Celebrating the service past, present and future

By Deb Andrew Never before has this generation of Canadians been in need of taking the time to remember.

Our country is suffering economic and political turmoil in pandemic proportions after years of peace, prosperity and freedom. The generations that have gone before have wisdom to share when it comes to standing up for what is good and right and true.

Is being required to wear a mask persecution? What would our veterans say about fighting for our rights? If we take the time to remember the personal stories and the overall victory, freedom has nothing to do with comfort.

Nedra Clark did not seem deterred at all as she described the mandated outdoor service hosted by the Carlyle Royal Canadian Legion members and local volunteers. Although this service would not include a guest speaker or an offering plate being passed around, the heart of gratitude for all who have served in any form of military was as evident as ever.

“We were not able to participate in the door to door poppy campaign this year so that will significantly reduce our intake of funds,” Clark explained. “Our poppy funds are set in trust and are designated for veterans and their families.

Dominion gives us guidelines on how funds can be spent. We have been able to apply to contribute locally to the hospital, nursing home, air cadets, and

RCMP officers and legion members were part of this year’s Remembrance Day service. the food bank when they have needs that meet the criteria.”

Clark also commented on how proud she is of present members (meeting monthly before COVID), who are excited and dedicated in collaborating to enable them to continue to serve the community.

Regardless of age, the 15-18 members are going strong and would welcome more who are interested in bettering themselves and serving the community.

Technology co-operated as the Royal Canadian Legion in Carlyle ceremonially remembered the fallen and survivors of the battles of the past and present. Participants (some

tearfully), sang along proudly with our national anthem and watched from their vehicles at the marching of the colours,

roll call, last stand and laying of wreaths. Gratefully celebrating freedom without the freedom to be indoors together

or do things the way we traditionally would, proved uncomfortable in many ways. Let our discomfort remind us of the conditions our troops suffered through to fight for this country. The cold, the disease, the lack of communication, not knowing if a comrade is dead or alive; feel that discomfort.

Let our discomfort remind us that the fight was always for humanity’s freedom from oppression and evil. Sit quietly for five minutes, just five, and feel the discomfort of the mental and emotional pain of killing another human being or watching one you love die beside you. Let our discomfort remind us that their victory was not in vain but should be taught, celebrated and cherished by all. We remember.

If you were unable to attend or give a donation to the Royal Canadian Legion in Carlyle and would like to do so, you can contact any Legion member or send a cheque to: Box 158, Carlyle, SK, S0C 0R0.

Wreaths were placed for the ceremony.

They can be emailed to arrange for a conference time.

Student-led conferencing occurs from 5-8 p.m. on Nov. 25 and 26.

As always, pandemic responses by our school are constantly under review. Restrictions at this time have been loosened in terms of student cohorts being able to engage in more sporting activities during physi-

cal education classes and allowing intramurals at noon hour. As the weather gets colder, we know this will be a great thing for kids.

Otherwise, your school is prepared for anything that comes its way during this pandemic. Our students have been doing a great job of adjusting to the new routines and we would like to acknowledge the support of our community.

If you are ordering your pictures through the school please have your order to the office by the end of the day on Nov. 12.

You can order online following the instructions in your picture package.

Picture retake day will be on Nov. 19. Only those students who were not in attendance on Oct. 21, or whose parents/ caregivers notify the office prior to Nov. 19 will be on the list for retakes.

Though we were unable to have a live Remembrance Day program this year, the students watched a recorded GFK Remembrance Day program which included student readings and videos. Students also put up a Remembrance

Day bulletin board and images in the school hallways.

The band will be doing the annual fruit and cookie dough sale, but the company isn’t doing anything this fall. The band students plan to start selling in January with delivery in March.

Thank you for your continued support of the band program in Carlyle.

All your school information can be found on the GF Kells website on the Southeast Cornerstone School Division website under the “schools” tab.

