Arcola fair a tremendous success

By Gord Paulley

Blustery weather didn’t dampen the spirits of the Town of Arcola last Saturday as a very successful fair was held. The one-day event attracted a large crowd that came from all over southeast Saskatchewan.

The Arcola Fair Society Inc. is a non-profit organization that is a member of the Saskatchewan Association of Agricultural Societies & Exhibitions, or SAASE. Their vision is to see communities come together in positive interaction, experiencing a deep appreciation for its rural heritage while embracing new cultures and expanding borders. The Arcola Fair Society has owned and maintained the Arcola fairgrounds for over 100 years. They welcome the use of the grounds by various community groups.

The day started off with a pancake breakfast sponsored by the RM of Brock. Volunteers from the Arcola Fire Department were the

THE

servers. A town-wide parade followed with 31 entries. Fair committee member Judy Naylen was impressed. “Despite the rainy weather, the Arcola parade went off without a hitch. We wish to thank the local businesses and organizations for entering floats and we were excited to see several out-of-town floats and horses too!”

Five teams participated in a slo-pitch tournament. There were antique cars and tractors on display. A trade show was held at Prairie Place Hall. That afternoon, the Saskatchewan Reptile Show entertained the children with an assortment of live turtles, snakes and lizards.

The old exhibit hall showcased children’s drawings, quilts, jams, jellies, baking and many other items. There was a petting zoo operated

by Saddle Ridge Farms.

In the skating rink, the Arcola Optimist Club sponsored a well-attended Kidzone with several bouncy castles and a climbing wall. A silent

auction was held in the Ag Pavilion.

Stacey Grimes Wempe, daughter of Mel and Margaret Grimes, provided the Arcola Fair Society with a $20,000 donation in memory of her parents and brother Clinton. These funds were used as prizes for the Junior Steer and Heifer Show, which had an impressive 132 entries.

The junior cattle show was the highlight of the day. In addition to local and provincial entries, there were also contestants from Alberta and Manitoba. Winners were as follows: Grand Champion Heifer, Zane Short, Reserve Champion Heifer, Ava Loveridge, Grand Champion Steer, Dawson Fladeland, Reserve Champion Steer, Kayden Michelson.

One of the many judges working the event was Frank Eaton who, with wife Judy, has returned home to retire.

A food booth was open all day long and operated by Jim and Brenda Milligan. Arcola Rodeo

Committee members ran the beer gardens and the day concluded with live entertainment

by Chris Byrne. Wendy Bax won the large pot of gold.

Fair committee member Lisa Pittman was extremely pleased with how the day went. “Despite the wind and rain, our first fair since COV-

ID was a hit. This year’s event has been months in the making by a variety of committees. Those who spearheaded those committees worked tirelessly to ensure the Arcola Fair, which featured the Mel Grimes Family Memorial Steer & Heifer Show, went off as a success. We appreciate everyone who came out

to attend all our events and to those who volunteered their time to help.

With the excitement building and sponsors already lining up for the second Grimes Memorial Junior Cattle Show, we are already planning for June 24, 2023. Mark your calendars and here is hoping for better weather next year.”

Local Bronze artist is known worldwide

By Stephanie Zoer When you enjoy what you are doing, it does not seem like work and that is the case for Ken Frederickson.

Frederickson and his wife Heather live on a ranch east of Wawota, where they have cattle and horses. They raised their two sons on the ranch and have four grandsons.

For 30 years Frederickson was a professional photographer, travelling throughout Canada and the United States, taking in all the beauty of animals.

He has photographed every major agricultural event in those years and has a photographic memory. He said, “it’s been an interesting life.”

Frederickson had always liked bronze sculpting and seven years ago he gave it a whirl. After his first piece was completed, it was so successful, he continued with the art.

His first piece called, “Bear Soul” captured the attention of well-known artist, poet, and lawyer Ovibe Mercredi. Mercredi would draft the poem to accompany this piece, and Frederickson would also create art to go along with Mercredi’s poems.

His passion for sculpting would continue.

To create one piece of bronze sculpting is not for the faint of heart, and it takes nine pain staking steps to cast a bronze. It includes rubber molds, a wax process, gating

sprueing process. The ceramic shell and lost wax process. The bronze pouring, welding and sand blasting finish for the metal and finally the patina process. Each step must be completed with care, to ensure the beautiful outcome. It can take over six weeks to complete one sculpture.

Frederickson is a permanent resident at the Artist Colony of Moose Mountain Provincial Park, which is located beside the chalet. He dedicates his summers to his art. With over 3,500 visitors in one season, it keeps him busy. Art fans from as far as Africa and Mexico have graced his cabin to view his wellknown art.

One piece that Frederickson sculpted was for the Logan Boulet Memorial Tournament. Boulet was one of 16 people that died in the tragic Humboldt bus crash. The trophy was ordered by Boulet’s dad, Toby. The per-

Ken Frederickson begins a new sculpture called, “line drive.” Photo by Ken Frederickson fect name for the trophy is “Loving the Game,” and resides at Boulet’s home arena in Lethbridge, Alberta.

Another accomplishment, and there are many, is for the Canadian Champion of Auctioneer.

This is a yearly award and is perfectly named, “The Calling.”

The Calgary Stampede has also seen Frederick-

son’s work. Sculptors from Canada and the United States try to win the vote to do a bronze trophy for the worldwide known event. If your sculpture is chosen, the original piece is put into the art collection. Frederickson won the bronze steer commission which is valid for five years.

Not all the pieces are finished in the bronze col-

our. Often his pieces will see the natural colour of animals.

Frederickson said, “I’ve had an interesting life, and it’s been very good to me.”

