Kenosee Lake Bible Camp plans major expansion

By Gord Paulley

On the west shore of beautiful Kenosee Lake, the Kenosee Lake Bible Camp has been in operation since 1960.

At that time, they amalgamated two older Bible camps, one which originated from Griffin and one from Maryfield. KLBC is a summer camp for kids of all ages.

Clay Wiens is the ministry director, and his wife Tracey the camp secretary. Brad and Allison Weber serve as executive directors.

The camping season begins on June 1 with various daily and overnight field trips planned by local schools in the area.

Participants include students from Yorkton, Broadview, Arcola, Maryfield and more.

Weekly camping commences the first week in July and runs until Labour Day. Each week during the summer there are up to 120

kids registered and supervised by nearly 40 volunteers and summer missionaries.

Children enrolled at the camp try new things, make new friends, learn more about God and have a lot of fun. There are various activities including wakeboarding, paintball, archery, tubing, waterskiing, fishing, wall climbing, outdoor living and camp-wide games. One can also participate in drama, scrapbooking, crafts and videography.

Presently there are more than enough cabins and spaces to accommodate their participants. KLBC has a kitchen, a chapel and a large indoor swimming facility with three pools. There is a fire pit that can accommodate large gatherings for singalongs and marshmallow roasts during the evenings.

The Bible camp operates under the auspices of One Hope Canada. While not affil-

iated with any one denomination, One Hope Canada camps and community ministries seek to share hope with everyone who comes through their doors.

As noted by Wiens, KLBC’s vision is to “Show God’s love, share God’s truth, and build God’s family.”

For the past few years, plans have been in place to expand the dining hall. It will include a fully upgraded kitchen, a new administration office and complete laundry facilities. It will also become a full four-season building, which will make larger winter activities possible.

Wiens is very excited about the upcoming expansion.

“We have been fundraising for years and now have enough sufficient funds on hand to get the project going.

Construction will begin right after Labour Day and the expansion should be complete by the spring of 2023.”

Many local residents have never visited Kenosee Lake Bible Camp and Wiens urges all those interested to

please come out. They would be more than happy to show you around.

There is an open

house scheduled for June 12 from 2-6 p.m. with a free barbecue in the afternoon. Everyone is welcome.

Earl’s General Store: everything from soup to nuts

By Paul Kimball Some days as you enter Earls’ General Store in Carnduff, you might think, “Oops, wrong place.”

Greeting you is the cheeping of chickens and ducks and turkeys. It sounds more like a hatchery than a general store.

Alisa and Kevin Earl took a gamble opening their store in November 2015.

General stores belong to a different era as most stores today focus on specialty lines. The ease of online ordering makes it tough to compete as a store that tries to carry everything.

It turned out to be a pretty good move.

The idea of operating a general store appealed to them, as it was something their whole family could be involved in.

Alisa was a veterinary technologist, a nurse of sorts, assisting the doctor, the veterinarian.

Kevin was and still is a battery operator. They have four children, all schoolaged. Whatever the age, there was always

something that could be done.

For example, when Target closed their store in Brandon, Man., the whole family made several trips to take the shelving, disassembling them and reassembling them in their store.

As the children have grown up (two have graduated), their involvement has lessened. Kiana, the eldest daughter, is still very involved. Kevin occasionally gets his hands dirty around the store, but the bulk of running the store has fallen upon Alisa’s shoulders.

The years have presented challenges.

Knowing what to stock is always a hard call. The growth of online retailers has hurt and COVID didn’t help. But the Earls have persevered and the store continues to do a solid business.

Alisa enjoys being able to line customers up with products. A big part of her job is sourcing items for people and finding them is very rewarding.

In February 2021, a customer made an unusual request. “Could you get me some

live chickens?”

Alisa tried, calling a hatchery, but she missed the deadline. At the beginning of this year, she became an agent for the hatchery and since then, she has received four shipments, with a fifth coming later this month. Each shipment contains about 1,000 baby chicks, ducks and turkeys.

A day after they have emerged from their eggs, they’re singing in Earls’ General Store, having gone from the hatchery to Canada Post in Regina, then to Canada Post in Carnduff, where Alisa meets the truck to pick them up. All within one day.

That very same day, those who have pre-ordered the fowl arrive to free them from the Earls’ hands.

This is just one example of the extremes that the Earls’ will go to in getting what you need.

At Earls’ General Store, you can Alisa Earl, holding something you’d never exget everything from soup to nuts, in- pect to find in a store. Photo submitted by Paul cluding chickens, turkeys and ducks. Kimball

A night at the drive-in with Kipling’s Drama Club

By Laura Kish Kipling School drama students presented a two-act play entitled Saturday Night at the Drivein Movie by Pat Cook, holding performances on both June 4 and 5 in the Kipling School Gym. The drama club consists of 24 students from Grades 7-11 and is directed by Lacie Pasloski and Jennifer Doell.

The play was set in the 1950s. Roll down your car window, hook up the speaker, and hear the announcements by the movie manager, Mr. Gleason (portrayed by Ronnie Szilagyi).

This play has a large cast and one practical set, switching out set pieces for upcoming attractions.

