By Gord Paulley Huge crowds attended last Saturday’s Carlyle Fun Dayz and the event lived up to its name. Spectators young and old enjoyed varied and exciting festivities. The day began with a pancake breakfast hosted by the Carlyle District Lions Club. Many participated in the morning parade with floats entered by many businesses and volunteer organizations. Large crowds gathered to watch the parade, and with two blocks of Main Street blocked off all day long, people had to park and walk to the event. Children were thoroughly entertained in the Kids’ Zone. Activities included bouncy castles, a rock-climbing wall and two performances by the Saskatchewan Reptile Show. A 12-foot-tall dinosaur wowed the crowd. Magician Chester McBain also entertained the kids with two shows thatYoungstersafternoon.Sedric and Sully Moore had a blast at the Kid Zone. They loved the bouncy castles, the magic show, the slushies and the ice cream. They helped their mom Jade sell 50/50 tickets. “We danced our butts off,” said Sedric. The Carlyle Onechurch Campus supplied the bouncy castles and Pastor Matt Redstone presided over that activity. “We were so glad to be part of Fun Dayz and the bouncy castles were busy all day long. Thanks for the invitation and thanks for our volunteers who braved the heat to entertain the kids.” The Kenosee Lake Bible Camp operated the rock-climbing wall. “It was non-stop,” said ministry director Clay Wiens. “Once the first child went up, we were immediately swamped with so much interest and enthusiasm. But it was all worth it to see them laugh, smile and have a good time.”

Graham Carter is the owner of Monster Enterprise.“Just doing my part supporting the local communities so that they can put on these great events for the families. Also, a big thank you to my employees for their work on getting our trucks ready for the parade and manning our booth,” said Carter. Carlyle’s own Morgan Robertson started the live entertainment promptly at noon. She was followed by Brody Siebert, Dangerous Cheese and Vinyl Society. The rock and roll band Switch from Weyburn concluded the festival at midnight. Big crowds enjoyed the music all day long. Local resident Marylin Carter loved the music. “Carlyle Fun Dayz was exceptional this year,” she said. “The bands were fun, energetic and played great music. Seeing our very own Morgan Robertson with her band opening the musical entertainment did not disappoint. Looking forward to hearing more from her and I wish Morgan and her band much success in the future.”

Kenosee Lake hosts annual Artist Retreat
September 8 - International Literacy Day
A trade show took place in the Carlyle Memorial Hall with many vendors selling their wares. That afternoon, there was a high tea at the Rusty Relics Museum. The beer gardens were busy from noon until closing. Hotels in Carlyle were filled as was the campground at Lions Park. Many businesses experienced heavy traffic and enjoyed strong sales. Brad Cooper spoke on behalf of the entire committee.“Thisyear’s Fun Dayz was a smashing success. We were thrilled to put on the largest street festival Carlyle has ever experienced. Thank you to our organizing committee, volunteers, sponsors, peopleorganizationscommunityandtheofCarlylethat made this year’s event the best ever. “It takes a great team to put on an event of this calibre and we are very proud of the result.

By Stephanie Zoer Kenosee Lake’s sixth annual artist retreat started Aug. 25 and will continue until Aug. 31. The event is happening at the boys’ and girls’ camp at Kenosee Lake and at the Mother TeresaApproximatelyCentre. 20 artists will attend from Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta. Many are returning artists from previous years, but new artists are more than welcome to join in on the event. Artists Jacqui Beckett, Holly Dauvin and Jerri Laird are all part of the planning committee.The retreat was started to inspire other artists by working side by side. It gives them a chance to learn new skills and techniques from each other. It is also a way for the artists to enjoy time together in a relaxing atmosphere. The artists also get to learn about new mediums that others may use.Although classes are not offered at this time during the retreat, there usually is an artist or two that will volunteer time to do a demonstration on the tricks to painting a masterpiece. Each artist brings their knowledge and skill set. They all bring their own supplies and work on their own pieces while at the retreat. It is not unusual for a couple of artists to collaborate on a piece. While at the retreat, they might stay at the Mother Teresa Camp or campout on their own. Meals are also a teamwork effort. One or two participants will cook one meal for the wholeDuringcrew.the week, all participants will work on one large special piece, while continuing to work on their own as well.On the last day of the retreat, a show, and sale is held at the Kenosee Lake Recreational Hall. At this time visitors will have the opportunity to view all the art and even purchase a piece. The special art piece that everyone worked on will also be auctioned off that evening. All proceeds from this piece are donated to a charity of the artists’ choice. If you are interested and would like to be a part of this retreat, you may contact any of the planning committee members.

“When I decided to go to Poland on the fifth day of the war, I was sure that everything would be settled in a week. That there could be a war in the 21st century in the centre of Europe. Now I am not surprised at anything. If tomorrow they tell us that aliens have flown to us, then I will say, ‘I don’t see anything strange.’ Nothing surprises me anymore. “When I went to Poland with my children, I did not take the dog with me, because it’s only for a week, I thought. A month later, I found volunteers from Ukraine who helped me get my dog out. I often cry watching the news, I get angry at countries that are tolerant of Russia. Yes, I don’t understand anything about politics. That is why I am crying from powerlessness.”Yuliiacontinued her story.

