Lake Lenore Variety Show is huge success By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

Lake Lenore School hosted their annual variety show on Feb. 25 at Lake Lenore School, with the senior choir at the school putting on the show. The school has been hosting the variety show since 1989. The show was a collaboration of a bunch of different songs and skits tied together with a story of a couple celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. They took their grandkids through the story of how they met, how the proposal went and featured different things that happened in their lives sprinkled in between. The show also featured a small back-story featuring the grandmother’s sister who could not be happy for her sister because she had feelings for the grandfather and secretly wished he had chosen her instead of her sister. Music Teacher Susan Creurer said that the concept

for the variety show was pre-planned in terms of the songs and skits chosen from various places but it was the students who wrote the side story featuring the anniversary. “We had a meeting with those students and they came together and it’s their ideas. We just try to come up with things that would work to pull it all together.â€? she said. The show mixed humour with music and was very entertaining for the audience who applauded every scene. “I am so incredibly proud of these kids, they work hard, they work together‌and they did a fantastic job,â€? said Creurer. Hosting a variety show is very important for the kids, says Creurer because it teaches them valuable life skills. “It’s not just about individuals they learn to work together, they learn about the music, they learn about

teamwork, they learn about organization, they learn about responsibility. The kids gain a lot of confidence by being involved in this because they have to stand up there and be in front of all of these people.� Creurer has been a music teacher at Lake Lenore School since 1988 and has been organizing the variety show since its inception in 1989 but the show on Feb. 25 was bittersweet for her as this will be her final time organizing the show due in part to her impending retirement this June. Creurer said the night was very emotional for her, saying she was feeling “a lot of things.� “I’m feeling excited because I’m headed into some new times and it’ll be good to spend a little more time with my family and to be free to do a little bit of traveling and a few other things but I really love this school and I love the community and I’m going to miss the kids but I’m hoping to sub and that will still keep me around once in a while.�

Farnham tickles ivories in Watrous By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Jason Farnham might be a little unknown yet in Canada. But that is because the Ohio native has had little opportunity to perform up north. Classically trained on piano, Farnham’s concert in Watrous on Feb. 28 through the Organization Of Saskatchewan Arts Councils and Watrous and Area Arts Council is only his second in Saskatchewan, with a performance in Assiniboia on Feb. 26. He heard about the Organization Of Saskatchewan Arts Councils and the opportunity to expand his concerts into Canada so he travelled to a showcase in Saskatoon. He is excited to see new territory, especially trying out Manitou Springs. “I’ve heard they’re really cool, so I’m

looking forward to that.” Going from Assiniboia, to Watrous, then to Canora on Feb. 29, Farnham is renting a vehicle to do some site seeing. Farnham started piano lessons at the age of four with a private piano teacher. By the time he was in grade 8, he was in a jazz band and wanted to explore other avenues of piano music, specifically jazz chords. Depeche Mode was a big influence on him around this time on his musical journey. Listening to the piano parts, him and a friend who also played piano thought this is something they would like to try. “That’s when I learned to play stuff by ear,” says Farnham. By university, he was writing his own music. By 2008, he was playing his own concerts in the western and mid-western

states. Earlier set lists were modeled after Jim Brickman and George Winston, both American singer/songwriters who have a new age contemporary piano style. “I started doing that and then I realized I wanted to do my own thing so I started adding other elements into the show.” This is where Jerry Lee Lewis and Victor Borge come into his set with touches of comedy elements mixed in. “It’s not like it’s a comedy show but there is just some humor involved. It’s more Victor Borge kind of comedy where I’ll play a piece upside down.” Farnham also brings a toy piano with him to shows, which is quite interesting taking through customs. Sitting on stage, hunched over this piano had people compare him

to Schroeder from Peanuts. That just made Farnham buy an actual toy piano to play. Farnham says he always has fun traveling with the 2 foot by 3 foot piano and gets weird looks from airport officials. “They give you this look, and then they are like, ‘we’re not responsible if it breaks.’” With three kids under five at home in California and being a stay at home dad, Farnham plays around two to three shows a month but says it is fun to have that opportunity. Farnham is even getting his kids involved in music with Youtube and U2 concert videos. “All the bands that I like, which is fun about kids because you can get them to like all the bands that you like even if they’re not cool anymore.”

