Encarnacion apt to burn Jays with his bat

By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

Almost guaranteed to happen in 2017 (Part II — July through December): July — Toronto-based TSN and Sportsnet both produce three-hour specials to honour Milos Raonic, who lives in the Centre of the Universe, after he wins his first tennis major, the men’s singles’ title at Wimbledon. Eugenie Bouchard of Montreal gets a late mention after winning the women’s singles.

August — “We want Edwin back” chants the crowd at Rogers Centre as the Blue Jays drop 17 games out of first place in the American League East following a 9-4 loss to Cleveland, a game in which Encarnacion belts two homers and drives in six.

September — The newest NFL team in Los Angeles, the former San Diego Chargers, plays its home games in a 27,000-seat soccer stadium in the L.A. suburb of Carson. Owner Dean Spanos brags about the team’s ‘near sellouts’ week after week after week.

October — The National Hockey League begins its 101st season (Game 1, Season 1 was in November, 1917), meaning it has been 50 years since the 1967 Toronto Maple Leafs last won the Stanley Cup. This means, of course, that Season 101 will be Season 51 of the Leafs’ futility.

November — Quarterback Darian Durant completes an improbable series of events — guiding his new team, the Montreal Alouettes, to a Grey Cup victory in Ottawa over his former team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, who enjoyed a 13-5 rebirth

in coach-GM Chris Jones’ second season at the helm of the Green Riders.

December — The best Canadian curlers gather in Ottawa to determine our country’s representatives at the Winter Olympics in Korea and the winning skips are (you read it here first): Val Sweeting of Edmonton on the women’s side; and Reid Carruthers of Winnipeg for the men.

Viscount news

By Sandra Reid Correspondent Blankets for Canada had a good turnout this week; there were seven of us. We had a new lady surprise us with a visit, a beautiful blanket and about a hundred squares; wow!

Evelina delivered twenty blankets to two shelters in Saskatoon this week, thanks to the ladies who have been so

very busy devoting their time to this fun and worthy project. We wish to thank everyone who participates in the making of these beautiful and useful blankets. Evelina’s visiting mother from Toronto has been one of these ladies. This sweet 89 year old came for a two week visit and stayed for four months, enjoying the weekly meetings and sewing our ‘Blankets for Canada’

labels on the finished blankets. Evelina thinks she will miss it. Call Evelina at 306 944-4820 if you would like to learn more about what we do (or perhaps you would like to come join us).

Viscount Seniors held their fundraiser breakfast on Jan. 28. There were 14 people that came out to enjoy the weather and a lovely breakfast with awesome conversation. Workers for

the breakfast were Chris Rault and Louise Barlage. The winner of the Lucky Loonie was Fred Barlage.

Welcome to the month of February.

Lot’s happening at the local Community Centre check the monthly newsletter for hockey games.

Best wishes to anyone that is under the weather hope you feel better soon.

Have a great week.

Setting higher targets in the ag industry

Calvin Daniels No one can suggest Canadian farmers are being complacent in terms of producing crops.

In fact, the farm sector in Canada has been very proactive in setting targets to increase the amount of crop grown

on an acre of land.

The latest example of the forward thinking came from the Pulse Canada Board of Directors recently.

They want the industry to accelerate production to help generate significant new demand for pulses and pulse ingredients by 2025. Board members set the ‘25 by 2025’ target as part of the association’s recent planning process and will now embark on an effort to unite the industry around the bold new goal.

In this case the Association first looks to broaden demand for

pulse crops with a goal to create new demand in new use categories for 25 per cent of its productive capacity.

The idea is to make inroads into areas such as snack foods, and breakfast cereals. They reason pulse fit such areas based on crop aspects such as high protein, fibre, and slowly digestible starch.

The industry made the announcement on January 18, 2017, the second annual Global Pulse Day. The day is one whereby the global pulse industry works to increase public awareness of the impact that pulses can have on the health of people and

the health of the planet.

C e r t a i n l y h e re i n Canada there is room to build consumer awareness both at the processor level, and the family table since pulses are not as widely used here as in many parts of the world.

The need to diversify markets is in response to increasing production.

According to a recent release the Canadian pulse industry continued to expand production in 2016 to meet strong demand with a 28 per cent increase in lentil production and a 51 per cent increase in pea production over last year.

Such production num-

bers do vary of course based on expected commodity prices.

There are finite crop acres and while farmers do utilize basic rotations based on best practices, acres do also shift within that rotation based on price expectations.

By growing markets for pulses the industry stands to create greater demand to buoy prices and carve a more significant piece of the annual production pie.

Of course the pulse initiative is not unique.

In 2014 the Canola Council of Canada (CCC) tabled a 10-year plan to capitalize on the

world’s growing appetite for healthier oils and protein.

Called Keep it Coming 2025, the plan focused on generating more profit for the farmer from every acre grown, while building canola’s value in key markets. The 2025 target is an increase to an average 52 bushels per acre, for 26 million metric tonnes of production to meet global market demand for canola.

Such planning by f a r m e r- l e d i n d u s t r y groups is essential to continue to ensure farm profitability and to feed a growing world population.

Everyone is an immigrant

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Well he is doing all he said he would.

In his first week as President of the United States, Donald Trump has signed executive orders on immigration, abortion, and government wages.

In turn, residents of the United States and worldwide; some with acts of kindness and protest, others seeing this as justification for violence.

Thousands of people protested at major airports all over the United States while places like mosques are being vandalized, destroyed, or even attacked.

Prime Minister Trudeau has also responded with a tweet: “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada.�

Even Pope Francis is joining the conversation.

He tweeted, “There can never be true peace as long as a single human being is violated in his or her personal identity.�

Beyond looking at the politics of the move, we have to look at the fact that these are people who need help.

Historically, Jewish people who were trying to escape Nazi rule even before World War II broke out were turned away from Western countries based on their ethnicity.

Right now, Trump’s rule is targeting those of the Muslim faith from seven major Islamic countries; Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and Sudan.

Why are these the only ones being targeted? Because Trump only sees them as one thing. He has put these people in a box that the vast majority do not deserve.

I had the pleasure of attending the Humboldt Regional Newcomers Centre’s Building Communities Recognition Night on Jan. 28 where the Centre recognized people in the area who are working to better their community by providing assistance to newcomers.

These are people who are welcoming those who want a new life in Canada. These are people who accept people from war-torn countries into their homes and communities.

It was humbling to see those awarded for years and endless hours of work helping newcomers to Humboldt and area.

And to hear their powerful words about why they do what they do gives hope that we will continue to be a welcoming country, province, and region, despite the cowardly acts of violence by some.

Norman Duerr received a Humanitarian for Peace award at the event and his work with newcomers is very personal for him since his two children are from Tanzania. “Even though there are differences between us, we share a common humanity,� says Duerr.

That is what people today fail to realize.

It should no longer be an us versus them society.

We are all human.

It is not just the “others� who are being barred from entering the United States. They are not just Muslims or possible terrorist threats.

These are men, women, and children who are looking for a better life.

They are humans, period.

