Communities pull together in support of the Lake family By Stephanie Zoer The Happy Nun Café was the place to be on Saturday, when many people came together for a cabaret for the Lake family. Organizers Erin Richaud and Kim Malowski put the event on to help Jonathan Lake and his family. Lake was diagnosed with cancer earlier in the year, which devastated his family. Lake has three young children and now with his illness is unable to work. Although an account has been set up in Lake’s name at the Stoughton Credit Union, Richaud and Malowski felt the need to do more, and the cabaret was put in motion, with the Happy Nun offering their venue for the event. The sold-out benefit enjoyed music by the Back 40 Drifters, a southeast Saskatchewan group with five talented members. Band member John Van Eaton said they felt the need to support this family and donated their

time and talents. They played a wide variety of music throughout the evening. Van Eaton’s home burned to the ground in 1986 and he never forgot how his community pulled together and helped him out, so he wanted to pay it forward with the Lakes. With 42 donated raffle prizes, people eagerly bought up tickets to support, but also on the chance to win one of the fabulous prizes, which were donated from all around. Richaud and Malowski are so thankful for all the businesses, friends and family that helped before, during and after this phenomenally successful cabaret. The Café sold drinks for $5, which kept bartender Leon Gilbertson busy with part of the proceeds being donated to the family as well. Stoughton Meat Market, Stoughton Coop, Goodwill Bakery in Stoughton, and Doreen Richaud gracefully donated a delicious mid-

Richaud said without all the donations, this event would not have been possible. They also said it was good to see Jonathan and Cheryl Lake attend. Cheryl was grateful to be able to get out and enjoy

an evening of socializing. She said, “it took my mind off of life for just a little while.” Dancers came from all over area communities, hitting the dance floor with their fantastic moves.

Richaud went on to say that it is because of all the caring people that have attended and donated that make this area a special place to live. The Lake family said they have no words to express how deeply grate-

ful and overwhelmed they are with the generosity shown to their family over the last months. “Cards, texts and phone calls have lifted our spirits immensely,” Cheryl said. Donations made in person or through the Stoughton Credit Union or the coin wars at the Stoughton Central School are amazing, and now through the cabaret. “This has helped her family so much and it eases the financial burden, incurred with all the travelling we need to do with treatment,” Cheryl said. They would like to thank all the staff, doctors and nurses at the Arcola Hospital and the General and Pasqua Hospitals in Regina, for their compassion during this trying time. Jonathan, Cheryl, Cheyenne, Willian and MacyLynn would like for everyone to know that they are so very thankful for all the outpouring love and support during this time. It will never be forgotten.

Laurie Day and her ongoing battle with tinnitus By Gord Paulley Laurie Day is the proud owner of Dayzi’s Donuts and Coffee Shop on Main Street Carlyle. She moved to town in 1999 and opened Dayz Dollar Deals in the old Sears and Savill Shoes building in 2003. In 2008, her partner Steven Lothian purchased the office building owned by Macdonald, Dawson and Fabian. They renovated the building which is now part of Carlyle Bakery. She continued selling dollar store items until 2009. Since 2018, she has operated her donut and coffee shop and is the retail sales outlet for the bakery. Over the years, she has developed a loyal clientele, and although the two-year pandemic was devastating, she survived the downturn. Dayzi’s Donuts remained open throughout. Day has had many health issues in her life

Laurie Day serving Ken Anderson his daily coffee and donut. Picture submitted by Laurie Day. and, although reluctant at first, was more than willing to tell her story. On Good Friday in 1989, Day was involved in a serious car accident. Alone in her small car, she drove into a power pole. She was rushed by ambulance from Weyburn to Regina and for 10 days was in a coma at the Plains Hospital.

