St. Benedict loses hotel in nasty fire

Rubble and smoke was all that was left of the St. Benedict hotel hours after a devastating fire tore through the building on April 18. photo by Becky Zimmer

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

A piece of St. Benedict history is gone.

The St. Benedict Hotel was lost in a fire in the wee hours of April 18.

Three Lakes Fire Department was originally called to look after the blaze, but quickly realized it was far too large and called in the Humboldt Fire Department.

Humboldt Fire Chief Mike Kwasnica, says they got the call at approxi-

mately 12:16 a.m. on April 18.

Nine members of Humboldt FD, as well as a tanker, command unit, and mini-pumper joined three members of the Three Lakes unit at the fire.

Kwasnica notes en route to the fire they called for more back up from Cudworth, who sent nine more members, as well as a tanker, and mini-pumper.

With the drive being approximately 57 km from Humboldt to St. Benedict, Kwasnica says by the time

they arrived on scene the building was engulfed in flames.

Crews from the three departments continued fighting the flames for a couple of hours.

With the building being fully engulfed by the time Humboldt arrived on scene, Kwasnica noted a large amount of water was required to fight the flames, which they did not have.

So, with water being difficult to come by, crews were forced to deplete St. Benedict’s drinking reservoir to nearly nothing, with Kwasnica guessing they used approximately 6,000 gallons from the reservoir.

Crews were also able to cut through the ice at a slew approximately a mile outside of St. Benedict, which was also used to help fight the fire.

Finally, by approximately 4:45 a.m. crews had the blaze under control enough that Cudworth was able to head home.

Humboldt stayed on scene for approximately another 45 minutes, says Kwasnica, before they eventually left the scene around 5:30 a.m.

Three Lakes meanwhile, stayed on scene for another couple of hours, says Kwasnica, as they needed to do some water shuttling back and forth to cool down what was left.

Kwasnica says no injuries were reported following the blaze, and says there was not anyone inside the hotel

at the time of the fire, noting from his knowledge the call was made by a neighbour.

The owner of the hotel was not home at the time, and was at another residence in St. Benedict the night of the fire, says Kwasnica.

The hotel, which also served as a bar was open the night of the fire, with Kwasnica guessing it closed somewhere around 8:30 p.m.

Kwasnica, a former St. Benedict resident, had been in the hotel just a couple weeks before the fire, and admits the loss is a huge one for the community.

“It was the last social gathering place that they had in their community… hopefully this doesn’t impact them too much.”

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, says Kwasnica, who notes that due to the building being a complete loss, the investigation will be more difficult to conduct.

“Normally we go from the most burnt to the least burnt, well on this one there’s not a whole lot of least burnt so if we can go by eye witness accounts or if they have an photographs that they’ve taken during the time between when we got called to when we arrived, that helps us out a lot.”

Anyone with any information is encouraged to call Humboldt Fire Department, says Kwasnica.

Watson - Englefeld hands out yearly awards

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

With snow melting and seasons turning to spring local wildlife federations are putting a close on 2017.

The Watson – Englefeld Wildlife Federation was the latest to host their annual banquet on April 7.

This year ’s banquet featured 230 diners, from a club that toted a 2017 membership total of 256, says president Trevor Athmer.

The banquet, which featured a dinner, awards night, silent auction, and live auction is an important part of the federation’s year, said Athmer because it is one of their Seth Hoffman shows off his fish he catch during last year’s fishing season. largest fundraisers.

The kids love the awards, says Athmer because The trout pond will be used in conjunction with both the school and Fish in Schools (FinS) Program. they like going up to get the trophy that gets handed The FinS Program sees fish tanks installed into out with the award.

For the adults, it is much more about being entered classrooms in the schools, with Athmer noting the goal is to get one in both the Englefeld and Watson provincially, said Athmer, who noted a number of their members were acknowledged by the provincial schools.

Once the fish tanks are installed, classes are given wildlife federation.

With a number of these animals taken locally, trout eggs, and those eggs are hatched and grown into a fry, where they are released into the trout pond.

The LeRoy Wildlife Federation held their annual awards banquet on April 21, their biggest fundraiser of the year, says Federation President, Rod Bernauer.

Money raised will go towards upkeep of the Wildlife Hall, stocking the trout pond southwest of LeRoy Leisureland and sending two youth members of their organization to Saskatchewan Wildlife summer camp at Candle Lake, says Bernauer.

The trout pond is open to anyone who wants to fish with 450 trout put into the pond last year.

Members will be working to pump water into the pond to get it ready for fishing and restocking.

Two youth between the ages of 12-15, one male and one female, will be chosen among the LeRoy Wildlife Federation membership to go to the week long camp at Candle Lake with the club covering the camp costs.

The two youth will be chosen at a later date, says Bernauer.

Three awards were given out that evening following the horn measuring the club hosted in December.

Travis and Kayla Keintz both took awards for typical white-tail in the male and female categories, and London Keintz took the award for youth walleye.

The club is doing well, if not a little slow on membership with around 50-60 members currently with a wide range of ages, says Bernauer.

Alberta shut out of Stanley Cup fun

By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

There’s no joy in Cowtown this spring as the Stanley Cup playoffs unfold all across North America. As for the City of Champions where the Oilers play? That’s a title right out of Comedy Central.

It wasn’t supposed to be this way in Alberta. No playoff hockey this spring. And prospects are dim for much of a different story next year.

So what happened? The Calgary Flames made the playoffs last year and even though they went out in the first round against the Anaheim Ducks, coach Glen Gulutzan and general manager Brad Treliving did nothing but strengthen the roster in the off-season, adding goalie Mike Smith, getting long in the tooth at 36, and defenceman Travis Harmonic, among others.

Sophomore Matthew Tkachuk nearly doubled his goal output, scoring 24 after a 13-goal rookie season.

In Edmonton, Oilers fans were proclaiming their club as a team of the future after a decade languishing in the lower depths of the league and building a supposed powerhouse with a raft of high first-round draft picks.

Connor McDavid, the best player in the world, would be the centrepiece of the resurgence but after a playoff appearance and a first-round victory last spring, the Oilers hit the dysfunction button this year and never came close to making the playoffs.

Fans in both cities are calling for changes, but what can anyone expect? Treliving mortgaged a good chunk of Calgary’s immediate future by trading draft picks in the Smith and Harmonic acquisitions. As a result, Calgary has neither a first- or second-round draft choice this summer. Oilers fans are calling for the head of GM

Peter Chiarelli, who two years ago traded an A-list forward, Taylor Hall, to New Jersey for a B-list defenceman, Adam Larsson. Oilers fans drool at the thought of a never-will-happen offence led by McDavid and Hall.

To date, Gulutzan and Edmonton’s Todd McLellan still have their head-coaching jobs, and probably don’t deserve to hit the unemployment line this summer, but you can’t fire the players, right? The Winnipeg Jets and Toronto Maple Leafs seem to have found the right answers after years of suffering, and there’s no doubt power in the NHL is cyclical, so while the Flames and Oilers look for roster improvement, their fans would be advised to draft Patience No. 1 if they had a pick. *Note* This article was written prior to Calgary Flames head coach Glen Gulutzan’s firing on April 17.

