Arcola Antique Ag Daze celebrates the history of the prairies Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Arcola Antique Ag Daze hosted on Sunday, July 2, was a successful story of community coming together to celebrate Canada’s 150th and take a look back on the legacy of not only Arcola, but of the prairie provinces as a whole.

The day began with a pancake breakfast before kicking off the festivities with a parade down Main Street at 10:30 a.m., which led down to the Fair Grounds where the rest of the action for the day took place.

A display of various works of art and displays were set up in the old exhibit hall, while Paton Antiques as well as quilts were on display at the Ag Pavilion/Meeting Place. Included in the displays were a variety of antique licence plates, tools, and at Paton Antiques display even an old wooden homemade live mouse trap. The mouse would walk into the box and the teeter totter would swing down trapping the mouse within; much like the metal live traps today.

Numerous entries were part of the annual car show; many

of which also participated in the parade.

Kids events and a petting zoo were set up in and near the Ag Pavilion, where a blacksmith and rope maker were also set up to discuss how items were once made by hand.

One of the new events that the Antique Ag Daze committee introduced was the Kids’ Tractor Pull, which was a fun way for kids to participate.

A small John Deere pedal tractor was set out with a small sled and weights on it and the young participants pedaled hard to win $5 each.

Before the youngsters took to the track they got to watch the large antique tractors do their jobs, including an old model with steel paddled wheels.

In an ode to past agricultural ways, a horse pull was also held.

Similar to the tractor pull, a team of horses was hooked up to a sled with weights added to it. Light, medium, and heavy horses were all used to showcase the raw power of a team of horses, which was once the main form of work units on a farm.

A threshing and bailing demonstration was also held in order to show people how these

activities were once done.

At 4 p.m. the Arcola Antique Ag Daze welcomed Estevan group Calamity Cowgirls to the arena for a stunning trick riding performance, which was greatly enjoyed by the attending crowd.

Throughout the day a slo-pitch tournament was held with seven teams participating.

A BBQ Supper and Canada Day cupcakes and ice cream were available in the evening, while the day ended with fireworks.

Before the fireworks went off, however, Arcola enjoyed a wonderful performance by Tenille Arts of Weyburn. The 23-year-old country music artist released an album last year, which debuted at no. 1 on iTunes Canada country album chart in October of 2016, while it also broke into the top 100 on the U. S. country album charts.

Performing in Arcola she covered a variety of classic country tunes, but also showcased her abilities by singing her own music from her successful debut album.

The crowd enjoyed her performance and everyone in attendance at Prairie Place appreciated the chance to have her perform in Arcola.

Featured performer, Tenille Arts from Weyburn now of Nashville, was greatly enjoyed by those in attendance at Prairie Place on July 2 at Arcola’s Antique Ag Daze.

Arcola Antique Ag Daze was a truly family event, which was enjoyed by many local and visiting people to Arcola on Sunday, July 2.

In true Antique Ag Daze fashion numerous tractors were brought to the community and ran in the parade. Although not pictured, this year an antique combine was also featured in the parade festivities.

The Horse Pull is an amazing way to witness the strength of these majestic animals that have worked alongside people in the agricultural industry nearly since the beginning of farming.

Volunteer vet student: Kaitlyn Brown in Africa Kelly Running Observer Staff

For Kaitlyn Brown of Carlyle – who just finished her second year of veterinary school at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) – knowing animals is an innate part of who she is and this lifelong calling has drawn her into pursuing a career as a veterinarian.

Although being passionate about her prospective career was a draw to pursuing becoming a veterinarian, she is also driven by a want to help animals and people.

“I grew up on a farm and was always surrounded by animals,” Brown remembers fondly. “We had cattle, cats, and dogs, and I always felt close to them; like I understood them.

So, because I could understand them, I wanted to be able to help treat them.”

She smiles as she states that this was a decision she made at 14-years-old and although it has been a lot of work, and a long road to get to where she is, in two more years she will have accomplished the goal she set as a teenager.

This summer she’s spending working at Head for the Hills and loves the on-the-job education as she is able to shadow the vets there, ask questions, shadow the veterinary techs, and help in various capacities at the clinic based on the schooling she has had thus far.

Brown’s calling, however, recently had her embark on a unique adventure; the opportunity to travel to Africa to provide veterinary care and experience a different culture was afforded her as a second year veterinary student.

