Carlyle Cardinals three-peat as Saskota champions

By David Willberg For the third consecutive year, the Carlyle Cardinals are the Saskota Baseball League champions.

The Cardinals defeated the Oxbow Chiefs 14-4 in five innings Sunday in Estevan to win the Harbourne Memorial Tournament, which crowns the Saskota champions each season.

Earlier in the day, the Cardinals defeated the host Estevan Tap House Wolves 8-7 in extra innings to make it to the final. Estevan was up 7-2 at one point in the fifth inning, but the Cardinals notched five runs in the bottom of the fifth to tie the game.

Neither team scored again until the Cardinals added the winning run with a double in the eighth inning.

Cardinals’ coach Daniel Rasmussen said their success usually starts with pitching and defence, and this year was no different.

Carlyle had the best record in the regular season at 14-1-1, and they were five games better than the next-closest team, the Es-

The Carlyle Cardinals won the Saskota Baseball League’s Harbourne Cup for the third straight year. Photo submitted tevan-based Southeast Diamondbacks. Carlyle also went 5-0 at the Harbourne.

“We’ve pitched and played really good defence all year round, and that followed through to this weekend. Our pitchers did a great job during … the Friday night game and the two Saturday games, and yesterday (Sunday) as well. Our pitching and our defence really kept us in it, and gave us a chance to do

the work that needed to get done.”

They also hit the ball very well this year, and averaged more than 10 runs per game in the playoffs.

In the final, the Cardinals gave up four runs in the second inning to trail 4-0, but then scored six in the bottom half of the frame, and added to the lead until the mercy rule was needed.

“I don’t think you really

expect the final to go that way,” Rasmussen said.

When they find themselves facing adversity, experience is a tremendous asset, Rasmussen said.

“A few of us older guys who have been playing for a while, we’ve been in that situation quite a bit, and we know if there’s any innings left in the game, there’s always a chance, so you have to stick with it.”

He believes seven or

eight players on the Cardinals have been part of all three championships.

“This year’s team and last year’s team are basically the exact same. We had a couple of new guys, a couple younger guys … so we did have a couple more players this year,” said Rasmussen.

The Harbourne Tournament was held in Estevan this year for the first time in more than a decade. It

was previously held annually in Kenosee Lake.

Rasmussen praised the Wolves for taking over managing and running the weekend, and doing a great job.

“The facility was awesome. There was lots going on. You could have two games going on at the same time to not be in a time crunch for the weekend, so that was really nice,” he said.

The Harbourne has always been a lot of fun when it’s been held at Kenosee, but Estevan has wanted it for a while and they showed they can host the event.

The opening games of the tournament were held Friday in Carlyle, Estevan, Carnduff and Oxbow – the communities of the top four teams during the regular season. All games Saturday and Sunday were at Lynn Prime Park in Estevan.

The Kipling Royals, the Redvers As, the Carnduff Astros and the Arcola Threshers were also entered in the tournament.

The Kenosee Cubs didn’t qualify this year.

Annual Manor Fun Daze a tremendous success

By Gord Paulley The Manor Fun Daze Committee held their annual event July 23 before good crowds and with cooler summer weather.

The day was highlighted by that night’s Professional Bull Riders (PBR) competition.

The day started with a parade on Main Street.

The Manor Fire Department put on a barbecue lunch with the 2023 Manor School graduating class manning the food booth. There was face painting, a mechanical bull and a bouncy castle on the grounds.

A barbeque pork and beef supper was catered

by Rylan and Cindy Weir.

The beer gardens were operated by the Fun Daze committee.

Fourteen years ago, the PBR came to Manor, and

it has become an annual stop on their Western Canadian Tour. Points are accumulated at every event based on successful rides and the degree of difficulty.

Blaine Fyson has been the manager of operations for many years and was in attendance.

The Manor competition attracted both junior and professional riders with eight stock contractors providing an impressive lineup of 40 experienced and ornery bulls.

This highly anticipated event began with local flag bearer Ashley Weber and the universal rodeo prayer. Warming up the audience, two Truco trick riders, Shayda King of Corning and Bailey Steeves of Carnduff, entertained the crowd.

Junior bull riding started things off with all sev-

Junior bull rider Kaden Piper of Stoughton was the only one able to survive the full eight seconds.

In the second round of professional competition, Coy Robbins of Camrose, Alta., had a successful ride and had the highest individual point count at 85. Buttar rode Bat Chute Crazy and with two consecutive successful mounts was declared the winner.

