More than 5,000 drivers ticketed for speeding in March Last month SGI reminded drivers to turn to the movies to satisfy their need for speed – but some still tried to turn public roads into their own personal action movie set. Saskatchewan law enforcement focused on speeding in March as part of the Traffic Safety Spotlight – issuing 5,023 tickets related to speeding and aggressive driving. That number included: • 285 tickets for speeding in a school zone; • 220 tickets for exceeding 60 km/h while passing an emergency vehicle that is stopped with its lights activated; • 96 tickets for exceed-

ing 60 km/h while passing a work zone or highway equipment with lights flashing; • 190 tickets for exceeding the speed limit by more than 35 km/h; • 25 tickets for exceeding the speed limit by more than 50 km/h (which also results in a sevenday vehicle impoundment); • 14 tickets for racing (which also results in a 30-day impoundment). With nicer weather around the corner (hopefully), our roads will be busier with pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. Obeying speed limits will help you and everyone you share the road with arrive at your destinations safely.

Other results from the March Traffic Safety Spotlight include: • 285 tickets for seatbelts and child restraints

being used incorrectly or not at all; • 434 distracted driving tickets (including 363 for cellphone use);

• 358 impaired driving offences (including 258 Criminal Code charges) April’s Traffic Safety Spotlight is on suspended

drivers and unregistered vehicles. Check out SGI’s social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram)

Protection from Human Trafficking Act now in effect By John Cairns, SASKTODAY.ca

REGINA The Saskatchewan government has announced that The Protection from Human Trafficking Act has come into effect as of April 20. In the legislature on Monday, Prince Albert Northcote MLA Alana Ross announced the Act had come into force. “Human trafficking is a horrific crime that has been growing at an alarming rate across Canada,” said Ross. “Reports from women of attempted trafficking have increased in major centres like Saskatoon, Prince Albert, and Regina.

While law enforcement focus on preventing these trafficking attempts in Saskatchewan, many survivors still need support for protection and justice. That is why this government’s new legislation takes a victim centred approach.” According to the province, the Act provides further safeguards for victims and survivors of human trafficking. Among the provisions included is one where law enforcement can seek search warrants for residences or vehicles so they can locate and remove victims from the premises, for safety reasons. According to the province there are also

penalties on traffickers such as fines, driver’s license suspensions and jail time, meant to to discourage violations of these orders. Victims can launch lawsuits against human traffickers and seek financial compensation for harm suffered.

There are new protections for victims, such as a streamlined process for victims to seek a protection order, and new provisions for protection orders including one that prohibits traffickers from contacting their victims in any way. There is also a provision where victims can apply for a protection order on their own or be assisted by a shelter employee, a medical professional or another prescribed individual.

There were several large weather events over the past winter which resulted in a large numbers of road closures. When bad weather hits, Hotline staff work around the clock to ensure the information drivers receive is accurate and up to date. So far this April, the Hotline has had approximately 1,200,000 page views with the majority (935,000) of the hits during the storm last week. The Hotline also provides valuable information on seasonal weights to the trucking industry. During winter, truckers can carry additional weight without damaging roads that are frozen. In the spring, weights are reduced to protect our highway network. “I’d like to thank the dedicated staff at the Highway Hotline for providing this vital service to the people of Saskatchewan,” Bradshaw said. “Many people rely on this service to help them make their travel decisions.

Saskatoon bishop appreciates Pope’s apology By Jon Perez SaskToday

pontiff where survivors of Catholic-run residential schools shared stories of abuse and suffering they experienced.

SASKATOON — Bishop Mark Hagemoen joined the Catholic community in the Diocese of Saskatoon in appreciating the apology made by Pope Francis during his final audience with the Canadian delegation of Indigenous people on Friday, April 1, at the Vatican. “I join with all of you in expressing appreciation and thanksgiving for the apology by Pope Francis earlier today at the Vatican for the Catholic Church’s role in what is known as the Indian Residential School System,” said Hagemoen in a letter sent to Catholics under his stewardship. Representatives from the Assembly of First Nations, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and the Métis National Council had separate meetings with the 85-year-old

Pope Francis delivered his final message where he shared that he felt indignation and shame after hearing stories firsthand from the handful of residential school survivors, adding that unsolved problems keep coming back if one is not committed to learning from past mistakes. “I also feel shame. I have said this to you and now I say it again. I feel shame – sorrow and shame – for the role that several Catholics, particularly those with educational responsibilities, have had in all these things that wounded you, in the abuses you suffered and in the lack of respect shown for your identity, your culture and even your spiritual values. All these things are contrary to the Gospel of Jesus Christ,”