Special visitor Sgt. Zane Vanderhuist visited the preschoolers at the Arcola Day Care on Monday to talk about Remembrance Day. Vanderhuist is a daycare dad and an artillery reservist based in Yorkton. He joined the Canadian Forces in 2003 as a student and has since served overseas and in Arcola. He continues to work weekends and complete courses while doing his civilian job in Arcola and area.

Carlyle and other fire departments extinguished blaze

By Ana Bykhovskaia A fire that consumed about 4,000 acres of pasture and prairie land last Wednesday was probably one of the biggest and most difficult emergencies southeast Saskatchewan has seen in recent years.

The call for service came in at about 3 p.m.

The Portal International Fire Department was the first one on the scene, with the Oxbow/ Enniskillen Fire Department joining for mutual aid in a matter of a few minutes. The two departments took over the dual incident command role, co-ordinating what turned out to be a battle that took 11 fire entities and seven hours to win.

The fire started south of Frobisher.

Highway 9 South, approximately six kilometres north of the Canada-U.S. border was closed and the public was asked to avoid the area as dozens of firefighters along with local farmers, water haulers, RM representatives and others were trying to tame the raging elements.

"Off the start, it was pretty chaotic. It was challenging, just trying to figure out where we could even get to it. And also trying to co-ordinate that many people

was difficult. The wind was definitely not in our favour and causing a lot of grief for everybody involved," said Oxbow/ Enniskillen Fire Chief Doug Pierce.

"All in all it was definitely a very tough fire to fight. The terrain definitely played a big role, with hills and rocks and not being able to get to where we wanted to."

At some point, the fire was also getting close to a few buildings.

"We had a couple of homes that we were concerned about, but we were able to get it under control before it got too close to the houses," said Pierce.

There were 17 members of the Oxbow/Enniskillen Fire Department working on scene alongside dozens of other Canadian and American firefighters that day.

"It was a staggering number (of firefighters), that's for sure," said Pierce. "And there is always a potential for firefighters to be in danger. It was so smoky, there were times when you couldn't see where you were going or where you needed to get to. So there is always the potential of that danger.

"But we had really good communication amongst all fire departments and everybody put in a great effort to

be where they needed to be at any given time and I think we handled the danger part of it quite well."

Pierce added that while he and the Portal fire chief were the ones co-ordinating the operation over the radio, other fire departments were great to work with, every department played a big role and they all worked as a team.

That was the biggest operation that the Oxbow/Enniskillen Fire Department had to deal with. They've had some big fires that they've fought before, but it never involved so many people.

Pierce said it was about 4 p.m. when firefighters finally were able to get the flames under control and proceed with full extinguishment.

A flare stack started the fire.

When the operation was finally accomplished, local social media got flooded with gratitude to all people involved.

"Thanks to all fire departments that responded to fight the wild grass fire. Thank you to the RM of Coalfields and RM of Enniskillen for the graders and water truck. Shaw Earth Moving and Iron Side contractors that

Local man opens new business in Carlyle

By Lisa McCullough A new business has opened in Carlyle.

Nick Bax, owner of the new business Bax Performance, says Carlyle is his hometown so it made sense to open his business here. Bax Performance is an automotive and motorcycle performance shop.

“I decided to fire up this business because it is my passion and something I enjoy doing,” Bax said.

Bax specializes in diesel engines but his shop does it all, from oil changes to a complete performance overhaul in both diesel and gas engines. Nick is the only

employee at the moment; he is running the entire show though he hopes in the future to hire a couple more mechanics for the back and maybe some front end staff as well.

Bax says his shop is open for business but there are renovations being done. He says he is hoping things are back together and complete in the next week or so. The renovations include shelves for products, a clothing line from a company in British Columbia called Lords of Gastown and a brand new waiting room for clients.

Bax performance is located on Railway Avenue East, go in and check things out for yourself.

Carlyle elects a new council Carlyle residents have elected the six individuals who will be town councillors for the next four years.

Seven candidates were on the ballot for Monday night’s civic election. Hugh Hislop finished first with 204 votes, followed by Jared Riddell (195), Nicole Currie (194), John

Brownlee (191), Gordon Paulley (178) and Kelly Lutz (163).

