Assiniboia Family Centre is ‘dream long time coming’ The grand opening of the Assiniboia Family Centre took place on November 20 with a ribbon cutting, snacks and the pitter patter of little feet. “The Kids First program started in 1999,” Jill Zahariuk stated. “It was a dream of mine to have a family centre.” Her dream was a long time coming but it finally came true on November 20 which was also National Children’s Day. The day began with children arriving with their parents and settling in to play. The centre’s board members and special guests like Cst. Mark Dijkstra also attended. Mayor Bob Himbeault cut the ribbon to open the Family Centre assisted by children attending that day. As the children played in the toy areas, parents mingled and shared playtime experiences. The Assiniboia Family Centre and Tot Spot Program is a resource centre that aims to offer a comprehensive range of programs. The programs are aimed at enhancing child and family well-being by reducing family isolation, supporting healthy child development and providing information to support positive parenting. In the programs, children will be able to explore art, music and physical recreation. They will have a chance to enhance their language, literacy, numeracy and social development as well as engage in other activities that encourage development of gross motor skills. Currently, the centre focuses on the early years by moving the Tot Spot program into the centre. In time, the centre’s board looks to expand programming and services to include a variety of age groups. Continued on Page 4

McCord stock dogs win championships Wendy Schmaltz and her border collies Ky and Kelly swept the podium at the International Stock Dog Championships taking place on November 23 as part of the week-long Canadian Western Agribition in Regina. Schmaltz, who is from McCord, had two border collies entered in the championships. Ky took first place and Kelly placed second. In the photo, Schmaltz and Ky accept the buckle for first place. The championships always attract a huge crowd to Brandt Centre where stock dog handlers use a system of whistlers or commands to guide their border collies. The handlers stand on a fixed spot while the dogs control three sheep, following a set pattern around barrels

and through gates. They have four minutes to complete the course. The sheep are often less than cooperative making the course a challenge. Schmatlz’s stock dogs competed against a highly competitive field of 39 dogs. For example, last year’s champion, Milton Scott and his border collie Josie from Airdrie, returned to try to recapture the championship. Each dog competed in two runs and the top five handlers and stock dogs moved on to a final. Schmaltz ranked in first place and fourth going into the final. The final included additional patterns to complete in the allotted time. For more on the Canadian Western Agribition, see Pages 18 and 19.

Agriculture Feeder steer prices mixed as markets slow A total of 52,216 head of cattle were sold in Saskatchewan for the week ending November 17. This number is down from 53,665 head sold the previous reporting week, but up from 35,119 head the same week a year ago.

The Assiniboia Livestock Auction held a pre-sorted Angus-Angus cross calf sale on November 25 with 2,335 head sold. There were nine categories of steer calves and yearlings and eight categories of heifer calves and yearlings up for sale. Steer calves in the weight category of 300 to 400 lbs. dropped to average $2.51 per lb. and sold up to $2.74 per lb. Those weighing between 400 and 450 lbs. averaged $2.42 per lb., selling up to $2.62 per lb.

