Community bands together to finish harvest
Twenty-six combines, 10 grain carts, over 20 semis and unlimited help made the last little bit of harvest easier for the Tremel family of Petersen. Paul Tremel lost his life in an accident at the end of September but members of his family, including his uncle, Alain Tremel, cousins, Justin Tremel and Robert Wurm, and family friend, Doug Krentz, made sure Paul’s parents, Jean and Brenda Tremel, had some help for the rest of harvest. photo courtesy of Justin Tremel

Community comes together for Tremel family Twenty-six combines, 10 grain carts, over 20 semis and unlimited help made the last little bit of harvest easier for the Tremel family of Petersen.

It was a heartbreaking day for the Tremel family when Paul Tremel lost his life in a accident on Sept. 22 at the age of 29. Among everything else that dad and mom, Jean and Brenda Tremel, had to worry about was finishing harvest. Alain Tremel, Paul’s uncle, said people were asking how they could help so, after permission from Jean, it did not take much to get everyone together to help the Tremel’s with the last of their harvesting. Thanks to Alain, Paul’s cousins Justin Tremel and Robert Wurm, and Doug Krentz, a family friend, they got everyone together with equipment and hands for harvest bee. The response from the Petersen, Meacham, and Bruno area farmers was astounding, says Alain.
“Guys were asking us already and I didn’t want to make any decisions until I talked to Jean and he said he’d take the help. Everybody just volunteered their equipment and time.” All together, 26 combines, 10 grain trucks, over 20 semis and an unlimited amount of help came by to finish the family’s roughly 1,500 acres of canola left to harvest. Alain says they wanted to focus on Jean’s canola and making sure that was taken off. “I think we did 1,500 acres of canola in six hours. There was some in Bruno area and Colonsay area.” Local grain and equipment companies also pitched in to help the family with grain going straight to the elevators which helped out a lot, says Alain. The response from members of all three communities just goes to show how great the community is when someone is in need, says Alain, and Jean and Brenda certainly felt the love from their community with the much appreciated help.

Everyone had crop in the field, they said, so everyone was taking time out of their own harvesting to help out their family, said Brenda in an email. “We found ourselves in tears thinking of all these people coming together and putting their own unfinished harvest aside to help us. It showed us love and compassion beyond measure,” wrote Brenda. Seeing everyone come together was overwhelming. “We truly feel blessed for all the support and generosity our amazing community has given to us.” Justin grew up with Paul and saw the hard work and passion he had for farming and the harvest bee was a testament to that, he says. “Family was very important to him obviously and a good hard working person who is going to be missed by our family and the community as a whole.” Justin says that everyone who came out did so because they knew Paul would have done the same thing for them. He took a lot of pride in everything him and his dad were working towards and his community and friends. Fall was Paul’s favourite time of year because of harvest, he says. “When you’re farmer, that’s in your blood.

The Jets could take flight in 2017-2018
By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist
For the sake of argument, let’s talk about the Winnipeg Jets beginning in 2011-12, the year of the team’s return to Winnipeg after the Atlanta Thrashers moved north. For the sake of argument, let’s just say the Jets have been terrible/medicore since then, rewarding their fans with 41 regular-season action-packed NHL games per season, but not a single playoff victory. And for the sake of argument, let’s just say that this year, the Jets might have one of the most exciting teams in the NHL and could pull a big surprise. At least one opposing team
is wary of the Jets. Here’s a chunk of broadcaster Elliotte Friedman’s 31 thoughts in late September: “A Western Conference exec joked last summer he was worried ‘the Jets would stop taking bad penalties and get more consistent goaltending, because then we’d all be in trouble.’ Spoke to him earlier this week. ‘My comment stands. They have great young talent, and those players are ready to take the next step.’ The Jets? A playoff contender? Why not? Winnipeg’s big three on offence takes a back seat to no other’s team’s top trio. Mark Scheifele, 24, is a bona fide superstar, rising to that status last year with 32 goals and 50 assists to finish seventh in the league scoring race. Nineteenyear-old Fin Patrik Laine was the second-best rookie in the league last year, scoring a team-leading 36 goals in a freshman season marred by a nine-game absence due to a concussion. And 21-year-old Nikolaj Ehlers turned heads around the league in his second year with his 25-goal, 39-assist season. Add veterans Blake Wheeler and Bryan Little to that super trio of kids and coach Paul

Calvin Daniels How producers build their knowledge base has certainly changed in recent years. When you have been a journalist as long as I have been, and have been following agriculture as part of your career, then you will have attended literally dozens of meetings designed to inform producers. Over the years those meetings have ranged from the potential of lupins and seabuckthorn to the community potential to large scale mushroom farms, to what is coming down the pipe in terms of canola varieties and oat

Maurice has one of the strongest foundations of forwards in the league around which to mold his team. But oh, that goaltending. The Jets have gone through Connor Hellebuyck, Michael Hutchinson and Ondrej Pavelec the last three or four years without any sustained success. Jets’ fans are hoping that free agent acquisition Steve Mason, the veteran who has had moderate success in his 10-year career, will provide stability. If he does, the Jets could, for the sake of argument, become a National Hockey League power. “The talent level, from top to bottom, is extremely impressive,” said Mason about the Jets. “Some of the best I’ve ever been around in my 10 years. There’s so much to be excited about.” Every year, it seems, one team suddenly finds itself and becomes a contender. Last year it was Columbus, who moved from the doldrums to become an NHL power. This year, could that team be Winnipeg? Why not? • RJ Currie of sportsdeke. com: “Happy 66th birthday to Canadiens’ legend Guy Lafleur, whose career ended with 560 goals and 1,353 points.