If you are looking for something to do, drive on down to the colony at the Moose Mountain Provincial Park and check out his artwork, it is well worth the drive.

The James and Hale auction brought bidders from all around

By Stephanie Zoer

It was a hot and sizzling day on June 18 south of Kisbey for the James and Hale farm auction. The breeze sure made it more bearable in the heat. In the morning, the clouds looked ominous, and it sent down a short shower, but it was not enough to delay the sale, nor to cool things down. It reached 30C that day, but this did not stop people from coming out to either bid or just to socialize.

Dellan Mohrbutter and his crew from Key M Auction Services, located out of Wauchope, kept the auction moving quickly and smoothly throughout the day.

The approximately 160 bidders could be seen scoping out the items they wanted and would bid till the item became theirs.

Cliff and Mavis James bought their farm in 1972, in the Arcola area.

After 50 years of farming, they have called it quits. They raised their four children on this farm and had friends and family members grace their doorway, and they hope this will continue at their new place. James said, “we will miss the Arcola area, but it’s time for a new adventure.”

James and his wife packed their bags, loaded the trailer, and headed west, but only as far as Moose Jaw where they purchased a new home for them to retire.

So why did they pick Moose Jaw? They felt it was a nice size city, not too big and not too small. “It has everything a person needs,” said James. James also said, “it has a great hospital and all the services, which is important.”

They both enjoy their new home, and the neighbourhood is great.

Their home overlooks a park where they can see children playing and

people walking their dogs.

It is their plan to travel and just enjoy life. When they were married 50 years, their plans to travel east were canceled due to travel restrictions, so this remains on their to-do list.

Now, Grant and Marilyn Hale will remain in the area for the time being. They purchased their farm in 1976, and 47 years later decided it was time to hang up the towel.

Their farm is located by Kisbey and was situated beside his parents’ farm, which he also worked on. He began to drive tractor at the age of seven, like so many local farm boys.

Hale remains busy by looking after the Kisbey museum. It will open in July and August on Thursday afternoons for those who wish to visit. He is also quite involved in his church and the Silver Thread

By Gord Paulley Recently the Bear Claw Community Development Corporation (BCCDC) generously donated to several organizations serving Carlyle and the surrounding area. Representing BCCDC for the Town of Carlyle was committee

member Wayne Orsted.

Jack Wilson was the representative for the RM of Moose Mountain #63. $7,850 was granted to six local organizations including the Bits and Pieces Quilt Club, Carlyle & District Food Bank, Carlyle District Lions Club, Carlyle

Playschool Cooperative, Rusty Relics Museum and Sutherland Cemetery. Funds were approved solely for capital expenditure purposes and could not be used for general operating expenses.

All the clubs involved appreciated the generous donations received.

Key M Auction Services kept the crowd bidding for the James and Hale farm auction.

They gather for coffee daily. It is their hope to bring back their potluck monthly suppers soon.

It is held at the Kisbey hall.

Being a collector of LP records, Hale has over 300 old country classics, but he also enjoys col-

lecting hats and hockey cards, but feels he will need to downsize those collections if they move.

The auction brought friends together after years of not seeing each other. Brothers, sisters, and other family members also took the time to support the families.

On occasion, items went lower than thought, while others went above.

The antiques went over very well, and often a bidding war would begin till one dropped out.

Overall, it was a wonderful day filled with special memories for the families.

From bark park to Bark Park

By Paul Kimball Carnduff had a problem. Dog owners were exercising their pets on the school grounds. Unfortunately, students were using those same grounds for recess and often ended up with undesirable smelly stuff on their shoes.

Krista Larson decided to do something about this. Using Facebook, she asked for help in creating a dog park. The response was good and a committee was formed to look at possible options. Information was collected and presented to Town Council.

There was a dense treed area immediately south of the ball diamond complex that was not being used.

Council gave their approval for that cluster of trees to be used as a dog park.

Some trees would have to go, but Council was okay with the bark of trees giving way to the bark of dogs.

The transformation would cost about $10,000.

Fundraising began, including the sale of a calendar featuring local dogs.

The money was raised and the work began – trees were removed, a fence was built, signage was put up and doggy bag stands were erected. Nixon Lumber donated a shed to house the maintenance gear.

In 2015, the Carnduff Bark Park, the only

The new Bark Park is so nice that even the moose want to be dogs so they can use it. Photo submitted by Linda Powell Saskatchewan dog park southeast of Carlyle, was ready to go.

It has been really good for Carnduff. School kids no longer worry about stepping in something gross. Dogs who shared a common town without knowing it have become best of friends. In fact, dogs have even met dogs from far away places like Oxbow and Redvers.

Friendships have even developed between the owners of the dogs.

Other communities considering creating dog parks of their own have come to look at Carnduff ’s as a model to follow. It’s been that good.

Currently, the executive committee of the Bark

Park consists of nine ladies and they’re not interested in maintaining the status quo. They hold fundraiser BBQs every year to raise money to maintain the park (this year’s BBQ was the first since 2019 due to COVID) and they’re planning to create a memorial section to help keep alive the memories of dogs who have gone to the ultimate Bark Park in the sky. The committee also invites the community to join in for a clean-up day every year but usually only their spouses respond.

The Bark Park has been a howling success. The bark of trees was good but the bark of dogs enjoying their freedom is so much better.

Recollections of Eucharistic Mysteries

By Ken Rolheiser

On the day of my First Communion I was dressed in white. My Uncle teased me that I was wearing underwear. This did little to diminish the significance of the day.

Anamnesis, a Greek word meaning recollection, is used to describe the mystery of Christ’s command, “Do this in memory of me”. In Plato’s philosophy this word described a remembrance of things from a supposed previous existence.

