Family home saved from large fire south

By Stephanie Zoer

Cheryl Lake walked past a window in her home, glanced out to see smoke and immediately dialed 911.

The Lake family has had a horrible 2022 and they frankly cannot wait until this year is behind them.

Earlier this year, her husband Jonathan was diagnosed with metastatic adenocarcinoma, a form of colon cancer that had spread to his lungs. He is now on his third round of chemotherapy.

The family has lost two beloved pets this year as well, their dog Diesel and their cat Oreo.

Last month, Jonathan’s dad Cliff Lake passed away.

“I am not sure how much more we can take,” said Cheryl.

At 12:45 p.m. on Oct. 13, Stoughton Tecumseh Fire and Rescue was dispatched to a fire that was located north on Lake’s property. The Lakes live eight kilometres south of Stoughton on a farm.

Boyd Charles, a neigh-

bour to the south, was the first to arrive, and said the fire spread quickly. It jumped to his land, and he managed to keep it under control.

According to Fire Chief Pat Slater, this should have been a small manageable fire and easily controlled, but due to the high winds it turned into a major operation.

Sixteen members from the department were on scene, along with Crescent

Point Energy personnel and water trucks.

As the fire grew, so did her fear of her home going up in flames. She quickly packed CDs that contained family pictures, along with some personal items and her beloved pets, and was ready to evacuate if needed.

Their home remained safe, but they lost a lot of equipment and the old truck that belonged to Jonathan’s dad, and many

other memorable items from the family farm.

During this time, Cheryl’s mom Lynn MacDougall and her sister Candice Martin were on their way from Prince Albert and Regina to give her the support she needed. The family stayed in Stoughton for the night.

The fire took eight hours to extinguish, and the cause is still undetermined.

As of Saturday after-

noon, a fire department member and the Lake family were keeping a close eye on the hotspots.

Slater said a contingency plan is in place in case of a flare up.

In the early hours of Monday morning, Jonathan awoke and checked out the east window. He saw a huge glow of orange.

The fire had engulfed two old barns on the north side of the property. Once again, their neighbour

Boyd Charles came with his tractor and bucket to push trees away so they would not ignite. Once again 911 was called and the Stoughton department was quick to respond.

The area where the fire is having issues is in an old corral where the manure has sat for a while. The same area received 40 cubes of water and it is still smoldering, and could do so for some time. It took another four hours to contain the second fire.

The Lake family is extremely thankful and grateful to the quick response of the Stoughton Tecumseh Fire Department, neighbours, Crescent Point Energy and the community for all the help and care.

The Stoughton Tecumseh Fire Department is thankful for all that helped with equipment and water trucks. Slater said, “It is extremely difficult to contain a fire in that much wind.”

A complete fire ban has been issued for the R.M. of Tecumseh and Slater said that Stoughton usually piggy backs that ban as well.

Luckily, the Lake family home was spared from fire damage,

Crossroads Electric is a new business in Stoughton

By Stephanie Zoer

Jeff Young and his wife Nancy moved back to the Stoughton area as this is where Young was born and raised on a farm south of town.

Last fall they purchased an acreage and this past spring Young decided to spread his wings and start his own business called Crossroads Electric.

Young attended the Stoughton Central School throughout his school years and graduated from there.

Once married, Young moved to Estevan to work at the mines, but he knew this was not what he wanted to do until his retirement.

Young always enjoyed electrical work and would help on family projects, so he decided

Provincial

By Gord Paulley

Last week the provincial government held an informal open house at Kenosee Lake to discuss

it was time to make it official.

He applied at Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Moose Jaw campus and began his apprenticeship under Bob’s Electric from Estevan.

To become a licensed electrician, it is a fouryear course. Each year requires two months of classroom work and 1,800 hours on the job.

There are four levels, with each year becoming more difficult and at the end of level four an interprovincial exam is written and passed to receive the red seal.

This red seal allows electricians to work across Canada, excluding Quebec. The red seal is from the Canadian Electrical Code Book.

According to Young, the rules across Canada are the same for elec-

their ecosystem-based management plan.

Representing and speaking on behalf of the government were senior park landscape ecologist

After Young received his red seal, he con-

Thuan Chu, grassland ecologist Dale Gross and park conservation officer Rob Stolz.

It was noted that 68 per cent of the forested area in Moose Mountain Provincial Park is considered to be mature or over ma-

tinued to work for Bob’s Electric in Estevan and remained there until this past March.

It was then that Crossroads Electric was born.

ture. There has not been a meaningful forest fire in the park since 1897. To assist with natural regeneration, prescribed burns or mechanical harvesting are being considered with additional tree planting thereafter.

