Snowmobilers weren’t the only people who enjoyed the event. From the early morning pancake breakfast until the fi nale, Prairie Place Hall hosted hundreds, many of whom held tickets for the draw of 65 prizes. “This year, we sold out of our (2,500) tickets on the sleds,” said Optimist Club president, Blake Brownridge. “We sold tickets from Vancouver Island to Nova Scotia.” The winner of the grand prize draw was Kevin Freitag of Arcola, who claimed a Polaris side by side as his prize. As holder of the winning ticket, Freitag could choose between a Polaris 800 Switchback Pro-S snowmobile, a Polaris Scrambler 1000EPS 4X4 quad, or a Polaris RZR 8001e EPS side by side. The winner of a covered trailer was Damon Sutherland of Lampman, while Paul Coombs of Carlyle and Jordan Carter of Toronto each won $1,000. However, the rally’s perennial winners are always the community organizations that the Optimists support, according to Brownridge. “In the over 20 years we’ve been doing this, we’ve contributed close to $850,000 to community projects,” Brownridge told the crowd. “That’s pretty cool.”

By Lynne BellThe South East Cornerstone Board of Education
held a community consultation session at Carlyle Elementary School Jan. 29, as part of the Cornerstone Tomorrow initiative.
The community meeting was one of several held throughout the school district and was designed to gather input from communities which can be used in future planning by the school division.
Twelve attendees including school staff members, parents, and interested citizens from Arcola, Carlyle, and Manor participated in the two-hour session, and identifi ed successes, challenges, and priorities within their schools.
In an effort to allow participants to express their opinions “freely and frankly”, the event was led by private consultants, Lorainne Thompson and Craig Melvin.
During a brief introduction followed by a power point presentation, Deputy Director of Education, Kelly Hilkewich stated that the province’s four-year plan would focus on enhanced early learning, math skills, and increasing high school graduation rates within Saskatchewan, adding that the South East Cornerstone Public Division’s grade 12 graduation rate exceeded the provincial average.
Regarding reading, Hilkewich said, “We have early learning consultants that work with families right now from birth to help them transition so they are better prepared for school.”
“There are still a lot of kids not coming in phonetically ready for reading. But we’re getting better each year,” he added.
“The goal is for three-year (grade 12) graduation rates to be 90 percent by 2017,” added Hilkewich, citing the importance of strong literacy and math skills for students in order to achieve this outcome.
After Hilkewich’s departure, the twelve participants were randomly divided into three groups of four, and asked to consider what schools are doing well and how the school district could improve its programming for students, in addition to identifying challenges that needed to be addressed and prioritizing solutions to these
Members of the Arcola, Carlyle and Manor school communities participated in a two-hour community consultation session on Jan. 29 at Carlyle Elementary School. The public meeting was one of several held within the South East Cornerstone Public School Division to gather community input to be used in future planning by the school division.

challenges for the school division. Generally, the groups were impressed with school staff and the involvement of their communities. Many of the challenges they cited were universal, such as bullying, catchment areas, and aging facilities. However, the participants specifi ed many concerns unique to rural school communities, such as: busing,
equitable programming among schools, school closures, and student population changes (due in part to a largely resource-dependent local economy), as well as preparing rural students for a successful transition to urban post-secondary education.

By Kelly Running Bilingualism can open many doors for people throughout their lives. In Canada we have two offi cial languages, French and English, and knowing each of them can better assist people throughout their lives. The Canadian Parents for French Wawota Chapter will be hosting a Winter Spirit Festival (Festival esprit d’hiver) on Sunday, Feb. 28, between 1 p.m. and 9 p.m. This is the second time the yearly event has been held and organizer Sarah Weatherald is excited to bring another day of fun to the community. “It will be fun and we’re going to be engaging more than just the smaller kids,” Weatherald said of the event. “There’s going to be something for everyone.” This includes the youth activity stations within the Wawota town hall, skating (patinage) on the pond, toboganning (luge), bingo (loto), and sleigh rides (promenade en traîneau). Additionally, Weatherald is excited to be bringing a fun team triathlon (minimum of four participants per team) to the event as well. “New this year is the triathlon,” Weatherald explained. “Teams will compete for points in three events. The fi rst event is the human dog sled race, so teams will pull a member down Main St. while being timed. The second is hockey golf with the closest one to the pin winning and the third is human curling. People will push a team member on an inner tube past the hog line to score points.” “There’s something for everyone this year, for the kids interested in sports or those that want to play Bingo, there’s a wide variety of activities. We’ll also be showing a movie that night, which we’re fi nalizing right now.” The movie being shown that day will be, “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day;” a comedy starring Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner. The day is completely free to the community other than the supper which will be available at the hall. “It’s a way for us to put on something free in the community for everyone, not just our members,” Weatherald stated. “It’s something everyone can take in and they can learn a little bit of French too.” CPF – Wawota has been running successfully since its creation and something they have seen great response to have been French days at the school on Professional Development days. Membership has increased and more kids are taking part in events throughout the year. Being bilingual, Weatherald says it is something that should be encouraged for all youth. “I think it’s [being bilingual] huge,” Weatherald stated. “Being bilingual enables people to engage with communities and the economy across Canada, no matter where they are they’ll be able to participate in society. There are numerous forms of French media and there are some really great fi lms coming out of Quebec, which is something very simple.” “I’ve worked in French and English, it’s something that can open up travel opportunities for you and the skills you learn from French are transferable. It can actually strengthen your math and English to be able to speak and understand French. There are countless academic benefi ts because it’s been proven to help you develop creatively and cognitively.” Although the day of the festival is to encourage

submitted a proposal to Enbridge explaining what services the hospital provides and how the money would be used. “We provide services to Enbridge employees, their spouses, their children, and so many
others in the community,” Wyatt said. “We are the hospital for Carlyle, Stoughton, Kisbey, and area.” The donation will be put towards purchasing a new cardiac monitor machine. “It’s a newer,
improved monitor/defi brillator,” Wyatt explained. “The new machines have the capacity to monitor more life support functions. We use it for not only cardiac patients, but for respiratory patients and motor vehicle accident patients as well.” This purchase, which they are still raising funds for, will benefi t not only the people of the area but also will allow the local health care workers utilizing the new piece of equipment to more easily work with STARS. “They come here with some amazing technology, so a newer model will enhance our own ability to mesh with STARS coming here for a transport,” Wyatt stated. The total cost of the new machine is $18,000, so the hospital was very excited to receive Enbridge’s donation. They are currently awaiting a
request to Sun Country for funds as well, while they are working on further
donations in order to raise enough money for the purchase.