Viscount news

By Sandra Reid Correspondent On April 13, the RM of Viscount held their 38th annual Ratepayers Supper and Social at the Plunkett Community Centre. Approximately 130 people gathered for a delicious meal catered by the Plunkett Community, which included interesting speakers and local entertainment.

Reports were heard from Reeve Gordon Gusikoski, former Fire Chief of the Viscount Volunteer Fire Department, Patrick Clavelle, and Mickey Palfy, the Division 5 APAS Director. Saskatoon RCMP Detachment Staff Sergeant, Kevin Williamson, presented on Rural Crime and the importance of reporting all crime to the RCMP, and Nadia Mori from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture

educated the guests on identifying the Diffuse Knapweed, which has been located in a few locations throughout the municipality. The musical talents of Alternate Rhythm (Shayne and Pauline Quiring of Viscount), provided the evening entertainment to wrap things up.

All in all it was a great evening full of information, good food, fun and fellowship!

What a turn-out that we had for Blankets for Canada. Eleven ladies met at the Viscount Library on April 16, all of them busily sewing away while catching up on news.

We were given many beautiful knitted and crocheted squares to work with, so we can keep making our blankets for a good while yet.

It is greatly appreciated everyone who

gives us a hand. We love getting together to work on making these blankets. They are well received by each organization we deliver them to.

Please give Evelina a call at 1-306-9444820 if you would like more information on what we are about.

Thank you.

On April 16, the Viscount Seniors held their morning coffee and visiting, then in the afternoon, many games of pool and cribbage were enjoyed by all those in attendance.

On April 21, the Viscount Seniors held their fundraiser breakfast. There were 26 people that attended. Workers were Chris Rault and Karen Dale. The Lucky Looney Pot winner was Chris Rault.

Welcome Spring It took a long time coming but it is

here, and what a fast melt. Hopefully that works for everyone. I found three colourful Easter Eggs that were missed from the grandchildrens Easter Egg hunt, not bad!

On April 18, I was given a lovely come and go retirement, at the Young Co-op.

A great selection of goodies and refreshments were available throughout the day. It was a very special day with alot of great visitors. I really appreciated all the work that was done to prepare for my special day, and for the events that took place along with all the visiting.

What a fantastic day!

Best wishes to anyone that is under the weather, hope you feel better soon.

Thank you to all that helped make this weeks news possible.

Have a fantastic week.

Benefits the selling point in modified Golden Rice

Calvin Daniels An interesting approval was granted recently

by Health Canada which could have some rather large consequences moving forward.

The federal department has approved the sale of a genetically modified crop

Provitamin A Biofortified Rice Event GR2E, otherwise known as Golden Rice.

What makes this interesting is the crop isn’t intended for sale in this country.

Golden Rice was created to help children in developing countries suffering from vitamin A deficiency. The rice contains high levels of Provitamin A. So why seek approval here?

It seems probable that proponents of the crop are building a portfolio of approvals as they move toward entering the key

target markets for Golden Rice.

The International Rice Research Institute has received regulatory approval not only in Canada, but Australia and New Zealand even though the crop is said not be sold in those countries. The institute’s real goal is to achieve regulatory approval to grow and sell the rice in the Philippines, Bangladesh, India and Indonesia, but it has yet to submit applications in those markets. Having background data and previous approvals is likely seen as a way to get their foot in the door, or to put

any application on a solid foundation.

Now genetically modified (GM) crops are still facing considerable opposition from a public scared of the science and where such modifications might go whether being pushed ever further in the lab, or through later mutation and evolution on the field.

But Golden Rice could go a long way to changing those attitudes because there is a direct consumer benefit.

Most of the approved and widely grown GM crops are designed to allow broader use of specific herbicides thanks to

tolerances established in the crops.

It’s a double whammy for leery consumers, a genetically modified crop that allows for greater use of herbicides.

Golden Rice is designed to help address child malnutrition in developing countries, which puts a rather different spin on the benefit of GM. There will be those who see the Health Canada approval as Canada becoming a proponent of GM, and that they should stay out of the debate, especially in the case of a crop not sold here.

But, Health Canada

does have responsibilities to deal with the applications it receives, and if the science shows Golden Rice to be safe, then it is difficult to justify anything other than approval.

In terms of the larger picture of GM, Golden Rice is what the best of the technology can be, the modification of a crop to the direct benefit for consumers.

It is easier to convince someone of the value of GM when they can see a direct benefit. A farmer having access to a particular weed killer is far from that in a consumer’s mind.

Pioneer Village offering up the laughs for Cellar

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Patrice and the idiot hold back Franklin, who was teleported into his wife, Janetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, body during the Bethany Pioneer Village dinner theatre production of The Science of Murder in the Cellar on April 18-21. Money raised during the third annual production will continue to go into renovating the Cellar.

Middle Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bethany Pioneer Village continues to work on their basement fundraisers with their third annual Dinner Theatre.

This year â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance had the audience guessing once again during the murder mystery, The Science of Murder.

Eight actors brought the mystery to the Village with all of them having some connection to Bethany, whether through a relative who was a resident to being a member of the staff.

St. Brieux manor a third of the way to new care facility

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

The need is there for a personal care facility in St. Brieux and, thanks to fundraising efforts, the project is a third of the way funded.

Fundraising efforts continued during the St. Brieux Manor auction on April 21.

St. Brieux Manor Inc. Board of Directors chair Pauline Boyer says they had a wide variety of items up for auction to raise money for the project with donations made from across the area, including from Humboldt, Melfort, Prince Albert, and Cudworth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People were extremely generous and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really pleased with the response from local and neighbouring communities...all those areas are very generous.â&#x20AC;?

The fundraising committee is aiming to raise $3.5 million for the project with the goal being to raise three-quarters of the final total before beginning construction, says Boyer.

The land for the project has been purchased, geotech analysis done, and plans have been drawn up for the 20 unit facility.

As soon as they have the funds, they are ready to go, she says.

The facility will have a common kitchen and dining area, including some smaller gathering spaces for private functions.

Watrous welcomes province for 25th dance festival

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

The sounds of music and happy feet could be heard throughout the Winston High School gym, as Watrous School of Dance hosted their 25th annual Watrous Dance Festival.

The festival, which ran April 13-15, featured over 550 dancers and over 600 dances from 17 schools, and 15 communities, including Watson, Hudson Bay, St. Brieux, Saskatoon, Bruno, Cudworth, Kelvington, Viscount, Imperial, Humboldt, Warman, Clavet, Allan, Raymore, and Watrous.

Dancers competed in a number of different competitions including classical ballet pointe, musical theatre, modern, contemporary, tap, classical ballet, demi-character ballet, hip hop, jazz, song and dance, lyrical, acrodance, open, production, character ballet, student choreography, and teacher feature.

With the club celebrating their silver jubilee, they decided to add some silver star awards this year, says dance fest co-chair Gaylene Sundquist.

Silver stars were handed out to 44 dancers for anything the judge wanted, including some for having wavey hips.

The stars carried a minimum of $25, says Sun-

dquist, who notes the stars were a way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the festival.

“They were just to add a little bit more excitement.