Ducks Unlimited banquet brings funds to Humboldt By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

For the Humboldt chapter of Ducks Unlimited Canada, fundraisers like the 31st annual Spring Banquet and Fundraising Auction on Feb. 27 is huge for their projects in the region. Darcy Leonew, Ducks Unlimited Co-chair and President, says that they had the fundraiser in a different month compared to other years, but that did not make a difference. People still came out to support the Ducks. “They like our organization and we show everyone a good time.” Twenty-seven local businesses supported the fundraiser, and without them, Leonew says he does not know how they could make the fundraiser happen. Jubilee Hall was nearly full because people stepped up, says Leonew. “With all the private ticket sales, people just stepped up and filled the place.” A lot of work went into making the fundraiser such a big success. Ducks Unlimited members, including family and other volunteers, contributed

many hours to putting together the fundraiser. Leonew says he has a good fundraising committee backing him up. “If you don’t have that committee as your backbone, they are the ones that make my job a lot easier,” says Leonew. Members helped with planning the event, but it was the volunteers who got everything together, says Leonew. Along with silent and live auctions, attendees got to go around to different games set up to complete their passport for prize draws. One game involved auctioning off knife sets. Those that won got to put their initials on a rubber duck, which were then picked out of a cooler by Rio, Dave Atamanchuk’s black lab. Those ducks the dog picked were the unlucky ones as that was the elimination round for picking the big four prizes at the fundraiser. Part of the fun was the MC, Lambert Strumborg

Playoff division champions crowned in Horizon By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

There was a number of division champions named this week in the Horizon School Division’s basketball league. Junior Girls The Northwest Division A Championship was a battle of the Lakes as Lake Lenore traveled to Middle Lake on Feb. 25. It was Middle Lake who emerged victorious thanks to a destruction of Lake Lenore 55-17. In the Northwest Division B Championship game St. Brieux B traveled to St. Dominic on Feb. 25. After a very close first half St. Brieux ran away with the second half en route to a 44-24 win. The East Division regular season finale took place on Feb. 25 when Wynyard hosted Foam Lake. Foam Lake competed a perfect 5-0 season thanks to a 33-26 win, which gave them the division title. Since the East Division only had three teams they did not compete in a championship game. Junior Boys It was a battle for supremacy in the Northeast Division between St. Brieux and Lake Lenore on Feb. 22. Hometown Lake Lenore flexed their offensive muscles putting up 67 points en route to a 37 point win, 67-30. The Northwest Division championship took place between a pair of

Humboldt schools as Humboldt Public hosted St. Augustine on Feb. 24. In a tight defensive battle St. Augustine emerged victorious 26-17. Watrous traveled to Lanigan on Feb. 23 when the teams battled for the Southwest Division title. Hometown Lanigan got the better of visiting Watrous 55-47. In the Southeast Division, the team that dominated the division all season long did so once again in the championship game as Wynyard Composite battered Foam Lake 44-10 in Wynyard on Feb. 25. Senior Boys Needing a win to clinch the regular season division title Humboldt hosted Lake Lenore on Feb. 23. The Mohawks were able to clinch the North Division thanks to an easy 58-33 win. The South Division had a pair of games this week with the regular season title on the line. Watrous was involved in both games and needed a pair of wins to be crowned the champions. In their first game, they hosted Viscount on Feb. 23. The game was the closer of the two for Watrous who emerged with a 52-33 win before beating Lanigan in Lanigan on Feb. 25 73-50. The wins clinched them the division and will see them host Kawacatoose Mar. 1.

Muenster hosts regional curling bonspiel By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

The Colonsay Colts were the Region C Boy’s Curling Champions at the bonspiel in Muenster on Feb. 26-27. The win qualifies the Colts for the Provincial Championships in Assiniboia on Mar. 4-5. photo by Christopher Lee

The Muenster Curling Club hosted a boys high school Regional curling qualifier on Feb. 26 & 27 with the top two teams receiving a berth into the provincial championship. The tournament was a double knockout format with teams allowed only a single loss on their way to qualifying. There was a champion named in the Upper Bracket as the tournament champion and a Lower Bracket winner who was the top one loss team in the tournament. The Upper Bracket winner was from Colonsay who beat Prince Albert and Foam Lake en route to the final where they played Canwood. Colonsay scored five in the second end and two more in each of the fifth and sixth ends during their easy 9-2 win. Colonsay returns to the Provincial Championship for the second time in three years after finishing in fourth place in 2014. Colonsay skip Tyler Camm said it will be “nice to be back� for a second chance after being on the 2014 team as a grade 10. Camm was happy with how his team curled and said that they curled better than they have at any tournament

