Freitag brothers inducted into Hall of Fame Mary Moffat

marymoffat@sasktel.net

Edwin Freitag of Alameda and his brother Hubert of Carlyle, were both inducted into the Canadian Western Agribition Hall of Fame on April 10. 2019.

Edwin, born in Outram SK, started showing horses at Western fairs in 1944, and made his first trip to the Royal Winter Fair in To-

ronto in 1950. That year, Harold Clark of Meadow Brook Farms, Rochester, Michigan, asked his father if he could spare a boy and so he helped Harold at the Royal and in 1951, following his Confirmation into the Lutheran Church, he left for Michigan, by bus, to work at Meadow Brook.

For the next 10 years he would show horses for his Dad at Western summer fairs from Manitoba

to BC and then travel to Michigan to take in the State Fairs in the Midwest US. In 1961 he became a permanent resident of the US and in 1962 married Roberta Bowman, from a Belgian family in Indiana. They left Meadow Brook later that year and Eddie began a fiveyear stint driving ponies for Victor Comptomoter. Six hackneys were hitched to a miniature hook and ladder fire wagon and driven into an arena as fast as possible.

Following the time with Victor, Eddie was once again showing Belgians, this time for Albert Stankewitz of Armada, MI. From 1971-1972 he went to St. Louis, MO, where he was in charge of the breeding stallions for Budweiser, and made shoes and shod the eight-horse hitch of Clydesdales that pulled the famous Budweiser Wagon.

During this time, Roberta recalls living upstairs in the barn, in a small two-bedroom apartment, where they often had company and with small children, the living room area housed many a guest. One of her favourite stories began with the tours offered for free at the Barnhof, where folks could ride in wagons through the

Eddie to hitch up a team of six mules to a cart and accompany him, his son and a friend on a tour through the estate. The reins were turned over to Eddie and shortly af-

ter, they came upon a herd of buffalo blocking the path.

Weather for the week . . .

Friday, May 3 ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Your emotions can be overwhelming, Aries.

This encourages you to share your softer side with others. Embrace this sense of openness and others will reciprocate.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Make the most of others’ cooperative spirits to get things done, Taurus. It is always good to advocate for yourself, but more effective when others are receptive.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Focusing too much on one thing is not healthy, Gemini. It is better to diversify your thinking and surround yourself with as many ideas and perspectives as possible.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 A coworker may need your assistance in the weeks to come.

You are ready and willing to put in the extra effort to help this person with no strings attached.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Focus on the positive things this week, Leo. Forget about what could go wrong. With the right mindset, you can accomplish anything you want.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You are always willing and able to help a friend out, Virgo. That will prove true once again this week when a loved one calls you

up and needs a shoulder to cry on.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Lately you have been a rock that others lean on, Libra. This is a good role for you, as you are compassionate but also fair.

Just make sure you take care of yourself as well.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, just when you think you have everything figured out, a new challenge presents itself.

Seek a second opinion to work it out if this nut proves tough to crack.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 A new idea could spark a big change in your life, Sagittarius.

Are you ready for the adventure that is going to ensue? Look to others to join in the good times.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, many challenges have been coming your way, and you have handled them like a champion. Spend a little time pampering yourself as a reward.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, when others test your patience, find a healthy way to blow off some steam. Enlist the help of a fun-loving friend to get away for a little bit.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 For single Pisces, a new romance could be on the horizon. If you are attached, the romance may be kicked up a notch.

From Front page - Freitag brothers While Eddie was content to wait patiently for the buffalo to move on, his passengers were not, and he was instructed to drive around the buffalo. Unfortunately, the buffalo were all bulls, encircling a female and her calf, who became distressed by the cart passing by and the next thing Eddie knew the buffalo were stampeding towards the wagon. The mules wasted no time getting out of the way, careening about in a wild manner, with Eddie trying to get them back under control. After a close call on the edge of the ravine, and a near miss with some trees, calm was restored and they made their way back to the Barnhof. Eddie then went to work with Belgians for J.M. McKeehan of Greencastle, IN. When his father passed in 1975, Eddie returned to the family farm and continued successfully showing Belgians there. He made many trips to Calgary, Weyburn, Arcola, Alameda, Regina Buffalo Days, Yorkton, Toronto and Agribition.

