Two Grade 12 students from the Carnduff Education Complex continue to earn praise and prizes for their concept that could change irrigation in agriculture. Logan Stewart and Wyatt Thompson took the top prize of $22,500 at a pitch competition hosted by the Southeast Techhub on Nov. 24 at the Southeast College’s Estevan campus. The students had one of four innovative concepts entered, and dozens of people turned out to learn more about the projects and to see who would be named the winner. The pitch competition had a similar format to the TV shows Dragon’s Den and Shark Tank. Each of the entrepreneurs was given 15 minutes to explain their idea and what they would do with the $22,500 cash prize if they were selected as the winner. Then the five judges peppered the hopefuls with questions, and they needed a considerable amount of time to choose a winner. Stewart and Thompson’s business is Smart Irrigation, which is a portable irrigation system. Both come from an agriculture background, and they believe their idea would benefit farmers and ranchers while helping with food security. “Farmers right now have to buy an irrigation [system] for every field and that irrigation system is not actually able to reach the corners of the field,” said Thompson. They said afterwards they were stunned to win the pitch competition. “Ever since we started, everyone has been quite impressed with it,” said Thompson. “I didn’t think it would go this far.”

They marvelled at the other ideas that were presented, and Stewart added he wouldn’t have wanted to be one of the judges. Not only is their design able to be moved to different sections of land, but it can also provide water to an entire parcel. They believe more farmers would turn to them because of their concept’s practicality. Stewart added it would become a time saver. “It would extend in the field to reach the corners and then shrink up and fold up for transport,” said Stewart. While the portable unit has to be longer to reach the corners, they predicted it would save farmers money in the long run because of its advantages. They believe their primary competition would be from centre-pivot irrigation systems. Thompson said those are well built and known to farmers, but they aren’t portable and it takes time to assemble them and take them apart. He added that centre-pivot misses about 15 per cent of a field, which on a quarter section of land, amounts to 24 acres. That adds up when a farmer has over a dozen quarter sections. “The telescopic feature on this allows us to make it road legal so you don’t have to do any disassembly … you just simply unhook your water source, and fold onto it and hook onto it … and bring it to your next field,” said Thompson. They would hook into the water in the same way as current irrigation systems. Thompson and Stewart came up with the idea last year as a school project. Their respective farms were going through a

They presented Smart Irrigation at a regional science fair, advanced to the national science fair and have been working on the concept ever since. “We are still improving on the models to this day,” said Thompson. Stewart and Thompson don’t know how much it will cost to produce or sell one of the units, and they’re not sure how long it will take before it’s available on the market. In the meantime, they’re going to keep working on the project, they’ll finish their Grade 12 years, and they’re going to seek post-secondary education. The money from win-

ning the pitch competition will go towards getting the project into development.

Carlyle Observer welcomes new freelancer reporter By Lori Hoffort I hope that this message finds you well. I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Lori Hoffort and I am the new reporter for The Carlyle Observer. I am excited to cover a number of communities in the southeast. These include Kipling, Kennedy, Langbank, Wawota, Kenosee Lake, Redvers, Oxbow and the White Bear First Nations, as well as Moose Mountain Provincial Park. Please consider con-

tacting me with news from any of these communities. I am always looking for ideas for articles. You can contact me at lori.b@sasktel.net. I was born and raised in Regina and have lived in many different communities across the central and southern parts of the province. I now call Kennedy home. I live with my husband, five wonderful miniature dachshunds dogs and often a litter of puppies. We are a blended family of five grown children and four

beautiful grandchildren. We moved to the area in the spring of 2021. We enjoy a fairly quiet life in the village. Our minis love to bark. They are like kids in a pool. When one screams, they all scream. Kennedy may not be as quiet as it used to be thanks to our bunch, but we love them. Other loves of mine are the pleasures of painting, writing and swimming. Communities are returning to normal since COVID-19 restrictions 23121BM0

have been lifted. I’ve had the pleasure of covering various stories as we all continue this journey. I know that there are many more stories out there, in the form of groups, individuals or ceremonies. I look forward to covering them. I’m learning the art of reporting as I go. I am grateful to The Observer’s Dolores Young, Stephanie Zoer and David Willberg for their patience, support and guidance. I look forward to meeting you and serving you here.

