Three racers of each event were auctioned off with the chance of winning a percentage of the pot if their driver took fi rst place.

One of the racers this year, Riley Raynard a young man from Lamp-man, was excited to be in Manor for the last races of the season.

“I’ve been out there for one, the track is pretty good, it was a little greasy, but that’ll catch up the more it’s driven on,” Ray-nard said. “It’s going pret-ty good out there so far, I fi nished second in my fi rst heat.”

Although Raynard didn’t come away with a win at the Eagle Show-down, he has had a great season at the Estevan track this year fi nishing as run-ner up in points for cham-

pion.Raynard also explained

that he had travelled down to Boone, Iowa to compete at the IMCA Super Nation-als earlier this year which was a great experience.

“It’s one of the biggest shows, there’s over 700 cars and over 500 classes,” Raynard said. “I even won a b-mains down there, which is like a feature, but with fewer cars.”

Although disappointed he blew a tire in the fea-ture, he was happy for his fellow Lampman racing buddy, Leevi Runge, who earned the win in the Hob-by Stock event.

The Street Stocks were up next with Garry Goudy Jr. of Stoughton taking fi rst place.

Modifi ed Stocks, with a mandatory pit-stop and fuel mid-way through. Excitement was in the air as the race e n s u e d

which erupted into loud cheering as local racer Joey Galloway of Manor earned fi rst place.

“The day went really well, it was good, there were lots of people who showed up and our car count was down a little bit, but there were a lot of other events on throughout the States and there was one over in Kindersley,” Galloway said. “But over-all it went really good.”

Galloway added that the win at the Big Eagle track comes with a high-ly successful season for the team, as Masen and

Jett BigEagle along with himself have brought

home quite a few trophies this year: “The season has been really good, I race with Masen and Jett, and this year we raced 23 nights and won 16 or 17 races, so it’s been a very good year for us.”

The Powder Puff race was a new feature this year.

“We decided to do it because of there was talk in the area wanting a girls race, there’s a few who race weekly and we just decided to throw in an extra race last weekend to give them that option.”

In the end Lindsey Wag-

ner of Weyburn took fi rst place in the ladies’ class.

The ac-tion con-cluded and a crowd later re-turned for a cabaret

that evening with Ten Mile High enter ta in-

ing the crowd.

Overall the day was once again thoroughly en-joyed by all in attendance, while the Manor Fire De-partment benefi ted from the generosity of those in the crowd.

The event is hosted by the Big Eagle and Gallo-way families, with help in the form of great support from the community and surrounding area with par-ticipants, fans, and volun-teers offering to help.

Final numbers raised for the Fire Department are still being determined, but it was once again a great success.

by Glen KirbyFrom 400 horsepower street cruisers to woody-side

panelled stations wagons to hot-rod trucks and motorcy-cles, last weekend’s car show in Souris featured vehicles of all makes, colours, and styles.

According to organizers with the Souris Crescent Cruisers car club, 67 vehicles were displayed at the Show-and-Shine in Victoria Park, including more than 30 from surrounding communities.

“The cars are the cars but the attraction is the people,” said Chuck Wilsone from Killarney, relaxing in the shade beside his mint green ‘41 De Soto classic. “I can drive to a car show in any small town and not know any-body there and leave with a bucketful of new friends.”

“True,” laughed Brad Johnston, parked next to Wil-sone with his 63-1/2 Ford Galaxy XL. “You seldom find [a jerk] with a great car.”

“Great cars and great weather made for a perfect day,” said Scott Murray, a Cruisers club member with a Corvette, hot-rodded Fargo truck and restored ‘38 Ford on display. “We got to see a few new cars that guys have been working on or just purchased, so that’s always fun.”

Among the chrome and steel glinting in the autumn sun were Mopar muscle cars including a red 440 Char-ger, ‘70 Plymouth GTX and a hemi-orange ‘71 Dodge

Challenger recently purchased for $30,000 by Souris resident Felix Boulanger.

