Carlyle sports a new sign recognizing six people

By Gord Paulley A new sign honouring those from Carlyle has been erected just beside the Carlyle Curling Club/ Golf Club parking lot.

Six local talents have been selected for their dedication and excellence in their field. The sign is 10 feet high and 24 feet wide, and it can be viewed when entering Carlyle from the east on Highway 13.

A previous sign was erected in 2002 featuring the pictures of Jim McKenzie and Brenden Morrow, two Carlyle hockey products who went on to play in the NHL. It commemorated the success of a series of fundraising golf tournaments from 1999-2004 that generated $150,000 for recreation facilities in the community.

Over the past twenty years, the original sign had decayed and was desperately needing an upgrade.

Lorrie Lequyer, who was part of the original fundraising committee, decided to do something about it and got the wheels in motion to construct a new sign.

A new sign at the east entrance of Carlyle along Highway 13 pays tribute to a number of people from the town.

Photo by Gord Paulley “The pictures were in dire need of repair and required replacement.

We received suggestions to add more names and pictures and our selection committee decided on six.”

Joining McKenzie are brothers Cale and Haydn

Fleury, who have both played in the NHL, local athlete Carter Morris, and auctioneer Ward Cutler.

McKenzie, 53, is the son of Larry and Myrna McKenzie. McKenzie played for 15 seasons in the NHL and won the Stanley Cup

in 2002-03 with the New Jersey Devils. He is now scouting for the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights.

“I am humbled and honoured to be a part of the group on this sign,” said McKenzie. “Growing up in Carlyle had a profound im-

pact on me and my career.

But I don’t remember getting old.”

Morrow, 43, is the son of Dick and Lucille Morrow. He played 991 games in the NHL, the majority of which were with the Dallas Stars. He won a gold med-

al with Team Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver.

Cutler is a world-renowned auctioneer and is the son of Barb and the late Gord Cutler. For 25 consecutive years, he has been the auctioneer at the Carlyle District Lions Club’s annual supper and auction.

“I am totally honoured to have my picture put in place alongside some great homegrown talent. When anyone asks, ‘Where you from?’ my answer is always the same. I own a house in Virden, Manitoba but my home is Carlyle, Saskatchewan. And I am very proud of home.”

Hadyn and Cale Fleury are the sons of John and Sandra, and both are defencemen who have played the NHL. Hadyn, 26, was a first-round draft pick of the Carolina Hurricanes in 2014 and has played 219 games in the NHL. He is now with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Cale, 23, was drafted in 2017 and has played 50 games in the NHL with both the Montreal Canadiens and now the Seattle Kraken.

Successful night for Bromantics’ Halloween Dance

By Stephanie Zoer

On Oct. 21, the Bromantics were finally able to make it to the Arcola Prairie Place Complex.

The group originally was scheduled to perform this past spring, but due to one of the members getting ill, the band was unable to fulfill their commitment and had to cancel at the last minute.

So, to make it right, the Carlyle District Lions Club brought them to the family Halloween bash, and the weather proved to be good for witches and goblins to come out for the night.

Tim Sedor, the co-ordin-

ator of the event, said it was a successful night. There were a lot of other events taking place the same night, so they were pretty happy with the outcome, and everyone was having a fun time.

Kentucky Fried Chicken was served for supper. Many families came in their Halloween dress, with around 30 kids attending. Super Mario and Snow White even attended the special night.

The Bromantics usually sing 50s and 60s songs but included many of their own tunes. They also like to get the crowd involved and do not play their music overly loud, so one can still talk to their neighbours.

Sedor said the kids thoroughly enjoyed the night and kept the dance floor filled, while the Bromantics kept the tunes flowing throughout the night.

Prizes were given for best costumes, which went to Candy Bye and Bertha Isleifson.

The colourful crowd danced the night away, while others sat on the sideline and socialized.

The next big event for the club will be held in the spring. There will be a new format for the supper and auction which will be held in Carlyle. With the new format, they are hoping for an improved event.

has recently competed in both a Canadian All Abilities Golf Championship (2021) and a Paralympic Table Tennis Championship (2022).

“I am so honoured to be included on the sign and to be one of the faces of this town,” said Morrison.

Lequyer has been extremely pleased at how everything has come together.

“We really wish to

thank the Town of Carlyle for jumping on board with this project,” she said. “Duncan Brown deserves a huge pat on the back for all his work. We were able to use his airplane hangar for painting the structure and hanging the pictures. A big thank-you to Dennis Feduk, Lois Paul and Mike Makelki for helping with the painting and construction. Dana Brown of Amped Weld-

ing did a great job of framing and welding and of course my employer Top Dog Promotions for providing me with the resources needed. And I can’t forget thanking the family members and the Dallas Stars for supplying us with these incredibly clear photographs, and BK Creations for the design and production of the panels.”

The refurbished sign is not yet finished. The top

portion must be added with the caption reading “Carlyle, Proud Home of …” and will be completed next spring.

Concluded Lequyer, “By June of 2023, we would like to honour the new sign with a formal christening, celebration, and who knows, perhaps another golf tournament for old times’ sake. Hopefully those that are being recognized can be all in attendance that day.”

Fundraiser generates big funds in Lampman

By David Willberg The After Harvest Party fundraiser in Lampman on Oct. 22 allowed the Lampman recreation board to surpass its fundraising goal for a new ice plant at the town’s community complex.

The event was held on Oct. 22 at the Lampman School gymnasium. It featured a live auction led by Ritchie Bros.

Auctioneers, a silent auction that had dozens of items, a catered supper, and live music by the Uncoolas.

Former NHL enforcer Stu Grimson was

the guest speaker and prominent Saskatchewan broadcaster Rod Pedersen was the MC. “To say it went amazing would be an understatement, it was incredible, more than we ever imagined,” said Lampman recreation director Brittany Sutherland. “Our community came together, and everyone had so much fun. The food was yummy, the speakers were great, and Ritchie Brothers Auctioneers were fantastic and helped up surpass our fundraising goal.”

Guest speaker Stu Grimson, left, and Blake Fornwald - a Lampman recreation board member and RM of Browning Councillor - with a Derrick Pouliot jersey that was auctioned off.

Wawota weekly happenings Submitted by Myrna Olson The Wawota United Church was treated to a musical ensemble before church last Sunday. The service was a tribute to music and its place in our worship. Throughout the service, we sang 22 songs.