markets. But the number of meetings on the agenda each year are certainly in decline. It’s not a case where there is nothing new to tell farmers about. The use of robotic machinery, field mapping with aerial drones, new crops such as camelina, herbicide resistant weeds and changing markets are just some of the current areas where there are always new information being released. The difference today is that a town hall meeting is falling out of favour. There are several logical reasons for that, including producer time, the cost of touring expertise, weather threats to attendance in winter, and facility costs. Those are not new concerns, but today there is an alternative. Farm producers, like most of us, have become much more comfortable using the computer, the notebook, and the cellphone. These devices
open the door to knowledge at your fingertips. And it can be information specific to a particular interest. To borrow from my own world, I am a huge fan of the Canadian Football League, but coverage in terms of news and league talk on even Canadian sports television is limited. But tune into the Internet and search out CFL podcasts and you find shows such as ‘The Waggle’, ‘2 and Out’ and ‘For Your Earballs’. There is a new Major League Rugby loop launching in 2018. I love rugby, and the podcast ‘Earful of Dirt’ has already begun providing insight into the new league. Name your interest, and you are likely to find podcasts which fill the niche in terms of information. And it goes farther as well. Today, for farm producers there are numerous online options to gather information

primarily at their own convenience. They can tune in over coffee in the morning, while out swathing a crop, or driving down the highway with a load of grain. You see farm organizations moving their educational programs to the ‘Net as well. Every once in a while I get a message coming across Facebook advertising a webinar hosted by the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers. This year such webinars have included’ Scouting for Disease in Pulse Crops, Soybean Agronomy, and Nutrient Requirements and Contribution of Pulse Crops. Such events are specific to the pulse producer, and specific to certain aspects of the broader pulse sector. Farmers don’t need to drive to Saskatoon for such events, but can sit at home and learn. Certainly, the area of webinars, podcasts and other Internet-based programs are the future of farm producer information dissemination.

Crop report for the period of Sept. 26 to Oct. 2 Warm and dry weather earlier in the week allowed many producers to return to the field after several days of rain delays. Eighty-nine per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 78 per cent last week. Harvest progress remains ahead of the five year (20122016) average of 82 per cent for this time of year. Eight per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. Harvest is most advanced in the southwestern region, where 98 per cent of the crop is now combined. The southeastern and west-central regions have 92 per cent combined and the east-central region 89 per cent. The northeastern region has 78 per cent combined, while the northwestern region has 69 per cent combined. Many producers worked long hours over the last week to combine remaining crops prior to the rain. Some crops have been taken off tough and placed
into aeration bins. Ninety-nine per cent of chickpeas, 98 per cent of mustard, 97 per cent of durum, 93 per cent of canaryseed, 92 per cent of spring wheat and barley, 84 per cent of canola, 81 per cent of oats, 64 per cent of flax and 46 per cent of soybeans have now been combined. Fourteen per cent of canola is swathed or ready to straight-cut. Producers in many areas of the province welcomed the heavy rain and snow to help replenish the topsoil. However, warm and dry weather is now needed for producers to finish harvest. Rainfall this past week ranged from small amounts to 92 mm in the Kenaston area. Many central and northeastern areas reported well over 50 mm of rainfall, while areas in the south reported snow. Topsoil moisture conditions have greatly improved with the recent moisture, but more will be needed to replen-
ish the subsoil moisture for next spring. Across the province, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as five per cent surplus, 39 per cent adequate, 43 per cent short and 13 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as two per cent surplus, 34 per cent adequate, 39 per cent short and 25 per cent very short. Yield estimates remain about average overall, although they vary greatly across the province depending on time of seeding and moisture received throughout the season. Some eastern and northern areas are reporting higher-than-average yields, thanks to timely rainfall. Yields in much of the southern and central regions were greatly affected by the extended period of hot and dry conditions this summer. Many crops did not fill properly as they ran out of moisture much earlier than normal. Some cereal crops have
reduced protein content and lighter bushel weights. Spring wheat grades are above the 10 year average and are being reported as 74 per cent 1 CW, 23 per cent 2 CW and three per cent 3 CW. The majority of crop damage this past week was due to localized flooding, frost, strong winds, lack of moisture and wildlife such as geese and deer. Producers are busy combining, completing fall field work, moving cattle and hauling bales. SaskPower received five reports last week of farm machinery coming in contact with electrical equipment, bringing the total for September to 28. Producers are urged to be especially careful when using equipment around power lines. Safety information is available at www. saskpower.com/safety.

Naturopath conference new and enriching experience By Dr. Megan Parker, ND Health Columnist
Earlier this year I had the privilege of attending the first Healing Skies Naturopathic Conference at Manitou Beach. This was the first event of this magnitude to ever be held in the province and I was very pleased that it was right in my neighborhood. As Naturopathic Doctors we are constantly learning and updated our skillset and knowledge base. Continuing education credits are required by our licensing boards and governing bodies to maintain our professional licenses. The theme of the conference was reconnecting with our roots while showcasing best practices and innovations in naturopathic medicine. This conference was different from other conferences I’ve attended in larger centers like Calgary or Toronto. Smaller attendance numbers allowed the Healing Skies Conference to keep an intimate feel to it. There was more interaction between presenters and attendees, more outdoor time in nature, more laughter, and less feeling of being stuck in a classroom again for four days. An appreciated part of the conference was the invitation extended to elders. Jeanne Paul, ND, Gordon Smith, ND and Jared Zeff, ND gave multiple lectures and panels throughout the weekend. They have all been practicing for a number of
years and have a great wealth of knowledge and experience. Listening to and learning from our elders helps us reconnect with the roots and philosophies of naturopathic medicine and is a breath of fresh air mixed in with heavier evidence based lectures. I personally have been practicing for four years and feel like there is so much I can learn from elders who have been in practice, some of them, for close to as many years as I’ve been alive. As with any conference, there was also a lot of new and emerging evidence presented from leaders in the field. Although attending medical school was a rigorous and difficult process, I miss having experts present clinical pearls as they emerge. It’s hard to keep up with the vast research being released every day on your own while managing a practice. Throughout the weekend we learned more about Lyme disease, traumatic brain injuries, head and neck exams, and nutritional therapies in cancer care. Although the continuing education is interesting and engaging, my favourite part of attending conferences is connecting with colleagues and friends. While attending school you are surrounded with like-minded individuals. You are immersed in an environment of health, healing and naturopathic philosophies and culture.
Practicing alone in a smaller community at times can feel lonely and isolating. It is great to have opportunities during the year to meet up with colleagues and feel that connection once again. Not all continuing education is enjoyable and sometimes it is even painful to sit through, but the Healing Skies Naturopathic Conference was a lovely experience. I’m glad I had to opportunity to attend and learn, connect and engage with my profession. This article is intended for educational and information purposes only.