OBSERVER OPINIONFriday, February 6, 2015CARLYLE OBSERVER www.carlyleobserver.com4
It’s the time of year movie makers anticipate to see if their produc-tions are going to garner any hardware. Whether it’s a Golden
Globe, Screen Actors’ Guild, Oscar or one of the countless other fetes, awards season is time for the industry to celebrate its achieve-ments and promote its people. The intent is to honor the best of the best. Running counter to these galas are the critics and organizations that announce their choices denoting what they deemed the worst of the worst. Lots of talk about the best…and the worst…of what the movie industry had to offer this year. Being the best or the worst creates buzz. That’s a good thing for them. Conversely, to cause lit-tle reaction is a fate no studio wants to experience. Better to be con-sidered one of the worst than to be forgotten because even a movie deemed lousy will still generate as much talk, analysis and buzz as those considered the best of the bunch. It is more desirable to be on one end of the spectrum or the other than to simply be unnoticed in the middle. Emily Dickinson, a prolifi c poet, published only 10 poems dur-ing her lifetime. Now she is a staple in American Literature poetry classes thanks to the volumes of poems published after her death. One of the most well-known is “I’m Nobody” which begins “I’m nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too? Then there’s a pair of us — don’t tell! They’d banish us, you know”.
Being “somebody” puts an individual at one extreme while a “nobody” would place them on the opposite end of that spectrum. At one end we put the rich, the famous and the notable while at the other is the forgotten, the lost and the outcast. The powerful, the affl uent, and those who live in the public eye generate a lot of buzz and it seems to be that even more money and infl uence follow. They are somebody. In contrast are the very poor, the victimized and those who live in diffi cult conditions that are more often than not cyclical. They have no resources and no power. Too often they are seen as statistics or global problems needing to be solved. Then there are those who fi nd themselves sitting somewhere in the middle. That’s many of us. As we sit on that spectrum we can choose to look in either direction. Perhaps we are tempted to look longingly at the somebody end and want what they have. How great would it be to have more money, more acclaim, more infl uence and wield more power? Oh…to be somebody. What about turning our heads to glance the other way? Do we take the time to see what is there? It’s much easier to look at the somebodies and imagine ourselves living like they do, while it is disconcerting to look the other way and think about how with a simple change of circumstance we could easily fi nd ourselves there. The problem with being a somebody in our culture is the way in which we have defi ned it. We place value on wealth, celebrity, position and power, and mistakenly equate that with worth. We stand at a distance and admire and elevate them. When we glance the other way we see harshness of life. We feel overwhelmed, ineffective…helpless. We stand at a distance to mute the scene or we avert our eyes so we don’t have to examine it too closely. We have turned our fellow human beings into somebod-ies and nobodies based on our attitude toward them.
For us who fi nd ourselves sitting too comfortably, it is time to end the comfort. We can’t duck and cover in the middle and hope we will go unnoticed. Tremendous power can be unleashed in the form of people who aren’t too far away to see the reality and who recognize we have enough to help. We want to be somebody. We want our life to matter. We can keep straining to get a glimpse of what we think might fulfi ll us, or we can walk a far more satisfying path and turn our eyes in the other direction and fi nd ways to bring resources, friendship and hope to those who aren’t looking for a way out but a way in. So how do we become somebody? In the end it won’t make a difference if there are titles on our door or awards on our mantle. The way we make our life matter is to live in such a way that we make every life matter. That’s my outlook.
The Super Bowl or what can be considered the ultimate
battle between two NFL teams considered the best in the United States. I like watching football, but I do fi nd Canadian Football is better, to me it seems more challenging and I’m a Riders fan through and through. Although I do watch some NFL football and cheer for the Steelers when I do, I like how Canadian football is played. This is one of those, you may agree or you may not mo-ments, but the rules of the CFL make the game a bit more diffi -cult I think. You’ve got a larger ball which is harder to catch, a longer fi eld, another man on the fi eld, and only three downs to get the chains moved. The NFL, mainly the Super Bowl, however, has other things to watch. In my opinion the Grey Cup halftime shows aren’t usu-ally anything compared to the Super Bowl and the commercials during the Super Bowl are some-times even better than the game. This year I didn’t have a chance to watch Seattle and New England duke it out, but the next day looking through the news and watching video clips on You-
Tube I found numerous refer-ences to Super Bowl ads and vir-tually nothing saying who won the game. Despite the Super Bowl being a beloved football fi nal, many people can’t seem to miss the halftime show and await the commercials often times visiting, texting, or talking on the phone instead of paying attention to the game. It’s kind of odd how that all developed. I’ve talked to people who don’t like football, but they’ll hold a Super Bowl party to enjoy the snack spread, a few drinks, and the halftime show. And if there are no hardcore football fans in the room they ac-tually turn the game off once the halftime show is over. Canadians are also big on watching Youtube clips of these commercials because they aren’t shown in Canada all the time, so they go online to fi nd them. Though this seems very mater-ialistic and consumer-driven, I don’t know if the commercials are actually watched because the viewers are going to be purchas-ing that item. There’s a chance that a cute commercial like the Budweiser one where a lost
puppy fi nds its way home, is just a cute commercial that people enjoy because they love puppies. Guaranteed, it gets a ton of coverage and gets their name out there a lot by having a Super Bowl ad, but sometimes the commercials don’t actually res-onate with the product. I know Budweiser and Clydesdale horses have gone together in the past, but a lost puppy being pro-tected by the horses on its way home isn’t going to encourage me to buy Budweiser… in fact I watched it and it only made me want to rescue a dog from a shel-ter. Oftentimes I fi nd commer-cials do this, they focus on some-thing cute or funny and com-pletely miss the point of a com-mercial in my opinion. Instead of making people think about their product and be encouraged to buy it, people are only talking about their commercials even forgetting what brand was being advertised. Having said that, I do enjoy watching the commercials, but I fi nd that they don’t always have the affect the companies would like on me as a viewer.

