Tobacco products stolen from Yellow Quill Store Staff Two men broke into the Yellow Quill Store on the Yellow Quill First Nation and stole a large quantity of cigarettes, tobacco products and

lighters.

The crime happened at approximately 4:30 am on Dec. 19. The two suspects were seen leaving the scene in a white late model Ram 2500 or 3500

Mega Cab, with black front and rear bumpers.

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

HORIZON SCHOOL DIVISION

Horizon looking at gym expansion for Punnichy Elementary Devan C. Tasa Editor Punnichy Elementary could see a major expansion to its gym.

At a board meeting Jan. 16, Horizon School Division trustees voted in favour of costing out and designing a 100 square metre expansion to the school 222.8 square metre gym Punnichy’s gym is small

by Horizon standards, with the average size for an elementary school in the division being 305 square metres.

Kevin Garinger, the division’s director of education, said the current gym doesn’t serve the needs of the school.

“We’re going to improve the conditions of the gymnasium there, which is going to be tremendous.”

I’m looking forward to having that done for the students at Punnichy Elementary.

“I think it’s a great idea,” said Jim Hack, the division’s chair. “I’m looking forward to having that done for the students at Punnichy Elementary.”

The project will be funded by a deferred capital capital revenue fund aimed at schools where there’s First Nation children attending. There’s approximately $1 million left in the fund, which cannot be spent for any other purpose. Earlier this

school year, the division tapped into the fund to pay for a portable for Wadena Elementary costing around $300,000.

Expanding the gym was one of the three options the school board look at.

The other two options proposed building a brand new 450 square foot gym, adding on to either the east or west side of Punnichy Elementary. Cost estimates to do that were around $3 or $4 million.

HORIZON SCHOOL DIVISION

Questionnaire assesses readiness

Staff Parents and caregivers of pre-school children across the Horizon School Division will be able to test their child’s readiness for school.

The ages and stages questionnaire will be administered at the division’s elementary schools starting Jan. 23 and going until April 17.

“Horizon School Division would like to ex-

plore the way early learning is supported and funded for our children and families,” said Kevin Garinger, the division’s director of education. “Saskatchewan’s ministry of education has expressed interest in looking at our proposals, but we need data to support our goal.”

The division has used the questionnaire in previous years mainly for children attending its seven Pre-

Kindergarten programs. It says the expanding the test is an important step to provide better access to early learning opportunities for children in rural areas.

Each testing event will be open all day, with no appointment required.

Individual questionnaires will take approximately 30 minutes. More details on specific schools and dates are on the division’s website.

NEWS WAKAW SCHOOL

Improving communication key focus

Devan C. Tasa Editor After a review of its effectiveness a year ago, Wakaw School focused on improving communication.

Darryl Dickson, the school’s principal, gave a follow-up report to the Horizon School Division board on Jan. 16 about what Wakaw School has done since it underwent a review of school effectiveness on Oct. 26, 2017.

He told the trustees the school focused on three items: improving communication, getting community stakeholders more involved and expanding non-athletic extracurricular activities.

“Communication really came through, not only to me but our whole staff, as the one major piece that was going to change a lot of the outlook from what stakeholders were actually seeing,” he said.

Kevin Garinger, the division’s director of education, said the review sees division administrators come into the school and talk to teachers, students and support staff over the course of a day to gather data about how staff can

“We’ll put together a report that they will be able to utilize, but at the end of the day, they know their situation better than anyone, they’re the ones living it every day,” he said. “I think it’s a very positive thing that we work through and ultimately it means that they’re going to be able to make some deci-

sions based on some really important data that will ultimately improve conditions for children.”

Dickson said when they started to make changes after the review, there were problems communicating both inside and outside the school.

“Our school newsletter, for example, was not really working well,” he said. “It was written from the office only and I don’t

think it was that wellreceived. We’ve changed that. This process allowed us to get students involved.”

A group of student volunteers writes the newsletter. The student representative council manages the school’s Instagram account. An educational assistant manages the Facebook page. A teacher and his communications class update the website.

Teachers communicate with each other using tools provided by Google.

“That whole communication piece came together out of that process and I think the whole [review] process really made it easier for me to encourage these people to help out,” Dickson said.

Communication was also key in improving stakeholder involvement.

Dickson said there were a

lot of misconceptions about what was happening in the school at the beginning.

“Now the message is out there, it’s out there really strong,” he said. “On top of that, we’re celebrating the success of our students and I think people seeing that has really improved the impression that they school leaves in the community.”

There was also an effort to train the school community council about its roles and responsibilities.

The school has expanded its extracurricular activities, offering more in places such as drama and the arts.

Better communication has also improved how extracurricular activities are promoted.

“Wakaw School this year is probably the busiest it’s ever been,” Dickson said.

Garinger said he was pleased with the result of the report.

“It really told us what we do know about Wakaw,” he said. “We’ve got a really good that is on a path toward being great, and communication and those types of things are critical in that.”

Robot farmers closer to public debut?

“

“

It was only a few issues back I wrote about the anticipated emergence of increased robotic farming.

And then thanks to one of my social media connections I came across ecorobotix.com If you are not familiar with the company as a farmer you will likely become aware of it, or at least its technology soon enough.

The company is developing a 100 per cent autonomous robot which will apply herbicide for in-field weed control.

There are several aspects of the machine that they are working on which make it both innovative, and very intriguing from

Most intriguing is that the robot uses sensors to identify weed plants and then apply the herbicide directly to that %(()1 05) 356" ,3 ,#( !)(5,!4() %(()-

Calvin Daniels the perspective of farmers.

