For 23-year-old Wally Wuttunee of the Red Pheasant First Nation, taking a step back from professional hockey was not a difficult decision for him to make. The six-foot-four-inch defenceman is studying to become a teacher.

Wuttunee played with the Wheeling Nailers of the East Coast Hockey League until Nov. 14, 1999. He is now suiting up for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies with his first game on Nov. 17 against the University of Regina Cougars. Making the utmost use of his size and strength, the Cougars were painfully aware of his presence.

Snowmobiling is the best all around family activity you can think of in the winter season, and it can provide thrills for those who seek out challenging terrain too, but just because you're having fun doesn't mean you can ignore the rules of responsible driving.

First rule and the one some people break every year: Don't drink and drive!

Drinking and driving can be fatal. It is a fact that drinking and driving is a factor in 80 per cent of snowmobile fatalities in Canada, statistics show.

The Don't Drink and Drive campaign in Saskatchewan is in full swing for the holiday season with posters, radio announcements and television commercials all telling you to be responsible for your holiday partying.

To take the message further the Hotels Association of Saskatchewan has developed a designated driver program called "Have Someone For The Road," which allows one individual in a group to have complimentary non-alcoholic beverages throughout the evening while visiting their establishments.

Each individual tribe was given a unique language to keep and pass on to the generations to come, said Darlene Speidel, director of Cultural Resource Development Publications. Language, above all else, she said, is the key to regaining and protecting Aboriginal culture.

The Saskatchewan Indian Cultural Centre's 2001 calendars feature eight languages-Soto, Lakota, Nakota, Dakota, Dene, and the Y, TH and N dialects of the Cree language. It is hoped that the calendars will help Aboriginal people retain and rejuvenate their distinct cultures.
