Plunkett news

By Deloris Sutherland Correspondent Recently visiting Gizella Toth in Watrous was her daughter Margie from Regina.

Several folks enjoyed the fish fry supper at the Plunkett Hotel. Several folks also enjoyed chicken wings on Thursday.

The Viscount and Plunkett ladies are kept busy working on Blankets for Canada. So far they are making eight inch squares, either knitted or cro-

cheted, and joined together for blankets.

Several Canadian snowbirds are away to Mexico enjoying warm weather.

Several folks were in Humboldt on Saturday taking in the dance.

My granddaughter Lisa Mazer of Calgary left for New Zealand for a month to visit her sister Erin and Ben Stanley and girls.

Taira Credgeur of Toronto spent a month here visiting her parents Dennis and Leona Credgeur and

her sister Tanis Crawford and Rodney and family in Meadow Lake. She has now returned to Toronto and said it was very cold there.

Get well greetings go out to anyone ill and in the hospital. We wish them a speedy recovery.

Plunkett folks welcome any new folks who have moved here.

Who do you like to win biathlon, Martha?

By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

It’s time for the Winter Olympics, where every four years, some guy in Canada turns on the TV and says to his wife: “Hey Martha, they’re skiing and then stopping to shoot rifles again.”

That would be the biathlon, of course, one of the more obscure sports that’s part of the Winter Olympics program, which are being held in PyeongChang, South Korea starting Feb. 9.

There are a few, shall we say, sports that are lesser known to the general population, although those who are aficionados of luge, bobsled

and ski jumping would take great offence at referencing their sports as obscure.

People who take part in those sports are certainly some of the best athletes in the world, because a sport such as ski jumping takes not only skill and flair, but extreme courage, too. And even though most Canadians couldn’t offer 25 intelligent words in describing the difference between luge, bobsled and skeleton, those competitors have to be strong, athletic, agile and dedicated. Not to mention the courage to go fast. Really fast.

But for most Canadians who turn on their TV sets to watch the action, they will be concentrating on the favourites of the Olympics — downhill skiing, speedskating, figure skating, hockey and curling.

Canada’s hockey teams will have medal opportunities, even though our country is sending a men’s team of relative unknowns, because the NHL owners have refused to allow its servants to compete.

So instead of Crosby, McDavid and Price on our side, we have the likes of Brulé, Bourque (Rene, not Ray), Klinkhammer and Vey. Other countries will be equally dis-

advantaged, so watch the Canadian hockey version of an adult Bad News Bears team vie for gold.

The women’s hockey should be among the most exciting competition, because Canada and the U.S. invariably battle it out for gold and this year should be no different. Our curling teams, led by Kevin Koe and Rachel Homan, are gold-medal favourites, and our usual array of skaters, skiers and sledders will undoubtedly come home with medals. Skaters will be in the spotlight, as ice dancers Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir will carry our flag during the opening ceremonies and Patrick Chan is a contender for gold in men’s singles.

Personally, I’ll be watching the hockey, curling, skiing and a little bit of the rest, but I’ll program the PVR to catch the action when comeback kid Mark McMorris of Regina — who nearly killed himself last year when he crashed into a tree at full speed in the B.C. backcountry — flies around during the Big Air snowboarding event. Big Air I could watch every year. Luge?

Every four years is quite enough for me.

Viscount news

By Sandra Reid Correspondent Yet another fun three hours at the Viscount library with the ladies from Blankets for Canada.

We are zooming right along with the making of our blankets. We join crocheted and knitted 8”x 8” squares

together to make blankets for shelters in Saskatoon. It takes 48 squares to make an adult blanket and 25 to make a youth blanket. In 2017, we delivered nearly 200 blankets!

A big thank-you to each and everyone who contributed to the successful endeavour of providing those in need

with a lovely, warm blanket!

On Feb. 3 (hard to believe it is February already) there were 14 people that were at the Viscount Seniors Fundraising breakfast. Workers were Chris Rault and Karen Dale.

The Lucky Loonie winner was Alois Koller.

Monday afternoon at the Seniors there were games and visiting enjoyed by all in attendance.

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

Have a great week.

Thank you to everyone that made this weeks news possible.

NAFTA a looming shadow for ag producers

Calvin Daniels If there is one thing which agriculture, at least in this country, relies on, it is trade.

In Canada we have far more production capacity than we do mouths to feed, and that means

farmers must export most of what they produce in order to be viable.

There are of course niche exceptions, small acreage, or plot level production, of some crops, fruits and vegetables which are predominantly consumed domestically, but they are exceptions to the trade reliance rule.

