Raising awareness of child abuse in Saskatchewan rounding areas have given brings more opportunity and awareness to the subject of child abuse. With a great turnout to the event, locals were able to learn more about the importance of bringing awareness to child abuse. The night focused on bringing in the community and getting them more knowledgeable on the facts behind child abuse, and to help the group gain the attention needed to aid support. The non-profit organization has been dedicated in their efforts to teach the public about child abuse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from facts and statistics and understanding how they can help put an end to child abuse, to showing people how they can support victims of child abuse. The group centers around Saskatchewan, riding motorbikes across the province and showing their support to those in need. Having become an organization officially in Canada in June 19, 2014, the group has been slowly spreading across the provinces, bringing in support and getting the funds needed to raise awareness. The Saskatoon Chapter became an official Chapter this past July, already bringing in a large support and members from across the province. Group members and supporters have the opportunity to help children who need to get away from abusive situations or households, taking them in. These children are protected and given the care and support needed post-abuse, and are called the Children of the Guardians. Funds raised at the event are being kept within the Saskatoon Chapter, with the means of raising money for prevention literature, administrative means, and with providing necessities for the Children of the Guardians. These proceeds will help provide a means and improve life for abused children. A quote from the The groups Mission Statement speaks about their mission to help not only children, but families that are in need of protection; â&#x20AC;&#x153;to serve as advocates to provide strength and stability to families in crisisâ&#x20AC;?. When discussing the funds raised, Vice President Carrie Dosch of the Saskatoon Chapter commented on how people were donating for the sake of donating, even when being unable to attend. At least 60 tickets were sold on the night, bringing in many people and families showing support for such an important issue in Humboldt and area. Prizes for the auction were presented on the night, with several heated biddings between possible Christmas gifts, while the kids threw in their tickets for different toys â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one little girl bringing in several prizes for herself. For more information, and to find out how to donate or become a supporter of Guardians of the Children, visit their Facebook Page â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Guardians of the Children Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, or call their helpline at 306-250-1095.

Guardians of the Children were at the Bella Vista on Nov. 28 to raise awareness about child abuse in Saskatchewan with a build your own burger night.

The event boasted a silent auction, meal, entertainment from Greg Torwalt and Cutie the Clown, and games. All toys and prizes were donations from locals and supporters. MC for the evening was group member T-Bone, and helping with hosting the event, guests from the sister chapter in Brandon, Manitoba were there to bring support.

Leroy arena build starting to take shape By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

May 2013 was the biggest disaster that could have ever hit a small town. In a matter of hours, Leroy lost their arena after a electrical fire broke out. Now, construction has started on the new arena for the Town of Leroy and the Raise the Roof project is $500,000 away from their $5.6 million goal. Fundraising and building committees started right away to get their arena back up. Through corporate donations, grants, personal donations and numerous town fundraisers, it only took two years to get the project off the ground. The current total for the project is a little over $5 million and for a community of approximately 600 people, $5 million in 2 years took a lot of hard work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big goal, even with the insurance money, everybody really worked hard in the community.â&#x20AC;? Says Leroy Mayor Brian Thoen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There just has been so many different activities,â&#x20AC;? says Kari Moore with the fundraising committee. From bottle drives and lemonade stands to dinner theatres, auctions, and golf tournaments, the list of fundraisers for Raise the Roof is quite extensive, says Moore. Leroy is also grateful to the surrounding communities who were also involved with fundraising efforts,

says Moore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we had functions going on, everybody contributed in some way and donated.â&#x20AC;? Local farmers have even chipped in by farming a piece of land with all the proceeds from grain sales going to the Raise the Roof. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was basically a group of volunteers, when they have time they take their equipment and put in the time to get the crop in.â&#x20AC;? Says fundraising committee chair Bryce Moore. The first year was a big success for the committee, says Bryce and hopefully will keep being successful for years to come. Building the new arena has been a generous donation of time from the construction side as well, says Thoen. RNF Ventures out of Prince Albert has taken some of the preliminary designs and took the price down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They actually took the price down to 5.9 (million) and they kept working on it and a little bit of design stage inside the building and they got it down to 5.6 (million) with a big contingency on there. So far theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a lot of ground work and...theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re keeping everything on budget.â&#x20AC;? Says Thoen The new building will include meeting rooms above the ice surface, which will eventually be the home for the school of dance. The cement floor will provide space in the summer

WEATHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT

for conferences, reunions, and trade shows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just so many possibilities,â&#x20AC;? says Thoen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a well used facility.â&#x20AC;? For towns that are short on ice time, renting out the arena for local teams is also going to be part of the arenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. Nothing was salvageable from the old building so designs and construction was done from scratch. In two weeks, the outer shell of the building will be complete and construction will be a little easier on workers who spend 12 hour days in the freezing cold, says Orlan Peterson with RNF Ventures, who have been involved with the planning and construction of the new rink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ice surface itself is a huge undertaking because it actually has heat and cooling pipes, which is totally separate from the lobby heating area, so there is a lot of underground roughings that have already gone in.â&#x20AC;? It was not just a building that was lost in a fire. It was pennants and trophies and memories of tournaments won and lost, says Thoen. Generations of Leroy families watched children and grandchildren play hockey and figure skate, he says. Along with the hardwork of numerous members of the community, the arena is on its way to providing many more years of memories for the Town of Leroy.

Conflict of interest rules on the table for municipalities By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Conflicts of interest are sometimes an invisible problem in municipal politics. The Saskatchewan government is trying to change that with new legislation coming in 2016. New legislation was introduced in the legislature on Oct. 18 to make municipal leaders and councilors more transparent when it comes to possible conflicts of interest that could affect decision making. The previous problem was that there was very little guidance when it came to what would constitute a conflict of interest. Saskatchewan Minister of Government Relations Jim Reiter says the government is working with Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA), the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) and New North in developing this legislation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to do is clarify what is expected of councilors. Part in parcel with this is disclosure statements that councilors will now be required to file with the municipality...itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all around clarity and transparency.â&#x20AC;? Humboldt Mayor Malcolm Eaton says that councilors are already asked to fill out a disclosure statement every year noting what property and businesses they own but even with the disclosure

Greetings

form there are ways to be in conflict of interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fill that out accurately and correctly, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in conflict of interest.â&#x20AC;? Says Eaton. Part of the legislation will clarify what constitutes a conflict of interest, private interest and inappropriate use of office and influence. Merely excusing themselves from a vote was sometimes not enough to avoid a conflict of interest, says Reiter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had reports of councilors feeling that they complied with legislation if, when they are in a conflict, they merely excuse themselves from voting. Depending on the issue, that may not be enough.â&#x20AC;? Says Reiter. Legislation will include the provincial ombudsman acting as a third party investigator for conflict of interest accusations, if necessary, says Eaton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the ombudsman office will always be involved.â&#x20AC;? Says Eaton. Reiter says that he does not know specifically how many conflicts of interest issues there have been within municipal politics but his office does hear about them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our office and in our Ministry we do get complaints about how many (issues) are founded or unfounded.â&#x20AC;? For Reiter, even one is too many. The conflict of interest problem came to light

S ANSWER E FROM TH PUZZLES IN LAST WEEKS EAST CENTRAL TRADER

with the Barclay Report in Dec. 2014 during the proposed Wascana Village development on the outskirts of Regina. The proposed development would see an urban subdivision on the southern border of the city. The report found that the Kevin Eberle, the reeve of the RM of Sherwood at the time did note his interest in the development and excused himself from voting on any decisions related to the development. However he did still influence councilors in other ways. The report found that Eberle kept significant information from fellow councilors about his involvement in the development and destroyed and altered municipal documents. This was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very glaring exampleâ&#x20AC;? of a conflict of interest, says Reiter, and could have involved millions of dollars. Other examples from across the province would not have been of that magnitude. Reiter says that these changes are not because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s found a lot of councilors acting inappropriately. Most of them act with the concerns of their area in mind. These new changes will do just as much to protect their interests as well as the interests of their municipality, says Reiter. Consultations with SUMA and SARM about the legislation will continue in the new year, says Reiter.

