The story of Red River grandmothers

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

When poet and essayist, Lorri Neilsen Glenn, set out to discover the story of her great grandmother, Catherine Kennedy Couture, it was not to write a book about the story.

It was to help her aunt, Kay, who had always wondered the story and Glenn took on the responsibility of looking into the steamboat crash that took their ancestors life.

That became the inspiration for Glenn’s book, Following the River: Traces of Red River Women, which she shared with the St. Peter’s College crowd for their third writer series.

“She died in a fire on a steamer north of Lake Winnipeg but (Kay) didn’t know the details...she didn’t have the wherewithal and didn’t know where to start to do the research.”

Glenn was curious too and started to find more and more information on the tragedy that took Couture’s life. Then it became a search for Couture’s contemporaries, then her Red River ancestors, and on and on. Glenn’s trips down the rabbit hole grew into four years of research while shaping and forming the many stories into a manuscript.

“It was a wealth of wonderful, fascinating material about these indigenous women and I thought, now what? How was I going to pull this into a story.”

In the end, Glenn would create a narrative story throughout the book while still telling the stories of the women she met along the way.

Even without a lot of the details of Caroline Prudence’s life as part of the social elite of the time, following the rabbit hole down through Prudence’s time period allowed Glenn to tell the story of Prudence going to a dance but being taken home when her father disapproved of her dancing the polka.

These stories of the times were the drivers of the book since they painted a more vivid picture of the times in which her grandmothers were raised.

The trip was emotional for Glenn since all the stories told are of her family and the women that surrounded them during their lives after contact with Europeans; something Glenn never learned in school to her frustration.

“I went to school in the Pas, Manitoba for a couple

Lorri Neilsen Glenn was happy to share her stories of Red River women during her reading at St. Peter’s College on March 7. Glenn started researching the death of her great-grandmother who died in a steamer fire north of Lake Winnipeg. Four years of research developed story after story of Red River women which turned into her book, Following the River: Traces of Red River Women, which she shared at her college reading. photo by Becky Zimmer of years and in the back were sitting people my age who most likely came from the Opaskwayak Cree Nation. They were sitting with me learning about the Magna Carta and the British North America Act.” Treaties and the nations of Canada were not things she was learning during that time but working on the book gave her the education she never had, she says.

This journey was something that Glenn has always

been interested in, especially when it comes to the scrapbooks and history that Kay has kept. Delving into this family history journey was something that Glenn encouraged the crowd to do, especially members of the audience who still have family living who can tell the stories.

Living the prairie boy dream with Life After Hockey

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Dancing Sky Theatre once again turned into a hockey arena for the return of Kenneth Brown’s play, Life After Hockey.

The one man show was first shown on the Meacham based stage in 1998 and with the return part of the 20th anniversary celebration that has been happening at Dancing Sky over the past year.

The new showing also means the return of Sean Hoy who made a triumphant return to the stage as Rink Rat Brown.

Hoy has moved on from performing and has been a recruitment officer and firefighter with the Calgary Fire Department.

But he was more than happy to revive the role of Rink Rat Brown as he spends the duration of the play telling this tall tale of how he scored the overtime game winning goal in the 1984 Canada Cup against Russia.

Rink Rat, this “prairie everyman” says Hoy is “living” every prairie kids fantasy even as an adult with a wife, kids, and a job.

Everyone would know someone or knew someone who knew someone like Rink Rat Brown, he says.

“It’s one of the those plays that really evokes life on the prairies for one thing and the shared experience most of us have as Canadians where we’ve grown up playing on outdoor ice rinks.”

Rink Rat is also a big Montreal Canadiens fan, which factors quite heavily into the story, with plenty of little stories inserted into the story; one of which is of him telling the story of meeting Guy Lafleur.

Since much of the play is about memory and, especially since him and Director Angus Ferguson have aged along with the play, Hoy says their perspective on the play has aged along with them.

The message that playwright Kennth Brown is talking about is a Canada that is gone now, says Hoy.

“You don’t see kids just going out on a Saturday morning playing shinny. Everybody is jumping in the minivan and being coached 12 months of the year now. Back then, you just played and that is a huge part of childhood that our kids don’t get.”

Compared to when the play was first performed, Hoy says that they are more aware of that message now that they are older.

Being able to step back into that role is something that Hoy is very grateful for since he fell in love with the role back in 1998.

In order to tell the story of Rink Rat, Hoy says he brings a lot of his own stories to bring those words to life.

Being the sole performer in a one man show, Hoy says it is strange not to have another person’s energy to bounce off of so he solely relied on the audience as a place to take his energy.

Doing the play 20 years ago, Hoy says he remembers the audience engaging with his character. The play even started with Hoy’s Rink Rat asking the audience a question.

“It’s not like you’re going to a pantomime or stand up where you’re eliciting responses from the audience but there is a lot of give and take (between) me, the musician, and the audience.”

Hoy considers the play a Canadian treasure deserving of more Canadian fame and Kenneth Brown up their with W.O. Mitchell in terms of writing the prairie story.

It’s showtime at a Golden Knights home game

By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

Fans showing up for Vegas Golden Knights games at T-Mobile Arena get more than just a hockey game. They get a show. Hey, it’s Vegas. Showtime!

Expansion teams are usually cellar dwellers for a couple of seasons, so the Vegas brainchild made sure fans would be treated to an unforgettable night out at the brand new arena, even if the hockey was forgettable and the losses piled up.