“The school has a club, Global Vets, it’s a student run program, so it wasn’t through any organization, but second year students have the opportunity to plan a trip to a developing country and work as veterinarians there,” Brown explained. “To plan the trip you just need vets on the other side to say they would like you to come and then you fundraise. You then go over for four to six weeks depending on the trip planned.”

Although opportunity was there, the calling to do it was some-

thing more: “I’m getting a very special education that not everyone has the privilege of doing. I like being able to share my knowledge and skills to help people. It’s not just a career, it’s a passion, and helping animals, helps people as well in a really special way.”

Brown was in Africa for six weeks beginning at the start of May and returning midway through June. Within that time visited three different countries: Zanzibar, South Africa, and Madagascar. Traveling with her were three other girls from the U of S they were also joined in Madagascar by researchers from the United States, vet students from the United States, and a veterinarian from Australia.

“It was very different depending on where I was,” Brown states. “In Zanzibar we worked as vets full-time and helped clients, but what they specifically wanted help with there was helping with their feral cat population.

So, while we were there we spayed and neutered cats, vaccinated them for rabies… and dewormed them.”

“In that time we probably spayed and neutered about 50 cats.”

They were then off to South Africa where they had the opportunity to work with farmed wildlife such as antelope and buffalo: “We would have to dart them down because they are wild animals and we would then vaccinate and deworm them and provide any other treatments they needed during that time as well.”

While, in South Africa, Brown was able to fit in a little touring in her busy schedule and they were able to visit Kruger National Park: “We went on a safari, so we got to visit Kruger National Park, not as a vet, but to be able to see all of the animals there, which was amazing.”

Her next stop took her to Madagascar: “We worked with Mad Dog Initiative there, which is run by two Malagasy vets. They’ve set up free clinics in remote areas of the island and find volunteers to help run them.”

“We were set up in a small, remote village – Andasibe – where we usually spayed, neutered, and vaccinated animals for rabies; then

we would also help with any other medical procedures needed.”

Although the entire trip was an amazing experience, Brown says that something she will hold with her is how much the people in Madagascar loved their animals. Although the people there were in remote areas and it could be difficult for an owner to get their animal to the free clinic, they would make sure they did and the clinic was flooded with people there wanting to ensure their animals were helped.

“My favourite part about Madagascar were the people in the village and the people we worked with, they all had an amazing spirit,” Brown explained. “My favourite part of being in Zanzibar was the experience of surgeries I was able to have.

And my favourite part of South Africa was all of the exotic animals we got to see, it’s honestly an animal lovers dream.”

Brown’s future is bright as she pursues her final two years of veterinary school with the intention of being able to work privately and make a living as a vet, but she hopes to continue sharing her knowledge and skills in a volunteer capacity as well to ensure she is able to help as many people and animals that she can.

Here she is performing surgery on a cat in Zanzibar where she and other vet students were welcomed to assist particularly in controlling the feral cat population – “It was just outside, in the open, as sterile as possible,” Brown explained.

Re-design at the Observer

We’ve been putting in a lot of work recently to revamp The Observer. Over the last month we’ve asked ourselves what can we do to shake things up a little, but remain the same local paper people enjoy reading?

We have a new publisher, Rick Major, who was as excited as we were to bring you something Kelly Running fresh and had some great suggesObserver Staff tions, while everyone in the office discussed ideas to pursue.

When we started thinking about a redesign our priority became clear: we want to keep our focus on local news. Where else are you going to find out there’s two young ladies in the southeast who have taken up trick riding? Where else are you going to find photos of your kids’ or grandkids’ Christmas concert? If we know about an event, we do everything we can to be there, and if we can’t, then we’d love you to send in photos of the event. A little write-up or a few bulleted points and a phone number for Lynne or I to get back to you and we can share that story with everyone.

To me, newspapers are an important medium, it’s the voice of the communities it serves.

So, as you leaf through the paper, you’ll notice we’ve decided to change up our look in general. One of our big changes is our Comments page. We had been running two general columnists, but we decided we wanted to offer the readership something different. We appreciate the work they went to for us and enjoyed running them as we were able to, but in their place we decided to provide informational services.

We will be running a rotating health column – health information one week, animal health the next.

Also on the page we have lined up financial columns.

