There’s no place like home: Burrowing owls return to Saskatchewan

Regina, SK – June 1, 2022 – Burrowing Owls have completed their long journey back to the Saskatchewan prairies after overwintering in Texas and Mexico. Spring is underway and so is the Burrowing Owl’s breeding season! The Burrowing Owls have paired up and right now the female owls are incubating the eggs (average 6-12), while the males are busy providing food for the female and can be seen standing next to the burrow or on nearby fence posts. Despite being called Burrowing Owls, they actually do not dig their own burrows! These owls have to rely on burrows created by badgers, ground squirrels (gophers) and other burrowing mammals. While it’s important to minimize disturbances near a Burrowing Owl nest, Burrowing Owls actually coexist very well with cattle and other grazers because the shorter grass on a grazed pasture allows them to sight predators more efficiently. They also use the manure to line their burrows to absorb moisture, regulate temperature, attract insects for food and hide their scent from predators. Burrowing

Burrowing Owls eat huge numbers of insects, mice, voles and grasshoppers. — Nature Saskatchewan’s Habitat Stewardship Coordinator, Kaytlyn Burrows Owls will often nest in ditches and cultivated lands as well. If you find Burrowing Owls in your pasture, congratulations! Not only are you providing important habitat for an iconic prairie species, these owls also provide many advantages including free pest control. According to Nature Saskatchewan’s Habitat Stewardship Coordinator, Kaytlyn Burrows, “Burrowing Owls eat huge numbers of insects, mice, voles and grasshoppers. Over the course of a summer, one owl family can consume up to 1800 rodents and 7000 insects!” These one-of-a-kind owls can be identified by their small size, they are only about 9 inches tall, and light and dark brown mottled plumage with white spots. They have round heads with large yellow eyes and white ‘eyebrows’. Their long featherless legs,

give them the appearance of walking on stilts. Burrowing owls are one of the smallest owls in Canada and the only species of owl that lives underground! Nature Saskatchewan’s voluntary stewardship program, Operation Burrowing Owl, works with almost 350 land stewards to conserve Burrowing Owl habitat and monitor population numbers in Saskatchewan. Operation Burrowing Owl records sightings to help determine the population trend and distribution of the Burrowing Owl throughout the province. This information can then be used towards efforts to conserve and restore the habitat and population of these charismatic birds. “Without the voluntary efforts of land stewards and the general public, recovery of this unique

Deadly mix: Impaired & unbelted is an even more dangerous duo Tyler McMurchy Manager, Media Relations, SGI Bad – and potentially fatal – decisions often come in pairs. Impaired driving is the leading factor in auto crash fatalities in Saskatchewan… but in many of those tragic deaths, it’s not the only factor. Did you know more than one-third of impaired driving deaths also involve someone not wearing their seatbelt? Over the last five years, a total of 172 people have been killed in impaired driving collisions on Saskatchewan roads. In 60 of those cases, people were also not properly restrained in their vehicles.

“Driving impaired is dangerous, and not wearing a seatbelt is reckless; unfortunately, where you find one, you often find the other,” said Kwei Quaye, SGI Vice-President of Traffic Safety. “The combination significantly compounds the risk of a bad outcome, because driving impaired greatly increases the chance you’ll be in a crash and being unbelted increases the chance the crash will kill you.” “Driving while under the influence can lead to a litany of bad decisions – including not buckling up.” said Staff Sergeant Chad McLeod of Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan/ Saskatchewan RCMP. “When you’re impaired, you’re not making sound decisions and have no

business being behind the wheel of a vehicle. Our plea to the public is this: Please don’t become a statistic. We don’t want to be going to your family’s door one day to tell them that you’re never coming home again. Drive sober, drive safe – or plan a safe ride home – and don’t break the good habit of wearing your seatbelt each time you get in a vehicle.”

For the June Traffic Safety Spotlight, SGI and police want to remind drivers that road safety comes down to making good decisions, like: • Always sober.

driving

• Planning a safe ride if you’re not going to be sober (i.e. designating a driver, or taking a taxi, rideshare, or designated driving service.)

• Buckling up. Every time. • Never getting into a vehicle with a driver who is impaired.

• Helping impaired friends find a safe ride home or letting them stay the night.

