Rick Fall comes to Kipling while running for charities

By Laura Kish

Rick Fall, 61, plans to log 4,200 kilometres, which is actually 100 marathons in 100 running days, raising money for two charities along the way.

Fall is teaming up with Make a Wish Canada and Childhood Cancer Canada in his journey across Canada in hopes of raising $300,000.

Fall started his journey back on April 12 in Victoria, B.C., where he grew up, and hopes to finish by mid-August back in his hometown of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., hence the name Home to Home tour. Coincidentally the start date is the same date that Terry Fox started his run in 1980.

His wife Colette is driving the RV while he’s hitting the road.

The retired teacher says he’s been running pretty near all his life. He took some time off during his early 20’s then got back into a fairly regular running routine in about 1990.

“In 2010 my wife and

I got involved with the local Terry Fox Run in Sault Ste. Marie,” Fall explains. “It was mentioned amongst a group of us that maybe we’ll do a run or continue Terry’s run from Thunder Bay to the Coast. It always stuck in the back of my mind that maybe I’ll do something like that one day when I still think I can.”

“Terry Fox is one of the biggest influences for me to do this run,” explains Fall. “But also a number of other guys that have ran across Canada as I met them when they came through Sault Ste. Marie. I would run with them. One in particular is Jamie MacDonald from England. He’s done a number of different treks.”

Originally, Fall had planned to begin the run in 2020, but the start of the COVID-19 pandemic postponed it by a year.

“I thought I’d start from my original hometown of Duncan, B.C. We drove to B.C. and started from Victoria, up and down through the Rockies, and across the flat-

land of the Prairies … It’s been such a journey.”

Fall took a detour off the Trans-Canada Highway in Saskatchewan to visit some old family friends along Highway 48. He and his wife spent the night visiting with Gordon and Donna Hassler on their farm just outside Windthorst.

Fall’s father used to work for Gordon’s dad, Pete, years ago and the families have kept in contact ever since.

From there he continued on his journey through Kipling, Kennedy and Wawota, getting back to the No. 1 Highway at Virden, Man. A couple of days when the weather was forecasted to be above 30 C, Fall hit the pavement long before the birds were chirping at 3 a.m., finishing by 9:30 a.m. for the day.

Fall runs whether the sun is shining or it’s pouring rain, 10 C or 30 C, windy or dead silence, averaging approximately 42 kilometres per day. They are both enjoying sightseeing along the way.

Colette and Rick Fall pose for a picture in front of Kipling’s paperclip on their stop through town while on his Canada-wide tour. Photo by Laura Kish Fall says he always has three pairs of running shoes on the go, rotating them as he goes.

Shoes need a rest day as well.

“I’ve retired two pair so far,” explains Fall. “I try to get 800 to 1,000 kms out of a pair of runners. ASICS were good enough to sponsor me for the brand and model that seem to work for me.

They gave me eight pair of running shoes.” Rick and Colette Fall have had some very memorable experiences so far including: Forty-two kilometres of straight highway with not even one bend, The first day cresting the Malahat Summit, From Victoria to Mill Bay was quite a feat to do, On Vancouver Is-

land, they had a lot of family and friends support where some rode their bicycles with Rick the entire way, Going through Vancouver, the four monuments of Terry Fox. “It still brings tears to my eyes standing with my arm around the life-size statue of Fox. It’s a huge inspiration.”

Carlyle students refresh rainbow crosswalk in support of the LGBTQ2+ community

By Emily Klatt The town of Carlyle became a little brighter Tuesday with the refurbishment of the rainbowcoloured crosswalk located on Souris Avenue outside of Carlyle Elementary School.

The crosswalk is a gesture in support of the LGBTQ2+ community and features the five colours of the LGBTQ2+ rainbow Pride flag.

LGBTQ2+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Two-Spirit, with the plus used to indicate the inclusion of other sexual and gender minorities.

June is celebrated as LGBTQ2+ Pride month in

communities around the world.

The crosswalk, first installed in 2019, is the initiative of Carlyle resident Jade Moore. The idea for the crosswalk came after Moore noticed similar projects being done in other rural communities.

