Robert Kitchen re-elected as member of Parliament

By David Willberg The 2021 federal election didn’t bring much change on the national results, and it didn’t result in a change in the representation for Souris-Moose Mountain, either.

But based on the results for election night, local voters are all right with the lack of change locally.

Robert Kitchen of the Conservative Party was reelected as the riding’s member of Parliament during Monday night’s federal election, and in landslide fashion.

With 215 of the 216 polling stations reporting as of noon Wednesday, Kitchen, who has been this riding’s MP since 2015, had 29,271 of the 38,333 votes cast, or 76.4 per cent of the popular vote.

Diane Neufeld of the People’s Party of Canada was second with 3,517 votes, or 9.2 per cent. Hannah Duerr with the New Democratic Party was third with 3,002 votes (7.8 per cent), Javin Ames-Sinclair of the Liberal Party was fourth with 1,580 votes (4.1 per cent) and Greg Douglas of the Maverick Party was fifth with 963 votes

(2.5 per cent).

Kitchen grabbed a lopsided lead right off the hop as he had 84 per cent of the votes at the first polling station to report.

“It’s been a different election. This election was shorter in time frame than they have been in the past, but we said what we were going to do, which was to get out and be out and about the riding, and we put on 8,000plus kilometres to get that done, to be in every community at least once.”

Federally, the Liberals returned to power with another minority government, with 158 of the 338 seats in Parliament. A party would need 170 to form a majority.

The Conservatives won 119 to become the Official Opposition. The Bloc Quebecois won 34, the New Democratic Party 25 and the Green Party two.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau triggered the election on Aug. 22 amid accusations he was doing it to secure a majority government.

“We saw some positive things. We were up five seats in the Maritimes, which was something we were looking for,” said Kitchen.

“He (Trudeau) called the election for his own vanity, and ultimately Canadians have spoken on it, and we need to make sure we do the right steps, and depending what position we’ll be in,

how we’ll hold him accountable as we move forward.”

People in Souris-Moose Mountain told him Trudeau has to go. They also said they need to get the economy going, and have people back to work.

“As I drove around the riding, I had lots of people saying to me they can’t get people to work. It’s not just

in tourism. It’s in the oilfield.

It’s in potash. It’s in farming … they’re all asking for people, and they can’t get people to work, and that makes no sense when we have such a high unemployment rate.”

Kitchen said he would continue to push hard for the energy sector, including carbon capture and storage.

Candidates reflect on federal election results

People’s Party of Canada candidate Diane Neufeld. File photo

By Greg Nikkel of the Weyburn Review Two of the candidates who ran in Souris-Moose Mountain have reacted to the results from Monday night’s federal election.

Diane Neufeld of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) was pleased and surprised to end up in second place behind the winner, Robert Kitchen of the Conservative Party. It was her first time in an election.

“I am very proud of the people who were behind me and who helped me. I came in second, and that’s an awfully big accomplishment considering this has been a PC stronghold for many years,” said Neufeld. “I’m very proud of what’s been

accomplished.”

Neufeld captured 3,436 of the 37, 418 votes cast, or 9.2 per cent of the popular vote.

She felt very positive about her campaign and about the positive reception people gave her as she went around the riding.

“I met hundreds and hundreds of people, and they were just amazing people.

Just showing them the PC platform versus the Liberal platform – once they realized they’re the same, it didn’t take much for them to say they would support our party,” she said.

It’s too early to say if she would run again if this minority government only lasts a couple of years, but she said she would definitely

Maverick Party candidate Greg Douglas. File photo help if someone wanted to run for the PPC. Asked if she was happy how her campaign went, Neufeld said, “Absolutely, it was very positive. I couldn’t have done anything different. We all knew to win would be an incredibly big hurdle. I’m not a politician, but I have learned so much and met so many amazing people.”

Maverick Party candidate Greg Douglas was disappointed but not overly surprised at the results of the election. Douglas received 941 votes, or 2.5 per cent of the popular vote.

“It’s a little bit sad. You spend $600 million on an election, and we essentially are sending back the same crew to Ottawa,” he said.

He was philosophical about his own results in Souris-Moose Mountain, which saw him finish fifth, and pointed out the Maverick Party is brand new, and he was one of only 29 candidates running in Western Canada.

“One always wants to get more support. With a brand new party, every vote we got we earned,” he said, paying tribute to his “small but mighty campaign staff” for helping him.

“The people in SourisMoose Mountain are the best people. I had a blast out there. They were thoughtful and receptive, and it makes me believe in democracy when people are willing to hear you out,” said Douglas, pointing out that every per-

son he talked to about the need for the West to get more respect agreed with him.

“In 36 days, there’s only so much you can do. My impression of the riding was wonderful.

They wanted Trudeau out in such a big way,” said Douglas, adding he congratulates Kitchen for being reelected to the seat.

“He’s a good man. Unfortunately, the Liberals and the Conservatives are all the same. … It’s sad to see. We’ll see what happens here in the next little while.”

