Bail granted following Wal Mart incident By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Three adults who have been charged after an incident at Wal Mart in Yorkton have been released on bail. The charges began with an assault with a knife in Wal Mart on May 8, caught on surveillance video at the business, where one man was attempting
to stab another inside the business. The attempted assault led to a search warrant at a local hotel room, where 56 grams of cocaine were discovered, as well as nine grams marijuana and a rifle with ammunition. A search of a truck driven by one of the suspects turned up an additional 51 grams of cocaine and 20 grams of marijuana.
Emma Loverin was released on a $500 cash recognizance. Loverin, from Smithers, BC, had no previous criminal record and intends on seeking council in BC on her arrival there. She will be back in court Jun. 11. Jason Ford was released on $2,000 cash bail, and will return to Telkwa, BC where he will also seek council. Judge Donna
Taylor warned Ford that if he violated the conditions of his bail he would not be easily let out, telling him “I did seriously consider having you stay in custody.” His next court date is Jun. 25. The third suspect released was Colton Labelle. Arrested after a police chase, which ended with his collision with a police car, which resulted in
injuries to a local RCMP officer, Labelle was released on $500 bail. He will not be allowed to leave his residence without permission, however, and Taylor told the accused that his release was contingent on being able to live with a family member and have electronic monitoring. Labelle’s next court date is Jun. 13.
Newest Habitat family moves in By Devin Wilger Staff Writer
It has been almost a year since the sod was turned on Betts Ave., but a Yorkton family is moving into their new home.
The Kozie family has become the latest family to get a new home from Habitat for Humanity. Breana Kozie and her children Emily and Jace have been living in their new home for two weeks.
Before being selected to receive a Habitat home, they were living in a “very tiny” apartment. They then moved in with her mother as they waited for the house to be completed, something
Kozie admits was “chaos,” making them grateful to be in their own home. “We are very happy, it’s stress free.” The Kozie family had to do 500 hours of “sweat
equity” (volunteer work) as a down payment for their home. Kozie went beyond the minimum to get the required hours. “It was hard work but it was a lot of fun doing it.”
The Kozies are happy to have a new home. “This day means everything to me... We are extremely happy to begin the rest of our life here.” This Habitat home

grant. The Government of Saskatchewan is investing $128,667 in the Yorkton airport through the Community Airport Partnership (CAP) program. The money will go towards expanding the air-
port’s apron (the space where aircraft are parked). MLA Greg Ottenbreit and Yorkton City councillor Aaron Kienle announced the funding during a press conference at the Yorkton airport on May 18. “Yorkton has benefited from

was also part of a new initiative with the White Spruce Provincial Training Centre. The home was built with labour support from the Construction Worker Preparation Program, which gives offenders the chance to work towards a Journeyman certificate and gain experience and vocational skills. It’s the seventh build in nine years for Habitat in Yorkton. Kelly HolmesBinns, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Regina, says that seeing families move is the motivation for the work Habitat does. Yorkton has been more productive than some
Habitat organizations in larger centres, HolmesBinns noted. “It’s the moment we all strive for, when we can lift a family out of poverty and ensure that they have safe, decent and affordable housing. It takes a community to come together and do that. Yorkton’s a remarkable community and they do a great job every time. It sets the Kozie family up for long term success and we’re very excited for them.” This home is also notable for another reason.

year, it received the second-largest donation in the province.

Marchers show their pride By Sean Mott Staff Writer Marchers carried signs and filled the streets of Yorkton on May 19 to celebrate diversity and inclusion. Over 30 people participated in the 2018 Yorkton Pride March last Saturday. The walk began at City Hall, snaking through Smith Street, First Avenue, and Broadway Street before finishing at the City Centre, where they enjoyed cake, drinks, and yoga.
The march was one of the final events of Pride Week, which began on May 12. Pride Week included board games nights, diversity training, and spin classes. “[Pride] has been a huge success,” said organizer Laura Budd. “We’ve got a lot of city and community support.” Drivers and passersby voiced their support for the marchers as they moved through Yorkton. Budd was grateful for their show of solidarity.
“It’s really great to be out loud [and] proud in Yorkton and to see all of the honks and cheers,” she said. Yorkton police escorted the marchers through town. Budd said the fire department were supposed to join them, but they had to respond to an emergency that day. “We appreciate them in our community,” she said. Budd enjoyed all of Pride Week, but her favourite event was the pizza and board games night on May 17 at the Boys and
Girls Club of Yorkton. “We had over 20 youths for [the event],” she said. “Seeing their happy faces and seeing them claim that space was [great].”
Pride Week 2018 officially ended with a “Spirit of Diversity” service at St. Andrew’s United Church on May 20.
Pride marchers raised their voices in support of the LGBT community as they walked through Yorkton last Saturday.

Perspective Sask. Party’s shaky relationship with teachers

Murray Mandryk is a political columnist with the Leader Post
Politics In Saskatchewan politics, some stakeholder groups have always been more closely aligned with some political parties than others. For example, it’s no secret that the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and the Chambers of Commerce are philosophically linked to the Saskatchewan Party. The same can be said for various free-market-oriented agricultural producer groups and oil and mining lobby stakeholder. Even the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) — while, by definition, neutral — holds so many like-minded views and supporters that it often comes across as aligned with the Sask. Party. Moreover, SARM’s history includes its 1960 opposition to he Tommy Douglas CCF’s Royal Commission on Agriculture that recommended adoption of a county system. Also, in the 1990s, SARM and the Sask. Party went to war with the NDP government over its exploration of rural municipal amalgamation. Conversely, the NDP emerged in the 1960s when labour was given an active voice in the old CCF. That Saskatchewan Federation of Labour is still considered a constituency at the party’s annual conventions says much about allegiances on the left. This perspective is needed to better understand on-going feud between the Sask. Party government and Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation … although, this issue isn’t as cut and dry as some think. For example, while unions and their leadership may be closely aligned with the NDP, that isn’t necessarily the case with the rank and file. There are 13,500 teachers in Saskatchewan, so political views are views. Those in rural Saskatchewan likely recognize that the opinions teachers they know likely don’t vary all that greatly from others in their communities. And while teachers may have a self-serving view of their own pay, any government needs to recognize that how teachers are compensated at affects students and their parents and all the rest of us. In fact, in a growing province like Saskatchewan, there is an automatic need for government to shell out more for teachers. According to the September school enrolment numbers, the number of Saskatchewan students increased by 2,735 to 174,277 compared with 171,542 students in 2017. Yet this year’s operational funding in the 2018-19 budget is still 1.3 per cent less than in 2016-17, which takes us the teacher’s contract and the government’s uneasy relationship with its teachers. Yet Education Minister Gord Wyant, acknowledges the Sask. Party government has not set aside money for a contract increase. You don’t want to “create any undue expectations with respect to what (a new contract) might look like,” Wyant said, later telling reporters last week that the increase “ can be zero” and “I am not going to pre-judge” what might happen in the negotiation. One gets why Wyant might not want to tip his hand in normal negotiations. However, this negotiation is already at and impasse and has gone to an arbitrator. It would seem highly any arbitrator would recommend a wage freeze. But even if he or she did, there is the existing the problem of rising enrolment that will require more teachers. Given that $30 million was added to the education budget in the 2018-19 budget — a leadership campaign promise by now Premier Scott Moe largely to make up for the $54-million to the education budget in the 2017-18 austerity budget under former premier Brad Wall — it’s quite obvious that this government is prepared for some teachers’ salary increase. To send out signals no teachers’ increase is coming sends out a hostile message. “There’s not a lot of trust in the education sector right now,” said STF President Patrick Maze. One can’t but help think that part of the problem is the long-held shaky relationship between the Sask. Party and the teachers. This always seems to be the case because some groups get along better with political parties than others. Murray Mandryk has been covering provincial politics for over 22 years.

Various ways to stimulate economy
W
e are constantly looking for ways to stimulate the economy of our province and our coun-
try. Certainly, we have seen that for decades in agriculture, still a major economic driver in our local region, and across the Canadian Prairies. Farmers have long been eager to try new crops which they hope will diversify their farm operations, and ultimately the entire sector. There have been major successes, the development of canola, the increase in pulse crops, (peas, lentils and beans), the recent uptake of soybeans. And, there have been a few misses too, or at least efforts that have yet to be significant to the overall sector; lupins, seabuckthorn, wide acreages of coriander, caraway, and other crops. But the effort to diversify continues. On a different level many see the proposed Trans Mountain Pipeline as a key effort in terms of the Canadian economy. Perrin Beatty, the president and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce provided to those attending the annual Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce Conference in Yorkton that the pipeline is certainly a key issue in terms of the business sector. The pipeline is hugely important in providing much needed access to world markets for Canadian oil, said Beatty, adding as it is the country has only one market for oil, the United States. He said as a result of that there is a loss of $45 million per day, which means lost jobs, and less revenue for governments. The proposed project by Kinder Morgan has gone through all the required regulatory processes, and has
been approved by the National Energy Board citing “on balance it is good for Canada,” said Beatty. But the British Columbia government has stated it is going to use “every tool in its toolbox to frustrate the rule of law,” he said. The decision in B.C. is frustrating because “a growing majority of British Columbians themselves support the project,” said Beatty. The project hold-up sends a negative message in terms of investment in this country in the sense Kinder Morgan has done everything right, and is still being blocked, suggested Beatty. “Play by the rules … it still can’t be done. What does it say to those looking to invest in Canada?” asked Beatty. Beatty’s questions are certainly ones worth answers, but it also shows a desire to grow the economy. And then there is the pending emergence of a cannabis industry in our country. It is interesting to read reports Aurora Cannabis Inc., one of Canada’s largest marijuana companies has invested in retail liquor stores, an organic waste technology company, and acquired multiple cannabis producers, including CanniMed Therapeutics Inc. The buying spree includes a $3.2-billion agreement to purchase rival grower MedReleaf Corp. in the industry’s largest takeover. There is a growing interest in the sector about to be created by the federal government opening the door through new legislation, and while there will be challenges with the Canada-wide introduction, it will certainly have an impact on the economy in a significant way as well.

