Storm hits Kipling and Kennedy area with a vengeance By Laura Kish

Environment Canada issued multiple warnings for southeast Saskatchewan Sunday afternoon, citing severe thunderstorms, heat and tornado watches. Locations included in the warning were Kennedy, Kipling, Ocean Man First Nations, Glenavon, Wawota, Windthorst and Kenosee Lake. “At 3:15 p.m. CST, Environment Canada meteorologists are tracking severe thunderstorms that are possibly producing multiple tornadoes. Damaging winds, large hail, and locally

intense rainfall are also possible,” Environment Canada said. “Doppler radar indicates one potential tornado near Kipling, SK,” Environment Canada said. “Strong gusty winds, heavy rain, and large hail will also accompany any severe thunderstorms that form,” Environment Canada added. The worst of the weather system blew in on Sunday afternoon and by 3:30 pm the rain had turned to hail. Kipling had fairly robust storms on Sunday late afternoon then again on Monday evening.

Many large mature trees snapped off like toothpicks throughout Kipling during Sunday’s storm.

“There was heavy rain,” said Pat Jackson, Mayor of Kipling. “We have heard everything from about seven tenths to close to two and a half inches in the span of about 20 minutes.” Kipling had hail ranging from pea sized to about golf ball size dependent upon the location in town. Accompanying this were high winds which caused the majority of the damage. The power was out for close to eight hours from just as the storm hit until nearly midnight. SaskPower worked diligently to repair lines that had, in most cases, been dragged down by trees that were either broken or uprooted. “We don’t have a count of how many trees are damaged, but these were mature trees, many 40 to 50 years old,” said Jackson. “Some are definitely damaged to the point of requiring removal.” Residential properties had their share of damage with trees downed and with some garages, homes, and vehicles sustaining damage. There was one report of a

Help Wanted

camper overturned. Water damage to basements is only now coming to light so an accurate assessment is still to be made. Jackson goes on to say: “Municipal structures and parks show serious damage to the tree populations. The ball diamonds sustained damage to two dugouts therefore repair or replacement is a priority as the Bobby Vargo Tournament is slated for the Long Weekend. Possible structural damage to town buildings is still being assessed.” “Water was never jeopardized as power was not oﬀ at the wells, however residents were asked to limit use of water and especially sewer to give the lift stations, powered by generators, time to remove the excess water that was causing localized street flooding.” “Council has requested a PDAP designation in order for non-insurance claims to be assessed. The town oﬃce will be notifying residents of this so that they may get the applications, ask questions, and make claims as required.” Harley McCarthy, Administrator with Village of

Rain came hard and fast in Kipling preventing the drains to keep up. Photos by Laura Kish Windthorst, gave an update on how the storm aﬀected that area: “Windthorst received six to nine tenths of rain on Sunday depending on the area. Reports of pea size hail was received but didn’t last too long. Windthorst was without power for two hours.” “There was no damage

reported to houses, garages, vehicles or otherwise and thankfully no one reported having issues with their basements flooding.” Reports from the Kennedy Langbank area included large hail, wind and rain as well. Large fertilizer and grain bins in various communities were blown over.

We are looking for full time help to start in late August. The Job includes Customer Care and Assistance, Marketing and Merchandising of new product as well as buying and overall store strategy.

Carlyle’s Nicole Currie is a Southeast Explorer By Gord Paulley

Recently, Community Futures Sunrise has hired eight enthusiastic individuals to their team. Carlyle’s Nicole Currie has been hired as an explorer for events and promotions in southeast Saskatchewan. Community Futures, or CF, has decided to promote their area along the same lines as the popular traveler, the Saskatchewanderer. Explorers will visit and report on various events taking place in the region and showcase the area to the rest of the Province and Canada. Currie will be allowed free rein as to what to report on and will be writing stories and creating content for social media on both Facebook and Instagram. She will be

taking a lot of pictures and shooting video footage for the websites. Currie is very well known in Carlyle and district and was hired because she has the following skills and abilities; the desire to experience new things, charismatic presentation and the ability to connect with a wider audience, experience in writing and connecting with people, lives and works in southeast Saskatchewan and is able to work independently. Currie fits all those attributes to a tee. Currie is employed full-time as an administrator at Canadian Energy Services and her husband Kelly is the vice-principal of Carlyle Elementary School. They moved to Carlyle in 2002 and in 2009, were the first couple to build a

new home in the Ruckle Road subdivision. They have two children, Ty and Taylor. Ty is also employed by Canadian Energy Services, is a partner to Morgan, and they have a four-yearold son Kitt. Taylor is a lab and Xray technician. Previously, Currie owned the Pearl Boutique and Sears businesses on Main Street Carlyle. She was Carlyle Chamber of Commerce President for several years and has been on town council since 2020. She has been actively involved and on the board of many local organizations including Homespun, the Carlyle Cougars, and Kidsport. As everyone knows, she has an extremely bubbly personality and a very positive attitude. She lights up a room and always brings a smile to

your face. “I am super excited to be hired on as a Southeast Explorer. It is my dream job and I look forward to visiting and reporting on the many events here in southeast Saskatchewan. I love learning and I absolutely love Carlyle and the area. There is a lot to do here in our corner of the province.” Currie loves meeting new people and is a natural born promoter and ambassador. In her spare time, she enjoys watching all sports, gardening, baking, and cooking. Grandson Kitt will accompany her on the many planned trips in the area. Currie and her reporting can be found on the Facebook page Explore SE Sask. One truly looks forward to reading about her experiences.

