“Someone call 911! I lost my phone… I don’t know where my phone is,” a girl yells as Arcola grade 10 to 12 students exited Prairie Place Complex coming upon the mock collision scene. The scene unfolding in front of them included the driver of a vehicle running around senselessly. She reveals she had been drinking, “I only had a couple,” and had been distracted for a moment, “I got a text and checked it, no one was there, and then I hit her.” Laying on the ground, bicycle in disarray, is a girl whose friend is yelling at her to wake up. The friend is doing chest compressions as the one laying on the ground is not breathing and her heart has stopped. Inside the vehicle are two passengers, they too had been drinking, but are now pinned in the vehicle. A few minutes later, which seems like many minutes, the sirens can be heard in the distance, help is coming. RCMP, EMS, and the Carlyle Fire Department pull up to the mock crash to

show the students a realistic example of what happens when you are involved in a serious collision. EMS check out the driver, which RCMP then arrest. The girl laying on the ground is pronounced dead by EMS, her friend is unwilling to accept this, but RCMP are able to eventually get her away. The funeral home is later seen stopping to pick up the girl that had been hit by the car. During this time the Carlyle Fire Department quickly works to get the passengers of the car out using the Jaws of Life, so EMS can transport them to the emergency room. It was a quick glimpse into what can happen when you drive intoxicated or distracted and it was something the students say was impactful. “I thought that the crash was handled in a very professional way by emergency services, and was a sobering example of what the consequences can be if you’re impaired or distracted while driving,” grade 12 student and S.A.D.D. member, Jordan Johnston explained.

Mock crash impacts students in Arcola

Grades 10 to 12 at Arcola School experienced a mock crash the morning of Aug. 29 as part of the Prevent Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth (P.A.R.T.Y.) program held. Students watched as emergency personnel responded to a mock motor vehicle collision and later attended sessions facilitated by EMS, RCMP, the Arcola Hospital, Addictions Services from Estevan, Hall’s Funeral Home, and an occupational therapist.

The rest of the day was fi lled with various sessions with local EMS, RCMP, RNs, Addiction Services, funeral home, and an occupational therapist. Each one spoke of their personal experiences and shared what it’s like doing what they do. Though all were impactful, Hall Funeral Services enlisted the help of Auldene Craig, organizer of the day, to sit in as the mother of the young girl who was killed in the mock collision. Craig emotionally answered the questions stating that a child should never go before their parent. “The sessions were personal and informative since we could talk with the professionals that deal with each stage of an accident,” Johnston stated. “We were informed about how these tragic situations eff ect hundreds of people, how they are dealt with, and what we can do to be safe and prevent it from happening.” Students also learned about statistics throughout the day. For people from one-year-olds to 44-year-olds injury is the leading cause of death. Seven of 10 deaths amongst 15 to 24-year-olds are injury related. Alcohol was one of the largest contributing factors

to motor vehicle collisions, but in 2012 distraction and inattention took the lead. Overall 90 percent of injuries are predictable and preventable. “Injuries are not accidents,” Lorie Herchuk Norris, the South Saskatchewan Acquired Brain Injury Education and Prevention Coordinator, said upon presenting the stats. The day wrapped up with Vanessa Kavalench, the attending presenter on Addictions Services, spoke about her brother, Clancy. Vanessa had never told his story before and the emotions were raw as she talked about the numerous times he got behind the wheel intoxicated, lucky to have lived. One day though, his luck ran out and Vanessa said it was a relief to discover he had not hurt anyone else when he rolled his vehicle. However, Clancy died in the incident, which left his family and friends to survive without their son, brother, uncle, or friend. He had many people who cared about him and they will all be aff ected by his death for the rest of their lives.

Southeast Saskatchewan has developed a fi ddling culture, which has been grown by Michele Amy of Forget. This past weekend showcased what her students are capable of as they performed a two act production, The Fiddle History of Canada. The production was envisioned by Gordon Stobbe and follows the history of Canada through the point of view of the fi ddle. With Cornerstone Theatre helping put the showcase on through acting out historical moments in time, and were followed by numerous tunes from that period. Doug Waldner, with Cornerstone Theatre, helped to re-write the script for the occasion. The project was brought to the community through Amy and her fi ddle studio. Through her Cornerstone Theatre contacts they decided on a way to make the showcase, which has travelled across Canada to different areas, a uniquely Carlyle and area production. The production was dedicated in memory of Fred Easton, the man who taught Amy how to play and is the grandfather of fi ddle music in the southeast, as well as Father Banga, who had been very supportive of the fi ddling culture being developed in the area. The performances took place on Thursday, April 30, and Friday to Sunday, May 1-3. A total of 54 young fi ddlers put on a spectacular show with the help of eight musicians in the pit band, fi ve actors, and nine backstage assistants. There was a total of 360 costumes used and 84 props included in order to bring forth the fi nal show. The students amazed the audience as they took to the stage playing hours of music. They further impressed the crowd as they took the 35 songs and would go from one into another without missing a beat. As one patron was heard saying, “That’s a lot of notes!” He was thoroughly impressed by the showcase and all of the songs the youth knew. Fiddlers participated from Alameda, Arcola, Carlyle, Carnduff, Corning, Estevan, Forget, Stoughton, Lampman, Oxbow,

Redvers, and Manor. Ages ranged as well from very young to adult fi ddlers bringing together numerous fi ddling enthusiasts. Fiddling in Canada comes with a unique history, which developed through a mosaic of cultures coming together and sharing their music. French, English, Scottish, Irish, Eastern European, and First Nations music all met in Canada to form a truly unique sound, which resonates through today’s Canadian fi ddlers. In fact the Maritimes have preserved old tunes which have been lost in the old countries

and people travel from Ireland and Scotland to relearn this music. A great amount of work was put into the production, which was very evident. It was a spectacular showing that many said could have been held in places like the Centre of the Arts in Regina. Everyone in attendance was wowed by the showcase and thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the production. Earlier in the week a few performers travelled to different schools in the area to showcase what they’ve been working on. Check www.carlyleobserver.com for videos of two songs from the showcase.

One of the songs performed was actually featured on the movie Titanic, so the fi ddlers paid tribute to both the artist and the movie with their performance of Sean Ryan’s Polka.

