Wendy’s Wrestling Rascals is now open to the public By Stephanie Zoer Wendy Marcotte always enjoyed sports and basketball was at the top of her list, until she was introduced to wrestling. Raised in Prince Albert, during her school years she played basketball until Grade 10. She had fully intended to join the basketball team until one day the high school wrestling coach asked her to help out with another student. When the student wrestler could not move Marcotte off her stomach in a wrestling maneuver, the coach was impressed and asked Marcotte if she would be interested in joining the club. It was from that moment that Marcotte became hooked on the sport, remaining with the team through Grade 12. After graduation she attended the University of Regina in the arts and science program with the intention of becoming a teacher, but had a change of heart and completed the early childhood education program instead. While at the U of R, Marcotte joined the wrestling team

Marcotte returned to P.A., where she coached wrestling at her old high school and also managed the P.A. Wrestling Club. In 2017 she moved to Carlyle and coached with a partner in Manor.

COVID-19 hit and shut everything down for a couple of years, and when things began to open up, Marcotte realized how much she missed the sport and decided to open her own studio for wrestling in Carlyle. While she was getting things organized for her studio, she was asked to coach the

wrestling team for Team South East at the 2023 Saskatchewan Winter Games in Regina. Her team did very well at the event. Running a daycare from her home in Carlyle, she started her wrestling studio there by converting her garage into the space she needed. Marcotte also needed a

name and the kids selected Wendy’s Wrestling Rascals. Offering the program to her daycare kids only, she had several that signed up and it officially began in October. In November, they began to practise for their first tournament, held on Dec. 10 in Weyburn. This gave the athletes six weeks to prepare for the competition. Three of Marcotte’s students attended, with Weston Dormoth receiving a silver medal, Kendrick Dormoth taking the bronze medal and Lincoln Brown placing fourth. Marcotte was incredibly pleased with the placings considering the short span they had to train. In January 2024, Marcotte will open her studio to the public for all to enjoy the global sport. Wrestling is a wonderful way to strengthen the body, it creates strategic thinking and the ability to rapidly change situations. These are all things that will be taught at Marcotte’s wrestling studio and so much more, but above all she wants it to be fun.

Breast cancer screening bus coming to Carlyle and Carnduff By David Willberg The Saskatchewan Cancer Agency’s (SCA) mobile mammography bus is in southeast Saskatchewan this winter, giving women over the age of 50 the opportunity to be checked for breast cancer. The bus has been at the Hotel Estevan’s parking lot in east Estevan since Jan. 2 and

will remain until Feb. 16. Laurie Pearce, an early detection co-ordinator with the agency’s breast cancer screening program, said all of their appointments for January are booked, but there are still some available for February. It will also be in Carnduff and Carlyle later this winter. The dates for Carnduff are Feb. 20 until the morning of

March 6, in the parking lot of the Carnduff Park. The dates for Carlyle after the afternoon March 6 until March 28. The bus will be in the parking lot of the Carlyle Curling Rink. Carnduff invites were mailed on Monday and appointments are now open. Carlyle invites will go out the week of Jan. 24 with appointments opened that same week.

Women are welcome to call in to book as soon as they receive that invite in the mail by calling 1-855-584-8228. The bus is open Tuesday to Thursdays from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday and Friday hours of operation vary at each site as those are travel days for the techs to and from the mobile sites. Pearce is pleased with the

response from people in the southeast so far this winter. “Women get their invite letters about six weeks prior to our visit, and most women, they’ve been on the bus before, and they know approximately when it’s coming again,” said Pearce. The SCA usually has a very good response in terms of filling A2 »SCREENING

Kisbey tradition continues Bells rang out on New Years Day in Kisbey, continuing a tradition that began in 2000. For generations, people around the world have had bell-ringing ceremonies to welcome the new year, but Kisbey’s tradition started with a province-wide invitation to welcome the new millennium. Since then, community members have continued to gather at the recreation centre for bell-ringing at noon on New Year’s Day, followed by a potluck lunch of Christmas leftovers and dainties.

Screening mammograms important for women « A1 “It helps us determine how long we should be in the community,” said Pearce. Pearce said a screening mammogram can detect changes in a woman’s breast before she can see or feel them. She compared the test to going to the dentist or an optometrist when it comes to

a healthy lifestyle. “Screening mammograms are for healthy, well women, so if women are experiencing a symptom of [breast cancer], they would need to go to see their doctor or their nurse practitioner to discuss those concerns, but if they’re feeling healthy and well, then

they can certainly book with us,” said Pearce. “It’s self-referral by calling our toll-free number. They don’t need a physician or a nurse practitioner’s referral to book with us. And it’s a quick test. It takes about 20 minutes in total for the whole process, from the time they get on the bus to the time they leave.” People are appreciative about the efforts of the agency and the people who work in the screening bus. “Women are very

happy to be able to have this test done closer to home, just like any test they might need, rather than having to travel.” The bus goes out to over 42 sites in the province, appearing in communities every second year. Pearce said this is a program provided by the cancer agency for many years.

