Kelly Dew and his fascinating hobby of restoring vehicles By Gord Paulley Nearly everyone has some sort of hobby. But not everyone has a hobby like Kelly Dew. Dew and his wife Kim have lived in Carlyle since 1996. He is a co-owner of Carlyle R.V. and Leisure and is also the service manager in charge of all mechanical work and repairs. Ever since growing up on a farm near Windthorst, Dew has absolutely loved fixing things, pulling pieces of machinery apart and putting them back together. A couple of decades ago, he started purchasing and repairing old cars, from top to bottom. The results have been simply astounding. Behind his residence, Dew has two garages. The 30-foot by 40-foot “man garage” houses his trophy vehicles, which he proudly displayed to the Observer. The smaller garage is used for tinkering, rebuilding and restoration. The first vehicle that Dew ever restored was a 1975 Chevy truck. With the help of his dad, it was purchased for a couple of loads of barley. It may be noted that all of Dew’s talents, be it mechanical or auto body, are self-taught. He did not attend any trade schools.

In the main garage, Dew showed us his 1968 Chevrolet C10 short box pickup. It has a 502-cubic inch motor and is coloured speedway blue. Dew purchased the truck in 2003 from a private party in North Carolina. It was fully restored from the frame on up, including the engine, in 2013. The next vehicle profiled was a 1968 Laguna Blue Camaro SS. It was purchased from a California owner in 2014 and completely restored in 2021. Everything, including the frame, was rebuilt and houses a 533-c.c. motor. Also in the main garage is a brand new 650-horsepower 2021 Chevy Camaro ZL1. Like all of his vehicles, it is also blue, painted with a shade called riverside blue metallic. Dew decided to treat himself to this beautiful vehicle which was custom ordered from the factory. In the smaller garage, Dew is now restoring a 1965 Chevrolet Corvair. This one is silver blue in color and the motor is housed in the trunk. This is Dew’s main project for 2022 and will likely take a couple of years to complete. It is also obvious to see Dew’s favourite colour. With COVID restrictions

Picture by Gord Paulley lifting daily, Dew looks forward to attending a number of auto shows this summer. “Finally, we will be able to meet and greet one another again this year. I plan on attending the Majestics Car Show in Regina this year and the Super Run show in Brandon. And of course, our own Cornerstone Cruisers event at Kenosee Lake.”

As per their website, Cornerstone Cruisers is a registered non-profit member owned corporation located in southeastern Saskatchewan. It is committed to the restoration, preservation, and appreciation of past, present and future vehicles and enjoy the camaraderie of those that enjoy the same. The Cruisers’ seventh

annual Show and Shine will be held at the Kenosee Lake Beach parking lot on July 9. Concluded Dew, “Everyone has a hobby. Mine is just a little different than most and although very time-consuming, it brings me a lot of joy and personal satisfaction. There is nothing better than restoring old vehicles to their original state.”

Arcola Optimists donate $67,000 to organizations By Gord Paulley The Optimist Club of Arcola invited 50 members and guests to its annual banquet held at the Arcola Royal Canadian Legion Hall. After a supper prepared by Linda Chapman and friends, president Blake Brownridge and Snowmobile Rally chairman Geordan Workman handed out various funds raised from the Jan. 29 snowmobile rally. A total of $24,000 was donated to the Prairie Place Complex. Funds will be used for ongoing improvements and projects. Another $8,000 was presented to the Town of Arcola. These funds are to be used to beautify and upgrade the town’s play park. There was $1,000 that was donated to the Carlyle Foodbank from proceeds earned from the 50/50 draw. The Moose Mountain Snowmobile Club received $3,500. which was given for the use of their groomed snowmobile trails that were utilized during the rally. In addition to the $32,000 raised from the sale of tickets from their lottery licence, local clubs also received back the proceeds that were partnered from

their own sales.

