COVID separates Stoughton family for over two years By Stephanie Zoer

Moving from one province to another within your own country can be a challenge. You need to change over your health care card, driver’s licence and insurance, but you are still in the same country. Now, imagine what it would be like to move halfway around the world, travelling over 11,500 kilometres for about 15 hours by airplane to a new country. Ethel Mae Sequito is one of many immigrants that has done this. Sequito is from Metro Manila in the Philippines and came to Canada on Dec. 9, 2019. Her journey started much earlier. In early 2018, Sequito applied for the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program. This is an exceptionally lengthy process, and a consultant is hired to help with all the paperwork, and to make certain that everything is completed in a timely manner.

“People need to be careful when hiring a consultant because there are scammers, and they take your money and run,” Sequito said. Sequito would be accepted into the program to come to Canada with hopes of her husband Xavier Elli, their 20-year-old son Xurt Eleazar, 15-yearold son Xave Elrico and 10-year-old daughter Xianne Mae would follow in about six months. Sequito works at Stoughton’s Crossroads Inn as a cook, which is her first job, and also works part-time at Subway in the town. The Sequito family wanted to move to Canada for a better life. They lived in a city with almost two million people. The streets are busy and noisy and not safe for their children. The education system is extremely poor and the health care system expensive. Sequito said, “only the rich have vehicles due to the excessive cost of gas.” The average family makes $10

per day per person, and gas is $2 a litre. Canada would give them so much more than what their country could oﬀer them. Now, six months later the rest of her family was to make the trip as well, but this would not happen. COVID locked everything down and there would be no air travel. The separation would be diﬃcult, but they had no choice. Her family would remain in the Philippines, while her husband would homeschool the children, while handling the duties of both parents, and Sequito would be here in Canada, alone. Sequito said, “I struggled when speaking to my children via Skype or Facetime, as I did not know how long my family would be apart.” Finally, travel was allowed once again, and the wheels were set in motion for the family to come to Canada. On April 7, 2022, this family was finally together once again, but

The Sequito family is finally reunited after two long years of separation. Photo by Stephanie Zoer it had been well over two years since that had happened. Upon their arrival in Stoughton, the reunited family was excited to finally be in their new home, yet disappointed as the snow had all melted, and this is something they had never experienced. It is extremely hot and humid in the Philippines,

so the weather change was a new experience. Well luck was finally on their side, as a week later the first blizzard would arrive, and another snowstorm hit 10 days later. This gave the new arrivals a taste of what Saskatchewan winters were like. With their bikes in tow, outside they went to enjoy the weather.

Taking their bikes up the snowbanks and laying in the soft white fluﬀy stuﬀ. Sequito was afraid that the neighbour’s would think her family was crazy. Xavier said, “The air is so fresh and clean here, and it’s peaceful and quiet.” They are so grateful to be here and presently reside in Stoughton.

‘One day I just felt like running’ says Carlyle man By Gord Paulley Quiet and unassuming, 47-year-old Jason Tomaszewski has participated in many high-energy sports during his lifetime. He has been a bodybuilder for many years and in 2012 placed fourth in the Saskatchewan Bodybuilding Championships. In the spring of 2021, under the tutelage and prodding of good friend Jon Hammett, Tomaszewski decided to take up running. First, it was five kilometres a day, then 10 and then 20. This continued throughout the fall and winter as he steadily increased his distance and stamina. On May 14, again on the advice of his friend, Tomaszewski entered the Canada Goose Ul-

tra Marathon held in Regina. One could go for six, 12 or 24 hours, depending on each contestant’s goals. Sixty-one athletes registered and the event was run on a certified four-kilometre loop around Wascana Lake. Tomaszewski was among the 18 participants that chose the 24-hour event to see how far he could go. After an exhausting 20 hours and 52 minutes, he ran an incredible 101 kilometres. “My coveted goal was 100 kilometres, and I was able to do an additional dedication kilometre in honour of my late mother-in-law, Carole Reeve,” said Tomaszewski. “The race was gruelling, but the result was extremely satisfying. I drank gallons of Powerade and consumed high-energy

gel, fruit and pizza after every loop. I didn’t develop a blister on my foot until the final hour and was able to limp home achieving my personal goal.” In addition to long distance running, Tomaszewski enjoys hiking, camping, and canoeing. He loves living close to Kenosee Lake and Moose Mountain Provincial Park. Together with Hammett, Tomaszewski is now into cycling and has purchased a mountain bike. He has entered a Swamp Donkey adventure race, which is scheduled for September near Falcon Lake, Man. Entrants must run, navigate, bike and canoe to reach various checkpoints before the nine-hour cutoff and make it to the finish line. It is obvious to everyone that Tomasze-

wski enjoys his way of life and his achievement of many personal goals. “I’ve accomplished a lot in my life and like pushing myself to the limit. There is no doubt that with that hard work and dedication, anybody can do anything.” Born and raised in Alberta, Tomaszewski moved to Ontario in 1989. He moved to Carlyle in 1999 and lives on Fifth Street East. He is self-employed as a directional driller, primarily working for Lone Star Directional. Kristina is his 32-yearold daughter who lives in Ontario. He is married to Kathy, who is an administration officer at Artisan Consulting. They have two children. Sawyer, 14, enjoys karate and hockey, while Carter, 5, likes baseball and soccer.