The upcoming attractions were acted out onstage, including Time Travelers in Space Suits, where aliens come not from outer space but from our own future.

See previews of what it’s like for women behind bars and how inmates keep disappearing in Wicked Wanda, Women’s Warden.

And tune in on the latest installment of a western serial, The Adventures of Rocky Rhode, where innocent women

Then it was time for the main feature, a horror flick The Vampire’s Hickey, which has movie-goers Tony (Doh Way) and Gloria (Sara Manns) battling up and down the rows of parked cars.

vaeh Armstrong) trying to find her car in the dark after visiting the concession stand.

During a break between the two acts, movie goers had the chance to get their own popcorn and drink from the school’s concession stand.

The Vampire’s Hickey continued following the short intermission.

Nephew Mark Redbone (Peter Toth) plans to spend the night at the haunted mansion in The Vampire’s Hickey in order to inherit the property that once belonged to his grandma.

He brings along his girlfriend Lola (Emily Antonenko) as well as his motorcycle friends Trixie (Aurora Husband) and Buster (Barbod Nokam) to spend the night in the mansion, which is apparently haunted by a vampire and a werewolf.

The cleaning lady Olga (Paige Manns) is the only other guest at

the house.

Well into the evening, Olga was attacked by the vampire (Chloe Antonio).

The gang finds a book on ways to kill a vampire as well as a bag of goodies to do the trick.

They also learn how to kill a werewolf with a silver bullet.

A storm is brewing so the guys make their way to the basement to look for the fuse box leaving the girls alone upstairs.

What could go wrong?

The girls find Olga the maid dead.

Coming to the rescue was nephew Redbone who drove a stake through the vampire and the house now belongs to him.

To celebrate the evening, he proposes to his girlfriend Lola.

Other cast members included: Kory-Lane Heaton-Ross, Esztika Toth, Renn Brickley, Katherine Montaron, Eva O’Greysik, Myla Hill,

Nigella Lagrono, Dawson Shoemaker, Kassidy Lowenberger, Adia Caswell, Kolbie Morton and Teddy Antion.

Helping out with lighting and technical work were Karissa Niebergall, Thomas Caswell and Ronnie Szilagyi.

Responsible for stagemanagement were KoryLane Heaton-Ross and Slone Bishop.

The students had been busy rehearsing for this play since early March, but had only one week to practise on stage with lights, sets and props.

“The students were excited to be involved in a play once again,” said Pasloski.

“This is the first play I’ve directed on my own,” said Pasloski. “I took part in drama when I was in school and I also have a degree in arts and education as well as a second degree in theatre. I do have the background in this area.”

“When we were de-

ciding on what play to do, the students said they just wanted to do something funny,” said Pasloski.

Because there are so many students in drama, the teacher thought this play would be an appropriate choice because it does call for a huge cast. This way everyone would get a role.

“It seemed like the students liked the play very well,” said Pasloski.

“It was kind of ambitious as they haven’t done drama in this school for a number of years now.

They are hoping to perform in a play next year as well.”

“The drama students worked really hard and I’m pretty proud of what they’ve accomplished with the time that we had.”

And that’s what it was like back then, when the sun went down and you all decided to spend Saturday Night at the DriveIn Movie.

A small school with lots of heart Submitted by Denise Singleton

Kennedy Langbank School held its 18th annual wake-a-thon for charity on May 27-28.

Every year, students from Grades 4-8 collect pledges for a charity and stay up all night at the school. Students spend their time playing games, watching movies, doing art projects and snacking.

In the past, we have raised money for charities that touch individual students

such as cerebral palsy, autism, epilepsy or the Discovery Ranch therapeutic riding.

Other years, we have chosen charities that help youth in general such as Kids Help Phone, Make a Wish Foundation and A Child’s Voice.

Some years it has been a local charity such as Kidsport or the Kipling Hospital Fund.

Yet other years, we choose a more global awareness such as the Tsunami victims in Japan or this year,

Ukraine.

Twenty-five students collected $2,832 and donated it to Ukraine through the Canadian Red Cross.

This amazing total added to previous years bumps the school’s overall total to over $32,000 raised for charity in the past 18 years of wake-a-thon.

Lingering COVID-19 cases a problem for many

By Murray Mandryk

You likely haven’t been hearing much about COVID-19 in Saskatchewan of late, which might lead you think it’s no longer a problem.

For most, it isn’t a problem.

Yes, many, many more people have had it — far many more than the 139,000 estimated. This number is likely higher because the government no longer provides easy access to PCR tests and doesn’t count rapid test cases.

But while the majority of Saskatchewan COVID-19 cases have perhaps come during the fifth wave, most fortunately, they have only suffered through milder flu-like symptoms.

While significantly more contagious that previous variants, we are dealing with a milder version of COVID-19. Moreover, with 80 per cent of the province having received two doses of the vaccine — and some having received triple doses — people are being protected from becoming more seriously ill.

The problem, however, is some people are still getting sick and the sheer volume of people getting sick means some are getting very sick.

This is the reality for one such dad in rural Saskatchewan who remains fearful as his son in Regina struggles with the aftermath of COVID-19.

“Mike”, the name I used for the father, has to speak for his son because his remains too sick to do interviews as he recuperates.

