Stevely returns to roots after WHL stint

The Yorkton Junior Terriers are celebrating 50 years in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League this season.

To mark the milestone Yorkton This Week is digging into its archives and pulling out a random Terrier-related article from the past five decades of reporting on the team, and will be running one each week, just as it originally appeared.

This feature will appear weekly over the entire season in the pages of The Marketplace.

Week #13 comes from March 9, 1996.

A strong friendship with former teammates drew Derek Stevely back to Yorkton.

Stevely, a native of Yorkton, has played hockey this season for the Yorkton Terriers after playing two seasons in the Western Hockey League with the Prince George (Victoria) Cougars.

The decision to come back was spurred by the memory of his time

50 YEARS Looking back at the Yorkton Terriers

on the Parkland Maller AAAs.

He played with the Mallers for two seasons and won a national title with a team which included Terriers Neil Schell, Scott Prekaski, Jarred Skolnik, Rob Kozak and Lee Rusnak.

“It was a great experience in my life … and I won it with my friends also,” he pointed out.

He phoned his former teammates regularly during his WHL stint. It was during those conversations he learned of the success of the Terriers in the last two years and the fun his friends were having.

They were more like a team than the Cougars, Stevely felt.

“It was hard to play out there (Prince George) because they were more

selfish players,” he said. “They had their own goals and there was no team attitude.”

Terrier head coach Lee Odelein did his part. He convinced Stevely, 19, to play for the Terriers after Stevely returned disappointed with his year in the WHL.

“I was talking to him during the summer,” Odelein explained. “We thought we were going to have a good team here and we felt he could add to it.”

And it was a chance to be with his teammates again.

“I have a lot of close friends here and it would make winning more enjoyable and losing all the more painful,” he related. “You want to win as bad for the team as you do for your friends.”

Stevely has helped make the Terriers the best team in the SJHL this season – the number six ranked team in the 10-league, 112-team Canadian Junior A Hockey League.

Stevely’s presence on the blue line, and WHL experience, gives the

Terriers leadership and direction leading up to the playoffs, Odelein feels. And he’s earning the respect from the rest of the league, he added.

“He intimidates a lot of players,” Odelein explained.

“He’s always talking and he’s always in their faces.”

Stevely, who has over 150 minutes in penalties in 35 games this season, has acknowledged what role he plays on the ice –and relishes it.

“I’ve never been a skilled player … but I just think the main thing is I’ll do whatever it takes to win for the team,” he noted about his approach to the game.

“If (intimidation) is what they want me to do that’s what I’ll do,” added Stevely, who stands 6-foot-0 and weighs 200 pounds.

“You can’t play scared and there’s nobody in this league that scares me.”

That intimidation has played a big role in keeping the Terriers goalsagainst average down. After missing 25 games because of an early season shoulder injury, Stevely returned to the lineup and solidified the defence.

During the time he was out of the lineup the club was ninth in the league in goals against. Upon his return the Terrier

defence has become stingier, allowing the fifth least goals-per-game in the SJHL at 3.29.

One of the benefactors of Stevely’s presence on the blue line, Terriers’ goaltender Scott Prekaski, notes the value of his old Maller teammate.

“We played together on that AAA team that

won the Air Canada Cup and that helps having guys around that are winners,” Prekaski pointed out.

“He directs traffic around on defence and he’s making sure everyone takes a man,” Prekaski said. “Because he’s played two years in the WHL he knows what it takes to prevent goals.”

Terriers split on northern swing

The Yorkton Terriers were on a northern SJHL swing on the weekend.

The first action was Friday in Flin Flon where the teams traded first period goals.

Jeremi Tremblay opened the scoring with an unassisted marker for the Bombers 4:18 into action.

Logan Cyca potted a powerplay goal for the Terriers at 10:39 to knot things 1-1.

The teams played

through a scoreless second period, and in the third frame the host team took control with a pair of unanswered goals for a 3-1 win.

Cole Duperreault scored what was the eventual game-winner at 16:25, with Matt Egan adding the insurance marker at 17:43.

Caleb Allen was in the Terrier net facing 38 shots in the loss while Kenneth Marquart took the win in the Bombers cage facing 34 shots.

Saturday the Terriers were in LaRonge where

Dalton Mayes gave Yorkton a 1-0 lead 5:43 into the contest.

A goal by Thomas Wright tied the contest for the Icewolves at 11:47.

But, the Terriers would hold the edge through one period as Tyson Perkins scored with only 13 seconds left in the frame.

The second was a scoreless affair, but the home team would tie things with the only goal of the third period, a marker by Jacob Cossette at 6:20.

The game would go to overtime where Quintin Unreiner would be the hero of the night for the Terriers scoring the game-winner at the three-minute mark.