To begin with, the field unit would be solar powered. To be able to take the operating cost of fuel out of the equation has to interest producers and in a world headed toward a carbon tax the prospect of alternative energy sources makes sense.

Of course on a broader scale, the move to a solar powered unit follows a growing worldwide trend to evolve away from the use of non-renewable energy sources. That may not be good news for a highcost oil producer such as Alberta, but the world is making huge steps toward alternative energy sources.

The autonomous robot here is shown in a video crossing the field on legs

not so unlike a mechanical spider. The interest here of course is reduced footprint and plant disturbance when applying herbicides.

And then most intriguing is that the robot uses sensors to identify weed plants and then apply the herbicide directly to that weed, and only to the identified weed. The impact here is twofold, starting with reduced application of product, which is not only

a major cost-reducer, but is environmentally sound.

While such cutting edge technology will come with a large upfront cost, at least initially, the prospect of no operator to pay, the safety element of not having someone on-board a bonus, coupled with fuel and herbicide savings, the machine, or at least one with similar attributes has to have farmers very interested.

In the case of crop protection products, and nutrient applications as well, the opportunity of highly targeted application opens up huge opportunities as the cost is reduced from that of broadly applying across an entire field.

However, what may be most interesting with this is to wonder what is next?

This unit is being shown online in a video, go check it out, but that only happens when a company has achieved a certain level of developmental success.

What is being worked on behind closed doors that still have a few kinks to work out, but are close to a public debut? The potential is exhilarating to imagine.

Brady going after sixth Super Bowl crown

“

“

Three weeks before the Feb. 3 Super Bowl in Atlanta, a compelling quarterback matchup for the big game was virtually guaranteed.

The four survivors leading into the AFC and NFC championship games were led by quarterbacks easily compartmentalized: In one group were the old guys, Tom Brady of New England and Drew Brees of New Orleans, who are without dispute among the greatest QBs of all time.

The other group were the young bucks, superstar-to-be and this year’s most likely MVP Patrick Mahomes of Kansas City, and Jared Goff of Los Angeles Rams, who has thrown 60 TD passes in the last two seasons.

So what would the Super Bowl matchup be?

The two old goats against each other? The two kids firing end zone passes all day in Atlanta? One of the old guys against an upstart?

Championship Sunday on Jan. 20 provided great theatre and when it was all over, football fans will get to see a classic on Feb. 3: Tom Brady, the greatest

Bruce Penton of all time, vs. one of the young bucks, Goff.

Both conference championship games went to overtime, both were beset by controversial officiating calls and both games were won by the visiting teams.

For Brady, who at 41 is defying common wisdom that football is a young man’s game, will be playing in his third consecutive Super Bowl and fourth in the last five years. Overall, this year’s game will be Brady’s record-setting ninth appearance in a Super Bowl.

He owns a 5-3 record and don’t bet against him boosting that to 6-3 come Feb. 3.

Goff, meanwhile, was the NFL’s No. 1 draft pick in 2016 but suffered a terrible rookie season for the

4-12 Rams, going 0-7 in the seven starts he was given.

But coach Jeff Fisher was fired, 30-year-old offensive guru Sean McVay was brought in as coach and it was if the new coach sprinkled all-star dust all over his young quarterback. In season 2, 2017, the rejuvenated Goff threw 28 touchdown passes, led the Rams to an 11-5 record and a playoff berth. The natural progression continued in 2018 (13-3) and now the Rams are one win away from pro football’s pinnacle.

Brady, however, stands in the way and even though Brady and coach Bill Belichick suffered a 41-34 loss to Philadelphia in last year’s Super Bowl, it’s not likely to happen again.

Wheat genome blueprint accelerates innovation WRITTEN BY SARATH PEIRIS Breakthrough research in creating a comprehensive blueprint of the wheat genome will bring disruptive innovation to wheat breeding, predicts University of Saskatchewan crop scientist Curtis Pozniak, whose team played a key role in the successful international wheat genomics project.

“The wheat blueprint will enable us to decipher the genetic basis of important traits in wheat, such as genes responsible for resistance to fungal diseases and pests. That is the disruptive part. What took years to do before can now be done in a matter of a few weeks,” said Pozniak, a wheat breeder at the Crop Development Centre (CDC) in USask’s College of Agriculture and Bioresources.

New knowledge generated by the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium over the past 13 years is expected to have a huge 19014UU0 19014UU1

impact on global food security, with the planet’s population projected to reach 9.6 billion within three decades.

“From a breeding perspective, the blueprint will enable us to develop DNA markers for breeding. These markers will allow us to improve the efficiency of selecting important traits, which will ultimately help produce better wheat varieties over the long term,” Pozniak said.

The next step for the USask team will be to lead the 10+ Wheat Genome Project – a larger-scale international initiative to sequence more than 10 cultivated wheat varieties from the main growing areas across the globe.

“We are very excited about this project.

The idea is not use just one genome sequence, but make a comparative analysis of many sequences simultaneously,” Pozniak said.

“To understand what genes do in wheat plants, you need multiple sequences so you can start comparing to really appreciate all of the differences. You can then associate these differences with important traits we select in breeding programs.”

Andrew Sharpe, director of genomics and bioinformatics at USask’s Global Institute for Food Security and co-lead with Pozniak

on the wheat genomics research, is also excited that the new project will yield a lot of data on genomic variation that will help the agriculture industry respond to environmental changes.

“We’re hoping to work out all the different gene variations that could have an impact on traits,” Sharpe said. “Basically, we will end up with a catalogue of variation and how it impacts a crop in the field.”

Because the CDC has been involved from the beginning of the wheat genome project, researchers here have the benefit of a two- to threeyear early access to the information, he said.

