By Kelly Running Since August of 2009, the town of Stoughton has struggled with a boil water advisory, which has fi nally been lifted with the unveiling of the new Water Treatment Plant. The plant began operating in October, but an offi cial open house was hosted on Friday, Dec. 19, at 1 p.m. for members of the public to have a look and to learn more about the new system. Originally the water treatment plant was more of a small treat-ment room. It has now been expanded to nearly twice its size and has central heat, which is an improvement on the space heater in the old building. The water for the town is taken from three wells east of town and piped into the treatment plant. Here the water is treated with potassium magnate which lowers levels of unwanted minerals in the water. “If you looked inside the cells after the water is treated with that you’d wonder because the water actually looks purple, but the potassium magnate actually lowers iron and manganese levels in the water,” Rod Folk, Town Foreman, explained. It is then run through the fi ltration system. After the water is processed, chlorine is added to it and it is stored in the three storage areas fi rst moving through a 50,000 litre tank to a 150,000 litre tank, and fi nally to a 50,000 litre tank before it is piped into the town. This means the town has a 200,000 litre capacity, which has increased from the 150,000 litre capacity it had been according to Folk. This system is now able to serve a population of about 1,000. Stoughton currently has just below 700 residents while the town is also providing water to businesses including the hotels in town as well. Mayor Bill Knous was very happy to see the completion of the plant, which he says was one of his primary focuses as mayor. “It was one of my major goals when running for mayor,” Mayor

Knous explained. “I’ve been in for two years and we’ve got the plant running, so you’ve got to be happy with that. What a Christmas pres-ent! We’re all happy with it.” “It was that fi rst Christmas I phoned Ed Komarnicki and asked what we could do, he told me to just hang on, and three months later we had a $250,000 grant which really made this happen. With that away we went.” Komarnicki joined the group on Dec. 19 to see the new facility that was made a reality through a joint effort between the town and government.

By Lynne Bell Christmas came early for White Bear First Nations and the surrounding community, as the White Bear Education Complex played host to two Christmas parties for children and young people, while the Four Nations Care Home was the setting for WBFN’s annual Elders’ Dinner. The festivities all included a visits from Santa Claus and began on Friday, Dec. 19 at the White Bear Education Complex with a celebration for the school’s staff and students. The school also hosted a party on Monday, Dec. 22 for children from the wider White Bear community. On Sunday, Dec. 21, members of all generations from White Bear and the surrounding community gathered together at the Four Nations Care Home to honour their elders with a traditional Christmas dinner and celebration. “The events at the school mark the beginning of holidays for the staff and students,” says WBEC school counsellor, Sarah

McArthur. “All of these events bring the entire White Bear First Nations community together.” One of the Elders’ Dinner organizers, Angela McArthur agrees, and says all of the Christmas events “are built on community spirit.” Speaking at the Elders’ Dinner, Angela said, “These traditions would not be possible without the support of our entire community. Our Chief, Brian Standingready, and the White Bear First Nations council have the drive to get these things done. The Bear Claw Casino and the Bear Claw Community Development Corporation contribute funding and volunteers.” This year’s dinner organizers included: Angela McArthur, Stacey Lonethunder, Brenda Standingready, Celina Shepherd, Jolie Lonechild, and Elaine and Serena Maxay. “Elaine and Selina (Maxay) made all of the desserts,” says McArthur. “And the Bear Claw Casino is a huge support.

Christmas comes early to White Bear communityVolunteers from the casino also come out to help.” This year’s casino contingent included George Butson, who is “a super-volunteer,” says McArthur. “He comes out every year and works so hard.” Karla Flett, who attended the dinner with her children and grandchildren says that a gathering where younger generations pay tribute to their elders is a positive thing. “It’s good to have the elders come out,” she says. “I’m here with my grandchildren and it’s really special.” Tw e l v e - y e a r - o l d Harvey Littlechief says, “Our school party was awesome. The Elders’ Dinner is cool, too.” “We have so many extra elves that come and help over the holidays,” adds McArthur. “With our hamper program, people from throughout our entire community-along with people that are just home for the holidays-all pitch in and help. None of this would be possible without friends and family all coming together.”

The elders of White Bear First Nations were honoured by their community at the annual Elders’ Dinner, held Sunday, Dec. 21 at the Four Nations Care Home. The pre-Christmas celebration is “built on community spirit” says Angela McArthur, one of the event’s organizers.

By Lynne Bell Wedding planner Lor-raine Stoddard says parlay-ing her business degree and wedding planning cer-tificate into a bricks and mortar business was “a no-brainer.” Stoddard, who is relo-cating her Kamsack busi-ness, Lolo’s Events and Fashion, to Carlyle in order to be closer to her husband’s job, says “I love fashion. I love weddings. Growing up, I thought I’d follow my father into business. After getting my business degree, I earned my wedding plan-ning certifi cate, and started my business in February of last year.” Stoddard, a native of Zimbabwe, moved to Can-ada in 2006, to further her education, and says that one of the fi rst weddings she put together was her own, to husband Kenneth O’Dell. “We married in March 2013, just after I opened. I did it all and planned it all. The only thing I didn’t do was the food at the recep-tion; the Delta in Regina did that.” “I wanted a winter wonderland wedding. I wanted faux-fur chair cov-ers and I sourced them in China and had them shipped to Canada. I want-ed a bouquet made of crys-tals, and I had to get those from England.” “I am very picky and it had to be perfect,” adds Stoddard. “I understand that that’s how any bride feels.” Another Saskatchewan