“When I was young, I always liked the look of these cars,” says Boulanger. “Two years ago, I started look-ing on-line and found this one in Illinois. That was a mistake, maybe,” he laughs.

George and Marley Melnychuk drove in from Alexan-der with their new acquisition - a blue-green ‘67 Beetle ‘bug’ with the roof chopped off for true summertime travelling. “It had been parked in a barn and hadn’t ran for 17 years,” says George. “We threw in some gas and it fired right up. Amazing!”

Spectators were free to walk among vehicles lined up on the grass in the Park’s bowl area, including two-seat imported sports cars and domestic station wagons with room for more than a dozen passengers. A pink

and white Ford Crown Victoria gleamed alongside a blacked-out sedan.

Nic Peters and Chantal Quennelle, newcomers to Souris from Dauphin, were impressed with the turnout and talked of one day having their own street rod.

“I grew up watching the Dukes of Hazzard on TV. I love the Dodge muscle cars. Eventually, I’d like to restore my own. They built cars a lot better back then,” said Peters.

The Show-and-Shine was the last event of the season for the Souris Crescent Cruisers. Murray said members are talking about adding a barbecue next year and pos-sibly holding a similar event earlier in the summer.

“Over the winter, we’ll find out what other car shows are planned for this area in 2016 and try to pick an open date that will allow other clubs to attend,” said Murray.

The September issue of Border Connection included a story on Brooke Widdup of Kipling in, “A beauty that lasts,” it was misstated that the grade 10 student won the Miss Teen Canada Globe 2015 competition. Widdup was in fact the third princess at the competition, although she did win Miss Teen Saskatchewan Globe 2015 in order to attend the national competition.

Correction to articlein last month’s edition

Private donation aimedat reducing response time

by Terri EgerDuring an emergency, time is critical. The faster emer-

gency personnel arrive at the scene the better.“Time is usually of the essence,” agreed Kelly Mc-

Mechan, District #3 EMS Manager for Prairie Mountain Health.

In a letter to the editor printed in the September 4 edi-tion of the Melita New Era, concerned citizens, Elsie Reddaway and Sandra Currie, explained that it took one hour and five minutes for an ambulance to reach them 10 kilometres from Melita. The writers of the letter were hoping to draw attention to the fact that the long response time could be prevented and urged fellow citizens to contact members of the Health Board with their personal stories.

Conversations in the community continued onto so-cial media regarding the fact that not all ambulances are equipped with GPS systems, thus potentially slowing their response time. Based on his experience in the local oil field, Melita resident Danial Forster put out a request to the community asking for donations toward a GPS sys-tem and OilTrax Software.

The software is designed to find remote oil batteries using section, township and range land descriptions in rural areas.

“GPS systems aren’t a standard piece of equipment in the ambulances,” Forster said. “The oil field uses them all the time and with OilTrax, they work great. Not every intersection is labeled in the rural areas and the faster we can get emergency personnel to the site the better.”

Forster’s appeal to the community was heard by Pam and Jaimie Bajus who donated both the GPS unit and the OilTrax software to the local ambulance recently.

There are nine ambulances in District 3 which includes Melita and a total of 54 ambulances throughout the Prai-rie Mountain Health region. McMechan confirmed that GPS equipment is not available in every unit and those that have been purchased in the past have been through private donations.

“We appreciate their donation very much,” he said.Emergency personnel are equipped with detailed maps

of the area and staff are educated on reading maps with section, township and range information, according to McMechan. He sees the GPS technology as a useful tool to be used with traditional maps. While experienced staff may be more familiar with traditional maps, he agrees that new staff may find the GPS easier and faster to use.

“If it’s easy to use and the operator can use it quickly in an emergency, it can be a very useful tool,” he said.

While area citizens often know their personal home location by section, town-ship and range numbers, they don’t always know the numbers associated with other land in the area or if they come across an acci-dent, they might not know the exact coordinates.

“A caller will gener-ally provide us with road directions saying they are so many miles south of a certain corner,” said Mc-Mechan. The addition of numbered road signs in the area has helped pinpoint locations during an emer-gency.