Show us what you got By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor
I loved it when I was in Saskatoon and Halifax, because the sheer accessibility of crafts, art and culture is mind-boggling. Here is something that might surprise people: we have that here in Humboldt and area, too. During the summer there was always something beautiful to be found at local craft and farmers markets. Culture Days through the Humboldt and District Museum on Sept. 29-30 was an amazing display of musicians, artists and cultural diversity. Right now the Humboldt and District Gallery Member Show and Sale is on, and the gallery is filled with beautiful pieces of glasswork, paintings, sculptures and more. All of it is for sale, with most of the profit going directly to the artists.
In another month, two events will be kicked off that always get me excited: the Festival of Wreaths will be up at the gallery and the Fall Expo will be set up for the Nov. 4-5 weekend. Again, we will have another amazing display of local artistry, baking, home-based businesses and craft work. I love how people in the area are so willing to put themselves out there and say, this is what I can do, this is what I have got. Some of them are really unique as well. Festival of Wreaths, shows not only do wreaths but all sorts of crafts work, and always has unique items. Sewing projects take hours to do, and there is never a shortage of items that took a lot of hard work. I love these events because people are willing to put themselves

and their work out there. That is the first step in creating these local markets and making them successful. Artists, crafters, and home-based business people just have to see the value in what they are willing to offer and say, yes, I want to show everyone to see what I can do. We as consumers can do so much to support these ventures and these events. The Christmas season is fast approaching, a time for great money spending. Where are we going to spend our dollars? What can we support in our own backyard? This is a great time of year to support local business, right down to the creator and crafter.

Starting safety off young at Progressive Ag Safety Day
Paul Cockell with the LeRoy and District Fire Department was on hand to teach around 124 students about fire safety at the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day at LeRoy School on Oct. 4. Cockell discussed with the students, including Watson School’s grades 1-2 class (pictured), which items on the table could cause a fire. The answer is all of them. photo by Becky Zimmer By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor
While it can be exciting and fun to be on the farm, there is also an element of danger. Thanks to the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day on Oct. 4 in LeRoy put on by Safe Communities Humboldt and Area, they are starting safety off at a young age. “Obviously we’re in a rural basis scenario here and a lot of students who either live on the farm or visit the farm. With all of those potential risks when you’re visiting or living and working on the farm, we wanted to create that culture of awareness and safety,” said Safe Communities executive director Shari Hinz. Getting that message to the students when they are young makes it more likely that message will stick with them into their teens and adult years, says Hinz. “When they’re adults and have families of their own, that’s already instilled in them.”
causing objects to show the kids, including a pot and lid. Over half of house fires in North America are caused by grease fires in the kitchen, says Cockell, either by overcooking things on the stove or by things being knocked off the stove. Grease fires can be put out by a good lid, he told the students. Lacey Rath with the Humboldt Pharmasave presented to the students about chemical, poison and drug safety, including pharmaceutical drugs. Before taking any medicine or working with cleaning supplies, Rath reminds the students to ask their parents. In the home right now, Rath says that laundry pods and dish washer tabs are the most accidentally ingested. Whenever Rath does present on poison and chemical safety, she brings along games for the kids involving telling the difference between something poisonous, something medicinal, and something edible. Looking at the display, there is not much difference in appearance between Gatorade and window cleaner, or candy and antacid tablets. “I find they love the little games but then it also hits home that hey, you shouldn’t touch that until you talk to an adult.” Glen Duck, executive director of the Saskatchewan Association of Agricultural Societies and Exhibitions goes to schools all around Saskatchewan to present on many different aspects of farm and home safety, including 19 safety days this past year reaching 6,000 students. Duck brought a Sask Power electrical safety display to LeRoy to speak to kids. The biggest things that Duck wants to teach students about electrical safety is to be aware and ask questions. “There is a lot of farm accidents involving electrical safety. If you see something that is not right with your parents, tell someone.” Many sponsors also went into the making sure the day was a success, including the Progressive Agriculture Foundation, says Hinz. “They provide a huge amount of support for organizations to deliver these ag safety days every year.” Local sponsors also pitched in, says Hinz, including the volunteers and presenters who volunteered their time, PotashCorp Langian, Farm Credit Canada, Canadian Agriculture Safety Association, and SaskMilk
A total of 124 students from grades 1-6 from LeRoy, grades 1-6 from Watson, and grades 1-4 from Englefeld stopped to learn about eight different aspects of farm safety; including fire, 911, and animal safety.

Cam Newton was answering questions during his weekly press conference when a female reporter asked him a question about the way one of his receivers ran their routes. His response to the question? “It’s funny to hear a female talk about routes like ... it’s funny.” I wonder why this is funny? The reporter in question was Jourdan Rodrigue who is the Panthers beat reporter for the Charlotte Observer. I think that makes her pretty qualified to ask those questions. If she did not know what she was talking about she would not have the job she has. I wonder what it is about Newton that made him think a female asking a question about the intricacies of the game was so funny. Of course, Newton did come out and apologize for his remark the next day, but that was only after some of his endorsement companies decided to pull the plug on their partnerships. Females in male sports and males in female sports is admittedly a touchy subject. But they should all be treated the same. When someone is holding a press conference they should all be given the same respect.
Now where I think we need to differentiate between the male and female reporters is in the locker room. Males should not be allowed in a female locker room, and females should not be allowed in a male locker room, just like men aren’t allowed in a female washroom and women are not allowed in a male washroom. You might say well what about cleaners. Typically washrooms are closed during cleaning, locker rooms are not empty during the reporters scrums. I have no problem with females covering male sports, or males covering female sports, but those athletes should be brought out of the dressing room to be interviewed. To be perfectly honest I understand why we allow reporters into the locker rooms because it is easy to speak to whoever you want, but in my opinion locker rooms should be closed, if reporters want to speak to athletes or coaches after the game, they should be brought out to the reporters. The locker room should be their safe place. As for Cam Newton, right now he really does not have a safe place because a lot of eyeballs are on him after his comments. Is it funny now?
Jay Semko wows crowd at Gallery show By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor
It was the type of space he loves to play in so Jay Semko felt right at home during his show at the Humboldt and District Gallery. “I’ve played art galleries in a few different cities and towns and I love playing in them. It looks beautiful and it sounds good and it feels really good.” Semko’s solo trip into Humboldt was a precursor to reuniting with fellow Northern Pikes members for their Big Blue Sky 30th anniversary cross Canada tour. While touring with the band is a great time, his solo shows do feel a lot more looser, says Semko. “It’s just me and the guitar. I put out a set list of about 40-50 songs and I chose what seems appropriate at the moment.” While there are some musical staples to his show, Semko says he can pick and chose what to play in the moment based on the crowd. Semko is also free to tell stories of his over 30 year career, including stories of forming and working with the Northern Pikes and his time on the Canadian hit TV show, Due South. Semko’s work on the show included two soundtrack albums that were released worldwide, including in Iran. After the show was cancelled and syndicated in many different countries, Semko was invited to do a concert in Iran after getting an email from a Iranian fan who was also a musician. “He said, I don’t know if you’re aware of this but the theme song with vocals is one of the few English language songs that get plays on the state radio here in Iran.” According to the fan, lots of people knew the song and knew who Semko was so this
person wanted to set Semko up on a tour of Iran. While Semko was busy at the time of another TV show and was going to keep in touch with his Iranian fan, the tour was not meant to be. After eight or nine months, says Semko, he gets another email from this fan saying that he has fled to Turkey and that he should not come to Iran. “The government started really cracking down on artists and musicians and freedom of expression. He said it wasn’t looking good for him and he thought he was going to get put in jail.” While this was a tragic yet oddly funny story that Semko likes to tell of his career, he says it was still cool to know that people are listening to his music from far away places. While Humboldt is a far cry from Iran, there was no shortage of Humboldt fans at the sold out gallery show. Semko was playing and storytelling in Humboldt for the first show in the second Humboldt Area Arts Council Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils (OSAC) Stars for Saskatchewan tour and was sponsored by Behiel, Will and Biemans Law Offices. After the success of last year ’s tour, which included headliners The Lion, The Bear, The Fox, Eric Harper, Middle Coast, and the Fortunate Ones, it was an easy decision to bring in the Stars tour for another year. Four shows will make up the 2017-2018 season, including next up Laila Biali on Nov. 2 sponsored by Weber Gasper Law Office. The OSAC Stars for Saskatchewan Humboldt series is brought to Humboldt care of the City of Humboldt, Friends of the Museum and Gallery, and the Humboldt Journal.

