Date Night included a great meal and wonderful entertainment.
Date Night fundraiser for Kamsack swimming pool expansion a success A fundraising event hosted by the Kamsack Rec Board was recently held at the OCC Hall in Kamsack. On February 14, around 180 guests attended Date Night and just over $16,000 was raised in support of the Kamsack Swimming Pool expansion, according to Shanley Allard, Recreation Director for the Town of Kamsack. “We couldn’t be prouder of our community for coming together to support our event! The Rec Board put in countless hours preparing for Date Night, so its’ success is definitely a pat on the back to each of our
members!” Date Night consisted of a 4-course meal and entertainment by the Canadian duo of Brian Burn and Jamie Mahn, who go by the name Burn ‘N’ Mahn. They performed their interactive all-request piano show, The Dueling Pianos Extreme, and really had the audience captivated. They took requests from the audience and played everything from hard rock to country music. The feedback on the entertainment was nothing but positive. They really put on quite a show, complete with laser lights and an assortment
of different instruments played. The performers were “very impressed” with the support from the Kamsack audience and donated all their tips from the show, a total of $750, to the swimming pool project. “The elegant fourcourse meal was prepared by Darrell Lomenda,” Allard continued. “It boasted of mouth-watering appetizers, a specialty strawberry spinach salad, followed by a delicious saltimbocca chicken, seasonal veggies and rice pilaf, topped off with a raspberry caramel cake.
The meal was definitely a treat!” Darrell spent countless hours and donated all his time in preparing the meal to help with the fundraiser and it was a huge factor in the success of the evening. “A few of our past lifeguards and community members volunteered their time to help serve and everything ran smoothly. “The event included a silent auction table, with many prize donations from local businesses” she said. “It was great to see businesses and commun-
ity groups pull together to help us fundraise for the swimming pool.” The 50/50 draw winner was Dana Grieve, who took home $715. The evening offered Safe Rides home with the help from SGI and the members of the Kamsack Volunteer Fire Department. “Date Night was a very successful event and we have to applaud the support we received from our community coming together to help raise money. We are making progress on reaching our fundraising
goals and that would not be possible without this tremendous support. The goal is to have the “new” swimming pool open for the 2020 season and a large portion of that expansion paid for by our fundraising dollars,” Allard concluded. The Kamsack Rec Board also launched the Dive In Campaign at the end of 2019, when it was announced that an expansion to the existing pool was underway. To learn more or make a donation, please visit the Town website at http://www.kamsack. ca/dive-in.html.
Nominations are now open for the Premier’s Service Club Award The Government of Saskatchewan is accepting nominations for the 2019 Premier’s Service Club Award. Since its establishment in 2013, the Premier’s Service Club Award has recognized the dedication and charity of the prov-
ince’s service clubs. “Service Clubs are an integral asset to our province,” Premier Scott Moe said. “Their efforts make a substantial impact on our communities. Through their philanthropy, Service Clubs provide many indi-
viduals and organizations with resources and assistance which not only enrich lives, but also contribute to the continued success of Saskatchewan.” In order to be eligible for the Premier’s Service Club Award, nominated
groups must be voluntary, non-profit service clubs or fraternal organizations where people meet regularly to fundraise for other organizations. Their mandate must better the lives of the people of Saskatchewan.
This award does not recognize individuals, and service clubs cannot selfnominate. The nomination deadline for the award is April 15, 2020. Groups selected to receive the Premier’s Service Club Award will be presented
their awards at an event in their home community in 2020. To nominate a group for the Premier’s Service Club Award, or for more information, visit www. saskatchewan.ca/honoursawards.

For over 30 years this award has been given out in recognition of individuals who have dedicated an outstanding contribution to their community through public service in the community groups and local government. In the nomination, Gillespie indicated that Becenko has been involved in spearheading the Citizen’s Ring Awards, which yearly entails hours of work preparing paperwork and involving the media, closest towns,

Pink Shirt Day at Kipling School Courtesy of The Kipling Citizen February 26, 2020, marked the annual Pink Shirt Day in which Kipling School students and staff took part in. The event is an antibullying campaign that addresses the issue of bullying in schools and communities across
Canada. Seventy-five per cent of Canadians report having experienced bullying in their lifetime, and rates of bullying in Canada are higher than they are in two-thirds of OECD countries. Involvement in bullying is linked to various health problems, including anxiety, depression, physical pain (head-
aches, stomach cramps, etc.) and eating disorders. Raising funds for antibullying initiatives is one of the primary goals of Pink Shirt Day, but building awareness about bullying in all its forms and how it can be prevented is also an important objective.

