Former Stoughton resident competes on Big Bake

By Greg Nikkel of the Weyburn Review A former Stoughton resident, Monique Regier, competed in a team of three on a Halloween-themed edition of the Food Network’s Big Bake Show, and it will air on Oct. 18 at 6 p.m.

Now living and running her own baking business in Calgary, Regier graduated from Stoughton Central School in 2002, and has owned and operated her home-based business for the past four years.

She is the daughter of Kim and Sharlet Coderre of Stoughton.

The path to competing on the TV baking show began when the Food Network contacted her friend, Amanda Jones, about taking part in the Big Bake competition. Jones in turn enrolled her, and a third team member, Victoria German, to compete with her, and they formed the “Buttercream Dreams” team.

This was Regier’s

first time to take part in such a competition, but Jones had done this before.

The big challenge in this contest was to make a really big cake, measuring five feet high and 2 1/2 feet wide, with a five-hour time limit and with a design that earn the approval of the judges, said Regier.

Asked if as a professional baker she had ever made one this large before, she replied, “Definitely not this big, which is what makes it challenging,” she said.

The show was actually taped some time ago, as they flew to Toronto in February, but due to delays and COVID disruptions, they weren’t sure when it would get to be shown. Even before the taping, there were challenges with cancelled flights and delays, and not knowing if it would get rescheduled.

Her home-based business is called Butter Love Sugar, and she makes cakes and cupcakes for all sorts of occasions, from wedding

and anniversaries to birthdays. Regier had previously worked for 12 years as a sales manager, but after having a son in 2016, she wanted a way to have better balance between work and her family.

“I decided not to go back to work, and I wanted to pursue my love of baking,” she said.

Of this challenge, she said, “I do cakes almost every day, but you never have a time limit like this one. The time is really a challenge. They almost made it impossible, but the stakes are high.”

Her friend Jones is a designer, and in their businesses they often work together where Jones provides the ideas and design, and Regier bakes accordingly – and that’s how they were able to work as a team for this competition.

Regier added that she and her team had fun doing the show and had a good time. They aren’t allowed to say how it went, as the winner of the $10,000 prize

The judges included chef Eddie Jackson and Terry Eastwood.

Regier’s team and

friends are planning to hold a watch party for the show’s broadcast at the Silver Springs Golf and Country Club in Calgary.

Her mom Sharlet said she and Kim and their two daughters who live in Stoughton will gather at their home to watch the show.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane to the All Saints Anglican Church at Cannington Manor Submitted by Gord Paulley

Located 10 minutes north of Manor on the No. 603 grid road, the All Saints Anglican Church stands strong and majestic.

The Observer had the opportunity to visit the church grounds and visit with Anglican priest Michelle Moore, archivist Autumn Downey and curator Leigh Robinson.

The first church service was held in 1883 in the parlour of Captain Pierce, the founder of Cannington Manor. The church

was built the following year and consecrated in 1885. For over 135 years, Cannington Manor had withstood the test of time until in 2010, a crop of mushrooms was discovered within its sanctuary.

Therefore, with the property being designated a municipal heritage property, government funding was received through the Saskatchewan Heritage Foundation, the Community Initiatives Fund and various personal and business donations. Major renovations then began. The entire concrete foun-

dation was replaced as were several wooden beams that were over 100 years old.

New cedar shingles were added and the re-application of plaster and paint ensures that this beloved little church will continue to inspire unborn generations for years to come.

This interior and exterior conservation won the 2012 Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan Heritage Architecture Excellence Award.

“There is a lot of history etched into the walls of this church,” explained Downey. “Already six generations have passed through its doors, and many of the area settlers are

The first burial was that of Charles Rushbrooke, a settler from England who passed away in 1888.

The recently published cemetery book is now available.

“We are extremely proud of our Anglican church”, said Moore.

“Services are still held the fourth Sunday of the month from May through September at 1 p.m. The church holds 75 and is next to a picnic shelter. Weddings, baptisms, anniversaries, renewal of vows, funerals and family reunions happen regularly throughout the summer.” Added Robinson: “With the major renovations being completed just over 10 years ago, this historic mini cathedral has a solid foundation that should withstand the test of time. All of us do a lot to keep the property and cemetery looking clean and manicured.

It is definitely a great historical place to visit

here in South-Eastern Saskatchewan.”

Moore and Downey have also collaborated on a book, which is titled A History of All Saints Anglican Church Cemetery Cannington Manor. This book contains a treasure trove of history and a number of names stand out who have descendants still living in the area now.

Brayford, Beck, Downey, Entwistle, Moore, Purser and Turton. These are just some of the names that grace the pages of this very well-written history book. It would make for a great stocking stuffer. For information on how to obtain a copy, contact Moore at 306-577-9704 or Downey at 306-5775453.

Lampman author Ulrich releases her latest women’s hockey fiction book Shootout

By Ana Bykhovskaia With the release of the Shootout, Lampman’s Maureen Ulrich has completed her Jessie Mac hockey series. The fourth book takes a new approach to the plot, still bringing the readers back into the filled-with adventures world of long-loved characters and hockey.

The latest and the last book in the Jessie Mac hockey series took a long time, but now, all that work is completed, Ulrich said she is happy with how everything went. She first thought about writing about university hockey about nine years ago, and that’s when she created the first few chapters. But then until recently, not much was happening with the book.