Also, the son — we called him “John” — has a public service job and doesn’t feel that he is in a position in which he can publicly complain.

However, he does have a story to tell.

John went to hospital three times in May — twice by ambulance after passing out at home. But each and every time, he was told he could not be admitted because all the hospital beds in Regina were full.

“He just kept getting sicker and sicker,” the father said.

Despite being off the job because of a work-related wrist injury and despite contacting sepsis from an earlier knee operation, John was an otherwise healthy 46-year-old.

But like many in this province, John, his wife and two young girls caught COVID-19 in early May. For the rest of the family, it was just a few days of flulike symptoms. For John — who was tripled vaccinated, a disconcerting thing, given how sick he became — it was a much, much bigger problem.

Feeling very weak and ill after having tested positive with a rapid test and feeling weak, John drove himself to Regina’s General Hospital on May 15. Eight hours later, he was given some antibiotics and told to go home because there were no COVID-19 beds available.

He wasn’t even administered a PCR test, as hospital staff told him there was little point because there was no question that he had COVID-19.

John went home, but he didn’t get better. He had increasing chest pains and on May 23 he passed out. That was when his wife called an ambulance that took him to the Pasqua Hospital.

There, he was assigned to a cardiologist who his father said provided him with good care.

This time, John more strenuously argued he needed to be hospitalized, but to no avail.

John again went home, but passed out again the next day. That resulted in a second $500 ambulance trip — this time, back to the General Hospital.

However, it was same result —he was again sent home where he has since remained.

His father said his son continues to struggle — a scary reality for the family.

For some, COVID-19 remains very real and scary.

A victory lap of a different kind

Shelley Luedtke The Indy 500 has a new one. The NHL is getting closer to determining theirs. Same with the NBA. The Kentucky Derby served up a surprise.

Champions.

Those athletic achievements marked by a superior performance, where a trophy is presented and a celebration launched.

Not all champions pursue the same thing. Some would never dare to call themselves champions.

There’s no trophy. No big payday. But something else — something significant — drives them.

Planners of a World’s Fair wanted highly visible, easy-to-access garbage cans, so people would more likely throw trash away properly and keep the grounds looking clean.

To take it up a notch, they asked for a talking version that would greet visitors after depositing trash.

The Garbage Eating Goat was sculpted for Expo ‘74 to raise awareness of the importance of caring for the environment. But not everyone was happy with the project at the time. While an initiative to curb littering

might not seem controversial, this one was because goat farmers were unhappy with the misleading message that goats eat garbage.

It took quite an effort to find a compromise, but eventually a sign was put up near the iron goat describing what the animals prefer to eat and the goat remained in Riverfront Park in Spokane, where it continues to keep the area free of trash. It’s whimsical, fun and effective, even if its origins were somewhat rocky.

Can you imagine shopping at a grocery store without the benefit of a shopping cart? When it was invented in 1937, it was sneered at. A store owner came up with the design hoping it would encourage shoppers to buy more, since they wouldn’t have to carry around their items, but when it was first rolled out it was not a hit.

Women said it reminded them of using baby carriages, and men weren’t interested at all. So the inventor hired models to push them around the store all day to try and convince shoppers they were helpful things. It worked.

Despite the distaste people had for them initially, they would become standard anywhere people liked to shop.

Then there is the humble umbrella, a form of which was used by several different early civilizations, but was most definitely eschewed later on as being inconvenient, and a sure sign that one did not have his own covered carriage and was foolishly

trying to control their personal climates. One risked being laughed and jeered at if they carried an umbrella, with unflattering comparisons to being less than masculine or something only women would use. But beginning in 1750, a determined man set out on the streets of London boldly carrying the offensive item. He was called ridiculous and occasionally pelted with garbage, but nonetheless he persisted.

Slowly, cultural change made the umbrella a bit more acceptable, as men decided staying dry was now preferable to being a bit snobbish and damp.

Examples are boundless of concepts that received a chilly reception initially that later went on to become something that is valued. But these ideas had champions; individuals who were determined to see something through despite opposition, ridicule and pushback. They actively promoted or advocated on behalf of a cause or idea because they believed in its worth and decided any number of obstacles were not enough to sway them.

Take a look around your community. Consider the recreational facilities it offers, the parks that add beauty, and the monuments and memorials that pay tribute. Look again at the venues where citizens gather for concerts, enjoy shows or participate in games. Think about the places of worship, the educational facilities, the gardens and special touches that help set a community apart. They are there be-

cause they had a champion – someone or some group who dedicated themselves to its origin, its completion and its continuation.

It likely wasn’t easy.

There were hurdles and roadblocks along the way.

But the people behind it persevered and refused to become cynical, complacent or overwhelmed.

That’s what champions do.

They don’t worry about the odds. They don’t dwell on what might be against them. They dream the dreams, set the goals, and chart the course.

Walt Disney famously said ‘Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.’ We need to take a similar approach to the places we live. A community can never think it is done. If it does, you can bet it is stagnant, or worse, diminishing. But vibrant communities look to one completed project as impetus for the next.

Because of people refusing to give up or give in, we have spaces that add beauty, inventions that bring convenience, and items that add comfort. But it took someone with vision to see past the attitudes of the cynics or negativity of the naysayers.