Within this context we make Jesus present in the eucharistic mystery by recalling his death, Resurrection and Ascension.

The word Eucharist comes from Latin and Greek roots meaning gratitude and rejoice. With this backdrop to our liturgical gatherings, it is real and honest to be grateful to all who come.

God is pleased that you are there. Your attendance is important to your personal spirituality.

It follows that what we remember in this gathering is crucial to our continued spiritual growth. The choir may invite us through themes like Psalm 34 v.8: “Taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are they who trust in Him!” How gracious the Lord is!

A Eucharistic prayer may echo words like: “Send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.”

Thus we enter again into the same paschal mystery that we have experienced before, perhaps even in early childhood. Mindful of the words of Jesus, “Do this in memory of me,” we fulfill the wish of Jesus, “Do this to make me present.”

An older version of the Anglican Book of Prayer 1928 included the words: “that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his Body, and our souls washed through his most precious Blood”.

Christ’s real eucharistic presence is his promise of everlasting life.

“I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever.” (John 6:51). Let us be mindful of the mystery that Jesus died for us all when we were yet sinners. “…every time you eat this bread and drink the cup, you are proclaiming his death.” (1 Corrinthians 11:26). In remembrance of Christ, we repeat this eucharistic action; we recall his death and resurrection to become alive in Christ again and again.

The act of recollecting our first experiences of the eucharist does much to enrich our spiritual lives. Like in the song the “Little Brown Church in the Vale”, our earliest memories often involve family in a eucharistic community.

My “Church in the Vale” was an old stone church on a hill two miles west of George Rolheiser’s farm. There my parents, my siblings and I gathered every Sunday and Holy Day to be renewed, refreshed and challenged to go forth and bring about the Kingdom of God. We are still asked to leave the tabernacle and go into the highways and hedges, to look for the ragged and naked, the oppressed and the needy.

Those who have lost hope!

It is through service to others that we will enter heaven. The gate of heaven is a service entrance, says Father Brendan McGuire. One golden rule for employees in the hotel service industry once was that if you came in through the front door you were immediately terminated.

What would they see looking at your house?

Shelley Luedtke Think of some of the descriptors you might use to describe the home in which you currently live. Homey.

Comfortable. Spacious.

Beautiful. Landscaped.

Sustainable. Colonial.

Rancher.

Craftsman.

You get the idea. We can come up with many words to describe the space, architecture, finishes and whatever else we consider important to describe the home in which we live. But I was taken aback this week by a description I wouldn’t have considered. And for that I was humbled.

A woman working with refugee resettlement sent a picture of her house in Outlook to someone currently living in a refugee camp.

It was part of an effort to introduce herself and her life here to someone awaiting resettlement.

The response to seeing a picture of her house? He said, “It looks peaceful.”

Clearly he was coming from a very different

perspective. I can only imagine the conditions he would have had to escape to now look at a picture of a large, beautiful home with interesting architecture and a lovely landscaped yard and think one thing…peace.

It struck me how differently I look at a house.

I see square footage, number of bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom finishes, and outdoor living space. But for others, perhaps it’s what they don’t see that makes it entirely distinguishable.

Bullet holes. Blasted out walls. Or a family fleeing out the back door while enemies try and enter the front.

A lot has happened in our country and around the world since we last gathered to mark Canada Day. A reckoning of our own nation’s past.

The takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban.

Mass shootings. Violent protests. Continued civil war in Ethiopia.

And Libya, Mali, Myanmar, Syria and Yemen.

Terrorist insurgency in Algeria, Chad, Mozambique, Tanzania and Tunisia. The invasion of Ukraine. Sadly, I could go on.

Those who know peace may not always realize what they have, because consider this: according to the United Nations two billion people around the world are living in conflict affected

areas. Two billion. That is fully one quarter of the world’s population.

What they know is terror, devastation and loss. Loss of life, loss of freedom, loss of homes, loss of livelihood. One of those losses is enough.

Imagine experiencing all of them at once. Far too many don’t need to imagine because it is their reality.

Shahid, his wife and family, left their home in Aleppo, Syria when the fighting became so intense there was no safe place to take cover any longer. After fleeing to the mountains, they hid for several days until they got help to reach a “quiet region” in northern Iraq. With a few other families they now make their home in an abandoned factory.

It isn’t luxurious. Many would say it isn’t even comfortable. But…and this is the key for them… it is peaceful.

A 14-year-old girl named Shafaq lives with her family in Lebanon. Constant moving throughout the country in search of safety has put her two years behind in school. She says where they currently live is an area chosen “because we want to survive.” But she knows this living situation, too, is temporary as she states, “Every day I wonder where I will be tomorrow.”

We can read the sto-

ries of those escaping war zones, famine, persecution, civil war and so many other unthinkable conditions, but as good as those accounts are they give us a glimpse at best. I don’t know that we can begin to understand what it does to the physical and mental well-being of those trying to survive the horror of circumstances far beyond their ability to do much about. They are at the mercy of others with decision making power.

Victims of evil, greed and corruption. Trying to withstand oppression and persecution. Longing for safety. Seeking peace. Searching for hope.

While it is true we need to take good care of the places we live if we want them increase in value, there’s much more reason to properly care for the places we call home. Whether it’s a house, apartment, trailer, or townhouse; Victorian, mid-century modern, Tudor or cottage, in their essence they are simply places to live. But there’s nothing simple about the divergent circumstances we find ourselves in from so many others.

Perhaps one of the most important things you could do this Canada Day is look around and marvel that the place we call home looks…peaceful. That’s my outlook.

An 85-year Hands Across the Border tradition of unity

By Paul Kimball

We hear of tensions between Canada and the United States. Unwanted tariffs, trade wars, border disputes, the list is lengthy. But residents of border towns experience more unity than disagreement.

