Sledge hockey brings Wawota and community together

By Laura Kish In Canada, hockey is the main winter sport, but not everyone has the ability to play.

For many, lacing up skates isn't an option, but with the creation of sledge hockey, more opportunities have developed for everyone to participate in a version of Canada's national sport.

Sledge hockey is the Paralympic version of ice hockey. It is a fast-paced, highly physical game played by athletes with a physical disability in the lower part of the body. It has essentially the same rules as ice hockey.

Instead of wearing skates, each player sits strapped to a two-bladed sledge that is raised high enough to allow the puck to pass beneath. Players also use two 75-centimetre hockey sticks, with spikes on one end and blades on the other. The spike is used to propel the sledge across the ice while the slightly curved blade is used to handle the puck.

Similar to ice hockey, each team has six players on the ice, including the goaltender.

The town of Wawota welcomed the first recreational

sledge hockey tournament of its kind in the area in 2014, with Melanie Brimner organizing the event.

Several years ago her son, Blake Lamontagne, was in a car accident which left him injured and in need of a wheelchair.

The idea for the tournament came with the want for Brimner's family to be able to play hockey together, a favorite pastime of the family. This gave Blake the opportunity to play hockey with his brother.

The seventh annual recreational tournament is set to happen March 25-27.

Brimner explains that the event wouldn’t happen without the support of the community and many friends and family.

The equipment for these tournaments was usually rented but Brimner took an opportunity to purchase the equipment, which allows Brimner and her family to bring awareness to people in Wawota and the surrounding communities.

"It was about awareness and getting everybody to see how it is to not be able to use your legs," says Brimner.

The tournament has had over 20 rinks participate in

“I said I would continue to organize the sledge hockey tournament as long as there was interest,” says Brimner.

“Instead of it losing interest, it seems to be getting bigger and bigger. They start asking me in December if I’m still going ahead with it again.”

It’s unknown how many teams will take part this year,

as many seem to wait until the last minute to commit.

Brimner expects there will be upwards of 20 teams again this year.

All ages, no matter what your abilities are, are welcome to sign up to play.

“It’s just a fun tournament, there’s no prizes….just bragging rights,” jokes Brimner.

To enter, please call

Call us... We have answers

Brimner at 306-577-7484 or message her on Facebook.

“We have a guaranteed 50/50 prize of $1,000 this year,” explains Brimner.

Any money raised from the tournament and silent auction will be donated towards the Wawota Rink, STARS Air Ambulance and the remainder for Blake to compete in world waterskiing competition.

Corinne Hewitt is a quilter by day and an author by night

By Gord Paulley Born and raised locally, Corinne Hewitt and her husband Kenny have returned to Carlyle.

The Hewitts moved to Alberta in 2006 and resided on an acreage near Delia, 30 kilometres from Hanna. They have four grown-up children, Chantal, Courtney, Jaymie and Joshua, and six grandchildren, two girls and four boys.

Her husband was employed in the Alberta oil patch and she was a very active quilter. In 2009, she fulfilled one of her dreams and opened her very own quilting store in Hanna.

Quilting was mostly self-taught and Hewitt created and designed her own patterns, from pieced quilts to applique and hand embroidery.

She was also a voracious reader and every year made a new year’s resolution to write a novel.

Finally, in 2015, another dream came true. She invented the characters of Jacob and Abigail, and the first of her six Abbington Pickets books was written and published.

The Abbington Pickets series is Christian historical fiction and to date the following books are in print: Jacob of Abbington Pickets, Jacob’s Place and Letters from Jacob. She has also published an Abbington Pickets Cookbook, her first children’s book Papa’s Chair, and co-au-

thored a Bible study that coincides with her first novel.

The characters and stories centre around a fictional town from 116 years ago, not unlike Cannington Manor, which has been Hewitt’s favourite place since childhood.

Spending time there with her grandmother Carol, who worked as a tour guide for 18 years, Corinne learned all the history about the Victorian village and area.

Hewitt grew up in the RM of Moose Mountain near Cowper Creek, located north and east of Carlyle. She has always been interested in local history and has revolved her Abbington Picket series around the local countryside. She is an accomplished writer and plans on publishing her next novel, Jacob’s Secret, in the fall.

