The Kenosee Lake Gardens was recently demolished to make way for a new addition to the community. Photo by Lori Hoffort ries and essays that have been written, photographed and developed throughout the years. The new premises will hold great memories for years to come, ushering in a brand-new era of welcoming locals and tourists alike. “Before any comments on our future plans, we would like to thank the residents of Kenosee and surrounding area for their support, words of encouragement and congratulatory messages on this venture,” said investor Al Janke. “Starting now, we are committed

to serving you, our future customers.” Once the debris has been cleared and the site has passed inspection for safety and environmental concerns, the construction will begin. “Phases 1 and 2 were to secure the property and demolish it before the freeze up,” said Janke. “Phase 3 is to continue our work with our architects and engineers on the design of a hotel, restaurant and banquet facility on the old gardens site, with the ambitious hope of breaking new ground in the spring of 2024 with an estimat-

ed 18 month build time.” When asked about the decision to go ahead with the endeavour, he stated: “I would suggest our decision to move forward at this time was somewhat personal for each one of us. However, the opportunity to be part of an enthusiastic proven investment group, sharing the same vision for revitalization has brought us all together.” Kenosee has seen new entrepreneurial efforts over this past year. The excitement of the water structure at the main beach and the boat

rentals at Little Kenosee have proven to be successful and will hopefully return next year. Kenosee offers many walking and bike trails. There are many outdoor activities that are free or available for year-round entertainment. The enjoyment of the main beach itself and the lake, mini golf, playgrounds, ball parks, ultimate frisbee, 18-hole golf course, the Artist’s Colony, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing offer an opportunity for many to enjoy the various seasons throughout the year.

The end of one era marks the beginning of a new one in Kenosee Lake The Kenosee Gardens has fallen. Oct. 16 was the day of the demise of one dream and the birth of another. The Gardens, as it became affectionately known, was completed and opened in 1933 and quickly became a hotspot for generations. The stories and memories held by so many share similarities that offer a colourful past as the Kenosee Gardens grew and flourished for decades. Fast forward to the summer of 2023 when four investors purchased the property where the iconic building stood. Because the property had fallen into disrepair over the past number of years, the decision was made to demolish the structure and build again. The investors aspire to develop the site with a new establishment to serve the village, park residents and visitors to Kenosee Lake. Located at 22 Lakeview Street, the view will be graced once again with a modern hotel. The proposed new development will be a welcome spark for revitalization in the village and Moose Mountain Provincial Park. The history of the site will be preserved in the memo-

Heifer sale near Arcola brings in a crowd By Stephanie Zoer There was little room to park at Blair Athol Farms, located north of Arcola, as the driveway was lined with pickup trucks and trailers. On Oct. 15, the 26th annual heifer sale by Blair Athol, Haroldson and friends was held with nearly 70 registered polled Hereford weanlings and heifers offered. The cattle were housed close to the shop for potential buyers to view the docile breed. As people entered the corrals, these heifers barely moved and continued to munch down on their hay as they were viewed. Duncan and Jeff Lees have a large, heated shop which is converted into a sales ring just for this event. Black curtains sep-

arated the sales ring from the eating area while people socialized. Upon entering the building, folks were asked to sign the guest book, so the family could look back to see where all the people came from. Bidders from Wisconsin, Montana, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Manitoba attended the sale, but bidding on line was from all over Canada and the United States. Lunch was prepared by Weir’s Catering, and everyone was encouraged to fill their stomach with roast beef and enjoy some cooling beverages. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming as people chatted. Some of them only see each other once a year at the sale. Casey van Kessel from Barrie, Ont., has been attending for 20

He was planning on possibly purchasing a heifer which would remain on the farm. A man from Eritrea, Africa came the furthest. He came to visit his daughter, who lives in Regina, and they felt it would be a good experience to attend such a sale with Duncan’s daughter

Lynn. Duncan welcomed everyone to what was called Super Sunday, as this is one of three sales that are held in a row and in the area. Jeff gave his father Duncan a great deal of credit for all the work he does on the farm, while Jeff goes out to work. Jeff thanked his parents and family for all their support. Jeff went on to say that Chad and Lenna