I visited with another Ukrainian family who has relocated to Canada last week. They are Serhii Klimov and his wife Oksana Klimova. They live in a suite at the senior apartments. They have a grown son in Toronto.

Congratulations to all those responsible for the ever-popular Haunted House at the Wawota Hotel.

The Wawota Public Library Book Club met at the Wawota Village Inn on Oct 24. They discussed their latest book, The Education of Augie Merasty by Auguste Merasty and David Carpenter. It was an insight into residential schools.

Susan Davidson has returned home after a two-week trip to Kingston, N.S. She visited with sister Trudy and Ed Miller.

Sympathy to the family and friends of Doug Linder. He passed away on Oct. 15 at the age of 84 years. He leaves his wife Elsie and sons Terry (Peggy) and Kevin (Marnie) and their families.

He was a son to Clarence

and Mary Linder and a brother to Marj, Josie, Phil (all deceased) and Reg. A funeral will be planned in the future.

Visiting with Shirley Corkish were Jeff Corkish, Owen and Mason from Cottage Grove, Minn. They were here for their annual hunting.

Betty Walker who has spent the last few years as a resident of the Sunrise Villa in Maryfield, is now a resident of Deer View Lodge in Wawota.

A new business has opened in Wawanesa, Man., with the grand opening on Nov. 5. It is Beauty.by.hanna and the proud owner is Hanna Johnson from Wawota.

Congratulations to her.

it for $41,000 over five years.

The other large item was a pump jack donated by Grimes Sales & Service (2020), which was sold to an undisclosed bidder for $35,000.

“This was the first big fundraiser and gathering we had been able to host for years,” said Sutherland. “I think everyone in the community was eager to have a good time and support the worthy cause. The auctions were very competitive … yet friendly.”

A total of 65 items were available in the silent auction and eight could be had in the live auction.

“We also had great success auctioning off the order to eat, always a crowd favourite at our small-town fundraisers,” said Sutherland.

Pederson and Grimson did a great job of entertaining the audience, Sutherland said.

Grimson, who played 729 NHL games for seven different NHL organizations and amassed 2,113 penalty minutes while serving as an enforcer, reflected on his career and the people he encountered.

“They were very entertaining, we loved hearing all their stories

WE’RE YOUR PUZZLE AND GAMES HEADQUARTERS

[and] would definitely recommend having them at an event,” said Sutherland.

Pederson is the host of the Rod Pedersen Show. He is a former play-by-play announcer for the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Regina Pats.

“Rod, being from Milestone, really understood the crowd. He is very genuine, comical and full of wit,” said Sutherland.

“Stu was at one time a force to be reckoned with in the NHL. He has a kind, gentle demeanour with a strong towering presence. He told stories of what it was like being an enforcer in the NHL, the good, the bad and the ugly. Together they were able to give the crowd an inside look at what sports and community have in common and how one cannot survive without the other.”

The money raised will be directed towards the purchase of new thermosiphon ammonia ice plant, which is expected to add to the life span of the complex while lowering the operating costs.

While they don’t have final figure for the amount of money, Sutherland said the event raised well over $150,000, which ex-

ceeded their needs for the equipment.

“Our community needed to get together and start bringing that feeling back that COVID hindered,” said Dustin Ferguson, who is a town councillor and recreation board member.

“I saw so many people smiling, laughing and joking that night. Just enjoying being together as a community. The level of support and strength was felt by all and to myself as a councillor it said ‘this community wants to thrive.’”

“I was so excited to surpass our goal and know that our project would be covered, I knew that all the hard work and visions that the rec. board had put together had all paid off,” added Sutherland.

“But I think it was almost as rewarding seeing everyone together enjoying each other’s company.”

Sutherland said they are grateful to the sponsors, donors, volunteers and everyone who attended the event.

“Because we all came together our community had one heck of a successful event and was a night we will talk about for years.”

The ice is expected to be installed in mid-November.

“Each moment of a happy lover’s hour is worth an age of dull and common life.”

- Aphra Behn

War, what is it good for?

Stephanie Zoer Just a few words One thing my mom always said was, “You never want to live through a war, and always honour those who fought for your freedom.”

My mom and dad lived through the Second World War in the Netherlands when the Germans invaded Holland.

Mom was 15 years old, and Dad was 18; at this time they had not met.

My dad did not speak often about the war as he ended up in a German concentration camp. The few stories he did tell us –and Dad always said those were the mild ones – would make your hair curl.

Mom talked about it more. She explained how they knew the sounds of the German vehicles and planes. How they would be terrified if one of those vehicles would slow down near their home.

She also told us of the German spy that lived next door, which they learned later, and they often wondered why the German vehicles were always so close.

The Germans rules were extremely strict, with all lights off by 6 p.m. and you best be home by that time as well. They would close the curtains tight and go to a back room with one candle so they could read or do some mending or sewing.

My mom became an excellent seamstress during those times as nothing went to waste. If an old trench coat was found, it was pulled apart and made into something they needed.

I cannot imagine what kind of fear that would be, and they lived like this for almost five years.

I cannot imagine being a teenager and being not allowed to go out and play games or visit with friends. My mom lost her teenage years.

They never would waste food, as they never knew when a soldier would come into their home and take it all. They also knew how to hide food well in their home.

Near the end of the war, the Germans knew time was running out, so they bombed the dikes, and at that time my mom lost everything, as they lived close to where the bombing happened.

One day the planes sounded differently, and this is when the Canadians came to the Netherlands to free them.

Canadian soldiers were treated with the utmost respect. They were fed and housed, even when there was extraordinarily little to go around.

When the war was finally over and Holland was liberated, the respect continued.

Each and every year we purchased poppies and went to the Remembrance Day service, clothed in our Sundays best.

I do not understand war. The purpose of destroying a country and destroying and killing the people in it, for control, for more power.

We do not know how lucky we have it here in Canada. I hear people complaining about the situation here with our government, but it is not a war.

We can still basically do what we want.

We can go to the grocery store and buy whatever we need, whenever we want. In my mom’s teenage years, they could not. They could not go to the store and just buy groceries. They were only allowed so much and at times, there was little to nothing on the shelves, so the bag of potatoes they had, would serve as their meal once again.

So go to the Remembrance Day services and stand up for the veterans and soldiers that keep you free. Buy a poppy or three and be proud to be a Canadian.

Polite people don’t talk about that?

Shelley Luedtke What is your reaction each year to the first signs of winter?

Are you like the child who claps their hands in delight at the thought of snowmen and sledding?

Do you grumble about shoveling sidewalks and scraping windows? Do you express thanksgiving for the precipitation?