By Linda Wegner It was approximately four decades ago that Don Schlitz wrote “The Gambler’s Song”; over the next ten years Kenny Rogers, Bobby Bare and Johnny Cash recorded those familiar words (well, familiar to those of us who have been around for a while). The lyrics, couched in a catchy Western melody, also contain some old-fashioned wisdom. “You got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em,… know when to walk away, know when to run…”. Gambler or not, it makes a lot of sense. Walking wisely isn’t always as easy, or attractive, as it may appear on the surface: Values clash, priorities get muddled, honesty is too often compromised in fa-vour of politics or popularity and integrity is seduced by promises of material gain. As composer Schlitz wrote, you’ve got to know when to walk away, know when to run. In this third admonition in his trinity of marching orders, the Apostle Paul admonishes his readers: “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise…” (Ephesians 5:15). In other words, be careful. The second directive, walk as children of light, invites us to walk in the blessings of His love: Choose right things but always cling to the promise that through Christ God sees us as righteous. That fi rst instructive spoke of walking in love. Where self gratifi cation shouts “opportunity”, there’s no safer place to run than to the protection and shelter of the love of God. In so doing we are enabled to extend grace to others. Too often religion has approached the matter of “sin” as nothing less that God waiting for us to fail so that He is justifi ed in infl icting punishment. There’s nothing farther from the truth. He’s love in the midst of confl ict, light in place of darkness and a guide through life’s deepest valleys.
Linkedin - Spiritual Writers Association posed the question What can we as Spiritual Writers do, to ward off the impending confrontation between Islamic Extremists and their declared war on the rest of the world? Anyone who is not uneasy about the current threat posed by Islamic Extremists has not been following the news OR has a different philosophic mind set than most of us. Just the mere mention of ISIL, BokoHaram or Jihad causes an uncomfortable reaction in a peaceful heart. What is the Christian attitude toward these extremists that we as spiritual writers should foster? Pope Francis gives us a clue, but the real answer lies in Jesus Christ.
touches us through… acts of terrorism…close to home… this time it truly will be worldwide.” Gehrke cautions, “The strongest Spiritual commitment and action will be needed to confront its darkness and single mindedness.” Brenda Hopkins points out, “In Jesus’ Beatitudes, doesn’t it say, ‘Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the Earth’? “So when we release and heal our own secret hates and hidden fears… through our own unconditional loving acceptance, because judging them and us does not help heal them, then there is no need to fi ght back with guns, bombs, and other machineries with fancy strategies.” Imagine what the
world would be like if we all had the attitude of Jesus towards those who fi ll the world with hate and discord? We can live each day with a sense of justice, peace, love, mercy and kindness. The reign of God is in our hearts as Christians. There is a better way to live than fear and distrust. I will give Barbara Kellam-Scott the last word: “I care about them [the victims]… I pray…in hope of softening the hearts of their captors. ISIL wants only to humiliate Europe and North America, but they care most what other angry folk in their own part of the world think about whether we’ve been humiliated. Our military retaliation only strengthens their claim that they’ve succeeded.
The Linkedin Spiritual Writers shared some very challenging responses. Barbara Kellam-Scott addresses some of the political and spiritual nature of the problem: “We can continue to demonstrate grace and hope and refuse to be ruled by fear. The extremists don’t even much want our attention; their atrocities are posing for the benefi t of each other, waving their masculinity. They are not thoughtful or even ideologically driven. They are best defeated by the Desmond Tutus, the Malalas, and each of us who just go on expanding the strength of the spirituality that binds all humanity together.” Brenda Basco Hopkins also suggests a political analysis and, again, a
healing spiritual solution: “We must recognize that the Super-ego is the driving force of their thought-system, and Hate and Fear is the energy that propels their action. Which means that ultimately all their seeming power and force will come down to nothing when we do our part of releasing our own fears and secret hates in our hearts through the application of unconditional loving acceptance for claiming our power over them and choose to release them to Healing Loving Light. “Our own private and personal unresolved issues contribute to the ‘false’ power of the Super-ego Islamic war against the world. So, we need to do our own personal healings of our private unconscious resentments, fears, self-
doubt, guilt, anger, etc. “The Limitless Love from our Holy Creator of the Universes is the only True and Real Power there is ... anything that is the opposite to this i.e. fear and hate are false creations… by our limited ego-mind… [replacing] our Limitless Loving Mother/Father God.” Paul Gehrke, who posed the question we are discussing, says that we are a force for good, and that by reaching out to our Islamic brothers and sisters and “forgoing revenge/hate/and fear”, we make a reasonable difference. Gehrke warns: “The topic I have put forth will eventually touch us all, and denial of this reality…in the near future events could prove costly, as the fanaticism actually

Thirty-two Lions roared onto the ice at the Carlyle Curling Club on Sunday, February 1st, 2015 to vie for the honour of keeping the Lions Prairie Classic trophy for the next year. This fun day of curling was started last year by the Stoughton Lions Club and since Carlyle was the winner there, they were asked to host this year. The teams played three games of four ends each in the ‘skins’ format with points available to be earned each end. Whether it was luck, good curling
or home ice advantage we are not certain but the Carlyle Lions were again the victors and will have their name on the trophy for the second year in a row. The other clubs in order of fi nish were – Maryfi eld Lions, Gainsborough Lions, Bienfait Lions, Fort Qu’Appelle Lions, Alida Lions, Estevan Lions, and Stoughton Lions. Each team received a bag of goodies and there were several door prize draws. The 50/50 winner was Lion Parry Peet from the Alida Club. The Estevan Club volunteered
to host the event next year as moving around the district is part of the fun and a major way of Lions supporting each other. We are grateful to Lion Dennis Feduk for baking all the many kinds of world famous pies for lunch as well as to the local Lions (or their spouses) who made the delicious homemade soups. Lion Ray Lothian contributed bread for sandwiches and fruit cake for the team bags. Rons Work Wear Store, Shaw Construction and Enbridge contributed to the door prizes.
Carlyle & District Lions host curling fun day
1st place winners were, from the Carlyle Lions Club, (l-r) Kent Holland, Ray-mond Lothian, Keith Walker and Ted O’Neill.