The show must go on for the Lions Club fundraiser By Gord Paulley

At a regular club meeting in December, it was determined that the Lions’ annual supper and auction would not take place in March for the second consecutive year. The risks of the pandemic were just too great. This spring, a committee was formed to get the ball rolling on an alternative fundraiser. The Bromantics are a well-known Saskatchewan band that have an excellent reputation and loyal following. It is a sixpiece group that performs a tribute to the bands of the 1950s and ’60. Led by Tim Sedor, a committee was formed, and the club decided to proceed. The Bromantics were booked. This was an aggressive project for the Lions as dine and dances have been in steady decline even prior to the pandemic, but in this case the entire club unanimously supported it. Carlyle & District Lions decided to give it a go and Prairie Place in Arcola was booked for May 27. By that date, over 250 tickets had been sold and everyone was looking forward to a great event. The tables had been

set, the liquor had been purchased and many Lions club members had volunteered to do a specific duty. Rylan and Cindy Weir of Manor were the caterers. Late that Friday morning, Sedor received the news that the Bromantics lead singer had a health-related concern and they had to cancel. If it hadn’t been the lead singer, the show could have gone on. They sincerely apologized and Sedor, with his numerous contacts from booking performers at Carlyle Fun Dayz, started making calls. Early that afternoon, a magician from Indian Head was booked and it was decided to proceed with the show. Later that day, Sedor was also able to book a band out of Weyburn. The show was a go. Chester McBain is 64 years old and has been doing magic tricks since he was seven. His grandson was the assistant on this night. “I performed at Carlyle Fun Dayz a few years ago. I had nothing scheduled and was happy to help.” Ernie Parisien was the group spokesman for Switch, a rock and country band out of Weyburn. “We are a group of five that have been playing together for

over 15 years. I and two others have been there since we started. Our band rehearses every week so when we got the call, we were able to help. We were happy how things worked out and that the Lions were able to continue with the fundraiser as they had planned.” Sedor was pleased at how the club adapted to adversity. “While cancellation was possible, we really didn’t want to go that route. Ticket sales had gone well, the roast beef and pork were already cooking, and with finding alternative entertainment, we decided to proceed. We had a great crowd, the magician was entertaining, and the band was amazing. People danced to the wee hours and really enjoyed themselves.” In addition to the supper and entertainment, a 50/50 raﬄe was held with Duncan Brown the lucky winner of $1,150. Harry Laurent, owner of Arcola Building Supplies, was the high bidder on the Dennis Feduk pie auction. Sharon Fox purchased the Winnipeg Jets package. Despite the lastminute cancellation, those in attendance were pleased with the event. “It was a great

Photo by Gord Paulley evening,” said Colleen Fornwald. “The supper, entertainment and friends were all fantastic.” “It was a fun filled evening, thank you all for supporting Carlyle and District Lions. The food was great, Chester and Switch, both super entertainers,” added Pat Anderson. “We enjoyed

the evening. The entertainment was top notch. The meal was delicious. Great mix of people in attendance,” said Debra Laurent. From the ticket sales generated, it is obvious that the Bromantics are well known and admired. “The band feels terrible about not being able to attend and

promises to perform at a later date. Stay tuned as I am sure our club would like to give this another try,” said Sedor. The Carlyle and District Lions Club wishes to thank all the businesses that supported their Lions raﬄe and live auction prizes, their amazing Lions volunteers, and everyone that attended.

“Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement.” - Nelson Mandela

Shuffles need to be a job-hiring process By Murray Mandryk You need to apply some caution whenever you hear about how government should be run like a business. However, there are some similarities and common principles when it comes to hiring and promotion. Like in business, we need the right combination of experience, intelligence, talent and enthusiasm when we are hiring our managers in government to run things. This should be the things any premier is thinking about when he shuffles his cabinet, along with who possesses the best people skills. But the added problem is premiers have a talent pool from which to choose that’s limited to those in government caucus. Furthermore, premiers must adhere to regional and gender considerations. With that in mind, pity the limited choices Premier Scott Moe had to make in his comparatively large caucus. Framing his cabinet selection around Saskatchewan’s “never before opportunity” for growth and global exports, Moe stuck with pretty much the same cabinet as he had. Added to cabinet were Jeremy Cockrill (The Battlefords) as highways minister, replacing Fred Bradshaw, and Dana Skoropad (Arm River) as environment minister, replacing Warren Kaeding Jim Reiter gets the plum Minister of Energy job, replacing Bronwyn Eyre, who become the Minister of Justice and Attorney General. Former justice minister Gordon Wyant moves to Advanced Education, while former advanced education minister Gene Makowsky moves to social services minster to replace Lori Carr, who becomes Minister of SaskBuilds, Procurement, Minister Responsible for the Public Service Commission, and Minister Responsible for Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority. Ten of the remaining 18 ministers stay where they were: Donna Harpauer, Deputy Premier and Finance; Don Morgan, Crown Investments Corporation responsible for SaskEnergy, SGI, SaskPower, SaskTel, SaskGaming and SaskWater plus Labour; Dustin Duncan, Education; Christine Tell, Corrections, Policing and Public Safety; Jeremy Harrison, Trade and Export Development; David Marit, Agriculture; Paul Merriman, Health; Don McMorris; Government Relation and First Nations, Métis and Northern Affairs; Laura Ross, Minister of Parks, Culture and Sport, and; Everett Hindley, Mental Health and Addictions, Seniors and Rural and Remote Health. Meanwhile, 11 backbenchers get added legislative secretarial duties including Lyle Stewart (assigned to the premier and responsible for provincial autonomy); David Buckingham (SaskTel and SGI); Doug Steele (SaskPower and SaskEnergy) Todd Goudy (education); Ken Francis (trade and export); Terry Dennis (Ukraine Relations); Alana Ross (forestry); Daryl Harrison (value-added agriculture and livestock engagement); Jim Lemaigre (mental health addictions seniors ad rural and remote health); Terry Jenson (social services) and; Marvin Friesen (parks, culture and sport). That veterans with cabinet experience like Steven Bonk and Ken Cheveldayoff were left out seems a little strange. Similarly strange is the mandate Moe gave Eyre to “defend Saskatchewan interests” even if that means “we are going to have to use the Constitution to do it we will.” Former justice minister Gord Wyant has studied constitutional law and surely has more legal experience. Or is this shuffle about something other than getting the best people in the right positions to do the best job possible? It’s no small coincidence that Moe and this government are taking heat from those supporting Nadine Wilson’s new United Party for not taking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s federal government to court on COVID-19 restrictions. Much of that fight may be over, but it just might be that small parties on the right are beginning to chip away at the Sask. Party base. One would hope cabinet selection would be strictly limited to qualifications, but such hiring sometimes doesn’t work that way in politics.

