McMaster brings motown to Humboldt and area By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor Luke McMaster got a double dose of the Humboldt area this past weekend. The Manitoba singer enjoyed a show in Watrous on Feb. 12 with Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils and the Watrous Area Arts Council and then performed for the Humboldt Collegiate crowd on Feb. 13, with proceeds going to the Yearbook Committee. McMaster, who is the second half of the band McMaster and James from the late 90s, loves coming through Saskatchewan on tours. “We had such a great time last time, we were like we had to find a

16023CP1

way to get back to Humboldt.” McMaster admits he comes from a nonmusical family, so it was expected that he would go on to be an academic, an English major since he is not the math genius like the rest of his family. He was signed up to go to Brandon University where his dad was a professor before deciding to choose a musical path, he says. His musical prowess is something he kept secret from his friends, who were mostly jocks. McMaster was an athlete as well but was very shy when it came to his music. “It was just one of those things. Brandon University has a great jazz music program but there just wasn’t a lot of contemporary music happening at the time.” His music was not something he was willing to share after basketball practice with all his buddies so he had a late start to his career, says McMaster. Compared to band partner, Rob James, who has been singing in choirs all his life; McMaster did not buy his first guitar until he was 16 years old. That has not stopped him from releasing a gold record in Canada with McMaster and James with songs like, ‘Love Wins Everytime,’ and ‘I Understand,’ and winning numerous awards as a songwriter. Now that he has taken on a solo career releasing his first album in 2013, he has been working on his newest

independent album, ‘Trending’, for the past year and half. He is happy to announce that it officially out on presale on Pledge Music. Since this record is done independently, fans can also pledge money to help artists finish their music by buying merchandise and packages through the site, like house concerts and tickets to shows. McMaster has done the bigger shows in Saskatoon and Regina but he’s toured a lot of the in between. He was last in Humboldt two and a half years ago and had a blast, he says. Throughout his career, McMaster has done the stadium shows when opening for stars like Randy Bachman, Justin Timberlake and Christine Aguilera but he feels that people welcome singers differently in small towns. “I like to leave the stage and wander around in the crowd and when it’s a smaller crowd, I’ll sit next to people and I’ll be singing and they’re singing along.” Especially with the motown sound, McMaster says his show is very inclusive and Humboldt will be the first to hear some of his new music along with some McMaster and James tunes. His shows have a little something for everyone, from 12-yearold kids to 90-year-old couples, says McMaster, and he hopes everyone had a great time.

Celebrating 10 years as Horizon with cake and kids By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

It has been 10 years since the Horizon School division was amalgamated from six school divisions around the Humboldt area. Horizon celebrated with the grade 1-4 students from Watson school and the Education Deputy Minister Julie MacRae. “It’s a very special day for everyone concerned,� says MacRae. “It’s a milestone in the journey of post amalgamation for the school division.� Horizon Director of Education, Kevin Garinger says that having a member of the ministry a special opportunity. “We celebrate together because it’s an accomplishment not just as a school board but as a province.� Bringing the students in to celebrate with the Horizon office staff and board members was also something very important to Garinger. “To have our children here to celebrate with us, that’s what it is all about. Education is about them and supporting them to the best of our ability.� Having the opportunity to meet a government minister or a member of their board is something that does not happen to every child. Those experiences last and say that there are adults who care about their education, says Garinger. “That’s the message that will be impacted on our children.� Says Garinger. Even though he wishes that every school could be in on the celebration, Garinger says Watson deserves the opportunity just like any other school in the division. MacRae says that connecting the students to the education community helps portray education in a positive light. “A little bit of cake never hurts,� she laughs. The province wide amalgamation took place at the start of the 2006 school year and saw 71 divisions turned into 12 new districts and 2 restructured. Amalgamation did make for modest savings in administration costs, says MacRae, and those can go back into programs for the schools. For this school division, becoming Horizon meant a unity of purpose in ensuring all students feel safe, valued and respected, says MacRae. “We have as a province come through a process of ensuring that everyone in our province puts student needs at the centre of all of our planning.� As a province, MacRae says there is more that can be done to capitalize on distance learning but with improvements in technology, learning does not have to always be face to face. Much has changed in the past 10 years with the division changing their focus to three main areas of concern; safe and caring community, literacy and assessment, and a focus on working together, says Garinger. In 2006, Horizon School Division was amalgamated from 6 former school divisions: - Humboldt School Division - Humboldt Rural School Division, - Lakeview School Division, - Lanigan School Division, - Sask Central School Division, - Wakaw School Division

Americans believe sasquatches live in Saskatchewan By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

Some Americans never cease to amaze me with their ignorance and I do not mean that in a mean or negative way. The oxford dictionary describes ignorant as ‘lacking knowledge or awareness in general.’ If you think about it for a minute, that definition perfectly describes some Americans when it comes to Canada. There used to be a segment on This Hour Has 22 Minutes called Rick Mercer Talking to Americans. Mercer was able to convince Americans of the most ludicrous things. He once convinced a professor at Columbia University to sign a petition that stopped Canadians from placing senior citizens on northern ice flows and leaving them to perish. He convinced them that our national monument was the National Igloo. He convinced a professor at Harvard that Saskatchewan was hunting seals to which he replied that that was “bad”. He convinced an ex-Iowa governor that Canada had just adopted the 24-hour clock, around the year 2000. He had people congratulate Canada on becoming apart of North America, on reaching a population of one million, for legalizing VCR’s, on getting

electric lights in parliament, for finishing a tunnel to China, for getting a McDonald’s, for getting FM radio, the list goes on and on. It baffles me to think that Americans can be so ignorant that they do not even realize that what they are congratulating us for or being convinced of is so ridiculous that there is no way that it could ever be true. It is not like the people on the show were just some random people off of the street either. He convinced students studying the very subjects he convinced them of. He convinced professors at major American universities. And he convinced governors of some of the states. He even famously told George W. Bush that Jean Chretien’s name was Jean Poutine to which Bush failed to correct him. Some of you may say ‘yes but that was almost 20 years ago’ and you would be right but the American ignorance is still there. You may also be asking yourself, ‘why are you talking about it now and what does it have to do with Saskatchewan’? I bring this up because last week during a Dallas Mavericks basketball game the broadcaster showed his own level of ignorance. During the contest the broadcaster was referring to Saskatoon resident Trey Lyles and said that he was the first National Basketball Association player to ever come from Saskatchewan. He then

proceeded to say “Of course that region known for being home to a lot of Sasquatches.” His broadcast colleague wisely pointed out “I don’t think it is,” but the broadcaster was convinced, (which broadcaster was convinced?) even going as far as to say that Saskatchewan was named after the Sasquatches. Are you kidding me? He cannot honestly believe that right? Well if it was a joke the commentator never said it was. This did bring up an interesting piece of trivia though. What does Saskatchewan mean? Saskatchewan comes from the Cree word meaning free flowing river. As for Americans’ ignorance although it is funny to hear and to joke about. Wouldn’t it be nice if our friends to the south did at least know simple facts about Canada? I’m not asking them to know what Saskatchewan means, there are plenty of Canadians that do not know what it means but I am asking them to at least have enough knowledge to know that it does not mean Sasquatch. What would ever happen if Americans were actually required to know simple facts about Canada? I do not know and quite frankly I am afraid to find out.