“I know just from having friends that are in the LGBTQ+ community that they sadly typically end up leaving rural communities and going to the city because they are more accepted there, it seems like … so I thought that there is a need for one in Carlyle,” Moore said.

This year, Moore was assisted by a class of

Grade 7 and 8 students from Gordon F. Kells High School.

According to GFK teacher Morgan Wasylyk, the students were more than happy to lend a hand in repainting the rainbow crosswalk.

“When Jade had asked us if we wanted to help out in this, I said, 'Well, I'm assuming yes, but I'm going to check with the kids and see where their heads are at’,” said Wasylyk. “So we just did like ... a secret vote. I just had them cover their eyes and I asked how many of you would like to participate in painting this crosswalk and 23 out of 23 hands went up.”

Restoring the rainbow crosswalk is a team effort for Grade 7 and 8 students from Gordon F. Kells High School.

For Moore, the ultimate goal of the rainbow crosswalk is to help create a safer and more ac-

cepting community for all those who live there.

“I think Carlyle is like a really loving com-

munity ... and I want everyone to feel welcome here, including LGBTQ+ community.”

stands out was meeting up with a grizzly bear while going through the mountains by Roger’s Pass.

“I was forewarned about this bear from a traveler going the opposite direction. The next morning I just got started and I see a huge black bear.”

“The scenery of going through the mountains was breathtaking, taking in the cascading waterfalls and snow in the mountains and it is so peaceful at times. Every step of the way I hear the

nature.”

Across the Prairies a farm cat crossed his path.

That’s about as dangerous as the Prairies got.

Fall is over half way home and to date, approximately $50,000 has been raised through Fall’s marathon.

Kipling School sees 24 students graduate

By Laura Kish Kipling School students and their families came together on June 12 at the Kipling School soccer infield to celebrate the graduation of 24 students from the school.

Mistress and master of Ceremonies for the afternoon were Hanna Steele and Connor Box. Rhett Larsen delivered a message from the staff, sharing some important memories with the reply coming from Levi Dayman and Shaw Heaton on behalf of the graduates.

They acknowledged all their teachers for being there for them - from all their sports to field trips.

Graduation spotlights highlighting their future plans were given by Angela Corscadden and Garret Lowenberger.

The future seems bright for these new graduates as a number of them were awarded scholarships for post-secondary studies.

Jenna Currie was awarded the Ben Grebinski Award.

Carlyle honours its 2021 graduates in unconventional celebration

By Kaitlyn Meisner Graduates from the Gordon F. Kells High School in Carlyle greeted the town with smiles on Saturday evening, as they paraded through the community.

The parade was part of the celebratory events which took place in honor of the 37 students graduating from Grade 12 this year.

Graduation was a little different due to COVID-19 regulations.

Nevertheless, different people throughout the community pulled together to make sure that the graduates of Gordon F. Kells still got the celebration they deserved.

Usually, the ceremony and its program are planned mostly by the school. However, the planning and organizing of the ceremony and parade were taken over by the parents of the graduates, as they felt the school had enough to deal with this year.

There were several challenges in the planning of the ceremony, as people were not able to meet in person to plan, with about 60 parents on the committee. Therefore, most of the planning took place through technology.

Nevertheless, the goal with planning the

Graduates from Gordon F. Kells High School celebrated their grad on June 12. celebration despite the challenges was to give a proper send-off to the hard-working students.

Tammie Riddell, one of the parents on the committee, explained that the ceremony and parade only came about because the parents felt it was important that the students were celebrated in the best way possible.

“So, basically, the reason why it was all started was because we felt that the kids deserved to be celebrated and…their accomplish-

ment of their graduation [deserved to be celebrated] … Because unfortunately last year ... they [the 2020 graduates] didn’t get a celebration … And so, we were trying to make sure that we could do something for these kids.”

The graduation consisted of a private outdoor ceremony at 3 p.m., with a parade afterwards at 5:30 p.m. The outdoor ceremony took place at the RM of Moose Mountain building, close to Eighth Street West. The

location was chosen partly for its seclusion since the ceremony was not open to the public due to COVID-19 restrictions. Each graduate was allowed three guests.