For instance, did you know that Sherwood, North Dakota used to pay for border guards to work longer hours on the 4th of July so that Canadians could stay out longer to watch the fireworks? This cost was factored into their celebration budget.

Another example of oneness rather than divisiveness are the Memorial Day/Remembrance Day services honouring the sacrifices of men and women in keeping

our freedom. Every year, American veterans travel to Carnduff on November 11 and Canadian Legion members reciprocate by attending the Memorial Day service in Sherwood.

In Sherwood, members do more than simply attend. This year, for the 85th consecutive year, Canadians and American took part in Hands Across the Border. Many border towns have tried their own version of this but none have lasted.

Except for what happens at the Carievale/Sherwood border.

During the COVID years, this event had to be altered but it was never canceled. Since 1937, Canadian hands have joined American hands at this location.

This is what happens.

Legion members exchanging flags at Hands Across the Border on Memorial Day. Facebook photo Members of the Canadian Legion in Carnduff drive across the border north of Sherwood to park their cars. They then walk back to the Canadian side of the border and stand there, waiting for American Legion members to walk

from their cars to meet them. A representative of each Legion bears their national flag and upon meeting at the border, exchange them.

Those flagbearers then exchange a drink from a flask and, as a unit, walk back to their parked cars

and drive into Sherwood for the Memorial Day service.

There was a time when the Legion members would walk all the way to Sherwood, but aging has made that too difficult for some.

What a tradition of

unity! It started when border guards on each side of the border exchanged flags and it has blossomed in this 85year tradition.

International unity still exists. Just ask the Legion members of Carnduff and Sherwood.

Indigenous dancers perform at Moose Mountain Lodge

By Gord Paulley June 21 was National Indigenous Peoples Day. Five young White Bear First Nations children visited the Carlyle nursing home and thoroughly entertained the residents.

Jeanne Lonechild is the recreation director of Moose Mountain Lodge.

“Jenelle Bigeagle is a friend and an employee here at the nursing home. She has two sons that perform traditional powwow dancing. I

contacted both her and Kayla Maxie who has three daughters that dance. We brought them together and the result was a great hour of entertainment for our residents and staff.”

Peoples Day takes place on the summer solstice, which is June 21. It is a special occasion to learn more about the rich and diverse cultures, voices, experiences and history of First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples.

The brothers performing in native regalia were Bayda and Jacy Bellegarde. The sisters that danced in their colourful dresses were Cyanna, Lakelynn and Aubree Buffalo.

Lonechild is also a

collector of native memorabilia and artifacts. In recognition of this special day, she has several pieces of beautiful art, sculpture and beadwork proudly displayed in the recreation room at Moose Mountain Lodge.

Happy Canada Day! Collection of interesting facts about Canada Each year on the first day of July, people across Canada celebrate Canada Day. Canada Day commemorates the anniversary of the Canadian Confederation. On July 1, 1867, the separate colonies of Upper Canada, Lower Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were united, forming a single dominion within the British Empire. That dominion was named Canada, which is

why Canada Day is often described as “Canada’s birthday.”

Canada Day marks a great time to learn more about this beautiful, prosperous country.

• Canada is the second largest country by total area in the world. Only Russia has more total area than Canada.

• Despite its size, much of Canada is uninhabited.

Specific estimates vary, but it is widely accepted

that more than 80 percent of Canada is uninhabited.

Occupying the northern region of North America, Canada is, particularly in its northernmost regions, cold, rocky and snowy.

That makes much of its northernmost regions unsuitable for human inhabitants.

• Canada is often considered the northernmost part of North America, though that is not necessarily

accurate. Greenland lies on the eastern edge of the North American tectonic plate, which means it is technically part of North America, even though its cultural influences are decidedly European. The World Atlas notes that, if Greenland is considered part of Europe, then Cape Columbia in Nunavut, Canada, is the northernmost point in North America.

• Data from the United

Nations indicates that the population of Canada as of spring 2022 was around 38 million people.

• According to the World Population Review, the median age in Canada in 2022 is 42.2 years. By contrast, the median age in the United States and Mexico is 38.1 and 28.3, respectively.

• Though hockey is the sport most widely associated with Canada, more Canadian youths

play soccer than hockey.

While the organization Canada Soccer reports youth participation at right around one million players, Hockey Canada reported that around 606,000 youths played hockey in 2019-20.

Canada is a beautiful and fascinating country with a rich history. Canada Day marks a perfect time to immerse oneself in Canadian historian and modern life in Canada.

Eddie Stockton - Thanks for the Memories

By Gord Paulley Recently, the Observer was honoured to interview one of the children of longtime Carlyle resident, Eddie Stockton. Jerri Laird and her husband Ian have lived in Wawota since 1974. They are retired schoolteachers and have three children, Tyler, Megan and Allison. They have five grandsons and three granddaughters.

Jerri had just visited the Rusty Relics Museum who greatly appreciated her donation of a treasure trove of history belonging to her father. Eddie was one of four children born to Walter and Mary Stockton in 1924. He and his brother Russell owned and operated Stockton Electric on Carlyle’s Main Street for decades which eventually became a furniture, giftware and appliance store. The family business was sold in 1992 and that building is now the home of Carlyle Sew and Sews, owned by Tanya Robertson.

In 1946, Eddie attended Ryerson Polytechnic Institute (now Ryerson University) in downtown Toronto and obtained training in radio technology. He married Joyce Redman in 1947 and they had two children, Jerri and Teddy. Teddy, now

64, resides at the Moose Mountain Lodge. For 17 years after Joyce’s passing, Stockton’s companion was his long-time friend Shirley Kells. She was the widow of Gordon F. Kells for whom the Carlyle High School is named after. Eddie passed away in 2010.

