Western Economic Diversification (WD) Canada is looking to help out small and medium businesses.

And time is running out.

With the Nov. 29 deadline fast approaching, members of WD Canada were out at Prairie Agriculture Machinery Institute (PAMI) on Nov. 9 promoting the Western Innovation (WINN) Initiative.

Any business with less than 500 employees are eligible to apply with “commercialize innovative technology-based products, processes or services,” wrote Rhonda Laing, Director, Policy, Planning and External Relations with Western Economic Diversification Canada in an email.

“WINN is a concrete step towards addressing the commercialization gap in the Canadian innovation process. The Initiative will help create an environment where businesses can thrive and compete in today’s marketplace,” says Laing.

Possible funding for the project can reach a $3.5 million contribution from WD with a $10 million maximum for companies applying with multiple projects.

Recipients have one year after the completion of the project to start the repayment process, says Laing.

“Recipients will be required to make equal monthly payments over the five years following the expiry of the grace period. In total, the funding recipient will have a maximum of six years to repay WD’s total contribution amount.”

Beyond the small to medium business requirement, innovators must have a viable plan to commercialize a new or improved technology-driven product, process or service with at least 50 per cent funding confirmed for the project.

The projects technological advances can be many different areas of industry, with WD focusing on initiatives that fit six specific industries, says Laing; clean technology, value added agriculture, advanced manufacturing, digital technology, clean resources, or health biological sciences.

PAMI’s Vice President of Finance Joanne Forer sees how challenging a time it is for innovators because they are trying to get their product to market as fast as possible while not expecting returns until further down the road.

“Anytime you can access programs that allow either capital to patient or can speed up that process is far better to the companies because it brings in cash flow quicker.”

In regard to PAMI’s role within WINN, Forer says they can help companies who are in those research and development stages get to market faster. The WINN program really dovetails in what PAMI has to offer, she says.

“We don’t take IP (intellectual property) which is always owned by the companies.”

You invest a lot of money in the research and development process, says Forer, so having your project partially funded at those stages can minimize that financial burden of innovation.

“Their basic challenge is always going to be coming up with new ideas, testing them and making sure they are market ready. It’s really the challenge of the amount of time and financial resources it takes to do that.”

The market is always looking for something new at a faster pace, says Forer, new innovations can be left behind in the market place.

Of the 85 projects that have been approved to date, seven have been from Saskatchewan based companies for a total of $18.1 million being contributed to Saskatchewan business initiatives.

Keller leads stars-studded NHL rookie class

By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

They’re young. They’re talented.

And for the most part, they were flying under the radar until they hit the ice for the start of this year’s National Hockey League season.

This year’s rookie class in the NHL is outstanding.

Last year, the rookie race was a two-man show — the Leafs’ Auston Matthews and the Jets’ Patrik Laine.

In the end, after all the headlines and the offensive splashes the two made, Matthews, the No. 1 pick in the previous year’s draft, beat out Laine, the No. 2 pick the same year, for rookie of the year honours.

But this year’s top two picks, Nico Hischier of New Jersey and Nolan Patrick of Philadelphia, are being outscored, out headlined and outshone by a half-dozen or more first-year players, the best of which appears to be, by far, Clayton Keller of Arizona.

Keller, who grew up in the St. Louis area, was chosen No. 7 in the 2016 amateur draft. He scored 11 goals in the Coyotes’ first 18 games and led the rookie scoring race by three over Brock Boeser, the pride of Vancouver, who sat out the Canucks’ first two games before getting a chance and making the most of it.

Hadn’t heard of Boeser before the season began? Not many had. Nor were players like Mathew Barzal, Kyle Connor, Will Butcher and Charlie McAvoy household names. But Barzal, a Seattle Thunderbird grad from Coquitlam, B.C., is one of the key guys on the Islanders’ offence, and had a five-assist game in early November. Connor started the season in the minors but was called up by the Jets Oct. 17 and potted seven points in his first 10 games. Butcher, along with Jesper Bratt, have joined with Hischier to give the New Jersey Devils an almost unprecedented trio of first-year stars. McAvoy already might be Boston’s best defenceman.

Meanwhile, Patrick, the former Brandon Wheat King who was the consensus No. 1 pick almost all of last year before falling to No. 2 behind Hischier on Draft Day, is struggling with the Flyers. He’s had a couple

of nagging injuries and has one goal after five weeks of the season.

It just goes to show that the scouts’ pre-draft rankings mean little. Arizona fans would laugh at the suggestion that their man Keller was the seventh-best player in his draft year.

The Coyotes are still the worst team in the league, but perhaps they can build winner around their young star.

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Husband and wife Michael and Jasmine Snell bowled 300 games on the same night in Omaha, Neb. Or as they’re now known around Chops Bowling Alley, the perfect couple.”

• Hall of Fame DB Deion Sanders, to NFL Network, on Steelers WR Martavis Bryant acting like a diva: “He needs to understand that, baby, you’re an accessory, you’re not the suit. You’re the tie ... and the suit is Antonio Brown.”

• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Tiger Woods has pleaded guilty

The dangers of Neonicotinoids are becoming clearer

Calvin Daniels If you are a farmer you no doubt have been following the issues

popping up around neonicotinoids.

Neonicotinoids (sometimes shortened to neonics) are a class of neuro-active insecticides chemically similar to nicotine, notes Wikepedia. In the late 1990s neonicotinoids came under increasing scrutiny over their environmental impact when their use was linked in a range of studies to adverse eco-

logical effects, including honey-bee colony collapse disorder (CCD) and loss of birds due to a reduction in insect populations. In 2013, the European Union and a few non EU countries restricted the use of certain neonicotinoids.

The studies into the impact of Neonicotinoids on bees are not black and white, but the decision in the EU

illustrates governments are nervous.

That nervousness is created by realities.

The first is a concern by consumers, which as a group has become quite reactionary in terms of any hint of farm chemicals impacting the environment.

Even when solid science suggests the threat is minimal consumers are largely unconvinced as the world tends to be leery of science these days.

Consumers are voters, so governments listen.

Then there is the suggestion neonicotinoids impact bee populations which are a key food plant pollinator.

Scientists have conducted dozens of studies on neonicotinoid seed treatments and the potential impact on bee health, but now new research from closer to home are suggesting

neonicotinoids are having a negative impact in terms of our environment.

Reported by the Western Producer recently, researchers at the University of Saskatchewan have found that canola seed coated with imidacloprid, a type of neonicotinoid, can be toxic to songbirds.

“Imidacloprid dosed birds exhibited significant declines in fat stores and body mass and failed to orient correctly,” the scientists wrote in a study published Nov. 9 in the journal Scientific Reports, detailed at www. producer.com.

“These results suggest that wild songbirds consuming the equivalent of just four imidacloprid-treated canola seeds… per day over three days could suffer impaired condition, migration delays

and improper migratory direction, which could lead to increased risk of mortality or lost breeding opportunity.”

These latest findings are worrisome in the sense neonicotinoids are so widely use. They are applied as a seed treatment to almost all of the canola and corn grown in North America and a portion of the soybean crop.

