Rallying behind local communities with snowmobiles

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

Local snowmobilers had all kinds of fun on Dec. 2 with both St. Benedict and St. Gertrude hosted their annual snowmobile rallies.

It was perfect weather for both events with bright sunny skies, above average temperatures and riders commenting that the trails were in good shape considering there isn’t a ton of snow on the ground.

St. Benedict The St. Benedict snowmobile rally started at 10 am with registration where snowmobilers were also invited to purchase poker hands. The hand cost $20 for three and each one of those three entered you into a draw to win a door prize.

The rally was well attended with approximately 200 riders taking part.

Community Centre President Lyle Lepsenyi said that the rally is very popular since St. Benedict is well known for having snow, with people coming from other parts of the country including Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and even Ontario.

The St. Benedict Community Centre hosted the event with proceeds going to pay for maintenance on the building.

The rally was able to raise about $5,000

for the centre.

Last year, the community centre began construction on a new roof, changing the old one from the flat design, used by the old school where the community centre is now, to a pitched roof.

After completing two thirds of the project, funds ran low and construction had to stop for the time being. Some of the money raised from this years rally will go towards completing that project.

In addition to the completion of the roof, the community centre will be using the money to replace the toilets and some of the light fixtures inside the building, while outside the building, they will be re-landscaping.

St. Benedict has been holding their annual snowmobile rally on the first Saturday in January for approximately 20 years, with the exception of years where the weather didn’t co-operate.

A couple years ago, Lepsenyi decided to hold a contest as part of the rally.

The contest was a vintage sled contest where participants were encouraged to bring in their vintage sled. Lepsenyi said the contest was really interesting because, “we had a pile of sleds here that were (vintage), I don’t think anybody had ever seen before,� he said.

The rally has sponsors from all over

There was target shooting setup at the St. Gertrude Poker Rally. From back to front in the picture are Walker Fitzpatrick, Nicole Fitzpatrick, Hudson Ilg and Hunter Hilbert. photo by Christopher Lee Northern Saskatchewan including Prince Albert, Humboldt, Melfort and the small towns around St. Benedict. The sponsors make different donations and the donations are used either as door prizes or as auction items.

Lepsenyi says he is really grateful for the support because, “people are more than willing to give to us.�

Without the sponsors the rally would not be as good, he says.

Lepsenyi would also like to thank the many volunteers. “That’s what keeps us going,� Lepsenyi said.

St. Gertrude About 75 kilometres down the highway, another snowmobile rally was taking place in St. Gertrude.

The event started at noon and featured approximately 50 – 70 snowmobilers.

On top of the rally they also sold poker hands and had a dance. There was also target-shooting setup where kids could shoot pebbles at targets using a slingshot.

Shauna Ilg, former president of the St. Gertrude Community Club and current member and volunteer, guessed that there was approximately 125 people for the dance as well.

“It’s nice to see the support of the whole area,� she said.

The St. Gertrude Community Club hosted the event with proceeds going to club.

The club doesn’t keep the money though, they just hold onto it until a need arises and then they donate some money to that need.

In the past the club has donated to families that lost their home in a fire, families with expensive medical bills and different community organizations among others.

The last donation made by the club was to the Muenster Playground Committee.

This year the club was able to raise over $2,100 dollars in poker hands. More was raised from food and beverage sales but until the bills are paid for that the total tally will not be known.

The rally started roughly 25 years ago as a fundraiser for a family in the community who needed to take their daughter to Toronto to have a procedure done.

It has kept the community together in later years, says Ilg. “It’s nice to know that if anybody in the area needs it, we have some money to help them out,� she said.

Year in review - January MMRP launch date postponed; no funding for REACT As a result of consultations, the government has made adjustments to the Multi-Material Recycling Program (MMRP) to make allowances for small and medium sized businesses. “So we have communicated theses changes to MMSW and as a result they are in the process of evaluating what these changes mean. They are also needing some time to amend contracts they have with their stewards and their municipalities.� Said Wes Kotyk, executive director of Environmental Protection branch for the Ministry of Environment.

Kotyk said the program will still move forward, so any businesses that aren’t exempt from under the latest

changes will still have to participate and register with MMSW. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean municipalities will get any of the planned funding, which poses quite a problem.

Author explores depths of Mennonite persecution Local author Janice Dick was at the Reid-Thompson Public Library in Humboldt to talk about her latest book, Other Side of the River on Jan 13.

The book was Dick’s fourth published novel and, like her first trilogy, is a piece of historical fiction that focuses on Mennonite people living in Russia.

Mennonites are close to Dick’s heart: that’s her family background and she grew up very interested in the stories.

Year in review - January Continued from page 2 Drivers learn new skills on skid collision course Discovery Ford Humboldt has a vested interest in the safe driving practices of its customers.

As such, they sponsored a skid collision course for the community and their customers from Jan. 13-23. “I got really excited about the (Skid Smart Collision Avoidance Program) because all of us could sharpen our winter driving skills, no matter

how many years you’ve been on the road,� said Discovery Ford marketing manager, Mary Jane Gagnon.

The program was divided up into two courses: an in-school theory portion and then a practical. The practical is where people had the most fun as it involved going out onto the course with their cars and putting what they learned to the test in a series of controlled exercises.

Skiers congregate for Sask. Cup Race

Tucked away in the quiet snowy hills on the outskirts of Humboldt, the Carlton Trail Ski Club was bustling with activity on Jan. 26. Skiers from all across the province traveled there just so they could partake in the Saskatchewan Cup Race.

There were various components of the race to meet the needs and skill levels of the skiers, who ranged in age from four all the way up to mid-sixties. Some trails were longer for older and more experienced skiers while the young-

er skiers had a shorter course to traverse.

Martinuk had been expecting about 50-100 participants, but that number fell shy with a total count of 38.

Regardless of the absences, Martinuk said they had skiers traveling in from as far as Creighton and Flin Flon.

Year in review - February Newfoundland musician braves cold for performance Traditional singer Matthew Byrne performed sea shanties and other Newfoundland folk songs at the Backwoods Bed and Breakfast in Annaheim on Feb. 1 as part of the Home Routes circuit.

