Carnduff ’s Bert Steenbruggen has no regrets By Paul Kimball

If you live around Carnduﬀ, you’ve met Bert Steenbruggen. Everybody knows everybody in small towns. But even if you don’t, chances are you have met or heard of him. At the time of this interview, he had just lost a close cousin and not too long before that a 100-year-old sister that he talked to on the phone weekly and a nephew to COVID. Every week, it seems like he’s losing someone he knows. As a result, he spends a lot of time reflecting on his life. Life hasn’t always been smooth sailing, but he will smilingly tell you that he has no regrets. He is experiencing the wear and tear of time, but he doesn’t complain. “After all, the alternative is no heck.” ‘Heck’ isn’t the word he uses, but you get the drift. Steenbruggen was born at home at the beginning of the de-

pression. He was the last of six children and is the only one still living. When he was 10, his dad was killed in a gravel pit accident. Life got oﬀ to a rough start, and wasn’t getting any easier. Jobs were scarce and often very unpleasant. He cleaned up garbage and coal ash and emptied outhouses. He got teased a lot about his job. On good days, he was called the town scavenger; on the bad days, kids called him far worse. Mockingly, they would hold their noses whenever stinky Steenbruggen went by. This led to some fights, which didn’t help the overall cause. He quit school in grade 9 because he hated it and focused on filling some of the gap that his father’s death had left. At 16, he got polio. The following year, the polio vaccine came out. Sadly, it missed him by one year. He worked hard to overcome his polio limitations, even play-

ing hockey. One night he had to take a teammate to the Gainsborough hospital. A nurse needed a ride home to Carnduff and he offered her one. She accepted even though he was a total stranger. His heart didn’t pitter-patter that night, but a year later, he married that nurse, Edith Shier, even though her sister felt that she should have held out for someone better. Their marriage lasted for almost 62 years. Three years later, Steenbruggen was a dad. There were some difficulties during Bernie’s birth, so the decision was made to stop at 1 child. That birth eventually led to three grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. He loves them all and talks of them with glowing praise. He also thinks the world of his daughter-in-law Claudia, seeing her as ‘God’s gift to us’. Tired of working for others, Steenbruggen decided to start up his

He borrowed money to buy four quarters of land, but it didn’t have a great opening chapter. His first crop was poor, but he survived by milking his cows and plowing snow for the oil companies. He persisted and the second year was much better. In the next few years, he added pigs to

the cows and crops he already had, plus more land and acquired several mules. He became a mule whisperer of sorts, breaking in the most stubborn of animals. In the 1970’s he had another hospital encounter. This time, in Regina, a man suggested that he set up a tire business at the Steen-

bruggen farm. The idea grew on Steenbruggen. For 29 years, he sold tires as he farmed and ranched and met many, many people. Perhaps that’s where you know him from. Things had come a long way from when he started out with those four quarters of land. A2 » STEENBRUGGEN

Did you get your Girl Guide cookies yet? By Stephanie Zoer Each year at this time, the Girl Guides sell cookies. These vanilla and chocolate treats are a big hit with people, and sales seemed to go well. Girl Guides were not in the Stoughton area for quite some time. Cheryl Lake was taking Guides to a unit in Estevan, which was the closet at the time. It was then that a district commissioner approached Lake to start a group once again in Stoughton. Lake thought it was a great idea, and the club was once again started. Girl Guides began in the early 1900s as a counterpart to the Boy Scouts. In 1927, the sale of cookies began. Amazingly enough, it was a huge hit and the tradition continued. Around 1936 the cookies were produced commercially and that is how the Girl Guide cookies came to be. Guides really started to blossom in the 1950s and 1960s. In 1967, Saskatchewan alone had

over 10,000 girls as members, but membership depleted in the late 20th century. The 1st Stoughton Guiding Unit is quite new, and only started in 2019. Things were going well and then COVID-19 hit. The 2020-21 season was completely done virtually. “It did cause issues as we are a rural area and internet at times can be an issue,” said Lake. Now they are back to regular meetings. The unit gathers at the Apostolic Church in Stoughton, which is located on the south end of Government Road. Ages five to 17 may join this girls club. Guides, Pathfinders and Rangers attend Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m., while Sparks and Brownies go on Thursdays at 4:30 p.m. Lake is the only leader and of course would love help with the nine members, although she was able to recruit a volunteer just in the last week. Girl Guides of Canada oﬀer young ladies to try out Guides during April until June for free. That way you get a taste

