Southeast Search and Rescue receives a large donation in memory of Ruby Barnes

By Ana Bykhovskaia abykhovskaia@estevanmercury.ca The Bayliss family of Carnduff knows a thing or two about how it feels when a loved one goes missing. A year ago, on June 18, Rebecca Bayliss’ mother, Ruby Barnes, went missing from the Carlyle area.

At that time the RCMP was the main and only search and rescue resource in the region. They did their best, but it was not until October 22 when her vehicle was found near Esterhazy in a dense bush.

The investigation concluded the human remains found in the vehicle belonged to Barnes.

“One morning our mother was doing her normal daily stuff and that evening she was missing.

RCMP was called, family and friends, a lot of people in the community were out searching by vehicle, by foot. Some were on the phone calling companies, hospitals, anywhere you could find a phone number for people who travelled the roads. Only to come up empty-handed,” says the letter from Bayliss family.

Rebecca, her family and friends drove miles, day and night in a joint effort to find a missing woman.

“We had an amazing group of people offering their time and resources. (But) they had no clues (about) where to start. They had no concrete plan. Resources were limited. The RCMP were searching on and off duty. They all were amazing,” says the letter.

Unfortunately, the search didn’t end the way they would have liked. It also unveilled the gaps in regional search and rescue system.

So when the Southeast Saskatchewan Search and Rescue (SESK SAR) chapter was formed, the Bayliss family decided to donate an incident command trailer – one of the most important and vital needs on the volunteer SAR organization’s equipment list.

“We are donating this trailer because for Southeast Saskatchewan Search and Rescue (it) was one the major things they needed to have a starting point if this ever happens again,” Bayliss said in an interview with Lifestyles.

To supply the SESK SAR with the incident command trailer was Rebecca’s husband Bruce Bayliss’ idea. He shared it with Rebecca and she supported

Then Bruce’s brothers decided to join them in that.

“With this new chapter of SESK SAR, just about up and ready to go now there is another resource for the RCMP and families to reach out to. Bruce and Becky Bayliss, Integrity Oilfield Hauling and B&B Oilfield Hauling are donating this trailer which gives us a peace of mind, in memory of Ruby Barnes, that we as family, friends and communities will have a group of trained people to help start a search from a solid point,” says the letter.

Volunteers joining SESK SAR and willing to be able to go on real searches will have to have first aid and CPR certificates, and also go through the

40-hours of basic ground search and rescue training. Further down the line, they will learn more skills such as compass and map use, ATV and snowmobile search, team leadership and many more.

That will allow the broad southeast region to have a group of volunteers, who know what to do and how to react in case someone goes missing. And now they also will have the incident command trailer, which, when filled, is a central piece of equipment needed for search operations.

SuperNovas work for donation

On Friday, June 28 Chimo Building Supplies hosted a fundraising barbeque, helping raise funds for the Carlyle Fire Depatment. Preparing and serving the meal were (L-R) John Brownlee, Brent Stillwell, Martine Stillwell, Robin Brownlee, Jonah and Emme. (Photo by Mary Moffat)

From front page - SE Search & Rescue “The incident command trailer will provide us with a mobile base and staging area that can respond to search and rescue calls here in the southeast. It will allow us to store and transport our search and rescue equipment while also serving as a base of operations that we can equip with vital lifesaving communications and logistics technology,” said Dan Hardern, SESK SAR vice-president.

Rebecca Bayliss outlined that they hope that training and equipment will never get to be used.

“I hope we get this trailer filled up and it’s never needed. I hope it sits in the shop some-

where and we hope it rots because it’s not needed. But if somebody does go missing again then we have the people trained and resources there to help... maybe quicker than what happened with mom,” said Rebecca.

She noted that they had a lot of help when the tragedy happened, but there was no plan in place, which could affect the results of the search. And now, when SESK SAR is formed and is ready to start training and when the group has its own instant command trailer, the Baylisses hope that nobody else will ever have to experience what they did

for four months.

SESK SAR president Katia Bigney thanked the family for this very valuable donation.