The loss of neonicotinoids as an insect control option in such high valued crops as canola, corn and soybeans would be a major hit to producers.

But with mounting evidence neonicotinoids are impacting bee populations, and now may be a threat to songbirds too, it is hard to envision mounting consumer pressure to deal with the situation through tighter use restrictions, if not outright bans.

Do we need to bicker in question period?

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

We are in a season of renewal within Saskatchewan politics.

With both parties searching for new leaders, this is a time that we can look forward to new leaders in the coming year.

This is a new opportunity to change the way things are done during question period.

With the lack of respect and many attacks within Question Period unprovoked and senseless, attending the Legislative assembly makes me very uncomfortable.

Watching Cable Public Affairs Channel (CPAC) or clips on the news from Parliament Hill, we see the same thing: a lack of decorum.

Members lay blame and call out taunts and insults during other members’ discussions of issues important to Saskatchewan and Canadian politics.

Elizabeth May, MP for Saanhich-Gulf Island and Leader of the Green Party of Canada, has spoken numerous times to her colleagues about having decorum within the House, there is too much heckling from other members all around the House of Commons.

How does that make any sense?

The goals of government, to govern the best they can and do what is best for Canadians and the people of Saskatchewan, are the same for every MP and MLA respectively, even if their party colours

are different.

It is more than just members being over sensitive or unable to handle the boys club and everything that that entails.

I would like to see a study done about how much time is wasted by senseless bickering and see how much time could be better spent deciding on what is best for the country and the province.

Over the past month I have spoken with potential party leaders, and I am curious about their stances on the current level of decorum during Question Period.

They have procedures in the Legislature and Parliament for sensible and respectful discussion, such as addressing the Speaker of the House instead of the members directly and waiting until Mr. Speaker acknowledges your turn to speak. None of which includes taunts and bickering from across the aisle.

One MLA I spoke with noted that school groups are often in the gallery, there to watch the democratic process.

They are taught at a young age to behave respectfully towards their fellow students and siblings, and yet they come to a place where important government work is done and see members openly harassing their colleagues, just because they come from a different party.

What if this happened in any other workplace besides the House of Commons?

How would office meetings go if anyone could

taunt the speaker without repercussions?

It has often been said that this is just for theatrics, but why would we want to have our MLAs or MPs representing themselves in that way?

Saskatchewan Party candidates often say that the candidates they are running against are colleagues first before they are opponents, and that they all work together after the election is over. According to the candidates, this is why debates and discussions have been cordial rather than an actual debate about important issues that these leaders will have to tackle when they become leader of the party.

This is the problem I had with the “debate” in Melfort I covered for newspapers in Humboldt and Tisdale.

We can do both; have deep yet respectful discussions on important issues.

Why is respect something that we save for interparty elections and not for times when thoughtful discussion and decorum are needed on both sides of the House?

No matter what bill is tabled, the MLAs still need to work together, no matter what colour they are.

So why can we not have every MLA be a colleague to one another?

We can still have thoughtful discussion and lively debate without taunts, insults, and blame.

As Saskatchewan and Canadian citizens, we should be demanding respectful behaviour and maturity from all MLAs and MPs.

Studies show the benefits of acupuncture

By Dr. Megan Parker, ND Health Columnist

Acupuncture is an ancient form of therapy that dates back over 3000 years.

It is an integral component of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture has been used for many conditions and ailments in ancient cultures and continues to be a successful treatment option in the modern medicinal system.

The traditional theory of acupuncture is related to energy or Qi flow throughout the body.

Qi is constantly flowing through our body within channels related to individual organ systems. We need this Qi or energy to be in balance within our bodies and amongst the various organ systems. Areas of imbalance or disrupted energy flow can contribute to pain, inflammation,

dysfunction and illness.

Acupuncture works along these channels to help balance the Qi flow.

We can stimulate or sedate energy with acupuncture depending on the person and condition being treated.

Once Qi is moving freely through the body again, health is restored.

Modern medicine has performed many studies assessing the scientific effects that acupuncture is having on your body.

Acupuncture has been shown to activate your nervous system, thus triggering nerve impulses and signalling cascades throughout your body.

An acupuncture treatment stimulates the release of Substance P in your body which is neuropeptide responsible for managing inflammation in your body.

It has also been shown to release endogenous opiod peptides that provide pain relief. Acupuncture may also stimulate your hypothalamus and pituary gland, which are control centres in your brain, trigger changes throughout your body including altering secretions of neurotransmitters and hormones.

Acupuncture involves the use of single-use disposable needles inserted into various parts of the body for about fifteen to thirty minutes.

The needles are quite small and most people describe the feeling like a “mosquito bite.” It may be slightly painful or like a pinch, but often people are not able to feel or are unaware of the needle. This is due to the small needle size; most are only about .25 mm thick.

Acupuncture has been shown to be beneficial to a wide variety of ail-

ments. It can help with muscle, joint, and nerve concerns by managing inflammation and pain. Think sciatica, migraines, frozen shoulder, back or neck pain to name a few.

It has impressive hormone balancing effects so can help manage menopause, hot flashes, irregular cycles, or menstrual pain.

Research has also found acupuncture to be a great option for infertility.

It can be used on its own to optimize fertility or alongside other infertility treatments. Multiple studies show acupuncture increasing effectiveness of IUI and IVF treatments.

Because of it’s impressive effects on the central nervous system, acupuncture has amazing benefits for calming the body and mind. It can be very helpful for anxiety or nervousness. The calming sensation can help

combat insomnia and improve sleep.

Acupuncture can also be a great tool to help with stress management in our busy lives.

Digestive ailments also respond well to acupuncture. Stomach aches, cramps, bloating, nausea, heartburn, IBS, and other digestive concerns are often treated with acupuncture.

Next time you are looking for an adjunct therapy to help improve or speed your healing time, consider trying some acupuncture. These little needles have been working wonders for thousands of years.

The Raymore Rebels are provincial champions after knocking off the Hanley Tigers 46-35 on their home field on Nov. 11.

Rebels head coach Travis Flahr was really pleased to see his team come out victorious, noting it “sounds pretty good” to hear his team referred to as 2017 provincial champions.

“It’s a pretty good feeling when you set a goal and you work hard for two and a half months putting hours in and you achieve your goal. So happy for the boys to know that their hard work had paid off.”

The game did not get off to the greatest of starts for the Rebels as they gave up a touchdown on the first possession of the game and found themselves down 11-0 in the first quarter.

The Rebels managed to score their first major of the game, approximately a minute later to cut the deficit to 11-8 at the end of the first quarter.

That touchdown was a turning point in the contest for the Rebels, noted Flahr, who said it allowed his offense to be more free.

“A little bit of a light switch went on for they boys… we can score on these guys, we don’t have to be tentative or afraid and just do the things we’ve done all year to get us here and let the nerves go away and just play football.”

The Rebels used their new found confidence to their advantage as they piled up two more quick

touchdowns to take a commanding 24-11 lead midway through the second quarter.