The Pee Wee Cougars kicked of February with a home game against Arcola. The game had a bit of an odd start as the Combines goaltender was running late. In an excellent display of sportsmanship the Cou-gars own Missy Biermann stepped in to fi ll the void for the first ten minutes
until he arrived. Zane Win-ters got the nod from the coaches and was between the pipes for Carlyle. The young Cats started out hot, exerting pressure on the Combines as soon as the puck dropped; they weren’t able to bury anything and Arcola took advantage of a momentum swing, draw-ing first blood. The Cats maintained their intensity,
exchanging goals with the Combines. The fi rst period ended knotted up at 2 goals apiece. Carlyle took the lead in the second thanks in a large part to Brody Yuzi-cappi and Degan Galbraith. Brody had a monster game, eating up minutes with pos-session time and hitting his line mates with spectacular passes. He scored three goals and two assists in the contest. Meanwhile, Degan Galbraith put his passing skills on display in center ice. He was a force to be reckoned with on the fore-check, causing all sorts of havoc in the offensive zone and forcing Arcola into some poor decisions in their own end. The young Cats were up 6-3 after two. The third saw Arcola come out with a chip on their shoul-ders but Carlyle’s blue line was up to the challenge with Nolan Pelletier blocking shots in the defensive end and rock solid on the offen-sive blue line, coupled with Hayden McArthur showing excellent poise with the puck at both ends of the ice. Whenever something did get through Zane Winters was up to the task, shut-ting down a couple of solid fl urries midway through the third period. The Cougars open up February on a high note, a 10-6 victory over the Combines.

Submitted by the Southeast Vipers Volleyball Club The Southeast Vipers 18U club team made up of Katy McEwen (White-wood), Karlie Jackson (Wawota), Shelby Rose (Manor), Jaida Schutz and Kayla Nelson (Carlyle), Carlie Standingready and Shoni Peepeetch (White Bear), Alannah Bryce, Jor-
dan Johnston, and Marcedes Singleton (Arcola), Madi-son Englot (Montmartre), and Hailey Bachorcik (Mi-dale) competed on Satur-day, Jan. 31, and Sunday Feb. 1, in the fi rst Sask. Cup of the season. Jackson and Rose were unable to attend the tourna-ment, so the team pulled up 15U player Katelyn Hutt
(Lampman) to take on a position as a middle player. The girls came out fi ghting and although a few close games were lost, they were able to earn victory over the Bruno Bears to take third in their pool. The two crossover games were of high calibre with the Vipers in a fight to make it into Tier 3. Although they were unsuccessful in making Tier
Back row from l-r: Eric Brown (Asst. Coach), Teresa Johnston (Manager), Madison Englot, Hailey Bachorcik, Carlie Standingready, Jaida Schutz, Shoni Peepeetch, Kelly Running (Asst. Coach), Eugene Brown (Head Coach). Middle row l-r: Jordan Johnston, Kayla Nelson, Alannah Bryce. Front row l-r: Katy McEwen, Marcedes Singleton, and Katelyn Hutt.
First Southeast Vipers 18U tournament3, they did earn a victory placing them well in Tier 4. With fi ve games played on Saturday the girls were wiped, but were ready for action on Sunday. The 8 a.m. game went to three sets, but the second game of the day against
Prince Albert the girls had woken up for and fought their way to another game. Taking on Montmarte’s club team the girls fought, but lost in a tough battle and a series of long rallies. Entering the Tier 4 bronze medal match against
a Regina QCVC team the girls worked hard and de-spite close scores swept both the fi rst and second sets to take the bronze medal. In the end this left the girls 26th place out of a total of 43 teams attending the competition in Saska-toon.
In the Jan. 31 edition of The Observer the ar-ticle titled, “Arcola United Church welcomes new minister and his family,” inadvertently missed a crucial piece of information; Rev. Koshy David will be the new minister with the Arcola/Kisbey Pastoral Charge and will be working in both communities, not just Arcola. We apologize for this oversight.

Sports Wrap-up with Bruce Penton– NFL’s best quarterbacks stand tallest
So now that the Na-tional Football League sea-son has come to an end, what do we really know? We know that Bill Belichick and the Patriots are still not averse to trying to tilt the level playing a fi eld a little in their favour, eight years after having their knuckles rapped for Spygate. We know that the NFL is a quarterbacks league. The last four QBs stand-ing in the playoffs — Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers and An-drew Luck — are the cream of the QB crop and it’s more than a mere coin-cidence that their teams advanced to the conference championship games. We know that Rog-er Goodell is one of the weaker professional sports leagues head honchos, with poor (or no) decisions made on a number of vitally im-portant NFL-related events.We know that despite all the negativity surrounding the NFL with its play-ers’ crime-related activity, spousal abuse and brain-crunching hits that will in all likelihood lead to a shorter life for many of its players, that the general public can’t get enough. TV ratings are through the roof and the NFL owners make so much money from TV networks that they could afford to run their 16-game schedule inside empty sta-diums. We know that Cleve-land quarterback Johnny Manziel probably won’t live up to the hype. We know that pro-jected No. 1 draft pick Marcus Mariota, until he doesn’t live up to the hype, still has a chance to do so because he hasn’t taken an NFL snap yet. We know that after Brady, Wilson, Rodgers and Luck, there is a second tier of quarterbacks waiting for elevation to the top QB
fl oor. That group includes Joe Flacco, Tony Romo, Cam Newton, Matthew Stafford, Matt Ryan., Ben Roethlisberger and Andy Dalton. We know, sadly, that the best days are behind the likes of quarterbacks Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Philip Rivers and the much-maligned Jay Cutler. We know that former Alou-ettes coach Marc Trestman, who had one so-so season and one awful season with the Bears as head coach be-fore being fi red, must know his stuff because he wasn’t unemployed long enough to even take a week’s va-cation. He’s now running the offence in Baltimore with Flacco and coach John Harbaugh. We know from media coverage that while the NFL season might be over, NFL coverage never ends. They may not be playing football in the U.S. these days, but it’s always football season.• Mike Bianchi of the Or-lando (Fla.) Sentinel, af-ter NASCAR driver Kurt Busch claimed his ex-girl-friend is a CIA-trained as-sassin: “Gentlemen, start your cuckoo clocks.”• Seattle Times desk editor Scott Hanson, on Washing-ton State’s new defensive coordinator, Alex Grinch: “So I’m guessing he’ll make his players practise on Christmas.”• Commentator Kevin Thomas, to ESPN.com, after Bloomington (Calif.) High School lost 161-2 in girls basketball: “This would never have happened if Teen Wolf was on the team.”• Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle, on Twitter after New England Patriots were alleged to have defl ated most of the balls they used in the AFC championship game :”Good thing Bill Belichick isn’t in charge of the Macy’s Parade.”• Dwight Perry of the Seat-tle Times: “Martin Kaymer blew a 10-shot lead in the fi -nal round of the Abu Dhabi Championship. Bet that’s the last time he wears his lucky Packers socks.”• Scott Ostler again, after 49ers GM Trent Baalke said his team is in “reload-ing” mode, not rebuilding: “Please, someone tell Aldon Smith (who has a police history involving weap-ons) this is just a fi gure of
speech!”• Dwight Perry again: “The Wrigley Field bleachers — being rebuilt during the offseason — won’t be open until May 11. The Cubs’ new opening-day motto: Wait’ll Next Month.• TBS’s Conan O’Brien, on the Patriots vs. the Se-ahawks: “I’m from New England and my wife is from Seattle. That means no matter who wins the Super Bowl, I lose.”• Retired baseball writer Jim Street, on Alex Rodriguez getting batting-cage tips from Barry Bonds: “Why does ‘Big bad wolf hired to guard hen house’ come to mind?”• Michael Rosenberg of SI.com, on New England’s reputation as NFL cheaters: “The Patriots are suspected of cutting so many corners, their home fi eld should be an oval.” • RJ Currie of sportsde-ke.com: “Hall-of-Famer Wade Boggs, with more than 3,000 career hits, told TV star Charlie Day he once drank 107 beers in a day. So we have one thing in common: beer has often preceded the runs.”• Comedy wri ter J im Barach: “Jeff Gordon says he will retire after this year from driving full time on the NASCAR circuit. His plans are to take some time off and travel around the country in a car that lets him make a right turn every once in awhile.”•Headline at TheOnion.com: “NFL investigating whether Patriots played game with properly infl ated Vince Wilfork.”• Blogger Bill Littlejohn, with an 11th-hour sug-gestion for Super Bowl halftime: “How about Air Supply?”