He served on the horse show committee for Buffalo Days and was instrumental in the forming of the South East Saskatchewan Draft Horse Association. This group held a colt sale each fall for many years and benefited the PMU

producers in the area.

Also formed under his guidance was the North American Belgian Championship show, which is held every four years, alternating between venues in Canada and the US. He served as President of the Canadian Belgian Association from 1982-1989, as well as other organizations. He received the Saskatchewan Livestock Association Scroll in 2002.

Over the years Eddie judged many prominent shows in the US and Canada and only retired from judging when his sons began showing for other people.

While he enjoyed showing at Agribition, it was always difficult to keep the horses at top condition, as they often had started to grow their winter hair. The fellowship with other breeders made it worth the effort and a great way to end the season.

While Eddie was unable to attend the ceremony due to his battle with Parkinson’s disease, he is proud of his medal and humbled by the honour bestowed upon him.

Hubert Freitag, grew up in Alameda and attended the School of Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan.

His father started in purebred horses in 1944 and in 1948 he showed for the first time at the

Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, Ontario. Hubert spent some time working in Ontario, and you can imagine both his and my surprise, while chatting in the waiting room at a local dealership, to discover that despite the age gap, we shared memories of the same people. I grew up in Stayner, Ontario and as we chatted, he told me that he had worked in that area with draft horses. I replied that the only draft horse owners I knew were the Beattie brothers and Hubert grinned widely as he told me that he had worked for them. I then learned that working with the Beattie brothers had given Hubert some experience and interest in the PMU business, something I had never heard of until I moved to Carlyle in 1999.

After Hubert returned home, there was an information meeting on PMU farming in Brandon, and he was first in line to sign up!

Hubert started his PMU in fall of 1966 and was in the business for 28 years. Over that time there were a great many changes in the collection and storage of pregnant mare urine.

In the early days a tin can was attached to a long stick and you leapt into action, catching the stream in the can and pouring it into an Irish pickle barrel. Later there

What is Custom?

“Custom;” m;” what does that really mean? Well Well, we all kind of know what it means, but is it really crystal clear? Do we really grasp the reason it’s better? The first thing most people think when they hear “custom” is that it’s expensive, and that is such a misconception! It does not always cost more to get what you really want. It just means that you get what you really want.

It always amazes me that people will sit down to buy a new vehicle, and wheel and deal on the options and price.

A photo of the Budweiser Clydesdale horses which were part of the breeding program Eddie Freitag was responsible for. were web harnesses and then rubber elastic sling to collect and refrigerated stainless steel tanks for storage. The PMU was then shipped to Brandon where 1000 gallons made one ounce of estrogen powder.

In 1971 Glen Osborne, Chris Sutter, Hubert Frietag and the editor of the Redvers paper, approached Agribition board with a schedule for a draft horse competition, and in 1972 they held their first show. It wasn’t until 5 years later when there was more barn space that they had the next competition. The first year they held a halter class and later went to a full slate of classes

from

ing Massey Harris Day. Hubert says it was quite a surprise to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, although during 30 years of volunteering he had spent a lot of time travelling to meetings and shows. One of his biggest moments was being the Ring Master When Grant MacEwen was a judge. MacEwen wrote 45 books, was Dean of the U of S, ended up in Edmonton in government, was mayor of Calgary and Lieutenant Governor of Alberta.

MacEwen asked Hubert if his Dad had a horse that he could write a story about and Peggy is now memorialized in the book Memory Meadow on page 213.

really want? It would make the purchase soooo much more satisfying, don’t you think??

So, when we talk custom in the home design and furnishings world, I always tell my clients, choosing what you really want and what works in your space is well worth the wait.

If you are working with a skilled professional that can show you all of your colour options and help you put things together, you will be very happy you did. From figuring out how you fill his wish list with a big puffy Michelin man chair in the same room that your sleek, stylish sofa is going to go; we can make different configurations really suit your room.

Going custom is the way to make you 100% satisfied in your finished look. It also makes the end result unique to YOU...