Pope Francis said. “For the deplorable conduct of those members of the Catholic Church, I ask for God’s forgiveness and I want to say to you with all my heart: I am very sorry. And I join my brothers, the Canadian bishops, in asking your pardon. The content of the faith cannot be transmitted in a way contrary to the faith itself: Jesus taught us to welcome, love, serve and not judge; it is a frightening thing when, precisely in the name of the faith, counter-witness is rendered to the gospel.” Hagemoen said Indigenous and nonIndigenous alike should reflect on the words said by the Pope on the journey towards healing and reconciliation. “I leave to each of you to your reactions and impressions of the Holy Father’s words earlier today. However, I am hearing from many people – Indigenous and non-Indigenous – that

the Holy Father’s words and sentiments are heartfelt and provide much food for thought and reflection as we continue the long journey of careful and respectful hearing of stories from Indigenous peoples that marks the path towards healing,” said Hagemoen. “There is still a great journey ahead. However, it is a time to give thanks to God that we have reached this important benchmark.” He then encouraged the Catholic faithful in the Diocese to continue the prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe: “That we who live in this land, Indigenous and non-Indigenous together, may experience healing and reconciliation, on a renewed journey for justice and peace for our children.” Pope Francis is also expected to visit Canada this year where he is expected to issue an apology once again.

Province and Office of the Treaty Commissioner announce design of first-in-Canada Treaty boundary signage The Government of Saskatchewan and Office of the Treaty Commissioner are coordinating official Treaty boundary signage in the province. The first signs marking the boundary between Treaty 4 and Treaty 6 Territory will be located along Highway 11 between Regina and Saskatoon in the Bladworth/Davidson area.

“We are proud to be the first province in Canada to officially mark treaty boundaries along major highways, working in partnership with the Office of the Treaty Commissioner to recognize the treaties.” Minister Responsible for First Nations, Métis and Northern Affairs Don McMorris said. “The boundary signage is an additional resource to

remain valid “as long as the sun shines, grass grows and rivers flow.” The design also features a welcome in the respective Indigenous languages of each Treaty area. This aligns with the province’s efforts to recognize, acknowledge and revitalize Indigenous languages. “A sign seems like such a small thing, but it represents something significant. Think about the number of Treaties that cross through

where the province of Saskatchewan now lies. Our highways cross these territories and that has to be recognized and acknowledged,” Treaty Commissioner Mary Culbertson said. “It is so important to see this project underway, we are starting with one sign, but hope to see this for all our Treaty boundaries.”

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways is coordinating the production and installation of the signs, with a public unveiling and ceremony planned for later in 2022. This will make Saskatchewan the first province in Canada to mark Treaty boundaries along major provincial highways.

EDITORIAL Rattlers add big center to 2022 roster Basketball fans in Saskatchewan should soon be turning their attention to the Saskatchewan Rattlers. The Canadian Elite Basketball League franchise begin its 2022 CEBL season May 25, at SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon, and leading up to the launch of the franchise’s fourth season the Rattlers have been busy signing talent. The Rattlers recently announced they had signed Canadian center Jordy Tshimanga. Tshimanga finished his college career in the NCAA playing for Nebraska and Dayton University. He most recently played in the NBA G League averaging 6.4 points and 6.1 rebounds in 42 professional games in the 202122 season. He has played four games with the Cleveland Charge, and finished the season with the Iowa Wolves alongside Rattlers teammate, Malik Benlevi. That’s a pretty good recent resume for a Canadian talent who is listed one-inch shy of being seven feet tall, at a position where height is always an asset. Tshimanga said he’s just looking forward to the opportunity of playing on home country soil

this summer. “It’s the first time as a Canadian I get the opportunity to play at home,” he told Yorkton This Week. Tshimanga admitted initially he didn’t know a great deal about the CEBL, but when he did some investigating liked what he found. “When I looked into it, definitely . . . I got feedback from players who played in the league,” he said, adding the word was “it was a good opportunity to go back and play in my home country.” The signing might surprise some, as Tshimanga hails from Montreal and the Alliance are an expansion team in that city which is signing a lot of players from their home city, but the Rattlers might have had an inside ace in getting the big centre – that being forward Benlevi having signed with the Rattlers earlier. “I was talking to a couple of teams,” said Tshimanga, adding when he learned Benlevi was heading to Saskatchewan it made his final decision easy. “I knew where I was headed.” Having Benlevi on the Rattlers should create some immediate chemistry with Tshimanga

