The Other Side TV crew visits Alameda museum in search of spirits, and their findings are fascinating

By Ana Bykhovskaia The Other Side, a TV show on APTN, recently visited Alameda to explore the local museum for any signs of ghosts or other kinds of paranormal activity.

Jeff Richards and his team spent four days researching and shooting in Alameda in preparation for the new season of The Other Side. In an interview with the Observer on Thursday, which was not only their last day shooting in Alameda, but also their last day of shooting for the entire eighth season, Richards said that their experience in Alameda was "pretty amazing."

"There's a lot of history here. And the location that we're investigating certainly seems to be the roots of that history, whether it be some of the artifacts or just the sheer amount of people who've moved through the space because it is a former medical centre. It's a former hospital. It ran as a

hospital for several years, and now it's the museum," Richards said.

Len Moncrief, Alameda and District Heritage Museum board chair, said the museum depicts a house the way it would look in the early 1900s.

Besides, it carries numerous paintings from local artists and things that people have donated.

The house itself was built in 1908 and is sitting at its original location, but its inhabitants changed many times.

Richards said not only have they picked up a lot of activity in the museum, but they also had a lot of community members sharing their experiences, which made their time at Alameda memorable.

Moncrief said that he heard many similar stories, and one person who lived in the house for two years saw a fireball coming down a set of stairs.

The Other Side research team came across the museum when look-

ing for Saskatchewan haunted stories in preparation for the new season.

Coming to Alameda they already knew that the museum carries the type of history and the type of experiences they seek for the show. But what they found exceeded their expectations.

"Over the course of my time with the program, I've been a part of over 214 investigations.

And I can honestly say that I've never experienced anything quite like what we experienced in Alameda," Richards said.

"It does seem that the building itself at the museum holds some sort of a, I don't want to call it a portal, it's more like a doorway or window through which the spirit does seem to travel, they seem to come through.

The logic behind that, and that's sort of my theory, is that when you have a space like this building, which does have a medical office upstairs essentially, it’s where numer-

Host of The Other Side Jeff Richard said they had a great time filming and staying in Alameda and Carlyle. Photo courtesy of Murray McDonald ous people throughout the town's history passed away, numerous people were born, some recovered from very bad illnesses, or were treated for various conditions.

So you have a space that's really like an intersection of life and death. And I believe that that's why it's so active. I think that spirit is attracted to that

energy. And I think they come through, and they find the museum is sort of like a home, that they come through in the way that spirit does, and they tend to take up residence there," Richards explained.

He added that the museum is also filled with hundreds of artifacts, which have been touched

by people from various walks of life in various parts of the community.

These artifacts all carry unique energy and unique attachment, which also results in paranormal activity in the building.

"It is a very active location. It's very haunted.

And we've certainly had an incredible time here," A2 » RICHARDS

Richards: Stories carried by the museum are real « A1 Richards said.

While filming for season 8 of The Other Side is now complete, the premiere date has yet to be announced as a lot of work still needs to be done. It’s not known where in the season the Alameda Museum episode will be aired.

“My assumption is, given the previous history, that this episode will be airing in October of 2022,” Richards said.

MoncriefsaidthevisitfromTheOtherSide resulted in a lot of activity within the community as well and hopefully will attract more visitors to the museum, as it does keep a lot of history of the area.

“Everybody wants to know what’s going on at the museum,” Moncrief said.

Despite the age of the building, the museum that opened in 1990 has been well-maintained. The only thing they need to upgrade is the windows.

Moncrief said that the shooting crew provided them with some money, and they hope the show will attract attention and donations, so they eventually will be able to get the job done to keep

preserving local history for generations to come.

Richards reminds people that no matter what people believe in, the stories carried by the museum are real.

“The one thing that I would really like for everybody to understand is that these stories and the work that we do, it’s very, very real. This is a part of history. This is a part of the local fabric that’s been woven. So whether we’re talking about spirits or the attempts to communicate with spirits, something that everybody should embrace and just understand that spirit is around us and whether we believe in them or not, they’re still there and it’s up to us to sometimes have an open mind and reach out,” Richards said.

The museum doesn’t have regular hours. Anyone willing to check out the collection or see if they can feel anything inside the 110-year-old building can contact Moncrief or other board members to arrange a visit. The house that hosts the Alameda Museum was built over 100 years ago and Admission is by donation. has a rich history. Photo courtesy of Len Moncrief

New owners for Carlyle FamilyFoods happy to be here Submitted by Gord Paulley Effective Nov. 15, Chang and Julie Yoo will become the new owners of Carlyle FamilyFoods. The Observer had the opportunity to meet the newcomers in person and have provided some background.