Lampman Lions donate to grateful local organizations By Stephanie Zoer

With over one million members in 152 countries, Lions Club is the largest service club in the world. The Lampman Lions club has 17 of those members. On Thursday, June 16 the club held their yearend windup at the Lampman Golf Club. The barbecued steak aroma filled the air upon arrival, and it was a well-deserved meal by the diligent crew. Lions International began 104 years ago, with the next convention coming up in a few weeks in Montreal. It still holds the same values for peace and understanding, while helping those in need. Lampman Lions received sponsorship from the Oxbow club on April 7, 1963, and they have

been going strong ever since then. Gerry Perkowitsch is a lifetime member. He joined the organization in 1966. Anyone can join the club, be it men, women or children. Leo’s is for the kids, and the club hopes to get something established for the youngsters in the future. It takes a great deal of work to get this done. Over the years they have built the concession booth at the recreation grounds. They did a great deal of fundraising for the popular pool. At the rec. grounds they will replace the sand in the 150’ by 200’ sand pit and the list goes on. One of the largest fundraisers they do is the 52-draw community lottery. A draw is done every Thursday over a course of a year, begin-

ning in October. They are hugely involved in the Lampman’s sports weekend as well, which was just held. At the sports weekend, the Vegas draw was held, with only 400 tickets sold, so the chances were good. They had eight $50 winners, one $100 winner, one $500 winner, and the grand prize of $1,500 was won by Alina Fornwald. It was also donation time at the sports weekend. Lampman Auxiliary and Lampman Library received $1,000. The Lampman Fire and Rescue gratefully accepted $2,000, while the Community in Blooms received $1,500. Lampman Recreation received $2,500. Every penny raised by the club remains in the community and they are happy to do that. Like every service club, they are looking for membership. Anyone can join and meetings are held the first and third Thursdays of the month, beginning in September. They take a break during the summer months, but this does not mean they are not working on things for the up-andcoming year. Recently a new executive was elected. While a couple stayed on in their positions, others handed

Rusty Relics Museum holds fundraising barbecue By Gord Paulley On June 16th, the Rusty Relics Museum held their annual barbecue with well over 100 people in attendance. Due to the pandemic, this was their first luncheon since 2019. Lauren Hume is the Executive Director of the museum and was eager to bring everyone up to date on developments. “While the two years of the pandemic slowed us down, the slowdown was good for us in one way. Our staﬀ was able to scan and barcode nearly every item that we have on file and when possible, have also provided some background history on many of our artifacts. In the main building, we have recently installed new windows, added LED lighting to make the building brighter and repainted the oﬃce area. At the present time we are

In the past, funds have been received from the Bear Claw Casino, SaskCulture, the Carlyle District Lions Club, and the Town of Carlyle/RM of Moose Mountain capital grant program. Another successful pie-selling

fundraiser has just ended. Presently the Rusty Relics Museum has eight active board members. Bonnie Freitag is the secretary, Ron Paul the Chairman, and Dale Brady the Vice-Chairman. The museum is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday. Admission is free but donations are accepted and greatly appreciated. Everyone is more than welcome.

Let us meet the Lampman Lions Club. Back from left – Jadon Carnduff, Edward Laverdiere, Gleny Dela Cruz, Richard Kochie, Jae-Ho Kim, Damon Sutherland and Scott Greening. Front from left – Heath Greening, Gerry Perkowitsch, Doug Campbell, Rhodney Greening and Alvin Hase. Photos by Stephanie Zoer over the reins to the new ones. The new executives are president Garrett Woodley, past president Edward Laverdiere, vice president Damon Sutherland, second vice president Scott Greening and third vice president Todd Fornwald. Richard Kochie remains as secretary, while Jadon Carnduﬀ and Damon Sutherland are the treasurers. The new executive will take over in July. There are other positions involved like directors, visitation chairperson, awards and

so much more. Larry Loughren is the tail twister and is responsible for keeping everyone in line. The lion tamer, Edward Laverdiere sets up the meetings before the meeting begins. Over the years members have come and gone, but so many of them have been loyal members and continue to come back. Gerry Perkowitsch is now a life member. He joined the club when it was new. He is in his 56th year and a highly active member. Richard Kochie is a 24year member, also con-

tinually active in the club. After the delicious meal, awards were given to those who never missed a meeting over the 2021-22 year. It was now time to just enjoy the social and fellowship with their lions. Anyone wishing to become a member can contact any member of the club. They can be found on Facebook as well. They will gladly help you out with any further questions. If Lampman is too far for you, there are clubs in other towns in the area.