By Gord Paulley In early August, the Town of Carlyle welcomed its first new Ukrainian family. With the outbreak of Russia’s war on Ukraine, the Boiko family had fled to neighbouring Poland. In July, they came to Canada on a flight destined for Regina. At the subsequent job fair held at the University of Regina, the Pig Improvement Company (PIC) offered them employment at their Carlyle Atlas location. Serhii and Yuliia Boiko have three children. Their eldest son Ilya will turn 15 on Aug. 28. Son Kirill is 10 and daughter Viesna is 15 months old. Translated from her home language, Viesna means spring.They have a dog, Martin, who is a threeyear-old purebred golden Lab and he was able to join them later in theirJudyjourney.Valentine is the manager of the Carlyle Housing Authority. A housing residence became available, and the family was able to immediately move into a rental property on Mountain Drive. The Boikos lived in the city of Krivoy Rog, located in central Ukraine. It is the seventh largest city in the country and has a population of 650,000. Krivoy Rog was built beside massive iron ore deposits and the city is 126 kilometres long, paralleling those deposits. It is the hometown of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Both Serhii and Yuliia were employed in the mining industry. Serhii worked with refractory material in metallurgical units such as open-hearth and blast furnaces, air heaters, trenches and pipelines. For more than 10 years, he was employed by ArcelorMittal, the largest private company in Ukraine.Yuliia was an engineer in an iron ore mine. The depth of the mine was over 1,500 metres. She designed workings in the mine and calculated the number of explosives needed to break up the iron ore mass. Both jobs provided them with a high standard of living. The war with Russia began in late February and Krivoy Rog began to receive air missile attacks. ArcelorMittal closed their mines and halted all production in March. Yuliia and the children fled to Poland. Yuliia became very emotional talking about their move to Canada.
“Because Krivoy Rog is so big, we always wanted to get away, at least on weekends, to somewhere in a quiet place. Arriving in Canada, this desire became stronger. I was scared to live in a foreign city, in a foreign country, not knowing the people and not knowing what to expect from people. In Carlyle. I am calm, I am not afraid for the children.”“Of course, I will miss my past life,” she added. “We had to leave everything and learn to live again. In our family, I have the hardest time adapting to a new life. But everyone supports me.”After all medical, immigration and work visa requirements are met, the Boikos should commence employment at the Atlas PIC Facility in early September. They have purchased a vehicle and are more than willing to give their new lives a try. School will begin in September with translators being provided by the South East Cornerstone Public SchoolWhenDivision.Yuliia was asked about meeting the people of Carlyle and being offered any sort of assistance, she said: “It seems to me that sometimes our family looks from the outside as not being friendly. It happens in moments of despair, when we all feel dumb when we can’t say a few words in response. Then, we all want to hide.“One day we will learn the language, I hope. Any help, financial, material and moral, is priceless for us. We are very grateful for everything.”
We know the human body can do pretty remarkable things, but I learned a couple of new ones —at least they were new to Whenme.we breathe we favour one nostril over the other. It’s true. We don’t realize we are doing it, but our bodies give one nostril a break while the other is active. Then there’s the fact that we are taller in the morning. Also, our stomachs are flatter so clothes tend to hang better. But our taller, leaner supermodel selves are short lived because gravity does its thing as our cartilage compresses, making us slightly shorter and causing our organs to settle. And then, not surprisingly, the eye is the fastest muscle in the body, because the orbicularis oculi is capable of contracting in less than 1/100th of a second. When we describe something as happening in the blink of an eye, it’s no joke. Not unrelated, we blink more when we talk and less when we read so that’s why we get more tired when we Alrightread.everyone, take a moment and blink, so you can keep reading. When our bodies operate as intended, much of what it does goes unnoticed. But when something goes wrong, even something small, it can have a pretty large impact.Atthe end of July, a teeny tiny part of my body turned on me. A molar. Now a full adult set of teeth makes up a mere 0.06 per cent of the body, so extrapolate one tooth out of the overall composition and it is a small part indeed. But when there’s a problem with even that little part, it can have quite the impact on the body as a whole. For me those effects included being unable to sleep or eat so I was very grateful for the care I received from my dentist and pharmacist. But in the first days of dealing with an abscess, I was struck by how much my entire being was affected by such a small piece of me. I couldn’t ignore it. It had to be dealt with. Yet there are so many issues — affecting smaller parts of our world — that we seem to conveniently ignore, despite the pain that is being itgertionperproblem.comingwithgrowingtion,ofmakesSouthexperienced.Sudan,whichup0.14percenttheworld’spopula-continuestofaceaeconomiccrisisfoodinsecuritybe-anevengreaterCurrently60centofthepopula-facesextremehun-andinsomeregionsisbeingclassi
fied as catastrophic.Thenthere’s Afghanistan that sits at one-half of one per cent of the world’s population. It is estimated it is very close to seeing near universal poverty with 97 per cent of Afghans living below the international poverty line of $1.90 a day. A steep rise in food prices has meant 90 per cent of that tiny income is being used to buy food. Many are going hungry. Look at what’s happening in Somalia. Making up just 0.2 per cent of the population on the planet, it ranked as the hungriest country in the world in 2021. There is an 11.7 per cent child mortality rate, while 32 per cent of the country’s children are stunted in growth due to lack of basic nutrition. Things have only gotten worse in For2022.the first time in many years, Yemen is not in the top 10 places of countries in crisis. Did things get better there? Not even close. They slipped out of the top 10 because other countries became so much worse. Let that sink in for a moment. When a part of our body gives us trouble, it is best we pay attention and take care of it otherwise it will likely get worse and impact more and more areas of our life. Well, parts of the world are areofareourince.country.Sooverwhelmingexperiencingtrouble.aremanypartsofourAndourprov-Andrightwithincommunity.Hungerandpovertyimpactingthelivessomanypeoplewho finding themselves in circumstances beyond their making. The issues creating the pain are complex. The obstacles loom. The problems truly are big. But it can’t mean the people su ffering can be overlooked. That makes it worse. There are people in our towns needing food. There are millions across the planet needing food. No, we can’t feed them all. But perhaps we each can help feed one family here at home, and another one around the world. Choose an organization or agency. They are countless in number. One small tooth is enough to do something about. Let’s be sure one hungry person compels us to big action. That’s my outlook.
Many of the problems — especially in health care — are not going to be solved with a $500-million cash injection because the needed doctors and nurses are not available at this moment at any costs. Yes, there’s reason to suspect handing out cheques is vote-buying — especially given the likelihood of Moe announcing the Saskatoon Meewasin byelection within weeks. The government is also still feeling pressure from theButright.had Harpauer, Moe and cabinet decided not to put anything back in the pockets of consumers, there would have clearly been outrage over the government using windfalls to bail themselves out from their own economic mismanagement.TheSask.Party can no longer plead poverty. It can no longer claim the federal government is robbing us of prosperity when it has money to toss around. A windfall is a good thing, but it is a two-edged sword.