Personally, I grew up being told by my parents to start an RRSP, get a credit card: only buy gas on it and then pay it off immediately, etc…; but, why? How do you build credit? Is there such a thing as good debt? When is the right time to start saving for an RRSP? Not everyone is educated in the finance sector and having a financial advice column seemed like a service we could find and be the medium to relay that information through.

Additionally, you’ll find an “Events Listing” on page 2. This will be a quick reference for events in the area, but we are only running minimal information here – day of event, name of event, where it’s being held. So, let us know what’s coming up! If you’d like to include more information, however, you’ll be referred to our sales team to place an “Upcoming Event” or a display ad. Our page 2 is just a quick reference list, but if people are checking that, there’s a good chance they’ll be looking for more info in the paper, so it might be a good idea to consider placing an ad with us too which would include times, the different activities available at the event, etc...

Finally, we are hoping to bring a games page to the paper. I enjoy a Sudoku or crossword puzzle, and I know I’m not the only one. Whether you have a coffee break at work, are enjoying a morning coffee on your deck, or want to do them as a family in the car or in the evening together – my Granny loved crosswords, we’d do them together, and even when she was at her worst with dementia, she was quick with the answers. To bring this to you though, we do need a sponsor for it, so if anyone out there has a business and would like a prime advertising spot, I guarantee that page will have a lot of views, because who doesn’t like games?

I hope you enjoy what we’ve been hard at work with! The same great local stories with a fresh new look.

Gardening could lead to a golden summer “It’s the most wonderful time of the year”…for those who love their flower gardens. Our deck and patio are filled with planters, urns and hanging baskets displaying hundreds of beautiful blossoms. I love being out there and taking in the colour and aroma because I get to sit and enjoy it while my husband does My Outlook all the work. I know, it doesn’t Shelley Luedtke seem very fair but quite honestly he would rather I sit and read a book while he takes care of all the vegetation than have to deal with the damage I would likely inflict.

I’ve got to be honest--that works out really well for me. I don’t enjoy planting, watering and weeding, but he sure does.

“There is a golden summer waiting for me”…are some of the lyrics to a song in the beloved musical “Anne of Green Gables.” I was part of a theatre company that presented this show as a special Canada 150 event and it was one of my favourites. The idea of lazy summer days can be pretty appealing. My husband is looking forward to some extra hours to tend his garden. Me? Summer means anticipating extra time to do the reading that I have had to put off for a while.

I have always loved books. Always. Even when I was doing some other activity I typically had a book with me. My mom tells the story of how I used to practice head stands, drape my feet into the kitchen sink, and read a book while maintaining this upside down position. Why? I have no idea, but it likely explains the amount of bleach my mother used on our sinks.

When my family went camping each summer I knew what the day one itinerary would look like.

Once our campsite was established we would head into the nearby town and our first stop would be the local store to purchase inflatable beach balls and floating mattresses and then it was on to the second hand book shop where we would emerge with a selection that appealed to our reading interests. With

these items in tow I was ready for afternoons at the beach or sitting in a lawn chair reading until the sun went down.

I took a look at a few of the readings lists put together by different booksellers and media outlets for summer 2017. Several sparked my curiosity and I made a note of them, but then became discouraged when I realized I wouldn’t have enough time to do all the reading I hoped.

One of the necessary tasks a librarian undertakes regularly is the culling of books from shelves to ensure that what remains is appealing to patrons. Anything with broken spines or torn pages would be removed, and then a look at publishing dates could determine what stays and what goes. It’s also important that library shelves are not too full. Studies have shown that we are more likely to pay closer attention to shelves that have less books on them, and will often walk right past ones that are too full. We want choice. We like options. But in the end we tend to get overwhelmed when we have to consider too much to make a decision.

One retail giant points to the idea of “the selection ceiling” as one of the reasons for their success.

Despite stocking everything from cakes to caskets to kitchen sinks, individual product choices do not run too deep. It may offer only four brands of toothpaste, while by contrast a large, competing department store carries dozens of different sizes and brands.

For the first retailer the logic is simple--when given too much choice customers tend to purchase less.

The idea of a long, hot, lazy golden summer is perhaps a wistful notion of nostalgia, but maybe…just maybe…we can capture a piece of the sentiment.