Burgers for Brittnee By Paul Kimball Brittnee Annetts, a young woman from Carievale, received devastating news in April that she had been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a cancer that aﬀected the lymphatic system, the part of the body that fights oﬀ germs. Cancer – what a terrible word. She did receive some reassurance. Treatment of this type of cancer has a fairly high success rate. But still, it was cancer and it meant a minimum of four chemotherapy treatments. It also meant taking a leave of absence from her teaching job in Dickenson, North Dakota and greatly reducing her interaction with people due to her body’s weakened immune system. As word of her illness began to get around, people from Carievale and beyond began asking what they could do to help. Jen Henderson put a committee together to hold a fundraiser on Brittnee’s behalf. Burgers For Brittnee was the result and the date was set

Burgers for Brittnee – From back to front, the Greenley and Barrows family wearing their support for Brittnee. Photo submitted by Paul Kimball for June 19. The response was overwhelming. Businesses and individuals donated all the food – hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, ice cream. Many came forward with donations for a silent auction. Tables were filled with items that people could bid on. The big day arrived. The fundraiser took place in the Carievale Community Hall and about 250 people arrived to show their support. Brittnee would have loved to be there, but she had just

finished her 4th treatment a few days earlier and the risk of infection was just too great. As the fundraiser came to an end, people started heading home. They had enjoyed mouth-watering food; they had contributed to a really good cause; and many went home with great prizes. But it was Brittnee who enjoyed the best prize, knowing that she belonged to a community that was so eager to be there for her during this diﬃcult time in her life.

Changing demographics bad for NDP By Murray Mandryk

During her run for the NDP leadership, Carla Beck described the biggest division in Saskatchewan as not one between right and left but one between rural and urban. If this is somehow a revelation to the NDP, it surely isn’t to most in rural Saskatchewan living rural/urban divide each day. And what the NDP do not get is how related this divide is to changing politics. While the Saskatchewan Party has won every rural seat for consecutive elections now, it has also won a majority of urban seats. That includes places like north Regina that used to be NDP bedrock but now sees Trent Wotherspoon as the party’s only MLA north of Dewdney Avenue. There are reasons why. About 170 unionized workers have already been laid off at Evraz Steel with as many as 300 layoffs expected — surely, one of the biggest private employers in Regina. The problems in the industry are complex, but the lack of pipelines being built is part of it. This is something new Saskatchewan Energy Minister Jim Reiter has seized upon, saying we need either a change in attitude or a change in the federal government. Reiter was equally quick to note that NDP leadership is anti-pipeline and has opposed further oil developments. It›s politics but a lot of those unionized laid-off steelworkers — who might have voted NDP at one time — likely agree. This might now be what Beck — the favourite to win her party’s leadership as of this writing of this column — and the NDP want to hear. But the reality is that increased oil and mining wealth and ever-larger farms has made this province considerably more conservative in the past two decades. Not only is the NDP no longer the province’s natural governing party but also there is questions whether if the NDP is relevant anymore. The answer to that may be better determined by how it emerges out of the weekend’s leadership contest. But the problem for New Democrats is that they can not get their heads around not only how politics has changed but also how far they have drifted from their pragmatic roots. Reaction to another recent federal government development calls that into question. Saskatchewan cattle and pork producers are now facing warning labels on ground beef and pork packaging because of saturated fats. In fairness, this is from Health Canada so it certainly is not directly political. It can also be further argued that there is nothing inherently wrong with telling people what may not be good for them in the packaging … although why raw ground beef or pork is of equal priority to warning labels on our McDonald’s bag or ice cream cone is rather interesting. Even more interesting is the reaction from city folks — some with NDP ties — that see legitimate concern over this issue as just more (as one old NDP warhorse put in to me in letter) about “belly-aching” from farmers. City people in Saskatchewan should know full well that it’s been an incredibly tough winter and spring for cattle producers. They should further understand that what they deem to be just “health issue” is something else. But it seems some city people — especially those with particular points of view — understand and/or care less and less about rural issues. Even in the past 15 years since the province rallied behind the beef industry because a few cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) crippled the industry, things have changed. With a shrinking rural population and immigration, most of us are not just “one foot off the farm” as we once claimed. And once more-pragmatic NDP has changed as well, seemingly moving further left. The NDP may be right about the urban-rural split, but they seem incapable of figuring out how it is tied to their own politics.