How exciting it would be if every individual saw their community as a place that is just getting started and is awaiting their efforts to add the next dynamic element. They likely won’t have banners raised in their honour but they are champions of the most enduring kind. That’s my outlook.

Shelley Boyes: from dream job to dream fulfillment Although Shelley Boyes has endured hardships throughout her life, she was in her sweet spot as 2007 approached.

She had her dream job at Sask. Learning in Regina and had just married her dream man, Shane Boyes. Her husband had a ranch near Glen Ewen, but that wasn’t a problem, as much of her work could be done remotely.

So in 2007, she moved to Glen Ewen, commuting once a week for meetings in Regina. Those weekly drives became wearisome, so she decided to give up that dream job. She returned to her former profession of teaching as a substitute.

After a while, she began contemplating a major career change.

She thought of opening an Old Fashion Foods franchise, but that vision evaporated when her dad became ill and needed her care. Counselling interested her and together, with her husband, began taking online courses.

In 2011, they graduated and travelled to Nashville to pick up their certificates at an awards ceremony, held by the American Association of Christian Counsellors.

She was now an accredited counsellor.

She began working with a life coach and one day, he asked a probing question: “Shelley, if you could do anything you wanted, what would it be?”

Boyes has a heart for helping young women in need, so she replied that she’d like to open a home for that express purpose.

She began exploring different models. One, in particular, really interested her, but she was overwhelmed with all the protocols she’d have to follow. One day, an ‘aha moment’ helped her realize that her vision of the home didn’t have to have an organizational tie. She continued to give it some thought.

In 2012, the home for women that would become known as Choose Life Ministry began to obsess her. Three words kept running through her mind: just do it. So she did.

She appointed a board and began meeting with them, detailing her vision. A fundraising banquet in Estevan later that year raised $12,000.

Over the next few years, there were more banquets, with people continuing to give, even though the construction had not yet begun. A total of $1 million was needed and Boyes did not want to begin building until all the money was raised.

Meanwhile, the Boyes

donated a quarter section of land where the proposed home could be built. On that section was an old, seemingly-dilapidated house. Terry Methot, a board member and building contractor, suggested that the building wasn’t in as bad of shape as it appeared and with a bit of work, it could be transformed into something beautiful.

At the next board meeting, a vote was taken regarding Methot’s suggestion and the results were almost unanimous to fix up the old house.

There was one dissenting voice, that of Boyes. She had to accept the board’s decision and it was then that she realized that God had something much bigger in mind than she did.

At this point, not enough money had been raised to build a new

building, but enough had been given to restore the antiquated home. The work began in May 2015 and three years later, it was functional, home to a few women who were looking for help in their time of need.

Boyes’ vision, six years later, had finally come to fruition. The Homestead for Hope was now a reality. The dream job with Sask. Learning was nothing compared to this fulfilled dream.

Since 2018, 14 women have graduated from the program and many others have been helped.

To help support the work that goes on in the home, Boyes has overseen the opening of several Second Chance Thrift Boutiques. Her vision has gone much further than simply what happens on that plot

of ground just south of Gainsborough.

And now, Boyes has decided to pass the baton. She retired from her role as executive director at the end of March and continued on for three months to help her successor transition into her new role. Recently, a retirement party was held to honour her vision and recognize Boyes’ accomplishments of the past 10 years.

What are her future plans? She is staying on as the finance director, but outside of work, you’ll see her at all the Saskatchewan Roughrider games thanks to a great birthday gift. She’ll be spending more time spoiling her seven grandchildren and she plans to do a lot of travelling that’s not work related.

If you’re interested in

Matthewson & Co offers bursaries to small communities

By Stephanie Zoer Lorri Matthewson owns and operates Matthewson & Co. in Carlyle, and she felt that a bursary was needed in the area for small communities.

Matthewson and executive assistant Anna Beaulieu provide support to such areas as administration, municipal councils and non-profits, to name a few.

They offer help in strategic planning, community engagement and grant writing, but that is only a brief list of the things they do.

Their focus is on communities that have a population of 5,000 or less, which also includes rural areas.

Matthewson began this program in 2021 for the first year. It is their plan to continue with this program yearly.

Upon her return to university to get her master’s degree, Matthewson felt there were no scholarships that would apply to her since she had graduated years ago. Matthewson got her degree in her 50s.

This excellent program offers support to locals and in the rural areas. They have an extensive list of communities they work with, which is listed on their website. Applicants

Lorri Matthewson and Anna Beaulieu felt it was necessary to offer this bursary program to small communities. Photo by Anna Beaulieu should be from one of the areas that Matthewson & Co. has worked with to apply. All this information is on their website as well.

There are two categories that someone can apply for.

The first one, called Package 1, is for post-secondary students graduating from high school in 2022 and plan to continue their education right away.

The other, Package 2, is a non-traditional offering for those that graduated high school but chose to not attend a college or university for at least three years.

Each package requires you to fill out an application. Along with the filled out forms, a one or two-page essay must

accompany it. It should include career goals after graduation and how this choice will help your community. Also, add volunteer work done in the area.

Applying does not guarantee funding.

