Withstanding the cold at annual fish smoker By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

photo by Christopher Lee Frigid temperatures did nothing to deter Ron Anderson from helping out at the annual Lake Lenore d fish smoker in Lake Lenore on Jan. 13. In total approximately 510 white fish filets were smoked over p tthe course of the day, with proceeds from the event going to the Lake Lenore Wildlife Federation and g tthe Lake Lenore Hall Board.

The temperatures may have been frigid but that didn’t stop people from flocking to Lake Lenore on Jan. 13 for their annual fish smoker. This year saw the smoker welcome approximately 400-500 people throughout the day to enjoy some of the 510 white fish filets that were available. All of the fish was pulled out of Lenore Lake during a three-day fishing trip from Dec. 1517, and was filleted and frozen. Then a week prior the fish is pulled out of the freezers to thaw and is seasoned the day prior to the smoker. The smoker is hosted by the Lake Lenore Hall Board and the Lake Lenore Wildlife Federation with both organizations using the smoker as a fundraiser for capital projects and basic operations. In addition to the two organizations taking part, the Lake Lenore Lions Club and the Lake Lenore Knights of Columbus also helped out, with the Lions holding a $1,000 giveaway and the Knights holding a quad raffle. Seeing both organizations help out as well, was great, says Schemenauer. “It’s great for the community that all the different organizations can get together and work together to raise money for the community.” Having the smoker is a great way to not only raise money, but it is also a great way to bring people into the community, says organizing committee member Alan Schemenauer. This year marked the 30th consecutive year the lake has been commercial fished, says Schemenauer, who noted they have seen an upswing in the health of the lake and its fishers in recent years. Schemenauer noted that in 1988 when they began fishing the lake commercially year-over-year production reached 4,400 kg of fish, with the average weight of the white fish coming in at 1.41 kg.

NAFTA change a learning experience for Saskatchewan By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Whether good or bad, there will be changes when Canada, the United States, and Mexico reach an agreement on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). And Saskatchewan businesses have to be prepared for that, says Steve McLellan, Chief Executive Officer of the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce. “Be aware that when you have a high reliance on a particular market if it’s in the U.S. to be cognisant of the merits of expanding your markets into other jurisdictions.� Especially when Canadian and Saskatchewan businesses

are dealing with U.S. suppliers and distributors, they may be impacted and having the deal renegotiated means a change in trading patterns that have been successful in the past, says McLellan. “It means we shouldn’t be reliant on a single partner. Yes, they’re a huge market. Yes, they’re right next door...new markets are always a good business practice.� Big Saskatchewan sellers to the U.S. will still be in demand when it comes to exporting, says McLellan. While it may be under different circumstances, McLellan is confident that Saskatchewan markets will prevail. However, this is still a lesson learned, he says. “We should diversify our markets and our supply chains. By doing so we’ll come out of this stronger no matter what happens with the actual deal.� The U.S. is Saskatchewan’s biggest trading partner by far, says Chris Dekker, Chief Executive Officer of the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership (STEP), with over 50 per cent of Saskatchewan exports shipped to the U.S. in 2016. Negotiating a new NAFTA has not been easy but progress is still being made, but “the fact that they’re still at the table is a sign of progress,� says McLellan. A new deal has yet to be signed as talks move to Montreal at the end of January after meetings in Mexico City in November and previous negotiations have gotten little done, says Dekker. At this point, Dekker is not sure where negotiations will take Canada and Saskatchewan but there are several points of contention continuing to stall negotiations with the independent settlement dispute mechanisms, supply management, and a possible renewal of the agreement after five years all on the table. Five years is a short time frame in which to see the agreement renewed, says McLellan, and could mean that long term deals are at risk in order to placate “short term political issues.� We cannot have that, says McLellan. “We’d need to have a dispute mechanism that is trusted and fair for all parties independent of politics or national priorities.� McLellan says Trump also sees a trade imbalance between the partners but Trump has to realize the importance Canada and Mexico plays in the United States market, says McLellan. “Technically there is a difference between how much we import and export. But the reality is that shouldn’t be a sticking point...The reality of it is Canada and the U.S. are great trading partners.� Even with the tension that is plaguing negotiations, McLellan is confident that a deal will be made. For McLellan, the best possible outcome would include all the elements that needed to be updated, like online payment processes, as well as long term deals with fair arbitration and dispute mechanisms well in place. Without a deal in place, McLellan says that Canada will be left to deal with just the U.S. and North America is not one trading area. Even with just a deal between U.S. and Canada, it would be a shadow of a deal without Mexico included, he says.

Be prepared when it comes to rabies risks By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Rabies is fatal and dangerous to both domestic animals and humans. And while there have only been nearly 20 reported cases of rabies in Saskatchewan over 2017, anyone with pets or farm animals should be prepared in case they ever have a chance encounter with a wild animal. Rabies is a disease of the central nervous system and can infect animals and humans, says Dr. Wendy Wilkins, Disease Surveillance Veterinarian with the Government of Saskatchewan. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a person, a dog, a cat, a cow, or a coyote, we’re all susceptible to rabies. Once the clinical symptoms of the disease occurs, it is always fatal.” In Saskatchewan there are two strains of rabies that are prevalent in rabies cases; the skunk strain and the bat strain. Both strains are prevalent in different areas of the province with bat rabies, when found, being located in densely populated areas of the province with increased populations meaning more chance of contact between humans and bats, says Wilkins. Skunk rabies is the more frequent strain found in Saskatchewan wildlife through interacting with infected animals.

