Team S. Anderson managed to squeak out two victories in the final games of the 2018 Viterra Scotties Women’s Provincials, winning an event mostly dominated by Team Silvernagle and Team Eberle.

Team Silvernagle placed first in the round robin of the provincials, which ran from Jan. 2 to 7, winning seven out of eight games. Team Eberle place second with victories in six out of eight games.

Team S. Anderson, Barker and Lawton tied for third, winning four out of eight games. “It’s an extremely even field here,� said Christie Gamble, Team Eberle’s third. “I’ve competed in a lot of provincials, I’ve seen a lot of competitions, I don’t think you’ll ever find a provincial that has the same parity as this particular event does.�

In the playoffs, Team Barker defeated Team Lawton in a tiebreaker, Team S. Anderson defeated Team Barker in the 3 vs. 4, Team Silvernagle defeated Team Eberle in the 1 vs. 2., Team S. Anderson defeated Team Eberle in the semifinal 6-5 with an extra end and then repeated that performance to defeat Team Silvernagle 7-6 in the final during an extra end. “Nothing was going through my mind until after the shot was made and then it was pure joy,� said Sherry Anderson, Team Anderson’s skip. “It’s hard to describe the feeling when you win a championship. I know how bad it feels when you lose and I’ve had that feeling over the years way too many times.�

For veteran curler Anderson, it’s her ninth women’s provincial and her seventh title.

Team Anderson win Viterra Scotties Women’s Provincials Continued from cover As for the rest of her team, it is the first time at the provincials for lead Karlee Korchinski, 22; the third time for second Krista Fesser, 23; and the second time for third Kourtney Fesser, 23. It was the first time all had won before.

“It was kind of surreal. We came in here, we were ranked eighth, so to be in this spot right now, it’s pretty special. I’m super proud of our team,” Korchinski said. “It’s what every curler dreams of and for us to be doing this at 22 and 23 is pretty amazing.”

Anderson said she began having a young team three years ago after she had finished playing with Stefanie Lawton’s team.

“A couple of them changed and then I got Krista last year. The two

that I had last year, one moved away and one took a year off, so we got Krista’s twin sister Kourtney, and Karlee. They had all played together before, so I said sure.”

Anderson said she’s pleased with their great performance at the event.

Krista said that key to their success was just sticking with it.

“They got a deuce in the first, so we were just making sure that we were making the high percentage shots and sticking with the game and the game plan,” she said.

“Keeping hammer in even ends was really huge for us and the fourth and ninth was also really huge.”

Team Anderson got a single point in the third and fourth, Team Silvernagle got two in the fifth, both teams earned one point each in the sixth and seventh, Anderson got two in

the eighth and one in the ninth. Silvernagle got one in the tenth, tying the game.

“We played well. We made a lot of good shots,” Anderson said. “We got a deuce and we put a bunch of pressure on them in the ninth end and we were able to steal one and that gave us control of the game – late.”

As for that last shot, Krista wasn’t quite sure at the time if it would score the final point.

“On her last shot, she threw and Karlee and I thought it was a little light and then when we went end to end, we saw it hit the four foot,” she said. “We didn’t even see where it stopped. We knew that it won the game and it was a pretty awesome moment from there.”

Korchinski said she thought the

key to their success was keeping calm.

“I know there wasn’t a bunch of pressure on us, so for us it was just going out there, shoot and have fun and good things happened.”

As for Kourtney, she thought the key was patience.

That was a really patient game from us. I think we knew if we could get it close at the end that we [could do it]. We’ve had the patience all year to grind it out at the end as a team.”

Anderson said Team Silvernagle were good opponents.

“They played really well all week and I thought they had a pretty good game that game. There wasn’t a bunch of shots that they’d like to do over,” she said. “I think it was a well-played game by both teams.”

Melfort gets rave reviews for provincials

By Devan C. Tasa For the Humboldt Journal

Fans, curlers and the organizing committee alike were pleased with how the 2018 Viterra Scotties Women’s Provincials went.

Corrie Fischl, chair of the event’s organizing committee, said she thought everything went fantastic: the weather outside, the volunteers, the ice and the attendance.

“From what we saw, it was way far better attended than the last provincial event we held, so

we’re just really happy with it,” she said.

All throughout the event, held Jan. 2 to 7, the curlers participating in the event said they were pleased with the event and how it was organized.