IN FOCUSObserverThe 5Friday, May 8, 2015

By Kelly Running Sometimes life deals you an unexpected hand. For Stephanie Gress of Arcola (24), a teacher at Ocean Man Education Centre, this came with the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) last year on June 24. “I was diagnosed quickly,” Gress explained. “It was scary and overwhelming, but they identifi ed it quickly which was good.” It was at the end of May last year when Gress began to feel odd, “I felt like someone went inside my brain and switched everything over. My brain still worked, but my balance was completely off .” Focused on needing to work and making money she ignored the symptom continuing on with her days driving to school and teaching. This lasted for 15 days and ended with a trip to the emergency in Arcola. “I looked like I had had a stroke,” she said. “I was paralyzed and numb on my left side, I couldn’t close my eye, couldn’t smile. At the emergency they determined it wasn’t a stroke, they had been preparing to send me by ambulance to Regina, but it was not a stroke and they told me I had to get to the emergency in Regina in the morning.” A neurologist then met with Gress ordering a CAT scan and an MRI. Within one week these were completed and she was asked to meet with the neurologist. On June 24, with her parents and her boyfriend, she was told she was dealing with Clinically Isolated Syndrome of MS. There were 10 lesions in her brain and four in her neck that the neurologist could see on the x-rays. The 15-day attack was actually a relapse; Gress had been dealing with MS since university. Stress triggers her relapses and university is a stressful place, but the three-day attack she had experienced was chalked up to migraines at the time.

As soon as Gress was diagnosed she went onto Google, which she now says is a bad idea for someone fi rst diagnosed because as she attempted to learn more about the illness she was bombarded with photos of people in wheelchairs and the worst case scenarios. In the fi rst few months Gress was constantly asking “Why me?” and became depressed as she focused on this. “I jumped to conclusions and was focusing on the ‘What if’s,’” Gress explained. “I hid in my room and cried lots.” With support from her parents, her boyfriend, her boyfriend’s family, and three close friends her outlook began to change. Gress began to focus on the positives in her life and the people in her life who would do anything for her. Gress’ mother-in-law has been wonderful through the process of being diagnosed and helping Gress as she was diagnosed with MS years ago. As Gress spoke with The Observer she explained that she was having a relapse and was on day 54, but was fi nally feeling a little bit better. “You know when your arm falls asleep?” Gress asked, “It tingles and can be painful, that’s kind of what it feels like right now, only across my entire body.” “The best way to describe it, because it’s tough to explain to someone who doesn’t have MS, is that it feels like I want to unzip my skin and rip it off because it feels like I’m going crazy. The sensation of something rubbing against my skin is irritating, it hurts to wear clothing or lay in bed. You’re uncomfortable in your own skin.” Since fi rst being diagnosed with Clinically Isolated Syndrome, which is where MS attacks may not occur in individuals for years, Gress’ has progressed to Relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS). “When lesions fl are up that’s when you experience symptoms and a new symptom means a new lesion is fl aring up. Their location is what determines your symptoms and I have a new one in my neck fl aring up, which is why I’m not unbalanced and am feeling that tingling feeling throughout my

Stephanie Gress (24), a teacher at Ocean Man Education Centre, was diagnosed last year with Multiple Sclerosis. She spoke to The Observer about living with MS and her eff orts to bring awareness about the disease to light through participating in the MS Walk in Estevan on May 24, while she also has a blog she faithfully updates in order to bring awareness to MS and to inspire people.

Living with MS:Stephanie Gress speaks about the invisible illness

body.” “It’s progressing faster than my neurologist had thought, so I’m listening to my doctors, but now I’m also doing my own research to try and help.” This includes changing her diet by cutting out dairy, gluten, and junk food. Focused on feeding her body only what it needs she has found that she no longer has stomach problems and has more energy. “It’s odd because people with MS are always exhausted, but I’ve found through changing my diet that I can make it through a day of teaching now without getting tired,” Gress stated. This she picked up through the book, “The Wahls Protocol,” by Dr. Terry Wahls, a doctor who was diagnosed with MS, but none of the medication she was off ered helped. Wahls began focusing on a holistic way to take care of the body and Gress has found this to be very helpful. “It’s about taking care of your body,” Gress said. “It allows you to be a little bit selfi sh because you have to do what’s right for you.” “I’m still learning and am trying diff erent things, I’ve even been to see someone who does body talk, a girl from Lampman… it’s very diff erent and some people don’t believe in it, I’m not sure if I fully believe in it but I’m also trying that.” Making a diff erence in people’s lives is something that Gress has a passion for, it’s why she became a teacher, and she has decided that she will use her illness to hopefully inspire and create a change. “My friends encouraged me and I really wanted to do something, so I’ve started to write a blog,” Gress explained. “I want to make a diff erence, I want to make a positive diff erence, and it makes me feel better to be able to write about what I’m going through. People are welcome to talk to me, but they

can also read my blog now to see what I have to say.” This has been exciting for Gress as she has been contacted by people across the prairies who have been reading it, people she doesn’t know, who have been taking in her story and complimenting her for her strength in a diffi cult situation. “As a teacher, I like feeling like I’ve made a diff erence, it’s why I don’t want to quit,” she said. “Teaching is stressful and that is a trigger, but even on my bad days, the kids still hug me and say ‘You’re the best teacher.’ Or they come get me to read a poster that had been up in the hallway forever that they’ve always seen, but have just learned to read. Any job comes with stress and it’s the way you deal with it that counts, so I remember the good and forget the bad.” “It’s amazing how the internet can connect us. I didn’t feel like that before and now I feel like I have a job to do. I’m excited for when I’m 70-years-old and can look back and say I did something, I made a diff erence. And through this blog, through seeing people reach out to me that I don’t know, I already feel like it’s happening, like I’m making a diff erence.” Gress’ blog can be found at http://mylifel ivingwithmultiplesclerosis.blogspot.ca/2015/04/life-is-hard-and-sometimes-confusing.html. Gress and Laura Dayman (her mother-in-law) are also going to be walking in the Estevan MS Walk to be held on Sunday, May 24, under the team name “Mom & Steph,” the initials being MS. They are fundraising for this and can be supported through visiting http://mssoc.convio.net/site/TR/Walk/SaskatchewanDivision?team_id=77562&pg=team&fr_id=4316. When asked about what she most wants people to know when it comes to MS, Gress says, “Don’t jump to conclusions. Everyone is diff erent and MS aff ects people diff erently. It’s an invisible disease and lots of people say, ‘Oh, it’s all in your head.’ And no it’s not. The diet for example might help one person, but not the next. Medication may help this person, but not that person.” She has found that the MS support group in Estevan has been fantastic, whether coming together for their monthly meeting or meeting in smaller

groups for a cup of coff ee it’s helping Gress to talk to people who understand what it feels like to have MS. One other thing Gress says people should be aware of is a question, though it shows concern, it’s actually something that is very diffi cult to answer; how are you feeling? “Sometimes the worst question you can ask someone is, ‘How are you feeling?’ Ask about their day or what they did, but ‘How are you feeling?’ is really hard to answer because it’s hard to describe or actually explain it to people. It’s nice that people care, I do appreciate that, but some days it can just be a really, very hard question to answer.” Taking it day-by-day, Gress is focused on living positively and using her illness to make a diff erence in the world. The causes of MS are not yet completely understood. Symptoms, however, can range from tremors, to fatigue, loss of balance, impaired vision, impaired speech, and paralysis. It is explained by the University of Saskatchewan as being an unpredictable and frustrating illness, one that can go undetected as symptoms can be mild and ignored, attributed to something else.

