PCS Lanigan put emergency crews to the test By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

PotashCorp Lanigan Emergency crews were once again competing to represent Lanigan at the 2017 annual In-Plant Emergency Response Competition on April 27. Four teams competed to see who could be the best in first aid, firefighting, and other mine specific rescue problems. These are things that the teams have been training for all year, says Rob Jackson, PCS Lanigan General Manager. “All these teams, we try to keep them together throughout the year and they do training on different aspects of mine rescue...This is a way for them to showcase their skills.” Team Blue made up of Mark Nivon (Captain), Jory Vanthuyne, Chris McLaren, Cody Kennedy, and Devin Toews would take home the honours and will now represent PCS Lanigan at the Provincial Mine Rescue Competition in June in Saskatoon as well as the firefighter rodeo in the fall. Emergency crews are made up of all volunteers from the mine that take on extra training such as rope, first aid, and fire fighting. Members also take these skills out into the community, which is a big win for everybody, says Jackson. Teams are also made up of members with different skills, like electricians. “There’s a high potential that you may have to do something with power, lock it out or do something else, so it’s nice to have that experience.” Other members may include those from operations, which is beneficial when equipment operation is vital in a rescue. It works well to have a complement of people

Four teams from PCS Lanigan competed to represent the mine at the Provincial competition in Saskatoon at the beginning of June with Blue Team taking away the honours. photo by Becky Zimmer making up the team, says Jackson. Having an emergency underground is much different than having one above ground. Some of the tunnels at PCS Lanigan can be as far as an hour from the main shaft, the only way in and out of the mine, so travel time is just one of the things that emergency crews have to think about during an emergency. The majority of the Lanigan arena ice surface was taken up by a simulated mine problem where crews had to assess the area for hazards, people, and air quality to “restore the mine to its original condition,” says the competition pamphlet.

Before members go into the problem they are briefed on the situation. People are trained during an emergency to call an emergency line and give any information they can, like the status of any fires and their own location as well as any other miner locations that they know of. This is the information that will be given to the emergency response Captain in the briefing before they even enter an emergency situation, says Jackson. “The Captains are all trained to ask additional information on power, ventilation, ground control, things like that that may help them when they go into the mine.” Continued on page 4

Bethany Pioneer Village in Middle Lake held another successful dinner theatre to raise money for their own multiplex. The murder mystery comedy, This Business of Murder, was originally only going to run on April 28 to 29 but due to popular demand another show was added for April 27. The performance was a fundraiser for Bethany Pioneer Village to get their own multi-purpose room. That way their future performances do not have to be in the Pioneer Village basement, says organizer, Irene Giesbrecht. The play itself was a murder mystery where the audience itself was tasked with figuring out who the murderer was, the accomplice, the murder weapon, and the motive. Looking for the right play was a challenge since

Giesbrecht heard that audiences usually do not like taking part but want to get involved in some way. “So that was what I was looking for. You have the cast and they (the audience) only have to figure it out.” The cast itself did not know the way the play worked until two weeks before and by then Giesbrecht says they had to be in the know, to know how the play would end and for the audience’s question time. During the dessert intermission, the cast went out into the audience and the audience were encouraged to ask questions to help them solve the mystery. “It’s been really interesting watching everyone and that they’re doing it, that they are playing the game.” The mystery revolved around the death of Lord Allen Sweetener, played by Mark Schlitz, the owner of Sweetener’s Sweet Things Chocolate Factory.

Being a spiteful and crooked businessman, everyone had a motive to commit murder including his two sisters, his four business managers, and even his secretary. A lot of work went into the fundraiser, from the performers, the cooks, to ticket makers, but Giesbrecht says it is a lot of work but worth it to hear everyone laugh. Organizing everything did start late with rehearsals starting in late March. “We did it in a month and they did a miraculous job.” Each table had their own answer sheet just like a game of clue and each night proved to be a different set of answers. This was even something new for the Bethany Pioneer Village crew, says Giesbrecht, who always wanted to attend a similar play but never got the chance.

Fifty years no small feat for St. Peter’s Chorus By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

Over 500 people have been involved with St. Peter’s Chorus since its inception in 1967. Now 50 years later, some of those 500 members have gotten together to celebrate with two concerts and their anniversary banquet. Current members got together for their first concert in Lanigan on April 28 at Knox United Church while April 30 saw the chorus return home to St. Peter’s Church in Muenster. The group sang beautiful renditions of songs that have been sung in years past, even one going back to their first concert back in 1968 and even a new one that was just added to their repertoire. Some numbers were specifically chosen as tributes to the choir’s founding director, Al Gerwing who passed away in 2007. The 48 member choir was joined by another 16 former members to form the Reunion Choir for the last four songs of their St. Peter’s performance. The anniversary banquet on April 29 meant the return of a lot of old faces. Current Director Maxine Moore, who has been directing full time since 1992, says it was a busy but wonderful weekend connecting with people she has not seen in years over happy hour and supper. Some members even came out from as far as California and Ontario to join the choir for a special weekend. Manny Lefebvre brought something special to the banquet with a video history of the choir, which was well appreciated by all, says Moore.

