On March 21, 1901, Pheasant Rump Nakota First Nation (PRNFN) people were removed from their land by gunpoint and forced to go east to White Bear First Nation (WBFN).

They left their land with the clothing on their backs and told to leave their belongings behind.

Pheasant Rump is located north of Kisbey off of Highway 13, but back in 1901 there were no roads to travel on.

Walking through the base of the Moose Mountains in the cold temperatures took a toll on the people, as they carried babies and helped the elderly, and many lost their lives on this journey.

They continued to fight for their land and in 1990 were reconstituted as an independent band.

Vanessa BigEagle, who is PRNFN’s language and cultural media consultant, said they wanted to honour their ancestors on March 21.

PRNFN Chief Ira McArthur went to the WBFN at 6 a.m. and was joined by Chief Jona-

Jade Moore began working at King’s Department Store last September as a casual employee. She loved the atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff who worked there.

Moore has been a real estate broker with her mother for the past seven years but wanted something extra in her life.

Born and raised in Osage, she moved to Carlyle 11 years ago. She married her husband Travis, and they

than Pasap to walk the 44 kilometres to Pheasant Rump. McArthur said they had not intended to do the walk, but some like-minded people thought it would be the best way to honour their ancestors and to know a little of what they went through on this journey.

The journey started with 12 people. Two of them, Mason McArthur and Karra Pasap, never took a break through the walk, and they fasted the whole time, only drinking water. This is how it was done in 1901. They had no food or shelter, and the journey took them four days.

Wynette McArthur BigEagle carried on her back a cradle board, which was used to hold infants.

Their journey took them south on Highway 9 to Carlyle and then west on Highway 13 until they reached Pheasant Rump, where they walked the street to the complex.

The group grew with people who joined the walk, with a lead vehicle for safety and several following for those that

now have two sons, Sedric, who is six, and Sully, age five. Travis has lived in Carlyle his whole life.

On Jan. 22, Ken King, the owner of King’s Department Store at the time, held a staff meeting, which the employees were not prepared for. King informed the staff that the business may need to close the doors due to some serious health issues he was having.

As soon as Moore heard this, she had an overwhelming feeling

needed a rest.

Pasap was honoured to take part in the journey, as he thought it gave people an idea of what they endured through these challenging times.

McArthur said although he feels he is in average physical condition, the walk took a toll on him, and he was exhausted when it was completed.

Ocean Man First Nation’s (OMFN) Chief Connie BigEagle was unable to attend due to a

she needed to purchase the business to keep it going.

She ran out of the store, phoned her husband and explained what was happening, and he jumped on board with his wife to buy the business.

“I had no idea at the beginning of January that I would be doing this,” said Jade Moore.

She explained that Ken King has been in business for over 40 years, he is an incredibly special person and this is a staple business

family issue, but OMFN was also part of this trauma in 1901.

With the walk taking ten hours to complete, this created a delay with the events planned for the afternoon.

Over the years, there have been difficulties between the first nations and this day was to move beyond this, and to commemorate and remember the sacrifices of their ancestors by honouring their people.

“The walk was in-

spirational,” said McArthur. “We are losing our elderly people and this way we can continue to tell the story to the young.”

Although things were delayed, they began the event with the pipe ceremony and then the feast was prepared.

More than 100 years ago, the women cooked the meal, and the men served it, and this is the tradition they did on this day.

The meal was set out

on tarps in the middle of the complex, and then selected young men danced around the feast with a ladle in hand, serving the guests.

The celebration of the nations went on into the late evening with a gahomni, which is special dance in a circle, and later an evening lunch.

McArthur said this has brought the communities together after much trauma, and through this all, they work on healing.

Brad and Michelle Cooper are proud of their daughter Jessica Cooper, who decided to join the Bow Valley Air Cadets in Oxbow.

The family lives in White Bear, and Jessica is a Grade 8 student in Oxbow.

Last September she asked to join the cadets. She wanted to try something that she normally would not do but felt there would be great skills to learn.

Learning commands and effective speaking skills are all part of the experience.