The day I made my television debut

Shelley Luedtke It was a TV show featuring children and had the awesome title Popcorn Playhouse. It ran for 4,000 episodes and featured 140,000 kids—and I was one of those kids. Popcorn Playhouse was a live show airing five days a week out of CFRN-TV studios in Edmonton, where TV personality Eric Neville hosted 36 diﬀerent children Monday-Friday on what was described as appointment viewing. The log cabin setting for the show featured a gold mine, Muskeg the Moose, and interviews and games for children between the airing of cartoons. Previous attempts at the locally produced show included settings on a ship and one in the jungle, but the studio hit magic with the log cabin and the hiring of Neville who became known as Klondike Eric, at the time Klondike Days was getting its start in

Edmonton. Popcorn Playhouse quickly became one of the most popular shows aired by the station and its appeal got noticed by national sponsors including General Foods and Mattel who bought out the show months in advance. Kids didn’t care much about advertising revenue, though. They were just excited to be on it. I sure was. The 36 children sat in two wooden bleachers, six kids in each row with the host in the middle. When it was time to talk to the children he held the microphone in front of each of us, moving row by row, as he asked each child their name, age and what they wanted to be when they grew up. An article following the death of its beloved host in 2015, talked about the sheer number of kids who wanted to be on the show. It stated, “Tickets were at a premium, and only about one out of 10 ticket requests was successful. If you got an invite to the show, you went.” So somehow I was on the show on my 7th birthday with my cousin Jeﬀ who was the same age. If it was your birthday there were some extra special things you got to do, including lining up to dig in

the Gold Mine. I picked up the shovel, dug into the big sandbox and dumped a shovelful into the sifter the host shook, revealing how much “gold” I found. It was nickels wrapped in foil, and over the run of the show it amounted to $150,000 given to guests with birthdays. I think I came away with three coins. I also won an A&W baby mug which I absolutely loved and still have. It is sitting on my desk holding paper clips and I treasure it. Yes, it was a promotional item. Yes, it could have been purchased at any of its franchises, but this one means so much to me because I took it home from Popcorn Playhouse. Popcorn twists, candy and birthday cake were served each episode. Cake, candy, excitement, nerves and hot lights proved a recipe for trouble and since the show was live, apparently the crew got very good at cleaning up after upset tummies. The studio, which is now a CTV station, held a one-time “Return to Popcorn Playhouse” to mark the station’s anniversary. A new generation of children sat in the bleachers, along with a woman whose appearance was delayed by decades after her family’s car acci-

dent on their way to the show when she was a child. In the anniversary episode was invited to sit on the bleachers with her own young children 30 years later as she told the story of being in a police station watching Popcorn Playhouse the day she was supposed to have been there. No tapes of the show exist, so the few things I recall are moments I truly remember. That kind of makes it extra special for me. I referred to this experience as my “TV debut” which would imply there were follow up appearances. There weren’t. It was a one-time thing. Sometimes we have moments that are not life changing, but are ones you simply carry with you, to be brought to mind whenever needed. In what can often feel like a complicated, perplexing and problematic world, it’s awfully nice to draw on an innocent memory and just sit with it for a while. Or maybe it’s as simple as being inspired to draw on childlike moments and remind ourselves that it might take many years, but dreams can come true. Whether we are 7 or 70 we need to be excited to play, enjoy being in the moment, and always go for the gold. That’s my outlook.

Stoughton’s Apostolic Church pastor leaves to return to his hometown in Alberta Pastor Darrel Durksen and his wife Pat will be leaving the Apostolic Church in Stoughton after three-and-a-half years to return to his hometown in Alberta. Although Durksen was born in Melfort, his family moved to a farm by Veteran, Alta., when he was a child. Veteran is a small community east of Stettler. Durksen has been a pastor for 18 years, with the majority of that time in Alberta. At the time the call came from

the Stoughton church, Durksen had stepped back from ministry for a brief time. He felt it was time to return to being an active pastor and come to Stoughton. He said, “I was very welcomed here with my wife, and over time have felt the love and encouragement from the congregation.” Being a pastor is not just preparing the Sunday morning sermon. They participate in Bible study groups, and remain on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Like any job, it

has its ups and downs. He needs to be a counsellor for those that need a listening ear and are dealing with the loss of a loved one, but there also comes joy. The birth of a newborn and the wedding of a couple in love are always a pleasure to deal with. Although Durksen loves being a pastor, he enjoys working with his hands. He takes care of the maintenance at the church and also repairs at the parish home. He is a drywaller and painter by trade. The pair has also cleaned up the flower beds and grass at the church for easier care. When he was asked to return to the Veteran church, he gratefully accepted, as his children and seven grandchildren live there, and they wanted to be close to family. He genuinely enjoyed being in Stoughton. His love for the elderly will be missed, as he regularly visited the Stoughton Pioneer Lodge and the lodge in Fillmore. A men’s coﬀee group was

her kids. Durksen will preach his last sermon on June 26 at 10:30 a.m. at the Stoughton Apostolic Church. His congregation of 50-70 members will hold a farewell luncheon after the service for Durksen and

his wife Pat. They will be sad to see him go. Durksen feels in the way the world is today, that the focus on God needs to be stronger. There seems to be such a divide and he feels that compassion needs to return.