New Democratic Party candidate Hannah Duerr declined to comment on election results, while Javin Ames-Sinclair of the Liberal Party did not respond to emails seeking comment.

The Szakacs family showcases their musical talents in Kipling’s Bell Park

By Laura Kish Curtis and Bonnie Szakacs from the Carnduff area spend most of their lives on the road ministering to others.

They have eight children, ranging in ages from seven through 24, who are also involved in the family ministry.

“Right now we’re filling in at the Baptist Church in Kipling, pastoring during this season,” explains Bonnie.

Every weekend the Szakacs family was performing, mostly on Saturday evenings, in the park until the evenings were getting too cool and dusk came too soon.

They played their last performance of the season on a cool and windy Sunday afternoon in Kipling’s Bell Park.

“We do music full time,” states Bonnie.

“Until COVID hit we were doing stuff a lot, we’d be on tour.”

“Right now we would normally be on a major tour for a couple of months in the autumn from coast to coast across Canada.”

The whole family travels together in an RV and hits the road to share their love of Jesus

gether although each of them rehearses quite frequently on their own.

“The fact that they are all having fun together,” explains Bonnie about what brings them the most joy about performing with their children and adds “they all love it and when we’ve at home practising they love it as well.”

“It’s who they are,” says Bonnie and Curtis.

“They love the Lord and they love to share that same love with people around them.”

It’s wonderful to have the whole family enjoy the same passion of music.

“Togetherness is so The Szakacs Family, from left, Sunny, Isaac, Bonnie, Meka, Amy, Heidi, Davidson, Peter, Alonzo and Curtis. important,” say Bonnie and Curtis.

Kitchen pleased Erin O’Toole will remain as party leader « A1 He is pleased that Erin O’Toole will remain the leader of the Conservatives, calling O’Toole a great leader.

“People need to get to know him, and unfortunately for Erin … he became the leader when the pandemic was on,” said Kitchen, who backed O’Toole in both of O’Toole’s Tory leadership bids.

“Everything was by Zoom, and Canadians didn’t actually get the chance to see who he really is.”

Kitchen said he would like to get O’Toole into this riding so that he can see he different industries in SourisMoose Mountain, and possibly attend the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show in Weyburn.

If a mistake is made, Kitchen said O’Toole would take responsibility.

“We have a prime minister who doesn’t do that. Doesn’t take responsibility. He blames somebody else. The … scandals are someone else’s fault,” said Kitchen.

Campaigning during a pandemic was a unique experience. He recalled his first election in 2015 spanned 2 1/2

months. The 2019 campaign was more conventional. This time, though, he was concerned they would have to do everything by Zoom.

“How do we get out and meet with people? I thanked so many people. I wanted to hear from the constituents, and they were very respectful. If they wanted me to wear a mask, I’d wear a mask. If they wanted me to keep distance I kept distance. It was a chance to hear from them.”

His biggest concern is it would turn into a Zoom campaign.

Kitchen was able to get out to some events in the constituency during the past five weeks.

In his victory speech, Kitchen thanked all those who had been part of his team, and helped him win the riding for a third time.

He believes Souris-Moose Mountain has a lot to offer.

“We are forward-thinking Canadians and we are caring Canadians, and we care about this country and we need to continue that,” he said.

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

This year has changed little

By Murray Mandryk It is difficult to argue with Premier Scott Moe on one point: this federal election did prove to be rather pointless … if you simply consider elections as a measure of the public desire for change.

Or at least, this appears what the final results seem to suggest: The Liberals finished the night with 158 seats or 32.2 per cent of the popular vote (the lowest ever by a governing party) — almost identical to their 2019 total of 157 seats and 33.1 per cent.

Similarly, the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) totals of 119 seats and 34 per cent were remarkably similar to the 2019 numbers of 121 seats and 34.3 per cent of the popular vote.

And so it goes down the line: the Bloc Quebecois, 34 seats and 7.8 per cent compared with 32 seats and 7.8 per cent in 2019; .the NDP, 25 seats and 17.7 per cent this year compared with 24 seats and 16 per cent in 2019; the Green Party, two seats and 2.3 per cent compared with three seats and 6.6 per cent popular vote in 2019; and the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) was again shut out of seats, although it did increase its popular to 5.1 per cent, nationally, from 1.6 per cent in 2019.

For the less-than-bargain basement cost of $610 million for Elections Canada to run the 2021 federal campaign —$108 million more than in 2019 because of COVID-19 protocols — we got pretty much what we had.

Certainly, it appears we got exactly what we had here in Saskatchewan with all 14 seats remaining in the hands of the Conservatives.

While pre-election hype suggested there would be close races in Desnethe-Missinippi-Churchill River with former long-serving NDP MLA Buckley Belanger carrying the banner for the Liberals and in Regina Lewvan and Saskatoon West with the NDP making a push, none of that came to fruition.

