Carter Beck is a natural athlete and a star in baseball By Paul Kimball Seventeen-year-old Carter Beck, who lives in Carnduff, does well in whatever sport he touches. You might say that he is a natural. He tried his hand at golf and picked it up quickly, but he doesn’t really have the time for it. His summer job at Swayze’s Concrete keeps him busy, as does another serious interest. This past year, he played volleyball for the Carnduff Education Complex and was a major contributor as the Carnduff Tigers won the bronze medal in the provincial championships. He also plays forward for the Estevan Apex U18 AA Bruins hockey team and has received offers to play at the AAA level, but he has declined as it would take him away from his most serious interest. That interest is baseball. Beck is a very good baseball player. Before the U18 AAA provincial championship began

in Saskatoon a couple of weekends ago, three awards were handed out. Beck won two of them. Based on the 31-game season which had just come to an end, he was named the hitter of the year with a .471 batting average and was awarded the Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League’s MVP, as determined by the league’s coaches. A third award was handed out, the pitcher of the year, but Beck didn’t have enough innings to qualify since he only pitched 13 innings. Even then, he gave up no runs. He has been chosen to play for Team Saskatchewan and will be heading to Niagara Falls later this summer to compete against Canada’s other provincial teams. Beck has played ball for as long as he can remember. First it was T-ball and he just kept moving up. While he was playing at the U15 level, he and his parents realized he was an above-average player, so he started playing for the Southeast A’s, based out of Alameda, in

the Regina AAA league. After two years, he joined the Southeast U18 AAA Twins, based out of Estevan. This year, he helped his team to a 21-11 winloss record and the team reached the provincial semifinal. Whereas the few years of COVID aﬀected so many things, Beck actually saw it as a positive in his development. His dad, Blair, is a school teacher and COVID prevented him from being able to teach for a bit, so father and son used the downtime to strengthen Carter’s playing skills. His throwing improved. Prior to the COVID break, he was able to throw a ball about 115 kilometres per hour; after the COVID break, the radar gun hit 147 kilometres per hour. His catching skills also got better as he and his dad threw the ball back and forth. Baseball isn’t the only thing Beck enjoys doing with his dad; they also have a lot of fun fishing together. Beck is very thank-

Carter Beck was named the MVP and the top hitter in the Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League’s U18 AAA division this year. Photo submitted ful for the support his mother Tara and his father have given him. He knows that they have sacrificed a lot of time and money to help him arrive where he is and that without them, it would not have been possible. He is also grateful for growing up in a place like Carnduﬀ with its strong baseball culture and great

ARRIVING DAILY

facilities. This fall, Beck will begin Grade 12. He is a good student, maintaining marks around 90 per cent. It’s important for him to keep those marks up as he is hoping to receive a scholarship to play ball after graduation. Colleges are interested in baseball skills, but they’re just as interested in scho-

lastic achievements, so Beck plans to work hard to keep those averages up. His ultimate dream is to be drafted by a Major League Baseball team one day and play the game he loves for a living. If past and present success are any indication, that dream doesn’t seem that far-fetched.

Riders and Generals visit White Bear First Nation

Introducing football to the White Bear First Nation. Photo submitted by Gord Paulley By Gord Paulley Last Saturday, the executive from the Moosomin Generals football program held an introductory camp at the White Bear Education Complex. Twenty-two young athletes participated with general manager Jason Schenn and head coach Dexter Mondor in attendance. Two members of the Saskatchewan Roughriders also took part, oﬀensive lineman Jo-

siah St. John and wide receiver Wesley Lewis. Both players were dressed in Rider green, are six foot five inches tall and stood a head above the crowd. Also in attendance were Aimee Kowalski and Josh Donnelly, who are goodwill ambassadors for Football Saskatchewan. Kowalski was the star quarterback for the Regina Riot women’s team for several years and played on Canada’s national team. She urges young women

to compete and take up the sport of football. Football Saskatchewan promotes and further develops the game by increasing participation in amateur football at all levels, improving the caliber of the game, and acting as its governing body and liaison to compete in provincial championships or allstar competitions. Schenn has been general manager of the entire Moosomin football program since 2010. The Generals had 130

athletes registered in spring development leagues and competitive play begins after Labour Day. Moosomin has five teams including under-10 flag football, an under 12 six-player team, and junior and senior nine-player squads. These teams are co-ed and there is also an all-girls’ 18 and under team. The U18 Generals are defending league champions of the Prairie Girls Football League. Mondor, who lives in Wawota, has also been with the Generals since 2010 and is the head coach of the high school and girl’s teams. He has three of his own children participating in the program. Daughter Charlie is 16 and is a running back. Monroe is 13 years old and she is a defensive back. Elven-year-old son Rhys plays oﬀensive line and fullback. “We decided to hold an introductory day of football here at White

Bear as we have several local athletes already playing and others interested in joining the Generals. Football is the ultimate team sport and can be played by nearly everyone,” said Mondor. Youth football teaches kids accountability, leadership, and the impact of positive sportsmanship. Every position has a purpose and to execute a play successfully each individual needs to fulfill their

responsibilities while working together. This is a skill that is valuable both on and oﬀ the field. If you are interested in finding out more about the Moosomin Generals football program, please contact either Jason Schenn at 306-434-7344 or Dexter Mondor at 306-5756013. The program is also on Facebook and they have their own website, generalsfootball.ca.