We also had the adjudicators themselves present it so there was a little bit more interaction between the adjudicators and the dancers.”

With the festival celebrating its 25th anniversary, Sundquist says looking back it is a testament of the community that they have been able to last for 25 years.

“They support us a lot. Without them we wouldn’t have such a successful dance festival every year.”

In terms of success, this year was no different, says Sundquist, who noted the club had so many teams looking to enter they actually had to turn some of them away.

“I think it just speaks to our level of awards. We have really good awards. We have a great facility, Winston High, we’re so grateful that they let us use their facility for the weekend because if they didn’t we wouldn’t be able to host such a large scale event,” says Sundquist Of course, the festival is also a major fundraiser for the club, with Sundquist noting all money raised helps cover club costs.

“It keeps costs down. It gets funneled directly back into the club to pay for mileage and teachers. And we own our own building so that’s always an expense as well… every dollar that we earn goes right back into the club.”

The festival, can also serve as a bit of a recruiting tool, says Sundquist who says they try to encourage young kids to come watch the dances in hopes that they too will become interested in dance.

Overall, Sundquist was pleased with how the weekend went, noting they were busy right from day one.

“The gym was full all weekend. And our food booth was really busy and the clubs that came were great. We have really good clubs that come they’re easy to deal with and we really enjoy interacting with them.”

Next year’s date has already been picked, with the 26th annual dance festival set for April 5-7 but Sundquist says they will be taking some time before ramping up for next year.

“We’d just like to take a breath for a couple of weeks and go back to our own life,” she laughed.

“And then by fall, early fall, we’ll have our packages available.”

Kuroki, Rose Valley combine for 16 provincial medals

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

Karatekas from across the province descended upon Wadena on April 14 for the 2018 Saskatchewan Karate Association Provincial Spring Tournament.

A pair of local rural clubs enjoyed a solid amount of success at the championship, with both Rose Valley and Kuroki taking home multiple medals.

Kuroki Kuroki, who split hosting duties with the Wadena Karate Club, picked up eight medals including two gold, four silver, and two bronze.

Kuroki’s most successful karateka was Jeremy Andreas, who was the lone member

from the Kuroki club to capture a pair of individual medals as he finished first in Kumite Adult Male Novice, and second in Kata Adult Male Novice.

Joining Andreas as a multiple medal winner was Jameson Lowey, who captured a silver medal in the male 10 and under novice Kata competition, and teamed up with Max Olson and Michael Jaworski to capture silver in the Team Kata 13 and Under Novice event.

The remaining four medals came in individual events, and were won by four different karatekas.

The Kata Adult Female Black Belt competition was an extremely successful one

for the Kuroki club as they won two of the three medals in the discipline as Shelley Fitch claimed silver, and Ona Murias the bronze.

Kristen Fitch enjoyed a solid competition in her own right as she claimed the provincial title in the Kata Adult Female Advanced competition.

Rounding out the Kuroki medal winners was Scott Roberg, who claimed bronze in the Kata Adult Male Advanced event.

Rose Valley Rose Valley also enjoyed a solid amount of success at the provincial championships as they brought home eight medals of their own, including one gold, five silver, and two

bronze.

Rose Valley’s lone gold came in the Kata Male 11-13 Intermediate competition, as Michael Volman claimed the provincial title.

Volman claimed a second provincial medal, when he teamed up with Corwin Hartl and Tanner Housden to claim silver in the Team Kata 13 and Under Intermediate/Advanced competition.

Castor Berezuik also brought home a pair of provincial medals finishing second in both the Kumite Male 11-13 Advances competition and in the Kata Male 11-13 Intermediate event.

While Michael Volman won a pair of provincial med-

als, two other Volman’s also reached the podium as Kaitlyn Volman teamed up with Justina Guilbault and Ambriel Lowey to claim the bronze in the Team Kata 13 and Under Novice competition.

Laura Volman meanwhile, claimed a silver medal of her own, finishing second in the Kata Adult Female Advanced competition.

Joining Laura on the second step of the Kata Adult Advanced event was Morgan Faye, who finished second in the male competition.

Rounding out the Rose Valley medal winners was Jonathan Tokar, who claimed a bronze in the Kumite Male 11-13 Intermediate discipline.

SaskPower warning of new aspect of old scam

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

SaskPower is seeing an increase in the sophistication and frequency of scams involving their company in the past week.

But scammers are doing something new by requesting payment through crypto currency, like bitcoin.

“This is not something that we would ever do but something they want to do because it’s untraceable,” says Jonathan Tremblay with SaskPower.

As with previous scams, scammers have been contacting residents through phone, email, and text messages saying that bills are overdue and threatening to cut power to the residence.

This is not how SaskPower, as with other utility operations, operates.

“SaskPower will never ask you to

purchase pre-paid payment cards or crypto currency (like bitcoin), or give credit card information over the phone (and) we never send financial transactions through text messaging, email or social media,” said the www. saskpower.com website.

If anyone does receive a request for information from SaskPower, they should be wary of the person at the other end and not to click any links, whether they are in a text, email, or on a webpage.

While SaskPower would like to hear feedback from customers, they will never use online pop-up ads or pop-up surveys, said the website.

Spelling of URLs are an obvious indicator of a scam site with a slight change of spelling allowing scammers to impersonate a site.

FIRST WE RAISED THE BAR. NOW WE'RE LOWERING THE PRICE.

“The impersonating website can even look like ours, but the links within can be harmful. Being on an imposter site doesn’t mean your computer has been compromised, but we recommend you keep your antivirus software upIf people do become a victim of fraud, the RCMP gives these steps on their Scams and Fraud webpage, http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/scamsfraudes.

What to do if you are a victim: Step 1: Gather all information about the fraud. This includes documents, receipts, copies of emails and/or text messages.

Step 2: Report the incident to your local police. This ensures that they are aware of which scams are targeting their residents and businesses.

Keep a log of all your calls and record all file or occurrence numbers.

Step 3: Contact the Canadian AntiFraud Centre.

dated to be sure.”

No matter what kind of scam, SaskPower emphasizes the importance of hanging up and reporting the incident to both the organization and Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1(888)495-8501.

Step 4: Report the incident to the financial institution where the money was sent (e.g., money service business such as Western Union or MoneyGram, bank or credit union, credit card company or internet payment service provider).

Step 5: If the fraud took place online through Facebook, eBay, a classified ad such as Kijiji or a dating website, be sure to report the incident directly to the website. These details can be found under “report abuse” or “report an ad.”

Step 6: Victims of identity fraud should place flags on all their accounts and report to both credit bureaus, Equifax and TransUnion.

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor While the amount of April snow and cold temperatures were a bit concerning for the average citizen, ministry of environment and agriculture insiders say there is no sign of permanent damage as spring starts to make an appearance in Saskatchewan.

April was a guessing game of below average temperatures throughout the month with April 13 being the first of spring to rise above 0.

Cory Jacob, Crops Extension Specialist with the Government of Saskatchewan based out of Watrous says this will push seeding back a bit but these low temperatures are not giving farmers a reason to panic yet.

Travelling around southern Saskatchewan, there is very little snow left in the fields while further north is more dire.