“You will see that reflected in the new varieties that ultimately come out of the breeding pipeline,” Sharpe said.

“By helping with selecting the most optimal plants in a breeding cycle, you end up with better performing cultivars being generated quicker than they were. That’s important, particularly in a changing climate,” said Sharpe.

Kirby Nilsen, a recent USask PhD graduate and now an assistant plant breeder at CDC, is among the first researchers worldwide to use the blueprint to develop pest-resistant wheat crops. He used the genome sequence to identify genes responsible for solid wheat stems, which act as a barrier to sawfly damage.

MITACS FUNDING SPARKS STUDENT INNOVATION

Pilot project advances applied research

Five Saskatchewan Polytechnic students are tackling bullying and creating augmented reality systems with innovative new applications they’ve developed through applied research projects.

The students, enrolled in the Computer Systems Technology diploma program, are the first polytechnic recipients of Mitacs funding in Canada, thanks to a new pilot project recently opened to Canadian colleges and polytechnics.

Mitacs is a national, not-for-profit organization that has designed and delivered research and training programs in Canada for 19 years.

Working with polytechnics, colleges, universities, 4,000 companies, and both federal and provincial governments, Mitacs builds partnerships that support industrial and social innovation by funding student research internships.

“This was a trial to find out how well polytechnics and colleges could take advantage of this program, and the results turned out to be a win-win for both the students and their industry partners” says Dr. Terry Peckham, research chair with the Digital Integration Centre of Excellence.

Students Chris Nguyen, Draden Sawkey and Rafael De Luna partnered with the Restorative Action Program (RAP), a non-profit group that works with Saskatoon’s public and Catholic high school divisions.

RAP provides local high schools with facilitators who offer students

counselling, conflict resolution and leadership skills training.

Peckham says RAP needed a new system to measure the effectiveness of their program.

“Until our students became involved all RAP could do was use anecdotal evidence, so we’ve started the process of building a system to track and quantifying some of those results.” He adds that no one in the field has addressed this challenge. As a result, “within a few years they will probably become the leading research base for this type of interaction with high school students throughout the world.”

“We were very impressed with the entire process,” says Winston Blake, RAP’s executive director. He says RAP originally approached Sask Polytech with the idea of digitizing their current system, but the students explained why a complete overhaul with realtime, quantifiable data would better serve their needs. “The students were able to educate us about how technology can work within the context of our program,” says Blake. “They helped us understand the availability of current technology to actually meet our needs.”

The other Mitacs grant supported a partnership project with Glacier FarmMedia (GFM). The students, Corey Janzen, Luke MacNeil and Rafael De Luna, were tasked with creating an augmented reality application for GFM’s Ag in Motion outdoor farm expo, held annually near Langham. With a three-

day show that has over 450 exhibitors and 30,000 visitors, Ag in Motion had a very specialized need for a custom app.

By downloading the app onto their cellphones, expo attendees gained access to wayfinding information, event details and schedules, bonus information about crop varieties, the inner workings of farm machinery and much more. In return, GFM’s exhibitors (and GFM themselves) gained crucial insight into the attendees’ interests and behaviour, such as how many attendees walked by each booth, how many stopped and for how long. “There are all sorts of wonderful types of tracking information that the exhibitors get, and Ag in Motion needs,” says Peckham.

Ag in Motion plans to continue development of the app, with enhancements coming forward each year.

The impact of these applied research internships is mutually beneficial for students and industry partners. Industry partners gain access to cutting-edge technologies that lead to measurable outcomes, while the students gain knowledge that is very difficult to obtain in a classroom setting.

“The skill sets the students learn are incredibly valuable,” says Peckham. “Our students were able to impress the clients enough that they’re coming back for more work, and the companies get to move their applied research projects forward that they weren’t able to move forward before.”

Canadians have choices for post-secondary education Despite a diminishing supply of skilled trades workers, fewer young people than ever are pursuing these occupations in Canada. There remains a stigma around so-called blue-collar jobs, and young people are frequently unaware that professions in the trades can in fact be highly lucrative and rewarding.

Skilled workers are in demand, and unlike many other types of employment, these jobs cannot be sent offshore. While no sector is impervious to economic downswings, many trade workers enjoy job security even during periods of great turmoil.

University vs. trade school A streamlined path into a trade often involves completing a vocational program at a trade school. Unlike university programs, which require all students to take a variety of complementary (and often unrelated) classes, vocational programs focus entirely on preparing pupils for the reality of their

chosen professions. In comparison to the four years it takes to complete an undergraduate degree, trade programs can either be two-year associate degrees or even shorter certificate programs. This means trade school students can enter the workforce well ahead of their university-educated peers, and are also far more likely to find employment in a position related to their studies.

Crokicurl: the sport of the season JESSICA R. DURLING REPORTER

MELFORT — Melfort’s new sport, crokicurl, has taken off in the city.

Shannon Marshall, aquatic manager and recreation programmer for the City of Melfort, said they have been getting lots of positive feedback about the sport.

“We’ve saw a ton of people use it,” Marshall said.

“People have been having a lot of fun with it.”

Crokicurl is the combination of the board game crokinole and the winter sport of curling. It was created in 2016 at Winnipeg.

“It took off and it’s kind of the newest trend in winter reaction activities, so we decided to bring it to Melfort,” Marshall said.

“Winters are long as it is so if we can create a little outdoor fun, then that sometimes helps make the season seem shorter.”

Crokicurl is played as a larger sized version of crokinole, on the ice, with lighter curling rocks made of plastic or wood.

In Melfort it is wood.

To create a 10-foot snowman JESSICA R. DURLING REPORTER

TISDALE — Building snowmen isn’t something new for Silas Myrrh and his siblings, but remains a winter activity nonetheless.

