In southeast Saskatchewan it’s a call they dread, a collision. A heavy truck has collided with a vehicle and it doesn’t look good. People are trapped, injured, and possibly dying or already dead. With people in trouble a fi re department must jump into action. People are relying on them and a fi refi ghter must make critical, quick decisions when in the moment. Whether the call involves a semi tractor, a hazardous materials trailer, a cement truck, or a school bus, training is an extremely important aspect for a fi refi ghter to be able to respond to any situation and keep a level head while doing so.

Students attended the two-day educational session from Carnduff , Redvers, Alameda, Whitewood, Stoughton, and Carlyle. “I think the guys are learning a lot and it’s always good practice for them,” Carlyle Fire and Rescue Chief, Trent Lee, explained. The fi rst day involved a scenario where a cement truck was rolled on top of a car, while Sunday involved two scenarios. The fi rst scenario on Sunday involved a collision between a school bus and a car in the morning, and then in the afternoon a rolled hazardous material semi-trailer had been set up on top of three vehicles. On hand both days was Greg Johnston with Flying G Trucking who had brought a picker truck out to ensure safety while working and he also aided the fi re department in their eff orts in one scenario as they may need in a real world situation. “Flying G Trucking has always been very good to us,” Lee stated. In each scenario Schmitz took the participants through the set up situation. From there he encouraged

From Front page - Fire trainingthe 15 people taking part in the course to analyze the situation and discern various ways to untangle the wreckages. They would then decide on what they thought would be the best possible route to take in handling the situation and proceed with input given or questions asked by Schmitz while the participants were working. The course saw participants use a variety of skills from lifting and blocking vehicles to using the Jaws of Life. The variety of scenarios were worked through with success both days and each of the attending participants learned a lot while being able to go through each situation without the sense of urgency which comes with working on emergency calls. Being able to go at their own pace and discuss the diff erent happenings while working was benefi cial. Practice makes permanent the actions and decisions needed to be made while handling emergency situations, which makes education and working on these scenarios extremely important.

The Heavy Extrication Course was well-received by a total of 15 participants from Carndu� , Redvers, Alameda, Whitewood, Stoughton, and Carlyle. They were joined by instructor Randy Schmitz of Calgary, Greg Johnston of Flying G Trucking who assisted on the weekend, and Carlyle Fire Chief Trent Lee.

Monster Lollipops

Ted Jaleta has said, “I’ve run for pleasure and I’ve run for my life.” The Regina marathon runner, author, humanitarian and Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame inductee recently delivered his inspiring, challenging message to students at Arcola School. Read more in next week’s Observer.

These candy monsters may be small, but they’re mighty delicious. Build the creatures around a lollipop, and slip them into tall cellophane bags tied with decorative ribbon if you’re using them for party favors. Remember: When you snip, slice, or poke candies, you expose a stickiness that helps adhere them to one another. The bigger the exposed part, the stronger the bond will be. Tools and MaterialsKids’ scissorsToothpicks (used to poke the candy and stick on features)White and black gumdropsLollipopsWhite spice dropsGreen candy mintsBlack shoestring licoriceRed sprinkles Monster Lollipops How-To 1. For each individual monster, you’ll need white and black gumdrops, a lollipop, 3 white spice drops, a green candy mint, black shoestring licorice, and a red sprinkle. 2. Cut top and bottom off white gumdrop and press to top of lollipop. Cut top off black gumdrop and add for monster’s hair. Cut a white spice drop in half lengthwise for arms, and cut tops off 2 more to use for legs. 3. Press the limbs into place on the body. Poke holes on “face” and add mint nose, snipped licorice eyes and neck bolts, and a red sprinkle mouth.

With children across Saskatchewan getting their costumes ready for Halloween on Saturday, local agencies have come out with tips for safe trick-or-treating. The Canadian Centre for Child Protection, a Winnipeg-based non-profi t organization that promotes children’s personal safety, has released a resource guide for parents called 5 Habits for a Safe Halloween. “These safety habits are easy to implement into your family’s Halloween routine and create a safety foundation that you can build on year by year as children become more independent,” Noni Classen, the centre’s director of education, said in a news release Tuesday. “Halloween is a great time to discuss some of the real-world situations children may face and build up their safety competence.” So what should parents discuss with their kids before Halloween night? Here are the centre’s fi ve safety tips: 1. Make a plan. Plan a trick-or-treating route. Talk with older kids about their plans and remind them

5 tips for safe trick-or-treating this Halloweento stay in familiar areas with well-lit streets and others nearby. Make sure all children know “safe neighbours” they can go to in case of emergency. 2. Supervise trick-or-treaters. The centre recommends that parents supervise young children and make plans with older children to check in regularly and return home by a certain time. 3. Buddy up: Make sure kids travel together. Teach your children about the buddy system and remind them that there’s safety in numbers. 4. Remind children to trust their instincts. Remind children to be aware of their surroundings when trick-or-treating and talk about ways to deal with situations where they may feel uncomfortable or afraid. Options include getting help from a buddy, calling home or going to a safe neighbour. 5. Encourage children to be assertive. “Teach children to set clear boundaries about personal space. They should never go inside a home while trick-or-treating without checking with you,” the centre says. “If someone approaches them on the street and asks them to go somewhere with them, remind them not to go, run away and tell a safe adult what happened.”

Carlyle’s Farm Credit Canada offi ce engaged both Carlyle Elementary School and Arcola School in gathering food items for the FCC Drive Away Hunger 2015 campaign. The Carlyle Elementary School collected 283.4 lbs of food and Arcola School collected 290.6 lbs helping the local FCC offi ce in their eff orts. The food drive lasted from May 4 until Oct. 23 in communities across the country in an eff ort to aid Canadian food banks.

FCC Drive Away Hunger campaign “When it comes to our basic needs in life, food is at the top of the list. Most of us are fortunate to have enough to eat. Not everyone is so lucky,” Farm Credit Canada explains on their website. “That’s why Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is so passionate about FCC Drive Away Hunger. After all, we’re in the business of agriculture, which is the business of producing food. We know this is something close to the hearts of our customers and employees. It’s a way we can all come together to help Canadian food banks help those who go hungry – including kids, who sadly make up 36 percent of people who rely on food banks in our country.”

Students from Carlyle Elementary School join Farm Credit Canada employees who weighed a total of 283.4 lbs raised by the students.

Hallowe’en is here. Ghosts, ghouls, goblins, princesses, superheroes, and more will be fl ocking to the streets as they trick or treat, travelling door to door. Although Hallowe’en is extremely exciting for youth as they dress up and go door to door collecting candy, it is important to keep a few safety tips in mind regarding this thrilling night. The following tips are suggestions found on www.safekidscanada.ca to help keep youth safe on Hallowe’en night. Those who go trick or treating under the age of nine should be accompanied by an adult. This will allow the adult to ensure youth are safely crossing the road, not darting in and out of traffi c. Good pedestrian habits taught when children are young will resonate as they mature. The old adage, “stop, look, and listen,” doesn’t simply apply to railroad crossings. These are important in simply crossing a road as well. Hallowe’en is an exciting time and youth may dart across streets without considering the importance of crossing a street. Children should be encouraged to stop at the curb then look left, right, and left to make sure there are no oncoming vehicles or that a vehicle is stopping to allow them to cross. It is also encouraged for youth to be told to always cross at

crosswalks as it can be diffi cult to see anyone if coming off of the sidewalk between parked vehicles. Since, it may be dark out while children trick or treat a fl ashlight may also be necessary to ensure safety and make them more visible. Another important concern to keep in mind is for the selection of bright costumes that are visible in the dark. It is also possible to add refl ective tape to a child’s costume as a precautionary measure. Choosing face paint over a mask may also be benefi cial as masks may hinder a youth’s ability to see.

Kids in Hallowe’en costumes will be out and about on Saturday, Oct. 31, so keep an eye out for youth who will be out walking about and trick or treating.

Dealing with Canadian weather it is also suggested to dress the child warmly. Get a costume that will either fi t over their jackets or have them prepared to cover their costumes with warm clothing. Drivers are reminded to be on high alert, especially in residential areas. Driving slowly is suggested in case a sudden stop is demanded of the driver. Also encouraged is the slow entrance and exit of driveways as youth may dart past on the sidewalk at anytime. Stay safe and have fun.

In under a decade, Darlene Olsen’s fundrais-ing eff orts have raised over $407,000 for the ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ program, and more recently, the Moose Mountain Health Care Recruitment Pro-gram as well as the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foun-dation, Canada, which assists women and children who have experienced domestic violence.

The annual Creative Tables for Cancer fun-draiser has just celebrated its eighth year and although this year’s numbers weren’t available at press time, the fundraiser sells out every year and 2014’s edition raised $26,000.

This year, Olsen has been recognized nation-ally by the Direct Sellers Association of Canada’s award for volunteerism, as the recipient of this year’s ‘Making A Diff erence Award.’ Both Sher-ry Abbott, executive director of the Canadian Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association and Dawn Gerry of the Mary Kay Ash Chari-table Foundation, Canada have made repeat visits from Mississauga, Ontario-including this year-to attend Creative Tables for Cancer in Arcola.

“Darlene is pretty awesome,” says Abbott. “People like her are the heart of what we do. She understands that it’s not really just about the makeup. That’s a cre-ative tool that we’re using to work together as women and facing the (cancer) journey head-on.”

Gerry says Olsen’s award refl ects who she is. “To say Darlene has made a diff er-ence in her country is an understatement. She’s a leader, a mentor and a friend and her charitable activities are a relection of the woman she is.”

Olsen, who lives on a farm near Arcola with her husband, Allen, is a senior sales director for Mary Kay Cosmetics and has been a volunteer for almost 20 years for the ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ program at the Allan Blair Cancer Centre at Regina’s Pasqua Hospital, and says that fundraising was a natural next step in her ongoing volunteer journey for this and other causes that impact women.

“But it’s not about me,” she insists. “I get much more back by volunteering than anything I give. And I couldn’t do any of it without the help of many, many other people.”

“I’ve been with Mary Kay for almost 37 years,” says Olsen. “About 25 years ago, ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ came to Canada and about 19 years ago, it came to Regina. When I heard about the opportuni-ty to volunteer, I thought: ‘Geez, I’d like to do that.’”

Olsen explains that ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ is a free program dedicated to empowering women to

manage the eff ects that cancer and cancer treat-ments can have on their appearance, adding that if a woman looks more like herself, she can manage her illness with greater confi dence, and during the workshop, have a reprieve from the all-encompass-ing eff ects that a cancer diagnosis can have on an individual.

“I personally have never had cancer, so I don’t know what people really go

through,” says Olsen. “I have had close friends who have had cancer-and some have lost their battle. What I do know is that most of the time, it’s all about the cancer-and when they’re in the hospital, it’s all about the treatment, or if that’s done, talking about the next treatment.”

“Even when people leave the cancer clinic, peo-ple with cancer are asked ‘How are you?’ or ‘What can I do for you?’ It’s all with the best of intentions, but it’s still all about the cancer.”

