Carlyle Cardinals repeat as Saskota champions

By David Willberg The Carlyle Cardinals are once again the kings of the Saskota Baseball League.

The Cardinals defeated the Estevan Tap House Wolves 6-3 on Sunday evening in Kenosee Lake to win the league’s Jack Harbourne Memorial Tournament.

Carlyle also defeated Estevan in last year’s final, although that was held with a best-ofthree format as opposed to the traditional Harbourne competition.

Daniel Rasmussen, who is a player for the Cardinals, said it felt great to repeat as champions.

“All the hard work feels good for it to pay off,” he said.

And it was great to win it through the Harbourne.

“There are a lot of guys on the team that have won the Harbourne before … so for some of us, it wasn’t anything really new, as opposed to last year, the playoffs series, was definitely different,” he said.

Ten players on the Cardinals were part of last year’s team that beat the Wolves, while five players were new.

The Harbourne tournament is a little more “chaotic,” he said, and things have to line

up in terms of pitching and games, but the tournament, at the lake and with all the teams around, is a lot more fun.

“Being at the lake for the final game, and seeing how many people there were, it does add a fun element to the whole thing,” said Rasmussen.

The Wolves and the Cardinals were the top two teams in the Saskota league throughout this season, with each team posting a 9-1 record, but Estevan was the No. 1 seed entering the tournament thanks to a 2-1 win over Carlyle on July 9 in the only meeting between the two teams in the regular season.

And they were the top two teams at the Harbourne as well.

The playoffs started Friday with games in Estevan, Carlyle, Redvers and Oxbow, as those were the top four teams during the regular season. Then the attention shifted to Kenosee Lake Saturday morning for the rest of the games.

Estevan went 3-0 in its group, besting the Carnduff Astros, Kipling Royals and Oxbow Chiefs. The Cardinals also went 3-0 in the round robin, defeating the Redvers A’s, Arcola Threshers and Kenosee Cubs.

The Wolves blanked the A’s 10-0 in their semifinal

In the final, Rasmussen said it was a battle, and the latest in a line of good games between Estevan and Carlyle.

“They’re a very good squad,” Rasmussen said. “We knew it was going to be a good one, too. We knew we were go-

ing to see their best, and they saw one of our best arms.”

The Wolves took an early 2-0 lead, but the Cardinals rallied to lead 3-2, and eventually built up the three-run advantage.

The Cardinals have always prided themselves on good defence and good pitching, and

the rest of the game flows from there, Rasmussen said. They had those traits this year, and the offence was also very good.

“From one through nine, guys played very well,” said Rasmussen. “We had some young guys in the lineup, and they produced. It was a collective team effort.”

Celebrating summer with music on Kenosee’s beach

By Laura Kish Moose Mountain Provincial Park organized a concert on the beach last Thursday evening featuring the local band Bros. Chester and Morgan Robertson out of Carlyle.

Robertson is a singer and songwriter from Carlyle. Her song Goodbye Train was one of five winning songs for the Henhouse Express Jr. Contest. This contest was a way to give young and up-and-coming recording artists the experience of having some fun recording music.

Her song aired recently on CJ 1150 radio.

“Maybe there will be more to come … that would be exciting,” says Robertson.

During her performance on the beach, she played seven originals and three cover songs.

She explains that inspiration for her orig-

inal songs comes from personal experiences.

She puts her feelings out there in a song for a type of coping mechanism.

Robertson had a passion for music at an early age. She started with the fiddle when she was six with Michele Amy and played for 10 years.

“I got into guitar and was always singing in the car, and then I started taking music a little more seriously over the past five or six years when I was 12 or 13 years old,” explains Robertson. “Songwriting just came along with that.”

Robertson, who just graduated this year, plans on heading to Saskatoon to apprentice in the electrical field.

There’s a lot of music in Saskatoon so she hopes to continue with her music career as well.

Robertson goes on

towards music. I put the money towards a sound system.”