The specialness of small towns By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

I was always considered special while I travelled. The small town mentality that I was raised with went with me wherever I went. And no one I met really understood that. Granted, Annaheim is tiny. Lake Lenore is tiny. Muenster is tiny. Spalding is even more tiny. But all these places have a lot to offer. It was quite humorous when we lived in Alfred, Ontario during the Katimavik program; a program designed to show off the beauty of Canada from small towns to big cities. It was about the size of St. Brieux with a Subway, Rona, good sized grocery store and a couple of good restaurants. An okay size to me and it was a beautiful place. It had walking trails all around the town and we did do a lot of walking while we were there. The local college was a branch of University of Guelph and the township was situated on the highway between Ottawa and Montreal so it had plenty of traffic coming through town. We were there in the winter and the trails and city streets were snowy and beautiful. To someone from Toronto, Richmond, London, Sainte John, etc. it was Podunk. This town had nothing to offer according to my friends that I had met along the way. Our project leader was also from Ottawa and I do not really remember going out into the community and finding things to do that involved people specifically from the community. From what I remember she had this same, ‘we’re in the middle of nowhere’ mentality the others did. Everyone was very vocal about what this town lacked. You’d hear them on the phone to their families complaining about how this was a nothing town. There’s nothing to do. There is no where we can go. Now imagine me walking into this mentality. I will note that this does not make them bad people. These are some of the closest friends I have ever made. Looking back, I do remember that I was defined a lot by my small towness. I was from a town even smaller than this nothing

town. So what did that make me? I was an anomaly. A freak of rural Saskatchewan. For months after we started living together, we were constantly meeting new people. My introduction to these people was constantly, ‘Becky, tell them how big your town is.’ ‘Becky, you graduated with how many people, again?’ And it was not just the numbers of it all, either. I was glaringly different compared to the city participants. I spoke with strangers, it seemed I was more willing to help out, I was very forward with new ideas to try. I was wide eyed every time we visited places like Ottawa and Montreal, and I was very open about the fact that I was awed by it all. I don’t remember the exact wording of the comment but someone did point out the fact of, ‘you’ve never even been to a place this big, have you?’ Growing up in a place where you volunteered a lot, a whole program dedicated to volunteering in towns and city you’ve never been to was a dream for me. But I was this new idea people had to get used to. I blew peoples’ minds just by existing in such a small and isolated place.

I think we missed out on a lot of things that could have presented small town life as something more desirable to my big city friends. Part of the reason was the timing. We were there from mid-November to mid-February. The town sign boasted numerous events happening in the spring and summer. We just were not there for it all. But their attitudes towards the place itself played a big role in how they treated Alfred. If you walk into a place thinking it has nothing to offer you, there is very little that is going to change your mind on the subject. That was the reason I was treated so differently than everyone else. How could I have existed in a place that has nothing to offer? It obviously did have something to offer because I did indeed exist in that place. I thrived in that place. That place molded who I was long after I left it.

Burning through the benefits of flax straw By Taryn Riemer Tisdale Recorder Reporter

Flax can be a great crop for farmers to have in their rotation, but the leftover straw is problematic to dispose of. Many farmers choose to burn the flax straw, but there is another option. Biolin Research Inc. was started in 1998 by Alvin Ulrich in conjunction with a company from Hong Kong. Ulrich, Biolin’s president, was working at the University of Saskatchewan part-time when he was looking into alternative agricultural practices that could be profitable. “There was a whole list of them. There was raising trout indoors, growing Christmas trees, raising elk, raising wild boar, growing saskatoons, growing chokecherries, growing flax fibre,” said Ulrich. When Ulrich was looking into flax fibre he met a guy in Québec, originally from France, who was trying to restart the flax fibre industry. That man was working with a company from Hong Kong. Since Ulrich frequented China for his other parttime job of consulting, he stopped in Hong Kong to meet with the company and Biolin was born. In the beginning, the company imported European fibre flax seeds and used Canadian oilseed flax. They did things by hand and imitated what machines would be doing in Europe. A surprising finding was the fact oilseed flax fibre was actually quite good. “It turns out it does have good fibre, it just doesn’t have as much as fibre flax and in our traditional way of harvesting flax we spoil a lot of the potential of the fibre by putting the straw through combines, chopping it all up, dropping it in a row behind the combine, letting it sit in the stubble a few inches off the ground. We almost do everything that you could to be really negative to spoil the quality of the straw,” said Ulrich. In changing the way they handled the straw, they were able to get nice products from the oilseed flax. After a couple of years, the company from Hong Kong went into receivership and that was the end of the partnership. However, Ulrich said since they had gained a lot of experience, it would have been

