Towards pretty blooms

Few things beautify an area more than flowers. And so it will be again this summer throughout the downtown area of Yorkton, as City staff are out planting flowers in various locations. The flowers are tended to, and watered throughout the season, and add to the aesthetics of the community.

Kamsack’s Trackside Garden stays in bloom thanks to volunteer group Courtesy of Kamsack Times Members of the group of about 16 volunteers who have agreed to tend to Kamsack’s Trackside Garden this season were at site Tuesday morning with hoes and watering cans in hand, lamenting the lack of rain and admiring some of the blooms nevertheless. “Look at the rosebush,” one of the gardeners said as she admired

the many pink blooms and the many more buds to open. “We like to give each plant water,” another gardener said when asked why she was using the watering can on some of the annual plants rather than the hose and sprinkler system. Using the group’s new cordless trimmer, Joe Kozakewich, positioned a few steps up a ladder, cut away overgrown vines covering the

entrance to the garden which is located near the intersection of main street and Nykolaishen Drive. “We meet Tuesdays at 8 a.m.,” Audrey Horkoff explained, adding that this was the third work bee of the season. At the other two sessions, the garden was cleaned and then planted with flowers obtained from all the district greenhouses and put in the ground in either one of the many planters or in one of the flowerbeds which were created with red, yellow, white, purple and pink themes. The garden is open to the public and is an ideal location for photos, Horkoff said, encouraging families to consider enjoying a leisure outdoor lunch at one of the picnic tables. “It is a very pretty spot and can have a calming effect on visitors. “Unfortunately, we doubt that we’ll be able to have our annual strawberry social, which in the past has been held the third weekend in July,” she said, explaining that the social was the group’s one and only function held to raise funds to keep the garden going. “We’ve had the socials for about 10 years now,” she said.

At work at Kamsack’s Trackside Garden the morning of June 16 when the volunteers grouped under a blooming lilac tree, from left, were: (standing) Joe Kozakewich, Cheryl Bear, Eileen Chutskoff, Ev Banks and Audrey Horkoff, and (front) Stella Sych, Colleen Bernard, Donna Bowes and Deb Cottenie. at the social, the group has been able to purchase the majority of the bedding plants, fertilizer, chemicals and last year, the cordless trimmer. “We don’t yet know what we’re going to do for a fundraiser this year,” Horkoff said. Included in the group of volunteer gardeners this year are: Deb and Joe Kozakewich, Vi and Rod Gardner, Ev Banks, Stella Sych, Colleen Bernard, Kathy Cooper, Deb Cottenie, Donna Bowes, Carole Dutcheshen, Cheryl Bear, Eileen Chutskoff, Audrey Horkoff, Cathy Weber and Joanne Osatiuk.

Ev Banks was among the volunteer workers admiring the copious blooms on a shrub rose plant.

Joe Kozakewich made use of a cordless trimmer on June 16 to cut away unwanted growth at the entrance to Kamsack’s Trackside Garden.

Special pot stove returned to Sturgis Museum Courtesy of Preeceville Progress The Sturgis Station House Museum had received a special donation of a potbelly stove from Ken Toy in 2018. The stove had belonged to his father Jack Toy who had operated The Northern Café in Sturgis from 1949 to the early 1970s. The stove had previously sat in a corner of the museum prior to being refurbished by Manny and Effie Silveira of The Prairie Cricket Antique Shoppe of Saltcoats. The stove, after being refurbished, was delivered back to the museum on June 18. The following recounts the historical story of the stove and the store submitted by Ken Toy, son of Jack Toy. The Northern Café in Sturgis was rebuilt after a fire, about the year 1936, and subsequently rented out to Chinese proprietors, according to the Sturgis History book, Harvest of Memories. It is possible that this was when the potbelly stove was first brought in. Jack Toy (Toy Yuen Jack) had immigrated to Canada in 1919, at the age of 14. He returned to China several times, to visit his family and

to dutifully marry, but his wife Louie TooHoy was unable to join him for many years because of the Canadian government’s Chinese Exclusion Act. Jack, along with bachelors Jim Toy and Gue Toy took over the Northern Café restaurant in 1949. The upper story of the building provided living quarters for the men, and other rooms were rented out to boarders. In February of 1954, Toy Louie TooHoy (locally known as Mrs. Jack Toy, or simply Mrs. Toy) and their son, Kenny, ﬁnally arrived in Sturgis from China, completing Jack’s family structure. Kenny, not speaking a word of English at age 7, was immediately enrolled into the school system in the fall and began his education. In about the year 1957, due to disagreements between the three partners, Jack Toy decided to sell his share back to Jim and Gue and followed his dream of a solo interest in a business in Kelwood, Manitoba and the family moved to that community, setting up another restaurant there. The year 1962/63 saw Jack and his family move back to Sturgis and take over the Northern Café

The Sturgis Station House Museum had previously received a special donation of a potbelly stove from Ken Toy in 2018. The stove had belonged to his father Jack Toy who had operated The Northern Café in Sturgis from 1949 to the early 1970s. It was recently refurbished and restored back to its original state.

solely, when Jim and Gue decided to retire “back to the old country.” By this time, Kenny was old enough to do the chores and for the next few years, he was charged with hauling water from the town well, splitting wood for the kitchen stove, and bringing in the coal for the potbelly stove to heat the café during the long cold winter months. It was approximately 1966 that Jack ﬁnally hooked up to the town water system and the luxury of indoor toilets. Until then, customers had to make a trip to the outhouse at the back. Kenny was then relieved of hauling water with a wagon in the summer and with a sled in the winter using 5 and 10-gallon milk cans. Jack sold groceries, fresh meat, tobacco, had an impressive array of penny candy, and was known for his ability to cook a tender steak and bake amazing pies. Menu offerings were strictly Canadian-style food. Chinese food was reserved for the family’s private dinners and shared with visiting Chinese families, most of them on special occasions when other rural restaurant owners were able to get together. Many a local resident came to the Northern Café on a cold and frigid day to visit with Jack and fellow locals. On cold days they could be seen trying to solve the world’s problems while huddled around this stove with one foot on the warming ring and hands competing for the limited space on the warming umbrella. The weigh scale donated by Ken was used by his father in the course of business. In 1968, Kenny decided to leave high school and pursue a life in the big city. He departed with a school mate in the summer of that year and hitch-hiked to Winnipeg where he eventually completed his high school and continued on to university receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Manitoba. Ken went on to join the RCMP later in life and retired at the age of 67. In 1971, Jack suffered a stroke upstairs above the restaurant. The Co-op delivery agent happened to arrive and he managed to carry Jack downstairs, get him into his delivery truck, and get him to Preeceville Union Hospital.