“The city of Melfort and the volunteers are doing a fantastic job,” said Christie Gamble, Team Eberle’s third, on Jan. 4. “This is an absolutely wonderful event. The ice is fantastic, the volunteers are fantastic, great ticket sales and we’re just so excited and happy to be playing in this and we really want to thank the people of Melfort who put all of this together.”

Robyn Silvernagle, Team Silvernagle’s skip, expressed similar sentiments Jan. 5.

“It’s been a great event so far. The ice has been amazing, the host committee – everyone – has been so good. You can’t ask for any more than that, when you have optimal conditions to be your best.”

Even the winners said what they thought about the event, unprompted, just after their final victory.

“We can’t say enough good things about the facility and the ice all week,” said Krista Fesser,

Team S. Anderson’s second.

“It was a good event. The host committee, volunteers, everyone was amazing.” said Kourtney Fesser, Team S. Anderson’s third.

Fischl said having good ice for the curlers to play on was key.

“The ladies all had really good things to say about the ice and so that’s really important in a provincial event like that,” she said. “You want to make sure that they can compete at the best level possible. You want to give them the best to play on.”

The Melfort Curling Club aims to raise $50,000 from the event. While the numbers are yet to be calculated, Fischl said she believes they’ve met – if not exceeded – that goal.

The organizing committee chair acknowledged the support from the Melfort community and from the fans from both inside and outside the city.

“Hopefully that means that our club, as well as other clubs in the area, will just continue to bring these types of events to the area because they’re fantastic events to hold to highlight your community.”

Holidays see new consumption records broken

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Extreme winter cold was part of the reason for another power demand record broken, says Jordan Jackle with SaskPower. “At 5:42 p.m. on December 29, 2017, the total system load reached 3,792 megawatts (MW),� says Jackle, a 45 MW increase over the last record set on Jan. 12, 2017 of 3,747 MW. The Jan. 12, 2017 record was the second record high that month and “came after new records were hit twice already that month. Saskatchewan broke the summer record twice in July of 2017, and then again in August with a peak load of 3,470 MW.�

Record breaking power usage is nothing new with yearly records set.

However, in recent years records are being broken multiple times a month.

SaskEnergy also reported all-time natural gas usage records broken during the Christmas season, said SaskEnergy in a press release.

The 24-hour period between 9:00 a.m. on Dec. 29 to 9:00 a.m. on Dec. 30 saw 1.5 PetaJoules (PJ) of natural gas being used, breaking the previous record set during the 2016/2017 winter of 1.3 PJ. The average Saskatchewan home uses 102 GigaJoules of natural gas in a yearly period but extreme cold is causing an increase in use and higher customer volumes.

Jackle says that the early evening is the time when most records are broken with people returning home from work, plugging in vehicles, and starting to make supper.

With the demand in usage and the number of customer on the rise, Jackle says SaskPower is investing a billion dollars a year in updating and growing their infrastructure. “There is an increasing demand for power in this province. We are planning and acting on that.�

SaskEnergy also says that they are experiencing a growing consumer base, especially in the industrial customers and power plants. “SaskEnergy’s system is designed around this increased growth, ensuring additional capacity so that even on peak record days, the system is able to provide more natural gas than required,� said the press release.

Jackle says they are also recommending ways in which customers can save money by being conscientious of their usage.

Especially this time of year, some power saving tips include turning down the thermostat when no one is home. With many modern thermostats, degree changes are programmable. “If you drop it a degree or two or whatever you’re comfortable with during the day and having it climb later in the day, it could save you a good amount of money,� says Jackle.

A quarter of residential power bills goes towards cooling and heating so drops in temperature can mean savings throughout the year.

In cold months when vehicles need to be plugged in, vehicles only need about four hours of plug in time to keep it running during the winter months. Having the vehicle on a timer can mean savings of about $25 a year, says Jackle.

With less daylight means more hours where we need lighting in our homes. Lighting less and lighting smarter can mean less money going towards lighting with energy efficient LED bulbs available, say Jackle.

NHL teams readying for Tavares sweepstakes

By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

John Tavares, perhaps the most underappreciated superstar in the National Hockey League, will find out this summer that he’s truly appreciated after all when he becomes a free agent.

There will likely be 31 teams, including his own New York Islanders, trying to woo the 27-year-old with a truckload of money because he is eligible to be signed with no strings attached, no compensation required.

