Humboldt Mohawks as they cruised to a 42-22 victory.

The second game of the week featured a pair of winless teams as the Wakaw Warriors tipped off against the Annaheim Rebels.

Quill Lake celebrates Robbie Burns with flying feet

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Quill Lake’s Scottish roots were showing during the Quill Lake Highland Dance Club’s 21st annual Celtic Night Robbie Burns Celebration on Jan. 20.

The program included 15 dances from the 18 dancers currently dancing with the club, as well as two Ukrainian dancers as guests.

Highland dance instructor, Renee Ingram, took to the stage with Ukrainian dancer,

Jordyn Oleksyn, to show the differences and the similarities between the two dance styles.

Renee says that she started dancing because of her aunts involvement with highland dance.

Having this opportunity to learn the traditional dance and show it off at Robbie Burns night is really great, says Renee.

Now she has gone all over with her dancing, including a trip to Scotland to compete in 10 different highland dance

competitions this past summer.

“I found that it’s really important to keep on dancing because I learned more of the history of it and learned where it originated.”

Also included in the program were musical guests Jim Walls on guitar, Lynda LyonWalls on bagpipes who also piped in the dancers to kick off the show, and Laura Parsons on fiddle. The event finished off with the traditional address to the haggis, which was made

by Melanie, and the traditional

Celtic prayer.

The club itself has been kicking up a storm for over 30 years and started with local moms wanting to carry on the Scottish dance tradition.

The club had a one point up to 40 dancers but has shrunk over the years to about seven families and 18 dancers, says Quill Lake Highland Dance Club’s Melanie Ingram. The event itself has grown with the Quill Lake Community Legion Hall full to the brim with people from all over the

area, says Melanie.

All money raised from the night is going back to support the club pay for fees, costumes, and to bring Renee out from Muenster for lessons.

Highland dancing is something that is unique for Quill Lake, says Melanie, and people like seeing that tradition being kept alive.

Looking province wide, the biggest centres for highland dance is Saskatoon and Regina so for Quill Lake to have a club is pretty special, says Melanie.

Painting Wynyard plaid at first Robbie Burns celebration

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

It took some time but the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 101 in Wynyard held their first Robbie Burns night on Jan. 20.

With the amount of Scottish heritage among members, it was high time that they had a Robbie Burns night, says organizer, Sheila Doidge.

“It was a first time for us we’ve ever done it and I think we’ll do it again as a legion.”

Doidge herself is Scottish by birth but she says she is not Scottish enough to have the haggis. Along with other executives on the board, there is enough Scottish heritage to bring together a good celebration.

Around 50 people attended, which Doidge says is a good crowd with a substantial amount being from outside the Legion members. Doidge saw a lot of seniors and members of the local care home come which was a happy sight since they were able to get out and have some fun.

After wanting to do a Robbie Burns night for so long, Doidge says that they had finally said this year is it.

R

Plaid was the order of the day with the band decked out in different tartan colours, says Doidge.

With the problems surrounding the lake issue around Wynyard, finding a piper was quite difficult.

They did however find Lauchlan MacLean who piped in the other entertainers and then MacLean also piped in the haggis which was made by Comrade Jason Gargol.

Entertainment was a local affair with JD Greenshields with Darlene Storos on keyboard, and Shades of Blue with members Marilyn Fredsberg, Gene MacKenzie, and Shirley Johnson performing some Scottish tunes from Johnny Reid to Robbie Burns himself.

The haggis was not quite as traditional as some since they could not get sheep, says Doidge, but it was still a good dish with beef replacement parts and some Scotch.

Next year they are hoping to bring in Highland dancing, says Doidge.

All the funds raised went to the Legion and some recent plans to renovate and keep the place modern, says Doidge.

‘Free Speech for all’ after Gushue Brier win

By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

Section 4, Article II, subsection IV of the Newspaper Writers Guide of Canada, states: “Every sports columnist must, within the first 31 days of the calendar year, make appropriate predictions about what is to transpire in the ensuing 12 months.”

So, as not to risk suspension from the columnists’ union, here’s what’s almost guaranteed to happen during the first six months of 2017. (Next week, the last six months will be previewed.)

January — The 3-on-3 NHL All-star Classic in Los Angeles on the last weekend of the month features scores of 31-27, 19-18 and 30-23, causing the goaltenders to threaten to refuse to play next year unless the format is changed. “You mean there were goaltenders this year?” said most fans.

February — Using fully-inflated footballs, Tom Brady just can’t get a good grip, and New England Patriots fall 27-24 to Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl at Houston.

March — ‘Free screech for all’ declares a celebratory Premier Dwight Ball of Newfoundland and Labrador after native son Brad Gushue wins his first Brier championship in front of a hometown crowd in St. John’s.

April — Tiger Woods makes his return to Augusta a smashing event, winning the Masters by six strokes for his third consecutive tournament victory, and his first major since 2008, proclaiming: “I’m on my way to 19!” His fans know what he means and so does Jack Nicklaus.

May — As two Brinks trucks full of $100 bills pull up to the front door of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, boxer Floyd Mayweather and UFC star Connor McGregor

prepare to do battle in an octagon. The winner and champion of the world, declared by the IRS, is event promotor Dana White.

June — The NHL and the NBA finally conclude their lengthy playoff seasons and the trophies both go to northern California — Oakland, where the Golden State Warriors call home, and San Jose, where the Sharks finally win the Stanley Cup, causing bushy-bearded Brent Burns and Joe Thornton to go down to the local Scythes Are Us store to get shaved.

• Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “Rob Schneider tweeted ‘I will put together a consortium of buyers. Please sell me the 49ers.’ So does Schneider hope to make the 49ers great again, or is he planning to use them for a long-running comedy series?”

• Gene Collier of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, with his cliché ‘Mixologist Medal’, whereby athletes start with one cliche and finish with another: “Hines Ward of the Steelers once said, ‘They’ve have their hands cut out for them.’ ” • Janice Hough again: “Manny Ramirez, 44, has agreed to play for the Kochi Fighting Dogs of Japan’s independent Shikoku Island League. Let’s hope Manny being Manny doesn’t affect U.S.-Japan relations.”

• @randyturner15 of the Winnipeg Free Press on Twitter: “To clarify, when I said the NHLJets should be a .500 team I wasn’t referring to team save percentage.”

• Headline at TheKicker.com: “DeShaun Watson just hoping Browns didn’t see his great performance.”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “NFL bust Johnny Manziel will be signing autographs and posing for pictures with fans in Houston in the week leading up to the Super Bowl, with charges ranging from $50 to

RJ Currie of Sportsdeke.com, after Kansas basketball coach Bill Self said he didn’t know if Svi Mykhailiuk travelled during a controversial game-winning shot: “Really? Assembling my IKEA dresser took fewer steps.”

Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “Washington state legislators introduced a proposal to allow sports fans to bring guns into venues. ‘You know that shirtless, drunk guy in the end zone at NFL games shouting profanities? We need to arm him.’ ” RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com again: “The B.C. government will increase the minimum wage by 40 cents before October 2017. In related CFL news, the Lions announced a major increase in playoff bonuses.”

Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “The Rams and the Chargers are in LA. There was an awkward moment when the Cleveland Browns announced they were also moving to LA but then realized LA wasn’t accepting all the bad NFL teams.”

Another one from Kaseberg: “After her 48-second MMA win, Amanda Nunes said Ronda Rousey was overrated. As a result, Donald Trump has named Nunes to his cabinet as Secretary of Good Winners.”

Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com once more: “Only person really happy about the Chargers move is Washington’s Dan Snyder. Because Dean Spanos has just replaced him as most hated owner in NFL.” Norman Chad of the Washington Post, on Twitter: “This is the NFL’s concussion protocol: “If you don’t have a concussion, you play. If you do have a concussion, you play.”

Jim’s sisters Margaret, Marian, Lydia and husband Greg came out to see everyone. We all had a grand visit.

Jennifer and clan left on Jan. 4 and flew to Abbotsford, B.C., picked up their car, and did some Canadian grocery shopping and then drove home.

Everyone is safe and sound at home.

The Plunkett ladies Birthday Group held a Birthday Party for Evelyn Shoemaker on Jan. 17 at the Plunkett Community Centre and helped Evelyn celebrate her 95th birthday. A couple of games of knowledge were played and then a lovely basket of household gifts were presented to her and opened up and passed around. She thanked the ladies and then they enjoyed a lovely luncheon followed by birthday cake, tea and coffee. It was a lovely afternoon spent. The ladies also showed the blankets that are being made for the homeless and Red Cross.

Rod and Lorie Sutherland were away to Barbados before Christmas on holidays. David and Joy were also away.

Dennis and Leona Credgeur were away to Meadow Lake before Christmas to attend Christmas concerts.

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

Plunkett folks welcome any new folks that have moved into our town.

Anyone having any news, please phone me at 306-944-4852. Thank you kindly.

How far do we take proper labelling?

Calvin Daniels Labelling has become a confusing element of the food sector.

The situation has been made confusing by legislators not trusting science, a public antsy over anything they don’t fully understand, and companies caught trying to ap-

pease everyone to ensure market share.

We have seen the confusion grow as genetically modified crops have come to market, and the niche market of consumers who believe organic food is their best choice to put on the family dinner table.

Now the industry should always keep the adage of the customer always being right, but you have to be aware, at least as legislators, that consumers are often making choices based in-large part on emotion.

So the question becomes how much labelling should consumers expect on a product in the grocery store?

Most consumers, I would suggest read such labels with a cursory glance, if at all.

Most consumers will be far more concerned with the price sticker, as they look to balance good food for the table with budgets stretched to the max.

Still, we do need labelling, labels which provide data which has been confirmed by good science, and protected by the diligence if publicly funded watchdogs such as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in our country.

On a side note food safety, including labelling requirements, clearly needs to be a federal responsibility. It would

make no sense to have one set of requirements in Alberta, and another in Nova Scotia.

That is however the reality in the United States where the state of Vermont legislated genetically modified labelling requirements specific to that state.

Can you imagine the issues which could arise in terms of marketing of even a dozen states legislated differing requirements?

But back to the basic question, what should consumers reasonably expect?

The short answer is that everything in the store follows established safety

standards and is safe for consumers.

After that labelling is largely to ensure food safety for consumers with specific needs, peanut allergies coming to mind, and secondly to let consumers make choices based on personal preferences.

The second area of labelling of course is the one which could lead to every package having a book attached to it.

We have those seeking genetically modified labelling, although science would suggest there is no difference.

Others want country of origin labelling as a way to support farmers in their

own country, although where is the country of origin of bread baked in the US, with wheat imported from Australia, using canola oil for Canada etc?

Then there is religious labelling, whether as an example something is kosher and the chapters in the labelling book grows ever longer.

Information is the base of knowledge, and knowledge allows for better decisions, but at the root of it all is the need to trust in the science and system behind our food, for without that trust buying groceries suddenly becomes a very scary undertaking, labels, or not.

Get the facts about Osteoporosis

By Dr. Megan Parker, ND Health Columnist

Osteoporosis is a medical condition where the bones become weak and brittle due to loss of bone mass. This decreased bone mass results in increased risk of fractures.

Vertebrae in the lower back and the upper hip are the most common areas of the body affected by osteoporosis.

Osteopenia is used to describe bone loss that is not severe enough to be concerned true osteoporosis.

Both men and women are affected by osteoporosis, but it is much more common in women. Nearly one third of women in North America will develop osteoporosis at some point in their lifetime.

Our bones are living tissue that is constantly turning over, being broken down and being replaced.

Osteoporosis occurs when the new healthy tissue isn’t being created at the same speed as old tissues are being broken down.

Bone mass typically peaks around age 35 and then slowly declines over time. There is often an accelerated decline around the time of menopause for most women.

There are a few risk factors that can speed up bone loss and increase your risk of developing osteoporosis, include sedentary lifestyle, cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol intake and family history of the disease.

Some medical conditions including, but not limited to, rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, hyperthyroidism, diabetes can also increase your risks. Certain medications have also been shown to decrease bone mass including glucocorticoids, anticonvulsants, some antacids and loop diuretics.

Osteoporosis is diagnosed via a DEXA scan. The DEXA scan measures bone mineral density allowing

us to see the amount of deterioration of your bone.

Most common treatments for osteoporosis include diet, weight-bearing exercise, vitamin and mineral supplementation and bisphosphonate medications.

The best treatment plan is individualized based on your DEXA scores and should be discussed with your healthcare team.

Even though we may not have had a DEXA scan or diagnosed osteoporosis, it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be thinking about our bone health. Since our bone mass peaks at age 35, we know that it is slowly decreasing over time and we want to limit the amount of bone loss we have each year to prevent fracture risk.

The best way to maintain bone health and prevent osteoporosis is with healthy diet, exercise and ensuring you are getting the necessary components in your diet to make healthy bones.

A healthy diet is integral to overall health. We need nutrients to keep our bodies healthy and to make sure our bones stay strong. Be sure to limit intake of refined sugar, soda drinks, excessive caffeine, high amounts of sodium, and any dietary allergies or food sensitivities.

Weight bearing exercise has been shown to slow and potentially reverse bone loss. It also increases strength and balance, reducing the risk of falls. Examples of weight bearing exercise include walking, hiking, yoga, tai chi, weight training, dancing, and body weight exercises.

When most people think of bone support supplements they think of calcium and vitamin D, but there are so many other important nutrients necessary to build strong bones.

Yes, calcium and vitamin D are essential, but our bones also need vitamin K, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, manganese, silicon, copper, and strontium,

just to name a few.

Many people, especially post-menopausal women, take calcium supplements proactively to prevent osteoporosis.

This may not be the best course of action. Calcium supplementation can deplete other nutrients essential for bone health, including magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, manganese and silicon. There are also numerous studies, including one from Johns Hopkins Medicine, showing that “taking calcium in the form of supplements may raise the risk of plaque buildup in arteries and heart damage, although a diet high in calcium-rich foods appears to be protective.�

Dietary calcium comes from many foods. The dairy industry has done amazing marketing making most people believe dairy is the only food source of calcium. In fact, there are many other foods that have much higher calcium contents and are much more easily absorbed than the calcium in dairy. Best food sources of calcium include nuts, seeds, green leafy vegetables, broccoli, tofu, green beans and fish.

Hormones, particularly estrogen, plays a huge role in bone health as well, but we’ll have to save that topic for another time.

We all have bones and we use them every day so we need to make sure we are keeping them strong and healthy. Speak to your doctor before beginning any supplementation as the benefits and risks will need to be assessed for each person individually. I challenge you to think outside the box regarding your dietary sources of calcium and amp up that weight bearing exercise.

Viscount news

By Sandra Reid Correspondent Book Club met to discuss ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’ by Khaled Hosseini. They all agreed that although the subject matter was difficult, it nonetheless was a superb book and one that they all would recommend. It was the novelists’ first book.

Followed by ‘The Kite Runner’ which they read a few years ago (also an excellent book). Their new book is entitled ‘Cool Water’ by Dianne Warren, a Canadian novelist from Regina.