According to the Saskatchewan.ca Rabies information page, infected animals will exhibit one or two types of behaviour: “dumb presentation, acting depressed or lame,” or “furious presentation. showing excitement or aggression.” “In wild animals we’ll see this aggressiveness, lack of fear from humans dogs, or cats. They might actually come into the yard and attack your dog. That’s quite a common road of exposure we found.” With domestic animals, it can be the opposite, says Wilkins, but overall it is a general abnormal behaviour. Rabies itself is transmitted through infected saliva either through wounds and scratches or licking of cuts and sores. “Animals, like cats, dogs, and skunks, lick their paws so the saliva might be on their claws. If they were to scratch another animal or person, the virus might be transmitted that way.” The best protection for humans that Wilkins can recommend is to make sure that domestic pets, especially those that spend time outdoors are vaccinated. “They’re most likely to come into contact with rabid skunks or bats because of their predatory behaviour or their curiosity.” By protecting pets, says Wilkins, owners are protecting themselves and their families from encounters

Withstanding the cold at annual fish smoker Continued from front page Today, the number of fishers have climbed from 46 licenses sold in 1988 to 74 licenses sold in 2018, with average weight of the fish reaching 2.13 kg, and the total amount of fish pulled out of the lake reaching approximately 58,500 kg. Throughout the course of the three days, a number of game fish, including pike, perch, and walleye were caught, but the fishers were unable to keep them as they were required to be turned into the game wardens. The wardens then use those game fish as a teaching opportunity in the schools, including teaching how to filet the fish, and the basic biology of a fish, before enjoying a fish fry. “It exposes the kids to a natural resource that we have very close by here,”

with rabies. Another protection method for humans is to never approach a wild animal, says Wilkins, since docile behaviour could be a sign of rabidity. “If it appears tame, stay away from it. That is not an invitation to pet it or take it home.” If there are any suspected cases of rabies, Wilkins encourages everyone to use the Rabies hotline at 1-844-7-RABIES (1-844-772-2437) or to call local conservation officials.

Abnormal behaviour that is possible signs of rabies: - Domestic animals may become depressed and try to hide in isolated places. - Wild animals may lose their fear of humans and appear unusually friendly. - Wild animals that usually come out at night may be out during the day. - Animals may have paralysis which commonly affects the face or neck, often seen as difficulty swallowing. - Animals may become excited or aggressive. - Animals may attack objects or other animals.

notes Schemenauer. A number of volunteers stepped up to help out during the course of the day, or in the lead up, which is great to see, says Schemenauer, who notes without the help they would never be able to host the event. Overall, Schemenauer was pleased with how the day went. “I was there until 5, the hall was right full in the afternoon and I guess in the evening from what I was told it filled up again and the DJ played until 2:00 a.m. when the hall was shut down. It was a good fundraiser.” In total, Schemenauer notes they were able to raise approximately $1,800 in fish donations, and approximately $15,000 once all of the money is tallied up.

Knights spinning on-ice magic in Vegas

By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

There’s a magic show on almost every corner in Las Vegas, from Criss Angel to David Copperfield, but pulling more rabbits out of a hat than anyone in Sin City has been the Vegas Golden Knights, the best National Hockey League expansion team in history. And that’s no illusion. This column has been three months in the making. At first, it was going to be about the Knights getting off to a great start but predictably fading back to the middle of the pack, eventually out of a playoff spot. They’re an expansion team after all. After a couple of weeks, with higher numbers in the ‘W’ column, this story was going to be about the amazing first couple of months the Knights put together and wasn’t it fun while it lasted? Now, it’s January, and it’s ridiculous. The Golden Knights are the best team in the NHL’s Western Conference, with no fall in sight. A

record of 28-10-2 on Jan. 6, an astonishing 17-2-1 at home. The Knights, under general manager George McPhee and coach Gerard Gallant and propelled by a bunch of players who were veritable ‘nobodies’ within their original organizations, have become somebodies on the Vegas strip. Bona fide contenders. Like William Karlsson, a third-line player with Columbus last year who had 20 goals by mid-season. Like goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, who had some success with the Pittsburgh Penguins before losing his job last year to Matt Murray. Like Deryk Engelland, a household name only in his own house, who has been a rock on defence and the face of the franchise after a sombre opening night when the Knights organization paid homage to the victims of the Oct. 1 mass shooting on the Strip. The Golden Knights have smashed every expansion team record ever thought of, and only the most pessimistic — or drunk — oddsmaker on the Strip would envision a scenario where they miss the playoffs. In fact — don’t laugh — the Knights are Stanley Cup contenders. Why? How is this possible, with a roster of rejects, third-liners, rarely-weres and hangers-on? One reason is simple: They work harder than any other team in the league. One opposing coach complained facetiously that the Knights were playing in October with playoff-style drive and that it was upsetting the applecart in the otherwise go-through-themotions-regular-season of

the NHL. Playoff style? By April, the Knights will be accustomed to that style of play, so watch out. Vegas may be overrun by rabbits — and playoff crowds — this spring. • TC in BC, on Las Vegas Knights’ stunning record on home ice: “Are they really that good, or does the policy of having the visiting team partake in the ‘two-drink minimum’ have anything to do with this?” • Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “Former pro wrestler The Rock, aka Dwayne Johnson, may run for president in 2024.