Brownlee and Lutz were the only incumbents in the councillor field.

Scott Kirness finished seventh with 98 votes and will not be part of council.

A total of 245 ballots were submitted for

the election in Carlyle.

There were no spoiled, rejected or objected to ballots.

Jennifer Sedor, who had been part of council in the past term, was acclaimed as mayor when she was the only person to submit a nomination form to be at the helm of council.

This really was a great effort by everyone involved. To everyone who brought water, pizzas, sandwiches it was greatly appreciated and kept all firefighters fed and watered. It doesn't go unnoticed and was greatly appreciated.

To the Carnduff RCMP and Carlyle RCMP for taking control and closing the highway so we could focus on our job.

And to anyone that we missed," said Oxbow/ Enniskillen Fire Department on their Facebook page.

Pierce also pointed out that the spray plane

made a huge difference in the operation.

"Hats off to all agencies involved today from both sides of the international boundary," said Carlyle Fire Department.

The Portal International Fire Department noted that the Carlyle, Oxbow/Enniskillen, Alameda, Frobisher, Bienfait and Estevan departments were involved with the response from Canada, while the Lignite, Columbus, Bowbells, Kenmare and Portal Fire Departments were part of the American response.

“Thank you to the RM of Coalfields and RM of Eniskillen for the motor graders, the oil companies and contractors that brought dozers and water tank-

ers, the farmers and landowners that hauled water, brought discs and tractors. The guys in the planes dropping water. This really was a great effort by everyone involved. To everyone who brought water, pizzas, sandwiches it was greatly appreciated. We are grateful that no occupied structures were lost and everyone made it home safe," said Portal International Fire Department in their Facebook post.

Dozens of comments and posts by fire departments, RMs, businesses and individuals echoed the ones above, thanking everyone involved for conducting a successful operation and putting their own lives at risk protecting the safety of everyone in the area.

Moe wise to tell us to mask up

By Murray Mandryk The decision to order those in the three biggest cities to mask up was not an easy one.

Full marks to Premier Scott Moe and Saskatchewan chief medical health officer Dr. Saqib Shahab for making it.

Notwithstanding the delay in making this call that likely could have come sooner, both deserve credit for making the tough call to implement 28-day mask-wearing order in public spaces in Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert that went into effect on Friday. Further credit should go to both of them for strongly encouraging mask use everywhere in the province, while refraining from making this a province-wide order. Also, it was wise to reduce household gatherings to 10 people from 15.

Total COVID-19 cases hit 4,087 Monday, with 1,289 active cases. Yes, 2,769 have recovered, but 28 have died from a virus for which there is no vaccine. How soon a vaccine will be developed or whether one will be developed at all remains the question.

The problem that Moe and Shahab have in issuing such an order is really two-fold.

The first is somewhat of Moe’s own political making in that he did frame additional and more stringent measures imposed by government as going backwards — something that Moe insisted he would not do.

“We will not have to have an economy-wide shutdown. We understand the virus much better,” Moe near the end of last month’s general election campaign.

Some clearly interpret the mask order as a step backwards. It isn’t. Really, it enhances an economic recovery.

Because many nationwide retailers have a national or international policy on mask use in their premises, it’s required in a lot of stores. What last week’s announcement really does is level the playing field for all retailers, including smaller ones who simply wanted to do the right thing by doing their part to stop the virus spread.

And let us make no mistake that masks do stop the virus spread.

The second big problem for Moe and Shahab implementing anything related to masks is all the misinformation on mask-use wrapped in a lot of politics.

It is rather easy to wander the Internet or YouTube and find some bizarre source of pseudoscience or ones that are deliberately false preaching that masks are even ineffective or even contributing to the spread.

Please, talk to a doctor instead. Any family doctor you entrust with your health will tell you differently.

Sadly, far too many are more eager to listen to rhetoric generated from south of the border.

Some of them eagerly tie it to the federal Liberal government of Justin Trudeau, which is truly bizarre.