before. Having been there before Camm says he can draw from that experience and expects some tough competition. “Every game is going to be a battle just like it was here today. Every game is going to be close, it’s high school curling so anything can happen.� With their loss to Colonsay, Canwood was relegated to the Lower Bracket final against hometown Muenster, who lost their first game to Arborfield and had to run the table from there to get to the final, which included wins over Martensville, Foam Lake and a rematch against Arborfield. The lower bracket final was a back and forth affair between the two teams as neither team lead by more than two points. Muenster took a 1-0 lead into the second end where Canwood tied the score. Muenster regained the lead in the third end when they scored a pair but Canwood responded with three in the fourth to take a 4-3 lead into the midgame break. Out of the break Muenster once again regained the lead with another deuce but once again Canwood had an answer scoring two of their own in the sixth end to take a 6-5 lead into the final two ends.

Stay positive Broncos fans By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

It has not been a season that fans of the Humboldt Broncos were hoping for but fans have no reason to be disappointed. For the first time since the 1979-1980 season the Broncos are on the outside looking in when it comes to the playoffs. While that is disappointing for sure, it always is when your favourite team misses the playoffs, the fans of the Broncos have been very lucky over the years. The Broncos sit in a tie for fifth with the third most appearances in the National Championship tournament with five and sit in a tie for the second most since 2003 with four trailing only the Camrose Kodiaks’ five. They also have two national championships, which is tied for third most all time and tied for the most since 2003. They are also fourth all time in most games won at the national championship. In contrast my hometown team, the Smiths Falls Bears have missed the playoffs four times since 2003 and have just two league championships since

1961 and zero national championship appearances. Since 2003, they also have just two league final appearances and just one semi-final appearance, the final five-playoff appearances were first round exits. Fans of the Broncos have been incredibly spoiled with their success over the years and will continue to be spoiled in the future. Granted this disappointing season leaves it difficult to have optimism for the future, there is a lot to be excited about. You have to remember, over the past three seasons the Broncos have endured three different coaches, which makes it difficult to sustain success because different coaches have different systems, which the players have to learn each season. In addition to the coaching change there was also a big changeover in players, which included the trading of all of the 1995 born players, who were in their final year of eligibility. Let’s not forget all those trades resulted in a number of rookies getting their chance in the league this year, which resulted in some monumental struggles on the road. As of Feb. 29 the Broncos had lost 24 games in a row on the road, which is nearly

unheard of and will almost certainly not happen again. And really, if not for those struggles this team would be right in the thick of the playoff hunt. The changeover in players should also provide optimism going forward because there are zero players who will be leaving at the end of this season, which means all of them can return to the team next year. One of the trades resulted in the Broncos acquiring Chris Van Os-Shaw from the Weyburn Red Wings who teamed up with Logan Schatz and Trevor Posch to absolutely light up the league as the trio combined for 19 goals and 30 assists in the 13 games since he joined the team. The Broncos also had their first 20-goal scorer since the 2012-2013 season as Daniel McKitrick currently has 22 goals. With a full year of experience under their belts the Broncos should be an even better team next season and with an offseason to tweak the squad. Fans have a great reason for optimism in the fall. So, being sad that they missed the playoffs is a fair emotion since you should never enjoy seeing your team lose but don’t quit on them because they will be back better next year.

My week without television By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

In honour of Freedom to Read week, I decided to celebrate that week exercising my freedom to read instead of watching television or movies. In Canada, 12 million Canadians do not read above a Grade 3 reading level, according to Statistics Canada. I’m pretty sure I’m reading higher than that but over the past couple of years, I have not been exercising that freedom and skill. Now I am not saying there is anything wrong with television and movies. Probably like most people, I just feel I spend too much time streaming television shows or binge watching Netflix. Some of my bigger binges I’m quite ashamed of. The worst of them was the four days it took to watch five seasons of Republic of Doyle. At 42 minutes an episode with 68 episodes over five seasons, that amounted to 2,856 minutes – almost 48 hours of Netflix. Divide that by four days and I was watching twelve hours of Netflix

per day. After some digging, that is only double the national average for kids age 6-19 in Canada in 2011, says MediaSmarts, Canada’s Centre for Digital and Media Literacy. I love to read but my love of television shows and movies it seems has become excessive and has killed that reading love a little bit. The problem I now have with movie watching is that it seems to be a go to activity. Especially when I’m stuck on a new Netflix show, that is my go to activity after work. Pajamas, bed, my tablet, and Netflix. Forget about reading. Forget about writing outside of work. Forget about working on a sewing project.

