Ituna Arena Cooperative kicks off 3.8 million dollar building campaign Submitted by Jack Shymko The Ituna Community Arena Cooperative Board of Directors is excited to announce the official kick-off to their Capital Building Campaign. The planned investment of 3.8 million dollars will fully fund all phases of the planned upgrades.

The existing Arena was built in 1961 and served the community well for many years. The 60-year-old building has reached the end of its life span and plans are underway for significant upgrades. The Arena is the heartbeat of the community, providing not only a venue for hockey and figure skating, but also many other community and recreational activities.

The upgrades to the Arena will take place

in two phases. Phase 1 will begin in the Spring of 2022 with the removal of the old wooden structure and the erection of a new steel structure in its place. The kitchen, ice surface, and dressing rooms will be retained.

Phase 2 will consist of renovated, fully accessible washrooms, four new dressing rooms, referee room, Zamboni room, and mechanical room.

The community of Ituna rallied the province in 2017 and became one of the top two finalists in the Kraft Hockeyville competition and won $100,000 to be used for Arena upgrades. This launched the Arena’s Cooperative’s local fundraising efforts, including successful farming projects, ladies’ nights, hockey tournaments and an on-line auction. To-date

the Arena Cooperative has fundraised $600,000, including a donation of $100,000 from the RM of Bon Accord.

In July 2021, the Town of Ituna approved a $1 million contribution to the Arena Upgrade project.

The committee has actively been applying for infrastructure grants but the status on them is currently unknown. The rising cost of building materials combined with the dilapidated state of the roof make the retrofit urgent and Phase 1 is expected to be completed by Fall, 2022.

The Arena is vital to the Town of Ituna, and residents in the nearby rural and First Nations communities and municipalities. The Capital Building Campaign calls on individuals and businesses, both big and

2021 highway construction season wrap up The 2021 highway construction season is wrapping up and highlighted by construction of new passing lanes and road improvements near provincial parks.

“Improving highway safety is vital for our government and we continue to make record investments into our transportation system,” Highways Minister Fred Bradshaw said. “With this year’s projects, the province is on track to meet its Growth Plan target.”

The Government of Saskatchewan has improved more than 1,000 km of provincial highways this year, the second of its 10-year Growth Plan goal to build and upgrade 10,000 km of highways.

A key commitment for the 2021-22 construction season was the installation of new passing lanes on Highways 2, 3, 7, 14, 16

of a bridge rehabilitation on Highway 1 east of Swift Current as well as 12 bridge and culvert replacements across the province including Highways 2, 5, 18, 26, 35 and 165.

Government continues to invest in intersections and road safety. As part of a five-year $100 million commitment to intersections and road safety, several projects were completed including:

and 39 in Saskatchewan.

While some passing lanes on Highway 16 will be open this winter, additional work will be required in the spring.

Passing lanes provide more opportunities for

drivers to pass safely and reduce collisions.

Highway improvements made this construction season include: • 175 km of repaving; • 635 km of pavement sealing and medium

preservation treatments; and • 240 km of Thin Membrane Surface and rural highway upgrades.

This year’s construction season also included completion

• Intersection rumble strips at the junction of Highway 9 and Highway 22; •Intersection improvements on Highway 364 at Balgonie; •Intersection improvements at the junction of Highway 11 and North Grid Road north of Dundurn; and • Intersection sight triangle and right-of-way sightline improvements

across the province. To date 60 per cent of all highway intersections in Saskatchewan have been addressed.

Two additional projects are expected to be completed this winter including lighting at the junction of Highway 9 and Highway 18, and a flashing warning light at the junction of Highway 55 and Highway 240.

While many projects have wrapped up, work continues year-round.

Drivers are reminded to observe posted speed limits in work zones and slow to 60 km/h when passing highway workers and equipment.

The Government of Saskatchewan has invested more than $10.6 billion in highways infrastructure since 2008, improving more than 17,100 km of Saskatchewan highways.

Protecting our bones after diabetes and hypertension Saskatoon – On November 14, World Diabetes Day aims to raise awareness for the global health threat posed by diabetes, which affects over 460 million people globally, and to promote coordinated efforts to confront diabetes.

People living with type II diabetes and hypertension face an increased

risk of bone fractures.

An international team of researchers has used the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) to identify a potential bone health therapy that could one day alleviate that problem.

The collaboration between the BoneMuscle Research Center at the University of

Texas at Arlington (BMRC-UTA) and the Colleges of Medicine and Kinesiology at USask explored whether hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) could help reduce the fracture risk for people with type II diabetes. Since 50-85 % of diabetic patients live with hypertension, and both conditions are linked to a higher risk of

breaks, this population is particularly vulnerable.

