Carlyle woman wants scented flowers allowed at lodge

By Stephanie Zoer Audrey Young of Carlyle is taking exception with a policy adopted by Moose Mountain Lodge (MML).

A close friend of Young’s lives at the lodge. When Young received the news last summer that her friend’s son had passed away, she purchased flowers to brighten her friend’s day.

Upon arriving at the MML, Young was turned away and told that flowers and plants were banned from the lodge as gifts.

Young spoke to the administrator of the lodge and was told there was nothing they were going to do to reverse this decision. According to Young, the ruling was put in place due to one staff member having allergies to scented flowers and plants.

This outraged Young, as she feels this is the residents’ home and flowers are a wonderful way to cheer them up.

Young was not going to accept this answer and called all of the care homes in the region. Each one allowed flowers and plants. A few had certain flowers banned, but none were close to a full ban.

This angered Young even further and she began a petition.

She was sitting by a table at an event hosted

by the Rusty Relics Museum, and Lorri Matthewson from Matthewson and Co. approached Young, offered her assistance, and said Young could stop by the office to discuss this matter further.

When Matthewson said she would back Young, family and friends from the staff member confronted her, and Young claims she was verbally attacked by the mother of the staff member in question.

Young was able to get 600 people to sign her petition and submitted it to the administrator at the lodge, but it was not accepted. Young was told the board would write her a letter when they followed up, but she said they did not.

With Matthewson’s help, Young contacted the provincial ombudsman and a short time later, Young received a letter defending the decision and indicating it was for the health of all at the lodges.

According to a letter sent to Young by Jacqui Kennett-Peppler, the Saskatchewan Health Authority’s (SHA) executive director of primary health care for the southeast, the decision to implement the ban on real flowers in long-term care homes was not made by a single person.

Moose Mountain Lodge in Carlyle does not allow scented flowers or plants. Photo by Dolores Young The SHA does have a scent-free policy that exists in many of the facilities to address numerous factors, including the health concerns of the staff and residents, particularly those with allergies to scents such as flowers.

Matthewson said if a scent-free policy is in place, she wants to know why are flowers allowed in other care homes and hospitals in the area, which are all under the authority of the SHA. In an email to the Observer, SHA communications lead James Winkel said: “Flowers

and other allergen-producing plants are not universally accepted at all Saskatchewan Health Authority … long-term care facilities. The SHA allows on-site management to determined the rules regarding flowers, keeping in mind the health concerns of local staff and residents, particularly those with allergies, as well as the provincial Occupational Health & Safety Act & Regulations.

“The SHA’s primary goal is to provide the highest standard of care while ensuring the safety and well-being

of all those who live and work within our care community. By adhering to this practice, we aim to protect not only our dedicated staff but also residents who deserve quality care.

“When patients, residents or families consider bringing or sending floral arrangements to SHA longterm care facilities, it is always best to consult with local management prior to doing so.”

The SHA would not comment any further in regards to the many scent-free flowers and plants that are allowed.

“While I am sympathetic to anyone who develops chronic conditions late in life,” said Matthewson, “I think it is wrong to meet that obligation at the expense of the people who live there.”

“The accommodation should be made by the staff and by the employer,” she said.

“The people who live there cannot move and should not be forced to accommodate any disability experienced by a staff member.”

Matthewson said she would continue on this quest until Young tells her to quit.

Arcola Optimist Snowmobile Rally has great support

By Stephanie Zoer The Arcola Optimist Club’s Snowmobile Rally is a staple event for the community..

Their 31st annual rally was held Jan. 27 and is known to happen the last Saturday in January each year, with the gathering place at Arcola’s Prairie Place Complex.

This winter did not produce the muchneeded snow for the rally and the trails were not set up for a ride or rest stop due to this, but the rally occurred regardless of the lack of

snow.

The morning began with a pancake breakfast served by the Arcola and R.M. of Brock Volunteer Fire Department. They fed over 100 people in two hours.

Registration started shortly afterwards, and even though only a few went to the hills with their sleds, over 400 people registered. All ages could take part in the event. Event chairman and club member Geordon Workman said people came and went throughout the day.

Workman also said this event sees a great deal of support from

the area. This is what makes this event so successful.

The rally does not consist of just riding snowmobiles.

There was a 50/50 draw, the lottery raffle, a riders’ raffle and door raffles.

They had plenty to do for children, with a kids’ zone at the arena in the afternoon.This gave youngsters skating and glow skating.

