EAST CENTRAL — All of the local Saskatchewan Party candidates easily won their seats in the provincial election. Fred Bradshaw of Carrot River Valley got 75 per cent of the vote counted so far, Donna Harpauer of Humboldt-Watrous got 73 per cent, Todd Goudy of Melfort got 73 per cent, Hugh Nerlien of Kelvington-Wadena got 69 per cent and Delbert Kirsch of Batoche got 66 per cent. As of late on Oct. 26, the Sask. Party had won 50 of 61 seats. It was a gain of four seats for the Saskatchewan Party, led by Scott Moe. The New Democratic Party, led by Ryan Meili, won 11 seats, a decline of two. Bradshaw said he felt “relieved” after winning. “When you put your name forward you always have doubts, it’s never a

ent all the way through,” Bradshaw said. “We only had 12 people so everyone could stay apart During the election, he stated that if reelected he would follow the Saskatchewan Party’s 10-year plan to move the province forward, with a specific focus on businesses and the budget. “It’s been an honour and a privilege to serve this constituency in the past and I hope I can do a good job here in the next four years.” Donna Harpauer was pleased to be reelected to represent Humboldt-Watrous. “Each and every time, it’s always so exciting, but it’s also humbling to have that trust,” she said on Oct. 26. “I am going to work very, very hard for the constituents for the next four years.” Harpauer defeated Wendy Sekulich of the NDP, Constance Maffenbeier of the Buffalo Party, Rose Buscholl of the Progressive Conservatives and Jim Ternier of the Greens. Harpauer said her party was asking Saskatchewan residents who they trusted to lead the post-COVID-19 economic recovery. “I think that Saskatchewan residents are telling us that they do trust us, so we have a task ahead of us and we have a responsibility. We will work very, very hard for not only our economic recovery, but for growth going forward as well.” How big of a majority the Sask. Party will be working with is yet to be determined. At the time of writing, many of the seats in Saskatoon and Regina were close races between the Saskatchewan Party and the New Democrats – close enough to be affected by mail-in ballots, which will start to be counted two days after the election. “There’s a few nail biting seats out there, yes, there are, that haven’t been just decided. I’ll be watching closely,”

Harpauer said. One of the close seats is Saskatoon Meewasin, occupied by NDP leader Ryan Meili. With 50 of 50 polls reporting in Saskatoon Meewasin, he was behind the Saskatchewan Party’s Rylund Hunter by 83 votes. However, that could change in the coming days, as there were 1,656 vote by mail ballots issued by Elections Saskatchewan for Saskatoon Meewasin. Due to the pandemic, votes by mail received by 8 p.m. on election day will be counted by Elections Saskatchewan will count on Oct. 28, instead of on the date of the final count. Even then, the final result may not be known until the final election count, Nov. 7, 12 days after the election. That’s because votes received in the mail from Oct. 27 to Nov. 5 won’t be counted until the final count. Additionally, some voters may have chosen to vote in person instead of by mail, or have chosen not to vote at all, so how many of those vote by mail ballots issued are actually in play is an open question. Usually not an important factor, the COVID-19 pandemic led to an extraordinary increase in both requests for mail-in ballots and participation in advanced polls. Advance voting was up substantially compared to 2016, with 185,061 votes cast this year compared to 110,716 cast four years ago. Those vote by mail ballots could be the deciding factor in several races. There were 61,412 vote by mail ballot kits sent out by Elections Saskatchewan, a record number by a factor of more than 13. Most of the seats in the closest races had substantial numbers of vote by mail ballots issued – ranging from 568 to 2,674, easily enough to sway the final numbers. Meili’s seat wasn’t the only race which could be impacted by the extraordinarily high number of mail-in ballots. Saskatoon University had the NDP’s

SAVE UP TO

Jennifer Bowes leading the Sask. Party’s Eric Olausen by 105 votes, with 1,296 vote by mail ballots issued. Saskatoon Eastview saw NDP candidate Matt Love ahead of Sask. Party candidate Chris Guérette by 102. That riding had 1,555 vote by mail ballots issued. An upset came in Saskatoon Riversdale, where the Sask. Party’s Marv Friesen beat the NDP’s Ashlee Hicks by 274 votes. Saskatoon Riversdale has long been an NDP stronghold, represented by past NDP Premiers Roy Romanow and Lorne Calvert. But that riding also had 920 vote by mail ballots issued.

Green map The map was awash with Sask. Party green across all of rural Saskatchewan save the two northern seats of Athabasca and Cumberland. Other than the north, only the more central and western portions of both Saskatoon and Regina went NDP orange. While there were six parties running and three independents, it was really a two-party race. As of midnight on election night with 99.88 per cent of ballot boxes reporting, the Saskatchewan Party improved its share of the popular vote by 0.6 per cent, from 62.4 per cent in 2016, to 63 per cent. The NDP’s share of the popular vote declined, from 30.2 per cent in 2016, to 29 per cent. That makes the third time the Sask. Party had received over 60 per cent of the vote. The brand-new Buffalo Party of Saskatchewan outdid all other minor parties, scoring 11,050 votes for a 2.9 per cent share. That was accomplished with just 17 candidates running. They beat out the Saskatchewan Green Party, which ﬁelded 60 candidates but only gained 9,091 votes, or 2.4 per cent. The Progressive Conservatives had 31 candidates, and garnered 7,935 votes, or 2 per cent. The Liberals, with just three candidates, received 338 votes, or 0.09 per cent.