The business of brideswedding Stoddard planned and put together, “was one of my favourites. It was huge and was originally set up for 250 people. A week before the wedding, we had to set up for 100 more guests. The couple had special- ordered burgundy satin chair covers well in advance and we had to im-provise and use white chair covers with red sashes for the extra guests, because there wasn’t enough time to get more of the burgundy covers. We set it up in two days and the couple invited us to the wedding and dur-ing the reception, even more guests came in. We made it work and the family was so happy.” “It just looked perfect. It was a rush for us, but we never let it show. I re-ally liked the challenge and thinking on my feet. It really keeps me on my toes.” “That’s real ly the whole point of what I do. I want you to enjoy your wedding. I want people to enjoy it from the engage-ment, right through to get-ting married. My job is to do those things you don’t want to do. You shouldn’t be looking back on the day and thinking about how stressed you were.” Stoddard says whether you’re buying a wedding dress from her, renting a tuxedo or considering what she calls, “full-on wedding planning,” it is helpful to sit down with “a general idea of what you’re looking for and a budget.” “It’s a good idea to sit down and talk,” she says.

“To get a general idea of the styles you want to try on and your price. There are great things in all price ranges, and there’s nothing more disappointing than trying on a dress that isn’t in your budget. Sometimes, I take a couple of extra dresses, just so see how something a bride may not of thought of might look. It’s good to have an open mind, and of-ten, that’s the dress a bride will choose, just because that’s the one that looks great on her.” Some of the lines avail-able through Lolo’s are Alfred Angelo, Mikaella, Tara Keeley and Lazaio. “Mikaella is a very popu-lar Canadian brand,” says Stoddard. “And Tara Keely and Lazaio are created by JLM Couture, a high-end U.S. brand. I’ve already received calls from a few brides in Saskatoon, be-cause I’m carrying JLM Couture.” In addition to all things wedding, Stoddard will carry prom, graduation and special occasion dresses, as well as providing formal wear rentals for men. “Eventually, we want to landscape the farm so it can be a wedding venue or people can have their pictures taken there.” “I want to help people to celebrate and truly enjoy the special days in their lives.” For more information, call Lorraine at (306)-601-9148, email her at [email protected] or check out Lolo’s Events & Fashion on Facebook.

Lorraine Stoddard’s business, Lolo’s Events and Fashion, focuses on wedding wardrobe and planning, as well as providing formal wear for both men and women for special occasions such as proms and graduations. Lolo’s is located on 132 Main St., Carlyle, in The Observer building.

Lorraine Stoddard of Lolo’s Events and Fashion, says: “I want you to enjoy your wedding. I want people to enjoy it from the engagement, right through to getting married. I want to help people truly enjoy the special days in their lives.”

By Kelly Running Christmas concerts are typically hosted by schools but that wasn’t always the case. Oftentimes a commu-nity would come together to put on a performance for everyone to partake in and enjoy. Alida has kept this tradition alive by host-ing “Alida’s Old Fash-ioned Christmas Concert” where youth and adults performed. Held on Friday, Dec. 19, many attended the performance hosted in the Alida hall. The Christmas Choir opened up the night with the singing of “O Canada,” which was followed by a Memorial Candle Light-ing. The candles were lit in memory of loved ones; it was a way to have their loved ones who have passed there for the Christmas con-cert. Performances through-out the evening included singing and both piano and guitar playing as well as Christmas readings. The very talented per-formers had the audience clapping and cheering loud-ly after each performance. They had a brief inter-mission and were treated to cookies and hot chocolate or hot apple cider. Santa, their special guest, made a

Exactly how low oil can go, and for how long it remains at those level levels, will be Saskatchewan’s key political ques-