The Prairie Cricket Shoppe returned the special potbelly stove that they refurbished to the Sturgis Station House Museum on June 18. From left, were: Efﬁe Silveira, Stacy Wiebe, Museum curator and Manny Silveira. Jack passed away approximately one week later. His family has never forgotten the strength and compassion of the Co-op delivery man. Ken returned to Sturgis immediately. His father was buried in the Sturgis Cemetery. The business was dissolved and an auction held. Ken took his mother back with him to Winnipeg where she spent the next 17 happy years with Ken and his wife, Leslie. They returned annually, with their growing family, for a traditional observance of respect at Jack’s gravesite. When TooHoy passed away in 1988, she was buried at Brookside Cemetery in Winnipeg, and it was at that time that Jack’s remains were moved, to rest beside his wife’s at Brookside. Ken and Leslie have returned to Sturgis many times. The couple has three children. Unfortunately, several

valuable artifacts that Ken had kept aside for the family, including a large ornate cash register, had mysteriously ‘disappeared’ when he had returned to bring them back to Winnipeg.

Jack’s descendants still use several of the old restaurant utensils, which have a solidness of utility about them, and the patina of many stories, concluded the submitted information.

The Toy family who had previously owned and operated the Northern Café in Sturgis for numerous years donated a potbelly stove to the Sturgis Station House Museum. Members of the Toy family in 1954, from left, were: Jack, TooHoy and Ken.

EDITORIAL Normalizing pedophilia never right thing I recall sitting around the lunch table at work about five or six years ago and the people I worked with scoffed at me when I said we will see a day in the somewhat near future where we normalize pedophilia. I’ve seen certain instances on the news where there’s been a hint of that coming as it’s been suggested a child sex predator is actually a victim. Well it finally became official last week in Toronto when a doctor pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 16-yearold boy but a discipline panel opted to not punish the medical professional because he was ‘struggling to express his identity’ as a gay man. I can’t speak for gay men because I’m not one of them, but I can assure you if I was, my blood would be boiling with anger because we now have, on record, that it’s okay to abuse kids if you are of a certain sexual orientation. I’m assuming if the doctor sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl and said he was feeling unsure about whether he was gay or not, the defense of realizing he is, in fact, straight would not be a suitable excuse. But it is for gay people. It shouldn’t be. And gay people should be up in arms about this because it hurts their ability as far as educating those who could be labeled as a bigot. This panel decision, effectively, diminishes the seriousness of child sexual abuse as well as throwing a broad brush over gay people as being a greater risk to be a child sex predator than a straight person. I can’t say I’m too overly upset over the cancelation of brands like Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, Green Giant, or Eskimo Pie. I know nothing of the history of any of these brands and perhaps it’s overdue for a renaming of sorts. I also think, in the event that sports ever gets back off the ground, we’ve seen the last of the Chicago Blackhawks, Cleveland Indians, Washington Redskins, and Edmonton Eskimos. If that’s what it takes to make people believe we’ve cured systemic racism, then I’m all

MIKE STACKHOUSE mikestackhouse@hotmail.com

Stackhouse Soapbox for it. My guess is that you won’t see the same enthusiasm when it comes to canceling left wing universities who are named after slave traders or other otherwise evil villains. It was pointed out on Twitter this past weekend that Yale is named after a slave trader, Brown University is named after ‘often brutal’ slave traders, the founder of Georgetown supported slavery, and Columbia is named after that awful man Christopher Columbus. Imagine still being traumatized in 2020 from something that happened in 1492. We still have a lot of canceling ahead of us before we can feel good about racism being eliminated. My advice to everyone is to check and see if you live in a community with a racist name and if so, be proactive to change it. In Brandon (Manitoba), for example, Rosser Avenue is one of the more prominent streets in the city. It’s named after a CP engineer who supported slavery. There is an active campaign in Brandon to rename the street. I’ve looked into the names Yorkton, Melville, Regina, and Saskatoon. It appears we are safe and aren’t racist although there may be individual streets or buildings that may need to be renamed or burned down as we continue to more closely examine the history. If you see a structure on fire in downtown Yorkton, chances are I’m responsible but it’s all for a good cause. One of the more fundamental questions I have that always seems to go unanswered is that if Canada is such a bad place as our Prime Minister tells us that it is, why are we near or at the top of the list of countries

for people to immigrate to? Another question I have is what country is it exactly that we need to emulate ourselves after and if there is no such country, could we please get some form of a guideline so that we can see if it’s attainable without all the violence and hatred first? I get the notion ‘we can always be better’ but in the absence of something better, can’t we be happy? As bad as Justin Trudeau thinks Canada is, he’s had five years to fix it. I’d like him to point out even one area where Canadians have become more unified during his tenure. Ultimately, the end to all of this unrest as far as Canada is concerned will not be met until we break up as a nation. What is in the best interests of Quebec and Ontario are not aligned with what we want in Saskatchewan and Alberta. There’s a heavy appetite for socialism, perhaps even in communism in areas Ontario and east. That just isn’t the case Manitoba and west. Even British Columbia has significant pockets where they still wish to be a democratic society. It only stands to reason a country as big as Canada can’t be sufficiently served by just one national leader whose interests are diametrically opposed to the methods with which half of the country needs to thrive in order to make a living. I don’t see it happening anytime soon, but that’s the solution. A new nation. I’m not a Wexit guy but I don’t see national policy that helps us. Only economic devastation. Surely we will only take it for so long out here. Nice people mentions: Allan Mitchell, Tyler Slowski, Paul Moore, and Nyla Dubiel.