If you would like one of the packages for this program, please email Beaulieu at abeaulieu@ outlook.com. Please state whether you are wanting package one or two.

The deadline for applying is June 16 at 6 p.m. and the two recipients will be announced on July 15.

Matthewson & Co. can be checked out on their website, at bursaries/ Matthewson & Co.

What’s happening in AGRICULTURE To ride a one-eyed horse diagnosed with ERU

By Stephanie Zoer Equine recurrent uveitis (ERU) is an uncurable eye disease in horses of all ages and breeds. It is also referred to as moon blindness.

In 2017, I purchased an eight-year-old Arabian appaloosa-cross mare. She was bred for her great temperament and confirmation. She is an exceptionally well broke and kind horse, the reason I made her mine.

Misty, as we call her, has been ridden by children as young as five years old. She joined the horse club at an early age and soon became one of the lesson horses.

In January of 2018, we noticed her eye was red and swollen. It was tearing and she was squinting like the sun was too bright. I thought it was a poke to the eye with a piece of hay or a branch. Sadly, that would not be the cause.

After two days of the eye remaining the same, Dr. Ann Y. Kernaleguen was called from the Stoughton Veterinary Services. She came out the same day to conduct an exam. I was told eyes are emergencies.

Misty was a very co-operative patient, according to Kernaleguen. We needed to rule out things like trauma, ulcers and infection through a test called fluorescent stain.

This stain turns bright green when these issues are detected in the eye.

This was not the case, so onto the next test.

An eye pressure test was next in line, called a tonometer. Horses eye pressure should read between 10 and 21 millimetres of mercury (mm). Misty’s reading was a whopping 56 mm. This was not what I was hoping for, and it was confirmed by Kernaleguen that my horse had ERU. At the time, I knew little to nothing about this equine recurrent uveitis. My research began, with calls to veterinarians in different areas. I was looking for any information that could help with Misty’s eye. Kernaleguen was involved with Misty on a regular basis, up to almost weekly visits. We knew we had a long road ahead of us.

ERU causes inflammation to the eye. It can be a onetime occurrence or at intervals throughout the year. Others can be controlled with medication and others not. It is a progressive condition, which is very painful.

Medicated drops were prescribed. At first, one kind was administered twice daily. It did not work. Another drop was then used along with it. We still had no luck at getting the flareups under control. Once again Kernaleguen returned to check Misty’s eye pressure. It remained unchanged.

Another medicated

drop was tried. This was over the course of four months. Now the ultimate goal was to control her pain and reduce inflammation, if this was even possible.

There are horses that do very well with allowing drops in their eyes. Misty was a rock star. In the middle of the field with no halter, the drops could be put in. A horse’s eye lid is one of their strongest muscles.

Other horses become upset when working with the eyes. At this point a port is attached to the mane with a long tube and inserted through the eye lid.

Medication can then be injected through the port for effortless application. This is called a sub palpebral Laval catheter. This method was offered to me, but it was not needed.

Appaloosas are eight times more likely to contract this awful disease. It is believed to be genetic, although the environment can play a key role. This painful disease is also the No. 1 cause of blindness in horses.

We were losing the battle and it was then that Kernaleguen suggested our last resort, which was the enucleation of the eye.

Once again, I was not prepared to hear this.

It was at this point that Kernaleguen referred us to the Sherwood Animal Clinic in Regina. Dr.

AND WHO, PLANTING TIME AND HARVEST SEASON, WILL FINISH HIS FORTY HOUR WEEK BY TUESDAY NOON, THEN PAIN’N FROM “TRACTOR BACK”, PUT IN ANOTHER SEVENTY-TWO HOURS.

SO GOD MADE A FARMER – Paul Harvey

Misty is a well broke horse that suffers from ERU. Photo by Stephanie Zoer Stewart took on Misty’s case.

Arriving at the clinic in Regina, once again Misty’s eye was stained, and pressure was taken.

It was at that time I was told Misty no longer had sight in her eye. Her eye had turned cloudy over the months, but I was still hoping there was something else that could be done.

Stewart gave me all the details of an enucleation.

I deliberated over this, and the decision was made to remove the eye.

She could not see out of it, and it caused her a great deal of pain. The surgery went well, and she went home the same day. Stewart said the eye was slightly enlarged, but everything was okay.

Kernaleguen took

over once again. Stitches were removed at 14 days and life would begin with one eye. I have been extremely fortunate to have excellent caring vets to help me through this journey. One would never know she cannot see on her right side unless you walk beside her and see the eyeless socket. She is the same horse as before.

According to Stewart,

Misty should wear a fly mask with UV protection. Nutrition is always important with excellent quality hay, and vitamin A for the eyes.

Misty has a yearly checkup through Kernaleguen. I have learned that eyes are definitely an emergency.

We will continue to enjoy life on the trails or doing barrels.

Six generations for the old Brady Farmhouse

By Gord Paulley Nestled 15 minutes northwest of Carlyle on the Saskairie Road, a majestic brick house has withstood the test of time.

Joseph Brady and his wife Ernestina emigrated from South Dakota in 1901 and homesteaded on farmland located near the Moose Mountains.