Blankets 4 Canada met last week also. There were seven of us. Two of the ladies have been making blankets on their own on behalf of B4C over the last few weeks. They brought them in on Jan. 18 our first day back, for us to label. They are absolutely beautiful! We have such a lovely

time getting together weekly and we welcome any interested persons to join us. Call Evelina at 306-944-4820 if you would like to know more about what we do.

Meacham Historical and Cultural Society held a meeting last week. Their pancake breakfast with Santa, in December was well attended. Plans were discussed for their perogy and sausage lunch on Jan. 28.

On Jan. 21 there were 22 people in attendance at the Viscount Seniors Breakfast. Mary Joan and Chris Rault did the cooking and cleaning. Greg Wagner won the Lucky Loonie Pot. On Jan. 16 the Seniors held a Senior Pot Luck Supper at the Viscount Seniors and was successful with lots of food.

The Seniors have been opening the Senior

Center for coffee every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 8:30 to 10:30 and is being well attended, with room for more.

At the Viscount Community Centre on Jan. 21 at 12:30pm, we all enjoyed the Grand Viewing of the new Zamboni.

The Green Space Park is on hold until spring.

At this time they will be developing a playground for children.

The Ridge Runners are having a Poker Rally on February 18th from 10am until 6pm.

On Jan. 21 it was Minor Sports Day at the Viscount Community Centre. We enjoyed a Hockey game before the Zamboni viewing.

Best wishes to anyone that is under the weather.

Hope you soon feel better.

Have a great week!

Every farmer for themselves

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Growing up in Saskatchewan you are bound to hear stories of Saskatchewan heroism. Of helping your neighbour.

Fire destroying a barn and everyone coming together to rebuild it.

As a province, we were built on the foundation of family farms.

Communities grew based on rail lines, homesteads, and agricultural industry.

Annaheim is still viable because of Doepker Industries who started, and still does, on farm machinery, as well machinery for the forestry and oil and gas sectors.

Michel’s Industries, Bourgault Industries, Schulte Industries, and many other industries that have come and gone filled that need for local materials while farmers worked the land.

The agriculture sector is a tricky business. The world needs to be fed

but this must be balanced with business success.

Niche and large scale is now the norm.

Educated farmers are now the norm.

Farmers who left school before even hitting their teens are no longer acceptable in today’s world as most producers have university degrees instead of a grade 8 education if any.

Being the product of a family farm, it is hard not to mourn what Saskatchewan has lost.

Between 1901 to 1939, the number of homesteads grew from 13,000 to 142,391 across the province.

That number has been on the steady decline as some farmers were able to make a go of it while others could not.

Talking to any retired farmer, you hear about how it used to be; the lands that fed a dozen families while now it is farmed by one.

Driving down Hwy. 2 especially, one sees the old, abandoned homesteads where a family tried to build a life.

Shells of communities dot the province, places like St. James and St. Gertrude just to name a few.

Bigger is better and the agriculture industry is not exempt from that. These are the ruins of those who could not keep up. “New technologies available to farm-

ers led to economies of size and scale in agriculture—the larger the size of the operation, the lower the per unit costs of production,� they say in the Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan.

In his memoir, An Honourable Calling: Political Memoirs, former Saskatchewan Premier, Allan Blakeney laments the failure of family farms “that continue to decline although the volume of production may not.�

In the attempts to save small town Saskatchewan, the lack of funds to help keep the family farms, the blame falls of on the 1970s federal government, says Blakeney, who could not or world not support subsidizes that would support small farmers.

Although it is hard to argue that the old world was better, I cannot help but lament my lost history, a lost way of life that built this province. The romantic ideal of the old pioneer way of life.

What will happen to rural Saskatchewan as it continues to shrink and vanish?

Who will be left to tell the stories of Saskatchewan farmers?

This is the reason I applaud programs like Century Family Farm Awards. Although my family farm did not make it to 100 years, celebrating farms that did is a way of keeping our heritage alive.

FUN theReview

Your Active Guide to Winter Tobin Lake’s online fishing community

By Emma Meldrum • Parkland Review Reporter Ice fishing at Tobin Lake is a little bit safer thanks to one man’s initiative.

Trevor Freemantle started the ‘Tobin Lake Fishing Report’, a Facebook group, in March 2016. The group has since accumulated almost 900 members.

Before the Report was started, Freemantle was overwhelmed with requests about ice conditions and catches.

“So many people would contact me because I lived right there,” Freemantle said in a Jan. 16 phone interview. “I was usually the first guy on the ice and lots of times I had my ice shack out there in the middle of December if not earlier.”

Safety on ice The Report ensures more people know about ice conditions like depth, heaves and cracks. It helped long-time Nipawin ice fisherman Brent Lindman last March when a large ice heave came up in the flats.

“Without that Tobin Lake Report, I probably would have headed out and drove right smack dab into it because I’m an early riser and I like to be out there before first light,” said Lindman on Jan. 17. “Because I checked the Report, all of a sudden I knew there was an ice heave.”

Freemantle will post ice depth, but he recommends that each ice fisherman tests his own ice thickness. He recalled measuring one area at 8 inches, and finding ice only 1.5 inches thick about 70 yards away.

“I have a lot of respect for Mother Nature,” he said. “It isn’t worth risking your life to go fishing.”

Rules and regulations More and more, Freemantle hopes the group is a space to encourage fishermen to follow the rules and respect the fish.

Once he has removed the hooks, the fish is brought up for a quick picture, then sent right back into the water.

“Their eyes freeze so fast and their gills freeze

so fast and that to me is just respect for the fish to let it go so someone else can go and experience the same thing that I just experienced.”

Freemantle warned that just because a fish swims away, does not mean it will survive.

“There’s a lot of good fishermen on that page who follow it that are not shy to voice their opinion on proper etiquette,” he said. “It is good education because a lot of people were never taught the proper way of handling a fish.”

Regulations like catch-and-release and barbless hooks are credited with the quality of Tobin Lake’s fishery.

A little bit of fun The Report also comes in handy during the summertime.

“We were in a couple of tournaments this year and we were doing live reports right on the water in the boat,” said Freemantle.

Gary Lehmann goes out to Tobin Lake from Saskatoon. He grew up at Candle Lake, where his biggest catch was 8 pounds.

“My first year going out to Tobin Lake, I caught a 24-pound pike,” said Lehmann Jan. 17. “They do a great job in making sure that with the slot limits and stuff like that, that generations to come are going to be able to continue catching these trophies.”

Fishermen are encouraged to post their catches, whatever the season, for the group to appreciate.

Chris Garland is a Tisdale-based ice fisherman who has been making trips to Tobin for over a decade.

“It’s close, and obviously it’s a record-breaking lake,” said Garland Jan. 18. “Now, I get spoiled because it is such a great fishery.”

He said the Fishing Report is “a good group of guys. Guys that are willing to share where the fishing is, what they’re biting on, the hotspots and whatnot.”

Winter Ice Safety The following guidelines should be applied along with your responsibility to use caution and common sense: ¡ before you leave, always tell someone where you will be fishing and when you plan to return; ¡ try to go fishing with other anglers rather than going alone; ¡ test the ice thickness before you travel on it and check with other local anglers for information about the water body; ¡ ice does not freeze at a uniform thickness and ice strength can vary considerably from one area to another due to air temperature, water currents (especially around the mouths of streams and rivers), pressure cracks, springs, old holes and heavy snow insulation; ¡ particularly in the early part of the winter season, ice near shore is often much thicker and safer than ice further out onto the lake; ¡ heavy snow cover can insulate the ice below and cause the ice to form much more slowly; ¡ if driving on the ice, drive slowly, keep the windows down and apply brakes gradually; and ¡ wear proper cold weather apparel and layer clothing to stay warm.