Currently there is no cure and only some of the symptoms can be treated. According to the U of S, one in every 500 Canadians has the illness and Canada has the highest amount of people living with MS in the world. Within Saskatchewan there are over 2,500 people who have the illness, which is the most per capita across Canada. Why Saskatchewan has the highest rate is unknown. Research continues to fi nd a cure and to answer questions surrounding MS.

An appreciative audience packed Arcola’s Prairie Place Hall, as the Manor branch of Marley’s Dance Effex studio held their 2015 recital with dancers-from the tiniest to those in their twenties-showcasing their talents in genres from traditional ballet to hip-hop. The Manor branch of the club is owned and operated by Marley Brown of Weyburn. “We have about 60 dancers who come to Manor,” says Brown. “The show is designed to let the dancers showcase their talents, including their competition pieces. This is our fourth year here, and the fi rst year our Manor branch has won any awards in competition. They competed in

Marley’s Dance Eff ex showcases successful season Weyburn, Moose Jaw, and Regina this year, and I’m really happy with how well they did.” Korinn Riddell of the club’s Manor branch agrees. “We have students from Manor, Carlyle, Storthoaks, Wawota, Arcola, Kipling, and Reston. Our studio offers various dance styles including tap, jazz, ballet, lyrical, and hip hop. Our recital always has quite a variety, as we have dancers from ages two to twenty years with varying levels of experience from beginners to advanced.” The fast-paced show featured 41 selections-including solos, duos, groups, and guest dancers, including several award-winning pieces. “We are very lucky to have many volunteers who help make the recital successful every year,” says Riddell. “And we are always pleased with the large crowd that comes to support our dancers. It is a great opportunity for the students to show their talents to family and friends.”

Intermediate and Senior dancers closed the show with a hip-hop fi nale. The troupe-Mackenzie Carley, Hanah Coff ey, Jaryn Desjarlais, Nyssa Gentes, Jasmine Hamel, Tori Jones, Desiree Riddell, Destiny Riddell, Karlee Russill, Chelssea Slykhuis, and Brooke Valentine-won a “Most Outstanding” award in Regina for this routine.

Benevolent Blankets: Bits and Pieces Quilt Club to donate 32 quilts

This year, members of Carlyle’s Bits and Pieces Quilt Club have created 32 quilts that will be donated to area causes and individuals. The club has already presented six quilts- intended for the use of patients receiving treatment- to the dialysis unit at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Estevan, as well as one quilt to Moose Mountain Lodge for use in palliative care, and two to the Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge, to be raffl ed off. The lovingly-crafted quilts are made in full, child and baby sizes, and some are specially-sized for use by people in wheelchairs. In the past, the 15-year-old club has also donated quilts to the Regina Salvation Army and the Red Cross, and will be doing so again this year.

GFK students will transform the halls of Carlyle’s high school into old-school Hollywood, as they host their second annual Arts Gala-and you’re invited! Arts education teacher Carly Broberg says, “ Our SLT (Student Leadership Team) is running the gala and everyone is welcome to attend. Our theme this year is ‘Vintage Hollywood’, and we’d like to invite the community. There is no admission charge, instead, it’s a silver collection. Everything we raise will go to our Art Programs, here at the school.” Last year, the event raised $1,000 and Broberg says the money enabled the school to purchase “equipment for the art room, more acrylic paint, and lots of canvases.” “What the abundance of art supplies gave us was peace of mind,” says Broberg. “Students could fi nish their assignments and some of them continue to paint at home, even after they’re fi nished the semester. They have that option this year, because we have those extra supplies.” Along with paintings and coloured pencil work on canvas, the gala will also showcase the culinary creations, musical and dramatic talent, and sewing by GFK students from grades seven to 12.

From high school to Vintage Hollywood: GFK invites you to second annual Arts Gala May 14

Basically, if it’s something they’ve sewn and they want it in the show, we’re not limiting them.” Attendees will not only be treated to a display of students’ talent with galleries and the talent show, they can also buy and bid during the event. “We’re having a bake sale, with themed baking by the SLT kids,” says Broberg. “We also have some great silent auction items and door prizes starting to come in, and we’re so grateful for the contributions from individuals and businesses that support us.” “Last year, our school secretary, Audrey Rasmussen donated a beautiful homemade quilt, and local artists, individuals, and businesses from the community really got behind us with contributions for our silent auction. Because of them, we had a great silent auction and their donations really made a difference.” “This year and last year, Payton Littlechief’s grandparents have very geneously donated two Ken Lonechild paintings to our silent auction.” “We’re looking forward to our second event, and we welcome donations for our silent auction,” says Broberg. “And we’re looking forward to showcasing our students’ talent to the community.” The GFK Vintage Hollywood Arts Gala will be held at Carlyle’s Gordon F. Kells High School, Thursday, May 14 from 7-9 p.m. Admission is silver collection. More more information, or to make a donation, contact Carly Broberg at 453-2500.

Grade 12 student Jessie Y. works on a picture among a selection of the student art work that will be displayed during GFK High School’s second annual Arts Gala, held at the high school on Thursday, May 14 from 7-9 p.m. This year’s theme is Vintage Hollywood, and will feature paintings and drawings on canvas, quilts and sewing projects, baking (for sale), a talent show, door prizes, and a silent auction.