New tax break for seniors A new tax deferral program has been created to help Saskatchewan seniors. The Seniors Education Property Tax Deferral Program, which opened in April, will give Saskatchewan seniors with household incomes under $70,000 the option to defer the education portion of the property taxes on their home through a repayable loan. “This program will
provide low-to-moderate-income seniors with greater financial flexibility, and help them stay in their homes longer,” Social Services Minister and Minister Responsible for Saskatchewan Housing Corporation Paul Merriman said. “We are following through on an election promise and supporting our government’s priorities and strategies, including The Poverty Reduction Strategy.” Seniors are eligible
for the program if they: •are 65 years of age or older; •own and live in their home as their main residence in Saskatchewan; •have total household income below $70,000; and •maintain a minimum of 25 per cent equity in their home. Seniors can apply at any point in the year to defer their education property taxes. Approved applicants will
be enrolled in the program for 10 years with the option to opt out at any point. At the end of the 10-year enrollment period, seniors who would like to continue to defer future education property taxes can reapply to the program. Seniors remain responsible for the direct and full payment of their property taxes. Repayment of the loans must occur when the program clients sell, transfer, or no longer
Incentives for tech Minister Responsible for Innovation Saskatchewan Tina Beaudry-Mellor, recently introduced Bill 129, The Saskatchewan Technology Start-up Incentive Act, for first reading in the Saskatchewan Legislature. Designed to increase investment in early stage technology companies, the incentive will offer a 45 per cent nonrefundable tax credit for individual and corporate equity investments in eligible technology start-up businesses, capped at a maximum annual benefit of $140,000 per investor. “Saskatchewan has a growing technology sector, and government is committed to providing an attractive business environment to support its expansion and success,” Beaudry-Mellor said. “The Saskatchewan Technology Start-up Incentive will help us achieve this commitment. It will create the conditions for increased early stage investments in technology start-ups in Saskatchewan, which will in turn help enhance the growth, attraction and retention of start-ups and talent in the province.” Announced as part of the 2018-19 Budget, the incentive program will be
managed by Innovation Saskatchewan. The provincial agency will assess eligibility for applicants to ensure they meet all required qualifying criteria, including the need to be technology-based start-ups located in Saskatchewan, with 50 or fewer employees. Offered as a two-and-a-half year pilot program, the incentive will be funded through Innovation Saskatchewan and will be capped at $1.5 million in its first year, with unused credits rolling into the following fiscal year. The Saskatchewan Technology Startup Incentive will strengthen the province’s innovation commercialization strategy, complementing recent related policies and programs government has developed, including: •Co.Labs—Saskatchewan’s first technology incubator; •the reformed Saskatchewan Research and Development Tax Credit; and •the Saskatchewan Commercial Innovation Incentive. The program will begin accepting applications in fall 2018, and a full evaluation will follow in the 2020-21 fiscal year.

This program is only available for the education property taxes that are charged for a principal residence. If the senior has a secondary residence, farmland, or commercial property in addition to the principal residence, they may only defer
the portion of education property taxes for the principal residence. Only the education property taxes for the current calendar year may be deferred.

History Corner A freighter of the old North West Territories
It is very interesting to know what was going on in the North West Territories, especially in the years just before settlement of the Yorkton area in 1882. There were more men from Eastern Canada than we think who were roaming these parts. One occupation that grew from the fur trade was that of the freighter. These men were usually working for the Hudson’s Bay Company, but also other independent businessmen, especially after the founding of Manitoba as a province in 1870. One of these freighters was an early resident of Yorkton — William S. de Balinhard. William was born in Eastern Canada in 1866.He came west at an early age and had passed through the area to be known as Yorkton before its founding. He had colourful work experiences, such as working as a horse trainer with the Buffalo Bill Circus — the year or years are unknown. He was obviously employed by the Hudsons’ Bay Company when he did freighting between Fort Pelly and Fort Ellice in Manitoba. Each trip took four days of travel with oxen and one day to rest. It was not much faster with horses, because
they needed more rest breaks than oxen. His accommodation consisted of a bed roll under the wagon. For that work he received three cents per pound of freight goods In the late 1880s and early 1890s, Mr. de Balinhard was a cowboy and wrangler. He herded cattle from Texas to the Canadian North West, in what became Alberta. He worked on ranches there and in the Buchanan and Punnichy area.He finally settled down in Yorkton in 1896. He married Maude McFarline at her parental home at 44 Gladstone Avenue North. (The house still stands today.) Until he retired, Mr. de Balinhard worked for the Town/ City of Yorkton doing transporting work, the occupation terminology of the day was “teamster.” William and Maude de Balinhard belonged to the Holy Trinity Anglican Church. They are both interred in the Yorkton cemetery. Contact Terri Lefebvre Prince, Heritage Researcher, City of Yorkton Archives, Box 400, 37 Third Avenue North Yorkton, Sask.

Front row (l-r) Jeanifer Moreira, Dinorah Castro, Carmela Solis, Margaret Switzer (holding the plaque), Kathy Harbuz, and Ray Sass. Missing is Alex Burns.
Receiving the Depot of the Year award are Karen Kojolka, Assistant Depot Supervisor, Yorkton Depot; Ray Sass, Southeast Regional Manager; and Jeanifer Moreira, Yorkton Depot Supervisor.
Yorkton’s SARCAN wins XL Depot of the Year By Devin Wilger Staff Writer In Saskatchewan, people who want to recycle their cans and bottles go to a SARCAN depot. They come in a variety of sizes, from small outlets in small towns to the biggest depots, which are in the XL category. In 2018, the best of these large depots, which operate in the provinces major centres, is the SARCAN depot in Yorkton. They won the Depot of the Year award for 2018.
Jeanifer Moreira, supervisor, and Karen Konjolka, assistant supervisor, are proud to receive the award for the depot. “All of the hard work we put in all year has been recognized. The staff here are awesome, I think we have the best staff in any business,” Konjolka said. In the XL category, the depot is competing against other depots in centres like Saskatoon, Regina, and Prince Albert, some of which
have more staff than in Yorkton. “Competing against depots that have 25 staff members against ten, it’s a big deal,” Moreira added. How do you get to be the best depot in the province? “I think it’s good teamwork, we have very good staff members. It’s reflecting [Moreira] as a great manager, because the staff are willing to go a little bit extra for [her],” Konjolka said. “We work hard at
keeping the staff happy when they come to work. Keep the energy up, and it reflects on the customer service,” Moreira added. Depots are judged on cleanliness, customer service, and accuracy. The Yorkton depot won the award for cleanest XL depot previously, but this is the first time it has
taken the top prize. The philosophy at the depot is to continue improving. It has regular meetings to try ways to get better and continue to improve the experience for customers and staff. Moreira believes that having a happy staff comes across to customers, as they work hard at their job and provide quality cus-
tomer service. The local depot also crossed another milestone last year, recycling over ten million containers in a year. They believe that it’s a combination of milk containers now being in the mix for recycling, as well as a greater awareness of the importance of recycling in the world at large.

Tourism remains important locally By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Tourism Week has been set for May 27 to Jun. 2 by Yorkton Council at its regular meeting on May 14.. “Tourism has been recognized in the Province of Saskatchewan’s ‘Partnership for Renewal’ Economic Plan as one of the six leading industries and Saskatchewan’s fourth largest export industry
after agriculture, mining, and manufacturing,” explained a letter requesting the proclamation which was circulated at the meeting. “Tourism Week provides a special opportunity to show off our city and province.

More than 67,000 people were employed in tourismrelated industries in the province in 2017 – that’s more than 13 per cent of Saskatchewan’s current working population.