As I let the dog out the morning we had snow, my first thought was not delight. Throughout the day, I was reminded how welcomed it was by many. While some grumbled about slush, others were smiling over the greatly needed moisture.

When I lived in another province, I listened to a radio station that would define good or bad summer days based on weather. If it was sunny and hot, it was a good day. Rain or anything else that would interrupt sun and sand activity was quickly labeled a bad day.

It’s as if they failed to recognize the importance of rain and cooler temperatures that were so necessary to the livelihood of many listeners who lived in the region. Certainly, we can use the weather as a factor in determining what makes a good day, but inherent in that is the question “good for whom?”

When you need something that is contrary to what others need, it can lead to a divide. Person A wants a mild winter and little snow and ice. Person B earns a living from the conditions provided by that very snow and ice.

Somebody will be happy while someone else feels the impact on their life.

What do we do when our needs are opposite from what the person next to us needs?

We can’t do much about the weather but there are things that can and do change based on what we advocate for and support. Or against.

Someone wishes for a change to the constitution. Someone else wishes for clauses to remain as they are. Some individuals want culture to shift to embrace a different viewpoint. Others want culture to stay as is to support specific values. We quickly find ourselves at odds with one another as we clamor for opposing points

of view. So what do we do? How do we deal with one another in response?

Etiquette experts long ago instructed that polite people do not bring up topics of religion, politics, sex or money in social conversations.

The list has lengthened over the years to include the food in front of you, noting changes in anyone’s looks, other’s possessions, occupations, or the clothing worn by those you are visiting with.

What’s left? Well, I suppose the weather, except that can obviously put us at odds as well.

I find it rather frustrating that the focus has been on the list of topics that should be avoided yet the most important word in that statement gets overlooked. Polite.

Polite people don’t talk about these issues. But isn’t that, in fact, the very problem?

The polite people aren’t talking about the most important things we are facing, and instead the conversation (if it can even be called that) is hijacked by those who are decidedly impolite. Those who use extreme language. Who yell the loudest. Those who seek to discredit, even humiliate, anyone who opposes them. Accusatory tones take center stage. Insults hurled.

Anger unleashed. It’s

getting us pretty much… nowhere.

There are many, many topics that spark intense debate and isn’t that the point? We should be able to talk about these issues. We must. They have a profound impact on our lives. But the conversations need to be allowed to be open and fair.

They should be discussions that rise above the rhetoric that is doing little but entrenching us. We do not move forward by staying silent or speaking superficially.

We need to talk. So let’s do it. Politely.

Do I feel my point of view has been all but silenced in some of these issues? You bet I do. But the response is not to start yelling back or being vicious, disrespectful or hurtful. The response is to understand that what I want and want you want may very well be in opposition but that should not make us enemies. It can’t. We need each other if we are going to deal with the tough things we are facing.

Those who can speak politely –please join the dialogue and have your say. As for those who can’t, your silence is the best thing you can add to the conversation. Polite people don’t talk about that? They should. That’s my outlook.

It’s Hunting Season

White Bear First Nations holds hunt and hide-tanning culture camp at Cannington Lake

By Gord Paulley White Bear First Nations Councillor Tanya Littlechief recently organized a five-day hunt and hide-tanning culture camp at Cannington Lake.

Students from the White Bear Education Complex participated, as did many other residents and elders.

The event was organized by Littlechief and members of the Kaniyasihk Culture Camp. It is known as the Cree Centre of Excellence and its headquarters is Ministikwan Lake, located 160 kilometres northwest of North Battleford.

Littlechief has been the chief organizer of this camp since 2013.

In attendance were Kevin Lewis, an assistant professor at the University of Saskatchewan and his sister Darla Campbell,

who is a licensed practical nurse. Also on hand was Garrick Schmidt, who until June had taught at White Bear. He is now a land-based educator for the camp and was also accompanied by his fiancée Meagan Anishinabie.

This hunting and tanning camp ran from Oct. 17-21. The camp was located on the east side of Cannington Lake, and the crew and participants utilized the beautiful mansion and surroundings that were purchased from the McCullough family many years ago.

The first day was very eventful. A large canvas teepee was erected in 15 minutes and used as lodging by some of the students. Two crews were sent out to hunt that early evening and both were successful with the team capturing an elk and a moose. Every day there-

Lewis has organized many of these camps which operate yearround. They can focus on hunting, fishing, trapping or even dog sledding.

“This week, the full moon is known as the ‘mating moon,’” he explained.

“We were pleased to be successful

Put the power of nature to work on your operation. And protect hunting opportunities into the future.

Game species need places to find food, water and shelter to thrive. Aspen bluffs, wetlands, and native and tame grassland provide critical habitat for Saskatchewan game. They also deliver big on-farm benefits in the form of pollinator services and boosts to field microclimate and soil health.

on the first day of our hunt.”

With the hunt starting on a positive note, processing and preparing the meat and hide became the week’s priority.

Students participated in skinning the animals and processing the meat. The hide was stretched and cleaned on a large canvass. The brains of the moose were slowly boiled on an open fire and used to tenderize the hide.

Along with the meat, nearly every part of the moose organs and appendages were cooked.

Moose soup was prepared and included its tongue and its nose. The camp utilized the food services of Christina Wasacase and Avery Standingready.

Mike Standingready was one of the two lead hunters and Elder Ivan Lonechild conducted a pipe ceremony. There were regular teachings

all day long as well as after dark around an open campfire. The camp had many visitors and up to 50 people attended one time.

Littlechief was extremely pleased at how the week went.

“When COVID-19 hit in 2020, everything was put on hold, and this really was a negative impact on the minds of the youth. They couldn’t do anything be it sports, culture camps, etcetera. So, we are very grateful to have the camps back at Cannington Lake.

“Teaching our youth our local history and traditions is always a good thing,” she said.

“The weather was great, and the students were keen and eager to learn the ways of our ancestors. All our instructors were knowledgeable and taught us a lot.

“A huge thank you to Vance [Big Eagle] and his crew for assisting us and going to check out the site. Also, thanks to Kyle Big Eagle for he was also there to help us absorb the daily teachings. He showed a lot of interest in learning and teaching Land Based to our youth.

“Everyone enjoyed themselves and a lot of students were very excited to see their previous land base teacher Garrick.

Some were a little upset that they didn’t get time to spend with him but will have another opportunity as another event is planned for 2023.”