VIEWS8Tea cup or a cup of tea

Quote of the Week . . .Friday, May 8th, 2015

“An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind”

- M. K. Ghandhi

Losing an art form

ObserverThe


Shelley Luedtke

ObserverThe

We were living in Alberta at the time. My mom,

sister and I had moved there from Saskatchewan following the sudden death of my father. It was our fi rst Mother’s Day in a different city--different province--and different life without our dad, and my sister and I wanted to do all we could to give mom a noteworthy celebration. We pooled our student-limiting resources and decided upon a small, pretty array of fl owers nestled in a delicate teacup. Plans were made to pick up our chosen arrangement the following Saturday morning and take it home to surprise mom. Enter a multi-million dollar corporation. Our plans were dwarfed--literally--by a beautiful and generous gesture on the part of a huge company. The province’s large telecommunications corporation was holding a Mother’s Day draw in honour of its customers--and our mom won! Her prize? A massive, and I do mean massive, bouquet of fl owers arriving the Saturday of Mother’s Day weekend. It was as wide as it was tall and contained dozens upon dozens of glorious blossoms. The sheer size of the bouquet was stunning--as was the beautiful aroma of the fresh fl owers. It was a gift without parallel. Enter two teenage girls…and our diminutive teacup with the little pink fl owers. Our mom did exactly what you would expect a good mom to do. She expressed total and deep appreciation for the fl owers we had given her. But it wasn’t an act. It was heartfelt and genuine. Whereas the large bouquet was an architectural wonder and explosion of colour, she remarked that our gift demonstrated how well we knew she would like the pretty pink teacup adorned with the pink ribbons cradling the lovely pink blossoms. Pink--her favourite colour. My mom was younger than I am now when she was widowed. She had two teenagers to raise, a career to resume and a move to make. The older I become the more I am in awe of what she was able to do while coping with shock, grief and facing a future she didn’t expect. I don’t know the multitude of emotions she might have been experiencing. I can only imagine the idea of unexpectedly becoming a single parent must have made that Mother’s Day surreal. How many other mothers had to face that day as bravely as she did? How many more will have to do so this weekend? Whispered plans and hushed giggles will be taking place in many homes and classrooms as children craft cards and gifts, and countless kitchens will be transformed into early morning work zones as children prepare breakfast to surprise mom. These are all precious events and traditions to embrace and cherish. But in many other places there will be scenes of a very different kind; mothers in refugee camps and war zones desperate to protect their children, children in orphanages and shelters desperately longing for mothers, and mothers everywhere who wish their relationship with their child was different than it currently is--for whatever reason. As we gather, celebrate, send our wishes,

The other day we found something rather odd in the offi ce. We were discussing a keyboard and how the painted on letters were worn off of much of it, but it’s a comfortable keyboard so someone was interested in continuing to use it. The conversation then turned to if people need to look at the keyboard or not because a student in high school was attempting to read cur-sive hand writing the other day here, but couldn’t do it. So, would a student be able to type without looking at where their hands are or must they look down? We didn’t have anyone around to ask at the time, but both Ainsley (who works in production) and myself said that as long as we fi nd the home row with the bumps on the keys of “F” and “J” that we don’t have to look at the keyboard. Yet, we could both read cursive handwriting as well, but with an emphasis on technology for the younger generation do they need to look down or not? I digress, however, because using the keyboard (students should be able to do this without looking at what keys they’re hitting) isn’t the point of this column. I fi nd it surpris-ing that in school cursive is no longer taught. Aynsley spoke about how she remembered taking it as a youngster and the pride she took in being graduated to a pen, because until you had your letters down you were stuck with a pencil. It was a fun milestone that kids used to meet; but, more importantly it’s a lost art form now that it’s not being used in school. I myself have terrible handwriting: it’s

squishy, small, and messy. However, if I take my time I can actually write quite well and I can read handwrit-ing… sometimes getting caught up on letters depending on each person’s style of handwriting which varies. Kids today, however, are vastly missing out in my opinion. I stud-ied history in school and one of the primary sources that we worked with were journals. People made notes and wrote down their thoughts through

cursive. It’s extremely important to be able to read these sources when researching. I know what you’re all thinking right now, we’re not historians and primary sources mean nothing to us. But, they do. My grandmother passed away last fall and she had numerous writings saved away including a medical bi-ography, notes to all the grandchildren, and a history of her life from throughout the years. The feelings associated with being able to read her writings, in her handwriting even after she was gone, it made it feel like she was right there with us again. She was a very proper lady and her handwriting was the same way, elegant. I don’t thinking printing has ever been ac-cused of being elegant, but perhaps I’m wrong. However, kids today won’t be able to read their grandparents’ writing and will be missing out on that aspect of life. So, although technology is important and typing is necessary to learn I don’t think cur-sive writing is something that should be lost and it’s too bad that it is no longer taught.

show our appreciation and express our love, let’s also take a moment to acknowledge those who may have lost their mothers this year, mothers who have lost their children, and those who long to be mothers. After the fl owers have been delivered, the hugs exchanged, and the meals enjoyed, think about someone who may fi nd the

thought of Mother’s Day more than they can bear right now, and give them your time, your gentleness, and your understanding. Make an additional call, drop off another card, or make plans to enjoy a cup of tea with someone for whom motherhood takes on a whole different defi nition. That’s my outlook.

Pro anonymity for lottery winnersby Kelly Running

Anonymity and thelottery

by Lynne BellObserver Staff

Friday, May 8th, 2015

ObserverThe

Editor’s Note . . .The views expressed in “Seeing things

differently” are for discussion purposes and are not necessarily the views of the

writers.

Imagine this… you buy a lottery ticket each week. You hope to win, but it’s such a rare

thing, so many people out there purchase tick-ets and what are the chances of winning the big prize. But, the lure of $50 million is enough to buy the ticket. You take it in to be checked, after forgetting about it for a few days after the numbers are drawn, and can’t believe it when you discover you hold the winning ticket! You’ve won! It’s amazing! It happened! Now the press gets wind of it and the Lot-tery Corp. tells you that you have no anonym-ity, that they are going to release your name as the big winner and you have no choice in the matter. After all, it’s written on the back of the ticket that they name winners. However, why does this have to be the way it is? If someone wants to remain anonymous when receiving their winnings then why can’t they? Why not handle it like we do our RCMP report? Just say where they’re from, how old they are, and what their gender is. The thing about winning that much money is that you end up with people asking for a piece of it. Family and friends, even people you don’t even know well, become greedy and start asking you to invest in a business idea or to loan them money. They all have plans for the money you’ve won and ignore what you want to do with it in favour of their plans. Sure, if I came into $50 million I would share it around. I’m not saying you shouldn’t share the wealth if you win, but if a friend, family member, or acquaintance wins you shouldn’t harass them about it. Let them make their own decisions and if they ask for your in-put, give it to them, but even though they won the money and didn’t earn it, as some people see it, it’s still not on you to tell them what to do with it. Being able to remain anonymous would al-low you to maintain your lifestyle if you want-ed to. If you wanted someone to know you had

