Big weekend at Mike Schwean Arena By Sierra D’Souza Butts, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (The World Spectator Moosomin) The Rangers Alumni Association was created earlier this year with the goal of fundraising for the Moosomin Senior Rangers hockey team. Mike Schwean, the president of the group talks about what’s in store for the upcoming alumni weekend on Dec. 10. “This is a cool weekend for us, we’re calling it our alumni weekend. On the Friday night we’re tieing the event in with a Christmas party but we’re also tieing it with our Parks and Recreation awards. We’re doing our awards Friday night which we do annually, then we’re also doing our two inductions to our Wall of Fame. Damon Hunt, who’s going to be in the NHL in a year or two and Mitchell Rutledge, are the two inductions there.” The Wall of Fame is at

the ice rink in the Mike Schwean Arena and includes jerseys of players from communities in and around Moosomin, that have gone off to pursue hockey at a higher level. “Then we have our first ever Ranger Hall of Fame, our alumni committee voted on that. We have four players, Barry Johnson and Gary Windrim who played in the 70s and 80s, Bob Baczuk and Bob Mullett who played in the 80s and 90s. Then we have one builder Don Ferguson, he’s been with the team since ‘78 and never left the team, he’s been on the executive for about 50 years.” This new Ranger Hall of Fame is dedicated to prominent players who have played for the Moosomin Senior Rangers in the past. After the inductions for the Hall of Fame, Schwean says supper and a show will also be happening during Friday night’s event. “Then we have supper

and a band from Regina for the cabaret, they’re a good band. For that event we are selling tables, we have about 5 or 6 tables left. That will be packed. We also have Kelly McClintock who is the director of Sask Hockey, he’ll be there to say a few words.” Schwean says tickets are selling fast. For individual seats one can purchase a ticket for $50 or if someone is buying a table, tickets will be $45 per seat. “Then on Saturday we’re going to have an alumni game, where Moosomin Rangers will play Wapella Blackhawks, which is an interesting event itself because those were two teams that hated each other 20 years ago. But Moosomin and Wapella have obviously grown close since. That event is happening at 5 o’clock then there will be a social up in the lounge, then a Ranger Alumni and Ranger Senior game that night.” “For that game, we ordered 21 Wapella Blackhawk jerseys that have alumni members from Wapella on the back. The guys will wear those jerseys, then we’ll auction them off, there’s some great Wapella names on those. We look at Walpella as the same as us, that’s why we wanted to do something for their alumni as well.” Schwean says he’s had requests from the com-

munity to see more of the alumni team and senior team come together. “We’ve had requests from the community when we go out to fundraise for money, to see not just the senior players more but of the alumni. This event is a chance to have everyone come together and socialize in the lounge.” In preparation for the weekend’s big event, he says the alumni team is very excited for it to happen. “Everyone’s excited about it, this is our first winter event. Just getting everything wined up for the event, it’s exciting, the team’s doing well, the alumni is doing well it’s an exciting time for us right now,” says Schwean. “It’s nice to see the team doing well, we’ve had some tough years so it’s important to the town, it’s important to the rink and to have the team at 2-0. They’re not going to win every game and they’ll have some hard competition but it’s nice to see them competitive. We have some really great players.” Schwean says when he first formed the alumni association, his intentions was to make a difference by helping and inspiring the senior hockey team. “Our first thought when we started fundraising and putting up the Hall of Fame and banners up, was that not only players now but kids

playing hockey, will have something to inspire to. Some people might think it’s just senior hockey, but it’s important to the community, kids look up to the players now and the players now will look up to the players that will be in the Hall of Fame. I think it’s real circular and I think it’s really important.” “Last year was kind of a bad year for the team, they played a few games then got shut down because of Covid and we knew that they had a lot of expenses and things like that, so there was quite a few ex players around and we thought we could form a group to do some fundraisers and raise some money for the team.” Schwean says the alumni association started in April of this year and consists of 20 members. “We’re always taking more people, the only criteria is being a former Ranger, we have about 20 guys right now, which is good. They vary in age from about 30 to 65, there’s quite a range.” He says to be a member of the association, individuals must have been part of the Senior Rangers Hockey team, whether as a player or part of the executive team. “We ask that, and not just as a player, as an executive or volunteer just with anyone with a commitment to the team.

