Tracy Arnold has always loved hockey.

And thanks to her discovery of sledge hockey a few years ago, she is able to play the sport once again.

Now she’s taking her sledge hockey skills to a top level of the sport.

Arnold, a former Glen Ewen resident who now resides in Saskatoon, was one of three goaltenders selected by Women’s Sledge Hockey of Canada to be part of the national women’s para ice hockey team for the 2019-20 season. She is the first player from Saskatchewan to be selected.

“I went to an open tryout – it’s like a selection camp for the women’s national team this year – and I’ve been in contact with the coaches for approximately three years here. They have been giving me coaching and stuff, so they have been preparing for what to expect for the level of competition,” said Arnold.

The open tryout was a three-day gathering with two skills sessions and two games. The players were divided into two teams, Team Red and Team White.

It was also a good opportunity to get to know some of the players on the team and others who were trying out.

Arnold was an avid hockey player when she was growing up in southeast Saskatchewan. But when she was 12, her family was involved in a serious car accident that left her paralyzed due to an incomplete spinal cord injury.

A lot of her recovery happened with the support of her school and her family and friends in the southeast.

After the collision, and before she tried out sledge hockey, Arnold went into arm wrestling. She won national championships and even competed on the world stage, where she earned silver and bronze medals. While she is no longer a competitor, she is still actively involved with the sport.

“I just found out about five years ago that there was a sledge hockey team in Saskatoon, and I was interested in going and trying it out and getting back on the ice. That’s where it went. I was looking to expand for what I was doing sport-wise, and I was able to go back to my roots of playing hockey.”

Friday, Sept. 13 ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Delegation is the best way to complete a complicated project, Aries. Work with others to achieve a balance so you’re not doing it all.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Those who are always looking to the future may not fully embrace the present, Taurus. Focus fully on those things in your life that are meaningful right now.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Don’t get too caught up on your idea of perfect, Aquarius. If you spend too much time on the small details, you’ll overlook the magic of the bigger picture.

From Front page - Tracy Arnold When she played hockey as a youth, she played defence or left wing. Even in her first year of para-hockey, she patrolled the blue line.

“The next season, we were short goalies, so I thought I would give it a try, and I’ve been loving it ever since,” she said.

The goaltender position is very different in sledge hockey. For starters, she is in the sledge, so she can’t kick out a leg to stop a shot. She actually needs to move her whole body. When in goal, she sits about halfway in the net, so there is a lot of space above her to cover.

But there are similarities in terms of watching the puck and being conscious of angles when it’s heading towards the goal.

The best part of being a goalie is the demands it places on her individually while still playing a team sport.

“It’s very challenging mentally as well.

It can be one-on-one shots, or it can be two-

on-one, so it’s staying in the game and preparing for the angles. So I really do enjoy the mental aspect of it as well,” she said.

It’s a great feeling to know that she was the first Saskatchewan player to be named part of the team, and she is honoured to receive the distinction.

“I do feel like there’s more pressure now, which isn’t a bad thing,” she said.

Other Saskatchewan players would have been deserving as well, she said, but sledge hockey is still developing in this province. She hopes her selection to the national team will create more support for women or girls who are interested in trying out for Team Canada, or trying the sport for the first time.

It’s a growing sport in the province. Several teams for adults and youths exist in the province. The squads aren’t limited to the big cities; there are also adult teams in communities like Kindersley, Bru-

no and Cut Knife, and youth teams in Kindersley, Swift Current and Melfort.

“There’s a lot more awareness, and a lot more people joining the sport. And it’s open for able-bodied people as well to play it. What it does is it creates a level playing field for anyone able-bodied or who has a disability, so that everyone can play together.”

Arnold and the other members of Team Canada will be heading to Bridgewater, N.S., in October for the first training camp of the season, which will include an exhibition series.

In February, Team Canada will face off against the U.S. in British Columbia.

Arnold hasn’t been given an indication how much she will be playing. A starting goalie hasn’t been selected.

She’s looking forward to continuing to further her skills in the sport with Team Canada, and she is also excited to see the sport grow in this province.

Teachers reveal urban/rural divide

By Murray Mandryk What sets rural and urban Saskatchewan apart tends to be a re-occurring theme in this province.

There are simply differences between urban and rural needs and concerns. We need to recognize this.

And one of the bigger ones, one not much talked about, is the different challenges urban and rural teachers face.

Of late, what you have most likely been hearing is a lot of squabbling between the Saskatchewan Party government and NDP Opposition over dueling survey results on the needs in the education system.

The day students returned to school, NDP education critic Carla Beck demanded Education Minister Gord Wyant release the results of the government’s education survey.

At that particularly point, the government had only provided a summary of its own survey that the NDP complained “silenced the voices teachers”. By contrast, the NDP’s own survey conducted last June revealed massive teacher frustration with the current government.