Seven groups slated for Bow Valley Jamboree

A popular annual music festival is going to make its return to Oxbow next month. The Bow Valley Jamboree will be held on Aug. 6 at Bow Valley Park south of Oxbow, with music starting at 1:30 p.m. There will be a blend of first-time performers and favourites who have been there in the past. Several of the performers will be local. Perennial favourite Downwind, who has been performing the classics since 1979, will once again open the festival. “In the spring of ‘79, an eclectic group of Oxbow-area musicians gathered at the Mellom farm near Northgate and began a journey that’s lasted over 40 years,” states a bio on the Jamboree website. “Downwind played a handful of their favourite songs at local events and began building a repertoire of 60s-70s rock, soul, jazz and blues, with a sprinkling of reggae and country.

“They quickly gained a following of die-hard fans and a reputation for playing every song on the list, no matter how late the hour.” Founding members Earl Mellom (piano), Terry Fraser (bass), Paul Twietmeyer (sax and percussion) and Dianne Twietmeyer (vocals), along with their Downwind bandmates will entertain the crowd. Another group, Dusty Rain, will oﬀer four men and a woman wearing black performing on stage. The band rocks the classics with musicians from Oxbow, Alameda and Estevan. Paul D’Rozario (bass guitar), Dennis Freitag (lead guitar), Rob Wilson (drums), Kirsten Tanghe (keyboards) and Gord Young (lead vocals and acoustic guitar) are part of the band. Teagan Littlechief, who hails from the White Bear First Nation, will be appearing for the first time. She won an

Indigenous Artist of the Year Award from the Saskatchewan Country Music Association earlier this year. “Singing since the age of four, Teagan’s play school teacher overheard her singing Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid and encouraged her mother, Sara, to put her in vocal lessons. Those lessons were the beginning of a lifetime filled with the love of music,” states her bio. A number of singles from her 2009 album Rising Above received radio play throughout Canada and overseas. She is also a long-time anthem singer for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Chris Henderson will be back once again this year. He has appeared on stages such as the Craven Country Jamboree, Big Valley Jamboree, Boots & Hearts, Dauphin CountryFest, The Gateway Festival and many more. He has

Downwind will be back to perform at the Bow Valley Jamboree this year. File photo also been part of the national cast for Telemiracle. “Chris Henderson’s blend of a modern country sound, with strong traditional roots, has quickly helped him become one of Canada’s busiest country recording artists.” He has also been named the Male Artist of the Year at the Saskatchewan Country Music Association Awards on multiple occasions. The Bromantics’ animated performances have proven to fill any size dance floor. Comprised of six members, The Bromantics are a youthful revitalization of the 1950s with brilliant brass tones and doo-wop harmonies. The songs are timeless and the dances are contagious. The Bromantics are a cross between nostalgia and modern trend, attracting people of all ages. “From Louis Prima to Ben E. King, these boys are paying tribute to the

bands that started it all, and performing originals to follow suit.” The Tilted Kilts will also be back at the festival this year. They are known for playing Scottish/Irish music, East Coast kitchen party folk/ rock and even a little punk-rugby hooliganism to keep the crowd entertained. Blu Beach will wrap up the festival. They have opened for Trooper and Streetheart, played live on Telemiracle, and performed at over 30 local gigs. Carter Vosper, Remi Berthelet, Eric Vosper, and Riley Buchberger comprise the indie rock group. There will be added attractions besides the music. Lori Moncrief, who is part of the Oxbow Arts and Cultural Committee, which puts on the jamboree, noted a new board member, Kim Friesen, suggested the organizers print oﬀ photos

from jamborees in years past and post them in a tent area. “It’s really good to have new people bring new ideas, and we’re happy that Kim’s with us,” said Moncrief. There will be food vendors on site and a beer garden. Spectators are encouraged to bring lawn chairs. Admission is $40 for those 19 and up, $25 for students 13-18 and free for children 12 and under. Moncrief said they are proud to be a family-friendly festival. The price of tickets has been consistent for a number of years. “It stirs my heart to see kids running around with their friends, jumping up and down and dancing around in the park,” said Moncrief, who noted there is a playpark within Bow Valley, and people can also enjoy kayaking and boating in the river or hiking on the park’s hills.

New boundaries map shows shift By Murray Mandryk

A decade ago, the Electoral Boundaries Commission carried out the Saskatchewan Party government’s wishes and increased the province’s legislature by three seats to 61. While the governing party made a half-hearted attempt to sell this as better, fairer representation, it wasn’t about fairness. It certainly wasn’t about being fairer to the taxpayers at a time when deficit budgets were piling up into massive public debt. Most other jurisdictions get by with proportionally fewer MLAs. With 61 seats and a population of 1,186,308, Saskatchewan has an MLA for every 19,448 people. By comparison, Alberta, with 4,500,917 people and 87 seats in its legislature, has one MLA per 51,735 people. Sure, Saskatchewan, with its sparse rural population is less compact. But the silly notion argued at the time that it’s difficult for MLAs to get from one end of a constituency to the other didn’t make sense a decade ago — especially for MLAs that move to Regina to live for their cabinet duties or for the personal convenience. (Shouldn’t you have to live in the seat you represent?) Moreover, two years of pandemic and Zoom calls have surely taught us that you don’t have to have inperson meetings. This was all about preserving all of its 29 so-called rural seats that the Sask. Party has handily won since its first general election in 1999, although that now appears to be less crucial than it once was. The 2016 and 2020 elections under the current map saw the NDP reduced to a dozen seats, with the Sask. Party winning traditionally NDP urban strongholds like Saskatoon Riversdale that Roy Romanow and Lorne Calvert represented for decades. With the Sask. Party winning the northern Athabasca riding in a by-election last February, there really isn’t a place where the Sask. Party can’t win anymore. Also, as is evident by the most recent map proposed by the 2022 Electoral Constituency Boundaries Commission, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to fairly maintain as many rural seats as we once had. Adhering to the democratic principle that every vote should be roughly equal (meaning, every seat needs to be of the save size, within plus or minus five per cent of the average), there were some interesting adjustments. The four largest cities still have 30 seats (14 in Saskatoon, 12 in Regina and two each in Moose Jaw and Prince Albert) and there are two seats in the north. Under this new map, most of Regina and Saskatoon seats (23 of the 26) are above the average. That leaves 29 rural seats, 19 of which are smaller in population than average. Besides Yorkton, Swift Current and The Battlefords that have long been small city seats, this map sees the emergence of new bedroom community seats like White City-Qu’Appelle, Warman and MartensvilleBlairmore, which takes in part of Saskatoon). Cypress Hills seat now stretches from the U.S. border to just south of Kindersley. Arm River becomes Dakota-Arm River, stretching from Buffalo Pound Provincial Park to Saskatoon city limits. New seats like Kindersley-Biggar combine seats that were two ridings. This means that that Sask. Party MLAs Randy Weekes (Biggar) and Ken Francis (Kindersley) might have to decide who gets to run there, presuming both seek re-election in 2024. Similarly, Weyburn-Big Muddy (represented by Dustin Duncan) and Estevan (Lori Carr’s seat) have become Estevan-Big Muddy and Weyburn-Bengough, which stretches from the U.S. border to just south of Regina. Such disruption can be found everywhere on this new electoral map.