Laird was more than happy to reminisce about her father and provided some fond recollections.

“Dad was a quiet but very interesting man. He loved collecting things and cataloguing them. He enjoyed documenting history and was an accomplished photographer.”

Stockton was a jack of all trades and was very good at whatever he did.

He owned an extensive gun collection although he never went hunting.

Together with his brother Russell and others including Les Hewitt and Harold Brown, he helped form the Carlyle Flying Club in 1956. He was on the local school board for many years as well as the Carlyle United Church.

He was on the Carlyle Memorial Hall building committee.

Every year, Stockton flew to a fly-in fishing camp with his friends Gerry Ferguson and Walker Read. He and his golfing buddies would

also fly to the occasional out-of-town tournament.

In fact, when in business, he and his brother would fly to neighbouring towns to provide repairs and service to many of the appliances they had sold.

He enjoyed woodworking and Jerri still has many of the works he crafted including a Victorian doll house. Stockton played hardball and was a Carlyle Minor Ball Coach. He enjoyed skidooing and the family had a cabin at White Bear Lake.

In addition to the boxes of newspaper clippings and documented scrapbooks, Laird also provided the museum with several Edison Blue Amerbol Records. These tube-like wax cylinders held music that can be played on a phonograph. And of course, oodles and oodles of photographs. Stockton did not travel about town without his trusted pocket Canon Camera. If there was an elevator being torn down, a new house being built or an old hotel being demolished, he was there to document the historic occasion.

Included in one of his many envelopes were pictures dating back to the 1950s. Many of the high school photos from this collection were of many residents that are still alive today. Some of the recognizable faces included Frank Faber, Ralph Lothian, Donna Macdonald (Purvis) Berniece Wilson (Krieger) Don Pontius, Boyd Cochrane, Wilma Young (Lothian) and Don Jarvis.

With his university background and insatiable appetite for learning, Stockton was one of

the first residents to film various functions and celebrations before videotaping them in later years.

His services were always in high demand and according to his daughter he never charged a penny for his time.

Added Laird, “My dad had a dry sense of humour and always liked a good laugh. He was always inventing things and was very creative. I remember tobogganing down the big hill at the Kenosee Lake Golf Course. It was a quick trip down and a long walk back. He attached a tow rope to his truck axle to winch us up to the top.

Dad was very inventive and adventurous.”

The Rusty Relics Museum appreciated this Stockton donation of history and will be eagerly spending hours and hours cataloguing each and ev-

Jerri Laird at the Rusty Relics Museum displaying her family treasures. Picture submitted by Gord Paulley ery one of these cherished memories. One more set of family treasures is being added to the local museum for the enjoyment of everyone. Concluded

Laird, “Carlyle is so fortunate to have the Rusty Relics Museum. The Stockton’s are more than happy to contribute to its history.”

Elda Duffus told a joke or two to launch the

lunch and then read a Father’s Day poem.

All in all, it was a very pleasant gathering and gave people an opportunity to become reacquainted after a few years of social distancing.

Buddy’s Pub a great historical site to visit

By Stephanie Zoer Everyone in and around the Arcola area has either heard of Buddy’s Pub or have devoured a delicious meal from this place.

Buddy’s Pub is located on Main Street in Arcola. It is a provincial site and one of three opera houses that remain in Saskatchewan. It has also been called the High House, as it can be seen long before you arrive.

This massive threestory brick building was once the Arcola town hall, the firehall and also council chambers.

Upon entering the front doors, you will see the large cast iron bell adorning the foyer, right beside the original wooden stairs that will bring you to the second floor.

The staircase that takes you to the second level has seen many feet travel up them to see the massive layout of the bar. Do not forget to look up, look way up and you will see the vaulted tin ceiling and the upper level.

One of the longest wooden bars in western Canada is also on this

level, and it takes up the one wall, with the old cash register placed in the center. It has remained in this location as the old register is extremely heavy.

There is elaborate woodwork throughout the structure, including the original staircases and floors. When standing on the third level mezzanine, the view is spectacular, as the whole second level can be observed and the impressive woodwork that accompanies the bar.

The roof needed repair 11 years ago, but this time it was done with tin, and not the original cedar shakes.

Be it a wedding, Christmas event or a work gathering, the mezzanine has hosted a great deal of them, along with parties galore on the second floor.

In September of 2007, the pub would receive new owners.

Ronnie Aschenbrenner and her partner Gary Kerr came from Tumbler Ridge, B.C. and loved the place.

Aschenbrenner said, “they loved how it made them feel at home,” so they bought

it. The landscape was quite the change from B.C., but they loved the flat and the openness of the prairies.

“Over the years it has seen many impressive bands that have entertained us and some unusual events from all over,” said Aschenbrenner.

This place offers a full menu, including the famous Buddy’s burger and the homemade beer burger. They offer AAA steaks and racks of ribs. It is also fully licensed for a cold brew on a sizzling summer night. You could also challenge a friend to a friendly game of pool, or just sit back and relax.

The pub is so large that over the years it has offered space for lease to other local businesses, but at present those spaces are empty.

With the cozy atmosphere, it became a place for locals to gather for a social, or just a family dinner. It was the goto place in Arcola. The pair have loved the pub and have diligently worked at the pub for the past 15 years.

Recently an incredibly special occasion

Buddy’s Pub was built in 1906 and is one of three remaining opera houses in Saskatchewan. Photo by Stephanie Zoer took place at the pub.

On June 14, Kerr and Aschenbrenner got married after being together for 40 years.

Family came from afar to help the couple celebrate, along with close friends. It was a time for joy and laughter.

