Three thousand visitors attend Carlyle Homespun

By Stephanie Zoer

The 36th annual Homespun Craft Show and Sale, billed as the Biggest Little Craft Show in Saskatchewan, was held in Carlyle Sept. 14-15.

Located at the Carlyle Sports Arena, the ﬂoor was ﬁlled with 53 vendors from as far as Ontario. Others were from across the Prairie provinces and British Columbia.

The craft show has long been a staple event in Carlyle, which brings visitors from across the provinces to see and shop for unique handcrafted items. An estimated crowd of 3,000 people attended.

Nicole Currie is one of the organizers and she said the show was once again a huge success.

“The exhibitors that come to the Homespun Craft Show and Quilt

Show are incredibly talented, and our shoppers appreciate that,” said Currie. “They know they are getting the best quality and craftsmanship.”

The committee is always amazed at how creative and talented the crafters are, and this year was no diﬀerent.

Homespun is a space where artisans can share their work, and attendees can ﬁnd one-ofa-kind treasures. The vendors, many of whom have been participating for years, bring with them an impressive variety of handcrafted goods, making it a perfect place to ﬁnd holiday gifts or to support small businesses.

In addition to the craftsmanship on display, the show fosters a sense of community, giving people an opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and appreciate the art-

istry within their region.

Upon entering the arena, a display for the Dickens Village Festival was presented, showing that it is the ﬁfth-most popular festival of its kind in the world.

According to Currie, the exhibitors love coming to Carlyle as they are greeted with a warm and welcoming feeling.

The concession stand was looked after by the Grade 12 students from the Gorden F Kells High School.

Booths were pleasantly displayed with black curtain backdrops. Some are brightened up with lights, while others have colourful displays.

Homemade jewelry, wooden toys, recycled cutlery made into tractors and trucks and authentic African crafts were available.

Judy Wera lives in Swift Current but her

home country is Kenya. Her husband Fred has supplies shipped in from Kenya and makes Afri-

can paintings on mixed mediums and carves on wooden spoons, while his mother weaves bowls.

Wera and her children Nelly and Nathan were excited to be at the show and see what everyone had to oﬀer. This was their ﬁrst time at Homespun and they were overly impressed with the amount of people that came through.

“We have happy exhibitors and happy shoppers and that’s everything that we ask for,” said Currie.

The Quilt Show was held in the Carlyle Memorial Hall, and the displays were beautiful,

although Bev Thompson, another organizer, said attendance was down. Thompson said that quilters are getting older, and it is getting harder to ﬁnd younger people interested in quilting.

During the event, they had Grade 9 students from the high school come over and help with the setup and take down. She was incredibly pleased with the help these young people gave, and they were extremely helpful.

Organizers feel the show was another successful event and they are already planning for next year.

Held at the Arcola Prairie Place Complex on Sept. 14, the event highlighted a wide range of products, from handcrafted jewelry and home décor, to baked goods, clothing and artisanal gifts.

The large number of visitors underscored the

show’s signiﬁcance as a major event for the town, drawing in people from surrounding areas eager to explore the variety of crafts and trade items on display.

The vendors, a mix of local artisans and businesses, provided a diverse array of oﬀerings, ensuring there was something for everyone.

Many vendors returned this year but there were also some new ones, and there is always a waiting list for those wanting to get in on the action.

All ages need to wear a bicycle helmet

By Stephanie Zoer

Riding a bicycle is a fun, eco-friendly and healthy way to get around, but it comes with its risks, especially if safety measures are not taken seriously.

One of the most important and often overlooked aspects of bicycle safety is wearing a helmet. A simple habit like strapping on a helmet can be the difference between a mild injury and a lifethreatening accident.

On Sept. 12, 107 kids from kindergarten to Grade 2, from both the Carlyle Elementary and Manor Schools, attended a bike safety event in Carlyle.

Volunteers from the Carlyle District Lions Club, CFY Family Resource Centre, Carlyle RCMP and the Carlyle and RM 63 Fire Department hosted an assortment of fun and educational stations under the instruction of the Saskatchewan Health Authority’s acquired brain injury team and public health.

