Wawota business welcome
customers old and new with open house

Cornerstone

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

Shannon Houff, of Wawota’s Front Porch Interiors Furniture and Design, says, “I am in

dreams a reality. What I do is make beautiful, meaningful spaces for our customers and
make everything look good together; whether that’s working with existing pieces in their
home or starting from the floor on up.”
“We have everything up
right now-Christmas decor, accessories and extra giftables. We
continue to welcome our existing clientele and of course, new
clients. As I said, come in and let
us dazzle you.”
Bev King of King’s Department Store agrees. “Try us
before you go out of town,” she
says. “We’ve been in business
40 years, and we have clothing
and shoes for the whole familyfrom infants to grandparents.”
Both King’s Wawota and
Carlyle locations stock apparel
and footwear from a large cross
section of brands, and this year
is no exception. “Among the
items we have this year are
Nixon watches,” says King.
“ For women, we also have
Manitobah Mukluks, for men
we have shirts, socks and Saxx
underwear, and we have Ten
Tree sweaters and T-shirts for
both men and women.”
“We also have fleece sheetsfrom cradle to king-size.”
King says the stores’ commitment to customer service is
at the forefront of their business.
“Like many stores, we offer gift
certificates. But we will also
bring in stock between our stores
and our return policy makes it
easy to shop with us. We are
committed to our customers.”
At Grammie’s Gift Emporium, owner Wendy Brehaut
says of her customers, “When
they come in, I want everyone
to think of their Grandma, to
experience a welcoming place
like home.”
In addition to her floral
business featuring both permanent and natural arrangements
for all occasions, Brehaut also
sells a wide variety of goodsincluding shabby chic furniture
pieces (which quickly sold out),
Enamelware bakeware, Energy
Muse jewellery, Painted Pony
and Willow Tree figurines,
Melissa and Doug toys, Lang
calendars, as well as greeting
cards, and everyday stationery
and office supplies.
“I am one of a few retailers in Saskatchewan that carry
Enamelware,” she says. “It’s
really great bakeware, it’s very
colourful, and it bakes like a
breeze,” she says. “I’m also
featuring firepots. They are safe
to use inside and safe to roast
marshmallows with, so I’m
serving s’mores to my customers.”
“I have gifts for everyone,
and I like to say, ‘If I don’t
have it, you don’t need it,’” she
laughs. “But seriously, I always
keep a quote by Maya Angelou
in mind, ‘People won’t remember what you said or did; they
remember how you made them
feel.’ That’s something I want to
embody in my business.”
“Because of that, I have
a Remembrance Day window
display, and my Christmas stock
isn’t available to purchase until
after Nov. 11. I’m hosting the
store’s Christmas Extravaganza
on Nov. 16 from 10 a.m. until
4 p.m., and I’ll have all of my
Christmas stock out by then.”

A Community Christmas Carol coming to Dickens
By Kelly Running
The Carlyle Dickens Village Festival is
celebrating its 12th year
this December. One of
the main staples of the
celebrations includes the
annual performance of A
Christmas Carol by the
community theatre group,
Cornerstone Theatre.
Throughout these
years Doug Waldner,
co-stage director of this
year’s play, explained
they have only repeated a
production twice. Within
13 years, as Cornerstone
hosted a performance
of A Christmas Carol
the year before Dickens
began, there have been 11
different portrayals of the
famous Charles Dickens
book.
This year is no different with Cornerstone
Theatre bringing to the
Dickens Festival, A Community Christmas Carol
by Mackenzie Easton.
“She’s a very clever
writer, I thought it was
very clever and everyone
who read it loved it,”
Waldner explained. “She
takes the standard Christmas Carol and incorporates it into her version.”
Waldner is joined
by Colleen Easton
(Mackenzie’s mother) in
stage direction, Dianne
Twietmeyer and Lane
Easton (Mackenzie’s
father) in music direction,
and Michele Amy in band
direction.
Mackenzie, in her
first year of university,
wrote the script based
on the idea of a director
continually putting on the
same show every year.
This year the director decides she has had enough
and cancels all of the
Christmas festivities in her
town.
“It’s a small community theatre which has
been putting on A Christmas Carol for many years
and the director gets tired
of it cancelling the whole
Christmas festival,” Waldner smiled as he explained
the premise of the play.
Ultimately Mackenzie took inspiration from
Cornerstone Theatre and
produced an extremely
exaggerated version of
thoughts and feelings that
have come up within those
who perform each year in
the Dickens play.
“Mackenzie has been
part of the group for years
and it’s not biographically
or historically accurate but
it builds up the feelings
we’ve had at times and
takes them to a really fun
place,” Waldner said. “It’s
taking those feelings to
a really high level and in
really funny way.”
“It’s a really fun play.
We’ve got some characters
from our previous Christmas plays coming back.”
Additionally Waldner
explained they are bringing back music from past
performances, will be utilizing last year’s Arizona
set, while also incorporat-

During rehearsals of the Cornerstone Theatre group’s Dickens play, A Community Christmas Carol by
Mackenzie Easton, Dianne Twietmeyer’s character becomes angry and frustrated cancelling all of the
town’s Christmas festivities. The play is a fun twist to the traditional tale written by a second generation
Cornerstone Theatre alum.
ing brand new material.
“It will be fun for
those who have seen all of
the plays because they’ll
be able to pick out different things we’ve done in
the past,” Waldner said.
“Mackenzie’s also
brought in the typical
Scrooge storyline, which
is cleverly worked into the
play that people will catch
as well.”
There are approximately 20 people involved
as characters Waldner explained and happily said a
four or five piece band has
been practicing together.
“It’s been a lot of
work, they have a mashup of three songs that the
characters are singing
which is difficult to do but
it will work out nicely,”
Waldner said. “It’s got
very good songs... there’s
lots of good performers...
and there’s as many genres
of music as we could do in
it too: blues, country, rock
and roll, classic rock, a
show tune, folk, and even
an old time Vaudeville
type of sounding song.”
They have been working together since the end
of September. Moving
forward they have been
focusing their vision and
are excited to be able to
share the finished product
with the community and
Mackenzie, who being
away at school has yet to
see how Cornerstone has
brought her script to life.
Tickets for the
production are on sale
at The Pearl Boutique
(306-453-4488) located on
Main Street across from
Carlyle Memorial Hall.
The production will be
performed on Friday, Dec.
5, and Saturday, Dec. 6, at
7:30 p.m. with a matinee
show on Sunday, Dec. 7 at
2 p.m.
From page 2 – Wawota open house
Kristine Duff of 2nd
Street Eats says, “We appreciate the support of the
community and all of our
customers, whether they
dine-in, or do take-out or
delivery with us. The open
house is a chance for us
to say thanks by serving a
special, which is our chili
in a bread bowl and our
brownies.”
“We’re already taking
bookings for Christmas
parties,” adds Duff. “We
can do in-house catering
for up to 100 people and
we can do off-premises
catering for groups over
100. Year-round, we offer
licenced dining, takeout and delivery, and we
feature pizza, pasta, steak,
and Canadian cuisine. Our
desserts are all homemade,
too. We also serve both
Sunday brunch and Sunday dinner throughout the
year.”
“We pride ourselves
on delivering ‘family
dining on the finer side’,
and we welcome people to
dine with us anytime.”

