LIFE’S

milestones

Every life is a story. There are milestones that we can’t wait to share, while there are others that we wish we didn’t have to. These stages of life are an undeniable part of the human journey, and we invite you to share yours with us in our weekly Life’s Milestones.

Are you celebrating an anniversary or birth, or you’d like to announce your engagement? Is your youngest child graduating, or perhaps a colleague is retiring? Has a loved one passed away, or would you like to remember one in some special way?

Margaret Helen Chicoine June 15, 1931 - Nottingham, Saskatchewan March 17, 2017 - Calgary, Alberta Margaret Chicoine of Calgary, AB, passed away on March 17, 2017 at the age of 85 years. Margaret was born in Redvers, Saskatchewan to Hugo and Johanna Nissen on June 15, 1931. The youngest of five children, she attended school in Redvers and worked for a short time as a telephone operator. On December 10, 1953 she married Alcide Chicoine in Storthoaks, Saskatchewan and entered her chosen field as that of a homemaker for her husband and three children. As a musician, Margaret played at countless dances, strumming and singing her way through Southern Saskatchewan, Manitoba and North Dakota with her band, ‘The Drifters’. Her skills as home decorator and landscaper extraordinaire were on display at each of her homes: the first on farmland outside of Storthoaks, Saskatchewan and her second (after Al was transferred in 1979) in the city of Calgary, Alberta. Margaret and Al also spent many fun-filled summers at their beloved cabin at Carlyle Lake, and after Al retired, they spent many more fun-filled winters down south in Florida. Margaret is survived by her daughters and sons-in-law, Corinne and Andy Martel, and Beverley Chicoine and Harry Enevoldsen; her son Blaine; her grandchildren, Shannon Martel (Trevor), Dallas (Kelley) Martel, Kent (Randi) Martel, Graham (Amanda) Martel, Ryan (Shelby) Enevoldsen, Adam Enevoldsen, Tyler Chicoine, Reagan Chicoine and Kirsten Chicoine; as well as nine great-grandchildren, Shayden, Sierra, Roen, London, Briar, Addison, Nixon, Aubrey, and Nova. Margaret is predeceased by her husband of fifty-eight years, Alcide; her daughter-in-law, Rose Warnock; her parents Hugo and Johanna Nissen; and her siblings, Louise, Hugo, Johanna and Christina. As per Margaret’s wishes, a private family service will be held to celebrate her life at the Sacred Heart Church Columbarium. Please forward condolences through www.hffs.com. If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made directly to a charity of their choice.

From Page 23 - Conservation Corner The southern zone is a different concept. This zone is south of the provincial forest and is made up of primarily privately-owned land. Licensed trappers must obtain permission from the owners of these lands in order to legally trap there. Common species harvested in the south for their fur include: coyote, fox, muskrat, beaver and weasel. Trapping is a learned skill that is often passed down from parent to child. There are procedures and practices that some do which makes their form of trapping a true skill. Trapping has changed greatly in recent years with significant changes to the types of traps allowed to be used. International humane trapping standards have been instituted and Canada is a leader in the development of humane traps. In Saskatchewan, The Wildlife Regulations require certified traps for the capture of furbearing animals. The annual Hunters’ and Trappers’ Guide lists the lawful traps for each species. Only certified traps or traps that have been modified to improve humaneness may be used. Common traps which are lawful for use include body gripping (quick kill) traps and restraining (foot hold or cage traps). The use of snares is specifically regulated and requires special authorization before use. Please check with your local conservation officer before doing this, as we do not issue these to just anyone with a licence. There are also a variety of other regulations that licensed trappers must follow while preforming regular trapping activities. These rules regulate how often traps must be checked, procedures when trapping near homes, land right of access and firearm and vehicle use. Once again, it is best to check with a conservation officer if you have any questions. Q: How do I get a trappers licence? You must be a minimum of 12 years of age, a Saskatchewan resident, and have successfully passed a recognized trappers exam or course, regardless of your age. If you have held a trappers licence in the past, you are exempt from the trapper course. In addition to the trapper course, you must also pass the Saskatchewan Hunter Education Course.

Q: Is there an open season for trapping in Saskatchewan? Species like the coyote can be hunted all year round in the south, but not in the north zones. Most fur species are managed similarly to other game species, with established seasons. These seasons generally correspond to the time period that the fur animal is prime – meaning the pelt is fully developed and has reached maximum value. Depending upon the species, most seasons start on either October 15 or November 1. Check the Saskatchewan Hunters’ and Trappers’ Guide for correct opening and closing dates, available each year at saskatchewan.ca/ hunting. Q: If I shoot a coyote, can I sell it to a trapper? No, the only way you can legally sell any fur is if you have a valid trappers’ licence. The person buying the fur must also have a fur buyer licence. A licensed trapper cannot purchase furs from a non-licensed coyote hunter. Q: What is the cost of hunting and trapping licences now that fees have gone up? Effective April 1, 2017, the cost of a Saskatchewan resident hunting and trapping licence will increase by $10. There is also an increase of $5 for Wildlife Habitat Certificates. Canadian and non-resident hunting licence fees are also increasing and a new $50 wolf hunting licence will be made available to Saskatchewan residents. Fees for angling licences have also increased, as have fines for fishery and wildlife offences. Consult the 2017 Anglers’ Guide at saskatchewan.ca/fishing for specific changes to angling licence fees, and the Hunters’ and Trappers’ Guide when it becomes available later this year. Until next time, keep your licence handy and your rod tip up! Editor’s note: Ministry of Environment conservation officer Lindsey Leko has spent more than 25 years as a conservation officer in Saskatchewan. For many years, Officer Leko contributed a column to local papers on a variety of issues related to hunting, fishing, and other resource-related issues.