of what this unit is all about. Camping is a big part of this unit. They get training for this, from rolling your sleeping bag the right way, to making fire starters, and supplies that are necessary to take along. Along with this, they oﬀer badges that can be earned and crafts. Outings or picnics are also part of girls just wanting to have fun. But this is cookie season. The Stoughton unit orders cases upon cases, but they will not last long. These cook-

ies are in high demand. It only happens once a year and when they are gone, you need to wait till next year. The cookie sales help with the club’s funds. If you are interested in volunteering, go to girlguides.ca and follow the links to volunteer. If you want to join girl guides, registration is in June and also done online. They will resume in September once again. So, for interesting crafts and meeting with a fun group of girls, think about joining the girl guides.

Steenbruggen still visits farm daily « A1 He stepped back from active farming about 10 years ago, passing the torch to his son and grandson. He still drives out to the farm daily for coﬀee and quite often he hears the question, “Dad, Grandpa,

what do you think about this idea?” He enjoys his new role as farm consultant. Steenbruggen’s worst day took place in 2012, when Edith passed away after a one-and-a-halfyear battle with cancer.

He had lost his greatest love and his most faithful supporter. The last few years, he has spent much time in the suite that he loves at Sunset Haven, reminiscing of his 91-plus years of living. Life has been

hard but good; he has known sorrow but also much joy; he’s accepted life for what it’s been and continually comes away with this conclusion – “I have no regrets.” What a great perspective to have in life.

Dennis Feduk inducted into Saskatchewan Lions Hall of Fame for decades of service By Gord Paulley At their regular meeting on May 17th, the Carlyle and District Lions Club, together with invited friends and guests, were honoured to have one of their own recognized in a very special way. For the first time ever, a local member, Dennis Feduk, was inducted into the Saskatchewan Lions Hall of Fame. Feduk joined the Melville Lions Club in 1982 where he held the position of treasurer. He then transferred to Carlyle in 1984 where he has become a valued member and leader of the Carlyle club. With the Carlyle and District Lions Club, Feduk has served as both president and

secretary on three separate occasions. He has attended 10 Saskatchewan fall conferences, 4 multiple district conventions in either North Dakota, South Dakota, or Saskatchewan, and 3 USA/Canada forums. Feduk has also attended 2 international conventions, 1 in Las Vegas, Nevada and 1 in Milan, Italy. The 104th Lions International Convention will be held in Montreal this July and Feduk will also be attending. Feduk has received many prestigious Lions awards over the years including the coveted Melvin Jones Fellowship, a Judge Brian Stevenson Fellowship and a Saskatchewan Lions Eyebank Fellowship. He

has also received the Diabetes Canada Harry A. Neuman Award and an International President’s Certificate of Appreciation. He is a lifetime member of the Lions Foundation of Canada. Feduk retired from Enbridge Pipelines in 2017 after a long and satisfying career. He is still very active in the club attending many work parties. A talented welder, he built the club’s pancake barbecue, several BBQ fire pits, and several other structures including over 50 picnic tables. Now fully retired, Feduk’s favourite pastime is baking. In fact, the license plate on the back of his white Chevy Tahoe simply reads PIE MAN. He

“When the water starts boiling it is foolish to turn off the heat.” - Nelson Mandela

