Estevan, Oxbow and Carlyle
By Stephanie Zoer
Alanna Threinen is the activities director at the New Hope Pioneer Lodge in Stoughton and has been for the past two years.
She is always looking for ways to keep the residents entertained with fun and interesting activities.
This year she came up with a new idea that keeps the residents curious and eager to find out the end result.
One month ago, Threinen brought in an incubator filled with duck and chicken eggs to hatch.
It takes 28 days for duck and chicken eggs to hatch, and each day the residents went and
checked on the eggs, ensuring that the temperature was correct.
Not knowing if all the eggs were fertilized, the eggs were candled to see if veins could be seen growing inside. This can be a hit and miss process.
In the end two chicks and one duck were successfully hatched much to the excitement of the people who call the lodge home.

Threinen said that it was such a wonderful experience to see the residents take such an interest in the process of hatching eggs and how much they cared for them. Those who wanted to, had a chance to cuddle with the little creatures before they found their homes a few days later.
On Mother’s Day another festive occasion took place for the residents, with a day of celebration for the moms.
The community room was filled to the brim with residents and guests who came to visit loved ones and friends.
They were entertained by Kylee Carver. She is the principal at the Fillmore School but is also one of the partners in the Dueling Pianos.
New Hope Pioneer Lodge finds ways to keep the residents entertained
While she entertained the guests, they were served refreshments and dainties.
In another room a bake sale was held, and Threinen said the goods went quickly and they had received many donations for the sale.
These funds help with more activities for the residents such as going out for coffee or ordering pizza, as the government only gives a certain amount of funds for this.
Threinen’s dad Troy Threinen made a cornhole game that raffle tickets are being sold on. Many tickets were sold over the weekend, and sales will continue until June 1.
A beautiful flower basket door prize was up for grabs, and a resident was
the lucky one to win this. Threinen was incredibly happy about the outcome of the day and thankful for all the donations received for the sale. It was highly successful and will offer more events for the residents at the New Hope Pioneer Lodge.

Working to increase Kenosee Lake’s water level
By Kaitlynn Nordal
For many Saskatchewanians, their favourite summer pastime is time at the lake. But what happens when the lake does not have enough water?
This is the exact problem Moose Mountain Water Resource Management Corp (MMWRMC), a non-profit organization that tracks water levels, is trying to solve at Kenosee Lake.
Kenosee Lake is unique because it is on top of a hill.
“It’s not fed by any rivers, streams, or creeks. All the water in Kenosee Lake comes from the back country,” explained Kim Crawford secretary for MMWRMC.
From measurements taken in the past, the last time Kenosee Lake was full was 1955. The levels started to change in the 1960’s with oil development altering the landscape.
In 1977, Kenosee Lake got lots of precipitation. “But they noticed the watershed was no longer draining into Kenosee Lake,” said Crawford.
Having a drought in the 1980s also lowered the lake’s levels. A 2009 measurement found that Kenosee Lake was at an all-time low.
“We were 20 feet below capacity,” said Crawford.
This was when MMWRMC was formed. “It was a group of local citizens who were concerned about the historically low lake levels,” said Crawford.
In 2010, the superintendent in the park started mapping elevations, figuring out the existing watershed, and how to get water to flow to the lake. They also started doing low-level crossings, repairing culverts, removing beaver dams, and stiffening water in between lakes.
The lake was then restocked with fish and they lowered and expanded the culvert running between Little Kenosee and Kenosee Lake with new low-level crossings.
From 2010 to 2017, Kenosee Lake went up 17 feet 5 inches. “For comparison, during that same time, White Bear Lake rose six to eight feet so the difference between the two lakes is probably due to the efforts of our corporation and park staff working together,” said Crawford.
Kenosee Lake was 2 feet 7 inches from being full in 2017. In 2018, the government contracts and funding were taken away, and all the funding MMWRMC received through the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities
was cancelled.
“The funding for the maintenance of Kenosee’s critical watershed was then supplied solely by our organization,” said Crawford.
As of the beginning of May 2025, Kenosee Lake was 5-feet 1 inch from being full. They will continue to check back lakes and map elevations to determine runoff.
“The park staff assist where they can. Moose Mountain Provincial Park and our water management group have an excellent working relationship. We meet every year to determine a plan of action,” said Crawford.
They are currently concentrating on removing beaver dams, trenching, and putting in lowlevel crossings.
“Without constant maintenance the back lakes would stop flowing again to Kenosee Lake and our park would lose a lot of its luster,” said Crawford.
“Our job is to work with park staff to try and maintain the critical watershed and make sure the back lakes keep flowing to Kenosee Lake,” continued Crawford.
For Kenosee to be considered full, it must be at an altitude of 742.2 metres above sea level (2,435.04 feet above sea level)
To get their measurements, MMWRMC compares everything to what they call full spill level
“This is what Kenosee, would be at full and how far down from there we are,” said Crawford.
As of May 2024, the water level was down six inches.
“Kenosee is a shallow lake, so once the levels drop, we start losing all the fish, so the ecosystem then starts to fall apart. Kenosee relies on a lot of recreational activities. It’s a busy lake,” said Crawford.
At the time of publication Kenosee Lake was considered five feet from being full (five vertical feet along the shoreline).
“If you think of the lake
being like a martini glass, if it drops down five feet along the shoreline it’s coming in a lot more than five feet,” said Crawford. “It affects all the way around the shoreline. All of a sudden, we start to see areas of shore that are exposed that haven’t been exposed for many years.”
Those at MMWRMC are trying to raise Kenosee Lake to the needed five feet. They plan on going out sometime in June and July to check and do maintenance.
Reporting from fall 2024 states there is very little water in the back lakes, but some of the lakes farther back are getting full.
“We would look at trying to move some of that water forward so that if we do get a big dump of rain, we already have the water moved up as far as we can,” said Crawford. “Then with a little extra help from Mother Nature we can get it flowing down into Kenosee again. We look where the water is backing up and they track it. Then if we can move it
forward then that’s what we are going to do.”
As a non-profit MMWRMC acquire funds through memberships and donations.
“We don’t have any other source of income,” said Crawford. Those interested in being part of MMWRMC can purchase a yearly
membership for $25. For more information or a membership those interested can contact Crawford at MMWRMC@sasktel.net.