By Sean Mott Staff Writer Marilyn Stearns held up a copy of “Jeremiah Learns to Read.” The children’s picture book details how an older man finally masters the art of reading. Stearns carefully led her students through each page of the book, discussing the subtext and themes as the story unfolded. Stearn’s class wasn’t the typical audience for a children’s story. The room was filled with a dozen-and-a-half adult women scribbling notes. Unlike Jeremiah, they already knew how to read. They attended the class to learn how to teach. Stearns led an Introduction to Family Literacy workshop at the Yorkton Public Library
Adults learn to teach
on May 9. The day-long class was designed to teach facilitators how to work with families to encourage a passion for reading. “Learning begins with families,” Stearns said. “Families provide the foundations for learning that takes place throughout our lives. “Parents are the first and most important teachers of their children.” Stearns spent the day teaching librarians, healthcare workers, and educators how to bond families through reading. “We can strengthen [literacy] by providing tools and resources and opportunities for families to learn together,” she said. Stearns uses “Jeremiah Learns to Read” and other popular
Physician numbers up Saskatchewan residents continue to have improved health care access with nearly 900 more physicians providing service than in 2007, an increase of 51 per cent. In total, more than 2,600 physicians are licensed to practice in the province. “The ability to see a doctor, whether they are a specialist or a general practitioner is one of the most important aspects of our health care system,” Health Minister Jim Reiter said. “Our government prioritized physician recruitment and retention upon coming to office in 2007, and since then we’ve seen a 51 per cent increase or nearly 900 more doctors available to provide highquality, timely health care services to the people of Saskatchewan.” Saskatchewan also continues to heavily recruit pediatricians in advance of the opening of the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital. The number of pediatricians practicing in Saskatchewan has increased by 98 per cent (from 62 to 123) since 2007. “We’ve made huge strides over the past decade, a 43 per cent increase in the number of general practitioners means better care that can be accessed closer to home for many of our rural residents,” Rural and Remote Health Minister Greg Ottenbreit said. “While we are pleased with this level of growth, we continue to work with our health sector partners to recruit for vacant positions across

Saskatchewan.” The number of general practitioners has risen by 43 per cent, and the number of specialists has increased by 62 per cent. The number of psychiatrists has increased by 37 per cent. A number of physician recruitment and retention initiatives have resulted in the increase of physicians in Saskatchewan, including: •one of the best physician compensation rates in the country; •training more doctors in Saskatchewan by increasing the College of Medicine’s undergraduate seats from 60 to 100, and doubling the number of medical residency positions to 120; •establishing more family medicine resident training sites outside of Regina and Saskatoon, including sites in Prince Albert, Swift Current, La Ronge, North Battleford and Moose Jaw, which has led to a 79 per cent retention rate for family physicians; and •recruiting more than 200 internationally trained physicians, 77 per cent of whom are working in rural or regional communities. “We are pleased to have 900 more physician colleagues working in the province,” Saskatchewan Medical Association President Dr. Joanne Sivertson said. “The Saskatchewan Medical Association looks forward to further collaborating with the province on work to recruit and retain physicians, particularly in mental health, rural services and senior’s care.”
children’s books during the class as examples of content that connects with kids. “I use several books for further discussion and learning,” she said. “Through listening to stories, we build banks of knowledge.” Stearns enjoys strengthen her students’ teaching abilities. “My favourite part is when people have ‘aha’ moments,” she said. “Their knowledge becomes broader.” Stearns works with the Saskatchewan Literacy Network (SLN), which hosted the workshop along with the Yorkton Public Library. SLN hosts similar classes across the province. “It’s a really good foundational training for anyone who works with children,” Stearns said. “We focus on the principles of working with families.”

Elves make Yorkton their home By Sean Mott Staff Writer Children at the Yorkton Family Resource Centre (YFRC) have a new pair of friends to encourage them to read and to spread generosity and joy. The Kindness Elves project launched at the YFRC in the SIGN building on Broadway Street on May 18. Parents, representatives from the Yorkton Kinsmen, and MLA Greg Ottenbreit
were on hand to celebrate the project’s new home. The Kindness Elves project began in 2013 as an alternative to the “naughty elf” tradition. The creators wanted to emphasize kindness and positive reinforcement, so they created the Kindness Elves, small dolls who encourage kids to read and treat each other with respect. The project has grown in households and schools
around the world. YFRC discovered the project and thought it would be a perfect fit for their program. In autumn of last year, they submitted a 500-word essay to the Yorkton Kinsmen requesting funds for the project, describing how it would benefit the community. After looking through several submission, the Kinsmen chose the YFRC, donating $500 to the Kindness Elves project.
Children got to know their new friends at the SIGN building on May 18. The elves live in a miniature house which doubles as a mailbox.
Children can receive letters from the elves, which can offer praise for kind
acts or suggestions for how the kids can help their community.

May proclaimed Early Childhood Education Month May has been proclaimed Early Childhood Education Month and is an opportunity to acknowledge the important role early childhood education plays in the growth and development of children. May 9, was also been proclaimed Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day to recognize the thousands of early childhood educators who contribute to the physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual development of our children. “Early Childhood Education Month is our opportunity to celebrate the many quality early education programs across our province that help give children a good start in life,” Deputy Premier and Education Minister Gordon Wyant said. “Thank you to all the early childhood educators who have dedicated themselves to providing safe and caring environments for our children to learn and grow.” The 2018-19 Budget continues to provide quality early learning opportunities for Saskatchewan children by providing $76.8 mil-
lion for nearly 17,000 licensed child care spaces, including the $20.8 million federal investment through the Canada-Saskatchewan Early Learning and Child Care Agreement. It also provides $20.5 million for 316 Prekindergarten programs to support the early development of more than 5,000 three and four-year olds. The Saskatchewan Early Childhood Association (SECA) is a membership-based nonprofit organization that promotes professional development opportunities for early childhood educators and advocates for the importance of early learning and those working in the profession. Recently, the Ministry of Education provided support to SECA to create two videos designed to highlight the importance of early childhood education and the value of a career in early childhood education. “We are happy to see May proclaimed as Early Childhood Education Month again and on behalf of SECA, I would like to thank each early childhood educator for guiding the children of Saskatchewan
toward brighter futures by providing wonderful early learning and care environments,” SECA Executive Director Georgia Siourounis said. “While moving forward as a profession, it is wonderful to have a whole month dedicated to you and what you do! In the early childhood education sector, it is easy to get wrapped up in caring for others and facilitating their learning. Don’t forget to take time for yourself!” The videos are available to view by visiting SECA’s website: “Early Childhood Education” - http://secask.ca/ “A Child’s Early Years” - http://seca-sk. ca/2018/02/21/389/ The Ministry of Education continues to work with its human service partners to implement Saskatchewan’s Early Years Plan 20162020 by focusing on alignment and co-ordination of services across the early years sector. These actions are improving service responses for children and families, and supporting child development and school readiness outcomes.

SGI funds automated license plate readers Law enforcement vehicles throughout Saskatchewan are getting smarter to help improve traffic safety and fight crime. Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) has invested $2.3 million to fund the purchase and installation of 77 new automated licence plate readers (ALPRs) in law enforcement vehicles. The devices automatically scan licence plates – up to one plate per second – and alert police if a nearby vehicle is unregistered, or associated with a driver who has been suspended for impaired driving or other reasons. ALPRs can be used to look out for a vehicle that has been reported stolen, or is connected to a crime or an Amber alert. “For anyone who uses a vehicle in the commission of a crime, is suspended from driving or is driving an unregistered vehicle, the odds of getting caught just went up,” Minister Responsible for SGI Joe Hargrave said. “Automated licence plate readers help make our roads and communities safer by helping police catch suspended or wanted drivers.” Of the 77 new ALPRs, 69 have been allocated to vehicles used by Ministry of Highways Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Officers and Ministry of Environment Conservation Officers who will be serving as part of the province’s new Protection and Response Team (PRT). Eight more ALPRs are in vehicles used by traffic patrol units as part of the Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan (CTSS) in Regina, Prince

NAFTA deal looks long way off There is a reason people are reluctant to open a can of worms,; once it is open, the wiggly critters tend to escape and can be very hard to get back in the can. It’s an old adage United States president Donald Trump should perhaps have thought of before forcing a renegotiation of the long-standing North American Free Trade Agreement. Of course, Trump has shown he very much marches to his own drumbeat, even if his drum appears badly out of tune with common sense in general, and reality on more than a few occasions. But questioning Trump’s reasons for
opening NAFTA now is pretty much worrying about why someone left the barn door open after the horse has escaped, to continue in the vein of old sayings. Regardless of the reasoning, the NAFTA deal needs to be renegotiated, and from the perspective of Canada in general, and Canadian agriculture specifically, the sooner the better. Perrin Beatty, the president and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, touched on the need for urgency when he spoke at the annual Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce Conference held in Yorkton recently. Perrin said there are also some key issues before the country now which businesses need

Calvin Daniels to be keeping abreast of, and have a say in, depending on how things progress. The first are the ongoing negotiations around the NAFTA. Beatty said NAFTA is “something that is special in North America,” adding it has been a benefit to the three countries involved. So the key in negotiations is not to do anything which hurts the
signatories in terms of trade. “What is crucial is we do nothing that undermines it,” said Beatty. That said, Beatty did suggest some changes are warranted, noting, as an example, at the time of the original negotiations and signing for NAFTA “e-commerce didn’t exist.” There are also new job classifications today which should be cov-
ered in the deal which are not because they also did not exist at the time, he said. Beatty said the next days are crucial in the current negotiations, as a deal needs to be in place soon ahead of presidential elections in Mexico this summer and Congressional elections in the United States this fall. The Congressional and Mexican presidential elections were thought by many to be the motivation to hammer out a deal through May, but the reality of a complex document with each side having agendas they see as important have pretty much scuttled the likelihood of deal anytime soon. Robert Lighthizer, the U.S. Trade
Representative, came out recently suggesting a deal is a long way off and there are now indications from some quarters that a deal might well not be achieved before sometime in 2019. A lot can change in that time, including the potential of a new Mexican head less supportive of NAFTA and a change in the congressional mix stateside. At risk is a deal that. while never perfect through its history, or even fair on every commodity, at least provided a known framework of rules to follow which was a general positive for trade among the three countries.