“It can even be hard to be your normal self with your friends,” adds Olsen. “If you’re not sure if you’ll be feeling well, it’s hard to giggle and laugh, or plan a night at the movies or a day at the Mineral Spa, or any of those things girlfriends like to do.”

“At the ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ workshops, that’s two-and-a-half hours where it’s all about them,” says Olsen. “We don’t talk about the can-cer; we laugh. It’s a time where they can just forget about it.”

“At fi rst, they’re nervous, but within 10 min-utes, they laugh. They soon fi nd out that their Team Leader-me-is a goofball.”

“At the same time, they don’t have to pretend, either. But I would say that 90 to 95 per cent of the women we see at our workshops are over-the-top happy at the end of our session.”

Olsen stresses that confi dentiality is key and that none of the volunteer beauty professionals at the workshops give their last name or where they’re from and stresses, “We are not there to sell prod-uct.”

“To them, I’m just Darlene,” she says. “I don’t know them and they don’t know me. Nobody knows where anybody works, and we just use the products provided by ‘Look Good, Feel Better.’ They’re from a number of diff erent cosmetic companies-Mary Kay, Revlon, MAC, all of them.”

In addition to a makeover, each woman at a ‘Look Good, Feel Good’ workshop receives a case fi lled with cosmetics and skincare, bodycare, and nail care products.

“The products are donated by many, many cosmetic companies,” says Olsen. “But they’re also approved medically by the Canadian Cancer

Society, for use when they’re going through treat-ment. The cases are actually sealed shut and when we start to work on our clients, we cut the seal and that’s her kit. At the end of the session, they walk away with about $300 worth of product and they know how to use it.”

Olsen says workshop participants also receive a pair of ‘Sparkle Ball’ earrings courtesy of Regina’s Hillberg & Berk jewellers. “I tell them there’s no switching,” she laughs. “Because the pair they got is the pair they’re meant to have.”

During her almost-two decades as a ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ volunteer, Olsen says attitudes have changed, as well as the ages and numbers of people aff ected by cancer.

“Some things I’ll never forget,” she says. “The fi rst time a lady took off her wig, it was shocking.

Not because of the way she looked, but because 20 years ago, you didn’t see that. Now you do. Women undergoing treatment for cancer often choose not to wear a wig, a scarf, or anything.”

“It’s a lot more open now. Back then, everybody tried to keep it more private and secret.”

“But I still remember driving back to Arcola from Regina that day almost 20 years ago and thinking what a strong wom-an she must be.”

“Twenty years ago, the ladies were all older women and most were homemakers. Very few women we saw at the workshops back then had jobs outside the home,” adds Olsen. “Now we see a huge variety of women. The youngest I’ve seen was prob-ably 16 and the oldest was 85. And part of this whole age thing is that we are seeing younger and younger women with cancer at our workshops. We’ve seen young moms

in their thirties with busy lives, including full-time jobs.”

Olsen says that when she makes her drives into Regina from Arcola, she “has no idea who I’ll see that day, or what their story is.”

“Once I got a young grandma who got a make-over and also received a pair of ‘Sparkle Ball’ earrings. Her granddaughter was getting married and she said that for the past two months, she was dreading the wedding. When I fi nished her session, she told me that she was really looking forward to going. It’s such a simple thing-looking your best-but it gives you that confi dence.”

“That’s why I volunteer. People often ask me if it breaks my heart, but it doesn’t. It warms my heart.”

Olsen urges anyone who knows a woman un-dergoing cancer treatment in this area to contact ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ at the Allan Blair Cancer Centre in Regina or to simply call her.

“There are pamphlets in the waiting room and probably posters all over the place, but a friend of mine pointed out that when someone goes in for treatments, they’re often sitting there, zonked out or totally not thinking, because they’re afraid or sick or tired after treatment.”

“And that’s true,” she says. “When you’re scared, you don’t notice anything in a doctor’s of-fi ce.”

When asked, Olsen says that her commitment to the cause-both as a volunteer and a fundraiser- will continue.

“I don’t think I’ve ever, ever thought about quit-ting,” she says. “And the volunteers get much more out of it than the women we work with.”

“It’s just a feeling of doing something that’s worthwhile for someone who really appreciates it,” adds Olsen.

“Twenty years ago, was I this nice or compas-sionate or understanding, this caring? I don’t think I was.”

“Doing this has made me a better person.”For more information, visit www.lgfb.ca or call

Committed to Her Cause:Darlene Olsen’s Volunteer Journey

One of Darlene Olsen’s greatest supporters is her husband, Allen, pictured here with her. “She does well at whatever she decides to do,” he says. The couple’s combined e� orts along with volunteers, supporters, sponsors and attendees have made Creative Tables for Cancer a fundraising powerhouse. “It’s not about me,” says Darlene. “Everybody in this room, whether they’re a volunteer or a guest or a business owner who donates a prize for our silent auction, has made Creative Tables for Cancer what it is.”

The Moose Mountain R & R Wildlife Rehabilitation hosted their fi rst annual Moose Mountain Gone Wild fundraising evening on Saturday, Oct. 24, which raised $28,000. Gathered together at the Red Barn north of Kenosee Lake where approximately 200 people who enjoyed an evening of fun and entertainment, while supporting local eff orts. “It’s mind boggling what the community has done,” Cheryl Winkler, wildlife rehabilitator, exclaimed. The outpouring of support in dinner tickets sold and donated items for the auction, which totalled around 60 silent auction items and 12 live auction items. “Thank you all for coming out, I couldn’t do this by myself. There is an amazing group of people standing behind me, helping to make this all happen.” As Winkler thanked those in attendance for coming she explained, “I can multitask 40 animals at a time on bottles, but I’m a deer in the headlights up here in front of you all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, thank you for the support.” Winkler has been rehabilitating animals for the past 10 years. Moose Mountain Rehabilitation serves the entire southeast corner of the province. The non-profi t organization is fully funded through donations and Winkler’s artwork that she sells. Currently Winkler has 34 intakes including three moose, an elk, fi ve hawks, an eagle, raccoons, and more. She added that her strangest intake was a mouse, saying, “If a person has the compassion to bring the animal to me, I will do my best to get it to where it needs to be.” The evening began at 5 p.m. with cocktails

followed by supper, which included Ben Dubois’ famous roast beef. Sherry Moff at and Elaine Roth also put together a phenomenal dessert spread. Trevor Gowan acted as the evening’s MC, while Scott Bryce took on the role of auctioneer. This was followed by entertainment including Chris Byrne, Two Sharps and a Flat, as well as music by Jimmy G and the Cable Guys. The great support from the community was bolstered by a donation from Enbridge for $5,000 presented to Winkler for the wildlife rehab. The eff orts of the event will be used to help facilitate the rehabilitation of the animals in Winkler’s care and future intakes. “It’s 365 days a year,” Winkler has told The Observer. “Our ultimate aim is to release

healthy animals and birds back into the wild once they are able to survive in the wild again. That’s why we limit human

interaction. It’s for the animals’ protection. I’m the person who does all of the feeding, for that reason.” “We give tax receipts for any donation over $20, and we also accept in-kind donations of all types: food, household items such as garbage bags, paper towels, laundry soap and bleach, lumber, newpapers....There’s a whole wishlist on our website, www.moosemountainrnr.org.” Additionally Winkler adds, “We also accept regular meat, game meat and produce. Sometimes people are just cleaning out their fridge or freezer and just drop stuff off that they don’t want anymore; but it’s still good for us to use.” While thanking people for their eff orts, she included the Carlyle Co-op who has been an amazing support through giving their expired produce, which can still be used by the wildlife rehabilitator. Overall the evening was a great success, which was enjoyed by all. It was one which Winkler had been worried about, unsure of what the turnout and reception would be like, but one that she was elated with in the end.

The delicious meal, which included Ben Dubois’ famous roast beef, was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone in attendance.

In an eff ort to better understand the thoughts surrounding ATV Trails in Moose Mountain Provincial Park, Saskatchewan Parks asked Aecom to conduct an open house event to receive public opinion regarding the trails. A local meeting was hosted on Tuesday, Oct. 20, between 4:30 p.m. And 7:30 p.m. at the Moose Mountain Provincial Park Recreation Hall. Concerns arose surrounding a lack of signage, the wetness of the back country, if someone gets into trouble while in the back country how it would be handled, disrespect of the animals and land, as well as a lack of enforcement on the trails. The recreational trails currently in use are the snowmobile trails, which with the wetter seasons lately have led to issues. So, before making any decisions regarding trails, Saskatchewan Parks wanted to see what public opinion was regarding them. Although there were concerns, many people were for the trails as they enjoy them in a recreational capacity suggesting that now would be an opportune time to rework the trails with the wetter back country in recent years. Many also wanted the trails open for longer periods of time and there were suggestions that an ATV club could be formed to help take care of them. In an eff ort to better understand local sentiment regarding the park the open house

was well attended, while an online survey is also open: www.surveymonkey.com/r/MMPP_ATV_Trails_Survey. This survey is open until Nov. 10. On Tuesday, Oct. 20, Andy Gehl with Aecom, explained that they already had 132 responses through the online survey. “We encourage everyone who has any concerns or suggestions to take the survey and voice their opinion,” Gehl added. “We’ve held diff erent meetings to discuss technical thoughts and have held a couple of open houses, as well as meetings in Regina about environmental aspects.” “There have been quite a few responses and there have, so far, been common themes.” Aecom will submit their report to Sask Parks at the end of November and from there Sask Parks will make their decisions regarding the matter.

Researching ATV Trails in Moose Mountain Provincial Park

Aecom is currently conducting a study on behalf of Saskatchewan Parks regarding the ATV Trails in the Moose Mountain Provincial Park. They recently stopped in the park for an open house, but have an ongoing survey up at www.surveymonkey.com/r/MMPP_ATV_Trails_Survey until Nov. 10 for people to participate in.

Wow, I must say this elec-tion has shown me a lot about people on Facebook; mostly that they’re insane. Whether they were posting memes making fun

of Trudeau or Harper, my newsfeed was literally rife with political rantings and mad ravings. When discussing politics, as my Uncle told me, I’m very good at riding the fence. I’m of the belief that you vote for you who you vote for and you don’t ask someone else who they voted for. It’s one of those subjects. Although I like discussion of politics, I would never straight out ask who you’re voting for, I just want to know what you think of the parties. This year, as a grade nine girl pointed out to me, because of social media, this is defi nitely not the case anymore; although, she said her mom still told her it was impolite to ask, much like asking someone how much money they make. Regardless of who got into power, democracy works. The majority of Canadians wanted a change and that’s what Canada got. Let us look at this from that perspective. In Canada we have the right to vote. We have a right that so many people are fi ghting for in the world today. We have the freedom to discuss politics and form opinions, and yes, create memes making fun of our political leaders. Can you imagine what would happen in some of the countries around the world if you were to bash the person in power? This is part of what makes us Canadians, our rights and freedoms which we rely on constantly without really grasping the bigger picture. We don’t know how to live without these freedoms and often take them for granted. We fail to appreciate the fact that we all live our lives in peace as long as we’re not hurting or infringing on someone else’s rights. This is what it means to be Canadian to me, to live in peace and be good to each other regardless of race or religion. “Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything,” George Bernard Shaw, a Nobel Prize winning playwright, has said.