And isn’t that what we all want? Something that is YOURS? We can help you coordinate and complement that beautiful new flooring that you just put in, or the custom cabinetry you just chose, by finding just the right stain for your new dining room furniture or a solid wood bedroom set with an upholstered headboard. Custom choices make it all flow together and create balance in your home.

It can also let you sleep better when you know you really want that exact sofa and chair that you sat in at your neighbors at the game last weekend, and all we have to do is pick a different cover. They will never find out!

So ‘till next time, it’s That Girl Shannon saying: “Knowing what you want can be a challenge, but getting what you want is....... priceless!”

Abortion issue haunts Ottenbreit, Sask. Party

By Murray Mandryk There are a few things we should all know about Rural and Remote Health Minister Greg Ottenbreit, his personal beliefs on abortion and how they may apply to his job.

Greg Ottenbreit is truly one of the most gracious, decent people you will meet in politics.

He is a devout man and sincere. Sadly, the two don’t always go hand in hand in politics or it life.

But in case of the Yorkton MLA, they truly do.

Furthermore, if his colleague like Health Minister Jim Reiter suggests that Ottenbreit hasn’t so far allowed his personal beliefs on issues like abortion to get in the way of his duties, we should likely give Ottenbreit the benefit of the doubt.

But while it’s always better to have a good guy represent you in your riding and in cabinet, it isn’t necessarily enough.

It’s critical that an MLA and, especially, and one serving as a minister, remember that they are there to represent all people.

And this is where Ottenbreit has chosen a bad path in the abortion debate, perhaps sending false expectations to the pro-life movement of which he is member.

Problems started for Ottenbreit last month because of comments he made at the annual gathering of the Saskatchewan Pro-Life Association in his hometown last month.

There remains some question as to whether he was there to bring greetings on behalf of the government representative (which the Saskatchewan Party government says wasn’t the case) or there as a dutiful MLA supporting this cause.

Whatever the case, Ottenbreit crossed a “small line”, according to Premier Scott Moe, by suggesting he would “continue to do what I can in my professional capacity” to address the abortion issue.

Later, Ottenbreit suggested he was only talking about his “professional capacity” as an MLA representing his constituents, but this answer would seem unsatisfactory.

Ottenbreit knows that individual provincial MLAs can do very little in “professional capacity” to address abortion issues.

There are many pro-lifers in the Sask. Party government, including Moe, but the official policy of the governing party is that it respects the federal law permitting abortions in this country.

What everyone, and especially Ottenbreit, would know full well that any influence in his “professional capacity” would involve very specific matters in the abortion debate controlled by provincial jurisdiction.

One such matter would be providing universal coverage for the costs of Mifegymiso, the so-called abortion drug that can terminate pregnancies up to nine weeks. While the Saskatchewan government approved this drug two years ago, this province is one of only two jurisdictions refusing to pay for its public funding medicare.

This is a matter that Ottenbreit is now addressing in his “professional capacity”, as the Sask. Party continues to debate covering the $300 cost of the drug.

As rural and remote health minister, Ottenbreit would have direct input in this decision. We also know that his hometown Parkland Pro-Life Association is on a very specific letter writing to campaign to stop any public funding of this drug, again, something the province can do.

But lest anyone be left with the impression that Pro-Lifers are happy with Ottenbreit and the Sask.

Party government, the Yorkton MLA says he now feels he is caught in the middle between the pro-life and pro-choice movements.

There is no “small lines” on the abortion question.

And how displeased pro-lifers may be is evident with talk of them moving their support to the Progressive Conservatives.

This isn’t a threat likely to cost Sask. Party MLAs seats, but the pro-life vote was likely a factor in the Sask. Party leadership.

Ottenbreit appears to have gotten himself and his governing party in a bit of mess over the abortion issue.

No need to be the belle of the ball In April, TIME magazine released its annual list of the 100 most influential people around the world. As always, some choices were highly praised, others heavily criticized. Those making the list this year fall into one of five categories: pioneers, artists, leaders, icons and titans.

Some names I expected to find, others were unfamiliar to me so as I read a bit more I conShelley Luedtke sidered how far reaching their presence might be. If they are indeed the most influential people in the world, does their influence extend to me? Have I been impacted by these pioneers, artists, leaders, icons and titans?