“Since 2014, I wanted to write a book that incorporated a storyline about university athletics … I did start a manuscript at some point, I wrote a couple of chapters, and just kind of got bogged down and couldn’t seem to find my way through,” recalled Ulrich. “Then once I got into revising the first three books in the series, and I knew I wanted to write a fourth

to finish this off, it gave me a chance to think about potential storylines … It feels like I started over. I learned a lot by revising the first three books of the series, which I relaunched in 2020.

And I’ve hopefully applied what I’ve learned to book four.”

Ulrich didn’t use a lot from the original novels, written nine years ago, and it took her about six months to craft Shootout.

One of the things that made writing this book easier was the pandemic, which put most things on pause and made the writing process so more valuable and enjoyable.

“It was a little bit of a dream, to be able to go back in time and write about things that were not (happening). I mean, some of the girls were allowed to practise last year if they were under 18. But other than that, there was no university athletics across Canada. And I had the time and the space, and then the desire to reflect, and the desire to manifest that story and do it justice,” Ulrich said.

The brand-new book continues with the story of the main character Jessie McIntyre, who shares the stage with her

younger sister Courtney.

“This book, Shootout, is told from two viewpoints. So there’s Courtney, who’s 14, who has the odd (numbered) chapters, and then Jesse, who is 19, has the even chapters,” explained Ulrich.

In Shootout, Courtney McIntyre navigates Grade 9 at the Estevan Comprehensive School while playing boys hockey for the first time. And her sister Jessie is in her second year with the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) Huskies, discovering the hard way what it takes to be an elite player in an elite league. Shootout revisits the Huskies’ 2013-14 season.

Ulrich said that sports play a big role in her life, and her daughter playing for U of S inspired her to take what she knew about university athletics and use it as a platform for the book.

“My daughter played with the University of Saskatchewan for five years. And university sports, they’re not the highest level, obviously, in the country, professional sports would take that stage, but they’re so classy, and so well done, and so difficult, because these athletes have to balance school along with their sporting pursuits,” Ulrich explained.

Four fictional characters in Shootout, including Jessie, are inserted into the Huskies’ saga, surrounded by reallife players and coaches.

Ulrich used the Canada West division records of the games, game stories of the U of S Huskies website, as well as players’ personal recollections, to create the “real” part of the book. While conversations in the book, of course, are not captured literally, Ulrich said she wrote them based on facts and they consist of something the real characters could have said.

She followed the schedule of the 2013-14 team, their results and goals, apart from those by the four fictional characters.

She said balancing between real history and fiction was quite a bit of a job, as she had to replace some real people with fictional characters that were acting differently

from what happened.

While the four characters are fictional, they still had some real-life prototypes behind them, Ulrich said.

“There’s Jessie’s friend Kathy Parker, who’s definitely inspired by one of my daughter’s teammates, early on in her high school years.

And then the other characters, more or less I contract them to represent the types of girls that I saw play. A first-year defenceman, who starts off kind of naïve and ends up being quite sophisticated by the end of her first year. And then I’ve got another player who is gay to replicate the fact that there’s a lot of gay women who play hockey at a high level and are fantastic people and athletes,” Ulrich said.

While the book is focused on hockey there are many other themes sounding through the pages.

“If the young readers were going to pick up some lessons from this, I guess it would be just in terms of everybody’s got their story, and just having empathy for people, even people that you didn’t get along with, just trying to figure out where they’re coming from, that might explain why they act the way that they do.

I think there’s definitely something to be learned about letting go and when it’s time to let go of something,” Ulrich noted.

On Oct. 15 at 4 p.m., Ulrich will have a Shootout Zoom launch, hosted by publisher Wood Dragon Books at zoom. us/j/9396154822, with support from The Writers Union of Canada and Canada Council for the Arts.

The hope is to have different live readings and book signing at Estevan Public Library on Nov. 8 and in Lampman Public Library on Nov. 20.

“People are encouraged to register in advance for those. Just because if we end up having to go online, it’s nice to get ahold of whoever had planned to come and let them know that there’ll be a change. But at this point, we think that we’ll be able to go ahead with in-person events in those

Starting Oct. 15, it will be available at Henders Drugs and online.

“Henders Drugs have

been so great in carrying the series, and the books have moved really well there. I’m really pleased to have their partnership in this,” Ulrich said.

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

Skyrocketing COVID-19 deaths were avoidable

By Murray Mandryk Saskatchewan saw 58 COVID-19 deaths in October before the halfway point of the month.

The figure is even more alarming when compared with other Canadian jurisdictions.

Saskatchewan’s COVID-19 death rate in the past week is three per 100,000 — far surpassing other Canadian jurisdiction now facing a serious fourth wave outbreak. The rate in Alberta, New Brunswick and the Yukon Territory in this timeframe was two deaths per 100,000 people while the national rate was one death per 100,000.

This is a death rate that is 21 times that of Nova Scotia. So bad are the recent numbers that Saskatchewan is now creeping up on other jurisdictions that were hammered by COVID-19 in the early going.