Our economic and budgetary situation is much better than anyone — including the Saskatchewan Party government — could have imagined. Just six months ago, the government found it necessary to tack the provincial sales tax on to sporting events and concert tickets and even gym memberships. How much have things changed?
The one-time payout costing provincial coffers about $450 million has drawn simultaneous criticism for being too much, too little and not going to where should be Somegoing.were quick to criticize that the 2022-23 budget’s now billion-dollar surplus should have been spent on less politically attractive options like paying down the province’s mounting debt. Others argued if a government was simply going to throw around our revenue dollars to buy votes at time when the government popularity surely must be slipping a bit, doing it this way isn’t the best way to benefit families with kids. With shortfalls in educating funding causing some school divisions to charge parents for noon supervision, some families will see this money go in one pocket and out the other. Still others argued that any found money should go towards dealing with the closure of rural hospital emergency rooms, x-ray and lab tech services. Also there is arguably even a greater need to address the surgical wait lists that tend to flow from similar doctor and nursing shortages in urban hospitals. Finally, with the pandemic and ensuring inflation especially hammering the poor and those already struggling, there is the case to be made for more of this money directed to social services concerns and addictions treatment that have been in the news of late for inadequate supports.Tosay that the government choice here is both imperfect and somewhat politically motivated is likely an understatement.Butlet’sput things in a more realistic political context.

Premier Scott Moe couldn’t wait for Finance Minister Donna Harpauer’s 2022-23 first-quarter budget presentation to announce his government would be handing out $500 cheques to every adult 18 years and older in Saskatchewan that had the wherewithal to have filed income tax.Sure, we can afford it. The only question is whether this is how we should have been spending our money. The update showed a whopping $1.86-billion increase in natural resource revenue than what was anticipated in March.Sodramatic was this this turnaround that the government announced it would be handing out those $500 cheques and cancel the scheduled Oct. 1 implementation of the provincial sales tax that the budget expanded to gym memberships. (The tax applied to Roughrider games and concert tickets will remain.)

On Aug. 19, they travelled to Regina where they met up with grandma Walker. The boys will spend time with the Walker grandparents at Colonsay, while Michael returned to Alida and will continue to help with odd jobs around the farm for a while. Sincere sympathy is extended to all relatives of Dempsey and Marion Laird of Weyburn. Dempsey passed away Aug. 17 at the age of 89 years and Marion had passed away Aug. 14 at the age of 82 years. They will be missed. Memorial service was held Aug. 23 at Weyburn Grace United Church and a graveside service took place Aug. 24 at Carnduff Cemetery. The harvesting in our area has now officially started, not just with peas but other crops are now ready or almost ready for the combine crew to move into them.
Farmers are encouraged to use the following steps to prevent accidental power line contacts:

Of course the sprayer is the first to go and it moved into one of our fields, so before too long our harvest will be underway.Goodluck to the farmers with their harvesting and now may the rains stay away until all is completed. Do be vigilant and take extreme care while operating those big machines. Remember to take a break away from the machine if it’s only to stretch your legs and get a breath of fresh dusty air.

With harvest underway in the province, SaskPower is reminding farmers, hired hands and anyone operating machinery to Look Up and Live this “SaskPowerfall. understands that harvest is an extremely busy time of year, and producers are putting in long hours,” said Nidal Dabghi, director of safety at SaskPower. “Every line contact is dangerous and preventable, and by taking a few precautions, everyone can have a safe and productive harvest.”
In the event of a line contact, the operator should remain in their vehicle and call the SaskPower Outage Centre at 310-2220. In an emergency, call 911. Should the line contact start a fire, the operator should exit their vehicle using the proper safe exit procedure, move to a safe distance and call 911. As of Aug. 7, SaskPower has recorded 186 incidents involving farm machinery this year, which is the same number recorded up to the same date last year.

Grass dancers blessed the ground before the grand entry. Rations were provided to every camp and there was an old-style singing contest. The morning prayers, traditional teachings and stories from the past by the powwow announcers were soothing to the soul.“Tanya and I were honoured to watch our son Tyman perform the chicken dance style. As well, it was our granddaughter Isabella’s first intertribal powwow. We also enjoyed dancing in the konamni sweetheart’s dance to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you, White Bear powwow committee, chief, council and community, you all did an amazing job this year.” In the foreground of the Friday night grand entry, drummers beat out songs.