Dr. Melissa Morgan is a choral conductor,
educator and performer. Currently, she directs the choral program at the University of Regina where she also teaches courses in choral conducting and vocal diction. She is frequently asked to appear as a clinician, adjudicator and guest conductor throughout Canada. Previous to her appointment at the University of Regina, Dr. Morgan was the Pfeifer Memorial Chair of Music at Luther College High School where she was responsible for the Luther College Senior Choir, the auditioned choir AVE, the String Ensemble, the Luther Band, and the IB music program. Her choirs have performed at a variety of events including Association of Canadian Choral Communities Podium Conferences,
RRSPs are only about the future CHRISTINE IBBOTSON
Dear Jason – RRSP Saver! RRSP loans are tricky and I’m afraid they are indeed only for the purpose of a future RRSP investment. All Tier 1 banks in Canada have RRSP loans and will encourage you to take one to maximize your contributions at this time of year. The first payment on the loan is usually deferred in order to provide clients the opportunity to use their tax refund to lower the outstanding balance. Payments for the loan must be completed within one year and therefore are not like a typical loan that you can pay over a 3 to 5 year term. Most banks will offer a special discounted rate for your new RRSP loan which will be better than other loan options. As far as getting the funds, the banks will ensure the money is directed into a registered investment account, (mostly likely within their bank) and you will not have access to these funds to use for anything other than a true RRSP investment. There are many people who choose to use RRSP loans every year to increase their future savings and it is indeed a good idea. It forces you to pay off the loan within the year, similar to you setting up a monthly savings program. The only drawback to contributing
showcase concerts at the Rocky Mountain Music Festival in Banff, the installation of the 22nd Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan ceremony and at Lincoln Center in New York City. Dr. Morgan was also the founder and artistic director of the Prairie Chamber Choir. Under her direction the Prairie Chamber Choir won second place in the National Competition for Canadian Amateur Choirs chamber choir category. The choir released Wake the Grain:Choral Art Music from the Prairies, a recording to celebrate and honour composers from the Prairie region with a hop to encourage and support new Canadian music. Throughout her education she has had the privilege of studying with exemplary teachers. She is grateful to have worked under the supervision of Dr. Hilary Apfelstadt, Dr. Victoria Meredith, Kathryn Laurin, and Diana Woolrich. Dr. Morgan holds a Doctorate of Music Performance in Choral Conducting from the University of Toronto, a Master of Music Performance in Choral Conducting from the University of Western Ontario, a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Music Education from the University of Regina. She is also an Associate of the Toronto Royal Conservatory of Music (ARCT) in piano, voice,
and flute. In October 2017, Dr. Morgan was named as one of CBC Saskatchewan’s Future 40 under 40 recipients.
Janet Gieck grew up surrounded by rural Saskatchewan culture and landscape, a fact which has profoundly affected her musical output. After completing music degrees from Prairie Bible College (Three Hills, AB) and the Royal Conservatory of Music, she has had her compositions performed at many concerts, New Music Festivals and on CBC radio. Her pedagogical compositions are now listed on many different syllabi across the country. Passionate about sharing music with those in her community and beyond, Janet is a member of the Alliance for Canadian
New Music Projects, the Saskatchewan Registered Music Teachers’ Association (currently serving as president of the Swift Current branch), and the composer’s collective Red Leaf Pianoworks. Currently, Janet works as a member of the fine arts department at Millar College of the Bible in Pambrun, SK where she lives with her husband and three children. She is also in demand as a piano teacher, adjusicator and clinician.

this way, is you generally apply the full lump sum to your investment portfolio every year and typically purchase stocks, bonds or mutual funds at whatever the price is when you make the contribution. This runs the risk of purchasing stock at inflated prices and negates the effects of borrowing to invest. There have been many studies over the years that show lump sum investments tend to not be as advantageous as making a monthly contribution and taking advantage of dollar cost averaging. Dollar cost averaging is when you invest on a regular basis, say every two weeks or every month, the same amount, into a stock portfolio. This continuous investment strategy is designed to reduce the volatility of the stock market prices and has been proven over time to lower your total average cost per share of your investment. Whatever you choose to do Jason, it is great that you are saving for your future. Good Job! Don’t forget to be also saving into your TFSA since this is a true tax-free investment. The maximum contribution to your TFSA this year is $6,000 and the total contribution is $63,500. Good Luck and Best Wishes, Money Lady

PINK Continued from Page A5 Shirt Day tee or other merchandise is one way to show support for the cause. Placing a donation with the organization and sharing related material on social media are other possibilities. WHY PINK? Pink Shirt Day has its roots in events that occurred in a Nova Scotia high school in 2007. One particular student was bullied and slandered with
homophobic remarks for wearing a pink shirt to class. In response, two of his peers — Travis Price and David Shepherd — organized the student body to take a stand against the bullying. They purchased pink shirts and distributed them among their classmates to wear as an act of solidarity with the bullied student. From 2008 onwards, schools across the country have followed suit with their own campaign.
Government increases ministerial transparency The Government of Saskatchewan has announced that in-province ministerial travel and expense reports will be publicly disclosed on a quarterly basis beginning in the fiscal year 2020-21. The current bi-annual public disclosure of out-ofprovince ministerial travel and expenses, a measure introduced by the current government to increase transparency, will now also be posted on a quarterly basis. “Our government values the hard earned tax dollars of Saskatchewan people,” Premier Scott Moe said. “While we have previously taken steps to decrease travel costs and increase transparency, we feel it is necessary to continue these efforts to ensure the public knows how tax dollars are being spent by government ministers as they travel across the province.” The increased transparency measures accompany a number of steps the government has taken to reduce ministerial travel expenses. These measures include a 53 per cent reduction in travel costs in 2018-2019 compared to the last year of the former government in 20062007, and the shutdown of Executive Air, the former government-owned air service, for an annual savings of $1 million. Along with the implementation of new public disclosure of in-province ministerial travel and expense reports in the
new fiscal year, monthly expense reports for in-province travel and expenses incurred by the Premier in the 2019-20 fiscal year to date were also released. The quarterly proactive disclosure of in-province ministerial travel and expense reports will include monthly reports consisting of the following information: • An itemized account of in-province charter and commercial flights; • An itemized account
of meals expensed by a Minister, including breakfast, lunch, coffee, or dinner meetings; • Total accommodation expenses; • Total ground travel expenses; and • Total meal per diems. Public disclosure of ministerial in-province and out-of-province travel and expense reports will be posted at https://www. saskatchewan.ca/government/budget-planningand-reporting.