Wearing white or bright clothing made the colours jump out. Karaoke, face painting and games also happened.

“The kids’ zone was well attended,” said Workman.

In the hall for the afternoon, the people who remained were entertained by Jacquie Walbaum and a guest.

Workman said the afternoon was quieter.

Lunch offered soup

As people returned late in the afternoon, it soon became time for the raffle draws.

For the riders’ raffle, over $20,000 in prizes was offered, and the winner of the 50/50 draw for $2,435 was McKenna Harkness from Arcola.

A lottery raffle gave the winner the opportunity to shop at Schrader’s Motors in Yorkton.

First place, which was a $20,000 voucher, went to Greg Johnston of Kisbey. Second place for a $6,000 voucher was taken by Mick Cornwell of Kisbey and the $4,000 third-place voucher was won by

Barry Gervais of Estevan.

People stuck around to enjoy the social and a few beverages, said Workman.

Workman and the Arcola Optimist Club are thankful to all the people who once again supported the event, through sponsorship, selling and buying tickets, volunteering and anything else that helps in the success of this event.

They look forward to seeing everyone in 2025 and they hope that this time they will have the much-needed snow for the sleds to hit the trails.

Manor Community Recreation Board raises over $27,000

By Stephanie Zoer The Manor Community Recreation Board held a successful dinner and dance on Jan. 27 at the community hall, where they announced the winner for their snowmobile raffle.

Last fall the board and community began selling raffle tickets on a 2023 Riot Arctic Cat snowmobile.

According to Rylan Weir, ticket sales started off great but slowed down. A week prior to the dance, they had only sold half the tickets.

At this point, they had broken even and were thankful for that as the machine costs $22,000.

That week the push was on for ticket sales, and by the end of the week, all 2,500 tickets were sold.

The proceeds from the raffle and the dinner and dance are to help make improvements to the rink.

Weir said they want to be pro-active in case a large project is needed at the rink,

Gerald King sits on his new 2023 Riot Arctic Cat snowmobile that he won in a raffle. Photo by Cindy Weir although he did say the tarps are beginning to see wear and tear and some metal was needed at the one end.

The night started with cocktails, and dinner was served a short time later to approximately 180 people.

Many last-minute guests attended with

Wier’s Catering supplying the feast.

Minors were also allowed until 9 p.m. when the dance began with D.J. music.

Weir was the MC for the evening, and he offered great entertainment as he had the crowd laughing. He said he never writes anything down and just wings it while he

is on stage.

A silent auction provided fun for all with 36 items donated by individuals and businesses in the area.

Some of the items were geared towards kids, giving the youngsters a chance to be in on the action.

He added games are always played at this annual event, and

this year it was heads and tails. Each participant paid $5 to play and the last two standing shared the pot.

Tickets for 50/50 could be purchased throughout the night as well.

Before the grandprize draw took place, two RCMP officers arrived to help.

The snowmobile was carried into the hall by volunteers and placed on the stage for ticket holders to eye the machine in the hopes they would be taking it home.

As the ticket was pulled, Weir announced that the sled would remain in Manor, which got the crowd’s attention.

He then proceeded to call the winning phone number, which created silence until the winner realized this was his number.

Gerald King of Manor is the lucky winner. He came on stage and was told he could start up the machine for a few seconds, and as he did, one police officer asked him where his helmet was.

One always needs to follow the rules of operating equipment.

Weir and the board are thankful to those who purchased tickets and supported the rink, as it helped raise over $27,000.

One of the next big events in Manor will be on Aug. 9 and 10.

During Manor Daze, they will hold the usual events including a breakfast, parade and car show, but will add the Prairie Pulling League. This will include a monster truck, vintage tractor pulls and modified tractors for pulling.The PBR will no longer be held in Manor as last fall all the chutes were sold, and they needed something new and exciting to take its place with the Prairie Pulling League.

“These are the same tractors that pull in Yorkton and Odessa,” said Weir.

Many groups and organizations will be involved to make this a successful event, one that Weir said will be fun and full of excitement.

Good to Go Shuttle and Limousine will offer many services

By Stephanie Zoer Nicole Osadchuk and her father Armand felt there was a need for a shuttle or limousine service in the Carlyle-Arcola area.

The family was raised in the Carlyle area. Nicole Osadchuk and her two sisters attended school in Carlyle and Arcola.

Armand Osadchuk drove a semi-truck for 40 years, with the first 15 years spent hauling across Canada, and the remaining 25 years in the Prairie provinces.