There are umpteen legitimate reasons for you to be peeved at Trudeau and the federal Liberals.

This isn’t one of them.

We need to instead focus on is where we are headed in this fight because the growth in COVID-19 cases suggests we are not in a good place.

Perhaps we don’t have the problems of our neighbours in Manitoba that saw total cases quadruple in Manitoba during October or in Alberta, which has nine times as many cases despite only four times the population.

But our numbers show we have our own problems with rapidly rising cases in this second wave.

It took us until May 6 (54 days) to hit 500 cases, until July 22 (67 more days) to hit 1,000 cases, until Aug. 12 (21 more days) to hit 1,500 cases and until Oct. 8 (56 more days) to hit 2,000 cases. However it then took only 14 more days to 2,500 (Oct 22), and eight more days to hit 3,000 (Oct. 30).

This is not where we need to be.

Mask up — not just when you are in the cities but whenever you go out.

O be careful little ears what you hear

Shelley Luedtke It was election night and before the polls had a chance to close I was already settled in my favorite chair.

I was ready. A bowl of munchies and a diet Coke on the table to my right, my phone and laptop to the left, and across the room – the TV. I was ready for the coverage.

All of it.

Other than during the Olympics, elections are the only time I want multiple sources of coverage. I simply don’t want to miss anything so I silence the devices while I watch numbers change, screens get updated and maps get coloured in.

The mute button is key. I can watch multiple platforms but not have to listen to any of the pollsters or pundits.

It makes me rather sad, to be honest. This

was the part I used to love about election coverage; the number crunching and the nitty gritty coming out of campaign war rooms.

But that changed, longer ago than I care to admit.

Now it isn’t analysis so much as it is animosity.

Comments drip with partisanship. Observations are filled with overtone. Arguments seem endless. But with the volume turned down I can take in the information without listening to the quarrel. It’s part of an effort to protect my ears … at the least.

The human ear is a remarkable organ. In addition to its incredible sensitivity and ability to pick up on the smallest of sound vibrations, its complexity allows it to respond to the widest range of stimuli of any of our senses.

Our ears are always on the job. Always taking in sound waves, sending them down the ear canal to the eardrum.

Always causing that eardrum to vibrate, sending fluid into motion.

Always changing that movement into electrical pulses to be sent up to the brain where they can be interpreted as sound.

That’s what our ears are doing for us. So what are

we doing for our ears?

Noise is all around us. From the moment we wake until we collapse into our beds at night, our days are filled with noise. Machines, vehicles, conversation, music, podcasts, TVs and the continuous onslaught of beeps, rings and alarms that keep us alert to what is happening on our devices.

Noise, noise and more noise clamouring for attention. Demanding action.

Our ears are required to absorb it all and it is having an effect. There is a constant din piercing our ears.

The more sustained the decibel, the greater the assault, as well as the potential for damage.

But what about the sounds so lacking in volume that damage is also being done —not to our hearing, but to our hearts. Sounds that have been so drowned out by the noise we’re unable to hear the calls.

The quiet cries of the lonely. The silent hurt of the grieving. The painful rumblings of the hungry.

The hushed desperation of the isolated.

Our attention is often drawn to what is loud, but what a difference we could make if

we were to shift that and listen for the quiet—the quiet longings of voices.

Voices that need to be heard.

The first step is to counteract the roar.

We need to turn down, turn off and silence what comes at us. Turn down the voices reaching through the screens trying to dominate our time.

Turn off the coverage that doesn’t edify.

Silence the phones that are unrelenting in their demands. Turn it off, just for a while, just to try it out and see how it feels.

Part of protecting our hearing is physical.

The other part is being aware of what we’re welcoming in. There’s damage to our well-being when we allow all that noise to have constant access to our souls.

Our ears rarely get a rest, unless we are intentional about giving them one. Protecting our hearing involves being cognizant of what are we listening to, but also what we may not be hearing at all. The decision to push a button and silence the noise may very well mean we are able to respond to what we really need to hear. That’s my outlook.