a shame to quit. “We kept working away and we started working with the Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission,” said Ulrich. “They were interested in what could we do with our flax straw.” Ulrich said they didn’t like when people were burning it all the time and so they started to work on some projects together and built a pilot plant in Saskatoon. Today, the company has outgrown its Saskatoon base and has moved to Elstow. They’re not working with the Flax Commission at the moment, but Ulrich said that could change. Biolin does a combination of research and processing. The biggest thing they are working on is making use of the flax straw from farmers and looking into if you can grow a dedicated fibre crop using flax fibre. With both of these projects they look at using the straw to make fibre and chives, the hard inner part of the straw. With oilseed flax, the straw is about 80 per cent chives and 20 per cent fibre. After processing it turns into about 75 per cent, 18 per cent fibre and the rest is waste product. Fibre can be used for many different things including linen (clothing), putting it in plastic parts for vehicles instead of fibreglass, and insulation. “In Europe there’s probably six or seven companies making insulation for walls and ceilings with flax rather than with fibreglass. So it’s only a little more expensive than the fibreglass insulation but it’s so much more comfortable to install,” said Ulrich, adding it can be shredded and left to rot in a field after you don’t need it. Chives can be used for things such as mulch and horse bedding. Ulrich said they are looking at all aspects of the flax straw. “What kind of fibre do we get, what kind of chives do we get, how much do we get, what do we sell it for, can we upgrade it in different ways, who would buy it, why would they buy it, what are the competing products, how could we market it, what’s the advantages of flax fibre or chives over competing products,” he said.

They’re also looking into how to become a profitable processor. On the fibre side, Ulrich said it’s hard to grow incrementally. “You have to make a big jump because most fibre users are big users. Most of them are in Eastern Canada or Eastern U.S. To make your fibre competitive with other fibres you have to ship in shipping containers, you can’t ship on a pallet,” said Ulrich. Ulrich also said most of these companies need a big commitment of flax fibre in order to do business with you. For example, if they make a commitment to a manufacturer or distributor for so many products a year for so many years, then they need to be able to have that fibre coming in. “They have to go back to say a fibre supplier like us and say we need you to promise you can supply 80 tonnes a month of the same kind of fibre for the next two years or we can’t buy, we can’t make a contract with you. Well you say I can only do five tonnes once in a while, no, that’s not good enough,” said Ulrich. Ulrich said right now they’re not at the point of being big enough to provide products to companies in the example above, but they hope to be. As for chives, they can sell those locally no problem, since they don’t need to supply them in huge amounts. This year is one where they’re hoping to grow and get some more shareholders. Ulrich said this year they are looking for farmers who want to get rid of their straw instead of burning it. Although he can’t pay them for it right now, he hopes to do this in the future and provide an incentive to have good flax straw. “We’d like to build incentives for the quality of the straw and some farmers would be happy trying to get better quality of straw and other farmers would go, ‘no I don’t care, I don’t care just take my rubbish and that’s it, get it off the land.’ So different farmers have different goals, different circumstances,” said Ulrich. Ulrich also said eventually he would like to be able to have more processing plants around Saskatchewan so he can accommodate farmers from all over the province.

