I look forward to this fall I know it will be fun. Wow! What a summer it has been. It’s hard to believe that it is almost half over.

The Regina Senior Citizen’s Centre (RSCC) organized a bus tour consisting of 49 people to travel out to Assiniboia on Wednesday, July 15, 2015 on Moose Mountain Bus Lines. The group toured the Prince Of Wales Cultural And Recreation Centre, the Shurniak Art Gallery and the Assiniboia And District Museum. Inside this very large complex is a 4 sheet Curling Rink with numerous seats on the side, a full Gymnasium with a large stage, a commercial sized kitchen, Regional Library, Movie Theatre and rental rooms on the main floor. Then on the second floor is a Karate Club, more rental rooms and the Curling Rink Lounge with large windows overlooking the ice sheets. The group left Regina at 8:30am and arrived in Assiniboia after the two hour bus trip. The first tour stop was the Prince Of Wales Cultural and Recreation Centre. It is named “Prince Of Wales”, as the last time Prince Charles was in Saskatchewan, he went to Assiniboia to partake in the official sod turning ceremony to mark construction of the building. The August 2015! ! ! ! ! ! The group then went across the street to the Shurniak Art Gallery. Mr. Bill Shurniak worked all over the world throughout his career and purchased various pieces of paintings and art throughout that time. Upon his retirement, he built a beautiful Art ! ! ! ! ! ! page 6 to go from the Shurniak Art Gallery over to the Assiniboia And District Museum. The Museum showcased the Prentice African Safari Exhibit, a quilting display, an old style main street and James Parker Vintage Car Collection. Outside in the yard were more antique cars from the 1920’s and 30’s and antique farm implements. At 3pm and 3:30pm, shuttle bus runs were again offered to go from the Museum back to the Art Gallery. Many people made another stop in the Team room for afternoon drinks and snacks. Gallery in Assiniboia to showcase his extensive Art Collection and to share it with everyone. There is a very impressive, beautiful arched entrance to At 4:30pm, a large group photo was taken of the 49 people on the tour which was taken outside, just in front of the main entrance. If you would like a copy of the picture, just call Brad at the RSCC Elphinstone location at 359-3847 and I can e-mail you a copy. The group then loaded up on to the bus one last time and made the two hour trek back to Regina. A great time was had by all! the facility, 7 galleries, 4 offices, a Tea Room and a beautiful garden right beside the building that you can tour and eat in as well. Most of the tour group had lunch in the Tea Room at 11:30am. Around noon, RSCC Elphinstone Coordinator Brad Weiss introduced Bill Shurniak to everyone in the Tea Room and he was kind enough to welcome everyone and say a few words about the Gallery. Everyone then toured around the Art Gallery. At 2pm and 2:30pm, the RSCC offered shuttle runs on the bus August 2015! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! page 7 Good Deeds of Kindness at the Regina Senior Ci4zen Centre Kindness through good deeds for seniors is what this project endeavours to accomplish The idea is to offer good deeds along the way, while also featuring others doing good deeds thereby bringing seniors and youth together. The project hopefully will inspire others to take part and to really explore the idea that good deeds actually make monumental differences in people's lives. Street Culture Kidz and the Regina Senior Citizens Centre have partnered on tthis project that will see youth interact with older adults through acts of kindness. The basic premise is that Street Culture youth will assist one older adult each week for a few hours during the summer. They will pull weeds and spruce up the seniors’ planters and gardens. The Good Deed Project was initiated by the Street Culture Kidz Group. I will be sending out a group of girls from Street Culture to do a good deed with some of our seniors that are unable to physically bend down and tend their gardens. It will be a one day a week project. I will phone one of my seniors and have the girls go and work with our senior with yard work on Thursday afternoon over the summer months for a few hours each time. This community movement endeavours to promote random acts of kindness towards seniors. Thank You Jackie Harrower Marketing/Development Coordinator The RSCC wishes to thank its sponsors ... Jolly’s Surgical Supplies Ltd. 120 Victoria Ave Regina, Sk Ph 306-522-3833 August 2015! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! page 8 Senior Applause By Ray Zelowsky Shelby Harrower-‐ Office Manager at R.S.C.C Usually when I write a column I ask the subject to pen a few notes so I know what they are all about. However Shelby did such a good job that I decided to let her tell her own story-‐ this makes it very personal. My name is Shelby Harrower; I am 19 years old and am currently working at the R.S.C.C. as a summer student for my mother Jackie. I also work as an eyewear consultant at the opAcal centre in Superstore; and for the Saskatchewan Blind Sports AssociaAon as a Goal ball Coach, and am in charge of hosAng pracAces twice a week and helping athletes progress within the sport of Goal ball. Lastly, I work for the Saskatchewan Wheelchair Sports AssociaAon as the Regional Bridging the Gap Coordinator; my posiAon for this job is to help people with physical disabiliAes find a wheelchair sport of their choosing and help them get involved in community in a recreaAonal manner. Wheelchair sports have always been a very big passion of mine ever since I was a liEle girl. My sister Cory has cerebral palsy and started playing wheelchair basketball when I was around 5yrs old. AYer seeing my sister parAcipate in this sport I decided that I would like to try it out. I started playing when I was 6yrs old and have been playing ever since. Wheelchair basketball is the only sport in the world where people with a disability can compete at a naAonal level with a person who is able bodied. My biggest accomplishment so far with in the sport was in May 2015, when my team won a bronze medal at the Canadian NaAonal Women’s Wheelchair Tournament in Calgary. I competed in this tournament with my sister Cory and was the leading scorer for Team Sask with 27 points. This was also the very first August 2015! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! page 9 Ame Saskatchewan has ever medaled at a women’s naAonal tournament. I am currently studying at the U of R, and taking TherapeuAc RecreaAon within the faculty of Kinesiology. TherapeuAc RecreaAon is focused on helping people with an illness or disability to become more acAve and get involved in recreaAonal acAviAes in the community. My dreams for the future with this degree are to become a NaAonal Wheelchair Basketball Coach and be able to help people within the sport of wheelchair basketball accomplish their dreams. We o@en hear about how our youth simply waste their Ame on their youth. However as you can see by reading Shelby’s descripAon that this is the furthest thing from the truth! A@er reading what this young lady has packed into her life we can truly say – “the youth isn’t wasted on the young!” Believe me a@er dealing with many teenagers I can tell you that there are many teenagers like Shelby. You’ll noAce that not only are they spending their Ame learning, they are also helping others. Quite o@en aiding seniors is at the top of their list. As Office Manager at the R.S.C.C. one of Shelby’s tasks is to work with seniors. Recently I asked a senior that had just spent some Ame with Shelby what she thought of her. The senior replied “Wow! What a pleasure it was being in that young ladies company-‐ she makes me feel at home when I come to the centre! She is polite, knowledgeable and above all respecRul to us-‐ you can tell she likes being here!” I should menAon that one thing that Shelby didn’t tell us in the write up is that she is a singer and performs in a very pleasant and professional way. This arAcle is called Senior Applause-‐ so seniors go ahead and applaud! Thanks Shelby Senior Art Also shown is a number of works of art done by seniors at the Centre. Come in and see the displays that are around the building! August 2015! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! page 10 Yes indeed many seniors that do art work at the centre are very accomplished! Perhaps you should join them in the many art classes provided! The RSCC wishes to thanks its sponsors ... August 2015! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! page 11 Happenings at Winnipeg Street Centre ...

