Guilty verdict in $1.25 million fraud trial By Devin Wilger Staff Writer A Moosomin, SK man was found guilty in Yorkton Court of Queen’s Bench of fraud over $5,000 and forging cheques after a trial centering around his time as an employee of Prairie Livestock Joint Venture. Gregor Gmerek was
found guilty of defrauding the company of over $1.25 million. Gmerek was fired in Sept. 2012 after over $700,000 of payments to himself were discovered. He was charged with defrauding the company by issuing forged cheques to himself and then cancelling the payment in the company’s accounting software.
The defense in the case argued that it wasn’t fraud, but ‘off the books’ payment agreed upon with company owner Kevin Sinclair. In her decision, Justice Janice McMurtry did not find the defence’s argument credible, especially as such an agreement did not appear to benefit the company itself. Evidence used by the defense to
support their argument, which included loans to employees to allow them to buy vehicles, would have been advantageous to the company - such as giving salespeople vehicles in order to do their jobs - while the payments to Gmerek did not appear to have much value to anyone other than himself. She also noted that the payments issued to
Gmerek did not fit the same pattern as payments issued to other employees. Another issue in the case was currency speculation that Gmerek did with the company accounts, which he claimed was encouraged by Sinclair, but McMurtry did not believe he was authorized to do this. McMurtry did note
that she did not believe every instance outlined in the indictment was not authorized. For example, she noted that she believed it possible that flowers purchased for Gmerek’s father’s funeral were authorized by the company. Gmerek will be sentenced on Jul. 9.
q Social Activism Club project ... By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer
Lil’ free library launches
The city has its first ‘Little Free Library’, (LFL), thanks to the efforts of the Social Activism Club, (SAC), at the Yorkton Regional High School. “The first Little Free Library was built in 2009 by Todd Bol in Hudson, Wisconsin. He mounted a wooden container designed to look like a one-room schoolhouse on a post on his lawn and filled it with books as a tribute to his mother, who was a book lover and school teacher. Bol shared his idea with his partner, Rick Brooks, and the idea spread rapidly, soon becoming a ‘global sensation’,” explained Jordan Stewart a member of the SAC at the unveiling of the LFL Thursday.

“The Little Free Library soon became a non-profit organization and currently there are more than 70,000 registered Little Free Library book-sharing boxes in 85 countries worldwide. It is our goal to become one of the registered libraries with the organization,” continued Andy Mclennar, also with the SAC. With the template in place, the school group decided to take a LFL on as a project, said Katya Andersen, with the SAC. “The Social Activism Club at the YRHS was inspired by Todd Bol and when we researched the various kinds of little libraries online we decided to create and build our own Lil’ Library for the city of Yorkton,” she said. The project is not just for the school, noted SAC member

intention is to get the community and neighbourhood involved, to encourage a love for reading and to be inspired by it, and to inspire creativity. The goal is to unite the community through literature, just like it brought our group together and made our bond stronger,” she said during the unveiling. “By building this library we are hoping to inspire our amazing community and to start a chain reaction in the hopes that more Lil’ Free Libraries will be built in Yorkton, and other communities,” continued Payton Corkum. The SAC built the small library box, located in the school parking lot along Gladstone Ave, with the help of teacher Andrew Pearce, explained Kira Ring of the SAC.

Flags for everyone By Sean Mott Staff Writer Gary Gott didn’t always understand the importance of the Treaty 4 flag. As a younger man, Gott, a member of Sapotaweyak Cree Nation, didn’t fully appreciate the flag. Now he sees its value. “[The flag] represents all the people in my bloodline,” he said. “Their blood runs in my veins.” Gott spoke with students at Sacred Heart High School on Jun. 11. He was one of several guests who attended the school for a unique flag raising ceremony. The Canadian and
Saskatchewan flags were raised in front of the school along with the Treaty 4 and Metis Nation flags. The four flags flying in the wind are meant to symbolize unity, inclusion, and support for Indigenous students. Gott discussed the history and significance of Treaty 4 with the students. “[This treaty system] affects us in all kinds of ways,” he said. Gale Pelletier, representing the Metis Nation, also spoke at the event. He talked about Metis history and their contribution to Canada. “We’ve got to live together and work together,” he said.
Guests and students raised the Canadian, Saskatchewan, Metis, and Treaty 4 flags high above Sacred Heart High School on Jun. 11.

Decoration Day By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The General Alexander Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion in Yorkton held its annual Decoration Day Service Wednesday, Jun. 6, at the Yorkton Cemetery. The event included a march from the old Fairview School property through the cemetery to the graves of Yorkton and area veterans of the two world wars and Korean War. The service included the scattering of ashes which was explained by Rev. Richard Gibson.
The Scattering of the Ashes
This ceremony originated in
Europe in 1936 at the unveiling of the Vimy Ridge Memorial. The Canadian Legion, which struggles at times for a place in the community, planned for a pilgrimage of Veterans to attend the unveiling of the Memorial, which would be dedicated to the more than 50,000 Canadians who had lost their lives in World War I. Four ocean liners carried over 6,000 veterans, their wives, children, and parents of the fallen. General Alexander Ross, Dominion President of the Canadian Legion at the time, was in charge of this undertaking. The British Legion made a suggestion to him, and asked

comrades were inscribed. Following the ceremony, the casket was given to General Alexander Ross as a souvenir of the pilgrimage. Upon receiving it, he did not know what to do with it, where to keep it, or what it could be used for at his Legion Branch, as the scattering of ashes had not yet caught on in Canada. Therefore it remained unused and forgotten about for many years. It was not until after World War II that Comrade Lawrence Ball, at a meeting at the local Yorkton Branch, suggested to General Alexander Ross that instead of throwing Remembrance Day wreaths into the garbage, they should
be burnt and the ashes scattered in the Soldiers Plot at the Yorkton Cemetery. General Ross was delighted with this suggestion, especially since the little casket could be used in ceremonies for many years to come. He presented the Yorkton Legion with the casket in a special service that was held on the Sunday following Remembrance Day in which it was used in the ceremony to scatter the ashes. It was used for several years, but as the years went by, interest waned, until the service became part of Decoration Day. The casket used in this ceremony is the original casket.

for his participation in the unveiling ceremony. It had been their custom over the years, in connection with poppy sales, to sell small wooden crosses in memory of those fallen comrades from World War I. Those crosses would then be placed in the sacred ground surrounding Westminster Abbey, removed after Armistice Day, and destroyed by burning. The ashes from the burnt crosses were placed in a small casket. This very same casket was used as part of the Dedication Service in the unveiling of the Vimy Ridge Memorial in 1936. The ashes were scattered over the east face of the memorial where the names of the fallen

In a commodity-trading province like Saskatchewan, no one should have to be reminded of the importance of trade — especially, trade with the U.S., with whom we do the most business. Everything we do in this province — from selling our grains and oilseeds to our potash and oil — pretty much relies on business beyond our country’s borders. This is particular critical to rural Saskatchewan where the drivers of the economy are those very commodities. A trade war — especially one with the U.S. — threatens our very livelihood in a more serious way than a carbon tax or any other policy government imposes on it. To have unreasonable tariffs imposed on us and to not be able to sell what we produce into foreign markets for a competitive price is an economic crisis. We all know this from U.S. tariffs imposed over the decades on wheat, potash and beef during the BSE crisis of a decade ago. So for a Saskatchewan politician to anything other than whatever they possibly can to ward off the most recent trade started by U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminum is a disservice. To their credit, most Saskatchewan politicians — past and present — are doing as much as they can. Take current Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe who traveled to Washington last week to meet several high-ranking U.S. politicians, including Trump’s Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross. Some will likely argue that a Canadian premier from a small province isn’t connected enough in Washington to accomplish much of anything. But Moe’s message of how this could be a “win-win” and “doesn’t have to be a lose-lose” for both Canada and the U.S. resonates with American politicians than some realize. After all, the American politicians may have already gotten a glimpse of the lose-lose scenario in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s list of retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports — sleeping bags, maple syrup, yogurt, tissues, napkins, toilet paper, pens, felt-tip markers, chocolate, beer kegs, bourbon and orange juice. It’s a broad list that, on the surface, doesn’t seem to make much sense. But with the help of bipartisan consultants — some of them, Conservative politicians — the list has been carefully crafted to take aim at states in where Republicans face tough mid-term elections. The Saskatchewan premier also made the case of how integrated the U.S. and Canadian economy really are, using the example of steel produced at the Evraz mill in Regina. Recycled U.S. cars are shipped to Canada and that steel is shipped to Portland, Oregon where it’s made into steel plates. Those steel plates are then shipped back to Canada where at they are rolled into pipe used in the Texas oil fields. Similarly, former premier Brad Wall has been active on his social media feeds with clips of late Republican President Ronald Reagan speaking on the need for trade and how free trade is a conservative value. Interestingly, Wall’s message came after federal Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer lambasted Trudeau for about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for “failing” Canada’s aluminum and steel producers. Scheer is well within his right to criticize Trudeau on any subject. Certainly, Scheer’s handling of the carbon tax and Trans Mountain pipeline are legitimate grounds for opposition criticism. But it’s a dangerous game for Canadians not to present a united front in the face of these U.S. trade sanctions that are escalating into this allout trade war. Faced with criticism from Conservative partisans that he was siding with Trudeau, Wall simply responded that he “respectful disagree.” Wall is right and those who would choose to not demonstrate unity in the trade fight with the U.S. — including Scheer — need to seriously reexamine their priorities. An international trade war is no place for local, partisan politics.