(Saskatoon West was closer, but it appears that even the mail-in ballots won’t make that much of difference).

Nor did the much-vaunted PPC surge make all that much difference. The roughly five-per-cent loss of vote for the Conservatives in Saskatchewan was roughly equal to the PPC’s gains here.

Sadly, one thing that certainly didn’t chance much is the politicking.

There surely seems to be evidence that voters very much thought Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should have been dealing with other matters like the pandemic instead of campaigning for a majority. (Remember: This election was Trudeau’s choice, and not one caused by a non-confidence vote in the House of Commons.)

But there is also something truly odd about Moe’s contention now that Trudeau should have instead spent the campaign “properly funding Canada’s chronically underfunded health system, working with provinces to increase vaccination rates in some of our hardest-to-reach communities.”

During the campaign, Moe wouldn’t even respond to Trudeau’s concerns about COVID-19 cases sky-rocketing in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

So if Moe had serious concerns about Ottawa not doing its part to help Saskatchewan with its hardest-to-reach Saskatchewan communities, why didn’t he say so during the election?

Elections are the precise time to talk about such matters. Moe was very vocal about the carbon tax and other matters in 2019 campaign. Why would he be silent in 2021 campaign during a pandemic?

It seems a lot of politicians have missed the election-night message from Canadian voters that they are tired of politicking.

Looking beyond what we think we’ll see

Shelley Luedtke One of the travel trends many are looking forward to resuming is phenomena travel; heading to a region of the world to witness in person a naturally occurring phenomenon.

Some favourites are cherry blossom trees, northern lights, an ice volcano or the crab migration. Depending on the event, some have a smaller window than others so planning the trip to occur at just the right time is an important factor in its success.

Even good planning can’t guarantee you will see the phenomenon at its peak. Nature doesn’t follow our personal agendas.

It isn’t just sights in nature that could be different than anticipated.

The Louvre and the Eiffel Tower may attract the majority of attention when it comes to landmarks in Paris but it is the Arc de Triomphe that is turning heads right now, thanks to the artis-

tic effort L’Arc de Triomphe Wrapped.

The famous structure is spending 16 days encased in 323,000 square feet of fabric, silvery blue in colour. The fabric is held in place by 22,960 feet of rope, allowing it to billow and move with the breeze.

The concept was created by artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude who draped other landmarks, waterways and islands in their career. Both artists have passed away, but others have taken up their work to see this vision realized. So, if you were in Paris, how might you react if one of the stops on your itinerary looked remarkably different than you were anticipating?

Perhaps you would be frustrated that you weren’t seeing the arch in the way you expected or maybe you’d be thrilled that your time in the city coincided with this project.

I was able to fulfill a dream when I was in Indiana and got to spend time at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home of the Indy 500. There is a great museum on site with all kinds of race cars and driver exhibits, and you can have your picture taken with the Borg-Warner trophy, presented to every winning driver since 1936.

The five-foot tall trophy is a classic and I couldn’t

wait to stand beside it and pose for a picture.

Except it wasn’t there.

When we visited it was in France with the previous year’s Indy winner, Simon Pagenaud.

A couple travelled to South Carolina for their wedding, wanting to return to a location they had visited years before.

A pretty spot near a creek at a local park was their chosen destination. They received permission to use the space, but so did an organization that was hosting a city-wide kids’ day. The accidental double booking meant the wedding ceremony was competing with fire engines and bouncy castles.

No matter what sort of event we are anticipating, variables totally beyond our reach can affect our experience. Crowds, closures, weather, traffic, and equipment malfunctions are just some of the potential elements that can impact the overall picture for any of us.

While we can’t change those variables, we certainly can determine what our attitude is going to be as we deal with them.

The team that draped the Arc de Triomphe was carrying out the vision of artists who wanted their work to act as a disrupter. By temporarily covering wellknown monuments, they hoped to get people to think twice about what’s

around them and look again at what they might pass by without much regard. In the unexpected perhaps something new can be discovered.

While some brides and grooms might be irritated having their wedding day dreams overshadowed by cotton candy machines and rambunctious children, this couple decided against blaming anyone for the mix-up and instead embraced the unexpected situation, even posing with some of the costumed characters brought in to entertain the kids.

No, I didn’t get to pose with the BorgWarner trophy but the temporary exhibit at the museum that summer put me up close and personal with memorabilia from one of the sport’s foremost drivers, as well as an examination of the cultural impact of his career. Historical and sociological analysis wrapped up together in one large interactive display — pure gold for me.

There are a lot of things in life that seem to happen like that. Knowing we don’t control the variables should make us all the more aware that we are in charge of our response. Maybe we didn’t get to see what we came for, but perhaps we were able to see so much more as a result. That’s my outlook.

Meet Graham Carter, owner of Monster Enterprises Submitted by Gord Paulley Just east of Arcola, on the north side of Highway 13, a large white building with a convoy of trucks declares this to be the home of Monster Enterprises.