I think the guys there want to see the team do well, there’s older guys that go out and enjoy watching the game and there’s younger guys with kids who will probably be a Ranger someday so there certainly is a connection and that’s what we were going for. We wanted to get those people in the community more involved with the team. I think it’s important.” Schwean says his passion for hockey is what made him want to start this association. “I have an affinity for hockey, I grew up at the rink. For me this is just what I like to do. We just hope our event next week goes well, we hope that if there’s someone on the fence of coming next Friday, we hope they buy a ticket because they are helping with our senior hockey team.” Anyone interested in purchasing a ticket for the alumni weekend on Dec. 10 to 11, can contact Schwean at: msmn.rec. brd@sasktel.net.

Site selected for new Grenfell long-term care home The Government of Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) have finalized the location of a new publicly-funded, publicly-operated longterm care facility for residents of Grenfell and area. The 33-bed home will be built on a vacant parcel of land located on the northeast corner of the town. The land is owned by the Town of Grenfell. The SHA will operate the new facility. Saskatoon-based Strategic Prairie Region Alliance has been engaged to design the new facility, with Colliers Canada’s Regina-based Continued on Page 3

Saskatchewan RCMP highlights Police Dog Services with ‘Ask the Expert Video Series’ It’s no secret that dogs have an amazing sense of smell. With their unique skills and bravery, police dogs have become an irreplaceable part of many policing services. As the provincial police service, the Saskatchewan RCMP Police Dog Services Unit is one of the many specialized units we have that help keep the communities we serve safe. Paws what you’re doing and check out our latest Ask the RCMP Expert feature: Cpl. Craig Matatall with the Saskatchewan RCMP Police Dog Unit explains the extensive training our Police Dogs goes through, what types of situations Police Dogs respond to and more! Here is a little “sniffit” of Cpl. Matatall’s interview:

What is the Police Dog Services Unit? Cpl. Matatall: The Police Dog Services is a specialized support unit

that assists the General Duty members in an area. Our primary role is to work a dog. A police dog is used for tracking and searching for evidence, people, suspects, anything. If you want to find something, we’re an option and we’re a specialized unit that will come and assist.

What kind of training does the officer go through to become a dog handler? Cpl. Matatall: Once an officer is selected to go to the basic dog handler training course, the officer goes to Innisfail, Alberta, for six months where you train your police service dog in three levels. Level One, you start off easy, it’s basic training like rural tracks, obedience training, agility training and basic criminal apprehension. And once you’ve demonstrated you can do everything on a consistent basis to meet

the standard, you move on to Level Two which includes rural and urban industrial areas and a few more distractions that enter into the tracking profile. You enter into the searching profile of ditches and buildings for firearms and people, as well as field searches for people. And once you’ve again demonstrated a consistent ability to meet the standard, you move on to Level Three which is more urban, lots more distractions, a lot more people around for the tracking profile and you get into the advanced part of obedience, the criminal apprehension control and all the searches. And then, once you have demonstrated all of that again, you get tested at the end and move on to your working dog team.

Sask. announces $2.5 million for Re-skill Saskatchewan Training Subsidy

SITE SELECTED Continued from Page 2 team providing project management services, following a Request for Proposals process earlier this year. “We’re happy to be moving ahead with this project, which will provide a safe, healthy and home-like environment for residents and staff,” Mental Health and Addictions, Seniors and Rural and Remote Health Minister Everett Hindley said. “Not only will the new home be a wonderful place to live and work, it will allow seniors to remain in Grenfell and be closer to their loved ones.” The Provincial Budget, released on April 6, included $3.6 million in funding to advance design and engineering work for the new facility. “This site selection is a key milestone for the new facility in Grenfell,” SaskBuilds and Procurement Minister Jim Reiter said. “This project is an important part of our government’s commitment to build a stronger, healthier Saskatchewan through investments in health infrastructure.”

“The community of Grenfell has been looking forward to this announcement,” Moosomin MLA Steven Bonk said. “This investment will improve long-term care services for the people of Grenfell and will be a great addition to the community.” “The Saskatchewan Health Authority is excited that the site has been selected so we can move forward with the new care home,” Primary Health Care Executive Director Jacqui Kennett Peppler said. “The publicly owned and operated Grenfell Care Home will provide 33 residents the comforts of home with the high quality care needed in a supportive environment.” Residents of the old Grenfell Pioneer Home, which closed in 2018, were relocated to nearby facilities. They will be offered the first opportunity to move into the new home. Funding for the new Grenfell facility was approved as part of stimulus funding announced in May 2020.