Tough road ahead for Hockey Canada

David Willberg The past couple of months have not been kind to Hockey Canada. We found out in late May that the governing body for this country’s national winter sport had authorized a financial settlement against a woman who claimed she had been sexually assaulted in 2018 by eight players from the Canadian Hockey League, including members of the Canadian team that won the gold medal at the World Junior Hockey Championship earlier that year. The alleged incident had occurred at a fundraiser in London, Ont. And while the London police conducted an investigation without laying any charges, Hockey Canada came out looking poorly. Since then, the organization has suﬀered more blows. The federal government has frozen funding for Hockey Canada. Numerous high-profile sponsors have withdrawn support. Another woman has stepped forward to

say she was a victim of a sexual assault by members of the 2003 World Junior team. And it’s been revealed that Hockey Canada had an equity fund that was used, among other things, to compensate victims of sexual abuse. Most of that money was paid out to the victims of disgraced former junior coach Graham James, but still, Canadians found it galling that money went to an organization with such a scheme. For those who have taken an idealized attitude towards hockey and the athletes who play it, the past couple of months have been diﬃcult to stomach. We often take a sanctimonious approach to our sport. Other sports might have problems with player conduct. But not hockey. Not our game, with clean-cut players who show up to games wearing suits and ties from a young age. Hockey Canada has been issuing regular news releases about what it will do to prevent these incidents from happening again, and saying that any player who doesn’t co-operate with an investigation will be banned from competing for Team Canada in future tournaments. As a fan of the game, Hockey Canada, the World Juniors and that 2018 gold medal-winning team, I’ll admit it’s been tough to hear. But in the end, if these play-

ers being investigated did do something wrong, then they should be held accountable, not just by the sport, but by law enforcement officials. Some people want to typecast the players and claim that since we’ve had allegations against some unnamed players, all players at all levels are bad. But that’s not the case. Most kids who play the game are quality young people. They’ve been playing the sport since they were five. They play for different reasons, and when it’s time to leave the game, they do so for different reasons. We’ve heard talk about a “toxic culture” that permeates the game. I don’t agree with that term. I think there are issues and challenges that have to be addressed. If there is a toxic culture, then is it any more prevalent than what we see in other sports. Is hockey any more likely to have an occurrence like what is alleged to have happened in London in 2018? I’m not suggesting that we ignore what has happened, or that we write it off by saying “boys will be boys”. But we can’t act like this is solely a hockey problem. Hockey needs to be more inclusive. The reputation of hockey as a white person’s game needs to be addressed. It’s an incredible game, for my money the great-

est on the planet. Why wouldn’t we want to have as many diﬀerent people playing the game as possible? Hockey should be for everyone, regardless of gender, race, nationality, sexual orientation or any other factor. Canada is a wonderfully diverse nation. Our game should reflect that. And while these are tough times for Hockey Canada, the athletes who play for Canada in international tournaments still deserve our support, starting with those playing in tournaments this summer. The young men who will represent Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championships this month in Edmonton aren’t the ones who are under investigation. There have been calls for changes at the top of Hockey Canada, from the executive leadership team to the board. I’m sure something will happen eventually, but massive changes all at once aren’t going to be beneficial, at least not in the short-term, and likely not in the long-term, either. Scott Smith, who became Hockey Canada’s CEO last month, has taken much of the heat. The coming months will be diﬃcult for Hockey Canada as more information comes to light, but we still have to remember this is a great game and most of the people who play it are quality individuals.

Sean’s birthday party made a lot of noise in Carnduff By Paul Kimball It was a quiet long weekend in Carnduff. Many used the weekend to go elsewhere. One home, though, was a busy place and many people were there. Mitch and Lilibeth Baleta are part of Carnduff ’s Filipino community and they chose to use the long weekend to celebrate the birthday of their son Sean, who had just turned three. Whenever Filipinos celebrate, they hold nothing back. The party was held at the home of Lilibeth’s sister and brother-inlaw, Jen and Giefred. They live on an acreage in town and that was needed, as about 50 people showed up. The celebration kicked off with one of those Filipino feasts and, as always, there was more than enough food to go around.