CIVIC ELECTION

Highlights from the Melfort civic all-candidates forum Becky Zimmer

LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER, BATTLEFORDS NEWS-OPTIMIST

MELFORT — Candidates for Melfort council safely gathered together at the Kerry Vickar Centre to discuss the burning questions during the Melfort Trade Alliance’s all-candidates forum. Candidates were given an allotted time to read prepared opening statements and then were asked questions that were sent in from residents of Melfort. Candidates were given the questions beforehand to research and prepare their answers. The event was closed to the public but was available on a live feed via YouTube. To view the forum in its entirety, visit https://bit. ly/3mdIZRg. Here are some highlights from the candidates: Question 1: With the current COVID-19 situation, what are your plans for property taxes in our city? Other places are offering a two-year freeze on increases? Can we expect the same here? Wade Rogers: “It’s time for the council to start thinking a little bit differently. The reality is that people are going to be going through tough times in the next couple of years... It’s time I think for the council to say we’re going to spend within our means, we’re going to ﬁnd cuts where we can ﬁnd them.” Question 2: Our property taxes are already high compared to communities our size. What are your plans for increases in the near future? Glenn George: “We’ve been working really hard to keep our tax increases down and we’ve come from being the second-highest

taxed city in Saskatchewan to the seventh highest. So we’re working on that every year. I think we will continue to work on that and I think we will continue to come down.” Question 3: Considering there is such a large water loss problem in the city, wouldn’t it be less expensive in the long run to get the infrastructure ﬁxed and pay for it over time, instead of the current method of patching and small replay repairs? Is this what is contributing to our high water costs? Rick Lang: “The approximate infrastructure deﬁcit with respect to water lines, etc, is about $25 million dollars currently, and we don’t even have access to $25 million. So that’s really not an option. It also costs about $300,000 a year to do or about $300,000 to replace one city block, but water mines in its entirety.”

Question 4: What is your plan to help address the theft and vandalism problems that we’re experiencing in Melfort? Tim Hoenmans: “If we need to sit down with the RCMP detachment [and] ask them to focus on prioritizing the enforcement of a curfew and or loitering bylaw, that may be a little tough love will get things back to good. COVID has made it difﬁcult with public health restrictions to offer programming for our youth to keep busy. But that would be the ideal remedy.” Question 5: What is your plan for the public library? It’s a city-owned facility but doesn’t seem to be included in any future planning discussions. April Phillips: “We’re doing a study right now to see the life expectancy of [the library] building. We need to address it in this

budget. We know that it’s not going to happen overnight, whether it’s a fiveyear plan or a 10-year plan. No matter what we have to start now.” Question 6: How will you address the fact that senior management positions for the city do not require the candidates to live within Melfort? Cam Lee: “It stands to reason the person or persons spend a lot of time and wage at local businesses. So even if they weren’t paying property taxes necessarily in Melfort, they’re still contributing to the city financially, as well with their hard work at city hall.” Question 7: Are there many RMs that contribute to the operation of the airport? If so, how much do they contribute? If not, why? They all benefit from services such as spray planes and air ambulances. Brian Enge: “I feel it

would be fair to have some RMs’ input and possible funding as their residents have a need for it as well. Working together with our reeves and councillors would be a right way to start.” Question 8: What are your plans for park maintenance and the development of future parks throughout our city? Don J. Signori: “I’m proud of Melfort’s parks and I think the city’s doing a fantastic job maintaining them...Other service clubs have done a fantastic job, Kinsmen are doing another one in Melfort Heights and I’m just really proud of what’s going on.” Question 9: With the new skate park open there’s an increase in trafﬁc or Crawford Avenue East, could you offer more safety options to that area? Trent Mitchell: “We were providing written rec-

ommendations [through a trafﬁc study] and we took those into account...I think there’s always going to be safety concerns, and we appreciate the community bringing those forward to us so that we can address them and at least investigate them.” Question 10: How do you plan to have city projects better planned and executed to save time and money? Main Street was closed for too long to be reasonable in 2019 and 2020. Doug Terry: “We put indications in those tenders is what we’re expecting. And we don’t go out intentionally to disrupt residents. And usually, we try and have a plan in those tenders to minimize disruption. The situation that occurred this past year on Main Street was unfortunate but that particular contractor ran into some issues.” Question 11: How do you plan to support local businesses with city required work and supplies? Are jobs offered for tender to all local businesses? Tara Muntain: “It’s important that we understand that it’s not one person that is picking and choosing what things are happening. The city puts these tenders out, you need to apply for it, you need to make sure that you are putting the most competitive bid in to get that job.” Question 12: What will you do to entice businesses to stay within our city or attract new business to come to Belfort? Darryl Benson: “I think a study should be done on what businesses might be a good ﬁt in Melfort. Something we don’t have now. Then [we] try and entice the somebody, a group or whatever, to start the businesses that we don’t have.”

HUDSON BAY TOWN HALL

Tourism funding used for Hudson Bay-centred website content Becky Zimmer LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER, BATTLEFORDS NEWS-OPTIMIST

HUDSON BAY — Creating digital content is going to be an important part of Hudson Bay’s new marketing campaign, especially with approved grant money from Tourism Saskatchewan helping with

the creation of this new content. Jeanine Holowatuik, the town’s community development director, said diversifying their focus was a big part of the project. Instead of focusing on winter activities, which has been the focus of previous campaigns, Lost Girls Guide to Travelling the World blogger, Ashlyn George, was brought in on the project

to provide the focus for fall activities, especially outdoor experiences. “We were pretty much focused on the naturebased aspect of it; the beauty of nature, as well as the other things that you can do in the community during this time, such as the walking trails and visiting local businesses,” Holowatuik said. Originally from Leslie,

Sask., a village of 15 people between Foam Lake and Elfros, George has made a name for herself as a travel blogger travelling to over 60 countries in the past 10 years following her convocation from university. Being from the province, George enjoys bringing Saskatchewan and its many outdoor travel destinations into focus. While proﬁling Hudson

Bay, George wanted to shine a light on the beauty of the larches in the area as well as the local businesses that she got to visit on her trip. “They’re a really unique tree in that they actually lose their needles. They’re conifers but they lose their needles and before they do that, they turn a golden yellow. So they’re just really cool trees.”