More will be their mentor, giving them advice on how to grow their business. The two students will have full access to the Techhub and its resources, an office in the building and a business licence. More praised the other entrants in the pitch competition. “I don’t know how the judges could have ever decided who was going to win. They were all very innovative and very original,” said More. The event was streamed on YouTube, so people unable to attend the competition could watch it online. More said some venture capitalists were expected to be in the online audience. “I have a strong feeling that some of these presenters are going to get a phone call tomorrow or the next day,” More predicted.

Moose Mountain Snowmobile Club provides services to locals and visitors alike during the winter By Lori Hoffort The first groomed snowmobile trails in Saskatchewan were created in Moose Mountain Provincial Park in 1970s. “The province was watching the popularity of snowmobiles at that time and decided that Moose Mountain was the place to develop trails and tourism,” said Troy Foster, president of the Moose Mountain Snowmobile Club (MMSC). Their goal has always been to promote safe riding and ongoing training. “MMSC maintains the third-largest number of kilometres in the province out of all 60 clubs. MMSC looks after 15 warm-up shelters which are stocked with the essentials if there is an emergency, including lights, firewood, fire starter, matches, an

axe and a map showing the shelter’s location. The club was formed in the early 1980s in the Moose Mountain Provincial Park. It expanded throughout the later 1980s and 1990s. This expansion included the link to the communities of Stoughton, Corning, Windthorst, Kipling, Carlyle, Arcola, Kisbey, Kenosee Lake and White Bear Resort. The total distance comprised of the park and community additions totalled 440 kilometres of groomed and marked trails. Foster mentioned the standards that the trails must meet are set by the regulations of the Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association (SSA). Trails are scored from one of five components. A portion of the provincial registrations of snowmobiles

is pooled and allocated according to each club’s scores and the total kilometres that they are responsible for. Every two years the trails are inspected for its maintenance, grooming and safety by the SSA. It is regulated that there are two stakes every tenth of a kilometre. They must be marked with reflective paint. Six thousands stakes are placed out each winter, along with 2,000 signs. These indicate stop, stop ahead, slow, curves, shelter ahead, junction, maps, stay on the trail and destination signs indicating how far to the next community or shelter. These help riders and groomers to navigate the trails especially when the weather takes a turn for the worse. Foster noted the executive for the club is diversified throughout the various communities that make up the club’s trail system. The vicepresident is Rod McCarthy of Corning and the board of directors come from the club’s included communities. Everyone in the club is a volunteer and helps with this daunting task each year. Nine groomers work together and provide safe recreation for snowmobilers from all over. A total of 2,500 volunteer hours are regularly logged throughout the fall preparation, winter signage, safety and grooming.

One of Moose Mountain Snowmobile Club’s many trails and signage replaced each year to ensure the safety and guidance needed by riders. Photo courtesy of Troy Foster Snowcats are used for grooming the club’s trails. They are specifically designed for this. A cat unit pulls a drag that chops up the big snow chunks. A heater in the rear warms the snow and compacts it like cement. This is required to maintain the integrity of the trails. Some weekends see a couple hundred snowmobiles using the trails. They must be compacted to withstand the traffic. Riders from as far as Winnipeg, Regina and Moose Jaw travel to enjoy the early trails in the park. Due to the shaded areas in the forest of the park, snow conditions are often ready first and last the longest at the end of the season as well. The Snowmobile Act mandates the official season to include Dec. 1 through April 15

each year. Riders must not use the trails on private lands before or after these dates. It is considered trespassing during the time outside the mandated season. “The club wants to thank all landowners for the use of their land throughout the season,” Foster said. “The Moose Mountain Snowmobile Club is grateful for the donations that it receives from individuals and businesses,” he went on to say. The funds collected are used for to maintain and run the Snowcats with fuel and storage needs. The club, and the southeast part of the province, have benefited from the oil and gas industry and their generosity. The MMSC’s trails join up with other

clubs’ trails: the SE Sask. Stubble Jumpers, Estevan Snowmobile Club, Souris River Snowmobile Club, Stoneybrook Snow Travellers, Broadview Snow Busters, Grenfell Snow Drifters and the Chitek Lake Bush Buddies. This combination offers 1,500 kilometres of groomed and marked trails for everyone’s use. The entire province offers riders an 11,000-kilometre matrix of groomed and marked trails extending to Prince Albert. For this and other information you can go to the SSA’s site at sasksnow.com. Foster asks that you contact the Moose Mountain Snowmobile Club at 1-306-575-7661 or on the Facebook page.