Wawota Haunted Hotel a screaming success

By Stephanie Zoer

Wawota’s haunted hotel, held from Oct. 2830, was a scary success, according to Michelle Klein, one of the many organizers.

The unused portion of the Wawota Hotel, known as the community watering hole, is the place this carn-evil took place.

The haunted hotel began in Lynette Coffey’s garage. Kayla Porter and Danielle Dennis previously hosted the Movember fundraiser; together they produced the haunted house idea. They approached Barb from the hotel if they could use the unused portion and then it all started. The haunted hotel was born.

This was the seventh year for the haunted hotel, but for two years the

event was put on hold due to the COVID-19 regulations. Now they were eager to get the spook out of everyone.

The group, consisting of five members – Lynette Coffey, Kayla Porter, Kristen Murray, Andrea Smyth and Klein – had to make up for lost time.

Each member of the group has family involved, along with several other regulars who have been faithful in helping every year. According to Klein, it is what makes this event so much fun.

Twenty kids also take part in the event by helping and dressing up on the kids’ side, but once they hit a certain age, they move over to the adult’s side of horror.

It takes weeks of preparing for this one weekend, from lighting to

These two youngsters were eager to get through the haunted hotel with their guide. From left, Zoe and Steevie McMullen and Kayla Porter, one of the organizers. Photo

by Stephanie Zoer building to costumes. Of course, the scarier the better.

In 2019 over $10,000 was raised and returned into the community.

This year the proceeds will be donated to the Wawota Community Forum, Wawota Curling Rink and the Wawota Daycare.

On Oct. 28 and 29, the event began at 7 p.m.

They remained open until midnight or later to allow everyone a chance to go through the horrors.

“It is amazing and so scary, I loved it,” said Kimberley Moore.

“We had a blast. This is our first year and loved how interactive it was,” added Stephanie Leech.

Sunday was kids’ day.

The hotel was packed with children and parents waiting their turn, and there was the fresh smell of popcorn.

Eager kids waited in line for a chance to go through the tamer version of the haunted hotel.

If one was faint at

heart, they might haved toured the kids’ day, as adults’ night had a surprise around every corner for the thrill seekers.

No photo taking is allowed inside the house, as they did not want anyone to give away the horrors that laid in wait for the next victim.

The three-day event had people screaming, exactly what the organizers had hoped for. The more the screams, the happier the team was.

Each corner is carefully planned. One would never know if the mannequin was fake or if it was a real person.

The haunted hotel had nearly 800 people pass through the cobwebs and gore.

The group is extremely happy with the outcome of people attending, to make this a successful event.

Saskatchewan government to exit liquor retail sales The Government of Saskatchewan will complete the transition of liquor retailing to the private sector in 2023.

“With year over year declines in net revenue at SLGA retail, our government has made the decision to get out of the business of selling liquor,” said Lori Carr, minister responsible

for the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority.

“We believe now is the time to complete the transition to the private sector to free up financial resources for other priorities and to mitigate future losses.”

In 2018-19, profits were $9.4 million and in 2021-22, profits de-

clined to $3.2 million.

SLGA retail’s projected net income for 2022-23 is $395,000. In order to maintain profitability, many of SLGA’s current stores need to be relocated or physically adapted to better meet customer needs, at a significant cost to taxpayers with no guarantee of recouping those costs.

Actual closing dates for stores will vary, with all stores being closed

by March 31, 2023.

Physical assets, including 19 buildings owned

by SLGA, fixtures and equipment will be sold in a separate process.

SLGA will work with the Saskatchewan Government and General Employees’ Union (SGEU)

to negotiate a workforce adjustment plan for affected employees.

The retail store permits associated with the 34 stores will be sold via a public online auction process beginning in early 2023. As per usual process, successful bidders must still qualify to hold a commercial liquor permit. Additional

details about the auction process will be available later this year.

The announcement will not impact SLGA’s distribution centre.

SLGA will continue to operate as the wholesaler of beverage alcohol for the province as well as the regulator of liquor, gaming and cannabis.

Carlyle legion preparing for Remembrance Day

By Doug Waldner The 2022 Remembrance Day ceremony will be held on Nov. 11 in the Carlyle Elementary School gym.

This will be the first time the Carlyle branch of the Royal Canadian Legion will be able to hold this ceremony indoors since 2019. The service will start at 10:45 a.m.

As you may have noticed there are many banners in Carlyle honouring those who served Canada in wartime. This is an initiative of which the legion is very proud, both for our contributions and the involvement and commitment of the families of veterans who also contributed.

If you also wish to honour Canada’s veter-

ans, the Carlyle branch of the legion is selling yard signs for $20. To purchase a sign, please contact Nedra Clark at 306-577-7452 or Doug Waldner at 306-5758103.

You can also honour veterans by purchasing a poppy in many of the stores in Carlyle. Whether you wear a poppy, purchase and display a yard

sign, or have arranged to have a family member commemorated on a banner on the street, please be sure to attend the Remembrance Day ceremony at 10:45 to honour and remember those who have served.

Signs are available for purchase to honour Canada’s veterans.

Remembrance Day services scheduled in the area

By Gord Paulley

Many communities in southeast Saskatchewan are conducting their annual Remembrance Day services. Here is a look at the events planned.

Carnduff The Royal Canadian Legion plans on holding an outdoor ceremony at the cenotaph. It is in the park besides the swimming pool. Benches will be available for those unable to stand during the service.

“After the service,

everyone is welcome to join us for beef on a bun at the legion hall on Fourth Street West,” said branch president Jeff Young. “Several students have penned some poems and essays and may be reading them after lunch. The poems and essays will be judged, and the top ones entered in the Royal Canadian Legion national poetry contest. A special thank you to our poppy committee Kay Carley, Carol Vanstone and Marguerite Black.”

Kenosee Lake As has been the custom for many years, the Kenosee Lake Remembrance Day service will be held outdoors.

The cenotaph is located on the west side of the ball diamond at Moose Mountain Provincial Park.

Joan Adams has been organizing the event for the past 15 years.

“The weather on Remembrance Day is unpredictable but we usually have between 60 to 100 in attendance.”

Wreaths are laid on behalf of the Army, Navy, Air Force, search and rescue, veterans’ families, RCMP and others.

“Everyone is more than welcome to attend this outdoor service.”

Oxbow The Royal Canadian Legion’s Oxbow branch is holding its service in the Memorial Hall.

“We usually get up to 200 people attending this event,” said branch president Roy Wardrope. “Everyone

is welcome, and this year our guest speaker is Roberta Taylor. Incidentally, Roberta is also our legion secretary.