In the summer of 2020, the couple decided to relocate back to Carlyle and once their Alberta acreage was sold, did so in September 2021. They presently reside in her grandmother’s Carlyle residence, located on Second Street West. Her grandmother, 89-year-old Carol Thomas, is now living at Deerview Lodge in Wawota. Someday they plan on building a new residence on the home quarter where she grew up.

Hewitt and her husband own nine miniature donkeys and a few

head of cattle, and will continue to grow the herd along with their son, Jaymie and father, Wes. Kenny Hewitt is now employed as a mechanic at Kal Tire in Carlyle, which is owned and operated by Wes and Gavin Thomas, Corinne’s father and brother.

Corinne is still an active quilter and pattern designer but does not plan on reopening a store. Her focus now is writing, preserving history, spending time with her family and beginning farm life. Hewitt also has several other pastimes which keep her busy, this includes baking bread, making homemade butter and has even resurrected the dying art of rope making. She plans on holding demonstrations for these and other interesting hobbies in the future.

A review from Amelia Griggs, an American

author, after her first book was written: “I was very intrigued by this book, which is the first in the series of Abbington Pickets. It kept me on the edge of my seat, as there was a dark, deep family secret revealed early in the book. This made me even more curious to see what would happen and how the story would transpire.

“I enjoyed each chapter and couldn’t read it fast enough. I also liked learning about the main character, Jacob, and the various events that he experienced and how he dealt with them, including romance, mystery, deceit and tragedy.

“Corinne Hewitt has become one of my favourite authors. She puts her heart and soul into her writing. She is not only a gifted writer, but also a very creative storyteller. I look forward to reading more books by this author.”

Corinne Hewitt is a woman of multiple talents.

Micah Zandee-Hart returns to Canada with an Olympic gold medal

By Laura Kish The Canadian women’s hockey team arrived back home from the Olympics in Beijing on Monday bringing home the gold medal, after winning 3-2 over the United States in the gold medal game.

Canada was already the defending world champions and has four Olympic gold medals, never finishing below silver, in the six tournaments since women’s hockey was introduced at the Nagano Games in 1998.

Saanichton's Micah Zandee-Hart, who has spent lots of time in the Kenosee Lake area, as her father Mick lives there, realized her lifelong dream of becoming an Olympian as she was among the 10 Team Canada newcomers to make their Olympic debut at Beijing 2022.

“Playing at the Olympics was everything I thought it would be and more,” says Zandee-Hart. “To me, the Olympic Games always represented bringing people together and that’s exactly what they did, from within our team to back home as well.”

“Naturally I was nervous going into some of our big games, but I always try to shift that to the mentality of simply being excited and being grateful that I get to do something that matters to me.”

Zandee-Hart got a fair bit of ice time throughout the

Olympics and recorded four assists, but she admits that’s never really something she pays attention to.

“My team won gold and scored a record-setting 54 goals throughout the tournament that’s what matters most!”

During the medal ceremony, Team Canada members presented each other with their medals, in numerical order, followed by an emotional hug.

Zandee-Hart, who wears No. 28, presented the gold medal to No. 29 – team captain and hockey icon Marie-Philip Poulin, who scored twice in the gold medal game.

Mick Hart watched the game with friends and explains what it was like watching his daughter on TV, winning a gold medal at the Olympics.

“I was pretty excited. I was very excited for her because it’s been a dream of hers for most of her life.”

“She persevered after she was cut from the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic team and then she made the 2022 Beijing Olympic team and it paid off for her.”

“She’s very dedicated to her sport.”

Hart spent time texting back and forth with his daughter, getting updates on the team’s progress.

The hockey team has been training for the Olympics for many months.

“The girls were ‘gung ho’ to

get gold this year.”

“Micah saved a goal at one point during the gold medal game on Abby Roque, she blocked two shots on a wideopen net in the second period and that could have been a turning point as we were up 2-0 at that time. That made a huge difference.”

An interesting southeast connection was shared by Hart as he reminisced about his daughter’s hockey career: “When Micah was here (at Kenosee) at 8 or 9 years old, Colleen Sostorics (formerly of Kennedy) was having a hockey school in Whitewood so we signed her up for that. She became Micah’s favourite player after that.”

Sostorics won three gold medals playing defence for Team Canada at the Olympics.

A short time later, Sostorics and Team Canada were preparing for the Olympics and played some exhibition games against Team USA. One of them was in Victoria.

Zandee-Hart’s mom took her to this game. Following the game, players were signing autographs, Zandee-Hart comes along in the lineup and Sostorics remembered her.