River Ridge branch recognized at SWF provincial convention Courtesy of The Canora Courier At the 91st annual Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF) Convention held in Weyburn, the River Ridge branch of the SWF received a plaque in appreciation of donating $60,000 to Habitat Trust. The majority of those funds came from donors in Canora and the surrounding area, according to Kathy Thomas, president of River Ridge. Accompanied by her husband Hal, Thomas accepted the plaque at the convention which ran from February 20 to 22. Thomas said the theme for the convention was, “Ensuring Our Outdoor Heritage Legacy,” with delegates in attendance from across the province. One of the main topics of concern at the convention was Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). She said it seems to be becoming more prevalent, with occurrences in about half of Saskatchewan. As of February, 3,561 samples had been processed with 478 testing positive, including: 379 mule deer, 78 white-tailed deer, 5 elk and one moose. The convention was told that no invasive mus-
sels or other aquatic invasive species have been found in Saskatchewan so far, but the number of checkpoints will be increasing in the future. Anglers were reminded to “clean, drain and dry boats” before leaving a water body as a preventative measure. SWF continues to advocate for firearm rights. Gil White, provincial firearms chair, was able to secure a meeting with Senator Denise Batters to express opposition to Bill C-71, but the bill eventually passed, with the support of three senators from Saskatchewan. SWF shifted its focus to the federal election, working to see a new government elected that “recognizes and values the law-abiding firearms community.” The Liberal government was re-elected, but Ralph Goodale, the Regina Liberal MP who introduced Bill C-71, went down to defeat. SWF has taken over operation of the Fort Qu’Appelle Fish Culture Station. It was reported that the first stage of upgrades, which included improvements to the aging water infrastructure, drain line and raceways for breeding stock,
use a compass, tie knots and more. Organizers report they are adding and expanding programming every year.
During the annual Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF) Convention in Weyburn on February 20 to 22, Kathy and Hal Thomas accepted a plaque on behalf of the River Ridge branch for having donated $60,000 to Habitat Trust. The presentation was made by Clark Schultz (left), SWF president. Thomas is the River Ridge president. were completed without any major issues. The next phase of upgrades, which will likely include walleye rearing ponds to bolster overall walleye stocking numbers, will take place as capital becomes available. The 2019 annual walleye spawn camp yielded significantly higher numbers of fry for stocking
than in 2018. A total of 10 million walleye fry were hatched and released into 53 waters across Saskatchewan. For the trout program, the target numbers were met and approximately 500 trout of five varieties (lake, rainbow, brook, tiger and splake) were stocked into close to 100 waters.
Thomas said she was pleased to see the continued success of the Youth Conservation Camp, where River Ridge provides sponsorship for local campers. A total of 63 campers took part and learned how to canoe and kayak, fish, build fires, throw axes, build shelters, cook outside, identify and use plants,
The Fish in Schools (FinS) program continues to grow, with 38 schools enrolled this year. The program provides Saskatchewan students with a firsthand look at fish and aquatic habitats in their own classroom. The program involves raising trout from eggs to fry before releasing them in a provincially stocked waterbody. In January/ February, eyed trout eggs are placed into special classroom incubators. Over the following three to four months, students care for their fish by monitoring and maintaining the conditions required for their trout to thrive. In May or June, the trout are ready to be released by the students. The cost of initial setup is an estimated $1,500, which the school or SWF branch are responsible to cover. Now that the convention has been concluded, Thomas said the River Ridge branch is planning its 31st annual banquet and awards night, scheduled for March 7 at Rainbow Hall in Canora.
Cardinals executive planning promotions By now, most people have heard the news about the Yorkton Cardinals being disqualified from acquiring a lotto license to fund raise during their season leave of absence from the Western Canadian Baseball League in 2020. While this doesn’t prevent the Cards from raising money, it does remove the action of gambling as a possibility to fundraise and gambling is the quickest and fastest way to raise money in larger amounts as opposed to steak nights, yard sales, and barbecues. I should point out that it’s not the fault of the Sask Party government as there are rules
in place to guard against money laundering and I note that the proceeds raised are forbidden to be used to pay off past debt, but I do wonder about past Saskatchewan Roughrider lotteries where the team was in a financial hole and somehow managed to climb their way out through some successful gambling promotions. I’m not saying they were used for it, but I’m sure having that income available was a nice help. Perhaps I read Calvin Daniels’ article with the wrong tone in mind, but I also sensed a great lack of empathy from our local MLA when it comes to the