Caleb Allen took the win in the Terrier net facing 41 shots, while Topher Chirico took the loss after being peppered by 52-shots in the Icewolves net.

In spite of the loss in Flin Flon Terrier head coach Mat Hehr was satisfied with a road swing that included a delay in The Pas when the bus broke down.

“We played really good. I’m really happy

with our effort both games. I thought we played well enough to win both games,” he said.

“It was the most complete road trip of the season so far.”

Hehr said he felt the Terriers were close to scoring more often than they did which was encouraging too.

“There were some shots that should have been in,” he said, adding a good save, or missing an open net ultimately cost them in Flin Flon.

As for the bus breakdown, Hehr said it was unusual since it had been years since they had an issue, then the cold got them Tuesday headed to Nipawin and then a clutch issue on the way north.

But this time “the guys really used it as motivation,” said Hehr.

The Terriers now sport a 12-18 record and 24 points to hold second place in the Viterra Division, 15 points back of Estevan in first, and three points up on third place Weyburn, with Melville fourth with 20 points, one back of the Red Wings.

IN BRIEF

With a total of 18 students who signed up, Trakkers Snowmobile Club of Canora hosted a snowmobile safety course at the Canora Golf and Country Club on Dec. 10.

In addition to Canora, p articipants were from a variety of area communities, including: Invermay, Sturgis, Preeceville, Kamsack, Veregin and Yorkton. The course is required for everyone born after Jan. 1, 1989 who is 12 years of age and older if they want to travel on local snowmobile routes.

Instructor Jerry Jemieff of t he Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association, who has over 30 years of snowmobiling experience, explained that the main objective of the course “is to promote safe riding, especially among people just starting up, in the 12 to 21 age group.”

Jemieff explained that common sense plays a big role in safe snowmobiling.

“You probably wouldn’t drive your vehicle if it was minus 30 degrees with a minus 45 wind chill and zero visibility in a blizzard, and the same goes for snowmobiling.”

When asked about the biggest mistakes made by snowmobile riders, Jemieff quickly replied, “speed, alcohol and drugs.”

He reminded the class that RCMP officers have their own snowmobiles and patrol snowmobile routes regularly. Financial penalties for not following the rules range from $80 for riding an unregistered snowmobile to $130 for operating a snowmobile without a license.

“Approximately 80 per cent of the time it’s not the riders that pay the fines, it’s their parents.”

During the course, students learned about the general design of snowmobiles, including instruments and controls.

On an actual snowmobile, Jemieff took them through a pre-start check including: making sure the throttle doesn’t stick, checking the fuel/ oil levels, making sure

the brake lever operates properly, checking that the steering works properly, checking the drive belt and track for wear, and making sure the lighting system works, including the brake lights.

After the snowmobile starts, it’s important to check if the emergency stop switch is working. The rider should also rotate the track to clear it of bits of ice, frozen snow, or anything else that could impede it from working properly.

Of course, safe snowmobile operation was emphasized.

Students learned that snowmobile riding is permitted:

• on Crown land, including highway rightsof-way and designated park trails, except on roads and in areas prohibited by signs;

• on privately-owned land with written permission of the owner-tenant;

• on privately-owned

land outside the limits of cities, towns, villages and hamlets not posted with signs prohibiting trespassing or snowmobiling; and

• on Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association designated trails.

Snowmobilers must obey all traffic rules including the snowmobile speed limit of 80 km/hr, or slower, if posted.

The class included teaching the proper hand signals for: stop, right turn, left turn, last sled in line, stop ahead, oncoming sleds, sleds following, and slowing.

Students learned the trail signs they need to know for riding on snowmobile trails as well as public streets and highways.

Class members were taught about taking safety precautions during special snowmobiling situations including: night riding, ditch riding,

blizzards and whiteouts, flat light conditions, and frozen lakes, rivers and slush.

When operating with a passenger, it’s important to:

• carry only one passenger;

• make sure the passenger is wearing a certified helmet, which is required by law;

• make sure the passenger is properly dressed- warm, windproof clothing, no loose clothing or scarves that could get caught in machinery;

• use moderate speed; and

• warn the passenger of low-lying branches,

bumps or rough ground; and check the passenger regularly for frostbite.

(Passenger has less protection, visibility and support than the driver.

Jemieff reminds snowmobilers that they have the option to take the snowmobile safety course in person or online. More information is available at sasksnow. com. For anyone looking to take the course in person, Springside will be hosting a class on Jan. 28.

On Dec. 10, the Canora Golf and Country Club was the site of a snowmobile safety course taught by Jerry Jemieff, a Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association safety instructor. A total of 18 students from across the region were enrolled in the daylong course. As part of the snowmobile safety course, instructor Jerry Jemieff took the students outside and utilized a snowmobile to explain proper pre-start procedures, and then what needs to be done after the machine is running but before heading out for a ride.