That was how residents of 104th Avenue in Tisdale found themselves living beside two snow-

men standing at about 10 feet tall – towering over people who walk by.

The snowmen took five people to build: Myrrh, three of his siblings and his two-year-old nephew.

“It was just a fun project we were doing,” Myrrh said. “I made snowmen in the past, it’s just a fun thing to do. It’s not an ev-

ery year activity we do.”

The snowmen were standing there for about two weeks before the photo.

“I don’t know how they’re still standing, they’re pretty crooked right now,” Myrrh said. “I thought they would have fallen over for sure right now.”

Here are a few things to have on hand should you end up staying home with your children during a snowstorm.

• The right outdoor clothes: snow days are best spent outdoors, but your kids need to have all the right clothes so they won’t get too cold or too wet. Check that everyone in your household has winter jackets, snow pants and insulated, waterproof boots. Make sure to keep extra gloves, scarves and hats on hand; these items of clothing often end up disappearing while kids are off sledding and making snow forts.

• Warm beverages: classic snow-day drinks like hot chocolate, peppermint tea or spiced apple cider will warm everyone up after a day out in the cold. On days when the weather’s too bad to go outside, hot beverages will help create a cosy atmosphere at home.

He didn’t remember who came up with the original idea that day to go out building snowmen, but remembers how it went.

“We had a few ideas, we were going to just build one snowman in the front, but my brother, he made the base for one and I was rolling a ball

that was going to go on top but it was too big so it just went beside it and we built two.”

Originally they didn’t intend for it to be as big as it was.

“We didn’t necessarily start out making it that big, but we used a ladder in the end, to lift the last few pieces and then

• Arts and crafts supplies: art projects can be a great way to keep kids occupied on days when it’s too cold or snowy to play outdoors. Keep supplies like crayons, markers, paints and paper around so you can pull them out before anyone starts to complain about being bored.

• Board games: board games are a classic way to spend snow days as a family. Getting children involved in a heated game of Monopoly, Risk or Chutes and Ladders will make the time pass quickly for all of you.

With these ideas in mind, you’ll be able to keep your kids entertained for hours on end, even during the snowiest of snow days.

I made a hat for them.

The last pieces weren’t very heavy, but I was tall enough to climb the tall ladder.”

Moving the snow required a bit of creativity.

“We actually slid a board underneath it. Me and my brother carried the board and we had my SEE SNOWMAN PAGE 10

He recommends people to go out and build a

We all have to shovel: do it safely JESSICA R. DURLING REPORTER

TISDALE — Snow shoveling has its own unique health risks and techniques to decrease those risks.

“I think lower back and shoulder injuries are probably the most common,” said Sharrie Glister, workplace health and safety co-ordinator at the Melfort Hospital, with the Saskatchewan Health Authority, adding those bent wrong way for too long or who have musculoskeletal injury or disorder could increase the risk of injury exponentially.

There is also risk to the heart, according to Bettylou Fagmou, registered nurse and patient education with the Saskatchewan Health Authority.

“People with a known heart disease are going to be at a higher risk for having a heart attack while shoveling snow,” Fagnou said. “If they are shoveling snow, things to watch out for would be lightheadedness, being dizzy, being short of breath, tightness or burning in the neck, chest or back.”

If people are experience any of those things for more than a few minutes, Fagnou advised that they should stop what they’re doing and call 911.

She also advised not smoking an hour before shoveling snow or eating a large meal right before you go as the blood is diverted to the digestive system when eating and blood vessels are constricted when smoking.

Glister formally taught a safe lifting program to the nurses and other staff at the hospital and suggested a specific technique to reduce harm to the body.

“In the transferring lifting and repositioning program we teach ergonomics, which is your ears lined up over your shoulders and your shoulders lined up over your hip,” Glister said.

Don’t be this guy (above). There are techniquest that can help keep shovelling safe and make it less of a chore at the same time.

STOCK PHOTOS

“So that doesn’t mean you have to stay directly up and down, but even if you’re bending forward a little bit, you don’t want your arms too far forward. If you can just picture your shoulders being back and more in line of where your hips are. Of course, you want your upper half and your bottom half going in the same direction.”

The positioning of the feet and legs are so important.

“You don’t want to plant your feet and twist your body because that’s twerking the spine,” Glister said. “You don’t want your legs completely straight, you want your legs in a stride stance, one foot in front of the other so when you go to scope the snow, or push

the snow, your whole body can transfer, go in the direction of the move.

Where if you have your feet side by side, you’re going to bend probably at the waist or above the waist which can cause the vertebrae to squeeze at the hips and that can be an issue, for sure.”

“The basics, of course, are keeping a good body alignment, but something that really helps is to push it rather than to shovel it.”

Shovels can also have an impact on posture.

“You want, again, to keep a neutral posture,” Glister said. “A neutral posture for your shoulders is that they will stay flat. You don’t want to have, when you’re holding onto a shovel, for your hands to be so high you’re

feeling like your shoulders are lifting up towards your ears because that is just going to strain them.”

According to Glister, an adjustable handle length handle will minimize painful bending.

“Sometimes products are promoted as being ergonomic, but they’re not really ergonomic unless they’re adjustable because you need to be able to adjust the height to fit you, so if the curve is a fixed curve in a shovel and it’s too low for you or too high for you, it’s not going to do any good.”

Warming up before shoveling is another way to help prevent injury, for both the heart and muscles. Cold, tight muscles are more prone to injury than warmed up, flexible muscles.

Friday, January 25, 2019 |11

Fagnou suggested waiting 30 minutes before shoveling after getting up in the morning to help the body warm up.