Sure, we’ll go to a movie. With the no television week, it did actually make us explore other options, like going bowling or a walk. It was a nice change to take television out of the equation and if I ever do this again in the summer, I’ll have more options for turning off the tube.

Votto among baseball top 10 By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

Lists serve to rank, but they also serve to infuriate, because there is absolutely no chance of consensus on the final order. (General reaction: Are you nuts?!) So, let the infuriation begin, as we count down today’s top 10 baseball players (non-pitcher category). This week, Nos. 10 down to 6; next week, as spring training reaches its mid-point in Arizona and Florida, Nos. 5 down to No. 1. (Of course, every baseball fan knows who’s No. 1, but you’ll have to wait until next week to see it officially.) No. 10: Dee Gordon, 2B, Miami Marlins: He’ll never win a slugging title, and he could show more patience at the plate (only 25 walks last year) but every manager would love to have a guy like this, who hits (.333), has speed (58 stolen bases) and is a vacuum in the infield (.992 fielding percentage). 9. Andrew McCutcheon, OF, Pittsburgh Pirates: His team is on the cusp of greatness, and McCutcheon is the catalyst. He’s got speed, a great glove and his hitting stats are basically the same every year (23 HR, 96 RBI, 98 walks last season). He’s dependable, a leader and probably poised to hoist a World Series trophy in the next year or two. 8. Lorenzo Cain, OF, Kansas City Royals: Cain’s primary value to the World Champion Royals is on defence, where he patrols centre field (and much of left, and right, too). He’s the league’s

best defensively, but he also hit .307 last year and scored 101 runs, some of which can be attributed to his speed; his 28 stolen bases were eighth-most in the majors last year. 7. Paul Goldschmidt, 1B, Arizona Diamondbacks: Today’s most telling stat has to be OPS, which stands for on-base percentage plus slugging. Goldschmidt is a guy who gets on base a lot (.321 batting average) and hits for power (33 homers, 110 RBI). Defensively, he’s baseball’s best at first base. What more could a manager want? 6. Joey Votto, 1B, Cincinnati Reds: Can’t have a list like this without a Canadian and Votto may go down as our country’s best ever major leaguer. His eyesight is acute, as evidenced by his MLB-leading 143 walks in 2015. His .459 onbase percentage (second best in 2015) means he reached base almost every second plate appearance, which is remarkable.

GMO the future of feeding the world

Calvin Daniels The ability of the world to feed people might seem like a rather small issue when you walk into a grocery store in Canada and always find the shelves well-stocked. Rare is the day one goes to purchase a food item and it is not available here. And while it often seems that food is expensive, take the nonfood items out of the grocery bags; dish soap, cat food, magazine, ra-

zor blades and a host of other items put on a grocery list which are not food, the cost is still quite reasonable. But on an international scale food production, and its future, are a much more significant concern. There are so many factors influencing food production, starting with ever more mouths to feed. World population is increasing, and there is nothing which seems viable as a control of that growth. Desertification, urban sprawl, and other influences are reducing the land actually available which is capable of growing food, at least under current practices. And then there is the concerns surrounding climate change, and what those changes

might mean to food production on a world scale. With such concerns it’s not surprising the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has held symposiums on the issue. “The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has previously held a couple of symposiums to discuss how we will feed the growing world population,” explained Esterhazy-area farmer Dale Leftwich, who is also a Director with SaskCanola. But the most recent event held in Italy broadened the scope of the discussion, said Leftwich. “These meetings have been intended to increase production on smallholder farms, but

have not included how modern biotechnology could play a part,” he said. “Some groups did not want to include this type of innovation.” So a conference held at the FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy in mid-February dealing with ‘The Role of Agricultural Biotechnologies in Sustainable Food Systems and Nutrition’ was somewhat ground breaking. It might be suggested the conference was well overdo as well. To think the solutions to the multiple issues of food production will be solved without biotechnolgies seems folly. When one looks at issues such as desertification, or salinization, the possibility of genetically modifying plants to sustain drier conditions, or the thrive in saline con-

