Justin Carrier turned to bucking broncos instead of bulls as he pursues his love of rodeo Justin Carrier did not grow up in a rodeo family, but this did not stop him from giving it a whirl. Carrier was born and raised in Eastern Townships, Que. While in the province, a friend of his asked if he wanted to ride bulls, as his friend’s dad had rodeoed some and knew where to start. After playing football and rugby, this was the next intense sport, and he was game. Before they even climbed on a bull, his friend lost interest, but Carrier continued to dig deeper into the sport. The more he looked into it, the more he realized that riding bucking horses interested him more than bulls. Carrier was 23 years old and attended clinics in St-Tite, Que., which was put on by Roger Lacasse a past Canadian champion. While remaining in Quebec, he went to his first rodeo at Ranch Gagnon, and he did not fare well at the event, but he rodeoed all summer long and won the novice finals. By this time his cousin and brother Ryan had moved to Arcola, and Justin Carrier came for a visit. He liked the area and decided to move to Arcola as well in 2015. He returned to Quebec in 2016, as he had enlisted into the Armed Forces. Once this was completed, he once again returned to Arcola and has stayed. Continuing to ride bucking broncs, he has entered the Arcola Rodeo, winning twice there, once for novice and the other in the open class. His team won the wild horse race one year. Attending as many rodeos as possible throughout the sum-

By Stephanie Zoer
Justin Carrier had a great ride while at the rodeo in Virden, Man., this past summer. Photo by Action Plus Photography mer, he won at the Wapella Rodeo this summer, and attends rodeos in Manitoba and North Dakota. He has been riding in the Canadian Cowboy Association ever since. The CCA is a major stepping stone for the careers of many professional rodeo champions and contestants attending the Canadian and National Finals Rodeo. It is also to help promote the sport to new members through the public and media. Carrier just returned from the CCA finals in Saskatoon but had a rough go at it. He was bucked off the horse in Round 1 but placed second in
the second round. In Round 3, the horse’s flank strap came off and he was awarded a reride. The flank strap is the belt around the horse in front of their hind legs. This strap is tightened when the horse leaves the chute, signaling the horse to buck. At any time during the eight seconds, this flank strap comes off, a reride is offered, and this is what Carrier had. It is also the strap that the pick-up riders unlatch to stop the horse from bucking. This strap does not harm the horse. The reride horse slammed Carrier’s head into the post on his way out of the chute and he
was bucked off. Carrier said, with a shot to the head like that, he decided to sit out the last round. His father Claude resides in Quebec, while his mother Joanne George moved out a year ago. Carrier is engaged to Alayna and has a two-year-old son. Carrier is a part owner of Eagle Overhead Doors in Arcola. It was not the ending that Carrier was hoping for, but he will return to his work and continue to put in overhead doors, and next year take to the rodeo circuit once again, hoping for a better year.

Poppy campaign for the Carlyle legion is underway By Doug Waldner Each year in late October, members of the Royal Canadian Legion in Carlyle and elsewhere embark upon the annual poppy campaign prior to Remembrance Day. The poppy campaign will end at the Remembrance Day ceremony, which in Carlyle will be held at the Carlyle Elementary School gym on Nov. 11, starting at 10:45 a.m. This year the annual poppy campaign started on Oct. 27. A week earlier, Canada’s ceremonial first poppy was presented to Governor General Mary Simon, who is also the commander-in-chief of the Canadian Armed Forces. That ceremony took place at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. Locally, a ceremonial Carlyle first poppy was presented to Mayor Jenn
Sedor by poppy committee chairman John Votour in the Moose Mountain Lodge on Oct. 27 at 10 a.m. Votour presented two other ceremonial poppies to Stephanie Paulley and Edna Zentner, who are widows of Second World War veterans and residents at the lodge. After the ceremonial poppies were presented, members of the Carlyle legion presented poppy stickers to other Moose Mountain Lodge residents. The poppy is an important symbol and the poppy campaign is an important event in the legion calendar. The poppy as a symbol was initiated by the poem In Flanders Fields by Dr. John McRae who wrote it on May 3, 1915, during the First World War. He wrote it after the funeral of a friend who had been

killed in the Second Battle of Ypres. The poem begins “In Flanders Fields the poppies blow beneath the crosses, row on row...” and became very popular during and after that war. On July 5, 1921, the Great War Veterans Association, the predecessor of the Royal Canadian Legion, adopted the poppy as the symbol of remembrance. The poppy campaign is conducted during the two weeks prior to Remembrance Day on Nov. 11, to raise awareness of veterans’ concerns, to raise funds by the Royal Canadian Legion so that veterans and their families may be assisted, and to encourage people to remember the sacrifices made by so many, in both wartime and peacetime, so that we may have the privileges that we enjoy. In every war, young men and women go to fight and support those who fight. They suffer wounds both physical and mental, and many, many die. Their sacrifices