Home Routes is a program that organizes house concerts throughout Canada. Hosts sign up and are responsible for promoting the event and providing the space. Artists go on pre-determined routes, performing in a smaller, more intimate venue.

Perhaps assuming that the residents of a landlocked province wouldn’t be intimately acquainted with different sea and boat terminology, Byrne introduced each song with the story behind it and an explanation of some of the terms, such as “dogfish� (a type of shark) and “cross handed� (a method of rowing).

A whimsical look at sports in 2016

By Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

A look ahead to the world of sports in 2016: January: After reams of criticism levelled at the National Football League in the wake of the movie ’Concussion’, Commissioner Roger Goodell threatens to start “bopping people on the head with something really heavy” if they don’t drop the subject.

February: The Arizona Cardinals win the first Super Bowl in franchise history, beating New England Patriots when Tom Brady throws a lastsecond interception at the goalline.

“Why didn’t they just run it in?” asks everyone, including Russell Wilson, watching the game from his Seattle home.

March: Connor McDavid of the

Oilers plays his 10th game since returning from a broken collarbone suffered in November, pots his 33rd, 34th, 35th and 36th goals of the season against Calgary — his third four-goal game in the last six starts — and locks up the rookie-of-the-year award.

April: Tiger Woods returns to competitive golf by teeing it up at the Masters in Augusta, Ga., shoots his age (40) for the front nine and again on the back (40) and withdraws, citing a laundry list of ailments (back, knee, glutes, ankle, old age).

May: The curling season finally ends with the eighth and final Grand Slam event, the Champions Cup at Sherwood Park, Alta. The date is May 1.

That leaves only June, July and August without major curling events, leading Hockey to say, ”What’s with the long season?”

June: Rory McIlroy wins the U.S. Open, giving him the first two legs of golf’s Grand Slam and then calls off his engagement to Erica Stoll. “Hey, dumping a future wife worked out for me the last time,” he said.

July: Former Eskimos’ coach Chris Jones, given total control of the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ operation, announces he is banning watermelons from Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field and is shocked when only 427 fans show up for the Riders’ first home game.

August: The world’s best athletes arrive in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the Olympics and Canadian sprinter An-

dre De Grasse stuns the world with a 9.72-second time for a gold medal in the 100 metres. Somewhere, Ben Johnson weeps.

September: The Blue Jays wrap up fourth place in the A.L. East, and Jose Bautista flips his bat — in anger.

October: Los Angeles Dodgers, with their nearly $300 million payroll, win the World Series and announce that “contrary to popular belief, money can indeed buy happiness.”

November: The Riders miss the CFL playoffs and watermelon growers dump 49 truckloads of unsold product at the Taylor Field entrance.

December: A man resembling Roger Goodell is seen fleeing a Hollywood film studio after four movie executives are left bruised and bleeding after being bopped on the head with an Academy Award statuette.

Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Harlem Globetrotters icon Meadowlark Lemon died recently at age 83. Something tells us St. Peter just got a bucket of confetti dumped on his head.”

Washington Post reader Roger Lucas in a question to columnist Norman Chad: “Should Jerry Jones ask the NFL to have Steve Harvey present the Lombardi Trophy so the Cowboys would have a chance?”

Comedy writer Bill Williams: “Jeff Gordon, NASCAR driver has retired from racing. His first week at home wasn’t so smooth. His wife gave him a stop-and-go penalty for leaving the toilet seat up.”

Jim Barach of WCHS-TV in Charleston, W.Va., on the hazardous water readings at the Rio Olympic sites: “There hasn’t been that much

chemical contamination found in a body of water since Barry Bonds peed in his pool.”

Bob Molinaro of thevirginianpilot. com, on Twitter: “Among notable sports figures of 2015, American Pharoah and Seahawks battering ram Marshawn Lynch tied for first for fewest memorable utterances.”

Randy Turner of the Winnipeg Free Press (@randyturned15) on Twitter: “I’m not saying the NHL Jets are shorthanded a lot but their penalty box now has Netflix.”

Blogger Chad Picasner, on the Aroldis Chapman trade: “The Yanks are the proud owners of a flame-throwing left-handed reliever. They’ve also acquired a player with a history of woman-beating. Unfortunately, it’s the same person.”

Brad Dickson of the Omaha WorldHerald: “I am close to coming up with hard proof that there was only one Rose Bow Parade and is re-run on TV every year.”

Dickson again: “Chip Kelly to the Philadelphia Eagles: ‘This Christmas bonus sucks’.”

TC in BC: “In a series of new ads, the NBA has enlisted stars Carmelo Anthony, Steph Curry and Chris Paul to speak about gun control. No word on whether they can find any players to address birth control.”

Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “Dallas Cowboys owner and GM Jerry Jones says he doesn’t plan any major changes going into 2016. Which is awesome news. For comedy writers and the rest of the NFC LEast.”

What does the crystal ball say for 2016?

Calvin Daniels At this time of year everyone tends to take a look into a crystal ball for a glimpse of what may lie ahead for the new year.

While there are always mists of uncertainty surrounding such a look, sort of like the rabbit ears’ reception on an old black and white television, this year’s view is not one most are going to be happy with.

The world had been

enjoying some 10 years of commodity prices buoying the overall economy.

Prices for iron ore to make steel, gas to fire industry, and as a result most other commodities taken along for the ride, have seen some record highs over the past decade, and in general terms steadily high prices.

That was until 2015, when the commodity market slipped into a standstill, and without the momentum of the recent past, prices began to roll back like a boulder up a hill when those pushing it up the incline became too tired to take it higher.

In this case the pusher of commodity prices had been China.

China’s industrial growth, which was the

driving force for commodities such as iron ore and oil, ground to a halt.

Without what had been near double digit growth numbers for years, that country’s appetite for more and more raw materials disappeared in 2015, and frankly there was nowhere else in the world capable of buffering the system against that decline.

In very real terms commodity prices were a case of having all their eggs in one basket, with China the basket, and it simply broke.

One report throughout the news agency Reuters had iron ore prices tumbling by 40 per cent in 2015 due to global oversupply and shrinking Chinese steel demand.

In coal, thermal prices fell almost a third in 2015.

Copper and zinc shed a quarter of their value, and nickel collapsed more than 40 per cent.