Wawota’s Wendy Brehaut displays the colourful Enamelware she sells at her
store, Grammie’s Gift Emporium. As one of the retailers participating in the
town’s Open House, Brehaut sells a variety of both beautiful and practical
items in her shop. She is also a qualified florist, who is constantly upgrading
her skills. “I have gifts for everyone,” she laughs. “And I like to say, if I don’t
have it, you don’t need it.”
At Moose Mountain
Meats, manager Sue Leny
also takes pride in supplying quality local cuisine.
“This year, I’ve teamed
up with Barb Dixon at the
Wawota Hotel, and we’re
happy to be hosting a meal
as part of the Open House,
featuring our chicken
souvlaki.”
“At Moose Mountain
Meats, we get a lot of
compliments on our products at our retail outlet.
One hunter texted us and
said ours was he best sausage he’d ever had. If you
want something special,
give me a call,” says Leny.
“All of our products are
made in-store, from sausages and patties to things
like our braided pork loin
that’s stuffed with sausage
meat. We also sell boneless dry ribs, breaded pork
cutlets, harvest leg hams,
prime rib, and cooked and
sliced roast beef.”
“A very popular item
is our chicken cordon
bleu,” she adds. “All of
our products are locally
made and of the highest
quality. We appreciate our
customers and we aim to
please them.”
Wawota Hotel owner
Dixon agrees. “We’re
happy to do the Open
House, as a way to say
thank you to our regular
customers and to welcome our new clientele.
We’re looking forward
to serving them during
the Christmas season and
beyond.”
“I’d like to always
thank my customers for
the support they give me,
and I’m sure everyone
with a business in town
feels that way,” says
Wendy Brehaut. “When
my customers shop locally, it not only benefits
me and my business, it
also allows me to donate
to local fundraisers that
help teams and causes
in our area. It helps the
entire community to shop
locally and this Open
House helps to remind us
all of that.”

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

Young artists with CFY learn from local talent
By Kelly Running
Cornerstone Family
and Youth has been holding art lessons with the
library for the past four
years. This year the art
lessons are taking place
on Thursdays after school,
running from 3:45 p.m. to
4:45 p.m.
Last week on
Thursday, Nov. 6, CFY
welcomed local artist
Marylin Carter to conduct
a colours workshop with
water colours.
“It was nice,” Jenn
Sedor, CFY School-Age
and Youth Coordinator,
explained. “We normally
do art lessons, but it was
nice to have an actual
artist come in and work
with the kids. They got to
use professional quality
products and tools, and
Marylin taught them techniques she actually teaches
adults, so they all learned
a lot about colour.”
Photo submitted
Listening intently, youth learn about mixing water
colours from Marylin Carter, a local artist.
Carter explained the
workshop was a fun way
to get kids thinking about
mixing colours and having
fun while creating art.
“It went really good,”
Carter stated. “They had
a lot of fun and it worked
out really well. There were
some very creative young
people there. They mixed
colours like you wouldn’t
believe.”
“We only had an hour
so we did a little bit about
colour and mixing. They
had three circles drawnred, blue, and yellow- and
they were interlocking, the
kids put water on the circles and tipped the board
so the colours started
running and making other
colours.”
“They then put salt
on it after which sucks up
colour and creates a snowflake effect, so when the
kids go back they can rub
the salt off and see what
they have.”
A total of 17 kids
attended ranging in ages
from four to 12, which is
approximately half of the
youth registered for the
program.
“It’s a free drop-in,
but it does require pre-registration so they do have
to sign up before coming
by either emailing me at

the library with their child
on the Thursday, there’s
a short form to fill out,”
Sedor said.
“Not everyone shows
up because it is a drop-in
program, but on average
we have around 17 kids
that come.”
For November and
December the art program
will focus on making puppets with Margaret Bell.
“The kids will get to
build different types of
puppets, a background,
and create stories that they
will perform on Dec. 18,”
Sedor stated.
CFY is also currently
looking to host an art
show during the week of

OBSERVER OPINION
TV has
its day
By Shelley Luedtke
I
couldn’t find the remote. I was convinced I’d looked
everywhere and it was gone. Could we even turn the TV on
anymore without a remote?
The average home has 2.86 TVs but only 2.5 people. Add to
that the number of TV enabling devices like computers, laptops,
smartphones and iPads in each house and they outnumber the
people who live in those homes by a rather large margin. A
selling feature in real estate today is the existence of a media
room--square footage dedicated solely to the act of watching TV
and movies.
So what has us so enamored? What are we watching?
The Nielsen research company analyzes information collected
through national and local people meters along with more than
two million paper diaries audiences fill out during the sweeps
period in February, May, July and November. Several years
ago I was part of a similar project. I had to keep a week-long
viewing log in thirty minute increments. I found myself thinking
twice when I turned on the TV knowing someone would be
researching what I was watching. The social scientist in me
would call it response bias. The vain part of me wanted people
to think I only watched PBS or educational programs on the
History Channel.
Ratings tell us that among the shows in the top 10 currently
are Thursday Night Football, NCIS, 60 minutes, The Big Bang
Theory and Dancing with the Stars. An eclectic list to be sure.
In 1996 the United Nations General Assembly issued a
proclamation declaring November 21 to be World Television
Day. It read: “In recognition of the increasing impact television
has on decision-making by bringing world attention to conflicts
and threats to peace and security and its potential role in
sharpening the focus on other major issues, including economic
and social issues, the United Nations General Assembly
proclaimed 21 November as World Television Day.”
There have been notable occasions when the images on a TV
have drawn people together into a shared experience allowing
for a connectivity of emotion; John F Kennedy’s funeral, the
moon landing, the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger, the
tearing down of the Berlin Wall and the attacks on September 11,
2001. It has also inspired response as images were brought into
our homes that could not be ignored: famine in African nations,
invasions in the Middle East, children in orphanages in Eastern
Europe, and destruction in the wake of natural disasters all over
the globe.
We often think of the impact of TV watching on children.
Much less thought is put into how TV affects adults. We may
think it doesn’t, but how can that be? Was there some sort of
magic line we crossed that meant what we are exposed to has no
impact? The affect may be different as our abilities to understand
and contextualize develops, but to say we are unaffected by what
we watch is rather short sighted.
And it’s why we need to give thought to what we are
choosing. Sometimes, especially at the end of a particularly busy
day, we may tell ourselves we want to relax, unwind and simply
watch something “mindless”. There is no such thing. We process
50,000 thoughts each day indicating our brains are always at
work. What we put into our heads is the furthest thing from
mindless.
Watching TV can be fun, entertaining, educational,
informative, inspiring and motivating. There are also
programs that can be demeaning, degrading, disrespectful and
disheartening.
It is not just the imagination and thoughts of our children
being impacted by TV--it is very much us as well. As we hold
the remote in our hand we need to recognize that the choices
we make don’t just reflect the program we choose. More
importantly, those decisions are impacting what our minds are
being switched on to. That’s my outlook.
Should death with
dignity be a choice?
By Kelly Running
I
was looking at online news
and magazine articles the other
day when I came across those
regarding Brittany Maynard of
Portland, Oregon. At the age
of 29-years-old she became a
public figure for choosing to
participate in Oregon’s Death
with Dignity Act. She chose
to end her own life after being
diagnosed with brain cancer.
Last spring Maynard was
given six months to live having
been diagnosed with stage four
glioblastoma. In an interview
with People magazine she said:
“My glioblastoma is going to
kill me and that’s out of my control. I’ve discussed with many
experts how I would die from it
and it’s a terrible way to die. So
being able to choose to go with
dignity is less terrifying.”
She continued to tell the
magazine, “For people to argue
against this choice for sick
people really seems evil to
me. They try to mix it up with
suicide and that’s really unfair,
because there’s not a single part
of me that wants to die. But I am
dying.”
To me this doesn’t seem like
it was a decision taken lightly.
She didn’t want to die but the reality was her life was coming to
an end and for her the decision
of leaving this world through
death with dignity was the right
choice for her. She spoke with