After avoiding the high death counts suffered in Quebec and Manitoba where the previous waves ravaged nursing homes, Saskatchewan is now fifth among provinces in the per capita death rate at 63 per 100,000 people. The national rate is 74 per 100,000 driven by those high early numbers in Quebec (133/100,000) and Manitoba (88/100,000).

Yes, we all can hope that things will soon turn around. The problem, however, is the numbers suggest this won’t happen for a while.

Recent record Saskatchewan hospitalizations and ICU admissions will, sadly, produce result in more deaths.

Moreover, those people now hospitalized or now recovering fromCOVID-19 may suffer long-term effects of the novel coronavirus even after they do recover. And those who are also suffering in this province will also include those now missing surgeries, organ transplants and treatments and therapies because an overwhelmed hospital system simply can’t deal with them and the number of pandemic patients coming in for longer hospital stays.

Unlike in the first, second and third waves, the fourth wave has turned COVID-19 into something other than a disease that quickly killed the aged and those with health issues. While those 80 years and older still account for 45 per cent of all Saskatchewan COVID-19 deaths, that is now significantly less than the national average (around 66 per cent).

In short, the fourth wave has hit harder and hit younger people harder. And, tragically, this was likely avoidable. While July only saw 10 deaths, the rate tripled to 29 in August and more than tripled again to 97 in September.

This was during the summer when warmer weather — including an unseasonably warm September and October — slowed down transmission.

But it was policy decisions that really account for these numbers. As we marked Thanksgiving Day Monday last week with record hospitalizations and filled ICU beds, the day also marked three months since the July 11 reopening of Saskatchewan in which the province ended all masking, social distancing and public gathering restrictions.

The planned announced in May seemed wildly popular. By early July, Moe was off to attend the Calgary Stampede with Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, who congratulated his Saskatchewan counterpart on his early reopening.

Well, in the three months since then, Saskatchewan has experienced 32 per cent of all its COVID-19 cases and 31 per cent of all its deaths.

Meanwhile, the October Angus Reid poll shows Kenney’s popularity has plummeted to a mere 22 per cent in Alberta and Moe’s popularity is now at an alltime low for a Saskatchewan Party premier at 43 per cent.

It appears choices made by Moe’s government are catching up with him.

Yes, you can fence me in

Shelley Luedtke I remember the day my husband and I first toured houses with a realtor in anticipation of buying our first home.

We had been married for four years and were looking for a place for the two of us and a springer spaniel. We had hopes of adding children to the family (turns out we added more dogs, too) and asked to see places with a big backyard.

The house we chose had everything inside we were looking for and we knew it would suit us well. Then we stepped outside onto a great deck overlooking a beautiful backyard. Sold. It was perfect.

Not long after moving in we added a shepherd cross to the canine count. The dogs had their run of the space and we’re pretty sure they believed it was cared for entirely for their enjoyment.

When children arrived, the backyard took on a whole new person-

ality. The dogs found themselves sharing their kingdom with two girls and their stuff. A swing set and sandbox. Balls, nets, pails and shovels.

A child’s picnic table. An outdoor kitchen playset.

A wading pool.

The backyard has served as a soccer pitch, ice rink, mini golf course, slip ‘n slide straightaway, badminton court, sunbathing spot and the scene of many barbecues and late-night conversations around a fire. We’ve watched our kids, their friends and five (yes, five) different dogs play to their heart’s content.

All in the safe confines of a backyard fully enclosed by a six-foot tall wooden fence. A fence that has been stained, repaired, stained, fixed, stained, entirely rebuilt and was in need of staining once again, which we tackled this year. All 275 feet of it. Front and back.

Fences are enclosures. We use them to keep things in – or out – and they define space earmarked for specific purposes. School yards.

Pastures. Playgrounds.

Prisons. Animal pens.

Swimming pools. Construction sites. And for some, a backyard.

But fences do more than define a physical boundary. When we can’t make up our mind we are said to be on the fence, while setting high goals is swinging for the

fences. When we repair a relationship we are said to mend fences and when we believe someone else is doing better than we are, we may find ourselves believing the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.

The longest fence in the world is not in my backyard, although when you open the sixth can of stain it sure feels like it is. But the longest fence on record is found in Australia and stretches more than 5,531 kilometers, all designed to separate sheep from dingoes. It is effective, albeit costly protection, that is currently undergoing a five-year, $25 million upgrade; paid for by governments and agencies knowing what the fence protects carries a much higher price tag.

As I stained the fence (I do need to mention here that this was most definitely a family effort since my mom and sister went above and beyond to help us), I reflected on a friend I knew in my first year of university.

He was from a farm family and was at school not because he wanted to be, but because his parents wanted him to get a postsecondary education. At their insistence he applied, and a sizable entrance scholarship sealed the deal.

His parents wanted him to have options. He wanted nothing more

than to return to the farm life he loved. He said all he wanted to be doing was riding his land repairing fences. His parents didn’t want him fenced in and limited. He saw fences as opening up his life the way he pictured it to be.

I thought about that conversation more than once while staining. I was approaching it as a chore — something that needed to be done to protect our investment. He saw it as a chance to do something that mattered to him and to care for the life he’d always known.

Fences are all of the above. They protect and contain. They define and restrict. They aid in keeping in and keeping safe what we value. Or keeping out and keeping away what is not wanted.

They delineate where we should and shouldn’t be, and provide a sense of safety and even belonging.