Cpl. Matatall: If you’re searching for anything, a suspect fled a scene - you can use the tracking profile. Searching for any type of evidence, whether it be a handgun or clothing or anything with human scent, the dogs can search. It’s up to the General Duty members, if they feel we can be of assistance they’ll just give us a call and then we’ll assess it over the phone, and the majority of the time attend and see what we can do to help them. For the full feature, watch here: https:// w w w. y o u t u b e . c o m / watch?v=o8XRtwX71WU “Police Service Dogs are a vital part of our provincial policing team. Whether they are assisting our officers with traffic stops, searching for a missing person, finding evidence or nar-

cotics or apprehending a fleeing suspect... They are trained for any terrain they are brought to which is critical in Saskatchewan – they can be searching open plain, fields, dense brush, forested area and anything in between,” says Cpl. Craig Matatall, Saskatchewan RCMP Police Dog Services.

EDITORIAL We have to stop squandering our time on Earth The planet and its miraculous nature will go on with or without us. After all, extinction is an essential part of life’s history on the planet, and we humans seem determined to fuel our own demise through unsustainable exploitation and destruction of the natural world that makes human life and flourishing possible. In the 3.9 billion years we think life has existed on Earth, immense changes have occurred. The sun is 30 per cent warmer today, great continental plates have pulled apart and smashed together, mountains have risen up, oceans filled then emptied. Magnetic poles have reversed then switched back. Ice ages have punctuated warm periods. After life invented photosynthesis, the atmosphere was transformed by removal of carbon dioxide and addition of oxygen. Those life forms were fixed by their heredity to specif-

ic habitats and needs, so when environmental conditions changed, they were displaced by others better suited to the new state. More than 99.99 per cent of all species that have ever existed are extinct, and that is how life has persisted. The fossil record indicates five mass extinction episodes have occurred, defined by disappearance of more than 75 per cent of all species within 2.8 million years, a mere blink in evolutionary time. In the five great extinctions, 75 to 90 per cent of terrestrial and marine plants and animals vanished. Despite these enormous disruptions, life recovered in diversity and abundance, although radically different in makeup. In the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction 66 million years ago, when dinosaurs disappeared after ruling the planet for 180 million years, mammals took advantage and

thrived. On average, an invertebrate species’ lifespan is about 11 million years, and a mammalian species lasts between one and two million years. After a mass extinction, ecosystems recover after two million years, while the biosphere takes about 10 million years to fully flourish again. These numbers and time frames are inferred from the fossil record and geology, and can provide a framework within which to assess the current epoch, often called the Anthropocene. The explosive growth of human numbers, technological innova-

Science Matters

tion and demands of the global economy have amplified our species’ ecological footprint so greatly that we have triggered another mass extinction episode. Unlike the previous five, this sixth extinction is the direct consequence of one species, us — an infant species that has only been around for 300,000 years. Although I have faith that nature will continue on despite all we’ve done, whether or not we’re around for it, it will take millions of years for the biosphere to equilibrate again with another array of unimaginable and wondrous biodiversity.

It’s as if we’ve sped up time. Many plant and animal species we care about were destined to be here for a few million years at most, but now they’re disappearing at unimaginable rates, often within our lifetimes. We’re the first species to have caused rapid extinction and to be aware of what we’re doing. We have spread across the planet and become a geological force, reshaping the land and water according to our demands. But as the top planetary predator, we’re one of the species most vulnerable to extinction — of other species and our own. If the plants and animals we rely on for food and more become extinct, we’re in trouble. We have the intelligence to recognize the crisis and resolve it by pulling back, ceasing activities that contribute to extinctions, and encouraging nature. Nature always bats last,

and wins. That’s because it sets the rules. And nature has an ace up its sleeve: time, all the time in the world until the sun burns out and is no more. We have become the impatient species, too busy to let nature replenish itself and too puffed up with our own sense of importance to acknowledge our utter dependence on its generosity. Instead, we steal from our children and future generations by extinguishing so many species that could have been here for them too. We have many reasons to change our destructive ways, to show greater respect to nature. Above all, we have to think of the world we’re leaving to our children and grandchildren and those yet to be born. We must do it for love.

SSR Mining Inc. buys Taiga Gold Corp. for $27M By Nick Pearce Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (The StarPhoenix) Saskatchewan’s lone gold miner is spending millions to buy an exploration company in the province’s north. Vancouver-based SSR Mining Inc. has acquired Taiga Gold Corp. for $27 million at a price of CAD $.265 per share in an allcash transaction that will expand the miner’s footprint across the province. SSR Mining operates the Seabee gold mine, which is about 125 kilometres northeast of La

Ronge. A joint news release hailed the sale — which both companies’ boards of directors unanimously supported — as a friendly acquisition. “This transaction with SSR Mining fulfils the goal we set out to accomplish upon Taiga Gold’s formation in 2018,” Taiga Gold CEO Tim Termuende said. SSR Mining CEO Rod Antal, in a prepared statement, said the deal underlines the Vancouver miner’s commitment to extending the life of the Seabee mine into the next decade.