Planting for the market: a brief history of wheat

Calvin Daniels Wheat has long been the crop which has defined Prairie agriculture in Canada. The region was settled, and the soil tilled, primarily to grow wheat, and farmers did that singular task well. So well in fact, the country was recognized widely as the breadbasket of the world. Wheat after all is one of the key crops in feeding the world, at least in countries where bread is

part of the diet. Of course the consumption of bread is different today than even when I was a youngster. Back in the 1960s, and ’70s you rarely sat down to a meal without a bowl of bread or buns on the table. It was just a part of a table setting like salt and pepper. Even in a restaurant soup always came with a bun and a meal with slices of bread on the table. It was of course a thing left over from a time when people worked physically demanding jobs, and when bread was a low cost food alternative. Most homes would have baked bread two, three times a week to feed the family, and we are not talking one frozen dough loaf pulled from the freezer, thawed

and baked. This was scratch made bread, and multiple loaves baked t h a t p e r f e c t b ro w n , slathered with butter to enhance the look, and with luck served warm at coffee with homemade jam. Of course bread is not the only change in our meals. Dessert was standard fare as part of a meal, restaurant, or at home. Afternoon coffee was a time for a slab of pie, homemade, and that was at home, or on the road. Pull into any restaurant in the days of my youth, and baked ‘in-restaurant’ pies were expected, and eaten with coffee as a common, normal thing to do. Through such changes wheat became less the focus crop. The cropping rotation grew more

diverse. The emergence of canola and demand for its oil with the distinctive properties being the biggest crop change. It has grown to the point it is now the number one acreage crop on the Canadian Prairies, and while there might not be a lasting nickname with the change, the region is certainly the primary production area for canola in the world. But even with demand for canola and still the skill set to grow lots and lots of wheat, farmers are always looking for additional crops which might make them a better profit. The list is long, with some crops getting a foothold in rotations, and others coming and going in a matter of a few years. The list of

what are all essentially inch crops is long; ranging from oats, through lentils, field peas, quinoa, coriander, canary seed, lupins, pinto beans, buckwheat, chickpeas and recently soybeans and corn. None have become major crops, although collectively legume crops are important. And, there are things which suggest soybeans will become a major crop here, thanks to agronomics and new varieties. The trouble with any field crop ultimately comes down to two things. To start with the market for any crop is based on supply and demand. When prices are good farmers will rush to over-produce for the demand and that will push prices lower.

And, field crops are generally headed to markets where they feed people. While much of the world teeters on the edge of food shortages and people going to bed hungry, they are the world’s poorest people. It is impossible for those people to pay prices for a crop which covers the cost of production back here on the Canadian Prairies. The dual situation means many crops farmers grow will only be profitable at times of low production and high demand, leaving farmers constantly looking for something they might grow that stabilizes return year-to-year. Of course that too can change over a few years as what we eat, and how we eat it is continually in a state of evolution.

Learning to curl: a very Saskatchewan experience By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

It is surprising, I know but I have curled a total of twice in my life. Growing up in Annaheim, I was four when the curling rink was torn down. Beyond that, there were not regular opportunity to curl for a family that mainly focused on hockey. Curling has been synonymous with a Canadian childhood, even a Saskatchewan childhood. Watching the Brier on TV, the Scotties and movies like Men with Brooms, they make it look so Canadian. Watching it on TV, you get the terms; house, hack, hammer, guards, take outs. But I honestly feel like I missed out on a Saskatchewan experience by not learning to curling. To clarify, I did curl once or twice in university when my friends rec team needed another player. I got the basic three minute introduction on sliding out of the hack and how to sweep. There was a lot of slipping and sliding, even once being splayed out in starfish/snow angel form but very little curling from my end. I do not think I even hit the house once. I was always either blowing it out the back or barely making it over the hog line. So I went to Kevin Karlthoff from the Humboldt Curling Club looking to have an actual curling lesson. Kevin himself is an avid curler and even has gone to a couple of Briers. He is always open to teaching anyone the game. First off, there is nothing more Canadian than going into a curling rink to warm up from the cold outside. Kevin said it is about 6 degrees in the rink on a day where it was minus 15 degrees outside. All I needed was a light sweater. I wore mitts but they really just got in the way. Kevin is all for teaching people how to curl and like anything else, it just takes practice. First part of the lesson, stretching. You use muscles you do not normally use, says

