“Funds raised through the grain-growing project are used to support people around the world who need emergency food assistance, as well as improving long-term food security,” Block says. “Grow Hope Saskatchewan is a tangible way for productive land in Saskatchewan to have a direct and positive impact for many around the world who do not have access to food,” he says.

Michelle Hergott, a Grow Hope farmer near Bruno, says farmers have been gifted great abundance. Grow Hope Saskatchewan provides them an opportunity to share their passion.

“We are farmers and Grow Hope gives us the opportunity to help those in need while doing what we love to do,” she says. “Do you also feel a call within your heart to help this great organization to feed the world?” she asks.

Like Hergott, Block invites urban and rural people in Saskatchewan to help feed the world.

“Folks are invited to sponsor an acre for $350, which can result in proceeds up to $500 from the sale of that crop. This in turn may be matched four to one through the Canadian Foodgrains Bank’s Partnership with Global Affairs Canada,” says Block.

Kelvington 4-Her earns provincial speaker victory

By Liz Jacobsen PREECEVILLE Hazel Dell youth, Amber Spray won first place in the junior 4-H provincial speaking event held in Middle Lake on April 9.

Spray also won first place in the same category at the club, district and regional competitions.

She competed against 32 other top members from across Saskatchewan.

She is an active member of the Kelvington 4-H Beef Club and is very passionate about the farming and cattle industry. Her speech entitled, The Rush, was written addressing the adrenaline rush that she gets playing sports or working with her 4-H projects.

“I used the same speech throughout the different levels of speaking that included the first time it was recited at the club level speaking competition,” she said. She advanced from there to districts where she won first place and she also received first place at regional competitions.

Spray said each time she made some minor improvements to the speech.

This is the second time she has attended provincials, the only other tine being when she was a cloverbud where she won first place.

Ukrainian original costumes preserved for future generations Courtesy of Preeceville Progress The Barveenok Ukrainian Dance Club is in its 42nd Year of dance and “COVID-19 cheated us out of celebrating our 40th Anniversary in 2020.

It also put this presentation on hold till we were all able to gather again at our annual Spring Concert,” stated Heather Gawrelitza, past executive member.

Gawrelitza was part of the executive for the 2019 to 2020 dance year when it was decided to retire the original Stenen Barveenok Ukrainian Dance Club’s Hutzul outfits. It was then decided that a boy and a girl Hutzul outfit would be donated to the Sturgis Station House Museum along with a memory frame of photos in honour of the founding members and in recognition of the club’s 40th year of heritage dance.

She made the pres-

entation during the Barveenok Ukrainian Dance club spring concert held at the Sturgis Composite School gymnasium on April 24.

“I would like to thank all the past dancers and parents that helped with the names. I would also like to thank Lydia Dzaman and Pat Prokop for the club photos.

The history of the club was taken from Lillian Steranko’s write-up in the Ukrainian Dance Cook Book which was made in honour of the club’s 25th Anniversary in 2004,” said Gawrelitza.

“This has been a lot of fun for me and I have been in touch with many past dancers in order to gather the names. I went to school in Sturgis and loved watching the Ukrainian dancers perform. I will confess it might have had a lot to do with the Secundiak, Prokop, and Burym boys that danced in 1989. I hope you get a chance to

KELVINGTON Continued from Page 2 “Public speaking has helped me to become a more confident person and gave me the experience to talk to others in school and in the public.

I loved the entire experience from creating the speech to the delivering of it and making new friends. The judges were looking for many things during my speech from my posture, delivery, punctuation, expressions and tones pf my voice. It was a little overwhelming but it was so fun,” she

shared.

Amber now turns her attention to her six 4-H projects that she is working with for this season.

The Three Lakes 4-H Beef Club hosted the provincial competition and it was the first time since 2020 and COVID19 that participants could attend public speaking in-person. Last year submissions were adapted to an online platform.

“It was great to get back to in-person events.

Leaders, members, family and guests were excited to see each other with chatting and catching up what we missed in-person for the last three years,” said Krystal Spray, Amber’s mom.

see the museum display in the back corner of the gymnasium. There are many wonderful years of this dance club and I focused on the early years of 1984 and 1989.

“The club has a lot of history and it is so great to see it still going strong with all the young dancers today. It was also nice to see that the club was able to perform for our seniors in the nursing home in Preeceville.

This to me was always the most rewarding performance for those seniors who are not able to come out to our Spring Concert. It was so great to see you all dancing again and the most exciting thing today was getting to see the adult dance group which I believe is a first for our club. I would also like to point out that some of our adult dancers are beginner dancers as well and would like to acknowledge our original Stenen Alumni dancers Jerilyn Radawetz, who currently dances with the adult dance group, and Mikaela Twerdoclib, who currently dances with the Norquay Dancers. It is great to see these ladies still dancing.