I’m not saying it would have been the worst thing in the world for Harper to stay in, but having diff erent and new ideas is important. It’s why the majority of Canada decided they wanted change, they simply wanted progress which they felt wasn’t happening anymore under the Conservatives. As I looked at Facebook statuses following the election I was greatly disappointed in my Face-book “friends” saying they wanted to move now or one who even said “Canada get f***ed.” Sorry, but whether our government is being run by Conserva-tives or Liberals or the Green Party. We are Cana-dian and there’s more to it than the political parties leading our country. At least there were gleams of hope as well, shared was a local girl’s status who recently fi n-ished high school, she was too young to vote by a few weeks, but this was her take on people’s reac-tions to the election which I thought provoked a sense of patriotism and understanding lacking by many:An open letter to Canada: Oh Canada, recently I visited a hospital where a young girl sat on a bed waiting for an IV that she would not receive because her family could not aff ord the $10 for the needle. Did I men-tion the bed was in the hallway which is the ICU? A few months ago I visited a prison where people are being detained for car accidents that were not their fault. I see kids everyday that sit on the sidewalk because they can’t aff ord to go to school. So before we talk about how Harper ruined our country, or how Trudeau is about to, let’s take a chill pill (probably paid for by the government) and remember all the things that make Canada AWESOME! Let’s all stock up on maple syrup, bacon, and get ready for hockey season. We are more than America’s hat, we are the second largest country! So let’s raise that fl ag with true patriot love and be those polite, moose loving, polar bear riding, igloo living, friendly Canadians we all are!Sincerely,A 17 year old 3 weeks short of voting eligibility

We’re all still Canadian, act like it please…

thank you

Bring on the variety pack It’s all about timing. Make the purchase too early and we may have to re-stock. Wait too long and the selection may be limited.

The boxes of little chocolate bars that make great Hallowe’en treats sit on store shelves entic-ingly…temptingly…calling me to drop a box, or two, into my shopping cart. My husband and I ensure we are prepared for about 100 trick-or-treaters each year. We get about 25 costumed kids at our door. Yes, the math certainly works in my favor. Come Nov. 1 (well, to be honest it’s more like 9 pm on Oct. 31) I dig in and start munching on the leftovers. A survey of 40,000 Americans was conducted to determine the most popular Halloween candy in each state. The survey numbers account for a 0.01% sampling size, which is kind of like the itty-bitty bite-sized chocolate bars I love. If I were a child I’d want to live in Rhode Island where Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are tops, or Arizona where Toblerone reigns supreme. A survey questioning what candy you’re most likely to purchase isn’t going to impact too many people--unless those out of step in Iowa suddenly rush to buy Rolo chocolate so they can stay on trend. Many surveys, like this one, are light-hearted and fun; designed to sell advertising space to candy companies as well as gaining access to valuable marketing information on the part of those willing to take the survey. There are two phrases that cause the little hairs on the back of my neck to stand straight up; the fi rst is “with all due respect” which is then followed by a verbal barrage that demonstrates anything but respect, and the other is “you’re entitled to your opinion” typically followed by words indicating their belief that we are not, in fact, entitled to our opinions because they diff er from the ones they hold. We won’t always agree; we are people with diff erent priorities and perspectives so it follows that we look at things diff erently. But frustration occurs when someone believes they’ve cornered the market on all correct opinions--leaving no room for a dissenting view. The conversations that happen person-to-person; business-to-business; organization-to-organization require a demonstra-tion of respect that allows spaces for speaking, but more importantly for listening. Media pundits and analysts are real pros at the fi rst part, but have little interest in the second. It might work for entertain-ment or political purposes but our neighborhoods, businesses and communities aren’t run by the pun-dits. They are run by people who invest their eff orts and abilities to bring about success. The stronger each group, the stronger the community. The more successful each business, the better off the entire community. “You’re entitled to your opinion” requires hav-ing listened to what someone has said. It doesn’t require agreement, but if we disagree it doesn’t give us license to be rude, either. Criticism and animos-ity are easy to come by and quickly fueled, but it is wasted energy which benefi ts few and fl atters none. If everyone in the community gave out exactly the same candy to trick-or-treaters the children would be missing out on the vast array of options, as would we if we don’t listen to the assortment of opinions of others. Yes, there are some that will be more palatable than others, but whether people have a hard outer shell or a soft gooey centre; whether they are too sweet for some or too nutty for others, it’s the assortment that comes together that keeps the mixture interesting. That’s my outlook.

Friday, October 30, 2015

The other day Lynne came into my office quite excited. She had something she felt very strongly about and wanted to address it in this week’s pro/con discussion: winter tires.

Obviously she wanted to argue for them being legislated into having to have, so I laughed, and said I’d take her on in the debate.

So, should it be legislated that winter tires be mandatory? Well, no. Winter tires are an extreme cost, yes they do grip better, it’s what they’re made for, but a good set of all-season tires and an alert driver behind the wheel is all it really takes.

Back when I was first learning to drive, in fact it was when I had my learner’s licence, dad would toss me the keys and tell me I was driving. Whether it was good weather, muddy grid roads (without much gravel where we lived), or snowy/icy roads, I got the keys. Dad’s a great teacher and I learned how to drive on ice and snow to the point that if I start fishtailing in my truck while driving I keep calm and get back on point. Moving between neutral and drive is second nature while stopping in icy/snowy conditions.

So, instead of forcing a costly thing like winter tires on us, which have to be changed before the first snowfall and taken off in the spring, and have to be replaced after they’ve been worn out, why not teach Canadian driving lessons instead. Find a place to drive on ice, have people actually learn in a safe environment how to handle a vehicle and correct it if something goes wrong.

The end of the year comes with bills rolling in and gifts to be bought, it’s not a time to be looking at a costly legislated item forced upon you.

I’m told winter tires are an amazing thing, which they probably are and I’ve talked about getting them, but I have good all-season tires and am confident in being able to handle my vehicle on the road.

Quebec was the first province where snow tires were made into being mandatory. They must be on your vehicle from Dec. 15, to March 15 of the following year. Some of B.C. has followed suit. But, people who are nervous drivers can become overconfident with winter tires on. They don’t make you invincible on snow and ice, and a winter driv-ing school may be more beneficial than forcing people to get winter tires.

By creating winter driving classes instead, we educate people, and after they know what they’re doing it’ll stick with them throughout their life. It would be a onetime cost to vehicle owners, which in rural areas is pretty much everyone 16-years-old and up, and not a cost you continually have to be budgeting for.

Lessons would be on avoiding sudden braking, travelling with more distance between you and the vehicle in front of you than usual, and signalling earlier to let people know your intentions so they don’t come up quickly from somewhere expecting you to be do-ing something when you planned something else.

All in all, winter tires are an awesome idea to purchase once the leaves start falling and the temperatures drop, but should the government really be able to force you into buying them?

Sometimes, I approach writing this column with caution and restraint. Al-though it’s meant to be a lighthearted-and hopefully, entertaining read-Kelly and I are often put in the position of defending or disagreeing with a point of view that is not in alignment with our true feelings on the topic(s) in question. And even though there’s a disclaimer in print that states; “The views expressed in ‘Seeing Things Differently’ are for discussion purposes and are not necessarily the views of the writers,” I still find myself hedging my bets on the side of caution, with one eye on future Google searches. (I know, I know, I flatter myself...)

However, I have come up with a topic this week that I am passionate about: snow tires.

They are, in my humble opinion, life-changing (yes, really!) and although I sometimes strongly disagree with too much government regulation, I think we should all have ‘em. And I also don’t think it’s out of line to legally require drivers to have them installed on their vehicles dur-ing the winter months in most parts of this country.

Currently, Quebec is the only province in Canada where drivers are required by law to have winter tires installed on their vehicles (between December 15 and March 15 every year).

I won’t bore you with statistics, but let’s just say that this legal requirement has not made anyone a less-safe driver on La Belle Province’s winter roads.

And now that I’ve spared you poten-tially boring stats, dear reader, I will bore you with my personal experience driving with proper winter tires. In Calgary, I slid around for years, white-knuckling it with all-season tires on slippery city streets. When I finally converted to snow tires, the difference-and stopping distance-was amazing.

Think of snow tires as winter boots for your vehicle. Would you go out for a winter stroll on icy, snowy roads with a pair of summer sandals? I thought not. Snow tires are the automotive equivalent of wearing a great pair of winter boots, complete with grips. They’ll get you where you need to go-safely and with much less stress.

A safety check is already required to li-cence a vehicle in this province and inspec-tion tickets are handed out for all kinds of things-including relatively trivial stuff such as window tint. Snow tires are comparable to seatbelts, as far as enhancing safety. Not only will they lessen your chance of an ac-cident, your winter driving experience will be, well, life-changing.

Take my word for it.

A strange feeling came over me while climbing into my vehicle in the Mosaic Stadium parking lot following Saturday night’s 35-24 Saskatchewan Roughriders loss to the Edmonton Eskimos. Just beyond the glare of the stadium lights from our old stadium sat the jaw-dropping gorgeous New Mosaic Stadium whose construction, as of last Saturday, is 60% complete. It’s due to open in August of 2016 and is pegged to be the finest jewel among open-air stadiums in North America. Just the sight of that new facility brings enormous hope for the fortunes of this Roughriders franchise and I had to sit there for a minute and imagine the possibilities. Then, reality set in, and you realize the bright days ahead are an enormous contrast to what we have now. Old Mosaic Stadium is the oldest, most-dilapidated stadium in the Canadian Football League and, I’m afraid to say, is home to the CFL’s worst team. Saturday’s loss to the Eskimos dropped the Roughriders’ record to 2-14 and they seem hell-bent to secure their worst season in franchise history.

In this one, the Riders built up a 21-3 lead before the second quarter was a minute old. However the Edmonton Eskimos, who are so good, woke up and started playing. They came back to build a 24-21 lead by halftime and cruised to what turned out to be a relatively easy victory.

It was Edmonton’s seventh win in a row and upped their record to a league-best 13-4.

But all Saturday’s game showed me was the 2015 Saskatchewan Roughriders have now lost games every way imaginable. From blown fourth quarter leads, to double-overtime losses, to games they were never really in, to, now, racing out to a big lead only to see it evaporate just as quickly.

They all get filed in the “L” column.

At his postgame news conference, Riders coach Bob Dyce was asked for his assessment of the game. Initially he growled like a bear into the microphone, in an address which was carried on province-wide radio. Then he paused for what seemed like an eternity. The gap only lasted about five seconds but it felt like five minutes as the Rider Nation hung on his every word.