Kevin, especially in your legs and shoulders. “When you’re sweeping for a game, your shoulders will get sore, your arms too.” Next, getting in and out of the hack. A new tool developed by Curl Saskatchewan for beginner curlers allows the new curler to push off out of the hack while getting your foot in the right position. “It gives you a little bit of stability and then you realize, ‘okay, I got to get that foot in front of me and I need that balance, because if I don’t have the slider foot in the middle of my body, I’m going to go flying.’” Once you have the form down, getting into the hack and throwing rocks is the easy part. Getting into the hack and throwing rocks into the house, that is the tricky part. My best shot was about 5 feet from the first ring of the house which, considering my first trained curling, I was pretty happy about. Noted, I did not have a specific target to aim for, I was just throwing rocks down the ice and hoping they got in the house. There was also no one to sweep for me so really, if I would have had sweepers I could have easily made it into the house, said Kevin.

Along with aim comes spin. The way Kevin explained it is over spin and under spin will not get you very far. Your spin should either go from 10 o’clock to 12 o’clock for an in turn and 2 o’clock to 12 o’clock for the out turn. It is just that little spin that makes it go. After the release, you should be in what Kevin refers to as the “handshake position.” “When you let the rock go, you should able shake the other persons hand.” Having a team of four, everyone has a specific rock to throw. The skip is an important person because they are going to be the one giving you the target to aim at. “He’s the guy directing the whole end, plus he’s the guy that’s got to throw last. So he’s the guy, he’s the leader.” Out of eight rocks, the lead throws the first 2 rocks, the second throws the third and fourth rocks, the third throws the fifth and sixth and the skip throws the seventh and eighth. One thing that I had trouble with my first couple times was sweeping. First of all, as a beginner, you’re constantly afraid of losing your balance, especially while trying to get ahead of the rock to sweep in front of it. When I told Kevin that, he had an obvious piece of advice: if you can’t keep up with the rock, there is little sweeping can do to change its trajectory. When the rock is going slow enough to sweep in front of it, sweep hard. “You’re trying to create friction. That’s what makes the rocks go further.” Leaning hard on the broom and sweeping fast, in other words, hurrying hard, is the whole point of “curling” and getting the rock to “curl”. Waving your broom in front of it will do nothing. Under the advise of a great teacher; thank you, Kevin, I was able to learn pretty quickly the basics of the game. All that’s left, like anything else, says Kevin, is to practice. So what this whole experience has basically taught me is I really have to find someone to curl with. It was a fun sport to learn.

Annaheim boys win volleyball gold at home By Shane Kunz Journal Contributor

The Annaheim Rebels Sr. Boys volleyball team are provincial champions. And victory has never felt so sweet for the team. The villages of Annaheim and Lake Lenore played host and co-host, respectively, to the 2015 1A Boys Volleyball Provincial Championships on Nov. 27-28. Annaheim won the bid last year to host the annual tournament, and they have been preparing for the event ever since.

“It’s a very special moment to host an event like this in your hometown,” said Blair Wourms, coach of the Rebels. “I just told the boys to go out and play their game and we would have success.” Annaheim did have success right from the opening serve, going undefeated in round robin play and playoffs and losing only one set all weekend on their way to victory. The Rebels faced the Avonlea Eagles in the first game of the tournament, beating them in two sets by scores of 25-15 and 25-19. Annaheim’s next game was against another team named the Rebels, from Rouleau. The hometown Rebels came up victorious again with two consecutive 25-18 scores. The team’s next game proved to be their most challenging in the round robin. They faced a team that was also undefeated at that point, the Goodsoil Vikings. The Rebels fought through two tough games to take the match 28-26 and 25-21 and finished off the day 3-0-0. After defeating the Gladmar Falcons on Saturday morning, the Rebels finished first place in their pool and took on the fourth place team from the opposite pool, Coronach Colts, in the quarterfinals in Lake Lenore. Annaheim kept their perfect tournament going, winning handily over the Colts by scores of 25-14 and 25-22 and advancing to the semifinals against another Colts team from Colonsay. The Rebels advanced to the gold medal match after a hard fought, three set win over the Colts,