Sports as the two have played together in college. “We’ve already got that going,” said Tshimanga. According to a Rattler press release, “prior to his time in the NCAA, Tshimanga played for MacDuffie High School in Granby, Massachusetts for three seasons. In his senior year (2015-16), he averaged 18.3 points, 14.0 rebounds, and 3.1 blocks per game which earned him offers from 14 different NCAA Division 1 programs, while being ranked third-best prospect in the state of Massachusetts by ESPN. com “Tshimanga accepted an offer from Nebraska (2016-17), beginning his collegiate career with 5.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 12.5 minutes in 31 games and earning the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award. “As a sophomore (2017-18), Tshimanga averaged 4.0 points, 4.6

rebounds, and 13.6 minutes in 31 games. “In the 2018-19 season, he transferred to Dayton University. During his senior year, Tshimanga averaged 6.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 22.0 minutes in 23 games. He was named 2021 Atlantic 10 All-Academic Team, University of Dayton’s John L. Macbeth Memorial Scholar Athletic Award, and co-winner of Steve McElvene Best Defender on the team. During his senior year, Tshimanga was fifth in the NCAA Atlantic 10 for rebounding per game.” Starting his professional career, Tshimanga entered the NBA G League in 2021 with Cleveland Charge where he played four games averaging 3.5 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 12.5 minutes in 2021. Cleveland Charge traded Tshimanga to the Iowa

Wolves. He finished the 2021-22 season with the Iowa averaging 6.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 17.3 minutes in 38 games. During this season, he grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds on January 16th and a career-high 4 blocks on March 23rd. He helped secure the Wolves in top 5 rebounding totals in the league, with a team-high 186 total rebounds. “Jordy was a top target for us from the outset when putting our roster together.” said Rattlers Assistant Coach Tanner Massey in the release. “He is a tough, physical big who imposes his will inside and can finish with either hand. Jordy proved to be one of the best rebounders in the

Cote Health hosts ‘paint night’ with artist Dustin Wilson Courtesy of Kamsack Times On Tuesday, April 19, eleven people attended a “paint night” event hosted by Cote Health.

G League this season as well. He will be a force for us on both sides of the ball.” So what is Tshimanga expecting with the Rattlers? At this point it’s wait and see, having only touched base with his new coaches via phone. “We’ve spoken briefly when I was getting to know the team,” he said. Certainly fans will be looking for a better year given the Rattlers struggled in 2021 with only one win in 14 games, but Tshimanga said he won’t be feeling any added pressure due to the dismal record. “Every season, every year, each and every day is different,” he said, adding he can’t feel pressure for how the team did when he wasn’t even on the roster. “It’s new group of guys, new coaches, we just all have to come together,” he said. “. . . I just want to get over there and meet everybody and get going.”

COTE HEALTH Continued from Page 4 step, budding artists are encouraged to add their own creative touches to make their painting stand out from the others. “These classes are definitely suitable for all levels for painters,” said Wilson. “I begin by teaching the basic techniques, and then I encourage stu-

dents to use their own creativity to ultimately create something they love themselves.” Wilson said he has offered paint night workshops to participants from as young as five up to 75 – with each and every one of them leaving with a final piece to be very proud of.

“To me, painting is an expression of one’s character and a chance to express yourself without repercussion. Anyone can paint if they are willing to make some sort of an effort. But another great reason to come paint is that you get an opportunity to just leave all the outside stress and

Pirates on the prowl for treasure There are games that you get to play which you wouldn’t automatically pick off a store shelf. The Last Bottle of Rum by designer Quentin Vernet and publisher Lord Raccoon Games is one such game. Theme wise it suits our little group nicely. The Last Bottle of Rum is a pirate board game for two-to-five players, where you play as a pirate looking to trade its treasures for the very last bottle of rum of the archipelago. While pirates is an auto-draw for us, the game, released only last year, had not been on our watch list, but once a copy hit the table, we found a game that had its charms. To begin with, the artwork of Baptiste Michard is great. The character boards depicting the various pirates in the game are particularly brightly illustrated and the characters having lots of whimsical character. The characters are the first indication the

THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com game is one, despite rum being in the name, skews toward family entertainment, with the game rated 10-plus. Jumping ahead a bit, the game would be higher on a list for a family with children in the nine-13 age range. In the game a number of hexagon tiles are laid out face down. Not every tile is used in every game, and the random layout, gives the game some freshness in terms of replayability. Players take turns moving their tiny wooden pirate ships around the board, flipping hidden tiles as you ‘sail’ onto them, and collecting treasure, facing danger,

or simply finding open water to traverse. Adding to the game players draw cards which can influence affairs when played. Ships may also be damaged, and depending what damage they taken it might reduce movement, or the amount of treasure which can be carried, or impact the ability to shoot your cannons. There is some playerto-player interaction; shooting of cannons or stealing treasure, but it’s quite limited, so no hard feeling for in-game actions. The game plays two-tofive, which is nicely ver-

satile. However, like many games, when you have limited ability to impact others, if a player gets ahead, the others are forced to focus as much attention as possible on the person in the lead to impede their progress. They can feel a bit ‘hunted’ although they are likely to sail to the win anyway. The one issue here is a

rulebook that is a bit out of sync. You don’t always find what you seek in the spot you expect, such as the goal of the game being deep into the book. Other in-game issues – can I dump a smaller treasure to keep a better one just found – simply aren’t there. We as rather veteran gamers, houserule things rather quickly, but as a family game you want everything

answered as succinctly as possible. In the end, this game is among dozens we’d play if someone put it on the table, although we might not pick it off the shelf ourselves. That said, it should be reiterated, as a family game, this one would rate higher. You can check out The Last Bootle of Rum at www.mjgames.ca