George has been to Hudson Bay four or ﬁve times already, she said, but there has always been something new to do there. George was the Saskatchewanderer in 2015 and has been a full-time blogger since 2016. Hudson Bay council was updated on the marketing project and George’s involvement during the last council meeting on Oct. 13.

Wanted: a stronger opposition The election is over and the pattern that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing over and over again in the elections that have taken place during the pandemic has repeated itself here as well: the incumbent party has won again. At the time of writing, the Saskatchewan Party is leading in 50 seats, while the New Democrats are leading in 11. Mail-in ballots are still to be counted and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some close races in Regina and Saskatchewan that could change hands, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see what we have at the end of the day. Even so, this election has highlighted yet again the weakness of the NDP. They had no chance in any of the rural seats with the exception of the two in the far north. Their traditional strongholds in the cities are becoming possible Sask. Party wins. Heck, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know if their leader has a seat anymore. All of this is a shame to me because I believe that government performs at its best when it is dealing with the mortal possibility of

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s View Devan C. Tasa being removed if they pull too many mistakes. Until the NDP is able to break out of its urban base and start to win in the suburbs and larger towns, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no chance the Sask. Party will be defeated. On the other side of the spectrum, we have the brand new Buffalo Party in a distant third, beating the other minor parties like the Progressive Conservatives and the Greens. The Greens had 60 candidates and got 8,918 votes province-wide. The PCs had 31 candidates and 7,799 votes. The Buffalo Party only had 17 candidates, but got 11,014. (If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wondering about the Liberals, their three candidates got 324 votes province-

wide. Stick a fork in it. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done.) Does the rise of the Buffalo Party show that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interest in separation and/or more autonomy for Saskatchewan? Does it show a simmering frustration with the federal government and/or the Sask. Party? Does it show that having fewer, more organized candidates will get more results than paper candidates? More importantly to me, could the Buffalo Party be the nucleus of a newly forming, stronger opposition? Time will tell, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say the NDP, which still got almost 10 times more votes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 108,086 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; province-wide, has a lot less work to become a government-threatening opposition than the Buffalo Party. Congratulations to the Saskatchewan Party on their big win. The task that falls on them now is to govern well for all of us. If they do not, well, maybe one of these opposition parties will become an actual threat.

Good harvest doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alleviate shipping concerns Canadian grain farmers can have a smooth year in terms of production â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this fall went generally well for producers thanks to relatively good weather â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so it should be a relaxing time for producers as combines are shedded. But that is rarely the case for grain farmers. There are simply so many pitfalls that can open overnight to cause issues. While one can understand the uncertainties of Mother Nature introducing production obstacles ranging from bugs to disease to frost to too much rain, or too little, those uncertainties continue once the grain is safely in the bin. One of the ongoing concerns Prairie producers have is getting their production to international buyers. In recent years there have been issues in terms of simply getting railcars when required. It got to the point that a new law was passed in 2018, requiring Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major rail companies to publish winter plans and can be forced to pay up if they fail to deliver on certain promises of rail cars. That such a law was needed reďŹ&#x201A;ects the fact

Views on Agriculture Calvin Daniels that grain delivery is frankly pretty low down in terms of pecking order when it comes to the allocation of railcars, without some strict regulations in place. Oil and potash and other commodities just make better sense for rail companies. So maybe moving forward the railcar allocation will be better maintained. But, as one pothole on the road of grain delivery is hopefully ďŹ lled in, another appears on the horizon. If grain is not exactly a preferred commodity for rail companies to haul, it may not be the most lucrative product to be taking up port space either. The area to build export ports is of course ďŹ nite, and while the grain facilities are in place,

they have to pay rates competitive with what other facilities do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which can be handling higher value products. In a recent Western Producer article, Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the Western Grain Elevators Association, said rent on federal property at the Port of Vancouver went up 13 to 30 per cent this year. Those are signiďŹ cant increases, and in the end producers will be paying it in some fashion. It will not be a direct bill, but increased costs in the system will ultimately be reďŹ&#x201A;ected in what farmers are paid for their grain. Farmers are very much captives of the systems with very limited options. Grain companies have generally carved up the Prairie map with less and less service overlap, limiting delivery options. The country has been basically split between the two rail companies. There are limited port accesses, east and west. And so a good harvest or not, farmers have worries to face still.

PART 2

17 running for Humboldt council Becky Zimmer LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER, BATTLEFORDS NEWS-OPTIMIST

HUMBOLDT — In Humboldt, 14 candidates are running for six councillor seats, while three are running for mayor. Part 1 of the candidate profiles was printed in the Oct. 15 edition of the East Central Recorder. They include Tawnie Johnson, Amanada Klitch, Darcy Leonew, Roger Nordick, David Rowe and Caitlyn Senko.