However, the graduation was still a success, as graduates were able to get dressed up and celebrate with their loved ones, while the community was able to show support in other ways. In fact, there was an overwhelming show of support for the graduates, as people of all ages

from all over Carlyle came to watch the parade and celebrate with the class.

The parade took a route which covered most of the town, and the word was spread about when and where the parade would take place.

In addition, even before the graduation, the community of Carlyle found ways to celebrate their graduates in the midst of the difficulties presented by restrictions. For instance, sev-

eral businesses in town showed their support by putting up colourful decorations for the graduates in their windows. There were also banners displayed over Main Street, each with a graduate’s picture on it.

Overall, the community demonstrated their strong support for the graduates, while the people who planned the celebration came up with an unconventional celebration to give them the graduation they deserved.

“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”

Tragic RCMP death provides needed perspective

By Murray Mandryk RCMP Constable Shelby Patton died in the line of duty in Wolseley on June 12.

The 24-year-old officer was dispatched around 7:50 a.m. to pursue a report of a stolen white Ford F250 pickup truck from Manitoba in Wolseley, according to the press release from the Indian Head RCMP detachment where he was based.

The vehicle struck Patton and left the scene. Police and emergency medical services were called and people tried to administer first aid, but Patton went into cardiac arrest and died there.

Alphonse Stanley Traverse, 41, and Marlene Velma Louise Pagee, 42 of Winnipeg have been charged with manslaughter, and other infractions, for allegedly striking and killing Patton.

The suspects were arrested two hours later after a farmer near Odessa reported trespassers in a white pickup had entered his property and stolen his truck.

The white pickup was recovered in a field near Francis about one kilometre away from the farmer’s abandoned truck.

The cold facts of the matter tell a tragic tale, but there is much more context needed to understand what policing is like — especially in rural or remote communities — and what such officers mean to these communities.

This event sent the communities of Indian Head and Wolseley into mourning — not just because Patton was an RCMP officer but also because he had become a valued part of the community. It often happens this way in small towns and small cities in Saskatchewan with RCMP detachments.

Yes, they are police officers and, as such, they have traditionally been expected to limit their social interaction out of concern that it could interfere with their duties.

There can also be a sometimes-uneasy relationship with the locals and the RCMP. As with any police force anywhere, relationships are never going to be perfect.

But the sincere outpouring of grief in the community — and in the province, as a whole — is both important and telling.

They donned red shirts in Patton’s honour, paid tribute at the spot where he was killed and stood in silence as his body was taken to rest.

Similarly, RCMP officers lined Regina’s Dewdney Avenue where their training headquarters in located.

Condolences poured out from every corner of the province, including from Premier Scott Moe and the Saskatchewan legislature.

In one rather bizarre development, the City of Regina chose not to lower its flags to half mast, explaining that its “flag policy does not include recognition of members of the RCMP who are killed in the line of duty” and an “exception would be considered if the fallen individual has been currently working in Regina and/or was born and raised here.”

Officer Patton died in a neighbouring community just 60 miles away. Regina prides itself as the home of the RCMP, which should mean that this city should be especially cognizant of any RCMP officer anywhere sacrificing his life in the line of duty.

And maybe in a world where people are latching on to the rather nebulous notion of “Defund the Police,” it’s of added importance to acknowledge the risks associated with serving and protecting.

This is not say that Black Lives Matter protests in the U.S. do not have validity or that there isn’t policing issues in this country. It is to say that police — and especially RCMP in rural Saskatchewan — perform a critical role for us. We need to acknowledge their sacrifices — especially, the ultimate ones.

A marker that means something

Shelley Luedtke In Hollywood Hills, Calif., is the renowned Forest Lawn Memorial Park, a cemetery that since the early 1900’s intentionally set itself apart from other similar sites.

Its designer envisioned towering trees, sweeping lawns, fountains, statues and art to reflect his belief in a joyous life after death.