MLA leads trip to Germany to help Ukrainian refugees Courtesy of Preeceville Progress Ever since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, Canora-Pelly MLA Terry Dennis has been looking for ways to help Ukrainian refugees in his position at Saskatchewan Secretary for Ukrainian Relations. With that in mind, Dennis led a team which spent four days on a learning trip in Berlin from April 9 to 13, to see first-hand how the capital city of Germany was dealing with the influx of refugees. “At the time we were there they had over 320,000 Ukrainian refugees in Germany,” said Dennis. “We wanted to meet with the Canadian embassy and also talk directly to the displaced people to see what Saskatchewan government and its employees could do to help in areas such as visas, photos and various paperwork.” The Dennis team toured a Ukrainian refugee camp housed in the old Berlin Airport building and discovered that the needs of the Ukrainian refugees are many and varied; including food, medical supplies and access to doctors, sleeping bags, housing, employment, bulletproof vests for soldiers, and the list goes on. They are also looking to assist people remaining in the Ukraine who are in desperate need of help. Dennis is part of SURAC, the Saskatchewan Ukrainian

Relations Advisory Committee, which is meeting weekly to meet some of these needs. One of their initiatives is the Sask-Ukraine TK-500 project, which is fundraising to provide fully stocked field trauma kits to communities across the Ukraine to get medical supplies to people who need help the most. Dennis said one of the saddest stories they heard while in Berlin came from Natalia Makogon, a former assistant manager of the Kyiv Metro underground train. She shared how, in the off hours when the train isn’t running, anywhere from 4,000 to 20,000 people at a time have been using the train station as a bomb shelter since the Russian invasion. “We left government workers at the Canadian embassy in Berlin to help the Ukrainian refugees with their paperwork and translation, to make sure it’s done properly,” explained Dennis. “The majority of the refugees are seniors and women with young children.”

tion for them,” reported Dennis. “But since then, they have dealt with the problem through heightened security. They have also had to help the refugees in areas such as: what school to go to, health care, day care, teaching English to refugees, housing and employment.” Refugees have begun arriving in Saskatchewan, but so far most of those have been privately sponsored by family and/or friends. “There haven’t been any government flights booked yet, but we’re hoping to change that soon.” Dennis said there has been an amazing response around the Canora-Pelly constituency from residents who want to help Ukrainian refugees in whatever way they can. “We just had a call from a lady who wants to set up a fundraising effort in communities across the region,” said Dennis. “People are

In his position as Saskatchewan Secretary for Ukrainian Relations, Canora-Pelly MLA Terry Dennis led a team on a trip to Berlin from April 9 to 13 regarding the Ukrainian refugee situation in Germany, with the hope of bringing refugees to Saskatchewan in the near future. really stepping up, offering jobs, housing, all sorts of things that will be needed.” The Government of Saskatchewan, in partnership with the Ukrainian Canadian Congress of Saskatchewan, has invested $335,000 to

Dennis said an important goal of the trip was to find out what worked for Berlin, and what they have learned along the way. “In the early days of the refugees coming in, Berlin had significant issues with the exploitation of the refugees, especially women and young children. It’s an overwhelming situa-

We hope to get many of them out of there and get them to Canada quicker, and hopefully to Saskatchewan,” concluded Dennis.

RENO Must-have accessories for your home Decorating with accessories is a great way to quickly and affordably enhance the look of your home. Here are a few suggestions. 1. Rugs come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours and textures. To create the perfect look, make sure you choose a floor covering that matches the style of your home 2. Plants can instantly make your space feel bright and lively. If you decide to purchase real plants instead of artificial ones, make sure your home has plenty of light.

3. Textiles like duvet covers, table linens, chair cushions and throws can add colour and texture to your home. Look for beautiful designs that express your personal sense of style. 4. Wall hangings like picture frames, clocks and paintings come in a variety of sizes and styles. However, make sure you don’t overcrowd your walls. You can also install shelving to display your decorative items. To find unique pieces, visit your local home decor stores.