Woody plant and bush encroachment continues to slowly affect the grasslands located in MMPP. Canada thistle is the park’s most invasive weed.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

The Carlyle RCMP is currently hiring for the position of Guard/Matron on a Casual Basis All qualifying candidates must pass the RCMP Security Clearance

Jeff Young CERTIFIED RED SEAL ELECTRICIAN

There are approximately 300 head of cattle that graze the park. The last survey of the actual moose and elk numbers was conducted in 2017 which showed a population of 1,100 elk and 800 moose.

The 2022 figures are estimated to be 1,000 and 200-300 respectively.

The dramatic decrease in the moose population is entirely because of increased hunting. The next aerial flight survey count is scheduled for the winter of 2023-24.

Jim Brown of Carlyle is the president of Moose Mountain Water Resource Management. He addressed the crowd and highlighted the present

dential work. He tackles all jobs whether they be large or small and also travels. He has done work as far as North Portal.

Young is happy to be back near his hometown and feels this was the right decision for him and his family.

At this time of year, he also helps his father Ed Young with harvest. The elder Young is also a council member for the RM of Tecumseh. Jeff Young does not mind jumping into the combine when he has time.

It is difficult in the fall, as dew sets in as soon as the sun sets, not leaving Jeff Young a lot of extra time to help out.

With winter around the corner, Young plans to do some renovations around the acreage, but only if he has the time.

water levels and beaver population.

“Water levels in the park have dramatically increased since the record low levels of 2009. The installation of a new culvert from Little Kenosee to the main lake in 2017 has helped with the flow of water,” he said.

“For the most part, the beaver population has been well controlled but still requires constant attention. In 2021, a $30 bounty per beaver resulted in 524 being trapped. We feel that by increasing the bounty to $50, that would help get more beavers harvested. However, the provincial government has discontinued their participation in this program, and we sorely need their assistance. Any individual or corporate donations are also welcome and greatly appreciated.”

Jeff Young believes it was a good move to start his own business called Crossroads Electric. Photo by Stephanie Zoer

Annette Lenouail and Iona Miller continue to enjoy driving school buses for Redvers after more than 40 years

By Gord Paulley

The public school system has seen a lot of changes in the past 40 years.

But one thing that hasn’t changed is the need to transport the rural student population to school. Annette Lenouail and Iona Miller have been driving school buses since the 1970s.

Lenouail is 77 years old. She and her husband Paul owned and operated an abattoir near Wauchope and were also well-known caterers in the surrounding area for decades. They exchanged residences with their grandson Korbin in 2020 and now live in Redvers.

Iona turns 80 years old on Oct. 31. She lived on the farm nine kilometres northwest of Redvers for many years and just moved to the town this summer.

Every school year has approximately 185 days and from September to June, these two women faithfully drive their routes. They are on the road at 7:15 a.m., travelling to the farthest farm for their first pickup of the day. The women then leave the school at 3:30 p.m., dropping off the closest students first. They return home around 4:45 and repeat the cycle daily.

Until this year, Lenouail operated the Wauchope run but has since been transferred to a Redvers route. Miller continues to do the Redvers north run and has done so for decades. Lenouail’s bus route is driven on gravel roads while Miller’s is on pavement only. Both must renew their Class 5S bus driver licences every five

years and take regular medicals and eye tests.

In all their years of driving, both have never been in an accident, which is a remarkable feat and something they are very proud of.

These “Golden Girls” were more than willing to share their stories.

“After all these years, I still enjoy my job and love my work,” said Lenouail. “I really get attached to my kids. Soon I will be driving the grandchildren of my very first riders.”

Miller fondly remembers one of her passengers.

“From Grade 1 to Grade 12, I picked up Jericho Rahul north of Redvers. He was an only child and Rahul and his family loved animals. He had a goat named Billy, a potbelly pig called Pork Chop, and a dog named Riker. For over a week, Jericho was very distressed as Billy had run away. I helped look for him on my route and they finally found him a week later.”

With larger farms and declining farm families, the bus routes and their supervisors have had to adapt. Both women have operated under the ownership of Wayne Bus Lines, Southeast Transport, Rilling Bus Lines and now First Student. In fact, the Lenouails once owned and operated four of their own. For Lenouail and Miller, their last new buses arrived in 2013 and presently they operate 24-passenger units.

The recent pandemic was hard on the students, the families and the bus drivers. Although the routes were closed for only a few months in 2020, masks always had

to be worn, both by students and drivers.

“On the cold days, it was really hard to drive”, said Lenouail. “With our masks on, our glasses kept fogging up. It was really a headache.”

While the pay is meagre, both women appreciate the regular income, although some sort of pension plan would be welcome. Weather is always a concern in the wintertime but their present supervisors at First Student always err on the side of caution. If the weather is poor, the routes are cancelled without question.

“It’s great to live and grow up with our children. Everyone has different personalities but often the looks and mannerisms are the same as their parents,” said Miller.

“With the invention of cell phones, the bus is a little quieter than it used to be. The young ones are still bubbly and chatty, but the older ones tend to keep to themselves,” added Lenouail.