Dr. Kamal Awad, research scientist at the BMRC-UTA and first author on the study, said “bones protect our internal organs and allow us to move, thus maintaining a healthy bone is crucial especially for people suffering from diabetes and hypertension”.

This study focused on

Consumer alert - What to know before buying concert tickets online Tickets to Dierks Bentley’s concert on January 15, 2022, in Regina go on sale this Friday, November 5. The Consumer Protection Division of the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority (FCAA) wants to remind you if you’re planning on buying a concert ticket within the first 48 hours of going on sale, make sure you buy from a primary seller such as Ticketmaster or the concert venue.

Resellers Resellers are not allowed to sell tickets within the first 48 hours of going on sale to the public. After 48 hours, resellers can advertise and resell tickets. Resellers tend to inflate prices and can even sell tickets on a primary seller’s website. However, if you buy directly from a primary seller, you may save on

ticket price hikes.

Additionally, if you buy from a resale site within the first 48 hours, tickets might be fake.

Signs that Tickets May Be Fake: • listed for sale without specific seat numbers; and, • listed in U.S. dollar amounts for a Canadian show.

Protect Yourself - Buy with a Credit Card If you buy from a resale site and get a fake ticket, it may be easier to get a refund by purchasing tickets with a credit card compared to cash or debit. Read the terms and conditions on the card to understand what protections are available.

Problem with a Recently Purchased Concert Ticket?

If consumers wish to file a formal complaint

about ticket sales, they can contact the Consumer Protection Division toll free at 1-877-880-5550 or by email at consumerprotection@gov.sk.ca.

HGF, which is a naturally occurring molecule that is known to regulate cell growth throughout the body. Awad said it is also “associated with bone regeneration, remodelling, and the balance between osteoblast and osteoclast, but what was unknown is how HGF affects the chemical structure of the bone.”

Natasha Boyes, a PhD candidate specializing in cardiovascular disease in the College of Kinesiology at USask and first co-author, is interested in the whole-body effects of cardiovascular disease, and explained remodelling as a change process bones undergo throughout a person’s life.

“Most people think bone should be hard,” she said, “but hard bone can be very brittle. What you want is bone with the right architecture, and bone is always changing.

Any stimulus can cause bone to adjust its structure. For example, if you’re a runner, your bones will change and adapt to better cope with the pounding (biomechanical stress). That’s remodelling.”

To explore how HGF might improve bone health, the researchers did site-specific injections of HGF on diabetic hypertensive rats, then used spectroscopy at the CLS to study the bone chemical structure with a focus on calcium and phosphorous. The team

utilized the facility’s specialized SGM, VLS-PGM, and SXRMB beamline facilities for this analysis.

The results of the study, published in the Journal of Materials Research, showed increases in soluble phosphate in the treated bones. This change indicates that HGF may stimulate the bone into a remodelling phase in response to the detrimental effects of diabetes, hypertension, and the drugs used in treatment.

Awad said synchrotron techniques are critical to understanding the exact chemical structure or the coordination of the calcium and phosphate in bones, but further research is required.

Dr. Venu Varanasi, lead corresponding author, indicated that his team is expanding the collaboration with the USask team lead by Dr. Corey Tomczak to investigate what exactly what HGF does in bone remodelling and how to fine tune its effects as a potential therapy.

For both Boyes and Awad, the long-term goal is to develop a therapy to reduce bone fracture risk, especially in people with type II diabetes and hypertension. Awad added future HGF therapies may also have a role to play in speeding up the healing process after procedures like bone grafts.

EDITORIAL Riding club Despite “code red,” governments members conclude season with trail ride continue to support fossil fuels Courtesy of Preeceville Progress

What’s the best way to respond to a “code red”? Recent research is testing us on that. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s “Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis” — the first part of its sixth assessment — confirms we’ll continue accelerating on a terrible trajectory if we don’t rein in greenhouse gas emissions and protect natural areas that absorb and store carbon.

An earlier International Energy Agency report said keeping the world from catastrophic heating and meeting global net-zero emissions goals by 2050 requires ending new oil and gas exploration and development and not building coal-fired power plants.

A “code red for humanity,” as the IPCC report has been called, should be met with a united, effective, ambitious response — as with COVID-19. With so much evidence that humanity faces a collective existential threat, one would expect governments, industry and civil society to come together to resolve the crisis, especially given the many available and emerging solutions. To be fair, we’ve seen some effort at global climate summits and such, but still more talk than urgently needed action — “blah blah blah,” as Greta Thunberg aptly put it.