Children in playgrounds, pets in backyards, livestock in pastures, and people in a place that is all theirs to enjoy, as long as they are willing to care for what they have.

And one of the best things about them? The gate. The portal that allows us to enter and exit, invite in and share our space. What a beautiful thing. Especially when upkeep is all done for another year. That’s my outlook.

Memorial golf tournament held in Windthorst

By Laura Kish Jessie Jordan organized the fourth annual memorial golf tournament in memory of his friend and coworker Myles DenoraLabreque.

Denora-Labreque arrived in the area a few years ago along with three friends, all from Quebec, looking for work in the area and all started their careers with Vaderstad near Langbank.

Sadly Denora-Labreque passed away in October 2017 from two traumatic brain injuries he sustained following a quad accident.

The tournament was held on Oct. 9 at

the Windthorst Country Club with 12 golfers taking part, raising approximately $1,100 to go towards scholarships.

Following a pizza supper donated by the Kennedy Hotel, a variety of prizes were won by the golfers.

“It wasn’t a huge crowd this year seeing that it was held on Thanksgiving weekend,” says Jordan. “Participants this year were either friends or co-workers of Myles.”

A scholarship was started in DenoraLabreque name with $500 going towards someone going into a trade. Both the Kipling School and LVIC Len-

noxville Vocational School in Quebec that Denora-Labreque and his friends attended will each receive a $500 scholarship. To date, a total of over $15,000 has been raised from holding these golf tournaments.

Vaderstad matches what the tournament raises each year.

“Flatland Plumbing gives $200 every year towards this as well,” says Jordan.

“My personal goal is to raise $25,000 by having these tournaments, enough to cover scholarships for 25 years.”

Another organizer of this tournament is Kim Doell who helped out selling the tickets

The group poses for a photo following their round of golf. Photo by Laura Kish prior to the tournament day.

“My boyfriend Jake

went to school in Quebec with Myles so that’s how I got to know Myles,”

explains Doell who was glad to help out with the event.

Big Six Hockey League holds scheduling meeting Submitted by Gord Paulley

The Big Six Hockey League held its annual scheduling meeting last week, and a few notable changes occurred.

The new league president is Ryan Toms of Redvers. Ryan Thompson of Midale remains as vice-president, while league secretary-treasurer Amanda Rokochy of Wawota is also still in her

role. Dean Horvath will continue to handle the stats and regularly update the Big Six website.

The Moosomin Rangers and Oxbow Huskies have been added to the league. In addi-

21103SS0 21103SS1

tion to the Arcola-Kisbey Combines being granted a one year’s leave of absence, the Kipling Royals are also not able to field a team this year.

The other teams in the league are the Bienfait Coalers, the Carlyle Cougars, the Carnduff Red Devils, the Midale Mustangs, the Redvers Rockets, the Wawota Flyers and the Yellow Grass Wheat Kings.

With nine teams in the league, there will

be a 16-game schedule, with each team playing a home and home with the other eight teams. The regular season will start the weekend of Nov. 19.

There will be three rounds of playoffs starting in February, with a best of three quarterfinal, a best of five semifinal, and either a best of five or best of seven league championship series, to be decided by mutual agreement of the finalists.

Toms is looking forward to the start of senior hockey.

“Due to COVID, the Big Six Hockey League did not crown a champion the past two years.

With all players, coaches, officials and executive having to be double vaccinated for 2021-22, we expect no additional medical issues this season. I expect to preside over a great league and an exciting year of Big Six Hockey,” Toms said.

Remember me Two things determined the theme of this week’s article; one of little importance to most people, the other, of great importance to many. Here’s what I wrote in response to the latter.

“It is with great sadness that we, members of the Powell River Community First Aid Team, received word of the death of Heather Farrell-Sketchley. Heather passed away Wednesday night, October 6, following a fairly short battle with a brain tumour. A key member of our team, a first aid instructor, among many other community activities, she will be greatly missed. Our

thoughts and prayers go out to her husband, Ray, and her family.”

The first item to which I referred was and is important to me, though. As I combed my hair recently, I used a brush I was given approximately six decades ago. I was about eight years old, living on Schoolhouse Road in New Westminster, B.C. Living across the street was a lovely couple; while I

don’t remember how many children they had, the one who stayed in my mind was physically and intellectually challenged.

I do remember taking him for “stroller rides” several times a week and I thoroughly enjoyed our times together. I know he enjoyed them too and his parents were most grateful.

Again, I don’t remember all the details but it was either on my birthday or one Christmas his parents gave me a beautiful comb, brush and mirror set . I’ve treasured and protected it all these years.

What really got me thinking was this question: How will people remember me when I’m gone? I know I have a reputation for being “religious” because I go to church but serving God in our daily lives is so much more than that.

“Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find faithful and wise.”

Military historian is remembering our veterans Submitted by Gord Paulley

Residents of Carlyle, Redvers, Stoughton and other communities in the southeast may have noticed that military memorial banners are being displayed on their main streets.

In 2019, on Remembrance Day, military historian Craig Bird spearheaded the opening of the Southeast Military Museums in Estevan. It is his goal to honour those who lost their lives in war, those who returned safely from combat missions, and those who continue to serve.