Death is a certainty for all
I planned to use this week’s Paulywogs to write about my voting day experience as a poll worker, but something more important arose. My original plan will have to be shelved for another couple of weeks… and by then, most of us will have long forgotten about the election.
When I was younger, I was interested in different ways that people met their end. Here are three of them. These all come from the late 1970’s.
In Italy, two motorists were driving towards each other in a fog so dense that they couldn’t see the front of their cars. To get even a sense of where the road was, they both had rolled their windows down to look out. As it happens, they were too close together, they banged heads and both entered eternity.
In another incident, in New York, a cat was perched on a small ledge several stories above the ground. One person noticed it and that drew the attention of many others. As people watched, some backed onto the street and were hit by drivers and killed. Another found the excitement too much and had a heart attack and perished. When all was said and done, the cat was rescued…but seven people on the ground died.
One more. This one wasn’t so much as bizarre as the first two, but a comment from a neighbour was. In Chicago, a man shot his whole family…if memory serves me correctly, he shot his wife and four children before turning the gun on himself. Newspaper reporters were on the scene, trying to get a glimpse into the life of the man who held the gun. One neighbour astutely observed something like this – “The family fought a lot…but nothing like this before.”
We read stories like this, and perhaps see a bit of humour in the midst of tragedy.
But really, there’s nothing funny about death.
The harshness of death has hit me hard again over the past several months. It began with the passing of my brother-in-law, who died unexpectedly at the age of 60. I recently attended a funeral of a person who died tragically at the age of 20. Far, far, far too young. And then even more recently, I heard the news of a man whom I had talked to on voting day who was killed in a car accident. He was 57.
Death is tragic and death is a certainty for all of us. Sometimes we are fortunate to have some warning, as a dear friend of mine did almost two years ago. He had cancer and the doctors told the family that he had no more than a few months to live. He ended up having several months beyond that, and it gave him and his family time to help prepare him for death and to make sure that everything was in order.
But for those who die accidentally or prematurely, often there is no time to prepare or get everything in order. So many people pass from this life not realizing when they get up that morning, it will be for the last time.
My ‘main job’ is pastoring. I have tried to make a point of not using this column to expound my religious beliefs, but with death coming so close to me lately, I can’t help it today.
Perhaps life’s greatest tragedy is that none of us is immune to death. It might give us a warning that it’s coming…but for many, it’s a terrible surprise.
Most of us find comfort in believing heaven is our final destination, and is the place where our loved ones have gone. Heaven is introduced and described in the Bible, but sadly, many don’t take the time to read what it says about how to get there. The Bible is clear – take some time to discover what it says before it’s too late.
Nothing’s impossible “It always seems impossible, until it is done.”
Because of what they did I get to do what I do
The wind was strong and the traffic was noisy at times but nothing could rob the atmosphere that was created at Veterans Memorial Park as we marked the 80th anniversary of VE Day; the end of World War II in Europe.
Legion Branch 262 members led a poignant ceremony which included the reading of the names of local men and women who served in the war. It was jarring every time we heard the words “killed in action”. So much loss of life—just from this region, let alone the rest of the country, not to mention soldiers and civilians from all other countries involved. It reinforced what had been shared earlier in the ceremony that the cost of war cannot possibly be calculated.
Ninety minutes later I was sitting with my colleagues as we waited for the announcement of the annual Better Newspapers Competition award winners. We had several nominations in the mix
and were excited to hear the final results. But it wasn’t lost on me that I only have opportunity to do what I enjoy doing because someone else fought for my freedom to do it.
One beautiful summer day while on a holiday my husband and I were walking through a park when we came across a significant war memorial. Visitors walk amidst 87 large rocks called story stones. Boulders have been inscribed with excerpts of letters sent home by soldiers, or messages loved ones sent to a serving family member. As you wander through and read their words, you are taken into the hearts and thoughts of soldiers and families representing different generations, different wars, but similar sentiment.
Each stone told the story of someone wearing a uniform stationed in some far off place, or the hopes and prayers of a loved one awaiting news of their safety. One boulder featured words we can assume resulted in utter shrieks of relief and tears of joy: I know Grandma and the rest of you were terribly worried when you received the “Missing in Action” notice...but I’m alright. (1945)
Another family received words far less comforting: Well I’ve got some bad news you might not want to know. I’ve been shot. (1968)
One soldier sent a special reminder to his daughter: Be a good girl Mary...Daddy will come home some day again. (1945)
Some soldiers expressed a longing for home; not just for family but nation as well: I never realized what love of country was until I was on foreign soil. (1919)
Or the soldier who said any attempt to explain what he was experiencing would be in vain: There is no language that can describe, no pen, picture, or painting that can or ever will illustrate the scenes that transpired. (1862)
Sometimes the enormity of the numbers masks our ability to see the individuals. So many painful, heartbreaking losses. Yet what was lost was more than the life of the soldier. It was also the celebration of parents watching offspring marry, or have a child, or pursue a career; the connection of a sibling whose storehouse of shared memories comes to an end; or the hopes of a future spouse and the dreams of the life they would have shared.
What those lost soldiers could have become will never be known. What kind of teachers, farmers, carpenters, mechanics, engineers or entrepreneurs would they have made? What diseases might they have cured? What books could they have written? What
families would they have formed?
We will not know what might have been. They were more than soldiers. They were sons and daughters, brothers and sisters. Cousins. Friends. The stories of the families went on but were unquestionably different because of the pages that would forever remain unwritten.
As I listened to the list of names read out last week I was struck by how many of the last names are familiar to me. Legacies have been carried on through those left behind. Those names have shaped this community and beyond, and we are the fortunate beneficiaries.
The sacrifices of their loved ones bought the freedom that we now enjoy and have allowed us to continue to tell our stories, even when theirs came to an end far too early.
The newspaper nominations and awards mean a lot and yes, we display them proudly. Being recognized by the industry is something we don’t take lightly. But that recognition has to extend to the great privilege I have in getting to do what I do.
Plaques and certificates represent past work, but the opportunity to tell the stories of others, because of the sacrifices of those soldiers, is something I am fortunate to live out day to day. All I can say is thank you. That’s my outlook.

