Canada Day draws huge crowds to area resorts

Photos by Kelly Johnson

Moose Mountain Park was host to a lengthy Canada Day parade on July 1.

By Kelly Johnson The Observer With a lot of events cancelled in the country and province, Canada’s birthday was still celebrated at Moose Mountain Provincial Park and White Bear Lake Resort.

Moose Mountain Provincial Park was host to a parade consisting of some floats, decorated vehicles, classic cars and emergency service workers and vehicles.

The parade was enjoyed by those who were able to attend, as it snaked through the roads of the Park and cottagers were asked to view from their cabins if possible. For those driving to the event, they were asked to stay in their vehicles in order to practice physical distancing.

The Provincial Park is undergoing improvements to all the asphalt surfaces within its boundaries and the Main Beach parking lot was the destination for many who wanted to watch the parade.

However, the Main Beach was cordoned off to most traffic due to these improvements, leaving limited parking only on the far side of the lot. It was perhaps the largest line-up ever the Park Gate had seen, as traffic backed up along the 209, (which is the main traffic artery access to park attractions) almost to #9 highway.

The annual fireworks at Kenosee were cancelled, but Canada Day fireworks enthusiasts could hop over to White Bear Lake Resort and take in their usual dazzling display that has become one of the July 1st go-to events in the southeast for many years.

Hotel Beach at White Bear Resort was the desired destination to view the show, with every available parking spot in use. Once again the crowd was asked to pay strict attention to the SHA physical distancing guidelines. Vehicles filled the south shore of the lake and Good Bird’s Point with car loads of spectators trying to get a view as anywhere along the lakeshore provides a wonderful spot to observe the fireworks. Some of those having the best view were on their watercraft anchored on the lake.

Between the two resorts, everyone could come together and celebrate Canada Day and by all reports, the “scaled-down” celebrations were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone that attended.

White Bear Lake Resort was the place to be for the annual fireworks on Canada’s birthday.

COVID-19 crisis hasn’t affected SaskEnergy’s demand much

By Brian Zinchuk Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Estevan Mercury Regina – You don’t use your furnace much in spring or summertime, and as a result, SaskEnergy has not seen much of an impact on its demand for natural gas since the COVID-19 crisis which took hold in mid-March.

Minister Responsible for SaskEnergy Bronwyn Eyre and SaskEnergy president and CEO Ken From presented the Crown corporation’s 2019-2020 annual report, ending March 31, 2020, on July 7 in Regina.

Eyre pointed out that over the last year, SaskEnergy had the lowest price for natural gas for its customers over the last 20 years, and that was the third lowest rate in the country.

Eyre said, “Let me be clear. No rate change is being contemplated this year. And let’s not forget that we implemented that lowest commodity rate in 20 years, last year, which is an important commitment, when you consider the effect of the federal carbon tax which negated that decrease.

“Our decrease also neutralized the effect of the carbon tax. This, as many gas companies have increased rates to make up for the carbon tax. We, SaskEnergy went the opposite direction. We decreased rates. That is something we should be proud of.”

Meanwhile, demand from industrial transmission customers had increased for the fifth straight year.

“With nearly 2,500 distribution customers added in 2019-20, the corporation expects to reach the milestone of 400,000 customers in the next fiscal year. That’s why it is vital that SaskEnergy continue to focus on its core operation system expansion and safety and integrity efforts in 2019-20.” Eyre said.

SaskEnergy reached set a consumption record three days in a row this past January, with January 15 culminating in 1.55 petajoules of gas transmitted through the system.

Individual residential customers are becoming more efficient, with higher efficiency furnaces, better insulation and windows. The result has been a two per cent decrease in residential annual average usage.

SaskEnergy had earnings of $66 million. That was a decrease from the previous year’s $134 million, but From noted that in the past few years, natural gas pricing in Alberta had gone into negative pricing numerous times. As a result, SaskEnergy was able to take advantage of those low prices.

Eyre said the $66 million in earning was “a return to traditional earning levels after a record high year in 2018-19.”

As a result, a $24 million dividend was paid to the Crown Investments Corporation for the 20192020 fiscal year.

The 20-inch diameter, 62-kilometre long South Saskatoon Transmission Line roughly double the utilities capacity south and east of Saskatoon. It was completed over two years. “It is the first step in a two-part plan to increase industrial capacity for new residential, small business and large industry customers in the Saskatoon area, as well as the surrounding areas such as Humboldt and even as far away as Prince Albert,” the annual report noted.