Then the fun for the kids began. First, it was an Easter egg hunt, something that was originally planned for Easter but pushed back because of unco-operative weather. Then a piñata of sorts was lowered. Rather than breaking something to unload all sorts of goodies, treats and toys were attached to a frame and the kids jumped up and down to grab hold of the things that caught their eye. A large clay flower pot was then lowered. That was smashed, dropping more candy for the kids to scramble for. And as if that wasn’t enough, a swag bag with more treats was given to each child. A bouncy castle and a trampoline were set up for the kids to work oﬀ all that sugar. Meanwhile, adults sat around visiting and

Maryfield Sunrise Villa news Submitted by Betty Walker Well here it is, August already, and I’m not really sure where July went. Things are fairly quiet around here. Several residents are away with family or just staying indoors, away from the heat. We’ve had the usual card Bingo, hymn sings with Mary, and popcorn and a movie. Best wishes to Velma and Grace, who are away receiving more medical care. We welcome John back after his stay away. I had a little outing last week as I attended a graveside funeral for a cousin of mine and shopping in Moosomin, followed by visits with family and great grandchildren. I had a wonderful day but I’m glad to get home to the villa. Massage therapist Marlee, who tones up our bodies, has been sharpening our minds with trivia questions about Canada.

watching the kids enjoy all the activities. As the evening wound down, the birthday cake was cut up and distributed. Lilibeth makes some very unique cakes and Sean’s was no exception. It was a building structure topped with a construction crane. It was delicious. The crane was not edible; it ended up becoming another one of Sean’s birthday gifts.

Eight skiers get up behind pontoon boat

From left, Brandon Weiss, Nathan Weiss, Jon-Michael Dannenberg, Cole Hooper, David Crump, Josie Crump, Jackson Hooper and Anna Crump. Submitted by David Crump It was a week of vacation at White Bear Lake for a number of people and I had purchased an extra ski rope on my way to the lake. I had visions of trying to get seven or eight skiers up this year. Our boat has pulled up five skiers in the past and I knew our neighbour Rick Perry’s boat could easily pull the same or more. I thought we might be able to pull up eight between the two boats.

It turns out that great minds think alike, because I hadn’t even had a chance to talk to Rick about it and one of the kids came and asked me if I wanted to join them, because Rick was oﬀering to try to pull up eight of us on skis. Of course I jumped at the chance. Between the Perrys and the Crumps, we assembled enough skis, ski ropes and capable water skiers and loaded them onto Ricks pontoon boat to see if we could do it. Brian Crump’s boat followed as a pick-up boat in case we lost some

skiers along the way. We started in front of our boathouses on Sandy Beach. On the first attempt we lost two skiers but all eight got up on the second try. We made our way to Hotel Beach, looped back past Sandy Beach and we all dropped oﬀ in front of Crescent Beach. It was quite the accomplishment considering the rough waters we ended up skiing through. What great summer lake memories. Already planning for nine skiers next year.

Margaret Delainey is known as the Sunflower Lady By Stephanie Zoer The Artist Colony of Moose Mountain Provincial Park has welcomed long-time artist Margaret Delainey since 2008. She is the longest-staying permanent resident at the colony. Delainey has always lived in Saskatchewan and was raised on a farm south of Melfort. After having a successful career in teaching, Delainey retired in 2001. She now resides in Regina, but at one time she was the principal at an Estevan school. Delainey began to paint more often after

she retired in 2001. It helped her a great deal with the struggles of fibromyalgia. Painting helped take her mind of the pain associated with the illness. Working with acrylic and water colour, Delainey would paint sunflowers. She painted diﬀerent masterpieces of the flower and soon became known as the sunflower lady. Delainey’s talent does not end with sunflowers. She paints all flowers, landscapes and the ever-changing skies of Saskatchewan. While Delainey is at the colony, she resides at her cabin in White Bear. There she began

Margaret Delainey loves to visit with all who attend the Artist Colony. Photo submitted by Margaret Delainey to paint the beauty of birch trees, saskatoon

bushes and the lush cattails.

Over the years, Delainey has seen extensive changes at the colony. At first, 230 visitors would come through to see the artists’ displays, and now over 3,000 people view the work of all the artists throughout the season. The colony is a heritage place and Delainey watched as the cabins transformed into rustic treasurers for artists to display their work. Delainey’s art is shipped all over the world and she is a member of the Prairie Artist Guild. Although Delainey is proud of her accomplishments, she also

has a great deal of praise for all the artists that come to the colony. She feels there is a freshness every week when new talent graces the rotating cabins. Talent runs in Delainey’s family. Her daughter, Brenda Blackburn is also a talented artist, along with Delainey’s granddaughter Brittany Canham. Canham does detailed beadwork. Delainey enjoys inspiring others and absolutely loves visiting with all the artists and visitors at the colony. “It is such a pleasure to meet all this talent,” said Delainey.

Wawota news - another Ukrainian family has arrived Submitted by Myrna Olson

A special memorial service was held at Greenspace at Kenosee Lake on July 9. This was to honour Marten Wright, who passed away in Edmonton on Oct. 24, 2021, at the age of 55 years. Ray, Dorothy and Kim Peters from Ontario visited with Ross and Donna Petterson recently. Ray was a former pastor of the Wawota Alliance Church.