While the senior rid-

ers are professional, so are the bulls. During round one, a trio of bulls named Funkadelic, Toxic Traits and Get Ugly shed their riders by a cumulative time of less than six seconds.

“On every ride, cowboys face over a thousand pounds of explosive hamburger,” said the rodeo announcer.

At the conclusion of the Manor event, four of the riders in attendance were ranked in the National Canadian Top Ten. Logan Biever of Claresholm, Alta., is ranked four, Buttar is fifth, Roy sixth and Tetz 10th.

Thirty-five-year-old Aaron Roy has earned over $1 million in his professional career. All are gearing up to qualify for the Canadian Nationals to be held in Edmonton Nov. 12 at Rogers Place.

Local residents in attendance enjoyed the day.

“The trick riders were terrific, and I understand Shayda has been on a horse since she was a toddler. Bailey has only been riding for a few months.

The riders had a challenge as a lot of the bulls were antsy to get out of their chutes,” said Katie Curran.

“Manor Rodeo has always been something we look forward to every summer. The cowboys and bulls always put on a good show and Weir’s supper is fantastic,” added Anita Delalleau.

“Always a great time at the PBR in Manor. The bulls and cowboys were all there to give the fantastic crowd a good show. All the cowboys and behind the scenes helpers need a big round of applause for a job well done. See you next year,” said Shirley McCarron.

Manor Fun Daze treasurer Wendy Zandee was pleased with how the day turned out.

“We had a good crowd for the bull riding and the stands were full. The weather was perfect and we wish to thank all our sponsors, volunteers and those who attended.

We are looking forward to hosting another PBR event in July of 2023.”

Artists on the Hill draw a crowd at White Bear Resort

By Gord Paulley Theresa Fuhr and Mary MacKenzie (also known as Mimi Seton) have been friends and neighbours at White Bear Lake for many years and reside on Clarke Street, overlooking the field where the ball diamond was located.

For years they have been talking about displaying the artistic talents of local residents and in 2022 made their dream become a reality. An open house was held July 23, where in addition to promoting their own work, four other local artists were invited to set up shop for Artists on the Hill.

They included Shelley Leuck, Amanda and Nikita Meyer, and world-renowned artist Michael Lonechild.

Fuhr’s family has owned a residence at White Bear Lake since she was a little girl, and now she owns and operates Art Concepts Custom Framing, an art gallery in Estevan. She has worked with Michael Lonechild for many years and is a huge supporter of the arts in Saskatchewan.

MacKenzie, a lifelong artist, currently paints in acrylics and has gravitated to abstract painting the last few years. She is presently living in Calgary, but Saskatoon was Mary’s home for many years, as she worked in graphic design and illustration.

MacKenzie’s family (Seton/Kirk) has had a cabin on Clarke Street since 1927.

Leuck has a cabin on Wayweychapow Drive

and in the winter resides in Weyburn where she retired as a registered nurse. She creates and sells boutique style jewelry. Amanda Meyer and her daughter Nikita are neighbours of Leuck.

Amanda is the owner of Lake Front Treasures and has been forming her own pottery since 2017. Nikita Meyer is a retailer for Creative Eats, which sells cheesecake in a jar.

Lonechild, now in his 60s, started painting when he was 15. In his younger days, his specialty was old buildings and over time developed his work by adding hard-working Indigenous people to his art.

“I have been painting for over 50 years and in my older days I used oil-based and watercol-

Recently, Lonechild has added vibrant colours to his work, resulting in a spectacular finished product. Many local residents have a Lonechild painting or print proudly displayed on their walls. Lonechild’s work is well-known in North America as well, and has partici-

pated in art shows in Toronto, Denver, and Washington, D.C. He has been sponsored by Pan Canadian Oil and attributes much of his early success to long-time Carlyle resident Bill Ramsey.

All the artists were extremely pleased with the success of this inaugural event.

“We have seen a steady stream of customers and onlookers. I have really enjoyed the turnout and the day,” said Leuck.

MacKenzie was also pleased on how the day turned out.

“I was so pleased to see so many come out for our event and share stories of the lake. We also learned that White Bear Lake is home to many artists and that there is a significant interest in art.”

Fuhr was beaming by the end of the day.

“Never in our wildest dreams would we have imagined such a wonderful turnout. We are already planning for year two in 2023.”