Man wanted for attempted murder arrested in Wawota Officers with the Carlyle and Moosomin RCMP have arrested a male who was wanted on charges out of Prince Albert. According to the Prince Albert Police Service (PAPS), on Nov. 23 at approximately 10:45 a.m., the Carlyle and Moosomin RCMP initiated a traffic stop on a red GMC truck in Wawota. The PAPS says the truck was confirmed to be the suspect vehicle involved in a shooting and motor vehicle collision in Prince Albert on Nov. 19. The suspect vehicle then fled the scene. The RCMP officers arrested the 18-year-old male occupant in the suspect truck for attempted murder. The suspect

truck has been seized as part of the ongoing investigation. The initial incident occurred in the 1000-block of 22nd Street East in Prince Albert Nov. 19. The PAPS said a firearm was discharged from the suspect vehicle that resulted in an injury to the driver of the first vehicle. This injury caused the driver to lose control, resulting in the collision. The PAPS said there is evidence that shows the

victim and suspects are known to each other and this was not a random act. According to the PAPS, occupants of the suspect vehicle and victim vehicle were involved in an inter-

action at a Prince Albert skateboard park at approximately 12:30 a.m. on Nov. 19, moments before the collision. Five people from the victim vehicle were trans-

ported to Victoria Hospital with various injuries. The 22-year-old driver of the vehicle was transported to hospital in Regina with serious injuries. The Prince Albert

Police Service said it does not believe there is a danger to public safety, and it thanks the Carlyle and Moosomin RCMP for their assistance.

Robert Kitchen seeking another term as MP from Day 1 that as long as I’m learning something new every day, then I see that as being of value, and I will continue to do that. The job is always a learning thing; there’s so much to learn as we move forward, so those are things I look forward to.” Kitchen wants to promote the agriculture, mining, and oil and gas sectors as much as possible, and he hopes he can do it from the government side of the House of Commons after the next election. The Tories have been in opposition since Kitchen was elected in October 2015. The date for the next federal election is unknown, as the Lib-

erals currently have a minority government that is supported by the federal New Democratic Party. The next scheduled vote is in the fall of 2025, but it could be earlier if the NDP withdraws its backing of the Liberals on confidence votes. He admits it’s been challenging to make things happen while in opposition. “The steps that I’ve looked for have been to try to make certain that I’ve been able to get constituents to where they need to be,” said Kitchen. The fact that the Tories currently lead in the polls is a “bonus”, he said, but polls are only as good as the results on election day.

Kisbey gas facility theft under investigation The Carlyle RCMP is investigating after a theft that occurred in the Kisbey area on the weekend. Sometime between Nov. 24 and 26, the Kisbey Gas Gathering and Processing Plant was broken into and tools, along with miscella-

Kitchen said he hopes nobody will oppose him for the Tories’ nomination, but he’d be ready if anyone did. “I’d like to think that after three terms, people have seen what I’ve been able to do and continue to do, and I will continue to fight on their behalf.” If an election were to happen, he has his team ready to go. But it’s hard to say when, or if, the NDP would back away from its current arrangement with the Liberals. “I know I would like to have the election as soon as possible and to move forward, but as to whether they will hold off for another two years, we won’t know that for a while,”

Souris-Moose Mountain MP Robert Kitchen said Kitchen. He has enjoyed meeting and talking with constituents in the

past eight years, and he looks forward to remaining in his current role.