These are people who are in need and we have a duty, whether we call it a Christian duty or just a duty as fellow humans, to help our neighbours, no matter what colour, religion, or ethnicity they may be.

All Star game needs fine tuning

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

The NHL All Star game needs a reformat.

Yes, I know they just started this format but after watching the game on the weekend it became very clear that it is just not working.

Were there some fun moments?

Sure, but overall there was just a whole lot of players giving very little effort at times.

Fans paid good money for those tickets and it is a shame that the players could not reward them with some hard

work.

According to nhl.com tickets ranged in price from $235 for 300 level to $1,050 for glass seats.

Could you imagine going to see a hockey game or concert and paying that much money, keeping in mind that that is American and they are actually closer to $306 - $1,369, and the act you went to see barely tried?

You would feel like it was such a waste of money.

Now the 3-on-3 format is not really the problem because I will admit that as the tournament went along the quality

of the hockey did improve but that also came with a $1 million grand prize for the winning team.

So how do we get the players to try harder at the start?

Why not let them compete for money right off the hop?

Sure roughly $90,000 once it is split up is not much to an NHLer but it is obviously worth enough bragging rights that they put more effort in to win it.

So put money up for the first game and whichever team wins those players get to donate that money to a charity of their

choosing.

I say put money up for grabs in each of the three games and hopefully that will be enough incentive for the players to play hard for the fans who paid their hard earned money to go watch them play.

Sure, I hear the argument that they do not try as hard because they do not want to get hurt and while I do understand that, if they were really that worried about getting hurt you would not see players like Alex Ovechkin blocking a shot during the championship final.

We seem to forget that these

are professional players and there is a lot of open ice.

I have no doubts that they could skate much harder than they do now and would be more than capable of avoiding injury.

It is time we held these players to a higher standard and expected them to give an effort for us.

And if they do not do it, do not give them the four-day break.

Then they would not have to play as many games in such a tight window during the season.

2016 - Year in Review - August Humboldt native Gerard Weber returned to the area as he hosted a concert in Marysburg at the Marysburg Assumption Church on Jul. 30. photo by Christopher Lee Weber comes home for Marysburg concert It has been three years since Humboldt and area concert goers have heard the likes of Gerard Weber.

On Jul. 30, Weber returned as headliner for a Marysburg Centre of the Arts concert at Assumption Church in Marysburg.

The theme for the night was ‘time’, which included music from multiple centuries.

One more recent piece was commissioned by Weber from Canadian composer, Paul Suchan, that was premiered at the North American Saxophone Alliance 2016 Biennial Conference in March 2016 called Songs of Ebb and Flow.

Suchan’s wife was also a guest performer at the show and Weber says they have had many successful concerts together.

Humboldt native, Kristen Raney, was also part of the show.

Kelvington Fair turns 93 It started 93 years ago and today it is still running strong.

The Kelvington Agricultural Society hosted the 93rd Annual Fair Jul. 29-31 at the Kelvington Agricultural Fair Grounds.

The fair featured a number attractions over the course of the weekend including a farm safety day for the kids, a rock climbing wall, Grandpa Joe’s Petting Zoo, a vintage tractor pull, and chuckwagon races among much more.

The fair also featured a bouncy castle donated by the Kelvington Ambulance Association.

Local athletes bring home 29 medals at Saskatchewan Summer Games After six days of competition the 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games have come to an end.

The success of the local athletes contributed to Team Prairie Central finishing third in the total medal standings with 52 medals, just one shy of Team South East for third.

Elfros and area hit hard by storm Everyone in the village of Elfros has been affected by recent rainfalls.

Mayor, Kari Zemlak, says she is surprised at the amount of rainfall that fell on Jul. 23, saying that rain in the area ranged from 5-8 inches in a very short time.

Coming down that fast, it caused a lot of damage, says Zemlak with the library and gym dealing with some damage.

New gravel that was laid has been washed off the roads and is now in the grass.

Water in basements ranged from a couple of inches to up to the rafters depending on where the house was situated.

Parts of the tracks were also damaged with crews going out west of town.

West of Elfros, near Kandahar, HWY 16 was significantly flooded and closed down around 3 p.m. on Jul. 23.

By 10 p.m. the same night, water levels had receded enough that the highway was open again.

Dancing Sky brings drama to summer camp The first week of Dancing Sky Theatre’s Drama Camp wrapped up in Meacham on Aug. 5 with a finale show, directed, written, and performed by the six drama camp students for their parents, grandparents, and friends.

The play, which was about 15 minutes, consisted of a magic button that could grant wishes and the man in charge of the button. It held a valuable lesson at the end about being grateful for the life that they have.

Writing the play was part of camp that the students quickly latched on to, says Block. When they gave them the opportunity to write their own play, right away their minds began to wander to different places they could take their scripts, says Block.

The camp was not just teaching the students acting for a week but also improv, characterisation, and movement.

This could be the first of many bows for drama camp students Noah Munro, Willow Vogelsang, Camilla Saretzky, Olivia Skarra,Chet Saretzki, and Ailie Thiemann as they wrap up their performance for the Dancing Sky Theatre Drama Camp on Aug. 5.

How to prepare for tax time Although some are ready to say their fond farewells to 2016, thought needs to be given to the 12 months that just passed as tax-filing season approaches.

Tax season is a few months away, but it’s never too soon to begin preparations for filing income taxes. Some people prefer to toast the new year and then arrange appointments with their accountants, while others use the new year as an opportunity to get organized and start compiling paperwork and tax questions. Preparing for tax time at the dawn of a new year can make the process go more smoothly in the months ahead. Here are some tips on how to prepare for the upcoming tax season. * Start a documents folder. Employers, charitable organizations, banks and other

Will your retirement savings last your lifetime?

1511 - 8th Ave Canoustie Center 306-682-6173

financial institutions begin mailing out tax forms from the previous year in early January.

Individuals should keep their eyes open for any mail that appears to be tax-related. Store these documents in a folder that can protect any sensitive information. Such folders also make information more accessible as more and more documents arrive in the mail. * Begin collecting receipts and itemizing expenses. Many expenses are tax-deductible.

These can include education costs, moving expenses, home improvements, medical expenses, charitable donations and childcare costs. Store receipts and other documentation, including canceled checks, with the other tax documents. These will come in handy should an audit ever be ordered.

Disability Tax Credit Come and talk to me. You may be eligible to receive an Adjustment/ Refund on your Income Tax for the past 10 years. If you suffer, have suffered or are suffering from an impairment with walking, hearing, feeding, dressing, speaking, elimination (bowel or bladder functions), mental functions necessary for everyday life and Life –sustaining therapy, you or people that are supporting you may qualify for this Tax Credit and an Income Tax Adjustment.

Parents also may be eligible with children that have impairments.

How to prepare for tax time Continued from previous page * Create a spreadsheet of important information. It is handy to have all financial information at the ready. Some accountants will lower their fees if people do some of the filing preparation work themselves.

This can include creating a profit/ loss statement on investments, or working up a tally of charitable donations. Make an itemized list of all pertinent information so it will be handy when tax-filing time arrives.