Viscount news By Sandra Reid Correspondent Jan. 8 began our first day in the new year to meet for Blankets for Canada. It was lovely to see each other and catch up on our two week break to see how everyone spent their Christmas and New Year’s. We are enthusiastic about 2018 and our hope is to meet most Mondays to make our blankets to give to the shelters in Saskatoon. 8”x8” knitted and crocheted squares are needed for this project. Forty eight squares are used for an adult-size blanket and 25 are used for youth/baby blankets.We invite everyone who may be interested to join us, or give Evelina a call at 306 944-4820 should you like more information. We are always happy to receive 8”x8” squares and any leftover yarn (no cottons or non-

washable wool, however). Happy New Year to all, from the ladies at Blankets 4 Canada! On Jan. 13, there were 12 people that attended the Viscount Seniors Fundraising Breakfast. Workers were Karen Dale and Chris Rault. John Dale was the Lucky Loonie winner. The Viscount Seniors are open every Monday afternoon for cards, cribbage, shuffleboard or pool from 1pm-3:30pm. Everyone is welcome to attend. This past Monday at the Senior Centre all that attended enjoyed playing cards, pool, crib and visiting. Best wishes to anyone that is under the weather, hope you soon feel better. Have a great week. Thank you to everyone that shared your news. I am always looking for more.

Who should be responsible substandard grain?

Calvin Daniels The concept of being able to trace a sample of grain back to the farm long after it has been in the grain handling system is an intriguing one. On the one hand such a system would seem

to be something that once fully achieved will ensure a safer food supply, or at least there will be the ability to more directly assign blame. It should be remembered that by the time you begin back tracking something to its farm of origin a problem has already cropped up. It is not preventing the incident that sparked the investigation, although it could prevent future issues from arising from a given grain bin if that was the initial source. While certainly there is a health safety element to trace back systems, a

greater motivator, even if those in the system don’t want to admit it, is who will be liable if the courts become involved. I recently read about a mock scenario where a ship filled with Canadian grain hits a foreign harbour where the grain is tested and the shipment is rejected because the samples exceed the maximum residue limit for a particular pesticide. There is a huge cost to such a scenario, and questions are going to fly regarding who is responsible. Now some will sug-

gest that is where tracing samples back to the farm comes into play. It might be argued if a company is loading a ship headed to a country with very specific tolerances for a particular pesticide they should have done sufficient sample testing when buying not to have to worry. Of course they might as well argue the farmers selling them grain are supposed to have met label requirements on any crop protection product so they need not have worried. Who should have carried out the due diligence to ensure the ship-

ment was not rejected can quickly become a legal matter, and then it will be up to lawyers and judges. And that has to make farmers shudder just a little. The grain handling system is a diverse one from the elevator to the rail lines to the ports, shipping companies, grain inspectors, and of course the company who made the pesticide. All are going to have deeper pockets in terms of any litigation than the farmer. Certainly one can’t argue against anything that stands to make the

food supply safer, but there is more at play here. The tolerances from herbicide and pesticide residues can vary country to country and are often imposed more as a trade boundary than a food safety measure, but they still matter in terms of trade. If that trade is impacted by samples missing the targets the system will look to protect itself from similar incidences as a minimum, and may eventually look to recoup costs if the system can find the smoking gun, even if that is at the farm level.

Benefits to minimum wage hikes By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Cities across the United States, including Los Angeles, Seattle and New York, have adopted a $15 per hour minimum wage. Ontario is bringing the issue to the forefront of Canadian politics with a 21 per cent jump in minimum wage this year alone, going from $11.60 per hour to $14 per hour. Another increase, scheduled for Jan. 1, 2019, will increase it to $15 per hour. This is a highly emotional issue that can raise fears including the loss of hours and benefits for workers and increase in prices for consumers. Many say that this change is going to hurt small businesses. However, an article by pressprogress.ca argues that not all of these fears are founded. Cities that have already increased minimum wage are seeing results that do not match these doom-and-gloom predictions. American studies from the last two years are showing that raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour is either having no impact or is actually increasing employment rates. A study from UC Berkeley Labor Center looked into increases Walmart has made –increases that give its workers a living wage of $12 per hour and puts its employees above the poverty line. If Walmart chooses not to add these costs to its bottom line, deciding instead to increase prices on goods, the wage increase

would result in an increase of a 1.1 per cent on prices. This would allow for increases of $1,670 to $6,500 per employee per year. How much would that impact consumers? “This works out to $0.46 per shopping trip, or $12.49 per year, for the average consumer who spends approximately $1,187 per year at Walmart,” according the study. The study also noted that Walmart workers earn an estimated 12.4 percent less than retail workers as a whole, and 14.5 percent less than workers in large retail in general. Too many working people today do not earn enough to cover basic necessities like rent, power and water. At the heart of this debate is the fact that minimum wage is not a living wage, which, according on the website livingwage.canada. ca, “reflects what earners in a family need to bring home based on the actual costs of living in a specific community.” The website calculated the living wage required to support a family of four in the Saskatchewan communities of Weyburn, Nipawin, Saskatoon and Regina. Workers need to earn between $15.17 per hour and $16.95 per hour to qualify as earning a living wage in those communities. The Saskatchewan minimum wage currently stands at $10.96 per hour. When workers earn a living wage, the benefits go beyond giving them the ability to cover expenses. There are economic benefits as well.