She was asked: “Where do you see yourself in 10 years?”

“I don’t know, I’ll just let life take me where it takes me…one day at a time.”

Next up was the feature band of the evening, Bros. Chester.

Bros. Chester bandmates Ed Fahlman (bass guitar), Mark Krull (rhythm guitar), Kevin Shultz (baritone guitar/ mandolin) and Aaron Pritchard (drums) took over the makeshift stage at Kenosee Lake.

The show was celebrated by the large crowd of familiar faces while the band played a variety of country and classic rock.

“It’s nice to see live music again and get

out and about,” says Ed Fahlman, owner of Kenosee Inn and spokesperson for the band. “Everything is starting to happen again.”

“It’s a chance for people to get together again, it’s a wonderful thing.”

The gang got together for a rehearsal the night before the event. Fahlman says there’s no need to practise too much ahead of time because Pritchard and Shultz are very good musicians. All the guys have played for a lot of years.

“The last time we played together was a year ago at the concert on the beach last August.”

In conjunction with the concert, the Kenosee Lions were in

charge of the beer gardens for a way to hold a fundraising event as well.

Guitar player Krull also commented: “It was a gorgeous night; the weather couldn’t have been better and it was great to see everyone out.”

Krull says even after all these years performing on stage in front of a crowd, he does still get nervous.

“Absolutely every time until the first song is over and then it’s clear sailing. It’s good nerves though.”

Bros. Chester gave a great performance, playing a variety of favorites by well-known artists, a handful of their favourite tunes

by The Eagles as well as other rock songs and country songs.

Listening to music in the Kennedy Memory Garden

By Laura Kish

The Kennedy Memory Gardens committee held their annual Music in the Park July 30 to a crowd of over 50 attendees.

This event is usually held off until this time of year to behold the fragrant flowers in full bloom and admire the combination of annuals and perennials of all colors, shapes, sizes and textures that delight the senses.

Alan Daku very capably acted as MC for the evening. Mother Nature also co-operated and provided just the right night to enjoy some outdoor entertainment.

Three entertainers were lined up for the evening show, including a couple of performances by local Kennedy talent.

Kennedy Cogdan performed a few wellknown songs, including one of her favourites since she was little – Suds in the Bucket by Sara Evans.

Jean Sostorics, also of Kennedy, played guitar while singing chosen songs about flowers.

The crowd enjoyed some homemade pie and refreshments during a short intermission and had a chance to visit amongst each other.

The feature entertainer of the evening was the very talented Ainsley Friesen with her unique musical style and authentic lyrics. Music has been very important to her as she decided to make music her career.

Friesen studied at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design to earn her degree in fine art in 2006.

She augmented her degree later by studying voice and composition at the Brandon University School of Music.

Life as an artist has its challenges but the guest has used ups and downs of life to strengthen her songwriting, musical and vocal skills.

Friesen has entertained mostly as a solo musician for more than 20 years across this vast country. She debuted an album in 1998 entitled Scattered…Inspired, which garnered mixed reviews. Undaunted she has worked as a musical therapist in Brandon and continues to hone her talents and skills, releasing several EP’s and recording numerous collections of unreleased songs. She taught music for nearly a decade and recently opened her own studio in Whitewood, where she teaches voice, piano, guitar, ukulele and songwriting.

Daku commended the crew who maintain the Memory Garden and keep it looking so vibrant and lush with the perennials and annuals, and by keeping the thick green grass cut and watered.

Thanks to the president of the club who organizes and keeps the crew going, but two exceptionally hardworking volunteers were acknowledged – Halina and Gerry Hourd – for the dedication they put towards the garden.

Hats off to the entire volunteer committee who keep the Memory Garden looking so inviting to just sit awhile on one of the many benches to take in its beauty.

“We’re ever so grateful for a small community like Kennedy to support a lovely facility like the Memory Garden,” comments Daku.