to move them into a ‘value added’ situation where you spend some money and it’s worth your while in the form of prizes or something else. Nevertheless, the Cardinals Executive does have a couple of promotions planned that shouldn’t require licensing so we will see where those go. Full disclosure, I’m the Governor of the team so I’m going to have a pro-Cardinals opinion. My goal is to see to it that we get the private citizen who’s owed a lot of money paid down in a meaningful way and hopefully we can make a dent in the other debts as well but this ruling from SLGA puts some nails on the top of the coffin, that’s for sure. While on the topic of the Sask Party government, I would be royally ticked off if Premier Scott Moe calls for an early election. You will recall the idea of a fixed election date was something the Sask Party themselves promoted with great enthusiasm. Yes, the provincial election and municipal election are going to be held quite close together and yes it’s possible we
will find ourselves in a federal election campaign as well as the Trudeau government is being propped up with a band-aid which could be ripped off at any time. Nevertheless, the SaskParty campaigned on fixed dates. Stick with it. To not is simply dishonest. I’ve neglected to comment publicly on the blockades that took place right across the country because I had some fear as to how my thoughts may be interpreted because I feel more needs to be done on reconciliation with First Nations. Yet, at the same time, I can’t support what has gone on over the last month. On the issue of First Nations, I feel that absolutely no money should leave Canada for other projects, charities, or worthy causes until every single citizen here has access to safe drinking water. That’s the tip of the iceberg. The second thing I would do is enlist a group of respected First Nations leaders and tell them to go spend a year or so discussing what true reconciliation means to them and come back with a point by point analysis and we go from there. Maybe we’ve done this already, I don’t know. If we have, nothing is being done on it. We need action, not speeches that make us feel warm and fuzzy. Now, as far as the protests go, I feel it’s simple. What should have happened is you let people know that protesting in
Canada is allowed. What isn’t allowed is shutting down the country and preventing day to day business. If you want to go to your local politician’s office or Parliament Hill or the Legislature, have at it. If you want to set up outside the head office of a private company that is responsible for what is upsetting you, again no problem. If you want to go to within a set distance of where the project’s construction is occurring, I would have no problem with that either. The right to protest is important, but there has to be some limits. Speaking of protests, what would happen if 100 families in the City of Yorkton opted to not pay property taxes and demanded tax reform? What would happen if the entire city of Prince Albert withheld PST on Sasktel, SaskPower, and SaskEnergy bills for an entire year? What would happen if the entire province of Saskatchewan refused to file income tax? You can laugh, but if five hereditary chiefs can spark a movement to shut down shipping within this country, why can’t we do the same in the name of asking governments to be a lot wiser when they spend our tax dollars? Nice person mentions this week: Dave Leaderhouse, Alison MacKinnon, Terri-Ann Lepowick, Kelly McTavish, and Scott McCallum.

Sask Hockey Hall of Fame inductees By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Ted Knight Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame (SHHOF) along with the Saskatchewan Hockey Association has announced the host community and class of inductees for its ninth annual Induction dinner. This summer, the SHHOF is excited to be heading to Yorkton, on Friday, July 24th. The Yorkton Curling Rink will be the venue for this event when they welcome seven inductees and two teams that are worthy of this achievement. Those chosen to be enshrined into the Ted Knight Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame’s Class of 2020 are as follows: Builder Category: Gerry James Grassroots Category: Allan ‘Al’ Harrison (deceased), and Wayne Henley (deceased). Player Category: Kelly Buchberger, Cliff Koroll, Nicholas ‘Nick’ Schultz, and Mandi Schwartz (deceased). “We’re absolutely honoured that she (Mandi) is being honoured for some of the good things we’re doing in her name,” said her father Rick Schwartz. “It’s kind of a dream come true. We are very, very honoured that she will be remembered.” The news of Mandi’s

induction follows on the heels of another huge moment in the Schwartz family as her brother Jaden won the Stanley Cup last spring as a member of the St. Louis Blues. “The year that they had was such an up and down seasons,” said Rick Schwartz, adding that in the end the win was more special for the family as Jaden had said what he did was “all for her (Mandi).” Given that Jaden will likely one day be called to the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame, the likelihood is not lost on their father. “That would be very special,” he said. Team Category: (199293) Yorkton Mallers and (2013-14) Yorkton Terriers “It’s been a long time,” said then team member Lee Rusnak, adding the event will be rather special for the team as it will be the draw to bring them all back together again. Rusnak said the team were all basically local at the time, which helped create bonds that have endured. He noted a 20-year reunion brought 14 players back, and looking ahead to the induction
he expects most to return. “Emails are already flying around to get everything organized.” Rusnak added that since players were local, there is still family locally. “They’ll get to experience the whole thing too. That will be super cool,” he said. While the win came years ago, in the spring of 1993, Rusnak said it remains significant locally. While noting the Saskatchewan AAA Midget Hockey League has always done well nationally, it was the first national win for the Yorkton team. “And it was the only time we ever won it,” he added with a smile. Don Chesney was the general manager of the RBC-winning Terriers. He said at one point he would have wanted the call from the Hall of Fame to have come for him as a player, or a coach, but now being part of the team as general manager he appreciates how the whole team came together to win the RBC. “Getting in as GM seems to be more special,” he said. The season of course remains a highlight for
Chesney. “The biggest thing for me that season was how the whole team had put it all together,” he said. Like Rusnak, Chesney expects most of the Terriers from the winning team will return to the city in the summer for the induction. “They’re all pumped about it. They’re all talking about it,” he said. Each year the SHHOF celebrates the contributions and achievements of players, builders, teams, officials and those at the grassroots level. The annual induction dinner is rotated around the province in partnership with the Saskatchewan Hockey Association to promote the Hall, celebrate local inductees while raising
funds which benefit the local host community. Tickets for this year’s event will be available through the Yorkton Terriers box office. An announcement will be made in the coming weeks when tickets go on sale. The Ted Knight Saskatchewan Hockey
Hall of Fame opened its doors in 2012 in conjunction with the Saskatchewan Hockey Association’s 100th year celebration. The location of the SHHOF is in Swift Current at the Credit Union I-Plex. For more information, please visit www.saskhockeyhalloffame.com.