Imagine if people could spend money on (Melfort Only) more than basic necessities, that they could go to that small business down the street and purchase something. This would benefit all businesses. And according to pressprogress.ca, small business specifically would see improvements. “Why? Because, broadly speaking, lowwage workers are also consumers who will reinvest in their communities when they shop or go to restaurants.” A higher wage means more people would be willing and able to shop instead of just Regular Prices spending money on bills or using credit cards.

Age of reckless spending is upon us By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

Recently the Government of Saskatchewan released their quarterly budget review, and while the news was generally good, something stood out to me. For those of you who know me, you will know that I am what some people would refer to as a cheapskate. I have a rather hard time parting with money. So you will know that when it comes to government and their spending I am not a fan. So naturally when the government released their latest budget update it got me thinking. There was one particular aspect that leaped off the page at me. “At mid-year, the 2017-18 deficit projection is $679 million, $6 million less than the budget estimate of $685 million.” To some that seems like good news. And to a certain extent it is. The government is saving money. But the issue for me is that our deficit projection for this budget is $679 million. How is it that we can run such an extreme deficit? Now we have to give the Saskatchewan government the benefit of the doubt, in that all governments are currently running a deficit, but that is actually my problem. Why are all governments running a deficit? Is it just me or is that poor financial skills? According to a report released by the Fraser Institute in January 2017, the net combined federal and provincial debt in Canada has increased from $833 billion in 2007/2008 to $1.4 trillion in 2016/2017, a total of $526.6 billion or 63.2 per cent in just nine years. “This combined debt equals 67.5% of the Canadian economy or $37,476 for every man, woman, and child living in Canada.” Think about that for a minute. If a resident in Saskatchewan worked 40 hours a week at minimum wage, they would make $22,796.80, nearly $15,000 less than our current debt, and that is before tax. Not only does that put unnecessary burden on our economy but it also creates a problem where we spend exorbitant amounts of money on interest payments. According to the Fraser report, the Canadian governments, including local government, collectively spent $62.8 billion on interest payments in 2015/2016. “This is well above the $57.4 billion spent on pension benefits through both the Canada and Quebec Pension Plans (CPP and QPP). It is also close to the country’s spending on public primary and secondary education ($63.9 billion in 2013/14, the latest year of available data),” said the report. That works out to be more than $5 billion a month in interest payments. “That works out to 8.1% of their total revenue that year and $1,752 for each Canadian or $7,009 for a family of four. The total amount spent on interest payments is approximately equal to Canada’s total spending on public primary and secondary education ($63.9 billion, as of 2013/14, the last year for which we have finalized data).”

How on earth can we justify spending more on interest than we do on education? That is one of the largest problems with growing debt, we end up taking away money from important servicing costs, including healthcare, education, and social services to pay the interest on our debt. Growing up as a kid I thought, ‘geez, I don’t remember our deficits being this bad,’ and I was actually right. According to the Fraser report the federal government was able to reduce their debt by $92.7 billion between 1996/1997 and 2005/2006. “But in 2008/09, the federal government began running budget deficits, contributing to the $211.2 billion in added debt from 2007/08 to 2016/17. In other words, the federal government reduced debt for 11 years, but in just nine years has accumulated more than double the amount of debt it cut in those 11 years.” In Saskatchewan, our net debt has increased 55.5 per cent rising from $5.9 billion in 2007/2008 to $9.1 billion in 2016/2017. Currently, our interest repayment for debt in this province is $530 million, or $44.17 million a month, and in this country, an incredible $24.9 billion or more than $2 billion a month. “This represents about three-quarters of the revenue collected from GST alone ($33.5 billion),” says the report. “The amount spent on debt servicing costs is considerably larger than the $21.0 billion the government expects to spend on Employment Insurance benefits. It is also more than what the federal government expects to spend on transfers to Canadian families in the form of Child Benefits ($21.8 billion).” The scariest part of all of this, according to the Fraser report is there is no signs of our over spending slowing down. “Debt is poised to continue growing for the foreseeable future as several governments continue to project budgetary deficits and finance capital projects with debt,” noted the report. “In fact, several Canadian governments lack a plan for returning to a balanced budget. A notable example is the federal government, which has not established a target date for deficit elimination. In its latest projections (for the period 2016/17 to 2021/22), the federal government has planned cumulative deficits totaling $129.5 billion. Similarly, governments in Alberta, Manitoba, and Newfoundland & Labrador have no plans to eliminate their deficits.” The report went to note that while a number of governments have a target date set for a balanced budget, some of those are not on track. “For instance, there is doubt that the Ontario government will be able to achieve a lasting budget balance by 2017/18, which is its stated timeline (FAO, 2016). Other provincial governments, including New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, have at some point in recent years pushed back their planned date for deficit elimination.” Yikes.