Wilson from Haroldson’s Polled Herefords set the bar high for their exceptional cattle. The crowd took their seats, as Chris Poley from Saskatoon took his place at the auctioneers microphone, while Ben Wright and Shane Mickelson took to the floor watching for bids. Poley is from T Bar C Cattle Co Ltd., and he brings a whole crew for the three sales here called the Saskatch-

ewan Sweepstakes. As the gates opened and the first set of weanlings entered the ring like old pros, the sale began. The two animals brought in $31,000 each. Every aspect of the sale is covered: trucking, vet checks to ensure the animal is healthy, pregnancy checks for an estimated date on calving, insurance and hotels for those from afar.

Carnduff students are thinking outside of the box System Goal No. 2 for the South East Cornerstone Public School Division may appear to be somewhat grandiose since it calls for students to achieve at high levels. But what the division’s board members heard and saw on Oct. 11 was a prime example of what might happen within this educational structure when young minds are let loose to explore and explain under the guidance of caring educators. Encouragement from within the local communities also helps significantly and all those factors came into play when two young students from the Carnduff Education Complex made their presentation to the board on Oct. 11 during the board’s regular open business session. Science teacher Jessica Morland introduced students Wyatt Thompson and Logan Stewart and provided an outline of their project. She said the duo has worked on a portable irrigation system that can address the needs for more efficient crop development not only in Canada, but globally. Thompson and Stewart explained in some detail how their invention caught the eyes of judges at local science fairs and earned them a place at a

Students Wyatt Thompson and Logan Stewart, along with teacher Jessica Morland from the Carnduff Education Complex. Photo courtesy of South East Cornerstone Western Canadian science fair in Edmonton. “We could only afford to enter one project and two students for Edmonton,” Morland said. Purposes, hypothesis, procedures, data analysis and traditional uses were all displayed by the two, who entered the competition that featured over 30 other entries in the agriculture, fish and food category. The portable system explains itself in its name. That means being able to move an irrigation system easily from quarter sections of land (or less) with little hassle, while covering 15 per cent more crop land once it is in place. The movement of

the equipment is made easier, thanks to a hydraulic telescopic system that allows for wheels that aren’t required for transportation to be lifted, while irrigation pipelines are reduced in size telescopically for easier delivery. They addressed the problem of “how will this tie in with needs now,” said Morland, who brought posters of the invention while the two students showed the board members a model of what they hope to build into a prototype model for future experiments. According to Thompson, the more flexible system allows water to reach “the corners” of cropped land that are always

missed by traditional irrigation systems. “It works the same as a central pivot model, but can navigate to the next field. The telescope system comes out and you can keep spraying. A sixsection model can cover a quarter section of land,” Thompson said. The two young men said they were in contact with the Estevan-based Southeast Techhub and its mentor and leader, Gordon More. When contacted by phone, More said he became aware of the project through the Cornerstone Science Fair. “The project ticked so many boxes,” he said. “It said to me this was more than just a project,

it was also what they are as people. I see potential in people and their product.” In a geographic area that may not always be seen as being conducive to experimental growth in southern Saskatchewan, this project is one of several that have been uncovered, he said. “We want to create a space for them, support the technology and provide the opportunity to support them as a community,” More added. “People like that are the dreamers. They want to create and we have to nurture that.” Choosing a product development that could potentially go globally is a positive factor, More added. “With the chaos in climate, farmers need ways to get stabilization and I can see global potential. It’s more than Saskatchewan or Canada. There are other places in the world with problems you have to overcome as you design it to meet these problems.” The oil and gas industries have provided several examples of advancement over the decades, he suggested. “Interacting with them has been tons of fun,” More said. Potential funding through grants or other means are now being ex-

plored, said Thompson and Stewart. Board chairwoman Audrey Trombley said she was impressed with the positivity that was brought to the conference room by the Carnduff trio. Based on More’s assessment, Thompson said they are more keenly aware of food shortage issues and proper land use in dry areas around the globe. Stewart added that a GPS tracking system keeps users on target in the field, making for more efficacy in operations. “We have to get this into a production stage, a working model,” said Thompson. The trio also addressed concerns regarding patents, along with protecting their research and development at this stage. “There is a lot more creativity out there that we are missing,” said Morland, in concluding the presentation. She also had noted earlier that while she felt the irrigation system warranted further attention in the immediate future, the two young men had also developed and built a heavy lift model they called the Quick Lift, that could operate in tight spaces where traditional machinery such as forklifts couldn’t get into.

