Gracie’s quilt gets hand-delivered to Ukrainian girl

By Stephanie Zoer

Earlier this year, Gracie Rohatyn made a quilt for a young Ukrainian girl and hoped to give it to her once she arrived in Canada.

Gracie is a 12-yearold girl from Regina, but her great-grandmother Dorothy Rohatyn lives in Wawota.

Gracie was at Rohatyn’s home when the news came on TV about Russia’s war against Ukraine. Gracie asked her great grandmother what this meant, and upon explaining it to Gracie, it made the young girl extremely sad, and she wanted to do something.

They sent money to help families, but Gracie wanted to do something more personal for a family with a young girl. This is when the quilt began.

Gracie just started sewing at Christmas and her grandma had an unfinished quilt. It was decided that Gracie would complete this

THE

quilt with help, with the intent to give it to a Ukraine girl.

Now fast forward to June when the Ukrainian family arrived to live in Wawota. The father, Andrii Mishtal, had arrived a month earlier.

Gracie knew the time for the delivery was coming soon.

After a gruelling 28hour journey, loaded with backpacks and suitcases, the rest of Mishtal’s family would finally be here. This must have been an extremely exciting time for the family. Mishtal’s wife, Svitlana, their 14-year-old son Pavlo, their eight-year-old daughter Polina and their little Yorkie dog Mickey were in Wawota.

Gracie could finally hand deliver her prize quilt that she made especially for a young girl to come to Canada. This was exciting for Gracie.

Mishtal only knew a little English, but with the help of a Google app translator, it all worked out. Once the girls fig-

ured out how to use the app, they quickly got to know each other.

The quilt was made with vibrant colours to signify a bright future.

A tag was also placed on the border as a special remembrance for the pair. Polina was incredibly grateful for the beautiful gift.

Not to leave anyone out, a throw blanket was given to Pavlo as well. Mickey had a wonderful time with his new tennis ball and squeaky toy, which entertained the quests.

With a committee member present as well, Svitlana served her guests a beverage and ice cream and introduced them to Ukraine candy.

An enjoyable visit was had by all, with the conversation revolving around Canadian customs, school, sports and food.

Pavlo and Polina did attend Wawota Parkland School to familiarize themselves with the layout, staff, and rou-

From left, Pavlo Mishtal, Polina Mishtal and Gracie Rohatyn finally meet after the family arrived from Ukraine. Photo by Dorothy Rohatyn ta. Andrii has secured a full-time job and Svitlana is still looking for employment.

The two girls have plans to see each other over the summer holi-

tines of the school. This would make the transition in the fall much easier.

The Mishtal family moved into a fully furnished house in Wawo-

days.

It is hoped that two more families will arrive in the near future, through the help of the Wawota Ukraine committee.

A special evening in Oxbow for the Class of 2022

By Paul Kimball Brody Dorrance walked to the front, looking for mom.

Those nearby heard a gentle “aah” from Janelle when he found her.

He had given her a red rose to celebrate the evening.

That was just one special moment in an evening filled with them. The occasion was Oxbow Prairie Horizons School’s grad ceremony, held on June 29 in the Bow Valley Park.

Last year’s grad was held outdoors and this year’s planning com-

mittee wanted to do it again. It didn’t look too promising. Ninety minutes before the start, it rained and hail was reported in the area.

But by 5 p.m., the sun was out and everything was dry. Even Mother Nature wasn’t going to interfere with this day.

One by one, 39 grads worked their way to the stage carrying a rose.

Each made two stops; one to give a parent a rose (and in many instances a hug) and the second, to receive their diploma.

A 40th diploma was given out. Carter Dietz

had passed away earlier in the year, much to the shock and sadness of his class. His two brothers, Kaden and Hunter, accepted the honourary diploma on his behalf.

As a tribute to Carter, each student wore a pin picturing a semi-colon to bring awareness to the tragedy of mental health.

Carter’s passing was felt throughout the whole ceremony.

Principal Mark Kosior pointed out that this year’s class was likely the best in Oxbow’s history academically. Five students

finished with an average exceeding 99 per cent and 11 more surpassed 95 per cent. All in all, 34 grads finished with averages above 80 per cent.

As a result, more than $100,000 in scholarships were awarded.

There was an interesting twist with one of them. Viktoria Forseth, a former student who passed away far too early, has a scholarship established in her memory. Her brother Kolby came forward to announce Keinna Freitag as the winner, but when Frietag came up to accept, she surprised everyone by declaring that she wasn’t the winner. The actual winner was Kolby who came forward again, this time to accept.

Freitag ended up with the highest average and earned the distinction of being class valedictorian. Her speech extolled the humility and kindness of her classmates.

A few tributes were given. First, Makenzie Kitz paid homage to the parents. Her dad, Shane, responded. Cassidy Lamontagne then offered a tribute to the staff of the school. Teacher Ashley Kosior replied to that.

Tributes are often used to get in some humourous digs, but not on this occasion. The words were genuine and respectful and showed the humility and kindness that Freitag had spoken of earlier.

Photo submitted by Paul Kimball As the evening drew to a close, guest speaker Tracey Arnold addressed the class and audience.

Arnold graduated from Oxbow in 1996. In 1990, her family was involved in an horrific car accident that left her in a wheelchair. Despite her disability, she is an impressive arm-wrestler and plays goal for Canada’s women’s sledge hockey team.

