A Dickens of a weekend: Warm weather contributes to Carlyle’s Dickens Fest success

The 13th annual Carlyle Dickens Village Festival-held on December 4, 5 and 6- was made even more successful due to unseasonably high temperatures, according to members of the festival’s organizing committee. The guest book in the Carlyle Memorial Hall was signed by 757 visitors-from Vancouver, Thunder Bay, and Prince Edward Island, as well as communities from throughout Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan. The festival featured food, drink and free entertainment at Fezziwigs Family Pub in Carlyle Memorial Hall, High Tea and a bake sale in the United Church, Tiny Tim’s Taster Tour hosted by local businesses, craft markets, free horse and carriage rides, Cornerstone Family and Youth’s Festival of Trees, Breakfast with Santa hosted by the Carlyle RCMP detachment, a lighted parade each evening, food vendors and an original adaptation of Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’ by Cornerstone Theatre Company, as well as a childrens’ version of the play. The top three activities for visitors-according to a survey commissioned by the Dickens committee-were Friday and Saturday evening’s lighted parades, the sold-out performances of Cornerstone Theatre Company’s ‘A Christmas Story: The Real Story,’ and High Tea at the Carlyle United Church, which attracted a record-breaking 445 guests over two days. “A few days before the weekend, we had to add a third space for our craft vendors, due to high demand, and even our horse and carriage rides ran for a little longer,” says Dickens committee chair, Shelley Slykhuis. “We’ve had added interest in the fl oats for our lighted parade, this year’s production of ‘A Christmas Carol’ by Cornerstone Theatre was eff ectively sold out very early, and so much more.” Dickens vendor coordinator Sandra Dyer says, “Vendor demand was up this year and not only did we have more vendors, but many of them were requesting two or three tables instead of just one.” “We’d love to have them all under one roof,” adds Dyer. “But we couldn’t fi t them all into one space. We’ve had quite a mixture of local vendors as well as First Nations vendors-which is awesome- along with vendors from out of town.” “We had a lot of interest this year and we started receiving vendor requests early in the summer,” says Dyer. “We give our returning vendors priority, but we ask that they get in touch with us after Homespun.” The town-where temperatures reached a high of 10C- was once again transformed into a Victorian village, as businesses, service clubs, churches, schools and individuals dressed and decorated for the era; invoking the spirit of Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’ and marking the start of the Christmas season in the Town of Carlyle. “I’ve been told that we’re the only Dickens Festival in Canada,” says Dyer. “And we certainly go all out!” “It’s a great event for our town,” adds Dyer. “And people really get into it dressing up and making all of the events so much fun for themselves and for visitors to Dickens.”

Slykhuis agrees. “We had phone calls from people from out of province and this year, the ‘Women on the Go’ tours out of Regina brought buses to Dickens both days,” says Slykhuis. “Usually, they just come on the Friday, but a busload came on Saturday, too. They sold out quickly, so they told us they’ve added a van for the overfl ow.” “That group alone brings us visitors from Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert.” “We’ve never had it this warm and we’ve never had this kind of interest before the weekend even got underway.” Shiela Menard of Dickens Information and Hospitality Committee says, “I’ve been volunteering at Dickens since the start and I’ve never seen the temperature hit above fi ve degrees,” she says. “Our entertainment is always great and this year was no exception,” adds Menard. “We had Teagan Littlechief, Ken Hamm and always, The Happy Wanderers. And we also had Mark Humphries from Manitoba, magician Patrick Roth, (musician) Katie Miller from Carnduff and much more.” “We had an amazing line-up this year,” adds Dyer. Visitor Barb Kreics of Lampman says, “We’ve been here for Dickens four or fi ve times. The weather this year made the drive so easy. But we’ve come during blizzards before. It’s just a great time!” “We couldn’t do any of the things our visitors enjoy without our volunteers,” adds Slykhuis. “We’ve had all kinds of weather during the thirteen years of the Dickens Festival, but it’s really our volunteers that make it happen. We count on them to keep it going.” Town councillor Jenn Sedor agrees. “This is my favorite event of the year,” she says. “It makes Carlyle a unique place to live and it attracts a lot of tourists to the town. I’d really like to see it continue for a long time and we always welcome new volunteers.” “We’re always welcoming new volunteers and this year is no exception,” adds Slykhuis. “The time committment only begins in September. Anyone who is interested can call me at (306)-453-3334. “We’d love to hear from them, so we can continue to make the Dickens Festival a success.” Winners of the annual Dickens decorating competition are as follows: ResidentialTraditional: Bill and Lori Wyatt, south end of 6th Street WestVictorian: Shane and Romona Rushton, 128 5th Street WestMichelle and Austin Orsted, 132 6th Street West BusinessTraditional: Carlyle BakeryVictorian: Carlyle Dairy QueenNovelty: Stratus Vapor Shop Parade winners are:Friday:First Place: Home Hardware/Gillis ConstructionSecond Place: Town of CarlyleThird Place: Crescent Point EnergySaturday:First Place: Home Hardware/Gillis ConstructionSecond Place: Full Gospel ChurchThird Place: Just Fur Paws Grooming

The annual fall band concert at Gordon F. Kells High School was hosted on Monday, Nov. 30, at 7:30 p.m. The grade 5/6 band performed fi rst presenting six short pieces to the audience including “Go Tell Aunt Rhodie,” “El Camino Mariachi,” “Little Robin Red Breast,” “Merrily We Roll Along,” “Clash of Warriors,” and “Itsy Bitsy Spider.” New to band, the younger grades are learning how to read music and how to play together which is a challenge in itself. This was emphasized by Kevin Dyck, the director, during the playing of “Itsy Bitsy Spider,” which was done in a round. The melody is played by a certain group, while one or more of the same melody is played beginning at diff erent times. “It’s quite something to be playing beside someone when you’re playing the same music, but it’s even more diffi cult playing when the person beside you is playing diff erent notes,” Dyck explained. The grade 5/6 band includes Drazmine Palma, Sassy Tinio, Tarris Valentine, Sydney Bouchard, Brooklyn Delorme, Caitlyn Joya, and Taya Kakakaway on fl utes; Bea Caan, Paris Rutten,