Tanya Hjelmeland is the local administration officer-supervisor of First Student Canada. “Regarding Annette and Iona, I couldn’t ask for more dedicated, compassionate and loyal drivers. I love them like family.”

Paul and Annette Lenouail are the proud parents of four girls. They have 10 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. The great grandchildren range in age from one-month-old to 13 years old. They are Annette’s pride and joy.

Miller has a threelegged dog named Ruby and a baby-faced cat named Seventeen. These pets give her hours of company and enjoyment.

Of course, the question of “When are you going to finally retire?” had to

come up at the conclusion of the interview. The only response received were

two mischievous grins. Retirement isn’t in the cards, just yet.

Small business remains vital to communities

David Willberg Willberg’s World

In general, small business owners deserve our admiration.

After all, they have done something that so many of us want to do, but it is out of reach.

Who hasn’t dreamed of being an entrepreneur? We think about how great it would be to be our own boss, to employ other people, to create a company that would deliver an important product or service to the people, and to possibly even build a business that becomes much larger than we could imagine.

Of course, for most of us, it never advances beyond the dream or fantasy stage. It takes a certain type of person to be a successful small business owner. You need the money, the product knowledge, the people skills, the work ethic and the common sense to do it and do it well.

This week is Small Business Week in Canada. It’s an opportunity to reflect on a lot of things, including the impact that small businesses have on our communities, the obstacles that these entrepreneurs have overcome to succeed and even our favourite small businesses. (I know I have quite a few that I enjoy, and I hope you do, too). Here in Saskatchewan, most of the businesses that serve us are small businesses.

And you see their names in the community. They sponsor sports teams, community events, fundraisers and health-care initiatives. They’re often the first ones to commit to support a cause. And yes, they’re advertising in the local paper.

You’ll see their name plastered in so many ways in your community, but often they’ll make a contribution to a local cause with no expectation of recognition. They do it because they believe in the cause and they believe in community.

I don’t have an Amazon account. I doubt I ever will have anything to do with Amazon. I have no need for it. I’ve never thought “Wow, there’s something on Amazon I really need.” And it’s not just Amazon. I do very little shopping online. If I need something, I go to my local retailer.

I’ve never seen Amazon sponsor a team in minor baseball, or purchase a corporate table at a fundraiser, or bring a cultural event to our community. They’ve done nothing for us. So I don’t feel bad that I’ll likely never spend a dime with them.

But you know who has always been there for our communities? Small business owners.

We enjoy the meals at the restaurants, we purchase what we need from furniture and electronics stores, we buy the clothes from retailers, we seek professional services when needed and we turn to small businesses for their expertise when it comes to repairs for the home and o ffice.

So I’ll spend a little more money to shop at that local company as opposed to turning to Amazon, or heading to the big-box stores in Regina and waiting in line with the hordes for a bunch of purchases. Besides, with my needs, that trip to Regina isn’t going to be worth my time, e ff ort or expense.

So this week, let’s remember the value of the entrepreneur, especially in a community of this size. Let’s admire them for doing that which is out of reach for so many of us. Let’s celebrate their work ethic and resiliency.

After all, in Saskatchewan, communities rely so much on them.

Artist, adventurer, innovator: go for it

were positioned properly and shoulders were just right. One careful step after another, I inched my way across until getting safely back on solid ground.

As a child, I was part of a gymnastics club. Our classes began with a warmup and time on the big mat where we practiced front rolls, cartwheels, handsprings, back walkovers and such.

Then we would head to another apparatus to try a new set of skills. I liked jumping from the springboard to the pommel horse and I really liked doing simple swings on the uneven bars, but I dreaded, absolutely dreaded, the balance beam.

The first time I stood up on the beam I practically trembled. It felt so high off the ground and each time I leaned over to see how far away the floor was, our instructor would caution me to stand up straight, lift my head, and keep my eyes focused on a spot on the wall opposite us.

With shaky legs I would begin the journey down the narrow beam listening to words of coaching to ensure arms

Keeping my balance required total concentration. I couldn’t be doing a bunch of other things. My focus was on what was happening with my knees, arms and head because we couldn’t move onto the next apparatus until we had done what was expected on this one.

Different facets of life make up our day-to-day and week-to-week responsibilities and activities, all of which make demands on our time. They often carry the labels of professional life, family life, personal life, physical life, emotional life, intellectual life and spiritual life. For a long time now, we’ve been told that we need to find balance with these various pieces, and to that end countless books, seminars, programs and podcasts tell us how to do it.

Experts and authors with their charts and graphs teach us how to divide up our time so the right percentage goes toward the correct piece of the overall pie. We’re told that when we do all that our lives will be in balance.