“Local cadets have just completed a very successful town-wide poppy blitz. As is customary, we expect to see many members of our local fire department attending our service, together with some of their fire trucks and other equipment. These volunteers really add to the ceremony.”

Redvers and Bellegarde The Remembrance Day ceremony takes place in the Redvers School auditorium on Nov. 9 and at École de Bellegarde on Nov. 10.

Both services are organized jointly by the Redvers Royal Canadian Legion branch and the respective schools.

“This year, we are delivering bracelets to both schools which have “Lest we forget” engraved on them. They will be handed out to every student. Everyone is welcome,” said

Redvers branch president Paul Aime.

The Remembrance Day service at the Bellegarde school will be in French. Eighty-seven students attend the school.

Wawota The local legion is holding its annual Remembrance Day service in the Wawota Town Hall.

“This year, our legion has decided to open our service to the public.

Our guest speaker is Ed James, a World War II historian from Manitoba. Immediately after the ceremony, everyone is welcome to join us for a delicious roast beef lunch. It is being catered to and the cost is $20,” said secretary Ross Corkish.

It is interesting to note that in the days before Remembrance Day, Wawota legion members visit seven cemeteries in the surrounding area. The 135 veterans that lie there are solemnly honoured with a Canadian flag added to their gravesite.

Opportunities to remember those who have served

By Stephanie Zoer On Nov. 11, services will be held at many communities to honour men and women who have served to keep peace or fight for our freedom.

Lampman The Lampman Royal Canadian Legion branch will hold their service at 10:30 a.m.

President Sandy Hanrieder said her father, Elmer Wilfred Littlejohn, was in the military and was deployed to the Netherlands during the Second World War. He never spoke about the war. Littlejohn passed away on June 22, 2002, at the age of 82.

Kipling The Kipling Royal Canadian Legion branch will

hold their service at the community centre at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11.

Allen Hourd served in the military for 26 years and 98 days, retiring in 2015.

Hourd was deployed in 2002 to the Persian Gulf and in 2007 went to Dubai.

He was on the search and rescue team from 19921997 but was also often on a ship to help navigate the ocean near Hawaii. He now farms near Kipling.

Stoughton The Stoughton Royal Canadian Legion will hold their service at 10:30 a.m. at the legion.

President Ray Coderre wanted to join the military but due to impaired hearing, he could not pass the requirements.

Coderre has been president for 20 years and just

Sandy Hanrieder’s father Elmer Wilfred Littlejohn served in the military and was deployed to the Netherlands during the Second World War. Photo by Sandy Hanrieder recently became the district command for the southeast corner.

All poppy money raised goes to help veterans who are struggling financial-

ly or who find themselves homeless.

Stoughton-Tecumseh Fire and Rescue Chief Pat Slater joined the military in 1973. He went to Borden, Ont., to be a vehicle technician, but he did not remain there.

In 1976 he was posted to Canlog in the Golan Heights in Israel. After his return he wrote his interprovincial journeyman licence. In 1982, Slater took his release and is a mechanic in Stoughton.

Alameda Alameda United Church will hold the Remembrance Day service at 10:45 a.m.

Reed Gibson, president of the Alameda Royal Canadian Legion said coffee, tea and snacks will be offered at the legion after the service.

Gibson’s father Walker

was in the Canadian Navy, but was not deployed.

Scott Paton from Arcola will MC at the Mac Murray Theatre for the Remembrance Day service that will begin at 10:45 a.m.

Although Arcola no longer has an active legion, the town holds a service every year in accordance with legion protocol.

Paton was always interested in Canadian military history, but never joined the military. This is his way of giving back.the branches Like so many of these legions, many of the veterans have now passed away, but they will continue to support and honour them, and they hope that everyone else will too, by coming to one of the services in the area and supporting the poppy campaign.

Child amputee connects with war veteran Eight-year-old Isla McCallum is an energetic young girl with a big smile, and Charlie Jefferson, 98, is a veteran of the Second World War. At first glance, these two appear to have little in common, yet they share a special connection: they are both amputees.

Jefferson served as a lieutenant with the Queen’s Own Rifles Regiment. In 1945, in the Rhine Valley in

Germany, he was injured by an anti-personnel mine explosion, resulting in the loss of his left leg below the knee.

When he returned home, Jefferson joined The War Amps, which was started by First World War amputee veterans to help each other adapt to their new reality.

Years later, these veterans established the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, which provides young amputees, like Isla, who was

born a left-arm amputee, with financial assistance for artificial limbs and the peer support of fellow amputees.

It was through The War Amps that Isla and her family heard about Jefferson. With Remembrance Day coming up, they visited him at his Ottawa residence.

Isla was interested to learn about Jefferson and the medals he earned for his service. She was also intrigued that he was missing

a limb. Isla described Jefferson as a role model who made her feel proud to be an amputee.

Isla’s mother Jamie says it is important that her daughter understands the sacrifices that many Canadians made for our freedom.

“Mr. Jefferson and others risked their lives so that we could live in a better world.”

Through The War Amps’ Operation Legacy, Isla and

young amputees across the country pay tribute to the veteran members of the association who laid the foundation for programs that continue to make a difference in the lives of amputees today.

“Because of their work, child amputees have the tools and resources they need to be active, independent, and confident,” said Jamie.

But Jefferson says he

also takes comfort in knowing that Isla and other “champs” will continue spreading the message of remembrance, even when he no longer can.

Added Jamie: “They [veterans] passed this legacy to younger amputees, and now it’s their turn to share these stories so that the sacrifices of veterans and all those who served are never forgotten. It’s a wonderful legacy.”

Veteran makes career in plumbing and heating

By Stephanie Zoer

When Zane Vanderhulst returned from his combat tour in Kandahar, he had to decide what his future career would be.

Vanderhulst was raised in Esterhazy and was living in Regina when he joined the Reserve Force.

The purpose of the Reserve Force is to train throughout the year and augment the regular force when they go on operation or do domestic operations.

For seven months, Vanderhulst was in Kandahar, and it was an ex-

perience he is extremely glad to have had.

He is still part of the reserve and just travelled to Shilo, Man., on Oct. 15 and 16 for training exercises at the army base.

Upon his return from Kandahar, a friend offered him a job in the plumbing and heating industry. He felt it was a good opportunity to gain experience with a trade.

Vanderhulst enjoyed the work and decided to apprentice to get his journeyman’ in plumbing and heating.

