LeRoy School turns pink for anti-bullying

LeRoy was decidedly pink on March 15 for their fourth annual Pink Day. Seven schools participated in the day, including LeRoy, Quill Lake, Watson, Drake, Imperial, Lanigan, and Muenster. Students spoke about bullying and how to confront it and prevent it with the LeRoy students creating their own antibullying presentation and Wali Shah and Blake Fleischacker being guest speakers for the event. photo by Becky By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

It is a problem that LeRoy School students wanted to address themselves. And thanks to the LeRoy Student Representative Council (SRC), the fourth annual Pink Day in LeRoy on March 15 saw 500 students pack the school gym to speak about bullying. Students from LeRoy Muenster, Quill Lake, Imperial, Lanigan, Watson, and Drake took in two anti-bullying presentations from special guests, Wali Shah and Blake Fleischacker, as

well as group presentations from the LeRoy students and Katrina Alarilla speaking about being bullied in the Philippines before moving to Canada. Alarilla performed a song she wrote about the experience. Planning Pink Day has been a six month venture for the SRC, advisors, and staff, says LeRoy Principal Annette Zentner. However, while the adults worked to facilitate the event, “getting PINK Day off the ground and carried through to the end is filled with numerous leadership opportunities for our student leaders on SRC

and within the student body,” says Zentner. “The students really do it all. They were committed, hardworking and enthusiastic about this entire event.” SRC Co-president Wyatt Panter says it is all about making choices. “Being kind to others by making that choice can change their life.” Like the students said in their presentation, young people make choices everyday, from how they wear their hair to whether to drink orange juice before or after brushing their teeth. Students can also make the choice to appreciate one another, which was the focus of Fleischacker’s presentation to the students. Fleischacker encourages students to find innovative, creative, and unique ways of showing appreciation so that it is not awkward to deliver but exciting to deliver. “What it can do for students at schools and groups of friends is that it gives a choice to choose how do they want to interact with each other in person and online.” Fleischacker says students can choose ways of hurting themselves and others both in person and online as well as helping themselves and others.

The three main reasons people do not show appreciation is they think it is weird, they forget, or they do not know what to say, says Fleischacker. The first step, he says, is just sending that message saying thank you. That starts the conversation, says Fleischacker. Especially in a small community where people know each other for a long time, things can go unsaid. “Sometimes people assume their friends and family know how much they appreciate them or the impact they’ve had but those friends or family members might not have ever heard the specific impact they’ve had.” This appreciation can also have a wider reach, says Fleischacker, since employers can often have that problem in relation to employee retention. People even leave relationships because of feeling under appreciated. Adding that appreciation into everyday life is the goal, says Fleischacker, which can lead to people feeling appreciated and passing it on. “This is a simple, small proactive approach to saying, what if we build this into our day to day life in a way that’s sincere, thoughtful, and relevant...more of it will happen which can ripple out.”

New artists on display with the St. Peter’s Student Show By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Grant McConnell and Clint Hunker once again had some difficult choices ahead of them to chose pieces for the St. Peter’s College Student Exhibit now up in the Humboldt and District Gallery. Sixteen students total from McConnell’s drawing and Hunker’s painting classes brought forth pieces for the exhibit which is showing 31 individual pieces of work as well as two collaborative pieces. Each student gave McConnell and Hunker three to four pieces to choose from when making the exhibit. With the exhibit complete, McConnell says that there are about one to three works from each St. Peter’s art student. Not only does that mean a lot of work for both McConnell and Hunker but also for the students who have to choose from a wide portfolio of work.

While McConnell says that students have to be comfortable with the pieces they submit, this is also a chance to go outside their comfort zone to have more adventurous pieces on display. Getting feedback, this time from members of the community, is an important part of the process, says McConnell “That’s how art functions. It’s not meant to really stay at home or stay in the studio. It’s meant to function in public where people get the chance to take a really good look at it and make comments and judgements based on what they see.” McConnell’s class introduces his students to many different kinds of wet and dry materials throughout the year, from Tempera paint and Chinese or Japanese inks for wet, or aqueous, mediums to charcoal and graphite for dry mediums. Many other mediums meant a variety of work for the exhibit

from beeswax and collage creations to the traditional forms of paint and charcoal drawings. His student’s work runs the gamut, says McConnell, with a wide range of realistic to abstract works. “I want my students to really be able to run that range of what we call more representational art, otherwise known as realistic, which may be more rigorous or traditional instruction in art and composition, and then on the other hand to be able to do things that are more inventive and abstract.” McConnell is thankful to have the Gallery providing this opportunity for the students with such a supportive staff and community behind it. Every year just keeps getting better and better, he says, with a great mix of programming. Students will be using the space in a few weeks to take McConnell’s class while being surrounded by their work.

Viscount news By Sandra Reid Correspondent On March 17, there were 14 people out for the Viscount Seniors Fundraising breakfast. Workers were Louise Barlage and Chris Rault. The Lucky Loonie winner was John Dale. Monday morning was coffee as usual at the Viscount Seniors then in the afternoon games of pool, crib, etc. were enjoyed. As well as good conversation. A great way to pass the afternoon. Eleven ladies met at the Viscount library to work on Blankets for Canada. They enjoyed so many laughs together while they worked. There is always time for tea and goodies, of course. They have received several donations of squares this past week, it is so appreciated; as well as everyone who lends a hand in this worthy cause. Last week they donated 30 blankets to shelters in the city. On March 11, the Viscount Archery Club held its Annual Junior Olympic Program Archery competition. This year was again a success with 64 archers competing from Viscount, Saskatoon and Vanscoy. Of the 14 archers from Viscount that competed 10 received medals for their efforts. All the volunteer help with the registration table, out in the range

and in the kitchen was so greatly appreciated. As well as all the spectators that attended to watch the competition. They hope to see everyone again next year. VCS Spring Supper On March 11, Viscount Central School held their annual Spring Supper. This community event is a fundraiser for our graduating class. Attendees were treated to a delicious roast beef dinner. Over 100 people attended the supper. A silent auction was held at the supper. Many wonderful items were donated. It was greatly appreciated to all who sponsored the auction. The support the graduates receive from the communities of Viscount, Young, Meacham and Plunkett is greatly appreciated. Without them our grad would not be the wonderful day that we have come to expect. Our class is small this year but their enthusiasm is mighty. Thank you to all who came out to support the VCS Graduating Class of 2018. Best wishes to anyone that is under the weather, hope you feel better soon. Thank you to all that helped share the Viscount news this week. Have a great week!

