A search for missing person Terry Sagal, whose car was discovered outside of Kennedy on December 20, 2001, turned up nothing but old animal bones. Though many findings seemed promising at first sight, all were quickly dismissed as animal bones. “We found lots of animal bones, but no human remains,” said Sergeant Brent Shannon, a member of the Regina Police Service Cold Case Unit spearheading the search.

We live much in a “hands on” world. We say, “seeing is believing,”- but in the world of faith, “believing is seeing.” Unfortunately, many times we really do believe the first over the second, but we were not made to act and think this way.

Today I was struck by the words of St. James 4:13-17. Daily we make plans to do business and make money with little thought about God’s part in all this. But James admonishes us, “You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.”

It seems today that everyone is always trying to outdo someone else. I find it very frustrating how easily our world has become obsessed with competition, though for once, this isn’t something that just popped up in my generation.

Over the past couple months, the Community Settlement Committee (CSC) for the Kipling area made some exciting advancements in ways to welcome new immigrants to the community. One of the most exciting ideas is a campaign to put faces on the immigrants by telling their stories of where they came from, why they came to this area and what they do now.

Gladys M. Egan (beloved mother of Gail de Winter) of Kipling passed away Sunday, May 25, 2008 at the age of 91 years.

She came to Kipling in 2000 and settled in nicely, as she could still drive her car. She loved painting, cooking and sewing. Gladys had a green thumb, she could make anything grow…especially flowers. Going for a drive in the car on a nice sunny day was a real treat for her. She didn’t like our cold winters though!

Gladys’ ashes will be taken to B.C. at a later date.

She is survived by her daughter Gail de Winter (Hank), grandchildren Denise Robertson (Dustan), Corry Moon (Mike) and Lorraine Miller (Lee), also a few nieces and nephews in B.C.