For the next four years, he would attend the Saskatchewan Polytechnic campus in Moose

Key “M” Auctions Services

Jaw, attending class for two months and completing 1,800 hours yearly of practical work under a licensed journeyman.

Once his schooling was successfully finished, he started his own business which he named Gunner’s Plumbing and Heating, with his base out of Arcola.

Over the course of the last years, he married Kyla and has two daughters, Zoe and Eve. This trade does not run in his family, although he has a cousin who has retired from the military and is now completing his last year for the same trade.

With his business beginning in 2020, he has remained busy. He does plumbing and heating in new builds and old, with the installation of furnaces and shop heaters, dishwasher installs, and bathroom and kitchen renovations. He attacks all jobs whether big or small.

Having a furnace checked at this time of year is a clever idea, said Vanderhulst, to ensure everything is working properly. He is also looking for help, although help is hard to find.

In the meantime, Vanderhulst is happy with his life and career choice.

First World War veteran J.D. Lothian reflected on his service through his writing

By Gord Paulley James (Jim) Daniel Lothian was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1896.

By the age of two, his parents had passed away and he was raised by his grandmother and an aunt and uncle. In 1906, another aunt and uncle returned to Scotland from Canada where they had recently homesteaded.

Together with Lothian and their own son Dan, they returned to Saskatchewan to a farm south of Gainsborough.

Lothian married Florence Clark in 1925 and moved from Gainsborough to Carlyle in 1929.

They had eight children, four of whom are still living today.

Lothian passed away in 1968 but before he died, he provided his family with a couple of hand-written diaries.

One was titled My Army Life, and was discovered

by Marilyn Brady, who

is the daughter of Lothian’s daughter Dorothy Brown. The diary was discovered long after it was written.

“This is the story of my army life, written by my own humble self.”

Undated but signed, J.D. Lothian.

My Army Life consisted of 16 handwritten pages chronicling Lothian’s time as a soldier.

The readings and recollections were fascinating and his loyalty to “King and Country” was pronounced.

“My army life started in 1917-18 and my first barracks was in Regina, Saskatchewan. It ended in Minto barracks, Winnipeg, Manitoba, on June 24, 1919.”

Lothian settled into barracks training but in the spring of 1918 was allowed to go home for a month to help his uncle sow a crop. He returned to Regina for further training and early that

summer rode the railway to Nova Scotia.

“About July 15, we left Halifax on a boat named the Cassandra. On the journey to Liverpool, England, we had a daily onehour boat drill just in case our convoy was attacked by a German submarine.”

From Liverpool, Lothian took the train to Aldershott for their segregation camp. By the end of September, they were ready for combat in France, but most of his regiment caught the flu.

While Lothian didn’t, he did come down with the mumps.

The day after being discharged from the hospital, Lothian slipped while running down a hill, severely spraining his ankle. He remained in hospital until November 11, 1918, which was the day the First World War ended. Armistice Day, or Remembrance Day, was born.

“I could well remem-

ber riding on top of a streetcar for about an hour watching all the parades,” said Lothian.

“I could see men coming out of a pub, drinking a glass of whiskey or beer, and walking up to an officer and say, ‘To hell with you, the war is over.’”

Despite Germany surrendering to the Allies, Lothian continued to train in England. In early 1919, he received a pass and was able to visit relatives in Glasgow, Scotland. In April, his entire regiment was told they were being discharged.

“About the middle of June 1919, we sailed for home, and we were sure a happy bunch of soldiers. I had some English pennies in my pocket so thought I would play crown and anchor and likely get rid of them. However, I started to get lucky and in five or 10 minutes I made 20 dollars.”

“We landed in Montreal and took the train to

Lothian tried to served in Second World War « A13 The writings came from the heart and some of his recollections are too vivid and/or too personal to mention. All the family have copies and they treasure the diaries.

Twenty years later, it was learned that Lothian was as loyal to his country as he was to his family.

“When World War II broke out, I tried to join the army again but as I was working on the rail-

road, it was considered essential work. So, they wouldn’t take me, and my army life was over for good.”

Lothian also penned The Life of an Orphan, which was also undated but signed. It began with this introduction: “This is being written by me, and is my desire that when completed, I will be able to have eight copies printed, one for each member of my family.” Signed, Dad.

He added, “To all who may happen to read this article, please overlook all errors in spelling, poor grammar and all other mistakes I have made, as I only had a very humble and kind of mixed education. I took part of my schooling in Scotland, and only have a grade V111 education.”

Lothian’s Life of an Orphan article was six chapters long and consisted of over 20 handwritten pages. It chron-

icled his life history, detailing his school years, his marriage and the move from Gainsborough to Carlyle.

On April 1, 1929, he started working for CP Rail and retired with a pension in 1955 due to failing health. The diary was written in the early 1960s.

room table and reminisced about their childhood days. Brown and her brother grew up in the Carlyle residence located on Fifth Street West.

“We were a very poor family. As kids we didn’t get an allowance and started working at odd jobs when we were 13 or 14. The house had two upstairs bedrooms.

Marion and I had one room, our six brothers shared the other. My older brother Dan and I used to take Mondays off from school to help with the laundry,” said Brown.

“Florence had her hands full raising eight kids,” added Marjorie Lothian. “I can still see her in her chair rocking back and forth and knitting clothes for her family.” Florence Lothian died from breast cancer in 1965.

Added Ralph: “Dad loved playing cards, watching his sons play ball, and often curled three or four times a week. I remember our first television set; it was a second-hand black and white and purchased around 1960. He really enjoyed watching the World Series.”

“T hey shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.”

Carlyle Lions Park receives diamond upgrades

By Gord Paulley Carlyle Minor Ball, in conjunction with the Carlyle District Lions Club, has been undergoing renovations to its ball diamonds.

J & J Trucking of Arcola has been contracted to remove the existing surfaces on all six interior diamonds and reapplying a smoother and more dependable product to each.

Using state of the art laser levelling, all surfaces will be professionally refurbished reducing the risk of injury and ensuring truer bounces and a higher quality of play.

“On behalf of our organization, it has been quite

exciting to see a project move from a conversation and vision of a few people to being executed in an efficient and collaborative manner,” said Carlyle Minor Ball treasurer Brandy East. “With our registrations up due to participation from surrounding communities, the need for another usable diamond and improvements to our existing diamonds became very evident in 2022.

Minor ball has successfully fundraised the past few years and with additional financial assistance from the local Lions Club, donations from private companies and funding from the RM of Moose

Mountain and Town of Carlyle capital grant program, they were able to finance a project that should be appreciated for many years to come.