MAYOR

MICHAEL BEHIEL A city councillor is making a bid for the mayor’s chair in the upcoming civic elections. Michael Behiel has announced that he will be running for the top spot in the Monday, Nov 9. election. The decision came after discussions with Mayor Rob Muench about his intentions not to run for mayor again. Behiel said the city needs a leader with council experience to shepherd the next council and keep long term projects moving forward. “I’m very proud of the steps that the city council and administration have taken in the last four years to make this city a great place, and I want to see those works continue.” Behiel grew up in Humboldt and always considered it the best place to live. Even after he moved away for a

time, he always said he wanted to move back to Humboldt when he retired. He wants everybody to feel pride in their community, and that starts with the teamwork of the council, staff, and the residents. “This is everybody’s city and I want to make sure that everybody continues to be able to respect it, have a say in it, and appreciate the work that’s being done.” Behiel was elected in 2016 to the city council and owns and operates Behiel Tax and Accounting from his main street office. He wanted to be part of the solutions, he said, because there are always problems that need solving or direction and he urges everyone to put their names on the ballots. The candidate said council needs a crosssection that properly represents the community, and that takes people from all different demographics who have integrity stepping up and putting their names on the ballot.

HARLEY BENTLEY Following the last municipal election, Harley Bentley said he could feel the support he got from the residents of Humboldt. There are people who want him to be mayor, he said, so he will continue to show his dedication to Humboldt by running again for the coveted seat. With so many former councillors leaving the

council table, there is going to be a wealth of ideas coming for the future with many new names on the ballot, he said. While they need to continue the work that has already been done, Bentley said he is excited for the new things coming from this upcoming council. “There’s going to be a lot of new ideas come up on the table. I look forward to working with new councillors and getting some other things on the agenda.” Among these new ideas are some safety issues that have been on Bentley’s mind for a while, he said. “Seeing the developments that have happened and ones that have been pushed aside, there’s a lot of new things that need to be brought to the table. That’s my main concern.” Bentley has been a resident of Humboldt for the last 25 years, he said, and he feels he knows where Humboldt has come from and where it is going.

LORNE PRATCHLER A city councillor is running for mayor because he wants to continue the work done by council over the last four years. Lorne Pratchler said it has been a good four years of strong leadership at the Humboldt city council table Muench has set a strong example for the incoming mayor, he said, which is a standard Pratchler would follow if

he was elected as mayor. “I look very highly upon Mayor Muench’s time as mayor. There are attributes that a mayor needs to possess in order to move a city: he was a good listener, he was predictable, he was comfortable. We take those characteristics of his and we can continue moving that into all aspects of leadership in our city.” Pratchler was first elected to council during the 2016 election and is proud of the work that has been done by city council and staff. The downtown study from 2017 is still in use today, Pratchler said, and he is happy to see the city taking the study to heart. Being a part of a strong council being backed by excellent administration, Pratchler said he still wants to be a part of that, especially with some major projects still coming down the pipes, including the lagoon upgrades which is waiting on federal funding. Pratchler sees a lot of pride that goes into the work of city directors and their ability to hire great staff. The co-operation between city departments is great to see, he said, especially when they are all working towards the common goal of making Humboldt a better place. “That’s the thing that gets me motivated every day is to work within that team.”

COUNCILLOR

MICHAELA FETTER Michaela Fetter said

she believes her experience as a safety and human resource professional will be an asset to the city council. Growing up in Watson, Fetter said they always tried to shop locally in her home community, but Humboldt was never far away. Humboldt is a desirable place for the whole area to come to shop and for entertainment, she said, and she wants to work to keep it that way. Rob Muench has done an outstanding job as mayor over the past four years, she said, and she wants to continue that work with a fresh perspective and a professional approach, including strengthening Humboldt’s economy and supporting local business. “I want to continue to focus on infrastructure replacement, focus on momentum and progress, strive to have vacant commercial properties full... I’d also like to come up with effective solutions to help businesses, especially small businesses, overcome the effects of COVID. That’s a new kind of thing that’s been added to the council table.” Having a diverse council is important in Humboldt, Fetter said, so seeing all the young people and women running has been great to see. “I feel like our council should have more of a diverse background. I feel like if you have that different opinions and perspectives, [life from] younger generations and as well as women, it’s easier to see progress and get things done.” Fetter will be using social media to campaign for her council seat, and will always be open to people bringing their concerns forward.

KELLY HERPERGER While some people agonize over their decision to run for city council, for Kelly Herperger it was an obvious choice. Being the daughter of former mayor Mark Seidel – who is also excited to see her run for council – Herperger spent a lot of time in the council chambers as a child and now is taking the opportunity to put her name on the ballot. “I always wanted to try this field, and I thought this would be a good opportunity for me to do it.” The members of the current city council have been taking it in the right direction, she said, and she wants to help continue to make that happen. “We have some great people running [for council] and we’ve had a great council in the past. [I want to] keep the ball rolling and go forward and just keep promoting Humboldt.” However, there are other city issues that need to be addressed, she said, including how best to promote the city. There isn’t a centralized place to check for restaurants or events in the city, like Saskatoon or Calgary already has, and Humboldt could use that, she says. There isn’t even a place to get a Humboldt t-shirt, she said. While Herperger has recently backed away from volunteering, she has loved working with the Futuristic Industries board and the Humboldt Broncos. SEE PROFILES PAGE 6

Long time Humboldt resident Philip Hinz has put his name on the city council ballot because Humboldt needs good people on council, he said. Going into the next council term, he wants to see good ﬁnancial management and control on spending but he also likes what he is seeing with recreational goals the city continues to work on, like the north park plans and the work at Centennial Park and the Uniplex. These facilities are important for young people, he said. Hinz has been living in Humboldt since 2008 and enjoys working on his 100-year-old house with his wife. The city is a great place for everyone to live, he said. “We have so much potential. We have so many great people here. The people that have lived here for a long time and also the newcomers that

have come here. I have friends that have come here from all over the world, and they’re wonderful people, and we need more immigration.” Having worked with the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool as a grain elevator manager, Doepker Industries and Bourgault Industries, Hinz said he didn’t have much time to volunteer but that changed as soon as he retired. He is serving his second term on the Humboldt Co-op board and has volunteered at his church with music ministries and with the Muenster Flyers. Hinz loves going for walks around the city so he will have no problem going door-to-door to talk to people about the election, he said.