Long-time coach hired to guide Carlyle Cougars The Carlyle Cougars have turned to an long-time coach in southeast Saskatchewan hockey circles to guide the team during the 2023-24 Big Six Hockey League season. Brad Pierson has been hired as the Cougars' head coach. While this will be his first head coaching gig in the Big Six, he brings more than 20 years of coaching experience. Pierson started coaching youth teams in Estevan when he was 16 years old. Two years later, he had his own youth team and then resurrected the Estevan U18 AA Bruins program in 1996. He spent a couple

of years as an assistant coach with the Estevan Bruins junior team, then bounced around different levels of teams. He's been out of coaching for the past eight years while he focused on his family. Pierson is looking forward to getting back into coaching. "I've always preferred [coaching] the older age groups, but just haven't been looking hard or looking at all. When this opportunity arose, and then combined with both of my kids now being done their collegiate sports careers, it just made it a bit easier," said Pierson.

Pierson said he decided to coach the Cougars after chatting with long-time friend and veteran Cougars' defenceman Tyler Fleck, whom Pierson coached with the Estevan Bruins. "I've been friends with him for the last 25 years, and with his family, and he mentioned it [the Cougars' coaching vacancy] in the spring and revisited it a couple of weeks ago," said Pierson. "It caught my attention and it started to look interesting, so it came together." Pierson had a taste of coaching in the Big Six nearly

20 years ago when he helped out with the Bienfait Coalers, and it was different than coaching young players. But even in his first meetings with the Cougars, the players were receptive to him and he's excited about the potential for the team. "I went and watched all the Cougars' .... provincial home games, and watched a few other league games during the year," Pierson said. So many players that he has coached over the years are still in the Big Six, so Pierson follows the league because he wants to know how

they are doing. Pierson believes the Cougars look very strong, and the players are excited to have him there. The Cougars finished sixth in the league standings last season with a 9-10-1 record. They were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Moosomin Rangers The Cougars added some players for provincials and made it to the Sask. senior B final, falling to Wadena. Carlyle will open the 2023-24 regular season on Nov. 3, when they host the Midale Mustangs at 8 p.m.

One person dead, five injured after collision by Kisbey The RCMP says one person died and five were injured in a three-vehicle collision that occurred Thursday on Highway 13 by Kisbey. Carlyle RCMP responded to a multi-vehicle collision at about 6:40 a.m. Police officers, firefighters from Kisbey and Stoughton, local EMS and the STARS Air Ambulance immediately responded. Preliminary investigation determined an SUV and a truck collided. After the initial report, an additional call for service was received advising a car had struck

the initial collision scene. The specific details of the investigation, including directions of travel, are currently being investigated by an RCMP collision reconstructionist. The truck had three occupants. The driver, a 31-year-old man from Redvers, was declared deceased at the scene by EMS. His family has been notified and Victim Services has been engaged to provide support. The two passengers were taken to hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening by the RCMP. Initial investigation

determined the SUV had two occupants from the Weyburn area. The driver was transported to hospital by STARS with injuries described as serious in nature. The passenger was transported to hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening. The lone driver of the car was transported to hospital with injuries described as non-lifethreatening. The Carlyle RCMP continue to investigate with the assistance of Saskatchewan RCMP collision reconstruction and the Saskatchewan Coroners Service.

Oxbow finishes third at cross-country provincials The Oxbow Prairie Horizons School had plenty of representatives at the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association’s provincial crosscountry competition on Oct. 14 in Regina. The school’s Black Knights finished third in the 3A division with 123 points. A total of 13 runners represented the school. “I’m very happy overall with how the team performed,” said coach Clarke Tavanetz. Oxbow had 14 runners at the high school level this year. Four more in elementary school competed with the team this year but weren’t eligible for provincials. Tavanetz said he is proud of all of the athletes on the team, but perhaps his proudest moment came when one athlete recorded a personal best by about five minutes from her previous time. Her grin was so wide upon finishing. While Oxbow is far from the largest school in the southeast, it had the most athletes of any school in the region at provincials.