“It takes a lot of time and dedication for the dancers and the parents and we are very fortunate to have such great support from the Town of Sturgis and the Sturgis Composite School in providing a place to dance. I would also like to thank instructor Eric Sliva for coming back to teach again this year, it is awesome to see you back with the club again,” shared Gawrelitza.

This history on the club was taken from Lillian Steranko’s 2004 writeup. Formal Ukrainian Dancing began in 1979 with the capable assist-

The dancers performed for the Stenen Christmas Concert and performed a Mother’s Day Concert in the spring. In 1980, the Stenen Ukrainian Dance School was formed with chairperson Lillian Steranko, secretary-treasurer Maureen Lisoway, costume co-ordinator Sharon Secundiak, and Advisor Lorna Brodziak.

The first instructors were Kathy and Charlene Brodziak.

The dance club performed not only at the yearly Mother’s Day Concert, but also participated in dance competitions and even sang Ukrainian songs and danced on Profile, a local talent show on CKOS Television in Yorkton.

Twelve years ago the club moved from Stenen to Sturgis and the name has changed, but the one thing that remains the same is we are proud of our heritage. We honour our ancestors by keeping the tradition of Ukrainian Dance alive in our local communities for all to enjoy.

“In 2020 the club was very proud to be celebrating our 40th year of Ukrainian Dance,” continued Gawrelitza. “We had dancers from Sturgis, Preeceville, Stenen, Endeavour, and Danbury.

We looked forward to our Spring Concert when this presentation was to be made but sadly, due to COVID-19 the concert was cancelled. We did attend a dance competition in Regina before the province was shut down.

Some of our dancers also performed in the nursing home in Preeceville for the seniors so we did get to see a few performances.

“The Barveenok Ukrainian Dance Club in honour of our 40th year of Heritage Dance in 2020 is honouring our founding members Lillian Steranko, Marianne Washburn, and Lorna Brodziak in officially retiring the original Stenen Barveenok Ukrainian Dance Club Hutzul Outfits. The Hutzul Outfits are being donated to the Sturgis Station House Museum along with a club memory frame of photos. The

Hutzul outfits were hand sewn by club member’s mothers and grandmothers. We know the museum will take good care of them and they will give many past dancers and parents fond memories of their years with the club. The museum display is set up in the back corner and you will be able to see it when you go for lunch.

“Sadly, the founding members were unable to be here today, Lillian Steranko still lives in Stenen, Marianne Washburn has moved to Alberta, and Lorna Brodziak lives in Saskatoon. I will be sending photos so they can see the memory frame and presentation to the club is in good hands and I would like to thank the dancers, parents, and current executive: president Sandra Johnson, vice-president Trudy Halvorson, secretary Tara Romanchuk, and treasurer Lorelei Karcha along with dance Instructor Eric Sliva for keeping the tradition of Ukrainian dance alive and well in our local communities,” concluded Gawrelitza.

EDITORIAL Rush coach reflects on a season of missed opportunity For Saskatchewan Rush fans a trip to the National Lacrosse League post season has become the norm, the team having made the playoffs ever season since moving to Saskatoon.

Or, that had been the case up until the just completed 2021-22 season, a season in which the Rush struggled to find wins early, which finally led to head coach Jeff McComb being let go.

McComb was replaced by the tandem of GM Derek Keenan and assistant coach Jimmy Quinlan taking the reins as associate coaches through the final four games – all Rush wins, but it was the old case of too little too late as the Rush’s record of 8-10 had then fourth in the NLL west but losing the last playoff spot to the crossover Philadelphia Wings at 9-9.

While the Rush missed the playoffs they did win their final four games of the season after the coaching change, and Quinlan will be back as head coach this fall.

Quinlan said Monday the coaching change wasn’t expected, but it has provided him with an opportunity.

“I’m very excited.

I was surprised when it happened, but at the same time very excited,” he told Yorkton This Week.

And while the playoffs slipped through their grasp Quinlan said the

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports team responded very well to the change.

“It couldn’t have gone any better,” he said.

The problem was a terrible start to the season going 4-10.

“As inconsistent as we were, we kind of made the bed we’re sleeping in,” said Quinlan.

The problem early was finding a way to salt away wins.

“The last part of the season we were pretty good to start games, but not as crisp as we needed to be in the second half (of games),” said Quinlan.

When he took the reins Quinlan said he tried to take it back to a pretty basic idea, focusing on what each player’s role was within the team, and on what they needed to do to accomplish that role.

“I wanted to get them moving in the right direction . . . I wanted to clearly identify player’s roles,” he said, adding he was proud of the way the players bought in and the results they achieved winning their final four games. “. . .The last month of the season we

figured out some things and we’ll be better for it moving forward.”

The month also gave Quinlan time to evaluate some of the young Rush talent from the perspective of being head coach.