in the U.S. was reported at US$119.35 per cwt, down US$3.36 per cwt or 2.7 per cent from US$122.71 per cwt the previous week, but up 10.6 per cent from US$107.91 per cwt the same week a year ago. The dressed (delivered basis) price for U.S. steers delivered to plants in the 5-area was reported at US$189.31 per cwt, down US$2.31 per cwt from US$191.62 per cwt the previous week. This was up 11.4 per cent from US$169.92 per cwt the same week a year ago. The United States Department of Agriculture’s Cattle on Feed Report indicated that the number of cattle placed on feed in October 2017 was 2.393 million head, up just over 10 per cent from 2.171 million head in October 2016. This is an increase of over 11 per cent from 2.150 million head placed in September 2017. The number of fed cattle marketed in October 2017 was 1.801 million head, up 5.6 per cent from 1.705 million head in October 2016. This is also an increase of one per cent from 1.783 million head marketed in September 2017. The October 2017 cattle placements were 110.2 per cent of the October 2016 numbers which were over three per cent higher than the average trade estimates (107.1 per cent). The cattle marketed in October 2017 were 105.6 per cent of the October 2016 numbers, which was slightly higher than the average trade estimates (105.4 per cent). The USDA cattle on feed numbers for
November 1 were 11.332 million head, which is 6.3 per cent above the November 2016 inventory numbers of 10.665 million head, and almost five per cent above the October 2017 numbers. The USDA yearover-year numbers were 106.3 per cent, less than one per cent higher than the average trade estimates (105.7 per cent). The November cattle inventory numbers were the highest inventory levels in almost five years since December 2012. The USDA numbers were close to trade estimates except the cattle placed in October, which was over three per cent higher than the average trade estimates. The cattle numbers will likely be viewed as negative for cattle markets with the higher October placement numbers and higher cattle in feedlots indicating increases in future cattle marketing numbers. Beef production for the week was estimated at 528.2 million lbs., up 2.8 per cent from 513.9 million lbs. the previous week, but down 0.4 per cent from 530.1 million lbs. the same week a year ago. Cattle slaughtered over the week were estimated at 639,000 head, up 2.6 per cent from 623,000 head the previous week, and up 1.6 per cent from 629,000 head the same week a year ago. U.S. choice beef cutout prices (600-900 lbs.) averaged US$210.22 per cwt over the week, down US$2.37 per cwt or 1.1 per cent from US$212.59 per cwt the previous week, but up 14.6 per cent from US$182.98 per cwt the same week a year ago.

Government announced $1 billion in CAP funding The Canadian Western Agribition was so popular this year that Federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Lawrence MacAulay used it as a backdrop on November 24 to announce initiatives and priorities for the $1 billion federal investment under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, which is set to launch on April 1, 2018. “This is an exciting new chapter for agriculture in Canada,” Minister MacAuley stated. “The Canadian Agricultural Partnership’s federal initiatives show our Government’s strong agenda for growth in agriculture and agri-food – one that will help build an even stronger, more innovative and sustainable sector.” The Federal Government has identified agriculture and agri-food as a key growth sector. According to the Agriculture Ministry, farmers and food processors are the backbone of Canada’s economy, particularly in rural communities, ensuring safe, high-quality food for families across Canada, and around the world. “It will ensure Canadian farmers and food processors are well positioned to meet the world’s growing demand for our high-quality products,” said MacAulay about the new CAP investment. Ottawa plans to make targeted investments in the sector with a priority focus on growing trade and expanding markets, innovative and sustainable growth of the sector, and, supporting diversity and a dynamic, evolving sector. To make this happen, the Federal Government has developed six federal programs to support these priorities
and ensure the sector’s long-term prosperity: AgriMarketing, AgriCompetitiveness, AgriScience, AgriInnovate, AgriDiversity and AgriAssurance. In July 2017, federal, provincial and territorial ministers of agriculture reached an agreement on the key elements of the Canadian Agricultural Partnership. CAP is a five-year, $3 billion investment by FPT governments to strengthen Canada’s agriculture and agri-food sector. This agreement is aimed at achieving the Government’s goal to grow the country’s agriculture and food exports to $75 billion by 2025. CAP will include federal programs and activities to expand domestic and international markets to seize key opportunities and address emerging needs, advance science and innovation, with an emphasis on sustainable and clean growth, and better reflect the diversity of communities, enhance collaboration across different jurisdictions and secure and support public trust. Business risk management programs will help producers manage significant risks that threaten the viability of their farm and are beyond their capacity to manage. BRM programs agreed by the agriculture ministers in July 2017 will come into effect for the 2018 program year. The existing program rules remain in effect for the 2016 and 2017 program years. In 2016, Canada’s agriculture and food exports set a new record of over $60 billion. Canadian farmers and food processors export about half of their production by value.