The reach of an activist, athlete or actor often extends beyond the work they do on any given project, but too often we allow these individuals to set the pace for cultural expression and societal change. We let someone with a talent for songwriting become a role model to teenagers; or we turn athletes into idols simply because they are skilled at throwing a pass or hitting a ball. And certainly we give those who have made a lot of money a greater stake in the global conversation, but have we questioned the tactics…or ethics…behind some of their agendas?

There’s little doubt the way we entertain ourselves, travel, do business or communicate have been impacted by the individuals who made the list, but the people who have been the greatest influencers in my life aren’t those who are interested in how I make or spend my money, but rather have invested in developing my character and building a set of values.

I started writing down the names of the Top 10 influencers in my life but quite quickly revised that to the Top 25, and I continue to make additions. Several spots belong to members of my family, but beyond that is a collection of people whose imprint on me is unmistakable.

Like the softball coach I have written about before. We were in a championship game, playing on

one of the “big diamonds” in our small city—and the game was going well for us. In the 5th inning he pulled me. He knew I had been experiencing knee problems and he didn’t want me taking too much of a risk and causing injury. I was so disappointed, but in that one act of caring he demonstrated there was a bigger picture to think about and he didn’t want me having to pay the price for falling into a win-at-allcost trap.

There was the university professor who handed out semester-end evaluation forms and told us that although they could certainly be done anonymously he challenged us to be accountable for our speech.

In what emerged as a culture of computer trolls cowardly shielding themselves behind a wall of anonymity I am grateful for people who take responsibility for what they say—and those who encouraged us to do so.

There was the high school teacher who used a situation to teach us that refusing to speak up for what was right made us complicit with those doing wrong and we were reminded that staying in the good favour of those who would do something against our character is a shallow way to live.

The list goes on…the parents of a good friend who epitomize hospitality, the piano teacher who allowed me to be unconventional, my grade 4 Sunday School teacher, a Fine Arts professor, a pastor, cherished friends and so many others who taught me about generosity, encouraged creativity, mentored me in my faith, and nurtured my love of learning.

Those named to the Time 100 list were feted at a spectacular gala. Those on my list were lucky if they got so much as a thank you card from me. Most didn’t. Some would be surprised they were on my list. But they aren’t the kind of people who would seek accolades anyway. The best influencers know that the greatest joy is not what they may receive in return, but what they gave out to affect someone’s life.

They may not be the beau or belle of the ball, but they are shaping the character of the culture, and that is the best influence of all.

That’s my outlook.

Financial Focus Managing Your Money

The real way to build an emergency fund It’s an unsettling fact: most Canadians don’t have money put away for an unexpected event.

If that sounds like you, don’t stress out because building an emergency fund is not an impossible task – here’s how to do it.

How much? So, how much should you have in your emergency fund?

Ideally, your fund should equal three to six months of your take-home salary but at the very least, you should save enough to cover your basic needs, like buying food and paying the household bills.

How to? An adequate emergency fund won’t happen overnight – build it steadily, progressively and as aggressively as your finances will allow by:

• Determining how much you need in your emergency fund and how long it will take you to reach your goal based on a realistic monthly contribution.

• Authorize automatic monthly payments from your chequing and/or paycheque account to your emergency fund account.

• Trim unnecessary monthly bills by eating out less often, by setting up a carpool or using public transportation, or by reducing household costs and putting that money into your fund.

• When you get a bonus or an unexpected tax refund, don’t blow it all on a vacation. Instead, put some into your emergency fund and perhaps into an RRSP.

How not to? Even if you have a line of credit, you still need an emergency fund. Drawing on a line of credit increases your debt and whatever you buy with it will cost even more because of the interest you’ll pay. Plus, getting too comfortable with one kind of debt can snowball into other types – like credit card debt, which is extremely expensive. That’s why it’s always better to pay for emergencies with cash on hand.

And don’t be tempted to use that emergency fund for a vacation or another impulse purchase. It’s for true emergencies only!

How to make it grow?

Turn your emergency fund into a high interest savings account, investment

in a money market mutual fund, or a redeemable guaranteed investment certificate (GIC) that will protect your capital, earn some interest and let you withdraw your money quickly with little or no cost as needed.