Second Chance offered a donated guitar for a raffle By Stephanie Zoer Grayson Littlechief of White Bear First Nations was pretty happy to receive an early Christmas gift, when his name was drawn for the Epiphone electric guitar, which came with an amplifier and foot peddle. The electric guitar and equipment were donated by Joseph Daniel and Gladys Doud of Lampman. Daniel was raised in Nova Scotia and moved to Lampman several years ago. He has always had a love for music and plays several instruments, including the guitar. He has taught himself to play and loves to write songs and create the accompanying music. Over the years, Daniel has owned 200 gui-

tars, but at present has 16, which are in great shape and are all tuned and ready to go. He has played and sang across Canada, always performing on his own. With it getting close to Christmas, he wanted to do something special and decided to offer a guitar for a raffle. The guitar was brought to Second Chance in Carlyle, where manager Kellie Jones was glad to help. Each person who entered the draw only needed to explain why they felt they needed the equipment. On Dec. 21, Daniel and Doud came to Second Chance to draw the lucky winner. When Littlechief found out that he had

won, he was thrilled as his guitar was no longer in good working condition. Second Chance opened in Carlyle in 2015 and is a secondhand store, which has many clothing items for all ages and genders. They also have housework items, bedding, wall hangings and so much more that are in gently used condition. The proceeds from this organization helps support Choose Life Ministry’s Homestead for Hope near Gainsborough, which is for women who have life-controlling issues. The items in the store are all donations from people who no lon- From left, Grayson Littlechief was excited to receive the phone call from ger need them and is a Kellie Jones, manager at Second Chance, that he had won the Epiphone way to support a worthy electric guitar.

CF Sunrise salutes YouthBiz winners CF Sunrise has announced the winners for the 2023 YouthBiz entrepreneurship competition for students in southeast Saskatchewan. A total of $4,300 in prize money was presented to young people for their efforts to develop a business idea and build financial literacy skills, while showcasing their creativity by designing a website and other digital materials. The contest is open to students in Grades 6-12. This year, 286 students from 13 schools in the southeast participated in the contest, which was made possible by the support of several sponsors. “Once again, we’ve had tremendous response to this longrunning youth business contest,” said CF Sunrise general manager Andria Brady. “These young

people have worked very hard to build financial and digital literacy skills, develop their knowledge of the business world and explore entrepreneurship. “Many have said that this experience has inspired them to start a real business, and that’s great news. We find that the teachers really support the students as participation does align with their curriculum outcomes as well. “This is the 17th year for YouthBiz and over the years we’ve seen over 3,200 young people in southeast Saskatchewan discover the world of small business. Pretty incredible results.” The YouthBiz contest encourages students to explore the business world by developing skills needed to be an entrepreneur. They write about a business idea

that they’ve imagined or already operated, and evaluate the potential profitability of their venture. In recent years, the digital world has become an important part, with website development being a requirement. In the Grade 6-8 division, first place went to Fast Feet Studio from Carievale School. Xis Crafts from St. Michael School in Weyburn was second, and Picture Perfect Photography at Midale Central School was third. Kevin Butz’s Grade 6 class at Weyburn’s Assiniboia Park Elementary School won the Classroom Award. For Grades 9-12, first place went to Top Shelf Sticks & Skates from Midale Central School. Two projects from the Carnduff Education Complex, Cactus Cut Vintage and the Book Nook, came in second and third, re-

Agriculture in 2024 KBI Seed Processing nurturing quality in agriculture In the heart of Manor, a family-owned business has been sowing seeds of success for decades. Originating in the 1980s under the visionary leadership of Brian Kennett, KBI Seed Processing has evolved into a beacon of agricultural innovation and quality. Originally established as Sunny K Seeds Ltd., Brian Kennett’s dedication to seed cultivation and cleaning laid the foundation for a legacy that continues to thrive today. Currently owned and operated by Brian’s daughter Tamara Hildebrandt and his brother Daren Kennett, along with Daren’s son Mason Kennett, KBI Seed Processing remains deeply rooted in family values.

The journey began with Brian becoming a licensed seed grower, cultivating pedigreed seeds and constructing a seedcleaning plant to cater to local farmers. Today, Tamara carries on this legacy as a licensed seed grower, ensuring the continuation of the family’s commitment to providing pedigreed seed sales and custom seed-cleaning services to local growers. KBI Seed Processing operates a state-of-theart grain processing and cleaning facility for both organic and conventional cereal grains, oilseeds and pulses. Specializing in dehulling ancient grains and ensuring locally-grown commodities meet the highest purity standards for human consumption

and pet food markets, the company has become an integral part of the agricultural landscape. One key aspect setting KBI Seed Processing apart is its adherence to a globally-recognized food safety program called the Canadian Grain Commission Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point. Producers looking to sell directly into the human consumption and pet food markets trust KBI Seed Processing to custom clean their commodities, ensuring they meet stringent industry standards. The year 2022 marked a significant milestone for KBI Seed Processing with the expansion of capabilities through the addition of

a cutting-edge colour sorter. This advanced machine, functioning like a large computer, uses precision technology to identify and remove impurities from the products, further elevating the company’s commitment to quality. Tamara Hildebrandt expresses the family’s dedication, stating: “We enjoy working with producers to help ensure that they are getting the best value for the commodities that they worked so hard to grow.” KBI Seed Processing stands as a testament to the resilience and innovation within Manor’s agricultural community.