In 1961, 12 students graduated from Carnduff ’s high school.

The date was June 12.

And 61 years later, that class of ’61 gathered in Carnduff for their first-ever reunion.

Unfortunately, not everyone was able to attend. One classmate (George Thompson) has passed away and four others stayed home for various reasons. Travelling can be tough when one is a year or two shy of 80.

The seven who did make it had a great time catching up. The alumni arrived on June 20 and for the next two days, a lot of memory-sharing and eating took place.

This was the first time that some had seen each

other since the night of their graduation.

Most of the visiting took place in the local park and some of the eating happened in the CE Building of the United Church.

A few travelled a long way to see their old school buddies. Joan (Avery) Danis came from Vancouver and Norma (Amos) Asp arrived from St. Catharines, Ont. A friendly debate ensued as to whom had made the longest trip, as Google was not consulted, and Asp conceded, figuring that a flight from Ontario was not as arduous as Danis’ solo drive from British Columbia.

The idea of this grad arose in the minds of Asp and Bill Tosh of Alberta. They contacted

Ross Douglas, who lives in Carnduff, and the wheels went into motion to make an idea reality.

Douglas and his wife Agnes were helped by several local residents in making the reunion happen.

Everyone seemed to have a great time and the reunion came to an end.

But for several, there was more to do. A number joined Vi Day in making a trip out to an old schoolhouse that she has restored and then Danis, who still had some driving in her, hopped into her vehicle and drove another 200 kilometres to visit her 90-plus-yearold Grade 1 teacher in Hamiota, Man. And now the planning begins for a second reunion another 61 years from now.

Apology without action won’t change much

by David Willberg

Pope Francis has been in Canada the past few days, visiting several locations across the country as part of the Catholic church’s efforts to take responsibility for its role in the residential school system in Canada.

He has once again apologized for the forced assimilation that occurred at these schools. He apologized previously, but it carries more meaning this time in Canada rather than at the Vatican.

There are understandably critics of the pope, his visit and the apologies. People are upset with the locations that have been selected. The Vatican cited the Pope’s declining health and lack of mobility, but it would have meant more if he would have gone to the former residential school site in Kamloops, B.C., where the discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves ignited the renewed reckoning over residential schools.

Or perhaps he could have visited the former Marieval site at what is now the Cowessess First Nation in southeast Saskatchewan, where more unmarked graves were discovered.

Instead, he is in Alberta, Quebec and Nunavut.

For some, no efforts will ever be good enough to right the wrongs of the church with the residential schools. They will never forgive the church and others involved in residential schools for what happened. The abuse has resulted in generations of trauma for Indigenous Canadians.

But just because the pope came to Canada and offered an apology, doesn’t mean the issue of residential schools can be put to bed.

It’s important for the rest of us not to ignore or forget about this issue.

There was an incredible amount of talk about residential schools and the atrocities that occurred after the discovery of the mass graves at Kamloops and the former Marieval site.

Graveyards have been discovered at other former residential school sites in the past year. And while there are those who want to ignore the issue, there is one recurring question that needs to be asked: what kind of school needs to have a graveyard in the first place?

But the discussion about the residential schools has slowly faded at times in the past year. It’s been replaced as other issues have arisen. Every once in a while, it’ll be back in the spotlight: the national holiday for truth and reconciliation that was observed for the first time on Sept. 30 of last year; the discovery of additional gravesites; the pope’s first apology; his visit to Canada; his second apology; and any other reason for us to pay attention to this issue.

But there are so many others facing our country and our world, ranging from public health issues to budgets to elections and political leadership races to the Russia’s ongoing war on Ukraine.

We need to fulfill promises to Indigenous communities. For example, the federal government pledged to have long-term drinking water advisories lifted for First Nations communities. Last year, they revealed they are several years behind schedule.

You can argue that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau underestimated how long it would take to solve the problem when he made that pledge, but it’s still an unfulfilled promise. And how do we get into a situation in which some reserves don’t have access to clean water for decades?

We need to recognize that while we can take actions towards reconciliation and greater acceptance, these things will take time. It’s going to take decades of work.

And it’s up to all of us to help them feel accepted.

Do we see what needs to be seen?

Shelley Luedtke Watching the stories of people buying real estate around the world ranks as one of my favourite types of programs.

There are many variations but the common theme is that a camera crew follows along as people search for the best options in a new country for a move brought on either by a job opportunity, change of lifestyle or to serve as a vacation home.