So it is not a surprise that farmers were generally in favour when Canada originally signed onto the North American Trade Agreement.

While this country trades around the world, our key market across

a broad range of products, agricultural ones included, has long been the United States. That is not surprising given their immediate proximity ensuring easy movement of goods, and its population.

So having unfettered access for the most part to the American market is generally seen as positive in terms of agriculture.

Of course international relations and trade relations in particular, are rarely straightforward and simple.

That is why countries spend huge amounts of

time and effort to hammer out trade deals which define a framework to allow for the flow of goods with less red tape than is possible without clearly defined rules. In a world where lawyers live to find contract loopholes to exploit in favour of one of the parties involved in the deal, solid trade agreements are a must at the international level.

Of course in a deal such as NAFTA no side is ever totally satisfied.

Such a deal is created through negotiation, generally built through give and take. It is a process

which results in something all signatories can in essence ‘live with’, but certainly does not give any one side all it might have went into the negotiations wishing for.

When Donald Trump became president he was rather quick to reopen NAFTA clearly wanting a better deal, or at least his vision of a better deal, one which would favour the U.S. more than trade partners Canada and Mexico.

The new negotiation process, past the sixth round of sit down talks, doesn’t seem anywhere

close to hammering out a new deal. There are those who fear the US will only sign if the deal favours them, it would be a disaster for Canada and Mexico to sign.

Yet if a deal is not done, the US could walk away from the deal, with the volatility of Trump in play that eventuality seems highly probable, and that would set trade back years.

In the balance is trade security, in particular agriculture trade, and that leaves a definite shadow looming on the horizon for producers.

Boost your immune system to help beat that cold

By Dr. Megan Parker, ND Health Columnist

It seems like everywhere you look someone is coughing, sneezing or blowing their nose. Cold and flu season has hit the area in full force.

Have you ever stopped to think about why you may or may not have gotten sick? Let’s break it down.

Let’s say you attended a local fundraiser or hockey game where someone was coughing and sneezing all night, sharing their germs with everyone else in attendance. The next day some of the people at that event will be fighting off a cold after that exposure, but there are also many people who don’t have any symptoms. Why is that?

We are all exposed to bugs that can cause the cold and flu. Whether we get sick or not depends on our immune system. Your immune system’s job is to fight off the bugs that cause colds and flus and allow you to be exposed to them symptom free. If you do develop symptoms it’s usually a sign your immune system wasn’t strong enough to fight it off.

There are multiple reasons that your immune system may not be working at optimal functioning or may be more susceptible than someone else or even than you yourself were a few months ago.

The amount and variety of bugs you are exposed to at once may play a roll. If you’re exposed to multiple different strains of a virus at the same time your body may be overwhelmed and unable to fight all of them off at once.

Proper hand washing and hygiene practices can help a bit in this area to minimize exposure, but we do also get exposure through respiratory droplets

in the air.

Your immune system can also be depleted with lack of sleep.

While you sleep your body does a lot of repair and recovery. It’s also the time when your immune system will sort out and fight off things it doesn’t want in your system anymore.

If you don’t get a good quality night sleep you miss out on all the repair mechanisms and your immune system may not be firing 100% the next day. Getting a good night’s sleep is essential for an optimal immune system.

Your diet and foods you eat also impact your immune system.

In order to fight off germs, you require multiple different nutrients including Vitamin C and zinc which are supplied by your diet. If you aren’t eating adequate fruits and vegetables you won’t be getting the nutrients you need. Protein is also required by your body to create immune molecules.

Eating a diet high in sugar can make you susceptible to catching a cold. Sugar consumption stunts your immune system for up to 24 hours. Every time you eat sugar rich foods you aren’t fighting off bugs as well as you should. I’m sure you’ve all seen this effect after birthday parties or Halloween.

Another pronounced factor contributing to immune system susceptibility is stress. Heightened levels of stress will diminish the effectiveness of your immune molecules fighting off germs you are exposed to.

Whenever you are stressed or busy or worried your body goes into a sympathetic “Fight or Flight” mode.

In this state your body is preparing itself to react to a major stressor, like a bear trying to kill you. Your body will be ready to react to running away from the bear or fighting it off, but immune function will be low on the priority list.

As you’re running for your life from a hungry bear, catching a cold is going to be the last thing on your mind or your body’s task list. Experiencing stress will make you more likely to develop symptoms from exposure to the germs that cause colds or flus.

Don’t wait until you catch a cold or flu to treat it.

Supporting a healthy immune system can help to keep you healthy throughout the winter months even if your friends and family are all sick.

Standing up for mental health

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Bell Let’s Talk Day is a day dedicated to talking about mental health.