She fortunately came out of her coma to discover various injuries, the major one being a broken pelvis. She then transferred to the Wascana Rehabilitation Centre where she underwent strenuous physical therapy for over three months. While it has been 33 years since her tragic automobile accident, Day

still has several health issues. Unfortunately for her, in recent months she has been suffering from a constant roaring sound in her head. Headaches are constant and consistent, with Tylenol doing little to relieve the pain. Tinnitus is the hearing of sound when no external sound is present. It is not a disease but a symptom that can result from a number of underlying causes. One of the most common causes is noise-induced hearing loss. Other causes include ear infections, disease of the heart or blood vessels, brain tumours, earwax, emotional stress, or a previous head injury. It is more common in those with depression or anxiety. Day discussed her ailment in her very quiet living room on Second Street East. “It has been so frustrating to live with the constant roaring in my head. Some days are bet-

Mock collision staged at Carlyle’s high school Submitted by Sgt. Dallyn Holmstrom On the morning of May 17, the Carlyle Students Against Drunk Driving group partnered with the Carlyle Fire Department, Carlyle Emergency Medical Services, and Carlyle RCMP to complete a mock drinking and driving collision exercise. The incident was completed in the Gordon F. Kells High School parking lot where the entire school was able to observe. The students of the school were not aware the exercise was

taking place and initially did not realize the situation was not real. In the scenario, a drunk driver had struck and killed a pedestrian and seriously injured the two passengers in the vehicle. The driver was arrested and placed in the back of the police car, while the deceased actor was covered up with a blanket. The two injured occupants were treated for their injuries while one had to be cut from the vehicle while utilizing the Jaws of Life. Other actors yelled, screamed and cried to express

their concern to the point one actor had to be arrested to allow emergency crews to complete their jobs. Following the exercise, students and emergency first responders

were required to attend a debriefing to talk about the event and ensure everyone was okay. For photos of the mock accident, please see the Observed At page on A7.

ter, some days are worse. For the life of me, I cannot imagine living in Ottawa back in February when they had that trucker’s convoy and all those honking horns. Even at work, there are times when I must cringe away from the counter to collect my thoughts.” No one will ever know if the car accident was the major factor that contributed to her hearing issues. Day also confided that she had surgery to repair a hole in her ear many years ago. She is presently doctoring with specialists in Regina and hopefully a cure, or at least a welcoming relief, can be found. Day is now 60 years old. Her daughter Chantal lives in Regina and is

her pride and joy. Chantal is employed with United Flooring as an administrator and is also a wedding event planner and commissioner. Ironically, she is also in her second year of training to become a hearing aid technician. Steve and Laurie also own a four-year-old puppy, a female named Oreo. Concluded Day: “With my ongoing health issues, I plan on taking a prolonged leave of absence from the store. Steve and I have another manager in place, and we do not plan on closing. I love my coffee shop and love visiting with all my loyal customers. I am really crossing my fingers that I can find a solution to my very painful problem.”

Pins are falling once again at Carnduff’s bowling alley By Paul Kimball For three years, things have been so quiet at Carnduff’s Bowling Lanes that you could hear a pin drop. Well, you couldn’t even hear that, as the lanes were closed. Now they’re open again. After six years of thinking about it, Johnny and Christine Friesen purchased the lanes, did some renovations, changed the name and this past March, Carnduff Bowl & Sports Lounge

became part of Carnduff’s landscape. The Friesens began overhauling the kitchen, a process that is still ongoing, replaced most of the aging shoes, did some major paintwork and ordered an air conditioner for those hot summer months that are just around the corner. Bowling in the summers of years gone by felt more like being in a sauna than in a bowling alley. The Friesen’s have big dreams for their new business.

Soon they plan to have an outdoor patio, a couple of golf simulators and a lounge where one can watch their favourite sports teams in action. Once their kitchen facilities are completed, they will be offering a menu featuring in-house preparation, but in the meantime, pizza and fried chicken are brought in from local suppliers. A few homemade items, like hot dogs and nachos, are available. They are licensed

if you enjoy something a little stronger than a soft drink. Currently, they are running a few fun leagues, are open to public bowling, and host parties. Windups for sports teams, birthdays – they’ve even hosted a bash for 4-H, where 137 4-H kids came and went throughout the day. All four lanes were used and their maximum capacity of 86 was put to the test. When fall arrives, Youth Bowl Canada and league bowling

will begin in earnest. The Friesens are thrilled with how the first few months have gone. Expectations have been exceeded, thanks to the support of the Carnduff community and those beyond. Local bowlers are also happy that they no longer have to travel far and wide to places like Estevan and Melita to get their bowling fix. It’s great to hear a pin drop once again. Drop in and hear for yourself.

