By Lynne Bell A group of Wawota busi-nesses showcased local shopping and dining as they hosted their fi rst annual Open House on Nov. 5 and 6. Front Porch Interiors Furniture and Design, King’s Department Store, and Gram-mie’s Gift Emporium welcomed shoppers, while 2nd Street Eats, Moose Mountain Meats, and the Wawota Hotel served specialty meals for the occasion. Shannon Houff, owner of Front Porch Interiors says, “Come in and let us dazzle you.” Houff’s 4,000 square-feet of selling space allows her to both inspire and encourage clients when it comes to design deci-sions. “I am in the fashion furni-ture industry, but I’m really in the business of helping people make their dreams a reality. What I do is help make beauti-ful, meaningful spaces for our customers and make everything look good together; whether that’s working with existing pieces in their home or starting from the fl oor on up. We carry quality furniture from suppliers such as Stylus, Norwalk, Thom-asville, Palliser, and others. And we work with contractors and suppliers to make the building and renovating process as enjoy-able as possible,” Houff says. “We’ll help people with a room plan and work with ideas that they have. We also sell everything off of the sales fl oor. What we do is create a vision in the store. The room scenarios are there to inspire people, and I change them often, so I can keep things fresh.” “Everything on the fl oor is 90 percent customizable and for sale.” However, Houff’s elegant and sophisticated store is not just for homeowners. “We also have a boutique area, because not everybody can walk out of the store with a sofa in their purse,” she laughs. “We have lots of gorgeous giftables right now-for Christmas as well as any other occasion. A few of the things we have are Thyme Fraser Fir candles, Naked Bee body butters and balms, and we have a great new line of jewel-lery from Beaucoup Designs, which features buildable neck-laces with charms.”

Wawota business welcome customers old and new with open house

Shannon Houff, of Wawota’s Front Porch Interiors Furniture and Design, says, “I am in the fashion furniture industry, but I’m really in the business of helping people make their dreams a reality. What I do is make beautiful, meaningful spaces for our customers and make everything look good together; whether that’s working with existing pieces in their home or starting from the fl oor on up.” “We have everything up right now-Christmas decor, ac-cessories and extra giftables. We continue to welcome our exist-ing clientele and of course, new clients. As I said, come in and let us dazzle you.” Bev King of King’s Depart-ment Store agrees. “Try us before you go out of town,” she says. “We’ve been in business 40 years, and we have clothing and shoes for the whole family-from infants to grandparents.” Both King’s Wawota and Carlyle locations stock apparel and footwear from a large cross section of brands, and this year is no exception. “Among the items we have this year are Nixon watches,” says King. “ For women, we also have Manitobah Mukluks, for men we have shirts, socks and Saxx underwear, and we have Ten Tree sweaters and T-shirts for both men and women.” “We also have fl eece sheets-from cradle to king-size.” King says the stores’ com-mitment to customer service is

at the forefront of their business. “Like many stores, we offer gift certifi cates. But we will also bring in stock between our stores and our return policy makes it easy to shop with us. We are committed to our customers.” At Grammie’s Gift Empo-rium, owner Wendy Brehaut says of her customers, “When they come in, I want everyone to think of their Grandma, to experience a welcoming place like home.” In addition to her fl oral business featuring both perma-nent and natural arrangements for all occasions, Brehaut also sells a wide variety of goods-including shabby chic furniture pieces (which quickly sold out), Enamelware bakeware, Energy Muse jewellery, Painted Pony and Willow Tree fi gurines, Melissa and Doug toys, Lang calendars, as well as greeting cards, and everyday stationery and offi ce supplies. “I am one of a few retail-ers in Saskatchewan that carry Enamelware,” she says. “It’s

really great bakeware, it’s very colourful, and it bakes like a breeze,” she says. “I’m also featuring fi repots. They are safe to use inside and safe to roast marshmallows with, so I’m serving s’mores to my custom-ers.” “I have gifts for everyone, and I like to say, ‘If I don’t have it, you don’t need it,’” she laughs. “But seriously, I always keep a quote by Maya Angelou in mind, ‘People won’t remem-ber what you said or did; they remember how you made them feel.’ That’s something I want to embody in my business.” “Because of that, I have a Remembrance Day window display, and my Christmas stock isn’t available to purchase until after Nov. 11. I’m hosting the store’s Christmas Extravaganza on Nov. 16 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., and I’ll have all of my Christmas stock out by then.”

Kristine Duff of 2nd Street Eats says, “We ap-preciate the support of the community and all of our customers, whether they dine-in, or do take-out or delivery with us. The open house is a chance for us to say thanks by serving a special, which is our chili in a bread bowl and our brownies.” “We’re already taking bookings for Christmas parties,” adds Duff. “We can do in-house catering for up to 100 people and we can do off-premises catering for groups over 100. Year-round, we offer licenced dining, take-out and delivery, and we feature pizza, pasta, steak, and Canadian cuisine. Our desserts are all homemade, too. We also serve both Sunday brunch and Sun-day dinner throughout the year.” “We pride ourselves on delivering ‘family dining on the fi ner side’, and we welcome people to dine with us anytime.”

Wawota’s Wendy Brehaut displays the colourful Enamelware she sells at her store, Grammie’s Gift Emporium. As one of the retailers participating in the town’s Open House, Brehaut sells a variety of both beautiful and practical items in her shop. She is also a qualifi ed fl orist, who is constantly upgrading her skills. “I have gifts for everyone,” she laughs. “And I like to say, if I don’t have it, you don’t need it.”

By Kelly Running The Carlyle Dick-ens Village Festival is celebrating its 12th year this December. One of the main staples of the celebrations includes the annual performance of A Christmas Carol by the community theatre group, Cornerstone Theatre. Throughout these years Doug Waldner, co-stage director of this year’s play, explained they have only repeated a production twice. Within 13 years, as Cornerstone hosted a performance of A Christmas Carol the year before Dickens began, there have been 11 different portrayals of the famous Charles Dickens book. This year is no dif-ferent with Cornerstone Theatre bringing to the Dickens Festival, A Com-munity Christmas Carol by Mackenzie Easton. “She’s a very clever writer, I thought it was very clever and everyone who read it loved it,” Waldner explained. “She takes the standard Christ-mas Carol and incorpo-rates it into her version.” Waldner is joined by Colleen Easton (Mackenzie’s mother) in stage direction, Dianne Twietmeyer and Lane Easton (Mackenzie’s father) in music direction, and Michele Amy in band direction. Mackenzie, in her

A Community Christmas Carol coming to Dickens

During rehearsals of the Cornerstone Theatre group’s Dickens play, A Community Christmas Carol by Mackenzie Easton, Dianne Twietmeyer’s character becomes angry and frustrated cancelling all of the town’s Christmas festivities. The play is a fun twist to the traditional tale written by a second generation Cornerstone Theatre alum.

fi rst year of university, wrote the script based on the idea of a director continually putting on the same show every year. This year the director de-cides she has had enough and cancels all of the Christmas festivities in her town. “It’s a small com-munity theatre which has been putting on A Christ-mas Carol for many years and the director gets tired of it cancelling the whole Christmas festival,” Wald-ner smiled as he explained the premise of the play. Ultimately Macken-zie took inspiration from Cornerstone Theatre and produced an extremely exaggerated version of thoughts and feelings that have come up within those who perform each year in the Dickens play. “Mackenzie has been part of the group for years and it’s not biographically or historically accurate but it builds up the feelings we’ve had at times and takes them to a really fun place,” Waldner said. “It’s taking those feelings to a really high level and in really funny way.” “It’s a really fun play. We’ve got some characters from our previous Christ-mas plays coming back.” Additionally Waldner explained they are bring-ing back music from past performances, will be uti-lizing last year’s Arizona set, while also incorporat-

ing brand new material. “It will be fun for those who have seen all of the plays because they’ll be able to pick out differ-ent things we’ve done in the past,” Waldner said. “Mackenzie’s also brought in the typical Scrooge storyline, which is cleverly worked into the play that people will catch as well.” There are approxi-mately 20 people involved

as characters Waldner ex-plained and happily said a four or fi ve piece band has been practicing together. “It’s been a lot of work, they have a mash-up of three songs that the characters are singing which is diffi cult to do but it will work out nicely,” Waldner said. “It’s got very good songs... there’s lots of good performers... and there’s as many genres of music as we could do in

it too: blues, country, rock and roll, classic rock, a show tune, folk, and even an old time Vaudeville type of sounding song.” They have been work-ing together since the end of September. Moving forward they have been focusing their vision and are excited to be able to share the fi nished product with the community and Mackenzie, who being away at school has yet to

see how Cornerstone has brought her script to life. Tickets for the production are on sale at The Pearl Boutique (306-453-4488) located on Main Street across from Carlyle Memorial Hall. The production will be performed on Friday, Dec. 5, and Saturday, Dec. 6, at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee show on Sunday, Dec. 7 at 2 p.m.