Red Roof Realty focuses on technology and uses it to enhance the client experience
What is a Matterport VirtualHaveTour?youever taken a virtual tour of a museum or hotel online? This is the same technology you can view The Louvre or Tombs in Egypt from the comfort of your home on your phone or tablet or with a set of 3D goggles. We at Red Roof Realty Inc. have been bringing this technology to our real estate listings for the past four years. With Matterport you can view the property by touchscreen or clicking on small circles that navigate you through the home. At any point you can also scroll 360 degrees and from ceiling to floor inside the property. You can also see a 360-degree dollhouse version of the property that has removed the exterior walls from the house and you can also see a 3D version of the main floor, basement and second floor, all at one time or each floor at a time.There are also floor plan views and you can compare the room sizes and their layout. Recently added is the measurement tool that is 99% accurate. You can measure room sizes, countertops or measure your existing furniture to see how it will fit in theMatterportspace. is now giving options to virtually stage vacant property listings. We even have the option to order schematic floor plans which are great for either planning a renovation or drawing up engineered building plans. I chose the Matterport Camera System as I was looking to upgrade my current camera. I started researching this newer technology and purchased this system back in 2018 when only a few brokerages were using this technology in Saskatchewan.Sinceusing this system on our listings, we save time and costs for our clients by allowing them the convenience of viewing properties from the comfort of their own homes.Thistechnology keeps improving. This investment has been extremely helpful during COVID-19 lockdowns and restricted guidelines that Realtors followed for showing properties. Over the last six months, we have seen an uptake of buyers purchasing properties in our area from out of province. Three-dimensional virtual listings are a big tool that help a prospective buyer to see the property in great detail before deciding to make the trip to view in person.How does our camera work? We put a lot of time and effort in helping our clients prepare their property to be scanned by our camera. We want your home to showcase its best features. It generally takes anywhere from two to four hours to scan a property which is time well spent considering the finished product. Over the years, we have learned tricks of the trade as every property is unique. Our camera takes a 360-degree image approximately every three to four feet of your home and we generally take over 100 scans per property. Once we have recorded our scans, we upload this information directly to Matterport where they have a large computer system that processes the scans which returns to us a Matterport Space. From this, we then edit the scan, take our pictures for your listing and create a URL link to used on your listing and social media. Realtor.ca is formatted to highlight a 3D tour over 2D pictures on a listing. We can add Matterport tags to the scan which are links that allow us to add a narrative about the property or link you to another website.Wedo not charge extra for this service and it is included in our listing fee. We also provide this service for other real estate brokerages to offer to their clients. We can scan your business, retail space, local museum, or showcase hotel rooms, Airbnb, and rental spaces. We have just purchased a secondary Matterport camera system for when we need to edit an existing Space or take a quick scan. If you have any questions on our services, please contact Leanne Sorenson for the Carlyle area at (306)-577-1213 or Carmen Farnden at (306)-485-7555 for the Oxbow area.

By Ana Bykhovskaia Shelley Boyes founded Choose Life Ministry after going through a personal tragedy in 2006 when her oldest daughter was killed in a rollover accident. Boyes was a guest speaker at an event at Trinity Lutheran Church in Estevan on Aug. 13, where she shared the story of the organization and also had a graduate named Jordyn tell guests about her journey. Back in the 2000s, after the loss of their sister, Boyes’ younger daughters started seeking ways to mute the pain and started medicating with drugs and“Theyalcohol.were 16 and 13 at the time. And as a mom, my biggest fear was that I was going to lose one or both of them as well. And so I had to be strong for them. But at the same time, I was grieving terribly,” Boyes shared. It was a difficult page of their lives, but Boyes found a way out not only for herself but also for many others.
“I wondered what it would be like to try to help young women who were struggling with drugs and alcohol and self-harm and depression and other things that were taking their lives off track,” Boyes shared. She was trying to find programs to help her younger daughters get their lives back, but at that time, there hardly were any organizations of this kind in North America and across the world. So Boyes put all her determination, creativity and ambitions in to build Choose Life – a safe place for women to come find hope, healing and freedom. She started working on the project in 2012 and since then the organization, located by Gainsborough, has been helping women from all across the country, allowing for a second chance in their lives.

Choose Life Ministry offers a six-month residential program, in which women come and live at the facility by alongsideGainsboroughsta ff, present at the location 24/7. “It is a very much Session.gramgram,Christ-centeredfaith-based,pro-a12-steppro-calledFreedomAndweo ffer a holistic approach to healing. We have fitness and nutrition and counselling and life skills training. And yeah, it’s a wonderful program,” Boyes shared.Following the story of Choose Life Ministry, one of the graduates named Jordyn shared her life journey. “I went to Choose Life Ministry in 2019,” recalled Jordyn. “I came from a loveless home I guess you can say. Growing up my parents threw money and everything. There wasn’t a lot of connection there. My sister was two years older than me and struggled with addiction very severely since she was 12 years old. Obviously, there were problems before that with her. “So, drugs were familiar to me. They didn’t scare me. They were almost normal because they were always in my home. So, when life started to throw trials my way, I did what I knew how to do, which was cope with drugs. And the group of people I was drawn to were the underdogs of society, I guess you can call them. And I’ve always had a heart for them,” Jordyn said and paused, as tears were in her eyes. “I was sexually abused. I lost two children. Addiction just comes with its own set of traumas. So I lost a lot in my life. And I can see that I’ve lived in darkness. I lived in darkness for a long time,” Jordyn recalled. When she came to Choose Life, Boyes promised to fight for her, and she did. “Fast forward, it’s 2022. I graduated from the program. And Shelley continues to fight for me. The program itself is amazing … I graduated in 2019. I think that’s when the real work started, you’re back into the world, you have a new outlook on life and a new skill set, but the same stu ff is still out in the world. Just because you went through Choose Life it didn’t go away. But [the program] really gave me the foundation to … navigate things in a whole different way,” Jordyn said. The program, which she believes is way broader than just the official six months, helped her get back on track. Prior to the program, she received an education to become an addictions counsellor, and now she is working as one. And Choose Life and the people working there, including Boyes, remain a big part of her life.Boyes also shared the story of an old stone homestead, built by her grandparents in 1901. It was doomed to be demolished, but instead, Choose Life Ministry’s board voted to have it restored and it became a home for many patrons for years to come. Resonating with it, on the day of the presentation, Trinity Lutheran Church asked guests to bring their unique upcycled items for the display in the lobby, to share stories of how something old may have a new life with a hint of creativity.The presentation was followed by lunch and a craft at the church.To find more about Choose Life Ministry go to lifeministry.ca.www.choose-
Weyburn:
“If you have had a similar experience with grief, I’m sure that you can identify with all of those emotions and those feelings. But … it does get better over time and with God’s help, you can heal from something as devastating as that. And God may even have a plan for you and for your life,” Boyes said. It took a long time to heal, but five years after the tragedy, Boyes felt strong enough to try to help young women who may have felt that they hit the dead end to return to life.