Emergencies are a fact of life but you can cushion the effects when you’re financially prepared. Keep your financial life up and your stress level down by talking to your professional advisor.

Gluten intolerance: a brief introduction to celiac disease

Celiac disease is a type of autoimmune disease characterized by an inability to ingest gluten without causing damage to the small intestine. When people with celiac disease eat foods containing wheat, barley or rye — grains that contain the protein gluten — they may experience serious digestive problems (such as diarrhea, abdominal cramping and bloating) and a range of other possible short-term and longterm health effects.

Left untreated, celiac disease can lead to additional serious health problems, including Type 1 diabetes,

multiple sclerosis, anemia, osteoporosis, infertility and miscarriage, migraines, epilepsy and intestinal cancers.

If you suspect you have celiac disease, visit your doctor and request a blood test. If the results come back positive, you’ll be referred to a gastroenterologist for a small bowel biopsy to test tissue from your small intestine for damage.

There are no medications for curing celiac disease or relieving intestinal symptoms, but the condition is treatable by removing gluten from the diet.

When you’re diagnosed with celiac disease, you

should schedule an appointment with a registered dietitian to help you map out a dietary plan. In order to eat gluten free, you’ll need to avoid not just wheat products, but also rye, barley and oats.

You also need to watch out for foods that you’re less likely to think of as containing wheat such as ketchup, soy sauce, canned soups and gravy. Make sure to read food labels carefully for possible gluten content.

Luckily, there are many gluten-free products available on the market these days — you can even buy gluten-free beer!

However, no charges and although one was arrested, they were held only long enough for a sober responsible individual to take custody of the youth. We would rather keep people out of custody and will spend quite a bit of effort to find an alternative to gaol.

We all know breakups can be difficult. Add children, pets, a recreational vehicle or, well, let us just say difficult.

The Police do not want to get involved, however, we do quite frequently.

Our advice is to “take the high road”. Don’t show disrespect for your ex around the children, don’t phone, text, e-mail or attend the residence of the ex continuously.

Don’t just think you can walk in your home if you are not living there because if your ex gets the house like all the country songs say they do, it is their primary residence, so you no longer have the right to just walk in, even if you are still paying the bills. Try to show respect and compassion and “suck it up” because if we get involved someone will likely get charged and that is not good for anyone, especially the children or the pet, like really, if you are the one that takes care of the pet and walks the pet who will do so if you are in gaol.

If you have a rental property please make sure you get a damage deposit. Thus, if someone damages your property or takes say a wash-

er and dryer you will not be left without recourse.

Although we know the previous renters likely stole the washer and dryer it is a little more difficult to prove.

An individual was intoxicated and causing problems at a residence and previous to the arrival of members they were transported to another residence “To sleep it off” We had someone knocking on doors where they should not have been knocking on doors. Unfortunately patrols did not locate any suspects.

An intoxicated individual was causing problems in a residence and left upon the RCMP being called. This individual was found by the members walking home. However, unfortunately due to his anger and level of intoxication, members arrested the individual and they were lodged for the evening.

Loud music resulted in Members asking for an individual to turn down the music. This resolved the issue, however, at 4 am Members had to make a patrol to another residence in another community to deal with a similar call. Apparently, and this is not determined from a scientific study, it appears the more you drink, the louder you need to turn up the music so you can hear it.

As much as I like geese, especially Canada Geese, they can be a nusiance. Unfortunately, someone felt the need to vandalize several goose deterrent lights, a motion sensor light and a goose cannon at Moose Mountain Provincial Park.

Members are investigating another assault where one of the individuals is wanted

by Correctional Services for being Unlawfully at Large. We will continue to investigate the assault and try and clear up the

warrant.

We are assisting another Detachment in clearing up one of their warrants. If you move to start anew or fresh you can’t do so without taking care of your warrants.

If you are a business be very careful in the manner you pay bills.

Across Canada fraud artists are now pretending to be people or businesses that one would normally do business with and asking for payments. This has happened to a local business and unfortunately there is not much that we can do.