Fourty-eight members of the St. Peter’s Chorus got together for the first of two concerts for the St. Peter’s 50th anniversary concert weekend at Knox United Church on April 28. The weekend also included a reunion banquet on April 29 and the final concert at St. Peter’s Church in Muenster on April 30.

photo by Becky Zimmer As well as speakers from the Saskatchewan Choral Federation and Abbot Peter Novecosky, Loretta Schugmann was presented with a special award for 50 years with the choir. Schugmann grew up in a musical household around Muenster so continuing on with teaching, playing and singing just seemed right as she grew up. Being invited to join the choir by Gerwing, Schugmann thought she would give it a try. Fifty years later she still finds her car points in the direction of rehearsals on Monday nights.

Being able to share in the celebration of 50 years has definitely been a highlight for Schugmann. Lasting that long has been a wonderful achievement for the group, says Moore. “Generally, groups like that tend to come and go with a person in the community that has an interest in directing, as opposed to a church choir because churches will always be there.” People in the choir make it happen, says Moore, and these are the people that make her job directing easier, she says.

“I have all these people there that want to come and want to be a part of it.” Singing is life skill with many benefits, says Moore, which is why they have various ages from 20-80 singing together in the choir. With that mix also comes a strong future for the choir with no noted departures any time soon. “We’re set to go for more years,” says Moore. Schugmann says that she will be sticking with the choir as long as she can climb the risers to get to her spot.

Viscount news By Sandra Reid Correspondent Viscount Archery Club had eight archers attend the Junior Olympic Championship in Prince Albert April 1.

Leafs show promise while Jays falter By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

Emotions of sports fans who live and die with professional teams from Toronto were like a teeter-totter in April. Teetering up…the forever sadsack Maple Leafs were energized, giving the Presidents Trophy-winning Washington Capitals everything they could handle and showing signs that if not this year, then they would certainly be legitimate Stanley Cup contenders next year or the year after. Teetering down…Canada’s team, the Blue Jays, had their worst April in team history, sagging to the bottom of the American League East and not only staying there, but posting the worst record in all of Major League Baseball. After 16 games, the Jays were 4-12 for a winning percentage of .250. By April 23, the Jays were seven games behind division-leading Baltimore. It didn’t help that stopper Roberto Osuna started the season on the disabled list. It didn’t help that Edwin Encarnacion signed as a free agent with Cleveland in the offseason, reducing the protection his big bat used to provide other hitters in the lineup. It didn’t help that 36-year-old Jose Bautista was off to the worst start of his career, batting .130 after 16 games and whiffing about 40 per cent of the time. It didn’t help that 2015 American League Most Valuable Player Josh Donaldson went on the disabled list with a recurrence of a calf injury. It didn’t help that pitchers Aaron Sanchez (15 wins last year) and J.A. Happ, a 20-game winner in 2016, missed starts due to ailments. Happ and Sanchez are key pieces in the Jays’ starting

rotation. In the pre-season, the Jays’ staff was the envy of most MLB teams. Happ, Sanchez, Marco Estrada, Marcus Stroman and Francisco Liriano is, on paper, about as solid as any team’s. In fact, Stroman was coming off a sensational World Baseball Classic where he led the U.S. to the title and was named tournament MVP. Then he comes back to regular season play and loses two of his first three games with a 4.05 ERA. It’s almost guaranteed the Blue Jays will pick up the pace. They will not continue to play at a one-win-infour pace. But falling eight to 10 games under .500 in April means they have to play close to .600 ball the rest of the season to have a hope of making the playoffs. It may be a bad year for the Jays, but at least Toronto fans’ fortunes are being buoyed by the encouraging play of the Leafs. • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Honest Company is rolling out a new line of ‘Born A Fan’ diapers featuring MLB team logos. In other words, more than the bases will be full this season.” • RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “A town of 60 people in Pennsylvania is up for sale for $US 1.5 million. If you pay cash, they’ll throw in the 76ers.” • Late-night funnyman Conan O’Brien: “Former NFL player Titus Young was sentenced to four years in prison. Young said he’s sad to go to prison but happy to be reunited with his old teammates.” • Bob Molinaro of pilotonline.com (Hampton, Va.): “The leader in the clubhouse for this year’s best baseball name is Rookie Davis, a rookie pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. But will he have to change his name next season?” • Dwight Perry again, on news that Serena Williams