The Memory Garden started about 20 years ago as a place where local families could remember loved ones who have passed away. Daku shared some meaningful poems with the crowd, including The Broken Chain.

What started as an empty lot on Kennedy’s Main Street which no one had ever planned on doing anything with, it sparked an idea in some members of the community.

Clair Dorrance, president of the Memory Garden, explains: “We thought we’d try something with it. It started off slow with planting just a few flowers here and there.”

At Christmastime, the garden is lit up with colorful lights around the trees.

“Alice Cox has always been supplying us with the flowers to plant every year,” explains Dorrance and adds, “I don’t know how many flowers are planted, but Alice brings flat after flat after flat.”

This year volunteers have had to water, water and water some more due to the hot, dry days with no rain in sight.

“We do have some underground sprinklers,” says Dorrance, “which does save on a lot of time spent watering.”

“There are a lot of families who come home and see the garden and

There are a lot of people who just stroll through and sit and admire the beauty while enjoying a picnic lunch.

The funds raised at this year’s event will be put towards general maintenance and upkeep.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.- Nelson Mandela

Government needs tools to fight COVID-19

By Murray Mandryk Saskatchewan still needs proper tools to avoid the spread of the new COVID-19 variants among those who do contract the virus.

This makes recent suggestions from the Saskatchewan Party that it might be less forceful with self-isolation laws rather puzzling.

At the time of the July re-opening, it appeared the provincial government had removed the selfisolation orders. Since then, the kindest thing one can say is that the government has been muddled in both its messaging and its approach to self-isolation laws.

The government has sent out an e-mail saying the law is still in effect — unlike in Alberta where the law will be removed this month. That province will rely on some sort of honour system.

But there still seems to questions here in Saskatchewan on how and who will enforce stay-athome orders — largely because the language has changed to sound slightly less forceful.

How long do we have to make it known we are still enforcing the law? One could ask how long we must have laws enforcing .08 blood alcohol content for impaired drivers when we all should know we shouldn’t drink and drive.

One gets the frustration of Merriman and his government, who have clearly tried to be compromising and reasonable.

COVID-19 may linger around for months or years. At some point, we would have had to loosen restrictions like social-distancing, masking requirement and mass gatherings that were removed July 11.

Some people argue this was far too soon, although it should be noted these are often the same people who also argue we needed stricter restrictions.

The number of active cases has nearly doubled since the July 11 re-opening, although it should be noted we have had only five more deaths since reopening. That’s less deaths than in a similar period prior to the July 11 re-opening.

But while restrictions for those who may not have COVID-19 are one thing, ensuring that those who do have COVID-19 aren’t spreading it to others is completely another thing.

Again, this is why we have blood alcohol content restrictions or seatbelt laws. Of course, they don’t stop everyone who chooses to drink and drive. But the very existence of a law helps make it social unacceptable. The very threat of large fines or jail makes it easier for people to tell their friends to stay home and not get behind the wheel.

So why remove this tool at this point? Why remove isolation standards when, since the July 11 re-opening we still have problems with outbreaks because of unvaccinated people?

Right now, less than one-third of people in the north have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 — a rate that is half that of rest of the province.

Fortunately, southern cities and most rural areas have seen few COVID-19 cases since re-opening.

However, COVID-19 cases in northern Canada are now occurring at a rate 33 times higher than the Canadian rate — 391 active cases per 100,000 (during a seven day period) in northern Saskatchewan compared with 12 cases per 100,000 in Canada. In Saskatchewan the overall rate is now 28 cases per 100,000 in Saskatchewan.

With major outbreaks on the Hatchet Lake Denesuline First Nation, Buffalo River Dene Nation and Black Lake Denesuline First Nation, lockdowns have been needed. These lockdowns were actually requested by responsible community leaders.

So given this reality, don’t we still have to have effective self-isolations laws?

When Olympics were last in Japan…

David Willberg Canada had a truly amazing start to the Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

Ten medals in the first five days of competition. To put it in perspective, we won 12 medals during the entire 2004 Games in Athens, which followed the 14 medals in Sydney in 2000.

