The annual Terry Fox Run was held in Arcola last Friday afternoon. In addition to raising funds for cancer research, the Arcola School also ran in loving memory of their longtime kindergarten teacher Lynette Peet.

Peet fought a courageous battle with cancer, starting in April 2021, but passed away on Aug. 27. She is survived by her husband Parry, her two sons, Wendal and Thomas, and her Peet and Holland families.

Lynette Peet is also missed by her Arcola School family.

Judy Naylen was one of the organizers of the Arcola Terry Fox Run.

“Arcola School Panthers and our community should be so proud. Our 2022 Terry Fox Run was amazing. We have raised $8,750, which is our most ever. A special thanks to Mrs. Peet’s family and friends who joined us on our walk and raised a large amount of money, over $2,000.

“The photos and memories were a special touch to help us remember Mrs. Peet, and the sea of purple shirts was a beautiful sight. Thank you to all that participated and walked with us.”

The Holland and Peet families issued a joint statement regarding Arcola School and the 2022 Terry Fox Run. “We wish to commend Lynette’s

Arcola School family (teachers and students) for their continued support of their Mrs. Peet all the way through her cancer journey. They never once waivered in that support and Lynette loved them for it.

“Mrs. Peet would have objected to them choosing “Terry Fox Run 2022” as their way to honour her. She cer-

tainly would NOT have wanted it to be about her because ‘it should just be about Terry Fox and his dream.’ She would, however, have been pleased to know that there were increased donations as a result and if she was the reason for that, then maybe it’s okay.

“Lynette’s families are grateful to her Arcola school family for taking

the time and effort to pay tribute to Mrs. Peet. Thank you for including us in the event planning and for the invitation to participate. Her husband Parry, her son Wendal, and her mother-in-law Margaret were able to join the run and witness first-hand the love and regard that Arcola school had and continues to have for Mrs. Peet.”

In honour of Peet, signs were placed along the route with fond memories from her family and local students at the school. Every morning from Sept. 19-23, the school intercom broadcasted interesting facts and quotations from both Terry Fox and Peet.

Sept. 19: Terry Fox was just 18 years old when he lost his leg to cancer. He fought cancer for five years until he passed away at age 23. Peet fought cancer six years ago and the cancer came back last year. She fought it for 16 months until she died at the age of 50.

“I just wish people would realize that anything is possible if you try; dreams are made possible if you try.” Terry Fox.

“I’m sure feeling the love from my school family. I read this quote every time I go to treatment. Once you choose hope, anything is possible.” Lynette Peet, May 28.

Stories of Peet shared with the students

Sept. 20: The Terry Fox Foundation has raised $850 million since 1981. If every student and staff member in Arcola School could raise just $20. we would have a whopping $9,000.

“When I started this run, I said that if we all gave one dollar, we’d have $22 million for cancer research, and I don’t care man, there’s no reason that isn’t possible. No reason.” Terry Fox.

“Having cancer is hard. Having cancer during a pandemic is hard also. I take a bag of treasures with me to every treatment and think of you all.” Lynette Peet, June 2021.

Sept. 21: Terry Fox had two brothers and one sister, Fred, Darrell and Judith. Mrs. Peet had two sisters, Tara and Amber, a husband and two sons.

They both loved their families dearly. Mrs. Peet also had many different families. Her 4-H family was very important to her. She joined the Bethune 4-H Beef Club at age nine and continued to show cattle until the age of 21.

“Always finish what you started” was Terry Fox’s motto.

“I haven’t run out of fight yet but there are definitely some sad moments.” Lynette Peet, July 26, 2022.

There’s Something in it for Everyone!

rugby. Basketball was his favourite.

Mrs. Peet attended Bethune school from kindergarten to Grade 9 and then Lumsden for Grades 10-12. She played lots of sports and excelled at track and field and curling.

“Even though I’m not running anymore, we still have to try and find a cure for cancer,”

Terry Fox

Mrs. Peet’s mom, Myrla Holland, told a story about Mrs. Peet always winning the races, except for this one day. She was winning and then slowed down to let the other girl win. Her mom asked why she did that and her daughter an-

swered, “She needed to win today, I didn’t.” She was a generous lady, that Mrs. Peet.

Sept. 23: Today is the day we do our very best walking or jogging in memory of Mrs. Peet. She had a brave heart and continued to fight until the week of her passing. She told her husband that she would do the things she hadn’t finished when she felt better. She was not going to be a quitter.

“I’m not a quitter. Nobody is ever going to call me a quitter,” Terry Fox.

“I just know that I’ll have to fight cancer for the rest of my life.” Lynette Peet, May 2021.

Carlyle’s Legion branch raises 32 veterans’ banners

By Gord Paulley

Driving down Main Street Carlyle, people may have noticed new banners adorning the light standards.

Thirty-two banners representing 50 veterans who fought for our country have been raised and will remain displayed until after Remembrance Day.

The banner project started last fall when there were four banners raised. Comrade Jack Wilson is a long-time member of the local legion.