is pregnant: “Wimbledon oddsmakers immediately installed her as the doubles favourite.” • Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “Pro wrestler the Undertaker gave a motivational speech to the Texas Longhorns football team. Now Texas has a new plan. One player is going to distract the referees while the other hits an opponent from behind.” • RJ Currie again: “When Warriors forward Kevin Durant claims he always bangs his head on things, is it said bashfully?” • Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “Tom Brady decided to skip the White House Super Bowl winner ceremony. It’s not a big deal. Brady has won five Super Bowls. He’s been to the White House more than Melania Trump.” • Another one from Kaseberg: “In his press conference apologizing for his arrest for assault, Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones got in an altercation with a reporter. Been a rough week for Adam. Earlier this week he beat-up his anger-management therapist.” • Dwight Perry again: “This just in: Tiger Woods won’t play in a major again this year, but his surgeon just made another cut.” • Cam Hutchinson of the Saskatoon Express, on why it took the NFL 52,129 tries to come up with its next NFL schedule: “Apparently everyone wanted to play Cleveland twice.” • Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com, on the NHL’s Predators becoming the first No. 8 seed in a major pro league to sweep a top seed: “So will someone in Nashville at least write a country song about the Chicago Blackhawks?” Care to comment?

PCS Lanigan put emergency crews to the test Continued from cover Going through the problem, the team also coordinates their efforts with a fresh air base above ground. This communication is critical, says Jackson, including with people not on the emergency response team, First Aid was also tested with crews going into a situation with minimal knowledge of what is going on with 20 minutes to stabilize the casualties

and arrange transportation, says the pamphlet. “With several injuries happening at the same time, (we’re) trying to test their ability to assess the casualties as well as their Captain to triage the importance of those casualties,” says First Aid Coordinator Jeff Morelli. Dealing with an emergency underground, access to resources and travel times become an issue, says Morelli.

Teams also showcased their fire fighting skills at the Lions Campgrounds with three different fires, each with five gallons of a 50/50 gasoline and diesel mixture. With limited air and space, fire fighting above ground is a lot different compared to fire fighting underground with travel time and limited resources also needing to be considered.

For the above ground simulation, they just need to put out the fire as quickly as possible with only as many fire extinguishers as they would need, says Fire Fighting judge Trevor Hallborg from PotashCorp Cory. Support from the community is always there, from the Town of Lanigan providing the facility for the competition to everyone who comes out for the competition and the banquet.

Trump the definition of wild card for Canadian Ag

Calvin Daniels Canadians involved in trade with the United States may have felt a rather chill wind coming out of the south last week. That wind of course was from the mouth of U.S. president Donald Trump who is again rattling his swords in regards to trade, with an eye to reopening agreements including the North American Free Trade Agreement. Last week Trump gave

a speech in Wisconsin where he railed against trade deals, calling NAFTA a “disaster”, and given the dairy sector in that U.S. state pointed specifically to the “unfair” rules he deems exist in the trade deal. “Very, very unfair. It’s another typical one-sided deal against the United States and it’s not going to be happening for long,” Trump said. “We’re going to call Canada and we’re going to say, ‘what happened?’” The same speech was a kick-off to Trump’s efforts to ‘Buy American’, which at least initially will be an effort based on following existing rules more closely, rather than creating harsher guidelines. The situation is not exactly unexpected. When John Gormley,

the long-time radio talk show host, and former Member of Parliament, spoke in Yorkton earlier this year, he noted NAFTA was a target for the U.S. president. “Mr. Trump says he wants to tweak NAFTA in regards to Canada,” said Gormley during his presentation, adding that there is no way of knowing what the U.S. president means with the word tweak. Trump has also said he wants to see more “drastic” changes to NAFTA in terms of trade with Mexico, said Gormley. But, Canada may have moved up the list in Trump’s mind, or at least in recent rhetoric. John DePutter, founder and President of DePutter Publishing Ltd., speaking at a Farm Credit Canada

Ag Knowledge Exchange event held in Yorkton earlier this year also hinted Trump could cause waves in terms of trade. In crystal balling the commodity prices DePutter said there are 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-glo-

balization trend going on too, which is sad. Agriculture needs exports,” he said. “The U.S. and Canada both benefit from an open grain trade.” Gormley too hinted at the uncertainty Trump creates. “The man takes unorthodox to levels most of us can’t understand,” he said during his Yorkton presentation. “… 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.” The most recent trade remarks have to be unsettling for Canadian business as there is a distinct possibility American business will look internally to appease the Trump administration’s

posturing. That is worrisome given the importance of U.S. trade for Canadian agriculture. “Seventy-five per cent of Canadian exports go to the United States,” said Gormley, adding U.S. trade with Canada is second only to their trade with China. Specific to Saskatchewan 60 per cent of the province’s exports head south, with an annual value of about $20 billion, and that includes about $2 billion in canola seed, oil and meal, with the U.S. also a key market for wheat, oats and several other farm crops. Anything which works to destabilize that trade, in this case the inwardlooking Trump is not good news on this side of the border.