The Yoos were born and raised in South Korea and moved to Saskatoon in 2008. Starting in 2009, they owned and operated a franchise for The Great Canadian Bagel for 5 1/2 years. They then purchased a grocery store

located in Hague, just north of Saskatoon.

This spring, they sold that business and have been on the lookout for other opportunities.

An offer to purchase the Carlyle FamilyFoods grocery store was accepted and they are eagerly looking forward to this new challenge.

Chang, who is 53, and Julie, 47, have already purchased a home in Carlyle on Fourth Street East.

They have one child, Elly, who has just graduated from high school and is now attending the University

of Toronto.

Julie was working at a company which specializes in costume design in South Korea.

At this time, the Yoos have no plans to change any facets of the business. Their entire staff of 15-16 people will remain intact, as will their weekly flyer and regular hours of business. The Yoos are excited to start this new chapter in their lives and look forward to meeting all of their customers.

Their slogan is “I Love Local!” and Carlyle and the surrounding area wishes them well.

Women On the Go Tours support businesses Submitted by Gord Paulley During the months of November and December, one often sees a busload of women stopping in Carlyle to do some shopping. The Observer recently caught up with the owner of the tour, Cheryl Hughes.

Said Hughes: “Women On the Go Tours came about as a result of a persistent friend and a visionary group of business women. A group of likeminded women on a road shopping excursion came up with the idea of a bus trip to various rural communities for a unique shopping experience. They invited neighbouring communities to join them, paired it with the annual Dicken’s Winter Festival in Carlyle, and before you knew it, their annual shopping tour,

the Pink Scarf Express, became a regular event.”

“As the response to this Christmas shopping extravaganza grew, they recognized that they needed someone to co-ordinate this project. My friend, Marie Anne Fournier from sisters in Montmartre, knew that I was looking for a new challenge. She approached me to take this on with a view to turning it into a year-round business. I turned her down not once but twice before realizing what an incredible opportunity this was.

“I took on the Pink Scarf Express 2012. Women on the Go Tours was born, and we never looked back.”

Based out of Regina, Women on the Go offers day trips geared towards women interested in experiencing rural Saskatchewan at its finest. Since inception, they have

wined and dined, shopped till they dropped, rode the rails, rode the trails, explored and experienced breathtaking scenery, quilt shop hopped, river cruised, and discovered old, new, unique, and fascinating areas of Saskatchewan.

Hughes is proud to be the owner-operator of Women On the Go and the tours are usually sold out just days after being posted. She was awarded the Fred Heal Ambassador Award in 2015 from Tourism Saskatchewan. This November, trips are also scheduled to Montmartre, Kipling and Grenfell. The bus travels to Carlyle on Nov. 26.

Added Hughes, “Carlyle is such a great community with a lot of retail businesses.

I sure hope to see you there.”

Stop in for a bite at the new Stought’s Eatery

By Laura Kish

Whether you’re poppin’ in for a quick lunch with friends or out for an elegant evening meal with your better half, Stought’s Eatery is the place to be.

Coy Delorme is sole owner and head chef at Stought’s Eatery, which opened this summer in Stoughton.

He says the idea of owning a restaurant wasn’t necessarily in his plans but circumstances led him to southeast Saskatchewan, in particular to Stoughton.

“It’s every chef’s dream to do so,” says Delorme, explaining the idea of owning his own restaurant. “It’s a neat experience.”

“I was approached to come on board with a team who had the idea of the project, and they needed a chef.”

Delorme moved from Saskatoon to Stoughton specifically to run the restaurant as head chef. He decided on the name Stought’s Eatery because he somehow wanted to include the town’s name to be more meaningful to the locals.

“It’s truly their restaurant,” says Delorme.

Other than being the head chef and sole owner of the restaurant, Delo-

rme says he does have a great team behind him who saw his vision.

Delorme has had a lot of experience as a chef. He worked at Dakota Dunes Casino for the past nine years, eventually becoming head chef.

He did the hotel circuit.

He also worked for a few independent restaurants and steakhouses, as well as working in the education sector.

Delorme says he doesn’t particularly have a ‘specialty’ in his repertoire of recipes.

“Honestly, it’s all over the map.”

“When I cook, I like to use natural flavours…

I don’t like to mask the products too much. I like to pair things that naturally go together.”