The Bradys were progressive grain and cattle farmers and raised a large family consisting of six sons and two daughters. Between 1909 and 1911, they decided to build a brick residence.

They selected local tradesmen for the construction and chose two different colours of brick. Apparently, the red brick came from Estevan and the yellow brick from Arcola.

The house is impressive in both its size and charisma. The fir beam ceilings are nine feet high and there are three stories including a basement, main floor, upstairs and attic. The 15 stairs and window frames are originals as is the beautifully handcrafted banister.

There have been many renovations done over the years, but the base structure has remained intact over time. The home is now over 110 years old and is designated as a Century Farm.

After Joseph and Ernestine lived in the house, the property was turned over to one generation of Bradys after another. Their grandson Joe (son of Charlie) and wife Adeline lived in the house for many years.

There is a large root cellar that happily fed everyone during the long winter months.

In its day it had a dumbwaiter which was used frequently. The cistern holds 2,000 gallons of rainwater, and it was noted that one winter Adeline did not need to replenish the water supply.

During the ‘50s and ‘60s, they hosted many small house parties and dances inviting local friends and relatives.

Joe and Adeline’s son Larry and his wife Marilyn lived in the house from 1981 to 2019.

“It is a beautiful home that has stood the test of time. To our recollection, we have never had to replace a red brick, a yellow brick or any of the foundation stones.

Pictures from when the

Livestock feed & Mineral

property was built show nothing but bald prairie and dirt.

“Trees have been planted over time and we have evergreen trees in our yard that are a hundred years old and a hundred feet high. We were fortunate to be gifted a full playground set from our friends Joe and Glenna Nicolay a few years ago, and this has provided hours of entertainment for the young Brady families.”

Carlyle has been home to many Brady descendants over the years. Some of the local relatives with roots to this home include Ed Brady, whose father Henry was raised in the house, and Randy Brady, whose grandfather Hester was raised there.

At the turn of the 20th century, there were many brick houses built in the

Carlyle RCMP now has a Pedal Patrol for officers By detachment services assistant Jacqui Trippel

Community members may have seen officers riding pedal bikes around town last week. The detachment has received four bikes that officers will be riding in the area during the summer months.

If you see our officers out and about on their bikes, stop and say hello.

They are looking forward to meeting people in the communities that we serve.

The officers won’t be doing actual patrols on the bikes; instead they will be used as a way for our officers to connect with the public. On June 3, a couple of officers took the bikes out for their first ride around town. The effort was very well received, with several community members stopping to visit with our newly formed Pedal Patrol.

The bikes weren’t on the road for 10 minutes before Constables Kisby and Dubeau had their first selfie request. A man from New Zealand is pleased to now have a selfie with him and two Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers to show his friends and family at home.

As for police work this week, a man walking down the highway phoned for assistance, saying he was tired and couldn’t walk

any farther. Police did dispatch an ambulance, but upon further investigation, it was determined that the man inappropriately used 911.

This is probably a good time to remind the public you can be charged with a Criminal Code offence for misusing 911.

Officers attended an alarm call. The unusual stormy weather and rain set off the alarm.

We attended a singlevehicle rollover. The driver went off the road, hit the south ditch and launched over the approach, breaking a stop sign and landing in the ditch nose first. The vehicle (sounds like the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard) bounced twice before coming to a stop.

All air bags were deployed.

Non-lifethreatening injuries were reported. Thankfully both occupants were wearing seatbelts, otherwise the outcome could have been worse. We are not releasing the names of the occupants, but we can say they were not Bo and Luke Duke.

Vandalism was done at a business. Sometime during the night, the culprits placed cardboard over the outside cameras and the shed was damaged again. We do have suspects and the investigation is ongoing.

A community member phoned to report he gave his bank information to fraudsters pretending to be from the STARS Air Ambulance lottery. When asked if he had any money taken by the fraudsters, the caller said no, because he didn’t have any money to give them.

We received a call about a semi-trailer speeding in an 80 kilometre per hour zone and tailgating the complainant’s vehicle. The semi was heading into the Broadview detachment area, so we alerted the detachment members there.

A caller phoned to report someone yelling and swearing in her house. The subject of complaint wanted to fight with people in the house.

Officers attended and kept the peace while the wouldbe fighter packed up her belongings. She declined a courtesy ride to her friend’s house.

Five young offenders were witnessed to be causing damage to a school. The investigation is continuing.

An employer phoned to report suspicious behaviour by one his employees.

We appreciated the phone call from the employer. Our follow-up investigation determined nothing to be alarmed about.

A call was received

regarding two people fighting in the caller’s yard.

Both combatants received minor injuries that were assessed by emergency medical services.

A woman phoned reporting a very scary situation when she observed a semi truck that didn’t stop at an intersection stop sign.

Officers are continuing their investigation.

A homeowner reported that several items were taken from his residence while he was away during the winter months.

A gas station owner reported that a motorhome with an out-of-country licence plate filled up with $57 worth of fuel and left without paying. The motorhome was stopped on the highway by police.

The apologetic driver said he thought he paid with his card, but the payment apparently didn’t process.

The driver paid the gas station owner cash for the fuel and was able to carry on down the road.