Relief on the horizon for Quill Lakes Watershed By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

Water levels continue to rise and the Quill Lakes Watershed Association No. 14 is looking at a solution. Members of the watershed association were given a rundown on the severity of the rise in water during a pair of public information meetings in Nokomis on April 24 and Naicam on April 26. Watershed association president Kerry Holderness told those in attendance that water levels have already exceeded the historical high in the area by 1.3 meters, with annual runoff from 2005-2015 averaging more than four times the yearly average for the 30 years prior. Runoff for this year has already exceeded the previous 30 year average by 30 million cubic meters and to this point there has been no significant rainfall, all of the runoff is courtesy of saturated landscape, noted Holderness, who says the majority of the runoff is from rainfall. Holderness noted that despite reaching a new record in water levels engineer reports suggest that the flood could last for another 10-25 years. Lakes have increased in water levels by 7 meters in the last 12 years, and leaves the lakes just .58 meters away from overflow, and 1.21 meters away from the water leaving as quickly as it comes in. Last year there was approximately 33,579 acres of private farm land under water resulting in more than $43.5 million in lost crop economy, which does not include the losses to the livestock and recreation sector, losses to crop lands due to high water events, and losses to business, municipal, and provincial infrastructure and private property. Due to a 17 centimeter rise in water Holderness noted that last year alone there was more than $8.5 million in losses. Holderness noted that if they do not do anything about the flooding ap-

proximately 87,000 acres of land will be flooded resulting in more than $112.7 million in losses annually, and $1.12 billion per decade, until land recovery, which is estimated would take 50-60 years. If action is taken Holderness told the audience that they can look at saving more than $69.2 million annually. Despite hearing a lot of bad news, members of the watershed were greeted with some good news as well, as Holderness noted they were close to commencing work on their new Common Ground Proposal. “We’re in the engineering phases of it right now,� he said. Once the engineering phase of the project is complete Holderness says it is very important that they start implementing the project. “We’re one 2011 rainfall away from the lakes going by themselves and when anybody downstream or upstream or anywhere wants to study this more we’re going to have to say the time for that is just about over we don’t have time for a whole bunch of this anymore we have to do something or it’s going to come by itself.� The project is broken down into two parts, the first of which will see up to 33 per cent of the fresh water runoff stored and later released downstream, when there is room in the downstream systems. The phase of the project also contains a back-door release mechanism, which would see the fresh water go back to the Quill Lakes, where it already goes, if storage capacity is full. The second phase of the project would see the saline water disposed into an appropriate aquifer, which would see water from Big Quill Lake moved into an underground system of similar water quality. Holderness noted that both systems have the potential to provide some relief for the Quill Lakes and says they are both important to help alleviate the workload on just a single system. “Our common ground proposal has been gaining a lot of support and rec-

Saline water is a large part of the focus, says Holderness, who notes it can be quite damaging if the saline water floods as it takes much longer to recover. “It’s just a matter of managing it properly and if we can manage it properly we can minimize any damages before they happen.�

This project is very personal on a lot of levels, says Holderness. “A lot of people that have lost land are my friends and neighbours‌ I’m getting more people that I know personally who are going under all the time.â€? Holderness says he hopes members left the meetings knowing there is potentially a solution on the horizon. “We need their support and keep their pressure up on their MLA’s and on the provincial government to say that everybody is looking for a solution and we’re looking for a solution fast.â€?

Challenging 2016 for Prairie North Co-op By Devan C. Tasa For the East Central Trader

The 2016 fiscal year was challenging for the Prairie North Co-op, but it managed to earn almost $1.1 million. The 2017 fiscal year is looking better so far. “2016 was a tough year,� said Randy Wassermann, the co-op’s general manager, at its annual general meeting April 25. “We had some challenges with weather. Being an agricultural-based co-op, it certainly took us for a bit of a hit.� Earnings decreased from 2015. The co-op earned almost $1.7 million. The co-op also decided to close three locations: the service bays and furniture store in Melfort, as well as the farm supply store in Spalding.