But of course there is a lot of experimentation as well.

“You’re always learning…always learning.”

Delorme may sometimes create those ‘out there’ dishes but explains that he started with comfort food.

That is the gist of this restaurant…is the comfort food.

“I want people to feel like they’re out and about but yet still have the flavours of that homecooked meal.”

Since the opening of the restaurant, Delorme

has heard a lot of positive comments.

“I think we’re on the right track,” says Delorme. “We’re going in the right direction.”

“Unfortunately the COVID restrictions are holding us back somewhat.”

It’s tough to make the decision to open a restaurant but COVID

has made it that much tougher.

Delorme welcomes everyone to stop in for a bite to eat at Stought’s Eatery, regardless of whether you come in work boots or suit and tie.

Delorme also has plans of changing up his menu to suit the season.

“In the future I’m

looking at doing some daily features,” explains Delorme. “There’s a lot of options.”

You can take the chef out of the kitchen but when you do, he’s still thinking about new recipes to add to his menu on his time away from the restaurant.

Delorme has intentions in the near future

NEW WINTER HOURS: OPEN DAILY 11 AM - 8 PM CLOSED TUESDAYS

of searching out local vendors to bring in local produce and such.

Stought’s Eatery has new winter hours, being open six days a week from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., with the restaurant being closed on Tuesdays.

The Christmas season is near and the restaurant is open for Christmas bookings.

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

Government needs to learn from lessons

By Murray Mandryk We all get by now that living with COVID-19 will likely mean living with occasional waves and spikes.

We all likely get that means we just can’t shut down the entire economy.

It would be almost impossible not to understand this point by now because this is what the government has been hammering home for months now.

This might not be what some of the less reasonable want to hear, but it only makes sense that we can’t perpetually lockdown the entire province. Even those provinces that have had more COVID-19 success — either recently or throughout this pandemic — haven’t done that. But here’s the critical point: very, very few people are seriously advocating lockdowns of any sort — not even the medical health officers (MHOs) and other doctors who have twice written to Health Minister Paul Merriman and Premier Scott Moe advocating for more stringent measures.

In fact, the last letter from the MHOs makes a point of saying this is precisely what they are not advocating. Even the notion that the government has been spinning (and largely attributing to NDP Opposition leader Ryan Meili) that the MHOs are advocating strict no-in-class school attendance for eligible, non-vaccinated children desperately needs to be put in perspective. For starters, while the MHO letter does suggest there should vaccine requirements for children attending class, the wording is far less than the government is portraying.

In a reasonable world far removed politics, this could be policy because it is not unreasonable to ask for children to be vaccinated to attend schools. Most other provinces — even ones with conservative governments — do have policies requiring school-age children to be inoculated from mumps, measles and chicken pox before going to class and putting other kids at risk.

The notion we keep hearing from Moe and now Education Minister Dustin Duncan that the NDP would eagerly ban 27,000 unvaccinated kids from getting an education is pretty much political hyperbole.

As was the case with the surge in vaccinations when this government finally got behind the notion in September of needing vaccine passports to attend public events, it’s more than likely that many procrastinating parents would simply see self-interested benefit of vaccinations.

But the problem all along — and especially since the re-opening of the province on July 11 — is that this government has thought it could skate by doing as little as possible. Or at the very least, this has been a government terrified of offending those largely on the political right that advocate freedom.

And while it’s spun the notion that it has simply and carefully followed the expertise of the MHOs and Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab, we clearly know that just hasn’t been case.

That was already evident in the CMO letters made public at the time. It’s now evident in previously undisclosed documents.

The documents obtained show Merriman and this government were repeatedly warned about the “high likelihood” of a record-setting COVID-19 fall surge if more stringent measures weren’t taken.

The modelling that was wholeheartedly endorsed

by Shahab was that the Delta variant would rapidly spread among the unvaccinated, flooding ICUs and potentially causing record deaths.

Reinstating mandatory mask-wearing (lifted July 11 when the province reached its goal of 70 per cent having at least one dose) would have reduced cases by 50 per cent, an August modelling document showed.

Following the best science is also practical, common sense.

It appears government needs to practise that as much as anyone else.

It cost too much to be casual

Shelley Luedtke A morning to sleep in. A chance to get caught up on things around the house. A day away from the office. Is that all it has come to mean?

There are several dates on the calendar marked as days of commemoration; days to ponder something of religious or cultural significance; something of great importance that is worthy of a day of note. It’s easy to get frustrated by the casual way these days are sometimes treated; characterized as just a day off – and a less than convenient one at that, if it doesn’t dovetail nicely into an extended weekend.