As many experts point out, we’re “adding fuel to the fire” of the climate crisis when we should be doing everything possible to extinguish it. According to the International Monetary Fund, world governments are subsidizing coal, oil and gas to the tune of US$11 million every minute! That amounted to almost $6 trillion in 2020. Canada was especially generous, giving the industry close to $64 billion.

The IMF breaks down subsidies into those that cut fuel prices (eight per cent), tax breaks (six per cent), failing to make polluters pay for deaths and

DAVID SUZUKI

Science Matters poor health caused by air pollution (42 per cent) and for heat waves and other impacts of global heating (29 per cent).

In other words, although subsidies through royalty concessions, tax breaks, infrastructure purchases and such are significant, many are derived from the fact that industries like coal, oil and gas don’t account for the costly damage they cause to society. Their price does not reflect their full societal costs.

Using calculations that didn’t include externalities such as damage to health, infrastructure and the environment, an Environmental Defence report estimated Canada’s subsidies at about $18 billion, with $3.28 billion in direct spending and $13.6 billion in public financing for oil and gas companies.

The report notes the total “is an underestimation, as we’re missing a lot of public transparency from the government and oil companies around this financial support, especially tax breaks.”

Some subsidies were for pipelines. “In 2020, Export Development Canada provided up to $5.25 billion in financing renewals for the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, a publicly owned project that will cost at least $12.6 billion and comes with a hefty carbon footprint,” a Narwhal article says.

ED notes that the federal government has committed just $15 billion — over 10 years! — for climate initiatives.

G7 countries, including Canada, have been promising to phase out fossil fuel subsidies since 1990, and in 2016 set a deadline of 2025! They’ve made little progress.

According to ED, “Canada ranks second worst of the G20 countries for public finance to oil and gas” (behind China) and is the worst per capita.

The IPCC report confirms that burning fossil fuels and destroying natural carbon sinks are heating the planet at unprecedented and accelerating rates, that warming will continue at least until mid-century no matter what because of the gases we’ve already emitted and that global warming will exceed 1.5 or 2 C this century unless we rapidly reduce emissions.

We understand the problem, and we have solutions. But we can’t shake the myths of constant growth and fossil-fuelled economic engines. And so, the world continues to prop up a wasteful, archaic, destructive industry simply because it has fuelled our consumer society and its economy for decades.

Giving trillions of dollars to a dying industry that all evidence says must be stopped is not the proper response to a code red. With the world’s nations meeting in Glasgow for the UN climate conference until November 12, they must recognize that the time for incrementalism has long passed.

As Greta Thunberg says, we’ve had enough “blah blah blah.” It’s time for real, transformative change.

Armbruster family farm recognized

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The annual Farmer Recognition Award was presented at the Grain Millers Harvest Showdown by Hammond Realty to the family of Carol and the late Leonard Armbruster of Saltcoats.

The family operates about 10,000 acres covering the traditional range of crops from wheat to canola to flax while remaining “dedicated to the family farm,” detailed Brett Callin in the award introduction at the grain awards evening Thursday.

The farm was started in 1963, with son Joey coming into the operation in 1976 and Joel in 2001.

While responsible for a large number of acres the Armbrusters “are friendly and helpful neighbours,” continued Callin.

As farmers “the Armbrusters are definitely great managers of the land,” and are always eager to try new things including often being involved in trying out prototype equipment, he said.

The family has also been a regular supporter of the Harvest Showdown for 20-plus years.

The award was certainly appreciated by

the family, said Joel Armbruster.

“It’s a big deal for us because we’ve been doing this for a long time,” he said. “Being recognized for what we do feels pretty special.”

For Joel staying on the family farm was almost always his desired future.

“I started driving a grain truck when I was about nine-years-old,” he said.

When he graduated from Yorkton Regional High School he took heavy duty mechanic training in Saskatoon through Maple Farm Equipment, but after the course he headed back to the farm instead of taking a 9-to-5 job.

So how has farming changed for Joel and his family?

“Grain marketing is the biggest thing that’s changed,” he said, then added the scale of machinery has grown too. “. . . Everything has basically doubled in size.”

As machinery has gotten larger the cost has climbed too.

“The prices have gone completely crazy,” said Joel.

And of course there are always bumps on the road when farming.

“When COVID started it was tough. No one knew what to expect,” said Joel, adding the farm sector is still feel-

“Another big thing with COVID we’re starting to see it now, there’s such a delay in getting parts,” he told Yorkton This Week.

And he noted they ordered a new grain truck in June and it will not arrive until next June.

Then of course this

year was unusually dry.