A report of someone stunting in their vehicle was reported, but a vague description of the vehicle meant RCMP were unable to locate it. A caller reported a house being moved along the highway blocking traffi c; this was determined to be unfound-ed. A semi was reported for passing when unsafe on the road, but patrols could not locate the vehicle. An erratic driver, who was speeding, was reported, but no plate number or de-scription of the vehicle was
given. Inspection tickets were given to two separate individuals: the fi rst was for no brake lights and the second for window tint.Possession A 30-year-old male was charged with being in possession of cannabis at less than 30 grams.Failure to attend Two individuals failed to attend court on Wednes-day, Jan. 28, and warrants have been issued.Vehicle concerns Reports of suspicious vehicles were called into the detachment, but both vehicles being inquired about were found not to be suspicious. A motor vehicle was taken without the owner’s consent. The vehicle was returned and the owner de-clined to lay charges. A minor collision oc-curred in the area. There were no injuries, but the vehicles were not driv-able making it a reportable matter.

By Calvin Daniels In general terms farmers have been rather open to adopting new technologies. That adoption may not come overnight, but there are always those willing to take the plunge, going back to the fi rst farmers to hang up their horse harness and opt for a tractor. I am sure there were neighbours who thought them mad when they traded perfectly good horses for a smoke sputtering mechanical contraption, but in time tractors revolutionized farming. In my time, which extends past a half century now, we have seen similar dramatic changes into farming. We went from straw-bedded hogs kept a few head to a farm, to multi-thousand-sow units with tons of technology running feeding, monitoring, and electrical within the barn. We went from an era where 50 per cent of farms were left fallow each year, to one where continuous cropping is near universal. I can remember many farmers thinking early adopters of direct seeding were destined to fail. Global positioning system tech followed something of similar pattern, as did acceptance of genetically modifi ed canola varieties, although I would suggest the broader acceptance of both was quicker. In my mind farmers are now much more ready to try the innovative as they work to enhance returns.
There is however a technology adoption curve, said Tracy Greier, with Farm Credit Canada. She spoke to farmers in Canora Jan. 28, and said only about 2.5 per cent are innovative, fi rst-in adopters, with 13.5 per cent in soon after as early adopters. The bulk follow, once the bugs have been work out thanks to the efforts of early adopters, with the last 16 per cent lagging behind the majority. Those numbers are likely universal, whether talking direct seeding tech for farmers, of fl at screen televisions for the general public. Some people want the gadgets the day they come out, others take a wait and see, and some lag waiting for the day it fi nally makes sense for them to take the plunge. I suppose I fall into the lag pool. I tend to be satisfi ed with something that has worked for decades. As an example the telephone. Yes I understand the cellphone offers connectivity all the time, but I question how critical that is. I have more years behind me than ahead, and I can’t point to
a single time where a cellphone would have been more than a convenience, as opposed to a must. Certainly farmers or anyone in rural Canada has some added safety with a cellphone, if they have coverage, but a cellphone does not take the place of a winter survival gear in the trunk, yet how many cellphone users venture out in winter with no more than running shoes on their feet? So while new technology has benefi ts, they need to be weighed. Farmers need to understand that tech is a tool. Too often we fall into that murky area where the tool becomes a time consuming toy, like a cellphone where you take pictures and play games, and consume time with fun apps. That said, farmers are great at maximizing what tech can provide them, but as more and more must have gadgets arise, (do we really need a computer toothbrush to measure how we brush?), we need to be sure we are adopting out of need/benefi t rather than hype and advertising.
Adopting new farming technologies
Welcome back to the Arcola/Kisbey 4-H Beef Club News! On Dec. 7 we had our Christmas party in the basement of the high house. We all had fun! We ate pizza and exchanged gifts. After that we had a meeting. There were 16 people that attended the meeting and we discussed how the hall clean up went and some upcoming events. We were asked to clean the hall again on Dec. 20 for another Christmas party. And also that our weigh in was coming up on Jan. 4 and our meeting would be after that. We also discussed that speeches were going to be the start of February. Talk to you next time. On Jan. 4 we had a meeting at the school but we didn’t have a weigh-in before it because it was too cold. There were 14 people that attended the meeting. We discussed what day we should move our weigh-in to and decided we would move it to Jan. 25. If anyone wanted to curl on the 17th it was in Fillmore. We were going to put one team in and if the team got 1st or 2nd they would go to Radville on the 1st of February, so that then meant we had to move speeches to the next week. That is all for now!