An intoxicated individual showed up at the residence of a family member trying to act tough and push their weight around. This individual was literally thrown out of the residence when a BB gun was noted in their belt.

The BB gun fell out and the Police were called. The individual was arrested and lodged and the BB gun destroyed. No charges were desired by the complainants.

We did have a success where an individual fraudulently used another persons credit card.

The business called a business down the highway and tipped them about the concern which resulted in an arrest by our colleagues in Manitoba. Two individuals are now facing charges in Alberta, Saskatchewan and friendly Manitoba.

A bird hit some power lines which caused a fire on Highway 13 near Forget. This involved Department of Transportation, the RCMP, SaskPower and Fire Crews to bring to a successful conclusion.

Please do not start any fires, not even if you think you are prepared.

Cornerstone Theatre never ceases to disappoint

By Mary Moffat marymoffat@sasktel.net Cornerstone Theatre Group wove its magic again this past weekend, with two dinner theatres April 26 and 27, and a matinee April 28, to the delight of theatre goers.

A delightful comedy, set in a lakefront home, featured the story of two couples, both hired to house sit for a month. While the first couple to arrive, Ivy and Phillip Julian (Denise Singleton and David Slykhuis) are older, and a little staid.

The second couple, Sunshine and River (Bryanne Forcier and Monte McNaughton), are young, vegan, new age and very free spirited. Throw in Nelson Bombay, a quirky man training to be a game show contestant (Fred Perry) and his somewhat flirty, sexually frustrated wife, Joy (Bertha Isleifson); three sisters doing a renovation at the lake

house and a mysterious PJ and you never know quite what might happen!

While all of the cast were fantastic, Kyle Bye stole the show as the mysterious PJ, aka Parker John, who sauntered about throughout the play, unobserved by the house sitters. Since his hosts were convinced the feeding schedule they had been given was for a cat, PJ regularly found a wonderful bowl of tuna salad hidden around the house. While the two couples learned to live with each other, there were definitely some tension between them, particularly amongst the gentlemen. Throw in a contractor, Mitzi Cheshire (Debbie Sorensen) and Amos (Craig Saville), her ex-husband with “benefits”, a sister, Noelle Cheshire (Laurie Fornwald), who belongs to an order that vows chastity, and a third sister, Onie Cheshire (Wendy McNaughton), who is very simple-minded, and you have a laugh-filled evening of entertainment.

While the homeowner, Joanna Birman (Candy Bye) along with Amos, are only on stage for a brief time, they play their parts to perfection. With laughter, some grief, and intrigue, the cast and crew wend their way to a happy ending.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the wonderful meal prepared by Shelley and David Slykhuis, who donated their time and services to make the entire evening a successful fundraiser for the Cornerstone Theatre Group.

If you have yet to attend a production, I hope I have whetted your appetite to the point that you will be first in line for tickets to the next production.

A first for the Kenosee Theatre Group

By Mary Moffat marymoffat@asktel.net An idea that has been talked about for three years is finally coming to fruition, and it will be a very welcome addition to the community of Kenosee Lake. The very first production of the Moose Mountain Players will be held at the Rec Hall, Moose Mountain Provincial Park May 10th and 11th.

Evelyn Cullum joined the Cornerstone Theatre in 1985, Terri Field was a prompter and Heather Vermeersh was also part of the group, and while they really enjoyed it, travelling back and forth didn’t mesh well with busy lives. This was one of the reasons they are excited to be taking part in this new venture, the Moose Mountain Players. There is a great deal of talent in the Kenosee area and when you attend their first production, you will discover just how much.

D.K. Molar: the Devious Dentist by Billy St.

John, Pioneer Drama Service, Inc is a farcical melodrama set in the 1950’s and promises to bring intrigue and laughter. Cast and Crew include Robyn Roy, Ian Laird, Heather Vermeersh, Terri Field, Brenda Daku, Gerard Hengen, Evelyn Cullum, Ron Bennet, Ben Dubois, Jeff Morton and Geri Laird.