Many notable Canadians are discussing their own journeys to promote the idea of bringing mental health discussion out into the open, including comedians Mary Walsh and Howie Mandel, singer Jann Arden and Olympic athlete Clara Hughes.

According to a press release on the Bell Let’s Talk program, five cents from each text, mobile call and long distance call by Bell customers on Jan. 31 was donated to mental health programs across the country. As well, tweets using the hashtag #BellLetsTalk, use of the Bell Let’s Talk Facebook frame or Snapchat filter, and views of the Bell Let’s Talk video on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat all generated funds.

In the end, Bell Let’s Talk raised nearly $7 million to help support mental health programs.

While this is a wonderful initiative to address mental health concerns, there is always more that we can do to promote mental health awareness all year round.

On my Facebook feed, I shared a video of the song, “You Will Be Found,” from the Broadway musical, Dear Evan Hansen.

I find this song so special. Characters in the music video see someone going through a stressful situation, specifically young people being bullied at school, and they step up and act.

Helping can be as simple as that, just making sure people who are being bullied know that someone cares and that they are not alone.

The lyrics are also poignant: “Even when the dark comes crashin’ through, When you need someone to carry you, When you’re broken on the ground, You will be found.”

We all can act when we see someone in need just by making sure people know that they have someone in their corner.

Niamh Menz with the Humboldt and District Community Services works with employers to bring people with disabilities into the workforce. She sees this concept in use frequently as she goes into workplaces with her clients.

Recognizing signs of mental illness interruption, where someone’s daily life is interrupted by things like anxiety or depression, is the first step in actively addressing mental health issues. Addressing these interruptions without fear or judgement is the next important step, she says.

“We need to not judge and not advise. Just be there as a support for that person for whatever they need at that time. Most people just need an ear and they just need to be heard.”

James Brayshaw offers mental health first aid to companies and individuals across the province through Saskatchewan Mental Health Training and Support Teams based out of Saskatoon.

He and his team work with people to give them the tools they need to address mental health issues when they see it.

Talking to family and friends about mental health is the best way to get involved in the conversation, he says.

“It’s when we talk to other people about that we begin to develop a better understanding, especially those who may be suffering with some mental health condition. We can have that empathetic response that will inspire us to find other ways to get involved.”

Talking about the issue, whether through social media or in everyday conversation, is a great first step in addressing mental health.

Now let us take it a step further and make sure that everyone knows that they are not alone, that we are all here to listen, and that everyone needs a helping hand sometimes.

The Humboldt and District Chamber of Commerce released the nominees for the 2018 Mark of Excellence celebration.

Local business owners and entreprenuers will gather on March 7 to award Humboldt and area businesses for their success over the past year.

Humboldt and District Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, Stacey Poss, says that all the nominees were nominated from members of the community.

Over 20 different businesses were nominated in eight categories, including community involvement and community merit as well as marketing, service, and growth and expansion.

The chamber started taking nominations during the Humboldt and District

Chamber of Commerce Fall Expo at the beginning of November, says Poss, which was a fruitful venture considering the amount of nominations they received.

Many businesses were nominated in two categories and many businesses outside of Humboldt were also nominated.

It is a lot of hard work to start and maintain local business, says Poss. At the end of the day it is these organizations that make things happen in the community, she says.

“It’s an honour for the Humboldt and District Chamber of Commerce to help celebrate their successes and achievements.”

Poss welcomes everyone to join the celebration at the Mark of Excellence award ceremony on March 7 since this

Down the Aisle theReview Finding the right tux for the big day

BY CHRISTOPHER LEE JOURNAL REPORTER Weddings are an important day for most people, and making sure the groom is looking good when standing at the alter is an important part of the wedding.

Getting the right suit can go a long way in making sure the groom looks good, but how do they know they got the right one?

Anna Fisher, a member of Yuenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Humboldt, notes that grooms and their groomsmen should have some kind of an idea of what they are looking for.

Fisher notes they are there to help, but says it really comes down to what they want. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll help them pick the colours and show them what we We book

have for colours in the catalogue but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly up to them. They need to tell us exactly what they want.â&#x20AC;?

Colour is one of the keys to finding the right tuxedo, and Fisher says the important thing to remember of what the rest of the wedding party will be wearing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You usually try to match up to the dresses of the bridesmaids.â&#x20AC;?

When choosing colours Fisher says there is usually a formula to it.

She notes typically she finds tuxedos are rented with black pants, and a black jacket, but says she does see the odd grey ensemble.

When deciding on vest/Cumberland and tie colours, Fisher says usually the idea is to match

those colours with the colours of the bridesmaid dresses.