Assemble some safety gear for emergencies such as a cell phone, ice picks, a throw rope, flares and a life jacket or flotation suit.

A lot of people have the tendency to “More and more people are kind of run or shuffle on their skis, but to getting their own really enjoy skiing, you commit all your equipment weight on one leg and trust your a n d balance and glide it out.”

The cold weather is here and with it a number of people looking for things to do to pass the time.

It has been a less than ideal start to the year as the temperatures have been quite cold and the snow has not been flying too frequently but the Carlton Trail Ski Club still has some trails open for people to get out and enjoy the winter.

As of Jan. 14 the Carlton Trail Ski Club website noted that Trail 1 at the Dixon trails was in good shape and Trail 2 was usable but in poor shape. The Humboldt Golf Club website was reporting that 95 per cent of the trails were usable as of Jan. 13.

Carlton Trail Ski Club Vice-President Brad Lefebvre notes that it is easier to maintain the trails at the golf course due to shorter grass and better terrain.

“There’s no trees and stumps and rocks and roots and stuff sticking out of the ground like there is at Dixon so … maybe here you can get away with maybe three inches of accumulated snow instead of six inches out there.”

Lefebvre notes that the trails are groomed usually every time it snows.

“If you don’t get any snow for a couple of weeks you can’t do much,” he says.

The grooming is relatively easy for the club, says Lefebvre, who notes that they have a machine that levels the snow and packs it down and then cuts the tracks out for the skis to go in.

Preparation for the trails starts well before the first snowfall as well as the club goes out in the fall to clear off the trails of any deadfall, stumps or rocks and trim any bushes or trees with branches hanging over the trail making it more narrow.

The club will then cut the grass, which will allow the trails to be ready for use much sooner.

“And if the grass has been cut you can ski with a lot less snow… because you don’t have that big tall grass. If you get enough snow you pack the snow down. Then the grass gets packed down too but it takes more snow to be able to cut (the tracks).”

There are a number of trails available for use as there are three trails at the golf course, which all run on the back nine, with lengths of 1km, 2km, and 3.5km, while at Dixon the trails range in distance from 1km for the jack rabbit trail to a much longer 13km trail.

The trails are available f o r any-

one to use, says Lefebvre, and is not just limited to skiers. Snowshoers also use the trails and in the summertime hikers, mountain bikers and even quaders use the trails but he recommends that those using the trails either pay for a membership or they at least pay the $5 daily trail fee since those fees provide some liability

insurance.

“If you don’t pay that you’re basically trespassing. And then you have no insurance if you fall and break your leg or break an arm.”

A lot of people have the tendency to “More and more people are kind of run or shuffle on their skis, but to getting their own really enjoy skiing, you commit all your equipment weight on one leg and trust your a n d balance and glide it out.”

The cold weather is here and with it a number of people looking for things to do to pass the time.

It has been a less than ideal start to the year as the temperatures have been quite cold and the snow has not been flying too frequently but the Carlton Trail Ski Club still has some trails open for people to get out and enjoy the winter.

As of Jan. 14 the Carlton Trail Ski Club website noted that Trail 1 at the Dixon trails was in good shape and Trail 2 was usable but in poor shape. The Humboldt Golf Club website was reporting that 95 per cent of the trails were usable as of Jan. 13.

Carlton Trail Ski Club Vice-President Brad Lefebvre notes that it is easier to maintain the trails at the golf course due to shorter grass and better terrain.

“There’s no trees and stumps and rocks and roots and stuff sticking out of the ground like there is at Dixon so … maybe here you can get away with maybe three inches of accumulated snow instead of six inches out there.”

Lefebvre notes that the trails are groomed usually every time it snows.

“If you don’t get any snow for a couple of weeks you can’t do much,” he says.

The grooming is relatively easy for the club, says Lefebvre, who notes that they have a machine that levels the snow and packs it down and then cuts the tracks out for the skis to go in.

Preparation for the trails starts well before the first snowfall as well as the club goes out in the fall to clear off the trails of any deadfall, stumps or rocks and trim any bushes or trees with branches hanging over the trail making it more narrow.

The club will then cut the grass, which will allow the trails to be ready for use much sooner.

“And if the grass has been cut you can ski with a lot less snow… because you don’t have that big tall grass. If you get enough snow you pack the snow down. Then the grass gets packed down too but it takes more snow to be able to cut (the tracks).”

There are a number of trails available for use as there are three trails at the golf course, which all run on the back nine, with lengths of 1km, 2km, and 3.5km, while at Dixon the trails range in distance from 1km for the jack rabbit trail to a much longer 13km trail.

The trails are available f o r any-

one to use, says Lefebvre, and is not just limited to skiers. Snowshoers also use the trails and in the summertime hikers, mountain bikers and even quaders use the trails but he recommends that those using the trails either pay for a membership or they at least pay the $5 daily trail fee since those fees provide some liability

insurance.

“If you don’t pay that you’re basically trespassing. And then you have no insurance if you fall and break your leg or break an arm.”

Booting aside the wintertime blues

By Christopher Lee â&#x20AC;˘ East Central Trader Continued from previous page Lefebvre also notes that the membership and trail fees help cover costs the club incurs including the operation of the club, trail maintenance, electricity bills, and heating bills among other things.

They have reached an all-time high for membership within the club, says Lefebvre, hitting 130 members last year, and says the $50 membership fee covers members for a number of events the club hosts throughout the year, except for the Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Loppet, which costs skiers $25 and in-

cludes dinner as well as door prizes.

The Loppet, which is scheduled to take place Feb. 11 this year, is the second longest running loppet in the province, says Lefebvre, and has been running for approximately 38 years, with the odd year being cancelled due to cold weather or poor snow conditions.

As for the cold, Lefebvre notes that Cross Country Saskatchewan mandates that if it is colder than -20 clubs are not supposed to be able to run events because of the danger to the participants.

FACTORY-AUTHORIZED CLEARANCE EVENT

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a really, really veteran skier (and) you know what the heck youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing they recommend that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even go out if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s -20 or colder and depending on the windchill too maybe if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only -15 but the windchill is -30 then they still say stay off it.â&#x20AC;?

For those who are interested in braving the cold the Carlton Trail Ski Club website suggests that before going out skiers need to know the limitations of their bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

As for what to wear when going skiing the website mentions that having facial protection is a must and suggests wearing a ski buff or neck tube, which will also help protect against breathing in cold air. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can actually burn your lungs with very cold air â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly if you are working hard and breathing large amounts of air. You can cause permanent damage to lungs if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t protect yourself,â&#x20AC;? says the website.

As for keeping skiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feet warm the website suggests wearing a pair of thick socks or wearing a pair of thin socks with a pair of thicker socks over top and says cotton socks are not to be worn because they hold moisture and will cause feet to freeze. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A good warm sock will have pure wool or a wool/polyester/spandex in it and that is what works best. Good modern ski boots are also much warmer to wear than the old 1970

or 1980 vintage ski boots, which had very little insulation.â&#x20AC;?

As for hands, the key to keeping hands warm while skiing is to wear a wool inner mitt with a nylon or leather mitt over top.

One of the important things to remember, says the website, especially when it comes to feet and hands is to make sure not to wear tight layers as it will constrict blood flow, causing skiers to get colder faster.

It is always better to wear more layers than you might need than not enough because skiers can take layers off but they cannot add layers that they do not have, says the website.