painting continue. Frecon is presently employed full time at Canadian Plains Energy Services. “A couple of years ago, we were in the area visiting Jason’s family,” said Corbiere. “We visited the Carlyle Bakery on a busy Saturday afternoon to pick up some cinnamon buns. I was so impressed with the busy Main Street, the centre lane parking, and the positive energy emanating from this town. I told Jason, if we ever decide to move, we are moving to Carlyle.” Added Frecon, “We have formed a unique company which is being operated out of a unique building. We love people,

the smell of coffee and think there is a market for the higher quality brands and warm atmosphere that we intend to create. Customers can purchase many different brands in one visit and are more than welcome to taste test one.

They can also be contacted at 639-992-0232 or goodvibescoffee4@ gmail.com. Concluded Corbiere, “We’re looking forward to seeing you when we’re open June 4th.”

Love ceases to be a pleasure when it ceases to be a secret. - Aphra Behn

Sask. Party struggle surprising twist to sitting By Murray Mandryk Going into the spring sitting, one thought the story would be another very bad sitting for the NDP opposition. They had just lost the safe Athabasca riding, spurring the resignation of current NDP leader Ryan Meili. Not only would this mean a spring sitting with a lame duck leader, but also the uncomfortableness of the NDP’s fourth leadership race in 13 years. Worse, Regina Lakeview MLA Carla Beck was the only candidate that seemed interested in the race until the late entry of Kaitlyn Harvey. The sharks in the Saskatchewan Party government could smell the blood in the water. Conversely, while the Sask. Party government was certainly experiencing its share of problems, it certainly appeared the province’s fortunes were back on the rise. The spring budget saw a pleasing reduction in the deficit to one-fifth the previous year’s level. And the budget projections for the price of oil of around US$75 a barrel remain considerably lower than the current price of $100-plus-a-barrel. Optimism further abounded because of price increases in other commodities like wheat and potash — largely due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Certainly, Premier Scott Moe and his government’s support for Ukrainian refugees wanting to relocate to Canada was welcomed. Similarly welcomed was an end to COVID-19 restrictions and the re-emergence from two years of pandemic restrictions that limited economic activities. So, it comes as more than a bit of a surprise that it’s Moe’s Sask. Party government that seems to be limping out of this spring sitting. Again, it probably has less to do with what the NDP did this spring sitting than what the Sask. Party government did to itself. Perhaps the old adage that governments defeat themselves isn’t quite applicable yet – largely because it remains difficult to see a political party in this province that people see as a viable alternative to run the government. That said, the Sask. Party ran headlong into a lot of discontent this spring, some of it manifesting into an alternative political party that may now pose a bigger challenge to the Sask. Party than current NDP opposition. Even if NDP was more in line with mainstream views — something that seems unlikely to change whether they elect Beck (the more moderate and the odds-on favourite in the leadership race) or Harvey — it’s a party still struggling to get its act together. We saw the NDP oppose a bill that would allow municipalities — if they wished — to permit beer or wine at picnics in public municipal parks. It was an issue that Ryan Meili and the NDP proposed a year ago. That said, the NDP did score points at the expense of the Sask. Party government on critical issues like long-surgical wait times, closed rural emergency services, doctors and nurse leaving the province and perhaps even ongoing COVID-19 deaths that the government has simply tried to downplay in recent months. Polls show a decided frustration with the government over its handling of COVID-19. And rather than rally behind Moe and his government for opening things up, there seems interest in new alternatives from the right like the new United Party backed by former Sask. Party Nadine Wilson and even former agriculture minister Gerry Ritz. This discontent on the right — even after trying to appease their concerns — was troubling for Moe and company. Surprisingly, there was a lot this spring that the government found troubling.