“We just, over the past few years, have really developed a strong cross-country program here,” said Tavanetz. “We have some very motivated high school kids who have really taken it upon themselves to train and develop and become great cross-country runners.” Oxbow hosted districts at Bow Valley Park for the second straight year. Tavanetz described it as a very challenging course that gives Oxbow a home-course advantage with all of the hills. Runners from other schools are used to flatter circuits. The site that hosted crosscountry provincials was largely flat with just one hill. “They called it a sprinter’s course, so the times are extremely fast, but the level of competition you get, especially from Regina and Saskatoon, is top-notch,” he said. Tavanetz noted Oxbow has tried to host provincials in the past but their bid was denied. With the proximity to Estevan, Carnduff and Carlyle to Oxbow, he believes there would

When they competed at provincials last year, they had to stay in a hotel in Humboldt and then travel 80 minutes to a facility near Melfort. “We look forward to bidding in the future so we can show off our cross-country course,” said Tavanetz. The team’s core runners

this year are all in Grade 12, but they have some other young athletes who are ready to step up. “This is our third consecutive bronze medal in the 3A category, so hopefully with the success we’ve had the last few years, these students will see that and want to join crosscountry and continue the success.”

Members who competed at provincials were Mercedes Irwin, Mary-Lee McNeil, Alivia Schulhauser, Scarlett Mercer, Olivia Fonstad and Sam Carritt (senior girls); Graeme Bank, Khalifa Elshein, Dorian Sifton and Nolan Folkerts (senior boys); Peyton Irwin (junior girls); Isabella Beriault (intermediate girls); and Jhafet Julian (intermediate boys).

Jim McKenzie gets his day with the Stanley Cup For the second time, Carlyle’s Jim McKenzie had a day with the Stanley Cup. McKenzie, who is a scout with the Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights, spent time with the NHL’s beloved championship

trophy on Monday. He picked up the trophy in Regina and then brought it to Estevan so his family in the Estevan area could spend time with it. Among the highlights was bringing it to Willy’s The Tap House, giving people a chance

to have their photo taken with the trophy. The Stanley Cup was then taken to the Estevan Regional Airport so that it could be flown to Flin Flon, Man., so Erin Ginnell, another member of the Knights’ scouting staff, could have a day

with the trophy. McKenzie has been part of the Knights’ scouting staff since the 2016-17 season, the year before the Knights entered the NHL. He played 880 games in the NHL, recording 48 goals and 52

assists to go along with 1,739 penalty minutes with nine different NHL teams. He also won the Stanley Cup as a player in 2003 with the New Jersey Devils. That summer, he brought the Stanley Cup home to his

hometown of Carlyle as part of a big community bash. McKenzie was born in Gull Lake. His family moved to Carlyle when he was young and he played much of his developmental hockey in the town.

Celebrating Co-op Week in Saskatchewan Article courtesy of Canada Co-op Co-operatives and Mutuals Canada (CMC) is an association, focused on its members, that unites, engages and leads the co-operative movement by advancing its priorities nationally, as well as internationally, through the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA). Our goals are to build bridges, break barriers and create durable opportunities for the co-operative sector in Canada. Co-op Week is a time to reflect on the contributions the cooperative sector has made to the lives of Ca-

nadians, and celebrate the impact that cooperatives have in our communities. Co-op Week activities are held all across the country. Saskatchewan co-ops and credit unions are strong supporters of Co-op Week and don't hesitate to show their co-op pride. We use the week to celebrate our unique business model and the contributions of co-op members, as well as to proudly promote ourselves. Co-op Week has been proclaimed across Canada every October since 1982. Co-op Week is always held from the Sunday to the Saturday of the week in which International