But it requires some effort. Summer is short. So is life. So why are we so consumed with surrounding ourselves with so much stuff, or thinking our worth comes with believing we are busier than anyone else? Let’s take a moment--a day--a week--and reclaim some simpler ideas this summer. Weed out a few of the things causing our time to become too cluttered, and plant the right seeds to make the upcoming weeks the most wonderful time of the year.

That’s my outlook.

How to Boost Your Credit Rating:

Five ways to keep your credit score high and your loan costs low No black marks on your credit report can help keep you in the black.

A good credit rating is taken into consideration whenever you borrow money, whether it›s for buying a car, taking out a mortgage or applying for a credit card. Bad credit can bring you higher interest rates, the need for a co-signer, or a larger down payment on a home - if you even get approved for a mortgage. So monitoring your credit rating is an important financial responsibility.

A credit score is a collection

of lender experiences used when issuing credit to a consumer. Your credit score accompanies your credit report.

Scores range from 300 to 850 points - the higher the score, the better the applicant’s credit quality. Many lenders use credit scores to help them make lending decisions.

Black marks on your credit report can undermine your credit score. What’s more, credit bureaus can list negative information for anywhere from two to 10 years, and bankruptcies for up to seven years, depending on the credit

agency and the province. Here are some steps you can take to improve your credit score.

Fix errors: Mistakes happen, and these inaccuracies can lead to the denial of credit.

If you find a mistake on your report, notify the credit bureau. The lender in question will be contacted and if the information cannot be verified, it will be removed from your file. Send any paperwork that you may have to the credit bureaus to help your case.

Pay down your debt: Lenders consider how close you are to the limits on your

Fun in the Sun Know your ABCDs. You may have lots of little spots on your skin, possibly because you got too much sun some years ago. Most of them are harmless, but watch out for these warning signs: Asymmetry – a mole that’s not round; Border – The border is irregular with jagged edges, not smooth; Colour – the colour can be uneven or unusual colours; Diameter – it’s larger than the width of a pea or a pencil eraser. Show your doctor any skin blemish that has any of these characteristics.

It’s important to know your skin and the signs of skin cancer. If you notice any unusual moles or marks on your skin, watch them closely. The most common skin cancers (basal and squamous cell) can look like a small, skin-coloured or red knob. The more dangerous melanoma usually begins as a mole that seems to change colour or size.

Protect them while they’re young Skin cancer is usually caused by the skin’s exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. The more sun you’re exposed to over your lifetime, the higher your risk of developing cancer.

It’s estimated that up to 80 percent of a person’s total exposure to the sun happens before 18 years of age.

Because of this, it’s good to teach children healthy sun habits from the start. One serious sunburn in childhood can increase future cancer risk by as much as 50 percent.

Babies under six months

old are especially susceptible to the glare of sunshine and should be kept out of the sun completely. They’re too young for sunscreen, so keep the baby in the shade and covered as much as possible.

Don’t forget that the sun can reflect off shiny surfaces and swimming pools, so keep babies well shaded from all directions at all times.

No such thing as a healthy tan There is a common myth that if a person tans well, they’re protected from these harmful rays. Not true! While it is true that fair-haired, blue-eyed people are most prone to burning, and therefore are more susceptible to the sun’s rays, even “healthy” tans are really just damage control – they’re your body’s way of trying to protect itself from the sun. But, the damage is already done and can’t be reversed. Years of sun worshipping, be it outside or in a tanning salon, will eventually show up later on in life as wrinkles, poor skin elasticity, and possibly skin cancer.

The sun, however, is also very important to our health.

It provides us with vitamin D (which we need for our bones), and it can lift our spirits. In fact, there’s a form of depression called seasonal affective disorder (or SAD) that can happen when there’s more darkness than daylight – those experiencing SAD feel “down” during the winter months and much better when summer comes. So, staying holed up deep inside isn’t the way to go either.

Moderation and good sense is key. The goal is to have fun outside, but to stay safe at the same time: • Cover up when possible • Wear a hat • Apply sunscreen at least 20 minutes before you go out, even if the sun doesn’t seem particularly strong or is cloudy out.

• Avoid the sun when it’s at its strongest: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

• If you are applying other products to the skin, double check with your pharmacist about which product to use first. For example, insect repellents should be applied at least 15 minutes after applying sunscreen.

• If you use prescription medications, such as certain skin creams or blood pressure medications, check to see if they can make you more sensitive to the sun. If you’re not sure, ask your pharmacist.