Lampman Fire truck cools off hot athletes By Stephanie Zoer With the wind howling, the heat soaring and the sun shining, the Lampman School held their track and field on Friday, June 17 for kindergarten to grade six. If it were not for the wind, it would have been a scorcher for the young athletes. Beginning at 9:30 am the eager students took their places at each event, while high school students gladly helped out. Every student would ro-

tate in their groups to each event. They all received a purple participation ribbon. All the ribbons for the day were sponsored by TNT Oilfield Services, for which the school was incredibly grateful. Students cheered each other on, while teachers or a parent would demonstrate how the event worked, if a student needed help. After all, it was to be a fun day. It was great to see so many parents, grandparents and friends out to see their kids.

At lunch time, the hungry crew went indoors to enjoy a BBQ lunch of burgers and hotdogs and a delicious cold drink. It was now oﬀ to do the track events, where everyone worked hard to cross the finish line. Once all the events had been completed, a scavenger hunt was orchestrated for all. This was great entertainment. With the heat of the day, they all needed to be cooled oﬀ, and this was arranged by the Lampman fire department. The kids

Chloe Englot from grade 1 sure could toss that ball for the softball throw. Photo by Stephanie Zoer could be heard down the street with screams and

giggles as they got hosed down.

It was such an enjoyable day for all involved.

Carlyle District Lions Club celebrates recent renovations By Gord Paulley Last Saturday, local dignitaries gathered at Carlyle Lions Park to celebrate the construction of a sound booth for the main ball diamond. The new electronic scoreboard sign that was erected last spring was also recognized. Led by Park Committee Chairman Duncan Brown, Lions Park has seen substantial upgrades over the past two years. In addition to the construction of the sound booth and scoreboard sign, a sixth ball diamond has been upgraded with new fencing

and dugouts. Together with Carlyle Minor Ball, the Lions would also like to resurface all six infields at a cost estimated at $30,000. If things go well, work may be completed this fall. Regarding the building of the sound booth, Carlyle District Lions would also like to salute the eﬀorts of Dale Brady, who captained the construction in his shop on the family farm. The local Lions Club is a proud organization that locally fundraises and gives back to Carlyle and surrounding communities. Lions Park is very active and is a

Many use the popular walking path and the 15

camping sites are well utilized. The Lions Club has also opened their food booth for both minor and senior ball games and to date, sales have exceeded $10,000.

The Carlyle Leisure Complex is now open and only a short walk away. The ribbon cutting ceremony took place after game one of a Sas-

kota baseball league doubleheader between the Carlyle Cardinals and Carnduﬀ Astros. A good crowd was on hand to witness the celebration.

Graduating from Alameda to Oxbow By Paul Kimball Graduations – what comes to mind? High School, College, University? What about Grade 9? Grade 9 grads are uncommon. Feeder schools (schools that don’t run the gamut of K to 12) are a dying breed around here. One exists in Alameda and their grad was on June 15th. Nine students graduated, so for them, studying in Alameda is history. The students now make a stressful move to a new school in Oxbow. The evening was emceed by students Malcolm Sherling and Reese Copeland. These young men will be good fathers one day, judging by their ‘dad jokes’. “Which staﬀ

member is the friend of the students? The princiPAL.” Groans aside, they did a great job. The event was indoors, much to everyone’s dismay. COVID led to the grad being outdoors last year and it was enjoyed so much that it was hoped it could happen again this year but wind and threats of rain dashed those plans. The usual awards and diplomas were handed out. As a bonus, students received a commemorative frisbee. Principal Christina Vellacott spoke encouraging words to the students before presenting the coveted Principal’s Award. She highlighted each of the student’s strengths and applied them in such a way as to help alleviate

any anxiety that the upcoming move to Oxbow might be causing. She presented her award to Mikki East. The award speaks of going above and beyond what is expected in studies as well as in other aspects of life. Mikki is a very busy young lady. She maintained straight M’s (Mastery) in all her courses and was involved in many other areas, such as president of the Lit Committee (she emceed their concert this past May), speaking at assemblies and representing her school on the School Council Committee. She is also very involved in Jays Care, a leadership development program run by the Toronto Blue Jays, meeting regularly with others across the country via Zoom.