“This project was a great reminder of what vision, collaboration and determination can do for a community. Thank you very much again to our sponsors and the Carlyle Lions club for making this project happen,” said East.

“The upgrades to the six ball diamonds at Lions Park started last week. J & J Trucking has run into some wet weather, but it is still hopeful that the entire project can be completed this fall. Financially,

Carlyle a great place to live,” said Carlyle District Lions Club Park committee chairman Duncan Brown.

Red Devils trounce Coalers to open Big Six season The 2022-23 Big Six Hockey League season began the same way that the previous one ended: with a Carnduff Red Devils victory.

Carnduff routed the Bienfait Coalers 12-2 Saturday night in Bienfait. It was the first meeting between the two teams since last season’s thrilling best-ofthree quarter-final series, which Carnduff won 2-1.

The Red Devils went on to win the Big Six championship.

Nico Anderson scored

the first goal in the league this season 3:45 into the first period to give the Red Devils a 1-0 lead. Two goals

by Trey Stocker, and individual tallies by Jackson O’Brien, Tanner Reynolds and Kyle Garagan made it a 6-0 game after the first period.

Garagan, Anderson, Ben Hiltz, Devon Carriere and Justin Smith scored in the second period for Carnduff.

Kaelan Holt and Kaleb Poole tallied in the third for Bienfait, while Carriere

added his second of the game for the Red Devils.

Cody Dumaine was in goal for Carnduff, and Zack Miller was the goalie for Bienfait.

Next weekend will be the first full weekend of play.

Games on Nov. 4 are the Carlyle Cougars at the Kipling-Windthorst Oil Kings, the Oxbow Huskies will visit the Redvers Rockets, and the Red Devils will be at the Arcola-Kisbey Combines.

The following night, the Yellow Grass Wheat Kings will visit Carnduff,

Oxbow will be at Kipling-Windthorst, and the Midale Mustangs are at the Combines.

All games are to start at 8 p.m.

A total of 11 teams are in the league this season.

Arcola-Kisbey and Kipling-Windthorst are back after a hiatus. They will join Carnduff, Bienfait,

Patron gets a one-year prison sentence for hate speech

By David Willberg The former leader of the now-defunct Canadian Nationalist Party will be spending additional time in jail for spreading hatred against Jews.

Travis Patron of Redvers – who was convicted for wilful promotion of hate against an identifiable group in early October – was sentenced to one year in prison Thursday afternoon in Court of King’s Bench in Estevan. He was credited for 131 days spent in remand on this charge, with 1 1/2 days for each day, so he has already served 197 days of the sentence. Patron will spend 168 more days in prison.

He will then serve one year of probation.

Patron will have to keep the peace and be of good behaviour, and must appear before the court when required to do so.

Further, he cannot publish or post on any internet website or social media platform where such posts or publications can be read by the general public, or any

information about any individual who is of the Jewish faith or origin.

Crown prosecutor Ryan Snyder was seeking two years’ probation.

Snyder outlined his case for the one-year sentence to Judge D.N. Robertson Thursday morning. The prosecutor noted that while the maximum sentence is two years, he does not know of anyone who has received a sentence of more than a year for wilful promotion of hate.

“Certainly if there was a case that could attract the maximum, perhaps this is it, but … I couldn’t find any cases where anybody received more than a year.”

He also pointed out that Patron was putting the material out there for all to see, with links to his Facebook page and the CNP website, rather than putting it in a dark corner of the internet.

And he noted that Patron has not been apologetic or repentant for his remarks.

“He’s been in custody for some time,” said Snyder. “If he hasn’t learned

anything, well, he’s going to be before the justice system again.”

A victim impact statement was brought forward from B’Nai Brith Canada executive director Michael Mostyn, which detailed how Patron’s previous statements about Jewish people have affected the Canadian Jewish community.

Patron was representing himself during the trial and the sentencing. When Robertson asked the defendant if he had anything to say, or if he wanted to apologize or express remorse, Patron remained silent.

The silence continued when asked if he would like counselling or if he has plans for the future.

Robertson then noted silence was Patron’s choice.

During the sentencing hearing, Patron carried a large plastic bag filled with documents and folders, but they were never used.

After a recess, Robertson handed down the sentence. He cited several precedent-setting cases and noted several

aggravating factors, including Patron’s prior criminal record.

“My hope is that on release, you will return to the right path as a productive citizen, and put these foolish and dangerous thoughts behind you. But that’s up to you.

If you continue to make trouble for others, you will also make trouble for yourself,” Robertson said in addressing Patron.

Wilful promotion of hatred is a serious offence because it attacks and undermines tolerance, which Robertson described as a virtue and a basic Canadian value.

The Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center (FSWC) said it was pleased with the sentence.

The FSWC pointed out that in an online video titled Beware the Parasitic Tribe, which led to the wilful promotion of hate charge, Patron claimed that Jewish people “infiltrate the media, they hijack the central bank, and they infect the body politic like a parasite,” and “what we need to do ...

is remove these people, once and for all, from our country.”

“The judge’s sentencing decision sends a clear message that promoting hatred against Jews has consequences in Canada, including imprisonment,” said Jaime Kirzner-Roberts, director of policy at FSWC. “While justice has been served, unfortunately, it took more than three years for a guilty verdict to be reached since the moment police were first notified of Travis Patron’s hatemongering in 2019, which is far too long.

“Patron is just one of many extremists who use online platforms to spread anti-Semitic tropes and conspiracy theories, and such hate is having a real impact on the Jewish community’s safety. As we see hate crimes in Canada increase year after year, the country’s government and justice system must make combating hatred, and bringing perpetrators of such crimes to justice, a priority.”

Patron was convicted for spreading hate

against Jews on Oct. 5.

The trial began on Sept.

26 with jury selection.

Opening statements followed, and then the prosecution presented witnesses. Patron did not have any witnesses.

Closing statements occurred on Oct. 3. The judge gave instructions to the jury in the morning of Oct. 5, and the jury needed less than an hour of deliberations to convict Patron.

He was charged with the crime by Carlyle RCMP in February 2021, nearly two years after the video was posted.

Earlier this year, he was convicted on two counts of assault causing bodily harm against two women in Regina in 2019, and was sentenced to concurrent 18-month sentences. He was credited for time served on that sentence, but remained in custody while awaiting the hate speech trial.