ditions, would seem the most expedient path. Granted line breeding and more traditional methods of varietal crop development might ultimately achieve results too, that path would be expected to be much longer, and given the rate of change we are experiencing hungry mouths may not have the luxury of time. Leftwich who sits on the board of the Canadian Canola Growers was chosen by the CCGA to present the farmer’s voice in Italy. “We had five farmers take part in the panel. In addition to me, we had farmers from Argentina, the Philippines, from Kenya and Ghana,” he said. So what was the message Leftwich shared? “My particular presentation focused on

three points,” he explained. · That by allowing us to reduce tillage, biotechnology is good for the environment. · That farmers need to be able to make decisions for themselves about how they farm and · That we include everyone in the discussion about how food is produced. The message was basic, but given he had only seven minutes, it was all that could reasonably be achieved. That said it might have missed a key point, that without GM as a tool, the potential of feeding a growing population as we move forward could be compromised. And certainly feeding everyone should be the first and foremost goal.

Muenster hosts regional curling bonspiel Continued from page 4 Muenster scored a gamehigh three points in the seventh end to give them a two-point cushion going into the final end. After a takeout by Muenster skip Kalvin Rueve on his last stone left Canwood with a maximum of one point in the end the teams shook hands, which gave Muenster an 8-6 win and the second provincial berth. Muenster skip Kalvin Rueve

was pleased to have the experience at regionals. “We are glad to be here and we’re just going to go there and try to do the best we can.” Despite losing their first game of the tournament and having their backs against the wall for the remainder of the bonspiel Rueve said his team never “felt down that much.” Tournament Commissioner, Janine Lacoursiere, said it was

really important for Muenster to host the tournament because it gave their boy’s team a chance to experience the regional tournament and have great exposure for both the kids and the community. Lacoursiere was very pleased with how the tournament went. “We had lots of spectators, there was really good curling, lots of good shots made, cheering from the fans so that

was good. We had lots of positive comments from people watching the kids playing, commenting on their playing, commenting on our booth, our facility. They were really happy with our facility so I think it was quite a success.” The boy’s team will not be the only Muenster squad representing the school at provincials as the girl’s squad also won the lower bracket with a 7-6 win

over the hosts from Strasbourg. In other regional curling action Naicam clinched the second provincial berth in the mixed doubles tournament also held in Strasbourg. The provincial championships are all being held on Mar. 4-5 with the boy’s tournament taking place in Assiniboia and the girl’s and mixed tournaments being held in Meadow Lake.

Chamber luncheon talks mentorship program

The Humboldt & District Chamber of Commerce held their monthly luncheon on Feb. 23 at the Pioneer Hotel. This month the Chamber invited Kanchan and Sona Manek to do a presentation on one of their partnership programs, the Raj Manek Mentorship Program. The mentorship programs mission statement states; “The Raj Manek Mentorship Program is the leading provider of business coaching, mentorship, and complementary tools to small and medium-sized entrepreneurs who demonstrate a strong desire and readiness for personal and professional growth in Saskatchewan and Alberta.” The program runs all throughout Saskatchewan with Saskatoon and Regina being the main centres and they just recently expanded the project into Northern Alberta. Sona Manek said it was important for businesses to have a mentorship program to turn to because it gives business owners a place to gain valuable knowledge from a business owner who is in a similar sector. “Business can be very isolating at times, it can be very difficult, you don’t feel like you have somebody to turn to or ask questions to and so a mentorship program allows you to bounce ideas off of somebody or gain advice from somebody who has been in a similar industry or through similar situations.” Graphic Ad Owner Colleen Lessmeister was a protégé in the program for three years and said that feeling less isolated was a big deal for her. “For new businesses you don’t really know that you’re not the only one that’s ever had this problem, you feel like you’re alone so when you have a mentor, it’s just somebody to talk to and nine times out of ten, they’ve been there and done that.” Talking to a fellow business owner is just one of a variety of tools that the mentorship program has to help new owners, says Manek, with monthly seminars, plenty of networking opportunities, city wide seminars, and tools and resources on their website. With their mentorship program there is also a matching system with mentors and protégé. Before they are matched, mentors and protégé are required to meet one another and get to know one another to make sure both parties are comfortable with each other. Part of the matching process makes sure the mentor and the protégé are from similar industries but not the same to avoid having a competitive scenario between the two. The example Manek used was a car dealership being paired up with a farm equipment dealership. Lessmeister said the matching process was great with a great Saskatoon and Humboldt network. “They know lots of people here and have a good way of matching up people and making it work,” says Lessmeister. Having to drive to Saskatoon could be a bit of a problem but if you have a plan when you go there, it