Have you ever been asked the question: “Would you rather be rich or famous?” I have, and I

suspect my answer is the same one that most people would choose. Wealthy anonymity trumps fame (or even fame plus money) every time. However, most things in life come with a price, and the recent news story about the winner of a $50 million, tax-free lottery prize in British Columbia is an example of someone who got lucky once, and is determined to push that luck to the limit. The winner of the March 16, 2014 Lotto Max prize only recently claimed their massive win, and more than a month later is still fi ghting for the right to remain anonymous, and (at the time I’m writing this, anyway) is prepared to turn their fi ght for anonymity into a court battle, having already contacted a lawyer. This is in spite of the fact that the B.C. Lottery Corporation (and many others) clearly state that any person who purchases a lottery ticket must allow their name and photo to be published as a condition of claiming their winnings. A spokesperson for B.C. Lotteries says that this practice “protects the integrity of gaming and lotteries by being open and transparent” and that BCLC has drafted its policy taking provincial privacy laws into account, as well. Blanket anonymity is not allowed by any of this country’s lottery corporations, and although exceptions have been made, they are exceedingly rare. Some American states and some lottery companies in Europe allow winners to remain anonymous; and there are compelling arguments for such an attractive option, among them: safety, security, and the no-hassle factor regarding the requests for cash that are an almost-inevitable part of a lottery winner’s experience. Unless there are extenuating circumstances in the case of the B.C. winner (of 50 million tax-free dollars!) that haven’t yet come to light, this individual’s decision to challenge the province’s Lotto Corp. seems at best churlish, and at worst, ungrateful in the extreme. The rules are clearly stated on the ticket itself and one can probably assume the purchaser of the winning ticket was fully aware of the rules of the game. Even if they were not, they certainly could choose to simply not claim their prize, and their winnings would eventually be returned to the lottery pool. Instead, by waiting a year, they have literally lost time and possibly, money. Rather than paying a lawyer to represent them in court over this entitled argument, they could have been earning interest on their win, enjoying the money themselves, and (even better in my opinion), lessening the burden such a massive win would bring, by spreading it around to some deserving causes and individuals. Now there’s an idea...

come into a windfall then you could, otherwise you are free to be you and reveal what you want to. The argument for saying who it is has to do with the integrity of gaming and lotteries having to be completely transparent. But, what if they were only in a different way. List the features out of the RCMP report like I’ve said about the winners of the money and then a year later post a photo of the winner with their name. Dealing with the fallout of everyone know-ing that you’ve come into money would be easier once you’ve become established with it or once you’ve spent it all, which I’ve heard of happening. Being anonymous doesn’t just come with avoiding unwanted attention from friends, family, and casual acquaintances thinking they’re entitled to it just because they know you. Being anonymous would also allow you to remain safe as once your photo and name are used across the country, even the unsavoury characters in the world will know you have money. Perhaps they would target you and your household upon discovering you’re now worth “x” number of dollars. Money always changes people and that phrase doesn’t just refer to the person who has the money, it refers to the people who don’t. Money = Riches in our culture and this seems to be synonymous with being better than other people, so if someone comes into a windfall perhaps they want to be that person to show it off; to show to everyone that they are rich. Others, however, would rather not have people know they have money and would prefer to silently donate money. If we’re allowed to be a silent backer in a deal or anonymously give to charity, why can’t a winner of the lottery be anonymous? I’d rath-er know about the generosity of others than the horde of wealth someone is now sitting on, but even then, it’s a free country and we should be able to protect our privacy if that’s what some-one wants to do.

The 18U Vipers competed in Sask Volleyball Provincials on Saturday, April 2, and Sunday, April 3. Here they earned a silver medal in Tier 3.

The girls came out hard against Montmartre, but despite a tough battle were unable to earn the win.

Their next round robin game was against Xtreme Kaos, who were ranked 10th going into the tourna-ment. The ladies put up their best efforts, but were unable to come away with the win.

The Vipers then took on the tough Strasbourg team in crossover action, which left the girls to face the Prince Albert En Fuego in the second cross-over match.

In the game against PA the girls put in a great amount of effort, dig-ging deeply after losing their earlier games in the day. They fought hard and took the match to three sets earn-ing victory over PA.

The next morning the girls found them in the Tier 3 semi-fi nal match against Nipawin CNC. The girls played some of their best ball in this match-up. Passers were making perfect threes, while the setter was putting the ball up nicely for the hit-ters to crush. The girls easily handled CNC, taking the game in two sets.

This put the girls into the Tier 3 gold medal game where they came up against the Northwest Lakers. The girls continued to battle and fi ght for every point. In a toughly fought fi nal

SE Vipers 18U take silver in Tier 3

game the girls took silver. Stepping up this season and throughout Provincials included Katy McEwen who was covering the fl oor and chasing down shanked passes, throwing herself into chairs and boards to put the ball up, while also fi nding success in the front row. Additionally her positive attitude was something unrivaled and she gave 100 percent on the court no matter what. The coaching staff unanimously voted her “Spirit of the Game,” which is an award given to each team’s coaching staff at Provincials to award to one of the players. Honourable mentions for this award went to the libero, Marcedes Singleton, who fell into her position because of a shoulder injury. She’s now met great success as a defensive specialist passing threes (perfect passes) off serve receive and during free balls, while continually hitting the fl oor to put up balls, just to get to her feet and do it all over again. A second honourable mention for the award goes to the team’s captain and main setter, Jordan Johnston, for the efforts she put forth throughout the season. Continually stepping up her game, she fought hard for each

point throughout the season whether covering the fl oor, chasing down a tough pass to put up a sweet set, or taking a swing from the rightside for a kill. For some of the girls this competi-tion marked the end of their season, which was overall good, with tough battles and friends made. For the majority of the team, however, the plan to take them to

Nationals in their 18U year was set in motion and they will be attending it in Calgary, May 17-19. Some of the 15U team will be stepping in to fi ll these positions left by those unable to attend from the 18U team. The girls are all looking forward to the experi-ence which comes with this kind of tournament and possibly taking in a Team Canada game versus Cuba if the schedule allows.

The 18U Vipers earned silver in Tier 3 during the Provincial championship held on May 2-3 in Saskatoon and Warman. Back row: Eugene Brown (Head Coach), Eric Brown (Asst. Coach), Alannah Bryce, Carlie Standingready, Hailey Bachorcik, Teresa Johnston (Manager), Kelly Running (Asst. Coach). Middle row: Jordan Johnston, Kayla Nelson, Shoni Peepeetch.

bserved At Arcola P.A.R.T.Y.and mock crash

A realistic mock collision was held outside Prairie Place on Wednesday, April 29, for students from grades 10 to 12 at Arcola School. Associated with the Prevent Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth (P.A.R.T.Y.) Program the day was meant to introduce students to the risks and the aff ects associated with driving while intoxicated or distracted.