Arcola Amazing Race has a successful turnout By Stephanie Zoer The Arcola branch of the Cornerstone Credit Union held its second annual Amazing Race on Oct. 21. Eleven teams with two people each participated, and 15 businesses donated to the event. Four local businesses were showcased this year: Arcola Agencies, Moose Mountain Hall for Wildlife, JJ Trucking and Farmhand Tattoos. Each business hosted a task that had something to do with their company. Arcola Agencies, being an insurance company, had impairment goggles at the Arcola School’s gymnasium. A special pair of goggles were worn by each member of the team. Once they man-
aged to get three balls into the basket at the back of a trike, they hopped on and began to peddle. While seeing double or triple images, they needed to peddle the trike between rows of plastic cups and bike to the end without touching the cups. If they did, they had to return to the start and begin again. Ready, set, aim was at the Moose Mountain Hall for Wildlife. Here they both had to score 31 points by using a bow and arrow. The target was marked with a point system and when they reached the score of 31, they could move on to the next event. Doug Jones, Cornerstone Credit Unions CEO, also came out to take part in the event and managed to get a bullseye when shooting.
Next up was the big wheel by JJ Trucking at the Optimist Hall. A special road was constructed by Harry Laurent from Arcola Building Supplies to simulate a Saskatchewan road. Loading four toy trucks onto a wagon, to simulate a flat deck, and using only one tie down, they pulled the wagon across the bumpy road without losing their load. This proved to be a little difficult. Farmhand Tattoos would get competitors inked, which took place at the credit union. Similar to a henna, each person received a tattoo that needed three colours. To add some life to the art, two glitter colours were needed. Trying to stay in the lines can be a task for some. Each team began at
different locations and were timed to make things fair. Nobody knew what the next event would be. Once completed, they were informed and moved on. They also did not know who the winner was until the end of the event, as it was timed. Couples could be seen running down Arcola streets to get to the next event as quickly as possible Lunch was provided by the Arcola Rodeo Committee and the Arcola Big Buck Night donated to the storage shed for this day as well. The winner’s plaque went to Mackenzie Perras and Sara Rissling from the Cornerstone Credit Union. Mary McNair, who worked at the contact centre for the CU, was very pleased with

by Beth Corrigan and Darlene Bennett. “The response we received was positive,” said McNair. “The weather was great, and everyone had a good time.”
What lurks in the dark at the Wawota Haunted Hotel By Stephanie Zoer The Wawota Haunted Hotel continues to grow every year and this year seemed to be better than ever. Originally starting as a Movember fundraiser in 2016, it turned out to be a success and is still running six years later. Kayla Porter, Danni Dennis, Lynette Coffey, Michelle Klein, friends and numerous volunteers make the hotel possible. It is now the biggest annual fundraiser
for groups such as the town’s curling rink, daycare and arena. They have also been able to donate monetary awards to three students from the Wawota Parkland School. To date, the haunted hotel has donated $16,000 back into the community. According to Klein, it is not only the volunteers that help, but the entire community also gets involved. “Wawota rocks,” said Klein. What Lurks in the Dark haunted hotel was

located beside Front Porch Interiors, which remained open late for people who were waiting for their turn and gave them something to do. The Front Porch Interiors was having their closing-out sale during this time. For the past six years the organizers have tried different techniques on how to apply the special FX makeup to make horrifying faces. This hotel is not for the faint of heart, as the costumes and makeup are lifelike and the rooms are dark with only a little light shining in. Oct. 20, 21 and 28 were evening shows and could be pre-
booked. These evenings had all the gory details. The first weekend had 434 people come to be entertained and scared. The following weekend did not go as the volunteers had planned. Oct. 29 was to be the Monster Mash – an afternoon show set aside for a family event. The lights were to be kept brighter for the kids and the makeup was toned down to not scare the people too much. A visual tour could also be booked to see what kind of work went into this massive Halloween display. But the kids’ and virtual tour needed to be cancelled due to a family emer-
gency for the Haunted Hotel. The final numbers
of those that attended was not immediately available.