“With the very meaningful and heartfelt donation by the Bayliss family, each and every chapter member will honour the memory of Ruby Barnes as we learn our skills and apply them during training and on activated searches. Much love and a very sincere thank you to Bruce and Becky Bayliss,” said Bigney.

Cliffhanger Signs and Designs out of Carievale joined the Bayliss family, Integrity Oilfield and B&B Oilfield Hauling by donating the decaling of the trailer.

Scheer win may make carbon tax challenge moot

By Murray Mandryk The Supreme Court of Canada will hear Saskatchewan’s appeal of the carbon tax on Dec. 5 … or it might not.

There is a federal election on October 21 and, should Opposition leader Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives defeat Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, the first order of business will be repeal of the carbon pricing act.

That would make any Supreme Court ruling specific on this specific tax (that took the form of an additional four cents a litre as of April) rather moot.

And it is within the jurisdiction of the court to decide not to rule on a law, if it is repealed at the time.

That said, Saskatchewan Justice Minister Don Morgan has said the Saskatchewan Party is interested in pursuing its appeal anyway to get a crystal clear understanding of federal taxation authority.

The Saskatchewan government’s SCC appeal comes in response to the 3-2 split decision by the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal upholding the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act. “I think it’s worthwhile to carry on with the court application in any event, and just get some better clarity,” Morgan told reporters last week, explaining why this province’s appeal will go forward regardless of the federal election result.

“I don’t think it matters which government is in office in Saskatchewan or in Ottawa.”

Removing any ambiguity related to federal taxation on this matter may even carry over to other matters of questionable federal jurisdiction like healthcare and pharmacare, Morgan said.

But the Justice Minister said the issue in hand remains the uneven application of taxation authority on this province and Ontario, New Brunswick, (and likely soon on Alberta, now that its new government under Jason Kenney said it will no longer comply with the act).

“It’s punitive treatment of some of the provinces, so we think it’s worthwhile to get some clarity as to their right to levy a disproportionate tax or a punitive tax,” Morgan said.

One gets the Sask. Party government need to do and are right to do what it feels it must to oppose the federal tax on carbon that started at $20 a tonne this year and is scheduled to increase to $50 a tonne by 2020.

Even if that means taxpayers here paying the lawyers’ bills for not only the Supreme Court challenge but also to intervene in the Ontario’s Court of Appeal case and others in the county, it can be argued that it’s well worth the costs.

Keeping the fuel costs close to something reasonable is a laudable goal for any government.

(This is something that even the federal Liberal government could seem to acknowledge, given its eagerness to province to dole out $600 or so in annual income tax rebates to families.)

And maybe this will cool down the unfortunate and irrational national unity tensions we are seeing.

There is no question that the overwhelming sentiment right now is Trudeau and his carbon tax must go.

This alienation is now often expressed in the 1980s language of Western separation, although the discussion doesn’t seem to every be taken to its logical conclusions. How would being a separate, landlocked country make it easier to move oil and other commodities to port? How would it make dealing with the U.S. or other customers any easier?

How would we be in a healthier economic situation, given the costs of setting of administration and defence costs of a separate nation … not to mention the share of existing Canadian debt we would likely have to take with us?

So perhaps it is better to, as Morgan is proposing, allow all this to play out in the election and the federal courts.

We do need a resolution to this matter.

What we can do when we try When our youngest daughter went from using open-style lockers to ones requiring combination locks at school, we knew she would resist. So one afternoon we had her practice over and over again. After a few frustrating attempts she crossed her arms and in exasperation exclaimed, “Why can’t we just use cubbies?” But Shelley Luedtke after a few more tries she admitted it actually was rather easy. We used that story over the years whenever we wanted to remind her, “See what you can do when you try?”

Last month, residents of Outlook were put on a water restriction. No watering of lawns or gardens; and no washing of cars. Less than 48 hours later the order was rescinded. There was a lot of reaction to the restriction, but also innovation as people considered changes in practice, like putting a bucket in the shower and collecting the water that normally runs down the drain waiting for it to reach a desired temperature. A friend used that water on her flowers and wondered why she hadn’t been doing that all along.