Robert Anderson copes with his wife’s dementia
By Paul Kimball
On March 21st, Robert and Carol Anderson celebrated their 55th anniversary. They didn’t have a nice dinner at home or a special dinner at a fancy restaurant. They celebrated at the Gainsborough & Area Health Centre, where Carol lives.
Carol has dementia.
Their story began back in 1969 when they met in Winnipeg and were married in 1970. Robert was a student in university; Carol a schoolteacher.
A year after marrying, they moved to Carnduff to help out with the family business – an International Harvester dealership. The family divested itself of that in 1989 and formed an automotive and industrial supply company where they both worked until their retirement in 2013. They lived together and worked together. He did the selling and delivering…she maintained the office and drove a forklift in the warehouse. They spent a lot of time together. Over the years their family grew to three children – Robert, Jennifer and Coral – and nine grandchildren.
Robert and Carol’s ‘togetherness’ continued in their retirement. They travelled every year. Their favourite destination was Spain because of the beautiful scenery and the people, who were very respectful and helpful to tourists. Together they danced, listened to ‘nice’ music and watched movies. Together they travelled to Winnipeg often to be with Carol’s parents.
They also continued
to walk, swim and golf together – activities they took up following Robert’s heart attack at the age of 42.
The only thing they didn’t do together was garden. Carol had a great ‘green thumb’ and Robert didn’t. Despite his efforts to help, it was always wrong. Through all this, Carol was very healthy – not so much as a filling in her teeth.
In 2022, Robert began noticing a few ‘quirks’ but didn’t think much of them at the time. Carol would leave things where they didn’t belong…she’d get up a lot during the night…things like that. At first, Robert ignored them and didn’t connect any of this with dementia.
Things continued to deteriorate.
Carol, who Robert jokingly referred to as his GPS whenever they
drove anywhere, lost that ability. She started questioning a lot of things and became argumentative. Never one to fall asleep while Robert was driving the car, she once drifted off while she was behind the wheel. Robert, who had fallen asleep, awoke and was startled by how closely she was tailing the truck in front of her. She also lost interest in cooking, which previously had been a passion for her.
Robert began to realize something was seriously wrong. He tried caring for her in her worsening condition, but that took its toll on him. She’d wander around the house during the night and Robert couldn’t sleep because he wondered what she was up to. Had she turned on the stove? Had she gone outside? He
even set up baby gates to limit her movement, but it was all to no avail.
One evening, the two of them went out to a local restaurant. When they returned home, Carol refused to get out of the car. Robert had to make an urgent trip to the washroom and when he returned to get her, discovered that she had tried entering the house by herself, had fallen and injured her head.
It was then that Robert realized that Carol needed more care than he was capable of providing. He began exploring continuing care facilities. Weyburn was too far away… Carlyle was a good option, but a bit too noisy, so he settled on the facility in Gainsborough.
That was in September of 2024.
Robert visits Carol
three to five times a week. He is also on call 24/7, available to help out on a moment’s notice if Carol gets too restless.
Robert is very thankful for the home in Gainsborough. The staff keep him well-informed with what’s going on with Carol and he feels they do everything possible to make Carol feel at home.
As comfortable as Robert is with where Carol is at, he still finds it hard. He is having to learn to do many of the things Carol did. He’s thankful for his daughters Jennifer and Coral who come to his rescue.
He misses Carol’s guidance in decision-making. There are still times when Robert forgets that Carol is no longer home. He’ll ask her a question only to remember that she’s in Gainsborough.
Robert receives a lot of
support from a few good friends and his fellow Freemasons. He’s also a part of a support group that meets monthly via Zoom. He is very thankful for how well SHA (Saskatchewan Health Authority) have treated both Carol and him over the years with their health issues.
With eyes welling up with tears, Robert reflected on how much he loves the big hugs he receives from Carol when he visits. Those hugs make him look forward to seeing her. He dreads the day when she no longer recognizes him.
How has Robert coped with his wife’s dementia? He has chosen to focus upon what was and what continues to be in their 55 years of marriage. He refuses to dwell upon the what-if’s and the whatwill be’s.