Reimagining streets could lead to healthier cities During the COVID-19 pandemic, cities worldwide have been repurposing streets to create more room for walking and cycling. In some, temporary measures to help people maintain physical distancing, like lower speed limits and limited car access, are providing impetus for permanent changes that prioritize healthy mobility choices over cars. Cities are being reimagined as places not just to move cars (often with a single occupant) as quickly as possible, but as places where everyone has the right to get around safely. Montreal’s plans may be the most ambitious in North America. In June, it’s adding 200 kilometres of temporary active transportation routes and reconfigured streets for cyclists and pedestrians. That’s in addition to 127 kilometres of permanent infrastructure and road network changes to increase cycling and pedestrian connections between parks and commercial and residential areas. My hometown Vancouver is temporarily repurposing 50 kilometres of road space for active transportation. I hope some become permanent. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo vowed her city won’t return to its prepandemic status quo for cars. Already committed to being cycle-friendly, the city is remodelling its core for more mobility options, barring older polluting cars from entering and adding 650 kilometres of pop-up

DAVID SUZUKI

Science Matters cycle ways. Seventy-two per cent of its on-street car parking spaces are being removed to accommodate new bike lanes. Milan, one of the cities earliest and hardest hit by the virus, is transforming 35 kilometres of streets over the summer. It’s using low-cost temporary priority cycle lanes, widened pavements and reduced speed limits to expand cycling and walking spaces. Even car-dependent American cities are taking transformation leaps. Seattle’s temporary street closures — 32 kilometres of roadway, mostly in “areas with limited open space options, low car ownership and routes connecting people to essential services and food take out” — have become permanent. Portland and Oakland are creating slow-safe street programs, modifying and closing roads to vehicle traffic. Bogota, Colombia, which prioritized nonvehicle street options decades ago, is now seeing the rewards. The city’s “ciclovía” regularly closes 120 kilometres of arterial city streets to motorized traffic every Sunday between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. During the

pandemic, weekday motor-vehicle closures have been added. The safety and health benefits of repurposing streets away from car domination are clear. During the pandemic, more and better pedestrian and cycling space allows for safe exercise Continued on Page 5

Why count canola plants? By Autumn Barnes

Multiple canola plant counts done about a month after seeding will provide a report card on the seeding operation and help with planning for the rest of 2020. Farmers and agronomists can use multiple counts averaged across a field to calculate emergence percentage and seed survival. Use the â&#x20AC;&#x153;emergenceâ&#x20AC;? tool under the Seeding Rate tab at canolacalculator.ca. Farmers and agronomists can also use these counts to determine how much care this field will need all season long. For example, if counts are below the recommended five to eight plants per square foot, all remaining plants may need extra attention to bring

them to harvest and preserve the yield potential of the crop.

How to count with a hula hoop Quarter-square-metre hoop. Use a hoop with an inside diameter of 56 cm and circumference of 177 cm which provides an area of 0.25 of a square metre. Count the number of plants inside the hoop, and multiply by four to get plants per square metre. To convert to plants per square foot divide the plants per square metre by 10. Tw o - s q u a r e - f o o t hoop. Use a hoop with an inside diameter of 19 and circumference of 60, which provides an area of two square feet. Count the number of plants inside the hoop and divide by two to get plants

This metric hoop is equivalent to a quarter square metre. With this hoop, multiply plant counts by four to get plants per square metre. per square foot. Counting with this larger hoop (instead of a one-footsquare hoop) will incorporate plants from two seed rows and give a larger sample size, helping to improve the accuracy of counts.

For other sized hoops, determine the area using the formula A=Ď&#x20AC;r2 (r= radius, Ď&#x20AC; = 3.14).

How to count with a metre stick Use a metre stick and count the seedlings per

metre of row. Take that number and multiply by 100 then divide by the seed spacing in cm to get plants per square metre. For example, 25 plants per metre multiplied by 100 then divided by 25 cm (10â&#x20AC;? row spacing) is 100 plants per square metre (approximately 10 per square foot). Do not include volunteer canola plants in plant density counts or emergence calculations. Look for blue seed coats attached to seedling root systems and avoid counting plants which are growing outside of seed rows. Many factors can cause lower-thanexpected plant counts. These can include weather factors such as wind, rain and frost, insects such as flea bee-

tles and cutworms, seedling diseases, and seeder issues such as seeding too deep or putting too much fertilizer in the seed row. While doing the counts, some scouting and records-checking can help to identify the key causes. For more details on how to do counts, including videos, and on the common causes for missing plants, please read â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plant countsâ&#x20AC;Śand reasons for lower numbersâ&#x20AC;? at canolawatch.org.

Area municipalities among those approved for MEEP

G o v e r n m e n t Relations Minister Lori Carr has announced the first 55 projects with more than $7.4 million of provincial investment are approved and can move forward under the Municipal Economic Enhancement Program (MEEP). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through investments like the new MEEP, which focuses on municipal projects and initiatives which will help

residents get back to work, Saskatchewan will recover from the devastating economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic,â&#x20AC;? Carr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is exciting to see communities taking advantage of this program by submitting a variety of projects that will improve their local infrastructure, capital assets to provide services, and ultimately strengthen their communities.â&#x20AC;?

