NEWS HORIZON SCHOOL DIVISION

%&)&-&"# -*!!"/+- ),# '#,#.&#( !/"(/,$ Devan C. Tasa Editor The Horizon School Division will help schools purchase new-style 15-passenger vans that can be used to transport students to extracurricular activities like sports games.

If a school submits a feasible plan to raise the money to buy a van, worth around $50,000, the division will finance the purchase.

The new-style 15-passenger vans are outfitted with new technology that make them a lot safer than the old-style vans that five schools in the division are still using.

“There have been provinces that have outlawed this [old-style] van,” sad Kevin Garinger, the division’s director of education. “That hasn’t happened within this province.

They’ve left it in the hands of school divisions and in Horizon we have been trying to limit the use of those van because we feel it’s not as safe as other types of transportation, in particular school buses.”

Instead, schools have been using school buses,

There was a debate by the board about the financing plans, with fears that schools would overwhelm the division with requests, but in the end, they decided that the director of education would take the

necessary steps to control demand and administer the program.

The decision was made at the Dec. 12 meeting.

SSBA RESTRUCTURING As the body that rep-

resents school board is reviewing itself, Horizon wants it to look at its fee structure and how decisions are made.

The president of the Saskatchewan School Boards Association, Shawn Davidson, came to talk to Horizon board at its Dec.

12 meeting.

“One of the things we’ve talked about as a board is every school division is given so many votes when it comes to passing a bylaw or resolution at the [annual general meeting] for the SSBA,” said Linda Mattock, the division’s vice-chair.

“We want those to be more aligned with the fee structure that we’re under.”

The votes each division has and the fee each divisions has to pay is based on the number of students they have, but while there’s a maximum cap on the fee a division has to pay, there is no cap on the number of votes.

“In larger divisions, like one you would find in an urban setting, they have a larger number of students and so they get a larger number of votes at the table and yet their fees are not that much different from small school divisions such as ours,” Mattock said, “We want to see some equity in that respect.”

NEW OFFICE The division will be moving into its new office at the end of December, with everything functional by the time students return from the holidays.

With around 95 per cent of the bills paid, the new $5.5 million building is expected to be on budget.

BRONCOS CRASH

13 recommendations given for crash intersection Devan C. Tasa Editor Areview of the intersection where the Humboldt Broncos collision took place recommends rumble strips, wider shoulders and removal of sightblocking trees, among other improvements.

The independent review of the Highway 35-Highway 335 intersection, conducted by McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd., gave 13 recommendations, ordered by priority.

Chris Joseph, a former NHLer whose son Jaxon died in the crash, told the Canadian Press all of the recommendations are good.

“We definitely want to make the roads safer,” Joseph said. “I mean, that’s pretty much all we’ve got, right? We lost our son and we’re just hoping to avoid future accidents like that.”

In a media release, the province promised to implement all of the recommendations.

1. Sign improvements The report said many of the signs near the intersec-

tion are too low in height and too far away from the highway, while being too close to the intersection.

Signs telling drivers to slow down and to go at 60 kilometre per hour added since the collision do not meet regulatory standards.

To fix these issues will cost $15,000 to $18,000 and should be done within two years.

2. Pavement messages A “Stop Ahead” message should be painted into the pavement when drivers should slow down on Highway 335, while a “Stop” message should be painted right at the intersection. This will cost $1,500 and should be done within two years.

3. Tree removal The trees on the southeast corner of the intersection should be removed to improve sight lines.

“There are some elements along westbound Highway 335 that could lead to tunnel vision. This includes the road alignment, horizon, trees, and power poles,” the report read, adding the effect could focus motorists

eyes away from the stop sign. “The illusion was observed to be even more pronounced during wet and/or sun glare conditions.”

The trees are on private property and there would have to be negotiations.

Ian Boxall, a RM of Connaught councillor, said to the Canadian Press he didn’t think the owner should be asked to remove the trees.

“If you follow the rules of the road and stop at the stop sign, the trees aren’t an issue,” he said.

That is expected to cost $15,000 and should take two to five years.

4 & 5. Remove pull out/ permanent memorial The northwest corner of the intersection used to be a service station, but has since become a pullout where trucks can park.

Since the collision, it’s been the site of a temporary memorial.

If the memorial wasn’t there, the recommendation would be to remove the pull out at a cost of $20,000.