SEPTEMBER20TH
By Gord Paulley Employees of the Arcola Health Centre (AHC) were treated to a staff appreciation lunch Aug. 17 organized by a group of local volunteers focused on retaining full healthcare services in Arcola. The group decided to recognize and salute the hard-working employees of AHC to begin raising awareness for the need to recruit and retain health-care workers in theLocalarea. volunteers who organized the event included former AHC registered nurse Carol Brown, who retired in 2017 after nearly 40 years in Arcola; her daughter Kelly Brown, who has been an RN in Arcola since 2011; Joanne Hollingshead, who enjoyed a long career at the hospital from 1974-2014; and Sheila Sim, who is a local resident that has been a part of the efforts for recruitment and retention in Arcola since 2006. In the past, the area recruitment and retention committee was actively involved in supporting the Arcola Health Centre and its staff but the need for support had disappeared after years with more consistent staffing. Recently, with more frequent hospital closures, the renewed need for involvement and support on a local level has spurred volunteers to reform the committee. While Arcola and Carlyle have been fortunate in their recruitment of physicians to the area, nursing vacancies have not been filled with the same level of success. Burnout and a need for a better work life balance has many nurses across the province looking for a change.

“We know our hospital staff are doing whatever they can to keep AHC open and care for our community. Being that they, along with their families, live here, we know they feel pressure to keep the doors open and guilt when there is a closure. The group wanted to show our appreciation and support.” said Sheila“WeSim.would also like to encourage area residents to consider joining the recruitment and retainment committee by contacting one of us. We need our hospital and should do everything in our power to keep it viable and open.”

You never know who or what might pull into your local campground. On Aug. 16, Norbert Heinzeroth and Heidi Stahlschmidt arrived at Bow Valley Park in Oxbow in their 1998 Mercedes light four-wheel drive Belgian army truck, which had been converted into a camper.The couple, nicknamed the Stahlroths, from tripmakingGermany,Kleinwallstadt,havebeenacross-Canadawhichwillendin
Vancouver next spring (with a detour to a few states and a two-month return to Germany). They plan to add the rest of North America, including Alaska, and South America to their itinerary. It is scheduled to finish in Argentina five years from now. Their camper arrived by ship in Halifax and they met it on May 10. They’ve owned the camper since 2016 and it has been home since 2018. They have used it to tour central Asia and Africa and now the Americas.

They spent Canada Day in Newfoundland’s J.T. Cheeseman Provincial Park. This German couple won lawn chairs and a hat that were made in China, and were invited to cut Canada’s birthday cake. It was quite the international event. The Stahlroth’s used to plan holidays around adventures like skiing and skydiving. In 2008, they drove for three weeks through Namibia, Africa and that’s when the bug for driving adventures hit. That led to that driveable dream home that they nowTheyhave.love seeing and touching the world and meeting the people who live in it. Their stops on their trips are not preplanned. They’re often determined the night before. They know what the end of the adventure will be; they just don’t know the route. While in Oxbow, they decided that their next destination would be Grassland National Park and its Valley of 1,000 Devils. How long it would take to get there…well, that they didn’t know. It’s a lifestyle they thoroughly enjoy. They already have plans to travel through Saudi Arabia and the Sudan, but that’s at least five years down the road. In the meantime, they’ll keep surprising campers by showing up at their campgrounds and meeting more people in this part of the world.

“The positive benefits of projects this size are numerous and far-reaching. Industries such as retail, hospitality and the trades will get a boost, and job opportunities for local designers, costumers, performers and writers will strengthen Saskatchewan’s creative sector.”Changes made to Creative Saskatchewan’s Feature Film and TV Production Program, including additional funding in the 2022-23 provincial budget and legislative updates, will raise the profile of Saskatchewan’s film and television production industry. The total funds available for the grant increased from $2 million to $10 million this year, helping to draw more and larger projects to the province like the one announced. This project is receiving more than $8 million, which surpasses the current funding threshold of $5 million, but is allowed if it means securing a project with significant impact to the local economy.“We’re thrilled to be able to support productions like these that cast a wide net in terms of positive economic-ripple effects to our province,” said Creative Saskatchewan CEO Erin Dean. “With an estimated spend of over $20 million on local labour, goods, and services, this boost of activity in our film and television sector puts us on the map and strengthens our industry for future opportunities.”

