The third annual North East Outreach and Support Services winter gala hit the dance floor for Dancing with the Stars: Naicam Edition season two event on Nov. 25 to much success. Six couples and one dance troupe hit the floor after six weeks of training with choreographers, Chisa Glendenning and Hugh Kernaleguen learning routines and getting ready to compete. In the end Rob and Melissa Kreutzwieser took home the judge’s choice and Jason and Christina Hutchinson took home the people’s choice award for their dance. Rob and Melissa met on the dance floor so competing on one was no giant leap, however the heavy choreography was a challenge, says Melissa. “It’s definitely a marriage check in when you’re trying to do something like that with your spouse. That and renovations,” she laughs. Glendenning was a big part in getting the couples through that, says Melissa, with the practices always being a positive place, even if you felt you had a bad practice. Continued on page 3

Sask. government release results of cannabis survey By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Cannabis legalization is coming and according to the Government of Canada, legalization will come no later than July 2018. According to the federal government, “the proposed (Cannabis) Act would also enable provinces and territories to oversee the distribution and retail aspects of the cannabis supply chain, and to tailor certain rules in their respective jurisdictions.” The Government of Saskatchewan heard from 34,681 respondents for their online cannabis survey and the results are in on how cannabis should be regulated. Saskatchewan people held nothing back when talking about how they feel on cannabis legalization with questions about everything from who should sell marijuana to age and driving restrictions to how tax revenue should be spent. According to the survey, retail stores and online retailers should be able to sell the product with residents able to purchase their marijuana at walk in retail stores, either government owned or small retailers. Government should still be the ones regulating the sale of marijuana with the majority of respondents agreeing on government control of selling hours, age,

training for staff, and location of stores. According to the survey, age restrictions and keeping marijuana out of the hands of minors should be the top priority of the government regulation. On the subject of growing marijuana, control should be given to the landlords on whether renters can grow their own marijuana. Private property and condo owners are in control of growing marijuana in their own units as long as the indoor or outdoor location is secure. When it comes to age and driving restrictions, regulations should mirror that of alcohol according to survey respondents with 19 being the legal smoking age and prohibition of vehicle operation while drugimpaired with penalties similar to drinking impaired driving in place for drug-impaired driving. According to the survey results, mental health and addiction support should be top priority on where tax revenue should be spent with public education and prevention at number two. The results of the survey will be used to, “help guide Saskatchewan’s approach to cannabis legalization,” says a Government of Saskatchewan press release. “The results of the survey are vital in developing the best possible framework,” says Justice Minister

Hitting the dance floor in support of North East Outreach Continued from page 1 While many of the couples had never danced before, Glendenning says it is all about working with their natural abilities and bring that out. Working with the different couples, Glendenning got to be creative and work on the many different styles of dance. Coming together in such a fun way for a cause like NEOSS, Rob says he hopes they showed other couples that they could do it, too. “It’s intense at the beginning but once you get into it, it’s a lot of fun.” While Rob was more comfortable on skates before taking the lessons, he is more than willing to try any dance now that he sees the fun in it. This was also an opportunity to include their own kids in their routine with their two youngest children, McKenna and Wyatt, as well as a couple other young dancers, joining them on the floor for a flash mob during their routine. Jason and Christina also have children who dance so they were a big reason why they decided to take to the dance floor themselves, says Christina.

“We wanted to go out and show them that we could go out and dance in support of them.” This was also something that they could do together, she says, since her and Jason are often running in different directions. “The time we got together and the laughs we got..it was fun.” With so many good reasons to join in on the fun, this was also a great cause to support, says Christina, with many people needing help but people not always recognizing the need. The second annual event was an exciting time for NEOSS administrative assistant, Jennifer Peterson with tickets nearly sold out with 250 tickets sold and all proceeds going to NEOSS’s emergency domestic violence shelter, emergency receiving home, and outreach programs. The event was a labour of love for Peterson and her family who wanted to give back since Peterson started working with the organization. While everyone had a good time, the event works to start the conversation regarding domestic violence issues in rural, northeast Saskatch-