“When you see a team go up 21-3 ... and we’ve seen this team play some really good teams very well at times ... it’s a challenging thing,” Dyce surmised. “We’d like consistency and some of that comes back on coaches because we need a consistent effort throughout. It’s our job to get a top level performance out of them at all times. It certainly is challenging.”

After the Riders’ 31-21 home loss to Hamilton in Week 5, then-coach Corey Chamblin advised that the “pain is now

over”. He felt, at 0-5, the worst was behind them. However as it turned out, it was just getting started. So now the home portion of the 2015 schedule is behind the Riders, and their ledger while defending their turf finished at 2-7. The paid attendance was 30,488 Saturday night however an optimistic guess at the actual bums in the seats would be 22,000. Kudos to the fans who did show up, because they all seemed to be having a great time. But when the effects of the Pilsner wore off, reality had to set in for them too. The wont - from this blogger and broadcaster’s corner - is to start looking ahead now. Let’s get the 2015 post-mortem written and start examining the challenges ahead. They begin with naming a General Manager, a head coach, and then retooling the roster. But we can’t. There are still two road games remaining against opponents who have an infinite amount of things to play for. The first is this Saturday in Calgary against a Stampeders team which is challenging for first place in the CFL West. They’re only a game back of Edmonton. And then the season finishes with a date in Montreal on Sunday, November 8 against an Alouettes team which is clamouring for a crossover playoff berth. They also currently have the CFL’s second-longest postseason streak dating back to 1996. Perhaps now the pain for the Riders is indeed gone. All that’s left is playing out the string but the days right now are agonizingly long. There’s so much to look forward to this off-season! But right now the days are going by like weeks.

By Bruce Penton Someone hijacked this column two weeks ago and reportedly wrote something ridiculous about the possibility of Columbus and Winnipeg meeting in the Stanley Cup fi nal next June. The authorities are investigating. What was meant, of course, was to proclaim the Montreal Canadiens may be the best team in the National Hockey League by the length of couple of Alex Ovechkin slapshots.The Habs roared to nine consecutive wins to start the season and then, while these words were being fi nalized, headed west to visit Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary within a space of four days. The NHL record for victories to start a season is 10, by the 2006-07 Buff alo Sabres and, believe it or not, the 1993-94 Toronto Maple Leafs. Could Carey Price, P.K. Subban, Max Pacioretty and company be 12-0 when they return to the Bell Centre for a November homestead? Certainly seems possible. Not only are the Canadiens winning, they’re winning impressively — allowing just 12 goals in their fi rst nine games, and outscoring their opponents by a 3-1 ratio. Price, last year’s Vezina (best goalie) and Hart (most valuable) trophy winner, posted a 1.29 goals-against average with an other-worldly .961 save percentage through Montreal’s early winning streak. (By comparison, his trophy-winning numbers last year were 1.96 and .933). Dale Weise, the Habs forward whose coff ee might have been spiked with something psychedelic, said Price is not only the best player in the NHL today — a statement to which many experts nod in agreement — but perhaps the best player of all time. Whoa, Dale! In the name of Wayne Gretzky, just hold your horses. Weise did say to the Montreal Gazette, however, that Montreal goes into every game with four lines capable of scoring, plus a solid defence, led by the fl amboyant Subban and veteran Andrei Markov. And if the opposition gets through that defence, there’s the brick wall covering the net. This fl ashy start has made Habs’ fans all across Canada absolutely giddy. There hasn’t been talk of 82-0 quite yet, but 80-2 and 79-3 have come up in conversation. It’s a long year, but it’s shaping up as a year that could end with a Stanley Cup parade down Ste-Catherine Street. RJ Currie of sportsdeke.co after the Rockets’ James Harden told NBA.com he’s the best player in the NBA and should have been last season’s MVP: “Is it possible for someone’s beard to be too tight?”

Fast start has Habs’ fans

excited Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “Ichiro Suzuki will play another season at 42, eyeing 65 more hits to reach 3,000. He batted .229 this year. Posted a .561 OPS, 200 points under his career average. Somewhere, Pete Rose is limbering up.” • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: ”In NBA news, Grizzlies forward Matt Barnes and Knicks coach Derek Fisher — dating Barnes’ estranged wife — got into it during a party at the ex’s house. Prosecutor are still mulling whether to charge them with a love-triangle off ence.”Comedy writer Jim Barach: “A fantasy ball player has fi led a lawsuit against FanDuel and DraftKings accusing the fantasy game sites of negligence, fraud and false advertising. Since the action involves fake teams and games, the suit was fi led in Hollywood and will be heard by Judge Judy.” Doug Ferguson of Associated Press, on Twitter: “Sherman Santiwiwatthanaphong won on the Symetra Tour. Her surname allows for no further details on Twitter.”Norman Chad of the Washington Post, on Jose Bautista’s infamous bat-fl ipping incident in the clinching game over Texas: “I would have preferred the Blue Jays’ Jose Bautista hand the bat to the batboy while running down the fi rst base line — attaching a short note of apology to the pitcher for ruining his day.”Randy Turner of the Winnipeg Free Press, on Twitter: “FYI, original premise of Back to Future 2 was for Marty McFly to travel to Oct. 21, 2015 to stop Blue Jackets from hiring John Tortorella.” Patriots D-lineman Alan Branch, as told to The New York Times, after Jets tackle Breno Giacomini asked to exchange jerseys with him after a game last season: “You held me long enough. You might as well take it.” On a sign held up by a Royals fan taunting Toronto: “Our mayor smokes ribs, not crack.”Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “The Chinese Communist Party has banned golf, excessive drinking and adultery. In a related story, the plans for the Tiger Woods Beijing Country Club have been cancelled.” Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “Tom Brady says he wants to play 10 more seasons. Seems crazy, but Brady always has been an optimist. For him, the football is half-full.”Late-night funnyman Conan O’Brien: “The University of Louisville is being accused of luring basketball recruits to the school with strippers and prostitutes. To be fair, college ball is supposed to prepare them for life in the NBA.” Care to comment? Email [email protected]

School’s Aladdin

The Vagabonds (pictured) were part of a cast that included everything from Arabian royalty to lost penguins at Carlyle Elementary School’s production of Aladdin on Friday, Oct. 23. The co-production with Missoula’s Children’s Theatre was the school’s thirteenth.

Arabian royalty to lost penguins at Carlyle Elementary School’s production of Aladdin on Friday, Oct. 23. The co-production with Missoula’s Children’s Theatre was the school’s thirteenth.Theatre was the school’s thirteenth.

Carlyle Elementary School’s 13th performance in conjunction with Missoula’s Children’s Theatre (MCT) proved to be a lucky one as theatregoers packed the gym for a production of Aladdin on Friday, Oct. 23. School principal Tyler Fehrenbach said the performance would not be possible without the generosity of sponsors and volunteers. Carlyle’s Ramada Hotel sposored accommodations for Missoula sta� , while Enbridge gave CES “A generous donation of $3,000.” Pictured (l-r) are Brandy East and Nigel Gervais of Enbridge and Krystal Fehrenbach of CES.

The sailors-along with the rest of the cast-spent the week prior to their

Aladdin performance honing their acting, singing and dancing skills, to

the delight of their audience.

Starting with auditions on Monday, rehearsals throughout the week, and ending with Friday’s � nal performance, Carlyle Elementary School’s production of Aladdin was a crowd-pleaser. A team from Missoula Children’s Theatre has been visiting the school for over a decade, and each year they aim to instill lessons of both teamwork and individual success during their visits to schools. CES principal Tyler Fehrenbach told the packed house prior to the performance, “It’s amazing how far the kids have come along in one week.” Pictured are some crowd-pleasing penguins.

After a week of hard work and a steep theatrical learning curve, students from Carlyle Elementary School dazzled the audience with their production of Aladdin. Pictured are some of the “Second-Rate Wonders of the World” who-along with their fellow students- put on a � rst-class performance.

The cast of Carlyle Elementary School’s pun-� lled production of Aladdin on Friday, Oct. 24 delighted the audience and provided the student cast and crew with valuable experience in team-building. Grade Six student and assistant director Presley Wilcox said, “It was fun, but sometimes it was pretty challenging, too.”

By Kelly Running Directive S-10, which focuses on reducing fl aring, incinerating, and venting associated gas, was fully instituted this summer by the Govern-ment of Saskatchewan. In relation to this Steel Reef – a mid-stream company from Alberta – has been planning a gas plant near Alameda to capture and process off -gas from local batteries. The company hosted an Open House on Tuesday, Oct. 27, for the general public and spoke to The Observer about the project earlier this month. “We’re a mid-stream company, meaning that we work in the oil and gas industry, but we only own plants, pipelines, and batteries, and other infrastructure, we don’t actually own any of the production itself,” Austin Voss, Vice President and Chief Oper-ating Offi cer of Steel Reef explained. “It’s not as common a thing in Canada to have mid-streamers, but it’s a pretty standard practice to have a third party take some of the infrastructure off of the producers. A good example in the area is Enbridge, they’re a downstream company, but they provide the infrastructure for oil and gas companies to transport their product.” Steel Reef is a relatively new company in the scheme of the oilfi eld having been founded in late 2012. “The president, Scott Southward, and I were from Keyera, a mid-stream company with most of its assets in Alberta,” Voss said. “We left Keyera

in 2012, and hooked up with an-other gentleman by the name of Lane McKay and from there we started Steel Reef.” The company has been working in southeastern Saskatchewan for awhile now as they built the North Portal Gas Plant and have already expanded that plant as well. Voss happily spoke about the up-coming project to be located six and a half kilometres northwest of the Town of Alameda (NE-08-04-03-W2M) and the push in Saskatchewan for gas plants following Directive S-10. “I think the big thing is there’s been a push, certainly in that area, to really start curtailing fl aring,” Voss said. “In general the government, the Ministry of Economy, has put forth new rules saying you have to conserve gas from fl aring if it meets certain economic thresholds and this is one of the fi rst areas they’re really trying to embrace those rules I think.” “The sour gas production sure makes land owner complaints more likely and it is more of a pollutant, a gas plant will reduce this. In general there’s getting to be more and more gas from some of these new reservoirs people are fi nding with new tech-nologies; so, in Alameda there was a producer that had enough gas that it made sense to put in a gas plant and a few other producers in the area also need the gas plant. From a producer’s perspective, they don’t want to put all of their capital into a relatively expen-sive piece of infrastructure like a gas