At Moose Mountain Meats, manager Sue Leny also takes pride in supply-ing quality local cuisine. “This year, I’ve teamed up with Barb Dixon at the Wawota Hotel, and we’re happy to be hosting a meal as part of the Open House, featuring our chicken souvlaki.” “At Moose Mountain Meats, we get a lot of compliments on our prod-ucts at our retail outlet. One hunter texted us and said ours was he best sau-sage he’d ever had. If you want something special, give me a call,” says Leny. “All of our products are made in-store, from sau-sages and patties to things like our braided pork loin that’s stuffed with sausage meat. We also sell bone-less dry ribs, breaded pork cutlets, harvest leg hams, prime rib, and cooked and sliced roast beef.” “A very popular item is our chicken cordon bleu,” she adds. “All of our products are locally

made and of the highest quality. We appreciate our customers and we aim to please them.” Wawota Hotel owner Dixon agrees. “We’re happy to do the Open House, as a way to say thank you to our regular customers and to wel-come our new clientele. We’re looking forward to serving them during the Christmas season and beyond.” “I’d like to always thank my customers for the support they give me, and I’m sure everyone with a business in town feels that way,” says Wendy Brehaut. “When my customers shop lo-cally, it not only benefi ts me and my business, it also allows me to donate to local fundraisers that help teams and causes in our area. It helps the entire community to shop locally and this Open House helps to remind us all of that.”

By Lynne Bell Stoughton minister, healer-and now novelist-Elizabeth Goodson drew on a mix of the spiritual and the spooky for her fi rst book, ‘The Tarot’s Warning.’ “It’s about a real experience with an unfriendly ghost,” she says. “There is a les-son to it. It’s the story of three women, their relationship, and their spiritual journey together, but it’s also got an element of mystery and a little humour.” “I see it as a story of three women who are exploring their spirituality and a haunting, so [the novel] has a double theme,” adds Goodson. “It’s published as a novel, but it’s about 90 percent a true story. I am the only ‘real’ character in the book, Beth.” “I wrote it as a gateway for people. It might mostly be attractive to people seek-ing spirituality, but it’s also just a story. It’s about 90 percent my own experience, but it’s based on events from three different communities. It took place before I came to Stoughton, so none of the places or people are from Stoughton. The Stoughton content is limited to the cover photo, which is a picture I took from my kitchen window here.” “Beth is pretty much me, and there are also parts of me in the other two main characters. I didn’t want it to be an autobiography. Instead, I wanted the book to be a window into spirituality for readers. Many people are starving when it comes to spiri-tuality and I wanted to reach people with this book. People yearn for spirituality. They might not be really into church or religion, and many tend to describe themselves as ‘spiritual, but not religious.’” Goodson says her position as minister of Stoughton’s Grace United Church and her partnership in her business, Arbon & Goodson, Energy Practitioners, allows her to explore and appreciate many avenues of spirituality and healing, which her novel explores. “Because the United Church is very accepting and very curious about all types of spirituality, I have been able to train as a reiki master and I am also qualifi ed in healing touch, crystal healing, and tarot exploration. My interest in these areas has been grow-ing for years. My grandmother was interested in all this stuff. People are eager to learn more, and I want to help them get spiritual nourishment.” “We are all a combination of the sacred and the secular, the logical and the spiri-tual, and matter and energy. The body, mind, and spirit are not separate and distinct from one another; they are all working together to enhance our human experience. I hope that’s something that comes across in this story.” Goodson says writing her novel took a matter of months. “It took me from about March until June. I would sit down each evening after work and I would just kind of fl ow out of me. Because it’s a lot of my own experience, I suspect if I did another one, it might be harder, because I would have to use my imagination entirely, so for now, I’m going to step back and take a break and talk to people about the book and about what it triggers in them.” Goodson will be selling and signing copies of ‘A Tarot’s Warning’ at Stoughton Library on Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. The novel is available in hardcover ($31.99), softcover ($17.99) and e-book formats ($2.99) via Amazon.ca and www.friesenpress.com/book-store.

By Kelly Running Cornerstone Family and Youth has been hold-ing art lessons with the library for the past four years. This year the art lessons are taking place on Thursdays after school, running from 3:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. Last week on Thursday, Nov. 6, CFY welcomed local artist Marylin Carter to conduct a colours workshop with

Young artists with CFY learn from local talentwater colours. “It was nice,” Jenn Sedor, CFY School-Age and Youth Coordinator, explained. “We normally do art lessons, but it was nice to have an actual artist come in and work with the kids. They got to use professional quality products and tools, and Marylin taught them tech-niques she actually teaches adults, so they all learned a lot about colour.”

Carter explained the workshop was a fun way to get kids thinking about mixing colours and having fun while creating art. “It went really good,” Carter stated. “They had a lot of fun and it worked out really well. There were some very creative young people there. They mixed colours like you wouldn’t believe.” “We only had an hour so we did a little bit about colour and mixing. They had three circles drawn-red, blue, and yellow- and they were interlocking, the kids put water on the cir-cles and tipped the board so the colours started running and making other colours.” “They then put salt on it after which sucks up colour and creates a snow-fl ake effect, so when the kids go back they can rub the salt off and see what they have.” A total of 17 kids attended ranging in ages from four to 12, which is approximately half of the youth registered for the program. “It’s a free drop-in, but it does require pre-reg-istration so they do have to sign up before coming by either emailing me at

Marylin Carter, a local artist, taught a colour workshop on Thursday, Nov. 6, for youth participating in Cornerstone Family and Youth’s art program.

[email protected] or stopping by the library with their child on the Thursday, there’s a short form to fi ll out,” Sedor said. “Not everyone shows up because it is a drop-in

program, but on average we have around 17 kids that come.” For November and December the art program will focus on making pup-pets with Margaret Bell. “The kids will get to build different types of

puppets, a background, and create stories that they will perform on Dec. 18,” Sedor stated. CFY is also currently looking to host an art show during the week of Family Literacy Day, Jan. 27.

Listening intently, youth learn about mixing water colours from Marylin Carter, a local artist.

OBSERVER OPINION

I couldn’t fi nd the remote. I was convinced I’d looked everywhere and it was gone. Could we even turn the TV on

anymore without a remote? The average home has 2.86 TVs but only 2.5 people. Add to that the number of TV enabling devices like computers, laptops, smartphones and iPads in each house and they outnumber the people who live in those homes by a rather large margin. A selling feature in real estate today is the existence of a media room--square footage dedicated solely to the act of watching TV and movies. So what has us so enamored? What are we watching? The Nielsen research company analyzes information collected through national and local people meters along with more than two million paper diaries audiences fi ll out during the sweeps period in February, May, July and November. Several years ago I was part of a similar project. I had to keep a week-long viewing log in thirty minute increments. I found myself thinking twice when I turned on the TV knowing someone would be researching what I was watching. The social scientist in me would call it response bias. The vain part of me wanted people to think I only watched PBS or educational programs on the History Channel. Ratings tell us that among the shows in the top 10 currently are Thursday Night Football, NCIS, 60 minutes, The Big Bang Theory and Dancing with the Stars. An eclectic list to be sure. In 1996 the United Nations General Assembly issued a proclamation declaring November 21 to be World Television Day. It read: “In recognition of the increasing impact television has on decision-making by bringing world attention to confl icts and threats to peace and security and its potential role in sharpening the focus on other major issues, including economic and social issues, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 21 November as World Television Day.” There have been notable occasions when the images on a TV have drawn people together into a shared experience allowing for a connectivity of emotion; John F Kennedy’s funeral, the moon landing, the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger, the tearing down of the Berlin Wall and the attacks on September 11, 2001. It has also inspired response as images were brought into our homes that could not be ignored: famine in African nations, invasions in the Middle East, children in orphanages in Eastern Europe, and destruction in the wake of natural disasters all over the globe. We often think of the impact of TV watching on children. Much less thought is put into how TV affects adults. We may think it doesn’t, but how can that be? Was there some sort of magic line we crossed that meant what we are exposed to has no impact? The affect may be different as our abilities to understand and contextualize develops, but to say we are unaffected by what we watch is rather short sighted. And it’s why we need to give thought to what we are choosing. Sometimes, especially at the end of a particularly busy day, we may tell ourselves we want to relax, unwind and simply watch something “mindless”. There is no such thing. We process 50,000 thoughts each day indicating our brains are always at work. What we put into our heads is the furthest thing from mindless. Watching TV can be fun, entertaining, educational, informative, inspiring and motivating. There are also programs that can be demeaning, degrading, disrespectful and disheartening. It is not just the imagination and thoughts of our children being impacted by TV--it is very much us as well. As we hold the remote in our hand we need to recognize that the choices we make don’t just refl ect the program we choose. More importantly, those decisions are impacting what our minds are being switched on to. That’s my outlook.