Female hockey is threatened
A
s the year winds down, many columnists begin their “looking back” editorials, while others still have plenty of fodder left dissecting the latest moves by Ottawa and tracking the candidates of two leadership campaigns in Saskatchewan. Lost in the year-end news cycle is the big change coming to female hockey in the province. The Saskatchewan Hockey Association announced Regina and Saskatoon geographic subdivision boundaries for female hockey which would stop young female hockey players from rural areas from playing for city teams. The SHA’s announcement was made several months ago, but facing opposition, it held a consultation period that ran out early in November. With the results in this past week, the SHA reiterated its position to maintain the ban which goes into effect next season. The SHA claims the decision was intended to boost teams in smaller centres. However, parents and rural minor hockey associations disagree. Some oppose the rushed timeline bringing in the changes already next season. Others believe the decision will hurt female hockey in Saskatchewan. Hockey is a predominantly male sport with a whole infrastructure set up to foster young players through tiered ranks with skills camps and training and playing opportunities until they are cherry-picked by NHL teams. Female hockey lagged behind, along with women’s rights, and only gained steam in the 1990s when our national women’s hockey team lit up the international hockey scene winning 10 gold medals at international world hockey championships and four Olympic gold medals since then. Every young female hockey player’s idol was Hayley Wickenheiser, the best female hockey player in the world and the first woman to play full-time professional hockey. The NHL boasts that rural Saskatchewan has produced some of the best players like Brian Trottier from Val Marie. As a young boy, he worked his way through the minor leagues and was eventually spotted by scouts and drafted into Junior Hockey and NHL teams. Not so for Hayley Wickenheiser. When she was growing up in Shaunavon, there were no all-girls teams in a competitive minor league. She started out at age five playing hockey on boys teams until hitting her teens. She had to stop playing in the rural areas at an age when males were only starting to find opportunities at higher levels. A move to Calgary saw Wickenheiser’s career take off. She was fortunate that her parents were able to move to a larger centre. But how many female hockey players in the province do not have this chance? The SHA hasn’t really studied the declining Saskatchewan rural population and what this means for hockey in general. Rural demographics with shrinking towns and large-scale faming already see parents driving their children further and further to take part in sports and other activities. Most small towns in the province can’t really form a rural-only team on their own and rely on small villages, tiny hamlets and farms to fill out their rosters. Females of all ages and skills levels would have to be grouped together, ending the tiered system. StatsCanada reports that females under the age of 18 years living in rural communities all over the province number less than 50,000. Only about half of them would be in the age ranges to play female minor hockey, but very few can make the commitment to play. It is a huge commitment and expense for parents to travel several times a week for practices on top of games. The many hours spent driving could be given to a broad variety of other activities, homework or family time. This commitment also takes parents away from volunteering in the community and attending their own activities. According to the SHA, they want to follow the structure of male hockey, which has a vibrant tiered system and support from the pro leagues. Still, even male hockey programs in rural areas have been suffering from the rural population decline. Many senior mens teams have folded in small town Saskatchewan. The Notekeu League still has competitive teams made up local rural players, but the same can’t be said for junior hockey. The SHA seems not to have considered the impact on urban teams. There are 115 rural female players in hockey in Regina and Saskatoon. A lot of these have exceptional skills. It is notable that two city teams have petitioned the SHA asking them to reconsider or delay implementing the ban. Let’s face it, female hockey is sadly underdeveloped in a province that enjoys at least seven months of winter. While the SHA claims to be committed to female hockey, banning players from participating in teams at the minor sports level sends the wrong message. Right now, Saskatchewan female minor league hockey has not matured to the level of male hockey and it certainly does not enjoy pro team support. Female teams are just starting to become competitive and attract new players, but the SHA’s latest pronouncement could mean that even fewer females get involved in the sport.
Mayors Message for November 2017 A new industry-lead Tire Stewardship of Saskatchewan (TSS), has been approved to manage the tire recycling program for our province. We just reviewed their proposed Product Stewardship Program. They will be phasing in this new program which will create a better environment for recyclers, while putting in place safeguards to avoid future situations like we have with the abandoned tire plant and stockpile of tires and product. The TSS has set as a priority for 2018, to clean up this site. We will continue to work closely with them on this issue. I feel very positive about this new organization as CAO Carol White and myself had met with the chair and vice chair of the board of directors on September 20. So, I am very hopeful that we will see progress on this issue. On another topic, waste management, our new landfill scale is installed and working. All loads are now being weighed and effective January 1, 2018 all users will be paying by weight $0.10/kg ($100/ tonne) with a minimum of $7.00 under 100
kg. A brochure with additional information will soon be available. Residential waste collection is also changing, With a target implementation of April 2018, we will start curbside collection with Loraas Disposal. Every household will receive a 95 gallon bin similar to our recycling blue bin. Collection will be every two weeks alternating with your recycle blue bin, and will take place on Wednesdays to move away from the Monday holidays. The Town will stay divided into two sections as now, so every Wednesday you will put out either your recycling bin or your garbage bin. Again, I would encourage everyone to please look at their recycling habits to reduce the amount going into your waste container. Residents will not see an additional charge for this service. The plan for the commercial waste collection is still under review. Our new raw water line from Perrin Dam to the Water Treatment Plant has been completed, and will be connected in conjunction with the WTP upgrades in 2018.