Carlyle Cougars season starts with games versus Redvers Submitted by Nicole Currie It was back on the ice this past weekend for the Carlyle Cougars.

They didn’t have the final scores that they were looking to open with, but they were still playing. The team has three new players this year that they’d like to welcome: Jon Gaudet, Dawson Lawrence and Preston Carriere.

The Redvers Rockets came into Carlyle Friday and left with a 9-1 win. They are a powerhouse team and Landon Audet stood on his head, making save after save.

The Cougars were on the board first with a goal from Brett Turgeon, assisted by Clayton Geiger and Jesse Matthewson, just five mins into the game. The first ended with a score of 1-1, and then it was Redvers leading

4-1 after two and a 9-1 final.

Saturday, the Cougars headed to Redvers and they did end up doubling their goal total.

Both games had a lot of action. There were a tonne of shots and our score didn’t lack any trying. It was 3-0 Redvers after the first.

Ben Johnstone got the Cougars on the board in the second with an assist from Gaudet, making it 4-1 after 2. Marc Shaw added to that for us in the third with helpers from Preston Carriere and Branden Lequyer. The final score was 9-2 Redvers and Brandon Glasser made his way into net in the third for us, also making some beauty saves.

On Nov. 14, the Cougars will be in Wawota to play the Flyers, on Nov. 20, the KiplingWindthorst Oil Capitals come to town and the Cougars head back there on the 21st.

Gift cards are a great idea, and another fine way to encourage people to shop local The Carlyle Observer hopes you’ll shop locally this year for all your Christmas gift needs, and we’re doing our part to ensure promoting local businesses.

The Observer Gift Card Feature will run every Friday from Nov. 13 to Dec. 18.

The businesses participating in the promotion have gift cards available for customers to purchase and provide as gifts this year.

The Observer already has King’s Department Store, The Moose Head Inn and

the Carlyle Pharmasave on board. It’s not too late for your business to join and let people know that you have gift cards available for Christmas this year.

And, of course, the gift card can then be used to purchase a variety of items from these great businesses.

It is hard to enjoy the Christmas season if you are trying to navigate crowded stores in a big city, or worried that your online purchases will not arrive in time. At

this time, it’s more important than ever to shop local.

Our region is blessed to have a wealth of great businesses, so it’s easy to see why shopping local is the way to go this Christmas season.

Buying local stimulates your region’s economy, and it helps create more jobs in your area and provides many families with a much-needed financial boost during the holidays.

Give a gift that is sure to please anyone on your list!

Find the perfect Gift Card at these participating local businesses!

Oxbow health care auxiliary closer to their goal for a new van

way Health Centre, due to having a hard time finding parts for their old vehicle.

“To date, our group has raised more than 75 per cent of the projected $120,000 needed to purchase a van,” said Alison Duncan, who is the auxiliary’s president.

The handivan at the Galloway Health Centre is used to drive longterm care residents out for shopping trips, country drives or even

appointments, making it a very valuable and much needed asset to the centre and its people. The current van is safe to drive and use but because of its age it has become harder to service and acquire parts for.

“COVID-19 has totally changed the look of fundraising for many groups. To that end, we are reaching out and looking for community and corporate support as we face the final hurdle of getting that van,” Duncan expresses.

The auxiliary would like the public's help in reaching their goal so if you have a fundraising idea or know of any other way that they could reach their final goal, reach out and contact them at oxbowaux@gmail.com.

The Oxbow Health Care Auxiliary is fundraising for a new handivan.

Alida news - village pauses to remember Submitted by Edel Cowan The Alida community extends sincere sympathy to Bill and Kathy Antony on the unexpected death of their grandson, William Kenneth Kayne, on Nov. 3 in Saskatoon at the age of 28 years. Kayne leaves to mourn his passing his mother Willa, brothers Jesse and Elijah, grandparents Bill and Kathy and extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Condolences are

extended to all members of the Anthony family.

Wednesday, November 11 – Remembrance Day was held. Once again this pandemic will make an impact into events and something different will probably take place.