I often wonder why we continue to get a holiday for a commemoration that means little or nothing to some people. They are not holidays as such, but days to mark something significant. Yet

many seem to forget that and treat it as simply a day off, doing little to mark the reason why.

I took a class called war, peace and revolution to fulfill a history requirement in university. The reading list was rather extensive and included books detailing our nation’s history of warfare, one of which was an examination of Canada’s involvement in the battle of Somme.

This First World War battle was fought over several months and was one of the bloodiest in all of human history. Canadians were involved in the final three months where more than 24,000 young lives were lost from this country alone. The First Newfoundland Regiment was devastated here.

The regiment (whose numbers were counted separately since this was prior to Newfoundland becoming a Canadian province) sent 801 members into the battle and less than half an hour later hundreds were killed instantly or injured so badly they died throughout the night on the battlefield.

The next morning only 68 of the 801 answered the roll call.

Heart of the Moose Mountains

Of all the readings and discussion we had on different wars, the price of peace and the impact of revolution in that class, these accounts stood out to me.

When I had the chance to visit the National World War 1 Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, I was particularly drawn to exhibits detailing this battle.

The horrors these soldiers experienced makes one want to turn away, stop reading, close our eyes to the images, and shut it out.

Of course we have that option. They did not.

I was reading through a section called Honouring Our Veterans in last week’s issue of The Outlook and was struck by what young soldiers with connections to my area faced in war. Clifford Morton Grindle was killed in the First World War at the age of 22. John Bertram Tucker was mortally wounded after taking gunshot wounds to both legs, his wrists and hands.

Then there is Herbert Thomas Harris. He enlisted at the age of 18 and just 13 months later was killed in a battle that was part of the Somme Offensive. At the age of 18, I was in university taking classes in comfortable lecture theatres

and complaining about the amount of reading I was required to do and the number of papers I had to write. For me, the battle of Somme was an object of study.

For him it was real life.

Well actually, it was death. His body was never recovered.

Not all were called to serve, but there were husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, and sons and daughters that were. Not all made the ultimate sacrifice, but many did. Not all came back with wounds, but countless did — whether visible or not. Not all developed trench foot from fighting in cold, wet conditions without benefit of dry socks or extra boots but our soldiers did. Not all are asked to live on tinned rations and hard biscuits but many had no choice but to do so.

So much was asked of so many. So little is asked of the rest of us. It’s why we cannot treat Remembrance Day casually, because it’s not too many steps away from devolving into treating it callously. It cost too many too much to let that happen.

We are not asked for much.

No, not all are called to serve, but all are called to remember. That’s my outlook.

No fee increases at Carlyle Golf Club for 2022

By Gord Paulley

The Carlyle Golf Club recently held its final board meeting of the season and announced that all fees for 2022 will remain unchanged.

“While the golf course had a great year in

2020, 2021 was even better,” said president Steve Hirtle. “Season memberships, walk-on green fees, cart rentals, beer and liquor sales, all revenue sources were substantially higher. Steve Polsom, Kal Harper and the grounds crew kept the

course in excellent shape and for the most part we enjoyed great weather.

“We also began golfing a month earlier than normal and had a fantastic start to 2021. Clubhouse manager Terri Field did a great job as did the entire clubhouse

staff. Both Steve and Terri have advised that nearly all their staff, including themselves, are returning for 2022. And, of course, we want to thank our members for their loyal support of the Carlyle Golf Club.”

The golf club and its board had an aggressive spending plan in 2021 and after renovating the clubhouse last winter, also rebuilt the clubhouse deck and added a patio.

A 2020 Kubota tractor was also purchased and a new secondary water well was successfully drilled to provide the course with drought protection.

Hirtle advised that over $100,000 was spent, but no funds had to be redeemed from savings. Added Hirtle: “We have a strong core of high quality volunteers and a full allotment of board members. During the last two months of the year, there was a noticeable rise in hosting smaller tournaments and we expect this favourable trend to continue. As well, with our additional

The newly drilled water well is already paying dividends with the Carlyle Golf Club’s two dugouts brimming with water. Photo by Gord Paulley water source, we expect to be golfing year round on lush fairways in addition to playing on our beautifully manicured greens.”

Next year’s season ticket rates, including early-bird details, will be updated soon on the Carlyle Golf Club Facebook page.