I was looking at online news and magazine articles the other

day when I came across those regarding Brittany Maynard of Portland, Oregon. At the age of 29-years-old she became a public fi gure for choosing to participate in Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act. She chose to end her own life after being diagnosed with brain cancer. Last spring Maynard was given six months to live having been diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma. In an interview with People magazine she said: “My glioblastoma is going to kill me and that’s out of my con-trol. I’ve discussed with many experts how I would die from it and it’s a terrible way to die. So being able to choose to go with dignity is less terrifying.” She continued to tell the magazine, “For people to argue against this choice for sick people really seems evil to me. They try to mix it up with suicide and that’s really unfair, because there’s not a single part of me that wants to die. But I am dying.” To me this doesn’t seem like it was a decision taken lightly. She didn’t want to die but the re-ality was her life was coming to an end and for her the decision of leaving this world through death with dignity was the right choice for her. She spoke with

her family, they all accepted her choice. In fact she moved with her husband, mother, and stepfather to Oregon in order to be allowed access to the state’s Death with Dignity Act. So, on Nov. 1, with fam-ily surrounding her, she passed away. But not before making the most of her life by travelling to Alaska, British Columbia, Yellowstone Park, and taking a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. Upon looking into argu-ments for and against this choice I discovered that the main focus of concern is on doctors promot-ing euthanasia and detracting from palliative care, while put-ting added pressure on elderly individuals to give up their lives because they feel they are being a burden on their families. I told my mom that I was thinking of writing on this topic. Without telling her I was pro-choice, she had already agreed with my opinion as long as it was regulated that for some people it is the right choice. She then told me about being with my grandfather and when he passed away years ago. She was with him at the time and told me his breath was becoming diffi -cult, it wasn’t that he was in pain struggling for air, but he was dying and taking his last breaths. He lived through the pain and diffi culties of attempting to overcome lung cancer, he fought, but was unsuccessful. I was only about seven-years-old or so and don’t remember his

last month very clearly, but my mom said that he was suffering from so much pain that he was doped up on enough morphine that he didn’t even know who anyone was. She then asked me if this was right, to drug some-one into an almost comatose state on their deathbed. What was right? Had he been given the choice as the woman in Oregon had, would he have chosen that or would he have continued on the same path he ultimately lost his life on? The concern about pres-sures on elderly, however, are valid and if this topic is dis-cussed in Saskatchewan would there be a way to ensure choice for those who want it and pro-tect those who feel pressured? As of April 2014, four states in the U.S. Have legalized physician-assisted suicide. Or-egon, Vermont, and Washington have legalized the act through legislation, while Montana is legal through court ruling. The precedents of Mon-tana, Vermont, and Washing-ton includes a minimum age of 18-years-old, six or fewer months until the individuals expected death, and two oral (at least 15 days apart) and one written request to the physician. So, if these are followed would it put pressure on elderly. These stipulations actually make el-derly unable to choose it unless they have been “diagnosed with a terminal illness that will lead to death within six months.”

OBSERVER LIFESTYLES

“Nothing is wanting to him who possesses God,” said St Teresa of Avila. “God alone suffi ces”. I tried it; the other day. I had a physical ache that kept me from regular activity and even sleep. I decided I can have joy in the world in spite of suffering. All it takes is possessing God. That alone will suffi ce. In God alone is our soul at rest. It worked. Not only did joy return to me, but the pain seemed to vanish. If we can live with a sense that Jesus is in us, imagine how powerful that makes us? Especially when temptation comes along? To possess the Spirit of God we must be free of anger, jealousy or unforgiveness. To possess the Spirit of Jesus we must build on the sense that we are Christian, that Christ is in us, and that when we move and act, it is Christ moving in us? Take a moment to think of demon possession. What is that existence like? Now think of the opposite, being possessed by Jesus. Now follow through and get a picture of how possessing Jesus, as St Teresa put it, would suffi ce to bring us joy and the power to face

life’s challenges Galatians 2:20 says “Christ lives in me”. We must walk as He walked; we must want to have Christ’s life in us. The heart of Christianity is to become like Jesus. When He shares our load, especially suffering and pain, it becomes lighter. Joy is possible even there. In Breaking into Joy Anne Costa says: “Joy does not depend upon our circumstances. It comes from God and cannot be reduced by suffering or hardship. Our circumstances may affect our ability to see the joy God is offering to us. But that’s exactly where Breaking into Joy comes in.” “The present moment is the best place to start. And this is possible for each of us, thanks to the Holy Spirit who dwells in us,” Hallie Riedel says of Costa’s book. About suffering, Costa says, “How we choose to think about things is always within our control.” Take the problem of hatred and holding grudges. Imagine the poor character in the following scene: “I can’t go to the Post Offi ce; he might be there, I can’t go to the

mall; she might be there. I can’t walk down Main Street ‘cause it goes right by his house. I’ll have to stop going for coffee ‘cause she goes there most mornings.” Who is in control of this life? In a chapter dealing with forgiveness as a fountainhead of joy Costa ends with: “Isn’t it time to forgive?” Joy is only possible with the freedom forgiveness brings. Riedel says, “In the end, pursuing joy is a personal decision. Joy doesn’t strike like a lightning bolt; it deepens with time and practice.” And joy comes naturally to the Christian. Joy is one of the fruits of the Spirit, along with Love, Peace, Patience, Goodness…and Long-Suffering, which is also on that list. Holy Spirit… Awaken within us the ability to see something of the possibilities You see for us as followers of Jesus. Deepen our desire to nurture the gifts you have planted in our hearts. Help us to pursue with eagerness and joy the path of holiness and service to which we have been called. (From the opening prayers of a retreat on the Gifts of the Spirit)

By Linda Wegner Ah, elections. Our American friends and neighbours recently elected politicians to fi ll hundreds of seats in the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. Here in our city we’re going to the polls this week to elect six persons to sit on our City Council. Though there are vast differences in the number of candi-dates and seats to fi ll, as well as a number of other issues, what really mat-ters is that we have the privilege and the right to choose who will represent us in national, provincial/state or municipal govern-ments. It’s a choice that

millions of people around the world have fought for and died to have. Elections and government are the basis for many a joke and to deny that there are prob-lems is folly; no system is perfect. Having said that, I say democracy is to be preferred to anything else I’ve heard about. There are lot of other imperfections in the electoral process, as well. To start with, not one candidate is faultless. Even if they were, we the voters don’t have the ability to see the future nor to choose with unerr-ing wisdom the person or persons who will do the best job. As I and my fellow citizens go to the

polls this Saturday, I trust that we will have carefully pondered our decision. Trouble is, even that isn’t an absolute guarantee. While there is no human institution without fl aws and faults, each of us has the option to make right choices regarding eternity. The administra-tion of earth’s laws and policies might not stand the test of integrity and politicians may betray constituents but we have the promise that the word of God is unfailing. “Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven (stands fi rm as the heavens).” Psalm 119:89 Amplifi ed I vote for that!

Dear Readers, In last week’s column a mother wrote in concerned about her child being bullied at school. As a follow up to last week’s letter the following is a column I wrote for children a few years ago. When you are being bullied; 1. Tell a friend what is happening. Ask him or her to help. It will be harder for the bully to pick on you if you have a friend with you for support.2. Try to ignore the bullying or say “NO” or “GO AWAY” very fi rmly, then turn and walk away immediately. Don’t worry if people think you are running away. Remember it is very hard for the bully to go on bullying someone who won’t stand still to listen. If a group is bothering you, look the weakest person in the eye and say, “This isn’t funny” and then walk away. Practice in a mirror.3. Try not to show that you are upset or angry. Bullies love to get a reaction – it’s fun. Laugh at or ignore comments or teasing. It may be hard to do at fi rst, but it works. As one child says “Bullies can’t bully you if you don’t care.”4. Don’t fi ght back. Bullies can be bigger or stronger than you. If you fi ght back you could make the situation worse, get hurt or be blamed for starting the trouble.5. It’s not worth getting hurt to keep possessions or money. If you feel threatened, give the bullies what they want. Property can be replaced, you can’t. Try to avoid being alone in the places where you know the bully is likely to pick on you. This may mean changing your route to school, avoiding parts of the playground, or only using common rooms or washrooms when other people are there, It’s not fair that you have to do this, but it may keep you safe.6. Keep a diary of what is happening. Write down details of the incidents and your feelings about them. When you do decide to tell someone, a written record of the bullying makes it easier to explain what has been going on.EllenFor more information about the services we offer, please call the Envision Counselling and Support Centre in Weyburn at 842-8821 or Estevan 637-4004 or call our Abuse/Sexual Assault Line at 1-800-214-7083.