Tips for lighting a room The right lighting can enhance the style and functionality of a room. If you want to update a space in your home, here are four tips for choosing the right lighting. 1. COMPLEMENT THE EXISTING STYLE First and foremost, you should choose light fixtures that match the style of the room. For example, recessed lighting and pendant

lights are great for modern and contemporary homes. 2. ANALYZE THE ROOM It’s important to think about how you use the room. You should also take into account the furniture arrangement and amount of natural light to determine if the space needs bright, general or directional lighting.

3. USE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LIGHTS Every room should have a variety of light sources. It’s a good idea to have one main light source like a ceiling light, a secondary light source like a table lamp and a decorative lighting feature like string lights. 4. CHOOSE THE RIGHT LIGHT BULBS Choose warm, neutral or cool lighting to put the finishing touches on your space. If you want to be able to vary the intensity of the light, install a dimmer switch. Lastly, don’t hesitate to ask a lighting specialist for advice or hire an interior decorator to help brighten your space.

What you should do before buying new furniture Do you want to refresh a room in your home? If so, consider buying new furniture. Here are a few tips for choosing the right pieces for your space. PREPARE

Your local one-stop building shop

Start by choosing a style of furniture like Scandinavian, contemporary or farmhouse. Then, pick out upholstery and other features that complement the room. Finally, set a budget to narrow down your options. CONFIGURE To ensure you choose furniture that’s the right size for your space, measure both the furniture and room. Use graph paper to draw the room, and then cut out scale models of the furniture to test out different configurations. Alternatively, you can purchase an interior design app or software to create a three-dimensional replica of your space, and use it to experiment with different layouts. If you need professional help to create the room of your dreams, look for an interior designer or decorator in your area.

RENO 4 ways to update your flooring Restoring or replacing flooring is a great way to refresh your home’s look. Here are four ways you can update your floors. 1. REFINISH IT If your floor looks a little worse for wear, refinishing it is an affordable solution. Depending on its condition, you may need to sand, varnish, stain or repair cracks to make the floor look new again. 2. PAINT IT You can paint over most types of flooring. For example, wood flooring is particularly easy to paint. Just make sure you choose a suitable product for the type of surface and level of traffic in the room. 3. REPLACE IT If your floor is beyond repair, replacing it may be your only option. However, make sure you choose a suitable floor type. For example, if you need to update your bathroom floor, choose a waterproof material like ceramic. Additionally, if you have pets, you may want to opt for a scratch-resistant flooring material like vinyl. 4. DECORATE IT If your floor is in good condition, simply adding a rug or two can instantly transform your space. Choose a rug that’s the right size, style and colour for the room. If you don’t have any experience repairing or installing flooring, hire a professional.

Questions to ask when choosing a window treatment Window treatments can add warmth and style to your home. However, before buying new curtains, drapes or blinds, you should ask yourself these three questions. 1. WHAT’S YOUR OBJECTIVE? Make sure you know

what purpose the window treatment will serve. For example, do you want it to be primarily stylish or functional? You should also determine if you want a look that’s contemporary or timeless. 2. WHAT’S YOUR BUDGET?

If you can afford it, consider hiring a professional designer or decorator to help you choose the right window treatment. If you have a tight budget, look for inspiration in decorating magazines and websites for reasonably priced options. 3. WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS? Make sure you measure your windows. This way the treatment you choose is sure to effectively block out light and provide the right level of privacy. Additionally, make certain your curtains, blinds or shades are the right length and won’t hang on the floor.

Painting and wallpapering Painting and wallpapering are two effective ways to transform the look of a room. Here’s some information to help you decide which products to use in your home. PAINT The finish of your paint is just as important as its colour. A matte finish is ideal for living rooms, bedrooms and ceilings. However, satin and gloss finishes are stain resistant and easy to clean, making them ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. It’s a good idea to take home several paint samples to see how each colour looks in the room. WALLPAPER Choose a wallpaper that’s suitable for your space. For example, if you’re remodelling your kitchen,

choose a wallpaper that’s durable and easy to clean. Moreover, make certain the pattern complements the space and will line up well when installed. Additionally, ensure each roll of wallpaper has the same batch number. PAINT AND WALLPAPER If you want to combine paint and wallpaper, stick to a maximum of three colours; select a dominant, secondary and accent colour. Additionally, you should choose paint and wallpaper that share a common hue. Make sure you base your colour scheme on a shade in the background or foreground of the wallpaper. For inspiration and personalized advice, visit your local shops.

