Seventeen communities had a special visitor to coffee row as Kelly Block took advantage of the parliamentary break to tour her Carlton Trail - Eagle Creek constituency.

The Canadian parliament will return to their first session of 2018 by the end of January, so Block took time speaking with her constituents on her New Years Tour from Jan. 15 to Jan. 19.

This included stops in Cudworth and Wakaw on Jan. 16 and Bruno, Muenster, Englefeld, Lake Lenore, and Humboldt on Jan. 18.

For Block, the goal was to get into communities, meet with constituents, find out what the issues are that concern them the most. Not just in their own community but across the province and across the country.”

Issues varied from community to community with small business taxes, summer job funding and the abortion attestation, and marijuana legislation on the forefront of discussion.

The Canadian government is committed to bringing these things forward, says Block, and how they address concerns and questions from Canadians is going to be a matter of time.

It is up to the opposition to ask the questions that their constituents are asking, says Block, and “ensure that their concerns; from the business community, individuals, and other organizations, to make sure that we’re asking the right questions of the government and holding them to account.”

Moving forward, Block will be taking these issues to both her regional and national caucuses and share with her colleagues the issues that concern her constituents. Enough of a response means that the Conservative party will be forming a national response to certain issues.

Issues on tour Carbon Tax The Liberal government is committed to establishing some form of carbon tax, says Block.

Provinces are being required to have tax plans in place by the fall of 2018.

Marijuana The Liberal government is committed to the legalization of marijuana, says Block. Now it is just a matter of time to see how concerns from Canadians are addressed.

With many concerns coming forward, Block does not see legalization coming as of July 1.

This is an issue that is going to be addressed at all levels of government, says Torwalt and he hopes that all levels of government can work together to share ideas and share revenue.

This is a great opportunity for business, says Torwalt. “There’s always going to be concerns with the social aspects and policing but it’s going to happen. We’re going to have to accept it and not put our heads in the sand.�

Summer Job Attestation St. Therese Institute’s executive director Vicky Serblowski, attended the Bruno stop at the Bruno Cafe to speak with Block about the summer job funding.

As a sponsor of the Bruno Cherry Festival, putting on the festival would be nearly impossible without a summer intern. However, under new regulations with the Canada Summer Works Program, applying for funding would mean having to attest to supporting for abortion and LGBTQ+ rights. “We, as a Catholic organization and myself personally as a Catholic, we cannot sign that.�

She had the opportunity to discuss the issue with Block, who agrees that this is a concern. “Organizations are required to sign off on certain values and views that they may not hold just to access funding under that program,� says Block.

Brady and Brooke: some names to watch in 2018

By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

With 11 months and a week or so to go in 2018, let’s have a look at some athletes who will undoubtedly be part of the news cycle before the calendar flips to 2019. We’ll do it alphabetically, so as to not offend a potential member of this list whose surname happens to start with X, Y or Z. — Tom Brady: The 40-yearold quarterbacking marvel of the New England Patriots continues to defy traditional aging norms to perform at the highest level possible on the NFL’s best team. His sixth Super Bowl crown, coming in February, will never be surpassed.

— Josh Donaldson: Chances are this popular slugging third-baseman with the Blue Jays will be with another team come August, because the Jays are going nowhere and Donaldson’s diminishing skills and new large contract are helping them get there.

— Roger Federer: Another ageless wonder in the Brady mold, the Swiss tennis star continues to amaze in what is traditionally a young man’s sport. At age 36, his next Grand Slam title will be his 20th, cementing his title as his sport’s Greatest Of All Time.

— Brooke Henderson: There’s no slam-dunk No. 1 player in the women’s world of golf (a handful of golfers occupied the No. 1 position at various times in the past year alone), so there’s no reason why Canada’s sweetheart can’t rise to the peak of her sport this year.

— Kaillie Humphries of Calgary, the best female bobsledder in the world, was a gold medal winner at the 2010 and 2014 Olympics and she’s still at the top of her sport, so why not a bobsled gold medal hat trick in February?

— Kevin Koe: Skipping Canada’s men’s curling team at the Winter Olympics brings

with it the expectation of gold, and Koe will deliver. He’s won two world titles, proving along the way that no one is more clutch with the game on the line than this guy.

— Johnny Manziel: The Kardashian of the football world brings his talents and playboy reputation to Hamilton to give the Canadian Football League some People Magazine-style attention.

He’ll create positives in the media and at the gate, but the jury’s still out on how he’ll do on the field. And Manziel knows all about juries.

— Marie-Philip Poulin: Likely the least known name on this list, Poulin is the captain of Canada’s women’s team in the South Korean Winter Olympics. She plays on a Canadian team that is the favourite to win gold. Too bad the same can’t be said for the men’s team.

Norman Chad of the Washington Post, on NFL commissioner Roger Goodell: “Here are three jobs I know Goodell could do well: Maitre d’, Peter Luger Steak House, Brooklyn. Concierge, Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua, Hawaii. Toll taker, New Jersey Turnpike, Exit 8.

He is uniquely qualified for these positions — the first

two, you just stand all day and look good; the other one, you just stand all day and take people’s money.”