Lefebvre invites anyone who might be interested in cross-country skiing to give it a try, noting it is an excellent way to stay active in the winter and is a good way to help speed up the winter months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) good for your cardiovascular, for your heart and lungs, for your legs and your arms and your shoulders and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not hard on your bodyâ&#x20AC;Ś sometimes running is hard on your legs, sometimes football and hockey can be pretty hard on your bodyâ&#x20AC;Ś but this is gentile.â&#x20AC;?

Those who are interested also do not have to have their own equipment either, says Lefebvre, since the club has a collection of used skis, boots, and poles to use for free with a membership.

Fun in snowmobiling means staying safe

By Becky Zimmer â&#x20AC;˘ East Central Trader Snowmobiling is a fun way to enjoy the snow but it can also be dangerous if riders are not prepared.

There are plenty of ways to stay safe and keep your machine running smoothly during the winter months.

Staying Safe Making sure you are not riding alone and making sure someone knows where you are going are important parts of staying safe on the trails, says President and CEO of the Saskatchewan Snowmobiling Association, Chris Brewer.

Never riding alone does not mean two riders but two separate machines and as long as someone knows where you are going means they can send someone after you if something happens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there is a search party needed, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sending in a direction that you had planned to go on.â&#x20AC;?

Proper clothing is also a big part of staying warm on a snowmobile. Ski clothing will not do, says Brewer, since snowmobile clothing is built to wick moisture away. Ski clothing is meant to breathe and let cold air in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you get winds from riding on a snowmobile, (ski clothes) is not built for repelling wind.â&#x20AC;?

Having a proper helmet is also a big part of having proper clothing on the trails.

Brewer warns that unless the helmet has DOT sticker on the back, it is not certified by the Department of Transport.

Helmets should be replaced every two years and once a helmet is dropped, it needs to be replaced, says Brewer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Often times the material on the inside thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built to absorb the impact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done.â&#x20AC;?

One of Brewerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own personal pet peeves is people who do not do up their helmets saying the helmet is there and is keeping them warm.

That is not the main point of a helmet, says Brewer.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saving your life so do up the strap on it.â&#x20AC;?

Having lifesaving gear on board is also an important part of snowmobile safety, says Brewer.

In his own personal waterproof fannypack that he takes with him, Brewer takes things like a compass, hand-pump flashlight, matches, a lighter, a solar blanket, an extra balaclava, and a small first-aid kit.

You just never know when you will need it, he says, so even for afternoon rides Brewer keeps his fannypack with him.

Repairs Bradley Moorman with Humboldt Discovery Motorsports not only works on other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s machines but also works on his own 1997 Polaris XLT. Maintaining your machine can save a lot of danger on the trails. This includes going under the hood before going out, check all hoses, belts, and wires, making sure gas and oil levels are at a safe point before going out, and checking skids for wear and tear to ensure proper steerage.

Checking headlights, taillights, and brake lights is also important before going out.

When making repairs, clean and dry are your best friends, says Moorman, but for repairs that must be made on the trail, ensure that the tool kit that comes with the machine is always available.

An important part of the machine is the clutch.

If a belt is frayed or does not turn when engaged with the clutch, this can cause the belt to fly apart or fall off. Carrying a spare belt and tools ensures that you are always ready to change the belt and keep on going.

Snowmobiling can be fun but always be sure to stay safe on your sled.

Stay safe on the trails and be conscientious of crops still in the Âżeld.

16 ECT Friday, January 27, 2017

Warmer weather hit the area over the last week and the Lake Lenore Lions Club was reaping the benefits as they hit a new water mark high for most number of fishers at their ice fishing derby.

A total of 599 people entered into the derby this year, an increase of well over 100 people from last year where temperatures dipped into the -40s with the windchill.

Lake Lenore Lions Club executive member Tim Prodahl was really pleased to see so many people taking part in the derby, noting that when they make the change to allow shacks and electronics the numbers began to increase.

“It makes you feel good that when the people come, they’re pleased with what you’re doing. And we hear ten good comments and nearly nothing negative.”

Fishers came from all over the province, says Prodahl, including Sasktoon, Regina, Martensville, Warman, Nipawin, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, and Melfort among others, which just goes to show how much people enjoy both fishing and the Lake Lenore derby.

“That must mean we’re doing something right and that just makes a guy feel good.”

This year’s derby, which was the 8th annual allowed fishers a four-hour period of time from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Jan. 21 to make their catches.

During that four-hour period 104 fish were caught, including 88 walleye, 12 northern pike and four perch.

The fishing derby is a fundraiser for the Lions Club and Prodahl guesses they were able to raise approximately $15,000.

A portion of the money raised from the fishing derby will be going to help pay for the repairs to the Lake Lenore Hall, says Prodahl. They also have other plans for another portion of the money with a potential future project.

There were a number of prizes up for grabs over the course of the day including top three pike, largest walleye, largest perch, smallest walleye or pike,

100th fish caught, last fish caught, as well as the 50/50.

Conrad Richard took home the $6,342 prize for the largest pike caught with a weight of 6.57lb, followed by Dan Grywacheski, whose 5.34lb pike netted him $3,171.25. Josh Kovach finishing third and taking home $1,902.75 with a 4.58lb pike.

The largest walleye prize went to Darren Romanuik, whose 3.30lb fish earned Romanuik a $500 prize. Romanuik also took home the last fish caught prize, winning a set of binoculars, with his walleye coming in seconds before 2:00 p.m.

Rounding out the winners were, Mark Prodahl who won the $1,268.50 for smallest walleye or pike with his .51lb walleye, Melanie O’Brien whose 1.66lb perch took home the $250 prize for largest perch, Quinn Helm who won an ice fishing sled for catching the 100th fish and Ian Crowder who took home the $5,155.50 50/50 pot.

There were a number of other prizes available to be won for those who entered the derby, with a number of businesses stepping up to make donations, which was great to see, says Prodahl.

“Without them you don’t have it. So they’re fantastic and they are getting more each year… they’re more willing it seems like each year to actually give more it’s amazing.”

In addition to the generosity of the businesses, a number of people stepped up to help make the event a success, with Prodahl noting that in addition to the 22 Lion Club members it takes nearly 40 additional volunteers.

“Whenever you ask they’re there and it continues to be that way and it just makes a person really proud.”

Overall Prodahl was really pleased with how the fishing derby went and said he was really thankful to all of the volunteers, sponsors and fishers for their continued support.

Looking ahead, Prodahl notes that next year’s fishing derby is scheduled to take place on its traditional third Saturday in January, which is Jan. 20.

We need to do more for mental illness

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

Jan. 25 is Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Talk Day as we look to raise money for mental health initiatives.

So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk.

Mental health is becoming a bigger and bigger concern across Canada.

Not that it was not a concern before but we are more conscious of it now than we have been in the past but we are still not doing enough, especially in Saskatchewan.

In 2015 the national average for mental health spending in Canada was seven per cent of provincial health care budgets but in Saskatchewan we were only spending five per cent of the health care budget on mental health, according to a report published by the Canadian Mental Health Association.

That two per cent does not seem like a lot but when Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health budget is $5.4 billion, we are being left $108 million short of the national average.

The CMHA says that to start really making a difference for those people who are suffering from mental health issues we need to be spending nine per cent of the health budget on mental health.

On a per capita basis the CMHA says that the province is spending $4,585 for all health services but just $116 for mental health services, that is a drastic drop.

According to the same report the economic cost of mental health illnesses in Canada is $50 billion, with an additional $6 billion in lost productivity.

That seems like a steep price tag given that we would only be spending $108 million more instead of approximately $1.5 billion in additional costs and $180 million in lost productivity.