Credit Union Day – the third Thursday of October – falls. Learn more about 2023 national Co-op Week activities from the Co-operatives and Mutuals Canada website. CMC is proud to once again celebrate Co-op Week. This year's theme is Co-operating on Climate Action. Recent years have shown that it’s vital for Canadian co-operatives and mutuals to be leaders in climate action. “At our 2023 congress, we had a session focused solely on the topic of climate action,” said CMC executive director Hugues Bourgeois. “The panel was an impressive success and generated a great deal of interest among participants. "To continue this important discussion, we thought it would be appropriate to highlight the importance of the fight against climate change through the theme of Co-op Week. It is together, as a movement, that we can find and share reliable solutions to serve our communities and our planet.” CMC highlighted

this very special week with some events and an online contest Oct. 18 on how co-ops can overcome barriers to taking climate action. It is no longer possible to put off confronting the realities of the climate crisis. This online panel brought co-ops of vari-

ous sizes from different sectors. Each co-op faces unique challenges specific to their industry, but also holds similar opportunities for leveraging larger networks of support for sharing knowledge and resources. Facilitated by Carol Fraser, senior consul-

tant and analyst with Sustainability Solutions Group, this conversation explored goals, strategies and dilemmas that cooperatives face in operationalizing a commitment to emissions reduction and adapting to increasing climate hazards.

Look Good, Feel Good (LGFG) is a program offered to women after they have surgery to help them feel better about themselves. The Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation supplies all the makeup for this program, which is now in 27 countries around the world. Sunita Prasad from Mississauga, Ont., was the spokesperson for Mary Kay. She said that women who attended the LGFG program often come out smiling and laughing, as they have the opportunity to be with other people who have had the same experience as them. Eighty-six per cent of the women that go to this love the program and feel that it has helped them. Before supper was over, a cake donated by Cathy Burton came up for auction. The towering pumpkin spice, chocolate cake with brown sugar icing was sold with Colleen Bennett acting as the auctioneer. As she had the crowd laughing, bidders also eagerly raised their hands, and the final bid was $375 from Teresa

Darlene Olsen welcomed the large crowd for the Creative Tables event held in Arcola. Photo by Stephanie Zoer Dyck from Rising Hope Ranch by Arcola. It was now time to play heads or tails. This game had the crowd placing their hands either on their heads or butts. A coin was tossed and if heads was turned up, the people with their hands on their heads sat down. When a few people remained, they came to the front of the group and continued playing until there was a winner. Laura Kidd won a pink child’s car donated by Carlyle’s Merit Ford. This game was played twice more, with Roxanne Waelchli winning the Moose Jaw Mineral Spa package and Judy Eaton taking home a $595 purse donated by Mary Kay.

On the south wall in the complex, tables lined the wall with donations for a silent auction. These tables saw regular visits as people could bid throughout the evening. Nicole Currie presented Olsen with a bouquet of flowers for her dedicated work to this worthy cause, saying that Olsen is a support of light to many. Nora Yeates from the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan gave a brief speech on upcoming initiatives, such as the rural bus that badly needed repairs. She announced that a new $2 million bus was on its way. The previous breast cancer bus was over 20 years old and had leaks in the roof, limited air

When a person goes through cancer, this affects the whole family and at times this causes a great strain on the family's finances.

Tables, decorated with themes for Halloween, farming, movie night and more, set the mood for the Creative Tables fundraiser. This was the 14th annual event created by Darlene Olsen, an ambassador for the Look Good, Feel Good program. It was held on Oct. 12 at the Arcola Prairie Place Complex. Olsen said she sticks with things she loves, which includes working with Mary Kay for 44 years, and being married to Allen for 38 years. She has volunteered with Look Good, Feel Good in Regina for 26 years and has now spent 14 years with Creative Tables, and she loves them all. Several raffle draws began the evening, with Olsen insisting that the winners jump for joy

and run to the front while cheering. Tables of eight or 10 were sold months in advance, with the host of each table coming up with the theme. When the theme is decided, the other guests at the table dress accordingly. The host will decorate the table in the theme and provide gifts for the guests. Supper was prepared and catered by Steve and Allison Massel from Lampman and the host served the table. Although the event was not sold out, they had a great crowd of people. To quench everyone’s thirst, the Arcola Optimist Club took care of the bar and any other jobs that needed to be done throughout the evening. The event is to show support for men and women who have experi-