A thousand words and a lot of space

Shelley Luedtke A group of people were discussing the envelopes and boxes of pictures they have stored in cupboards and closets — not to mention the hundreds that are currently sitting on computers and phones. Since each one tells a story, a thousand words at a time, it can be a daunting task wondering what to do with all of them. Do you need two dozen pictures of your cousin’s best friend’s wedding? How many sunset shots from your favourite vacation spot need to be sitting on your desktop? Yes, the new baby in the extended family is a delight but are we required to keep all the pictures that keep getting sent? At the moment we capture a shot, it means something to us. It’s why we grabbed a camera or phone in the first place. There was something happening we wanted to remember, and a picture is a way to make time stand still so you can hold onto it. Years

later, that picture might become a precious keepsake or just another one of the hundreds creating digital or physical clutter. I was contributing to a project where I used to work, and I approached an older woman who had been part of that community years earlier to see if she had any photographs I could incorporate. I was informed that she didn’t have the money at that point in her life to own a camera to be taking any pictures, so no photographic commemoration exists. What a difference today. In 2022, it is estimated that 54,400 photos are taken every second. Every second. Within this hour there will be an additional 196 million in existence, which means by the end of today, 4.7 billion pictures will have been shot. Keep extrapolating that and it turns out that this year there will be 1.72 trillion pictures taken. No wonder we’re drowning in images. A friend of mine did up small, unique albums each year for her growing children. She would choose just 12 pictures, one to represent each month, and starting with the previous year’s birthday party, create a keepsake covering a year of highlights. Another friend says chronological collections are too mundane for her. She separates all her pictures into themes: fam-

Who is this guy now writing for the Observer? By Paul Kimball Perhaps you’ve noticed an unfamiliar name as you’ve been reading your favourite newspaper. Paul Kimball. You’ve wondered, “Who is this guy?” Good question. For almost 65 years, I’ve tried to find the answer. My first 20 years were spent around Toronto and I remember having 3 career ambitions –marine biology, journalism and pastoring. Poor science skills kiboshed that first dream, wrong High School courses killed the 2nd dream, so I pursued the 3rd. After attending a seminary for a year, I heard a voice saying, “Go west, young man.”

Off to Winnipeg I went, to work at a church for a summer. I liked that city so much that I moved there permanently and met Linda, the woman I would eventually marry. School didn’t go well, so my pastoral desires fell by the wayside. When all else fails, go into sales. I did, for 29 years. It wasn’t dream #4, but it was still good. At 51, I got the golden handshake and made a career change. I worked for a mission, serving the homeless. Then the pastoral itch came back. I applied to a few churches, then heard that voice again with a slight variation. “Go west, old man.” I ended up in Carnduff.

Linda and I arrived in 2014 and I began to live out dream #3. A month later, I started writing for the Carnduff Gazette. Dream #2 be-

came a reality. Will dream #1 will ever be realized? Maybe that aquarium at the mission was the closest I’ll come. And that, in a nutshell, is who this guy is. Oh, we have 3 children

Everyone is uniquely different and deserves to be happy By Stephanie Zoer In life, you may be dealt with situations that are not easy to manage. Most times, a solution is found, and the problem is solved. What if your brain struggles to figure this out on how to solve the problem? What if you are born with a mental disability which causes you issues to solve that problem and now makes you depressed? Krystle Zoer is a 39-yearold woman who was born with a mental disability and also struggles with depression. She has done so for a large part of her life. As a child, Zoer said she was in and out of hospitals often for failure to thrive. She had a list of specialists trying to figure out what was wrong with her. They travelled all over southern Ontario to meet with doctors but in the end, they labeled her with global developmentally delayed. As Zoer grew older and during her school years, she said she was often bullied