tion in 2015. Of course, it won’t be the only key political question in 2015. What kind of crop can we expect in 2015? Will we again struggle to get it to port as we did with the grain-handling delays last winter? How deep will government have to dip into its re-serves to pay for additional crop insurance, fl ood or other natural disasters? Will oil losses we suffer be offset by gains in potash sales and royalty taxes? And then there are the more political questions less directly related to the economy: How will Premier Brad Wall’s Saskatchewan Party survives the mounting pressures of seven years in government? Can it address major developing problems like chronic struggles of care home and acute health care staffi ng, especially if there isn’t readily available revenue to bail them out of prob-lems? Will the growth of the past decade, an extra 100,000-plus people, begin to take a toll on roads, and school and hospital infrastructure? If there is an economic slowdown, will it be severe enough to cause the kind of depopulation Saskatchewan witnessed in the late 1980s and 1990s? Will a Sask. Party government that hasn’t exactly faced much adversity in seven prosperous years be up to the challenge of such issues? Or are we already seeing signs of a government more caught up political gamesmanship and ill-prepared for the tough challenges that lie ahead? But no matter how many challenges the Sask. Party faces in 2015, is it any easy for the NDP in what will either be an elec-tion year on one leading up to an election in April 2015? Can anyone take Cam Broten’s NDP seriously? Is his party’s track record in rural Saskatchewan in particular still too damning for New Democrats to win anything other than a few urban seats? Will we see in 2015 some meaningful alternative policies from the NDP, who have been granted the luxury in this period between elections of raising and critiquing government issues without yet being asked to provide options? And perhaps more critically from the NDP perspective: Has the combination of the Wall/Sask. Party government and oil wealth of the past seven years fundamental changed Saskatch-ewan to the point where a majority of voters, for philosophical reasons, no longer see the NDP as a credible governing option?All or any of the above may become fascinating questions in 2015. But whether any or all of them are answered in this coming year really boils down to that one critical question: What will the price of oil do? It isn’t so much that at 12 per cent of all revenue, that oil is the only driving force in the economy. A reduction in revenue, even one as major as the $30 US drop in price that we have seen in recent weeks, is clearly survivable. We have scraped by before, But there does seem to be a general dissatisfaction in today’s new Saskatchewan with “just scraping by”. In fact, the Wall government has built its entire image around the notion that this province is done being a have-not that simply scrapes by.Saskatchewan, we have been repeatedly, told has become an economic leader. Well, while we remain a long ways away from returning to have-not status, current oil at less than $60 US a barrel will make it very diffi cult to balance this year’s budget and next.We will have to tighten our belts, but how much will very much depend on what oil does. Clearly, even the complete collapse of oil prices may not be enough to unseat the Wall government this time around. But what oil prices do may say much about how the Wall government does in 2015.

With 2015 upon us, I thought I’d look at New Year’s

resolutions. Apparently they are a mostly Western practice, though it can be found throughout the Eastern Hemisphere as well. A resolution is usually the act of self-improvement or committing to doing something nice. One of the big resolutions always has to do with working out or losing weight; gym memberships likely take a leap in January I assume. Apparently it’s a practice that has grown since the ancient Babylonians who would make promises to their gods at the beginning of each new year. The Romans would make promises to Janus, the month of January is actually named after this god. During the Medieval age a “peacock vow” was sworn following Christmas recommitting to their chivalrous duties as knights. Ultimately, whichever era of historical signifi cance you look at the main idea was to refl ect on the year past and to look at self improvement to lead a better life. Before university I used to be an avid reader. I always had a book on the go, but attempting to keep up with readings and essays in university sent my reading for fun habit to the wayside. Summers were always for leisurely reading, but these last

couple of years with work I’ve somewhat avoided reading. I’d pick up a book read a couple chapters and then a month later grab it again. I’ve never made a New Year’s resolution before, but have decided that I would like to get back into enjoying reading. My goal actually falls under a popular resolution to improve education, which I’ve always loved knowledge so it makes sense for me to continue pursuing bits of information from wherever I can. I can’t remember what the exact quote was, but it actually came up in relation to volleyball, big surprise coming from me, but I was complaining a little bit about completing a ton of paper work for my level one coaching. I was fi nding it extremely tedious and upon discussing it with Eugene Brown, he said something along the lines of “Always be a student of the game,” and “The best things we can learn is what you can take in after you think you know it all.” So, obviously I stopped complaining about the paperwork and began actively looking for ways it was helping me learn, even the smallest detail you can pick out of something can be immensely important. Thus, I’ve resolved to read more in the New Year. I actually have books I bought seven years ago that I still haven’t read, but they sit there waiting as I slowly accumulate more and more. In fact I think I have about 10 right now sitting around my house that

haven’t even been cracked open. So, deciding that I should get into reading more, someone had lent me a book, “The Art of War.” I had always wanted to read it, having focused on history from China and Russia at school, but fi nally got a chance to. It was extremely interesting and as I read it, I found myself actually applying it to coaching volleyball. A classical work, it applied to life, and after reading it I decided that reading in general and getting through the list of classical works I’ve always wanted to read should be a goal that I don’t wait on meeting. Recently I’ve begun the Divine Comedy by Dante. In school I remember talking a little bit about Dante’s Inferno, which is just a portion of his work which actually includes the rest of the reader’s journey guided by Virgil through Purgatory and Heaven as well. Though I’ve only read a portion of it, I’ve also found it to bring good lessons and reminders about life. About being a good person not consumed by material goods or being prideful. Now, after fi nishing those 10 books laying around my house, I’ll be looking to enjoy “Don Quixote,” “Frankenstein,” “The Count of Monte Cristo,” “David Copperfi eld,” “Moby Dick,” “The Scarlet Letter,” “The Brothers Karamazov,” “The Picture of Dorian Gray,” and so many more, which have become my New Year’s resolution.

Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account. Oscar Wilde I dedicate this column to the memory of my brother Denis and my siblings who used a soap-box to bring in the New Year in the early 1950’s. In melodramatic fashion, though we didn’t know what the word meant at that time, we wept over the year passing and made mock-heroic predictions about the year to come. I borrow much New Year’s wisdom from internet sources, and I invite the reader to enjoy my quest for wisdom in the quotes I will share, like this new-found favourite: A New Year’s resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other. Perhaps wisdom lies in striving daily for perfection: “I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and moulding my life, is too much of a daily event for me.” Anaïs Nin I love this one: “People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the

New Year and Christmas.” Author Unknown Then there are those who spring into the New Year with optimism: An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in; a pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves. And Oprah Winfrey says, “Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right.” Philosophers have a fi eld day about the occasion: “Time has no divisions to mark its passage; there is never a thunder-storm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year. Even when a new century begins it is only we mortals who ring bells and fi re off pistols.” Thomas Mann Some add a deeper thought: “We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives…not looking for fl aws, but for potential.” Ellen Goodman

Gilbert Keith Chesterton said, “The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year; it is that we should have a

new soul.” In the original quote Chesterton added “…a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year’s resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.” Now that is worth pondering! I invite my reader to answer several of the 20 Questions for a New Year’s Eve Refl ection (from The Art of Simple.net): What was the single best thing that happened this past year? What was your biggest personal change from January to December of this past year? And, combining three questions into one: In what ways did you grow emotionally? Spiritually? Physically? What was the single biggest time waster in your life this past year? What was the best way you used your time this past year? What was the biggest thing you learned this past year? I will let Martin Luther ring in the New Year with:

Glory to God in highest heaven,Who unto man His Son hath given;While angels sing with tender mirth,A glad new year to all the earth.

By Linda Wegner It’s all over for another year. Christmas, that is. Accompanied by a sense of mixed relief and sadness, for me the fi rst week in January is busy with the work of packing away decorations and storing what’s left of decadent goodies in the freezer. The list of things-to-do also includes the job of fi tting left-over rolls of wrapping paper into corners where they will be neither obvious nor forgotten. Although the weeks and for some, the months, of preparation that go into making Christmas a highlight of the year are marked by weariness and sometimes,

stress, those thoughts are as quickly packed away as the trapping that go with the season. I tuck a lot of beautiful memories into those plastic bins destined for storage in the basement.Over the past month I’ve explored ideas for choosing gifts as well as thoughts concerning wrapping and unwrapping the presents we’ve chosen to give and the ones we’ve been blessed to receive. Heading into 2015, I’m facing the new year with a much more gentle attitude toward myself and others.Perhaps it’s the aging process or a growing understanding of what God’s love is about but in the midst of the pain

and ugliness of a world seemingly determined to destroy itself, the Prince of Peace still reigns in the heart of those who ask Him to be their Lord. Where any trace of God seems negated by evil, Emmanuel, “God with us”, is reborn within the life of anyone who accepts His request to come in. In other words, the peace and joy of Christmas don’t have to exit with the entrance of another year. “…the eyes of the LORD your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.” (Deut 11:11,12)Happy New Year, His love is watching over you!

Having a new baby in your home requires lots of patience and repetition. One thing that is important is to repeat your baby’s name. • When you are changing a diaper say things such as ‘Good Morning Miss Brigette.’ • When you are feeding them say things such as ‘Big mouthful Charlie May!’ • When you are playing with them say things such as ‘Jackson is such a big boy today!’ Talking and carrying on a conversation with your little one is very impor-tant for their language development. Constant repetition of your child’s name when they are very young will help them learn sounds, become responsive to their names, and develop self-concept. Using different words, and different voice sounds will result in a variety of reactions from your little one. If your voice is loud and booming, your baby may become frightened, but a soft calm voice may result in coos from your little one. Repeating your baby’s name can also help calm him down. If little Jackson is crying fi tfully, calmly and slowly repeat his name while holding or rocking him gently. Hearing your voice and his name may help to sooth his cries. All of these little talking moments you have with your baby will have very positive results later on in life.

Dear Ellen,I heard that Envision Counselling & Support Centre offers Art Therapy. Can you tell me what Art Therapy is and how I can receive this form of support? Art Enthusiast.

Dear Art Enthusiast,Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that utilizes the creative process of making art in order to express one’s thoughts and feelings. Just like other counselling approaches, Art Therapy is used to improve one’s mental and emotional well-being through resolving issues, building self-awareness, managing feelings, and enhancing self-esteem. With art expression’s ca-pacity to uncover what is unable to be expressed through verbal communi-cation, Art Therapy can be extremely benefi cial for anyone. It is important to note that one does not need to be talented or an artist to use the creative arts for healing. It is through the process of art making and exploring the underlying messages communicated through the art that a person fi nds psychological growth. Envision Counselling & Support Centre does not offer Art Therapy pro-gramming per se. However, there is a Counsellor at Envision in Estevan who is trained in Art Therapy and often utilizes this therapeutic approach with clients who have been affected by violence. EllenFor more information about the services we offer, please call the Envi-sion Counselling and Support Centre in Weyburn at 842-8821 or Este-van 637-4004 or call our Abuse/Sexual Assault Line at 1-800-214-7083.