Spring spotlight on Ohtani, Angels

By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

Baseball and its spring training season usually loses the month of March to the playoff chases in the NHL and NBA and March Madness, but it’s winning this year thanks to the groundbreaking attempt by Shohei Ohtani to become Babe Ruth — 100 years later. There has not been a pitcher-slugger to perform in the Major Leagues since Ruth did it for a couple of seasons (1918-19) before some wise judge of talent decided Ruth would be better off as a full-time slugger. Turned out to be a good decision. So here we are, about 100 years later, and Ohtani is a Japanese phenom who rewarded the Los Angeles An-

gels with his signature on a contract, and this spring has been a full-blown Ohtani circus in suburban Phoenix. No one yet knows whether Ohtani can succeed as a potential 20-game winner/30-homer guy, but the Angels will give him at least one season to try. One of the demands the Ohtani management team made of MLB suitors was that he be given a chance to do both. So, for the time being, Ohtani will be one of five in the Angels starting rotation and will serve as designated hitter in perhaps three of the four games between his pitching starts. The baseball world watches and awaits the results. The jury was still out after the two weeks of spring training. Ohtani was batting .091 (1-for-11) and his pitching stats were equally lame (1-1, 6.75 ERA) but the sample sizes were too small to matter. (By comparison, his superstar teammates, Albert Pujols and Mike Trout, were batting .167 and .071 at the same juncture.) At age 23, Ohtani has the goods, scouts say, to succeed both on the mound and at the plate. A variety of variables exist, though. Japanese baseball is not quite as good as the MLB. Ohtani will not only have to contend with the best major league pitching has to offer, but also unprecedented media attention. An army of Japanese journalists and broadcast teams will be following his every move and if he thinks Hollywood is Sleepytown, U.S.A., he’s in for a rude awakening. Just wait until April

27-29, when Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and the Yankees arrive in Anaheim for a three-game set. Now that will be must-see TV. For Major League Baseball, though, the Ohtani phenomenon is a grand slam. The sport has never received this much spring training attention, a spotlight that will carry on through most of the summer as baseball fans watch closely to see if the second coming of Babe Ruth emerges from the Ohtani uniform. • Steve Simmons of Postmedia: “You’re Jason Botterill. You dream your whole life about getting a GM job in the NHL. You get one. And then you wake up and realize you’ve got the Buffalo Sabres.” • RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Winnipeg Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers told TSN, ‘It always feels good scoring.’ ‘We’ll take your word for it,’ said the Buffalo Sabres.” • Comic Torben Rolfsen, on the PGA’s U.S. Open switching from an 18-hole playoff to a two-hole playoff: “If they’re still tied after that, they’ll settle it with a long-drive competition.” • Reader Peter Zeller of Delmar, N.Y., with a question to columnist Norman Chad of the Washington Post: “Is it true that the president will invite people from Norway to move to America to improve our Olympic medal count?” • Brad Rock of the Desert News: “NFL commissioner Roger Goodell allegedly ran a 5.41 in the 40 to raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research

Hospital. Sources insist it had nothing to do with Goodell hustling to avoid Jerry Jones in the hall.” • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Texas Wesleyan baseball coach Mike Jeffcoat nixed a recruit from Colorado because that state’s ‘liberal politicians’ legalized marijuana use, so the school fired him. Or as eye-for-an-eye advocates prefer to frame it, he weeded himself out.” • Comedy writer Jerry Perisho, on this year’s Oscars telecast: “Michael Strahan is to red-carpet interviews what Ryan Seacrest is to rushing the quarterback.” • Dwight Perry again: “Nearly every passenger vomited on a turbulent flight from Charlottesville, Va., to Washington, D.C.

Smith for throwing a bowl of soup at a coach: “They told him it was MMMMMM-bad.” • RJ Currie finishes with a zinger: “The Canadian men’s and women’s curling teams failed to win an Olympic medal.

Good for America but what about the rest of us

Calvin Daniels It feels like I have written this before. That I suppose is because in terms of agriculture there are often ongoing storylines to

follow, and the latest among those is Donald Trump. It was in Yorkton in March of last year that John Gormley, long-time radio talk show host, and former Member of Parliament, spoke about the then still newly minted president. “The man takes unorthodox to levels most of us can’t understand… He turns every single assumption on its head. From beginning to end it will be

a presidency without precedent. There is no playbook for him, no template for this,” he said. J o h n D e P u t t e r, founder and President of DePutter Publishing Ltd., speaking at a Farm Credit Canada Ag Knowledge Exchange event held in Yorkton last February also suggested Trump could cause marketing waves. In crystal balling the commodity prices at the time DePutter said there were unknown influences, one being American president Donald Trump. “We’re talking about a loose cannon, a wild card,” he said. DePutter said he has always termed unexpected shocks in terms of price ‘black swans’ adding Trump qualifies as one of those.

