Town of Carlyle commits $2.5 million to new school
The Town of Carlyle has stepped forward with its support for the new pre-kindergarten-Grade 12 school to be built in the community.
Carlyle town council held a special meeting Sept. 24 to determine its commitment to the South East Cornerstone Public School Division’s new school. At this meeting, council passed a resolution to donate $2.5 million towards the additional space and alternate enhancement costs provided by Potsma Consulting and the Number Ten Architectural Group.
“A new school for the town of Carlyle has been in the works for many years; we are thankful to all the school staff, principals, school division staff, school board trustees, community members and councils before us who have worked towards this initiative,” the town said in a news release. “It is rewarding to see these plans come to fruition and be able to contribute to the success of the project.”
The news release went on to say that careful fiscal management over multiple terms of council and higher interest rates over the last few years on invested funds has created the opportunity for the town to contribute to this project without hindering future councils or taxpayers.
The new school project is currently in the design phase, with the overall goal being one year for design and two years for construction. The goal is for the school to be open in September 2027.
Cornerstone Theatre open mic sessions are back
By Jessica Shirley
The southeast corner of Saskatchewan is buzzing with talent, and Cornerstone Theatre wants to nurture that creativity.
In the fall of 2023, the theatre set out to create a welcoming method for artists to develop and showcase their work, and now the tradition continues. The second season of these inclusive, interactive open mic events kicked off on Sept. 15 with Kylee Carver and her heartwarming comedic partner Daryl hosting the afternoon.
An open mic event is an opportunity for amateur and professional performers alike to take the stage in a relaxed, supportive environment. Cornerstone Theatre takes care of everything – the venue, sound system, volunteers and even the monthly host. It also provides coffee and water, and manages sign-ups for a limited number of performers.
The host’s role, which will rotate among familiar local and not-so-local talent, in-
volves warming up the crowd with 20-30 minutes of music. This mini-showcase gives the audience something right from the start. Afterwards, the host introduces the performers, each of whom gets the chance to present one to three pieces of their own material. Occasionally, the host might offer musical support, but the spotlight is on the entertainment. No two shows are the same. Musicians, singers, stand-up comedians, writers, actors and even dancers are welcome to take part. Performers of all ages, from kids to seniors, are encouraged to join in, whether solo or in groups. Each performer will be given a set time, ensuring everyone gets their moment to shine.
Performers can sign up either by messaging the “Cornerstone Theatre Open Mic” Facebook page with their performance details, or by signing up at the ticket booth on the day of the event (if spots are still available). Performers get free admission, while audience members pay $10 for adults, $5 for kids under 12, or $30
for a family. All proceeds cover event costs, with any extra funds going toward theatre equipment and upkeep. As always, a portion will be donated
to the local food bank. To keep things affordable and fun, Cornerstone Theatre encourages a potluck-style snack table, though it’s not re-
quired. Coffee and water will always be provided for everyone.
Looking ahead, the next open mic is set for Oct. 6 at 2 p.m., featuring Jacquie Walbaum of Forget as host. Walbaum is a local artist, known for her work as a solo performer and as part of duos like Duelling Sirens and Wooltree Grove. She’s also a dedicated mentor to young artists, having taught at the Kenosee Lake Kitchen Party, and she brings a wealth of experience as an open mic host from venues like the Happy Nun Café. Doors will open at 1:30 p.m.
The plan is to continue hosting open mic events on the first Sunday of every month (except December), including Nov. 3 at 2 p.m. in the Carlyle Theatre. Hosts for each month will be announced on the Cornerstone Theatre Open Mic Facebook page.
Whether you want to perform, volunteer or just enjoy the show, all supporters and enthusiasts are welcome. If you’d like to volunteer, simply message on Facebook.

Carlyle motocross races drew lots of entries
By Stephanie Zoer
The Bowan Rekken Race Track in Carlyle wrapped up its motocross season on Sept. 21-22, drawing a large and enthusiastic collection of riders.