And finally the shirt, Fisher says there are three colours that seem to get used the most, with white being the most popular, and black and ivory also being in the mix.

Of course, style plays a large role in picking the proper suit.

With society changing, so too are the styles, which is something Fisher has taken note of, pointing specifically to the pants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Years ago it used to be the pleated front pant and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want that anymore. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a flat pant, slim fit if you can. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want big baggy legs at all.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly just a basic black theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going with but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the odd grey we will do for a wedding.â&#x20AC;?

While we are seeing more and more bowties popping up at formal social gatherings, Fisher says the wedding style is still the regular tie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even for grads I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see as much bowties. The boys arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t renting the bowties either.â&#x20AC;?

Choosing the right suit is important, and Fisher says anyone looking for more information regarding tuxedos, should stop in to a store to get more assistance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always got catalogues for them to look through and then even if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a colour they kind of are leaning towards and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not in the catalogue, sometimes the company will have it in stock. So we will make the call to the company just to find out for sure.â&#x20AC;?

BY BECKY ZIMMER JOURNAL EDITOR No matter the budget, there are always ways that brides can have beautiful flowers on their special day.

From bouquets to corsages, Lifewise in St. Brieux has all your wedding needs and can work with brides to make sure their flowers are beautiful and within their budget.

And Michelle Horvath prides herself in helping every bride find what they want. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to create their vision to suit their budget and if they have an open budget even better,â&#x20AC;? laughs Horvath.

But sometimes what brides want does not always match their budget, says Horvath, especially with so many brides using social media sites like Pinterest for ideas.

With examples online, not everything labeled as discount is actually discount and can be more difficult to create, she says, but with an open mind, Lifewise can still create beautiful bouquets in the brideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s price range. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got different options.

You might not be able to get your calla lilies and your orchids but if you really like a certain colour or theme, there are cheaper ways of getting that.â&#x20AC;?

Depending on the time of year, Horvath says some flowers are more difficult to get and can cost more than others out of season, for example peonies in winter or early spring.

There are always ways that brides can get flowers they want while cutting back the costs, says Horvath.

An entire bouquet of roses can be expensive, but if the bride is opening to adding other flowers to the mix, that can cut down the cost, she says.

Even substituting can mean less strain on the budget while still creating a beautiful look.

Focusing on colour options rather than specific flower types can open up the possibilities when it comes to creating bouquets.

Even if a certain colour matches the decor or the bridesmaid dresses, having colours that accent each other can break up the monotony of having one colour for everything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find it stands out better. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing blue, on blue, on blue, it gets a little repetitive so a little contrast sometimes looks a little nicer.â&#x20AC;?

Even having different shades can open up bouquet possibilities, says Horvath, with blushes and softer colours being a big seller right now in the flower industry.

And there are always other accents to add to arrangements, from jewels to wraps, that will use the colour the bride wants while still having flowers that act as a contrast.

For Horvath, she can predict when it comes to pricing out bouquets based on the brideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs but there are so many options that giving out quotes can be difficult with just a phone call. This why coming in for a consultation is important, she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting a )RU DOO \RXU ZHGGLQJ \ G J Ă RULVW QHHGV lot of people asking for quotes...thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so many variables we like the brides to come in.â&#x20AC;?

Communication is key when it comes to wedding day hairstyles

BY BECKY ZIMMER JOURNAL EDITOR Brides and grooms always want to look their best on their wedding day.

And Cutting Edge Salon in Tisdale can help both brides and grooms find their style for their special day.

Jacey Langen says it is all about communication between the bride and the hairdresser with plenty of time to get them style perfect.

Being a hairdresser herself, Langen was lucky on her own wedding day, she said, because her, and her two hairdresser bridesmaids, knew what they wanted and how to make it happen.

Trails for non-hairdressing brides are important because they will find out what they like, how it will look, and what needs to be changed long before the big day.

“It gives you an idea of what you want it to look like and if you go in ahead of time, you can say, ‘yes, that’s exactly what I want or I’d like to tweak this or change that.’”

Knowing the style before, as well as how it is going to hold up to wedding day stress, will keep brides from becoming bridezilla, laughs Langen.

For bridesmaids, their style is important as well, she says. While brides do not want to be trumped by their maids, a beautifully styled bridesmaid compliments the bride, says Langen.

“If the bride looks good, the bridesmaids are going to make her look twice as good if they look good.”

Styling takes time but their costs are not huge, says Langen, with their charge at $50 a head

for wedding day and formal styles. Considering Langen wants brides to come in for consultations and trial runs, she sometimes can split that $50 a head cost between the trial and the day to $25 for each session.