“With a generous donation from the John and Fran Brown family, additional banners were purchased for people without immediate family or financial means. We now have 32 on display and expect more in the coming years.”

Comrade Audrey Young has several relatives overlooking the streets of Carlyle.

“Maisie Young was my husband Howard’s mother. She had three sons enlisted in World War 2, Howard, Ron, and Wes. They all returned home safe and sound. Her brother, William Anderson, did not, and died in battle.”

Over the years, the Carlyle Legion has been successful obtaining a

treasure trove of pictures and background information of residents who fought for their country. The walls of their Legion Hut on Fifth Street West are adorned with photographs.

Helen Finucane is the daughter of John Brown.

“My father didn’t speak about the war until the Queen Mother passed away in 2002. Then he starting to reminisce about the King and Queen inspecting their troop while he was stationed overseas. I am extremely pleased that the banners are now proudly displayed on Main Street Carlyle. The Legion has done an admirable job.”

Comrade Nedra Clark also provided further details about the banner locations. “Although most of the banners are on Main Street, others have been raised farther along from the railway tracks to Carlyle Avenue, Highway 9 and Main Street, and Highway 9 and the service road. One can also see banners at the corner of Railway Avenue and Fifth Street West, and one is located near the cenotaph.”

Clark is pleased with the local interest shown in the banner project.

“The legion wishes to thank the Town of Carlyle for supporting our project and taking the time to raise our banners. It is a great way to honour the families whose relatives have fought for our country. I also wish to thank the families that who purchased banners in remembrance of their family veterans.”

Craig Bird is the founder of the South East Military Museum in Estevan. Nearly 100 memorial banners have been displayed in 10 southeast communities this fall, including the ones in Carlyle. Other towns displaying banners include Carnduff, Lampman, Redvers and Stoughton.

“Thank-you to the hardworking comrades of the No. 248 Royal Canadian Legion Carlyle branch. Since 2019, it has been my goal to honour more and more of these local heroes in their hometowns. The Carlyle Legion has really assisted us in promoting the banners and obtaining the important family history. Their efforts are truly appreciated.”

For further information on the banner project, please contact any local member of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Arcola’s Creative Tables is a cause worth supporting

By Stephanie Zoer

Creative Tables will be able to hold their fundraising event after two years away.

This year’s Creative Tables will be held on Oct. 13 at the Arcola Prairie Place Complex, with doors opening at 5 p.m.

Around 300 tickets have been sold, so there is still room and time to get a ticket. If you are interested in attending, contact organizer Darlene Olsen at 306-577-8087. Tickets are available until Oct. 2.

The idea of the Creative Table began around 2007, when Olsen, who is from the Arcola area, conceived the idea. Olsen remains the organizer of the event.

Olsen has been involved with the Look Good, Feel Good program for 29 years. This program is for women that have dealt with or have cancer.

The Look Good, Feel Good workshop is held once a month for two hours in Regina, giving these women a chance to be with other women that have experienced the same issues.

“These women often feel sad and alone,” Olsen said.

This program offers skin care products that can be used for those that have dealt with cancer, as not all products are safe for them to use. It gives them a chance to feel beautiful and glamorous.

These monthly workshops are held across Canada at 114 separate locations.

At one time a fashion show was organized in March, but it was held in Regina as a fundraiser and often women from the area would attend, but weather could create an issue.

The Creative Tables was held in the fall. Olsen decided to go full force with the idea, and

began to iron out the bumps, which now has turned into a successful yearly event.

The idea was for a host to book a table for eight to 10 guests or friends. The host will decorate the table from a tablecloth, place settings, and create a theme that would be fun and welcoming.

At one time the women brought their own meal and served it, but now the event is catered.

This year the caterers are coming from Lampman and according to Olsen, they are highly recommended.

Three speakers are lined up as well. Nancy Parker, Sherry Zacharias and Tammy Riddell will all take turns on the microphone. They are all teachers and have taught in the Arcola area.

While the evening is filled with food, socializing and speakers, there will also be a silent auction.

Reconciliation must be a year-round effort

David Willberg Willberg’s World

For the second time, Sept. 30 will be a federal holiday to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Since this is a federal holiday, it doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re going to get a day off. Schools will be closed this year (they weren’t last year), but a lot of businesses will be open. Sept. 30 will be business as usual for a lot of people.

Many of us will wake up, we’ll go to work, we’ll come home and we’ll do whatever it is we do after we head home for the day.

Some of us will take a few moments to pause and reflect on the long-standing effects caused by residential schools, not just for the survivors, but for generations of Indigenous people that followed. We’ll think about the progress that has been made in our relationship with Indigenous communities, and the extensive work that remains.

You’ll see events. There were activities last year at reserves and in communities across the country. There should be more this year now that there is time to plan something, and the COVID-19 restrictions have mostly been lifted across Canada.

Last year the government announced the federal holiday for Truth and Reconciliation a few weeks prior, giving people little advance notice. There wasn’t much of an opportunity to alter schedules.