Signing Tavares without having to give up a comparable star or a slew of prospects or high draft picks would be like winning a major lottery for the NHL team lucky enough to get his signature on a contract. It’s like Mike Trout going on baseball’s open market, or Kevin Durant given the right to offer his services to any NBA team.

Which sweater he will be wearing next season could be one of the most intriguing stories in the NHL during the next few months, leading up to the July 1 date when he officially becomes free to sign

with anyone.

Tavares was a boyhood, McDavid-like phenom in Ontario when he was a young teen.

The Ontario Hockey Association tabbed him as someone to watch by allowing him to play in the major junior league at the unprecedented age of 15, and he responded with 45 goals to lead the Oshawa Generals in scoring. At age 16, Tavares scored 72 goals in 65 games and if NHL bird dogs weren’t drooling before, they were slobbering all over their scouting papers in 2005-06.

Tavares spent a mandated two more years in junior — ages 17 and 18 — and tallied 42 and 56 goals respectively before becoming the slam-dunk No. 1 pick in the 2009 NHL draft by the Islanders.

Since then, surrounded by mediocrity, Tavares has had a rather quiet NHL career, with 256 goals in 623 games through Christmas. Three trips to the playoffs didn’t accomplish much: no advancement past the second round.

Now that he has become eligible for free agency, NHL teams are lining up. Tavares

is second in NHL scoring this season, trailing only Tampa’s Nikita Kucherov, and the combination of Tavares and Josh Bailey (third in the scoring race) has helped the Islanders become the second-highestscoring team in the league.

The Islanders recently announced plans for a new arena in Belmont Park, N.Y., which would be a big improvement from the team’s current Brooklyn location and speculation was that the new rink would be a development Tavares would welcome, leading to his signature on a long-term contract with the Islanders.

Meanwhile, let the free agent hype begin. No matter what happens, Tavares will soon be a wealthier man and the team he chooses will be one step closer to the Stanley Cup. • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Russia has been banned from the 2018 Winter Olympics for systemic statesanctioned doping. Officials suspected something was amiss when the women’s skis tested positive for moustache wax.”

• Comedy writer Jim Barach:

“Vince McMahon is thinking of bringing back the XFL, the sport combining the NFL and WWE. It’s the one where it is legal to sack the quarterback by hitting him in the back with a folding chair.”

• Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “Lavar Ball says he will start a basketball league where top high school prospects get paid $10k a month instead of going to college. Well, except for players at some colleges that might be a pay cut.”

• Dwight Perry again: “Hiphop mogul Sean “P. Diddy” Combs says he wants to buy the Carolina Panthers — and sign QB Colin Kaepernick.

Odds of other NFL owners letting that happen, insiders say, is even smaller than the Browns’ winning percentage (.033) the past two seasons.”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald, on Warriors star Steph Curry teaching an online basketball class: “This is a little like walking into driver’s ed and learning the instructor is Dale Earnhart Jr.” • Comedian Argus Hamil-

ton, on Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield’s mea culpas this year for bad language, planting the OU flag on Ohio State’s 50-yard line and grabbing his crotch: “He’s just an apology for sexual misconduct away from earning his degree in government.”

• Brad Rock in the Desert News: “Noted helicopter dad LaVar Ball told SiriusXM NBA Radio that a recent five-game losing streak by the Lakers could have been fixed if teammates would ‘drop their egos and just listen to what I’m saying.’ Why isn’t this man negotiating with North Korea?”

• Jim Barach again: “Johnny Manziel has received league approval for a contract in the Canadian Football League.

Apparently they feel living in Cleveland for two years has more than paid off his debt to society.”

• Fark.com, after the Chiefs became just the second team in NFL history with a 4,000-yard QB and 1,000-yard RB, WR and TE: “Still, much like Santa, they have a fat guy in red that will disappear in January.”

Bad reputation on wheat hurting markets

Calvin Daniels Agriculture Columnist

Hailing from a region of Canada long-known as ‘the Breadbasket of the World’ because of the wheat grown here on the Prairies, as a farm writer I have been rather keenly aware of the importance

of wheat.

The region was basically developed to grow the crop, and the export of high quality wheat has been an integral part of the region’s economy from the time of the earliest settlers.

But, in recent time’s wheat, which predominantly becomes flour, with a key product of that flour being white bread, the crop has lost some of its shine in terms of consumer interest. Certainly wheat flour remains important, and bread and related products are part of most of our diets, but it is not always seen by consumers as the healthi-

est option today.