Two other members of the church, Isobel Robertson of Moosomin and Roy Petterson from Kipling, were also in attendance. On July 27, a memorial service was held in Ceylon for Sally (Hamilton) Martin. Sally passed away on Jan. 25 at the age of 97. Visiting with Harvey and Darla Leader were their grandchildren Hayden and Ali of Fort McLeod, Alta. They are Dustin and Caitlyn Leader’s children and

they spent two weeks in Wawota. Ross and Donna Petterson, Darrell Petterson and Levi all traveled to Cranbrook, B.C. They were joined by Mareen Augustine and Heather Petterson of Cranbrook and Sheila from Drumheller, Alta. They were together to celebrate a great-grandchild’s birthday. Wawota is proud to welcome our second family from the Ukraine. Welcome to Volodymyr

and Liubou Krushelntskyi, and 11-year-old son, Nazar, and two-yearold son Sasha. They are residing in the United Church manse. Dean and Shannon Joanisse and daughters Abbey and Brooklyn spent a week visiting with Shannon’s parents, Ken and Anne Wilson. The Wawota Parkland class of 1987 gathered together July 30 to celebrate their 35th year since graduating. Those

in attendance were Lori (Lamontagne) Reis and her husband Ray from Eston, Darren Palendat from England, Stacey (Olson) Heﬀernan of Regina, Debbie (Brimner) Chalus and her husband Kerry from Carlyle, Calvin Hutchison from Langbank, and local residents Wade and Leanne Porter, Heather (Oliver) Draper, Jeanine (Jacques) Lamontagne, and Al and Lucy Chubak. A church in the park

was planned for last Sunday but as the weather was iﬀy, members from the three churches gathered at the United Church. The theme was welcoming the stranger. The collection was for the Ukraine Fund. Sixteen youngsters attended the kid’s day at the museum. They were to guess boxed artifacts from the museum. After a virtual scavenger hunt, lunch was a variety of muﬃns and juice.

Pet Corner The Halls fell in love on the first ride with horses By Stephanie Zoer Four years ago, Janet Hall and her twin daughters, Neela and Abigail, had never ridden a horse. They were invited to a birthday party at DeeAnna Lyke’s place, which included horseback riding and after their first ride, they were hooked on the animals. Janet approached her husband Lucas about getting horses. Lucas had no issue with this, but only if his twin daughters took riding lessons along with their mom. Her family farm is located by Benson and had lots of room for horses. In fact, they had a horse that came with the farm. It was out with the cows and was treated as one, up until now. DeeAnna Lyke at the time lived west of Stoughton and is an experience rider. She has trained horses and given lessons for many

years. Lessons would begin weekly for the Halls with Lyke as the coach. The 13-year-old twins, Neela and Abigail, were excited, scared and nervous about their first lessons. “These animals are big and strong and a little intimidating,” said Janet. Every Friday night the three new riders would take lessons. They were first taught about horse care, as they knew little about this. Next was horse tack, including the proper fit of a saddle and how to care for all the tack that would be needed with the ownership of a horse. Finally, the lessons began on how to ride. The farm horse was inspected by Lyke, and it turned out that this horse was well trained and in great shape. She was also in her later years, so it was decided that the old farm horse would live out her days in the lush pasture.

“These lessons have taught us so much,” said Janet. “If it wasn’t for Lyke’s knowledge, guidance and pushing us to ride properly, we wouldn’t be where we are today.” A horse was purchased for Janet, Neela and Abigail. Just recently another horse was added to the herd. Astrid will be Neela’s new mount. Last year Janet and her daughters attended their first Saskatchewan Riding Club Association (SCRA) competition. This event was hosted in Moose Jaw, and they participated on behalf of the Stoughton New Hope Horse Club. This event holds western pleasure classes and gymkhanas as well and is a weekend long event. It is based on points and the highest point earner receives a buckle. Abigail was high point earner in her division and received the buckle. Over the four years, they have continued

The Halls have only been riding for four years and love every minute of it. From left, Astrid, Neela Hall, Cyrus, Abigail Hall, Lucy and Janet Hall.

The twins admit they love doing barrels and anything with speed, but so does Janet.

This summer they have attended jackpots and rodeos, and the love for the sport keeps growing. “Each time my girls ride, they get better,” said Hall. It is their intention to attend the MBR in

Manitoba and also to return to the SRCA, which will be held in Saskatoon this year. Lessons will continue throughout the winter with Lyke, and they will also partake in a winter barrel series.

Kaylie Sali is a dog groomer at Just for Paws By Gord Paulley This spring, 23-yearold Kaylie Sali started dog grooming under the experienced tutelage of Just for Paws owner Andrea McEwen. Sali obtained her training in Regina from the Apex Academy, a gruelling 40-hour a week, eight-month dog grooming course. For the past three years, she had worked for The

Doghouse Kennels in White City. Sali loves all animals but especially dogs. She herself owns a one-yearold blue healer named Grit. Sali loves turning a scared and anxious dog into a confident and happy canine, often over the course of only one visit. “Professionally grooming a dog from head to toe is a very satisfying experience,” said

Sali. “Brushing, bathing, trimming and clipping are all part of the process. The one mistake that owners make is not bringing their dogs in often enough and early enough in their lives. They must get acclimatized to the grooming process as soon as possible.” In addition to regular grooming, Sali and Just for Paws have also invested their time

and training into what is known as creative grooming. This is dog grooming which deviates from breed profile grooms, commonly involving artificial colouring. It oﬀers professional pet groomers the unique opportunity to truly individualize and customize their clients’ grooms by adding touches of personal style. This includes hair dying and nail painting. Born and raised in Regina, Sali graduated from Greenall High School in Balgonie. She lives in Manor with her boyfriend Tallyn Rowley, who is employed by Classic Steaming. Sali is a very caring and professional dog groomer who loves working with canines. She can be found at Just for Paws located just west of Carlyle on Highway 13.

Sports Mike Fowler keeps his love for golf in perspective By Paul Kimball Mike Fowler enjoys golf so much that he has two golf memberships. One is in his hometown of Carnduﬀ, the other is near his cottage at Kenosee Lake. Fowler’s interest in the game started when he was about six, mainly because it gave him a chance to hang out with his father and grandfather, who were both avid golfers. Before long, he fell in love with the game and its many challenges. He has golfed at some impressive courses, including one in Hawaii and another at Banﬀ Springs in Alberta. He enjoys golfing with his wife Kim, although that doesn’t happen nearly as much as

he’d like. Fowler says she is a good, patient golfer but the busyness of life prevents her from golfing as much as she or he would like. By his own admission, he is an average player with a 10 handicap. He has experienced the thrill of a hole-in-one while golfing in Carnduﬀ. He was golfing at the Oilmen’s Golf Tournament in 2014 and a prize of $5,000 was up for grabs to anyone getting an ace. Fowler went home that night quite a bit richer but had he been able to save that shot for the following day, he would have walked away with $50,000. As exciting as the moment was, it would have been even better had it come a day later.