The member of Parliament for SourisMoose Mountain will be seeking another term when the next federal election is called. Robert Kitchen says he will be vying for the Conservative Party’s nomination, and should he win it, would be the party’s candidate. A nomination meeting has not been scheduled. He has been the MP for the southeast constituency since 2015. All three of his electoral victories have been decisive. When he was re-elected in 2021, he captured 76.4 per cent of the popular vote. “I’ve learned an awful lot,” said Kitchen in an interview with SaskToday. “I’ve always said

Arcola Toy Show raises funds for a special cause By Stephanie Zoer Blake Brownridge of Arcola and Matthew Hodgson of Manor hosted their third annual toy show in Arcola, and it keeps getting bigger and better. The event was held at the Arcola Prairie Place Complex on Nov. 25 and 26. Fifteen vendors displayed their wide range of tractors and trucks across 60 tables. Brownridge and Hodgson started the show after many events had been cancelled from COVID-19. The first show was held in 2021. With Saturday being the busiest day, more than 400 people came through the doors to check out the massive displays of toys and do a little Christmas shopping. Upon entering the show, several raffle

prizes were lined up on tables along the front for guests to enter. Ron and Jason Pappel were among the exhibitors from Manitoba. They drove nearly six hours to take part in the event and were pleased with the setup and the steady flow of people. They felt sales went well and hope to return next year. They have been collecting for 40 years. Gerald Harder was also from Manitoba. He felt the show was well organized and plans to return in 2024. The kitchen was open for business, offering beef on a bun. The beef was donated by the vendors, which they were very grateful for. Brownridge, Hodgson and the kitchen volunteers will donate the proceeds from the event to the Jessica Robinson fundraiser. Robinson had a

meningioma (benign) tumour removed from her head on April 17, 2019, with five per cent of the tumour left as it was on the optical nerve and sinus artery. A portion of her skull was also removed. A temporary titanium mesh was placed covering the missing skull. In September 2023, after another MRI, Robinson found out that 20 per cent of the tumour had grown back. Robinson is to be fitted with a silicone cap to help repair the skull, but this will not happen until after her surgery. It is hoped she will have her surgery in December, but a clearer image is necessary before that can happen. She went to the Allan Blair Centre in October for a consultation with a radiologist, but the tumour is too

but is now off work for at least the next six months. The funds from the show will help Robinson offset travelling expenses as there will

New daycare looking to start in Lampman By David Willberg A committee looking to bring a new daycare facility to Lampman recently received some encouraging news. In a news release, the Little Leaper’s Early Learning Centre said that in conjunction with the Government of Saskatchewan’s list of approved new child-care facilities and expansions, the board for the learning centre has been given the green light for the start of a new 30-space child-care facility in Lampman. Little Leaper’s will be a non-profit, government-subsidized early child-care facility to serve Lampman, the RM of Browning and nearby areas. Chairwoman Jodi Werner said they first started discussing the concept in the spring of 2022. An initial survey was completed to see if there was sufficient need in the community. The questionnaire was put together by a couple of members of the community and the family centre in Lampman. “From the results, it was deemed that there was a need for child-care spaces in the town, including surrounding rurals,” said Werner. A lot of people are looking for child care in the area so they can go back to work. After the initial survey, a meeting

The Observer

Friday, December 1, 2023

was held in the community so anybody could attend and get some more information. Little Leaper’s initial board was formed stemming from that meeting. “We still do have an ongoing list of people who are interested in it, and I only anticipate further interest as we get more and more announcements out to the community,” said Werner. “Up until now, we were just working on getting our proposals submitted to the government in order to get approved. “Now that we’ve been approved, we can do more community engagement, and I feel that we’ll definitely have a lot more involvement as we go along, once we start engaging more with the community.” A second community needs assessment was completed to submit the application to the government, and it again showed people were interested and in need. “There are a lot of young families in Lampman and the surrounding rurals that will utilize the space,” said Werner. She has no doubt the childcare centre will fill the 30 spaces. Little Leaper’s is independent of the family centre, she said, but the family centre organized the initial survey along with the members of the

town council. Werner stressed they are still in the initial stages of this project and they have a lot to do before they can open. They have moved on to the next task, which is selecting a location. They are working with the Town of Lampman to help determine a suitable spot. “That’s just the first step. There are lots of steps. There’s securing the building, there’s getting the staff, but those are all further down the road. Our main focus right now is nailing down that location so we can continue with other items,” said Werner. An ideal site would be easily accessible for parents when they drop off their kids. It would also be large enough to accommodate the kids and offer an outdoor play area. The board met regularly to get its application to the provincial government for approval. Little Leapers hopes to be done before the end of March 2025. Werner noted that the centre’s name pays homage to a piece of the town’s history. A brainstorming session was held at a board meeting, and one person suggested naming the facility after Lampman’s leapfrog champions from many years ago. There is a sign in the town that notes the community’s achievement.