With Directive S-10 in full e� ect in Saskatchewan which calls for a reduction of � aring, incinerating, and venting associated gas. A need for infrastructure to extract and process gas is therefore needed and in relation to this a proposed gas plant is being looked at northwest of Alameda. (Archived photo)

plant, so we partner with them. We’ll own the plant and charge them a fee to use it.” Voss continued to explain that the plant has been designed to process 10 million standard cubic feet of gas per day, “That’s the amount of gas that we should be taking through the inlet of the plant that will no longer be fl ared. It’s not a huge gas plant, but it’s medium sized for Saskatchewan stan-dards.” The gas plant benefi ts the area in both econom-ical ventures as well as environmentally. “It depends on oil production, but it’s quite a few fl ares that will now go through the plant,” Voss said. “The plant takes sour gas, the H2S out of it, and the natural gas liquids, so propane and butane and the heavier parts out, compresses the gas, and that clean gas goes into the TransGas Transmission System in Saskatchewan.” “Saskatchewan is a net importer of gas, so this gives them a domestic supply of natural gas for Sas-katchewan. The liquids are marketable, so they go to sale, and the H2S, in this case is relatively small, is taken out of the gas and it is going to be fl ared off site. The H2S being fl ared is less than half a percent than the volume coming in, so instead of fl aring 10 million standard cubic feet of gas per day, we’ll be fl aring a twentieth of that, it will be a very small amount that ends up being fl ared after the plant is operational.” During the construction phase they expect be-tween 40-80 people in total to be on site through-out construction and it will take approximately six months to complete beginning with top soil strip-ping and building the lease this fall before con-struction is fully underway in January or February of 2016. Voss explains there will be construction activity which will have a short term impact to the area, but adds on that long term impacts are mini-mal. “During the actual construction, it is quite the undertaking, and will take a good six months of activity at the site, it won’t be busy the whole time, but there’ll be activity for around six months,” Voss stated. “During construction there is defi nitely a lot more traffi c to the spot, at certain points we’re hauling out big, big equipment, but that’s only for a short time, maybe a few days or a week to haul out the equipment. There’ll be about 30 people on average showing up at the site to do work. That has an impact, but it’s short term.” “The long term impacts are pretty minimal. One of them is the elimination of a lot of fl aring which is generally positive which eliminates sound, odour, and light. Depending on where they live it may or may not have more of an impact. I know at North Portal when we have to shut down certain land owners don’t like it because that’s when fl aring increases again, so we can see the impacts of mini-mal fl aring to having to turn the fl ares back on, you really see a diff erence there and that’s defi nitely a positive impact.” “The other thing is, there is a little bit of noise generated from the plant, but it’s quite well man-aged and the equipment is all very new. It’s not like the old compressors once used, we’re putting in new compressors so they have muffl ers and noise reduction on them. We go through a noise impact assessment to make sure we’re not negatively impacting the area and although Saskatchewan doesn’t have quite the same rules as Alberta, we’re very used to the regulatory regime of Alberta, and

we use the same process.” Once the plant is constructed four to six posi-tions at the plant will open up for jobs in the area as operators will be needed to manage the plant. “Long term we’ll have four to six op-erators at the plant, but the other thing is there is always mainte-nance and our budget at a plant like that is relatively large for all things,” Voss said. Overall Voss and Steel Reef are enjoying their time working in southeast Saskatchewan “We’re excited to continue to have great projects down in this area,” Voss stated. “It’s probably close to half the value of our com-pany that is in this area and we’re excited to keep working there. We think it’s a growth area and a really great place to do business, it allows us to deal with a smaller group of regulatory

landowners and producers. It’s a very relationship focused area, so we like it for a lot of reasons and the idea is that we want to continue to maintain these relationships.”

By Kelly Running In 2011, the Government of Sas-katchewan released Directive S-10, Saskatchewan Upstream Petroleum Industry Associated Gas Conservation Directive. This Directive focuses on

regulatory requirements surrounding the petroleum industry through re-ductions in fl aring, incinerating, and venting associated gas. Although it was fi rst put into ef-fect on July 1, 2011, the Directive only

recently has been fully implemented. In 2011 the Directive aff ected all new oil wells and facilities licensed on or later than July 1, 2012. Recently, as of July 1, 2015, the Directive has been implemented for all oil wells and facilities licensed prior to July 1, 2012. The Directive was created by the Government of Saskatchewan accord-ing to the introduction of the S-10 document created by the Ministry of Energy and Resources for “ensuring that the Saskatchewan upstream oil and gas industry maintain and lead its competitive position amongst Canadian energy producing provinces while ensuring that the development occurs in an environmentally respon-sible manner. It is important that the Government and the upstream oil and gas industry develop proactive plans for reducing greenhouse gas emis-sions that are practical, applicable, and economical.” “Conservation of fl ared and vented associated gas could also allow Saskatchewan to realize signifi cant economic benefi t. The economic ben-efi ts include new investments made to develop gas gathering systems and

gas processing infrastructures to col-lect and process the conserved associ-ated gas.” The document continues, “By reducing fl aring and venting of as-sociated gas the public’s health and quality of living is enhanced through improvements to air quality, protec-tion of water resources, and topsoil resources.” Therefore the introduction of Directive S-10 is two-fold: it focuses on becoming more environmentally friendly while also recovering associ-ated gas to process and sell. Testing on oil wells and facilities conducted will stipulate whether or not the site will be able to fl are or vent gas. If a combination of fl aring and venting volumes do not exceed 900 cubic metres per day, then the site is not required to conserve the associ-ated gas. However, if the site exceeds 900 cubic metres per day they are required to conserve the associated gas. Additionally if a new residence is built within 500 metres of an existing associated gas fl are then the licensee must provide information to the new

Directive S-10 fully applies as of July 1, 2015

The Government of Saskatchewan created Directive S-10 in 2011 and as of July 1, 2015, it has been fully implemented requiring the petroleum industry to capture gas reducing the amount of � aring, incinerating, and venting of associated gas previously done.

residents about their fl aring opera-tions. Companies are now required to minimize non-routine or temporary fl aring, incinerating, and venting which may occur “during upsets or outages at associated gas conserving facilities.” If non-routine measures need to be taken the company must notify Saskatchewan Energy and Resource (ER) Field Offi ce as well as residents within a 500 metre radius of

the site 48-hours in advance. Non-routine measures “shall not extend over one week (7 days) unless otherwise approved by ER. The Directive also requires all fl aring and venting of gas to be re-ported according to the requirements of the Petroleum Registry of Alberta, which Saskatchewan has adopted. A log must also be maintained of all fl aring, incinerating, and venting that occurs.

Ron Carson honoured for philanthropic e� orts

Ron Carson, founder of Carson Energy Services, has been named as the award recipient for Outstanding Philanthropist for the 2015 National Philanthropy Day Regina, which will be presented to him on Tuesday, Nov. 10.

By Kelly Running Ron Carson, founder of Carson Energy Services and past recipient of the Saskatchewan Order of Merit, is very focused when it comes to giv-ing back to the area which helped his business grow over the years. His ef-forts has led to him being named this year’s Outstanding Philanthropist in the Regina area for the 2015 National Philanthropy Day Regina Award Lun-cheon. Carson was nominated for the award by the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation in Estevan.

The letter of nomination written by Becky Conly, Executive Director of the Foundation, stated, “In June of 2014, the St. Joseph’s Hospital was granted approval from the Ministry of Health for CT Scanner Services. This made the St. Joseph’s Hospi-tal of Estevan the fi rst hospital with non-regional status in the history of Saskatchewan to off er CT Scanner Services. With this approval came the task of raising $2.2 million to pur-chase the CT scanner and to renovate the existing area of the St. Joseph’s Hospital where the equipment would

be used.” The Foundation approached Carson in hopes that he would support their eff orts. Being very supportive of the project, Carson decided to donate $500,000 to the CT Scanner Fundraising Cam-paign. “He told us that he truly believed in this cause, knowing that a CT Scanner would save so many lives in Southeast Saskatchewan,” Conly writes. “Ron explained to us that his customers, staff and family all use the St. Joseph’s Hospital, and this was his way of saying ‘Thank You,’ and giving back to the residents of Southeast Saskatchewan after they have been so kind to him.” “His philanthropic spirit made the dream of the St. Joseph’s hospital into a reality,” she added. “We are now very close to our goal, and CT Scanner Services are set to commence in November 2015.” Carson will be honoured on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at the 2015 National Philanthropy Day Regina Awards Luncheon. In addition to the philanthropic eff orts which led to him being recognized this year, Carson recently accepted a fundraising challenge from STARS. In August he participated in a “Jail and Bail” type fundraiser called Rescue on the Prai-rie where Carson was dropped off in a remote loca-tion to participate in various challenges alongside fi ve others focused on fundraising for the non-profi t group. “STARS has an operating cost of $21 million and that’s per year,” Carson explained to The Ob-server earlier this year. “So they have to raise half of that each year because they’re a non-profi t organi-zation, and our government supports the other half. We need STARS in Saskatchewan, they do about seven or eight heli-trips per day between Saskatoon and Regina, so it’s well used and it’s available to anyone in need of the service, it’s for everybody.” The challenge asked six infl uential Saskatch-ewan residents to raise $50,000 each. When The Observer spoke with Carson earlier this year, he stated, “Our personal challenge within the company is to raise $150,000 and I see no reason why we won’t make it a go.” In the end Carson surpassed his personal goal for the company by raising a total of $224,997.50 for STARS. “It’s a pleasure to be here and be able to

raise these funds for STARS,” Carson told the orga-nizers of the event. “We’ve done well, thanks to all the people out there who have been contributing.” Carson founded his company Carson Energy Services in 1974 in Lampman. Beginning with a total of eight people it has since grown to 1,500 employees operating from Alberta across Saskatch-

ewan and into Manitoba. In 2011 the business was acquired by Flint URS and has continued to diver-sify. Carson’s success is rooted in rural Saskatch-ewan and it remains a place where his eff orts to better his community and the lives of people in rural areas continues.

Released on October 8, 2015 The October sale of petroleum and natural gas rights raised $9.8 million in revenue for the prov-ince at an average price of $220 per hectare. After fi ve sales in 2015, land sale revenues total $45.5 million. “The long-term viability of Saskatchewan’s oil patch relies on new discoveries,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. ”The province is cautiously optimis-tic that exploration activities on the lands acquired will prove successful.” The October sale saw the Weyburn-Estevan area receive the most bids with sales of $6.7 mil-lion. The Lloydminster area was next at $1.8 million, followed by the Kindersley-Kerrobert area at $1.0 million and the Swift Current area at $357,844. The highest price paid for a single parcel was $832,355. Triland Energy Inc. acquired the 259-hectare lease west of Willmar. The highest price on a per-hectare basis was $10,045. Scott Land & Lease Ltd. bid $650,449 for a 64.75-hectare lease east of Stoughton. “It is encouraging that under-explored areas of the province continue to attract the attention of industry,” Boyd said. “Saskatchewan’s investment climate is proving very attractive even at a time of volatile prices.” The four exploration licences and one lease that sold for $2.0 million southwest of Weyburn are

located in an area that is prospective for Mississip-pian carbonates, the transitional Mississippian-De-vonian Bakken Formation and underlying Torquay Formation, the deeper Devonian Birdbear and Winnipegosis Formations, and the Ordovician Red

River Formation. The Bakken is also being devel-oped immediately to the south in the United States. The next sale of Crown petroleum and natural gas rights will be held on December 1, 2015.