Right: The mock colli-sion involved a cyclist who was hit and killed. Here her friend gives her CPR, while an RCMP offi cer arrives on scene.

Left: RCMP, EMS, and the Carlyle Fire De-partment all attended the mock collision on Wednesday, April 29. Here fi re fi ghters pre-pare the vehicle for the Jaws of Life.

The deceased from the mock collision is taken by the funeral home with the help of RCMP.

The day included various sessions which had EMS, RNs, addiction services, Hall’s Funeral Services, therapies, and RCMP present to the students. While talking about breath analysis an RCMP member asked for a volunteer to demonstrate what to roadside test looks like.

While attending sessions the students were asked during the addictions pre-sentation to get into groups of fi ve. While holding hands they were told to keep the blue balloon in the air (representing the addiction) as white bal-loons (representing family, friends, work, etc…) into the group. They couldn’t use their hands to keep the balloons in the air and agreed how diffi cult it was to juggle the balloons, which represented the challenges related to juggling addictions and life.

Country artist and Kennedy native Eli Barsi celebrated her 30th year in the music business by taking home top honours-as Roots Artist of the Year- at the Saskatchewan Country Music Awards, April 26 in Yorkton. Barsi’s husband, John Cunningham, was also honoured, taking home the trophy in the All Star Band (Specialty) category. “The Saskatchewan Country Music Association is a great organization that works hard to represent the province’s country music artists, musicians, and industry-related people,” says Barsi. “Since moving back to the province a few years ago, my husband and I rejoined the organization and are happy to contribute and take part in as many of the SCMA’s events as possible.” “We were both very honoured and thrilled to be the recipients of a couple of awards this past weekend at the SCMA’s annual event. My husband, John Cunningham, received the award for All Star Band (specialty), and I was blessed to receive the Roots Artist award for the second consecutive year.” Barsi’s career as a singer, songwriter, recording artist-and even yodeler-has culminated in a unique sound that embraces elements of western roots, bluegrass, gospel, and folk. She began performing “When I was three- or four-years-old, learning complete songs for the family.” After leaving college, moving to

Eli Barsi, John Cunningham take home top honours at Saskatchewan Country Music Awards

Country artists and Kennedy native Eli Barsi celebrated her 30th year in the music business earning the award for Roots Artist of the Year at the Saskatchewan Country Music Awards , April 26 in Yorkton. Barsi’s husband, John Cunningham also picked up top honours in the All Star Band (Specialty) category.

Nashville at the age of 20, and after 10 years of playing venues in the U.S. And Canada, Barsi started her recording career as an independent artist, releasing singles to country radio and videos to CMT (Country Music Television). Her bluegrass, gospel, and western roots recordings brought Barsi to the attention of the iconic Sons of the Pioneers, which led her to a 10-year career performing in Branson, Missouri. Now back in Canada, Moosomin-based Barsi says her 30th year as a full-timer in the music business will be a busy one, both promoting and performing music from

her critically-acclaimed album, “Portrait of a Cowgirl” and writing new material for her next album. “My 2015 music schedule has already been very busy with many shows so far south of the border, including Texas, Nevada, Tennessee, Virginia, Colorado, and Oklahoma,” says Barsi. “We look forward to being in Canada a little more this summer with festivals and concerts in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Ontario, B.C., and Manitoba.” “If anyone would like to catch a performance, we welcome them, and my tour schedule is on my website at www.elibarsi.com.”

Nicole Andrew - Letters from Africa

05.05.15

I’ve been waiting to tell you all a story about a little man I’ve fallen in love with since being here. Not

waiting for any specifi c reason really, other than having the right words to say! So here we go..

This little boy’s name is Kelvin. When I fi rst met Kelvin he was standing in Kibera Slum with tears in his eyes, on the brink of spilling down his adorable, full cheeks. He had blood crusted in his nose and down around his mouth, and dried blood staining the collar of his shirt. He was a sad, hurting, broken little man. After his mom was found, she informed us that Kelvin or “kevo” as the kids called him, had been bleeding in his stool for 4 weeks and from his nose for 3 days. This little man was much more sick than we thought.

After discovering this it was discussed that he needed to go to the hospital, to be checked out and treated but last time Jacaranda did something like this, they were left with more medical bills than they knew how to pay, and so were hesitant in this situation. I simply told them to get him to a doctor, and the cost would be covered, as small or large as it might have been and at the time, none of us were too sure! I was simply praying and trusting that whatever would be needed would be provided. They took Kelvin to the hos-pital, did blood work and urine samples to fi gure out how we needed to help this little man. They started him on antibiotics and wanted to see him again in 2 weeks. Two weeks of those meds had stopped the bleeding so they could begin treating the other bugs and illnesses he had but again, wanted to see him in 2 weeks. After each check up, I would give Lilian, who is one of Jacaranda’s medical workers, 1,000 shillings which doesn’t equate to much more than $10 U.S. Dollars and ask her to buy them groceries when she took them home. This made sure that while Kevo was taking medications, he wasn’t taking them on an empty stomach and that Momma Kevo was also eating and could be taking care of Kelvin.

After the second two-week check up, the doctors were so happy to see that he had gained over a kilo and was doing very well on the medication! The doctors spoke English and were able to tell me that him and his mom having food every week was a huge blessing and making a diff erence in not only Kevo’s health but also his moms!

I found out after that appointment that Kelvin’s mom had recently taken her-self to the free clinic and was starting to take her own medication to get herself healthy again as well! That made my heart incredibly happy! After that appoint-ment Kelvin, his mother and I, went to the play park at the hospital and I was overwhelmed, seeing how much the relationship between that little boy and his mother had changed. He was no longer an after thought to her, another mouth that she couldn’t manage to feed. And he wasn’t a sad, hurting baby anymore! There was nothing but smiles and giggles shared between the three of us as Momma Kevo put him on the slide and I waited to catch him at the bottom. It was truly an amazing day.

They said they didn’t wanted to see Kelvin for another month, but when Lilian went to take more groceries to them and to see how he was doing 10 days later, he had taken a turn and had become extremely ill, not able to keep any food down and was lethargic and weak. Once again Lilian was a huge help and took him to the hospital for another check up to fi nd that Kelvin had an amoeba. Now considering his situation in the slum, it’s not all that surprising yet truly heart breaking knowing the progress he had made up to this point, only to be set back.

