The community of Kisbey celebrated Her Majesty Queen Elizabeths record-breaking reign with a ceremony and celebratory lunch for over 100 people at the villages recreation centre on Wednesday, Sept. 9. The Queen became the longest reigning monarch in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth on Sept. 9, surpassing the record set by Queen Victoria who ruled from 1837 to 1901. The Queen surpassed her great-great-grandmothers reign of 23,226 days, 16 hours and approximately 30 minutes on Sept. 9 at 5:30 British standard time. Verna Reed of Kisbeys Fern Rebekah Lodge says, The Monarchist League of Canada asked communities if they would like to hold an event to celebrate this occasion. The Village of Kisbey asked the Rebekahs if we would help out and we said Why not?

Were more than thrilled with the turnout today, especially with harvest and everything. Fellow Rebekah and Noble Grand of the Fern Rebekah Lodge, Charlotte Hookenson says, We started planning it in August. Its a community event and were not only happy with the people that have come out from our local area of Kisbey and Arcola. We also have people here from Carlyle, Estevan, Kennedy, Kipling, Manor, Redvers and Stoughton. Shes been my only Queen and I remember her coronation and standing by the agpole growing up. Shes the only Queen many of us have ever known.

Kisbey Mayor Kalvin Nankivell started the ceremony by reading the proclamation from the Village of Kisbey paying tribute to the Queens record-breaking reign. Reeve of Brock No. 64, Paul Cameron said the oath of allegiance to the Queen. During his prayer, Arcola/Kisbey United Church minister, Rev. Koshy David said, Though we are di erent, we are united. We have settled here and we remember the life and contribution of the Queen and her long life and wisdom. Hookenson read the Queens reply to a message sent to her on behalf of the Kisbey community, as well the reply from the o ce of Her Majestys private secretary, stating The Queen has asked me to send her best wishes to you. Guest speaker Ed Komarnicki, Member of Parliament for Souris-Moose Mountain, said, The Queen is that calm, still voice, that anchor in a turbulent world.

Hats o to the community of Kisbey and to the Fern Rebekah Lodge #33 for putting on such a historic occasion. Komarnicki also joked about the number of festive hats in the room and how Irene Doty of Carlyle-who loaned her festive hat collection- made a special e ort to match hats to the colour of each womans out t. I was a little worried theyd make me wear one and match it to my tie, he laughed. But seriously, Kisbey is making some history here with this marvellous celebration. Doty said she was delighted to be a part of the event. I brought 75 hats, she said. And I nd this awesome that such a small group of ladies from the Rebekahs put on something so memorable. Pianist Janelle David agreed. It was a really unique experience and Im so glad I got to be a part of it. Its great to honour the Queen, added Crystal Cutler of Arcola.

Its that time of year again; the annual Flyin High at the Eagle Showdown presented by Eagle Motorsports and Joey Galloway Racing, is entering its 5th year on Saturday, Sept. 26, and is set to bring the thrills once again, while featuring local racers from the southeast. Derrick Big Eagle rst designed and built the race track after selling his herd of bu alo, the land was left open and Big Eagle wanted to create something he and his family could enjoy, which evolved into a place for other local community members to enjoy as well. Big Eagles sons Masen and Jett quickly fell in love with racing and quickly the Big Eagles found themselves involved with a racing community. Thinking bigger, Big Eagle realized that he could bring together this racing community in Manor and create an event of high entertainment value. The event has grown over the

The Prairie Dog Drive-In enjoyed another successful season this summer having held their nal movie on Friday, Sept. 11. The movie which closed the season was the same one to have opened it: Dark Forest. Two members of Zell-Koj Studio of Winnipeg who created and produced the lm attended the Prairie Dogs showing of the movie. One of the producers, David Zellis, who focused on raising the funds for the movie, organizing the shoots, and now marketing the production was around as was Craig Guiboche the movies cinematographer, editor, and post-production of the lm. The Observer had the opportunity to speak with Zellis and Guiboche in how Dark Forest came to be. After having spent numerous years in the lm industry in various forms, four people including Zellis and Guiboche, along with Shelley Anthis (producer and casting director) and Roger Boyer (director) came together to compete in CineCoup a competition to help indie lmmakers develop, market, and produce feature lms. Film trailers that reach the top ve in the competition, they are shown at the Ban Media Festival, while the trailer that receives rst is funded and shown in Cineplex theatres. Although they didnt crack the top ten in CineCoup with their trailer for Dark Forest, they did decide to continue following their dreams and pursue the lm regardless. Out of the approximately one hundred trailers submitted to CineCoup, Dark Forest is one of the only lms to actually come to fruition, other than the winner of the 2013 contest, Wolfcop. It kind of changed as we were making it, Zellis explained. But its a horror lm with a female lead. Roger Boyer the director takes a minimalistic approach, Guiboche said. Horror/slasher lms are usually minimalistic, a killer in the woods doesnt require a large budget. The music and picture was in uenced by John Carpenters style of lms, which includes the famous horror lm, Halloween. The lm score was created by James Hofer, who set the mood accordingly, creating great suspense. The story follows Emily, a young woman in an abusive relationship. She decides to plan a camping trip with her best friends and sneaks away for the