* Decide on a filing option. Technology has made filing taxes much easier. Tax preparation software is available for those who choose to file their taxes themselves. There also are walk-in centers that will prepare tax-filing documents.

Individuals also can visit a certified public accountant. Whatever method taxpayers choose, allow for ample time to gather information and get the taxes filed by the deadline. Leave some wiggle room

in case one filing method doesn’t work out. * Start saving money. Although the goal is to get a refund each and every year, taxpayers sometimes owe money, which can be troublesome for men and women whose budgets are stretched thin already.

Those who owed money in the past should begin saving money for tax expenses as early as possible. * Develop a good filing system.

Many financial professionals will

advise people to keep financial records for 7 years. Any tax documents should be kept together should they need to be referenced or if an audit is ordered. Designate a filing cabinet or a box specifically for tax documents.

Tax filing season is right around the corner, and the dawn of a new year is a great time for men and women to start gathering documents and preparing their returns.

PROGRESS EDITION 2017 Humboldt sees continued growth

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter It was a busy but very progressive year for the City of Humboldt as they continue to make improvements to the city to accommodate continuing growth.

After seeing a downturn in population in 2006 and an upswing in 2011 that saw the population reach 5,678 people, Humboldt Mayor Rob Muench says from what he has been hearing that number is expected to rise significantly in the 2016 census, which is due out in early February by as many as 1,000 residents.

Seeing the continued growth in the city is nice to see, says Muench, who notes that it helps all aspects of the city including schools, small business, and the housing market.

“You want to see them moving here and supporting the business that’s local here and we want to see new businesses opening up.”

The city continues to try to find ways to attract new residents to the city by doing a number of different things including entering tradeshows, as well as trying to attract people to the city to shop in the stores, says Muench.

There is a great variety of shopping opportunities as well, notes Muench, who says he hopes the residents are taking advantage of the opportunity. He even notices those opportunities attracting residents of other communities, even some from larger centres, to come to Humboldt to do some shopping.

Being competitive is also important, says Muench, who notes the city staff and council are consistently comparing Humboldt to similar cities and towns in the hopes of remaining competitive

in terms of tax rates for commercial and residential, recreational facility rates, as well as the new garbage and recycling program.

Muench notes they also make sure that they have recreational facilities that are on par with other centres in the province, as well they keep those other communities in mind when they set their policies and approve bylaws.

The city hopes that their two awards won in 2016 will also help attract new residents to the city as well, says Muench.

The first award won by the city was a second place prize for their Our Humboldt strategic plan, as well as top prize in Communities in Bloom, which was a nice feather in their cap, says Muench.

“We’ve been entering that competition nationally for a number of years and it finally paid off this year.”

The city spent the last year working on various projects to help make the city nicer, notes Muench, which included the redesign, streetscaping, and upgrade of 5th Ave. The work on 5th Ave. was just a small part of the overall work the city did in 2016, says Muench.

The city also saw a number of firsts last yea including the declaration of Humboldt’s first Pride Week, the release of the Humboldt connect service app, and the establishment of the Water Tower Committee.

Continuing to grow is important the city, says Muench, especially with the potential opening of the BHP mine in Jansen.

“We have to make all our of decisions based on looking at our population now, looking where it may be in a few years and then if the mine opens up that we’re

able to increase the capacity of our systems that we’re doing.”

That means 2017 will be another busy year for the city, notes Muench, who says that depending on the budget there are a number of projects that they might be going ahead with.

The lagoon is one of the projects that the city will continue after looking into it in 2016, and Muench notes that they have been applying for some grants so they can expand the system and solve the odor problems as well.

The city has been looking at a couple of stop gap solutions they may look to implement but Muench says it does not make a whole lot of sense to spend a lot of money for a short term fix.

“We’re looking at more of long term solutions that we can apply for grant money before and then get that to where it needs to be for our population when it increases in the next 10-15 years.”

Another of the projects the city is looking into is first the completion of Phase 1 of the Centennial Park Project and then the start of Phase 2, which includes some work on some of the sports fields and ball diamonds, and potentially the paving of the parking lot, which will depend on the budget.

Muench also notes that another priority for the city is the realignment of 5th Ave., so they are currently in negotiations with CN on the purchase of some of their land, but Muench notes that like all of the other projects it will require a significant amount of money to make the project a reality so final decisions will be made during the final budget process.

“Some of them may proceed and some of them may have to wait a year or two

until we can get that and also depends on government grant money we can get because we can’t do it on our own.”

Overall Muench is pleased with the direction the city is headed, noting that the city is a progressive, growing city in the province and has been identified as a rapid growth community.

“That’s kind of where we’re hoping to see us going in the next while. So as things go further into the next year that we can work on keeping that moving forward.”

2016 City of Humboldt projects Renewed the Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw.

Worked with SaskEnergy to expand service capacity for the city and the region.

Expanded and upgrade the water distribution plant.

Installed a stormwater pipeline east of 11th Ave. Upgraded the emergency operation and meeting centre located at the fire hall.

The little town with everything

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor Being in the middle of Saskatchewan has its advantage.

But for the Town of Watrous, there is little people cannot find there, says Community Development Officer, Brendan Manz.

“We have a larger trading around us and being one of the larger centres southeast of Saskatoon, there’s really not much you can’t get here.”

Manz highlights their full service recreation, health, and retail centres that make for high quality of life for Watrous.

Manitou Beach makes for a

one of a kind recreational opportunity right in their backyard while making Watrous a busy place in the summer months.

With everything that Manitou Beach has to offer from the spa to Danceland, “together we make a very attractive destination,” says Manz.

Being so centralized also puts a very colourful feather in their cap. With only being a little over an hour to Saskatoon, an hour and a half from Moose Jaw and Regina, and two hours to Prince Albert and Yorkton there is an attraction in only being a few hours from major centres.

“On the tourism side, anybody could be here in a couple of hours from around the province.”

Manz himself came to the area as a Manitou Beach tourist and saw Watrous as a place to live and raise a family.

For a lot of people that is how they come to settle in Watrous and make it home.

From the 2006 to 2011 census, Watrous grew from 719 to 777 people.

Manz says they are especially seeing that growth in their schools with 400 students between the Watrous Elementary

and Winston High.

Breaking down the numbers, Manz says that about 17 per cent of their population is that 16 and under age category.

What is alarming about this number is the fact that Watrous does not have a community daycare but Manz says they are working to change that in 2017.

“For the long term growth of our community, we saw that as a positive for us.”

This last year saw some other long term economic development growth projects come to fruition for Watrous, including the reverse osmosis system in-

stalled at the end of 2015 beginning of 2016 and becoming an accredited member of the Mainstreet Saskatchewan Program in September 2016.

Every small town in Saskatchewan is having to face the same economic downturn but Manz says they are still looking forward to growth in 2017 with their diverse economy. Even if one sector is down Manz expects the other ones to come back up.

Especially with the work being done to the Manitou Beach waterfront, Manz says they are expecting a high turnout for tourism season.

New initiative sees a healthier Kelvington

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor The Town of Kelvington has been taking steps to expand their health facilities, says Mayor Tracey Sauer.