The impact of the COVID-19 crisis, and its associated crash of oil demand resulting in turmoil in oil and gas production has not gone unnoticed. Most of Saskatchewan’s natural gas production comes from “associated natural gas,” as in gas that is produced when oil is produced.

Eyre, who is also Minister of Energy and Resources, said, “In addition to the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the oil industry, of course, has experienced a significant downturn, which has a number of implications for SaskEnergy as our province and our people continue to show their resilience through these challenging times SaskEnergy’s efforts to safely deliver reliable and affordable natural gas has become more important than ever.”

Drilling for oil in Saskatchewan has come to an absolute standstill since the pandemic hit. While it usually shuts down for spring breakup, in May and June, the number of active drilling rigs typically rises to 30 to 55 during June and July. As of July 7, there was one rig drilling in Saskatchewan, and it was looking for helium.

The result is that natural declines in oil production will result in declines in gas production, according to From. SaskEnergy is looking at a 10 per cent decline in that regards, but given that the TC Energy mainline runs through Saskatchewan and SaskEnergy has about a half dozen receipt points from Alberta for natural gas, From did not anticipate a problem with gas supply.

“It’s all about the long term, with SaskEnergy,” Eyre said, noting that contracts are entered into years before to anticipate vagaries in the market.

“It’s never a matter of the immediate drilling taking place, because the contracts are a security that have been in place many, many months prior.”

On March 18, SaskEnergy implemented an inter-

Allergies or COVID-19: How to tell the difference?

Submitted Redvers, SK, June 2020 – There’s nothing unusual about suffering from seasonal allergies this time of year. That is, there never used to be – until COVID-19 came along.

Now, what’s making this allergy season out-ofthe-ordinary is that some allergy symptoms overlap with symptoms of COVID-19.

The Public Health Agency of Canada lists cough, fever and difficulty breathing among the most common symptoms of the coronavirus. Symptoms can also include sore throat, tiredness, headache, chills, aches and pains, and decreased sense of smell, among others.

Meanwhile, people experiencing common seasonal allergies can have similar symptoms.

So, how can you tell the difference, and when should you consult a healthcare professional?

“Because allergies and COVID-19 can present in similar ways, it’s a good idea to have the facts and be extra cautious to make sure what you’re experiencing is nothing more than allergies,” said Greg Shepherd, CEO, Pharmasave Pacific.

According to Pharmasave, here are key differentiating factors between seasonal allergies and COVID-19:

OBSERVER THE

For all your printing and paper needs PHONE

• Fever: A fever, and associated symptoms such as chills, are not usually typical of seasonal allergies, so may point to an infection.

• Itchiness: If your eyes, nose or throat are feeling itchy, especially after you’ve been outside, chances are you’re experiencing seasonal allergies.

• Nasal congestion: Common among seasonal allergy sufferers, nasal congestion is not a typical symptom of COVID-19, even among those who report decreased sense of smell.

• Sneezing: Another common seasonal allergy symptom, sneezing is generally not associated with the coronavirus.

“Because every case is different, it’s important to speak to a healthcare professional if you’re unsure about your diagnosis, and your pharmacist is a good place to start,” Shepherd said, adding that pharmacists can also offer advice and treatment to curb seasonal allergies.

Pharmasave has also launched a one-stop COVID-19 information portal at www.pharmasave. com, where the public can find all the information they need about COVID-19, including links to COVID-19 self-assessment tools that can help you assess if you’re experiencing symptoms of coronavirus or potentially seasonal allergies.

est waiver to help out customers with an outstanding balance. Eyre said, “At the close of the six-month program any outstanding account balance can be paid back over the following 12 months, through equal monthly installments, with no additional interest charged on those amounts. This provides customers with a period of 18 months to recover from the impact of the pandemic to their finances.”

From noted that current deliveries haven’t been affected much, but prospective increased need for natural gas may be put off as projects are put on hold due to the oil crisis this year. SaskEnergy continues to be in contact with those customers to see how their needs will be affected.

“When one burns bridges, what a very nice fire it makes.”

- Dylan Thomas

Silly session ends in silliest of debates

By Murray Mandryk As the short 14-day spring sitting was drawing to a close NDP Opposition leader Ryan Meili penned a letter to Premier Scott Moe with an usual demand.