Chad again, on continued excellence of an aging Patriots quarterback: (Tom) Brady, in his 18th NFL season, has had a passer rating of 100 or better the past three years – and he just turned 40. When I turned 40, I wanted to hire someone to tie my shoelaces every morning.”

Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “Richie Incognito has been named to the Pro Bowl. Finally a reason to watch a Pro Bowl: to see if the offensive guard bites anyone.”

Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Italian fourth-division soccer player, Giovanni Liberti, has been suspended five games for urinating toward the opposing team’s fans. What, no yellow card?”

Dickson again: “A New Orleans Saints season ticket holder is suing the team over player protests. If unhappy fans can sue NFL teams Cleveland Browns season ticket holders are sitting on a goldmine.”

Jimmy Fallon of NBC: “Congratulations to Alabama, who overcame a 13-point

deficit to win the College Football National Championship! Man, I’m just happy to say the words ‘Alabama’ and ‘13’ and not be talking about Roy Moore.”

Sign spotted at the Cleveland parade ‘honouring’ the 0-16 Browns: “Hey, LeBron, can you play quarterback?”

Dwight Perry again: This month’s major lottery winners at a glance: Powerball ($560M): not yet revealed; Mega Millions ($450M): Shane Missler, Port Richey, Fla.; NFL ($100M): Jon Gruden, Oakland, Calif.

Comedy writer Jim Barach, after ex-WWE star Christy Hemme gave birth to quadruplets: “Or as that is called in the wrestling business, forming her own tag teams.”

Comedian Argus Hamilton, on why the College Football Playoff title game can’t be named after President Trump: “The Orange Bowl was already taken.”

RJ Currie of sportsdeke. com: “Did you see Lightning forward Tyler Johnson scoring against the Canes with both skates off the ground? I guess switching to right wing really did elevate his game.”

Quick hellos and goodbyes on crop diversity

Calvin Daniels It seems increasingly that crops may come, and crops may go, when it comes to what Canadian Prairie farmers grow.

Certainly over the

years a number of new crops have burst on the scene with the promise of helping farmers diversify, only to fade quickly away when markets prove difficult to access or develop.

But even crops which have long been part of the cropping mix fluctuate in terms of relevance on the Prairies. We have seen hard spring wheat relegated to a crop of convenience. It is now seen as a reliable, if not preferred cereal crop for rotations, but has slipped from being the foundation of farms

here, that role now solidly taken by canola.

Most other crops have become largely niche ones, grown by farmers when the market signals flash that demand might spike enough to make them attractive.

Or, grown in limited acres to meet specific niche markets particular producers have secured.

The issue moving forward will be whether research will keep pace in many crops in terms of varietal development to meet the needs of a changing agricultural landscape.

We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada.

While big companies are quite happy to research canola, soybeans, and corn, all high-values, huge acre crops ensuring the chance to recoup developmental investment dollars, they are less likely to focus attention or dollars on minor acre crops.

Producers of course do play a role in research with organizations focusing attention on the specific needs of particular crops, and in a number of cases funding research through sales check-offs.

The issue will be if

the small crop organizations survive in order to continue the work they have been doing.

In at least one case the writing may be on the wall. After 32 years of representing the interests of the flax sector, the Flax Council of Canada’s Executive Committee recently announced the closure of its office in Winnipeg, effective Jan. 31.

The Flax Council of Canada is a national organization, funded by a voluntary export levy.

the advancement of Canadian flax and flax products including nutritional and industrial uses in domestic and international markets.

The organization has said it will continue to operate on a reduced service basis, but the closure is not a good sign.

While this has to be worrisome for the flax sector specifically, it should be a concern over the broader agriculture sector in terms of what may happen in terms of small crop developments in the years ahead.

Katimavik is back and it is coming for your kids

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

The Katimavik program was started in 1977 as a youth employment strategy for young people ages 17 to 21, living and working together in communities across the country.

The program was cut in 2012 but the Canadian government announced on Jan. 16 the development of the new Canada Service Corps, which will include funding for youth-based services, including Katimavik.

I was a participant in 2005-2006 and had an amazing experience.

At 18 years old, Katimavik gave me the opportunity to travel to Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland, working with non-profit community organizations and meeting people from different parts of the country with different backgrounds and even different languages.

At 18, I had a small view of the world. Katimavik expanded that view by showing me a different vantage point.

We were just one small piece of a large puzzle that has involved thousands of youth since 1977.

But participants are not the only ones who benefit from the program.

Diverse groups and organizations were the recipients of our volunteer hours. We held full-time volunteer positions with theatre groups, schools, daycares and service organizations such as United Way. We volunteered for side projects over the weekends or held participant-led workshops that focused on the environment, leadership or other educational goals of the program.

There is a playground in Shawinigan, Que. that was brighter for the

weekend we spent painting it.

There were kids at a camp who had their summer improved by our visit.

The Stephenville Lions Club was richer for our participation in their fundraisers.

These kinds of benefits are hard to see when you only look at the bottom line.

According to the 2011-2012 annual report, the final report on the program, over 1,000 youth between the ages of 17 and 21 participated in 54 communities across Canada.

During that program year, according to the report,â&#x20AC;&#x153;Katimavik provided over 600 not-for-profit organizations with nearly 660,000 hours of service to benefit those communities.â&#x20AC;?