The little book that told a bigger story

Shelley Luedtke Many of my friends had them. Mine was red, which made the pretty gold lock seem to stand out. They were five-year diaries, meaning there were just a few lines to write things down each day. I guess the idea behind it was getting a quick glance at life one, two and more years ago. I didn’t know any friends who kept the diary going for more than a few months, but as 12-yearolds we must have felt it was meaningful stuﬀ because we loved that all-important little lock, and the tiniest gold key attached by a small black loop. One Friday night in June, we had a sleepover at a friend’s house; a familiar occurrence since birthdays and end of year school activities had us spending even more time together than usual. We were good friends. Friends we trusted. That’s why I still wonder about an incident that occurred

that evening. Whether it was over-familiarity or a form of bullying, I’ve never quite sorted out. Decades later, it still comes to mind. We were at Shannon’s house, this group of 12-year-old friends, hanging out and having fun, like we always did, until it was time to grab our sleeping bags and settle in for a night of giggly conversation. But as Shannon lifted the pillow oﬀ her bed it revealed her navy blue five-year diary. Another friend grabbed it and said something like ‘anyone want to read all of her secrets?’ We assumed she was kidding, at least I was sure she was kidding, and waited for her to put the diary down, but she didn’t. The lock wasn’t fastened so she started paging through it and reading portions out loud. We were shocked. Shannon pleaded with her to stop and tried to retrieve it, but our other friend wouldn’t let her take it back. The rest of us sat there, surprised and confused by what was taking place. This was not the way our friend normally acted and maybe that’s what kept us from doing anything about the increasingly uncomfortable situation. Shannon was getting more upset. Then the girl holding her diary told her if she was really

our friend she wouldn’t make such a big deal about us reading it. It was an unfair statement to make, and certainly not something we concurred with. But we did nothing. The diary contained comments about parents, teachers and the boys in our class. Private thoughts. Words Shannon had put to the page that were meant for her alone. When tears poured down her cheeks it seemed to wake us all up. This was wrong. The other friend put the diary down and told Shannon she was sorry. She said she didn’t know why she had done that. The party continued, although something now felt different. We had done something hurtful to a friend and it left scars on her, and on the group, even if we didn’t fully understand our part in it at the time. Anti-bullying efforts have been in place in schools, workplaces, locker rooms and offices for decades yet Bullying Canada makes a sobering statement: Many children have a good idea of what bullying is because they see it every day. Despite the momentous efforts, the dollars spent and the years and years of good intent behind prevention, bullying is on the rise. An act occurs once every seven minutes on a playground and every

25 minutes in a classroom. One in five Canadian adults say they have been cyberbullied and 40 per cent of workers report being bullied on a weekly basis. Canada has the ninth-highest ratings of bullying amongst 13-year-olds. No question, the stats are discouraging. But there’s more to the story. Perhaps a reason to be hopeful. Almost 67 per cent of tweens have tried to help victims of bullying, and younger children are more likely to try and stop it than teens and older peers. Now it’s time for the rest of us to catch up to the kids. All the legislation and measures mean little if we aren’t all willing to acknowledge what we do and say that is hurtful, harmful and wrong. How much better if we stop quibbling over the definition and simply call out our own behaviour where we need to, and put a stop to it. I may not have recognized it for what it was as a 12-year-old, but I sure should today. The best thing I can do now is be more like the group of brave, well-informed children who are not only smart enough to see it, but are willing to stand up against it. We need to do better than relying on rules, ordinances or even little gold locks to do the right thing. That’s my outlook.

