THE ELIZABETH

New retirement home opens in Humboldt

Devan C. Tasa Editor A new retirement home converted from a historic convent will allow its lowincome residents to stay in place as their needs grow.

The Elizabeth, which had a budget of around $4.5 million, has 28 independent-living apartments, 11 assisted-living units and one respite

suite.

“We did it. We did it.

We did it,” said Agnes Pratchler, chair of St. Elizabeth Place Inc. “The grand opening of the Elizabeth has come to fruition.”

Everything except the assisted-living units are filled. The retirement community is applying to have its assisted-living

units licensed so its occupants could qualify for subsidies.

“It was a grassroots project,” Rob Muench, Humboldt’s mayor, said after the Nov. 16 ribbon cutting. “People saw this building. People knew it had to be converted to something that they community can use. It was a wonderful asset put

in place by the sisters a number of years ago and it’s now come to fruition.”

It’s been an effort that’s been underway since 2012.

The federal and provincial governments contributed more than $1 million into the project, while the City of Humboldt contributed $50,000 plus a 30 per cent municipal tax reduc-

tion for five years.

The project was undertaken by Stewart Properties. Tyler Stewart, the company’s president, said he was given a tour of a building that was empty for a while and could have been demolished for houses. When doing his due diligence into the project, he saw the need for lower-income

seniors to have an affordable place to live.

“It was the right thing to do for Humboldt, it was needed in Humboldt and that why we chose to take it on,” he said.

The project saw many challenges. First, they had to find a financial institution that would be willing to finance the project. After that, the lowest bid for a general contractor was too much, so they decided to take it on themselves, using local labour.

“There was something within the core group of people involved of not giving up, that this will come to fruition if we just don’t give up, that kept pushing it, that made it what it is,” Stewart said.

Keeping the historic aspect of the building was also a challenge, as market research showed that seniors want to live in modern homes.

“I think they did a remarkable job,” Muench said. “Just the look of it from outside, they’ve transformed it into a modern facility but kept enough of the old style that it’s still a tribute to the sisters that built the original facility.”

For Pratchler, it’s not so much about the building as it was about the seniors themselves.

“It was simply a plan to improve the quality of life for some of the seniors that may need a little bit of help to be looked after.”

NEWS HUMBOLDT-LANIGAN RCMP

ATV, trailer stolen from LeRoy property

Devan C. Tasa Editor An ATV, trailer and several tools were stolen from a rural property near LeRoy. The break-in occurred between Nov. 9 and 10.

A photo from a security camera took a photo of the suspect’s vehicle, which is described as a newer model, dark coloured extended cab pick-up truck.

Those with any information are asked to contact the Humboldt-Lanigan RCMP.

saying they were also affected.

Police believe the break and enters are connected.

“Those are still actively being investigated and we’re still looking for information,” Applegate said.

The suspects made off with a Brown 2013 Ford Explorer from one of the businesses.

ACTIVITY

GAS AND DASH Humboldt-Lanigan RCMP are looking for the public’s help after a gas and dash incident in Lanigan.

On the morning of Oct. 1, a grey 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 fuelled up with diesel at a service station on Highway 16 and then left, making no attempt to pay. A female passenger from the truck entered the store before the truck had left.

Further investigation determined the truck was stolen out of Saskatoon a few days before.

CHARGES LAID A charge has been laid in connection to a stolen tractor stolen from an Avonlea implement dealer

A newer model, dark coloured extended cab pick-up truck was involved in a break-in on a LeRoy-area property that saw an ATV and trailer stolen.

Submitted photo by Humboldt RCMP found between Annaheim and Spalding.

A s a re s u l t o f t h e Humboldt-Lanigan RCMP’s investigation into the matter, a 57-year-old man from the RM of St. Peter has been charged with one count of posses-

sion of stolen property over $5,000. The tractor is estimated to be worth around $145,000.

The man’s first court appearance will be in H u m b o l d t P ro v i n c i a l Court Dec. 3.

“The tractor was recov-

ered and there was a happy ending to that one,” said Cst. Geoff Applegate of the Humboldt-Lanigan RCMP.

BREAK & ENTERS A string of break-ins aimed at Watson business-

es was more extensive than first thought.

Several businesses in Watson located along Highway 6 were broken into in the early morning hours of Oct. 21. After the initial reports, more business owners came forward,

It was a busy couple of weeks for the HumboldtLanigan RCMP as they dealt with 232 calls between Nov. 1 and 15, most of them as a result of a traffic stop on Highway 16 near Lanigan.

Police dealt with 130 traffic violations, gave out 44 written warnings and dealt with 20 violations at checkstops.