Crop insurance changes announced Recently, Federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit announced enhancements to the 2020 Crop Insurance Program. This year, Saskatchewan producers will continue to access high coverage while seeing a decrease in premiums. The Crop Insurance Program continues to adapt to the changing agricultural landscape in the province. “Our hardworking farmers have faced difficult weather throughout 2019 and we are committed to help them manage these risks,” Bibeau said. “Through the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Program, we are helping give Saskatchewan farmers the tools needed to deal with unpredictable weather, so they can continue producing high quality food for the world, while supporting our communities and livelihoods.” “We are dedicated to maintaining a strong, growing agricultural economy,” Marit said. “That is why we invest in business risk management programs to provide producers with protection against the unexpected. In these times of market uncertainty and adverse weather conditions, support through a comprehensive suite of programs is important for Saskatchewan producers.” The success of Saskatchewan’s crop production allows the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) to keep premiums low and average coverage strong for producers. On average, Crop Insurance coverage holds steady at $224 per acre, only slightly decreasing from $230 per
acre in 2019. Premiums will see a decrease to an average of $7.40 per acre, down from $8.61 in 2019. For 2020, the insurable region for soybeans is expanding to the entire province. Coverage is based on a soybean producer’s individual insured history instead of the regional average. Their experience discount or surcharge will be applied to premiums for soybean crops. Irrigation coverage is also now available. “We are pleased with this year’s improvements and the ongoing commitment toward Saskatchewan agriculture,” Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities Division 2 Director Norm Nordgulen said. “As we continue to see diversification throughout the industry, this year’s changes to soybean coverage, along with last year’s forage and weather-based enhancements, speaks to the relevancy of SCIC’s programs.” “It’s very encouraging to see the enhancement to the program,” Saskatchewan Irrigation Projects Association Chairman Aaron Gray said. “With the interest we have seen in expanding the industry in the province and the provinces growth plan including expanding irrigation by 85,000 acres in the next 10 years, changes like this help an industry to grow to its potential in Saskatchewan. Including Soybeans in the Enhanced Irrigation Program will be of benefit to irrigators. Saskatchewan irrigators can now make their decision on crop rotation based on their operations and not be penalized. Soybeans fit very nicely in an irrigators rotation. We look forward
to working with SCIC on releasing the information to our industry.” For those customers looking to return to the Crop Insurance Program, SCIC is making an administrative change. Producers now have up to seven years to rejoin the program to continue with their previous premium discount/surcharge and yields. Working with the Saskatchewan Vegetable Growers’ Association, SCIC is enhancing the Vegetable Acreage Loss Insurance Program. Insured value of vegetable crops are updated to better reflect the production costs. To allow for a longer growing season before harvest begins, SCIC is extending the fall cut-off dates. For 2020, asparagus is added as an eligible crop. For 2020, SCIC has a new approach to the Organic Option to ensure it remains relevant to Saskatchewan producers. Premiums and coverage are updated using information from organic customers. Previously, the Organic Option was based on a combination of conventional and organic crop experience. With this change, organic insured prices are higher and premium rates are lower. Average coverage is also lower; realigning to current organic risk. The impact of this change will depend upon each producer’s production experience. Organic customers are encouraged to contact their local SCIC office to review the impacts to their individual coverage. “We have been working with SCIC to ensure the program meets the needs of organic producers,” SaskOrganics President

Will Oddie said. “This is an important insurance program for our organic growers and it is now more relevant with SCIC using historical organic information.” Producers faced a variety of challenges throughout the 2019 growing season. Dry conditions challenged summer growing and wet conditions, coupled with early snowfall, delayed harvest. With approximately 1.3 million insured acres left out over winter, compensation for producers is estimated to reach $350 million in claims. Crops left out over winter are covered under SCIC’s Wildlife Damage Compensation Program. This program is available to all Saskatchewan producers; Crop Insurance participation is not required. If producers notice any wildlife damage, they should contact SCIC as soon as possible. Producers with unharvested acres must contact SCIC prior to harvest, feeding or grazing any damaged crop so it can be assessed. Ministers asked offi-
cials to change the treatment of private insurance for the 2020 program year. Private insurance revenue will be excluded when calculating a producer’s program year margin. This increases the potential for an AgriStability benefit as private insurance revenue is not factored into the producer’s allowable income. Premiums for private insurance will remain included as allowable expenses. Minister Marit reminded livestock producers, under the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program, calf price insurance policies are now available for purchase. Producers can choose from a range of coverage options every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. While Feeder and Feed price insurance policies are available year-round, the deadline to purchase a calf price insurance policy is May 28, 2020. SCIC encourages producers to review their business risk management plans annually. SCIC has 21 local customer service
offices across the province with knowledgeable staff available to discuss the insurance options best suited for each farming operation. March 31, 2020, is the deadline to select insured crops and coverage levels or make additional changes to their Crop Insurance contract. Producers need to also apply, reinstate or cancel by this date. For more information about the 2020 insurance options, call 1-888-935-0000 or visit www.scic.ca. Crop Insurance is a Business Risk Management program supported through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership. Under Crop Insurance, premiums for most programs are shared 40 per cent by participating producers, 36 per cent by the Government of Canada and 24 per cent by the Government of Saskatchewan. Administrative expenses are fully funded by governments, 60 per cent by Canada and 40 per cent by Saskatchewan. — Submitted