Pickleball is growing in many small communities By Stephanie Zoer Pickleball has been around since 1965 and began in Bainbridge Island, Wash. The game is fairly easy to learn with a 34-inch net, along with paddles that are slightly lighter and shorter than a tennis racket. It is played with a perforated ball that is made of hollow plastic, which does not bounce as high as a tennis ball, making it easier to hit. Singles or doubles may be played, and scoring is done when an infraction is committed by an opponent. Stoughton started a pickleball league last year and according to Judy Graham, the sports is a great deal of fun. To get the league started, Paul and Brenda Milatz came

out to help them set up. This year the league began on Oct. 1 with 14 players signing up, but they would like to see the league grow. They play Sundays at the Stoughton Central School from 2-4 p.m. They picked Sundays as the school is less likely to be used. Last year the Town of Stoughton gave the league a grant to purchase some equipment, which gave them the opportunity to buy a net, eight rackets and eight balls, which are kept at the school. Trevor Bennett from Regina will host a clinic at the school on Nov. 5. Bennett has been successful in having the sport return to 85 communities, and his goal is to reach 100 municipalities. No special equipment is

needed for the player to start except for non-slip, nonmarking running shoes. The rest is supplied. They would love to see younger people that are over the age of 18 come out and try the sport. “The cost is low,” said Graham, and they split the season up, with one half from October until the end of December, and a new season in January until spring. They have done it this way as several of the players go south in the winter and they did not want to charge them for not playing. When the year is over, any extra funds are donated to the school for sports equipment. “For a fun afternoon, come out and try a game of pickleball,” said Graham.

Speaker urges crowd to go and get checked « A8 in July when they removed more tissue. She had surgery again on Oct. 16 to have a mastectomy. Amy’s message to the crowd was very clear: go and get checked. It is so important if they find the cancer early. Her friend went for testing and the news was not good. After this Amy underwent testing to find out she also had cancer. “We have a choice

People shouldn’t worry about the days that have not come yet, she said. Some things can’t be changed, so what we have now should be enjoyed.

End-of-life doula provides service in emotional time By Stephanie Zoer Nobody really wants to think about death, but it is one thing in life that cannot be avoided. Cindi McAuley is an end-of-life doula and end-of-life planner, and she wants to make this process easier for everyone. Often an end-of-life doula will offer support to a person and their family after the diagnosis of a terminal illness, and assist them with daily living, offering a unique and gentle approach to death. McAuley has worked in long-term health care for close to 30 years, including working at the Allan Blair Cancer Unit in Regina. Her family has been in health care in one way or another. In 1997 when McAuley’s mother became ill, as a family they cared for her and fulfilled her wishes to pass away at home surrounded by loved ones.

It was after this that she decided she wanted to help families with these difficult decisions, nearing the end of one’s life. In 2019, McAuly took an international course called end-of-life doula. The program was 10 months long and included several exams. At the time, there were no courses such as this in Canada, but that has changed in the last few years. Living in Kenosee, McAuley will travel to Carlyle, Maryfield, Moosomin, Alameda, Gainsborough and all the places in between to help families. Doulas are extra support for families and facilities that need help to alleviate some of the daily stresses. McAuley explained they have conversations with the patient and their family, guiding them through their journey and beyond.

She said they are a safe place for them to share their fears, regrets, hopes, wishes and expectations. This allows the patient to have a sense of control and dignity. Doulas can also work with the patient’s physician and home-care team when applicable. They do not make any decisions related to end-of-life care for the patient directly, nor will they project their own beliefs. They are to always remain non-judgmental. McAuley is not only a certified doula, but she is also a member of the End of Life Doula Association of Saskatchewan and Canada,, as well is a member of the Saskatchewan Hospice Palliative Care Association. There are a handful of doulas in Regina, but she is unaware of any in the southeast. The End of Life Planner is a workbook that she has created to help people

be better prepared in the event something unexpected should happen. McAuley asks the questions in the planner and the blanks are filled in by the person. This planner stays with the person, and it leaves no guesswork for family if they would need to speak on the family members’ behalf. Home care is also available through her services called Love’s Final Journey. Some people do not quality for homecare or the extra help, and this is where she comes in to play. She will help prepare meals, travel with patients to appointments and do wellness checks. She is honoured to assist with legacy projects such as leaving a video, keepsakes for loved ones, or a written card or letter for someone special. “Everyone deserves the same,” said McAuley, “As we are all going to die.”