“If the responses to the government’s survey look anything like the responses we received to our survey, there’s no wonder the Education Minister wants to bury them,” Beck said in a prepared statement that further noted “40 per cent of teachers have considered leaving the profession.”

There is no doubt that Saskatchewan education faces some very big challenges, especially in urban schools facing added pressures of overcrowded classrooms, students who have recently come to Canada and do not yet speak English and general pressures of urban life.

For example, the NDP survey suggested some 70 per cent of education assistants surveyed suggested they have witnessed or experienced violence every week or every day, a problem likely more prevalent in urban schools.

Interestingly, the government survey seemed to have a different emphasis, claiming that students wanted quality teachers and a quiet living environment, but were relatively unconcerned about classroom size.

The disparity can largely be found in the old adage that you get the results you want based on the kind of questions you asked.

While the government survey boasts of 9,000 participants neither it nor the Opposition survey can claim any scientific accuracy associated with polling.

Both sought out people willing to share their views.

In the case of the NDP people, its survey, unsurprisingly, seemed largely frustrated with the education system.

In the case of the Sask. Party government, it was people who might have had some concerns but perhaps had less of an axe to grind. Certainly, there was no attempt on the government’s part to drill down into incompatible notions like why students would say they aren’t concerned about class size when those very same students in large classrooms come home each night complaining about teachers not providing enough help or classrooms being too noisy and distracting.

And with the NDP’s emphasis on finding disgruntled teachers, its survey also seemed missed the mark.

However, the real missed opportunity here might have been the unwillingness to explore the legitimate differences faced by urban and rural teachers.

For example, classroom size isn’t generally an issue in rural schools where declining populations have afforded students more one-on-one time with teachers for decades.

Of course, the NDP and the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation don’t want to talk about this because it is a divisive issue within teachers’ ranks.

As a result, the STF would prefer to focus on more agreeable issues like wages or preparation time.

And the Sask. Party government certainly doesn’t want to talk much about because it leads to conversations about disparity and perhaps the amount of the education budget allocated to both rural urban schools.

These may be uncomfortable conversations, but it would still be helpful to have them. Or at least, they would be more productive than the recent duelling surveys.

We need to talk about rural/urban differences if we hope to address them.

Moving differently in the zone We were an excited group of fifth graders when we found out our principal was going to be on TV. Our elementary school was located on a very busy street in a city of about 15,000 people and the news story for which he was interviewed questioned whether the single flashing light at the intersection was enough to alert drivers and keep students safe as they Shelley Luedtke crossed the one-way street to get to the school grounds.

I crossed that street four times a day for five years, often with friends. We’d get to the end of the sidewalk, wait for vehicles to stop for us, and cross. The flashing light at the crosswalk wasn’t a deterrent to some of the drivers though, who simply sailed through. While little changed while I was still a student there, years later full-fledged traffic lights were installed, which I hope came as a result of continued advocacy and not heartbreaking tragedy.

A new poll by the Canadian Automobile Association found that 64% of us have witnessed dangerous driving practices in school zones including speeding, texting, failing to stop for school busses, and running stop signs. And while issues related to school zone congestion and improper drop-off or pick-up procedures are cited as problematic, most respondents point to drivers who “are in a hurry or are too rushed.”

More than 60 drivers in Saskatoon received a back to school lesson complete with hefty fines for school zone infractions day one of the new school year. On day two it was another 84. Regardless of signage, enforcement, and a hit to the pocketbook, the message is not being heeded. It would seem to be an important enough thing to do, so why aren’t we slowing down for our children?

For years, parents have been hearing that children are busier than they should be and they need to be on the lookout for detrimental effects; only to then be confronted by analysts saying this idea of the overscheduled child is a myth. Those behaviorists provided a supplementary list of

signs to look for to determine if a child needs more challenging activities to take part in.

Not to fear, all kinds of help is out there.

Calendars with color coded stickers to keep the whole family organized along with the caveat to keep open spaces open. Phone apps that provide necessary alerts so families arrive at practices, lessons or after school club on time. Charts with various faces of emotion that children can point at to help explain how they feel about various activities. Trackers that determine exactly how many minutes are devoted to each interest as a way of keeping things in balance. And so on and so on.

My children were like most others growing up; taking part in all kinds of activities. I couldn’t wait for them to start piano lessons because I was excited to share in their joy. My oldest took to it right away and I was convinced my youngest would eventually come around. It would just take time. I tried endless sessions of encouragement, humor, strictness, and cheerleading and kept my foot to the pedal believing we would turn a corner. Until one day when I slowed down and took time to pay attention. While she had her sports bag packed and by the door eager to go play on soccer days, she dragged her feet when it was time to head to the piano. So we switched gears.

She played more soccer, she also discovered a love of singing, and then went on to earn a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, something we never would have pursued had I not gotten out of the way.