Treating a sunburn • Apply cool, wet compresses for 24 to 48 hours.

• Don’t apply skin creams within the first two days.

• Drink a lot of water to keep from feeling dehydrated.

• You can use over-thecounter painkillers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen if there is some minor pain or discomfort due to the burn.

Very severe burns, the kind that produce blisters, are often treated in clinics with dressings. If you’re not sure if your burn is severe, have it checked. Do not break burn blisters yourself, as this can lead to a skin infection if not properly treated.

various cards, how much you owe in proportion to the credit you have available, and the number of credit accounts for which you have outstanding balances.

Stay current: If you don’t pay your bills on time (mortgage payments included), not only will you be charged a late fee, but you may be reported to a credit bureau. Companies have different approaches to deciding when to declare a payment “delinquent” - grace periods vary, if they’re even offered - so why take the risk?

Don’t look for more

credit: Opening several credit accounts, or even asking for them, in a short period of time raises alarms at credit bureaus and financial institutions, especially when it’s done by people who don’t have a longestablished credit history.

Know the score: You don’t have to wait until you have been denied credit to get a copy of your credit report and score. Order one at any time from one of the two big credit-reporting bureaus: Equifax, www.equifax.ca TransUnion, www.transunion.ca.

Future Carlyle Cardinal, Alexander Lemieux son of Cardinals coach, David Lemieux - takes a break at Kenosee Lake’s ball park during the team’s annual “The Big Moose” Tournament.

Sports

The Big Moose

The Carlyle Cardinals welcomed teams from across the province during their annual “The Big Moose” baseball tourney, July 1st and 2nd. Here, the Cardinals kick off the weekend’s competition against the Cabri River Rats at Kenosee Lake.

A much-anticipated weekend of baseball returned to usher in a summer of competition as the Carlyle Cardinals hosted “The Big Moose” - the team’s annual July long weekend tournament. The Cardinals welcomed teams from Arm River, Beulah, Cabri, Estevan, Gull Lake, Regina, Saskatoon and Swift Current.

In the end the Saskatoon Stallions defeated Estevan by one run in the final, ending the weekend 6-5.

Homer-Happy rookies on fire for Dodgers, Yanks

By Bruce Penton Hollywood made Roy Hobbs the most magical baseball hitter of all time in The Natural, and now Dodgertown, a few blocks away from Hollywood in real life, is living the scriptwriter’s dream in the heroics of Cody Bellinger.

The slugging Dodger rookie, who is making a mockery of National League pitching, made such a splash in his first 60 or so games that those in baseball’s inner circles are referring to him not only as an obvious Rookie of the Year winner, but a possible Most Valuable Player. And he didn’t even join the Dodgers from Triple A until late April.

In almost mythical fashion, Bellinger’s first 62 games produced 24 home runs, second most in the majors. Extrapolated over a 162-game

schedule, that would amount to 63 homers.

Not bad for a 21-yearold first-year player! Six of those 62 games were multi-homer outings for Bellinger, a native of Scottsdale, Ariz., who belted 26 homers last year for two minor league teams, including three in as many late-season callup games for AAA Oklahoma City Dodgers.

Bellinger’s fame and recognition has rocketed up the charts faster than the launch speed of his homers. And to think that for the first two months of the season, most people thought no one would have a greater rookie season than the Yankees’ Aaron Judge.

In Bellinger and Judge, Major League Baseball has offered up a starstudded duo that reminds fans of the Bryce HarperMike Trout rookie seasons of 2012. Those two

players are still regarded as among the best — if not 1-2, or 2-1 — in the game, but they’re both so 2014.

This is 2017, and it’s the year of Bellinger and Judge.

The two rookies lead their respective leagues in round-trippers — Judge, a mountain of a man standing 6-foot-7 and weighing 282 — has 27 for the American League’s Yankees in 76 games.

The arrival of Bellinger to the Dodgers’ lineup has helped turn L.A. into a juggernaut. They won 16 of 17 in mid- to late June and took over the lead in the N.L. West. Unfortunately, this year’s World Series is unlikely to produce a Bellinger-Judge showdown, because the Yankees, while a contender in the A.L. East, still fall short of Houston Astros, who are putting

together a remarkable season and are likely to represent the A.L. in the Fall Classic.