Treat your seniors well By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Speaking with Chrystene Ells and Rowan Pantel last week about her experience in a couple Saskatchewan seniors homes, nothing she said was new. She talked with people who have been lonely and depressed. People who receive little in the way of emotional care or intellectual stimulation. People who are confused and scared and frustrated by their circumstances. Like Pantel and Ells said, it is not because of lack of dedication from the staff. It is a lack of funding to provide the level of care that is needed. There was little Pantel and Ells could do after their funding ran out to continue the level of interaction they were providing with the Hello In There/Hello Out There program. These are amazing stories that Pantel and Ells took the time to discover from just ordinary Saskatchewan people. These are stories of trappers and phone operators and other ways of life that have disappeared. Men and women who survived the most harrowing times of the last century; the dirty 30s and two world wars. Women who could no long remember their husbands names but could remember how happy they were. These are stories that need to be told, not just for our sake but also for the sake of the storytellers. Ells says a lot of good came out of the program. Residents who were on anti-depressants no longer needed pills. One resident who hadn’t said a word in years actually interacted with fellow residents. This program provided them an escape back to times when they were happy, if only for a little while each

week. Unfortunately, in a lot of cases, this loss of interaction and lonely is also caused in part by family members not providing that care to their relative. Ells heard firsthand about family members never coming to visit or, in one sad case, the family putting the gentleman in the facility without his knowledge or input. At the time he was talking to Ells, he didn’t even know what happened to his belongs or his house. Ells saw in a lot of cases that it wasn’t until after the person was gone that the family realized how lonely and depressed they were. You know where else I’ve heard the same kind of stories? People who abandon dogs at the SPCA. I spoke to Ells about how she felt working with seniors, especially ones that were not visited by family. Just listening to these stories, some going so far as to sound like elder neglect, even I was angered by the situation. I asked Ells if she felt angry at the families and she said no, she just wished that families would take the time to listen to their seniors and hear how frustrated they are or how lonely they are. I realize that there is only so much we can do to care for our seniors but by the stories that Ells told, it sounded like there was much more that could be done. Sometimes going in to visit a family member is a thankless job. Sometimes you will not see the good you are doing. Sometimes you will question the good that it does. But these are people who need support and love, even after they cannot remember who you are. Also remember that we will get to this point in our lives, too. Is this how we’d like to be treated or do we want things to change?

Families were invited out to enjoy an afternoon of fun and activities with horse drawn carriages to take families for a ride. As well, families or individuals could go skiing, tobogganing and snowshoeing. Funday organizer, Brian Grest, said the day was designed as part of the province wide In Motion Initiative. “Outdoor activities is what it’s all about,” he said. photo by Christopher Lee

Signing sluggers high on Jays’ agenda

By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

Financially, the Toronto Blue Jays may not be able to sign their twin slugging stars, Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion. But for the sake of the new management regime’s introduction to Blue Jay Nation, can they afford not to? Pitchers and catchers report to spring training sites in Florida and Arizona this week, which means the Major League Baseball season and Canada’s love affair with the Blue Jays resumes after a four-month hiatus. The pressing question as the Jays gather in Dunedin, Florida to prepare for 2016 centres around their two veteran sluggers, both of whom could be free agents at the end of this season. So, with Bautista being 36 when his contract expires, and Encarnacion being 34, does new general manager

Ross Atkins spend big bucks to sign the two veteran sluggers, does he let one of them go and keep the other, or does he say farewell to them both? Money not spent on long-term deals for Bautista and Encarnacion could be used to shore up the minor league system — decimated last year by a series of trades that brought in a couple of big names (the half-season rental of David Price, Josh Donaldson and Troy Tulowitzki) — but it would probably send a message to Blue Jays fans that the chase for championships is over for the time being, and another rebuilding process is under way. Former general manager Alex Anthopoulos left the team in a front office shuffle after last season and two former executives of the Cleveland Indians — a team which hasn’t won a World Series since 1954 — are in charge. Team president Mark Shapiro has the unenviable job of trying to please his Rogers owners by watching the pennies while also trying to please the millions of fans across Canada by ensuring the on-field product is as exciting as it was last season. So the first order of business is: What to do with his two free-agentsto-be? Bautista has hit more homers in the past six seasons than anyone in MLB and his ‘bat flip’ against the Texas Rangers last season will go down in Canadian sports lore. Encarnacion has averaged 31.5 homers per season over the same period.

As free agents, the two could command four- or five-year deals in the $100 million range from free-spending clubs. Would the Jays commit such money to players who will be in their late 30s or entering their 40s when their contracts expire? It won’t be long before Jays fans find out if ownership believes that not pinching pennies leads to a better on-field product, which theoretically leads to more profits. Or if simply pinching pennies is the preferred path. • Dwight Perry of the Settle Times: “Wal-Mart is selling caskets and urns adorned with your favourite MLB team’s logo. The Phillies one is especially popular, we hear, if you plan to be buried before June 1.” • Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “The Oakland Raiders are thinking of moving to Las Vegas. NFL players in a city with 24-hour drinking, gambling, strippers and hookers. What could possibly go wrong? In addition, they are looking into the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah.” • Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “Colin Kaepernick apparently wants out with the SF 49ers to play for the Jets. This is like an elephant trying to abandon Barnum & Bailey’s for Ringling Brothers.” • NOT SportsCenter, on Twitter: “NFL Rule 7.34.17: A “catch” happens when a receiver puts 2 hands on a ball, stops, takes a selfie with it and