Wynyard caps off third straight perfect regular season By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter
The high school football regular season is entering the stretch drive and the playoff picture is beginning to become a little clearer. 6-Man 1A Conference 1 The Raymore Rebels continue to roll through their regular season schedule as they won their fifth straight game knocking off Kahkewistahaw 41-0 at home on Oct. 5. The win moved the Rebels to 5-0 on the season, and kept them in first place in the seven-team conference, two points clear of the Cupar Wildcats. The Rebels now enjoy a bye week, before they wrap up their regular season on Oct. 20 when they travel to Southey. 1A Conference 4 The Viscount Vikings picked up another win on Oct. 5 as they knocked off Hague 40-28 in Hague, pushing their unbeaten streak to four games. The win moved the Vikings to 3-1-1 on the season leaving them in third place in the six-team conference, just one point back of the Carrot River Wildcats, and three back of the first place Hanley Tigers. The Vikings will look to push their unbeaten run to five games as they welcome the Hudson Bay Raiders to town on Oct. 13. 2A Conference 3 Watrous After suffering their first loss of the season in week four, the Watrous Wildcats got back in the win column in week five as they knocked off the Preeceville Panthers 36-14 in Preeceville on Oct. 5. The win moved the Wildcats’ record to 4-1 on the season, and leaves them to finish in second place behind the Wynyard Golden Bears. The Wildcats now enjoy a couple of weeks off as they get set for the provincial quarterfinals. Thanks to their second place finish in the conference the Wildcats will return to the field on Oct. 28 when they play the winner of Conference 2, which will come down to one of Clavet, Dalmeny, and Hafford. Wynyard The Golden Bears’ dominance in regular season high school football will continue into 2018 as they wrapped up the regular season with their 17th consecutive regular season victory as they knocked off the Davidson Raiders 74-24 in Davidson on Oct. 5. The win wrapped up another perfect regular
season for the Golden Bears that saw them finish 5-0 and win their conference by two points over Watrous. The Bears will now enjoy a couple of weeks off to prepare for the provincial quarterfinals, where they will take on the second ranked team in Conference 2, which will come down to Clavet, Dalmeny, and Hafford on Oct. 28. Lanigan The Lanigan Lazers put a perfect wrap on their 2017 high school football season as they picked up their second straight win, knocking off the Assiniboia Rockets 44-14 in Assiniboia on Oct. 5. The win gives the Lazers a 2-3 record on the season, leaving them in a tie for third place with the Preeceville Panthers in the conference. Despite finishing in third place, the Lazers saw their season come to a close as only the top two teams in each conference make the playoffs, leaving the Lazers to begin planning for the 2018 season. 2A Conference 4 Wakaw The Wakaw Warriors continue to roll through their high school football regular season as they
routed another foe, this time the Birch Hills Marauders 50-18 on Oct. 5 in Birch Hills. The win moves the Warriors to 4-0 on the season, and leaves them in a first place tie with the Shellbrook Aardvarks. Those two teams will finally have a chance to break the tie in the fifth and final week of the regular season as the Warriors welcome the Aardvarks to town on Oct. 12. Birch Hills Thanks to their loss to the Warriors, the Birch Hills Marauders saw their record drop to 0-4 on the season, leaving them in a tie with Ahtahkakoop for fifth place in the six-team conference. The Marauders will have a chance to pick up their first win of the season on Oct. 12 as they visit Ahtahkakoop, with fifth place in the conference on the line.