The deal includes 34,569 hectares across five new properties, which will be targets for exploration in areas running from south of the Seabee mine to the Amisk property near Flin Flon. It also gives SSR Mining a 100 per cent interest in Taiga Gold’s flagship Fisher property near the Seabee gold mine. The Fisher property borders the Seabee gold operation on the north, south and east. As of January, SSR Mining had already spent $15 million on the project.

The property supplies potential future ore sources to extend the operating life of Seabee, “particularly given the excess capacity at the Seabee mill and the recently completed tailings facility expansion which provides capacity through 2031 at current production levels,” a news release said. The miner and Taiga previously held the property as a joint venture. Adding Taiga Gold exploration assets across the province’s north expands the miner’s presence in a “region we consider exceptionally

prospective geologically and under-explored,” Antal said. Taiga Gold is also terminating an option agreement with SKRR Exploration Inc., which had a 75 per cent interest in one of the properties. The company has agreed to pay SKRR CAD $900,000 to make that effective immediately. The company intends to call a meeting on or before March 15 to get shareholder approval for the deal. A Scotiabank research note on the acquisition expected shareholders to view the deal posi-

Men’s golf club pays City early By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Deer Park Men’s Club had an agreement with the City of Yorkton to fund $136,719 of the work to create a new #7 green at the golf course. The agreement initiated in 2018 was to have the men’s club pay the money over a five-year period. But, at the regular meeting of Yorkton Council club president

Cliff Trombley made a presentation of the final $9,719 “years in advance of our original arrangement.” The club had provided $65,000 initially, then made a payment of $40,000 in 2019, and $22,000 in 2020. Trombley said the Club is now looking at their next potential project at the course, adding they already have $30,000 set aside. When they have decid-

ed on a project, Trombley told Council they would be looking for one adjustment from the city. “The one variance in the proposal from past proposals is that we will be requesting that the City assist our endeavour(s) by supplying the clay fill required for the next project(s). The reason we ask for this is that the city has access to this type of material (for example, the city has been haul-

ing clay fill to the landfill on a continuous basis over the past number of years),” detailed material circulated to Council. “To put this issue in perspective, the clay fill on the new #7 green was over 27 percent of the total cost of the project (over $35,000.00),” said Trombley. “When we decide on our next project, we are asking that you start stock-piling clay fill in the location of the pro-

posed project as the clay becomes available. We understand timing may be an issue, but if you have a three to six-month lead time, we are certain that you can coordinate it with projects that are going on within the City to redirect the fill to the golf course instead of the landfill.” City manager Lonnie Kaal said that working with the club to stockpile fill should not be a problem.

tively in light of potential expansions to mine life. “Although Taiga’s assets appear to be in relatively early stages of exploration, the acquisition does add to SSR’s exploration upside potential and we look forward to announcements about future exploration programs,” the research note stated.

Baking business proves therapeutic for Preeceville youth Courtesy of Preeceville Progress Hannah Kidder has found the outlet of baking macaroons to be physically and mentally therapeutic. Her business Fainting Goat Macaron has been taking shape for the past four years and has started to gain in popularity. She was diagnosed with Dysautonomia and Gastroparesis at the age of 13 that affected her nervous system, causing her to faint and not being able to eat properly. Prior to the diagnosis, she had gotten very ill but she slowly recovered, however with limitations. Through medications she is managing to control the symptoms as there is no known cure. Making macaroons has been her getaway and offered her a distraction, a way to deal with the disease and symptoms. “I have always enjoyed baking and this is one way I can keep some normalcy in my life. The macaroons are very time consuming but I love the final product. In the beginning I had quite a few flops but over the years I have perfected the recipe,” said Kidder. Kidder began doing trade shows marketing her products under her business name Fainting Goat Macaron