White Bear First Nation honours three graduates By Gord Paulley Last Thursday night, three deserving students graduated from White Bear First Nation. The gala celebration took place at the White Bear education complex. The graduating class consisted of Trevor Kequahtooway, Tatyona Joyea, and Delilah Littlechief-Joyea. Trevor is known for his love of the outdoors, of all animals and playing the guitar. Tatyona is a beautiful person both inside and

out. Delilah is already an accomplished artist. Shanna Carriere was the Master of Ceremonies with Elder Michael Lonechild opening the evening with a prayer. The guest speaker was Josh Montana, a 23-yearold indigenous baseball athlete from the George Gordon First Nation. The presentation and awards celebration began with the song Dream Big being sung by Teagan Littlechief. There were numerous awards and gifts presented to the

graduates. Tanya Littlechief, Diette Kinistino, and Chief Annette Lonechild all addressed the audience and the graduating students. Marylee Morrison Lees presented the diplomas. The night’s celebratory message was “May the stars align on your journey finding your inner spirit.” Kequahtooway was the valedictorian. As is tradition, the ceremony concluded with each graduate receiving an eagle feather and a star blanket.

Towards the end of the evening, tribute was paid to two departing staﬀ members. Janessa Wilson is returning to Carlyle to teach and Brenda Miller is retir-

ing after many years as a counselor. A short video featuring the nine grads brought the evening to a close and now the major move to Oxbow begins.

Wawota Parkland High School’s graduating class of 2022 By Gord Paulley Seven students graduated from the Wawota Parkland High School, with the celebration taking place last Saturday afternoon. Principal Jos Risling welcomed everyone who attended and Rochelle Friesen and Jaime Finlay introduced the graduates. Here are their future plans. Brett Branvold is enrolled in the Saskatchewan Youth and Apprenticeship program and plans to become a journeyman heavy duty mechanic. Talisa Davies plans to attend the University of Calgary to obtain a sci-

ence degree with the goal of attending the University of Waterloo School of Optometry and Vision Science. Jordan Dorrance plans to obtain a bachelor’s degree in Agriculture Business, minoring in Animal Science at the University of Saskatoon or possibly in the USA. Her long-term goal is to own and operate T Bar K Ranch and continue raising purebred Red Angus and Horned Hereford cattle. Lexi Draper plans to take a year oﬀ to develop her art portfolio before attending the University of Regina to obtain her Fine Arts Degree.

Michael Jamieson plans on continuing to work at Walker Water Systems. Austin Johnson plans on working for a year and then pursue a trade. Zack Mudrewich plans to attend the University of Saskatchewan to take Engineering. Jacqueline Hinshelwood was the guest speaker. Talisa Davies and Jordan Dorrance provided the valedictorian address. Leaving the ceremony, Principal Risling honoured each student with a gift of roses. A town-wide parade of the graduates completed the day’s events.

Mike Makelki is Golfer of the Week Carlyle and District By Gord Paulley Driving past the Carlyle Golf Course, one can often see a bright yellow truck parked near the clubhouse. This vehicle belongs to local resident Mike Makelki who is an avid golfer. Mike, Clareen and family moved to Carlyle from Weyburn in 1994. He was employed with Talisman Energy and then Crescent Point Energy and retired in 2018. He started golfing later in life after his two children, Garett and Michelle, were completing their local schooling. “Clareen bought me my first set of golf clubs back when I was forty years old. I think she paid a whop-

a putter and four irons. Definitely a starter set but it got me into golfing.” Makelki has been a longtime member of the Carlyle Golf Club and a season ticket holder since moving to town. He was on the board of directors for ten years and was also club president for three. He is an avid curler and an active member of the Royal Canadian Legion and Moose Mountain Elks. Every Tuesday and Thursday, Makelki and his good friend Gerald Clark organize what is called drop-in golf. Anyone, male, female, young or old, can come out and participate. The nine-hole fun event has a tee oﬀ time of 9:30 a.m. Makelki was a huge contributor to the Carlyle Golf Club when the sand greens were converted to grass back in 2000. “We have as good a course that there is in all of Saskatchewan. Terri Field and her staﬀ in the clubhouse are friendly and accommodating. Steve Polsom and his grounds crew do a tremendous job and the course is in beautiful condition.” Mike Makelki simply loves the game of golf and is very deserving to be honoured as the Observer Golfer of the Week.

Fibromyalgia can mimic other illnesses, which makes it difficult to diagnose By Stephanie Zoer

Having any kind of flu bug can leave you with body aches, headaches and exhaustion, but after a few good days of fluids and rest, it usually goes away, and life is continued. Now, imagine living a life with constant pain. Pains that shoot down your back and into your legs or make your hands and feet tingle. An illness no one sees but it is there daily. An illness that causes too many issues to mention. This is Miranda Fiarchuk’s life. She has fibromyalgia and it is not something that is easily diagnosed. Fiarchuk’s health issues began when she was 16 years old. She contracted mononucleosis and became extremely ill and needed to be hospitalized for the sickness. After a month she started to feel better, but issues remained. This sickness can take up to six months to go away completely. Then, at the age of 20, Fiarchuk experienced a traumatic event in her life and that is when the pain began for her. A stressful or traumatic event can trigger fibromyalgia, and this was the case for Fiarchuk. Fiarchuk felt extreme exhaustion and complete body pain that jumped around throughout her body. Fiarchuk said, “taking a shower was enough for me to need to take a nap.” She became prone to getting sick and a small cut would lead to an infection. “I had test after test, only to be told I was fine. It made me feel depressed and useless,” Fiarchuk said. “I was only 20, why couldn’t I snap out of it?” For five years she was told there was nothing wrong with her, yet the pain continued. Every other sickness needs to be ruled out before a diagnosis can be made, as fibromyalgia looks and acts like other diseases. Finally, she went to a fibromyalgia specialist. She went on to explain that a pressure point test is done. A certain num-