That may not be the same for all salons, so Langen advises brides to budget at least $100 a head for hairstyling.

“It seems like a bit, but from our side of the chair, it takes sometimes over an hour just to put these things together. We just can’t toss curls in a ponytail, throw it up and call it good. We have to do all the steps and make sure whether everything is going to sit nice or fall apart.”

Brides also have to think how their style is going to go on the day, including how their hairstyle will match their dress style, says Langen.

With some dress styles, anything can go, especially strapless, but other styles of dress mean they have to consider how their hair will compliment the dress.

“If you have a one-shouldered piece dress, you have to think do you want your hair to go down the one other side or do you want it to go up. It all depends on the style you’re trying to go for.”

With multi-coloured hair becoming a prominent trend, there is more to styling than just putting it up and calling it done, says Langen. There are more ways of making the hair colours pop that brides can consider for their big day style.

“Definitely with the multi-coloured hair, braids or curls are definitely the in thing just to show off the different styles of coloured hair. Then it

all depends on if you want to be more trendy or more classic.”

Ombre hair, with a more natural looking dark to light fade, is also trendy right now along with the loose curls, says Langen.

While men’s styles are lower maintenance compared to brides, Langen says that grooms and their groomsmen should still be coming in to get cleaned up. For grooms and groomsmen who are loyal customers, Langen is not too worried because they already know their style and can come in the day before or even on the day.

For first timers into the salon, Langen says they should be coming in at least a few days before to get ready and get some wedding day styling tips.

While groomsmen are less important than the groom, getting them looking good is important as well, says Langen.

“It’s always nice if you can get the groomsmen going in at least a day or two before and get them looking sharp and not like they just came out of the bush.”

And do not forget about those breads, says Langen, with a quick clean up another way they can make the groom and groomsmen look fresh for the big day.

As long as brides and grooms are willing to discuss their style and their vision before the big day, no matter what the style Langen says they can make it work.

“If they can bring us the style, the setting the goal, and the look they’re trying to achieve, it’s easier if they come in ahead and have a little chat with us.”

Maintain honeymoon beauty According to TripSavvy, 99 percent of couples who choose to have traditional weddings take a honeymoon.

Around 1.4 million couples in the United States depart for honeymoons around the world each year, spending an average of $4,466 on the trip.

Though not nearly as pressure-filled as wedding planning, honeymoons do require some planning to ensure a fun and memorable trip. In a Bridal Guide survey, wedding couples indicated they were most likely to worry about wardrobe, swimsuits, sunglasses, sunscreen, and luggage when getting ready to depart.

Couples who want to look their best on their honeymoon and in their honeymoon photos should not forget to pack the following items. â&#x20AC;˘ Sunscreen: Sunscreen is a must whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re traveling to the pink beaches of a tropical island or the slopes of a ski resort. Choose a product that protects against both UVA and UVB rays, and be sure to reapply every 80 minutes or so, especially after perspiring or swimming. Sunscreen will help prevent damaging and painful sunburns that can adversely affect a trip.

â&#x20AC;˘ Makeup-remover wipes: Even high-end resorts may not provide the correct face bar for removing makeup and refreshing skin.

Makeup-removing wipes can offer deep cleaning in a few convenient swipes. â&#x20AC;˘ Hair refresher: Brides who want to get a few extra days out of a wedding day hairstyle should pack a hair refreshing spray to tame static and add UV protectors that keep locks pampered until theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to wash. Dry shampoos also allow for a little refreshing of hair between daytime adventures and

evening dinner. â&#x20AC;˘ Eye cream: There may be a few late nights while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re enjoying romantic, candlelit meals or hitting up the hot spots around a resort.

Ensure honeymoon photos do not show tired eyes with an eye cream that can reduce puffiness and dark circles. â&#x20AC;˘ Tinted moisturizer or BB cream: A high-quality tinted moisturizer or BB cream will hydrate skin and add just a sheer wash of color to even out skin tone. Pair with lip balm and a waterproof mascara and your honeymoon face will be ready.

â&#x20AC;˘ Teeth whitening treatment: Couples who invested time and money into achieving whiter teeth for their weddings donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to let all of that hard work go to waste. Brush on whitening product after eating and drinking to prevent stains and freshen breath. â&#x20AC;˘ Blotting papers: Humid climates may cause perspiration and oils to leach out of the skin. Tame shine and that greasy feeling with blotting papers purchased from a cosmetics retailer. â&#x20AC;˘ Light fragrance: Heavy perfumes have no business on breezy honeymoon escapes. Find a light, flowery scent or something tied to nature, like citrus in a travel-sized atomizer. â&#x20AC;˘ Stick-on bra cups: To feel more stylish and comfortable in strapless and/or backless dresses on their honeymoons, brides can use stick-on bra cups that offer support and lift. â&#x20AC;˘ Travel brow kit: Keep brows tamed and looking great with mini-tweezers, brow filler and gel.