By Paul Kimball Betty Henger has spent most of her life in school. She entered the world in Oxbow, the second of four children. Her childhood years were lived on a farm north of Glen Ewen. That largely shaped her life. She learned responsibility, independence, the value of hard work and acquired a life-long love for animals. After graduating from Glen Ewen’s school, she headed off to Teachers’ College in Regina for a year and then the University of Regina. At 19, she began teaching in Carnduff. Her first class, Grade 5, consisted of 24 boys and one girl. When summer came, she took more bachelor of education courses. After several summers, she received her degree from the universities of Regina and FollowingCalgary.her first year in Carnduff, she taught in Glen Ewen for two years, but aspired to further educate herself. She took a year off, returning to Regina to get her bachelor of arts. Then it was back to Carnduff, where she taught high school science and math. She also coached golf, basketball and volleyball and helped out with the drama program. She still had the itch for more education. After five years, she was back to Regina, earning her masters. While there, she worked as a seasonal professor at the university. When asked about being a professor, she answers, “I much preferred teaching high school kids than university students. They’re unpredictable and fun.” As she was working on her master’s thesis, she worked for Katimavik, a youth experience program that gave young people an opportunity to work in areas across Canada while seeing various parts of the country.Sheenjoyed this experience, but still had a heart that beat for teaching. She left Katimavik to teach in Ceylon. A year later, Henger became a principal in Gladmar.Four years later, in 1985, her father’s failing health played a factor in her decision to return to Carnduff and help her mother care for him. She went back to teaching. “I preferred teaching. I enjoyed helping students learn from the mistakes that teens are prone to make as they mature. As a principal, I had to work with teachers and parents and the mistakes they made. Mistakes where they should have known better,” she said. Carnduff turned out to be her final gig. Sixteen years later, she retired but subbed when needed, until COVID-19 hit in 2020. Living in Prairie View Villa, she didn’t want to risk bringing COVID to the seniors who lived there.That closed the book on 55 years of teaching. She looks back at teaching three generations with fondness. Once, while president of the Carnduff Golf Club, she looked at the board members around the table, and realized that several of them were former students of hers. She takes pride in initiating Carnduff ’s high school work-experience program, where many young people found their career calling. She relishes moments when she helped students resolve potential clashes, such as the time she physically restrained a student from attacking a principal, preventing further disciplinary consequences.“Itreated all students with respect and as equal, despite social and reputational differences,” she said.She enjoys meeting former students. They occasionally joke that they made her the good teacher that she was. Henger never married but when asked if she has any children, she is quick to reply, “Yes, I have a 1,000 of them. My Hengerstudents.”keepsbusy in her retirement, although a bad knee has slowed her down. She golfs, enjoys making puzzles and she still educates herself by reading. She loves geocaching, a hi-tech scavenger hunt that has taken her to 10 provinces, 41 states and Iceland. She’s planning on taking in a geocaching cruise this fall along the Danube River. Now in her mid-70’s, life is anything but boring. Does she miss teaching? “No,” she said. Henger doesn’t miss dealing with the cell phone issues, changing family dynamics and the ‘mefirst’ attitude that many of today’s teachers face. She feels that teachers’ hands are increasingly tied as they face the various situations that arise.

In 1969 he moved to Saskatoon to study at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine.Upon receiving his degree, he moved to Carnduff to begin his veterinarian practice. Griffin put in long days to establish his clinic, which has paid off for him with his lengthy list of Notclients.onlyis Griffin a cattle vet and a small animal vet, but he also has a great deal of knowledge and experience when it comes to horses. Dr. Trevor Griffin followed in his father’s footprints and is also a veterinarian at the Carnduff Bordervet AnimalTrevorServices.studied first at the University of Saskatchewan in animal science, then attended the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon. He completed his degree in 2003 and joined his father at the Carnduff clinic. Trevor and his wife and three children reside in Carnduff He is now the manager of the Carnduff Bordervet Animal Health Service as Griffin has semi-retired, although he still helps out when it gets exceptionally busy. Both Griffins have a great deal of experience with cattle. They are always striving to help farmers with herd production and herd health. Equine is a specialty for both Griffins. They understand the importance of keeping horses in top shape and healthy for the variety of sports that horses enter. In 2002, Bordervet was incorporated and in 2006 it added a sister clinic in Melita, Man., with Dr. Corey Jones, veterinarian technician Karen Summer and receptionist Brittany Fletcher.Atthe Carnduff office a new face will be seen, as Dr. Glenda Gueco just recently joined the team. Veterinarian technician Tanya Brown is always ready to assist the veterinarians. Brown will travel to farm calls and is on hand to help out any way she can. Kailey Dunnigan is the receptionist but is also a veterinarian technician.Ifit isn’t Dunnigan that answers the phone, it will be Sidney Parker or Sheila Gay. One might see high school students regularly at the Carnduff Bordervet. They come in to shadow the staff to see if this might be their futureAlthoughcareer.exotic animals are not something they usually care for, they do have two bearded dragons named Sammie and George who have made the clinic home. Dogs and cats are also a huge part of this practice. They offer spay and neuters and have a full supply of animal medicines in their pharmacy. Bordervet Animal Services provides emergency services, dental care and surgeries. They have a full-service animal hospital as well.
Government announces $500 rebates for adults
The Carnduff Bordervet clinic has been a big part of the town for many years.
The clinic offers friendly service with information and support to all their clients, while keeping a superior work environment for their staff It is their motto to offer the highest standards in veterinarian care and offering support to all pet parents.
The Government of Saskatchewan has announced a four-point affordability plan to help people address the rising cost of “Higherliving.global commodity prices are driving growth in Saskatchewan’s economy, creating jobs and improving our budget position,” deputy premier and Finance Minister Donna Harpauer“However,said. higher commodity prices are also driving up the cost of almost everything you buy. Saskatchewan people own the resources. Saskatchewan people should benefit when resource prices are high. That’s why we’re going to use higher resource revenues to help address rising costs and to retire up to $1 billion of the province’s debt.” Point one of the plan is the Saskatchewan Affordability Tax Credit payment. All Saskatchewan residents who are 18 years of age or older, as of Dec. 31, and who have filed a 2021 tax return as a resident of Saskatchewan will receive a $500 Saskatchewan Affordability Tax Credit cheque this Saskatchewanfall. residents who have not filed a 2021 tax return are encouraged to do so as soon as possible. The cost to government of the tax credit is estimated at $450 million, with up to 900,000 cheques to be mailed. Point two of the plan is the removal of fitness and gym memberships and some recreational activities from the planned October PST expansion on admissions, entertainment and recreation. PST will not be charged to residents under 18 years of age participating in recreational activities including golf, curling, hockey, tennis, basketball and similar formal sporting activities where the individual participates in a league or service where a round, game or match are completed. These activities will be taxable for individuals 18 years of age and older. PST will be applied to ticket admissions to sporting events, concerts, trade shows, fairs, rodeos, movie theatres, professional water parks and entertainment admissions like escape rooms, batting cages and arcades.Point three of the plan extends the small business tax rate reduction, at zero per cent retroactive to July 1 and delaying the restoration of the rate to two per cent to July 1, 2024. This will help small businesses as they continue to recover from the pandemic, while facing new challenges like inflationary pressures, interest rate hikes and supply chain issues. Point four is the retirement of up to $1 billion in operating debt. Debt is now forecast to be $1.7 billion lower by fiscal year-end than projected at budget.