For the entire month of November, the Movember campaign celebrates the moustache. Once again this year, thousands of Canadian men will follow in the footsteps of other men around the world as they grow a moustache in order to raise public awareness about men’s health.

Daryl Harrison

Member of the Legislative Assembly for Cannington Constituency

CanningtonConstituency@sasktel.net

Movember, a contraction of the words “moustache” and “November”, was founded in Australia in 2003. The funds raised support programs oriented toward men’s health issues. In Canada, the proceeds are directed to the Prostate Cancer Canada foundation in support of research into that illness, the most commonly occuring cancer in the Canadian male population.

Why the moustache? Because it gets people talking. It is, today, rather a novelty. The various styles of moustache arouse curiosity and surprise. They also give a proud wearer the opportunity to raise awareness among friends and family of how important it is for men to take charge of their own health. Both daring and stylish, the Movember campaign invites men to take action by dissipating prejudices about male health issues.

A man who allows his moustache to grow and who grooms it nicely right through November earns the status of “Mo Bro”.

Women can also actively support their male partners and friends by raising funds, thus becoming “Mo Sistas”.

What’s Happening in Agriculture.

Hilltop Cattle Co. Ltd. has a great history Submitted by Shelley Slykhuis

Hello, welcome to our farm. We have been farming together for over 40 years.

David started the dairy farm seven years before we were married.

During the summer of 2002, we sold the dairy portion of our farm. We currently run a cow-calf beef operation.

A beef operation seems to have specific jobs during the year. Usually in March, April and May, we are calving the bred heifers and cows. This includes making sure calves are sucking, filling out paperwork to record calving date and whether it’s a heifer or steer.

Shelley adds all this info to a larger chart that allows more information to be added like sicknesses, deaths or whether the animal has been sold.

From November to May, daily winter feeding chores are completed. Over the summer months, hay, silage and straw are made and brought home to the hay yard. Routine checks of all the pastures keep Brody busy.

On a pre-planned day in October, all calves are weaned and about 150 steer calves leave on semis. These calves were pre-sold on a T.E.A.M. online auction in early September for October delivery and payment. This year, these calves are headed to Quebec.

Also on weaning day, the replacement heifers and small calves are started on feed.

Any remaining calves are sold at an auction mart nearby. Definitely a busy day, resulting in replacement calves and the cows bawling for their mom/calf for a few days.

On a November day, we pregnancy check all cows and bred heifers. Open females are then sold at an auction mart.

Seems that a beef operation has more challenges than a dairy operation.

A year into our beef work, BSE hit and the market took quite a tum to low returns.

Over the years, we have had good years and lower return years. Therefore getting paid once a year can take its toll mentally, compared to a dairy operation, where you’re getting paying twice a month.

Thank goodness for an off

farm income/career.

As I reflect on our operation as a mom, I appreciate the involvement of our children and grandkids. Over the years, we have had help from our children on the busiest days (weaning and pregnancy checking). I must remember, kids can help if it is a Saturday since the kids have their own careers.

This year has seen us following through with our succession plan. Maturing and health issues have helped us move onto the next generation of farmers. Brody is farming fulltime and is now a director of Hilltop Cattle Co. Ltd. It has been very important having our accountant knowledgeable with succession planning.

As I conclude my story, I would like to remind one and all, that farming is comprised of many types of farming. We are so appreciative of our lifestyle - living on a large portion of land in the hills north of Carlyle, being our own boss and enjoying the fruits of our labour.

Take care and shop locally whenever possible.

Bringing the cows home with Russell Bayliss and Kathy Kyle Submitted by Gord Paulley

Russell Bayliss and Kathy Kyle are cattle ranchers and have a 500-plus cowcalf operation.

Their ranch is located 12 kilometres northwest of Carnduff. Every October

these ranchers have a series of old-fashioned cattle drives. Their livestock is moved by horseback from pastures located as far as 75 kilometres from home.

The move home usually happens in stages over seven days; this year, due to the drought an extra move day

was required.

Sixty-six different cowboys and cowgirls participated in the October cattle drives this year, from ages seven to 70. Bayliss and his 14-year-old son Morgan are the crew chiefs, with Kyle and 17-year-old daughter Jillian preparing the meals.

If you ate today

THANK A FARMER

Bayliss believes that bringing the cows home the old-fashioned way reduces their stress compared to trucking, and allows him to have a really good look at the condition of each of the cattle. Bayliss is encouraged to see the way that friendships and confidence grow as a re-

sult of the hours spent on the trail. He wants the riders to remember how it was done in the old days.