Fowler’s interest in golf was instrumental in the organization of the annual Oilmen’s Tournament. It began in 2008 and has been ongoing ever since. Although Fowler’s love of golf remains strong, his time for it has diminished over the past few years. Currently, he gets out once a week on men’s night, golfing with his buddies on a team known as The Nasty Boys. He has yet to use his membership at Kenosee this year. Perhaps you’re wondering why. Well, just as the busyness of life keeps his wife oﬀ the course, Fowler is experiencing that too. He is the director of operations with the Day Group of companies and is the general manager of one of those companies,

Despite being on the job for only a short time, Keens appreciates the veteran staﬀ that have returned. “Golf superintendent Larry Palmer is the best in the business and his mentoring and expertise is greatly appreciated. He and the veteran grounds crew have the course in incredible shape. Jake McLeod and Jace-Lynn Akan are back running the clubhouse and everything is running smoothly.” Keens is a long-time

resident of Moose Jaw and is married with two children. In his eyes, the customer always comes first, and every day Keens looks forward to meeting the clientele. He is residing full-time at White Bear Lake and will continue to work seven days a week until the end of the year. Keens is very excited to be part of the 2022 golfing season. “Please feel free to stop in and visit this wonderful facility. I would be happy to meet you. See you at the Bear.”

Eagle Sky Ventures. He also serves his hometown as a council member. Unlike his dad, he has never been able to pass his passion for the game on to his children Avry, Owen and Adley. That means that he has to hang out with them in places other than the golf course. As a result, his kids’ interests

are increasingly becoming his interests. Avry dances and plays the piano, Owen plays baseball and was a member of the U15 team that won the provincial championship in Carnduﬀ a few weeks ago, and Adley also dances. Fowler is now doing less of the ‘golf thing’ and more of the ‘dad thing’, attending

recitals and games with his wife, supporting and encouraging his children as they pursue their developing interests. Fowler enjoys his job and serving his community. He loves his family. Although he would like to spend more time pursuing his golf, he’s keeping it all in perspective.

Two teams reach gold medal games

By Gord Paulley Chad Keens is the golf operations/general manager for the White Bear Lake Golf Course. For all of his adult life, Keens has been employed in the hospitality industry and managed the Elk Ridge Resort north of Prince Albert for many years. The White Bear Lake Golf Course is one of the premier courses in all of Saskatchewan. The front nine was constructed in 1986 with the back nine built and shaped six years later. Keens says he is honoured to have been selected to manage the course. The restaurant has undergone major renovations this year and is now open Monday to Sunday, seven days a week. While there was poor weather to start the season, the golf course hosted numerous tournaments which were well attended. The course is now in the midst of tourist season and bookings have been solid.

Two teams from southeast Saskatchewan competed in gold medal games at provincial baseball tournaments during the August long weekend. The Carlyle Cardinals, fresh oﬀ their victory in the Saskota Baseball League’s Harbourne Memorial Tournament in Estevan, were at the provincial Senior AA Tier 1 competition in Regina. Carlyle won once at provincials, but still came close to winning the Baseball Sask. banner. The Cardinals opened with a 4-3 victory over the Marysburg Royals in their lone game Friday. On Saturday, they lost 2-0 to the Saskatoon Outlaws and 12-2 to the Regina Trappers. They finished the round robin with a 1-2 record, but made it to the final on a tie-breaker. Facing the Trappers again, this time it was much closer, but the Trappes prevailed 6-5. The Southeast U15 AAA A’s made it to the

final of their Tier 2 tournament in Regina. The A’s opened with a 6-2 victory over the Regina Wolfpack on Friday and an 8-7 victory over the Yorkton Cardinals Saturday. In the win over the Wolfpack, the A’s scored twice in each of the fourth and fifth innings to pull away in what was a 2-2 game. Draven Naviaux had two hits and two runs batted in (RBIs) for the A’s. Tyson Hardy, Daxtyn Brown and Axton Martin teamed up to allow just two runs over the seven-inning game. The Yorkton Cardinals had a 3-0 lead in the first inning and a 7-6 advantage entering the bottom of the seventh, but the A’s Chase Himmelspach hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh for the victory. Himmelspach scored three times in the game. Brown gave up just one hit in 2 2/3 innings of relief to get the win. Their next game was a 16-6 loss to the Regina

White Sox. The A’s scored twice to start the game, but the White Sox would score at least once in each inning, and scored four times in the bottom of the sixth to invoke the mercy rule. Himmelspach homered for the second straight game and had three hits, four RBIs and two runs on the day. The A’s were down 3-1 entering the bottom of the seventh in their final round-robin game against the East Central Dodgers on Sunday, but scored three times to win 4-3 and advance to the Tier 2 final. Hardy’s base hit scored Martin for the winning run. It was the A’s fourth base hit of the inning. Martin had two RBIs in the game. He also went 6 2/3 innings on the mound, and Tristan Brownridge recorded the final out for the A’s. The White Sox defeated the A’s 8-0 in the gold medal game. (No further information was available).