The worst that will happen, says Jacob, is that farmers will have to make some rotational decisions and plant seed that has a shorter growing season.

If the window gets really tight, producers will be working harder and longer hours to get their crop in the ground as soon as conditions improve, which we do not want to see, says Jacob.

During a normal Saskatchewan spring, producers around the Humboldt area usually get seeding around the first or second week in May. With the current condition, Jacob says producers may have to wait until that time to even get scratching in their fields.

Looking ahead, Jacob says we are needing nighttime temperatures above zero and some decent daytime temperatures to get the snow gone and the soil to warm up.

Producers are going to need to be patient while waiting for optimal growing conditions.

“As long as they’re not jumping the gun we will be fine,” says Jacob.

While Saskatchewan has had some early starts in previous years,

Jacob recalls 2013 where producers were also late getting into the fields and yet it was a phenomenal year for Saskatchewan crops.

“End of April 2013, there was still lots of snow in the country and guys pulled off the best crop ever. It’s not quite time to panic yet.”

While it is not time yet for producers to change growing plans, worst case scenario might be switching to early maturity crops such as barley and oats, says Jacob.

Just like the agriculture industry, Bruce McLarty, Conservation Officer based out of the Humboldt office, is also not concerned with recent low temperatures.

Some migratory birds, like snow geese, have had a later return because of low temperatures but with the April 20-22 weekend bringing significant snow melt, McLarty says that spring nesting should not be impacted by early April temperatures.

While deer are built to last long Saskatchewan winters, extra snow cover could have made it difficult for them to find food in later April.

They can reach that point where their fat reserves are stretched further than normal.

More snow has meant deer sticking closer to roads and railway tracks since clear highways are easier for them to travel.

McLarty says they have seen a significant number of dead deer because of this.

White-tail deer especially could be having problems but McLarty says they have not seen enough significant die-offs to be concerned.

“We have had a couple reports of dead deer but it’s too early to tell how bad it could get...there’s always going to be a few die-offs but if it’s really bad it’s hard to say.”

With current snow conditions, deer are sticking together in larger herds since they found a food source and sticking to it. With significant melt coming in the forecast, this should mean herds will disperse in the likelihood of more food available.

Province to do extensive clubroot survey

By Devan C. Tasa Recorder Editor Because clubroot has been detected in crop districts 9A and 9B, the northwest part of Saskatchewan, the province is preparing a survey to learn more about the extent of the problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been detected in less than ten commercial canola fields,â&#x20AC;? said Victoria Nameth, a crop specialist based in Tisdale.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because clubroot has been detected in the province this past summer, what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing is a more extensive clubroot survey this coming year.â&#x20AC;?

Clubroot is a soilborne disease caused by a microbe, Plasmodiophora brassicae.

It affects the roots of cruciferous field crops like canola. White galls grow on the root, making it hard for the plant to gather nutrients.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spread when infected soil hitches a ride on equipment, trucks and shoes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly found in B.C., Ontario, QuĂŠbec and the Atlantic provinces, and has taken root in Alberta.

The survey will examine 1,800 fields in Saskatchewan, starting from all across the north and then heading south down the east side of the province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re surveying one field in every township and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a randomized survey,â&#x20AC;?

Nameth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the process of letting people know that we are doing the survey because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to know where it is in the province and see how severe it is so we can have better management practices to control the disease.â&#x20AC;?

The crop specialist explained what the survey would look like. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go to the field entrance and look for symptoms of the disease and then theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to take soil samples,â&#x20AC;? Nameth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If symptoms are observed, then theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to look for more symptoms in a W-shaped pattern a little further into the field.â&#x20AC;?

Soil samples will be taken to a lab to look for Plasmodiophora brassicae spores. The survey is not that invasive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing is taking a little shovel and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only grabbing a little bit of soil in the top six inches of the soil,â&#x20AC;?

Nameth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably taking a litre of soil, not even.â&#x20AC;?

While the best way to identify the disease is looking at the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roots, out in the field, one might see irregular patterns of yellowing or dying off. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s observed, the suggestion is to look at the roots, as those symptoms can be produced by other diseases like sclerotinia.

If a producer suspects they have clubroot, the agriculture ministry recommends contacting an agrologist to create a management plan. They added that ministry staff can help with a diagnosis.

Nameth said producers should be paying attention to how soil is transferred and should be considering more frequent crop rotations to help slow the spread of the disease.

Keep Calm and Moo-ve On â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cattle Handling Methods and Facilities

By Alicia Sopatyk Regional Livestock Specialist, Tisdale Regional Services Branch Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vaccinating, processing or moving cattle from one quarter to another, handling cattle safely and efficiently requires proper facilities and methods.

Cattle are natural prey animals and therefore have a strong fight or flight response. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re handled calmly, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be more likely to go back to the feed bunk sooner resulting in better performance. First and foremost, your livestock need to be familiar with you and whoever may be helping you handle them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about putting the right amount of pressure on the animal to move them but knowing when to back off. The flight zone can be used to our advantage when handling cattle, however staying calm is the key to success. Going into calving we also canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget about maternal instincts; anticipate aggression and always have an exit plan.

Stockmanship experts like Curt Pate can teach us a lot in terms of handling our livestock and designing facilities, even when we think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got it cased. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in learning more, join us at the Saskatchewan Ranch Management Forum in Moose Jaw from February 9 to11, 2018, and hear Curt Pate speak about cattle handling facilities and stockmanship. This event boasts an informative agenda with topics ranging from nutrition and water quality to marketing, taxes and succession planning. For more informa-

Facilities are the next part of the equation.

There are many different manufacturers but the important point is to select a system that will work for you to adequately restrain your livestock in a safe and efficient manner. This also includes penning and paneling leading up to the sorting tub/chute area. Technology and fresh perspectives are continuing to bring advancements to handling equipment not only to improve safety, but to improve efficiency, too. One example is a head-catch attachment that cups the head of the cow against another bar in order to restrain her head. This eliminates the need for halters and pinched fingers!

Upgrading may cost money, but it can be totally worthwhile when it comes to handler safety and time. The Saskatchewan Verified Beef Production (VBP) Plus Program offers a 50 per cent rebate to a maximum of $750 per producer or 50 per cent up to $2,000 per VBP registered producer on eligible equipment such as chute neck extenders, livestock weigh scales and record keeping software.

Organics the right option for Saskatchewan producers

photo courtesy of Marla Carlson

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor Organic production in Saskatchewan makes up 29 per cent of Canadian organic acres in production.

For some producers, that is the right option for them, says Marla Carlson, Executive Director of Sask Organics.

In Saskatchewan, just over a million acres are under organic production by over 900 certified organic farmers and 31 certified organic livestock producers in production.

For these producers, they operate without use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides or the use of genetically modified organisms, says Carlson.

Instead producers use precision tillage equipment, crop rotation, and an approved list of biological inputs to control pests and weeds, she says.

Certain standards are also needed to retain their organic certification, including a yearly audit and a buffer zone between organic and non-organic fields as a way to maintain organic integrity.

Even with these differences in production, Carlson says they still have a lot in common with nonorganic farmers. We all grow food, she says.