Impressed by the grade 5/6 band the audience applauded loudly before warmly welcoming the sounds of the senior band. The senior band performed three pieces including “The Tempest” by Smith, “Going Home” by Dvorak, and “Curse of Tuthankhamun” by Story. Using a variety of percussion instruments, each piece was enjoyed a diff erent sound. This included the use of a tamtam - a small gong - being used in the Egyptian music of the “Curse of Tuthankhamun.” Each piece was unique and showcased the abilities of the students. The audience very much enjoyed the performance and the senior band provided a great example of what the 5/6 band can look forward to in the future. (For a video of the grade 5/6 band performing “Little Robin Red Breast” and the Senior Band performing “The Tempest” visit our website at www.carlyleobserver.com)

The senior band at Gordon F. Kells High School performed a total of three pieces for the audience, which came together on Monday, Nov. 30, to enjoy the musical e� orts of the band.

It was an exciting evening as kids eagerly awaited the fi rst spelling bee hosted at the White Bear Education Complex. A fun way to learn, compete, and build confi dence as they stand in front of an audience ready to spell. The spelling bee is a great new addition to the White Bear Education Complex. The competition included three age categories including Primary (ages six to eight), Junior (9 to 11), and intermediate (12 to 14), which includes youth in grades three to nine. The top three in each category have earned their way to Provincials in North Battleford on April 8. There they will compete with the top three spellers in each category will go on to compete in Nationals in Toronto on May 15.

With diffi cult words thrown at them, it was a challenge, but one the kids rose to. Spelling words included yawn, enzyme, solicit, medallion, impromptu, narcoleptic, intermittent, bereavement, silhouette, and Mesopotamian. Some words the crowd watching commented they didn’t know how to spell, after all Mesopotamian isn’t a commonly used word. A total of two youth were participating in Primary, eight were competing in Junior, and fi ve challenged each other at the intermediate level.

Ross, with Mercedez Littlechief fi nishing second. Both did an extremely good job at tackling tough words including tricky words like yawn. The Junior winners (from fi rst to third) were Delilah Littlechief, Katie Desjarlais, and Taya Lavallee. This group too had tricky words including solicit, which doesn’t follow the typical rules of the English language where a “c” needs an “e” following it to sound like an “s.” It was then time for the Intermediate group to challenge each other resulting in Mystique Bigstone earning fi rst, Taryn Cappo taking second, and River

Lavallee-Whitebear earning third place.

Words to spell became increasingly di� cult as youth made it through the rounds.

For over 30 years, Carlyle’s Dennis Feduk has paid it forward with pies.

Although Feduk works full-time, he has cre-ated and donated thousands of his homemade pies, tarts, cookies, Nanaimo bars and perogies to individuals and organizations.

“When I meet people, and I think they need something, I just make it for them,” says Feduk. “I couldn’t give an amount or a dollar fi gure, but this year, I’ve easily made 100 pies since the middle of July.”

“And the year after my wife Judy died (in 2013), I made 170 pies, 2,500 butter tarts, and 5,000 perogies.”

Feduk says that his calling for cook-ing-and later baking-began with Judy.

“I grew up on a farm near Melville,” he says. “And the thing I learned from my mom was how to make a pattern on a pie crust-almost like a fl oral design. Then, I worked on the railroad when I was 19. I was living in a bunk car. I cooked my meals on a wood stove. We didn’t have any electricity, so I brought stuff from the farm that wouldn’t spoil easily: vegeta-bles, bread, butter, roast pork.”

“After I got together with Judy, I inherited a lot of the cooking after I gave her some friendly advice,” he laughs. “I thought I was helping, but she didn’t want it.”

“I started cooking and the baking came a little later.”

Since then, Feduk has delighted celebrities and civilians alike with his culinary creations, with many of them garnering top dollar at charity auc-tions.

“When I saw (country singer) Carlene Carter in Regina in 2009, she signed a book for me. I asked her if I could do something for her in return and she asked “What would that be?’”

“I had an apple pie, some Nanaimo bars and a dozen butter tarts in my car. I went out and gave them to her and she shared them with her band and crew.”

“I met Fred Perry-a Roughriders player-and his family in Yorkton. I gave them an apple pie and some perogies. He and his wife, Tammy Montgom-ery were pretty pleased.”

“Larry Hogue-who’s an ex-Roughrider-asked for my perogy recipe,” adds Feduk.

“When (Olympic cyclist) Clara Hughes came to Carlyle, I dropped off three apple pies-Clara’s favorite-at the Ramada. When I went to pick up the empty plates, I got an envelope with a note signed by all of the eight people on Clara’s tour and a signed picture of Clara with a note that I had framed and now hangs in my

house.”However impressive, Feduk’s

celebrity encounters pale in com-parison to the sheer volume of

baking he gives to individuals and charities, year after year.

“I don’t really keep track,” says Feduk. “If I can make someone smile, that’s great. And with auction items, whatever they decide to pay is fi ne with me and if it helps

someone, that’s even better.”

“But I can tell you that about a month ago, I was asked to put in pies for an auc-tion in Estevan called ‘Cooks That Cook.’”

“I put in a Saskatoon and a pecan pie togeth-er. They got $150 for them. Then the Saskatoon pie was donated back a few times until it fi nally went for

$1,175. It might be the highest price someone has ever paid for one of my pies and it got thrown in a guy’s face,” he says, laughing.