The report concluded that, for every dollar invested into the program, communities where Katimavik operated saw a return was $2.20.

In March 2012, the government cut the program.

The cut came two years into a threeyear funding promise, almost immediately after a government review praised the program.

The program had been funded by the Ministry of Canadian Heritage.

Then-Heritage Minister James Moore said that cutting funding for Katimavik was the easiest decision he ever made.

The decision led to some intent backlash, with people both inside and outside the Katimavik world taking a stand for the program.

Miles Corak wrote an article in The Globe and Mail, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ottawa killed Katimavik â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and missed boat on youth jobs strategy.â&#x20AC;? In it, he took the government to task. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The recent federal budget was an opportunity to redefine, re-orientate,

For critics who were saying at the time of the cuts that the program spent too much money, this time around participants will have to contribute $1,000 worth of fundraising to take part in the program.

While this may be necessary, no one can say yet if that might deter lowincome youth from applying.

However we go forward with the program, I am still very grateful to everyone who fought to bring the program back.

Opposition NDP and Liberal parties also decried the elimination of the program.

Both went to bat for the program, noting the benefits to Canadian youth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Katimavik shows youth that they do matter and that they can make a difference,â&#x20AC;? said New Democrat MP Charmaine Borg (Terrebonne-Blainville). â&#x20AC;&#x153;It builds responsible, engaged citizens.

As someone who benefited greatly from the program, the fact that new funding has been established means that young people will again be able to benefit from the program.

University of Saskatchewan names vice-provost of Indigenous engagement

Jaqueline Ottmann

The understanding and knowledge gained through the inclusion of Indigenous content and experiences at the U of S will help create better and more respectful relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and aid in building a stronger community overall. It will also give all people the opportunity to explore new ways of thinking and learning that aren’t present in traditional Western teaching.

With that in mind, the University of Saskatchewan

has brought back alumna Jacqueline Ottmann, who is Anishinaabe (Saulteaux) and a member of Saskatchewan’s Fishing Lake First Nation, to serve as the university’s first vice-provost, Indigenous engagement.

Ottmann came to the U of S from the University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education, where she was the director of Indigenous education initiatives, an associate professor and co-chair of U of C Indigenous strategy.

Ottmann said the new role with the U of S was an opportunity not only to return to the campus where she completed her master’s and PhD programs, but also a chance to help shape her alma mater as it places more and more emphasis on the importance of reconciliation, Indigenization and community collaboration.

“I really feel that this position does send a message to Indigenous communities— not only within Saskatchewan but across the nation and indeed internationally,” she said.

“Indigenization is important to the U of S, and the university is being responsive to the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action and is respectful of the United Nations’ Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People.

“That is a very strong stance, and I think this position will help to affirm and solidify that important message for Indigenous people.”

Ottmann said she looks forward to working with U of S senior leadership to discuss initiatives for the campus as a whole as well as collaborating with individual colleges and departments, and that diving into her new position in the midst of the university planning process offers a unique opportunity to ensure Indigenous voices and perspectives are fully acknowledged.

“We are extremely excited to bring back Dr. Ottmann to take a senior leadership role in focusing on Indigenous scholarship and student success on campus while also helping us engage and connect with the community,” said U of S Presi-

munities in the province and across the country.”

There were 2,831 Indigenous students pursuing degrees at the U of S in the 201617 academic year, making up 12 per cent of the total student population of 24,227.

The university has been actively working on building Indigenous content and experiences grounded in In-

digenous world views, into degree programs, an initiative that will be a priority area for Ottmann to support moving forward.

“Definitely, Indigenous knowledges and authentic Indigenous content can only support university curricula and this kind of inclusion will only strengthen the overall fabric of the university,” she said.

Becoming a Student at the University of Saskatchewan College of Nursing Becoming a nurse is an opportunity to change the world.

Nursing is a highly respected health care profession with deep roots and long traditions, similar to the University of Saskatchewan’s (U of S) College of Nursing. Offering both undergraduate and graduate programs, the U of S has been educating nurses since 1938.

Prospective students often ask, why study nursing at the University of Saskatchewan?

It’s a great question. Let’s take a

look at the College of Nursing.

Unsure which degree you want to pursue? Our undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree program is non-direct entry. You will take 30 credit units in the pre-professional year (Year 1), then apply to the College of Nursing for Years 2 - 4. If you choose not to study nursing after Year 1, you can apply the completed pre-professional courses to different U of S programs.

Build relationships with people you work with. Undergraduate students take the pre-professional year with other students interested in the health science professions, such as Dentistry, Kinesiology, Medicine and Pharmacy.

Throughout your program, you will continue to build relationships with individuals who will be part of the health care team when you become a Registered Nurse.

St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College: An ACE on the Prairies Searching for a university campus to begin studies can be a challenging task to say the least. There are multitudes of considerations like distance from home, program offerings, plus cost of tuition and housing.

Along with these, students are also looking for an engaging experience in their education with opportunities to meet new people and explore new ways of thinking. They also want people and supports to help make the necessary adjustments from high school to a university setting. Many people associate these features with large campuses in big cities.

This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always the case. St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College, an idyllic rural campus an hour east of Saskatoon, provides the

utmost in support services along with modern facilities and technology.