About 10 days later, after mom and dad had arrived to visit, we were able to goto Kibera to see Kelvin and his mom, see their home and how they were doing! She showed us that she had recently moved into a new place, and it was beauti-ful; cement fl oor and tin roof! I was so happy for her! She also informed us that Kelvin was doing much better, only getting a little bit sick. She had also bought a large thermos and was hoping to somehow fi nd money to buy supplies to make tea and coff ee to sell to workers in the slums now that rainy season had started! I can only try to explain the excitement and hope I felt for this woman and the pride and joy you could see in her eyes! We were able to leave her groceries forthat week, as well as all of $8.00 U.S. dollars in order for her to start her work.How crazy is that?!

At the end of the month, actu-ally, the day mom and dad fl ew home, Kelvin had another appointment. Atthis appointment they informed us that, (like the little fi ghter he is) Kel-vin had pulled through, gained a fewmore kilo’s and was back on track! In fact his progress was so great he doesn’t have another check up for three months! After this appointment, with my heart absolutely sky high due to answered prayers and a tough little fi ghter pulling through this sickness. My point in all of this is not me being in the right place at the right time, or me being a hero and savingthe day for Kelvin and his mom. This is to share with you the fact that these people desire nothing more than to work, to be healthy, and to care for their children and families but can’t do it on their own. I looked at this mother of three children, trying to take care of two younger sisters in school, a sisterwith a 10-month-old baby and a sickmother and baby of her own, not to mention herself being sick! I thoughtabout myself on a day when I have a head ache, wake up with a sore stom-ach or just have a plain old bad day. I wouldn’t have half the motivation that she has to do any of the things she has to do and I sleep on a nice bed, inwarm blankets, with clean clothes and eat three meals a day. I have nothingbut absolute respect for that woman, doing everything she does with not even half the luxuries I have. But allit took, was someone caring enough to love her and her child, to give as little as 10 dollars every 10 days to make sure they had food, and to help her get a leg up in an honourable, safe job, praying for them everyday, and lookhow far they have come as a family.

Today, this little boy was able to go to the same children’s home where his sister is. Where mom can visit both of her babies whenever she wants, the kids are clean, healthy and taken care of and where they are safe from the life in theslums that is dangerous for so many, but especially chuldren. This is what Jacaranda Ministries does. This is what they want to continue to do and want to do more of. But they can’t do it on their own. If you would like to be a part of someone’s story, be a part of truly blessing them and enhancing their future, please consider sponsoring a child through Jacaranda. You may think it’s just for education, but Jacaranda strives to do so much more than pay for “just school fees”. They go above and beyond with every child they come into contactwith, and I ask that you seriously consider partnering with them in this. I promise it will be the most rewarding thing you ever do. ** If you are interested in sponsoring a child feel free to email me anytime at [email protected] Thank you doesn’t seem like enough, but, thank you anyway. Your willingness to help is impacting the world, one child at a time.

The Arcola Opti-mist Club will welcome singer-songwriter and four-time Saskatch-ewan Country Music Award nominee, Chris Henderson-and his band-to the town’s historic Mac Theatre, Friday, June 19, with proceeds going to the continued restoration of the heritage building. Henderson says he is looking forward to performing in a venue that is gathering a repu-tation among musicians for its charm, authen-

Arcola Optimists welcome Chris Henderson Band to historic Mac Theatre June 19ticity, and excellent acoustics. “As for the venue, I haven’t been there yet,” says Henderson. “But good news travels fast in the music industry, and I’ve heard noth-ing but good things. I was talking with both Codie Prevost and Blake Berglund at the SCMA Awards, and they both mentioned it’s a beauti-ful room.” “I’m excited not only to play there, but that there is another venue and community working hard to keep live music alive and well...We could use 50

The Arcola Optimist Club is bringing country recording artist and four-time Saskatchewan Country Music Award nominee, Chris Henderson-and his band-to Arcola’s historic Mac Theatre for a June 19 performance, before the singer-song-writer makes his way west to play at The Calgary Stampede. Proceeds from the show will will go to the continued renovation and restoration of the heritage building.

more groups like (the Arcola Optimist Club) in Western Canada.” Glen Lawson of the Arcola Optimist Club agrees. “Talking to a lot of different groups and artists, they all praise the theatre’s acoustics. Also, artists also say playing our concerts at the Mac isn’t like play-ing at a bar. Instead, people are looking at them playing. The Mac’s a good place for that kind of concert, and it’s a tradition we want to keep going.” “In the past we’ve had the Johner Broth-ers, Blake Berglund,

Codie Prevost play. At our fall concert, we hosted an evening with Nashville-based singer-songwriters Victoria Banks, Phil Barton, and Emily Shackleton.” “We’re really look-ing forward to having Chris and his full band play for our spring concert,” adds Lawson. “With Chris’s show, we’re back to showcas-ing Saskatchewan tal-ent. He’s from the area, his dad’s from the area, and he’s a Saskatchewan Country Music Award nominee.” Henderson-who performs both as a solo act and with his band-says of his upcoming Arcola show: “As for what people can expect with a full band... I’d say it’s defi nitely an engage-ment of the show that I bring to the table, and more than anything else, they bring a great live energy to things.” “I was fortunate enough to have 95 per-cent of my tracks on my most recent album (‘My Turn’) played by Sas-katchewan players and a lot of those guys are in my band today. They are world-class players, and I have no doubt that the audience will be very impressed by what they bring to the table, and what they add to a show.” Lawson says the Optimists are continu-ing to work on the heritage building “from the inside-out.” “Our goal is to preserve the theatre,” he says. “The proceeds from this concert as well as our portion of this year’s (snowmo-bile) rally proceeds will be ploughed back into continuing to upgrade

the theatre.” “We’ve restored the inside, we’ve fi nished the roof, and now we’re going to rehabilitate the front, especially the windows, doors, and the awning. We’re looking at energy-effi cent doors and windows, but we want the theatre to keep the art-deco look.” “It’ll defi nitely be a sympathetic restora-tion,” says Lawson. “We’re not going to change the look of the theatre.” Lawson says that “A show of this calibre would not be possible without our generous local sponsors, and the Optimist Club is grateful for their contributions. We’re expecting a good crowd, so I encourage

people to purchase their tickets in advance. But if they come to the door, we’ll do our very best to get them in.” “It should be a great show, and we’re really looking forward to wel-coming Chris and his band to The Mac.” The Chris Hen-derson Band will be performing Friday, June 19 at The Mac Theatre, Main Street, Arcola. Doors open at 7 p.m. at the show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 and are available by calling Glen at (306)-577-3250 or Blake at (306)-577-9904. Tickets are also available at Arcola Pharmacy and at Chapman & Sons Grocery in Arcola.