RCMP also dealt with three impaired driving cases. One of those cases came from a driver of an offroad vehicle. As that person caused injury to their passenger, they are being charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm.

There were only eight calls connected to the Criminal Code, including two cases of break and enter, two cases of fraud and one assault.

WADENA TOWN HALL

Council looking at downtown curb extensions Devan C. Tasa Editor As the highways ministry is preparing to repave the highways in Wadena, the town’s council is looking at its own improvement.

“We’ve had a lot of requests of our residents and ratepayers to increase pedestrian safety and reduce people going through that area at high speeds, so council is look-

ing at adding curb extensions,” said Ferne Hebig, the town’s administrator.

The extensions, which were discussed at the Nov. 5 meeting, would bump out the sidewalks at intersections along Highway 35, which serves as Wadena’s main street.

The bump outs would provide a visual cue for motorists to slow down.

The town would be on the hook for the cost of

curb extensions, while the province is on the hook for repaving. The hope would be to time both projects in a manner that costs are minimized.

“That would be best at springtime as we get the highway done, whether it’s right before or right after,” Hebig said.

The town still has to determine what the cost of the extensions would be.

INFRASTRUCTURE CONDITION The town will soon know what condition everything it owns is in, from sewer lines to major facilities.

Hebig said the infrastructure condition assessment being done by Associated Engineering is an important tool when to comes to long-term planning for the Town of

Wadena.

“It’s very difficult to plan to replace a facility when we don’t know what condition it’s currently, how long we might have to replace that and what the costs are going to be down the road to replace it.”

The assessment would be used for creating an asset management plan.

The federal government is requiring all municipali-

ties to have such a plan if they want to receive any funding from the gas tax program.

The major item left to do on the assessment is to run a camera through sewer lines to determine their condition, something that’s important to complete before any roads are repaved.

The assessment is expected to be complete in mid-December.

Wakaw part of whooping cough cluster

Devan C. Tasa Editor Wakaw is part of a cluster of communities near Saskatoon where whooping cough has been detected.

There have been 25 cases of whooping cough, or pertussis, all centred around Rosthern.

“Some of these communities have a relatively low immunization coverage when it comes for

whooping cough vaccine,” said Dr. Simon Kapaj, a medical health officer with the Saskatoon Health Authority. “Half of these cases that have been confirmed are young children less than five years of age. Of them, one child is less than two months old.”

All of the cases were confirmed by the provincial lab. The families and social circles of those

infected by been notified by the health authority.

Whooping cough, a highly contagious in fection of the lungs and throat, is caused by bordetella pertussis bacteria. It spreads through droplets produced by the coughing. Young children who have not been immunized get sicker than older children and adults.

The disease starts like a common cold with symp-

toms such as sneezing, runny nose, mild fever and a mild cough. In the next week or two, the cough becomes worse, leading to severe coughing spells that often end with a whooping sound before the next breath, especially in young children. Older people may not make the whooping sound.

In total, whooping cough lasts for approxi-

mately 12 weeks.

The disease is treated by antibiotics. Doing that during the early stages of the disease reduces its spread.

There are vaccines that stop the spread of the disease that can be taken by infants and adults. It’s highly recommended that pregnant women take a vaccine to pass on antibodies to their child that will help protect them for

the first two months of their life.

Kapaj said when more people are immunized, the population at large is safer from the disease.

“It becomes a problem, it becomes a fire, when people that surround that individual, they get sick because they are not protected and then the domino effect starts because one individual can transmit to the others.”

Large scale farms not a new thing

“

“

Recently I visited with Bruce Frederickson of Theodore to talk about a project of his to recreate the grand home of Richard Seeman, one of the earliest settlers in the district.

Seeman was a major influence in the region.

It was 1893 and the Manitoba and North Western Railway was is desperate need of cash when Seeman arrived in the scene with a ready supply of it that allowed him to buy title to 80,000 acres (125 sections) of railway land for $80,000. That was a huge investment for the time period. The proceeds from the land sale enabled the railway to continue operations for several years, and Seeman acquired land along the M&NWR line between Winnipeg and Yorkton.

We tend to think of large scale farming as a relatively new trend, but... from the earliest days of the Prairies some have sought to grow their operations to scales beyond the average.

Calvin Daniels He would re-sell most of the land but on a portion near what would become Theodore he started a sizeable farm of his own.

“The first report of Seeman’s crop-growing successes occurred near the end of the first year the Seeman farm was in operation and stated that, from two relatively small stacks of sheaves, the Seeman farm had realized 1,200 bushels of grain. Another report from the follow-

ing year stated that “Mr. Seeman expects a total yield of wheat, oats and barley of 40,000 bushels.”