The Tigers would not go away however, as they scored their second major of the contest to cut the Rebels’ lead to five points.

A late Rebels touchdown, with ten second left before halftime, restored their 13 point lead, as they took a 32-19 lead into the half.

Despite the solid effort from the first half, Flahr said the message at halftime was to keep going, noting the week prior they nearly blew 32-8 lead against Plenty in the second half.

“That was just kind of a learning piece and that was the message against Hanley in the second half. We can’t sit on this 13 point lead we need to go out and keep scoring, we need to go out and finish the game.”

The Rebels players took the message to heart as they came out of halftime and scored their fourth touchdown of the game to take a 40-19 lead.

The game remained that way into the fourth quarter, when the Tigers again pushed back.

They scored their first touchdown of the second half early in the fourth quarter, then recovered a short kick and scored again to cut the Rebels’ lead from 40-19 to 40-35.

Despite the quick turnaround, the Rebels refused to quit and scored another touchdown to extend their lead to 46-35.

The game remained that way until the final whistle, as the Rebels hung on for the 11 point win.

Despite winning by 11, and holding a 21 point lead earlier in the second half, Flahr noted the game never felt like it was in hand.

“The score always seemed tighter than actually what it was. It was right down to the wire, tight scoring, tight finish and really didn’t know we were going to win until the clock had less than 20 seconds left on it.”

Flahr gives the Tigers a ton of credit for that noting they never quit.

“They’re a well coached team, they’ve been in the big games before so the kids knew how to battle.”

Seeing the Rebel players overcome both an 11 point first quarter deficit and the adversity after the Tigers scored twice to cut the lead to five, was great, says Flahr.

It says a lot about their character that they were able to stick with it, says Flahr, despite things not always going their way.

“It says a lot about their character and their ability to trust in themselves and trust in each other about what they’ve learned and what they worked so hard on,” says Flahr.

“It’s not just one year for a lot of these boys, it’s been four years of senior football but probably three years of junior football before that where they’ve been

honing their skills.”

The win capped off a perfect season for the Rebels as they finished the year with a record of 9-0, outscoring their opposition 490-149 in the process, including 324-42 during a perfect 6-0 regular season.

With such a dominant regular season under their belt, which included two shutouts, and no game closer than 26 points, Flahr admitted there was some nervousness heading into provincials, given that the players did not face much adversity during the regular season.

“That’s something that you can talk about all you want in a dressing room or on the practice field but that’s not something you can emulate in a practice… it’s just something that you keep talking about, you keep coaching the boys and you just hope that there’s enough experience there that they’re able to respond well to it.”

Thanks to their perfect record and provincial title, the Rebels achieved both goals the team set out to achieve before the season, noting that they knew coming into the season that they had a solid team.

The drive to the provincial title, did not start this season though, says Flahr, who notes it actually started at the end of last season with their loss to Plenty in the provincial quarterfinals.

“We had a bit of unfinished business because we felt we could have won that game. We felt we didn’t play our best game as our last game of the year last year so we were motivated by that loss a little bit.”

The win was the Rebels’ second provincial title in three seasons, and improved their three year record to 25-2, which is huge for their program, notes Flahr, who says “success builds success.”

“There’s just an expectation that if you’re going to play football in Raymore that you’re going to win games and the kids, they understand the work ethic that it takes.”

A lot of the success over the last couple of years comes from the veteran players on the team, says Flahr, who notes they do a great job helping out the younger players, who may not see a lot of playing time but are still a vital part of the program.

“They’re an invaluable part of the team, especially during practice being able to run other teams’ offense and defense against us and just getting ready.”

The Rebels will have to reload to get ready for next season with eight grade 12 students graduating in the spring.

Despite the loss, Flahr notes he still expects his team to be competitive, but says given the uncertainty of six-man high school football he does not know exactly where his team will wind up next season.

“Whether or not we’re going to have a repeat season of this year will be determined on the field but I definitely see us as a competitive team.”

FUN theReview

Your Active Guide to Winter New equipment means big things for Carlton Trail Ski Club

By Christopher Lee • East Central Trader With snow flying members of the Carlton Trail Ski Club are excited to get the cross-country skiing season started.

But the club has more to be excited for than just the beginning of the latest skiing season as they have purchased some new trail maintenance equipment.

The equipment, which includes a roller, packer, renovator, groomer, and track setter, cost the club approximately $11,000.

The club was able to purchase the equipment with the help of money raised through both membership fees, and fundraisers, as well as through grants.

Brad Lefebvre, with Carlton Trail Ski Club, noted that the need for new equipment came after some of the members noticed conditions on the trails in Humboldt

were, “considerably different” from what they were experiencing at other clubs.

“So in order to keep up with neighboring clubs and with the wants of skiers throughout the province, we just thought it was time that we had to get some better equipment to allow us to pack and groom and set better trails.”

In addition to providing terrific classic ski trails, Lefebvre notes the new equipment will also be capable of producing some skate ski trails as well.

“We have had skate ski trails but this will allow us to make them way better than they have been in the past as far as packing them and maintaining snow.”

It should also help create a better base, notes Lefebvre, who says that will help the club keep the trails open

longer.

“Once you pack the snow you can keep it for a lot longer and it won’t blow away on you so easy. So if you get a good base of snow right away in the fall, which this year we’ve been able to start with, you can keep your trails and you can use your trails lots longer.”

Lefebvre notes the new equipment is the same equipment used in the Olympics so it should provide excellent trails, and says he hopes this will help increase their membership numbers.

He hopes to see skiers from all over the province coming to use the trails.

“It’ll be a real boon to our club to have it and it’ll carry us well into the future for many years as far as having some excellent quality trails.”

In addition to hoping to

see more skiers use the course for their own personal use, Lefebvre says he expects the new equipment will also help bring more provincial ski events to Humboldt.

The roller has been ordered and received and has been used on the trails at the golf course already, says Lefevbre, who notes that the main groomer, has been ordered and is expected to arrive in the next couple of weeks.

Despite not having the groomer yet, Lefebvre notes the trails at the golf course are in “very good” shape already this year.

“The depth isn’t the greatest yet but for this time of year it’s actually very good.

I don’t think last year we had any snow until after the new year… but this year we’ve had lots of people skiing out

there.”

All of the trails at the golf course are now open, but Lefevbre notes due to hunting season they will not be able to open up the trails in Dixon until after the end of hunting season at the beginning of December.

“The trails will hopefully be up and running by the middle of December out at Dixon.”

The new equipment will be pulled by snow machines, says Lefevbre, who notes that they will be using the roller at the golf course, while the main groomer will be used on the trails in Dixon.

L e f e b v re e n c o u r a g e s anyone interested in cross country skiing to check out the trails, and says anyone interested is encouraged to look into purchasing a membership.

Kubota to the rescue at the Humboldt Fire Department

By Becky Zimmer â&#x20AC;˘ East Central Trader While Fire Chief Mike Kwasnica with the Humboldt Fire Department is hoping that everyone is going to be safe this winter season, in case of off-road emergencies the department is prepared with their Kubota machine.