The Observer recently caught up with owner Graham Carter, who heartily agreed to an interview.

Carter, now 41, was born and raised in Provost, Alta. After working the oilpatch in Fort McMurray for several years, he came back home to the family farm. In 2010, he was operating his own hydrovac and accepted a two-week oilfield job near Arcola.

It was quite the decision. Carter fell in love with the area and formed a business known and still operating as Littlehawk, which he sold in 2015. A couple of years later, he formed his present company, Monster Enterprises.

“Southeastern Saskatchewan has been very good to me,” said Carter.

“I have worked in the oilpatch all my life and have been lucky to be a part of many of the boom years.”

Monster has seen steady growth and now has 15 full-time employees and owns and operates 13 trucks. His present building is 7,200 square feet and he is adding on an 80-by120foot extension which will include a large wash bay.

“While the oil patch has seen a slowdown since the last boom year of 2015, I really feel things are turning around. We are starting to see a noticeable increase in business,” Carter added. “I am very optimistic about staying

busy in the oilpatch for many years to come.”

Carter lives on a beautiful acreage just south of Arcola and has two children.

Son Cruz is nine and daughter Autumn is six. He is a stalwart contributor to various organizations and regularly donates to many fundraisers in the Arcola-Carlyle area.

“I am very happy living and working here in southeast Saskatchewan. Our province has good honest people that aren’t afraid of hard work. I am very fortunate to have employees of the highest quality.

It’s a great place to raise a family.”

Graham Carter, owner of Monster Enterprises.

more opportunities to learn through the activities as well as the books with 162 children getting involved in a four-week program that included some rain-soaked mornings and afternoons and loaded up vehicles that brought seedlings, books and construction materials to the classes.

“The feedback from parents was very positive,” said Bechard-Fuller, “we had family engagement successes.”

“I am looking forward to doing this again,” said Shakotko, “I want to engage older students, perhaps with graphic novels and we want to be more intentional with parents/guardians, keeping them in mind so that we get all more engaged in the books.”

The second segment was brought forward by Cheryl Anderson, co-ordinator of student services, and Raylene Forseth, a mental health consultant, who focused on mental health initiatives.

Anderson said that Forseth, who began working with the division in 2019, pulled items together to make delivery more efficient.

“She made sure we got them out there and used our key resources while being connected to the Saskatchewan curriculum.”

With the COVID pandemic in full force, the two felt it was important to pay attention to the whole child, deal with stress factors and “getting the lid back on,” for those students being victimized by various events in the current environment.

Forseth said they now have trauma sensitive schools willing to respond to specific traumatic events and their correlation to learning processes. She noted there is a high rate of family trauma in the province and toxic stress can be found more often.

Anderson added they currently have seven professionals on board as school counsellors for schools and families and daily positive contact with students who required that frequent connection.

In terms of family engagement, Forseth noted that “each school has their own social media presence.”

The two professionals walked the board members through a sample of learning using the upstairs brain and downstairs brain to help regulate emotions and how the brain keeps people safe through learning and when the brain is not calm and regulated it then tells people to fight, flee or freeze.

The two women delved into learning and wellness opportunities and family engagement through the Kitchen Table Connection program, community collaboration with other professionals as well as self-help concepts such as screen time budgets, posting and sleep patterns.

“Our work is ongoing, dealing with life, learning, coping during the past 18 months,” said Forseth.

“We are focused on relationships and recognize the work done by division staff.”

Fuel Good Day barbecue raised money for KidSport

By Laura Kish Hometown Co-op in Kipling held their Fuel Good Day barbecue on Sept. 21 at the corner lot on Main Street beside the library.

They were lucky enough to have a beautiful sunny afternoon for the event, attracting over 80 lunch guests.

Barbecue proceeds, as well as 10 cents from every litre of fuel sold at the Broadview and Grenfell convenience stores, was donated to the local KidSport committees.

The money will be donated to the Kipling KidSport committee.

All funds raised by KidSport Kipling stay in

the community to get local kids off the sidelines and into a season of sport, helping build strong kids and strong communities.

A total of $3,140 was granted to kids in Kipling last year, benefitting 96 kids.

By supporting KidSport, everyone wins.

When kids have access to sport they improve in school, become stronger leaders, create safer communities, ignite inclusivity and fuel healthy habits for life.

“We believe that no kid should be left on the sidelines and all should be given the opportunity to experience the positive benefits of organized sport,” states the Kidsport mission.

Manning the food table at the Fuel Good Day barbecue were Cassandra Ovans, Leanne Hoblyak, Susan Hengen and Grace Ginter.

Renovations now complete at Gudmundson Family Insurance Submitted by Gord Paulley Dale Gudmundson and his staff held a customer appreciation day last week. Renovations to the Co-operators building on Railway Avenue are now complete and include new flooring, paint and reception area. Members of the local fire department served a delicious barbecue lunch.