Seeman’s expectations were fulfilled. Oats yielded 106 bushels per acre that year. Because there was insufficient granary space on the farm to accommodate the threshed grain, the sheaves were left in a stack and threshed as needed during the winter,” wrote Neil Gregory, Saskatchewan History magazine.

As Frederickson recounted some of the history of the Seeman farm, the background that inspired him to re-create the scale model of the family home, it made me think about the scale of some of the earliest Prairie farmers.

We tend to have a few of the Prairies being divvied-up to immigrants in near 160-acre homestead parcels. That was certainly how my own grandparents started their lives in Canada after im-

migrating from England at what is now the Czech Republic depending on which root of my family tree you follow.

But there were also what can only be described as mega-farms, at least in relation to the era.

Perhaps the most famous is the Bell farm at Indian Head, marked today by the reconstructed round barn and the historic site it is part of.

“Construction of the Bell Farm started in 1882, under the direction of A. J. Osment. Within a year over 100 buildings were constructed on this corporate farm, which included about 53,000 acres (or 332 quarter sections),” notes bellbarn.ca While a couple o f d e c a d e s l a t e r, t h e Motherwell homestead, itself a national historic

site is another peek into the scale of farming in this region’s earliest days.

We tend to think of large scale farming as a relatively new trend, but as in most things it is a matter of perspective, and from the earliest days of the Prairies some have sought to grow their operations to scales beyond the average. It just seems a part of our heritage that has been lost to time.

Chances are good that you’re $19.95 wealthier today because you didn’t plunk down that amount to watch the Tiger-vs.-Phil pay-per-view golf extravaganza – “The Match” – on the Friday of the US Thanksgiving weekend.

Call it what you want, but in my book it was the Friday Folly.

This is being written a few days before the 18hole event in Las Vegas with $9 million scheduled to go to the winner, but it would be a surprise if the pay-per-view telecast generated $9 million in revenues.

This has to go down as the ultimate ‘Who Cares?’ event.

Tiger Woods is the biggest draw in golf, and his presence on the PGA Tour undoubtedly hikes ratings; viewing numbers skyrocket when he’s in contention.

Phil Mickelson has been a big name in the game for the past 25 years, but the narrative of this event shouldn’t have been a battle between two titans but a blast from the past –

fan) – yet the pay-per-view event features two guys in their 40s. Woods is still relevant – in fact, his comeback situation is one of the sport’s most intriguing stories – but Mickelson’s best days were about five years ago. As Rory McIlroy said, if this was 15 years ago, this head-to-head battle might be interesting, but excitement? Drama?

Intrigue? No, no and no.

I can think of nine million reasons not to care.

Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “In the Panther’s 52-21 loss to the Steelers, Carolina’s Kyle Love fell asleep on the sideline. Love will be fined $5,000 and charged with impersonating a Cleveland Brown.”

Steve Burgess on

Twitter: “I’m hearing the Calgary Olympic bid was doomed by the unpopular plan for a vape torch.”

Norman Chad on Twitter: “Real reason (Chiefs vs. Rams) game was moved out of Mexico City? POTUS feared The Caravan might hop a ride into U.S. on team charter flights.”

Chad again: “(Raiders moving to Las Vegas) is also the best fit imaginable, unless Mark Davis moves the team to a stadium-on-wheels that travels from town to town like a Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus troupe.”

Comedy writer Jim Barach: “Earlham College in Indiana has suspended its football season after 53

straight losses. To which the Cleveland Browns are saying ‘Cowards!’”

RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Winnipeg Blue Bombers coach Mike O’Shea called RB Andrew Harris’s work this season a ‘masterpiece.’ If Montreal QB Johnny Manziel’s work was art, it’d be taped to a refrigerator.”

Mike Hart of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on the 1-8 Raiders visiting the 2-7 Cardinals: “Scalpers in Glendale, Ariz., will have to get a second job this week.”

H e a d l i n e a t Sportspickle.com: “The one likeable thing about Draymond Green is that he hates Kevin Durant.”

Los Angeles Dodgers t h i rd b a s e m a n J u s t i n Turner on the 18-inning Game 3 of the World Series: “I think my beard got about three inches longer.”

Journalism needs public support The business aspect of journalism is seriously under threat.

The model of the traditional newspaper, radio and TV station is broken.

Advertisers are going elsewhere – mostly online.

The way we consume news has changed rapidly.

I grew up on a farm just west of Winnipeg, and we got a grand total of three TV channels. Watching the news was a family affair. We all gathered in front of the TV to find out what happened in the world. And if you missed the news, you missed it.

You’d have to wait until tomorrow to read it in the paper.

Contrast that with my son, who is 13. Much as I would love to say he’s my biggest fan, he doesn’t really watch the news.