By Kelly Running Wawota hosted 1A girls volleyball confer-ences on Saturday, Nov. 8. With Wawota, Whitewood, Kahkewistahaw, Manor, Broadview, and Kakisi-wew competing. The teams began playing at 10 a.m., with the tournament running throughout the day and into the evening. Those attending competed for the top two spots in order to continue on to 1A Region-als being held this week-end. Hard-fought matches saw Kahkewistahaw

come out to win Pool A with Whitewood taking second in Pool A. Pool B saw Kakisiwew earn fi rst and Manor take second. The crossover matches then determined the top two teams of the day who faced off in a fi nal. Kakisiwew and Kah-kewistahaw would meet in the fi nal where in two close sets, Kahkewistahaw would be victorious. Both teams played well and will be going on to Regionals this weekend in Kahkewis-tahaw. Other local action this weekend will include girls

4A Regionals being hosted by the Carlyle Cougars. Stoughton senior girls have moved on with Glad-mar after their 1A Confer-ences on Saturday, Nov. 8, in Fillmore. Stoughton and Gladmar will travel to Kahkewistahaw for 1A Regionals. Manor, Arcola, Wawota, and Lampman senior girls teams are fi nished for the season. All local senior boys teams will be away par-ticipating in their Confer-ences across the southeast this weekend as well with hopes of continuing onto Regionals.

And now the moment you’ve all

been waiting for

After a gruelling 20-week regular season from which the Saskatchewan Roughriders emerged at 10-8, the 2014 Canadian Football League Playoffs are now at hand. The bar has been raised so high in Saskatchewan for the past decade that, to me, the regular season has become somewhat tedious. As far back as June we found ourselves daydreaming about what the playoffs would bring, and in what way the Roughriders would have to defend their 2013 championship. Now we know, and it’s infi nitely thrilling that the time is now! Saskatchewan’s 24-17 home win over Edmonton this past frigid Saturday night accomplished a lot of things: it snapped a fi ve game losing skid, showed the team they can win without Darian Durant, assured an above .500 record and guaranteed the Riders would stay in the West Division for the postseason rather than crossover into the East. It sets up a meeting between the Riders and Eskimos Sunday at Commonwealth Stadium in the Western Semifi nal (3:30 pm Sask time, TSN, 620 CKRM). “Whether it was East or West, the team was prepared to go either but it’s always nice to stay in the West,” said a content Rider coach Corey

Chamblin after the game. “For us we’ve played Edmonton the most the past few weeks and there are some known strengths and weaknesses in the opponent. In terms of prep, it’s good to know the opponent you’re playing. There are some base things to study from this game and they put their best foot forward to win this game.” Indeed it was impressive how hard Edmonton tried to win Saturday night, given the fact they really had nothing to play for. It’s true they had the ability to affect who they’d play in the WSF, but that seemed to be the last thing on their mind. Meanwhile the Rider coaches were tearing their hair out doing advance scouting last week for a possibility of four opponents in the fi rst round of the playoffs: Edmonton, Hamilton, Montreal or Toronto. Now they know it’s the Eskimos and getting past them won’t be an easy task. Edmonton’s 12-6 record represents the biggest single-season turnaround in franchise history after going 4-14 last year. They are also #1 on offense and #2 on defense going into the playoffs. How can you be better than that? The thing you’ll be hearing about the most this week is the

quarterbacks. Top pivots Mike Reilly and Darian Durant were held out of the fi nal regular season game by the Eskimos and Riders respectively, and we’re told both were due to injury. Let the gamesmanship begin. “Our quarterback was really hurt,” Chamblin smiled. “Regarding Mike Reilly, I think that’s just a ruse. It doesn’t matter who their quarterback will be. We’ll have to be ready to play.” Of course Darian Durant hasn’t played since September 7 due to an elbow injury and he’s slowly been worked into practice the past couple of weeks. In Durant’s absence the past three weeks, 41-year old veteran Kerry Joseph has fi lled in. “Kerry did a good job (Saturday night),” Chamblin continued. “When he broke the run, he looked like Darian. He’s starting to look like a playoff quarterback. Whether it’s #4 or #5 going in the playoffs, or both, we’ll be ready.” The question is; which one will it be? Wouldn’t the Eskimos like to know. I expect this will be strung out all week, long enough for the Rider Nation to snap up tickets in advance for Sunday’s playoff game at Commonwealth Stadium. In case you hadn’t heard, your attendance is requested.

Sports Wrap-up with Bruce Penton– ‘Bum’ has a series to remember

When World Series lore is recounted 100 years from now, Madison Bumgarner’s name will be part of the conversation, along with the likes of Bill Mazeroski, Joe Carter, Sandy Koufax and Jack Morris. Bumgarner, one of the best bargains in Major League Baseball, displayed one of the most dominating pitching performances in World Series history late last month as his San Fran-cisco Giants took their third title in fi ve years. While Reggie Jackson might be known as Mr. October for his home run exploits in the post-season, Bumgarner is the pitching equivalent. In three World Series, Bumgarner’s stats are otherworldly: a 4-0 record, a 0.25 earned run average (one earned run allowed in 36 innings); 31 strikeouts and only five walks. Absolutely the best — when it counts the most. Bumgarner won this year’s Series opener, 7-1, giving up a solo homer to Salvador Perez. That was it for offence against the 25-year-old. He then tossed a complete-game 7-0 vic-tory in Game 5, and pitched

fi ve shutout innings in the Game 7 clincher on only two days rest, to cement his reputation as one of the most dominating post-season pitchers ever. And the paragraph two reference to Bumgarner being a bargain? The Gi-ants in 2012 signed him to a five-year extension running through the 2017 season for a total of $37.5 million. Considering the game’s best pitchers these days are signing free-agent contracts for $25 to $30 mil-lion per season, Giants’ GM Brian Sabean should get the Scrooge McDuck award for contract astuteness. This year, Bumgarner pitched for relative peanuts — $3.75 million. He’ll earn $6.75 million in 2015, $9.75 mil-lion in 2016 and $11.5 mil-lion in 2017. Free agency — where he would easily command $200 million or thereabouts over eight years if he were eligible today — will have to wait. Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers is working on a seven-year deal for $215 million ($30.7 million aver-age) and Justin Verlander’s Detroit contract is $180 mil-lion for seven years ($25.7 million per). Bumgarner’s agent, were free agency a reality, wouldn’t even answer an email if the offer didn’t start at $30 million per season.That’s ridiculous money. Mad money. But in this day and age for the guy they call Mad Bum, it would be money well deserved.• Not SportsCenter, on Twit-ter: “Madison Bumgarner named World Series MVP, NL MVP, NL Cy Young, AL MVP, AL Cy Young, MLB commissioner, Governor of

California, Pope.”▪ Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are on a Ryder Cup Task Force prob-ing recent U.S. failures vs. Europe. Initial fi nding: In-ability to transport Woods and Mickelson back to their primes.”• Cote again: “The Mar-lins have interest in free agent-to-be Pablo “Kung Fu Panda” Sandoval, the hefty Giants third base-man. Miami likes his bat. Sandoval likes the Marlins’ ‘All You Can Eat Mondays’ promotion.”• Bears QB Jay Cutler, to ChicagoBears.com, when asked if his team prepares any differently for a home game than one on the road: “We don’t get on a plane.”• Late-night funnyman Da-vid Letterman of CBS: “In the movie ‘Ouija,’ they use the board to contact the dead. In the opening scene, they’re talking to the (NY) Jets.”• Bruce Murdock of Port-land’s KKCW Radio, after ex-slugger Jose Canseco shot off the middle fi nger on his right hand while clean-ing his gun: “Doctors say he’ll recover, but he’ll never be able to drive in New York City again.”• Ed Tait of the Winnipeg Free Press, on Twitter dur-ing the Jets game at New Jersey Devils: “Announced crowd here at Prudential Center: 12,897. It’s almost Halloween; apparently a popular costume here is an empty seat.”• Comedy writer Alan Ray, after Rockets center Dwight Howard produced a double-double in the NBA opener: “10 rebounds, 15 com-plaints.”