Locally, Feduk’s ‘Pie of the Month’ fetched $750 at 2014’s Carlyle & District Lions Club’s an-nual fundraiser.

The buyer, Tara Bendtsen of Carlyle, was so pleased with her purchase, she wrote this letter with instructions for it to be read just prior to the bidding on Feduk’s donation at the 2015 event:

Dearest bidders,We were fortunate to outbid a few people last

year for this great prize, however what you need to know about this item is that it’s priceless, don’t try and fi gure the price out, because you can’t.

What Dennis delivers to your door, most often still warm from the oven and smelling like heaven isn’t just the pie that might make your pants a little tighter. It’s a friendship baked into the golden delicious crust, or a cookie or a Nanaimo bar or his homemade perogies!! He’s a man of many tal-ents and that’s why this prize is worth every penny!

He always has a smile, a kind word, a story from his travels either near or far, or an ear to bend if that’s what you need. My family and I have en-joyed getting to know Dennis better over this past year, whether it was at the rink, the ball park, out for a walk or with a tea at the house, and we look forward to many more.

We won’t be bidding on it this year because we think that everyone should get this chance to know Dennis.

Thank you, Den-nis (The PIE Guy)

Sincerely,The Bendtsen

family During the

past three years, lucky trick-or-treaters visiting Feduk’s home might fi nd themselves taking home a tart or a cookie. Feduk cooks and bakes throughout the year, and often has some treats in reserve in his freezer, although he says: “I think I’m caught up for a while,

and then before I know it, I’m running low again.”“I make a lot of perogies from the middle of

December through to March,” he says. “I make po-tato and cheese with onion and bacon and onion,” he says. “I bake in the summer, too.”

When asked what his favourite type of pie to bake is, Feduk says: “It really depends on what time of year it is and what’s in season. I think my best pie is coconut cream, and pecan is the easiest to make.”

“But if apples or Saskatoons are in season, well those are good, too.”

Although Feduk is Carlyle and area’s “go-to guy” for a charitable donation, supplying dessert to a function, or both, he refuses to sell his creations.

“I donate to the United Church and I gave 14 pies to Minor Sports to sell in the cafeteria at Homespun. I bought some pieces to give to vendors at Homespun, and I was asked why I bought my own stuff . But it made me happy to donate and it made me happy to bring something to the vendors visiting Carlyle.”

“They said they didn’t expect something like that. I also gave a group of people from Ottawa an apple pie. They were camping in Lions’ Park. It’s just something I do.”

“When Judy had her store, I’d make 240 tarts and we’d take them to Winnipeg on buying trips and give one to each supplier.”

“I’ve had people ask me if they can buy bak-ing from me,” says Feduk. “But if I start selling it, it becomes a job. This way, it’s a hobby. I’d really rather not sell it.”

Feduk is equally generous with his recipes, his expertise, and his time.

“A lot of the recipes I use are from a cook book, and my chocolate chip cookie recipe is the one on the back of the Baker’s Chocolate Chip bag. I might change something to taste, but for the most part, I measure.”

“When I was learning, I would ask people ques-tions, so why wouldn’t I do that for someone else?”

“I’ve had some people come to my house to learn how to make perogies and three girls from our offi ce came over to learn how to make pies.”

Recently, Feduk visited Moose Mountain Lodge residents for a pie-making demonstration, where he delighted residents with his extra-large mixing bowl. “I got it from the man’s toy store: Princess Auto,” says Feduk of the silver hubcap he uses as a bowl. “And it lets me make enough dough for four covered pies.”

Feduk is currently experimenting with some gluten-free goodies “for the daughter of a guy I work with,” and says, “It’s a challenge and you have to be very careful about cross-contamination in the kitchen. And gluten-free isn’t as good as regular baking. But for someone who can’t have it at all, it’s good.”

With some baking commitments already stretching into the summer, Feduk says, “Why do I do this? I bake because I like to see the expression on people’s faces when I give them stuff .”

“It’s not the baking so much; it’s the giving.”

The Cornerstone Theatre group hosted another successful retelling of “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. With three shows (Friday, Dec. 4, Saturday, Dec. 5, and Sunday, Dec. 6) the community and visitors to the area fi lled Memorial Hall with sold out shows each day. The modern retelling of the story, “A Christmas Carol: The Real Story,” included a Charles Dickens (Fred Perry) who shook his head as the story took diff erent twists while keeping the original meaning. With modern songs being performed and modern language used, Dickens humourously shook his head as he listened, disappointed how portions were even left out. At one point he asked why Scrooge (Lane Easton) did not walk home from work, describing how Scrooge pauses at the door and sees Marley’s face in the door knocker. Joining Perry and Easton on stage were, Brayden Hill, Kyle Bye, Craig Savill, Beth Peters, David Slykhuis, Denise Singleton, Paul Twietmeyer, Don Carter, Naomi, Twietmeyer, Bryanne Fortier, Karsyn Gervais, Leola Hirtle, Jesse Twietmeyer, Nicole Gervais, Megan McAuley, Laurie Fornwald, Kirsten East, Hunter Colpitts, Rayanne

Cornerstone presents “The Real Story” of “A Christmas Carol”

Poirier, Bryanne Fortier, Diane Twietmeyer, Eryn Dickison, and Tory Poirier. The retelling of the story opened with Marley (Paul Twietmeyer) found laying face down, what looked like murder, but the investigating detective stated it was an accident, which seemed quite odd to the deputy in addition to the detective all of a sudden having expensive things. The sole benefactor of Marley’s estate was Scrooge, who quite happily was on the receiving end. Laughs rumbled through the hall as the Spirit of Last Wednesday stopped by at the wrong house, apologized, and said he might be back next Wednesday, maybe. The musical theatre performance showcased amazing talent from the area with numerous singers belting out a variety of tunes throughout the show. The play was directed by Colleen Easton, with Dianne Twietmeyer, Michele Amy, and Lane Easton as the musical directors. The band included Terry Fraser, Michele Amy, Claude Poirier, Liam Easton, Dave Martel, Pierre Tinani, and Paul Twietmeyer. As always, the performance was very much enjoyed and had people commending the small theatre group which continually reimagines and brings new life to the classic Dickens story.