◆Editorial◆
Remembering history a way to avoid old pitfalls Decoration Day has come and gone in Yorkton and most people in the community were largely unaware it happened. Therein lies a sadness in as much as the people and the efforts the day recognize continue to deserve our thanks. Decoration Day began in June 1890. “For 30 years before, Canadians had a different memorial called Decoration Day in which we commemorated our war dead with the laying of real flowers, not in the hopeless gloom of November but in the warm light and optimism of late spring or in summer, often on the weekend closest to June 2, the anniversary of Canada’s forgotten first modern battle, the Battle of Ridgeway in 1866,” describes www.decorationday.ca “On Decoration Day, Canadians gathered at war monuments, tended to soldiers’ graves after the ravages of winter and “decorated” them with flowers, wreaths and garlands, prayed that their sacrifices were not in vain and that we had come to be worthy of them. Veterans were showered in flowers as they passed, escorted by phalanxes of children. It was a popular communion of young and old with the souls of our fallen soldiers in a celebration of hope, life and rebirth. We remembered and we remembered well.” Nowadays, wreaths from Remembrance Day in November are burned and the ashes are spread on the graves of veterans on Decoration Day. Some will question why we should spend time in June thinking of the contributions of our veterans when Remembrance Day in November is held in high-esteem in the public consciousness.
That short answer is because the contributions of our veterans are worth our thoughts more than once a year. But it goes deeper. We need to think about our history or we might well make the mistakes which took us to war in the past. Racial and religious tension runs rampant is our world today. Those two areas of friction have often triggered conflicts in our history, but we have not yet learned how to grow past the tensions. Our collective world history also speaks to how key leaders have led the world into war, or to the brink of conflict. Whether it is Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini in World War Two, or U.S. president Ronald Reagan and his Soviet counterparts embroiled in a Cold War for years, leaders can drag us into dire circumstances. Now we have U.S. president Donald Trump at loggerheads with American allies in the G7 over trade tariffs. While allies at times have issues, there is concern the current issues could cause long term friction. The situation is made more disquieting as Trump also seems rather cozy with Russian president Vladimir Putin. That is not to suggest war is close, although threats of nuclear attack between the U.S. and North Korea were very real only a few months ago. But it is time we remember what so many sacrificed in wars in the past. Hopefully those memories will be what help us do what we can to make sure our leaders do not take us to a place where bombs and bullets replace negotiations.

Letter to the Editor Remember PLAYSAFE Dear Editor, A few years ago, I tried driving a zero-turn lawn mower for the first time. I was thrown off and the machine ran me over. It was a life-or-death situation and resulted in the loss of my left leg below the knee. As a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, I’m spreading the safety message and sharing my story in a new video, PLAYSAFE: Don’t Let It Happen to You. With the help of seven other young amputees, I warn kids to spot the danger before they play and to be aware of “mean machines” like lawn
mowers, trains, boats, cars and farm equipment. I teach them that a few seconds of fun in the wrong place can change your life forever. You always think, “Oh that won’t happen to me!”, but you never know. You really have to be careful. As the weather warms up and kids spend more time outside, I encourage parents, teachers and community group leaders to help me pass on the PLAYSAFE message. Please take some time to watch or download the video free-of-charge online at waramps.ca/ playsafe. Julie Kozun, 18 Saskatchewan
SaskTel to offer subsidized internet SaskTel announced recently that it will offer subsidized High Speed Internet to thousands of low-income families all across Saskatchewan through the Federal G o v e r n m e n t ’s Connecting Families initiative. “The Government of Saskatchewan fully supports SaskTel’s participation in the Connecting Families initiative,” said Don Morgan, Minister Responsible for SaskTel. “Through this program, more Saskatchewan families will have access to valuable resources and tools required to thrive in our digital world.” The Connecting Families initiative is expected to launch across the country sometime this fall. Once the program launches, SaskTel will offer lowincome families High Speed Internet with download speeds of up to 10 Mbps (where available) and unlimited data for $10/month. “We’re proud to bring this program to Saskatchewan to help bridge the digital divide for thousands of less fortunate families in our province,” said Doug Burnett, SaskTel Acting President and
CEO. “With our expansive High Speed Internet network, low-income families from all over the province will be able to access this program and take advantage of the opportunities that the internet has to offer.” In addition to a subsidized internet connection, the Connecting Families initiative will also offer low-income families a refurbished computer to ensure they are fully equipped to get online. These computers will be distributed through Computers for Schools, a national program that the SaskTel Pioneers have administered in Saskatchewan for the last 25 years. “Since 1993 the SaskTel Pioneers have volunteered thousands of hours to clean, refurbish, and distribute computers to schools all over the province,” said Darrell Liebrecht, SaskTel Pioneers Manager. “With the Computers for Schools program set to expand as part of the Connecting Families initiative, the SaskTel Pioneers are excited for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of thousands of people throughout Saskatchewan.”

History Corner Station buildings completed - many structures in the course of erection Yorkton, Assa. — The station buildings, including tanks, etc. are now almost completed, most of the carpenters having gone east. Among the buildings now in the course of erection at the new town site may be mentioned: Two stores; Messrs. Livingstone and Thorston; a stone school house, size 20 x 30 feet and a livery stable. Several others have stated their intention of building. There is an opening here for a good hotel. Dr. Watson of this place, who has been attending the Indians at Fort Pelly, reports a large number of scarlet fever there, but all doing well. Delegates from Dakota, who were here some weeks back, say that a number of families from that part will settle near here next spring. Several wells have been dug on the new town site, and an ample supply of good water obtained at an average depth of eighteen feet. Mr. Wesley Jackson of Toronto, late of Wallace, is expected here shortly. He is bringing in a carload of horses. Owing to the exceptionally heavy yield of grain this year, the threshers are making slow progress. Revival services are being conducted at Orkney by the Revs Lawford and McKay. The Yorkton flour mill is running full time. The Yorkton school closes on the 18th inst. (Assa. – short for District of Assiniboia, North West Territories. The flour mill referred to here is the one situated at the first Yorkton site, 4 kilometers north of this present site.

If you build it, will they come?
A wall of humanity surrounded us. Miniature footballs flew over our heads. The smell of hot dogs and beer clung to the air. I was in the midst of Friday football fever. I’ve heard about Mosaic Stadium for months. I’ve read descriptions that paint it as a sports Mecca. The home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders feels like the focal point of Regina. I’m not a huge football fan, but when an opportunity arose to visit Mosaic with my friends, I took it. In my group of three, I, the East Coaster with a
limited knowledge of the Regina roadways, was assigned the role of driver. I weaved through cars and buses on the way to the Mosaic Stadium. The whole city buzzed with football frenzy. I snagged a parking spot near the stadium. My friend, sporting a Calgary Stampeders jersey (the rival team at the game that day), received more than his fair share of dirty looks as we got in line at the gate. We scanned our tickets and entered the stadium. Mosaic makes you feel like an ant. People are
SEAN MOTT
Settling in... stacked up in chairs that seem to touch the clouds. The constant roar of the crowd echoes in your ribcage. Walking into the Mosaic Stadium is the closest experience to witnessing Colosseum battles in ancient Rome. We walked halfway
around the stadium to reach our seats. We grabbed refreshments and pretzel-wrapped sausages. We settled into our seats for three hours of the football fracas. During the game, my friend asked me if I thought Halifax could
support its own football team and stadium. Every few years there’s a rumour that Nova Scotia will join the CFL. I looked at the 30,000 people in a stadium bigger than most Saskatchewan towns and I responded: “Absolutely not.” I love my hometown. We’ve accomplished more than most Maritime provinces (looking at you, PEI). But when it comes to sports, everything outside of hockey is a nonstarter. Our basketball team, the Rainmen, went bankrupt. Other sports are relegated to high
school and college teams. The general public seems to lack a taste for sports that don’t involve ice. Saskatchewan is built for football. The Mosaic Stadium is the exclamation mark on this province’s obsession with the pigskin classic. The market answered the demand. Halifax, prove me wrong. Build a giant stadium near Peggy’s Cove. Spend billions getting a team off the ground. After all, who wouldn’t love to eat a pretzelwrapped sausage next to the ocean?