The New York City Marathon is one of the world’s most famous marathons.

Each year thousands – as many as 98,247 applicants for the 2017 race -take to the course which winds through the five boroughs of New York City.

Runner takes on NYC marathon CALVIN DANIELS Sports

The race is held on the first Sunday of November and attracts professional competitors and amateurs from all over the world, including this year Saskatoon’s Tarrant Cross Child.

I first met Cross Child when he spoke in Yorkton earlier this year when he was the keynote speaker as that Yorkton Tribal Council hosted a Suicide Prevention Walk in the city.

In talking to Cross Child he mentioned he was readying to tackle the NYC Marathon for a second time -- he participated in 2017 -- and he was looking forward to soaking in the atmosphere of the famed race more this time.

“Absolutely I think it was more enjoyable,” he said in an interview after the run, adding it started with simply being more familiar with the course, and what to expect.

That included just being ready for the race start, or as Cross Child noted “all the logistics of getting to the starting line.”

On race day some 53,000 runners were all making their way through New York to the designated start line, some being up for hours just to get where they needed to be.

It was easier for Cross Child as New Balance was a sponsor so he rode a VIP bus “right from the front of the hotel to the start line.”

So why take on the

race again?

Cross Child said when it comes to running marathons it is generally a very personal endeavour.

“Each of the runners will have a diffident story of why they are there,” he said, adding some are highly personal like that of a Regina runner who was raising awareness and dollars for a disease that had hit her father.

Running is very personal for Cross Child too.

When in Yorkton earlier this year Cross Child said he was raised well, and had been a good father, coaching his daughter and doing other things a father does.

But, the drinking started, and he stopped being a good father. He wasn’t at parent – teacher interviews. His 10-year-old daughter would lay in front of the door begging him to stay home, but he’d just move her and go out and drink again.

Then the gambling followed.

“The more I drank the more I gambled. The more I gambled the more I drank,” said Cross Child.

By the time he lost the battle to open that beer, and the others that followed that day, Cross Child said he came to a conclusion the only way to help “my wife and kids was to take myself out of the picture.”

He said at this point “I felt absolutely helpless.”

Cross Child began to

write his letters of good byes, begging his sons to not grow up to be like he was, for his daughter not to marry a man like he had become; that life for his wife would get better because he would be gone.

The letters written Cross Child went to his garage and found a rope, trying to hang himself.

“I failed three times,” he said.

Eventually, Cross Child said he “woke up in the hospital,” adding his first emotion was anger. “It wasn’t supposed to be like this . . . I wasn’t supposed to wake up.”

It was in the hospital though that the course changed for Cross Child.

“I realized I needed help,” he said. “I just knew deep down inside my gut of hopelessness I needed help.”

Four days later Cross Child was on his way to a year-long treatment centre.

“I was scared at first . . . But, I knew I needed to do something different,” he said, adding it worked. “Pretty soon from the deep dark pit I could look up and see the light.”

A year later Cross Child was out, and restarting his life, renewing vows with his wife, finding a way to save his home from foreclosure, and restarting his flooring business with about $200.

Cross Child also

took up marathon running, something he said became something of a personal symbol of renewal for him. He said he recalls crossing the finish line of his first race, and realizing for him it was “a brand new start to a brand new life.”

Now running is something of a self reward for Cross Child. He explained he has had a hectic year speaking to students at 24 different schools, doing other speaking engagements such as the one in Yorkton, and still running a business, but the marathon was sort of the carrot on the stick to keep going.

“I knew the New York Marathon at the end of the season was my prize,” he said.

So with a bus ride to the start line, Cross Child said he was relaxed and ready to more fully enjoy

the run.

To start he was sharing it with his wife Celeste who was also running, but while she took off and would finish with the better time, he took a more chill approach.

“I took it slow. I took it all in,” he said, adding there are so many great sites to see on the course if one isn’t too focused on the run to soak them in.

And there were the people, the millions lining the course, many with signs encouraging the legions of runners to simply keep going. Cross Child said he tried to acknowledge as many as he could.

“The spectators are there for the experience as well,” he noted.

For example, some carried placards with a button motif encouraging runners “to tap for more energy,” like you might in

Gingerbread houses spread warmth and happiness

The Sturgis Station House Museum came up with the unique idea to involve students from the Sturgis Composite School from kindergarten to Grade 6 to get involved in creating gingerbread houses. The houses were a way to keep the museum in the community limelight over the winter months when the museum is closed for the season, stated Stacey Wiebe, museum curator.