• Calling 9-1-1 to report suspected impaired drivers.

Aside from the potentially fatal outcome of a crash, being caught driving impaired results in a host of consequences that include licence suspensions, vehicle impoundments, financial penalties, driver education, a requirement to install and use Ignition Interlock, and the potential for a criminal record and incarceration. A ticket for not wearing a seatbelt costs the recipient $175, plus three demerit points.

EDITORIAL Roblin-born player helping pioneer 3ICE

A new hockey league is set to hit the ice June 18 and it is betting fans are going to turn out for 3-on-3 hockey from puck drop to final buzzer. E.J. Johnston, President and CEO of 3ICE said the idea is one that fits for today’s world and sports fan, and they may be right as the world seems to want everything in a condensed package. “We like to say it’s snackable,” said Johnston, in an earlier interview with Yorkton This Week, explaining games in 3ICE will be played in two eightminute halves, of straight time, meaning the game will be quick. The new league opens the door for players to try something new, and that’s exactly the case for Jayce Hawryluk who grew up just over the border at Roblin, Man. “They (3ICE) reached out to me,” he explained. “I kind of looked at it and I really liked what they’re trying to do.” The core rules of 3ICE would suggest what 3ICE will be trying to accomplish is offence, more offence, and more offence. There will be no faceoffs. After a goal the goal-

tender fishes the puck out of the net, gives it to a teammate and off they go -- ditto after an offside or icing. Players will not sit in the sin bin either. Instead, calls will be automatic penalty shots. “It’s more entertainment for fans who want to see more goals,” said Hawryluk. “ … There’s going to be a lot of scoring chances I’m predicting.” Unlike sudden death 3-on-3 in hockey where a miscue might result in giving up a great scoring chance in transition facilitating a somewhat cautious approach with the puck, Hawryluk said with 16 minutes to play “there’s likely going to be a lot of trading chances.” Unlike more traditional leagues where teams are city-based 3ICE will follow rugby 7s, Big3 basketball, Premier Lacrosse League and similar efforts where teams go on the road and play in a different locale each week, but not representing any particular city. The first weekend of play is set for Las Vegas which Hawryluk said was a bit of a bonus as a player.

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports “I’m excited to meet my teammates . . . to see how the weekend turns out,” he said. For Hawryluk a summer of 3ICE will be just another stop on a rather winding road of hockey. For four seasons Hawryluk played for the Brandon Wheat Kings of the WHL, then headed to stints with Springfield of the AHL and Manchester Monarchs in the ECHL before finally debuting in the NHL in the 2018-19 season playing 42 games with the Florida Panthers. By the 2019-20 season he was with the Ottawa Senators for 11 games, then a season later was with the Vancouver Canucks for 30 games. In 2021-22 Hawryluk was in Sweden with Skelleftea. “I was kind of going back and forth on my opportunities, to stay

over here, or going over there,” said Hawryluk. The final decision was to head to Sweden where he hoped to play more, adding with the Canucks he was a third or fourth line option. “I wanted to get to play in more key situations,” he said, adding he felt that being someplace to play in bigger moments was the best way “to work on my game to build my game.” Hawryluk said the competition in the Swedish league was good, close to that of the AHL “with a little more skill and better skating because of the bigger ice surface.” The fans were also great. “They’re sort of the Canada of Europe,” he said, adding where he was in the north of Sweden “there’s not too much to do but play, or

Jayce Hawryluk watch hockey and cross country ski,” adding he wasn’t a big fan of the ski option.” As it turned out it was only 14 games into the Swedish season when suffered an injury, and he was shelved for nearly three months. Hawryluk said when he did come back the lingering effect of the missed games never let him excel as he had hoped. “But there were definitely a lot of positives