Regina Public Schools issued a message explaining that their new 30 km school zone limit will result in quicker reaction time for drivers and add just seconds to the drive. The same holds true outside of those school zones. By easing up and taking a bit of extra time to listen to the children around us we will discover and be able to react helpfully to some pretty fascinating and precious people.

Children will take their cues from us. How we demonstrate interest in their growth, talents, wellbeing and safety, will have enormous impact on them; and just maybe, when we need them to, they will slow down one day for us as well.

That’s my outlook.

THE OBSERVER

RCMP weekly report Submitted by Staff Sgt. Darren Simons I imagine by now some of you have missed the weekly reports. Although I generally enjoy doing them, I enjoy time off more.

• We did not get any misdialed 911 calls over this long reporting period. Some may think this would warrant a submission to the TV series “Twilight Zone”. I just think we lucked out. We did get 8 false alarms, two that were directly linked to a storm. Mother nature beats technology every time.

• We did get one person who called 911 over their displeasure in the RCMP for arresting a member of their family. We warned them about the misuse of 911, however, we were not able to alleviate their concerns being the arrest was lawful and unlike TV we don’t have to show a warrant to arrest someone. Our neighbours to the south and Hollywood can make our job so much more difficult. Another individual called 911 because they could not find their bank card. This again is misuse of 911.

• We had numerous assaults and uttering threats investigations, including one involving children where an adult was charged for assault and resist arrest. I guess if you are so tough that you can assault children you think you are also so tough that you think you don’t have to comply with the direction of the Police. This individual was so wrong.

• You know how we all complain that a bird does its job on our vehicle just after we wash it or it rains just after we wash it. Well complain no more. How about the vehicle catches fire. More proof that it can always be worse. Fortunately with the assistance of fire extinguishers damage was minimal.

• Someone attempted to break into several business’s and damaged others. We had a suspect, however, we were only able to lay charges for businesses that had video. Let us just say this subject remains in custody and the crime spree has ended.

• A break in to a residence was reported, however, it was more of a relationship break up issue and Members mediated it to a somewhat positive outcome. Although there is always more to the story you generally can’t just lock your spouse out of the residence and then call the Police when they try and get back in to the residence. It does not matter who pays the bills, the mortgage, the car payments, when you are married or common law everything is mutually owned.

• Some people like to poke the bear. If you are on conditions of no contact with someone and you are also not be within let us say 100 metres of this same person don’t go near them. Now we do understand sometimes by chance one might accidentally breach this condition and we do use discretion, however, if it keeps happening someone gets charged.

• A customer complained that the proprietor of a business’s did something illegal to their property.

Unfortunately for the customer the proprietor of the business had video which showed the allegations to be totally false. Aggravating the situation was the customer almost got arrested causing a disturbance for swearing and screaming. Apparently, after all was said and done the customer bought a case of beer by way of apology. No charges, but a tough way to earn a case of beer for the business owner.

• People still choose to not attend court. We then get warrants for them, arrest them, and then they sometimes choose not to go to court again. The cycle continues. Sometimes we remand them in custody but generally they don’t stay in custody long. Again, blame our neighbours to the south and blame Hollywood if you choose to believe differently.

• Your spouse may stop arguing with you once they realize you have called the Police. That said, the Police will likely still come a calling to make sure all is OK. Just because you don’t want us to come anymore does not mean we won’t come. Remember you called us.

• If your employer or anyone gives you a cheque and you choose to change the amount that is against the law. Usually we go with uttering a forged document being that is easier to prove than trying to prove you forged it. Yes, this happens more than you think.

• We still get complaints of cheques that bounce.

If you don’t have to take a cheque don’t. Money Orders can also be forged, cash is usually reliable, however, take a photo of their ID and at least you will be able to confirm who they are if they choose to bounce a cheque. You can always talk to your bank and ask them what is the most reliable way to do business.

Generally they are up to date.

• You are a winner and all you have to do is send cash to pay for towing fees, transfer fees, registration fees.......wait, this is a fraud. If you win something, inherit something it does not cost you. Please do not trust this professional fraudsters.

• Although we are still getting vehicles vandalized by keys we know this will come to an end some time in the future being many cars don’t have keys per say anymore.

• Suspects damaged a residence which appears to be retaliation for those in the residence stealing from the suspects. Our investigation continues.

• When families don’t get along the Police often get involved. We are dealing with a lot of finger pointing and allegations, but remember folks. We need facts. An example would be I think so and so did it because that is the kind of person so and so is.

I want you to arrest them.

• An attempted fuel theft was reported. It happened in June and the caller needs a file number for insurance purposes? Another attempted fuel theft involved a former employee. The business owner did not want charges. A swather had approximately $150 worth of fuel taken from it and a camera was stolen from the Redvers landfill site.

• Members responded to a loud party complaint and it sure was quiet. We never did figure out where the party was. If you want us to come to a party you have to give us advance notice.

