Mid-Sask talks regional attraction at workshop

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Saskatchewan continues to grow.

And the Mid-Sask region wants to grow with it.

That was the focus of the Mid-Sask Municipal Alliance’s Mid-Sask Investment Attraction Strategy workshops in Watrous on Dec. 15 and Humboldt on Dec. 16.

“What we’re doing here is we’re helping the MSMA how they can get their economic investment house in order,” says Lyndon Ashton from MDB Insight out of Toronto.

Local businesses were a large part of the conversation since organizers were looking for their input on where there are investment opportunities for the region but municipal leaders were also at the table because of their support of local businesses, says Ashton.

Ashton lead the workshops and presented on both the benefits and the challenges that the Mid-Sask region faces as they look to go forward.

“What’s going on in the area? Let’s build on our strengths and our advantages. What’s the best sectors that we should be focused on?”

Mid-Sask Director of Planning and Operations Celine Favreau says that a lot of investment initiatives came from the discussion, including much discussion about the recreational and retail sector that exists in the area.

“Now moving forward, out of the ideas that we’ve collected out of the Business Investment Attraction Strategy, we’ll start focussing into specific sectors.”

The amount of involvement from the area is something that excites Favreau because it is showing that the region is getting involved.

“They want us to do more workshops. They want to be able to come in and contribute moving forwards.”

nesses and communities buy in so they can reap the benefits as the region continues to grow.

Coordination is always a challenge but that was the basis for bringing in the workshop, says Ashton as they are working together to strategically bring in more financial growth.

Many questions need to be answered going forward, including the sectors appropriate to the area that should be the focus of investment and the resources that are already available for the region to engage with investments.

Favreau says that they want to take everything from the workshop and have a business strategy that they can move forward on.

Take time to enjoy the holiday season

By Dr. Megan Parker, ND Health Columnist

Houses on every block are alit with lights. Trees have been cut down, draped with lights and decorated in living room windows. Peppermint flavoured drinks and chocolates are readily available all over town.

Wreaths greet you on front doors. Carols are played regularly on local radio stations. These are all sure signs that the holidays are right around the corner.

The holidays are a time of celebration. They are a time for coming together, for giving, and for sharing.

Most of all the holidays are about spreading peace and joy to those around us.

We often get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season and the true meaning gets lost on us. This year make an effort to slow down during the holidays.

Enjoy and savour every minute as time always seems to fly by.

Forget about the material goods and focus on the love and joy of the season. I promise you no one will remember if your house hasn’t been polished spotless. And not a single soul will notice if you only have fifteen ornaments around the house and on your tree compared to the hundreds that the Jones’ have put up next door. Stop rushing around trying to make

everything perfect.

I challenge you to find joy in the little things this holiday season. Celebrate baby’s first Christmas.

Notice the sparkle in children’s eyes when they see Santa. Enjoy the sound of children laughing and playing when you gather with family and friends.

Exchange smiles with other shoppers while picking

up last minute gifts.

Forget about the material goods this Christmas. It doesn’t matter who bought the biggest, loudest, most expensive present. What matters is the time spent together.

This holiday season strive to make new memories.

Gather with loved ones and create new holiday traditions. Spend an afternoon crafting Ugly Christmas Sweaters with a friend. Drive through the local light display at the campground and around town looking at houses. Bundle up and go skating on your backyard pond or the local outdoor rink. Warm up after outdoor activities with steaming mugs of tea and hot chocolate.

Exchange baking with friends to learn new recipes and to stock your freezer without making multiple batches.

Remember to slow down this time of year and enjoy yourself. The holidays only come once per year so savour every moment.

Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season.

May it be happy, healthy and festive.

Best from 2016 (Part 2)

By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

Some of the best lines of 2016, from the second half of the year (July through December): • Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “NHL is awarding an expansion team to Las Vegas. Like most who are new to Vegas, it figures to lose big right away.”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “A 4-yearold in Bothell flushed a valuable ring down the toilet, but sanitation workers recovered it a mile away a month later. No such luck for the Golden State Warriors.”