Meili asked Moe to resume the legislature in September to present: “The standard budget projections for years two, three and four, including this government’s plan for spending and revenue in that period,” and; “An allocation of the $200 million contingency fund.”

The request quickly drew derision from the Saskatchewan Party benches, with Moe decrying that Meili was asking for a “do-over” or a “mulligan” for what has largely been perceived as a poor performance by Meili and his small NDP caucus.

Meili didn’t have a great sitting but his call wasn’t completely without merit.

The Opposition leader was right that the $20-million contingency fund, the answer to most any spending shortfall question since MLAs returned to the Legislature on June 15th, would be easily and quickly exhausted.

Meili is also right that a 14-day sitting is not nearly enough time to properly scrutinize the $16 billion in provincial spending that exceeds revenue $2.4 billion.

If the Sask. Party is arguing that Meili and the NDP are asking for a do-over, it certainly can argued that biggest annual deficit in Saskatchewan history is one we should do over.

It’s also true that Meili and the NDP, and arguably more important, we taxpayers, didn’t get a lot of information in the 2020-21 that we got in the 2019-20 budget.

That would include revenue, expense, and surplus/deficit projections for the next three years that the Saskatchewan government has, at least in recent decades, included in the annual budget presentation.

Not only were these critical numbers missing, but estimates GDP growth, future commodity prices for things like oil, job growth, retail sales and even debt were limited to just one more year.

But while it’s pretty easy for any opposition as some nerfarious attempt by government to deceive the voting public prior to the election, here’s a couple other things to keep in mind.

In the last NDP government budget in 2007, the government somehow forgot to include most these very same three- and four-year projections for their last pre- election year budgets. It’s also worth noting the then Sask. Party opposition screamed bloody murder about this at the time, as well.

One big difference, however, is the then-NDP government in 2007 didn’t have to rewrite a budget in three months.

This is precisely what happened when Finance Minister Donna Harpauer scheduled a full budget presentation for March 18, but discovered she couldn’t credibly do so with COVID-19 hammering the planet at time.

One can rightly criticize the content of the Harpauer’s June 15 spending for not abandoning the Sask.

Party government’s spending plans unveiled on March 18.

Under the circumstances of a worldwide recession, one would think Harpauer should have spent the last three months adjusting her spending.

But that hasn’t been the major criticism from Meili and other New Democrats, who have more been critical of the Sask. Party government for not spending enough.

Finally, let’s get a little realistic about those longterm numbers New Democrats now tell us are so vital. No government, neither their governments nor the Sask. Party government, ever came close to hitting them anyway.

They are of value in that they somewhat hold government to account. But they aren’t legally binding.

So why bother with telling you about this silly political debate?

Well, it’s a pretty good illustration of how silly this entire sitting was and how neither the NDP nor the Sask. Party should have much to celebrate when it comes to their performance.

Sadly, what we just witnessed from both sides won’t much help voters with the choice they will have make on Oct. 26.

Lessons that come even when we’re not linked in I am an expert golfer, provided the holes involve windmills, castles or glow-in-the-dark options. Mini-golf I can do. The big game—not so much.

Creative and colorful courses often caught our eye on vacation with our young daughters, but even before that I was hooked. My family owned an 18hole mini-golf course at a lake and not only was it a fun place to Shelley Luedtke work, it also allowed time to develop some reasonably good putting skills.

But as for the big game, I have one—just one— golf tale. I was about 12 when my family joined up with other families at a regional course that also boasted a great playground and picnic area. We had done this before but on this particular day the two oldest kids were asked if we wanted to golf with the adults. I jumped at the chance. The other girl was less than excited but she agreed to go along.

I don’t remember much about the first hole but the second is seared in my memory. Thanks to some encouragement and coaching it went quite well for this golfing novice. In fact, I bested one of the adults (a non-golfer to be sure) by one stroke. But my friend was not enjoying herself and made it clear she wanted to walk back to the picnic site. I wanted to keep learning how to hit a golf ball but I went back with her.

That was the beginning…and the end…of my time on the links.

So I have amused myself the last couple of weeks with how much golf coverage I have been watching.

Since its one of the very few live sports happening right now it stands to reason I might be drawn to it.

I mean how much playoff hockey from 10 years ago can we continue to watch?

As an outsider looking in I have found myself both fascinated and disappointed. Let’s start with the prior. I am intrigued by how differently the same hole plays and how a pro can make spectacular shots one day only to miss the mark the next. It’s like when a soccer player misses an open net or a track star trips over a hurdle.