While Bellinger has done just about everything a rookie could imagine, he has yet to smash lights out of a stadium light standard, a la Hobbs. But wait, there are still three months — and many home runs — remaining.

Weekly RCMP report

Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Carlyle RCMP responded to several calls between Thursday, June 22 and Wednesday, June 28.

According to Staff Sgt. Darren Simons of the Carlyle detachment, RCMP members are dealing with increasing numbers of operators of all-terrain vehicles, sideby-sides, motorcycles -and even golf carts - who are not obeying provincial statutes and often, not wearing helmets and/or protective eyewear.

“This week, members dealt with a 13-year-old driving a golf cart in Carlyle. There were three people in the cart and golf carts are designed for two people,” says Staff Sgt. Simons. “The driver of this golf cart could have been charged with operating a motor vehicle without a driver’s licence and operating an uninsured vehicle, but members chose to educate this young person instead.”

“Local bylaws do not supersede provincial statutes,” he adds. “But the overriding concern here is preventing a lifealtering or life-ending tragedy.”

“I’d also like to remind the operators of these vehicles how important it is to protect their head(s) and their vision,” says Simons. “We’re seeing a

lot of people who aren’t wearing proper eye protection and helmets and it’s such a simple - but important - thing for them to do in order to prevent an injury or worse.”

911/Alarms A caller misused 911, by using the emergency number simply to talk to police. Carlyle RCMP reminds the public that 911 is intended only for emergency calls.

Two false alarms originated from Carlyle and Manor.

Alcohol-related Offences Carlyle RCMP charged an impaired driver on a highway in the Carlyle area. “It was 2 p.m. on a weekday,” says Staff Sgt. Simons. “There has tragically - recently been a fatal accident near Estevan involving an impaired driver. We want motorists to be aware that impaired driving is never acceptable and that we are actively enforcing the law 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

RCMP are currently investigating the report of an impaired driver near Arcola. This individual was driving a company truck.

Members are currently conducting an impaired driving investigation in the Carlyle area.

Assault A file regarding an assault which occurred in the Carlyle area was concluded, because all parties refused to cooperate with police.

An alleged assault in Redvers was deemed to be an argument, as no assault occurred.

Assistance Carlyle RCMP assisted the Arcola Fire Department at a fire.

RCMP served a subpoena at the request of

the provincial Ministry of Justice.

Members assisted the Department of Transport.

Police assisted Moose Jaw Police regarding a missing person who was believed to be in the detachment area.

Break and Enter The Minor Ball Canteen at Carlyle’s Lions Park was broken into for a second time.

An occupied trailer at Lions Park in Carlyle was broken into. An individual was arrested and charged.

A residence south of Carlyle was broken into.

An individual reported a television dumped behind a Carlyle-area establishment. This television is believed to have been stolen during a break and enter earlier in the week.

“Contrary to what many people believe, most break-ins don’t take place in the middle of the night,” says Staff Sgt. Simons. “Most break-ins actually occur during the day, when people are at work. It’s an opportunistic offence and if people lock their homes and secure their property, the odds of them being the target of a break-in will be greatly reduced.”

Criminal Harassment A case of possible criminal harassment which allegedly occurred at a business in Carlyle is still under investigation by RCMP. Drug Investigations Carlyle RCMP are currently conducting two investigations within the detachment area regarding illegal drugs.

Fraud RCMP are currently investigating fraud regarding an online auction.

Members received a report of a fraud attempt

Mental Health Act RCMP dealt with files under the Mental Health Act this week.

Mischief/Property Damage An intoxicated male entered Gordon F. Kells High School in Carlyle.

School staff called the RCMP and this person was escorted out of the school by police.

Members are examining video surveillance footage regarding mischief in the Village of Manor.

RCMP are investigating an incidence of vehicle damage in Redvers. A windshield was smashed.

Theft A laptop and an iPad were stolen from an unlocked vehicle in the Carlyle area.

A theft of under $5,000 was reported to police for information purposes.

Several bikes were stolen in Carlyle.

Traffic Offences/ Collisions Two non-injury collisions occurred within the detachment area.

Police responded to a road rage incident, which occurred on Hwy 9. No charges were laid, but both parties were spoken to by RCMP.

Members issued three tickets for uninsured vehicles. One fine was $580 for no vehicle insurance and two fines were $100 each, for no trailer insurance.