Both evenings are planned as a Pub Night with Cocktails at 7 pm and the performance at 8 pm so no minors are allowed. Snacks and appetizers will be provided both evenings along with adult beverages for purchase. Tickets are $20 and are limited quantities so be sure to stop by the Kenosee Inn, or the Kenosee MiniMart to get yours or speak to cast members. All funds raised will stay in the Kenosee community, being used to help the Moose Mountain Players purchase props, costumes, sound and technical equipment, and also to make improvements to the Rec Hall stage area and in future the building itself.

Visiting with Gary and Brenda Junk during the Easter Weekend were daughter Kara Junk and granddaughter Morgan Applegate (Sylvan Lake, AB). They also visited with Grandma Dot Girard in Carnduff and helped Grandma Rose Junk celebrate her 95th birthday at the farm of Jason and April Junk.

Also in attendance for Rose’s celebration were all of her children, and some of her grandchildren as well as some great-grandchildren.

Happy Belated Birthday Rose from the Alida/Auburnton area – may you have many more happy celebrations.

Morgan Applegate spent the week of Spring Break with her grandparents Gary and Brenda Junk and visited with other family members, flying back home to Sylvan Lake on April 27.

Just received notice last night the Alfie Jensen, Redvers (formally of Alida) had passed away April 28 at the age of 90 years. Sincerest sympathy is extended to the Jensen family.

The Alida Rec Board members are busy putting their head together and planning events for their Sports Day. There will be a Slo-pitch Tournament, a bouncy castle, concession booth, and a beer garden. Call Shandi (306-482-8734) or Lynette (306-485-7121) to enter your Slo-pitch ball team. Hope we will see you around Alida on that weekend.

Activity around Alida will be the Town Wide Garage Sale and the Alida Sports Day – both near the end of May – so keep your eyes and ears open for notices in paper or on Facebook or posted on posters around town.

Things have been fairly quiet in and around Alida – that means for happening events. Otherwise it’s busy as heck with the farmers either busy getting ready for the field or in the mist of seeding. That reminds

me – do be careful out there guys with your big machinery.

What a surprise to wake up to see a white world outside – the weatherman was not very nice yesterday dumping snow and rain together with a strong wind. I guess one should expect to receive one last winter storm in the spring before spring is here to stay. The moisture is very much needed so guess we won’t complain too much – with the nice strong sunshine the snow won’t stick

around too long – just make things good and dirty again for a while.

Once again folks please remember to keep me posted on any happenings going on in and around Alida as well as within your family, either call me (306443-2496) or text (306485-8561) or e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel.net) appreciate all the input as it does help keep this column interesting.

Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and Take care.

Maryfield Villa Submitted by Janet Mark Welcome to Clifford Sheane of Moosomin, who has filled the last of our twenty rooms.

Dawn raked the flowerbeds in the courtyard and Ralph Mills celebrated his birthday by being the first person to sit out there.

Guests at his party were: Kyla, Jennifer, Kasper and Wendy Heidt; Roy Swanson and Newell Dixon, Moosomin; Francis and Beverley Sheard.

Wendy and Sherry visited Ruth Holstrom.

Easter weekend brought Alma Friesen’s granddaughter from Winnipeg. Liana is an 19051BS0

accomplished violinist and always gives a recital at the Villa. She has been accepted or University of Ottawa. Easter Sunday dinner brought crocuses with Philip Mark. Other dinner guests were: Joe and Shirley Blaise, Stacy Beutler, Richard and Sharon Beutler, Regina; John Burke, Regina; Joan Colborn,, Wawota, and Wendy Greenbank.

Charlotte Kovach brought a movie on Friday night. After church Easter Sunday she toured us around town, admiring the growth of tiny buds on the many different trees.

We also passed the site of last week’s water main break.

Circle of Friends this week featured Easter Memories. Grace remembered a time when their congregation enacted the Good Friday story with Jesus riding on a horse. Fred wrote an essay about Easter which won first prize. Many took part in Easter egg hunts. Violet had colored boiled eggs with crepe paper dipped in coffee. For many it was a time of family get togethers and church. Janet, her sister and cousin, had been in Coverntry cathedral, the church rebuild after being bombed in WWII. The wood had been salvaged for making chairs, rather than pews; and the bits of stained glass created a window of one chapel. The BBC choir was taping for Easter, and sang the Hallelujah Chorus. Mary Thiessen;s most beautiful memory was of an African American contralto she heard sing “Were You There When They Crucified My Lord”.