If that doesn’t sound regressing, it should, as the prospect for a recovery in 2016 seems remote.

For Canada, a country so reliant on commodity exports the hit is rather direct.

Here on the Prairies we feel the impact of low oil prices in reduced jobs in the sector, and the loss of buying power because of it, which hits the retail sector.

Potash has not been immune to the commodity decline, with a mine in Eastern Canada simply shutting its doors.

The result is a Canadian dollar that is tumbling like a Hungarian par-

tridge winged in hunting season.

That does help bolster exports to the United States, a key market for Canadian pork, beef and a range of other products, but there is a point where too low a dollar impacts consumers in a very negative way as in store items reflect the low dollar. We already see that on items such as books.

We are also going to see the impact of the low commodity prices when it comes to revenue expectations in provincial budgets on the Prairies in 2016.

And the low dollar will not be a friend in those budgets either.

So we can expect austere budgets provincially, and federally, more red ink than many are going

to be happy with.

Now a slight positive is that agricultural commodities have not declined to the same degree as oil and minerals.

However, ag products do not operate in a vacuum independent of other commodities either, so the general drag will make any 2016 rallies harder to kick start, unless there are major weather issues at play.

So farmers are going to find themselves hoping that prices can dig in and hold the line, which is likely the most optimistic vision one will have with a crystal ball.

In the end farmers, like most of us, will need to batten down the hatches, because it looks like there will be some rough economic waters ahead this year.

Making resolutions more achievable

By Dr. Megan Parker, ND Health Columnist

A new year often signifies a time of new beginnings. New growth, new goals, new adventures.

A common tradition is to set New Year’s Resolutions. Many people are hoping to make changes to their health and overall well-being. They are choosing to make their life better in some large or small way.

Almost 50 per cent of people make some sort of commitment to make a positive change for the coming year.

People often question whether those who set New Year’s resolutions are actually successful with their changes.

Dr. John Norcross and his team of researchers at the University of Scranton looked to answer this very question. They surveyed 400 people and compared those who were making New Year’s resolutions and those who contemplated making change, but at another time of year.

The contemplators making change not at new years were 51 per cent successful after two weeks, but only four per cent were still successful after six months.

In the New Year’s resolution group, 71 per cent were successful after two weeks and 46 per cent were still successful after six months.

In this particular study, people were 10 times more successful if they made a change at New Year’s. The study may be a bit of an overestimate to reality, but this still shows a significantly higher success rate with our goals when we set them as resolutions.

When setting resolutions, one way to improve the likelihood we will stick to these commitments is to focus on setting SMART goals.

SMART goals are a way of making our resolutions easier to track and monitor, ultimately making us more successful. When setting SMART goals we want to focus on the following attributes: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timely.

Let me give you an example.

A common new year ’s resolution is ‘to lose weight.’ Great! Losing excess weight can have significant improvements on our health and overall well-being.

But, that statement is very vague and general and can be interpreted in numerous ways and how will we will know when or if we are successful.

Now, let’s turn that into a SMART goal: “To lose ten pounds of body weight by March 31, 2016.�

Phrased in this way, the goal is very specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely; hence, a SMART goal. We have a way of knowing when we have been successful and tools in place to help us reach that goal.

Often when thinking of making changes to their health, people always assume you must make big changes to see the benefits. But that is not the truth.

Small changes often have the highest success rates.

Smaller goals are easier to attain and the steps to reach them are less daunting than large goals.

We can see greater success when we set small goals and celebrate small victories. It is also important to have steps in place to facilitate our goals and tools for self-monitoring.

2015 screen adaptations make for literary revivals

By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

When looking for a good read, the staff at Reid-Thompson Public Library are always there to help.

So I went to them to find out what were people reading in 2015.

Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken was a good read for Librarian Rose Ward.

Even though it was published in 2010, its popularity was renewed this year when the movie came out at the end of December 2014.

It is a very sad story, says Ward, but it is also a true story about someone who has persevered.

As with many other book to movie adaptations, the movie does not do the book justice, says Ward.

Much of the book was lost in translation. To get the full experience of what Louis Zamperini went through as a WWII prisoner of war, people have to pick up the book. “In order for the movie to make any sense, you had to read the book.�

Says Ward.

Another big screen adaptation that made their literary versions popular again were The Martian, which grossed $594.1 million at the box office while the book has spent 31 weeks on

the New York Times Bestsellers list and is still at the number 2 spot for the week of Jan.10.

Assistant Librarian Norine Mann had two big picks of the year; Paula Hawkins’ The Girl on the Train and Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale.

The novel version of The Girl on the Train was released in January 2015 and has already spent 47 weeks on the New York Times Bestsellers list as of Jan. 10.

The psychological thriller will be coming out in theatres this September.

The Girl on the Train sees a woman pretending to go to work everyday by train after losing her job. She sees something happen to a familiar couple she sees on the train.

Mann says it is very thrilling. “You don’t really know what’s going to happen until the end where they throw yet another twist at you.�

It kept you guessing, says Mann.

Written from a female perspective, The Nightingale revolves around WWII occupation of a small town in France and the effect it has on two sisters who are forced to take in a German colonel Female authors and female points of view are not seen very often, says Mann. The story itself gave a new

view on World War II from the point of women left to fight their own battles and tend to their own relationships.

It is about the relationship between the sisters, says Mann, who has two very different perspectives and how to survive occupation. The younger of the sisters takes on a more active role as a resistance fighter while the older sister is left to wonder about her soldier husband and tend to her children.

A lot of popular reads in 2015 were staples that are always popular with certain age groups, says Ward.

Danielle Steele and the western genre are always popular with older readers, while middle aged readers are still reading James Patterson, who

S ANSWER E FROM TH PUZZLES IN LAST WEEKS EAST CENTRAL TRADER

CROSSWORD

had 17 new releases in 2015 according to his website.

Children who came into the library, not just in 2015 but for all time, will always be drawn to Dr.Suess and Robert Munsch. “There is no getting away from those two authors.� Says Ward.

Some of the titles that Ward found interesting included Dr. Suess’s new book, What Pet Should I Get. “There is no getting away from reading a Dr. Suess book once in awhile.�

Dr. Suess books have a model, says Ward. What Pet Should I Get is all about decision making. “There is always a secret message involved.�

NDP leader discusses agriculture

By Devan C. Tasa Tisdale Recorder Editor

The leader of the province’s New Democrats said that in the upcoming election, his party will be saying government needs to be responsive to farm families.

