CRAIK—Two women appeared in Moose Jaw provincial court last Tuesday to answer to several charges, including fleeing from police and possession of stolen property.
They were caught and charged as a result of a near miss with a member of the Craik RCMP detachment
On Sunday night, at about 10:30 p.m., Nov. 25, a Craik RCMP member was conducting a vehicle stop a in the southbound lanes of Highway 11 near Girvin when a stolen vehicle swerved towards the police SUV. Police estimate the vehicle was travelling at 130 kilometres per hour and it almost hit the Craik RCMP member and the vehicle.
The officer attempted to stop the vehicle, but when it wouldn’t pull over, he did not pursue it.
A short time later RCMP from other detachments spotted the suspect vehicle near Findlater and began pursuing it. The chase ended once a spike belt was deployed near the valley at Lumsden. Three of the vehicle’s tires were deflated. As a result it slowed to about 10 km/h.
At a low speed, a White Butte RCMP vehicle then struck the suspect vehicle’s rear end, bringing the chase to an end.
Two adult females were arrested.
Menyll Ochuschayoo, 24, of Meadow Lake, is charged with assault with a weapon, two counts of flight from police, possession of stolen property over $5,000 and possession of stolen property under $5,000. Twenty-three-year-old Shanee Axelson, of Regina, is charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000 and five counts of possession of stolen property under $5,000.
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Roy Edward Vibert, who left us peacefully surrounded by family and special friends on November 24, 2018 at the age of 88.
Roy Edward Vibert was born on August 29, 1930 in Davidson, Sask. to Edward and Irene Vibert.
He took his schooling in Craik, Sask., elementary and high school, excelling in every grade.
After graduation he began his lifetime work at Craik hardware. He attended Kelsey in Saskatoon and became a renowned first class tinsmith and heating person. In 1975 he purchased the business Brake and Bella Howarth and became sole owner until 1985 when he sold to Aaron and Theresa Obrigewitsch and became semi-retired. He was always on call 24/7 and was the source of some teasing from his family about what nice lady had dropped the goodies off, which he greatly appreciated.
Roy was a good athlete in his younger years and participated in many sports including baseball, curling and golf. There are many trophies to attest to the same.
Roy was greatly respected by all who knew him.
Roy fulfilled every obligation he ever undertook. His word was his bond and everyone knew it. He never uttered a bad word about anyone. From his education to his career, Roy was self-made and self-reliant. He was a proud, hardworking man—a true gentleman. He never hesitated to help anyone.
He received the Craik Citizen of the Year award in 1985.
He also received a clock and plaque as recognition for his time spent at the Craik Museum. Roy spent countless hours at the Craik Museum doing yard work or anything that needed to be attended to.
Roy was the happiest when he was working in his garden or creating his wooden projects. He would donate a wagon that he had made to be raffled yearly, proceeds going to the Craik Museum. Many residents of Craik enjoyed the bounty from his garden!
Roy was a devoted son and made sure that his mother had everything she needed, which allowed her to stay in her home.
He was predeceased by his parents Edward and Irene Vibert, his sister Shirley Christensen and his brother-in-law Charles Abbs. Roy is survived by his sister Audrey Abbs, his niece Donna Musselman (Melvin), his nephew David Abbs, his great-niece Cierra Brittain, his brother-in-law Bill Christensen and his special friends Aaron and Theresa Obrigewitsch and Barb Wright.
Following Roy’s wishes, a private family interment will be held at a later date. Donations may be made to the Craik Museum.
The family extends heartfelt thanks for the professional and compassionate care he received at the Davidson Health Centre and the Royal University Hospital.