Cindi McAuley is one of the few end-of-life doulas in the southeast. Photo courtesy of Cindi McAuley She feels no one should die alone and she feels honoured to be asked to sit with a someone when family is not able to attend. “With hospitals and long-term care facilities

extremely busy and are unable to dedicate the time we feel our loved ones need and deserve in their final stages,” McAuley said. “We come to you in Love’s Final Journey.”

Melanie Brimner looks to help with Heart Two Heart By Stephanie Zoer Seniors want to stay in their own homes as long as possible, but sometimes they just need to have a little extra help and family cannot be there all the time. Melanie Brimner wants to assist people with her business, Heart Two Heart Home Care. Raised in the Wawota area, Brimner always enjoyed talking with the seniors. When she graduated high school, she decided

on a different path and became a hairdresser. She did this for several years, but once Brimner became a mom, she stayed home to raise her three children, Blake, Brayanne and Blaine Lamontagne. Brimner’s children are now adults. Blake just set a world record for waterskiing, Brayanne has a degree in early childhood development, and Blaine, who has a degree in agronomy just got married to Alison Bowey. Brimner also has six

grandchildren. For six years, Brimner has been working with seniors and loves every minute of it. She achieved her continuing care assistant degree, which helps in assisting people to remain independent and possibly in their own homes or to assist those who face physical or mental health challenges. Brimner is also a health-care cook. This program allows her to prepare nutritional meals and snacks, while offer-

ing clients food they enjoy that is healthy. After having some back issues, Brimner was unable to return to her job and needed to re-evaluate her work, and since she loves working with seniors, she decided to offer private home care. Her services will take her to Moosomin, Redvers, Wawota, Carlyle and other areas. She feels it is a muchneeded service in the area and it will give families peace of mind knowing she is doing wellness checks, as sometimes that is all that is needed.

Some people do not meet the criteria to get assistance, and this is where private home care comes into play. Brimner feels that seniors should not have to give up there home because they cannot find someone to help them. Some do not have family in the area or others may only need a visit here and there. Brimner is excited to start this new chapter in her life. She will offer home cooking, take clients to appointments, help with grocery shopping and

perform hair care. She is passionate about her job and looks forward to helping those that could use assistance. “You could be having the worst day, and they make you smile and laugh, and make you forget all your worries,” Brimner said. “It is a rewarding job.” “The rewards they give back are priceless,” she added. “They give so much of themselves to everyone around them.” She looks forward to giving those who need more independence and a little extra care.

Seven signs your child might be bullied Bullying continues to be a major problem across the country. One out of every five students reports being bullied, although many people do not admit to it occurring, so bullying might be even more prevalent than statistics indicate. The primary reasons for being bullied include physical appearance, race/ ethnicity, gender, disability, religion and sexual orientation. In the past, bullying may have ceased when students left school. But since the internet and digital devices provide round-the-clock exposure and access, bullying now takes places even after school hours through social media posts and texts. Students who experience bullying may be susceptible to anxiety, depression, sleep

difficulties, lower academic achievement and dropping out of school. Discovering the signs of bullying early on may help students get the help they need. Parents and other adults may not be sure how to identify signs a child is being bullied. Here are seven signs that could indicate a child is being bullied. Reluctance to go to school: Students being bullied might make excuses to stay home, such as saying they are sick. Frequent calls for early pickups also might occur. Mood changes: Children may appear sad, moody, teary or depressed more often than usual. Changes in friendships: Loss or changes of friends could be signs of bullying. A reluctance to hang out in

a once familiar social circle could signal bullying is taking place within that group. Bad dreams or trouble sleeping: Bullying could cause worry at night or subconsciously while a child is dreaming, interrupting sleeping patterns. Intense emotional reactions: These reactions to school or social activities could be indicators that bullying is occurring. Although children may not always be able to articulate their feelings, excessive emotions concerning certain topics may be red flags. Signs of physical abuse: By and large, a majority of bullying tends to lean toward the verbal and emotional. However, bruises, cuts, scratches, torn clothing or missing property might be indicators of physical bully-

There are ways to detect whether bullying is occurring. Photo by Halfpoint Images / Moment / Getty Images ing.