Late-night funnyman Jimmy Fallon: “It’s the first NBA title and the first championship for Cleveland in 52 years. And now a lot of sports writers are saying that Cleveland will no longer be synonymous with losing. Then the Cleveland Browns said, ‘No, we’re still here.’”

• Greg Cote again, on NBA superstar Kevin Durant signing with powerful Golden State Warriors: “It’s like hearing that the record Powerball lottery was won by two people and finding out those two people are Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.”

From Fark.com, after Snoop Dogg presented Kobe Bryant a vintage Pontiac Parisienne decked out in Lakers colorus as a retirement gift: “Car drives OK, but it smokes like crazy.”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald, on all the big-name athletes bailing on the Rio Olympics: “It’s starting to feel like a Pro Bowl with mosquitoes.”

• Greg Cote again “Bartolo Colon looks like the first runner-up in a Fred Flintstone lookalike contest.”

• Hit king Pete Rose, to the Rochester (N.Y.) Democrat & Chronicle, on baseball salaries: “When we played, we counted our money. Today, they weigh it.”

• Headline at TheKicker.com: “Every Olympic swimmer tests positive for all drugs after dip in Rio bay.”

• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “There was an upset at the Rogers Cup tennis tournament. In a closely contested matchup, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova edged Agnieszka Radwanska 23 letters to 18.”

• Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “In Rio, a Russian springboard diver did a back flop and scored zero points. The Russian hit the water so hard it knocked some of the steroids right out of her.” @Octaviusrex, on Twitter, on the Ryan Lochte saga where four U.S. swimmers couldn’t get their stories straight and their tale of being robbed at gunpoint in Rio unravelled: “The synchronized swimmers would’ve kept their stories straight.”

Another one from Brad Dickson: “The Cleveland Cavaliers extended the contract of coach Tyronn Lue for five years. This is, of course, subject to LeBron James’ weekly review.”

Comedy writer Jim Barach on a study claiming that bronze-medal winners have happier reactions than those winning silver: “To which Michael Phelps says, ‘The Olympics have a bronze medal?’ ” Comedian Argus Hamilton, on how Olympians’ lives are different from ours: “Late last night, Michael Phelps found an Olympic gold medal in his couch cushion.”

Eric Kolenich of the Richmond (Va.) TimesDispatch, after the Nationals acquired pitcher Marc Rzepzyynski from the A’s: “Make sure you spell his name right. It’s Marc with a C.” • Snipped from The sportscurmudgeon.com: “Purdue head coach, Alex Agase, about why he did not spend a lot of time recruiting in California: ‘Any kid who would leave that wonderful weather to come here is too dumb to play for us.’”

• @RandyTurner15 of the Winnipeg Free Press, on Twitter: “After heart-breaking Labour Day Classic loss, dozens of distraught Riders fans jump off tallest building in Regina. Then they walked home.”

• Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “For all their worries about pollution, organizers of the Rio Games have to be happy that the biggest piece of trash in the water turned out to be an American swimmer.”

• Headline at SportsPickle.com: “Life-insurance company drops Josh McCown after he is named Browns QB.” • ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel, on “The People v. O.J. Simpson” winning nine Emmys: “Actor, supporting actor, writing ... even the Ford Bronco won best midsized sport-utility vehicle.”

• Alex Kaseberg again: “An arrest warrant has been issued for Cleveland Brown Josh Gordon in a paternity suit. On the bright side, at least a Cleveland Brown is scoring off the field.”

Another one from Dickson: “ Northwestern has a reputation as an academic powerhouse. My favourite play on Saturday night occurred when the team called timeout to correct the referee’s grammar.”

• Toronto fan’s sign, during the Blue JaysRangers playoff series: “I would rather get punched in May than knocked out in October.”

• RJ Currie again: “The Edmonton Oilers hung updates of their 20 total NHL division, conference and Cup banners at Rogers Place. Not to be outdone, the Winnipeg Jets installed new Plexiglas.”

• Headline at SportsPickle.com: “Retired David Ortiz says he’s looking forward to not having to

stand up four times a day to bat.”

• Blogger Bill Littlejohn: “Many shots of the NLCS show Larry King sitting in the background—as if the Cubs needed something else to remind them how long it’s been.”