Governments invest $14.7 million in crop research Federal Minister of Agriculture and AgriFood Lawrence MacAulay and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit announced a total of $14.7 million to support crop-related research in 2024. Invested through Saskatchewan’s Agriculture Development Fund (ADF) and the Strategic Research Initiative (SRI) under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP), the commitment includes $12.2 million for 56 ADF research projects and $2.5 million to support an SRI project identifying solutions to man-

age root rot in pea and lentils. “Investments like these are vitally important to the future of our agriculture sector,” MacAulay said. “These research projects will help our farmers adopt more sustainable practices and new methods to counter the effects of drought, diseases and other environmental challenges they face.” “Funding agriculture research is the first step to helping our producers stay competitive and profitable,” Marit said. “Our growth targets for the end of this decade rely heavily on agriculture and agri-

food products. Our commitment to projects like those being funded today, with strong support again this year from our industry partners, is an investment in Saskatchewan’s innovative, export-based economy.” The ADF provides support annually and on a competitive basis to research projects with the potential to create growth opportunities and enhance the agriculture industry’s sustainability and competitiveness. This year’s successful ADF projects cover a range of research topics, including enhancing flax abiotic stress tolerance; de-

The Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan work closely with industry partners to leverage funding to support research that aligns with industry priorities. An additional $4.2 million was contributed by industry partners to support this year’s ADF re-

search projects. The SRI provides targeting funding to address complex challenges facing the agriculture sector. Through the SRI, Dr. Sabine Banniza at the University of Saskatchewan will accelerate the

discovery of root rot solutions for pea and lentil crops in Saskatchewan. This project will develop new options to manage root rot and will contribute to preserving and expanding the pea and lentil acres in our province.

Arcola Snowmobile Rally will proceed regardless of snow By Stephanie Zoer The Arcola Optimist Club’s Snowmobile Rally is only weeks away and the club is looking forward to several snow days before hand. This will be the 31st annual rally and it is not the first time that snow, or lack there of, could cause less-than perfect trails. Normally an average of 300 or more riders come out to enjoy the day, but at one time they had 500, which was an exceptional year. Geordan Workman is once again the chairman, and it will be his third year in the role, and he said there is a big committee that puts this on. Meetings began last September, as there is a great deal of preparation for this large event. Each year, tickets

Last year the Arcola Snowmobile Rally brought frigid temperatures, but over 300 riders came out to enjoy the day. Photo by Stephanie Zoer are sold on three large prizes and this year the prize vouchers will be through Schrader’s Motors in Yorkton. Four companies are used on rotation for the grand prizes and these four dealerships carry either Polaris,

Yamaha, Arctic Cat or Ski-Doo machines or products. The rally is always held the last Saturday of January, which is the 27th this year. Registration to ride in the rally will take place that morning at

Arcola’s Prairie Place Complex. Once registered, people can hit the trails. Most snowmobilers will ride 80-100 kilometres of the trails and then return to the complex. Along the trails there will be

places to stop. The complex will remain open for those who wish to socialize and have something to drink or eat while warming up if a deep freeze should happen. If for some reason the trails are not in ide-

al condition for snowmobiling, the Optimist Club will have events at the complex. Many people come from far away on this day to meet up with those they met previous years. They will have a 50/50 draw online only, with the chance to win big. Tickets must be purchased on or by Jan. 27. The trails are looking surprisingly good, and the club hopes that more snow falls before the rally. The Moose Mountain Snowmobile Club takes care of the 440 kilometres of trails and is a nonprofit organization. Their largest donation came from the Arcola Optimist Club in 2023 through funds made from the rally. Workman said several people just come for the social, and it is open for all to enjoy.

Carlyle Cougars host cabaret after beating Bienfait By Stephanie Zoer

The Carlyle Cougars senior hockey team is always looking for ways to give back to the community for their undying support. Forward Ben Johnstone said they wanted

to do something that brought togetherness and Christmas is a wonderful time to do this. On Dec. 22, the Cougars held a Christmas cabaret at the Carlyle Memorial Hall. Johnstone said an event like this was to

show the community and supporters that they are thankful for people supporting the team. Dale Orsted came out to DJ the event and began pumping out the tunes to get the crowd of around 150 people in the spirit of Christmas and to

hit the dance floor. According to Johnstone, the crowd of people over 18 seemed to have a fun time and the event proved to be highly successful. The Cougars started the night with an exciting game against the Bien-

fait Coalers, which they won 8-2. Josh Romanyk had a hat trick and Jon Gaudet had a three-point night. This was also the ugly Christmas sweater game and they encouraged fans to wear theirs as well.

Their next two home games will be played Jan. 12, when they will face off against the Carnduff Red Devils, and Jan 19, with the puck dropping with Oxbow Huskies.