By Lynne Bell The Arcola Optimist Club will once again be holding its biggest-and loudest-annual fundraiser on January 31, as they host the 22nd Annual Snowmobile Rally at Arcola’s Prairie Place Hall. The annual day-long event routinely welcomes hundreds of snowmobile enthusiasts from throughout the province as riders traverse a scenic and challenging 100 km route, competing for hundreds of prizes. “There are millions of dollars worth of snowmobiles out front,” says rally chair, Randy James. “All of the action takes place at Prairie Place Hall and there has been upwards of over 500 riders. The start is a come and go, and there is often so many sleds that it can take up to three hours for them all to show up, sign up, and take off.” Fellow Optimist and club president, Blake Brownridge agrees.“ It’s by far our biggest event. It’s not just an Arcola thing anymore. We get riders and spectators from all over Saskatchewan.” “We’re very grateful for support from the southeast corner of Saskatchewan, too,” adds Brownridge. “The snowmobile rally has benefi tted a lot of local projects, causes, and organizations. This year, we’re doing a lot of work on the theatre (in Arcola).” “We know it’s not feasible for a lot of young families to go to Estevan or Weyburn to see a movie. We’ve never really raised prices. Instead, we want people in this area to use and enjoy the theatre with their families. It’s everybody’s theatre.” “I’d like to give a big ‘thank you’ to all of the communities that come out to the rally,” adds Brownridge. “They get to see the benefi ts fi rsthand.” As rally chair, James says the Arcola Optimists aim to make it a great day out for both snowmobilers and spectators. “The Arcola Fire Department puts on a pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. At 9 a.m. until noon, the riders sign up and take off. We try and get everybody back to Prairie Place before 4 p.m.,” says James. “We’ve got a beer garden and food inside the hall all day for people who’ve come out to watch. We’ll have lots of silent auction items, a raffl e, 50/50 tickets and we’ll be playing sled videos.” “Along the trail itself, we have turnback points, so no one has to do the whole thing if they don’t want to. We’ve also got warming stations along the route with food, drinks and gas, anything a rider might need.” Brownridge says prizes for the event have grown in both quantity and quality since the fi rst rally. “It’s always been our philosophy that we get good prizes into as many hands as possible. This year is no exception, and we have a lot of sponsors and community organizations to thank, as far as prizes and volunteering at the rally itself.” One-this year’s lottery prize- is no exception. The Optimists are currently selling 2,500 tickets at $20 each for a fi rst prize choice of a Polaris 800 Switchback Pro-S snowmobile or a Polaris Scrambler 1000 EPS 4x4 quad or a Polaris RZR 800le EPS side by side. Second and third prizes are $1,000 cash. Rally chair James says the event will go ahead, no matter what the weather holds. “We’ve had a year where we had what seemed like mountains of snow and one year, we had no snow. That year, instead of snowmobiles, we had about 200 people show up with quads.” “Thanks to a lot of our volunteers and other clubs and organizations in town, the event runs pretty well. I really encourage people to come out. It’s one of our bigger events and it’s well-known throughout the province.” “It’s a fun event, a pretty good show and an excellent ride.” For more information, contact Randy James at (306)-575-7833 or Blake Brownridge at (306)-577-9904.

The Arcola Optimist Club is hosting their 22nd Annual Snowmobile Rally on Saturday, Jan. 31. The event attracts hundreds of riders who tackle a scenic and challenging 100 km. trail. According to Rally Chair, Randy James, of the Arcola Optimist Club, “It’s a fun, family event for riders and spectators. It’s a pretty good show and an excellent ride.”

A collection of the best quips and quotes from 2014, July through Decem-ber:• Josh Sens of Golf Maga-zine, during an SI.com discussion about an age limit for the U.S. Open after 11-year-old Lucy Li qualifi ed to compete: “She played respectably and seemed roughly as mature as Bubba Watson.”• Brad Dickson of the Oma-ha World-Herald: “Uru-guay’s Luis Suarez was suspended nine games for biting an opponent in the

Sports Wrap-up with Bruce Penton– The best from 2014 - July to December

World Cup. You thought soccer was becoming popu-lar in the U.S. before; now, it’s got the hockey fans.”• NHL goalie Roberto Lu-ongo on Twitter, after the 8-1 German win over Brazil in the World Cup: “For most of my Twitter followers ask-ing, NO, I was not in goal for Brazil today.”• Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “The government of Qatar is still questioning the need to sell beer at World Cup matches in 2022. Isn’t Qatar in the desert? Yo, vendor, gimme a hot chocolate!”• ESPY’s host Drake, in his opening monologue: “Tonight a man told me that Richard Sherman is the best defensive player he’s ever seen. And that man’s name is Richard Sherman.”• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Free-agent receiver

Arland Bruce is suing the CFL over adverse effects from a 2012 concussion. Trying to get money from the CFL proves he needs his head examined.”• Padres outfielder Jeff Francoeur, to MLB.com, on getting hit on the head by a 99-mph fastball earlier this season while playing for the PCL’s El Paso Chihuahuas: “Ever since, I’ve hit .360, .370. I say he knocked the stupid out of me.”• Comedy writer Alex Kase-berg: “The NFL announced they are placing tracking chips in players’ shoulder pads to measure how far and fast they run in a game. This from the league that still measures fi rst downs with three guys, two sticks and a chain.”• Comedian Argus Ham-ilton, with the latest from Browns training camp: “Yesterday afternoon, John-ny Manziel got blitzed, but then he got up, left the strip club and came straight to practice.”• Randy Turner of the Win-nipeg Free Press, on Twit-ter, in pre-game chat about Bombers-Riders and Sas-katchewan sackmaster John Chick: “ I’m guessing this is one of the few nights of the year that (Bomber QB) Drew Willy doesn’t want to be a Chick magnet.”• Brad Dickson again: “Ac-cording to a new book, Texas was prepared to give Nick Saban $100 million to coach the Longhorns. The governor of Texas has