Like so many things in life, times change and so the pub is being offered for sale. Due

to major health issues, their focus has needed to change. Although it is not listed through a realtor, it is listed privately. Contacting the pub will get you more information if you are interested.

At the same time, it remains open for business as usual. Business is beginning to pick up once again with the

pandemic over and regular hours can now be maintained.

So, if you are out for a leisurely drive and have never see this outstanding place, and would like to see a piece of Saskatchewan history, drive on over to Arcola and take in the fabulous tour of Buddy’s Pub. It truly is a must-see place.

Sports Golf Kenosee wins Senior Ryder Cup

By Gord Paulley Last week, the annual Senior Ryder Cup competition between Golf Kenosee and White Bear Lake took place with Golf Kenosee successfully retaining the Senior Ryder Cup. The matches took place on June 20 and June 23.

On day one, the White Bear golf course hosted the event, which was a two-person better ball.

White Bear won four of the six matches played.

Day two at Golf Kenosee made for a different result with the veteran golfers on their home turf defeating the White Bear team 8-4 in individual match play. The final two-day total point score was Golf Kenosee 10, White Bear 8.

Representing Kenosee Lake were Ken Appell, Dennis Beauchesne, Pat Coffey, Mel Costache, Ben Dubois, Ken Ferguson, Chuck Huber, Bryan Hookenson, Brent Lothian, Doug Rintoul, Ron Roth and Jim Walker. White Bear participants were Tom Chell, Rick Haacke, Kelly Johnson, Ian Kelln, Dean Leach, Dave Lesiuk, Terry Littlechief, Dennis Lizick, Rob Nieviadomy, Gord Paulley, Dave Poitras and Fred Pollock.

Ben Brown and Brent Lothian were the cocaptains for the winning team, Earl Silcox and Clarence Gelowitz co-captained White Bear. This was the fourth year of Senior Ryder Cup competition.

The White Bear team was victorious in the inaugural event, with Golf Kenosee now on a three-year winning streak. The year five rematch is scheduled for June of 2023.

Said Brown, “It was a great two days of golf.

Most of the matches were close, thoroughly entertaining and got the competitive juices flowing. There were also a lot of laughs.”

Southeast Saskatchewan is fortunate to have two of the top-ten 18-hole golf courses in the province. They are located just minutes away from one another.

Members from both courses regularly play each other’s layout, as do many local and outof-area golfers.

Kipling golfer is only 18, and has played for 11 years

By Stephanie Zoer

Having a love for golf started at an early age for Winston Greyson.

This young man is only 18 years old and has been golfing for 11 years.

Greyson received his first set of golf clubs at

the age of seven from his dad, Jason, and his grandfather, as his dad is also a resolute golfer.

With just graduating from the Kipling high school this year, Greyson will spend his summer at Kenosee Lake. He works as part

of the maintenance crew on the golf course there, and the rest of the time he is golfing.

Although Greyson plays baseball for the midget and senior teams in Kipling during the summer and hits the ice in winter as a goalie in hockey, but his passion is golfing.

His plan is to take a year off of schooling and go to work. He would love to work for the same company as his dad in the oil industry, come fall when the golf courses are closed up.

In school Greyson enjoyed math and science. Greyson said, “I’m kind of a numbers guy.”

He is thinking about taking a business degree after a year, but for now it is work and golf.

The Maple leaf Junior Tour has at least 100 tournaments and he participates as much as he can. It spreads from Estevan to Warman, Regina to Saska-

toon and over to Swift Current. The first two weeks in July he will play in Estevan, then he will be off to Regina and after that he will be on his way to Prince Albert. Of course, it is his hope to win at a couple of these.

For every serious golfer, it is their dream to head south, and Tiger Woods is always who they wish to meet or beat.

Greyson said, “I have great family support.

My dad is always giving me advice or pointers.”

He is very appreciative of his family’s support.

He said, “although my mom isn’t into sports much, she is great support, along with my sister.” “I’m very thankful for this.”

It is his hope to get to Orlando, Florida one day. So, here is hoping that young Greyson will put Saskatchewan on the map someday through his golfing.

Lampman Recreation Board receives large donation from Tundra Oil and Gas, and Kingston Midstream

By Stephanie Zoer The Lampman Recreation Board was ecstatic when they received word on a $514,000 grant to help with the upgrades of the Lampman’s ice rink system.

According to Dustin Ferguson, a rec. board member, Brittany Sutherland worked diligently on this grant, and her challenging work paid off.

Sutherland is the recreation director.

The Lampman arena needs a new ice system, as the one they have is old and parts are becoming difficult to obtain. The ice plant has two compressors that run on a R20 refrigerant. This R20 refrigerant and power are extremely high in cost and the biggest expense during the winter months.

It cools both the curling and ice rink. Ferguson said, “It is the heart of the rink, and the rink is the heart of the community.”

When Ferguson became a Lampman town council member, they began working on an asset management plan, and the recreation board

quickly told them of the much-needed upgrade at the rink.

Once they knew they would get the grant, they tried to lock in prices.

Due to the length of time and the uncertain market, they were unable to do this. Although the group was excited about the $514,000 grant, it would not cover the cost of the equipment needed, as the cost had increased to around $700,000, if not more.

After contemplating on what to do, the board decided that through volunteer work they could do the demolition work themselves, along with the prep work and construction. It would save them about two percent, as letting the grant go was not an option.

They had toured Balcarres as they have a thermal syphoning plant.

With a couple of modifications and a larger condenser, it could save them 20 percent on power.

Not only was it cost efficient, but environmentally friendly, which was a huge plus, so the renovations began.