When the restriction was lifted the town indicated we reduced consumption by more than 50%.

Little changes put into use during that time could continue and although the reduction wouldn’t be nearly as drastic, we might surprise ourselves at what we could do if we put intention into the attempt. When it comes to water conservation I wonder what more of us could do if we really tried.

People were talking about efforts they remember their grandparents making to conserve and repurpose items. We couldn’t help but laugh as one man shared the lengths to which his grandmother went, washing and re-using everything. “Our grandparents were the original recyclers,” he remarked.

Although some efforts were more successful than others, it pointed out how wasteful we have become in the disposable nature of products we consume in vast amounts. We’re told government legislation is

Publisher ............................. Richard Sadick Advertising ........................ Sean Choo Foo Production ..........Karen Mitchell-Steele ................................................... Dolores Young Reporter ....................................Mary Moffat

on its way, but how much better it would be if we each took steps on our own because it mattered, not because it was mandated. There are things we could do, if it meant enough to us.

There was a comedienne who joked about a woman she worked with, saying, “She has the kind of body I would do anything to have. Except diet and exercise.” Funny yes, but it also speaks to how often we accept things to be the way they are, rather than looking into how we might make them better. In any area of our lives. There are steps we can take to build better health. There are choices that can be made to hit personal financial goals. There are ways to reduce the amount of garbage we make or the water we consume, but it takes work. We have to ask ourselves what it is worth to us.

In the hours following the fire at Notre Dame money started pouring in for its rebuild. Whenever a heartbreaking event occurs people look for ways to help, and often the first thought is financial. What was donated in just the first 48 hours was astounding. But where is that same urgency to feed the hungry or house the homeless, or provide care for those with mental illness or fund research into diseases being battled? Don’t get me wrong, I believe people have the right to do with their money whatever they choose. Certainly, we can help restore a beautiful cathedral but are we as willing to put those same resources into helping start a new church somewhere?

Or dig wells for those whose reality of water restriction means little access to any water--at any time?

Why such an immediate reaction to one event, when so many others struggle to find funding? What could more of us do if we tried?

When we’re in situations that require us to respond with care and diligence we can certainly be counted on to be resourceful, inventive, ingenious and yes, so very generous. It begs the question, if we can do things when we have to, why aren’t we doing the same when we should? It might be a rather remarkable discovery to be able to say, “Look at what we did—because we tried.”

That’s my outlook.

Weekly RCMP report Submitted by Staff Sgt. Darren Simons • Sometimes our Criminals pass on some valuable information that we just have to share. The following is from an individual that was involved in a crime spree from Alberta through to Manitoba. They were a lovely couple that were feeding their drug habit.

• When someone wants to type in a credit card number instead of producing it, it’s a red flag as a fraud, the criminal only has to memorize a person’s credit card number. It is for this reason you should always ask for ID with a credit card if it seems suspicious. If the individual is insulted and angry it is more likely due to the fact they are a criminal. If you are afraid you may lose business, trust us, you may have just saved yourself from losing much more than a little business. If the customer is a legitimate user for the credit card they should appreciate your efforts in trying to avoid illegal use of credit cards. You should also always monitor your bank transactions, sometimes the banks won’t catch it until it’s too late.

• Businesses with debit/credit machines should look into whether their terminal has a standardized code being those that commit fraud can obtain this code very easily. If you have a standardized code machine you may wish to look into obtaining a replacement.

• So we are on a big kick about keeping our oceans clean. We don’t have an ocean in or near Saskatchewan but we have rivers, lakes, and well fields and forests.

Let us keep them clean.

Don’t throw litter or drop litter. Find a garbage can.

• A couple is driving down the road and the passenger throws their gum out the window.

The driver said “You shouldn’t do that” The passenger replied “It was just a small piece of gum”. The driver responded. “What if someone steps in it?” The passenger quickly responded (with sarcasm).