Except, of course, that’s rarely how it works. Surprises, both

welcome and not, pop up unexpectedly, areas blur into one another, and some facets require more attention than others at various stages of life. But looking at how we budget the hours we have each day, the question remains: how come we often find ourselves saying, ‘I don’t have time for that’?

Think about how many people are harbouring a desire to learn to paint, to read more books, to design a room, to climb a peak, to write a song or restore a vehicle. Some want to start a business, change careers, publish a book or train for a triathlon. We may have great desire, but we also need to invest the time to make it happen. Far too often we let other things consume the bulk of our attention and it’s difficult to carve out space to make those other interests and passions come to be.

Instead of trying to find some sort of balance between everything, perhaps we could instead be looking for a more attainable sense of rhythm between it all. A bit of give and take. Stop and go. Setting aside one activity for another rather than trying to keep a laundry list of plates spinning at the same time.

Making sure we are allowing room for rest, creativity and pursuing

new challenges. Perhaps it’s not so much a lack of time as it is wondering how to make that first shaky move.

To be successful on the balance beam we needed to climb up and take those first timid steps. We couldn’t be thinking about the mat or the bars or the springboard. That simply wouldn’t work. But if we wanted to learn new and different skills in the gym, we had to go and spend time on another apparatus. Dreaming about it wasn’t enough. Hoping it might happen would have gotten us nowhere. We needed to get over there and do it.

Pursuing one activity requires setting aside another, if only on a temporary basis. We need to dedicate the time needed, not by trying to slice up the pie into tinier slivers, but by reorienting our goals and giving time to that which will allow us to become the artists, adventurers and innovators we are hoping to be. When we do that, we will find that what’s represented by all the other graphs and charts will be all the more enjoyable.

When it comes to the beam, budget or cheque book we can rightly talk about balance, but when it comes to the rest, let’s make it more about trailblazing. That’s my outlook.

returns for special RM project

the project is complete.

The ornamental grass and shrubs adorn the front of the building, which is

nished in pale yellow with brick along the bottom to give a beautiful roadside appeal.

The front parking lot is completely paved with an entrance on the west and north side of the building

for easy access, while allowing for plenty of parking space.

The inside consists of large, spacious rooms with a large bright foyer.

On Oct. 5, Reeve Zandra Slater and council held their first meeting in the new council chambers.

A luncheon was held on Oct. 14 to welcome every-

one to the new building, including all staff, the reeve, council members and Colin Haus, PCL construction manager for special projects, and Sean Tulloch, the project manager.

According to Slater, an open house will be held at a later date, as the move to the new building is still in progress.

The RM of Tecumseh building project has been completed.

PCL’s special projects team was awarded the job and they were happy to do so, as the first job they ever did was completed near Stoughton 116 years ago.

In 1906, Poole Construction was established and founded by Ernie Poole when he erected a farmhouse just north of Stoughton.

When E.E. Poole General Contractor hung a sign on his office in Stoughton, he had no idea how his

company would grow to the size it is today.

In 1977, an employee ownership program was implemented, and the company name would now be PCL Construction. They have 30 offices across the globe and employ 9,500 people. It is the largest general contractor in Canada.

The RM of Tecumseh once again returned the builders to their roots with the new construction, which began in August 2021. It is located at the north end of Stoughton on Government Road.

New office space is what PCL Special Projects does

the best, but this build was going to hold a lot of history for both the area and PCL.

With 5,000 square feet of office space, the single story, framed building will house offices, a mailroom, meeting rooms, storage space and an archives room.

PCL made sure to engage in hiring local trades to help with the build. These trades came from Arcola, Weyburn, Estevan and Milestone areas. They feel it is important to include local trades with such an important build and to be part of such a community project.

Cornerstone school board salutes a long-time trustee

A small container holding a cluster of yellow mum flowers was placed on the South East Cornerstone Public School Division’s conference room table Oct. 12, in front of the chair that would have been occupied by vice-chairwoman Carol Flynn.

The bouquet commemorated the recent death of the long-time trustee, who had represented Subdivision 1 schools in the communities of Moosomin, Wapella and Rocanville.

Flynn’s passing was especially difficult for Cornerstone’s chairwoman Audrey Trombley, who fought back tears as she explained how she and Flynn had been able to work as a tandem for nearly two decades in a variety of school governing roles.

“I relied on her so much,” Trombley said, glancing toward the quiet floral tribute on the table to her left. “She was so supportive when I was going through my own issues,” she added, referring to her health-related inflictions that had taken her away from the conference room for a couple of months prior.

Later, during the open portion of the Oct. 12 meeting, Trombley noted how Flynn had been a strong advocate for education locally, regionally and provincially over the years, beginning in 1994. Flynn held several additional leadership roles at the provincial level with the Saskatchewan School Boards Association, as well as with the district school

boards prior to the amalgamation of school districts into regional divisions.