But something strange has happened. Wins, not losses, have piled up. In what might arguably be called the greatest surprising success story in sports — in the NHL at least, for sure — the Golden Knights have molded their crew of castoffs, rejects, third-liners and prospects into an NHL power, which speaks volumes for the

brainpower of GM George McPhee, his assistant Kelly McCrimmon, and the coaching staff led by Gerard Gallant.

Whether the home team wins or loses, though, a Golden Knights home game is three hours of solid entertainment — some of which happens on the ice. It starts with well-oiled and enthusiastic fans gathering on the plaza in front of the arena, follows with constant clips and messages from a variety of stars on the KnightTron scoreboard video system, a full-throated screaming of “KNIGHTS!” when the national anthem gets to “… gave proof through the KNIGHTS,” and more. Lots more.

Videos of fans whooping it up are a staple on the giant screen, because a pre-game message implores fans to “act like you’ve just won the jackpot” if they get their five seconds of bigscreen fame.

A five-man drum band keeps the beat flowing through the game — there are many bone-shaking vibrations, but no lulls — and the overly enthusiastic public address announcer turns it over to the crowd to yell the words ‘POWER PLAY!’ at the end of a commercial message at the start of a home-team extra-man situation.

This is Vegas, so intermission provides opportunity for more entertainment. On this night, when the Knights were playing LA, a Cirque du Soleil team from the Mirage show ‘Love’ performed a variety of acrobatic moves right on the ice. Later, a fan sitting with the Zamboni driver unfurled a sign proposing marriage to his girlfriend,

all caught up close and personal on the giant KnightTron screen, which then zeroed in on the woman. Luckily, the Knights’ mascot had the engagement ring and presented it to the teary-eyed woman. She said yes!

It’s easy to see why Vegas has the best home-ice record in the league. The noisy fans, the atmosphere, the musical distractions and the overall constant, drum-beat action give Gallant’s team a definite seventh-man edge. The starry-eyed opponents probably need a period or two to find their focus.

In Vegas, plunk down your $90 for the action. And stay for the game.

Who wins, who loses with Trans-Pacific Agreement

Calvin Daniels The recent signing of the Comprehensive and Progressive TransPacific Trade Agreement (CPTPP) in Santiago, Chile is generally being seen as a positive occurrence for Canadian farmers, well on the grain side of things at least.

Among the supporters is the Canola Council of Canada.

In a recent online posting the organization noted in a meeting just ahead of the recent signing ceremony in Santiago, Chile, the board of directors for

the Canola Council of Canada discussed how critical it is for Canada to implement the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) in order for the canola industry to continue thriving. The agreement will enable a significant increase in value-added canola exports.

“This week is a very positive step towards enabling more sustainable growth from canola exports,” said Jim Everson, president of the Canola Council of Canada in the prepared release.

“In today’s uncertain times, Canada’s signing of the CPTPP demonstrates how we can continue to be globally competitive by eliminating trade barriers through trade agreements.”

The release went on to detail Canada’s canola industry has grown into a world leader because of competitive access

to world markets. More than 90 per cent of canola produced in Canada is exported, though the Canadian industry cannot export value-added products to countries like Japan because of the high tariffs they apply to canola oil.

“When our value chain comes together around the board table, we look at what is required for our sector to continue supporting jobs and prosperity for Canadians across the country, including those in the middle class,” said Everson. “The CPTPP is critical for our sector, and we’re very pleased that the Government of Canada is committed to implementing this landmark agreement.”

Grain farmers in general appeared to be supportive of the recent deal.

Representing some of our most lucrative and fastest growing markets for grains, pulses, and

oilseeds, participation in this new trade agreement is an important step in meeting the Government’s ambitious target of $75 billion in agri-food exports by 2025, detailed a release from Grain Growers of Canada.

“Signing CPTPP, as well as the investments in Asian trade in Budget 2018, show the Government understands the importance of Asian markets to Canadian agriculture,” said Grain Growers of Canada President, Jeff Nielsen in the release. “We look forward to working with Ministers Champagne and MacAulay to ensure that we get the agreement ratified as soon as possible.”

But like most wideranging agreements the CPTPP is not as favourable to all sectors.

In another sector release Canadian egg farmers voiced disappointment in the CPTPP

deal for its failure to protect the future of Canada’s egg farms.

“Importantly, it also represents a hit on Canadian consumers, who want and expect fresh, local, high-quality eggs,” the release stated at www.eggfarmers.ca.

“The outcome of the CPTPP agreement means difficult challenges for Canada’s egg farmers, their communities and many farms and businesses they support,” according to Roger Pelissero, Chairman of Egg Farmers of Canada in the release.

Once fully implemented, Canadian egg farmers will have lost the right to produce close to 291 million dozen eggs, with an additional 19 million dozen eggs added each year after the implementation phase.

The total value of the trade deal represents close to $1 billion dollars in lost farm family income.

The Turkey Farmers of Canada (TFC) also came out as being troubled about the signing of the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).

“We believe this deal will harm the turkey sector,” said TFC Chair Mark Davies in a release from the organization.

“There was no need to maintain the market access levels of the original TPP, which were made in response to demands by the U.S., which is no longer part of the agreement.”

This deal will increase import access to the Canadian turkey market by 71 per cent, representing $270 million in lost farm cash receipts over the next 19 years, and a farm output loss of at least 4.5 per cent.