A caller phoned and reported the keys were left in his truck, and, not surprising at all, his truck was stolen. We located the truck nearby. No one was in the driver’s seat. The passenger was arrested on an outstanding warrant.

We attended a singlevehicle rollover. The driver was making a right-hand turn but was travelling too

A bike patrol is a recent addition for the Carlyle RCMP. Photo submitted fast. The driver’s rear tire hit the edge of the gravel and the vehicle slid down the ditch and hit a culvert.

The car then rolled onto its roof. Thankfully there were no serious injuries.

We received a request to lead the Carlyle graduation parade. The Carlyle Detachment officers and staff extend congratulations to all of our area graduates. We hope you have a safe graduation and wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

To finish up the week we received a call

reporting a piece of rebar sticking out on a bridge, creating a traffic hazard.

Police contacted the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure and they are working on the issue.

Several tickets were issued during the past week. These included three stop sign tickets, 19 speeding, one seatbelt infraction, one for cell phone usage and two for not having a licence plate secured and/or visible.

This sums up our week.

Sgt Holmstrom will be back writing the police report next week.

Carlyle Golf Club holds successful fundraising tournament

By Gord Paulley Sixty-four golfers enjoyed beautiful weather last weekend as the Carlyle Golf Club held a fundraising tournament.

The event took place to raise funds to assist in the purchase of new tarps for the greens and a new debris blower.

Generous business and personal donations were provided, and all entrants were treated to free burgers, water and coffee, which were part of their nominal entry fee.

This was a two-person best ball tournament and was non-competitive.

The only winners were all those who participated.

There were some individual hole prizes.

Closest to the pin on hole three: Tannis Keeley and Jamie Barnett; Closest to the pin on hole five: Glenda Lequyer and Kerr Cudmore; Women’s long putt on hole nine: Lori Wyatt; Men’s long putt on hole nine: Shayne McAuley.

Many of the door prizes donated were rather impressive. Jessica

Lees and Mike Oblander were the lucky winners of several of them.

One of the prizes Lees won was the barbecue smoker donated by board member Shayne McAuley. Oblander won the mystery prize which was a Yeti Cooler. Jenna Jensen won the $310 pot of gold.

Clubhouse manager Terri Field was very impressed with how the day went.

“We had ideal conditions to kick off our season. The golfers varied in age from high

school to old school.

Everyone had a chance to win a wonderful prize which were donated by various businesses, both locally and out of town.

“Thank- you so much to these businesses for your donations which go a long way in making our participants go home happy. While the final profits for the day are not known at this time, the funds will certainly go a long way towards the planned purchase of golf tarps and a debris blower.

“Also, a big thank-

keeping the golfers fed, hydrated and happy.”

Carlyle Minor Ball offered plenty of games

By Gord Paulley

Traditionally, the first weekend in June is Carlyle Minor Ball Days and this year was no exception.

Players ranging in ages from four to 16 enjoyed beautiful weather with girls’ fast pitch held on June 4. The next day, fans were treated to both boys’ baseball and the younger age groups.

On June 5, six and seven year olds played in junior and senior rally cap ball, and the four- and five-year-olds participated in learn to play ball. In addition to Carlyle, there were teams from Alameda, Carnduff, Estevan, Moosomin, Oxbow, Redvers and Wawota. Teams played a round-robin format

with no winners being declared.

Brandy East is the treasurer of Carlyle Minor Ball.

“We had great weather to work with all weekend long,” she said. “They are now 17 minor ball teams in our town, with a full complement of coaches.

Our board is committed to providing a quality ball program. We have many surrounding communities that participate with us and provincial teams like the super novas that utilize the facilities.”

“Carlyle Minor Ball continues to work at evolving and improving our minor ball program.

This past weekend is extremely critical for our finances and the crowds were impressive.

Action from the Carlyle Minor Ball Weekend.

Lampman School saw 13 students graduate this year on June 4.

Approximately 300 family members and friends gathered at the Lampman school gymnasium to witness the gala affair.

The graduating class was grateful to have this event, as the last couple of years were full of challenges and unexpected turns, but in the end, it all worked out.

Here are the graduates and their plans for the future.

• M a d e l i n e Christensen, daughter of Brad and Tammy Christensen, will be

attending Lakeland College in Vermillion, Alta., studying animal health technology and specializing in large animal medicine.

•KayZee Ferber, daughter of Zak Ferber, was accepted into the University of Calgary to study psychology.

•Derek Weinrauch, son of Dave and Tina Weinrauch, is planning to get his class 1A driver’s licence.

•Kailey Dube, daughter of Blake and Della Dube, will attend Mount Royal University in Calgary for her bachelor of health and physical education, majoring in physical literacy, to become a fitness trainer.

•Albert Raflores, son of Aleli and Philbert Raflores, plans to attend Sask. Polytech in Moose Jaw for computer engineering.

•Lindsay Johnson, daughter of Kirk and Shaunna Johnson, will go to Sask. Polytechnic in Saskatoon for a degree in the Sask. Collaborative for a bachelor of science in nursing.

•Hayden Willock, son of Trevor and Dawn Willock, was accepted into the University of Saskatchewan for engineering.