Whether the emergency is ATV or snowmobile related, a grass fire, water rescue, or a search and rescue, the Kubota is able to go anywhere fire trucks, ambulances, or police cars cannot.

This is one of the reasons the Kubota was fundraised for by the Humboldt Fire Department with contributions from the Humboldt Ambulance Service and Humboldt RCMP. With a heated cab, which is great for winter, track system that can go through snow and mud, a 75 gallon tank, 100 feet of hose, and a stretcher mount, the Humboldt Fire Department is ready for any emergency that comes their way.

While Kwasnica is seeing more

and more departments with Kubota machines, many of them do not have the track system which adds a level of versatility, especially for rural Saskatchewan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very versatile vehicle. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a fast vehicle but it goes pretty much anywhere we need it to go.â&#x20AC;?

Whether it is winter or summer, ATVs are a popular machine that people use either as a recreational unit or for work around farms and ranches. And during the winter there are plenty of snowmobiles out taking advantage of the snow.

These machines are also get-

ting bigger and more powerful, which is all the more reason for departments to be prepared for off road rescues, says Kwasnica. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hear about it way too often that these machines are getting bigger, faster, and with that comes more serious injuries.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prepared to go whether we need to or not.â&#x20AC;?

With space for three members, whether they be RCMP, Fire or Ambulance in the cab and another belted seat in the back of the unit.

In response to a recent ATV rollover, Kwasnica says they had a firefighter driving along with two ambulance personnel and while it was a little snug, they made it work and were able to bring back the injured person.

Whatever happens, the Humboldt Fire Department, along with any other local teams that may need it, is ready to go for off-road emergencies.

Be safe while shovelling

By Becky Zimmer • East Central Trader Winter is here and with it already has been lots of snow.

With snow comes shovelling and keeping sidewalks and driveways clear.

But shovelling is hard work and can be hard on people who are not used to it.

We may not expect it but shovelling can be dangerous.

In the United States, 1,640 snow-shovelling deaths are reported each year.

When it comes to safe shovelling, shovellers should recognize three important safety tips to remember when shovelling to prevent injuries.

Use proper technique: Using proper bending, lifting, and twisting techniques are the first steps of preventing injury through shovelling.

Bending at the knees are important to prevent muscle strains, says Dave Mortensen with the Humboldt and District Ambulance Service.

“Overexertion on the muscles causes strain and discomfort so take regular breaks if there is a lot of snow that day to shovel.”

Doug Usher, Occupational Therapist with the Saskatoon Health Region says choosing a lightweight shovel, as much as is reasonable, works well to cut back on shoveling strain. Making sure the shovel is the right size for your body is also an important factor to think about.

“It should be at minimum, with your arms at your sides, be up to your elbows and preferably a little higher than that.”

The bent handle shovels are also a good option when it comes to shovelling. Even if they take a little getting used to, they are ergonomically correct, says Usher.

Pushing snow is a better technique than lifting until you absolutely have to do so.

“A lift is going to be very dependant on how heavy the snow is, muscle strength and cardiovascular endurance. The recommendation is no more than 10-15 pick up and shovel lifts per minute.”

When you do have to lift, make sure not to over extend in the twist action, says Usher.

“Try not to get into situations where your shovel is going outside your base of support in front of you.”

When moving snow to the side, any more than 45 degrees is too much so adjusting your feet instead of over extending your twist will put less

strain on your back.

Recognize the signs: We do not suspect shovelling to be this dangerous but that is why we tend to overexert ourselves.

Daphne Kemp, Regional Fall Reduction and Injury Prevention Coordinator with the Saskatoon Health Region says that especially in older adults, overexertion is a problem so do not be afraid to get a snow shovelling partner if not someone who is willing to do it for them.

Especially after big storms, taking frequent breaks are important to keeping away from overCanadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety - The important features of a shovel: Weight: should be light weight but sturdy - about 1.5 kg (a little over 3 lbs).

Length: the handle reach the user’s chest to reduce the amount of forward bending.

Shaft type: shafts with a bend (versus a straight style) may be easier on your lower back when used correctly.

Handle type: typically have a “D” shaped

Scenic and unique highlight of the trail is the snowmobile crossing on the Francois Findlay Hydro Electric Dam. The Nipawin area trails are an integral part of the Trans Canadian Snowmobile Trail system. Visit website for snow conditions and downloadable trail maps.

handle. Be sure the handle type does not force the wrist into awkward positions.

Blade size/shape: choose the style that best matches the exact task. For example, a large push-style shovel will move large amounts of snow, but may result in lifting too much weight. A smaller blade shovel (25 to 35 cm or about 10-14 in) should be used for lifting and throwing snow. The smaller blade will decrease the weight that is lifted and decrease the risk of injury.

exertion, both on the heart and on other muscles in the body.

Mortensen says to know the signs of a cardiac episode and if pain does not subside, a visit to the doctor can be necessary.

Listening to the signs the body is trying to give you is important but shovellers have to make sure they act on them as well by taking a break when the body is telling them to.

Practice fall prevention: Falls do not discriminate, says Kemp and when shovelling snow, there is always the possibility of ice underneath.

During shovelling, proper footwear with good tread is going to help prevent falling while shovelling. Function over fashion, says Kemp.

Staying hydrated is another factor in fall prevention since dehydration can cause dizziness which can lead to falls.

It takes time for our eyes to adjust to the bright snow, even longer in older adults, so clearing any small chunks or bits of ice is also important since shovellers do not want to create even more tripping hazards, says Kemp.

With this just being the beginning of the winter snow fall, be sure to practice safe shovelling.

And when you can, be sure to help out your neighbours.

Being safe on your snowmobile

By Christopher Lee â&#x20AC;˘ East Central Trader With the weather turning colder and snow falling from the sky, snowmobilers will be out in full force, but there are a number of things riders should know before heading out on a ride.

Riders are required to hold valid registration, and since snowmobiling is a dangerous activity, riders are using the trails at their own risk.

The Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association notes that snowmobiling is an off-road activity, which takes place in an unpredictable natural environment, and riders need to know their route, and being careful while riding.

Riders are expected not to consume alcohol prior to or while riding their snowmobile, and are expected to ride their machine with appropriate care and control at all times.

The maximum speed limit on trails is 80 km/h, and as the SSA

notes, routes can become altered with weather, so riding at a safe speed is imperative.

There are a number of things riders should do before heading out on a ride, notes the SSA, including making sure riders are dressed for the weather, making sure their snowmobile is properly serviced, and making sure riders know the route and the conditions, among a number of others.

Being warm is one of the most important aspects of going for a ride and the SSA encourages riders to bundle up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wear a balaclava (nylon, fleece or wool), snowmobile gloves, mitts, pants, jacket or one-piece snowmobile suit, boots and heavy outdoor socks. Buy the warmest gear available; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pinch pennies on snowmobile clothing and accessories.â&#x20AC;?