“You can’t build your muscles in an instant, but for sure, warming them up,” Glister said. “Just that little bit of activity. Sometimes even just by the time you get your shovels out there an d all that that can be a little bit of help.”

Doing some stretches can also help rest the muscles when you’re doing the job.

“Your body is going to be, at some point in there, probably bent forward and your shoulders are going to be going forward just because of the nature of the job you will be doing. So every few minutes, or anytime someone feels any strain in the lower back, just stand up straight, kind of guard their lower back and just give a gentle stretch....

Because sometimes resting your muscles doesn’t need to be lying down and resting necessarily, sometimes we can rest our muscles differently.”

Taking your time is an important aspect of shoveling or lifting any heavy loads to prevent injury.

“If you haven’t exercised a lot, shoveling snow, especially if it’s cold, breathing in the cold air and then that exercise.

Some people just want to get it done and you’re going hard at it, that could really cause some issues.”

She also suggested to not hold the same posture for too long.

“You can strain muscles by overworking them and doing something

that’s too heavy or doing many repetitions. But holding a posture can be very hard on a person, especially if it’s in an incorrect posture. That reverse stretching can be really good,” Glister said. “Stretch it back, or put your arms down, roll your shoulders back to stretch out your pectoral muscles a bit, to get your shoulders back in line with your hips, that sort of thing. That can help.”

There are also some musculoskeletal injuries where shoveling can make things worse, but with some shoveling may actually help.

“If you have some sort of musculoskeletal injury, let’s say some type of rotator cuff issues, I’m not going to say that they can’t, but they should definitely consult, even just phoning into a physiotherapist or an exercise therapist.

Because sometimes exercise is a good thing, even if you have something sore. But there are some conditions if those muscles are already inflamed and then you go to do something as difficult as shoveling, especially if it’s a lot you can actually exacerbate that injury and make it worse. ” Fagnou suggested to consult with a doctor to find a personalized opinion before you shovel if you have a heart condition.

“Consult your physician if you do have a heart condition, whether or not you should be shoveling snow,” Fagnou said.

“Everybody’s condition is different.”

STAR CITY — For Henry Jespersen, being an avid shoeshoer gave him the chance to see a rare sight during an outing at Greenwater Lake Provincial Park.

“There were two lynx on the middle of the trail – just playing with each other,” the Star City resident said. “Rough and tumble, like a pair of kittens.”

He froze in his tracks and stood there, watching.

“It felt like half of forever or only 20 seconds,” Jespersen said. “It was just a magnificent moment watching wildlife doing what wildlife do without any awareness of human presence.

“I just watched them and they never realized I was there. It was one of those golden moments that I’ll treasure forever.”

That was over a decade ago, back when he was still living in Archerwill.

For Jespersen, snowshoeing is a way to have fun during winter. He doesn’t remember how he first got into snowshoeing, but thinks it was in his late teens or early 20s in California, where he grew up in the mountains.

“Snowshoeing provides me a wonderful opportunity to be outdoors in the winter,” the 72-yearold said. “Whether I’m in a city park, like we often do in Melfort, or we go out into the woods or somebody’s farm, or if I make a solo trip up into the bush around Wapiti – the ski area. I love being outdoors in it and seeing the animal tracks.”

While Jespersen loves to ski too and does it regularly, he finds snowshoeing has unique advantages.

“I probably ski once twice or maybe even three times a week,” he said. “Cross-country skiing, I can’t do downhill skiing anymore, my knees just won’t take it. I live in Star City, snowshoeing allows me to get out of the house. I can get out across the field or wherever and not worry about the terrain or what the wind is going to do to it.

“If I try to go skiing, the wind ... it fills up my tracks behind me, and with snowshoeing I don’t have to worry about that.

I can just go and enjoy it.”

Jespersen also helps others get into the sport.

He’s volunteer coach in snowshoeing for the Melfort Special Olympics, something he started four years ago when he was approached by a running buddy.

“Now that I’m retired – and I don’t want to go back to work if I can help it – I was looking for something to do and one of my running buddies said, ‘Well, we need some more volunteers.’ ‘A volunteer doing what?’ And he suggested snowshoeing, and well, I’ll try it.

So one Saturday I joined them to see what it was like and I had a blast. I loved it. I loved working with the athletes, the people in Special Olympics.

That combined with my love of being outdoors, and it fit like a glove.”

“I like going with our special athletes and we see tracks and we’ll stop and talk about them, ‘what are they?’ ‘what do

you think they’re doing out here?’ and things like that.”

Jespersen suggests if you’re interested in snowshoeing, just go out and do it.

“Find a pair to wear and they can go out with me one day, or just get a pair, borrow a pair, or go out in the woods. Around the creek, past the golf course in Tisdale are marvellous trails that people walk in the summertime.

Marvellous place to go snowshoeing, and the animal tracks that you will see from especially after a fresh snowfall.”

He also suggests walking poles could be an asset for keeping balanced.

“Snowshoes can be clumsy at best [and you] kind of have to do a waddle kind of walk when you’re first learning.”

When teaching snowshoeing to people, he suggests falling down first.

“You have to have a sense of humour because you’re going to fall,” Jespersen said. “Once I show them how to put their snowshoes on and ask them to walk in them, the first thing I ask them to do is fall down so that they can learn to get up.”

After learning to fall and get back up on a firm surface such as a driveway, people are ready to get out into the snow, “a foot of snow, 18 inches of snow, and then fall down there, and how to get up there without floundering, and struggling and flailing away.”

Anyone interested in contacting Jespersen about snowshoeing can email him at henryj. running@gmail.com.

