ADS@LMTIMES.CA OBITUARY Henry Verner Wulff September 26, 1930 – November 14, 2020 It is with great sadness, yet gratitude, for a long, rewarding life, that the family announces the death of Henry Verner Wulff in the early hours of November 14, 2020 at the Wynyard Hospital. Henry was the second youngest child of Barbara and Paul Wulff. He was born of September 26, 1930, attended Raymore School, and later became a full-time farmer. Uncle Henry loved our family gatherings and often enjoyed a rousing game of cards. He was keenly interested in politics and was truly in his element in the middle of a political debate. Henry was also a faithful coffee row attendee where the problems of the world were often resolved. Watching curling on TV and playing crib were some of his favourite pastimes. His little dog was his constant companion and the two were rarely seen apart. However, Henry’s great passion in life was farming and all the things pertaining to it. He had a strong connection to the land that he worked and the history that helped shape his community. Henry is survived by his Nieces: Shirley (Skip) Duford, Glenda (Leon) Jacobs, Jennifer (Dennis) Stanley; Nephews: Verne (Rita) Thorner, Lyle Thorner, Garth (Denise) Thoner, Darryl (Joy) Bowman; as well as numerous great nieces and nephews. Henry was predeceased by his parents Barbara and Paul Wulff; Siblings: Hilda Bowman, Erna Wulff, Chris Wulff, and Ernest Wulff; sister-in-law Joyce Wulff; and niece-inlaw Debbie Thoner. Uncle Henry was a quiet, thoughtful individual who maintained an intense interest in current events and was always up for a spirited discussion concerning these events. He treasured his visits with friends and relatives and will be remembered for his quiet wit and humour. Many thanks to the Home Care workers who cared and looked after Uncle Henry so well in his final months. A celebration for his life will be held at a later date. Memorial donations may be made in his name to th Quinton Lutheran Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Conley Funeral Home, Raymore SK.

December Skies NIGHT SKY JAMES EDGAR The Moon starts off just past full phase and just past a shallow lunar eclipse. So, we should expect another eclipse just 14 days later– more on that below. On the 2nd, the Moon is only 0.2 degrees north of the cluster M35. By the 7th, the minor planet Vesta is occulted in the Eastern Hemisphere, only 0.8 degrees away for us in the west. With the new Moon on the 14th comes the second eclipse of the season, this time a total solar eclipse beginning in the southern Pacific Ocean, crossing southern South America, and on out into the Atlantic. Many intrepid eclipse chasers will be in Santiago or Valparaiso to bask briefly under the Moon’s shadow. A few days later, on the 17th, Jupiter and Saturn are both 3 degrees north of our satellite. Neptune shares the sky with the Moon on the 20th, but a telescope is required to see the disk of the blue-green planet. On the 23rd, Mars is 3 degrees north of the Moon and Uranus is slightly further east. Once again, M35 is 0.2 degrees south of the Moon on the 29th, and the Moon is full that same evening. Mercury is not visible this month. Venus gradually drops lower and lower to the horizon as the month progresses, rounding in its orbit to soon pass behind the Sun. The Moon passes by on the 12th. Mars, while still a prominent evening object, loses much of its glory as the month goes by. It shrinks in apparent size and fades from magnitude –1.1 to mag. –0.2, so only half as bright by month end. The waxing gibbous Moon passes by on the 23rd. Jupiter and Saturn reach conjunction on December 21. They have been gradually closing together for months now, culminating in this very close approach of 0.1 degree, a relatively rare event. Look for the two gas giants near the western horizon just after sunset. The Moon will have passed by on the 16th. Uranus is high in the sky at sunset, falling below the western horizon near midnight. Neptune likewise sets near midnight, offering only a brief window of opportunity for viewing. The Geminid meteor shower peaks on the 14th, and a total solar eclipse occurs in the Southern Hemisphere. The winter solstice is on the 21st at 10:02 UT, as the Sun reaches its furthest point south and begins its long journey north. December 22 marks the peak of the Ursid meteor shower at 9 UT. James Edgar has had an interest in the night sky all his life. He joined The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada in 2000, was National President for two terms, is now the Editor of the renowned Observer’s Handbook, and Production Manager of the bi-monthly RASC Journal. The IAU named asteroid 1995 XC5 “(22421) Jamesedgar” in his honour. Natures laboratory Nature is the greatest laboratory that exists in and because of Creation. -James Edgar Comment on this at lmtimes.ca/edgar EDITORIALS, LETTERS & OPINIONS It needs no executive branch, no CEO, marketing wing, lobbyists or employees at all. It is not subject to daily market fluctuations. It requires no buildings or instruments. It bows to no human ambition, desire or power and it is forever. We puny human beings and life in general would not exist without natures scientific, ever changing, dynamic balance. Creation allows nature ample time to find balance which is really only a shifting concept that has to change and flow with the challenges never ending Creation presents. The interactions of nature on life is extremely intricate. Creation’s plants, forests in particular, give us oxygen to breath. Not so much oxygen that the air around us bursts into flame and not so little our lungs are starved for it. Water, fresh and salt, hosts our huge, diverse, array of organisms that can co-exist together in an ingenious circle of life, death and regeneration to life again. The sun rises every morning like clock work, he warms us, he gives us the energy of his light and he sends down his impregnating rays to Earth so she can recreate this amazing diversity of life. This is a balance that no human brain or physical laboratory could ever imagine or duplicate. Just trying to conceive natures intricacies boggles the mind into amazed humility