The problem with deals such as this, only time allows a full understanding of which sectors win, and which suffers.

Mark of Excellence perfect way to celebrate business

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Humboldt had an opportunity to promote local business on March 7 with the Mark of Excellence awards, something that does a great job of celebrating the amazing work of local entrepreneurs.

We are the only place in the world that has organizations like Campbell Greenhouse run by Mary Campbell, Canadian Organic Spice and Herb Co. run

by Colleen Haussecker, and Hergott Farm Equipment run by General Manager Len Hergott.

But this celebration was for more than just the 25 businesses nominated and seven winners. This was to celebrate all local businesses in Humboldt and area.

There are hundreds of businesses that deserve awards for helping communities thrive. Without these businesses and offering services, communities would be lacking vital services to keep people in the community.

According to the Government of Canada, there are 1,143,630 small businesses in Canada that employ fewer than 99 people. Together these busineeses employ over 8 million people.

Large businesses employ around 1.1 million, meaning small businesses make up 70.5 per cent of

the Canadian workforce.

In Saskatchewan, around 251,200 people are employed in 40,453 small businesses province-wide.

We need to celebrate that because it takes a lot to start and maintain a small business. Small-town businesses especially have their own set of unique challenges, with factors such as smaller consumer markets and isolation affecting their bottom line.

Colleen Haussecker, whose company, Canadian Organic Spice and Herb Co., was named Entrepreneur of the Year, said during her acceptance speech that it takes a community to have a successful business.

She said she is often asked how she can run a business in “the middle of nowhere� – the middle of nowhere meaning Watson, Sask.

This is a great place to do business, she says, with everyone helping you and rooting for you.

When it comes to support, we have so much available in the area to help small business owners.

There are businesses whose sole purpose is to help other businesses. Some offer mentorship opportunities to help other businesses thrive. Some create their own communities, willing to support fellow entrepreneurs.

In addition to highlighting some innovative and really interesting local businesses, the event also shone a light on the hard work done by Stacey Poss and Colleen Foster at the Humboldt and District Chamber of Commerce. These two work tirelessly behind the scenes to support the Humboldt business community, and this event showcases their talents as much as the nominated businesses.

It also served as a spotlight on the work of Dianne Olchowski and the Sagehill Community Futures staff as they work with new and existing owners on improving and maintaining their businesses.

Take advantage of a snow filled day

By Dr. Megan Parker, ND Health Columnist

After this weekends weather many of us started our weeks off with a snow day. Roads were snow covered, buses weren’t running and the streets were filled with snow. Whether you actually got a snow day off like many of the kids, your day was likely still affected by the snow.

Many see the heavy snowfall as a hassle.

Extra yard work that needs to be done. Missed appointments or meetings. Cancelled plans.

Slower, more cautious

commutes.

You might say I’m a glass half full kinda girl, but I see a lot of positives in snow days.

First and foremost: a fresh snowfall is beautiful.

It feels like we’re living in a life-size snow globe. The ground is white and fresh. Ahead of you lies a fresh patch of snow that has yet to be explored or walked on. It feels like a new start or beginning. Think of all the snow angels you’re able to make.

For those of you who love a good workout, a snow drifted driveway has got you covered.

Shoveling can burn a ton of calories and help you get your sweat on without feeling like you’re trapped inside the gym. When we get dumped on like we did, be sure to take breaks when shoveling to avoid injury. I know I’m very grateful for my generous neighbour who blew my driveway or I would have been shoveling for hours. There is such a thing as too much shovelling.

More snowfall also means more winter activities.

I know I’m not the only one who loves playing outside in the snow.

More snow means better skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and crazy carpeting. We might as well enjoy the conditions while they exist as spring will be here before we know it.

Snow days also give us the opportunity to reflect.

Life is slowed down considerably with road conditions impeding travel. Often school, work, meetings are cancelled to prevent the number of people on the roads. Is this such a bad thing?

Most of us are constantly on the go from one activity to another.

A snow day allows us the opportunity for a muchneeded break and slow down. Is all the rushing around that we do absolutely necessary?

Heavy snowfalls can also bring us closer as a community. Most days we are all lost in our own grind of work, activi18033TS1

ties, life, family, etc. We don’t take the time to stop and really notice the world around us. This week I heard countless stories of people being “neighbourly� or acting as snow angels. Helping to clear snow for a neighbour, pulling out a stuck vehicle or slowing down to help someone cross the street.

Even though many of you may have negative feelings towards the snowfall itself, I see a lot more smiling faces and positive interactions as a result of it. Let’s not forget about the kindness someone showed you

or the desire you had to help out once this snow melts.

We can’t control Mother Nature, but we can control our outlook towards her wrath.

Let’s all take a minute to be thankful for this reminder to slow down in our busy lives and enjoy the fresh powder.

Grain movement crisis: Local MP hopes meeting will get Liberals moving

By Devan C. Tasa For the Humboldt Journal

An emergency meeting in Ottawa could provide a glimmer of hope for farmers unable to move their grain to market.

Prince Albert MP Randy Hoback, along with his Conservative colleagues Luc Berthold and John Barlow, managed to convince members of all parties that sit on the House Committee On Agriculture to hold an emergency meeting on the issue March 19.

“We were surprised,” Hoback said.