Whichever it is, hopefully you were able to celebrate this event in one form or another, even if only among your family as you remember those who has fought in our world wars and other wars as well.

Some gave the ulti-

mate sacrifice, some made it home safely. Whichever it is we will “Remember Them.” I hope you picked up your poppy and wore it proudly.

The Alida Rec Board has decided to serve takeout suppers to anyone interested. Their first meal will be an autumn turkey supper on Nov. 15. People were asked to purchase their pre-order by Nov. 8 at the store at 306-4432444. The meal is to be picked up at the Alida rink. Do keep your eyes

Maryfield Sunrise Villa news Submitted by Joyce Gillies Firstly, I must apologize for omitting a sincere thank you to Judy Skiba for again extending her usual shift (on staff) an extra hour to accompany us (the tenants) on piano for an unscheduled sing along one afternoon.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic: has changed many activities in our lives, the staff and others have stepped in, knowing the days can be very lengthy without activity.

We are extremely thankful for their time spent as long as they remember to

wear their masks. That is very important.

Visitors were as follows: Richard Ketcheson, Rhonda Ross, Valerie Puskas, Dallas and Debbie Toms, Verla Smith, Freda Fletcher, Gwen Donais, Blair Wilson, Phil Mark, Cheryl Friesen, Janet Thiessen, Ingrid Hansen, Wayne Smith, Wendy Currie, Roy Bortolotto, Sharon Beutler, Rhonda Sweeting, Grant Wilson, Valerie Van Dresar, Roy Swanton, Morley Hamilton, Dennis and Gisele Toms, and Wayne and Jason Smyth.

Our scheduled activities have been ongo-

ing. Bingo is two or three times weekly, floor curling and exercises as well as Friday evening movie are also happening.

Doris Erickson is kept busy as activity director and I often think about the walking exercises she gets coming and going to fulfill her responsibilities. I'm sure she is thankful that the snow has disappeared for a bit longer period.

As you have already noticed the visitor register puts a smile on our faces and we are always thankful that our families and friends take the time to drop by.

and ears open as there are plans in the works for further Take-out suppers to come.

Please remember folks keep me posted whenever you have news – simply contact me anytime on the happenings that are going on in and

around Alida as well as within your own family circle. Call me at 306443-2496, text 306-4858561 or e-mail g.cowan@ sasktel.net.

I will see that your news gets into a paper. I do appreciate all your input as it does help keep

this column interesting.

Do be careful when out and about. Keep at a safe distance, wear a mask if necessary – it’s much better to be safe than sorry.

Until next time, keep smiling, think positive, drive safely and take care.

Paying respects Constable Dani Zaya of the Carlyle RCMP Detachment pays his respects to the fallen soldiers named on the Arcola cenotaph during a Remembrance Day service in the town on Nov. 6. Zaya was part of Arcola’s video service – in lieu of an in-person ceremony – which can be seen at www. arcolaremembers.ca.

Wawota weekly news - community honours those who served Submitted: Myrna Olson Wednesday was Remembrance Day in Canada! November 11th and all that it entails is one of my favourite holidays.

It is a time to reflect on our freedom that was

earned by many sacrifices by many.

For me, it also brings back memories of my father, Denton Brehaut who was in the Second World War from 1941-1945. He was an airplane mechanic and stationed at

Gimli, Man., and Brantford, Ont. Throughout the following years he would open his blue truck and share stories, pictures and other memorabilia from the war. We always enjoyed this experience.

While my dad was

away at war, my mother was on the farm, five kilometres from town, with three small children. That too was a sacrifice.

This year is the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. The Wawota

branch of the Royal Canadian Legion forgoed their usual service but planned a brief ceremony at the cenotaph. They laid six wreaths, one for the Government of Saskatchewan, one for the Wawota Legion, one for the veterans of the First

World War, one for the veterans of the Second Wrold War, one for the veterans for the Korean War and one for the peacekeepers.

COVID-19 guidelines of the province and the community were followed.