The Cratchitts talk about visiting Ugly Tim.

The Bargain Shop! and Cornerstone Family and Youth (CFY) are partnering this year to collect toys for children in the local area. Together they are looking for support from the community to accomplish this. In the past The Bargain Shop! has partnered with other businesses and have donated the toys to a charity, but what they noticed was that charity focused heavily on cities and The Bargain Shop! in Carlyle wanted to fi nd a way to help bring holiday cheer to local youth, as there are children in need around here as well. “We have a total of 85 registered to receive gifts this year from Carnduff to Oxbow up to Ochap over to Forget, really all across the southeast,” Shannon McLeod, the manager of The Bargain Shop! explained. “All we ask is for a family that can, to give an extra gift this season. We know not everyone is

Christmas is a time for givingable to, but if they have the means it would mean a lot. Or if an organization in town has the means we would welcome that too.” “We also don’t want to exclude anybody, so if anyone knows of someone in need let us know, it’s completely confi dential. Individuals can call The Bargain Shop! and groups can call Jenn [Sedor].” This is the last couple of days for their fundraising and on Friday, Dec. 4, they still had a ways to go, but McLeod said that no matter what they would fi nd a way. “Cash donations, toy donations, even toques and scarves that we could put in with the toy is welcome,” McLeod said. “Extra toonies and loonies, it doesn’t have to be much, but every little bit helps.” “I’ll pick bottles on the side of the road if I have to, but we’re not going to say no to anybody.” They are also looking for volunteers on Tuesday, Dec. 15, for a Wrapping Party, where currently CFY and The Bargain Shop! will be wrapping the presents bought through the fund raising eff ort.

This year The Bargain Shop! and Cornerstone Family and Youth have partnered in fundraising e� orts to bring toys to local children this Christmas.Capital Recreation & Culture Funding

An oath is an oath

The sweetest of houses

Kelly RunningObserver Staff

Shelley Luedtke

ObserverThe


When the Brothers Grimm wrote the tale of the siblings who stumble upon a house made entirely of treats, the popularity of gingerbread houses soared, yet the tradition dates back well before Hansel & Gretel made their mark.

The fi rst known recipe for gingerbread, according to The History Kitchen of PBS, came from Greece in 2400 BC. Euro-peans developed their own ver-sion of the dough by the Middle

Ages. The cookies, which were often gilded with gold leaf became a staple at Medieval fairs, some of which came to be known as Gingerbread Fairs. Queen Elizabeth 1 had grand ideas for dressing up the cookies and over time elaborately decorated gingerbread became synonymous with all things fancy and elegant in England.

Though most historians credit the English with being the fi rst to bake and sell gingerbread, they weren’t the fi rst to market the popular treat. An Armenian monk was the one who brought gin-gerbread to Europe and taught the skill to priests. Monasteries were widely known as the place to buy gingerbread. When the unique treat landed in Britain and began being painted, its placement in shop windows contributed to its rise in popularity. Elaborate displays featuring houses and cottages became beloved around the Christmas season. My sister and I made gingerbread houses as teen-agers and continued the tradition when we were university students since it was a great transitional activity between the pressure of fi nal exams and the enjoyment of the Christmas break. I liked attaching Smarties to the peaked roof while my sister’s steady hand was in charge of piping icing to create windows, doorways and eaves. Once all the decorations were in place and solidly iced, the customary fi nishing touch of powdered sugar was sifted over the masterpiece to give the appearance of a fresh snowfall.

It was a fun activity we enjoyed together and one I was delighted to share with my children when I became a mom. Their favourite part was supplementing the treats that came with the kit--to the point where the house sunk under the weight.

Sticky fi ngers, sparkling eyes and huge smiles meant the task had been a success--even if the structure itself was less so.

That Armenian monk, Queen Elizabeth 1, or any of the thousands of bakers who modifi ed and perfected their recipes over the centuries, or even those Brothers Grimm and their popular tale, couldn’t have known what their eff orts would eventually become, or that millions upon millions of gingerbread cookies, men and houses would be baked, decorated and consumed each year. But there’s more.

While they were busily perfecting recipes and stories; children, and the adults who work along-side them, have learned some important things while fabricating the structure and fashioning its decor. We fi rst learn how important it is to have a solid foundation. Adding the roof or chimney to wall pieces whose edges aren’t thoroughly iced or dry, makes for an unstable structure. You can’t move ahead until stability is achieved. It’s also where patience is honed. You might be waiting for gingerbread to cook, or to cool, or for icing to harden and hold the house together before taking the next step. The more patient we are the more successful the venture will be. At the right time, the decorating can begin and that is where the freedom to create is unleashed. Watch as little imagina-tions turn licorice into fence railings, M&M’s into Christmas lights, and stacked gumdrops into snow-men. Of course in all the designing, building and decorating, mistakes will happen. What a great moment that can be--because with a little eff ort it can be fi xed. We learn to try again, attempt some-thing from a diff erent angle and listen to the advice of those who have experience in this area. Which of course brings us to the teamwork, cooperation and hopefully spirited laughter and satisfi ed smiles experienced by the millions worldwide who gather around kitchen counters to put together this year’s creation.