History of laying hens an uncertain one

Calvin Daniels In Canada raising poultry, whether for meat, or eggs, is something of a niche sector in agriculture, given it has been supply-managed for years now. Under a couple of recently agreed to trade deals the sector is likely to change dramatically, some suggest all but disappear, in the years ahead, but that is column fodder for another today. More immediate though is the impact business is having on the way eggs are going to be produced. On Feb 1, Tim Hortons announced a commitment to source only

cage-free eggs for its restaurants in Canada, the US and Mexico by 2025. “Tim Hortons’ is responsible for approximately six out of every ten egg sandwiches sold in Canada – about 288 million per year,” detailed a release from World Animal Protection (WAP). “Tim Hortons’ announcement today is the most substantial cage-free sourcing commitment made by a Canadian restaurant chain we’ve seen to date,” says World Animal Protection Canada’s Executive Director Josey Kitson in the release, “and will positively impact the lives of more than 650,000 laying hens in Canada alone.” Now WAP has its agenda, but it is groups like theirs which influence businesses such as Tim Hortons to make such a move. And with Tim Hortons going the cage-free egg direction, the industry may well be dragged

along. A day after the Tim Hortons announcement six leading Canadian animal protection agencies called on A&W Food Services of Canada to stop using eggs from caged-hens. While announcements b y o t h e r re s t a u r a n t chains, including Tim Hortons and McDonald’s Canada, that they will go cage-free, have been made, and A&W has committed to using ‘enriched cages’ for laying hens, which are larger than the battery cages the groups have rallied against, the six are not satisfied. The letter, addressed to A&W CEO Paul Hollands, states via a release: “Enriched cages severely restrict important physical activities including running, flying and wing-flapping and do not permit unrestrained perching and dustbathing.” The letter goes on to suggest consumers have

turned against eggs from caged hens and that, “To them and to the wider public, a cage is a cage.” That is a statement that is difficult to quantify. I happen to be sitting in a fast food restaurant as I write this and I doubt they’ve had many, if any, breakfast customers ask how the hens laying the eggs they order are raised. That said if the question were asked ‘should a laying hen be housed in a cage, or running in a yard?’ the best choice would appear to be the yard. Of course I grew up on a farm where a pen of laying hens would at times begin pecking one of the flock, and within a short time the damage was so great nothing could be done. All is not rosy free range either. The WAP release does note such a move by Tim Hortons will have a cost. “Tim Hortons’ commitment to source cage-

free eggs for its more than 4,500 North American restaurants will require a substantial investment from Canadian egg producers,” it detailed. And therein lies a significant aspect of the equation. It is doubtful the concerned citizens want their breakfast sandwiches to cost more, so the chain can pay more for cage-free eggs to help producers offset the cost of converting their operations. The future of laying operations has been under review by the National Farm Animal Care Council’s (NFACC) Code of Practice Development Committee for the egg-laying hen industry. The process brings together farmers with the humane movement, veterinarians, animal welfare scientists and other stakeholders to deliberate and come to consensus on national Codes of Practice that improve animal welfare based on independent

scientific literature. A moratorium on construction of new barren battery cages is part of those discussions, as are a possible phase out of such systems. The Egg Farmers of Canada’s (EFC) has proposed 20-year phase out of these systems. Not surprisingly the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS) is not pleased suggesting the EFC timeframe is nearly twice as long as the 12 years provided in the European Union for the same transition. And so the producer is stuck in a time of uncertainty, almost assuredly facing additional costs to deal with a changing marketplace based on what is certainly a vocal opposition, but one where the grassroots support is difficult to quantify, and to determine whether they are making choices based on emotion, or solid research.

Prevention the best treatment for heart disease

By Dr. Megan Parker, ND Health Columnist

February is known as Heart month to raise awareness for cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in North America. The best treatment for cardiovascular disease is prevention. The earlier we intervene and minimize our risk factors, the greater the impact on our overall health. Dietary and lifestyle modifications are considered the first line treatment for cardiovascular disease. Research shows that diet and lifestyle modifications should be implemented at the first indication of cardiovascular disease, even before any prescription medications. Medications should be utilized on an as-needed basis, but are only effective when they are taken as prescribed and often end up being long-term treatments, despite the fact that most have been developed for short term use. In certain scenarios, pharmaceuticals are absolutely necessary, but we can often see profound benefits from many other forms of treatment. Research continues to show study after study that the initial treatments that have the greatest impact on

cardiovascular health are diet and lifestyle modifications. Not convinced that simple diet and lifestyle modifications can have a huge impact on your heart? Let’s look at the numbers. The impact common cardiovascular medications have on all causes of death are: Beta Blockers 22 per cent, Statins 12 per cent and anti-platelet therapy 13 percent. Let’s compare those numbers to: Exercise 24 per cent, Healthy omega 3 fatty acids 25 per cent and a Mediterranean Dietary Pattern 56 per cent. Whether you already suffer from some form of cardiovascular disease, like high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol, or you just want to keep your heart healthy, start making small changes today. It’s important to limit our risk factors for cardiovascular disease and to implement diet and lifestyle modifications. So what are the best ways to keep your heart healthy? Eat a balanced and nutritious diet consisting of whole foods. Maintain an active lifestyle. Maintain a healthy weight or implement healthy weight loss strategies as appropriate. Manage your stress levels and adapt stress management techniques. Dietary modifications are essential for a healthy heart. There are specific diets formulated for cardiovascular health including the Mediterranean Diet or DASH diet, but there are also small changes you can make to your everyday diet. Ideally we are focusing on a predominantly whole foods diet, meaning that the majority of our foods are still in their natural and unprocessed forms. Limit your sodium intake and minimize the amount of saturated and trans fats you consume. Increase your intake for fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Increase fish consumption to two times per week to get those health omega 3s. Eat more almonds and walnuts; about a handful

per day lowers your cholesterol levels by five to ten percent and consuming them regularly has been associated with reduced risks of CHD by 30-50 percent. Adding 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to your diet daily is able to improve your cholesterol profile. Exercise has huge impacts on our heart health. It strengthens your cardiovascular system and the actual heart muscle itself. It also improves circulation and your body’s ability to utilize oxygen. Exercise also increases endurance, lowers blood pressure, improves muscle tone and strength and helps reduce overall body fat. Aim for about 20-30 minutes per day four to five days per week. Smoking is a huge risk factor for cardiovascular disease and increases your risk of both stroke and coronary heart disease. It increases plaque buildup in arteries which leads to atherosclerosis. This narrowing of the arteries decreases the amount of blood supply able to get to vital organs and tissues throughout the body. Even those who

smoke fewer than five cigarettes a day can have early signs of cardiovascular disease. These damaging effects can also come from second hand smoke. Stress management is also essential to maintain cardiovascular health. Stress causes a cascade of responses in our bodies and poor stress management techniques can lead to chronic health problems. Effects of stress on the heart include increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, elevated levels of cortisol and adrenaline and increased risk of blood clotting. Bottom line to prevent cardiovascular disease: eat well, exercise, manage your stress and have regular cardiovascular check-ups. Love yourself enough to take care of yourself and your heart will love you for it. This article is intended for educational and information purposes only.