Tree program supporting the environment successful two years running
By Kaitlynn Nordal
With a focus now more than ever on the environment, every organization is doing what they can to help, and that includes all the branches in the Southeast Regional Library.
Those in the Southeast Regional Library participated in Neighbourhood Forest in 2024 after seeing that another regional library was doing it.
“We wanted to see if we could get involved. They are very easy to connect with,” said Morgan Kelly, community service manager for Southeast Regional Library
They then signed up as a designated registration organization so that every library in the region could participate if they chose to.
“We were then able to get all our libraries set up as pickup points,”

said Kelly.
Kelly and those in the Southeast Regional Library district have been trying to branch out with their offerings, so participating in the Neighbourhood Forest was perfect.
“We have been trying to branch out and expand what the library offers so that people don’t think of us as just a place that has books,” said Kelly.
“We have been trying to make a lot more things easier to borrow. We now have Wi-Fi hotspots, different items for physical activity, and we are working on more of those kinds of things. We have never done anything like the tree giveaway with an environmental aspect, so we thought we would give it a try,” continued Kelly.
The success of the 2024 season made those in the Southeast Regional Library district want to do it again.
“It went well last year,” said Kelly. “We were surprised at how big of a turnout we got from the public, so we

thought we would do it for a second year.”
They set up every branch in the Southeast Regional Library district again as pickup locations and did almost as many trees as last year, with 846 trees this year.
“We had a lot of new people this year. I was expecting some repeats, but almost 80% of them were new to the program this year. That was good,” said Kelly.
“We had a lot of branches where if they had one or two registrations last year, they had more this year, which is great,” continued Kelly. “There were some branches where the opposite happened, so it depended on the community, but overall, it
went well.”
“I think we had the word out now, so people were more familiar and were expecting trees to come to the library again, so they spread the word,” continued Kelly. “We had kids who were signed up who were not school age yet, so we got some parents who are coming in and getting more involved, and saw it was something we have.”
Kelly hopes this is a draw to the various libraries in their region for people.
“A lot of people who registered for trees do have library cards already. I expected it to be more people who didn’t. We are hoping this is a good draw for people
who haven’t come to visit us before. This may be something that prompts them to get a card and see everything else we have to offer,” said Kelly. Although pickup went well, there was a delay at some branches due to weather and the long weekend.
“For the most part, everyone got everything before Easter. People were very quick to come in and get their trees,” said Kelly.
This year, those in the region got Quaking Aspen trees.
“Last year we had a pine tree, which is typically what you expect you will get in Saskatchewan, so it was nice we got a tree with leaves this year. That was exciting,” said Kelly.
“Every year they pick based on what will work best on whatever zone you are in, the type of soil you have, and the type of climate. For the most part I don’t think this area will get many fruit-bearing trees,” said Kelly. Due to their success Kelly sees the program running for years to come.
“Neighbourhood Forest is always getting new funders and sponsors. It seems like something they are able to continue. They have grown quite large. I don’t think they have any intention of stopping,” said Kelly.
Kelly and those in the Southeast Regional Library will announce in January or February 2026 if they plan on doing it again.
Morgan Kelly, community service manager for Southeast Regional Library says the success of the Neighbourhood Forest initiative was so successful in 2024 that they decided to do it again this year. Photo courtesy M. Kelly.

2025 Legion Banner project
By Doug Waldner
In the past few years, the Carlyle Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion has been involved with a very exciting way to honour military veterans. This project was, of course, the production and display of commemorative banners.
The local branch has worked with Comrade Craig Bird of the Southeast Military Museum (SEMM) to get the banners manufactured and the administration and employees of the Town of Carlyle have worked tirelessly to get the banners posted around town for the Remembrance Day period. The Legion, and all those who have purchased banners, are
tremendously grateful to all those involved in the manufacture and installation of these banners. Although the Remembrance Day period is late October and early November, it is necessary to start work on this project early. The banners of veterans, like the one in the attached photo, may be purchased by family members, employers, or Legion branches.
To be sure that the banners can be prepared on time please be sure that all information for this year is submitted before June 30, 2025. Banners cost $200 and require the following information:
1. Photo (preferably in uniform) – (legion may already have one)
2. Name and rank
3. Unit served with (if known)
4. Era (WW1, WW2, Korean, Afghanistan, Peacekeeping, Peacetime, etc.)
5. Who you want in the “Remembrance “portion of the banner. If you would like to share your banner with another Veteran, the cost would be $100. They would place one photo and information on each side of the banner.
For more information, please contact Comrade Nedra Clark at 306-453-2827 or email at gnclark23@gmail.com
Please consider honouring a veteran in this manner, whether they be a family member, an employee or a past employee.
“Lest we forget.”

One family’s experience with Glioblastoma – the most aggressive type of primary brain tumor in adults- is prompting them to speak out if it can help others who may find themselves in a similar situation.
Rob Allison met the woman who would become his partner, Lisa, while teaching English in South Taiwan.
“She was a very intelligent and humble person (who was) not materialistic,” said Rob. “She cared for everybody. Everyone loved and respected her. She never wanted to be in the spotlight. She was a smart but quiet person. She was an incredible wife, mom, and friend.”
They would go on to be together for 20 years.
The Allison’s knew something was wrong with Lisa three days before being diagnosed with Glioblastoma.
Rob had taken Lisa to urgent care in Regina. They were told it was s sinus infection, so they got medication for that, but Lisa continued to feel disoriented, confused, and nauseous.
“It came on quick,” said Rob. “That morning, she seemed normal, just tired, that’s when I took her to the ER at the general.”
Just after midnight on January 29, Rob was called back to the hospital – he had gone home to be with their son Jayden.
The hospital had performed a CT scan on Lisa. “They realized she was full of brain cancer,” said Rob.
“They realized she was full of brain cancer,” said Rob.
The largest tumor was 2.5 x 4.5 cm.
“There were several lesions that spread throughout the brain, which were causing the brain to move,” said Rob. “It was 12 mm from the centre of her brain. That’s how much it had swollen. That’s what was pushing on the skull and giving her headaches.”
Later on January 29, Lisa was moved to neurology at the General Hospital.
On January 30 –which happens to be Rob’s birthday- Lisa was formally diagnosed with terminal Glioblastoma a type