Viscount News Sandra Reid Contributor Eight ladies met this week, Monday Jan. 14, at the Viscount Library to work on blanket-making for Blankets for Canada.

We are steadily working towards making as many blankets as we can using yarn as well as the knitted and crocheted squares given to

us by volunteers. Both these gifts, along with the hours needed (and given by volunteers) to put together these blankets, result in lovingly made, beautiful blankets that are then given to shelters for the homeless and shelters for women and children. We thank everyone who helps in this endeavour.

On Saturday Jan. 19 there was 13 people that attended the Viscount Seniors Fundraising Breakfast. Workers were Chris Rault and Louise Barlage. Winner of the lucky looney pot was George Gray.

The Viscount Library Book Club has just finished reading the novel T h e M e m o r y K e e p e r ’s

Daughter by Kim Edwards.

Our new book is a non-fiction called Kabul Beauty School by Deborah Rodriguez.

Thank you to all that helped to make this week’s news possible.

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

SAFETY

During International Snowmobile Safety Week, held from January 19 to 27 this year, all you sled fans are asked to remember that it is important to behave responsibly when driving your vehicles.

There are few basic tips that can help you prevent accidents.

First, inspect your sled before each outing, and wear a safety helmet and suitable clothing for trail riding.

It is absolutely essential that you tell someone where you’re going before setting off, and even better, avoid going out alone.

Stay on marked trails, which are by far the safest.

You should also have a survival kit with you at all times, as well as a cell phone. Having these items can mean the difference between life and death.

Enjoy the trails and all that this winter brings, but stay safe.

Donna Harpauer, MLA Humboldt-Watrous 632 9th Street Humboldt, SK Ph: 306-682-5141

Drive at a safe speed, staying at or below 30 km/h in residential areas or on unfamiliar or uneven ground. That will give you enough time to react to any unexpected terrain or dangers.

When driving at night, reduce your speed and check your front and back lights before heading out. Make sure that your machine is equipped with side reflectors, and choose clothing and a helmet that feature light reflecting tape or trim.

Finally, don’t forget that it is illegal to drive a snowmobile while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The authorities practice a zero tolerance policy for DUI, even for snowmobilers.

The International Snowmobile Safety Week was founded by the International Snowmobile Council, whose aim is to promote safety to North America’s four million sled fans.

Have fun… Stay safe!

LAKE LENORE LIONS ICE FISHING DERBY

&"% $/, 2,*) .3-(% -) 1-!% 1%0/,% '%,+# Devan C. Tasa Editor For the first time in the Lake Lenore Lions Ice Fishing Derby’s 10 year history, there was a tie for first place.

Glen Leniuk of Bruno and Dayton Klashinsky of Humboldt each caught a 6.02-pound jackfish.

The tournament organizers decided to add the $10,000 first place payout and the $4,118.28 second place payout and divide it into two equal halves,

resulting in each fisher winning $7,059.14 Leniuk caught his winning fish early in the day with something special.

“A homemade hook,” he said. “I made it myself two days ago.”

Klashinsky also caught his fish early on.

“I hope it holds up,” he said when recalling what he was thinking when he caught it. “There was a lot of time left in the day, so I was hoping that fish would hold up.”

There were 657 registered at the Jan. 19 tournament, with 60 fish caught.

Some other big fish caught included Bailey Schmidt’s 5.77-pound jackfish, Robin Robinson’s 5.61-pound jackfish, Craig Kinder ’s 3.44-pound walleye, Conrad Worth’s 2.65-pound walleye, Garth Smith’s 2.62-pound walleye and Rick Fries’ 1.19-pound perch.

There were more than $18,000 in cash prizes and around $15,000 in items

from a random draw that included all the fishers except for cash prize winners.

Both fishers have been at the derby before.

“I try to come every year. It’s one of those things I look forward to every year. It’s a good time for sure,” Klashinsky said. “Come on out. It’s a good tournament.”

Leniuk said it’s important to keep supporting the Lake Lenore Lions Club.

When Jack and John Morrow opened the Shell Lake Hotel in 1957, only men were allowed in the beverage room. On Saturday nights, while the farmers were enjoying each other’s company in the bar, their wives often had nowhere to go. According to the Shell Lake local history book (1983), the Morrows made a tiny room in the hotel basement available where the women could visit without disturbing, or being disturbed by, the men. Saskatchewan beer parlours were men-only establishments until the early 1960s, when provincial liquor legislation permitted mixed drinking in newly christened “beverage rooms.”

Throughout 1958, the Saskatchewan’s Liquor Sales Outlet Inquiry Committee received 40 written briefs and heard 80 presentations from various organizations.

Rev. T.E.J. Gibbon of the Saskatchewan Temperance Federation, for example, strongly opposed having women in beer parlours.

“There are many nice women who would like to have a drink, no doubt,” Gibbon said, “but there are many of the other kind, and it would provide them with a nice, warm office.”

In March of 1959, the committee made three main recommendations: Beer parlours should be improved; the liquor act should be more strictly enforced; and there should be mixed drinking outlets.

On April 1, 1959, the Liquor Licensing Act was passed by the provincial legislature. It established a process of local options votes whereby

licensed dining rooms, cocktail bars, and beverage rooms could be established in Saskatchewan communities. Women were allowed into these new liquor outlets. Regulations required that hotel make renovations to convert their beer parlours into beverage rooms in order to accommodate mixed drinking.

Men-only beer parlours could continue to operate, but no beer parlour licenses would be issued to hotels not already licensed at the beginning of 1959.

