CARLYLE - For the first time in three years, Canada Day festivities were back in full force, with lots of celebrations and events.
The Carlyle RCMP and the Saskatchewan conservation officers teamed up during the weekend, and targeted boaters at Moose Mountain Provincial Park to ensure people were complying with the laws, as well and making sure everyone was as safe as possible. Believe it or not, some people actually believe that it is okay to consume and possess liquor or cannabis on a boat.
The only type of boat that alcohol or cannabis can be consumed on is a houseboat, and even with houseboats they must be moored or anchored permanently on a shore for the activity to be legal.
Officers checked 14 boats for consuming alcohol and fishery reasons. A total of 25 warnings and fines were given out during the course of the weekend on the water.
There were 32 speeding tickets handed out this week in the area, with the highest ticket of the week going to a male going 125 kilometres per hour in a 90 km/h zone. The male received a $300 fine.
On June 25, the RCMP received a report that a white Jeep pulled into the driveway at House 56 on White Bear First Nations and hit a parked vehicle on the driver’s side. Carlyle RCMP is requesting anyone with information about this incident to contact the Carlyle RCMP by calling 306-453-6707. Information can be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submitting a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
On June 27, the RCMP received a call of an intoxicated male dressed in black, urinating on the side of Highway 13 near Carlyle. No vehicles were observed near the intoxicated person. RCMP attended the area but they were unable to locate the subject.
On June 28, the RCMP received a report from the Wawota Fire Department, advising that an old fuel truck caught fire in the RM of Wawken. The fire chief believed that the fire was caused by the battery shorting out. Luckily the fire department was close and was able to contain the fire.
Also that day, the RCMP received a report from a CP Rail engineer who advised that four teenagers were playing near the railway tracks in Carlyle. The teenagers were throwing rocks at the train and touching the cars. The engineer had to use the emergency brakes to stop the train and he was worried about the teenagers getting under the train.
Officers attended and determined the teenagers who were responsible. The teenagers admitted they were touching cars on the train and were warned about the dangers as well as possible fines. Sometimes common sense isn’t very common, but please take this time to talk to your kids about the dangers of playing near the train tracks.
Also on June 28, the RCMP received a report of a big fight taking place at a party outside a residence at White Bear. Members attended and found occupants of the residence highly intoxicated, along with blood on the ground outside the residence. Members confirmed that no one was injured at the residence but determined who the injured person was.
The RCMP then located the injured person who had gone home and went to sleep. RCMP checked and ensured he was okay.
On June 29, RCMP responded to a male on Highway 13 that was attempting to run in front of vehicles on the highway. The male was attempting to run in front of vehicles coming from both directions in what appeared to be a suicide attempt. Fortunately, the RCMP members were able to locate the intoxicated male and get him the help he needed before he was seriously injured.
I debated if I should put this in the paper this week, but I feel this gives people a true representation of the state a lot people’s mental health is in right now. Please reach out to those people in your lives you feel may need help right now.
On July 1, RCMP responded to a complaint of an intoxicated female consistently ringing the doorbell at a residence on White Bear First Nations. RCMP attended and located the female who agreed to leave and go to her mother’s house.

On July 1, RCMP received a call from White Bear Resort, advising that an intoxicated male was walking around private cabins and yards. RCMP attended, located and arrested the intoxicated male for 小蓝视频 intoxicated in public. The male received a free holiday stay at the RCMP Bed and Breakfast and was released the next morning when he was sober.
On July 2, RCMP were called to a tenant dispute, which normally the RCMP does not get involved with due to the disagreements usually 小蓝视频 civil in nature. However, in this case two evicted persons were intoxicated and threatening the homeowner. The tenants were arrested for 小蓝视频 intoxicated in pubic as well as to prevent the continuation and escalation of an offence. The two tenants received a short stay at the RCMP Bed and Breakfast until they were sober.
No complaints this week involving “the cows”. Either they are running scared or they are taking their time to plan their next mooooove.
It’s okay not to be okay!
I want to ensure that if someone needs help the Suicide Prevention Line is always available in the paper for them. We want to encourage everyone to reach out for help and talk to someone if they can. No matter how bad things may seem, remember that they can always get better. Life can be very difficult to say the least.
Please reach out and check in with friends, co-workers, and family to see how they are doing. It’s a perfectly normal question to ask people how they are doing. Don’t let people suffer in silence. If you see someone that you believe needs some help but won’t accept help from you, please let the police or their family know.
In Saskatchewan you can call/text the mental health crisis line at 2-1-1 Counselling Connect Saskatchewan or the Canadian Mental Health Association 1-306-384-9333.
Police joke:
One fire truck and 20 cops show up to a call. What happened?
Tim Hortons burnt down.
Have a great week and stay safe.