“Hey what are you doing out here?” says Sostorics.

Zandee-Hart’s response was: “I actually live here.”

Needless to say, Sostorics has been a big inspiration for

Micah Zandee-Hart grins from ear to ear while taking a bite out of her gold medal. Photo submitted by Micah Zandee-Hart Zandee-Hart.

“I’ve got pictures of Micah at varying ages with the Colleen Sostorics sign at Kennedy in the backdrop,” explains Hart.

“I texted Colleen the next morning after the win and I sent her a picture of Micah with the gold medal and a big smile on her face and I just said ‘Thanks for the inspiration Colleen!’” said Hart.

Sostorics texted back a picture of her daughter watching the gold medal presentation.

“Now Micah is an inspiration to my daughter.”

“Colleen Sostorics brought my dream to life,” said ZandeeHart. “I knew what I wanted but meeting Colleen and seeing what she accomplished, coming from the small town of

Kennedy….that is what made me truly believe I could do it too.”

Zandee-Hart now has an Olympic medal with which to inspire young players.

She has fulfilled her lifelong dream of going to the Olympics, bringing home the gold to boot, and shares what she has planned for her future.

“On a hockey scale, my goal is to do it again. I want to keep building my game, and especially after my injury this past year I still have some work to do to get back where I want to be physically.

Aside from hockey I want to commit to helping grow the women's game in B.C. and work a bit on some other passions in my life.”

Love ceases to be a pleasure when it ceases to be a secret.

- Aphra Behn

NDP needs to get its leadership right

By Murray Mandryk The problem with today’s Saskatchewan’s New Democratic Party (NDP) isn’t just that they are too left-wing, representing an ideology too radical and far-removed from the mainstream views of this province.

Yes, this certainly has been the prevailing perception of the NDP under now out-going leader Ryan Meili.

But the NDP’s problems likely go much deeper than that.

The NDP under Meili actually lost more by-elections than it won — including that critical Athabasca by-election that turned into Meili’s death knell because it was a seat the NDP had lost once in the previous 47 years.

And when it came to the general election in October 2020, the NDP wound up with no more seats than it had before the campaign started.

Meili and the rest of the New Democrats were running against a government, in the midst of a pandemic, that was running up the biggest debt and deficits in Saskatchewan history. There were reasons to think they should have made gains.

As a doctor leading a party during a pandemic, this would be Meili’s time to shine. Whatever his political enemies might think of him, Meili wasn’t wrong about many pandemic-related issues.

But these results point to bigger issues for the NDP than Meili —issues much broader and deeper than the pandemic.

The problems for the NDP are clearly not just about Meili and his perceived left-wing views or his seeming eagerness to support the carbon tax. (As a point of fact, while Meili supported some form of carbon pricing, he didn’t specifically support the federal government program he and everyone else rightly identified as being ineffective in cutting greenhouse gas emissions.)

There was clearly a greater emphasis on social policy and social concern under Meili’s leadership.

But when you break it down to specific policies like more support for northerners and First Nations, health care and mental health, you are dealing with policies that no one now finds particularly radical.

Moreover, it can be argued that Meili’s predecessors Lorne Calvert, Dwain Lingenfelter and Cam Broten were all right of the NDP leader when it came their approach and policies. None of them fared much better in the past 15 years of Saskatchewan Party government rule.

If anything, the rise of Meili and the party’s swing to the left that his leadership was said to represent came after frustration within the party about how the same old approach stemming from the Roy Romanow-Lorne Calvert era wasn’t working.

But it should also be said that what wasn’t working before surely worked no better under Meili. Arguably, things have gotten worse, given Meili’s tenure was not exactly during good times for the Sask. Party government, either.

The NDP needs to do a lot of things differently.

The first thing it needs is a charismatic leader that better relates to Saskatchewan as a whole.

This doesn’t mean the NDP needs a leader from rural Saskatchewan … and there sure doesn’t seem to be anyone that leaps to mind.

It should be noted that under both Wall and Moe, the Sask. Party has won seats in urban areas.

Again, the loss in Athabasca was very telling.

This was a riding where the social issues like First Nations poverty violence and suicide — the very issues Meili championed — are prevalent.

That the NDP lost indicates that voters there were looking for something else.

Finding such a leader will no easy task.

