The Sturgis Composite School junior boys curling team hosted district play with three teams participating at the Sturgis Curling Rink on February 4.

Mason Babiuk, skip, was preparing to throw his first rock with teammates Trae Peterson, left, and Bracyn Konkel ready to sweep and guide his rock down the ice towards the rings.

Mason Babiuk, Sturgis skip (back to camera), discussed his next move with Cole Masley, third.

Young local curlers received valuable experience Courtesy of Preeceville Progress The Sturgis Composite School’s junior boys curling team was joined by Yorkton Regional and Esterhazy school rinks as they played off in the East Central Curling district play held in Sturgis on February 4.

“The Sturgis junior boys all played very well and gained

some valuable curling experience both on and off the ice,” said Kristen Peterson, coach. “This is the first time in a few years that the kids were able to play competitively and they made some great progress as curlers. We are a young team which is always a little bit of a challenge and overall they did great despite losing both games in the double elimination round,” she said.

Team members were: Mason

Babiuk, skip; Cole Masley, third; Trae Peterson, second and Bracyn Konkel and Parker Ryczak shared the lead position.

Yorkton Regional won the tournament followed by Esterhazy and Sturgis.

The mixed district curling playoff was also held in Sturgis on February 4 with only two teams entered. Sacred Heart defeated Esterhazy to win the event.

Mason Babiuk called the line from the rings as teammates Bracyn Konkel and Cole Masley swept a rock to keep it on line.

USask-City of Saskatoon study finds ways to divert edible food from landfill

Saskatoon – Diverting edible items from the landfill to improve food security is an easy cause to support. Removing the barriers to make it happen, however, can be complicated.

A new joint study by the University of Saskatchewan (USask) and the City of Saskatoon, Promising Practices in Food Reclamation in Saskatoon, found ways to minimize the food being discarded.

The project took place through Research Junction, an innovative partnership between the city and the university. Research Junction awards funding to projects that apply advanced research methods to address current issues in Saskatoon.

Rachel EnglerStringer of USask’s Community-University Institute for Social Research was a lead researcher on the project.

The team performed a survey of best practices in food diversion, and gathered information from a wide variety of stakeholders, including food retailers and organizations on the front lines of providing food to clients in Saskatoon.

Once they understood

the logistical and infrastructure barriers to diverting food, researchers developed recommendations to address this widespread issue. It is estimated one-third of the food produced worldwide and 30-40 per cent of all food produced in Canada annually is wasted or lost.

“We tried to make it very practical,” said Engler-Stringer, who is also associate professor in the Department of Community Health and Epidemiology at USask’s College of Medicine. “I hope that a number of our recommendations will be taken up and there will be significant change in Saskatoon.”

In particular, she would like to see a food recovery association created in partnership with governments, as well as a social enterprise established to “upcycle” or transform surplus food for other uses.

Farhad Lashgarara, who was a principal researcher for the study, said it is necessary to both create ways to divert food from landfills and provide disincentives for simply discarding it.

“It is now easier to just throw things away,” he said. “We need to change that equation.”

Other recommendations include a public awareness campaign, the use of phone food diversion apps, and inclusion of food diversion in city planning processes.

This initiative aligns with Saskatoon’s Solid Waste Reduction and Diversion Plan that provides clear actions the city can take to produce less waste and recycle and compost most of it. The report was presented to the Standing Policy Committee on Environment, Utilities and Corporate Services today.

“With these two strategies coordinated, the city is looking toward the next steps to act on their recommendations,” said Director of Sustainability for the City of Saskatoon, Jeanna South. “The upcoming regulation for businesses to start diverting the food waste they generate in 2023 presents an opportunity to encourage reduction and redistribution of food that otherwise would become waste, thus saving disposal costs while benefiting our community and environment.”

Tender awarded for Esterhazy water treatment plant

By Sierra D’Souza Butts Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (The World-Spectator Moosomin) At their regular meeting on Wednesday, February 9, Esterhazy town council passed a motion to accept the recommendation from their project manager— Integrated Engineering— and award the tender for the new water treatment plant superstructure to Hipperson Construction of Saskatoon.

Hipperson Construction’s tender came in at $3,138,808.

Hipperson Construction will construct the building for the water treatment plant. The town will be approving separate tenders for the rest of the project including a tender for site civil works, process and building mechanical, electrical instrumentation and controls, and for the four reservoirs needed for the new plant.

In total the project is estimated to cost $29 million. The town of Esterhazy was approved for the Investing in

Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) for the project, with the federal government covering 40 per cent of the cost of the project, the provincial government 33.33 per cent, and the municipality 26.67 per cent.

The new water treatment plant will be located at 901 Sumner Street, and construction on the project is set to start this spring.

No change to remuneration in 2022 Council reviewed remuneration for 2022 and passed a motion to keep remuneration the same as in 2021. The mayor will continue to receive a monthly indemnity of $1,182.28.

Councillors will continue to receive a monthly indemnity of $600 for regular and special meetings.

A per diem of $75 for a half day and $150 for a full day will continue to be offered for events and meetings out of the local area.

Sask Lotteries grant approved for $26,034 CAO

reported to council that the town’s Sask Lotteries Community Grant had been approved in the amount of $26,034 for 2022. The town of Esterhazy distributes the Sask Lotteries grant money to various community groups who apply for it. Applications for the grant money are available at the town office.

A winter wonderland awaits at Duck Mountain Courtesty of Kamsack Times

by Sask Parks The 3,600 square foot snow maze debuted during the 2020-21 winter season.

The giant maze is back again this year and is now open at the Fern Campground so that you can enjoy getting lost even during winter.

Snow maze isn’t the only fun thing to do at Duck Mountain Provincial Park.

Those who like to meander enjoying the beauty of nature during winter can explore 78 km of trails in the park on snowshoes. If you rather zoom on snowmobiles, then there are 40 km of snowmobile trails available at the park.

If fat biking is more to your liking, 12 kilometres of fat bike trails are ready

for your winter exercise.

Skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts can enjoy snowboarding, crosscountry skiing and downhill skiing at the Duck Mountain Ski Area.

Want to play a round of crokicurl, then you can do that too!

There is also a tobogganing hill, skating rink and guided activities like snowshoeing and bonfire skating parties on Saturdays.

Saskatchewan is known for its fishing opportunities and, in case you are itching to try ice-fishing, you can try that at Madge Lake.

Remember your fishing license (not required during family day weekend).

vice in 2022.

Snow removal bylaw discussed At the previous town council meeting, council passed a motion for a snow removal bylaw, stating that emergency routes would be prioritized to be cleared first, and school routes and main arteries will be second priority followed by residential areas to be cleared afterwards.

The bylaw also stated that residents should remove the excess snow from their driveways and sidewalks onto their own property.

“With the new snow removal bylaw, we haven’t had many complaints, the biggest complaints we’ve had is people calling in because

their neighbors are pushing snow onto their driveways, instead of their own,” said director of operations Joel Friesen.

Based on other towns’ bylaws that Friesen reviewed, he stated that individuals should be a good neighbor and not move snow to others’ property, but their own.

