Inaugural harvest for the Carlyle Community Complex Foundation is complete

By Stephanie Zoer

The Carlyle Community Complex Foundation has been very busy holding fundraisers for the new school in the town.

They have been fundraising since August 2022 and in the spring of 2023, they received word from the provincial government that Carlyle would receive a new school for pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 students. It will include a daycare.

This sent the small community into a celebration as they had been waiting for this news for 10 years.

Foundation committee chairwoman Tammie Riddell said they needed to have something bigger for a fundraiser, as selling hotdogs and doing vendor stands would take a long time to raise the money needed for the project.

The school will cost millions of dollars that will be covered by the government, but if they wanted to add to this project, the cost would be a great deal higher.

Over the years, there have been farmers that have donated land to the future of farming, and since this is a farming community, they set the wheels in motion for the complex fundraiser.

Shane and Ashley Valentine graciously donated 91 acres for the project,

which is located seven kilometres north of Carlyle.

The project called “Farming for the Future” was planted in soft white wheat, to be used for ethanol.

On Sept. 7, harvest took place with a group of onlookers seeing how well the crop had done.

With the lack of rain on this year’s crop season, Riddell was glad to report they still received a good yield in the first year. The crop raised $60,000.

To date the complex foundation has raised $83,000.

Now to prepare for the 2024 crop, 306 Ag Resource Group donated their time, equipment and the fertilizer called Bio-Sul to be applied to the soil for the second annual crop.

The next fundraiser is for hockey fans on Oct. 20, beginning at 7 p.m. The Estevan Bruins will play the Notre Dame Hounds for the Carlyle Cup at the Sports Arena. This is the second straight year the teams have met in Carlyle.

Tickets will be available at the beginning of October at many local businesses in Carlyle from any committee member. There will be pre-sale ticket draws and a 50/50 at the game with a guaranteed jackpot.

So come on out and support the Carlyle Community Complex Foundation, Riddell believes it will be a game worth watching.

Over the past several years, the Southern Plains Co-op has hosted a Fuel Good day in support of local organizations.

According to Decia Knockaert, manager at the co-op’s Carlyle gas bar, the application is quite simple. Organizations fill out the form and state what they would use the funds for; after applications have been received, one is selected to receive the donation. For one day only, on Sept. 19, for every litre of gas pumped, 10 cents went to the chosen organization, along with proceeds from coffee purchases.

Chaelynn Boutin from Carlyle is a committee member of the Carlyle Cubs Learning Centre. They applied for this do-

The funds raised for the Carlyle Cubs was $2,329.70 and will be used for outdoor play equipment and a gazebo at the learning centre.

Southern Plains also held fundraisers in Estevan and Oxbow that day.

The fundraiser in Ox-

Sarah Rickard, presi-

dent of the skating club, said the donation would be used for training tools for the StarSkate and CanSkate programs.

Stoughton vet receives her second SVMA Meritorious Service Award

By Ana Bykhovskaia

The Saskatchewan Veterinary Medical Association (SVMA) recognized the best ones in their field, and the southeast had a reason to celebrate as one of the most beloved veterinarians in the area – Dr. Anne Y Kernaleguen – received her second Meritorious Service Award. The first recognition came in 2008.

The award ceremony was held on Sept. 9 at TCU Place in Saskatoon during the annual SVMA conference. Kernaleguen said while she knew she was nominated for the award, she didn’t know she was a winner.

“I was very pleased and honoured,” Kernaleguen told the Observer and SaskToday, adding she had most of the clinic staff as well as some family members and friends with her at the SVMA Awards Night Banquet at the conference.

She said there’s been a lot of progress in the veterinarian world since her last award. There is more technology and some drugs are safer now, but a lot of things stayed the same, as the staff at the clinic continued doing their job and taking care of animals, small and big,

to the best of their abilities. And her professionalism and care were once again acknowledged 15 years later.

The Meritorious Service Award recognizes a member in good standing who has made an outstanding single or long-term contribution to the quality of life in their community or province. This achievement may be in the area of youth or senior programs, philanthropic organizations or the arts.

Sarah Richaud, a veterinary technician at the Stoughton Veterinary Services who introduced Kernaleguen during the awards night, said Kernaleguen received three different nominations for the Meritorious Service Award.

“I believe the diversity of their origins also speaks highly of Anne’s character and how deserving she is of this award,” Richaud said.

The first nomination letter came from a student who helped at the clinic last spring, the second letter was from Dr. Michelle Anderson, who worked at the Stoughton Veterinary Services for many years, and the third one came from Kernaleguen’s previous colleague and her nephew Dr. Vic-

tor Kernaleguen.