The new nursing home remodeling has recently been completed as well as the new hospital facility that was complete in June.

The new initiative facility is also a clinic, hospital, acute care, emergency, and lab are all in one building connected to the nursing home and home care facility.

With three doctors and two nurse practitioners, Sauer says people are excited to move to a town with such optimal health service in a brand new facility. “We have good quality healthcare which is a big thing in this day and age.�

Even though this can be said for many

initiatives in the community, people really pulled together to make the dream of a new hospital a reality. Sauer says that people from the surrounding RMs were quick to jump on board and lend a hand.

There is still hope for the old hospital as well, says Sauer with a company out of Regina wanting to transform it into a private care home with assisted living and a daycare. “Right now, we have a lot of people willing to work but we don’t have the childcare spaces,� says Sauer so this initiative would be beneficial to many in and outside of the community since they want to serve their rural neighbours.

Looking forward to 2017, Kelvington has been approved for the federal and provincial watershed grants which will see greater improvements to their water quality as well as a new housing

development. “We can see a lot of things happening and we’re hoping for a lot of good to happen,� says Sauer.

Kelvington may be progressing but there is still this small town, help your neighbour feel, says Sauer, and the residents take huge pride in that. “That’s why people always stay,� says Sauer.

Like many towns in Saskatchewan, Kelvington does see the challenge of getting new businesses into town, says Sauer.

People want to retire, she says, and getting those businesses filled have been difficult.

It is a hurdle they are trying to climb, says Sauer, with one business coming in the same time one is trying to retire.

However, Sauer says they are not lack-

ing in anything, including a K-12 school, but there is always that search for more. “It’s a community that has everything you need and could want to raise a family and retire in.�

With a curling rink, skating rink, bowling alley and nine-hole golf course, there is also plenty of opportunities to get out and see what Kelvington has to offer, says Sauer.

The golf course especially, “has a lot of people who come, not only because it’s beautiful but it’s reasonably priced.�

Sauer sees people from the cities come over to take in the golf as well as hunters who take advantage of the beautiful nature surrounding the town.

Whatever people fancy, Sauer says it is a caring community that welcomes everybody. “We look forward to helping people.�

Wakaw looks to become more accessible

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter It was a busy year for the Town of Wakaw and 2017 figures to be another busy year as well.

Among the biggest changes the town made in 2016 was the installation of a backup generator and the completion of their elevator project at the rec. centre, says Deputy Mayor Chad Parenteau. “We had an old system that just went up the stairwell. It was an older electrical system where you put a wheelchair on and it would go up the stairs and it was just getting old and out of date.�

The new system figures to be easier and more efficient, says Parenteau. “Even if you couldn’t do the stairs you could still take the

elevator.�

Wakaw saw a large spike in population from the 2006 census to the 2011 census and Parenteau says he expects when the next census comes out in early February that the population will once again increase as he estimates their current population is hovering around 1,000 people.

Parenteau notes that there has definitely been growth in the community and says he has noticed more younger families moving into town. “Our school numbers have been getting higher and just more people commuting but they still like that small town atmosphere.�

Parenteau says low taxes in comparison to the city is one of a number of reasons that people

move to Wakaw, noting that they have a wide range of recreational sports, the lions club is working on building a spray park, and one of the biggest attractions, says Parenteau, is Wakaw Lake and Wakaw Lake Regional Park. “I’ve been born and raised there so for me it’s homey, you’re comfortable, the crime rate is next to nothing, it’s there but it’s very safe living, kids can walk to school and be safe and it’s just a very homey feeling,� says Parenteau.

Looking ahead Parenteau says the town has a number of plans moving forward they would like to implement including the revitalization of their main street through the Main Street Program.

Part of their plan is to place

community benches around town for people to sit and enjoy the view, says Parenteau, who notes that they are looking to add names to the benches, with those interested being required to apply by stating why their family member should be included.

Parenteau says they are also looking at accessibility issues within the arena itself and says they are looking into a ramping system to give those people the ability to get into the lobby and says they are also looking to expand the size of the bathrooms to be more accessible for wheelchairs.

Expansion on the water reservoir is also planned for 2017, says Parenteau, which will give the town the reassurance that

there is enough water in reserve should a major event come up like a fire.

Overall infrastructure is also a point of focus for the community in the coming year, says Parenteau who notes they will be working on improving the water and sewer systems, streets, getting new sidewalks, and on the main piping.

Wakaw is also having a capital assessed asset management plan completed in 2017, which will give the town additional information on infrastructure needs as well as needs for water and sewer.

Looking beyond 2017, Parenteau says the town plans on looking into the expansion of the lagoon, after replacing the lift station, five years ago.

LeRoy Credit Union was established in 1949 and since then has always had a strong commitment to the community. After all it was the membership and community that started it all back then. LeRoy Credit Union is and autonomous branch that has grown consistently in the past years. That growth is due to the members and their strength and Loyalty to the local Credit Union. In turn the Credit Union is loyal to them and the community and surrounding area. This is shown by supporting the community activities and services not only with cash donations or items but with volunteer time as well. In times of adversary we have pulled together to provide that service again to the area. A most recent example of that is the burning of the LeRoy arena in 2013 we are now getting ready for the new rink to be completed by 2016. That is no small feat for a town of 490 people. The credit union has been there from the start supporting this project financially and also by being on committee for the building and volunteer fund raising.

The board, management and staff have also supported the LeRoy School Floor Project, LeRoy Leisureland Regional Park and numerous smaller events, organizations and service clubs. Often by donation but not just in cash, time and give aways are important part of the sustainability of these projects in small town Saskatchewan.

When You Grow, We Grow

Supporting our young people in sport and culture with team jerseys, water bottles and door prizes is important to us. We also support music festivals, Youth Camp sponsorship and sending staff from the credit union to help during camp week which is very rewarding for the staff and camper. We sponsor Grad awards for our future community builders. They are the leaders of tomorrow. As well, we were awarded the 2014 LeRoy School Hall of Fame Award, their way of recognizing our support of the School and its students.

We like to participate in fun events as well such as community Halloween bags and Santa days, themed give aways throughout the year in the office. Member appreciation day is our best day with a barbeque and prizes. If the weather cooperates it’s a great day of visiting and enjoying a great meal together as a community. Credit Union Day is in October and we like to take the time to recognize our past and look to our future as a credit union. So many more sponsorships of Provincial and National donation campaigns as well are supported by our staff and board alike.

Nokomis focuses on infrastructure

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter Infrastructure is the name of the game for Nokomis as they spent 2016 making upgrades and plan on continuing that into 2017.

The town made a number of upgrades over the last year including, working on the water line that supplies the water treatment plant, working on valve shut offs and curb stops, as well as some raw water line work.

Nokomis Mayor David Mark noted that a lot of the work may not be noticeable to the majority of the residents but it is all very important work because it is to

systems that those in the community rely upon.

Since the 1996 census the Town of Nokomis has noticed a steady decline in population, leading up to the 2016 census, which is due to be released in early February, but Mark says he expects that number to increase in the new census, saying the town is slowly growing.