He’s on Instagram and Snapchat, and spends more time on YouTube or Netflix than watching broadcast television.

In one generation, how we connect to the world and how we consume news has been utterly transformed.

Now, you can say, “Hey, that’s business. You adapt, or you die.” And journalism is adapting.

But here’s the thing about journalism. It’s more than a business. It’s a pillar of democracy.

Journalism underpins every free society. It informs, it uncovers truth and it holds power to account. Without knowledge about what’s happening in your town, your province, you country, you can’t be an informed citizen. And if you aren’t an informed citizen, you can’t make informed decisions about the kind of community you want to live in, and the kind of political leaders you choose to represent you.

Right now, journalism is under assault not just because the business model is

Dawna Friesen broken, but because there are political forces actively working to undermine it and discredit it.

An army of online trolls and activists question the veracity of stories they don’t like, attack individual journalists they don’t like, and ridicule institutions that for decades have been trusted sources of news.

State-supported trolls from places like Russia and Saudi Arabia seed our news feeds with false stories and conspiracy theories, and actively work to undermine western liberal democracies.

I never imagined an American president – the leader of the free world – would call the media the “enemy of the people.”

He’s said it so many times, we don’t even blink anymore.

It’s having the insidious effect of eroding trust in all the news media. We have reached the point that people don’t know who or what to trust.

I think we are living in a dangerous time. We’re not Americans, but we’re not immune to the rancour and the division and the political dysfunction that we’re watching unfold.

So here’s my message to you: be an active part of the solution.

Don’t be drawn into partisan ugliness that paints political opponents as traitors and the enemy.

Support quality journalism. Think of it as a public service.

Journalists used to be

OPEN HOUSE Saturday, Nov. 24th 10 - 2 p.m.

seen as the public watchdog. Don’t fall for the line that we are the enemy of the people. That’s the talk of a dictator, who wants to silence those who question him.

Quality journalism increases public knowledge, political participation and engagement. It helps reduce corruption, expose the nefarious. Just look at the power of the MeToo movements, which was driven by strong women who came forward, and journalists who told their stories.

And here’s my most important point: don’t expect to get quality journalism for free. It’s not a giveaway.

You need to pay for it.

The big failing of the internet – which gave us access to the world – is that we expect to get it for free.

Unless news organizations are owned by a billionaire like Jeff Bezos, that’s not sustainable.

So pay for news, subscribe online. Demand quality. Consider the source of what you are reading and watching.

Don’t get sucked in by clickbait. It just panders to sites that thrive on viral video.

The vast majority of journalists are driven by the desire to inform the public, to get the facts and to bear witness to events – sometimes risking our lives to do it.

So please, support quality journalism, because quality journalism underpins a healthy democracy.

Dawna Friesen, who is from Manitoba, was previously a foreign correspondent for NBC News, and is currently the chief television anchor and executive editor of Global National, working out of Vancouver. She recently spoke on the importance of journalism during an address at the Manitoba Business Awards banquet, put on by the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce.

Jessica R. Durling Trader Writer An amendment to The Police Act, 1990 has been introduced in Saskatchewan.

This amendment will allow rural municipalities, and other municipalities with populations under 500 to join regional police services.

While the current unamended Act allows for the establishment of regional police services, rural municipalities are not permitted to take part in regional policing arrangements, except in limited circumstances.

“Adding rural municipalities to the regional policing provisions will provide an opportunity to explore new policing models in the province that focus specifically on the safety of rural citizens,” wrote Drew Wilby, spokesperson for the corrections and policing department.

Christine Tell, minister of corrections and policing, described it as “another option to policing”. “ We h a d a c i t y i n Saskatchewan sort of approach us and say ‘listen we would like to maybe look at this, not definitively, look at it. But we can’t do it because the surrounding rural municipalities are under 500,’” Tell said.

“People want to see their police, they don’t have to see them every minute of the day but they do want to see the odd patrols going by their particular farmyard or home and I think that’s some of the complaints, some of the concerns brought to government.”

Rural municipalities will be sublimated for this program by the provincial government for 70 per cent and the federal government sublimates it for 30 per cent.

Tell said that this is the final addition to rural policing in the near future, unless something changes.

“As it stands today we got the Provincial Response Team, we have the Community Traffic Safety Units, we have a number of the ones who look after drugs and do those stops,” Tell said.

“Right now we’re kind of maximizing our police component within the province of Saskatchewan.

That’s not to say, things change, times change.

Some things could be issues tomorrow that might not be issues today.”

ANNAHEIM RECREATION BOARD

Play a comedic take on the sexual revolution

Devan C. Tasa Editor In the late 1960s, a timid middle-aged married man seeks to join the sexual revolution before it’s too late by attempting to seduce three women.