Report from the Legislature – end of session edition As the spring session of the Legislature closed, our government was able to celebrate a number of provincial accomplishments. Our population is growing, the economy is expanding and diversifying, Northern Saskatchewan has renewed investment, and Saskatchewan continues to lead the country in multiple economic indicators. If you listen to the NDP, none of this is good news. We want to recognize the hard work that Saskatchewan businesses

and global investors are doing. To support that eﬀort, the Government of Saskatchewan remains committed to creating an economic climate that will be sustainable for generations and create new jobs. This is Saskatchewan’s time to shine, and we’re happy with the progress made so far. In March, the value of building permits increased by 20.2 per cent month-to-month and by 45.7 per cent yearover-year. Merchandise exports increased by 34.4 per cent month-tomonth, 38.5 per cent year over year and 27.6 per

cent year-to-date. The value of manufacturing sales increased by 11.1 per cent month-to-month and by 44.6 per cent yearover-year. The value of wholesale trade increased by 28.9 per cent yearover-year. These key economic indicators cover a wide swath of sectors. The fact Saskatchewan is either leading or near the top in all of them says Saskatchewan’s economy is vibrant, diverse, and strong. Yet to be fully realized are the economic benefits that four major investment projects for Northern Saskatchewan

Broadview/Kipling RCMP report Submitted by Sgt. Ryan Case

May 23: The Broadview RCMP detachment and Traffic Services members conducted increased traffic enforcement from May 23-29 as part of Canada Road Safety Week. Enforcement was conducted on local roadways in order to contribute to the goal of having the safest roads in the world. On May 23, a total of 21 traffic infractions were issued to motorists in the detachment area, including the Kipling area. Motorists are reminded that traffic violations will be enforced yearround and not just on dedicated periods of time throughout the year. May 24: Police received a call regarding a neighbour dispute in Kipling. The caller said

that their neighbour was being mean and insulting them over the fence. Police advised that it was not illegal to mean to another person. It’s just not very nice. The caller understood and no further police intervention was needed. May 27: Police received a call from a gas station in Whitewood about theft from the store. A man entered the store, took about $30 worth of merchandise and left without paying. The man then left the area in his vehicle. This same person is a suspect in many gas and dashes in southeast Saskatchewan and southwest Manitoba. He is facing multiple theft criminal charges from this detachment and currently has an arrest warrant out for him. The male is 50-yearold Robert Leduc from Quebec. He is driving

will bring. Over $1 billion was dedicated to the forestry sector with 2,600 jobs expected. As we continue to advance economic reconciliation and increase Indigenous participation in the economy, our government created the Saskatchewan Indigenous Investment Finance Corporation. Its goal is to provide support First Nations and Métis businesses owners who want to invest in forestry, mining, oil and gas, energy production and value-added agriculture. These investments create economic diversity, support growing communities and lead to more high-paying jobs. This spring statistics show the number of Indigenous businesses in the province has been growing by leaps and bounds. With the support of organizations like the Saskatchewan Indigenous Economic Development Network, some areas have seen the number of Indigenous businesses double over the past decade. Just this week, our

government joined with Whitecap Resources and Federated Cooperatives Limited to begin a study that will analyze commercial-scale hydrogen opportunities. Saskatchewan has been at the forefront of carbon capture utilization and storage. This technology allows our province to potentially tap into the blue hydrogen market that uses steam to extract hydrogen from natural gas. With increasing global use, hydrogen projects are in high demand. The study will accelerate the private sector’s interest in our province and the emerging hydrogen market. Last fall, policy commitments were announced to advance opportunities for an infrastructure hub in the Regina-Moose Jaw Industrial Corridor. A hydrogen/carbon capture hub in this region could allow for the development of an entire, commercialscale hydrogen supply and demand chain in Saskatchewan. Those are just some of the projects

currently underway in Saskatchewan reflecting the confidence that private investors and multi-national corporations have in our province. They can invest anywhere in the world, but they choose to invest right here. During this spring sitting, our government presented a budget that highlighted Saskatchewan’s improving finances and provided a clear path to balance. We made key investments in healthcare, education and mental health and addictions. We have crafted policies that will expand the economy, facilitate new investment and allow everyone to benefit. This summer, we look forward to connecting with you. After two years of emails and phone calls, we’re excited to have more face-to-face conversations again. Chatting at the fair, the rodeo, on coﬀee row or in the constituency oﬃce can helps us plan for the future and meet the needs of a growing province.

Stoughton man goes to Africa for the big hunt By Stephanie Zoer East of Stoughton, there is a unique farm, which does not have your ordinary farm animals, except for the five dogs and his domestic cats. Chris Cheater is an experienced outfitter, and it has been his life for 20 years, but that is not all he does. He raises elk, wild boar, wild turkeys and pheasants. The herd of 57 elk is quite large with long legs. They are actually called wapiti, which means whitetail, and are located in North America. Cheater has raised elk for 30 years, and genetics in his herd are most important, providing quality hay, minerals and salt to ensure the herd stays healthy. Elk cows reach 600 pounds, as the bulls are double that at 1,200 pounds. A cow’s pregnancy is nine months. Cheater rarely knows when they deliver, as they sneak oﬀ to the trees and return with a calf. This usually occurs in June. The massive antlers grow larger every year as the bull elk mature. It does not take them long to grow, either. Cheater said one can see the growth of the antlers daily by four to inches inches, and they lose their racks yearly. When the new antlers begin to grow, they are soft and velvety. In June, these velvety antlers are sawed oﬀ. Cheater said, “It does not cause them pain; it’s like us cutting our nails.” This form of antler is immediately frozen. From Saskatchewan