“Anne has been a veterinarian in Stoughton for more years than I even know. She works tirelessly to provide the utmost care for all the large and small animals in the southeast corner of the province, day or night, seven days a week, 365 days a year. From midnight calvings on Christmas Eve to going out on call on a -40 day, to working through her lunch hour to finish up surgeries, she never complains and always seems to have an abundance of energy that none of us can explain,” wrote Anderson.

“Anne is always will-

ing to learn and never backs down from a difficult case. She has provided countless hours of mentorship for so many vets, techs and students alike. She is one of the most patient teachers I have ever met and is always willing to go the extra mile to show a student or co-worker how to do a procedure or technique.

“She also is a pillar in the community and is supportive of all the local programs and businesses. Anne is irreplaceable and I’m not sure how we got so lucky to have her in our little community,” Anderson added.

“With Anne, if there is a will, there is a way,

and this has kept her going through her 45-year career in a time where being a woman in the industry was not always as accepted as it is today,” said Victor Kernaleguen in his nomination letter. “She has acquired many skills over the years and has kept her veterinary practice very up to date for a small centre of 700 people. She has never been scared to invest in her clinic to give her clients the best experience possible.”

“Thank you, Anne, for being the best boss, veterinarian and friend that anyone could ask for. I’m so grateful that I took a chance at the

quaint rural clinic and have got to spend the last 12 years working alongside you. You truly are one in a million and very deserving of this award,” Richaud said in her remarks.

Kernaleguen grew up on a mixed farm near St. Brieux, Sask. She graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 1978 and started working for Dr. Don Pulfer in Stoughton on May 1, 1978. She bought the practice on Jan. 15, 1979, and has enjoyed working in the Stoughton area ever since. Kernaleguen has worked extensively with cow-calf producers.

Highway 47 gets a facelift by Stoughton

By Stephanie Zoer

Highway 47 north of Highway 13, leading into Stoughton, received a small face lift on Sept. 11, and it was a welcome surprise to some people.

The short piece of highway to the railway tracks was ripped up, built up and then paved once again with a fresh layer or two of asphalt.

The construction did not take the workers long, but it did cause de-

lays, as Highway 33 from Stoughton to Fillmore has also been under construction.

The Highway 33 project, which will cost $24 million and cover 38 kilometres, is very close to the small town and people are getting excited to have the project completed, especially those that work in Stoughton and are entering the town from the northwest.

Delays on the high-

way have been up to 30 minutes, but according to one flag person, most people are patiently waiting for the pilot truck to arrive to take them on their way.

Yet there are others that still try to pass in the no-passing areas or do not use their signal lights when they need to turn.

All in all, it seems to be coming to an end as they are near completion for this year with a fresh new highway.

TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION

The Day of Truth and Reconciliation is an opportunity for Canadians to learn about our past

By Stephanie Zoer

The National Day of Truth and Reconciliation will be observed in Canada on Sept. 30.

“This campaign is a movement for non-First Nations people to learn, admit and believe the collective, traumatic history that our ancestors have gone through,” said Chief Connie BigEagle from Ocean Man First Nation.

White Bear First Nations has a full day planned, starting with a pancake breakfast at the White Bear Veterans Arena.

Later in the day at 2 p.m., an Every Child Matters Walk will be held from the administration office to the Veterans Arena, and then there will be a few guest speakers.

Around 4:30 p.m., there will be a powwow dance and a contest for those in orange regalia, and also an Every Child Matters logo contest.

The afternoon will continue with face painting, horseshoes and an orange t-shirt contest.

A community feast will begin at 5 p.m. at the Veterans Arena, and there will also be vendors and a yard sale.

They encourage everyone to come out and attend, as it is for all.

In Stoughton, at the Green Space on Main Street, the Stoughton Co-op’s grocery store will host a barbecue from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. In addition to this, the coop gas bar will donate five cents per litre of gas pumped on Sept. 30 to the Ocean Man Nutrition Program for the children at Ocean Man School and the Stough-

ton Central School.

For the week of Sept. 25-30, the South East Cornerstone Public School Division will honour truth and reconciliation for the entire week, teaching the children about the Indigenous culture and heritage.

Little Bird is a series that was recently released and explains the behindthe-scenes context of the ‘60s Scoop and went into a great deal of detail.

In June 2021, the Government of Canada passed Bill C-5 to make Sept. 30 a federal statutory day. It is known as the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.