That’s the premise behind Last of the Red Hot Lovers, a comedic play being performed at the A n n a h e i m R e c re a t i o n Board’s dinner theatre.

Michael Neuert, the play’s director, said he’s always enjoyed plays written by Neil Simon.

“We selected it for the season opener, No. 1, because he’s such a strong writer and he writes such good shows, but also there’s not a lot of good strong roles in theatre for talented female actors. This one has three in it,” the director, who’s

“

Your Family Fun Center

I think it’s going to be a wonderful evening of entertainment... The play is going to be great.

– Director Michael Neuert

from the Mini Fridge Theatre Company out of Saskatoon, said. “Each act has a different female actor in it and each one is a strong written character.”

The play, written in the 1960s, is heavily steeped in the culture of the era and Neuert believes there’s no point in trying to adapt it for the 2010s.

“I don’t think it would play well updating it. It was written in ’68 and probably best just to leave it like that.”

For Neuert, it was finding the right actors for the four-person play

that posed the largest challenge. He said when he reads a play and figure out what the character’s like, he envisions the kind of person that’s going to play it.

“That was probably the most difficult and it really wasn’t that hard to find people,” he said, remarking earlier there’s a lot of talent in Saskatoon to choose from. “It really wasn’t that challenging for me. I’ve surrounded myself with some of the best actors I could find and let them go.”

He said the four actors

recruited for the roles, which include one male lead and three women, fit into what we was looking at.

Neuert said he thinks the people attending the play will enjoy three hilarious situations the lead gets into as he tries – and fails – his hand at seduction.

“I think it’s going to be a wonderful evening of entertainment. I’ve been out to Annaheim before and the food out there is fantastic,” he said. “The play is going to be great.”

T h e d i n n e r t h e a t re will be held Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 at the Annaheim Community Hall.

Cocktails begin at 6 pm and the dinner at 7 pm.

Tickets can be brought from Gerard at 306-2603963.

HCI DRAMA CLUB

Kidnapping of English teacher focus of play Devan C. Tasa Editor The Humboldt Collegiate Institute Drama Club has been waiting since the end of the last school year to perform their latest play.

The Ransom of Miss Elverna Dower is about two students who kidnap their English teacher in an effort to avoid writing a test. They do the deed, but nobody wants to pay the ransom – and the teacher forces them work

on an assignment about famous kidnappings.

Originally, the comedy was going to be performed towards the end of the school year, but the events of April 6 made the club decide to put it on hold.

“We just decided that we started this play last year, we’re going to finish this year,” said Jamie White, the director. “It’s a funny play, it’s a comedy.

When we picked it last year, it was an upbeat,

good, funny play that people would enjoy.”

Because there was a delay, there was an extra challenge to overcome “We had to recast a few parts because some of the people that were in it last year graduated,” White said.

Also a challenge was getting the cast and crew of 30 students together to practice for the play.

The sets are made by the visual arts students and the concession is

staffed by the band and choir.

“People should come because it is fun, it will make you laugh, it’s great to see the talent of our students in and around Humboldt and it’s just a light-hearted, fun-filled evening for some enjoyment,” White said.

There is one showing left of The Ransom of Miss Elverna Dower. It’s on Nov. 23 at 7 pm at the Humboldt Collegiate Institute common area.

BLOWOUT

Rose Valley girls’ volleyball wins provincial gold Devan C. Tasa Editor For the third year in a row, the Rose Valley Roadrunners are the provincial 1A girls’ volleyball champions.

At a tournament hosted by Maple Creek and Fox Valley Nov. 17 and 18, Rose Valley defeated Englefeld in the final to claim the top prize.

“It was a pretty amazing experience,” said Matt Yobb, the head coach. “For me, it was my first year coaching this group as it sits but I’ve been involved for the last few years as a parent and as coach for some of the girls on their club teams.”

Yo b b , a l o n g w i t h his coaching partner Ivy Rachkewich, have coached Rose Valley Sask Volleyball club teams for years, but it was their first time coaching high school volleyball.

“Walking in as head coach at the high school level was not a huge change because it’s the same sport and the same skills and I knew all of the kids,” he said, adding what was a change was being head coach this year instead of Rachkewich.

Yobb said his team has been successful for years because the community has given them lot of opportunities to play the

game and a lot of instruction on developing their skills. He said both present and past players have played competitive volleyball since Grade 6.

“They play volleyball eight months a year, practising two nights a week, going to tournaments a lot of weekends and just playing a lot, being coached a lot and just coming with energy, over and over again,” he said. “It’s just amazing dedication more than anything else.”

Yobb said the community’s support has been unbelievable.