her family, they all accepted
her choice. In fact she moved
with her husband, mother, and
stepfather to Oregon in order to
be allowed access to the state’s
Death with Dignity Act.
So, on Nov. 1, with family surrounding her, she passed
away. But not before making
the most of her life by travelling
to Alaska, British Columbia,
Yellowstone Park, and taking a
helicopter ride over the Grand
Canyon.
Upon looking into arguments for and against this choice
I discovered that the main focus
of concern is on doctors promoting euthanasia and detracting
from palliative care, while putting added pressure on elderly
individuals to give up their lives
because they feel they are being
a burden on their families.
I told my mom that I was
thinking of writing on this topic.
Without telling her I was prochoice, she had already agreed
with my opinion as long as it
was regulated that for some
people it is the right choice. She
then told me about being with
my grandfather and when he
passed away years ago. She was
with him at the time and told me
his breath was becoming difficult, it wasn’t that he was in pain
struggling for air, but he was
dying and taking his last breaths.
He lived through the pain
and difficulties of attempting
to overcome lung cancer, he
fought, but was unsuccessful. I
was only about seven-years-old
or so and don’t remember his
last month very clearly, but my
mom said that he was suffering
from so much pain that he was
doped up on enough morphine
that he didn’t even know who
anyone was. She then asked me
if this was right, to drug someone into an almost comatose
state on their deathbed.
What was right? Had he
been given the choice as the
woman in Oregon had, would
he have chosen that or would he
have continued on the same path
he ultimately lost his life on?
The concern about pressures on elderly, however, are
valid and if this topic is discussed in Saskatchewan would
there be a way to ensure choice
for those who want it and protect those who feel pressured?
As of April 2014, four
states in the U.S. Have legalized
physician-assisted suicide. Oregon, Vermont, and Washington
have legalized the act through
legislation, while Montana is
legal through court ruling.
The precedents of Montana, Vermont, and Washington includes a minimum age
of 18-years-old, six or fewer
months until the individuals
expected death, and two oral
(at least 15 days apart) and one
written request to the physician.
So, if these are followed would
it put pressure on elderly. These
stipulations actually make elderly unable to choose it unless
they have been “diagnosed with
a terminal illness that will lead
to death within six months.”

OBSERVER LIFESTYLES
Pause for

Reflection
Possessing enough of God
to be joyful and forgiving
“Nothing is wanting
to him who possesses
God,” said St Teresa
of Avila. “God alone
suffices”.
I tried it; the other
day. I had a physical ache
that kept me from regular
activity and even sleep.
I decided I can have joy
in the world in spite of
suffering. All it takes is
possessing God. That
alone will suffice. In God
alone is our soul at rest.
It worked. Not only
did joy return to me, but
the pain seemed to vanish.
If we can live with a sense
that Jesus is in us, imagine
how powerful that makes
us? Especially when
temptation comes along?
To possess the Spirit
of God we must be free
of anger, jealousy or
unforgiveness. To possess
the Spirit of Jesus we must
build on the sense that we
are Christian, that Christ
is in us, and that when we
move and act, it is Christ
moving in us?
Take a moment
to think of demon
possession. What is that
existence like? Now think
of the opposite, being
possessed by Jesus. Now
follow through and get a
picture of how possessing
Jesus, as St Teresa put it,
would suffice to bring us
joy and the power to face
life’s challenges
Galatians 2:20 says
“Christ lives in me”. We
must walk as He walked;
we must want to have
Christ’s life in us. The
heart of Christianity is
to become like Jesus.
When He shares our load,
especially suffering and
pain, it becomes lighter.
Joy is possible even there.
In Breaking into
Joy Anne Costa says:
“Joy does not depend
upon our circumstances.
It comes from God and
cannot be reduced by
suffering or hardship. Our
circumstances may affect
our ability to see the joy
God is offering to us.
But that’s exactly where
Breaking into Joy comes
in.”
“The present moment
is the best place to start.
And this is possible for
each of us, thanks to the
Holy Spirit who dwells in
us,” Hallie Riedel says of
Costa’s book.
About suffering,
Costa says, “How we
choose to think about
things is always within our
control.” Take the problem
of hatred and holding
grudges.
Imagine the poor
character in the following
scene: “I can’t go to the
Post Office; he might be
there, I can’t go to the
mall; she might be there.
I can’t walk down Main
Street ‘cause it goes right
by his house. I’ll have
to stop going for coffee
‘cause she goes there most
mornings.”
Who is in control
of this life? In a chapter
dealing with forgiveness
as a fountainhead of joy
Costa ends with: “Isn’t
it time to forgive?” Joy
is only possible with
the freedom forgiveness
brings.
Riedel says, “In
the end, pursuing joy
is a personal decision.
Joy doesn’t strike like a
lightning bolt; it deepens
with time and practice.”
And joy comes
naturally to the Christian.
Joy is one of the fruits
of the Spirit, along with
Love, Peace, Patience,
Goodness…and LongSuffering, which is also on
that list.
Holy Spirit… Awaken
within us the ability to
see something of the
possibilities You see for
us as followers of Jesus.
Deepen our desire to
nurture the gifts you have
planted in our hearts.
Help us to pursue with
eagerness and joy the path
of holiness and service
to which we have been
called. (From the opening
prayers of a retreat on the
Gifts of the Spirit)
Be careful how you choose
By Linda Wegner
Ah, elections. Our
American friends and
neighbours recently
elected politicians to fill
hundreds of seats in the
United States House of
Representatives and the
United States Senate. Here
in our city we’re going
to the polls this week to
elect six persons to sit on
our City Council. Though
there are vast differences
in the number of candidates and seats to fill, as
well as a number of other
issues, what really matters is that we have the
privilege and the right to
choose who will represent
us in national, provincial/
state or municipal governments. It’s a choice that
millions of people around
the world have fought for
and died to have. Elections
and government are the
basis for many a joke and
to deny that there are problems is folly; no system is
perfect. Having said that,
I say democracy is to be
preferred to anything else
I’ve heard about.
There are lot of
other imperfections in
the electoral process, as
well. To start with, not
one candidate is faultless.
Even if they were, we
the voters don’t have the
ability to see the future
nor to choose with unerring wisdom the person
or persons who will do
the best job. As I and my
fellow citizens go to the
polls this Saturday, I trust
that we will have carefully
pondered our decision.
Trouble is, even that isn’t
an absolute guarantee.
While there is no
human institution without
flaws and faults, each of
us has the option to make
right choices regarding
eternity. The administration of earth’s laws and
policies might not stand
the test of integrity and
politicians may betray
constituents but we have
the promise that the word
of God is unfailing.
“Forever, O Lord,
Your word is settled in
heaven (stands firm as the
heavens).” Psalm 119:89
Amplified
I vote for that!