Released on October 21, 2015 The Government of Saskatchewan today ap-proved the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel’s recommendations for SaskEnergy’s adjustments to both its Commodity and Delivery Service rates. However, the changes will now be imple-mented January 1, 2016, when residential custom-ers will experience an overall decrease of $4.42 per month or $53 annually. The government delayed the rate changes from November 1, 2015, as the outstanding balance in SaskEnergy’s Gas Cost Variance Account (GCVA) will not be fully recovered until January 2016. The GCVA tracks the diff erence between what SaskEnergy pays to purchase customers’ gas from producers on the open market and rates charged to customers. The account had accumulated a $34 million defi cit coming out of the severe winter of

2013/2014. SaskEnergy anticipated the GCVA to be down to at least $5 million by November 1 when the application was fi led this past spring, but more than double this amount still remains at $11 million as of November 1, 2015. “SaskEnergy requires a two month extension to continue repaying this account as less natural gas has been used by customers due to warmer than average weather in the spring and fall of 2015,” Minister responsible for SaskEnergy Jim Reiter said. “With the GCVA fully recovered, the corpora-tion will be able to provide the rate protection and stability customers depend upon during what is of-ten the coldest winter months and the most volatile pricing on the commodity markets. “When SaskEnergy changed its rates in July 2014, it projected up to 24 months would be required to recover the GCVA. A January 1 imple-

mentation is still six months ahead of overall pro-jections.” The changes include a decrease to its Com-modity Rate from $4.84/GJ to $4.30/GJ and an increase of 4.5 per cent to its Delivery Service Rate. For residential customers, an increase in the basic monthly charge of $1.75 will be off set by a lower commodity cost. “SaskEnergy is able to pass savings along to customers while, at the same time, continuing to invest in important public safety and pipeline integrity initiatives,” Reiter said. “SaskEnergy will still off er the lowest residential delivery rates of any natural gas utility in Canada and will maintain its competitiveness by managing cost pressures through future productivity improvements and internal effi ciency measures.”

By Kelly Running Crescent Point Energy has been a very support-ive company in Carlyle and the surrounding area over the years. Recently they built a new building in Carlyle and are focused on growth and celebrated a grand opening earlier this year. Crescent Point was fi rst established in Cal-gary in 2001 by current President and CEO, Scott Saxberg. Beginning by raising money the company would fi rst acquire assets in Alberta, but the year after it was founded Crescent Point obtained an acquisition in Manor, SK, and has been a factor in the area ever since. In 2003 Crescent Point continued to grow its interests in southeast Saskatchewan with acquisi-tions south of Weyburn and elsewhere in the area. In 2006 they obtained what Ryan Gritzfeldt, VP of Engineering and Business Development East, said was “a signifi cant acquisition in the Bakken.” With an emphasis on growth it was in 2009 when Crescent Point took over Talisman’s south-east Saskatchewan assets. With this acquisition came Talisman’s Carlyle offi ce, which turned out to be the perfect location for Crescent Point. “We decided to keep that offi ce going,” Gritzfeldt explained. “Carlyle is a great location for us and a great community. I was actually a stu-dent who worked for Talisman in 1995 and then I worked as a fi eld engineer, so I worked in the old offi ce and got to know the community.” With growth in mind, the small Talisman offi ce was soon outgrown and a larger offi ce building was needed. “We opened a new offi ce in Weyburn fi ve-years ago, and it was designed for future growth,” Gritzfeldt said. “Thinking back to Weyburn in 2010 that offi ce was only half fi lled and now fi ve-years later it’s packed as well.” “Our Carlyle offi ce should hold 70 staff , and we’re only close to half right now, maybe 40, so when we began planning this offi ce we kept Wey-burn in mind and designed Carlyle’s for future growth as well.” Gritzfeldt explained that the company has grown quickly beginning just over 13 years ago with zero barrels of oil produced to now producing 150,000 barrels per day. “Carlyle is our central location,” he continued. “We’ve had successful growth in the area and have assets west in the Bakken, east into Manitoba, as well as north and south. It’s a good location for us and we’re excited to give our staff a bright and spa-cious place to work there.” Ground for the new building was broken in April 2014, although planning began in 2012. The new building which stands at the intersec-tion of Hwy 9 north and Hwy 13 is approximately 20,000 square feet within its two-storey layout. Within the building are meeting areas, a large board room as well as a smaller board room, nu-merous offi ces, a cubicle area for consultants and summer students, and a kitchen. “It’s part of the culture we have here, we want people to come together and not just be hunkered down in their offi ces,” explained Barb Morrison, Team Lead Corporate Facilities.

One of the rooms Crescent Point is particularly proud of is the Rail Room. The rail room is monitored 24-hours a day and is something unique. “We haven’t had a room quite like

it before,” Morrison said. The Rail Room allows Crescent Point employees to monitor and control each rail car being loaded in the area at the Transfer Station in Stoughton and in Shaunavon, with

the intention of setting up monitor-ing of the rail sites in Utah from the Carlyle offi ce as well. The Crescent Point building is therefore based on growth and the company remains dedicated to the area. With employees moving in on Monday, June 15, to begin working out of the building Crescent Point hosted a free BBQ for the community on Tuesday, June 23, for their Grand Opening. Many people from Carlyle and the surrounding area attended to learn more about the new structure in town.

Crescent Point continues to enjoy a mutually benefi cial relationship in southeastern Saskatchewan with an offi ce in Carlyle and are committed to the area. “We look forward to continuing our investments in community initia-tives such as BoogieFest, the Crescent Point Leisure Complex, Classroom Champions, and more,” Anna Palm-iere, Community Relations Advisor, explained. “We have several years left of drilling inventory in the area and we look forward to continued successful growth,” Gritzfeldt added.

Tim Lequyer, Southeast Saskatchewan Superintendant, cut the ribbon with Crescent Point employees surrounding him. Jodi Third holds one end of the ribbon with Ryan Gritzfeldt – VP of Engineering and Business Development East – as Lequyer cuts the ribbon in the centre and Barb Morrison - Team Lead Corporate Facilities – holds the other end.

The sharp drop in world oil prices over the past year is slowing the growth of Canadian oil produc-tion over the next two decades, the Canadian As-sociation of Petroleum Producers announced today in its 2015 Crude Oil Forecast, Markets and Trans-portation report. CAPP estimates production of Canadian oil will increase 43 per cent over 16 years, growing to 5.3 million barrels per day by 2030, up from 3.7 million barrels per day in 2014. Increased transportation capacity, in all forms, is therefore needed to meet growing domestic and international demand for Canadian oil. CAPP’s June 2014 forecast estimated total oil production in 2030 at 6.4 million barrels per day.

While the two forecasts are similar during the early years of the forecast period, the slower pace of pro-duction in the latter years is the result of reduced capital spending intentions due to the sharp decline in global oil prices. “Demand for Canadian oil in Eastern Canada, the United States and globally remains strong,” said Greg Stringham, CAPP’s vice-president, oil sands and markets. The International Energy Agency reports global demand for energy, including oil, is expected to grow 37 per cent over the next 25 years. Canada has 173 billion barrels of oil, the third-largest proven reserve in the world. However, today Canada only produces 3.7 million barrels of the 93 million bar-

rels consumed every day around the world. “We have the energy the world needs – our challenge is getting it there,” Stringham said. “Con-necting Canada’s growing supplies to these markets safely and competitively is a top priority. Over the next two decades, we believe all forms of transpor-tation will still be needed to move Canadian oil to markets to the east, west and south.” The oil sands remain the primary driver of oil growth in Canada, with production reaching four million barrels per day by 2030. Conventional oil production in Western Canada, including conden-sates, is projected at 1.3 million barrels per day by

2030. Eastern Canadian off shore pro-duction is forecast at 91,000 barrels per day by 2030. In light of current low prices, oil producers in Canada continue to evaluate their growth plans. This

market uncertainty is refl ected most in the oil sands growth range in this year’s forecast. The range indicates future projects are under review. Total oil and natural gas industry capital investment is forecast at $45

billion in 2015, down nearly 40 per cent from $73 billion in 2014. In the oil sands, 2015 capital investment is forecast to be lower by almost a third to $23 billion compared to $33 billion in 2014. Market access in all directions remains priorityRefi neries in Quebec and Atlantic Canada currently import nearly 80 per cent of their oil from foreign sources. The U.S. Gulf Coast, the larg-est refi ning cluster in the world with signifi cant capacity to process heavy crude oil, is a major potential growth market for Canadian heavy oil. There is also a strong and growing demand for Canadian oil in Washington, California, Asia and Europe. To reach these markets, more transportation capacity and tidewater access are required.

“Several pipeline projects are at various stages in the regulatory pro-cess,” Stringham said. “These projects target three diff erent markets and would provide Canadian producers with the market access necessary to become a truly global supplier.” While pipelines remain the pri-mary transportation mode for large crude oil volumes over long periods of time, delays in the startup dates for all pipeline proposals mean railways will continue to be used as a comple-ment to pipeline transportation. CAPP’s annual forecast is de-veloped from oil producer survey data, collected in March and April 2015, and CAPP analysis of histori-cal trends, expected drilling activity, recent announcements and ongoing discussions with industry stakehold-ers and government agencies.

- The province is the sixth-largest oil-producing jurisdicti on in North America behind only Texas, Alberta, North Dakota, California, and Alaska.

- In November 2014, an esti mated 30,756 oil wells produced an aver-age of 524,741 barrels per day (83,400 cubic metres per day).

Touring the southeast during education week, Sheryl Kennett-Garrett and Ione Krainyk were welcomed into numerous schools to read their books to students in Kindergarten to grade two. Locally they stopped by Manor School and Carlyle Elementary School where the children sat engrossed in the two tales. Krainyk read a true story which was written by her sisters, Zelda Luchenski and Nona McMillan, and illustrated by Krainyk, about Penelope: The House of Pretend. “My grandpa built that playhouse for us. My grandparents had 18 grandchildren all within seven miles of Fillmore,” explained Krainyk to The Observer previously. “We played in it, we had birthday parties in it. Later on, it became a bunkhouse at White Bear Lake and my grandma had it set up with two double beds and two little camp beds, so six of us could sleep there. When my grandma passed away, the playhouse went back to Fillmore and became my mom’s garden shed. When my mom was passing away, she made me promise to take it and use it as a playhouse for her great-grandchildren to play in and now, it’s in my yard and my grandchildren play in it.”

Authors visit Kindy to grade two students for Education Week

A story about her family and how her grandfather, with help from his grandkids and a neighbour, built a playhouse for his grandchildren. The children enjoyed the story and asked questions about the story. Children also enjoyed a second story by Kennett-Garrett who wrote Grandma’s Quilts, which is the story about a little girl and her grandmother. Although she drew inspiration from her life in writing the story, it was a work of fi ction. “Two years ago I wrote the book, I was substituting in a Kindergarten class and I remembered I had saved a story from when I was a teacher,” Kennett-Garrett said. “I used to write while my students wrote and I remembered I had this story, so I went back and found it, and revised it some.” The students were quite excited to listen to the two stories and were wowed by the storytellers. Both came dressed in costume, their apron pockets containing a handkerchief, Krainyk’s bunched up in the way her grandmother used to stuff it in her pocket, and Kennett-Garrett’s carefully folded up in the way her grandmother used to keep her handkerchief. A fun way to enjoy education week the youth enjoyed the opportunity to meet the two women and listen to their stories.