There were 17 houses entered and judged by two community members with all the houses on display at various businesses in Sturgis. The top winner in each class received a $10 gift card to Co-op and all other

entries received treat bags.

There were no entries in the Kindergarten and Grade 6 category.

In Grade 1, there were two entries, Jacob Seghers and Will Prestie with Seghers’ entry winning first.

In Grade 2, there were four entries, with Ryder Beatty winning first place. Other entries were submitted by: Cruz Jaeb, Isiah Kaufman and Grady Lario.

In Grade 3, there were five entries with Lindy Romanchuk finishing on top. Other entries were submitted by: Lakyn Seerey, Stanley Prokulevich, Leo Yachyshen and Zia Dela Torre.

In Grade 4, there were two Continued on Page 5

a video game, said Cross Child, adding he tapped several on the course.

Other placards were inspiration with messages such as ‘you can do this’, ‘keep going’, ‘believe.’

Cross Child said he became aware of how special it was for millions of strangers to be there encouraging runners they did not know to continue on toward the finish line.

“It dawned on me the power of our minds,” he said, adding one must be able to interpret the messages to act on them in a positive way “to understand the power behind the words.”

SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories celebrates 50 years

Maycee Johnson of Sturgis had fun and worked hard, concentrating on building a gingerbread house as part of the Sturgis Station House Museum gingerbread house contest.

The Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) Geoanalytical Laboratories is celebrating its 50th anniversary of providing high quality analysis to the exploration and mining industry.

The lab started in 1973 as an internal service for the geologists working at SRC and over the years evolved into a worldclass laboratory serving external industry clients from around the globe. It offers geochemical and mineralogical analysis with expertise in base metals, gold, lithium, uranium, potash, rare earth elements and diamonds.

“Saskatchewan is one of the most attractive mining jurisdictions in the world and having the SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories located in the province to help support industry only adds to that attraction,” Minister Responsible for SRC Jeremy Harrison said. “Over the past 50 years, SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories has shown notable achievements in the evolution of geochemistry and mineralogy that have supported

clients with their mineral exploration and mining operations.”

In 2021, a new purpose-built facility was created for SRC’s Mining and Minerals Division, which provided the Geoanalytical Laboratory with more space to improve sample flow and reduce the turnaround time for clients.

Also, that year, SRC took on TSL Laboratories’ clients and assets after its owner’s retired, which expanded the lab’s capacity for gold and precious metal fire assay.

To round out the recent changes, the lab added a mineral characterization service, which provides mining and exploration clients the ability to test their ores’ amenability to sorting and choose the appropriate type of equipment or sensor for sorting - a service unique to SRC. The lab currently provides chemical analysis for exploration and mining companies, as well as other services, such as mineral identification and mineralogical services.

“SRC Geoanalytical

Laboratories is continually expanding its facilities to match the growth and changes in the exploration and mining industry sectors and to meet the needs of our clients,” SRC President and CEO Mike Crabtree said. “With an eye on new technologies and our finger on the pulse of industry, it’ll be exciting to see what the lab can achieve in the coming decades.”

SRC is Canada’s second largest research and technology organization. With over 300 employees, $277 million in annual revenue and 75 years of experience, SRC provides services and products to its 1,400 clients in 23 countries around the world.

Game gift ideas for season

Each year about this time it seems appropriate to make a few board game suggestions for seasonal gift giving.

To start, try to get a few hints from who the recipient will be. Games are wildly diverse and no one is likely to like every game that hits the table.

For example, if you know someone is not a chess fan, then likely avoid similar games such as Hive. Hive is an amazing game, and the pieces are very much heirloom quality – they should last forever – but it is too much in the flavour of chess to be appreciated by a devout non-chess player.

That said if you have someone who likes a mindto-mind game challenge Hive is ideal. I can imagine a grandparent gifting a set to a 10-year-old, and that youngster growing up and playing the same set for 60-70-80 years, and handing it off to a grandchild they taught.

You could say much of the same about Abalone, with its classy looking black and white marbles and solid plastic molded board. It has easy rules and looks awesome – one of mine is out on an end table. An heirloom gamer gift for sure.

Another general thought from me is that wooden

games are generally more appealing that anything made of plastic.

Now obviously not all games can be made just of wood, but there are some fabulous ones to consider.

I’ll suggest Quarto here. It has a rather unique mechanic, is quick to learn and play and is the sort of game looks awesome on an office sideboard or living area coffee table.

Next a little dive into games reviewed or played for the first time in 2022, and there a few that would be appreciated wrapped in some bright paper with a ribbon and a bow.

NEWLISTING

With the World Cup of soccer grabbing a lot of sports headlines in recent weeks.