Honeymoon beauty is easy to achieve if the right supplies are brought along on the trip.

Seven million raised from Bell Let’s Talk Day

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Bell Let’s Talk Day on Jan. 31 raised nearly $7 million for mental health initiatives across the country.

“From midnight in St. John’s to midnight in Victoria on January 31, people in Canada and around the world sent 138,383,995 total messages of support – up over 5% over Bell Let’s Talk Day 2017,” said the Bell Let’s Talk press release.

Opening up this dialogue is very important says James Brayshaw who offers mental health first aid to companies and individuals across the province through Saskatchewan Mental Health Training and Support Teams based out of Saskatoon.

Bell Let’s Talk opens the conversation for so many, he says.

“When a conversation is open and questions can be asked then we can start looking for answers together.

That benefit is quite clear.”

Bell Let’s Talk has created this empathic look at mental health since we can talk about underlying problems, says Brayshaw. Their goal is to take on mental health stigma head on.

“By all means, conversation and dialogue and asking very meaningful questions about friends, family, and colleagues’ mental health is starting to come as a result of Bell Let’s Talk. And that a side from the money they’ve raised,” says Brayshaw.

Research into the causes of mental health issues is a wonderful trickle down effect from the Bell Let’s Talk fundraising efforts, says Brayshaw.

“When money goes into research through the Bell Let’s Talk programs, it benefits all of us because we gain a greater understanding of how mental health

issues develop.”

Niamh Menz with the Humboldt and District Community Services sees the need for mental health understanding as she works with people with disabilities on getting them into the workforce.

Mental health issues are something that Menz wants everyone to talk about in both personal and professional capacities.

Working with clients, Menz says they are always encouraged to disclosure their mental health issues with employers since that will create a better dialogue between them and the senior staff.

“It would be nice to see that employers recognize that there are 1 in 4 individuals who have a mental health interruption or issue at sometime in their lives.”

Checking in with employees on how their day is going and seeing how they can help their employees be more productive can help to relieve that pressure and stress of having to hide their feelings throughout the day, says Menz.

“When you help them release that guilt or that burden around them having a bad day or a time when they’re struggling, when you say, ‘I understand, I’m going to check in with you at the end of the day,’ they aren’t struggling all day to hold it all inside,” says Menz.

Even working with them on how they want to be more productive and manage their mental health is important, says Menz, with someone having a day where they just want to do desk work.

People want to have productive days and that can be done even if they are having a challenge day with their mental health, she says.

For many with mental health challenges, Brayshaw

says that is leading to other things because of the stigma that is still surrounding mental health, says Brayshaw.

In Saskatchewan, we have one of the highest rates of substance abuse in Canada and there is a much deeper underlying issue with that, he says.

“In most cases, anytime a region has a high use of substance use disorder, that should be a strong indicator that there’s probably some underlying mental health conditions driving it,” says Brayshaw.

The comorbidity of substance abuse being used to “treat” underlying mental health issues is becoming quite high, says Brayshaw.

“The substance abuse disorder is something that gets added in as we try to cope with our mental health conditions or disorders. The symptoms become something that aren’t manageable without some sort of extra support.”

Nobody should be using substances for support for their mental health but stigma toward mental health are keeping people from seeking treatment, including healthy interactions that promote positive thoughts and treatments, he says.

He and his team work with people to give them the tools they need to address mental health issues when they see it, says Brayshaw and comorbidity just starting to be understood.

“About 70 per cent of substance abuse disorders, there is a secondary mental health disorder that’s underlying it,” he says, since substance abuse is “teaching” the brain that alcohol or drugs are the method for feeling better during times of mental health crises.

“If we look at so many of the cases, it’s related to what the neurochemistry is doing,” says Brayshaw.

PORTEN: Michael Wayne Nov. 23, 1977 - Jan. 28, 2018 It is with broken hearts that the family of Michael Wayne Porten of LeRoy, SK, announces his passing at his residence on Sunday, January 28, 2018. He was 40 years of age. Mike was born on November 23, 1977, to Calvin and Connie (nee Hartman) Porten at Humboldt, SK. He was raised in LeRoy and spent countless hours at his grandparentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm two miles east of town. Mike attended LeRoy School from kindergarten to Grade 12. Following his high school graduation, he fearlessly headed to Calgary to join the work force and found employment in the sheet metal industry. In the fall of 1996, Mike returned to Saskatoon to attend Kelsey for Automotive Technician. This was followed by two more years at Kelsey to obtain his diploma as a Mechanical Technologist. Mike was then employed by 3M in Morden, Manitoba, until December 2000. He had a strong work ethic and a great love for prairie living, but a desire to travel and experience the world led him to Ping Tung, Taiwan, on December 26, 2000.