And we’ve already surpassed the one gold medal we won in London in 2012. (Although we won a lot of silver and bronze medals that year).

Remember the 2008 Beijing Olympics, when we were shut out on the opening week of competition before going on a torrid medal run to finish with 20? The opening week slump wasn’t an issue this year.

The Olympics this year do stir up sentimental memories for me about the last time the Games were held in Japan – the Nagano Olym-

pics of 1998.

I was in my sophomore year of university.

With the exception of the semifinal in the men’s hockey competition, the two weeks of those Games were among the highlights of my university days, staying up until all hours of the morning (during mid-terms) to cheer Canada on.

We were thrilled when Sandra Schmirler won gold in women’s curling, and when Catriona Le May Doan won gold in her speed skating event.

A pal of mine bought a 27-inch rear projection, bulb screen television, which was pretty sharp back then, so we could watch the events. And since he bought it from a certain national retailer that had a no questions asked return policy, he returned it at the end of the Games.

I was surrounded by friends. I was young enough to stay up to 2 or even 4 a.m. to watch an event, and be up in time to get ready for class at 9 a.m.

Those days are over.

I wish I could tell my 19-year-old self to enjoy those days even more.

I haven’t been able to watch these Games with the same vigour.

This is not an antiOlympic rant. Do I have reservations about the Olympics happening this

year, especially given the surge in COVID-19 cases in Tokyo prior to and during the Games? Absolutely.

But the screening and testing for everyone involved with the Olympics is very stringent, so they should be safe.

There other factors playing a much greater role in my lack of commitment to this year’s Olympics.

It’s just too damn nice out to be sitting inside and watching TV, regardless of whether it’s the greatest athletic showcase in the world or a rerun of an entertaining Simpsons episode from 1997. (You know, back when The Simpsons was great).

Give me a choice between sitting inside and watching TV, or sitting on my deck while I read a book or write stories, I’m going to be on my deck.

Or out for a walk. Or out for a jog.

The timing of the broadcasts is also an issue. When I was 19, I could stay up all night and function on four or five hours of sleep. Not now.

Much of this year’s competitions will occur during the overnight hours. I’m pretty happy when I wake up to find out that Canada has added to its medal haul, but I won’t stay up to watch it.

Now, when Midale’s

Keely Shaw is racing in the paracycling event at the Paralympic Games in a few weeks, I’ll likely stay up to watch it, even if she’s competing during my vacation.

I’ve never been into the Summer Games like I have been the Winter Games. The sports in the Winter Games grab my attention more, although I was pleased to see softball and baseball return for the Summer Games.

And Canada tends to do better in the Winter Olympics than the Summer Games.

I should note that I won’t be staying up until 2 a.m. to watch the Winter Olympics in Beijing next year.

I’m fiercely proud of our Canadian Olympic and Paralympic athletes.

You get to the Games by being the best in your country at what you do.

And then you have to hope that your best is better than the best of the other countries.

They train incredibly hard for four years for a competition which is often finished relatively quickly.

You won’t hear me knocking our athletes, even if the results aren’t what they hoped for.

But I can think of other things I’d rather do in the evening when it’s 20 C outside and the beautiful weather is beckoning.

Students receive bursaries from Matthewson & Co.

By Kaitlyn Meisner

Matthewson & Co., a business located in Carlyle with a goal to help small communities reach their greatest potential, has announced the recipients of their new annual bursaries.

Avara Taralson Schaupmeyer and Jennifer Dann will both be receiving bursaries of $5,000 to go towards furthering their education.

Taralson Schaupmeyer, a recent graduate from Mayerthorpe, Alta., will be receiving the Post Secondary Student Bursary in order to pursue a career as a speech therapist for children. She will be studying linguistics with a minor in psychology at the University of Alberta.