All that from a recipe of sugar, butter, fl our, molasses, ginger and a smattering of other ingre-dients. It is the starting point of what can become a structure that holds laughter in its shutters, ex-perience in its foundation, history in its walls, and ingenuity in its craftsmanship--just like the coziest of any of our houses.

That’s my outlook.

I often read CBC news online to get my national and international news. Recently I came across an article titled, “New Canadian to renounce oath of allegiance to Queen Elizabeth.”

Now as most of you know I’m very much for Canada be-ing the accepting nation it is touted to be, however, in certain instances my mind does scream out, “No.” And this article was

one of them.The article focused on an Israeli man who has

lived in Canada for 13 years and is set to go through his citizenship ceremonies, which includes an Oath of Allegiance to the Queen. The individual opposes the oath and calls it “repulsive;” he will be formally reneging this portion of the ceremony following it.

This, to me, is unacceptable. Having a fond-ness for history, I personally quite like the link to the royals, it’s part of what makes Canada its own, separating it from the United States; but, whether you’re a devoted royalist, you simply don’t mind having a Queen, or you feel the royals are an ar-chaic, outdated system.

Currently, since there’s been no democratic attempt to change this, you have to respect the fact that the Queen is our offi cial head of state. Becom-ing Canadian does come with it the fact that we are part of the British Commonwealth and I don’t feel as though you can be a citizen of Canada without accepting this on some level. “God Save the Queen” is played at many ceremonies, however, I personal-ly do not know all the words, but I chime in where I can and I know why it’s played.

By not understanding why the oath is included means that the individual doesn’t understand the history of Canada and doesn’t really understand what it means to be Canadian.

There were issues recently surrounding a woman wanting to wear a niqab during her citi-zenship ceremony. She was verifi ed that she was who she said prior to the ceremony and in Canada we have freedom of religion, to me that was no big deal, and I wrote a column about why it was a non-issue. However, I do have an issue that this man is planning on saying an oath, something that is required of him to become a Canadian, and then taking it back.

In fact, oath is defi ned as “a formal and serious promise to tell the truth or to do something.” By reneging on the Oath of Allegiance to the Queen, I feel as though he broke his promise to being a Canadian citizen. Oaths aren’t meant to be broken and since pledging loyalty to the Queen is a re-quirement to becoming a Canadian retracting their oath means they are going back on their entire oath of accepting becoming a Canadian.

At the very core of the matter, however, I like people who stand by their word and to me an oath is a serious declaration. So, by saying it and then taking it back just doesn’t seem to be right.

If he doesn’t want to recognize the Queen as the head of state, then perhaps he should become an American instead. Although we are considered an open and accepting country by the majority of the world, we still have our own traditions, which, until changed by our democratically elected gov-ernment are relevant, this includes this oath and oaths aren’t meant to be broken.

Even the French came to accept the British royals as their head of government, a task that would not have been easy for them to do as they were enemies, but they did. They took the oath and it has endured, they kept it. So, why does someone think they can say the oath and then formally take it back after becoming a Canadian citizen other than they likely don’t know our history as a nation.

Seeing things differently . . .Season’s Greetings?Merry Christmas

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

Through the LensMoose Mountain Photography Club

“I enter the world called real as one enters a mist.”

- Julien Green




It’s that time of year again, do we say “Merry Christmas,” “Happy Holidays,” or simply avoid any allusions to it being Christmas time at all?

Well, my question to you is this, even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, how is it off ensive for someone to wish you good tidings for the season by saying Merry Christmas?

They’re wishing you well. Maybe you’re an atheist, Muslim, or are Jewish, but regardless of your religion or lack-there-of how is it insulting for someone to wish you merriment?

Canada was founded as a Christian country, the British were mostly Anglican and the French were mostly Catholics, while Protestants dotted the landscape as well, but the majority of people this nation was founded upon were Christian.

Today our holidays surround Christian holy days and this includes Christmas. What days off do most people have in December? Christmas Day. So, by saying Happy Holidays people are referring to Christmas anyways - which if we’re being picky holiday is actually a contraction of “holy day” so that’s inappropriate as well if Christmas is inap-propriate.

If someone were in the spirit of the season and wished me a Happy Hanukkah would I be of-fended? Not in the least, they were wishing me well during a time that is important to them. The same as Christmas greetings, people are simply wishing each other well during an important time for them. Whether they’re a Santa-focused Christmas group, a religious-focused Christmas group, or if they are focused on Christmas being a time of giving, they’re simply wishing you merriment.

Since, merriment is the message being spread, how then can Merry Christmas be considered of-fensive? Unless, that is, you’re against people wish-ing joy to the world specifi cally in December.

So, to everyone out there this holiday season, Merry Christmas, I wish you a wonderful month and good tidings in the New Year.

So here’s the deal: Even though we live in a world where medieval barbarism is indiscrimi-nately unleashed upon the innocent, where racism still rears its ugly head and where (especially in this area, this year) job losses and economic uncer-tainty are aff ecting so many people, why, oh why do we still insist on arguing about a simple greeting during what is supposed to be the season of peace and goodwill?

Every year, this debate surfaces (I’m look-ing at you, Facebook), and every year it remains unresolved, ready to resurface just in time for next year’s Christmas season, because-according to the Holy Bible, no less-we insist upon honouring the letter of the law, rather than the spirit of the law.

If we greet someone in the spirit of seasonal goodwill or if we receive a greeting wishing us well, does it really matter if the greeting is ‘Merry Christ-mas’ or something else?

In modern parlance, I self-identify as a Chris-tian (see: work in progress). And I wholeheartedly disagree with the watering down of Christmas (for those of us who celebrate it), but I also think it shouldn’t be used as a tool in the us versus them wars, simply because that is not in keeping with the true spirit of the season. Nor does it refl ect well on the guy whose birth we Christians are supposed to be celebrating...