ber of positive points out of 25 are needed for the final diagnosis and she had 25 of them. Fiarchuk would marry and have children. She had two diﬃcult pregnancies, one carrying twins. While carrying her boys, the fibromyalgia became quite intense. During her twins pregnancy, complications would occur, resulting with her flying to Toronto for testing and an emergency surgery and losing her one son, Hunter. This created a great deal of stress for the young mother, as a short time later her healthy twin son would be born. Infections set in after multiple surgeries, and her illness progressed. She is incredibly grateful to have her boys. Fiarchuk explained

that she is on nine different medications to control her illness. The disease causes bowel issues, swelling, digestive problems, sleep disruption and migraines. The list goes on. So, in order to help these issues multiple medications are needed as not one drug will control all of it. She figures she is in stage 3 or 4 of the disease. She tries to remain as active as possible, but at present is unable to work. She said, “There are days I can barely get out of bed, due to the pain, but I keep trying.” Weather plays havoc on her body and plays a big part in the flare ups. Fiarchuk said, “I don’t need a weatherman to tell me the forecast, my body does that.” A day before a change in the

Cole and Seth Fiarchuk, sons of Miranda Fiarchuk learn to deal with their mom’s illness daily. Photo by Miranda Fiarchuk weather, Fiarchuk’s body will be quite painful. “When my body tells me to rest, I have to listen or I’ll pay for it, days later,” she said. Sometimes a person’s

illness can not be seen and at times it takes the long haul to figure out the problem. Fiarchuk admits she has had a diﬃcult life. She is now a single parent but keeps going. Her

two young sons help her a great deal at home when she has bad days. “I am very blessed to have them,” she said. At this time there is no known cure for fibromyalgia.

Alida Weekly News - School’s Grade 9 reunion is coming Submitted by Edel Cowan Shelly Cowan and daughter Ainsley joined up with Kelsey and Lacie and they all participated in the Dog Jog at Estevan on Sunday, June 12. There is not too much news happening right now, it seems that the fellas are all busy with spraying as soon as the weath-

er co-operates. Darn wind always seems to be blowing, which of course is needed to help dry up any puddles that Mother Nature left behind during her rain showers. We had another nice rain Sunday evening. Definitely keeping the men folk busy, here’s hoping for suitable weather this week. I noticed a poster up in the Alida Post Oﬃce

June is Lipedema Awareness Month Submitted by Connie Young Lipedema is a progressive, debilitating disease that affects thousands of women in Saskatchewan. Often mis-diagnosed as obesity, it affects 11 per cent of women around the world, which is approximately 60,000 women in Saskatchewan. If you have stubborn fat on your thighs, butt, hips or maybe upper arms that won’t go away with diet or exercise, you may have lipedema. The Saskatchewan Lipedema Association was formed in 2019 by a group of women who are trying to create awareness and support for fellow lipedema sufferers. Members of the board met with the caucus policy human services committee in Regina on May 17. They provided the committee with information about the chronic disease and shared their individual journeys. The association has been approved for a meeting

with Saskatchewan Health Minister Paul Merriman. We hope to be able to set up a working committee to help ensure proper diagnosis and treatment is available in Saskatchewan. There are standards of care established in the U.S. and Europe that can help in the diagnosis and treatment of lipedema. Other symptoms include pain, swelling, loose skin, and easy bruising. The texture of fat beneath the skin can feel like peas, rice or walnuts. Symptoms often begin at times of hormonal change, such as puberty, pregnancy and menopause. As the condition worsens, fat deposits can grow bigger, and a person’s lower half can become heavier. Over time, these fat cells can block vessels in the lymphatic system. This can prevent the lymphatic system from draining lymph fluid, which can cause a buildup of fluid. This is called lymphedema. When you suﬀer from both conditions it

is known as Lipolymphedema. Lipedema does not occur because of how much you are eating or how much you’re exercising. Lipedema is a medical condition that millions of women have inherited. There is no cure for lipedema but the disease can be managed through conservative treatments, surgery and eating a strict anti-inflammatory diet. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can make a huge diﬀerence in the life of aﬀected women and reduce cost to the medical system. The most important first step is for women to find out they have lipedema and for those in the medical system to recognize the disease and have treatment options available to patients. For further information, please look up our Facebook page - Saskatchewan Lipedema Association, or visit our webpage at sasklipedema.com. Dianne Wilson or Connie Young are also available to discuss lipedema.