and received a positive response. She moved on to marketing online through Instagram and now incorporates custom orders for any occasion, including monthly themed boxes of macaroons. Kidder is currently taking her Grade 12 courses online as it is impossible for her to attend school due to COVID-19. She has plans on graduating with her Preeceville classmates. After graduation she plans on going to University to take her undergrad in Bio Medicine Sciences and afterwards she wants to become a pediatric anesthesiologist. ““I want to give back to the system that has helped me and I knew at an early age that I wanted to be involved in the medical field with both my parents currently working in the field. My mom is a nurse and my dad a paramedic, and both have inspired me,” she said. Dysautonomia refers to a disorder of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) function that generally involves failure of the sympathetic or parasympathetic components of the ANS, but Dysautonomia involving excessive or overactive ANS actions also can occur, stated the website for disorders. Dysautonomia can be local, as in reflex sympathetic dystrophy, or gen-

eralized, as in pure autonomic failure. It can be acute and reversible, as in Guillain-Barre syndrome, or chronic and progressive. Several common conditions such as diabetes and alcoholism can include Dysautonomia. Dysautonomia also can occur as a primary condition or in association with degenerative neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s

disease. Other diseases with generalized, primary Dysautonomia include: multiple system atrophy and familial Dysautonomia. Hallmarks of generalized Dysautonomia due to sympathetic failure are impotence (in men) and a fall in blood pressure during standing (orthostatic hypotension). Excessive sympathetic activity can present as hypertension or a rapid pulse rate.

Game gift ideas for couples and new gamers When you are a couple, the quiet years before adding children to the household, or that blissful time when children have grown and are their own, you might actually have time to play a board game with your partner. So come the holiday season a game you buy jointly can be a really good gift to enjoy for years to come. But, what are a few of the better games ideal for couples? Well, here are five recommendations to consider. To start, do not overlook the classic Backgammon. The game is thousands of years old, and that it has lasted through time is testament to it offering something special. The game mechanic at play is to roll dice and move pieces in order to be the first player to clear your stones off the board. While there is skill involved, knowing which pieces to move and when to move them, but dice rolling is a great equalizer and that can be important to keep a couple happy. King’s Cribbage is another great game, one that has edged ahead of cribbage for us, and that is saying something as cribbage has been one of the greatest games in the collection for decades. A nice cribbage board and a deck of cards is excellent for a couple too. With King’s Cribbage the best aspects of cribbage are combined with elements of Scrabble to create a fast-paced game which allows for some big score swings. You can be down 30 points and not fret, at least through the first half of the game and there are opportunities to get that back, even on a single turn. Just get the points before the board gets too crowded as big points are harder to get as that happens. The game plays four too, which is a bonus. Several years ago I happened upon a copy of Quixo released by Gigamic in 1995 from designer Thierry Chapeau. At the time it wasn’t a game I knew much about but the box top showed it was a game using chunky wooden pieces, which always piques my interest. There is something about wooden games that for me hearkens back to an early time, a time before even I was born, when artisans would have crafted games, not some plastic injection machine, and that effort of old intrigues me. So for a few bucks I grabbed Quixo, and found it a simple, but fun, five-in-a-row offering where two players are moving those chucky wooden blocks into pos-

ition to win what is at its heart, a game of Xs and Os. The board for Quixo is plastic, but overall the game looks great and is usually left out on the coffee table because it is an abstract strategy game I can get my better half to play. And for some fun over a coffee with your partner Quixo is hard to beat. Qwirkle is a greatlooking game based on getting colourful shapes into rows on a grid to score points. The game is simple to learn, and since you pull pieces out of a bag, luck balances skill nicely. The game looks nice on the table. The pieces are big and chunky to move around. The game can play with three and four too. And a final suggestion is Kluster. Kluster is about placing as many of your pieces – which are magnets – as you can within a defined area before they snap together with other pieces – that are then collected to your hand. You want to be the first play with no pieces left to place. The game is fiendishly simple. It takes a steady hand, and even then it can be a wonderfully frustrating experience. The game is compact, great for some fun at the coffee shop, or when on the road. A great couple’s offering. If you are looking for Santa to help you start a board game horde, then Guilder Adam has a quintet of can’t miss games to put on your list. Dominion – I love Dominion it might be my favorite board game of them all. It is a must for any collection and a great intro to the hobby. Players take turn buying new cards and adding them to your deck, each new card makes your deck better and allows you to do more on your turn. Each game is always a little different because the supply of cards to buy changes with each game. This mechanic I think is what really makes Dominion great, because it requires you to change your tactics and try new things based on the cards available. No board game collection is complete without a copy of this one on the shelf. Pandemic – I know in 2021 the word pandemic might cause a long exhausted sigh. However, the game pandemic is a great co-op that can be played with friends as you try to stop the spread of infectious diseases. Like most co-op games you will lose more than you win, but you will always want to play one more to end on a win. If

THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com the theme of trying to stop a pandemic is something that doesn’t appeal to you right now, consider the world we live in. There are a few reskins of the game that

change the theme such as Pandemic Rising Tides which is a great game too. Carcassonne – Is a tile laying game where players take turns, you

guessed it laying tiles to create a landscape. It is easy to teach and even easier to play, and one of the first games I introduce new players to. Each turn players lay a tile on a part of the board that has a matching tile, they can also if they choose a meeple to place on the board with hopes it will lead to points. This game is fun, simple and addictive, there is nothing better than pulling the perfect tile that will finally complete

the mega city you have been working on for the whole game and scoring all those points. I think Carcassonne might be the first boardgame I played years ago that started my love of boardgames. It is a great game whether you are a seasoned board gamer or just getting into the hobby. New York 1901 – In New York 1901 you are tasked with building sky scrapers in the New York skyline.

Norquay’s Santa Day brings treats, sleigh rides, and fireworks Courtesy of Kamsack Times It was a clear and frosty Saturday when the Highway 49 Chamber of Commerce hosted “Santa Day” in Norquay on December 4. Organizers were thrilled that Santa was able to make a stop at Bell Park between the hours of 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. With his signature rosy cheeks and a twinkle in his eye, the jolly man told this Kamsack Times reporter that he was very happy to see the children of Norquay – saying they were all on his “nice” list. After listening to each child’s gift request, Santa wondered if recent supply chain issues might represent a challenge in finding some of those special gifts. However, the more he thought about it, he remembered that Canadian children were known to be very polite and they would surely understand his predicament. Once each child had a turn chatting with Santa, a group of local volunteers in long, striped elf

caps handed each child a bag full of sweet treats and a list featuring a local scavenger hunt. Once the hunt was completed, the children headed to MLJ Accounting from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. where they were treated to hot dogs and hot chocolate, and invited to enter their names in a special prize draw. Meanwhile, out on Main Street, the sound of jingle bells could be heard in the distance. As the sound grew louder, residents watched in anticipation to see what could be making the noise. Suddenly, a pair of large black horses dressed in bells came striding up the street. Behind them, they were pulling a wagon. The driver invited all of the families of Norquay to hop into the wagon and take a ride around town. Many families huddled together until the wagon was full, and those who couldn’t fit, waited for the next round. Eventually, everyone had a turn on the wintery wagon rides that circled through town between

Among the many popular attractions at Santa Day in Norquay was a winter wonderland wagon ride through town. Those enjoying the ride said the smell of snow in the air and the sound of jingle bells on the horses made the experience even more magical. the hours of 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. During this time, the shops in Norquay were buzzing with the excitement of holiday shopping. Many businesses had Santa Day specials and a number of residents were happy to be shopping local to support the small business

GAME Continued from Page 7 drafting cards that allow you to build in certain locations on the map. The map itself almost has a Tetris feel to it, where you try to make every building fit neatly in the spaces. What makes this game fun is the building of the sky scrapers, do I build here because it fits perfectly with what I’ve done or do I build over there and stop my opponent from owning an entire city block. It is simple, fun and just enough conflict with other players that your decisions have impact on the whole game. Photosynthesis – It’s a beautiful

game where players try to grow trees in a forest. The trees themselves are beautifully colored cardboard cutouts of trees, which as your trees grow you swap out for even taller trees. Trees grow in the game in relation to where the sun is on the board, during the game the sun rotates causing trees to grow or not. The taller the tree the bigger it shadows which means any small tree in its shadow doesn’t get the sunlight it needs to grow. Photosynthesis is a fun, easy game to pick and learn and is a must game for any boardgame collection.

owners. It was just after 6 p.m. when fireworks exploded in the cold night sky. The Kamsack Times learned that the firework display was sponsored by Brice Dahlin at Dahlin PowerSports as well as some other Highway 49 Chamber of Commerce member sponsors. After a full day of treats and adventures, local families huddled to watch the bursting fireworks with big smiles and hearts filled with Christmas magic.

The children of Norquay were delighted to walk through the twinkling path that led to a personal visit with Santa Claus at Bell Park on Main Street.

Canora Cobras win big, lose tight one in weekend games Courtesy of Canora Courier The Canora Cobras came up with an impressive win and then dropped a close game the following night for their first loss of the season in Sask East Hockey League weekend action at the Canora Civic Centre on December 10 and 11. The Ituna Avalanche paid a second visit to Canora this season, and once again, the Cobras were not exactly hospitable to their visitors, skating away with a 12 to 3 win.