• An individual asked a second individual through social media to check on a third individual. That second individual chose to call the Police and upon our investigation it appears everything was OK. • Remember the song “Someone’s knocking at the door”? Well if you are knocking at the door and you are drunk don’t be surprised if you end up in gaol. You have to admit though, it is a good song.

• If you fall in love with an individual that just got out of custody and part of the romance involved you paying cash to bail them out of gaol, well it is not our problem when they leave you and now you no longer have a romantic interest or the money you used to bail your former romantic interest out of gaol. Unfortunately, not our problem.

• We had five impaired drivers arrested and two 72 hr suspensions. Some folks just don’t get it.

The cattle calls keep coming in. We had cattle loose all over the Detachment area. Not sure why they are all getting loose. Maybe because they think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence?

• We assisted Child Welfare on numerous occasions including one where an impaired driver was located with two children and two dogs in the vehicle. Child welfare took care of the children and we had to find a way to take care of the dogs being they could not remain in the vehicle being it was seized.

Samples of 100/ 90 mg% were obtained from the driver.

• An individual paid someone to borrow their vehicle. The individual happened to be impaired and provided samples of 200/190 mg%. The vehicle was seized and the driver charged. The owner was warned that they could be charged for Public Mischief being they tried to say the vehicle was taken without their permission.

• Another impaired driver tried to jump the ditch like the “Dukes of Hazard” and subsequently got arrested and provided samples of 180/200 mg%.

• An unauthorized driver was also found to be

impaired and provided samples of 130 mg%.

• Another driver was determined not to have a valid licence, however, they subsequently provided samples of 90/80 mg%.

• Still another driver was charged after providing samples of 110/90 mg%.

• One driver was speeding and got the speeding ticket and a 72 hr suspension while another received a warning for failing to stop at a stop sign and a 72 hr suspension.

• Members responded to collision involving a deer and motorcycle. Our dispatch read “There are injuries but no entrapment” Umm, deer and motorcycle, can you imagine if there was an entrapment?

• We had an ATV rollover which resulted in the injured operator being transported by STARS. • Old vehicles are nice to own and drive but they have to be roadworthy. One traffic stop resulted in inspection notices to replace windshield, repair licence plate lights, attach muffler to exhaust and repair burnt out headlight.

• In other traffic news, Members wrote 90 tickets and 100 warnings over the past 3 weeks.

Final service at Redvers Knox United Church Submitted by Graham James Chairperson, Knox United Church The Knox United Church congregation has a long history in Redvers, well over 100 years, redating the 1925 formation of the United Church of Canada. During that time, there have been many changes and evolutions, yet the Knox congregation itself was (and is) the constant. Like many congregations though, Knox has gotten smaller over the last 30 years, and that, in itself, has presented some challenges and opportunities. Working together with both the Manor United Church congregation and the Dannevirke Lutheran congregation of Redvers led to the formation of the Redvers Manor United Lutheran Shared Ministry in 2002.

This agreement allowed all three con-

gregations to share in the costs of a fulltime minister while also growing together based on our similarities and strengths as a community of faith and fellowship. While things have evolved since then, the Lutheran and United congregations of Redvers have worshiped together for nearly 17 years with a monthly rotation of services between the two church buildings.Over that time, we have strengthened our relationship between the United and Lutheran congregations of Redvers and (at multiple times) have discussed the idea of becoming a Shared Ministry all under one roof—in a single church.

The reality of the Shared Ministry under a single church roof has begun. Earlier in 2019, the Knox United Church AGM attendees and church council voted to list the Knox

On this day, Federated Co-op will donate $.05 per litre sold at the Oxbow C-store to the Bow Valley Jamboree. This donation will be matched by the Southern Plains Co-op, which means that $.10 per litre will be donated to the cause. These funds will help to continue to improve the festival held in July in the Bow Valley Regional Park. The Bow Valley Jamboree and their Volunteer committee believe that the commitments to the arts are vital to help grow a community. The Jamboree is an opportunity for anyone to come and enjoy a day of fun and music from both local and musicians across Canada. The diverse set of musicians and groups ensures that anyone can take part and enjoy their time at the festival.

On this day, Federated Co-op will donate $.05 per litre sold at Kensington C-Store and 4th Street C-Store in Estevan to Southeast Saskatchewan Search and Rescue.

This donation will be matched by the Southern Plains Co-op which means $.10 per litre will be donated to this worthy cause.

On this day, Federated Co-op will donate $.05 per litre sold at the Carlyle C-Store in Carlyle to the Carlyle Elementary School.

This will then be matched by the Southern Plains Coop, which means that $.10 per litre will be donated.

The Carlyle Elementary School is in need of updating their playground equipment. Several structures have been removed due to safety issues, therefore the structures need to be replaced. The entire community of Carlyle utilizes the playground, it is not just used during school hours. New playground structures would give the kids the opportunity to have fun playing and exploring on this new equipment for many years.