Family hopes to use their experience to help others
of cancer that starts as a growth of cells in the brain or spinal cord.
“It’s the worst invasive brain cancer you can get,” said Rob.
This changed the Allison family’s lives forever.
“It changed our lives forever,” said Rob. “It was the worst nightmare it was deeply painful to witness and watch.”
Lisa immediately took action.
Upon diagnosis, the surgeons estimated that without treatment, Lisa had one to three months to live, but with treatment, she had six to nine months.
“The reality was that the disease was growing faster than the treatment. Lisa wanted to fight to be with me and our son. She wanted to fight by doing chemo and radiation, but halfway through, I believe the treatments didn’t work,” said Rob.
During this time, Lisa also went blind, deaf, and was losing weight,
“She was terrified going blind and then deaf,” said Rob. “The most horrific day out of all of them was when she lost her hearing.”
Rob took Lisa back to the ER at the Pasqua Hospital at this point.
“Lisa was confused. The tumors were pressing on certain nerves. It was affecting many different areas,” said Rob.
“She suffered severely. My son and I have had many conversations throughout this tragedy. We are traumatized for life. Our lives will never be the same. The worst part of it was that here was somebody that was young beautiful vibrant.”
From the time of diagnosis to Lisa’s death was 84 days.
Rob did home care and Jayden helped as he could for five weeks.
“The worst part is that we slowly watched her die. Every day got a little worse. There was always something,” said Rob.
“Lisa was very optimistic. She made videos for my family members. She made cards for the nursing staff,” said Rob. “She made videos for Jayden to watch in the future on his graduation (and), wedding day. She planned. She was very organized. She never complained even knowing her life was going to be short.”

« A8 “We watched her slowly fade away. I have no words to explain the pain of that,” continued Rob.
The Allison family could have never known this is the turn their lives would take when they were in Florida at Christmas.
“It was a great vacation,” said Rob. “We had a lot of fun (there were) no symptoms. Everything was normal.”
It was only three weeks in between coming home to the Allison’s knowing something was wrong.
“She was fighting for her life three weeks after we got home,” said Rob.
Although it was an awful experience, Rob and Jayden are grateful to everyone at the hospital who took care of Lisa.
“The palliative unit is another world,” said Rob. “When you open those doors, it’s a different feeling. The care, love, empathy, (and) support (was) amazing. They were welcoming people who made my wife very comfortable in the end.”
Rob and Jayden are working on trying to navigate life as they now know it.
“We are trying to understand how this happened,” said Rob. “Our lives were flipped upside down overnight. We are trying to honour her by doing the things she loved.”
This includes activities like being at the lake, travelling, camping, and watching Winnipeg Jets games.
HEALTH & Seniors
“We don’t know what the future looks like at this point, but we have no choice but to move on,” continued Rob. “We will never forget her. She will always be my wife, my first and last love.”
At 14, Jayden now must navigate the rest of his life without his mum.
“Losing his mom at a young age has taken a toll on his mental health as well,” said Rob. Rob and Jayden hope to use their experience to help anyone who may go through something similar in the future.
“People have heard the term brain cancer, but before this, I had never heard the word Glioblastoma,” said Rob. “If people feel some of the symptoms that I mentioned, get immediate help.”
“I want to make people aware (of Glioblastoma). If we can help one person to make an experience