Farmers catch up on seeding average Thanks to good seeding conditions, Saskatchewan producers made up the time lost in previous weeks. Thirtyfive per cent of the crop is now in the ground, just ahead of the five-year (2013-2017) seeding average of 32 per cent for this time of year. Crops are starting to emerge. Seeding is furthest advanced in the southeast, where 49 per cent of
the crop is in the ground. Forty-five per cent is seeded in the southwest, 28 per cent in the northeast, 26 per cent in the west–central region and 24 per cent in the eastcentral and northwestern regions. Rain showers were reported throughout the province, particularly in the southwestern and west-central regions. The Gull Lake area
received 18 mm of rain, the most in the province. There have been multiple reports of grass and stubble fires due to the dry conditions and rain would be welcomed to help alleviate dry field conditions and concerns. Thirty-three per cent of the spring wheat, 26 per cent of the canola, 57 per cent of the lentils and 63 per cent of the field peas have been seeded
to date. Little rain, warm temperatures and strong and warm winds have caused topsoil moisture conditions to decline. Hay and pasture growth is slow due to little rainfall. Provincially, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 57 per cent adequate, 35 per cent short and eight per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 40
per cent adequate, 43 per cent short and 17 per cent very short. Producers are busy seeding, controlling weeds and moving cattle. SaskPower reports 46 cases of farm machinery contacting electrical equipment in the last week, bringing the total for May to 73. Most farm-related incidents happen during seeding. SaskPower reminds pro-
ducers to be aware of their surroundings at all times and to plan ahead. More safety information is available at www.saskpower.com/safety. A complete, printable version of the Crop Report is available online at http://www. saskatchewan.ca/cropreport. Follow the 2018 Crop Report on Twitter at @ SKAgriculture.
Due to dry conditions producers are anticipating reduced pasture and hay yields this summer. Many are now considering seeding annuals for forage. With the recently introduced “cocktail cover crops” there is a long list of annual crop species that can be seeded to provide forage. This article will focus on the more common annual cereals, comparing cool and warm season species. Cool Season Cereals Barley and oats have been the traditional cool season cereals to plant for greenfeed. They germinate at 5°C soil temperature and grow best at temperatures of 18-24°C. Growth from germination is at a relatively constant rate, by the processes of cell division and expansion during the entire time they are elongating. This makes them relatively competitive with most annual weeds. Cool season cereals
have a greater chance of success when seeded in May. With early seeding there can be a significant amount of forage grown prior to the normally hotter and dryer days of later summer. A general rule of thumb in Saskatchewan is for each week that seeding is delayed beyond May 25, expect yield to drop by 10 per cent. Warm Season Cereals Millets and corn are the more common warm season cereals grown for greenfeed. They require a minimum soil temperature of 10°C to germinate. They grow best at daytime temperatures of 32-35°C and nighttime temperatures not lower than 10°C. Warm season plants have a unique growth pattern. After germination they grow to about six inches in height and then appear to stall for about three weeks. During this time the plants are undergoing all of their cell divisions,
which is a relatively taxing biological process. Competition from weeds or other plants during this time will have a significant negative affect on yield so weed control the first five to six weeks is critical. Once the cell division phase is complete warm season plants grow very rapidly as the cells are now simply
expanding. Another unique feature of warm season plants is greater water use efficiency. Warm season plants can produce as much as 50 percent more forage with a given amount of moisture compared to cool season plants. Considering the above, warm season cereals can
potentially produce more forage than cool season cereals when seeding dates are delayed past early June. As seeding date is delayed, planting warm season cereals with good weed control can be a viable option for greenfeed. If planting occurs in early June a longer season species has the potential to pro-
duce higher yield than the shorter season species. For example Crown millet will be cut about 65-70 days after seeding and Golden German millet will be cut about 90-95 days after seeding. If seeding occurs in July, there may be no advantage to a longer season species due to frost stopping growth in fall.
Annual crops for green feed
Legislation introduced Recently, Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison introduced Bill 125, The Saskatchewan Value-Added Agriculture Incentive, for first reading in the Saskatchewan Legislature. The new incentive, announced as part of the 201819 Budget, is designed to improve investment attraction and retention outcomes in the province’s valueadded agriculture sector. It offers a 15 per cent nonrefundable tax credit for value-added agriculture facilities that make a significant capital investment to expand production capacity. “Robust economic growth and new investment in key sectors is crucial to Saskatchewan’s people and their communities,” Harrison said. “To accomplish this, we must continually find new ways to foster a competitive business environment in our province.” Qualifying projects include new and existing value-
added agricultural facilities. To be eligible, a project must have $10 million in new capital expenditures, demonstrate that capital expenditures were made for the purposes of increasing productive capacity, and meet the definition of value-added agriculture. Potential examples include pea protein processors, oat milling operations, malt producers, or cannabis oil processing facilities. The incentive is designed to be used in addition to other existing incentives in Saskatchewan that a project could also qualify for. Redemption of the benefits is limited to 20 per cent in year one after the facility enters operation, 30 per cent in year two, and 50 per cent in year three. There will be a maximum carryforward of 10 years on any remaining credit amount. The program will begin accepting applications in mid to late 2018.

Elevating your spring cleaning game I’ve come down with a major affliction. I took my vitamins and avoided rotten fruits, but to no avail. I’m ill. It’s official: I’ve got Spring Cleaning Fever. When I had a day off recently, I spent the majority of my morning cleaning my apartment. It’s surprising how addictive a top-to-bottom tidy job can be. A simple wipe down of my kitchen counter spiralled into an obsessive re-organization of my entire cupboard contents. Cleaning is therapeutic.
But there’s so much more to spring cleaning than merely sweeping up dust bunnies and vacuuming dirt piles. Spring cleaning is a state of mind. Which is why I’ve compiled this handy-dandy list for you fine folks. What follows is an incomplete but essential rundown of the oft-forgotten elements in our lives that should join the ritual fire that is spring cleaning. 4. Clean your Netflix queue. Ooh, boy, you racked up quite a collection of
SEAN MOTT
Settling in... shows and movies on your streaming service over the winter, didn’t you? Why do you have nine seasons of an obscure British comedy lined up? What possessed you to add Adam
Sandler’s filmography to your queue? These questions will have to be answered at another time, because you have work to do. Draw the blinds, put the kettle on boil, and start watching.
Don’t even think about mindlessly deleting your picks; that’s cheating. You made the picks; you’ve got to watch them. 3. Clean out your coupons. The holidays came and went, leaving you with a surplus of gift cards you never used. Well, it’s time to cash in. Load up on Canadian Tire and Walmart merchandise as you free your wallet from plastic overload. 2. Clean your fridge. This is a simple one, right? Everybody emp-
ties out their fridge when they realize most of their ingredients have gone bad. Perhaps, but don’t toss your food in the garbage like a chump. Get crazy. Throw every food stuff on the verge of expiration into one big pot and make the stew of your dreams/nightmares. 1. Clean your windshield.
Wipe the collective winter grime and muck off your car. Polish it to perfect just in time for an army of bugs to paint their innards over it.
SaskTel TelCare donates to health foundation SaskTel TelCare is a non-profit organization which raises funds through employee contributions in each district. Employees who contribute to the fund have their contribution come off their pay cheque each month and that contribution is then matched by Sasktel, $.50 for every dollar donated. “In Yorkton our TelCare committee chose five different charities and special projects to support. Our primary focus last year was The Health Foundation. Yorkton TelCare raised $7,000 last year and donated $2,625 to The Health Foundation and we are very proud of that,” said John McMurdo, Yorkton SaskTel Store Manager. “We have great employee participation here in Yorkton, and that’s because our Yorkton TelCare Chair Lori and committee member Faye do a great
job raising awareness. Provincially, SaskTel TelCare has over 1,100 members and raises approximately $250,000 each year that is donated back into the communities that our members live in. SaskTel TelCare now assists over 80 charities annually. Personally I am honoured to be part of an organization that does all it can to give back to Yorkton in the way we do,” continued McMurdo. “We are grateful for this donation and the strong support we have received from SaskTel TelCare. Last year the TelCare donation helped us to purchase the surgical microscope we needed to continue the cataract surgery program, and this year their donation will go towards the lab equipment we are raising funds for,” said Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation.