25-19, 18-25, 25-15. They were scheduled for a rematch against Goodsoil in the championship game. Annaheim dominated play in the first set, a 25-18 win, but let their lead slip away in the second set. After trailing 23-17 and a third set just points away, the Rebels offence came alive and rallied the team to eight straight points and a dramatic 25-23 comeback victory. The win gave the school their second provincial volleyball title and the fifth time in eight years winning a provincial medal. “I’m lost for words right now,” said Wourms after the victory. “It’s one thing to win it all, but to do it in your hometown in front of all the fans out here is just an unbelievable feeling.” Wourms says he extremely proud of his boys or not giving up. “When you get down a lot of points it’s very easy to quit if you want to and our boys didn’t. They stuck with it and battled hard, made some key plays, and were able to capitalize in the end.” Jenna Spencer, coach of the Goodsoil Vikings, commended Annaheim on their play and organization of the tournament. “It was a really fun tournament. The community of Annaheim did a great job organizing it and we were really happy to be a part of something so special. Our boys played really well and Annaheim deserved to win.” The Rebels’ triumph marked the second time in as many years that the host team won gold at 1A boys provincials. The Mossbank Prairie Lightning won the title against Annaheim in their hometown last year.

Goodsoil qualified for the gold medal match by defeating the Pierceland Panthers in the semifinal, a team they were all too familiar with during their season. “Being our rivals twenty minutes down the road, you can imagine we crossed paths a lot this season,” replied Spencer. “We’ve always had tough battles with them and it’s been a challenging season, but it’s really rewarding to go home with the silver medal.” Pierceland defeated Colonsay in the bronze medal match by scores of 25-19 and 26-24.

LOROFF: Mary Margaret (Suek) Feb. 16, 1924 - Nov. 18, 2015 The death of Mrs. Mary Margaret (nee Warren) Loroff of Caleb Village, Humboldt, SK, occurred on Wednesday, November 18, 2015, at Humboldt District Hospital. Mary was born to Arthur and Barbara (nee Poth) Warren on February 16, 1924, in St. Elizabethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, Humboldt. She was raised on the family farm southwest of Humboldt. The family were members of Conception Church. Mary attended Hillsley Country School and, eventually, attained her Grade 12 equivalency through G.E.D. In July of 1940, she entered the workforce, initially at St. Elizabethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital for two years and was then employed at a few private homes. In 1943, Mary married Edward Suek. Nine children were born to them; however, three died very young. Mary took some upgrading courses and in 1965 went back to work at St. Elizabethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital. For 10 years, she worked night shifts on the Pediatric Ward and then managed Central Supply. In 1980, Mary and Frank Loroff were married. Mary retired in 1984. In their retirement years, she and Frank loved spending time with their grandchildren and, especially, at their cabin at Kipabiskau. They also enjoyed travelling to many places, taking bus tours and casino trips, and going on cruises. As well, Mary derived great pleasure from her home and the outdoors, and spent many pleasurable hours working in her yard and the large garden she planted and harvested every year. During the last few years, she loved socializing and playing cards with her friends at Caleb. Mary will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by six children, 13 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, and two great-greatgrandchildren: ROBERT (Linda) Suek and family, Janet Suek (Andre Blackrose), and Frank Suek (Nicole Stushnoff) [Eden Armstrong and Evan Suek]; FAITH â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fayeâ&#x20AC;?

Learning about employment standards By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor Susan Wehage knows the difficulties of running a small business. The small business specialist with Community Futures Sagehill out of Bruno says that Employment Standards for Rural Municipalities on Nov. 17 invited RM administrators and council to discuss standards for their workers. Working with many RM administrators, Wehage saw the need for a program like this one. After attending a previous session about RM policy, 95 per cent of administrators left confused “Within two weeks I had this organized because for our region, there are a lot of RMs in our area.” The session was open to the entire province so Wehage had administrators coming into Humboldt from down south and past PrinceAlbert and between Quill Lake and Young. Overtime is difficult to comprehend for RM administrators, and was the main point Sagehill was marketing to RM staff, says Wehage, since there are some exemptions that need to be taken into account. “That is basically one of the biggest issues that the RMs have in determining, is it overtime or are they exempt.” That is where towns and RMs are different, says Wehage since all the policies are the same except the policy on overtime. It is all in where they end their day, says Wehage. Whether they end their day in the shop or on the road is the deciding factor on whether it is con-