A permanent memorial should be considered at a safer location that’s set far

enough from the highway to be safe and has a seperate access road.

“We want a roadside memorial, we don’t want it to be a distraction,” Joseph said.

6 & 7. Breakaway signs Those examining the intersection couldn’t determine if the railway signals and lights were fixed solidly into the ground or had the ability to break away if hit. If they aren’t designed to break away, they should be replaced.

That would cost $10,000 and should be done in two to five years, if necessary.

8: Rumble strips

Currently, the stop signs are 120 by 120 centimetres, the largest sized used in Saskatchewan. In some of its intersections Alberta used stop signs that are 150 by 150 centimetres.

That would cost $3,000 and be done within two years.

10: Solid centre line The current lines on Highway 35 allow vehicles to pass at the intersection.

The report recommends making the lines solid to stop that, which would cost $3,000 and should be done within two years.

11: Elevator access

9. Larger stop signs

The turnout to the Cargill elevator on the northeast side of the intersection is 100 metres north of the intersection. The report recommends moving the access onto Highway 335 further away from the intersection.

That change would require negotiations with private landowners and cost $250,000. It should be done over the long term.

The report recommends larger than standard stop and stop ahead signs.

In all four directions, the shoulders are smaller than

Rumble strips should be added to Highway 335 on both sides of Highway 35.

The RM of Connaught had asked the provincial government to add the strips in a letter that was sent after their April 9 council meeting.

The strips would cost $150,000 and should be done in two to five years.

12. Widen shoulders

the two metre standard given by the highways ministry. To widen would cost $200,000 per kilometre per side.

13. Realign power lines Eleven sets of power lines cross the intersection, increasing visual clutter and increasing the mental load on motorist. The cost to realign the power lines was unknown.

Rejected recommendations Making the intersection a four-way stop was rejected by the report, which said it would make it more dangerous.

“Rear-end collisions on Highway 35 would likely increase with the implementation of a four-way stop controlled high speed junction,” it read.

A roundabout is not recommended due to the higher traffic volumes on Highway 35 compared to Highway 335.

“The costs associated with the implementation of a roundabout could be better used on other mitigations or at locations suffering from a higher collision frequency/rate.”

EAST CENTRAL TRADER

Are Canadians moving away from meat?

Research studies always seem to be interesting in what they unearth, and also leave you wondering exactly how the data was collected.

Survey data is generally accumulated off the responses of people to a series of questions. As someone in media, I am aware questions are not all created equal. They can be phrased to illicit certain responses, or they can simply be ambiguous enough that the answers are generic enough to be open to interpretation.

So whenever I see a

Part One of a collection of the best quips of 2018, January through June Greg Cote of the Miami Herald, after the Yankees acquired 59-home run slugger Giancarlo Stanton: “In the Bronx, Yankees fans are partying like it’s 1927.”

Norman Chad of the Washington Post, on ESPN’s saturation coverage of even minor sporting events: “If ESPN televised The Last Supper, it would’ve had tableside reporters assigned to each apostle, with pregame and postgame studio shows from Bethany Wild Wings in east Jerusalem.”

Jesse Ventura also made the leap from wrestling to politics.

Why is it never the other way around? Sen. Orrin Hatch announces he’s stepping down to compete at

Calvin Daniels survey with somewhat surprising results, at least in my mind, I run through questions in my head regarding the validity of the results.

The first step is to look

at who did the research, and unlike some, I still hold a trust of academic institutions.

So the latest Food Price Report from the University of Guelph and Dalhousie University is a survey that should have merit in its results.

And that is what is surprising here, and had me writing this column.

The data mined in the survey are suggesting Canadians are showing increased interest in reducing meat consumption, while increasing their purchases of plant-based proteins,

which would naturally seem to go hand-in-hand.

If you eat less meat you typically have to look to plant-based sources for your protein.

My first response to this was that consumers are making a decision based on their pocketbooks, and meat is a high cost item in the grocery cart.

While I appreciate there are those who peruse ingredient lists and make choices without worrying about the price tag, there is a reason store shelves are lined with low-cost options, because there are

those where price is the only factor considered when making a purchase.

Many Canadians simply do not have the income to look at food options with higher costs.

The university report did suggest an increase of 1.5 to 3.5 per cent in the average Canadian food bill in 2019, the lower end being modest as production costs always seem to rise because of utilities, wages and taxes. The report also noted at the upper end of the potential increase a family of four would see their food bill rise about

With that in mind I had expected prices to be why Canadians were suggesting a move away from meat.