Some help with those challenging new years resolutions

By Dr. Megan Parker, ND Health Columnist

How many of you have set New Year ’s Resolutions for 2018? I prefer to set goals rather resolutions. They seem less scary and more achievable to me. The dictionary defines a resolution as “a firm decision to do or not to do something.� A goal is defined as “the object of a person’s ambition or effort.� Not many people who set New Year ’s Resolutions are successful and often end up making the same one’s year after year. Making a firm decision or a set rule in your life can be very limiting and overwhelming. This often results in set-

backs or giving up after small failures. Goals signify something that you are working towards and changes you want to make in your life. A goal requires multiple unique steps and changes over time in order to be achieved or accomplished. Goals are never accomplished overnight. They take time and perseverance to achieve. While you already are an amazing person and don’t expect to change everything about yourself. But if you do choose to set resolutions or goals this year remember to be realistic with yourself. Set attainable goals that you know you’ll be able to stick

with and find success. Think of goals you’d like to reach that require you make small changes and sacrifices without forgetting your strengths. New Year, New You, right? Wrong! You don’t have to wake up on January 1st a whole new person. Your goals can take you weeks, months, or years to achieve. It’s all about the small changes and steps you make to get to those goals. And you’re going to have set-backs. Some days you will fail on your goals or take multiple steps in the wrong direction, but don’t take those set-backs as a reason to quit. Look at set-backs as a reason

to try again tomorrow. Be kind to yourself. We are all human. Don’t expect yourself to be perfect and be prepared for set-backs. Most importantly: don’t wait until you achieve your goal to be proud of yourself. Be proud of every step you take towards that goal. Wishing you all success with your health resolutions and goals in 2018. This article is intended for educational and information purposes only.

Broncos land offensive star at deadline Jan. 10 was an important day for junior hockey teams across the country and it was no different for the Humboldt Broncos. They were hard at work making last minute roster changes in the lead up to the Jan. 10 trade deadline. The Broncos made a quartet of moves prior to the deadline, waving goodbye to a pair of players and hello to two others. The biggest move made by the green and gold came with the acquisition of 20-year-old forward Nick Shumlanski from the Flin Flon Bombers. The Tisdale product comes to the Broncos with 155 games of SJHL experience, all with the Bombers, where he accumulated 40 goals and 83 assists for 123 points. In 35 games this season with the Bombers, Shumlanski has 12 goals and 27 assists for 39 points, good enough for 14th in SJHL scoring. Heading back to the Bombers are future considerations. Shumlanski admitted the news did not come as a surprise to him, noting that through conversations with his coach in Flin Flon he knew he was being traded it was just a question of where and when. “It was exciting for me. I was real excited to get up here. I came up here the next day and I was ready to get

things going.� Shumlanski brings a tremendous amount of offensive upside, notes assistant coach and general manager Mark Cross. “We saw a top end guy in our league who could really be a difference maker and we went after him pretty aggressively.� Shumlanski noted he knew there were a number of teams interested in his services, but said when he learned his new home would be Humboldt, he was pretty excited. “It wasn’t any disappointment or anything. I’m friends with a couple of guys I used to play with on this team so that kind of helped the transition.� Over the course of his hockey career Shumlanski has played with a few of the Broncos, including captain Logan Schatz and defenseman Bryce Fiske, and says he also knows Kaleb Dahlgren. Having that familiarity with some of the players is nice, says Cross, who notes Shumlanski has fit in already. “Especially approaching the playoffs you want that tight bond with these guys so I don’t see any issues that way and I think he’s going to be a big asset to our team.� In addition to the transition being easier due to knowing some of the players, Shumlanski notes that the transition has also been easier because he got to

stay in the SJHL. “It’s a little more comfortable because you’re more used to the rinks and you’re more used to who you’re playing against so that helped a little bit too,� he says. “I know Humboldt had a pretty good team this year so it was nice to get moved to a team that possibly has a chance at winning a championship.� The Broncos also bolstered their

blueline with the acquisition of 18-yearold defenseman Cale Cripps from the Olds Grizzlys in Alberta Junior Hockey League. “It’s a new opportunity, a fresh start after the deadline to prove myself and come in and hopefully make an impact with the team and see how far we can get,� noted Cripps of his feelings upon learning the news of the trade.

Review to determine cause of natural gas outage By Devan C. Tasa For the Humboldt Journal

SaskEnergy doesn’t know what caused a rupture in a high-pressure natural gas pipeline between Birch Hills and Weldon that knocked out heat to approximately 4,500 homes in the Melfort area. Casey MacLeod, a spokesperson for SaskEnergy, said there will be a review to determine the cause of the Jan. 10 and 11 outage. “We’ve pieced together the damaged pipeline and sent it away to a lab where they have specialists to look at the remnants of the pipe,� she said. “We won’t know what caused it for a couple of weeks.� The City of Melfort set up the Kerry Vickar Centre as a place where those that had no service could go to warm up. Service was restored by 7 p.m. Jan. 11. MacLeod said she didn’t know how old the pipeline was or if there could be similar breaks in the future that would knock out service for

customers. “We do run a system integrity and line inspection on pipelines throughout the province yearly and we do things like integrity digs where we’ll dig up certain sections of the lines throughout the province throughout the year to see what its condition is,� she said. The spokesperson said depending on what the results of the review are, SaskEnergy might do further inspections of the pipeline if warranted. Rick Lang, Mefort’s mayor, said his city was pleased with how SaskEnergy dealt with the outage. “Those circumstances come up from time to time. They’re unforeseen. They’re certainly reactionary; they’re not something that you can plan for ahead of time. When something like that hits, you deal with it the best you can,� he said. “From my perspective, I have to say SaskEnergy did an amazing job of getting everybody looked after in a timely manner.�

STARS scams spreading across the province By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Saskatchewan RCMP are warning of a significant increase in lottery scams occurring across the province. A significant number of these include scammers claiming to be a representatives from STARS Air Ambulance saying that the person has won a vehicle or a significant cash prize. “Everyone dreams of win-

ning a big lottery prize. Unfortunately scammers are known to take advantage of this and will attempt to manipulate people by falsely claiming they have won an extravagant prize and asking them to send payment in order to claim their prize,� said James Gudjonson with the Unity RCMP in an RCMP Press Release. When receiving calls from any lottery organization that

is claiming a person has won a prize, Gudjonson reminds people to remember three vital tips. Lottery companies will never ask someone to pay money to claim their prize, he says. “If you are being asked to send a cheque, money order, or payment of any kind to claim your lottery prize, it is a scam. Hang up the phone or delete the email.�

Anyone can call STARS to verify whether they have won or not, but Gudjonson warns to use the official STARS phone number or website and not the number given by scammers. “In Saskatchewan you can call 1-855-449-2444, or email info@stars.ca to see if you have actually won a prize, you can also visit http:// starslotterysaskatchewan. ca/ to check the list of official

prize winners.� And no matter who is asking for information, never give out personal information over the phone. “Please hang up, record the number calling, then advise your local police department or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501, or visit their website at http://www. antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/.�

Broncos land offensive star at deadline Continued from page 7 The 5’11â€?, 190lb Grande Prairie, Alta. native joins the green and gold after spending the first 30 games of his junior hockey season with the Grizzlys where he scored one goal and added two assists while piling up 89 penalty minutes. In exchange for the defenseman the Broncos send future considerations to the Grizzlys. “(We were) looking for a solid D-man with a little grit and that’s exactly what he brings to our game,â€? notes Cross. With the club holding nine 20-year-olds on their roster, Cross noted the club could not add another, and says having Cripps potentially in their lineup for two more years in exciting. “We heard nothing but positive things about his character, his work ethic, and then obviously his game on the ice as well. So to be able to bring in a kid like that to have him for two more years it’s huge for us.â€? Cripps joins the Broncos, knowing very little about the club, he admitted, saying he knew head coach Darcy Haugan a little growing up in the same area, but says he is unfamiliar with the players. “A lot of new faces here‌ I’ve met most of the guys and they seem great so I’m looking forward to the rest of the year.â€? Being a youngster and moving to a new province where you do not know many people is not always easy, but Cripps says the transition has not be too bad. “It’s a whirlwind for sure. A lot of different things, moving into billets, I had a (30-minute) skate before my first game so a little different getting used to all the different gear and the ice, everything so a lot of factors in there but I think it’s good so I can’t complain at all.â€? Cross noted the club had their eyes on both pieces, and says he was pleased with what they were able to do at the deadline. “I think both pieces will fit in really nicely.â€? In a separate deal with the Grizzlys, the Broncos traded goaltender Sam-Jaxon Visscher to Olds, in exchange for future considerations. Visscher was in his first season with the Broncos, appearing in nine games where he posted a 3.30 goals against average and a .882 save percentage. The Broncos’ busy day finally came to an end

In Memoriam

WEIMAN: In loving memory of a husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, Lawrence who passed away Jan. 18, 2012 God looked around his garden and found an empty place He then looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain He knew that you would never get well on earth again He saw that road was getting rough and the hills are hard to climb So he closed your weary eyelids and whispered, “Peace be thine� It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone For part of us went with you The day God called you home. Lovingly remembered by Corrine, David, Brian, Joan and families.

WEISGERBER: James George 1948 - 2017 James George Weisgerber (Jim), beloved husband of Caroline Winnona Weisgerber, passed away peacefully at the age of 69 on Saturday, December 16, 2017, at the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, AB, surrounded by his family. Jim was born to Betty Wingert and Jacob John (Jack) Weisgerber in Leroy, Saskatchewan. Jim was the oldest of 8 children. Jim moved to Calgary in the late 60’s to work at J.K. Campbell & Associates and attended SAIT to earn a diploma in Structural Engineering. After earning his diploma, he spent one year living in Hanna, AB, working as tax assessor and met his wife, Carol. Jim then returned to J.K. Campbell & Associates where he worked as an estimator. In 1985, Jim and his partners started their own business, Thermal Systems KWC Ltd. Jim married Caroline Bonertz on March 3, 1973, and together raised their two children in Calgary. Jim enjoyed spending his time at their home in Calgary, their cabin in Waterton, and their winter home in Mesa, AZ. He was a very active member of his community, spending his time volunteering with the Waterton Park Community Association, the Board of Directors for Country Hills Golf Club, the Addition Construction Committee for the Calgary Winter Club, and the Apprenticeship Board at SAIT. He belonged to the Alta Mesa Golf Club, the Waterton Lakes Golf Course and the Country Hills Golf Club. Jim was a wonderful, kind and generous man and a proud husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle. He enjoyed his collection of classic cars, golfing, reading, hobby farming, and spending time with his family and friends. His wisdom and advice will be sorely missed. Jim is survived by his wife, Caroline; their two children Christine Ross (Josh), and Grant Weisgerber (Carly Fox); his five grandchildren: Samuel, Nathan, and Niklas Ross; and Clare and Nora Weisgerber. Jim is survived by his siblings; Joan Thoen (Wayne), Dave Weisgerber (Darlene Derow), Pat Weisgerber (Shirley McIntosh), Steve Weisgerber (Debbie), Debbie Steeves (Brad), Shelly Buchanan (Charles), and Sharon Thiessen (Ron); his sister-in-law Ingrid Swanton (Keith), his brothers-in-law, Chester Bonertz (Pat), and Gordon Bonertz; as well as numerous nephews and nieces. Jim was predeceased by his parents, Jack and Betty Weisgerber, and his parents-inlaw, Cyril and Winnona Bonertz. Jim’s family would like to extend a special thank you to the doctors, nurses and staff of Pod A of the ICU Unit at the Foothills Medical Centre. In Memoriam