Broncos player auction & shootout was big success By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

Despite the Humboldt Broncos’ struggles this season, the community showed their support for their team. After the Humboldt Broncos game on Feb. 12 the team hosted a player auction where fans were encouraged to bid on the Broncos player or coach they felt was going to do the best in their shootout the next night. The goalies are also bid on for save percentage so there are three percentages up for grabs, 0-75%, 76-85% and 86-100% for each of them based on the number of shots they keep out of the net. The Broncos were able to raise roughly $18,000 at their auction, which is approximately $3,000 more than they raised at this event last year. Broncos President Jamie Brockman was really pleased with the support the community showed. “Without the community there’s no team so anytime we have these events, to have the community support like we do is huge for us,” he said. The Broncos then pay out a total of 50% of the proceeds. The first place winner wins 15% for their bidder, second place is worth 10%, third place is worth 5% and each of the two goalies correct save percentage is worth an additional 10%. The shootout occurred after the Broncos game on Feb. 13 against Weyburn. Each player was given two shots, one against each goalie and was required to score one goal to avoid being eliminated. If the player scored they moved onto the next round and the players and coaches kept shooting until only there was a first second and third place finisher. The winner of the event was Head Coach Darcy Haugan, second place went to Daniel McKitrick and third prize went to Broncos captain Logan Schatz.

You could see smiles on their faces, slamming their sticks for each

other, giving them high fives. It’s an opportunity for them to showcase in front of the community in a different and more relaxed environment.” Brockman said he would really like to thank the community for their support this year. “We’re really thrilled for the way it’s turned out this year, it’s awesome,” he said.

Jeff Kunz said it was important for Annaheim to host an event like this to reconnect everyone. “It gets everyone home, some of these guys move away to Alberta or wherever and it just gets them back and we get to visit with them and see what they are up to,� he said. The event was an all day hockey tournament played between four teams with each team playing one another once.

Get over the public speaking jitters just in time for that toast BY BECKY ZIMMER JOURNAL EDITOR For some people, being asked to give a toast at a wedding can plunge them into fits of anxiety. It is all about being prepared. Humboldt Toastmasters President Matt Hillier advises those nervous speakers to make it a heart to heart and know your audience. “You don’t want to say anything that would offend grandma and grandpa in the audience.” Another tip is to keep it short. No one is asking you to give a 20 minute tome of stories about the newlyweds. “Three to five minutes would be plenty of time,” says Hillier. Someone reading off a sheet does not sound as good as someone actually speaking. Make a list of points you want to touch on in your speech; the road trip to California you took with the bride, your first meeting with the groom or volunteering together at the SPCA. Pick a few talking points to avoid verbatim speaking. “You don’t want to be looking down, reading notes. Looking at people is

good, getting their attention, eye contact with everyone, because if you don’t you’ll lose their attention.” Some people even get asked to be the emcee. The job of the emcee is to make everything run smoothly, from picking tables to go up for food to making sure the speakers do not go over on time. The best tip for that, says Hillier, is to talk to the bride and groom about length of time they want and the order of the evening. “You don’t have to do too much in the way of speaking about what’s going on, just keep things on hand.” Make a list of all the things you need to know as the emcee. Know the names of the wedding party, who’s saying grace, parents, grandparents, and anyone else that is of special note. What do the newlyweds want to do about getting the audience to get them to kiss? Get all the information long before the day so you are not scrambling to get everything ready 20 minutes before the reception starts. One good idea that Hillier saw at a wedding was people had to donate

money to a charity of the newlyweds choice to get the bride and groom to kiss. If there is a lectern at the reception, you never want to leave it empty, says Hillier. When introducing a speaker, wait until they get to the podium before sitting down yourself. “You can lose peoples attention if you actually sit down before they get to the

podium,” says Hillier. Also, know what kind of wedding you’re going to be emceeing. If the wedding is more of a formal affair, be careful of the style you bring to the wedding. A more casual wedding, you’re freer with the kind of jokes and stories that you can tell. Beyond that, there is no right or wrong way to emcee a wedding, says Hillier.

Why should I hire a professional photographer? BY NATALIE JENKINS JOURNAL CONTRIBUTOR Weddings are one of the most important events in a couples life and although all aspects of the planning are important, hiring a professional photographer to memorialize that special day is essential. What better way is there to preserve such a momentous occasion in ones life? Richard Jenkins, owner/operator of Reflections by Richard, says that the most important thing a couple can do when hiring a professional photographer is to do their research. Inquire about references and ask to view previous wedding samples as well as other areas of the portfolio to get a feel for the style of the photographer you are looking to hire. Although hiring a professional with experience is one of the more costly elements of the wedding, Jenkins cautions couples about cutting costs in this area by attempting to hire a freelancer. “I’ve heard horror stories,” he says, adding that there is no possible way to redo a wedding day and feel the same emotion created by the nuptials. Freelancers are usually cheaper because they are inexperienced and are trying to get their name out there but the lack of expertise comes at a price and is also something he has seen a couple regretting time and time again. There is more to wedding photography than owning a $600 camera and claiming to be a professional, says Jenkins.