And we saw how much this day really meant to our prime minister when he decided to take a holiday in Tofino, B.C., rather than be in Ottawa, despite all of the talk we’ve heard from him in the past seven years about the need to improve the quality of life for Indigenous peoples.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation needs to be a time of reflection, recognition and resolve.

But we should ask what would be more effective for students? Giving them the day off in which they get to do what they want? Or being in school, where they can learn more about Indigenous peoples’ rich culture, and hear stories from residential school survivors?

I know they’re going to have lots of opportunities to learn about it this week and at other points in the school year, and it’s great they’re learning about residential schools. When I was in school, we didn’t hear about them. We heard about First Nations people and their culture, but we didn’t learn about the abuse and the other horrors at these schools, the fact that they had graveyards, or that there were still residential schools in Canada. (The last one didn’t close until I was in university).

Indigenous communities still face the same issues they faced a year ago. Those who live on reserves still face the same problems. They still encounter discrimination from non-Indigenous people. Long-standing drinking water advisories remain.

It’s also important to realize just how much work remains in building relationships with Indigenous peoples and how long it’s going to take. We didn’t get to this point in our history overnight. We’re not going to solve these problems overnight. It’s going to take the time and effort of generation after generation. And we’ll have to recognize that this is one of those problems that will never truly end.

So regardless of whether you get a holiday on Sept. 30 or not, it’s vital to take the time to pause and reflect. And it’s important to commit to do your part.

And then it’s vital to continue the efforts, both individually and collectively, throughout the year.

Oh baby, you are precious

ing to navigate its world? Bunnies. Ponies. Cubs. So cute. Baby animals bring a smile to our face as we notice their little features and find laughter in their antics.

Phone:

I visited a zoo this summer that sits on 190 acres of parkland and is home to 2,200 animals, representing 300 species.

And while lions, bears, gorillas, zebras, camels and elephants – you know, the big guys –typically feature long line ups, on the day we were at the Milwaukee County Zoo, it was a newborn that was capturing most of the attention.

The day before our visit, a giraffe named Asante was born. A neonatal checkup indicated he weighed 168 pounds and stood 5’1’’ tall. He was at 12:20, standing at 1:05 and nursing at 1:40.

The next day, a large crowd seemed to always be present as visitors tried to get a good look at the new giraffe. He was adorable. But then, little ones usually are, aren’t they?

I am not a cat person but I think kittens are absolutely precious. Puppies? What can be cuter than watching one learn-

Consider how we respond when a baby of the human variety is brought into a room. All eyes move toward the child, followed quickly by outstretched arms to get in some cuddle time. There’s just something about holding a baby that makes you feel good inside. Contented. That all is right with the world.

Babies are precious. They bring out our best instincts of protectiveness, gentleness, care and nurture. We speak kindly and in soft tones when we hold a baby. We know we are embracing something very precious, someone to be cherished. It doesn’t matter if we know the baby or not. A baby, by its mere presence, brings it out in us.

Wouldn’t it be great if we continued to treat that child the same way throughout the entire life? Imagine that little one being greeted with grins, oohs and aahs all along in life. But of course, that’s not the case. As we grow we take on more of our own care and protection and then assume roles of caregiver and protector of others. But think of what happens when someone has fulfilled many of those

roles and then are not given due consideration, or worse, get neglected or outright ignored by too many. The group some of us aren’t paying close enough attention to? Our seniors.

At a time when our elders crave our conversation and companionship, too often we don’t show proper interest in them. While we drop everything to interact with a baby, too few of us make interacting with seniors any sort of priority.

I used to arrange a weekly children’s story time. I had no trouble putting together a schedule of people willing to come in each week and read to children. Everyone I talked to said yes. But a friend of mine had a vastly different experience trying to arrange volunteers to come and read to residents in longterm care. While young ones bring out our enthusiasm, our seniors don’t get our same eagerness.

Take a look at our parks, facilities, organizations, churches, schools and hospitals. We have what we have because of those who came before us. What they poured into our communities is enough reason for us to ensure we make the effort to be a presence in their lives now.

But it’s about more than gratitude for what they’ve done. We need

to show appreciation not for who they were…but who they are.

Oct. 1 is International Day of Older Persons, which coincides in Canada with National Seniors’ Day, an occasion to celebrate the contributions of seniors in every corner of our country. They were and are friends, coaches, leaders, parents, grandparents, great grandparents, colleagues, volunteers, visionaries and on it goes.

Taking a moment to say thank you is great, but taking an interest in them (remembering they took an interest in us) is so much better.

Make some phone calls and check in with a senior. Send cards. Put on the coffee and invite someone for conversation. Visit a senior’s centre or residence and spend time sharing stories. Ask questions. Soak in the wisdom. Show an interest in all they have achieved. Let them celebrate with you as they affirm your achievements.

We need to cherish seniors the same way we cherish babies. Better yet, we need to value all those we share this life with, regardless of what stage any of us are at. That baby grows up, but it never grows out of the need for love and care. Every individual is better off if someone’s eyes light up when they walk into a room. That’s my outlook.