While noting he is generally on side with Republican ideals, DePutter said he is not sure Trump was a good choice as leader. He pointed to a general trend away from the concept of free trade. “There’s an anti-globalization trend going on too, which is sad. Agriculture needs exports,” he said. “The US and Canada both benefit from an open grain trade.” Jump to March 2018, and we see the concerns broached by Gormley and DePutter are most certainly taking place. A revised TransPacific Partnership, renamed Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for TransPacific Partnership, has been hammered out and agreed to by Canada and its partners

with one exception, the United States. The new CPTPP doesn’t fit with the vision of protectionist president Trump. The North American Free Trade Deal is being renegotiated because of Trump, although whether the United States is sincere in wanting a new deal is rather unclear. It seems increasingly that Trump will make sure the deal is never achieved opening the door to the US making unilateral trade decisions that the president believes will only favour his country. The idea of fairness is far from Trump’s way of thinking. Evidence of his increasingly protectionist thinking Trump signed an order March 8 to impose tariffs of 25 percent on imported

steel and 10 percent on imported aluminum. Trump did exempt Canada and Mexico from the tariffs, although the U.S. government has dropped hints the exception is only temporary, linking Canada’s fate on tariffs to the outcome of the NAFTA negotiations. In other words the exemption to the huge tariffs is being presented as the carrot to get Canada and Mexico to sign the new NAFTA deal without making waves, making Trump and his party look better ahead of 2018 congressional elections. The Trump factor is certainly a chill wind in terms of trade, and is likely to gather force as the president tries to mold the US in his image of what is good for America.

Do not count out the voices of youth By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

It is tough being a young person right now, and I do not envy anyone trying to grow up in this day and age. Not only are they dealing with social media dangers and pressures and higher rates of suicide and bullying, they are also dealing with people disregarding their voice on these issues. On March 15 in the United States, students marched out of their schools to protest gun violence in the wake of the 17 students and teachers killed in Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL. The people of North America have seen school shootings many times before, with an estimated 7,000 children killed by gun violence since the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, according to the advocacy group Avaaz. Avaaz placed 7,000 pairs of shoes on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC on March 13 to represent the 1,300 children a year who die in the US because of gun violence. The students who took to the streets of US cities and towns, some of them even after being threat-

ened with disciplinary action, have said enough is enough. My reason for writing about this is twofold. One, I want young people to know that I admire them and the amazing things they are doing. They are speaking up and trying to make their country and the world better. Some of these students from Parkland and their families have even received death threats for doing so. Comments under news stories about the Parkland students discounted and dismissed what the students went through just because of their age. Gun violence is something that is impacting many students in the United States and they have just as much reason to protest as any person in the country over the age of 18. To anyone who thinks otherwise, I ask this: what is the acceptable age for a young person to be heard? At what age do their opinions start to matter? My second reason for writing about this in Humboldt, SK, far removed from Washington, DC or Parkland, FL, is that our young people in the area are watching. They are seeing comments about the

invalidity of student protests, and they may even start to believe them. Our students may be removed by distance from the protests of their US peers, but young people still have amazing power and we should not be discounting that. I had the pleasure of attending the fourth annual Pink Day celebration at LeRoy School on March 15 where hundreds of students gathered to talk about bullying. Teachers at the school proudly say it was the students who were the primary organizers of Pink Day. At any point in time, an adult or a teacher could have told these students that the were not equipped with the skills or vision to put on this amazing event, and it may not have happened. As adults, I do not understand how we could say this to any young person with a vision. Do people not remember being young people themselves? Do we not remember what is was like to be overpowered by the opinions of adults? Why do we ever think this is acceptable? To every young person: you matter. Your dreams, goals, fears and voice matter. And do not let anyone tell you otherwise.

Raptors feel destined to finally reach finals markets. After years of futility, the Raptors’ improvement on the court has resulted in a sold out building every night. That sold out building has resulted in opposing teams commenting that Toronto is quickly becoming one of the toughest buildings to play in in the NBA. Not bad considering the Raptors have been excellent at home this season, and figure to easily win the East, therefore having home court advantage all the way until the finals. The Raptors currently lead the Eastern Conference by five games, with everyone’s favourite pick, the Cleveland Cavaliers sitting 11 games back of the Raptors for third. This team features mainstays Jonas Valanciunas, Kyle Lowry, Demar DeRozan, and head coach Dwayne Casey. And sure those four have been amongst the NBA’s top teams over

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

If you are a fan of basketball you might be looking at watching a long playoff season. While most years it seems the Toronto Raptors are among the National Basketball Association’s best, this year they truly are amongst the elite of the NBA. The Raptors are currently the best team in the Eastern Conference, and as every day goes by they pull further and further away from those around them. In their last 20 games the Raptors sport a record of 18-2, with their two losses coming by a combined ten points. They also currently hold the NBA’s best mark for home record. A fact that could prove costly for the rest of the NBA. The emergence of the Raptors has also meant the emergence of Toronto as one of the NBA’s best basketball

the past five years, but they also fell short in the playoffs. This time it feels different. The Raptors have surrounded their mainstays with a number of important pieces, including C.J. Miles, Serge Ibaka, Fred Van Vleet, Pascal Siakam, and Jacob Poeltl. Of course, they also have trusty returning bench players who have also improved this team including Delon Wright and Norman Powell. Not only do the Raptors contain one of the best backcourts in the NBA in DeRozan and Lowry, both all stars, but their bench is also arguably the NBA’s best. It is actually the bench that has been the most important part of the Raptors team this season.

The Raptors possess a starting lineup that could compete with the NBA’s best, but it is their bench that pushes them ahead of most teams. When the bench hits the floor you can be sure that they will nearly always outscore the opposition. Obviously an important stat in any sport, but when your starting five can keep up with the best and the bench can come on and outscore the other teams’ bench, good things will happen. This Raptors team has shown all season long that their bench is arguably the best and their players have improved. This is a scary team. Now all they need to do is prove it in the playoffs.