Gudmundson is a direct writer for Co-operators Insurance and purchased the Co-operators business in 2009. Prior to that, it was owned by Ken and Sheila Colpitts.

This was a great opportunity for Gudmundson and his family, who continue to look forward to helping people with their insurance needs.

Martine Stillwell has been on staff since 2011 and is an associate in-

surance advisor. Taylor Muehr joined the team in early 2021 and is a clerical/associate insurance advisor.

“We all pride ourselves in providing topnotch customer service to our clients,” said Gudmundson. “Insurance is sometimes a complicated matter. We strive to go over each individual policy in great detail explaining the benefits to our customers in simple

everyday language.”

Gudmundson Family Insurance is a fullservice business that offers home, farm, commercial, auto and travel insurance as well as wealth management services. They have a loyal clientele and thank all of their customers for the

opportunity to serve.

Gudmundson fully supports many nonprofit organizations in Carlyle and area and he is pleased to advise that the entire proceeds of this luncheon have been donated to Carlyle Fire and Rescue. “$869.55 was raised and

we have topped this up to $1,000,” added Gudmundson. “We also wish to thank Dennis Feduk for the donation of a pie which was raffled and to Gavin Thomas for the propane fill. Please feel free to stop in, have a coffee, and see our newly renovated office.”

Pet Corner

It’s just “Puppy Love” - Two businesses joins forces Submitted by Gord Paulley Entrepreneurs Deb Andrew and Andrea McEwen have known each other for years and are well known in the Carlyle area for their love of canines.

Andrew and her husband Blair opened their Second Family Dog Lodge, located just west of Carlyle, back in 2018.

An addition was added in 2019 and they can now house 30 dogs.

McEwen, owner of Just Fur Paws, has professionally groomed and trained dogs for over 20 years. She grew up in Brandon, Man., and moved to Carlyle in 2011. Since then, she has worked mainly out of her

residence northeast of town at the old Krieger farm and acreage. She is the sister of professional curler Mike McEwen.

Her partner, Terry Goebel, works at Spearing Service in Oxbow and he is also owner of Moose Mountain Leisure.

Andrew and McEwen have decided to join forces and are constructing a 24-foot by 32-foot addition to the existing Second Family Dog Lodge facility. It will be fully winterized and hopefully ready for use

by Nov. 1. This will enable customers to drop off their pets as normal, but will also allow McEwen to groom and train them at virtually the same location.

McEwen will also sell

training gear, food, and other supplements. Both Andrew and McEwen are very excited about their new venture.

“Andrea and I are thrilled to become business partners and we expect a long-lasting, satisfying relationship. We love our dogs and this industry has really expanded the past few years. Our customers often have more than one pet and to become a one-stop shop it will be convenient and seamless for them,” said Andrew.

“Deb and I have different businesses and have never been in competition with each other.

Aligning our strengths under virtually one roof is definitely the right thing to do,” added McEwen.

Deb Andrew, owner of Second Family Dog Lodge, and Andrea McEwen, owner of Just Fur Paws .

Both Andrew and McEwen have loyal clientele but are always ready to serve new customers. Andrew’s contacts

Just Fur Paws is on the move, in more ways than one

By Deb Andrew Andrea McEwen has spent most of her life learning about and caring for animals of all kinds, but her years focusing on her favorite breed, miniature bull terriers, has resulted in amazing achievements for both McEwen and her babies.

McEwen’s first bull terrier, Amarantine Audris, was one of Canada’s most decorated standard bull terriers in history.

Audris lived a grand life from her birth in 2005 until she passed in 2020.

Many of the dogs McEwen has bred and sold to loving families have also received accolades in the show ring and other competitions.

Her current dogs,

Oberyn (Anatolian shepherd), Relik and Fleet (miniature bull terriers) are all decorated with various awards ranging from Best Puppy, Canine Good Neighbour, Registered Emotional Support Dog, Best in Show and many other owner/handler awards. Most recently, Relik and Fleet have both placed in the top of their class in urban rat hunt, agility and best of breed, to name a few.

With all the numbers, letters and ribbons behind her and her dogs, you would think she would be proud to the point of arrogance; but not McEwen.

She has taken all her years of knowledge and experience and decided to share those loves with everyone in caring for dogs in ways

the everyday person may want help. Grooming and training and even caring for a puppy from birth to death, she gives all she knows and even a helping hand.

McEwen offers many great group training classes such as Ready, Set… Rat, Agility Foundation, Novice Trick Dog, Basic & Advanced Obedience with Canine Good Neighbour Prep and Puppy Foundation/Socialization. There are many outcomes that people can accomplish with their fur babies through these classes, but the best of all is having a confident, wellmannered, healthy, social companion for the dog’s entire life.

When McEwen hears of a family with a new

puppy, she offers help in any way she can from any distance. When she meets a confident, happy dog, McEwen congratulates and compliments the family because she appreciates the time and effort that has gone into that relationship.