• Terry McConnell on Twitter: “Sandy Koufax wasn’t a great pitcher. He was just lucky enough to pitch on days when the other team wasn’t hitting very well.”

Jim Barach, on reports that World Series tickets for games at Wrigley Field went for as much as $6,000: “Which isn’t that unreasonable, given that fans have had 108 years to save their money for it.”

• Headline in the Kansas City Star, on the Cubs’ triumph: “Cursed to first”; in the New York Post: “CUBBOOM!” Anthony Crupi of AdAge.com, not impressed with the Seahawks’ 6-6 tie against the Cardinals that featured 15 punts, 24 penalties and a pair of missed chip-shot field goals in OT: “It was like watching a moderately intelligent cocker spaniel try to learn to play Madden NFL 17.”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “The Eagles released receiver Josh Huff after he was charged with DUI, possession of marijuana and carrying a gun without a permit. Or to put it in football terms, a bad three-and-out.”’

• Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “The Eagles cut wide receiver Josh Huff after he was stopped by New Jersey police, who say Huff was speeding, drunk, carrying marijuana, driving with illegally tinted windows and packing a handgun with no permit, loaded with illegal hollow-point bullets.

But his tires were properly inflated.”

• Another one from Dickson: “PGA players Adam Scott and Rafa Cabrera posted videos of themselves eating live worms. I am telling you, these tie-breakers in golf are getting dumber all the time.”

• Headline at TheKicker.com: “Romo humbly steps aside, breaks ankle in the process.”

• Brad Dickson again: “Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks that none of the three NFL games featured the Cleveland Browns.”

• Janice Hough again: “Fired Oregon coach Mark Helfrich says he hoped Chip Kelly would be hired as the new Ducks football coach. ‘Ditto’, said many SF 49ers fans.”

Comedy writer Marc Ragovin: “In anticipation of moving to their new home next year, the Atlanta Braves have acquired 43-year old pitchers Bartolo Colon and 42-year old R.A. Dickey. What is the name of their new place? Jurrasic Park?”

Globalization could mean GMO monopoly

Calvin Daniels It wasn’t that long ago the mere mention of genetically modified crops had foreign countries threatening border closures to exports.

Realistically, such threats were always

more a way to influence markets than true concerns for the issue of genetically modified crops being a problem in terms of human consumption.

Granted there are consumers who have concerns, although whether they understand the actual science of genetically modified crops, or are working on the emotion of ill-conceived perception, is questionable.

The situation though is certainly shifting, and much of it has to do with the continued globalization of companies involved in both

agri-chemical and plant breeding, two areas of development which are increasingly intertwined.

An example is a recent development by Beijing-based Origin Agritech Ltd. The Chinese biotech seed firm recently announced it has planted genetically modified corn seeds in the United States at a greenhouse designated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The move is a step toward launching China’s first GMO corn products in the United States.

What makes the announcement interesting is that the testing revolves around insect resistance and herbicide tolerance technologies developed in China.

It will be interesting to see whether the Chinese seed lines offer something uniquely new for producers, or will simply mimic existing developments that farmers already have access too.

Intriguingly China itself remains against GMOs, which is likely behind the company’s efforts in the U.S., at this point.

But success in the

U.S. is likely to continue pressure to open China to genetically modified crops sooner than later, as big corporations most certainly have a voice heard by governments.

The development is also continued evidence of the globalization of biotech and ag-chemical companies.

As an example China National Chemical Corp. has agreed to buy Swiss-based seed and farm chemicals company Syngenta AG, which does business in the United States, for $43 billion.

The $43 billion is a

number that is difficult to fathom, but speaks to how lucrative the sector is today, and what the potential is seen to be.

Of course the Chinese deal is not one occurring in isolation.

We also see efforts such as Monsanto and DuPont pursuing separate tie-ups.

That leaves a question of course surrounding the growing monopolization of the sector.

What does that mean in terms of farmer access to seed and the cost of new varieties, and the products they are genetically tied too?

Santa makes a trio of stops

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

It may be a busy time of year but Santa Claus still took time out of his busy schedule to stop in a few communities for their Santa Claus Day’s.