Cam Broten discussed the end of the legislative session and his party’s plans for the April 4 election in a conference call with community newspaper reporters Dec. 15.

The NDP leader said that agriculture is important to the province.

“We need to make sure we’re taking

the right steps for family farms, that we have the right programs in place and the right opportunities there,” he said. “It’s also about having the right supports in these communities to support farm families.”

That means that issues like education and healthcare are as equally important to rural families as they are to urban ones.

“It’s [about] making sure that the programs and the initiatives that are in place are responsive and are there to support farm families like they should be,” Broten said.

One of those initiatives the NDP leader mentioned was about finding a solution to the water drainage issues faced by some sections of the province. The other one is to find a long-term solution to the grain transportation crisis. Broten said the governing Saskatchewan Party and the previous federal Conservative government were too soft to the transportation companies.

“There needs to be clear expectations given to the grain companies in terms of how much they should be moving.

We need to look at things like joint run-

ning rights to increase the capacity on the rails,” he said. “We just need a much stronger approach taken with the rail companies than what we’ve seen.”

In other economic matters, Broten also answered questions about the downturn in the oil industry, saying that while his heart goes out to those affected and that the province has no control over oil prices, the provincial government needs to be smarter in terms of diversifying the economy, focusing on green jobs, the film industry and providing more education within the province.

Year in review - February Continued from page 4 Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said that research is important to remain a major player in the agriculture sector.

Industry partner organizations contributed $4.6 million in funding to be distributed to the projects including, for both crop and livestock research, Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission, Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, SaskMilk, and Sask Pork. $3.8 million is designated for livestock and forage research, while $6.9 million is going to crop research. The numbers are about average for what the Saskatchewan government designates for research every year.

EMS charity fundraiser another resounding success The Humboldt Emergency Services held their annual fundraiser event Feb. 7 and it was another raging success. Represented that evening were the Humboldt Fire Department, the RCMP, and the Ambulance Service.

The band playing that night was The Capitals. There

was a door prize and raffled and auctioned prizes that included the infamous beer wagon (donated by JayDee AgTech), which was won by staff sergeant Phil Wilson.

There were also the usual awards and recognition to be handed out, including the annual Firefighter of the Year award and the firefighter service awards. This year’s Firefighter of the Year was awarded to Braeden Campbell not just for his dedicated service, but also for his perfect attendance at the biweekly practices.

Leveling out living conditions of Affordable Housing The Saskatchewan government is finally doing a revamp of its housing programs by shifting the Affordable Housing program to the Social Housing program.

In doing so, the government says the system will be simpler and fairer.

“It makes sense to have one housing program that makes it easier and more affordable for households in need,” said Saskatchewan Housing Corporation Board Chair, Keith Hanson, in a news release. “This transition will result in significant reductions in monthly rents for hundreds of Saskatchewan seniors, families and indi-

viduals and will convert 2,700 housing units for people who need them the most.”

“Social housing takes into account your income, family circumstances – such as disabilities – how many children you have, seniors (dependent on you), if you’re fleeing from a violent situation, etc. It takes it all into account and (then housing is given) to those most in need,” said Donna Harpauer, Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation.

Yorkton’s Inglis sweeps away the competition Watrous was the host of this year’s Senior Curling Provincial Championships on Feb. 11-15. One of the curlers advancing to the Canadian Championships is Yorkton’s Cathy Inglis, who will be attending the competition for the second time.

Inglis’ rink, played seven other teams, losing one game to Lorraine Arguin of Moose Jaw. Inglis’s team defeated Wadena’s Delores Syrota in the semifinals to advance to the finals against Arguin again. This time they were victorious.

Clint Hunker, who teaches painting. McConnell estimates the exhibit has been a Humboldt institution for about 10 years now.

The pieces were by drawing or painting students, but within those two categories are multiple media displayed by the 24 pieces, such as charcoal and pencil, acrylic paints, and

The exhibit ran in the Humboldt Gallery until March 27.

Naicam Vikings host Christmas themed mock wedding

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

Santa and Mrs. Claus got married again. The Naicam Vikings Senior Hockey Team held a mock wedding at the Quill Lake Hall on Dec. 26.

The wedding featured a cast of unique characters including Santa and Mrs. Claus getting married, their wedding party, which included elves as the bridesmaids and an elf, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, the Gingerbread Man and Frosty the Snowman as the groomsmen.

On top of the unique characters in the wedding and the party there was also a Christmas Tree as the officiant, a bear as the ring-”bear”er and Jesus giving Mrs. Claus away.

The Christmas Tree welcomed everyone to the event and began the proceedings. The wedding party was then called out and made their grand entrance.

Finally, Jesus lead Mrs. Claus to the alter and the wedding began.

The ceremony was certainly not your typical wedding, which included witty vows and funny remarks from the tree, all of which was aimed for a young to mid-adult audience.

Like your typical wedding, the ceremo-

After the wedding commenced the party made their walk down the aisle and the party began. The dance floor was opened up and the crowd had a good time.

From 1990-2010, the Vikings held the Boxing Day cabaret, so Naicam Vikings President and Head Coach Chris Beaudry and the team decided to bring it back

with a flare.

The mock wedding was an idea spawned by Beaudry, who also organized the event, after he saw and heard about other ones similar to theirs. He said he wanted to tie in the theme of the wedding and the theme of ugly Christmas sweater parties, which is where all the characters came from.

Beaudry thought that by mixing the two parties it might attract a few more people.

He said that plan didn’t quite work as well as they had hoped, since the crowd was smaller than they expected, but he said it was still a fun event with a supportive and well-mannered crowd.

“There were no fights...things went over quite well. Everybody was pretty pleased with the way things were,” he said.

Beadury said the Vikings were able to raise approximately $4,000 for their hockey club.

The team uses the funds raised from the event for hockey operations, which includes paying for ice time, paying the referees, and travel expenses for games and tournaments, among others.

Depending on the year and the length of their season, the team requires between $30,000 and $50,000 to operate, quite an expensive bill for a small town team.