Council Meeting Monday, June 25, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. SANITARY LANDFILL
Public Notice Proposed Alterations to Zoning Bylaw Amendment to Allow Shipping Containers Details: Yorkton City Council previously approved public notice for Bylaw No. 8/2018, which proposes to amend Zoning Bylaw No. 14/2003 by allowing for use of Shipping Containers (Sea Cans) as buildings in non-residential zoning districts, and also for temporary storage purposes in residential zoning districts. Council will now consider alterations to the proposed bylaw in order to: 1. Clarify the definition so that semi-trailers and other mobile structures are not confused as shipping containers; 2. Limit the number of shipping containers on a C-1 City Centre Commercial or C-2 Arterial Commercial site to a maximum of one; 3. Exempt those sites with only one container from triggering current storm water management regulations; and 4.

q Annual Walk ...
For all touched by Alzheimer’s By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The 2018 Walk For Alzheimer’s was held at Century Field in Yorkton Thursday. The annual event, presented by Investors Group, saw a number of people take to the track to raise some $4,500 earmarked for the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan. Edna Parrott began the walk with a deeply personal message about her personal reasons for taking part in the walk. “My husband and I suffered with this terrible disease for over 12 years,” she told those gathered. “My husband suffered the terrifying effects of this disease as he knew about the diagnosis. He became worried and concerned. As the disease progressed he became paranoid and thought everyone was against him. He would get lost as he wandered away from home and could not find his way back. He didn’t recognize who I was and begged my son to give him my phone number, so he could talk to me, even though I was sitting right beside him. He continued to decline until he no longer could care for himself or even to communicate. “I suffered the effects of this disease as I watched the love of my life, my best friend, my soul mate not only suffer with changes he was experiencing, but he was slowly and surely leaving me as the disease pro-
gressed. I felt the loss on a daily basis. He was always looking for me and asking where I was. He could no longer give me advice or fix things around the house. He passed away about four and a half years ago.” Parrott said at the time her husband was diagnosed the process of discovering what was wrong was not easy. “Along our journey we experienced many difficulties,” she said. “The first difficulty was finding a diagnosis. Our local doctor who saw my husband for 10 minutes could not recognize the symptoms I saw. He finally sent my husband to see a psychiatrist for a diagnosis. The psychiatrist gave my husband hints and answers during his test and informed us there was nothing wrong with him. After a lot of persistence, we finally were seen by the Rural and Remote memory clinic where he was diagnosed with Alzheimer disease. “Because I was working in the health field I received a lot of support from my colleagues. There were times, however, when the support I needed was not there when I needed it. Most caregivers back in those days did not receive the support they needed. “Today with the programs and resources available from the Alzheimer Society many don’t have to face these difficulties.” Parrott said the Alzheimer’s Society
Walkers head out on lap one of the 2018 Walk for Alzheimer’s of Saskatchewan has become invaluable in helping those dealing with the disease as it provides research and support for those suffering with Alzheimer and related dementia. “The Alzheimer Society funds important research looking into the cause and a cure for Alzheimer and related dementia. This research is important. We need to find out what causes the changes in the brain and when we find the cause we will be able to find a cure. The funds we raise supports research which not only benefits people in Saskatchewan, it benefits everyone with dementia regardless of where they live, to increase knowledge and find solutions to causes, treatments and cures. Research is important because it will not only help those here in Yorkton but also in Saskatchewan, in Canada

and eventually those throughout the world,” she said. And the help in Saskatchewan is clearly needed. “In this area of the province we have one of the highest percentages of seniors in our population. While Alzheimer and dementia diseases are not necessarily diseases of the elderly, the prevalence does increase with age. Therefore, we have a need to be diligent and be prepared to help all those affected by Alzheimer and other dementias,” noted Parrott. The Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan is a provincial organization that supports people with dementia all across Saskatchewan. Last year the number of clients they supported increased over 20 per cent and included people from over 300 communities across the province. Many
of their programs are delivered on telehealth making them accessible to people across the province to attend. And all of their information is webbased so it is accessible anywhere. The majority of their clients choose to be supported over the phone or to receive information in an email, again making this information available in an equitable way whether there is an Alzheimer Society Resource Centre in the area or not. There are six resource centres across Saskatchewan providing help and support to those who are usually referred when they are first diagnosed with dementia, detailed Parrott. “This past year, the Alzheimer Society provided service to 66 different people in 19 different communities in the former Sunrise Health Region. This is a 60 per cent increase in clients
served over the previous fiscal year (41 – 66). This is the highest number of people served in a former health region that does not have an Alzheimer Society Resource Centre (the Provincial increase was 20 per cent),” she said. “In the last two years (April 2016 to 2018), over the course of five separate community visits, they have conducted 13 Warning Signs presentations about the ABC’s of Dementia in Yorkton and Melville, reaching just over 275 people. “In January 2018, they did significant ABC’s of Dementia and Dementia Helpline radio advertising on Yorkton’s GX94 and Fox FM, the first market outside of Regina and Saskatoon to have such advertising.” Along with all this the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan had a Dementia Helpline that is toll free. Support staff are available to provide information, support and connection to Alzheimer Society programs and services. The hours are Monday to Friday 8:30 to 4:30 at 1-877-949-4141. “The Alzheimer Society is a concerned and caring society whose sole purpose is to care for the client with dementia, their caregivers and to help them through this difficult journey. They want to not only ease the challenge of this terrible disease; they want to see a cure. All these services, programs, resources and research need funds,” said Parrott.

Transplant recipient eager to walk By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The 2018 edition of the Kidney Walk was held Sunday in Yorkton. “It is an opportunity to celebrate, honour, advocate and meet others right here in Yorkton. I encourage everyone to introduce yourself to the person who is standing next to you or the person beside you along your walk,” said Suzanna D’April, Community Development Coordinator at the Kidney Foundation. D’April, herself a transplant recipient, told those gathered for the walk at Sacred Heart High School the event was important “Because it helps us to raise awareness and funds for lifesaving kidney research, organ donation and programs for people with kidney disease.” It is a case where kidney disease is serious, said D’April. “Each day 15 people are told their kidneys have failed. It is life altering: impacting your health, emotional and financial well-being. Its impact on people and families is substantial. Often, it doesn’t get the level of attention it deserves. In 2016, 260 Canadians died while waiting for a transplant,” she said.
“This is not acceptable. Together we are, raising awareness and funds for life-saving kidney research, organ donation, and support programs for people with kidney disease.” That is where the Kidney Foundation plays a role. The Foundation “advocates for improving donation and hospital
systems, and removing barriers to transplant. An important part of our role is advocacy with our government partners to optimize organ donation. The Saskatchewan Executive Director, Joyce Van Deurzen, recently met with officials in the provincial health ministry. We were thrilled to learn that Saskatchewan government has invested
additional funding for donors, physicians and nurses. They will be champions within the health system for organ donation. An awesome investment and a big step towards more transplants,” said D’April. And that is why the annual walk is important, said D’April. “The money we raise here today will support transplant recipients and those still awaiting their
gift of life,” she said. D’April said it is also important to remember the importance of being an organ donor, said D’April. “When we look around this morning, we see people living with kidney disease, transplant recipients, those awaiting a transplant, people who are very special to us who have donated the gift of life, and also donor families. Many would
not be here without the others. These selfless acts have saved the lives of so many,” he said. D’April said the money raised will be well-used. “The funds we raise will benefit kidney patients and their families in Saskatchewan through our investment in leading each research, patient support programs and advocacy for organ donation,” she said.
Goulden takes on larger role with FCM By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer
The Kidney Walk was held Sunday.
Yorkton City Councillor has been elected chair of the Provinces and Territories Caucus of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. The caucus represents the provinces Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, along with the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon. Goulden said while the caucus encompasses a huge land mass, when you get down to talking about issues such as infrastructure needs, the downloading of costs from the higher levels of government, and economic growth there are many similarities. “There’s no difference from what we have here in Yorkton,” she said. Municipalities across the caucus region are also looking to create a safe environment for residents, and issues which resonates no matter where you are in
Canada, said Goulden. The new position also gets Goulden to the inner table of the FCM. “It puts me on the executive committee of FCM,” she said. The new role will mean additional video conferences and webinars, but not additional travel. Goulden said members with FCM have other jobs, and time constraints which make electronic contact the
preferred method for meetings. “We all have full time jobs,” she said. In terms of the caucus and FCM in general, Goulden said the work is beginning to focus on the next federal election. “We need to start preparing for the next federal election in two years’ time,” she said. “We need to get our agenda on the party platforms.”