Argyle Fire Department receives a grant By Stephanie Zoer The Gainsborough and Carievale Fire Departments were once on their own, carrying their own names, but in 2021 they became the Argyle Fire Department. These two communities go way back in history. To this day they both have fire halls. In 2016, the two fire departments each received a new fire truck, but they kept their 1977 fire trucks in working condition. The departments are now considered one, yet each town still has an active fire hall. The communities are 15 kilometres apart. The R.M. of Argyle surrounds Gainsborough and Carievale and they have 26 members

on their call list. Kingston Midstream gave them a grant in 2021 for upgrades to the Carievale Fire Hall, which replaced the doors and windows. On Nov. 23 at the Carievale Christmas tree lighting, the announcement was made that Gainsborough would receive a grant for $22,000 to upgrade the fire hall. The grant came from the Farm Credit Canada (FCC) Ag Spirit Fund. To qualify for this grant, it had to be a rural area. The funds will be used to upgrade the windows and doors and complete any maintenance that is needed. R.M. of Argyle Reeve John Ryckman had a few comments at the tree lighting, thanking the FCC

and all the members of the fire department. Santa Claus also made his presence at the festive occasion, travelling around on the Carievale fire truck. Kids were excited to see him while he handed out treats to the children and, of course, asked them what they would like for Christmas. The Argyle department responds to five to 20 calls in any given year. According to Capt. Jared Phair, it can all depend on the dryness of the season. At present Jace Brown is the fire chief, and his deputy chiefs are Brad Wang and Brad Meyers. Together they are thankful for the grant so they can apply the muchneeded upgrades to the fire hall.

Shopping local means a lot to the community as a whole By Lori Hoffort The debate is do people travel away to shop or shop locally? The reality is that without local businesses and services in a community, there is often employment loss, lower property values and a decrease in overall service to residents. Although it may be necessary to travel for certain

services not provided in the community, it is important to take advantage of those services that are available. Local businesses support a stronger tax base within their own community. This in turn translates into possible development of new service and support of existing local services. Businesses offer local employment

for some, as well as improvements in schools, health services, recreation and basic community services. Entrepreneurs chose to offer their service within a certain community. This decision was made after careful consideration. They saw themselves as part of the local community. They chose to live and work there.

They often buy property, raise their families and enjoy the other services available. This is true of many small towns and villages. Kipling is no exception. There are over 50 businesses and services to be found in Kipling. With the holiday season here, businesses ask that you look at the services near you. Save the worry of travelling

A PROUD CONTRIBUTOR TO

winter roads and the gas spent to get there. Many services are right around the corner. Kipling Home Hardware’s Erin Walker raised the point by saying, “When you support local, local supports you.” Pharmasave’s pharmacist Courtney Mish added, “Shopping local creates jobs close to home and helps our

business support local groups and events, to ultimately strengthen our community.”

Jeff Faber recognized for his outstanding achievement By Stephanie Zoer Jeff Faber began working with his parents Dale and Shelley in 2008. His brother Devin Faber works with them as well at the family-run business called Faber’s Electric, located in Carlyle. The business began in 1984 and has grown to 16 employees. In 2012, Jeff obtained his journeyman’s status as an electrician but he enjoyed this job long before he was certified. According to his mom Shelley, Jeff began working with his dad Dale at the age of 12, during the summer holidays. It was at

this time that he learned about the trade. With the company installing standby generators, they needed a certified gas fitter. They had to have someone within their own company to do this job. Devin is the earthworks guy. His job entails hydrovacing and doing the excavating. It was decided that Jeff would take on the plumbing and gas fitting once he was certified, which required him to go back to school. Over the past four years, Jeff did his apprenticeship through the company with a journeyman plumber who worked for Faber’s Electric and attended school in

Saskatoon for two months in each of these four years. On Nov. 3 at the Conexus Arts Centre in Regina, with his family and children, Nash and Peyton, in attendance, he was presented with an award on behalf of the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission in recognition of his outstanding achievement in the plumber trade. Jeff achieved the highest mark for journeyman certification in all of Saskatchewan for the 2022-23 academic year. “We are very proud of Jeff,” said Shelley. “We have a fabulous team at Faber’s Electric.”