As someone who has spent a few Christmases in the belly of the seasonal beast-both as a shop-per and as a retail employee-I’ve witnessed both sides of this debate fi rsthand, as I’m sure most of us have.

There’s the lady I saw who kindly wished a harried cashier a ‘Merry Christmas’ and in return, received a sharp rebuke regarding the store staff -er’s spiritual leanings, accompanied by a touching sermonette on tolerance (oh, the irony...). And on the other side, I’ve also seen a smiling someone wish a fellow shopper ‘Happy Holidays’ only to re-ceive a lecture about the greeter’s lack of Christmas spirit (more irony)...

I agree that currently, our culture seems to be overrun by grievance collectors ready to take of-fence at the slightest (usually unintentional) provo-cation. But does this mean we should join them? I don’t think so. And once again, it’s because the guy whose birth we’re honouring gave us an example that’s better than that.

As we’re all struggling and stumbling through this world-and Christmas season- together, why don’t we all cut each other some seasonal slack and assume the best of each others’ greetings and good wishes?

So in that spirit, I wish you all a Merry Christ-mas and/or Happy Holidays-but most of all, “on earth peace and good will toward men.” (Luke 2:14).

And please, let’s assume that St. Luke meant women and children, too!

Dickens Festival is always a busy weekend in Carlyle and this year, as they’ve done in years past, the Carlyle Curling Club hosted Saskatchewan Women’s Curling Tour (SWCT) Bonspiel from Friday, Dec. 4, to Sunday, Dec. 6. The bonspiel saw eight teams come together to compete. Last year there were a total of 12 teams participating, but Kristen Sauter said that with a new format in the SWCT and a qualifying bonspiel in Estevan the weekend of Dec. 11 to 13. Originally they were worried that they wouldn’t get enough teams to hold the bonspiel, but a couple of teams decided to join last minute which meant the event could go on. “We really like holding it on Dickens weekend,” Sauter said. “There’s just so much going on in town and the Main Street all decorated looks so good, and the women who come down very much enjoy it. So, we are planning on hosting our third annual bonspiel next year during Dickens weekend.” Heading into the competition the top three teams were Penny Barker’s team holding fi rst with 17 points in the SWCT standings, while Kim Schneider trailed with 13 points, and Mandy Selzer following with 10 points. A total of eight teams competed at the Carlyle Spiel where fi rst place was earned by Selzer’s team, which includes local curler Sauter from Kenosee, coming in second place was Barker’s team, and fi nishing in a 3/4 split were Shalon Fleming and Amber Holland. Leading the pack this year in the SWCT Standings is Barker’s team with 24 points, fi nishing

second in the SWCT standings was Selzer’s team with 20 points, and Patty Hersikorn is currently in third provincially with 15 points. Other local curlers participating included Natalie Bloomfi eld of Carlyle, Kristy Johnson of Wawota. Additionally, Amber Holland (Kent and Myrla Holland’s daughter) brought a team together for the bonspiel to help bolster numbers when it was thought the event may have to be cancelled.

Well it was a “Dickens” of a weekend for the Pee Wee Cougars. Our local team played four games and unfortunately lost all four, however, they have begun to work better as a team and dig harder to prove their worth. Two of the games were lost by only 1 point. They had a tough fought game against Oxbow Saturday morning and lost 8 to 4. They then played Yorkton Saturday afternoon and after 1 period it was 2 to 1 and that was the fi nal score after 2 more tough fought periods of Hockey. Goaltending by Logan ROMANIUK held us in this game with coaching support by Zane WINTERS who is on the “Injured Reserve” list. Sunday we started off slow against Estevan, however, fi nally woke up and played the 3rd like it was supposed to be played and gave up only 1 point in a 7 nothing loss.

Pee Wee Cougars host tournament It was then the “D” Final against Ochapowace where we were actually ahead by 2 points, however, during the last 5 minutes there was a little bit of panic and fl oundering which resulted in a loss. It was more of a team eff ort with 5 goals being scored by 4 diff erent players. This showed our strength is quite evenly divided amongst all the players and to succeed we must play as a team. The “C” Final was a barn burner with Weyburn winning 3 to 2 in a shootout. The fans were at the edge of their seats, or at their wits end. Good hockey for sure. The “B” Final had Melville winning 1 to 0. Another close game with the fans again getting a good show.The “A” Final has Assiniboia defeating Oxbow 4 to 3. The Pee Wee Cougars appreciate the Carlyle businesses and community for once again supporting our tournament.

�ank YouDickens 2015 is now part of history. What a success, and what a weekend it was! The weather couldn’t have been better. The Board of Rusty Relics Museum would like to acknowledge the organizers of the festival for their countless hours of planning, decorating and creating a rich festive atmosphere. The lights, the decorations, the entertainment, the food, the parade, the carriage rides, the street urchins, the pancake breakfast with Santa, and the hospitality were phenomenal. To all the participants, the performers, the many volunteers and supporters who made this annual festival such a huge success, we extend our sincere thanks and appreciation.