The Civic Holiday is celebrated on the first Monday of August and it's a public holiday in some provinces and territories. The civic holiday is not a statutory holiday. It is known by many names in different provinces and municipalities. It's called Regatta Day in Newfoundland, Saskatchewan Day in SK, British Columbia Day in BC, Natal Day in Nova Scotia and PEI, Simcoe Day in Toronto, New Brunswick Day in New Brunswick, Colonel By Day in Ottawa, Heritage Day in Alberta and Joseph Brant Day in Burlington, ON. It is called Benjamin Vaughan day in the City of Vaughan, Ontario. The Civic Holiday is commonly referred to as the August long weekend. It is probably the busiest day on highways as tens of thousands of families go camping, to cottages etc. this weekend. Each municipality that opts to declare the holiday can give it a unique name. It's called the "civic" holiday because it's the holiday that cities have authority to declare. from www.statutoryholidays.com/civic-holiday.php The RSCC wishes to thank its sponsors ... August 2015! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! page 13 Poetry ... Life is a pathway that you follow each turn has a hill and hollow up and down, ‘round and about. Each day you live have no doubt that somewhere down that road you will have to carry a load of hopes, dreams, joys and sorrow knowing “there’s always tomorrow”. If today has its problems in order to solve them--handle with care: try to be fair. Take time to share: take time to care. Take time to listen: take time to think. Take time to hear what others speak. Close your mouth but not your eyes before you speak something unwise. Open your ears and listen closely when someone speaks of being lonely. Reach out and touch have no fear and watch the loneliness disappear.

Sweet, Sweet Summertime! Summertime is a special time—long, lazy days filled with sunshine, warm sand on our toes, juicy strawberries, the plaintive cry of loons at the lake, hot dogs roasted over the campfire, sipping iced tea and watching the sun go down. But even more important, it’s a time for families to get together;; it’s a time of visiting and reconnecting. Time and the miles between us slip away as we listen to grandchildren giggling and reminisce about days gone by. It’s a time of simply enjoying each other’s company. Together, we make memories that will last a lifetime…..and well beyond. Love endures all things. Summertime is also a good time to talk with our family about practical things like wills, power of attorney, downsizing to a smaller home with less maintenance, medical concerns, and future planning. It might surprise you to know that it’s also a good time to talk about funeral preplanning so that your family knows what your wishes are. Our experience has shown us that stress can be greatly reduced if final arrangements have been discussed, planned, and if you wish, pre-funded. Our preplanning specialist, Brad Funston, would be honoured to assist you by explaining the emotional and financial advantages, and the options available to you through our preplanning service. He is available to meet, at your convenience, in your home or at Speers. And, we’d love to meet the people who are special to you! Have a wonderful and safe summer everyone! The loving embrace of family. 2136 College Avenue | 306-522-3232 | speersfuneralchapel.com August 2015 page 22