McMechan also ex-plained that the Medical

Transportation Co-ordination Centre provides emergen-cy personnel with maps containing landmarks that either still exist or that local people are familiar with. For exam-ple, an elevator that is actually no longer standing may be marked on the maps because it is something local people would refer to as a direction point.

“The dispatcher and the local ambulance driver are both looking at the same map to find the location,” said McMechan.

While ambulances usually are being dispatched within their own community, the MTCC will dispatch the clos-est ambulance to any given call and if a unit is returning from a drop off it may be called to an emergency in the community it is passing through.

“The call could come in as you are going past a com-munity that you are less familiar with,” said McMechan, agreeing that the GPS units will be an asset in such cases.

During the past year, the number of paramedics in the community of Melita was increased from two to eight. The expansion ensured the community has coverage around the clock. As the staff becomes more familiar with the area, McMechan expects response times to decrease and he believes that the use of the GPS technology, to-gether with the traditional maps, will assist in that goal.

Forster is still on the lookout for additional GPS equip-ment and donations to purchase software.

“I think this equipment should be standard throughout Manitoba,” said Forster.

“If we can’t have doctors everywhere at least give us a fighting chance with a quick response time from emer-gency services.”

On behalf of Pam and Jaimie Bajus of Melita, Danial Forster (L) donating a GPS with OilTrax loca-tion software to Melita Ambulance employee Leeza Bencze.

CAA Saskatchewan reminds all motorists to plan ahead for their Thanksgiving long weekend travels. “We know that there will be an increase of motorists on our roadways travelling to be with their loved ones,” said Christine Niemczyk, Director of Communications with CAA Saskatchewan. She added, “Take the time to plan ahead and ensure your vehicle is roadworthy. We know that in Saskatchewan the weather can change quickly which can impact driving conditions. Be prepared: adjust your driving behaviour to the changing envi-ronments.”

Here are a few more safe driving tips: · Ensure your vehicle is in top working condition

with a full tank of fuel and properly infl ated tires (in-cluding the spare tire) to help with fuel effi ciency.

· Pack an emergency vehicle kit (fl ashlight, booster cables, tire puncture sealant, fi rst-aid kit, fl ares, drinking water, non-perishable food, cell phone with batteries and charger for emergency calls, etc.).

· Check your vehicle s belts and hoses. Just a little at-tention to these vital components can ensure your car is operating at its best.

· Also check the brakes, fl uid levels and battery. Today s vehicles have more electrical demands than ever and bat-

teries play an essential role in meeting those demands. · Allow extra time for travel and let others know your

route and ex- pected time of arrival.

· Check weather and road conditions before travelling. If conditions are poor, delay travel if possible.

· Check out www.getgasprices.ca for the lowest gas prices in Saskatchewan communities as well as in other

provinces. · All occupants must wear seat belts. Ensure children

are properly secured and that car seats and booster seats are installed correctly.

· Slow to 60 km/hr when passing tow truck operators and emergency personnel assisting motorists on Sas-katchewan highways and also in construction zones. Fail-

ing to do so is not only unsafe, but could also cost you a fi ne.

· Eliminate distractions and remember all Canadian provinces have banned the use of hand-held commu-nications devices behind the wheel. It’s unsafe and

strict penalties can also be applied. Drive now, text later. · Pull over when safe to do so, to use the mobile phone

or navigation system. Appoint a passenger as the naviga-tion or communications buddy so the driver can remain focused.

· Don t drink and drive. Appoint a designated driver.For automotive help visit a CAA Car Care Centre or an

Approved Auto Repair Service facility. Additional driv-ing tips and information are available at caask.ca/driver-safety. CAA Roadside Assistance is available 24/7, 365 days a year.

CAA Safe Driving Tips forthe Thanksgiving Long Weekend

The credit union movement began 160 years ago in Levis, Quebec, with a simple but radical idea. That with the help of your neighbours, you can improve your fi nan-cial well-being. Back then, in the 1900s, ordinary work-ing people had little access to the commercially centered banks. Organized locally, according to a co-operative model, credit unions provided Canadians urgently needed savings and lending services, at fair rates.