At the heart of the student experience is the long standing Father James Gray Academic Centre or simply ACE. The ACE was designed to meet the needs of all students when it comes to academic and personal challenges at university.

Dr. Barbara Langhorst, Academic Program Manager, explains that the program honours Father James Gray, long time English teacher, writer and editor of The Prairie Messenger. A member of the Order of St. Benedict and a tireless educator and activist, Fr. James Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment lives on in the newly renovated ACE centre and in its program-

ming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Benedictine qualities of mentorship and hospitality underlies our centre and gives us the inspiration to work with students of all abilities on projects of their choosing,â&#x20AC;? explains Dr. Langhorst. Students will work in structured sessions, in small groups, and individually depending on the needs. Students seeking instruction in essay writing or supports in time management or study skills may take advantage of the regularly scheduled noon sessions. Those who require tutoring in specific content areas, from maths and sciences to courses in humanities, will find their instructors available through ACE. For students who need

specialized supports, ACE staff work alongside Access and Equity Services at the University of Saskatchewan. Students, especially those with specific learning requirements or those

in the Transition program, achieve remarkable rates of success at St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College.

Add to this St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique rural setting, state of the art tech-

nology, and wide ranging recreational opportunities, you have a university experience like no other. St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College is truly a place where you live your education.

Your Active Guide to Winter Sask Cup ski race hits Humboldt

Members of the Carlton Trail Ski Club joined together pre-competition for a quick picture prior to the Sask Cup #5 Ski race in Humboldt on Jan. 21.

The race team included: Zoey Zaluski, Bryn Fleischhacker, Charles Zaluski, Claire Gullacher, Ethan Fleischhacker, and Brayden Niven. photos by Christopher Lee

BY CHRISTOPHER LEE JOURNAL REPORTER The Humboldt Golf Course was bustling on Jan. 21, but this time not with golfers.

The course featured 51 cross country skiers from seven ski clubs including Humboldt, Regina, Saskatoon, Flin Flon, Prince Albert, Sturgeon River, and Yorkton, for the fifth Sask Cup Ski race of the year.

The race featured skiers ranging in age from under seven to over 60.

Being able to host one of the Sask Cup ski races is great, notes Chief of Competition Dave Martinuk. “(It) allows us to showcase Humboldt and the Humboldt trails with the Carlton Trail Ski Club to the rest of Saskatchewan.”

Of course, in addition to showcasing

Humboldt to the racers, Martinuk notes that hosting the event is also great way of showcasing racing to his Humboldt skiers.

“It’s important to be able to have the kids and also the older racers to be able to come to your home club to race because you know the trails. When you know the trails you can push it as hard as you can and that’s what racing’s about.”

Racers were sent out at different intervals based on age group, with races ranging in distance from 1 km for the seven and under group, up to 11km for the racers 16 and older.

Weather was of big concern to the club coming into the weekend, as they had already had to cancel the race once, due to the cold, and Martinuk says it was nice to see the weather hold off this week, noting that there is a very small window for getting the race in.

“You only have maybe another week

or two during the race year because everybody else has the other time slots filled. So if you postpone a race you may or may not get a chance to host it again,” he said.

“We’ve been really fortunate to have everybody come together so we could host it this weekend and the weather cooperated.

Despite the poor weather, Martinuk noted the trails were still in great shape, and says everyone seemed pretty pleased with them.

“Everybody is just loving them.”

A big part of the reason for the great shape of the trails is in the new piece of grooming equipment, noted Martinuk, who said without it they would have had a hard time getting ready for the race.

“In the past you’re basically waiting for snow to fall and then cut it and shape it but now we can actually gather snow, we can renovate snow, we can

get the ice out of it and we can make it into trails it’s just huge.”

The race was supported by a number of volunteers who graciously gave their time to help out in any way they could, which was great to see, says Martinuk.

“We have a wonderful club and most of them you’ll phone them up and say sure when do you want me… it means a lot. It means everything.”

Overall, Martinuk was pleased with how the day went.

“Everybody comes up to you and said it’s been a good event, so what else can you ask?”

With the club needing to apply to host the race each year, Martinuk notes plans will get under way shortly to prepare an application.

“First I’m going to get a couple of good nights sleep,” he laughed.

Mushers gather in Porcu A five-dog sled dog team rushes towards the finish line during the Affinity Credit Union Sled Dog Classic in Porcupine Plain Jan. 20 and 21. photos by Devan C. Tasa

BY DEVAN C. TASA REVIEW REPORTER The yipping of the sled dogs became louder as they got closer to the finish line.

As they zoomed past, their musher encouraged them to get to home.

That was the scene at Porcupine Plain’s second annual sled dog race, the Affinity Credit Union Sled Dog Classic. The Jan. 20 and 21 race saw 10-dog teams race 15.5 miles over two days and six-dog teams race eight miles.

Tamara Harvey-Coli from Calgary competed in the six-dog races.

“We have some friends that are hosting the race, so we’d like to support them and we saw that you’ve got quite a few sponsors, so we always want to support the sponsors.”

Carl Knudsen and his family were the ones organizing the race, which is part of the MaMow-We-Tak sled dog race circuit. HarveyColi said that both them and her have been involved in sled dog racing for a long time and make an effort to support each other’s races.