Diabetes is a chronic, often debilitating and sometimes fatal disease, in which the body either cannot produce insulin or cannot properly use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that controls the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Diabetes leads to high blood sugar levels, which can damage organs, blood vessels and nerves. The body needs insulin to use sugar as an energy source. Type 1 diabetes generally develops in childhood or adolescence, but can develop in adulthood. Type 2 diabetes more often develops in adults, but Photos by Marusia Kaweski children can be affected.

Brody Beliveau and Mike Harden of the Nitehawks brought the southern team to within striking distance. Late in the game, Lane Cayer put the game out of reach. It was another solid 60 minutes for Spencer Bushell in net. The game was rather tame with 10 penalties handed out in total to both sides. Two of Assiniboia’s goals were on powerplays. Elsewhere in the league on November 24, Hodgeville Huskies edged past the Glentworth Thunder 4-3.

Junior Rebels win twice during weekend action
Bountiful crop
Photo by Marusia Kaweski
Jeremie Brochu, who is 85 years old, stills keeps a garden on his acreage near Assiniboia. As he was winterizing and cleaning out his vegetable storage, he came across a potato forgotten in storage with unusual sprouting. Brochu did not plant a potato crop this year because of the drought, making this red potato two years old. The 2016 potato crop was large and plentiful.
Growing sprouts for winter Submitted by Patricia Hanbidge, horticulturist with the Saskatoon School of Horticulture Now that winter has finally come, gardeners tend to crave a couple of things. Growing something that is useful, and usually edible, and looking for that wonder of growth beginning. Well, do I have a wonderful idea for you. Let’s grow sprouts. Home-grown sprouts or microgreens are a healthy addition to a salad, a sandwich or just about anything else. It is also a great way to get that gardening fix that we are beginning to crave. Growing sprouts is inexpensive, nutritious and easy. One could go so far to say that pound for pound, sprouts are perhaps the most nutritious food there is from the dollar value perspective. Sprouts are the most concentrated and truly natural sources of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids known. Better yet, they can be grown indoors in any climate and are ready to eat in only a few days. These tiny, easy-to-digest plants are at their peak of nutritional value, as the seed releases all of its stored nutrients in a burst of vitality in the journey to becoming a full-sized plant. You could look at sprouts as a powerful battery of nutrients that can rival citrus fruits in vitamin C and beef in protein and actually surpass almost any other known food source in completeness. Just one more positive is that these squiggly little vegetables are delicious, economical and an ideal food for weight watchers as one fully packed cup of mung, alfalfa or radish shoots contains under 20 calories. The challenge of growing sprouts is pretty low. It is easy for almost anyone who wishes to enjoy fresh and natural food year round. If you have a spot where you are living that is comfortable for you, a good source of clean water, then you will be a successful sprout grower. You just need to attend to them twice each day.
There are many sources for the seeds that are suitable for sprouters. For example, “seed quality” beans are better than “food quality” beans as the seed quality will always show a better germination rate which is important for those wanting to see sprouts grow. You may purchase sprout seeds in health-food stores, specialty shops and many other mail-order houses and shops. A basic sprouting system is simply any receptacle that is large enough to hold the finished sprouts, but not made of wood or metal. If you happen to be using pottery, then it is important to use a high-fired stoneware that will not contain toxic lead sulphate in the glaze. Containers of plastic, china, enamel, and unglazed pottery are excellent choices. Since the sprouting container must be kept covered, anything that comes with its own lid is a good choice, including bean pots, crocks, canisters, coffee pots, fondue pots, cookie jars, chafing dishes, large plastic storage containers, and plastic icecream boxes. However, you can also purchase a little grow unit from seed supply houses. The instructions for growing are simple. Find a jar or other receptacle, a bit of fine netting, a rubber band, clean fresh water and of course some seeds to germinate. Use about a cup of water to every teaspoon of seed. If you have chosen to sprout in a jar you can soak the seed in the same jar. If not, any sterile container will do. Use about one cup of water to every tablespoon of seed. Soak the seeds for a short time to get that germination started and then rinse and drain your seeds two to three times daily. I like to invert the jar on an angle in a small bowl to allow the excess water to drain. Last, but not least, enjoy. Swirl the finished sprouts in clean water to separate the hulls and rinse the sprouts gently. Drain and allow to dry for a few hours and store in the fridge until consumed.