Native grasslands important One can imagine the earliest settlers, those who dreamt of a piece of land they could call their own on which to farm and raise a family, arriving on the Canadian Prairies and thinking there was so much grassland it would never all be farmed. But those first brave settlers were quickly followed by more, and more, and more, each sharing in the dream of land ownership, and the freedom to farm and raise families. Today many of us can count ourselves among the descendants of those settlers who turned acre after acre of native grassland into grain growing farmland, primarily what in the early days giving the region
a worldwide reputation for producing the crop. And along the way the grasslands simply fell away to the plow. That is why today “temperate grasslands, which include our Canadian Prairies, are considered one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world,” related Nadia Mori, Range Management Extension Specialist in a recent article in Agriview. “In Saskatchewan, it is estimated that approximately 20 per cent of native prairie remains intact. Our remaining native prairie is a valuable resource that touches many lives and interest groups. Ranchers rely on the sustainable use of prairie for their liveli-
Agriculture THIS WEEK
Calvin Daniels hoods. For others, native prairie may be cultural, spiritual or recreational importance. Many landowners, government and non-government agencies play a role in the stewardship and protection of native prairie.” To promote such stewardship and protection and to raise the recognition of the importance of native rangelands to sustainable
growth in our province, Saskatchewan’s ministries of agriculture and environment declared the third week of June as Native Prairie Appreciation Week (NPAW). “The purpose of the week is to raise awareness and appreciation of native prairie ecosystems and their importance to
Saskatchewan’s people as well as to the environmental and agricultural sectors,” noted Mori. There will certainly be those among readers here who question the value of protecting native grasslands. They are not exactly as high profile in the world on conservation media as say the rainforests of South America, but in many ways their potential value is a shared one. New science emerges almost every day which begins the process of looking at plants in new ways in terms of what they may offer in terms of medicinal components and genes to fortify crucial food crops against things like
drought and disease. Through science we are also beginning to better understand that few things in our natural world exist in isolation of each other. To lose a wildflower species whose home is temperate grasslands might well end an insect species reliant on the flower for food, and with the insect extinct a bird species might be in peril as they sought out the bug as food. Nature is an interconnect tapestry and when mankind makes the mistake of pulling on too many threads, what the world may look like regionally and beyond is drawn into question. Calvin Daniels is Editor at Yorkton This Week.
Norquay farm couple up for award By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Each year at Canada’s Farm Progress Show held in Regina in June a farm couple are presented the ‘Outstanding Young Farmers Award’ which recognizes young farmers who demonstrate excellence in their profession. The program seeks to recognize young farmers who are less than 49 years of age, make the majority of farm management decisions, and derive a minimum of two-thirds gross revenue from farming. Each year an honouree is selected to represent each of the seven regions across Canada. These seven honourees are then recognized for their achievements at the National Outstanding Young Farmers event. This year among the three finalists for the award are Jordan and Jennifer Lindgren who farm in the Norquay district. Jordan said being a farmer was always what he planned. “It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do,” he told Yorkton This Week during an interview recently at the couple’s kitchen table. Jennifer was not quite as focused on being a farmer, but agriculture was certainly her area of keenest interest. “I went to the school of agriculture,” she said, adding she was thinking of a job in the sector if
Jordan and Jennifer Lindgren who farm in the Norquay district are among three finalists for this year’s ‘Outstanding Young Farmers Award’ in Saskatchewan. not specifically running a farm. But then the pair met, married, and began to farm. The couple started out farming with Jordan’s father and uncle, buying some land of their own, and working in what evolved into a three-way partnership. Over time Jordan had assumed the management role, and then
about eight years ago the couple bought out Jordan’s father and uncle. “We had to buy everything,” said Jordan, noting his father and uncle deserved to be paid for what they had built up through their partnership of near four decades. “It’s what they had worked their whole entire lives for. They deserved getting the most
they could out of all their hard work.” There was never any hesitation to buy out the farm, but it took planning. There were kitchen table discussions regarding succession, and Jordan and Jennifer were helped out by having some of their own land and equipment to soften the impact of taking over. “We were preparing
for it … We had built up to where we were able to do it,” said Jennifer. The move increased the couple’s debt load, but Jordan said debt is part of farming these days. If someone is going to farm “debt is going to be part of it,” he said. “If there’s no risk, there’s no reward,” added Jennifer. Without a base, Jordan said starting to
farm today would be very difficult. “Trying to start up (from scratch) is almost impossible with the costs that are involved,” he said. Jennifer worked off the farm in the early years of their marriage, but as the farm grew, and their family arrived – they have four children ages eight to 12 – she evolved to stay home and be an active member of the team. Jordan said having her on the farm where she can bring meals to the field is a huge asset. He said having a hot, home-cooked meal is something his employees look forward to during the busy seeding and harvesting seasons, the time of sharing a meal being a key element of building camaraderie. Keeping workers happy is important on an operation where they employ two full-time and four seasonal people get all the work done. Jordan said he tries to create a working atmosphere where he’d want to work himself, if he were not farming. The workers are looked at almost as extended family. “The kids think of them as uncles,” said Jennifer. Jordan said he needs good workers because his focus is on dealing with breakdowns, planning crop sales, doing the management that

increasingly has his attention on a computer screen rather than the steering wheel of a tractor. “As it is 25 per cent of my time is in the office,” he said, adding he probably should be on the computer even more than he is. “You’re always trying to run scenarios in your mind,” he said. Jordan said he still enjoys time on the tractor the most, but that is something generally left to others. “It’s working the land and being hands-on… But my phone never stops,’ he said. The couple also have their children involved, including out in the field at meal time. “Having the kids out there they get a feel for farming,” said Jordan, adding meals in the field are certainly one of his best memories from his own childhood. Jennifer said while the farm is now large,
and most certainly a business, they have made it a priority to focus on family too. “We decided a long time ago it would be a priority to us, to have the kids involved,” she said. It’s not always easy to keep the family farm philosophy and the business realities separate, but the couple tries. “It does get blurred,” said Jennifer. But, they already make sure the children are aware that it is a family farm at heart. “Everybody in the family knows we are in this together,” said Jordan. And it takes all hands on-deck to operate a farm where 11,500 acres is seeded annually. Jordan’s father “is still out there all the time,” said Jennifer with a smile, adding his uncle still plays a role too. At times the elder pair are a sounding board for Jordan, although they have not seen eye-to-eye on everything through
“Having the kids out there they get a feel for farming.” — Jordan Lindgren “We decided a long time ago it would be a priority to us, to have the kids involved.” — Jennifer Lindgren the years. “There’s still some stuff they’re set in their mindset,” he said, adding when he was first taking over a greater portion of the decision making there were things “they felt that they know what would work best.” He said that was just the process of viewpoints based in different eras coming together. Today, Jordan said he still appreciates being able to bounce things off the pair. “To have that experience available when I’m
thinking about doing things, those guys have seen more things in their lives than I have,” he said. As for cropping choices Jordan has kept that part of the operation rather straight forward, growing wheat and canola in rotation. For the wheat they shoot for an average of 70 bushels an acre, with a crop that dips below 65 seen as disappointing. Over the years Jordan said they have tried other crops, most recently soybeans, but so far wheat
and canola on their varied land conditions do best under the input regime they use. “We’re definitely testing the limits,” he said, adding he is a believer in fertilizing to the maximums to realize the generic potential of the varieties they grow. The Lindgrens also see a role in helping share information with other farmers. They do that by partnering with local agriculture distributors to host the ‘Field of Dreams’ tour that is held annually on their farm, which is an opportunity to share trial results from previous years and showcase the current trials that are focused on new genetics, applications and variable fertilizer rates. And this year they also plan to be a part of educating the next generation as they incorporate a ‘Food Farm’ into their operation which is an interactive tour geared at educating Grade 3 and 4 students on agriculture.
So what of the Outstanding Young Farmer nomination? Jordan said the nomination came as a surprise when they were asked if they would allow their names to be submitted. “We just said we’d be honoured,” he replied, admitting they were left to ponder if they were worthy of the nomination. But then the process of reviewing their farm’s history to fill out additional forms began, and they came to recognize they have accomplished a lot since taking over the farm from his father and uncle who had farmed together for 40-years. Reflection is not always easy amid the “bustle” of farming day-to-day, said Jordan. Jennifer added, as they delved into the records, while taking time to do, it was a good process in terms of reflecting on their farm to-date and setting a few new goals moving forward.

Subsidized high speed internet coming to Sask. SaskTel announced recently that it will offer subsidized High Speed Internet to thousands of low-income families all across Saskatchewan through the Federal Government’s Connecting Families initiative. “The Government of Saskatchewan fully supports SaskTel’s participation in the Connecting Families initiative,” said Don Morgan, Minister Responsible for SaskTel. “Through this program, more Saskatchewan families will have access to valuable resources and tools required to thrive in our digital world.” The Connecting Families initiative is expected to launch across the country sometime this fall. Once the program launches, SaskTel will offer lowincome families High Speed Internet with download speeds of up to 10 Mbps (where available) and unlimited data for $10/month. “We’re proud to bring this program to Saskatchewan to help bridge the digital divide for thousands of less
fortunate families in our province,” said Doug Burnett, SaskTel Acting President and CEO. “With our expansive High Speed Internet network, low-income families from all over the province will be able to access this program and take advantage of the opportunities that the internet has to offer.” In addition to a subsidized internet connection, the Connecting Families initiative will also offer low-income families a refurbished computer to ensure they are fully equipped to get online. These computers will be distributed through Computers for Schools, a national program that
the SaskTel Pioneers have administered in Saskatchewan for the last 25 years. “Since 1993 the SaskTel Pioneers have volunteered thousands of hours to clean, refurbish, and distribute computers to schools all over the province,” said Darrell Liebrecht, SaskTel Pioneers Manager. “With the Computers for Schools program set to expand as part of the Connecting Families initiative, the SaskTel Pioneers are excited for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of thousands of people throughout Saskatchewan.”