This being Jessica’s first year, and she entered the effective speech speak off. Jessica wrote and

titled her speech The Tragedy of the Avro Arrow. It was about the revolutionary plane that was developed and built in Canada and was capable of Mach 2. Design work on the CF-105 Arrow plane began in 1953, and was produced in 1957-1959. It had its first flight on March 25, 1958, and the project was cancelled by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker on Feb. 20, 1959. Jessica’s speech closed with a question of how far Canada could have advanced in aerospace technology if the program had not been scrapped. She also memorized her entire speech.

She won at club lev-

el and moved onto the zone level on Feb. 1. She had another task to do. The speakers are given 10-12 topics, they have to choose one, and they have five minutes to prepare a two-minute speech.

The topics are all based on aerospace technology as it is the Royal Canadian Air Force’s 100th anniversary year.

She won at the zone level and attended provincials in Regina on March 16, where she faced stiff competition. She didn’t win, but she was pleased with how she did.

“It was a really good experience to go to Regina and compete,” said Jessica. “I met some great people and learned a lot.”

Joining Air Cadets has been an enjoyable experience King’s is well known for customer

« A2 in the town, but he would not be able to train Moore due to what he was going through.

She needed to know the 11 employees would remain with the store and offer their support.

King is well known for his donations to many local and area businesses over the years. He always had a welcome smile for his

customers who come into the store and knows many by name. He originally had the main store, but when the space beside him came up for sale years later, he purchased it and made that part the ladies’ wear side.

King’s brother spoke to each employee privately and Moore

was excited to know they would all stay and offer her the muchneeded help she would require over the next while, learning about the business.

It was a key moment for Moore to know this, as they will train her, since King is unable to be a mentor.

To keep things going, the fall lineup of

clothing would need to be secured, so five of the staff, including Moore, travelled to Saskatoon for a trade show.

“It was so much fun,” said Moore. They have all kinds of displays, different clothes and colours, and the latest fashions. “It is similar to Homespun [Carlyle’s Homespun

Craft Show and Sale] with all the booths.”

All items for quantity and size need to be ordered and spoken for to ensure the clothing will arrive in the summer. They will keep the same popular name brands and have added a few new ones.

away from real estate and focus on this new adventure.

It is their goal to continue giving the “King’s Experience” with exceptional customer service, a wonderful atmosphere and the easy return policy, just like King had. They look forward to supporting causes like King always did.

“We are really honoured to take on King’s,” she said. She and her husband are co-owners, but their sons are also excited to help with items in the store.

Moore will step

The Moores look forward to seeing all the regulars and fresh faces at the store and hope for all the best for King in the future.

Budget includes additional money for new K-12 school in Carlyle, commitment for southeast MRI unit

By David Willberg

The budget that was handed down by the provincial government on March 20 includes support for a number of projects in southeast Saskatchewan.

For the second straight year, the fiscal plan has money to support a new kindergarten to Grade 12 school in Carlyle. While the budget does not specify how much money will be allocated for the new building in Carlyle, it notes that $165.9 million will be provided to support ongoing projects, including 11 new or consolidated school projects and three major renovations.

According to the South East Cornerstone Public School Division, the new Carlyle school will cost an estimated $34 million.

Students in Carlyle currently attend the Carlyle Elementary School and Gordon F. Kells High School.

Last year Carlyle was one of five projects to receive support for planning for a new K-12 school, creating lots of excitement in the town. The Carlyle Community Complex Foundation was formed in 2022 and has been raising funds for added amenities at a new school.

Also in the Cannington constituency,

there is $3 million for a flood passage project for Grant Devine Lake near Alameda. Patrick Boyle, the executive director of communications and client service with the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency, said there is a railway that crosses the channel downstream from the dam.

Under extreme flows, the railway embankment restricts flood waters from passing further downstream, creating dam safety concerns. The WSA is working with Canadian Pacific Kansas City Railway to address this.

The WSA recently completed a procurement options analysis that will help guide the selection of a procurement model to further the project. Over the next two years, the project will focus on detailed site investigations, engineering analysis and design.

Elsewhere in the southeast, the government has given the green light for the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation to begin fundraising for an MRI scanner at the hospital in Estevan. Once the scanner is in place, it will meet the needs of people throughout the southeast.

There is no money in this year’s budget for the MRI, since the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation has committed to

raise the full $6.5 million. But the government says it will cover the operating costs of the scanner once it is operational.