DRILLING REPORT

Friday, May 3, 2019

From Page 6 - RCMP report Too many grass fires are out of control in our Province and we sent two Members to assist Biggar.

My colleague in Moosomin also writes a weekly report and I have to give him credit for this tidbit of information. In Manitoba you get your licence suspended immediately and your vehicle towed if caught using your cell phone. If you find yourself headed into the ‘Toba, be aware.

An off duty Members observed someone cross the double solid lines and then cross the fog lines several times and called (via blue tooth) an on duty Member. The vehicle was pulled over and the driver was provided a warning. Apparently they were tired. If you are tired pull over a take a nap. You may be late, but you will get there.

A vehicle was stopped for an insecure load and the driver ended up getting a 3-day driving suspension due to their level of intoxication. Another individual was stopped for speeding and they too had too much alcohol in their system and received a 3-day driving suspension.

We had three further calls of erratic drivers, however, unfortunately we were unable to locate either. Not for a lack of trying. Maybe next time.

An individual hit a moose with their vehicle, or was it the moose hit the vehicle. We only got one side of the story being the moose did not hang around to give their side of the story.

Approximately 30 tickets were issued and approximately 50 warnings were issued over the last week.

Tickets were issued for no insurance - $580, drive without a licence - $150, fail to stop at stop sign - $230, fail to wear seatbelt - $175, fail to produce registration -$100, tail light fail to emit red light $115, drive left of centre

-$150 and most expensive speeding ticket was for $360 Warnings were issued for fail to yield right of way, careless driving, no insurance, fail to stop at stop sign, fail to wear seatbelt, inadequate windshield, insecure load, insufficient tail lights, window tint,

inadequate headlamps, drive without a valid licence, fail to have licence plate fully secured, and cause unnecessary noise with muffler.

Inspection notices were issued for window tint, inadequate windshield, repair tail lights, and inadequate headlamps.

One a day

By Linda Wegner One of the things I recall from years past is an advertising ditty that went like this: “A [something] a day keeps the doctor away”. I don’t recall what that something was but the lilt and the rhyme have continued, prompting these thoughts about influence.

If you’re like me you’ve sometimes pondered the influence of people who have swayed the politics, policies or population of countries locally, nationally and sometimes, globally. “How do they do it?”, we ask. “What’s the secret of garnering so much attention?”. Like you, I’m sure, there are those whom I admire greatly and others, well let’s just say the opposite is closer to the truth.

Being born into certain families or income classes certainly plays a role for some. For others, breakthroughs in science, education or entertainment ensure fame and often, fortune. For some, acts of heroism or bravery rightfully endorse them as worthy of praise. I’ve been thinking a lot about this, especially in light of the impossibility of my ever achieving world-wide recognition (not that I’ve ever wanted to!).

Here are my thoughts, based on a lovely phone call I received today: it just takes one daily act of kindness to lift the spirits of someone. Over the past three decades I’ve determined to encourage, cheer, reassure or even, on occasion, to have emboldened at least one person every day. I know by experience know how much those things have blessed me as much as they did the recipient.

“So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.”

I Thessalonians 5:11 (NLT) “Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word a gift.” Ephesians 4:29 (The Message) Who can you encourage today?

(Aah, I remember, it’s “an apple a day.”)

They will be in a new location this year at the Silver Threads Club, in order to seat more people.

This year’s play is entitled “Crazy Ladies” by Devon Williamson, a set at the site of a 25-year high school reunion of friends that doesn’t go quite as planned. Pay close attention because this play is full of twists and turns and dark surprises that asks the question “How well do you really know your Classmates?”.

The cast includes Janelle David, Wytt Hall, Amber Evans, Patti Baumgartner, Samantha Breault and Charlotte Widdifield; director – Doug Curtis, sound tech – Grant Bueckert and prompter – Richard Krehbiel.

May 10th and 11th the Dinner theatre will be catered by Cindy and Rylan Weir, with cocktails at 5:30, Dinner at 6:30 and the curtain will drop at 8:00. The matinee doors will open at 1, with the play beginning at 2 pm.