Arcola recreation director Ghislaine Carter thanked the club on behalf of the town. “Thank you to the Optimist Club and all its members for putting on the annual snowmobile rally, which is always a wonderful and well-attended event. The proceeds generated help for so many local clubs, organizations and groups. They give back so much, and for that we are truly grateful and cannot thank you enough.” “Thank-you southeastern Saskatchewan for all your support, the business sponsors, our Optimist members, other service clubs, snowmobile participants, and of course to you the general public,” said Brownridge. “Every penny from this year’s rally has been donated back to the community and surrounding area.” The Arcola Optimists are already

Sedor family still coping with long COVID By Gord Paulley As the number of cases of the COVID-19 Omicron variant appears to be waning, the lasting effects of long COVID will remain in the news for a very long time. A local Carlyle family, Tim and Jenn Sedor, spoke of their experiences with long COVID. Tim is employed by the South East Cornerstone Public School Division as a facilities technician. Jenn wears many hats and is both the town librarian and Cornerstone Family and Youth co-ordinator. She has been on town council since 2012 and has been Carlyle’s mayor since 2020. The Sedors have three children, Lily, 14, Tayo, 12, and June, 3. They have lived in Carlyle since 2005. The Sedors provided the Observer with an emotional and personal story on their ongoing battles with COVID-19 and the lingering effects of long COVID. These are Jenn Sedor’s own comments. “In April of 2021, my entire family was infected with the Alpha variant of COVID-19. Vaccination wasn’t yet a possibility for our age groups. From the first notification of exposure to the last infectious period of the disease in our household, was a total of 31 days. “My youngest daughter, (then aged two) came down with nothing but a few sneezes and sniffles. My two older kids (then ages 13 and 11 and who both became ill much later in the quarantine period) came down with moderate flu-like symptoms.

“I suffered severe bronchitis, extreme fatigue, mental fog and of course the loss of my taste and smell. Tim, my husband, had the same symptoms as myself plus an uncontrollable fever and COVID pneumonia in his lower left lung. At one point in our illness, while Tim was unconscious, not waking, chest rattling, I could picture him in hospital hooked to machines. “It was scary, but we were lucky to be able to access the right care and treatment before Tim’s symptoms reached a critical point. “While in quarantine our family relied on the kindness of extended family, neighbours and community members. Groceries, meals, medication, mail and even Slurpees were delivered to our door. We are still humbled and grateful to all that helped.” “Even at the point where our household was considered ‘recovered’ from COVID-19 we were all still feeling very sick. Energy to do routine activities was at an all-time low, cognition of simple tasks was difficult. Breathing was harder, anxiety attacks, blood pressure and heart rate changes – fatigue was impossible to shake. Tim came home from work after his first few days complaining of leg pain that turned out to be a COVID-related blood clot. My hair fell out for months. It just seemed to drag on and on. “Now, 10 months post infection, my husband and I are considered ‘long-haulers’ still battling a variety of symptoms that can both improve and flare up at a moment's notice. The brain fog has

Members of the Sedor family were diagnosed with COVID-19 last April. Husband and wife Tim and Jenn Sedor continue to deal with long COVID. Photo submitted by Jenn Sedor been bad for both of us. Like some strange combination of temporary dementia and attention deficit. Thankfully, this does seem to be improving. “I struggle with joint pain. More than just sore – for months I was unable to dress myself and I have a new appreciation for slipon shoes. I have since been diagnosed with a post viral auto-immune type arthritis that may resolve in time. Until then I move with all the vigour of someone much older than I should be. “Our healthcare providers have been great supporters, but unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of answers

yet. Until then life revolves around managing symptoms, followup appointments, a few important lifestyle changes, sleep, and hoping for the best. But it sucks. “I turned to an online support group to connect with others who are struggling with a whole spectrum of different symptoms of acute and long COVID. It has been very helpful in knowing that these symptoms are common – and – in many cases are resolving. I hope that if there are others in the area that are struggling with similar symptoms after COVID to reach out and connect. Perhaps there are ways we can support

community and continue to remain upbeat and positive. Jenn concluded the interview with this observation, “Health wise, it has been a trying year. But family wise, it has made us stronger. Our family is more connected to each other, we are really appreciating the little things in life, and all of us can see the shining light at the end of the tunnel. We are ready to take on 2022.”