Straker on that dirt road to Marysburg By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

The stars have finally aligned for Jeffery Straker and the Marysburg Assumption Church and Centre Of The Arts with Straker coming to perform a live acoustic show on April 8. It been a year and a half since the Punnichy raised singer/songwriter was last performing in the Humboldt area and five since hearing about the impressiveness of the Assumption Church. “It’s funny about how word travels around Saskatchewan about places to play and quite a few places I went people said to check out Marysburg,� says Straker. With his sister singing harmony and a double bassist, Straker says his acoustic folk-roots-pop sound will definitely fit the space. Straker has been a busy artist since the release of his latest album, Dirt Road Confessional, about a year and a half ago. Straker’s seventh full album debuted at number five on the iTunes Canadian singer/songwriter chart, which is great because that meant that people were actually buying it, he laughs. More importantly, the album’s success meant a lot of bookings with the stop in Marysburg being a part of a larger cross Canada show that is keeping Straker hopping. Between May 2017 and May 2018, Straker will be doing around 100 shows including his first European tour which already has him booked to return for even more performances in 2019. He has also been a regular cast

he had a little more time to relax, but his phrase for working in the arts at times like these are, “when it rains, you gotta run around with a bucket.� Even with the success of Dirt Road Confessionals, Straker learned early that people wanted to hear some of his other tunes as well, including Wonderful Mrs. Bell and I Wanna Go Back There. “I constantly get surprised by listeners that they know and want to hear certain songs...people would either message me or corner me after a show. People really like certain

songs.� Straker says he is finding the best set to be ones that include Dirt Road Confessional tunes mixed with some Straker classics. No matter what people come to listen to, Straker says he hopes people come to escape with him into an afternoon of music and stories. “The reason I do what I do is I am a lyric nerd. I love sharing songs with people that make people think but also get their toes tapping.� If he can do that, he has succeeded, he says. 18034AA2 18034AA3

LeRoy welcomes Stars on Ice Road Show By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

It is not very often a small town can host the best of the best. For the community of LeRoy that rarity became a reality on March 14 when they played host to the Stars on Ice Road Show. The road show featured some of the best figures skaters Saskatchewan has to offer, including a number of provincial champions, as well as some performances by local and regional skaters. Being able to bring the road show to the community was great, noted LeRoy Skating Club president Jamie Oesch, because it allows the kids in the club a chance to look up to someone a little further along in their skating career. In addition to skating, the road show also took time to do a presentation at the school, which was also an important part of the experience, noted Oesch, who said the presentation seemed to make an impact on the kids, with some being “very impressed.” “Hopefully it will help our club grow. Our club has grown quite a bit in the last couple of years.” Being able to bring the skaters into the school served as an eye opener for the students who do not necessarily hear it from their friends. “(CanSkate) is a learn to skate program. If they knew what it was about then these skaters that showed them today would hopefully have helped. It was a big thing for them to see the skaters and promote skating in our area.” Of course, the road show also featured skaters from the LeRoy Skating Club, and served as not only a demonstration of Saskatchewan’s best, but also served as the skating club’s year end carnival. Being able to host the carnival is a great opportunity for parents to see what the skaters have been working on all year, notes Oesch. “The parents don’t very often get to come and see the progression of their kids. It also gives an opportunity for the community to see what is being held in our arena and what our young people in town are doing. So it’s very good for the kids to have a wind up and say they had a good year.” While families came out to see the skaters show off the skills they learned throughout the year, so too did the community, nearly filling the LeRoy Memorial Arena stands, says Oesch. “It’s great to have their support, it helps keep our programs running in town. We’re thankful and it’s very honouring to see a crowd like this.” While the community came out in spades, it was not just the community of LeRoy who did so with many people traveling from other communities, says Oesch. “This whole surrounding area is tight knit. One supports another. Not only did LeRoy themselves build the rink but they also had the support of other communities and they continue to support our community and it’s great.” While skating was the main attraction, there were also some door prizes available as well, with one coming from the local businesses in town and the others coming from the skating families. “(The businesses) were very generous with their donations and we thank them very much for that… the parents just came up with the idea that we should

The pair of Jacob Waskowic and Veronica Kryachko wowed the LeRoy audience during their visit to LeRoy as part of the 2018 Saskatchewan Stars on Ice Road Show on March 14. The road show was weaved in with the LeRoy Skating Club’s annual carnival. photo by Christopher Lee spend $10 because we keep our fees fairly reasonable within the club and they came up with the idea to spend $10 and make a few baskets so we did well.” Seeing the parents step up with the support of some door prizes is not overly surprising, says Oesch, who notes they are quite willing.

“They’re very open to helping out and stepping up and they helped out quite a bit with it.” Oesch would like to thank everyone for coming out and supporting their club and the skaters. “I hope they all had a really good time with it. It was a really good show.”

Watson hosts their own Disney on Ice By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

After a long season the Watson Skating Club put the finishing touches on their season, with their Disney on Ice show on March 4. While snow was wreaking havoc on the roads outside, skaters were showing off what they learned throughout the year. This year’s show, Disney on Ice, featured classic Disney songs from throughout the years including recent ones like Moana’s How Far I Go or Frozen’s In Summer and older ones like Bare Necessities from the Jungle Book, Under the Sea from the Little

Mermaid, with the finale being Toy Story’s You’ve Got a Friend in Me. Maria Strasser, board member with the Watson Skating Club, noted the theme fit perfectly with their carnival, noting it is a fun theme. “There’s so many songs that Disney has that we’re able to go with so it just keeps the kids interested and engaged.” The show featured group performances from each of the 21 CanSkaters in the program, as well as three solo performances, with two being from their program assistants, and the third being from their coach. Being able to bring all the skaters

together for a showcase like this one is important, noted Strasser because it allows the skaters to show off the skills they have learned throughout the season. “It’s just a fantastic opportunity for the community to come out and see that our skating club is still vibrant and that these kids work really hard to increase their skating skills all year.” Despite weather being a major concern, and the club being a mixture of Watson and Quill Lake skaters, Strasser noted there was still a great crowd for the carnival. “There was some people who had

to travel a little ways to come. Lot of grandparents, aunts and uncles and just people from the community who don’t really have a connection to the skating club, they come out every year and watch.” While seeing members of the community come out to support the carnival is great to see, Strasser notes it is not a surprise. “The community comes out and shows support for this kind of thing all the time so it means a lot to us for them to continue to do that.” The Watson Skating Club features 21 CanSkaters, four program assistants, and one coach.