Lancers district title streak snapped at six By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter
The Lake Lenore Lancers’ dominance in the team points competition is over. After winning the team title six years in a row the Lancers were edged out by Strasbourg at the cross-country district championships in St. Brieux on Oct. 5. The second place finish kept the top two streak alive for the Lancers, as they have failed to finish any lower than second in the team standings since 2007, when they finished third. The Lancers finished the district championship with five podiums,
including three firsts in Wee Pee Girls, Junior Girls, and Junior Boys, and thirds in Junior Boys, and Senior Boys. Of the 19 runners to race at the district championships, 14 finished in the top ten, while the other five finished in 14th, 16th, 11th, 17th, and 12th. With only runners in the Midget, Junior, and Senior categories eligible to qualify for the provincial championships, the Lancers will be sending 11 runners, who will be looking to win Lake Lenore their sixth straight provincial title, as two runners will race in the Midget Boys, three in the Junior Girls, two in the Junior Boys, and four in the Senior Boys.
Finishing just one place behind the Lancers, were the Muenster Cougars, who missed out on the team points title by just three points. The Cougars sent 17 runners to the district championships, where they claimed five podium finishes including four seconds in Wee Pee Boys, Bantam Boys, Junior Girls, and Junior Boys, and a third in Bantam Girls. In total the Cougars finished with ten runners in the top ten and added four 11th places finishes, one 14th, one 16th, and one 20th. The Cougars will be sending six runners to the provincial championships, where they will have two runners racing in Midget Girls, one in Midget Boys, two in Junior Girls, and one in Junior Boys. Just missing out on a spot on the team points podium were the Middle Lake Avengers, who finished fourth, just three points back of the Cougars. The Avengers sent 13 runners to the district championships, where they finished with four runners on the podium including a first and second in the Bantam Girls event, and third in
the Pee Wee Girls, and Midget Girls events. In addition to their four podium finishers, the Avengers added three other top ten finishes, and saw five runners finish outside the top ten. With their excellent runs, the Avengers will be sending four runners to the provincial championships with one each competing in Midget Girls and Senior Girls, and two competing in Junior Girls. The Annaheim Rebels finished in a tie for sixth place with the St. Brieux Crusaders, with the Rebels having three runners qualify for provincials and the Crusaders having five. Wynyard Composite pulled into eighth place in the team standings, and will see five runners race at provincials, while Bruno finished 12th, and will send one runner to provincials. Other schools to earn spots at provincials include LeRoy, Watson, Punnichy High, and Wadena Composite. All the runners who earned at spot at provincials will enjoy a week to prepare before heading to Turtleford on Oct. 14.

K eep yourself out of the ditch this winter
BY BECKY ZIMMER JOURNAL EDITOR Soon the snow will fly and the roads will freeze. Are you ready for winter driving? Skid Smart driving course instructor, Lee Carlson, prepares people for winter driving, both in the classroom and on the skid pad through the Saskatchewan Safety Council. During the winter months, driving becomes an overestimation and underestimation scenario on the part of the driver, says Carlson. Drivers have a tendency to overestimate their skill and underestimate the situation they are facing. That is where drivers can get themselves into trouble, he says. “So many people think I can handle this, I’ve been driving for a lot of years. All the sudden they’re faced with a hazardous situation and they have the potential to over react.” Road conditions are a huge factor of driver underestimation. The posted speed limit is under good and norIN

mal driving conditions, says Carlson, but quite often that is not the case in Saskatchewan during the winter. “Even though the legal speed limit is posted on a black and white sign that states the maximum limit, it may be far safer to travel at 10-15 kilometres less,” says Carlson. Drivers need to consider the conditions when setting their speed and departure time. Carlson always tells his class that it is better to arrive late than not at all. Driving slower and not feeling rushed in questionable conditions will also improve the driving technique, says Carlson. “We have far better control of our vehicle and have more time to react if a situation did develop, by driving at a slower speed.” What is taught in the classroom, apart from analyzing the driving conditions, is also the technique for when a driver does find themselves in a skid. The biggest problem drivers get themselves into is that as soon as the vehicle starts to skid, they want to slam on the brake. That shifts the balance and dynamics of the vehicle forward, says Carlson, and causes more trouble. “Even in an emergency we can control where we’re going and what we’re doing.” When drivers find themselves in a skid, steering should come before braking as the driver needs to look where they want the vehicle to go, steer where they are looking, and then brake. Always try to brake in a straight line whenever possible. Over steering becomes the next problem for drivers in a skid, says Carlson. “Many people feel they have to turn that steering wheel multiple times in a hand over hand motion ,
which actually extenuates that skid.” When braking while in a skid, the weight shifts to the front steering axle of your vehicle, says Carlson. which affects the weight differential and balance of the unit. Over steering can swing the back end around and when drivers try to counter that momentum by over steering the opposite way, the vehicle can end up doing 360 degree turns in the middle of the road. To prevent over steering, Carlson recommends to keep hands positioned at three and nine. Half turns of the steering wheel is generally all the driver need to maintain basic control. Even if drivers are unable to take a winter driving course, like the Skid Smart through Carlson, he encourages everyone to think about their own driving habits and what they would do in any given situation. We need to focus and pay more attention to the task of driving, no matter what our age, driving ability or experience. “Our ultimate goal is collision prevention,” says Carlson.

Staying winter ready all winter long BY BECKY ZIMMER JOURNAL EDITOR Winter can be tough on your vehicle. The cold, the snow, the cold, the ice. The cold. There are many reasons why you need to take care of your vehicle during those frigid winter months but there are ways to keep your vehicle happy after -30 C. Bradly Mason with Cropper Motors in Naicam sees the problems people can have with their vehicles from November to March. The battery takes a beating, says Mason, especially when starting your vehicle in the cold weather. “A perfectly brand new one can go dead too if it’s not maintained properly.� While most engines will start even when they are not plugged in for the evening, that is not good for them. “The best thing to do is to plug it in
because it warms the engine up and it’s a lot easier to turn over.� A cold battery will not take any charge, and Mason has boosted more people who make quick trips out without warming up their vehicle first than any other drivers. “To start your vehicle and go pick groceries and come back, that battery is not taking charge, period, because it’s too cold.� More batteries are damaged during this time, says Mason, just because people are not driving their vehicle enough to charge the battery. For short trip drivers, Mason advises them to get a trickle charger installed on their vehicle in order to keep their battery charged all the time. While lots of people are in a hurry in the mornings to get to work or get the kids to school, leaving your vehicle running for 10-15 minutes is just good vehicle care, says Mason.
Even with sythetic oils and cold weather ratings on batteries, Mason says this is just good practice to give your vehicle time. “Some people just jump in and drive it, and to me, the oil in the transmission is still pretty thick...when you’ve got hot air coming out of your defrost, you know the engine is warm.� Everything else on your vehicle should be regularly maintained enough to handle the cold months but there are certain products that can help your vehicle run better in the winter, especially properly graded antifreeze. Proper antifreeze is any that is good up to -35 C, says Mason, so with proper antifreeze, you should be good for winter. Frozen or gel like antifreeze can cause damage to hoses and the blockheater and usually the first thing people notice is their heaters are not working. That could be a sign that there is a
problem with the antifreeze becoming thicker with the cold, says Mason. Things like oil should not be something vehicle owners should be worried about since oil quality should be good for both winter and summer driving. Mason still says that getting an oil change before the weather turns cold gives mechanics time to give your vehicle the full inspection as well as putting fresh oil in. “Most garages will check the antifreeze, check all your belts, check the battery cables, check the block heater. There’s a big checklist. It’s good service and it’s a good thing to do before winter.� Even at -20 C, things can get pretty cold for your vehicle so taking your vehicle in for regular service can save yourself from being stranded in -20 C on a grid road with no cell service. “As long as you maintain your vehicle, that’s the main thing,� says Mason.
Winter tires: It is a matter of safety BY CHRISTOPHER LEE JOURNAL REPORTER Winter is coming and with it comes nasty weather. One of the most important things drivers can do to be safer on the road is equip their vehicles with winter tires, notes Toyota Accessory Specialist with Ens Auto Mitch Quesnel. “With winter tires they have deeper grooves in them, which push the water away. And they are a softer compound tire, which grabs the ice and snow better,� says Quesnel. “They are way better for traction in the winter time. It keeps you way safer.� Making the switch to winter tires should be done
once the temperature outside drops below seven degrees, notes Quesnel, who says the time is quickly approaching. “I usually do mine on the thanksgiving weekend.� Winter tires are more effective during the winter than all season tires, notes Quesnel, who says all season tires are meant to perform in temperatures above seven degrees while winter tires are meant to perform in temperatures between seven degrees and minus 40. “There’s a lot of people out there that don’t believe in winter tires but I strongly suggest getting winter tires for even trucks. You will stop faster.� There are a number of different kinds of winter
tires, and Quesnel says all tires today are quite good, but says that he suggests that people driving on roads in Saskatchewan should be looking to get ice radial tires. “We get more ice on the roads than we do snow. There’s lots more black ice than snow on our highways.� As for make of tire, there are a number of them out there, but Quesnel says he mainly deals with Michelin, Toyo, Bridgestone and BFGoodrich. If anyone is looking for more information regarding winter tires, Quesnel encourages anyone to call him at 1-306-653-5252, or send him or Joe Taksas an email at mquesnel@ensauto.ca or jtaksas@ensauto.ca.