Take this job…and respect it

Shelley Luedtke The dorm I lived in my first year of university had a lounge area on each floor that was a gathering place to watch TV, have dorm meetings or just sit and talk.

We were responsible for keeping our own rooms clean but the lounge was cleaned daily for us. Until the people hired to do the cleaning said they’d had enough.

We were called into an unscheduled dorm meeting one evening where we were informed cleaning services would be suspended for one week because the staff was having to deal with messes that weren’t on the list of routine duties. We were told the lounge was so terrible the residence staff was putting us on a cleaning rotation to see for ourselves what it was like.

What a difference a week made. Those who were scheduled to clean up were vocal about messes being made and

held others responsible for cleaning up after themselves. When it was friends and fellow dorm mates doing the cleaning, we paid attention to the mess we were making.

A week earlier, girls were spitting sunflower seeds on the carpet.

Disgusting, but true.

The thought of having to clean it up themselves made them cease that behaviour. So why was it happening in the first place?

I was on a long flight where we were served multiple meals, snacks, and beverages, and given extra pillows and blankets at various stages of the trip. We were seated in the back section of the plane, so we had to walk through most of the cabin when it was time to disembark. I could not believe the mess we were seeing on the floor as we walked past cluttered row after row after row.

Yes, it had been a longer flight and yes, we were offered many things over those hours, but I couldn’t remember a flight when the opportunity to get rid of garbage was offered more times either.

What is wrong with us that we would throw things all over the floor to be piled up, stepped on and kicked around?

Who taught us to treat this space like that?

Kipling Library partners with READ Saskatoon READ Saskatoon has a long history as a local literacy organization that offers literacy services to adults and families at no cost to participants.

For more than 40 years, the organization has provided adult tutoring services with the help of trained volunteers and community partners. READ Saskatoon offers adult, family and children’s tutoring, and financial literacy programs, as well as literacy facilitator trainings and resources.

“READ Saskatoon has a proven track record and comprehensive literacy programs that deliver tangible results.

With more than onethird of children not ready to start kindergarten when they arrive at school, our province needs increased family literacy programming more than ever,” READ Saskatoon executive director Sheryl HarrowYurach said.

“We are excited to partner with a likeminded organization, the Southeast Regional Library, to deliver our family literacy programming at its branches throughout southeast Saskatchewan, including Kipling Library,” Harrow-Yurach said.

“Southeast Regional Library’s vision is an informed and literate community. READ Saskatoon’s vision is a community that values, promotes, and supports literacy. We are very much aligned in our core values and we recognize that the more literacy skills young children develop before kindergarten, the better equipped they are for academic and general success in all areas of life later on,” SRL library director Kate-Lee Nolin said.

The benefits of early literacy programming for families and children are substantial including improvements in readiness for school, early school performance,

graduation rates and employment prospects; alongside a reduction in incidences of delinquency, contact with the justice system, and the need for remedial education services.

SRL will be deliver-

ing READ Saskatoon’s 1, 2 Buckle My Shoe family numeracy sixweek program in March at the Kipling Library.

1, 2, Buckle My Shoe is READ Saskatoon’s newest program for parents, caregivers, and their pre-

schoolers ages three to five. The program focuses on numbers, counting, estimating, measuring and shapes through activities, rhymes, and stories. Families will learn fun new activities, games and tips about numbers, math, and problem solving for use every day.

“It’s geared towards

setting the kids up to have those basic counting skills so they’re set for kindergarten,” said Charla Smyth, librarian at the Kipling Library, who will be the facilitator of this program.

Smyth is looking forward to hosting this program.

“It’ll be really good.

I really, really enjoy putting story times on so I’m excited to build on that.”

Smyth is hoping to have a full class as there are already families looking forward to it.

Parents can find more information and register for the program with Smyth by calling 306-736-2911.

In conjunction with Viterra and CurlSask, the Carlyle Curling Club hosted a very successful youth clinic last week.

Thirty-five youngsters age five to 18 came out and enjoyed the opportunity to learn about the game of curling. Dustin Mikush is the development co-ordinator of CurlSask.

Over 120 curling clubs in Saskatchewan were asked to participate in this one-day event and the Carlyle club accepted their invitation.

Viterra, Canada’s largest grain handler, has been a partner of CurlSask for several years and with the clinic being sponsored, participation was free. Potential young curlers registered online and came from several towns in the surrounding area, including Carlyle, Manor, Arcola, Wawota and Redvers.