ends up being well worth it, says Lessmeister. “I’d go in with a plan or a specific issue that I may have wanted to talk about, that I was having trouble with at the time, be it employee issues or sales, or marketing and then you talk about that. You may already know the answer to your problem but once you talk to somebody about it they’ll reinforce it and help you answer your own question.” She said that even after you have been matched the mentorship program is still involved in making sure things are running smoothly. “Kanchan is really good with keeping in touch with everybody and seeing how things are going so they take an interest in you personally and you feel that.” As a result of their hard work and good matching process the mentorship program has seen a very high success rate, says Manek. “Traditionally in the very first year about 50 per cent of businesses survive and then in the second year 50 per cent of that will survive… With the mentorship program we found a way to learn from the mistakes of some of our mentors and some of the people around us and be able to increase that success rate to actually flip that number around and have about an 82 per cent or so success rate with our participants.” Lessmeister says there were a lot of benefits for her during the mentorship program but said the best benefit was being able to talk to someone else about issues and concerns about her business. “It’s a shoulder to cry on or somebody to bounce ideas off of and it evolved into a really good relation-

ship with another person who’s kind of been there and done that,” said Lessmeister. Manek says they usually see an average of 22-25 protégés every year but saw an increase in those numbers as they have 35 matches this year. In recent years the project has expanded their seminars to include webinars, says Manek. “We also run that over the internet and so people are able to sign in from work or from home remotely and participate in the seminar as well.” Since the inception of the program, Humboldt has seen around nine protégés participate in the program and have had one mentor. The lack of mentors compared to protégés speaks to the ability to work remotely, says Manek. “We’re in a community where we can drive to each other or teleconferences and all of those sorts of things. Mentor and protégé will always find a way to connect, whether it’s through a breakfast teleconference or in person.” Lessmeister said that the program was definitely a big help for her when she was starting out. “I think in the early years it definitely did help just establish a little bit of confidence but then afterwards the people that you meet through the seminars and different networking events you can keep in touch with. They do become customers or they do become friends and so that’s a nice extra benefit so it definitely helps.” Manek encourages everyone who is interested in the program to feel free to contact them at anytime by emailing info@manekmentorship.sk.ca.

Prairie Pearls belly dancing their way to Telemiracle By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

For the fourth year in a row, the Prairie Pearls will be dancing for audiences across Saskatchewan at Telemiracle. The Saskatchewan belly dancing group held their annual Telemiracle fundraiser on Feb. 27, featuring entertainment by the Prairie Pearls themselves and a DJ’d dance that followed. Prairie Pearl members, Tasha Poncelet and Stefanie Lipinski, both from Humboldt, Laura Bergquist from Wynyard, and Melissa Chegus from Watson met through a belly dancing class in Watson and decided to form their own group five years ago. Poncelet says they’ve been lucky to be invited back to Telemiracle for their fourth year. “As kids we all watched it, we always felt that someday we wanted to be part of it and one day we just decided it’s the right time to be apart of it.� Poncelet says that they love bringing happiness to Saskatchewan, both with their performances and fundraising. “It’s nice to know that we’re helping someone in need and we’re making a difference in other peoples lives.� The Pearls enjoy what they do and especially enjoy sharing their love of belly dancing with others. Every year the members work to put on their annual fundraiser. They do everything from organizing, to getting donated items, to being the entertainment. “It’s a lot of hard work but in the end its such a great feeling knowing where the funds are going and that we are helping someone in need,� says Poncelet. Previous support for their Telemiracle journeys have been good with the Pearls consistently breaking the previous years totals to keep on going higher themselves.

Laura Bergquist, Tasha Poncelet, Stefanie Lipinski, and Melissa Chegus dance with fan veils at the Prairie Pearls 4th Annual Dancing for a Miracle event on Feb. 27 in Quill Lake. The group will be dancing at Telemiracle at 12:20 am on Mar. 6. photo courtesy of the Prairie Pearl Facebook page Belly dancing is not what other people expect when they think of belly dancing. The dancers don’t just dance with their bellies. Dancers do use their whole bodies, laughs Poncelet. Dancing as a group helps share ideas, she says. “There are so many different genres involved with it, from Bollywood, to tribal style, to Eygptian and modern style.� The Pearls are also introducing flamenco dancing to their routine. Props are also a big part of their dances, from veils, fans, and wings, to sharp swords. “We’ve had some causalities over the years but nothing serious. Some cuts and scrapes.� Poncelet says that it is exciting to belly dance since they get to try something new every time they hit the stage.