“How a farmer farms is completely a personal choice.”

From health issues, like a sensitivity to chemicals used on their operation, to environmental decisions, to business decisions, each

producer has their own reason for choosing to farm organically.

The current market for organic is choice enough for some producers with Carlson saying that market prices can be between 150-300 per cent higher for organic products compared to conventional products.

“For example,” she says, “an organic flax trades at around $36 a bushel compared to conventional flax which is around $14-15 a bushel.”

No matter what the reasoning, organic farming has to work for the producer, says Carlson.

Organic production is based on four guiding principles: • Fairness — organic agriculture should build on relationships that ensure fairness with regard to the common environment and life opportunities.

• Care — organic agriculture should be managed in a precautionary and responsible manner to protect the health and well-being of current and future generations and the environment.: • Health — organic agriculture should sustain and enhance the health of soil, plants, animals, humans, and the planet as one and indivisible.

• Ecology — organic agriculture should be based on living ecological systems and cycles, work with them, emulate them, and help sustain them.

Government plans new grain bag recycling program

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter With spring seemingly just around the corner, so too is the early stages of seeding.

The calendar is just days away from flipping to May and as such farmers will have their sights set on getting seed in the ground.

Of course, warmer weather and some field work needs to be done prior to seeding but once that seed hits the ground, what becomes of the grain bags?

With businesses and governments becoming more environmentally friendly, the Government of Saskatchewan came out with a new recycling program aimed at those pesky grain bags.

The program, which launched in March, provides a responsible option for producers to return the large, heavy bags for recycling, with the intention being to prevent environmental harm from open burning or improper disposal.

“They care deeply about sustainability, and are aware of how their actions today could affect future generations. Our members will be pleased to see the launch of this program.”

While REACT does not plan anything special to assist in this program, CEO Wendy Yaworski notes they do intend on improving the grain bag drop off location at the Humboldt landfill, which will remain open once it transitions to a transfer station.

They also plan on adding drop off locations at their R.M. of Hoodoo and R.M. of LeRoy landfill sites.

The program is a spin off of sorts for the province, who ran a similar program over the last number of years.

“The Ministry of Agriculture funded a grain bag recycling pilot program from 2011 to 2017, operated by Simply Agriculture Solutions. Through the program, 4,209 metric tonnes of material was shipped to recyclers – equivalent to approximately 28,000 grain bags,” noted the press release.

The new program will include an environmental handling fee of $0.25 per kilogram, which will be paid at the point of purchase, says the press release.

“I’m pleased that our province is a leader in agricultural plastics recycling, and that our producers and sellers will have a program for grain bags to be responsibly recycled to protect our environment.”

The recycling program will be operated

With the assistance of some provincial funding from the Ministry of Agriculture, Cleanfarms will establish 20 grain bag collection sites in 2018, with more planned for 2019, says the press release.

An agricultural economics professor is predicting more volatility in the markets, but also more opportunities

By Devan C. Tasa Recorder Editor David Kohl, who teaches at Virginia Tech, spoke about his thoughts about the future of agriculture markets at an event in Tisdale March 28.

“There will be more opportunity in agriculture in the next 15 years than there has been in the last 30 to 40 years, but there’s going to be more opportunity to fail,” he said.

He said that while our parents might have had to deal with volatility in economics, we will have to deal with it in extremes.

“Volatility is good but it’s bad,” he said. “If you are a proactive manager and you can plan, manage, strategize, execute and monitor, you’re going to be able to capitalize on volatility, but if

you’re reactive, volatility will take you out.”

Kohl said the biggest risk agriculture producers face right now is in international trade.

“I will tell you, whether it’s NAFTA or it’s TPP, it’s very important. Why? Because both of our countries, we are exporters of agricultural products. If we’ve got export markets, we’re okay. If not, we’re in trouble.”

Yet U.S. president Donald Trump keeps making noises that could affect international markets.

Already, his murmurings about tearing up NAFTA have caused Mexico to look for other places to get its imports. Instead of importing, for example, milk from the U.S., they instead are importing from Europe, which has an over-

supply due to trade sanctions with Russia.

The Chinese are also becoming more active internationally, helping other countries develop infrastructure so they can get the raw materials to feed and employ their population.

Kohl’s also expecting interest rates to increase.

“Now you have to be thinking about interest rate increases and how it impacts the bottom line.”

The professor said producers that are doing cash flow statements will be able to figure out how a rate increase would affect them. He’s expecting the U.S. is aiming to bring interest rates back to the ‘normal rate’, around six per cent, after a long period of low rates.

The other item producers will have to keep an eye out on is weather.

“You’re going to find that weather and weather applications to farming is going to be one of the things that’s strategically in your top 10 things you’re going to have to do.”

Weather is one of those risks that farmers will have to deal with, especially if it becomes more extreme. On the other hand, if the weather is dry in East Texas, that could mean that prices could increase temporarily.

Overall, the global economy is in transition, with trade structures and consumer demands in flux. It is those that do the little things five per cent better that will perform well.

Monitors for Livestock Winter Watering Systems – A Demonstration Project

By Alicia Sopatyk Regional Livestock Specialist, Tisdale Regional Services Branch Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, and Charlotte Asplind, AAg Watershed Manager Carrot River Valley Watershed Association Livestock require water in good quality and sufficient quantity. Direct access to the source can easily provide the required quantity, but quality of the water, bank stability and animal safety become a concern.

Remote or off-site watering systems can alleviate the need for direct access, yet reliability is often cited as a major (and valid) concern. And while site visits to check the water system also present a good opportunity to check the herd and refresh min-

erals, they can be time consuming. Monitoring technologies are becoming available to producers wanting to remote-monitor their water systems. With the help of the ADOPT (Agriculture Demonstration of Practices and Technologies) program, the Carrot River Valley Watershed Association conducted a demonstration of two monitors for livestock winter watering systems.

The first system was low-tech and low-cost; simply a beacon light wired to a secondary float in the water trough. The second system was high-tech and highercost; a cellular game camera that takes pictures on a user-defined schedule, sending them directly to the application on the user’s cell phone. The low-tech system was simple to wire, but the light needed to be visible from the yard or road, presenting limitations in

remote watering sites. The producer partner also noted that it could be improved by adding a second, different-colored, light – one set to go off when the trough doesn’t fill and one set to go off when the trough over-fills. On the other hand, the high-tech system required more settings and configuration up-front, but once the schedule was set and functioning, the pictures proved invaluable.

The high-tech system held up in extremely cold temperatures and provided good quality pictures two to three times a day.

Ensuring livestock have a secure water source is beneficial from production, animal health and environmental standpoints, as well as a consumer viewpoint.

Regardless of the type of system, it should be monitored to ensure it is working properly and providing good quality water to your

Unilever Canada donates to STARS in wake of tragedy

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter With the tragedy involving the Humboldt Broncos, a number of people have been looking to help.

That includes Unilever Canada, who announced they would be making a $25,000 donation to Shock Trauma Air Force Rescue Service (STARS) in wake of the recent tragedy.

“All of us have been touched and saddened by the shocking news coming out of Humboldt, Saskatchewan,” noted Unilever Canada president and general manager Gary Wade, in a press release.