Friesen reported that almost 600 hours of snow removal was done in the month of January.

“That’s including the two days we couldn’t do it because of water breaks, and there were also three days in January that we couldn’t do it because it was too cold to get the equipment out. They moved a lot of snow in that month, and February doesn’t look like it’s going to be any easier.”

Town of White City asks for council’s support Council members reviewed a letter from the Town of White City, seeking support of its application for Boundary Alteration.

The application is asking the Saskatchewan Municipal Board for authority to expand their town’s borders, in order to extend its municipality. As such, the Town of White City has asked council members for a letter of support, to assist with the application.

Council members said because Esterhazy is nowhere close to Town of White City, they wish to not get in the middle of the issue.

Members decided to not act upon Town of White City’s request.

EDITORIAL Pro Hockey was once played in Victoria There appears to be something of a trend in recent sports books to extend the stories beyond the sport being written by including something of the world going on around it to.

That was certainly the case with Klondikers: Dawson City’s Stanley Cup Challenge and How a Nation Fell in Love with Hockey by Tim Falconer reviewed here recently.

The book included as much about the Klondike and in particular the gold rush there as it did the hockey team and its Stanley Cup challenge.

It was the same with The Eagles of Heart Mountain: A True Story of Football, Incarceration, and Resistance in World War II America by Bradford Pearson which again was reviewed here.

That fine book dealt with the politics of the era and the internment of Japanese Americans with the football team just a unifying thread.

It is an approach used to good advantage by Alan Livingstone MacLeod in his most recent book as well. While, Capitals, Aristocrats, and Cougars: Victoria’s Hockey Professionals, 1911–1926 tells in some detail the story of the incarnations of Victoria’s professional hockey franchise, it equally expands the text to give readers a picture of the city and world around the team.

“It was by design,” MacLeod explained in are recent telephone interview, adding he wanted to created “a book not simply about hockey.”

MacLeod said he has long held a dual interest,

that for hockey, and about the great wars, a previous book; From Rinks to Regiments: Hockey Hallof-Famers and the Great War, combined the two, and his latest effort follows that course too.

Often hockey and the war intersect in the book for example this excerpt, “Allowing nine goals might have led some readers to imagine that the goaltending sieve, Fred McCulloch, was still safeguarding the Canaries’ goal but, no, McCulloch was now a soldier in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. In his place stood Norman Boswell “Hec” Fowler. Though a native of Peterborough, Ontario, Fowler had established his goaltending credentials in Saskatchewan, mostly in Saskatoon, over eight amateur seasons starting in 1908. His new role as Canaries’ netminder was Fowler’s first experience of playing for pay, his initial season as a hockey professional. Fowler’s hockey career was interrupted in 1918 for reasons both similar to and different from those that applied to Fred McCulloch: he became a soldier, but while McCulloch had volunteered for the Canadian Expeditionary Force, Fowler was conscripted.”

And, this one, which brings the book a little closer to home for local readers as it relates to a player from nearby.

“One of the Canadian soldiers who had fought – and was seriously wounded – at Vimy was one Mervyn Dutton of Russell, Manitoba. Just nineteen when he went over the top with the

CALVIN DANIELS

Opinion Canada Corps on Easter Monday, 1917, Dutton came close to losing a leg for his troubles. By 1922, his war wounds repaired, “Red” Dutton was a stalwart defenceman with the Calgary Tigers, someone who in days to come would tangle with the Victoria Cougars at the Epworth Street arena.”

It was interesting as a reader how often the players for Victoria connected back to Saskatchewan.

“There were cast changes in the Victoria lineup. Charley Tobin had packed his gear bag and joined the Aristocrats’ adversaries in Seattle.

After three seasons as a PCHA pro, Stan Marples, a prairie lad, (the exact place not identified), had returned to amateur hockey to become a leading light of the Moose Jaw Maple Leafs of the Saskatchewan Senior Hockey League.”

Of course adding the world around the book meant more effort into research for MacLeod too.

“I spent a good deal more time doing the research than actually writing the book,” said MacLeod.

What that research allowed was a rare glimpse into a very different era in which the

team played, although at times concerns then and now do seem to intersect, as was the case in the January 19 (1915) Colonist.

The article “suggested that deep concern about catastrophic climate change might not be a strictly twenty-first century worry. Colonist readers must have been struck by the headline, Race Must Follow Example Of Martians.

Appearing before a meeting of the Victoria Astronomical Society, the Colonist reported that Mr. F. N. Denison, superintendent of the Dominion Observatory on Little Saanich Island, showed evidence of the well-defined canals delivering water from the Martian north pole to those living to the south. Mr. Denison had a warning for earthlings: given the rapid departure of moisture from our own planet, it will be necessary to follow the example thought to have been set by Martians, by constructing “world-wide systems of irrigation canals to keep desert areas fertile.”

But, of course the core of the story is hockey, a long held love for MacLeod, who terms himself “a run-of-the-mill pond hockey player.”

MacLeod grew up “very much a hockey card collector,” recalling that in 1960 a subset of the O-Pee-Chee hockey cards highlighted 27 of the greatest players of all-time, with Lester Patrick, instrumental to professional hockey in Victoria #1.

“That’s what started my interest in hockey history,” said MacLeod, who added while many Canadian kids collected hockey cards in their youth, he was one who also kept the cards into adulthood.

But even in terms of hockey MacLeod kept the book interesting beyond the Victoria team.

For example, “Amid all the misery, Victoria’s

hockey fans might have taken comfort from events in far-off Chamonix in the French Alps. Frank Fredrickson and Slim Halderson had played leading roles in Canada’s 1920 Olympic victory at Antwerp, and they must have revelled in what their successors accomplished at Chamonix in the 1924 games. The Canadians won gold again, and did so even more convincingly than the Icelandic Canadians had managed four years earlier. They swatted aside the Czechs, Swedes, and Swiss by ab aggregate 85-0 margin in the opening round. The semi-final against Britain was a little closer, 19-2; then on February 3, the Canadians won gold by 6-1 over the United States.”

Interestingly, Frank Fredrickson, plays a huge role in the book as a player with an outstanding career that most will know little about.

After being the Captain and leading scorer for Canada’s first Olympic gold medal winning team, he went on to a long pro career including six seasons in Victoria including the Stanley Cup winning team in 1925.

Fredrickson went on to coach at Princeton, where he became friends with Albert Einstein.

He would eventually be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame too.

“He’s (Fredrickson) a remarkable guy,” said MacLeod.

The book is actually notable for the little nuggets of interest MacLeod includes such as; “Skilled as he was at hockey, Jim Riley may have been an even better baseball player. He batted close to .300 over nine seasons of higher-level minor league baseball, before briefly making it to “The Show” – major league baseball – with the St. Louis Browns and Washington Senators in 1921 and 1923. After the collapse of the western league in 1926. Riley played a season of NHL hockey with Chicago and Detroit in 1926-27. To this day, he is the only man ever to play in both the NHL and in major league baseball.”