alone, a sea-can full can be shipped to China. There it is ground up and made into a supplement for joint and arthritis pain. Once the antlers have grown to maturity and fall oﬀ, they are stored indoors to stop the sun from bleaching them white. They are wanted in their natural colour for furniture making. Elk also have pure ivory teeth. They are used for jewelry and shipped to Montana for pieces with Montana silver. Cheater’s herd is checked yearly. His homemade shut was built just for elk. It is all electric powered, with a floor that rises and sides that drop down for easy access. Elk do not mind the enclosed area at all. He has more unique animals in a herd. Cheater also raises wild boar. In order to do this, he must have a government inspected enclosure. A three-foot trench is dug with chain link fencing attached, and then the trench is closed in. For added insurance, an electric fence is also around the inside of the large pen. These wild pigs are not like regular pigs. They do not like a small area, and if it is too small, they will kill their young. Boars are also not left with the herd. They too, will kill the young and tend to get lazy and not do their job. Cheater had just received 15 piglets in the two days before. Sows close to delivery go into the shelters and hide their young in the deep bedding for a couple of days. It is at this time that the sow

is overly aggressive, and they should be left along. Boars reach 600 pounds and their tusks easily grow to six inches. They are intimidating. It takes them five years for the tusk to grow to the outside of their mouth. Cheater’s wild boar meat is in huge demand. He ships across Canada and he at times struggles to keep up. The Happy Nun Café spoke highly of the product. Last year alone he processed 95 boars. It is his hope to increase his herd, due to the demand. When these pigs are processed, they dress out at half the weight. They have a natural two-to-three-inch thick armor along their sides to protect them in fights. Cheater is an avid hunter and is now oﬀ to Lac La Ronge where he has a bear camp. It’s located 250 kilometres north of Prince Albert. Lac La Ronge is a Glacial Lake, which sits on the edge of the Canadian shield. His bear hunts usually start in April and go until the end of June. They start again in August and continue into October. This has been a big part of Cheater’s life for 13 years. Approximately

This chocolate-coloured bear is over 600 pounds and 16 years old. Photo by Stephanie Zoer 30 Americans make the trip yearly to seek out their black bear. Each booking lasts for five days. For each bear that is hunted, a tooth is extracted and sent into the government biology department for accessing. It is also how they determine age. The blacker the middle of the tooth is, the older the bear. The oldest one being 32 years. Cheater’s dad Don was also an outfitter

and bush pilot for the same area. He has flown into places like Hudson Bay. Don began in 1963 with hunting and fishing, with his first clients being Neil Armstrong and Johnny Cash. Cheater has hunted all over the U.S., but also in Africa. He said this was an amazing experience. There he tracked blue wilder beast, zebra, giraﬀe and more. He has the proof on his wall. He

went on to say the village of 50 people was grateful when he took down an old extremely aggressive giraﬀe. He stood 17’2” and provided 1,700 pounds of meat for the village people. Zebras also have an aggressive attitude. So, if you are a hunter and want a distinct experience, Cheater can arrange that for you. Hunts can be set up for elk, wild boar and bear.

The Fab Five graduates of Manor School By Gord Paulley

On May 27, five young women of the Manor School graduated before a crowd at the school’s gymnasium. Rylan and Cindy Weir catered a delicious supper with an estimated 150 people in attendance. Caydence Chapman is among this year’s graduates. She has always had a passion for sports. Early in her life she played minor hockey and was involved in volleyball and badminton throughout high school. She plans on taking a year oﬀ and joining the workforce. Presley Wilcox takes great pride in her academics and was a member of the Gordon F. Kells High School

leadership team in Carlyle until joining the Manor school in Grade 11. She has been on the honour roll since Grade 7. Wilcox will be enrolled in elementary years education at the University of Regina. Shay-Lynne Englot has been a member of the SCC, SRC, yearbook, mentorship and drama clubs. She has also played volleyball and badminton. Englot plans in enrolling at the University of Regina to obtain a bachelor of arts degree in psychology. In addition to playing badminton and volleyball throughout her high career, Hannah Littlechief also enjoys writing, painting, singing and playing the piano. She plans on

attending the University of Regina this fall for social work. Since transferring from Wawota School in February, Riley Klein has been involved in hockey, gymnastics and softball. She plans to take a year oﬀ after graduation and then apply to a trade school. Michelle Cundall was the master of ceremonies and Robert Mitchell the guest speaker. Mitch Wilcox is the proud father of Presley, who was valedictorian. “I am in awe of the intelligent, graceful, beautiful woman that my youngest daughter has become. I’m looking forward to what comes next. I’m very proud of her,” he said.

A night to remember for Redvers grads By Paul Kimball Unfortunately for the classes of 2020 and 2021, COVID-19 prevented public graduation ceremonies, forcing schools and graduates to hold virtual commencement exercises online rather than in person. Grads were quite limited in celebrating their achievements and

receiving the recognition that they were due. Consequently, much creative thought went into planning, resulting in things being done outside the box. It wasn’t quite the same, but grad ceremonies became more unique. This year, graduating classes were able to have the best of both worlds. They were able to make use of the creativity of

the past two years and add that to what had been done traditionally in the pre-COVID years. In Redvers, graduation day was May 27. The celebrating started a week earlier, with the Grade 12 classmates getting together every evening at various homes to share memories and celebrate. The night before the grad, a

scavenger hunt took place for the graduates. It was a week full of activities. Then the big day arrived. At 5 p.m., graduates and close family members gathered together for dinner. The grads then hopped onto a few trailers and were paraded through Redvers, modelling their graduation garb and giving the town the opportunity to honour them. The parade ended up at the school just in time for the oﬃcial ceremonies to begin. Mackenzie Chicoine and Jaycee Gervais emceed the evening which showcased the graduates and their achievements. Altogether, 25 graduates shared in the accolades. Highlights of the evening included the singing of O Canada by one of the class members, Jenna Aulie, a keynote address by Todd Butler and the handing out of diplomas and awards. A slide presentation brought back memories

valedictorian address and then after a farewell address by Jade Krainyk and Sam George, the night was over.