“The drought hit us pretty bad,” said Joel, adding the yields on canola and flax were certain-

ly lower.

The good news is prices are as high as they have ever been.

“Prices are up so that

helps a little bit,” said Joel, adding 2022 is hopefully back on track. “We just hope everything gets back to normal.”

Province introduces amendments to protect landowners from trespass Today, government introduced changes to The Trespass to Property Amendment Act, 2021 that will create stronger penalties for trespass and make it easier for rural landowners to take legal action against trespassers.

“The vast majority of people in Saskatchewan seek permission to access a property,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “These changes will support and extend that best practice by creating a statutory tort of trespass and providing for increased penalties for trespassers.”

The Trespass to Property Act seeks to balance the needs of landowners with the wishes of those who want to access private property for legitimate recreational activities. These changes respond to concerns expressed by rural landowners about individuals who repeatedly trespass on their property.

The new legislation increases the maximum penalty set out in the Act to $25,000 for repeat offenders trespassing on the same property and adds imprisonment up to six months as an available penalty. It will also introduce a $200,000 maximum penalty for a corporation that is complicit in a trespassing offence.

The Bill establishes that property owners can take civil legal action against trespassers who enter or engage in activity on their premises without permission. It will also place an onus on the trespasser to justify why they are on the property, instead of requiring the owner to prove that an individual entered without permission.

These changes support previous amendments to The Trespass to Property Amendment Act, 2021 that are scheduled to come into force on January 1, 2022.

The best way to clear snow off your car Clearing the snow off your vehicle before you drive it will improve your visibility and prevent snow and ice from flying off your car on the highway and potentially blinding the driver behind you. If you can’t park your car in a garage or carport, here are a few things you should know about clearing snow off your vehicle.

GET THE RIGHT TOOLS A good snow brush is one of the most important snow removal tools to have on hand. You should choose one that’s sturdy, easy-to-use and suitable for the size of your vehicle. Telescopic models are extremely useful if you drive a van or have limited reach.

Other essential snow removal tools include an ice scraper with a good grip and a small shovel. You should also use a specially formulated windshield washer fluid that’s designed for extreme temperatures. This will prevent ice from forming on your windshield while you’re on the road.

USE THE CORRECT TECHNIQUE Before defrosting your car, make sure the exhaust pipe is clear to prevent carbon monoxide from building up inside the cabin. Clear the snow off your vehicle from top to bottom, starting with the roof and ending with the

sides. Everything from the windshield to the licence plate, headlights and side mirrors must be cleared of snow.

If your windows are covered in a layer of ice, use a scraper to clean them. However, you should never use this tool on the body of your car, as it could damage the paint. Also, remember to remove any hard-packed snow from your tires since the added friction could cause them to prematurely wear.

Lastly, winter weather is unpredictable. Therefore, you should always give yourself extra time in the morning to properly clear your vehicle of snow. After all, your safety and that of other road users depends on it.

Ways to get your car ready for winter Winter roads can be hazardous and unpredictable. Therefore, it’s best to be prepared for the worst. Here are a few ways you can make sure your car is ready for winter.

1. Fix paint chips on the outside of your vehicle to prevent corrosion. You can get an exact match of the paint shade used on your vehicle from your local mechanic or car dealership.

2. Stock your roadside emergency kit. It’s a good idea to include items such as a shovel, tow rope, jumper cables, flares, matches, traction aids, flashlights, warm clothing, an emergency blanket and a first aid kit. Remember to keep the lock de-icer on you, instead of in the car.

3. Bring your car to a professional to have the spark plugs, brakes, fluid levels and block heater inspected before the cold weather hits.

This will ensure everything is in good working order and help keep you safe on the road.

4. Repair chips in your windshield. Even a minor dent can weaken your windshield, causing it to crack during the winter due to the drastic difference in temperature between the outside and inside of your car.

5. Install rubber mats to help prevent your interior carpeting from becoming caked with mud, dirt and snow. If your car’s flooring becomes waterlogged with melted snow, it can fog up your windows.

Remember to shake out your boots before getting in the car.

6. Make an appointment for a rustproofing treatment to protect your vehicle from corrosion. This is especially important if you park your car in a heated garage.

7. Lubricate your car’s rubber door seals with a silicone spray. This will prevent your doors from freezing shut in the cold and ensure your seals remain in good condition.

You may also want to invest in a roadside assistance membership for added peace of mind.

How to choose winter tires Are you in the market for a new set of winter tires? If so, you’ll need to keep a few things in mind, including the size of the tire you require and the type of driving you plan on doing.