Love ceases to be a pleasure when it ceases to be a secret. - Aphra Behn

Time to get serious about a crisis By Murray Mandryk The problem with the ever-so-serious business of governance is that far too many see it as less of a priority than the fun and games of politics. Governing is serious business, often requiring tough choices. Politics? Well there’s a reason why they call it “playing” politics. As we emerge from this two-year pandemic into a war in Europe with devastating human and economic consequences, there seems little time for games. Sadly, history might yet compare this period we are now in to the one more than 80 years ago when we were emerging from a global depression into a world war. Thankfully, we aren’t at the crisis level yet. Hopefully, this isn’t where we are headed. Hopefully, things will be resolved long before we get there. But as it stands right now, the political games we get to play when things are going well in society aren’t really a good option for us. Right now, it’s about getting down and dealing with some serious issues. The good news is the opening days of the spring sitting — one that took a different, more sober tone — suggest we do have a least some capacity to recognize serious issues and take a serious approach when it comes to dealing with them. On the first day of the spring sitting, each MLA had a blue and yellow Ukrainian flag on their desk — a bold reminder that there are serious matters elsewhere in the world that are beginning to hit pretty close to home. Saskatchewan MLAs immediately went into an emergency debate on the Russian situation that produced a rare unanimous vote of condemnation. Maybe it was little more than a gesture from a small province no more meaningful or effective than pulling Russian vodka from liquor store shelves or offering a rather paltry $100,000 for humanitarian aid to Ukraine. But it’s thousands of such small gestures from all around the world that hold up hope for a quick and peaceful end to this crisis through a combination of economic sanctions and condemnations. Also, it’s no small deal that Saskatchewan is committing to bringing in “thousands” of Ukrainian refuges, regardless of their skill sets or economic status. Similarly, credit the Saskatchewan Party government and Premier Scott Moe for offering some serious thoughts on how this struggle is already affecting Saskatchewan residents. Noting the dramatic rise in pump prices, NDP economy critic Trent Wotherspoon proposed the government lift the province’s 15-cent-a-litre gasoline tax as Alberta is now doing. The gas tax is providing $478 million for Saskatchewan government coffers this year. It was an odd position for the Saskatchewan NDP to take and not just because it was siding with Alberta conservatives. This is an opposition that has criticized the Sask. Party administration for deficit budgeting and debt. It’s also complained about not enough money for health and social programs. To Moe’s credit, he made the point that revenue is needed to address problems. And he further made the point that the world needs secure energy supplies from places like Saskatchewan so we don’t have to rely on Russia. We don’t always get that in a world where politicians see politics as to of a game. This was the problem with the trucker convey and border blockades — people who thought they had serious issues about their “freedoms” being infringed upon. Right now, there seems little time for such games.

The smartest people we know

Shelley Luedtke I lived in a small town for my high school years. There were only 25 students in my graduating class so it was easy to keep track of where we ranked amongst the others. There were two girls who were consistently at the top of the class, and another three or four students that jockeyed for the next positions. There should have been one more. He was a big guy who came by the nickname Chewbacca easily. He was kind-hearted, fun loving and personable. He was also smart. Very smart. But I’m not convinced many knew just how bright he was. “Chewy” never took books home. I don’t recall seeing him take notes. But no matter the class, he always did well. He was never at the top. That would have required work and no matter the encouragement, he refused to put in more than a few minutes here or there.