“It is hard to believe and accept the fact she is gone,” Trombley said. “She was a beautiful person.”

Estevan trustee Kevin Keating also spoke, noting how Flynn’s funeral was so appropriate insofar as it included fitting musical tributes.

“She will be missed,” he added.

Later in the meeting, Whitney Paul-Joseph, president of the South East Cornerstone Teachers’ Association, also mentioned Flynn before Paul-Joseph’s scheduled presentation, saying that Flynn “was an advocate for teachers.”

Trombley asked for a minute of silence in remembrance before proceeding with the regular board agenda.

Power washing company can serve businesses and homes

By Gord Paulley

Travis Van Meer was looking at a way to supplement his income and this spring decided to purchase a mobile power washer and open Van Meer Power Washing.

Included is a pair of 240-gallon totes which are used for hauling water.

Together with a flatdeck trailer, a power generator, soaps, bleach, and various power wands and other attachments, he has been operating Van Meer Power Washing since May.

Power washing is a way to clean the assets on a property. Vinyl siding, decks, driveways, shop floors, and farm equipment can be cleaned

within hours. Many residences have white vinyl siding which over time becomes discoloured, dirty and covered with stains, dust and cobwebs.

Using the proper combination of bleach and soap, a power washed home can look brand new again.

Van Meer has been extremely pleased at how his first year of power washing has gone.

“Frankly, I’ve been busier than expected,” he said. “I really like hauling and using Carlyle water wherever I go. It doesn’t spot up and I never have to wipe off the windows. I never use the customer’s water from their own taps.”

Van Meer takes pride in his work and is very

careful about what water pressure he uses. The strength and texture of some sidings and surfaces are different than others and he mixes the proper strength of bleaches and soaps and applies the proper pressure.

The Van Meer Power Washing unit is entirely mobile. He is more than willing to travel and covers all southeast Saskatchewan.

Van Meer lives on an acreage 10 kilometres northeast of Carlyle. He has been a field operator for Kingston Midstream the past 11 years. He has also been a volunteer member of Carlyle & RM 63 Fire and Rescue for 16 years and has been a deputy fire chief for the past six.

Van Meer is 37 years old and married to Kim,

who is employed at the Arcola Health Centre. They have two children. Daughter Ember is four

Thank You

The family and extended family of Jack (Jackie) Daku, who passed away October 1st, 2022, feel very blessed by the friends and relatives, who held us in their thoughts and prayers before, and at the time of our loss, and after. We are grateful for many phone calls, beautiful cards, heartfelt texts as well as flowers, gifts of food and acts of kindness. The time many of you took to visit Jack, and to share with us before and after his passing, were of great comfort.

We especially are thankful for the nursing and medical teams of the Kipling, Moosomin, and Regina General hospitals. His doctor in Regina, Dr. Tsang, always took the time to answer his questions, to give options, and to talk with the family. Her presence was calming at a difficult time. We especially thank the nursing team who were so supportive and compassionate in his final hours.

October 8th, The Bekevar Country Church, prepaired by the Heritage committee, was filled with friends and family. Thanks to the officiant, Marlene Tarr, and the pall bearers, all friends of Jack’s. Thanks also to Don and Lois Toth for the lovely music they provided. God bless you all who attended and those who were there in spirit!

Our thanks also to the committee who prepared and served the lunch. With gratitude, His family

and son Logan is two.

Van Meer Power Washing has its own Facebook Page. He can

be reached at 306-5778410. All calls and texts are returned promptly and professionally.

Travis Van Meer is the sole proprietor of Van Meer Power Washing.

Creative Tables hosts a large fundraiser

By Stephanie Zoer

Darlene Olsen once again outdid herself with the Creative Tables fundraiser held on Oct. 13 at the Arcola Prairie Place Complex.

Olsen is an ambassador for the Look Good, Feel Good program for breast cancer survivors, which holds workshops in Regina.

Creative Tables is in its 13th year. Each table holds eight to 10 guests including the host. The tables may be purchased by a company or be sold individually by the table holder.

Table decorations ranged from Christmas gnomes to witches and Tupperware, whatever the imagination could produce.

Olsen was the MC for the event and kept the crowd entertained throughout the night with her witty sense of humour.

An array of donations lined the wall for a silent auction, with well over 70 items to choose from.

As the evening progressed and everyone

was seated, Shannon Shakatko was asked to say grace.

Steven and Alison Massel from Lampman prepared the meal of chicken and salads,

while the host served her guests.

Once supper was finished, it was time to hear from the guests of honour.

Tammie Riddell and Sherry Zacharias are both breast cancer survivors.

Zacharias is a retired schoolteacher and Riddell is a substitute teacher. Both are from the Carlyle area.

They shared their journey of breast cancer, and how each story is different. They spoke about their treatment,

and the support they received through family and friends and the Look Good, Feel Good program, and how the initiative helped them get through the tough times. They are now lifelong friends.