Watch out for wildlife when on the road By Lori Hoffort Although it is recommended to be particularly cautious during the fall and spring months, caution and attention are necessary year-round. SGI manager of media relations Tyler McMurchy touched on several important recommendations and statistics. Every year SGI reports $100 million in claims involving collisions with wildlife. As well as several hundred injuries each year because of these occurrences. He further stated that there are 500-600 moose collisions per year and approximately 1,000 deer collisions each month. Birds and other wildlife are responsible for numerous impacts with vehicles, too. During spring, the deer and moose come
out of the bush to escape the biting insects and to enjoy the salt that has settled in the ditches from the previous winter. Such proximity to the roadway poses a threat due to the unpredictability of these large animals. Moose tend to be fearless and often remain still even when approached by a vehicle. In the fall, the prerut begins in September and can last up to two months. The rut itself refers to a period when the females go into heat and the males become competitive, seeking to breed. Generally, it lasts a further six weeks. During these highly active times, mating is a driving force that further adds to the risk on the road. As these large animals become singleminded. Any inborn sense of caution tends
to take a back seat to mating. McMurchy continued that the prevalent times for accidents occur at dawn and dusk. He recommends that drivers remain vigilant no matter the time of any drive. McMurchy added that the best way to avoid the likelihood of these accidents is to develop the habit of scanning the road shoulder to shoulder, especially in the yellow caution sign areas and any areas of previous sightings or actual hazards. At night motorists should look for glowing eyes and always be aware that if you see one, there are likely more to follow. He further stated that the driver should aim for the direction of the animal’s entrance onto the roadway if it is safe to do so. Never swerve into
Wawota news - recent happenings in the town By Myrna Olson Marilyn Bourgon passed away at Deer View Lodge on Oct. 20. She was 80 years old. She was predeceased by her husband Cliff and her daughter Debra and is survived by Kathy (McNeil), Dwayne and Doug (Cynthia) and their families. Her funeral was at the Wawota Town Hall on Oct. 26 with interment in the Wawota Community Cemetery. Sympathy to all family and friends. Happy birthday to Gloria Edwards, whose 80th birthdaywas on Oct. 25. Gloria is a former Wawota resident who moved to Edmonton last year to be closer to her family.

on-coming traffic to avoid the collision. This manoeuvre may mitigate the severity of the crash with a glancing blow rather than a direct impact. He also said that letting up on the brake in the seconds prior to the crash can help to prevent the animal from going through the windshield. This action lifts the front of the vehicle at the last second. McMurchy concluded that if the damage precludes the further operation of the vehicle, as safely as possible, pull off to the shoulder or nearest approach and turn on your hazard lights. If it is possible, illuminate the animal to alert other drivers. Call the

vehicle is still drivable, continue your travel and once in a safe and stable location, contact the authorities and SGI.