“When we got home, the school sign had been already changed to read

provincial champions and it was all lit up so the girls could see when they got home. We had an enormous amount of support from the community and that meant just so much to all of these girls – and to me as well,” he said.

“It meant something to the entire community and the entire community was really, really supportive of this group.”

The coach said his team will soon be back playing volleyball.

“They have a few weeks off here after their school season and then we start our club team with the Sask Volleyball Association.”

AGRICULTURE CROP DISEASES

Clubroot a greater problem than expected Jessica R. Durling Trader Writer

SaskCanola has discovered 37 canola fields in Saskatchewan were infected with clubroot.

“We’re finding it more and more,” said Kim Stonehouse, crops extension specialist with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture in Tisdale.

“It has always been an issue, the thing is since we weren’t finding a lot of it, we kind of got complacent.

“Now that we’re discovering more fields that are positive for clubroot spores and clubroot symptoms, definitely it’s on producers’ minds more than it has been.”

The finding was part of an extensive clubroot survey conducted this year that involved 1,800 fields.

Symptoms of clubroot include infected roots with galls – swollen root tissues – that will initially appear white and fleshy.

Later in the season they will start to decompose

With 37 fields with clubroot detected, the crop disease is more widespread than first thought.

and appear rotten.

Above-ground symptoms include stunting, yellowing and premature ripening. While these symptoms may indicate the presence of a clubroot patch, it could also be associated with other diseases or adverse environmental conditions. Due to this, producers should examine the roots for galls.

“It causes galls to form on the roots which starves the plant of nu-

trients, and so by doing that it basically causes premature ripening and a significant yield loss,” Stonehouse said.

The first step, Stonehouse said, is to watch over your canola fields carefully.

“I think the number one thing is be proactive as possible to scout your fields for it, anywhere you see patches of canola that is ripening prematurely to pull up the plants and see

if there are galls on the roots or at least diagnose to see that the issue is in that area,” Stonehouse said. “Then if it is, to report that to the ministry of agriculture or the RM that you’re in.”

If you do have clubroot there are methods you can take to stop the spread.

“Clubroot is a soil borne disease so that means it is transported on any soil, what they call tag, on your equipment or tractors or wheels or any of that sort of thing.

If you move from one field to another you can actually transport the spores for clubroot and cause a clubroot infestation in another field.

So sanitation is probably a key to preventing that from moving. Even if you don’t think you have clubroot, it’s still a good idea to go out and remove the soil off equipment before you move it to another field and it’s a good idea that anything else that is com-

ing to your field has been washed thoroughly.”

Farm equipment can be disinfected with a bleach solution.

Crops infected with clubroot will still be useable, but will produce lower yields.

“It doesn’t cause a problem with the seed at all,” Stonehouse said.

“It basically just shuts down the plant so the yield from it is limited and significantly limited. So that basically the plant slows down and doesn’t make as much seed, but the seed that is in it has not changed from what it would have been had clubroot not been there.”

For more than 80 years, Wahlenberg’s Arch has brightened the winter night sky Eric WEsthavEr Reporter

One of Flin Flon’s most prominent Christmas traditions is back and bright.

Wahlenberg’s Arch has been lit up again for the holiday season.

To fully know the story behind the arch, one needs to know the story behind its namesake, an immigrant mineworker named Art Wahlenberg.

Originally from Norway, Wahlenberg and his brother came to Flin Flon to find work. Not long after the two arrived, they found positions with Hudson Bay Mining & Smelting (now Hudbay) and settled in the community.

Before moving, Wahlenberg was an acclaimed athlete, excelling at several sports, including boxing.

“He was twice the heavyweight amateur boxing champion of Norway before he left there,” said local historian Gerry Clark. “In the early days, when you look at the papers, there was a routine boxing card put on, among all the other things people put on to entertain themselves.

Art and his brother boxed.”

After working in several positions with HBM&S,

Wahlenberg found a steady job as a stablehand with the company’s horse teams, stored at the current site of Centoba Park. After retiring from the stables, Wahlenberg worked as an uncertified veterinarian, serving Flin Flon and the surrounding area.

“When he retired from the company, he carried on doing what he did all along, looking after people’s cats and dogs,” said Clark. “He worked with the horses, took some courses, read the books and practised medicine.”

When Wahlenberg retired, he was reminded of a holiday tradition from his homeland, a Christmastime talisman from decades before.

“Art apparently had a fond memory from back home in Norway. They had this archway that had lights on it and they flashed on and off in geometric patterns,” said Clark. “He decided that, out in front of his house on the corner, he would erect one of those archways.”