Group Publisher .......Gordon Brewerton Regional Editor ................David Willberg Production ..........Karen Mitchell-Steele ................................................... Dolores Young Reporter .................................Kelly Johnson

It doesn’t just happen in sports, of course. In the unfolding of a day we do things we wish we could take back. We forget to do what we intended to take care of, or we do it incorrectly. We are human beings who can accomplish something really well 99 times in a row but then experience the misfortunate of having something go sideways on us the next time we try.

It’s called making a mistake, but apparently it has become untenable.

A kicker misses a field goal and gets death threats. A TV personality misspeaks during an interview and has to hire personal security because of the backlash. A young server gets a coffee order wrong and is threatened by a man several decades his senior. Mistakes where apologies were offered but not accepted.

We need to be allowed to make mistakes. It’s not an excuse for negligence or disregard for others.

Those take place on a whole other level. But the chance to make mistakes, to learn and move on to the next hole having gained the experience of pitfalls and errors is a necessary part of life. We need the chance to catch up to where we inadvertently landed and be allowed to focus on redirection.

The other aspect of golf that fascinates me is the level of honesty that is expected. It may not always happen, but the expectation is there and I love that. Each player has to enforce the rules and apply their own penalties—even when no one is watching.

While most people say they value honesty over other traits and characteristics, it’s the one we see on the biggest decline.

So that’s what fascinates me. And the disappointment? Easily the fact that I don’t golf. I let opportunities slip by or then turned them down when I didn’t feel I had the skills I needed. But before I call a mulligan, I’m going to grab hold of its simplest of lessons: the need to bounce back from mistakes, and the importance of honesty no matter the consequence.

I know the game only on its smallest scale, literally its mini version. But there’s still something that can be gleaned. Taking what we know on a small scale and applying it to the big things in life is the best way I know of hitting the sweet spot every time. That’s my outlook.

FAMILY & LIFESTYLES 4 tips to safely use a baby carrier A baby carrier keeps your hands free and your child close. From specialized backpacks to fabric wraps, these practical devices are great for babies as they provide comfort, aid with digestion, facilitate sleep and promote proper muscle and joint development. However, it’s important to take precautions.

Here are four baby-carrier safety tips you should follow.

1. Look for wear and tear Check for ripped seams, damaged buckles and torn straps before each use. If you opt for a slingstyle carrier, make sure the knots are tied tight or the fabric is securely fastened in the rings.

2. Properly position your baby A baby carrier should be snug enough to provide ample back support. While there are ergonomic carriers that allow your baby to face forward, these should be avoided until your little one has full control of their head and neck. To reduce the risk of hip dysplasia, make sure the carrier supports your baby’s thighs while keeping their legs bent and their knees slightly higher than their hips.

3. Check your baby often To eliminate the risk of suffocation, your child’s face should be visible at all times. Make sure their mouth isn’t pressed into the carrier or your body.

Paws & Claws

Additionally, their chin shouldn’t be tucked into their chest, and their legs shouldn’t be bunched against their stomach. Any of these positions can restrict your baby’s breathing.

4. Limit your activities If you’re babywearing, avoid slippery areas and activities that could lead to a fall such as cycling, skating and running. You should also avoid using your baby carrier while cooking or drinking hot beverages because it puts your child at risk of getting burned or injured.

Before you purchase a baby carrier, test out various models to ensure you choose the right one for you and your infant.

4 creatures that keep your aquarium clean If you own an aquarium, regular tank cleaning is a must. Here are four types of aquatic creatures that can help you get the job done.

1. Shrimp Most shrimp, including the ghost and the red cherry, are excellent scavengers.

They feed primarily on algae but also enjoy munching on organic debris and fish food scraps that litter the aquarium floor and cling to decorative fixtures.

2. Starfish Starfish are a great addition to an aquarium cleaning crew because they eat practically anything. These marine invertebrates also sift through sand and keep glass walls spotless.

3. Snails Snails are an ideal addition to a freshwater tank. As well as aerating sand, most snails eat algae, organic debris, leftover food and even small dead fish. Just make sure to keep an eye on their proliferation.

4. Cleaning fish Many species feed on algae and organic debris as well as the dead skin and parasites of other fish. Corydoras catfish are easy to care for, botia help regulate an aquarium’s snail popula-

tion, and bristlenose catfish are particularly efficient algae-eaters.