Their full story is in a previous edition of the Observer.

Nancy Parker is also a cancer survivor. She had ovarian cancer and shared her story with the crowd.

Parker is also a schoolteacher and very much missed her job during her

illness, but her co-workers made sure to keep her in the loop during her journey. Friends took time off work to drive her to her treatments, or they cooked and delivered meals to her home. During her treatment, she became friends with women across Canada who have gone down the same path.

Parker reminded people not to ignore their body and to know the changes, as it might be that change which is telling you something. At

the time she said she did not get it, but she understands it now.

She is grateful for the support she received through family and friends, as she said it is a long journey to come back from.

Sunita Rebello from Mississauga, Ont., was also a guest speaker. Rebello is the executive assistant to Mary Kay Cosmetics Canada and spoke on the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation (MKACF). Mary Kay is also an advocate for domestic abuse and

has donated thousands of dollars to help woman in need.

The MKACF is part of the Look Good, Feel Better program offering products that may be used by cancer-stricken women. All the products used at the LGFG are at no charge to the women.

It gives women a chance to feel pretty again. They are shown how to apply the makeup, as often they have lost their eyebrows and eyelashes during treatment. They also can talk to women that have gone through the same thing as them.

Another speaker was Susan Larkin, the vice-president for the Look Good, Feel Good programs marketing. She flew in from Toronto.

She spoke about the LGFG program and how it has helped thousands of women across Canada at their 114 locations.

Larkin said she could feel the sense of community, connection, and support in the room, and that this is exactly what their volunteers provide in the workshops.

Larkin thanked Olsen for her continued support for the cause and also for everyone who came and supported Creative Tables.

She hopes to return next year but wishes to be at the one of the tables in which people dressed up in crazy outfits.

The Arcola Optimist Club was on hand working the bar and tending to the thirsty crowd.

Olsen did not have a total from the event, but said it was an extremely successful evening.

Breast cancer can be scar y wordsBreast cancer can be scary words

By Stephanie Zoer

Finding out from her doctor that she had breast cancer was not something Virginia Deren wanted to hear.

Deren has lived in Stoughton since 1983 and works at the New Hope Pharmasave. She has collaborated with several different owners there since 1987.

She always knew she would be at a higher risk for breast cancer, with her sister and aunt having dealt with the same issues.

Deren had gone for her regular mammogram, but it was Deren who detected the lump. In 2013 she received the news that nobody wants to hear.

She was told she had invasive ductal carcinoma. This is a cancer that attaches to the lining of the milk ducts and invades breast tissue.

A Stage 1, Grade 3 cancer was found and six weeks later Deren was scheduled for a double mastectomy. Although the cancer was detected only in the one breast, she was a candidate for a double mastectomy due to the elevated risk.

Now it was time to heal and start her chemotherapy treatments. She only felt sick after the first session and felt pretty well for the rest.

A brief time after treatment started, she noticed her hair falling out by the hands full. It was at this time she phoned one of the local hairdressers to shave her head. She wore a wig that was so natural to her own hair that close friends did not even notice.

“Everyone is different and deals with it in many ways,” she said.

Deren is assessed every six months through bloodwork, and it is something that is never to far from her mind.

Judy Graham lives a block and a half away from Deren’s home and has lived in Stoughton her whole life. At the time she did not know that she would also be diagnosed with breast cancer.

The two women have known each other for years, and Graham too, detected the lump herself in October 2020, right in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

Even with COVID in full force, surgery did not take long to book and it was scheduled for January 2021.

Graham had a lumpectomy performed, which removes the cancerous lump, along with some healthy tissue that surrounds the spot. She had Stage 2 cancer, and it was aggressive.

After six to eight weeks of healing, chemotherapy would begin. She received three rounds, once a month, and then 15 treatments of radiation.

Graham explained that the radiation feels like a bad sunburn. She too, began to lose her hair, and called a local hairdresser to shave the rest. Graham decided to go about without a wig.

Graham’s daughter has also struggled

with breast cancer as did a good friend 23 years ago. Both are doing well.

Both women said that the Allan Blair Cancer Clinic in Regina is a fabulous place. They are caring and make one feel especially important.

They both agreed that early detection is important, and they said to not skip your scheduled appointment and to begin early detection if it runs in the family.

“Cancer is not any fun, but you have to deal with it,” said Graham. “You need to live and let live.”

These two friends are now cancer free, but continue to be evaluated, and will remain positive and happy, living each day to its fullest.

New physical therapist comes to Arcola

By Stephanie Zoer

When Joanne Almey’s husband Matthew took the general manager’s position at the Arcola Co-op gas bar, she knew that she would have to move in the near future with her daughter Emily.

Matthew began his new position in May and Joanne Almey would move out in August with their daughter.

Almey was raised on a farm near Holland, Man. Her parents still remain there.