Cougars host first Robertson memorial tournament
Ben Johnstone, who is the captain of the Cougars and is on the team’s executive, was also pleased with the response.“Weoriginally posted the tournament details July 19th on our Facebook page,” said Johnstone. “Six hours later, we had 72 players register with a waiting list. We talked to the Carlyle Golf Club, and they agreed to having up to 108 register. We did so in no Nicoletime.”Currie is also on the Cougars executive and like Johnstone also golfed in the tournament.“Everyone had a great time,” said Currie. “We had a lot of golfers from out of town and a lot of Wade’s friends and relatives in attendance. The tournament went smoothly. We can’t thank everyone who supported us enough. Sponsorship, volunteers, golfers and the golf course staff.” Robertson last played hockey on the Carlyle Legends recreation team. A jersey was brought to the clubhouse and signed by all 108 of those who golfed that day. It will be framed and proudly displayed on the walls of the Carlyle Sports Arena in Wade’s memory. “Before his passing, I talked to Wade about what date we should be holding this tournament,” said Johnstone. “He told me, why not hold it the weekend of Carlyle Fun Dayz? Might be a good idea to bring the two events together. It just shows what a great community person he Addedwas.”

Currie, “Wade had a passion for sports and seeing kids playing and having fun. We will also be making donations to a few organizations from the net proceeds of this tournament that support what he was all about.” In closing, Johnstone also wanted to thank Ty Currie, Branden Lequyer and Marlee Cormier for helping to plan the golf tournament. Regarding the upcoming season, he said: “We might be missing one or two players from last year, but we do have some new ones lined up. We will be fielding a competitive team. And one final note. Our annual golf tournament will always be called the Wade Robertson Memorial.”

Jorgenson family holds a reunion in Redvers
Those who attended the Jorgenson family reunion gather for a group photo. Photo submitted by Valerie Bennett
The Log Cabin Campground in Redvers was the focal point for the Jorgensen Family Reunion, held over three days from July Approximately22-24. 115 descendants of Johannes (Joe) and Ingeborg Jorgensen, representing four generations, and eight of the 10 branches gathered for a weekend of fun and celebration. Family travelled as afar away as Ottawa, and various parts of Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.Registration and a mixer game, along with a wiener roast with all the trimmings, kicked off the Friday evening gathering.Saturday morning began with a bus tour of Joe and Ingeborg Jorgensen homesteads, cemetery visits, as well as a tour of a country school site that family members attended. A family history pamphlet, a homestead postcard, along with a jar of homestead soil, (still in the family name), as well as plenty of knowledge and information and fun was shared on the tour.
Saturday afternoon activities included were a crib tournament, a slo-pitch ball game, and plenty of games and crafts to keep the kids busy.Saturday evening was spent indoors at the rec centre, where a lovely catered meal was provided and very much enjoyed by everyone in attendance. The evening social consisted of many door prizes and prizes from the day’s events. A family trivia game gave an opportunity to win a new updated version of the family history book, a candy jar content guess, a 50/50 draw, a bucket auction, and a raffle for a homemade quilt, which was a story quilt and a table runner. Each family branch donated towards the bucket auction, and took turns sharing their story behind their item. Many had sentimental items and stories, while other prizes showcased a flare of creativity all their own.Much love, thought and care went into the making of the quilt. Fabric pieces were chosen to reflect the lives and interests of the Jorgensen family. The quilt depicted the family and their new life and home in Canada, moving from their homeland of Denmark.
A memorial table was set up to share, photos, items and information that was to be taken home and cherished for thoseOtherinterested.homegrown fun included a lovely pair dressed up as Joe and Ingeborg. They shared their love of their children and their take on the family. Someone dressed as a Vikingmade an appearance, with helmet and axe, showing strength, pride and perseverance. The evening wrapped up with a wonderful yet tearful slide show, representing the lives, love and connections of the family. A group photo was taken, along with more socializing and visiting throughout the evening.With much thought, planning and preparations into the weekend, everyone of every age had something to do and enjoy.Fundraisers over the weekend allowed the Jorgensen Family to make donations to Dannevirke Lutheran Church Cemetery Perpetual Care Fund and the Redvers Recreation Centre. Along with the beautiful weather and spacious campgrounds it allowed the family for many early coffee parties, and latenight campfire gatherings.It was a wonderful weekend of reconnecting, reminiscing and making new memories.
Our amazingly strong and resilient Mom and Grandma Thelma Edna Pirlot (nee Kyle)passed away peacefully at the age of 98 on August 12, 2022. As per Mom’s request, a private graveside service willbe held. Named for a character in the book that her mother wasreading prior to her arrival on April 16, 1924, our Thelma was always a put-together lady who never liked her hands for theyshowed the wear and tear from milking cows in her younger yearsand of being a hard working woman who could do anything she set her mind to. Mom married our beloved father Bill Pirlot onJune 16, 1944. She kept the home fires burning as a truck driver’s wife. Mom always said she raised three families: Loreen born within her first year of marriage, Billie born almost 7 years later and then the surprise of Marci at the age of 43. She spoke proudly of Loreen’s accomplishments as a singer, cheered on Billie as an athlete and was grateful that Marci was there to walk beside her in her golden years. She sorely missed Dad since his passing in 1997 but always got by with a push and a cup of tea even with declining health, the loss of her son in 2015 and the arrival (and survival) of covid. She hated leaving her apartment at the age of 90 but delighted almost until the end in telling tales of growing up around Manor, SK with her parents Bill and Maria Kyle (nee McBride), and siblings Al, Ray, Bubs, Stu, Mona Wiggins, Violet Adams and surviving sister Dorothy Beatty. Mom was a hockey player, an egg grader and worked in the Manor Hotel. She became an entrepreneur with the opening of The Duck-Inn Cafe and Bill’s Bar during days of rations and with Dad fighting TB in Fort San. After establishing a home in Regina, she took in boarders to help make ends meet. She loved the homes that she and Dad created on Athol Street and Yarnton Crescent and it showed both inside and out. Mom cherished her McBride ties to Scotland and her Kyle roots. Her legacy lives on in daughter Loreen Pirlot, grandchildren Jessica Malach, Jonathan Kyle Malach (Mariko; Jonin Kyle and Takeo); daughter-in-law Joy Pirlot, grandchildren Cory (Christine; Christopher, Kayleigh and Kyle), Rosalyn (Travis McMillen; Kieran and Declan), Jason (Kailey; Carys and Cormac); and daughter Marci (Dale) Brisbourne, grandsons Colby and Wyllie, cousin Kim (Regan) Rabe and family, sister-in-law Brith Pirlot, cousin Charlotte Kissock, cousin Mary MacKenzie in Scotland, and many nieces and nephews. She will be laid to rest beside Dad and Billie. Donations may be made in Mom’s memory to the Village of Manor (community cemetery fund), Box 295, Manor, SK, S0C 1R0. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online obituary at: www.MyAlternatives.ca