Her message was very inspirational. She emphasized that everyone’s life journey is different and includes various setbacks. She challenged all, from her own life

story, not to be defeated by those setbacks, but rather to see opportunities in loss. Her message was the exclamation mark on a very inspirational evening.

The evening finished with a dance. Students danced with their escorts and with their parents. Then everyone headed into town for the grad parade, a parade on foot following the car that Carter Dietz used to drive.

From start to finish, it was an uplifting, emotionally encouraging evening. It was a grad that was filled with many stories.

White Bear First Nations celebrates Canada Day

By Gord Paulley Perfect weather attracted a crowd of hundreds last Friday as the White Bear First Nations hosted an event for Canada Day. The day started off with a well-attended pancake breakfast, sponsored and served

by Element Technical Services. The annual parade started promptly at 11 a.m. from the lake store. There were many floats, some horses and numerous children sporting their decorated faces and bicycles.

The grassy grounds were impeccably groomed and ready for the celebration. There was a horseshoe tournament, a volleyball tournament and a mini ferris wheel. For the kids there was a threelegged race, a balloon pop race, a potato sack race, a magic carpet race and an egg toss.

There was face painting, rock painting and laser tag.

White Bear Lake itself was blanketed with pontoon boats, fishing boats and boats used for waterskiing and tire tubing. Out on the lake, rides were given to many, including elders. A free barbecue was held in the afternoon and the lineups were long. It was sim-

ply an enjoyable day for everyone.

The celebrations concluded with an impressive and lengthy fireworks display. Many of those who attended praised the White Bear Band and its many organizing committees.

“The day started great and ended great,” said White Bear summer resident Earl Silcox.

“It was probably one of most well-attended Canada Day events in years. It was well-organized and the fireworks show was simply fantastic.”

Jodi Onufreychuk resides in Manor and partook in the festivities with many family and friends.

“Canada Day 2022 can only be summed up as perfect,” she said.

“The weather was a perfect temperature for having the grand babies out. Our whole family spent the entire day at White Bear. Great job to the crew who planned the event. Capped the night off with a spectacular fireworks show.”

Carlyle resident Lois Paul was impressed with the parade.

“It was nice that the Aboriginal people had so many floats,” she said. “I loved the White Bear float with their kids on it and their native headdresses. It showcased their cul-

Brad and Michelle Cooper live at Good Birds Point and had a fabulous view of the fireworks.

“It was a fantastic show. We’re very fortunate that there is the support needed to put on such a great display in our little resort. Our kids really enjoyed it and it was a wonderful end to our Canada Day celebrations.”

Chris Hornsby is the nations development CEO at White Bear First Nations.

“It was a great Nations Day of inclusion and celebration. The hard work of nations and cottage volunteers

and smiles of a day of Heaven by the Lake and brilliant colours

by night with the fireworks. Thank you to all, it was a good day.”

Canada Day a great day in Redvers

By Paul Kimball While many Canadian cities and towns debated celebrating Canada Day this year, the town of Redvers decided to pull out all the stops. A full day of activities was offered and the turnout was good.

A pancake breakfast hosted by the Knights of Columbus kicked off the day. Eighty-eight-yearold Emile Magotiaux said that this breakfast has been going on for as long as he can remember. Others confirmed that it has been a part of the celebrations for about 40 years.

Close to 300 people enjoyed the breakfast, which is the most that anyone can remember.

A mixed slo-pitch tournament ran throughout the day.

Eight teams took part, with six of them coming all the way from Redvers. The two other

teams drove further, coming from Manor and Storthoaks.

A parade featuring older cars, trucks, tractors, golf carts, firetrucks and horses took place at 1 p.m. The children loved the parade, mostly because treats were tossed from the vehicles. Adults were also observed scrambling for the candies.

A bouncy castle was up and running during the afternoon, giving the kids an opportunity to use up some of the energy that the parade treats infused.

The local fire department ran a Children’s Fireman Rodeo. This was well-attended with over 100 kids pulling and hoisting hoses, pushing weights and crawling through tunnels. It gave them an opportunity to try their hand at being a firefighter.

The Canada Day celebrations came to an end

About 45 members of the Poirier family descended on Redvers to celebrate Canada Day and Lucie’s birthday.

headed home, except for two families who were using the Canada Day weekend as an excuse to have reunions. About 45

Poiriers (from Victoria, B.C., to Gatineau, Que.) and 50 Purvises and Nixons (from Alberta to Ontario) stayed for the

weekend and continued to celebrate, moving their emphasis from being Canadians to being family.

“To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.”

- Nelson Mandela

Medicare lessons can still apply to today

By Murray Mandryk

To maybe better understand the fight over COVID-19 in the last two years, let’s explore the fight to bring in Medicare 60 years ago.

In one major way, it’s quite similar and boils down to one single word.

“The sentiment expressed today is ‘freedom,’” said author and former newspaper political column Dale Eisler in a recent interview with Postmedia.

“It (the Medicare fight) was about overreach by government. The doctors at the time used the term conscription: ‘We are being conscripted into this’.”

Immediately after the former Co-operative Commonwealth Federation government (which morphed into the NDP) implemented the province’s universal Medicare law on July 1, 1962, most Saskatchewan doctors went on a 23-day strike.

Eisler, who wrote about the 1962 Medicare implementation crisis in his books Rumours of Glory: Saskatchewan & the Thatcher Years and False Expectations: Politics and the Pursuit of the Saskatchewan Myth, noted doctors of the day were even more politically charged than today.