Ray and Francis Boutin happily hosted Craig Guiboche and David Zellis at the Prairie Dog Drive-In. Guiboche and Zellis were part of the Winnipeg team which created and produced, Dark Forest, an independent lm by Zell-Koj Studio. The pair were excited to be watching their lm at a drive-in because Were very grateful for Ray to take a chance on our movie, Zellis added, the drive-in experience is awesome, we grew up in them, and its the perfect place to show our lm because its an 80s style horror lm.

Were very grateful for Ray to take a chance on our movie, Zellis added, the drive-in experience is awesome, we grew up in them, and its the perfect place to show our lm because its an 80s style horror lm. The two explained that Winnipeg has a fairly involved lm industry and a lot of the productions based in Winnipeg are co-productions with larger companies. This is what makes our lm unique; its 100 percent Canadian made, all of the cast and crew are from Winnipeg, Guiboche said. It was lmed near Teulon, MB, and was shot on a $5,000 budget. We did take it to a Los Angeles market/sales distributor who has contacts at theatres, there was interest but it wasnt picked up, so we became the distributors by default, Zellis said. Were doing the work now and trying to spark interest in a distributor, which is why were so appreciative of

people like Ray [Boutin] who take a chance on us. The guys showed up and I admired their persistence and entrepreneurialism, Boutin explained. We opened the summer with it and now weve closed the season. They sought us out and presented us with an opportunity, so we seized it. Its very good, I applaud how well its done, for a $5,000 budget it is very well done. Its not my genre even, but I found it very entertaining and the fact that it is a group of young people, Canadian made following their dreams, youve got to encourage that. Although Zell-Koj Studio is in its infancy, they have further plans surrounding Dark Forest, which are focused on creating DVD and Bluerays, as well as potentially nding a full Canadian release across the country. They plan to further pursue their dreams with a second movie which they are looking to nd funding for called, Frackin Zombies! This movie made it into the top 10 of CineCoup this past year and although didnt win is promising. Guiboche is hopeful they will begin lming next year and be able to release it soon after.

Friday, September 18, 2015

Just over a year ago, a group of friends from Arcola found a typical game of war transformed into a dramatic rescue of one of their own, resulting in six young men receiving Certificates of Com-mendation from the Governor General of Canada for an act of great merit in providing assistance to others in a selfless manner in Arcola, Saskatch-ewan, on September 12, 2014.

Brady Bell, 13, Connor Bryce, 13, Tucker Eaton, 12, Austin Fleck, 13, Jaron Johnston, 12 and Seth Petzel, 12-received the commendation after helping their friend-and Jarons brother, Mason Johnston, 13-emerge safely from an abandoned well he had fallen into.

The boys feat came to the attention of Gov-ernor General David Johnstons office via a letter from the Johnston brothers great-grandmother, Marjorie Askin of Arcola.

We are so proud we just had to do it, she says. And even though Mason didnt receive of-ficial recognition, he kept his head and warned the other boys right away so they wouldnt fall in the well, either.

Marjories husband and the Johnstons great-grandfather, Bud Askin agrees.

Were very proud of all of the boys. Were both so proud and to save Masons life....well, theyre real friends. The way they all acted in that situa-tion-including Mason-makes us so proud of how they are growing up.

On Sept. 12, 2014, the seven friends were ex-ploring and playing a game with their airsoft guns on a farmsite outside of Arcola.

They were playing a game of airsoft wars, says Jaron and Masons mother, Carrie. They were hiding and trying to find each other, kind of like Mantracker.

Mason was wearing a full ghillie suit and eye protection. The suit is designed for hunting and for camouflage. Its pretty heavy and Masons had stuff hanging off it, so it would blend in with the vegeta-tion. He also had a big (airsoft) sniper rifle that he

bought with his own money. He was supposed to be the sniper in their game, so everybody was hiding from him, in old buildings and all around the farm. Nobody was supposed to know where he was.