I was about nine years old when I visited the place. The mosaics, paintings and sculptures made it feel more like an art tour than a trip to the cemetery, except of course for all the markers denoting the more than 120,000 graves.

I’ve never liked going to cemeteries; then again, a lot of people likely feel the same. We are typically there at life’s toughest moments. But the last couple of summers I have been to some different cemeteries and the experiences were meaningful. One was a visit to a historic site, one to find the headstone of a young man who died during the Spanish Flu, and one

OBSERVER

when we stopped to see the prettiest little country church and wandered through its adjoining cemetery.

At each one, markers gave us a glimpse into individuals and their communities. They help to tell small pieces of stories that say these people lived and they mattered.

My dad is buried in a rural cemetery in Alberta. His funeral many years ago happened to fall on the coldest day imaginable in December and I remember the bitter temperature, snow and ice. But return visits have been in the spring or summer and I have appreciated the lush green grass, trees in full foliage and the peacefulness of the setting. I still may not like being there, but it means a lot to me that I have a place to go where a marker exists and his name is etched.

Grave sites can become places of interest or even destinations for pilgrimages. In South Dakota you can travel to the resting place of several members of the families made famous by the Laura Ingalls Wilder Little House books. On the day we were there, handwritten notes and mementos had been left by many tourists.

In New York, it has become tradition to visit the grave of voting rights activist Susan B. Anthony and put an “I Voted” sticker on her headstone.

The gesture is seen as pa-

triotic, but the build-up of sticky residue has damaged the stone. Prior to the 2020 election, a restoration committee had the stone cleaned and restored and then arranged for a plastic covering to protect the marker. The stickers were still placed, but the stone remained unaffected.

But while those locations are well-known and marked, some families have intentionally left the burial sites of their loved ones unmarked; a decision driven by a desire for privacy or a fear of vandalism. That’s the case with basketball legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter who died in 2020, as well as a long list of celebrities. Then there are instances when it’s not the public’s curiosity, but their contempt, that has resulted in unmarked plots. Mass shooters and terrorists raise particular concern. Some feel they are undeserving of commemoration while others don’t want their grave site to become gathering places of distorted hero worship.

What is a funeral home to do when no one will claim a body, or a cemetery denies burial for fear of negative publicity, desecration or potential protest? The parents of a school shooter said they could not find a cemetery that would take their son’s body so they had him cremated and scattered in an undisclosed location.

Subscription Rates:

There are, of course, other reasons why graves remain unmarked. War, disease or natural disaster have left many without a marked resting place because there wasn’t a body to bury or there were too many dying at one time. But at least there are efforts to establish memorials in some of these places.

Parks and monuments acknowledge their lives and give people a place to go, be still and remember.

That needs to happen for children who died at residential schools. They deserve better than unmarked, undocumented graves. So much better.

Since they have nothing else, we can at least ensure they have a resting place that is their own, and something on which their name is etched.

The cemetery where my dad is buried has no professional staff like Forest Lawn to keep lawns manicured and everything pristine. Instead, there are volunteers who see it gets cared for. Communities that take good care of their cemeteries are to be commended. It means family and friends have a spot to visit that is uniquely theirs.

It means we have a place to take flowers. A context in which the tears are understood. A space that means something to us. Not everyone may want that, but those that do, should not be denied.

That’s my outlook.

Golfer of the Week: Jesse McAuley savours his ace

Friday, June 18, 2021

The love of the game came later in life for Balogh

By Emily Klatt

By Laura Kish

Jesse McAuley may have only been golfing regularly for two years, but he’s already done something many players spend their entire careers trying to achieve: a hole in one.

McAuley made the once-in-a-lifetime shot at hole No. 3 while playing a round with friends at the Carlyle Golf Club on June 4. He made the shot using a three-iron hybrid golf club.

“Never did I think I would ever get a hole in one and in my golf career, that's for sure. It was crazy. (It) still really hasn't even seemed to sink in,” McAuley said.

The 33-year-old Carlyle resident describes himself as a “recreational” golfer who did not start playing the game regularly until about two years ago.