Plunkett news By Deloris Sutherland Correspondent We sure got a dump of snow a couple of weeks ago. March came in like a lion but we will welcome any moisture it brings. Just think how nice and green our lawns will be this spring. Our weatherman is bringing us some milder weather now. I think everyone is looking forward to spring. The school students had a break for a week. Dennis and Leona Credgeur had their three grandchildren visiting during the school break. Fred and Cheryl Schaan had their grandchildren from Paradise Hill visit them during the school break. Folks can visit Maisie Sutherland in Watrous nursing home as she moved there from Lanigan Lodge and is with Hector now. Rodney and Lorie Sutherland were away to the Cayman Islands for a couple of weeks on a winter holiday. The Plunkett and Viscount ladies are kept busy every week making blankets for Blankets for Canada. Congratulations to Helen (Hastie) and Don Crowther of Saskatoon on becoming grandparents.

Born to Mary and Garret Glasrud of Shaunavon on Feb. 20, a daughter, Nellie Grace Smith Glasrud. Don and Helen Crowther visited the proud parents and their new granddaughter. Several folks enjoyed the fish fry at the Plunkett Hotel on Feb. 25. Trevor and Linda were out from Saskatoon and we took them there too. Marge Haynes of Lanigan accompanied us there as well. Evelyn Shoemaker visited at the home of Carl and Carolyn Carduner in Saskatoon and she also had a visit with Bob and Heather Shoemaker. Judy Shoemaker visited Armella Paproski and Sadie Gullacher in Watrous. Folks really enjoyed watching the Olympic Games in Korea. Canada brought home 29 medals. Plunkett folks send their deepest sympathy to the family of Myrtle Clavelle on her recent passing. The Plunkett Friendship Club put off cards and the potluck supper on March 6 as everyone’s driveway was full of snow. Curling fans watched the brier on television. It was great curling to watch. Plunkett folks send their deepest sympathy to the family of Norma (George) Nugent of Lanigan.

Visiting Stanley and Irene Giddings was their daughter Lorie Giddings of Saskatoon. She was touring people from China. China is building a flax processing plant in Delisle, so they are considering moving out to the Saskatoon area as their husbands will be managing the plant. The four women and two boys, aged five and six, wanted to tour a farm. They all got to pet the baby calves and they all got to ride the toboggan behind the quad. They were so excited about the wide open space we have here. They took lots of lots of pictures. They traveled to Yellowknife to see the Northern Lights and spent a couple of days in Vancouver. After a roast beef on a bun luncheon they headed to Delisle to see where the processing plant is being built. Instructor - Isn’t it remarkable how quickly the kids learn to drive a car? Parent - Yes, especially considering how slowly they catch on to running the lawn mower and vacuum cleaner. Get well wishes go out to anyone ill and in the hospital. We wish them a speedy recovery. Anyone having any news, please phone me at 1-306-944-4852.

Three-step process to acquire pot shop permit By Devan C. Tasa For the Humboldt Journal

Want to partake in selling legal marijuana? There’s a three-step process to get the required permit. The process was unveiled March 14. Humboldt has been approved for one cannabis retail store each, but city council hasn’t decided if they’ll allow one within city boundaries. The first step is to send a

proposal that demonstrates the applicant’s financial ability to own and operate a cannabis store; describes an electronic system used to track inventory, record sales to customers and generates reports like the ones needed for taxes; and declares the people behind the proposal. The applicant will also have to send $6,000, with $5,000 of it refundable if the proposal isn’t successful.

After that, the second step is a lottery that selects one of the proposals that meets the provincial government’s requirements at random. The winner of the lottery can then go to the third step: apply to the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority for a cannabis retail store permit within 45 days after learning they’ve won. The applicant must have a store open within 12 months of the

province’s cannabis control legislation coming into effect. While federal and provincial regulations have yet to be completed in full, to get a permit, the winner must be of good character, confirmed by a criminal record and credit check. The store must be a standalone business, selling nothing but cannabis products and accessories. It must be

open a minimum of six hours per day, five days a week. It must not be accessible to minors. Delivery service is allowed, but drive-ins are not. A security system is required. The province also announced cannabis cannot be consumed in public, the minimum age for non-medical cannabis is 19 years of age, and any possession of cannabis by a minor is prohibited.