Ducks Unlimited banquet brings funds to Humboldt Continued from page 3 Three local projects that will serve as important easements and conservation areas for Ducks Unlimited Humboldt were mentioned at the banquet. The Reineke B & K site is a section of land bought from Roger and Linda Reineke, who wanted to help out with Ducks Unlimited. Conservation runs in Roger’s family, so they wanted to do their part to conserve the Humboldt wetlands. Atamanchuk says the Reineke section has 20 restored wetlands, lots of native habitat, and seeded uplands for a rotational grazing system, says Atamanchuk. A section bought from Alex and Tim Saretsky by Wolverine pasture is also an important piece of land for Ducks Unlimited with 75 restored water basins.

Aaron Engele sold a valuable piece of land to Ducks Unlimited. The water that was on the section made it hard to farm and it fit the bill for Ducks Unlimited, says Atamanchuk. Engele also became a sponsor of Ducks Unlimited. “It was really nice to see him saying, ‘I like what you guys do, I’d like to put something back.’” Travis Behning, Manager of Events and Volunteer Relations for Northern Saskatchewan, says they want to make sure money is going to the right place, which is why the money is going to local projects such as the three mentioned. “We want to preserve as many wetlands as possible and we want to keep it as local as possible, so that’s where the money is going.”

Now, imagine what else you could do. Suppose you are on an adventure hike in a foreign location. Your tracker could be tracking the number of steps, heart rate, number of calories burnt and your entire hike using the built in GPS. I made mention of an app called Nike.

URBAN: Mary Sept. 19, 1921 - Feb. 19, 2016 Mary (nee Knoke) (Olchowski) Urban of Bethany Pioneer Village, Middle Lake, SK, (and formerly of Bruno, SK), passed away at her residence on Friday, February 19, 2016. She was 94 years of age. Mary, one of four daughters, was born on Monday, September 19, 1921, to Joseph and Mary (nee Schlosser) Knoke at home on their farm three miles north of Bruno. She grew up there and attended school in Bruno. Following her education, Mary helped on the farm and worked in various stores in Bruno. For a while, during the Second World War, she worked in Sudbury, ON. In 1944, she married Frank Olchowski. Nine children, four daughters and five sons, were born to them. Initially, Mary and Frank made their home on a farm near Dana. As the family grew, they moved to a farm near Bruno and, eventually, moved their home into town. Mary dedicated her life to family. She enjoyed gardening, berry picking, playing cards with friends and relatives, and quilting. Mary had a passion for music and loved singing and playing the accordion. Frank passed away on Saturday, November 1, 1975. On October 29, 1977, Mary married Roman Urban. They resided on his farm two-and-a-half miles northeast of Bruno. Together, they combined farm and town activities with many trips to Las Vegas, where they enjoyed the casinos. Mary performed with the Melodears, entertaining crowds with songs and skits at various places, especially for senior groups. Mary was widowed again, when Roman passed away on Saturday, July 4, 1998.

Church, Bruno, on Tuesday, February 23, 2016, at 7:30 p.m. The eulogy was delivered by Ron Olchowski. The Funeral Mass was offered at St. Bruno R.C.

BARNES: In loving memory of a husband, who I lost 5 years ago today, Mar. 3, 2011 Since that awful dreadful day God called you home to be with Him And took you away from me, I walk, I talk, I carry on When the sun pokes out its head But when darkness falls And evening comes I cannot go to bed For this is when I miss you The most of all I curl up into a ball And cry so many tears Watching the shadows missing you. My hero, My husband, My best friend No man could ever replace you No way to ease this pain I picture your smile and remember All the love you brought to me And until we meet again my love Just keep watching me From your cloud above.

All my love and sadly missed by your loving wife, Debbi.

In Loving Memory of

Mike Bain Husband and father, who was tragically killed March 1, 2003, near Irvine, AB in an alcohol related crash. I still miss your comforting laugh, Your smile, your strong hands That I always loved to hold, Your great sense of humor and Your love for me and Jordan. Always remembered, always loved,

Melanie

Dad

I wish I could go back in time. I love and miss you. I am growing up with you in my heart, Guiding me throughout my life.