The Lampman Recreation Board graciously accepts two, $50,000 donations for the rinks ice system. From left, Dustin Ferguson (Lampman Town Council/Rec. Board member), Blaine Fornwald (R.M. Browning council member/Rec. Board member), Candice Englot (Kingston Midstream Adm. Operations West), Kris Hollingshead (Kingston Midstream Superintendent Operations West, Control Center), Trevor Deren (Kingston Midstream Maintenance Foreman), Blake Fornwald (Rec. board Chairman/R.M. Councilor), Craig Lane (Vice President production operations Tundra Oil and Gas), Ryan Saxon (Rec. Board member/Lampman town Council). Photo by Dustin Ferguson Ferguson said, “we have been working hard on fundraising as well, reaching out to businesses, in the hope to get help with our short fall.”

Well, it worked. Tundra Oil and Gas donated $50,000 and Kingston Midstream matched that with another $50,000 donation.

Richardson

owns both these companies.

Ferguson said, “our community is profoundly grateful and appreciate what these companies have done. They are helping us to sustain our rink, to keep it operating.” Ferguson went on to say, it is companies like this that keep our facilities going,

and we cannot do it without them.

A lot can happen when people pull together, and this is the case with the people of Lampman.

The Lampman rink is home to seven hockey teams and a few part-time teams. It offers a Tot skating program for youngsters four and under and

also public skating.

In the fall a huge fundraiser is planned. It is tentatively booked for October 22 at the Lampman School. The details have not yet been finalized, but it sounds huge. So, mark your calendars and stay tuned for further details in the future, as you will not want to miss it.

Here we are In the last week of June and sick of so much rain and wind but things sure are growing.

Many different flowers are blooming and it’s looking nice outside.

Inside, we enjoyed bingo, Mary and her guitar for a hymn sing and a

church service from Roy Bortoloto.

We all enjoy any outside activities.

Get well wishes to our gal, Judy.

We hope to see you soon in the tub room.

Dawn has bright Canada Day decorations Inside and out. We are getting ready for summer.

Greetings to our resident Fred and former resident

Lucienne in Deerview Lodse, Wawota.

Our sympathy goes to Gwen Donais and family on the passing of her mother, Ruth Dennis.

She was very much a part of our Villa family and we miss her.

I had an outing to Wawota for a perm, pedicure and coffee with a good friend,which made for a great day.

The Maryfield Grad class came to visit us on Saturday and told us their names and future plans. Three of the graduates were children of our Villa personnel.

We loved seeing them in their finery and wish them well in their future endeavors.

Sask. Trucking Association to host appreciation BBQ to thank drivers The Saskatchewan Trucking Association will be hosting an appreciation barbecue at the Estevan weigh scale on July 7 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.

The association wants to thank all professional drivers who keep the provincial economy rolling.

They will be handing out free hamburgers and hotdogs to the truck drivers going through.

Jordan Ewart, manager of policy and government relations with the Sask. Trucking Association, said it will be the first time for them to host an appreciation barbecue in Estevan. They’ve done one in Regina before.

“Coming out of COVID, it’s a good time to just get out and say thank you to all the drivers,” Ewart said. “Trucking really does touch every part of our province. And they make sure that the people in this province have all their essential goods, and food, and medicine and whatnot. So, we just want to get out and say thank you to all the professional drivers who keep our economy rolling. So, we’ll be at the Estevan weigh scale on Highway 39, and we look forward to talking to a number of drivers.”

The event is put on by the STA and their membership and Dunn Transport out of Carlyle is sponsoring the food.

While the barbecue is aimed at showing appreciation to the truck drivers passing through the weigh scale, if the public wants to come, show their appreciation and have a lunch, they are welcome to join.

through all the hoops to be legal, who store their firearms and use their firearms for sport shooting and hunting responsibly. Criminals and anyone wanting to do harm with a firearm don’t give a rats behind about all laws the Liberals can dream up. But then why would anyone really be surprised considering Trudeau and his gang of clowns ca-

Stoughton Graduates shine through the wind and rain

By Stephanie Zoer The Stoughton graduating class of 2022 fought through the wind and rain to create a memorable event on June 25.

There was not an empty chair in the place as each graduate was escorted into the black and gold decorated gymnasium by their parents.

While walking in, the

master of ceremonies for the evening Dan Graf spoke about each graduating student’s accomplishments, their favorite memory from school and their plans for the future.

Once the graduates had all arrived, Jacquie Walbaum opened with the singing of O Canada, while an honour song was performed in Nakota by the Ocean Man drum group.

Easton Berner and Greyson Goudy thanked the parents for all the challenging work in raising them. For taking them to endless events and for lunches made daily over the past 12 years. They continued to say, thank you for all the encouraging words as they step into the future.

Amanda Goudy and Sheila Berner were the two parents selected to respond to the students.

These two moms went on to say, that there is no manual for raising kids and that they hoped they had done a respectable

While speeches continued and jokes were made, in the end it was said, that these young adults were fabulous.

They were never afraid to tackle anything that was thrown at them.

SECPSD found their new director just down the hallway

The South East Cornerstone Public School Division board members followed the general head hunting rituals when it came time to find a new director of education to oversee business in their sprawling school division that includes 37 school facilities, 8,300 students and 1,100 employees.

The call went out to procure a replacement for Lynn Little who had announced her retirement plans earlier in the year.

The professional company contracted to find just the right person to fill the demanding role, did the due diligence and spread the word out in all directions across a wide swath of territory. But, when it was all said and done, the answer, the person, Keith Keating, was just down the hallway from Little’s office. He is now collecting his desk and office items in cardboard boxes and carrying them a few dozen yards to his new digs.