Aaron Campbell came from Melfort. He did the six- and 10-dog races.

“I’m here to give my dog team experience for races this season. They haven’t been

around other dog teams this year, so I’m here to do some passing, hopefully and show them a new trail and a mass start experience,” he said. “I have a lot of young dogs on my team, so I’m using this run as a training run.”

Campbell said because of that, he wasn’t there to compete against the best teams.

The race began one mile east of Porcupine Plain and then went through parts of town before looping back.

“There’s always lots of fun on a mass start,” Harvey-Coli said. “It always makes it challenging and it’s nice to see the trail go through town, so there’s a lot of spectators, lot of people at the road crossings, so it’s fabulous.”

“I think the trail’s exciting because it’s laid out interestingly,” Campbell said. “It has lots of corners and other distractions for the dogs to work through, like going through the playground and through town and stuff. I like that. It’s a nice race to come to.”

Harvey-Coli said she wanted her team to place in the top three this weekend and ended up in second.

Both of the mushers said they planned to attend other sled dog events during this season.

Lake Lenore ice fishing derby reaches new heights Continued from previous page â&#x20AC;&#x153;It shows that they believe in our organization, what the Lions do.

And the companies that are supporting us are certainly increasing what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving to us. So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say that thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saying

that they support the cause and the community and the surrounding area,â&#x20AC;? noted Bauer of the continued increase in donated support.

Despite setting a new record for number of fishers, the number of fish caught and brought

in to be weighed was down significantly over last year.

L a s t y e a r â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s t o t a l reached 104 fish, while this year the derby registered just 55 fish, including 32 pike, 19 walleye, and four perch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It varies, depends

on the weather. There are more fishermen out here, you would think more fish would be caught but maybe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just not biting at this time,â&#x20AC;? noted Bauer of the decrease in fish.

The derby is a major fundraiser for the Lions

Club, and while Bauer notes the club does not have the money earmarked for anything specific they will be putting the money to good use some nationally, and internationally, but mostly locally, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to keep a lot

of the money in the community. We just recently gave a huge donation to the hall and the church as well.â&#x20AC;?

Overall, Bauer was pleased with how the day went, noting he is really thankful for everyone who came to support the derby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our motto is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We serve.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We are gratified that so many people are coming to this derby and seem to be enjoying themselves. We love putting this on. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by far our biggest fundraiser ever.â&#x20AC;?

Bauer would also like to thank the Lions Club members, and member of the community who did a great job helping out over the course of the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lions Club has 23 current members and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put on this large an event without the help of a large number of men and women in the community who are not Lions but they see the value in the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts in the community.â&#x20AC;?

With next year marking the 10th anniversary, Bauer noted the club will have some special plans in place to celebrate.

Third speakers series for college includes local judge

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

The Honourable James Plemel, Chief Judge of the Provincial Court of Saskatchewan, has strong ties to St. Peter’s College and the Muenster area, growing up in St. Gregor and finishing high school and his first year of university at the college.

Plemel returned to the college to discuss the Saskatchewan justice system for St. Peter’s College’s third speakers series speaker on Jan. 17. photo by Becky Zimmer

It may seem like a big leap from St. Peter’s College to Provincial Court of Saskatchewan but that is exactly what the Honourable James Plemel did.

His academic career started in the halls of St. Peter’s College while growing up in St. Gregor. He wrapped up high school and completed his first year of university at St. Peter’s College and went on to law school before joining the Saskatchewan Law Society in 1975.

Plemel was invited back to St. Peter’s College for the third installment of the 2017-2018 speakers series on Jan. 17, speaking about his journey to Chief Judge as well as the Saskatchewan judiciary.

Growing up in rural Saskatchewan, Plemel says he was lucky to be part of a well-rounded community with kids getting together for impromptu ball and hockey games on the weekends while also working hard on the family farm.

St. Peter’s College offered that wellroundedness as well, with educators encouraging everyone to participate in both sports and the arts whether you were good at it or not, he laughs.

Professors made sure that students were instilled with a well-rounded education, says Plemel, and with that a healthy curiosity and sense of adventure.

“I wanted to get out there and see things for myself.”

Working in many different courts across the province, Plemel has seen the different aspects of Saskatchewan society, including how indigenous issues have a direct result of colonization.

He and other Saskatchewan judges see it first hand.

But Plemel also sees the aboriginal court workers who are working towards justice programs for their communities, he says.

The path of criminality and justice does not start at the court room doors but ends there. There is a whole different path that has lead a person to those doors and we need to look at that path before we can improve or decrease the use of our court system, he says.

“Healthy societies are created through positive activities and healthy communities. In healthy communities there are less conflict and healthy communities need to be nurtured,”

said Plemel.

Healthy communities include factors beyond the accessible food, water, and housing, and includes things like positive activities.

“After you have the basics then you need some of the extras to get young people happy and healthy and vibrant...Get young people involved in sports, drama, theatre, education, healthy things,” said Plemel.

A lot of getting those things to young people depends on volunteers and Plemel took time during his speech to acknowledge people who do contribute to the health of their community through volunteerism.