There is a $2 million head start, thanks to a donation by Elaine Walkom, who wants to bring a scanner to the southeast in memory of her late husband Grant, and to say thank you to the people of the region for supporting the Walkom family’s business, Hank’s Maintenance.

The foundation has officially launched its fundraising campaign, with information on its website on why the MRI is needed and the different ways people can support it.

“Because of Elaine Walkom’s persistence and her generous pledge to donate that unbelievable $2 million, we’ll have the opportunity to be part of this, to be part of making St. Joseph’s MRI a reality. So, it’s pretty exciting,” said SJHF executive director Lori Gervais.

The foundation has been getting ready to begin fundraising for the MRI. Gervais noted this will not be just an Estevan campaign, but a regional one, since people throughout the southeast will benefit from the addition of an MRI at the hospital.

Those who live in

the far southeast corner of the province had to travel at least three hours to get to the nearest MRI in Regina or Moose Jaw.

And once the southeast has an MRI, it will reduce wait times for those throughout southern Saskatchewan.

The business case for the MRI showed the total cost, including capital equipment, renovations, and staff training and start-up expenses, would be $6,266,000, including taxes. A contingency brings the total commitment to $6.5 million.

Renovating the di-

agnostic imaging area, where the MRI will be located, is to be the most expensive component of the project, as it would cost about $3.88 million.

Since the government gave its blessing, Walkom said has had a lot of messages thanking and congratulating her for her efforts. Among those she credited was Dean Martens of Alameda, who has also been an advocate for the project, for being “such a force”.

The provincial budget has a projected deficit of $273.2 million. Revenues are expected

Midway will kick off the summer in Carlyle

By Stephanie Zoer

Ten years ago, the Carlyle Fun Dayz committee created an event that was for the end of summer.

It has continued to grow, is well known in the area and held the third week in August, with entertainment throughout the day and evening, a large craft show, food vendors and games for kids.

During these 10 years, they have also been trying to lock in a carnival with a midway to start off the summer season. Tim Sedor said his wife Jen has been persistent with contacting companies in the hopes that one might take the chance.

When a carnival or midway comes to a town, it needs to make sure that it will be worth their while to go through all the work

with setting up the large equipment.

Jen Sedor’s constant pressure has paid off and the Canuck Amusements Midway from Selkirk, Man., will be in Carlyle from June 28-30, and will be set up at the Carlyle Sports Arena.

The amusement venture began in 1970 when Bob Sr. was asked to help a friend. A few years later, he ventured out on his own, with his family in support.

Canuck Amusements is a family-owned business that enjoys bringing the thrill of the rides, the excitement of winning a teddy bear and of course all the carnival treats.

The company prides itself on having dedicated, friendly and well-trained staff and all have three amusement device mechanics on hand at all times.

to be $19.86 billion and expenses are forecasted to be more than $20.13 billion.

The document forecasts the average price of oil will be US$77 per barrel for West Texas Intermediate. Oil production is expected to be 166.7 million barrels of oil for the third straight year.

Health-care spending is up by 10 per cent and there is also an 8.8 per cent increase for the education system. Municipal revenue sharing is up over 14 per cent from last year.

It is fully licensed and insured for all the provinces. Their season runs from April to October.

Sedor and the Carlyle Fun Dayz committee is thrilled to finally make this work and ask that people look forward for the updates that will come.

They also have big plans for the 10th anniversary of the Carlyle Fun Dayz that will happen in August.

Arcola Optimist Club presented over $30,000

By Stephanie Zoer

It was an evening of celebration, as members from local and surrounding clubs and organizations gathered with the Arcola Optimist Club at the Arcola OptimistLegion Hall on March 20 for the 31st annual snowmobile rally banquet.

This is a time when the club rewards the organizations for the work, they did in selling raffle tickets.

Over 70 people attended a roast beef supper prepared by Steve and Allison’s Catering from Lampman.

Optimist president Blake Brownridge welcomed everyone to the evening and was excited to have the International Optimist president Tracy Huxley in attendance. It is not often that the small towns receive such an honoured guest at their events, and Brownridge said this was truly an evening to remember.

Huxley, who hails from Ontario, is the fourth woman

to become president but is the first Canadian woman. She was to attend a youth band festival in Regina, but the event was cancelled, and she wanted to find something else to do.