If you have a soccer fan on your list check out UND1C1. It’s a soccer simulation game reviewed in April, and it does a very good job of mimicking the game – frankly for me it’s far more entertaining than watching soccer.

Back to chess-like games, in September we talked about the ancient game of Tafl. There are some great looking sets on the market – some all wood too – and the game offers a different gaming experience and is another showpiece game as well.

In the same vein is the new/upcoming release Maya Chess reviewed in November. It doesn’t play anything like chess, offering really unique piece movement which is enticing. Made of wood, board and pieces, it looks great too, and on display will draw looks, and questions, which lead to an opportunity to teach the game and play.

In March we reviewed Azul, and this one is a game with nice pieces in a sort of bakelite, with rules that are easily absorbed. It plays two-to-four, so a nice game for a couple whether an evening on their own, or with the neighbours popping over – I’d rate it rather highly for that aspect of play.

The game has a couple of follow-up creations – one being Azul: Summer Pavilion which we just acquired and played at the most recent Games Night at the Yorkton Public Library.

It’s hard to compare Summer Pavilion on two plays, but it might be a tad better than the original – but that might be the newest bias too. Still it’s pretty clear this is another great game for two-to-four and as a gift for a gamer.

And, a good companion stocking stuffer could be some handmade coupons to be redeemed for an evening or 10 playing the gifted game.

So have a happing gaming holiday all!

Duck Mountain Ski Area to officially open on Boxing Day

Courtesy of Kamsack Times

After a “soft opening” on Dec. 23, the Duck Mountain Ski Area will be open for the season beginning on Boxing Day.

“We have enough snow, a 10-inch base and it’s snowing more and more,” said Sarah Burrows, who has begun working as the Area’s general manager, succeeding Craig Brock, who remains involved as a consultant.

“The hill’s conditions are adequate and there’s powder,” Burrows said.

A resident of Kamsack, Burrows marks her fifth year working at the ski hill. She began as a volunteer on the board, then started working in the kitchen. In 2020 she was elevated to the positon of lodge manager and cook, and this year was asked to manage the hill.

Burrows explained that for about three days in October a work crew of about a dozen volunteers mowed, cut branches and conducted a variety of tasks in order to make the area ready to receive the snow.

The hill was in relatively good condition, she said. It had been rented out during the summer to a couple of groups including a youth group and a group with horses.

“We hope that for the

opening, we’ll be able to have all the hills open for skiers and snowmobilers,” she said, adding that may depend on having enough staff.

A full staff would include 14 persons, she said. Among the staff currently being employed on a part-time basis are four persons returning to the hill.

Burrows explained that an umbrella management staff has been hired. Included on the new management team are: Terry Town of the RM of Sliding Hills and Stuart McMillan of Norquay, who are the outdoor maintenance managers; Nicole Town, the lodge manager; Warren Musqua of Churchbridge, the lift operations manager; Jamie Brock of Canora, the rental shop manager, and Joe Vivian of Kamsack, the cook.

Once the hill opens on Dec. 26, it will be open daily to Jan. 3, that is, weather permitting, she said. The hill will not be operational when the temperature drops to minus 27 degrees Celsius.

After Jan. 3, the hill will be open on weekends and on school breaks, she said. In addition, Thursdays and Fridays are being reserved to accommodate various school groups.

The road leading to the hill from Duck Mountain Provincial Park was widened and graveled last year and is in good condition, she said.

Although having had many personal issues (unrecognizable to himself), a certain main character in a popular sitcom thought he had the answer for anyone downtrodden in spirit. Wouldn’t it be nice if every problem could be remedied by a simple, hot beverage?

Yes, I’m talking about Sheldon from “The Big Bang Theory” (a show that really has nothing to do with it’s title).

Through a Google search I found out that at least one of the major writers for that show was, indeed, a Canadian! Yay! Suddenly Sheldon’s simple answer for anyone’s calamity makes much more sense.

Thanks to Loretta Erhardt, I saw a meme last week that depicted a cute cartoon character with eyes cast down and the words “The air hurts my face. Why do I live in a place where the air

hurts my face?” That was followed by pictures of a huge spider, snake (not of the garter variety) and an alligator. Each of these pictures held the caption “This is why I live in a place where the air hurts my face.”

The weather was a balmy minus thirty-three centigrade (with a windchill of negative three hundred and sixty two) the day I saw that, compelling me to reevaluate my strong dislike of large arachnids, all things slithering and basically any animal that can eat me.

For every winter I’ve survived in Saskatchewan I’ve said to my husband, “No one has a gun to our heads. We wouldn’t have to live here,” but every year still finds us … .

Clearly it’s our choice to live in the Canadian prairies, but surely there’s a wiser one.