(Mason) ran behind a tree with the intention of hiding there and he stepped on a rotten piece of wood. It was like a trap door and he fell down about 20 to 30 feet into an old well.

There was water in the bottom, but we were so lucky, because if the weather during previous years had been different, the well could have been 100 to 200 feet deep, depending on precipitation.

There was old brick inside the well, so were

lucky he didnt hit his head. He used his sniper rifle to brace himself and he managed to get his ghillie suit off, because it was heavy and getting wet, too.

The kids couldnt hear him at first, but he as he was yelling to let him know where he was, he also had the presence of mind to warn them that there was a well and told them not to come run-ning, even though he must have still been in a state of shock to find himself 20 or 30 feet down a well that he hadnt even known was there.

Masons friends got a RZR side-by-side with a winch on the front and got the winch down the well. Even though the metal cable was thin, Mason held on with his bare hands, saying: I wasnt let-ting go.

We were in the middle of our war (game), says Tucker Eaton. When we first heard him yell-ing, I thought he was trying to draw us out to shoot us. It went on for a while and I thought This is getting annoying.

We were all in the (abandoned) house, adds Seth Petzel. Me, Jaron, Tucker. We heard scream-ing and we didnt know what it was until we heard (Mason) yelling, Im in the well.

The yard had old buildings. Weve looked around all day before and couldnt find anybody, adds Austin Fleck. Our team was hiding in the barn loft. Connor and Seth found Mason down a well screaming.

We came down and saw Mason in the well and were all searching for ideas. And then we remem-bered the winch on the RZR. Austin drove it and I ran the winch, says Brady Bell.

We dropped the winch down, says Connor Bryce. Jaron grabbed ahold of it and me and Aus-tin held him by his arms...

We were surprised; it just happened so quick, says Brady Bell. It might have only taken 10 min-utes, but its really hard to tell. We werent really focusing on the time; we were just trying to get him out of the well.

We took him to Austins house, says Jaron Johnston. It was the closest place and he got wrapped up in a blanket. But he was mad about losing his gun down the well.

Mason Johnston says he is grateful to his friends and recounts his own admirable calm under pressure.

Im glad they got me out, he says. When I left to hide behind that tree, I hit an old piece of plywood and it must have only been about 10 sec-onds until I fell down.

I could feel the water come up, so I rested my back against the wall and my feet on the other side. I knew I had to get my ghillie suit off, because it was heavy and it was starting to get wet.

I started yelling for help; but I also warned them about the well. I didnt want any of the other guys to fall in, too.

Im proud of everything all of the boys did, including Mason, says Jaron and Masons father, Jeremy Johnston. Theyre good learners. They can think on the spot.

Hes a survivor, says Masons mother, Carrie. Im so grateful for so many things: that he didnt hit his head, that he was able to stay calm under such pressure, that the boys heard him and that hes okay.

Although life has returned to normal for the boys, Carrie says: Its still with (Mason). Its still with all of us. Its upsetting to think about what could have happened. We went back just to see it again and Jeremy and I took a load of gravel and filled in the well.

These boys were already good friends and this has just made that friendship stronger, she adds. I know Mason would have done the same thing for anyone. They all would.

Im proud of them all, says Bud Askin. They catch on to a lot of things, just by observing and this proves it.

Theyre friends, really good friends. And theyre good people, too.

Forgets Happy Nun Cafe set the scene for the latest SaskScapes podcast taping, Friday, Sept. 11. The host of SaskScapes, Saskatoon broadcaster, Kevin Power, says, The world is listening to Saskatchewans stories. Our podcast is an hour-long radio program. You can listen to it whenever or wherever you want online-your phone, your iPad, your iPod or your computer. Weve got 58 episodes so far and over 15,000 listeners. Our audience is global-in addition to Canada and the U.S., weve got listeners from France, the Netherlands, Mauritius and Kenya. I really like the idea of a story slam, adds Power. People just get up on a stage and tell a ve to 10 minute story about themselves. Once I saw the Nun, it knew it was a natural setting for our podcast. I only found out about this place about six weeks ago, says Power. SaskCulture had a meeting here and I thought I have to come back here. Its a fantastic place and its got a top-notch menu. It really is impressive. A native of Nova Scotia, Power-also an actor and singer-has appeared in the Canadian productions of Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera; as well as CBCs The Border. I appeared in the rst season of Suits, but I died, he laughs. Now my job is to go out and meet people and tell their stories, he says. Ive talked to people from ages six to 102. People are often reluctant at rst, but I spend hours editing and I promise, Ill make you sound like a million bucks. Power began the broadcast with a few stories of his own-one of which was an account of the challenges of growing up gay in small-town Nova Scotia; along with a story of his encounter with an empathetic teacher who literally saved my life, complete with a heartwarming twist. Teacher Joan Bue of Carlyle gave an empathetic reading of the poem, The First Day of School, by my favourite poet, Canadian Sheree Fitch. Bues husband, Shannon Klatt, spoke from the heart with a tale of daring to be di erent that intersected the worlds of theatre and romantic love, telling the audience: Dont be afraid to go out and do things. You never know how its going to go. If I hadnt done something di erent, I never would have met my wife. Kierra McMillen of Bellegarde celebrated her birthday with the story of a similarily destiny-altering meeting, as she recounted the story of seeking-and nding-her biological father. I feel euphoric and I was so happy to share my story about nding my biological father, she said.