He says one of the biggest questions a couple should ask any photographer, particularly freelancers, is what their backup plan would be if the weather conditions do not permit an outdoor location. In the past Jenkins has heard of situations where photographers came to the wedding hoping for the best conditions and are unprepared for the inclement weather. Jenkins says planning for poor weather is not an issue because he has an indoor studio with several different backgrounds where the session can take place and can accommodate the wedding party and extended families if needed. If a different location is requested he also has equipment that he travels with and

feel comfortable. Couples should also plan a consultation with the photographer where they can go over those important details, like the kind of pictures they are looking for, where they would like their pictures taken and what kind of a backdrop they want, who is going to be in the photos, and how much time there is for photos between the end of the ceremony and the beginning of the dinner. “On the wedding day you only have so much time.” Says Jenkins. Making sure that the whole wedding party is on the same page and understands the type of photos the couple wants can be really beneficial for everyone involved. “Sometimes in a wedding party, the whole group will be really into Photo courtesy of Reflections by Richard it and having fun and doing crazy can easily set up in a hall to make it look things like jumping in the air, but there’s one person that’s a stick in the mud as though he is at the studio. “Even if the sun is shining here in and that can throw everything off,” the morning at nine o’clock, by the says Jenkins. After the wedding, couples can time you go to Saskatoon it could be clouded over and by two o’clock it expect to wait a couple of weeks to view their edited proofs online so could be raining,” he says. Jenkins also recommends booking that they can order their final product. an engagement portrait session with After an order is placed the expected the photographer to see if the style is turnaround time is approximately 6-8 what you expect.

Whose name should it be? BY BECKY ZIMMER JOURNAL EDITOR Krista Prunkl did not have an exactly traditional wedding in 2014. Except for one thing, she took her husband Aaron’s last name. By today’s standards, woman are more open to taking or leaving their husbands’ last name, and for Prunkl, she did discuss with Aaron beforehand on whether she was going to take his name. “You’re almost giving up your identity.” The discussion also would have been different if Prunkl did not have two brothers to carry on her maiden name. She probably would have thought more seriously about it, she says. Also, I love my husband, she laughs. Of course, she was just joking. Prunkl does believe that is up to the bride, and in some cases the groom, to choose whether they want to take, leave, or even hyphenate last names. Although she thinks hyphenation would not have worked for her. It did not always used to be so, especially when Shirley Campbell was getting married to Robert Bandurka in 1978. For Campbell, it was an independence thing, but not in a womens liberation type of mentality. “It’s not about feminism or about being traditional, it is the individual choice and how you feel about it and what you feel as a couple.” Campbell grew up in a time of women being identified as an extension of their husband.

“I used to go to the clinic here and the way of calling patients back to the doctors office was Mrs. Joe Smith or Mrs. John Blow. For me, that was like putting the fingernails down the blackboard.” Asking friends and family about it during that time, she got a variety of responses. “I got everything from, ‘go for it, but I wouldn’t,’ to ‘you’re totally crazy,’ to, ‘whatever, no big deal.’” One person that did not support her decision at the time was her father, again it was a matter of family unity. “His point was, “how do you know if you’re a family, if you don’t all have the same last name?’” Looking back, Campbell says it is a six of one, half a dozen of the other kind of argument. In the end, she was asked the same type of questions, in person and on forms, when it came to name issues and her kids very easily accepted the fact of their mom having a different last name. “Over the course of your lifetime, you are still using your maiden name and your married name.” When it came to children, that was the only stipulation of her keeping her maiden name at the time was that children had to be given the father’s name. That has since changed. If the bride is going to change their name, be prepared to cover all the bases. Bills, leases, licenses all have to be changed. While some are as simple as a phone call, others can cost you money to change.

OUR ALL-NEW BOXING CLASS IS HERE.

BY CHRISTOPHER LEE JOURNAL REPORTER Planning a wedding can be very stressful but a lot of that stress can be alleviated if the weddings take place in another country. When planning and executing a wedding the couple may decide that a destination wedding is for them. A lot of the work is done for them. Thompson Travel Destination Wedding Planner, Brenda Behiel says that all a couple has to do is go into a travel agency that is licensed to do destination weddings and begin planning it with them. The travel agency will be looking for a date, the location and a rough guess as to how many people are going to be going. Behiel suggests speaking to a travel agency approximately eight months prior to the date and the couple should know the number of guests no later than four months prior. The earlier the better, she says so that there is ample time to book all of the required rooms and flights. Once they establish these three most important factors, the travel agency begins working with a resort at the desired destination to set the wedding up. Resorts have wedding planners there who do most of the heavy lifting for the couple. “That’s all they do. They take care of all the stress, it’s stress free. Moms don’t have to cook, parties don’t have to be arranged. It’s just easy for everybody,� Behiel said. There are different plans that couples can order which range from an elaborate wedding with everything taken care of to a much less so. Some of the less elaborate wedding packages will not include a photographer or a very big cake or champagne other than a glass each for the couple. Behiel says destination weddings have been around for quite a long time. Her own wedding took place in Fiji 15 years ago. But Behiel has noticed a real up tick in the number

of destination weddings she has planned in the last ten years and definitely in the last five. “It’s huge. Almost every flight this winter goes with a wedding group.� Behiel says that the common destinations are warm beach resorts including Mexico, Jamaica and Cuba but says she has planned weddings in a variety of different locations including a Romeo and Juliet themed wedding in Italy. Behiel said a big reason she is seeing more and more destination weddings has to do with Canadian winters being long and there not being enough time and facilities to house summer weddings. So people go abroad. There are a number of benefits to having a destination wedding for the couple besides easing the stress. Going away for the wedding can be much cheaper than having a wedding at home, especially considering the rate inflation is increasing, but also because the couple can combine a wedding and a honeymoon. In addition, if the couple has friends or family from out of town they may need to do some entertaining, which could mean cooking and cleaning, whereas if the wedding is in another country all that is done for the couple. Behiel also pointed to cuisine as a benefit saying that at some resorts they serve different cuisine foods on different nights of the week. There are some negatives can be a huge factor for some couples thinking about a destination wedding. For couples with large families, going away might not be the best option since most destination weddings see a lot fewer attendees than home weddings due to a number of factors, including health, finances and vacation time. As technology advances that problem is becoming less and less of an issue. Behiel said she has seen weddings where the couple taped it and brought it back for the family members who missed it. Some people have skyped with the missing family members or even had their wedding live streamed online for their family to see. Behiel admits that since she is a travel planner for destination weddings she is a little more biased towards those, although she does enjoys home weddings as well. For any couples on the fence, it really is a matter of weighing all the reasons why they want a home wedding against all the reasons for a destination wedding and making a decision that is going to make them most happy. “It’s what fits for you and your immediate family because that’s what you have to do is make it work for you,� says Behiel.