Withdrawal from devices: Students being bullied online or over social media may decide not to use mobile phones or gaming systems as frequently as they once did.

Maintaining an open dialogue with a child may help him or her feel more comfortable, which can lead to the child sharing details of bullying at school or elsewhere.

How can parents prevent bullying? Bullying affects children from all walks of life. Whether the student is on the receiving end of bullying or is the aggressor, parents and other adults will sometimes need to step in to provide assistance. Although there is no magic formula to preventing bullying, parents can do their part to put a stop to such behaviours. •Parent authoritatively: An authoritative style of parenting offers high levels of warmth, love and closeness, while at the same time

providing clear limits and high expectations. Children who are raised with this type of parenting often fare the best with better mental health and stronger relationship skills. Children who are parented harshly may be more likely to become bullies or be bullied themselves. •Be knowledgeable and observant: Parents, teachers and administrators should keep their eyes peeled for bullying behaviours and reactions. Various signs indicate bully-

ing is taking place, and these include being introverted, commonly reporting illness, withdrawing from daily activities, or having trouble sleeping. •Nurture a positive household climate: Parents and other family members can work

together at home to create an organized and predictable environment. Parents should model the type of behaviour they want their children to express. •Teach children coping skills: Practise scenarios at home where a child learns

how to ignore a bully or develop assertive strategies for coping with bullying. Share who children can go to for help, apart from you, such as teachers or administrators, if they’re worried about being bullied. •Set technology

boundaries: Bullying can take place on social media, and by monitoring online activity, parents may be able to head off potential bullying problems. Document online bullying so it can be addressed with administrators or law enforcement.

Carlyle library remains a busy place By Stephanie Zoer Wayne Wilson is the 2023-24 president of the Carlyle District Lions Club. Wilson said each year they make donations to organizations to help them offset costs or to make purchases that are otherwise not covered. The Lions also help groups that have a lot going on, such as the Dickens Village Festival Committee. Each year the Dickens Festival hosts judging for the best-decorated home at Christmas time and this year the Lions decided to do the judging for them to take a little off the committee’s plate. This will take place the weekend of the festival. They donate to the Carlyle & District Food Bank each year so the volunteers can purchase the necessities that are not donated.

Another organization that benefits from the Lions is the Carlyle Public Library, as they received a $5,000 donation. Naomi Twietmeyer is the Carlyle branch librarian, and she is grateful for the funds. Twietmeyer has held this position for 1 1/2 years, and she loves her job as she enjoys offering the many activities that the library provides. During her tenure, she realized the library needed books that were inclusive, intergenerational and cross-cultural. She explained that Carlyle and the surrounding areas have many different cultures, and they should all have the opportunity to receive books that are geared in their direction. Twietmeyer feels a library is meant for everyone, and all people should feel safe and welcome in one.

Carlyle and area people are very supportive of everyone, and this is how it should be, according to Twietmeyer. The library is only open 35 hours a week, and in the month of September nearly 1,000 books were checked out, giving the branch an average of 33 books per day leaving the library. She was unable to say the amount of people that come through the doors, but this is kept track at the head office on a quarterly basis. This proves that libraries are still very much in need and books regularly need to be updated. Over the years, books get damaged and need replacing. Recently an order for 47 books was placed at a cost of $1,200. Although paperback books are less expensive, hard copies have a longer lifespan and a higher price tag. Coming soon to the

In her search she tries to purchase local authors or books from Saskatchewan writers. If there is an author a person might be looking for, one simply needs to let Twietmeyer know.

It is Twietmeyer’s hope to have all people, of all ages, all cultures to feel at home in the library and most of all to feel safe and to be themselves no matter what they believe in.