Forgets Happy Nun Cafe hosts SaskScapes podcastAnd I know he will get a kick out of it. A set of conversation cards at his table inspired Joel Mryglod of Carlyle to share the story of his engagement to his wife, Katie. The story of the pairs engagement proved to be a touching and funny tale of a proposal in a secluded spot that was almost derailed by a family of seven and was captured forever in photographs. However, this SaskStories taping also captured stories of lifes challenges. Bonnitta Whitrow of Weyburn recalled a hospital stay in 2007, when as a 22-year-old, she was bedridden with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Instead of dwelling on her illness and its frightening e ects, Whitrow inspired the audience with her journey to regain her health and led an impromptu session of laughter yoga, adding: Laugh-even if its fake, youre body doesnt know the di erence. Powers SaskCulture colleague, Damon Badger-Heit came to the Friday night taping with his young family. Appropriately, he spoke about the joys and challenges of fatherhood and his concern for a friend and fellow father who was struggling. Nun sta er Jillian Vinge paid tribute to the life of her late grandfather, Glenn Vinge, Our papa, by reading his eulogy, complete with wisdom and humour from Weyburns co ee row and the importance of family, friends and a reminder to appreciate every moment of lifes changes and challenges. Souris-Cannington federal NDP candidate Vicky ODell took a night o from the campaign trail to attend the taping and said, This is a great evening. It was also great to hear peoples stories and to celebrate such a personal, intimate evening with such superb food. I had no idea what kind of evening this would be. But ultimately, I would describe it as hopeful. Joel Mryglod summed up his experience this way: Everytime I come here, I taste the food but I also taste the love and the warmth and the enjoyment. Were so lucky to have a place like The Happy Nun to come to.

Saskatoon broadcaster Kevin Power taped an episode of his SaskScapes podcast at podcast Forgets Happy Nun Cafe on Friday, Sept. 11. Powers show has taped 58 episodes and has amassed 15,000 listeners from throughout Canada and the U.S., France, Kenya, Mauritius, and the Netherlands. The world is listening to Saskatchewans stories, says Power. And The Happy Nun is a great venue for this broadcast.

@CarlyleObserver

The woman was clearly irri-tated as she carried the stadium concession food to her awaiting family complaining loudly, I cant believe I had to wait 20 minutes for french fries, and tossed the food on the table. Whenever I see something like this I am reminded of a Roma-nian social worker who, when her children were little, joined a long line-up very early in the morning hoping to purchase candy for a rare treat at Christ-

mas, only to discover the supply ran out before the line-up did.

Or the account of a man in a refugee camp who talked about the days when the aid trucks arrived at the temporary camp where he and his family had been living. He made sure to tuck a sharpened blade in his clothes because he knew he might have to ght o someone attempting to steal the food before he made it back to his tent.

Hundreds of thousands of peopleno, lets be honestmillions of people around the world share the same story. The lack of resources, the loss of security and the daily struggle is the same--and it is in sharp contrast to what many of us know to be our reality.

Weve been challenged by the images of the people desperate to ee Syria and nd a place they feel safeand welcome. Its been described as the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time. Lets not forget though, that it is not just Syrian refugees that are homeless, hungry and in need of hope. Afghani-stan, Somalia, Iraq, Sudan, Vietnam, Burundi, Ethiopia, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Congo, and many more nations ll out the lengthy list of countries from which refugees have been eeing. Weve been in a humanitarian crisis for a long, long time.