Before you assemble

your cleaning crew, make sure the species you want to adopt can live harmoniously in their new home.

You see, hubby spent his time back down in the basement on his ham radio participating in the Canada Day contest. Later on in the day we did decide to go for a drive and ended up in Carlyle where we enjoyed a delicious A&W meal (in the car) before heading back home.

The Alida Community Swimming Pool opened its gates on July 3 with a nice little bunch of swimmers enjoying the activity at the pool. COVID-19 guidelines were followed and all seemed to roll right along just fine. Swimming lessons will begin. Hope you all enjoy the pool this summer.

On July 4 Jeff Cowan of Regina dropped in for lunch and visited with his parents, Gray and Edel.

Then he spent a while visiting with his friends Grant and Jenny before he went on to Moose Creek Regional Park to fish and visit with his brother Tim, Shelly and Ainsley.

Bob Harrison enjoyed a few weeks visiting with his family at Lashburn, SK and at Sylvan Lake, AB, returning home July 5 safe and sound.

Sincere sympathy is extended to the family of Melvin (Happy) Hortness who passed away July 4 at the Redvers Health Centre Special Care Home at the age of 93 years. Happy grew up in the Alida area and lived on his farm near Redvers from 1950 until

Sympathy to the family of the late Shane Lincoln. Shane passed away in Regina on June 26 at the age of 63 years. He was the son of Ken and Vivian Lincoln and leaves wife, Karen and children, Karla (Colin Carleton) and Chad (Nicole) and grandchildren, Isabelle and Wyatt. He is also survived by his sister, Shelly (Dale) Easton and their daughter, Erika. Family and friends gathered in White City on July 3 for a time for honoring Shane and reminiscing about his life.

Sympathy also to the family of Ruth Holmstrom who passed away on June 28 at Deer View Lodge.

She was 90 years old and lived a very productive life being involved in many aspects of the community. A private funeral service was being planned.

Congratulations to Scott Knelsen and Krystle Mendez who were married at the Knelsen acreage on July 4.

Visiting with the Keith Olsons and the Jake Lamoureauxs last weekend were Stacey Heffernan, Kate, Sarah and Sophie Ledoux (Kate and Sarah’s friend) of Regina and Justin Olson and Tamara Buckingham and Callie of Saskatoon. Justin and Tamara and Callie attended the Knelsen- Mendez wedding

on Saturday. They all gathered at Kenosee for time on the beach and to celebrate a belated birthday for Carter Olson’s 12 (June 22).

Betty Walker has moved to the Maryfield Villa recently. We wish her well in her new home.

The residents of Deer View Lodge were treated to a showing of several cars from earlier years. The Estevan Car Club made a tour of several communities on that day.

Word has been received of the passing of Ray McNeil in Calgary (formerly of Redvers) at the age of 87 years. He is survived by his wife Ivy and family. Ray was well known in this area for his love of music and his involvement with many of the orchestras. We remember him playing his saxophone as a member of the Olsons. Sympathy to all of his family members and friends.

Due to the virus I planted my garden reasonably early and thought for once I would put some wire up for the peas before they get too big. Some years the peas are quite tall before I get around to putting it up. I put the wire fences up and after the peas grew, I realized I had one wire fence put up on a row that hadn’t been planted. Maybe next year I ‘ll go back to my old method.

We are still on Lockdown. Our Visitors Book has been replaced by a Daily Covid-19 Guest List. Everyone must buzz in and sign in and out to provide tracking information, should it be necessary.

Thank you, Judy Skiba, for your gift of two black end tables. They have front and back book compartments for songbooks, and a pull out trays for taking notes. Another Big Improvement was the thermometer, mounted on a post at eye level outside the north window. Thank you, Dawn & Braden Stewart. That one won’t get buried in the snow.

Everyone gathered in the courtyard for Garry Dixon and Keith Olsen, accordion and saxophone.

It was a hot day, and Sandra Dick made sure I did not sit in the sun long. She brought out iced tea and cookies for everyone.

The next night there were a few spits of rain, and all but three hardy souls elected to come inside.

Margaret Penner led singing from the doorway, but we could not hear Mary Thiessen on guitar. Sorry, Faithful Friends. Pastor Alex and Amber wandered into the courtyard, and he gave us his blessing from the doorway.

Welcome to Betty Walker, Wawota.