The fundraising efforts from this night, those done during other events and 50-50 done at the games help cover the costs.

“Without the support of the community we wouldn’t be able to run a team,” Beaudry said.

Year in Review - March Continued from page 6 The downside of the artists traveling to rural places is that sometimes they have to deal with not-ideal road conditions.

Alberta-based musician, Ben Sures, was driv-

ing to the Backwoods Bed and Breakfast in Annaheim to perform a house concert on March 3 when he got stuck in a snow drift.

“The directions I had were to come up a gravel road and because of all the

snow drifts, it turns at one point and I thought ‘I’ve been given instructions to come this way, should be fine,’” said Sures. “I had a couple of kilometres to go and got stuck.’”

He ended up calling 911 and the local RCMP showed up to help him out; not an auspicious start to his Home Routes tour.

Telemiracle 39 raises more than $4 million It was a weekend to remember as Telemiracle’s 39th edition not only raised more than $4 million, but also said goodbye to one of its most iconic hosts: Bob McGrath.

Except for one year, 82-year-old McGrath has been hosting the province-wide telethon since its inception in 1977.

His decision was so momentous that the City of Saskatoon even declared March 8 as Bob McGrath Day last month.

Aside from McGrath’s announcement, the performances went off without a hitch. Around 1,200 volunteers, Kinettes, and staff were on site throughout the weekend to get prepared and keep things running smoothly.

Watrous Music Festival hits the right note Though the Watrous Music Festival is smaller now than in previous

Magic, mystery and marvels: a magician comes to Watrous Card tricks, linking ringas, and a straitjacket escape were just a few of the things the audience saw at the Watrous Civic Centre when Canadian magician Sheldon Casavant performed there on March 13.

At one point, he performed a trick involving a disappearing napkin and then proceeded to explain the trick to the audience.

Year in Review - April Revenue sharing income means upgrades for Humboldt and area After all the insecurity and wondering, the revelation of the provincial budget means municipalities can breathe a sigh of relief as they will be receiving their cuts from the revenue sharing program.

Humboldt will be getting just over $1.2 million, which is 176 per cent more than the city received last year.

Other towns and villages are also up considerably. Muenster, for example, will be getting $96,596, which is more than the $36,762 they got last year.

Quill Lake is getting 113 per cent more than their previous $43,973 and Wadena is getting $159,113 more this year as well.

Overall, the province’s revenue sharing funding is up a total of 108 per cent.

Watrous gets a taste of PEAR On a bright Sunday afternoon on Mar. 29, more than a few people were gathered inside the Watrous Civic Center to hear the musical performance of the world-renowned band, PEAR. The couple, Lynae and Denis Dufresne, used their guitar, fiddle and vocal talents to perform their own blend of country, pop, and alternative. In their own words, their music is “sweet and gritty.” “(When we say ‘sweet and gritty’) I guess we’re talking about the sweet vocals and harmonies and our gritty (rocking) instrumental work,” said Lynae in an email response. “It really was more a play on our attitudes as well. I’m the sweet one (depending on the day) and Denis is the gritty one.”

spring, St. Brieux School chose the right time to start a Free the Children fundraising campaign.

The Me to We student volunteers are selling rain barrels for $60 each, which will then go towards the school they’re trying to have built in Kenya.

The barrels come in different colours and come equipped with the parts you need to set it up. As part of the fundraiser, people can also choose to purchase accessories like water spigots or hoses. Since the barrels were once used to transport fruit and veggies, they are capable of keeping water fresh.

The rust was the consequence of sitting an entire summer in the fields of England come rain or shine. And though its journey began halfway across the world, its story began where the journey ended:

in Saskatchewan.

“Everything has a little bit of a story behind it, a little history. But I find what I like most about history is it’s not the big things that matter a whole bunch; it’s those little things that tell a story,” said Garry Jenkins, the gentleman who donated the poppy.

Jenkins received the poppy about a month ago from his cousin who lives in England.

Calico wins big at provincials Calico gymnasts 2015 competitive season came to a close with a bang: competitors took home 21 awards during provincials in Moose Jaw on April 9 and 10. This included 17 medals, three choreography awards, and one team award.

“I could not have asked for a better way to finish off the competitive season and my last year coaching at Calico,” said their coach, Daisy Hart. “I am so proud of every single one of the athletes who competed this weekend.

Watrous decides to “Just Dance” in annual festival The 22nd annual Watrous Dance Festival concluded on April 19 and showcased 655 different entries from a variety of dance styles, including ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, acro, modern, and lyrical.

Dance students from 5-19 years of age participated in the festival.

The festival gets dance students from all over the province, such as Watrous, Saskatoon, and Humboldt, the farthest students coming from Kerrobert.

Naicam Music Festival ends on a good note It’s been 50 years since the first Naicam Music Festival began, and now after several years of discussion, it has come to a close with a week of competition and celebration from April 12 to 17.

“We are all getting older and no one is stepping up to replace some of the key positions that are needed. There are no new teachers coming up and when we look to the future, we could see what would happen so we thought we would go out with a bang,” said Vi Cann, a founding member who has been involved for all 50 years.

To this end, organizers

Year in Review - May Dancers step on stage for annual festival in Humboldt Apr. 25-26 saw the return of the 18th annual OnStage Dance Festival, which hosted over 1,300 dancers from various communities.

“Even with the bad weather on Sunday … the excitement and momentum continued on

with really no hindrance to the roster of events that continued,” said Cori Norman, the main organizer of the event and the person who started it 18 years ago. “The Uniplex was full of dancers, the excitement mounted as the days progressed, the gold ticket recipients battled it out at the final competition.”

Each dance was only a

had scarves and pens made up for participants, door prizes, decorated the hall, and had an anniversary cake at the final concert on April 17.

Nature Conservancy of Canada announces purchase of Quill Lakes-area land The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) in Saskatchewan has bought 460 acres in the Quill Lakes area and recently announced the land’s conservation.

The organization works to protect ecologically valuable land that has been left in its natural state.

“That property has quite extensive coverage of … wetlands,” said Cameron Wood, area manager with the NCC. “It’s incredibly valuable for waterfowl and shorebirds.”

In addition, he said the property helps to replace habitat that is underwater due to the Quill Lakes flooding.