“We see new homes being built, new families moving to town, which is excellent.”

Mark says Nokomis is located in a perfect spot as they are far enough away from neighbouring communities that their local business is able to thrive but are

close enough to larger metropolitan centres.

“We have nice feeder communities we work with. Our children now from 9-12 go to Watrous, which is a natural fit for us.”

Nokomis is a great place to live, says Mark, who notes that they have excellent water quality.

“We have some of the best water in Western Canada. We treat it due to legislation but it can be consumed straight out of the ground without treatment.”

Many times people take water for granted, says Mark, but having such great water quality is a

boon for the town because they do not have to spend as much money treating the water.

Nokomis also has an excellent recreation centre, are close to Last Mountain Regional Park and Last Mountain Lake, as well there are spots to go ice fishing in the winter, fishing in the summer, and hunting in the fall.

“We are nicely situated for a lot of that,” says Mark.

Mark also notes that Nokomis is home to Nokomis Craft Ales.

Looking ahead to 2017 Mark says the plan is to continue making infrastructure upgrades and says they also are looking to ramp up their fair this year in

celebration of Canada’s 150th and might look to do some kind of a homecoming as well.

Mark notes that making a bunch of infrastructure upgrades is not the most exciting work but it is necessary.

“We are lucky enough to be small where it is still significant investment and we can only do so much but these are practical enough systems, small enough that we can tackle it. It will take time but it will get done.”

Overall Mark is pleased with the progress of the community.

“It’s a pretty community with a long history and a lot of proud community members.”

New lots in 2016; expanded highway entries in 2017 for Muenster

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter The community of Muenster is continuing to grow and they spent 2016 accommodating that growth.

One of the largest projects the village undertook in 2016 was the addition of a new 14 lot sub division on the west end of town.

“We had a lot of people asking for lots when we sold out of our last ones and we decided to stay progressive, keep growing our community, meet the needs of our community and our future community,” said Mayor Reva Bauer.

Other projects the community undertook included the building of the first town shop, and a force main upgrade for the water system, which they received provincial and federal grant money for.

Muenster is a small community with just over 400 people but it continues to grow, as is proven by the continued need for more lots.

“It’s a very positive thing to know that Muenster is maintaining and growing

and that we’re able to meet the needs of a growing community so far at this point,” says Bauer.

There are a number of things the village does to attract new residents, says Bauer, including controlling the cost of taxes and water.

“We try to maintain an active community, safety in the community,” says Bauer.

Muenster was blessed with being placed in the national spotlight in 2016 as well through their baseball team who made a run all the way to the national championship, where they claimed the bronze medal.

While seeing them go to the national championship was great, Bauer said that Muenster has been lucky to benefit for their sports teams success nearly every year.

“Muenster has a very strong sports mindedness and that comes through every year. We see the positive impact of our teams usually doing well.”

Looking ahead to 2017, the Village of Muenster has a number of projects

Yuen’s Family Clothing

planned, including the expansion of the highway entries into town.

Muenster and the provincial government signed an agreement in 2016 that will see the two highway 5 entries into Muenster receive bypass lanes, as well as a turning lane with work expected to be done during the 2017-2018 construction year, says Bauer.

“It’s going to hugely improve the safety for our community.”

In addition to that work the village also plans to do more work at the reservoir station, says Bauer, which would include the installation of a back up generator power plant and the application to receive grant money to increase the portable water storage in the village.

Overall, Bauer is really pleased with how the village is doing, saying they are doing well and will be looking to continue to do well in the future.

Off the beaten track

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor There are good things and bad things with being over a major highway in Saskatchewan.

For the Town of Bruno it may be only 25 minutes to Humboldt and 45 minutes to Saskatoon but it still retains its small town atmosphere, which is a very good thing in Saskatchewan, says Mayor Dale Gleesman.

Being a member of the small town Saskatchewan club does mean prices are lower than they are in the city, says Glessman, and they are trying to keep prices down as much as possible. That makes a difference for some members of the community who have jobs in Saskatoon.

With the amount of housing and job opportunities available it does keep Bruno growing. Between 2006 and 2011, Bruno’s population grew from 495 to 574.

These local businesses are a big part of Bruno as well, says Glessman since they are all privately owned and operated.

“When you’re talking to one of the businesses, you’re talking right to the owners most of the time.”

The K-12 school is also an attractive feature since the farthest the parents have to drive their kids is into town if they live on a farm.

People seem to be always coming home

to Bruno, says Glessman, since he sees a lot of people moving back with families making for a strong number of students at the school.

Glessman says with around 22 students starting in Kindergarten for the 2016-2017 school year, a bigger class than there has been for a long time.

“It comes back to the small town. We’re all one family instead of in the city where you don’t know your neighbour.”

The summer means busy months for Bruno since there are plenty of yearly attractions that keep Bruno hopping.

The annual Cherry Festival, which will be having its 15th year in the summer of 2017, is a big tourism draw for Bruno.

The 14th annual festival included local entertainers and trades people, as well as local food and cherry picking in the orchards surrounding the St. Ursula’s Academy and Convent.

That is something that is unique to Bruno, says Glessman since he has not heard of another Saskatchewan community that has it.

Bruno’s annual Show and Shine will celebrate their 12th event which continues to go strong.

This summer will be made even busier with Canada 150 and Glessman says they are sure to have some fun celebrating.

Come play in Quill Lake Your source for Brand Name Clothing & Footwear

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor The Village of Quill Lake may be only 409 people according to the 2011 census.

But it is one big family.

“When this community decides they want something or they need to repair something or they need to raise money for any kind of a cause, everybody gets involved and pulls together,” says Town Administrator Judy Kanak.

People come out of the woodwork to help events run smoothly and even when raising money for big projects, Kanak says they do not have trouble getting people involved.

Unlike some communities in Saskatchewan, Quill Lake has been able to maintain their population.

Taking a look at the census every five years, Kanak does see Quill Lake take on a small and slow decline, but she sees higher declines among other populations.

Though they have not lost a lot of businesses so far, this will hurt Quill Lake over time, says Kanak, which is going to be an on going challenge.

“If we maintain our population, we can keep our school, we can keep what businesses we have currently, we can keep what jobs are currently in the community. That’s what is going to keep people here.”

However, Quill Lake has grown in other ways, says Kanak.

Their brand new ball diamonds and recreational facility is the best in the area, she says, which is something they are still getting used to.

Along with an arena, curling club, golf course, and other activities like yoga, keeping people active is an important part of a happy community.

“It’s important to maintain those so people have places to go and things to do in their evenings and weekends.”

The new facility would be nothing without people to use it and put on events and Kanak says they know people really work to get involved in the community with plenty of service groups and a full K-12 school.

“There is always some group or organization, or even a person, that will decide to start something new.”

This past year was a big one for Quill Lake as they celebrated their 110th birthday with a 1500 person homecoming celebration.

“It went over extremely well and very much enjoyed by everyone who attended.”