Arcola/Kisbey 4-H Beef Club news
This year began a little later for the Moose Moun-tain 4-H club. The club reorganized in November with 3 projects this year including: Light horse, Cooking and Sewing. The club also sent a 13u Junior team to Dis-tricts Jan 15 in Filmore. The team consited of: Hannah and Shae Johnston, Jami, Madi and Mckenna Harkness who came out on top and advanced to Regionals in Rad-ville on Jan 31. The Moose Mountain 4-H club came home with the gold medal, playing the entire Regional event undefeated. Congratulations girls! In February the club intends on attending a fun day at Boomers air park in Regina, as well as holding club speeches at the end of Feb, and hosting Area Speeches in the beginning of March. We will also be sending some of our members to the equine expo Feb 15-17 up in Saskatoon.

Moose Mountain 4-H news
It’s a new year for the Browning 4-H Beef Club. We are a small, but enthusiastic, club with Emily Craig as president, Alexis Christensen as vice-president, Gavin Fleck as secretary, Brenden Lischka as treasurer, and Keara Christensen as club reporter. Members and guests enjoyed our Christmas bowling party in Estevan. We ended the evening enjoying pizza. Browning 4-H Beef Club hosted the annual 4-H district curling bonspiel on January 17th in Lampman. There were six teams participating. They were from the Crossroads and Corning multiple clubs; Outram-Madigan and Browning beef clubs. The fi nal junior game was a hard fought game coming down to the last rock. The Browning junior team and the Crossroads senior team will be going to the regional bonspiel in Radville on January 31 and February 1. Now it’s time for members to be thinking about and preparing their 4-H speeches.

GrandmaYou’d be in the garden tend-ing the flowers, or in the living room reading for hours.Right now I wish you were close,Right next door . . . just down the road.I like to think you’re not that farIn my heart, or up in the stars,I wish to hear your voice, I had to just pick up the phone,I wish you would just come home.Grandma, don’t worry, I know you’re some where with no hate, Grandma I know that place is truly great.I bet it is beautiful where there is no bad,I know you’re with GrandpaAnd that makes me less sad.I wish I could visit this place, I bet it is pleasant.Grandma, I know that place . . . It is Heaven.
GrandpaI never got to meet you, though I wish I did.The stories I hear sound so great.I can’t believe I was too late.You’re in Heaven with Grand-ma next to you,Looking down on Earth and the sky so blue,Oh how I wish I could talk to you.Make sure Grandma is okayThere is so much I wish I could say,Just know we miss you and Grandma too,Protect her and love her, I know you do.We will see you again some dayUntil then, you’re both in our hearts forever to stay.

Judy Anne Bouchard
Judy Anne BouchardJune 2nd, 1955 -
September 25th, 2014 Judy Anne Bouchard peacefully passed away at the Moosomin Health Centre on September 25, 2014 at the age of 59. Judy was raised in Redvers by Emil and Marion Dangstorp. Emil believed in earning his keep by using his own two hands while Marion believed one could use their mind to accomplish anything. Judy learned the value of hard work as she worked with her family in the restaurant, on the farm and around the house.
After she obtained her high school diploma Judy attended University of Saskatchewan earning a degree in Education. Her rst job was in the town of Storthoaks, Sask. She taught there for 24 years. The remaining 13 years of her career were spent in Redvers, Sask. During her 37 years as a teacher and administrator she was also a mother of 3 children, an understanding farmers wife, and an active contributor to the community. She managed ball teams, organized functions, and coached many school sports. It wasn’t easy to nd time for herself or to have hobbies. Nevertheless, she enjoyed many sports and to be involved was a treat for her. In her spare time she enjoyed reading, crafts, cooking, and shopping for gifts. Judy’s house was a botanist’s dream. She had a green thumb and could bring any plant back to life. Judy enjoyed clothing, and she barely wore the same out t more than twice. She loved music and played at many church services and weddings in her earlier years. Judy loved her family and enjoyed attending family functions. Family was everything to her. She was there to listen, be supportive and her advice was always valued. She will be greatly missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. The memory of Judy will be forever cherished by her husband Marcel Bouchard of Fertile; children: Krista (Brad) Naviaux of Redvers and their children, Braden, Jada and Draven, Kiley Bouchard of Redvers and Konner Bouchard of Fertile; father Emil Dangstorp of Redvers; siblings: Brian (Gail) Dangstorp of Redvers, Karen Barth of Regina, Deryl (Laurie) Dangstorp of Regina and Ole Kenneth (Georgia) Dangstorp of Alameda; father-in-law Alfred Bouchard; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law: Marilynn (Fabien) Garnier of Redvers, David (Gisele) Bouchard of Fertile, Brenda Lemieux (Blaine LaBatte) of Alida and Valerie (Robert) Hansen of Redvers, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her grandparents, Ole & Emilienne Dangstorp and John & Birdie Reid; mother Marion Dangstorp; mother-in-law Cornelia Bouchard and brothers-in-law, Greggery Bouchard and Clement Lemieux. A Celebration of Judy’s Life was held on Tuesday, September 30, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. at the Redvers Recreation Centre. Rev. Michelle Moore of ciated. Interment will take place at the Fertile Cemetery at a later date. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Hall Funeral Services, Redvers. The following is a poem that mom truly believed in and tried to live her life by everyday.
Follow Your Destiny, Wherever It Leads You There comes a time in your life when you realize that if you stand
still, you will remain at this point forever. You realize that if you fall and stay down, life will pass you by.
Life’s circumstances are not always what you might wish them to be. The pattern of life does not necessarily go as you plan.
Beyond any understanding, you may at times be led in different directions that you never imagined, dreamed, or designed. Yet if you
had never put any effort into choosing a path or tried to carry out your dream,
then perhaps you would have no direction at all.Rather than wondering about or questioning the direction
your life has taken, accept the fact that there is a path before you now. Shake off the “whys” and “what if’s” and rid yourself of confusion. Whatever was – is in the past. Whatever is – is what’s important. The past is a brief re ection. The future is yet to be realized. Today is here.
Walk your path one step at a time – with courage, faith and determination. Keep your head up and cast your dreams to the stars.
Soon your steps will become rm and your footing will be solid again. A path that you never imagined will become the most comfortable
direction you could have ever hoped to follow.Keep your belief in yourself and walk into your new
journey. You will nd it magni cent, spectacular, and beyond your wildest imaginings.