“We had 10 straight years of losses in those departments and it just wasn’t sustainable,� Wassermann said. The total cost to wrap up those departments was $215,000. Sales for the co-op were close to being the same, with $70 million in 2016, compared to $70.1 million in 2015. Gross margins were $11.1 million this year, down almost $410,000. “Margins have been pressured this year by increased competition, particularly in the ag business. There’s been a lot of consolidations in agriculture and a lot of large competitor vying for market share,� Wassermann said. “Food stores have been increasingly tough with food margins because of more competition and people are more

mobile.� The St. Brieux, Spalding and Naicam food stores are all losing money. “We are looking at efficiencies, sharing services between the three food stores that we operate outside of Melfort, � Wassermann said, adding it has meat cutting and baked goods produced in Melfort to reduce costs. The food stores also share some management. Members of the co-op will receive almost $788,000 in patronage from the 2016 fiscal year, compared to $1.2 million the year before.

2017 looks brighter Two major projects the co-op is working on are expected to be complete by 2017. The Melfort C-store will have both lanes of pumps open next week. The car wash upgrade will continue in May and completely open in June. Wassermann said there will be new decor, a new agro services centre and a new contractor centre when renovations are complete. “We had some challenges to overcome in 2016, but we’re off to a good start in 2017, looking forward to a good strong year.�

Students on the move at 2017 Student Day

In a spontaneous performance, Codie Prevost and the Winston High School Garage Band got together to perform some Bob Seger for the Horizon School Division Student Day 2017 on April 25. The day included student speakers from all across Horizon sharing stories of leadership to encourage their fellow students to forge their own path.

It was a day to empower students and what better way than to hear from the students themselves. The Horizon School Division Student Day 2017 on April 25 saw 200 students gather to represent all 41 Horizon School Division schools and Englefeld including many student leadership presenters from all across Horizon School Division. This year’s student leaders included those who traveled to new places and those who are a part of new initiatives into their school. Student Day Committee Chair, Jolene Koopman, wants students to be leaders and showing them leaders among their peers is the best way to encourage that. “They don’t have to be in a leadership position to be a leader and they have all shown that today that they are strong leaders for our youth and they have a great future ahead of them.” This leadership was evident throughout the day in many different ways, says Director of Education Kevin Gar-

inger, from media presentations to talks to musical performances. “They all can make an impact, not only within amongst their family and peers, within their classrooms and schools but also they can make that impact globally that they have that within themselves.” Elias McNab and Tiara Pelletier from Punnichy Community High School presented on their time with Sigmund Brouwer, the Horizon School Division Writer in Residence and the author of Innocent Heroes. The grade 9 students from the school worked closely with Brouwer as his First Nations consultants for the book. Pelletier says that she wants fellow students to know the contributions of First Nations people in the First World War and what they were still denied after returning from war. “They were still denied citizenship even after they volunteered to go to war,” she says. McNab says that seeing First Nation representation in the book is important for the students. “We gave our perspective and a lot of

people when they read that will see that perspective not the perspective of say Hollywood or any of that other stuff.” The day finished off with some musical performances to get kids out of their seats. The Winston High School Garage Band performed some classic rock n’ roll, while Codie Prevost brought his country rock sounds, even coming together to play some Bob Seger’s Old Time Rock n’ Roll. Hannah Gill and Kyle Sather have been playing music for a while but were brought together with other students to form their own senior garage band under teacher, Vlad Osatiuk. The band is its own class and is formed by members from grades 10 to 12. This will be Gill’s last performance as a grade 12 student so it was very fun to perform for fellow students. Gill wants all her fellow students to get out and try something new. “Don’t be afraid to get out there and show yourself off.”

Prevost, being a product of Horizon School Division himself, is always very proud to come and share his story with the students year after year as well as sing some of his songs. “The biggest thing I found with these days is that they embrace leadership and courage to go out into the world after you’re done in the school and do whatever you want to do.” Starting out in Rose Valley School and on the verge of releasing his fourth album, Prevost wants students to embrace that message of following your dreams. “When I was growing up, a musician wasn’t quite a common job that everyone wanted to go to but it was something that I felt I really had to do.” Garinger also wants students to take away that message that nothing stands between them and greatness. Student Day is a testament to that, says Garinger. “Our students and what they’re able to accomplish as young people in our world is tremendous.”

Bates is always excited to see the massive imThe 12th annual Kelly Bates Football Camp was provement even from just Saturday to Sunday. no exception as 90 high school football players Bates noted at the end of the weekend that his from grades 9 to 11 from 24 school football pro- coaching staff, including some current CFL playgrams joined Bates and his all-star coaching staff ers, jumped at the chance to come out to Muenster at St. Peter’s Abbey on April 29 to 30. to help out and lend their expertise.