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

Parenting Tips from Regional KidsFirst
– Making time for yourself
As a parent, you know
that your life is no longer
your own. You’re helping
children grow up well. To
do that well, you also need
to take care of yourself.
Here’s how.
Tips for . . .All parents
•
Find ways to integrate your personal interests into your life. Even
if you don’t have time to
play your favorite instrument, you can still listen to
music.
•
Know that there will
be times when parenting is overwhelming and
stressful. That’s true for all
parents. You’re not alone.
•
Pace yourself. Parenting is not a sprint. It’s
a marathon (and maybe
more like a triathlon). You
need time to unwind, even
if only for a few minutes.
•
Keep track of your
overall demeanor. Do
you feel energized and
excited—or exhausted
and drained? You’ll parent better when you feel
energized.
•
Cut yourself some
slack. Our society has
very high expectations of
parents. Most parents are
doing the best they can.
You don’t have to be the
perfect parent.
•
Get to know other
parents who have children
the same age as yours.
Talk about what you’re
going through. It helps you
feel less alone.
Find other trusted
adults who can occasionally give you a break.
Having someone watch
your child for a few
hours can give you some
respite—even if you spend
the entire time napping.

By Kelly Running
Wawota hosted 1A
girls volleyball conferences on Saturday, Nov. 8.
With Wawota, Whitewood,
Kahkewistahaw, Manor,
Broadview, and Kakisiwew competing.
The teams began
playing at 10 a.m., with
the tournament running
throughout the day and
into the evening. Those
attending competed for the
top two spots in order to
continue on to 1A Regionals being held this weekend.
Hard-fought matches
saw Kahkewistahaw
come out to win Pool A
with Whitewood taking
second in Pool A. Pool B
saw Kakisiwew earn first
and Manor take second.
The crossover matches
then determined the top
two teams of the day who
faced off in a final.
Kakisiwew and Kahkewistahaw would meet
in the final where in two
close sets, Kahkewistahaw
would be victorious. Both
teams played well and will
be going on to Regionals
this weekend in Kahkewistahaw.
Other local action this
weekend will include girls
4A Regionals being hosted
by the Carlyle Cougars.
Stoughton senior girls
have moved on with Gladmar after their 1A Conferences on Saturday, Nov.
8, in Fillmore. Stoughton
and Gladmar will travel
to Kahkewistahaw for 1A
Regionals. Manor, Arcola,
Wawota, and Lampman
senior girls teams are
finished for the season.
All local senior boys

After a gruelling 20week regular season from
which the Saskatchewan
Roughriders emerged at
10-8, the 2014 Canadian
Football League Playoffs
are now at hand.
The bar has been
raised so high in
Saskatchewan for the past
decade that, to me, the
regular season has become
somewhat tedious. As far
back as June we found
ourselves daydreaming
about what the playoffs
would bring, and in what
way the Roughriders
would have to defend their
2013 championship.
Now we know, and
it’s infinitely thrilling that
the time is now!
Saskatchewan’s 24-17
home win over Edmonton
this past frigid Saturday
night accomplished a lot
of things: it snapped a five
game losing skid, showed
the team they can win
without Darian Durant,
assured an above .500
record and guaranteed
the Riders would stay in
the West Division for the
postseason rather than
crossover into the East. It
sets up a meeting between
the Riders and Eskimos
Sunday at Commonwealth
Stadium in the Western
Semifinal (3:30 pm Sask
time, TSN, 620 CKRM).
“Whether it was
East or West, the team
was prepared to go either
but it’s always nice to
stay in the West,” said a
content Rider coach Corey
And now
the moment
you’ve all
been
waiting for
Chamblin after the game.
“For us we’ve played
Edmonton the most the
past few weeks and there
are some known strengths
and weaknesses in the
opponent. In terms of
prep, it’s good to know the
opponent you’re playing.
There are some base
things to study from this
game and they put their
best foot forward to win
this game.”
Indeed it was
impressive how hard
Edmonton tried to win
Saturday night, given
the fact they really had
nothing to play for. It’s
true they had the ability to
affect who they’d play in
the WSF, but that seemed
to be the last thing on their
mind.
Meanwhile the Rider
coaches were tearing their
hair out doing advance
scouting last week for
a possibility of four
opponents in the first
round of the playoffs:
Edmonton, Hamilton,
Montreal or Toronto.
Now they know it’s
the Eskimos and getting
past them won’t be an
easy task. Edmonton’s
12-6 record represents
the biggest single-season
turnaround in franchise
history after going 4-14
last year. They are also
#1 on offense and #2 on
defense going into the
playoffs. How can you be
better than that?
The thing you’ll
be hearing about the
most this week is the
quarterbacks. Top pivots
Mike Reilly and Darian
Durant were held out of
the final regular season
game by the Eskimos
and Riders respectively,
and we’re told both were
due to injury. Let the
gamesmanship begin.
“Our quarterback was
really hurt,” Chamblin
smiled. “Regarding Mike
Reilly, I think that’s just
a ruse. It doesn’t matter
who their quarterback will
be. We’ll have to be ready
to play.”
Of course Darian
Durant hasn’t played
since September 7 due to
an elbow injury and he’s
slowly been worked into
practice the past couple
of weeks. In Durant’s
absence the past three
weeks, 41-year old veteran
Kerry Joseph has filled in.
“Kerry did a good
job (Saturday night),”
Chamblin continued.
“When he broke the run,
he looked like Darian.
He’s starting to look like
a playoff quarterback.
Whether it’s #4 or #5
going in the playoffs, or
both, we’ll be ready.”
The question is; which
one will it be? Wouldn’t
the Eskimos like to know.
I expect this will be strung
out all week, long enough
for the Rider Nation to
snap up tickets in advance
for Sunday’s playoff
game at Commonwealth
Stadium.
In case you hadn’t
heard, your attendance is
requested.