Regina Downtowner’s Optimist Club sponsored the Arcola chapter when it started, and they decided to load up the vehicles and come to join in the festivities.

Ten people came to Arcola from the Regina club which included lieutenant governor for Zone 8 Charlotte Harris.

Once the meal was cleared, Brownridge took to the podium once more and thanked the caterers for the delicious meal. Brownridge also thanked all the volunteers for their work and the sponsors for their contributions over the years.

This year’s recipients were:

•The Arcola-Kisbey 4-H Club received $500;

•Moose Mountain Jumpers Gymnastics re -

ceived $1,136;

•The Arcola Curling Club was awarded $1,520;

•The Storm Volleyball Club received $2,240;

•The Arcola Figure Skating Club got $3,280;

•The Moose Mountain Snowmobile Club was given $3,888;

•The Arcola Daycare received $4,320;

•The Viper Volleyball Club’s grand total was $5,440;

•The Arcola Rodeo Committee and Moose Mountain Wildlife Federation each received $1,312; and

•Arcola Minor Hockey, the Lampman branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, Moose Mountain Karate Club and Arcola Travel Club each received $1,600.

At the end of the evening, Brownridge welcomed everyone to stay for a social.

Geordan Workman said it was fun year, and he was happy with the event. He feels they had a great turnout and support was terrific, and

he hopes to do it all again next year.

Huxley said that the optimists are in 28 countries, and this is the 106th year. She spoke about the Opti-

mist Creed, the need to be true to one’s self and always do our best. Optimists are the friends of youth and feel supporting them is the future.

Surgical information added to MySaskHealthRecord

Saskatchewan patients have even more of their own health information at their fingertips with the addition of a new surgical procedures feature on MySaskHealthRecord accounts.

The feature is a first in Canada and with its introduction, anyone with an account can now see information about upcoming surgeries, including scheduled procedure date, Specialist/surgeon’s name, procedure name(s) and location, and status of procedure. Accounts will also contain information about surgical pro-

cedures performed from 2018 onwards.

“MySaskHealthRecord puts important personal health information literally in the palm of a patient’s hand,” said Tim McLeod, the minister of Mental Health and Addictions, Seniors and Rural and Remote Health. “Saskatchewan continues to lead in allowing patients to access their own personal health information in an easy-to-use format. I’m happy to say that we are the first province to make information about upcoming surgical procedures available to

patients through their online health record.”

The surgical procedures feature will be accessible online and via the app for anyone who has a MySaskHealthRecord account. Patients awaiting surgery should already be able to see information about their upcoming procedures. Patients can also sign up for push notifications, alerting them to information.

“When patients like me can access medical information, it lets us become active participants in our own health care and reduces the anxiety

that can come from not knowing,” patient family partner Wendy Kopciuch said. “Having access to information about upcoming surgical procedures means I can have informed conversations with my health care team, and also arrange my personal and professional life to accommodate my surgery date.”

“Well-informed patients are better prepared for appointments with their health care providers and can be more directly involved in decisions impacting their surgical procedures,”

said Dr. Michael Kelly, the provincial department head of surgery for the Saskatchewan Health Authority. “When patients can easily access information ahead of time, it allows us to make good use of the time we have together. We spend less time on scheduling details and can focus on discussing their individual journey toward timely surgical care.”

MySaskHealthRecord was launched in October of 2019, giving Saskatchewan residents access to lab test results and other health

records online. The MySaskHealthRecord app was introduced in May 2023 to make accessing personal health information even easier.

The app has been downloaded an average of 10,000 times each month since then.

Residents who have a MySaskHealthRecord account can use it to see their clinical visit history, medical imaging reports, lab test results, immunization history, prescription history and now information about surgical procedures from 2018 onwards.

New members for Stoughton Lions

The Stoughton Lions Club inducted four new members on March 13. First vice-district governor Heather Vermeersch performed the ceremony. Also, Dorothy Knoch received a 20-year pin and Lynn Young received a 10-year pin. Guests from the Carlyle Lions Club and the Lampman Lions Club were in attendance.

Wolseley is excited to be one of four finalists in the nationwide Kraft Hockeyville competition.

Kraft Hockeyville began in 2006, and over the years has put $4.8 million into 97 communities across Canada. Many Saskatchewan towns have been selected to be finalists but have never won and Wolseley is hoping to be the first.