Rural infrastructure receives boost The Government of Saskatchewan is investing $14 million to improve rural roads, bridges and culverts throughout Saskatchewan. The Municipal Roads for the Economy Program (MREP) provides funding for municipal roads impacted by increased truck traffic, as well as bridge and culvert projects. “The rural municipal road system plays an important part in getting our exports
to market.” Highways and Infrastructure Minister David Marit said. “Our investment in MREP supports municipalities and plays an important part in keeping our economy strong.” MREP is administered by the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM). Grants cover up to 50 per cent of the costs of road projects and 30 to 90 per cent of the costs of bridge and culvert projects. Eleven rural
Municipalities will be receiving grants this year. Funding for the program remains the same as last year. The Clearing the Path (CTP) corridors will receive a significant portion of this year’s program grants. This year, $6.6 million dollars will be invested in its operation and maintenance. The CTP provides rural communities with access to primary weight roads in order to help facilitate economic
development. “We appreciate the government’s continued support for rural Saskatchewan,” SARM President Ray Orb said. “Saskatchewan’s growth is fueled by resource exports and MREP ensures money is invested back into the rural transportation system that supports those exports.” Highlights of the 2018 MREP grants include: •Five bridge and culvert
projects worth $2.89 million; •Six heavy haul high volume road construction projects worth $3.5 million; and
•One Clearing the Path road construction project worth $750,000.
The Government of Saskatchewan has invested $271.35 million in rural infrastructure through MREP since 2008, over and above municipal revenue sharing.

Filmmaker captures Saskatchewan farm’s struggles, triumphs By Sean Mott Staff Writer Some documentary filmmakers can feel like interlopers in the stories they choose to tell. For Kolby Kostyniuk, making his latest film was like returning to his natural habitat. “Doing this movie felt like going home,” he said. Kostyniuk’s documentary, “Boom or Bust on the Simpson Family Farm,” opens with a text crawl explaining how the number of Saskatchewan family farms has fallen from over 142,000 to under 35,000 during the last 80 years. It’s a harsh statistic.
The film explores one such family farm, which is run by two brothers, Trevor and Jason Simpson. “[It’s a] window into the life of the Saskatchewan farmer,” Kostyniuk said. “[There are] a lot of struggles and disagreements.” Kostyniuk will introduce the Simpson brothers to Yorkton at the upcoming film festival. His documentary is in the running for the Ruth Shaw Award (Best of Saskatchewan). Kostyniuk, who received a nomination for Best Student Production at YFF last year, is thrilled to return to the festival.
Trevor (left) and Jason Simpson talk during a scene in “Boom or Bust on the Simpson Family Farm.” “It feels great [to be nominated],” he said. “YFF is an awesome opportunity.”
Wally Start, the owner of Bamboo Shoots, the production company that backed Kostyniuk’s film,
is over the moon with the director’s nomination. “I feel honoured that it caught the judges’
eyes,” he said. Kostyniuk said the story of the farm fell into his lap. “[The brothers] invited me into their lives,” he said. During filming, Kostyniuk aimed to be upfront and straightforward with his storytelling. “I tried to tell it as honestly as possible,” he said. That honesty revealed some blunt moments, as the brother routinely speak their minds throughout the film. “These farmers are rough around the edges, but they’re charismatic,” Kostyniuk said.

Short documentary tackles FASD By Sean Mott Staff Writer A team of recent university graduates are bringing their intimate documentary to the Yorkton Film Festival (YFF) to compete for the Ruth Shaw Award. Brandon Harder, Emily Pasiuk, Cheryl Lu,
and Allison Bamford worked together in a University of Regina class earlier this year. They had three months to make a compelling documentary. Their finished product, “Terms and Conditions,” is one of five entries in the Best of Saskatchewan category. “[The nomination]
came as a shock,” said Bamford, who edited the film. “I didn’t have a whole lot of expectations going into it.” “Terms and Conditions,” a 22-minute documentary, follows a complicated motherdaughter relationship. The daughter lives with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum
Disorder (FASD) due to her mother drinking during her pregnancy. The film tracks the daily routine of the family while highlighting their past struggles. The film tackles themes of parental guilt and the possibility of forgiveness. “There’s a lot of layers to this [movie],” Bamford
said. Bamford discovered the family and reached out to them for the documentary. They agreed to share intimate details about their life stories. “The family was gracious enough to allow us into their lives,” Bamford said. “The truths they told us were incredible
and sensitive. “[They] open.”

Connection to Yorkton’s past ...
Student bonds with filmmaker By Sean Mott Staff Writer Weiye Su’s seven-minute experimental film opens with a shot of a window. As light fills the screen, Su narrates his experience with Saskatchewan’s vast expanses of land and sky. The window fades into a wide shot of the Prairies in the winter. A woman, superimposed over the flatlands, turns to look at the viewer. She is Evelyn Cherry.
Su’s film, called “Evelyn and I,” is an odd beast. Su describes it as “docuexperimental...sort of like mockumentary.” It combines factual elements with artistic flourishes. It’s a hard film to classify, but it does fit into one category: The Best of Saskatchewan competition. “Evelyn and I” is in the running for the Ruth Shaw Award at the Yorkton Film Festival (YFF). “I didn’t expect to be nominated,” Su said.
“Evelyn and I,” in Su’s words, explores the lives of “two generations of Saskatchewan filmmakers.” “I wanted to talk about what’s happening now and what happened in the past,” he said. Su centers himself as the contemporary filmmaker in the movie, detailing his connections with a figure from Canada’s film past: Evelyn Spice Cherry. Cherry was born in Yorkton in 1904. She established herself as one of the
most important voices in Canadian cinema. In the 1930s and 1940s, she contributed to the influential British Documentary Movement. In 1941, she joined the National Film Commission (later named the National Film Board), working in their Agriculture Films Unit. Late in life, she founded Cherry Films Ltd., which focused on social and environmental issues. She died in Victoria, B.C., at the age of 90. Continued on Page A16

Hort spring plant and bulb sale Fri. By now, we’ve all got the gardening bug! If you’re looking for new plants for your garden, don’t miss the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society’s Spring Plant and Bulb Sale, Friday, May 25 from 9:30 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. at the Parkland Mall, Yorkton. There will be a great selection of plants at very reasonable prices, and gardeners on hand to answer your questions. If you are looking for a specific plant, my advice is to be there when the sale begins at 9:30 a.m. Sometimes things move along very quickly! Perhaps you are looking for garden space? A new community gardens is in the works; gardeners do not have to pay a fee for a garden plot. Call Warren at (306) 782-3249 for more information about this. I’d like to congratulate our three Iron Gardeners from our last meeting: Allona Zeiben, Ed Sek, and Frank Woloschuk. They did an amazing job of planting up three beautiful containers with mystery plants and props. It was great fun and we all enjoyed it! Thank you to our Iron Gardeners for being such good sports; to our commentator Keith Hayward; our time-keeper Marie Monka; and to our great and enthusiastic members who cheered them on! I can’t stress enough that anyone can garden. I think we all know the huge gardens that were so common in the past are now but a memory for many gardeners. Most gardens are much smaller; some people have no garden at all. Their “garden” may be a collection of containers on the back step or deck. But there are many plants that can be grown in containers with great success: tomatoes, peppers and herbs. There are bush varieties of cucumbers. Lettuce makes a beautiful planter and does very well in a container; how delicious and handy to pick your salad just outside your door! And tuck in a few onion bulbs among
DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
Gardener’s Notebook your flowering containers: you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the size they will grow into, and in the fall you’ll end up with a nice “bonus” dish of onions! If your garden space is limited, consider planting veggies into your flower beds among your flowers. Have you heard the term “edible landscaping?” When you have a few minutes to spare, type “edible landscaping” into your computer. You’ll find all kinds of suggestions on how to make the most of your space. There is a book called “Edible Landscaping” by Rosalind Creasy. She is a gardener who pioneered this concept decades ago, and what a wonderful idea it is! If you see this book in a bookstore, it would be an invaluable reference to add to your garden library. Further to this, I read a great article by Rosalind Creasy in Mother Earth News talking about the amazing amount of produce she
grew in a 100 square foot garden. She kept track of what she harvested, and this would be an interesting exercise for any of us. The most astonishing part is when she priced out what she grew, and realized that she had saved over six hundred dollars by growing a garden in what used to be a very small patch of lawn. So just because you don’t have all kinds of space to work with, you can still grow a delicious and productive “garden”. It may not be the traditional garden grown in the traditional way, but it can still be very satisfying! Keep going, gardeners! With that taste of hot weather that we had last week, it’s time to be careful of the sun. Be sure to use sunscreen. And always wear a hat! Visit our website at www.yorktonhort.ca; you’ll find the latest news on the group’s activities, as well as useful information on a variety of topics. Have a great week!