This idea spread across the world, and credit unions fl ourished, especially during times of economic hardship.

During the Great Depression, scores of ordinary Cana-dians—farmers, teachers, small business owners—found themselves without access to banking services, so they banded together to become their own fi nancial institution.

Credit unions opened in record numbers. The fi rst credit union in Manitoba was organized in

1937 by Father Benoit in the French farming community of St. Malo. Seven months later in the same year, Nor-wood Credit Union was founded in Winnipeg.

Following their example, people throughout Manitoba, drawn together through common ethnic, religious, pro-fessional or geographical affi liations, began founding credit unions in ever-increasing numbers. By 1939 there were 19 credit unions in Manitoba, with combined assets of $49,990 and 2,406 members.

From these humble beginnings, Manitoba credit unions have evolved over 78 years into modern, extremely com-petitive, successful fi nancial institutions with a collective

size of over $25 billion in assets, more than 190 branches and 3,500+ employees.

Even after all this time, the bedrock principles of credit unions remain unchanged. Credit unions are still:

People coming together to be their own bank, so no one can deny them a path to prosperity.

People pooling their savings to provide each other af-fordable credit.

People helping people. To celebrate this powerful movement and our coopera-

tive advantage, mark October 15th down on your Calen-dar and make a special point to stop by your local Credit Union that day .

Ron Rabe’s Dekalb Agronomist Notes: 23-60RY Soybeans offers a very high yielding, aggressive tall variety that matures early and has been proven in Western Manitoba.

It’s a fact – Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® soybeans produce more three-bean pods per plant and more beans per plant compared to original Roundup Ready soybeans.

Book Yours Today!

If you’re looking for higher yield and greater soybean agronomy, you’ve come to the right place.

We have information on the latest products, practices

and bene�cial agronomic insights.

Akras R2 is a new variety from Elite that has shown itself to be widely adapted and a top performer in trials. It is early

enough to be planted in Saskatchewan and further north in Manitoba and perform well. It has also outperformed many late maturing varieties in the Red River valley over the last 2 years of the MCVET1 trials. Akras R2 sets a new standard for pod height to make harvest easier and leave fewer beans on the ground. Plan on Akras R2 being a key part of your soybean rotation for years to come.

Choose the right costumeEnsure that your children are dressed appropriately for

Halloween.Look for costumes and accessories such as beards,

wigs, wings and tails that are labelled fl ame-resistant. Flowing skirts and capes, baggy sleeves and over-sized costumes can all be hazards around candles or fl ames.

Nylon or heavyweight polyester costumes are best. Remember, fl ame-resistant does not mean fi re-proof.

Pick brightly coloured costumes that can be clearly seen by motorists. Add refl ective tape to the costume to increase visibility.

Use make-up or face paint instead of masks - improp-erly fi tted masks can interfere with your child’s vision or breathing.

Before using face paint or make-up, do a patch test to see if your child is sensitive or allergic to something in the cosmetic. Even products labelled as “hypoallergenic” can still cause allergic reactions.

If you do choose a mask, make sure it fi ts properly and allows them to see and breathe easily.

Do not use contact lenses that change eye colour or create special effects because they can cause injury to a child’s eyes.

Avoid costumes that are too big or have long dan-gling pieces that children can trip over.

Ensure that toy weapons and similar accessories are made of soft or fl exible material. Hard or rigid costume accessories can cause accidents.

Choose costumes that fi t well and can be worn over warm clothing to protect your child against cold and wet weather.

Avoid danger when decorating

Stay vigilant for fi re hazards and prevent inju-ries while getting into the spirit of Halloween.

To avoid injuries, let children draw a face or design on the pumpkin and then have an adult carve it.

Candles, jack-o-lan-terns, lighters and matches are all fi re hazards. Place lighted candles and jack-o-lanterns away from cur-tains and other fl ammable objects, and do not leave them unattended. Instead of candles, consider using a small fl ashlight or bat-tery candle to light your jack-o-lantern.