Lions Club president Craig Savill organized hel-

mets sponsored by both the Lions Club and the Carlyle Home Hardware ($500 donation), while snacks were provided by Michael’s Coffee Shop and Bakery. Fifty-six helmets were given to the Grade 1 students from Carlyle and Manor.

The theme of the day was bike safety, with a huge emphasis on wearing a bike helmet, using the “2 V 1” salute. Children were shown how to wear the helmet properly, no more than two fingers above the eyebrows, with

the strap making a V just under each ear, and no more than one finger of space between their chin and the buckle.

Children practised stopping and starting, using street signs and the rules of the road, how to turn safely, and how to watch for cars, especially those reversing in driveways.

Younger children tend to wear their helmets more than adults or their older siblings, however it is good practice for people of all ages to wear a helmet no matter what.

Head injuries are one of the most serious outcomes of bicycle accidents. According to health studies, cyclists who wear helmets reduce the risk of head

injury by 50 per cent and fatal head injuries by 65 per cent.

Helmets are designed to absorb the force of impact, protecting the brain

from serious damage that could result from falls or collisions.

In a crash, a helmet acts as a shield between the skull and hard surfaces like asphalt or vehicles, minimizing the trauma.

Kids are also encouraged to wear reflective gear and obey the rules of the road.

Although Saskatchewan is the only province west of Quebec without some sort of mandatory helmet law, some towns and cities have enacted a law requiring helmets for people under the age of 18.

The RCMP, Carlyle Lions, CFY Family Centre, Carlyle and R.M. # 63 Fire Department wish to remind people to wear their helmets.

Wanted: Lots of good election candidates

Across the province, municipal councils are having their ﬁnal meetings before the upcoming Nov. 13 civic election.

You’ll ﬁnd calls for nominations in this week’s edition of the Observer. Urban and rural municipalities alike are seeking candidates.

We’re pretty conﬁdent there will be enough interest in a lot of communities to require elections. It’s just a question of how many we’ll have.

Municipal councils are the bedrock of democracy, especially in smaller communities. We have a mayor and six councillors in Carlyle and in many other municipalities. Most RMs have a reeve and six councillors, which each councillor representing a diﬀerent subdivision. There’s a very good chance you know your community’s mayor and/or at least one councillor. You might know everyone on council. We don’t have the ward system for councillor like you see in Regina and Saskatoon, and that’s the way to go in smaller communities.

The person who will be elected as the MLA for Cannington in next month’s provincial election will have a large area to cover. Carlyle’s the biggest centre, but the riding’s territory is still pretty big and there are a few communities with at least 1,000 people. And our federal constituency, Souris-Moose Mountain, will be nearly the size of P.E.I. after changes to the constituency map take eﬀect in the next federal election.

Being on a municipal council is not easy and it’s not for everyone. Members of a town council have to dedicate hours a week to their duties, which extend well beyond the regularly-scheduled council meetings.

And since they’re known in the community, they’re constantly approached by members of the public. A nice family dinner at a local restaurant or a night out at the rink for a Big 6 Hockey League game can be interrupted by someone who doesn’t have enough common sense to know when to stay away.

The challenges of being on council have grown in the past 15-20 years due to keyboard warriors who think they can say what they want on social media, and often won’t put their name to it.

If you have a penchant for believing everything you read on social media, or if you think Facebook is the best avenue to express your thoughts, rather than going to the town hall or talking with a member of council, then maybe you shouldn’t be running for council.

But there are a lot of people who would be very capable candidates, who would generate interest in the race and would bring a lot to council chambers if they’re elected.

It’s not just the town and village councils that will be decided during the civic election. There will be votes for RM reeves, and councillors for divisions 1, 3 and 5 (and for any other vacancies). The RM council plays a role that is every bit as important to that municipality as an urban council.

Also to be decided will be school division trustees. It’s rare that we see an election for the South East Cornerstone Public School Division, at least during a regular election. It would be nice to have a local vote for a trustee role, because it helps build engagement. It’s not a good sign if the school division has to issue a second call for nominations.