Conserving it ensures that the property will be left the way it is.

The organization uses science-based planning to determine which areas should be conserved – generally, either the area has a large portion of its landbase left intact or is valuable to biodiversity and wildlife.

Manitou Beach is the place to be for tourists Fortune smiled on Manitou twice this year as two businesses from the community won awards from the 26th annual Saskatchewan Tourism Awards of Excellence. Manitou Springs Resort and Mineral Spa won the Business of the Year Award and Arnold and Millie Strueby of Danceland won the Chairman’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

The resort has been a finalist three times, but this is the first time they actually won. Hayter attributes that to the work they did on their dining room.

Originally, it was leased to a third party, but Hayter said neither the food nor the service was meeting expectations.

Hayter said their staff took it over and improved service and food.

As for Arnold and Millie Strueby, the honour couldn’t have come at a better time. They put Danceland up for sale last year, so this is a great way for them to say goodbye.

Due to Mr. Strueby’s failing health and their advancing age, Mrs. Strueby said the responsibilities of running Danceland has become too much for them. She’s been forced to shoulder most of the work.

Nevertheless, until the

facility is sold, their main goal will remain the same.

“The most important person in our business is the person who walks through our door for any reason at all and I guess you can call him the tourist,” she said.

Lanigan Pirates win SHA senior A championship The Lanigan Pirates of the Long Lake Hockey League captured the 2015 SHA Provincial Senior A Championship by winning the best of three Final series two games to one over the Bethune Bulldogs of the HiWay League.

Lanigan won the first game of the Final series at home by coming from behind to win 4-3 when Brent Twordik tied the score with his second goal of the game with 2:11 left in the third period, and Brandon Herrod scored the winner on the power play with 2.1 seconds left on the clock.

COQUET: Dominique Clement Jr. Jan. 21, 1928 - Dec. 22, 2015 The death of Mr. Dominique Clement Coquet, Jr. of Chateau Providence, St. Brieux, SK, occurred at his residence on Tuesday, December 22, 2015.

He was 87 years of age. Dominique was born on Saturday, January 21, 1928, to Dominique Sr. and Josephine (nee Rocher) Coquet at home on their farm in the St. Brieux district. He grew up there and attended Tillie School. Following his education, Dominique worked on the family farm. He also took an auto body course in Winnipeg and, upon completion of his training, worked for A.B.C. in Melfort and then at Dube Garage in St. Brieux for a number of years during the winter months and farmed the rest of the year. On July 4, 1970, Dominique married Frances (nee Schmitz) Bodo. Dominique retired from farming in the late 1970s but still enjoyed tinkering in his shop. His pride and joy was his restored 1954 Chev truck. Dominique was also an avid curler and the team he curled with even succeeded in playing in the Northern Playdowns for several years, which was a real thrill. Other favorite pastimes included playing cards with family and friends, and travelling with Frances during the winters, going to a new place each year. In January 2012, due to failing health, Dominique became a resident of Chateau Providence. Dominique will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his wife of 45 years, Frances (nee Schmitz) Coquet; three step-children, eight step-grandchildren, 16 step-greatgrandchildren, and two step-great-great-grandchildren: Patricia (Joe) Leray and their family, Darcy (Colin) Jones and children Kayla (Jeremy) Hawryluk and their children Hunter and Damon, Riley, and Curtis; Blaine Leray; and Ashley (Stephanie) Leray; Josie Gallays and their family, Allison (Todd) Hedin and children Blake and Aislyn; Jesse (Heather) Gallays and children Aubrey and Paisley; and Robynn (Mike) Silzer and children Joel and Iyla; Edward (Tara) Bodo and their family, Jason (Teresa) Bodo and children Brooklyn, Kylie, and Kristen; and Clayton (Ann-Marie) Bodo and children Preston, Layne, Ryland, and Grayson; three sisters: Louise Coquet, Agnes (Albert) Wurfel, and Martha Rehe; and by numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Dominique Sr. and Josephine (nee Rocher) Coquet; four brothers and three sisters: Joseph (Dorothy) Coquet, Maurice (Helen) Coquet, Laurent Coquet, Henry Coquet, Solange (Louis) Pirio, Madeleine (John) Janke, and Helene (Wayne) Sheldon; and by brother-in-law, John Rehe.

The Funeral Mass for Dominique was held at St. Brieux R.C. Church, St. Brieux, on Tuesday, December 29, 2015, at 2:00 p.m., celebrated by Fr. George Canto. Others taking part were: Heather Gallays, crossbearer; Robynn Silzer and Sarah Coquet, scripture readers; Anita Pirio, intentions; Agnes and Al Wurfel, giftbearers; members of the Chateau Providence Auxiliary, memorial table attendants.

WEISGERBER: Betty Jul. 6, 1929 - Dec. 16, 2015 The sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. Betty (nee Wingert) Weisgerber of Saskatoon, SK, (and formerly of LeRoy, SK), occurred at her residence on Wednesday, December 16, 2015. She was 86 years of age.

Betty was born on July 6, 1929, at home on the family farm west of LeRoy. She was the eldest child of George and Sarah â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lillyâ&#x20AC;? (nee Bosquet) Wingert and granddaughter of John and Louise (nee Rosebottom) Wingert and Tom and Mollie (nee Hall) Bosquet. Betty grew up on the farm and attended Spring Grove School. On March 30, 1948, she married the love of her life, Jack Weisgerber. Eight children, four sons and four daughters, were born to them. Betty and Jack farmed three miles east of LeRoy until 1952, when they moved into town.

The family moved to Saskatoon in 1970. Betty worked at Del Haven Lodge until her retirement in 1994, and continued to manage Mexicana Apartments until moving to her home on 7th Street in 1990. A final move was made to St. Volodymyr Villa in October 2012. We were truly blessed to have had this five foot giant in our lives. She always looked her best ... whether she was getting ready to go to a family wedding, baking a fresh pan of cinnamon buns, or sewing a new quilt for one of her grandchildren. She had a twinkle in her eye, a smile on her face and a glow in her heart that made it impossible for you not to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;HIâ&#x20AC;? back to the person who was just moments away from becoming your life-long friend.