Communities are keeping busy with local events By Lori Hoffort There is a wealth of talent and entrepreneurial representatives out there. This time of year often brings out the best of both worlds. This year is no exception. Local groups from various communities are preparing to offer people choice and variety at local events. As well, there are groups dedicated to sharing musical and theatrical gifts to their audiences. The annual Langbank Craft Sale is set to take place. Forty-six tables have registered so far. The funds raised from the event will go towards the upkeep, maintenance and utilities for the Langbank Recreation Centre. Gayleen Gurr of the Langbank Rec Board welcomes everyone to come out and enjoy the varied assortment of talent and products. Gurr also mentioned the lunch will be beef on a bun and homemade pies. There is no admission fee. Kipling’s Holiday Craft Fair is set for early December. This year there are two buildings offering a plethora of local artisans’ wares and home businesses. The proceeds from the fair will benefit the band program at the high school. The students enjoy trips in the spring. Every four years, the seniors enjoy a trip to the mountains for skiing. The band is planning to offer the community Christmas and spring concerts.
The Kipling and District Arts Council has a small but varied schedule for this year’s concert series. Mona Lynn Stender and public relations representative Cheryl Ferch mentioned the continued efforts of the board to bring in wonderful talent to showcase and promote for the town and district to enjoy. They encourage patrons to consider gifting tickets this Christmas for the upcoming shows. They recognize the struggle the group has encountered since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales are slower for both the presenters and entertainers alike. Stender and Ferch shared that the council is extremely appreciative of the interest and support that the area has shown throughout the years. The first in this year’s series was a duo that offered outstanding musicianship. Kinjo & Young is comprised of two accomplished musicians. Their combined talents held the audience with beautiful songwriting and sweet harmony. Comments left on the council’s Facebook page applauded their talents and overall performance. The second offering for audiences to enjoy is Jake Vaadeland & the Sturgeon River Boys. They are set to perform in mid-January. Their music blends of ‘50s rockabilly and bluegrass tones have earned them several prestigious Saskatchewan music awards. In
Kinjo and Young put on a terrific show for the Kipling-area patrons. Photo courtesy of the Kipling and District Arts Council the spirit of the Grand Ole Opry, the show offers something for everyone to enjoy. The season will be rounded out with a performance from Jack Garton. Garton’s show is scheduled in April. Audiences will be treated to a varied musical repertoire. Skillful with many instruments, Garton will take spectators on a journey full of emotion and talent. Garton works as a gravedigger at times. He shares stories from his unusual part-time
job set in the range of blues and folk songs. His original songs will have people up and moving throughout the night. He has a lot to say and backs his performance with a rhythm section. His tunes will follow people home and they will be humming along. Kipling also offers a winter dance club that meets Sunday afternoons. They meet twice a month except for December. Live music is provided by various musicians from around the
province. Everyone is welcome to come out and enjoy the music and motion. The Moose Mountain Players are offering a rousing production of Captain Bree and her Lady Pirates. Come out and enjoy the musical theatre that offers local humour based loosely on the Kenosee area. The productions are slated for mid-November at the Kenosee Rec Hall. Tickets are still available for the Thursday and Friday shows.

A variety of prizes were handed out. This 23rd edition of the event brought in approximately $10,000 for the Alida Rec. Board. Much appreciation goes out to everyone – planners, volunteers, donors, workers, participants and especially to all who came to support us.

It’s Hunting Season
Darrell Arndt has a different approach when hunting By Stephanie Zoer Darrell Arndt has hunted for a long time, and it is usually wild game that fills his freezer. Arndt was raised with his seven siblings on a family farm south of Arcola by his father Richard and his stepmother Carol. He attended and graduated from Arcola School. He works for Crescent Point Energy as the yard supervisor east of Stoughton, and has remained in the area, living in Arcola. When he was 18 years old, Arndt began to hunt and took down his first white-tail deer. To hunt in Saskatchewan, a licence is required and if one receives the draw, a draw licence is required for that as well. According to Arndt, 100,000 hunters apply for the draw each year, to be eligible to hunt moose, elk, mule deer or antelope, and it usually takes four-plus years to get this draw. Each year, if a person’s name is not drawn, it goes into the advanced pool for the next year. Arndt continued to be an avid hunter, although his life would change and so would his hunting style.
Twenty-three years ago, Arndt was in a single-vehicle crash that left him paralyzed, but it did not stop him from enjoying the sport that he grew to love. Arndt hunts from his truck, which requires a permit, and the hot and cold temperatures bother him, so his time outside is limited. It is also difficult for him to maneuver his wheelchair in the wild. He always hunts with a friend, as it would not be possible for him to do this on his own. Hunting for him is a way to fill his freezer and he usually only has wild game in it. “The different things one sees outdoors is also a big draw,” he said. “These things can not be enjoyed staying indoors.” His hunting takes him throughout the southeast corner of Saskatchewan, but while he was hunting north of Forget he landed a white-tail deer that scored just over 200 in 1999. When Arndt receives a draw, he tends to go west, near Shaunavon and Eastend, but once again his big game would be snagged north of Arco-
Darrell Arndt got this elk in 2019 north of Arcola and it scored 300. Photo courtesy of Darrell Arndt la: an elk in 2019 with a 300 score. After the hunt, there is always a social element. They make sausage and share their hunting stories from the year. “It is a big part of the experience,” said Arndt. Each year he attends the Arcola Big Buck Night, which he says is an experience in itself. If Arndt has a chance, he also hunts upland game birds, but only when he has time.
He has no interest in hunting bear, but one day plans to go on a wild boar hunt. For 18 years, a group of friends go north in the summer to go fishing, and in the winter they enjoy a warm ice shack to ice fish. Arndt feels hunting is a great sport that requires patience and persistence. It is not just about the hunt, but about the friends that he has that help him along the way.