“We’re trying to do something which, as a graduate of HCI, wasn’t available to us when we were there. I believe that’s the whole purpose and mind set of community and building community.� Bates had a great experience playing football in Humboldt and he still wants to be a part of that opportunity for young people. For the second year in a row, the MVP Award from the Camp was presented in honour of Justin Gaja, Carter Stevenson, and Kristian Skalicky, three teens from Carrot River who were on their way home from the camp in 2015 when they were involved in a highway crash near Spalding. All three boys died in the crash. Bates says football was something that these young men loved dearly and this is an opportunity and an obligation to honour their memory. “The loss of them to the community of Carrot River and the football community in general was so devastating and so huge that we want to continue to honour those young men.� This award was made even more special since Camp MVP Wyatt Kendall was also a relation to one of the young men. “Speaking with him and his mom after the fact was very humbling,� says Bates. The community support and assistance was much appreciated by both Bates and his staff. Dates have already been set for next year’s camp with Bates planning to be back the first weekend in May.

Red Sox kick off season with doubleheader sweep By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

Baseball is back in Muenster for another season and the Midget AAA Red Sox kicked off their season with a bang and a two game sweep of the Swift Current 57s in Swift Current on April 30. The Sox brought out the big bats in the first half of the doubleheader as they routed the 57s 19-2. After a quiet first inning, which saw each team score a run the Sox’s offense came alive scoring two runs in the second, one in the third and four in the fourth to grab an 8-1 lead through four innings. The teams went scoreless for the next two innings before the Red Sox put the game away in the seventh. The Sox dominated the seventh inning scoring 11 runs on five hits, five errors, two walks, and a hit by pitch, which saw the Sox’s first eight hitters of the inning reach base. The 57s got one run back in the bottom of the inning but that was as close

as they would come in the 19-2 loss. Logan Hofmann, Jayden Huls, and Rylan Marianchuk finished the game a combined 6 for 17 with nine runs scored, six runs batted in, and one walk in the win. Brody Frerichs picked up the win on the mound pitching three innings of one run ball, while allowing just four hits and two walks, while striking out six. The second half of the doubleheader was much quieter for both teams as they combined for just five runs in a 3-2 Red Sox win. After a pair of scoreless innings the Red Sox drew first blood in the third as Frerichs scored on a Kalvin Rueve single to right field. The Red Sox tacked on another run in the fifth inning as Frerichs scored his second run of the ball game on a Huls single to centre field. The 57s answered back in the sixth inning as they scored two runs on one hit, three walks, and a hit by pitch to

send the game into the seventh inning tied at two. The Sox wasted little time regaining the lead as Jayden Huls scored the game-winning run on a Braden Fleischhacker sacrifice fly after reaching first on an error and stealing second and third base. Drew Bauml locked the game down in the bottom of the seventh inning as he induced three straight outs after giving up a walk and a single to the first two batters he faced. Frerichs had a solid game at the plate as he finished 2 for 3 with two runs

scored and a walk. Bauml picked up the win as he pitched two innings giving up two runs, two hits and four walks, while striking out two. Hofmann got the start for the Red Sox and was spectacular pitching five innings of two hit, one walk, shutout ball, while striking out 12 of the 17 batters he faced. The Red Sox return home for their first home action of the season as they welcome the Northwest Prairie Pirates to Muenster Jubilee Memorial Park on May 7.

TOKARSKI: Steven George July 3, 1952 - April 19, 2017 Steven Tokarski of the Watson District, SK, passed away at home on the family farm on Wednesday, April 19, 2017 with his wife by his side. He was 64 years of age. Steve was a quiet-spoken, well-seasoned, very interesting man who left his mark in every greeting and conversation. He loved his family, was very protective of his children, and loved to talk with and be around family and close friends. Steve also loved having friends over for dinner; he enjoyed good food and good drink. An avid outdoorsman, Steve had a passion for nature, farming and gardening. He also loved picking wild mushrooms. Steve was a fisherman, through and through; he would jump at the opportunity to fish, especially with his favourite buddies Goldie and Morris, and was known for his master filleting skills. Throughout his life, Steve had an ongoing thirst for knowledge and believed in life-long learning. He was a strong man who took pride in his work; he knew something about everything and could fix almost anything. Steve loved cars and could name any vehicle at first glance. He had a competitive side and loved to win, a characteristic anyone who played cards with him could attest to. Steve won the Watson Legion Crib tournaments three years in a row. He also had a creative side, loved art, and quite enjoyed catering with Debra. He was the quality control person when the perogies were being made and took great pride in his designing of the fruit and dessert platters. Fond memories of Steve will bring to mind how important Debra, the love of his life, was to him; the passion he had for his farm; the enjoyment he got from watching the hummingbirds and orioles in his yard, the pride he had in being welldressed; and his pleasure in having a good drink of Scotch. “Steve was a good husband, father, and grandfather who left us too soon. There are many trips he hasn’t yet taken, many restaurants he should frequent, many items he still needs to collect, and who will remind Debra to please, be patient?� Steve leaves to mourn his wife, Debra; daughter Taya; sons: Paul and Doug (Fay) and grandsons: Christopher and Eli. A Celebration of Steve’s Life was held at the Watson Civic Centre on Wednesday, April 26, 2017, at 3:00 p.m., officiated by Rev. Brenda Curtis. Others taking part were: Taya Tokarski and Paul Tokarski, eulogists; Ingrid Eggerman and Chris Gaudet, memorial table attendants; urnbearer was Debra Tokarski; Neil and Mitchell Bryce, refreshment table attendants. The family would like to thank Dr. Ron Kozakavich for the years of service to this family and especially toward the end of Steve’s life, and also the Palliative Care Nurses.