Earth Day marked by recycling tour By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Earth Day was Friday and SaskAbilities in Yorkton highlighted the day with a facility tour. “For the last few years SaskAbilities has tried to organize something with Earth Day,” explained Regional Director Aleks Hoeber. Friday the event was twofold, beginning with interested people being bused to the recycling centre on Ball Road on a city transit bus. Hoeber said it was an effort to raise awareness of the bus service, and how it is environmentally wise to use the bus if possible. For example, at the morning tour nine people rode the bus, all of who might have drove their own cars burning fuel otherwise, she explained. There is a transit live app to help people with using the bus, which Hoeber explained actually shows just where Yorkton buses are at anytime they are operating. The second part of the event toured the centre where loads of residential and business garbage to be recycled are sorted. In 2021 the facility processed 2576 tonnes of material, the majority being cardboard, but also

including plastics, paper, glass and other items. Not all of the material that hits the recycling centre floor ends up being shipped for recycling as a lot of material does not fit with rather specific rules for recycling. For example, it was explained the ‘hardcover’ of books must be removed as they are not recyclable. So books with covers are diverted to the city landfill. Likewise, cardboard that has grease stains or gotten wet is lost, so no pizza boxes, and it’s important to get recycle bins that close to protect the contents from snow, or rain. Glass jars must be rinsed. The jars are best delivered to the centre or SARCAN directly to place into bins, because if they are in a huge load and break once they tumble onto the floor, they go to the landfill. In total 161.4 tonnes of material taken in ended up still flowing to the landfill. There is a long list of materials the centre will not accept including; light bulbs, waxed cardboard, styrofoam, stoneware, motor oil containers, plastics without the recycle symbol such

A crew at the recycling centre begin sorting through a load of material just delivered from Kamsack. as toys, drinking glasses, and nursery plant containers. Angele Proulx, process operator at the facility said two things people could do to help the process is to make sure containers are rinsed, and to make sure styrofoam and cellophane plastic is not put in recycling bags, and

to not include anything with food residues. If you are unsure if something should go to recycle then the recycle coach app can help. Hoeber noted that with the app you can type in a particular item, such as oil, and it will direct you to the location accepting used oil, including a map

to the spot. The same app allows people to log in their address and it will tell you what day is recycling pick-up, and what day garbage is picked up. If there are delays because of holidays those are also noted, said Hoeber. The recycling centre is part of a larger recyc-

ling effort in Yorkton with partners including Prairie Harvest Employment Program (PHEP), SARCAN and the City of Yorkton. Interestingly, it was noted from April 2021 through March of this year SARCAN in the city handled 11 million bottles and cans.

tered as of April 20. “We grew lots which is awesome.” So, why the increased numbers? Pflanzer said she believes the Crush program is simply becoming better known and attracting more interest as people learn about it. “There’s been a lot of word-of-mouth … We’re more out in the community,” she said, adding being a program specifically for girls is a draw too. “. . . It’s just that community of girls.” As a girl’s only project, Pflanzer said they stay rather focused on helping girls be better people, while learning about sport and teamwork. With numbers up by more than 50, the Crush program will have a dozen teams this year, ranging from U5, designed to get the youngest players just out on the diamond with parents, up to a combined U17/U19 teams. With the added teams, there has been a need for added support people too. Pflanzer said they have managed to recruit enough coaches to make it work, but added “it’s always a challenge.” “A bigger challenge is umpires,” she continued. The situation is such

that the Crush are offering incentives for anyone taking a clinic to train new umpires upcoming later this month. The registration deadline, through Softball Saskatchewan is April 26. Anyone completing the course, and umpiring at least four games for the Crush, they will reimburse the $70 course fee, said Pflanzer. As it stands, Pflanzer said they hope teams are on the diamonds at York Lake Regional Park by the beginning of May, if the weather co-operates, adding they have had some indoor sessions already knowing they wouldn’t be out as early as they wanted to be. Once they are in action the Crush teams will have plenty of regional competitions with programs now operating in Indian Head, Ituna, Melville, Esterhazy, Churchbridge, Langenburg and a new effort in Canora. Pflanzer said the growth of girl’s softball is reflected in the number of communities with teams. The Crush are also planning a skills camp for May 28, with the University of Regina team involved, said Pflanzer adding details of the camp are still being worked out.

Good response to show return By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer

After two years of cancellation due to the COVID19 pandemic the Yorkton 4-H Spring Steer and Heifer Show is back. “It’s good for the kids. They’re happy to be able to do what they love,” said Stacey Hunt of the Tisdale 4-H Beef Club, and a member of the event board. “They just want to show their animals, and be with the other kids.” The return of the spring show has certainly proved popular, with 22 clubs scheduled to participate. Hunt said it has helped that they have incorporated a grooming clinic into the three-day event, which has brought some extra 4-H members in. She said they recognized with basically two years passing since they were in a show ring with their cattle “the kids needed a good refresher.” As for the show, which will include grooming, showmanship, Jackpot show and open classes, the clubs have entered 130 steers and heifers, shown by 125 4-H members.