South East Cornerstone school board gets back to business at first open meeting of the school year

It didn’t take the South East Cornerstone Public School Division board members much time to get down to the business at hand following a twomonth break from their public meeting schedule.

Board business had continued during the summer recess, but always with in-camera and informal settings, so this was the first session since their mid-June meeting that the board convened for a public gathering. It was also live streamed from the school division’s head office in Weyburn on Sept. 21.

One major presentation absorbed board room attention. Time was spent with newly installed director of education Keith Keating being joined by Michael Graham, who is the co-ordinator of curriculum; Britney Savage, a Cyber Stone virtual school educator; and Raylene Forseth, mental health consultant diving into an evolving topic of students and their learning environments.

The environments that are dedicated to assisting them achieve success within the Cornerstone system include mental health awareness and assistance.

Keating noted flexibility and understanding were key ingredients to address safety concerns, as students and teachers pursue academic topics as well as being aware of mental health needs and assistance.

With the return to full academic and extra curricular activities following over two years of partial shutdowns due to the COVID pandemic, it was important to once again connect with students’ transition needs, sometimes through counselling sessions or community liaisons they felt.

Responses to intervention, learning support teachers, educational assistants who address intensive needs in some students, are all aware of mental health needs as they unfold.

Keating pointed out that within Cornerstone, just under 96 per cent of the high school students graduate within a fiveyear period.

Savage led the board members through a compendium of special project adventures taken by students that led to academic credits in Grades 10 through 12. Some subjects were not delivered by teachers but rather, were student driven like special art projects that led to a children’s illustrated book, or special projects in a mechanical world, even when a student was not able to attend one of the division’s two comprehensive schools to engage in shop or special

vocation classes with an immediate instructor.

Keating pointed out that sometimes geographic locations worked against the student while Savage noted that by acknowledging these specific desires and talents within the student population, “they discover talents they may have never known they had.”

Mental wellness is not addressed directly, said Savage but recognizing the stigma that affected the environment they are in is important. They could address matters of stress, anxiety and selfcare which are some of the issues approached by students as well as educators.

There is a mental awareness program at the senior level developed in Saskatchewan that deals with four units of study that includes an introductory period, prevention, mental health disorders and self-care.

Savage said 36 students were enrolled currently and a good number registered for the next semester at Cyber Stone. That included 27 girls and eight boys who responded to surveys.

“I thought we’d get students who were interested in psychology or social work, but that wasn’t the case,” said Forseth. “Most were seeking their own well being.”

Savage said the mental health program does not absorb a lot of additional teacher time, and since she was a neutral, unbiased party to the program, her office served as a good conduit.

Forseth added some students had engaged with mentors already and others had community liaisons, and it was a posi-

tive exchange they could have with Savage, due to her unbiased stance in the processes.

“They could talk with her and she could refer them to a counsellor,” said Forseth.

That, she suggested, was a good thing since some students feel vulnerable in a typical classroom setting.

The concept was to remove barriers, said Savage.

The course includes a mix of academic learning and mental health promotion as students learn about mental health, themselves and opportunities to practice coping skills and self-care.

Graham focused his segment of the presentation on roles and duties of participants in those programs and others. He explained how mentors come into play and how some students have tackled more than one project for credits.

He pointed out how one student, as an example, excelled in a field of costume design, while the previously noted illustrator advanced his skills by taking on additional recommendations such as signage design.

The curriculum co-ordinator went on to say that another group attacked historical developments in mathematics, as another example and although these courses were not provincially developed, they were creditable with the curricula having to be reviewed by a teacher and the school for approval.

Indigenous mentorship programs were also in development stages, he said.

Graham said 156 students that he was aware of,

are currently engaged with this type of credit pursuit, but the list continued to grow with the approval of the Ministry of Education that reviews the projects twice a year. He said some courses, such as training for first responders receives a lot of interest and student traffic.

Graham went on to say

that South East Cornerstone has had 462 special project credits completed since they first came on board in 2010.

Topics that have received strong participation include such things as high performance athletics, 4-H, air cadets, costume design and beginning entrepreneurship.

Chairwoman Audrey Trombley, who returned to the board room for the September meeting following several meetings she had to attend remotely due to health-related issues, said the report on the presentation would be up for adoption by the board at their October public meeting.

Kenosee Lake holds annual Terry Fox Run

For the past 35 years, the residents of Kenosee Lake have walked or jogged in the annual Terry Fox Run.

Sisters Julie and Shelby Adams were the organizers of this year’s event, which was held Sept. 18.

“My sister and I organize the Terry Fox Run every year. It is special to our family as our mom, Joan Adams, was a close family friend of the Fox family and in fact attended his funeral,” said Julie. “Shelby maps out the five-kilometre route

and I take care of the advertising and collecting donations from everyone involved.”

Approximately $2,500 was raised from this year’s event.

“Our family hopes to bring awareness to such an inspirational man and a Canadian hero. We hope one remembers the incredible determination, spirit and strength it took Terry to accomplish what he did, and we hope to continue to bring awareness to such an incredible cause,” Julie said.