PAMI gets out into the field to test grain loss Prairie Agriculture Machinery Institute Project Manager, Zachary Kendel, and Project Leader, Joel McDonald, check the swaths in their test field outside of Watson during PAMI’s latest grain loss test. The study is measuring accuracy of current grain loss sensor technology using specially made PAMI machinery. photo by Becky Zimmer
By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor
Most combines that are manufactured in this day and age have grain loss sensors in the place to help the farmers. But how accurate are they? That is what Prairie Agriculture Machinery Institute (PAMI) was out in the fields this harvest season trying to test for, their “Investigation into converting a combine grain loss signal into a grain loss rate” study.
Project leader, Joel McDonald, says that current grain loss technology in combines are just bar graphs that have no definitive value. PAMI wants to work to change that by, “Correlate existing harvester loss sensor data with actual loss curves, optimize the harvest loss sensor, determine if current loss sensing technology is adequate, decrease harvest losses for all Saskatchewan crops,” says the report objec-
tives. “All recent model combines have grain loss sensors and you get a reading in the cab but it’s a unitless bar graph. You have to get out there and do a calibration.” McDonald and his crew are trying to turn that into a more quantifiable number. “How accurately could those existing loss monitors predict in turns of bushels per acre rather than an arbitrary number.”
Sitting in a combine, staring at a bar graph all day can make someone complacent but if operators can get proper calibration where sensors can give a live reading of bushel loss per acre, that is going to mean a lot more than a bar graph, says McDonald. Comparing loss sensor data with that of their own recorded combine loss was a focus while they were out combining wheat near Watson at the end of September.
Defining loss actually includes both free grain that is lost in the system and does not end up in the bin as well as unthreshed lost grain that is left on the shaft and is discarded out of the combine with the rest of the straw. There are two points of loss where this loss can happen; the rotors on the inside of the combine as the swaths move through the machine, and then also out the cleaning chute. Measuring loss out the back takes a specially built two part PAMI machine; one part is a collector, which is towed behind the combine and has two sets of conveyor belts to collect debris and another modified combine that processes what the collector picks up. “What it’s doing is cleaning out and finding out how much grain loss actually went through the back of the combine.” The equipment is specifically developed for the purpose of measuring loss and it is the only one in North America that is not brand specific. “They have equipment similar to this with minor differences but they test using the same methodology to get the same data.” The study is being carried across grain types with PAMI testing canola, wheat, and peas. The study is sponsored by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, the Ag Development Fund, Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission, and the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission.
Celebrating disability employment awareness in October By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor
While people may not think about the importance of going to work each day, for many people in Humboldt and Saskatchewan, finding employment can be difficult. That is why Humboldt and District Community Services wants everyone to think about their own employment situation for the month of October during their Disability Employment Awareness Month. What if someone lost their job tomorrow and could not find another one? For people with diabilities, that is the reality of their situation. For Naimh Menz with Humboldt and District Community Services, she works with people from all walks of life to help them find employment and get past those barriers that could be keeping them from a job they love. While the focus is working with people with diabilities, both visable and invisible, Menz says that she helps anyone that needs an extra hand finding meaningful employment. “The most difficult thing for me in my job is seeing somebody across the
table from me and they’re desperate to work and you want to do everything you can to help them.” The first question that Menz asks of people is if they want to work and the majority of the time it is a resounding yes. After that it is getting to know the person, says Menz; what they want to do and strengths or weaknesses they have that could impact their employment. “We narrow it down to some places where that person would like to work. We always try to make sure it’s a right fit for that individual but also the employer.” In Humboldt, Menz says they have made great relationships with local businesses who are willing to provide employment opportunities for people with disabilities, if that is the right fit, says Menz. There is hardly a business in Humboldt who has not stepped up and become part of inclusive employment, she says, and they see the benefits first hand of having an inclusive work environment. And everyone sees the benefits of that.

Working with the employees, Menz says that they will talk challenges and assistance with them but want them to gain that confidence of working independantly. After a while, Menz says she wants to step back and have that employee be independantly employed. For people who are desperate to work, that confidence and self-esteem is big and that is what Menz sees in the people she works with. For the employers, they see benefits from both a business side and an workplace environment side. “It’s as simple as improving that workplace culture,” says Menz, “everybody is a bit more patient and kind.”
From a business perspective, it is training dollars and retention, says Menz. Making sure people want to stay in their job is part of the process, says Menz. It is not about just putting them in any job but a job that they want to stay in. “They have an opportunity, they’re invested there, and often we see that person be there five years along the line but they’ll have added on (to their job).” For those employers or employees looking to get involved with inclusive employment, they can call the Humboldt and District Community Services or visit their office on Main Street.

