well and am very glad to be a part of it.”

Youth leader, Erin Campbell says that the cooking classes will be a fun way for youth and for community members to learn some tasty recipes and put teamwork under their belts.

“Providing a fun, safe, efficient, and cohesive experience for youth to strengthen their skills in the kitchen,” says Campbell. “This is going to be a great experience and certainly one for the books!”

The RBC Future Launch Community Challenge

is hosted by Community Foundations of Canada and participating community foundations. It is made possible thanks to a $5M donation from RBC Foundation, a commitment by RBC and the RBC Foundation to empower Canadian youth for the jobs of tomorrow. Over the next 10 years, RBC Future Launch is dedicating $500 million to help young people access meaningful employment through practical work experience, skills development opportunities, networking solutions and mental well-being supports and services.

Grants like this one are being made to youth-led projects in 150 small and medium sized communities across Canada. The goal of the program is to shift the power to young leaders making positive social or environmental change in their communities, while gaining valuable skills and experience.

“RBC is committed to the power, vision and potential of youth, and the important role they play in their communities,” says Salman Khan, RBC Community Manager, Southeast Saskatchewan.

“We are thrilled to see the results of this important partnership with the CFC helping make a difference right here in Stoughton and in communities across Canada.”

The South Saskatchewan Community Foundation serves as a bridge between donors and charities in Regina and in southern Saskatchewan.

“We believe in facilitating Saskatchewan philanthropy, supporting local charities, and developing our community so that our home is a more vital, strong, and fair place to live, work, and play,” says Donna Ziegler, Executive Director, SSCF. “Participating in the RBC Future Launch Community Challenge builds on SSCF’s long-time support to local youth and youth leadership.”

“Young people are not future leaders - they are leading social and environmental change right now.

We are honoured to play a role in the bold change that youth are leading across the country through this national initiative with RBC,” says Andrew Chunilall, CEO of Community Foundations of Canada.

Reward offered for incidents in which cattle were shot A reward has been offered in connection with a couple of incidents last fall in which cattle were shot.

According to a tweet from the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association (SSGA), the reward of up to $2,000 is being offered by the Saskatchewan Turn in Poachers and Polluters (SaskTIP) line.

Chad MacPherson, who is the general manager of the SSGA, said both incidents occurred during hunting season.

There was also one in southwest Manitoba that was widely reported.

One incident in the southeast was in the Lampman-Alameda area. Two cattle were shot and killed. The other near Wawota led to the cattle surviving injuries that they suffered.

“As a result, we reached out to SaskTIPs, which is a non-profit organization that deals with hunting and pollution crimes, and gives opportunity for people to report environmental crimes,” said MacPherson.

As for the incident in Manitoba, it occurred in the Reston area.

One of the photos in the reward poster is of an animal that was shot in Manitoba.

MacPherson said it’s hard to know for sure right now whether

these incidents were related, but the timing and the close proximity of the shootings could mean a connection.

“It’s not uncommon for sometimes animals to be injured in hunting season, but these ones seem kind of blatantly criminal in nature versus an accidental shooting. It was alarming that people were just injuring animals for just entertainment,” said MacPherson.

He has seen situ-

ation similar to this in North Dakota, but this is the first time he knows of it happening in Saskatchewan in the past few years.

The SSGA has been in contact with the RCMP and conservation officers in southeast Saskatchewan regarding the incidents.

This is also the first time that the SSGA has gone to SaskTIPS for a reward on a crime.

Anyone with information can call SaskTIPs at 1-800-667-7561.

THE OBSERVER

Novice Cougars (Chris) dominate in weekend games on the road Nathan Coffey Sports Contributor The Novice Cougars (Chris) took their act on the road the weekend of Jan. 11 and 12 and cruised down the 48 Highway to play the two respective Wawota teams. When the dust settled the boys had two more wins (16-6 Saturday and 28-1 Sunday), and possibly an upset caretaker at the Wawota Forum, because the boys led by the Fab 4 shot out every last light in the building, figuratively speaking of course.

GAME 1 (SAT., JAN. 11) 16-6 W This was a tough game to predict with it being the first road trip of the regular season and some minor coaching changes. Coaches Chris and Joey had to step away from the team (Not controversial, just prior engagements), which gave coach Jeff the reins, and an interim assistant coach and one lucky sports contributor Nathan a chance to watch the magic from ice level. Nathan has since retired from coaching on top and undefeated.

The boys didn’t skip a beat jumping on the score sheet early and often, with Hayden “Hands and Hair” Puskas leading the surge and I’m sure getting a scoring chance for each and every inch of lettuce hanging out the back of his lid, and potting the majority of them.

The Cougars got into a bit of penalty trouble in the second half of the game with Owen “Top Cheese” Light going off for elbowing and “Hands and Hair”

Puskas serving 2 for tripping, But the team stayed steady and killed off both and even managed to score a shorty.

The rink was cold at ice level but the boys played with the fire and intensity of 1,000 suns, and finished the game with the warmth of a win in their bellies.

GAME 2 (SAT., JAN. 12) 28-1 W Sunday’s game was a bit lopsided with the boys cruising to a 28-1 win. The boys showed some great sportsmanship and Wawota played right to the final buzzer showing some real heart.

This was a great team win in all aspects. Quality shots, precision passing, and countless shot blocks to name just a few. The “Brickwall” Brown didn’t see a ton of action, but stopped all but one shot that was sent his way.

Early in the second a crisp pass from Reed “The Rifle” Coffey to “Hands and Hair” Puskas leading to a goal finally got “The Rifle” into the points column with his first point of the campaign.