She has always enjoyed working with people and seen how physical therapy helped her family.

In 2009 she received her degree for a bachelor of medical rehabilitation –physical therapy at the University of Manitoba.

Almey began to work for Treherne Physiotherapy in Treherne, Man., and was the sole physiotherapist there, but worked for a group of clinics. She remained there until her move to Saskatchewan.

Now, with her husband taking a position in Arcola, she too would have to move her business.

Almey’s licence is credited across Canada, but there are still rules to follow here in Saskatchewan. She had to apply to the College

of Saskatchewan for a few different requirements.

It is always a continuing education, explained Almey. She takes courses regularly for up-to-date techniques.

Now that most things are in place, her doors opened for business on Oct. 11, in Arcola with her new business Horizon Physiotherapy. She is still waiting for a few items but can manage without for now.

Her practice includes acupuncture, treatments for jaw pain and dysfunction known as temporomandibular joint. She also helps with cancer recovery and rehabilitation,

pre- and post-surgical treatment and also help with long haul COVID and insurance issues.

Also, at the new practice Laurie McLaren will join Almey as a registered massage therapist.

Almey also has a 10-yearold daughter. Although she was sad to leave her friends, Emily is extremely outgoing and has made several friends and plans to join the Arcola Figure Skating Club.

With her first week at her new business in the books, Almey feels it was a wonderful week.

She hopes to build her cliental and enjoy her new home and life in Arcola.

Sugar intake and metabolic health – what does it mean and why do we care?

By Dr. Wendy Davis

Metabolic health describes how well our body produces and uses energy. Every one of the trillions of cells in our bodies is a small power plant that converts fuel, usually glucose or fat, to energy the body can use (typically ATP).

When our cells cannot run those processes efficiently, it can lead to any number of conditions.

In the brain, poor metabolic health can contribute to decreased mental acuity (brain fog), anxiety or Alzheimer’s disease. In the blood vessels, it can contribute to microvascular disease, like erectile dys-

function and retinopathy, and kidney disease; and cardiovascular disease, like heart attacks and strokes. In the liver, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

In many cells, cancer, which is linked to poor metabolic health. Metabolic dysfunction can lead to obesity by interfering with our body’s fat storage and burning capabilities.

But poor metabolic health doesn’t always manifest in overt cardio-metabolic diseases. We can also feel it in pain points and symptoms of everyday life: fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, lack of exercise endurance, infertility, balding, acne, chronic pain, increased appetite,

hormonal imbalances, digestive problems, etc.

Here are a couple of scary stats:

•More than a third of North American adults have pre-diabetes. Of those, more than 84 per cent don’t know they have it. However, pre-diabetes alone increases the risk of stroke, heart disease and Alzheimer’s.

•There are 73.6 per cent of North Americans who are overweight or obese. That is pretty much three-quarters of us, a dreadful stat. Rates of obesity have tripled since the 1970s. Researchers are still studying the underlying mechanisms. But we know that obesity is linked to insulin resistance, likely by way of excess fat that inhibits proper signalling as well as fat tissue producing inflam-

matory responses.

There are several contributing factors, but the inspiring (and frustrating) fact is that all of them are within our control.

Why is this happening?

•Chronic over-nutrition or over-eating broadly refers to the standard hypercaloric (and often, high-carbohydrate) diets many people now eat. Those can coexist with the double burden of malnutrition. In other words, someone can be obese or overweight but still not get proper nutrition. We are overfed and undernourished.

•We eat nearly 10 times more sugar per day than we did 100 years ago. Sugar stimulates the pancreas to make insulin (the hormone that aids cells in glucose up-

take). But cells can eventually become unresponsive to insulin. Insulin resistance is at the core of many chronic diseases.

Are you depressed yet?

Not to worry as I will be covering so many lifestyle, diet and supplements hacks in

my 21-Day sugar detox program. By the end of the three weeks you will have learned how to eat a metabolically healthy diet, understand how certain dietary, lifestyle and supplements can help or hinder your progress and I promise you’ll feel better.

Maryfield Sunrise Villa

Submitted by Betty Walker

We started off the beautiful fall days of weather by having card Bingo.

One night brought us a big crowd of friends from the Maryfleld Associated Gospel Chapel church. The message and singing were very meaningful and enjoyable.

We had our tenants’ meeting, the first one since June.

We have a beautiful quilt made by Marion Husband that we are raffling off

Tickets are $5 each and can be purchased from any resident or staff member.

Weather has taken a much cooler feel and leaves are falling with the winds.

We had our usual exercises, popcorn and a movie.

Thanksgiving is over now and we had a delicious turkey meal. The weather was lovely so some went out with families or friends.

The Kola Mennonite Church group came with music and a message. We had Mary and her guitar and a fun sing along.

We got updated on our booster and last week flew by.