Obituaries KALTHOFF: Myles March 15, 1955 - April 24, 2017 The death of Myles Edward Kalthoff, 62 years of Humboldt, occurred on Monday, April 24, 2017 at Humboldt District Hospital. Myles was born on March 15, 1955 at home on the farm to Sylvester and Lydia (nee Engele) Kalthoff. He grew up on the farm, attending Epson and then Fulda Schools. His dad passed away when he was young and he began helping with the farm work. Myles met Sherry Lang from Middle Lake and he knew right away that she was ‘the one’ for him. They were married on February 15, 1975 and settled into a life of farming. For many years, during the winter months, Myles worked as a mechanic for Picouye Service and Quality RV. He really enjoyed racing snowmobiles for Picouye Service and he and Sherry spent many hours snowmobiling with friends all around the province. They were blessed with three sons, who kept them very busy with their many activities. Myles and Sherry ran a grain farm and then from 1988 to 2009, because of Myles’ love of cattle they added a herd to their farm. He also enjoyed his annual moose hunting trips to Mistatim and camping and fishing at Big River. Over the years, Myles and Sherry were able to take a number of warm winter holidays to various destinations. They loved spending time with their boys and their grandchildren. On July 1, 2008, Myles changed his address for the first time in his life, moving from the farm, where he was born and raised, in to Humboldt. He continued to farm from town with his son, Kirby until a couple of years ago. Sadly, on January 15, 2015 Sherry passed away. Losing the love of his life was very hard on Myles and his health slowly deteriorated over the last two years. Myles will be lovingly remembered by his three sons and four grandchildren: Brendan (Amy) Kalthoff of Humboldt and daughters Delaney and Kaybri, Kirby Kalthoff of Fulda and son Dylan, and Kyle (Cori-Lynn) Kalthoff of Humboldt and son Kenneth; one sister and two brothers: Karen (Ralph) Fleischhacker and Wayne Kalthoff, all of Humboldt, and Neil (Maryanne) Kalthoff of Wakaw; sisters-and-brothers-in-law: Jeannette (Donald) Hoffman of Middle Lake, and Arlene (Cliff) Wedewer and Doug Wedewer, all of Cudworth; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He grew up on the farm near Fulda and attended Fulda Elementary School. After completing grade eight, he was given the option to either continue school or to farm.

She grew up on the farm near Dixon and attended Dixon School. She attended high school at the Humboldt Collegiate Institute in Humboldt and completed her grade ten. Jim and Karen fell in love at a very young age and they were married on March 28, 1967. They settled on the Moormann family farm where they raised their two children, Monique and Ross. Together they farmed in the Fulda area until 2000, but they couldn’t leave the tranquility of the farm. Jim demonstrated his enjoyment and knowledge of the outdoors by activities such as hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, and nature photography. Karen was a true homemaker. She was an amazing gardener, a wonderful cook, and a fantastic baker. In 1995, Karen received her homecare special care aide certificate and she worked for homecare for the next 12 years. Jim and Karen loved to travel and they ventured to many beautiful destinations, including Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico and all over the United States and Canada. Most of all, they loved being at home with friends and family. They dedicated their entire life to their children, but their greatest pride was their two grandchildren. In September of 2013, Karen was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She faced this diagnosis with great acceptance and dignity. Karen fought a hard battle and she met Jesus on January 24, 2017. Jim’s heart was forever broken after losing his soulmate of 50 years. Jim’s health had been declining over the past few years, and 2 1/2 months after Karen’s passing, he joined her in heaven on April 8, 2017.

PFEIL: Werner Frederick March 28, 1943 - April 22, 2017 It is with broken hearts that the family of Werner Frederick Pfeil of Humboldt, SK, announces his passing at Humboldt District Hospital on Saturday, April 22, 2017. He was 74 years of age. Werner was born on March 28, 1943, to Joseph and Ida (nee Schultz) Pfeil at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, Humboldt.