LARRY JORGENSON Larry Jorgenson announced that he will once

again run for a seat at the council table. Jorgenson announced on Facebook on Oct. 5 that he is “humbly” asking for votes on Monday, Nov. 9. First elected back in 2012, Jorgenson has served under Mayors Eaton and Muench and would like to continue sharing his experience with the eventual new members of the council. “There are going to be new faces around the council tables. To provide continuity to this new council, I am hopeful that voters will return the incumbents who have chosen to run again,” said Jorgenson in a Facebook post announcing his council candidacy. “Our experience, balanced with new ideas and energy from some new councillors, will allow our momentum as a council and a community to continue through 2024 and beyond.” As a potential mentor for the upcoming council members, Jorgenson said he wants to save members from having to learn things the hard way like he did. “There’s experience that I’ve gained over the SEE PROFILES PAGE 7

What to look for in a frozen meal? It’s hard to deny that a frozen meal, ready in minutes, is a practical option at the end of a hectic day. The downside is they tend to be a poor source of nutrients. You’ll need to be careful with your selection if you want your ready-made meal to be an acceptable alternative to a home-cooked one. Here are a few things to look for on the Nutrition Facts label. • Protein. Light frozen dinners geared toward weight loss tend to be low in protein. You’ll need a meal that contains at

What is carpal tunnel syndrome?

The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway in the wrist made up of bones and ligaments. If inﬂammation occurs in this area, it can lead to a potentially debilitating condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome. CAUSES

The median nerve, which controls sensation and movement in most of your fingers, runs through the carpal tunnel into your hand. Inflammation in the wrist can compress this nerve and lead to pain, numbness and a weakened grip. Common causes of inflammation in the wrist include diabetes, high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis and thyroid

disorders.

In addition, repeatedly straining your wrist can lead to inﬂammation. This includes any ongoing movement that overextends the wrist, prolonged exposure to vibrating tools and a lack of wrist support when using a keyboard or mouse. PREVENTION To prevent or minimize the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, avoid activities that overextend your wrist as much as possible. If you frequently use a computer, consider an ergonomic wrist rest. When engaging in an activity that requires repetitive wrist motion, such as playing the

piano, be sure to take frequent breaks. TREATMENT

Effective options for treating carpal tunnel syndrome include taking anti-inﬂammatory drugs, icing your wrist and wearing wrist splints. A chiropractor, physiotherapist or occupational therapist can also suggest exercises and provide manual therapy to relieve pressure in the carpal tunnel. In severe cases, carpal tunnel release surgery may be necessary. If you experience symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, be sure to speak with a health-care professional as soon as possible.

least 15 grams of protein to satiate your hunger. • Fibre. To keep you feeling full and reduce your temptation to snack, look for frozen meals that have at least two grams of ﬁbre. • Sodium. Most frozen dinners are high in salt, even if they don’t taste salty. The sodium content of your meal shouldn’t exceed 600 milligrams. • Fats. You should aim to not exceed 15 grams of fat per meal, and make sure no more

than three grams of it is saturated. Avoid fried food, cream sauces and puff pastries. Remember that you can always ﬁll the nutritional gaps in your frozen meals with quick, fresh sides. If a dish doesn’t have enough protein, complete your meal with a small bowl of Greek yogurt or a hard-boiled egg. If a dish is lacking vegetables, throw together a salad or pour yourself a glass of low-sodium vegetable juice.

PART 2 last eight years that will be useful for me to pass on to anyone who’s sitting around the council table.” Jorgenson first moved to Humboldt in 1992 and has been a professional engineer at Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute (PAMI) since 2006. Jorgenson has been an active volunteer with Arts Humboldt, the Humboldt Jaycees, and the council rep with the Humboldt and District Chamber of Commerce. “My background with non-profit groups and my professional career as an engineer are a benefit to city council in my opinion,” he said in the Facebook post. There are many things still happening on council that Jorgenson wants to continue to be apart of, including the lagoon project and the Humboldt Broncos memorial Jorgenson has been part of the memorial committee since it was formed, he said, and he wants to continue to represent the council as the process moves forward. He said he wishes the best of luck to all candidates and thanks the community for the support he has received since 2012. He is looking forward to meeting with people and discussing important city issues.

ROGER KORTE Running for council has always been something that Roger Korte has wanted to do, he said. Now is the time, with Korte running in the upcoming municipal election along with 14 other council hopefuls. As a long time journeyman autobody technician and a former volunteer with the Humboldt Broncos and the Humboldt Jaycees, Korte wants to be at the table to continue making good choices for the city while bringing new ideas to the table, he said. He’s not coming in with an agenda, he said, just the focus and the desire to make good decisions as a councillor. Having so many people running in the election is great to see, he said, since that does mean that people are interested

in joining the discussion, especially with the mix of men and women wanting to be at the table. “[It] shows good interest in the city. It’s good to see the numbers are up.”

munity, she said.