Artefacts recovered from the fire which destroyed the Pelly museum in 2015.
From the ashes of history By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Some of the deepest roots of our region’s and province’s history can be traced back to a pair of forts in the region around what is now the community of Pelly. “Fort Pelly established in 1821, was for half a century, the main trading post for the Assiniboine area and the headquarters of the Swan River District of the Hudson’s Bay Company. It was the centre at which trade goods such as traps, muskrat spears, trade points, and parts for boats were produced. It was also a manufacturing centre for boats, barge-like bateaux, dog sleds and carts,” details a pamphlet from the Fort Pelly – Livingstone Museum. “Fort Livingstone, erected in 1874, was the original headquarters and the first post built for the North West Mounted Police. It provided facilities for 185 men and their mounts and included a residence for the stipendiary magistrate. These headquarters were moved to Fort Macleod in 1876, but Livingstone continued as a post until 1878.” Both forts are National Historic Sites. Considering the history of the two forts, it is little wonder volunteers in the region started the museum located in the community of Pelly years ago as a place to collect and display the region’s long history. “The Pelly area has a significant chapter in the history of colonial and early Canada. Fort Pelly and Fort Livingstone are two of our National Historic sites, places of “profound importance to Canadian history” according to Parks Canada. They are located at the closest intersection of two prairie river valleys,” wrote Al Reine, who does communications for the museum in an issue of Muse, a publication of the Canadian Museums Association. “Fort Livingstone, on the banks of the Swan, was the first capital of the Northwest Territories and the controversial first post built specifically for the North West Mounted Police (NWMP). Fort Pelly, located on the Assiniboine, was a vibrant Hudson’s Bay Company outpost that witnessed 50 years of colonial history and interrelationships with area First Nations. Pelly
village, located near the Manitoba border in eastcentral Saskatchewan, lies almost mid-way between the two first, a ten-minute drive from each.” The museum had become something of a beacon in a community which had seen its school close, elevator, RCMP office and other markers of a vibrant community. And then the unthinkable happened. In 2015 a fire destroyed the museum and all but a few saved artifacts, a now charred and half melted bell, a uniform of the RCMP, and a few others. The community was devastated, said local museum committee chair Yvonne Hotzak. Hotzak said when word spread of the fire and the loss was recognized, she was among many who shed a tear. But the community soon rallied around the idea of rebuilding. “Just after the fire we had a debriefing with the community,” she said, adding what came out of that meeting was that the community “was adamant about rebuilding.” Hotzak said the task of starting over was daunting, but one she agreed with.
“A lot of this story would be totally lost if we didn’t do this,” she said. The initial thought was to raise the funds to build a new home, but then a bit of good luck came the way of the Pelly group. “A year after the fire we caught a huge break. A real estate listing showed the village’s
former RCMP barracks were up for sale,” wrote Reine in the article. “The building had been privately owned after the RCMP left town years ago, but it had become available at a reasonable price. The board got a mortgage, the building was purchased and the light grew brighter. We could now develop a better plan, host an open
house in our new building, and inform curious area residents about our progress. We even started thinking about an opening date. “The barracks and attached residence were not only structurally sound, but historically appropriate. They were a great fit with our desired to celebrate the achievements and activities of both the NWCP and their RCMP successors. With the assistance of Public Safety Canada, we were able to touch base with related RCMP organizations (e.g. RCMP Veterans Association, RCMP Heritage Centre) to seek advice and assistance for our goal to celebrate important achievements of both forces that provided security in colonial and early Canada. To that end, we’ve allocated a specific RCMP/ NWMP display area in the new museum.” Hotzak said the old barracks was just what they needed to fast track a rebuild. “Oh my God what a great opportunity this was,” she told Yorkton This Week on a recent tour. The museum currently features five exhibits the forts, First Nations history/culture, veterans, RCMP/NWMP, and local history.
As part of the Museum’s wish to reflect community diversity the First Nations display area will be dedicated in a separate ceremony on National Aboriginal Day, June 21. The museum reopened its doors May 19. Hotzak presided over the opening ceremonies, noting at the time, “we don’t have everything we need yet, but we wanted to open now to give the community a boost . . . “Our actions today are an important step in ensuring that Canadians know of our area people’s role in the settlement of the west.” At the opening ceremonies the museum received the Museums Association of Saskatchewan (MAS) Institutional Award of Merit for reopening. MAS Executive Director Wendy Fitch announced the award. Fitch praised the long history of community support for the museum. “All of you, volunteers and supporters, both past and present, deserve our thanks and admiration for all your hard work and dedication to preserving the heritage of the community,” she said in a museum release.

Homework for best trees and shrubs If you are thinking about adding some fruit trees or shrubs to your garden or yard, do some homework and visit the University of Saskatchewan site at w w w. f r u i t . u s a s k . c a / extension for some great information! The site lists information about plants such as haskap/blue honeysuckle; dwarf sour cherries; apples; grapes; and other crops like strawberries and raspberries. It is very helpful to read about the qualities of various trees and shrubs, and because they are grown here it is an added plus knowing that they can tolerate our varied weather conditions. Here’s a chance to think outside the box if you are landscaping a new yard or redesigning an existing yard. There is no reason that a feature tree can’t be a fruit tree. Imagine how delicious it would be to have a cherry tree in your front yard, or a beautiful arbor of grapes over your patio. It’s a gardening dream that can a reality thanks to the research efforts of the U of S! For anyone planning a trip to Saskatoon at the beginning of July, there are two days of informational sessions about haskap on July 5 and 6. Thursday, July 5 features classroom sessions about haskap: varieties, growing methods, and using the crop. The fee for this class is $50. Then on Friday, July 6, its haskap field day, visiting research fields and seeing field plantings of seedlings and variety trials. Cost is $35. And don’t forget, from July 7-13 there are all kinds of wonderful gardening sessions on a wide variety of topics at the university. See the entire list at https://gardening.usask.ca/publicworkshops.

Watch for God’s unexpected gifts
Yorkton This Week | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Wednesday, June 13, 2018
The Preacher and I spoke at one of our former churches a while back. The platform seemed lower and wider, but the church had changed little in two decades. It took a long time to get to my seat—too many friends lined the aisles. And I would have missed Lisa altogether if she hadn’t spoken. Her serene face, now etched and weathered, raised as I passed. “Do you remember me?” I’d know that Scandinavian accent anywhere. For two years, Lisa had been my “secret sister”. She’d drawn my name
one year, I’d drawn hers the next. I remember well her encouraging anonymous monthly notes. Her small “special day” gifts were chosen with obvious love and care. One especially. On the day I opened Lisa’s birthday gift to me, I wondered what woman could have given it. Staunch, no-nonsense farm women populated the women’s group. An artist at heart, I felt often like a bird that had strayed from its natural habit. The gift seemed a great contradiction: a tiny rectangular box that didn’t open, decorated

with a painting of a mother and a child, holding hands and walking down a long road. From its side protruded a crank with a red knob on the end. Puzzled, I turned the crank. Out came a tune— La Vie en Rose. I wound the music box
up often that year, just for the tickle it brought. Somehow it helped me forget my feelings of displacement. Someone in that church had chosen a gift of absolutely no practical value. Something crafted only to bring delight. The thought comforted me that I might, after all, survive in that rural community. At the end of the year,
I learned her name, and more about her. Lisa had also been transplanted there. For years she’d tried to fit in. No doubt she understood my unspoken feelings. “Of course I remember you,” I said now. “How could I forget? I still have the music box you gave me. It’s survived all our moves!” Lisa slowly raised a closed hand, then opened it. In her palm rested a small ivory-coloured circular brooch. It appeared to have Scandinavian origins. Scalloped edges and embossed hearts decorated its circumference, and in the middle sat a small bouquet of tiny, perfectly formed pink roses and blue forget-me-nots.

“Do you remember this?” she asked shyly. I stared, unbelieving. “You made it for me,” she said. I remembered. In the days when I worked more with art, and less with words, I’d carefully sculpted it from a clay made of bread, white glue, and acrylic paint. “You kept it!” Our eyes met over her hand. In that moment I think we both knew, in the quiet places of our hearts, that God had arranged those gifts himself. When you find yourself in situations where you feel displaced, alone and out of your comfort zone, know this: God hasn’t lost your address. He is with you. Watch for his unexpected gifts.