BERSCHIMINSKY: Leonard Mar. 13, 1939 - Jan. 8, 2018 The death of Leonard Bershiminsky of the Carmel District, SK occurred at Royal University Hospital, Saskatoon, SK on Monday, January 8, 2018. He was 78 years of age. Leonard Stephen Berschiminsky was born March 13, 1939 at the family homestead in the Carmel District just 3/4 of a mile north of Leonard and Marilynn’s current farm home. Leonard was the youngest of 9 children born to John (born August 23, 1903, Novodvorowka, Mariupol, USSR) and Anna (Grenz) Berschiminsky (born May 29, 1897, Marienpole, USSR). He grew up on the family farm where, beginning at a very young age like all farm kids from that era, he was required to perform tough manual labour. He attended Highgate School near Carmel where he completed his Grade 8 education. He was also a member of the school softball team. Leonard met Marilynn Ehalt at the opening of the Stoney Lake pavilion in 1959, the beginning of a lifelong love. They were engaged on Valentine’s Day of 1963 and married July 13 that same year at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church in Humboldt, Saskatchewan. Shortly after their first baby, Lora, arrived in 1964, followed by Brad in 1965, Wes in 1966, and Clint in 1967... yep they were busy. Some of Leonard’s early employment included Kloshinsky Electric, Federal Grain and Searle Grain Corporation, prior to becoming a full-time farmer and moving to the current family farm in 1973. While farming he also had part-time employment with Brockman Concrete and Esso/Dunham Crop Services. He was also an active member of the R.M. of Humboldt #370, and was counsellor for Division 3 from 1992 to 2002. His greatest passion was music - he enjoyed playing accordion, keyboard and guitar. He had the remarkable gift of being able to pick up an instrument and, with a bit of practice, play any song by ear. He took great pleasure in dedicating countless hours to learning a new tune. He used his given talents to fix pretty much anything and build/create/invent things - from electric ice augers, a motorized 3-wheeler made from a SnoCruiser snowmobile, hockey nets, handheld grill for open fires, decorative plant stands, sunflowers, and anything else you can imagine...almost always created from old machinery parts. He was most creative with a welding rod in his hand. He was the neighbourhood handyman and was called upon time after time to rectify any problems with plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and heating. He was a sausage-making and smokehouse connoisseur as well as an expert at the barbecue. For anyone that had the privilege of enjoying Leonard’s bbq’d treats, it was always “the best you’ve ever tasted� and if you didn’t know that he would make sure to tell you. He was a man of the land which was apparent in his love of farming and caring for the land. In between the nooks and crannies of farming, he also took great pride in the fruits of his labours derived from tending to the family garden. All these passions will live on in his children/grandchildren although getting to Dad’s level will be a challenge. He had an uncanny ability to tell and remember jokes, always followed by his very unique infectious laugh. Many will also remember him for perfecting his craft as a practical joker. When you remember and think of Dad, we hope it is with a smile on your face and laughter in your heart. Leonard will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by his wife of almost 55 years, Marilynn (nee Ehalt) Berschiminsky; their four children and nine grandchildren: Lora (Rudy) of Fulda, SK and family, Dustin (Maegen), Rheanna (Morgan); Brad (Lana) of Saskatoon, SK and family, Ethan and Isa; Wes (Dallas) and his family, Bryce, Blake and Bray of Humboldt, SK; Clint (Lara) and their family, Jordan and Jenae of Saskatoon, SK; 3 sisters: Sr. Delphine Berschiminsky, OSE, of Saskatoon, Elizabeth Daschner of Humboldt and Agnes Dyck of Hope, BC; and 1 sister-in-law, Marcella Berchiminsky of Watson, SK. He was predeceased by: his parents, John and Anna; three brothers, Nick, Peter and John; two sisters, Mary Fetter and Madeline Hornback; brothers-in-law; Leo Daschner, Carl Fetter and Irvin Dyck. A Funeral Mass was offered on Friday, January 12, 2018 at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church Humboldt, SK at 10:00 a.m., celebrated by Fr. Michael Yaremko and concelebrated by Fr. Paul Paproski, OSB. Others taking part were: Ethan Berschiminsky, cross bearer; Colette Rheaume and Maegen Urdal, scripture readers; Jenae Berschiminsky, intentions; Jenae Berschiminsky, Ethan Berschiminsky and Isa Froese, giftbearers; Pat Engele and Vernice Engele, memorial table attendants; Dale Family with organist Dolores Hinz, music ministry; Leonard’s children and grandchildren, eulogists. Honourary Pallbearers were “All those who had the honour to be a part of Leonard’s (Lenny’s) life.� Active Pallbearers were: Dustin Fraess, Rheanna Fraess, Bryce Berschiminsky, Blake Berschiminsky, Jordan Berschiminsky and Bray Berschiminsky. Interment will take place at a later date. Memorial Donations may be directed to the St. Augustine Parish Center or the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Schuler-Lefebvre Funeral Chapel.