A strong economy and higher resource prices have meant a significant improvement in the province’s finances. “That means we can balance the budget, pay down debt and help Saskatchewan residents with the rising cost of living,” said deputy premier and Finance Minister Donna Harpauer as she released the first quarter financial update. “That’s growth that works for everyone.” At first quarter, Saskatchewan is forecasting a surplus of $1.04 billion for 2022-23, a $1.51 billion improvement from budget, largely due to higher revenue from non-renewable resources.“Strong resource prices have meant higher provincial revenues, and that’s good news, but it also means the cost of almost everything you buy has gone up,” Harpauer said. “That’s why our government is using those higher revenues to help Saskatchewan people with the rising cost of living.” The affordability plan is fully incorporated into the first quarter forecast. At first quarter, revenue is forecast to be $19.17 billion, up $2.02 billion (11.7 per cent) from budget. This increase is largely due to a $1.86 billion increase in non-renewable resource revenue, reflecting higher potash and oil prices. At first quarter, total expense is forecast to be $18.13 billion, up $508.2 million (2.9 per cent) from budget. The increase is largely due to $450 million for the one-time Saskatchewan Affordability Tax Credit payments to Saskatchewan residents.

The 22nd annual local Ryder Cup tournament between Golf Kenosee and White Bear Lake Golf Course took place lastInweekend.thisyear’s version, there were 54 holes played. At White Bear on Saturday, there was a two-person better ball in the morning and a two-person alternate shot in the afternoon. White Bear took both matches 4-2 and led 8-4 after day one. As has happened on several occasions in past years, Golf Kenosee dominated play on their home turf and won the individual matches 9 1/2 to 2 1/2 Sunday. Golf Kenosee won the tournament 13 1/2-10 1/2.White Bear co-captain Earl Silcox, together with Clarence Gelowitz, was gracious in “Congratulationsdefeat. to Golf Kenosee. They field a strong lineup year after year and are a tough team to beat. I also wish to thank all the golfers for taking the time this weekend to golf and being away from their families.” Golf Kenosee pro shop manager Ben Brown also golfed in this competition and was asked about homecourse“Everyadvantage.yearitis a big factor in these matches. It’s the best players, for the most part, at each club and both sides really know their own courses. Where to leave the ball on certain holes, and of course each team has a big advantage on its own greens. It seems to come down to whoever gets more points at the opposite team’s course wins, and it was true again this year.”
Members of the Golf Kenosee team are, back row, from left, Dean Bellegarde, Rob West, assistant captains Brent Ruthven and Ed Fahlman, Tom Hamilton, Carter Hilkewich, Dee Meszaros, Theoren West, Sheldon Warner and Kayle Swanson.

Golf Kenosee wins seventh straight Ryder Cup
It has been pretty hot these days and it is just what we need as the crops are starting to turn to Unfortunatelygold. I spent four days in Moosomin’s hospital, where I nearly froze at night even with two extra heavy blankets. I am thankful I’m back home to sunshine, fresh food and my friends.We have welcomed John Brownell into our villa family and we hope he enjoys his stay. I am dealing with home care and a clinic and everyday dressings on my troublesome arm. The girls at my table asked me if I was ready for card Bingo and I sure am, maybe I’ll win some but if not it will be fun.

By Stephanie Zoer Cindy Howden has been painting for over 40 years and this is her first time at the Artist Colony of Moose Mountain Provincial Park.Howden lives in Regina and continues to work fulltime while also pursuing her art career.Folk art is where it began for Howden. She also does oil paintings, but her favourite is acrylic abstract painting.This form of art is pouring paint from a cup and swishing the paint on canvas back and forth to create a unique and original design. None are ever the same.According to Howden, it is a fun way to do art. With plastic covering the floor and an apron on, this form of art can become messy.Abstract painting can be done in diverse ways. Using a blow dryer is one to move the paint around or simply splattering the paint on the canvas. Once the paint dries, which usually takes two to three days, a scene or landscape may be painted over the abstract colours. Howden also makes jewelry. Each piece is an original. She also does abstract art on wooden boxes. Resin art is another one of Howden’s specialties.Howden loves to teach her art and will host a paint night to accommodate this. She conducted one class that had 48 people through Zoom during COVID-19 restrictions. While at the colony, Howden was camping at Kenosee Lake. She had not been at the lake in 30 years and had not camped in 12 years. Her SUV managed to house all her camping supplies and artHowdenitems. felt welcomed by the friendly atmosphere at the cabins. Her first day was inspired by the younger generation coming to see her beautiful work.“The neatly painted and clean cabins are a pleasure to be in and I love it here. It is beautiful,” said onyturnshows.athasistberHowdenHowden.isamem-ofthePrairieArt-GuildinReginaanddisplayedherarttradeshowsandartItisherhopetore-totheArtistCol-nextyear.