After making stops in a number of local communities over the last several weeks Santa Claus made visits to LeRoy on Dec. 16, Wakaw Dec. 17 and Nokomis on Dec. 17.

The LeRoy Santa Claus Day was a free event hosted by the LeRoy Rec. Board.

With temperatures dipping below -30C the outdoor portion of the day, which included sleigh rides, caroling and decorating the community Christmas tree had to be cancelled. “It’s too bad that it was too cold outside for the sleigh rides because the kids usually enjoy that very much,� says Rec. Board Chair Pat Damm.

Damm was disappointed saying that the kids lose out on a great opportunity to decorate the tree. “It gives them some purpose. It gets them involved in preparation in volunteering for something and I think it’s an important lesson.�

A number of children came out to enjoy the afternoon and were joined by their parents, which was nice to see, say Damm, who notes that having families enjoy the day together allows some Christmas bonding.

LeRoy has been hosting Santa Claus Day for well over 30 years, says Damm, who notes that she joined

HWY 6 N

Santa makes a trio of stops Continued from page 5.

Wakaw The Wakaw Santa Claus Day was held at the Wakaw rec. centre and was hosted by the Lions Club.

The day started out with a number of fun activities for the kids to participate in including bean bag toss, ring toss, and there was a fish pond.

Club 99 was also on hand to serve hotdogs for the kids, before they sat down to watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

The final part of the day saw Santa Claus meet each of the approximately 40 kids who were on hand and give them a candy bag filled with some candy and an orange.

The Lions Club has been hosting the Santa Claus Day for at least 20 years, and Santa Claus Day Chair Steve Skoworodko says it is important for the Lions Club to host the day because it gives families a chance to see Santa without having to travel to the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity for the kids and the parents to get some pictures of the kids with Santa and give them that opportunity in the community instead of having to go outside the community for that.â&#x20AC;?

Over the years the Lions Club has hosted a wide variety of different activities for their Santa Claus Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s including doing it at the arena, doing sleigh rides, playing street hockey and going bowling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try and use the other facilities in town as well just to give some variety and so that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get stale or just the same thing year after year,â&#x20AC;? says Skoworodko.

A number of different businesses and organizations stepped up to help

make the Santa Claus Day a success, which was really nice to see, says Skoworodko. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time the community gets involved and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other areas not just one group thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involved with putting on an event itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always great to see that there is that community involvement.â&#x20AC;?

Looking ahead, Skoworodko says they are looking forward to hosting the day again next year.

Nokomis After a stop in Wakaw Santa got in his sleigh and rushed to Nokomis where he stopped for the Nokomis Santa Claus Day hosted by the Nokomis Facility Board.

The day saw kids enjoy and afternoon of skating and eating hotdogs before Santa joined the group, where he handed out candy canes to the approximately 30 kids in attendance.

The facility board has been hosting the Santa Claus Day for more that 10 years and provides a fun afternoon for the whole family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This way everyone takes time to just have a relaxing afternoon with the kids,â&#x20AC;? says facility board member Janie McNichol.

A number of volunteers also stepped up to make the day a success, which was very rewarding, says McNichol. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just shows the good community spirit.â&#x20AC;?

Overall it was a really great day, says McNichol. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy that everyone still continues to come out for Santa Day and enjoy a good day of family fun.â&#x20AC;?

Looking ahead, McNichol says she looks forward to hosting Santa Claus Day again next year.

Four teams look to return to provincials

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

With fall sports now finished, the winter sports schedule is getting underway with basketball next up on the docket.

Sr. Girls basketball was a brightspot locally in 2016 as four local teams earned spots at the provincial championship.

give them an advantage over the opposition.

“We find a lot of the teams that we play don’t practice at full speed. So maybe first quarter they’re okay, when it gets to the end of the second and into the third and definitely in the fourth they have trouble with us.”

Using that speed is paramount for the Bears because they are not as big as some of the other teams they

Middle Lake Avengers

The Avengers captured their third consecutive 1A provincial championship.

The Avengers return nine players from last year’s provincial championship winning team and will be carrying a team of 11 players this season.

Experience is going to be a huge asset for the Avengers this season as they have four players who have been on the team for all three provincial titles, and many others who have been there for one or two of the three.