Eight years ago, the Wolseley Complex was only used for the skating club, and they had no minor hockey system in place. In the spring of 2016, a group of Wolseley hockey enthusiasts changed this.

They investigated how the community could support a junior C hockey team compet-

ing in the Qu’Appelle Valley Junior Hockey League.

This group not only established a successful franchise, but it encouraged a resurrection of the Wolseley Minor Hockey Association, which is still going strong.

The small town is at another crossroads with an aging ice plant, which is 44 years old.

A new ice plant system will run between $660,000 and $800,000, and the community has already raised $100,000 through fundraising in the last year.

Kraft Hockeyville’s grand prize is $250,000 and this could help the town in the cost of the new ice plant. They will also continue to fundraise.

Carlyle legion to again participate in banner project

By Doug Waldner

Banners will once again hang in Carlyle this year in honour of those who have served their country.

In 2022 and 2023, the Carlyle branch of the Royal Canadian Legion worked with Craig Bird of the South East Military Museum (SEMM) on the banner project.

This initiative consisted of posting banners around Carlyle with photographs of veterans. These banners were purchased by either family members or the Carlyle legion branch, and were posted prior to Remembrance Day.

The Carlyle legion is continuing to work on the veterans’ banner program for 2024.

We would like to reach out to all members of the Carlyle community whose

family member served, or is currently serving, in the military and would like to honour them. Our goal is to recognize and remember veterans who served, or are serving, with the Canadian Armed Forces or any allied forces.

With the help and cooperation with the Town of Carlyle, these banners will be hung in Carlyle at different locations around town from September until one week after Remembrance Day.

The banners can be purchased by family members, employers or legion branches. In order to be sure that the banners can be prepared on time, all information for this year is to be submitted before June 30.

Banners cost $200 and require a photo (preferably in uniform); the name and rank;

the unit the individual served with; and the era (such as the First World War, Second World War, the Korean War, the Afghanistan War, a peacekeeping mission, peacetime, etc).

People should also include who they want in the “Remembrance” portion of the banner.

If people would like to share their banner with another veteran, the cost would be $100. They would place one photo and information on each side of the banner.

For more information, contact Nedra Clark at 306453-2827 or email at gnclark23@gmail.com.

Please consider honouring a veteran in this manner, whether they be a family member, an employee or a past employee.

Kidvertising: A real-world introduction to print advertising for southeast Saskatchewan students

Kidvertising for the Observer began in 2021.

Observer administrator Dolores Young had been thinking up creative ways to get the community more involved in the paper. One idea was to ask students to create advertising for local businesses.

The Observer is always looking for creative advertising solutions for businesses in our distribution area, as well as a way to make a positive contribution to the community.

This checked off both boxes.

The Observer had the project planned for various schools in the area.

Schools taking part in this year’s Kidvertising are Korrin Lawrence’s Grade 5 class in Arcola, Tyler Fehrenbach’s Grade 6 class in Carlyle, Jaycee Piper’s students of Stoughton, and Lindsay Holizki’s Grades 5 and 6 and Whitney Paul’s Grade 8 class of Redvers.

The Observer wanted them to draw with a mean -

ing, not just produce things for their teacher, and create things for professionals to use on a day-to-day basis, so they can get real feedback from people in that business.

The Observer provided a list of 16 businesses that wanted to take part in the project, along with some guidelines for the young graphic artists like logos, company slogans and themes, and the exact size of space they could fill. Some students found their big -

gest challenge was controlling their impulse to cram everything into eighth-page ad spaces.

At the end of the project, ads were submitted to the businesses and the business made the choice of which ad would be published in The Observer.

Feedback was that students got a lot out of the Kidvertising experience.

The biggest benefit to them is thinking more creatively. It gets them to build

and work in genres outside their comfort zone instead of just doing what’s easiest for them.

They’re expanding their scope.

The students who have their design chosen to be published in The Observer will receive gift cards from various businesses.

The Observer is looking forward to doing the Kidvertising feature again with students and it is also open to all students whether or not a school participates.