I figured in this Sunday matinee game I’d see the boys Stop Drop and Roll, because they were on fire.

It was a great weekend of hockey and the boys can go into this week of practice with a 3-0 record.

And on behalf of the team I’d like to send a special shout out to all the hockey mom and grandmas for all you do, you are all a very special part of this team and this season wouldn’t be possible without you. Happy Hockey Mom’s Day.

Novice Cougars (Scott) start league play on winning notes Melissa Dixon Sports Contributor Just like a caterpillar emerges from its cocoon as a butterfly, so has this wonderful little team. Since the start of the season in November, this small group of 9, along with their coaches, came together to learn a new format of Novice hockey.

We started the season off with half ice hockey and only exhibition games. Definitely not what this veteran hockey mom is used to (haha). But we strapped on the equipment, laced up the skates and away we went, not knowing what exactly to expect of the season.

The first exhibition game of the season seemed to take forever to get here for the kids, since we are used to games right off the hop. But game day arrived, smiles beamed and excitement ensued. They won their very first game of the season, and let me tell you, they were pumped! And the wins didn’t stop there, we had quite a few in the first half with the odd loss, but hey, those just build character and create teaching moments.

January brought the start of league games, with a major switch from the first half of the season. These kids that worked so hard on their stick handling and skating around more obstacles on that smaller ice surface for the first two months, now get

to play full ice hockey again. Off sides and all! And guess what, all that hard work these little guys and their coaches put in has definitely paid off.

Game 1 was played on Jan. 4 against Estevan, with a win of 11-7 and Sunday Jan. 5 brought us back home to play Wawota, to end the weekend with another win of 13-2. This past weekend we took to a tournament in Oxbow leaving with a tie, loss and a win so overall not bad on a bitter cold weekend.

I look forward to seeing these wonder kids continue doing what they love and enjoying every minute of it. And I hope to see you all come join us this upcoming weekend, Saturday, Jan. 18, for Carlyle Minor Hockey Days to catch our Novice kids play at 10:30. Bring your bells and horns and pack for a full day of Carlyle hockey. After that we have two away games and then you can catch us back on home ice, Saturday, Feb. 8 at 10:30 vs Wawota.

Alida News Submitted by Edel Cowan

I received word that Helen Swayze had passed away on Dec. 29 in Regina. Helen had become a teacher and taught school in a few country schools in the Alida area and later she also taught in Alida School (late 1970s-early 80s). She moved to Maryfield, superannuated in 1984 then moved to Regina to be near her family. Helen was predeceased by her husband Albert (1995), parents, George and Angela Wiszniak (Redvers), brothers, Joe and Fred Wisznick, two sisters, and a great-granddaughter.

She is survived by her children – Dennis (Jan), Lori (Laurier) Donais and Norman, nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, brother, Mike (Ann) Wisznick, sisters-in-law Helen and Joanne Wisznick, as well as numerous other extended family and friends. A funeral mass was held Jan. 3 at the R.C. Church in Balgonie. The Alida community extends condolences to all family members.

Bob Harrison has returned home after spending some time visiting with his family – daughter BettyJo and Aaron DeJong and family at Lashburn and also with daughter Bobbi-Jo Morrow and her family as well as with son Clayton and Amy Harrison and family at Sylvan Lake, AB. Word was also received that Marlyn Simons of Nipawin, SK passed away Jan. 6. He will missed by his wife Lorraine (Charles), his five children Terry (Rod) Cranch, Tammy, Tracy (Dick Dabek), Michael (Carmen McCleary), Tanis (Leslie Dabek) and 11 grandchildren, as well as his in-laws from Alida Patty Charles and Bob Harrison and their families. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Condolences are extended to all family members from the Alida community.

Tim, Shelly and Ainsley Cowan spent the weekend (Jan. 11-13) in Minot visiting with the Nilsen family. They returned home on Monday after Ainsley’s dental appointment.

We didn’t make it into the rink on Friday night to join in with those who gather for some camaraderie-ship, a game or two of cribbage, or a scrimmage game of curling, or just throwing rocks, or one could also go skating for exercise, or maybe even have a scrimmage game of hockey – doing whatever your heart desires. It’s a great way to spend an evening out among friends, as the doors are open every Friday evening. However I understand that only one person made it to the rink, guess the weatherman wouldn’t co-operate so people stayed home and kept warm. Maybe we will see you there some other time.

It will be busy at Alida rink over this coming weekend at it Alida’s own Winter Games – a fun-filled weekend with hockey tournaments, curling games, fund-raising auctions and a delicious supper. Hope to see you there sometime.

Hubby spent his Saturday (Jan. 11) in the basement on his Ham Radio – another contest (North American QSO Party) to keep him entertained and busy. So I was able to enjoy the Continental Cup Curling on the TV without him coming to do add his usual commentating to bug me – Hooray! However the curling did not end up the way I was hoping for.

The European curlers were really on the ball and showed Canada how the game should be played. The event ended up on Sunday with the teams playing skin games. Europe came out on top with over the winning 31.5 points while Canada got around 16.5 points, thus resulting in Europe winning the cup for the second year. The next curling event to be televised is the Canadian Juniors semi-finals and finals games on Jan. 25 and 26 – happy watching.

It was Breakfast at the Rink again on Jan. 12 which had Kitchen Group # 3 in charge and they served up a total of 50 breakfasts – Way to go guys and gals, another successful morning and a job well done. It’s just great to see so many familiar faces

Maryfield Villa News

coming back each week and enjoying their breakfast.

Next week it’s Kitchen Group # 4 at the helm – will they beat or match the Breakfast Challenge total of 60 – that is the question? Only time will tell – see you at the rink.

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.