like this a little better, that’s what we want to do. We want to bring light to this nightmare we went through,” continued Rob.
Although Rob acknowledges the immense pressure those who work in the healthcare field are under, he also urges those reading to always advocate for themselves.
“I want people to know if you are not feeling good with a headache, dizziness, or confusion, push for a CT or MRI and don’t take no for an answer,” said Rob.
“We pushed, I advocated for my wife for hours for them to do a CT which they didn’t want to do. I’m assuming because it costs money, CTs are expensive but in a situation, like hers, no is not an option. You have to push. Had we gotten things done faster, yes, it was terminal cancer, but we would have been on top of it sooner.”
An intentional accident in Carnduff
By Paul Kimball
If you happened to be driving by Carnduff on April 26th, you might have been horrified at the scene that met your eyes. You would have seen an overturned bus, bodies littering the ground, and several emergency vehicles.
But it was not as bad as it looked, thankfully. It was a staged exercise for the purpose of providing training for emergency responders working in Carnduff, Carievale, Gainsborough and Oxbow.
Randy Spencer, a Carnduff firefighter and training instructor, coordinated the mock accident. It was his desire to further train responders in the unlikely, unhoped-for possibility of a mass casualty incident. A school bus accident was easier to prepare for than a mass shooting or a plane crash.
For two weeks, he arranged all the details, keeping it as secret as he could. He enlisted 15
students aged seven to 17 as the ‘victims’. They were ‘injured’ to varying degrees – from minor injuries and trauma all the way to fatalities. He notified the emergency responders that something would be taking place on April 26th, but
NOTICE OF PREPARATION OF 2025 ASSESSMENT ROLL –VILLAGE of FORGET
Notice is hereby given that the Assessment Roll for the Village of Forget for the year 2025 has been prepared and is open to inspection in the office of the Assessor from 10 A.M. to 12 P.M. and 1 P.M. to 3 P.M. on the following days: Tuesday to Thursday, May 15, 2025 to July 16, 2025
A Bylaw pursuant to Section 214 of the Municipalities Act has been passed and The Assessment Notices have been sent as required.
Any person who wishes to appeal his or her assessment is required to file his or her Notice of Appeal with Nicole Hoskins, The Secretary of the Board of Revision, Box 149, Meota, Sask. S0M 1X0 by the 16th day of July, 2025.
Dated this 7th day of May, 2025.
Z Slater, Assessor 639-455-7575 forget@sasktel.net
that was all the notice they were given. He wanted the exercise to be as much of a surprise as possible so that the workers couldn’t prepare for the specifics. He also informed businesses in the area of what was going on to prevent unnecessary alarm.
Then came the day of the ‘accident’. Twenty firefighters with their trucks arrived at the scene along with eight EMT’s with three ambulances and two RCMP
members with two vehicles. From the moment of the alert to making sure that all needs had been attended to, only 77 minutes had passed. That’s pretty remarkable considering that some responders had to come from as far as 20 minutes away.
The ‘accident’ was very realistic, including the rubberneckers who stopped by to take a few pictures.
Spencer, having planned the event, felt that it was best not to participate as a firefighter. Instead, he observed the whole exercise and in a debriefing that took place when all was finished, took time to reinforce the good that had been done and pointed out things that perhaps could have been done better. He also expressed that one is never fully prepared for this type of accident in real life, as there is no such thing as a cookie-cutter mass casualty incident. No two are alike.
As the training in-