However the report suggests vegetable prices are likely to increase, while meat is forecast to decline.

It will be interesting to watch this play out to see if Canadians are merely curious about plant-based proteins as a current ‘hot’ consumer topic, and will try it and then filter back to more familiar meat sources, or if this is a true cultural change in terms of what we eat?

HUMBOLDT-LANIGAN RCMP

Letters and packages stolen &-!# %-'"! ,!*) .&$+( Devan C. Tasa Editor The Bruno Post Office was broken into and letters and packages were stolen.

Humboldt-Lanigan RCMP said the crime happened in the overnight hours between Dec. 7 and 8.

“It’s believed a stolen white truck was used in the commission of these offences,” said Cst. Geoff Applegate with the RCMP. That truck was found near St. Denis shortly before noon by Saskatoon RCMP on Dec. 8.

“It appears to us at this time the stolen truck had left the roadway and the suspects had left the scene,” Applegate said.

“A number of the letter mail and parcel packages were seized along with the truck and were transported to Saskatoon, where the Saskatoon forensic identification section is assisting with this investigation.”

Some of the letters and packages were found in the truck.

“It’s not believed that all of the packages and

letter mail was left in the truck,” Applegate said.

“It’s believed that they were picked through.”

Humboldt-Lanigan and Saskatoon RCMP are activity investigating.

Those with any information are asked to contact the RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

DRUNK DRIVER CHARGED A 26-year-old Nipawin man has been charged with impaired driving after police discovered his blood alcohol content was more than two times the legal limit.

The HumboldtLanigan RCMP received a complaint about a possible impaired driver in LeRoy at Dec. 9 at 11:30 pm. They arrived in the area and located the suspect vehicle.

The man was taken back to the Humboldt detachment to give breath samples. His truck has been impounded for 60 days and he’ll make first appearance at Humboldt Provincial Court in January.

Applegate thanked the

public for their vigilance, noting they’ve been receiving more calls about possible impaired driving as well as suspicious activity in general.

“We have, as a detachment, noted an increase in call volume in regards to suspicious activity and impaired driving and this file from LeRoy is one of the examples where a suspected impaired was reported, it was confirmed and he was now facing charges.”

HORIZON SCHOOL DIVISION

Division receiving $70,000 less after Englefeld merger Devan C. Tasa Editor With the merger of the Horizon and Englefeld Protestant Separate school divisions comes a loss of $70,000 worth of funding from the provincial government.

K e v i n G a r i n g e r, H o r i z o n ’ s d i re c t o r o f education, said the loss comes down to the funding formula the province uses to determine what each school division receives.

“We’ll continue to ensure we advocate for continued support in terms of funding to offset those types of things but we’re also recognizing that education of our children will continue and we’ll do that with the current funding envelope that we’ve been provided,” he said.

“I think the board and the administrative staff here at Horizon work hard to make sure that $70,000 decrease is not felt by students in the classroom,” said Linda Mattock, the division’s vice-chair.

The merger was official June 30, 2018.

SSBA FEE The Saskatchewan School Boards Association is asking Horizon to pay $10,000 in connection with Englefeld Protestant Separate School Division’s membership fee.

Englefeld’s fee was around $20,000. It paid half of it to cover the half a year it existed before it merged with Horizon.

It decided to do this because the provincial government placed caps on governance spending that year, which have since been removed.

Englefeld’s limit was $21,000 and there were expenses associated with the amalgamation.

Horizon is also arguing the association’s bylaws addresses a division that’s withdrawing, not one that ceases to exist.

“The bylaw, the way it’s written, would suggest that a school division would have to give almost two years notice to follow the bylaw to the letter,” Mattock said.

“In this case – and I think in any case – we didn’t know two years ahead

of time, Englefeld didn’t know two years ahead of time they were looking at amalgamation.”

Shawn Davidson, the president of the association, told the Horizon board that they were open to negotiating a deal due to the circumstances.

“It’s not a matter of the dollars. We are very concerned about the precedent set by violating our bylaws.”

On an April day in 1908, Archibald G. MacLean set out on a long walk.

MacLean had arrived from Prince Edward Island a few years earlier and was working as a clerk in the Govan general store.