Every Canadian deserves a safe and affordable place to call home

Recently, Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion, and Social Services Minister and Minister Responsible for Saskatchewan Housing Corporation (SHC) Gene Makowsky, announced an expansion to the Saskatchewan Housing Benefit (SHB) program, so more households can receive the benefit which supports people with low income in better affording their rent. As of June 1, 2022, eligible renters who pay 35 per cent or more of their pre-tax household income on rent and utilities can receive the monthly benefit. Benefit amounts are based on household size and how much income is paid toward shelter costs. The amount of the monthly benefit has also been increased by $25 for households that spend between 35 to 45 per cent of their income on shelter, and by $75 for households that pay more than 45 per cent of their income on shelter. For example, a single

person or couple living with a dependent who spends 35 per cent of their income on shelter will now receive $225 a month, while a single person or couple with two or more dependents who spends more than 45 per cent of their income on shelter will now receive $325 a month. In addition, the asset eligibility limit has increased to $300,000 and the previous rent limits have been removed. The Saskatchewan Housing Benefit was codeveloped and jointly funded by the federal and provincial government through the National Housing Strategy, with up to $11.5 million is available in 2022-23. For more information or to apply for the Saskatchewan Housing Benefit, visit www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/ housing-and-renting/ renting-and-leasing/ saskatchewan-housingbenefit. “Everyone deserves a safe and affordable place to call home,” said Hussen. “To respond to

increased cost of living we are expanding the Saskatchewan Housing Benefit to help ensure that hard working Saskatchewan families and individuals in need don’t get left behind. This is just one of the many ways we are tackling the housing crisis to ensure that more people have access to safe and affordable housing that meets their need. This is the National Housing Strategy at work.” “The Saskatchewan Housing Benefit has been expanded to help even more people better afford their rent and provides a larger benefit to help with increased costs,” Makowsky said. “I encourage Saskatchewan renters to apply for the Saskatchewan Housing Benefit as it provides them with financial help so they can better afford their rent and utilities.” Quick facts: • The Saskatchewan Housing Benefit (SHB) is funded by the federal and provincial governments through the Canada Housing Benefit

initiative of the National Housing Strategy. The federal contribution to the SHB is cost-matched by the province. • The SHB is a portable benefit. This means that recipients remain eligible for the benefit if they move between community housing or private rentals, as long as housing costs are 35 per cent or more of their income. • The Saskatchewan Housing Benefit funding initiative was announced as part of the National Housing Strategy to fund portable housing benefits across Canada. • Canada’s National Housing Strategy (NHS) is a 10-year, $72+ billion plan that will give more Canadians a place to call home. Related links: • As Canada’s authority on housing, CMHC contributes to the stability of the housing market and financial system, provides support for Canadians in housing need, and offers unbiased housing research and advice to all levels of

Canadian government, consumers and the housing industry. CMHC’s aim is that by 2030, everyone in Canada has a home they can afford, and that meets their needs.

Since 2007, the Government of Saskatchewan, through SHC, has invested $786 million to develop more than 12,000 housing units and repair nearly 5,500 homes. SHC has also invested more than $61 million to build nearly 300 units in residential care homes, and $430 million to improve provincially-owned housing.

Now, as an unsigned free agent in terms of hockey in the fall, Hawryluk said he hopes 3ICE might open a few doors, adding he chose to play to try something new. “I decided let’s do it. Let’s try it out. It seemed like a fun opportunity,” he said. For those wanting to check out 3ICE, TSN is carrying games.

KCI graduate named to Time magazine’s most influential list Courtesy of Kamsack Times

As a member of the multi-university research group that led the effort to complete a gapless human reference genome, a KCI graduate has been named to the 2022 Time 100, the magazine’s annual list of the 100 most influential people over the past year. Dr. Evan Eichler of North Bend, Wash., who graduated from the Kamsack Comprehensive Institute in 1987, and whose parents Joe and Mary Jane Eichler live in Swan River, joins the group of Drs. Karen Miga, Adam Phillipy, and Michael Schatz, who were honoured together as a team in the magazine’s Innovation category. A member of the Brotman Baty Institute at UW Medicine (University of Washington), Eichler is a professor of genome

sciences and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, said a press release from UW Medicine.