ewan, says Peterson. “People realize what they’re coming out for and what they’re supporting and it just makes you stop and think. And if you can spread that word and get the dialogue opened up, then any event helps.” Rural residents do not realize how much domestic violence impacts the community and the people around them, says Peterson. “By showing support it raises awareness and brings funds in so we can just keep on growing, covering more ground, raising even more awareness, and ending interpersonal violence all together.” Starting that dialogue, especially with young people is important in confronting the issue, says Peterson, but we still have a lot more work to do. Waiting lists are not uncommon at the shelter with an 85 per cent capacity at all times and the emergency home running at full capacity since they opened in October 2016. Whenever space does become available, it is filled within a matter of hours, says Peterson. Counsellors with the

outreach programs go as far as Watson, Hudson Bay, Kinistino, Kelvington, Nipawin, and even as far north as Cumberland House, as well as doing presentations in schools and churches. Outreach counsellors present on anything from interpersonal violence to teen dating to healthy relationships as well as do workshops bi-weekly in Melfort. “There’s always workshops going on and things they’re doing to help.”

and Attorney General Don Morgan. Law enforcement before and after legalization is the main concern for the Saskatchewan RCMP so the survey results are not something they can weigh in on, says Staff Sergeant Rob Embree with the RCMP “F” Division Communications. “Whatever regulations come into place...we just act accordingly to that.” Until cannabis is federally legalized, however, it is still an illegal substance in the eyes of the RCMP, says Embree. In preparation of legalization, Embree says they are working to train more Drug Recognition Experts (DREs). Right now there are 60 trained DREs working with the Saskatchewan RCMP. Beyond that the RCMP are not really at the point where they can say what more they are doing to prepare for legalization, says Embree.

Golf spotlight on Tiger’s return By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

He’s coming back. Again. No one knows if it will be a hobbling return or a heroic return, but Tiger Woods, he of the polarizing love-him-or-hate-him persona, returns to action Nov. 30 at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. The tournament features a limited field (18 golfers) and it will be overcovered to the extreme by Golf Channel, who know what golf fans want. Many will hope he shoots lights out and shows signs of a return to greatness. Others — those who despise him, for a variety of reasons — will be hoping that, again, he falls flat on his face. At age 42 (he’ll be 43 Dec. 30), the calendar is working against Woods. His health is working against him. His recent idleness will work against him. Knowing the whole world is watching will work against him. But the greatest (or maybe secondgreatest) golfer of all time has faced mountains of pressure in the past, and, until his last major title in 2008, passed almost all of them. But after numerous surgeries and personal problems, the dominating Woods of 1996-2008 is far in the rearview mirror. The Woods the world sees now is a broken-down hasbeen with perhaps unrealistic determina-

tion to get his game back toward the top of the competitive world. Retired tour player Lanny Wadkins is in the camp hoping Woods has a successful return, telling Jaime Diaz of golfdigest.com: “Frankly, it’s amazing to me how many people almost seem like they want him to be done. Why would you want him gone? All he does if he comes back and plays is make our game better. Can you imagine if Tiger could come back ‌ and win tournaments, competing with these kids today? It would be some of the most exciting stuff we’ve ever seen.â€? Lee Trevino sees Woods coming back “in a blaze of glory.â€? The fusion surgery he underwent in April, Woods says, could be the final answer to all his health problems. He took a full six months off, apparently took a lot of painkillers during his recovery (his arrest for driving under the influence, mostly painkillers, made worldwide headlines in May). Those who have watched him hit balls say he shows signs of being like the old Tiger. Rickie Fowler says Tiger is bombing his driver far past Fowler’s best. The specific surgery he had rejuvenated the career of Retief Goosen, who has told fellow golfers the surgery could be a “magic pillâ€? for Woods. Whether he contends or hacks, wheth-

er he shoots a bunch of 66s or struggles to break 80, the world will be watching Nov. 30 to Dec. 3. • RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “NASCAR driver Danica Patrick was among the first passengers to ride a new driverless bus in Las Vegas. To make her feel comfortable, they had it follow 33 cars.â€? • Norman Chad of the Washington Post, on the woeful Cleveland Browns: “The team’s last title came in 1964; that would be 53 years ago, or roughly the period of time between Adam Sandler hit movies.â€? • Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle, on poor attendance at the new 49ers stadium in Santa Clara, Calif: “My sources tell me the team is considering changing the name from Levi’s Stadium to The Elbow Room.â€? • RJ Currie again: “Ex-Nats manager Dusty Baker has been in 10 straight elimination games without closing the deal.