Dann was the recipient of the Non-Traditional Student Bursary, which was to go to a person who had graduated high school earlier but wished to return to, or begin, post-secondary educa-

tion. She is from Cowessess First Nation but currently lives in Strasbourg.

Her goal is to study law at the University of Saskatchewan with the hopes of becoming a lawyer.

Anna Beaulieu, who helped create the bursaries and select the recipients from the application essays, explained that

especially expressed her gratitude for the bursary that would help her reach her own goals.

“I am so incredibly honoured to be this year’s recipient of the Matthewson & Co. Post-Secondary Student Bursary; this support will truly be an immense aid to me as I pursue my studies, as

both recipients had sent out a public statement affirming their gratefulness for the bursaries.

Taralson Schaupmeyer expressed how grateful she was for the company’s efforts to alleviate financial pressures that many people face when trying to pursue higher education, but she

it will help alleviate the massive financial burden that comes with receiving a post-secondary education, making it actually possible for me to go.”

Dann also explained how much this bursary would help with easing the extreme financial pressures that come with post-secondary educa-

tion. Additionally, she explained that this bursary has given a boost to her determination to reach her goals and help others.

“This funding also encourages me to continue working towards my goals. When I have completed my education, I hope to help support students as well because I believe education is important for our future and financial strain can be an obstacle to someone completing their education. It is important to support each other.”

Matthewson & Co. will continue to offer these bursaries annually.

Next year they also plan to double the amount for their bursary for a high school student aiming to start a business, which unfortunately had no recipient this year. Be sure to follow their Facebook page and check out their website http://www. smallplacesrock.com/ for more news on their future plans and the bursaries for next year.

Celebrate Seniors Maryfield Sunrise Villa happenings

A donation to Redvers Haven

Submitted by Betty Walker

A&W Carlyle donated six large and 12 small A&W mugs to Redvers Haven Activity Department. On July 24, the residents enjoyed root beer floats in the chilled mugs. They quite enjoyed them. The haven is very grateful for the donation. Photo submitted

We have had a few more visitors each week and some more because of the fair in town.

We are still asking visitors to be in the tenants’ rooms or outside in the courtyard with masks, unless you can social distance in the courtyard.

We keep hoping for more openings.

We are sorry to report Mildred is moving to long-term care, as she needs more medical care. We will sure miss her and send our best wishes.

We have been enjoying fresh raspberries, chards, lettuce, cucumbers and yellow beans. Thanks for the donations from the gardens, they sure are tasty.

Being as it is a bit cooler, I was able to go for a walk and enjoy the nice scenery.

Enthusiasts line up at Kipling’s weekly car show

By Laura Kish

A car show brings together enthusiasts who are interested in restoring or modifying all types of vehicles, or maybe it’s just to swap stories about their muscle cars.

Terrence Stanley says he found a flyer on his window one day a few weeks ago (put there by Travis Young) about having a car meet on the upcoming Friday of that week.

The two fellows in Kipling decided it was time to start up something like this in town.

Stanley and Young, both of Kipling, had the idea to start up a car show for anyone that loves everything about cars, trucks and motorbikes. Whether it’s getting together to talk about your ride or just showing off the leather interior, either way it’s just a lot of fun.

Travis Young of Kipling

has owned his 2015 Challenger SRT 392 for only a month.

“I wanted a car to play around with for the summer,” says Young. “I use it as my daily car.”

“My whole plan was…I was going to buy the car and start an Instagram channel and talk about a daily driven muscle car.”

“So, my whole goal is just to kind of show that it’s not as scary to daily drive these cars as you might think,” says Young. “Right now I’m averaging about 10.2 L per 100 kilometres.”

Stanley says he started posting the event on social media hoping to attract more attention to other car lovers.

“The first week we had a really good turnout,” says both Young and Stanley.

Stanley’s car is a 2014 Ford Mustang GT that has the fifth generation 302

Coyote engine. He says he’s pushing 430 horsepower with 95 pounds of torque and has a whole roush exhaust set up for it as well as a Stage 1 shift kit. He plans to add racing stripes and decals one day.