This fall, he has decided to recognize these war veterans in the form of memorial banners. Pictures will be on display every fall up to and including Remembrance Day. “Veterans are an important part of our history. We must forever remember them for giving us the freedoms we now enjoy. I am pleased to be able to help honour our military,” said Bird. If any families have veterans

Pictured on Main Street Carlyle is Private Walter Earl (Squeak) Beatty, killed in action in August 1942. that they wish to honour, banners are available for purchase from the South East Military Museum.

“I’ve always had a passion for the sport, and I wanted to give back to the kids and to the parents who used to teach us how to play a sport,” said Gallagher.

He has remained involved with coaching ever since.

“The boys still play hockey and our daughter is still in ball and the boys are still in ball. I still get to coach them and help out with the girls,” said Gallagher.

Coaching gives him an opportunity to spend time with kids and teach them the games.

J

ames Gallagher is a big part of baseball and hockey in Kipling.

Not only is he there as a coach, but he’s the president of both minor ball and minor hockey in the town.

He started coaching baseball and hockey

As the president of minor ball and minor hockey, he’s busy with sports throughout the year. Once he’s finished with hockey, he gets about a month off before he shifts into minor ball.

After ball season is done, there isn’t much of a reprieve before hockey starts again.

He also coached soccer for a couple of years when coaches were needed.

Gallagher said the number of kids in sports in Kipling continues to grow. They’ve had really good participation in both sports for eight to 10 years.

“It’s nice to see that kids are still coming out and wanting to play sports, and lots of people are stepping up to help out and coach. That’s the biggest highlight if you can keep the program successful and keep it running,” he said.

New shop has made a difference for RM of Moose Creek

The construction of a new shop has made a world of difference for the Rural Municipality of Moose Creek.

Sentura Freitag, who is the chief administrative officer for the RM, said the land for the shop was purchased in 2017, with the intent of building a large shop that was not directly in the town but still within town limits. The shop, which encompasses 20,000 square feet, is located southwest of Alameda School.

“The first year, we did the necessary levelling, landscaping and piping in of water and sewer,” said Freitag. “The second year we built the shell of the shop and poured the foundation. The third year the shop was completed.”

The shop is used for

the RM’s public works department. As there is quite a large yard site, they can keep gravel and culverts there as well.

“Prior to this shop being built, the RM owned two smaller, much older shops that would have needed repairs,” said Freitag. “The size of our fleet indicated that a much bigger building was necessary. The two smaller older shops were sold by auction.”

Kirk Brooks, who is the foreman for the RM, said they can have their equipment all inside, which is particularly beneficial during the winter months.

“Everything is warm and ready to go,” he said.

“It’s big enough; we can put a piece of equipment in the one corner when we

do our mechanical work.”

With the former locations, they had to hurry up with repairs.

The staff members love the shop as well, Brooks said.

In the winter, there are three graders, two tractors, three semis, two pickup trucks and a onetonne truck inside. There is also an office and a large meeting room where the staff can take courses.

Freitag noted the shop has carried a big benefit for the people of Alameda. The large graders, tractors and gravel trucks no longer have to travel down a main road in town. It has also been a great benefit during the winter months that the equipment can remain indoors.

Reeve Kelvin Lu-

edtke, who has been the reeve for one year and on council for five, said the building has a steel beam construction that will last for many generations.

“It’s definitely a building that we’re very proud of, and it’s a great asset for the RM and the ratepayers,” said Freitag.

Since the building is so big, the equipment can be serviced and main-

tained to be ready to go for the next day.

It has a truck wash facility inside, so the equipment can be cleaned when it gets muddied up.

The RM council visited other large buildings within an 80-kiloemtre radius, and received suggestions on the best size and type of building to construct, which Luedtke said was very helpful.

“We planned it very carefully, and it was stated many times within our council, we’re going to try our best to do it right, and not look back and say ‘I wish we’d done this,’ or ‘I wish we’d done that.’”

A grand opening was to be held later this month, but has been postponed, and the RM hopes the open house can happen next spring.

Carlyle town council meeting highlights

Submitted by Natalie Miller

Carlyle town council held its first meeting of the month on Oct. 6.

Cannington MLA Daryl Harrison spoke at the meeting. While in attendance, he provided an update on current government happenings and council members had the opportunity to ask questions.

Recreation continues to be a topic at the forefront of the agenda; at this meeting, coun-

cil ratified the hiring of recreation facility operators to join the newly formed parks and recreation department.

The recreation facility building condition assessments reports completed by WSP Engineering this summer are starting to arrive, they will be reviewed for maintenance items and capital budget planning for 2022.

The Cornerstone Family and Youth Centre will be expanding its operations in the Car-

lyle Civic Centre building in the near future.

Council approved a renovation and flooring upgrade to the space to prepare for their arrival.

Council would like to remind Carlyle residents that there will be a free day at the transfer station on Oct. 16 from 1-4 p.m. This a great opportunity to remove any debris from your yard before winter settles in.

The next regular meeting of council will be held on Oct. 20.

Circle of Caring and Support for women with breast cancer

By Laura Kish “You have cancer.”

That’s a phrase from your doctor that stops you in your tracks. You’re so stunned that all of your questions you were going to ask go out the window.

You sit there blank.

Two local women heard those very words.