Shayda King crowned queen at the SRCA finals

By Stephanie Zoer

Shayda King is a 13-year-old young woman who loves to ride horses.

Shayda lives north of Stoughton on the farm of her parents, Kevin and Tammy King, along with her siblings Shoni and Zane.

Shayda is part of the fifth generation to be raised on this homestead, which has been in the family for 119 years.

It was decided that Shayda would run for the Saskatchewan Riding Clubs Association’s (SRCA) queen, representing the Stoughton New Hope Horse Club.

To qualify for queen at the SRCA, Shayda

needed to approach 30-50 sponsors, hold a barbecue, and perform volunteer hours.

Throughout the show, she needed to volunteer cleaning the arena, sitting at the raffle table and in general being available to help.

The SRCA event was held in Saskatoon on Sept. 23-25. Six riders from the Stoughton New Hope Horse Club competed in the event.

King received high point in her division, winning the buckle.

At the end of the show, the grand finale is held, where everyone enters the ring. It is at this time that the queen is announced.

Three young women

entered, and Shayda was announced as the queen and received a quality Circle Y saddle.

The Stoughton Club also received the award for the best-decorated stalls.

According to Tammy King, the club was an immense help. Everyone had a wonderful time and members stepped up to the plate when Shayda had to fulfil perspective queen duties.

Shayda always had the love for riding like the wind, Tammy said, even as a baby when in the saddle with her mother.

At the age of two, Shayda began to ride the family pony Crackerjack

and it continued from there.

The King family has always been involved in horses. Kevin at one time shoed in reining, Shoni partook in barrel racing in the college rodeos, and Zane rides saddle bronc at the college rodeo.

The horses on the farm are extensively used for cattle and sheep work as well.

Shayda also is a trick rider. She could be seen this past summer during Stoughton Daze, where she demonstrated her skills on her horse Cloud. She has had training from the Graham sisters.

They look forward to next year, as it will be held in October in Moose Jaw. It is there that Shayda will crown the next queen.

Perry and Carole-Lyne Dunn are fascinated by fish

By Gord Paulley

Many local Carlyle residents know Perry Dunn owns and operates Dunn Transport with his cousin Clint. Many do not know that Perry’s primary hobby is fish keeping.

It all began four years ago when Perry Dunn and his wife CaroleLyne gifted their son Blaze a beta fighting fish by the name of Rex and a small aquarium. Rex passed away just over one year later and a replacement beta, which they called Rex2, was purchased only to die after a few days. The cause of death was determined to be poor water quality.

Dunn started compiling information about fish, aquariums, water content and the like. He

purchased another larger aquarium and then began adding different varieties to his collection. His interest grew exponentially, along with everything else.

The COVID-19 pandemic began in March of 2020, coincidentally at the same time Dunn started to take a keen interest in the hobby. Every trip to Prairie Aquatics and Exotics in Regina resulted in acquiring more fish and more fish accessories.

The Dunns now own 12 aquariums, in sizes ranging from 10-125 gallons. One has even been custom built.

He estimates that they have well over 500 fish in their tanks, consisting of over 25 species. They have angelfish and many other

types of cichlids, puffers, shrimp, tetras, bristle-nose plecos, ti-

ger barbs, catfish, snails and Siamese algae eaters. Each aquarium is

equipped with its own filter system and live aquatic plants.

All the Dunn aquariums are fresh water and they use Town of Carlyle tap water. This water is rather acidic and all their aquariums require an adjustment to more salt or alkali content.

Carole-Lyne Dunn plays the role of family chemist. “Every Wednesday, the water in every aquarium is tested for PH, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. Water content is by far the most im-

portant part of owning a thriving aquarium ecosystem. We change approximately 30 to 50 per cent of the water in each tank every month and clean them on a regular basis,” she said.

Feeding the fish every night is costly and the Dunns often prepare and feed their food. In addition to many dried and frozen foods, they also cube their own kale, spinach and garlic. Other foods include frozen shrimp, bloodworms and krill.

Perry Dunn was very modest in evaluating his talents in becoming an experienced fish keeper.

“At first it was overwhelming, but after talking to my expert retailing friends in Regina, watching hundreds of You Tube videos, and reading and reading, I’m learning and frankly I take great pride in my fish. I highly recommend this as hobby,” he said.

The Dunns are becoming astute fish keepers and are raising many more species that are disease free due to their diligence. They have been also turning their attention to breeding and have seen growing fish family successes. All their aquariums are clean, well-kept and home to interesting species of fish together with beautiful live plants and décor.

“The ultimate aquarium regulates itself and is self-sustaining. Eventually it will have its own eco-system and require minimal maintenance. I am not there yet but will be some day,” he concluded. “I like the hobby and find it extremely relaxing. It is simply a great pastime.”

Carlyle resident Perry Dunn is an aquarist.

Standing together in truth and reconciliation

By Stephanie Zoer

The Stoughton Central School and Ocean Man First Nation students attended an Indigenous Day of Learning at Fillmore Central School on Sept. 20.