Perhaps I’m stuck —

my brain frozen along with my face.

A few days ago, my daughter was stranded in small town Saskatchewan because her vehicle quit. “See?” I said. “Even our cars know they shouldn’t be going out when it’s this cold.”

I’ve heard other people say things like — “We’re Canadians! We are super tough and certainly not scared to brave a bit of bitter weather!”

Admittedly, I am proud of that as well, but the attitude that continues makes less and less sense to me.

“Hand me that shovel, honey! I know it’s minus thirty two but the snow has reached five feet deep in the yard. Time to build a snow fort! And after that, I’ll hang the Christmas lights!” OR

“It’s only minus fortyone degrees so … dare me to stick my tongue to a flagpole! I’ll rip it off and still finish the three periods of our town-againsttown hockey game. Argh!! Grr …”

Although I’ll never understand that level of toughness, I remember feeling more tenacious when I was younger. You

know … when as kids we stated there was no need for a jacket because it was only minus ten or twelve? Yep! Really hardy — that’s me.

I wonder if Candy Cane Hot Chocolate tastes as grand in hotter climates. Do they even have such a drink in those largeinsect and carnivoreinfested places or do they only enjoy ice-cold, fruity smoothies?

I suppose, if my car starts today, there’s really only one thing to do. Shut up, be thankful for Tim Hortons and slip through their drive-thru for, you guessed it! A wonderfully hot and delicious

beverage!

Perhaps Sheldon (or more likely the Canadian writer behind him) had a point.

As I try to warm up this winter I am thankful to live in a country that, although has a season that freezes my face, is not only alligator-free but is still free from war and so many other, much more serious, hardships.

May we all feel incredibly blessed this Christmas season as we rejoice in the Reason we have it and as we serve our loved ones those sweet and hot beverages!

Enjoy Your Canadian Hot Beverage PATTIE JANZEN Laugh at Life... Revisited Former Terriers set to face Ukraine team

The University of Saskatchewan Huskies will be playing Ukraine’s national hockey team Dec. 30, as Saskatoon will be the first stop for the visiting team during a ‘Hockey Can’t Stop Tour’.

The Ukrainians will be preparing for the upcoming World University Games as well as using the series of four games on the tour to raise funds for humanitarian and hockey causes in Ukraine, which has seen many of its hockey arenas decimated during Russia’s invasion over the past nine months. Money from ticket sales will also go toward Ukrainian grassroots organizations in Canada.

The game in Saskatoon will be particularly meaningful for a pair of former Junior Terriers on the Huskies this year; Alec Zawatsky and Aiden Bulych.

Overall the current college season has been something of a roller coaster ride for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies, said former Yorkton Junior Terrier Alec Zawatsky.

“The season was going great. We started off 6-1,” he said, adding the team then scuffled through a 3-3-1 stretch where “we lost a couple of games we shouldn’t have.”

But that won’t dull the experience of suiting up against the team from Ukraine.

“I think it’s really cool. Being in Saskatchewan there is a lot of Ukrainian heritage,” said Zawatsky. “. . . It should be a good test for us. . . It’s going to be a really good experience.”

The Ukrainian heritage Zawatsky spoke of includes his own family, where his grandmother makes the tradition perogies, cabbage rolls and borscht.

And when grandma’s perogies run out for Zawatsky he said he heads to the always popular Baba’s Homestyle Perogies for a meal in Saskatoon.

That connection of heritage also exists for another former Terrier Aiden Bulych.

“Being Ukrainian myself it is pretty special. It should be a pretty cool experience,” he said.

Bulych said the team will battle on the ice but he is looking forward to a supper planned for the two teams complete with perogies and cabbage rolls, which he hopes will provide an opportunity to get to know the players just a little bit.

“For sure it’s more than a hockey game,” said Bulych, adding it’s difficult to imagine what the Ukrainian players are facing.

“I’m sure they’re great people that don’t deserve it,” he said, adding he hopes to “. . . pick their brains what they’re dealing with.”

Bulych said he doesn’t expect stories of the worst of what is happening, but hopes to gain at least some personal understanding of the situation.

While Zawatsky said the game should be a competitive one, he recognizes there is a greater storyline with the contest than hockey with Ukraine battling a Russian invasion.

“I think it’s a really good opportunity to raise some more awareness of what’s going on over there,” he said.

It is not lost on Zawatsky the players he will be facing off on the Ukrainian team might well return home to pick up a rifle and fight for their country.

“I try putting myself in their shoes and I can’t

Continued from Page 8 imagine what’s happening; what they’re experiencing,” he said.

In that respect Zawatsky said the game reinforces what we have here in Canada and how fortunate he is as a hockey player here.