An event at Tail Winds Clydesdales introduced area 4-H members to the versatility of the breed.

Clydesdale traits promoted to area 4-H By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Clydesdale horses are best recognized as workhorses, a breed that helped with everything from ploughing to grain deliveries in the earliest days of Canada. But the big horses can be quite versatile, with the big horses making fine 4-H projects for youth.

Getting that message out was the reason for holding a ‘Clydes, Kids & 4-H Day’ at Tail Winds Clydesdales south of Yorkton. “What a success,” said Twylla Newton, owner at Tail Winds. “We had groups from Norquay, Disley, Hudson Bay and Melville.” In total about 40 4-H youth were involved. “All the 4-H members, and their families got to come and experience the Clydesdales,” said Newton.

“We discussed the horse’s characteristics, got to see a two-week old baby, tried riding and finished off with a wagon ride.” The event was sponsored by Tail Winds and the Saskatchewan Clydesdale Association, with the help of volunteers Twylla Newton, Lee-Anne Toma, Dwight Teal and Shelby Newton. A Saturday clinic to teach how to decorate, braid, and halter show, was postponed due to weather.

Pins show local support for Ukraine By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer You may have seen people locally wearing pins in support of Ukraine in recent weeks. The pins in yellow and blue are the creation of Sylvie Shields, her contribution to raising awareness for the hardships Ukraine is experiencing following its invasion by Russian troops. “I have been making pins for almost two months now,” she explained. “They are in the colours of the Ukrainian flag (blue and yellow) with a sunflower, Ukraine’s National flower.” Shields said it is an effort that quickly grew beyond her initial plan.

“Initially, when I decided to make them, I was just going to give them to my colleagues at Parkland College to show support to our coworkers and the community,” she told Yorkton This Week. “After mentioning my plans for the weekend to a few colleagues they suggested that I sell them. I have never sold any of my crafts before but I finally decided to go ahead and sell them and donate all the money raised to help the people in Ukraine. It would be a small way I could help.” The idea was one that grew out of Shield’s general interest in doing crafts. “I’ve always made different things over the years,” she said. “I love

crafting, being creative, trying new mediums and making personalized gifts for family and friends.” Shields said she has grown to respect Ukrainian culture locally and wanted to help too. “I’m a Northern Ontario French girl transplanted in Yorkton for 12 years now,” she explained. “I do recall first moving here and exposing not only myself but my daughters to everything Yorkton had to offer and a big part of that was the strong Ukrainian culture and people. I wanted to do something to show support in some way aside from making personal donations. “Watching the news and seeing the war start, I knew this was going to be

a long and ugly situation. “I immediately knew I wanted to do something and the more I watched how proud, resilient and brave the people of Ukraine remained and the relationship they have to their flag, it really connected with me and inspired me.” Pins were not her first thought, just her best one. “At first I thought about making ribbons but there was no stock in town therefore I decided that I had the equipment to help make unique pins instead,” said Shields. “I ordered my supplies from Amazon and waited. “Initially I was just going to make blue and yellow pins, but then I saw the same news clip that most have of the

brave woman giving the sunflower seeds to the Russian soldier. That was when I knew I was going to add that strong symbol that really moved me.” Shields said the emotion of the situation really moved her to do something. “As most I was heartbroken, angry, frustrated and felt hopeless watching what was happening in Ukraine,” she said. “I wanted to show support to not only all Ukrainians but our friends and our community during this appalling attack on innocent men, women and children of Ukraine but also the attack on freedom and democracy.” The response has been surprising, said Shields. “I did discuss my ideas with a co-worker who is from Ukraine prior to making the pins to make sure I wasn’t overstepping and (was) being respectful,” she said, adding, “the response has been very positive -requests from Facebook/ Messenger from different locations in the province as well as requests for pins from the surrounding areas, the public and even from back home in Ontario. “A co-worker has also gotten quite a few requests for pins from her social media and has been provided with pins to a few individuals in the community, Regina and Saskatoon. I’m almost completely done with the last of my supplies for a

few local groups but it is intricate work and many steps involved. “Unfortunately it’s only me therefore I try my best to do as much as I can in the evenings and weekends.” Shields has been selling the pins for $5.00 each. “Like I said I’ve never sold my crafts before therefore I don’t have a dedicated social platform to sell them,” she said. “It’s been by word-ofmouth at this point and social media; supplying them as people request them. I’m hoping to supply a few businesses with them and I do have requests from groups for pins to sell. I have created a new email account to make it easier for individuals to contact me. The email is: sylverscrafts@ gmail.com The funds will be donated to help Ukraine. “One hundred per cent of any money raised from the purchase of the pins is donated,” said Shields. Sales received from March 16 to April 4 have been donated on behalf of Parkland College to the Department of Education and Science of Lviv who are keeping three hospitals operational to meet the needs of the children and individuals in their care. All proceeds of the sales after April 4th will be donated to the CanadaUkraine Foundation (UCC National) campaign to raise $5 million to provide humanitarian assistance to Ukrainians in need and to address any further aggression by Russia. “I am very determined and passionate to have all the money raised go directly to Ukraine and help now with their needs as they change and evolve,” said Shields.