Snow makes for fun times at February poker rallies By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Cudworth This year was a good year for the Cudworth Lions Club and their poker rally on Feb. 3, says Amber Ponak. The snow four or five days before the event helped out, she says with 65 riders going out on a 40 km trail heading west from town. Many sponsors stepped up for door and raffle prizes and 20 volunteers helping out throughout the day, says Ponak. Funds raised go towards different organizations every year with former events going out to families in need and local sports teams. Birch Hills Decent snow conditions on the 50 mile trail made for a successful 23rd annual Birch Hills Sno-Posse Poker Rally on Feb. 10. Even with cooler temperatures, the event brought out 114 registered riders with even more riding the trail. St. Louis Karate Club put on the breakfast, lunch, and supper which really helped them out, says club member Mark Evans. Lots of sponsors came out to support the event with businesses from the Prince Albert and Melfort, and some from as far as Saskatoon, stepping up to support the event. Quill Lake Around 85-90 riders took in the Quill Lake Trail Twisters poker rally on Feb.24. Club president Curtis Kangas says they were happy with the turn out and the great weather. The trails were in fair condition for the riders, with Kangas saying they could have used some more snow. However, it is better than in previous years since lack of snow has meant this being their first rally in three years. “We’ve seemed to have missed the snow that other clubs have got the last couple of years, though this year we were quite happy to get some snow to put some snow in.” Money raised from the rally will go towards trail maintenance and maintaining equipment at the club. Around 15-20 volunteers and 40 sponsors from the community who also helped makes the rally a success. Middle Lake Around 100 riders were out for the Middle Lake Lions Club poker rally on March 10. This is the biggest fundraiser the Lions put on,

photo by Becky Zimmer says Lions Club chair, Ken Herman, with most of the money raised going to continuing funding the Middle Lake Multiplex. Even with a lack of snow, the 35-40 mile trail was up to the task, says Herman with the first place rider getting a guaranteed prize of $2,500. Businesses from Humboldt, Cudworth, and other neighbouring towns helped donate draw

items as well as local women donating homemade food like soup and pies, and around 30 volunteers donating of their time to make the event a success, says Herman. “It takes a whole community to put it on and you have to appreciate everybody,” says Herman. Altogether, Herman says they raised around $11,000 for the multiplex.

Local schools send six to provincials By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

Basketball is coming down to the wire and teams are in the midst of competing for championships. The junior basketball teams have been hard at it competing in a district championship tournament, while the senior teams spent the weekend competing at regionals. Junior Girls Districts The junior girls district championship is down to two after five playoff match ups and for the first time in three years there will be a new champion. St. Brieux and Foam Lake will compete in the final, marking the first time since 2015 that Middle Lake has not won the title. St. Brieux’s trip to the final was relatively easy as they received a first round bye. In their semi-final contest, the Crusaders were matched up with the twotime defending champion Avengers. The Avengers made their way to the semi-finals by knocking off Annaheim 61-23. The Avengers were in tough heading into the clash as the Crusaders held all of the momentum thanks to St. Brieux holding a 3-0 lead in the season headto-head matchups, with the Crusaders outscoring the Avengers 191-113. Their semi-final matchup followed a similar script to their three league contests as the Crusaders routed the Avengers 71-42 to move into the district final. Meeting St. Brieux in the final will be Foam Lake, who needed a more difficult path to get to the final. Foam Lake kicked off their district tournament by beating Wynyard Elementary 63-16. While their quarterfinal contest was easy, their semi-final showdown with

Middle Lake Avenger Jenna Brockman fights through the paint to get a shot up during regional basketball action in Middle Lake on March 17. It was an excellent weekend for Brockman and her Avengers teammates as they romped their way to a regional title and a berth at provincials. photo by Christopher Lee Humboldt Collegiate was far less easy. HCI pushed Foam Lake hard but were unable to pull off the win as Foam Lake came away with a 50-40 win. Junior Boys Districts While the girls tournament started in the quarterfinal round, the boys event featured a couple extra teams, and began with teams competing in contests just to get to the semi-finals. A quintet of round of 16 matchups

saw five teams looking to book their spot in the semi-finals. Strasbourg, Middle Lake, Wynyard Composite, Bellevue, and Annaheim each booked their spots in the quarters. Wynyard Comp. had the easiest time moving through of the five qualifiers as they routed Watson 78-12. The most difficult of the encounters came when Strasbourg took on St. Augustine. The young squad from Humboldt hung around against Strasbourg, but eventually ran out of steam as Strasbourg picked up a 52-40 win. The most intriguing battle came between the grid 777 rivals as Middle Lake took on Lake Lenore. While that rivalry generally produces exciting close battles, this one was far from it as Middle Lake rolled to a 58-30 win. The final two matchups saw Bellevue knock off St. Dominic 48-31, and Annaheim edge past Wynyard Elementary 56-32. While each of the five aforementioned teams earned spots in the quarters, only one managed to move on to the semi’s as each of the other four all lost.

The lone round of 16 winner to move on to the semi-finals was Wynyard Composite, who picked up a nail biting 46-43 win over another round of 16 winner, in Middle Lake. While those two teams were engaging in a tightly contested affair, the other three games all ended in routes. The contest between Watrous and Strasbourg ended as the most lopsided as Watrous blew by Strasbourg 59-16. Annaheim tried to keep things close against Foam Lake, and while they were unable to do so, they managed to keep it closers than the other two teams who lost in routes as Foam Lake knocked off Annaheim 65-40. Rounding out the quarterfinal contests, St. Brieux blasted Bellevue 63-35. St. Brieux continued the momentum built up from their quarterfinal, as they snuck past Foam Lake 62-53. Joining St. Brieux in the final will be Watrous who routed Wynyard Composite 71-38. Senior Boys Regionals While teams were battling for district supremacy in junior basketball, the seniors were back at it in senior regional action. Continued on page 11

Women need to take time for self-care too

By Dr. Megan Parker, ND Health Columnist

International Women’s Day is celebrated on March 8 around the world. This day has also been declared United Nations (UN) Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace. I had the pleasure of celebrating at an event in Humboldt hosted by Humboldt Regional Newcomer Centre.

International Women’s Day is a day to celebrate women. A day to recognize ideas and issues collectively shared by women throughout the world. As women we wear many hats in society and in our families. We play many different roles. As women we are daughters, mothers, sisters, wives, grandmothers, girlfriends, cousins, aunts, friends. Women also tend to play a primary role in many different areas in typical family settings. Most women are chefs, chauffeurs, maids, buyers, organizers, among other roles at home. They balance that with full time careers and motherhood in many cases. Many women take on a primary caregiver role in many different relationships. Not only are they there for their children and spouse, but also parents, grandchildren and friends. Women traditionally are known to put everyone’s needs and desires on their plate. Unfortunately, often this requires them to put their own needs and desires on the back burner. They are busy taking care of everyone around them and often forget to take care of themselves.