Stoughton soccer fun tournament creates great times By Stephanie Zoer The Stoughton Soccer Club hosted a fun tournament on May 28 and 29 in the town. The weather was great with sunny and blue skies. The rain held oﬀ until the last game at 4:30 p.m., as this was a rain or shine tournament. Beginning at 9 a.m. with the first of 20 scheduled games, three soccer fields were set up with bright green tents along the side lines for the players and coaches to take shade from the warm sun. The under-7, U9 and U11 teams played on Saturday. At the end of each game, the coach from the team would select an MVP player from the opponent’s team. There were 21 teams entered into this fun event, and it was at no cost to the teams as this was covered by the donations received by businesses in the area.

Erin Clark is founder and president of the Stoughton Soccer Club, which began in 2015. She felt it was important for her boys to play soccer and soon had the interest of other families in the area. Clark loves soccer and was a player for Team Manitoba in her younger years. Soccer ran in her blood, as her father Gary Aubert played for Canada on the national team in 1973. He earned one cap and also scored a goal. Since the organization began, each year has seen 100 kids register for the sport. Ages range from three up to 18 years. They also have an adult team. Clark’s whole family is involved, with her children playing and her husband Rory taking on coaching. They are also the owners of the Stoughton Meat Market in Stoughton. With three soccer fields on the go throughout the day, the well-planned

tournament brought out family and friends to cheer from the side lines and offer support while the youngsters played. The friendly and fun atmosphere created an enjoyable day for players and fans. A well-stocked concession stand located indoors offered great food and treats. It proved to be highly successful with all proceeds going towards the local soccer club. Throughout the day, one could hear the laughter of children as they blew bubbles or had a sideline game in the practice field. “This club wouldn’t be possible without the wonderful volunteers, the amazing coaches and the generous donations from the businesses, and the diligent board,” said Clark. Each game required two referees as well, with a mix between first-time referees and experienced officials.

Stoughton under-7 soccer coaches and players did stretches before their game against Vibank. Photo by Stephanie Zoer Unfortunately, the skies opened up Saturday during the evening, dumping more than 75 millimetres of rain to the area, and the rain continued into Sunday. Although the tournament was rain or shine, the soccer fields turned into swimming

pools and the second day of the tournament needed to be cancelled. It is a decision that is not made lightly, but the safety of the players is primarily the first concern. Now the task of removing all the equipment remained and it was cleaned up in the

rain by dedicated help. The remaining games of the tournament for the U13 and U15/U18 teams will be rescheduled for June 5 with a 9 a.m. start time. The same schedule will be followed with a fun skills competition at 3 p.m.

Minor Ball Day in Carnduff everything but minor By Paul Kimball

May 28 was a megaday in Carnduﬀ. It was Minor Ball Day and hundreds came out to play and watch. One welcomed attendee was the sun, who had been indicating all week that it would stay home. The rain, who had been threatening all week to attend, chose to be a no-show. The sun did eventually go home and the rain

finally came, but only after the last outs had been recorded. It was a great day for baseball. Teams came from Redvers, Carlyle, Moosomin and Oxbow in Saskatchewan, and Boissevain and Deloraine to join Carnduﬀ ’s teams. Boys’ and girls’ teams ranging from under-9 to under-18 participated in the tournament, which began at 8:30 a.m. and wound up around 7 p.m. Carnduﬀ ’s facilities were in prime condition, reinforcing their status as one of the very best baseball complexes in Saskatchewan’s southeast corner. No trophies or awards were presented as the purpose of the day was simply to enjoy

Levi Knight did not disappoint wrestling at home By Paul Kimball Professional wrestling made a stop in Carnduﬀ on May 29. It wasn’t the WWE, but the fans would tell you it was pretty close. Fast Centennial Arena was the venue and about 350 came out to cheer and hiss. There were five matches, but the one of real interest was the main event which featured a local wrestler Levi Knight (real name Levi Day). Other matches pitted “Headline” Shaun Martens against Travis Cole, Tyler James went head-to head with “The Canadian Rottweiler” Kid Kash, “Hotshot” Danny Duggan squared oﬀ with Canadian Goose, and “Big Balls”

Adrien Burton battled with Kevin Cannon. The feature match saw Knight go toe-to-toe with Jacked Jesus. It was quite the event as the wrestlers battled it out. Many a time, one wrestler came close to ending the match, with his competitor escaping the pin just in the nick of time. The third bout between Duggan and Canadian Goose ended on a controversial note. It appeared that Duggan had won, much to the chagrin of the fans, but the sharpeyed Irwin R. Schyster, a wrestling legend with the WWE, came from his seat and pointed out a chain that Duggan had illegally used and the decision was

reversed, much to the delight of the crowd. Then came the main and final match. Kids lined up to welcome Knight, the hometown favourite. As the bout started, it appeared that Knight was much overmatched. Whatever he did, Jacked Jesus had an answer. The match seemed to take its toll on both wrestlers, but the local boy seemed to find a second wind and before one could say, “Jacked Jesus must be getting some divine assistance”, Knight’s opponent found himself on his back for the count of three and the match was over. The crowd went wild as Levi Knight’s arm was

raised in victory. Carnduﬀ was the last stop of a four-day tour that saw Canadian Wresting Elite land previously in Prince Albert, Yorkton and Regina. CWE began in 2009 in Winnipeg. It was started up by Danny Warren, who wrestles as the villain Hot Shot Danny Duggan. Prior to the COVID days, tours often ran for 40 days. They are slowly getting back to that hectic pace. Live events are CWE’s specialty and they focus on small-town Canada, although they do enter larger markets occasionally. They last visited Carnduﬀ this past September. As a rule, some of their pro-