“That experience from the past should be an asset for us down the line because you can draw on those experiences that you had and what it took to get there,” says Head Coach Trevor Otsig.

After graduating some key players off of last seasons roster Otsig notes that there is a leadership void that needs to be filled.

“After you play a little bit you start seeing who’s going to be your leaders and you hope it’s going to be your older kids.”

In terms of getting better, Otsig notes that the key is going to be for the Avengers to get on the court and actually play games.

“We’ve practiced seven practices and you can work on so many things and you can try to get through as much as you can...A lot of times you play a game or two, kids realize pretty quick these things at practice, we’ve got to be going at game speed so they’re going to have to learn that.”

Looking ahead to the season Otsig notes that the Avengers have some holes that need to be filled by some of the players who graduated after last season but says it is going to be important for the team to peak come March and says it will take a lot of work for the team to get back to Hoopla again this season.

“I think the potential’s there but it just isn’t a given you’ve got to work and earn everything… it’s not a given by any means.”

Wynyard Golden Bears

The Bears captured a provincial 2A gold medal, winning their second straight and third straight medal after winning silver in 2014.

The Bears return six players from last year’s provincial championship team who will be joined by four newcomers for this season.

Leadership is going to play a big part in the Bears season, notes Head Coach Richard Rink, who says that they have a nice mix of leadership qualities.

“We have one that’ll talk, we do have one for sure that is completely by example, doesn’t like to talk too much just a really quiet person and in grade 11 we have somewhat the same idea. We have one that’ll talk and one that prefers by example.”

Speed is a huge asset for the Bears, says Rink, who notes that they practice at full speed, which tends to

Kinistino Blues

The Blues claimed the 2A bronze, improving upon fourth place finishes in 2015 and 2014.

This year’s team sees ten players return including four starters, with the team featuring a total of 12 players.

With so many players returning to the team it should be a huge asset experience wise, especially in comparison to last year, says Head Coach Adam Svenkeson.

“Our team was young, we started two grade 10s, two grade 11s and one grade 12 so all of a sudden those kids just having a year more experience. They’ve been to Hoopla now three years in a row, they’ve had two fourths and the third last year so we’re really hoping we can make that jump.”

Having a large portion of the roster who have been to three consecutive provincials will be a benefit, says Svenkeson, who notes that they are more prepared to overcome any adversities that are thrown their direction.

“When you look at these girls they’re very understanding of what it takes to get there and what it takes to be successful… I think that’ll aid them in their push for another deep run into the playoffs.”

The Blues come into the season boasting great size and athleticism, says Svenkeson, and says a big focus on this year will be improving their outside shooting so they do not have to rely on their size as much.

“We’ve been able to, in the past few years because we’ve been a strong big team, really work teams inside and we’re really working at developing more of an outside game and being a multi-dimensional threat as the season goes on.”

With such an experienced group of players returning to the team, Svenkeson says he expects that the Blues are capable of being one of the favourites to capture the 2A gold medal.

“I always say when we’re dealing with small town basketball, every team no matter how good they are is one or two injuries away from being in trouble. So assuming we can stay healthy I think we have a really good shot at being one of those teams at Hoopla again this year and hopefully we can be successful and get that championship.”

play against, with Rink noting that they are going to have to work even harder defensively to make up for their lack of height.

“All of our kids are going to have to contribute on the defensive rebound side. They’re just going to have to get better at it because the kids we are playing are bigger… even though the kids might be six inches taller than yourself it doesn’t matter you’re going to have to keep them away from the boards.”

Looking ahead to the season Rink says as long as the Bears play up to their capabilities and are able to stay healthy they are “certainly good enough to be at Hoopla to be published in the again this year,” he says.

Can we be nice to people all through the year?

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

I do love the Christmas season.

Everyone, for the most part, is all cheery and happy.

You get smiles on the street from strangers and happy holidays wishes as people shop.

Why can we not be like this all year round?

Ebenezer Scrooge said in Charles Dickens’ Christmas Carol, after he returns from his journey with the three spirits, “I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.”

There are many ways we can be kinder to the rest of the human race at other times of year besides Christmas.

Even just being nice to people is something I see more of during Christmas.