Keep candles, matches, lighters and other fi re hazards in a place that children cannot reach.

Avoid using Halloween candles with multiple wicks. They can produce a large fl ame with intense heat that can ignite nearby materials like curtains and window sills.

Check indoor and out-door decorative lights for broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires or loose connections. Do not overload extension cords.

Make sure the lights are certifi ed by a recognized organization like the Ca-

nadian Standards Association (CSA) or the Underwrit-ers’ Laboratory of Canada (ULC).

Did you know?It is important to make your home safe for little ghouls

and goblins. Remove objects around the outside of your house that could cause children to trip or fall. Turn on your outdoor lights to increase visibility and let trick-or-treaters know they can visit.

Stay secure while trick or treatingKeep your children safe by teaching them to stay vis-

ible and to be aware of their surroundings.Go trick or treating with your children each year until

they are old enough to go with a friend.Give each child a fl ashlight to carry, to make them

more visible to motorists and others.Tell your children to stay in well-lit areas and only

visit homes that have their outside lights turned on. Make sure they know never to go inside homes or cars.

Teach your children to be careful when crossing the

street. Make sure they look both ways and only cross when no cars are coming. Cross streets at the corner, and never cross between parked cars.

Be cautious with candy and toysAlways examine the treats and toys that are brought

home before giving them to your children.Tell your children not to eat any treats until you have

looked them over.Be careful when giving children any treats that could

be potential choking hazards such as chewy candies, peanuts and hard candies.

Check toys or novelty items for small parts and do not let children under three years of age play with them.

By Kelly RunningIt was a day to commemorate in Stoughton on

Wednesday, Sept. 23, as Coderre Construction celebrat-ed 70 years of business and the grand opening of their new shop and offi ces.

As a young man Wilf Coderre joined the Canadian Air Force which worked alongside Britain’s Royal Air Force, during World War II. On his 13th mission the bomber plane he was on was shot down. Wilf was captured outside of Berlin by German forces and spent 17 months in a prison camp, being released when the war ended.

Upon returning to Stoughton, Wilf bought his fi rst truck and would begin the 70 year legacy of Coderre Construction with a three-tonne truck: “After the war I bought a three-tonne Ford truck,” Wilf explained.

His wife, Lucy, added, “The trucks weren’t available to just anybody; the guys coming back from the war were given special allowances.”

“When Dad was released from the camp, he had back pay coming, and it was with that money he bought the fi rst truck,” Kim Coderre, one of Wilf and Lucy’s sons, explained.

At the time trucks were hard to come by because the war effort had put a strain on metal and rubber for civil-ian use. Military personnel returning home were given the fi rst opportunity to buy these trucks as a way to help them reintegrate into society.

Shortly after returning and purchasing his truck, Wilf met Lucy: “I had been teaching in Forget,” Lucy remembers. “I didn’t know him before he left, but when he returned everybody knew him. He was the local hero.”

The pair fell in love and married, starting their family of three sons and two daughters soon after, the sons – Del, Kim, and Randy – now operate the business which has reached seven decades of service to the community.

“I started hauling fuel out of Regina for four or fi ve years, along with cattle and grain for farmers, and then I got into the gravel business,” Wilf explained. “Things just got bigger; I bought my second truck maybe three years after and then we added more trucks and more loaders over the years.”

“When I fi rst started hauling gravel, it was cement gravel, all I had was a shovel. I shovelled the load on the truck and then off, it was very hard work.”

Kim, another one of Wilf and Lucy’s sons, spoke of how hard Wilf worked stating, “Dad is the perfect

example of how hard work won’t kill you.”In the beginning Wilf says there was one gravel pit

north of Forget where he worked out of, but as time passed and the business grew, he explained his sons are now have multiple gravel pits they work out of.