Ambitious, he wanted more. When he heard that the Grand Trunk Railway line was being built from Melville to Saskatoon, he walked 46 kilometres from Govan to the site chosen by the GTR for the town to be called Raymore.

MacLean acquired several lots, and set up business in a tent. By 1908, he had built a general store, and by 1911, he had constructed a threestorey hotel. To finance the hotel, MacLean set up the Raymore Trading Company with two partners, whom he later bought out, becoming the sole o w n e r. M a c L e a n a l s o served as Raymore’s first postmaster, a position he held until 1950 when he retired.

By 1916, according to the Canada census, William “Bill” Baker, age 55, and his wife Ida, age 48, were the owners of the Raymore Hotel. The Bakers ran the hotel with the help of two Chinese cooks, a waitress and a porter. Dances and fancy dress parades were held in the hotel, presided over by Bill Baker, smoking an ever-present cigar.

When Prohibition hit, the Bakers quit the hotel business, selling the hotel to Mah Yuen and Ping Sam. The Chinese owners ran

the hotel throughout the 1920s and into the 1930s.

They sold soft drinks and ice cream, and featured t h e R a y m o re M o v i n g Picture Show in the hotel every Friday and Saturday nights.

In 1935, the year the provincial government allowed the sale of beer by the glass in hotel bars, Mah Yuen and Ping Sam were unable to obtain a license to open a beer parlour at the Raymore Hotel.

Chinese people were excluded because the law required that an applicant for a liquor license had to be a person who was entitled to vote. The Chinese in Saskatchewan did not receive the provincial franchise until 1947.

The Raymore Hotel was taken over by John “Jack” and Vivian “Vi” Morrow, f o r m e r l y o f Yo r k t o n .

“Raymore welcomes the new manager at the same time that they regret the departure of the genial Chinese gentlemen who for 16 years have been consistently good citizens of the village,” the newspaper reported.

Jack was born in North Dakota in 1890, and came to Saskatchewan in 1908.

He went overseas during the First World War, and was later hospitalized for

three years, suffering from shell shock (now known as post-traumatic stress disorder). In 1925, Jack met Vi in Regina, where she worked as the manageress of the Hotel Saskatchewan coffee shop. They married in 1928. Violet Jane Roe, born in Manitoba, took her first hotel job at age 14, when she became a waitress at the Shaunavon Hotel.

Two years later, she was employed by the Hotels Division of Canadian Pacific Railway. Vi worked for ten years at CP hotels in Banff Springs, Lake Louise, Saskatoon, and Regina.

After her husband Jack died in 1957, Vi continued to operate the Raymore Hotel with the help of her son, Bob. Prior to her retirement in 1967, Vi was awarded a life membership in the Hotels Association of Saskatchewan. She was the second woman to have spent 50 years in the hotel business.

Shortly after Jack and Vi Morrow arrived in Raymore, they applied for a liquor license for the hotel. A local option vote was required by government liquor regulations, and the town vote was affirmative – by a narrow margin. A beer parlour was incorporated into the Raymore Hotel. Vi was never able to enter, or work in, the beer parlour until the 1960s, when provincial liquor laws finally permitted women to drink in bars – with escorts.

In 1937, a severe hail and wind storm tore the metal roofing off the Raymore

Hotel, hurling it across Main Street. Heavy rain soaked the hotel rooms on the third floor, seriously damaging the interior which had recently been redecorated.

With the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, the Morrows faced a new challenge at the Raymore Hotel. So many people left to join the war effort that it became impossible to find employees. Jack became the bartender and Vi became the cook.

Their two oldest children, Jack Jr. and Imelda were enlisted to wait on tables, make beds, do the laundry twice a week, and myriad other chores. The youngest Morrow child, Bobby, had to stand on soft drink cases and wash dishes in the hotel kitchen.

The family still mana g e d t o h o l d re g u l a r Saturday night dances at the hotel throughout the war years. These dances came to an end following the war, when the beer parlour was expanded due to an increase in business.

In 1956, fire broke out in the Raymore Hotel.

Fourteen guests in the 33room hotel had to be evacuated when flames were discovered at 9:00 in the morning. Some guests lost their belongings, but fortunately no one was injured.

The Raymore Volunteer Fire Department managed to extinguish the blaze, but the third floor of the hotel had to be removed from the building as a result of the fire.