Keating has an additional edge while taking over the director’s duties this summer. He’s a homegrown product who is familiar with the nuan-

ces of southeast Saskatchewan and its unique status in the province.

Born in Estevan, raised in Carievale, Keating graduated from Carnduff High School and then ventured over the provincial line to achieve a B. Ed. degree from Brandon University in 1999. He later completed a Master’s degree in education at the University of Regina in 2007. He had taught in Creighton, Sask., near the more northern Saskatchewan/Manitoba border before moving on to Benson School to be principal in 2000. Keating then found a teaching and administrative home at Haig, an elementary school in Weyburn, where he served as vice-principal and then principal before moving on to Weyburn Junior High School as principal.

Keating then moved into even more administrative operations beginning in 2011 as a south area superintendent and later superintendent of schools in the western region of the SECPSD division.

Another major move saw Keating hired as the

division’s deputy director of education in 2017, a move made by the school board trustees and director Little.

Keating acknowledged the upcoming challenges will be met head-on, beginning with a tweaking of the head office composition, a move that has been contemplated for a while and will come as no surprise to administrative staff as the division continues to deal with underfunding from the provincial government sources.

“It’s part of the trimming process and was done in an attempt to keep as much impact away from the classroom level as possible,” he said, noting there have been a number of restructuring and downsizing moves made within the head office environment over the past five years. This year a staff reduction move needed to be made on the front lines, which was lamentable, but necessary, to keep the ongoing operational deficits down to a more reasonable level.

It’s now time to look at the administration structure again and the chan-

ges were already underway before Keating took on this leadership challenge.

Changes are anticipated at the superintendent, financial, human resources and payroll portfolios, among others.

“We are combining more areas again to find even more efficiencies and with a few resignations/ retirements some will take on additional leadership duties,” he said.

But, in the meantime, Keating said he was excited to be moving into the new role and extended a note of thanks to the board and Little for their support. He’s been at the governance table as part of their business sessions for the past five years, so he’s well acquainted with the people around the table.

“We are currently developing an interim plan for improvements that will guide our work next year. We will be using the provincial plan and input we received from parents and staff to set plans for next year. During the course of next year we expect we will be building

into the next seven-year provincial education plan,” he said, referring to the long-range goals the province and division will be establishing.

“There will be an opportunity for all to provide input from the division, the schools, parents, students … for the school learning plans.”

Keating said it was a positive sign for the start of his new assignments that at least a huge chunk of the COVID pandemic challenges have ended in terms of school settings, but vigilance is still required.

“It’s always better to be able to plan when schools, students, parents and teachers can come together,” he added, noting that opportunities often arise through meeting challenges.

Keating is looking forward to helping those assigned the duties of providing the best services for students in all the schools, large and small.

“I keep that at the forefront of my thoughts,” he said.

With an already existing excellent staff on the

Keith Keating ground and in the head office, he feels that this new era of post-pandemic educational experiences will enable the division “to build some bridges back up following some disengagement during the pandemic.”

Keating concluded by saying he had a huge note of thanks to extend to the outgoing director Little and was thankful for her support during the transition, and he was now looking forward to meeting with the other leaders in the various sectors of the huge school division.

He hopes to make the experiences of students in schools even more positive as they move towards success and achievement for every student in every school.

Life is good at the poolside for Corey Purves

By Paul Kimball

High on the walls of the Carnduff Pool office, you’ll see walls of fame of a sort. Lifeguarding staff of the past 25 years are listed there and a name that pops up often is Purves.

The current manager of the pool also happens to be a Purves. Corey. When she was born 18 years ago, the manager was Sarah who eventually became her aunt when she married Corey’s uncle, assistant manager Cory.

So Corey comes by lifeguarding honestly.

Her name is on the wall several times. This is her fifth year as a lifeguard, her first as manager. She was assistant manager last year.

Corey has loved the water for as long as she

can remember. She took her lessons in Carnduff and completed all the available levels. She then trained in Estevan, receiving her Red Cross Senior Guard and Water Safety Instructor certificates. Then it was off to Weyburn, where she received a certificate in Pool Operations.

She loves lifeguarding. She is thankful that she has never had to rescue anyone. Some might say that a sign of a really good guard is that they prevent serious accidents from even happening. She also recalls some embarrassing moments. Last summer, as the assistant, it was her responsibility to fill the pool and she forgot to turn off the tap when she went home. When she returned to work the

following day, well, let’s just say that the neighbouring park was very well-watered.

Thankfully, her boo-boo didn’t get in the way of being promoted this summer.

One of the perks in managing her staff of 10 is that she can assign the jobs she’d prefer not to do, like cleaning gunk and dead animals out of skimmers. She also gets to boss around another Purves, her brother Chance.

Purves is also a competitive swimmer. She has been swimming with the Oxbow Sea Wolves and has placed as high as seventh in provincial competitions. That was in Rosetown in 2019 when she competed in the breaststroke event.

Her competitive swimming has lessened late-

ly as the coach of the team stepped down. It seemed like the team might have to fold, so Purves stepped up and now coaches the team.

She’s hoping to swim in the provincials again, but being coach might provide too much of a distraction.

This summer might signal the end of Corey’s lifeguarding career.

She is graduating from Grade 12 and plans to attend Canadian Tourism College in Vancouver. After three months of training, her future will be up in the air as a flight attendant. She’ll miss Carnduff. She has been very involved in the community and sports and it’s going to be tough to leave her family and friends. As excited as she is about her future,

Corey Purves making sure all is well in the pool. Photo submitted by Paul Kimball it’s tinged with sadness about what she’ll leave behind.

Corey is a very ambitious young lady. She has

a bright future ahead of her and Carnduff Pool’s wall of fame shows that her past has been pretty good too.