Market and production the chicken and egg problem

Calvin Daniels It might sound like a play on words, but often Prairie farmers are faced with an old-fashioned chicken and egg conundrum. Producers here do a

very good job of producing, and that production over the years has included a myriad of crops and a surprisingly lengthy list of livestock varieties as well. Over the years farm profits have often been tight, if not flat out nonexistent, and that has led farmers to try new things. Most have not panned out very well. You will not find thousands of acres of lupins, nor major orchards of sea buckthorn, and the acres devoted to spice crops is miniscule in spite of past promise associated with 17121MA0 17121MA1

fenugreek, coriander and a few others. It’s the same thing on the livestock side where ostrich and emu and fallow deer and other species went from high-priced breeding stock with the promise of a future attached to largely a novelty at best these days. One might argue these farm ventures were never meant to be on the Canadian Prairies, and indeed some have seemed more mirage than real in retrospect. However, there is often a missing element in the storyline, and that is someplace local to sell what is

produced. Yes, Canadian Prairie farmers exist largely because they sell product around the world. Exports have long been critical to the bottom line. But domestic processing of one kind or another is also part of the equation. Canola is exported as oil, but much of the crushing is done here. We see the same thing in terms of oats. The oatmeal is eaten by consumers across North America and beyond, but is processed on the Canadian Prairies. We see more first-step processing of pulse crops on the Prairies.

Often with new crops farmers can jump quickly into production. They have the acres and a built in production expertise. Granted the exact production of coriander may not be that of wheat, but producers can adapt long held skills pretty quickly. So they grow something new rather easily, but finding a market is a challenge. The region is an unknown in international markets and getting a buyer to look to a new producer with no track record in terms of quality or year-to-year delivery is not easy. And locally there are no market options. We see today some three million acres of soybean are grown here.

Those acres have found export markets but there is a growing call to have a production plant here, especially since large amounts of soybean meal are imported to the Prairies for the livestock feed sector. And the promise of hemp for fibre has been slow in materializing not because of production, producers could ramp that up quickly, but because developing a market and some level of domestic processing has been slower in developing. It can come down to what comes first, production or processing, chicken or egg, although ultimately both must exist to build a viable option for farmers.

ARRIVE ALIVE Alcohol and drugs im Millions M Mi llllions io o off people pe eoplle die die each h year due due to alcohol- and drug-related motor vehicle accidents. Many people simply do not realize how much alcohol and drugs affect one’s ability to operate a motor vehicle. Many more may mistakenly feel they won’t be among the many people who cause injuries to themselves or others when operating a vehicle in an impaired state. Drugs, whether they are illegal or legal, can impair a person’s motor skills, leading to accidents. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says almost 30 people in the United States die each day in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcoholimpaired driver. That equates to 1 death every 48 minutes. Many other accidents and fatalities can be traced back to other substances, whether legal or illegal. Using

drugs such marijuana drugss su uch ch aass m ariijuan jua a and and cocaine an cocaiine can can ca a be linked to roughly 20 percent of motor vehicle driver deaths in the United States. Compounding the problem is that these drugs are often used in conjunction with alcohol. MADD Canada estimates that a minimum of 1,074 fatalities in 2009 could be attributed to impairment-related driving in that country. Moreover, it is also estimated that 63,338 were injured in alcohol- and drug-related crashes the same year. What is BAC? BAC, or blood-alcohol concentration, measures the amount of milligrams of alcohol that is in 100 milliliters of blood. Each drink a person consumes increases his or her BAC. The legal BAC varies all over the world.