The $150 million MEEP 2020 is a key component of the Government of Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $7.5 billion, two-year capital plan to build a strong province and stimulate its economic recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Local highlights of some the recently approved projects include: â&#x20AC;˘ Town of Bredenbury; Weeping

Tile at Community Hall Recreation/Culture/ Tourism/Sport $10,000, New Slide at Playground Recreation/Culture/ Tourism/Sport $3,000, Fire Hall Renovations Protective Services $40,467 â&#x20AC;˘ Town of Indian Head NE Road Upgrades Project: Phase 1 Local Roads and Bridges $274,521 â&#x20AC;˘ Town of Moosomin New Pavement, Curb

REIMAGINING Continued from Page 4 and easy access to necessities. It relieves pressure on roads and transit and allows frontline workers to commute safely. Many countries, including China, Germany, Ireland, the United Kingdom, the U.S. and Canada, have seen a surge in urban cycling during the pandemic shutdown. Cities are reimagining public spaces with wider, more interesting sidewalks, extended patio areas and creative laneway redesigns. Street parking spaces can be converted to outdoor dining areas, docks for bike shares or pollinator-friendly gardens. Economic recovery efforts could focus on ways for unemployed culture-sector workers and artists to animate public spaces to welcome people back. Building active transportation infrastructure is a good bet for economic recovery. A University of Massachusetts study found that for every dollar invested, bicycle infrastructure projects

create more employment and use more locally produced materials (albeit fewer overall) than caronly road projects. They can create up to 11.4 jobs for every $1 million invested â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 46 per cent more than car-only road projects. Removing cars from more roads will also help retain some of the airquality improvements weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen with plummeting car use. Pollution from fossil fuelâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;powered vehicles is deadly. Recent research found bad air causes 8.8 million deaths annually worldwide. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than the number of people killed by tobacco smoke. For those with COVID19, evidence shows air pollution increases the likelihood of getting gravely ill. As municipal governments improve active transportation options, senior governments canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ignore the need for public transit emergency operating funding. As well as being an important climate solution, well-functioning transit will be key to preventing

give municipalities the power to ban firearms in their boundaries, explained Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit. He said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a disconnect

between the provincial government strategy surrounding firearm safety and that of the federal government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We already know in

this country that we have very strict laws when it comes to weapons and firearms and transportation of firearms, and we felt this was an over-

a rush back to cars. The shortcomings of car-oriented streetscapes are being highlighted like never before during the pandemic. The health crisis is forcing cities to rethink how people get around and consider possibilities for connected, car-free cor-

ridors. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temporary solutions are pointing the way to tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthier, safer, more resilient cities that welcome everyone. David Suzuki is a scientist, broadcaster, author and co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation. Written with

Give those neglected lures another chance Unless you have far more self-discipline than I you will have trays filled with fishing lures which rarely see the water. Over the years it has become rather clear to me that fishing lures hanging on store pegs generally do a better job of catching the eyes of fisherfolk, and taking our money, than they do of catching fish as we toss them into the water. That said, a recent fishing excursion where my son and I got to talking lures, after all there

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, generally when you get to a spot, especially one you have fished previously, you reach into your tackle box for the lures that were successful in the past. They become the go-to hooks for the day. So, if you are after perch at Cutarm Creek, or walleye at Togo Bridge, you are going to opt for a pickerel jig, most likely with minnows as bait, although some will go to night crawlers or leeches. If you are at Whitesand Regional Park, a white rubber split-tail is usually a good choice. And in pike waters, the Len Thompson Perch Back, or red and white spoon are usually out of the box first for us. If the first choices

CALVIN DANIELS donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch, we then go through a sort of ritual of trying lure after lure until we catch something, or we grow weary and go home for the day. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say we are in a pike spot and our initial lures failed to entice a strike. What comes next? Well red or black five of diamonds, or maybe a black and white if we think there are leeches in the water might come next. Then there is the lady bug, or something metallic if we hope a sun glint might wake a pike, and so it goes. In the back of the

tackle box there might be old Balo hooks, weird coloured off-brand spoons, or a variety of poppers, grubs and strange looking hooks we just knew the day we saw them in the store that they would catch monsters. On a warm day where our patience holds, we take them out, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch either. We of course blame the strange hooks in retrospect, put them back in the box, further back than before, and question our sanity for ever having bought them in the first place. The go-to hooks of

course are forgiven. That they failed to catch a fish that day is blamed on the fish not being in the mood, the temperature being too hot, or cold, or the fact we wore a red shirt instead of the lucky peach coloured one that was a tattered treasure your better half may have tossed out â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but no worry you are back talking to her after three months. The reality, we came to realize, is that the off-type lures we had to have and now pay scant attention too rarely have a chance to be successful. On days fish are cooperative our go-to lures are in the water first and catching fish. You might catch on a bent bottle cap with a hook attached on the really good days â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but usually itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the standard fare you

Keeping kids safe on the farm important Since 2002, more than 157,000 children have participated in Progressive Agriculture Safety Day® events in Canada. The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) has been working with the Progressive Agriculture Foundation (PAF) to support volunteers that host these community-based Safety Days. P r o g r e s s i v e Agriculture Safety Days is recognized the largest rural safety and health education program for children in North America. Traditionally, Safety Days are one-day events featuring a mixand-match of stations that are fun, engaging, and hands-on. Stations cover everything from sun safety and recognition of chemical look-a-

likes to avoid exposure, to farm equipment safety. However, in 2020, Safety Day events may look a little different. “Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of spring Safety Days were cancelled or postponed”, says Marcel Hacault, the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association’s Executive Director. “The health and safety of children, volunteers and community members is paramount at all times, and of course that’s never more important than during the pandemic.” In lieu of in-person Safety Days, both the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) and the Progressive Agriculture Foundation (PAF) have made available resources for rural children. CASA, in part-

BILL 194 Continued from Page 5 make sense and are also easy to follow, and there are not a lot of difference between jurisdictions. Particularly with municipalities, when you’re transporting from one place to another within the province, to have different municipalities with different rules, or a large city where the firing range is across town, you would have to make your way around, depending on the road

infrastructure.” The provincial government’s strategy will instead be focused on safety and education around safe firearm ownership, said Ottenbreit. The provincial government is also appointing their own Chief Firearms Officer. Ottenbreit said that this will give them a better position to establish relationships with firearms owners in the prov-

nership with BASF, created a “For Kids” resource page on casa-acsa.ca, featuring tools like a farm safety contract for parents and kids, a toolbox talk, links on building safe play areas and the Agricultural Tasks for Youth and downloadable activity and colouring pages. The Progressive Agriculture Foundation created a Daily Learning Drop series available on Facebook and YouTube. A total of 68 consecutive drops provide timely safety and health information to teachers, parents and children in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. PAF is also exploring additional virtual opportunities for children to experience a Safety Day while at home. “Seeing the postpone-

ince, and better represent the province’s interests federally surrounding firearms. “With this change it will allow for greater administrative control when it comes to licensing, transporting, carrying and transferring firearms, following the federal firearms act. We believe it’s an option available under the act and we know other provinces are taking that option as well.”