a salary of about $133,000. Yeah, that sounds about right.”•Sunmedia’s Steve Sim-mons on Twitter, recol-lecting his favourite line from boxing promoter Bob Arum: “Yesterday I was lying but today I am telling the truth.”• Jeff Ritter of SI Golf Group, on whether the PGA Tour should allow its play-ers to wear shorts: “Shorts wouldn’t be any more em-barrassing than John Daly’s pants.”• Comedy writer Alex Kas-eberg: “It is hot. I’m sweat-ing like Donald Sterling trying to start an NBA team in Ferguson, Missouri.”• Headline at AOL.com: “ ‘Johnny Football’ to begin season as ‘Johnny Bench.’ ”• Another one from Dick-son: “A 91-year-old soccer fan left about $636,000 in cash and his house to the Norwegian club FL Fart. I might suggest using $635,000 of that to fi nd a new name.”• Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “The arrival of Johnny Manziel and return of (LeBron) James have made it a wonderful time to be a sports fan in Cleveland. It could only be better if be-ing a sports fan in Cleveland did not entail having to, you know, live in Cleveland.”• Steve Schrader of the Detroit Free Press, about overweight defensive tackle Nick Fairly’s job prospects with the Lions: “You are what you eat. Second help-

ings, second string.”• Former PGA Tour player Dan Halldorson on how he lost 20 pounds while teach-ing golf to juniors in China for three months: “I was us-ing two sticks to eat instead of a shovel.”• Bob Molinaro of the Hampton (Va.) Pilotonline: “It’s not surprising that the Cowboys aren’t worried that having Michael Sam on their practice squad will

create a circus atmosphere. The franchise is always a three-ring circus, with owner Jerry Jones handling the dual roles of ringmaster and featured clown.”• Scott Ostler again: “John-ny Manziel has fi led for his 10th nickname trademark, for Johnny Cleveland. I’m jumping off Johnny Nick-name’s bandwagon if he tries to trademark Johnny Unitas.”

Book Now for Babies of 2014

Ad Cost: $31.50 (taxes included)Deadline: January 5th, 2015 at 3 p.m.This year’s Babies will be in full color!

By Lynne Bell Less than a year after she purchased Carlyle’s popular Sew & Sews fabric store, owner Tanya Robertson will be moving the shop to larger premises at 117 Main Street, to the former 8 Words Cafe Building. “I’ll miss this cozy, more compact space,” says Robertson of the

store’s present location at 102 Souris Avenue. “But the new location is very similar to this one at the front of the store. It also has vaulted ceilings and room to display quilts and space for a classroom in the back. I’m looking forward to hosting classes in the daytime and maybe some weekends. The larger space and the layout of the new location will allow me to do that.” “I’m also looking forward to welcoming more walk-in traffi c with the main street frontage,” she adds. Although Robertson doesn’t have an exact moving date yet, she says it probably won’t be in January. “We’ve got some painting to do and we also will be changing the lighting, which takes time. The building currently has cafe-style lighting, which we need to change, so people can see the supplies they need and the fi nished product in detail.” Describing herself as “a crafter and a quilter” Robertson adds: “I’m looking forward to throwing down a lot of ideas that will grow. I’m considering offering

beginner classes where we offer a take-home project that can be completed within that one class. I’m thinking about a (quilt) block of the month class, and we’ve also had a lot of requests for kids’ classes. We potentially have the space for people to bring in their machines and come in and meet and sew.” “I have a lot of ideas and I’m excited to have the classroom in the back at the new location and I’m hoping Bev (Thompson) will come back to teach some classes.” Regardless of her store’s location, Robertson says one of the most rewarding things about her business is the customers. “A lot of our customers are involved in Pinterest-type crafts and using a lot of what we have in stock,” she says. “We’re the only fabric store within a one-hour radius and I’m a fi rm believer in shopping locally, so we also stock other items, like regalia supplies for pow wows, vinyl, canvas, and even chalk cloth.” “No matter where we’re located in town, I want to provide a service and I hope that people can take advantage of that.”

New home, new year: Carlyle’s Sew & Sews to move to larger location in 2015

Less than a year after purchasing Sew & Sews fabric store in Carlyle, owner Tanya Robertson will be moving the store to a new location. In 2015, Sew & Sew’s new address will be 117 Main Street, Carlyle, in the former 8 Words Cafe building.

Carlyle RCMP year in review

The Carlyle Detach-ment of the RCMP would like to wish everyone all the best in the New Year. Over the past year the detachment has responded

to 3,258 calls for service. This is a slight decrease from the previous year, 3,277 calls. Regrettably there was an increase in fatal accidents from two to four; but, there was a sig-nifi cant decrease in report-able accidents from 171 to 127. Impaired driving com-plaints increased from 140 to 158, and as a result there were 78 individuals charged with alcohol relat-ed offences. There was also an increase in charges laid under several Provincial Statutes from 114 to 159. Traffi c related offenc-es saw a decrease in charg-es from 1,327 to 1,296. Criminal Code matters saw a decrease overall from 241

to 162 reported incidents, with the most signifi cant change noticed in reported complaints of disturbing the peace, a change from 52 complaints to 28. Drug related com-plaints remains fairly con-stant from individual us-age to traffi cking. Violent person of-fences decreased from 257 to 229. In 2013 there were 441 property offence com-plaints and in 2014 there were just 388 calls. We would like to thank the public for report-ing crimes and hope in the New Year the continued relationship between the detachment and the public remains.