• Brad Dickson of the Oma-ha World-Herald; “A Phila-delphia Eagles fan has been reunited with his prosthetic leg after another Eagles fan stole it. Even Philly fans who pelted Santa with snowballs are going, ‘You did what?’ ”• Dickson again, on Dal-las Cowboys’ decision not to suspend receiver Jo-seph Randle, a suspected shoplifter: “Instead, they chose to think of him as this week’s team leader in takeaways.”• Comedy wri ter J im Barach: “The New York Yankees have reinstated Alex Rodriguez after his 162-game suspension for using PEDs. Apparently it’s part of the league’s new 12 strikes and you’re out policy.”• Janice Hough of leftcoast-sportsbabe.com: “The San Francisco Giants used pic-tures from their last World Series parade to advertise this year’s parade. If new manager Joe Maddon leads the Cubs to a title, they’ll need to fi nd someone who’s an expert in reproducing cave paintings.”• Comedy writer Alex Kas-eberg, the day after the Gi-ants won the World Series: “In San Francisco’s Castro district last night, men were ripping off their clothes, swilling champagne and dancing in the street. When asked how long they would celebrate the Giants win, they said; ‘What Giants win?’ ” Care to comment? Email [email protected]

It’s the start to a new hockey season and the at-oms start it off right with a strong fi rst game this past weekend. Playing Satur-days game against Lamp-man, Caydence Chapman started the game off strong getting a hat trick in the first period, followed by Drayden Arndt, Cooper Humphries, and then Mitch Himmelspach fi nishing up

the game with a hat trick of his own giving us a win of 10-3. Also a shout out to Logan Romaniuk for his quick moves in goal! Sun-day the Atoms travelled to Bienfait to play the minors. The game started off fast paced but we were un-able to get past their goalie in the 1st. In the second pe-riod Drayden Arndt started the fi re by getting the fi rst goal of the game and the

Atom Cougars’ season off to good start

team pulled out all the stops and played their hearts out with a comeback, but fell short by 2 goals in the last 2 minutes of the game with a score of 12-10 for the Bienfait Minors. We were proud parents watching our kids come out fi ghting for the win in the 3rd, we couldn’t ask for a harder playing team. Come out and cheer on our Atom cougar team this season

By Lynne Bell Author, artist and prairie advocate, Heather Peat Hamm of Forget will be selling, signing, and speaking in support of her new book, ‘Blue Grama’ at Michael’s Coffee Shop & Bakery in Carlyle on Nov. 20 at 6:30 p.m. She will also appear at the Stoughton Library on Nov. 19, for a potluck at 6 p.m. and a 7:30 reading. “There are some peo-ple who you want more of in your life,” says owner Michael Ellis. “Heather is one of those people. I am really looking forward to reading her read excerpts from her book on Nov. 20, as well as hearing the musical selections the will play. I’m looking forward to reading her book in its entirety.” Published by Regina’s Wild Sage Press, Peat Hamm’s book is divided equally between mostly

Forget’s Prairie Poet to hold book signings in Carlyle and Stoughtonbotannical illustrations and a collection of poetry, prose, and fi ve songs, all created by the author. Peat Hamm also created the cover art, which names and depicts a species of grass. “It’s a warm-season species that does re-ally well further south,” she says of blue grama. “There, it’s a big, ro-bust plant. Here, it runs into limitations in our landscape. It becomes a smaller thing, sort of eking out an existence.” In the book, Peat Hamm writes of blue grama: “I like the way it manages to sneak into the landscape where other, better-suited species could take over, but this little grass holds on.” In addition to her lit-erary, musical, and artistic talents, Peat Hamm is also a plant ecologist, and says, “In my consulting

work, I’ve worked a lot of different native grasslands, including Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Associtation pastures (PFRA). Things I see every day during fi eld season are things that maybe others don’t get a chance to see and I wanted to share some of those things through the illustra-tions to remind people how important the rural way of life and the native prairie landscape is.” “The prairie for me is personal,” says Peat Hamm. “I grew up here and ‘Blue Grama’ is focused on the people and the stories that I know.” “It’s my vision of the prairie.” ‘Blue Grama’ ($18) is published by Regina’s Wild Sage Press. For more information, contact Michael’s Coffee Shop & Bakery in Carlyle at 453-2425 and Stoughton Library at 457-2484.

Forget’s Heather Peat Hamm will be introducing her book, ‘Blue Grama’ to area residents at Michael’s Coffee Shop in Carlyle on Nov. 20 at 6:30 p.m. Pictured is one of the many illustrations in the book, which is made up of the author’s drawings, poetry, song lyrics, and prose, which are “an emotive ode to all things prairie.”

Fairlight ChristmasOpen House

Fairlight offered shoppers an authentic small-town Christmas experience as community organizations and local businesses hosted the annual Christmas Open House on Nov. 8 and 9.

(l-r) Brenda Thompson, owner of Fairlight’s Home Sweet Home Tearoom & Gift Shop and Anita Cudmore served patrons a Christmas-themed shop-ping experience to delight in, as customers soaked up the tea room’s festive atmosphere and sipped and nibbled on complimentary festive fare, including hot apple cider.

All of the exhibitor tables in Fairlight’s Community Hall had been sold out “for weeks,” according to organizer Shirley Campbell. “The exhibitors are from all over and there are some returning favourites and some new exhibi-tors.”

Saturday’s soup and sandwich luncheon at Fairlight’s Drop-in Centre featured homemade fare. Profi ts from the meal benefi ted the community club.

Decorating both the Home Sweet Home Tea-room and the 2nd Edition Gift Shop for the an-nual Christmas Open House takes a total of 10 days, and is due to the hard work and creativity of Robin Thompson (pictured).

“We’re very fortunate,” says Brenda Thompson. “It’s a town-wide event and the success is due to everybody who works here and everybody who comes out.”

FOR LEASE

By Kelly Running The Carlyle Detach-ment of the RCMP respond-ed to 57 calls of service between Friday, Oct. 31 and Thursday, Nov. 6.

Weekly RCMP report911 calls Five 911 calls were re-ceived for varying reasons. The fi rst involved a child calling from the Carlyle area concerned with an

argument. Members at-tended, but no evidence in-dicated an offence had taken place. The second involved a two-year-old playing with the phone. The third call regarded an intoxicated in-dividual in the Carlyle area who was removed from a home by another relative; there were no further issues. In Manor multiple 911 calls were received regarding a civil disagreement between a landlord and tenant. The fi nal call was a misuse of 911 with an individual call-ing to get the number of the court office because they didn’t have the number; the caller was given a warning.Assaults Two assaults were re-ported during this time. Both remain under inves-tigation. The fi rst involved a fi ght at a residence in the Carlyle area. One of the in-dividuals left the residence and there were no further issues. The second assault regarded a fi ght in the Car-lyle area.Assistance Assistance was given

to the Regina Police Service in executing a warrant to an individual in Carlyle. A woman in Carlyle had locked her keys in her vehicle with her child. RCMP was not needed as the woman’s husband ar-rived with a spare set of keys. Fingerprints were taken for an individual to acquire a passport. Members were request-ed by the Weyburn Hospital to locate an individual in the Carlyle area. The individual was found.Driving infractions and ac-cidents A reportable motor ve-hicle collision occurred near Arcola. A total of $21,000 worth of damage was done when a loader rolled in the ditch. There were no charges or injuries involved. Two hit and runs were reported: the fi rst involved a white Ford Fusion being damaged in Carlyle and the second involved a black Hyundai Tucson damaged in Arcola. A single vehicle ac-

cident occurred in near Parkman. There were no injuries. Members responded to a motor vehicle collision near Wawota. The trailer hitch came off of the truck and slid into the ditch. No one was injured. Two speeding tickets were issued: the fi rst was to a 30-year-old male near Arcola who was fi ned $184 and the second was to an 18-year-old male was tick-eted $188. RCMP received a call about a driver who may not have a licence. Members checked and the driver did. A suspicious driver was reported in the Carlyle area and is currently under investigation. Near Carlyle two in-dividuals were stopped in a vehicle. The 26-year-old male was charged with possession of a controlled substance and having open liquor in a vehicle. The driver, a 20-year-old male, was charged with stunting. Six reports of erratic drivers were received by RCMP: one was along Hwy 9, another occurred along Hwy 13, the third took place near Manor, another was reported near Forget, a fi fth involved a vehicle near Carlyle on Hwy 9 which was swerving all over the place at various speeds, and the fi nal involved a semi which was swerving along the road. All incidents re-main under investigation.False alarms Four false alarms were responded to by members. The fi rst was to an alarm to the Kisbey area where a smoke machine for Hallowe’en had set it off. The next false alarm was in Arcola where a dog trapped inside a house tripped the alarm. The third false alarm took place in Kisbey where an individual forgot to tell people they would be there and accidentally set the alarm off; all was well. The fi nal false alarm occurred at a residence in Carlyle. The back door was swinging open, but there were no signs of a break and enter.Alcohol related infractions An impaired driver was stopped north of Car-lyle. The 18-year-old fe-male was charged with having a blood alcohol content of over 0.08 and with impaired operation of a motor vehicle. There was a possible impaired driver reported north of Carlyle. The opera-tor of the vehicle was not located. Members responded to a report of an erratic driver in the Arcola area, which resulted in a 20-year-old charged with driving over 0.08 and with impaired op-eration of a motor vehicle. RCMP received a call regarding a possible im-paired driver from the Kis-bey area although the pos-sible driver hadn’t left yet. There were no further calls regarding this instance.