ROB MUENCH

MEGAN MACINNIS Megan MacInnis has spent 11 years with the Humboldt and District Community Services and now she wants to make even more of a difference in the community by running for city council. MacInnis said she has a lot of ideas for the upcoming term, adding that it is a learning opportunity as she is interested in learning how the council works. Especially from a personal side, MacInnis said she likes to stay informed about what is going on in the city and this would be another way to do that. Even while working full-time with three kids and being active in the community, MacInnis recently worked towards a business certificate through distance learning, so she said she knows she has the determination to work towards her goals, she said, including a seat at the council table. Beyond her work life, MacInnis also volunteers in many different places across the city, including the Humboldt Ball Development Board and their fundraising effort for the ball diamonds at Centennial Park, organizing Humboldt Slopitch during the summer, coaching her daughter’s minor softball team, and serving as a committee member for Humboldt KidSport. With 14 people running for six council seats, MacInnis is happy to see people caring about their community in this way, especially with so many women and young people running for council seats. MacInnis said she hopes this inspires other young people to run in future elections. With COVID-19 awareness being such a huge thing this year, MacInnis is not comfortable going door-to-door, and she is sure there are others that feel the same way. She will be using social media to campaign and reach out to people in the com-

While he’s not running for mayor again, Rob Muench will still have his name on the ballot. In the Monday, Nov. 9 election, Muench will be running again for one of six councillor seats. There is still a lot of unfinished business that he still wants to be a part of, he said, like the lagoon upgrades that have just been recommended for federal funding through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program. “I’d like to see it happen with no new tax increases or levies, and I think that’s doable with the amount of debt we have and will pay off in the next few years. We can use that savings to fund that system. That’s what’s desperately needed in our community.” Other ongoing projects include the flood mitigation engineering study, asset management, and continued improvements for Highway 5, Highway 20 South and 16th Street. Muench was first elected to the council table in 2006 and won the mayor’s seat in 2016. His decision to not run for the mayor position was due to balancing work, home life and council. With all the hardships the city had to face, Muench said he would like to thank the city staff for all their hard work and accomplishments in the past four years.

Hradecki said she has the experience to be a councillor and wants to make common-sense decisions. SchemenauerHradecki grew up in Lake Lenore and lived in Humboldt in her 20s. Working with the Carlton Trail Regional Economic Development Authority as an instructor, she knows the area, she said, and got to research the local economy and business in the area and attended RM meetings in the area. Vulnerable populations like seniors and children need a voice, she said, and she wants to provide that voice for people across the city. In previous positions, Schemenauer-Hradecki said she, “tried to advocate for people that don’t have a voice, or their voice isn’t the loudest one.” Most importantly, Schemenauer-Hradecki said she has the heart for her community and appreciates how great Humboldt “What a fantastic city we have and we’re so lucky to be here. After living in other places, other cities, other communities, I just can’t get over how blessed we are in Humboldt with the services we have, how beautiful our city is, and the potential of our city.” Looking at different tourism ideas for the region, SchemenauerHradecki said more should be done to celebrate the German heritage of the area. Before the Humboldt German Club disbanded, Schemenauer-Hradecki was an active member, she said, and took part in St. Nicholas Days in the city.

MELFORT COUNCIL

the Safe Restart funding remaining. The city council will discuss how this money will be spent during budget discussions in 2021.

Becky Zimmer LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER, BATTLEFORDS NEWSOPTIMIST

It was a bittersweet for the Melfort city council as they wrapped up the ďŹ nal meeting of the 2016-20 council term. There were well wishes and thank yous all around as the Oct. 19 meeting ended, with everyone lending their voice to praise the administration and each other for a term well done. There was still business to attend to before some council would leave the table, possibly for good, including the tax collection comparative statement and the third quarter ďŹ nancial report. According to the comparative statement brought forth by Sandy Peterson, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treasurer, $7.27 million in taxes were collected so far in 2020 following $1.16 million collected in the month of September. This was due to the city council pushing back the tax penalty arrears from April 1, 2020 to Sept. 1, 2020 during the April 6 council meeting to ďŹ nancially assist residents due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The projected operations surplus going into the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth quarter was announced at $8,213 which is within the budget targets, reported Peterson, with surpluses also reported in the landďŹ ll fund and waste collection. The utility fund and the wellness centre are all projected to breakeven for 2020. Mayor Rick Lang said staff and council responded well to ďŹ nancial pressure brought on by the pandemic, but it is far from

over and the volatility of COVID-19 means they must remain vigilant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of this COVID-19 aftermath might potentially put us in a position of having a deďŹ cit in 2021 after we approve that operating budget. Nothing is for certain, unfortunately, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a very different time than we normally are.â&#x20AC;? Lang said it was Melfortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $357,447 share of the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $70.32 million Safe Restart Canada Plan that

saved Melfort from an operational deďŹ cit. This funding was set up to help Canadian municipalities adjust to changes to their communities since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the closure of the Northern Lights Palace pool for the foreseeable future, part of this fund has been dedicated to ďŹ&#x201A;oor replacement and deck resurfacing as a 2021 capital budget precommitment. The total project will cost

$231,000 and will be paid for through Safe Restart and Facility Maintenance Reserve funding. Other portions of the Safe Restart will go towards ďŹ re department turnout gear, tablets with VPN for remote access for city staff in case they will once again be working from home due to any further COVIDrelated city hall closures, and potential deďŹ cit ďŹ nancing to be designated for future funding needs. The city has $85,163 of

The Melfort Hospital gift shop is moving to the north annex of the Historic Post OfďŹ ce The agreement between the North Central Health Care Foundation and Melfort council will see the foundation approved for three months in the annex with the city bearing the cost of the operation. The move will give the foundation further chances to fundraise for muchneeded equipment but will also offer residents and visitors a reason to head to Melfortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown and the historic post ofďŹ ce, said Coun. April Phillips, who spoke on the item. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People will be in it and it might actually let people see the potential for something going in there permanently.â&#x20AC;? Not having the foundation fundraising at this time would deďŹ nitely hurt the community, Lang said. The gift shop was closed earlier this year due to COVID-19.