A family legacy:Coderre Construction

celebrates 70 years of business

Chelsea Schindel, Town of Stoughton councillor, joined the Coderre Construction family for a ribbon cutting to offi cially mark the grand opening of their new building. Schindel also said a few words of congratulations to the amassed crowd celebrating 70 years of business for the family owned and operated company. From l –r: Randy and Jean Coderre, Kim Coderre, Del Coderre, Chelsea Schindel (Town of Stoughton councillor), and Lucy and Wilf Coderre.

The family business quickly grew, Lucy said, “I looked after the books, and I think we had 12 hired men by the time we retired.”

Wilf and Lucy both retired in 1985, but remained involved with the business that was dear to their hearts.

“We were very lucky to have three boys to continue on the business for sure,” Wilf and Lucy both said.

All three boys are involved with the company and en-joy working together, watching as their hard work builds on the hard work of their father.

“I’m very proud and humbled at the same time, and very happy,” Del Coderre explained. “Time flies. I never really imagined something like this as a teenager.”

Del has been with the company since he was 18-years-old and has loved every minute of it saying he grew up learning from his father: “I was in the vehicle with Dad since I was about two. I worked summer holi-days, probably since I was about 12, loading equipment out at the gravel pit. You see your Dad doing something and you become interested, I suppose if he had been a farmer, I would be interested in farming, it’s just one of those things.”

“I have no plans of retiring, I love it,” Del explained. “I love what I’m doing.”

It was the same for the other boys, Kim and Randy, although they both worked in Alberta for a time, they realized their hearts were in Stoughton with the business their father started.

“I returned in 1984, I was in Alberta for seven years then decided to come back,” Randy said. Explaining that helping his brothers and father reach the 70 year milestone is a great thing.

Kim returned in 1996 and has enjoyed every minute

of being back as well, “This is a real milestone and my hope is to be able to do this in another five years on the 75th anniversary of the business and celebrate Dad’s 100th at the same time.”

“The most awesome part about today is that Mom and Dad are still here with us to celebrate, there’s prob-ably one chance in a mil-lion that a business gets to celebrate its 70th year with their original sharehold-ers,” Del said.

“I want to thank every-one for coming out, we appreciate the great show of support by the commu-nity,” Kim said.

Del added, “We ap-preciate the town and surrounding area for com-ing out and we want to thank everyone here today because where would we be without our customers and staff? We have many long-term employees. All our staff is loyal and dedi-cated and we appreciate their contribution.”

Today Coderre Con-

struction employs 18 individuals including members of the Coderre family: Del, Kim, Randy, and Randy’s wife, Jean, who works as the office administrator, having taken over Lucy’s position when she and Wilf retired.

Not only were the Coderres celebrating 70 years of business with the community, but they happily cut a ribbon marking the official grand opening of their new shop.

“We needed more room,” Del said of the decision to expand. “We were in a 50 by 80 foot shop and needed more shop space and office space. We talked for about three years about how we should put something up… We finally decided we needed a new building…”

Half a year was spent on blue prints and having soil samples analyzed before winter arrived, from there it took two years for the building to come together.

“The other building has been converted into the weld-ing shop and we got moved in here in early December of 2014,” Del explained. “Everything’s worked out really well.”

“It’s nice to see everyone out here to celebrate the milestone of this business, 70 years,” Chelsea Schindel, councillor for the Town of Stoughton, said. “It’s nice to have Wilf and Lucy here with us, I bet they never would have thought to have seen their business reach the 70 year milestone. On behalf of Mayor Bill Knous and the Town of Stoughton, congratulations.”

An anniversary of great proportions the Coderre fam-ily was ecstatic to be able to share their success with the community and surrounding area.

By Lynne BellBrittany Dalziel-owner of Carlyle’s Lotus Tree Well-

ness and Healing-says, “The name of the business combines some of the symbology of the tree of life and Buddhism. Some of the attributes of the tree of life are healing, rejuvenation and sustenance. The lotus is a beautiful fl ower that blooms in muddy water. The fl ower can serve as a metaphor for people, inspiring them to rise above.”