Refugees are protected by international law and they have the right not to be expelled, the right not to be punished for illegal entry into the terri-tory, the right to work, the right to housing, the right to education, the right to public relief and as-sistance, the right to freedom of religion, the right

to access the courts, the right to freedom of move-ment within the territory, and the right to be issued identity and travel documents. Its pretty easy to declare that this or that country should be doing more to help, or to jump to the support of o cials who make announcements that appeal to our sense of what feels right in the short term. But we need to be clear on what the objectives are and what is the best and most helpful way to proceed.

Contrary to media opinion, this problem has not been ignored. There are many organizationsmany that have been hard at work in points all around the globe working in refugee camps, estab-lishing resettlement programs, increasing access to health care and education and providing everything from blankets to bottles where they are needed. This isnt something thats jumped on their radar because of a campaign. They have been there for years--decades--diligently doing what was needed in the face of a humanitarian crisis; and limited only by the resources provided by people like you and me. Their tireless work may have been occur-ring outside the view of the TV camera but make no mistake, it has been occurring.

Two women are waiting. Waiting in two very di erent lines. They are mothers. Both need to feed their families. One waits impatiently because the concession cant keep up with the demand for french fries. The other waits nervously as she clings to the hope of what might be at the end of the line. The longer the rst woman waits the more indig-nant she becomes. The longer the second waits the more worried she is that the aid truck will run out of food.

While we look for long-term, sustainable solu-tions, there are ways we can turn out intention into action. We can help fund the organizations that are equipped to provide emergency aid under these circumstances. Regrettably, they have plenty of ex-perience.They were there long before the photogra-phers lens arrived and they will remain there long after it has left. Regardless of our personal take on the situation, our political leanings, or our religious beliefs, our e orts to assist them epitomizes the best of boots on the ground.

Thats my outlook.

Ok, Ive gone there, Im talking about religion Its not something I usually like to write about but the other day I was speaking with a minister from a neighbouring town and he asked me why younger people dont go to church. I answered, I dont know. He asked me to think on it and this is what I came up with. As always this is just my opinion and youre welcome to agree or disagree with me, I dont

mean to o end anyone, I just happen to have a medium where I get to voice my thoughts.

I personally havent been to church in about a year and a half. Life can get very busy though. The minister and congregation were extremely welcom-ing and Ill forever be grateful to everyone at the United Church for the big smiles each Sunday when I rst came to Carlyle. Its tough moving to a new community and they were a bright light in a dif- cult spot. I didnt know anyone and they made me feel like I could nd a place here.

However, as Ive found a place in the commu-nity, I nd myself attending church less because coaching, playing in ladies tournaments, and work often takes up time on Sundays. I should make it more of a priority because I like going, its di -cult to describe but it makes me feel lighter. I just havent made the time.

Im sure for many people this is the case. They simply dont make church a priority because theyre living hectic lives and the idea of Sunday being a day of rest is lost on the modern world.

As I sat thinking about why my generation and those younger than me dont typically go to church, I realized that the ways religion is portrayed today means that many people dont agree with what they think is being taught.

One of the biggest religion stories currently in the news is about a woman in the States who refused to issue marriage licences to same-sex couples. She then cited scripture and said that she couldnt issue marriage licences to certain people because it con icts with Gods word essentially.

Although many people rallied behind her, I saw her actions in a di erent light. Firstly, at its core the central theme of religion is love. Secondly, if she were worried about the sanctity of marriage, she shouldnt issue marriage licences to anyone who has ever been divorced. And nally, marriage is no longer just associated with religion. If you can be married by a Justice of the Peace, then marriage to-day is more about the State and essentially ties two people together for legal purposes. For those that are religious, it still involves God, but to me she has a double standard if she is issuing marriage licences to atheists then and not to same-sex couples. At the end of the day it is a civil job the woman holds and marriage licences go to anyone eligible by law.

In fact, if shes that intent upon holding up the Bible, one of the Ten Commandments is that we keep Sunday open for a day of worship so if I were to go to her for a marriage licence she should deny me.

Personally Im always thankful the United Church is quite progressive; in 2009 they stated they welcome people of all gender identities and in 2010 the rst openly transgender minister was or-dained. No big deal. Love thy neighbour. If it wasnt progressive I dont think Id welcome religion.

Nobody is perfect and to me church is a re-minder of that. We are all struggling in life. Reli-gion simply encourages us to be loving and for-giving, we have no right to judge another person, thats Gods job.

Im finding that Lynne and I like to call truces on occasion as we focus on things we agree on in the world or that actually involves our own thoughts and feelings, because when we write pros and cons, we agree on the topic a lot and simply try to present both sides of the argument.