In fact, this was something that at least one doctor later admitted: “We were clumsy, awkward, we were highly rhetorical, we used all the antics of bad politicians: exaggeration, dire threats of what might happen,” said the late conservative Senator Dr. Staff Barootes in an interview with Eisler for his book False Expectations. “Our concern was that once government took physician care services, we would become technicians or tradesmen being paid salaries by only one paymaster.”

And doctors received plenty of high-power political and heavyweight support. One such supporter was Ken Kramer of Kramer Tractor, who was then president of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

After attempting to get Roughrider players to speak out against the implementation of Medicare, Kramer solicited Father Athol Murray of Notre Dame Hounds fame for a speaking tour during the doctors’ strike.

The fiery Catholic priest did not mince words: “We must get off the fence and make our views known,” Murray said in a July 8, 1962 speech in Prince Albert, reported by the Prince Albert Daily Herald. “This thing may break out into violence and bloodshed any day now and God help us if it doesn’t.”

At a later rally that day at a Saskatoon high school, Murray’s rhetoric became even sharper.

But notwithstanding the anger, fierce rhetoric and rallies at the Saskatchewan legislature attracting thousands, the then-Woodrow Lloyd-led CCF government did not budge. On July 23, 1962, an agreement was reached with the doctors, one that allowed them to opt out, ending the strike.

The CCF would pay a significant political price, losing the 1964 provincial election. Also, the architect of Medicare, Tommy Douglas, who by that point had left provincial politics to lead the newly formed federal NDP, would lose a seemingly safe Regina seat.

But the Ross Thatcher Liberal government that replaced the CCF did not scrap Medicare. In fact, within a decade it would be adopted as a national policy by ensuing Progressive Conservative and Liberal governments.

To this day, public health remains imperfect, but it also is a source of immense national pride.

So perhaps the lesson of its implementation 60 years ago is that even the most vitriolic political/ health care debates do simmer down.

After all, if we could survive the Medicare fight 60 years ago, one suspects we could survive most anything.

Laze around. It’s a biological imperative.

Shelley Luedtke Songwriter Hans Carste and lyricist Hans Bradtke wrote the popular Du spielst ‘ne tolle Rolle.

Doesn’t sound familiar? An English translation and a recording by a famous jazz and big band singer put the song on the map, even reaching No. 14 on the Billboard chart.

It happened when a studio wanted Nat King Cole to record songs that dated back to the early 1900s, or at least sounded like they did.

Described as “catchy and lighthearted performances”, it included a recording of the newly translated Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer.

The song pre-dates a lot of us but its lyrics include images of “days of soda”, “basket full of sandwiches”, “some romantic movie scenes” and “kissin’ in the car”, all taking place in the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.

Ah … summer days.

They certainly can evoke

the feelings and promise of sun and long glorious hours. Yet we know it can quickly become a rather busy season since summer is seen as a good time to catch up with projects around the house and yard, not to mention all the gardening many enjoy, so there’s little opportunity to experience anything hazy, although crazy might be a good descriptor.

Meantime, social calendars fill up during these months as weddings, reunions, holidays, summer camp and get-togethers require our time and attendance. So given all that, can there possibly be any truth to summer being a lazy time? Should it be?

It turns out it is just fine to feel a bit lazy in the summer. More than fine. In fact, studies back up the fact that it is a biological reality.

Hot weather does, indeed, make us a bit lazy, thanks to the need for internal temperature regulation, our reaction to natural light, our need to expend more energy in the heat, and other factors that make us feel a bit more sluggish and lethargic.

Harvard Business School research found that hot weather affects our cognition and generally makes us sleepier. It concluded employees are more productive on

rainy days and we are capable of making more rapid and accurate decisions when we are in cooler temperatures.

I know this is true for me. I take much more delight in being active in cooler weather than I am when heat or humidity suck the energy out of my body at breakneck speed. It has made for some interesting moments on vacation. Most of our holidays have been taken in the summer months and some of the places we’ve gone have been hot, humid locations. Hot and sticky.

And sweaty.

Places where my hair falls flat and I look like a drowned rat. Places where bottled water can sell for upwards of $4, and although I don’t have much of an appetite when it’s hot, let’s just say I never underestimate the importance of hydration.

So, while my freshfaced, energetic family is bounding to the next activity regardless of the temperature, my spirit is always willing but, sometimes, the flesh feels weak.

There are places on the globe where life seems to move at a decidedly different pace than others, and often those differences have a great deal to do with climate. Where temperatures are warmer, schedules seem to be more flexible. Slower is preferred. There’s little

need to rush, because where is the enjoyment in that?

Beyond that, taking time to enjoy the sun and warmth can provide a bunch of lifestyle benefits like increased intake of vitamin D, improved circulation and a boost to our mood and memory.

Yes, the sun and heat might make us a bit weary, but it also brings some really good things we need to make the most of. While schedules may be full, it’s important to give ourselves permission to sit and dip our toes in the lake, take an afternoon nap in a lawn chair, or enjoy an unhurried visit out on the deck. Life will be better when we do.

While summer days can become quite busy we need to be sure we are taking time to soak in all the good stuff because regrettably it doesn’t stay with us very long. So, before we begin bemoaning how quickly it is going, let’s be sure we are enjoying what is here right now.

Crazy and hazy may not be the preferred words to describe the coming weeks, but let’s all be reminded that there is a biological reality that permits (dare I say, requires) that we embrace a bit of laziness.

Over the coming weeks we should each try and hit the mark more than a few times. That’s my outlook.