Looking ahead to 2017, Quill Lake is planning an event to celebrate Canada 150 with fireworks and ball games, although it will be smaller than the homecoming celebration.

Obituaries MESSMER: Melvin April 8, 1943 - Jan 18, 2017 The death of Melvin Messmer of Humboldt, SK occurred on Wednesday, January 18, 2017 at the Humboldt District Hospital, Humboldt, SK. He was 73 years of age. Mel was born on April 8, 1943 to Mike and Agnes (nee Lanz) Messmer in Humboldt, SK. He completed his education at St. James School.

Mel grew up on a farm near Stoney Lake and helped on the family farm, where his love for horses grew. Mel also had the gift of music which was showcased at an early age when he played his accordion at his Grade 1 school Christmas concert. He was very mechanically inclined and at age 16 started his first job working for Len Kommes at Humboldt Motors in 1959. His mechanics career saw him working at several garages around town, including Dust Motors for Donny and Boots Dust, Bernard Motors, Leo Tonn’s Garage, and then back to Humboldt Motors, where he worked for Herb and Cliff Schlosser. Mel’s love for everything “Ford” began early in his life. He retired in 1988 from Humboldt Motors when a disabling shoulder injury took him away from his passion. One of his fondest memories was touring the Ford Factory in Detroit in 1979 - a trip he truly enjoyed. His mechanical expertise was not only limited to the auto industry but to anything that needed fixing. Mel met the love of his life, Jean Frank, at a young age and they were wed on July 13, 1963. They had three daughters whom he adored. They lived in town for a couple of years and then made their home on the acreage where Mel and Jean resided until 2010. Due to Mel’s declining health, the last six years they have resided at Eastside Village where, despite Mel?s struggles, he made many good friends and many wonderful memories. His family meant the world to him and he enjoyed many conversations and jokes with his children and grandchildren. The joyous energy of the great-grandchildren always made Mel chuckle and put a big smile on his face. Mel will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife of 53 years, Jean (nee Frank) Messmer; his three daughters: Nadine (Leon) Stuckel and their family, Calen, Branden (Blake Babcock), and Nathen (Danielle Franks); Lisa (Duane) Freriks and their family, Shyla (Sean) Miller and his daughter Mya, Shelby (TJ) Hastings, and Kendall (Brandon Schreiner); Pamela (Vance) Arnason and their family, Jasmine and Aubrey (Trevor) Bailey, Chase and his daughter Tahlia, Savannah (Jordan) Gursky and their children Cole and Emma, and Mason. There was also a Special Place in Mel’s heart for his five Godchildren: Corey Krentz, Holly Vedress, Troy Elkin, Wes Messmer, and Trish (Elkin) Hunter. Mel is also survived by his sisters: Barbara Reifferscheid and Kathy (Orest) Polowick; brother, Dennis (Flora) Messmer; sister-in-law, Ann Messmer; brother-in-law, Jerome Reifferscheid; Jean’s family: brother-in-law Larry (Sharon) Frank; sisters-in-law: Sandra (Dave) Elkin, and Adele (Randy) Burynuik; and many nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Mike and Agnes (Lanz) Messmer; Jean’s parents, Alois and Edith (Jordan) Frank; brother, John Messmer; sisters: Rose Reifferscheid, and Jean Knitter; brothers-in-law: George Reifferscheid, and Henry Knitter; and nephews: Dean Messmer and Timothy Polowick. The Funeral Mass was held on Tuesday, January 24, 2017, at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church, Humboldt, SK, at 10:30 a.m., celebrated by Fr. Joseph Salihu.

Others taking part were: Mason Arnason, crossbearer; Benji Schlosser and Bill Bergermann, mass servers; Kendall Freriks and Shyla Freriks, scripture readers; Chase Arnason, Nathen Stuckel and Branden Stuckel, intentions; Shelby Hastings and Jasmine Messmer, giftbearers; Mary Schlosser and Kathy Tumback, memorial table attendants. Music ministry was provided by director Loretta Schugmann, organist Dolores Hinz, and members of St. Augustine Parish Choir. Honorary pallbearers were “all those who shared in Mel’s life.” The urnbearer was Calen Stuckel (and all the rest of the grandchildren). Interment followed at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Cemetery, Humboldt, SK. Memorial donations may be directed to the Humboldt District Hospital Palliative Care Unit or the Sask. Abilities Council.

MOORMANN: Karen February 22, 1950 - January 24, 2017 It is with profound sadness that the family of Karen Anne (nee Feltin) Moormann of Humboldt, SK, (formerly of Fulda, SK) announces her peaceful passing at the Humboldt District Hospital on Tuesday, January 24, 2017 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was 66 years of age. Karen, the youngest child of Joseph and Mary (nee Duerr) Feltin was born on February 22, 1950 at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, Humboldt, SK. She grew up on the family farm in the Dixon District, attended Dixon Elementary School and completed her grade ten at Humboldt High School.

Karen met Jim Moormann at a very young age, and they were married on March 28, 1967 at Humboldt, SK. They resided on the Moormann farm by Fulda until October, 2016. Together, they lived, worked and raised their family on the Fulda area farm. In the mid 90’s, Karen went back to school and completed her high school, as well as getting her Home Care Special Care Aide Certificate. Karen worked for Humboldt Home Care for 12 years. She was an excellent gardener, always planting enough to feed the entire community. Karen was also an amazing baker, with bread, buns and pies being her specialty. You could show up at any time and she could always bring out delicious treats from her freezer.

Karen was a very hard working farm wife, she raised two children, hauled many, many meals out to the field, gardened, volunteered in her community, and participated in various endeavors over the years such as cooking, macrame, crochet, and ceramic classes. She loved talking on the phone with her family and friends, searching the weekly flyers for the best deals, swapping recipes, and also playing a good game of Kaiser. Jim and Karen also loved to travel; they went to many beautiful destinations including Thailand, Australia, Florida, Mexico, Alaska, and all over Canada.

More than anything Karen’s family meant the world to her. Karen will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her husband of almost 50 years, Jim Moormann; one daughter, Monique (Todd) Brown of Calgary, AB; two grandchildren, Brayden and Mariah; one sister, Doreen Munro of Humboldt; two brothers: Joseph (Ramona) Feltin of Fort MacLeod, AB, and Kenneth (Susan) Feltin of White City, SK; brother-in-law, Nap Boutin of Humboldt; and many nieces and nephews. Karen was predeceased by her son Ross (2006); her parents, Joseph and Mary (nee Duerr) Feltin; two sisters: Lucy Schlosser and Virginia Hergott; one brother, Ron Feltin; two sisters-in-law: Valerie Grieman-Boutin and Sheila Berscheid; four brothers-in-law: Hugo Daschner, Wilfred Hergott, John Grieman and Lawrence Berscheid; three nieces: Linda and Kim Daschner and Wanda Feltin; one nephew, Kevin J. Grieman; and numerous other relatives. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Memorial donations may be directed to the Humboldt District Hospital, Palliative Care Unit. At this time, the family would like to thank Dr. Agrawal and Marg Kindrachuk (Karen’s oncologist and oncology nurse); Dr. Moola and all of the wonderful nurses and staff at the Humboldt District Hospital; and to all of our family and friends for your love and support during this difficult time.