Snow tires are recommended for drivers who regularly travel on snow-covered roads, as they provide superior traction and can cut through slush. Ice tires, however, are best for drivers who do a lot of highway driving, where frozen asphalt and icy conditions are common.

If you often take backroads

KingsGlass_2x28.L12_R0011887533.indd 1

that don’t get regularly cleared, you may want to consider purchasing studded tires. Just be aware that they can be quite noisy.

Value for money When it comes to winter tires, a higher price tag usually indicates a higher-quality product. Consequently, paying a bit more for a pair of winter tires that will last you several

seasons is a good trade-off. You can count on the tires to be reliable, durable and keep you safe on the road. Watch out for sales to get the best value for your money.

To find the right tires for your car, ask an expert in your area for advice. They’ll be able to answer your questions and suggest products that are suited to your needs.

2. HEADLIGHTS Before you hit the road this winter, make sure your headlights are working. If they seem dim, replace the bulbs. In addition, if your headlights look foggy, polish them to help improve visibility.

3. CABIN AIR FILTER Over time, the air filter in your vehicle’s cabin can become dirty and clogged with dust. If this happens, your heating system is likely to become compromised. Therefore, you should replace the cabin air filter every one to two years.

4. BATTERY It can be extremely frustrating if your car refuses to start on a cold morning. To prevent this from happening, have your battery inspected by an expert before the cold weather arrives.

For a complete pre-winter inspection of your vehicle’s spark plugs, suspension, brakes, belts, fluid levels, thermostat, engine and more, make an appointment with a mechanic or garage in your area

Winter can take a toll on your car. To make sure your vehicle is ready for the season ahead, here are four things you should check in the fall.

1. TIRES Inspect your tires to make sure they’re properly inflated and the tread is in good shape.

Improper tire pressure can increase your car’s fuel consumption, which is bad for the environment and your wallet.

CEPI awards USask’s VIDO $6M for vaccine development Saskatoon — The Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) has received approximately CAN$6 million from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI).

This is CEPI’s first ever award to a Canadian university. The award is part of CEPI’s $200-million program to advance the development of vaccines that provide broad protection against COVID-19 variants and other coronaviruses.

CEPI is a leading global partnership launched in 2017 to develop vaccines against future epidemics. CEPI’s global membership has representation from all continents

and includes public, private, philanthropic and civil society organizations.

VIDO’s funding will be used to establish proof of concept for new vaccines that are broadly protective against COVID-19 variants and are suitable for use in low- and middle-income countries. The platform involves identifying vaccine targets, vaccine formulation, manufacturing process development and preclinical testing. It can also be adapted to develop vaccines for other coronaviruses as well as future high-consequence infectious diseases that have yet to emerge.

Partnering in the project is the

Vaccine Formulation Institute (VFI) in Switzerland. VFI developed the Sepivac SWE™ adjuvant in collaboration with its industrial partner Seppic (a company of Air Liquide group).

This project builds on COVID19 research funded by the Government of Canada and the Government of Saskatchewan through Innovation Saskatchewan. VIDO’s COVID19 vaccine, COVAC-2, is formulated with Sepivac SWE™ and is currently in clinical trials.

CEPI has a $3.5-billion, fiveyear plan, which aims to reduce or even eliminate the future risk of pandemics and epidemics.

Developing globally accessible vaccines which are broadly protective against COVID-19 variants is imperative for global health security.

Through this new partnership with VIDO we are taking the first steps towards achieving that goal.

- Dr. Richard Hatchett, CEO, CEPI

USask researcher uses evolutionary biology to bring medieval literature to new life, online Saskatoon – Italian poet Dante Alighieri’s epic poem Divine Comedy (Commedia) is now available for free and in richer detail than ever before, thanks to a new online platform created with University of Saskatchewan (USask) research.

As part of festivities commemorating the 700th anniversary of Dante’s death, an international team of researchers including

USask English professor Dr. Peter Robinson (PhD) and Prue Shaw, emeritus reader in Italian studies at University College London, is launching a new online edition of the Italian master work with a twist—using evolutionary biology to trace how previous versions are related.

“This edition brings phylogenetic and database tools together with traditional scholarly research in a way never

before available,” said Robinson.

The culmination of years of negotiations, the free online resource at www.dantecommedia.it makes widely accessible what was “previously available only to a very few readers with privileged access to the great libraries of Europe,” said Robinson.

This new edition breaks ground in many ways: it is the first edition of any major work by any

author in any language to bring together, in a free online interface, full sets of images of seven key manuscripts and two modern editions—more than 2000 pages.

The mobile phonefriendly platform includes specialized tools for exploring the relationships between the texts, and a word-byword comparison of all the texts, including all variants of every word.