The one day was a makeup date for August, when torrential rains caused the event to be postponed. The track turned into a swimming pool.
The event, which attracted participants from all around, featured races across various age groups and skill levels, highlighting the talent and dedication of the motocross community.
The track was built in 2004 in memory of Bowan Rekken, the son of Kelly and Susan Rekken, who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 19.
In 2007, the motocross circuit began in Carlyle, and it has been going strong ever since.
Susan and Kelly Rek-
As the count down
ken are life members. They are very involved in the organization and now have grandchildren taking part in the events.
According to Susan Rekken, it takes a lot of volunteers to make this track what it is today, and she is very thankful for Brian, Marylee and Kate Lees.
Kaylan and Bjorn Rekken, along with Wayne and Christy King. Chris, Brandy, Matt and Parker Russill, along with Brad Wyatt and Devin Van Meer, also contribute.
Joey and Dante Nelson and Skylar Vicary are also great volunteers. Noah Peters and Jeremy Tes-
sier are always there to help.
Rekken said these volunteers spend endless hours preparing the track for practices and race days, keeping the grass trimmed, helping with flagging and the list goes on.
The turnout for the
September races exceeded expectations, with 180 entries on both days and spectators coming together to enjoy the wellmaintained track and competitive spirit.
The races were part of the South Corner Racing Circuit motocross series.
Although this was the
final meet at the Carlyle track, on September 2829, they will race in Estevan.
The youngest rider to attend was four years old, riding a 50cc bike. As long as a child can ride a bike, they are allowed to take part in the event.
Devron Brown of River, Man., had a bet with his father Jeff at the age of three, that if he could ride his two-wheel bike, a motocross bike would be in the future. Brown began riding his motocross bike when he was five years old and loves it. As the countdown began, the motors revved up and the bar dropped down, the mud went flying, and the races were underway.
The track consists of twists and turns and several hills that the bikers soared over to demonstrate their abilities.
Spearing Service donated the water truck and Moose Mountain Leisure provided the side by side. Both help with track conditions and making the event happen.

Wild Hogs Bike Rally great time in Arcola
By Dolores Young
The rumble of motorcycles was heard at the second annual Wild Hogs Bike Rally at the Arcola fairgrounds and pavilion from Sept. 6-8.
The rally is a funfilled event with music, food, motorbike rides and games, a slo-pitch tournament plus a tradeshow. The Good to Go Shuttle was available for anyone requiring a ride to and from the rally.
Proceeds from rally will be donated to the Arcola Daycare and Arcola Prairie Place complex.
Approximately 120 bikers from Prince Albert, Outlook, Regina, Kisbey, Carlyle, Manor, Torquay and other areas came to enjoy the rally. There was a 50/50 draw for those who went on a ride, with the winner receiving $210.
Camping was available for all at the Arcola fairgrounds, or people could stay at the hotels in Arcola or Carlyle.
A 50/50 draw for the weekend brought in $1,266 and the lucky winner went away with $633.
The rally started on Sept. 6 with a supper; the brisket was donated by Integrity Oilfield Hauling and B&B Oilfield. Weir’s Catering smoked the brisket and provided all
the fixings for supper. It was followed by beer gardens and entertainment by AC Entertainment for the evening.
The next day started off with breakfast, followed by the ride at 10 a.m. The route went from Arcola to Redvers, then onto Gainsborough for a stopover and rest period. Then they went to Oxbow, Lampman and finally back to Arcola.
Trish McNeil held a tradeshow in the pavilion with numerous vendors. When all the riders returned to the fairgrounds, the games commenced. There were people games and motorcycle games
with one or two riders, depending on the game. Among the games played were the pipe run, wiener grab, run the plank, a hoop toss over pilings and the barrel race.
A slo-pitch double-knockout tournament had five teams but two teams had to drop out. The Piss Tankz Players from Arcola/Carlyle, Hawk Tueys from White Bear First Nations and Manor Mayhew competed, with the Mayhew coming away with the win.