CARLYLE OBSERVER
Sports Wrap-up with Bruce Penton
– ‘Bum’ has a series to remember
When World Series
lore is recounted 100
years from now, Madison
Bumgarner’s name will be
part of the conversation,
along with the likes of
Bill Mazeroski, Joe Carter,
Sandy Koufax and Jack
Morris.
Bumgarner, one of
the best bargains in Major
League Baseball, displayed
one of the most dominating
pitching performances in
World Series history late
last month as his San Francisco Giants took their third
title in five years.
While Reggie Jackson
might be known as Mr.
October for his home run
exploits in the post-season,
Bumgarner is the pitching
equivalent. In three World
Series, Bumgarner’s stats
are otherworldly: a 4-0
record, a 0.25 earned run
average (one earned run
allowed in 36 innings); 31
strikeouts and only five
walks.
Absolutely the best —
when it counts the most.
Bumgarner won this
year’s Series opener, 7-1,
giving up a solo homer to
Salvador Perez. That was
it for offence against the
25-year-old. He then tossed
a complete-game 7-0 victory in Game 5, and pitched
five shutout innings in the
Game 7 clincher on only
two days rest, to cement
his reputation as one of
the most dominating postseason pitchers ever.
And the paragraph two
reference to Bumgarner
being a bargain? The Giants in 2012 signed him
to a five-year extension
running through the 2017
season for a total of $37.5
million. Considering the
game’s best pitchers these
days are signing free-agent
contracts for $25 to $30 million per season, Giants’ GM
Brian Sabean should get the
Scrooge McDuck award for
contract astuteness. This
year, Bumgarner pitched for
relative peanuts — $3.75
million. He’ll earn $6.75
million in 2015, $9.75 million in 2016 and $11.5 million in 2017. Free agency
— where he would easily
command $200 million or
thereabouts over eight years
if he were eligible today —
will have to wait.
Clayton Kershaw of
the Dodgers is working on
a seven-year deal for $215
million ($30.7 million average) and Justin Verlander’s
Detroit contract is $180 million for seven years ($25.7
million per). Bumgarner’s
agent, were free agency
a reality, wouldn’t even
answer an email if the offer
didn’t start at $30 million
per season.
That’s ridiculous money.
Mad money. But in this day
and age for the guy they
call Mad Bum, it would be
money well deserved.
• Not SportsCenter, on Twitter: “Madison Bumgarner
named World Series MVP,
NL MVP, NL Cy Young, AL
MVP, AL Cy Young, MLB
commissioner, Governor of
California, Pope.”
▪ Greg Cote of the Miami
Herald: “Tiger Woods and
Phil Mickelson are on a
Ryder Cup Task Force probing recent U.S. failures vs.
Europe. Initial finding: Inability to transport Woods
and Mickelson back to their
primes.”
• Cote again: “The Marlins have interest in free
agent-to-be Pablo “Kung
Fu Panda” Sandoval, the
hefty Giants third baseman. Miami likes his bat.
Sandoval likes the Marlins’
‘All You Can Eat Mondays’
promotion.”
• Bears QB Jay Cutler, to
ChicagoBears.com, when
asked if his team prepares
any differently for a home
game than one on the road:
“We don’t get on a plane.”
• Late-night funnyman David Letterman of CBS: “In
the movie ‘Ouija,’ they use
the board to contact the
dead. In the opening scene,
they’re talking to the (NY)
Jets.”
• Bruce Murdock of Portland’s KKCW Radio, after
ex-slugger Jose Canseco
shot off the middle finger on
his right hand while cleaning his gun: “Doctors say
he’ll recover, but he’ll never
be able to drive in New York
City again.”
• Ed Tait of the Winnipeg
Free Press, on Twitter during the Jets game at New
Jersey Devils: “Announced
crowd here at Prudential
Center: 12,897. It’s almost
Halloween; apparently a
popular costume here is an
empty seat.”
• Comedy writer Alan Ray,
after Rockets center Dwight
Howard produced a doubledouble in the NBA opener:
“10 rebounds, 15 complaints.”
• Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald; “A Philadelphia Eagles fan has been
reunited with his prosthetic
leg after another Eagles
fan stole it. Even Philly
fans who pelted Santa with
snowballs are going, ‘You
did what?’ ”
• Dickson again, on Dallas Cowboys’ decision not
to suspend receiver Joseph Randle, a suspected
shoplifter: “Instead, they
chose to think of him as
this week’s team leader in
takeaways.”
• Comedy writer Jim
Barach: “The New York
Yankees have reinstated
Alex Rodriguez after his
162-game suspension for
using PEDs. Apparently
it’s part of the league’s new
12 strikes and you’re out
policy.”
• Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “The San
Francisco Giants used pictures from their last World
Series parade to advertise
this year’s parade. If new
manager Joe Maddon leads
the Cubs to a title, they’ll
need to find someone who’s
an expert in reproducing
cave paintings.”
• Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg, the day after the Giants won the World Series:
“In San Francisco’s Castro
district last night, men were
ripping off their clothes,
swilling champagne and
dancing in the street. When
asked how long they would
celebrate the Giants win,
they said; ‘What Giants
win?’ ”

to Logan Romaniuk for his
quick moves in goal! Sunday the Atoms travelled to
Bienfait to play the minors.
The game started off
fast paced but we were unable to get past their goalie
in the 1st. In the second period Drayden Arndt started
the fire by getting the first
goal of the game and the
team pulled out all the stops
and played their hearts out
with a comeback, but fell
short by 2 goals in the last
2 minutes of the game with
a score of 12-10 for the
Bienfait Minors. We were
proud parents watching
our kids come out fighting