In the aboriginal communities that Plemel has visited, leaders are working both inside and outside the community to build healthy communities. There is still a divide between aboriginal and non-aboriginal communities that can and should be bridged.

“Especially where you have communities close together...it makes very good sense for the leaders in both of those communities to try to have cultural and social events that bring them closer together so that there is a better understanding,” said Plemel.

Celebrating Scotland at Robbie Burns Night in Quill Lake

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

The pipes were playing, the tartan was flying, and toes were tapping as the Quill Lake Highland Dance Club held their 22nd annual Robbie Burns Night.

Club dancers from age three to 17 took to the stage to dance a variety of traditional dances of the Scottish highlands. The club was also joined by the Glenlily Dancers out of Saskatoon, a highland dance group featuring dancers over the age of 18, which includes dance instructor Renee Ingram.

The club has been working since September to prepare them for the recital, says Renee, with practices going until March.

Renee is proud of her dancers who have been working hard to learn their routines. She made more mistakes during the evening than they did, she laughs.

The club is on the move, she says, with a jump from 16 dancers last year to 23 this year.

Next year will see at least one dancer move on from the club with Bethany Norris graduating this year from high school and moving on to the University of Regina.

Norris danced a special solo performance as a way to say goodbye to the club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a student and now a teacher. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taught me to be a leader and work together with people and have great communication and great relationships with people.â&#x20AC;?

Planning her dance with Renee was an emotional process since both Norris and Renee did not want her year to end. Her performance did lead to many tears being shed by herself and fellow dancers.

While her performance wrapped up 14 years of dancing with the club, Norris says she will be looking to continue dancing in Regina.

Other special performances included bagpiper Lynda Lyon-Walls piping the dancers in to start the evening, Jim Walls on the guitar offering some musical numbers, and Emma Wood offering her beautiful vocal talents.

Organizer Melanie Ingram says the group has a great group of parents supporting the club and lending a hand in preparing for the night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything went so smoothly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m waiting for the ball to drop,â&#x20AC;? says Melanie, but she was happy to say that the night went off perfectly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone came to help and a lot of hands made light work.â&#x20AC;?

Scottish culture made a return to Quill Lake for the 22nd annual Robbie Burns Night put on by the Quill Lake Highland Dance Club. Twenty-five dancers took to the stage as well as musical guests and the Glenlily Dancers out of Saskatoon. Pictured (L to R): Laura Parsons, Makayla Sunderland, Mary Parsons, and Quindelyn Carter. photo by Becky Zimmer Since the event started, it has been a big hit, says Ingram, with much Scottish representation in the Quill Lake area. It is too late to stop now, says Ingram. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody comes back year to year and it would be really sad if it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be a lot of disappointed families,â&#x20AC;? says Melanie.

Haggis has been a tradition for the night, which has been made by Melanie, since she is the only one

brave enough to cook it, she says.

Since sheep stomach is hard to come by, the liver, heart, steal ground oat mixture is cooked in an over bag, she says.

The key is in the spicing and it cannot be made too dry.

The club holds their annual night in January and Melanie says there is always a great turn out.

Playoff race gets exciting down the stretch

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

There is just over a month left in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League season and things are about to become very fun.

After approximately 40 games each there have been a number of things decided, and plenty more still to figure out.

At this point we can say with almost 100 per cent certainty that the ten playoff teams have already been decided.

Yorkton and La Ronge hold down 11th and 12th place respectively with Yorkton nine points out of the playoffs, and La Ronge ten back.

Of course then we look up the standings only slightly and we see Melville almost

assuredly locked into tenth, as they sit eight back of Flin Flon, and Flin Flon and Kindersley left fighting for eighth as they are separated by just one point, but sit 11 back of Weyburn for seventh.

You might be thinking, so how is this going to be fun when all those teams have no where to go?

The fun actually comes at the top with the battle for first and the battle to stay in the top six.

The battle for first is a three horse race, with Nipawin holding the top spot, thanks to an incredible 21-0-1-1 stretch since early November, Battlefords sitting seven points back with four games in hand, and Melfort just eight back with a game in hand and five

games left against the Hawks.

Any of those three are more than capable of winning the league.

That will be a fun race.

But the race I am most interested in, as well as other local SJHL fans, is the race for third, fifth, sixth, and seventh.

Four teams currently sit separated by just six points.

Three of those teams will make the playoffs, while the final combatant will be forced to go through the survivor series.

Currently the Estevan Bruins have the inside track on third, as they hold a six point edge on Weyburn, the only team capable of passing them in the standings, due to the division winners earning a top three seed.

Then there is the battle

for fifth between the Humboldt Broncos, Notre Dame Hounds, and Weyburn Red Wings.

The Hounds currently sit in fifth place, but are just a single point ahead of the Broncos.

Those two teams play three more times this season, with two of them in Wilcox.

Then there are the Red Wings, who sit just three back of the Broncos, with a game in hand, and two more visits to the EPA still to make.

The race for fifth will not be easy for the Broncos but they do hold all the playing cards.

With three games left against the Hounds, and two against the Red Wings they have plenty of opportunity to try and separate themselves from the pack.

Of course, their schedule is a bit of a gauntlet down the stretch.

