SUMMER TIMES

Wednesday, July 17, 2019

Throughout the summer, Carlyle has it Estevan Mercury Regardless of the time of year, Carlyle is a bustling community with plenty to offer residents and visitors alike.

But during the summer months in particular, it’s an exciting place to be.

Natalie Miller, who is the town’s chief administrative of�icer, said they get a lot of people who come into the community who spend their summers at Kenosee Lake and White Bear First Nation.

“We have a lot of extra people in the community doing some shopping and spending some time with us, which we really appreciate,” said Miller.

Some special events will be taking place in the summer. The Carlyle Fun Day will happen on Aug. 17, with a kids’ zone, a car show and live entertainment throughout the day on the town’s Main Street.

“The Carlyle Fun Days is a really great community event.

There’s a committee that organizes it, but that committee just brings all the different groups together, and provides an organized event for them. It’s all the community members doing what they want to do to support the community.”

The rink hosts a fundraiser, and some of the food vendors are community groups. Most of the entertainment is free.

Miller believes the success of Carlyle Fun Days stems from the town, the rural municipality of Moose Mountain and the business community coming together.

The town’s �ire department will have a Raise the Roof Golf

Tournament on July 10 in an effort to generate money for a new �ire hall.

Later in the year, two marquee events will be happening. The �irst is the Homespun Craft Show and Sale, scheduled for Sept. 21 and 22, which has been billed as the Biggest Little Craft Show in Saskatchewan.

The craft show is in the arena and the quilt show happens in the town’s Memorial Hall.

The other event is the Dickens Village Festival, in which Carlyle will be transformed into a Victorian-era village from Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. The festival will happen Dec. 6 and 7.

The slogan of the town is Carlyle has It, and Miller believes they always live out that mantra.

“You have pretty much everything you need. I’m not sure what you’d have to leave town to get. We have a little bit of everything, and we’re able to support our community. It’s a thriving community, and there’s lots of activities for kids and families and lots of sports teams.

Every group is well established.”

The swimming pool, located in the Lions campground, is a big attraction to the community. It’s a junior Olympicsized pool with a zero entry, some spray structures and a small slide.

It’s open daily during the summer months, and is popular with lane swimmers and for swimming lessons.

The town also has a nine-hole golf course at the east edge of the town along Highway 13.

Recreation and cultural groups are also

doing well.

The business community is strong and diverse. A new furniture store, Fireside Furniture and Appliances, is the most recent addition to the business community.

Hardware, groceries, clothing, vehicles, automobile parts, agriculture implements and much more can be purchased in the town. There is also a healthy collection of restaurants, with fast food and dining options.

“I think we’re in a great location,” said Miller. “We’re central to a lot of places. The business community is really good at making you feel welcome, and drawing the crowd in. They’ve had different bus tours come in to arrange a shopping day.”

The town has done its part to attract businesses, as they offer tax abatements with a tiered structure in the �irst three years for companies coming into the community.

Miller has been the chief administrative of�icer for two years, and has been living in the community for 10 years. It has such a great sense of community, and there’s a big emphasis on families.

She grew up in a small town that was on the decline, especially after its school closed.

But she doesn’t see the same problems existing in Carlyle.

“I just feel like there’s so much to offer for young families and to get involved, if you want, it’s there. We’ve really made ourselves home here. We came not knowing anybody, so we paved our way and feel really welcome by the community and all that it has to offer.”

And they’re happy to say they live in Carlyle.

Trail Ride supports Saskairie

By Mary Moffat Forty-seven years have passed since the Prairie Lore and Living Society’s dream came to fruition in the form of Saskairie. They wanted to provide a place where city kids, and country ones too, could come and experience nature at its best.

Located on three quarters of land just west of Carlyle, in the foothills of the Moose Mountains, the site boasts a cabin capable of housing 28 people in what can only be described as rustic.

The accommodations provide two communal rooms featuring wooden bunks with diamond willow supports, rubber covered mattresses, and a large kitchen with several wood burning stoves, fridges and tables, all inside a log cabin built in the middle of winter

by Tom Scarrow, with help from the White Bear First Nations. Later a little house was added featuring a bathroom with running water, one double bed and four bunks.