By Lynne Bell The Moose Mountain Health Care Recruitment Com-mittee is urging area residents to save the date and purchase tickets early for their gala for a good cause-the Nov. 29 dinner and Anders Magic show at Arcola’s Prairie Place Hall. “We’ve sold out the all of the years we’ve been do-ing this except one,” says director Sheila Sim of Arcola. “One year, we went from 20 percent of tickets sold to 100 percent in four days. We urge people to book their seats in advance and by doing so, help us keep health care in the area.” “The evening begins with a cash bar, followed by dinner and entertainment, provided this year by Anders Magic, a comic magician and interactive entertainer. The food for the meal is donated by Carlyle businesses and one of the convening groups at Prairie Place has offered to cook and serve the meal, so it’s a great cause to support, with every dollar possible going toward the recruitment and retention of medical personnel in the area. We’d also like to encourage people to book a table for their Christmas parties.” Even though the annual event has often been a sold-out success in the past, Sim says the recruitment committee cannot afford to rest on its laurels. “It never gets quiet,” she says. “There’s always something on the go. Even if it looks like we’ve got everything we need, we can never get comfortable. We’ve always got to stay on top of things when it comes to ongoing recruitment.” “Our group came together in 2006, when we were fi rst told the hospital in Arcola was closing due to a nursing shortage. We managed to recruit one nurse immediately, and one nurse down the road. We’ve had to get creative. We especially encourage people that have grown up in the area or who haved lived here before to come back.” Sim says one of the biggest challenges regarding physician recruitment is often retention. “That’s where

Moose Mountain Health Care Recruitment Committee’s gala for a good cause

we’ve really been trying to step up the pace,” she says. “For example, there are four homes in Arcola. One is owned by the Town of Arcola, one by the R.M. of Brock, one by the Moose Mountain Health Care Corporation operating as the Arcola Family Health Care Clinic, and one by us. The R.M. of Moose Mountain was kind enough to give us a mortgage, and we actually make monthly mortgage payments on that house, as part of our efforts to retain medical professionals for the area.” “We’ve shingled it and painted it and we’ve spent $1,500 to put in air conditioning. Those things all add up, and they’re all part of our retention efforts,” adds Sim. Fellow committee member Lynn Brady of Carlyle agrees. “We’re in a much better place right now than we were when we started, but we can’t quit. It was so scary a couple of years ago when we had closures. We’ve worked together with Sun Country and we’ve worked together with our communities. It can’t be a Carlyle thing, or an Arcola thing. We’ve had great support from both businesses and individuals throughout the area and we need that to con-tinue.” “Physician retention is so important, because among other things, we still need to make sure that we have access to primary care. To do that, one of the things we need to do is to make our communities places that medical profession-als see as a good place to live in and raise their families in.” “Supporting this event is one way to help make that happen.” The Moose Mountain Health Care and Recruitment Committee’s fundraiser, featuring entertainment by Anders Magic, takes place Nov. 29 at Prairie Place Hall in Arcola, beginning with cocktails at 6:30 p.m., supper from 7-8 p.m., and Anders Magic taking the stage at 8:15 p.m. Tickets are $45 and are available at Pharmasave in Carlyle at 453-4466, or by calling Lynn Brady at 453-2819, Sheila Sim at 577-8222 or Brenda Walter at 455-2500.

Prairie Dog Drive-In honoured at ABEX Awards Gala

(1-r) Frances Boutin, Ray Boutin, Simone Boutin, Donald Bou-tin, Janelle Boutin, and Shelley Boutin were all present when Carlyle’s Prairie Dog Drive Inn was honoured at the 2014 ABEX Awards Gala in Regina on Nov.1. The Prairie Dog was short-listed for the Commu-nity Cornerstone Award, which recognizes classic Saskatchewan businesses. In a hotly-contested race, the winner was Ted Matheson’s Mens Wear of Prince Albert. Thanking all who voted for them, the Boutin family dedicated their award to their late father and grandfather, Lionel Boutin, whom son Ray Boutin says was the Prairie Dog’s, “Unoffi cial greeter and source of inspiration and encouragement to his family.”

By Kelly Running The Town of Carlyle held a regular meeting of council on Wednesday, Nov. 5 to discuss various topics regarding the town.Lights out Concerns about lights being out in town were brought to the council’s at-tention. SaskPower will be notifi ed. This concern also brought up the SaskPower App for smart phones which allow individuals to pinpoint where lights are out without having to call SaskPower.Sun Country meeting Alderman Martin Tourand had attended a Sun Country meeting. He described it as being a workshop type of event focused on physician recognition and retention. Ideas were presented from those attending of what they have done in the past.

Additionally there had been discussion of a pos-sible creation of a Region-al Recruitment Committee for a stronger resource in doctor retention.Cornerstone Community Planning Group The Cornerstone Community Planning Group had held a meeting in late October. Alderman Brian Romaniuk explained the group was doing well and had discussed ideas surrounding funding of recreational facilities in town. Being planned is a way to help fund projects through a 50/50 split in costs between the organi-zation and the recreation facility. This will promote fundraising for achiev-ing goals, while lessening the burden of how much will have to be raised by the different recreational groups. There will be stipulations surrounding what the Community Plan-ning Group will help with and more information will be made available as the plans are fi nalized.

Bylaw readings Bylaw No. 2014-13, A Bylaw to Provide for the Abatement of Nuisances was introduced and read a fi rst time. Further read-ings were not conducted as the councillors wished to read through the document closely to ensure its word-ing is correct. Bylaw No. 2014-14, A Bylaw to Amend Zoning Bylaw 2010-06 was read for the fi rst time as well. Councillors were unhappy with the wording and amendments were required before continuing with the second reading.Correspondence The Town of Carlyle declined to participate with the Rapid Growth Communities Team. There was insuffi cient informa-tion regarding what the Rapid Growth Communi-ties Team does and the information that had been provided the councillors felt they had already dealt with.Well house repairs and maintenance

Well house needs repairs after rodents chew wires Well house repairs need to be completed after rodents chewed through some wires. Delco provided a quote and the Town is currently waiting on their insur-ance to say whether the damage is covered or not. The Town would also like to look into preventative measures to stop further rodent damage. Delco has also been given the contract for the Annual Maintenance Agreement. Cost is comparable to last year’s and with the system being Delco’s the councillors felt that they would be the best to have in case of an emergency.Upcoming by-election A date for a by-election was selected; it will be held on Jan. 21, 2015. Nominations will be accepted soon to fi ll Roy Olmstead’s position. Olmstead passed away recently. He had given numerous years to the town as an employee and further years to the Town of Carlyle as an alderman.

By Kelly Running “I like this one,” Roy Olmstead said with a smile to town council last September before their regular meeting. Though he said this to council he was looking at the reporter who had taken a photo of him a week prior. Con-tinuing he added, “She took a photo my wife and I and some friends at the 40th Museum celebra-tions and didn’t write in the description that we were artifacts.” The photo Olmstead referred to ac-companies this article. It was this charm and wit, which made Olm-stead approachable and friendly. Combined with his limitless knowledge of the Town of Carlyle, he was a well respected and dedicated individual to the community. Roy Charles Olm-stead passed away at the age of 73-years-old on Friday, Oct. 31. Olmstead had been an integral part in the Town of Carlyle, having worked for the town and then having be-come an alderman serving on town council. Olmstead dedicated his life to Carlyle working from Oct. 1, 1973, to Sept. 30, 2002, as the town

Years of dedication to Carlyle: town says good-bye to Roy Olmstead

superintendent. He ran for council in 2003 during the regular elections, but didn’t make it into council until the following year during a by-election when Randy Brady resigned. Since 2004, Olmstead continued to serve Carlyle being on council until his passing. Having been on coun-cil for a decade and having worked as a town em-ployee for nearly three de-cades, Olmstead dedicated a lot to the community and was a source of knowledge for many on town council. “He will defi nitely be

missed,” Martin Tourand, alderman, explained. “In the short time I have been on council I came to see he knew the town and had knowledge very few in town would. At 73-years-old he could have been doing many other things, but chose to continue serving as a councillor.” Don Shirley, a past mayor of Carlyle, added, “Roy had a lot of experi-ence. Roy always had a connection to the people of this town.

Olmstead recently passed away and will be missed by a community which he gave 39 years to through working as the town superintendent and serving on council.