In part because of the health concerns wheat, which once dominated farm crop rotations in western Canada has seen a decline, with canola, a crop noted for producing healthy oil, taking over as the key crop.

But farmers here can’t just abandon wheat either. The region is ideally suited to its production, and farmers here are also expert at its production.

That combination makes it a crop well-suited to being produced in a way that means a reasonable return on crop inputs investment.

Research may hold

the key to at the very least allowing wheat to maintain its current acres in terms of overall cropping, and it could push the crop back to the top of the heap in terms of importance as well.

There is little doubt moving forward agriculture will see new varieties of a variety of crops offering new properties that did not exist at viable levels to be useful. The new properties, whether achieved through traditional plant breeding methodologies, or by genetic modification, are going to push many crops into new and exciting niche markets.

Take for example a new type of wheat being grown in the Idaho, Washington state and Oregon in 2017. According to a recent article at www.producer.com, “the wheat is high in amylose, a type of dietary fibre that benefits digestive health and helps ward off Type 2 diabetes.

“Flour from the wheat is being marketed in North America as HealthSense.

“Australian scientists, in collaboration with French researchers, have been working on the high fibre wheat since 2006. They formed a company called Arista

Cereal Technologies to commercialize the wheat and its unique health traits. Bay State Milling has the licence to sell the wheat and flour in North America.

“The Australian and French team of scientists boosted the fibre content by controlling two enzymes within wheat (using a conventional breeding approach).”

Whether the new wheat emerges as a major development is not the key here, but rather that its development of something new for a very old crop to open new markets based on current consumer demands.

Let us take a critical look at the media

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Welcome to 2018.

In my last editorial, I mentioned that one of my wishes for 2018 was for people to become more informed.

This is a time of heightened emotions and stress, especially when you consider potentially explosive situations such as the relationship between United States President Donald Trump and North Korean President Kim Jong-un.

I hear a lot of critisms of how the media covers stories of such a serious nature.

Who is perpetuating the problem?

Who is staying silent on certain issues?

Who should not be trusted because they lean more to the left or right on the political spectrum?

Everyone, whether a member of the media or not, has their own personal biases, and these can colour how each one of us see the news.

Whether the story is coming from Fox, CBC, MSNBC, CTV, Global or CNN, we need to start taking a critical look at what is being reported.

This critical way of looking at news stories is not something people exercise all the time.

Before I go on, I will admit that I am not blameless myself.

Sometimes I am too quick on that share button. I do not take the necessary steps to explore what I am sharing and checking whether it is true or not.

I am also sometimes too set in my own opinions, which is not good either.

We can all do more to check our own biases at the door whenever we are watching the news or reading an article.

So how do we do that?

I recently listened to a CBC panel that included Piya Chattopadhyay, Anna Maria Tremonti and Duncan McCue: all three journalists with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field. They were discussing the journalism world, and plenty was said

about how we are dealing with biases in a time of “fake news”.

The best advice came from Chattopadhyay, who said that the best thing we can do is just listen.

“We need to listen to the people we don’t agree with the most. We need to hear them and hear why they’re coming to how they think.”

There is a lack of empathy in the world, Chattopadhyay said, and we can all learn a little bit more by seeing other sides of a story.

Empathy is a two-way street. Everyone deserves the same courtesy, and deserves to be listened to, even when it’s difficult for the listener.

This can be extended to media articles. It’s easy to only read or watch stories that confirm our own point of view; it’s much harder to do the same for the opposing side of an issue.

Comparing what CBC, FOX and CNN are saying can give new or different information and can help people see the story from different angles.

It’s interesting that television personalities such as comedian John Oliver are becoming more trusted than many other sources of news in American journalism. And it’s important to note the Oliver cites his sources, including government documents and other primary sources.

More and more fact checking sites are popping up online as well, where anyone can double check what they are hearing or reading.

As with news sources, it’s important to find one that not just makes claims but also backs them up with real documentation and evidence.

We need to be our own fact checkers and do the work to get the full story.

When we do, we can make our own decision about whether a news story is fake, or just viewed from a different angle.

Chattopadhyay said it best: “The loudest voice isn’t always the right one.”

Getting set for winter fun Taking advantage of winter

At five years young, Ella Saufert is already out helping grandpa, Bruce Huls, get the trails ready for the Naicam Snowblasters Snowmobile club.