Alameda resident Dwayne Henderson participated in this year’s cattle drive and it was his first in 12 years.

Cattle roundup requires lots of co-operation « A10 “I absolutely had a blast,” he said, “but I was a little stiff and sore for a few days.”

Kathy, who is also an ordained United Church minister, is in charge of the meals and refreshments.

“Jillian and I bring out lunch in a very cool van one of the cowboys gave us, which was reclaimed from SGI. It was given to us decaled as the Bar MW Bayliss Chuckwagon.”

Their essential crew member is 66-year-old Sharon Hubbard, who drives the truck and trailer following the cowboys on every single chase. Russ remembers telling Sharon when she first took on this role 10 years ago, “I am in charge of the cows,

you are in charge of every cowboy, dog and horse behind me.”

He is happy and not surprised to report that Hubbard has never lost a dog or a child. She spends her trail days doling out refreshments, snacks, switching horses in and out of the trailer and visiting with all who join her in the truck for a rest or a warm up. Rounding out the crew, Kyle reflected that “We have older friends and relatives on the crew that move the trucks and trailers from the pastures to the end point. It is a multifaceted series of days.”

Kyle grew up in Saskatoon and never dreamed she would become a rancher.

But she did and she loves it.

Added her husband, “Cattle

and ranching is a great way to make a living.” A cattle roundup requires co-operation and teamwork and the youngsters really learn good lessons for life.

Their older daughter Gina, who is currently tackling theatre school in Victoria, B.C., was well prepared for the long hours, judging by the sun-up to sun-down days she spent on a horse while part of the chase crew.

It has given the family a lot of joy to see their life together and with their crew documented by local photographer Liz Griffin during the last two years. They are in the process of creating a coffee table book about ranching; it will feature Griffin’s amazing Russell Bayliss once again had an old-fashioned cattle drive photography. once again this year.

Poultry and rabbit show held at the Red Market Barn

By Laura Kish

Quack, quack here and a gobble, gobble there, and a cock-a-doodle-doo!

Those were the sounds from fluffy, furry and feathered friends at the Poultry and Rabbit Show, hosted by the Redvers Small Animal and Bird Sale Organization and Prairie Rabbit Club.

The weather was perfect for the Nov. 6 show, held at the Red Market Barn north of Kenosee Lake. The show is normally held in Redvers but because there are so many who come from a distance, they felt they needed to hold the show in close proximity to a hotel and since the hotel burned down in Redvers, the venue was changed.

It’s been nearly eight years since the organization’s inception, mainly having sales every year although this is the organization’s third show.

Rob McCulloch of Carnduff is the American Poultry Association (APA) rep for Saskatchewan, poultry director for Heritage Livestock Canada and now Sask. representative for American Rabbit Breeds Asso-

ciation (ARBA).

The Redvers Club has had upwards of 300 members in the past.

Many of the entries at this year’s show come from quite a distance but McCulloch says, “We’re hoping to improve the stock in the local area by having shows such as this.”

Organizers of the show were happy to see lots of spectators stopping in for a look around during the show just to see what it was all about.

Justin Robertson and Jack Robertson of J&K Call Ducks & East Indies of Amarandh, Man., won awards for both the show champion and reserve show champion.

Fallon Belisle of Antler won awards for both champion of show and reserve champion in the junior category.

The winners of the show will have their names engraved on a large trophy and will have bragging rights for the year.

The poultry judge, Ramona Trombley, drove out from Duncan, B.C. Her jacket was absolutely loaded up with various judging badges, including those from

various clubs she belongs to or badges from breed clubs. Trombley has been judging for the past 10 years and has judged shows as far away as Texas and has attended a number of shows in the Maritimes although not as a judge there.

There’s very few poultry judges in Canada – only 12 of them.

She started judging at 10 a.m. and continued throughout the day until mid-afternoon to inspect every bird entered in the show. Trombley goes on to explain: “I’ve been breeding poultry since I was five years old and showing since I was seven. I love chickens and I’ve always wanted to judge. It’s quite a process to become a judge. After three years I got my licence and received my American Ban-

bird, the judge looks for the proper shape, the right colour, missing

feathers, does it have specific disqualifications for A13 » PRAIRIE

Prairie Rabbit Club has members across Saskatchewan « A11 that breed. Each breed has specific qualities that she looks for.

Because we had a hotter summer than normal, there are birds molting unexpectedly.