“This edition will be for everyone: from the beginning student of Italian who just wants to look at beautiful images of precious manuscripts, to the scholar exploring advanced hypotheses

about the text in the manuscripts, down to the level of each individual stroke of the pen,” Robinson said. “A 500page editorial introduction, in English, leads the reader deep into the manuscripts and their text.”

Robinson’s role in this collaboration was to develop the digital tools used at every point of the project, many of which he created, and to make the interface and infrastructure for the final published edition.

As well as a 30-year partnership between Shaw and Robinson, key collaborators on the project have included

Lino Leonardi (Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, and Fondazione E. Franceschini), David Robey (Oxford University Internet Institute), the Italian Digital Humanities DARIAH institute, and scientists from the Department of Molecular Biology, University of Cambridge.

The project has relied on funding from Canada’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, and the Rockefeller Foundation in the United Kingdom.

“The next task: expand this edition to cover all 800 manuscripts of the Commedia,” Robinson said.

Chess and D&D come together If our little ‘guild’ had a dollar for every time a new game came out that likened itself in some way, shape or form – well we’d have a lot more dollars to spend the next time we visited a game store.

By its nature chess is a great game to try and connect a new project to.

There is to begin with an immediate understanding of the type of game the new release is because most people, even those who never play board games knows a bit about chess – Queen’s

Gambit likely increasing that knowledge a fair bit too.

There is also some expectation of the game, if it is truly ‘chess-like’ will have an immediate following, although it is likely hardcore chess players are too focused in the game, and maybe its immediate variants, to venture too far down a rabbit hole exploring every new game professing chess qualities.

The more casual chess player might be more intrigued by a new offering, although that might

THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com depend on how varied their game interests and how many ‘chess-like’ games they want to own.

In my case, the world chess is like catnip and I’m a chubby tabby.

So when I happened upon Vilitum on a Facebook page recently I was off on a web search to get a closer look.

What I quickly found was a game where piece

movement is quite familiar, although not exact clones of several chess pieces including the knight which some suggest ‘must be’ present to be considered a chess variant.

Of course there are a vast number of variants you can play by tweaking a regular chess set so familiar piece movement wasn’t going to cut it for Vilitum to truly grab my attention.

But, this one held a lot more promise as I read on.

To begin with, at least

initially, you won’t be capturing pieces on a single turn. Pieces have rings and on an attack they are removed to signify the piece has taken damage. Get the last ring you take the piece.

That alone adds a bit more of a ‘real battle’ feel to Vilitum, and also made me think about how characters take damage in a role playing game such as Dungeons & Dragons.

It became further evident D&D played a role here as pieces in Vilitum have special Continued on Page 12

November is DIABETES AWARENESS MONTH How to manage your blood sugar if you have Type 2 diabetes November is Diabetes Awareness Month. To help shed some light on the practices required to help manage Type 2 diabetes, here are five ways people with this disease can keep their blood sugar level in check.

1. EXERCISE REGULARLY Regular exercise can help increase insulin sensitivity, which may improve your body’s ability to use the available sugar in your bloodstream.

Furthermore, when you exercise, your muscles use glucose for energy, thereby preventing it from accumulating in your body.

2. STAY HYDRATED Drinking plenty of water and sugar-free fluids can help you lower your blood sugar level by diluting the amount of glucose in your bloodstream. Staying hydrated also helps your kidneys flush any excess sugar out of your body.

3. EAT A HEALTHY DIET It’s a good idea to limit your consumption of the kinds of food that can cause your blood sugar level to spike. Cutting back on carbohydrates, eating more lean protein and vegetables and adding more fibre to your diet can help stabilize your blood sugar level.

4. GET ENOUGH SLEEP Poor or insufficient sleep can negatively affect your blood sugar level in the short and long term. In fact, a lack of sleep causes your body to produce more cortisol, which can lead to increased insulin resistance and a higher blood sugar level.

5. MONITOR YOUR BLOOD SUGAR Regularly monitoring your blood sugar level is one of the best ways to take control of your Type 2 diabetes. It allows you to find out what impacts your blood sugar so you can effectively adjust your diet, exercise and medications.

If you have any questions or concerns about monitoring your glucose level, contact your doctor for advice.

A good dog is a huge help with cattle

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Callie Holodniuk works cattle on the farm near Norquay.

Or, more specifically, she manages Remmy and Hoss, a pair of border collies who do most of the cattle herding.

“I went to Vermillion (Lakeland College). They had a stock dog club.

I started there,” said Holodniuk during a break after putting her two dogs through their paces during the first day of the Heartland Livestock Services Stock Dog Competition at the Grain Millers Harvest Showdown in Yorkton

Thursday.