Several focus on hot weather destinations as people imagine themselves living in the perfect island home.

Of all the requirements they have for the dwelling, many list ‘the view’ as among the most important. Often the potential homebuyers will sacrifice square footage or an extra bedroom or bathroom in exchange for the perfect view as they envision waking up to spectacular scenery ev-

ery morning. Budgets creep up or ‘must have’ interiors matter less than a beautiful view.

The American National Parks Service says awe-inspiring vistas are important to 90 per cent of visitors who make the parks a destination each year. Not only do they provide a feast for the eyes, but spending time outdoors taking in pretty view reduces stress and calms anxiety, partly because being outside and taking in natural beauty slows us down and engages all of the senses.

All of that is very good for our overall physical and mental health. But there’s more.

There is what has been described as incalculable value to a local economy when it is able to attract visitors who travel to check out the scenery. In some regions, the resulting spending comes in at millions of dollars. In some places even, it’s more if the area has become more adept at bringing in those dollars without exploiting the natural beauty that brought people in the first place.

For someone who lives in an area noted for its geographical features, is it possible that seeing it every day turns into something

commonplace? Ordinary? Ho-hum? Surely not, or does it?

Several years ago, I met a girl who came from a place with one of those million-dollar ocean views many seek. But, when she came to Canada she was amazed by the trees. On a road trip to a northern community for a soccer tournament, she couldn’t stop taking pictures of all the trees, all the while telling us she’d never seen anything like it and was in awe of its beauty. It caused the rest of us in the vehicle to take a second look. It was stunning.

But perhaps because we had looked at it so much we now failed to see its beauty. A fresh set of eyes helped us see something in a new way. With greater appreciation.

In doing a bit of travelling across the province over the last two summers, I was reminded of the beauty that is all around us.

Although the stereotype paints a picture of flat prairie, our province is far more than a one-note wonder. Yes, there is gorgeous prairie to be sure, as well as forests, grasslands, parkland, sand dunes, lakes, rivers, rolling hills and so, so much more. There are absolute jewels east and

west, north and south, and I hate to admit that more than once I found myself saying, “This is Saskatchewan?” Yes. Yes, it is.

Bring it even closer to home and it is amazing how many wow moments can accompany the stunning vistas and panoramic scenery all around us. While we know there are all kinds of tourism boosters and marketing experts working hard to put our area on the destination lists of people from many places, there is a role for each and every one of us.

The beauty that surrounds us should never be taken for granted.

But sometimes we just don’t take as much time as we should to explore what is right in front of us. We need to get out and experience those views because the more excited we get about them the more others will become intrigued by them.

There are all kinds of million dollars views all around the world.

Attracting tourism dollars is certainly a boon to any of those destinations, but we should also keep in mind that what might make the scenery’s value truly incalculable is what it can mean to those who already call the place home. That’s my outlook.

Matthewson & Co. award bursaries

The recipients for the bursaries from Matthewson & Co. have been selected and they could not be happier.

This program began in 2021 to help small communities and rural areas, where funds are often not available.

There are two categories for the bursaries. One is for a post-secondary student. This student will have graduated in 2022 and will continue their education right away, and the second is for a non-traditional student.

This one is for a person who chose not to go to college or university for at least three years.

Kyle Bye from Manor received the non-traditional student bursary.

Bye is enrolled in the University of Regina, taking his bachelor of accounting. In the future he plans to get his CPA Designation and then continue to get his master’s degree at the University of Saskatchewan.

Bye feels this bursary gives him the opportunity to continue further with his education. Due to rising costs, trying to

balance spending and maintaining a budget, this will help.

“I would like to thank Matthewson & Co. for giving me this opportunity and for helping out my small community,” said Bye. “It is thanks to companies like Matthewson & Co. that us students can continue to work and better ourselves and those around us.”

Jesse Szwaluk received the post-secondary bursary. Szwaluk is from Shoal Lake, Man. Szwaluk works as an apprentice at S.H. Day-

Trudi Griffin is a first-time Artist Colony resident

By Stephanie Zoer Trudi Griffin is dedicated to her quilting and is a first-time resident at the Artist Colony of Moose Mountain Provincial Park.

Griffin was born and raised in Saskatchewan and began sewing at a youthful age with Barbie clothes that she stitched by hand. This progressed into quilting.