The next few weeks are going to be really interesting. There’s rumours of who will run. And there will be nomination papers ﬁled from people who weren’t necessarily on the public’s radar.

It’s the joys of election season.

“May

your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.”

Do I need that much salt water ta y?

I couldn’t ﬁgure out the pain in my thumb, and was baﬄed by what could be causing the discomfort.

It wasn’t from pulling weeds (I don’t garden) or crafting (I don’t knit or crochet). Then it hit me.Or rather, a family member gently suggested the origin of the pain. Excessive channel changing.

Sounds crazy, right? But yes indeed, I had been guilty of excessive channel changing during the Olympics. Dare I call it a sports injury?

Constantly switching back and forth between channels, along with keeping diﬀerent live streams going on my laptop and phone, was not only driving my family crazy, it was apparently overtaxing the muscles in my right thumb. In my need to try and see it all, I was repetitively switching channels to catch what I could.

This summer we checked out a place about 40 minutes outside of Minneapolis

that describes itself as Minnesota’s Largest Candy Store. The family-owned-and-operated business stocks candy, chocolate, nuts, popcorn, licorice, chips, jams, jellies, salsas, chutneys, fresh-baked pastries and the world’s largest selection of sodas.

Shoppers stroll up and down aisles that stretch on for city blocks, encountering thousands of types of candy including childhood favorites, international imports and entirely new confections. It was so much fun.

But here’s the thing. Amidst the excess of product, it’s hard to see what is there and that makes it very hard to make selections. I really like licorice, but imagine standing in front of a section boasting 25 different kinds. How was I supposed to decide which one(s) to get?

The salt water taffy, another favorite, stretched out counter after counter displaying 91 diﬀerent ﬂavors. What was I to do with all that? Unable to choose, I wimped out and bought the prepackaged variety pack. Clearly I lacked a shopping strategy.

Then there were the puzzles. The owner of the store started stocking puzzles to ﬁll shelf space as perishables sold. But as customers began buying them he started needing more and more to meet de-

mand. He now does business with about 50 puzzle companies around the world.

At the end of November, the staﬀ inventories the collection and creates a list of every puzzle in stock from each manufacturer and then that company sends new ones the store doesn’t have. That means they can begin the new retail season with every puzzle possible.

Having been there, I don’t doubt it is truly every puzzle possible. We are a household that does puzzles and decided it would be fun to buy new ones from this unique store.

So how many did we come home with? Zero.

After walking past thousands upon thousands, at some point you are so overwhelmed your brain shuts down and a decision doesn’t seem possible. We got to a point we couldn’t see them anymore because there were simply too many.

I’ve shared the story in the past about Sidonia, a Romanian social worker who told us of standing in line before Christmas hoping to buy candy for her children in the days prior to the revolution. But the store ran out and she went home empty-handed.

I thought about her as I wandered through the massive building and the thousands of square feet of nothing but an abundance of candy.

I wondered what she would think of the endless options, the sheer volume and the excess. No worries of empty shelves. No running out before everyone had a chance to make a purchase. It is quite stunning to think these desperately diﬀerent situations had remarkably similar outcomes. Her quest for candy, and our quest for a puzzle yielded the same result, but for vastly different reasons. She came out empty-handed for scarcity of the product. We left empty-handed due to over-abundance of the product. There was nothing left for her. There was too much for us. So much of our lives in this part of the world seems to cross the line to excess. We have so much stuﬀ we need places to store it or charity stores willing to take it. As Canadians we are responsible for more than 50 million tons of food waste each year because we don’t use up all we have.

Our excess could lead to missing out on what is in front of us. While it is tremendous fun to explore all the options we have access to, we would do ourselves a favour by setting aside the urgency to try and take it all in. By being content to seek less, we might actually be seeing and experiencing a whole lot more. That’s my outlook.

Carndu Fall Fling brought community together

By Stephanie Zoer

The Carnduff Fall Fling brought together residents and visitors for a lively community event filled with fun, activities and a strong sense of togetherness.

The town wanted to hold a celebration that replaced the Canada Day event and provided something different. With the community having a great deal of interest in a new event, they created a committee and started planning.