Welcome to our new resident, Alice Fidelak. We hope you enjoy your stay with your new Villa family.

Sunday evening brought us the Kola church for an hour of hymns and a message. Thank you all for coming making our days brighter.

Moose Mountain Karate Club holds bottle drive

By Gord Paulley

This past Saturday, the Moose Mountain Karate Club held their annual bottle drive in Carlyle.

Funds raised are used to help the club offset various operating expenses incurred during the year. In addition, a small percentage that is raised is put towards a travel fund for those who helped with the drive. Many participate in out-of-province tournaments and these funds help cover their costs.

In 2020, the club moved into its new dojo located just north of Highway 13 beside Living Skies Crossfit. A dojo is a hall or place for immersive learning or meditation. The term literally means Place of the Way in Japanese.

Jayson Humphries

is the head sensei. He has a third-degree black belt and was one of five successors to longtime head sensei Rathe Mokelky from over a decade ago. Humphries is the only one that remains active in the club.

The annual bottle drive takes place every October following the Thanksgiving weekend.

Juanita Wolfe is a member of the Moose Mountain Karate Club and is a brown belt sempei.

“We have a strong club and meet every Tuesday night at the dojo. Our Just for Class Kicks class is for ages five to seven and runs from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Everyone else follows with the next class from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. We have over 30 members in our club. Everyone is more than welcome to stop in and see what we have to offer.”

Provincial cross-country competitors

Gordon F. Kells High School athletes travelled to Wapiti Valley north of Melfort to represent the school and the South East District Athletics Association at provincial cross-country on Oct. 15. The athletes battled a tough course, cold weather, top notch competition and injuries. Each division had a large number of runners. GFK athletes as a team placed fifth in the province in the 3A category. Competing were, back row, Keltin Slykhuis, Mitch Himmelsapch, Sawyer Tomaszewski and Jaden Fischer; front row, Avory Fisher and Reinne Lafiguera.

PLACING AN AD

Charles Harvey Goddard, devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather of Wordsworth SK passed away peacefully Oct. 1, 2022, at the age of 89. Irene, his loving wife of 64 years was by his side.

Born in July of 1933 Charlie, as he was referred to lovingly by his siblings, is survived by his wife, Irene, and their two sons, Warren, and Chad. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews, and sisters Mabel (Joyce), Olive, and Violet. Charles was predeceased by his daughter Shannon, his parents Oscar and Mabel Goddard, and siblings Richard, Frank (Irving), Robert, Mildred, Calvin, and Dorothy (Mae).

Chucks interests and hobbies kept him active all year long. Golfing with friends and family was his passion but he could always be found curling or bowling in the off season. Over the years his enjoyment for hunting with his military buddies may have waned but he remained an avid fisherman long into his retirement. The camaraderie and long-lasting friendships this provided was very important to him.

Charles joined the RCAF in 1954 and served proudly for 23 1/2 years as an Aviation Electronics Technician keeping our military aircraft flying safely. He parlayed this significant skillset into another 13 years with Air Canada specializing in the A320Airbus until he retired in 1993.

Charles’ true legacy will be his exuberance for life and his love and devotion to all his family and friends.

A private service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Cancer research charity of your choosing.

Vibrance Beauty Lounge opens in Arcola

By Stephanie Zoer

Taylor Osadchuk always had a knack for doing hair and often would style her friends’ hair in high school.

After graduating from high school, Osadchuk went to Saskatoon to attend MC College to become a hairdresser.

The course would run from January to October, requiring 1,500 hours of time. Through her dedication, Osadchuk finished two months early and received the attendance award. She would often attend on the weekends to get her hours in.

After graduating from college in 2018, she became employed by Colour Me Crazy, and remained there until the doors closed in September.

Osadchuk had to decide what her future plans would be, and after a week of deep thought, she decided to open her own lounge.

Her new shop opened on Oct. 4. She chose Arcola as it has limited hairstylists and she already had a lengthy list of cliental.

The crisp, clean place has more to offer than haircuts. Osadchuk also

does lash extensions, and works not only in Arcola but in Wawota and Alameda as well.

She attended External Beauty in Winnipeg for a four-day training course on cryolipolysis, which was one-on-one training.

Cryolipolysis is a treatment where a membrane is wrapped around the area that needs work, then a vacuum is placed to work the fat cells. They are reduced and disposed through the body naturally. It is a non-invasive way to reduce fat.

With much research, Osadchuk decided on this method, which has

much more detail, as no one in the local area did cryolipolysis.

The new lounge has several rooms. One belongs to Jenna Rae Cosmetics. She performs teeth whitening, permanent makeup and sunless tanning.

It is Osadchuk’s hope to offer a one-stop place to get treated like a queen. She has room for a nail technician and pedicures, and full body waxing.

Although renovations are not complete, she is open for business and says she is loving her new place.