Vivian MacDougall of Langbank and Lois Brickley of Kennedy were both diagnosed with breast cancer.

You have many questions: Where do I go from here? What happens next? How do I deal with

this? Who can I talk to?

Where do I go for support?

There’s a support group out there that just might be able to help you cope.

Circle of Caring and Support for Women with Cancer is for women of any age, diagnosed with any type of cancer, to give and receive support.

Their motto is “We’re here because we’ve been there.”

MacDougall, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014, originally spearheaded a support group in Kipling

fengché

but it didn’t go over as well as she had hoped.

“I felt that there was still a need in the rural community to have some cancer support just because if you go to the city and you don’t necessarily fall into the treatment plans or you don’t meet the right people you don’t get all the information that you should or all the avenues that could make life better.

“So I thought I’d try to start up a group in Moosomin.”

MacDougall had the vision to start the support group and Lois Brickley agreed to help out because she’d been to all the other meetings when they

first began this group in Kipling.

They started up the group in Moosomin in 2017.

“We’ve been going strong for the past four years with meetings once a month,” says MacDougall. “We’ve had 25 to 30 ladies who have come some don’t come to every meeting and some come for a while then move on.

That’s really what support is all about. When you need it, it should be there for you. They are good support to the newcomers in the group.”

They commented that it was really difficult during COVID. They didn’t meet for quite a

There’s a support group to help women dealing with cancer. Internet photo while last year and then started up again last fall.

Although they couldn’t get together as a group, a lot of the women in Moo-

somin still supported one another through phone calls.

quite comfortable about opening up and sharing their emotions and experiences after they have been diagnosed with cancer.

“On the other hand some women are overwhelmed by their diagnosis and just aren’t quite ready to share that news,” says MacDougall.

To all the women out there, you don’t have to wait until you’re going for treatments to be a part of this group. Feel free to come to a meeting to find out information even if it’s only been a week since you’ve been diagnosed. The other members are more than happy to lend an ear and a shoulder to lean on and share their experiences.

“Sometimes it’s hard to know what to say to tell people you have cancer. For me, luckily, my husband did that for me.”

A person tends to worry about the other person’s reactions.

“It’s such an individual thing on how you go about telling people.”

“The experiences with treatments or aftertreatment medication is so different with each person.”

Brickley says it seems like a lifetime ago that she dealt with breast cancer.

“There’s always a possibility that cancer could come back but because I don’t have aches and pains I think I’m okay. There’s no pain so I don’t think about the cancer coming back.”

port systems out there.”

That was one of the reasons that MacDougall thought a group would be invaluable and beneficial in providing that information.

Through speaking with some people at the Canadian Cancer Society, they shared with her that there were workshops for leaders for breast cancer groups, and so she made a trip out to Calgary and attended one and invited Brickley along to attend the second one.

“It’s an excellent training course that we attended in May 2017. I think it’s been very rewarding to see how a group can be supportive for everyone.”

Brickley relays some of the experiences that she went through as well:

E·

breast cancer: “I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014. In May of that year I first went to one of the mammogram buses that were travelling out to the rural communities and from there was sent to Regina in June for further assessment and had my surgery in August.”

MacDougall remembers being very reluctant to tell anyone.

“I had surgery but didn’t have to take treatments.”

“If that’s the route you get to take, you don’t go to the Allan Blair and find out a lot of things because you aren’t part of that program so you miss out and don’t necessarily get all the information that you could.

I found out that living in rural Saskatchewan there aren’t a lot of sup-

« A12 very caring people in the group, they make a phone call or a visit and encourage recently diagnosed women to join the group.” Caregivers, spouses and family members may also need support but Brickley explains: “Our group focuses on the person who has the diagnosis and our group is for women with any cancer diagnosis.”

There has been mention of that idea of welcoming spouses or caregivers to the support meetings, although on the other hand, it may be more difficult for women to open up about their experience and emotions they are going through.

Sometimes the discussions are very private.

There’s strength in cooperation Cooperation is not just a concept taught in daycare; it’s a philosophy that has helped to build our country. In fact, cooperation continues to play an important role in Canadian society. We’re not just talking about cooperation between individual people, but also cooperative businesses that strive to ensure stronger communities and more equitable distribution of wealth. In fact, the cooperative formula has proven its effectiveness in all areas of development, both in rural as well as in urban settings.

Today, co-ops can be found in Canada from one coast to the

other, working to serve the needs of their members. These co-ops provide vital products and services and are solidly rooted in our communities.

What makes co-ops so unique and effective is that they strive to improve the economic, social and cultural development of our communities. Prosperous co-ops may choose to return a portion of their earnings to their members or support collective projects. The community involvement of co-ops can be felt in all areas of activity—from arts and culture to economic development—from education and environment

to sports and recreation. Humanitarian efforts, health and community services all benefit from the support of co-ops.

To help Canadians better understand how the cooperative system benefits everyone, October 17 to 23 is National Cooperative Week. During this time, everyone is encouraged to adopt a philosophy of cooperation and learn more about the variety of products and services offered by Canadian co-ops. This week will also inform members of cooperatives about the various roles they can play within their own coop.

2021: Embracing the future with co-operation The Co-op Week takes place from October 17 to 23, 2021.

Every year, co-operatives, and the people behind them, celebrate the co-operative movement and values in Canada.