KENASCHUK: Henry Walter April 25, 1935 - Sept. 24, 2017 Henry Walter Kenaschuk of Quill Plains Centennial Lodge, Watson, SK, passed away at his residence on Sunday, September 24, 2017. He was 82 years of age. Henry, the youngest of six children, was born to George and Mary (nee Stinka) Kenaschuk at Hamer’s Nursing Home in Watson on April 25, 1935. He attended Green Meadow School and Watson High School. Following his education, Henry farmed with his father, and his oldest brother John. In his early years, after every harvest, he worked as a desk clerk at the Patricia Hotel in Saskatoon, SK. On October 29, 1960, Henry married Marlene Hicks at 3rd Avenue United Church in Saskatoon. That spring they moved to the farm in the Daphne district and lived with Henry’s father. Farming was his passion and he continued to do so with his son Kelly until 2002, when he and Marlene moved into Watson. Henry enjoyed spending time with friends and family, especially watching his grandchildren in their sports and activities. His interests included curling, bowling, fishing, camping, weekly card nights with ‘the boys’, and times travelling with special friends, Ken and Lavina Fetter. Henry spent all of his life in the Watson and Daphne area. He was a member of the Independant Order of Forresters, served on the Trinity United Church board, and the Cemetery Association. Henry was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and lived at home until 2015, when he became a resident of Quill Plains Centennial Lodge. He will be sadly missed by his wife of nearly 57 years, Marlene (nee Hicks) Kenaschuk; their three children and four grandchildren: Kelly (Shirley) Kenaschuk of Watson and family, Kelci (Jeff), and Carissa (Garret) Miskolczi; Mark Kenaschuk of Melfort; and Stacey (Allan) Nordick of Watson and family, Shea (Ryan), and Blake (Kendra); two sisters: Kathleen (Kay) Wenschlag of Nanaimo, BC, and Olga McCracken of Radville, SK; one brother, Edward Kenaschuk of Morden, MB; sister-inlaw, Lorraine Kenaschuk of Saskatoon, SK; numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins; and by a host of good friends. He was predeceased by his mother, Mary (nee Stinka) Kenaschuk (1940); father, George Kenaschuk (1975); two brothers: Steve Kenaschuk (1994), and John Kenaschuk (2005); four sisters-inlaw: Irene Kenaschuk (1971), Gertrude “Gertie� Kenaschuk (2004), Vivian Kenaschuk (2010), and Jean Hicks (2015); three brothers-in-law: Earl McCracken (1985), Wallace Wenschlag (2003), and Stanley Hicks (2005); father-in-law, Gordon Hicks (1979); and by his mother-in-law, Eva Hicks (1996). The Funeral Service was held at Trinity United Church, Watson, on Monday, October 2, 2017, at 11:00 a.m., officiated by Rev. Brenda Curtis. Candle lighters were Henry’s grandchildren, Shea, Kelci, Carissa, and Blake. The urnbearer was Henry’s grandson, Blake Nordick, scripture readers were Henry’s nieces, Chelsea Anderson and Kailey Gryba, and memorial table attendants were Anne Anders and Betty Moskaluke. Henry’s life story and tributes were delivered by Rev. Brenda Curtis and family friend Ken Fetter. Music ministry was provided by organist Betty Wittig.

MOELLENBECK: Irmgard Maria Feb. 13, 1937 - Sept. 24, 2017 Irmgard Maria Moellenbeck of St. Mary’s Villa, Humboldt, SK, passed away peacefully at her residence on Sunday, September 24, 2017. She was 80 years of age. Irmgard, the second of six children, was born to John and Josepha (nee Hellmann) Moellenbeck at home on their farm in the St. Gregor district. She grew up there and attended South St. Gregor Rural School. As a young girl, Irmgard enjoyed an active childhood, and loved to play ball in the position of pitcher. However, her life changed drastically when, in June 1950, she started to have health problems. Irmgard was stricken with polio, and then suffered from many other illnesses. Because of that, she was unable to continue further with her education after Grade 8. Being at home at a young age, she developed excellent domestic skills and did a lot of cooking and baking for the family. She was very protective of the delicious meals, pies, cakes, and cookies she made and ensured no one helped themselves until she was ready for them to devour. Irmgard also spent many fulfilling hours embroidering and doing other crafts. In addition, she had a passion for writing, and was very proud of her proficient spelling skills and excellent memory for details and dates. Everything Irmgard did, was done with perfection. In 1971, Irmgard and her parents moved into a new house in St. Gregor. In 1995, she moved to the Harry Ford Centre in Humboldt. Irmgard enjoyed playing shuffle board and bingo with the other residents there. Eventually, she lived at Evergreen Home in LeRoy for a time, and finally, returned to Humboldt to reside at St. Mary’s Villa. Her family was the centre of her life. She had a special place in her heart for each of her nieces and nephews, and she derived much joy from family get-togethers, and one-on-one visits. Irmgard will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her brothers, sisters, and their families: sister-in-law, Elizabeth Moellenbeck (†Arnold) and family, Maurice (Donna) Moellenbeck, Vincent Moellenbeck, Gordon (Anna-Marie) Moellenbeck, Richard (Rhonda) Moellenbeck, and Wayne (Lisa) Moellenbeck. Lawrence (Mary) Moellenbeck and family, Jim (Charlene) Moellenbeck, and Randy (Cheryl) Moellenbeck; Kay Porter and family, Denise (Lou) Schichnes, Steven (Victoria) Porter, and David (Jodi) Porter; Loretta Reineke and family, Joan Reineke, Sharon (Kelly) Barrault, and Eric (Janelle) Reineke; and Bernard (Phyllis) Moellenbeck and family, Leah (†Steve) Harris, Janet (Malcolm) Nowosad, Nancy (Ryan) Wourms, Glen (Maria) Moellenbeck, and Darren Moellenbeck. She was predeceased by her parents, John and Josepha (nee Hellman) Moellenbeck; one brother, Arnold Moellenbeck; great-nephew, Patrick Harris; and by two brothers-in-law: Wallace Porter, and Meinolf Reineke. The Funeral Mass was offered at St. Augustine R.C. Church, Humboldt, on Saturday, September 30, 2017, at 10:30 a.m., celebrated by Fr. Michael Yaremko. Others taking part were: Maurice Moellenbeck, crossbearer; Gordon Moellenbeck and Glen Moellenbeck, intentions and scripture readers; Loretta Reineke and Phyllis Moellenbeck, giftbearers; Josephine Stroeder, memorial table attendant; Bernard Moellenbeck, eulogist; Lawrence and Mary Moellenbeck, urnbearers. Music ministry was provided by director Loretta Schugmann, organist Marie Aubin, and members of the St. Augustine Parish Funeral Choir. Honorary pallbearers were all Irmgard’s nieces and nephews, and all others who shared in her life. Interment followed at St. Gregory R.C. Cemetery, St. Gregor. Memorial donations may be directed to the St. Mary’s Villa Foundation. Schuler-Lefebvre Funeral Chapel, Humboldt, SK. (306-682-4114) www.schuler-lefebvrefuneralchapel.com