“It's quite an accomplishment for me just because like I said, I wouldn't … fancy myself … a high, high level golfer by no means,” McAuley said. “I don't have big expensive clubs or (anything) like that.”

Golf is something that McAuley has got-

Jason Balogh of Kipling grew up playing many sports with hockey and baseball being his main focus. Balogh took up golf later in life as he explains: "I didn't start until I was 20 or so. There wasn't any baseball going on and we were looking for something to do, so a group of friends tried a round of golf at Windthorst.”

Balogh didn't really think too much of the sport even though he feels it's sort of like baseball and hockey because of the same muscle movements.

A couple of years had passed before he took it more seriously and started playing more rounds and got a little bit better at the game.

"It's so addicting now; you're always chasing your lowest score ever. In golf you're in competition with yourself, always trying to beat your best personal score.”

Any day of the week you may see Balogh out on the golf course. He is now quite an avid golfer.

“I usually try to golf every day if I can,” says Balogh, “depending on how busy the course is.

Most days I'm usually out here.”

“With COVID and everything, work had become pretty slow for us and so it was just something that me and my wife (do),” McAuley

said.

For McAuley, golfing is a family affair.

He regularly plays with his wife and his young son has recently started to pick up the game as well.

“We just kind of use it as a family time and (as) something to kill the time (and to) get out in the nice weather.”

Jason Balogh of Kipling golfing at Kingswood Golf Course. Photo by Laura Kish even 45 holes.

“I used to walk that many back when I was younger but now I can't walk that many,” he says with a grin.

Balogh reminisces about his first hole-inone, which was actually on his hometown golf course of Kingswood.

"I aced number 3!”

Unfortunately, Balogh was golfing alone when he got his hole-inone so he wasn't able to share the exciting experience.

“Again I holed out for a three on the same hole on a skins night,” he explains.

Hitting his first ball out of bounds, he opted for a second shot from the tee and it went in the cup which counted for a three, which wasn't a hole in one but it was a hole out.

So why does Balogh love golfing so much?

“It gets me out doing something, being active.

Sometimes I enjoy it and sometimes not so much.”

That's how golf goes, you're either having a good day or not.

den you'll hit this one shot and it sounds right, it feels right, it bounces good and the ball goes where you want - and that's why I play.”

“Sometimes they're few and far between," laughs Balogh "depending on the day."

Balogh has tried out many of the golf courses in the area.

“I've golfed in Seattle.

We also took a guys’ golfing trip to North Dakota.

We're fairly lucky in the southeast corner of the province, we have some dandy nine-hole courses.

White Bear is probably the hardest back nine in the province.”

Balogh now shares the love of golf with his son, Winston. The two golf together on men's night and he follows his son’s journeys through him being on the school team.

In a regular season, Balogh figures he plays around 150 to 160 rounds of golf on a nine-hole course.

“We have the course right here so why not,” says Balogh.

Cardinals trounce Diamondbacks to open season

lined the perimeter of the baseball field and few empty seats could be found in the bleachers at Lions Park.

One thing was clear: baseball was back in Carlyle.

Lyle Baskin has been coming to watch the Cardinals play for more than 30 years.

“It's great. It's nice to have ball back again,” said Baskin.

During the game, Baskin wove through the crowd collecting money for a 50/50 draw in support of the brand-new digital scoreboard recently donated by the Carlyle Lions Club. Many people expressed how impressed they were with the scoreboard, noting that the display could

Baseball was back in full swing Tuesday night as the host Carlyle Cardinals faced off against the Southeast Diamondbacks in the season-opening game of the Saskota Baseball League at Lions Park.

An impressive performance from the Cardinals, who are the reigning league champions, led the team to their first victory of the 2021 baseball season, defeating the Southeast Diamondbacks 21-5 over the course of a six-inning game.

Cardinals fans young and old were all too happy to come out and support the home team after a ninemonth offseason. Cars

“The Cardinals are the best team in all of Carlyle and all of Canada,” said 11-year-old Lennox McNaughton, whose stepdad plays for the Cardinals.

Long-time baseball fan Alice Savill watched the game from the comfort of her car; windows rolled down to enjoy beautiful June weather.