In Loving Memory of

Mike Bain who, while assisting a fellow traveller, was tragically killed by an impaired driver, March 1, 2003 near Irvine, AB We never part from those we love No distance can divide For every day in memory We still walk side by side. You meant the world and more to us That nothing we can say Can tell the love that’s in our hearts As we think of you today. Greatly missed and loved by Dennis, Vyenda Jeff, Georgina Jennifer, Ty and Alanna

SCHMID: In loving memory of Wilfred July 03, 1927 - Nov 15, 2005 Ten years have gone past since the passing of our Dad. You are lovingly missed and remembered since the departure from our lives. Our community no longer echoes the tunes from the Accordion man and the Slough Grass Gang. Your grandchildren can no longer visit Grandpa at the farm. Gone are the late night Smear games with family and friends we all enjoyed in times past. The Schmid farm homestead will be preserved as your commitment to passion for life and the farming profession you loved. Our generation will be care takers of the family farm that meant so much to you and Mom. Eight years of restoration have gone into preservation of 1935 barn that soon will be sadly missed presence on the prairie landscapes. We miss you Dad, Lorne Schmid, Brian Schmid, Terry Schmid, Murray Schmid, Yvonne Reding

Hopefully everyone is enjoying the awesome weather hopefully it stays around. Welcome to the Month of March. Best wishes to anyone that is under the weather hope you feel better soon. Have a great week!

The benefits of a common herb By Dr. Megan Parker, ND Health Columnist

How many of you are familiar with the herb Allium sativum? I’m sure some of you right away know exactly what I’m talking about and others are confused by the Latin name for a very common herb: garlic. Garlic is a common staple in many individual’s diets, but are you aware of its many wonderful healing properties. Herbal Medicine is the use of plants for medicinal purposes. Leaves, flowers, roots, bark, stems, buds and all different parts of plants can be used depending on the plant and the effect you are hoping to achieve. Herbs can be used in a variety of forms including teas, tinctures, capsules or even eaten as a part of your diet. Garlic is often best known for its antimicrobial properties. It can actually help fight off infections and kill bugs that cause disease. One thing that is so great about garlic is that its antimicrobial properties are effective against viruses, bacteria, parasites, and yeasts making it very universal. Garlic is a great option for any digestive or respiratory infections causing illness. Consider increasing the amount of garlic you consume to help fight off a common cold or flu, bronchitis, sinusitis or H. pylori infections. Consuming garlic on a regular basis can also help prevent infections and keep your body strong and healthy. Used on a regular basis, garlic is able to help keep a tight balance on our intestinal flora. As humans, we have thousands of tiny bacteria living in our digestive tract on a regular basis. Don’t be squeamish. They actually help keep us healthy and perform functions for our digestive and immune systems that we aren’t able to do on our own. Having garlic as a regular part of your diet keeps tight control on this healthy flora of living organisms and makes sure that they are staying in the right balance and unhealthy and unwanted bacteria are unable to repopulate. Garlic also has a range of effects on our cardiovascular system. It is able to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Garlic can also help to raise HDL levels, which is our healthy form of cholesterol. We also get benefits with overall blood flow and blood vessel health from garlic. It prevents platelets from forming blockages in our arteries which can help reduce atherosclerosis, hypertension, thrombosis, heart attacks and strokes. Whether you already have heart disease or want to keep your heart healthy and prevent any concerns, add in a few cloves of garlic to your regular diet. There is also some preliminary research with garlic consumption and cancer prevention. Garlic has antioxidant properties which kill off free radicals which is one of the many potential causes for cancer growth and development. Epidemiological evidence is showing that it may be especially helpful against cancers of the gastrointestinal or digestive tract, likely due to its effects on balancing our intestinal flora. As with all good things, there are cautions and safety considerations that we need to watch for. At high doses, garlic may irritate the intestinal mucosa, causing nausea, diarrhea, vomiting or burning in the mouth. There is also a risk of contact dermatitis or skin irritation from topical exposure. At therapeutic doses (think supplements instead of dietary) it can interact with anticoagulant medications by thinning the blood too much. High doses can also interfere with the effects of anti-inflammatory medications. We should also use caution with therapeutic doses prior to surgery.

In order to optimize your health and capitalize on all the health benefits of garlic, you should consider eating one clove daily. During acute infections, add in one to three cloves daily to enhance the antimicrobial benefits to give your immune system a boost. Don’t forget that every time you eat, you have the choice to either fight disease or feed disease. Chose