Looking forward to a change of pace at a summer place The seasonal site where we’ve parked our new-to-us camping trailer for the summer is close enough to home to commute back and forth easily. We hope to do that often. On our first afternoon at camp, our daughter Amanda and I and a few of the grandchildren made our way to the beach at nearby Good Spirit Provincial Park. Our family has some history with Good Spirit Lake. In recent years, her family has camped near it all summer, most every summer. But when she and her brother were young, thanks to the generosity of family friends, we often stayed in a lakefront cottage; always in
September. While the Preacher commuted back and forth to town on church business, the children and I spent the days savoring the sweetness of cottage life. We had no electronics then. We hiked, biked, read and paddled in the cottage’s old canoe. (Most Septembers the water had grown too cold for swimming.) One year I built a willow chair as a gift for our friends, to thank them for the loan of their family retreat. The place felt massive; a spacious maze of staircases and hallways, with five bedrooms and a screened in porch facing the lake. Amanda took the red room upstairs, Anthony the bunk room

on the north wing. Each had a view of the lake and their own staircase. They liked that. The Preacher and I used the room on the ground floor facing the water. We liked that too. Some days we hiked to the sand dunes at the south end of Good Spirit. I took a photo of Amanda there, wearing jeans
and a long periwinkle shirt, sitting halfway up a dune. Her long blonde hair blew in the breeze, her gaze fixed in the distance. The shot reminds me of me at her age. The Burrard Inlet, a crooked and salty finger stretch-
ing out from the Pacific, sat mere steps and across the park from our backyard. It ran thick with log booms, freighters, tugboats and recreational craft. I often sat at the water. Just looking. Good Spirit Lake, in September, had no such floating clutter. I remember its silence most. Summer houses sat shuttered, campgrounds and beach had emptied of vacationers. Only the seagulls, geese and herons kept us company, and a few other shorebirds I couldn’t identify. We’ll get to know that lake in a busier season now. We’ll make differ-

ent memories in our wee home on wheels. But more than ever, I realize that God’s blessings grow richer when shared – that that is his intent with all his gifts. Returning to our home and work refreshed, we’ll have opportunity to enjoy and pass on the fruit of a change of pace; a relaxed spirit and uncluttered mind. Of time spent nearer nature, nearer each other, and in closer communion with God and family. Some things at home may not get done this summer. But other things, things long overdue, just may.

STUDENT Continued from Page A13 Su, a university student, first heard about Cherry during a Canadian film theory class. He was drawn to her work, but he was frustrated by the lack of coverage on her career. “[There’s] not much information about her,” he said. Due to the sparse details on Cherry, Su took
an experimental approach with his film on her, combining facts with his personal flair. He used an actress (Norma Adams) to portray Cherry, having her walk through the prairies and narrate her thoughts. “[There’s] a lot of fictional style [in the movie],” he said. In the winter of 2017, Su took his camera to the Saskatchewan prairies,
capturing the harsh beauty of the endless snow and ice. It was bracing experience. “I grew up in tropical cities,” he said. “[I] managed to survive. “Winter is beautiful.” Su found common ground with Cherry in their shared love for Saskatchewan’s prairies, a fact he highlights in the movie.
“I’m a landscape lover,” he said. “That’s what connects her and I.” Su will be attending
YFF on May 25. “I appreciate the nomination,” he said. “Evelyn and I” will be
screened at the Ravine Room in the Gallagher Centre on May 25 at 3:20 p.m.
Evelyn Cherry (portrayed by Norma Adams) soaks in the Saskatchewan landscape during this scene from “Evelyn and I.”

FASD Continued from Page A13 “[We were always] grappling with time,” Bamford said. “We had a lot of work to do.” Bamford feels the story is worth telling, which is why the team poured so much energy into it. “Making this doc was something we were all passionate about,” she said.
When the team finished “Terms and Conditions,” they only submitted it to one festival: YFF. They’re thrilled to bring their work to Yorkton. “To grab this nomination is huge,” Bamford said. “Being a student-made doc in this category [is great].” “Terms and Conditions” will be screened in the “mini-cinema” room.
Continued from Page A13 At 39 minutes, “Boom or Bust on the Simpson Family Farm” is easily the longest film competiting for the Ruth Shaw Award. According to Kostyniuk, the documentary could have been even longer. “My first cut [of the film] was an hour long,” he said.
“The hardest thing for the team [to do] was to cut [the film] down to its essence,” Start said. Kostyniuk is proud of his film. He hopes he can return to the subject matter. “I would love to do another doc like this,” he said. Looking ahead to YFF, Kostyniuk is excited to
share his work and speak with like-minded artists. “Connecting with the community of Yorkton is huge,” he said. “I’m looking forward to talking to people about our craft.” “Boom or Bust on the Simpson Family Farm” will be screened on May 25 at the BMO Sports Lounge in the Gallagher Centre at 11:30 a.m.

Tune-up
Dozens of car enthusiasts flocked to the Yorkton Regional Airport on May 20 for an afternoon of drag races. Participants engaged in quick car races and talked shop at the day-long “Test and Tune” event.
June is rec month in city By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer June has been proclaimed Recreation and Parks Month in the city by Council. In conjunction with the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association, the City of Yorkton has been promoting the month for many years, Taylor Morrison, Recreation Services Manager, with the City told the regular meeting of Council May 14. “This is the time to celebrate the return of summer, promote outdoor physical activities, and gather neighbours together to enhance a sense of community,” he said. “By proclaiming June as Recreation and Parks Month, Yorkton will help to recognize the impact that employees and volunteers have on the many
recreational and parks opportunities that we all use and enjoy. It will also help to foster the endless benefits that recreational activities, facilities and parks have on the overall quality of life here in Saskatchewan.” Some of the benefits as outlined by the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association include: *Recreation improves longevity and prolongs independent living for older adults. *Parks offer safe, accessible and low cost or no cost opportunities for recreation and active living. *Quality recreation facilities and parks can attract events, which can increase the economic vitality of a community. *Parks, trails and pathways save energy and protect air quality by encouraging active trans-
portation. *Parks and recreation facilities provide a space for neighbours to gather and get to know one another, reducing isolation, and hereby creating a community support network. The Community Development, Parks & Recreation department has several activities planned for this first month of summer: *Program planning for the S-CAPE Summer Program. *Accepting entries for the annual Yorkton in Bloom competition. *Two Park Parties, scheduled for June 14th at Silver Heights Park, showcasing the newly renovated spray park and outdoor rink completed last year, and for June 22nd at Waterloo Park as well. The proclamation was unanimous for Council.

Is Vegas success good for hockey? Out of respect I do ask that you pause for a moment of silence for the last Canadian team to have a chance to win the Stanley Cup. My favourite team the Winnipeg Jets had an outstanding season, but ultimately are just one of 30 losers in terms of achieving the ultimate goal among National Hockey League teams; winning Lord Stanley’s famed cup. What I have to say is less the loss in the semifinal, but the how they lost, and to whom they fell. In some respects the Jets losing in four straight has to be looked at as a major stumble, if not an outright choke. They won the series opener and then had nothing go right. The Jets got big points
out of Blake Wheeler 18 assists best in playoffs as of Monday, Mark Scheifele, 16 goals best in goals, and Dustin Byfuglien, but the rest of the team didn’t pop the timely secondary scoring you need at times to succeed. It exasperated the problem as the Jets powerplay was rather woeful in the series. Connor Hellebuyck played solid, but his shaky handling of the puck behind the net blossomed as a major weakness that cost goals. Vegas, to their credit, pounced on every Jets mistake, and there were a number of them, turning them into goals on too many occasions. And with Hellebuyck was good, Marc-Andre Fleury was outstand-
CALVIN DANIELS
Opinion ing, with a playoff goals against average now at 1.68. In the playoffs the importance of goaltending is magnified. In the end a great Jets season ended on a definite sour note. But at least I am now free to disc golf and fish, and enjoy the nice weather, since the playoffs for me are over. I won’t be watching the final, and really don’t much care who wins. That said, I am sure
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman is hoping for a Vegas win. There will be a definite media bump from this in the U.S. where hockey is still generally a distant fourth among pro sports, and soon to fall back of Major League Soccer. An expansion team in a final will be seen as one of those weird and whacky anomalies that media loves. Strange sells, and this is a very strange occurrence.
From a league perspective, give Bettman credit he made sure that Vegas was going to be solid, helping hire early staff, and giving a deeper pool of talent to pick from. The NHL needed Vegas to be more than another expansion team chew toy for the established opposition. Bettman dreams of further expansion, not Quebec City that was a snow job promise on his anti-Canadian team part, but certainly Seattle, Houston and beyond (bet Kansas City resurfaces for one). The $600 million-plus per team goes to bolster the pocketbooks for owners in money-losing markets to prop up Bettman’s empire, and it is money exempt from
revenue-sharing with players. Of course players are fine with expansion as it creates new jobs. The question is, what message does the Vegas success mean, in part orchestrated by the NHL from day-one, to existing teams and their fans. How do the St. Louis Blues appease fans who haven’t been to a Stanley Cup final in decades? Or in Vancouver? Buffalo? And if Vegas wins it all the questions expand to fans in a dozen cities where teams have never won a cup. As for me, my attention will be on the Saskatchewan Rush in the National Lacrosse League crown, the startup of the Saskatchewan Roughriders and not the NHL final.
CWE’s anniversary show brings high-octane action to Yorkton By Sean Mott Staff Writer Canadian Wrestling Elite’s top stars laid the smack down on each other during a night of professional wrestling action at Yorkdale Central School on May 15. Wrestlers and fans filled the school gym last Tuesday for an evening of six matches. The event was part of CWE’s “9 Damn! Years” tour, a cross-country celebration of the company’s neardecade of existence. WWE Hall of Famer Ron Simmons is accompanying CWE for this tour. He met fans and signed autographs before the show and during an intermission. The event began at 7 p.m. with an opening contest between “The Zombie Hunter” Mentallo and CWE Canadian Unified Junior Heavyweight champion “Tornado” Tony Kozina. The wrestlers fought over Kozina’s belt. Mentallo won via count-out, but titles can only change hands by pinfall or submission, so Kozina held onto his gold. East Coast sensation Maddison Miles pinned “The Queen of the Okanagan” Scarlett Black.
Franco Varga showed off some impressive dance moves and strength, but he was no match for Charlie Winston in their match. CWE champion Tyler Colton and “Hotshot” Danny Duggan joined forces to battle the Cannon Clan (“The Crazed Cowboy” Jacob Creed and “The Rebel” Bobby Collins) for the CWE Tag Team championships. Ron Simmons served as a special guest enforcer in the match. Duggan and Colton overcame the rambunctious rednecks to win the tag team belts. After the match, Colton revealed that May 15 was Ron Simmons’ birthday. The crowd serenaded Simmons (who turned 60) with a rendition of “Happy Birthday.” Simmons thanked the audience for their enthusiasm. The Big Chief squashed an energetic Alex Anthony in a short match. In the main event, “The Canadian Crusher” AJ Sanchez squared off against Roy “Flash” Gordon. Sanchez overcame Gordon’s high-flying arsenal by using the ropes for leverage to steal a pinfall victory. CWE’s next tour stop is May 16 in Melfort. They will return to Yorkton on Oct. 26.
Wrestlers filled Yorkdale’s gym with the sounds of suplexes, chest chops, and bodyslams on May. 15.