And last year, he was found guilty of mischief after an incident at the Redvers branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, and two counts of breach of an undertaking.

THE OBSERVER

Alida Haunted House was a hit Submitted by Edel Cowan David and Shanna Carriere welcomed their newest little granddaughter, Hadley Layne, to the family. She arrived safe and sound on Sept.

24 to her parents Travis and Lyndsey Carriere and big sister, Braelee of Regina. Congratulations everyone.

Faye Walker went to Saskatoon on Oct. 24 to attend a meeting. She visited with her family and also had a dental appointment before returning home on Oct. 28.

On Oct. 26, Shelly

Cowan went to Regina where she accompanied her daughter Lacie to the Rocky Horror Show play at the Conexus Arts Center. She returned home the next day.

The Alida community extends sincere sympathy to the family of George Rowley, late of Manor, on his passing on Oct. 29 at the age of 82 years. He was predeceased by his wife Fern, daughter, Loretta, brother, Glen and sister Evelyn. He will be remembered by his sons – Leonard, Wade, Mark and Scott, his five grandchildren and four

great-grandchildren. A graveside service will be held at Manor Cemetery on Nov. 4.

The Alida Haunted House and Fun Fair was another huge success this year. The attendance for the five days in late October for the haunted house maze was approximately 526 visitors plus a full house for the fun fair. The youngsters really did enjoy this event. This year the event brought in a grand total of $10,120.

Much appreciation goes to all who attended and participated in this event, as well as to all the

spooks, volunteer workers and for all the donations of items, cash and goodies for the fun fair.

Great work everyone and special recognition to organizer Shelly Cowan and her right-hand man Dale Anthony for the many hours they spend in assembling the haunted house weeks before the event. Hopefully we’ll see you again next year.

Remember those who gave their lives, the greatest sacrifice of all.

Wear your poppy proudly and do remember all of our veterans this Remembrance Day on Nov. 11.

Alex Runions Trio coming to Mac Murray Theatre

By Stephanie Zoer The Optimist Club of Arcola is holding a special night at the town’s Mac Murray Theatre.

On November 12, country singer Alex Runions Trio will perform many of his own songs. Runions is a homegrown singer from Kipling. He now lives in Saskatoon, but has also lived for 14 years in Regina.

Growing up, he always loved music and would make up songs and sing them on his way to school.

Runions then heard his cousin sing at a wedding, and it was then that he wanted to be

able to sing and perform like that one day.

At the age of 15, Runions was in a high school band and his love for music continued to grow.

Runions won the 2016 Saskatchewan Country Music Award for Entertainer of the Year and also received Male Vocalist of the Year.

In 2021, with COVID-19 rules still lingering, he wrote his 11th song, I’ll do the Driving.

Runions has performed at places such as Country Thunder in Craven, the Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose, Alta., and the Grey Cup Festivals.

He also recently became a first-time dad to a little girl, which he said has changed his life a great deal.

The Optimist Club of Arcola enjoys promoting Saskatchewan artists.

According to Blake Brownridge, the president of the Arcola Optimist Club, the theatre is open the first weekend after Thanksgiving and then closes the weekend before the Victoria Day long weekend.

The Mac Murray Theatre plays movies on Friday and Saturday nights with a start time of 8 p.m.

Brownridge said the theatre is run solely by the Optimist Club and

many volunteers. The high school students from Arcola can be seen working many weekends. He feels it is a fantastic way to keep the youth busy.

The club took over the theatre in the 1990s, holding events for youths, as this is what the club focuses on.

There active members are already busy planning the 30th anniversary of the snowmobile rally, but right now the main focus is on a full house for the Alex Runions Trio concert.

Young entrepreneur opens paving business

By Gord Paulley Carlyle resident Ethan Anderson has been an entrepreneur since his early high school days, when he mowed lawns and blew snow.

This 22-year-old graduated from Gordon F. Kells High School in 2018 and has never looked back. He is the youngest son of Gary and Denise Anderson.

Ethan Anderson has just completed his eighth year of paving and crack sealing driveways and parking lots.

During the busy summer months, he hires up to four local employees.

Triple AAA Paving cov-

ers a large trading area and in addition to doing local work in southeast Saskatchewan, he has done paving jobs in White City, Esterhazy, Moosomin, Weyburn and Yellow Grass.

Anderson likes working with asphalt.

“It’s more flexible, durable, and easier to work with,” said Anderson. “Asphalt is preferable in our colder climate.”

During the past couple of years, Anderson has done a number of paving jobs including the Dairy Queen drivethru and the Carlyle Motor Products and Saskatchewan Liquor Board

parking lots. Triple AAA has resurfaced many residential driveways in Kenosee Lake, Carlyle and surrounding areas.

He also crack filled the Carlyle Airport runway this past May. As he heads into November, Anderson is taking asphalt and pavement bookings for 2023.

He is also available for this winter’s snow removal. While he services several regular clients every winter, he has the time, equipment, experience and energy to take on additional clientele.

His snowplowing territory covers the towns of Carlyle, Manor and Arcola.

New church pastor is enjoying time in Carlyle Rodney Cox is the newly ordained reverend at the local Full Gospel Church.

Cox and his family have purchased a home on to Carlyle from North Battleford on Sept. 1.

Cox was born in Hafford and moved to North Battleford in 1988. After four years attending the Fountain of Life Ministry in Prince Albert, he graduated in 2008 with a master’s degree in pastoral ministry and clinical counselling.

He returned to North Battleford in 2010 and worked as a counsellor in the private sector.

He became associ-

ate pastor of the Living Faith Chapel in North Battleford in 2013 and until this year was supervising a group home for girls in the Social Services system. The opportunity to practise in Carlyle presented itself and the family decided to relocate.

Cox has family roots in the area. His grandparents were Asa and Mabel Fox who resided near Cannington Manor.

His mother was Gladys Fox and he is the first cousin of Wade.

The Carlyle Full Gospel Church operates under the umbrella of the Apostolic Church

Christmas is Coming!

of Pentecost of Canada, or ACOP. The Carlyle congregation was established in 1929 and over the years there have been several renovations and upgrades.

In the fall of 1986, a new sanctuary was built and open for worship.

The following February, the fellowship hall and kitchen facilities were completed, and this church was dedicated in September 1987.

Cox plans on giving his local congregation a long-time commitment.

“I welcome all newcomers and especially wish to focus on connecting with the community,” he said. “Carlyle is a great town and a great place to live. I look forward to meeting everyone.”

Cox is married to Gail, who is presently