“Any one stupid enough to be standing on the side of the highway in the middle of nowhere deserves to step in gum” The driver was quiet, the passenger then responded quietly “So yesterday, when you came home for lunch and had to take your boot off before you came in because it had gum on it? (pause)” The driver took advantage of the pause and said “Yup, I was stupid enough to be standing on the side of the highways in the middle of nowhere and stepped in gum” The passenger then replied “So you stopped a violator and gave out a ticket then?” Let us just say I may still be stupid and stand on the side of the highway in the middle of nowhere, but gum no longer goes out our vehicle window.

• Members responded to a domestic after a 911 hangup, however, it appears to only be an argument and at this time we do not have enough for charges.

• A window was smashed out of a vehicle in Kenosee. Our investigation continues.

• We continue to get reports of fuel thefts.

Please ensure your gas and diesel tanks are locked. This will not stop the thefts, however, it will make it more difficult. Security cameras also provide assistance in proving what did or did not happen.

• We are investigating where a rental property was damaged.

Please ensure you always get a valid credit card or an adequate damage deposit.

• We have two fraud investigations.

One where the financial institution assisted in preventing the complain-

ant from being a victim.

Unfortunately the other was through a social media platform and the victim may be out several hundred dollars.

• We are investigating a file where it is alleged that two cases of beer, 2 packs of cigarettes and a teenager was taken by friends of the teenager......it appears the teenager voluntarily left with their friends and we are investigating whether it was more of a borrow, rather than a theft.

• An individual managed to attend court, then managed to get extremely intoxicated once done with court and attract the attention of several individuals with one contacting the Police which resulted in the individual being arrested and lodged until sober.

• Members responded to a call of an unwanted occupant in a residence. Investigation revealed the unwanted occupant was in a relationship with the proprietor of the residence and they were only being hospitable and permitting the complainant to stay. The expression “Not in my house” only works if it is your house.

• A semi was stolen, and it was found and we will not be laying charges being we don’t have suspects and the owner does no appear to want us to do much more than what we have already done.

• We responded to several Mental Health and Child Welfare calls.

One babysitter was paying adequate attention and did not realize a child had left a residence, however, beyond that everything was OK. • Unfortunately “the system” regardless which system, does not work. Twice in the last week we have arrested and lodged individuals for criminal offences, however, in reality it is mental health issues that should be dealt with. If all else fails, let the Mounties handle it.

• Sometimes a traffic stop can lead to much

more. The violator was found to be on conditions not to leave the province of Manitoba.

The passengers were on conditions of no contact with each other. A small amount of perceived drugs was also located and sent away for analysis. The three were charged for failing to comply with their release conditions and drug charges are more than likely forthcoming.

• Have I mentioned we like multiple choice.

Do I give a ticket for speeding, no seatbelt, unregistered vehicle, or open liquor. Depending on the attitude of the driver and their passengers it can be one of the above, or all of the above. Contrary to some beliefs, we don’t get paid to be insulted, yelled at, demeaned or spit on.

• Members were conducting a traffic stop and an individual slowed and drove by at the required 60 km/hr, however, they were not paying attention and almost struck one of the Members and received a $280 ticket for driving with undue care and attention.

• One individual is contesting their seatbelt ticket. The issue is not whether they were wearing the seatbelt, rather it is because they don’t identify as the individual on their drivers licence.

This will be going to trial we are certain.

• We issued 20 tickets and 20 warnings over the last week.

• Tickets were issued for no seatbelt - $175, no insurance $580, Fail to stop at stop sign $230, operate motor vehicle with unrestrained passenger under 16 - $175, fail to produce registration $100, drive with undue care and attention - $280, insecure helmet -$100, fail to produce current trip inspection report - $160, fail to maintain a daily log - $150 and most expensive speeding ticket was for $300.

• Warnings were issued for drive with undue care and attention, fail to have registration,

fail to stop at stop sign, fail to produce drivers licence, fail to produce registration, speeding, lamp emitting blue or green light, fail to wear seatbelt and speeding.

• Inspection notices were issued for windshield, install mudflaps and fenders, window

tint, fail to signal, • A driving tip. If there is a police car in front of you they are likely doing the speed limit or a little faster.