It is also important to wear a

proper helmet, and the SSA encouraged riders to wear an approved helmet with a face shield without cracks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Open face and closed face helmets are available. Electric face shields are available and will not fog.â&#x20AC;?

Another important piece of clothing the SSA encourages riders to wear is a wrist mirror. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an excellent safety device which enables you to check behind you without turning your body and causing your sled to swerve.â&#x20AC;?

While snowmobiling can be a dangerous activity, it is made much safer if riders use caution.

Some of the things riders should not do, while on their sled include riding if the temperature is below -25, riding alone, drinking, and using excessive speed.

Snowmobile maintenance can go a long way in making sure riders

are safe on their sled, with the SSA noting that riders should look over their snowmobile often, but should only make adjustments to the sled if they are capable of doing so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You should not make adjustments which could endanger you and others when you are riding.

Once you make an adjustment on your snowmobile, remember to check it periodically throughout the season.â&#x20AC;?

According to SGI the province contains 10,000 km of groomed trails, and features a number of snowmobile clubs who are members of the SSA including Archerwill, Kelvington, Nipawin, Melfort, Hudson Bay, Naicam, Arborfield, Porcupine Plain, Quill Lake, Wynyard, Star City, and Tisdale, among others.

So get out and ride this winter season, but remember to do so safely.

Tisdale will once again host a major curling championship.

The Affinity Credit Union Joint Senior Provincials will be held at the Tisdale Curling Rink Feb. 20 to 25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were approached by CurlSask because we had hosted the [menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s] tankard last year and they approached us to see if we would entertain having it here,â&#x20AC;? said Bob Jackson, the chair of the organizing committee.

That was done in the early summer. The curling club met and decided to move ahead.

Jackson said the curling club was quite honoured to be asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a pretty good job with the last two that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had here: the [womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s] Scotties [provincials] and the tankard last year.

I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be fine.â&#x20AC;?

There will be 16 teams competing for the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior curling title. Half will be men and half will be women.

The eight menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams will be selected through a northern qualifier in Unity and a southern qualifier in Melville Feb. 9 to 11. The eight womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams will be selected through three qualifying bonspiels: one in Saskatoon Dec. 8 to 10, one in Moose Jaw Jan. 19 to 21 and one

in Yorkton Feb. 9 to 11.

The plan is for three draws each on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and two on Saturday and Sunday, with tiebreakers added in as necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thursday evening, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a banquet,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a prime rib, full course banquet with entertainment, a magician.â&#x20AC;?

The magician will be a name familiar to Tisdale residents: Chester McBain, who was once an economic development officer for the town.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also plans to have a patch in the Tisdale RECplexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hanover room for those wanting to party.

While the plans arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t firmed up yet, the committee is looking at having it open on Friday and Saturday evening.

The committee is now trying to wrap up getting sponsorships from local business and getting some volunteers for the big week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can never have too many,â&#x20AC;?

Jackson said, who added those interested can contact him at 306873-9227.

The chair also emphasized that for the provincials to be a success, people are going to have to show up to watch the proceedings.

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

It was a first for the Louisiana Hayride crew when they came out to Humboldt for their June 10 show this past summer.

All the more reason for them to make a second 2017 Humboldt stop for their Louisiana Hayride Christmas Show on Dec 14. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because we enjoyed Humboldt so much last time, we figured it would be good to bring our Christmas show. People would already be familiar with what Louisiana Hayride is,â&#x20AC;? says Hayride band founder, Lori Risling.

The tribute program honours the many classic country singers of the 50s and 60s who made their start on the Louisiana Hayride and who went on to influence country stars of the 80s and 90s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hank Williams has promised to show up and be on his best behavior for this special show and will be singing one of his big hits. Always a favorite, Patsy Cline will be there with her signature song, Crazy as well as one of her favorite Christmas songs,â&#x20AC;? said Risling in a press release.

As well as these two big name stars, Risling says they will also pay tribute to stars like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Roy Orbison, and George Jones, as well as Garth Brooks and Shania Twain.

The Christmas show will include a mix of traditional Christmas carols and fun Christmas songs, along with their traditional Louisiana Hayride show that people see featuring the diverse cast of country stars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This show will take you on a magical Christmas journey, a delight from start to finish. You will love the songs, you will love the stories,â&#x20AC;? said Risling in a press release.

Along with Humboldt, the Hayride will make stops in Regina, Saskatoon, and Melfort.

The Christmas show has been a hit in recent stops in British Columbia and Risling says they are excited to bring it to Saskatchewan, despite having to endure winter driving in Saskatchewan.

Considering the reception the band received during the summer concert tour, Risling says that makes them want to come back to Saskatchewan with the Christmas show, even with the cold weather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good positive experience for us, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always looking to come back.â&#x20AC;?

The band started in the Okanagan and have spent the last eight years touring Western Canada.

Union Duke kicks off Watrous concert series Union Duke brought their folk-rock sound to Watrous on Nov. 17 to kick off the first of five concerts for the Watrous Area Arts Council’s 2017-2018 Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils concert series. Union Duke wrapped up 11 OSAC shows with a performance in Shaunavon on Nov. 18 before continuing on with their own tour with shows in Alberta before heading back to Toronto.

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

It was a lively night for the Watrous and Area Arts Council as they kicked off their 2017-2018 Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils (OSAC) concert series with Toronto Folk Rock group, Union Duke.

The Toronto based band booked 12 shows with OSAC with eleven in the books and Watrous being their second last show before heading to play in Alberta and then back to Ontario.

All in all it was a pretty great trip, says multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Matt Warry-Smith.

“For the most part it’s just been hanging out, and playing tunes, and meeting people. It’s been fun.”

With the five member band used to spending time touring in a van, the drive from Toronto was no problem at all with shows throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan for five and a half weeks of touring.

“We make the best of it. We work out when we can in hotel rooms and try to get along and play a lot of tunes,” says Warry-Smith.

While it is a challenge to keep a semblance of a normal life, especially when it comes to eating healthy and working out, the guys are filling their time, says Warry-Smith.

They are doing well in finding their own fun, he says, shooting hoops at local community centres and finding rinks where two of the guys can use their shinny gear.

Richardson is committed to bringing quality ingredients to the table.

“It’s just about trying to fill those hours with something fun that’s worthwhile and then going to do the show.”

For all the open doors and home cooked food, Warry-Smith says the band is grateful for the warm hospitality they have received all along this trip.

When it comes to touring as a folk group, organizations like OSAC and similar groups across the country make it easy for bands, like Union Duke, to find gigs on the road.

“If there’s a gig somewhere and they want to pay us money and they want to bring us in and there’s a built in crowd of people who will come out to the show, we’ll almost always say yes.”

For those leaving a Union Duke show, they also always want people to say they had a good time enjoying high-energy folk rock with heavy country bluegrass influences.

Laura Foulds with the Watrous and Area Arts Council says around 120 people took in the show and enjoyed what was certainly a high energy show.

“Even the songs that were love songs were at a fast pace so there was only a couple songs that were a little slower.”

Union Duke will be wrapping up their OSAC shows in April with a show in Swift Current.