Wade noted like so many others Unilever Canada wanted to reach out to the community in some way, and felt this was a good way of doing that.

“ S TA R S w e re amongst the first responders to the accident on (April 6),” he noted.

“STARS in a registered charity, which offers life-saving transport to critically ill and injured patients and provides a vital service in rural areas across Wester n Canada.

STARS helped several of the survivors reach nearby hospitals after the accident.”

Unilever Canada has a major connection to the community of Humboldt, as one of

Canada Thistle in Your Field

By Paige Straf Agriculture Summer Extension Student, Prince Albert Ministry of Agriculture Canada thistle is known to be an invasive species in many places in North America, including Saskatchewan. As an invasive species, this weed has an advantage that allows it to out-compete native plants or agricultural crops for space, moisture and nutrients. It will often shade other plants in turn reducing their growth. Canada thistle sometimes can cause greater reduction in crop yields than any other broadleaf weed in Western Canada. It often has a negative impact on the biodiversity of rangelands as well.

Canada thistle can be identified by: â&#x20AC;˘ Leaves: Long, shiny dark green, irregularly lobed with sharp spines on the leaf edges, and they alternate on the stem. You will definitely want gloves on if you try to pick one. â&#x20AC;˘ Stems: are only slightly prickly. The height of the stems range from approximately 30 cm to 122 cm. â&#x20AC;˘ Flowers: Rose purple to light pink with multiple flower heads on each stem. They will bloom from June to the beginning of September. â&#x20AC;˘ Roots: Thick, fleshy tap roots that once established create an extensive and deep root system that can spread quickly and be challenging to

control. New â&#x20AC;&#x153;cloneâ&#x20AC;? plants grow easily from any root segments that may be left in the ground. â&#x20AC;˘ Seeds: White feathery tufts, similar to dandelions, that disperse via the air but often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t travel far from the mother plant. Seeds remain viable usually from three to six years but have been known to last as long as 21 years! Seeds contribute to the vigorous spread of this hardy weed. â&#x20AC;˘ Habitat: Croplands, but also tame or native pastures, gardens, roadsides, shelterbelts and gravel pits.

Implementing integrated pest management (IPM) is a recommended strategy to help reduce pests such as weeds. IPM involves cultural controls but also chemical, mechanical and biological controls as well. While it has been challenging to find an easy to use biological control specific to Canada thistle, there are still several effective strategies that are helpful to lessen the amount of the weed. It is important to remember using only one strategy is not the best approach. For example, while chemical use is a successful way to eliminate Canada thistle in your field, the overuse of it, especially as a sole means of control, can contribute to herbicide resistance of weeds. For the positive impact to be the greatest, use combinations of as many strategies as possible along with the following steps: â&#x20AC;˘ Prevention â&#x20AC;&#x201C; primarily through cultural prac-

tices, such as crop rotations or seed spacing, that help the crop to out complete weeds. â&#x20AC;˘ Monitoring and forecasting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is important to be able to identify your weed, and understand its lifecycle in order to predict the problems it will cause. â&#x20AC;˘ Intervention â&#x20AC;&#x201C; scouting your field helps to know where and when to implement a strategy. â&#x20AC;˘ Evaluation and record keeping â&#x20AC;&#x201C; knowing what worked, where it worked and how it worked will aid in future plans when it comes to weed reduction.

Crop rotations that are often used to minimize Canada thistle include winter wheat or competitive forages (eg. alfalfa or sweet clover). These crop rotations should be implemented for three to four years. Tillage is mechanical strategy that is actually discouraged when it comes to thistle because root pieces will be chopped and only moved around in the field. Little or no tillage is ideal because it also helps to minimize erosion.

Trimming the flowers of the plant before it sets to seed is a mechanical strategy that is highly recommended.

For more information, or for questions on identification, reduction strategies, or chemical control of Canada thistle please contact your local Regional Crop Specialist or the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377.

Prince Albert pulls out of Wapiti Regional Library

By Devan C. Tasa For the Humboldt Journal

The divorce between the Wapiti Regional Library and Prince Albertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John M. Cuelenaere Public Library has been finalized.

Prince Albert council voted to pass the third reading of a bylaw establishing a municipal library separate from Wapiti March 26. Before that, there were only two independent municipal libraries in Saskatchewan: Regina, which has eight branches, and Saskatoon, which has nine.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as Wapiti and the John M. Cuelenaere Public Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerned, our two organizations basically separated on March 26 operationally and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing our own thing,â&#x20AC;? said Tony Murphy, Wapitiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional director.

The provincial education ministry confirmed it has signed the order to separate the two libraries.

The separation process has been four years in the making. In the summer of 2016, the City of Prince Albert informed the residents within Wapitiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

boundaries it was separating and held public consultations. Humboldt, Tisdale, Melfort, Nipawin and Hudson Bay, Wapitiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest libraries outside of Prince Albert, were among the many voices opposing the plan.

The province said it consented to the separation because the process to do so was followed properly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The City of Prince Albert followed the required steps to change boundaries, including public consultation,â&#x20AC;? wrote a government spokesperson in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The board of Wapiti Re-

gional Library and the City of Prince Albert both consented to the boundary changes, and continue to work together to make the transition as seamless as possible.â&#x20AC;?

With Prince Albert pulling out, the regional library stood to lose $156,000 in provincial grants as of 2016. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wapiti has been well-prepared for this shift for a couple of years now,â&#x20AC;?

Murphy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had budgetary [measures] in place and operational changes were made to prepare for it.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much of a transition for us.â&#x20AC;?

Cudworth Wildlife celebrates its members

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

The Cudworth Wildlife Federation took the time to celebrate the achievements of their members with their annual banquet and fish fry on April 14.

Around 300 people dined on walleye from a La Ronge based company with smokies also being available as a fish alternative, says David Yorke, Region 1

Director for Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation.

Ten members were awarded with annual trophies for top hunters and fishers.

Around 100 raffle prizes were up for grabs with the biggest being a 12 person four night house boat trip on Tobin lake.

President of the Cudworth club John Eckel says this was also a fundraiser for the club with some

projects on the table that they are looking into.

While nothing has been finalized, Eckel says they are looking to stock one of the local lakes.

The club also raised $2,100 with one of their raffle prizes to go towards the SJHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly formed Assistance Program. This is being matched by the Federated Co-operatives Limited in partnership with the SJHL.

Do not forget about the 911 dispatchers

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

On April 6, many people stopped to help those who were injured in the Humboldt bus crash.

From first responders and witnesses who were the first on the scene to Stars Air Ambulance, ambulance services, police, fire and other emergency services who performed their duties in spectacular fashion, so many people jumped in to help in anyway they could.

We were quick to thank those who helped out, and rightly so.

But the majority of us have missed a certain group in our thanks: our 911 dispatchers.

The Saskatchewan government has proclaimed April 8 to 14, 2018 as National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.

This is a time set aside to celebrate dispatchers, and especially while we are still aware of the role they played on April 6, it is fitting that we talk about their work during an emergency situation.