and teased for the way she looked and the way she behaved, and did not have any friends. She struggled with learning in school, but also had a hearing loss to deal with. She admits she has a tough time communicating with people. The older she became, the more depressed she got, she said. “My mom is my best friend, but I did not tell her everything, and I did not tell her what I was thinking all the time,” she said with a smile. At this point in her life, she thought about suicide. She said, “I’m different, I look different, I act different, and I just wanted to die.” She ended up in the hospital after an attempt. She said she felt really bad as it hurt her parents and they are really good to her, but I just wanted a good friend to hang out with. It was then she began to take medication and started counselling. They both helped her a great deal, she said, although now she is

still on medication. Zoer admits she still struggles in making friends and she loves being around people. “My parents always include me when they go away, although I can be hard on them, but they are always there for me. My mom is actually a clown and always tries to make us laugh,” Zoer said. She went on to say she loves her animals, and they help her through challenging times. “They are never mad at me and love me, for me,” said Zoer. She has a little dog Chester, a mini pony Tango and also two cats, Dazy and Minnie. Although she has had several jobs and knows how to do a cashier job, she feels it is difficult when three or four people tell her what to do. She said she cannot get her mind to tell her which one to do first and then becomes very frustrated. “Having my mom to talk to really helps,” she said.

Krystle Zoer has a passion for her animals. Chester and Minnie are always there to listen to her. Photo by Stephanie Zoer “She is always asking me, what I am thinking, so she can help me if I struggle. My mom will also explain to me things I do not understand.” She went on to say she will always be on medication for her depression, but that is okay. “It helps my brain not to think terrible things,” she

Your mental health matters to Morgan Wasylyk By Laura Kish May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and your mental health matters. Mental health awareness is about bringing the public's attention to the realities around mental health and letting everyone know that mental health affects everyone. However, mental health isn't just about having or not having a mental illness. Our wellbeing is affected by all aspects of our lives, and that, in turn, affects how we experience life, work and time with our loved ones. Those living with mental health issues are deserving of care, understanding, compassion and pathways to hope, healing, recovery and fulfillment. That’s where mental health coach Morgan Wasylyk of Carlyle, founder of Seeker Wellness & Healing, can provide help. Wasylyk has struggled herself with her health in general, including her physical health, mental health and emotional health. Through her personal experiences, she found the more alternative side of things were

the most effective for her, whether it was yoga, meditation or holistic measures. Wasylyk has a bachelor of education and taught middle school for 10 years. She explains that the main reason she became a teacher was because she wanted to help people. “My foundation was to build really good relationships with the kids and it probably came from a place of wanting to be the person that I needed when I was a kid growing up.” Up until the fall of 2021, she pursued both careers but at that time made the decision to become a life coach full time and retired from her teaching career. “I still really love teaching,” says Wasylyk. “I caught myself in two passions.” “The more I could help other people, the more I felt I was helping myself. You learn something on a deeper level when you teach it.” It was only natural for this to turn into something else that was even deeper in supporting people. Many people struggle with mental illness but do not realize it, she said. Cli-

ents seek answers. Since becoming a mental health coach, Wasylyk has been gaining much recognition and has generated many of her clientele through referrals. Wasylyk works out of her home for multiple reasons, although the health board brought her in because they wanted to take a different approach, so she attends an office in Carnduff twice a month where she has quite a busy schedule. Clients come because they realize they have to do something different in their lives. It may be difficult for some to open up and be vulnerable in order to change things about themselves. “I suggest for clients to commit to at least four sessions and see where things go from there. They will get a good sense of what the process will be like.” “People may want to have one session and leave and be better and that is not how this works. It is a process and it takes time. Feeling better and evolving in your life is an ongoing process. It’s never ending … if we’re not evolving in our life that’s a major red flag.” “In my line of work, we’re not just talking …

one thing that’s so important for our mental health and evolving as people is we have to start doing different things that allow us to actually function better as human beings, which means unlearning certain patterns and behaviours. That often takes things like meditation, emotional freedom techniques, trying actual different tools and practices so that we can unlock more subconscious behaviours and really heal past wounds so that we can move forward.” Wasylyk feels that people always experience some sort of shift after investing a certain amount of time. “It’s one of those things that you’re going to get as much out of it as you put into it.” Wasylyk has absolutely seen changes in her clients’ mental health months later after sessions with her. “I’ve had such a successful business,” says Wasylyk. “People have found something within themselves, whether it’s ignited more motivation and/or more selfcompassion or having the ability to shut off the busyness of their mind … that’s a big one especially in today’s society.