The scoring started early in this one, as Ryley Stefanyshyn and Darcy Sliva, both of Canora, found the net before the five-minute mark of the first period. Three more goals later in the frame had the Cobras up by 5 to 0 heading into the first intermission. Canora outscored Ituna 7 to 3 over the last two periods. Brennan Watson of Kamsack led the way on offence, with a had trick and an assist for the Cobras. Kyle Yaremchuk, Donnie St. Marie and Aaron Yaremchuk each contributed a goal and two assists, while Kody

Other Canora goals were by Matt Wilgosh and Vaughn Wilgosh, both of Canora, Brandon Pelletier of Kamsack and Cole Rathgeber, in addition to Stefanyshyn and Sliva. The first period was penalty-free, but that didn’t last very long. A total of 15 penalties were assessed in the final 40 minutes, including 10 to the Cobras. Coach Terry Dennis said the Cobras played a strong all-around game against Ituna. “After we built an 8 to 0 lead the game got a lit-

tle rough, but I was happy with the way the team stuck up for each other. We had strong games from Brennan Watson and Donnie St Marie.” The following night on December 11, the Cobras faced a stiff test against the visiting Rocanville Tigers and came out on the short end of a wellplayed 4 to 2 game. The Tigers opened the scoring with a power play goal midway through the first period, but Kody Rock of Canora replied with a power play goal of his own a few minutes later. Another power play goal by Rocanville later in the period gave the Tigers a 2 to 1 lead heading into the first intermission. The second period was scoreless, as Cobras goalie Rylan Palchewich kept the score close with 15 saves, many of them of the difficult variety. The second goal of the game by Stephane Robidoux of the Tigers midway through the third period gave Rocanville a 3 to 1 lead, and turned out to be the game winner. Tanner Kopeck of the Cobras cut the lead to 3 to 2 several minutes later, but shortly thereafter, Robidoux completed the hat trick to close out the scoring. With just under three minutes to play, Ryan Regel of the Tigers was

Coach Dennis said it was a challenging game for the Cobras. “We started out slow, not used to playing a faster pace skilled team. We picked up our game after the 10-minute mark and played back and forth in a well played, exciting game,” reported Dennis. “We had strong

The Yorkton Maulers hosted Estevan for two games.

Bears maul Maulers in pair of contests By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Estevan Bears were in Yorkton for a pair of Saskatchewan U18 Male Hockey League games against the host Yorkton Maulers. Friday saw the teams play a scoreless first period at the Westland Insurance Arena. Cole Keen gave the Bears a

lead 4:37 into the second frame only to have Cade Kennedy tie the game on an unassisted effort 1:19 later. The 1-1 tie held until the third period where Estevan added three unanswered goals by Kole Keen, Daniel Ganert on the powerplay and Levi Herauf into an empty net to secure a 4-1 win. Jackson Miller was in

net for the Bruins facing 33-shots for the win, while John MacPherson also faced 33-shots in the loss for Yorkton. The teams met again Saturday, and after a 15-minute delay waiting for officials the host Maulers had a good first period with Dylan Schoenroth scoring at 12:56 and Dryden Jeannot at 13:16 while holding the Bears scoreless.

In the second period Daniel Ganert put Estevan in the board with a goal at 10:46. It took only 1:47 into the third period for Cade Kennedy to extend the Mauler lead to 3-1 with an unassisted effort. Bears Carson Birnie scored at 6:26 of the third to cut into the Yorkton lead making it 3-2. Cade Cole then added the goal to knot the score 3-3 at

7:24. Then, with 3:06 left on the clock the Bears took the lead on a goal by Caden Drury. With 1:07 left Tucker Buhay solidified the lead for Bruins making it 5-3, to take the second win in as many days from the Maulers. Kaden Perron was in net for Estevan, with MacPherson again in the Mauler net.

Grandstand support The Yorkton Lions Club has donated $10,000 to the Yorkton Exhibition Association (YEA). The YEA has been raising funds for the project for more than a year in order to replace the structure. The work was carried out over the early months of 2021, and the grandstand was open for events this summer including chuckwagon and chariot races, and tractor and truck pulls. The presentation was made by Lions members to YEA manager Barb Woytas at the Gallagher Centre recently. Submitted Photo