We talk all the time about how the kids are the future yet suicide is the second leading cause of death amongst people 15 to 24.

Canada is among the world leaders in suicide rates in the industrialized world, with Saskatchewan sitting above the national average.

Should we not be trying to further support these people instead of leaving them to try to deal with their illnesses on their own?

We are already in a situation where we have a lack of support for health care in this country as it is.

I get it.

But we should be looking at ways to improve mental health care, while simultaneously improving our overall health care.

There are 6.7 million people in Canada living with a mental health illness, with approximately 200,000 of those living in Saskatchewan.

That is three time more than the number of people living with diabetes and almost five times more than those living with heart disease.

It is time we do something.

And Jan. 25 is a good time to start.

Government announces public sector wage pay freeze

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

On Nov. 22, 2016, the Saskatchewan government announced an over $1 billion deficit. Jan. 11 saw letters go out to about 41 public sector groups asking for a freeze on any wage increases in 2017.

Finance Minister, Kevin Doherty discussed the letter on Jan. 16 at a media scrum that they are asking the employer groups to work with them on finding ways of bringing in a balanced budget in 2017-2018. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That will enable the employer groups across the province to start those discussions and consultations with employee groups on how they can work together.â&#x20AC;?

The Government of Saskatchewan is responsible for 39 collective bargaining agreements and along with 2 third party groups that they negotiate collective bargaining agreements with.

Wages and benefits comprise about $7.1 billion across government entities, says Doherty, so even a 1 per cent increase is substantial. What they are asking, says Doherty, is for them to keep the compensation levels the same in 2017-2018 as they have in 2016-2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I said at that time (Dec. 22) was the level of compensation across all government sectors has to remain constant,â&#x20AC;? said Doherty.

When asked the options for keeping down compensation, Doherty mentioned things from unpaid leave to not taking negotiated increment increases to lay offs.

When looking at the deficit itself, Doherty blames the drop in revenue from potash, oil and gas, and uranium that has caused a $1 billion deficit within the Saskatchewan government.

Tom Graham, President of CUPE Saskatchewan, said in a recent press release that the public sector is already facing budget short falls and shouldering the

burden of a deficit will not help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Public sector workers did not cause this deficit. Bad government decisions caused this deficit. And now the quality of the public services that Saskatchewan families depend on is at risk.â&#x20AC;?

President of the Saskatchewan Teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Federation, Pat Maze, says that school divisions and teachers are already dealing with tighter budgets and are looking into overall time caps and ways of decreasing work loads for Saskatchewan teachers.

For the Federation, the announcement from the government means that they will be at the table negotiating changes to things like the years of service increment increases, which determines teacher salaries for the first 10 years of their career outside cost of living expenses.

Maze says that they still expect the government to come to the table with an open mind and ready to look at the big picture.

2016 - Year in Review - July SARCAN Watson well equipped for growing demand For the fourth time in its existence, SARCAN Watson is now in a new location.

The larger building had its grand opening on Jun. 22 with a ribbon cutting and cake.

The new centralized location better serves the community, says ven der Buhs and it is more equipped to serve the growing demand in Watson.

With three chutes, a larger can crusher coming soon, and a more open public area, SARCANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employees can better serve the community.

On average, most SARCAN locations in the province only see increases of 3-4 percent of dropped off material.

Watson has seen an increase of 10-15 per cent every year for the last five years, says Acton.

Muenster celebrates academic and athletic achievement The Muenster School Awards ceremony took place on Jun. 21.

Awards were a mixture of volunteerism, community involvement, grades, athletics, and future plans.

One of Gerwingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well adjusted students is Grade 12 student, Carter Frerichs, who was the big winner for the day, taking home four awards, including the Muenster Elks Scholarship, the Access Communication Centennial Scholarship, the Affinity Credit Union Build a Better World Scholarship, and the Lenz-Weber Award.

Rain hurts Shake Rattle and Roll rally turnout St. Gregor played host to the sixth annual Shake Rattle and Roll on Jun. 25.

The event was a fundraiser for Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease with a portion of the money going towards the Dr. Ali Rajput Endowment for Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease and Movement Disorders Research at the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon and the rest of the money going to the Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Society of Canada.

Due to a significant amount of rain overnight on Jun. 24 and in the morning on Jun. 25 numbers were down sig-

nificantly for both the motorcycle rally, which saw a total of ten riders leave St. Gregor, down from the 73 they had last year and the show and shine, says Kiefer.

Those big numbers saw over 200 people enjoy the breakfast and an additional 220 enjoy the dinner, which was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fundraiser inside a fundraiserâ&#x20AC;?, says Kiefer, with proceeds from the dinner and the bar going towards the community club in St. Gregor.

Englefeld celebrates 100 years and 45th Hogfest Englefeld had a full weekend with not only their 45th annual Hogfest but also their 100th birthday celebration taking over the village.

The three day long weekend was packed with a parade, fireworks, slopitch tournament, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carnival, tradeshow, geocaching, hog roast, and pig drop.

Mayor, Darrell Athmer, says the village of 257 has a lot of people already but are welcoming everyone home to celebrate.

The celebration was even bigger this year with an added parade with over a hundred floats, the tradeshow packed the Englefeld School gym with 24 booths, and the fireworks on Canada Day were expanded to a 45 minute performance.

The pig drop was something new that was included this year. Flip Ehlers from LeRoy offered his helicopter and his piloting for a 50/50 raffle type fundraiser. Plastic pigs were dropped from the helicopter and the closest one to a designated spot won the prize money.

When it comes to turning 100, Athmer says a lot of communities in Saskatchewan never made it that far so it is an important thing to celebrate.

Naicam celebrates 95 years It is an honour that many Saskatchewan communities have not been able to reach.

But the 600 person town of Naicam was happy to celebrate its 95th anniversary on the weekend with a talent show, parade, barbecue, and more.

The fun kicked off on Friday with

EARLY DEADLINES February 22 Humboldt Journal February 24 East Central Trader

the Canada Day celebration, opening ceremonies, and talent show.

On Saturday, an over 60 float parade kicked off the morning followed by a barbecue put on by the Naicam Kiddie Kollege playschool as well as an open house for the museum, legion, and seniors centre, and a kids play area during the day and a supper, dance with the local band the Bad Habit, and fireworks in the evening.

Sunday included a pancake breakfast and community church mass.

As well as Naicam events, other events on the itinerary included fireworks in Spalding and the Lac Vert Old Time Country Fair and Barbecue.

Local artists happy to show off their spirit The 9th annual Spirit of Manitou Studio Trail saw many Saskatchewan artists open their doors to show off their work on Jul. 9-10.

The tour had fourteen stops along the trail from Meacham, to Watrous, to Manitou Beach and featured in total works from around 80 different artists.

All the artists said they had wonderful turn outs for their stops It has been a consistent showing each year with some artists coming and going from the tour but Ambrose says that 14 is manageable for the tour.

After 9 years of tours, Ambrose says that people are coming from all over the province, and some from even out of province, to participate in the tour.

Some locations were actual business galleries but most of the artists displayed their work in their own homes or at home based galleries.

Going wild at Cudworth Great Western Days The Town of Cudworth had beautiful weather for their Great Western Days on Jul. 8-9 with activities for all ages.

Organizer, Karla Yuzik, with the eight person Cudworth Recreation Board says they had been planning the weekend for about six months and had around 200 volunteers from the 766 person town for the 27th annual event.

This years event included a 15 team slo-pitch tournament, a train ride, face painting, bike decorating, and bouncy castle for kids, bubble ball rentals and ATV mud bogs, and a beer gardens and

concession.