ment of many of our spring events, coupled with the fact that more children would likely be helping on the farm during spring planting season, we took a proactive approach to continue our mission and deliver timely, hands-on safety and health messages,” says Brian Kuhl, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Progressive Agriculture Foundation. “Our goal was to help assist both parents and teachers with fun activities for children, hoping they would adopt safer practices while at home or on the farm, to combat risky behavior that can accompany curiosity and boredom.” Both CASA and PAF look forward to when inperson Safety Days can resume and encourage communities to apply for a 2021 Progressive Agriculture Safety Day. “Even though no one is sure what will happen in the future, we are hopeful that in-person Safety Days can resume as soon as it’s safe to do so,” says Hacault. “We’d encourage communities to start planning and send in an application for 2021.” Communities that would like to host a Progressive Agriculture Safety Day in 2021 can apply online at www. casa-acsa.ca/programs/ safety-days-for-children/

or call CASA at 877 452 2272. The deadline to apply is July 15, 2020. The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health and safety of farmers, their families and agricultural workers. CASA is funded in part through the

TERRIERS Continued from Page 7 Hockey League playoffs were getting under way, and the plan was off the rails. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were making good progress on this plan and were on track to see improved financial performance, when COVID19 hit. Unfortunately, while year-end financials will not be completed for another month, our accumulated deficit at the end of this season will be larger than it was at the start of the season (likely in excess of $80,000),â&#x20AC;? noted the letter circulated to Council from the club. Neufeld said much of the current predicament is tied to the pandemic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As all members of council will know, COVID-19 has had a dramatic impact on our economy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; locally, prov-

incially, nationally and internationally. It has had a significant impact on the Yorkton Terriers,â&#x20AC;? noted the report. Our play-off run was cut short. We were limited to 2 home play-off games and 2 costly road games (our opponent was LaRonge). While we will never know, we felt we had a good chance to win the series and continue with a long playoff run. Playoffs are our â&#x20AC;&#x153;gravyâ&#x20AC;? from a revenue perspective, he said. While the request to the City is significant, Neufeld said the Terriers do contribute much to the community when things are going normally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;According to a 2019 study commissioned by the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, the financial benefit of hav-

ing the Yorkton Terriers in Yorkton in 2019 was $1,401,648 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is money spent or created in the City of Yorkton by the team,â&#x20AC;? he noted. The club is a major tenant of the City of Yorkton, playing all its home games at the Farrell Agencies Arena in the Gallagher Centre and renting office space for the team, head coach/ GM and store also in the Gallagher Centre. Neufeld said the Club does not make the request easily, but the need is real. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The board of directors of the Yorkton Terriers understands that the decision to close the Gallagher Centre was not entirely at the discretion of the City of Yorkton. The decision to cancel the season was not made by the

City of Yorkton. And we acknowledge responsibility for the financial position of the club rests with the board of directors,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be noted, that in the event the team can no longer operate and is required to dissolve and/ or liquidate, all assets and liabilities of the club are assigned to the City of Yorkton.â&#x20AC;? The statement might seem harsh but Neufeld said it was simply fact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I note this, not as a threat, but to point out that the City of Yorkton is a critical stakeholder in the success of the club,â&#x20AC;? he said. The club president then reiterated the need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are making this request out of desperate need for assistance in unprecedented times. While the board of dir-

ectors has every intention of operating a team in the 2020-2021 season (provided we are allowed to), our financial situation is perilous. I assure you the board of directors are and will continue to make all reasonable efforts to continue to operate the Yorkton Terriers next season and for many seasons to come. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to see the Yorkton Terriers con-

tinue to provide opportunities for young men to play hockey, for the team to provide great entertainment to members of our community and that the economic benefits of our team continue to accrue to our community for many more years.â&#x20AC;?

Best of Festival tells the story of a teacher By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Golden Sheaf Awards have named their best film of the 2020 Yorkton Film Festival, and it goes to Mr. Berry, a profile of math teacher and tutor Brij Berry from Prince George, B.C. The film won two awards, also taking home the prize in the History and Biography category. Director Daniel Stark said that he was beyond surprised that they took home the top award, expecting that the History and Biography category would be the limit for the documentary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was amazed with that award, but to find out it was Best in Festival blew my mind.â&#x20AC;? To Stark, seeing the film win awards speaks to the impact of its subject. Berry already has made an impact in his community, but Stark is proud to see him make an impact beyond Prince George. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Berry is such a special guy, and he had such a big impact on me,

it means a lot to know that his message and what he lives for is kind of connecting with everybody, not just the people in the community or the people who have met him. I think that his message is really positive, and really important, and to find out that there are people in Yorkton who responded to it, it means a lot for sure.â&#x20AC;? The film began with funding from Telus to community stories. While trying to find a story to tell at the time, Starkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister was being tutored by Berry, and he happened to pick her up after one of her sessions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew up down the road from Mr. Berry but I had never met him. He was always this local legend, who was this guy? When I went to go pick up her sister, I got to sit in the room and see him teaching, and I thought this guy has a story, guaranteed. Once Telus asked us if we had any ideas, we pitched this Mr. Berry idea, not even knowing his story, just getting to

First ace It was a good Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day golf outing for Yorktonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dick DeRyk. DeRyk was on a round at Deer Park Golf Course when his drive on the new eighth hole on the course not only found the green, but ended up in the cup for a hole-in-one, the first on the hole that only opened a week ago. There was an interesting twist to the ace, noted DeRyk. The last hole-in-one on the old eighth hole was two weeks ago by Juanita Brown. Her husband Lorne witnessed it. Lorne was also playing with DeRyk Sunday morning, so he saw the last one on the old hole and the first one on the new hole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was my third (ace), lifetime,â&#x20AC;? noted DeRyk. The first one was 40-years ago at Deer Park. The second one came last year at a course in Kelowna, B.C. Now the ace Sunday makes it two straight years with a shot for DeRyk to tell friends about. Submitted Photo