Local option votes were held in 195 Saskatchewan communities in November 1959. Most of these communities voted “No” to the new types of liquor outlets. They would have to wait until 1964 before they could vote on the question again. Leask was one of the few villages in the province that voted “Yes.” On Feb. 11, 1960,

the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix reported that the Windsor Hotel in Leask opened the first beverage room in rural Saskatchewan. The 150-seat beverage had been decorated in shades of mocha, rosewood and aqua, with matching furniture, receiving “general praise” for its appearance.

Millions of dollars were spent by the hotel owners of Saskatchewan to improve their licensed outlets. For example, Joe and Bernie Kaufman, owners of the Ponteix Hotel, made extensive renovations to convert their beer parlour into a beverage room in 1961. The result, the town’s local history book observes, was a more pleasant space that included a fountain, a large aquarium, and carpeting throughout. Ab Montgomery, proprietor of the Tisdale Hotel, spent $60,000 enlarging and renovating his beverage room in 1964. The Leader-Post reported that carpet, acoustic tile and inset lighting were installed, a new entrance was constructed, and new tables and chairs were added to the Tisdale premises.

The new liquor law improved Saskatchewan’s drinking culture. At the 31st convention of the Hotels Association in 1962, Stewart told the delegates that, since the passage of the Liquor Licensing Act three years earlier, the overall standards of beverage rooms were “magnificent,” adding that women had lent the new drinking establishments “an air of decency.” A provincial government study of the drinking habits of residents in an unnamed town reported in 1963 that the “dire predictions that the new beverage outlet would sharply increase drinking in the community have not been fulfilled.”

It would take another ten years before the last men-only bars disappeared in Saskatchewan. The StarPhoenix wrote on May 25, 1972 that the Warman Hotel and the Marchwell Hotel were the last two beer parlours in Saskatchewan that did not allow women to drink in their premises.

FREDERICK: Franklin Leroy Nov. 21, 1922 - Jan. 4, 2019 Franklin Leroy Frederick of Watson, SK, passed away on Friday, January 4, 2019, at Royal University Hospital, Saskatoon, SK. He was 96 years of age. Frank, the eldest of four children, was born to Lloyd and Mildred (nee Crosswell) Frederick on November 21, 1922, on the homestead in the RM of Spalding. He grew up on the family farm northeast of Watson and attended Green Meadow school. He farmed with his dad and brother Orville and then took over the family farm at a very young age. Frank met Violet at a Spalding dance - the two of them loved to dance. Frank and Violet (nee Whetter) were married on June 12, 1944 and had three children - a son Garry in 1945, a daughter Maxine in 1952 and a son Blaine in 1960. They lived on the family farm until Maxine started school in Watson and then they moved to town as Frank thought it was easier for him to pack a lunch and drive to the farm than the kids riding the bus every day. Frank worked hard on the farm, breaking new land, growing crops, raising chickens, pigs and cows. In the winters, Frank cut ice blocks and logged at Carrot River. After his dad and brother moved to Hope, BC, Frank would join them to work on construction in the winters. Once Blaine was old enough, Frank and Blaine farmed together. Frank actively farmed until 2008 and then became the gopher on the farm until just a few years ago. Frank very much enjoyed life. He loved to laugh and socialize. We will all remember his hardy laugh, quick wit and sense of humour. Nothing was more important to Frank than his family. He was very involved in the lives of his children and grandchildren as he taught them to enjoy the lake and attended their various activities. In 1976, the family cabin at Fishing Lake was built where his children and grandchildren spent most summers fishing, water skiing and swimming. Frank enjoyed these activities, as well as hunting and snowmobiling with his family and friends. Frank had a fascination for lights. He collected all sorts of lights, lamps and light fixtures and spent many hours fixing and displaying them.

He decorated his cabin, home and yard with these repaired lights and won the Christmas Light Contest in town several times. This became his full-time passion once he retired from farming. Yard work, gardening, spending time with the greatgrandchildren, homemaking and taking care of Violet kept him very busy. Frank will be sadly missed by his wife of 74 years, Violet (nee Whetter) Frederick; their son, Blaine (Shelley) Frederick of Watson and family, Brad (Katy) Frederick and family of Medicine Hat, AB, Lucy, and Frankie; Shanna (Corey) Keyes of Watson and family, Quinn, and Isaac; Jenna (Aron) Friesen of Watson and family, Jade, Karys, and Kingston; Brett (Catherine) Frederick of Watson and son, Theodore; son-in-law Ronald Geyer of Watson and family, Tia (Myron) Staniec of Humboldt, SK and family, Blake, Brydan, and Myla; Boe (Julie) Geyer of Watson; numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins; and a host of good friends. Frank was predeceased by his son, Garry Frederick; daughter Maxine Geyer; parents Lloyd and Mildred (nee Crosswell) Frederick; brother, Orville Frederick; sister, Patricia Fishbrook; sister, Elva Frederick; numerous brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law; nephews, Rockeny Frederick and Douglas Strelic; and by his father-in-law Richard Whetter. The Funeral Service was held at the Watson Civic Centre, Watson, on Friday, January 11, 2019, at 1:00 p.m., officiated by Rev. Al Hingley. The eulogy was delivered by Marion and Joe Yates. Music ministry was provided by organist Norma Weber and members of the Watson Community Choir. Honorary pallbearers were “all those who shared in Frank’s life.” Active pallbearers were Brad Frederick, Boe Geyer, Brett Frederick, Myron Staniec, Corey Keyes, and Aron Friesen. Interment followed at Clear view Cemetery in the Daphne district. Memorial donations may be directed to the Quill Plains Health Care Foundation Inc., P.O. Box 277, Watson, SK, S0K 4V0.