With great sadness, the Boulet family announces the peaceful passing of their loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Angelina Eva Marie Boulet, on March 14th, 2024 in Red Deer, Alberta at the age of 92. Born on the Boutin family farm in southeast Saskatchewan near Cantal on October 24th, 1931, Angelina lived a long and fulfilling life. Her farm chores included fetching and milking the cows, gopher control, and getting into adventures with her two younger siblings. As one of the three “Little Ones”, Angelina had few responsibilities and her early years were filled with play. She attended high school at the convent in Forget, SK with her cousins and younger sister, where she enjoyed math and participating in sporting activities. School was always important to Angelina and she completed her schooling, eventually graduating with a grade 12 diploma which was not common back then. After high school Angelina moved to Alida, SK where she worked at Luke Lemieux’s general store. At the store, her duties ranged from serving customers to sharpening skates. It was while working at the store that she met her future husband Roland (Rollie) Boulet. Young Rollie was smitten by the raven-haired Angelina and love bloomed. They were married on July 3rd, 1954 at St. Raphael Roman Catholic Church in Cantal. Together they raised a family of five children: Colette, Daniel, Twain, Ailwin, and Toby. Shortly after their youngest was born in late 1963, Angelina and Rollie accepted a work transfer to Alberta, and they courageously began to build a new life for their family. They lived for a short time in Torrington, before settling in Olds in June 1964, where they resided in the same home for the next 59 years. The Boulet Family grew to include six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Angelina was immensely proud of her whole family and felt great honour in her role as a loving wife, mother, mother-inlaw, “Grandma Bee”, and “Grandmere”. After a busy and valued career as the “Household Manager” of the Boulet Home, Angelina “retired” in 1984 when the last of her children moved out on their own. For as long as anyone could remember, Angelina took great pride in helping out others and her community. She demonstrated this by sitting on a variety of boards, providing support through time and financial donations, and keeping company through good conversations. She was a proud member of many organizations including Olds Minor Hockey, the Olds Hospital Auxiliary, and St. Stephen’s Parish where she was always willing to help out with whatever was asked. Angelina also loved her Olds Grizzlys, where she sat on the board for nine years and cheered them on right until it became too cold for her to sit in the rink. Angelina had a variety of hobbies that kept her busy and her mind sharp. She was a master pie-maker with her family always fighting for their favorite slice or one of everything if allowed (The Danny Special!). Angelina took great pride in her needlework skills where she created clothes for those she loved including Halloween costumes, cozy sweaters with favorite characters, and special occasion dresses. Most of all, Angelina enjoyed spending time with those she loved whether it be in Olds, across Alberta, or into Saskatchewan. Her home became the “Boulet Family Hub” where year after year, the family stuffed themselves into the house to take part in the multitude of traditions Angelina had curated, especially with her French-Canadian heritage and at Christmas time. Her stories, thoughtfulness, wit, and willingness for others to lovingly style her hair will be greatly missed by all who know and love her. Angelina is survived by her loving family: Colette (Norman) McDougall, Daniel (Penelope) Boulet, Twain Boulet, Ailwin (Marjorie) Boulet, and Toby (Bernadine) Boulet; grandchildren Salena (Jonathan), Michelle (Simon), Erin (Michael), Joelle Boulet, and Mariko (Cameron); great-grandchildren Kieran, Ryker, Moira, Myles, Andrew, Alex, and Henry; sister Marie-Rose Piwowar; siblings-in-law Marguerite Boutin, Bertha Boutin, Irene Boutin, and Lucien Boulet; as well as members of both the extended Boutin and Boulet families. Angelina was predeceased by her husband of 65 years, Roland; her grandson, Logan; her siblings Romeo (1922-1923), Julia, Victoria, Antonio, Rosario, Romeo, Florida (1930), and Laurier; and her parents, Joseph Onil Romeo Boutin and Marie (Gervais) Boutin.

Jeannie loved to laugh and her joy was contagious, what a pleasure it was to be around her! She welcomed everyone with her beautiful smile and had a way of making each and everyone feel special, she loved to brighten peoples’ days, and there was nothing that brightened her day more than to be around and helping the people she loved.

Wendy’s Wrestling Rascals takes on provincials

By Stephanie Zoer

Wendy Marcotte runs a certified daycare out of her home in Carlyle, but she is also a wrestling coach.

Having coached wrestling for years, she decided to start a wrestling school when she moved to Carlyle.

Marcotte transformed her garage into a wrestling studio and instantly had some of her daycare kids want to try it out. Once they did, these kids were hooked on the sport.