Quill Lake Homecoming Committee Chair, Linda Ingram, says the weekend was amazing, and that it went beyond their expectations.

In total the homecoming drew more than 1,500 people over the course of the whole weekend with visitors coming from all over, including British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, the United States, Dubai, U.A.E., and Mazatlan, Mexico, among others.

The homecoming weekend also drew 24 slo-pitch teams for their tournament including teams from local communities.

In addition to the slo-pitch tournament the homecoming committee hosted a number of activities over the course of the weekend including live music, helicopter rides, a parade, school reunions, a midway, a dance, a car show, among other things with the whole weekend being capped off by a fireworks show in the evening on Jul. 31.

With a batting average of .500, Frerichs would go on to win the Rawlings Top Hitter Award.

While Frerichs dominated the plate, Muesnterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Logan Hofmann

dominated the pitching mound with 10 strike outs and no earned runs.

Together, Saskatchewan topped the leaderboard with the most at bats with 238, 47 runs, and 65 hits, being bested only by Quebec who had 58 runs and 65 hits.

Bruno grows for Cherry Sunday The 14th annual Bruno Cherry themed festival took place on Aug. 14 at the St. Ursulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Academy and Convent in Bruno.

Organizers, Brooke Weiman and Brookelynn Tetzlaff, said there was lots for everyone to take in, including nine entertainers on the outdoor stage, sour cherry u-pick all day, pancake breakfast and barbecue, a 23 vendor tradeshow, and kids zone.

All the food was cherry themed, with cherry sundaes, cherry sauce for pancakes and elephant ears, and cherry sausages right off the barbecue.

This years Cherry Sunday stage held amazing local talent including the Rileys children variety show, Hailey Manderscheid dancing two numbers, Ethyn Beggs playing his guitar, and Allanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Laneise Scharback who is making waves in the musical world.

Yellow Quill boy saved from drowning by good Samaritans A four-year-old boy from Yellow Quill almost drowned in Marean Lake, but had his life saved by good Samaritans.

Paisley Nashacappo went to the beach at Marean Lake, located in Greenwater Lake Provincial Park, with his aunt, uncle, siblings and cousins July 31. At some point, he was swallowed up by the water.

Valeasha Taphorn felt something brush up against her. Her husband Curtis Thorpe then reached into the water and pulled out Paisley.

Paisley was taken to the beach, where James Tanner of Tisdale, and nurses Christine Dierker of Mistatim and Renay Massie of Red Deer, Alta. performed CPR. People also brought Paisley towels and blankets to keep him warm.

Fabian Nashacappo, Paisleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father said he was told doing that caused Paisleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood to keep circulating and probably helped save his life.

Blondeau said her sister-in-law â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and she suspects others â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ran to call 911. By the time the ambulance came, Paisley was breathing. He was then transported by STARS to the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon.

Fabian said his son made a complete recovery.

We are also accepting applications for relief occasionally.

2016 - Year in Review - September Taste of Cudworth is a success despite bad weather Cudworth got a taste of culture at their annual Taste of Cudworth event at the Cudworth Community Hall on Aug. 26.

Taste of Cudworth is sponsored by the Cudworth Museum Board and has been an annual staple in Cudworth for at least the last seven years. It is a cultural festival that provides people with the opportunity to experience different cultural foods from within the region including Chinese, German, and Ukrainian foods, among others.

In addition to the food the festival also featured a live band, children’s activities including face painting and balloon animals. There were also artifacts from the museum as well, with people having the opportunity to play a memory game with the artifacts.

Typically the festival is held on the grounds of the museum, but with inclement weather in the area a last minute decision was made to move the festival indoors to the community hall. Despite the sudden change of location 250 people still came out, as the museum was able to raise $2,000, which was great to see says Olexson.

Great crowd treated to great weather at Wadena fair Wadena hosted the Town and Country Fair on Aug. 26-28.

It was a busy weekend full of many events for the whole family including a fireworks display, a pancake breakfast, a parade featuring 28 groups, a demolition derby, gymkhana, chuck and chariot races, and a slow pitch tournament among many more activities.

Fair committee chair, Sara Sobchyshyn, was very pleased with how the weekend turned out noting they

saw nearly 1,100 people over the course of the weekend.

Friends FORE Healthcare golf tournament another success for local care home It was an interesting day of golf in LeRoy with the Humboldt and District Hospital Foundation Friends FORE Healthcare Charity Scramble golf tournament raising money for LeRoy’s Evergreen Country Home assisted living centre.

Fifty-eight golfers participated in 18 holes at the The Creek Golf Course at LeRoy Leisureland as well as participated in rubber duck races, raffle, draw, and supper.

Upgrades like flooring and paint is a continuous thing at the home, as well as keeping monthly costs down for residents.

Twenty-three residents can live in the facility with all meals as well as planned activities throughout the weekend.

Symposium makes tools accessible to Sask. potters Ceram Canada’s Meacham Kilns Firing Symposium wrapped up on Sept. 11 with Ceram Canada professional potters, Bonnie Gilmour and Charley Farrero, unloading their seven kilns of the work of eight Saskatchewan potters.

Participants were able to take time away from their own studios to come to the all they could eat clay and firings and network with other potters to share ideas and techniques, says Gilmour.

In total, Gilmour had seven different kilns with seven different firing techniques; salt, wood, primitive, obvara, and three different types of soda kiln firings.

With the different firing techniques, finishes, glazes, styles, and chemical

affects that can be used, the results are endless. Sharing this information is key to the growth of the pottery industry, says Gilmour and listening to the potters, anyone could hear the excitement and enthusiasm as they discussed affects, recipes, and styles.

Community grants fund Drake Community Centre repairs Thanks to community grants, the Drake Community Centre had the repairs it needed.

“The roof needed to be recoated and restored,” said Stu Jantz, the village’s administrator. “It had a spray-on urethane roof with the weatherproof coating and that needed to be redone.”

The total bill was $40,000, with $15,000 coming from Farm Credit Canada’s AgriSpirit Fund and $20,000 coming from the Community Initiatives Fund. The remainder came from the village.

Local firefighters compete in Lanigan Firefighters from the City of Humboldt and PotashCorp. mines from around the region gathered in Lanigan on Sept. 17 for the 2016 Annual Firefighters’ Rodeo hosted by PotashCorp.

Lanigan.

Joining the City of Humboldt to compete at this year’s rodeo were five local PotashCorp. mines including Allan, Patience Lake, Cory, Rocanville, and Lanigan The firefighters tested their skills against local competition in a number of events including first aid, search and rescue, burst hose, fire extinguishment, practical skills, the challenge relay, as well as water soccer.

Residents standing up for the beach in Manitou Manitou Beach residents have held two meetings in regard to rising water levels and what is being done to alleviate them.

The first meeting on Aug. 15 saw 80 residents gathered to find out plans regarding the rising water.

It was also decided that residents would travel as a group to Regina to take their concerns to Legislature, especially in regards to fresh water diversion plans.