Canadian Tire support recognized By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Canadian Tire Jumpstart Day has been proclaimed for May 26 in the city and Jumpstart Month for June. The dual proclamation was a unanimous decision of Yorkton Council at its regular meeting Monday, May 14. “The vision and mission of Canadian Tire Jumpstart is simple: Canada, where all kids have a chance to fulfill their dreams. Jumpstart is proud to be part of making these dreams possible,” said Cecilia Lamb,
Money raised in each Jumpstart Chapter stays within the community and goes directly to help kids between the ages of 4 – 18 ... — Cecilia Lamb, Big Brothers Big Sisters with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yorkton and Area Inc in making the request. “Money raised in each
Jumpstart Chapter stays within the community and goes directly to help kids between the ages of 4 – 18 participate
in sport and physical activity. A kid’s life can be enriched through physical activity but that doesn’t mean it comes without a cost. And sometimes families need a little help to get their kids involved. For thousands of Canadian families, Jumpstart is the help they need to get into the game. Jumpstart knows that physical activity isn’t just about soccer fields, ice rinks, karate mats and baseball diamonds. Physical activity is the key to what we fund. The list is long (more than 70 activities) and every kid can find something they would like to do for the
love of play. Funding is available for qualified applicants to offset registration fees, equipment and transportation costs. It can help tighten the financial gap by providing funding of up to $600 per child in a fiscal year.” In 2017, our YorktonMelville Chapter in total with the help of local partners including Big Brothers Big Sisters, City of Yorkton and Boys and Girls Club supported a total of 425 kids. We have heard some amazing stories from 322 children we at Big Brothers Big Sisters referred in 2017, explained Lamb.
New chess variant looked better than it was Paco Sako is one of those games I was literally drooling to get my hands on. It was a case of love at first sight when I happened upon this very uniquely styled chess variant. Unfortunately, like a pretty girl in the dark lights of a night club, by the light of a new day the early infatuation faded rather quickly. “The name Paco Sako (pronounced ‘Paco Schaaco’), comes from Espersanto where Paco means peace, and Sako means chess. On a conceptual level, the goal of the game is to find a way to achieve peace, through forming unions. In practice it adds a whole new dimension to this game. You can also play traditional chess using the Paco Sako set,” explains the rulebook. The game at its heart is chess. In fact the pieces are a standard chess array, so there is immediate familiarity with the game’s piece movement if you have ever played standard chess. That familiarity is a plus for taking on the challenge of Paco Sako. I will digress here just a trifle to say the pieces themselves are quite dramatic. They have something of an ‘art deco’ look, and since it is a standard array you can use the pieces to just play chess.
This is good to know since you will want to go that route most days. “The game is played by two players sitting opposite each other, each with their own color, goal, and strategy. In Paco Sako, players do not ‘take’ each other’s pieces, but form ‘unions’ with them, creating unique gameplay with new tactics, patterns and versatile game scenarios. In this tactical and strategic thinking game, the winner is the first player who manages to create a union with the king of the other player, putting him in ‘Paco Sako’,” denotes the ruleset. That sounds rather promising, but never quite delivers for me. Paco Sako is a chess variant that in the end is so far removed from chess it’s essentially an entirely new game. Now that would seem a good thing, unfortunately the new game here is far less exciting than I had hoped for. In Paco Sako pieces are never removed from the board. Instead of capturing a piece you create a union between your piece and one of your opponent’s pieces by moving yours into the same square as an opponent’s piece. At that point either player can move the joined piece in accordance with the movement of their piece
THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com in the union. That on the surface is a neat idea but a queen / rook union, or a union between two bishops, or knights, and a few other possibilities all set up the potential for infinite loops of movement which essentially creates stalemate. If there is one thing any chess game doesn’t need it’s another way to force stalemate.
You might house rule that a player cannot move the union last moved, but that is a clunky, inelegant patch as best. When a union is created, the two pieces involved are also basically neutered in terms of game play. They can be moved around the board, but are unable to affect capture. This is highly

counter-intuitive for a chess player. In fact, they only offer this game’s version of check, when lined up with another player which can break a union and free a piece to threaten, or capture the king. The king too has been completely emasculated here. It cannot capture a piece because there is no capture. The king can only run, or more correctly limp away since it can only move one square at the best of time. Now I have an online friend who likes that this game pushes boundaries pretty hard, evolving Paco Sako into a game that is more its own creation than a chess variant. I’d suggest there are many games that have

a chess-heart that are unique offerings, Arimaa and Terrace coming to mind. They have a chesslike appeal but are games with unique mechanics and features. But this one sells itself as a chess variant and must thus be judged on that criteria, and with that in mind I would opt for anything from the simplest variant Pocket Knight Chess, through Spartan Chess, Plunder Chess and a bunch more I deem better than Paco Sako. But I do still love the pieces. Thanks to fellow gamer Adam Daniels for his help in running through this game for review.

The start of bike season means it’s a good time to make sure you’re riding safely. The Community Bike Rodeo gave families in Yorkton the chance to make sure
that their bikes were safe to ride and remember the rules of the road.
First community bike rodeo helps kids ride By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The spring thaw means bikes escape from the garages, basements and sheds of Yorkton families, ready to hit the road. After a winter without wheels, kids might need a reminder of how to ride safely, and their bikes might need a check-
up to get back to roadworthiness. The Community Bike Rodeo was an opportunity to get kids back on their bikes and refreshed on how to ride safely. Sheila Hryniuk, chair of the Yorkton Active Transportation Collaborative, said that the main priority was to educate and create
awareness around bike safety. The goal was to create a family event, so parents can help their children ride safely and remind them of the rules of the road. There were several attractions through the evening. Kids had their bikes inspected by members of the RCMP and Yorkton Fire Protective

Services. The Yorkton Film Festival screened a short film about bike safety. The Yorkton Co-op donated food and drinks for the fire department to barbecue for families. The RCMP also set up the bike rodeo course. Sport Chek sponsored prizes, such as locks and helmets. There have been bike
rodeos in the school system for a number of years, but this is the first community rodeo. Hryniuk explained that since the school program focuses on grade 3, their goal with the community rodeo was to reach kids that don’t take part in the school program, such as very young kids which have not gone through
the program, or older kids that might need a refresher of the rules of the road and how to ride safely. The goal is also to include parents, so they can help their kids ride safely. This is their first rodeo, and they plan on making it an annual event.

BORYS - With sadness, the family of Grace Loretta Pearl Borys (nee Donald) announce her peaceful passing at the Saltcoats Lakeside Manor Care Home on May 15, 2018 at the age of 91 years. Grace was predeceased by her loving husband, Michael, who passed away in 2010. Grace and Michael married on September 6, 1947 and spent 62 years working the land in the Peach View District on their family farm. Grace kept very busy on the farm and participated in all aspects of farm life. Between hauling grain, pitching bales and typical farm chores, she grew a huge garden, canned the produce and made all her cooking from scratch! While raising four children, Grace kept an immaculate house, was a proficient seamstress and still found time to knit. She was an avid reader and knowledgeable about current events. She loved flowers, especially lilies and her border collie, Chip. Grace was born in Yorkton and returned there when Michael went to live in the nursing home in 2009. She lived at Queen Elizabeth Court until she moved to the Lakeside Manor in Saltcoats. Grace was predeceased by her husband, Michael, her son, Dennis, her parents Milton and Harriet, stepmother Doris, brother Norman and two sisters-in-law, Laura and Edna. She leaves to mourn and cherish her memory, her children, Douglas (Lynda), Carol (Murray), Marie (Allen), and Dennis’ widow, Darlene. Her grandchildren, Jason (Leanne), Trevor (Lindsay) and Tracy (Hugh) and great-grandchildren Brandon, MaKenna, Addyson, Alexander and Samantha. Funeral Services for Grace Borys were held on May 18, 2018 at 2 p.m. from the Chapel of Christie’s Funeral Home with Roland Legge officiating. Donations in memory of Grace may be made to the Saltcoats Lakeside Manor.