He also uses this as his daily car.

“I’m not sure I want to put it through another winter though,” says Stanley, and chuckles as he adds, “I managed to get stuck only twice this past winter so that’s not too bad.”

“I have always been huge into cars, I love cars. Especially Mustangs. That’s always been my favourite car since I was a kid. I love all makes of classic cars.”

“For our first couple of meets, it’s turned out awesome,” comments both Stanley and Young.

So the two organizers encourage you to come out and

Car lovers show off their ride every Friday night in Kipling.

Photo by Laura Kish talk about cars, motorbikes or trucks. Whatever make or model you have, cruise on over to the show in Kipling every Friday night.

That’s just what Barry and Wendy Anderson did.

The couple from Saska-

toon, who were spending the weekend at Kenosee, heard about the show and decided to make the trip to Kipling to see what it was all about driving in their 2020 2.3-litre High Performance Turbo Mustang convertible.

Alida news - combining is now underway Submitted by Edel Cowan Edel Cowan, Shelly and daughter Ainsley attended the celebration of life in honour of Dianne Hansen in Redvers at Dannevirke Lutheran Church on July 31.

On Aug. 1 Gray and Edel Cowan attended the celebration of life in honour of Hugh and Yvonne Kennedy at the Carnduff

Cemetery columbarium and then attended the family and friends get together at the Kennedy farm near Nottingham.

I received word that Ralph Larsen of Outlook (formerly of Wauchope) had passed away on July 27 at the age of 79 years.

He was predeceased by his parents, Einar and Johanne Larsen, and his brother Paul. Ralph is survived by his wife

Frances, children Bryan, David, Wayne and Joan (Andrew) Hamilton, siblings Ken, Leo (Laverne), Betty (Tony) Peter, Myrna (Hughie) Kydd and Egon (Cindy), as well eight grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. A funeral service will be held Aug. 6 at 11 a.m. at Dannevirke Lutheran Church, with internment at Dannevirke Cemetery. Ralph was a classmate of mine

SAVE THE DATE

when we attended Redvers High School many years ago.

Spending the long weekend with Ainsley Cowan was her friend Asia Jorgensen – they enjoyed their holiday at the Moose Creek Regional Park while at the Cowan camper and also on the boat.

Noticed there has been some combining done in the area. I imag-

ine it was a field of peas.

The other crops are surely turning in color and before one knows it, harvesting will be in full swing in a week or two at the most.

An early fall with an early harvest I’m sure. Let’s hope that weather now holds out and no more rain until this harvest season is complete. Good luck fellas and all with your harvest Hope you all had a

great Saskatchewan Day on Aug. 2 and enjoyed the holiday.

Please remember folks to keep me posted whenever you have news – simply contact me anytime, either call 306-4432496 or text 306-4858561, or e-mail g.cowan@ sasktel.net on the happenings that are going on in and around Alida as well as within your own family circle.

What is anxiety and how does it affect us?

By Envision Counselling and Support Centre Anxiety occurs when our brains perceive something as a “very real threat,” that may not be an actual threat to our safety.

Anxiety is helpful this way because without it, people wouldn’t do things like look both ways before crossing a street. When the perceived threat becomes “real” to a person feeling anxious, it can show up

in panic, stomachaches, nausea, racing heart and sometimes freezing in place. It’s the same as when our brain and body go into the survival mode of fight, flight or freeze.

When some people feel anxious, the threat is related to an everyday task, making daily functioning seem impossible. To be anxious or have anxiety means that the feeling of intense worry negatively impacts your daily functioning and is persistent

over time. Anxiety is a difficult mental illness to manage as the brain often makes the automatic intrusive thoughts seem all too real and true.

To manage anxiety it is helpful to both challenge the thought patterns as well as calm down your body.