Film is back but it needs a new camera Today, you would be hard pressed to find a new film camera. They do exist, of course. Fujifilm makes the Instax line of instant cameras. Lomography continues to produce versions of cheap Russian cameras, which leads to the odd situation of a company charging $50 for the Holga Diana, a camera that a tire company in Yorkton was giving away for free in the 1960s, according to an ad in the Yorkton Enterprise. The Film Photography Project, which is the only place distributing film that works in the once ubiquitous Kodak Brownie, also seems to be offering their own line of cameras, but they appear to be cheap and plastic. On the other end of the spectrum, Nikon still makes a film camera that costs over $2,000, while you only need to
hand over your first-born child to buy your very own Leica. Yet, film is actually experiencing a bit of a resurgence. Not a huge one, not something that will lead to one hour photo booths again occupying every pharmacy in the country, but sales are up and people are interested. There are more people buying and making film, including people who just want to ensure film continues to exist – enthusiast site Japan Camera Hunter is now in the film game, for example. This isn’t really different from the whole vinyl resurgence in music. The convenience of digital is nice, but the inconvenience of analog has its own fans. I’m not immune, as the box of films and shelves of vintage cameras in my home will attest. Film is fun, even if even I

right there. We want the glorious inconvenience and mechanical joy of an analog camera. I’ll take the example of the camera I reach to more often than not when I want to shoot with film. It’s a Sears KSX Super. It’s a single lens reflex and it’s manual focus. Exposure can be automatic (with an aperture priority) but you can easily go fully manual with a twist of a dial when you’re ready. Winding the film is also very satisfying. In short, it’s analog, but user friendly. That is, I believe, what people are going to want from a new film camera. The simplicity of a manual feeling camera but one without a learning curve. You can pick up my Sears camera and immediately take a good picture. If you want to get creative and experimental, you can do that, too. It works for the

Thinking I do with words... know that digital is objectively better. So where are the cameras? On one hand, there’s not really a need for them. There are millions of old cameras from the past 100 years spread around the world. For me, part of the appeal is using all this old, theoretically obsolete technology that still works and often still works well. However, old things break. Old cameras develop flaws and parts are impossible to find. If film is picking up steam,
where are the people trying to capitalize on it? I think it’s only a matter of time. It should be something good, unlike a Holga Diana, but not so good that you need to give up your favorite kidney to own one, unlike a Leica. In fact, I know exactly which camera they need to make again. My solution is to go with what makes film, vinyl and all the other old technologies appealing to the kids: Embrace analog.

dabblers, it works for the experts, it’s as simple as you want and as complicated as you need. It’s durable, it’s easy to use, it uses the Pentax K-Mount lens which is common and well liked - new lenses could go to vintage camera enthusiasts as well as people with the new model. It’s also a rebadged Ricoh and unlike Sears, they still exist. The worst option would be to make an analog camera that feels digital. This is a niche market that wants to feel like they’re doing something a bit different. So make a camera that feels analog, and you’re going to make your money back.

Cards find first win of WMBL season By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer
It took nine games, but the Yorkton Cardinals have a win in the Western Major Baseball League this season. The Cardinals finally found a victory Monday night against rival Melville amid rain delays which extended the game to near 11 p.m. before the final out was recorded. “It’s huge,� said assistant coach Brady Hohl. “It’s good to get some momentum.� Yorkton scored a single in the first inning on a triple by Colin Kellington to left field, scoring lead-off hitter Thirus Jones who had got on base thanks to a Melville error. In the fourth Dillon Champagne led off for Yorkton with a solo home run. The Cardinals would put together four more hits, and mix in two walks that would account for five more runs to take a 7-0 lead. The Millionaires would score a pair in the fifth. Continued on Page B2

Win and a tie for the Yorkton Yankees By Devin Wilger Staff Writer It was a tie and a win for the Yorkton E&S Yankees in the past week. The team’s record is now 4-2-1. The first game on Jun.
5 was a tie against the Langenburg Legends. Mark Jacobs with the Yorkton Yankees said a close match between the two teams was what you would expect, since they’re two of the best teams in the league and they’re likely to be the

two teams facing each other in the final. The second game on Jun. 11 was a bit more lopsided, with the Yankees taking down the Back Forty Brewers 19-6. Jacobs said it was a great night for baseball. They got an early lead in the game and ran with it. While the Yankees won by a sizeable amount, Jacobs wants to note that the Brewers are a good young team with some talented athletes, though they need to work a bit on their pitching. The Yankees also threw their best pitcher at them early in the game, which didn’t help their chances. Overall the past week was a good one for the Yankees, as they played good defense and had good swings on the ball.
said Jacobs. The Yankees’ next action will be a rematch against the Brewers at Jubilee Field 2 on June 13. Their approach to this game will be simple, said Jacobs, give everyone as much action as they can.

Continued from Page
But Yorkton was not done. In the sixth, Ryne Niemi led off with a triple scoring on a single by Jayse Wilson. In the seventh, the Mills scored one. In the home half of the seventh, Niemi would be in the middle of it again, hitting a double to plate two more Cardinal runs to extend the lead to 10-3. Four walks by Melville pitching in the eighth would lead to an 11th Cardinal run. The Mills didn’t go quietly into the late night, as they plated two on an error to the Yorkton centrefielder to round out the 11-5 Cardinal win. “We played a solid allaround game,” Hohl said. “We’re fired up. “It’s important to keep a level head.” Chris Cook was the winning pitcher for Yorkton based on three innings of relief work, while Mills starter Zach Diaz was tagged with the loss. Yorkton now sits with a 1-8 record, last in the WMBL East, 7.5 games back of division-leading Weyburn. Melville sits at 3-5 in fifth spot in the east.
Road loss
The Cardinals were in Weyburn Sunday and after scoring one in the first, adding two in the
second and one in the third, they enjoyed a 4-0 lead. But it would not last. The Beavers cut the lead in half with two in the fourth. They scored again in the fifth. In the sixth, the Beavers added one again to tie the game 4-4. Yorkton responded with three in the seventh to regain the lead 7-4. The lead evaporated as Weyburn scored four in the home-half of the seventh to take an 8-7 lead, which was how the game ended. Dalton Ross earned the win for the Beavers, based on 1.1 inning of relief work, with Shandon Herrero picking up the save. Andrew Cisneros was tagged with the loss for Yorkton based on one inning of relief, pitching the seventh giving up four hits and four runs with two of those earned. Sox shock on Saturday The Regina Red Sox rolled into Yorkton Saturday for action at Jubilee Park, and the contest went to the visitors. The Sox scored runs in the second, third, fifth and sixth to lead 7-0 before Yorkton plated a lone reply in the eighth to make it 7-1. But the Red Sox would tack on three in the ninth to wind up with a 10-1
win. Evan Rogers earned the win on the mound for Regina. Rogers allowed on three hits in seven innings, did not allow a run or issue a walk, while striking out six. Dillon Champagne started and lasted five innings, giving up seven hits and four runs, three of those earned, in being tagged with the loss for Yorkton.
57s take two
The Swift Current 57s visited Jubilee Park for a pair of games last week. On Jun. 7, the 57s took the lead with a pair of runs in the third, and then added two in the fourth, before Yorkton responded with two of their own in the homehalf of the fourth. A two-run sixth knotted the score 4-4, before Swift Current plated the eventual winning run in the seventh for a 5-4 victory. Nick Hooper was the winning pitcher, with Mitch Guiberson picking up the save. Andrew Cisneros took the loss for Yorkton based on four innings of relief work. It was more of the same against the 57s on Jun. 8, with Swift Current scoring three in the first inning, all counting on a three-run home run from Bo McClintock. The teams traded

Zach Bravo earned the win from the hill for the 57s, scattering only four hits, and allowing one earned run in seven innings of work. Ryan Thrasher was the Cardinal starter lasting four innings and taking the loss.
Student day
Hundreds of school students from Yorkton, Sturgis, Saltcoats, Canora and Churchbridge took in
Western Major Baseball League action on Jun. 6 at Pioneer Park. They watched a game pitting Highway 10 rivals Melville and Yorkton in action, with the visiting Millionaires scoring one in the first, another in the second, and two more in the third to lead 4-0. The host Cardinals scored one in the home half of the third, only to have Melville get that run back in the fourth. In the sixth Melville added one to make it 6-1, before four by Yorkton in the bottom of the fourth made it close at 6-5. But the Mills reasserted a solid lead
with three in the seventh and one in the eight before the Cardinals got one in the ninth to round out a 10-6 win for Melville. Lyle Hibbits recorded the win on the mound for Melville, with Noah Freimuth earning the save. Jake Gill was tagged with the loss for the Cardinals. Marshall McPherson and Keaton Sullivan hit homers for Melville, while Thirus Jones hit a round tripper and recorded three runs batted in for Yorkton. Chris Cook also hit a solo shot for the home team.
Po-Yen (Brian) Chen was the Yorkton starting pitcher Monday. Thirus Jones goes for a hit for Yorkton.