Arcola off ers a new spin on fi tness, thanks to Ghislaine Carter’s Rev Cycle & Fitness. Carter off ers indoor cycling classes on the eight new stationary bikes at her new studio south of town, and says: “Many people are both intrigued and apprehensive regarding indoor cycling. But I encourage them all to try something new. With indoor cycling, you’re in control of your own workouts and you start at a level that’s appropriate for you.” Carter and Mandy Rushfeldt are Rev’s instructors, and Carter adds: “The fi rst class is free, so there’s nothing to lose and everything to gain.” Much like a traditional aerobics class, Carter leads the class from her bike and gently instructs and encourages, accompanied by an upbeat musical soundtrack; and she concludes the class by distributing cold towels infused with essential oils. “ We’ll even take (musical) requests,” she laughs. “But what I really want to stress is that I am there to instruct and encourage. I encourage exercise as a way of loving and appreciating the body you have and maintaining health and fi tness.” “My job is to motivate and to encourage people to push themselves,” says Carter. “The ‘drill sergeant’ is the little voice that comes within themselves-making them work harder and forcing them to go beyond their comfort zone to get the best and most eff ective workout.” Carter says she will encourage-but never force-a participant to go beyond their comfort zone. “After the fi rst class I taught, one girl stated that her legs were a little shaky. That tells me that she worked hard and pushed herself in class. But I would never adjust the tension on the bike for any participant. She did that all on her own.” “Indoor cycling is pure cardio and it’s something everyone can benefi t from and enjoy, men included,” adds Carter. “The exercises and drills performed in class are athletic and cardio-based, focusing on speed, power and endurance.” Participant Michelle Cundall agrees, saying: “Ghislaine and I were in a bike race when she told

me she was thinking of opening up an indoor cycling studio. I told her to go for it.” “You work to your own level of fi tness, you control the resistance, and the bikes are so user-friendly.” “I went to a studio in Regina when I lived there,” adds Cundall. “There’s only one there, so to have a studio here in Arcola is awesome.” Personal trainer Laurie James says, “For me, as a personal trainer, it’s great to change it up. It’s great to have this in our area.” Carter says a water bottle and a yoga mat are all a student needs to attend a class. “Hydration is really important,” she says. “And it’s best to wear comfortable, form-fi tting shorts or pants and a light, breathable top. And of course, your favourite running shoes!” Information on class schedules, cost, and gift card purchases can be found on the studio’s Facebook page at Rev Cycle & Fitness, or by calling or texting (306)-575-9983. “You can also book your spot in class via the Mindbody Connect app, for Android or iPhone,” adds Carter. “But if you don’t want to go that route, call me and we’ll get you in a class.” “Life is so busy,” she says. “It’s hard to set aside time for ourselves-particularly those who have children. I am looking into creating a class specifi cally for busy moms, one that provides childcare. We’ll be getting our sweat on while the children are cared for and playing together.” “I’m excited about off ering indoor cycling, because health is your greatest asset,” says Carter. “I had a participant tell me she left the studio

in a far better mood than when she arrived,” she says. “I felt that was one of the greatest compliments ever.” “My goal is for people to feel happiness and a sense of accomplishment when they leave the studio. It’s all about them. People purchase rides with their hard-earned money and they carve time out of their busy schedules to come to my classes. My hope is that everyone leaves feeling as if that were time and money well spent.” Or as Candace Dionne says, “I love it. It’s my new addiction.” “It’s 45 minutes of awesome.” Rev Cycle & Fitness is located three miles south of Arcola on Highway 604. The approach is located on the north side of the bridge. For more information, check out Rev Cycle & Fitness on Facebook or call (306)-575-9983.

This year’s High Tea ‘Hat Lady’ was Beverley

Thompson of White Bear Lake. “This year,

we’ve had a lot of people who’ve never

attended the Dickens Festival before,” says

Thompson. “From the quilts decorating the

church, to Irene Doty’s hat collectuion, to the

tea itself; they’re just amazed.”

Harpist Sharon Elliot of Weyburn entertained attendees at the Dickens Festival High Tea at Carlyle United Church.

Dickens volunteer Don Carter of Carlyle was one of the hosts at Fezziwig’s Pub during Carlyle’s Dickens Village Festival.

Edna and Herman Fornwald once again delighted Dickens crowds with free carriage rides throughout the weekend.

Street urchins Tiana Delalleau and Ciara Corrigan collected cash on behalf of the Carlyle Skating Club during the town’s Dickens Village Festival.

Kenosee Lake’s Jackie Doty was one of the many vendors at the Dickens Festival’s English Market, and said, “It’s great to be part of, and to experience Dickens.”

The Carlyle detachment of the RCMP responded to over 110 fi les between Friday, Nov. 27, and Thursday, Dec. 3.

This included a string of break and enters and thefts from garages, sheds, and vehicles in Carlyle total-ling 12 reports on Nov. 30. Several items were stolen including a re-stricted fi rearm, which had not been properly secured. The vehicles and buildings accessed were not locked.

Members of the RCMP, following inves-tigation and assistance from the public, worked alongside the RCMP Police Dog Services and Carlyle RCMP Traf-fi c Services to execute a search warrant in a residence on White Bear First Nation on Thurs-day, Dec. 3.

Chevy, the police dog, and his handler were a good asset while executing the search warrant, S/Sgt. Darren Simons, said.

Located in rela-tion to the investiga-tion were a 51-year-old male, 19-year-old male, 18-year-old male, and 16-year-old male at the residence. Items were seized including the re-stricted fi rearm, which had been reported, and a second fi rearm was also located.

Investigation also led to the arrest of an 18-year-old male ar-rested at a nearby resi-dence.

They will be facing charges related to the search and seizure of the stolen property, as well as additional charg-es, most notably these are numerous failure to comply with release conditions.

Alida NewsSubmitted by Edel Cowan

Gary and Brenda Junk spent from November 24 – 30 visiting in Sylvan Lake, AB with their family Jody, Jill, Jaxon and Jace Junk, Kara, Rob and Morgan Applegate. On route to and from Alberta they also stopped in Regina to visit with Ken, Dina and Hayden Junk. Word was received of the death of Donna Moran (Alameda) on November 28, 2015. She had passed away at the Galloway Heath Centre, Oxbow. The Moran family had lived in Alida for ten years (1961-1971). Condolences are extended to her partner Butch Richardson and to her sons Murray

and Michael and their families. A formal funeral service will not be held. On December 1 Clint and Stacey Beriault had the misfortunate to have a fi re in their attached garage, however the fi re was contained to the garage and they were fortunate not to lose their home. Eleanor Harrison, Faye Walker, Gray and Edel Cowan attended the KeyM Christmas party at the home of Dellan and Donna Mohrbutter on December 1. They enjoyed the evening with other employees as well and a good time was had visiting with everyone. The Alida Housing Committee held their annual Christmas supper on December 3 at #361 Café. The committee members, their spouses and invited guests enjoyed a delicious supper and the visiting among friends.