structor, Spencer felt “that the day went really good.” He also added that he was “super proud of everyone.”

Emergency Measures Organization is a vital part of Stoughton and area communities
By Stephanie Zoer
Stoughton and area communities held their second annual Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) barbecue on May 5 at the Stoughton Tecumseh Fire Hall.
Just like last year, the barbecue was to be held at the Green Space on Main Street in Stoughton, but the winds were so strong that day it was moved to the fire hall.
This did not stop 80 people from coming out and enjoying a delicious burger or two.
The fire and rescue trucks were parked outside alongside the ambulance, and this gave young children the opportunity to hear the siren and look inside the new fire truck that was purchased last year.
EMO is a vital part of Stoughton, the Villages of Heward and Forget, and the R.M. of Tecumseh.
They hold three meetings a year to discuss important issues on how to handle an emergency if one should arise.
Shirley Coderre, the organizer and a Stoughton Town council member, has been on the committee for several
years, and she has put a great deal of work into EMO to make sure that everyone understands the importance of their roles in the group.
There are 18 people on the committee and Jade Larose, Stoughton Town clerk, put a binder together with all the important names and phone numbers, and material needed in case of an emergency. She also keeps the binder up to date.
The EMO binder is meticulously put together, with all the phone numbers of health care providers, motels, contractors, food supplies, schools, maps of the areas, veterinarians, and evacua-
Honouring our paramedics
Paramedic Services Week happens every year in May. This year, it takes place from May 18 to 24. It’s a perfect time to thank paramedics, EMTs and the entire EMS workforce for their service and sacrifices on the front lines of the healthcare system. The job of a paramedic isn’t always easy but can be extremely rewarding. Here are four qualities that paramedics must possess.
tion centres that could be used.
An emergency that could involve this group includes a fire heading towards any of the towns, a tornado, power outage during a blizzard or a vehicle accident that involves many injuries.
An emergency act is only invoked after it is determined that the situation is beyond the capacity or the resources of the local EMS to handle.
When a situation comes up that is extreme, the Regional and Provincial EMO authorities should be consulted before a state of emergency is declared.
An emergency declaration is made
Thrive under pressure. Paramedics often work in high-stress, life-or-death situations. Therefore, they must be able to stay calm under pressure to effectively administer treatments and make the best decisions for a patient’s health.
• Communicate effectively. Paramedics must be able to communicate with scared, shocked or stressed patients and their family members to provide life-saving support. Paramedics work in a team and must also be able to effectively communicate with dispatch, nurses and other hospital staff.
• Solve problems quickly. Paramedics must react quickly and efficiently in emergency situations. Therefore, they must possess excellent problem-solving skills to evaluate a patient’s condition and quickly determine the best way to treat them.
by the mayor of the town or the reeve of the R.M. that is affected.
Once an emergency act is put in place it stays for seven days and can be renewed, this is also when funding is released from the government.
In the event of an emergency, the committee will gather at the designated area, which is the R.M. of Tecumseh office building in Stoughton, and all have an assigned job to take care of.
The barbecue that took place was a great social event for many, but it was also to provide them with packages of information on the EMO.
Many volunteers will be needed during an emergency. Jobs could include running water out to fire fighters or bringing warm blankets to a crash site.
Anyone interested in more information on this committee can contact the Stoughton Town office.
One never thinks that something terrible could happen in ones community, but with the anniversary of the Humbolt bus crash that happened six years ago this past April, it is a reminder that EMO is an especially important part of any community.
tuations in which patients are experiencing pain, trauma or suffering. Consequently, they must be empathetic and address the needs of their patients in a sensitive and caring manner.
This Paramedic Services Week, take the time to show your support for the important work paramedics do.