And; “Before the opening faceoff the Edmonton audience paid homage to Foley Martin, a native

Albertan and member of the previous year’s edition of the Calgary Tigers. Martin had died in circumstances about as quirky as those that ended the life of Lord Carnarvon. Home remedies for everything from piles to pimples, grippe to lumbago, and catarrh to corns were as lucrative a source of advertising in the nation’s newspapers as were cigarettes and tobacco products. Corns, the thick, hardened calluses growing on toes unhappy with the shoes they were jammed into were a particular focus of 1920s advertising. Instead of investing in any of the advertised treatments on offer, Foley Martin had sliced off his corn with a razor blade. The blood poisoning resulting from this self-surgery killed young Marin at the age of twenty-two. The Calgary Tigers did something special in memory of Foley Martin: they retired his sweater number – number five – the first time in North American professional sports that a player was so honoured.”

And so it goes, a book filled with Victoria hockey and the story of the world as it was around the sport.

While the hockey itself might bog down a bit in detail for a nonVictoria hockey fan, MacLeod keeps the story interesting with the added history that the book remained an enjoyable read.

CCS Cougars finding success under first-year Canora coach Courtesy of Canora Courier The Canora Composite School Cougars senior boys basketball team hosted the Foam Lake Panthers in an entertaining game on February 7. The Cougars roared out to a hot start with the first seven points of the game, and held a 27 to 15 lead after the first quarter. But the Panthers clawed their way back into contention, coming to within two points of the Cougars during the second quarter. CCS then seemed to find another gear, draining shots from all over the floor and earning an 88 to 58 lead by the end of the third quarter.

Noah Creedon, first-year coach of the Cougars, said the players deserved full credit for the turnaround. “The team realized that we were out of sync, and we weren’t playing ‘our’ game, we were playing theirs,” assessed Creedon. “We made the adjustments that we needed to, and the boys came into the

third with a lot of energy and renewed determination to show Foam Lake what they really have in them.”

In the fourth quarter the starters were rested for both teams and the play was relatively even. The final score was 106 to 76 in favour of CCS. Creedon said it was a challenging game, with some valuable lessons for the Cougars.

“Offensively, I feel that we started off strong, then we started to settle for the first shot, not the best shot.

Defensively, we were letting them get to the middle too easily. This meant that they were getting up to the rim without any real contest. Rebound wise, it was a rough game. The reality is that Foam Lake is strong on the rebound, and it is something that we are going to work on.”

After just moving to Canora last summer, Creedon said he is thoroughly enjoying his first year coaching at CCS “I absolutely love this group of kids. I really don’t

think I could have asked for a better group. It has been an amazing way to start off my Saskatchewan coaching career.”

Creedon’s interest in basketball goes back to his first year playing competitively when he was in Grade 6, and his playing career continued through college.

“In high school, I won numerous awards for things like being league MVP, team MVP, and scoring titles,” he recalled. “My junior team went to NOSSA (Northern Ontario Secondary School Athletics) regionals twice, and my senior team made it to provincials in my Grade 12 year.”

His coaching career started in 2017 when he entered college, as the assistant coach for the White Pines high school junior boys team in his hometown, Sault Ste Marie, Ont. “That year our team went to conference finals, and on to NOSSA finals. The following season, I took over as the junior boys head coach at White Pines. Again, we made it to conferences, and continued on to NOSSA regionals. In 2019 and 2020, I was a part of the coaching staff for the Steel City Slam recreational league for boys in Grades 9 and 10, when COVID restrictions allowed for play.”

When he moved to Saskatchewan, Creedon knew he wanted to continue coaching.

One of Creedon’s favourite aspects about basketball is the technical aspect of the game, and the thinking that it takes to excel.

“Most people see basketball as ‘you put the ball in the hoop and try to outscore the other team.’ In reality, it is so much more than that. I was always taught that the smarter player won. This caused me to become obsessed. Then it became easy because I could see the small details in the game. I started to see the signs of how the opposing team wanted to play and how I could take advantage of it. The thing I love most about coaching is seeing in these kids with the same love for the game that I have. Seeing these kids wanting to learn, wanting to improve, that’s what makes it worthwhile and fun for me.”

One of the qualities that has impressed Creedon most about his team is, “they have an immense amount of composure on the court when facing adversity. As well, they play with incredible intensity.

Our team and our style of play is such that it is ‘in your face’ all game long and never lets the opponent get comfortable in any kind of rhythm. We also have some amazing leadership in our graduating players, and that just adds to the spirit of the whole team.”

After the win over Foam Lake, the Cougars’ record for the season was five wins and three losses. Creedon said a few games had to be rescheduled in early January when the school was dealing with a number of CCS cases. After losing the entire previous season to the pandemic, the players are thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to get back on the court again.

“One thousand percent. Many of them have stated that they are incredibly happy to be playing again this year. And I am just as excited as they are, to be coaching again.

“I would like to add that I could not do this without the help of my assistant coaches, Andrew Hoffman and my wife Kamdyn Creedon who are doing an amazing job behind the scenes. They often do not get the credit that they truly deserve, but the job done really is great,” concluded Creedon.

The upcoming schedule for the Cougars includes a trip to Foam Lake on February 17, a tournament in Norquay on February 18 and 19, and another game in Norquay on March 1.

A mancala board is always a good buy One of the great things about yard sales and thrift stores is you are never exactly sure what you might find.

As a hobbyist that is always exciting, whether you collect Avon bottles, sports cards or comic books or board games.

To be honest the members of our modest little Meeple Guild are not exactly board game collectors. We are more correctly board game accumulators.

We acquire games with every expectation we will play them one day, although truth be told there are a growing number of games on our shelves yet to see our game table – the COVID pandemic making the problem worse as we have met to play games

rarely in the past two years.

The situation has not meant we’ve quit buying games, there were a few passing from one guilder to another under the decorated tree in December.

And, there are regular visits to the local thrift store, where a perusal of the game shelf is a must.

It’s not too often the search has netted something great, but it has happened, Pylos and Pentago coming immediately to mind.

There has also been a rather great looking stone chess set, and a few backgammon games horded for the pieces which are useful when bodgering other games.

Recently, two finds

THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com came home, one a real win, one that shows you need to be careful because used games may not be complete.

The first was ‘The Game of Space’, which is a game using magnets. It was of interest because a recent acquisition Kluster has proven to be a lot of simple fun placing magnets within a defined area hoping they do not attract to other

magnetic stones already on the play surface.

The Game of Space is similar, but comes with a ‘board’ in four sections, that can be arranged in different patterns. It looked different enough that for $5 I grabbed it.

But, half of the 20 magnets were MIA. That would be a disaster if Kluster was already not on the game room shelf, where a few mag-

nets can be borrowed from for TGoS. It was a reminder to check boxes before you buy.

The second find was not one I worried was missing pieces, as it was simply a rather nice mancala board.

There are often mancala boards, the lowcost commercial sets that come with garish marbles, that while functional lack something aesthetically.

This board is a bit larger, with nice rounded cups, and even a bit of simple decoration.