Why can we not be nice to people all year round, helping out neighbours and saying hi to the person we meet on the street corner?

Working retail in the Christmas season is really a crap shoot. Either people are super nice because it is Christmas or they are super mean because it is Christmas.

One way I try to be nice to retail people is to actually call them by name.

They have a name tag not just for the shear sake of being tattled on. I know a lot of places where staff do

not put on name tags if it can be avoided.

Especially when I use their names in a pleasant way, I have always received a happy reaction, or confusion because they think I am calling them by

name because I know them.

Christmas is also a time of giving and more charity dollars are coming in during the Christmas season.

There are many reasons people donate to the

Humboldt and District Hospital Foundation around Christmas time, says Executive Director, Lorrie Bunko, ranging from donating in the name of a loved one to balancing out their taxes.

November and December are big donation months, says Kevin Reiter with the Humboldt and District Food Bank.

Every year the back of the building is over stuffed with food and they have very few donations coming in from January to April.

People are in that giving spirit, he says, and businesses are attune to that by promoting donations at the tills which increases donations as well.

The one good thing that comes from this is that organizations knows this influx is coming so they work on making Christmas donations last.

Reiter says he focuses on using the food donations until they run out, then he can move on to cash donations that they have received in the Christmas rush.

For Bunko this means budgeting and investing properly during the leaner months to make sure those dollars are available, she says.

I do not begrudge anyone the good they do at Christmas time and both Reiter and Bunko appreciate donations to their organizations at any time of year.

However, can we try to be more like Scrooge and keep Christmas all the year?

Plunkett news

By Deloris Sutherland Correspondent Merry Christmas to everyone.

A lovely turkey supper was served at the Plunkett Hotel on Dec. 11 with a large crowd in attendance. It was nice for the little children that Santa Claus came and all the little ones got a bag of candy from him and they sang Christmas carols. It was nice seeing everyone.

I got a phone call from Jean Harris of Prince Albert, formerly of Plunkett, this week and says hi to everyone.

There was a birthday club ladies Christmas party on Dec. 12 at the Plunkett Hall. A few games were played and enjoyed. Then a gift

exchange took place followed by a lovely luncheon with tea or coffee.

Word was received that Mrs. Myrtle Clavelle is now home from the hospital after being there for four months and all of her friends wish her well in her recovery.

Last week we enjoyed dinner out with friends in Watrous at the Pepper Tree and we enjoyed a lovely turkey dinner. Marge Haynes came from Lanigan and Gizella Toth and Hector and Maisie Sutherland of Watrous also joined us.

Then Ken, Marge and I went to the Watrous Hospital to see Ellen Farago.

Some of her family was down form Regina and Moose Jaw. We also en-

joyed their musical program that was on and Isabelle Langston was playing with her mother Mrs. Joyce Dahl who is 97 and she was playing the guitar and also a friend was playing with them. Then when they were done playing coffee, tea and cookies were served. How nice that was.

Leona and Dennis Credgeur were away to Hanley on Sunday to visit their mother Mrs. Laura Rewerts.

Stanley and Irene Giddings were away for a weekend visiting their son Scott and Marci Giddings and family in Endeavour.

It was nice getting a phone call from Anna-Mae Ryane from Vancouver Island where she now lives after moving from Viscount. She was hoping to go where it is warmer

but she said “Guess what, it is snowing here.” She also sends her wishes to everyone. She said the seniors out there okay Hand and Foot Canasta.

It sure has been cold here this week.

The winds are very cold. It makes folks want to stay home, although it is nice getting out and playing cards but we sure have to dress up warm.

Plunkett folks welcome any new folks that have moved into our area.

Get well wishes go out to anyone ill and in the hospital. We wish them well and home soon.

Anyone having any news, please phone me at 306-944-4852.

Thank you kindly.

It is hard writing news when you do not have any. There are several folks away on a winter holiday.