As women, we need to always remember the importance of self-care. Self-care is a basic essential to optimal health. I’d stress the importance as self-care as important as adequate food, water and shelter. It’s our way of caring for ourselves. Self-care is as simple as taking time for yourself. Take a break from juggling all the other balls you’re trying to keep afloat during your day and take a look at what you need for yourself. It’s common to hear self-care referred to as “selfish,” “lazy” or “a waste of time.” I disagree one hundred percent. Investing a little into yourself ensures that you can offer the best version of you to those around you. If you are constantly giving of yourself to others you are slowly draining your reserves. You can’t pour from an empty cup so it is essential that you continue to invest time, energy and focus on yourself. Without adequate self-care, our health can be affected. You may start feeling run down, tired, struggle with insomnia or not feel rested in the morning. We also start seeing concerns pop up like high blood

pressure, high cholesterol, digestive upset, poor immune system response, hormone imbalances, skin concerns or mental health struggles like anxiety or depression. Self-care doesn’t have to be complex or time consuming. Start small. Take ten minutes every day to invest back in yourself. Take a step back from other commitments and make yourself a priority for ten minutes. Use that time to do something that you love or something that makes you happy. Take a bath. Read a book. Enjoy a cup of tea. Go for a walk. Listen to music. Do some art. Pull out an old hobby. Do some yoga. Meditate. Just because we set aside a specific day in March to celebrate women doesn’t mean we have to forget about ourselves on the other 364 days of the year. Celebrate yourself, your life and your health. Make yourself a priority today, and everyday. This article is intended for educational and information purposes only. It is not intended to provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Local schools send six to provincials Continued from page 10 1A A pair of schools will be making their way to provincials as both Lake Lenore and Middle Lake won their regions. Middle Lake made regionals look easy as they look to defend their provincial title. The Avengers kicked off their regional tournament with a dominant 106-43 win over Nakoda Oyade. Knowing a win moves the Avengers on to provincials, the boys came out focused and built up an early lead and never looked back en route to a 100-54 win over Kerrobert. Joining Middle Lake at provincials will be Lake Lenore, who picked up a regional title of their own. The Lancers kicked off their tournament by beating Kinistino 90-41. With the win the Lancers moved into the regional final where they took on Asquith. The contest, while closer than their regional semifinal, saw Lake Lenore once again roll to an easy win as they knocked off Asquith 61-33. With the wins both Lake Lenore and Middle Lake will move on to provincials, where they will look to earn a spot in the finals against one another. Middle Lake will take on Davidson in one semifinal, while Lake Lenore will be matched up with Rocanville. Kinistino, who also competed in 1A Boys regionals, will not be moving on to provincials, as their loss to Lake Lenore eliminated them from contention. Kinistino’s final contest of the tournament did not go so well either as they dropped the regional consolation final 76-46 against Coronach. 2A A pair of locals competed in the 2A regional tournaments with just one, St. Brieux, moving on. St. Brieux made the regional tournament look easy as they picked up an 89-41 win over Stobart and then followed that up with a regional title thanks to a 96-63 win over Beauval. Thanks to the regional title, the Crusaders will move on to provincials where they will take on Osler VCA in the provincial semi-finals. The other local school, Wynyard failed to qualify for provincials after losing 81-51 to Saskatoon Christian. Despite the loss, the Golden Bears had one more regional contest as they took on Maidstone in the

consolation final. That contest did not go any better for the Bears as they suffered a 69-41 loss, officially bringing their season to a close. 3A The 3A tournament featured just a single local team, as Birch Hills was the lone entrant. The Marauders made easy work of their regional opposition as they knocked off Tisdale 112-56 in the regional semi-finals, and Saskatoon Legacy Christian 98-55 in the regional final. With the win the Marauders will move on to provincials where they will take on Norquay in the provincial semi-finals. Senior Girls Regionals 1A Four local schools competed a 1A girls regionals, with two booking their spots at provincials. Middle Lake was one of two schools to qualify for provincials after running roughshod over their regional combatants. The Avengers kicked off their tournament in empathic fashion as they routed Nakoda Oyade 77-36. With the win the Avengers moved into the final where they took on Southey. After piling up 77 points, and winning by 41, the Avengers one-upped themselves, scoring another 77 but allowing only 26 in a 77-26 win. The win moves the Avengers on to provincials. Joining the Avengers at provincials is St. Brieux, who captured their own regional tournament. The Crusaders also cruised through the tournament as they gave up just 74 points in a pair of wins. The Crusaders kicked off regionals with an 89-27 win over LCBI, and then followed that up with a 67-47 victory over Langham.

With the wins both Middle Lake and St. Brieux move on to provincials. St. Brieux will take on Kenaston in one semifinal, while Middle Lake will take on Gladmar in the other. Gladmar moved on to provincials after taking down a pair of local schools. Their first victim was Lake Lenore, whom they beat 68-45. With the loss Lake Lenore’s season came to a close as they did not play their consolation game. In the regional final Gladmar knocked off Birch Hills 59-54 which brings Birch Hills season also to a close. The Marauders made their way to the regional final after knocking off Hafford 78-51. 2A A pair of schools competed for a berth at regionals, as both Kinistino and Wynyard were in action. Unfortunately for Kinistino their regional run was short lived as they bowed out in round one, losing 67-46 to Wynyard. With the loss Kinistino was relegated to the consolation final, where they fell 50-46 to Lashburn. Wynyard meanwhile, followed up their win over Kinistino with an 80-63 win over Saskatoon Christian. With the win the Golden Bears will move into the provincial semi-final where they will take on Canora.