By Calvin Daniels Grain transportation is obviously a huge issue for farmers. That has been the case for decades in reality, and clearly that was brought into much tighter focus in the 2013-14 crop year in the face of the largest crop in the history of the Canadian Prairies. The massive crop of course contributed to the extreme bottle neck farmers faced in trying to get grain to market, although the rail companies weren’t exactly doing a bang up job in terms of the getting grain moving through the system. The result was that while there were foreign markets which came calling for product, the system simply couldn’t get grain from the farm gate to port position in anywhere near a timely fashion to make all the sales come to fruition. In the end the situation forced the federal government to implement regulations which set targets

for CP and CN in terms of weekly grain movements to deal with the grain congestion backlog. It helped in terms of moving the glut through the system, although it was far from a perfect solution. Forcing movements based on gross tonnage targets is simply not the best way to meet the intricacies of the grain system. So it was with some defi nite interest I read the Grain Millers Harvest Showdown Grains Expo was holding a panel discussion of grain transportation. The panel was made up of people representing various sectors of the grain industry. It was an opportunity to hopefully hear some fresh ideas about how to address the transportation problem long term.However, the panel focused most of their times trotting out ideas which have been talked about before with little impact. One speaker spoke of a need for a strong livestock sector, and more processing on the Prairies to divert

grain from export, and reliance on rail service.The hog sector saw high effi ciency barns spring up a number of years ago, based on availability of grain, labour and land. It was a common sense idea, but the industry ended up awash in red ink as labour and grain prices climbed. It’s not coming back anytime soon.The feedlot sector fared little better. A facility in Rhein was Business of the Year for the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce one year and out of business a few short years later. As for processing, that was supposed to come when the old ‘Crow Rate’ for export grain was dismantled. It didn’t happen. Now the end of the single-desk selling of export grain by the Canadian Wheat Board is supposed to fi re processing development. That is yet to be seen, but it is likely to fall short of creating a major dent in grain headed to export any time soon. And there were other old chestnuts too, but we’ll hold those for part two next week.

news We had our second meeting of the year on Sunday, Nov. 2 in the Arcola School library. We had a discussion on what we wanted to do for our Christmas party. We decided as a group, to have pizza and a gift exchange on Dec. 7. That’s all the news for this month . . . until next month.

Lane NewellReporter

Harvest is essentially complete in the province as the majority of the crop is now in the bin, ac-cording to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report. However, there are some crops, such as fl ax, canary seed and sunfl owers, left to be combined. Harvest was chal-lenging for most produc-ers, mainly due to delayed maturity and excess mois-ture. Cereal and pulse crop quality remains an is-sue for much of the prov-ince, with the majority of cereal and pulse crops rating well below the 10-year average. Yields vary throughout the province

and are reported as aver-age in most cases. Yields are reported as 38 bush-els per acre for hard red spring wheat, 37 bushels per acre for durum, 82 bushels per acre for oats, 58 bushels per acre for barley, 31 bushels per acre for canola, 34 bushels per acre for peas and 1,371 lb. per acre for lentils. Average hay yields on dry land are reported as 1.5 tons per acre (alfalfa), 1.4 tons per acre (alfalfa/brome hay), 1.3 tons per acre (other tame hay), one ton per acre (wild hay) and 1.8 tons per acre (green-feed). On irrigated land, the estimated average hay yields are 2.2 tons per acre

(alfalfa hay), 1.6 tons per acre (alfalfa/brome hay), 1.7 tons per acre (other tame hay), 2.3 tons per acre (wild hay) and 2.7 tons per acre (greenfeed). Cattle producers have indicated that they have adequate to surplus winter feed supplies. The number of acres seeded to winter cereals is below average in most areas. A late harvest, wet fi eld conditions and poor seed quality in many areas limited the number of acres seeded this fall. Some areas of the province received both rainfall and snowfall this past week. Across the province, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as 13 per cent surplus, 81 per cent adequate, fi ve per cent short and one per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as seven per cent sur-plus, 87 per cent adequate and six per cent short. The southeast and east-central regions are reporting excess moisture in many fi elds. Farmers are busy completing fall work and bringing cattle home from pastures.

Final crop report 2014

The southeastern region has the major-ity of the crop in the bin, although there are some fl ax, canaryseed and du-rum crops remaining in the fi eld. There are reports that some fi elds may not be harvested until the ground freezes or even next spring due to excess moisture. Harvest was very chal-lenging for producers as wet conditions delayed progress and caused qual-ity issues. Crop yields are variable across the region, depending on moisture received throughout the season and impact of diseases such as fusarium in cereals and root rot in pulses. Going into winter, cropland topsoil moisture

Southeastern Saskatchewan (Crop District 1 - Carnduff, Estevan, Redvers, Moosomin and Kipling areas;

Crop District 2 - Weyburn, Milestone, Moose Jaw, Regina and Qu’Appelle areas; Crop District 3ASE -

Radville and Lake Alma areas)conditions are rated as 20 per cent surplus, 79 per cent adequate and one per cent short. On hay land and pasture, topsoil moisture is rated as 14 per cent surplus, 85 per cent adequate and one per cent short. Crop districts 1B and 2B are reporting 38 per cent and 29 per cent, respectively, of cropland acres as having surplus topsoil moisture, while 35 per cent of hay land and pasture acres in 1B have surplus topsoil moisture. There are concerns that winter will bring large amounts of snow that may cause fl ooding issues in the spring. Average dryland hay yields for the region are as follows (in tons per acre):

alfalfa and alfalfa/brome 1.6; other tame hay 1.4; wild hay 1.1 and green-feed 1.8. Average irrigated hay yields for the region are 2.5 tons per acre for alfalfa and two tons per acre for other tame hay. The majority of livestock producers are indicating they have adequate to surplus supplies of feed (hay, straw, greenfeed and grain). Crop reporters have indicated that winter ce-real acres are down from previous years, mainly due to a late harvest and excess moisture.Farmers are busy com-pleting fall work, haul-ing bales, bringing cattle home from pasture and putting machinery away.

Brenda Junk and Gloria Girard were accompanied by their mother, Dot Girard of Redvers and travelled to Sylvan Lake, AB on Oct. 30 where they visited with the family. Brenda stayed with Jaxon and Jace Junk while their parents, Jody and Jill were away on a holiday trip to Nashville. While there they also visited with Kara, Rob and Morgan Applegate. Gloria spent time visiting her son, Steven, Brandi and Nora Bradshaw. Morgan accompanied them when they returned home Nov. 7. Edel Cowan spent Nov. 3 in Estevan where she had a dental appoint-ment and while there visited with Murray, Fiona Cowan and boys. Sincere sympathy is extended to the family of Adonie (Mrs. Wilfred) Demas, who passed away on Nov. 5 at the age of 93 years. She was a resident of the Moose Mountain Lodge at Carlyle. Inter-ment will take place at the Oxbow Cemetery. Con-dolences are also extended to all other relatives of Demas family. Gray and Edel Cowan were visitors in Regina November 6 and 7 where

they visited with son Jeff and attended an appoint-ment. Act One Productions held their fi rst meeting of the season on Nov. 6 with a few members in atten-dance. They have decided to hold their annual drama production again in the spring (March 2015). The club will NEED YOUR HELP so PLEASE AT-TEND their next meeting. If unable to attend but willing to help CONTACT one of the club members ASAP, always remem-ber – “MANY HANDS MAKES LESS WORK” for all. Hope we’ll see you around. Hip Hooray – the Riders fi nally pulled off a victory (24-17) on Nov. 8 against Edmonton in Regina. The next game is the Western Semi-fi nal on Nov. 16. Go – Riders – Go! Margaret Peet is spending a few days visiting with her daughter, Joleen, Paul Hoffman and boys Connor and Cole at Viking, AB. Ainsley Cowan had a sleep-over and spent a couple of days with her grandparents Gray and Edel while her parents, Tim and Shelly attended the Fleetwood Mac

concert in Winnipeg on Monday, November 10. Morgan Applegate of Sylvan Lake is spending sometime visiting with her grandparents, Gary and Brenda Junk and other family members in the area. While here she is enjoying watching her cousin, Ethan Junk play hockey. They will be attending a wedding in Regina on November 15, at which time Morgan will be returning home with her parents, Kara and Rob Applegate. The Alida Lion’s club will have hosted their annual senior’s supper on Nov. 13 at the Alida Hall. Hope you were able to attend, I’m afraid we had be missing it this year, but thought of everyone there enjoying the delicious supper that would have been served by the mem-bers. Sorry folks – I will be away, so there will be no news in the paper for the remainder of November. But please call me (306-443-2496) – leave your name and I’ll call you when I’m back in the area. I should have news in the paper for the fi rst week in December. Until then – keep smiling – drive safely and take care.

