Tenille Arts recognized as CCMA’s ‘Rising Star’ Weyburn’s own Tenille Arts started the week with news her current single, “Everybody Knows Everybody,” hit the Top 30 in Canada, and ended the week winning the Rising Star award at the 38th Annual Canadian Country Music Association Awards on Sunday night. A stunned Tenille was presented the trophy as she was about to introduce Lindsay Ell’s performance during a taped segment in Nashville. “It is such an honour to take home the Rising Star Award,” said Tenille. “I just can’t believe this. I look at the list of Rising Star nominees, and we’ve all worked really hard for a lot of years. I started coming to the CCMA Awards when I was 17 just to experience it. I’m so excited about the community of country music in Canada, and I can’t thank everyone
enough for voting for me.” The official music video for “Everybody Knows Everybody”, which was written by Tenille, with Alex Kline and Allison Veltz, was released on Monday, the morning after her big award win. The upbeat song is included on her “Love, Heartbreak, & Everything In Between” album on 19th & Grand Records, which had also been nominated as the Album of the Year at the CCMAs. Tenille’s “Somebody Like That” single, which she also wrote with Alex Kline and Allison Veltz, hit No. 27 Mediabase and No. 28 Billboard in the U.S. this week. The song spent three weeks atop the Radio Disney Country Chart and netted her Songwriter of the Year at May’s Saskatchewan Country Music Awards. Tenille made her first
appearance on the ABCTV show, “The Bachelor”, in January 2018 singing her original song “Moment of Weakness.” She made her second appearance on the show in January of 2019 performing “I Hate This.” The song hit No. 1 on both the U.S. and Canadian iTunes Country Charts and No. 9 U.S. iTunes all-genre following the episode. Her unprecedented third appearance on “The Bachelor” preceded the release of her new album “Love, Heartbreak, & Everything In Between” in January of this year. Tenille made her Grand Ole Opry debut on September 21, 2019 and performed at the Grand Ole Opry at the historic Ryman Auditorium on January 3, 2020. National television appearances include the TODAY Show, the Radio Disney Music Awards and singing the Canadian National Anthem at game 3 of the 2019 NBA finals and at the 2020 NBA All-Star Game in February.

By Greg Nikkel The first phase of new accessible playground equipment was installed at St. Michael School on Monday and Tuesday, with volunteers from the Young Fellows Club and Knights of Columbus on hand to help. Project lead Deanna Schwindt said this is the first of three phases, with each phase to be done as the funds are raised. A total of $73,000 was raised for the first phase, which includes equipment and concrete, which was poured late Tuesday. Phase 2 will be some extra free-standing pieces of equipment, and phase
3 will be an installation of paved rubber underneath all of the equipment. “My goal for Phase 2 is the end of 2022, and for Phase 3, the end of 2023,” said Schwindt. “I’d like to have it done sooner if possible.” They have applied for grants to hopefully speed up the process and get all of the phases done as soon as possible. Other than the grant applications, “we haven’t really begun fundraising for this school year because of COVID. This year, we haven’t been able to do some of the projects that we had in-
tended to do,” said Schwindt, adding that the Lions Club is trying to raise funds for the project as well. Members of the Young Fellows were on the site all day Monday and Tuesday, and volunteers from the Knights of Columbus were also there Tuesday. “Young Fellows are helping us put it together, and are providing lunch for the next two days if we need it,” said Schwindt. Contributors to the playground project included the St. Michael School Community Council, Holy Family School Division, Knights
of Columbus, the St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Women’s League, along with service organizations like the Weyburn Rotary Club, Young Fellows Club and the Lions Club, the Kinsmen Foundation’s TeleMiracle, along with Vincent and Olga Van Staveren, plus Schwindt’s mom provided pizza for lunch for the work crew from Pumpjack’s. Businesses that contributed included Weyburn Credit Union, Western Financial, Walmart, Goliath Disposal, Dart Services, Whitecap Resources and A&B Concrete.