Grace, Irene, Marie and Janet had visitors. Mine brought roses and my pink peony, which I thought had died. A couple of robins are building above our drainpipe.

Fred’s beans are already podded. The mature pink roses have been glorious.

Interesting to know the history of the plants in Courtyard.

Saskota Baseball League season hits off

By Kelly Johnson The Observer The Saskota Baseball League is off and running for the 2020 season playing the first scheduled games on Thursday, July 2.

The league will consist of the same nine teams as last year and each team will play a shortened schedule of 10 games. The league start had been delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thursday night’s action saw eight of the nine teams play their season openers. Last year’s champions, the Carnduff Astos, had the bye.

League President Kelby Trimble of Carnduff had been facing the prospect of no season at all, saying, “I’m glad there is going to be some baseball.”

Thurday’s games saw Redvers A’s win 7-1 over the Oxbow Chiefs.

Carlyle Cardinals held off the Estevan Fireballs 11- 9, entertaining the fans in a close one. Estevan Wolves took out the Arcola Threshers 11 – 6 in Estevan, and a pitching duel in Kipling saw the Royals hold off the

Kenosee Cubs 1-0. Burke Lyons pitched the shutout in the home opener.

Three games were scheduled for Friday night with only one game being played. The Estevan Matchup will go as a double header at a later date and the defending champs, the Astros will host the Kenosee Cubs on Sunday for their league opener.

Carlyle Cardinals made it a 2–0 start to the season, spoiling Arcola’s home opener in the league’s second night of action.

Fans will see few noticeable changes to the games. The province’s physical distancing rules will be in effect for the players while in the dugouts and spectators will be asked to follow physical distancing protocol as well. There will be no meeting prior to the first pitch between teams and teams will not shake hands at game’s end. They will make a gesture from their benches at the completion of the game in a display of sportsmanship.

Also there is lots of room in the ballpark for fans and it is an event

any one can go and safely practice physical distancing.

Provisions have been put in place to sanitize baseballs, all balls leaving the fenced area of the diamond will be sanitized when returned to the playing field before being put back into play. As well, players are not allowed to bring sunflower seeds, etc. and asked to not spit to keep each other and fans safe.

The game umpire is the field boss at all times and the teams are asked to adhere to all recommendations that the Saskatchewan Baseball Association has put forth to make sure that the season is a success.

The baseball season has been a constant in the southeast area of Saskatchewan dating back to the late 1800’s and now under the pandemic, provides great entertainment that is easy on the pocketbook for anyone looking for an outing. Just remember to keep an eye on the ball.

Check the Saskota Baseball league website for all the games times, standings and scores.

It might take a while for that rite of passage – the drivers test

By Brian Zinchuk Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Estevan Mercury Regina – Getting one’s driver’s licence at the age of 16 has long been a rite of passage for Saskatchewan’s youth, especially since much of the province is so reliant on having your own vehicle due to limited public transpor-

20072sf0

tation.

But the COVID-19 crisis pumped the brakes on road tests, as the idea of having a driver examiner in the same vehicle as the one taking the test was considered too risky. However, as Saskatchewan re-opened its economy in phases, SGI adjusted its road tests.

What was once a quick ride around town now involves the use of a dash cam monitoring both the driver and the road. The examiner follows behind in another vehicle, giving instructions via cellphone on speakerphone.

Another person must be in the car with the student driver being tested.

Road tests were first opened up to Class 1 and Class 3 on April 20. On June 25, examinations were opened up on a first come, first served basis to the general public seeking a Class 5, Class 2 or Class 4 licence, as week as motorcycle, school bus and heavy trailer endorsements.

SGI Minister Joe Hargrave said on June 29 did not know how many people applied on that first day. Five 16 year-olds in the Estevan area said as of June 30, they had not heard back yet from SGI as to when their drivers test would be scheduled.

Hargrave said, “There was 5,000 examinations delayed because of COVID. Now we’re back at that.”

He noted people with an agriculture and business need were targeted first.

“We contacted of the 5,000 people that were delayed. I think there was only about 1,000

that said they were ready to take the test and the other 4,000 didn’t respond or said, ‘We’ll just wait for a while.’

So we’re catching up on those numbers.

Hargrave said 300 examinations are being done each week now.

“They’re trying to do more. We’re trying to increase that number every week to get that up there. But there’s more because of the sanitation, because of all the equipment that we have to do in the cars. If there is more work to it than what it used to be and it used to be the two of you would hop in the car and go over driving. Now we’ll use cameras. Now we have to sanitize each of them. So each exam takes considerably longer.”