Horizon School Division highlights year with annual report By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Director of Education for Horizon School Division, Kevin Garinger, is proud of the work that continues to go on in Horizon School Division. Garinger reported a small snapshot of the work being done in Horizon with his Annual Report at the Meeting of Electors on March 14 at the Horizon office. Literacy and graduations rates were the main focus of Garinger’s report, as well as the financial state of Horizon School Division. Literacy rates among grade 3 students within Horizon show that 75 per cent of students overall are reading at or above grade level. This is down slightly from 77 per cent reported in the previous year. The current literacy average is five

per cent short of the provincial goal for reading levels in 2020. The drop does not reflect the hard work going into education and Garinger says that they are continuing to see improvements in student data because of a strong effort from staff and teachers. Garinger reported that Horizon continues to have the fourth highest teacher to student ratio compared to other school divisions. On time graduation rates, meaning students who graduate within three years of starting grade 10 have remained at 84 per cent of total students from 2015-2016 to 2016-2017. This is a drop from the 2008-2009 percentage of 88 per cent of total students. Graduation rates among First Nation, Metis, and Inuit/Inuk (FNMI)

students are on a decline with 32 per cent of FNMI students completing grade 12 on time. Those are lagging indicators, says Garinger, since the work put into education will show in future numbers. “You don’t just change things and everything improves. It takes time to make those improvements and sometimes we have what is referred to an implementation dip, where things drop before they get better.” While three year graduation rates have dipped, five year graduation rates have improved by 12 per cent over the 2008-2009 numbers, says Garinger. Albeit students may be taking a bit longer, they are still graduating, he says, which is still important to recognize.

“As opposed to being 11 per cent below the provincial average, we’re five per cent and we’re on a trajectory that is very positive.” Financially, Horizon did see an improvement on their budgeted to actual finances for 2017 with a $1.36 million variance in the actual deficit. This past year was planned to be a deficit year of $2.56 million with the actual budget coming in at a $1.20 million deficit. The main reason for the variance is the increase in revenue of $816,178 overall for the 2017 revenue and a $544,608 underage on the 2017 expenses. More specifically, reports Garinger, Horizon saw an increase of $722,853 in property tax revenue over what was originally budgeted for which had an impact.

Dance Kraze hits Wadena By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Wadena School of Dance brought 16 local dance clubs and 328 dances into Wadena for their Dance Kraze weekend on March 10-11. Pictured (L to R): Wadena School of Dance Ballet, four and under: Sadie Schultz, Alyiah German, Claire Kiland, Aliza Turnbull, and Brynn Sweatman photo courtesy of Teneil Fogg

Wadena was filled to the brim with dancers from across the province as the Wadena School of Dance hosted their 11th annual Dance Kraze on March 10-11. Around 550 dancers from 16 Saskatchewan dance schools competed in many dance disciplines with 328 performances hitting the Wadena stage, says Dance Kraze chair, Teneil Fogg. Also part of the committee team was Carla Ziola and Deedra Schafer, as well as advisor and school president Angela Fielding. This was the first year that results were posted live using Facebook to share the performance results, says Fogg. Dance companies also had the opportunity to take advantage of the professional photographer taking group photos of all the companies, not only Wadena, says Fogg. This was the first time that Wadena brought in the service for groups, all of which was dressed and ready to go. Competition also meant prize money and scholarships available with $1900 worth of scholarship money given out and two Dance Ink scholarship and a 50% off prize available for the Wade Dance Camp in Assissippi.

A fur fashion show was on the agenda for the Saskatchewan Trappers Association’s 49th annual conference on March 16-17 in Humboldt. Around 340 trappers from across Saskatchewan, and even some from outside the province, took part in demonstrations, seminars, and competitions throughout the weekend.

Humboldt was busy on the weekend with around 340 trappers coming into the city for the 49th annual Saskatchewan Trappers Association Convention on March 16-17. This was a record setting convention for the association says Ryan Demchynski with the Association. The weekend started with their annual general meeting on Friday evening with two resolutions passing through the association, including reinstating the coyote season, beaver initiatives, and the use of free hanging snares. All of these resolutions will be taken to the provincial government’s Ministry of Environment to be passed into law. Reinstating coyote season will make shooting coyotes in the summer months, orphaning pups and wasting fur illegal except for farmers protecting livestock. The beaver initiatives resolution will promote beaver pelts as valuable for more than just its tail. “Instead of the beaver tail bounty that’s going through right now, this way it’s showing that the beaver is a valuable furbarer and that it’s getting used, not just killed for its tail and going to waste,� says Demchynski. After the general meeting, the rest of the week was the time to have some fun, says Demchynski with skinning seminars, tradeshow, demonstrations, and competitions and fur fashion show throughout

the Saturday. All trappers in Canada must use traps that have been tested and approved by veterinarians at Fur Institute of Canada’s Vergeville research facility. “Trap manufacturers bring their traps there and they’re tested in real life conditions and all the results are checked over by independent veterinarians with full autopsies,� says Demchynski. Any traps that are not approved by the facility are not legally used in Canada, he says, with members of the Association reporting illegal trapping equipment. Canadian standards for humane animal treatment are the highest in the world and the convention was a great learning opportunity, says local trapper Reggie Gaetz. The market for coyote fur has been strengthened by use in winter coats, including the Canada Goose jackets, says Gaetz. The market is also huge in Japan with western heavy coyotes, located in Alberta and Saskatchewan, being sent through Helsinki with the majority of the furs coming from Saskatchewan, says Demchynski. Looking from inside the trapping industry, says Demchynski, there is a lot of criticism from outside the industry. However, he says, with animal management and regulations, all animal species being trapped are only those species with healthy numbers.