By Lynne Bell The Carlyle Fire Department (Carlyle and R.M. 63 Fire & Rescue) is holding its First Annual Seafood Lobster Fest and Auction Fundraiser, June 6 at the Carlyle Sports Arena. “It’s an idea we’ve been working on for a while,” says Carlyle Fire Chief and native Newfoundlander, Trent Lee. “This time, we’re selling 150 tickets. If it goes well, we’ll probably do a bigger event next year, and maybe even do steak and lobster.” After cocktails, the fi ve-course dinner begins with fresh mussels, followed by a bowl of clam chowder and a Caesar salad. The main course, fresh lobster fl own in from Nova Scotia, will be cooked by Certifi ed Chef de Cuisine, Dave Powell of Regina, who also happens to be Lee’s father-in-law. “(Powell) does a few of these every year, including one for the Shriners,” says Lee. “He’s cooked for our fundraisers before, and even though that’s been barbequed steak, he does an excellent lobster.” Powell will also give a short demonstration before the main course on how to dine on a full lobster, and Lee says that while some inexpensive lobster crackers will be available for sale at the dinner: “If you have them, please bring them.” The evening will end with carrot cake for dessert and both silent and live auctions. “We welcome any donations of auction items, volunteers to work at the event, and sponsorships,” adds Lee. “So far, we have a framed, authentic, and autographed Bobby Orr Boston Bruins jersey up for auction, as well as a few Saskatchewan Roughriders prints from their Grey Cup win, too.” Lee, who is also President of the Saskatchewan Association of Fire Chiefs, says funds raised will go towards the construction of a new fi re

hall, as well as fi refi ghter training. “The two go hand-in-hand,” says Lee. “A bigger facility allows us to have specialized training, such as live fi re training. You can train people in (fi refi ghting) theory, but if you don’t train people to fi ght a live fi re, you’re
sending them out there to theoretically fi ght a fi re.” “It is a lot of money,” adds Lee. “But if we do this right, it’ll outlive any one of us. We need to plan for the future. We need to train new men and women. We have 24 dedicated fi refi ghters right now, but we need to keep attracting
more young people annually, simply because sometimes volunteer fi refi ghters’ availability may change a bit as they get married and have families, not to mention the growth of the entire area’s population.” “In our current area, we have nowhere to sit down and have a meeting or a class. We could also use it as an emergency operations centre, in the case of fl ooding, ice storms, or anything Mother Nature sends.” “So far, we’ve been lucky. We’ve had a very mild, uneventful winter, but it will change, unfortunately. It’s just a matter of time. There are a lot of new challenges, not just the (population) growth, but all of the hazardous goods being hauled by train and truck through the area.” “The town is still growing and the fi re department needs to grow with it. We’ve got a lot of catching up to do and we’re doing it. We’ve got fantastic equipment
in the hall, thanks to the community. We’d appreciate their continued support, and we’re looking forward to having people support our First Annual Lobster fest and auction.” For more information,
to volunteer at the event, to donate an auction item, or to purchase a ticket, contact Chief Trent Lee at (306)-575-8758 or check out Carlyle Fire & Rescue on Facebook. Tickets are $60 each.

It was an awesome evening for the Alida & Area 4-H Beef Club at their fundraising event held at Alida Hall on Saturday, January 31. It was a full house with everyone enjoying either the steak or hamburger supper (their pre-ordered choice). It was also the club’s 75th
year of existence so there were many past members in attendance as well as all of the present ones. The evening began with the members and leaders gathering on stage to be introduced and to recite the 4-H pledge. A short history of the club was given by some of the present day members. Eleanor Harrison was then recognized for the 35 years that she has been involved with the 4-H program and was also presented with a District 41 4-H jacket. Following the 4-H grace the rows of tables were then auctioned off, the row with the highest bid was reward by being the fi rst one to go up for supper. At the conclusion of the supper the club’s general leader, Steven Brownell introduced the auctioneers for the live auction to begin. Throughout the evening he also read the names of the silent auction winners and the Chinese auction winning numbers. It was a very successful evening for the club and much appreciation was given to those who had given donations for the auctions as well as to everyone who continues
to support the club. May the club remain active for many more years and Good Luck to the members in this year’s 4-H program. Kelly McRae and son Tatye (Pincher Creek, AB) were visiting over the weekend with her parents, Jim and Elaine Hyde and attended the funeral for her grandfather, Jack Humble at Oxbow on Saturday, January 31. Jaye Lemieux and daughters Charity and Mari were in Wawota on Sunday, February 1 attending one of the girl’s hockey games and following the game they visited with Maire Anne Lemieux who is now a resident at the Deer View Lodge. Bob and Joyce Peet (Weyburn) are spending a few days with their daughter, Cindy Beriault while Mark is away on a holiday. While here they are also visiting with other members of their family. Despite the cold winter like temperatures this weekend there was a good turnout once again for Sunday breakfast at the Alida Hall. Group # 1 served up 49 breakfasts this morning, not breaking the record this time around (maybe next time) but a great job was done by those who were doing the cooking and serving – way to go guys. Next Sunday it is Kitchen Group # 2 back at the helm – good luck to them in trying to defeat the breakfast record of 60 – See you at the hall for breakfast. Another curling event
to enjoy this past weekend - The Canadian Junior’s – the Junior Women played their semi-fi nal and fi nal games on Saturday with the Alberta team coming out on top. On Sunday it was the Junior Men who played both the semi-fi nal and fi nal games with the Saskatchewan team winning in the semi-fi nal and went on to meet the Manitoba team in the fi nal game. It was a tie game coming home which resulted with the Manitoba team being the successful ones for the third year in a row. Good luck to these Canadian Junior teams as they go forward into their next series of games. Keep watching that television as now it is time for the Tournament of Hearts to take place – Good curling and good luck to these provincial curlers – Go Saskatchewan Go! The forecasters tell us that “Willie”, the groundhog did NOT see his shadow today, Monday, February 2, which means that it will be an early spring. Hip hip hooray I think we will all take that as a good omen. Please remember to give me a call (306-443-2496) or a text message (306-485-8561) or send an e-mail ([email protected]) with your news – as I’ve said before I really do appreciate your calls and input towards this column, as I’m sure the readers do to. Until next time – Stay warm – Keep smiling – Drive safely and Take care.
Another Monday morning—wonder how many ground hogs saw their shadow? Whatever, we are suppose to get we will get in the form of weather and let’s not complain. Congratulations to Laura Kish on her many years of working for the Kipling Citizen—I think this little quote tells us all how important the newspapers are—Success is measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he or she has overcome while trying to succeed. Gordon and Mona West fl ew to Palm Springs, California on Jan. 18th to spend a week with
Gordon’s brother Bert and Judy West, who are holidaying there. Judy’s sister Marlene and Rick Dinelle of Winnipeg, MB were holidaying with them also. They enjoyed several rounds of golf, some hiking, and a day at the Humana Golf Tournament following Sask. Golfer Graham Delaet. By grapevine news—there seems to have been a number of folks enjoying their winter holidays wherever it is different climate and I would like to wish everyone holidaying to enjoy themselves—the time to do this is now. We wish Greg, Derinda and Celina Cummins happiness in their new venture living
in Moose Jaw, they left Kennedy Jan. 29th. Once again the Kennedy Friendship Center held their monthly bingo on Thursday.