This day is set aside for people to wear orange t-shirts as an opportunity to discuss the effects of residential schools and their legacy.

It honours the Indigenous people and celebrates their resilience and affirms a commitment that every child matters.

There are many ways that people can educate themselves about the residential schools and the ‘60s Scoop, what happened at these schools and how to make sure that nothing like this will ever happen again.

For a period of more than 150 years, First Nations, Inuit and Métis Nations children were taken from their homes and communities to attend these schools, which were located far from their homes.

Over 150,000 children attended these residential schools, with many of them never returning to their families.

Children as young as four years of age were taken from their homes.

National day of truth and reconciliation

The government would not pay to have the children returned if they passed away and were buried at the schools. Many parents were never told what happened to their children.

At one time in 1931, 80 residential schools were operating in Canada and the last one closed in 1996. It was the last federally funded residential school in Canada.

Some residential schools remain standing in Saskatchewan, and a few more of these buildings remain throughout Canada.

They were not allowed to speak their language, nor speak of their culture, and if they did, they were abused and beaten.

There was also the ‘60s Scoop, where children were taken from First Nations families and put up for adoption.

They would be placed in middle-class white family homes and fosters and then adopted.

It is estimated that 20,000 First Nations children were scooped up and placed like this. It continued until the 1980s when it was harshly condemned.

Multiple class action lawsuits were filed and launched across five provinces.

In 2017, the Ontario Superior Court ruled that the government was liable for the harm caused by the ‘60s Scoop.

To Indigenous people, these are dark days for the ones that were lost and for the ones that survived these schools and being taken away from their families.

Today the Indigenous people are healing from this dreadful act, and they continue with their culture and teach

the children their language.

The Indigenous people have strong communities, and they are resilient, holding strong in their beliefs and heritage. They would like for non-Indigenous people to understand and educate themselves, and

join in when possible, such as going to their powwows.

This day is also set aside for all the Indigenous men, women and children who are still missing to this day and for those who have survived this horrible part of Canadian history.

National Day of TRUTH and RECONCILIATION

Indigenous people love their culture and want only to educate others.

University of Saskatchewan teams up with artist to acknowledge Orange Shirt Day

For Vanessa Hyggen, it’s been a slow and steady path rooted in persistence and collaboration.

To help raise awareness and acknowledge the truth behind the Canadian residential school system, the University of Saskatchewan's (USask) Indigenous Space & Visual Symbols in the Health Sciences Committee has partnered once again with Shop USask

to provide orange shirts to help acknowledge Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Sept. 30.

Based on a commissioned painting created by Woodland Cree and Norwegian artist Hyggen, these shirts have been available at Shop USask.

Hyggen is a Woodland Cree and Norwegian painter and bead artist from nemepith

sipihk (Sucker River), in Northern Saskatchewan. She is a member of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band and currently lives in Saskatoon. She earned a bachelor of arts with distinction from USask.

"There’s a meme that’s been going around for a couple years that says, every Indigenous person you know is either a survivor of residential school, a child of a survivor, a grandchild of a survivor – or all three," she said. And it’s true.

"I remember talking about residential school when I was in elementary school in Saskatoon and none of my peers knew what I was talking about. My grandparents passed away before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission began and, even though they never got to tell their stories,

the effects are still present in our lives.

"I’m glad that people are learning now — but we still have a long

way to go and Orange Shirt Day is a great contribution to that learning.

To learn more about Orange Shirt Day, the Canadian residential school system and other important topics, there are numerous sites available online.

For emotional crisis referral services and information on other health supports

from the Government of Canada, residential school survivors can call 1-866-925-4419.

The Hope for Wellness Help Line is also available to Indigenous peoples across Canada 24 hours a day, seven days a week for counselling and crisis intervention.

It can be reached toll-free at 1-855-2423310 or online chat at hopeforwellness.ca.

Vanessa Hyggen was commissioned by the University of Saskatchewan Indigenous Space & Visual Symbols in the Health Sciences Committee to create artwork for Orange Shirt Day 2023.

Young Spirit Equestrian owner living her dream

By Stephanie Zoer

Amelia Young is a 21-year-old woman who is fulfilling her dream and passion for horses.

Born in Grand Prairie, Alta., her family soon moved to Saskatoon, where she grew up.

She always loved horses like so many young girls, and her parents, Tara and Jamie Young, decided they would enroll her in riding lessons.

Under the watchful eye of Karen Wisser, at the age of five, she be -

gan English riding. Wisser would not only be Young’s instructor, but would become her mentor and inspiration.