The achievement was published in Science on April 1, along with a series of scientific papers analyzing different aspects of the finished genome. The work was the culmination of a large consortium, the Telomoreto-Telomere or T2T, which aimed to complete sequences of all 23 human chromosomes, end-to-end, said the press release. A Time tribute to the project team was written by Dr. Jennifer Doudna, the 2020 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry recognized for her work on CRISPR-Casp gene editing. She pointed out the significance of their recent achievement in advancing understanding of human evolution, common and rare

diseases, and the structure and function of the human genome. “I admire the T2T group’s willingness to grapple with the technical demands of this project and their persistence in expanding the genome map into uncharted territory,” Doudna wrote. “The complete human genome sequence is an invaluable resource that may provide new insights into the origin of diseases and how we can treat them. It also offers the most complete look yet at the genetic script underlying the very nature of who we are as human beings. “In the scientific community, there wasn’t a consensus that mapping these missing parts was necessary,” Doudna said. “Some in the field felt there was already plenty to do using the data in hand. In addition, overcoming the technical challenges to getting

the missing information wasn’t possible until recently.

“But the more we learn about the genome, the more we understand that every piece of the puzzle is meaningful.” Eichler’s lab and his graduate students, alongside their work on the overall human genome completion project, contributed to advances in gene sequencing technology and analytics that allowed scientists to decipher areas of the human genome. “These regions were found to contain new information about what makes us distinctly human, in comparison to other primates,” the release said. Their findings also provided insights into primate evolution. Other T2T studies in his lab are clarifying the structure and function of centromeres, which are critical for the accurate segregation of genetic material during cell division.

Among the many intriguing findings of the Eichler lab were certain human-only areas of repeated code, it said. These human-specific areas of segmental duplication are reservoirs for new genes that drive the formation of more neurons and increase connectivity among synapses in the frontal cortex of the brain. This is the part of the brain where reasoning, logic and language functions take place.

Eichler was part of the original Human Genome Project back in 2001. He was fascinated by regions of the genome that were complex from the perspective that they were highly repetitive, but also encoded genes. Readers for the Kamsack Times first read of Eichler in the mid-1980s when he was profiled with his extracurricular project of raising Angora rabbits with his mother. A teacher had encouraged him to take on the project, said his father, who taught at Kamsack

Evan Eichler, a KCI graduate in 1987, is a member of a group of American geneticists, who having completed a map of the human genome, has been named to Time magazine’s 2022 Time 100, the magazine’s list of the hundred most influential people.

from 1980 to 1996. Evan, who holds Canadian as well as American citizenship, and his wife Marla, were to be treated to a black-tie event in New York City last weekend, Joe said, adding that the couple has four children, including an architect, a chemist, a teacher, and the youngest, still a student at school.

In Saskatchewan communities such as Canora, funding any sizable project weighs heavily on the decision makers. “Members of town council look at the information in front of them provided by engineers, and staff, so they can make the best decision possible. Knowing how important the recreational service is to keeping the community a viable place to locate to and live relieved some of the pressure I assume. I don’t think anyone could imagine Canora without a swimming pool.” For every major funding opportunity, the community must take the first step in order to qualify. “An important bit of information that the pub-

lic can take away from this news is that this level of grant funding is only available for projects that are ‘shovel ready’ and fully funded,” continued Herriges. “What this means is in order to be eligible, Canora needed to be fully committed to funding this project on its own. A common misconception surrounding this topic is that sizable grant funding can be obtained before any commitment or planning is made. That’s just not the case. You need to commit to building something and the potential funding comes after. So in a sense, if you never start planning to build anything, you will never have a realistic chance to be successful for grants of this size.” The Town will continue to seek financial aid for this project, wherever it may be available. The organizational, personal, and business donations have been substantial to this point, as the community has fundraised $121,320.17. “You can still donate to the park and receive the incentives we are offering. A $500 donation gets you a family leisure pass ($250 value), or a 12-swim family pass and your name on permanent signage at the park. All donations come with a charitable tax receipt.” No matter how much planning goes into this type of project, the weather always has a say. The actual pool construc-

tion is about two weeks behind schedule, since the amount of snow and rain this year has set the project back from original the timeline of July 15. “We are looking at August now, and that doesn’t include landscaping, fencing, parking, and so on. That has to come later,” reported Herriges. “So at this point I don’t think a 2022 opening is very realistic. I can assure the public it will be worth the wait when the park finally opens in 2023.” Progress on the Aquatic Park project continues. “The service building is near completion. There are smaller finishing jobs left inside. The exterior still needs stucco among a few other things,” explained Herriges. “They are working on finishing the mechanical corridors around the pool. There is a considerable amount of work left that will go smoothly as long as the weather helps a bit.” Herriges said it’s a good thing that the existing pool will only be used for one more season. “Last year the water circulation wasn’t great, so we are trying to improve that. The circulation can be an issue for our pool chemistry if it gets any worse. Among other concerns that are going on, all I can say is that, it’s good thing we won’t have to rely on this facility being operational next year.”