The Watrous OSAC concert series continues with their next show in January.

Remembering MLA Kevin Phillips: Legacies include domestic violence shelter, Kerry Vickar Centre

By Devan C. Tasa For the Humboldt Journal

Kevin Phillips was a newspaper publisher, mayor, MLA, and family man.

Phillips passed away unexpectedly on Nov. 13 at the age of 63.

If there is one legacy he will be remembered for, it will be his work in securing a domestic violence shelter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kevin was a very integral part of working with us as an organization to lobby the government for the dollars and proving the need to the government for the dollars that were required for this facility to happen,â&#x20AC;? said Louise Schweitzer, the executive director of the North East Outreach and Support Services, which operates the shelter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kevin worked alongside of us to make that happen. He saw the need and brought that forward as a definite need for his constituency.â&#x20AC;?

Schweitzer said that Phillips would attend every Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, an annual charity event where men walk in red high heels for the purpose of raising money for North East Outreach â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even if injuries prevented him from participating. He was also instrumental in bringing the red shoes for two events in the legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rotunda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kevin was a friend of domestic violence advocacy,â&#x20AC;? Schweitzer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a strong voice that spoke out for the victims. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a large loss for us personally, for us as an organization and for all of the victims that come through our doors.â&#x20AC;?

Yet the shelter is not his only legacy.

Rick Lang, Melfortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor, said another legacy was the Kerry Vickar Centre, which had its final planning stages and construction begin during Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tenure as mayor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that it is the facility that it

The shelter, which Phillips lobbied heavily for, was the first to open in the province since 1989. photo by Devan C. Tasa is; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-planned, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-used, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a crown jewel in the city of Melfort as far the City of Melfortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facilities go,â&#x20AC;? Lang said, adding itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comparable to similar facilities in larger cities.

Lang said Phillips will also be remembered for the type of man he was. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the other things heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be remembered for is his mannerisms. He was very easygoing, very well-liked,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even when things werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

going well, he always presented himself very well and people were attracted to that and they liked that aspect of his personality. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to replicate, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s genuine.â&#x20AC;?

The City of Melfort had a memorial book at city hall. Lang said it would take a while for people to sign it because they were leaving long comments.

Fred Bradshaw, the MLA of Carrot River Valley, the constituency next to Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, said the sudden passing was a shock to the close-knit members of the legislature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re totally devastated at losing a member like that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It totally shocked everyone around the building.â&#x20AC;?

Bradshaw remembered Phillips as a community-minded person. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kevin was very supportive of northeast Saskatchewan and both of us agreed that be it in his constituency or my constituency, if things were happening, it was good for the whole of the Northeast and, as a result, the province as a whole.â&#x20AC;?

Bradshaw also remembered how Phillips loved his family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He often talked about April, his wife. He was a real family person,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a lot of respect for April, his kids and his grandkids.â&#x20AC;?

The MLA also recalled how Phillips would be able to research and find out information no one else could. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every now and then, he would look up some statistic and he would come with some numbers nobody else could come up with,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He would actually figure out all of the numbers right down to a tee and you never questioned him on it because he was right.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to miss him deeply. He was good at his job.â&#x20AC;?

Quill Lake shakes, rattles, and rolls for new fire truck Sandy Ingram and Janel Marshall were more than willing to shake a leg to the Fifties Show Party Band at the fifth annual Wine, Scotch, and Spirits: Shake, Rattle, and Roll event.

The drinks were flowing and the joint was hopping in Quill Lake during the fifth annual Wine, Scotch, and Spirits: Shake, Rattle, and Roll event on Nov. 18.

Trisha Vigoren with the organizing committee says around 200 tickets were sold with 11 tasting tables sponsored by local businesses and 55 silent auction items.

This year’s theme was the 1950s and people took advantage of that with poddle skirts, polka dots, and saddle shoes.

Themes have been a big hit over the years with previous events including a western theme and a gala evening.

Everyone was having a great time, says Vigoren, with money going to a good cause; the Quill Lake Fire Department and a new fire truck.

Sponsorship was through the roof with even a trip to Nashville up for grabs.

“It’s overwhelming the support we have,” says Vigoren, “from volunteers and sponsors in and around our community. The event wouldn’t happen without them.”

Ten people made up the organizing committee but the number of volunteers manning tables and decorating is beyond counting, says Vigoren. Members of the Quill Lakes Fire Department also volunteered to sling drinks for the night.

Successful fundraiser for farming friends

Members of Farming with Friends got to distribute their 2017 fundraising efforts with $45,000 going to LeRoy Leisureland and $200,000 going to the LeRoy Community Centre. Together, 15 volunteers seeded and harvested 770 acres of canola for their 2017 fundraiser.

Farming with Friends distributed their fundraising efforts from 2017 with donations of $45,000 to LeRoy Leisureland and $200,000 to the LeRoy Community Centre.

The 770 acre canola crop yielded 45 bushels per acre with BHP Billiton land being seeded for the project.

Elaine Cales of Friends with Farming said it was a great arrangement with the land having to be maintained anyway.

“We spoke to them about renting some land that they bought from the farmers. They said, yeah, it would be good if somebody was farming it because they would have to maintain it somehow.”

The initiative started around 10 years ago with the project renting land to farm in order to raise money for 16 ECT Friday, November 24, 2017

LeRoy Leisureland.

Since the destruction of the LeRoy Arena, the new community centre has also received funds from the project.

Over the last five years, the Farming with Friends campaign has raised $264,250 for the LeRoy Leisureland and $490,000 for the LeRoy Community Centre.

Cales says about 15 local volunteers put in the time, equipment, and energy in the field this year for the fundraiser.

It is the determination of the farmers which is keeping the project going, says Cales with plenty of support from local people.

“There’s probably around 10 farmers with their equipment that do seeding and spraying. When it’s harvest time you get six or seven combines with the truckers.”

The land is available to continue with the fundraiser next year, says Cales.

Local quintet win provincial medals Continued from page 17 The Warriors quickly put the disappointment of missing out on top seed in their pool behind them as they rolled to a two sets to none win.

The Warriors kept that momentum rolling in the semi-finals as they knocked off Carlyle two sets to none.

The win moved the Warriors into the championship final, where they took on Foam Lake, who they beat earlier in the tournament, but stole their number one seed.

The Warriors continued their strong play in the championship final as they pulled out a three set nail biter two sets to one.

The Warriors now turn their attention to next season as they aim for their third provincial gold in four years, and their fourth provincial final in five years.

The Golden Bears meanwhile, captured the provincial bronze medal after posting a record of 5-2.

The Bears rolled through the early portion of the tournament as they knocked off Rocanville, and St. Walburg two sets to none each before beating Watrous two sets to one.

The 3-0 record left the Golden Bears needing a win in their final round robin contest against Carlyle to win their pool.

Unfortunately for the Golden Bears they were unable to pull out the win as they fell two sets to one.

The loss left the Golden Bears in second in their pool and saw them matchup against Rocanville in the semi-final.