It will need pieces, but that will be simple enough with some dried beans or chickpeas.

The chickpeas being round are nice, but kidney beans being red

might look nice against the wood stain – oh the decisions we must make.

Now for some mancala is thought of as a children’s game, and while it is a great one to teach youth some simple math, it has numerous variations which can be played at a very high level.

The games of mancala are good for older players too, as they do require thinking on every play, and the maneuvering of pieces has to be good for the muscles in the hands too.

So it’s never too early, or too late to learn to play and appreciate mancala in its varied forms so grab a board – they are low cost at thrift stores – and be ready for a lifelong game experience.

Up close photos in latest pARTners exhibit

By Tyson Off Staff Writer The new show at Community pARTners Gallery in Yorkton focuses on macro-photography.

Shannon Erickson’s exhibit, ‘Up Close and Beautiful’ features scenes from the world captured through the eye of a macro photography lens.

“I try to capture the details in the ordinary parts of life, the beauty in creation and the details all around us.” said Erickson in an interview with Yorkton This Week.

Erickson, who is originally from Saskatchewan, but lived in Toronto for 16 years, said her interest in photography came by way of friends she’d met while living there.

“It started with general photography,” said Erickson, adding, “Macro has changed my perspective.”

Wottons become latest father/son duo

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer When Tresor Wotton took to the ice the first time with the Yorkton Terriers he not only started his Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League career, but he also joined a rather select group – a junior Terrier whose father also played for the team.

The Wotton’s join the likes of father Derek Stevely who played with the Terriers the year the team was at the Royal Bank Cup in Melfort in 1996, and his son Corwin a Terrier from 2013-2017, and Brad Thompson who played for the Terriers the year they won their first league championship and son Taylor Thompson 2011-14, and Grant Ottenbreit a Terrier in the mid-1980s, and son Turner a Terrier in 2014.

Former Terrier stand out and head coach Ed Zawatsky and son Alec also both played with the team.

In Tresor’s case he is a goaltender, his father Scott Wotton was a left wing who played two seasons with the Terriers including the 1990-91 season when the Terriers participated in their first national championship tournament.

The then Centennial Cup was held in Sudbury, ON, where the Terriers went 3-1 in round robin the only loss 5-4 in OT to Vernon, who they then met in the championship semi finals.

The Terriers lost again to Vernon 7-5 in

It was a really great experience to go out on the ice and experience all the fans.

— Trevor Wotton, Yorkton Terrier the semi, with the Lakers moving on to defeat the Sudbury Cubs in final.

Whether a trip to the national championship awaits Tresor is to be determined but for now he is just happy to be with the team his father played for.

“I was definitely excited to get a chance to play here like Dad did,” he said. “. . . It was a really great experience to go out on the ice and experience all the fans.”

Father Scott is happy to see his son following in his skate tracks.

“It’s pretty cool . . .

It’s a little more nerve wracking but exciting at the same time,” he said, adding “it’s good to see the organization and the league still growing strong.”

As a hockey Dad Scott, said it’s important teams like the Terriers and leagues such as the SJHL exist because they provide a lot of opportunities for young players, much as they did for him.

When he looks back, the trip to the championship was of course the highlight of his time as a Terrier, said Scott, who added it was also his greatest disappointment.

“I remember the final. We were the first place team and lost to the fourth place team,” he said, adding he recalls a shot that hit the post at the back of the net and bounced out that the officials missed that could have been a difference maker for the Terriers.

Tresor said the entire atmosphere of being with the Terriers is made that little more special because they are experiences he now shares with his father.

So did Tresor grow up on stories of his Dad’s days with the Terriers?

“Not a whole lot, but a little bit,” said Tresor.

Of course Tresor sees the game in a different way than his Dad as he

guards the net rather than patrols the offensive zone as a forward.

“I liked the idea of getting to be on the ice

all the time,” said the Foxwarren, MB. product.

So what advice does Scott have for his son as a Terrier?

“Have fun. Work hard.

Play like it’s your last game all the time and enjoy the experience,” he said.

Saskatchewan residents and visitors may fish any provincial waterbody that has an open sport fishing season, without buying a fishing licence.

“More than a quarter of a million anglers fish our province’s waters each year,” Environment Minister Warren Kaeding said. “Ice fishing is a favourite pastime for many Saskatchewan residents. Free Fishing Weekends are a great time for visitors or new anglers to give it a go if they haven’t had the opportunity.”

A great way to enjoy

the outdoors with friends and family, it’s important to note that Free Fishing Weekend can only be enjoyed on provincial waterbodies - outside of the national parks.

During Free Fishing Weekend, all regulations apply, including possession limits and reduced limits on some waterbodies. Anyone planning to transport fish out of province must have a valid Saskatchewan angling licence.

Remember to put safety first when going out on the ice. Before you leave, always tell someone

where you will be fishing and when you plan on returning. Dress for the weather, as frostbite can happen very quickly. Use caution and be aware of ice thickness before travelling on it. Water does not freeze uniformly and is unpredictable. For walking, ice needs to be 10 cm (four inches) thick and at least 30 cm (12 inches) for light vehicle travel.

The Yorkton Terriers hosted rival Melville in Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League action Saturday.

Terriers have busy week in SJHL

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Terriers had a busy week, playing four Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League games.

After all the action the Terriers sit with a record of 22-20-1-6 for 51 points good enough for second spot in the SJHL’s Viterra Division, well back of front running Estevan with 76 points. Melville is third in the Viterra with 41-points, followed by Weyburn with 27.

The Terriers were in action in an early start in Nipawin Sunday, where a bevy of goals were scored in the opening period of the contest.

Clay Sleeva of the Terriers was first to the scoresheet scoring only 1:57 into the opening period.

Alex Johnson responded with a goal to tie the contest at 6:22.

Yorkton nosed back ahead at 8:31 with a goal from Zach McIntyre.

The Hawks again tied things as Braxton Buckberger scored at

17:02.

Moving into the middle period Nipawin went ahead with the only goal of the frame, a marker by Cole Beamin at 4:29.

It took most of the third but the Terriers would find the goal to tie the game 3-3, as Sleeva potted an unassisted marker at 18:12 for his second of the contest.

The game headed to overtime, where neither team could find the gamewinner.

In the shoot-out the Hawks would score the winner to finish a 4-3 victory for the hometown fans.

Tresor Wotton was in net for Yorkton facing 31-shots, while Chase Hamm guarded the twine for the Hawks facing 33-shots.

Highway #10 action The latest edition of the Highway #10 rivalry took place at the Westland Insurance Arena Saturday.

The hometown Terriers jumped ahead of the visiting Melville Millionaires on goal by

Karsten Kruska at 12:36 of the first period. The goal was assisted by Steven Norum.

The tandem reversed roles at the 15:34 with Norum scoring and Kruska assisting to give the Terriers a 2-0 lead in the contest.

In the second the Terriers made it 3-0 on a rather unusual goal.

Colby Vranai would notch a short-handed goal on a penalty shot.