Libraries remain busy in southeast communities By Lori Hoffort The Carlyle Public Library is offering the Truth and Reconciliation Quilt. Branch librarian Naomi Twietmeyer said: “The goal is to encourage confidence, dexterity and literacy as a group while bridging the gap between cultural groups. We want to inspire the community to come together as a group. This is a wonderful opportunity to gather the diverse ethnic backgrounds that the town and district represent. This is a significant project for the community.” Board member Heather Sparrow is heading up the group. The Truth and Reconciliation Quilt is based on the Seven Grandfathers’ Teachings from the Ojibwe culture, traditionally passed down from generation to generation. Today, the oral traditions are shared by those who carry the knowledge of the seven guiding principles for many Indigenous organizations and communities. They are thought to be a moral stepping stone and cultural foundation. They include the teachings of wisdom, love, respect, bravery, honesty, humility and truth. These concepts teach moral respect for all living things. Sparrow welcomes any help or presentation of ideas and skills to share. Contact the library online at car-
lyle@southeastlibrary. ca. The program began Oct. 19. Twietmeyer invites all ages, skills and interests to come out and share their energy with the group. Tasmin Bowerman offers her embroidery skills to those who require assistance. Sparrow is the seamstress for the group. They meet Thursdays at 4 p.m. in the library. The timeline for completion is dependent upon numbers that come out. Twietmeyer and Sparrow anticipate at least two to three months if necessary. General programming will continue through the winter. A paint program will meet every other Wednesday at 4 p.m. The program started on Oct. 25 and will run through the winter. The Kennedy Public Library celebrated Saskatchewan Library Week from Oct. 15-21. Local author Myrna Jewell read from her book, The Unkindness Society, a story of vampires and terrible secrets. Librarian Mona West offered dessert and coffee to the group that attended while a conversation around the book ensued. Jewell also did an afternoon writing workshop on Oct. 26. She offered one-on-one support to other local writers. West mentioned the numerous activities that the library will be offer-
ing over the next month. Pickleball will be organized at the Langbank Community Centre. The Stop Motion program will be available to students eight to 12 years old. Teens 13-15 years old will form another group to create a video with the program. Makerspace kits will be available in November, offering a variety of activities and kits. The kits will be offered from time to time, along with regular programming for students. Fridays are set aside for preschool story time. Please reference the library’s calendar of events and activities for dates and times. The Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan will be presenting Community Changes Everything at noon on Nov. 3. The presentation offers information regarding brain health and how to mitigate the risk of dementia. Pre-booking a spot is preferred. The Wawota Public Library is offering a variety of programming for the town and district. Programs for kids, teens and adults typically run monthly. Librarian Sarah Weatherald has organized several upcoming events and activities. Everyone is welcome to take part in these scheduled occasions. Weatherald extends a warm welcome to the

The Wawota branch offers a wide variety of Ukrainian books for the newcomers to enjoy. Students enjoyed the art of making slime during the latter part of October. Take-andmake crafts are available to those students interested. Adult programming takes place during scheduled afternoons. A Sask. Lotteries Programming Grant covers most of the library’s activities. Weatherald added that they are hoping to continue fundraising efforts for future expansion and upgrades. A used book sale on Nov. 18 will help with the general programming for the library. Guests are welcome to co-ordinate a date and time to share their talents and interests, in the spirit of fundraising for the future changes. New hours of operation have been implemented to better reach the area on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-5:30 p.m. and Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. till noon.

an early 1-0 lead, Estevan drew even on a goal by Roan Burgess. Estevan took over in the middle frame. Jase McNichol, who is one of the top scorers in the league so far this season, put Estevan ahead midway through the second, and Cooper Flath and Carter Onrait tallied less than two minutes apart for a three-goal lead. Aidan Mohan and Burgess scored 23 seconds apart in the third to round out the scoring. Onrait added three assists for a four-point game.