Terriers ink local hopefuls By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It may be June but work is ongoing for Mat Hehr in his role of general manager with the Yorkton Terriers. The Terriers have inked four players to Junior A White Cards, which basically means a player who is 18, or older is committed to attending the team’s fall camp. “It’s more or less a commitment to start the season with us,” said Hehr, adding it does not tie a team’s hands as a card can be deleted or traded and a player moved. Carter Lake, Keenan Sperling, Kishaun
Gervais, and Jordan Repsch are the players who signing cards. Hehr said all four should factor into the Terriers moving forward, and he said other signings are likely just ahead. “There’ll probably be a couple of more to come. It all kind of depends how recruiting goes,” he said.
Bantam draft
The Terriers also added a number of players to their list via the recent Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League bantam draft. In the first round, Yorkton took Parker Jasper, a defenceman from Regina.
Terrier coach and GM Mat Hehr welcomes Carter Lake to the team. Submitted. In the second round, local player Rhys Maksimow, also a rearguard, was taken. Kael DePape, a local goaltender, was taken

Co-op Challenge Cup new event for disc golf A major new disc golf event is launching in the parkland region this summer. The Yorkton Co-op Challenge Cup is being launched in conjunction with the Parkland Association of Disc Golf Tournament Series. The Co-op Challenge Cup (CCC) is an event where players will accumulate points for three specified events over the summer. The first event will be the Grain Millers Trilogy Challenge at Yorkton Sunday, Aug. 26, followed by the Yorkton Co-op Fling, Sunday Sept. 2 at Whitesand Regional Park, with the trilogy of events winding up with the be Sas-Kam Cup in Kamsack, Sunday, Sept. 16. “This is going to be a great new event for disc golfers in the PADG region and beyond,” said Calvin Daniels PADG president. “This event is going to highlight three great courses, and create a lot of new interest in the sport.” Daniels said it is great to see events at the Whitesand and Kamsack courses. “It will be the inaugural tournaments at both courses,” he said. “Whitesand is a long course, and great to play as it is laid out on the regional park’s sand greens ball golf course. It will really let big arms rip some drives, but watch out for the wind. “And Kamsack is so new the baskets just
went in this month. They are Prodigy baskets, the first from the company in the PADG, and likely in Saskatchewan so that should entice a lot of players to take part.”
Jared Ruf, a Councillor with the Town of Kamsack said being part of the Co-op Challenge Cup is a great way to introduce the new course which was
created in large part by the efforts of the recently created Kamsack Recreation Board. “We’re really excited about having the course Continued on Page B5

CUP Continued from Page B3 in town, and thanks to the support of Sas-Kam Sports we were going to host a tournament, and having it part of this Challenge Cup just adds profile and hopefully brings out even more golfers,” he said. Don Thompson, chairman of Whitesand Regional Park Board was also excited by the new ‘mini tour. “This is a really exciting time for the Whitesand Disc Golf
Course,” he said. “It will be the first tournament held on our course and having the Co-op on board as a sponsor will assist us in promoting our course to disc golfers throughout the area.” As for the Yorkton Co-op taking part, it was simply a good fit. “It’s obvious from the number of new courses in the region disc golf is growing,” said Yorkton Co-op general manager Bruce Thurston. “We welcomed the

“Basically players will accumulate points based on how they finish at the three events,” said Trevor Lyons, tournament chair with the PADG. “The details of the point system are still being finalized, but the idea is, do well at the three events and you should be in contention for CCC prizes.” The CCC prizes will be handed out at the end of the third event in the series. Lyons said while
accumulating points toward the CCC, players will also compete for prizes at the individual events, and top finishers will advance to our year end event. On the men’s side it is the Farrell Agencies Championship Challenge in October where the winner walks away with a one of a kind jacket and their name on a huge trophy sponsored by the Yorkton Lions.

opportunity to support that growth, and when the Co-op Challenge Cup was suggested featuring courses in communities where we already have a presence, it was a natural. “We really hope the Cup will entice disc golfers to take in all three events to accumulate points and win some great prizes.” The details of how the CCC will work in terms of accumulating points are still be worked out.

JONES - Peggy (Margaret) Jones passed away Wednesday, June 6, 2018 surrounded by her loving family. She was born Sept 7, 1921 the youngest of four children born to loving parents Jim and Rose McInnes. Peggy grew up on the family farm near Rokeby, SK and took her education at the Pebble Lake School. She married Leonard Jones of Bangor on Feb 12, 1941 in Yorkton, SK and during the first few years of her marriage moved with him to various locations in Canada, while he received his army training. Peggy was a devoted wife, loving mother and a strong supporter of Leonard and her children in a variety of 4-H Clubs-Beef, Light Horse, Garden Club and Homecraft Club. She served on the Marwin School Board, the Morris Lodge Board and was a dedicated member of the Legion Ladies Auxiliary. Left to mourn her passing and celebrate her long and very blessed life are her six children, Marian Morris, Lillian (Grant) Mehling, Tom (Eleanor) Jones, Jim (Elsie) Jones, Joy Lynn Popowich and Chuck (Liz) Jones. She also leaves twelve grandchildren, twenty-two great-grandchildren, six great-great grandchildren, sister-inlaw Irene Blacoe and many nieces and nephews. Peggy was predeceased by her husband of 57 years, Leonard, on March 31, 1998, her parents, Jim and Rose McInnes, parents-in-law Evan and Emily Jones, brother Bill (Kay) McInnes, sisters Ruby Buckle and May Glass, her sister-in-law, Hilda (Clayton) White and brothers-in-law Bill Blacoe, Wesley Buckle, Leonard Reid and Bob Glass, sons-in-law Ron Popowich and Vern Morris.
SCHWARTZ - Helen Schwartz, beloved wife of Mervin Schwartz, mother of Debra Chesney and Shelley Oystreck, passed away May 22, 2018 at the age of 79. Born June 13, 1938, Helen was the youngest daughter of Steve and Katie (Babyck) Bilous of the Moyhela District in Saskatchewan. She received her education at the Elbow Lake School in the Hyas District. The family moved to Rhein, SK where her father operated a Black Smith and Welding Shop. Helen met Mervin Schwartz in Rhein in 1953 and they were married June 11, 1955 at Christ Lutheran Church. They made their home together in Rhein where they were involved in the operation of the Schwartz family business’s and farmed as well. She was warmly welcomed into the Schwartz family by J.J and Lena Schwartz and sister-in-law Janice. In 1956 Debra was born followed by Shelley in 1960. Helen was a homemaker, loving wife and mother at heart. She did work outside of the home as well, first in the telephone office in Rhein, then in Yorkton for a time at the Yorkton Union Hospital, then at Hearn’s Pharmacy for 27 years, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Helen and Mervin moved to the farm in 1980 where they built their new home. They both enjoyed farm life and worked well together at the life they both loved. She would come home from work during harvest to get on the combine, she enjoyed seeing the results of their hard work. In 1995 they moved to Yorkton when Mervin retired and Helen semi-retired. She was very happy to now be able to see her sisters Mary and Elsie almost on a daily basis. They made many good friends in Yorkton during their retirement life. In earlier years Helen and Mervin found time to enjoy the family cabin at Madge Lake during the summer, as well as taking numerous fishing trips to Cranberry Portage with good friends and family. They managed to travel to Las Vegas, San Diego, Mexico, Vancouver and various places in the USA. The last trip together was Christmas in 2016 to visit her daughter Shelley and grandson Dean and his wife Molly in Lake Havasu City, AZ. This was a trip that she loved and truly enjoyed, she was so happy to be able to travel there. With her caring and loving nature she always kept on top of where her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were and what they were doing, with a phone call, facetime or a message with her iPad. She was very thankful to her grandson, Ryan, who surprised her with one and showed her how to use it, she used it well and every day. She looked forward to the daily updates and the numerous pictures that were sent to her… We will all miss those daily phone calls, facetimes and messages. She treasured her friendships with her sisters, brothers, sisters-in-law, close friends and their great neighbours. She often remarked “I’m so blessed to have them”. Helen leaves to celebrate her life, her husband of 63 years, Mervin; daughter Debra Chesney of Airdrie, AB; daughter Shelley Oystreck of Yorkton; grandchildren: Derek (Tara) Chesney of Saskatoon; Brandi Kufour of Airdrie, AB; Ryan Oystreck of Pemberton, BC and Dean (Molly) Oystreck of Lake Havasu City, AZ; great-grandchildren: Chesney and Lily Kufour, Cadence Chesney and Miles Oystreck.