Oxbow swimmers impress at provincials The Oxbow Seawolves summer speed swimming club had an outstanding showing at the recent provincial meet in Weyburn. The Seawolves finished with 319 points, which left them first for the smaller clubs in the province. A club that had fewer than 20 swimmers at provincials is considered to be small. They had 17 members for this year, so coach Corey Purves said it’s impressive they had 14 qualify for provincials. Purves noted that among the female swimmers, they were ranked seventh out of 19 clubs, while the males were 14th. “This is one of our best years yet,” she said. Two members of the club reached the podium for high points in their age group. Jordan Macfarlane finished second overall for 13 and

14 boys, while Kendall Sorestad was second for seven and eight girls. Members of the club worked hard this year, she said, and spent more time training than normal from the moment they entered the pool this season. Swimmers practised Monday to Thursday during the lunch hour, and for an hour in the evenings. “I’ve seen a lot of improvement between all of the kids. They all dropped lots of time, and they got way fewer disqualifications in all of the races,” said Purves. Purves noted interest in the club has been about the same the past few years. They have had a number of swimmers drop out of the club the past couple of years, but they also had some new kids this year. The club held an official meet for the first

Members of the Oxbow Seawolves thrived at the recent provincial championship in Weyburn. Photo courtesy of Corey Purves time in a number of years on July 10. Their current pool opened in 2019 and they couldn’t have a sanctioned meet until this year. They

did have a fun meet last summer. “We learned a lot from it, and from everyone, all of the other clubs,” Purves said. “But it was

nice to have it in our own town and have lots of people around Oxbow come and watch … and see what other people are doing.”

Purves is the only member of the club who is graduating, and she hopes to be involved with the club in some capacity next year.

Also entered was Paul Grimes of Golf Kenosee in senior men’s. He finished tied for 16th with a three-round total of 235 (80-78-77) Kim Walker shot a three-round total of 231

to win senior women’s. She took the lead from the outset of the tournament, shooting a 73 in the first round, and then carding an 80 in the second round and a 78 in the third.

Hallberg wins provincial titles Rick Hallberg, who plays out of Golf Kenosee, captured both the Saskatchewan mid-masters’ tournament, which is for golfers age 40 and up, and the senior men’s provincial title for those 55 and over. It’s the third straight year he has won the senior men’s crown. Hallberg won the titles during provincials at the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Course from July 26-28. Meanwhile, for the second straight year and the third time in the last four years, Kim Walker is the senior women’s provincial champion. Hallberg entered the

final round Thursday trailing in both events. He wound up winning both by one stroke over Brent Wotypka of Swift Current’s Elmwood Golf Club. “I played a lot of patient golf. I didn’t take a lot of chances. Just tried to keep the ball in play and not have any big holes,” said Hallberg. Hallberg finished with a three-round total of 1-over-par 217, thanks to a 72 in the first round, a 73 in the second and a 72 in the third. Wotypka started with a 76, but then fired back-to-back 71s to finish second.

“Today I thought I’d have to probably shoot under par. And then Colin (Coben) started running into a little bit of trouble, which is very unusual, because he’s always so steady. I felt bad for him. We were riding together in the cart. It would have been nice if he would have had his normal game.” Rick Hillstad of Moose

Jaw’s Riverside Golf Club was third in the senior men’s event with a 220 (74-74-72). Hillstad also finished first in the super senior event for those 65 and up, one stroke better than Coben of Delisle. Two golfers were tied for third in the mid-masters with scores of 221: Carnduﬀ ’s Kris Carley (7476-71) and Meadow Lake’s Chris Reid (68-76-77).

April Breault is a dedicated barrel racer By Stephanie Zoer April Breault was raised in Estevan, but always had a love for horses. One could say it was in her blood. Her father Willie Wilbraham rode horses for his father Tom Wilbraham, and he owned a farm with horses. Breault began riding lessons at the age of five. Debbie Barker, a well-known equestrian in the Estevan area, would teach young Breault how to ride. At age nine, the hunt was on for Breault’s first horse. This horse would need to be well broke and trained in several disciplines, as Breault wanted to ride in them all. Wrangle became Breault’s first equine mount. Wrangle was a wellseasoned horse in barrels, roping and poles, but he could also do the other disciplines that Breault wanted to do. As Breault moved forward in her riding skills, so did her desire to barrel race. This is when her aunt Betty Ameel and Elaine Hyde came into the picture.

They are both competitive barrel racers. Hyde is a high-level barrel champion. The lessons began once again. Breault also helped in Alida with the horse camps, rodeo school and demonstrations with the kids that attended. Wrangler and Breault became a competitive team, winning buckles, a saddle and horse blankets. Wrangler was even voted Horse of the Year by Breault’s peers. They also qualified for the National High School Rodeo. Breault went oﬀ to school in Vermilion, Alta., for western ranch-cow horse, horse training and cow management. During this time, she continued to ride and compete. Now married to Nevin Breault and having a three-year-old son Wayne, Wrangle will become Wayne’s mount as Wrangle is retired from barrel racing. Not all horses are born to run barrels. Breault looks at bloodlines, and although this does not guarantee a fast horse, bloodlines help. Next, she looks at

April Breault and her horse Bubba competed in the barrel races at the Lakeshore Stampede in Elbow. Photo by Safe Haven Photography confirmation and her new horse Bubba had excellent confirmation. Bubba would become Breault’s next barrel

horse. He is five years old and has worked the barrel pattern for over a year. Breault does not start them until they

are four. This gives the horse a chance to mature, and bones an opportunity to get stronger.

Breault hauls Bubba to jackpots and rodeos to get him used to the diﬀerent sounds and new areas. “He takes everything so well,” said Breault. “Jim and Elaine Hyde, Canpressco and Laura Elash from Equine Choice Products have sponsored me, and I’m very thankful,” said Breault. Breault feels it is important to promote the sport of barrel racing, but also to help others and treat everyone equally. Bubba and Breault continue to create a great bond. “I love to barrel race because of the teamwork and close bond between horse and rider,” said Breault. During the winter months, Breault rides as well to keep them both in shape, while attending a few barrel events. “I’m just trying to better myself each day,” said Breault. She enjoys starting the day by going out and feeding her herd of horses. She wants them to feel and perform at their best.