Keeping the ring clean and safe BY CHRISTOPHER LEE JOURNAL REPORTER Keeping those wedding rings safe is often a forgotten part of owning one, says Diamonds of Detroit jeweler, Brenda Weiman. Many times, it is about when the rings are on. Following these important steps will also keep the ring from being scratched or damaged. It’s really important to remember to take rings off or keep them off when doing any manual labour or while sleeping, says Weiman. If applying cosmetics, hair sprays or perfumes, she says that the best thing to do is wash hands and then put the ring on. If using any chemicals or cleaners, Weiman recommends taking the ring off and putting it back in the padded box it came in or a container with a soft lining. Painting or doing yard work is another time that the ring should be taken off, says Weiman. Keeping the ring clear of cleaners is about more than just preserving the ring. It will also stop unwanted chemicals from getting under the ring and burning the skin over time. Unlike some things around

the home, there is no real home remedy to fix chips or scratches unless the ring owner owns or knows somebody that owns a ring buffing wheel. Chipped and scratched rings need to either be worn with scratches or chips or it has to be sent back to the jeweler. Weiman says that Diamonds of Detroit can and will buff the ring for customers but if the scratches are deep then they have to be sent to their goldsmith. “He’s got a really good cleaning and buffing machine and they come back like brand new,” she said. Another important aspect of ring care is cleanliness. Weiman says the ring should be wiped down everyday with a polishing cloth to remove skin oil and perspiration and should be cleaned every couple of weeks with a soft bristled toothbrush with either jewelry cleaner or warm soapy water. Another aspect of cleaning is polishing the silver rings, says Weiman. With silver if you do not wear it the metals begin to oxidize and will tarnish over time, says Weiman. “The more you wear it, the less likely it will be to tarnish. It’s just if it sits for long periods

of time not being worn all of a sudden you go to put it on, it’s going to be black.” Polishing silver can be quite tricky so Weiman says that wearing it is the best bet. If it does sit and then need to be polished Weiman says you can either buy a silver cleaner polish or a silver polishing cloth will work as well. Inspecting your ring is extremely important as well, says Weiman, to prevent your stones from falling out. Wei-

man suggests checking the claws and tips for damage or wear. If people are not sure what they are looking for they can always bring their rings into the store. “We do inspections here free all the time so they should just pop by and have everything inspected,” she said. For those who’s ring gets really stuck on their finger but is not too stuck to need to be cut off, Weiman says the best solution is their jewelry cleaner

they call suds. It comes in a jar and the person with the stuck ring just dips their finger in the solution. The ring will slide right off, says Weiman. “It works better than any soap or lotion or oil.” Taking care of wedding rings is a really important habit to get into for everybody because they are quite expensive and the ring is one of the most important symbols or marriage.

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Bowl for Kids Sake was the first Big Brothers Big Sisters fundraiser in Humboldt. And 35 years later it is still going strong. “That’s how it got started by a group of people that believed in mentorship,” says Marketing and Recruitment Director, Stacey Poss. Poss is always pleasantly surprised and humbled by the amount of support the Feb. 8-14 fundraiser received from individuals and organizations all around Humboldt and area. There are even some people who “came out of the wood work” to help out for the first time. “We have some teams and some individuals that participate every year but there are teams that come and teams that go.” Poss says that Discovery Ford blew her away with

raising $4389.50 when she challenged all the dealers in town to fundraise. “They went above and beyond what we were really expecting.” Daniel Hinz with Discovery Ford says they enjoy working hard for the community. “It’s just fun, the group here challenged everyone to go out and get pledges and then go out and collected pledges themselves. We just have fun.” Other teams that impressed Poss was two local Co-ops battling it out over who could fundraise the most. Humboldt Co-op challenged the Lanigan Co-op. It has been a great experience, says Poss. “It’s just really a way for us to get to know the community, spread the word and raise the money.” Numerous schools have also come in to fundraise and join in the Bowl for Kids Sake fun.

it, saying it is so much fun to get the kids involved. “We love having the kids and the cadets. It just adds a different atmosphere.” A day at the alley with the Humboldt Public School was very much a loud affair with cheers coming from every side of the alley. Poss laughs that the adults who were bowling the night before were just as cheerful. “It doesn’t matter what age you are, bowling is lots of fun.” (Ken and Eric) at Kemway have been with Big Brothers Big Sisters since the beginning, says Poss. Poss and her partner, Amy Hogemann also had gotten feedback from people interested in their mentoring or big brother and sister programs. Both Poss and Hogemanns’ jobs are very important for Big Brothers and Big Sisters and all funds raised from Bowl for Kids Sake stay in Humboldt to support their work, including Poss’s marketing and recruitment and Hogemann’s training and casework. Big Brothers and Big Sisters also does programs with the kids every month to bring all the bigs and littles together. Poss says they appreciate the support. Because there are so many fundraisers in town, she is humbled by the success of this years event. “People continue to come out and support our organization and what we do in the community. We’re just thankful to be apart of Humboldt.”

Playoffs just around the corner in Horizon Continued from page 19 St. Brieux came into the week needing some help as they needed to win their game on Feb. 8 in Annaheim and needed Middle Lake to upset Lake Lenore. St. Brieux did their part winning a nail biter 50-46. For Lake Lenore, the math was simple as a win in Middle Lake on Feb. 8 would assure them of first place and home court advantage for the division championship against St. Brieux. The game was Lake Lenore’s closest of the season, besides their loss to St. Brieux but the emerged victorious and claimed first place with a 49-44 win. The North West Division was the busiest this week with three games. St. Augustine played two of the three games and needed to win both to secure first place and home court advantage in the finals. Their first game came on Feb. 8 in Viscount. St. Augustine’s defense showed up big time limiting Viscount to nine points during a 48-9 win to setup a regular season finale against Humboldt Public. Also on Feb. 8, St. Dominic traveled to Cudworth. The two teams combined for the lowest combined point total of any game this season scoring a combined 18 points during St. Dominic’s 14-4 win.