The other week Lynne came up to me and asked, Were you born when Terry Fox ran? She followed that up with, a probably not.

And, no, I wasnt, but Ive participated in the Terry Fox Run when I was in school for numerous years and having covered events for the paper in the area think I know a little bit about his legacy at least.

Lynne thought an interesting topic might be the different ways we see the run or have participated in it then, because my genera-tion is somewhat removed from his actual run although we are affected by his legacy.

He is a great Canadian and his legacy is long lasting, this is what I know, whereas Lynne can remember the headlines in the news about him and can remember his efforts as being part of her Canada, not just a legacy.

This to me is interesting in itself, how something that is happening today has po-tential to become a legacy and remembered 35 years down the road much like Terry Foxs efforts.

I throw out the number 35 because that is how many years the Terry Fox Run has been happening; it was in 1980 that Terry made history with his Marathon of Hope.

Terry had thought he had beat cancer and was determined to raise money for research and to help others with the disease. Addition-ally, he wanted to change peoples mentalities surrounding disabilities, there were no limits.

Terry ran through pain at first, but when he was about 20 miles from Thunder Bay, the pain became too much for him, he couldnt run through it anymore, and asked his friend to take him to the hospital.

Cancer, what he thought he had beaten when doctors amputated his leg, had spread to his lungs. He vowed to fight this too and he told people, I dont think this is unfair. Thats the thing about cancer. Im not the only one. It happens all the time, to other people. Im not special. This just intensifies what I did. It gives it more meaning. Itll inspire more people. I could have sat on my rear end, I could have forgotten what Id seen in the hospital, but I didnt.

The young man passed away one month before his 23 birthday and in his memory as well as for loved ones fighting cancer, over 300,000 people took part in the first ever Terry Fox Run.

It was his story we were told throughout school and it was something that struck home for me at a young age as my opa passed away from cancer when I was in elementary school. The fact that nearly everyone knows someone who is fighting cancer or who has fought it, means that it affects a staggering number of people and is why his legacy, what he inspired in people, has remained 35 years later.

His legacy is timeless. Thats one of the things Canadian singer-songwriter Jann Arden has to say about Terry Fox.

This year, the 35th annual edition of the Terry Fox run will take place throughout Canada and in countries throughout the world. Not only is Terry Foxs reach global; it also spans generations and my dear editor and I are living proof.

Often, Kelly and I are scratching our heads to come up with topics for this column-not because there arent things to write about-but often because we tend to share a lot of the same opinions.

Which brings me to this week....Do we disagree on anything regarding Canadian hero Terry Fox, his mission, or his legacy? Of course not! But we do see things differently (coin-cidentally, the name of this weekly feature), so we found a most deserving loophole-and a meaningful topic-for this weeks column.

Terry Fox was only 18-years-old when he was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma-more commonly known as bone cancer. As a result, this promising athlete had to have his right leg amputated 15 centimetres (six inches) above the knee.

In 1977, while in hospital, he was: so over-come by the suffering of other cancer patients, many of them young children, that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research.

Terry started what became the Marathon of Hope in St. Johns, Newfoundland on April 12, 1980, with little fanfare. However, momen-tum grew and he soon became a familiar and beloved figure to Canadians as his punishing daily 42km/26 mile run continued through the Maritimes, Quebec and Ontario. When he was

forced to stop running on September 1, 1980 when cancer reappeared in his lungs, most of us wept.

And when this astonishingly determined and courageous young man lost his battle with cancer on June 28, 1981 at the age of 22, we wept then, too.

People of Kellys generation are no less affected or moved by Terry Foxs story. They grew up with his story at home or in school and can easily witness what some of us saw on TV news over three decades ago via the Inter-net.

However, Kelly and I both agree that no matter how you experienced Terrys story, Jann Arden is right: His legacy is timeless.

In a world where the word hero is over-used, Terry Fox is the real deal. And thats one of the reaons that after 35 years, the Marathon of Hope is still going strong, as Canadians of all generations and walks of life vow to finish the walk for Terry.

The other, sadder reason, is that although progress has been made and continues to be made-too many of us-whatever our ages-have experienced cancer.

Although the very first Marathon of Hope was cut short after 143 days and 5,373 km/3,339 miles, Terry Foxs legacy took on a life of its own.

To date, over $650 million has been raised for cancer research through the Marathon of Hope. This year, the Terry Fox Foundation aims to raise one dollar for every Canadian.