A pig roast supper was served after the games, thanks to Chalice Land & Cattle Corp., and Henry
and Wendi McCarthy for the donation of the pigs. Approximately 70 people enjoyed the roasted pig, baked potatoes and baked beans.
Many enjoyed the evening entertainment by Ragged Edge from Regina.
A breakfast on Sept. 8 wrapped up the activities.
Southeast Apparel & Prints and Pioneer Plumbing supplied the t-shirts and tank tops that were for sale at the rally and they also made all the banners for the rally.
Committee members were Bill Slykhuis, Wendy Byrant, Archie Kamp,
Nicole Osadchuk, Jesse Hunter, Shawn Berkshire and Trish McNeil.
The Wild Hogs Bike Rally thanks all volunteers for their help during the weekend and also to everyone that attended. Thanks also goes out to the
and the agricultural society for the use of the pavilion for the
and the kitchen for the suppers.

The journey towards Truth and Reconciliation
Stephanie Zoer
Just a few words
In Canada, Truth and Reconciliation is not just a phrase or policy but a journey – a path toward healing and understanding that affects every citizen, Indigenous or non-Indigenous alike.
The history of residential schools and the injustices suffered by Indigenous peoples in this country cannot be erased, but it can be faced with honesty, empathy, and a commitment to meaningful action.
The 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) laid the foundation for this journey with its 94 Calls to Action. These recommendations, meant to address the legacy of residential schools and advance the process of reconciliation, serve as a roadmap for how Canada can repair its relationship with Indigenous peoples.
However, the pace of implementation has been slow, and the question remains, how committed is Canada to this path?
True reconciliation requires a reckoning with the past. Residential schools, which operated for over a century, sought to erase Indigenous culture, language and identity.
The effects of this cultural genocide reverberate today in the form of intergenerational trauma, systemic inequality, and persistent social and economic disparities.
Non-Indigenous Canadians must not shy away from acknowledging the harm that has been done. Recognition and understanding are the first steps to meaningful reconciliation.
But truth alone is not enough. Reconciliation demands action. The Calls to Action from the TRC address areas like child welfare, education, language preservation, health and justice.
While some progress has been made, particularly in public awareness and symbolic gestures like the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Sept. 30, there is still much work to be done in areas like systemic reform and resource allocation.
Indigenous communities continue to face challenges in accessing clean water, health care and equitable education – issues that remain glaring failures in a nation as prosperous as Canada.
Education plays a crucial role in fostering understanding. Schools across the country are now beginning to incorporate Indigenous history and culture into their curricula, but this is still a work in progress.
Younger generations must be equipped with the knowledge of Canada’s true history, not the sanitized version that has dominated the national narrative for so long. Only through honest education can the wounds of the past begin to heal.
At the same time, Indigenous voices must be at the forefront of the reconciliation process. Too often, decisions are made about Indigenous peoples without their full participation.
True reconciliation cannot happen unless Indigenous communities are empowered to lead the process and define what reconciliation means to them.
For non-Indigenous Canadians, reconciliation involves more than just passive acknowledgment. It requires a commitment to listen, learn and take meaningful action.
This can mean advocating for policy changes, supporting Indigenous businesses and initiatives, and engaging in community efforts that foster dialogue and understanding.
Reconciliation is not a one-time event or a box to check, it is an ongoing responsibility.
Canada stands at a critical junction. The path to reconciliation is long, and there are no shortcuts. But by confronting our history, supporting Indigenous self-determination, and working together toward a more equitable future, Canada can become a nation where justice and healing are not just ideals but realities.
The question is not whether reconciliation is possible but whether we are willing to do the hard work required to achieve it.
On Sept. 30 across many communities, there will be Truth and Reconciliation gatherings. Take the time to be part of this and do your part in supporting this important cause.
Wear your orange shirt and if you do not have one, purchase one from a company that will give back to the community.
It is so important that we stand together and make the future brighter for everyone.
“The greatest glory in living is not in falling, but in rising every time we fall.”