Mike spent 17 years in Taiwan travelling, teaching English, coowning the Beaver Dam Bar, creating lasting friendships, and meeting the love of his life. Mike married Tracy Lee on July 24, 2016, in Taipei, Taiwan. They loved spending their time together cooking, hiking, exercising, and gardening on their rooftop. Mike really wanted Tracy to experience Saskatchewan and all aspects of small town living and the farm, so they moved to LeRoy on May 24, 2017. Mike was a die-hard Leafs fan, an NFL enthusiast, a devoted husband, and lived everyday loving his family, his nieces and nephew, and his beloved cat, Marty. Mike will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Tracy (nee Lee) Porten of LeRoy, SK; his parents, Calvin and Connie Porten of LeRoy, SK; two sisters: Rochelle (Terry) Otsig of Allan, SK, and children Chloe and Ruby; and Megan (Aaron) Hermiston of Battleford, SK, and children Avery and Asher; his parents-in-laws, Nicole Sung and Mike Lee; sister-in-law, Joanne Lee; his grandmother Elsie (nee Findling) Hartman; and by numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was predeceased by his paternal grandparents, Gerald and Dorothea (nee Bonderud) Porten; and by his maternal grandfather, Alfred Hartman. The United Funeral Service was held at Holy Rosary Roman Catholic Church, LeRoy, on Friday, February 2, 2018, at 2:00 p.m., officiated by Rev. Brenda Curtis. Others taking part were: Shirley McGrath and Garret Porten, readers; Rochelle Otsig, eulogist; and Tracy Porten, urnbearer. Music ministry was provided by pianist Dulcie Kirzinger, and Kyle Dale performed a musical selection, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lost Togetherâ&#x20AC;?.

Honorary pallbearers were Aaron Hermiston, Terry Otsig, Troy Otsig, Dana Helgeson, Craig Olson, Dale Torwalt, Jeff Hartman, and Ryan Moore. Interment will take place at LeRoy Public Cemetery at a later date. Memorial donations may be directed to the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency, #200-4545 Parliament Avenue, Regina, SK, S4W 0G3.

Local school working to bring in immigrant students

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

It has been on the table for the past few years but Three Lakes School is getting the ball rolling on bringing international students to their school to study.

Horizon School Division Director of Education, Kevin Garinger, says they are pursuing the idea to see what opportunities exist. Three Lakes School in Middle Lake have specifically stated that they are interested in being a host school for international students.

Three Lakes principal, Trevor Otsig, says this is something that the School Community Council wants to use to grow their school numbers.

Three Lakes School has seen their school population take a dip in the last couple of years with a loss of 110 students in a 10 year period with 187 during the 2007-2008 school year down to 77 in the 2017-2018 school year.

Garinger says schools are thinking outside the box in order to gain some traction on slipping student numbers.

Bringing in international students, says Garinger, is taking advantage of students who want a quality English education in a wonderful school division.

Garinger is working with the division, the school, and the community council in order to

bring the program into Three Lakes since the program has to be run at the division level.

Garinger says he has a knowledgeable network of schools both in previous divisions and through Alberta education, who has already begun bringing in international students. These are people that Garinger says he can reach out to as they begin the process of creating these opportunities for international students and Saskatchewan schools.

Data gathering is the current step they are on, says Garinger, since the process itself will be extensive and expensive. They want to make sure they are on the right track before starting to invite students to Saskatchewan.

Since international students and families will want to get to know the school before paying the tuition involved in sending their students to Saskatchewan, Garinger says trips over to interested countries will also be a part of the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal is when we get to those places that there would be opportunity for those families to send their children to us and it would happen through organizations that are set up in places like China, Germany, Brazil. All those countries are very connected to Canada through international programs.â&#x20AC;?

There are also plenty of pro-

cesses that need to be put in place to protect students while they study away from home, says Garinger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got great people from great communities, we just have to go through processes to make sure everything is good that way.â&#x20AC;?

Even with the many steps to come before students are attending Three Lakes School, Otsig says that students will not lack support from both the school division and the Middle Lake community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The division supports our school 110 per cent with whatever is needed here...Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked to the mayor and village council about that and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on side with anything they can do to help out with our school here.â&#x20AC;?