Carlyle RCMP on patrol during the long weekend

For the first time in two years, Canada Day festivities were back in full force, with lots of celebrations and events.

The Carlyle RCMP and the Saskatchewan conservation officers teamed up during the weekend, and targeted boaters at Moose Mountain Provincial Park to ensure people were complying with the laws, as well and making sure everyone was as safe as possible. Believe it or not, some people actually believe that it is okay to consume and possess liquor or cannabis on a boat.

The only type of boat that alcohol or cannabis can be consumed on is a houseboat, and even with houseboats they must be moored or anchored permanently on a shore for the activity to be legal.

Officers checked 14 boats for consuming alcohol and fishery reasons. A total of 25 warnings and fines were given out during the course of the weekend on the water.

There were 32 speeding tickets handed out this week in the area, with the highest ticket of the week going to a male going 125 kilometres per hour in a 90 km/h zone. The male received a $300 fine.

On June 25, the RCMP received a report that a white Jeep pulled into the driveway at House 56 on White Bear First Nations and hit a parked vehicle on the driver’s side. Carlyle RCMP is requesting anyone with information about this incident to contact the Carlyle RCMP by calling 306-453-6707. Information can be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submitting a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers. com.

On June 27, the RCMP received a call of an intoxicated male dressed in black, urinating on the side of Highway 13 near Carlyle. No vehicles were observed near the intoxicated person. RCMP attended the area but they were unable to locate the subject.

On June 28, the RCMP received a report from the Wawota Fire Department, advising that an old fuel truck caught fire in the RM of Wawken. The fire chief believed that the fire was caused by the battery shorting out. Luckily the fire department was close and was able to contain the fire.

Also that day, the RCMP received a report from a CP Rail engineer who advised that four teenagers were playing near the railway tracks in Carlyle.

The teenagers were throwing rocks at the train and touching the cars. The engineer had to use the emergency brakes to stop the train and he was worried about the teenagers getting under the train.

Officers attended and

determined the teenagers who were responsible. The teenagers admitted they were touching cars on the train and were warned about the dangers as well as possible fines. Sometimes common sense isn’t very common, but please take this time to talk to your kids about the dangers of playing near the train tracks.

Also on June 28, the RCMP received a report of a big fight taking place at a party outside a residence at White Bear. Members attended and found occupants of the residence highly intoxicated, along with blood on the ground outside the residence.

Members confirmed that no one was injured at the residence but determined who the injured person was.

The RCMP then located the injured person who had gone home and went to sleep. RCMP checked and ensured he was okay.

On June 29, RCMP responded to a male on Highway 13 that was attempting to run in front of vehicles on the highway.

The male was attempting to run in front of vehicles coming from both directions in what appeared to be a suicide attempt. Fortunately, the RCMP members were able to locate the intoxicated male and get him the help he needed before he was seriously injured.

I debated if I should put this in the paper this week, but I feel this gives people a true representation of the state a lot people’s mental health is in right now. Please reach out to those people in your lives you feel may need help right now.

On July 1, RCMP responded to a complaint of an intoxicated female consistently ringing the doorbell at a residence on White Bear First Nations.

RCMP attended and located the female who agreed to leave and go to her mother’s house.

Also that day, RCMP received a report of two males drinking and driving in a red Lincoln car at Kenosee Lake. Officers attended and located the vehicle. The RCMP received a sample of the driver’s breath which confirmed that the driver of the vehicle was impaired by alcohol.

On July 1, RCMP received a call from White Bear Resort, advising that an intoxicated male was walking around private cabins and yards. RCMP attended, located and arrested the intoxicated male for being intoxicated in public. The male received a free holiday stay at the RCMP Bed and Breakfast and was released the next morning when he was sober.

On July 2, RCMP were called to a tenant dispute, which normally the RCMP does not get involved with due to the disagreements usually being civil in nature. However, in this case two evicted persons were intoxicated and threatening the homeowner. The tenants were arrested for being intoxicated in pubic as well as to prevent the continuation and escalation of an offence. The two tenants received a short stay at the RCMP Bed and Breakfast until they were sober.

No complaints this week involving “the cows”. Either they are running scared or they are taking their time to plan their next mooooove.

It’s okay not to be okay!

I want to ensure that if someone needs help the Suicide Prevention Line is always available in the paper for them. We want to encourage everyone to reach out for help and talk

Judy Finseth loves to sketch and paint

By Stephanie Zoer

Judy Finseth is a big fan of sketching and painting. It shows in her artwork, which was displayed at the Artist Colony of Moose Mountain Provincial Park.

Finseth was born and raised in Saskatoon.

When she was young, she always had a creative touch. It would not be long until she realized she had a knack to paint and draw. Her skills would truly blossom as she grew older.

For the past 20 years, Finseth has created beautiful oil paintings of animals, landscapes and has been inspired by such places as Writing

on Stone Provincial Park near Lethbridge, Alta.

All it takes is a photograph for Finseth to see her next project. With blending of colours on her canvas, her piece will slowing materialize into a work of art. Finseth paints whatever inspires her at the time.

Oil painting takes time, as the colours need to be a pleasing composition. Paintings can take as long as six months to dry, especially the white or when a piece needs to be built up. It is all in the blending of the colours to make it work.

Finseth has attended the Alberta College of Art and Design.

“I’ve always been

fortunate to live near a major city to display my art,” she said.

She now resides near Tofield, Alta., where she works as an editor for the Canadian Hereford Magazine. This job keeps her quite busy, but she always finds time to pick up her paint brush.