The Holiday Spirit

By EJ Cortez 4./(& " 2 !#.-, 2 1&+0$ )*%003 There once was a spirit who spread holiday cheer. He laughed and danced through ground and air. He had a name, the Holiday Spirit.

Before Christmas Eve he had to rest. He tumbled and stumbled down the stairs. But something was missing from all the rest.

Nothing was gone in there that he could see, but something was missing in his room. He looked around, but nothing missing was found.

It was then he knew what should be found.

He was the Holiday Spirit, but with no joy. He was just a plain old spirit. This made him down to the blues. If he had no joy, then he can’t spread the holiday spirit.

With no joy all will be doomed.

Wars will break loose with no joy to

be found. He had to find joy before Christmas Eve. This was a time with no Santa or reindeer, for they were lost in a furious storm. When Santa was gone, wars broke loose. When the wars came, the spirit came to calm everything down.

The spirit left his house and started his journey. He already saw mad kids and parents. They screamed and pouted more.

He started to search the seven seas and other countries as well.

When Earth had no joy, he searched the universe. He searched Mars, Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Saturn and even its moon, Titan, but no joy.

When he reached another galaxy, Andromeda, he had a great idea. So he flew back to Earth, searched the seven seas. When he reached the Arctic Circle, he found Santa in a

deep coma.

He searched around, hoping to find the reindeer. He called out, “Dasher, Prancer, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Vixen, Dancer, Blitzen, and Rudolph, where are you?”

When Santa heard all the reindeer’s names he woke up and whistled.

All the reindeer came out of the snowbank with the sleigh and landed right beside Santa.

Santa hopped on, the spirit hopped on too.

Santa rode to the North Pole that was a short while away. All the elves were down, but when they saw Santa they were jolly happy elves.

This caused the spirit to become the Holiday Spirit once again.

Santa and the Holiday Spirit rode around the world and gave presents and cheer. The holiday cheer is saved once again.

Santa and the Ghost Elf

By Regan Bilodeau 4./(& " 2 '%#.( 2 1&+0$ )*%003 Everybody loves Santa, but have you seen the the Ghost Elf? You haven’t? Well buckle your buns on your seat and let’s go!

It all started the day after Christmas. One elf had his life lived for him. Until the jolly fat man kicked him out – he knew this would happen one day.

So he made a chemical called “the ghostifier.”

This turns elves into, well… ghosts.

His plan was to control the new elf leader to tell Santa to make him No. 1. He named himself “THE GHOST ELF” because he found out he can’t control people.

Also, he forgot to make an antidote. So he put gloves on so he could make a control potion.

But Santa knew about ghosts, so he had to risk an elf to save the day. This elf is named Bob Joe. The plan was to set up Bob Joe to get controlled, then Santa would bring out the ghostbusters.

The only reason Bob Joe wanted to do this is because he hates his life and he wants money.

So Bob Joe rides on Rudolph to the ghost elf’s base. Santa came 20 minutes later because he rode on Donner, and Donner loves his snacks.

He stopped five times.

Finally Bob Joe was ready. The ghost elf took control of Bob Joe and Santa and the ghostbusters came and sucked up the ghost elf. Bob Joe became famous and rich, that is when he liked his life.

Rudy, the Pink-Nose Reindeer

By Megan Baclaan 901(& ! 6 )&+24( 6 5&,2$ )+%227 I’m pretty sure you have heard the story of Rudolph, the Red-Nose Reindeer.

So Rudy has a bright nose like his father, Rudolph.

Since the other reindeers heard about Rudolph’s story, they try to be friends with Rudy, but Rudy doesn’t like to communicate with other reindeers.

When the other reindeers say, “Hi Rudy,” he just says, “Hey,” back, then prances away.

Rudy is just nine years old in human years. But in reindeer years he is 13 years old.

Anyways, Rudy just likes spending time in his room, playing video games and wondering why he has a pink nose.

Rudy just want to be treated like a normal reindeer, but every reindeer his age makes him feel like a superstar because his dad leads the sleigh for Santa.

Rudy does not want to have that much attention.

Rudy wants to be recognized for who he is.

He wanted to figure out why he has a pink nose, so he went up to his dad and asked, “Dad, why do I have a pink nose?”

His dad answered, “Oh, well, because you’re special. Everybody is special in their own way.”

“Well, I don’t want to have a pink nose. I want to have a normal nose,” Rudy explained.