Through the pandemic some people felt the lack of connection. Humans are meant to have meaningful connection.

“We’ve thrived on it for hundreds and thousands of years.” “We as individuals need and crave community. We need to know that people are there for us.” There are many important reasons to take care of mental health, too, she said. A10» PEOPLE

Dementia cases cause multiple victims By Paul Kimball Brian and Shirley Miller tied the knot in 1967 and as part of their ceremony, they promised to be with one another and take care of each other ‘til death do us part’. Like so many young newlyweds, little did they know what that phrase could entail. Life was great. They raised a family while growing in their love for each other. For the most part, whatever they did, they did it together. They were more than husband and wife; they were the best of friends. When the children moved out, the empty nest never bothered them. It meant more time for each other. Forty years into their togetherness, the Miller family began to notice minor behavioural differences in Shirley. At first, not much thought was given to it, but two years later, it was felt that medical advice was needed. The news was not good. Dementia was setting in. Needless to say, the family was devastated. But in many respects, life went on as usual. Brian

and Shirley continued to travel. Although they had to put their motorcycle away, they still enjoy travelling by car. Despite the diagnosis, Shirley still enjoyed doing the things she loved, including spending lots of time with her man. Seven years later, in 2016, the roof caved in. It was a terrible year for the Millers. Shirley spent a lot of time crying. She was at that awkward stage where she was fully aware of what was happening with her mind, but felt the futility of being unable to do anything about it. As her behaviour became more and more unpredictable and as the need for care increased, Brian tried all sort of things. The last thing he wanted was to place her in a home, separated from him. He took her to Sunset Haven for a few hours once a week, where she used to work, to see if that would help. It did for a bit, but it became evident she needed more care. The sad day came when Brian realized that his wife had to be placed in a home. First it was the Galloway Health Centre

for two weeks of permanent respite. It quickly became apparent that what she needed was more than that. The closest facility dedicated for sufferers of dementia was St. Joseph’s Hospital in Estevan, an hour away from the Millers’ home in Carnduff. For a number of years, Miller drove out to see his wife three or four times a week. For the first few years, he was able to take her out of the facility, but then that became increasingly difficult. During the COVID restrictions, he’d take the drive to see her and often could only visit her through her window. That was very tough. This past August, Shirley moved to Sunset Haven in Carnduff, meaning that Brian could travel less and see her more. And he does. He visits her twice every day at meal times to feed her. She seems to really

enjoy this time together. Shirley is no longer able to communicate verbally and Brian doesn’t know whether she knows who he is anymore. But he made that vow to her in 1967, and it’s a promise that he wants and intends to keep. As long as they both shall live. Brian finds himself asking at times who the real victim of dementia is. The answer is not an easy one to answer for him. On the one hand, he looks at his wife and sees her as the victim, one whose quality of life has been cut short far too early. Other times, he looks at himself and his family, and wonders if they’re the real victims, having a wife and a mother who, for all intents and purposes, is no longer there. Breathing, yes, but that’s about it. Perhaps with dementia, there are multiple victims. The one who suffers

People all seem to be locked to our devices, she said. “I feel like I connect with people and it’s quite energizing,” says Wasylyk. “It gives me a great deal of joy to connect with clients.” Wasylyk is happy to lend an ear even if it’s just to give that person validation to be seen and heard. That alone feels good to a person. “One thing to realize within mental health support is that listening isn’t the only thing that we’re doing but it definitely starts there.” Many struggle in silence without receiving the necessary support needed to manage their condition while others may not even realize they have an illness and continue to suffer despite its devastating effects on their lives. Some individuals are more vulnerable than others and everyone faces challenges in life that can impact their mental health. “It’s very important that we’re open to see what works for us. Finding your person that you connect with is everything.” “At the end of the day, whether it’s a counsellor, doctor or a life coach, we’re all here to help.” To learn more about Morgan Wasylyk, go to her website www. seekerwellness.com.