Mom loved being around people. She was what we call a â&#x20AC;&#x153;people personâ&#x20AC;? ... whether she was out getting groceries or on a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment she chatted-up everyone. You could give her a call and ask her what she was up to. Her reply was: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh I went for a blood test today ... I met this nice lady in the waiting room and she told meâ&#x20AC;? ... and the story began. Mom had a memory like a steel trap; she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to write things down or go in and get re-chipped - she remembered it all. That was because she cared. She wanted to know you - who you were, where you were from, what you did, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your 2nd cousin and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. She came from a family of six, had eight children of her own, 23 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, many relatives, friends and neighbors. Grammaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extended family list was limitless. She remembered everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday, anniversary, where you lived, how many kids and grandkids you had, when someone died, and how many fish you caught the long weekend of May 1980. She even knew how many cats you had, their names and how long you had them. Mom remembered more about the story that you had just told than you did ... she was the story behind the story. We all have a memory of a trip with Gramma ... Waterton, Calgary, Vancouver Island, Hawaii, Mexico, Toronto, Yellowknife, Emma Lake, Good Spirit Lake ... the list goes on. We drove her hard, but she wanted to keep up and keep up she did! Such great memories. She hated to miss anything. Some might say she was nosey; she looked at it as just being involved. Gramma Betty was a glass half-full person and she worked hard to keep our glass brimmed to the top and was forever grateful to all who helped fill hers. Gramma was a caregiver, she made everyone her own, even our pets. She took care of you whether you wanted her to or not, family or friend (she had no foes). Her home was a human SPCA - she welcomed you in, fed you, fluffed you up and helped you on your merry way. Mom was a caring caregiver throughout her life but, on occasion, even a caregiver needs a little help. So we say Thank You to all of Grammaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caregivers, especially the last few months. Without your love, help and support Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life would have been a lot different. Mom tried to make the world a better place for everyone she met. Job well done! We are all better persons because we had the great fortune of having her in our lives. These are but a few things we will ALWAYS remember about our beloved Betty. You were one of kind. You will be forever in our hearts and will think of you often. We are just so thankful that you were our Mom. You gave it your best, but now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for a well-deserved rest ... God Bless You Mom! Thank you from all of us. She will be lovingly remembered by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren: James (Carol) Weisgerber and family, Christine (Josh) Ross [Samuel, Niklas and Nathan], Grant Weisgerber (Carli Fox) [Clare and Nora]; Joan (Wayne) Thoen and family, Perry (Tara) Thoen [Preston and Alexa], Koren (Randy) ven der Buhs [Caitlin], Lori (Scott) Schuster [Raeya]; David (Darlene Derow) Weisgerber and family, Nathan Weisgerber (Katie Wasylynka), Grahme Weisgerber, Travis Weisgerber, Jordan Weisgerber (Julianna Pickering); Patrick Weisgerber (Shirley McIntosh) and family, Lee (Amber) Weisgerber [Skye and Roman], Sean Weisgerber (Laura Boehme), Jay (Tammie) Wingert [Jessie], Nelson Wingert, and Bryce McIntosh; Steve (Debbie) Weisgerber and family, Tyler (Nikita) Weisgerber [Hunter], and Renae (Jake) Bundred; Deborah (Brad) Steeves and family, Alison (Curtis) Schwindt, and John Steeves; Shelley (Charles) Buchanan and family, Jada and Kenya Buchanan; and Sharon (Ron) Thiessen and family, Tanner, Brett, and Cole Thiessen; two sisters and two brothers: Marjorie Hicks, Jean Barrie, Gerald (Mona) Wingert, and Glen (Debbie) Wingert; sister-in-law, Mary MacDonald; and many nieces and nephews.

Year in Review - May Continued from page 11 Annual festival music to the city’s ears It’s springtime again, which means music students from around the region are coming to Humboldt to participate in the 78th annual music festival.

There are three different events occurring over a three week period: the piano competition ran from April 20-23; vocal, choral, and speech arts from April 27-30; and band, strings, and guitar on May 4 and 5.

Participants range in age from six to 18.

There are 480 entries this year.

Students come from Englefeld, Naicam, Bruno, Middle Lake, Lake Lenore, Humboldt, and Muenster.

HCAA 2015 Recognition Awards The following individuals were recognized at the Horizon Central Athletic Association (HCAA) Spring Meeting on April 23 for their outstanding contributions to school athletics programs. Winners included: Brent Stewart (Cudworth School), Cory Popoff & Dave Rowe (Humboldt Collegiate Institute), Amber Guenther (Kelvington High School), Wendi Collins & Ryan Wilson(Lanigan Central High School), and Bonnie Flahr (Raymore School) Zhvavi brings Ukraine to Humboldt and area It was a packed house on the evening of May 8 at St. Dominic’s gym for the first annual Ukrainian dance recital to take place in Humboldt after many years.

“There were well over 200 people here; it was a surprise,” said Lorelle Holowaty, president of the ZHVAVI UKRAINIAN DANCERS, the troupe that performed.

“I made a joke when I first started this club about this being a mainly German community, but obviously this community has welcomed Ukrainian dance back.”

The dancers ranged in age from teenage level to as young as five, but all were taught by the same woman: 20-year-old Gabrielle Sawitsky. The students came from all over the region, including Naicam, Watson, Englefeld and Humboldt. They were also fortunate that St. Dominic lent the gym to them for their practices and final recital free of charge.

Middle Lake student receives $4K in scholarship grant It came as a pleasant surprise for Morgan Heidecker when she found out she was the recipient of the $4,000

grand prize agricultural scholarship for her video application.

The money that Heidecker received was part of $10,000 that was given out by Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart to four students from across the province.

Mitch Dorge doesn’t treat students like Dummies Muenster students got to see a presentation by drummer Mitch Dorge of the Crash Test Dummies on May 12 – yes, he did play the drums, but he wasn’t there for a concert. Instead, he talked to students about the importance of chasing your dreams and making good life choices. He also spoke at schools in Annaheim, Lake Lenore, LeRoy, Quill Lake, and Watson.

Renos are a go at Nokomis School Nokomis School is getting an upgrade with the help of $100,000 from the province for its renovation project.