Due to the large number of participants, this event had to be conducted in two sessions, with the curling club providing the youngsters with pizza and refreshments in between.

Michelle Cooper was one of the parents who had her two children, Jessica, age 11, and Ryan, nine, participate. Said Cooper: “It was an excellent opportunity to give curling a

shot as both kids had never set foot on a curling rink before. They made amazing progress in a short amount of time. Thank you to the volunteers and organizers of this event.”

Curling club member Michael Lothian was pleased with the turnout. Said Lothian, “We haven’t had a clinic such as this for several years and we were impressed with the numbers. Hopefully the kids and their parents come out next year and give curling a try.”

Concluded Lothian, “The Carlyle Club wishes to thank Viterra and CurlSask for sponsoring this great event. There was a great turnout and we plan on holding another clinic in the early winter of 2022.”

Curling Club members Michael Lothian and Jess Franklin were very pleased with the turnout. Said Lothian, “We haven’t had a clinic such as this for several years and we were impressed with the numbers. Hopefully the kids and their parents come out next year and give curling a try!”

The club is also losing one of very active members Jess Franklin, who is also a dedicated volunteer. He and his wife Joanne are in the process of moving to Falcon Lake, Man. They have sold their Carlyle residence and Joanne Franklin is being promoted by the RCMP.

Arcola Figure Skating Club holds competition

By Gord Paulley This past Saturday, the Arcola Figure Skating Club hosted the annual skating competition for Regions 1 and 6 for Skate Canada - Saskatchewan.

This is a non-profit sport governing body affiliated with and governed by Skate Canada. In Saskatchewan, there are over 8,500 individual members belonging to 122 clubs in the province.

Skate Canada is dedicated to providing competitive opportunities for all skaters, promote the sport and encourage local club participation, and to provide progressive training opportunities for membership development.

This one-day event attracted 80 girls and two boys, ages six to 17, from all over southeastern Saskatchewan. Communities represented included Arcola, Carlyle, Wawota, Estevan, Oxbow, Whitewood, Moosomin, Indian Head, Pense, Melville, Esterhazy, and Milestone. There were eight pro-

vincial judges who graded the skaters both individually and in team events.

Arcola Figure Skating Club president Sarah Rickard was very impressed with the daylong event which went off without a hitch. “To my knowledge, Arcola has not hosted a competition such as this for many years. Attendance was excellent and the local food and figure skating vendors had a great day along with good support for our raffle tables. It was a great day.”

The Arcola Figure Skating Club has only 20 members and it was quite an achievement to receive approval to host a prestigious competition such as this. The entire Prairie Place/ skating rink facility was utilized and garnered a lot of positive comments from both fans and out of town skaters.

Trish McNeil is secretary and Tammy Sheridan the treasurer.

Winners from this year’s competition will be posted Recent award winners at the Arcola Figure Skating Club were Brynn Chapman, Kati shortly on the Skate Canada - Vanwinkoop and Tiana Delalleau, who are pictured with Arcola Figure Skating Club Saskatchewan website. president Sarah Rickard.

Pet Corner The love of horses endures for many people

By Lisa McCullough Have you ever stood among a herd of horses? Have you ever had the opportunity to watch them run and frolic or even just stand there peacefully munching away on grass or hay?

If you haven’t and you get the opportunity to do so, I highly recommend it because in my experience there has never been a more beautiful, sacred and peaceful place to be.

Throughout my lifetime, I have been through many hardships, as a lot of people have, I am sure. And through each of those hardships, through the history of my life so far, there has been a horse.

The absolute peace and serenity I find standing in the presence of a horse are second to none.

Did you know a

horse can mend a broken heart? Did you know that they can feel your energy and heal that energy? They can.

Horses are immensely intelligent and sensitive creatures and though people may argue they cannot feel emotion, in my experience, they can.

I do not know how many times I have cried into the mane of a horse, or laid my head on their shoulder, arms around their neck, and poured out my deepest regrets and fears.

I cannot count how many times a horse has brought me back out of the pit of depression or taught me how to dream again after I thought it was not possible.

I have seen horses make shy people come out of their shells. I have watched them teach my daughters what it is to love. Not

to mention heal a soul, teach empathy, patience, and kindness.

Horses throughout history have proven time and time again

New times - they are to come Over the past months, I’ve been ploughing through the Old Testament books of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel, among others.