These funds will contribute to the organization’s financial needs,as well as, the equipment &supply requirements that are essentialto carry out search and rescue efforts.

We thank you for your SUPPORT!

the girls is this weekend in Broadview and Kipling. All the best!

Please wear an orange shirt on September 30. Orange Shirt Day is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission (SJM) residential school commemoration event held in Williams Lake, BC, Canada, in the spring of 2013. It grew out of Phyllis Webstad’s story of having her shiny new orange shirt taken away on her first day of school at the Mission, and it has become an opportunity to keep the discussion on all aspects of residential schools happening annually. The date was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools.

Picture Day is October 3.

Fitness club in the high school gym is open to all students and all levels of fitness are welcome. Fitness club runs from September to June every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 7:45 – 8:30AM. Get your day started right with some movement!

GFK is looking for

volleyball and basketball coaches. If you are interested, please contact Mr. Trent Johnson or Mr. Colin Wilson at the school (453-2500).

Remember, the School Community Council meets every 2nd Wednesday of the month at 7:00 P.M. in the school library. If you want to know what is going on at the school or have questions, please plan to attend. Your participation is necessary for our school’s success.

From Page 6 - Knox United Church Sunday, September 29th will be the final church service at the Knox United Church building on Broadway Street in Redvers, and it will be decommissioned as the official place of worship for the Redvers Knox United congregation. As Pastor Marja Hordern is on medical leave, the September 29th service will be led by Rev. Rob Reed. The decommissioning service will be held at 3 pm at Knox with a program and potluck to follow. The September 29th event will be a day to reflect, grieve, and celebrate all things that the church building means to our lives and church community. We encourage people who may have pictures of the church and congregation to share them with us for the program. You may send pictures (preferably scanned and converted to digital images) to rmulsm@sasktel.net Written and oral remembrances are also welcome.

With the exception of September 29th, Shared Ministry Church services in September, October and beyond will be held at Dannevirke Lutheran Church. October services will follow the United Church order of service while November will follow the Lutheran order of service. Each denomination will alternate using its order of service each month, so while all Sunday services will be held at Dannevirke, both the Lutheran and United Church styles of service will continue to be used and both congregations will continue their rich traditions as the Redvers United-Lutheran Shared Ministry continues to evolve since its formation in 2002.

Church services will remain at 10 a.m. each Sunday. All are welcome. For more information about the Shared Ministry check out the Redvers United-Lutheran Shared Ministry Facebook page or contact the church office at rmulsm@sasktel.net

Arcola School hosts back to school BBQ

By Mary Moffat

marymoffat@sasktel.net

On Thursday, Sept 5 the students of Arcola School, parents and the community came out to enjoy a barbecued hotdog or hamburger, juice and a doughnut. Secure Energy provided the barbecue and Taylor Hoey, who set it up and stayed to cook alongside Principal Ron Wardrope.

With Austin Davidson volunteering to carry the cooked burgers and dogs to the serving table, they made quick work of the long lineups of hungry people. Staff and students gave their time after school to set up tables and chairs and Plainsview Credit Union donated money to help

offset the cost of the food. Wendi Matthews, head of the School Community Council, was the organizer of the well-run evening. The SCC also had a table set up with school-branded clothing available for order, for those wishing to do so.

Besides the food, there were many community groups represented as well. The Guiding movement was well represented

by Aynslee Sararas and Jackie Perkins, who lead the older girls in Pathfinder and Rangers for girls in Grades 4 to 12.

They are looking for volunteers to help provide leadership to Sparks and Brownies for girls ages Kindergarten to Grade

3. Anyone who might be interested in taking on one of these groups can get contact information from the town office or apply on the Girl Guide website.

Teresa Johnston of Rising Hope Ranch was in attendance to share information about her Equine Assisted Learning program. The program creates an environment of learning through various obstacle courses with people and horses, developing life skills such as trust, self-confidence, active listening, teamwork, communication, respect and relationship building.

All in all, everyone had a lovely evening and it was a good way to start off the school year.

Jerri Laird is dedicated to her craft. The former Fine Arts teacher lives in Wawota and drives to Hamiota to attend the Art Club every week.

Although acrylic is her comfort zone, she is working on mastering watercolour. She was instrumental in the formation of the Artist Colony Art Retreat, along with Jacqui Beckett, Holly Dauvin, and Ken Fred-

erickson. They wanted to offer something similar to the retreat in Assiniboia and have hopes to eventually raise funds to build more cabins at the Art Colony in Kenosee.

By David Willberg Estevan Mercury The World Skills competition was an incredible experience for Ryan Folk, one that he expects will serve him well in his career.

Folk, who is originally from Stoughton, represented Canada in the electrical installations category at World Skills in Kazan, Russia, from Aug. 22-27.