The group also added a cook shack with a woodstove and power for the fridges used to house the food for all the trail rid-

ers.

This year the group added a large pavilion to provide shelter to those groups that may be interested in holding family reunions, weddings or group camping. The Jack MacKenzie Memorial Pavilion was completed just in time for this year’s trail ride and eight permanent picnic tables will be arriving shortly, all paid for from the funds raised at last years trail ride.

The board, headed by President Deb Morrow, works hard to maintain the property, keeping the grass cut, the buildings maintained and the power bills paid, but they have dreamed of renovating the bathroom and putting new �looring in the little house.

While there is water available at the property, it is not safe for drinking, but if you are looking for somewhere to have a family reunion, this might well be it! Of course, you will need generators for electricity, unless you really want to rough it, but the birds and wildlife won’t complain if your music is a little loud, or you get a little rowdy around the camp�ire.

With trails, for hiking or quads, that lead right into the Moose Mountain Provincial Park you will have no shortage of nature to explore. There is a donation box located on the old cook shack and prices are posted for ease of information. Saskairie is a year-round facility so snowmobilers are welcome to enjoy themselves there as well.

The 5th Annual Trail Ride took place July 5 and 6, with approximately 30 riders enjoying all Saskairie has to offer.

Riders were supplied with a pancake breakfast Saturday morning and a pork dinner with all the �ixing’s after the afternoon ride. Local business donated raf�le items and a wonderful time was had by all in attendance.

WEEK OF JUNE 30 TO JULY 6, 2019

Vacations go by too fast. It’ll take some organizing to accomplish everything you wanted to do.

Luckily, you’ll succeed in spen­ ding time with friends. A trip may be organized quicker than you expect.

TAURUS

You’ll be tempted to start plan­ ning next year’s vacation already.

You’ll also be thinking about impor­ tant personal and professional projects. Time is sparse in the face of your millions of ideas.

GEMINI

Your zest for life allows you to make the most of your vacation.

Even if you’re not taking time off, you’ll make time for pleasurable activities that allow you to relax and recharge your batteries.

CANCER

You’ll be disturbed by strong emo­ tions this week. In your love life, you’ll know right away if your partner isn’t being honest with you. Your well­being is linked to your emotional state.

LEO

The business world is always active, even when most people are on vacation. Your attention to detail allows you to spot golden opportunities, sign lucrative con­ tracts and build your network.

You’re beyond busy and will be overwhelmed at times.

VIRGO

Even when you’re on vacation, you’re working. You may simply take your lap top out to the patio or possibly cut your trip short.

Virgos are perfectionists by nature, which can make you overzealous when it comes to work.

LIBRA

Regardless of whether you’re sin­ gle or in a relationship, you have romance in mind when you con­ sider doing something drastic to get someone’s attention. Your home is where you go to recharge.

SCORPIO

Even if you planned on a relaxing vacation, it won’t be long before your restless spirit takes hold. You won’t miss any chance to share your point of view, and you’ll spend many enjoyable evenings debating.

SAGITTARIUS

You’ll be able to combine work and relaxation. If you’re self­employed, you won’t be able to resist check­ ing your emails, even though you promised yourself you’d disconnect during your vacation.

CAPRICORN

You’ll enjoy a shopping spree this week. You’ll appreciate a chance to negotiate with merchants and may come away with a great deal.

You’ll also escape from your rou­ tine with a spontaneous adventure.

AQUARIUS

Take the time to recharge your batteries before jumping back into action. Try to let go of con­ trol and let yourself be guided by life. It won’t lead you astray. The artist in you will find the inspi­ ration necessary to create a real masterpiece.

PISCES

A serious air follows you. You may even stay in contact with work while you’re on vacation.

You’ll think of big projects while you relax and take advantage of your time off. Your friends may need your help.

Do you have a digital camera and a photographer’s eye?

If so, why not take the plunge for the Summer Times’ annual photo contest!

Do your kids complain that they have nothing to do? From a young age, modern children are barraged with an onslaught of stimuli and experiences (electronic and otherwise), which may then result in them failing to develop the skills needed to engage their own minds. It’s this conditioning that’s likely behind your kids’ summertime declarations of boredom.