The planned renovations include demolishing the gym, two classrooms, a student space and two washrooms, and converting the library and resource room into a multi-purpose room, while moving the library elsewhere.

The remaining classrooms and student spaces will be maintained.

The spaces being demolished weren’t being used by students and the gym hasn’t been used since 2012.

Watrous native wins big prize In April, Watrous writer Sherri Benning was named a runner-up in this year’s Canada Writes competition, run by CBC. The win comes with a prize of $1,000 and publication on the website – not bad for the first entering of the contest.

Her story is about two brothers who go rabbit hunting after a difficult morning on the farm; Benning didn’t have to dig deep to get the inspiration for the story.

PARTY program day serious business for students This year, the program took place on May 21 at the Humboldt Uniplex. Students from Annaheim, Bruno, Englefeld, Lake Lenore, LeRoy, Middle Lake and Watson are invited, while the students from Humboldt Collegiate Institute (HCI) and Muenster took part on May 28.

“It’s a full day for students and really is a shock reality day for them,” said Tracey Shewciw, executive director of Safe Communities Humboldt & Area.

The purpose of the day is to confront students with the reality of what could happen if they do things like drinking or texting while driving. Following that, the kids are broken up into groups to attend different sessions on different types of safety, including following the path of addiction survivors.

Wheelchair sports briefly come to Humboldt To celebrate its 50th anniversary, the Saskatchewan branch of the Canadian Paraplegic Association (CPA) visited various communities around the province to introduce residents to wheelchair sports and raise awareness for people with disabilities.

Delynne Bortis with CPA and Leanne Schellenberg with the Saskatchewan Wheelchair Sports Association (SWSA) came to Humboldt Collegiate Institute (HCI) with a few sport wheelchairs to allow people to try out wheelchair basketball and tennis.

“It’s an awareness building thing,” Bortis said. “(CPA) wants members because it’s beneficial, but they also bring awareness to, I always say, the abilities of people with disabilities.”

Brother Octopus comes to dry land of Humboldt The three-person band, Brother Octopus, was in town for only a day, but managed to pull off two separate performances on May 24.

“It went great. It was awesome,” said lead vocalist, Nathaniel Sutton, whose persona is that of an octopus.

“It was great weather for this. Lots of people came and we had a lot of fun.”

Triskeles courtyard was quaint and there were only 15 to 20 people in the audience, but there was enthusiastic applause and laughter from time to time.

The last steps for Jacquie’s Dance Academy The students from Jacquie’s Academy of Dance performed their last ever recital at the Humboldt Uniplex on May 22, 23, and 24 to the theme of Glee.

The owner and director, Jacquie Huck, is retiring as a dance teacher in Humboldt to spend more time with her family and as an examiner with the Canadian Dance Teachers Association. She’s been teaching her club of dancers in Humboldt for the last 37 years, despite living in Regina.

Year in Review - June Sewing up loose ends at annual Stitches Conference Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of artistic talent to be found when a needle touches thread, and the greatest examples of that and more could be found at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stitches Conference in Muenster.

The conference ran from May 28 to June 7 with 250 students in attendance at St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Abbey.

They learned about many different techniques such as garment making, sewing, and knitting.

For the first time, the conference offered a class in spinning.

Students break records at track and field meet Humboldt Collegiate Institute came out on top during a record-setting Horizon Central Athletic Association district track and field meet.

HCI had 45 participants rack up 836 points to top the other 40 schools participating in the May 26 meet in Saskatoon. Tanner Gerwing helped HCIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cause by winning the Junior Boys aggregate title.

There was plenty to cheer about at the recent meet as 34 records were broken.

HCIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alex Johnson set a new mark in midget boys 100-meter hurdles (15.51).

St. Augustineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Taylor Zwarych established new bantam girls records in the 100 (13.07) and 200 (27.29). Her school squad also set a bantam

St. Brieux students over the moon about astronaut chat Not only did Grade 6 and 9 St. Brieux students get to learn about space in their respective classes, but they also got to go a little deeper by asking questions of Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen via Skype on May 28.

Hansen is originally from Ontario and began as a pilot with the Canadian Air Force (he still flies planes), though he is currently in Texas learning to be an astronaut.

Students got into groups to come up with questions.

Hansen began by telling the students that there were six human beings in space and how amazing it would be to see the earth from the space station. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When (the astronauts) are off work, pretty much everybody goes to the windows and stares at the earth, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most amazing thing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen,â&#x20AC;? he said.

After that, the grades alternated asking questions.

Walking for a cure Despite the cooler weather, the Humboldt and District Juvenile Diabetes Walk got a good number of people out from Humboldt, Watson, Annaheim, Wadena, Watrous, and more to raise awareness for juvenile diabetes and funds for research.

The event is one of many similar walks put on by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) and this particular walk raised more than $33,000.

Registration began at 10 a.m. on June 14 at the Humboldt Uniplex. People signed up, got goodies (such as t-shirts and bags), and listened to speeches by the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two youth ambassadors: James Burkhart of Humboldt and Ashton Nakrayko of Wadena. Burkhart talked about his experience being diagnosed with diabetes and how it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stopped him from being involved with sports, while Nakrayko talked about what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like having diabetes.

Hurricanes bring home silver from Harder Avalon Classic The U16 Humboldt Hurricanes boys soccer team recently claimed the silver medals at the Harder Avalon Classic Tournament in Saskatoon.

Humboldt lost 3-1 to the North Battleford Santos and 5-1 to the SUSC Kings in pool play.

However, in the semifinal round the Hurricanes demonstrated resiliency by bouncing back to down the Kings, 3-1.

Humboldt fell 5-2 in the finals to the Santos.

The Hurricanes led 2-0 at one point. Having only one substitute player compared to their opponentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; six took a toll on the team.

Bauml turns into a Tiger overnight When Cole Baumlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phone started blowing up with text messages last week, he knew something was going on.

The Marysburg resident had just been selected by the Detroit Tigers in the 10th round of the Major Baseball League draft. The son of Ron and Joy Bauml was watching TV â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not the draft - when he was picked 310th overall. He is the first Saskatchewan born player to be picked in the MLB draft since Andrew Albers of North Battleford in 2008.

After his phone went off, Baumlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad confirmed he had been picked. The Tigers called that day and let them know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be in touch.