at our own, collective, intellectual limitations. Natures superior intelligence daily displays its beauty for those who wish to honour its loving tolerance for human ambitions. Numerous human societies, over the ages, have recognized that superiority, worshiped it and sought to live, passively, within that balance. Those societies are usually wiped out by more aggressive human conditions like greed, power and control. But those aggressive conditions have no passive balance. They are subjected to endless turmoil because of their own selfish activities. Attached to this mental instability they have destructive capacities they wield recklessly, limited only by the technological capacities they have so far developed plus the dread in recognition of responsibility of the ultimate destruction they author. Nature really doesn’t need human existence. It will find new balances with or without human interference. Those new Creative balances may even continue to provide the sustenance needed to extend, for the time being, human life on the planet. We only got one planet and predictably only one brief opportunity left for humans to continue to co-exist with the rest of life on it. -Greg Chatterson, Fort San
SPORTS lmtimes.ca • Last Mountain Times • Monday, November 30, 2020 • /lastmountaintimes • @lmtimes 3 CFL eyes post-pandemic return It’s not really a surprise that the Canadian Football League, which operates on a virtual shoestring, was one of the few professional sports leagues in North America to not operate in 2020 due to COVID-19. But while some fans worried the one-year hiatus may have marked the beginning of a spiral downward to non-existence, CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie has confirmed the league plans full operation in 2021. In fact, a schedule has been released. In most of the nine Canadian cities, the CFL is an important aspect of the FROM THE sports fabric. It’s a huge deal SIDELINES in Regina, a close second to NHL teams in Calgary, BRUCE PENTON Edmonton, Winnipeg and Ottawa, a distant second to the Canucks in Vancouver, a pretty big deal in Hamilton, gaining fans in Montreal and not very important at all in Toronto, where the Leafs, the Blue Jays, the Raptors and FC Toronto rank ahead of the Argonauts in terms of fan affection. So the blackest mark of all — no season — will be in the past and the CFL is scheduled to carry on as normal in 2021. Training camps will hopefully be held in May, the Bombers and Ti-Cats will meet June 10 in the season opener (a replay of the most recent Grey Cup game) and TSN can have a weekly basket of games to provide to fans across the country instead of a steady diet of ‘classics’ from the past that fans were fed during the past year. The league may look different when it resumes, though. Some players, some of the better ones, may have moved on, since reports of bare-bones salaries seems to carry weight. The league’s current collective bargaining agreement runs until the spring of 2022, and it includes a team salary cap of $5.35 million. League officials have indicated, however, that the salary cap ‘floor’ — $4.75 million per team — will be the goal of most teams. The nine CFL teams, of course, operated for a full season with barely a trickle of revenue, and still paid salaries to a handful of personnel, but no players. Many teams operate in red figures as it is. It’s been reported that collectively, the nine CFL teams lose between $10 million and $20 million per season. One big change fans will notice when the league resumes in 2021 is the name of the Edmonton franchise. ‘Eskimos’ has been tossed into the garbage bin, and team officials have been asking the public for suggestions on a new moniker. It has to start with ‘E’, they say, to allow the continued use of the team’s ‘EE’ logo. ‘Excited’ doesn’t work for a team name, but it certainly describes the feeling CFL fans have about the planned resumption of play. Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “What an apt surname for an NFL defender: Jets linebacker Tarell Basham.” Patriots QB Cam Newton, to reporters, on his dietary habits: “Just because I’m vegan doesn’t mean I just go outside and pick up grass and, you know, put ranch on it. … I still love good food.” Charles Barkley, on trying hypnotism to help correct his funky, hitchy golf swing: “All I got was a good nap. I woke up with the same crappy swing.” Bob Molinaro of pilotonline.com (Hampton, Va.): “When people said at the beginning of the season that the Ravens would lead the AFC North, who could have imagined it Randy Ambrosie would be in positive COVID tests.” Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg, re: the Roy Jones (age 51) vs. Mike Tyson (54) exhibition bout: “This fight is tricky. Whoever wins could face charges of elder abuse.” RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Don Cherry once told the Toronto Sun the material he buys for his suits is probably curtain fabric. Instead of Grapes, should we be calling him Drapes?” fark.com: “With Joe Burrow out for the season and no other viable quarterback available, if Colin Kaepernick’s phone doesn’t ring now, it never will. Spoiler alert: It never will.” fark.com again: “Toronto Star investigates why Jeopardy contestants fumbled easy sports questions so often, with exasperated hockey fan Alex Trebek looking on, unable to say what he really thought.” Dwight Perry again: “Veteran NBA forward Trevor Ariza got traded from Portland to Houston to Detroit to Oklahoma City in three separate deals in barely two days after this year’s draft. The Thunder is listing Ariza as day-to-day with severe jet lag.” Vancouver’s Torben Rolfsen, on Twitter, musing about Tom Brady’s occasional struggles in Tampa Bay: “Who holds the CFL rights to Tom Brady?” Actor George Takei, on Twitter: “Breaking: Professional sports fall into disarray as concerns mount over whether losing teams will concede to winning ones despite what the scoreboard says.” Sign in front of a church in Winnipeg: “Wear a mask. It’s not like we’re asking you to wear a Riders’ jersey.” Care to comment? Email brucepenton2003@ yahoo.ca - Bruce Penton Disclaimer: opinions expressed are those of the writer.
