Quill Plains health receives important start up donation The Quill Plains Health Care Foundation were the happy recipients of a $20,000 donation from the Fred and Louise Barker Fo u n d a t i o n .

The Quill Plains Health Care Foundation received a large boost to their fundraising efforts on Dec. 2 as they were the recipients of a $20,000 donation from the Fred and Louise Barker Foundation. The foundation was started in 2000 in honour of Fred and Louise Barker, a pair of single people who had little to no family in the area. They set up the foundation as a way to help with student education, health care, and general projects within the community. “Louise was very interested in healthcare. She wants to see us keep health care in rural Saskatchewan as best we can and she was a resident at the Quill Plains Centennial Lodge here for about five years or so,” noted Norma Weber, one of three surviving directors of the foundation. The money donated was the kickoff to the fundraising efforts for the Quill Plains Health Care Foundation, who became incorporated earlier this year. The foundation’s plan is to renovate the east wing at the Quill Plains Centennial Lodge, as well as build a new wing. “We’ve had kind of a general look at this and the minimum would be a $6.2 million project and it probably won’t happen for five years or so. We’re looking for approval in three and to have our facility in five years so by then it could be around between $7 and 8 million,” says Weber, who is also the chair of the

health care foundation. Weber notes getting a start like they did from the Barker foundation is extremely important. “It lets other people know too that they can do the same thing if they want. It doesn’t have to be the same exact amount. All small or large donations will be a huge help and little by little we will get the money together to do this project.” Weber notes that while the total cost of the project will be a minimum of $6.2 million, the foundation will only be responsible for raising $1.6 million, as the rest will be given through government grants. “We feel that that is very doable so we’re just going to keep on moving ahead and let everybody know that it’s going.” In addition to asking the public for support Weber notes they are also asking communities within a 50 kilometer radius of Watson for their support as well, noting that residents and employees of the lodge come from all over the area. “I hope that they will all jump on board and help us keep excellent health care in rural Saskatchewan.” For anyone interested in helping with the fundraising efforts, Weber notes there are brochures out around the community explaining how to do so, and says in addition there are also donation forms at funeral homes in the area. “We hope that people will pick up the brochures or consider donations when they have funerals in the family because it will be a very worthwhile cause.”

Dinner Theatre pays tribute to special teacher By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

The Annaheim Dinner Theatre performances on Nov. 30 to Dec. 2 were special performances for the Annaheim crew since this was the first one without longtime cast member and dinner theatre supporter, Ricky Block. “He helped out with a lot. We tried to count how many kids he’s had through drama in school and just lost count. This was the perfect opportunity to recognize what he’s done.” Even though they were unable to attend, Block’s daughters were excited that the community would like to pay

tribute to their dad. Taylor Block, the oldest of Ricky’s four kids, was touched that the crew thought to do such a lovely dedication to her dad. “I know that Dad was cheering them on. The drama productions were always one of his favourite parts of the year.” Taylor is now an actor herself and one of the biggest supporters was her dad. “The first time I saw a play was when he was directing Frankenstein at LeRoy School and I thought it was he coolest thing.”

The fact that he supported her career choice is what kept her going, says Taylor. Ricky walked the walk for everyone, says Steve Patton, a long time actor and supporter of the Annaheim Dinner Theatre. A couple of recent actors, including Molli Patton and Cody Denis from this year’s performance, had been students of Ricky’s so he has made an impact on the dinner theatre in that way as well.

“It’s benefitting us in the long run,” says Steve. Ricky readily shared his love of theatre with the community, whether it was through helping with the dinner theatre productions or making sure students had the chance to perform at Annaheim School, says Steve. “He passed it on to as many kids as he could just because they wouldn’t normally have an opportunity to do that kind of thing,” he says.

Dinner Theatre tradition continues in Annaheim By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

It is the biggest fundraiser of the year for Annaheim. And again the village saw success with the 2017 dinner theatre production of Thing My Mother Taught Me. The cast featured six local volunteer actors with Molli Patton and Cody Denis playing Olivia and Gabe, a long time couple who are moving into their first apartment. Moving in is hindered by a ruined wedding proposal, theft, and opinionated mothers, Stacey Fowler as Karen, and Loriann Wuchner as Lydia, and lackluster fathers, Steve Patton playing Wyatt, and Brian Doepker playing Carter. Connie Bley took on the challenge of directing the performance this year with many hours spent on the stage rather than directing the actors. It was time for a change, she says. “I always loved being on stage and I have been for 10 years or so but I thought I would do something different and I loved it.” The motherly advice theme is something that resonated with Bley through her direction. Thinking about her own mother, the advice Bley got from her is advice she passed on to her own children. Bley had also become a mother to the theatre crew with the past couple of months being spent together as their own little family. Directing and seeing the actors shine, it was like her own children were up there, she says. Steve has been involved with every performance for the past 15 years with the productions starting with a play without a script.