“Nobody is perfect, Rudy. You have to accept yourself for who you are.

How about you try to make some new friends?” his dad asked.

“Okay, I’ll try to make some new friends,” Rudy answered.

The next morning Rudy tried to make new friends.

At the end he made a new friend named Comet Jr. Comet Jr. is the son of Comet Sr. Rudy was happy and from then on he wanted to lead Santa’s sleigh when Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer didn’t want to lead Santa’s sleigh anymore.

That is the story of Rudy, the Pink-Nose Reindeer.

In the stable the reindeer were discussing how to get Santa to replace them. Dancer said, “Why don’t we run away?”

Prancer, second in command, said “No,” and lead reindeer Rudolph agreed.

“But why?” Dancer whined.

“They would get us back with magic,” Prancer said, irritated.

They each said their ideas

that were all rejected by the second-in-command.

Then all of the sudden Blitzen said, “I know. We retire!”

“Great idea,” said Prancer. “We’ll tell them tomorrow.”

The next day. “Hey, Santa, wake up. We are retired,” said all the reindeer. Santa woke up, surprised.

“You’re retired?” Santa screamed, and all the reindeer nodded their heads. “This is a joke,” said Santa.

“No,” said Cupid. Then Rudolph, Prancer, Dancer, Donner, Cupid, Vixen, Comet, Dasher and Blitzen left to the stable.

On Christmas Eve, we get set up for supper and wait for our relatives to come. When they are here, we laugh and have a lot of fun! The fun continued until it was time to say goodbye, but the night wasn’t over just yet!

My mom turned on Christmas movies for us to watch. When we were waiting, we heard something on the roof! My mom quickly shut off the TV and told us to stay quiet. My heart was pumping so loud, I could hear it through my ears!

Just then, we saw Santa crawl out of the chimney! We were pretending to be asleep.

Santa put our presents under the Christmas tree and left. My mom and dad both went to sleep after that. They told us not to open the presents until the next day.

My brother went to his room and went to sleep. I tried to go to

sleep but I couldn’t. My curiosity got the best of me.

I crept down the stairs and went to my present. I was feeling guilty about this. My brain said no, but I kept going. I unwrapped my present very carefully, not making a noise.

When I saw my present, I was in disbelief! I got coal for Christmas! I was so sad!

I went up to my room, being all blue, and went to sleep.

The next day I woke up, not wanting to get out of bed. My brother was all excited, but I wasn’t. I got out of bed and went downstairs.

I saw one present sitting under the Christmas tree. My mom said it was for me. I opened it and saw my real gift! I saw a letter and it said, “Next time don’t open your Christmas presents early! From, Santa Claus.”

Merry Christmas from

Village of Muenster

A wolf cub named Haru was still young. He was only a year old, but old enough to join the pack hunters. He was excited that he was going to join hunt this Christmas Eve. When he was wandering in the forest he saw a bird. Its feathers were golden and its beak was diamond. He wondered how it could fly, but when he stopped wondering about it the bird flew down in front of him. The bird stared at him with a long silence, then finally the bird scratched his front paw. It didn’t bleed or hurt, it was just there and it healed instantly. Then it started to snow and the bird vanished in the air.

When he got back to the den, the pack hunters were back from hunting.

He walked out of the bush and showed himself and they were confused. He looked at them and at his paw where the wound disappeared. His paw was turning gold, and his claws and sharp teeth were turning to diamonds.

When Haru was 10 years old he was still searching for the bird that turned him into a golden wolf. It made him stronger and faster. Until he heard a

He followed the sound until he saw a shiny figure in the tree. The bird had a golden feathers and a beak made of diamonds. The majestic bird flew away.

Haru started to chase the bird. He quickly chased it until it led him to the same spot he found it.

Finally it turned around to fly down in front of him and scratched him like before, but the opposite paw. Then there were sparkles in the air. His fur claws and teeth were back to normal.

By Lukas Tuplin 7-.&% 8 4 6/1/*-.+5% 3%1,"/1 4 2%)/# '($//5 One day Santa, Mrs. Claus and the elves were eating dinner when the elves went crazy and started breaking everything!

Mrs. Claus and Santa were terrified and ran as fast as they could into another room and there was a clown standing inside!

So the clown ran after them! They ran into a different bedroom and there

were like 30 elves inside and a lot more clowns.