In weekend action, the Assiniboia Junior Rebels claimed two wins. The Junior Rebels blanked the Regina Silver Foxes 6-0 in Regina on November 25. The Junior Rebels capitalized on two power plays to score and had 48 shots to the Silver Foxes’s 22 shots. Austin Neiszner opened the scoring a little over two minutes into the game. Dakota Helland put two power play goals in the net to complete the scoring in the first period. Carson Cayer netted a lone goal in a toned down second period, and Tyde Hutchinson and Bryce Hall each put one past the Regina goalie in the third. The Junior Rebels edged out the Delisle Chiefs 5-4 on November 26. Delisle took a two-goal lead in the first period with Graham Gove and Benson Thorpe scoring.

Long-time dental educator retires Retirement closed the chapter on a long and distinguished career for Clara Ellert as a dental therapist and educator. Her retirement was celebrated by friends and family at the Prince of Wales Centre on November 11. It was an evening of sharing memories and laughter while socializing over appetizers and drinks. A display table provided guests with a glimpse into Ellert’s remarkable 42-year career. There were photo albums with snapshots of her visits to schools, along with her academic degrees and honours. “Few people dedicate themselves as much to the job than Clara,” commented Wanda Ogle, a nursing colleague from Five Hills Health Region. Ellert herself recounted her rise through her career, which parallels the development of dental nursing in the province. “My career has been amazing,” she stated. Ellert graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 1975 in dental therapy. It was only the second graduating class of dental nurses at that time. Back in the 1970s, there was much less specialization in medicine than encountered today. This occupation later came to be known as a dental therapist, Ellert explained. A decade later when the province phased out the school dental program, the profession underwent another transformation into dental health education. Ellert began her dental career in private practice at My Dental Centre in Assiniboia. “I learned so much there,” she said. During the last phase of her career, she spent 23 years in public health as a dental health educator in the Five Hills Health Region. “It was an honour to serve as dental health educator,” Ellert noted.
“Clara made the best of every situation,” said Jenn Pituliy, who emceed the evening. “She has the gift of making everyone feel comfortable.” The broad cross-section of guests attending the evening bore this out, including public health colleagues, nurses, and those in private practice as well as dental patients. While Ellert loved her job and all of the patients that she encountered, she found most delight in working with children. Album after album of photographs with children at schools underscore this point. She also took pleasure in visiting the Hutterite colonies where she was warmly welcomed. Many of the children knew Ellert as the “tooth fairy” or “Mrs. Tooth”. In recognition of her dedication to the dental health of children, the Assiniboia Childcare Services presented her with a gift. The children of ACS made their favourite “tooth fairy” her a piece of art. Part of her work with the dental program took Ellert on long road trips to schools and communities across the southwest. The “crazy roads” and being stranded during snow storms are just some of the memories that she will fondly recall. Throughout all the years and changing duties, Ellert credits her family, friends and public health coworkers for their support. In a humorous and partly symbolic way to end the program, Ellert passed on the “tooth fairy” wand to Pituliy as a gesture of passing the torch to the next generation of dental educators. Ellert will be missed in dental public health. She spent the remainder of the evening reminiscing with friends and guests.

remembered as the first provincial contract bridge tournament held for the STS in Saskatchewan. All of the participants had a chance to develop new friendships, have some fun and socialize. The first, second and third place winners were awarded cash prizes. Throughout the day, other prizes were won by bridge players. The event was attended by STS members from across the province. Club 55 members catered for two coffee breaks and a delicious turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Lois Giraudier and Marion Spagrud of South Central Chapter coordinated the day’s events. Currently, South Central Chapter is working on collecting histories of school from the past. The SCC has collected histories for about 400 schools in three divisions, the Red Coat Trail, Borderland and Golden Plains. The histories will about three large binders. The coordinators of the history project are Marion Spagrud and Raymond Mynett. The information collected includes recollections of school life from the day, and lists of teachers and school boards. The SCC worked with the divisions and those connected to the schools as well as STS members. or taught at the school. There were many one room schools dotting the prairies up until the 1960s. Today, school divisions have changed and there are only a handful of schools in the south central region.