Stoughton receives grants for green space By Stephanie Zoer The Town of Stoughton received two government grants to build a new green space in town. Shirley Coderre, a longtime resident of Stoughton and a town council member, brought the idea of a green space to a council meeting. Upon approval from council, Coderre moved forward with her plans. The two lots that once housed the old credit union and museum had already been demolished, and since the lots were owned by the town, it was the perfect location. Coderre began drawing the plans for the green space and calculating the

cost to do the build. Proof was also needed to make sure the town met the criteria. Coderre also received letters of support which were written by a few locals. Jade Larose from the Stoughton Town Oﬃce helped with the paperwork and submitted all required material for the grants. The first grant of $35,000 came from the Canadian Healthy Communities Initiative. This program had an overwhelming response and many local communities applied. The second grant came from the Canada Community Revitalization fund. Stoughton was

granted $53,860. This government program will run for two years and oﬀers $500 million in national infrastructure support for non-profit organizations. These grants were put in place to build places for people to gather outdoors, to help create jobs and stimulate the economy. Coderre’s green space plans would be budgeted to only use grant money. Stoughton’s green space is located on Main Street, beside the Crossroads Inn, across the street from the Stoughton Meat Market. Coderre feels it is the perfect place for people to sit and have lunch, as there are eateries close by.

The three gazebos are strategically placed in the new green space located on Main Street in Stoughton. Photo by Stephanie Zoer Chamney Construction from Estevan was awarded the general contract, with some aspects being contracted out, such as the electrical to All Tech Electric from Weyburn.

With the three gazebos built, a bright red privacy fence and the gravel pathways in place, there is little left to do. The picnic tables should arrive in a week and then

the sod can be laid. Shrubs have been planted around the perimeter as well. It is hoped the project will be completed in mid-August for all to enjoy.

Report from the Saskatchewan Legislature Submitted by Daryl Harrison Saskatchewan’s economy is moving forward with significant strength, and our government is working hard to promote the local business climate and investment opportunities. Figures released in recent weeks show our province leading in several key economic indicators once again. The value of wholesale trade increased by 44 per cent between May 2021 and May 2022, leading all provinces in growth. To provide some context, Alberta saw the second highest increase at 20.6 per cent. Saskatchewan has

the resources and products the world wants and needs. That positive business climate has translated into some solid employment figures. The Statistics Canada June report shows that Saskatchewan now has more people working than ever. Data shows that 22,300 jobs were added to the province over the last year, resulting in a record high of 592,900 jobs. Unemployment fell to 3.9 per cent, the second lowest among the provinces and the lowest since November 2014. More jobs will soon be coming to our province after a significant announcement from BHP. The international com-

pany has announced their Jansen potash mine will be ready for production in 2026 rather than 2027. The project is expected to need 600 miners; and Brandt Industries also announced this month they will be looking to hire 200 employees for their new manufacturing facility in the City of Moose Jaw. Another economic performance indicator is in the latest housing starts report. Once again, Saskatchewan is one of the top performing provinces, with an 87 per cent increase in urban housing starts between June 2021 and June 2022. This was the second highest yearover-year growth in Canada.

Our continued economic success and opportunity for future sustainable growth have caught the attention of two more major credit rating organizations. Moody’s Investor Services has maintained Saskatchewan’s Aa1 credit rating, reflecting a strong financial picture. DBRS Morningstar also confirmed their AA credit rating for the province. In their report they stated, “the elected government has long demonstrated commitment to a progrowth agenda, a low and competitive tax regime, balanced budget and low debt.” This is a continuation of S&P Global Ratings who aﬃrmed Saskatchewan’s

Eleanor Harrison and her granddaughter Sara attended the annual Austin Thresherman’s Reunion at Austin, Man., during the last week in July. Faye Walker spent a couple of days last week in Saskatoon, visiting with her family and attending her dental ap-

billion for the first time in provincial history. In addition to measures like reduced child care costs, the second lowest utility bundle in Canada and maintaining one of the highest tax-free thresholds in the country, we continue to look for ways to make life more aﬀordable here in Saskatchewan. As the fiscal year continues, we will review the financial picture in the coming months and make necessary adjustments to support Saskatchewan residents. If you have any questions, comments or need assistance with government programming, please contact your local MLA oﬃce.

Observer Photo Contest is back starting July 1 for 9 weeks!

Alida news By Edel Cowan

AA credit rating and stable outlook in June of this year. The credit reports are another endorsement of Saskatchewan’s sound fiscal policy and direction. Our government recognizes that inflation and the cost of living are top of mind for Saskatchewan families. Recently, we announced school divisions would receive a one-time investment of $20 million to assist with rising fuel and insurance costs for the 2022-23 school year. This boost will allow divisions to address inflationary costs rather than diverting resources from the classroom. With this additional investment, school operating funding will exceed $2

pointments from July 26-28. The Nickle family also came down to spend the long weekend at the Walker cottage at Kenosee. Shelly Cowan left on July 27 for Minot where she met her daughters Lacie and Kelsey. They all accompanied the Nilsen family to attend her niece ShiAnne’s wedding in Idaho on July 30.

Tim Cowan and daughter Ainsley travelled to Minot on July 28 to attend the Minot Fair. They returned home July 29. Congratulations to LaurieAnn and Todd Bendtsen of Weyburn who were the 50/50 winners of the STARS Lottery Draw on July 28. Todd was raised in the Alida area. Congratulations and