He was doing fine and that was good enough for him. He was never part of the conversations that would have given him awards or scholarships, but he had an amazing mind and is one of the more interesting people I’ve had deeper conversations with. It is said that the best leaders surround themselves with people who are smarter than themselves. But determining who belongs in that circle could be difficult to discern. How do you rate someone’s intelligence? Is it the postsecondary degrees hanging on the wall? How well-spoken and eloquent someone is? Their IQ? That last factor has long been up for debate because of the limitations presented by trying to test intelligence. Nonetheless, IQ is often the standard used to determine intelligence, and is the doorway into Mensa, the largest and oldest society of those with the highest IQs. So where are all these geniuses living? According to Mensa, the country with the highest number per capita is Finland, followed by Sweden and the United Kingdom. Canada is not in the top 10. If we use the standards established by Mensa, it means two per cent of the people we share the planet with are defined as geniuses. So

Report from the Saskatchewan legislature Submitted by Darryl Harrison As the world watches the unprovoked attack instigated by the Vladimir Putin regime unfold in Ukraine, the Government of Saskatchewan stands with our friends, family and neighbours, both at home and abroad. Throughout Saskatchewan, communities are coming together to show that we stand with Ukraine. Our government has donated $100,000 to support humanitarian efforts on the ground. SaskTel has waived longdistance and text messaging fees from Canada to Ukraine to assist families in reaching one another.

We are also working with post-secondary institutions to determine the impact on our international students. The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority has delisted Russian products from the distribution centre and retail stores, with private retailers being encouraged to do the same. Our government is committed to supporting those from Ukraine who are fleeing the brutal attacks through funding for community support co-ordination, including settlement services for Ukrainian families arriving in Saskatchewan. The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program is pri-

oritizing any applications received from Ukrainian citizens. We are committed to ensuring Ukrainian newcomers are welcomed into our communities, with long-term successful resettlement in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan has become known as a welcoming and vibrant place for newcomers to Canada. The Government of Saskatchewan will assist our new neighbours in putting down roots to find success. Funding of $638,000 has been committed to the Bridging to Employment program currently offered in Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert. This 20-week pro-

gram, split between inclass learning and on-thejob paid work experience, focuses on communication, job readiness and digital literacy skills. Support is also available to residents trying to reach new job goals while rejoining the labour market. The Government of Saskatchewan has announced $2.2 million for the Training Voucher Program to make retraining affordable and accessible. Various sectors are being targeted to help drive Saskatch-

ewan's economic growth, including information technology, professional truck drivers, healthcare, and the hospitality industry. An incredible amount of work by volunteers around the province returned to our airwaves. TeleMiracle, a rooted in Saskatchewan fundraiser, has touched thousands of lives thanks to the organizing committee's efforts. The event stretches out further than just that dedicated group, as communities across the province rally together for

bake sales, charity events, auctions and grassroots fundraisers. The fabulous showing of what it means to be from Saskatchewan supports the Kinsmen Foundation in their efforts to make life better. The foundation provides specialized mobility and medical equipment to people and organizations within our great province. Thank you to the organizers, volunteers and all those who have supported TeleMiracle over the years.

Carlyle RCMP report - thefts and driving infractions Submitted by Sgt. Dallyn Holmstrom The Carlyle RCMP was busy conducting traffic stops this week, issuing 56 tickets for speeding, inadequate lights and failing to have a driver’s licence, to name a few. The most expensive tickets this week were for driving a vehicle while holding, viewing, using or manipulating a cellphone, with a fine coming in at $580. The highest ticket of the week for speeding was $300 for travelling 135 kilometres an hour in a 100 zone on Highway 9. On March 1, RCMP received a call from an upset female from Arcola, who reported that two large dogs have been continuously urinating and defecating on her property. The owner does not clean up after them. Unfortunately, much to the female caller’s dismay, RCMP had to direct her to call the Town of Arcola to report the dogs. On March 2, RCMP was called to the Carlyle Post Office due to a highly intoxicated male needing an ambulance. The RCMP attended and found the male sitting on the floor with dried blood on his chin. RCMP attempted to have a conversation with him