Madison Violet gets personal on tour By Devin Wilger Staff Writer It has been said that the most personal is the most universal, and for the folk duo Madison Violet, that is proving to be true. The duo has just been nominated for two East Coast Music Awards (ECMAs) with an album and video they call their most personal yet. They are about to set off on a Canadian tour. They will be in Yorkton on March 9 at the Anne Portnuff Theatre as part of the Yorkton Arts Council’s Stars for Saskatchewan series. Lisa MacIsaac and Brenley MacEachern are the singer-songwriters who make up the duo, and will be hitting communities where they’ve never been before, singing songs and telling stories about where they’re from and how they got to where they are. “I think as musicians we’re very lucky that we get to see a lot of, not only our own country, but of other people’s countries, probably more than most. Going to new towns, for us, it’s the most exciting to find the best local coffee shops and find all of the little gems in these towns
that the locals know about. Singing to new audiences, it’s exhilarating, because as musicians you’re always putting your heart on your sleeve, but you’re hoping to win them over. Our show is as much a concert as it is sitting around a campfire and getting to know one another,” said MacIsaac. The tour comes after their ECMA award nominations, one for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year for Everything’s Shifting, their most recent album. “We touched on a lot of topics that we found very difficult to write about over our twenty year career, being open about things that happened to us and our family members over the years. It’s a very personal record, so I’m touched that was recognized.” The other is a nomination for the Fan’s Choice Video of the Year award, which is for the video for their single Tell Me. The video represents MacIsaac and MacEachern 20 years ago, starting a band, touring the country, and beginning a relationship. “We had a lot of recommendations from industry veterans that told us we
College reaches out to the community By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Parkland College and Cumberland College are connecting with the communities they serve. The Community Engagement Meetings are across the region – from north of Prince Albert to Esterhazy – with the goal of having the college and the community work together. The meeting in Yorkton took place on Feb. 25. Mark Hoddenbagh, president of Parkland College and Cumberland College, said they’re hoping that through the meetings, the community will understand the colleges better, the college will have a better idea of where to go in the future, and to get the community’s input into that direction. Hoddenbagh said that from that perspective, the meetings have been a success so far, with Yorkton being the fifth such meeting. “At every one, people come up with different ideas... Some are the same, obviously, but there are always different ideas, so I think that’s a real sign of success.” Hoddenbagh notes that they’ve found some themes already. For one, he sees that the college needs more agriculture programming, as agriculture is the main employer in the regions they operate. He also notes that they have to develop more than technical skills, with more focus on ‘soft skills’ – things like
communication skills and work skills – so students are better prepared for the workplace. “How do we help our students prepare for the workforce before they graduate? Rather than, I graduated, I have technical skills, but I still don’t know how to work. So how do we build that in people?” Another priority the college sees is to look for partnerships as the college builds for the future, Hoddenbagh explains, as they can’t do everything on their own. The benefit of these partnerships extend far beyond the college doors. “How do we get together and build something that’s going to be world class? It’s going to say to people and students, hey, I’m going to come to Yorkton, but other people say I want to stay here, I want to move to Yorkton because they have such a great facility for my kids to learn hockey or whatever.” Colleges are part of the community, Hoddenbagh said, and these meetings are a way to get that community involved in what the college is doing. “I want to encourage our community members to keep thinking about Parkland or Cumberland depending on where you live, and to keep being there to support us, and think about sending your kids to us, because we offer a first-class education.”
Brenley MacEachern and Lisa MacIsaac are Madison Violet, in Yorkton on March 9 as part of the Yorkton Arts Council’s Stars for Saskatchewan series. had to hide who we were and hide our relationship to get anywhere in the music industry. We were young, and new onto the scene, and it was scary advice. We bought a camper van, ran down to the south and wrote a record basically in the desert. The video encapsulates that whole story, of us breaking down on the side of the road on our first road trip.
I’m honored to be nominated to be nominated in that category, especially since it was a video that was a labor of love, put together by 15 people who donated their time and so many hours of their time.” One of the songs on the album, All Over Again, concerns MacIsaac’s brother, fiddler Ashley MacIsaac, and the backlash that occurred when
he came out as gay, both nationally and at home. “Everybody’s story is different, but there are definitely still people who can relate to the difficulties of coming out.” Another song is Nobody, which talks about MacEachern having a miscarriage when they were on the road in Germany. “This is another topic so many women don’t talk
A11
about. That’s what the song is about, opening the dialog. So many people stay silent about it, and there are lot of women, and their partners who deal with it.” While they sing about some difficult subjects, and those are some of the most personal songs on the album, MacIsaac said that is not all the record is about. “There are some happy songs on the record too, don’t get me wrong!” The new music is something they’re extremely proud of, and while some of the subject were difficult to talk about, MacIsaac said that they realized how important it was to be open and honest in their music, not just for themselves, but for their audience as well. “I don’t want to say we censored ourselves, but we censored ourselves a little bit, because our parents are still around and you never want to hurt them or make them feel uncomfortable. We realized that we underestimated the strength of them, their love for us and our music, and we decided to be very vocal and very open because we have a platform and it was time for us to use it.” Check www.yorktonthisweek.com/contest to win tickets to Madison Violet.