“Oh, I love baseball,” Savill said. “It feels wonderful to be outside, doesn't it? It's so nice out here. What a beautiful park.”

If Tuesday night’s game is any indication, the Carlyle Cardinals are well on their way to a successful 2021 base-

their love of baseball is not about winning and losing — it’s about how you play the game.

The Cardinals were scheduled to their first week back with a game against the Kenosee Cubs on Thursday. (Results were not available at press time).

The Cardinals play their next game on Tuesday in Carnduff against the Astros. The game will start at 6:30 p.m.

Moose Creek Regional Park is the place for happy campers

By Kaitlyn Meisner If you’re looking to connect with nature and hope to find a peaceful place to do so, Moose Creek Regional Park is the place to go.

Moose Mountain Regional Park is located on the eastern shore of Grant Devine Reservoir, near Alameda. The park has lots to offer, with fishing, camping, swimming, boating and hiking (on the nature trails) being just a few of its perks. In fact, the fishing is a highlight of the park. The park has a great fishing dock, which was recemented just recently.

Andrew Sinclair, the park manager explained, “The fishing is excep-

tional and has been for … a few years, and it seems to get better every year.”

There are other things as well which make this park a great place for families, couples or individuals.

Moose Creek Regional Park has great playgrounds for children, as well as a brand-new basketball and pickleball court. The park also has a great nine-hole golf course, which makes for a terrific place to spend a summer day.

Sinclair also explained why Moose Creek Regional Park is so special.

“You can get out into the into the nature, and on our walking path … you usually run [into]…a

deer or two … The sunsets are amazing, so it’s a great … view for that.”

But probably the greatest asset to the park, which sets it apart from others, is the quiet and peaceful atmosphere that it generates, despite it having 256 campsites.

“It’s a nice quiet campground that people appreciate coming to and can enjoy themselves and [it’s] not quite as busy as some of the larger parks,” explained Sinclair.

The park will be open until around the Labour Day long weekend, so be sure to check it out this summer and connect with the beautiful nature of the Prairies.

Redvers Soccer Club is playing games again

By Kaitlyn Meisner The Redvers Soccer Club is finally starting games after a rough season. They have remained hopeful as they’ve pushed through everything and are excited to be moving forward towards a better season next year.

The club was fortunately able to have a season this year, unlike last year. However, they did have a rough start.

Because of COVID-19 regulations, they found it hard to get coaches, and ended up with less

registered players than usual. In total, they had about 51 kids registered, which is less than half of what they would get in a normal season.

Another change that was unexpected was games being allowed again as part of the Saskatchewan government’s reopening plan.

Ana Gray, the secretary for Redvers Soccer Club, explained that this was a surprise, because at the beginning of the season they didn’t think games would be happening, and they had told people accordingly.

It was only halfway through the season that they were informed that games with other teams would be allowed.

Overall, Gray explained that one of the greatest lessons the club has had to learn this season is adaptability.

In fact, one of the biggest challenges for organizers within the club was writing a Return to Play Plan for the Saskatchewan Soccer Association and other documents for the season, which included various scenarios on how things might go this season.

Flexibility became vital to the club making it through this season.

Parents and players also adapted to changes as well. Parents of U9 and up players weren’t allowed to go onto the field during May, which was an adjustment from other years. Gray explained, “As parents, we love to watch our kids … and we couldn’t.”

However, for the younger teams, the parents were actually asked to be on the field so that they could do one on one training with the kids since they were

part of the same household. Overall, there were many changes, but the club got through them and were able to practice despite everything.

The club is still planning on running until June 24, and they have already played some games since restrictions were changed.

Also, before the season ends, they are looking forward to playing against Carlyle’s team.

On June 22, Carlyle is coming to Redvers, and on June 24, Redvers is going to Carlyle.

Ana Gray explained that this season taught the club to learn to do things in a more flexible way, but the hope is that the club will grow to full capacity.