Karate kids and adults attend provincial tournament in Carlyle

Teary McArthur enjoyed her last tournament and took home some placings before she moves to Edmonton. Photos by Trevor McArthur By Stephanie Zoer The Gordon F. Kells High School gymnasium saw a lot of action on Nov. 25 with the Karate Provincial Tournament, organized by Jason Humphries and hosted by Moose Mountain Wado-Kai Karate Club. This tournament has been running for 37 years and is the oldest ongoing karate tournament in Western Canada. Immanuel and Teary McArthur attend as many events as possible, including the one in Carlyle, as they take classes in Carlyle.

Their dad Trevor McArthur is always there to show his kids support. He put his kids in karate as he never wanted his kids to be bullied. A large number of competitors attended the one-day tournament from Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, with the youngest being five years old and the oldest 61. Throughout the day, each belt competes against each other for the chance to be placed first. Most belt colours attended, including black belts. This would be Teary’s last

Immanuel McArthur placed second in kumite and received a fractured finger.

tournament for a while, so she was happy to take home second in kumite and third in kata. She will be moving to Edmonton in December where she will not be taking karate lessons. Kata shows how well one knows the moves in an individual training exercise, while kumite is using these methods against an opponent, using defensive and offensive techniques in a standing competition. Teary began karate lessons when she was four years old and has competed for six years. This will be a change for

her, but she is going to give it a try. Immanuel will continue and further his skills. He has been involved in karate for 10 years. He placed second in kumite, fighting in a higher class than his belt and even fractured a finger while doing so. He has had a very successful year, winning in Alberta’s provincial tournament and placing second in Manitoba. He also placed first in Saskatchewan last season. He has travelled to Niagara Falls and Quebec to take part in the World Karate Fed-

eration Canadian Finals. Immanuel was selected to be on the Sask. team and will fly to Texas in March 2024 for the USA Open Karate Championships and Junior International Cup. Enjoying sports, Immanuel is part of the basketball team at the Stoughton Central School and has also joined boxing, with his first tournament on Dec. 2. The World Karate Federation is the largest international governing body of sport karate, with 198 countries and more than 10 million members.

Lampman woman is Saskatchewan’s newest millionaire Janice Bernier scanned her Western Max ticket and shouted in excitement: “I’m a millionaire!” The Lampman woman won $1 million on the Nov. 10 Western Max draw. “I was immediately giddy,” she said at her prize claim interview. “I couldn’t stop myself from yelling it out for the whole store to hear.” “My friend owns the store, so he came over to see what was going on,” she added. “I told him I won a million dollars, and he was like, ‘You’re full of bologna.’ But it was true.” The winner said she did take a moment afterwards to make sure she was celebrating the right amount. “I googled how many zeroes are in one million dollars,” she laughed. “I had to make sure.” Bernier said she has one very exciting plan for her windfall. “I’m going to buy a new truck,” she said. “I’ve never had a brandnew vehicle, and it’s something I’ve

always hoped to have one day.” The new winner said she will also put some of the winnings toward retirement. Bernier purchased her $7 quick pick ticket from the Lampman Service Station, located at 515 Main Street. She won her million-dollar prize on one of Western Max’s additional prize draws by matching the numbers 20, 21, 23, 40, 43, 44 and 49. On how it feels to win a million dollars, she said, “Oh, better than I ever imagined.” Western Max is drawn every Tuesday and Friday. Tickets are available until 9:30 p.m. in Saskatchewan on each draw day. Sask. Lotteries is the main fundraiser for more than 12,000 sport, culture and recreation groups in communities across Saskatchewan. Learn about games, jackpots, winning numbers and more at sasklotteries.ca.