“She was an amazing coach and I owe her for the many things I learned,” said Young.

From the age of 1018, Young entered the show world of jumping and became a competitive rider.

Although she mainly rides in English, Young enjoys hitting the trails in the comfort of a western saddle, as her grandma also used

to ride western.

In 2014, Young moved to Vancouver, and she continued to ride under the coaching of Rachel Wassman for the next four years.

During this time, she had her faithful horse, Double Digit, a Canadian sport horse who is now 15 years old, by her side.

In 2021, Young decided she needed a change, returned to Saskatchewan and moved to Carlyle where her sister Jordan Mullis lives.

Now a young adult,

she wanted to make her dream come true and became a coach.

Young has taken coaching courses through Equestrian Canada. There are 10 levels to complete, and she has finished Level 6.

Roxanne Appell is the owner of Appell Hungry Horse Ranch, and this is where Young plans to do her lessons.

Young Spirit Equestrian began in July and she does her lessons at the Appell Ranch, located west of Wawota.

Young said it works great there, as she can use the horses from Appell , as they have several. This way the horses get exercised. Her lesson program is usually for kids and safety is the number 1 priority.

Young matches up the young riders with the appropriate horse through their level of knowledge and skills.

Amelia Young is excited about her new adventure and living her dream with her horse Double Digit. Photo courtesy of Amelia Young

Appell has several horses that are safe for beginners.

Students begin with the basics, such as grooming, care and feeding, as well as the proper way to tack up a horse, which tack is used and how to care for the gear.

Young would like children to have the opportunity to ride a horse through lessons

like she did. She feels it is a wonderful gift to be around these amazing animals. Horses can offer stress relief and are a great way for kids to break out of their shells. Through this all, Young’s parents, sister and best friend Morgan Currie have supported her, and Young is truly thankful for all they have done.

The Boutique Airbnb Hotel in Kenosee is a unique and retro business

By Stephanie Zoer

If a person is looking for a different kind of place to stay for a couple of nights, this is the place to be according to Ryan Allison, who owns the Boutique Airbnb Hotel in Kenosee Lake.

Allison was born and raised in the Kenosee area. He is the son of the late Keith Allison, the founder and owner of the general store at Kenosee Lake.

Allsion went in a different direction than his father. He went on an academic route, beginning at the University of Saskatchewan, where he studied philosophy, linguistics and English literature.

He progressed to McGill University for his master’s degree and ventured to New England to study psychoanalysis.

It was quite a journey for Allison, and he landed in Kansas City where he took up residence and enjoyed his life, but he never

Rubberstone

forgot his roots at Kenosee Lake, the wonderful people there and the beauty of the community.

“The pandemic hit and changed everything as we know it now,” said Allison. “I would love to say I was perfect and wonderful through the process but none of us were.”

Despite this, he went to work every day as an essential worker trying to help his community.

It was during the pandemic that he began to long for nature, and after much research, he contacted Leanne Sorenson, who is a real estate agent from Kenosee Lake, and she found the perfect property for Allison in the community.

The next step was for Allison to find a designer. He contacted Jay Hamilton from South Prairie Design to come up with a radical look for Allison’s property and use the ideas that Allison had.

Hamilton continued to work with the construc-

tion company to help dial in Allison’s millwork, furniture and finishings.

“We are very appreciative to be the ones that were able to assist Allison in bringing his vision of the boutique at Kenosee Lake to life,” said Hamilton.

“Altogether the build is one of a kind and one of our favourite projects to date,” Hamilton added.

Once the design was completed, Allison hired Paul Capell from CNM Construction. Allison feels that Capell is a genius and he pulled off every aspect of the job.

Wanting to do something truly unique for the community, Allison decided to introduce the concept of a Boutique Airbnb hotel experience, which is a small stylish hotel usually found in a fashionable urban location.

These kinds of builds are usually seen in historic cities like New York, Boston, Calgary or Vancouver, according to Allison.

The design gave Allison a great deal of fun. Every element had a unique turn.

The lower floor is entirely designed from wood, and designing the art and furniture from around the world gives this place a truly different appeal.

It took two years

for all the pieces to come together, with the monogrammed robes and slippers. The custom designed soap provides an added touch.

In his own way, this

is circling back to his family and friends, so that Allison can enjoy his residence in Kenosee when he chooses to, but also make it available to the public.

Linoleum came from Denmark, while macramé and other pieces came from Japan.

Each retro piece is carefully placed and