“We figured the Liberals would do what the Liberals normally do and try to adjourn the meeting or do something so it wouldn’t happen, but in this situation they agreed with us and agreed to do the meeting on the 19th.”

The MP said they wanted the meeting on March 15, as that’s the day the

Canadian National and Canadian Pacific railways are supposed to table their game plan for moving the grain, but the Liberal majority on the committee blocked that move.

Hoback said when the committee met March 7, some action resulted. CN replaced their CEO and gave farmers an apology. Farm Credit Canada has come with a game plan to help with the lack of cash flow farmers are seeing due to being unable to sell their product.

“Shining a light on the issue does help a bit and it puts pressure on the government.”

Hoback said there needs to be more action from the federal government besides the meeting. He said the federal cabinet needs to give an orderin-council to the railways that fines them if they don’t transport a certain

amount of grain.

Liberal MP Ralph Goodale has told the Western Producer his government is waiting to see documents from both major railways about their plans to fix the backlog before resorting to an order-in-council.

Complicating matters is legislation.

The Conservatives had passed bill C-30 while in government, which fined the railways for lack of performance.

That legislation expired a year ago.

That legislation is to be replaced with C-49, which Hoback said is stuck in the Senate and is in need of amendments.

“It’s an omnibus-type bill. It’s got air transportation, it’s got semi-truck transportation. It’s got a variety of things tied into one bill including rail,” he said. “We’ve asked them to separate the rail part of it out of that bill so we could deal with it separately

and avoid a situation like the one we have today and the Liberals refused to do that last fall.”

Hoback said he didn’t think the legislation would be out of the Senate until the end of May. “What I would suggest to them [the Liberals] is do the order-in-council until C-49 gets the appropriate amendments and then moves through the Senate and then comes back to the House and you get a better piece of legislation.”

The MP said there were signs there was going to be a backlog and that the government could have been more proactive by bringing in an order-incouncil around Christmastime.

“It’s frustrating. It’s really frustrating,” he said. “It didn’t have to be this way. It just absolutely didn’t have to be this way.”

Wadena falls one win short of provincial semi-final berth

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

The Tim Horton’s Brier playoffs may have been taking place over the weekend but for a quartet of local curlers their attention was placed firmly on another bonspiel.

For the foursome from Wadena, the weekend of March 9-10 meant traveling to Ituna for the senior girls provincial championship.

SAY GOODBYE TO BATTERIES!

Wadena was pooled up with Moosomin McNaughton, Allan, and Gull Lake for the round robin portion of the bonspiel, with the top two teams in each of the two pools earning spots in the semi-finals.

The bonspiel got off to a tough start for Wadena as they dropped a 6-4 decision to Allan.

The loss left Wadena with a 0-1 record, and virtually forced them to win four straight if they wanted to be crowned provincial champions.

Knowing the position they were left with, Wadena came out focused in their second contest as they took

on Gull Lake.

After struggling in their opening match, Wadena rebounded beautifully against Gull Lake, scoring eight times en route to an 8-5 victory.

The win left Wadena with a 1-1 record, tied with Allan, while their final round robin opponent, Moosomin McNaughton, held a record of 2-0.

Knowing they needed a win to move into the next round, Wadena could not muster up the kind of shot making required to pull out the win as they were routed 10-1.

The loss left Wadena with just a 1-2 record, which was not good enough to qualify for the semi-final, as Allan beat Gull Lake in their final round robin contest to improve to 2-1.

With Wadena not eligible to move into the semifinal, they saw their curling season come to a close.

Green and gold playoff bound

Broncos preparing for tough opening round series against rival Mustangs

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

It is going to be tough and it is going to be physical as the Broncos move into the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League playoff series against the Melfort Mustangs. “That’s really what it’s going to come down to is who wants it more and who’s willing to pay more of a price to win,� noted Broncos head coach Darcy Haugan. “I haven’t seen too many playoff series that hasn’t looked like that.�

The Broncos will kick off that series on the road, with game one in Melfort on March 16.

Heading into the series the banged up Broncos will enjoy a ten-day break between their final regular season contest and game one of the playoffs.

Having such a lengthy break will be huge, says Haugan, who notes to further enhance the rest and recovery factor the players were given some time off and were able to go home.

Players spent the latter part of the week of March 5 away from the rink, before returning to Humboldt to prepare for their first round playoff series on March 10.

Broncos stumble into playoffs The Broncos head into the playoffs as an interesting case.

After dominating much of the second half of the season, piling up wins at an impressive rate, the Broncos took their foot off the gas, electing to rest many of their top players over the final few games, and ended the season losers of three straight including the last two by a combined score of 11-2.

Despite the up and down end to the season, Haugan notes it is inconsequential. “History shows you that teams have gone into the playoffs smoking hot and they’ve lost out in four straight. Teams

have gone in slumping really bad and they’ve been able to go on a nice run so really it means nothing.�

Haugan notes that has been a focus of the team all season, saying what the team did yesterday has no bearing on what they will do today or tomorrow. “Our sole priority is taking care of today and becoming better and that hasn’t changed since the day one that I got here,� he noted.