Kids need to be at least four years old to join and she has several that are eagerly waiting to sign up when they become of age. At present, Wendy’s Wrestling Rascals (WWR) has eight students and they practise a couple of times a week.

Most of her athletes began in November and have attended at least one tournament, but in February, Lennox Armstrong joined the daycare and he also wanted to try the sport. After he had his first lesson, he wanted to join, leaving only four weeks to get ready for provincials. Since it was his first tournament, they needed to get Lennox prepared, so they went and joined the Weyburn team and held a mini tournament so the athletes could get the feel of it.

Marcotte feels this helped all the athletes get ready.

The Sask Wrestling Provincial Championship was held in Weyburn on March 23, with 135 kids attending. Marcotte said this

was a pretty good-sized tournament. They had three age groups, under-9, U11 and U13.

The WWR did quite well, and they had new singlets sponsored by Michaels Coffee Shop in Carlyle.

Sully Moore took home a silver medal, and Weston Dormuth won bronze.

Sedric Moore and Lennox each placed fourth in their divisions, while Lincoln Brown took home a fifth.

Marcotte said all the kids were sad to see the season end and it seems to have gone by quickly, so they decided to continue with lessons into the spring.

Leesons will resume in the fall and at that time, the eager kids that will turn four will be able to join.

Moosomin Rangers win Big Six championship

For the first time since 2004, the Moosomin Rangers are the Big Six Hockey League’s champions.

The Rangers defeated the Redvers Rockets 5-3 on Monday night in Redvers to win the best-offive league final in three straight games. The win also avenged last year’s league final, in which Redvers swept Moosomin in three straight.

Game 3 was tied at 1-1 after the first period and 3-3 after two. Kenton Miller (Redvers) and Bud Holloway (Moosomin) scored in the first period.

Ryker Cole tallied for Moosomin 12 seconds into the second, but Bradey Fidierchuk replied for Redvers. Carter Sawchuk restored Moo-

somin’s advantage, but Koltyn Miller tied the game again for Redvers.

Josh Elmes’ powerplay goal with 5 1/2 minutes to play in the third period proved to be the winning goal, and in the final minute, Cole added his second of the game into an empty net to clinch Moosomin’s title.

Kyler Beckett was in goal for Moosomin, while Cody Matthewson was Redvers’ netminder.

Moosomin won Game 1 3-2 on March 15, and took Game 2 4-3 in overtime on March 21.

Game 2 was scoreless after the first period.

Daylin Smallchild scored to give Redvers a 1-0 lead. Elmes tied the game for Moosomin, but Kenton Miller scored to restore

the Rockets’ advantage. All three goals came in the opening four minutes of the middle frame.

Monty Driver tied the game for Moosomin early in the third. It remained a 2-2 game until Presten Kopeck scored for Redvers with 3:52 to play in the third, but Holloway tied the game again 81 seconds later.

Drew Schiller notched the winner for Moosomin 29 seconds into overtime.

Beckett and Matthewson were also in goal for Game 2.

Moosomin rejoined the Big Six in 2021 after the Rangers’ previous loop, the Triangle League, folded.

While the Big Six season is over, the Rockets’ season is ongoing, as they are facing Macklin in the Hockey Saskatchewan Senior D final. Macklin took Game 1 4-3 in overtime on Saturday

Wawota U15 Flyers had a great season

It was a great 202324 season for the Wawota U15 Flyers.

The Flyers were the top team in the Moose Mountain Minor Hockey League all season, finishing in top spot with a perfect 22-0 record.

The success continued in the playoffs, as they opened with a sweep of the Milestone Flyers, taking Game 1 4-2 and Game 2 4-1.

Then they played the Estevan Knights in the semifinal round. Wawota won both of those games as well, 5-2 in Game 1 and 6-1 in Game 2.

The Flyers ran into the Radville Young Nationals in the final. Radville handed the Flyers their first loss in league action this season, 4-3 on March 19, and finished the series with a 4-1 win on March 21.

night in Macklin.

Drew Hoff, Potapinski and Koltyn Miller scored for Redvers. Thomas Bauche was in goal.

Game 2 will be March 30 in Redvers at 7 p.m. Game 3, if necessary, would be the following day, also in Redvers, starting at 3 p.m.