International opportunity for volleyball player Eve Orpiano
By Stephanie Zoer
Eve Orpiano was born and raised in the Philippines, in the city of Manilla until her parents Frances and Yvette Orpiano and two siblings Vigo and Atarah Orpiano immigrated to Canada in 2013.
They moved to Stoughton where the family still remains, and the kids go to school.
Eve graduated from Stoughton Central School in 2022, and now attends Concordia University in Edmonton, taking a fouryear program in psychology. She has just completed her third year.
Eve always had a love for sports and played on many teams throughout her school years, but volleyball always came to the top of the list.
When she moved to Edmonton she joined the Concordia Thunder volleyball team, which is through the university.
The all-women’s team competes against other colleges and universities.
Last October, Eve and her team travelled to Calgary to play in a women’s recreational volleyball tournament.
Little did she know that at this tournament there were scouts looking to draft players for the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) in the Philippines.
Eve’s friends had told her before that she was a particularly good volleyball player, but she never took it seriously.
At the tournament Eve was approached by one of the drafting scouts from the Philippines and asked her to come to the Philippines and try out for the Philippines National Volleyball Team (PNVT).
On Thursday May 8, Eve will travel to Regina and take a flight to Vancouver. From there she will fly to Hong Kong and on to Manilla, in the Philippines.
This will take her over a day to get to her destination, with 16 hours of flying time.
Since this is where Eve was born, she knows the area and she is also a dual citizen, which has made things much easier.
Eve will initially play in the PVL, for the team to which she was drafted. If she is successful, she will then move up and play for the PNVT.
She will sign a one-
year contract to play in the PVL, with the team and sponsors taking care of her housing and expenses.
Her schooling is on pause for the time being.
Eve admits that she is extremely nervous but also excited about this opportunity.
“I never thought I would be scouted out,” said Eve. “I just went to play volleyball.”
Having this opportunity has opened up a whole new world for the 20 year old, one she never dreamed of.
She is not sure yet of what she will do. Europe has a large professional league, much bigger than the Asian league and this is something that she is considering for the future.
If she makes the PNVL, her contract will start right away and she will remain in the Philippines until her contract expires.
If it does not work out for her, Eve will return to Canada and complete her last year of schooling with the hopes of finding a job in Edmonton.

Regular meetings were held in March and April. We decided to have our Achievement Day this year during Carnduff Homecoming in July. We will put a float in the parade. We will serve ice cream at noon, and our Achievement Day will follow. We are going to have some fun classes besides showmanship and judging. Emery Hitches - Cloverbud was the firstplace Record Book winner for the district and won at regionals. Her Record Book moved on to provincials. Our Club went to the Brandon Winter Fair and then to Virden for the Heartland
Virden Youth Judging Clinic, where we judged rabbits, horses, heifers, and sheep. We also went to Redvers to the District Multi Species Judging clinic and judged horses, cattle, sheep and grocery bags. Our Club also attended District Bowling. We have been working on project pages and learning about sheep health and what sheep need for nutrients. We will have a project meeting on hoof trimming, halter breaking and going over judging terms for our sheep. Mrs. Lovell came to our Club, and we made bookmarks or Christmas ornaments out of resin –they turned out nice. Our Club has been very busy.