Assiniboia churches participate in Proclamation The Proclamation event took place in Assiniboia at the Messiah Lutheran Church from November 13 to November 22. This is a work of the Canadian Bible Society when the Bible is read aloud in public in its entirety from beginning to end over a ten-day period. On the first day of Proclamation, Pastor Doug Miner welcomed those gathered and spoke briefly about the significance of this event. “It’s a privilege to be part of this Proclamation event. This word is a means by which God graces our lives,” he added. “It is an opportunity to read the Bible together as a community.” Among the readers and those coming to listen, there were people representing every church congregation in Assiniboia. “We know as we take our turn reading and listening, the Holy Spirit is at work in each of is,” he said. Pastor Miner then began reading a designated excerpt followed by each of the pastoral leaders from the churches in Assiniboia, including Rev. Bob Scott, Pastor Greg Dermody, Pastor Marlin Juell, Rev. Marilyn Leuty, Rev. Denis Remot and Pastor Nicholas Franks. There were also congregation members from churches doing readings as well. Proclamation began in the Spring of 1995 in Rosemère, Quebec, when about 200 people representing many different denominations and speaking more than 12 different languages came together in the small Anglican parish of St. James to read the Bible over a 10-day period. In 1998, another Proclamation event was held at five locations in the Montreal area bringing in 2,000 readers. In Nova Scotia, two events brought together almost 1,000 people representing over 30 churches, and in Brockville almost 400 readers from 16 churches took part in a Proclamation event.
By 2001, every province in Canada had held at least one Proclamation event. Proclamation continues to grow and to encourage more and more Canadians to proclaim the Word of the Lord publicly in their communities. Still, it is not an annual event. The last Proclamation event in Assiniboia was at least five years ago. At the Assiniboia Proclamation event, readings took place over ten days starting on November 13. It began at 7 a.m. every morning and concluded about 9 p.m. daily. Because regular worship service took place on Sunday morning, the readings began at 1 p.m. During the final day on November 22, a Celebration Service was held at 7:30 p.m. The readings were set up to run about 35 to 50 minutes for every hour. In between, the readers and those listening would take a break and socialize and discuss the readings. Reading schedules have been developed integrating Old Testament readings with Psalms and Proverbs along with New Testament readings. Commenting on the benefits of the Proclamation event for the Christian community, “I see it helps us to build relationships and be inspired together,” Miner stated. “I personally wish we could have a Proclamation each year.” An annual event would allow those outside the church to have an opportunity to ask questions about Christianity. For many Canadians, both those who listen and read, participating in a Proclamation event is a remarkable new experience. Proclamation is a public witness that reinvigorates the church. Over the years, the events have brought together many different congregations and parishes from many denominations and confessions. This co-operative spirit makes a powerful statement of community unity.

Cereals Canada Corner: New Crop Missions 2017 Submitted by Drew Baker Organized by Cereals Canada, the Canadian Grain Commission and the Canadian International Grains Institute (CIGI), the 2017 New Crop Missions will visit 18 countries, each of which are Canada’s top customers for wheat. Our first stop is with the millers in Canada and the U.S. It is often forgotten that our most important customers are on the North American continent. The New Crop Missions are truly a team effort. Canada is unique in presenting the entire value chain to customers and, as a farmer, I am honoured to have represent Canadian producers on this year’s missions. As a director on the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association, CIGI and Cereals Canada, I get to work directly with the value chain and get to see how valuable it is that we continually work together. Throughout November, I met with customers in Japan,
Korea, China and Singapore. The team also met with officials from government agencies and had one-on-one meetings with large buyers. On these missions, I got to tell our story. I got to directly answer questions about sustainability, farm practices, and how we as farmers make cropping decisions. I was on hand to address questions on storage practices that impact food safety requirements. I believe it is important to highlight the technical advancements that help Canadian farmers be as productive as possible, as well as ensuring that we are sustainably managing our farms. Quality this year has been outstanding. Over 95 per cent of CWRS crop is in the Number 1 and Number 2 grades. Over 90 per cent of the 2017 durum crop is in the Number 1 and Number 2 grades. This is a good news story. Delivering the technical data on the 2017 crop was only half of the job. It was also important that we listened to