One way to challenge a thought you are having is to ask yourself “Will this matter five years from now?” A common thinking pattern with anxiety is the “What if…” thinking.

This is a pattern of repeatedly asking, “What if this bad thing

happens?” To challenge these thoughts, try to take “What if…” thinking in a positive direction, “What if that thing goes well?” Our minds are very powerful; we can rewire the way we think.

For the body, one way to calm anxiety is to practise deep breaths.

Try breathing in for a count of four, holding for seven, and breathing out for eight. A different technique to try would be a mindfulness walk: note how your body feels, how the air feels,

what you smell, what you see, what you hear.

This will bring you back into the present moment and give you a “timeout” from how you are feeling.

Envision Counselling and Support Centre can help through programs like Rapid Access Counselling and Bridging the Distance. These programs accommodate both in-person and telephone needs. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 911.

A special visitor for day care Constable Brandon Glasser from the Carlyle RCMP made the children’s day at the Arcola Daycare on July 28. He answered questions, listened to stories, talked about safety and the importance of seatbelts, and let the children explore his police truck. A highlight was turning on the sirens and lights.

Artist of the week: Don and Marion Evans

By Kaitlyn Meisner

Don and Marion Evans, wood craftsmen from Saskatchewan, were the most recent visitors to the Artist Colony in Moose Mountain Provincial Park.

The woodworking duo was selling some of their amazing artistic pieces in one of the cottages this past week.

Although the couple has been visiting Kenosee Lake for over 40 years, and stay in Kenosee during the summer, this was the first time that they were at the Artist Colony as artists themselves.

Don and Marion Evans’ work is done entirely with hardwood— with no dyes or paints used at all. They try as hard as possible to let the natural colours and tones of the wood stay intact. The couple makes just about anything out of wood that you can think of. They create intricate patterns and detail within their cutting boards, bowls, cheese boards, pens, pepper mills and more.

Their work is unique, as most artists

who come to the Artist Colony are painters, sculptures, etc. However, it was because of the unique nature of their work that they were asked to come to the colony this year.

Marion and Don Evans were not always woodworkers though.

The couple both worked in Regina for many years in the education system.

Marion was a high school teacher while Don was a teacher and a principal. In earlier years, Marion had become interested in learning how to do woodworking as she saw the way that it captivated students who weren’t normally motivated in academic work.

However, she had never had the chance to get into woodworking until they made a trip to Arizona, and she was able to learn there.

She eventually also got Don interested in the art, and then they were both hooked.

Both Marion and Don work together on many of the projects in order to get them completed —with Marion

Marion and Don Evans are wood craftsmen who have been at the Artist Colony in Moose Mountain Provincial Park. often coming up with designs and Don helping to execute them.

They see their woodworking as more of a hobby than a business.

“I guess because we’re retired, and we’ve always been very busy

people we thought we’d never, you know, have a lot of time on our hands.

I think the favourite part [for me] is…we get to create something… it’s a hobby,” explained Marion.

Don also added that

the challenge of creating intricate designs on projects, like their wooden bowls, always gives him great satisfaction.

“I love the challenge of figuring out how to do a bowl like that … I love that challenge to try to figure out how do you do that … and then try to do it.”

Overall, the couple was happy to be able to come to the Artist’s Col-

ony for the first time.

Unfortunately, last year they hadn’t been able to come because of COVID-19 restrictions, so it was great for them to be able to be part of the colony this summer.

I’m pleased to report that the resilience and drive of small business in Saskatchewan is leading the nation with 86 per cent having re-opened.

Saskatchewan’s retail trade figures are also leading the nation, another strong indicator that our economic recovery is well underway.

Saskatchewan recently joined with Alberta, North Dakota, Montana and Idaho to call on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and President Joe Biden to work together in reopening the international border to immediately allow the free flow of citizens, goods and tourists. Securely opening our border will strengthen our economies and continue building on our long history of mutual respect and friendship.