Congratulations to Cyril and Florence Hutchi-son who celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary last weekend. They had a come and go tea at the Wawota Drop In. Their actual wedding date was Oct. 29. Happy birthday to Rene Jacques who had a “surprise” birthday party on Nov. 7. His family planned a social evening at the Wawota Town Hall.I checked the list of win-ners for the Friends of the Riders Lottery and the Hospitals of Regina Lottery. I did not see any Wawota winners in the Friends of the Riders Lot-tery but in the Hospitals of Regina Lottery, Denise Dash won Audiovox Bluetooth Wireless Speak-ers and Ken Appel won a Sony20.1 Megapixel Cam-era and a Keurig Coffee Brewer and Anna Marie Struble from Kenosee Lake also won a Keurig Coffee Brewer. Congratu-lations to these winners. An appreciative crowd enjoyed the musical talents of The Great Plains (Darrel and Saskia) at the United Church on Nov. 4. They were brought here as a fund raiser for The United Church Raise the Rafters group. After a stellar season, Golf Kenosee was named PGA Saskatchewan’s Facility of the year. Kyle Mulligan, head golf professional accepted the award on Oct. 28. The comments were a great golf course and a great restaurant with a beautiful view. How lucky we are to

have such a facility in our area. A new book “Legacy of Worship” is fi lled with pictures and histori-cal information of many churches in the southeast area. It is a newly pub-lished book which is a se-quel to “Legacy of Stone”. Margaret Hrynuik and Frank Korvemaker are the authors and Larry Easton, a former Wawota resident supplied the photographs. These books are available at the Moosomin Dental Center with some of the proceeds going to “Four Kids in Ghana” a project that is helping four young people get established in Ghana. A banquet and awards evening was held at Dauphin on Nov. 8. Terri Tomlinson , Brandon Ben-ner and Dexter Mondor from Wawota attended this event. Three members from the General’s Foot-ball Team won All Star awards.A couple of months ago I saw the short list for , what I thought was the Giller Prize Awards so I ordered the list. I tho9ught for once when the awards were presented I would have all of the books read and have a better idea of why the winner was chosen. After I had read a couple of the books, I wondered why some of the authors were Brit-ish and Australian as the Giller Prize is for Cana-dians only. Looking more closely I realized that I had the list for the Booker Prize which is awarded to

books written in English and published by United Kingdom. As I was read-ing my third book, “The Narrow Road to the Deep North” by Richard Fla-nagan it was announced that it had won the Booker Prize. It was the story of Australian prisoners of war who survived the building of the Burma Railway. Apparently Richard’s father worked on this railway and he died the day that Richard fi nished his manuscript! It was a well written book and told a good story but was so graphic. After real-izing my error I got the right list and found I had already read 2 on the list and since have read two more. There are 6 on the list so will not get to read them as the Giller Award Night is Nov. 10! More about that next week! As Halloween ap-proached there was some apprehension about the community having a list for trick or treaters, a Pumpkin Pete Party at the town hall in conjunction with the trade show and UNICEF posters being sold. From all reports the house to house trick or treaters was success-ful with some houses reporting more than 100 callers. The party was well attended and enjoyed by those who did so. The UNICEF posters showed a total of 77 sold with an extra $50.00 in donations. I sent $435.00 to UNICEF last week! Thank you for your support. I guess there was room for all three events!

He had no airs about him and was always mindful of people. He was concerned with seniors and kids, and had a connection to all ages and everybody in the community. We all made decisions based on people, but you always heard Roy speak about how a deci-sion would affect people because he always empa-thized with them.” “He was incredibly kind and thoughtful; and he really believed in Car-lyle.” Olmstead’s memorial service was held last week on Wednesday, Nov. 5. A kind and caring community member, he served Carlyle faithfully for 39 years and touched many people’s hearts with his friendly and compas-sionate demeanor. “Roy was a very big role model for me and is the reason I signed onto council,” Jenn Sedor, Town of Carlyle council-

From page 18 – Roy Olmstead

lor, explained. “It was nice to know someone so dedi-cated and community ori-ented. His passing leaves a void in our community.”

By Kelly Running With our fi rst snowfall of the season, more snow is expected, and with winter comes ice and the importance of remembering to prepare for winter driving. Preparing for winter comes with preparing an emergency kit to be carried in the vehicle. Items to be kept in the trunk include a shovel, some sand, a warning light, extra clothing and footwear, booster cables, extra windshield washer fl uid with antifreeze, snack bars, “emergency” food and water. Other items suggested to carry inside the vehicle include an ice scraper and brush, fl ashlight, fi rst aid kit, matches and a survival candle, as well as a blanket. CAA also suggests individuals to carry a fully charged cell phone in case of emergency. Before traveling, it is also important to conduct a vehicle checkup: looking at the electrical system of the vehicle, brakes, tires, the exhaust system, heating/cooling system, windshield wipers, and keeping

an eye on the fuel tank ensuring you have enough for not only the trip, but to use as a source of heat if needed. Though these are precautionary items to carry on a trip as well as regular maintenance, it is also important to plan ahead. Checking the weather and road conditions before taking to the road are ways to possibly avoid traveling through storms. It may also help encourage drivers to take extra time to get to and from one’s destination according to road conditions. Cruise control can actually put a vehicle into a skid as it hydroplanes, causing the tires to lose contact with the road surface and accelerate to a greater speed. Reducing power to tires prevents skids, so when wheels continue to spin it increases the chances of losing control of one’s vehicle. (www.ama.ab.ca)

Snow and ice make the roads slippery resulting in a longer distance needed to stop.

According to CAA, snow and ice are more slippery at this time of year with the temperature nearer to 0°C than it is at -20°C. Black ice is also more likely to be found at temperatures between 4°C and -4°C. Black ice often forms in shaded areas of highways, bridges, and overpasses. Though it is diffi cult to tell where black ice is, it is important to watch for black and shiny patches on the highway. While on the road it is also necessary to leave more space between the vehicle in front of you and your own as stopping takes longer when the roads are slippery with ice and snow. According to Forensic Dynamics Inc. their Stopping Distance Calculator calculates stopping in snow while traveling 100km/h at 131.22m as opposed to 56.23m on dry asphalt. While travelling at 120km/h, which through The Observer’s driving experience is the typical speed on Hwy 13, it takes 188.96m to stop as opposed to 80.98m on dry asphalt.

From page 25 – Winter driving

Check the weather forecast and give yourself extra time to get to your destination before you leave.

On ice traveling at 100km/h can result in braking taking 262.45m, while the vehicle can also be put into a skid. At 120km/h it can take up to 377.92m to stop. If something does happen that results in your being trapped in a storm or a snow bank, stay calm. Avoid heavy shoveling in the cold, but do make sure

to check the tailpipe and make sure it is not covered by snow. It is suggested that keeping a window cracked open on the side of the vehicle sheltered from the wind supplies fresh air. Use a survival candle to keep warm as opposed to the vehicle’s heater. Staying awake is also important to remain

attentive in watching for traffi c or searchers and exercising your arms and legs while in the vehicle. Ultimately it is important to be prepared for anything and although being stranded on the side of the road is not a usual occurrence for most, it is a very real concern during these coming cold months.

By Kelly Running The Stoughton Pool Committee is excited to host three nights of mayhem to raise funds for their outdoor pool which is in need of a new pool liner. The three nights of mayhem will begin on Thursday, Nov. 20, with the comedy show Puck & Funny. Described as an evening of entertainment featuring live, stand-up comedians these Canadian entertainers are sure to bring the laughs. The next night, already sold out, is

Three nights of mayhem coming to Stoughtonfeaturing Colin Grey a magician. While the fi nal night will see Saskatoon Soaps Improv Comedy group come out for a Murder Mystery Improv dinner theatre. They’re known for their “unique character based spin on improvised theatre, the soaps have established themselves as a comedy fi xture in Western Canada,” the Town of Stoughton’s website reads. Tickets are still available for the Thursday and Saturday nights through contacting Danielle Hoffman at

(306)457-7651 or by stopping by the Poplar Tree Inn. The ticket, $40 each, comes with dinner and a show and will all go towards the pool fundraiser. “We’re so thankful for the support of the local businesses, mostly local businesses although one that sponsored the entertainment was from Calgary,” Danielle Hoffman explained. “Our entertainment costs were $10,000 and our sponsors gave enough to fully support this, which is huge for the pool because everything we make through ticket sales, alcohol sales, and the silent auction will go directly to the pool liner.” Each night will also see silent auctions with different items: “The items are all different. Puck & Funny helped us with the silent auction. There are autographed pictures of the Oilers and Blue Jays, posters from the T.V. show Seinfeld which have been authenticated, and just really great items.” Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. each day with supper held at 6:30 p.m., and the entertainment to follow at 8 p.m. With great community support already the three nights of mayhem are shaping up to be a fun weekend of entertainment, laughter, and enjoyment.

“Buying that perfect gift is far too much

thinking for me . . . The right size, the right colour, the right brand,

I don’t have a clue!”