I spoke with Humboldt and District Fire Chief Mike Kwasnica about the role of 911 dispatchers,

and he was quick to agree they are often overlooked.

Theirs is the first voice we hear on the worst day of our lives, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking the panicked person, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to calm them down, trying to get the information we need to try and do our jobs and be able to do them quickly and efficiently,â&#x20AC;? says Kwasnica.

The 911 dispatchers are crucial in a crisis, says Kwasnica, because they are the connection between emergency services and the person on the other end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have no idea what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing unless they give us a good explanation of what is the call thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming in, where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going and what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to.â&#x20AC;?

When police, fire and ambulance are called to a scene, they are very visible, Kwasnica says, with flashing lights and big vehicles.

But 911 dispatchers are not in the limelight or on the news, he says because â&#x20AC;&#x153;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a voice in a room someplace.â&#x20AC;?

And those â&#x20AC;&#x153;voices in a roomâ&#x20AC;? do a lot of hard work.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2017, General 911 tips courtesy of saskatchewan.ca: 364,297 calls â&#x20AC;˘ When calling, say where you are and were offered identify which emergency services you reto Sask911 opquire, such as police, fire or ambulance. erators, which â&#x20AC;˘ Try to remain calm and be able to prowas nearly a vide additional information, if requested by nine per cent an operator. increase over â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hang up until an operator advises 2016,â&#x20AC;? accordyou to do so. ing to an April 6 Government of Saskatchewan press release.

That is an average of more than 30,000 calls a month.

However, the government also reported in a January 2018 press release that 12 per cent of calls from January to November were abandoned, meaning dispatchers answer to find no one on the other end.

There are ways of avoiding this, according to the release, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;manually dialing 911 instead of preprogramming the number in your phone; and teaching your children the importance of 911 and when it should and should not be used.â&#x20AC;?

Kwasnica wanted to emphasis that dispatchers are human.

It is okay to reach out in times of grief

By Dr. Megan Parker, ND Health Columnist

When a tragedy strikes a small community like Humboldt, we all experience varying degrees of grief.

Whether you were directly involved with the Broncos organization or knew one of the victims directly, as a community we all will be affected in some way or another.

Grief is a natural response we all go through in our own ways. Everyone experiences grief in their own way. However you are experiencing grief is okay.

You may have heard of the stages of grief before: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

These are a very general overview of emotions the â&#x20AC;&#x153;typicalâ&#x20AC;? person may experience.

How many of you can say you are â&#x20AC;&#x153;typical,â&#x20AC;? or even know what â&#x20AC;&#x153;typicalâ&#x20AC;? means. It is not mandatory for you to fit in with these stages of grief. Any and all emotions you are feeling is normal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay to be angry or sad. By allowing ourselves to feel these emotions we allow ourselves to process them.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for us to take the time to check in with ourselves to assess how we are feeling as we continue to process. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to ask for help.

It is a sign of strength to reach out to others when you need support.

As a community, we are all grieving in our own ways. Sharing our experiences can help us through this process. Reach out to a friend or neighbour to help you through this time.

It is important that we allow ourselves to process and feel whatever emotions may come up for us.

Grieving is about moving through different emotions and feelings. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all seen the prank where someone opens a small can and a huge snake comes flying out at them? If you suppress your emotions rather than feel them, eventually youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look like that can. The longer you suppress emotions, the more likely they are to come barrelling out when you least expect it. Allow yourself to feel.

As a community, we can help our neighbours and friends through this difficult time.

Be there for each other. Have an open ear to listen and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to ask how someone is doing or if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a difficult time. Remember that people usually need support long after the dust settles, funerals are over and the national news coverage stops.

Continue to check in with family and friends and be open when they ask.

During a difficult period, it is as important as ever to continue with self-care exercises. Get a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep. Drink plenty of water. Take time for yourself.

Eat healthy. Continue with current exercise routines; activity helps us heal emotions. Spend time with loved ones. Continue to care for yourself so you can be there for those around you.

Remember that it will take time to heal. Our lives will never be the same, but with time we will move forward. We will always remember.

UNIQUE FUNERAL URNS

HOESS: Albert Hoess was born March 5, 1926 in Germany and died April 18, 2018 in Melfort, Saskatchewan at the age of 92.

Dad came to Canada in 1929 with his parents who settled near Daylesford Saskatchewan, where they began farming.

Their family was poor and lard sandwiches were dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school lunches on many occasions.

Dad worked hard as the oldest child and left school after grade 8 to help his family. When he was 17, his father took him to Regina to buy a tractor, after the purchase his dad pointed north and told dad to drive it cross country back to the farm. He recounted relying on the kindness of others on the journey. It was quite an adventure. Dad left the farm for a few years and among other things, worked â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at Forsters farm, partnered with a friend in a business, and worked for a graveling company in British Columbia, which he enjoyed immensely. He took a diesel mechanic course and reminisced frequently about having top marks in that course.When Dad was 26, his father passed away and Dad returned to the farm to help his mother, brothers and sisters. Dad married Frances Kosokowsky in 1958, they built a house about a mile from his fathers homestead. Together they raised 3 children, continuing to farm the land, growing crops and tending to cows and pigs. Dad retired from farming at 65 but continued to live on the farm and rented out his land.

Mom and Dad were married for 48 years until she passed away in 2007. Dad continued to live on the farm, living on his own terms and enjoying the privacy of the farm, until a few days before he passed away.Dad had a wry sense of humor, he loved going for drives and walking at the farm and at the lake. His mind was sharp and he kept up on current events, although his hearing deteriorated in later years. He also was very resourceful, fixing things, and building things out of bits and pieces, like the wagon he built that he pulled behind the lawn tractor. After mom passed, he became more talkative and loved to chat with family about his younger years. He spoke many times about his brother Joe and his brother-in-law John Gorsalitz. He loved animals and they loved him, his farm cats followed him on his daily walks and would come out to greet him when he honked the horn.Dad is survived by his three children: John (Laurelyn) and their children: Benjamin, Matthew and Ryan; Marie (Don Kraft) and their children: Connor and Cooper; Tony and his children: Jennifer, Patrick and Regan; his sisters: Anne, Louise and Laura and his brother Alfred; sister- in-law: Margaret Langlois and Theresa Kosokowsky, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Dad was predeceased by his wife Frances; his parents Carl and Teresa and his brothers and sister: Carl, John, Joe and Rose. We miss you Dad and are thankful for the legacy you gave us.A Celebration of Life for Albert was held on Monday, April 23, 2018 at 2:00 PM at the St. Brieux Roman Catholic Cemetery, St. Brieux, SK with Father Nick Ferreras officiating. To leave condolences for the Family, please visit the online guestbook at www.fedusiakfuneralchapel.com. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Fedusiak Funeral Chapel & Crematorium, Melfort.

He attended Hat Creek Country School for 8 years. Frank then worked for his dad on the farm and other farmers in the area when they needed a helping hand.

That same year he met his life partner Judy Tonnies. They were married February 6, 1965 and have resided at the family farm ever since. They just celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary.