Cudworth Recreation Lottery also had their first draw for 1 of 12 trips to drawn every month.

Stockbrugger farm hosts celebrity chef, teaches farming to Montrealersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; For farming brothers Lance and Lane Stockbrugger, their farm became a national stage on Jul. 13-14.

They not only hosted celebrity chef, Chuck Hughes, a restaurant owner and a celebrity chef from Montreal, but also three child/parent pairs from Montreal to teach them about where their food comes from.

This is part of the Hellmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Real Food program and a new campaign called, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Where Does it Come From?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Along with the numerous educational sessions being recorded by a film crew, a live stream session was also done featuring Hughes live from the farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Country Legendâ&#x20AC;? comes to Wadena Wadena got a little taste of Loretta Lynn on Jul. 19 at the Wadena Community Legion Hall.

On a warm summer evening the Legion Hall was filled with people as Amberley Beatty brought her Loretta Lynn tribute act to town.

The show was organized by the Wadena Arts Council with council chair Vie Haugerud saying she was really pleased with how the evening went noting there were people from all over at the show including Wadena, Melfort, Kelvington, and Prince Albert.

Beatty spent a large majority of her show among the crowd interacting with them in different ways and says it is an important part of her act.

Lake Lenore hosts heatwave Summer is the perfect time for town fundraisers.

This year was a slow year for the slo-pitch tournament with only 6 teams participating, says Moorman. In other years, especially last years tournament, they would get tons of entries. However this year was not the case.

Along with the slo-pitch tournament, Bingo, bouncy castles, sand pits, a petting zoo, beer gardens, supper, and dance were also included.

Proceeds from the day goes back into Lake Lenore and will be used for any repairs on town buildings, says Moorman.

BOSCHER: Paul Joseph September 27, 1928 - January 14, 2017 Paul Joseph Boscher of Saskatoon, SK, (formerly of St. Gregor, SK), passed away peacefully at his residence on Saturday, January 14, 2017. He was 88 years of age. Paul, the eldest son of Frank and Theresia (nee Jaud) Boscher was born on September 27, 1928, at home on their farm. He grew up there and attended Mintern School for Grades 1 to 8. When Paul started school, he could only speak German. When Paul completed school, he helped his Dad on the farm. In the winter months, he was employed at the lumber camps at Love and Carrot River, SK. In 1952, Paul met Louise Steiner at the Vidak farm on one of those Sunday afternoon shindigs. Louise was boarding there while teaching at Mintern School. Paul and Louise were married on September 7, 1954 at Englefeld, SK. They built a three-room house in the same yard where Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents lived. He and Louise lived there until 1965, and then moved to a larger two-storey house on their present day farm site. They also raised cattle, pigs, chickens and turkeys. Besides farming, in 1960, Paul was employed as a welder by John Schulte in Englefeld making snowplows. When the new Schulte Industries was built, Paul worked there for 22 more years as a machinist. During those years, he and his brother-in-law Henry ven der Buhs were instrumental in the design of a rock picker which became another main line of farm machinery manufactured by Schulteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Paul thoroughly enjoyed that job. As an active member of his community, Paul was a member of the Sask. Wheat Pool for 35 years and served on the St. Gregor Wheat Pool Committee for 25 years, serving as President for four. He was also a member of the Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Union, attending many conventions, and a trustee on the Englefeld School Board from 1972 -78. Paul and Louise enjoyed bowling in St. Gregor and strived for that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;perfectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; score, but never achieved it. In 1991, they both joined the St. Gregor New Horizons Club. They had a beautiful 50th Wedding Anniversary in September 2004 celebrating with the family, relatives and friends. Many memories remain from that celebration. Life on the farm slowed down after 2004. Paul and Louise enjoyed the farm life immensely, but had many occasions to travel; notably, Germany, Hawaii, Mexico and a family trip to Disney World. As always, Paul and Louise enjoyed camping at Wakaw Lake and Greenwater Provincial Park. Time spent away from the farm at any point was limited to just one week ... Paul just had to hurry back to the farm! You just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the farm out of the man. Another milestone took place in September 2014, when Paul and Louise celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary. Paul loved playing cards such as Chase-The-Ace, 7-Point Smear and Buck. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory will be missed by the family. He was a walking encyclopedia of knowledge. Paul sure enjoyed reading and studying each and every local history book and when asked a question would often just rattle the answer off. In March 2016 medical issues developed that forced Paul and Louise to abruptly move from the farm to Saskatoon to be nearer to the doctors, hospitals and family. It was very hard to leave the community of St. Gregor without even a goodbye, but it could not be helped. They made their new home at Stonebridge Crossing Retirement Community and continued to make a few trips back to the farm for visits and to rekindle fond memories. In fact, today was his last visit to the farm and we know he was smiling ear to ear! Paul is survived by his wife of 62 years, Louise (Steiner); six children: Melvin of Saskatoon, Mavis (Gary) Hartell of Saskatoon, Randal of Prince Albert, Debra (Murray) Fry of Martensville, Lyle (Leah) of Saskatoon, and Roger of Calgary, AB; grandchildren: Breanne (Hartell) and Andrew Couperthwaite, Logan and Tyson Hartell; Devon and Nikki Fry; Candice Boscher (Tyson Sheinin), Noelle, Larissa and Dustin Boscher; great-grandchild, Noah Sheinin; one brother, Edwin Boscher of St. Gregor; two sisters: Marie ven der Buhs of Englefeld, and Hildegard (Keith) Martin of Saskatoon; brother-in-law, Daniel Steiner of Humboldt; sisters-inlaw: Leonilla Fisher of Kamsack, Carole Steiner of Saskatoon, and Eileen Steiner of Regina; and by numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by one daughter, Theresia (1969); his parents, Frank and Theresia (Jaud) Boscher; two brothers, Daniel and Robert; brother-in-law, Henry ven der Buhs; sisters-in-law: Myrna and Thelma Boscher; one nephew, Myron ven der Buhs; and numerous relatives of the Steiner family. The Funeral Mass was offered at St. Gregory R.C. Church, St. Gregor, on Saturday, January 21, 2017, at 11:00 a.m., celebrated by Fr. Anthony Atter and concelebrated by Fr. Daniel Muyres, OSB. Others taking part were: David Boscher, crossbearer; Alyssa and Kelly Wuchner, altar servers; Leah Boscher and Daniel Steiner, scripture readers; Barbara Levesque, intentions; Breanne Couperthwaite and Nikki Fry, giftbearers; Randal Boscher, eulogist; Darlene Perry and Joyce Bugg, memorial table attendants. Music ministry was provided by organist Suzanne Taphorn and the St. Gregory Parish Choir. Honorary pallbearers were â&#x20AC;&#x153;all those who shared stories, laughed, played cards and had good times with Paul on coffee row over the many yearsâ&#x20AC;?. Active pallbearers were Logan Hartell, Tyson Hartell, Devon Fry, Dustin Boscher, Alain Boscher, and Tim Martin. Interment followed at St. Gregory R.C. Cemetery. Memorial donations may be directed to the St. Gregory R.C. Cemetery Fund. Schuler-Lefebvre Funeral Chapel, Humboldt, SK.

Her flower gardens brought her immense joy.

She was a self-taught horticulturist, and the extended growing season in Kelowna beckoned her. She resided in Kelowna for 35 years and then moved on to the seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; complex in Leduc for the latter part of her life.

Condolences may be left at Claraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online guestbook at www.serenity.ca.

Obituaries STUMBORG: Elvira Elizabeth May 30, 1930 - Jan 14, 2017 With a toast, some Hail Mary’s and a treasured family tune, loved ones sang Mom (Elvira Elizabeth Stumborg (nee Engele)) home on January 14, 2017.