What used to be a 20-minute process now takes two hours, according to Hargrave.

Will SGI be bringing on more driver examiners?

Hargrave responded, “We’ve been looking at that as well.

I think we already have, I believe, we’ve gone to some of the driver training schools and we’re utilizing some of those people to help, because we’re so far behind. And otherwise, we’ll just continue to get further behind. So we have to catch up on the backlog.

“There was a lot of people apply on the first day that it was available.

And so but we want to get through them as quickly as possible because not everybody passes on the first try, either. So if they fail, they have to go to the back of the line.”

If you turned 16 during the COVID-19 crisis, you weren’t able to apply for your Class 5 driver’s test until June 25. But some of those who applied on that date still hadn’t received their scheduled appointment date as of June 30.

From fear to faith

By Linda Wegner For those of you, my readers, who are not acquainted with the Upper Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, we live in a relatively small but isolated community.

It’s beautiful almost beyond description with ocean views out front of our home and lush forests behind us. As an added bonus, we’re technically accessible only by plane or by boat. Yes, people drive up from the Vancouver mainland or cross over from Vancouver Island but both those options require several ferry trips. Why do I say to all this? Simply to explain why I’ve felt relatively immune to a lot of things, including

the covid-19 virus; I’ve enjoyed a mostly relaxed attitude of safety and I put that down to faith.

Unexpectedly hearing that perhaps our community had been affected/infected instantly changed my upcoming plans along with my complacent attitude.

Perhaps we weren’t immune after all; perhaps, my circumstance-inspired faith wasn’t valid.

I quickly realized that fear threatened to overcome my emotions. Circumstances now dominated faith.

I know that I’m not alone in wrestling with feelings during this time and I freely confess that; the reason I’m writing this story, however, is to

share the realization that in some matters I was basing my trust in what was going on around me rather than in what God has promised. No, He hasn’t promised immunity from trouble but He has promised to be with us in every part of our life. Let’s allow faith to rise from the ashes of fear as we proclaim with the psalmist David, “When I am afraid, I will trust in You.” (Psalm 56:3, 11) No one knew better than David, what it meant to live with the spectre of death but neither did anyone else know more the comforting presence brought about by his deep faith in God. So can we. Amen.

A new look at Manor School grounds

By Kelly Johnson The Observer The school in Manor was the recipient of the goodwill of Country Garden Greenhouse in Carlyle, receiving seven trees that were planted in the northwest corner of the schoolyard.

The trees were donated to the Village of Manor, who in turn, felt they would be well received by the students at the local school. A volunteer crew to plant the trees was organized by members of the Manor School Community Council.

The trees will provide a learning experience for the students who will be able to identify them by species and providing insight into the importance of green space and as well someday, future students will enjoy cooling off in the shade they will provide on hot days, while on recess or taking a break from the playing in the school yard during summer.

The trees consist of two each of Diablo Nine Bark and Dwarf Honeysuckle, and singles of Dogwood, Sage Leaf Willow, and a Golden Rod. Other recent improvements to the schoolyard are two play structures that were recently installed on June 24 by volunteers from the community and the donation of five helpful labourers from Vermillion Energy. The structures consist of a dome climber and a space station that were acquired from 1-Stop Playgrounds in Humboldt, SK.

On this weekend, residents and visitors can fish in any of Saskatchewan’s public waters open to sport fishing, no licence required.

“Free fishing weekend is a great opportunity to spend time outdoors to discover – or re-discover – the wonderful angling opportunities our province offers,” Environment Minister Dustin Duncan said. “In Saskatchewan, you can stay close to home while enjoying some of the best freshwater fishing in the world.”

During free fishing weekend, all other fishing regulations remain in effect. As well, anglers must respect current public health orders and guidance to help prevent further spread of COVID-19. Travel restrictions may be in effect for some areas, so please check your destination before leaving home.

Free fishing weekend does not apply in national parks. Anyone planning on taking fish out of the province must purchase a licence.

More information about fishing in Saskatchewan, including the 2020 Anglers Guide and updates about angling during the pandemic, is available at www.saskatchewan.ca/fishing.

1933 - 2020

Raymond Harvey McNeil, resident of Calgary, Alberta, formerly of Redvers, Saskatchewan, passed away suddenly on June 27 at Foothills Hospital at the age of 86 years.