Sask. a victim of bad oppositions By Murray Mandryk There is a connection between bad opposition and bad government, although it’s seldom a simple one. What is generally true is bad opposition can lead to bad governments that get away with stuff, although it’s here where things immediately get complicated: What may be perceived by some to be bad government in the day — say big spending and debt to provide needed for infrastructure and to kickstart an economy or tight fiscal management to balance the book — is as easily criticized by oppositions as good policies. However, what may seem like bad policies at the time are what needed to be done and could only be done by a large government with a strong enough mandate to implement them. During the early1980s in Saskatchewan, there was plenty of added debt often caused by hare-brained investment schemes. Conversely, there was massive austerity measures in the early 1990s, presumably to counterbalance the big spending decisions of the 1980s. Like the decisions of the 1980s, it was argued at the time that tough choices were needed to get the province back on track. But as history has often demonstrated, the decisions to close a hospital or invest in a supposed jobcreating private sector project prove to be the right one. So the question becomes, why didn’t such projects get more scrutiny at the time? Why weren’t we aware the government was making poor spending choices? Well, the general answer is that we had small, ineffective oppositions that didn’t always provide enough scrutiny, although it quickly gets a bit more complicated. It’s also sometimes an issue of an opposition’s focus. Prior to departing the legislature, NDP leader Ryan Meili was asked what advice he had for his successor. Essentially, he warned the next leader not to become their own attack dog that’s always criticizing and not offering a positive alternative. This was a problem for Meili, but, again, it was a bit more complicated than that. Meili’s focus was often problematic health delivery equality and socio-economic issues problems that obviously contribute to crime, drug abuse and suicide. Unfortunately, what he didn’t often recognize is other problems in Saskatchewan. While focusing on the big, most dire concerns plaguing a minority in this province, it was often lost on Meili and his NDP that issues like good paying jobs, rural health care delivery and taxes have remained at the forefront. Of course, the public recognizes that in a place like Saskatchewan government can’t always provide everyone with the services and infrastructure and still delivery balanced budgets. In fact, the pubic here tends to be rather forgiving, unless government demonstrates why it doesn’t deserve such forgiveness. Governments — especially, big governments — get very good at hiding the things that would cause the average voter to question its decisions. If they are a big government, they tend to have the manpower and resources at their disposal to convince us otherwise. It’s rather easy to point out there are too many sick people, too many poor people and too much crime. It’s tougher to show why government is to blame. That requires a lot of detailed, hard work exploring every aspect of government spending. Was a foreign trip necessary? What did it cost and how was money spent? Did value for our money? The problem, however, is smaller oppositions have less dollars and resources available to research and then focus on such details. For years, Saskatchewan has suffered from big government, but it’s also suffered from small, ineffective oppositions.

It’s so much more than monkey bars

Shelley Luedtke I loved this time of year as a child because in addition to the sunshine and warm days it meant it was ball season. For many of my elementary school years my family lived in a small city where several diﬀerent teams were formed. Most of the ball diamonds were connected to schools in the city and it was always fun to check out what kind of playground equipment each school had. We would take note of the diﬀerences between our school and the others and decide which students were the luckiest based on what they had to play on at recess. We always hoped there would be a few minutes before or after practices when we could run over to the playground and try out different equipment. Most coaches rightly, if not disappointingly, kept us on the diamond. But

there’s just something so enticing about a playground. It beckons, and when it does, it sure feels good to give in and just have fun. On the surface playgrounds might look quite similar, but they can be decidedly unique to a child who can tell you where to find the best swings or who has the most daring monkey bars. I can tell you the fastest slide was at a beach in Summerland, the best merry-go-round was at Hasting’s Lake Bible Camp, and my favorite teeter totters were at Central School in Swift Current. When I was a child a playground was a given. Not only did the schools have them but parks throughout the city had plenty to play on. It’s not the case anymore as school boards, community associations and parent groups deal with safety concerns, maintenance issues and the cost of replacement pieces. I applaud the eﬀorts of all those raising money for new equipment at Outlook Elementary School. They recognize the importance of ensuring quality equipment is available for play. The school’s community council, local businesses and young entrepreneurs alike are working hard

and it matters, because there is something pretty special about a good playground. And it goes way beyond play. Swings teach us that the harder we pump the higher we go. So we need to set our sights high-but be prepared to work for it. Climbing structures beckon us to reach, to climb and to push past the point we previously achieved so we can strive for a higher point on the structure. We need to extend our hands and exceed our grasp but realize it is going to require risk and courage to make it happen. Our time on a teeter totter is a lesson in cooperation and equity as we learn the physics behind the tandem activity--first one makes a move, and then the other. To keep things moving smoothly we have to keep things in balance. Too much on one end keeps us mired in one place. More importantly, most things are best when we share them with others. There is always a line-up at the slide. Always. But when it is our turn we ascend the stairs rung by rung, get into position, and with a forceful push against the sides send ourselves sailing down the straightaway or around and around