And that would be it as the 3-0 score held through the remainder of the game.

Kael DePape was in net for the Terriers earning the shut-out stopping all 26-shots fired his way.

Jared Thompson started in goal for Melville but left with an apparent injury after facing 14 shots and allowing two goals, with Alex Giroux playing the final 42:09 facing 22-shots.

Road shoot-out The Terriers were in Kindersley for action against the Klippers last Wednesday.

The home team scored

Which car seat is best?

Proper installation and use of infant and child car seats save the lives of children every year. It is important to use a car seat that fits your child’s height, weight, and development for every ride. Always follow the instructions in your car seat and vehicle manuals. The information below can help you decide which car seat is best for your child.

An infant seat is a rear-facing only seat that many parents use from birth (minimum weight 1.8 or 2.3 kg, 4 or 5 lb). It has a base that is installed in the backseat of the vehicle, and the carrier attaches to it. It has a handle that allows the seat to be carried outside of the vehicle with the child in it.

Convertible and 3-in1 car seats rear face, forward face, and sometimes convert into a booster (3-in-1). Often, these seats can rear face from 2.3 to 18 kg (5 to 40 lb) or more. These seats stay in the vehicle, and the child is carried or walks to the vehicle. A

rear-facing car seat must be used until a child is at least 1 year of age, 10 kg (22 lb), and can walk.

Some models require a child to stay rear facing until at least 2 years of age. Waiting until your child outgrows their rearfacing seat before moving to a forward-facing seat is the safest way to travel.

Most forward-facing seats can be used when a child is at least 1 year of age (some require 2 years), 10 kg (22 lb), and can walk. Forward-facing seats have a maximum weight limit of at least 18 kg (40 lb), with many models allowing for a child up to 36 kg (65 lb).

Combination car seats can be used forwardfacing and can convert to a booster, but do not have rear-facing capabilities.

A booster seat should be used after a child reaches the maximum weight or height of their forward- facing car seat.

Most booster seats can be used when a child is at least 18 kg (40 lb), with some stating a minimum age for use (e.g., 4 years).

It is law in Saskatchewan that children must use a car seat/ booster seat until age 7, or until they weigh 36 kg (80 lb) AND stand 145 cm (4’9”) tall. A booster seat should be used until the child fits the adult seat belt properly (usually between 8 and 12 years of age).

Booster seats work by raising the child in the vehicle seat, so the seat belt is properly positioned low over the child’s hips and across their chest and collar bone, lessening the chance of a serious abdominal or neck injury in a crash. Low back boosters can be used in vehicles equipped with head rests. High back boosters must be used in vehicles not equipped with head rests. Combination booster seats can convert and be used in a high back or low back mode.

the lone goal of the first period, a marker by Nathan DeGraves.

In the second period it was the Terriers turn to score the only goal of the frame. Erik Boers netted the goal.

The Terriers took their first lead of the game at 13:37 of the third on a goal

by Zack McIntyre.

The lead held until the 18:26 mark when the Klippers tied the contest 2-2 on an unassisted goal

by Tylin Hilbig.

The tie held through the last seconds of the third period, sending the game to overtime, where the additional five-minutes did not see a goal scored.

In the shoot-out the hometown fans would have reason to cheer

as the Klippers would secure a 3-2 win.

Matthew Pesenti guarded the twine for the Klippers and faced 53-shots in the win.

Kael DePape was in net for the Terriers facing 38 shots through 65 minutes in the loss.

OT victory The Yorkton Terriers played a road game against the Battlefords North Stars last Tuesday.

The Terriers jumped out to a 1-0 lead when Erik Boers scored the only goal of the first period.

The North Stars tied the contest 1-1 at 10:30 of the middle stanza on a goal by Steven Kesslering.

It was a goal by Steven Norum at 13:33 re-estab-

lished a lead for the Terriers at 2-1.

There was only one goal scored in the third period and it was by Emmett Wurst to tie the game 2-2.

The game went to overtime where Kishaun Gervais scored to give the Terriers a 3-2 win.

Tresor Wotton was in net for the Terriers facing 35-shots in the win, while Michael Harroch was in net for Battlefords facing 36-shots in the loss.

Up next The Terriers host Estevan tonight (Wednesday, Feb. 16), and LaRonge rolls into the Westland Insurance Arena Friday, with Flin Flon visiting Saturday for a rare 2 p.m. start.

Local support for rules relaxing

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The end of proof of vaccination requirements in Saskatchewan has been announced for Feb. 14.

The province announced the requirement to provide proof of vaccination or negative tests in Saskatchewan businesses, workplaces and other public venues will end Monday. eHealth Saskatchewan will continue to make proof of vaccination records and QR codes available to Saskatchewan residents for use where needed including for travel or in other jurisdictions.

The remaining public health orders requiring masking in indoor public spaces will remain in effect until the end of February.

Premier Scott Moe said it’s time to take the next step in living with COVID-19 and getting our lives back to normal.

“Proof of vaccination has been an effective policy, but its effectiveness has run its course,” Moe said. “The benefits no longer outweigh the costs. It’s time to heal the divisions over vaccination in our families, in our communities and in our province. It’s time for proof of vaccination requirements to end.”

Moe said vaccines and rapid test kits will continue to be widely accessible throughout the province.

“As we shift to living with COVID-19, there is a continuing need for personal responsibility for self-monitoring, selftesting and self-management,” Moe said. “It will be important for individuals to assess their own risk and comfort levels, and to take appropriate action if they are unwell.”

Locally, The Board of Directors of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce sent out a release Monday stating it applauded the Government of Saskatchewan’s decision to remove the proof of vac-

cination or negative tests in Saskatchewan businesses, workplaces and other public venues.

“Under these imposed mandates, businesses have incurred costs relating to verifying proof of vaccinations/ negative tests; not to mention the loss of revenue from those uncomfortable with, or not allowed to enter establishments,” stated President Marty Sveinbjornson in the release. “The Chamber is encouraged that the lifting of these mandates will be a positive step towards the recovery of our business community.

Businesses bore these costs alone with no assistance from any order of government.”

Yorkton Mayor Mitch Hippsley said he sees the move as appropriate at this time.

“I think it’s great news. It’s time . . . We have to look to the future,” he told Yorkton This Week, adding there are “consequences if we’re not moving forward. It’s time to move on.”

But, Hippsley cautioned it might not have the dramatic effect in terms of added business, or people attending events some may envision.

“Quite honestly I don’t think it will,” he said, adding the benefit of the move is likely to be more psychological than real, with people simply feeling they are freer.

As far as people flocking back to events and businesses “I doubt that,” offered Hippsley.

With the mandates now lifted, Sveinbjornson encourages residents to respect all points of view.

“Business owners understand the needs of their employees and customers. The success of their business hinges on being responsive to the needs and expectations of the people connected to the business,” he said.

Hippsley said people should remember they can continue to wear masks even after that mandate ends too, if

they feel safer doing so.

“I will at times for events,” he said.

Dr. Eben Strydom, president of the Saskatchewan Medical Association, offered a cautionary note in a piece sent to media Monday.