#Done Waiting Our Health Care Heroes Deserve a Fair Contract After over 1,000 days of negotiating, the government of Saskatchewan continues to push vital SEIU-West health care workers to accept a wage mandate with ZEROES, while refusing to ensure safe staffing levels in health care. Without a contract, recruitment is nearly impossible and understaffing just keeps getting worse. The government either doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand or doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care that SEIUWest health care workers deserve a wage increase and that conditions in Saskatchewan long-term care homes, hospitals, and home care must be improved. SEIU-West members in your community are holding safe, responsible information pickets to alert the public of what is at risk in our health care system if this continues.

TISDALE TROJANS

Trojans back on the ice Robin Wark

RECORDER SPORTS

TISDALE — More than six months after their season abruptly ended, the Tisdale Trojans are ready to hit the ice again for meaningful games. The Saskatchewan Male U18 AAA Hockey League team opens its regular season on Sunday hosting the Saskatoon Blazers at the Tisdale RECplex. When asked about last weekend’s exhibition play against Prince Albert, Trojans head coach Dennis Kubat made a statement that could also apply to the season’s start: “Just excited to be back on the ice. I know the boys were excited... The parents, the coaches, the players, everyone was excited to get back out there.” The 2020-21 season will

deﬁnitely be a different campaign. Gone are traditional foes the Notre Dame Argos and Beardy’s Blackhawks – replaced by the Warman Wildcats and Estevan Bears. As well, due to COVID-19, the season is down to 30 games, all games are slated for weekends, and crowds will be limited. While the Trojans’ top six scorers from last season have moved onto the junior ranks, the organization will put an older team with experience on the ice this season. Eight players are back from last season. General manager Cole Simpson, Kubat and the rest of the Trojans have stocked the roster with older players – including some with U18 AAA experience and one who played in the junior ranks. Up front the Trojans have lost such players as last

year’s leading scorer Kalen Ukraintez (33 goals and 63 points in 41 games) – the team captain who also is Tisdale’s leader in career points, Trenton Curtis (51 points), and Mackenzie Carson (31 goals). In their stead is a forward group that Kubat believes is deep. The team hopes to use that depth to score by committee and “just wear down teams,” Kubat said. Carter Briltz is the team’s top returning scorer. He had 25 points, with 12 goals, goals in 44 games. Also back at forward for the Trojans are Kylynn Olafson (19 points), Kayden Ostrom (10), and

Jordan Normand (nine). The Tisdale team adds two 17-year-old forwards who competed in the league last season. Dawson Brace from White City joins the Trojans after posting 10 points in 30 games for Prince Albert last season. Martensville’s Payton Kachur had ﬁve points for Yorkton. To the U18 AA veterans up front, the team adds 16-year-old Zackery Somers of Melfort (30 points in 36 games for Prairie Hockey Academy Elite 15s last season), Canora 17-year-old Clay Sleeva (15 goals and 44 points in 36 games for U18 AA Yorkton), 15-yearold Harper Lolacher of

Pilot Butte (16 points in 27 games for Notre Dame U15), Quill Lake 17-yearold Kaiden Korolchuk (22 goals, 44 points in 33 games for Humboldt U18 AA), and 16-year-old Jacob Cossette of Air Ronge (20 goals and 41 points in 33 games for Beardy’s U18 AA). Lolacher is the younger brother of Hunter Lolacher, the Trojans’ returning goaltender. The youngster is the team’s lone 15-year-old. Tisdale will have a veteran and older backend even with the departure of Zac Robins (28 points) and others. Returning to the team are Nicholas Andrusiak (17 points in 44 games), Jeremy Hancock (13 points), and Cole Tanchuk (nine points).

Joining them is Warman 16-year-old Kody Norberg, who played AAA last season for Beardy’s. Onion Lake’s Lare Pahtayken, in his 17-year-old season, joins after spending the last two years at the Tier II Junior A and Junior B levels. The Trojans have added Saskatoon 16-year-old Cole Barry, who played at the midget AA level last season. In goal, returning netminder Hunter Lolacher led the Trojans last season with a 3.22 goals against average and a .900 save percentage. He will be backed up by Archerwill 16-year-old Cody Wilson. Last season Wilson posted a 2.46 GAA and .906 save percentage with the U18 AA North East team.