the curves. It teaches us the importance of waiting for our turn, the power of expectation, and the thrill of throwing ourselves into an activity. So we need to remind ourselves of the value of patience, the tingle of anticipation, and the joy of doing something wholeheartedly and without reservation. Oh, those moments on a playground turn out to be about so much more than child’s play. Playgrounds impart important lessons and instill cherished values— whether we realize or not that’s what’s taking place. Are playgrounds just for children? Let’s hope not, or at least let’s hope those types of moments aren’t just for children. We need to reclaim points in our day that allow us to take a break, embrace fun, and play. To remember the joy of occasionally spinning out of control and laughing so hard we need to catch our breath. To set aside the plans and rediscover the imagination of daydreaming. To put down the devices and listen for the voices of those joining in on the fun. It’s necessary to leave many childhood things behind...but play should not be one of them. That’s my outlook.

Comedian is an advocate for mental health Making people laugh is a gift. Making people laugh for hours on end is a talent, and Big Daddy Taz has that gift and talent. He now lives in Winnipeg, Man. but originally came from Saskatchewan. He was born in Regina and grew up on a farm outside Saskatoon. Taz kept the soldout crowd on their toes throughout the evening after a delicious meal made by Gayla Gilbertson at the Happy Nun Café. As a young child, Taz always joked around. It was his way to deal with bullying and teasing he received throughout his life. Although the jokes helped to a point, it did create anxiety for the comedian as a young man. The anxiety became more intense and soon panic attacks would go with the anxiety and then depression. It was not a laughing matter. Taz became an advocate for mental health. “Men tend to hide depression,” he said. “The stigma that men need to be strong often makes them struggle alone.” He has suﬀered from this condition for a majority of his life and decided it was time to end that stigma and talk about it. Covid, like for so many people, created a

challenging time for the comedian. There were no acts to be had due to the restrictions and lockdowns yet the bills continued to come in. This had him struggling with depression. People would call Taz looking for his knowledge and help. He would freely give this to help others yet struggled with following his own advice. Often, people go to the doctors for a broken bone, or to the dentist for a toothache, yet avoid the doctor when one’s heart is broken. “This had to change,” said Taz. Incorporating mental health into his acts gets the message across, that there is nothing wrong with getting help. “We all need help at one time or another in our lives,” he said. Taz speaks to all ages, from pre-kindergarten to college and university students. He has toured all over North America to speak

on self-love. Even when we are diﬀerent, we still have to love ourselves and at times this becomes diﬃcult. Finding that trusted person to talk to is so important. Just to vent without opinion. When a person has anxiety, often they just need an ear. The comedian has cracked jokes since he was eight years old. It was natural for him to make people laugh. He got his start while living in Calgary, Alta. He was a bouncer at a night club there and when the opening act did not show up, Taz was approached about filling in. He jumped at the chance and this would be the start of his career. This is his 31st year of entertaining crowds all over. He has gone as far as Mexico and did have plans to tour overseas but Covid took care of that. The café has tried for two years to obtain Big Daddy Taz’s talents, but once again Covid would

Carlyle Cardinals ready to threepeat in the Saskota By Gord Paulley The defending Saskota Baseball League champions begin their regular season next week as they focus on winning their third consecutive title. Since 2004, the Cardinals have been league champions an incredible 11 times, being victorious in both 2020 and 2021. League play commences May 26th when the Cardinals travel to Estevan. All 9 teams are returning to the league this season and each squad will play 16 games, 8 home and home series. Teams returning are the Arcola Threshers, Carlyle Cardinals, Carnduﬀ Astros, Estevan D Backs, Es-

tevan Wolves, Kenosee Cubs, Kipling Royals, Oxbow Chiefs, and the Redvers A’s. Veteran player coach Brent McLean is looking forward to the 2022 season. “Nearly all of our regulars are back including Josh Hohn, Scott Nicholson, Cade Bendtsen, Danny Rasmussen, Brett Turgeon, Talen King, and Brock Andrew. The boys from Weyburn are also returning, as is pitcher Kody Rock. Adrien Riddell is also joining the team.” Every Father’s Day weekend, the Cardinals participate in a very competitive tournament in Saskatoon. On the July 1st weekend, they are hosting their invita-