But when they got into the room and saw them, the elves yelled: “It was a PRANK!” The elves were just trying to scare Mrs. Claus and Santa.

Santa and Mrs. Claus did not like that so they got really mad and yelled at them. Then Santa said, “Where are the reindeer?”

The elves said that they thought that you were going to go into the pasture to get on them and leave.

Santa wanted to go and check on them and they all went outside to see the reindeer. Right when Santa opened the door the reindeer went crazy because they never knew that the

prank was over.

“The prank is over!” yelled Santa.

After eveyone settled down they all went back to the house to finish dinner.

FEED RISKS

Ranchers advised to watch for mycotoxins

Jessica R. Durling Trader Writer The Ministry of Agriculture’s Tisdale office is advising farmers to watch out this time of the year for mycotoxins in their feed.

“It’s just a good practice to watch what’s in your feed,” said Alicia Sopatyk, regional livestock and feed extension specialist with the Tisdale office of the agriculture ministry. “It’s not like this was an extremely bad year or things like that, it’s just something to be aware of.”

Mycotoxins are a group of harmful toxins produced by certain types of fungi including mould that are only detectable with lab testing. They can be found in both stored feed and fresh feed and can be present in green pastures, cereal swaths, standing corn for winter grazing, cured and ensiled grass, cereal forages, crop co-products (straw, distillers grains, grain screenings, oilseed meals) and commercial feeds.

“Once they’re typically present in the plant they’re going to be in that stored feed so it’s just a good practice to monitor for that,” Sopatyk said. “So if you are seeing signs or if it’s a year you might have some mycotoxins present, just test for that. That way you know it one way or another what’s actually present. In terms of mold and things like that there are some storage considerations that way.”

While the feed may be difficult to tell if it’s infected visually, there are sometimes cues.

“Sometimes there are visual cues,” Sopatyk said.

“You can see they’re discoloured, they look black, moldy even. In the case of fusarium it will sometimes have a redish tinge. But all that aside you can test for mycotoxins and that’s the best way to go about it.”

Mycotoxins can create a variety of problems for beef cattle including reduced health and productivity.

One symptom of mycotoxin poisoning in cattle includes animals consuming less feed. A feed reduction greater than 30 per cent should be investigated.

Other symptoms include a decrease in growth or performance of animals; a failure of animals to thrive; animals seems to be frequently sick which may indicate immune suppression; animals do not respond to antibiotics; animals have convulsions, muscle spasms or temporary paralysis; gangrene or lameness is present, especially in the animal’s ears, tail and feet; animal

having a fever, or intermittent bloody diarrhea; blisters, reddening, or ulcers in the mouth; abortion and premature births occur; reduced lactation and fertility issues such as weak testicular development and low sperm count in bulls.

“Some years are worse than others for certain mycotoxins. So ergot being one that typically likes hot humid type conditions so

sometimes we get those years and sometimes we don’t. So regardless of the environment sometimes they do show up, it depends on how susceptible the crop is. So for example rye is extremely susceptible to ergot so you will sometimes see ergot bodies present in the rye even though it may not be an extremely hot or humid year for summer.”

Sopatyk advises to test if there is a concern and to bring those numbers back to either their nutritionist or livestock specialist in the area.

“We can help them go through their numbers based on what they’re feeding and see if they’re actually at a safe level or not.

If they’re not what can we still do to utilize those feeds in a safe manner.”

To test your feed mycotoxin you can send it into Prairie Diagnostic Services in Saskatoon.

“There are safe levels that you can feed it out at so that’s why it’s really important to test to get those numbers. Just because you may or may be able to see, for example, an ergot body it’s the be all end all,” Sopatyk said. “There are safe levels you can feed it

out at which is where those numbers from testing really becomes important, and if it is extremely high, say that number comes back high, there may be options to dilute that feed out and still be able to utilize it.

Just at a smaller level than you would if it was free of mycotoxins.