Finseth lives with her husband on the family homestead, where they raise Hereford cattle.

The homestead has been in the family since 1896. Their horses are used for ranch work and her border collies for herding. At one time her dogs were shown, but now work on the ranch only.

This was Finseth’s first time at the colony.

Finseth said, “The cabins are in great shape, as they have been restored.

It is such a beautiful historic site.”

Finseth is the sister of Ken Frederickson, who is a permanent resident at the colony. The talent must run in the family.

Although Finseth was only at the colony until July 4, she will be back to Saskatchewan later this month, but in Assiniboia.

The Shuniak Art Gallery in Assiniboia is holding a retreat for artists from July 18-22.

This art gallery was established in 2005 and founded by Bill Shuniak.

Judy Finseth has loved painting and has done so for over 20 years. Photo by Judy Finseth It displays his private collection and was funded by Shuniak.

Finseth is one of many artists that will attend this event, which will be

held at the curling rink in Assiniboia.

If you did not get a chance to visit Finseth at the Artist Colony, you can visit her at the retreat.

Carnduff ’s graduates were free from masks this year

By Paul Kimball A video was shown at the Carnduff Education Complex grad. It profiled graduating students and captured moments of their years together. One thing was very prominent – masks.

This year’s graduates spent all three of their high school years dealing with COVID. This was the COVID class graduation.

Principal Ryan Nichols refused to say the ‘C’ word while addressing the students, noting that their ability to overcome ‘C’ obstacles prepared them for life challenges that lay ahead.

The evening contained the usual things.

First, the students entered the gym. The young men led the way, showing off their graduation garb. The young women followed, dazzling the audience with their attire. Graduation scrolls, scholarships and bursaries were handed out to the 28 graduates who were present, while

one absentee was verbally recognized.

Alisa Paul’s 98 per cent average earned her the honour to be the valedictorian. Her speech thanked the students’ parents, friends and teachers, and she left a challenge to her fellow students to use the knowledge they had gained in school to acquire further knowledge in life.

Following the ceremony, the graduates paraded through town on flatbed trailers. The ceremony had been limited to parents and invitees, so most from town were unable to attend, although they could watch the ceremony online.

The parade was the community’s opportunity to express their congratulations.

This was that day’s second parade. Earlier, the graduates had paraded past Sunset Haven to give the seniors an opportunity to pass on their congratulations and to take in the fashions of the graduates.

There were two notable absentees in the audience. Vasyl Zhenchuk’s ex-wife, Maria was back in Ukraine, as was Lesya Pinyak’s ex-husband, Vasyl. Zhenchuk and Pinyak are now married to each other and live in Carnduff. Zhenchuk’s son Ivan and Pinyak’s daughter Zoryana were both part of the graduating class. With all the negative news coming from their homeland these days, it was good to see them celebrating on this evening.

Twenty-one of the 29 graduates plan to attend school this fall, taking courses ranging from service and canine management to getting a diploma in being an outdoor adventure guide.

Seven others are heading directly into the work force. One is choosing a third option. She plans to spend time travelling.

As enjoyable as it was watching the grads and their masks in the video, it was so much better seeing them without them on the stage.

What’s happening in AGRICULTURE Webers are young queens of the rodeo

Provincial Ambassadors.

These are just several of the many positive attributes that relate to these two young women.

Living just minutes east of Carlyle on the north side of Highway 13, sisters Ashley and Cassidy Weber have developed quite a reputation. Born and raised on the farm, the Weber girls have always loved farm animals, especially horses. Like their mother Jennie, they started rodeoing early in their lives and have never looked back.

Ashley is 15 years old and will be enrolled in Grade 11 this fall at Manor School. Cassidy turned 19 in June and just completed her first year of postsecondary education. She attended South Plains College in Levelland, Texas,

where she is enrolled in ag business. Levelland has a population of 13,000 and is located on the western side of the state.

Cassidy started barrel racing when she was 10, Ashley at nine. Both girls started roping when they were 12. Cassidy presently owns six horses, three of which presently perform.

Fifteen-year-old Harvey is her veteran barrel horse and six-year-old Buck Cherry is her breakaway horse. Veteran Scarface is 16 years old and is her head horse and personal favourite.

Ashley also owns six horses.

Nine-year-old Rolex is her barrel horse.

Female 10-year-old Scoot is her breakaway and healing goat horse. Fourteenyear-old Hickory is her pole bending horse and she is Ashley’s favourite.

Both sisters have annually participated in Saskatchewan High School Rodeos. Cassidy won the title of all-around cowgirl in 2018, 2019 and 2020.

She was the breakaway roping champion of 2019, 2020 and 2021, and she was also the pole-bending champion of 2018.

Ashley is following in her sister’s footsteps. The 2022 Saskatchewan High School Rodeo was held in Maple Creek this past May. She won champion pole bending, placed third in goat tying, and was the Reserve All Around Cowgirl of the Year. Ashley can enter two more annual high school rodeo competitions in both 2023 and 2024. There is no doubt additional successes are forthcoming.

With school over for the year, the sisters have a busy schedule this summer. On the June 22nd weekend, they competed in a Las Vegas qualifying event in High River, Alta. Ashley placed first in under-15 girl’s breakaway and goat tying, Cassidy finished second in the 19 and under breakaway event.

It is interesting to note that after returning home from the High River event at midnight, the girls immediately started practising with their horses into the wee hours.