According to Kylee Carver, principal of the Fillmore school, it was a huge event and a fulfilling day.

In the spring, students from the school had attended Ocean Man to learn about powwows.

“We were treated so great at Ocean Man that we wanted to do something in return,” said Carver.

She began to think about it in June, but when school started in September, she wanted to get this in motion.

She was not sure how the event would get pulled off until they received some generous donations adding up to $7,000. Carver is so grateful for this, as this made the day even more successful.

With 300 students from the three areas, it was a little cramped, but they made it work.

Events were scheduled throughout the day, and the weather turned out perfect.

In attendance was Terrence Littletent, who is a world-renowned hoop dancer. He demonstrated his dance with volunteers, then he did a performance together with the students and a solo dance.

Amos McArthur is a community leader and a leader of ceremonies at many powwows. He helped with the outdoor games such as buffalo ball and the moccasin game.

Land bases teacher JR McArthur, language teacher Peter Bigstone and Amos McArthur raised a teepee and discussed the importance of the structure.

Throughout the day, the drums could be heard in the background, as students

from Ocean Man, along with Ocean Man’s principal Murray Bird, performed on them all day.

Raquel Oberkirsch, the treaty education

consultant from South East Cornerstone Public School Division, was also on hand. She helped the kids learn to make button pins and the orange t-shirts that

signify Truth and Reconciliation.

Kem and Dorothy Joyea showed the different regalia, including what the colours signified, the patterns

and symbols. They also explained the meaning of the powwows.

Thousands of beads were purchased for the event, with kits made for each of the students. Serenity Obey taught them Indigenous beading that the kids could take home. The following day, high school students enjoyed the art of beading.

According to Carver, everyone got involved and it was a fabulous day, and she is pretty proud of all the students.

“It was a day filled with laughter, learning, food, dancing, crafts, but most of all fellowship with our Indigenous neighbours,” said Carver.

The day was completed with a mini-powwow and a round dance in the gymnasium where everyone joined in.

“These moments of love, joy, respect and gratitude will bring our communities together in reconciliation and ultimately extinguish racism,” said Carver.

Blondie’s Carwash has a new owner in Stoughton

By Stephanie Zoer

Ira Noyes was born and raised in the Stoughton area and has always considered the town to be home.

Although she moved away for some time, she returned home when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

The opportunity to purchase a business came up and so she jumped on it.

Now called Blondie’s Carwash and located in Stoughton, it has seen a

few facelifts. The walls are a bright white, the water pressure has been turned up to give more pressure on the nozzle and the soap increased to give vehicles a shiny and fresh look.

This business is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Outside, Noyes plans to make a sitting area for people to enjoy.

It is also a possibility to add another bay for big rigs. According to Noyes, this is only in discussion

and would have to be approved by the Town of Stoughton before anything could be started.

Recently Noyes also purchased a home in Stoughton so she can further plant her roots here. The home needs some work, but she is excited.

Her ambition does not end there. She has another business coming up, but it is still in the makings and renovations are well underway. It is her hope to be up and running in the near future.

Ira Noyes is the new owner of Blondie’s carwash. Her dog Hawk is never far away.

Team South East boys win high school provincial golf title

By Gord Paulley

Eight students from the South East Cornerstone Public School Division competed in the high school golf provincials at Jack Fish Lodge in Cochin last weekend.

The Team South East boys won the team title for the third straight year.

Local male golfers who competed included Darien Herlick from Weyburn, Connor Spencer of Estevan, Kerr Cudmore of Wawota and Porter Barnett of Carlyle.

In individual play, Herlick finished second to Saskatoon’s Max Regier by one stroke, finishing the 36-hole competition with a score of 145. Spencer finished sixth, Cudmore ninth, and Barnett 10th.

Ella Kozak of Yorkton

handily won the female individual championship, carding a 67-69 for a 36hole total of 136. The second-place competitor finished 26 strokes behind.

The Cornerstone female team included Jade Krainyk of Redvers, Tiana Delalleau of Carlyle, Faith Gerspacher of Rocanville and Alianna Brown of Moosomin. Krainyk finished seventh in individual play. The squad from East Central won the girls’ team event.

Delalleau thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

“This was my first big competition, and I wasn’t sure of what to expect. But now I am looking forward to competing in more events. I had a great time at provincials and am more determined than ever to try and get

back there again next year. I learned some new things, met some great people, and had an amazing time.”

Cudmore shared his

thoughts on the tournament.

“The provincial weekend was a good experience. I thought the tournament was very organized

and the course was in great shape. I had a good first round but was disappointed with my game on day two. Proud of my team and excited to bring home

another provincial banner for my school.”

Krainyk was pleased with her performance.

“My driving and iron play were strong, but I had trouble putting and chipping on the smaller greens. All in all, it was a great experience, I really enjoyed myself.”

Porter Barnett was disappointed but satisfied with his 10th-place finish.