She comes from a family of seamstresses.

Griffin’s grandmother, mother and aunt all enjoy the art of sewing.

Griffin received her

teacher’s degree in Saskatoon and taught in B.C. for 12 years. Material was readily available, as Vancouver has an abundance of material shops. Her passion for quilting grew deeper.

She also had the opportunity to teach overseas. While teaching in Egypt, South Korea and Mongolia, she had material shipped in or purchased from the local markets. A sewing machine was needed, so she purchased a Chinese unit that had

Korean instructions in pictograms.

Although she does not make large quilts, she makes an array of different runners, wall hangings, pillows and bags, while using a large variety of colour.

Griffin enjoys working with colour, and often dyes her own material to get the perfect outcome.

She uses stencils, colour marks and embroidery for added touches to her designs.

One method of dying material that Griffins uses is hand-dying with snow. It does not

Happy belated birthday Linda and happy belated anniversary wishes to the two of you, may you have many more to come.

Dale Anthony attended the Manor Parade on July 23 with his antique tractor, a 1939 L John Deere. It’s always nice to see the competitors

with their antiques on display.

The Alida Swimming Pool is now open daily from 1-6 p.m. with a couple of extra hours on Thursday evenings from 1-8 p.m. Swimming lessons are always held in the forenoon. The first set of lessons is over and the second set begins July 25-29 with the last set to be held on Aug. 15-19.

Come out and enjoy our pool, as before one knows it, the pool will be closing down for another year. What I’ve heard and seen so far this season is the pool is a very

popular place to be. Enjoy it everyone, while you can.

It has been fairly quiet around Alida this past week. Everyone is going about doing their own business as usual. The flower pots down Centre Street and in front of some of the business really do beautify our little town. Continue on folks and they will flourish till the end of the season, hopeful for even longer.

Until next time, please remember to keep me posted on any news around town, or with your family. Take care.

Trudi Griffin loves to sew and make quilted creations. Photo by Trudi Griffin get anymore Canadian than that.

Once the fabric has been prepared, it is manipulated and arranged on a screen. Powdered dye is then sprinkled over the fabric, and snow is packed on top

at a depth of three to four inches.

When the snow has melted, the fabric is rinsed, washed, dried and pressed. It becomes a beautiful piece of colour that is completely original.

Griffin is enjoying her time at the colony.

She has set up shop there for the time being, creating more of her quilted pieces and greeting the visitors that come to her cabin.

Celebrate Seniors Glen Lawson recognized by the Optimist Club of Arcola increased as he took on several leadership roles.

Except for a handful of years, he has been either president, vice-president, secretary or treasurer from 1998 to 2022. He has also been the Optimist Foundation representative for several years and at one time was a district lieutenant governor.

In January 2023, the Arcola Optimists will be holding their 30th annual snowmobile rally and lottery. Lawson has been a large part of that committee for over 20 years.

This project has evolved into a major community fundraiser and the net proceeds have contributed to many of the sports and cultural facilities in Arcola and surrounding area.

The Arcola Optimists have made contributions to the swimming pools in Carlyle and Lampman.

They have donated to many of the facilities in Arcola including the Ed Hanna Play Park, the ball

By Gord Paulley Recently, long-time resident Glen Lawson was recognized by the Optimist Club of Arcola for nearly 30 years of exemplary service to the club.

Together with his wife Peggy, and daughters Amy and Karen, Lawson moved to Arcola in 1995 as the principal of the Arcola School. He retired from teaching in 2008 and started doing oilfield work as a hotshot driver and then office work for several small oilfield companies.

Lawson joined the Optimist Club of Arcola in 1996. His first experiences with the club were working the MacMurray Theatre concession with Murray McMillan, Gordie Chandler and projectionist Doug Brownridge.

Brownridge trained him on the projectors and he took over the job.

Lawson’s involvement with the club gradually

And, of course, the rally has allowed the club to renovate and rejuvenate the MacMurray Theatre.

Lawson’s early involvement with the theatre was the concession and then the projection booth. A few years ago, he came up with the idea that they could upgrade to digital projection and did so a couple of years later, as they either had to upgrade or close. For the past eight years, Lawson has played

Lawson and Peggy have two grandchildren, one boy and one girl.

He has fond memories about residing in Arcola.

“Twenty-seven years doesn’t sound like a long time if you say it quickly.

In reality, 27 years is the longest I have lived anywhere in my whole life.