After sending Rocanville home early thanks to a two sets to none win, the Bears’ run to the provincial title was stopped in the semi-final as they fell two sets to one against Foam Lake.

Despite the loss the Golden Bears still had a chance at the bronze medal as they took on Carlyle in the third place game as they looked for revenge after losing to Carlyle in their final round robin match.

The Bears cruised to a two sets to none win over Carlyle for their second straight provincial bronze, and third straight provincial medal after finishing second in 2015.

The Bears will now turn their attention to next season as they look to win their fourth straight provincial medal.

Boys Teams at Regionals 1A East Regional @ Middle Lake A pair of local schools are provincial bound after the Middle Lake Avengers captured the regional title and the Annaheim Rebels claimed the regional bronze.

The Avengers rolled through the tournament with a perfect 4-0 record, not losing a set along the way.

The Avengers kicked off the tournament with a perfect round robin as they knocked off Englefeld two sets to none, and Cowessess two sets to none.

Thanks to their two wins the Avengers claimed top spot in their pool and moved into the semi-finals where they took on the second seed from the other pool, Annaheim.

The semi-final followed a similar script to their two previous matches as the Avengers won their third straight match of the tournament two sets to none.

The win moved the Avengers into the regional final where they took on Bellevue.

The win earned the Avengers the first of three available spots at regionals.

After Bellevue claimed the second provincial spot, the Annaheim Rebels booked the third and final provincial berth with a win in the third place game against Cowessess two sets to none.

The Rebels enjoyed an up and down tournament as they split their round robin matches, knocking off Stoughton two sets to none before losing to Bellevue two sets to one.

The 1-1 record left the Rebels as the second seed in their pool and matched them up against the top seed from the other pool Middle Lake.

The Rebels went on to lose the match two sets to none, before rebounding against Cowessess in the regional bronze medal final.

Thanks to their wins the Avengers and Rebels now turn their attention to the provincial championships Nov. 24-25 in Avonlea and Rouleau, with the two teams drawn in Pool B with Mossbank, Maidstone,

VEN DER BUHS: Anita Oct. 24, 1943 - Nov. 7, 2017 Anita (nee Plemel) ven der Buhs of the Englefeld District, SK, passed away on Tuesday, November 7, 2017, at Royal University Hospital, Saskatoon.

She was 74 years of age. Anita was born on October 24, 1943, in St. Elizabethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, Humboldt, SK, to Alois and Elizabeth (nee Crone) Plemel.

She was raised on a farm near St. Gregor and attended Diamond Willow and St. Gregor schools. After the closing of St. Gregor School, Anita went to Englefeld School where she met the love of her life, Bernie, in Grade 11. They began to â&#x20AC;&#x153;go steadyâ&#x20AC;? and were thrilled to be each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prom date. Anita had one sister, Mary Lee, and growing up they graciously shared the Plemel family home with many many foster children over the years. After graduating from Englefeld, Anita proudly went straight into nursing schooling at St. Elizabethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital in Humboldt. During that time, she made many lifelong friends who were very dear to her, and she greatly looked forward to the nursing reunion trips and gatherings they shared. Bernie and Anita were married on October 23, 1965.

Shortly after their marriage, they took over the ven der Buhs homestead where they enjoyed their 52 years of marriage. They were blessed with three boys and one girl. Anita continued to work as a nurse for several years up until her retirement. She was a proud cancer survivor of 14 years. Anita enjoyed many outdoor adventures over the years as Bernie took her along hunting in the north and south, as well as travelling to British Columbia, Alaska, and many other scenic adventures with family and friends. They enjoyed the winter trips snowmobiling to Barrier Lake and the hunting cabins. Anita greatly enjoyed her many years at Barrier and treasured her visits of those who gathered there. In later years, over the winter, she graciously waited for spring to come so they could return to their lake retreat. Anita loved being toured around by Bernie, Nicholas, and Sidney, and getting excursions of the farm, garden and continuous updates on horses, kittens, and yard projects they were building. Anita prepared endless meals and canned goods, and she and Bernie would enjoy spending days and hours preparing cakes, pies and freezer meals for those who would visit. She looked forward to and was a devoted attendee at the many events her grandchildren participated in. As well, she was a dedicated Blue Jay and Saskatchewan Roughrider fan, and seldom missed a game. In the past few years, as she found it more difficult to travel, she found great comfort and was very grateful to those who would visit to share in laughs and memories, and a glass of grandpaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homemade wine. Anita was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, nurse and friend. We will miss her gifts of meals, guidance and love, but peace and freedom has finally been gifted to her. May you walk through the fields of gardens and flowers and feel all the love we have to offer you. Anita will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her husband of 52 years, Bernie; three sons, one daughter and their families: Randolph (Koren) and daughter, Caitlin; Lloyd and children, Nathan, Christopher and Chelsea; Glen (Rosalie) and children, Nicholas and Sidney; and Jane (Jeff Reynolds); and by her sister, Mary Lee Plemel (Terry Rock) and family. She was predeceased by her parents, Alois and Elizabeth (nee Crone) Plemel. The Funeral Mass was celebrated at Holy Guardian Angels R.C. Church, Englefeld, on Sunday, November 12, 2017, at 2:00 p.m., presided by Fr. Francis Akomeah. Others taking part were: Nicholas ven der Buhs, crossbearer; Taevan Athmer and Royce Moellenbeck, altar servers; Rosalie ven der Buhs and Mary Lee Plemel, scripture readers; Caitlin ven der Buhs and Chelsea ven der Buhs, giftbearers; Donald Plemel, intentions; Sidney ven der Buhs and Danielle ven der Buhs, memorial table attendants; Marie ven der Buhs, eulogist; Glen and Rosalie ven der Buhs, urnbearers. Music ministry was provided by pianist Sandra Athmer, and members of Holy Guardian Angels R. C. Church Choir.

LUEKE: Herman Ambrose Jul. 13, 1928 - Nov. 10, 2017 Herman Ambrose Lueke of Caleb Village, Humboldt, SK, passed away at Humboldt District Hospital on Friday, November 10, 2017. He was 89 years of age. Herman, the eighth of 13 children, was born on July 13, 1928, to Herman Sr. and Clementina (nee Duerr) Lueke at home on their farm in the Willmont district, five miles west of Fulda, SK. He was raised there and attended Keller School. After completing Grade 9, Herman helped run the Lueke familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business, H. J. Lueke General Store which also included the post office, and also worked on the family farm, which he much preferred. However, in 1947, he and his brother Art took over the store operation. As well, they did a lot of custom grain hauling, and until 1982, delivered bulk fuel to farmers.

On July 2, 1951, he married Edna Renneberg in St. Benedict.