Ione Krainyk reads to the grade two class at Carlyle Elementary School.

Ione Krainyk and Sheryl Kennett-Garrett joined Kindergarten to grade two classes across the southeast for Education Week where they read books to the classes that they were involved in creating: Krainyk the illustrator of “Penelope: The House of Pretend” and Kennett-Garrett the author of “Grandma’s Quilts.” Here they join Manor School’s Kindergarten to grade two class.

Author Sheryl Kennett-Garrett read her book, “Grandma’s Quilts,” at Carlyle Elementary School as part of Education Week.

Gail McLachlin went to Calgary for Thanksgiving, spending the weekend with her daughter Grace, Luke Mckenna and her granddaughter Thea. Gail enjoyed the excellent Thanksgiving supper prepared by her son Mitchell Cowie and Andrea Gohm.

Lorne Junk has returned from a holiday trip to Alberta where he visited with his son Todd and family, and with daughter Crystal, Jay Steeves and family. In route home he stopped in Moose Jaw to visit with his sister Ardyth and Mike Philipation, who have just recently moved there.

Jason, April Junk and family attended the rodeo at the winter fair in Brandon on Saturday, October 24.

There was nice small crowd that attended the Harvest “Whined” Up Supper on Saturday, October 24 at Alida Hall. Everyone there seemed to enjoy the delicious food as always and the Rec. Board had a successful evening.

Murray and Adam Cowan (Estevan) visited over the weekend (October 24-25) at the Cowan farm with Gray and Edel and also with Tim.

Leonard and Lillian Patton visited on Sunday, October 25 with her brother Joe and Donna Molner in Kennedy. They all attended the fall supper in Kipling.

I received word that Jeannette (Lynch) Blackburn had passed away in Texas – sincere

sympathy is extended to all family members.

Another foggy morning – does it really mean that we’ll have another rainy day this coming spring? Gee if so we may just have a wet spring, which I hope not, at least not TOO wet. Our fall weather has been fairly nice so far and the men are pleased with that, as they are getting a lot of fall work done in the fi eld – burning and working down those abundant amounts of cattails and foxtail areas that are out there.

We are now on the last week in October so guess one can expect the weather to change some, but hope that it will be nice for the trick ‘n’ treaters that will be out and about soon. If you’re looking for something to do on Friday, October 30 come spend some time at the Alida Hall at the Halloween dance and make sure to wear your costume. Keep a close watch out for the little goblins that will likely be out on Saturday – they will be all excited about being dressed up in their special costume and going about trick ‘n’ treating. Happy Halloween everyone!

Keep the news coming in – remember to call (306-443-2496) or text (306-485-8561) or e-mail ([email protected]) with your news, I do appreciate your input. Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and Take care.

Kay Dorrance was accompanied by her daughters, Rhonda of Regina and Norma (and her daughter, Julia) of Saskatoon when she travelled to Paradise Valley to visit daughter Sandra. Jeff Corkish ans son Owen of Cottage Grove, Minn. Spent a week recently visiting with his mother, Shirley Corkish. Jeff spent some time hunting with friends. Congratulations to George and Eleanor Hodgins of Niverville, MN. on their 65 wedding anniversary on October 20th. They were Fairmede residents before moving to Kennedy for several years and have recently moved to Niverville. Sympathy to the family and friends of the late Inger (Sorenson) Wilson who passed away on Oct. 19 in her 94th year. She was Lester Wilson’s widow. They had lived in the Swanson School District for more than 30 years before retiring to Wawota in 1974. After Lester’s passing in 1975 Inger continued to live in Wawota and then moved to the Villa in Maryfi eld before being admitted to the Integrated Care Home in Moosomin. As per her wishes the funeral service and committal will be private. Sympathy to Bev Shire and family on the passing of Don Shire. He passed away on Oct 16 at the age of 83 years. He spent all of his life in the Kelso and Wawota area. His funeral service was held at the Wawota Town hall on Oct. 20 with

interment in the Wawota Cemetery. Two families I missed when I mentioned that several families had moved away. The Morissette family, Michael, Christine, Michael Jr., Matthew and Lisa who were living with Grandma Geraldine Kidson have moved to Regina. Lori Kemmer has also moved to Regina where she has secured employment. Cher’s former co-worker Mary Morgan and her friend Randy Bonn from Kenosha, Wisconsin visited with Tom and Cher Badger for a few days this month. They enjoyed seeing this part of the country and especially enjoyed shopping in Wawota. Mary told Cher that she was so surprised to see such a nice furniture store in a small town and remarked on how fun the girls were. She also wanted Marie Jensen to know how much they are enjoying their new mats! On Oct. 24 many friends along the mail route from Regina to Maryfi eld gathered with family and friends at the Vibank Community Hall to pay their respects to the late Dana Kelln. Dana passed away Oct. 17 at the age of 66 years. He began delivering the mail for Canada Post in 1989 and he was a conscientious and hard working individual. He often had a story to tell and we enjoyed his sense of humour. Sympathy to his family, Nadine, Allison and Darren and their families. He will be missed!!

This past week has certainly given us nice weather. It’s the contrasts that give life its texture, sunlight and shadows are parts of the same plan. Friday will always be a remembrance for Shirley Langenberger with the lovely day for the funeral of Barry and all the people who came out to support the family, neighbors and relatives are always very helpful in times of sorrow. Bonnie Kell reported that there was a very good attendance for the tea held in Vibank on Sat. for the late Dana Kelln, many post masters of yesterday and today were in attendance, which showed the family their appreciation of Danaí’s dedication to his work. Clarence Bender accompanied his son Curtis and grandson Caleb to Saskatoon for the Sask. Provincial Cycling race, held on the Nov. 17th weekend. Caleb placed third in this race and attended the National team contest in Winnipeg this past weekend. At the time of sending

this little clip to me Clarence did not know exactly where he placed, however, congratulations and good luck as you continue your racing Caleb. Congratulations to Norbert Beaujot for being elected for EY Entrepreneur for Saskatchewan for agriculture and environment, the weekend of October 23rd this event took place in Calgary, Alberta. Hope fully this will be a larger column next week. In the meantime please contact me with news items. I do have lots of comments about enjoying home town news (out of town folks) plus it keeps the local papers busy. You travel a lonely road when you are concerned only for yourself. Enjoy November, treasure the sunny days, they’ll get you through the dark times.Recent visitors at the home of Joe and Esther Barsi were Julia and Nola Neumann of Edmonton, Gerry and Dorothy Barsi of Regina, Steve and JoAnne Oszust of Regina, Tara, Katalyn and Mason Barsi of Moose Jaw.

OBITUARIES

ANNIVERSARY

Jan Susan ProsofskyJan Susan Prosofsky It is with profound sadness and disbelief that the family of Jan Su-san Prosofsky announce her passing in the Regina General Hospital, suc-cumbing to cancer on October 18, 2015 with her loving children by her side. Her loss was sudden as Jan never revealed her sickness to anyone. She did not want to burden her family. We were all unaware of her suf-fering and truly shocked by her unexpected passing. Jan was born in Regina on June 29, 1956, the 6th child of Joseph and Jean Prosofsky. The family moved to Medicine Hat in 1962 where Jan began her education at St. Mary’s Catholic School. She later attend-ed McCoy High School where she excelled in track and � eld. Jan loved to run and play as if nothing could stop her. After her extended travels around the world, Jan eventually moved back to Alberta where she held an assortment of jobs, including being

the � rst female lease hand in the oil� eld. She then moved on to British Columbia where her three chil-dren were born. After a few years, Jan returned once again to Alberta. She was later employed with Core Association as an aide for individuals with special needs. At the time of her death, Jan was residing in Carlyle Saskatchewan. She was employed with the Moose Mountain Lodge where she loved to cook and take care of the residents. Jan is survived by her children, Chance, her oldest son; Lacy, her beautiful daughter, and Kaleb, her baby boy who she lovingly called “Goonie”, along with Kaleb’s partner, Oolee and Jan’s two step-sons, Dane Fiegal and Chase Fiegal; her brothers, James (Patricia) Prosofsky, Joel (Doris) Prosofsky and Je� rey Prosofsky; her sisters, Joan Groft, Joy (Garry) Chinook, Julie Prosofsky (Tom Samoila), and June (Chip) Kniss and their adopted, special sister, Marina Prosofsky; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and special friends. She was predeceased by her father, Joseph Prosofsky in July of 1974 and her mother, Jean Holisko Prosofsky in January of 1978; also special loved ones, her adoring brother-in-law, Gordon Groft in October of 2003; Max Samoila in November of 2014 and David Fiegal in April of 2015. Jan will be remembered always by her family and friends. The funeral service for Jan was held in the PATTISON CHAPEL on Friday, October 23, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. with Life Celebrant, David Townsend. In lieu of � owers, donations may be made in Jan’s memory to the S.P.C.A. - 55 Southwest Drive SW, Medicine Hat, AB T1A 8E8. To e-mail an expression of sympa-thy, please direct it to: [email protected] subject heading: Jan Prosofsky, or you may visit www.pattisonfuneralhome.com and leave a message of condolence. Arrangements are by the PATTISON FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM 540 South Railway St. SE, Medicine Hat T1A 2V6. Please call 1-866-526-2214 for further information.