have been giving the sport a try, and for reasons in combination from perhaps both the explicable to inexplicable, the skill level from novice to competition-ready appears to come very quickly indeed. The above having been kept in mind, then, so too would it be only a matter of time before enough players with the savvy in the region would culminate in a tournament proper. That time has come quickly, due in no small part to the efforts of one David Weiman. This weekend, in a matter of speaking, could be considered a justifiably proud moment for Weiman, who might appropriately be considered the Godfather of Pickleball. Weiman, to be sure, has done much to promote the sport in the Parkland Region through workshops held in the past year or so, ensuring that anyone wishing to play has access both to courts and expert tutelage. Further to his credit, Weiman has also spent countless hours polishing his own considerable game, in addition to devoting considerable time to keeping his own teaching, coaching and training methods up-to-date and sharp through the applicable official regulatory bodies for the sport. Now, that day has finally come, where the very first official pickleball tournament has
taken place in the region. The turnout was impressive – the court was full with numerous competitors waiting their turn to whack their ball on the court. The sport has certainly grown since last year – and the skill, intensity, and sportsmanship a wonderful evolution in a remarkably short period of time to what could in no way be considered anything other than a unbelievably successful event by any conceivable metric. “This is the city of Yorkton’s first pickleball tournament that we’re hosting. We have a wide range of registrations that came in, so we have 47 registrants for this tournament,” said Julia Schofer, Recreation Services Manager for the Gloria Hayden Centre. “Twelve teams for the men’s and the mixed, and then ten teams for the ladies’ respectively. With that we had tons of people that came from all over the province. Yorkton, Otthon, Melville, Langenburg, Foam Lake, Regina, Fort Qu’Appelle...so Yorkton is kind of a nice ‘in the middle’ location for athletes to get together without the barrier of travel, which is really nice.” Anyone wishing to get involved can call the Gloria Hayden Centre at (306) 786-1776.

YBID exec at 2020 Heritage Forum By Donna Brothwell Executive Director Yorkton Business Improvement District The theme for the 2020 Heritage Forum in Saskatoon Feb. 27th was Our Places – Our Stories that Matter. From start to finish each speaker shared their story of revitalization in one form or another. Relevant to our story here in Yorkton and attending this forum was a good learning process and to understand that many communities around the Province are and have been in the same situation. Our first keynote speaker was Dr. Ernie Walker who shared his “Tales from the Big Empty: The Incredible Story of Wanuskewin Park.” Dr. Walker is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology at
the University of Saskatchewan and holds Associate Memberships in the Department of Geological Sciences, the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology and the College of Dentistry. From growing up collecting artifacts on the sand dunes of where Saskatoon Wanuskewin Park is now to the visitors centre and Park that sits on the site is his life’s work. The journey took us from the 1970 cattle ranch, 1980 when the research began, 1983 to getting the land declared a provincial park, 1984 when he involved the First Nation, 1987 when Queen Elizabeth visited the site declaring it a National Park, to recently in 2019 bringing the bison back. The Bison are from the Joseph Yellow head heard from the 1870 lines and in 2023 the Park will be possibly declared a World designation. Dr. Walkers over 30 year journey is inspiring and no less than
a miracle. A true combination of many groups coming together to create the Wanuskewin National Park it is today. Bringing in visitors from around the world. Our next speaker was Deeter Schuring, who is the President and CEO of cSPace Projects, and his story of the King Edwards Arts Hub in Calgary reminded me of our Old Mill project. The King Edward School was built in 1912 and had two additions, one in 1950 and one in the early 60’s. It is a sandstone school and being over 100 years old and sitting vacant for over 10 years, the challenges to creating what is it today seemed overwhelming. Bringing together groups specializing in technical, urban planning and the community the blend of old building and new brought about the LEED – Certified Community and Arts hub it is today. It includes living quarters for artists, coffee
shop, rentable desks for simpler projects, areas to house events, movies, business meetings, and weekly farmers market. The project at its fruition is truly and inspiration to us here in Yorkton and how we may tackle our Old Mill. It was inspiring to just hear that it has been done and done well and is successful. Our next speaker was David Siebert, a master’s student at the school of Indigenous and Canadian studies at Carleton University in Ottawa. David was speaking on places of Faith in Southern Saskatchewan and how communities have taken old Churches and put them to use in many ways. He was followed by Robert Pajot, the Regeneration Project Leader at the National Trust, who discussed places of faith at risk. As the use of the Churches becomes less and less the challenges faced to use the buildings and keep them