“Like you, physicians look forward to a day when public health measures can be lifted, but caution this should only happen when it is safe to do so,” he wrote. “We need to see steady declines in COVID cases and wastewater transmission data. Hospitalizations should drop into the low double digits, and ICUs have fewer than 10 COVID-19 patients. We are all tired of the pandemic. However, our individual and collective responsibilities remain – whether it is beating COVID or living with it. We must all do our part.”

Strydom said he understands a desire to return to more normal conditions, but the impact of the pandemic is not over yet.

“I understand the yearning of our politicians and citizens alike who want to put the pandemic behind us and leave what feels like an unending state of crisis after crisis. I do worry, however, that this reframing might diminish the harsh reality that many Saskatchewan residents continue to get gravely sick, and several others will pass away from what is in essence a preventable disease,” he wrote.

“Living with COVID may also mean that for many people in this province, the health care system may not be there for them when they need it.

Physicians are eyewitnesses to a health care system that has been stretched and strained to its limits by the Omicron variant. COVID-related hospitalizations have reached record highs. Some health workers have simply left the field and many of those who remain are tired and weary. There are situations where too few

staff are caring for too many patients due to the pandemic.

“Physicians are mindful of these impacts, which will likely take years to overcome.

We are also concerned about COVID’s long-term effects on our patients and the health care system. Patients who are waiting for necessary treatments and procedures are suffering. Physicians worry whether there will be sufficient resources in place to deliver the care patients need over the long term.”

The article stated that managing the impact of Omicron cannot be lost as we learn to live with COVID. “Thankfully, we have vaccines. They work. As our medical experts tell us, vaccines (especially third doses) are the most important intervention we have as we return to normalcy. If we have one ask of Saskatchewan residents, it is to get vaccinated, whether that is your first, second, or booster dose,” wrote Strydom.

“We ask that you protect your children by getting them vaccinated. Living with COVID will, at least for the foreseeable future, mean continuing to wear your best mask, limiting your contacts, and when sick, testing yourself and stay home.”

Residents are encouraged to continue to help reduce the transmission of COVID-19, including wearing your best mask, taking advantage of free rapid testing, regular handwashing, staying home when ill and getting vaccinated, including your third/booster dose as soon as you are eligible.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) was more direct in condemning the province’s decision to lift proof of vaccination requirements.

“Moe has stripped away the paltry protections that were in place in our schools. It is completely unacceptable and shows this government’s total lack of regard for students

and staff,” said Rob Westfield, chair of CUPE Saskatchewan’s Education Workers Steering Committee and a facility operator with Saskatoon Public Schools in a release. “Many of our members work in close physical proximity with students – providing hands on support and guidance for students with complex needs.

The mental toll of not knowing if you have been exposed to COVID is immeasurable.

We all have loved ones who are at higher risk – whether it is small children who are not yet vaccinated, seniors or immunocompromised. We are drowning, and the government is leaving us adrift.”

According to the latest announcement by the Government of Saskatchewan, parents and caregivers are no longer required to notify schools about positive test results for the purposes of close contact notification.

“Given the current recordhigh infection rates during this Omicron variant wave of COVID-19 and high numbers of people in hospital, it is reckless for the Sask. Party government to relax safety measures in schools,” said Judy Henley, president of CUPE Saskatchewan. “Our members in the education, health care and childcare sectors are exhausted and overwhelmed trying to protect our community and deliver public services.”

“This announcement is highly irresponsible.

It removes incentives for unvaccinated people to get vaccinated. This will create more stress and anxiety for students and parents if they don’t know if other students are infected with COVID. We can’t turn a corner on the fifth wave of the pandemic, when the government is ending positive test reporting in schools and contact tracing. It puts politics over public health and the safety of students and staff,” concluded Westfield.

Another step toward Culture Plan refresh

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The City of Yorkton will be proceeding with Phase 3 of a process to refresh the Yorkton’s Community Cultural

Plan.

In February 2020 a report was presented to Council and asked for your support to start updating our 2009 Municipal Cultural Plan, explained Lisa

Washington, Manager of Community, Culture & Heritage, with the City at the regular meeting of Yorkton Council Monday.

For the initial work the City “successfully applied to SaskCulture

for a $5,000 Community Cultural Engagement and Planning Grant which was used to hire Prairie Wild Consulting for the first phase of this process, the Research phase,” she said.

In February 2021, an additional grant of $5,000 was obtained towards Phase 2 of the project.

“So far, refreshing our Community Cultural Plan has been funded entirely through SaskCulture grants,” noted Washington.

“The update of our Community Cultural Plan continues to move forward. Although there have been delays with the in-person engagement sessions due to COVID-19 restrictions, we will be proceeding with those in the form of intercept/street surveys, focus groups and larger community sessions, over the spring and summer, with rounds of internal engagement with City volunteers, elected officials and personnel throughout the year,” said Washington.

Following the Community Engagement

phase, the City will move forward with Phase 3 – developing a new Community Culture Report.

At Monday’s meeting City Administration requested a Council resolution of support, to continue with the third phase – Development of a Culture Plan – with an application to the SaskCulture Community Cultural Engagement and Planning Grant.

The grant requires financial commitment from Council in order to continue the process as it provides 50 per cent of eligible expenses, up to a $20,000 grant, explained Washington. The City’s portion has been included in the 2022 budget.

Council was unanimous in supporting the grant application and provision of the City’s share for Phase 3 of the project.

Backyards bees approved with caveats in Yorkton

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It will soon be possible to keep honey bees in your backyard in the city – if you meet an extensive list of regulations, do not live to close to a public space, have no close neighbours with a bee allergy who says no to the idea, and pay a yet undefined fee for a license.

Council made the decision at its regular meeting Monday after hearing from Allison Henderson-Hunter, and her eight-year-old son Ewan who undertook a pilot project keeping bees this past summer.

The pair via Zoom noted they had found it reasonable to follow proposed guidelines and achieved the required training, memberships and registration.

The regulations included making hives available for inspection, taking the Saskatchewan Beekeeping Development Commission Introductory Course, having a local mentor and registering with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture.

And the project was well-received in the neighbourhood, which they suggested brought us closer to our neighbours, who enjoyed watching us learn.

“At the May 17, 2021 Council Meeting, Council directed Administration to proceed with an Urban Hobby Beekeeping Pilot Project to determine if urban hobby beekeeping should be permitted under the Animal Control Bylaw,” noted Nicole Baptist – Bylaw & Safety Supervisor, with the City at Monday’s meeting.

The pilot project was capped at five residents that would be permitted to keep bees for the 2021 season.

“The City received interest from approximately five residents inquiring if they would be able to take part in the pilot project. In two of those cases, Administration went through the process of creating LOU’s and neighbour buffer letters, but residents later backed out due to the lateness in the season,” explained a report to Council.

The City also received calls and inquiries about whether residents could keep leafcutter bees, added Baptist.