but were unable to communicate with him effectively because he was confused and highly intoxicated. He was transported to hospital to be assessed. That same day, a female attended the RCMP detachment to report that snowmobilers continuously ride in her field near Manor without her permission. When they do this, it pushes the deer into her yard and they have been damaging her trees and property. The snowmobilers are not her neighbours and she has not given them permission to ride on her property. You need permission to ride a snowmobile or enter on to anyone’s property whether it’s posted or not. A concerned mother called the RCMP on March 2, stating that she received a message from her daughter, who had advised she was a passenger in a vehicle with an intoxicated driver. RCMP made patrols to try and locate the impaired driver, but when they eventually located the vehicle it was parked at a residence. I know this should go without saying, but please do not get into a vehicle with a driver who is impaired. On March 3, Carlyle RCMP were dispatched to a two-vehicle collision on

Highway 13 near Redvers. The collision occurred when an adult female driving a black Chevrolet Cobalt attempted to pass a white Ford Crown Victoria while it was turning left off the highway. The black Cobalt made contact with the front end of the Crown Victoria while it was turning. Several witnesses stopped and stated that they had observed the Cobalt driving erratically. Not only did the driver of the Cobalt cause this collision by passing when unsafe, but the driver also had a suspended driver’s licence, was driving an unregistered vehicle, wasn’t wearing her seatbelt and had a warrant for her arrest. I’m not a ball player but that’s a lot of strikes for one person. The driver of the Cobalt was issued several fines for the incident and was arrested for her warrant. Luckily nobody was seriously injured in this collision. Also on March 3, RCMP received a call advising that a dump truck had knocked down a power pole near Manor School. The incident happened when the dump truck driver’s coat got hooked on the dump box switch and lifted the box.

An Integrity Maintenance truck was reported stolen on March 7. Photo courtesy of the Carlyle RCMP When the box hooked on the power lines it caused the power pole to break. No one on injured during this collision and SaskPower was able to attend and fix the power pole and lines. It’s always fortunate when no one gets charged after dealing with power lines. On March 4, RCMP received a call of an intoxicated male passed out on Highway 9 near White Bear. RCMP attended and located the adult male on the highway. The male was arrested and given a safe warm spot to sober up in Carlyle jail. That same day, RCMP received a call from a male from Antler stating he had been scammed out of $43,000 through online cryptocurrency. The details of this crime are still being

investigated but I want to remind everyone to please use extreme caution when investing online. On March 7th, RCMP received a report of a Ford F550 truck being stolen from the service lot of Merit Ford in Carlyle. The truck was left in the service lot on March 4 and was reported stolen when it wasn’t there after the weekend. The truck was owned by Integrity Maintenance Ltd., and was truck number 35. Carlyle RCMP is requesting anyone with information about this incident to contact the RCMP by calling 306-453-6707. Information can be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-8477 or submitting a tip online at www. saskcrimestoppers.com

He is survived by his sister-in-law Lucille; siblings: Aurele (Margaret), Angela (Louis), Rosella (Joe), Anne, Marielle (Jerome), Charles (Linda), Lorette (Frank), Dianne, Ed (Lorna) and Michel (Helen).

Alida news - an upcoming auction Submitted by Edel Cowan The Sunday breakfast held on March 6 saw 45 breakfasts sold by Kitchen Group 4. Next Sunday will have Kitchen Group 1 at the helm. It will be their last chance to defeat the Breakfast Challenge record of 49. There are only three more breakfasts left to be held at the rink this year. Hope to see you there. The Alida recreation board has decided they will hold another fundraiser to help keep our rink, pool and hall running smoothly as they