Forget’s Prairie Poet to hold book signings in Carlyle and Stoughton
By Lynne Bell
Author, artist and
prairie advocate, Heather
Peat Hamm of Forget will
be selling, signing, and
speaking in support of her
new book, ‘Blue Grama’
at Michael’s Coffee Shop
& Bakery in Carlyle on
Nov. 20 at 6:30 p.m. She
will also appear at the
Stoughton Library on Nov.
19, for a potluck at 6 p.m.
and a 7:30 reading.
“There are some people who you want more of
in your life,” says owner
Michael Ellis. “Heather is
one of those people. I am
really looking forward to
reading her read excerpts
from her book on Nov.
20, as well as hearing the
musical selections the will
play. I’m looking forward
to reading her book in its
entirety.”
Published by Regina’s
Wild Sage Press, Peat
Hamm’s book is divided
equally between mostly
botannical illustrations
and a collection of poetry,
prose, and five songs, all
created by the author. Peat
Hamm also created the
cover art, which names
and depicts a species of
grass.
“It’s a warm-season
species that does really well further south,”
she says of blue grama.
“There, it’s a big, robust plant. Here, it runs
into limitations in our
landscape. It becomes a
smaller thing, sort of eking
out an existence.”
In the book, Peat
Hamm writes of blue
grama: “I like the way it
manages to sneak into the
landscape where other,
better-suited species could
take over, but this little
grass holds on.”
In addition to her literary, musical, and artistic
talents, Peat Hamm is
also a plant ecologist, and
says, “In my consulting
work, I’ve worked a lot of
different native grasslands,
including Prairie Farm
Rehabilitation Associtation
pastures (PFRA). Things
I see every day during
field season are things that
maybe others don’t get a
chance to see and I wanted
to share some of those
things through the illustrations to remind people
how important the rural
way of life and the native
prairie landscape is.”
“The prairie for me
is personal,” says Peat
Hamm. “I grew up here
and ‘Blue Grama’ is
focused on the people and
the stories that I know.”
“It’s my vision of the
prairie.”
‘Blue Grama’ ($18)
is published by Regina’s
Wild Sage Press. For
more information, contact
Michael’s Coffee Shop
& Bakery in Carlyle at
453-2425 and Stoughton
Library at 457-2484.
Forget’s Heather Peat Hamm
will be introducing her book,
‘Blue Grama’ to area residents at
Michael’s Coffee Shop in Carlyle
on Nov. 20 at 6:30 p.m. Pictured
is one of the many illustrations
in the book, which is made up of the author’s drawings,
poetry, song lyrics, and prose, which are “an emotive ode
to all things prairie.”

Fairlight Christmas
Open House
Fairlight offered shoppers an authentic small-town Christmas experience as
community organizations and local businesses hosted the annual Christmas
Open House on Nov. 8 and 9.
(l-r) Brenda Thompson, owner of Fairlight’s Home Sweet Home Tearoom
& Gift Shop and Anita Cudmore served patrons a Christmas-themed shopping experience to delight in, as customers soaked up the tea room’s festive
atmosphere and sipped and nibbled on complimentary festive fare, including
hot apple cider.
All of the exhibitor tables in Fairlight’s Community Hall had been sold out
“for weeks,” according to organizer Shirley Campbell. “The exhibitors are
from all over and there are some returning favourites and some new exhibitors.”
Saturday’s soup and sandwich luncheon
at Fairlight’s Drop-in Centre featured
homemade fare. Profits from the meal
benefited the community club.
Decorating both the Home Sweet Home Tearoom and the 2nd Edition Gift Shop for the annual Christmas Open House takes a total of 10
days, and is due to the hard work and creativity
of Robin Thompson (pictured).
“We’re very fortunate,” says Brenda Thompson.
“It’s a town-wide event and the success is due to
everybody who works here and everybody who
comes out.”
It’s Flu Season...

Moose Mountain Health Care Recruitment
Committee’s gala for a good cause
By Lynne Bell
The Moose Mountain Health Care Recruitment Committee is urging area residents to save the date and purchase
tickets early for their gala for a good cause-the Nov. 29
dinner and Anders Magic show at Arcola’s Prairie Place
Hall.
“We’ve sold out the all of the years we’ve been doing this except one,” says director Sheila Sim of Arcola.
“One year, we went from 20 percent of tickets sold to 100
percent in four days. We urge people to book their seats in
advance and by doing so, help us keep health care in the
area.”
“The evening begins with a cash bar, followed by
dinner and entertainment, provided this year by Anders
Magic, a comic magician and interactive entertainer. The
food for the meal is donated by Carlyle businesses and
one of the convening groups at Prairie Place has offered
to cook and serve the meal, so it’s a great cause to support,
with every dollar possible going toward the recruitment
and retention of medical personnel in the area. We’d also
like to encourage people to book a table for their Christmas
parties.”
Even though the annual event has often been a sold-out
success in the past, Sim says the recruitment committee
cannot afford to rest on its laurels. “It never gets quiet,”
she says. “There’s always something on the go. Even if
it looks like we’ve got everything we need, we can never
get comfortable. We’ve always got to stay on top of things
when it comes to ongoing recruitment.”
“Our group came together in 2006, when we were first
told the hospital in Arcola was closing due to a nursing
shortage. We managed to recruit one nurse immediately,
and one nurse down the road. We’ve had to get creative.
We especially encourage people that have grown up in the
area or who haved lived here before to come back.”
Sim says one of the biggest challenges regarding
physician recruitment is often retention. “That’s where
we’ve really been trying to step up the pace,” she says. “For
example, there are four homes in Arcola. One is owned by
the Town of Arcola, one by the R.M. of Brock, one by the
Moose Mountain Health Care Corporation operating as the
Arcola Family Health Care Clinic, and one by us. The R.M.
of Moose Mountain was kind enough to give us a mortgage,
and we actually make monthly mortgage payments on that
house, as part of our efforts to retain medical professionals
for the area.”
“We’ve shingled it and painted it and we’ve spent
$1,500 to put in air conditioning. Those things all add up,
and they’re all part of our retention efforts,” adds Sim.
Fellow committee member Lynn Brady of Carlyle
agrees. “We’re in a much better place right now than we
were when we started, but we can’t quit. It was so scary a
couple of years ago when we had closures. We’ve worked
together with Sun Country and we’ve worked together with
our communities. It can’t be a Carlyle thing, or an Arcola
thing. We’ve had great support from both businesses and
individuals throughout the area and we need that to continue.”
“Physician retention is so important, because among
other things, we still need to make sure that we have access
to primary care. To do that, one of the things we need to do
is to make our communities places that medical professionals see as a good place to live in and raise their families in.”
“Supporting this event is one way to help make that
happen.”
The Moose Mountain Health Care and Recruitment
Committee’s fundraiser, featuring entertainment by Anders
Magic, takes place Nov. 29 at Prairie Place Hall in Arcola,
beginning with cocktails at 6:30 p.m., supper from 7-8 p.m.,
and Anders Magic taking the stage at 8:15 p.m.
Tickets are $45 and are available at Pharmasave in
Carlyle at 453-4466, or by calling Lynn Brady at 453-2819,
Sheila Sim at 577-8222 or Brenda Walter at 455-2500.