“It’s a blessing every game to play hockey. Sometimes I think we take that for granted,” he said.

Bulych said he knows he takes his world too much for granted.

“When I think about it, I know I take what I have for granted,” he said, adding the pressures of school, hockey and life in general exist, but not one of those things compare to what is being faced in Ukraine.

The University of Alberta Golden Bears,

University of Calgary Dinos and University of Manitoba Bisons will also play host to games during the tour.

All ticket sale profits will be sent to the Canada/Ukraine Foundation, which provides assistance to

humanitarian groups in Ukraine and Canada.

The foundation will disperse the majority of funds to Save Ukrainian Hockey Dream, a charitable foundation operated by the Ice Hockey Federation of Ukraine with the assistance of the IIHF.

Jackie Guy heading to Telemiracle

When Telemiracle takes to the stage

again in the new year Yorkton’s Jackie Guy will be among the performers.

“This is my first

time performing on Telemiracle,” she told Yorkton This Week.

Guy said being part of the annual fundraiser was something she wanted to do because she recognized the good things the money provides.

“As a physiotherapist I have seen first hand the needs of people that come through the hospitals, the schools and the communities,” she said. “Helping to raise money to support those in need and provide a little freedom for those with disabilities is important to me.”

Those needs hit closer to home for Guy too.

“Growing up with an older sister with special needs, I was able to see first hand the limitations placed on families that don’t have the financial resources to attend places for therapy and medical treatments,” she said. “Not only is it difficult to go places but purchasing home equipment also becomes another family burden.”

Guy said she also recognizes how iconic the telethon is in Saskatchewan.

“It will be an honour to be part of the annual Telemiracle event, because as kids we would stay up until the early hours watching all the wonderful Saskatchewan talent on television,” she said.

“As a youngster I looked up to those artists and wanted to be just like them -- singing and raising money for such a great cause.”

Guy said she expects to perform at least one number but will be prepared for more.

“We have decided to perform our most recent original called ‘In A Summer’, because it’s upbeat and they want us to keep the crowd rocking,” she said.

Anyone wanting to help with the fundraising effort, can contact Guy or local Kinsmen and Kinettes.

Unlocking the secrets of the freezethaw cycle

SASKATOON –

Hydrological research on the Prairies can be a challenge when the water is locked up in ice for almost half the year.

“Anyone who’s lived here through winter knows going out to do fieldwork in February is harder than July,” said Dr. Helen Baulch, associate professor with the School of Environment and Sustainability and Global Institute for Water Security, and Centennial Enhancement Chair at the University of Saskatchewan (USask).

“There are welldocumented reasons we haven’t done as much winter research. … There are safety issues, and it’s challenging to get your fingers to work!”

That said, there are important and fascinating understandings to unlock when it comes to the Prairies’ freezethaw cycles, which was the topic Baulch and colleagues tackled in their research paper “Cold spots and cold moments: The potential for sediment freezing to depress denitrification in wetland sediments” published in The Journal of Environmental Quality.

“We know in the Prairies winters are variable and we know winters will grow shorter and warmer, so how does that impact key processes in the landscape?”

The paper focuses on

Career Opportunities

On Saturday the Yorkton Pool League hosted a single 8 ball tournament. Games started before lunch after players registered and shot a few games to warm up.

General Employment

Eight players played in the double knockout event, with matches being a best-of-five. Most of the players were members of Yorkton Pool League Wednesday night league.

All of the players involved were skilled pool players, and Scott Sharpe, one of organizers said he was not sure there was a clear favourite at the beginning of the event, but Dale Gelowitz and Perry Cote had played previously in tournaments around the province.

Cote was eventually knocked down to the ‘B’ side in the second round but came back to play against Gelowitz, the A side winner.

“There were a ton of great games to watch but the games between Dale and Perry were very exciting and it was great to watch two skilled pool players in the finale,” said Sharpe.

In the end, Cote came out on top and took first place, with Gelowitz coming in second, and Bruce Nielsen completing the top-three.

The Yorkton Pool League also wants to thank everyone that played or came out to watch, said Sharpe. A special thank you to Marty Derbowka and The CI for hosting and sponsoring a part of the prize pool.

“We look forward to the next tournament,” said Sharpe.

The Yorkton Pool League has weekly pool and are always looking for new players if you’re interested please contact at yorktonpool@ gmail.com or text or call Sharpe at 306-621-6785.

Measuring the big bucks

The Yorkton Wildlife Federation held their Big Buck Antler Measuring Night at the Yorkton Gun Club on the evening of Dec. 8.

“We keep records of all the different animals – mule deer, white tail, elk, moose, bear – we do fish as well as waterfowl,” said Laura Uhryn, President of the Yorkton Wildlife Federation, in an

interview with Yorkton This Week.