Teagan Littlechief performs at White Bear First Nations By Gord Paulley Last Friday night, Teagan Littlechief, the 2022 Indigenous Artist of the Year Award winner at the Saskatchewan Country Music Awards, treated a good crowd to an upbeat performance at the White Bear Education Complex. Accompanying her onstage were guitarists Morgan Turk of Forget and Dustin Musqua of Kamsack. The audience enjoyed a great night of country and western music. Many of the songs played were classics, including Honky Tonk Women by the Rolling Stones, Me and Bobby McGee by Janis

Joplin, Neon Moon by Brooks and Dunn, and You Shook Me All Night Long by ACDC. Leslie Lonethunder was the master of ceremonies. He mentioned to her fans that it was Littlechief’s 1,657th consecutive day of overcoming her addictions. Chief Annette Lonechild thanked the crowd for attending on this night. Sara Littlechief, mother of Teagan, also came onstage to say a few words. “I remember Teagan when she was only three years old, singing You Are My Sunshine day after day.” Obviously, singing continues to be an im-

portant part of her life. Said Betty Jack, “Teagan is a beautiful family friend, and she sure didn’t disappoint her legion of avid fans. What an amazing performance as she left us with goosebumps and in tears. Every song she sang was powerful and from her heart. “I have never heard a more powerful rendition than [Carrie Underwood’s] Jesus Take the Wheel. She concluded the concert by performing You Shook Me All Night Long and Sweet Child of Mine [by Guns N Roses] which just happen to be my daughter Debbie’s favourite songs. Thank you, Teagan, for sharing

your night with us. All the very best to you and Gabe. We are extremely proud of you Teagan.” Audrey Young was also in attendance. “Teagan is absolutely fantastic. She has a voice that will take her to any goal she desires. We wish her the very best in all her endeavours.” Added Jan Rutten, “I cannot say enough about this girl and her talent. She has such an amazingly strong voice. She had the school gym rocking and captured our hearts with her more soulful renditions. She has overcome some huge obstacles in her young life, and there is no doubt in my mind

Performing at the White Bear Education Complex were Dustin Musqua, Teagan Littlechief and Morgan Turk. Picture by Gord Paulley. she was truly deserving of the Indigenous Artist of the Year award.” Littlechief is very dedicated to her family and extremely thankful of their support. Scar On My Heart was sang

in memory of her father Russell Standingready, who passed away in 2015. Her mother recently married Dave Poitras and the song Unchained Memory was serenaded to them.

Broadview-Kipling RCMP report from May 11-15 Submitted by Sgt. Ryan Case May 11: Police received a call from a resident of Kipling who had rented out a carpet cleaner to another resident of town. It had not been returned and the

owner wanted it back. Police located the cleaner and had it returned to the owner. Police also received a call because the caller was concerned for the mental wellbeing of a youth in Windthorst. Police were able to make

contact with the youth’s parent and the proper resources were provided to the mother. May 12: The detachment received a call from a female from Arcola and she was concerned for her mother’s wellbeing. Police located the moth-

er but then family said that they would handle it and asked police to no longer be involved. May 13: Police received a report of a disturbance at a residence in Kipling. Police attended and arrested a male who is now facing crimi-

nal charges as a result of the disturbance. May 14: Police received a call from an “ex” who was concerned about how she was raising her kids in Kennedy. There was no immediate risk to anybody but the caller was provided the

resources that they needed at this point. May 15: Police received multiple calls about a disturbance between two people in Windthorst. The situation resolved itself when one of the parties voluntarily left the area.