- Nelson Mandela
It’s not a dance. It’s a way of life
That was a statement made to me in an interview in August 2021 by Saskatchewan hoop dancer Terrence Littletent of the Kawacatoose Cree Nation.
We were meeting over Zoom and I remember how nervous I was talking to the performer who had recently been in Outlook. I felt I was being given a unique opportunity and strove to ask the best questions.
It was a story I wanted to write after being at Canada Day events a few weeks earlier. You might remember Canada Day 2021. It was brutally hot. After a parade we headed indoors to much-appreciated air conditioning and thought how nice it would be to spend the rest of the day inside.
But over at the Rec Plex in Outlook, activities were getting underway, including the performance of hoop dancer Terrence Littletent and a group of drummers. I had seen hoop dancers many times before and besides, that particular year Canada Day was fraught with tension. Calls for cancellations were heard from various places across the country and frankly, that made me mad. I didn’t support that viewpoint, yet wondered if it might be easiest to just avoid it altogether.
The hoop dancer was more
than a performance. Littletent and the drummers were there not to simply entertain. They taught, encouraged and inspired us to consider history and be willing to listen to the stories and understand the pain of the past so that we could move into a more fitting future.
I felt my smugness fall away as I realized I had so much more to do. I wanted to speak with Littletent and ask the questions I had wrestled with over the last number of years. I was thrilled when he readily agreed to talk to me.
Littletent struggled growing up as he learned of the experiences of his kokum and father in residential schools, leaving him feeling unsure about his heritage. “I didn’t know who I was,” he shared. “I didn’t know my place in society.” But when he was introduced to hoop dancing he was provided with a new perspective of his culture, pride in his people and the potentially powerful role it can play in understanding and healing.
During that Canada Day performance, he picked up three hoops and talked about the concept of one representing Indigenous people, one representing non-Indigenous people, and one between them, demonstrating the need to bridge the two.
That moment of symbolism resonated with the crowd that got to its feet in a sustained ovation. Was the ovation a way to say we agreed? That we were hearing him? That we were willing to learn more? I hope I can say it was all of the above. When I made mention of what it meant to be in the audience at that moment, Littletent said he wouldn’t forget what it was like for him.
“I was really emotional when
I saw that,” he shared. “They were standing and so many were wearing orange shirts. I was really touched and thought ‘wow, this is a beautiful moment.’”
I was moved because something so simple said so much. He was moved that something that said so much could be said so simply.
Sept. 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. I am concerned that the topic I hear most often in relation to it is about who gets the day off. This is problematic. Too many might miss the point. I appreciate the desire to establish its importance, but I wonder if staying on the job or staying in class would have been better so that at some point of the day a learning opportunity could be accessed by all. Otherwise, there is a worry it becomes just another holiday. Just another three-day weekend.
There is a bounty of articles, documentaries, podcasts and books that provide perspectives we may not yet have had a chance to explore. What better time than now.
Coming to terms with this part of the nation’s history will require effort. “All we ask is for people to understand, not to be judgmental, and not to ask people to ‘get over it,’” Littletent implored. “We are not here to be in conflict, we just need to understand our history.” Terrance Littletent is not the only interview I have done on this topic but it is the one that has come to mind recently. He described hoop dancing as a way of life. It benefits us all that he is using his way of life to encourage conversation in the hope it will help us all live with greater understanding. That’s my outlook.

Fuel Good Day in Arcola bene ts Prairie Place complex
By Stephanie Zoer
Across Western Canada, Cooperative gas stations held their Fuel Good Day on Sept. 17.
At the Arcola Co-operative gas station, they chose to donate to the Arcola Recreation Board for seating upgrades at the Arcola Prairie Place Complex.
Ten cents of every litre of fuel sold on this day was donated back to the community recreation board and it was a busy day.
Additionally, as part of the Fuel Good Day, the town organ-
ized a barbecued meal which had council members volunteering to help in the evening, adding to the day.
General manager Matthew Alemy said the day went great and the strong winds kept the wasps away during the barbecue, which had a steady lineup.