This year’s event had 50 submissions at the time of writing which included 40 in-person submissions for the event.

“At one point the place was packed,” said Uhryn.

“Every year -- for all of the different categories -- there is an award winner,” said Uhryn, adding, “The seasons haven’t closed yet so there’s still guys hunting – we’ve got to get stuff calculated … it’s going to be a

little bit before we have who the winners are.”

In previous years the organization has held an awards banquet and fundraiser, but those events were put on hold due to restrictions put in place for COVID-19.

“We’re thinking of maybe doing an awards barbecue out at the clubhouse at York Lake –we just haven’t hammered out the details on just exactly what we’re going to do this year.”

Regardless, Uhryn said the

Big Buck Antler Measuring night was a success.

“It was great to see people we haven’t seen in a couple of years -- lots of new faces -- which was fantastic – lots of younger people buying memberships and getting involved with the organization.”

For people wishing to join the Yorkton Wildlife Federation, memberships are available for purchase through the Sask. Wildlife Federation’s website, through

Yorkton Wildlife Federation’s Facebook page, or at the hunting sports desk at Canadian Tire.

“A big thank you to all of our board members and volunteers that came out for the evening to help,” said Uhryn, adding, “Thanks to every one who attended and brought their antlers in or came out to see what was harvested this year and good luck to everybody for the next hunting season when it comes around.”

U.S. EPA finalizes recognition of canola’s GHG emissions reduction in advanced biofuels

December 1, 2022 – Today, canola’s role in helping reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions took another step forward, with the final rule to create a pathway for canola oil to be used in advanced biofuels under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program in the

UNLOCKING

Continued from Page 11 “cold spots” and “cold moments,” places where beneficial processes that can occur naturally are not occurring, and times of the year they are not happening or happening at low rates, Baulch said.

“Basically, we’re understanding why we’re not obtaining all the benefits we might wish for from some of these processes,” she said.

In particular, the research looks at elevated levels of nitrogen, which can have a negative impact on the environment, and asks how wetlands can help us manage excess nitrogen.

Baulch’s hope is that these landscape-scale insights will someday be integrated into models and understanding these cycles could also help design constructed ecosystems.

United States.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) delivered the final rule that canola oil-derived renewable diesel (RD), sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other biofuels qualify as “advanced biofuels” under

“If you’re looking at designing urban wetlands, you might want to make them deep enough, so you don’t have freeze-thaw cycles at the bottom if those are going to impede key processes,” she said.

The work was led by former USask honours student Kimberly Gilmour.

“It’s unusual — but wonderful! — for an honours student to publish work,” Baulch said.

Gilmour has graduated since she did the research in 2015, but the work had a big impact on her future career decisions.

“The Global Institute for Water Security and what they stand for has really informed my later work and influenced the type of companies I would apply for,” she said.

Today, Gilmour works as an

environmental technician with NextGen Energy, and said she chose to work with the business because the company’s mission and values aligns with her own personal values — a lesson she learned doing this research through GIWS.

She grew up on a farm surrounded by wetlands, and while she appreciated them for their natural beauty, she never understood their true importance until she started studying their role in the ecosystem.

“Realizing how amazing wetlands are and what an important ecosystem service they provide for us was the most fascinating part of this, and how we can conserve and utilize them to improve downstream water quality,” she said.

the RFS program. The EPA’s assessment confirmed that GHG emissions from RD, SAF and other fuels derived from canola oil far exceeded the 50 per cent reduction threshold when compared to fossil-based fuels.

“We thank the EPA for completing the final rule and are pleased to see that canola oil now has the pathway to help contribute to reducing GHG emissions from transportation fuels in the U.S.,” says Jim Everson, Canola Council of Canada (CCC) president.

Canola’s low carbon advantages, largely due to the strong track record of sustainable production practices of growers, mean that canola-based biofuels offer significantly lower lifecycle GHG emissions – by up to 90 per cent compared to fossil diesel.

“This pathway positions canola to do more for the environment and our entire canola sector as it helps diversify markets and support value added processing,” says Everson.

The CCC worked in coordination with the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association on a U.S. Canola Association petition to the EPA in 2020 to approve canola oil as a feedstock for renewable diesel, jet fuel and other biofuels. Renewable diesel and renewable jet fuel are chemically similar to petroleum and are increasingly used in existing vehicles and aircraft to help decarbonize the transportation sector.

The Canola Council of Canada is a full value chain organization representing canola growers, processors, life science companies and exporters. Keep it Coming 2025 is the strategic plan to ensure the canola industry’s continued growth, demand, stability and success – targeting 52 bushels per acre to meet global market demand of 26 million metric tonnes by the year 2025.