This fun-filled event was going to need a name. Once again they went to the community, held a contest for the name, and Jean Hanson produced the Carnduff Fall Fling.

The celebration featured something for everyone, from outdoor games and family-friendly entertainment to vendor booths and food stalls.

The day began with a pancake breakfast prepared and served by the Carnduff Lions Club. It was successful with over 200 hungry people served.

In the morning, the focus was at the agricultural grounds and park, and included a fall fling

market with around 20 vendors. While the adults had the opportunity to shop, the kids enjoyed activities such as bouncy castles, face painting, a family vegetable contest and petting zoo.

A children’s pet parade formed, and they strolled to the Border-line Housing Co. nursing home to show the elderly all the wonderful animals.

In the afternoon, the fun moved downtown with food trucks, a car show, and lots of games like ladder ball, spike ball and Jenga. They even had karaoke with music by Todd and Marcia Greenwood.

The enjoyment continued with a duck pond, sand pile and colouring.

The kids were well entertained throughout the day.

Beer gardens opened in the afternoon and carried on into the evening.

Another fun element was the Carnduff Fire Department setting up their truck and allowing kids to try their hand at using the fire hose to knock down targets. Other kids’ activities included a fish swim at the pool, a scavenger hunt, laser tag and more bouncers.

For those 16 years and

older, they had the opportunity to try their hand at using the jaws of life, which was quite the experience.

A homemade pie contest happened around supper time. The judges were Const. Calvin Tsang, firefighter Alex Belke, deputy reeve Clint Paton, Cannington MLA Daryl Harrison and Mayor Ross Apperley. The best overall taste went to Yvonne Carlton, and she also won for best filling. The best crust went to Crystal Wilson and best presentation went to Jamie Sorestad.

At the end, the pies were cut into slices and auctioned off, with proceeds going to the Carnduff Swimming Pool project to replace some rubber matting.

Another contest that was held was a yarddecorating contest. It was not only for residents in town, but for businesses and for the rural community.

Yvonne Carlton won for residential, rural was won by Colleen Goertz and Flying M Diner took home the business win.

Zaanti Spa and Hichael’s Coffee Shop popped up a café, while local ice cream shop Orioles Paradise Bed and Breakfast and Chapman’s Ice Cream provided free ice cream for 250 people, while The Szakacs Family provided the live entertainment. A Filipino community booth was also set up.

When dusk hit, generous sponsors and businesses set off a spectacular fireworks display, and once this was done over 250 people went back to

the main street to enjoy live music from The People.

Tara Beck, Carnduff’s assistant administrator and community development officer, said the turnout was great.

“We are so happy with the turnout, and the feedback has been great,” said Beck. “We will be holding another one next year.”

“We had an amazing and energetic organizing committee,” she said. “And we also had many

great volunteers to make this event so successful.” Beck figures they had over 500 people attend the festivities, but it could have been more because the event was free.

“We had fabulous weather,” said Beck. “We hope to see everyone come out next year for loads of family fun.” The event was intended to bring the community together and have fun, and this is what they feel they accomplished.

Michelle Cooper of Carlyle has always been a big supporter of her community.

Recently she was awarded the Bowl of Hygeia, a prestigious award and the highest honour in the pharmacy profession.

The Pharmacy Association of Saskatchewan held its conference Sept. 14-15 in Regina, and Cooper was presented with the honour.

Cooper’s connection to Carlyle runs deep. She and her husband Brad made their home in Carlyle where she was raised. Together they are raising two children, Jessica and Ryan, who attend school in Carlyle.

The town has always been a strong anchor for Cooper, and she has continuously given

back to the community that has shaped her for many years.

Being a founding partner of Legacy Pharmacies, which operates seven pharmacies across Saskatchewan under the Pharmasave and Pharmachoice banners, she still ﬁnds time to be part of the community through volunteer work.

Cooper is actively involved in several organizations, including the Carlyle Lions Club, the school community council, Carlyle Fun Dayz committee and the White Bear Cottagers Association. She has volunteered hundreds of hours to help keep organizations going, while being busy with her career.