I admit there have been times when it’s been tough going and I was tempted to skip those records of God's interactions with horribly disobedient people.

Now that I'm past those and into the New Testa-

ment, I'm reading more slowly and carefully through the accounts of the gospels (i.e. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John).

What stood and spoke loudly to my heart are those things that Jesus both spoke and, on the other hand, kept to Himself. He knew things that were coming, things that the disciples couldn't

imagine. More than checking off the list of "today's reading," I am committed to sensing and acknowledging in-

sight into what was, what is and what's coming.

There's no need in delving into what "was"

Notice is hereby given under The Tax Enforcement Act that unless the arrears and costs appearing opposite the land and title number described in the following list are fully paid before the 30th day of April, 2022 an interest based on a tax lien will be registered against the land.

because records of history, both secular and Biblical, are clear. Evil of every kind resulted in suffering of every kind; as for what "is", it takes more perception to not see, than to grasp the current world, national and local unrest.

Can "what is" be described in any other words but frightening?

Oops, I should note, however, that here in many parts of our world, COVID statistics are slowly dropping and for that we need to give thanks.

Then, there is the unknown of "what is to

come" and that's what I'm searching out in my meditations. Jesus responded to the questions and criticisms of religious leaders yet they did not grasp the meaning of His words. Intent on bringing about His demise, they'd no interest in accepting Him for who He was; sadly, not even His disciples really understood His purpose in coming to earth.

What's ahead? Perhaps frightening yet glorious. Let's remember that no earthly pain matches the peace of His presence.

Envision’s Bridging the Distance has positive impact “I am 11 months sober today and have seen my relationships with family and friends steadily improve,” says a man that the Envision Counselling and Support Centre will call John, who phoned in and received services from Envision.

“I’ve been seeing Envision Counselling Services for just over a year.”

John, who is a resident of the older population within the southeast corner of Saskatchewan, chose to remain anonymous, although he was eager and willing to testify to the positive and supportive experiences he has received when accessing the Bridging

the Distance Program for a press release from Envision.

This program is a virtual counselling support service that was introduced in the beginning of the Pandemic, and has seen tremendous success ever since.

“Seeing a counsellor isn’t a ‘get out of jail free’ card,” said John. “It is professional advice, tools, and a confidante to help me monitor and work towards solving some of my problems.”

He added: “It takes work and effort on my part but they’ve provided me with a map and the tools needed to address the things I need to take care of and a way to

evaluate the progress I’m making.”

“Envision is able to provide me with the help and direction I need.” John states.

Individuals who are housebound, or those living with disabilities, can access Bridging the Distance counselling.

“We continue to work hard to ensure that our services are accessible to all, regardless of the changes required due to the pandemic” says Lynda Rideout, Envision Counselling and Support Centre’s executive director.

“It is important to us that we provide the support that is so desperately needed during

these times of uncertainty, to be a light for people, be their connection during these times of hardship when folks are at risk of greater issues, such as suicide or addiction.”

“I would say that there are so many people struggling right now, and we want to get the word out that help is available to them, just on the other end of the phone or computer, however they are most comfortable” Rideout says.

“We have been offering this program for a couple years now, and would like people to know that as this pandemic wages on, we are still here to offer support to

the elderly that don’t have many supports in their lives, as well as those younger than 55 years who are shut-in or unable to leave their homes, due to health issues,” Rideout says.

Bridging the Distance has no cost attached. With the increase in need, this program was expanded in 2021 to be available to people in Estevan, Weyburn, Carlyle, Oxbow and all rural areas in this corner of the province.

In Estevan and surrounding areas, call 306-637-4004 to access services. The number for Carlyle is 306-4532405, and the number for Weyburn is 306-842-8821.

JDM Jewels - “Be Your Own Kind of BeaYOUtiful”

By Gord Paulley Jordan Mullis is the proud owner of JDM Jewels, a retail clothing and jewelry store.

She and her husband Lyndon moved from Regina to Carlyle in 2019 and live on an acreage – the old Coffey homestead – which she refers to as South Park 2.0.

She graduated with a bachelor of science in nursing from the University of Saskatchewan

in 2015 and is a critical care registered nurse.

With the ongoing stresses in the health care system, she decided to take a break from nursing and concentrate on her business.

As Mullis says, “Being a critical care nurse is hard on your soul. I needed to step away.”

Her husband is employed as a welder at Integrity Maintenance.