A curling clinic was held at Glentworth Curling Rink on November 12. Leading the clinic were Penny (Roy) Barker, the 2017 Provincial Ladies Curling Champion, and coach Leon Roy of Moose Jaw. The clinic even featured warmup exercises emphasizing that “everything starts in the hack”, which is the foundation of the game. There were 31 students and adults, ranging in age from seven to the early sixties, who took in the clinic and received valuable information about curling. Leon Roy, who was born and raised in the Fir Mountain area, stated that it was great to give back to the community.

The demands of our customers are the key driving force for Canadian research and innovation. What has all of this meant to me personally? I believe this opportunity has given me more information on how important are the decisions I make on my farm. An example of this would be ensuring that I am spraying at the right time, delivering what I declare, and overall being engaged with what are the current and potential market access issues. I would recommend that every producer look at the website www.keepingitclean.ca, as well as www. canadianwheat.ca. As a proud, sustainable, Canadian producer, I am always looking at how I can do things better and more sustainably which is profitable for both me and my farm, as well as for the industry as a whole.

Eggnog Fudge Makes 64 pieces
• 3 cups (750 ml) granulated sugar • 1 cup (250 ml) eggnog • 1 tbsp (15 ml) corn syrup • 2 tbsp (25 ml) butter • 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla • 1/2 cup (125 ml) chopped walnuts Glaze • 1/4 cup (50 ml) semisweet chocolate chips • 1 tsp (5 ml) butter
PREPARATION: Grease sides of large heavy saucepan. Add sugar; stir in eggnog and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until boiling. Cook, stirring only if necessary to prevent sticking, until candy thermometer reaches soft-ball stage of 238°F (115°C), and when 1/2 tsp (2ml) syrup dropped into very cold water forms soft ball that flattens on removal from water. Immediately remove from heat; let cool to lukewarm, 110°F (43°C), without stirring. Using wooden spoon, beat in butter and vanilla, beating until very thick and no longer shiny. Quickly stir in nuts. Spread in greased 8-inch (2 l) square cake pan. Tip: If fudge sets too quickly before spreading in pan, reheat gently over low heat just until soft enough to spread. Glaze: Melt together chocolate chips and butter. Drizzle over fudge. Score into 1-inch (2.5 cm) squares while warm; let cool completely and cut into squares. Fudge can be layered between waxed paper in airtight container and stored for up to two weeks.

Obituaries Beryl Meginbir
On October 22, 2017 Beryl Cynthia Curtis Meginbir (nee Speed) went home to be with her Lord and Savior at the age of 93. Beryl was born February 1, 1924, in Palmer, Saskatchewan, and attended school in the Palmer district. In 1942 she met Herman Meginbir and in 1946 they were married, and moved to the family farm where they farmed and raised six children. During Beryl’s years on the farm she was a homemaker and enjoyed sewing, cooking, baking, entertaining and gardening. She took great pride in her flower gardens growing many different types of flowers. Much of her enjoyment in life came from watching her six children grow and getting to spend time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She served as a cook for many years at the Glad Tidings Bible Camp. She was also the Sunday school treasurer for many years at the Congress Baptist Church. In her early years Beryl learned to play the violin and did so for a number of years, but found it to be more of a torture and upon having children gave it up. Beryl & Herman lived and farmed on the family farm until 1982 when they retired from farming and moved to Assiniboia where they both resided until their deaths. Beryl is predeceased by her husband Herman, son Dwight, granddaughter Sara, son-in-law Daryl Harley, parents Reginald & Mary Speed; brothers-in-law Stan Thiele, Ed, Art, Albert Meginbir, Lawrence Hanley, Jack Pearce; sisters-in-law Lydia Pearce, Elsie Hanley, Myrtle Meginbir, Muriel Meginbir; mother and father in-law Matilda & William Meginbir.