Cassidy has both her Canadian and American pro rodeoing permits and Ashley her junior Canadian Cowboy’s Association (CCA) permit. From now until the end of the August, they will be competing in many Western Canadian events and will be on the road together all the way to Williams Lake, B.C. Cassidy will continue entering events in the United States later this fall.

The siblings were asked, what is your favourite part of rodeoing?

“It is the cowboy atmosphere and the friendships you make along the way,” said Cassidy.

Added Ashley, “I like the adrenaline rush when you mount your horse and start your ride.”

Cassidy and Ashley are very well-mannered individuals and both have pleasing personalities.

They are great ambassadors for rodeoing and the province of Saskatchewan.

What’s happening in AGRICULTURE Speckled park cattle developed in Saskatchewan

By Stephanie Zoer Regan Clarke loves farming. She loved it so much she moved to the farm of her grandparents, Bernie and Loretta Threinen, when she was 15 years old.

The Beretta Farm is located near Lampman.

It has seen dairy cows, beefalo, beef, horses and now the speckled park cattle.

At one time, Threinen bred and raised Arabian horses and also half-bred Arabians. This family is well known in the Arabian show world. Clarke also had her own horses, which she showed in western pleasure and English hunt. She is an avid horsewoman with many ribbons under her belt.

On the farm, Clarke helped with all aspects of farming, including calving, which means midnight checks during calving season, as well as tagging, needling, haying and all other requirements related to the farm. She drives all

the equipment and has no issues with hauling any of the animals.

Now a young adult, Clarke would meet her husband Darrion, and he also enjoyed the farm, but also loves Volkswagen vehicles.

At first, they lived in Estevan, but this proved to be a chore driving from the city to the farm each day, so they bought a house and had it moved to the farm.

Although they still have a couple of horses, the focus is on cattle. The main herd is black angus, but Darrion wanted to start a different breed.

After doing research they came across the speckled park and purchased their first cow in March 2016 and named her Daisy. Daisy was worth her weight in gold, as she has an ease with birthing, produces strong calves and is a great mother, with loads of milk.

Speckled parks were developed in Saskatchewan in 1959. The

speckled pattern or colour derive from a single bull with the colour-pointed markings of the British White Park. It is one of only a few breeds developed in Canada.

The Clarkes purchased two more cows in 2019 and another in 2020. The results were great. The breed is known for ease of calving, milk production and being great mothers.

The calves are quick to nurse, smart and much more playful in the first 24 hours of life.

Due to issues with calving in the commercial black angus herd, it was decided to try a speckled park bull with the angus cows. They purchased Graham Creek Hayes in 2021 and crossed him with the angus cows. He did not disappoint. Calving went smoother.

Graham the bull is considered a leopard bull, his colouring is not quite white with black points, but he is not dappled. All the commercial heifers he bred

Proud to be part of the agricultural community!

had speckled calves, although it is a 50/50 chance on solids as well.

In the spring of 2021, Clarkes’ black angus bull had hurt himself, so another bull was needed.

The search was on once again. A speckled bull sale came up and before Clarke knew it, she had purchased INC Mountain View, a two-year-old speckled park. He was bought from INC Cattle Company in Saskatoon.

Again, the speckled bull did not let them down.

His calves are amazing.

“It is fun in the spring to try and guess colour and gender with these breeds,” Clarke said.

They will continue with the cross as they feel the breeds really

INC Mountain View is a two-year-old speckled park bull owned by Darrion and Regan Clarke. Photo by Regan Clarke complement each other.

With their own young heifers, they will add to their herd and see how the future goes. It is their hope that the breed remains sustainable,

and the market becomes stronger.

The Clarkes now have a little girl. Although she is still just a toddler, she is the next generation farmer.

Sports Annual Big Moose baseball tournament held at Kenosee Lake during the long weekend

By Gord Paulley

The annual Big Moose senior ball tournament took place on the Canada Day weekend. The games were played at Kenosee Lake and there were six teams participating, including the host Carlyle Cardinals, Estevan Tap House Wolves, Marysberg Royals, Redvers As, Saskatoon Outlaws and Weyburn Iron Pigs.

Play began Friday night with Carlyle racking up an early 7-0 lead against Redvers and cruising to an 8-4 victory. Saturday morning, the Cardinals and Outlaws were involved in a slugfest with Saskatoon winning 12-11 in a game with numerous lead changes.

In the semifinals on Sunday, the Outlaws defeated Estevan. The Cardinals played the Iron Pigs and trailed 6-1 after five innings. They scored three in the sixth and

five in the seventh to win 8-6 to the delight of the many local fans in attendance.

Carlyle again played Saskatoon but this time it was for the championship. The Cardinals trailed 3-0 early and came back to make it 3-2 after four innings.

The Outlaws added two more runs in the fifth and hung on for a 6-3 victory.

Forty-five-year-old Jason Lindberg of Saskatoon was the winning pitcher. On Sunday he pitched six innings in the semifinal game and seven innings in the final game. He also survived an up the middle blast from Cardinal Josh Hohn midway through the final, which struck him squarely in the shin.

On Saturday night, there was a home run derby with 13 players and one umpire (Kevin Culy of Estevan) competing. Jolan Lingelbach

Veteran player-coach Brent McLean for Carlyle was pleased with how the tournament went.

“We had great weath-

er and great attendance.

Due to the pandemic, this was our first time hosting the Big Moose since 2019. The Cardinals also wish to thank Allan and Peggy Fleck for having their food

truck at the games all weekend long.”