Since then the bar is raised a little higher every year. Actors like Molli and Denis are Steve’s reassurance that he will be able to retire one day, he laughs, since this means that young people will continue to get involved in the performances. It is a big commitment with months of preparation but Bley is proud of how her crew worked together, especially Denis since this is his very first play with the crew. Every year is a mix of people from all over the area with people having been to every performance making the annual trip to those who are coming for their very first show. The dinner theatre crew has also made a name for themselves with the quality of performance with everyone in the area knowing that this time of year is dinner theatre time in Annaheim, says Steve. “The word is out. People know about it and know it’s a good performance and a good evening.” And the community benefits from the level of support. Funds raised from the three shows keep the rink and community hall running with three nights of shows bringing in enough to maintain the buildings through to next winter. With how widely the hall is used, having the funds to maintain it is important for the community, says Bley. The weekend of performances go beyond just the actors with the community pitching in to cook and serve the meal on the night. “It is not just a show up there,” says Bley, “it is a big family ordeal. That’s what it is, a community is family.”

Olivia, played by Molli Patton, gets some motherly advice from both mother-in-law and mother, Loriann Wuchner and Stacey Fowler, during the Annaheim Dinner Theatre production, Things My Mother Taught Me that ran Nov. 30 to Dec. 2. The annual production has been going on for 15 years and proceeds go to maintain the Community Hall and Arena throughout the year. This year’s production was dedicated to long time cast member and community theatre supporter, Ricky Block, who passed away this past September. photo by Becky Zimmer

Derina Harvey rocks Wadena By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

It was a special night in Wadena with the second installment of their Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils (OSAC) Quill Plains Regional Arts Council Concert Series, this time with celtic rock group Derina Harvey Band taking the stage on Dec. 2. The Edmonton based group kept the energy up and were a lot of fun, says event MC Marilyn Fredsberg, with Derina Harvey being very interactive with the crowd. The Arts Council had many worthwhile things to celebrate that night with Vi Haugerud being presented with the Volunteer 150th Award by Yorkton—Melville MP Cathay Wagantall.

The Quill Plains Regional Arts Council covers four communities with Wynyard, Wadena, Watson, and Kelvington. Wadena has been an Arts Council for 40 years, which was another reason to celebrate. Fran Meehan was a member of the first Arts Council and she was invited to speak about the highlights of the last 40 years. Meehan remembers two particular incidents; one involving their first concert with an opera singer who sang in Vienna, New York, and then Wadena. For their first show, they did not have a clue how it all went, says Fredsberg with the piano being brought in half an hour before the show was to start. One of their first visual art shows got a boost in visitation after guys

from coffee row offered their critique of a horse painting, Meehan told the crowd. According to one gentleman, one particular horse would not have been able to run based on how it was painted. After they left, she says, “we probably had 75 people through because of these two guys. They’re coming in to check out the art,” says Fredsberg regarding Meehan’s story. The group also had a special birthday cake to celebrate the milestone with Meehan, Wagantall, and Pamela Wallin there to cut the cake. This was the second show for the 2017-2018 OSAC series with Chris Henderson playing in Watson on Oct. 29. The council will continue their

Gushue, Jones best bets for curling trials’ wins By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

Question Period in Ottawa this week is going to feature this puzzler: Who will win the men’s and women’s Olympic curling trials and represent Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, in February? The answer will come Sunday, after a week of furious play featuring nine teams in each competition who went through gruelling qualifying sessions to make it this far. And let’s face it: the teams that wear the Maple Leaf on their Olympic sweaters are nearly guaranteed a medal — likely gold — because Canada is the world’s No. 1 curling nation. If the curling gods rewarded the teams that have been most dominant in the past two years, wearing the crowns Sunday will be teams skipped by Brad Gushue of Newfoundland and either Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg or Rachel Homan of Ottawa. Gushue has Olympic experience, winning gold back in 2006. Edmonton’s Kevin Martin, now retired, won gold for Canada in 2010 and Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie made it three golds in a row for Canada in 2014. Jacobs is back in the field in Ottawa this week, but Gushue — who won last year’s Brier and world championship and has been a dominant force on the World Curling Tour this year — is the overwhelming favourite. Other men’s teams with a flicker of hope of upsetting Gushue are Winnipeg’s Mike McEwen and twotime world champion Kevin Koe of Calgary. Others in the field are Reid Carruthers of Winnipeg, Steven Laycock of Saskatoon, John Epping of Toronto and the two rinks who made it into the Ottawa field in a pre-qualifying event in P.E.I. a couple of weeks back — John Morris skipping Jim Cotter’s Okanagan rink, and youthful Brendan Botcher of Edmonton. Jones and Homan have dominated the women’s curling scene in Canada for the last decade. Homan has won three of the past five Scotties’ (Canadian women’s) titles, while Jones has one during that span, along with an Olympic gold medal in Sochi,