It does not matter what has happened in the last few games of the regular season, says Haugan. All that matters now is getting better for the future. “We’d be crazy to put so much stock and emphasis into those last kind of three games. But some of the things we are going to fix is some of the habits and hopefully get guys’ focus back.�

Head-to-head The Broncos come into the series against the Mustangs having finished with six fewer wins, and 12 fewer points. “We know that they play a heavy game, we know what they’re about,� noted Haugan of what is facing them. “They going into this playoff series probably on more of a high than we are because they beat Nipawin a couple of times.� “They’ve got arguably the best Dman in the league with Loch Morrison, they’ve got good goaltending with (Evan) Plotnik and they just got (Tyler) Heidt back and they got (Kayle) Tosh.

They generate a lot of offense from the back end and really all four lines can play and play a real heavy game.�

Despite the Mustangs carrying a significant edge in points into the series, the Broncos know they can play with the Mustangs having finished with a 3-3 record, which featured two straight wins and wins in three of the

final four games between the two teams this season.

Despite holding the recent edge, much like their three game slide, Haugan does not put much stock into their recent success against the Mustangs, noting it is inconsequential, pointing to last year against Nipawin as proof. “Last year when we went into the Nipawin series, we’d won three of six and we weren’t able to win a game.

Goaltending’s going to be critical for us. Everything that we do, attention to detail is just magnified, every decision you make and you’ve got to be able to compete and execute.�

Mustangs defense is offensive While the two teams played a pretty even season series, the one area the Mustangs dominated the Broncos was production from the back end, where the duo of Loch Morrison and Adam Hergott combined for three goals and eight assists. “Our tracking’s got to be really good.

We’ve got to come back with a purpose and we’ve got to be aware and alert and really just focused,� noted Haugan.

One of the areas the Broncos will have to be at their best is in their own zone, notes Haugan, who says the Mustangs forwards do a great job below the hash marks, and once a team starts collapsing on their forwards, it opens up space for the defensemen to operate. “We’ve got to be really dialed in shift and out. But if we can play the way we are and play to our strengths, which is skating and our speed.�

Broncos top line shines While the Mustangs got a significant amount of production out of their defensemen, it was the Broncos’ forwards, particularly their top line who did the damage for the green and gold.

The pair of Logan Schatz and Nick

Shumlanski, who only played in two of the six contests, as well as Conner Lukan and former Mustang Jaxon Joseph, both of whom spent time on the Broncos’ top line, combined for nine goals and ten assists against the Mustangs this season. “We’ve got some slick guys up front who can hopefully continue to put the puck in the back of the net and we should be able to counter how they play. It’s going to be a tough series.�

Power play struggles As has been a concern all season, the Broncos’ power play struggled against the Mustangs managing just three goals on 23 opportunities. “Hopefully we can get the timely goals on the power play we’re going to need but honestly it’s been a weak link in our game this year. Without a doubt it has been. But we’ve got to find ways to simplify that and try to generate more,� noted Haugan.

While special teams can play a major role in deciding a series, Haugan points to last year’s series against Nipawin as proof that there is more to winning playoff games, than winning the special teams battle. “Last year against Nipawin we won the special teams battle. We had a better power play, we had a better penalty kill against them and we lost the series...

The more that that clicks obviously the better chance you have.�

The Broncos come into the series trailing in the all-time head-to-head playoff meetings between the two teams having won just four of nine series, but the Broncos have won the last two series, and four of the last five dating back to 2002-2003.

The green and gold will look to extend that streak starting March 16 on the road, with game two coming in Melfort on March 17.

Proud to support the Humboldt Broncos! Good luck!

Previewing SJHL Playoffs

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League playoffs are upon us and we have some very interesting match ups for the quarterfinal round.

At the time of writing, two of the four SJHL series have been decided, while two more will be decided once the survivor series is complete.

The Estevan Bruins know they will have home ice advantage when they take on Kindersley, and ditto for Melfort, who will be taking on Humboldt (See Broncos preparing for tough opening round series against rival Mustangs).

Kindersley Klippers vs. Estevan Bruins Season Series: Kindersley: 2-0-2, Estevan: 2-2 (Klippers outscored Bruins 13-12) Power Plays: Kinderlsey: 4-for-17, Estevan: 3-for22 Top Scorers: Kindersley â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tanner Thompson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3 goals, 4 assists Estevan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hayden Guilderson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3 goals, 2 assists Goalies Kindersley â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Justen Close â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1-0-2 record with a .946 save percentage Estevan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bo Didur â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1-1 record with a .918 save percentage Last Playoff Meeting: 2012-2013 Survivor Series: Estevan wins 3-1 Total H2H Playoff Records: Series tied 1-1 (20122013 Survivor Series: Estevan wins 3-1, 2008-2009 Survivor Series: Kindersley wins 3-2) Other Series While those four teams are in the midst of preparing for their quarterfinal series, the Nipawin Hawks and Battlefords North Stars, the SJHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top two teams after the regular season, will have to wait.

The Survivor Series featured a pair of matchups with seventh seeded Weyburn taking on tenth seeded Melville, while the eight-nine matchup will see Notre Dame hold home ice for their best of three against Flin Flon.

The lower seed amongst the Survivor Series will take on top seeded Nipawin in round one, while the higher seed will draw the reigning league champion North Stars.

Nipawin Hawks While the Hawks are unsure of who they will play, they do know they will not be playing Weyburn in round one, as a Red Wings victory means Nipawin will automatically take on the winner of the Flin Flon/Notre Dame series.

Each matchup provides a stark contrast in styles for the Hawks, who have enjoyed tremendous success against some of the teams, and much less success against others.