As of press time Thursday morning, Carlyle has four games remaining in their Saskota Baseball League regular season. The Jack Har-

bourne tournament will be held in Estevan July 23 and 24. The Cardinals will be hosting a home playoff game in Carlyle to start the championship weekend on July 22.

Steve Polsom is the unsung hero of the Carlyle Golf Course

By Gord Paulley

Steve Polsom is the grounds superintendent of the Carlyle Golf Club.

While his talents and work ethic are well known and greatly appreciated by everyone, not much else is known about him.

Polsom, 69, grew up in the town of Zehner, and he graduated from Scott Collegiate in Regina. In 1979, he started selling for Brandt Industries, specializing in industrial golf equipment. In 1982, he attended the University of Guelph in Ontario and graduated with honours in golf course turf management.

The following year, he started working for the Flowing Springs Golf Course just outside of Regina, helping them rebuild their course.

In the spring of 1986, he became the course construction superintendent of the White Bear Lake Golf Course.

Together with Bernie Shepherd, he built the

original front nine, seeding the new greens and fairways.

The next year, he was employed by Golf Kenosee. He reseeded and reshaped the Avonlea Golf Course, and then returned to Brandt Industries. In 1992 and 1993, together with Larry Palmer, Polsom built and shaped the back nine at White Bear. He then started working in the oilpatch.

In 1999, he and Larry Palmer were hired to seed the new grass greens at the Carlyle Golf Club. He returned to Brandt Industries and then in 2000 received a call from Tim Lequyer, then the Carlyle Golf Club president. They needed someone look after their new greens and Polsom was formally rehired.

Twenty-two years later, he is still employed at the Carlyle course and simply has no desire to retire.

“It is such a great working environment at

the Carlyle Golf Club,” said Polsom. “The crew that I presently have – Rick Burnett, Roy Lequyer, Grant McDonald, Kiara and Alexis Scammell, Lainie Levesque and Jackie Rutledge – they are simply the best. I also wish to thank Larry Palmer for his knowledge, expertise, and mentoring over the years.

“Gord Jarvis has been a good friend who has planted many of the trees we now have on the course. I also can’t forget Al Smith, Gord Thomson and Kaysha Turner for their prior years of service.”

While only a ninehole course, the Carlyle Golf Club is famously known for its friendly family layout and immaculate greens that are rated second to none.

“In all my years of supervising a golf course, I have never seen such a late spring with poor weather to start the year.

However, the tide has turned and the course is

Polsom is married to Tracy, who is a teacher at the White Bear Education Complex. They own a residence at Moose Mountain Provincial Park. He no longer works in the offseason and will be travelling in the winters, visiting friends and relatives

in the United States.

His regular golfing foursome consists of Burnett, John Pott and his good friend Roy Lequyer, “even though he beats me all the time.”

He enjoys sailing, archery, bow hunting, target shooting and fishing. He also likes kayaking, camping and crosscountry skiing. He owns

a Harley Davidson “Fat Boy” motorcycle.

“I can’t forget to thank the loyal membership of the Carlyle Golf Club.

In all my years working here, I have never had a cross word said to me about myself or the course. Carlyle is indeed a great town and a great place to work,” said Polsom.

Golfing is like clockwork for Redvers foursome

By Paul Kimball Can you set a watch by a golfer? At the Redvers Golf & Country Club, the answer is yes.

Seven days a week, come rain or shine during the season, at precisely 1 p.m., a foursome steps up to the first tee, consisting of Willard Boese, Omer Carriere, Elmer Doell and Will Johnson.

Their ages add up to 320. They are all retired.

Their careers were varied – Carriere was a battery operator, Johnson was a teacher and principal, Boese managed the local Co-op building materials and Doell worked in banking and real estate.

Doell’s career took him away from Redvers for many years, but he couldn’t resist returning to Redvers upon leaving the workforce.

Their golfing experience is just as varied.

Some started golfing early in life; others took

a while to get going.

Carriere is an excellent golfer; Boese not quite as good and Doell and Johnson are somewhere in between. Carriere, at 88, is still the guy to beat.

Their golfing prowess has produced a few holes-in-one. Doell has one and Johnson has two. Carriere has come within inches and Boese once landed an inch or two from the hole, only to have his ball hit the pin and bounce away rather than down.

Carriere, who oversaw the design of the greens back in 2000 and kept the project within budget, played a round of golf with Johnson shortly afterwards.

They played the course twice, 18 holes, and they each shot identical scores of 36 on the front nine and 36 on the back nine for both rounds.

That’s par golf.

Carriere boasts of the greatest accomplishment. This past June, he headed up to Prince

Albert for the Saskatchewan Senior Fitness Association’s 55-plus Games to golf. He won the 85-plus age category and is now going to try to duplicate that in August when he goes to Kamloops, B.C., to compete against Canada’s best.

The men all knew each other, but a deeper friendship blossomed at the golf club. As they spent more and more time together, they entertained the possibility of golfing together. That became reality about four years ago.

Why do they play so much? There are many reasons. The love the game and the camaraderie. The exercise is good for them and what beats the smell of fresh grass? They play 18 holes daily, except for Will, whose wife has too much for him to do at home. And they meet so regularly that they can list the times and the reasons why one of them didn’t show up.

For Raivyn Millions, softball has its rewards

By Paul Kimball Raivyn Millions was living with her mom and younger brother in Hirsch.

She loved sports, especially figure skating and soccer. Softball was not on her radar.