In 2014 they retired from the farm and the mail route and moved to Humboldt, where they have resided together until the present. Werner’s one great love was farming, but he also enjoyed many things like playing cards, watching curling, baseball (Go Jay’s!!!), and old westerns on television. Werner was a well-known man, and a dear “Papa� to many little ones. He will always be remembered for his sense of humour; making people laugh gave him great joy. Unfortunately Werner had faced health issues in the last 12 years, but the visits from family and friends gave him great comfort and strength on this journey. His greatest pride and joy were his children and grandchildren; he treasured every moment spent with them. Werner will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his wife of 48 years, Elaine (nee Engele) Pfeil of Humboldt; three daughters and their families: Carrie (Brian) Tameling and children, Devin and Ashley, all of Summerland, BC; Carmen (Darcy) Sarauer of Humboldt and children, Casey and Kelli, both of Saskatoon, and Cole of Humboldt; and Charlene (Neil) Zurburg and children, Drayton and Brianna, all of Humboldt; two brothers: Bernard (Jeannette) Pfeil, and Arnold (Clothilda ) Pfeil; two sisters: Marion Duke, and Beatrice Herman; members of the Engele family: mother-in-law, Julia Engele; sisters-and-brothers-inlaw: Jeanette Engele, Ralph (Pat) Engele, Ron (Vernice) Engele, Vera (Les) Stadnyk, Denis (Marilyn) Engele, Tom Engele, Lucy (Wayne) Towstego, and Miles (Helen) Engele; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Water level issues are eye opening By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

Recently I had the pleasure of going to the Quill Lakes Watershed Association No. 14 public meeting in Naicam and what I heard was astonishing. The association noted that water levels have already risen to all time highs, including a whooping 7 meters in the last 12 years, with no signs of slowing down. Losses due to crops have already reached nearly $50 million and runoff this year has already exceeded the 30 year average between 1975 and 2004,

due to the ground already being over saturated. This information was very eye opening and quite truthfully a little scary. This province relies on agriculture as one of its largest sources of revenue and we are slowly seeing an entire area of the province being swallowed up by water. This is affecting a lot of farmers, which in turn affects the population as there is no local livestock or agriculture without a farm. During the course of the meeting it was noted that some farmers are required to pay for land they are unable

to use because it is flooded and if they do not pay for it they will lose their whole farm. This is sad because they are essentially paying for a small lake, which results in lost profits, or worse, a lost farm. I have a hard time understanding how these farmers are able to do this. You hear all the time about climate change and while it holds some weight until you hear about parts of a province being drowned in water it is kind of hard to really fathom the impacts it is having. The good news out of all the bad news is that the watershed authority is

currently working on a solution that will at worst help slow down the flooding. And thank goodness. Over time we might see the water levels start to recede and hopefully get back to a point where it is at a manageable level, or better yet sitting only in the lakes and not on farmers’ land. In the meantime, let us hope that the solution slows down the flooding. And if Mother Nature is listening: please take it easy on us this year. We could use some rain in the summer to keep the crops healthy, but please stop there keep all the extra rain to yourself.

Cudworth Wildlife holds annual banquet By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

It was a successful night for the Cudworth Wildlife Federation at their awards banquet on April 22. The night, which featured an awards show, dinner, a raffle, and a silent auction saw 320 people in attendance, and raised approximately $15,000 for the federation. Cudworth Wildlife Federation president John Eckel said it was very nice to see so many people in attendance and said he was very appreciative of all of their support. The money raised will go to a pair of projects within the community including adding fish to one of the local lakes and making repairs to the gun range.

In addition to raising money for the federation the club also handed out a number of awards, which is an important part of the evening because it gives recognition to the members for their hard work over the course of the year, says Eckel. The silent auction featured a number of items, including bags of canola seed and a toy tractor, and the raffle featured a $2,900 WestJet flight voucher. Having that support from businesses is an important part of making the evening a success, says Eckel. “Couldn’t do it without so much support.� The club also made a draw for their boat raffle, which

raised an additional $8,250, with the proceeds from that raffle going to the Cudworth Swimming Pool. Being able to give back to the community is important, says Eckel, who notes giving specifically to the pool is a great way to help the community, as it provides a place for children and adults to learn how to swim and also teaches them the proper use of lifejackets for swimming, fishing, and boating. Eckel would also like to thank the many volunteers who helped make the event a success, saying they could not have done it without them. “It was awesome.�

Traeger wood pellet grills use a natural biomass wood pellet fuel. No fossil fuels of any kind are used in the combustion process. Traeger…the environmentally responsible way to cook outdoors.

Traeger wood pellet grills utilize an indirect cooking system that “reduces the fat” and charring, decreasing cancer causing “benzo-a-pyrene” on food. The hardwood smoke created by our wood pellets produces antioxidants similar to vitamin E. Traeger wood pellet grills are a healthier way to cook.