All 219 snowmobile trails are marked excluding two short trails, says club president, Audrey McMillan with improvements made to current trails and plans to make new ones. According to a report on Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association (SSA) on Jan. 4, 292 km of trail around Naicam are marked and 280 km of trail is groomed. Wayne Lilledo with the Kelvington Trailblazers says their club is almost done marking their 450 km worth of trails around Kelvington, including around Rose Valley. Lilledo says they should also be out grooming the trail by the end of the week.

According to SSA, trails around the Archerwill area are open and ready to go with 160 km of trails marked and groomed. photo courtesy of Audrey McMillan

The snow may have been lacking but there was enough for a good snowmobile run during the St. Gertrude Poker Rally on Jan. 6. The rally will raise money for local charities and families in need. Further north in St. Benedict, snow conditions were better for their poker rally to raise money for the St. Benedict community centre.

Obituaries CROSS: John With heavy hearts, the wife and family of John Richard Cross announce his peaceful passing on December 31, 2017 at the age of 68. John, the eldest of nine, was born in Melfort, SK on July 30, 1949 to Edward and Winnifred Cross and was raised on the family farm near Pleasantdale, SK. Upon graduation, he attended the University of Manitoba where he achieved a Bachelor of Environmental Studies. His talent for design was nurtured and shared at Muttart Homes in Regina, the architecture firm of Forrester Scott Bowers Cooper Walls in Saskatoon, Humboldt Lumber Mart, Bourgault Industries, and Doepker Industries. John lived his passion for design and architecture through his business Cross Country Designs - creating many one of a kind homes, businesses, and churches.

He and his wife Maxine also owned and operated Cross Country Distributors in St. Brieux for 8 years to complement John’s design business. At a New Year’s Eve dance on December 31, 1973, John reunited with his high school sweetheart Maxine Prete and they were married on October 5, 1974. They lived in Saskatoon until the birth of their daughter Nicole in 1977, then moved to Lake Lenore for a short time while John designed and he and Maxine built their home by hand on the acreage near St. Brieux in 1979. They were blessed with the birth of their second daughter Jynell in 1980. Growing up with eight siblings and numerous cousins to tease and play with at the farm and at his grandparents’ resort at Stoney Beach on Lake Kipabiskau, John’s roots were his family. He built his own family around traditions - tucking his girls into bed every night with prayers, an annual family fishing trip to Jan Lake, adorning the house with garlands and setting the yard aglow with hundreds of Christmas lights, family road trips with a general destination but no particular plan in mind, wandering the acreage with his grandson Kewin collecting rocks and riding the old Oliver 88 tractor together, and playing horsey-goes-a-trotting with his granddaughter Varenna “Papa’s Baby Girl�. John shared his kindness generously and greeted everyone with a hug whether they wanted one or not - that is how he expressed the gifts of his warm heart and unconditional love.

John will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by his wife Maxine Cross; his daughter Nicole Cross and grandson Kewin Sommerfeld; his daughter Jynell Cross, son-in-law Adam Stachelek and granddaughter Varenna Stachelek; his siblings, nieces, and nephews - Dan Cross (sister-in-law Kathy Cross, Danielle, Jamie, Shane), Robert (Bonnie) Cross (Lynn, Marni), Catherine (Brian) Bradley (Aaron, Anita, Theresa, Amanda, Brianna), Karen Cross (friend Brian), Margaret (Arlen) Reed (Christopher, Geoffrey, Dana), Emily (Don) Kjelshus (Jennifer, Sara, Jackie, Lindsay), Reg (Leslie) Cross (Scott, Kacey, Corrin), and Kim (Rebecca) Cross (John); his parents-in-law Alvin and Stella Prete; his sisters-in law and their families - Beth (Terry) Newberry (Darren, Staci), Pauline (Allan) Holtvogt (Brett, Holly); numerous great nieces and nephews; and lifelong friends John and Donalda Gerstmar and their family. John was predeceased by his parents Edward and Winnifred (nee Wilkins) Cross, sister-in-law Rae (nee Arnett) Cross, and infant nephew Robert Shane Cross. The Funeral Mass for John was held at St. Brieux Roman Catholic Church at 2pm Saturday, January 6, 2018. A private interment will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider memorial donations to Kermaria Cemetery Fund, Kinsmen Telemiracle, or St. Brieux Manor. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Malinoski & Danyluik Funeral Home, Humboldt.