tional Big Moose Tournament with games to be played in both Carlyle and Kenosee Lake. The season-ending Harbourne playoﬀ tournament takes place the July 22nd weekend and for the first time ever it will be held in Estevan. Provincials take place in early August. Scores and standings are updated daily on the Saskota Baseball League website through Ballcharts.com. The Cardinal home opener is Tuesday May 31st when they play host to the Redvers A’s. McLean also wanted to recognize the Carlyle and District Lions Club. “Lions Park is looking great! Our main diamond has an electronic

Celebrate Seniors She will always care for her mom, as long as she is able By Stephanie Zoer As the years go by, your parents get older and may need that extra hand at their home. How do we decide when that time is? This was not diﬃcult for Debbie Mclenagah when she spoke to her mom Ida Payton on the phone. She heard in her mother’s voice that she was tired, as her mom was caring for her husband and a friend of the family as well. Payton will turn 89 years old in June and would like to remain at home as long as possible. This was something she had told her daughter at an earlier time. Payton grew up near Saskatoon. As a young child she lost her brother as an infant. Her dad would pass away when she was three, while her mother was pregnant with her sister. Sadly, her sister also would pass away when Payton

was six years old, leaving her as an only child. Payton’s mother, Dorothy Sleet, would never remarry. She worked for the Saskatchewan government telephone service. She married her first husband Bruce Mclenagah and had six children. He passed away when he was forty-nine. Payton moved on in life, as she had to. She met and married Delbert Payton and has been happily married for 43 years. She has made Stoughton her home and has enjoyed her life here over the years working at the seniors home and cleaning houses. She has had struggles in her life. She lost a son and two grandchildren, but through this all she remained strong in her faith. Mclenagah is one of Payton’s children, and at the time was living in Taber, Alta. She was

a truck driver hauling sugar beets and various other items. She remained close to her mom by calling often and visiting as much as she could. Mclenagah also did long hauling into the United States and drove pilot trucks for wide loads. She was always working at something. She has always had a passion for horses and started riding when she was seven years old. She became the rodeo queen later on in life and did other horse related events. Mclenagah also has six children, with the youngest being a registered nurse. One day Mclenagah called her mom. Her mother sounded tired over the phone and asked her mom if she wanted her to move back home. Payton replied, “You have your own life and job.” After getting oﬀ the phone, Mclenagah was not sure what to do so she asked God. The answer was clear and Payton’s daughter began to pack for her return

home. At first it was not easy, Mclenagah explained. Her stepfather and his friend Ken also lived with her mother. Her mother had been caring for both of them. It was not long that Ken needed to have more care than what the pair could oﬀer, so he went to live in the Weyburn Home. It was not long after that Ken would pass away on his 91st birthday. Payton’s husband, Delbert would stay at his home for a short while, but he too became too much for the pair to handle. He now resides at the Stoughton Pioneer Lodge. They phone regularly and visit often. At the time Mclenagah arrived, Covid would hit and they both agreed it was a blessing to have each other during this time. Mclenagah said, “I’m not sure who it benefits more, mom or me.” During the lock downs the two would have tea parties, play games, watch movies, and play TV bingo. They both love to sing and Payton is an avid

Debbie Mclenagah and her mom Ida Payton enjoy their time together. Photo by Debbie Mclenagah reader. Mclenagah and Payton are members at the Apostolic church in Stoughton. They also have a love for animals. They recued a dog named Sadie and also have two large cats. Joanie the cockatoo visits regularly as well. Just recently, a couple of horses adorn their pasture, which Payton enjoys watching.

In the end, Payton said, “My daughter is a blessing. She does everything and she is a diligent worker. I am incredibly grateful for her.” We all make our own decisions in life, but this is one decision that the pair are happy they made. Mclenagah said, “I will look after mom as long as I am able.”