“We’re hoping to get the players back …

I guess the intent of running a season this year was to sort of keep the momentum going … And so, our hope is that next year with the pandemic behind us that we will get over the hundred players again, and…[have] a more normal season, a season that’s easier to plan.”

Oxbow Swimming Pool is open for the summer

By Kaitlyn Meisner Oxbow Swimming Pool is happy to announce that they are now open for visitors. They officially opened on June 7 and are excited for what this summer will bring.

The pool has been busy already with plenty of visitors, and has started setting up swimming lessons, speed swimming times, public swimming times and adult lane swimming.

Their daily times are posted on their Facebook page for everyone’s convenience, but once their summer times start on June 30, there will be public swimming from 1-5 p.m. and then starting again at 7 p.m. The pool also hopes to be open for the summer until around the Labour Day long weekend.

There will be some exciting things happening this summer at the pool. The swimming lessons will be for preschool up to level 10, and they will also have a parents and tots swim on Mondays,

Wednesdays and Fridays (which people must pre-register for). On July 1, there will be a free swim sponsored by Prairie Pride Credit Union.

In addition, the pool will also be having pool parties again. Last year pool parties were not possible, but now with the limit in the water being 60 people, and 100 within the fence, there is much more flexibility. In fact, as of now the pool is already planning on having an end of school party on June 28 from 4-7 p.m.

As for changes due to COVID-19 regulations, the change rooms will be closed, so people will be required to come dressed for the pool. Bathrooms will still be open though. Other than that, there will be basic rules such as social distancing and wearing a mask while inside the building.

The pool also expects to see the regulations change after June 20 to allow for 150 people.

Overall, the people who are in-

The Oxbow Swimming Pool will be a popular destination once again this year.

File photo volved with the pool are excited for how this year will turn out. Last year was hard with waiting on the government to decide whether or not to open pools. As Tami Scott, the chairperson of the Oxbow Swimming Pool Com-

mittee explained, last year’s season was much shorter due to COVID-19, but this year has been better. In general, she explained that they are “looking forward to just a really good back to almost normal summer.”

Maryfleld Sunrise Villa news Submitted by Betty Walker June is more than half over but this past week has been eventful.

First the beautiful rain, near five inches here and now the sunshine which is making our courtyard come to life and the peonies and roses are breaking out. On June 12, we were treated to music

by Garry and Keith out under the trees in the courtyard.

A couple of our residents celebrated birthdays recently, Marilyn and Grace, and we enjoyed the singing, cake and the trimmings.

We also enjoyed pizza and Timbits cour-

tesy of our villa friend, Francis Sheard. Thanks again.

Everyday sees more people out in the courtyard visiting friends so give us a call and come for a visit. Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine but don't get burnt, which is easy to do.

A personal thank you also to the United Church Sunday school kids for the card and pictures pages for our residents (especially Emily in Grade 4 and Hanna in Grade 6, wishing me a happy belated birthday). You make us feel special.

Kenosee Lake Bible Camp to offer public swimming

By Emily Klatt Visitors to Moose Mountain Provincial Park will soon have a new option for cooling down on hot summer days, as Kenosee Lake Bible Camp opens its pools for public swimming this weekend.

Kenosee Lake Bible Camp is located on a lakefront site within the boundaries of Moose Mountain Provincial Park and is home to a number of amenities, including a recently renovated indoor pool.

This is the first year that the pool has been

open to the public. “(The decision to offer public swimming) was spurred by … COVID-19 necessitating getting creative with how we can reach out to people and be involved with the community, but still get people out to camp and do new things,” said KLBC’s ministry director Clay Wiens.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, this summer KLBC will be hosting fewer camps, retreats, and school groups than it would during a typical year.

“Our pool is not be-

ing used as much and so we just wanted to open it up and have another way to get the community out and enjoy this wonderful facility and place that God’s given us,” Wiens said.

As of now, use of the pool will be on a firstcome-first-serve basis with no pre-registration required. If the pool reaches capacity, swimmers may need to wait until the facility empties out before they can use it, Wiens said.

Overall, the public swimming initiative has been positively received

by the community.