THEISSING: Lawrence Aug. 10, 1932 - Jan. 2, 2018 The death of Lawrence Bernard Theissing of St. Mary’s Villa, Humboldt, SK occurred at Humboldt District Hospital, Humboldt, SK on Tuesday, January 2, 2018. He was 85 years of age. Lawrence was born August 10, 1932 to Henry and Adelaide (nee Niebrugge) Theissing on the family farm in the Willmont District.

He attended Keller School taking grades one to eight there after which time he quit school to help on the family farm. He also worked for his uncles as well as some of the neighbors. Lawrence worked for the R.M. of Humboldt for several years before joining a construction crew working for John Ilg and Ed Michael who built homes in the Middle Lake area. One of the biggest jobs they had was building Canadian Martyrs Church in Middle Lake. On July 15, 1965 Lawrence married Lois Scheck, they lived in Humboldt and after a year moved to the farm. He continued to farm until 1992 at which time they rented out their land. In 1994 Lawrence and Lois moved to Humboldt to help care for his aging mother. Lawrence always loved the land so when they moved to Humboldt they didn’t have a backyard; they had a garden which he spent many hours taking care of. Flowers really weren’t his thing, (you couldn’t eat them). Lawrence enjoyed playing cribbage with his friends, curling and watching Blue Jay games. With the onset of Alzheimer’s in 2012 many things became difficult for him. Lawrence became a resident of St. Mary’s Villa in June, 2016 which became his home until Christmas Day, 2017. Lawrence passed away peacefully at the Humboldt District Hospital on Tuesday, January 2, 2018 with Lois and Harold by his side. Lawrence will be lovingly remembered by his wife Lois (nee Scheck) Theissing; sister Armella Koob and her family, Gwen (Kevin) Roach; Gerald (Charlotte) Koob and their children: Ashley, Cole and Kayla; Lois Sowa and her family, Kathryn (Chris) Kramer and their children: Paisley and Mason, and Morley Sowa; Merle (Curtis) Gibson and their children: Ryan and Rhett; brother Harold (Carleen) Theissing and family, Amber Zolc, Christopher (Kayle) Hannotte and their children Sadie and Corbin, and Katelyn (Kenton) Peterson and their children Kaleb and Kohen; brothers-in-law Denis (Merilyn) Scheck and their children: Darryl and Devin; Brian (Joan) Scheck and their children: Geoff and Matt; Ron (Janet) Scheck and their children: Lisa and Ken. Lawrence was predeceased by his parents, Henry and Adelaide (nee Niebrugge) Theissing; brother-in-law, Alfred Koob; nephew, Lonnie Sowa; and parentsin-law Manny and Lucy Scheck. A Funeral Mass was celebrated at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church, Humboldt, SK on Saturday, January 6, 2018 at 10:30 a.m., presided by Fr. Michael Yaremko.

Others taking part were: Kathryn Kramer, crossbearer; Merle Gibson and Rita Theissing, scripture readers; Katelyn Peterson, intentions; Gwen Roach and Lois Sowa, giftbearers; Maxcine Pickering and Alma Muench, memorial table attendants; Loretta Schugmann as director with organist Dolores Hinz and members of St. Augustine Parish Funeral Choir, music ministry; Musical Tribute by Kristen Raney and Dion Niebrugge. Pallbearers were: Sheldon Becker, Chris Hannotte, Cory Cody, Gerald Koob, Dennis Scheck and Brian Scheck. Interment followed at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Cemetery, Humboldt, SK.

KUNZ: Celestine Ann Nov. 10, 1927 - Dec. 26, 2017 Celestine (Sal) Kunz was born November 10, 1927 to Alois and Theresa (nee Ebert) Ehalt, and passed away peacefully at Humboldt District Hospital on Tuesday, December 26, 2017. She grew up along with her 6 siblings on the family farm near Annaheim SK, and attended Annaheim School. Growing up in the 30’s, she helped on the farm, milking cows, tending to the farm animals and the large garden.