While he didn’t medal at the global event, he still put forward an excellent showing that demonstrated his abilities while going against some of the best young people in the world in his field.

The week in Russia began with a chance to unwind, recover from the jetlag and sightsee around Kazan. World Skills planned some excursions and tours around the city.

“We went to an elementary school, and spent some time with some kids there, and hung out with them and talked about Canada and Russia,” he said in an interview with Lifestyles.

Opening ceremonies were held Aug. 22, and then the competition ran from Aug. 2326. Medals were handed out at the closing ceremonies Aug. 27.

In the electrical installations division, the competitors were assigned a project they had to complete. It was a general install with different electrical components with raceways, cabinets and wiring methods.

“Mixed in, most of it was automated with a home automation system, and there was also some motor control and a smart relay control,” said Folk.

He admits it’s hard to explain the project to

someone who isn’t from an electrician’s background, but it was fairly intricate, which is to be expected at the world championship level.

“It was a fairly difficult project to complete in the time that they gave us,” said Folk.

The project he had to complete was more difficult than the one from Skills Canada nationals in May. “There’s no home automation at our nationals, and just learning that is a challenge in itself. And then just with the different type of materials and all that kind of stuff that they want us to use, it’s way harder,” said Folk.

The level of competition was much tougher, too, not just in his event, but the other trades.

“Especially from a lot of the Asian countries, they had some pretty solid guys, and you could tell from the closing ceremonies.

They placed in a lot of categories,” said Folk.

At one point, he said it was somewhat similar to the Olympics, because the best were there representing their countries.

He hasn’t received much feedback from the judges yet to let him know what he did well and where he could use improvement.

There were some issues with his equipment the final day, and a couple of the experts from other countries noticed that.

“After the competition, they walked me through what went wrong and that kind of stuff, but that’s about all that I’ve heard right now. I haven’t received any marks back or anything back as of yet.”

He believes he managed his time well, and his general install of the equipment was pretty

good.

Thirty-two young adults in 29 different skilled trades categories were on Team Canada for the world event. A few of the Team Canada members worked in teams.

Since winning the national championship, Folk had been travelling to Regina to receive guidance and instruction from Canada’s entrant in electrical installations at the 2017 World Skills competition, who happens to reside in the Queen City.

Folk estimates he spent 12-16 hours there each weekend so he could be as ready as possible for World Skills.

They also worked together prior to the national competition.

The training, and the experience of his instructor helped a lot.

“He knew a lot of the ins and outs of the project, and had a whole bunch of tips for me.

I definitely wouldn’t have gone to worlds if it weren’t for him. It helped out a tonne.”

Folk expects the experience of going to an international competition will help him out a lot as he moves forward with his career. A lot of the things he encountered in Kazan are things that he doesn’t do on a day-to-day basis.

“As far as the functionality of my project, that probably won’t help me too much day to day, but the rest of the stuff and what I’ve learned about being more precise about everything, I think that will help me a lot day to day.”

Would he help out with training a future competitor? Folk said he would consider it, if the opportunity came up.

“If there’s another competitor from Saskatchewan, I’d definitely be willing to lend a hand.”

Going to Russia was also a great experience.

He said Kazan is similar to parts of Canada with its scenery and weather.

But it felt different being in another country, and the infrastructure was different, too.

“I definitely would have never thought I’d be going to Russia one day, that’s for sure. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

And it was his one chance to go to World Skills as well. There is an age limit of 24 to compete at World Skills, and people can only compete at the event once. It was still a great experience that he’s glad he was a part of.

Alida News Submitted by Edel Cowan

Sincere sympathy is extended to Robert (Bob) Harrison on the death of his wife Cecille who passed away Sept. 1 in Saskatoon Royal Hospital at the age of 70. Cecille was predeceased by her parents, Eugene and Eliza Charles, grandson Tyson Carierre, brothers Robert, Rene and Raymond Charles, and nephew Patrick Charles. She will be forever remembered by her family; daughters Bobbi-Jo Munroe and Betty-Jo (Aaron) DeJong, son Clayton (Amy) and their families, sister Lorraine (Marlyn) Simons, and their families, as well as other relatives. A graveside service will be held Sept. 21 at Cantal Cemetery.

Condolences are also extended to all other family members.

The Alida community extends their sincerest sympathy to the Jonassen (Carlsen) families on the death of Agnes (Carlsen) Jonassen on Sept. 2 at Redvers Long Term Care, at the age of 89 years.

Agnes was predeceased by her parents Martin and Dora Carlsen, husband John, nephew Thor Carlsen, brothers-in-law Roy Pierlot and Joe Murphy and sister-in-law Ruth Carlsen. She will be forever remembered by her family; daughter Diane (Ernie) LeNouail, Dallas (Louanne), Dwight (Debbie), Doug (Jackie) and their families, as well as brothers Donald (Lyla) and Lloyd (Sandra), sister Ruth Murphy and numerous nieces and nephews. The Jonassen family farmed in the R.M. of Reciprocity #32 for many years, retiring to Redvers when their son Dallas took over the farm. Her Memorial service was held September 7 at Dannevirke Lutheran Church with interment at the Dannevirke Cemetery. Condolences are also extended to all other family members.