Nicole Osadchuk decided to follow in her father’s footsteps by acquiring her class 1A driver’s licence to drive rigs. She stayed closer to home for nine years, hauling in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Living in Arcola with her spouse, she became

the manager of Buddy’s Pub last June. This was something completely different for her but she has enjoyed the opportunity.

With driving in their blood and a service they felt was needed, on Jan. 24 they announced the opening of Good to Go Limousine.

Still needing to get organized, Osadchuk said they want to offer day trips for seniors to Estevan, Weyburn and Regina. This is what they would like to start with for trips.

Osadchuk said for people who need to get to appointments or want to visit family, this will be a great alternative.

Once routes are planned out, they will be announced. Their service will not be limited to a few trips and they hope to continuously add to their

trips.

The chevy shuttle will hold 15 passengers with ease and will be a great asset to the area.

Osadchuk said her dad always felt bad watching people walking home from events in the cold and wanted to offer a service that would help.

Wedding parties have already been booked for the shuttle and they have been in demand, but still have some vacancies.

The service is not limited to groups. Individuals can ask for a ride as well if need be.

Feeling they need to support impaired driving laws, they will offer rides from events or bars to take people

Crossroads 4-H Club offered a wide range of speeches

By Stephanie Zoer The Royal Canadian Legion’s Stoughton branch was open on Feb. 4 for anyone who wanted to listen to the 12 members of the 4-H club deliver their speeches.

Cheyenne Lake and Victoria Anderson introduced each speaker.

Sarah Underwood and Jacquie Walbaum sat in the judges’ seats and they both commented on how difficult it was to select the winners.They judged the speakers on clarity, eye contact, neatness, quality of the speech and more.

Brooke Tanner was the first and youngest speaker and she spoke about hockey.

She explained how the game worked and was proud to add that she scored her first goal on Jan. 20.

Elena Simmon spoke on horses, and she told the audience that horses can sleep standing up and they cannot breathe through their mouths. It also takes seven steps to get a horse ready to ride.

Lucas Larose shared his enjoyment of art. He said art has no boundaries and there are 75 different forms of art. He enjoys large projects and listening to soft music while he works on them.

Mathais Gentes Lakeman talked about his life in Alberta. He lived in four different towns and attended five schools. He

loved living close to his aunt who had rescued a dog and gave it a good life.

Jordyn Tanner gave the ins and outs of showing 4-H cattle and the demanding work that engages in preparing the animals for the show ring.

It takes a year to get them ready, she said.

Girl Guides was on MacyLynn Lake’s mind when she spoke about her love for guides and how they sell cookies to fund some of the outings. They also attend camps and girls 5-17 years of age can join.

Aiden Tanner went back to the 1800s and explained how farming was done in the good old days, and how today farming has changed so much.

Fewer people are needed to do more work with the size of the farming equipment.

The Minecraft video game was on William Lake’s mind, as he told people how this game is played all around the world. It is a game of gathering resources to build items.

Ella-Renn Slater spoke about the famous yorkie dog Smoky that was found during the Second World War, and how she became a therapy dog to the soldiers and helped when they needed a small assistant. Smoky later went to the U.S. to live out her life.

Xbox was the name of the game for Tripp

These 12 Crossroads Multiple 4-H members performed a variety of speeches to family and friends. Photo

by Stephanie Zoer Tanner. The gaming system was developed by Bill Gates. He lost a great deal of money on the first one, but over time the Xbox 360 made things right with 84.7 million units sold around the world.

Victoria Anderson had a touching speech on her sister’s health, and how this affected the whole family when they could not find out what was wrong with her. She now understands what families go through with medical issues.

Hannah Tanner said PlayStations are enjoyed around the world with 155 million sold worldwide to families. It was developed in Japan in 1994.

Tripp Tanner took first in the junior division, while Mathais Gentes Lakeman was second.

In the intermediate division Ella-Renn Slater

They can now move on to districts in Estevan on Feb. 11 if they choose.

If they decide to not go, the next in line has the option to take their place.

Club leader Carolynn Chaytors thanked everyone for coming out and offered refreshments and treats for those who wished to stay and socialize. She hoped it was enjoyed by all.

Envision launches new Connected Families parenting program Envision Counselling and Support Centre Inc. will be launching a new parenting program geared towards parents and caregivers who might be struggling with some dynamics within their homes. Connected Families will run every Monday in Estevan and every Tuesday in Weyburn from Feb. 26 through the end of 2024.