Adding to this excitement, Monster Enterprises donated a Pit Boss four-burner griddle for a raffle draw.
Tanya Pongracz, manager of the Arcola gas station, was the winner of the prize.
“The day went great with many of our consumers, agricultural and commercial members coming to fill their tanks that day in support of the community,” said Almey.
Arcola recreation director Vanessa Dahl was pleased that they were chosen for the Fuel Good Day. She has been the director since November 2022.
At the end of the day, the Arcola Co-op and all those who took the time to fuel up that day and purchase a burger raised $3,656.19 for the Prairie Place Complex.
Southern Plains Co-op’s Fuel Good Day raises nearly $7,000
Southern Plains Co-op’s Fuel Good Day, held on Sept. 17 at the co-op gas bars in Estevan, Carlyle and Oxbow, was once again a big success.
“Thanks to your support and generosity, we raised a total of $6,987.96 for local organizations across our communities,” the co-op said on its website.
The funds will be split between three organizations.
The Carlyle Curling Club will be presented with a cheque for $2,544.43 to help fund their youth curling program.
The Oxbow Rink will add $1,003.83 to their account to go towards the new ice plant.
The Estevan Early Years Family Resource Centre will receive $3,439.70 for their free family programs and supports.
The funds were collected through the co-op’s Fuel Good Day initiative, with 10 cents per litre of fuel sold and all proceeds from their $1 coffee sales going towards the local total.
“Every litre of fuel and every cup of coffee added up to make a big difference in these communities,” the coop said.
“We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by and support Fuel Good Day. Your participation helps these organizations continue their important work, and together, we’re making a real impact—one litre at a time.
“Let’s keep fuelling the good in our communities,” the organization added.

Re ections on Truth and Reconciliation
By Amy Rutten
The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is an extremely important day in Canada.
The Calls to Action were developed to mobilize all levels of government, organizations and individuals to make concrete changes in society. Gordon F. Kells High School continues to work on the 63rd call to action throughout the school year.
We are planning to emphasize this Call to Action during
the week leading up to and following the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Our classroom teachers have planned lessons around Truth and Reconciliation, and our student leadership team is encouraging staff and students to wear orange shirts.
On Sept. 27, our community education liaison has invited our entire school to participate in a walk and attend a presentation at the Carlyle Elementary School from White Bear First Nations Chief Jonathan Pas-
ap. The community is welcome to join our students on the walk. Call to Action No. 63 encourages building capacity for intercultural understanding, empathy and mutual respect. To work on that action, our staff will be attending the Day of Truth and Reconciliation at White Bear First Nations on Sept. 30, and our Grade 11 and 12 students will attend Cadmus Delorme’s presentation in Arcola on Oct. 1. We remain committed to Truth and Reconciliation and value it in our school.

Point of view on Truth and Reconciliation
By Chief Jonathan Pasap
As chief of the White Bear First Nations, representing not only my nation but also being a stakeholder and a rightsholder in our neighbouring towns and communities, it is paramount that we embrace the principles of Truth and Reconciliation.
By recognizing the truths of our shared history and working together towards healing and understanding, we lay the foundation for a more harmonious and prosperous future for all.
In Canada, we learn about the history between Indigenous peoples and settlers. It’s essential to understand the truth about the past to build a better future together. By listening, learning and being kind to one another, we can create a more peaceful and inclusive world.
We can all learn about the Truth and Reconciliation Commision’s 94 Calls to Action about the residential school history and how Canada is working towards reconciliation today.
Through open dialogue, mutual respect, and solidarity, we can honour the past, bridge divides and forge a path towards unity and progress for the residents of White Bear First Nations and
our surrounding communities. Let us stand united in truth and reconciliation, fostering a spirit of collaboration and growth across our interconnected region.
This statement aims to reflect commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, not only within White Bear First Nations but also among the
neighbouring towns and communities, emphasizing a collective journey towards healing and unity.
Everyone is invited for the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation Walk happening on Monday, Sept. 30 at 2 p.m. on White Bear First Nations.