Sept. 3 was the first day of school for staff and students – the school buses are on the road again – so please drive with care. Also this was the “To Hell with the Bells” morning for the retired teachers – they all met at Bear Claw Casino for their first get-

together for this season. Hope everyone had a great day.

Kim and Lily Carlsen welcomed their new granddaughter, Grace into the family. She arrived on Sept.

3.

On Sept. 7 there were approximately 13 motorcyclers who met at Café #361 here in Alida. They were here to participate in the Memorial Bike Ride in honor of Richard Carriere. The ride began around noon which also included a poker run from Alida to Moosomin to Kenosee to Oxbow and back to Carnduff in time for a cold plate supper and was then followed by a bachelor auction. The funds raised from this event will go towards equipment that is needed for the trailer that this chapter of the Southeast Saskatchewan Search and Rescue had received earlier in the year.

Jeff Cowan stopped for a quick visit Sept. 8 forenoon at the Cowan farm with his parents Gray and Edel before heading back to Regina.

The combines are now on the move whenever the grain is dry enough to be harvested – it seems to be taking a long time for that to happen. Those who have aeration bins are able to do harvesting sooner and are well into the processes. Now if the weatherman will only co-operate and give us nice warm sun shinny days the farmers would be very happy, however the forecast does not sound too good (let’s hope they’re wrong) but this year they seem to be spot on.

I sent most of the weekend in my garden – thinned and pulled out the beats, also pulled most of the onions up while they are dry and can air dry before putting them away. Hubby was also ambitious and decided to dig up a few rows of potatoes (didn’t want to dig up frozen ones like he did last year as an early frost had raised havoc with them).

THIS SPOT COULD BE YOURS!

Of course that meant I was elected to brush off the dirt and dust and put into pail ready to be carried to the house – actually the potato crop seems to be fairly good this year and there’s still another good day or two of digging to do, but the plants are still fairly green so decided to leave them for a while longer, maybe they’ll still grow bigger. The tomatoes are ripening on the vine and are really tasty and so far we seem to be able to keep up with eating them – oh sooo delicious. Now if I could only figure out a good way to check if the watermelon are ready to pick (don’t want the deer to eat them like they did last year), the cantaloupes seem to soon ready for picking (at least you can smell them when ready). The squashes, zucchinis and cucumbers are also ready to use and being devoured. Didn’t think I was going to get any pumpkins, but have noticed a few now, so hopefully they will mature enough for the kids to enjoy at Halloween. All in all, my garden seems to have been fairly productive this season. Hope yours was as well.

stooking, her worst moment was when a mouse ran over her feet. “Don’t be such a sissy”.

Grace deplored the late nights. There was no way of knowing when they were finishing. Leora remembered a turkey dinner at 11pm when they finished. You served the threshers, then the teen helpers, and then cleaned up. Margaret’s husband had two-way radios later on; between the combine and her in the truck. She got lost among the fields and had to ask, “Where am I”?

Eunice had no farm experience until she married. Then she had to learn to back up a truckload of grain in front of an auger. Ruth Dennis was truck diver for two combines. Janet’s husband died of cancer in September. The crop was swathed, and his best friends came with a self-propelled combine and bigger truck. In spite of a snowfall, it was all in the bin by freeze-up.

Congratulations to Quinn Eckart and Laura Salder who were married on Aug. 17 in Coshocton, Ohio.

Grandmother, Gail Engle, Jeff Engle of Wawota and several family members from Calgary attended the event.

Aftan Kerr (Mondor) who has spent the last few years here has moved to Moose Jaw. She will enjoy being closer to her children, Blair, Bordon and Emilia. We wish her well.

Congratulations to Jaimee Richards and Darryl Knelsen on the birth of their daughter on Sept.

2. She weighed 7 lbs. 9 oz. and been named Emily Grace.

“Old Tyme Harvest” at the Wilson Farm was held on Sept. 7. There were various demonstrations using the antique equipment from bygone years.

RTR served lunch. Although the weather was cool the large crowd enjoyed the day and appreciated the effort the Wilsons made.

Welcome to Mike and Alyssa Knelsen, Hailey, Hanna, Taylor and Breanna. They have moved back to our town and we hope they enjoy their stay.

Sept. 1, 1980 was the date that Terry Fox had to stop his Marathon of Hope Run. After 143 days and 5373 km he was forced to stop at Thunder Bay, ON. Thirty-nine years later we are still celebrating this courageous young man’s dream. Over $ 750,000,000 has been raised worldwide. Over 80% of all money raised is spent on cancer research and the only contact The Terry Fox Foundation has with you is a tax receipt sent in the new year. This is an excellent charity to support. A single dream, a world of hope.