Under the pilot project, there were a number of regulations that beekeepers had to adhere to, including entering into a Letter of Understanding (LOU) with the City and distributing letters to neighbours within the prescribed buffer zone, said Baptist.

“The permitting or approval process used in the Pilot Project was thorough, appeared to provide enough parameters to ensure safe neighbourhoods and if the City was to allow and regulate urban hobby beekeeping through the Animal Control Bylaw, Administration assumes we would continue with very similar requirements,” she said.

After the pilot project, “At the Committee of the Whole Meeting on September 21, 2021, Council was supportive of moving forward with Bylaw updates to have beekeeping allowed in the community,” said Baptist.

Baptist did note the permitting process was labour

intensive. Administration spent approximately six hours on the Henderson’s “permit” to keep bees between the two site visits, addressing concerns, completing the Letter of Understanding, neighbour letters, etc. She added the City could consider a permit fee to assist in covering Administration’s time.

But, also noted, “Administration is not aware of any other communities that charge a permitting fee for urban hobby beekeeping.”

As a simpler option, “Urban hobby beekeeping could also be allowed under the Animal Control Bylaw, simply by removing it from the list of animals that are prohibited, but without including rules and regulations that must be followed. There are some communities (such as the City of Regina) that have opted to go this direction,” said Baptist. In addition, “As the pilot project kicked off, Administration received more inquiries about whether leafcutter bees were permitted as well, as they’ve become more popular over the past couple years,” detailed the report.

Administration suggests omitting the permitting requirement for leafcutter bees due to the hive size difference between the leafcutter bees and honey bees, said Baptist.

The option Council chose to support unanimously directed Administration to work on an Animal Control Bylaw Amendment, including provisions to allow beekeeping (including leafcutter bees) and regulate it with permit fees for keeping honey bees.

City of Yorkton council passes 2022 budgets Calvin Daniels Staff Writer There was discussion.

The dual operating and capital budget were split into two separate motions.

But, in the end, the documents first presented in open Council Jan. 31, was approved at this Monday’s regular meeting.

The total budget increase will be 4.86 per cent.

Overall, the impact to the average residential homeowner would be roughly $8 a month.

Budget preparations were begun by the individual departments in September and October of last year.

These were compiled, analyzed and adjusted through our cooperative process during October and November, noted a report circulated to Council Monday.

During these meet-

ings, departmental budgets were reviewed, discussed, and service levels were considered in conjunction with budget.

On the operations side the budget was prepared as a status quo document, meaning the budget is estimated to provide the same level of services to the residents of Yorkton as the year prior.

However, initial numbers were not good.

Our initial budget sat at over a 12 per

cent increase in taxes required, with one per cent included in that for Capital, and the remaining towards our operating budget, said City Manager Lonnie Kaal in January.

The vast majority of the increase was related to RCMP costs, about eight per cent of the initial budget numbers.

The RCMP increase “is due to a new collective agreement signed between the Federal Government and the RCMP. This is not a process that anyone from this city, or any city, was involved in. It also did not specifically involve our local RCMP – this was a Canada-wide process that our local RCMP did not have much, if any, input in,” explained Kaal.

“It involves significant increases in RCMP salary on an ongoing basis, as well as a very significant amount of retroactive pay which will be charged to the City in its upcoming contract year.”

In the end, the budget numbers were wrangled down to what was presented in January, and again Monday as a 4.86 per cent increase, 2.36 per cent relating to RCMP costs, 0.5 per cent to a decrease in Municipal Revenue Sharing from the province, and one per cent each going to general operations and capital.

It was noted the City plans to add one per cent per year to capital as it tries to address the infrastructure deficit.

The one per cent to operating comes in a year inflation is around 4.5 per cent, noted Mayor Mitch Hippsley Monday.

As for the RCMP costs the largest portion of this is retro pay, for which the City had been saving towards in the RCMP budget for a number of years. However, what was saved has, however, fallen short, with approximately $785,000 in reserves for policing to

go towards the $1.4 million of retro pay. It was explained Monday the reserves for the RCMP accumulated over the years when staffing was not at full numbers. The salaries saved went to reserves, said Stradeski.

The increase is one the City had little input into, noted Councillor Chris Wyatt.

“We weren’t part of the negotiations,” he said.

The remaining shortfall is being taken from other reserves, primarily one established to cover costs when the City annexes land, he said, adding at present City-owned land inventory appears sufficient that an annexation will not occur in the next few years.

Coun. Randy Goulden did comment that the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association are lobbying for senior levels of government to assume some, if not all, of the back pay costs as they are onerous to municipalities.

As for the provincial funding decline, annually, the City receives funding from the province by the Municipal Revenue Sharing grant.

This comes in the form of a share of PST revenue. The Provincial Government takes a portion of all PST revenue, and allocates it to municipalities. The loss to Yorkton is $137,000.

Revenues especially on the recreation facilities side of things were hit by COVID. To offset this, the City will be using some of its COVID Safe Restart grant funding it received towards the end of 2020 to cover the lost revenue, as this was the intent of the grant. The City received $975,000 in 2020, of which $350,000 was utilized in the 2021 budget to offset expected decreased revenues. The remaining $625,000 has

been in reserve, and we are recommending we utilize $265,000 to offset the temporary revenue losses projected for 2022 such that they are not a tax increase burden for the citizens of Yorkton, she explained.

The operating budget was unanimously passed Monday.

In terms of capital dollars, the one per cent allocation is roughly an addition of $255,000, said Kaal.

This will bring the annual capital total to $4,645,000 for 2022, and as this is a two-year capital budget there is a one per cent increase for 2023 towards capital (minimum) as well.

For the 2022 capital items, the majority of these were approved last year with our 2021 / 2022 capital budget. This included the initial funding for the York Road project, an estimated $17 million project which the City will fund in conjunction with Provincial funding from 2022 to 2027, with construction starting in 2023 for the roadway, with possibly some of the drainage and ditch work in 2022.

Additional projects to 2022 include upgrades to the Gallagher Centre ice plant, which will be funded through the recreation levy that’s already included in everyone’s tax bills, as well as well as work towards a Recreation Master Study.”

Stradeski noted that the work on the Kinsmen Arena, as well as the Gallagher Centre ice plant, and the already approved Deer Park Golf Course Clubhouse do not directly impact the capital budget as they are funded by the recreational levy already being paid on properties – originally to fund work on the Gallagher Centre.

The capital budget would pass, but only barely as Councillors Darcy Zaharia, Quinn Haider, and Mayor Hippsley sat opposed.

Support for Snowarama in AZ.

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer When the sun is shining, the temperatures are warm, and snow nowhere in sight, what do you do when it’s Snowarama time?

As it turns out you simply adapt a bit, as a group of motorcycle riders did in Arizona.

Larry Hilworth said that he and Rick Bilous were chatting a few days ago in Maricopa, AZ., about how they wouldn’t be in Yorkton to ride in this year’s Snowarama.

“We have each participated in Timmy’s (Snowarama), over the years,” Hilworth told Yorkton This Week.

But, they also discussed how, because of COVID, the format for the long-running snowmobile ride fundraiser had changed to allow participants to “ride anywhere.”