continue going forward. They had a great success with an online auction last year, so they want to do it again this year. This year’s online auction is planned for April 8-10. Donations will be graciously accepted from now until April 3 and may be dropped off at the Alida Post Office or given to a board member (Lesa Bendtsen, Leanne Dubuc, Cheryl Harrison, Shandi Boutin, Margaret Peet, Shanna Carriere, Shelly Cowan pr Teresa Lemieux). The auction items will be found on the Alida Recreation Facebook page. If you have any

questions, contact one of the board members. In advance they wish to extend their appreciation that everyone continues to support their fundraisers. Hope you got a chance to watch Telemiracle last Saturday and Sunday. They raised over $8 million this year. Way to go, another success for the organization. Until next time, please remember to contact me by phone at 306-443-2496, text 306-4858561 or e-mail g.cowan@sasktel. net with your news. I do appreciate your assistance. Stay safe and stay warm.

Maryfield Sunrise Villa happenings Submitted by Betty Walker We are seeing some better temperatures and sunshine but some more snow. I look at the snow on the roof and in the courtyard and I think of the wonderful moisture it will give our parched earth. After two days of Bingo, I gleamed a few nickels but even if I lose I feel good as our donation went to Telemiracle. Our contribution totalled $178.75 for Telemiracle 46 this year. The staff and visi-

tors are recommended to continue to mask in the common areas of the villa. We are still taking it slow and cautious and I agree with the decision. We have waited all this time and a little while longer won't matter. We also had a choice to receive a second booster the other day. Clifford Wilson has moved to long-term care in Moosomin. We will miss him but received a new resident on the weekend, Colin Moore. Welcome to our villa family. We hope you

enjoy your stay and he is also a card player so that's good, too. We had a singalong with Judy at piano and popcorn and a movie on Friday night. We were happy to

New beginnings in the spring By Stephanie Zoer March can be an unpredictable month, not only with the weather conditions but also our moods. Last week Old Man Winter has reminded us that the anticipated spring is not here, just yet. This week once again we were in winter conditions. I am sure our farmers are enjoying all the moisture the snow brings, if we do not receive gale force winds, sending all that moisture into the tree lines. The snow is also great for the persons that blow snow in oil leases, as the past several years, there was very little white stuff to keep them busy. Two years ago, March once again proved to be a month with uncontrolled conditions. It would be our last week of normal. At the time, I was working in a grocery store, and I had no idea what was happening in the world. Panic overtook many people, loading shopping carts with our much-needed supplies, cleaning off the shelves in fear of nothing remaining. Months later, mask where to be worn in public and lockdowns began to flatten the curve. These lockdowns were to slow down the virus, but it created a lot of depression and anxiety in many. On Feb. 28, our mask mandates were lifted. How did this one act affect us? Did it cause more fear, as now we seem to be naked going into a store, or was it a large relief? For myself, it was

a great relief. Not because I am against masks, not at all, it is that I have hearing loss. I am completely deaf in my left ear and have only 70 per cent left in my right ear. I no longer could read lips, and everything had a muffled sound with a mask on. We needed to stay six feet away, so getting close to someone to hear them was also impossible. This mandate attributed a great deal to my anxiety. How did I cope? I began to not have conversations when I was out and about, unless I really knew the person. I prayed that people would not talk to me, and if they did, I would nod and quickly walk away as it was the simplest thing to do. I am a very outgoing person, I love to chat with others, but this one act changed me. My anxiety went through the roof. It seems fitting

that this is a health and wellness special, as we have a lot of healing to do to overcome the past two years. The struggles are real for many people. At home it was much different. I can only speak on how things helped me to control my heart pounding in my chest. We, as a family, began to play the game Uno. We have our own crazy messed up rules, nevertheless, it occupied the mind and the laugh-

ter was real when our daughter would once again win. How she does it, we are still trying to figure this out. One simple act has given so much satisfaction and help control my anxiety. Playing music is another great way to enjoy the day. I play upbeat music when I feel an attack coming on. I will sing along and even start dancing. Truck dancing is the best, and my daughter seems to think I am crazy, but the end result is to con-