Mullis created JDM Jewels in 2018 and until recently operated her

business exclusively online and at trade shows. She sells handmade women’s clothing, self-made jewelry, and semi-precious crystals. Mullis also supplies her original homemade jewelry to other vendors in Estevan, Wawota and Moose Jaw. JDM Jewels has now opened a retail outlet on Main Street in Carlyle and is located in the Carlyle Observer building. Presently she

will be open Thursdays and Saturdays with expanded hours later this spring. She is also a regular vendor at the Red Market Barn during the summer.

Although Mullis has regular and loyal clientele, she wishes to expand her business and having a retail store on Main Street Carlyle will attract new customers. She added, “I want this to be a place where women feel incredible, included, and valued.

I find beautiful jewelry and clothing brings joy

and happiness to everyone.”

Mullis lives a very active life. She loves travelling and has visited Hawaii, Italy and England. At least annually she visits her mother Tara Young, who lives on Vancouver Island.

Her father, Tim Lequyer (Lorrie), is employed

by Crescent Point Energy. She enjoys kayaking and swimming and finds the eight hours it takes to cut the grass at their acreage very therapeutic. Since Christmas, they have enjoyed the

daily visits of a moose calf; as an avid animal lover this has only made her love country living more.

Mullis is a very positive person and is excited at the prospects of meeting new customers face to face. St. Patrick’s Day will be the fourth anniversary of JDM Jewels and she plans on holding a grand opening/customer appreciation day. Watch for details. JDM Jewels is also on Facebook and Instagram and has its own website, jdmjewels.ca.

Jewelry won’t change the world, but the women who wear it will tag us in your photos @ jdm.jewels 306.291.2912

Alida news

By Edel Cowan The Alida community extends condolences to all members of the Demas family on the death of Pauline Ann (Demas) Goetz, who passed away on Feb. 3 at the age of 74 years. She was the daughter of Redmond and Josephine Demas. Funeral mass was celebrated in Surrey, B.C., and the rite of committal was held at the Redvers Town Cemetery.

Sincere sympathy is also extended to the Barber families on the death of Garth Barber of Carnduff (formally of Nottingham), who passed away on Feb. 17 at the age of 73 years.

He was the son of Bill and Nellie Barber. A celebration of his life was held at Carnduff United Church with interment at Carnduff Cemetery at a later date.

Shelly and Ainsley Cowan travelled to Minot on Feb. 19 to spend a few days visiting the Nilsen family,

returning home Feb. 21.

It’s the Alida Ladies one-day bonspiel on Feb. 26 beginning in the morning with six-end games being played. There will be a few local vendor tables displaying their wares, and a Chinese auction table with many interesting donated items. You can be sure that the teams will be dressed-up in their finest costumes.

A fried chicken supper with all the trimmings will be served to all participants, as well as to anyone who wishes to attend.

Hope we’ll see you at the rink.

On Feb. 20, Kitchen Group 2 served up 30 breakfasts. It was great to see all of the usual bunch guests who comes from near or far to our breakfasts at the rink. Next week it will be Kitchen Group 3 at the helm, hoping to defeat the Breakfast Challenge record of 49.

Stay safe, everyone, and stay warm.

No electric school buses for school division The question of perhaps purchasing electric school buses, powered by batteries instead of gasoline, came up for a brief discussion during a presentation from the transportation and facilities team at the Feb. 16 meeting of the South East Cornerstone Public School Division’s board members.

One trustee asked facilities and transpor-

tation manager Andy Dobson and transportation supervisor Andy Verhaeghe if the transportation team had looked into the possibilities of adding electrically powered school buses to the fleet.

“I can answer that.

Yes we have,” said Dobson.

However, he noted, the base price tag for an electrically powered school bus is currently

in the $600,000 bracket per bus.

“Their range is about 450 kilometres under ideal weather conditions,” he added.

“You would be cutting that range to less than half in the winter,” said Subdivision 3 (Redvers, Carnduff and Carievale) trustee Jim Henderson, in responding to Dobson’s response to the question.

The transportation team nodded in agreement.

“I expect that to replace a battery in one of those would probably be around $100,000 too,” Henderson added with a chuckle.

With that information on hand, there was no motion forthcoming from any board member to have SECPSD venture any further down the path of elec-

tric school bus purchases in the immediate future.

It became obvious rather quickly that this would have to be a topic for another board

meeting well down the road.