Given the change in the ride format, the pair joked they should just take out their motorbikes and ride in Arizona.

They contacted Deana Jesmer at the Abilities Centre to gain approval, and she said to go for it.

But, it wasn’t going to be much of a ride with just Hilworth and Bilous and their wives, so they decided to invite some Saskatchewan friends wintering in the same area.

None of them have ever participated in Timmy’s before, but they were asked to contribute at least $150 to the pot to go on the ride.

Thirteen riders would take the invitation.

The group consisted of Rick Bilous, Teresa Bilous, Pearl J Flaman and Rudy Flaman, Harvey and Deb Aberhart, Dave and Henrietta Marshall, Kevin Hrushka, Giles and Carol Norek, Larry and Kathy Hilworth.

Before heading out Bilous gave some details to the group about Timmy’s Snowarama, the purpose, the cause and the history.

“The ride started out from our place in Maricopa,” wrote Hilworth on Facebook.

“Typically participants in Timmy’s enjoy a complimentary breakfast.

Well, we did miss that part, but I baked up a fresh batch of cinnamon

A group of Yorkton-area residents in Arizona went on a Snowarama ride sans snow. buns in lieu.”

Hilworth said initially they weren’t sure where they would ride, but then they received an unexpected invitation.

When they announced the ride on Facebook, “a friend from back in my old Melville days Patricia Gabel reached out to me to ask where our ride was planned and if we wanted to stop at Queen Valley, AZ,” explained Gabel.

She said she would

have coffee and doughnuts for the crew, added Hilworth.

So the ride headed to the Tiki Bar and Grill in Queen Valley where Gabel and her neighbor were waiting with a sign ‘Timmy Snowarama Desert Chapter.’

After lunch the riders headed over to Patti and Mark Kral’s place for after lunch refreshments and to enjoy the fantastic view from their place.

“Our

journey

then

took us through the city of Jails – Florence, AZ. and then into Coolidge where the group took another trail break and recharged our thirsts as the temp was approximately 85F and the crew was a bit dry,” wrote Hilworth.

“From there we headed to Casa Grande, for a quick fuel stop. Our journey then headed back to Maricopa.”

While it was a great day for the riders, it was a good one for Snowarama

too, as the group raised $8,500.

Hilworth said there are indications already the ride will become an annual event in support of Snowarama.

“I think given the post discussion of the group, they are already planning for next year which should be bigger and better,” he wrote. “This year was just an idea that came together and we invite anyone to join us next year.”

After this, parenting might feel like a breeze My husband has a cold this week. It is not Covid—proven by the less-than-fifty-percentaccurate Rapid swabs he performs on himself on a daily basis—but he is, indeed, quite ill.

Of course, since a sniffle is involved, he must isolate at home. As much as this impedes his moving about and living life as he used to know it, it brings to my mind the many young parents who have enjoyed so much of this fun over the last two years. So, in the spirit of the empathy I feel, I must give a ‘shout out’ to all the parents whose children remain at home.

I imagine it thus— the alarm rings and you stumble into the bathroom before SIX AM, knowing you have limited time to pack the lunches, bags and needs for your entire family before forcing them all awake, cramming breakfast down their gullets and piling them all into the car. You either drop the smallest ones at the sitter or they whine in the backseat while you take the older ones to each school they belong to. But wait! Someone has forgotten their mask!

Groan. You rummage in the glove box, or even search the floor of your SUV, for anything resembling a face covering but soon realize that you are doomed to race home again, before going to work (whether at home or your out-of-home experience) to carry on the busy life you recognize as your “new” normal. The day speeds by and as excit-

ing as it feels to end your day of work, you sigh … because you know that realistically, your jobs are not nearly over.

It’s evening now.

You’ve fixed dinner and bathed all the bodies you’re responsible for.

The littles are finally tucked in and you “journal” what you must for each child (wishing you could write what you really think), eventually stuffing those into the appropriate backpacks for the next day. You dare to think that you might fit in twenty minutes of relaxation but since you verbalized that, your phone immediately rings and vibrates … to the tune of Jaws. For the third time in as many months, someone in your abode has been deemed a “closecontact”. Oh goody! You scramble, making calls and arranging work and school schedules like a pro. Perhaps you cry a little, thinking of another daunting stint of teaching the kids at home, but that’s nothing compared to navigating the confusing rules involving which of your children can now attend which activity and who cannot. Your boss is unimpressed (this may be you), as is whomever cares for your children (this may be you too!) because now that person must phone everyone who all of you have even dared to say a friendly hello to in the last week.

(Of course, those people all receive this happy news with grins and giggles as well.) You carry on for the next days or weeks, isolating or lim-

PATTIE JANZEN

Laugh at Life...

Revisited iting your family’s outings to whatever Public Health instructs at that moment, and just when you’re nearing the end of the viral incubation

time, there’s a “positive” on one of the kids’ rapid tests. Immediately that child is punted into his or her bedroom, to recuperate from something

that may or may not produce any symptoms at all.

This child may only have human interaction in the form of a parent throwing the occasional foodstuffs at them, through their bedroom door, at appropriate times during the day.

I hear my husband, sneezing and coughing in the recliner across the room from me now (I had this last week so I’m livin’ large with my antibodies over here), and I do feel an element of sympathy for him. But although

we’ve felt the sting of isolation, and some pandemic rules have been inconvenient, compared to many young families, we haven’t suffered at all.

As exciting as it may be for me, leaving behind some of the rules and regulations surrounding all things pandemic, I cannot imagine how much more-so for so many of you courageous, compromising and resilient young families.

Kudos to all! After this, parenting might just feel like a breeze.

Piadina is a close cousin to traditional pizza that is made from unleavened dough. The dough is grilled for a few minutes and then filled with ingredients and enjoyed as a flatbread sandwich. This version of “Piadina Neapolitan” from Craig W. Priebe and Dianne Jacob’s “Grilled

and press the dough for about 8 minutes. The dough will change and soften, and become more elastic. Lightly oil the ball of dough with olive oil. Wrap it in plastic and let it rest about 30 minutes.

Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll them into rounds about 8 inches in diameter.

•2 Tomato Piadina rounds •4 slices fresh mozzarella •6 large basil leaves •4 slices tomato •Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper •2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle until it is extremely hot. Lay the dough rounds on the hot surface. Cook for about 1 minute, or until bubbles form on the surface. Lift the piadina with tongs to check doneness. Turn the piadina over and cook for another minute, until the bottom is light brown.

Place each piadina on a plate. Lay 2 slices of mozzarella on one side of each piadina. Add 3 basil leaves and 2 slices of tomato. Season with salt and pepper, then fold in half. Brush the top of each piadina crust with olive oil.

Return the piadinas to the skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place each piadina in the pan, oiled side down. Brush the top halves with olive oil.

Press down on the piadinas with a spatula while they cook, about 2 minutes. Turn the sandwich over. It should be golden and crisp on the outside. Continue pressing down, about 2 minutes more, until the cheese inside is melted.

Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