The green and gold have 16 games remaining this season, and play the nine of those 16 games against teams ahead of them in the standings.

How the Broncos do in those games will go a long way in deciding their fate.

The stretch drive to the SJHL playoffs is here and if you are a fan of exciting hockey and great finishes, you are in for a treat.

The Broncos and Hounds, and Stars and Hawks wrap their seasons playing each other in their final games.

The SJHL schedule makers knew what they were doing.

This is going to be a fun end to the season.

Diet means more than just weight loss

By Dr. Megan Parker, ND Health Columnist

How many of you have ever been on a diet?

I recently completed a therapeutic diet to rebalance my digestive flora and decrease inflammation. I had eliminated specific foods for eight weeks that are known to feed bad bacteria and yeast.

This particular diet was one that I had been recommending in practice for a few patients and had never tried it out myself so I decided to give it a shot.

I can’t tell you the number of times that I was following the diet that I was asked about weight loss.

“How much weight have you lost so far?”, “You’re thin enough already, why are you trying to lose weight?” or “Oh, I bet you’re going to lose a ton of weight in the next few weeks.” were only a few of the numerous comments I received.

This bothered me. I never once said I was on a “weight loss diet.”

Yes, I was limiting my intake of certain foods, but weight loss was never one of my intentions. It wasn’t even on my radar. So, why is it that every time someone hears the word diet they immediately assume it’s for weight loss.

According to the dictionary there are two definitions for the word diet.

One is what most people focus on: “a special course of food to which one restricts oneself, either to lose weight or for medical reasons.” The other definition is the one I think I we should focus more on: “the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats.”

We are all on a diet every single day of our lives.

We all eat food; or at least I hope you all are eating food everyday. Our diet is simply the foods that we are choosing to eat.

Food is our fuel. It has the nutrients we need to run our bodies and perform the activities we require of it during the day. We have the option to provide our bodies with the best fuel options available or to give it second rate nutrition, but that is our choice.

There are many different diets out there that have zero focus on weight loss. Our diet can simply be the choice we make on what kind or types of foods we are putting in our bodies.

Perhaps you chose to follow an Organic Diet, Whole 30, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan, Vegetarian, Ketogenic, or any other type. That’s totally okay.

Or maybe you are trying to lose weight to better your health and have made some dietary restrictions. Good for you.

Weight loss can be difficult, but with the right lifestyle changes you can achieve success.

Going on a diet also shouldn’t be

Recent graduates get extra hand from BHP

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

BHP Billiton and Carlton Trail College gave local graduates a bit of a helping hand by distributing their annual 2017 scholarships.

In total, $75,000 was given out to recent high school graduates.

Fourteen students from 10 Horizon School Division schools received $2,500 each to go towards their post secondary education with 16 students from six First Nation communities also receiving scholarships totalling $30,000.

This money will be a big help for Jordan Breker who graduated from Muenster School. He is currently a student at the Edwards School of Business at the University of Saskatchewan.

Breker wants to start his own business and school is an important part of fulfilling those goals.

Hannah Moellenbeck recently graduated from Englefeld School and is currently a student at St. Peter’s College taking classes in Commerce.

The competition was stiff from Englefeld with many deserving students also applying, says Moellenbeck.

“In my grade there were many high achievers so I was honoured to be able to receive it knowing there was the possibility of only one going to my school.”

With the scholarship, Moellenbeck will have some assistance paying for tuition and textbooks for her first year.

With so many scholarship opportunities available for students, Breker encourages students who are preparing to graduate to start applying.

Deanna Gaetz with Carlton Trail College says this is a perfect opportunity to provide support to students.

Carlton Trail works closely with BHP in regards to training, especially within their opportunity agreements with First Nation communities, says Gaetz.

Carlton Trail is also central to many of the schools in the Horizon School division.

“They approached us to see if we were interested in partnerring and it was a good fit.”

Gaetz says she hopes the scholarships will make

the student’s transitions to post secondary easier and relieve some financial stress.

Since 2013, BHP with assistance from Carlton Trail College has given out $320,000 worth of scholarships to 100 students in the BHP Jansen area.

Carlton Trail and BHP will soon be rolling out the sixth year of scholarships, says Gaetz.

Obituaries GUEGUEN: Hortense Apr. 4, 1926 - Jan. 14, 2018 Hortense Marie-Ange (nee Ferre) Gueguen of Humboldt, SK, passed away at Humboldt District Hospital on Sunday, January 14, 2018. She was 91 years of age. Hortense was born on April 4, 1926 in the St. Brieux District of Saskatchewan to Antoinette and Louis Ferre.