The North Stars, like the Hawks, do not yet know who they will be playing but know, should Melville beat Weyburn, that they would be playing the winner of the Notre Dame-Flin Flon series.

Much like the Hawks, the North Stars will be keeping a close eye on those series, as they have enjoyed varying levels of success against their potential opponents this season.

Schatz looks back on his four years as a Bronco

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League playoffs are right around the corner, and for a number of 20-year-olds this is their last shot at winning a championship.

For Humboldtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Logan Schatz, that means not only his last shot at a league title, but also his days as a Bronco are numbered.

The 20-year-old Allan native is wrapping up his second full season wearing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Câ&#x20AC;? for the green and gold, and his fourth overall, after being named captain in early 2016.

Schatz admits the transition to being captain was not an easy one, noting he was just 18 at the time and in just his second season of junior A hockey, but noted he was fortunate to have some veteran players on the team help him out. photo by Christopher Lee â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taught me a lot with having to deal with everybody on the team and keep guysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; emotions in check and you just become so much closer with everybody memories are of playing Family Day afternoon games trying to become better friends with them, making sure against Nipawin, and most recently Melfort, and says last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoff series with Nipawin was another memory that everybody feels at home,â&#x20AC;? he noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m definitely honoured to wear the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Câ&#x20AC;? on my jersey he will not soon forget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though we lost, just to see the support and the for the past two and a half years and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely going to help me out in the long run with the leadership that rally behind our team towards the end of the year and in the playoffs, I think that was a really cool experience and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned.â&#x20AC;?

It is also his fourth full season wearing the Broncos hopefully we can make it last a little longer this year and have the city do the same thing again.â&#x20AC;? uniform.

Of course, while Schatz was making memories on Schatz is also the final connection the current players on the ice have to Dean Brockman, after he made his debut as the ice, off of it he had bumps in the road he needed to a 16-year-old with Brockmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Broncos in the 2013-2014 overcome.

While Schatz has been a member of the green and gold season, registering three assists in his lone game.

Having gone through three amazing coaches in his four for four full seasons, he did spend parts of two of those on plus years as a Bronco, Schatz admits it has not been the the sidelines recovering from a pair of injuries.

The first came in his first season when he crashed into easiest ride, but says he has enjoyed his time as a Bronco. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been some crazy experiences, a lot the boards, causing back and neck injuries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was out for a couple months and I just got back before of different experiences with the different coaches and now that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on a winning team itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more fun to playoffs but I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as big of a part of the team as I was definitely play in front of a community and a crowd that last year when I got hurt at the start of the year.â&#x20AC;?

The second injury came in the early stages of his third really supports their players.â&#x20AC;?

Schatz first joined the Broncos full-time as a 17-year-old, season with the Broncos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being hurt when I was 17 definitely helped when I got and while he says moving away from home to play midget as young as 15 helped prepare him from being away from hurt last year. Obviously it was a tough injury and I was home, he had no idea what the next four years would hold. looking to have a really good year and so was the team â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody throughout the organization was so wel- and just the toughest part was just sitting in the stands coming and with the billets that I had, they were great and watching the guys on the ice every day when I just people and were like a second family to me. So I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything.â&#x20AC;?

Schatz noted he had some great physiotherapists help enough good things about the City of Humboldt.â&#x20AC;?

Looking back on his time, Schatz notes his favourite him recover, and noted while it was tough being out, the

injury helped make him a stronger person and player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy with how things are now.â&#x20AC;?

Schatz was able to return last season for the second half, and helped push the Broncos into the playoffs, where they were swept by Nipawin.

Schatz returned this season focused and it showed as he piled up career highs in goals, assists, and points, and finished second in league scoring with 85 points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been my most fun year as a part of the Bronco organization. We have a really good team this year obviously and I made some really great friends and I have brothers on the team. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m definitely really excited to get things going in the playoffs.â&#x20AC;?

While injuries kept Schatz from reaching 200 regular season contests, they did not keep him from working his way amongst the Broncos elite.

Schatz wrapped up his career with 46 goals, and 145 assists for 191 points, making him the highest scoring Bronco since Devin Edgerton scored 256 points between 1989 and 1991.

Schatz admits that it is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty cool feelingâ&#x20AC;? to lead the team in points over the last 25 years, but says he has not had a lot of time to really process it, noting that it will really start to sink in once the season is over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been so many great players come through this organization and for people to be able to put my name against them is awesomeâ&#x20AC;Ś Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a cool thing.

Me and my dad were talking about it the other day and he just told me how proud he was so it was a pretty good feeling hearing that as well.â&#x20AC;?

Schatz credits his parents for helping along the way through minor hockey and his coaches for putting in the work to help make him a better player, noting Broncos head coach Darcy Haugan has been a huge help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough good things about him and thank him enough with everything heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done for me.â&#x20AC;?

Of course, there is still work left to be done for Schatz, as well as his Broncos teammates as they begin their quest for a league title.

With everything he has accomplished in his career, a long playoff run is the one thing missing, and Schatz notes winning a title this season would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;everything.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I can win a championship with my brothers in Humboldt, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be amazing. I definitely worked pretty hard these past four years to get to where I am and to be able to do that with all the guys in the room this year would be a pretty awesome feeling.â&#x20AC;?

The Broncos kick off their playoff series March 16 in Melfort.

