It is a passage, not a place to stay.
Grief is not a sign of weakness,
nor a lack of faith…It is the price of love.”

Telehealth is available at the Maryfield
Primary Health Centre!! Telehealth
Saskatchewan uses two way video and audio
conferencing to provide a wide range of
educational programming and clinical
considerations. If you need to video conference
an appointment with your specialist or want to
take part in any provincial education sessions let
us know. We can set that up for you. The service
is free.
The Walk-about Maryfield Walking Paths are
ready. All the signs are up and maps are in the
mail boxes at the Main Sign between the Maryfield
Corner Store and Memory Lane. All paths will start
and end at Memory Lane. Whether your goal is to
become more fit or to just enjoy an evening stroll,
try out the paths and let us know what you think.
Watch for the grand opening coming next spring.
The Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan is offering for
people with dementia, their families and friends a fall
learning series by Telehealth.
Care Essentials for family and friends will begin
October 7 and is a four week series held in the evening
from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm to provide guidance throughout
the caregiver journey and strategies for when a person
with dementia’s care needs have increased.
Topics will include:
Progression of dementia
The caregiver journey
Day to day care
Understanding behavior
All of these learning opportunities will be available at the
Maryfield Health Centre and are provided at no cost to
participants. Contact the Health Centre for more
information or to register.
We are greatly disappointed that someone has
vandalized some of the walking path sign decals in the
community playground. These were installed there as
part of the Children’s Jaunt Walking path which includes
a scavenger game to find the hidden animals on the
signs. These signs were sponsored by donations from
our community and installed by volunteers. The entire
project was to improve health and enhance life in this
community. It will cost money to have them
replaced. Hopefully when they are replaced they will be
respected and left undamaged for everyone in the
community to enjoy.

food. They were clothed in rags. The landowners were
consolidating the miniscule acreage; now the people had
no place to live let alone earn anything. Men, women and
children, 300,000 or more, left with almost nothing and
arrived in Canada in rags and barefoot.
The present exodus in the middle east is a similar
tragedy, fewer years, better clothing and some money.
Conditions in their country were and are horrendous.

You can join any time. We will be reading our second
book in October. Books are chosen by the group from a
long list of possibilities. After reading we discuss each

questions to consider. It’s fun to get together and see

“FLIGHT FROM FAMINE” by Donald MacKay:
The reason I requested this book was that a set of my
grandparents came from Northern Ireland in 1820 and a
set of my husband’s grandparents came from Ireland in
1850. The famine’s beginning was shortly after 1815
until after the Great Famine of 1845-50. Between
800,000 and a million people died in those years from
starvation - loss of potato crops from blight - and
diseases resulting from poor sanitation.
The Irish were starving in the land of their birth.
The people were selling their clothing so they could buy

FLU SEASON IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER
The flu shot is the best way to avoid getting influenza
because it stimulates the body to produce antibodies
against the influenza virus.
Both influenza and the common cold are viral
respiratory infections (they affect the nose, throat,
and lungs). Viruses are spread from person to
person through airborne droplets that are sneezed
out or coughed up by an infected person. In some
cases, the viruses can be spread when a person
touches an infected surface (e.g., doorknobs,
countertops, telephones) and then touches his or
her nose, mouth, or eyes.
People infected with an influenza or cold virus
become contagious 24 hours after the virus enters
the body (often before symptoms appear). Adults
remain infectious (can spread the virus to others)
for about 6 days, and children remain infectious for
up to 10 days.
Knowing how viruses spread, it is understandable
that the best way to prevent catching or spreading
the flu or a cold is good hygiene:
Wash your hands frequently.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Use a tissue if you are sneezing or coughing,
and then discard the used tissue immediately.
Clean hard surfaces with a disinfectant.
Use alcohol-based hand sanitizers.
Stay at home if you are sick with a cold or flu. You
need to get enough rest to recover from illness;
fatigue can actually increase the duration of
symptoms. Staying at home will also avoid
spreading the infection to others. To help speed
your recovery, drink lots of fluids and avoid physical
exertion.

THANK YOU
The Maryfield Holistic Health Group and the
Maryfield Agricultural Society want to thank everyone
who helped make our Progressive Agricultural Safety
Day so successful. Thanks to the staff, parents and
students from Bellegarde, Maryfield, Redvers and
Wawota Schools. The students were attentive,
enthusiastic, and participated at every station.
Thanks to all the presenters -- you were well
prepared, knowledgeable and fun.
Our Safety Day would not have been possible
without the support of businesses and organizations
both local and national. All of the demo props were
supplied by CASA (Canadian Agricultural Safety
Association). SAASE (Saskatchewan Association of
Agricultural Societies and Exhibitions) funded
participant lunches and provided a station on
electrical safety. A huge thank you to Enbridge
Pipeline for their financial and volunteer support.
Without the encouragement of Enbridge’s Lorna St.
Thomas we would not have had the Safety Day.
Local businesses and organizations provided
financial support, ‘in kind’ donations and volunteers
for the day.

Villa for providing a venue for yarn bombers to gather

you to the Yarn Bombers themselves for making all of
their interesting works of art.