Upon completing school she continued to help on the farm as well as assist her older siblings with their young families. She enjoyed curling and playing ball in her youth. In fact, it was at one of her ball games where a young man named Norbert Kunz, who attended nearby Bunker Hill school, took time off from digging a grave to watch the game. Not long after, they started dating. Norbert would pick Sal up in his Model A car and they’d go to local dances and parties. They got married on September 20, 1948 and built their first house in Annaheim and started a family of their own in 1949. Sal was a busy homemaker, raising 5 children, tending a large garden as well as assisting Norbert as he expanded his farm (in addition to his full time job as school district construction foreman). Sal was also an active community member in the church, recreational facilities and the CWL. Sal and Norb enjoyed getting together with friends and family for a good card game as often as they could, and as years passed, took great pride in watching their children start their own families. Shortly after Norb’s passing in 2000, she moved to Humboldt. She lived in Caleb Village until 2016, when she moved to St Mary’s Villa. She participated in the social activities at the Villa, and also kept very busy knitting. The day before she passed away, she made sure each of her children and grandchildren received a knitted gift for Christmas. Sal continued to impress family and friends with her incredible memory, right up until her passing. If there was a forgotten name or detail from the past that needed clarification, Sal was the go-to person to get the facts straight. Sal always enjoyed socializing and a good party, and happily celebrated her 90th birthday in November with many of her friends and family present. Christmas was always an important time of the year for Sal, and her family always got together to celebrate every year. The family is certain she planned her departure from this life at Christmas time so all of her children and grandchildren could gather and be present one last time to wish her a happy farewell.

There is more to throwing a medal into the stands than poor sportsmanship

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

The end of the holiday season also means the end of the World Junior Championships, and after what feels like an eternity - in reality it has only been since 2015 – Canada is back on top of the world junior hockey world.

But it was something that happened after the game that seemed to get all of the attention.

After losing the world junior title Swedish captain Lias Andersson removed the medal from around his neck and tossed it into the crowd to a fan.

Naturally this caused a lot of reaction from around the hockey world, some positive, some negative.

A lot of the people who are in the hockey world chalked it up to a young kid making a mistake he should not have made.

But what I keep hearing from fans is that he was acting childish.

While I certainly agree that his actions were not the most sportsmanlike I disagree with the notion that he was being a poor sport.

We have to remember that this is a freshly turned 19-year-

old.

How many 19-year-olds do you know act responsibly all of the time?

We seem to get caught up in the bluster that is a young celebrity, but what we forget is that they are still kids.

All of us were teenagers at one point so we should all know what being a teenager is all about.

As a teenager myself I did not always have the best attitude, in fact there were a number of days that in hindsight, I was a rather difficult child to deal with.

Sorry mom and dad.

But it is true, teenagers are far from perfect and in a lot of ways still have a lot to learn.

For some strange reason though, as soon as children become celebrities of some kind they are held to a different standard.

Whether children are actors, singers, athletes, or any other kind of celebrity we expect them to act several years above their age.

Which for most teenagers is tough.

Based on my own experiences I can tell you there is a large gap in maturity levels between a 19-year-old male and a 22-year-old male.

So how can we expect someone to act so far above their age level?

While I understand that a certain part of our expectations for those children is based upon public relations, either for themselves or for whatever their business is, whether it be a movie, or a play, or a team, it is still not right.

Yes, he acted out.

But the thing a lot of people seem to lose sight of is the fact that he is also showing passion.

How many people like losing?

I know “winning” a silver medal, or as some people like to call it “losing the gold medal”, is supposed to be a big deal, but for a lot of people, especially a teenager, in the heat of the moment the only thing you can think of is, I want the gold, not this.

So unfortunately for Andersson instead of simply removing the medal and giving it to the trainer to hold on to he tossed it to a fan.

Afterwards he explained his actions noting, that he had lost the U18 gold medal final a few years prior and had not looked at the medal one time since then.

He also noted that the fan

seemed to want the medal more than he did so he wanted him to have it.

Maybe a little tongue-incheek but there is a couple of layers to unpeel from that onion.

What stood out to me was that he really did not want the silver medal.

And why should he?

He should want gold.

In the heat of the moment we should all be unhappy with losing.

Now Andersson never mentioned this but I think his medal toss served another purpose.

Andersson served as captain of the Swedes like I mentioned before, so his medal toss also could be viewed upon as a message sent.

The Swedes have not lost a round robin game at the

world juniors since the Dec. 31, 2006, a span of 44 consecutive games, yet in that time they have just a single gold medal, five silver medals, one bronze, and four fourths.

That is unacceptable given the success they have enjoyed in the round robin.

Consider it a message sent to the Swedish hockey federation and to the players.

Finishing second is not good enough.

Is it right?

No, but it could have been a lot worse.

Kids will be kids.

A large portion of being a kid, and in fact life, is learning.

You make mistakes and you learn from it.

If Andersson was able to learn a thing or two then that is all we can ask for.