BLOCK: Werner Arden October 25, 1954 - December 7, 2018 It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Werner Arden Block, 64 years of Jansen, SK, on Friday, December 7, 2018 at Lanigan Hospital surrounded by his family. Werner Arden Block was born to Elsie and William October 25, 1954 in LeRoy, SK. He was the baby brother to three older sisters. He was the first of the children to be born in Canada and to have a middle name. He attended Drake Elementary School, graduated from Lanigan High School in 1972 and drove his VW Beetle to Saskatoon. He studied Industrial Chemical Technology at Kelsey, where, aside from learning about electrical and chemical engineering, he became a star bowler and crokinole ace. He moved to Regina to work as a lab technologist in the Occupational Health & Safety department. He quit his good government job to take over the farm from his parents in 1977; and, in 1981, after trying to make a dollar farming, he married Kathryn Bella and, she too, quit her good government job to join Werner on the farm. Jennifer was born in 1984 and Sarah in 1985. He took welding and lathe courses and was a Saskatchewan Wheat Pool delegate from 1984 to 1991. In 1991, Kathryn died from breast cancer and Werner had a new mission: to raise two girls. He made cookies for events at school, sewed elastic on ballet slippers, and demonstrated how to braid with electrical wires at the vice in his shop. He remarried in 1994 to his biggest regret and divorced in 2001. With his resources depleted, he started working at Blair’s Fertilizer in the winters from 2005-2011. He often relayed tales about coffee time and the colourful characters, with even more colourful language, at Blair’s. In 2010, Werner was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He continued to farm but the landscape began to change as the BHP Billiton Potash Mine was developed and neighbours began to leave. To accommodate for the mine, the grid road north of the farm needed to be built up and the road crew set up at the end of the lane. In the fall of 2014, Werner was tapped to join the road crew and was able to run the excavator which had been on his bucket list. He was reported to be quick learner, and as he often did, created lasting friendships with the crew long after they’d left. Around the same time, he met Linda Schmidt at the bowling alley in Jansen, and they became special friends. Werner retired from farming after the 2015 crop year and rented his land after 38 years of farming. He spent the following summer preparing his equipment for auction while continuing cancer treatment. Unfortunately, in the spring of 2016 the prostate cancer metastasized to his bones. Though his prognosis wasn’t good, he always remained hopeful, and continued finding new hobbies. He explored new territory on his side-by-side and purchased a 1962 International 660 tractor and joined the tractor pull circuit in 2017 and 2018.

He made it into the winner’s circle half of the time and delighted in having an audience. His health rapidly declined in his last weeks but he never lost his sense of humour. He passed away peacefully with his daughters at his side December 7, 2018. Werner was a self-described ‘fixer-kind-ofguy’ who in his last years kept a white beard for a ‘mountain-man’ look. He loved the farm and was particularly fond of his shop where he spent many hours fabricating. He built the things he couldn’t afford including a bandsaw, air compressor, press, and bin crane and kept his appliances running well past their life expectancy. His biggest project was building his house and he was a pioneer of the used-oil furnace for shop heat. He spent countless hours reading, gaining vast electrical and mechanical knowledge. He valued helping his neighbours and serving his community in various roles, most notably as a Credit Union Director. He loved high fidelity home audio and listening to music, especially the blues. He was a steward of the land and was vocal about his opposition to the BHP project. It was thought he might be on a BHP watch list, so, if he was, kindly remove him.

He was quiet, but a bit of a rebel starting with drilling holes in the side of the barn as a boy, and saw anything ‘tamper-proof’ as a challenge. He was often called upon for advice and did his best to impart his ‘it never hurts to ask’ negotiation tactic to his daughters. Werner had faith in Jesus and after the Temple Baptist church closed he fellowshipped with the Zion Lutherans. He was easy to like, a true friend and had a special ability to engage in conversation. Werner was predeceased by his wife Kathryn Bella-Block and parents William and Elsie Block. Werner leaves to mourn his passing and celebrate his life: his daughters, Jennifer and Sarah; his special friend Linda Schmidt; sisters Gertrude Kellman, Agnes (Bill) Hamilton, and Ingrid (Ernie) Doerksen; nephews Randy (Betty) Muller, Curtis Nickason, Cory (Lorie) Nickason, and Tyson Willick; nieces Gaileen Muller and Jessica Willick; great and great-great nephews; parents-in-law Anita and George Bella; sister-in-law Elaine Bella (Cliff Willick) and brother-in-law David Bella; as well as numerous relatives and friends. The Funeral Service for Werner was held on Friday, December 14, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at Zion Lutheran Church, Jansen, officiated by Pastor Glenn Shore. Interment took place in the Esk South Cemetery. Memorial Donations in Werner’s memory may be directed to the Esk South Cemetery or Prostate Cancer Society. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Malinoski & Danyluik Funeral Home, Humboldt (306-682-1622).