Follow the 5 Paths to fun

Perhaps with the popularity of events such as MMA, and more Hollywood movies than you can shake the proverbial stick at, there are many games that try to mimic the idea of battles. There are many games which simulate such battles -- some are straight board games, some freer form miniature skirmish style – ranging from the gladiatorial battles of old to alien races in a dream of play within the stars. So, when you boldly go into this particular area of game design it is an area that has been extensively mimed over the years. But, that doesn’t mean a new game can’t come along to impress, although it has a lot of

competition already on gamer shelves. A new offering in the field is 5 Paths by designer Nicholas Jackson. The game was recently funded through Kickstarter. The game has a ‘video game’ feel and look, with two players sending pieces into something of a maze. The pieces have different abilities and you move them over the board attempting to either capture five of your opponents’ pieces, or making it where they have no move – both conditions giving you the victory. This is generally an abstract strategy game with a very modern look – maybe a tad off-putting to diehard chess lovers who

THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com like the simplistic checkered board – with pieces that are simply made but stickered to again look quite video-gamey. Like any game of this type, your joy will be heightened by knowing the pieces and what they do well so you are not referring to the rulebook. That knowledge only comes with repeated play, so there is something of a learning curve.

Designer Jackson, who lives in San Francisco where he pays the bills as a Law Clerk said the game has roots in his own gaming background. “On some level I’ve always enjoyed abstract strategy games,” he said in an email interview. “I grew up playing a lot of SRPGs and the first physical game that I learned to play was dominos. So I think I tend to move from a place of abstraction. I won’t pretend I’m some great strategist but the tactical, turn by turn problem solving in abstract strategy games is something that definitely appeals to

me.” Jackson said he never seriously expected to design a game. “A buddy wanted me to help him with the flavor content for a game he was designing and, because we were a small team, I ended up helping with a lot of the mechanical stress testing as well and found out that I enjoyed the problem solving that went into balancing mechanics,” he said. The game 5 Paths “is the first game I ever attempted under my own steam,” added Jackson. So as his first game how did it evolve? “It started as a thought experiment really, but the design process was largely figuring out what didn’t work, fixing it, and then figuring out how to fix what I broke in the process of fixing the earlier problem,” said Jackson. But, as someone fairly new to game design was

there a major challenge? “That’s pretty hard to pin down,” said Jackson. “Throughout the design process I generally felt like I was in over my head, I have a much greater understanding of the design process now but there were definitely long periods of me not knowing how to get around a particular issue with the mechanics or design.” In the end though, what does the designer see as the best aspect of the game? “Quick set up and high replay value,” responded Jackson. “I think that if you like playing the game today you’ll still enjoy it 15 or 20 years from now.” Jackson just might be right on that. The game has high replay potential, and sitting somewhere between chess and a miniature skirmish game it should have broad appeal. Check it out at loamlight.com

As the weather has improved, outdoor work on the Canora Aquatic Park project is moving right along. Here workers are grading the base of the pool so they can pour the concrete for the base slab.

Canora Aquatic Park project receives significant federal funding boost Courtesy of Canora Courier

In a major development for the new Canora Aquatic Park project, the Town of Canora has been successful in obtaining $743,617 in financial assistance through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF). Canora Leisure Services applied for funding assistance in 2021 through the PrairiesCan recreational stream. The Canora Aquatic Park met the criteria as an eligible project.

“We applied in July of last year, so this recent news is a pleasant surprise,” said Aaron Herriges, Leisure Services Director.