Holodniuk said “we always had dogs on the farm, but we never trained them.”

The training part includes the handler learning what they need to do too, added Holodniuk.

“The dogs know more than I do usually,” she said, adding often her role is simply “to give some directions” and the dogs do the rest.

While the Yorkton event was something of a fun outing for Holodniuk and other competitors, Hoss and Remmy are working dogs at home.

“I use them as much as I can.

TOGETHER Continued from Page 11 powers, such as being able to ‘heal’ damage other pieces take. Having choices in terms of what ‘power’ is best used on a turn ups the game from simply being move and capture.

The game can be played on a 5X5 board, or you can add a couple of additional pieces and play on a 7X7, which is a nice option too.

It was enough for me to

contact designer Aaron Bilyeu for some more background on Vilitum.

“I’ve been trying to make game publishing/ designing my career since 2018,” said Bilyeu who lives in Chickasha, Oklahoma.

“I’ve also tried, unsuccessfully, to be a full time musician for over a decade now. I’m currently having a bit of success drumming in an Americana band named

They’re better than a couple of people usually. If you’ve got a good dog you don’t need a lot of help,” said Holodniuk, adding that is important when finding people to work on a farm often isn’t easy.

While stock dog competitions – usually a single dog working to pen three cattle with the handler whistling and calling commands -- are held all over the Prairies, Holodniuk takes in only the Yorkton event each year.

“It’s experience for my dogs and for me, and to see what we can do,” she said, adding that while it Callie Holodniuk and her border collie Remmy leave “is fun” there in an important edu- the ring at the Heartland Livestock Services Stock Dog cation aspect to the competition. competition.

‘Across the Washita’.

Otherwise, I’ve worked a variety of jobs over the years... Whatever pays my bills and works well with my schedule is all that really matters to me.”

But the itch to design games remains strong.

“I’ve been a fan of board games for as long as I can remember,” said Bilyeu. “I remember playing the classics like chess, checkers - which I really hate - and mancala

- which is my favourite since I was pretty young, but I’ve always played a wide variety is games.

“I would say that my real enjoyment and appreciation of abstract games was pretty recent.

After becoming a game designer, I began to really appreciate game design and started to see abstract games as the purest form of the ‘art’ of game design.

“I know that sounds

like I’m trying to be profound, but it’s really where my head was at the time. I think I was just on an abstract kick, but I really do love abstract games. One of my favourite things about any game is when it’s easy to learn but hard to master.

The deceptively simple nature of abstract games is really appealing to me.

“I also just love that strategy games really feel like a true battle of skill without all of the extra fluff of euro style games or big expensive miniature games. Those are just too much.”

But, the idea of actually designing you might say came on a dice role.

“I purchased a set of dice where each die was themed after a different monster like a dragon, a kraken, and a demon,” said Bilyeu. “I thought, ‘how cool would it be if there was a game that used dice like these?’

“I just couldn’t get that idea out of my head and I thought would be fun.

So I made my first game.

It was a pretty bad card game similar to Magic the Gathering, but with dice.

I later had another idea that worked much better and now I just can’t stop.”

Interestingly, Vilitum is a game that actually worked well from the outset, said the designer.

“I don’t know if this a good thing, but it hasn’t changed a whole lot,” offered Bilyeu. “The biggest change it’s gone through is the addition of the special abilities for each piece and the soldier pieces.

“The original Vilitum was much more plain.

Only the warrior and cleric could do anything other than move and attack.

“Over the next couple of months, we added and tweaked the other abilities.

“After that, I started thinking of some more possible pieces. I’ve only come up with the soldier so far, but I’m still trying to think of more for future expansions.”

Adding pieces to an established game proved challenging.

“The hardest part of development was probably the soldiers (that allow 7X7 play),” said Bilyeu. “It took me a good

while just to figure out a basic idea for them.

“They also have the most unique movement which took a bit.

“Honestly though, the general balancing of every piece was its own challenge of getting it just right.

“I will say that the Archer and Rogue gave me the least amount of trouble.”

Still the abilities – which really grabbed me – did the same for Bilyeu.

“In my opinion, the special abilities are what really make the strategy of Vilitum shine,” he said. Otherwise, I’d say it’s variety. A variable set up, different board sizes, optional extra pieces, and even some optional rules let people really make their own best version of Vilitum.”

It is neat that through the game’s Kickstarter campaign you can purchase a physical set, or the files to print your own 3D version. Bilyeu was nice enough to share those files, and our little 3D printer goblin went to work.