Frank was a great outdoorsman; he enjoyed farming, hunting and fishing with many trophies on display. He loved when his grandchildren came to visit and would stay overnight especially because they ere a great reason for an afternoon nap. He could build and fix anything. “If Frank could not fix it, it was broken.” Frank continued farming with his son Dwight, helping him until Dwight took over full time, with Frank now being the helping hand. Even with his health deteriorating he still climbed up in the combine this past fall. In the hospital, Frank was still giving Dwight farming advice. Frank will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife Judy (nee Tonnies) Eberle; their children: Sheila (Dave) Lefebvre and family Justin (Steph) and Jarvis; Dwight (Lori) Eberle and family Brittany and Travis; Tracy (Kent) Rueve and family Taylor, Bryce, Kalvin and Ethan; brother Ed (Lucille) Eberle of Humboldt; sister-in-law Adelaide Eberle of Edmonton; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family; and members of the Tonnies family. Frank was predeceased by his parents Joseph and Augusta (nee Boese) Eberle; brothers and sisters: Gary Eberle, Len (Lea) Eberle, Werner (Lillian) Eberle, Joe Eberle Jr., Else (Allan) Farncombe, Marga (Frank) Kager, Hilde Eberle, Nora (Hubert Bley) (Leo Harder), Edna (Arnie) Rediger; and parents-in-law William and Sophie Tonnies. A Funeral Mass was offered at St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church, Annaheim, SK. on Friday, April 20, 2018 at 10:30 a.m., presided by Fr. Augustine Osei-Bonsu.

Local archers ply trade at provincial championships

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

It was a busy weekend for eight local schools on April 13-14 as they competed in the Saskatchewan National Archery in Schools Program Provincial Tournament.

Teams from Lanigan, LeRoy, Naicam, Quill Lake, Raymore, Wadena Composite, Watson, and Winston High took part, with their aim fully on the bullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-eye.

Raymore Raymore was the lone school to have enough shooters eligible to compete in the team competition, as they managed a fourth place finish in the elementary team standings, finishing with a score of 1,737, nearly 1,000 points back of third place Saltcoats.

Raymore sent a total of 30 archers to the provincial championships, including 16 males and 14 females.

Raymoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s males struggled to find their groove as they managed just one top 50 finish.

Josh Frankl finished in 43rd, as he posted a score of 263, thanks in large part to eight 10s.

No other Raymore male archer reached the top 100.

The Raymore female team did not enjoy any extra success, as they had just one archer reach the top 100.

Inez Blind was Raymoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top female shooter as the seventh grade student fired a score of 234, complete with two 10s, which was good enough for 98th overall in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event.

Lanigan Elementary Lanigan Elementary sent 13 archers to the provincial championship including eight males and five females.

Despite sending a rather large contingent to the provincial championships, Lanigan Elementary managed

just middling results, as they failed to reach the top 50 overall.

The Lanigan males really struggled to reach the top of the standings, as they failed to have an archer finish in the top 100.

Lanigan Elementaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s females also struggled to post top scores, claiming just one top 100 finish.

Tynell Mack was Lanigan Elementaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top female shooter posting a score of 234 points, including three scores of 10, as the seventh grade student finished 96th overall.

LeRoy LeRoy School also enjoyed middling results, as they sent just ten archers to the competition, including four males and six females, where they failed to reach the top 50.

In addition, with LeRoy sending just ten archers to the provincial championship, they were ineligible to compete in the team competition.

LeRoy enjoyed decent success, managing one top 100 among their male participants with Carter Timmerman finishing 67th overall, thanks to a score of 251, which included seven scores of ten.

LeRoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s females enjoyed even less success than their male counterparts, as they failed to reach the top 100.

Naicam Naicam sent 11 archers to the provincial championship, including seven males and four females, but the club did not have enough archers to be eligible for the team points standings.

Despite failing to have enough archers for the points competition, the Naicam male archers enjoyed a solid amount of success, claiming one top 10, two top 20â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and four top 100â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Mitchell Nivon was the top N maicam archer firing a score of 277,

thanks in large part to 16 scores of 10, as the tenth grade student finished sixth overall.

Finishing five points behind Nivon, was teammate Merrick Nystuen.

The grade 11 student fired nine scores of ten, which helped him finish in 18th place overall, with a score of 272.

Also falling inside the top 50, was grade nine student Ethan Olson.

Olson fired a score of 260, thanks in small part to eight scores of 10, as he finished in 45th place overall.

Rounding out the Naicam shooters in the top 100 was Patrick Turner, who claimed a 73rd place finish overall, thanks to a score of 250, which included seven scores of 10.

The females also saw solid results, managing one top 25.

Randi Zenner was Naicamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top female archer posting a score of 263, thanks in large part to eight scores of 10.

Thanks to her excellent score, the grade 12 student finished in 25th overall.

Quill Lake It was a quiet trip to provincials for Quill Lake, who sent just four archers to the shoot, including three males and one female.

The Quill Lake men enjoyed solid results, with two reaching the top 100.

Jordan Hill was the top Quill Lake finisher as the grade nine student grabbed an 84th place overall finish, registering 247 points, including three 10s.

Finishing three points behind his Quill Lake teammate was Tayden Gabriel.

The grade five student managed a 95th place overall finish after posting a score of 244, which included seven

scores of ten.

Hailey Chegus was the lone female archer for Quill Lake, and managed a 251st overall finish thanks to no tens, and a score of 154.

Wadena Composite Wadena Composite sent 13 archers to the provincial championships, including eight males and five females.

Despite sending eight males to provincials, Wadena struggled to find high finishing places, as they managed just a single top 100.

Keenan Sowa was the lone Wadena male to reach that milestone, finishing in 57th overall position thanks to four scores of ten and an overall score of 254.

Unfortunately for the Wadena females, the competition went even worse as they failed to have any of their five archers reach the top 100.

Watson Watson sent five archers of their own to the provincial championship, with all five being male.

With just five archers in action, Watson enjoyed middling results as they managed just a single top 100 finish, Kayden McKnight was the lone Watson archer to reach the top 100 after firing four scores of ten and a total score of 251, good enough for 70th overall.

Winston High School Rounding out the local contingent was Winston High School, who sent 11 archers to provincials including seven males and four females.

Despite having a decent sized contingent it was not a very successful trip to provincials for Winston High as they failed to reach the top 100 in either the male or the female competition.

Archers will now turn their attention to the National Championships April 27-29 in Regina.

Traeger wood pellet grills utilize an indirect cooking system that “reduces the fat” and charring, decreasing cancer causing “benzo-a-pyrene” on food.

The hardwood smoke created by our wood pellets produces antioxidants similar to vitamin E. Traeger wood pellet grills are a healthier way to cook.

Humboldt 306-682-2574

Traeger BBQ Pellets are made from 100% recycled hardwood sawdust.

Traeger Pellet Grills LLC is a leader in the reduction of wood waste. In partnership with sustainable wood suppliers, Traeger adds economic value to materials that were once considered “waste,” creating new business, products and jobs. This use of sawdust, previously burned or placed in landfills, results in significant economic, social, and environmental benefits.

The burn system in every Traeger wood pellet grill is capable of a combustion efficiency rate of 98.8% with an extremely high “fuel to air” ratio. This means low emissions and a lower carbon footprint.