While it may be tempting to �ill the vacuum of your children’s discontent with activities and excursions, it may be better to let them be bored. Here are four reasons why you should allow your kids to �ind ways to entertain themselves this summer.

If you have a summer-themed photo from the region that you feel might just be good enough to ‘WOW!’ email it to us at observer@sasktel.net with the subject line “Summer Times Photo Contest”. Photos should be transmitted via email in their highest resolution. Photos that do not meet resolution requirements will not be considered in the contest.

One winner will be chosen every week, and that photo will grace the front page of the Summer Times newspaper for that week.

In the final issue of the Summer Times, a winner will be chosen from all the weekly winners, and that lucky person will be given a grand prize!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact: The Observer at 453-2525.

1. Boredom builds con�idence. When kids are successful at �inding ways to occupy themselves, it boosts their self-esteem. Being bored makes it more likely they’ll try new things and test their limits, which is also ideal for building con�idence.

2. Boredom improves creativity. Having nothing to do encourages kids to use their imagination to invent games and �ind ways to amuse themselves.

3. Boredom helps kids discover their interests. Studies have found that unstructured playtime lets kids develop decision making skills and discover their own interests.

4. Boredom forms friendships. Playing with other children helps little ones learn to communicate and read body language. When given time and space to play freely, they’ll begin to negotiate and create games together.

Bored kids are good for parents too. By letting your kids �ight their own boredom, you’ll have more time to complete your own tasks, and maybe even get bored yourself.

In recent years, scientists have started taking a closer look at boredom.

Their conclusion? Boredom happens when a person wants to be stimulated but can’t connect with their environment. Interestingly, researchers have found that modern children are especially susceptible to boredom (a phenomenon their parents are largely familiar with).

Business proud to be in Carlyle Tourism helps businesses succeed Estevan Mercury Carlyle has given its residents lots of reasons to be proud of where they live, and the town’s business community is one source of pride.

One of the long-standing businesses is King’s Department Store, located on Main Street. It’s a business that has plenty to offer its customers, with its fashion, footwear and accessories for adults and youths.

Owner Ken King said Carlyle is fortunate to have all that it has right now.

“We had what I would call some de�inite boom years, and things have tailed off since then, but they’re still very good,” said King. “We’re very fortunate to have what we have with the diverse economy. The tourism business is strong. The ag. business is strong.”

The people in the oil industry have been through tough times, but King hopes the prosperous times in the industry will come back.

Main Street in Carlyle attracts a lot of people. It’s just off of the junction of Highways 13 and 9. People are passing through on their way to the tourist destinations to the north of the town, or to other destinations in different directions.

The town also has lot of good business people.

“I have seen a lot of changes,” said King. “I’d like to say it’s all positive, and for the most part it has been. We’ve been fortunate to be surrounded by other great business people, who we’re able to piggyback off of their success, and the momentum that they have and the draw that they have.”

Main Street in many Saskatchewan communities has gone through tough times, but Carlyle is one that King believes has been able to sustain a great deal of strength.

King’s has gone through a lot of changes, too. It arrived in Carlyle in 1985, and since that time, it expanded. A few years ago, King purchased the neighbouring 122 Main The Ladies’ Boutique Store, after the previous owner, Judy Feduk, decided to retire. A link between to two stores was established, and that expanded retail and of�ice space has allowed them to grow.

“We’re very fortunate to be situated next door to a ladies’ wear store that has been there since 1963,” he said.

Thirteen full-time and part-time employees work in the Carlyle store.

King’s parents opened the original store in Wawota in 1976. The Wawota store is still open six days a week. They eventually expanded operations to Redvers in 1978 and Carlyle in 1985.

“We’re blessed to have people who appreciate what we do, and support us whole-heartedly, plus we have neighbouring communities who do exactly the same thing,” said King.

Tourism also provides a big draw for the community, with customers who are visiting White Bear First Nation, Kenosee Lake and Moose Mountain Provincial Park.

“That’s certainly always enjoyable. We love the tourism business just as much as we love the everyday business. So you get two great opportunities right here in one Main Street.”