Referee Jade Leonard making sure all was legit as the Canadian Rottweiler found himself in a tight spot. Photo submitted by Paul Kimball ceeds help local organizations. On this visit, the Carnduﬀ ladies’ ball club was the beneficiary. Special thanks to Mike Wiseman of Moosomin who kept the evening go-

ing smoothly as ring announcer. Normally a ref, a recently broken neck prevented him from doing that this time around and he did an exceptional job as the evening’s host.

Stoughton athletes move on to provincials in track and field

Yveian Orpiano is one of the aggregate medal winners at the district meet. She will be entered into the 100 metres, long jump, triple jump, and high jump. Photo by Derek Mercer By Stephanie Zoer It was a cool 14 C on May 18 when 21 students from the Stoughton Central School went to Weyburn to compete in the South East District Athletic Association west regional track and field event. These athletes from Grades 7-12 took part in 65 events throughout the day, and 26 of them moved onto the district meet on May 25. With competition being strong on May 18, this did not stop the Stoughton Bulldogs from working harder and this proved to be worthwhile at the end of the day. The young athletes took home 20 first place finishes, 11 seconds and eight thirds. Records were broken by two of the students. Easton Berner set a record for the senior boys’ quads, while Christian Vogel received the record for the high jump. The peewee boy jumped 1.51 metres. A n o t h e r accomplishment was Yveian Orpiano and Brighton Coderre, who will represent Stoughton for the relay race at the district meet. To finish oﬀ this exciting day, four students were awarded the aggregate medal. A

Shelby Vogel will represent junior girls in the javelin. Photo by Derek Mercer perfect score is 40 points, and they were not far oﬀ. Abby Coderre had 30 points for peewee girls, while Vigo Orpiano received 34 points for peewee boys. Brighton Coderre chalked up 34 points as well for the intermediate girls, while Yveian Orpiano had 38 points for the senior girls. The four athletes are cousins. The excitement continued as 15 athletes qualified for district meet for track and field in Weyburn on May 25. Temperatures were much warmer for Stoughton that day, but the weather did not seem to be a factor for the 15 students. Districts is a qualifier

for provincials, and only the top two of every category would go on to represent their school. Nine of the fifteen students from the Stoughton school qualified for provincials. “They all worked hard, and some moments were pretty intense,” said coach Derek Mercer. “It is not a small feat to get to provincials, and the competition will only get stronger.”

Mercer went on to say provincials will be diﬃcult, as the best of the best will be there. These athlete’s all placed first or second in their events and will represent their school at provincials in Regina at the Canada Games Complex on June 3 and 4. The following students will take part in the track and field meet. For intermediate boys, Brighton Coderre will

the 800 metres and relay, along with Carter Goudy for the relay. Jaxon Tanner will do his part in discus and javelin, while Easton Berner is in relay. Yveian Orpiano has four events to compete in, the 100 metres, long jump, triple jump and high jump. She is also an aggregate medal winner.

Envision’s 50/50 for a Cause underway, read how to buy tickets By Ana Bykhovskaia

Envision Counselling and Support Centre is raising funds to keep helping the residents of the southeast to the best of their abilities. The 2022 edition of Envision’s 50/50 for a Cause is now underway. And while it’s serving a great goal, the raffle will also make someone up to $42,500 richer. Envision will receive the other half of the money raised, with all of it staying in the southeast. Ticket sales started on May 25 and will go until June 8. The grand prize draw will take place on June 10 at noon. Laura Melle, Envision’s assistant executive director, said the first days of the fundraiser went well and as of Monday morning, the total was over $5,500. “We’re off to a good start. And we’re always so amazed by the support that we get from the community,” Melle said. With offices in Estevan, Oxbow, Carlyle and Weyburn, Envision Counselling and Support Centre serves a broad region from the Manitoba border to Milestone, and

from the U.S. border to Moosomin. Their programs are available through their offices, but they also travel to people that need their help. “We at Envision are always growing and expanding. And we are a non-profit. So all of the services that we offer are totally free to everyone, to all participants that come in for support or services. Whether you come in for one appointment, or you come in for 25 appointments, everything is always completely free.” They have various programs for different age groups and all kinds of issues people may encounter. “The biggest message if someone’s struggling, is call because we have a program that you can fit into and if not, we’ll definitely get you connected to something,” Melle said. They have programs for teens and older people, they have a support system for victims of domestic abuse, and they help people in many other situations. “Our Bridging the Distance program was launched during COVID

and was geared towards anyone over the age of 55 that was struggling with being isolated or even just loneliness, anxiety and depression, [we provide] lots of grief and loss counselling, as well. That program is still up and running. And it is funded by the Community Initiatives Fund,” said Melle, giving an example of the services they deliver. “But we’re always growing, and we always try to offer more than just what we’re funded for. So the fundraising money helps in that aspect. [Besides often] we’re given the funding for a period of time, and we want to make sure that we can continue to offer these services because we definitely did notice in COVID that we need to offer something to support the older population.” Envision has recently launched its latest program – the family intervention rapid support team. “It really allows us to respond very quickly when people are needing support. And it helps to eliminate that barrier of people having to

Envision was selling 50/50 for a Cause tickets at Thunder City Power and Leisure on Saturday. Photo by Pat Pasloski wait as we’re able to respond promptly,” Melle explained. They are a governmentfunded organization, but government funding only goes so far, Melle said, and they do their best to cover most of the needs of their service area, which sometimes can be diﬃcult with the rising costs. So, the funds raised through 50/50 help fill some of the gaps in their budget. Fundraiser organized by Golden West

Radio Estevan radio stations in support of the counselling nonprofit sees ticket sales happening during live on locations throughout the communities in the southeast, as well as at Envision’s oﬃces and online via e-transfer to envisionraffle@gmail. com. Tickets are one for $20 and six for $100. And Melle underlined that all money they raise stays in the communities they serve.