Fleet earned her barn hunt instinct title (RAT1), novice barn hunt (RATN), *3 qualifying runs* and her first Q in Open Barn Hunt.

Relik earned her barn hunt instinct title years ago and this past weekend earned her novice barn hunt title.

“Watching her compete and use her instincts again was awesome,” McEwen beamed. Relik just gave birth to two puppies, one boy and one girl,

Dog training classes are offered through Andrea McEwen’s Just for Paws. Photo submitted 12 weeks ago and McEwen kept the female puppy to continue the long line of companionship and other rewards.

You can follow McEwen and her fur babies and all their competition results on Facebook at Amarantine Ranch.

A husband with a thriving business, four young children and acreage life has not stopped Katie Mryglod from continuing to train dogs whenever she can.

“I want people to know they can still con-

tact me and I will get back to them as soon as I can,” Mryglod explained.

Mryglod has been very successful at working one on one with clients who just can’t seem to get a handle on some unwanted behaviours in their dogs or

who truly just want to solidify some continued training.

“Now that school is back in for the fall, I will be devoting small windows of time to help those that I can. I love it,” she explained. “It is sometimes just the little rewarding break I need

in a busy day.”

With a busy, growing household and animals on the acreage, Mryglod is the perfect volunteer for Bright Eyes Dog Rescue as well. Helping people and their dogs out of tough situations is a rewarding experience for her and building trusted relationships with people means a lot to her in this area. Fostering is a wonderful way to bring a dog into your home for a short time and the benefits to children and other animals are many.

Go to Katie’s K9 Training on Facebook to follow or get a hold of Mryglod for one on one training needs. Follow Bright Eyes Dog Rescue to see how you can help.

Southeast A’s win U15 AAA baseball league title The Southeast A’s U15 AAA baseball team ended their season on a high note, winning the Regina Baseball League championship Sunday with a 7-4 win over the White Butte Broncos. The game was played in White City.

The A’s trailed 3-0 in the bottom of the first inning, but rallied with two runs in the second inning and five in the fifth to lead 7-3. White Butte rounded out the scoring with one in the fifth.

Axton Martin hit a home run for the A’s in the second inning. Matthias Fornwald went two for three in the final, in-

cluding a two-run single in the fifth that gave the A’s a 4-3 lead.

Nathan Yunick started for the A’s and went 4 1/3 innings. Kade Phillips came on in relief and didn’t allow a hit or a run in 2 2/3 innings.

All of the outs that Phillips recorded were by strikeout.

The A’s and the Broncos were the top two teams in the U15 division during the regular season, and the final was the only game of the playoffs.

Gordon F. Kells High School Cougar Corner Submitted by Trent Johnson and Kevin Dyck The Carlyle Cougars Senior Girls Volleyball team is back in action in 2021. It has been an exciting first two weeks for the girls, with lots of fun, lots of smiles and lots of excitement back in the gymnasium.

After a busy start to the year with tryouts and practices, the girls started off the tournament season with the annual Mega

Volleyball Tournament in the communities of Arcola and Carlyle. Twelve teams participated in games for the first time in almost two years, and it was amazing in all facets.

The gym was rocking and when it was all done, it was the Kipling Magyars defeating the Carnduff Tigers in the championship final.

It was great to see everyone back playing, all the excitement from players and parents and so much more. The Carlyle

girls lost in the semifinals to Kipling in a very exciting match, losing 2-0 (2826, 25-20) but were very happy with their third place performance for the first weekend of volleyball in almost 20 months.

A big thanks to all the fans, officials and Arcola School for cohosting once again.

After a couple more practices this past week, the girls travelled to Carnduff to participate in the Carnduff invitational senior girls tournament. After an average round robin pool winning against Moosomin, Wawota and

Next action for the Cougars is next weekend in Kipling followed by a trip to Yorkton for the Raiders Sr. Girls tournament. The girls are hopeful that the year continues. Even with the COVID restrictions, it has been a great start to the Saskatchewan High School Athletics Association volleyball season.

Last race of the season for motocross circuit Submitted by Kate Lees

The South Corner Racing Circuit (SCRC) has come to the end of another season.

On Sept. 18, the Bowan Rekken Memorial Motocross Track hosted the last race of the seven-race series. Riders were at the track as early as the day before in their campers and could be seen practicing from 9 a.m. on Saturday.

The SCRC racing circuit is focused on providing a family friendly race series that promotes sportsmanship and fun where racers

can grow. Racers of all skill levels are given the change to share in their passion and love of motocross and dirt bikes.

The races are held at the Estevan, Weyburn, Alameda, Assiniboia and Carlyle motocross tracks.

The 2021 summer season has been a talent-filled one, divided among 11 classes with fierce competition within each class. Even for people who don’t consider themselves sports lovers, these races may surprise you to see the dedication and love from racers aged five to 70 years old.

Rail Safety Week is an annual initiative that aims to raise awareness of the need for rail safety education and provides tools for Canadians to stay safe near railroad crossings and rightsof-way.