Dennis received his education at Early Dawn Country School, Watson School and then St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College in Muenster. He enjoyed tinkering around the garage and working on cars. Music was his passion; he belonged to several bands in early adulthood and always had a lifelong enjoyment of music. Dennis cherished his time with family and friends at the family cabin at Marean Lake. Some of his favourite pastimes included fishing, snowmobiling and spending time with his grandchildren. He enjoyed socializing with his many friends of various ages. Dennis loved to take on new business adventures, some of which included commercial painting, amusement and vending machines and trucking. Dennis will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his daughter Kristi Wickenhauser and her daughters Jordyne and Victoria; son Blaine (Jamie) Wickenhauser and their son Ryder; his sisters: Darlene (Jim) Vetter and their daughter Tenelle (Dan) and children Kaiden, Caleb and Mason; Jayne (Wayne) Mierke and their family, Mike (Jolene) and children Hannah, Brooke, Ava and Hayden; Lee (Kevin) and Amy (Kurt) and their children Jonah, Presley, Seger and Sebastian; as well as numerous cousins and close friends.

Four teams look to return to provincials Continued from page 7 Humboldt Mohawks The Mohawks finished fourth in 3A action after losing both games at provincials.

This season is going to be a challenge for the Mohawks as they return just five players from last year’s squad, including no grade 12s and will be incorporating nine new players into the team.

Mohawks Head Coach Paul Raycroft notes that it will be vital for those players who are returning to lead by example for the younger kids coming in and notes that despite not having any grade 12s on the team there should not be a shortage of leadership.

“Kids realize kind of who the senior ones are

and they’re already asking questions and they’re already looking up to them for answers to certain stuff and stuff that we’re learning.”

The Mohawks possess a great deal of size and speed, says Raycroft, but their inexperience early in the season might contribute to some long nights.

“I think we’re going to get beat pretty bad a couple of times but I think we’ll be competitive in most games just based upon our skill. That’ll be a lot of the focus this year is skill development and learning team strategy.”

Raycroft, who has coached all of the athletes while they played junior basketball, says that having a couple of tough nights should only serve as a learning opportunity for the team, noting that

they all have really high character.

Raycroft concedes that this season is a big of a growing year for the team as they will return their whole team again next year, but says the goal is to return to Hoopla.

“Just based on our ceiling of potential that we do have, if the girls develop like I think they can I think Hoopla is definitely an expectation to make it there. Not necessarily medal but to get there I think would be a very good accomplishment this year.”

The season is now underway for the senior girls as they look to get themselves ready for the playoffs, which start with the conference championships March 10-11.

Winter Field Day discusses cattle management studies

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

The work does not stop for cattle producers.

Even in -40 C weather and five feet of snow.

The Western Beef Development Centre’s 2016 Winter Field Day was geared towards these producers as they discussed cow, calf, and forage management as well as demonstrations about in the field data collection.

Western Beef Senior Research Scientist Dr. Bart Lardner says over 40 producers braved the cold to take in the presentations.

“They were ready to stand out there, look, and ask,” says Lardner.

Two research trials on effective winter feeding methods were presented with graduate students Courtney O’Keefe and Breanna Anderson both presenting trials that deal with winter grazing and cattle management.

O’Keefe is studying winter grazing of two stages of swath maturity and is looking at the yields,

forage nutritional values, cow performance and economic costs.

O’Keefe is taking swaths cut at two different times for barley, oats and triticale. The soft dough is cut early in the growing season, the hard being swaths that were cut at a more mature stage of growth.

Weather has been playing a large role in O’Keefe’s trials since this past harvest season has seen higher yields and lower quality grains.

O’Keefe says it is hard to say which stage of maturity has higher benefits to producers with the study only being in year two but in year one all the cattle in O’Keefe’s study gained weight which was good to see she says.

Graduate student Breanna Anderson presented her most recent findings of her study on three day to nine day corn allocations with or without a fibre supplement.

“We’re just really comparing different management strategies to make the most of the crop

Recent work on corn grazing management has shown that a three day allocation would limit the risk of acidosis in cattle.

Acidosis in cattle is when the pH levels drop below a certain level in the rumen which may have producers seeing some health defects in the cattle.

Anderson’s trial is pushing that recommendation to nine days to see if producers can save money on labour costs and time without having an impact and detrimental health effects.

Recent results are showing that weather and growing conditions can have an impact on how the cattle utilize the crop.