I have to say that being back in Africa is such an amazing feeling! As
soon as I landed and saw the outline of the trees, the sun rising in the back-ground and the hills and mountains in the distance, in a way it felt like I was back in my second home. I was so ready and excited to ditch the cold and un-predictable Saskatchewan weather and embrace some warm Kenyan sun! It was dif cult arriving in the middle of the week because I needed some time to get over jet lag but also wanted to jump in with both feet and get doing things! I was lucky to be able to spend the last few days of the week out in the slum of Marurui getting to know some amazing
Nicole Andrew - Letters from Africa
crying isn’t going to help anything and if anyone should be crying about the situation it’s the kids and they are undoubtedly the happiest ones in the room! Instantly that sadness and heart break you feel turns into an unexplainable joy and happiness. I know that during my time here I’m not going to be able to change these children’s living conditions, I’m not going to be able to guaran-tee them an education that will give them a promising job in the future so they can pull themselves out of the cycle of poverty, I can’t clean all of the water these kids come in contact with and I most de nitely can’t change the past that many of these children have experienced and suffered through. But I can love them. I can spend every minute of my time with these people encouraging them, letting them know that they are loved and cared about, that God loves them and that common ground is
time was spent out in the stunning Rift Valley doing food relief work with the Massai peo-ple. I have a million stories I could share about those people and that adventure but I’ll save that for another time! However, this made me even more excited to be able to spend this trip working with children, and working in slums around Nairobi. During my last trip slums were always the places you drove past with your windows rolled up, doors locked and for the most part not looking out your window or making eye contact. Yet at the same time, each time we drove past a slum during my last trip, seeing the poverty, dirtiness, and the conditions with which they
lived, part of my heart broke for them and wanted so badly to be able to stop the car and go help them, talk to them, let them know that I didn’t care that our skin was different co-lours and that I would love to just spend the day with them learning about them, but that was going to have to wait for another time. Now is nally that
teachers and some of the greatest most adorable kids! Although I say that now I’m quite sure that any story I share from any school or area I go to is going to be lled with those same “amaz-ing teachers” and “ador-able kids” so don’t hold it against me! Last time I was in Kenya I did no work in slums at all, my
time. I got to spend the end of my rst week here in the slum of Marurui where I will be spending the majority of my time for these rst few weeks as they have lost one of their teachers and need a replacement! They didn’t know this teacher was leaving until ten days ago so you could say it’s a bit of a blessing in disguise although I know I will never be able to ll her shoes! I’ve been told that Marurui is the nicer slum of the ones I will be experiencing and was told that the other ones will make me cry. I’ve barely been holding it together in this one so to say the rest of my experiences will be interesting is probably the understatement of the year! I wish I could share with you all how it feels to sit in a classroom of chil-dren and let them touch your skin and look at your blue eyes, running their ngers through your hair
saying “so beautiful”, or listening to them sing and dancing with them at break time, walking around and wishing you had more hands for the children to hold because they simply want to be close to you, it’s unlike any feeling I can explain to you. For anyone who has experi-enced this I know you’re reading this nodding your head with a smile knowing exactly what I’m talking about. You see the condi-tion these children have to live in and your heart breaks and you wish you could cry, but you know
enough to make us like family. I can raise aware-ness of these situations back at home and I can put in time and effort to make sure that as many children as possible are sponsored to keep them off the streets of the slums, out of trouble and on the path to a better future. At times it might seem or feel redundant, that I’m just going to be one of the many people that spend time, effort and money in these places and never see improvement or feel like it was effort wasted. If I can assure you of anything it is this, once you experience these people, their smiling faces, their warm hugs, the feeling of a small child slipping their ngers in be-tween yours, holding your hand and never wanting to let go, you will know that loving them and sharing God’s love with them will never be effort or time wasted. As much as I can do tangibly and physically to change their circum-stances I will, and yes it
may only be a temporary x for a little while, hold-
ing them over and not yet nding a permanent solu-
tion to the problems they face, I know that the time and effort spent loving these people and sharing God’s love with them is far from a temporary x, and it is something I know will stick with them long after I’m gone, much the same way that each and every one of them will stick with me long after I have left. (Nicole Andrew (20) of Carlyle is currently living in Nairobi, Kenya, where she is working with Jacaranda Community, a mission founded and run by evangelists, Garry and Brenda Kean. While here Nicole will be working alongside single mothers and their children helping them overcome the cycle of poverty in the slums of Nairobi. During her time in Africa she will be sending The Observer weekly letters about her experiences and is also keeping a blog; follow her at https://nicoleinafrica2015.wordpress.com.)

Blythe Darwyn. Congratulations to Sydney Boustead and Ja-mie Shire on the birth of their daughter. Elliette Au-brey was born Jan. 23 and weighed 6 lbs 4 oz. Several groups and committees are meeting or have met to plan their upcoming events. The Wa-wota Lions are planning for their 50th anniversary this spring. The Time and Talent Committee of the United Church have met and have planned for the 2015 Time and Talent. The Legion is planning a soup and sand-wich day for Telemiracle and the Drop In is planning a Continental Breakfast also for Telemiracle. The Wa-wota Skating Club is being planned for a FunFest event. The Winter Spirit Festival is coming up AND then city folk ask whatever do you do in small towns?