She grew up on a family farm with her six brothers and sisters. She obtained her schooling at Tilly country school. On October 30, 1945 she married Jean Gueguen and they took over the Gueguen family farm. This union was blessed with eight children: four daughters and four sons. Mom helped our dad with everything on the farm; she was a multitalented, determined individual, and no challenge was too big. She accomplished many tasks from greasing the tractor to unplugging the combine, milking the cows and baking bread for many hungry mouths. In 1974, mom and dad moved into Humboldt and started another â&#x20AC;&#x153;new chapter in their life.â&#x20AC;? Mom was a caregiver at heart; in 1993 she began to volunteer at St. Elizabethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital for the pastoral care team tending to the needs of others. She was a nurse without a degree for many family members, but especially for our brother Paul. Mom was the disciplinarian in our household as we grew up. When it came to the grandchildren, Dad would say to the little ones â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grand mere will have to talk to youâ&#x20AC;?, but with the great-grandchildren, having ice cream at 10 AM was always okay. Hortense enjoyed a variety of pastimes such as gardening, birdwatching, crafts, and quilting. When Hortense moved into Caleb in 2011, she made new friends and participated in many activities at her new home. She enjoyed hours spent on the telephone chatting with family and friends. She also cherished outings with her close friends. Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faith was neverending it carried her through many challenges. Daily Mass and prayer were always a part of her life. Her daily rosary or two were spent in the quietness of her home; and even right into her last moments. At 91 years of age, mom was not tired of being a mom. Mom would say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My children are my life, whatever you have to do in your life will reflect upon me,â&#x20AC;? as she raised her voice in a gentle warning at the end. Hortense is lovingly remembered by her children: Jocelyne (Stan) Miller, Louise (Dennis) Suignard, Lilianne (Marvin) Erickson, Jeannette (Philip) Mansiere, Claude (Ann) Gueguen, Paul Gueguen, Pierre (Yvonne) Gueguen; Grandchildren: Tara (Ian) Delmage, Sherilyn (Sean) Bater, Gilbert (Karla) Suignard, Richard (Laurel) Suignard, Gregory Suignard, Robert (Jayne) Suignard, Valerie (Chris) Sawcyn, Vernon Erickson, Katherine Erickson, Ryan (Melinn) Mansiere, Joelle (Blaine) Carlson, Jeffrey (Dacey) Mansiere, Marc (Rochelle) Mansiere, Christopher (Shaye) Mansiere, Nina Gueguen-Nielsen (Russell), Amy Gueguen (Nikolaus Danczak), Andrew Gueguen (Emily Whittaker); 28 great-grandchildren; one sister Lorraine Coquet; sister-in-law Linda Ferre; and numerous nieces and nephews. Hortense was predeceased by her husband Jean Gueguen; infant son Gilbert; her parents; and numerous sisters, brothers and their spouses. The Prayer Service for Hortense was held at Schuler-Lefebvre Funeral Chapel, Humboldt, on Friday, January 19, 2018, at 7:30 p.m., led by Nestor Trach and organist Darlene Cash. Scripture readers were Claude Gueguen and Nina Gueguen-Nielsen, and a special poem, Grandmother Owl, was read by Amy Gueguen, who wrote the poem in honor of her beloved grandmother. The eulogy was delivered by Yvonne Gueguen. The Funeral Mass was offered at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church, Humboldt, SK on Saturday, January 20, 2018, at 10:30 a.m., celebrated by Fr.

She completed her Grade 9 education at Mount Carmel School, which was 2 miles west of the family farm. On July 29, 1952 she married Ray Fleischhacker. They farmed in the Fulda area and then later moved to Marysburg. In 2004, Armella and Ray moved to Humboldt. For 23 years they wintered in Phoenix and Yuma, Arizona. Armellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest joy in life was her family. She loved gardening, cooking, baking, playing cards, travelling, fishing, camping and all sports, especially the Blue Jays. Armella played ball with the Carmel Cubs girls ball team where many a home run was hit at various sports days. She bowled in the Humboldt bowling league for several years. Curling was also a sport she enjoyed and on February 20, 1976, with three other Marysburg ladies, she scored an 8 ender in competition. Armella will be lovingly remembered by her devoted husband of 65 years, Ray; their three children, six grandchildren and five great grandchildren: Adele (Harold) Witt and their family Rayanne (McLaren) Taylor and children Coben and Sienna, and Jared Witt and children Jaxen and Rio; Craig (Cindy) Fleischhacker and their family Carleigh Fleischhacker and son Syd, and Cohl (Shaynae) Fleischhacker; and Dean (Michelle) Fleischhacker and their family Sam and Josh Fleischhacker. Armella was predeceased by her parents Albert and Anna Greipl; brother and sister-in-law Arnold and Margie Greipl; and sister and brother-in-law Lorraine and Mike Hramalak. The Funeral Mass for Armella was held on Thursday, January 18, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church, Humboldt, celebrated by Fr. Michael Yaremko. Others taking part in the Mass were: Dean Fleischhacker, crossbearer; Michelle Fleischhacker and Cindy Fleischhacker, scripture readers; Rayanne Taylor, intentions; Rayanne, McLaren, Coben and Sienna Taylor, gift bearers; Brian and Colleen Fleischhacker, memorial table attendants; and Craig Fleischhacker, urnbearer.

The Wakaw Ukrainian Dance Club celebrated Ukrainian New Year with their annual dance production. Forty dancers ages 4 to 18, some from Bruno, Cudworth, Middle Lake, and Wakaw, took to the floor to perform traditional Ukrainian dances, including the Kolomeyka, a circle dance where everyone can show off their moves (pictured). This is the biggest fundraiser for the club with 320 guests coming down to take in the festivities. Erin Standish with the dance club says dance families worked for weeks to prepare for the event. photo courtesy of Wakaw Ukrainian Dance Club