By Kelly Running This year, instead of a Christmas concert, Manor School decided to host something for everyone to partake in if interested with a school talent show held on Monday, Dec. 22. The talent show in-cluded performances by students and teachers. Per-formances included sing-ing, dancing, and other fun talents that the amassed crowd of community members, students, and staff enjoyed. All performances

were very well done. Mr. McNaughton and Mr. Bartsch brought a lot of cheering with their singing. They were followed by the Kindergarten, grade one, and grade two group sing-ing a Christmas carol. A fun performance followed, with dancers Aiza, Mackenzie, Haley, and Destiny, having taped glow sticks to themselves looking like glow in the dark skeletons. It was an original idea which was enjoyed by the crowd. A video of this can be found

on The Observer’s website. Another treat was the talents of Vincent who eas-ily passed through the Aus-tralian accent to a Russian accent and fi nally to an Irish accent. Miss Cundall cut her hair for cancer and is mak-ing a $100 donation on be-half of the school to cancer research. A short dramatic scene was performed by Kale, Willy, Devin, Aiden, and Clougin. Cousins Trysten, Am-bria, and Asthyn performed

Manor’s got talent! Manor School hosts talent showa choreographed dance to Timber by Pitbull featuring Ke$ha. Liz and Hannah per-formed a hip hop dance routine, which was very well done and choreo-graphed. This performance can also be found on The Observer’s website. Brooke sang for the audience and she was fol-

lowed by a video edited by a student showcasing quading manoeuvres in fi elds and on ice. More singing fol-lowed with the grades three and four class per-forming, another song by Mr McNaughton and Mr. Bartsch, and a song by the Manor Staff. Two more dancing

numbers were slated with Kara and Haley perform-ing to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer as well as a lyrical performance by Desiree. Overall the Manor community was treated to an afternoon of entertain-ment and were amazed by the numerous talents found in the school.

Mr. McNaughton (left) and Mr. Bartsch performed “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons as part of the Manor School talent show held on Monday, Dec. 29.

The Kindergarten, grade one, and grade twos performed a Christmas song for the audience.

Vincent was up on stage doing various accents and impressions including very accurate Australians, Russian, and Irish accents.

By Kelly Running The White Bear Edu-cation Complex hosted their annual Christmas Concert on Thursday, Dec. 18. The youth had put a lot of work into preparing for the event, while the com-

munity was very receptive as the gym was fi lled with friends and family. Even the White Bear Band Offi ce got into the spirit of the season, open-ing up the Christmas concert with a medley of

songs. Each grade from Kin-dergarten to grade seven performed onstage singing classics such as “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” and more recent favourites

White Bear Christmas concert a hit“Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” from the mov-ie Frozen. The White Bear Dra-ma Group also took to the stage where they per-formed, “Will the Real Santa Stand?” It focused on a Scrooge-like charac-ter who wanted to stop the

Christmas season by kid-napping Santa. Later they let him go, but is chased by those the individual had wronged attempting to stop them from having fun in winter. The Glee Club also came together singing “The Most Wonderful

Day of the Year,” “Jingle Bell Rock” and “Penguin, James Penguin.” It was a fun event for the youth to partake in, while being supported by the community. Though some were shy about be-ing on-stage all did a won-derful job.

The Kindergarten class performed “All I Want for Christmas,” which the audience was enthralled by.

The White Bear Drama group performed “Will the Real Santa Stand?”

Jean Alida Walker Jean was born on the fam-ily farm northeast of Wauchope to John and Daisy Armitage on May 19th, 1927. She passed away peacefully on December 15th, 2014 at the age of 87 years. She received her elementary school education at the McAuley School, studied much of her high school by correspondence, took her Grade 12 at Regina College and earned her B.A. from the Univer-sity of Regina. Jean taught elementary school for 37 years, the last 16 of which were at the school in Fair-light. She and her husband Jim

owned and operated a farm near Parkman. When Jim passed away in 1966 his brother Earl operated the farm for them, with Jean teaching full time. After Earl died, the farm was rented out. Jean moved to Redvers until her move to the Sunrise Villa in Mary- eld. When Jean sold her house in Redvers, she very generously donated

the proceeds to some much-needed renovations for the group home be-longing to the Redvers Activity Centre. She also purchased two lifts for the Activity Centre. She bought equipment for the kindergarten room at the Redvers Elementary School. This classroom is now the Jean Walker classroom. As her health declined, she went to live in Moose Mountain Lodge in Carlyle until her passing. Jean was a loving, sel ess person who was always thinking of oth-ers and their needs before her own. She had a sharp mind and a great sense of humor. She worked very hard her entire life putting her heart and soul into all her ventures. She claimed that she loved to work beside her Dad when she was growing up on the farm. Jean loved children and they loved her. This was very evident in her teaching ability and in her students respect and admiration. As the health of her parents, her brother-in-law, Earl Walker, her sister-in-law Olive Walker declined, Jean again put aside her own needs to care for them. The eldest of nine children, Jean was a surrogate mother to her eight siblings. Jean was predeceased by her husband Jim, her twin daughters Jac-queline and Kathleen, her parents John and Daisy Armitage, her sister Myrna and brother Neill. She leaves to mourn her sisters Doris Ken-nett of Regina, Daisy Buchanan of Saskatoon, Colleen Reed of Keno-see Lake, and Bonnie Saunderson of Ft. St. John, BC; her brothers Jack Armitage of Prince Albert and George Armitage of Saskatoon; her brother-in-law Pete Walker of Oxbow; her sister-in-law Bev Armitage of Saltspring Island, BC. A funeral service was held on Friday, December 19th, 2014 at 2:00 P.M. at Wawota United Church, Wawota, Saskatchewan with Roy Bor-tolotto, of ciating. Interment will be held at a later date. Donations in memory of Jean may be sent to the Sunrise Villa in Mary eld, Moose Mountain Lodge in Carlyle, Walker House in Redvers or the Salvation Army. Please e-mail or sign the online book of condolences at www.carscaddenfuneralchapel.com. Arrangements are in care of G.R. Carscadden Funeral Chapel, Moosomin, Saskatchewan.