“There are a lot of good young golfers out there and the competition was tough. It got very windy in round two, but I felt that I held my own. The greens were very small and hard to hit in regulation. The accommodations were excellent, and the tournament was well organized. I have one more year to compete and I am really looking forward to 2023.”

Carlyle Curling Club holds successful golf tournament

By Gord Paulley

Seventy-two golfers participated in the second annual Carlyle Curling Club fundraising tournament this past weekend at the Carlyle Golf Course.

The event was a fourperson best ball and the entrants enjoyed warm but windy weather.

“We were extremely pleased with the turnout, and everyone had a great time,” said Carlyle Curling Club treasurer Mike Lothian. “Thankyou to all of those who came out, to our sponsors and to Terri Field

and her accommodating golf course sta ff.”

The net proceeds from the golf tournament will go towards the installation of air conditioning to the curling club building.

“The curling rink has seen a marked increase in being rented out for various functions during the year, including oilfield safety meetings and the like. We have needed air conditioning for the meeting room upstairs for years now and we are looking forward to its installation,” said Lothian.

WIFI was also add-

ed to the building this summer.

With pandemic issues waning, the curling club is looking forward to a full year of regular league curling and several bonspiels. Flooding of the ice surface will begin in October.

The president of the Carlyle Curling Club is Justine Kyle. Lindsay Broccolo is the secretary and Lothian the treasurer. Board members include Robin Brown, Natalie Bloomfield, David East, Zach Brown and Chaelynn Boutin.

Big Six Hockey League expands to 11 teams in 2022-23

By Gord Paulley

The Big Six Hockey League held their annual meeting this past weekend in Redvers.

Both the Arcola-Kisbey Combines and the Kipling Royals have returned to the league after a one-year leave of absence. They are joining the Bienfait

Coalers, Carlyle Cougars, Carnduff Red Devils, Midale Mustangs, Moosomin Rangers, Oxbow Huskies, Redvers Rockets, Wawota Flyers and Yellow Grass Wheat Kings.

The Red Devils are the defending league champions.

Combines player-manager Lucas Hislop is happy

to see his hometown back in the league.

“Interest is high, and we should be able to field a full lineup every game. It’s great to see senior hockey back in Arcola,” said Hislop.

Ryan Toms of Redvers is the league president. Ryan Thompson of Midale is vice-president and Tri-

na Mayer of Oxbow is the secretary. Kyle Hoium is the referee-in-chief, while Dean Horvath is league statistician.

The top eight teams in regular season play will make the playoffs. The quarter-finals will be a best of three, the semifinals and finals best of fives.

The regular season begins at the end of October and the final games before the playoffs are slated for Feb. 5.

Toms is looking forward to a great season.

“The pandemic issues should be behind us; everyone should be permitted to play, and we expect to see the great rivalries of

the Big Six Hockey League continue to grow. Everyone is looking forward to filling the rinks and enjoying another year of exciting senior hockey.”

Hungry Horse Ranch hosts wildcard dressage show

By Stephanie Zoer

A wildcard dressage show was put on by the Prairie Arabian Working Western and Sport Horse Association (PAWWSHA) on Sept. 24 at the Hungry Horse Ranch, which is located west of Wawota and owned by Ken and Roxanne Appell.

Roxanne Appell, who is an avid horsewoman, said the PAWWSHA was founded in 2017 by a handful of horse enthusiasts to increase the sport of riding in several disciplines, with the focus being dressage.

Two shows were planned for this year in Melville and Brandon, but due to low entries they had to be cancelled, so the wildcard shows came into place.

Dressage has 11 levels, beginning at the entry level and ending with the grand prix special.

Scoring is done out of 110. Each horse and rider will be judged on ease of handling, the horse and rider’s movement and their ease of transition from one gait to the other.

The Appells’ ranch

has a dressage ring and indoor arena, and she easily has 30-40 horses on her ranch, either owned by her or the boarder.

People of all ages, from babies to grandparents, attended the show, including 17 riders awaiting their turn to be evaluated and judged by Elaine Banfield from Winnipeg.

Each rider had two

tests at the level where they felt comfortable.

A wildcard show was also held in August, and one is planned for October, providing the weather continues to co-operate. Banfield will be the judge at that one as well.

Jolene De Vries was among the participants, riding her appaloosa-paint gelding Tex. He is approximately 11

years old with a unique history.

D.J. Cairns, a wellknown trainer went to an auction with her 11-year-old son, Nolan. Nolan saw this pen of weanling foals. Although Cairns did not want to purchase any of them, young Nolan had other ideas.

Tex came home to be on the family farm. According to Cairns, she

was not even sure if the young animal would make it, as he was in rough shape, but he did.

Nolan put the work into this young horse, and this horse would work all day. He even took him branding for seven days straight and the horse continued to work.

It was now time for Tex to find his forever home, as the Cairns al-

ways have young stock to work. Tex found his partner in De Vries.

De Vries had taken lessons on Tex before she became his owner, and they now do Level 2 in dressage.

The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. Everyone encourages each other to calm nerves and give words of inspiration.

The rules are according to the Saskatchewan Horse Federation. Although most riders donned dressage tack, it is not required. Western is also welcome.