Co-operatives and Mutuals Canada (CMC) wishes to spread the word: Cooperation is the solution to building a better, more prosperous, and united future,

with a perspective on sustainable development and inspired by our cooperative values.

Therefore, the theme in 2021 is: Embracing the future with co–operation The chosen theme is meant to doubly qualify the collective future that we want: Gathering, which connects us to each other; and that looks like the community in which the co-operative evolves.

What you should know about Canada’s co-ops Co-op Week, celebrated this year from October 17 to 23, is truly a Canadian tradition. The values of co-operation and community development are part of our national identity, and our country has over 9,000 co-operatives operating in various sectors.

What’s more, 83 per cent of Canadians report that they prefer purchasing goods and services

from co-ops over traditional businesses. Here’s what you should know about them.

THEY FOSTER ECONOMIC STABILITY Co-operatives tend to be much more stable than traditional companies. A 2011 report by the B.C.-Alberta Social Economy Research Alliance found that the three-year survival rate for co-operatives in Alberta was 81 per cent, compared with 48 per cent for traditional enterprises.

Long-term survival allows co-ops to grow along with their communities and to adapt to the changing needs of their members.

Thrift sale for the Dickens Village Festival Submitted by Gord Paulley

This past week, the Dickens Committee hosted a successful thrift sale in the Carlyle Memorial Hall.

The Observer spoke with eight-year veteran Sandra Dyer upon completion of the event.

“Despite not having a thrift sale since October 2019, we ran a very successful fourday fundraiser. It takes

a lot of manpower to put on this event and I wish to thank the 30 or so volunteers that helped.

A number of factors contributed to the slight decrease of attendance from previous years.

“The museum board decided it was in their best interest not to proceed with their noon lunch and the new COVID restrictions that went into effect October 1st were

also a deterrent.

Co-chairperson Dolores Young was also pleased with the results.

“We had a great sale and I also wish to thank all volunteers that manned the front desk and took in the proceeds and also all floor volunteers. Many hands made for light work.”

Proceeds from the Dickens Thrift Sale go towards the advertising and promotion of

the Dickens Village Festival, held annually in Carlyle the first weekend in December.

At this time it is not known whether the event will take place on Dec. 3 or 4, but it has been announced that the Cornerstone Theatre Group is having a production that weekend. Stay tuned for further details in both the Observer and the Carlyle’s Dickens Village Festival Facebook page.

Alida news - hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving Submitted by Edel Cowan Sincere sympathy is extended to the Lemieux family on the passing of their Uncle Edgar Manz of Regina on Sept. 30.

Edgar is survived by his wife Aimee (Wilcott), children Ingrid (Stacy) Barr, Ruben (Katherine Cheah) and four grandchildren, as well as numerous nephews and nieces. A funeral service was held October 6 at Mount Olive Lutheran Church in Regina with

interment in Riverside Memorial Park. Attending the funeral from Alida were Jaye and Teresa Lemieux.

The Alida community extends sincere sympathy to Linda and Don Akins on the death of her mother Seraphine Rogg of Redvers on Oct. 7 at the age of 93 years at the Moosomin Hospital. She is survived by her daughter Linda (Don), son Paul (Elaine), five grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild.

Funeral

mass was held Oct. 13 at Redvers Roman Catholic Church with interment at Redvers Town Cemetery.

Visiting with Gary and Brenda Junk over the Thanksgiving long weekend were Kara Junk and her daughter Morgan of Sylvan Lake, Alta.

They also visited with Jason, April Junk and family.

Jeff Cowan visited with his parents Gray and Edel, brother, Tim, Shelly and Ainsley and also spent some time with Grant and Jenny

on Oct. 9 and 10. Jeff enjoyed a Thanksgiving dinner with his parents before heading to Alameda to spend time visiting the Markoski family.

Thanksgiving supper on Oct. 10 was enjoyed

by Kelsey Rydberg, Lacie Nilsen (both of Estevan), Gray and Edel Cowan at the home of Tim, Shelly and Ainsley Cowan.

The Alida Haunted House is now all set to go – everything is in place and all ghosts, witches, ghouls, insects etc. have all arrived and taken up

residence at the rink. The Murder Mystery Room is just about set to go as well. Hope you’ll all remember to come and pay us a visit, if you dare. But also please remember that one must show proof of being fully vaccinated, and of course wear a mask to be able to attend.

All of our spooks have been vaccinated and are wearing a mask as well.

The Haunted House is much bigger and scarier than ever before. There are approximately 20 rooms and tunnels to ex-

plore which consists of a spider-room, a snake room, a bat room, a kitchen, a torcher-room, a child’s/doll’s room with a live dancing doll, a clown room, a haunted theater, a morgue, a jail, a haunted schoolroom, a wedding chapel, a haunted forest and a cemetery, among others. You’ll just have to come and check it all out.

Alida’s take-out fall supper, which is happening on Nov. 7 from Alida Hall. Pre-order and prepay for supper by Nov. 1.

vice company is based out of Calgary,” he said. “They have been contracted by Saskatchewan Power to prune and remove tree limbs and branches that may interfere with their power lines in local communities. Here in Manor, we have over 200 trees that require removal or trimming. Our company only hires qualified utility arborists to work around power lines.”