She is also survived by her sister Audrey Thiele. Funeral Service was held for Beryl at the Assiniboia Apostolic Church on October 28, 2017 at 10:00 am. Pastor Terry Severson officiated. Music was congregational hymn “How Marvellous” accompanied and led by Jaeda Quist. A solo of “It Is Well With My Soul” was sung by Patsy Anderson.

Foreign cattlemen tour Saskatchewan ranches A group of beef producers from Norway and one from Finland stopped in Limerick for lunch at the Limerick hotel during the week of November 21. The groups had been attending the Canadian Western Agribition and were interested in touring ranches in southern Saskatchewan to view operations and talk genetics. There were nine Limousin producers from Norway who visited Yorga Farms near Flintoff. For most of the group, it was their first time visiting Saskatchewan and the Agribition. They were most struck by the size of Saskatchewan’s cattle operations and the size of the cattle. Smiling and joking, they noted that the largest beef producers in Norway have about 20 head on average. Given the space restrictions in European countries like Norway and Finland, they are looking for the most efficient breeds to turn grazing land into protein. Michael Latimer from the Agribition’s International Program stated there were delegations from about 80 countries attending the Agribition. By the fifth day of the event, it had attracted 329 international buyers, which is a huge jump from the 200 attending last year. “This has been a benchmark year for us in a lot of ways. We have really strong attendance here at the gates,” said Chris Lane, CEO of Canadian Western Agribition. “We know we are going to be setting records on the international front in terms of visitors that we have welcomed here.” The two largest groups were the ones touring around Wood Mountain and Flintoff, a group of 20 from Finland and a group of 40 from Norway.

Limousin producers from Norway stopped in Limerick on their way to visit Yorga Farms.
Some of the countries represented at the Agribition this year include Kazakhstan, Mexico, Brazil, Columbia, Australia, China and Estonia. Canadian beef has become an attraction in European countries signalling a shift in customer preferences for high quality beef. According to Latimer, these foreign buyers are mostly coming to view and acquire genetics and stock to improve their herds. “Canada has a good reputation for most breeds,” he said. Some will be taking embryos and semen back, while others are looking to purchase bulls. Although the foreign buyers are taking gen-
etics back with them, Canada is no danger of competition from these countries. A lot of the production of these countries will be sold domestically. As Latimer points out, the Saskatchewan beef industry isn’t about to turn away customers. The delegations could shop elsewhere for their genetics. “We like to see this go back to Canadian genetics,” he added. The Agribition has an important economic spin off for Regina, but clearly the entire province is benefiting. Saskatchewan cattle ranches and farming communities are a short drive away for interested international and domestic buyers.

Arts & Entertainment Popcorn productions stages comedy The Rotary Club of Assiniboia and Popcorn Production presented the play, “Things My Mother Taught Me” written by Katherine DiSavino. The performances took place at the Prince of Wales Centre in Assiniboia during the weekend of November 2426 in three settings, a pub night, a dinner theatre and an afternoon matinee. The event was one of the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Rotary Club. Proceeds from the matinee went to Popcorn Productions to fundraise for their future performances. The play had a simple plot but a topic that connected with practically everyone in the audience — family relationships. The main characters, a young couple called Olivia (Liv) and Gabe, played by Adine Stang and Brandon Welder, are in the process of moving into their first apartment together which is across the country from
both sets of parents. The first scene opened with the stage resembling a household on the move — full of boxes, and the young couple’s first chair stuck in the doorway. The chair goes on to become a central character and a metaphor for relationships in the family. “It’s not just a chair,” implores Olivia. “It’s our first chair.” Like her relationship, Olivia is preoccupied with the stuck chair, wanting to keep it in pristine condition. She was unwilling to bend the chair, or her feelings, to suit the new joint household. Meanwhile, Gabe pined for his old beat up chair, comfortable with continuing his old ways. Unknown to Liv, Gabe has invited both sets of parents to visit them because he planned to ask Olivia to marry him. Chaos ensues as each set of parents arrives at an inopportune time, while the couple is trying to move their be-
Comfortable chair longings. While Gabe’s mother is cleaning the apartment, the moving truck is stolen along with all of their possessions and the engagement ring. The two dads and Gabe head out to look for the truck. The audience learns