up are enormous. There are an estimated 9000 faith buildings at risk of closing in the near future. How to put them to use and much similar to our Sacred Heart school story that is now an assisted living program. After lunch a panel of speakers included Kwame Neba, the Director of Industry Development for Tourism Saskatchewan, who lead the panel, Bevra Fee the Managing Director of the Non-Profit Northern Lakes Economic Development Corporation, Ryan Reiss Mayor of Vibank, and Steph Clovechok VP of Tourism Saskatchewan. Bevra Fee spoke on the revitalization of Main Street Spiritwood. Starting in 2015 Spiritwood took advantage of the SaskCulture’s Main St. Program and matched dollars from the grants to change the look of Spiritwood. Once one building was done another followed as no one wanted to be the ugly duck on the street. From changing the farmers market to a three table market to a 15 or more to creating pocket parks and walking tours for art work and a shared vendor spot in the community, her story took us along the path of small town Spiritwood and how they survive with revitalization. Although the Main St. Program is no longer it has changed to the Thrive Program and a possible source of funding for Main St. revitalization. Ryan Reiss, Mayor of the Town of Vibank shared his story of the Vibank Heritage building which today is functioning as a Heritage centre and daycare for the community. Finally on the Panel
was Steph Clovechok who was truly inspirational at telling us to share our story. She updated us on how changes to Tourism Saskatchewan are happening and we are the force for change and reconciliation. We are all in the tourism business and our heritage is our tourism. How we farm our land, how we run our businesses and how they came to be. These are the stories that are our heritage and need to be told. Who we are as a community and that Tourism will lead the way to redesigning destinations and development. Share our story and share it often. The wellbeing of our community will be driven by Tourism. Know our story and share it. Never stop sharing and again... share it often. I found Steph to be truly inspirational as our Yorkton story is something we need to share more and more and more! We are truly a “sleeping giant” as Pat Fiasco recently called us and we have it all! Tell our story and scream it from the roof tops and that will change our path. Being positive and a force to see and hear will turn the tables of our story and make us the Tiger of the East we truly are. Dr. Vanessa Mathews rounded out the afternoon with her story of how Craft Beer brewers are truly the new wave of the future and can go in almost any historic building. Places between home and work we can stop in to share our story and share a craft beer. Back Forty and Tapps are two places much like she talked about that are popping up all over the Province. Once again showing me that Yorkton has what is needed and we are truly where good things happen.
Final Open Cinema of the season set The Yorkton Film Festival has announced its final installment in the 2019 – 2020 OPEN Cinema screening program! With a focus on small scale craft brewing, our final two films will highlight the art and finer points of operating a craft brewery. “With Yorkton being home to one of the provinces own craft breweries, we saw a terrific opportunity to highlight these films in a very unique setting,” said YFF Executive Director Randy Goulden. “And that’s why I’m pleased to announce that unlike other screenings in our project so far, this one will take place on site at Back Forty Brewery to give us a truly immersive atmosphere for the screening.” OPEN Cinema will take place on Tuesday, March 10th at Back Forty Brewery starting at 7:00pm. The staff and owners of Back Forty will be on hand to talk about their own experiences in running a craft operation in Saskatchewan. OPEN Cinema regulars will have a chance to collect the next participation sticker for their passports at this event. Collect four out of the six possible screening stickers to have your passport be eligible to win two tickets to the 2020 Lobsterfest event at the Yorkton Film Festival! OPEN Cinema is presented 100 percent free of charge and open to the public.

Preeceville resident receives Western Canadian Association of Bovine Practitioners Veterinarian of the Year Award
Courtesy of Preeceville Progress This year’s recipient of the Boehringer Ingelheim WCABP Veterinarian of the Year award is Dr. Richard Krauss from Preeceville, stated the Saskatchewan Veterinary Medicine Association newsletter. Krauss received the award during the awards gala in Calgary in January. Dr. Krauss has practiced veterinary medicine for over 50 years. He graduated in the first Western Canadian Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) class of 1969. Before starting his practice in Preeceville, he worked in Ogema, Burnaby, and Weyburn. He has practiced veterinary medicine in Preeceville for the last 48 years. The focus of his practice has been on bovine medicine and surgery. Over the years, Dr. Krauss has had a dozen associates, eight vet-
erinary technicians and has mentored approximately 25 students. He has always been very passionate about veterinary medicine; more specifically bovine practice. His knowledge and enthusiasm for veterinary practice, in particular bovine practice, is remarkable, continued the newsletter. He has a grassroots approach to cattle and bovine practice which allows him to communicate with his colleagues, students and producers. He is tremendously respected in the region as a wealth of knowledge and compassion. Over the last 50 years, as the beef industry grew, expanded, and matured Dr. Krauss has educated, supported, and nurtured his clients and the region’s industry. He was a major contributor in the expansion of the cattle industry in northeastern Saskatchewan. He worked with other sectors of the industry to pull all

life to veterinary medicine, in particular bovine practice, the cattle industry and his commun-
ity, while supporting his family and is very deserving of this award. Dr. Krauss was born
in North Vancouver and moved to a mixed farm with his parents when he was five years old. The family farmed in Parry, south of Regina and he attended high school in Parry. Prior to graduating from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) at the University of Saskatchewan in 1969, he previously had worked with Dr. Harold Struthers in the Omega veterinary clinic for two summers. He went on to work at a veterinary clinic in Burnaby B.C. with Dr. John Maclain for five months and at the Weyburn veterinary clinic under the mentorship of Dr. Wally Nicholson for one year before moving to Preeceville to open his own clinic, The Preeceville Veterinary Clinic on July 15, 1970. Krauss and his wife Ivy have enjoyed being part of the community and raising the couple’s two children in a small community environment.