sidered overtime work. This is where it gets confusing for staff who are doing payroll, says Wehage, because they still have a 40 hour work week. “Today a lot of lights went on. I think it was pretty clear now that people got an understanding from that session.” Office wide modified work agreements does not apply to road crews, only to office staff and those have to be agreed to on a 50 per cent plus 1 agreement, says Wehage. Some people were surprised by when this was discussed, she says. Some of the other issues that were discussed were paid leaves, time cards, holding positions, and termination. Wehage says there was lots of good discussion and sharing of procedures which was a good part of the session. In 2018, hourly payroll will be changing in the province and there was a lot of discussion on that. Right now, is a grace period for employers. Community Futures Sagehill is notified when there are changes to employment legislation. They take this opportunity to discuss these changes with their members and they then have a way to voice their concerns, says Wehage. In this session when it comes to overtime legislation, Wehage says the staff can now go as a group, if they chose, and voice their concerns with the legislation. “Not saying it will get changed, but there is an opportunity for them to voice their opinions on it.” Wehage says she was happy to

offer the session and even from the discussion afterwards, there was plenty of ideas for new sessions.

National writing challenge a call to local writers By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College student Sadie Perkins has known about National Novel Writing Month for years. It was only two years ago that she decided to take on the challenge of writing a 50,000 word novel in just a month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always kind of wanted to do it but hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really devoted the time to do it. Finally one year I decided to bite the bullet and just started.â&#x20AC;? For the month of November, that becomes the challenge for thousands of writers all around the world. Take 30 straight days and write. In Saskatchewan alone, there were 2,137 writers registered with Nanowrimo.org. The website itself offers planning resources to get started and keep going, pep talks from successful authors like Diana Gabaldon, Charlaine Harris, John Green and Neil Gaiman and advertising space for local writing events. Local writer, Hazel Kellner says that she shuts herself away to write her Alberta Western but she can see how having the support of other writers

would be an asset. Her first challenge was 6 years ago and that year she did complete the 50,000 words but she has yet to complete it a second time. The suggested word count per day was around 1600 words but Kellner says she sets a goal of around 1800 a day. Some days she did not get the chance to write at all, others days she would not come close to her goal and others she would get over 3000 words in a single day. That is the challenge of the month because writing everyday is usually the key to success, she says. Kellner says she will be around the 80 per cent mark by the last day of writing, which she is a little disappointed with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of a shortfall in some ways but the other side of it is, as a friend told me, those are word that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written that you might not have written in November.â&#x20AC;? Perkins is a planner, she says. She knew the plot of her first story and she went from there, taking an hour a day to write 2500 words. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It works for me because I plan ahead of time, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very much an organizer and I plan out the book.â&#x20AC;? Perkins has seen the challenge done in many forms, including a collection of poetry. The main goal is the word count, she says. She remembers last year feeling that her writing

was not very good but she kept on going. Kellner says the trick is resisting the urge to go back and edit the story. This year, Perkins wrote her novel with a coauthor, each taking the reigns whenever they felt inspired by their muse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a very rough skeleton of it but then somebody will come up with an idea, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll throw another couple of chapters in.â&#x20AC;? This year, her story is a romance set in Victorian England with a mysterious twist, says Perkins. Last year, her story was a Stephen King like cat and mouse tale and Perkins did complete the 50,000 word challenge. Getting through the challenge was not that difficult for Perkins. She hates failure, she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That in itself is a ton of motivation because I put a lot of pressure on myself when I do projects.â&#x20AC;? After she finished, Perkins was very glad she finished it, despite the pressure. Her advice to those on the novel writing fence; just do it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stress over the 50,000 word goal, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the traditional goal, as long as you write something during the month, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won.â&#x20AC;? This is the 16 year of National Novel Writing Month. For more information on taking the novel writing challenge in 2016, visit nanowrimo.org.