Garinger is excited to start bringing these opportunities to international students but also sees the many benefits of bringing the program into Horizon Schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wonderful thing, of course, is the ability to bring children to Canada and into our schools and that connection with students from other countries.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the benefit.â&#x20AC;?

There is great opportunity with having Saskatchewan students interacting with students from across the world, says Garinger.

Members of the Aberdeen Knights lined up on the blueline during a ceremony retiring the number of Lake Lenore native Craig Hartl, who passed away on Jan. 28. photo courtesy of Anthony Hamoline

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

It was not necessarily a joyous occasion, but it was a special one for the Aberdeen Knights.

The Knights, who are in their first year of existence, retired the jersey of Lake Lenore native Craig Hartl at a ceremony prior to their Feb. 2 contest.

Hartl was in his first season with the Knights, before passing away suddenly on Jan. 28. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all kind of huddled together and talked about how good Craig wasâ&#x20AC;Ś it was pretty sad. We mourned all together,â&#x20AC;? admitted teammate Anthony Hamoline.

The ceremony to retire Hartlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jersey was bourne as a way to remember a guy who would do anything for the team, noted Hamoline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was amazing to everyone on the team, there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a select few he was good to. It was just everyone. And being from Lake Lenore not Aberdeen he just wanted to help out and see our brand new teamâ&#x20AC;Ś he just wanted to see it take off.â&#x20AC;?

While Hamoline serves as player and part of the management team for the organization, he notes it was often Hartl who would remind him of various

things that either they needed to do or could do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wanted to help out as much as possible so we felt it would be good to retire that jersey and give him the utmost respect that he gave to everyone else.â&#x20AC;?

That drive to help others was evident from the first time Hamoline met Hartl, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(I) didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know him for a long time and he introduced himself right when he came on to the team to help me out with fundraisingâ&#x20AC;Ś he was right there. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know his name. He was just saying we should get involved in schools and help everyone out. He just wanted to help all the time.â&#x20AC;?

That drive to help others is something Hamoline hopes people remember most about Hartl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A selfless person big time. He had a huge heart,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He definitely touched everyone on the hockey team, their heart pretty good. Even if you met him a couple of times he still made that impact.â&#x20AC;?

While Hamoline was glad the team was able to remember Hartl, he says he wishes they could have done more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like it almost wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, to be honest, because that guy would have done anything.â&#x20AC;?

How to save more for retirement after age 50 Whether it’s advice from their parents, a response to television ads urging viewers to save for retirement, or their own financial savvy, many of today’s young professionals recognize the importance of saving for retirement from the moment they receive their first paychecks. But men and women over 50 may not have been so practical, and many such professionals may feel a need to save more as their retirements draw ever closer.

Saving for retirement might seem like a no-brainer, but the National Institute on Retirement Security notes that, in 2017, almost 40 million households in the United States had no retirement savings at all. In addition, the Employee Benefit Research Institute found that Americans have a retirement savings deficit of $4.3 trillion, meaning they have $4.3 trillion less in retirement savings than they should.

Men and women over 50 who have retirement savings deficits may need to go beyond depositing more money in their retirement accounts in order to live comfortably and pay their bills in retirement. The following are a few simple ways to start saving

more for retirement.

• Redirect nonessential expenses into savings. Some retirement accounts, such as IRAs, are governed by deposit limits.

But others, such as 401(k) retirement plans, have no such limits.

Men and women can examine their spending habits in an effort to find areas where they can cut back on nonessential expenses, such as cable television subscriptions and dining out. Any money saved each month can then be redirected into savings and/or retirement accounts.

• Reconsider your retirement date. Deciding to work past the age of 65 is another way men and women over 50 can save more for retirement. Many professionals now continue working past the age of 65 for a variety of reasons. Some may suspect they’ll grow bored in retirement, while others may keep working out of financial need. Others may simply love their jobs and want to keep going until their passion runs out. Regardless of the reason, working past the age of 65 allows men and women to keep earning and saving for retirement, while also delaying the first withdrawal from their retirement

savings accounts.

• Reconsider your current and future living situation. Housing costs are many people’s most considerable expense, and that won’t necessarily change in retirement. Even men and women who have paid off their mortgages may benefit by moving to a region with lower taxes or staying in the same area but downsizing to a smaller home where their taxes and utility bills will be lower. Adults who decide to move

to more affordable areas or into smaller, less expensive homes can then redirect the money they are saving into interest-bearing retirement or savings accounts.

Many people begin saving for retirement the moment they cash their first professional paycheck.

But even adults over the age of 50 sometimes feel a need to save more as their retirement dates draw closer, and there are many ways to do just that.