Mr. Berry have a glimpse of him in person was enough to know there was something there.â&#x20AC;? That instinct paid off, and Stark said that his story far exceeded their expectations, and he said it was an honor just to meet the legend, let alone make a film about him. Berry himself wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hard to convince, and Stark was surprised, since he is a private person. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He kept saying he was honored by the idea

that someone would want to tell his story, and he was an absolute joy to work with. He would open up his door to us every day, he would offer us tea, cookies, food. I think he really enjoyed the process, and through doing it we became very, very close.â&#x20AC;? Stories like Mr. Berry are important to show the depth of a town and the range of people who are making an impact in the lives around them, said Stark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to tell stories about

people who are under the radar or are different from the people who you see. Especially in a place like Prince George, small towns get a reputation. These are the people who are here, these are the people who are making a difference. Mr. Berry is the perfect example of someone who, the people who come in contact with him know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hero, know the impact heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having on the community, and know the legacy heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be leaving behind. A lot of people will have an idea of what a Prince George hero looks like, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to show Mr. Berry is a hero and there are plenty of people like him.â&#x20AC;? Stark said that while he knew the documentary would be meaningful to the people who knew Berry, he said that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glad that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a story that connects to people who have never met Berry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s universal, and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to know him to appreciate his story and appreciate what he is trying to do.â&#x20AC;? Berry himself didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

know that the film had won when Yorkton This Week spoke to Stark, and he said that he was looking forward to telling him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you tell Mr. Berry the success that the film is having, he treats it like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your parent, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proud of you, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so concerned with the rest of it. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just proud of us as filmmakers and his new young friends, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take any of the credit, even though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the man behind all of the emotions, the man behind all the messaging.â&#x20AC;? Stark thanked the Yorkton Film Festival for supporting filmmakers like himself, and he said that in his trip to the city for the 2019 festival he was very impressed with the work the festival does, the films they support and the organization behind it. He thanks them for the recognition and the support the festival gives to young and rural filmmakers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would love to come back, I had a lot of fun and I feel like thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more fun to be had.â&#x20AC;?

Football season in limbo By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton Minor Football is taking player registrations to gauge interest in a season this year. But, there is still much uncertainty whether there will be a league to play in, or a facility to play at, even if the players show interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody knows whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening,â&#x20AC;? said Roby Sharpe. Sharpe said meetings are being held to discuss the possibility of a season, but at this point they are simply speculating on possibilities. As it stands now players would have nowhere to play if a season went forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to practice ... Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not even allowed in the facility,â&#x20AC;? said Sharpe, adding the minor football clubhouse falls under the jurisdiction of the Good Spirit

School Division. At present the school division, and the provincial governing body for high school sports have not determined whether fall sports such as football will go ahead, noted Sharpe, which further clouds what might happen in terms of any play this year. What is known at present is that players would face some significant changes if a season goes forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to show up in gear. There would be no changing in the change rooms,â&#x20AC;? said Sharpe. There is speculation the game might evolved from 12-man to nine-man, but Sharpe questioned how having three less players per team on the

field â&#x20AC;&#x153;is safer.â&#x20AC;? The fate of the minor football program lies outside the jurisdiction of the schools, residing under the mandate of Regina Minor Football. Sharpe said there is optimism RMF will go ahead, but that could leave Yorkton teams with a league, but no field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all speculation,â&#x20AC;? he reiterated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things change every second day.â&#x20AC;? So, Sharpe said they are compiling a list of players wanting to hit the gridiron in 2020, but are not taking fees at this time, as they await a clearer picture of rules, regulations, and authority decisions.

Golden Sheaf Awards honor Canadian films By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Yorkton Film Festival wasn’t going to let a pandemic get in the way of their celebration of the best short film in Canada. The festival went online, streaming the Golden Sheaf Awards ceremony on June 18, with 29 awards being given out to a wide range of film productions. Randy Goulden, executive director of the Yorkton Film Festival said that it was a big undertaking, especially as it was the first time they had done a completely online Golden Sheaf Awards ceremony. There were 29 presenters across Canada giving out the awards, and Goulden said that their hard work paid off. “I’m hearing from filmmakers, sponsors and partners from right across our country, and they’re very pleased that in these times that we’re living in, we proceeded with this type of an awards ceremony, and it worked very well.” The presentations were a mix of local people who could do it in person at Access Communications studios in Yorkton and those sending in self-filmed introductions. Java Post Productions, who put the whole show together, had previously done the show reels for the Festival, but this was a much larger project than usual. The hosts were filmed, safely distant from each other, in Regina. The work that goes into the Golden Sheaf Awards happens long before the ceremony itself, and that meant that the judging was complete before mid-March, making it a matter of figuring out how to hold a ceremony without being able to gather together. Goulden said that through the process they found an incredible list of films. “It was an incredible set of winners that we had. Twentynine categories, we had 92 films that were nominated out of the over 300 submitted this year. They were adjudicated by 20 different juries across the country… All of that went on before COVID struck, we always acknowledge the festival as the most rigorously adjudicated in North America, where each category is adjudicated by film professionals who sit down and watch togeth-

er and score and adjudicate the categories.” Goulden said that now, more than ever, it was important to have the chance to recognize Canadian film. “We felt that after 73 years we couldn’t stop, and not have a year of recognizing Canadian film.” There are a mix of repeat nominees and young, emerging filmmakers. Goulden said it’s a case of people wanting to come to Yorkton and get together, and that’s why you get acclaimed filmmakers like Theodore Ushev, who was nominated for an Academy Award for Blind Vaysha in 2017, making it a priority to submit to Yorkton - this year for The Physics of Sorrow. There’s also a chance to watch Canadian film this week, as the nominees and winners are hosted at www.yorktonfilm. com/2020-screenings. Goulden said it was a difficult process to ensure they had the rights to screen all the films, but they wanted to make sure the work of the filmmakers could be watched. “They’re really films from right across the format of what you can be watching, from experimental, to this year we had the very first category we had for mental health, and what a year we had to bring that forward. There were 26 entries in the mental health category, and we awarded Mum’s The Word.” The Golden Sheaf Award for Best of Festival went to Mr. Berry, from young filmmaker Daniel Stark of Prince George, B.C. Goulden said it’s a wonderful film and recommends people take the time to watch it this weekend. Goulden said that Stark was at the Festival last year, and she said that it showed how the festival supports young talent. “He kept thinking to himself, those are just incredible films, I’ll never get there. Then, he wins, so quite frankly anything is possible here.” The Ruth Shaw Award went to Humboldt: The New Season, which looks at the aftermath of the Humboldt Broncos crash and how families and a community had to recover, and is another one Goulden recommends people seek out. A third recommendation from Goulden is the Seals of