Both will start at 6 p.m.

“Have you ever wished you could help your child willingly cooperate without the use of bribes, threats, punishment or even perhaps

yelling?” said Raven Daer, communications specialist with Envision Counselling and Support Centre Inc. “Do you want to feel more connected and confident as a parent? Then this new parenting program might be the right fit for you.”

Pre-registration is required for these upcoming parenting programs and will open Feb. 1. Space is limited, so those interested are asked to register.

The focus of this group is confidence and connection. It’s geared

towards individuals who feel they might require some additional support in the areas of connecting and communicating with their children.

“Parenting is no easy job, so this program will allow folks to share stories and learn strategies that may ease some stress within the home as children grow and evolve through the different stages,” Envision said in a press release.

“We have found that there are limited opportunities for free educational programming, within the community,

that is outside of typical business hours,” Daer said. “We are hopeful that by offering this parenting program in the evenings, it will support those who may otherwise be unable to access

our services. We are also hopeful that by having these conversations, we can normalize the reality that parenting isn’t easy, but folks shouldn’t feel the need to struggle on their own.”

Thank you

Agriculture in 2024 Big Dog Seeds is a proud independent retailer

By Stephanie Zoer Wayne Amos has been a farmer for many years near Oxbow.

During those years, family and friends suggested to him that becoming a qualified producer of seeds would really suit him, as he was fussy about his seed.

In 1997, Amos and his partner Lori Erhardt began taking the steps to become independent seed retailers.

Big Dog Seeds was born, and the company was named after the St. Bernard dogs they have on the farm.

When 2002 rolled around, Big Dog Seeds became a select grower, which qualified them to produce plots of the highest generation.

There is an astonishing number of steps to ensure the seeds remain pure, and the germination of the seed is high.

Each piece of equipment that enters the fields must be cleaned from front to back and top to bottom, not missing a square inch.

This includes all tractors, wagons, air drills, combines and trucks.

Some machinery is pulled apart when possible and vacuumed to ensure every speck is cleaned.

They do not perform custom crop work or loan equipment, and everything they use remains on the farm.

Grain bins are swept, from top to bottom, and vacuumed, making sure not one stray seed remains behind.

Cleaning the combines takes five hours with two or three people.

Once in the field, the first 80-100 bushels of seed from the combine, are purged to be sold as commercial grain.

Seed crops are planted on 60 per cent of the farmland and the remaining is in commercial crops.

Each crop has a three-metre perimeter isolation strip around the field to avoid cross contamination.

When new breeder seed is introduced, it is planted on 2.4 acres or less.

This plot is walked several times by three or four people, walking a metre apart, pulling the non-bearded and short

heads to keep the crop pure. Non-bearded are the hairs that are not present on the heads.

Checking these plots is very labour intensive, as it needs to be done on a regular basis and is very time consuming.

A third party will come in and inspect the crops as well, and this is an additional cost.

From there, the inspector’s report is sent to Canadian Seed Growers where it is analyzed. If it passes, a certificate is presented. If it does not pass, the seed then becomes commercial grain.

Over the years, Amos and Erhardt have received over 300 certificates of pedigreed seed for flax, winter wheat, peas, lentils and oats, to name a few.

Once the seed is harvested, it goes to their cleaning plant.

In this process, the smaller seeds, chaff and dirt are removed. The gravity table provides a higher standard of cleaning.

Every three years, an inspection is done on the farm, and once a year, the retained seed samples are sent to the Canadian

Food Inspection Agency to be checked for purity.

Along with inspections, seeds are sent to the seed lab to evaluate for germination, disease and cold vigor. The seed is frozen for this step for its hardiness.

Amos is also a licensed grader.

This means when they are cleaning the seed, every hour a one-kilogram sample is checked for purity and to make sure it exceeds the standards for the class of grain they are cleaning.

These samples are kept in case they are audited.

Amos said the per work when he fared was lot, but the paperwork is crazy as every little detail... accounted for.

For the 2024 season, they have a selection of seeds including non-GMO soybeans for farmers and companies to plant.

In 2016, they received the Outstanding Service Award from the Saskatchewan Seed Growers in Saskatoon, and they are immensely proud and honoured to have received this.

Close races remain in Big Six entering final weekend Entering the final weekend of the Big Six Hockey League’s season, about the only thing that appears to be for certain is the Carnduff Red Devils will be the fourth seed in the playoffs.

Carnduff (10-6) sits fourth with 20 points.