Mom passed away peacefully at Melfort Union Hospital after suffering the effects of a stroke. ‘De kleines madchen’ (German for the little girl), Elvira was the youngest of 12 children born to Henry and Elizabeth Engele on May 30, 1930. A feisty child that proclaimed she cut off her bedposts rather than dust them, there were early signs she was going to be a strong and feisty woman. And Dad (Bernie) fell in love with that woman either when they danced the Blue Skirt Waltz or when she shot a gopher on their first date with her first shot (earning her the handle Eagle-Eye Engele). Mom and Dad wed on April 17, 1951 and thus it began! Their adventures took them down many roads: from road building, logging camps and white knuckle drives in BC to beginning their family farm just West of Naicam where they eventually settled and raised 10 kids. Like all roads, there were bumps along the way. But her quick wit and keen sense of humour, her strength and true grit but above all, her faith and devotion often maneuvered her and the family through. An avid and competitive ball player, Mom aptly could peg out a 2nd base steel from home plate. Also an established homemaker; knitting, crocheting, sewing, baking, preserving and canning were just among some of her many qualities. But it was her hospitality, home cooking and baking that were her crowning achievements. The door was always open and there was always more than enough to feed everyone.

Countless harvest meals were always served up hot and tasty and her reward was full bellies and the odd kiss at the combine from Dad. A gift for the finer arts, she was a self-taught musician able to strike a cord on anything with a keyboard, an eloquent and comical poet and a beautiful songstress. Mom’s musical family was a source of great pride and if offered the opportunity, she’d play you a song or invite you to a performance. And when time would allow, you’d find her walking the half mile or braiding a rug. Curious if she’s set St. Peter up with the rug for the pearly gates just yet! Elvira leaves to mourn her children Ginny (Bob Olson), Rodney, Harry (Faye), Myra (Jim Gansner), Mark (Della), Noel (Noreen), Joan, Norma, Ryan and Trina (Robert Graf), 26 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren, brother Roland (Mildred) Engele, brother-in-law Alvin (Agnes) Stumborg and sisters-in-law Evelyn Engele, Florence Pulvermacher, Julie Gibb, and Rose (Lloyd) Berry-MacDonald. Elvira was predeceased by her husband, Bernie, her parents, 10 siblings, son-inlaw (Colin Rosin), 2 grandchildren (Brianne and Stephanie) and 1 great grandchild, Harris. A mass was held on Friday, January 20 at 2:30 p.m., St. George’s Catholic Church, 401 Park Street N., Naicam, SK. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Labyrinth of Peace (attn Catherine Roberts), c/o Holy Trinity Catholic School Division, 502 6th Ave NE, Moose Jaw, SK.

University Senate connects the U of S to the province’s communities The histories of the province of Saskatchewan and the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) have been and always will be strongly connected. The university was established in 1907, only one year after Saskatchewan became a province.

University Senate plays a critical role in connecting the university to the public by providing a window on the activities and goals of the university, and also making the university aware of the needs of the larger community.

“I’m always so in awe at the level of engagement from all the participants,” said Corinna Stevenson, an elected member of senate for District 9, which includes Nipawin, Melfort and Hudson Bay. “It is a large group, and we get to not only understand university affairs better but also the perspectives of their stakeholders.”

Senate is a governing body made up of stakeholders of the U of S including students, past and current chancellors, the university president, vice-presidents, deans and elected members of our alumni representing areas across Saskatchewan and around the world. It also includes representatives of organizations with a connection to the university such as professional

governing bodies, and the minister and deputy minister of advanced education. A range of issues are discussed and addressed through the variety of perspectives that come together to compose senate.

“For my people, the Dene and northern people, you have to be a part of senate or executive and those kinds of things in order to influence any change and inclusions,” said Allan Adam, the elected member for District 10, which covers northeast Saskatchewan and includes communities such as Stony Rapids and Sandy Bay. “That’s one of my interests, to make sure our voice is heard from the North as well.”

Jim Pulfer, the elected representative for District 13, covering the city of Saskatoon, feels alumni in his community are quite happy with how things are going.

“But like all things in a democracy, if you become complacent and no one is taking an active part— bringing good ideas and discussing them between each other—then we miss out on a real opportunity to be the cradle of new policy,” he said. “That’s where I see senate playing a vital role, in that type of disclosure.”

Senate meets twice a year and the meetings are open to the public. The next meeting is scheduled for April 22.

There are 28 elected alumni on senate—one senator from each of the 14 districts across the province, and 14 membersat-large who may reside anywhere. Nominations for five members-at-large are currently open and run until March 1, 2017. To learn more, or to submit a nomination, visit usask.ca/ senate-election.

Ground-breaking Social Finance Pilot Assists Unemployed Canadians Saskatchewan Polytechnic is pleased to be part of the Essential Skills Social Finance (ESSF) project, dedicated to improving the skills of unemployed Canadians. Thanks to our Saskatchewan investor, Conexus Credit Union for helping start the first social finance project of this kind in Canada.

Canada has achieved an important milestone in its commitment to social financing for public good. The Government of Canada, private investors, and colleges and institutes are pushing the boundaries of social innovation and impact investing by implementing the first social finance project of its kind in Canada.

As the key project intermediary Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) is leveraging the principles of social finance through social impact bonds (SIB) to raise upfront capital from private investors who are looking to support societal good while receiving a financial return. With capital raised from three investors – Con-

exus Credit Union, the Catherine Donnelly Foundation, and Dave and Pamela Richardson and Family, the Essential Skills Social Finance (ESSF) project is now moving forward with the delivery of essential-skills training to improve the skills levels of unemployed adult Canadians.

Essential skills are needed for work and learning and help people evolve with their jobs and adapt to changes in the workplace.

Improvements in literacy, numeracy and computer use for Canadians with low essential skills can create better employment outcomes, accelerate inclusive growth, and diminish social and economic disparities.

If participants in the ESSF project achieve a demonstrated skills gain, the initial investments will be reimbursed, and investors may receive up to an additional 15% as a return on investment.

Through this pilot project, the Government of Canada is testing whether a payfor-performance model utilizing social im-

pact bonds is an effective way to increase the essential-skills levels of unemployed or displaced Canadians currently seeking

work, or additional education or training.

St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College: Live Your Education An imposing structure rising above the aspens and evergreens that line Highway 5 in central Saskatchewan, Michael Hall is the flagship of St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College.

The building inspires awe and curiosity to those travelling through the area.

Long time residents of the region are familiar with St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical and cultural significance. For more distant travellers who venture off the highway, they are delighted to find both stunning architecture on a picturesque campus and a modern, vibrant university college preparing students for their academic and professional futures. These visitors soon come to understand St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watchwords: Live Your Education!

The most common question is â&#x20AC;&#x153;What does St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College offer?â&#x20AC;?

The short answer is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lots!â&#x20AC;? As a long time affiliate of the University of Saskatchewan, St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College has evolved from a one-time boarding high school to technologically state of the art full service campus. As for the programs, St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is proud to offer complete first year programming for all direct entry University

That means the Colleges of Agriculture and Bioresources, Kinesiology, Arts and Science, Engineering, and the Edward School of Business are all at St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College. Our newest addition, direct entry College of Education, presents prospective teachers with a unique opportunity. Thanks to the cooperation of area school divisions, St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Education students in their first year will be involved in a mini-internship in rural schools. This is a wonderful chance for schools to gain enthusiastic pre-professional supports and for soon to be teachers to gain valuable insights