Police issued several speeding tickets. The most expensive fine totalled $312 and was issued to a motorist who sped through the construction zone on Hwy 9 near White Bear Lake Resort. “This was a case

in which photo radar exists and is effective,” says Staff Sgt. Simons.

Members received several calls reporting erratic drivers this week.

Several of these incidents were due to high winds in the area.

During this period, RCMP dealt with driver’s licence and vehicle licence plate issues, a stop sign violation and several calls from motorists who ran out of gas.

After less than a month in business, a trio of Arcola electricians - Kris Burton, Ryan Carrier and Jason Korman - have already travelled to jobs just north of the U.S. border and as far east as Manitoba - mostly via the area’s numerous gravel roads.

“That’s how we came up with the name,” says co-owner, Ryan Carrier.

“We wanted something related to where we live and work and we’re on gravel roads, mostly, so Backcountry Electric was the name we went with.”

“There’s really no job too big or too small,” says Carrier, a Quebec native who fell in love with the area and made Arcola his home six years ago.

“We’ll do oilfield, commercial and residential.”

“We’ve got seven electricians, two mechanics, two parts guys and two office staff,” adds co-owner, Kris Burton. “We’ll travel anywhere. We’ve got four trucks and we’ll do anything from a light switch to an oilfield battery - and we’re on call 24 hours a day.”

“I wired my entire house on my own,” adds Burton, who grew up in Arcola. “So even though we’ve got four trucks that are equipped for oilfield and commercial work, we also understand the concerns of homeowners.”

“We don’t want to leave anybody out,” adds Carrier with a smile. “We’re three guys who are committed to this community and this

corner of Saskatchewan.

Kris grew up here, but Jason and I didn’t. We’re both from the same part of Quebec. We’ve chosen to live here and all three of us are raising our families here.”

Carrier first visited this part of Saskatchewan during a deer-hunting trip and says that his first visit to southeast Saskatchewan was the catalyst for his dream of living and someday, owning a business here.

“When I returned to Mansonville (Quebec) after that trip I started planning my move to Saskatchewan,” says Carrier.

“Even though I was working as an electrician in Quebec, I came out here about six years ago and took a job on the rigs, just to get here. That’s when I met Kris and eventually, both Jason and I ended up working with him.”

“But I moved out here with the intent of starting a company and making my home here,” continues Carrier. “The first time I came out here to hunt deer, I loved the people, the attitude and the land.”

Burton, an Arcola native and father of two says: “We’re committed to being a community-minded company and we’re just getting started. We’re putting a float in the (Arcola Antique Ag Daze) parade and we’re one of the sponsors of the Arcola Threshers ball team.”

“It’s a great community to be a part of.”

In Memoriam

In Memoriam

Tribute to a Brother Staff Sergeant Pete Garvey May 22, 1963 – June 24, 2017 They say, ‘It takes a village to raise a child’.

Our dear brother was raised in a tiny Saskatchewan village where he learned the importance of family, community, humility and service. He dedicated his life to serve and protect others.

We are so proud that this humble man discovered early in life what matters most is concern for, and service to others.

He lived his life knowing that sincerity and integrity are not bought or measured with money. Our brother understood that every person had an important story and deserved respect. Always the optimist, he recognized the good in people. He proudly served as a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The RCMP became his family as he built meaningful friendships with police members in and beyond the RCMP across Canada that would last until his death.

Our brother was a builder who forged relationships with communities so that he could help people to help themselves.

He developed deep bonds with Search and Rescue Saskatchewan Association of Volunteers. As a dedicated Search and Rescue member, he helped train volunteers and search for missing people. His generosity, strong work ethic and devotion to service required that he be selfless. From childhood, our brother easily bonded with his dogs. All of his dogs knew who the good people were and recognized that he was indeed was ‘one of the good ones’.

He deeply loved his daughters and grandchildren.

They are his most important legacy. Our brother will be affectionately remembered for his tireless work to make Saskatchewan a safer place for all people to live, work and play. We will hold a loving memory of him in our hearts. We will continue to pass on the values our brother lived by to his children and grandchildren so they are reminded, no matter where your life begins, every person can make a positive difference in the world.

Our family will be forever grateful to our brother’s family physician Dr. Emokpare for his the expert care and compassion.

Lovingly remembered by his sisters and their families