A per person may not think they are driving p erson m ay no ot thi ink n the he ey aar re d rivvin ng under the influence after taking a cold or allergy pill. However, many of these pills can impair driving ability because they tend to cause drowsiness. Drugs that act on the brain, such as psychoactive drugs, antidepressants, sleeping medications, and anti-anxiety drugs, can impair reaction time, judgment and motor skills. Most medications that can prove dangerous while driving will carry a warning label that advises against driving or operating heavy machinery. Illegal drugs have their own share of negative effects. Research indicates that marijuana is one of the most prevalent illegal drugs detected in individuals fatally injured in driving accidents. The Emergency Medical Services Authority says marijuana can cause reduced concentration,

difficul ultty ty perce ceiv i ing time iv tim me and and n dis isttance ta e difficulty perceiving distance, poor speed control, inability to read signs, drowsiness, and distraction. Cocaine can mask fatigue and impair a person’s ability to concentrate. Impulsive behaviors can lead to risk-taking. Some research suggests that antagonistic effects can be produced when cocaine is mixed with alcohol. The EMSA says the use of amphetamines can interfere with concentration, impair vision and increase the driver’s willingness to take risks. It is better to err on the side of caution and avoid the use of any drugs or alcohol if you plan to be driving. No one wants to cope with the emotional, financial and legal ramifications that can occur should an accident leading to injury or fatality occur. TF12C739

Middle Lake, Birch Hills lose in provincial quarterfinals By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

It was a tough trip to provincials for local volleyball teams, as none managed to advance past the quarterfinals. 1A Provincials Both the Middle Lake Avengers and the Annaheim Rebels traveled to Avonlea, and Rouleau over the weekend for the 1A provincial championships, with both teams in Pool B. It was a decent trip to provincials for the Avengers as they wrapped up their tournament with a record of 3-2. The tournament got off to an excellent start for the Avengers as they picked up a two sets to one win over Medstead, and two sets to none wins over Annaheim and Rouleau. Thanks to their three wins to open the tournament, the Avengers took on Mossbank in the final game of the round robin with first place in the pool on the line. The match was a closely contested affair between the two teams with Mossbank eventually pulling out a two sets to one victory. The loss left the Avengers as the second seed and moved them into the quarterfinals, where they took

on the third seed from Pool A, Vanguard. The Avengers again engaged in a battle, which saw both teams grab control at various times. Unfortunately for the Avengers they were not able to grab control at the right moment and fell two sets to one. The loss eliminated the Avengers from playoff contention. The Rebels meanwhile, enjoyed a significantly less successful tournament as they wrapped up the tournament 0-4. The tournament got off to a slow start for the Rebels as they lost both of their day one matches two sets to none against Middle Lake, and Mossbank. Needing to win a match on day two the Rebels came out swinging and pushed the eventual provincial champions Rouleau to three sets, before eventually losing two sets to one. The Rebels’ final round robin match came against Medstead, with the Rebels needing to win to force a three way tie in their pool. Unfortunately for the Rebels they were unable to pull out the victory as they forced Medstead to three sets before losing two sets to one. The loss left the Rebels with a 0-4 record, and eliminated them from playoff contention.

3A Provincials The Birch Hills Marauders were the only other local school to qualify for the boys volleyball provincial championships. It was a solid trip to provincials for the Birch Hills Marauders as they finished the tournament with a 4-1 record, but lost at the most crucial time. The tournament got off to an excellent start for the Marauders as they swept their day one matches beating Ile-a-la-Crosse, Redvers, and Osler VCA two sets to none. The Marauders wrapped up their round robin the following morning as they took on Kipling. After rolling through their first three matches, the Marauders continued their dominant start to the tournament as they knocked off Kipling two sets to none. The win over Kipling gave the Marauders a perfect record in the round robin, and earned them top spot in Pool A, meaning they got to take on Moose Jaw Cornerstone in the quarterfinals. Despite finishing as the fourth seed in Pool B, Moose Jaw Cornerstone were unfazed when they took on Birch Hills and it showed, pulling off the upset in straight sets, winning two sets to none. The loss eliminated the Marauders from playoff contention.

Viscount news By Sandra Reid Correspondent Busy as bees we were at Blankets for Canada this week. Four ladies from Plunkett and five ladies from Viscount met at the Viscount Library for three hours, making our crocheted and knitted blankets that we donate to shelters in the city. If you would like more information, call Evelina at 306-944-4820. On Nov. 25, there were 20 people that attended the Viscount Seniors fundraising breakfast. Chris Rault and Karen Dale did the cooking and cleaning. Al Guricko won the Lucky Loonie Pot. I enjoyed going to Colonsay on Nov. 26 to take in the Craft and Trade show that was on. There were lots of lovely articles for sale. Best wishes to anyone that is under the weather hope you feel better soon. Have a great week.