Russia in 2014. The Jones rink is currently ranked No. 1 in the world, while Homan is third (behind Sweden’s Anna Hasselborg). Val Sweeting of Edmonton is a hardened competitor and could challenge for the Olympic berth, as might Lethbridge’s Casey Scheidegger, who has been hot on the World Curling Tour circuit of late. But if you’re planning on visiting Vegas before the competition begins, you’d be wise to put your dough on Gushue and Jones. • Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his wife are expecting their first child. There’s no excuse for not getting Mom to the hospital on time.” • Mitch Melnick in The Athletic, on the Montreal Canadiens’ woes: “Right now the only difference between the Canadiens and the Titanic is that one is old, rusty and at the bottom of the Atlantic. The other is a ship.” • TC in BC, recalling Roy Halladay’s Canadian Hall of Fame speech: “In a road game, fireworks were being shot off every time the home team hit a homer. After giving up three home runs in the first couple of innings, the pitching coach came out. Halladay told him whatever he had to say to keep it to himself. The coach said he had nothing to say, but just came out to give the guy time to reload the fireworks.” • Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle, on the Giants’ future: “Giancarlo Stanton is hanging out there like a blimp-sized piñata. Will the Giants take a legit swing at him?” • Another one from Ostler: “Sales are sluggish for tickets to the Winter Olympics in South Korea in February. Factors include high prices, a sagging world economy, and a reluctance to buy front-row seats for a nuclear holocaust.” • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Think this guy just might have an ink-cartridge endorsement in his future? Introducing Stanford placekicker Jet Toner.” • Brad Dickson again: “A University of Georgia linebacker was charged with misdemeanor possession of less than one ounce of marijuana.

Weather not the only market indicator

Calvin Daniels One truth of the life of farmers is that they keep at least one eye on the skies. At least that was the case when I was growing up. Weather controls the fate of a farm on a yearto-year basis, and the arrival of timely rains, avoiding times of excess moisture as seeding or harvest take place, and missing late spring and early fall frosts are all elements of turning a profit that farmers have no control over. So instead they looked to the sky for an indication of the weather and crossed their fingers all

would work out. Today the act of watching the skies is less an actual turn of the head skyward, and more of a watch on the internet to see not only what weather might be impacting the local farm, but also what weather is occurring in other grain growing regions of the world. As much as farmers focus on optimizing technology, nutrients, and farm chemicals, and the marketplace tries to stabilize things through forward pricing and stock market wrangling, weather remains the one key element of food production beyond control, so its patterns are watched closely. Grains and oilseeds sell into a very global marketplace. Canada is not the only country that sells wheat, or barley, oats or flax. Competition exists, but when that competition has weather which downgrades quality, or cuts yields it can

open the market door wider to Canadian production. The same weather that hurts quality and yields on a large enough scale can also send a message to the marketplace that supplies might be tighter, and that can send prices higher. As much as farmers focus on optimizing technology, nutrients and farm chemicals, and the marketplace tries to stabilize things through forward pricing and stock market wrangling, weather remains the one key element of food production beyond control, so its patterns are watched closely. So the news that came out of Australia Dec. 1, caught attention internationally for farmers. A Reuters story out of Australia picked up by the Western Producer noted heavy rains in eastern Australia were forecast to intensify over the weekend threatening

to wipe out or damage up to four million tonnes of wheat due to be harvested soon, with many grain storage sites forced to close. That is the sort of weather situation which sends a ripple through global wheat markets. Then, factor in another Reuters story a few days earlier out of Moscow suggesting Russia’s winter grain sowings are in a worse condition than a year ago. That may be significant since “Russia, one of the world’s largest wheat exporters, harvested a record grain crop this year mostly due to favourable weather in spring and early summer,” noted the Western Producer pick-up of the story. The Russian situation alone is not a huge threat to production but add in the concerns in Australia and there may be indications of weather impacts which could send prices higher moving into 2018.