Our daughters grew up here. And I finished my teaching career in Arcola,” said Lawson.

“Membership in the Optimist Club of Arcola was both an honour and privilege. I gave the club many hours over the years and played a part in many projects, but I gained that back and much more in friendship, camaraderie, and a sense of accomplishment in the projects we undertook.

“As a group, the Optimist Club worked to make a great community better for all and I was proud to be part of it. My family and I thank the community of Arcola and the Optimist Club for these great years.”

The next improvements planned include stage lighting and new curtains.

Excluding the two pandemic years, the Optimists have held at least one live concert every year for the past decade and three concerts are planned for the fall of 2022. The theatre holds a special place in

Lawson’s heart and he has been an important part of its success.

Blake Brownridge is the president of the Arcola Optimist Club.

“Glen has been much more than a volunteer in our club, For the past few years, Glen’s dedication has been to many projects in our community but the one that he has really enjoyed is the theatre in town. His vision and countless hours of time learning how the systems worked has helped the club move the theatre into the next chapter of digital projection concerts and overall preservation for many generations to come.

“Everyone at the Optimist Club wishes Glen nothing but the best on his new adventures and says thanks for all your help.”

Recently, a special celebration was held honouring Lawson for his dedication and long-time loyalty to the club. Sarah Anderson, owner of Sarah Anderson Photography, complied a collage of beautiful prints and pictures that were proudly presented to Lawson last month.

In addition to belonging to the Optimists, Lawson has been on the executive of the Arcola Curling

Sports Ronnie Wells plans to golf more often when retired

By Stephanie Zoer Ronnie Wells is a resident of Lampman, and he loves a good game of golf.

Wells was born in Newfoundland. When he was 18 years old, he moved to Toronto for work, along with a couple of his friends.

Wells and his pals began to play golf and thoroughly enjoyed the game. They would play three or four games a week.

“We played every chance we had,” said Wells.

This group of friends were dedicated to the game. They were so determined to play, that even after one of Wells friends contacted poison ivy, when his golf ball launched in the bushes, he continued to finish his round.

Wells moved from Ontario to Fort Nelson, B.C. He was a trucker, and it did not leave time for the golf game that he enjoyed. He was lucky to play four or five times a year.

From Fort Nelson, he moved to Cranbrook, B.C. and began to pick up the game once again.

Now, Wells lives in Lampman with his partner Trina Schell. Although Schell is not a golfer, she encourages Wells to go and enjoy the game. Schell is a teacher at the Stoughton Central School and would much rather read.

For the first time, Wells bought a membership at the Lampman Golf Club so he can golf as often as he likes. He purchased better golf clubs and even invested in a golf cart.

Although Wells does not play in tournaments, he is extremely competitive with himself. He wants to do better each time he plays.

“I want to play well and I’m always looking at ways to improve my game,” said Wells.

At present, he is trying to book lessons with a pro golfer in Estevan so he can correct his swing and get pointers.

Right now, he is building a garage with a mancave attached at the back. In this area, Wells will have a golfing simulator which gives all kinds of data.

It will help Wells with his swing, speed of the ball and distance.

On July 22, Wells was to fly to Newfoundland to visit his parents and play golf on the

A walking aid clinic was conducted on the proper use and heights of our walkers. Very good information was given from Deb Kennett-Russill.

“The Lampman Golf Club is a wonderful place,” said Wells.

“The guys that keep the greens cut and manicured do an excellent job.”

Wells hopes to retire in the next years. It is his plan to play golf more often and enter into tournaments.

“I just love playing golf,” said Wells.

Departing RCMP sergeant grateful for time in Carlyle Submitted by Sgt. Dallyn Holmstrom As my five-year-old boy says after morning cartoons, “all good things must come to an end”.

I’ve been filling in at Carlyle now for 10 months. I can honestly say that my time in Carlyle has been marvellous.

I was lucky enough meet and make friends with so many great people during my time here. I was also lucky enough to take part in so many great community events and tradi-

tions ranging from charity hockey games to the Dickens Village Festival.

I can say with utmost certainty that I will always remember my time at the Carlyle detachment and for good reasons.

When I finished my time in Carlyle, the plan was to return to Moosomin detachment.

However, If the RCMP has taught me anything, it’s that it’s a career that always keeps you guessing and to not let opportunities pass you by. As such, I have accepted a

transfer and promotion to be the staff sergeant at the Broadview detachment. I will be starting there in August and I am really looking forward to this new chapter in my career.