•Ryder Farnsworth, son of Ryan and Paige Farnsworth, is unsure at this time what his future plans will be.

•Spencer Sauder, son of Karla Block and Leif Sauder, will do an apprentice for heavyduty mechanic in Alberta.

Access a free lunch

Kevin Foote making sure there’s enough food to go around. Photo by Paul Kimball

By Paul Kimball Who says there’s no such thing as a free lunch?

The town of Carnduff had one on June 1, thanks to Access Communications Co-operative Ltd. Over 80 communities will be enjoying a free lunch this summer, compliments of Access.

Barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs were served, along with bottled water. Sunglasses were also handed out to the kids.

Events such as this are part of Access’ vision. As a non-profit organization, their profits are turned back to Saskatchewan communities.

Lunches are a small part of that.

They also give back through sponsorships, better services and chari-

ties such as the Access Communications Children’s Fund.

That fund alone receives about $200,000 yearly from Access’ profits and the proceeds of their weekly televised Bingo games.

Access is a Saskatchewan-only wireless company which features local community programming.

Presently, their service covers about 250,000 square kilometres, which is just under half of Saskatchewan’s total province.

Chances are if you live in the land of the living skies, you have access to the TV programming and internet services that Access provides.

Plus, you have access to those free lunches.

Alida news - sending best wishes Tournament a good fundraiser Submitted by Edel Cowan The Alida community is sorry to see that Bob Harrison has left our little village.

He has lived here for his whole life. At the end of May, he decided to make his new home at Sylvan Lake, Alta. He will be nearer to his children and grandchildren and I’m sure that they all will keep him very busy. Just moving in time for the baseball season to begin, and again I’m sure that Bob will be at every game possible to watch his grandsons. Best wishes to Bob in your new home and enjoy those grandkids.

Despite the fact that most of our farming families were still busy with their seeding

operations, the Alida Recreation Board decided to go ahead with the scheduled Sports Day weekend anyway.

They would just hold it for one day only on June 3 as there were only two teams that registered.

At approximately 6 p.m., the two teams – Team 361 Café and the Big Ballers (Junk pickup boys) headed for the ball field and began their game. It was quite the game. One should have been there to see it and cheer everyone on to victory. The winner of the game was the Big Ballers. Congratulations to all those who came out to participate and cheer.

They also had a show and shine where a 1988 Cadillac, owned by Jim Boettcher, Tim Cowan’s 1979 Pontiac Trans Am,

and a John Deere model L Tractor (from about 1939) owned by Dale Anthony were on display at the skating rink. The board members also had a drink table, and a barbecue was set up at the rink.

This was very well attended and a huge success – those hamburgers were definitely very delicious.

Great work, gals. Later in the evening the draw for the barbecue pack was made and the winner of this draw was Tanisha McKinnon.

Congratulations Tanisha and enjoy your winnings.

The Alida community extends sincere sympathy to the Madsen family on the death of Lorraine Madsen, who passed away June 3 in Weyburn.

Wawota weekly news Submitted by Myrna Olson The Wawota Museum held their annual spring tea and bake sale on May 27. There was a good turnout and Colleen Greenbank of Regina won the grocery hamper.

Happy anniversary to Don and Helen Gurski, who celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary last Saturday. This event took place in Kennedy.

Sympathy to Bernie Williamson and family on the passing of her brother Ken Fribance of Yorkton. He was 85 years old.

Monique Myers travelled to Brampton, Ont., where she visited with Ken and Lisa Hall and infant daughter, Alexis. After a weeklong visit, she travelled to Aylmer, Que., where she visited with several family members before returning home.

Congratulations to Katelyn Ethier and Cheryl de Roo, who have obtained rural class C certificates in local government.

Debbie Saville was acknowledged on her retirement from rural administration after 20 years of service.

Sympathy to Jason

and Ransel Barnachea and family on the passing of her mother, Romana (Remy) Balbuena. The family travelled to the Philippines for the funeral. She was 86 years old.

Happy birthday to Dorothy Mieltz of Moosomin, who celebrated her 105th birthday on June 2.

Kara Bunz and Darla Sauter spent two weeks motoring to Florida where they were picking up Kara’s trailer. We enjoyed their postings on Facebook. It sounded like a Thelma and Louise type of trip. (Minus Brad Pitt).

« A15 “This year our profits are being used to purchase a new portable pitching mound to keep up with Baseball Sask. programs.”

“And finally, our organization wishes to thank the local Lions Club. They have had a beautiful vision to improve the food booth, the bathroom facilities and have completed numerous diamond upgrades.

We are striving to maintain a collaborative relationship with them and

appreciate their efforts.”

Craig Savill of the Carlyle and District Lions Club chairs the Lions food booth committee. “When a service group like the Lions puts a project together, it must be a total team effort.

Operating a food booth requires organization, commitment, and a desire to do well. We get many compliments on our work and the quality of our food served. It is great for families to be

able to enjoy a day at the park.”

Minor ball league playoffs and provincials are scheduled for the last week in June so Lions Park should remain busy all month long. East concluded the interview with a thought.

“The experiences and friendships made during the spring minor ball season reminds us of why we get involved in sport and teach our youth about commitment, teamwork, and having fun.”