The registered massage therapist and yoga practioner adds: “We’re here to treat chronic and acute pain and help our clientele achieve optimal comfort in their daily living. We also strive to educate and guide our patients in making informed decisions about their health con-cerns through a natural, holistic approach to healthcare.”

“I’ve always been interested in the human body,” she says. “As a child, I did gymnastics and I’ve always loved doing handstands and seeing the different things you can make your body do.”

“I became a registered massage therapist in 2007 after studying at the Western College of Remedial Massage Therapies in Regina and in 2013, I qualifi ed as a yoga instructor in Qualicum Beach, B.C.”

“The most rewarding thing for me-both as a massage therapist and a yoga instructor-is seeing my clients and students looking healthy, happy and completely relaxed after a treatment or a class. With massage, I will do re-laxation (massage), but I’m more focused on theraputic treatment designed to alleviate pain and stress.”

“I’ve treated clients from ages three to 95 for a mix of everything. Work-related issues or injuries, athletic inju-ries, chronic and acute conditions-a mix of everything.”

“In fact, part of the reason Lotus Tree came about was the fact that when I worked with clients, I referred lots of them to physiotherapy or chiropractic care. They would end up having to travel to Estevan, Weyburn or Regina and I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be awesome to have all of these services in one place?’”

Dalziel has assembled a team that will offer acupunc-ture, aesthetics, chiropractic treatment, dance, fl otation, physiotherapy, raindrop therapy, registered massage therapy and yoga.

“Dr. Rebecca Holman is a chiropractor who will be offering manual treatment, acupuncture and reha-bilitative exercise pre-scriptions,” says Dalziel. “She encourages clients to adopt a healthy, active lifestyle and she practices what she preaches. She’s an athlete herself, so she has an athlete’s perspec-tive of injury.”

“Leann Boehm is a physical therapist who has worked with the Estevan Bruins (hockey team) as their team physiotherapist and she’s also involved with the Saskatchewan Winter and Summer Games’ medical teams, Skate Canada, and the University of Saskatch-ewan’s womens’ soccer team. She’s also the medi-cal services chairperson for the 2016 Saskatch-ewan Summer Games.”

“She offers ortho-paedics, acupuncture, sports physiotherapy and industrial rehabilitation and has worked in public and private practice,” adds Dalziel.

“Melissa Dixon is a reg-istered massage therapist who has 11 years of expe-rience, Nicole Smulan is a yoga teacher who is also trained in ancient Thai massage, Sandra Veer is a holistic teacher and life coach who has studied under Dr. Deepak Chopra and Doreen Virtue. Tara

Duhaime of Carlyle will be offering raindrop therapy.”Dalziel is not only excited about the health and well-

ness practitioners she is bringing to her business; she is also enthused about the transformation of her premises-both online and onsite.

“”My friend Renee Oylypuk did an amazing job on our web page,” she says. “I couldn’t be happier and she put so much time and effort into it and made it really special for me.”

“ And I’m actually thrilled with the reaction of people when they walk in the door,” adds Dalziel. “They don’t realize how much work has been done inside the build-ing, so they’re often quite surprised.”

“Building the studio and the treatment rooms was kind of a family affair. It was pretty neat. My uncle, Ted Dalziel came up from Oxbow to be here every day.”

“My mom, my dad, my sisters and my brothers-in-law took the time out of their already-full lives and sched-ules and basically, worked their butts off,” she laughs.

“And my Auntie Sandy and Marilyn Brady came and painted and also helped to work the big sale we had to clear out the building.”

“My brother-in-law built all of the desks in the treat-ment rooms for me and my reception desk. It’s like the whole building-it’s really neat and really special and a full-on family affair.”

“I’m hoping to have a grand opening in October. We’re so happy to bring these services to Carlyle and all of the surrounding communities.”

“All of our lives are getting faster-paced, no matter where we live. It’s hard for people to take more time for themselves, but it’s important and I’m hoping that by bringing The Lotus Tree to this area, it makes it that much more easy for people to care for themselves,” says Dalziel.