A second meeting was called on Sept. 2 with 40 residents in attendance.

They were told by a council mem-

ber that , “the water was at a level now that would be considered serious enough to indicate a push for the fresh water diversion project,” says Brock.

Rain does not stop another Pilger Pumpkin Festival It was rainy day but the village of Pilger pressed on for their pumpkin filled festival on Sept. 24.

Organizer, Roman Bieringer, says they started planning the festival back in January so they take what they can get for weather.

For a town of 70 people, hundreds come out every year from all over Saskatchewan to join in the fun.

The weather did put a damper on the numbers, with 376 gracing the many different events and enjoying the barbecue and pumpkin pie compared to around 800 people for last years festival.

Bierginer says that they were coming from as far as Eastend, Battleford, Nipawin, and Regina Beach to come and see the pumpkins.

This years biggest pumpkins came in at 159 lbs for the senior local, the junior local coming in at 375.5 lbs, and the junior 30 mile radius at 148 lbs.

The science of music at Englefeld school Andy Kim has been travelling around Canada with his musical creations for 10 years now.

On Sept. 21, he was in Englefeld sharing his musical gifts with the Kindergarten to Grade 8 classes.

All of his instruments are inspired by traditional instruments from Southeast Asian and African countries.

Taking on this unique way of making instruments means that he has his own unique collection. His repurposed hockey stick is based on the Moroccan gimbri, a stringed instrument with a narrow body. Kim wanted to make it more Canadian so he now has the only Moroccan hockey stick.

Another instrument Kim has created is made out of a skateboard and is based off of Persian spike fiddle and an African kalimba.

Kim’s own theremin, an instrument that originated from Russia, is built out of lego and uses radiowaves that can be blocked without actually touching the instrument.

2016 - Year in Review - October David Leask brings Scotland to prairies He came to Canada for a lassie but Scotland is still close to David Leaskâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart when it comes to his music.

The Celtic folk artist was on tour across Canada with stops in Kelvington and Tisdale on Sept. 29 and 30.

As a Scottish musician he naturally brings Scottish music and stories into his shows with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celtic melodies of fiddles, accordions and bagpipes and the folk tradition of songwriting and storytelling,â&#x20AC;? he says, from Robert Burns to more contemporary singer/songwriters.

Both shows were really well attended and went well for Leask in different ways, he says.

David Leask brought his Celtic roots to the stage at his show in Tisdale on Sept. 30. Leask is originally from Scotland but has been in Canada since marrying a Canadian lassie and loves bringing his music around Canada. photo by Devan C. Tasa

Curling Club brings Oktoberfest back to Watrous It took 33 years to the day, but Watrous Oktoberfest came back to town on Oct. 1.

Humboldtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Little German Band played through the night with a DJ taking over later in the evening.

Money raised is going towards a new ice chiller for the curling rink, a vital piece of equipment that has not been replaced since the building of the curling rink in the 1960s.

Carving out culture in Manitou Beach Culture Days came to Manitou Beach with Four Feathers carver, Clayton Cave, sharing the art of soap stone carving.

The event was hosted by the Little Manitou Art Gallery in which Four Feather is situated with Caveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partner, Sarah McKen, who also held a clay sculpting session.

Cave had plenty of pieces of soap stone to choose from and the carving session ran from 10 am to 4 pm on Oct. 2, which McKen says was well received.

Early start to safety education at Progression Agriculture Safety Day The weather did not stop around 100 students from taking part in the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day in Lake Lenore on Oct. 5.

Safe Communities Executive Director, Shari Hinz, says it still turned out to be a good day with eight presenters and students learning about how to stay safe on the farm, whether they are living there or just visiting.

One of the added components this year was around staying safe near grain production to go along with the ag equipment section.

The demonstration saw students take a wooden disc out of a empty pail and then had the students take the disc out of a pail full of grain.

Darrell Wickenhauser with the Humboldt Fire Department presented on Fire Safety and wanted the students to know what to do when the fire alarm goes off.

Oh Susanna tours through Annaheim The Home Routes tour has returned for the 20162017 season and Oh Susanna kicked off the year with a performance at the Backroads Bed and Breakfast on Sept. 30.

The show featured Oh Susanna who played two sets of both original and cover songs, which she says falls in the Roots, Folk, Americana genres.

Pelletierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grace the Marysburg stage Fingers were flying in Marysburg on Oct. 16 with Freddie and Sheila Pelletier picking their guitar stings on Oct. 16 at the Assumption Church.

Jokes were also the order of the day with Freddie mentioning how he always wanted to be a guitar player in the worst way and then he did.

The Pellitierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bring a wide range of music to the stage playing everything from classic country to rock nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll. Those attending can also expect some comedy along with the music.

Continued from page 19 Birch Hills shines as part of the hometown tours It was beautiful Sept. 26 when CTV Saskatoon Hometown Tours pulled into Birch Hills.

The Town of Birch Hills was proud to show off the multiuse facility that will be repurposed from the old Coop to house the library, Lions Club clubhouse, and a seniors space, and do a little line dancing, have lunch at Birch Tree cafe, watching little dancers at the dance studio, as well as touring the school, museum, and other Birch Hills attractions.

Bruno opens their doors for open house Bruno became a busy place with their open house on Oct. 20.

The Bruno Fire Department, Bruno Library, and the Bruno Fitness Centre all stayed open until 9 pm and gave demonstrations, readings, and refreshments to the hundreds that came through their doors.

Captain Kevin Thiel of the Bruno Fire Department walked people through the Fire Hall and talked about fire extinguisher safety and even let a young man put out a fire with the extinguisher.

The Bruno Library took the opportunity to plan a coffee house night to go along with the open house.

Eight performers read poetry and books, sang, and played instruments while the library provided refreshments.

Another new guest for the Bruno library was a cast skull from Scotty, the Saskatchewan T-rex.

Winter readiness program makes

sure everyone is prepared for winter The Humboldt Regional Newcomer Centre and Safe Communities again put on their Winter Preparedness program on Oct. 21 at LeRoy School so they could advice newcomers on how best to handle this new experience.

Four presenters brought four topics of discussion to the workshop, including fire safety, winter driving safety, child safety, and medical safety.

Zimmerman joins Team Sask for U16 Challenge Cup It has been a great summer for Englefeld native, Cael Zimmerman, and it just keeps getting better.

Zimmerman was one of 12 forwards selected to represent Team Saskatchewan at the 2016 Western Canada U16 Challenge Cup in Calgary Oct. 19-23.

The U16 Challenge Cup pits the best hockey players from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia in a province versus province competition.

St. Brieux holds first ball for fire department It was something new for the Town of St. Brieux and it was a great success.

In total, the first annual Firemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ball on Oct. 22 raised $11,785 with $6001 coming from the ball and another $5784 being donated from Affinity Credit Union. This money is going towards new personal protective equipment for the 21 member crew, says Fire Chief, Lee Brockman.

The equipment has been in need of repair for the last few years so the department is looking to replace helmets and coveralls. The ball was something new that the department could bring to St. Brieux.