In Memoriam

FRANKO: Douglas James, 62 years, of Quill Lake passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Saturday, March 3, 2018 at Humboldt District Hospital. Doug was born on September 12, 1955 at Quill Lake to John and Ruby (nee Friesen) Franko. He grew up on the family farm, actively helping as soon as he was old enough to, and attended school in Quill Lake. When he finished school, he took a job surveying with his uncle. Doug worked a variety of jobs over the next few years in Saskatoon including at Robin Hood and selling life insurance. On August 17, 1974, Doug married Connie Hiebert. Later, he began working as a grain buyer, working for various companies and in numerous locations throughout Saskatchewan over the next few years.

Missing the farming lifestyle, he started farming back at Quill Lake in 1988 and then in 1989, the family made the move to the farm where they have lived and farmed ever since. They operated a mixed farm, at times having over 100 head of cattle. Not one to sit idle, Doug also continued to work for various grain companies including Alberta Food Products (now Bunge), Northeast Terminal, and Parrish & Heimbecker. While farming was his number one interest, he enjoyed many outdoor activities including, snowmobiling, fishing, hunting and camping. He golfed for many years in the summer and was an avid curler in the winter months. In his younger years, he was a volunteer fire fighter and was presently on the Board of Directors at Accent Credit Union. Doug enjoyed a good game of cards and visiting with family and friends. He liked going to auction sales, but could also be found bidding online and searching kijiji for great buys.

He had a loyal companion in their German Shepherd, Zena (aka Beaner) and they were often seen walking the farm together.

Doug?s greatest joy was becoming a grandpa; he adored each and every one of his grandchildren and loved spending time with them. He will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his wife of 43 years, Connie Franko of Quill Lake; three children, seven grandchildren and one grandson, due this spring: Theressa Franko (Scott Hiscock) and daughter Meagan Spatt of Blackfalds, AB; Corry (Brad) Binsfeld and children Ryan, Allison and Jaxon of Muenster; and Adam (Janelle) Franko and children Madison, Emily and Owen of Luseland; his mother Ruby Small of Saskatoon; two brothers and one sister: Dwayne Franko and Brenda (Sherman) Francis, all of Saskatoon and Randy Franko of Quill Lake; mother-in-law Agnes Hiebert of Saskatoon; and numerous in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He was predeceased by his father John Franko; father-in-law John Hiebert; sister Melanie Franko and grandson Dylan Binsfeld.

The Funeral Service for Doug was held on Saturday, March 10, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at the Quill Lake Community Hall, officiated by Rev. Brenda Curtis. Interment will take place at a later date in the Quill Lake Cemetery. Memorial donations in Dougâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory may be made to the Humboldt District Hospital Foundation or the Quill Lake Curling Club. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Malinoski & Danyluik Funeral Home, Humboldt (306-682-1622

Producers looking for solutions at saline soil workshop

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

With record high water tables, producers are frustrated with the level of saline soils they are having to deal with.

Charlotte Asplind, manager of the Carrot River Valley Watershed says this is not a new issue but one that may continue to worsen if more dry years are in the forecast.

“With a drier year last year, water levels went down in many places in the watershed. There is a lot of speculation that we may continue with some drier years.”

While there are other places in the province that are dealing with higher levels of salinity than producers in the Carrot River Valley, Asplind says it is still an issue for a lot of producers.

With increased salinity a possibility in the next few years, Asplind says they considered this to be an important time to discuss causes of saline soils and possible ways producers can alleviate the impacts to their yields.

Victoria Nameth, Regional Crop Specialist with the Ministry of Agriculture, wanted producers to understand the reality of soil salinity.

With a high water table and a dry 2017, water is coming up through the soil to evaporate leaving behind salts in the soil, she says.

There is no quick fix.

“You can’t just fix the problem for its symptoms, you really have to understand what the mechanism is to know how to manage it properly.”

The three mechanisms with saline soil creation, artesian drainage, bathtub rings, and side hill seeps, all have to do with water movement through the soil and aquifers.

As owner and agronomist with Field Good Agronomics Ltd., Larry Durand sees the impact saline soils are having on local Carrot River Valley Watershed producers.

Quoting Les Henry and his article in Grainnews in 2016, Durand concurs that, “there is only one fundamental cause of soil salinity: a high water table and conditions where evaporation exceeds precipitation.”

Taking acres out of production and seeding perennial grasses is a way farmers could save money on acre.

“If you farm them status quo, just putting in all your crop inputs, which can be very expensive, you’re not getting much yield out of there if you’re only getting five to 10 bushels, in some cases no bushels (per acre).”

In Durand’s example for wheat, canola, barley, and peas, reducing those areas meant thousands of dollars in producers pockets by removing those nonproductive areas out of production through planting perennial grasses and forages.

Using high water using plants and saline tolerant plants are also going to keep down evaporation while also allowing water to move down in the soil to move salinity.

Smaller salt patches are becoming big salt patches which are taking away from yields and there are ways of mapping and tracking that, Durand says.

However, producers have to know their fields and the variable that comes with managing yields.

“We can make a lot of pretty maps but we’ve got to take those maps into the field and this is where the boots to dirt comes in and ground truth those maps so you know what the maps mean.”

Durand presented on the economic impacts of saline acres and ways producers can reduce the impacts on soil salinity with a few options available.

With some organizations like Ducks Unlimited paying producers for those non-productive acres to be planted to grass cover, this is a viable option for producers in dealing with saline soils.