The Alida community extends their condolences to Todd Nasea on the passing of his wife Debbie Green-Nasea at Galoway Health Centre, Oxbow on April 19, 2015. Gray and Edel Cowan spent April 27-28 in Regina where they visited with son, Jeff Cowan. Enroot home they stopped at Lajord for a few moments to say hello to Rod Heise, who had lived at Alida from 1977-1982. He sends his greetings to those in Alida who

remembers him.Paul and Marina Poulsen (grandparents) and Ross and ShirleyAnn McKinna (great-grandparents) are proud to welcome a new baby boy to the family. Kasyn, son of John and Pam Poulsen (Leduc, AB), arrived safely on April 28, 2015. Jeanne Lemieux accompanied Teresa and Charity Lemieux to Carlyle on Thursday, April 30 where they attended the fi ddler’s concert. Shelly Cowan and daughter Ainsley spent

a couple of days (May 1-2) in Minot visiting with the Nilsen family and on Sunday, May 3 they visited with Kelsey Rydberg in Estevan. John Cowan (Hillcrest, AB) arrived at the Cowan farm May 3 where he will be visiting with Gray, Edel, Tim and Shelly and helping out with the seeding operation. On Sunday, May 3 there were a number of Alida and area residents who were at Moose Creek Regional Park to participate in the draw for a campsite for the summer camping

season. Hope everyone was able to get one of their favorite sites to enjoy their holidays this summer. Have you heard about the Amazing Bed Race? It’s coming to Alida and it sounds like it will be LOTS of fun, hilarious and of course AMAZING. The Alida Rec. Board is hosting this event and are hoping for a total of six teams (of six) to register. If wanting more info – keep your eye out for ads, posters and/or phone one of the Rec Board members. There was a notice up in the Post Offi ce the other day, reminding one to “Adopt a Pot”. Please HELP to beautify Centre Street in Alida – pick a pot – plant your favorite fl owers

and watch them grow. Of course you are in charge of keeping your pot watered etc. Hope you will be able to help out and make Centre Street a pretty place. Appreciate your help.

It’s Mother’s Day on Sunday (May 10) – Treat Mom and/or Grandma on her special day. The seeding season is well under way now – more so in some area than in others.

A lovely Monday morning—a great way of starting a new week. How many times did you laugh yesterday---a large crowd of people laughed when they attended the “Fiddle History of Canada” in Carlyle—what a great show –a project by Michele Amy and the Cornerstone Theatre—many hours of dedi-cated practising with 54 fi ddlers, 84 props, 360 costumes, 8 musicians in the pit band, 5 actors (a real time to laugh) 9 backstage assistants combined to create quite a spectacle, proud to mention Lane and Colleen Easton, Emily Dubois, Ben Dubois, Tom Richards (Lang-bank and Kennedy) taking part also Yvonne Bertalon’s grandson Jeremy Green of Lamp-man. I would guess the youngest fi ddle players would be 6-8 years of age—joining with every age group until they reach Michele Amy. Congratulations to all of you. Another good weekend of the Kipling Cloggers—Lois Brickley and Terry Berglund are members of this group—they all jour-neyed to Cedar Lodge, Black Strap Lake for the weekend of Sask. Clogging fun weekend—I would presume there was lots of laughter???? April 27th Sue Cummins accompanied her daughter Deb to Weyburn to take in the “Decade of Dance” in Weyburn, when Jayd Hayes took part in this special evening for her. When I was driving out of town on Sunday to attend the afternoon in Carlyle there was lots of activity at the Kennedy Rink where

4H members were busy with their grooming demonstrations—get-ting ready for the 4H days coming and I remarked to my friend Gloria how fortune families have so many opportunities in every kind of sport and enter-tainment they want to be envolved with—Sask. A great place to live. So many volunteers to help the younger genera-tion (of course this has been going on for many years). This news is a little late but worth mention-ing congratulations to Ron and Lori Gardner and their daughter Heather and Jason Baziuk of Regina, Lotus Joy born March 28th. A come and go tea was held at the Kennedy post offi ce on Tuesday afternoon to honor Bonnie Kell on her 30th year at the post offi ce and wishing her a happy retirement as of April 30th. Paul and Edythe Kovach of Kisbey were in Kennedy on Thursday and enjoyed coffee with a number of friends, Edythe mentioned she had been to see Agnes Hourd the day before and help celebrate her 100th birthday, many fond memories of Agnes I have had as she was a neighbor to my parents in the Fletwode district and later in life a neigh-bor to me when I moved to Kennedy—many hours we spent together with other friends play-ing cards and lots of laughter. Another lady I must mention that was also a family friend for years was Marie McMillan, in her later years in Ken-nedy many a quilt we assembled for families and the needy, she cel-

ebrated her 98th birth-day last week. Memories last forever!!!!! Tuesday morning is coffee at the Kennedy Friendship Centre—ev-eryone was pleased to be able to sing Happy Birthday to a very special man residing in Kennedy Joe Barsi celebrating 95 years and still very active, garden-ing, a real pass time for him and he is also a whiz at playing WHIST. Many more years of good health Joe. Recently Jerry and Dorothy Barsi of Regina, Bob, Jackie and Karen Barsi of Stoney Mountain, MB visited with their parents Joe and Esther Barsi. The C.N.I.B. of Re-gina sell calendars and they also have draws for money every month—Yvonne Bertalon was a $100.00 winner this week. Yvonne was also able to take in the event at Carlyle on Friday eve-ning, a good friend Mary Hewson accompanied her. This was Yvonne’s seconded outing since Dec. 23rd, 2014 (she has been either in the hospital or recovering at home). Hopefully she has a better sum-mer. Jason, Cindy and Jeremy Green visited with Yvonne on Sun-day evening after the celebration at Carlyle. Thursday evening the monthly bingo was held at the Friend-ship Center—winners were Marion Hourd, Marlene Penney includ-ing the special bingo donated by (Doreen Cancade) this month, every month a member donates a special prize, Sue Cummins, Gayleen Gurr, Stan Gurr, Lor-raine Fayant. Jennie Wilton, Iola Smyth, Alan O’Callaghan, Alta

O’Callaghan, Marion Yuhasz and Clair Dor-rance won the 50/50 draw. Thanks to Sharon Duffala for calling the bingo games. A special thought for MOTHER’S this week---Adult is reaching out in reverence with one’s whole person in order to give treasurers of the mind;we desig-nate them “knowledge” treasure of the hand;we call them “help” trea-sures of the heart;we whisper them “LOVE ; to all mothers and to mothers no longer with us—may they keep rest-ing in PEACE.