Saindon also added, “It is very important to stay at least three metres away from all power lines unless you are an SPC (SaskPower Corporation) lineman or utility arborist.

If you have tree branches less than a meter away from a line, please contact SaskPower.”

During the interview it was also learned that residents had the option to fully remove any trees

from their property instead of pruning. Those trees have been labelled with a blue dot. In addition, the mulched wood chips are hauled to farmer’s fields which provides natural recycling. Crews have been in the Carlyle area for nearly three weeks now and they have a lot of work lined up in many other towns and villages in southeast Saskatchewan.

Farmers are encouraged to soil test, soil test and soil test

By Laura Kish The harvest of 2021 has wrapped up for most.

And now farmers have already started to think about next year’s crops.

One of the first things on their list is to purchase their fertilizer for next year.

Fertilizer helps the farmers improve their production by restoring nutrients to the soil which makes their fields more productive.

In addition to liquid and granulated fertilizers, there are also bulk prescription blends mixed to specific requirements using specialized computer software.

What will growers need to optimize their yields and returns?

It’s wonderful that the price of wheat is up but then so are the expenses, in particular the fertilizer.

Some farmers have made the comment: “At these prices, I may not even put a crop in.”

The country could be in dire straits if that scenario happens.

“Farmers are farmers,” comments Ken Panchuk, provincial

soil specialist. “They’re going to put the crop in.”

“The main thing that they’re looking at right now is ‘Are we going to get sufficient moisture this fall and snowfall in the winter with spring melt and spring rains before seeding?’ That will be the deciding point.”

The cost of fertilizer has gone up compared to past years.

“At this time of year, it’s more the logistics rather than it is availability,” explains Panchuk. “It’s not a shortage, but because everyone is coming out of COVID and finishing up harvest, the truckers are busy, the question then becomes ‘is the logistics to be able to get the product in position?’”

Farmers may be already doing their crop planning for next year so wish to purchase their fertilizer early.

Fertilizer prices are up significantly and where it’s going to stop is difficult to determine at this point in time.

“Right now the key would be to get a representative sample of your fields and send it off to get a soil test and

analysis back during an appropriate time,” says Panchuk.

“Right now the soil has not cooled below 10 degrees yet so those producers who have been soil testing already, perhaps the suggestion would be to check again once the soils have cooled significantly, and also maybe the other window of opportunity is to check those fields again in the early spring to see how much nitrogen is left in the profile depth, which is two feet deep for the upcoming crop.”

“The key point is getting a representative sample drawn from your fields or benchmark sampling and having your soil test analysis done on more fields this fall than you would normally do,” suggests Panchuk.

“The reason is we had a smaller than average crop and dry conditions so we know there’s going to be lots of nutrients left in the field.”

“The nutrients don’t disappear, however, if we get very wet conditions in the spring there will be some losses.”

Many farmers will speak for their fertilizer now and communicate with the dealers to see what their needs are.

However, the catch here is that it rained in August and there was enough rain to cause volunteers in the field and also regrowth on canola.”

“Within the next week or so will be an ideal time to do soil tests as the temperatures are forecasted to hit below 10 degrees.”

“A strategy that many farmers use every year is to do their soil testing before purchasing fertilizer,” says Panchuk.

“Many farmers will speak for their fertilizer now and communicate with the dealers to see what their needs are.”

Each field may be a little different as to the amount of fertilizer each will require.

“Although farmers may have paid an attractive price for their fertilizer last year, the price increase started already in January 2021.”

“There was talk in the marketplace about shortage of grains and oilseeds appearing in

the world and as a result of that all the commodities started increasing in price early this year.”

“Fertilizer and other commodities trade at world prices. It’s not like it was 30 years ago where you paid a certain price for your fertilizer in the fall and that price stuck around until spring,” says Panchuk. “That doesn’t happen anymore.”

So many things impact the cost of fertilizer prices.

The world market – what’s happening in China and Europe. A hurricane in Florida caused a temporary shutdown of a plant and delay of shipments.

Because of COVID not all plants are running at peak efficiency right now and also there’s high natural gas prices in some parts of the world.

“The main concern around the province right now is the moisture.”

“Many of the producers have realized the important thing about nutrients for next year is knowing what you’ve got in the soil and then balancing that with the amount you need to purchase is the cure for next year.”

“Soil test in the spring, especially for nitrogen. The phosphorous levels don’t change

very much year by year.

The same goes for potassium but sulphur is all over the map,” explains Panchuk.

“The main thing to do is soil test, soil test, soil test,” stresses Panchuk “So we have that tool and it’s a piece of information that is extremely valuable because we had such a dry year and a lower yielding crop.

We know there’s lot of nutrients left there and we need to know how much of that is left so we can replace the nutrients we need for a realistic target yield in the spring.”

A lot of the farmers are frustrated … will there be a good crop, will they get the moisture at the right time, is the crop going to get wiped out by grasshoppers or gale-force winds and then get hit with skyrocketing expenses, which just adds to their frustration.

“Being an agronomist and agrologist, it adds frustration for all of us, not just the producers,” says Panchuk.

“We’re all in this business together.”

“Right now it’s just the beginning of the volatility so you’re going to have to watch and talk to your input dealers frequently and purchase once you find the price that you can live with.”