World Rivers Day set for Sept 22

By Calvin Daniels Most people will not be aware, but the 15th annual World Rivers Day is set for Sept. 22.

So what is the day all about?

Well, “World Rivers Day celebrates the values of rivers, increases awareness, and encourages river stewardship and conservation around the globe – massive worldwide event has its roots in British Columbia, Canada going back to 1980,” stated a recent release regarding the day.

Perhaps the use of the word massive oversells the day a tad, at least here in Saskatchewan it doesn’t seem to have a great deal of traction, which is unfortunate.

Anything that raises awareness about the need to better protect our water resources is to my mind critical.

Watch for the little things

By Linda Wegner As many of my readers (and editors!) already know, recently I was without power to my computer for the better, or worst, part of the week. It was both frustrating and soul-searching. I felt so helpless when it came to submitting my article to a number of newspapers and independent readers but I can also say that by the time the fourth day had passed, a sense of serenity ruled in the house. No more interrupting any and all tasks in order to check email, etc. Never have so many crossword puzzles been done in so short a time.

Here’s the really interesting part, though: when the power came back on in our neighbourhood, ours was the only house on the block that didn’t have Internet access. I finally called our service provider, did all she suggested.

Next I made note of the earliest date that a technician could come.

Booked for two hours, he was finished in 15 minutes. The most frustrating and embarrassing part, however, was that a piece of equipment with its own power source had been affected. I didn’t realize that I needed to deal with that connection separately as well as with the main plug-ins. Red face along with great relief.

In writing to the believers in Ephesus, Paul spells out “items to check” in assessing our personal spiritual con-

dition. Here are some of the things he mentions: falsehood, stealing, dishonest work, and stinginess towards those in need. It’s easy to look at those highly visible faults and pat ourselves on the back. But like my computer, its often those seemingly little or hidden things that cause us to lose fellowship with God and with others. “…Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander as well as all types of malicious behaviour.”

(Ephesians 4:25-31) Check every connection!

And, “with many of the world’s rivers facing increasing pressures associated with climate change, pollution, and industrial development” as the release noted, that awareness is certainly needed in terms of our rivers.

The announced theme of this year’s event is “waterways in our communities” with a special emphasis on the need to protect and restore urban waterways which are often under great pressure. Many events will focus on educational and public awareness activities while others will include river cleanups, habitat restoration projects, and community riverside celebrations.

Farmers have increasingly become aware of their potential impact on local rivers and streams, paying greater attention to protecting riparian areas -- the interface between land and a river or stream.

The riparian area acts as a natural buffer to protect waterways.

Cattle producers are also moving away from having their stock drink directly from streams and rivers, protecting the waterways with off stream watering.

But, farmers are only one part of the equation in terms of protecting water resources in general, and rivers in particular.

“World Rivers Day strives to increase public awareness of the importance of our waterways as well as the many threats confronting them,” said Mark Angelo, World Rivers Day Chair and Founder and Chair Emeritus of the Rivers Institute at the British Columbia Institute of Technology in the release.

“Rivers are integral to all life. Yet, many of the world’s waterways continue to face an array of threats and are often impacted by inappropriate practices and inadequate protection,” added Angelo.

While there do not seem to be major events around the day locally, it is still an opportunity to think about the importance of our water resource in terms of our lives, growing food, transportation and recreation.

With its diverse importantance we need to be vigilant in our protection of the resource.

Just one year into her retirement after 35 years in education, Margaret Delainey of Regina decided she thought she could paint. She took her first art class through the Prairie Arts Guild in Regina and is now a permanent member of the MMPP Artists Colony.

Working in acrylic and water colour, she preferred landscapes and flowers, with sunflowers being her favourite. She has just begun branching out into birds and during

Homespun Craft Show & Sale Sept. 21 & 22

Cheryl MacDonald has been working in watercolour and with art pens for 21 years, beginning with pencil sketches and painting during high school, taking a break to raise a family and teach.

Just before her sister Allyson passed away in 2009, she encouraged MacDonald “to paint a masterpiece”.

Taking the advice to heart, MacDonald became serious about her painting and has combined her watercolours with journaling around it. She now has a new inspiration for her art with the impending birth of her first grandchild. MacDonald has been working on nursery-themed pieces, and has several completed with a little time to spare, thanks to her time at the MMPP Artist Colony Retreat.

33 years in the Art Club With a degree in Fine Arts, Mary Lowe of Kenton, MB has spent years perfecting her techniques. Beginning in clay and then moving into watercolours, she focuses mainly on horses, cats and elephants.

But as the photo shows, she has a great eye for bone and muscle structure too.

Lowe joined the Hamiota Art Club 33 years ago and just completed her second year at the Moose Mountain Provincial Park Art Colony Retreat.