In 1932, Wahlenberg built the arch himself at his own expense in his front yard, on Bellevue Avenue near the corner to Hammell Street. The arch can be easily seen across the east side of Flin Flon, right on the hilltop

over Ross Lake.

The arch shines in many different shapes and colours, including a yellow star and green pine trees. The pentagonal frame of the arch is strung with lights and is also visible from great distances.

After several years, Wahlenberg stopped lighting up the arch due to either failing health or feeling discouraged. When locals noticed the arch wasn’t lit up, the Flin Flon Fire Department stepped in to maintain the arch and turn it on every winter.

“They decided that it was something people had enjoyed for several years, so they took it over,” said Clark.

“Before he [Wahlenberg] died, he saw his archway back in business.”

The present archway has been up for more than 20 years. It’s still lit up almost every December night before Christmas.

“It’s truly a part of most people’s childhood memories of growing up in Flin Flon, seeing that arch,” said Clark.

“Most people who see it don’t even realize what it is. They think it’s somebody’s house up on the hill, they see it among the many others that are lit up.”

PETERSEN: Elgar Jan. 26, 1936 - Nov. 3, 2018 Elgar passed away peacefully at the Humboldt District Hospital on Saturday November 3, 2018, surrounded by loved ones. He was 82 years of age.

Elgar was born in Humboldt, SK, on January 26, 1936, to Hans and Mary (nee Kimmen) Petersen; he was the sixth child in a family of nine, five sisters and three brothers. He grew up on a farm near Annaheim Saskatchewan. Elgar moved to Humboldt in 1962 with his parent. He was a dedicated sports enthusiast who also loved children and had a passion for helping them. He started volunteering shortly after he moved to Humboldt. In the summer he spent his time volunteering at the ball diamonds and in the winter, it was hockey, hockey, and more hockey. Elgar was known to take care of any kids at the arena. He would line them up, tie their skates, straighten their equipment and get them ready for the ice. He’d then wipe the snow off their blades when they were done. Pep talks were given to any team that he felt needed them, home or opposing teams included. In 1970, when the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League’s Humboldt Broncos team was founded, he became the team trainer and equipment manager. He spent many hours (10-14 hours per day) volunteering for “his boys” (aka The Broncos). He would fill water bottles, get extra hockey sticks, and do laundry for the team. He never said “no” or complained when helping out. He was well known for his bear hugs which earned him the nick name “The Bear”. Elgar also loved to give “whisker rubs” and every kid and sometimes adults experienced one as well, leaving red cheeks and lots of laughter all around. On September 15, 2000, at a Humboldt Broncos home opener game, fans marked the occasion by renaming the Uniplex Arena to The Elgar Petersen Arena. He was extremely proud to be honoured in this way; but he really just wanted the ceremony to be over and the puck to drop so the game could begin. Elgar was inducted into the Humboldt Hall of Fame in 1998 and the Saskatchewan Hall of Fame in the Grassroots Category in 2015. He was very proud to be a part of this esteemed group of people. After more than forty years of community service, his health started to fail, and he was unable to volunteer at the arena. Elgar moved from Humboldt to the Cudworth Care Home, where he continued to volunteer in any way he could. Elgar will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his sisters: Margaret Petersen, Evelyn Tarnowski, Helen (Bob) Williams, and Marie (George) Lumley; his sisters-in-law Jean Petersen and Jeanette Petersen; numerous nieces and nephews and many friends. Elgar was predeceased by his parents, Hans and Mary (nee Kimmen) Petersen; three brothers Walter Petersen, Peter (Margaret) Petersen and Joseph Petersen; one sister Martha (John) Eggerman; brother-in-law, Frank Tarnowski; nephews Barry Eggerman and Lorne Eggerman; and niece Shirley Petersen. A Public Visitation was held on Friday, November 9, 2018 at Schuler-Lefebvre Funeral Chapel, Humboldt, SK, from 3:00 to 8:00 p.m. The Funeral Mass was offered on Saturday, November 10, 2018, at 11:00 a.m., celebrated by Fr. Joseph Salihu and concelebrated by Abbott Peter Novecosky, OSB. Others taking part were: Eugene Eggerman, crossbearer; Patricia Towne and Judy Eggerman, scripture readers; Mary Lou Eastman, intentions; Cheryl Elder and Denyse Tarnowski, giftbearers; Jeannette Renneberg and Brenda Eggerman, memorial table attendants; Loretta Schugmann as director with organist Denise Germain and members of St. Augustine Parish Funeral Choir, music ministry. The eulogy was delivered by Cody Schlosser. Honorary Pallbearers were “all those who shared in Elgar’s life.” An Honor Guard was formed by members of the Humboldt Bronco Team Organization, Board and Alumni. Active Pallbearers were: Alan Tarnowski, Daryl Williams, Kevin Petersen, Brian Tarnowski, David Williams and Doug Lumley. Interment followed at St. Augustine R.C. Cemetery, Humboldt, SK. Memorial Donations may be directed to the St. Augustine Parish Centre or Humboldt District Hospital Foundation General Equipment Fund.