I think we can do this. So does Kelly. And thats one thing we dont see differently.

To be glad of life, because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.

For 19 years an annual tradition has grown as the Golf Kenosee 55+ Tournament has become a mainstay. A group of gentlemen, including Dennis Gustafson and Roy Arndt, began the tradition. The Observer happened upon them during their game. Its great, Arndt said. Its well known around the country. Were central here, so people come from Estevan, Esterhazy, Manitoba, from all around. We have a beautiful course here and a highlight every year is the roast beef supper and that theres always prizes for everyone. Three years ago, Maxine Armstrong took over organization of the event. There are 148 golfers this year, Armstrong said, which is a substantial number of golfers. We usually get the posters out in May and June, and the out of towners always seem to be rst to get their name in. Arndt added, Next years tournament will pretty much ll with people today who want to come back again. Armstrong says that each year they receive terri c support from businesses in Weyburn, Estevan, and those in and around Kenosee Lake. Everyone is very generous, she stated. Thats one of our main drawing cards, is that they get a prize and they havent even golfed yet. Everyone gets one in the morning when they pick up their packages. Flight prizes and door prizes are also very popular amongst those participating in the tournament. During supper this year, a small silent auction was hosted with a signed Roughrider jersey and a Roughrider print available. The organizational committee of the tournament will decide which organization to donate this money to at their next meeting.Results Womens Championship

Sports Wrap-up with Bruce Penton

It worked for Warren Moon. It worked for Joe Theismann. It worked for Doug Flutie. Hey, Tim Tebow, it could work for you, too.Tebow, a college star of great renown at University of Florida, wants to play quarterback in the National Football League but keeps getting rejected. He was drafted by the Denver Broncos, where he had a brief ( ve or six games) spell of success, traded to New York Jets, given a tryout by the New England Patriots and, this fall, was invited to the training camp of the Philadelphia Eagles. But after a pretty good pre-season game under coach Chip Kelly that left many observers thinking he would stick around as the Eagles third quarterback, he was cast adrift again. Back to TV land for Tebow, 28, who had been developing a career as a football analyst for ESPN but whose desire to play quarterback in the NFL regularly leads him to discard his TV dreams.So if Tebow cant play quarterback in the NFL but still harbours a deep desire to do so, whats he to do? Head north, young man, head north.

Moon was a college quarterback star whom the NFL wizards ignored. Moon joined the Edmonton Eskimos, where he starred for six seasons, winning Grey Cups, outstanding-player awards and suddenly, attention from the NFL, which nally saw the error of its ways. Moon signed with Houston Oilers and became an NFL all-star and eventual Hall of Famer. Ditto for Flutie, whose lack of size relegated him to the NFLs sidelines before he proved his worth as a star for eight seasons with Toronto Argonauts and Calgary Stampeders of the CFL. Flutie, too, returned to the NFL and enjoyed a modicum of success, although nowhere near the level achieved by Moon. Theismann, too, was deemed too small for the NFL, so he gathered his helmet and cleats and headed to Toronto, where he was so dominant the Washington Redskins quickly signed him after three seasons in Argoland. Tebow should be next. The CFL probably wont be able to pay him close to what hes making on ESPN, but he already has enough money to life comfortably for the rest of his life. If its sports grati cation he wants, and quarterbacking in the NFL is the avenue to that grati cation, he must

make at least a two- or three-year detour to the CFL. Get your passport, Tim.

Seth Meyers of NBCs Late Night: Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said that hes not sure who hell vote for, but he loves Donald Trump. I guess Brady just loves anything that releases air. Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: The Minnesota Vikings led the NFL with 18 arrests in the past ve years, with the Denver Broncos No. 2. I believe this means crime is caused by cold weather. Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: A Dunkin Donuts in Maine has o ered Richard Berman, the judge in the Tom Brady case, free co ee for life. If he accepts it, of course, thats grounds for appeal.Norman Chad of the Washington Post, on Tampa Bay rookie quarterback Jameis Winston: NFL will be so much easier for Winston than college was. At Florida State, he had to worry about class load, inappropriate conduct toward females, shoplifting exit routes and handcu etiquette. With the Buccaneers, he will be able to just concentrate on game lm. Another one from Perry: Two Kansas City Royals Kelvin Herrera and Alex Rios are sidelined with chickenpox. But not any Atlanta Braves. They cant catch much of anything these days. RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: Roberta Vinci ended the hopes of Serena Williams for a calendar Grand Slam in a three-set upset. I guess Serena isnt in-Vinci-able. Currie again: Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly paid $25,000 for a wax gure of himself. Big deal, say the Redskins. We bought RGIII a $21-million bust. Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: Tom Brady said he has a great amount of respect for Roger Goodell. I think I like I didnt know anything about de ated footballs better. Dickson again, on the Steelers headsets going on the blink during their NFL opener at New England: The Patriots have an alibi. At the time the headsets began acting up, they were busy letting the air out of the Pittsburgh team bus tires.