Well house needs repairs after rodents chew wires
By Kelly Running
The Town of Carlyle
held a regular meeting of
council on Wednesday,
Nov. 5 to discuss various
topics regarding the town.
Lights out
Concerns about lights
being out in town were
brought to the council’s attention. SaskPower will be
notified. This concern also
brought up the SaskPower
App for smart phones
which allow individuals to
pinpoint where lights are
out without having to call
SaskPower.
Sun Country meeting
Alderman Martin
Tourand had attended a
Sun Country meeting.
He described it as being
a workshop type of event
focused on physician
recognition and retention.
Ideas were presented from
those attending of what
they have done in the past.
Additionally there had
been discussion of a possible creation of a Regional Recruitment Committee
for a stronger resource in
doctor retention.
Cornerstone Community
Planning Group
The Cornerstone
Community Planning
Group had held a meeting
in late October. Alderman
Brian Romaniuk explained
the group was doing well
and had discussed ideas
surrounding funding of
recreational facilities in
town. Being planned is a
way to help fund projects
through a 50/50 split in
costs between the organization and the recreation
facility. This will promote
fundraising for achieving goals, while lessening
the burden of how much
will have to be raised by
the different recreational
groups. There will be
stipulations surrounding
what the Community Planning Group will help with
and more information will
be made available as the
plans are finalized.
Bylaw readings
Bylaw No. 2014-13,
A Bylaw to Provide for the
Abatement of Nuisances
was introduced and read a
first time. Further readings were not conducted as
the councillors wished to
read through the document
closely to ensure its wording is correct.
Bylaw No. 2014-14,
A Bylaw to Amend Zoning
Bylaw 2010-06 was read
for the first time as well.
Councillors were unhappy
with the wording and
amendments were required
before continuing with the
second reading.
Correspondence
The Town of Carlyle
declined to participate
with the Rapid Growth
Communities Team. There
was insufficient information regarding what the
Rapid Growth Communities Team does and the
information that had been
provided the councillors
felt they had already dealt
with.
Well house repairs and
maintenance
Well house repairs
need to be completed
after rodents chewed
through some wires.
Delco provided a quote
and the Town is currently
waiting on their insurance to say whether the
damage is covered or not.
The Town would also like
to look into preventative
measures to stop further
rodent damage.
Delco has also been
given the contract for
the Annual Maintenance
Agreement. Cost is
comparable to last year’s
and with the system being
Delco’s the councillors
felt that they would be the
best to have in case of an
emergency.
Upcoming by-election
A date for a byelection was selected; it
will be held on Jan. 21,
2015. Nominations will
be accepted soon to fill
Roy Olmstead’s position.
Olmstead passed away
recently. He had given
numerous years to the
town as an employee and
further years to the Town
of Carlyle as an alderman.

says good-bye to Roy Olmstead

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

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

Dealing with grain transportation
By Calvin Daniels
Grain transportation is obviously a huge issue for
farmers.
That has been the case for decades in reality, and
clearly that was brought into much tighter focus in the
2013-14 crop year in the face of the largest crop in the
history of the Canadian Prairies.
The massive crop of course contributed to the
extreme bottle neck farmers faced in trying to get grain
to market, although the rail companies weren’t exactly
doing a bang up job in terms of the getting grain moving
through the system.
The result was that while there were foreign
markets which came calling for product, the system
simply couldn’t get grain from the farm gate to port
position in anywhere near a timely fashion to make all
the sales come to fruition.
In the end the situation forced the federal
government to implement regulations which set targets
for CP and CN in terms of weekly grain movements to
deal with the grain congestion backlog.
It helped in terms of moving the glut through the
system, although it was far from a perfect solution.
Forcing movements based on gross tonnage targets is
simply not the best way to meet the intricacies of the
grain system.
So it was with some definite interest I read the Grain
Millers Harvest Showdown Grains Expo was holding a
panel discussion of grain transportation. The panel was
made up of people representing various sectors of the
grain industry. It was an opportunity to hopefully hear
some fresh ideas about how to address the transportation
problem long term.
However, the panel focused most of their times trotting
out ideas which have been talked about before with little
impact.
One speaker spoke of a need for a strong livestock
sector, and more processing on the Prairies to divert
Final crop report 2014
Harvest is essentially
complete in the province
as the majority of the crop
is now in the bin, according to Saskatchewan
Agriculture’s Weekly
Crop Report. However,
there are some crops,
such as flax, canary seed
and sunflowers, left to be
combined.
Harvest was challenging for most producers, mainly due to delayed
maturity and excess moisture. Cereal and pulse
crop quality remains an issue for much of the province, with the majority
of cereal and pulse crops
rating well below the 10year average. Yields vary
throughout the province
and are reported as average in most cases. Yields
are reported as 38 bushels per acre for hard red
spring wheat, 37 bushels
per acre for durum, 82
bushels per acre for oats,
58 bushels per acre for
barley, 31 bushels per acre
for canola, 34 bushels per
acre for peas and 1,371 lb.
per acre for lentils.
Average hay yields
on dry land are reported as
1.5 tons per acre (alfalfa),
1.4 tons per acre (alfalfa/
brome hay), 1.3 tons per
acre (other tame hay), one
ton per acre (wild hay) and
1.8 tons per acre (greenfeed). On irrigated land,
the estimated average hay
yields are 2.2 tons per acre

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

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

grain from export, and reliance on rail service.
The hog sector saw high efficiency barns spring up a
number of years ago, based on availability of grain,
labour and land. It was a common sense idea, but the
industry ended up awash in red ink as labour and grain
prices climbed. It’s not coming back anytime soon.
The feedlot sector fared little better. A facility in Rhein
was Business of the Year for the Yorkton Chamber of
Commerce one year and out of business a few short
years later.
As for processing, that was supposed to come when
the old ‘Crow Rate’ for export grain was dismantled. It
didn’t happen.
Now the end of the single-desk selling of export
grain by the Canadian Wheat Board is supposed to fire
processing development. That is yet to be seen, but it
is likely to fall short of creating a major dent in grain
headed to export any time soon.
And there were other old chestnuts too, but we’ll
hold those for part two next week.
Southeastern Saskatchewan (Crop District 1 - Carnduff,
Estevan, Redvers, Moosomin and Kipling areas;
Crop District 2 - Weyburn, Milestone, Moose Jaw,
Regina and Qu’Appelle areas; Crop District 3ASE Radville and Lake Alma areas)
The southeastern
region has the majority of the crop in the bin,
although there are some
flax, canaryseed and durum crops remaining in the
field. There are reports that
some fields may not be
harvested until the ground
freezes or even next spring
due to excess moisture.
Harvest was very challenging for producers as
wet conditions delayed
progress and caused quality issues. Crop yields are
variable across the region,
depending on moisture
received throughout the
season and impact of
diseases such as fusarium
in cereals and root rot in
pulses.
Going into winter,
cropland topsoil moisture
conditions are rated as 20
per cent surplus, 79 per
cent adequate and one
per cent short. On hay
land and pasture, topsoil
moisture is rated as 14 per
cent surplus, 85 per cent
adequate and one per cent
short. Crop districts 1B
and 2B are reporting 38
per cent and 29 per cent,
respectively, of cropland
acres as having surplus
topsoil moisture, while 35
per cent of hay land and
pasture acres in 1B have
surplus topsoil moisture.
There are concerns that
winter will bring large
amounts of snow that may
cause flooding issues in
the spring.
Average dryland hay
yields for the region are as
follows (in tons per acre):
alfalfa and alfalfa/brome
1.6; other tame hay 1.4;
wild hay 1.1 and greenfeed 1.8. Average irrigated
hay yields for the region
are 2.5 tons per acre for
alfalfa and two tons per
acre for other tame hay.
The majority of livestock
producers are indicating
they have adequate to
surplus supplies of feed
(hay, straw, greenfeed and
grain).
Crop reporters have
indicated that winter cereal acres are down from
previous years, mainly
due to a late harvest and
excess moisture.
Farmers are busy completing fall work, hauling bales, bringing cattle
home from pasture and
putting machinery away.