“It’s great to see so many young kids working with the animals,” said Trombley.

“They’re excited about learning all about them.”

Crowds gathered around just to watch and learn how the judging was done.

“Birds show their best if they are cage trained,” explains Trombley. “That can take as little as one to two weeks to train them.”

“There were some exceptional looking birds here today,” comments Trombley of her observations as a judge.

The upper level in the Barn is where the rabbit show was held throughout the day.

The Prairie Rabbit Club is made up of a group of people who love the hobby of breeding and showing rabbits and wanted to form a group to keep the hobby alive and keep promoting the standard throughout Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

“There’s not many things you can do with a rabbit so taking them a show is a big thing,” says Pam Nichol.

“Purebred rabbits cost the same to feed as a regular rabbit so it’s kind of like a bonus of the hobby.”

The Prairie Rabbit Club is a fairly new-formed club only within the past few months so the members are very few.

“It’s a good place for enthusiasts to get together to share their stories and experiences,” says Nichol.

Some entries for the rabbit show came from as far away as Lucky Lake.

McCulloch smiles as he says “It’s almost an addiction,” when he talks about travelling such a distance to take part in these shows.

Out of over 120 rabbits of 16 different breeds entered in show, winners were: Best in show went to John Algabre of Preeceville with his New Zealand bunny. Reserve and show went to Brittney Kishka of Manitoba with her Holland lop bunny.

The Rabbit Club held a Silent Auction as well with proceeds going towards the club and towards next year’s show.

Rabbit judge was Stephen Hultholm of Edmonton, who has been judging rabbits for 10 years.

He has had his licence

with the American Rabbit Breeders Association for 10 years.

“I’ve been a member with the association for 20 years.”

Hultholm has raised many different breeds of rabbits himself over the years.

The best way to learn about all the different types of rabbits is raise them yourself.

Depending on the breed, of which there are 50 different breeds of rabbits, the judge is looking for coloring, body type, head, ears and ear lengths. Everything has a point system depending on the breed.

Depending on the breed, more points may go towards the fur while another breed the points may be more about the body type, ears or even their pose.

Hultholm has judged all across the States, mostly in the western states with the most recent judging on Vancouver Island.

The busier seasons for judging rabbits are in the spring and the fall.

The national convention is usually held in the fall. The last one held in Canada was in 1969 but typically they’re held in the States. The convention typically gets around 20,000 rabbits entered just

Fallon Belisle of Antler won awards for both champion of show and reserve champion in the junior category. Presenting the awards is Rob McCulloch. Photo by Laura Kish for the single show.

“It’s great judging at the smaller shows because we can interact with the spectators and take the time to teach the owners and answer any questions they may have.

It’s really great for the hobby…it brings it back to what it should be about. It’s all about improving those animals.”

“I like to teach people

and I like to learn myself.”

And that’s not all there was at The Red Barn. There was also a couple of other competitions to enter. Judging was done on quality of eggs including the density, weight and calcium in the egg and the size according to the breed. And then there was a decorated egg competition just for fun for both adults and youngsters.

The OIIP was introduced by the Ministry of Energy and Resources in 2020 and offers transferable oil and gas royalty/ freehold production tax credits, at a rate of 20 per cent of eligible costs, for qualified infrastructure projects that significantly increase provincial pipeline capacity.

"Today's announcement delivers on a key commitment made in our provincial CCUS priorities, announced in September, which will strengthen Saskatchewan's position as a global CCUS leader," Energy and Resources Minister Bronwyn Eyre said. "This will lead to significant investments in new energy projects that contribute to a strong, sustainable Saskatchewan, as the energy sector achieves its emissions goals."

approximately 82 per cent fewer net emissions than traditional oil and gas extraction methods.

Over the last 25 years, provincial EOR projects have sequestered more than 40 million tonnes of CO2 and resulted in over 100 million barrels of incremental oil production.

The Government of Saskatchewan anticipates that CCUS projects will attract provincial investment of more than $2 billion and sequester over two million tonnes of CO2 annually.

OIIP, when fully applied, will assist in generating a total investment impact of at least $500 million in new and expanded pipeline capacity in Saskatchewan, while allowing for further industry adoption of CCUS for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and CO2 deployment in EOR.

Kipling and District Arts Council presents folk artist

By Laura Kish

The Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils (OSAC), along with the Kipling & District Arts Council, proudly presented their first concert of the 2021-22 Stars for Saskatchewan series last Friday evening to a crowd of 100 people.