On Friday, December 4 the RM counsel and employees had their Christmas supper at 361 Café where they also recognized long-time employees – Paul Poulsen who has now retired from the RM after 20 years of employment and Tim Cowan who has been employed for ten years. Debbie, Lori and Chris have been busy with catering to diff erent Christmas parties now that have been held at the #361 Café during the past week and most likely during the following weeks to come. Just remember folks – have a good time but do DRIVE safely when you are on your way home Dot Girard, Marion Fuller and Jean McClung (all from Redvers) came down Alida on December 4 to spend some time with family members and friends. They all enjoyed a lunch at #361 Café where they met up with Gloria Girard, Brenda Junk, Rozanne McClung, Shirley Bendtsen and

Glennis Peterson What an Evening!!! It was another HUGE success for the Alida Rec Board when they hosted their annual Christmas Fundraiser on Saturday December 5. It was a sell out with approximately 130 in attendance. Cocktails, appetizers, browsing among the auction items, making decisions as to where one should put their tickets and also deciding how much one should bid on a special item in hopes to be a winner, a very delicious beef supper and entertainment by ventriloquist Damien James were all enjoyed by everyone. Winners of the auction items were declared and announced bring the evening to an end. Some continued to stay and enjoy visiting among their friends. What great weather we’ve been having - it surely will shorten up the cold winter. Let’s hope it will last throughout the rest of December, especially during the holiday season. Christmas concerts and programs will be the next events for one to enjoy. Good luck to those who will be doing the entertaining – looking forward to these events. Alida’s Old Fashioned Christmas Concert is being planned for Friday, December 18 – hope to see you there. Also don’t forget Drama tickets GO ON SALE on Saturday morning at the hall, and then will be available at the grocery store (306-443-2444). Please remember to call me (306-443-2496) or text (306-485-8561) or e-mail ([email protected]) with your news – appreciate it. Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and Take care.

I don’t have much news this week. I guess everyone has been too busy to pass their news along. Here’s what I have... Sympathy to Gisele Holloway and family on the passing of her father, Alfred Revet. He passed away in the Souris Hospital on Nov. 28. He was 79 years old. His funeral service was held at Grande Clairiere on Nov. 28. Kay Dorrance spent a couple of weeks visiting with her daughter Norma Fenske and family in Saskatoon. Congratulations to Quin and Christine Kleiboer on the birth of a daughter on Nov. 16. She weighed 7 lbs 10 oz and has been named Thea Frances. Congratulations to Kent and Kim Brown on the birth of a son on Nov. 27. He weighed 9 lbs and has

been named Kyler Lincoln. Larry and Kathy Restau and Vicki of Calgary were in Wawota for a few days last week checking on their rental properties. Word has been received of the passing of Donna (Renauld) Moran of Oxbow. She was 77 years old and the daughter of Emile and Hazel Renauld. No formal funeral service will be held. In the last few weeks there has been a Museum Tea and Bake Sale, Santa Claus Evening with a wagon ride, a movie and a visit from St. Nick, shopping and munchies at several businesses, a Christmas party at the Free Methodist Church and a White Gift Service at the United Church on the second Sunday of Advent.

I was looking for a quote to begin my day - (The happy way to be happy is to make others happy). The phone rang and a very good friend that I haven’t seen for some time phonedóis it alright if I come over for coff ee - my morning lit up immediately. All the things that have been taking place around our country side have been something all residents of the towns and communities need to be proud of. There have been so many celebrations - I hear Kipling had an excellent evening with their play on the weekend as well as the Home Town Christmas in Kennedy featuring Eli Barsi and Lizzy Hoyt - (two people won the guitars Eli had for door prizes, one going to Darcey Wagar of Kenosee Lake and the other to Marg Barta of Kipling, both evenings were attended, and all the folks that made it possible to have the Carlyle Dickens festival again, the High Tea is always interesting to attend and the Cornerstone Theatre play is always very entertaining. David and Heather McMillan arrived home from spending some time in Ontario with family. Saint Anne’s C.W.L. held their last meeting of

the year on Thursday evening. The highlight was that Zita Sandor has been a member of the League for the past 70 years. A number of ladies

from Kennedy attended the Christmas supper at the Church of Christ on Monday evening. The decorations and hospitality are great along with the delicious food and entertainment this year Simmonne Boutin of Carlyle played her violin.Everyone went home with a gift and everyone brought food for the food bank, once again thinking of someone else. Tuesday night the Kennedy Figure Skating Club catered to about 60 persons enjoying a delicious turkey supper at the Kennedy Friendship Centre. There were many door prizes handed out and the music was Jim Cairns, Charlie Easton, David McMillan and Cheryl Dubois, a very nice evening. On the weekend the Mazur family of Regina visited with Bob and Lois Brickley, Paul and Zita Sandor. Friday and Saturday Micheal and Cindy West attended the Hockey Regina Female Challenge where their daughter coaches two hockey teams, granddaughters Baily McMaster plays with the Adam Capitals and Keeley plays with Novice Carpars. Both teams won the bronze medals, great grandma Ada Cancade and Aunt Carol West were also in attendance for this special time with the McMaster family. Gloria Rupert of Montmartre spent the weekend with George and I, being able to take in some of the events going on during the weekend.