In addition to the proclamation, the Canadian Safety Train Express will be holding a number of contests and prizes during the week. To learn more about the Canadian Safety Train Express’ events and activities, visit www.canadiansafetytrain.ca.

The gift of a teepee for Arcola School Submitted by Gord Paulley This past week the Pheasant Rump Nakota First Nation visited the Arcola School in a big way, in the spirit of treaty relationship building.

They celebrated their visit with the donation of a teepee.

Councillor Juanita McArthurBigEagle builds the continued education relationship with the gesture of gifting this handmade teepee for the spirit and intent of the treaties.

Chief Ira McArthur provided the Observer with some background.

“Pheasant Rump students have been attending this school since 1990. This year, we have 38 students registered from Grades 5 to 12. We are gifting this teepee to the Arcola Community ,School as a gesture of thanks on behalf of past, present, and future students

of our First Nation. It signifies the investment we have in our youth and unites our communities.”

There were a number of dignitaries in attendance at this impromptu ceremony including Pheasant Rump councillors, parents, elders, and, of course, teachers and students.

McArthur has been chief of Pheasant Rump Nakota First Nation the past seven years.

“Our First Nation is extremely proud of how our people have interacted with Arcola and the South East Cornerstone School Division over the past 30 years.

Continued collaboration and integration is expected.”

Chief McArthur also wishes to remind everyone that Sept. 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation across Canada. Celebrations are planned that day at Pheasant Rump Nakota First Pictured from left, Sergeant Tasha Reid, Elder Joan McArthur, Councillor Juanita Nation. Everyone is welcome.

South East Cornerstone School Division releases update to safe schools plan The South East Cornerstone Public School Division has released an update to its safe schools plan.

“As our province, our region and our schools are experiencing increased COVID activity, it is paramount that our Safe Schools Plan be enhanced to support the safety of all students and staff with an intentional focus on those who do not have access to vaccinations,” Cornerstone said in a letter posted to its Facebook page Thursday.

The school division noted that its initial plan, released Aug. 23, stated “there may be significant changes and challenges in epidemiology that would require whole system response including masking or remote learning.”

As per the direction of Premier Scott Moe, effective Sept. 17, all students, staff and visitors must wear masks in indoor venues, which includes schools. This does not apply to youth athletes while actively engaged in extra-curricular sport.

“There may be other implications of the provincial announcement today. We will provide an update when direction has been finalized,” the letter stated.

Effective Sept. 20, the following additional measures will be put in place: •For cohorts and structures, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classes will revert to minicohorts within the class setting to support playbased learning; Grades 1 to 6 classes will return to forward facing structure and barriers will be utilized for small group and co-operative learning opportunities; and high school classes will continue to be timetabled to minimize cohort mixing over the course of a day.

•For close contacts/ self-isolation, the Public Health Order released on Sept. 13, and updated on Sept. 15, provides direction regarding close contacts, self-isolation and attendance at school. The order allows fully vaccinated persons to be exempted from the require-

ment to self-isolate, and provides exceptions from self-isolation for schoolaged children in order to reduce the societal burden associated with parental or guardian absence from work, and to ensure children can continue in-person learning.

All students and staff in a classroom or on a bus are considered a close contact if a positive COVID-19 case attended while infectious and may attend school if the student does not have or display symptoms of COVID-19, and the pupil wears a face covering at all times while attending school or daycare. The mask may only be removed when the student is eating or drinking, while seated.

Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated students identified as close contacts are not able to participate in extra-curricular activities during the self-isolation period.

The students must also follow the provincial selfisolation directions outside of school hours. Bus students who are identified as close contacts will

continue to be allowed to use SECPSD transportation to and from school.

If an unvaccinated student is exposed to COVID-19 and considered a close contact due to exposure outside of a school setting, the same process applies.

COVID-19 cases diagnosed Alida weekly news at Kipling School Submitted by Edel Cowan

The Saskatchewan Health Authority has advised Prairie Valley School Division (PVSD) it has declared COVID-19 outbreaks at Kipling School and at the James Hamblin School in Qu’Appelle.

An outbreak is declared when two or more cases of transmission occur within a specific classroom or school environment.

In a statement issued Sept. 20, the PVSD said there has been a total of 11 positive COVID-19 cases in Kipling and two cases in James Hamblin. One class at Kipling School transitioned to remote learning, starting Sept.

21 and continuing until Sept. 29.

In an update issued Sept. 21, the PVSD said it has been advised of several more cases of COVID-19 involving individuals connected with Kipling School.

“We continue to work with the Saskatchewan Health Authority on identifying individuals who were in close contact with those who tested positive,” the PVSD said. “These close contacts will receive a letter with specific instructions from the SHA.” Prairie Valley School Division is working closely with the Saskatchewan Health

Authority to determine close contacts to those who tested positive.

These individuals will be advised in writing on next steps.