The North West Division’s regular season finale occurred on Feb. 11 as St. Augustine visited Humboldt Public in a winner take all first place showdown. The game was very close but it was hometown Humboldt Public who pulled out a narrow 30-25 win. Senior Boys The senior boys division had three games this week with Punnichy being busy playing in two of them. Their first game came on Feb. 9 when they hosted Kawacatoose. Fresh off their first win of the season, Punnichy was looking to keep that momentum rolling but it was not going to be easy as Kawacatoose came into the contest looking to pull into a first place tie with idol Watrous, who still have one game left to play. Kawacatoose came into the contest with the South Division’s second worst defense but they stifled Punnichy who managed a measly 18 points during the 58-18 Kawacatoose win. Punnichy returned to action Feb. 10 when they hosted Viscount. Viscount held Punnichy to the same number of points, 18, that Kawacatoose did the day before during their 38-18 win. In the North Division, undefeated Humboldt looked to keep their perfect record intact and put the finishing touches on their first place finish when

they traveled to winless Watson on Feb. 9. It was a matchup of Humboldt’s division best offense against Watson’s division worst offense and defense. The stats proved to be true as Humboldt ran away with a very easy 78-25 win. Senior Girls The senior girls had a pair of games this week. In Middle Lake, it was the back half of the supper and basketball game between Foam Lake and Middle Lake. The first game took place in Foam Lake in early January with the game on Feb. 10 being the return matchup. In the end it was Middle Lake who took the contest 67-38 over Foam Lake but the game served only as some friendly competition before the teams enjoyed eating dinner with each other so they could learn how to be competitive on the court and friendly off of it. The other senior girls contest this week featured St. Brieux traveling to Lake Lenore. Lake Lenore took advantage of their home fans as they blasted St. Brieux 67-30. Next week is a week off for teams before the playoffs take place the week after. Check next week’s Humboldt Journal and East Central Trader for a preview of the playoffs.

Snow flies for local snowmobile rallies By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

The snowmobile rally season continued on Feb. 13 as Middle Lake and Birch Hills hosted their own rallies. Middle Lake The Middle Lake Lions Club hosted the rally as one of their biggest fundraisers throughout the year with proceeds going towards the Middle Lake Multiplex. Despite the cold weather the Middle Lake rally was able to attract nearly 100 snowmobiles for their 50 mile route that ran north of Middle Lake across both Basin Lake and Rhona Lake and back into Middle Lake. After a couple weeks of tough snow conditions the rally was blessed with light snow turning to heavy snow as the day wore on. Middle Lake Lions Club Chair Ken Herman said that the snow was great because it made the trails a little nicer to ride on. “The further north we went the better the snow got and lots of guys that want to ride, they’re looking for good snow,” he said. Herman also said he wished that they had have known about the incoming snow and the improving trail conditions ahead of time so that more people could have come to enjoy the trails, but he said it was still an excellent day. The event raised approximately $6,000 for the multiplex thanks to the sales from poker hands, raffle tickets and lunch, as well as through sales made at their afternoon bar. The raffle prizes came from all over the area with companies from Humboldt, Aberdeen, Saskatoon, Prince Albert and Melfort among others graciously donating to their rally. Herman also said local citizens donated soup and pies to the event as well. Herman could not thank both the companies and the citizens enough for their support through donations and said he would also like to thank the volunteers for all their hard work in the organization and execution of the event. Birch Hills The Birch Hills Sno-Posse Snowmobile Club hosted a rally of their own with proceeds going towards the club and towards the community. Some of the money is going to be used to make improvements on their cabins on the trail while other portions of the money raised will be donated to some causes in the community, which the club has not decided on yet. Sno-Posse President Sheldon Gordon said it was important to donate some of the money back into the community because of how big their rally was. He called their fundraiser is one of the biggest fundraisers in Birch Hills so helping out the community was a part of that fundraiser. The rally was able to attract approximately 130 riders for their 46-mile trail that traveled north of Birch Hills along the South Saskatchewan River and then circled back into town. Gordon said that the number of riders was down a little from two years ago, last years was cancelled due to a lack of snow, but said they were still happy with the turnout. The snow was flying in Birch Hills during the rally, which Gordon said “sure helped” attract riders to the event. Continued on page 21 20 ECT Friday, February 19, 2016

Snow flies for local snowmobile rallies Continued from page 20 Gordon figured that the numbers may have been down a little because people were afraid that the trails would not be good enough. The people that did go out were plenty surprised once they went out on the trail, he said. “The snow wasn’t as bad as everybody thought once they got out and rode the trail.” The event did really well for the club thanks to a 50/50 draw, a raffle, food sales and the poker hands

with a pay out in $1,700 in prizes. The winners of the poker hands for the riders were, Travis Craik from Melfort who took home the first place prize of $420, the second place prize of $252 went to Brad Owen from Prince Albert and Birch Hills resident Matthew Evans won the $168 third place prize. The 50/50 draw was the big money prize of the event as Angie Bear took home $625. There were also prizes handed out to people who came out to buy hands but did not go riding. First prize went to St. Louis resident Roger Begrand who

took home $110, Ashley Farrham of Prince Albert won the $66 second place prize and third prize went to Larry Evans for $44. The raffle prizes came from local communities including Birch Hills, Melfort and Prince Albert. Gordon said that since Birch Hills is not a very big community it is extremely important for them to be able to rely on local communities to help them out too. “If we didn’t have the people donating from Prince Albert and Melfort we wouldn’t have too much being donated,” he said. 16023CCA

Tory caucus chair getting used to opposition role By Devan C. Tasa Tisdale Report and Parkland Review Editor

The Conservatives’ Saskatchewan Caucus chair is getting used to working in opposition after last year’s federal election put the Liberals in power. Randy Hoback said that election was the biggest event in 2015. He said before the change, there was a government that was going into a balanced budget facing a fragile economy. Since Justin Trudeau got into power, the Canadian dollar has dropped and the economy is slowing, especially in Alberta and parts of Saskatchewan. “It just goes to show what happens when you put in somebody who’s inexperienced and doesn’t understand how the economy runs, what can happen when you put somebody like that in charge of the economy,” Hoback said. Hoback was elected caucus chair by his peer – a first thanks to Michael Chong’s Reform Act The MP has also been elected as the caucus chair for Conservative Saskatchewan MPs. “That has me very involved with all of the ridings across Saskatchewan – all 14 – working with all our MPs, making sure we’re communicating properly to the media right across Saskatchewan, making sure we’ve

got a full slate of candidates right to go four years from now,” he said. “Plus we got a leadership [race] undergoing, so I’ll be actively involved in that also.” The leadership race will be held May 27, 2017, with an unofficial launch date for the campaigning starting at the party’s convention in Vancouver in May. Hoback said that securing funding for infrastructure projects like a new water treatment plant in Nipawin and new water mains in Tisdale and Melfort are a priority. “The Trudeau government has said they’re going to spend a lot of money in infrastructure, so I want to make sure that our communities get their fair share of those dollars for those [projects] that we require,” he said. He’s also concerned about the Liberals’ plan to change the electoral system, saying that it’s unethical to make such a fundamental change without a referendum. “It looks to me that they’re trying to ram something through without giving constituents a chance to vote on the system they want,” he said. “I have no problem looking at the voting system and looking at alternates, providing that voters are consulted, included in the process and have a final say through a vote.” There’s supposed to be an all-party committee that will discuss that issue,

Tasa but that’s something the government hasn’t organized yet. Hoback also said he’s concerned about broken promises from the new Liberal government, like not bringing in 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of 2015 and a possible $30 billion deficit instead of $10 billion. There are also a lot of other issues the new govern-

ment will be facing, like marijuana legalization and a change to euthanasia laws required by a Supreme Court ruling. The MP had a suggestion for Trudeau. “I’d suggest he’d phone Harper, because Harper could tell him how to stickhandle through.”