Other options include variable rates of input with producers putting in lower fertilizer and higher seed rates into saline areas and tile drainage which can help lower the water table in certain areas and keeping salts out of productive soils.

These options can also be used together to help keep saline soils productive instead of a money drain, says Durand.

Producers have to consider the price of these options as well and whether these will be long term solutions.

Viscount news

By Sandra Reid Correspondent Wow that was a lot of snow we received in a short amount of time. As everyone is aware.

On March 10, there were 18 people that were out for breakfast at the Viscount Seniors Fund-

raising Breakfast. Workers were Chris Rault and Monica Palfy.

The lucky loonie winner was George Gray.

On March 5, even with the heavy snow that we had received, the Seniors were still busy with the afternoon games of pool,

crib etc.. It was an afternoon enjoyed by all those that attended.

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

Thank you to all that make Viscount news happen.

Have a great week.

Plenty of reasons to visit the EPA this playoff season

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League playoffs are here.

This is an exciting time for all junior A players whose seasons are still going, and that includes the hometown Humboldt Broncos.

The Broncos, who head into the playoffs as the league’s fifth seed have given fans plenty of reason to get excited over the final two and a half months.

Last three games aside, where the Broncos elected to rest most of their key guys, the final two and a half months of the season were the Broncos’s best this season.

In fact, with the exception of the Nipawin Hawks they were the best team in the SJHL in 2018.

The Broncos head into the playoffs with the league’s second leading scorer in captain Logan Schatz, and newly crowned co-Rookie of the Year in Jacob Wassermann.

Together that pair and the rest of the Broncos, which feature Wassermann and four other Humboldt

natives, head into the playoffs where they will take on Melfort.

Sure Melfort finished with five more wins and 12 more points but this series will be a lot closer than the standings show.

The Mustangs made up a lot of their gap on the Broncos early in the season when the green and gold were still finding their way.

The Broncos actually had cut the deficit to six points with a couple of weeks left in the season, but Humboldt eventually ran out of games.

Knowing they could not move up or down the Broncos elected to rest some players, and the Mustangs stretched out the gap.

This is going to be a fun series, and if their final showdown was any indication they do not seem to like each other very much.

So if you are a fan of tough, physical, nasty hockey, this should be the series for you.

If you like skilled hockey, there should be some of that too.

Not only do the Broncos possess Schatz, who finished second in

points scoring, but they have Nick Shumlanski and Conner Lukan, who each reached the 50-point plateau and Jaxon Joseph, a former Mustang, who scored 28 goals.

These two teams are even, having played six times with each team winning three times.

If you are looking for a distinction between the two teams there aren’t many, but the one thing the Broncos can hang their hat on is they are 2-0 against their highway 368 rivals since January.

This should be fun.

Between the opponent, the way the team have played since Christmas, and the players on the team there are plenty of reasons to be excited about this Broncos playoff run.

And they did their job on the ice this season, now it’s the fans’ job to be loud and proud.

Let’s make Humboldt a tough place to play this playoff year.

Let’s create the best seventh man in the league.

The players need it.

St. Gregor residents Plunkett sick of muddy tap water news

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Water quality in St. Gregor has been a problem for a few years now.

And residents are starting to speak up.

Maria Classen says that spring and summer in St. Gregor means dirty water coming out of pipes at her home, everything from toilets to tubs to sinks to, Classen is sure, even her water heater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On a regular basis...our water comes out with a thick sediment in it which makes it the colour of mud or dark coffee when it comes out.â&#x20AC;?

Classen says they have been told that the water is safe but her and many other residents do not use the water for drinking.

Letting the water sit, all the sediment goes to the bottom of the container and it takes a couple of days before the water starts running clear again.

Classen recently posted on Facebook an exceptionally bad day where the water was quite dark which took two days to clear.

Usually Classen says she knows when her water is going to come out muddy, especially after heavy water use, heavy rainfalls, or power outages.

This last time she does not know what caused the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This time it was quite bad and it affected more people in town than it usually does for no reason.â&#x20AC;?

Classen has now contacted the Water Security Agency, Todd Goudy MLA for Melfort, Health Canada, and the Ministry of Environment in order to report the extent of the problem.

By Deloris Sutherland Correspondent Recently visiting Ed Drachenberg and Elaine was his son Darcy from Korea. He has returned home now.

Get well greeting go out to Annie Dopko who is in the hospital in Humboldt. We wish her a speedy recovery.

Birthday greetings go out to Julia Galvin (Farago) who turned 101 years old last month. She was formerly from the Plunkett area on a farm and now lives in a nursing home in Watrous.

Get well greetings go out to Bob Shoemaker of Saskatoon, who recently broke his leg in two places and has been in the hospital in Saskatoon.

The Plunkett and Viscount ladies are busy making blankets for Blankets for Canada every week here in Viscount.

Several folks enjoyed a lovely Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supper at the Plunkett Hotel on Feb. 14.

Several folks enjoyed the Olympic Games in South Korea. The athletes worked hard to bring home medals.

Does anyone else put things in a safe place and then forget where the safe place is and then find it later?

Ken and Inez Wilson from Saskatoon visited us recently.

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

Thank you kindly.

Water problems has wrecked havoc on Maria Classen and other members of the St. Gregor community. Classen says her toilet is not even 2 years old but is heavily stained from the water in St. Gregor. Classen has recently contacted numerous government organizations about the state of water in the village. photo courtesy of Maria Classen