Margaret was born October 14, 1921 on 3323-3-W2 in the Peach View District west of Saltcoats, SK. She was the eldest child of Evan and Lucy (Neal) Thomas and attended Peach View School. In 1933, when Margaret was 12, Evan and Lucy and family left the farm and moved to England and Wales. They remained in the UK until 1939 when the family moved back to Canada and settled in the Crescent district. Upon their return, Margaret went to work as a hired girl for the Riglin family and the Maddaford family in the Saltcoats area. On May 18, 1946 she was united in marriage to Fred Roebuck of the Waldron area and they made their home in the Hilltop district. In July 1947, a daughter, Ferne, was born and in October 1949 they welcomed their son Brian. Margaret loved the farm and being outside in nature. She loved working with animals, especially her sheep. She spent much time carefully tending her large garden and many beds of beautiful flowers. Her family was her greatest joy and source of pride. She always delighted when they called or visited, ready with cookies and treats and great big hugs; eager to take them for a ride on her gator and show them the newest addition to the farm, the bounty of the vegetable patch or the new variety of flower that she had carefully coaxed from seed. With great determination and support from her family, she was able to stay on the farm for many years after Fred’s death in 1999. She was hospitalized in December 2017 and later transferred to the Yorkton and District Nursing Home where she resided until her passing on June 5, 2018. Margaret was predeceased by her parents, Evan and Lucy Thomas, her husband Fred in 1999, her brother and sister-in-law Bill and Marin Thomas, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Norman and Edith Roebuck, Winnifred and Norman Drake, Reg and Vi Roebuck and son-in-law Harold (Junior) Madsen. She is survived by her daughter Ferne Madsen (Wayne Smith) and son Brian (Donna) Roebuck. Grandchildren Shannon (Ron) Lucas, Shawn (Kristie) Madsen, April (Dustin) Gergely, Allison (Joel) Buchberger and Joran (Neil) Weber. Great-grandchildren Curtis and Owen Lucas, Reese, Sydney and Chelsea Madsen, Mackenzie and Grace Gergely, Cody, Kyle and Liam Buchberger and Morgan and Evan Weber, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends. Margaret left an impression on everyone she met. Her fiery spirit will be greatly missed by everyone especially her grandkids and great-grandkids.
BURAK - Mrs. Pauline Burak, beloved wife of the late Henry Burak of Yorkton, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 31, 2018 at the Yorkton & District Nursing Home following a battle with cancer. She was 90 years of age. Pauline Polishak was born in the Melville district on July 17, 1927. She was the daughter of Stephanie Polishak. Pauline was raised on the family homestead in the Plainview district and attended Plainview School. On October 28, 1945 she was united in marriage to Henry Burak at St. Mary’s Church in Yorkton. The couple farmed in the Plainview district north of Melville and moved into Yorkton and continued to operate the farm. While residing in Yorkton Pauline was a stay at home mother who eventually began babysitting for couples in the neighbourhood and other family members. A loving person by nature Pauline will be remembered for her plain speaking and her wry sense of humour. She was a very compassionate person as we’re sure the grown up children she babysat will attest to. Being shy was not in Pauline’s nature. If she had something to say, she said it whether the person listening wanted to hear it or not. Pauline was the true farmer’s wife. When she was wasn’t preparing the meals and serving the neighbours, who were helping to seed and harvest, she was out in the fields working right alongside the men. She did all this while tending to six children, keeping house, growing a garden, preserving the vegetables, milking the cows and all the other jobs that came along with keeping a farm and household operating. The Burak farm seemed to be the hub of both families. Every weekend during the summer an Aunt and Uncle and car load of cousins would arrive to spend time on the farm. Some even planted gardens there. Pauline would go out, butcher some chickens, gather vegetables from the gardens and cook for everyone. So many cherished memories come from those weekend visits. After the family moved into Yorkton, Pauline kept a garden both on the farm and at their residence in the city. She enjoyed planting flowers and nurturing them along during the growing season. Pauline was a hockey mom and a hockey grandma and spent her fair share of time in arenas. Once her children were grown Pauline had time to enjoy some of her many hobbies. While her vision was still good she spent countless hours doing cross-stitch embroidery. Every child and grandchild still has tea towels and pillow cases that Grandma embroidered. She was an avid Bingo player and enjoyed going out to various bingos and getting to visit with many friends she made while playing the game. She loved to read. She spent countless hours playing solitaire. She loved spending time with her family, her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren and all her friends whenever they stopped by to visit. Her grandchildren especially enjoyed the stories she had to tell them about their mother or father while they were growing up. Much like their home on the farm was a hub for family and friends so was their house in Yorkton. The Funeral Service was held on Tuesday, June 5, 2018 at Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Very Rev. Fr. Bohdan Lukie, C.Ss.R. of St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church officiating. The cantor, Bernadette Gabora, with members of the parish choir, sang the responses. Serving as honourary pallbearer was Glen Senchuk. The interment followed in the Garden of St. Luke at Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Michael Polishak, David Gamracy, Randy Polishak, Greg Els, Logan Els and Ty Puffalt serving as the casket bearers. Memorial donations in Pauline’s memory may be made to the Jowsey House at Yorkton Nursing Home as gifts of remembrance. Condolences to the family may be sent to www.baileysfuneralhome.com.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say goodbye, but little by little we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And your life… gave us memories too beautiful to ever forget.

5 Years.. 1826 Days The time seems but a moment since the day we lost you. Not a day goes by that we do not remember you. We remember your laughter. We remember that gleam in your eye when you told one of your ‘war stories’. We remember how you made a redneck ninja mixer and made the video to prove it. We remember how you introduced us to your special spice mix for the barbeque chicken.. and to sushi. We still feel your love when you smiled and embraced us. 5 Years..1826 Days and we know we have not lost you because we keep you in our hearts.
—Love you, Mom, Dad, James & Tessa 478261_R0011574921_YTW_B_J55_V1

Your smile is gone forever Your hand we cannot touch, Silent memories keep you near As time unfolds another year. No longer in our lives to share But in our hearts you are often there, When thoughts go back as they often do We treasure the memory we have of you. - Carol, Valerie, Carla & families.
Time speeds on, two years have passed Since death its gloom, its shadow, cast Within our home, where all seemed bright, And took from us two shining lights, We miss those lights, and ever will, Their vacant place there is none to fill. Down here we mourn, but not in vain, For up in heaven we will meet again We think of you in silence. No eye may see us weep; But many silent tears are shed When others are asleep. In our hearts your memory lingers, Sweetly tender, fond and true. There is not a day, mom and dad, That we do not think of you. - In our thoughts everyday Ed, Sandy, Myron, Devin and families.

You never said I’m leaving You never said goodbye You were gone before we knew it And only God knew why A million times we needed you A million times we cried If love alone could have saved you You never would have died In life we loved you dearly In death we love you still In our hearts you hold a place That no one could ever fill It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone For parts of us went with you The day God took you home.

PLAN NUMBER 5-3689 COMPACT THREE BEDROOM BUNGALOW Plans for this compact three-bedroom bungalow include an optional stairway, should the occupants wish to include a basement, always useful for a growing family or a guest room. The entry, protected from the elements by a dramatic sloped roof supported by a brick pillar, leads into a foyer with a 10-foot ceiling, which carries through the corridor to the great room at the back of the home. (Ceilings in the dining area, the kitchen and the other rooms measure nine feet.) Sliding glass doors lead from the great room to a covered patio that overlooks the back garden. The dining area includes an optional built-out buffet, providing welcome serving and storage space, and is separated from the kitchen by a prep island. The kitchen’s L-shaped coun-
ter configuration spells efficiency for the cook, who will also appreciate the deep-silled window over the double sink. Two pantries flank a linen cupboard. The master bedroom also includes sliding glass doors to a patio at the back, and has an ensuite with double sinks. The tub and separate shower stall occupy a bayed-out space with a window. A roomy walkin closet completes the lay-out. The second and third bedrooms share a threepiece bathroom. A clever two-way coat closet can be accessed from both the foyer and the laundry room, which includes a shelf for sorting and folding. The laundry room, with access to the double garage, can double as a mud room. Exterior finishes include stucco with wood and brick accents, in addition to a decorative garage door. This home measures 40 feet wide and 71 feet
deep, for a total of 1,547 square feet. Plans for design 5-3689 are available for $795 (set of 5), $860 (set of 8) and $912 for a super set of 10. Also add $35.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $60.00 outside of B.C. Please add H.S.T., PST, OR G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges. Our 50TH Anniversary Edition of the Home Plan Catalogue containing over 400 plans is available for $15.50 (includes taxes, postage and handling).

Property taxes for 2017 were $985.13. The land was used for pasture and there are some outbuildings and an older house. Located near the SK border and is close proximity to Duck Mountain Provincial Park, about a 15 minute drive. Machinery includes tractors, truck, trailer, misc. equipment, rec. household and much more.
That is one of the reasons to like Partido by designer Nick Ryan. Partido is a tile laying game with a simple objective. “Match as many shapes as you can to score points. The first player to 21 points wins.” The game can be learned in about threeminutes. “Stack and place all tiles face down in reach of other players, or leave them in the box. Draw a tile and place it face up to start. Decide which player goes first, turns rotate clockwise. “The first player draws one face down tile and tries to match one or more of the shapes on their tile with any existing tiles on the playing area. “If two or more shapes are matched, one point is awarded for every completed shape (two, three or four). Never one,” details the simple rules. And that my friends is the extent of Partido. If it was a longer game in any facet it would edge toward more effort than the game warrants, but as it is, it’s great. Think of this one as a filler game, or a conversational one for a small group. It plays two to five, which will remind readers a bit of Quartex in its play, a tile-laying game I also highly recommended some time ago. Check it out at www. idyllwildgames.com Thanks to fellow gamers Jeff Chasse, Trevor Lyons and Adam Daniels for their help in running through this game for review.