Don’t pass the police car if you are in a rush.

If you choose to do so don’t be mad about the ticket.

A graveside service will be held for

Lucille Fichtner, Saturday, July 13th, at the Arcola Graveyard at 1:00 pm.

This will be followed by a tea and sandwiches at the Arcola Optimist Legion.

All are welcome!

Maryfield Villa News Submitted by Janet Mark The event of the week was a visit from Keith Olson and Garry Dixon, with their saxophone and accordian music. Fred did the honors; dancing with Marianne, his daughter Teresa, the cook and Charlotte. The Belle of the Ball was Marie, who has found there is FUN with dancing and card games all day at the Villa. Thank you to the members of the Villa Guild who brought many salads and served a barbecue.

Visitors this week included: Sherry Wilson: Joyce Roe and Berna Parker, Moosomin; Alan Daku, Allan and Marge Yates; Joes and Shirley Blaise.

As a followup to Fathers Day, the Circle of Friends brought Memories of Dad. Grace said, “He loved music and instruments.” “They tell me I laugh just like he did. “ Ruth Dennis, “My dad spoiled me.”

“He loved violin and guitar.” Ruth Holmstrom’s father was concerned about his children, and sent her money when she was on her own.

Fred’s father taught him to love horses and run a threshing outfit. Gladys’ dad started the fire in the morning so the kids could be warm to dress, and was a good provider. Violet’s father was a young Hungarian who soon learned English.

Carol’s dad was a forest ranger in Northern Saskatchewan, and a violinist. He took her up a fire watchtower. Margaret remembered having wiener roasts after chores.

Ralph Mills rememberd that it was his Dad who did the spring cleaning, washing walls and ceilings. Leora’s Dad was interested in scholarship, and helped her learn the multiplication tables. Janet’s father had come west at 16, and spend a year alone with his father breaking the homestead. Asked about the “Dirty 30s”, he said, “I don’t like to think of them.” He did not praise easily.

Mariann’s father was a disciplinarian, who expected obedience. Clifford’s father had a great sense of humor even when sick. Ralph Burke, “He was a good dad, very clever.” “He died young.”

tion when driving. Let the summer be a happy and enjoyable time of the year for everyone.

The Alida Swimming Pool was opened for this year’s season on June 22 and then on June 27 it will be open every afternoon every day. Swimming lessons will soon be held as well – check at your nearest pool for times and dates.

Enjoy the swimming pools kids and play safe.

I was out in my garden for a while one evening, glad to report that most of the seeds have now sprouted and poking their tops through the ground. Of course that means the weeds are also coming up fast – so it will mean getting out in to the garden when weather permits which likely is early mornings or in the evenings, as that old sun is really making things hot in the afternoons. Noticed that my garden is also really

dry again, could sure use another 2 or 3 inches of rain. The crops could also use more moisture.

They too are growing quickly could sure use a drink and this dry weather could soon be causing problems – Hoping for rain again soon, but no storms. I just heard that the Storm Chasers are heading out for our area.

We don’t need that kind of weather, but it is hot and muggy out there, so one never knows.

It’s Canada Day on Monday, July 1 – Happy Birthday Canada. Hope you are able to take in some Canada Day celebrations near you. As of yet we have no real plans – will just be a spur of the moment decision as to what we will do.

Hubby does have another Radio Contest – The Canada Day Contest and I’m not sure if he’s planning on trying to make a few contacts – time will tell.

As I predicted there’s not much news being reported to me at this time (an early deadline for July 5 issue) – but maybe more will be for the usual scheduled deadline on Monday, July 8. People likely began their holidays on the first which hopefully will be forwarded on to me on their return home.

Happy Holidays folks – Drive safely and have fun.

Oh, don’t forget folks to keep me posted anytime on any happenings going on in and around Alida as well as within your family, either call me (306-443-2496) or text (306-485-8561) or e-mail (g.cowan@sasktel.net). I will see that your news gets into a paper. I do appreciate all your input as it does help keep this column interesting. Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and Take care.