All about new Observer reporter Stephanie Zoer By Stephanie Zoer I was asked to write a short introduction about myself, but I’m finding this difficult. I would prefer to write about others and their events. My husband Frank and I have been married for 43 years and I often joke it’s because no one else would put up with him. We have a son and a daughter. We have lived in the area for about 14 years. We have also lived in

Ontario and Alberta, but now call Stoughton home. I love to stay busy. I enjoy helping my husband in construction with our company, FSK Construction Services. I tend to be a clown at home, as laughter is the best medicine, but Frank tells me I belong in the circus as a clown. On days off, when I get one, I build elaborate purple martin bird houses, and also do pebble art. In the winter months, I

will sit and knit or crochet while watching TV. I cannot just sit and watch the tube. I do enjoy a good hockey or baseball game, and I am a fan of the Calgary Flames and the Toronto Blue Jays. We try to go to Estevan Bruins games as much as possible as well. Gardening is another enjoyment I have. Nothing like fresh vegetables that are homegrown with the extras going into jars or the

freezer. My love for horses has always remained my passion, and I own a beautiful Arabian appaloosa mare. She is my time away from stresses in life. Over the years I have worked in retail, but due to going deaf in one ear, it is a difficult job now when there is surrounding noise. I am looking forward to sunny days, and time in the saddle and of course writing.

Stephanie Zoer enjoys being busy and always have projects on the go. Photo by Stephanie Zoer

Carlyle RCMP report for May 9-16 Submitted by Sgt. Dallyn Holmstrom How would you like to join our team here at the Carlyle RCMP Bed and Breakfast? The Carlyle RCMP currently has a need to hire more guards. Pay is $17.58 an hour. As a guard you will receive all the training you need. You will never have any handson contact with prisoners themselves and your only job will be to watch them to ensure they are safe. The job is very easy and stress free. Work is on a callin basis only. If you are called, you can say you’re not available. There is no expectation to work. If you have any interest in becoming a guard, please contact the Carlyle RCMP

at (306) 453-6707 or stop in anytime you can as we can show you around. The Carlyle RCMP said good-bye this week to a former employee and valued friend. John Pirlot passed away peacefully in his Carlyle home at the age of 87. John worked 12 years as a guard for the Carlyle RCMP and will be greatly missed. On May 9, Cst. Samowedziuk stopped a semi on Highway 9 near the White Bear First Nations that was travelling 112 kilometres per hour in an 80 km/h zone. During the stop, Samowedziuk discovered that the driver’s log books had been falsified and had been working over the hours regulated. The driver was charged and put out of service for 72

hours. On May 10, Sgt. Holmstrom, Cst. Zayats, and Nicole Gervais with Southeast Regional Victim Services attended the Gordon F. Kells High School Grade 10 classroom. The class received a presentation on drug and substance abuse as well as dangers and consequences of sharing intimate photos of themselves. The Grade 10 class was very engaged during the presentation and had very good questions for the presenters. We hope to get out and speak with more students soon. On two separate occasions this week, the Carlyle RCMP received calls of $20 worth of gas being stolen from gas stations in Carlyle. The RCMP located one of the culprits respon-

sible and is currently working on locating the second registered. The one owner located quickly returned to the gas station and paid for their gas to avoid charges. I realize the price of gas is crazy right now but that doesn’t give anyone the right to not pay for their fuel. A charge of theft on your criminal record really is worth more than $20. Please just remember to pay for your gas. On May 11, RCMP responded to a disturbance with a male and female fighting and yelling at one another. RCMP attended the residence and arrested an intoxicated male. The male was given a free safe night stay in Carlyle cells until he was sober. That same day, the RCMP stopped a 16-year-old female with a novice 1 licence in Carlyle. The driver had two passengers whom were not immediate family members. A novice 1 licence only allows drivers to have one passenger that is not a family member. The female was issued a $150 fine for the infraction. On May 12, the RCMP received a complaint of a male passed out while intoxicated on the sidewalk on Main Street in Carlyle. The RCMP attended the scene where two sheriffs from Estevan were watching over the male. RCMP members placed the male under arrest and transported him back to Carlyle’s threestar bed and breakfast. The male checked out the next morning once he had breakfast and was sober. On May 13, the RCMP responded to a break and enter at Moon Lit Cannabis in Carlyle. The culprits used rocks in a sock to break the front glass