Students: File your taxes and put money back in your pocket (NC) Post-secondary school can be overwhelming. While coffee may seem like the solution to any problem, putting a little money back in your pocket with tax savings might be the better answer. Even if you have no income to report, you can still take advantage of several credits and benefits. Here are a few tips to help you: File your tax return To take advantage of all of the tax credits and benefits available, you have to file your income tax and benefit return with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Why not file it online?

It’s fast, easy, and secure. There’s also a wide range of software programs you can use, including some that are free. More information is available at www.cra.gc.ca/getready. You can also register for My Account, the CRA’s secure one-stop shop for managing your tax and benefit information. With My Account, you can also register for online mail, and receive correspondence like your notice of assessment online. Claim your tax credits • Tuition fees – Most tuition paid to a post-secondary institution in Canada can be claimed. For tuition

fees, the education amount, and the textbook amount, you might also be able to transfer or carry forward any unused credits. • Education amount – For the 2015 tax-filing season you can claim $400 for each month you were enrolled in eligible full-time studies and $120 for each month you were enrolled in eligible part-time studies. • Textbook amount – If you’re eligible for the education amount for 2015, you can claim this, too: $65 for each month enrolled in full-time studies and $20 for each month enrolled in part-time studies.

• Public transit amount – Generally speaking, you can claim the amount you spent on a monthly or annual public transit pass, but not on tickets or daily passes. • GST/HST credit – You can get payments of up to $70 every three months to help keep on top of your expenses. To receive the GST/HST credit, you have to be 19 years old (unless you’re a parent or married or living common-law) and file an income tax and benefit return. More information for students is available at www.cra.gc.ca/students. www.newscanada.com

CRA PROJECT: Small Business Deduction The accounting community across Canada has recently noted a series of correspondence from CRA requesting details of corporate businesses operations in connection with a review of the small business deduction claim for some clients. If a business is determined to be a Personal SerYLFHV %XVLQHVV 36% RU D 6SHFL¿ HG Investment Business (SIB), the small business deduction is denied, and additional taxes are applied. A PSB is often referred to as an “incorporated employee”. Basically, it exists where an individual provides employee-like services through a closely held corporation,

NEW – HOME ACCESSIBILITY TAX CREDIT: Renovations that Pay Off!

rather than providing them directly as an employee. Generally, a corporation earning investment income (interest, real estate rental, royalties, capital gains and dividends) is generating SIB income. Many of these letters appear directed to corporations in the real estate sector like real estate agents and those earning rental income. It has also been noted that letters have begun to be issued in respect of other sectors as well. In many situations, an appropriate explanation will conclude CRA’s interest in the corporation. If such a CRA inquiry is received, contact us as soon as possible.

This new non-refundable credit will provide federal tax relief of 15% on up to $10,000 of eligible expenditures per calendar year, per qualifying individual (a person 65 years of age or older at the end of the particular taxation year or a person eligible for the Disability Tax Credit). If there is more than one eligible individual in a residence, the maximum eligible expenditure for that property will be $10,000. A qualifying renovation is a renovation or alteration that is of an enduring nature and is integral to the eligible dwelling. The renova-

tion must: - allow the qualifying individual to gain access to, or to be mobile or functional within, the eligible dwelling; or - reduce the risk of harm to the qualifying individual within the eligible dwelling or in gaining access to the dwelling. The credit is eligible for expenditures after 2015. This credit may be compounded with the similar provincial credits offered in BC, Ontario, and New Brunswick. As the $10,000 limit is annual, consider improving the house in stages over a number of years.

Protecting and managing your assets BY BECKY ZIMMER JOURNAL EDITOR

Accidents do happen. And protecting your assets from a loss could make a difficult situation much easier. Derra Froess with Western Financial Group in LeRoy says losing something, like a house and their belongings or an important piece of jewelry, can be one of the most devastating things a person can go through. She sees a lot of people refraining from buying insurance for their house or car because they do not think it could happen to them. This is a big mistake, says Froess. The phrase, ‘it won’t happen to me, I’ll take my chances’ is a common mistake. “If it’s something of value, once it’s gone, it’s gone. And if you don’t have insurance on it, then you’re either paying for something you no longer have, or you’re just not getting that back.� Not insuring to the proper value is also a big mistake, says Froess, one that you can be penalized for later. “If you build a house, it’s important to insure it to what it would cost to fully replace it. That’s including labour and materials.�

Western Financial Group has evaluators in the office to provide this service. If it is valuable, or it is something that could hurt you financially if lost, it is something that you should be insuring, says Froess. New changes can bring about new reasons to obtain insurance. For first time car buyers, aside from the license plate, extended automotive insurance not only covers against damage to the vehicle, but also covers any personal injury that you could sustain as a victim of another’s negligence, or that others could sustain in the event of your negligence, says Froess. “That liability coverage will extend to cover expenses resulting from injuries that you have caused to someone else.� If you cause someone permanent disability, liability insurance will cover lost wages or health costs that they would incur from the accident. Buying a new home is also a big life step that needs insurance. As well as taking into consideration the value of your house, you should also document all the belongings in your home as those are a separate

value on your policy. Depending on factors like square footage and assets in the home insurance can vary in price. As well as the big assets, like car and home, Western Financial Group also has a financial services representative that can discuss mortgage, health, life, and disability insurance. Froess says that they can always provide you a no obligation quote when it comes to insuring all of your life’s treasures. “With the series of questions that we ask you, we will ensure all of your needs are met.� When it comes to car insurance, usually it can go as low as $15 a month to provide you with that liability insurance as well as lower collision and comprehensive deductibles. When it comes to the different types of insurance, Western Financial Group has a staff of insurance and financial advisors who can assist you in quoting business, home, agro, recreational vehicle, and car insurance, as well as RRSPs, TSFAs and GICs. “We can also insure special risks such as hog barns,� says Froess.