The print job was a tad more challenging than he had expected – although the printer is not a Cadillac version, or a Pinto either, for what that’s worth.

“If they reworked their models to be support-less it would be a great selling point,” said Jordan. “I don’t know if people who want to 3D print a board game will want to have to essentially print a miniature on top of a column, they’re hard enough to print on FDM as it is without being able to reorient. I ended up taking three of them off their columns to add supports to the figure and then proceeded to knock bits off of them taking off the supports.

“So there’s a wizard without a book because it launched itself across the room and a warrior with two different length legs since he came right off his base.

“Shields also came off and were glued back.”

Some printing issues aside, this is a true ‘chess-alike’ with a very D&D aspect, and that just means you should mark it a must-have.

Pride flag added to YRHS wall

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton Regional High School has a bright new symbol of it being an inclusive environment – a permanent multi-coloured Pride flag on the front of the school.

“I was sitting on the bus going in front of the school,” recalled Kaitlyn Kelly, adding she saw the various flag flying. “I thought it would be so cool to have the Pride flag with all the other flags.”

So Kelly took the idea to school principal Mike Haczkewicz.

Haczkewicz said he recalled Kelly coming into his office terming her “a lady on a mission.”

On that first visit Kelly told her principal she was “so proud we fly the Pride flag,” but was “hoping we can do more.”

Kelly wanted a permanent flag pole because YRHS was an “inclusive

school 365 days a year,” he said.

But some investigation determined a flag pole would cost $7000, which shelved the idea.

“Little did I know the wheels were still turning,” said Haczkewicz.

The new idea was a wall installation much like the one already on the school marking it as the basketball venue of a former Saskatchewan Summer Games.

With some help from the shop instructor to fashion the ‘flag’ and the Rainbow Club – a group of 20-30 students actively supporting inclusion at the school -- pitching in to paint, the installation became a reality unveiled today (Wednesday).

“Kelly did all the groundwork” toward making the flag “a permanent part of the landscape in the land of orange,” said Haczkewicz.

Kelly praised her principal for being very

supportive of her idea.

“I’m so proud our administration has been so supportive. There were never any obstacles administration wise,” said Kelly.

Various student’s comments regarding the installation includes; • “The flag being on the school is important to me because it means I have a safe place to be who I am and feel accepted in my identity.”

• “Being on the school is a symbol of progress. The fact that we are even putting a flag so ‘out there’ shows how far the LGBTQ2+ movement has come.”

• “Is a symbol of acceptance and change in our community. It shows we are trying to be an accepting group and anyone of any identity is welcome here.”

• “Shows people that they are not alone. That they are surrounded by people just like them.”

The Pride flag installation, seen top left, was unveiled last Wednesday.

Terriers split on road

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer After weekend action the Yorkton Terriers sit with a 7-10-0-0 record and 14 points in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.

The Terriers sit second in the Viterra Division 11-points behind front running Estevan and three-up on both Melville and Weyburn.

It took only 1:06 of action Saturday for the Terriers to hit the score sheet in Rosetown versus Kindersley, with Colby Vrani notching the marker.

But, the hometown Klippers responded

quickly as Jaxon Georget evened things 1-1 scoring at 5:31.

Aidan Bangs gave Kindersley the lead at 8:32, with the 2-1 score holding through the remainder of the first period.

The 2-1 score would hold through a scoreless middle frame.

Carson Henry scored at 7:45 of the third to tie the contest, but a second goal by Georget at 15:55 would give the home side a 2-1 win.

Bradley Mistol was in net for the Terriers for the loss facing 24-shots, while Brett Sweet was in net for the Klippers and the win facing 27.

Friday action The Terriers visited the Battlefords North Stars Friday striking first with a goal by Logan Cyca at 7:43 of the opening frame.

The Stars tied the game at 18:26 on a goal

by Emmet Wurst, only to have Yorkton reestablish a one-goal lead eight seconds later when Kishaun Gervais found the twine.

The second period was a carbon copy with Gervais scoring first for Yorkton 57-seconds in, only to have Battlefords reply with a Matthew Henry goal at 3:37.

Then Maddux Nollski scored for Yorkton at

7:41, making it a 4-2 lead through 40-minutes.

Yorkton again struck first in the third period on a goal by Karsten Kruska at 8:35, but again Battlefords replied, this time only 10-seconds later on a goal by KevinThomas Walters at 8:45.

But that would be it for scoring as Yorkton took a 5-3 win.

Kael DePape was in net for Yorkton facing 34-shots.

The Stars split time between Michael Harroch facing 27 shots and Ulrik Roussel who faced 27 as well, but was tagged with the loss allowing four of the five goals.