Sable, coming from returning YFF filmmakers Kent Nason and Theresa MacInnes. They won Best in Festival for Norm several years ago, and returned to the festival with the new film. Goulden said that watching the films is vital to honoring the work that goes into each one, and she’s proud of the work that the Yorkton Film Festival celebrates each year. “The creative minds that go into this process, that come up with the film themes and work it right through. Myself, I’m not creative at all and when I sit down and watch the films it just constantly amazes me the creativity that we have here in this country.” Work has already begun for the 2021 Yorkton Film Festival.

Members of Cornerstone, Horizon & Plainsview Credit Unions vote to merge The membership of Cornerstone, Horizon and Plainsview Credit Unions provided overwhelming support in favor of a merger to partner together as a single credit union to drive benefits for members, employees and communities. Voting took place through an online and inbranch vote during the week of June 15 -19. The resolution was passed with 88 per cent of the members that voted in favor from Cornerstone, 92 per cent in favor from Horizon and 94 per cent in favor from Plainsview

Credit Union. Doug Jones, CEO of Cornerstone Credit Union stated, “we want to thank all our members for the participation and support through the consultation and voting process. Our members are the reason we exist, and it was their voice and their vote that enables us to proceed to build a stronger credit union. This merger presents a significant milestone for the future of our credit union.” The new credit union will become the fourth largest in Saskatchewan with approximately $1.72

billion in assets, serving over 35,000 members in 23 communities throughout Saskatchewan and will employ approximately 285 people. The shared future vision of the three credit union partners is a new credit union that is operationally competitive and

differentiated through its commitment to member wellbeing via trusted advice and service as well as concern for community. This new credit union will be more sustainable and better able to leverage opportunities and manage risks in the ever-changing financial

services market. The new credit union will present benefits to all stakeholders: members, employees and communities. Over time, the goal is for members to benefit through greater access and convenience, better advice, products and services along with improved technology. Employees will benefit from having a broader network, expanded career opportunities and improved work experience through increased effectiveness and better technology. This opportunity will help ensure we can continue to sup-

port communities whether financially, as volunteers or with effective ways to provide advice and service into the future. Over the coming months, we are excited to begin the significant undertaking of bringing our three credit unions together. We are committed to keep the lines of communication open as we work through that process. In the meantime, it’s business as usual. We continue to focus on providing the best advice and service to our members. — Submitted

In Japanese cooking, tempura is a delicate dish of batter-fried seafood or vegetables. The light and crispy coating on the food gives it a distinguishable and hard-toresist flavor. Tempura is often served as an appetizer or side dish. Even though it has a Japanese name and has been enjoyed in that country for centuries, tempura actually has European origins. Food historians say that tempura can be traced back to the influence of Portuguese merchants and missionaries who arrived in Japan in the 16th century. Almost anything can be added to a tempura batter. However, Auctions

in this recipe for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fruit Tomato Tempuraâ&#x20AC;? from Takashi Sugimoto and Marcia Iwatateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shunju New Japanese Cuisineâ&#x20AC;? (Tuttle), a sweet variety of tomato known as a fruit tomato is used. The fruit tomato is a recently developed tomato hybrid that has a reduced water content and a great level of sweetness. The fruit tomato is smaller and firmer than most tomatoes. Overcooking fruit tomatoes will increase their acidity, so they should be deep-fried quickly. FRUIT TOMATO TEMPURA Serves 4 â&#x20AC;˘2 eggs â&#x20AC;˘1â &#x201E;2 cup ice water â&#x20AC;˘1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted and refrigerated â&#x20AC;˘12 fresh basil leaves, roughly torn (plus extra whole to garnish) â&#x20AC;˘Vegetable oil â&#x20AC;˘4 fruit tomatoes, substitute with small, firm vine-ripened tomatoes â&#x20AC;˘1â &#x201E;3 cup fresh cream â&#x20AC;˘1-1â &#x201E;3 ounces hard cheese, such as Gouda â&#x20AC;˘1â &#x201E;3 ounce blue cheese such as Roquefort (use only white part) â&#x20AC;˘4 pinches natural sea salt Beat the eggs and ice water in a bowl, then add the flour and torn basil. Stir briefly with thick chopsticks. Do not mix to a smooth batter as tempura batter should always contain lumps of flour. Pour vegetable oil in a saucepan until it reaches 6 inches in depth. Heat to 374 F. Dip a whole, unpeeled tomato in the batter and deep-fry for 1-1â &#x201E;2 minutes; overcooking the tomato causes it to become acidic. Make sure that you maintain the temperature of the oil at 374 F. Remove the tomato with a slotted spoon and drain on a rack. Repeat with remaining tomatoes. Melt the cream and two kinds of cheese in a microwave oven or over low heat. Season with natural sea salt. Spread the cheese cream sauce on a plate, place the fried tomato in the middle and garnish with whole basil leaves.