Happy birthday, Second Chance By Paul Kimball

In May of 2020, businesses were feeling the impact of COVID. People were staying home and restrictions created hardships for those who dared to go out. In the midst of that, Choose Life Ministry took a bold step and opened another Second Chance thrift store, this time in Carnduﬀ. That boldness paid oﬀ. On May 19th, 2022, the thrift store was thriving and it celebrated its second birthday. Linda Kimball is the manager of the store and opted to be thrifty in cel-

ebrating the store’s anniversary. She hung a few balloons, served some birthday cake and held a draw for a loyalty card to be given to one of that week’s customers. Congratulations Kaitlyn. Choose Life Ministry is a Christian biblicallybased organization that oﬀers help to young ladies who are struggling with addictions, selfharm and other issues that have taken control of their lives. The financial support to carry out this work comes from various sources, such as charitable giving, but a significant portion comes from the revenue gener-

ated by their thrift stores. Currently there are four of these stores. They can be found in Carlyle, Estevan, Fort Qu’Appelle and Carnduﬀ. Kimball is continually amazed at the donations that come in through the back door and the purchases that go out through the front door. The slogan for the Second Chance stores is ‘treasures beyond measure’ and she has come to appreciate how one can find value in something that another sees no value in at all. Currently she oversees three other staﬀ and close to 10 volunteers.

She’d like to thank all those who have supported her store with donations and purchases, who have helped to make the past two years so successful. One of the things she enjoys about managing the store is the opportunity of meeting the treasure-seekers. She’d like to invite you to drop into the store so she can meet you. Who knows, you might find a treasure for yourself, and assist Choose Life Ministry in developing the treasure of a changed life for a young lady who has come to them looking for help.

More veterinarians are always needed By Stephanie Zoer There is always a stream of traffic at Stoughton Veterinary Services. So, when Dr. Ann Y. Kernaleguen was approached by two students going to prerequisition veterinary school, she welcomed the extra hands. Kernaleguen said, “It is very helpful having the extra hands here.” Kernaleguen just returned back from muchneeded time off. Due to her dedication to her clients, she only took a brief time off, and she now had to do the catchup game with emails and phone calls. This veterinary service is always on the go and offers 24-hour emergency assistance. They have taken in strays to find them homes. Just recently a stray cat was brought in and upon observation it was clear he had a broken leg. The leg needed to be amputated as the break was too high up. He has since received a loving home. Jackson Goudy just completed his two years of pre-requisition and has been accepted into the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon. Goudy lives on his parents’ cattle farm close to Stoughton and graduated from the Stoughton Central School. His passion is cattle. He admits that being a veterinary was not something he had thought of or planned on. At the age of thirteen he took an A1 course for reproduction in cattle and wanted to continue with embryo transfer, but for this he needed to be a veterinary. He will take on both large and

small animals but loves his cattle. In order to get into Veterinary College, a two-year pre-requisition needs to be completed. He was accepted right away into the college out of 88 students. Only seven students would move forward at this time. Lynka Itogawa is the other student at the clinic. She has just completed her first year of pre-requisition and can apply for college as early as December. Born in Japan, her family immigrated to Canada in 2009. They live northeast of Stoughton and also raise cattle. Along with the cattle they have a herd of horses. Itogawa attended the Stoughton Central School and graduated from there. She loves horses and has trained them to be kids mounts. She admits at first it was diﬃcult - not the schooling but being away from the farm and her family. It was an adjustment for her to take the bus around the city but soon got a handle on it. Being a veterinarian is something she has wanted to do for awhile and received her encouragement from Stu Morrison. She enjoys

both large and small animals. Above attending college, Itogawa works part-time as a server in Saskatoon. Goudy and Itogawa said that Kernaleguen is amazing. They spoke very highly of her and said she is always on call. She knows so much and is such a diligent worker. She tries to help everyone. “It’s a wonderful place to work and the staﬀ is so friendly,” they said. “They are always eager to help us with their friendly attitude.” They admitted that this clinic is extremely busy. Pets and their people are coming and going throughout the entire day. Once the four years of veterinary college is completed it is their

Lynka Itogawa and Jackson Goudy hope to become veterinarians in the Stoughton area when their degrees are completed. Photo by Stephanie Zoer hope to find employment in Stoughton at the clinic. The care they

show the animals and their people makes for

an excellent place to work.