The announcement comes as a welcome development for Canora and the surrounding area. “We are very excited and appreciative of the federal funding assistance,” said Canora Mayor Mike Kwas. “The Aquatic

Park will be a wonderful asset to our community for a long time as we continue to grow and enhance the quality of life for our citizens and visitors.” The development for the new project is taking place on Fourth Street in Canora across from the Chase Kraynick “Pay it Forward” Splash Park, another popular facility that opened in 2015. “Our summer programs are getting a boost with the development of this park,” explained Herriges. The Canora Aquatic Park Project includes the construction of a 5,297 sq. ft. fully accessible leisure and lap pool, as well as a fully accessible pool service building with supplementary infrastructure. Many of the details of the project can be found on canora. com. Through the CCRF, the Town was granted the full amount available under the stream which came to $743,617. Confirmation for the

grant was received on April 28. “Investing in outdoor recreational spaces like the Canora Aquatic Park enhances the community and supports the mental and physical well-being of residents and visitors,” stated Daniel Vandal, Minister for PrairiesCan. “Our government is working together with partners to support new infrastructure through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund so people have a place to gather and connect in their community today, and for years to come.” The benefits to Canora and the surrounding area are expected to be many, ranging far into the future: • Improve community profile; • Increase visitor traffic; • Increase commerce; • Improve quality of life for all ages by creating a fully accessible community space that is inclusive, safe, and relaxing; Continued on Page 6

Obituaries

GOULDEN - The family of Lingard “Rex” Goulden, beloved husband of Randy Goulden of Yorkton, sadly announce his passing on Saturday, March 26, 2022 at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre. He was 75 years of age. A celebration of Rex’s life will take place on Saturday, June 11th at 2:00 p.m. in the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre. For those who choose to attend virtually, please visit Rex’s obituary page at baileysfuneralhome. com the livestream will begin at 1:45 p.m. The interment will follow in the Yorkton City Cemetery. Food and storytelling will follow at the Yorkton Wildlife Federation Clubhouse at York Lake. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Dr. Brass School to provide an opportunity for students who are not financially able to participate in sports academies or extracurricular activities. Donations can be made out to Dr. Brass School and mailed to 388 Third Avenue North, Yorkton Sask, S3N 1E4. Please also consider following Rex’s example by extending extra kindness for someone for no reason at all. Rex has also requested that in his honour, all Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs fans wear a Habs jersey. On March 26, 2022 Lingard (Rex) Goulden’s storytelling days came to an end. Like all Rex stories, there were a couple detours to get to the final destination. Rex was born in Yorkton on August 31, 1946, the eldest child to Rex and Isabel Goulden. According to his grandmother, Mary Goulden, “He was good natured, and the best-behaved baby I have ever known.” Not that a grandmother would be biased. He grew up a farm boy with a dog by his side, never wearing shoes, drinking tea from a mason jar in the field, being chased by a rooster, getting bucked off a cow on Christmas day, and visiting with the Buchans and the McDonalds on a daily basis. Rex walked up hill both ways to attend Eden School along with his younger sister Eunice. He then attended Yorkton Composite High School and continued a pattern of academic indifference and athletic excellence. Rex met Randy Wintonyk, a friend of his sister Eunice’s, and a lifetime of love, laughter and family began when they married on November 28, 1969. Rex and Randy remained best friends and partners in adventure for all these years. In these difficult times, it was Randy who brought him comfort. Watching Rex and Randy take this journey together shows what a lifetime of loving your best friend means. Between his daily peddle run for SLH Transport and helping Randy with the Regina Leader-Post in Yorkton, Rex always made time to help out a neighbour, a friend or anyone he encountered. He never missed an opportunity to extend a kindness. Any outing always took longer because Rex knew someone there to talk to or knew a “shortcut” down backroads to get there. He was proud of his record as one of the least successful coaches in Yorkton Minor Hockey history. He picked teams based on his son’s friends and the kids having fun and the parents having even more fun. This aptitude for hockey extended to his time with the storied Yorkton JJ franchise where he may never have answered the burning question of whether he could hit a wide-open net from 10 feet out. With due respect to Tom Goulden, Rex was the smartest man we ever knew. He has a long history of Sports Trivia championships with his friends Brian Ford, Kurt Keilback, Dennis Shindle and Ron Balacko. He read continually and valued understanding the imperfect history of Canada. Rex enjoyed the many memorable holidays and events with Eunice and Larry Off and their family. These events and visits often included games, food and fireworks (following no appropriate safety procedures). Rex and Randy were proud that they have visited all 10 provinces and two of the three territories in Canada, including their most memorable trip canoeing on the Nahanni River in the Northwest Territories for three weeks. On many of these trips, they brought their grandchildren as part of their yearly “cousin camp.” Rex and Randy instilled in their children a commitment of service to community, of empathy for everyone you encounter, of learning all sides of a story, and a love of laughter. Rex was never too busy to spend time with Randy, his children and his grandchildren. Rex never had a bad day and made everyone around him feel important. When his grandchildren arrived in his life, Rex found his true calling as “Grandpa Rex.” In his eyes there was nothing more perfect and treasured than his grandchildren Kathryn, Zach, Calen, Jaiden, Johnny, Amarah, Ella and Janelle. He loved each of them for who they were. This love was evident in the last few difficult months, when all of the grandchildren reached out continually to their Grandma Randy and Grandpa Rex – texts, Facetimes, visits – the love and attention Rex showed them was returned back to him. While it is so hard to watch his grandchildren experience the loss of their much-loved, continually teasing Grandpa Rex, we take comfort knowing they have the memories of him always making time for them and loving them truly unconditionally, no matter what. He was truly of one the good guys.Rex was predeceased by his parents Rex and Isabel and his beloved sister Eunice Off. Leaving to celebrate his life, continue telling the stories, taking the backroads, and cheering for the Habs, Riders, Braves and Broncos are his wife of over 52 years, Randy, and their children: Darcy (Darci) and their children, Jaiden and Janelle; Pamela (Darrell McLeod) and their children Johnathan and Ella; Michelle (Jamie Shullman) and Michelle and Kelly Maddin’s children Kathryn (Blaine McGillivray) and Zachary; Tom (Jen) and their children Calen and Amarah; and of course Rex’s much spoiled dog and cat Gracie and Spot. Arrangements have been entrusted to Bailey’s Funeral Home.