Maryfield Sunrise Villa happenings Submitted by Betty Walker Well the first good news this week is that our staﬀ no longer has to wear masks at work or our visitors in our room. There are still no visitors in the common room. The smiles we see now are beautiful. Just out to see the Garden. Wow is it ever growing! We can’t wait to eat the fresh produce. Weather wise we have

had a little of everything but it could have been so much worse. Inside we have had some pussy willows and lilacs and now some lady slippers and we enjoy them so much. I am sorry to report that we no longer have Lucienne Thomas as a resident. She has been moved to receive more medical care and our best wishes go with her. Today we had something diﬀerent. Sarah

went to a lot of work to set us up for painting a picture as we followed Instructions. We painted a watermelon. She plans to do something again next month. Thanks for your time. It was fun. I must go outside and enjoy our beautiful courtyard, so far mostly greenery, but the flowers are coming nicely. But the pesky mosquitoes are too which isn’t so nice. Until Next Time.

Artist Colony in Moose Mountain host local talent

Manor Drama Club hosts Dinner Theatre

By Stephanie Zoer By Gord Paulley Last Thursday evening, the Manor Drama Club, in collaboration with the Manor School Community Council (SCC) put on their first dinner theatre since 2019. Over 60 were in attendance and after a delicious meal, were treated to the short comedy play, To Be or Not To Be Hamlet, written by Ian McWethy. The audience was treated to a humorous and fast-paced performance consisting of 12 scenes. The play was directed by vice-principal Michelle Cundall and teacher Monte McNaughton. In addition to the participating teachers, drama students ranging in ages from 14 to 18 took part.

We have some talented actors and actresses in our school and to see them perform in front of a live audience again was very heartwarming.”

TOWN OF STOUGHTON Public notice is hereby given that the Council of the Town of Stoughton intends to adopt a bylaw under the The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend Bylaw No. #444/18 known as the Zoning Bylaw. The proposed bylaw will rezone the land described below from IND-Industrial to R1 – Residential Single Dwelling District.

When Larry Babbings retired five years ago, he needed something to do, as he has always been a busy person. Babbings and his wife Myrna have lived near Glen Ewen for a majority of their life’s. They have three adult children, Michelle, Kris, and Pamela, but also have seven grandchildren. Being a farmer for the better part of his years, he has also worked the oil patch, but that is not all that is on his resume. He was the fire chief in Glen Ewen for a few years, but a first responder for much longer. Along with this he became a nurse’s

Three years ago, it was decided they would go to Texas for the winter, but a month later COVID hit so they returned home to Saskatchewan. It was only this past winter they were able to return to the sunny south. So, he needed something to do, and a course came up in Alameda to make leather moccasins. He took this leather works course and enjoyed it, and so it began. Babbings now makes moccasin’s, hats, and gloves. His patterns are ordered through Amber’s leatherworks in Manitoba, but he always changes them to suit what he likes. While he camps in Kenosee during the summer, he displays his work at the Artists Colony at Moose Mountain Provincial Park. His work is incredibly detailed. His daughter Pamela Bartlett helps through creating beading patterns on the items. Babbings does the beaded work as well. His talent does not end with leatherwork, he designs wood burning items in his spare time. The wooden boxes are beautifully detailed. Not all men enjoy working in the kitchen, yet Babbings loves it, specially if it involves a baking pan. So, plan to visit BB Leatherworks and Goods at the park or look up his Facebook page for all his work, but maybe if you make the trip and visit, he just might have a sweet homemade treat as well. Babbings will be at the Artists Colony until June 27 in the rotating cabin number 1.

Approximately 200 adults, students, and children showed up to the detachment and helped themselves to a free barbecued lunch. The public also were able to pet a few puppies that Bright Eyes Animal Rescue brought. The public was very generous during the BBQ and Bright Eyes Animal Rescue received lots of donations to help their organization. The public also got a first hand look at the police vehicles, as well as Carlyle RCMP’s famous Bed and Breakfast. Plenty

Deja-mooo this week in Carlyle as “The Cows” have moved their beef with the RCMP from Moosomin down to Carlyle. On June 17 and 19 “the cows” were causing beef on Highway 13 near Kisbey and again they were reported to be causing mooschief on Highway 9 near Highway 48 Junction. Members attended each time and the gang fled back to their fields like a bunch of cow-herds. By the looks of things, the cows are going to be udderly impossible to deal with again this year. All summer long the RCMP are going to be searching for kids and youth in the area in order to reward them for good behaviour. Positive behaviours can range from wearing your bike helmet, looking both ways to cross the street, picking up garbage, or even helping their parents carry groceries. These two boys were rewarded for playing nice and being a good role model for other kids. Police joke: What do you call it when a prisoner takes his own mugshot?