Their union was blessed with four children, two sons and two daughters. In January 1952, Herman bought Artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of the store, and also continued with various side lines. An active member of the community, Herman served as a school trustee, parish secretary, board member for the Fulda Community Centre, provided maintenance for the hall, made curling ice, and tended to the Fulda water plant. In Humboldt, Herman was a member of the Knights of Columbus. In his â&#x20AC;&#x153;leisure timeâ&#x20AC;?, he enjoyed wood working projects, such as making purple martin houses and refinishing furniture, curling, golfing, fishing, playing slow pitch, going for Sunday drives, and in his younger years, playing baseball. Travelling with Edna to Barbados, Germany, Arizona, California, Florida, and Vancouver Island were highlights in his life. Herman was known as a humble and kind person, and a man of deep faith. He was always willing to help anyone, no matter what the task - and always with enthusiasm! No doubt his grandchildren and great-grandchildren will still smile when they recall how he taught them to make funny faces, and how much he too, loved ice cream. Right to the end, Herman remained active, going for his daily walk. It was so fitting that he passed away doing what he loved best - walking to St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Villa to spend time with his beloved wife. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well done, good and faithful servantâ&#x20AC;?. (Matthew 25:21) Herman will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 66 years, EDNA (nee Renneberg) Lueke; four children, 11 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild: MURRAY (Val) Lueke and family: Hayley Toth and children Paul and Ellie, and Gillian Lueke; KATHLEEN (Dude) Kerley and family, Bryce Kerley, Scott (Lydia) Kerley and son Eli, and Ross (Stephanie) Kerley; SHIRLEY Wright and family, Chad (Marcia) Wright and family, Trent (Stormie) Wright and son Wyatt, Trevor Wright, Tihanna Wright, and Terena Wright, Jason Wright, Lindsay Wright and children Nolan, Paige and Jase; and FLOYD (Elaine) Lueke and family, Derek (Arianne) Lueke, Teri (J.R.) Tarrant and daughter Zoey, and Morgan Lueke (Liam Duffley); two brothers and two sisters: Clarence Lueke, Francis Lueke, Bernice Becker, and Dolores Beuker; and by numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father, Herman Lueke (1982); mother, Clementina (nee Duerr) Lueke (1987); and by five sisters and three brothers: Florence Bowering, Anne Reinhart, Caroline and Loretta Lueke (both in childhood), Marcellus Lueke, Arthur Lueke, Marianne Steiner, and Donald Lueke. The Funeral Mass was celebrated at St. Augustine R.C. Church, Humboldt, on Wednesday, November 15, 2017, at 10:00 a.m., presided by Fr. Michael Yaremko. Others taking part were: Arianne Lueke, crossbearer; Joanne Buhs and Jerome Renneberg, scripture readers; Terry Struck, intentions; Lyle and Cheryl Lepsenyi, giftbearers; Sandy Lueke and Auralee Leadbeater, memorial table attendants; and Murray Lueke, eulogist. Music ministry was provided by director Loretta Schugmann, organist Marie Aubin, and members of the St. Augustine Parish Funeral Choir. An honor guard was formed by members of the Knights of Columbus. Honorary pallbearers were Scott Kerley, Jason Wright, Lindsay Wright, and Hayley Toth. Active pallbearers were Chad Wright, Bryce Kerley, Ross Kerley, Derek Lueke, J.R. Tarrant, Teri Tarrant, Morgan Lueke, and Gillian Lueke.

Interment followed at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s R.C. Cemetery, Fulda. Memorial donations may be directed to either the St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Villa Foundation or the Fulda Hall. Schuler-Lefebvre Funeral Chapel, Humboldt, SK.

Obituaries CROWTER: Valerie Lynn (nee Graf)

Jun. 21, 1954 - Nov. 9, 2017 Valerie Lynn (nee Graf) Crowter of LeRoy, SK, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 9, 2017, at Humboldt District Hospital, Humboldt, SK, with her loving husband at her side. She was 63 years of age.

Val was born on June 21, 1954, in Humboldt to Thomas and Ida (nee Wilkie) Graf. She grew up on a farm in the Lucasville district north of Viscount. Val attained her formal education at Lucasville, Meacham and Viscount schools. On March 17, 1979, she married Ken Crowter. They moved to LeRoy and soon after Michael was born, a little brother for Jason and Trayton. Val was a very dedicated and active wife and mother. She was a great cook, but often struggled with her momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipes.

Grandma Graf did most of her baking by feel. Val was always getting recipes from family and friends and would make notes on the cards ... such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;everyone liked this oneâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;this is goodâ&#x20AC;?.

The boys would often complain that they could not play on the ping pong table, as it was covered with patterns and material.

Mom was into another sewing project. Val loved gardening, going for walks, drives in the country with Ken looking for wildlife, and doing crafts - especially ceramics and crocheting. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs adorned her momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flowerbed.

Crocheted snowflakes, bells and stockings hung on the Christmas tree, along with cute little ceramic mice. Flower baskets were made for everyone. Val enjoyed reading - a love that was passed on to her son, Jason. There was many a dog-eared romance novel that fell into the bathtub. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to be bothered then; this was her quiet time. As the years flew by, her health declined. A good game of scrabble or rummy was the order of the day. Visitors admired her courage and faith, as well as her collection of angels and teacups. When her ataxia had immobilized her, she never complained and would take comfort in knowing God would look after her. She maintained her keen mind and sense of humour. The visits from the homecare girls, friends, and Fr. Paul and the girls who brought Holy Communion were greatly appreciated. Our grandsons brought her a special joy.

Get out this winter and try new things

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

As a guy who considers himself to be pretty athletic, it is amazing how many winter activities I have never tried.

We recently worked on a special in our paper, which essentially was about winter activities and winter safety.

While thinking about different things I could write about, it became very apparent to me that I have not experienced that many winter activities.

As a kid I was all about hockey in the wintertime, I played for ten straight years, until I was 15, at which time I began refereeing hockey instead.

But in the summer I was a jack of all trades, I played soccer, lacrosse, ball hockey, and baseball just to name a few.

But what that told me was how little I actually knew about winter activities.

Thinking about the things to do during the winter I came up with plenty including cross country skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and curling just to name a few.

And what do all those things have in common?

As ashamed as I am to admit it, they are all things I have never tried.

I do have to admit I have been skiing plenty of times before, but it was always downhill.

While I would probably refer to go downhill skiing, mostly because I like the speed you can gather, I think I should still give cross country skiing a try.

In fact I should likely give all of those activities a try.

I am the kind of person who spends most of his winters on skates, in fact I would spend most of my summers on skates too, which I am sure is relatively normal for a large majority of Canadians, but I think it is time I shed those skates and participated in other activities.

I look at the other activities, like I said I have been skiing but cross-country would be a different experience worth trying.

Curling has always looked like a fun thing to try, but knowing that you need a large number of players to play and knowing that I do not have a lot of free time I have never bothered to give it a try.

Well that needs to change.

Snowshoeing I consider to be very similar to cross-country skiing, except instead of wearing skies you are wearing snow shoes.

I think it would be fun, and it would be a great way to spend an afternoon enjoying nature.

Snowmobiling would probably be the most fun, mostly because like I said before I like speed, but

it is also the most unlikely.

These are all activities I will eventually get out and do.

And if you have never experienced it before,

you should too.

Maybe it will become one of those things you cannot live without.

Like hockey and skating are for me.