Obituaries HIEBERT: Anthony “Tony� Sept. 16, 1933 - Jan. 9, 2018 The death of Anthony “Tony� Hiebert of Humboldt, SK occurred at his residence on Tuesday, January 9, 2018. He was 84 years of age. Tony was born to Joseph and Blontina (nee Still) Hiebert on September 16, 1933 in Humboldt, SK. Tony attended school at Deer Lake until Grade 8, and then attended HCI until Grade 10. Upon leaving school he worked on the family farm and then went up to the gold mines in the North West Territories to work during the winter months. During the summer months he ran an HD11 Cat and Scraper for the Saskatchewan Department of Highways. In 1960, Tony and his brothers formed a heavy equipment business and worked in many different provinces. In 1983, Tony and son, Brad, ventured out on their own and bought land in the Brooksby area, north of Melfort, which is still the family farm to this day. Tony and Brad also began their own heavy duty construction business. Tony married Ruth Lemmerich on June 18, 1960. They were blessed with four children, Shelly on June 16, 1961; Carolyn on July 7, 1963; Brad on November 2, 1965; and Marlene on June 28, 1967. Traveling was an integral part of Tony and Ruth’s life, whether far or near. As a treat after harvesting and before spring seeding they would venture out to see the world. They visited over 30 countries, 6 of the 7 continents, always wanting to meet the “real people� of that country. Tony loved talking and never let language be a barrier to meeting new people. In the mid 1970’s Tony took flying lessons, eventually purchasing an airplane of his own. He had lots of fun flying Ruth to many meetings throughout the province, and flying over to the neighbors for coffee! Although never trained as a woodworker, Tony respected the art and loved making many treats for his children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. All pieces are greatly valued. Tony was an avid reader and was always well aware of current events, politics in particular. Tony was a founding member of the 4th Degree Knights of Columbus for the Humboldt Council. Family gatherings were so very important for Tony and Ruth, producing many cherished memories, fantastic conversations, and amazing meals. Tony had a great connection to the land, whether growing grain, gardening or picking from his fruit trees. Tony believed that happiness was actually found from the simple things in life. Tony will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 57 years, Ruth (nee Lemmerich) Hiebert; children: Shelly Le Franc; Carrie Hiebert (Glenn Mueller); Brad (Shelley) Hiebert and children Cole and Carter; and Marlene (Keith) Wilson and children Bryn and Kieran. Tony is also survived by two brothers: Ray (Marie) Hiebert and Harold Hiebert; two sisters: Margaret (Gordon) Lux and Loretta (Randy) Dobmeier; brother-in-law Gordon Lemmerich; sister-in-law Phylis Sinclair; and numerous nieces and nephews. Tony was predeceased by his parents Joseph and Blontina (nee Still) Hiebert; sisters: Lillian and Bernadette; brothers-in-law Richard Forer and Jim Sinclair; sister-in-law Adele Lemmerich; and son-in-law Camille Le Franc. A Funeral Mass was offered at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church Humboldt, SK on Friday, January 12, 2018 at 2:30 p.m., celebrated by Fr. Michael Yaremko. Others taking part were: Cole Hiebert and Carter Hiebert, crossbearers; Benji Schlosser and Leo Altrogge, altar servers; Bryn Wilson and Glenn Mueller, scripture readers; Shelley Hiebert, intentions; Shelly Le Franc, Carrie Hiebert, Brad Hiebert and Kieran Wilson, giftbearers; Jenny Irwin and Elaine Verhelst, communion ministers; Marlene Wilson, eulogist; Karen Lemmerich, memorial table attendant; director Loretta Schugmann, with organist, Marie Aubin and members of St. Augustine Parish Funeral Choir, music ministry; Cole Hiebert and Carter Hiebert, urnbearers. An Honor Guard was formed by members of the Knights of Columbus 3rd and 4th Degree. Memorial Donations may be directed to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the St. Augustine Parish Centre.

Joe and Muriel believed strongly in the social fabric of their community and enjoyed many card games and sing-alongs with friends and neighbors throughout the years. They also became active bowlers after a bowling alley was brought in to the St. Gregor Community Centre. In addition, they enjoyed many card games and board games throughout their children’s youth and adult years as well. Card games were always a staple of any family get-togethers.

HASLBECK: Doris Agnes May 30, 1941 - January 2, 2018 The death of Doris (nee Fouhse) Haslbeck of Humboldt, SK occurred on Tuesday, January 2, 2018 at the Humboldt District Hospital. She was 76 years of age. Doris, the only daughter of Andrew and Agnes (nee Dircks) Fouhse, was born on May 30, 1941. She was the baby of the family, with four older brothers. The family lived on the farm near Spalding, until moving to Humboldt in 1948. Mom got her education at a small schoolhouse near Spalding, the Humboldt Collegiate Institute and at the Bruno Academy. She worked for a few years at Sears before marrying Mike Yager in 1966 and becoming a stay-at-home mom. Mike passed away in 1968, leaving Mom with a daughter and two sons to raise. Mom remarried in 1971 to Peter Haslbeck and another daughter was soon added to the family. The next years were spent raising a family, keeping up with a large vegetable garden and camping in the summer, visiting friends and family, and snowmobiling in the winter. A good book, cards or a puzzle were often close at hand. Once the grandkids and eventually the great-grandkids began arriving, they became her main focus. She enjoyed spending many hours with them playing cards and board games.