Plans for youth production in works By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The idea of a community youth presentation of the seasonal favourite ‘The Nutcracker’ was brought to the regular meeting of Yorkton Council Dec. 6. “Children from Yorkton and the surrounding area will be invited to audition to participate in this inclusive production,” detailed material circulated to Council from the ladies behind the idea Tammy Kostersky and Carrie Pengilly. “Our hope is to cast as many eligible performers as possible with recognition that there is a minimum participation number of performers that must be met to move forward. Rehearsals will begin in August and will be held at both the Dance Innovations and Free My Muse locations.” However, such a production would have costs, and that is where they hoped the City would step in. While noting the numbers were estimates at this time, they suggested they would need $22,000 to put on the performance, and they hoped the City would cover the costs, with the option to recoup the dollars from ticket sales, or to potentially take ticket revenues and donate those to a good cause – in particular Creative Kids. “With the support of the City of Yorkton, the cost for children to participate would be minimized, easing the financial burden on parents,” noted the presentation. Pengilly told Council that there is a need in terms of art opportunities for youth in the city. “The need for arts and culture for our children is always great,” she said. Pengilly also noted the last two years with

COVID has hit everyone but especially children and their activities. “Two years in a life of a child feels much heavier,” she said. The material delved into the impact of the pandemic in greater detail. “The City of Yorkton has a strong history of culture, pride and resilience. We are at a time in our city where opportunities for celebrational gatherings have shifted and changed into something that none of us expected or planned. We all hold our community dear to our hearts and have witnessed the emotional impact that the last year and a half has had on everyone. This includes performers, audience members and families in our community. It is time to kick start efforts to re-create what was. We want to work with the city to share an event and experience. It can be headed by our community’s leaders alongside our talented artists…to bring everyone together, safely and with a common objective. Enjoying live theatre again – embracing our culture through the arts and experiencing collectively what has been missing.” “The ‘Nutcracker’ set for December of 2022 allows our community time to heal, regroup and recalibrate within changes that may still be what is normal. It gives our community something to look towards, connecting the ages with an openhearted and emotionally valuable project. It’s an opportunity to forget and to remember and to create new memories and to build or even restructure bridges between our community and the arts. Connecting our businesses, organizations and city leaders through a new

festive tradition, alongside the familiarity of Tchaikowsky, within the warmth and connectedness of our beloved Anne Portnuff Theatre will provide an outlet for performers, audience members and a children’s charity whose focus is arts education for children.” In terms of the potential to also support an organization dedicated to arts and youth it was noted Creative Kids is a charity supported by Saskculture that gives them the chance to express themselves. This program removes or reduces financial barriers to arts and cultural activities for Saskatchewan kids ages 4 to 19 to help enable them participate in art, drama, music, dance and other cultural activities. To date, they have granted over $4.5 million and helped more than 9,800 kids in more than 230 communities across Saskatchewan explore their creative dreams through inclusion in arts and culture activities. Council sent the request to upcoming 2022 budget deliberations.

Government of Sask officially launches the ‘Take a Break’ campaign The Government of Saskatchewan is encouraging children and teens to “Take A Break” from social media and screen time in a new public awareness campaign to promote mental and physical well-being. “I am pleased to see the launch of the ‘Take a Break’ campaign,” Education Minister Dustin Duncan said. “Through this campaign, we want to remind children, teens and adults alike that it’s important from time to time to take a step away from their screens and find a healthy lifestyle balance.” According to the Canadian Pediatric Society (2019), 75 per cent of parents are concerned with how much time their children are spending on social media and state that 36 per cent of their 10- to 13-year-olds are on devices for more than three hours per day. Another study in Ontario (Canadian Medical Association Journal) found that there is a seven per cent increase today in adolescents who are on screens more than five hours per day compared to 2013 - 2017. Additional research shows that excessive screen time can negatively impact mental health, healthy sleep habits, self-esteem and result in lost connections of quality time with friends and family. The “Take a Break” campaign will help edu-

cate parents, caregivers, children, teens and the community about the importance of purposeful and healthy use of digital technology, recognizing the signs of too much screen time and choosing healthy alternatives to using digital technology. Beginning today, parents, caregivers, children and teens can access the “Take A Break” website to learn more about the warning signs of too much screen time, how this impacts children and teens, tips on alternatives to screen time and how to create a healthy balance. Additional tips, videos and information will be added over time. Ads will also be appearing on a variety of popular social media channels and in local newspapers to remind the public to take a break to avoid the negative impacts excessive screen time can have on children and teens. Join the conversation and share how you and your family are taking a break from screen time with our hashtag #TakeABreakSK. By following #TakeABreakSK, you can also see what others are doing as healthy alternatives to screen time. More information on the “Take a Break” campaign as well as tips for children and teens and information for parents and caregivers can be found at saskatchewan. ca/TakeaBreak.