“We really have been pleasantly surprised with the amount of response that we’ve gotten,” Wiens said. “We weren’t expecting quite the popularity it seems like it’ll have.”

The pool will be open for public swimming from 1-5 p.m. Admission is by donation with a recommended donation of $5 per person.

Public swimming dates in June are: June 19, 20, 28 and 29.

Future public swimming days will be posted to KLBC’s Facebook page throughout the summer.

Members of the public will soon be able to enjoy the pool facilities at the Kenosee Lake Bible Camp.

Alida weekly news - Congratulations to all the grads Submitted by Edel Cowan The winner of the Alida Rec. Board Sports Day BBQ Package was Kevin Mowat of Alida.

Congratulations Kevin and enjoy your winnings.

We received a little rain shower in the early morning hours of June 6 – about one-tenth of an inch and it surely helped to cool the temperature down to being comfortable so one could enjoy being outside for a while without sweltering on the spot.

We sure did receive another rain on June 11. It was a real downpour with about two inches during the wee early hours of the day and then again just around noon another downpour with strong winds (another two inches). This rain will surely help the fields and gardens grow. Just what we all needed – nothing was damaged as far as I know of around here. Some

trees lost a few small branches and of course some leaves.

Shelly Cowan and daughter Ainsley participated in the Estevan Dog Jog on June 5 and again on June 6, where they joined together with daughters/sisters Kelsey Rydberg and Lacie Nilsen in support of the Estevan Humane Society.

Happy birthday greetings are extended to the following – Cheryle Boutin, Jeremy Nielsen and Adele Hull (this week) and (this coming week) Shasta Lemieux, Kara McNish, Lucille Gervais, Rozanne McClung and Tiffany Hall. Hope everyone had and will have a great day and many more to come.

Graduations are now being planned for later this month – there will likely be some restrictions to follow once again, but I do hope that the graduates will be able to enjoy a special day someway. I do understand

that there are grad parades in the making, even here in Alida.

We have nine Grade 12 grads in Alida including our surrounding area – four attend Oxbow Prairie Horizon (Cordelia Patton, Charity Lemieux, Keiya Solomon and Xavier Gervais) and five at Redvers High (Sadie Potapinski, Thomas Peet, Jordan Marsh, Layne Kyle and Carson Longphee).

You’ll notice that a couple of the grads are actually from surrounding towns, however those grads attended playschool in Alida and have grandparents living (lived) here.

The grad parade in Alida is planned for June 25 for the above mentioned students.

Redvers held their graduation celebrations on June 11 with a parade throughout town and a ceremony was held at the rink.

Congratulations graduates and good luck in

your future endeavors.

Oxbow will be holding their grad on June 29.

Attending the Redvers graduation in honor of Thomas Peet were his escort Cloe, parents Parry and Lynette, brother Wendal, grandparents Kent and Mryla Holland, Amber (Holland) and Travis, as well as grandparents Brian and Margaret Peet, Patti Mowchencko and girls, Chad and Sam Peet and boys.

Also attending Redvers grad in honor of Sadie Potapinski were her parents Ken and Diane, Colby, Celine and Walker Potapinski, John Potapinski and Brooklyn Fitzpatrick, Julie Potapinski and Grace Moynagh (Milton, Ont.), Michelle Potapinski and daughter Hilary Sauder, and Agatha Potapinski.

We just received word that Marcel Belmore had passed away on June 5 at the age of 94 at the Whitemouth Personal Care Home

in Ontario. Marcel was predeceased by his parents Elmer and Yvonne, brothers Armand and Wilfred, sisters Lima and Leda and nephew Kurtis. He is survived by his brother Joseph, nephews Kevin, Alan, Randy, John and Armand and nieces Marian and Darlene. A celebration of life will later be held in Redvers with internment at the family plot in Storthoaks Cemetery.

Sincere sympathy is extended to Leonard and Lil Patton and family on the death of their great nephew Shelby Patton, an RCMP member at Indian Head. He was killed in the line of duty on

June 12 at Wolseley.

A very Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, granddads, uncles and brothers on June 20 – hope you all have a great day and that you enjoy your day with family and friends.