Our Mother was a “country girl”, went to a country school, and enjoyed life on the farm. When her brothers went o� to war, she stayed home and helped her Mom and Dad with the farm work, as well as housework. She spent winters at her Grandma Kirkby’s in Benson so she could go to school. In the � fties, Alice and Verna would spend the weekdays at Aunt Sarah Hathaway’s in Stoughton so they could go to High School. Mom would come in for the weekends to help Aunt Sarah so Alice and Verna could go home. Even though she only managed to get her Grade 8, she was far more educated than you’d expect. Even though it was hard for her, she kept at her reading of books and magazines. She would always help us as best as she could with all of our homework. I want to tell you a little about Mom’s Love, hard work and sacri� ce. Her strength of character was incredible as well as her physical strength and she often pushed it to the limit. She was never concerned about the styles changing because she made her own amazon style. She had a quiet but elegant, and graceful style. She never complained about anything lacking, but tried to � x or make something that would work for whatever she was doing. She always had a back up teakettle in case hers broke down. If she was desp0erate she could always boil water in a pot on the stove to make her tea. She enjoyed the simple pleasures of sitting down with friends or family and having a cup of tea or instant co� ee. She never opened her mouth if she couldn’t think of something good to say. Even if she didn’t hear you she always smiled or nodded, and pretended she did. She married Henry Breault on October 19, 1957. Shortly after their family began arriving until she � nally had nine children in eleven years. She was always very busy looking after us, helping Dad when he needed help, doing the laundry, sometimes by hand, as well as hauling water and hanging clothes on the clothesline. She always cooked three square meals a day for us. On top of that she always milked 6-8 cows, and separated the cream and sold it. With her little cream cheques she tried to buy us treats and anything else we needed. When we were younger we never once went out to eat, but our treats were whatever great foods our mother made, including homemade ice cream. She was the best cook we could ever ask for. She always made wonderful desserts for every meal. Our children especially remember her homemade donuts and � our (icing sugar) to dip them in and cinnamon cookies. We also liked her shortbread cookies and her awesome � apper pie and tapioca pudding. She loved to bake and that was one skill she taught us how to do even before we were big enough to reach the cupboard. We stirred our cookies on the chair. To this day, most of us still love to bake. Sometimes as we grew up I remember her having such headaches that she couldn’t even eat, but she always provided for the rest of us and if she could � t in a 20 minute nap after lunch, she would. She always made sure that we never went without the necessities even if it meant that she had to stay well past midnight to � nish sewing, or mending, or darning socks.Back when they were still on the farm and aging, sometimes they needed help and none of their children were available. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Wayne Colby and Tom Breault for the many, many times that they left what they were doing and come over to help Mom and Dad, and later Mom, with things such as cattle, clearing the snow out of the yard and lane and etcetera. Our mother was the best person we could ever ask for as a Mom. She gave us all the love and learning anyone could ever ask for. She was always hard working, kind, patient beyond belief, independent, caring and nice. As one of her friend said, “The Angels will love her and the Lord will bless her. She was a marvelous lady, such a model of strength and positive energy.”She always smiled no matter what. If she didn’t feel well, she certainly didn’t tell anyone else. She just took another half Advil or a Tylenol and moved on. After she moved to town, she always tried to go for co� ee, unless she was opt feeling well. She always was very independent and enjoyed her freedom to do what she wanted when she wanted. She would start making pies one day and when she got too tired, she would just leave it and � nish it the next day. If she went for co� ee, she might end up staying for supper, especially if someone came in and needed company. She found something to keep her busy all the time. She would look after mowing the lawn, her � owerbeds, and plant her garden, and weed it most of the time all by herself. She always had her little garden in the � owerbed by the door of the house. Then her bigger back garden. She always had a lot of � owers. Everyday she would go out to the garden for at least a half hour or more and pull weeds, and sometimes just to sit on her pail and enjoy the outdoors. She was very conserving and saved everything to use for another purpose. She never threw out anything unless it truly had no use for her, or she had used it several times.She had a great love of life and always tried to make things better for other people. No matter where she went she always took something whether it be a pie, a cake, some cookies, or just a plate of fruit to help others. Most evenings if she wasn’t bust she would � nd someone to visit, especially Uncle John at the home, and other friends of hers that were in there like Vern Vogel and Laurette Wilkes, or she would go out to Carl’s for supper and then spend some time playing with Porter. He loved it when she played Lego with him. She cooked and cleaned her own house, and sewed and made quilts in earlier years. Later she made mats, knitted sweaters, made blankets for the grandbabies, and presents for people for special occasions. No matter when you saw her she always o� ered you something to eat, or took you to the restaurant for dinner or supper in the later years. She loved to talk on the phone with all of her children and her sister especially. If the other phone calls were anything like mine it was usually an hour to an hour half of news. She always wanted to � ll you in on all the events that happened in the community and who she saw when she went out for co� ee or supper, as well as the news from the other people she talked to that week. We will forever miss hearing all about our aunts, uncles, cousins and the community from her. She was the best Mom anyone could ever ask for. We all are so proud to have had Mary as a mother. You will be greatly missed by all of us. Angels will love her… and the Lord will bless her, and all who miss her.

A man went to the doctor for symptoms he was having. After many tests the doctor called the man into his offi ce. “What’s the word Doctor? Is it serious?”“I’m sorry,” the doctor said. “Your illness is terminal.” “Tell me, doctor, how long have I got?”“Ten” said the doctor.“Ten what? Ten years? Ten months? Ten weeks? Ten days?”The doctor replied, “nine, eight, seven...” Our time on earth has been described by various comparisons. Father Brendan McGuire used the comparison of a 100 foot rope. “This rope here is our life. The rope represents eternal life…This tiny little section (the fi rst 3 inches) here is called life on earth. That’s it. Just that section!” Examples like the above are almost enough to startle us into focus. How am I living my life? What should I be doing? Am I preparing for eternity? David Isay who started Story Corps in 2003 gives us a focus by asking what four things would you would

want to say to someone before you die? The answer: Thank you. I love you. Forgive me. I forgive you. How diff erent our lives can be if we remember to say these simple words. Story Corps is based on the idea that everyone has a story to tell. Isay shared his father’s story – his father was gay, but after hearing his dad’s story he had a great love and respect for him. Another Story Corps example involves a mother whose son was killed in gang violence. After meeting her son’s killer, they became mutually supportive and found their lives enriched. The prescription for a good life is simple. Stay in touch with God. Often this is achieved by simply using the Sunday God gave us. “Do not let Sunday be taken from you.If your soul has no Sunday, it becomes an orphan.” Albert Schweitzer Living a good life is simple. Giving witness is simple. Father Franklin Emereuwa shares a story about seminary life where

Walking in love while there is timehis spiritual instructor would say, “Let’s go preaching.” They would dress in their clerical robes and simply walk about the streets of the town without saying a word. Giving witness is as simple as showing up. St Francis of Assisi said, “Preach the gospel at all times. Use words if necessary.” The Word Among Us (September 2015) shares this simple prescription. Go beyond your friends and church circle. Go outside your comfort zone. “You don’t need to evangelize; just get to know them, and let them get to know you. Let them see the glory of God dwelling in you so that they, too, will desire to live in such a safe, beautiful kingdom of God.” Much of the crisis of Faith we experience today is because we have forgotten what our forefathers did not forget. A simple prayer like the Angelus which was recited daily, often at the ringing of the village bell made everyone stop and remember our story as Christians. Christmas – “The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary”.Incarnation – “And the Word was made fl esh”.Salvation – “That we…may by His passion and cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection”. Let us remember to walk in God’s love while there is time.

By Linda Wegner Have you ever felt as if you were wandering somewhere in the back side of the desert? Or, for us coastal dwellers, on some obscure island where the only boat available had been in confl ict with a reef. I have and, I suspect, so have you.This week I read the story of a fellow I’ll call Mo. This character had so much going for him: a mom who adored him, a childhood immersed in wealth, an education without the cloud of debt and opportunities most of us could only dream about. Mo had it made. In spite of this, he had a kind heart for those less fortunate and, in particular, for a group of people he saw as oppressed and mistreated. In a vain attempt to help them, he ended up murdering a man. Mo fl ed for his life. To say that he experienced a fall from his former life is too weak; his world collapsed. No longer the centre of attention in the palace where he grew up, he took up the job of sheep herding. Considered the lowliest of professions, he literally wandered in the desert, tasked with making sure the bleating creatures had food and water enough to survive and, hopefully, thrive. In the

place where I picked up the story, he’d done that for forty years, enough to eradicate any lingering aspirations of greatness. I’m just amazed that he simply hadn’t thrown in the proverbial towel. By now you may have guessed that Mo is actually Moses and

you’re right. Moreover, if ever there is an example of someone who’s a recipient of God’s grace, it’s him. The best news is that, in spite of our past, grace is extended to each of us. More about Mo and grace next week.“…justifi ed by faith, we have peace with God….”

By Calvin Daniels It was at least somewhat of a surprise when the smoke had cleared and the Liberals had managed to win a majority. It had been clear for most of the campaign that there was a mood to see Stephen Harper’s reign as Prime Minister come to an end. But, in what remains basically a three-party system there was some expectation of enough splitting of the anti-Harper vote that the Conservatives might hold on to some relevance for the next four years. However, New Democrat support eroded, and Justin Trudeau’s message of a more hopeful, less fearful Canada caught hold and

as they say the rest is history. In many ways this election took Canada back to its norms. In the 2011 election the Liberals were at a near all-time low with the lame-duck leader Michael Ignatieff at the helm. The NDP were riding an historic high with Jack Layton as the leader, the support he garnered slipping back to more long-term numbers under Tom Mulcair. Meanwhile the Conservative core stayed true, but Harper could not build on that. Of course on the Prairies, at least in Saskatchewan and Manitoba Conservatives carried the day.

With the region predominantly populating the Opposition benches it will be interesting what that will mean in terms of agriculture policy from the Liberals. We are aware farm issues are not a priority in terms of the lack of rural infl uence at the polls these days. And now with most seats on the Opposition side we may not see Prairie agriculture being a huge Liberal priority, which is why most people aren’t expecting anything dramatic from Trudeau and whoever he appoints his Minister of Agriculture. With Harper and the Conservatives out we will also begin the process of assessing their overall record in all areas, including agriculture.

In terms of ag the debate on the Conservative impact will start with the elimination of the Canadian Wheat Board, a process which started with questionable tactics, Parliamentary questions, and ended with the ‘scorch-earth- approach to the sell off of farmer and taxpayer-owned assets to ensure no government could turn back the clock. Whether history is favourable of the change, or not, the way the Conservatives went about changing the CWB should forever be questioned. The gutting of the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA), system, the head-in-the-sand approach to climate change, and weakening protection for most rivers will also be eff orts history are not likely to look back on with favour. So maybe we should hope the Liberals do tweak a few things given the Conservative record in agriculture.

October 31st will be a busy time in many neighbourhoods and communities as excited youngsters will be out knocking on doors collecting Halloween treats and visiting with family and friends. CAA Saskatchewan would like to remind all trick-or-treaters to stay alert and be safe this Halloween. Motorists are encouraged to slow down when driving on Halloween night and watch for excited costumed trick-or-treaters who will be crossing streets and roads. Here are few more safety reminders for motorists: • Slow down to at least 10 km below the speed limit in residential areas and school zones. • Adult partygoers, please avoid taking short-cuts through residential areas typically populated by trick-or-treaters. Also, please don’t drink and drive; arrange to have a safe ride home. Costumes are always exciting and fun to wear, but it’s recommended that parents help choose costumes that are bright at night and don’t obstruct children’s vision and hearing. Consider adding refl ective markings on the costumes and also check the length of costumes to avoid tripping.

To help children learn about Halloween safety, Ashlyn George, the 2015 Saskatchewanderer, has produced a short CAA Saskatchewan Halloween Safety Video. Here are some additional Halloween safety tips for parents, caregivers, and teachers that can be shared with youngsters: • Look both ways before crossing the street and listen for traffi c before crossing. • Cross the street only at corners; never between parked cars or in the middle of the block. • If there aren’t any sidewalks, always walk facing traffi c and as far off the road as possible. • Think about your boundaries and make sure your parents or caregivers know where you will be. • Trick-or-treat in groups. • Have an adult or older teen accompany younger children. • Carry a fl ashlight. • Plan a route through familiar neighbourhoods with well-lit streets. • Never enter a stranger’s house even if you’re invited. CAA Saskatchewan Halloween Safety bookmarks are available at all 12 CAA Saskatchewan Stores and also online at www.caask.ca/safety.