Although the weather was sunny, the wind was something to contend with, along with the moose in the early morning hours.

This event is at a low cost to encourage others to join. Competitors had a chance to win some cash, based on their score.

Appell said these two wildcard events have seen new participants, which is exactly what they are looking for.

With a show coming up in October, it is their hope to attract even more riders into this sport.

Doreen Brandon 1924-2022

Doreen Brandon of Regina, SK, formerly of Frobisher and Arcola, SK passed away peacefully on September 18, 2022 with family by her side. Doreen was born on August 15, 1924 in Aberdeen, Scotland and remained in Scotland and England during her service in World War II. On May 5, 1945 Doreen married Ross Brandon, a Canadian serving member in the samesquadron and she moved to Canada as a War Bride in 1946. They made their home on the Brandon homestead northwest of Frobisher. They had two sons, Bill in 1947 and Dennis in 1952. In 1995, they made Arcola their home until Ross’s passing in 2002. Doreen remained in Arcola until 2012 when she moved into the College Park Retirement Residence, her home until her passing.

Doreen will be forever loved and missed by her son Dennis Brandon; grandchildren Lori (Brice) Kolybaba and their children Mitchell and Mackenzie, Lianne (Jeff) Herman and their children Jayden and Cole, Jason (Jessica) Brandon and their children Mya and Ty, Devon (Sharon) Brandon and their children Kayla and Skye, Shannon Brandon and her children Anika, Ava, and Jaxon, Nathan Brandon and his children Dana, Cohen, Hunter, and Brody, Bridget (Jaus) Neigum and their children Eve and Pierce, and Angela (Lenard) Vogelaar and their child Deziray. Also remembering Doreen are her daughters-in-law Brenda Brandon, Gail Brandon, and Cathy Beck, as well as many family members and friends in Canada, the United States, and Scotland. Doreen was predeceased by her parents Charles and Margaret Penrose; her brother and four sisters; husband Ross; and her son Bill.

Doreen was special. She loved her life in Scotland but jumped into her new life in Canada and made many cherished friends along the way. She worked hard on the farm but also knew the importance of having fun, making memories, and was always up for any new adventure. She was a proud lifelong member of the Royal Canadian Legion. She taught Highland and Tap Dancing in Frobisher for almost two decades, and when she retired to Arcola, she taught Scottish Country Dancing. She loved to tell stories and always did so with her wee Scottish accent and a smile. Doreen loved to sing as everyone who knew her could attest to, especially the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Doreen was featured on Facebook over the last few years as the Singing Grandma of College Park, something she was very proud of. The family would like to thank College Park and thank the staff at the Regina Pasqua Hospital Palliative Care Unit for their compassion and support. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to a charity of your choice.

A Celebration of Life was held at the Arcola United Church in Arcola, SK on Friday, September 23, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. Tea was held at the Arcola Hall following interment in the Arcola Cemetery. To leave an online message of condolence, please visit www. orsted-carlylefuneralhome.com

Arcola School SRC receives donation

Alida news – a tribute to a beloved person

By Edel Cowan

Margaret, Parry and Wendal Peet participated in the Terry Fox Run in honour of Lynette Peet at the Arcola School on Sept. 23. The route was truly a tribute to Lynette, with many pictures and memories posted along the way. They got to meet Lynette’s co-workers and see her kindergarten room.

She left a lasting impression at the school with teachers and students. The sea of purple was beautiful and a day to remember. They brought in $1,990 from the Alida community. Thanks to all who donated to the cause. Diane and Ken Potapinski also attended and participated in the run with the Peet family.

A barrel racing event was held in Carievale Sept.

17-18. The Southeast Turn and Burn Barrels of Cash event was attended by Skylar Mailhiot, Adrianna Junk, and Stephanie and Stella Campbell.

At this event, Skylar placed fourth when her horse Snooki ran 17.90 in the 1D open out of 88 open horses. Also in Carievale on Sept. 18, Haze Campbell competed in the mutton bustin’ event. A great fun-

filled weekend was had by everyone.

Sincere sympathy is extended to Margaret Gervais on the death of her sister Rita (Newbury) Murray of Melita, Man., who passed away Sept. 23 at the age of 85. A private family service will be held with interment at Melita Cemetery.

On Sept. 24, Jason and April Junk and Tim and Shelly Cowan attended the

Dallas Smith concert at Affinity Place in Estevan.

The following day, Shelly Cowan went to Estevan and accompanied her daughter Kelsey Rydberg to Regina, where they visited with Lacie Nilsen and helped Lacie celebrate her upcoming birthday. They returned home Monday.

There are big changes happening on the Alida curling ice area now. They

are getting ready for their annual October event. There is a twist to it this year, as it’s the Alida Haunted House Zombie Maze and Escape Rooms coming Oct. 22, 23, 28, and 29.

Also on Oct. 30, the fun fair will be held with lots of games, treats and costumes to see. It’s a spook-tacular event for all. For more info call Shelly at 306-4857023.