ENGELE: Wilfred Aug. 23, 1937 - Jan. 14, 2019 The death of Mr. Wilfred Alfred Engele, 81 years, of Humboldt occurred on Monday, January 14, 2019 at Humboldt District Hospital, with family at his side.

Willie was born on August 23, 1937 to Julius and Mary (nee Huber) Engele in Humboldt. He grew up on the farm near Carmel and attended Highgate and then Carmel Schools. Following his education, he worked, together with his brothers on the family farm. On December 29, 1959, Wilfred married Dianne Schlachter. Willie ventured out one winter to work on the Diefenbaker Dam but other than that, he spent his life farming. They ran a mixed farming operation, involving cattle, hogs and some chickens over the years. In 1966, Willie and Dianne moved to their own farm near Dixon where they farmed until retirement in 2008. At that time, they moved in to Humboldt and enjoyed getting to know their new neighbours. Willie still kept an eye on things at the farm which their son Aaron was now running. He enjoyed watching many sports on TV including wrestling, Roughrider football, baseball, hockey and curling. He also liked bowling, playing cards and going to the Casinos. Whenever he went fishing, a friendly competition was in order - first fish, most fish and largest fish. Willie was a socializer and enjoyed any activities where he got a chance to visit with others. Over the years, he enjoyed going to farm meetings where he would learn new things and also liked to keep an eye on the stock market.

Willie and Dianne traveled to the United States, Mexico, Jamaica, Australia, Thailand and lastly Cuba. They were also fortunate to be able to spend several winters in Arizona and Osoyoos, BC. His love for his family - children, grandchildren and great grandchildren - was beyond measure. He enjoyed teaching his grandchildren new things, especially how to drive on the farm and always had jujubes on hand to share with them. His friendly personality will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Willie will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 59 years, DIANNE Engele (nee Schlachter) of Humboldt; their four children, seven grandchildren and nine great grandchildren: Aaron (Patricia) Engele of Humboldt and family Amanda (Riley) Brockman and children Kyra, Aiden and Kolten of Middle Lake, Janelle (Kyle) Stumborg and children Kashton, Aaliyah, and Daxzen of Humboldt, Taylor Engele (friend, Angele) of Humboldt and Craig (Karen) Watters of Saskatoon; Sheila Engele of Regina; Kevin (Kim) Engele and son Austin Engele, all of Maple Ridge, BC and Wesley Engele of Cornwall, ON and family Ariel Engele and children Madison and Carter of Regina and Desiree Engele and daughter Emerald of Saskatoon; sister Marie Kramer of Calgary and numerous niece and nephews. Wilfred was predeceased by his parents Julius and Mary Engele; siblings: Frances (Hans) Apoloney; Ann Turnbull; Johanna (Tony) Niebrugge, Leo (Helen) Engele, Theodore (Elsa) Engele, Adolph (Anne) Engele, Alvin Engele, Louis Engele and Robert Engele; and brother-in-law John Kramer. The Funeral Mass for Wilfred was held on Friday, January 18, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church, Humboldt, celebrated by Fr. Joseph Salihu. His remains were laid to rest in the Columbarium at St. Augustine Parish Cemetery. Memorial Donations in Wilfred’s memory may be made to the Humboldt District Hospital Foundation, General Equipment Fund or the St. Mary’s Villa Foundation. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Malinoski & Danyluik Funeral Home, Humboldt (306-682-1622).

YOUTH CURLING CAMP

Full circle: Kirk Muyres teaches youth curling at his home rink Devan C. Tasa Editor When curling champion Kirk Muyres was young, successful curlers would come to the Muenster Curling Club and give him lessons. Now he’s returning the favour.

Muyres, who was raised in nearby St. Gregor, said when he looks back, those lessons were a lot of fun.

“That was really cool to see that those people that were 20, 30 years old, very successful in curling, that they were taking time to teach us. That’s what really gave me a passion for the game, so I knew that something I wanted to do as well.”

Muyres was in Muenster Jan. 19, teaching a youth curling camp hosted by Farm World.

Curling was something that Muyres’ entire family did. His father Lyle won the 1986 Saskatchewan men’s champion while his brother Dallan has served as Muyres’ lead.

“I remember Saturday mornings, we’d go to the curling rink and, and almost every day after school

would come to the curling rink and play,” Muyres said. “It was really about just being at the rink growing up.”

For Muyres, the best memories he has of the Muenster Curling Club was planning in the Muenster High Super League after school from Grade 7 to 12.

“It didn’t matter what your level of curling was, everyone came out,” he said.

“It was just a boatload of fun. You got to play with your best friends. You got to play with people that were older, younger, and everyone just enjoyed curling. That’s one of the moments I really, really remember from growing up.”

Muyres said teaching his sport to the next generation is important because they are starting to make lifestyle choices now that will carry into their thirties and forties.

“At the very least, I always want to make sure I try to instill them with a little bit of confidence and belief in themselves because not all of them are going to curl in the future

but all of them could use a little confidence and belief and what they want to do in their life.”

The key for Muyres, as he taught the approximately 40 participants to curl a rock through a narrow space and slide while holding a ball in a spoon, is to see the children have fun.

“Some of the kids I taught this morning I went to school with their parents and now they have kids that I’m teaching. It seems hard to believe,” he said.

“It’s really neat to be back home and see everyone again and and spend some time in one of the really neatest curling clubs in the province for sure.”

Muyres said it was cool that all of the proceeds raised from the participant fees would go straight to the Muenster Curling Club.

The curler was also happy to be able to make a visit home.

“I don’t get back a lot in the winter,” he said.

“We spend about 100 days curling out there, so there isn’t much time to get back and see family and see this club.”

Kirk Muyres poses with the afternoon class he taught at the youth curling camp in Muenster.