But then her mom Jolene met Chris from Oxbow.

Their family moved to be with Chris and at the age of 11, Raivyn discovered the world of softball. She still enjoyed figure skating and eventually volleyball but her greatest passion increasingly became softball. Chris tirelessly helped her develop in that passion.

Her skills garnered attention. She successfully tried out for a team called the 222’s.

As an outfielder, she travelled throughout Western Canada and the United States, playing in Las Vegas, Florida, Georgia and California. At a tournament in California, her team enjoyed its greatest success, finishing second.

Recently, she competed for Team Saskatchewan at the Can-

ada Cup in Surrey, B.C. Teams from all over the world took part, including Olympic teams. Although Millions didn’t play at the top level, she did have the opportunity to rub shoulders with the best softball players in the world and faced international competition, playing teams from the States and Australia.

For the last couple of months, to prepare and train for that tournament, she lived in Saskatoon. Being in Grade 12, finishing well in her schooling was important. She took a few courses online and attended a Saskatoon school.

That didn’t prevent her from excelling scholastically. She proved that she was more than just an excellent ballplayer by finishing her high schooling with an average mark above 99 per cent. She was one of five Oxbow students that were considered for class valedictorian.

She has made some great friends playing ball, including Koda Morris and Ainsley Hinz from Saskatoon and Tobi Topp from

Lloydminster. Millions suspects that these friendships will last a lifetime.

But softball has been good for another reason. The coach from Spoon River College in Canton, Ill., offered her a two-year scholarship. She accepted and will begin studies there in the fall, focusing on general health science.

She’s hoping that her academic and ballplaying skills will gain the attention of other schools that will lead to further scholarships.

Millions graduated on June 29. Approximately $100,000 worth of scholarships were handed out and she was awarded about one-third of that. It is possible to excel in sports and academics at the same time.

Graduation was a bittersweet experience for Millions. Thrilled to be finished high school and enter the next phase of life, memories of her good friend Carter Dietz were brought to the surface again.

Dietz passed away late last fall very suddenly and unexpectedly as a result of mental health

Raivyn at her graduation with her number one cheerleader, mom Jolene Steenbruggen.

Photo submitted by Paul Kimball issues. In spite of everything that Millions gained on the night of her graduation, she felt what she had lost very deeply.

She will continue playing for the Saskatoon Selects this summer, competing in the provincials and hopefully nationals. Then

it will be off to Spoon River College to play for the Snappers.

Millions is a bright young lady who has a very bright future.

By Stephanie Zoer Graduation is a milestone in a young person’s life. The graduating class of 2022 from Maryfield School celebrated this on June 25.

The ceremony took place in the school gymnasium.

The young women dressed in their elegant gowns and the young men all dressed up in their suits. They made their way around the gym with their escorts, until they took their place on the stage. Family and friends gathered to witness this huge step in the students’ lives.

Guest speaker Barb Boon, a former teacher from Maryfield School, shared stories and of-

fered some wisdom for the grads to take with them on their journey into adulthood.

The valedictorians, Bo Moore and Pernil Gonzales, shared the honour and spoke to those in attendance.

Each student has a different outlook on life.

Some know their path and others need a little time. It is not always easy to figure this out.

Here are the plans for the graduating class of 2022.

Moore is unsure of his plans and will take some time and work while he decides what he would like to study. Gonzales will be attending the University of British Columbia to study

computer engineering.

Hayden Olsen wishes to become an electrician.

He will apprentice under Jeannot Electric in Moosomin.

Brynn Downer is on a waiting list to attend college to become a dental assistant. While she waits, she will work.

Samantha Penner is also undecided at this time on what to study and plans to work until she has decided.

Parker Sweeting plans to work while he decides what he might study in the future. Kaitlyn Veysey will be attending SAIT to study film production.

After the ceremony, a social was held for everyone to enjoy.

By Stephanie Zoer There is a new business in Redvers, and it might be high on a list to visit.

Kim Setrum is a realtor and when she listed a building on Highway 13 in Redvers, she spoke to her partner Ryan Kitchen about the dwelling’s possibilities. At the time, Kitchen was working in the energy sector and they felt it was time for him to stay closer to home, as his job required him to be away from home frequently.

Setrum and Kitchen discussed their options and agreed it was a well-structured building. It was on a fantastic location on the highway

and the perfect place to have a cannabis retail store. A store like this would save people from having to travel to other locations for their purchases.

Both, Setrum and Kitchen are from the Moosomin area. They left for a brief time to go to school but returned when their schooling was completed.

The decision was made to purchase the building in September 2021, but renovations did not begin until January, when Kitchen returned home from his pipeline job.

With Setrum having a business diploma, she began the paperwork.

This was extremely help-

ful to the pair as there is a great deal of paperwork involved. An application is made to the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority for a permit to operate and is the first step.

In order to sell cannabis, one must acquire a permit. It is also mandatory for owners and all employees to pass the Cannasell SK course with 80 per cent or more. Employees must also be 19 years or older to work in a retail store like this.

With all the permits in place, the walls painted, and shelves stocked, they held their grand opening on June 30.

Mayor Brad Bulbuck was present for the ribbon cutting along with the two owners, Setrum and Kitchen.

The store is filled with cannabis products and accessory needs. They also carry vape cartridges and batteries. It is their plan to be open seven days a week. Mondays to Saturdays it will be open from 11 a.m.-8 p.m., and Sundays will be noon-5 p.m.