Maryfield Sunrise Villa happenings Submitted by Betty Walker We had card Bingo on May 10 and although I never won, it rained as good as money. Two days later, the playschool came with six little girls and two instructors. We did a craft which now adorns our windows. They sang us an action song and we all got high fives before they left. Thank you for coming and making our day. They were all so cute and full of energy.

There was more rain and finally some sunshine, which gets more of us out walking. Bird watching is fun these days as we identify some new birds at the feeders and we saw the first yellow finches. Monday afternoon brought us Keith and Gary to entertain us. As always, it was very enjoyable and we look forward to when they can come again. We played Bingo on May 17 and 19 and I didn’t win but that’s

okay, it was fun just the same. On May 17, we were also treated to a musical evening from the German Church with gospel messages and prayer. One young man played a harmonica. Thank you for coming and we look forward to your next visit. May 11 was my 93rd birthday and what a wonderful day it was. Dinner out, shopping and we all enjoyed a piece of cake from my daughter. There were pictures and cards

and lots of good wishes. Thank you everyone, Ienjoyed every minute. We have been kept busy watching the many orioles and humming birds at our window. We are seeing some outdoor activities and garden planning but we need more warm winds and sunshine. I’m hearing reports of the farmers seeding and stone picking which takes some stress oﬀ our farming community. We are always thankful for the farmers.

Southern Plains Co-op opens new liquor store in Carlyle By Gord Paulley The Southern Plains Co-op is pleased to announce that their new liquor store has opened in Carlyle. The newly constructed 3200 square foot building is located just north of their convenience store and gas bar at the junction of highways 9 and 13. Brittany Zahn is the liquor manager who also supervises the Estevan and Oxbow outlets. “We are pleased to be finally open in Car-

lyle and look forward to serving both new and existing customers. We employ six full time and part time staﬀ and are open seven days a week.” The Co-op obtained their provincial liquor permit in the spring of 2020. Originally, they planned on opening by the fall of 2021, but this was delayed due to the pandemic. B & S Construction Ltd. of Estevan was the general contractor and local trades were used wherever possible.

May we suggest placing your ad in color! Who says color doesn’t call attention to your advertisement?

It just did.

The liquor store has an incredibly large and varied selection of products to choose from including local and foreign craft beers, wines, and ciders. It has a walk-in cooler that guarantees the purchase of ice-cold beverages on a hot summer’s night.

The town welcomes the Southern Plains Co-op to Carlyle. Southern Plains Co-op Manager Brittany Zahn pictured in front of the newly opened liquor board store in Carlyle. Photo submitted by Gord Paulley

The older gals of the Galloway Health Centre By Paul Kimball It was Mother’s Day at Oxbow’s Galloway Health Centre this past Sunday. Around 2:30 p.m., seven of the long-term residents and their families got together for an hour and a half, celebrating the lives of the moms who live there. Gail Martindale, one of the activity co-ordinators, served as MC by leading everyone in a number of games that helped to get to know the moms better. She also served up a great cup of coﬀee or tea, and treated everyone to a delicious-looking and tasty plate of goodies.

One of the games involved the exchanging and stealing of candy. At a number of the tables where the families sat together, candies mysteriously went missing before the game began. Martindale replaced the missing candies, meaning that several enjoyed more candy than what was originally intended. Interspersed among the games were some motherhood stories, poems and readings which led to a few chuckles and brought back good memories. An hour into the festivities, a Special K moment took place: Kianah and Kyla Dyer entertained everyone with some tap danc-

ing, ballet and hip-hop dancing. At one point, as things began to wind down, Lynn Johnson paid tribute to his mother Betty, saying that she had to be a pretty special mom to have put up with him for 66 years. One of the staﬀ members agreed, joking that Betty has, in fact, put up with a lot in raising Lynn. Betty, who is quite the feisty nonagenarian, quickly and humorously showed her motherly heart – “Don’t you demean my baby.” It was an enjoyable afternoon and a nice way to honour the moms.

Read the Local News section to stay up to date on what’s going on around town.