Saskatchewan story wins Ruth Shaw Award By Devin Wilger Staff Writer

The film Humboldt: The New Season picks up as the team, the families, the community and the province tries to recover. It follows players, parents and coaches as they discuss what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing to move forward, and the way the crash changed their lives. This Saskatchewan story won the Ruth Shaw Award for Best in Saskatchewan at the most recent Golden Sheaf Awards. Lucas Friesen, codirector, said that it is especially meaningful to win the Ruth Shaw Award because this is a Saskatchewan story, and one that shook the entire province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Specifically in Saskatchewan, it felt like everyone, no matter who you were, no matter where in Saskatchewan you lived, everyone had a connection to the accident.â&#x20AC;? For Friesen, it was a personal story, because of his own connection. Mark Cross, the Assistant Coach, was one of Friesenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closest friends. He said that it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about him, but instead making sure the families wanted him to tell their story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being a filmmaker, I knew from the get-go and soon after I needed to tell this story. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just up

Humboldt; The New Season to me, it was up to all of the other people, there were over 20 other people on the bus and I was only going to do it if they were okay with me telling the story. Thankfully everyone was, and I am extremely grateful for that.â&#x20AC;? It can be a difficult film to watch, especially for people with connections to the Humboldt area, and Friesen said that for him it was the healing journey everyone was on.

something they wanted to bring to the forefront. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almost all of us have been through grief in some regard, and any time someone goes through that you want a support system for yourself, and you want to take care of your mental health. This tragedy was different because it was on such a large scale and

it was so horrificâ&#x20AC;Ś Like Tyler Smith, one of the survivors said, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay to not be okay.â&#x20AC;? The film also highlights the rare positives that stemmed from the crash, including the Logan Boulet effect, which was a significant increase in the amount of people signing their organ donor cards - over

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a huge undertaking. I think, just emotionally for myself for sure. Another reason I wanted to make the film and go through the process was that it was a healing journey for myself as well. Just having a chance to meet so many of the people that Mark coached and worked with in his final years just meant a ton to me and it gave me one last chance to get close to him. It was a tough emotional experience but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thankful for every minute of it.â&#x20AC;? Being an emotional experience, the film was also nominated in the Mental Health category, and Friesen said highlighting the importance of mental health when dealing with grief was

Last Thursday during the Golden Sheaf Awards Virtual Ceremony, the Builder Award was announced to be going to Creative Saskatchewan. This honour recognizes an individual or organization that have supported and assisted the YFF in the advancing of the film industry. For the past seven-years Creative Saskatchewan has been the driving force and partner for the very successful broadcaster event - Meet the Decisions Makers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a highly anticipated event at the festival, and appointments fill up very quick-

they were able to keep recognizing film overall at this time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Myself being a Saskatchewan filmmaker, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to enjoy going to Yorkton and really respect the hard work that they put into it, and what a great event it is. Just the fact that they found a way to make the event still happen this year in spite of all the restrictions with COVID19, I think that means a ton to all the filmmakers.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially important right now as the film industry recovers from the COVID-19 restrictions, and Friesen said that like many people, the pandemic slowed them down, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grateful that the industry continues to have the support of the Yorkton Film Festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s giving filmmakers the chance to get their work watched by an audience, and engage with an audience.â&#x20AC;?

April 6, 2018 was a date that will live in Saskatchewan history, the date that a collision between a semi-truck and a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos to Nipawin, Sk. resulted in the death of 16 people and the injury of 13, the majority being the young hockey players. The tragedy of the crash radiated out far beyond Humboldt itself, affecting the entire nation. But what happened after?

100,000 people - in the wake of Boulet having signed his organ donor card and his family having donated his organs. Friesen also said the support was vitally important for the families, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grateful to the way Canada rallied behind Humboldt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right from the start, the response from the entire country and even beyond Canada was truly remarkable and amazing, and like something we had never seen beforeâ&#x20AC;Ś I know lots of the families we talked to, they were beyond thankful for the support from complete strangers a lot of the time. Personally, I was grateful for that support just in terms of Mark and the support his family got from so many people. It was really amazing and incredible.â&#x20AC;? Friesen said that the recognition from the Yorkton Film Festival means a lot, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially happy that

Crush softball season shelved for 2020 By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer

It took weeks of consultation, but the Yorkton Crush have finally determined they cannot go forward with girls’ softball in 2020. “It is with regret, that our Board of Directors has to announce that there will be no 2020 softball season for Yorkton Crush,” stated a letter circulated to parents and the media today.

“It was a very difficult decision for us to come to, and we held off on it as long as we could, in hopes of a more favourable result.” The letter, provided to Yorkton This Week by Crush executive member Jenn Stackhouse suggests new rules outlined by the province were simply too onerous to make a season possible. “Even though Softball Sask has approved some activities, at this point,

they are only allowing practices, along with many guidelines and protocols to be followed,” stated the letter. “Beyond that, once games are approved, we will have very few, if any teams to play, as many clubs around our area are not running. Many families are away for the summer, and there are families who have been in touch to say their children won’t play this season due to COVID pre-

cautions.” In the end the experience for players would not be what they have come to expect. “We feel that with what we would be able to offer our girls is not worth the fees we charge for a regular season,” said the letter. “With reduced registration numbers, and charging less for what we would be able to offer, would not allow us to cover our operating costs at the

diamonds. “So, in light of all that, we are cancelling this season.” The summer without ball may have something of a silver lining for the organization though. “Our plan is to take advantage of the diamonds not being used to do some major upkeep/ maintenance work out there,” noted the letter. “We will be posting (on Facebook), what we are working on, in case there

YFF gives volunteer award to SWF The Golden Sheaf Awards Virtual Ceremony was held last Thursday evening. The Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation, Yorkton Branch was announced as the 2020 recipients of the annual Volunteer Award. This honour recognizes an individual or group who have made the Yorkton Film Festival stronger, who inspires us with their excellence and passion to reach our potential. One of the most memorable events during festival week is Lobsterfest; a traditional Saskatchewan outing – lobster and skeetshooting, on the prairies. Where filmmakers mingle with Yorkton residents, enjoy great food, lobster and steak, cooked up by the Lions Club and receive personal instruction on shooting a shotgun. Most filmmakers have never seen a shotgun, let alone aim and shoot at skeets. The instructors provide one-on-one training but also talk about the safety of the sport. Each year, hundreds of photos and videos are circulated highlighting the skeet-shooting and the time taken by the very patience SWF members instructing the filmmakers in the fine art of firing a shotgun, detailed the YFF release. This is truly one of the highlights of the time spent in Yorkton; “time when the filmmakers could relax, visit and enjoy the best of Yorkton hospitality.” “Although this year may look a little different, we look forward to next year and skeetshooting again,” noted the release. — Submitted