CFL could be Tebows salvation

This season ended at the 14:23 mark of the second quarter of the Saskatchewan Roughriders Week 1 home game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Thats when, with 0:37 seconds left in the rst half, star quarterback Darian Durant went down with what would later be learned was a season-ending rupture of his left Achilles tendon.If I had to guess the time, it would have been roughly 7:37 pm MT.Poof. No matter that the Riders were trailing the Bombers 15-14 at the time. If healthy, Durant wouldve led the Riders back to victory. Of that, I have no doubt. Over his 10 seasons here, Durant has just about always led the Roughriders to thrilling comeback victories. Those were the days.But Durants season was over at that point and in retrospect, so too was his entire teams.Fast forward to now and the Durant-less Roughriders are 1-10 and facing a considerable conundrum with seven games left in the regular season. Theyve already gone through a massive upheaval in the form of the rings of head coach Corey Chamblin and GM Brendan Taman two Mondays ago and no ones certain now what the future will bring. The 2014 season went down the tubes in Week 10 last year when Durant was felled by a season-ending right arm injury but we were assured steps were taken in the o -season to ensure the team would be better prepared if the unthinkable were to happen again. And then it did. And the good ship Rider sunk again. Cue the rings. Its sad that the Riders margin for error was beyond razor thin for each game theyd face in the second half of this season but thats the hand they were dealt. Just one loss after Labour Day meant this team would be faced with Next Year Country and now thats where they sit. Saturdays 22-7 loss to the Blue Bombers in Winnipegs Banjo Bowl was the chilling dagger. However its not that the team isnt worth following any longer. The course ahead is a curious one as the new braintrust of GM Jeremy ODay and head coach Bob Dyce - both interim replacements need to sort out the desire to collect as many wins as possible versus auditioning talent for next

years team.2-16 looks better than 1-17, 3-15 looks better than 2-16, and so on and so on. All the while management needs to keep an eye on the bursting salary cap and manage costs in every area. We talk about everything we do, we do for us, Bob Dyce explained on 620 CKRMs postgame show Saturday night. We stay together and stay strong for each other. You never really know whats going to happen in the future. You have to take one play at a time, one day at a time, and get better with each opportunity. The trouble with that is whats best for individual players may not be whats best for the collective outlook of the franchise. For instance, whats best for quarterback Kevin Glenn is to play. The 36-year old veteran is due to come o the 6-game Injured List this week after having recovered from a torn pectoral muscle. However whats best for rookie quarterback Brett Smith, whos started the past six games, is to keep taking snaps. And the unspoken elephant in the room is whats going to happen with Durant once he heals from the Achilles rupture in time for the 2016 season? No one will say it, but many wonder if Durant will be at peak form both physically and mentally when he returns. Hes been dealt with two viciously devastating injuries and the toll on his psyche may be far greater than what his bodys been through. I think at this point, most everyone can see the problems of this team run far deeper than the injury to Durant. The Eskimos, Blue Bombers and Alouettes have all seen their starting pivots go down but theyve managed to win games and remain in the post-season race. Not so for the once mighty Roughriders. And as far as the other players go, theyll need to nd some sort of motivation to play their best for the remaining games. Its a brand new, albeit distasteful, experience for each one of them. Were gonna continue to ght and battle and if you want to be a part of the solution, you have to play well now, observed veteran receiver Rob Bagg. Well play until were statistically out of it. You might as well do it right if youre going to do it. Unfortunately, its gotten to be too late.

Riders will be playing for pride for remainder of

2015 season

The campground was in need of major upgrades and was shut down by public health approximately a year and a half ago.

The community gathering ended at 8:30 p.m., which was followed by councils regular meeting.Waterworks report Shaun Galger presented the water report. It was found that a manganese test should be done, a water metre recording the amount of water going out from the plant needs to be installed to keep track of water records more completely, and as the months become colder the wells will be checked by Galger daily to prevent any freezing. Council would also like Galger to x the ozone monitor, which isnt working properly.Concerns A concerned individual spoke about oversized trucks parking at a residence.