Award-winning singer-songwriter Martin Kerr, a folk artist from Edmonton, took the stage with accompaniment by Josh Sahunta on keyboard/ guitar.

Kerr’s style is contemporary folk music inspired by many of the folk revival artists of the 1970s, including Neil Young and Joni Mitchell.

“They had a real poetry to their lyrics. The melodies were moving and memorable,” explains Kerr, who emulates them in his style of music.

Although some of his later music has

leaned to the pop style, he says folk is where his heart is.

Kerr says he’s been singing for as long as he can remember.

“I just never stopped. I started playing guitar and writing songs when I was 13,” explains Kerr of his music career.

“And falling hopelessly in love with girls out of my league.”

Kerr says with a smile.

“That’s how most get started I think.”

“The inspiration for my early songs was from a lot of heartbreak but I’m happily married now for the past 16 years. Now I find other things to write about.”

Playing guitar was a great outlet for Kerr, putting his thoughts and feelings into songs and sharing them with people.

“I’ve always loved music.” says Kerr. “I had lots of opportunity when I was a kid to perform in choirs and plays. I’ve always loved

Performing Good Old Days at the Kipling & District Arts Council first show of the season was Martin Kerr on acoustic guitar and vocals accompanied by singer/songwriter Josh Sahunta on keyboard. Photo by Laura Kish being on stage.”

Born and raised in England, he eventually moved to Edmonton and married his sweetheart.

After his wife-tobe sent him a mixed tape, including the song Book of Love, he felt it was meant to be.

He started his career as a busker although he had bigger dreams.

He wanted to hear his songs on the radio and play at festivals, theatres and stadiums.

One day he auditioned for The Voice and although he didn’t make it, things did turn around shortly after that.

One by one all of his dreams started coming true.

Kerr has performed in various venues throughout his career thus far.

“I’ve done a bit of everything,” he explains.

He’s played in a lot of theatres, at the Edmonton and Vancouver Folk Festivals, and opened for Sarah McLachlan at Rogers Place in Edmonton in front of thousands of people. That was another dream come true for Kerr.

Performing with the Edmonton Sym-

phony Orchestra was also an incredible experience.

Kerr found a way to make the best of living through the pandemic.

Throughout COVID, Kerr has been performing mainly with street concerts he set up in the middle of the street, inviting everyone to listen from their front yards. He brought music to the communities one block at a time.

Whatever is happening in people’s lives they always need music.

Over the past two years, he’s played over 400 street concerts.

While living through the lockdown, Kerr and other musicians came up with fitting lyrics for the pandemic situation, making the song and video for Isolation Groove.

“I love the feel of all the small towns I’m visiting on the Saskatchewan tour with the arts councils,” says Kerr. “Kipling is a very friendly place.”

“I love the small shows as well,” explains Kerr. “I enjoy connecting with people of all ages and backgrounds in all kinds of communities.”

A big part of his

show includes the stories, explaining how each song came about.

Other than original songs, Kerr also includes familiar classic cover songs during his shows.

“The audiences have been so appreciative to be able to have live music again,” explains Kerr.

“I really appreciate and enjoy the intimate shows in a small venue.”

Kerr performed an old familiar classic from 50 years ago entitled Drift Away

by Dobie Gray and a tune by the name of Wear Something Out, to which there was encouragement of audience participation.

Kerr spent time visiting with the audience while at his merchandise table, featuring CDs of his original music for sale.

He ended the night with a double encore, the first was a song he sang on Canadian Idol, Yellow, and the last song of the evening was a Canadian classic by Leonard Cohen, Halleluiah.

Kerr has many things he’s grateful for but family comes first.

“I’m very proud of my family, my wife Tara

and my three kids.”

“I’m very proud of all the connections that I’ve made through doing something sincere, putting my heart out there. I’m amazed at how much support and joy there has been just standing up in the middle of the street and singing a song and how it attracts people’s hearts. I’m very proud of the ripples of good things that have gone out just from singing a song.

“I’m happy with where I’m at as a musician,” says Kerr. “I feel like I’ve made it.”

Kerr’s proudest moment becomes very apparent in his nostalgic songs about his young family when he sings about his kids.

And he dedicates a song to his wife, You’re Amazing.

Watch for Kerr’s latest album entitled Grateful, a collaboration album featuring eight of his favourite local artists.

“Thanks for coming out to support the Kipling & District Arts Council,” says committee member Mona Lynn Stender.

“Don’t miss our next show featuring The Bromantics in March.”