Local rider takes provincial and national titles
Humboldt Broncos forward Blake Berschminsky fights through traffic and unleashes a wrist shot during the Broncos’ home game against the Nipawin Hawks on Oct. 6 Berschminsky’s shot found its way past Hawks netminder Declan Hobbs for his first career SJHL goal but it was not enough as the Broncos fell 7-5. See this week’s Humboldt Journal for the Broncos details. photo by Christopher Lee Makenna Britz and Pam are a team as they took the Saskatchewan and Canadian titles in the equestrian sport of cutting. Together they compete to first separate a yearling cow from its herd and then keep it separated for two and a half minutes. Britz is looking forward to next year’s competition where she hopes to reach top 20 in the world. photo courtesy of Lisa Britz By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor
High School students from around the area contemplated their futures during the St. Peter’s College Opportunities Edge fair on Oct. 4 at St. Peter’s gym. Student Services Officer Maury Wrubleski says that around 500 students came from around the Horizon School Division, including Wakaw, Wadena, and Imperial. Around 40 exhibitors came to show off their post-secondary institute, local employment, and service organization with the farthest being from Calgary and Winnipeg. photo by Becky Zimmer

Makenna Britz is a busy girl. The 13-year-old splits her time between being a student at Muenster School, hockey, 4-H, and riding time. But Makenna was not too busy to take home the 2017 provincial and national titles in the equestrian sport of cutting. From March to September, Makenna competed with her 8-year-old mare, Pam, in the sport where the rider has to separate a yearling cow from its herd and keep it separated for two and a half minutes. The scoring system starts the participant off with a certain number of points and as the time wears on, they are judged and deducted based on their performance. As only one half of a team effort, Mckenna says she has to have absolute trust in her horse and vise versa for them to perform so well. Lisa Britz, Makenna’s mom, says this is why she has been able to compete so well. “Not enough can be said for the complete trust and partnership between these two.” Other members of her team includes her coaches Les Timmons and Dale Clearwater and her parents who work hard in getting her to competitions, she says. Makenna’s performance throughout the year was strong enough for her to take the Saskatchewan title and Canadian titles but now Mckenna has her eye on making the top 20 at worlds, which will include competing in a lot more shows, including some in the United States, says Lisa. One particular show Mckenna is looking into is the Calgary Stampede where there is a big youth cutting competition, however she will have to qualify for that one, she says. No matter where she goes with it, Mckenna says she does love riding her horse and working with the cows during the event. Cows are definitely in the future for Mckenna since her work with 4-H Beef is expanding her knowledge of cows and she eventually wants to start her own herd, says Lisa.

BDC SMALL BUSINESS WEEK
TM
OCTOBER 15 - 21, 2017
First steps in creating a small business BY BECKY ZIMMER JOURNAL EDITOR Name any business in Humboldt and area and there is a good chance that you are naming a small business. Particularly in the rural communities, small businesses cover a variety of services from clothing to construction but they face unique challenges in rural settings. While starting a business can be intimidating, for anyone looking to start their own business, there are supports from financial to mentorship programs out there for you to get down to business and bring your business out to the forefront. Marketing and competition is some of the biggest challenges facing small business, says Stacey Poss, executive director of the Humboldt and District Chamber of Commerce. Mom and Pop shops are competing with larger businesses, both in the Humboldt area and Saskatoon,
so properly marketing themselves and getting the word out can improve their business greatly. For Poss, her job with the Chamber of Commerce is creating and supporting that business network of businesses across Humboldt and area. Her advice is to have a business plan at square one. Whether it is tech or retail, Poss says businesses need to have that plan in place, as much as some people might want to wing it and just get down to it. And that is not something business owners need to do alone, says Poss, with plenty of supports in the area for making that first step a successful one. It is marketing, long and short term goals, resources, and getting everything else in place to takes those next steps, says Poss. Business owners need to know
what will make them money. “At the end of the day, that’s why you start your business.” Money is always an issue whether needing capital or needing a little bit of help to keep your business going. LeRoy Credit Union sees first hand the challenges of small business as they work to support business members in and outside the trade area, says Leona Wakelan, Office Manager in LeRoy. Small businesses provide local services that people in the community need without having to go long distances outside of the community. However, before starting a business, Wakelan advises potential business owners to do their homework. Is the service you are going to offer something that the community needs? “Often you have to do some research like going to other businesses in the area and getting their thoughts and opinions, going to town adminis-
trators and do some research there.” Financial support is also an important factor to know beforehand, says Wakelan, since financial help is a deciding factor. Money is going to be an issue, says Poss, since small business owners will have to work hard for their bottom line. Speaking to any small business, says Poss, she sees that most of them are not in it for the money. Each small business it is different, whether they are in it for the creative freedom, believing in what they do, or having the passion for entrepreneurship. “They’re doing it because they love what they do. Entrepreneurs do what do because they love what they do...small business is your life.” While these business dreamers may be in it for their own passions and goals, small businesses have a large role to play in rural Saskatchewan.
Viscount news By Sandra Reid Correspondent Blankets for Canada met this week, marking the beginning our year. We are a group of people (mostly ladies but gentlemen are welcome) who enjoy each other’s company for three hours each week, joining knitted and crocheted squares together to make blankets, which are then distributed to several shelters in Saskatoon.
18 ECT Friday, October 13, 2017
On Oct. 4, there were eight ladies, some of whom were very busy over the summer designing and sewing on their own. We therefore already have several blankets ready for delivery! Thank you to all who contributed to this, and to all who participate in this worthwhile project. If you would like more information please contact Evelina at 306-944-4820. Viscount School will be hosting the annual Scholastic Book Fair during Education week Oct.
16-20. Everyone is welcome to attend. Posters will be put up with specific times so watch for that information. There will be a Family Event held on Oct. 17.