“These outbreaks are a reminder that Saskatchewan is currently dealing with an extremely infectious COVID variant, and outbreaks can occur anywhere,” PVSD said in a news release. “The best defense against the spread of COVID-19 and serious illness is vaccination.

“Prairie Valley School Division is encouraging everyone to get vaccinated, as soon as they become eligible.”

The Alida Archives & Library board members appreciate the support that they received from the sale of some of their stuff.

Special appreciation goes to the Redvers Library and Moosomin Library, who both purchased some of our library shelving units.

And of course appreciation goes to all who visited and purchased many of our books – we do hope that you’ll enjoy the books you chose.

Just a reminder that there are still a large number of books still available –call either

Shelly at 306-485-7023 or Edel at 306-4858561 to set up an appointment to come visit the library and pick out some books at your convenience. We do aim to please.

Now that there are new COVID-19 restrictions in place – do keep an eye and ear open as to the happenings for the Alida Haunted House & Fun Fair that is in the process of being built and organized as a fun-raising event near the end of October at the Alida Rink.

We are hoping that this event will still go ahead while following the COVID-19 restrictions, otherwise it may

have to be cancelled. So it’s up the air right at this time.

Sept. 20 was election day. Hopefully you did your duty and cast a ballot for the one you feel will do a good job at governing our country.

Do the democratic thing and vote.

Please remember folks to keep me posted whenever you have news on any happenings that are going on in and around Alida as well as within your own family circle – simply contact me any time. I will be sure to see that it gets into my column.

I do appreciate all your input as it does help to make things interesting.

Cornerstone board holds first meeting of school year The South East Cornerstone Public School Division (SECPSD) held its first meeting of the school year on Sept. 15.

The Cyber Stone Virtual School, a key component of the SECPSD overall mandate, was engaged in a significant growth pattern over the past year.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in interest in the virtual school’s offerings and an expansion that now includes all elementary grades as well as high school courses online

delivered by SECPSD educators.

Lynn Little, director of education, noted that expanded programs are now being delivered across the division with additional program features and that there is now a common delivery station for staff members who are delivering these programs to students of all ages and grade levels.

Shelley Toth, chief financial officer, gave board members some updated information on mobile cellular de-

vices that belong to the school division and who is entitled to use them.

When asked who those users might be, she reported that the list was fairly extensive and included most administration personnel including principals.

• • • A motion to allow the Lord’s prayer to be delivered in specific schools was once again approved by the board with only one dissenting vote cast.

The motion, carried out within the provin-

cial education authority allows the Gladmar Regional School, MacLeod Elementary School in Moosomin and Carievale School to recite the prayer on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, according to the school’s desire.

• • • The financial game of budgeting and final audits is approaching but Marilyn Yurkiw, SECPSD’s manager of finance, informed the board that early reporting indicated the division was well within

budgeted figures, but there were a few areas where COVID induced activities or non-activities had skewered the prognostications.

In total, however, the current year’s revenues were anticipated to be just short of $115 million which would mean a 2.06 per cent increase from the budgeted intake, while total expenditures of about $111.5 million would leave the division with a $905,000 surplus on the operations side of the budget.

Some of these figures will still change, she said. In the meantime the auditing team will be attending near the end of this month to conduct their official tabulations.

• • • The next public meeting for the Cornerstone board will be held on the afternoon of Oct. 13 with the hopeful expectations that it can be a fully attended session in the head office conference room, following an in-camera morning session.

HOROSCOPES ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

If you’re single, get prepared to mingle, Aries. If you’re attached, then your relationship will only grow stronger in the days to come. Romance is in the air, so embrace it.

Someone close to you may be thinking of a reinvention and wants your opinion, Cancer.

Support this person and all the changes he or she desires.

A place you always enjoyed visiting may no longer hold the same appeal for you, Libra. That’s okay because everyone grows and evolves. Enjoy finding a new source of inspiration.

Capricorn, even though you have strong instincts about something, your emotions also may be running hot. Therefore, you might not be able to trust your instincts just yet.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

You must make yourself available if you expect others to want to share ideas or information with you, Scorpio. So far you may have been a bit distant. Change this.

Aquarius, your energy levels could be waning, but that’s because you have been pushing yourself very hard lately. It’s time to rest to be recharged for later.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

Figure out where your comfort levels lie, Sagittarius. Only then will you know just how far beyond those levels you’re willing to push yourself to try new things.

Don’t let others be your sole focus this week, Pisces. Figure out how to put yourself first without ignoring those around you.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, even if you’re feeling a little stuck in your relationships, do not push others away. There may be a solution you’re simply not seeing. Delve deeper.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, it may be time to break away from the typical routine — at least for a little while. This can offer you a new perspective that puts you on an interesting path.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Good habits will pay off in the days to come, Leo. So if you’re ready to make some changes, think about those that will improve your overall health and well-being.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if you’re feeling pressured to have fun, then you probably will not enjoy yourself no matter how hard you try. Try not to force things and take them as they come.