Propp awarded as volunteer of the year By Tyson Off Staff Writer

YORKTON – Local business owner, Kenn Propp, was honoured with the Easter Seals Canada Volunteer of the Year for Saskatchewan award on June 1 at the Tillman Quality of Life Centre. “Supporting Easter Seals is especially important to me because I grew up with an aunt who was disabled and I had cousins who were disabled – I know what it’s like for the families – the commitment that they have to make to their children 365 days a year,” said Propp in an acceptance speech upon accepting the award. “The camp gives them a little bit of a respite – kudos to the people that work for Easter Seals and dedicate their time to making sure these kids have a great time at camp,” said Propp, adding, “I had the opportunity to visit the camp and

it was really overwhelming – and a very hearttouching moment – to see how committed and dedicated the people are to working with children with disabilities.” “For over 30 years, [Propp] has given countless hours of his time, raised, and contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Easter Seals Saskatchewan,” read a statement on a media release from Sask Abilities. “[Propp’s] decades of support have been crucial to the long-term success and growth of Snowarama. His passion for supporting Easter Seals and individuals experiencing disability is unwavering, as regardless of snow and weather conditions, pandemic regulations, and any other possible hurdle, he continues to participate in Snowarama, and give his time and resources to our cause,” added the media release. “It was unexpected – I

don’t think anybody does these things for recognition – you dedicate to a cause and you do it,” said Propp in a media scrum, adding, “if you go to the camp and you see young people – 20, 22, 24 yearsold – looking after these kids 24-hours-a-day, it literally melts your heart.”

Auctions

“I had family that actually suffered from disabilities – so I grew up kind of surrounded by people that had that – so I knew how important the camp was,” said Propp, “my grandmother looked after my aunt until the day [my aunt] died – with the commitment that she put in – kind of got me, I guess, saturated – or really into the cause – recognising how important it is to the kids, but so important to the families – if you could imagine having to look after somebody for 365 days out of the year.”

Kenn Propp accepting his award from Sask Abilities’ Community Relations Co-ordinator, Deana Jesmer.

“Outstanding dedication and commitment to doing something like that,” said Propp.

This is Propp’s second notable award of the year, having accepted

the Business Leader of the Year award from the Yorkton Chamber

of Commerce at the Celebrate Success Awards in April.