I can also depart knowing that you are in good hands. Staff Sgt. Michael Shortland will be taking over the Carlyle detachment upon my departure.

I cannot say enough positive things about Shortland as he is everything you can hope for in a new detachment commander,

police officer, neighbour and friend.

My only departing worry is that the cows may use this change in command as an opportunity to make a mooove and start a bunch of beefs.

I have arranged members to conduct a steak out and take stock of the situation to avoid making any moostakes after I leave.

Let’s start this week off with one of the better calls I’ve seen reported during my time in Carlyle.

On July 17, the RCMP received a call from a concerned adult female who advised that she just moved out to a farm outside Carlyle and that all her lights and power had just shut off and was not sure what was happening.

The female was notified that there was a power outage in the area and that she would need to wait for power to be restored.

On July 20, RCMP received a call to Arcola where a garage door had been struck by a vehicle that left the scene. Members attended and located the vehicle responsible.

The driver claimed she was suffering from heat stroke but advised that she thought she probably did hit the garage door as there was damage to the front of her truck consistent with driving into the garage door.

On July 21, RCMP responded to a blue Chrysler Intrepid swerving in and out of traffic while travelling from Redvers to Moosomin. The vehicle was cutting off other vehicles on the road and the caller was worried the car would cause an accident.

The Carlyle RCMP trained three new guards to work for the RCMP Bed and Breakfast. I hope everyone stays on their best behaviour as the new guards are very eager and excited to work. I wanted everyone to know they would be in very good hands should they earn a free night stay.

Also that day, RCMP were dispatched to a vehicle rollover in the RM of Brock. The rollover took place when a teenaged

male driving a Dodge Neon drove off the road while taking a corner. As the driver was travelling approximately 40 kilometres per hour, he luckily was not injured during the collision.

On July 22, RCMP and Const. Samowedziuk lead the parade in Manor. The parade was well attended with lots of floats and vehicles taking part. I know the kids in attendance really enjoyed it.

Also on July 22, the RCMP was dispatched to a two-vehicle collision on Highway 605 near Kisbey.

The collision took place when a van ran into the back of a semi-trailer that was stopped and waiting to turn. The van advised that he was unable to see the trailer well enough due to the amount of dust.

The driver of the van was transported to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

That same day, RCMP responded to a call of an intoxicated male causing problems at a residence in Carlyle. RCMP attended the scene and the male actually requested a free night stay at the RCMP Bed and Breakfast as he had nowhere else to go. As the male was outside his residence when RCMP arrived he was arrested for public intoxication. He was released the next morning when he was sober.

On July 23, RCMP responded to a vehicle rollover south of Carlyle on Highway 9. The driver of a Chevrolet Blazer fell asleep and rolled when it entered the ditch. Members attended and luckily the driver was not injured during the incident.

That same day, RCMP received a call from a female employee at The Bar Bar at Kenosee Lake. The female stated that her silver Dodge Durango was damaged while parked at the bar. Carlyle RCMP is requesting anyone with information about this incident to contact the detachment at 306-4536707. Information can be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-

The RCMP attended the fairgrounds and was notified by other patrons that the male was just being a “drunken idiot” but had been taken home by family members. Members reported it appeared everyone in attendance was having a good time and acting responsible.

On July 25, RCMP were called to a residence at White Bear First Nations, where a female youth was grossly intoxicated and trying to fight other people at the residence. RCMP arrested the female youth and lodged her at the RCMP Bed and Breakfast until she was sober the next day. The teenager had breakfast prior to her release and was feeling a lot better.

It’s okay not to be okay I want to ensure that if someone needs help the Suicide Prevention line is always available in the paper for them. We want to encourage everyone to reach out for help and talk to someone if they can. No matter how bad things may seem, remember that they can always get better.

Life can be very difficult to say the least. Please reach out and check in with friends, co-workers, and family to see how they are doing. It’s a perfectly normal question to ask people how they are doing. Don’t let people suffer in silence. If you see someone that you believe needs some help but won’t accept help from you, please let the police or their family know.

In Saskatchewan you can call/text the mental health crisis line at 211 Counselling Connect Saskatchewan or the Canadian Mental Health Association at 1-306-384-9333.

Well Carlyle, it was great while it lasted. I think Porky Pig said it best – “That’s All Folks.”