By Calvin Daniels As someone who grew up on a farm, and has covered the agriculture sector as a journalist for some 25 years, I have to say I fi nd myself confused over the seeming wavering line between animal welfare and animal rights. On the one hand I completely understand the concerns people have, both with the farm community itself, and the broader realm of general society regarding animal welfare. And I fully appreciate the line of acceptability is a moving one. At one point in time gladiatorial between people was acceptable, slavery was accepted, and ideas such as bull-baiting, cock fi ghting and similar combats between animals were common place. That is no longer the case whether, and whether talking about how we deal with one another, or with animals, the above examples are no longer commonly accepted for good reason. So when I read about a group such as Mercy For Animals looking to change the regulations for transporting livestock, it is appreciated what may have once been acceptable no longer may be. Canada does have a Code of Practice for transporting livestock, but it has not been updated since 1991. Any document which has not been changed in 25 years is likely to be out-dated. If we think back nearly 25-years, there were still many local meat processors, now gone, which means longer hauls today, so that alone would suggest a good look at modernizing the Code be undertaken. But there is always a nagging fear among those

in agriculture that to give an inch in terms of animal welfare will only mean the extremists in the animal rights camp will move the mark and want more. That fear seems warranted. The situation stateside regarding the slaughter of horses is so ridiculous that it has left horses abandoned in the wild because owners don’t want to be feed an animal which is no longer useful for its intended purpose. That is much like having a good brood cow. At some point when she is no longer a good mother cow, she will end up hamburger. Animal rightists might hold an idyllic vision that one day no one eats meat, all animals are set free and

everything is wonderful. But that is a rather over simplistic vision which doesn’t necessarily serve animals very well. Cattle not being raised for milk and meat have little place on a farm, and they would have limited survival instincts in the wild. Chickens would be worse. It is a slim line between opening chicken cages to free hens, and a local population of very fat coyotes and foxes for a time, and no chickens at all. So as we modernize regulations, and evolve what is reasonable in animal husbandry, we also need to remain diligent that the radical fringe does not hijack the process and leave us with regulations lacking in common sense.

Animal welfare and animal rights

The newly introduced family income splitting provision which allows a higher earning spouse to transfer up to $50,000 in taxable income to spouse in a lower income tax bracket (thus providing families with a maximum of $2,000 in tax relief) and other tax-reducing options like a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA), may have you wondering if income-split-ting through contribution to a spousal Registered Retire-ment Savings Plan (RRSP) is still a good strategy. Let’s take a closer look at why a spousal RRSP is a valuable addition to your personal fi nancial plan: • The higher-earn-ing spouse can contribute to a spousal RRSP, but should be aware of attribu-tion rules. If an amount is contributed by the higher earning spouse to a spousal RRSP, the annuitant spouse must wait at least three taxation years after the last contribution before a withdrawal could be made without affecting the tax-able income of the contribu-tor spouse. • If you’re planning a home purchase or if a

Managing Your Money– Spousal RRSPs - still a good strategy

spouse is attending a quali-fi ed educational institution and has lower income, the higher-earning spouse can contribute to both a per-sonal and spousal RRSP up to their available unused RRSP contribution room. This could potentially double the amounts avail-able for withdrawal under the Home Buyer’s Plan (HBP) or Lifelong Learn-ing Plan (LLP). (Currently the HBP withdrawal limit is $25,000 per participant and the LLP withdrawal limit is $20,000 per participant with a $10,000 annual limit.) • If a lower-earning spouse exits the workforce to take a parental leave or an educational leave, he or she can receive a payment from a spousal RRSP. In a year of little or no additional income, that person will pay little or no taxes. • An ind iv idua l who is over age 71 and has available contribution room can make tax –deductible contributions to a spousal RRSP, provided that the contributions are made be-fore the end of the year in which the spouse attains age 71. • If a person dies and

has unused RRSP contribu-tion room, no contribution can be made to the de-ceased’s RRSP. However, a fi nal RRSP contribution that is made to a new or existing spousal RRSP within 60 days following the end of the year of death is deduct-ible on the deceased’s fi nal tax return. A spousal RRSP can be a worthwhile income-splitting strategy, along with other tax planning and retirement savings strate-gies. Ask your professional advisor which ones will

work best for you. This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc. (in Québec – a Finan-cial Services Firm), and Investors Group Securities Inc.