have such a facility in our
area.
A new book “Legacy
of Worship” is filled
with pictures and historical information of many
churches in the southeast
area. It is a newly published book which is a sequel to “Legacy of Stone”.
Margaret Hrynuik and
Frank Korvemaker are the
authors and Larry Easton,
a former Wawota resident
supplied the photographs.
These books are available
at the Moosomin Dental
Center with some of the
proceeds going to “Four
Kids in Ghana” a project
that is helping four young
people get established in
Ghana.
A banquet and awards
evening was held at
Dauphin on Nov. 8. Terri
Tomlinson , Brandon Benner and Dexter Mondor
from Wawota attended
this event. Three members
from the General’s Football Team won All Star
awards.
A couple of months ago
I saw the short list for ,
what I thought was the
Giller Prize Awards so I
ordered the list. I tho9ught
for once when the awards
were presented I would
have all of the books read
and have a better idea
of why the winner was
chosen. After I had read
a couple of the books, I
wondered why some of
the authors were British and Australian as the
Giller Prize is for Canadians only. Looking more
closely I realized that I
had the list for the Booker
Prize which is awarded to
books written in English
and published by United
Kingdom. As I was reading my third book, “The
Narrow Road to the Deep
North” by Richard Flanagan it was announced
that it had won the Booker
Prize. It was the story of
Australian prisoners of
war who survived the
building of the Burma
Railway. Apparently
Richard’s father worked
on this railway and he
died the day that Richard
finished his manuscript!
It was a well written book
and told a good story but
was so graphic. After realizing my error I got the
right list and found I had
already read 2 on the list
and since have read two
more. There are 6 on the
list so will not get to read
them as the Giller Award
Night is Nov. 10! More
about that next week!
As Halloween approached there was some
apprehension about the
community having a list
for trick or treaters, a
Pumpkin Pete Party at the
town hall in conjunction
with the trade show and
UNICEF posters being
sold. From all reports
the house to house trick
or treaters was successful with some houses
reporting more than 100
callers. The party was
well attended and enjoyed
by those who did so. The
UNICEF posters showed
a total of 77 sold with an
extra $50.00 in donations.
I sent $435.00 to UNICEF
last week! Thank you for
your support. I guess there
was room for all three
events!

Snow is falling and
winter driving is near
Staff photo by Kelly Running
Snow and ice make the roads slippery resulting in
a longer distance needed to stop.
By Kelly Running
With our first
snowfall of the season,
more snow is expected,
and with winter comes
ice and the importance of
remembering to prepare
for winter driving.
Preparing for winter
comes with preparing
an emergency kit to be
carried in the vehicle.
Items to be kept in the
trunk include a shovel,
some sand, a warning
light, extra clothing and
footwear, booster cables,
extra windshield washer
fluid with antifreeze,
snack bars, “emergency”
food and water.
Other items suggested
to carry inside the vehicle
include an ice scraper
and brush, flashlight, first
aid kit, matches and a
survival candle, as well as
a blanket.
CAA also suggests
individuals to carry a fully
charged cell phone in case
of emergency.
Before traveling, it is
also important to conduct
a vehicle checkup:
looking at the electrical
system of the vehicle,
brakes, tires, the exhaust
system, heating/cooling
system, windshield
wipers, and keeping
an eye on the fuel tank
ensuring you have enough
for not only the trip, but to
use as a source of heat if
needed.
Though these are
precautionary items to
carry on a trip as well
as regular maintenance,
it is also important to
plan ahead. Checking
the weather and road
conditions before taking
to the road are ways to
possibly avoid traveling
through storms. It may
also help encourage
drivers to take extra time
to get to and from one’s
destination according to
road conditions.
Cruise control can
actually put a vehicle into
a skid as it hydroplanes,
causing the tires to lose
contact with the road
surface and accelerate
to a greater speed.
Reducing power to tires
prevents skids, so when
wheels continue to spin
it increases the chances
of losing control of one’s
vehicle. (www.ama.ab.ca)

Roy Olmstead
He had no airs about him
and was always mindful of
people. He was concerned
with seniors and kids, and
had a connection to all
ages and everybody in the
community. We all made
decisions based on people,
but you always heard Roy
speak about how a decision would affect people
because he always empathized with them.”
“He was incredibly
kind and thoughtful; and
he really believed in Carlyle.”
Olmstead’s memorial
service was held last week
on Wednesday, Nov. 5.
A kind and caring
community member, he
served Carlyle faithfully
for 39 years and touched
many people’s hearts with
his friendly and compassionate demeanor.
“Roy was a very big
role model for me and is
the reason I signed onto
council,” Jenn Sedor,
Town of Carlyle council-
lor, explained. “It was nice
to know someone so dedicated and community oriented. His passing leaves a
void in our community.”

According to CAA,
snow and ice are more
slippery at this time of
year with the temperature
nearer to 0°C than it is at
-20°C. Black ice is also
more likely to be found at
temperatures between 4°C
and -4°C. Black ice often
forms in shaded areas of
highways, bridges, and
overpasses. Though it is
difficult to tell where black
ice is, it is important to
watch for black and shiny
patches on the highway.
While on the road it
is also necessary to leave
more space between the
vehicle in front of you
and your own as stopping
takes longer when the
roads are slippery with ice
and snow.
According to
Forensic Dynamics Inc.
their Stopping Distance
Calculator calculates
stopping in snow while
traveling 100km/h at
131.22m as opposed to
56.23m on dry asphalt.
While travelling at
120km/h, which through
The Observer’s driving
experience is the typical
speed on Hwy 13, it
takes 188.96m to stop as
opposed to 80.98m on dry
asphalt.
Staff photo by Kelly Running
Check the weather forecast and give yourself extra time to get to your
destination before you leave.
On ice traveling at
100km/h can result in
braking taking 262.45m,
while the vehicle can
also be put into a skid. At
120km/h it can take up to
377.92m to stop.
If something does
happen that results in your
being trapped in a storm
or a snow bank, stay calm.
Avoid heavy shoveling in
the cold, but do make sure
to check the tailpipe and
make sure it is not covered
by snow.
It is suggested
that keeping a window
cracked open on the side
of the vehicle sheltered
from the wind supplies
fresh air. Use a survival
candle to keep warm as
opposed to the vehicle’s
heater. Staying awake is
also important to remain
attentive in watching for
traffic or searchers and
exercising your arms and
legs while in the vehicle.
Ultimately it is
important to be prepared
for anything and although
being stranded on the side
of the road is not a usual
occurrence for most, it
is a very real concern
during these coming cold
months.

The ticket, $40

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