He was born on July 26, 1933 in Arcola, Saskatchewan. His dad being a principal, meant they lived in many different communities throughout his childhood-Yellow Grass, Biggar, and Redvers to name a few. His love of music started early. He would sneak his dad’s saxophone and play for hours. When the Smilin’ Johnny Band came to Redvers he played a tune with them, after which they asked him to travel across Canada. He would stop into various schools along the way to write his Grade 11 exams. He was also a very talented curler. At 17 years of age, he won the Grand Aggregate Curling Championship beating out several more established curlers. That created quite a buzz!

His life changed forever when he tripped a pretty, young blonde on the school steps.

Ray and Ivy were married on October 2, 1953. Ray lived a busy life helping in raising 6 redheads, farming, participating in the local Elk association, and supporting his musical talent. He played with several different bands developing many music friends. He passed on his musical talent to family members who also found joy in a sweet melody.

It may not have been his country music style, to which he made sure that you knew “anything not country wasn’t really music.

He will be remembered as a man on a mission. Everything he did was with “genius” focus, determination and zeal. He solved the Rubic’s cube in 14 moves, made his Saxophone play by itself with an inserted computer chip, before most people knew what a computer was, and when trials came his way, he became a role model in perseverance, discipline and courage to overcome.

He retired to Redvers in 1985, and to Calgary Westman village in 2018. Even through years of heart issues and surgeries, he continued to live a full life, giving leadership at the Golden Age Center, playing music, tinkering with gadgets, and in recent years giving rides on his scooter, feeding great-grandchildren cookies before supper and going adventuring everywhere at Westman Village and even further in Calgary on his scooter. He had a big smile and tender, yet feisty spirit.

He summarized his life well in a song he wrote called Ray’s One -Man Band. “I like to entertain you; it makes me feel so good to see you laugh and enjoy yourself like everybody should. I never made the big time, but I always had the beat. If I ever meet in heaven, with all my music friends, we will jam those pearly gates and hope it never ends.”

He will be sadly missed: By his wife: Ivy Leona (Dangstorp) McNeil; by his sisterin-law Yvonne (Russill) McNeil: Children: Ben and Donna (McNeil) Klaassen; Dallas McNeil, Ray and Debra (McNeil); Dwaine and Kathy (Bourgon) McNeil, Dean and Teresa (Okyere) McNeil; Mike and Deltra (McNeil) Powney; and several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

He is predeceased by his parents, Victor and Catherine (Rae) McNeil and his siblings: Gordon and sister Vicky (McNeil) Merrifield, Dick and sister Merlice (McNeil) Metzger; brother Don McNeil and daughter-in-law Nancy (Mott) McNeil (wife of Dallas). A memorial service will take place on July 26th, (what would have been his 87th birthday) for immediate family members. Miss you dad. Thanks for all you taught us about life and living.

No words we write can ever say How much we miss you every day.

As time goes by the loneliness grows, How we miss you nobody knows.

We think of you in silence and often speak your name, But all we have are memories and photos in a frame.

No one knows our sorrow, Rarely have they seen us weep, But the love we have for you Is in our hearts to keep.

We’ve never stopped loving you, We know we never will.

Deep inside our hearts, You are with us still.

Heartaches in this world are many, But ours are worse than any.

Our hearts still ache as we whisper low, “I love you and I miss you so.”

Love always, Philip, Sarah, Norma, Lee, Renae, Ramona 9-1

Fire destroys Ogy’s hamburger and chip stand

By Kellly Johnson The Observer A fire that started just prior to midnight on June 29 destroyed the popular hamburger stand that had operated as Ogy’s just outside the White Bear Resort for the past 20 years plus.

The alarm was called in at 12:20 a.m., June 30, to the Carlyle and R.M. #63 Fire and Rescue who responded to the call.

RCMP and White Bear security were on the scene shortly after midnight, alerting the occupant who was sleeping on the premise. Also assisting to help combat the blaze, was Classic Water Hauling.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.

The White Bear Resort was experiencing power outages at the time and thunder and lightning were present as there was a severe storm watch in the surrounding area.

The fire looks to have started in the original building once known as James Bay Inn. No one was available to assess the total damage to the structure, which looks to be a total loss. No damage was caused to any of the outlying structures, which include an ice cream stand and mini-golf.

There was no report of any injuries. Carlyle and R.M. 63 Fire and Rescue were back in service at 3:11 a.m.