Nude model in a mall News of the Weird
Oops A man playing with a baseball on the roof of a parking structure in Honolulu on March 23 had to be rescued by firefighters after he fell into the space between two buildings and got stuck, KHON2 TV reported. Security guard Ray Rodrigues was dispatched to the roof to run the 55-year-old off, but found the man had fallen into a 7- to 9-inchwide space between the cement walls. When pulling him out with a rope failed, firefighters resorted to using drills and saws to cut through the concrete to free him. He was taken to a hospital in serious condition. Questionable Judgments — Shoppers at the Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, got more than they bargained for on April 8, 2017, as model Chelsea Guerra, 22, of Indiana Borough and photographer Michael Warnock, 64, of Point Breeze conducted a nude photo shoot around 11 a.m. According to the Pittsburgh TribuneReview, as Warnock took photos and families looked on, Guerra walked around and posed wearing only thigh-high black stockings and high-heeled shoes. In early March of this year, Guerra and Warnock pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct after other charges were dropped, and paid a $300 fine. “My nude modeling is honest work,” Guerra said, “and I use it mostly to fund my college career.” — A dairy truck driver lost his job in early March after being caught on a surveillance camera urinating near dairy cows in a barn at Tremblay Farm in Highgate, Vermont. While no charges were filed, Monica Massey of the Dairy Farmers of America said the driver’s behavior was unacceptable. “We saw the videos. What we saw was deplorable,” Massey said told WCAX TV. Darleen Tremblay said she was “shattered” by what she saw on the video. “I couldn’t move. I froze and I shook,” she added. General Employment

Impossible to escape from popular music Before writing this column, on a distant radio, the song Meant to Be by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line played. This ruined the day of at least two people within earshot of the radio, especially me, because that song is the second-worst song ever recorded. The worst song ever recorded is Beautiful Girls by Sean Kingston. Earlier in the day, I had a conversation with a few coworkers about why the most popular bands are the ones who draw the most hatred. I have a theory behind that. Popular music gets hated because it’s harder to avoid, so being forced to
hear a song you otherwise might merely dislike over and over again makes you hate it more than you would otherwise. A more obscure act, by contrast, won’t generate the same level of hatred because you can avoid it. This is the reason why I hate Beautiful Girls. It’s not so much that the song is bad – though it is absolutely terrible – it is because it was bad but I couldn’t do anything about it. At the time I was working a job which piped in Top 40 radio, and because this was one of the 40 songs that the station had deemed acceptable to listen to at any given point, it got
DEVIN WILGER
Thinking I do with words... played. It got played a lot, in fact, at least two times a day, if not more. It was on constant rotation. A song I merely disliked quickly became the worst song ever recorded, because I couldn’t just turn it off. It was constant, it was everywhere, it was bad. That’s the same deal
with Meant to Be. First time I heard it, I just found the chorus really annoying but that was fine, it’s not like I’m listening to it on purpose. But it got played a lot. It’s there at work, it’s there when I go to the store. A friend actually really likes it and insists on playing it a lot, which
makes it worse. A mere annoyance has been elevated to the pantheon of awful music, sliding up above the Macarena because at least that was 20 years ago. If I think of an obscure song I don’t like, it’s not going to raise the same ire. I think My Girls by Animal Collective is bad, for example, but if I heard it on the radio I wouldn’t have much of a reaction. It was never popular enough to get a lot of airplay, if I wanted to listen to it I would have to on purpose. I’m sure plenty of people reading this don’t know the band or the music, and they’re not going to have an opinion on it either. After I
decided the song was bad, I didn’t listen to it again, and nobody was playing it in the mall. Popular music isn’t worse than other music, as a rule, as much as there are people who want to claim that their taste in music makes them better in some way. Instead, popular music is harder to escape than other music, so the popular songs you hate you begin to hate with an intensity you wouldn’t feel for other music. A bad song from an obscure band? Turn it off. A bad song from a popular one? Well the grocery store is going to get very angry if you smash their PA system...
SaskPower warning about scammers SaskPower has been seeing a significant increase in fraudulent activity in the province. Scammers pretending to represent SaskPower have been known to call, email and even physically visit businesses. The scammers claim that unless the resident or business submit payment on the spot, their power would be disconnected immediately. Scammers have also been known to ask for payment through untraceable cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. SaskPower does
not deal with overdue accounts in this manner, but works with customers on repayment arrangements to avoid disconnection wherever possible. We also do not deal in payment using cryptocurrency. If you doubt the authenticity of a call, email or person claiming to be from SaskPower, contact our customer service line at 1-888-757-6937. A representative there will be able to quickly confirm the status of your account. SaskPower is working
with authorities to fully investigate the matter. If you or someone you know suspect they are being targeted by scammers, please report it to your local police department and SaskPower. Please also consider reporting the incident to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.

Women Entrepreneurs Week proclaimed The week of May 20-26 has been proclaimed as Women Entrepreneurs Week in Saskatchewan. The week recognizes the success of women entrepreneurs across the province and celebrates their contributions to our communities and the economy. “I would like to thank Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan for their tireless work supporting women entrepreneurs across the province,” Minister Responsible for the Status of Women Tina Beaudry-Mellor said. “Not only do women make a significant contribution to our economy through entrepreneurship, they’re also bringing new ideas and innovations to the marketplace. Through it all, Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan is there to guide and support them every step of the way.” “ W o m e n Entrepreneurs Week is held each year to recognize the innovative, hard-working and talented Saskatchewan women who have started
their own businesses, developed their own careers, and created their own futures,” Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “I wish all of Saskatchewan’s women entrepreneurs continued success and thank them for their advocacy for women, support of their peers and contributions to our province’s economy.” There are 34,600 women in Saskatchewan that are self-employed, reflecting a 16.5 per cent growth over the last ten years – the third highest growth rate in Canada. Saskatchewan’s women entrepreneurs contribute to the economy in many sectors such as construction, manufacturing, health services, finance and technology. In conjunction with Women Entrepreneurs Week, Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan Inc. (WESK) is holding its two-day annual business conference in Regina. The 2018 conference is focused around
the theme “Resilience: Tragedy to Triumph, Failure to Success” and features speakers Jess Tetu (owner, Just For You Day Spas and Founder and CEO, Lia Reese Canada), Candyce Fiessel (Owner, The Style Academy and Shear Escape Salon and Spa) and Eric Dillon (CEO, Conexus Credit Union). “We are grateful to the Government of Saskatchewan for dedicating this week to acknowledging and celebrating the contributions of women entrepreneurs in our province,” WESK CEO Prabha Mitchell said. “As we make strides in closing the gender and entrepreneurship gap, the impact of female entrepreneurs on the economy of Saskatchewan will multiply enormously.” WESK is a non-profit organization that works with Saskatchewan women to assist them with starting, buying or expanding a business and to achieve their entrepreneurial goals.

Degree sparks necessary debate
Shortly after completing my PhD in the U.S., I taught in the University of Alberta’s genetics department. It’s also where I started my broadcasting career. I’m honoured that the university is giving me an honorary degree for being “the face of environmental consciousness to generations of Canadians as well as viewers in more than 40 countries worldwide.” Although I’m just one of 13 people receiving honorary degrees in June, my award has stirred up controversy. As flattering as it is to be made the fulcrum of debate surrounding fossil fuels, climate change and humanity’s future, this isn’t about me. After all, what I say about economics, planetary boundaries and the need to shift priorities is no different than what economists, scientists, philosophers and numerous other experts around the world have been saying for years. If nothing else, it’s good that a healthy debate about corporate influence over academic institutions and issues around climate-disrupting energy sources has emerged from it. Too often, though, the discussion has strayed from topics that need attention into personal attacks. If a university, especially one in the heart of oil country, isn’t the place to air a range of ideas about the geophysical, social and economic consequences of profligate fossil fuel use, we should be worried about the future of academic inquiry. During the brouhaha, people have taken issue with my characterization of conventional economic thinking (although they often leave out the “conventional” part). I’m not an economist, but my ideas are informed by economists, and they’re not novel. Oxford economist Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics, recently told me John Maynard Keynes would be roll-
system to supporting oilsands and fossil fuel infrastructure expansion while claiming a commitment to addressing climate change. Nothing grows forever. Why do we think human populations, resource extraction, economies, industrial activity and cities can keep growing? Where does it end? Like cancer, is it when growth destroys the host? I respect the differences of opinion about how we should conduct ourselves in a time of staggering population growth, climate change, biodiversity decline and numerous other problems of our own making. ing in his grave if he knew we were applying his early But surely we can agree on basics.