It is disappointing to hear that, although international travel from the U.S. will resume on Aug. 9, Saskatchewan will be one of the only jurisdictions in Canada that will not have an airport accepting international travelers. We have worked to safely re-open our province and with no explanation or indication why from the federal government behind this decision, this is yet

another blow to our industries who are counting on international access.

In what can only be described as an arbitrary and political decision, the Trudeau government recently denied our government’s plan to replace the federal carbon tax.

The plan exceeded the minimum standards and protected the livelihoods of families across our province. If the federal government was truly willing to work with Saskatchewan, they could start by approving our plan today.

Our government recently fulfilled key commitments to improve quality of life in Saskatchewan.

The first was through an increase to the seniors income plan, a monthly income-tested benefit which provides seniors with different levels of support based on the amount of their pension, taxable income or living arrangement. The benefit is higher for those with lower income and the program supports more than 15,000 seniors to live more comfortably and securely.

Expanded funding for families with children who have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has also been made available for children up to age 11. The program gives parents funding for therapeutic interventions and family supports that best suit their child’s individual needs. These may include respite services, therapeutic equipment, and training for parents and caregivers. An estimated 1,000 families will benefit.

You can learn more at saskatchewan.ca/autism.

As always, if you have questions, comments, concerns, or require assistance with provincial government programs or services, please contact our constituency office.

Lessons in commitment One of the great pleasures of my life is going on my morning walk; getting my much-needed exercise is part of the reason, but just as important to me is seeing the friends I’ve made over the years.

We rarely see each other except for these early morning circles around the track but we genuinely listen and care for each other.

I guess one of the things that ties us together is that three out of four of us have marriage partners with illnesses or injuries. Rarely a day goes by when we don’t update each other on how they’re doing. It’s that commitment to each other that inspired this week’s article and enhances my admiration for them (and I must admit, for me).

Commitment is and never has been a road to an easy life. Yes, there are

distinct advantages and promises that go along with it and personally, our marriage commitment to each other has been and continues to be the foundation of my life.

But commitment refers to more than marriage so I checked out the dictionary definition and here’s what I found: the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause or activity. Similar words include devotion, allegiance and faithfulness.

Another side of the meaning includes: an engagement or obligation that restricts free-

dom of action.

While my life’s goal has been to live up to that first definition, my friends and I are also walking the pathway of the second definition. While turning one’s back away from a commitment may seem the easiest way, nothing speaks more highly than honouring those we’ve promised to respect.

“Turn thy way unto the Lord and wait in him, and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light and thy uprightness as the noonday.”

Psalm 37:5,6

PSAC increases drilling forecast for 2021 In its third update to the 2021 Canadian Oilfield Services Activity Forecast, released Thursday morning, the Petroleum Services Association of Canada (PSAC) has revised the number of wells drilled (rig released) across Canada for 2021 to 4,250 wells.

This is an increase of 650 wells over the April 2021 forecast of 3,600 wells.

The updated forecast is based on a stronger commodity price outlook for 2021 with

www.carlylerv.com

Voted “Saskatchewan’s Best Place To Buy An R.V.”

PSAC now expecting the crude oil price to average US$64/barrel (WTI) for 2021, natural gas prices of C$3.35/ MMBtu (AECO) and the Canadian dollar slightly stronger, averaging US$0.81.

The majority of drilling this year is expected to be focused on oil, with 68 per cent of total wells. Gas is expected to account for 28 per cent, and service wells would be the rest.

On a provincial basis for 2021, PSAC estimates 2,330 wells to

be drilled in Alberta and 1,290 wells for Saskatchewan, representing year-over-year increases of 890 and 213 wells, respectively. At 105 wells in 2021, drilling activity in Manitoba is expected to increase from 83 wells in 2020, while activity in British Columbia is projected to increase from 367 wells in 2020 to 510 wells in 2021.

At 15 wells for 2021, activity in eastern Canada is expected to decrease nominally from its 2020 figure of 16 wells.