OFUKANY, Victor February 2, 1936 - October 7, 2020 Victor Ofukany passed away peacefully in his sleep in the early morning of October 7, 2020 at the age of 84. Victor was born in Peesane, Saskatchewan on February 2, 1936. Vic grew up on the farm with his sister Rose Denomey (Jim) and four brothers Jerry (Beth), John (Evany), Frank (Bev) and Robert (Brenda) Ofukany. Vic met a local girl Donna Bromm in Crocked River while playing fastball. They fell in love and were married in Tisdale, Saskatchewan on April 19, 1958. Vic was predeceased by his parents Steve and Anna Ofukany (Rovinsk), Sister Rose Marie Denomey (Jim) and great granddaughter Lily Ofukany. Vic is survived by his loving wife Donna of 62 years married, and children Deb Stittle (Len), Laurie-Anne Kopp (Joe), Greg Ofukany (Loretta), Carrie Costantino (Frank) Grandchildren Cole Stittle (Holly-Rose), Tyler Stittle, Justin Kopp (Diane), Jordon Kopp (Tiffany), Drayden Kopp, Travis Ofukany (Natalie), Troy Ofukany (Kristen), Racheal McLeod (Wes), Shawna Johnson (Carl), great grandchildren Aurora and Leo Stittle, Orianna Stittle, Lucas, Ethan and Spencer Kopp, Matilda Kopp, Weston Ofukany, Ella Ofukany, Kohen and Sawyer McLeod, Emilie and Elise John son and numerous nieces, nephews and friends. In the early 1960s Vic worked in Uranium Mine in Uranium City, Saskatchewan and at the Salt Mine at Chaplin, Saskatchewan. Vic worked as a heavy-duty equipment operator building roads. He moved his 35-foot trailer and family (wife and 3 children) all over the southern interior of Saskatchewan. (They moved 60 times over 5 years). In 1964 the family moved to BC. Vic worked for 5 years on the Mica Dam project, Coquihalla Hwy, Harper Mountain Ski Resort, and many other projects. Vic retired in 1990 after the completion of the Hwy 5 (4 lane) from Kamloops to Heffley Creek. Vic was a member of the Local 115 union for 54 years. Over that time Vic moved his family to Kamloops, Squamish, Salmon Arm, and in 1971 moved to Heffley Creek, BC. Vic's son and grandsons followed in his footsteps by becoming equipment operators too. Victor was a hockey dad and enjoyed watching his son Greg Ofukany play in AAA Hockey and his grandson Troy Ofukany play in the WHL. As a young single man in the early 50s Victor played fastball on the Peesan Team for 3 years. They travel to many of the small towns throughout Sask. The team was made up of four sets of brothers. Once retired, Victor took up fastball again. He played in the senior's games in Edmonton, Prince Rupert, Kelowna and in the US at Wenatchee, Lynden and Everson. Vic played on the local team in Kamloops playing for Balco, Bencher Logging and the Sidewinders at the Dick Hart Ball Park on Todd Mountainn Road until 2002. In 1997 Vic and his brother-in-law Jim Denomey donated their time and were instrumental to the excavation of the Dick Hart ballpark field. Vic was also instrumental in building a one Kilometer driveway with 5 switchbacks for his daughter and son-in-law.

Victor enjoyed string instruments especially his electric guitar he would play with bands at small town dances in Saskatchewan. Later in life Vic took up the banjo. The banjo sat idle for many years and only recently did Vic's grandson Tyler Stittle repair it.

Victor will be remembered for his love for his vegetable garden, walnut trees and grafted apple trees. He was self-sufficient making his own sauerkraut and growing his own tobacco. Vic won 'Best Garden' in the City of Kamloops in 2011.

His ability to fix absolutely anything won him the title, "If papa can't fix it were all screwed." Vic built many bird houses, a fishing hut, a GT snow racer, many cow towel bars, a duck house and movable weather vanes. His nickname should have been Jimmy for Jimmy rigging. Vic loved animals and had a connection with every animal he met. Vic had a pond for many years and his goldfish grew to over 7 inches. Each year Vic would race against the squirrels to see who got the most walnuts.

One thing the COVID-19 crisis has taught us is that we can carry on some things while remaining within the present guidelines. This is demonstrated by the Drivethru Fowl Supper idea. It was nice to see that there will be one at Crooked River on Saturday, Nov. 7. Watch for posters or phone 306-873-8302 for more information. These functions are essential toward the up-keep of local facilities, so try to support them. Library Week was held from Oct. 18 to 24 with library supporters visiting, browsing and taking out books. Patrons were able to enter the draw if they signed out a book . Lil Fleck’s birthday was celebrated at the Inn with friends on Oct. 23. Her daughter, Bonnie arrived from Calgary the same afternoon. Lil’s actual birthday was on Oct. 24 and we wish her good health and happiness. The clean-up, sort-out, ﬁle and keepor-destroy sessions continue here and

Maureen and I spent time last week with some old cards and photos. One in particular caught my eye and there’s a story behind it set in the early ’50s. Some of the ladies in the photo will be remembered and even have families who are still in the area. It happened when the ﬁrst curling rink was built in the village, where the CNR land was (This is where it usually ﬂoods in the spring today as it did then). The curling rink was built of green lumber that shrunk as time passed and left gaping spaces between the boards. There was also natural ice which was ok in the cold weather but began to thaw as spring approached. Bonspiels were popular and Annual, Farmers, Family…, were held early. When the ladies asked for time, it was usually when the ice began to deteriorate. However, this particular ‘Spiel seemed to be early enough. The ice was still intact and all the gals in town were ready to roll when the committee discovered they

were short of a team. In desperation, they begged me to gather a rink. My qualifications… I’d curled through the winter as a lead. With some help from winter-isolated, desperate-to-get-out of-the-house local wives, I made up a team: Mary Miller.. never played, but would complete a so-called rink: Frances (Raymond) Mahussier, a strong arm; and Annette (Francis) Mahussier had played a few games and had some idea of the rules. (They teased us about our “plugged” rink.) As usual, there were the town favourites who won everything, and everyone followed their progress. We were ignored as we miraculously fluked our way to the finals, and…(you guessed it) fluked our way to a win of the “Spiel”. Toppling the favourites was not a smart thing to do, so we accepted our trophies and left quickly, avoiding any village appearances until the whole thing faded into spring and summer activities.