Bjarnason-

Stomp was born and raised in the Stoughton area. When she was younger, she had many unexplained experiences and unusual encounters that prompted her curiosity into the unknown, and it has shaped her into the spiritual healer she is today.

Even at a young age, she often intuitively helped people overcome their challenges, assisting them with seeking answers to the unanswerable, attempting to deﬁne and understand experiences throughout life.

“I have always been in-

trigued and drawn to the metaphysical realms,” said Bjarnason-Stomp. With 35 years of learning, healing, teaching and sharing her passion, she simulates thoughtprovoking conversations which will lead a person to explore their own abilities and connections to the spirit realms. Bjarnason-Stomp is the owner and operator of Here N There Healing and has Sassy Soul Shop in Fillmore. She will now be oﬀering her services at Beauty By Jo in Stoughton.

She is a certiﬁed hypnotist, reiki practitioner, reﬂexologist, angel card reader and medium. Through her

business, she oﬀers private readings and sessions, holds group meditations, drum circles, weekend workshops and attends diﬀerent events, designed with inviting a variety of practitioners and talents to her shop in order to help spread the joy of spirituality, natural healing and the arts.

According to Bjarnason-Stomp, reﬂexology is a gentle way of shifting energy by manipulating the pressure points in a person’s feet in a relaxing environment, to allow the person to unwind and let go. This ancient technique explores the natural healing within the body by stimulating the organs and glands to function as they should. A detoxing foot sock begins the session.

Her hypnosis therapy is great for relaxation, anxiety, sleep patterns, fears and phobias, healthy lifestyle changes, past life regressions and much more.

The Bowl of Hygeia was ﬁrst presented in 1958 in the U.S. and came to Canada in 1961. It is now recognized in the 10 provinces, as each province holds its own awards. Nominations are usually done in secrecy.

The word Hygeia is rooted from Greek mythology. It is said that Hygeia was the daughter of the god of health, and she tended to the temples and people of her time. Her cup has come to represent medicine and her snake to represent healing.

This award is one of the longest-standing, continuously-presented pharmacy honours in Canada.

“It also realigns a person’s chakras, which are the energy centres located in the body.” Her mediumship is

a way for connecting and bringing forth healing messages and guidance from crossed-over loved ones through spirit guides and angelic realms.

A non-judgmental group meditation oﬀers support, while allowing ones self to help through their healing journey, this can also be the drum

Bjarnason-Stomp feels that every person has the ability to posses natural entities that a person can work on, and this is done through her weekend workshops.

“Sharing personal experiences in a gentle manner, non-judgmental environment with likeminded people can help to build conﬁdence in our own spiritual path,

“said Bjarnason-Stomp.

“I value the connections I build with my clients and pride myself on maintaining honesty, integrity and trust in all my work,” she said.

She continues to explore, learn and delve into both the metaphysical and spiritual aspects of life, through her work.

Moosomin airport runway project is complete

The Government of Saskatchewan and the Moosomin region have come together to celebrate the completion of a brand-new runway located at the Moosomin Airport.

According to a government news release, with the project complete, this runway now allows the local airport to land fixed-wing air ambulances and better positions the southeast of the province for growth.

The provincial government says it invested more than $2.4 million toward the estimated $10 million Moosomin Airport infrastructure

project, which includes a 5,000-foot by 75-foot paved runway, along with a new taxiway and apron completed this summer. New navigation and weather systems will be completed in the future.

“Aviation is an essential part of Saskatchewan’s transportation network,” Highways Minister Lori Carr said.

“This project illustrates the significance of maintaining and improving the infrastructure necessary to ensure the continuation of vital services like air ambulance, business and agriculture operations, and private

usage. Congratulations to the communities, businesses and partners in the region for working so hard together toward a common goal to land this milestone.”

The municipal airport is operated by the RM of Moosomin. The remainder of the project is funded by local municipalities, area community

members and various donations.

“Although our municipality owns this airport, this aviation infrastructure serves the Moosomin region’s residents, families, local businesses and industries,” RM of Moosomin Reeve David Moffatt said. “Thanks to neighbours coming together and the provin-