The wheels on the bus may go round and round, but the price of this bus goes up, up, up.

Carlyle RCMP report – officers win Challenge Cup

By Sgt. Dallyn Holmstrom The 2021-22 Challenge Cup was played on Feb. 15 between the Carlyle RCMP and the White Bear First Nations.

After a hard-fought battle on the ice, your Carlyle RCMP took home this year’s bragging rights. The game was a lot of fun and it was great to see the crowd of people that came out to watch and cheer. Special thanks to Chief Annette Lonechild who took time out of her busy schedule to drop the puck.

We had to say goodbye to two of our officers this week at the Carlyle RCMP. Const. Brian Lee has transferred to Sandy Bay First Nations in northern Saskatchewan, while Const. Joanne Franklin has been promoted to the rank of corporal in Falcon Beach, Man. Brian and Joanne will be missed both at the Carlyle RCMP and within the community. I would like to wish them all the best in their new endeavours.

On Feb. 17, Cpl. Michael Parker, Const.

Doug Pilgrim, Head for the Hills Veterinary Clinic and Bright Eyes Dog Rescue located and rescued seven stray dogs, including four puppies from the area. Special thanks to Parker, who purchased dog food with his personal money to help feed the hungry dogs. I would also like to take this op-

portunity to make the public aware of a “snip and clip” program set up by the White Bear First Nations administration where you can get your dog spayed or neutered free of charge.

The Carlyle RCMP issued 22 traffic tickets, including a rare fine for driving a commercial vehicle for more than 13 hours following at least eight consecutive hours of off-duty time, which carried a $150 fine.

On Feb. 14, the RCMP received a 911 call from an intoxicated female. She was upset that her husband had gone for a walk rather than stay home with her on Valentine’s Day. The female was told that the fact her husband went for a walk was not an emergency and she should not have called 911.

On Feb. 17, RCMP received a complaint from a concerned parent who reported that a photo had been posted of their six-year-old daughter on Facebook without her consent. The concerned parents had already contacted the owner of the Facebook account who refused to remove the photo. RCMP contacted the person who posted the photo and explained that you needed parent consent to post a photo of a minor. The photo was then removed from Facebook.

On Feb. 18, RCMP received a complaint of threats being made through Facebook. The

Participants in the Challenge Cup between the Carlyle RCMP and the White Bear First Nations. Photo by Sgt. Dallyn Holmstrom complainant advised that an adult female had threatened to get someone beat them up and kick them in the head over a previous criminal investigation that was still in court. This matter is still under investigation but I want to warn all the keyboard heroes out there that think they are invincible behind their computer screens. You can, and will be, charged for threats or actions that you send to other people while online.

That same day at 11 p.m., the RCMP received a complaint of a group of young boys knocking very loudly on a female’s door and then driving away in a black Dodge truck.

RCMP stopped and spoke with the group of four young boys who admitted

RCMP investigate break and enter at Windthorst Arena

By Laura Kish Broadview RCMP are investigating a complaint of a break and enter and theft at the community arena in Windthorst, which is believed to have occurred during the night on Feb. 17.

Initial investigation indicates minor damage was made to the doors of the building and a small amount of cash was reported as stolen.

The RCMP continues to investigate.

Anyone with information is asked to call the

Broadview RCMP at 306-696-5200.

Information can also be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submitting a tip online at www. saskcrimestoppers. com

to knocking on the complainant’s door, looking for a friend. The group said they were just having fun and they didn’t mean to scare the female or cause any problems. The group told police they would apologize.

On Feb. 19, RCMP received a call from a local business owner in Carlyle. The business owner advised that two employees aged 16 and 18 have been stealing from the business. Video evidence of the thefts has been obtained and both employees have been charged with theft. It really is tough to find good help these days.

On Feb. 20, RCMP responded to a call near Carlyle where a 1996 Skidoo started on fire. It is believed that an oil leak was the cause. The skidoo was a total loss in the fire, but luckily no one was hurt.

It’s okay not to be okay Mental health calls this week varied from people with dementia, people suffering from drug and alcohol psychosis, to people suffering from depression. We want to encourage everyone to reach out for help and talk to someone if they can. No matter how

bad things may seem, remember that they will always get better. Life can be very difficult to say the least. Please reach out and check in with friends, coworkers, and family see how they are doing. It’s a perfectly normal question to ask people how they are doing. Don’t let people suffer in silence. If you