“The money that we raise stays right here in our community … And Saskatchewan has the highest rates of intimate partner abuse across all of the provinces. So if you haven’t been aﬀected, I can almost guarantee that someone you know has been aﬀected. So, there’s definitely people out there that are struggling and that need the support and the money are staying here in the community,” Melle said.

Carlyle RCMP report - best wishes to departing officer Submitted by Sgt. Dallyn Holmstrom This week the Carlyle RCMP is losing a valuable member and great friend. Const. Alexa Dubeau is moving on in her career as she is transferring to the Saskatchewan Relief Unit for the next two years. In this unit she will be providing relief to detachments throughout the province that are short of members. Const. Dubeau arrived in Carlyle on Feb. 5, 2018, when she graduated the RCMP Depot. She entrenched herself in the community as she volunteered and coached youth sports teams and always was the first person so participate in community events. Alexa, you will be missed. Holmstrom’s Rant Come on adults, let’s be better. My rant this week goes hand in hand with my rants about seatbelts. Sorry but actually not sorry if this oﬀends anyone, but when are people going to realize that kids’ car seats are there to keep the most important people in our lives safe. They rely on us adults to keep them safe as they don’t know how. Why would you mount a cat seat wrong in a car, not secured in at all, use any car seat in

the front of a car that has a passenger side airbag, use a forward-facing car seat for a baby who isn’t big enough, not use a car seat/booster at all for a child, let a child bounce around the vehicle totally unrestrained, or let your child sit on your lap as you drive? Yes, we have seen all of these things in the past year here at the RCMP. I really hope none of these people get into an accident as each and every child would be seriously injured if not worse. Also, the excuse that you’re in town driving slow or only going a short distance is a terrible excuse. Just remember you cannot and do not have any control over other people or vehicles on the road. Please take care of your precious cargo. Also, if you ever need help installing or have questions about child car seats, please stop in and let one of the RCMP child seat technicians help you. Please call and set up an appointment if you would like to explore this option. It was a busy week in traffic enforcement this past week and both Carlyle RCMP and Traffic Services were busy enforcing traffic laws. Thirty-four tickets were handed out, including 12 warnings for speeding. The highest speeding fine of the week went to a male driving a Ford

F350 who was clocked at 129 kilometres per hour in a 90 km/h speed zone. This carried a fine of $316. Three fines for using an electric hand-held device while driving were also given out, which carried fines of $580 each. On May 20, the Carlyle RCMP responded to a break and enter on 11th Street at the White Bear First Nations. The door was pried open and several items were smashed, including a TV, mirror and lantern. A hammer was left at the residence after it was broken into. RCMP Forensic Identification Section attended and processed the scene to try and determine the culprit responsible. The Carlyle RCMP is requesting anyone with more information about this incident to contact the Carlyle RCMP by calling 306453-6707. Information can be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submitting a tip online at www. saskcrimestoppers.com On May 21, the Carlyle RCMP received a report of a hit-and-run collision that took place on White Bear the previous day. The collision took place near house 83 on White Bear First Nations when a black 2014 Chevrolet Equinox was hit on the back-passenger

door. Carlyle RCMP is requesting anyone with more information about this incident to contact the detachment or Crime Stoppers. On May 22, Carlyle RCMP responded to a collision between a deer and a red Dodge truck. The deer was injured during the collision and the RCMP was forced to put the animal down. The Dodge truck was still drivable after the collision. No one was injured during the collision. On May 22, Carlyle RCMP received a report of a missing threeyear-old female from a residence in Carlyle. The three-year-old was located a very short time later inside the neighbour’s house, playing with some toys. The toddler was returned to her parents safe and sound. On May 24, Carlyle RCMP responded to a disturbance at the Arcola Hospital. An intoxicated male was at the hospital and was being very belligerent with hospital staﬀ and was refusing to leave. RCMP attended and arrested the male for being intoxicated in public. Luckily for the male, there was lots of vacancies at the RCMP Bed and Breakfast and the male received a free night’s stay. On May 26, Carlyle RCMP responded to a disturbance at a hotel in

Const. Alexa Dubeau is transferring from the Carlyle RCMP to the Saskatchewan Relief Unit. Carlyle. It’s still unclear to RCMP what exactly took place beside the fact that an intoxicated male was yelling and causing problems by waking people up. When RCMP arrived, the intoxicated male was located in the hotel hallway in his underwear. The male was arrested and secured his one freenight stay. On May 27, RCMP responded to a carbon monoxide alarm going oﬀ at a residence in Carlyle. SaskEnergy attended the residence and it was determined that the batteries needed replaced in the carbon monoxide detector. I’m only putting this in