Survivor’s Flag now at home at YRHS By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer

A Survivor’s Flag now hangs in the hallway just outside the doors of the Anne Portnuff Theatre at the Yorkton Regional High School. The location was selected so that the flag, as a symbol of the process of reconciliation in Yorkton, will be visible not just to students but to the community as they visit the school, said Kendra Helfich, one of the people who began the process to get a flag for the school. Helfich said when the creation of the flag first occurred the school made enquiries to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) about getting a flag, but with limited copies made they were going only to those involved in creation of the flag, or residential school survivors. But, through a number of emails the NCTR became interested in the school’s dedication to the reconciliation process, and eventually gifted the school a flag. It was that flag which was hung Wednesday after a presentation which looked at the impact of residential schools and the need for reconciliation through the eyes of three generations, two of those survivors and the speaker looking at the present being from a family impacted by the schools. Dutch Lerat, 2nd ViceChief FSIN, a residential school survivor spoke about the past. YRHS Grade 11 student Cree Delorme was the MC for the event and spoke about the ‘present’ and Clorice Delorme spoke to the ‘future’ Lerat said in signing treaties First Nations sought education but once signed “we had to fight for that right,” saying the “spirit and intent of their leaders was quickly lost. It was the same in terms of negotiating for health care for First

Cree Delorme

Nations, believing the treaties ensured “the Crown would take care of us,” but again it has been a struggle ensuring that has been honoured. As for residential schools Lerat challenged those attending to think about what it would be like at five years old “to be taken from your homes against your will, against your parent’s will,” adding “it happened not just on Cowessess (First Nation), but across the country.” Lerat said it was during this time they lost their language, lost much of their culture, at the same time young students were often physically or sexually abused. As bad as it was Lerat said he was not looking to illicit “pity”. “We’re looking for understanding,” he said. A big part of understanding is realized “the long shadow of residential schools still lives with us,” he said, adding the schools left scars, “. . .We came out very damaged . . . angry.” Lerat said they are looking to what they hope is a better tomorrow and that is at the heart of reconciliation, which he added is “about coming together, coming to terms with the events of the past.” Cree Delorme said as a young person today she is living with the ramifications of residential schools. “I was never raised in my language,” which she added “is a critical aspect” of who First Nations are as a people. And it was the residential schools which split families, and left generations without parenting skills to utilize when they themselves had children. And the broken people Lerat spoke of often turned to addiction to cope. “This is our present,” she said. Clarice Delorme who spoke to the future said it was not an easy topic to speak of.

“It’s not going to be red roses and strawberries,” she said. “It’s going to be hard.” Delorme spent nine years in the residential schools, a time where the schools were essentially all she knew. When Delorme left school she said she didn’t know who she was, didn’t really know her family, was essentially lost. “It was a difficult transition,” she said, adding it was a case of not knowing who she was or what her purpose was. And that hasn’t changed for many even today. “Being an educator I see it every day in our schools,” she said.

discussed remembrance and the creation of a Survivors flag as a salient and accessible symbol to honour the lives impacted by the residential school system,” stated the site. According to the NCTR webpage; “the Survivors’ Flag is an expression of remembrance, meant to honour residential school survivors and all the lives and communities impact-

ed by the residential school system in Canada. Each element depicted on the flag was carefully selected by survivors from across Canada, who were consulted in the flag’s creation. “The Survivors’ flag was designed during six weeks of consultation, discussion and collaboration with Survivors from across Canada. Inuit,

Mi’kmaq, Atikamekw, Cree, Ojibway, Dakota, Mohawk, Dene, Nuu-chahnulth, Secwepemc, Métis Survivors brought the flag to life by sharing their thoughts, ideas and lived experience to identify the important symbolism you see. The NCTR ensured the Survivors’ wishes and ideas were conveyed to Vincent Design to complete the flag.

101 THINGS TO DO THIS SUMMER

It’s not about being a success in the western world, but is instead important young First Nations “learn about who we are.” It is only after knowing who they are that they can find balance with the western world, said Delorme. Delorme added that Indigenous peoples have a different world view and they need to fully understand that as do non-First Nations. In that regard Delorme said reconciliation is about building partnerships which recognize and accept the different world views. The flag hung Wednesday was originally conceived during summer 2021, after the discoveries of massive unmarked graves found on the grounds of former residential schools sparked heartfelt responses of mourning throughout Canada and from across the globe, noted the NCTR website. “As members of the public inquired about how they could show respect, many Survivors