Horses walked through an automatic measuring device, and were then marked if they met the height requirements to race in 2022.

Horses measured in prep for EPCCA season By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The racers with the Eastern Professional Chariot & Chuckwagon Association are beginning to get ready for the 2022 season. Part of the annual preparation is to have their horses officially measured to ensure they qualify to run according to established rules. The annual measuring took place in

Yorkton Sunday at the Agripavilion. Horses must measure 58.5 inches, or less, as they walk through an electronic measuring station, explained association vice-president Shayne Salmond, adding that is roughly 15 hands or less, at the withers. Young horses, three and four year olds are given a temporary brand on a hoof if they qualify, said Salmond. The brand will ‘grow out’ over the

year, and the horses will need to be measured next year, because they are still growing. If a horse is five years old and qualifies, it is given a permanent cold brand and will not need to be measured in future years. The measuring is recognized across all three prairie provinces allowing for inter-provincial racing. Salmond said some

30 drivers would measure around 100 horses in Yorkton Sunday. While being officially measured was the reason for the trip to the city, Salmond said horses are also sold at the event as young horses qualify to run and other drivers see them fitting into their needs when a deal can be made. The drivers are also starting training at home, but the process has been delayed by the late

spring, said Salmond, noting drivers often use dirt roads in their area for training and those are still under a lot of snow. Racers are readying for a busy season. There are currently 18 races set, starting June 4 and 5 in Archerwill, and extending to Aug. 27 and 28 in Wadena, with the possibility of another weekend still be added in September, said Salmond. “It’s approximately 50

days of racing,” he said. With EPCCA races now set for as far afield as North Battleford and Prince Albert, Salmond said racers are going to feel the high cost of fuel in pursuit of their passion, but added several host events have increased prize money to help, and sponsorship is growing too. “There seems like there is a lot of interest,” he said.

Junior Terriers look at talent at spring camp By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The champion of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League is still to be determined, but locally the Yorkton Terriers looked ahead to next season holding their spring camp last week. While the Estevan Bruins are leading the Flin Flon Bombers twogames-to-none in the SJ final, Terrier head coach and general manager was liking what he saw for a Yorkton run at the league crown in 2023. Hehr said this year they kept the camp smaller, focusing on trying to bring in players who can help the team immediately, or in the future, rather than bringing in lots of players. “We had four teams, probably 60ish, (players). It wasn’t a huge camp but it was a competitive one,” he said. The Terriers head toward the 2022-23 season with a core of players who appear ready to return to the team that lost in the league semifinal to Estevan.

“As of right now everybody has said they’re planning to come back,” said Hehr. The Terrier coach then added just wanting to return does not ensure a spot on the roster. He said veterans will need “to earn a spot on the team,” and that will mean competing for those spots at fall camp. Of those who can return only six will be 20. “So we have some room to add some vets if we need to,” said Hehr, adding from what he saw at camp “we might not need that veteran presence.” From what Hehr said he saw at spring camp, the competitions for every spot is likely to be hard fought. In fact, Hehr said the veterans are likely going “to feel the heat a little bit.” Hehr said they had recruited players they thought would be good, but added in camp several looked better than they had anticipated. “We weren’t expecting them to be that good,” he said, adding he was

particularly happy to see some players putting a lot of rubber in the net during scrimmages. Players such as Cade Kennedy, Aiden Knutson, Jackson McDonald, and Brett Butz were among those drawing praise, in part of jelling well through camp. “There was some really good chemistry already,” said Hehr. “It’s a good start for next year.” In net the Terriers return Kael DePape who was very solid for the team, but Tresor Wotton, who also looked solid when called up was only on loan from Waywayseecappo of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, so he’ll be headed back to the Wolverines in the fall. Hehr said they might have found Wotton’s replacement in a very young option, 16-yearold Preston Patenaude, who played with the Rink Hockey Academy in Kelowna last season. “He didn’t look out of place,” said Hehr. Sean Norum who

played last season with the Sherwood Park Kings U18 AAA team also looked like he will challenge for a spot in net, said the Terrier coach. Come the fall camp,

Hehr said it will again be a small group of about 50 players, half young list players “just there to get some experience, to get their feet wet,” before going back to U18 teams,

said Hehr. The rest will be fighting for final roster spots. “We want two, or three guys fighting for each spot. It’s going to be a war,” said Hehr.