The fifth-place Oxbow Huskies (7-7-2, 16 points) can catch the Red Devils, but Carnduff would hold the tie-breaker with the most wins.

Eight games are on the docket for next weekend, which is the last of the regular season. On Feb. 9, the Oil Kings will visit the Rangers, the Coalers are at the Huskies and the Rockets will be at the Red Devils.

Four more games are

set for Feb. 10: Redvers at Wawota, Kipling-Windthorst at Bienfait, Midale at Oxbow and Carlyle at Carnduff. Games on both days are set for 8 p.m.

The final game for the regular season, Moosomin at Midale, is Feb. 11 at 5:30 p.m.

Report from the Saskatchewan Legislature

By Daryl Harrison Our government remains committed to investing in the programs and services that matter most to Saskatchewan people. These investments help to build and protect our province, ensuring it remains one of the best places to live, work and raise a family.

The new Saskatchewan Employment Incentive (SEI) program has officially launched, helping

to make life more affordable for Saskatchewan families. Working parents who earn between $500 and $2,200 per month may be eligible for the maximum monthly SEI benefit ranging from $400-$600, depending on the number of children they have.

The SEI will provide a monthly financial benefit, supplementary health benefits, access to discount bus passes where available, connections

to employment supports through the Ministry of Immigration and Career Training, and access to the Saskatchewan Housing Benefit through the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation.

Applications are open on the government’s website.

The minimum age for purchasing tobacco and vapour products has increased to 19, effective Feb. 1. This is an important step in protecting youths from the dangers 24022DS1 24022DS2

of tobacco and vapour products.

Under the new Action Plan for Mental Health and Addictions, our government is focused on getting more people the treatment they need to overcome addictions and live healthy, safe lives in recovery. As part of the transition to a recovery-oriented system of care, changes are being made to how the healthcare system responds to illicit drug use issues.

The provision of pipes for smoking methamphetamine, crack cocaine and other illicit drugs will be discontinued. The practice of pro-

viding materials with instructions on how to use illicit drugs will also be discontinued. No thirdparty organization will be permitted to use funding provided by the Ministry of Health or the Saskatchewan Health Authority for these purposes.

Consistent with public safety priorities, the take home naloxone program will continue to provide free naloxone kits.

These are available at over 400 locations throughout the province, with more locations to come.

Test strips for fentanyl and benzodiazepine contamination will also

continue to be available to assist law enforcement and the health care system with monitoring drug toxicity, as well as help users better understand the risks associated with illicit drugs.

Needle exchanges will be required to operate on an exchange basis to strike a balance with public safety priorities. The intent of needle exchanges is to get back used needles that can be littered in communities or be otherwise improperly disposed of, and to reduce the spread of bloodborne illnesses like HIV or hepatitis C.

Alida hosts annual Oilmen and Farmers’ Bonspiel

By Edel Cowan The Alida Curling Club held its annual Oilmen & Farmers’ Bonspiel on Feb. 2 and 3, with 10 teams registered.

The bonspiel began in the evening of Feb. 2. This was followed by a very successful Calcutta in which the teams were auctioned off by Dellan Mohrbutter of K(M) Auction Services. It brought in $8,950.

Spectators and fans enjoyed watching the curling.

On Feb. 3, the bonspiel resumed and continued all day, stopping for a break at when supper was served. A beef dinner with all the trimmings was prepared to approximately 100 guests, including the curlers. The final games were held following supper.

The A-event was won by the Shaw Earth Moving team from Gainsborough and the B-event was won by Team Vespur (Cory Purves) of

Carnduff. The winners of the Calcutta winners were Steven Bendtsen of Alida for the A-event and the B-event was Jaye Lemieux of Alida and Aaron DeJong of Lashburn.

The Chinese Auction draws were made and the winners gathered up their prizes, bringing the bonspiel to a close.

It was a very successful bonspiel for the Alida Curling Club and they do appreciate all the support that was given towards this event, wither it was by donations, participation or attendance.

Their next event is the Ladies’ Open Bonspiel on Feb. 24. It will have six-end games. To register, contact Margaret at 306-485-7245.

To bring the weekend to a close, Kitchen Group 3 served up 61 breakfasts on Feb. 4, breaking the Breakfast Challenge mark. We do appreciate all the support we receive from our locals residents and especially all those from the surrounding areas.

The A-event winners were, from left, skip Bob Thompson, third Nick Pirie, second Cheryl Ann Show and lead Glen Baylis. Photos courtesy of Edel Cowan