ZIMMERMAN: ODILE (nee Creurer) Nov. 21, 1924 - Sept. 21, 2018 Odile passed away peacefully at Villa Pascal, North Battleford.

Odile was born on November 21, 1924 on the family farm near St. Brieux, SK. After graduating from high school Odile moved to Saskatoon.

She graduated with a Teacher’s Certificate from Normal School (Teacher’s College).

Odile taught for three years before marrying Herman Zimmerman of St. Gregor, SK. Odile and Herman were married on August 5, 1946. The lived in the town of St. Gregor, on the Zimmerman farm, and Tisdale before settling in North Battleford in 1961 with 12 children. Odile thought she was a queen, it was the first time they had indoor plumbing. Three more children were born in North Battleford. Herman passed away in 1981. Odile remained in their home until 1988. She moved to an apartment at Manoir Marchildon in North Battleford. Odile moved to Villa Pascal nursing home in 2001. She remained at the Villa until her passing. Odile was predeceased by her parents, her siblings, her husband, her sons Dennis in 2018 and Larry in 2014, her daughter Linda Arnett in 1993, and her daughter-in-law Dianna Zimmerman in 2017. Odile lived happily in North Battleford raising 15 children. She enjoyed her time with 25 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren and three great great grandchildren. Odile was a life-time member of the Notre Dame CWL. She enjoyed playing card games with her family and friends, movies and reading. She was amazing at sewing, knitting and crochet. Odile is remembered by many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Odile leaves to cherish her memory: DENNIS + (Diana Wood), LARRY + (Dianna +), his family Shannon and her sons Joshua and Jacob; Jason (Marcella) and their daughters Sofia and Mila Odile; Tristan; LINDA ARNETT + (Jon) and their daughters Jennie, her daughters Jessica (Gage) and their daughter Xyla; Kayla; Taylor (Mack) and their children Wren and Oliver; Tara (George); Roxanne (Shane) and their children Jude, Tobin, Delia and Isaac; JOYCE (Graydon); BOB (Donna): JOAN WAPPEL (Wayne) and their sons Evan (Leda); Dylan (Nicole); ALLAN (Janice) and their children Janelle; Levi; MAURICE; MARIE SITTER (Raymond) and their children Laura; Matthew; Thomas (Laura); BRIAN (Lorna) and their daughters Sheena (Eric); Marissa; JAMES (Laura) and their children Josh (Allie); Michelle and her children Deneige and Caleb; Adrien; ANN REED (Richard) and their sons Michael (Deneen) and their children Steen and Ellara; Denny; ROGER and his sons Ashten; Aaron; RENEE FROLEK (Andrew) and their children Adam (Kristi) and their children Marin and Nolan; Megan and her sons Grayson and Owen; Jody (Chad) and their son Jackson; and DAN. Odile was the last surviving member of a generation of the Marie and Denis Creurer and Mary and Adolf Zimmerman families.

The following is an excerpt from her brother Adrian’s diary: I discovered what my little sister Odile inherited from Mother and Dad. From Dad, that admirable quiet strength that enabled her to bear the burdens of adversity with dignity. From Mother, that incredible faith in God and her complete dedication to her purpose in life, which is serving God - unshakeable belief in Jesus Christ. Fulfilling her role as wife and mother with love and perseverance and guidance for each of her 15 children. Jesus said, ‘give and it shall be given back abundantly.’ She is no doubt reaping her rewards from the love she is receiving from her family.

Thank you to the Staff of Villa Pascal, the Notre Dame CWL, and to all of you for your kind words, prayers and support. From Odile’s family. A funeral was held on September 28, 2018.

It is difficult to find words to express how thankful we the family are to the many that supported us during Janelle (Engele) Beckman’s passing.

First we would like to thank Dr. R. Graf, Home Care and all staff at the Humboldt Hospital for the care she was given.

Thank you to Fr. Joseph Salihu and Fr. Ephraim Mensah for making Janelle’s funeral mass special and personal, and for the home visits. It was much appreciated.

Many thanks to all who participated in celebrating the funeral mass and the ladies for preparing the lunch for such an abundance of people.

An extra special thanks to family and friends for the cards, food, meals, flowers, gifts, masses, Tristin’s trust fund donations and especially the overwhelming love, support and prayers during our difficult time. Finally thanks to Schuler Lefebvre Funeral Chapel for their tremendous support and service. God Bless You All.