Santa Claus returns to Watson for 86th year By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

Sleigh bells and jingle bells could be heard ringing out from Watson over the weekend as they Welcomed Santa Claus to town for their 86th Santa Claus Days. The two-day, Dec. 1-2 weekend event featured a number of fun activities for the whole family including a home based business show, turkey shoot, fireworks, late night shopping, pancake breakfast, family skate, and movie, among others, and was capped off by the 24th Supper with Santa. Santa Claus Days co-chair Debbie Schwartz notes that the weekend itinerary remains pretty well the same year-over-year, with the committee making minor changes, and says they will be looking to add some extra flair to Supper with Santa next year to celebrate its 25th anniversary. “We need ideas and we’re going to be thinking about that in the next year.� Family is a big part of the weekend says Schwartz. “That’s what we base it around and that’s what our events are about and we try to keep it as reasonable as possible so that families can afford to come out and have a good time.� Schwartz notes they work hard to make the weekend as affordable as possible, noting they want as many families to come as possible, and says they only charge for a couple activities as they look to break even. Overall Schwartz was pleased with how the weekend went, noting they had a great turnout and saw a lot of people visiting from out of town, which is always nice to see. “It’s exciting to get our name out there,� she says. Santa Claus Days also becomes a bit of a reunion

for a number of Watson residents, says Schwartz, with many making the trip back to town for the weekend with their kids and having the opportunity to catch up with old friends. Schwartz would like to thank everybody who made Santa Claus Days possible once again, noting that a number of local organizations are a great help in making the weekend a success. “And then of course Santa Claus. Thank goodness he’s around for the weekend and his elves

that help out.� Schwartz would also like to thank the many volunteers who help out each year, noting without the volunteers the committee could never host the days. “On every level there’s different groups that come out and say, ‘okay, I’ll do this, I’ll do this.’ There’s people that have done it for years and years so without them what would we do? So we couldn’t ask for better.�

Wakaw celebrates museums with Christmas Gala By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

It was a successful weekend for the Wakaw Heritage Museum Gala and Club 99 Seniors Club Heritage Christmas Festival with over 200 people coming to enjoy the festivities. Lois Novak with Club 99 says the Christmas festival has been going on since 1958 with some members who are participating now recalling going as teenagers. Over the last five years, the festival and the Museum Gala have joined forces to put the event on together with Club 99 hosting the festival and the Heritage Museum hosting the silent auction and gala event. “It’s really become a well attended community event,� says Novak. Around 40 items were donated from local businesses in the area for the silent auction with a small raffle also being included in the event. Money raised totalled around $2,118 going towards procuring and maintaining exhibits and general upkeep of the museum throughout the year. Club 99 collected money for Telemiracle at the door raising $576 to donate. The evening’s entertainment included local and historical artists who had ties to Wakaw and area with five different groups coming in to perform as well as a heritage group, says Novak. “We had heritage musicians as well that had grown up in this area or their families had grown up in this area who came in and played as a band. They hadn’t played together ahead of time but were able to bring it all together.� Novak says they are happy with the turnout and funds raised with this being the biggest fundraiser for the museum. The next major exhibit the museum is currently working on involved donations related to the Ukrainian/Greek Orthodox Church. “We’ve received part of the steeple from the church itself. We’re going to be making a display incorporating that into our 1900 Boomtown that we have downstairs in the Museum.�

The Bruno Stocking Spectacular was packed with both vendors and people for their Nov. 26 day of Christmas shopping. Vendors included everything from art to baking to crafts to books to home-based product vendors. Santa was also there to visit with around 60 kids competing in the “Cutest Kids’ Christmas Outfit” contest with the winner receiving a gift bag. With the amount of kids, parents, and grandparents, organizer Vickianne Caswell says this is one of the best events they have ever had. “I contacted many local businesses as well as some of my contacts, friends and family who generously donated treats for the Santa bags as well as items for the door prizes.” photo courtesy of Vickianne Caswell

Packed house greets 20th Marysburg Christmas concert By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

The Marysburg Assumption Church was full of Christmas cheer once again as the Marysburg Regional Choir hosted their 20th annual Marysburg Christmas Concert. The show featured a set of 24 songs including Christmas favourites, O Come All Ye Faithful, Once in Royal Bethlehem, and Away in a Manger among others, before wrapping up with the traditional Silent Night. “It kind of speaks for itself and I know that a lot of churches use it as well during the Christmas season. It’s just a very good tradition that seems to keep on going,� noted choir director Sharon Carter. Carter noted she began picking the set for the show in June by searching for music on the internet, saying she tries to mix in old favourites with some new songs. Once the set is put together the choir begins practicing after Thanksgiving, giving themselves approximately six weeks to prepare. “It’s a lot of music to learn in a short time,� notes Carter. In addition to the regional choir, the show featured a children’s choir and hand bell choir, who all played in front of a packed house. Carter admits that it is always a wonderful feeling to see a packed house, noting it lets them know that the show is appreciated. “I think one of the reasons that we have a lot of people is that Marysburg has a long tradition of doing a Christmas concert. And I think also the number of

she expects the show will return again next year. Editor’s Note: Previous articles on the Marysburg Choir noted that this would be their 19th concert in Marysburg. Due to a miscommunication, it was noted after publication that this is actually their 20th such performance.