He liked what he saw.

One of the young players to impress was Holden Garlent, who finished the season with 18 points in 18 games to lead all Rush defenceman in scoring this season.

“I didn’t realize how good he was in all facets of the game,” said Quinlan.

Defenceman Bobby Kidd III and Connor McClelland impressed too.

“Both are exceptional athletes,” said Quinlan, adding both have better stick skills than many on defence.

Forward Marshall Powless drew praise as well.

“He continued to improve when not always being in the line-up,” offered Quinlan.

And Quinlan sees a lot of potential in 2022 draft

He said there will be discussions with GM Derek Keenan regarding Rush free agents and the upcoming NLL expansion draft as the league welcomes the Las Vegas Desert Dogs as its 15th franchise.

As for free agents, Quinlan said you can’t replace veterans like Corbeil and Rubisch but added “these play-

ers have earned that opportunity (to explore options). All we can do is make our best pitch.”

In that regard Quinlan said the last four games are a positive to players to think about.

“We did finish our season on a high note,” he said, reflecting once more on what an early season win, or two could have meant. “. . . Confidence as a team and success as a team go hand-in-hand.

Some early success could have led to a completely different season, and the playoffs . . . but you can only deal with what is in front of you.”

Agristability enrollment deadline extended to June 30

Recently, Federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit announced the AgriStability enrolment deadline for the 2022 program year has been extended without penalty to June 30, 2022. This step, agreed to by federal, provincial, and territorial governments, will help producers manage the impact of avian influenza (bird flu), current market disruptions, increased expenses and production challenges facing many farm operations.

“Our government is doing everything it can to support producers to ensure they make it through the challenges today, and are better positioned for

the future,” Bibeau said. “Many producers are facing stress and uncertainty due to circumstances beyond their control.

This step to extend the enrollment deadline will help more producers manage the impact of challenges facing their farm operations and provide them with more time to take advantage of the support available under AgriStability.”

“Producers cannot control every risk impacting their operation, but they can control how they prepare for them,” Marit said. “The uncertainty of this year’s growing season reinforces the importance of our Business Risk Management Programs.

This deadline extension gives producers additional time to

customize their risk management package for their operations.”

AgriStability is a low-cost, business risk management program. Coverage is personalized for each farm by using historical data to calculate a program year margin and a reference margin.

AgriStability helps protect a producer’s bottom line against production loss, increased costs or market conditions. In the last five program years, Saskatchewan producers have received over $435 million in benefit payments.

Recent changes to the AgriStability Program make it more responsive for producers.

Removing the reference margin limit from the AgriStability

Program means payments are more predictable, more equitable and more efficient across all agriculture sectors.

Enrolling in the AgriStability Program is easy. Saskatchewan producers can provide all the necessary information over the phone through a brief conversation. Producers can also complete the short contact form to begin the application process and request a call back from AgriStability staff. The contact form is available at https:// www.scic.ca/agristability/howto-enrol. Staff are available to assist producers over the phone at (1-866-270-8450) or through email (agristability@scic.ca), Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Rush that is a playoff watching other teams on TV, and waiting for a new season, one the new head coach said he fully expects the team to be back in the hunt for the upper echelon in the NLL and a return to the playoffs.

As for the NLL playoffs, three Canadian teams are in the hunt.

The Halifax Thunderbirds face the Toronto Rock May 6, in a one-game quarterfinal contest while out west the Calgary Roughnecks host the Colorado Mammoth, also May 6.

Game about catching fish is fun When you dig under the Christmas tree and find a small wrapped box, and you happen to be an avid board game player, you are likely to assume a new game.

However, even when you are right in the guess, and it is a new game, it can be awhile before it gets to the table to play, because there is usually a stack of unplayed games ahead of it – such is the life of the avid gamer turned collector.

So when one of our members unwrapped Public Market it sat for a bit before its debut voyage.

This is one of those games which frankly has a lousy name. There is nothing about a public market which has one’s mind turning to something fun to build a game around.

And, in the case of this game, while you do sell your ‘catch’ as a sort of end of round mechanic to score points, the game has the look and feel of players being offshore fisherman like you might imagine in the Maritimes.

While fishing for mackerel off the east coast might not seem overly appealing as a game theme, it beats the idea of a public market.

So with the name offering little in terms of insight in terms of what might be fun with the

On the other end are games you are always up to play and likely to recommend; Crokinole, Hive, King’s Cribbage, Dominion, Pandemic being examples.

THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com game, it was really a case of exploration when we broke out this one from designers Molly Johnson, Robert Melvin, and Shawn Stankewich.

From the publisher’s page (Talon Strikes Studios) the game is described as having players “head out to sea and fish to fulfill contracts in order to gain points and emerge as the winner” in this tile-laying, enginebuilding game.

“In Public Market players bid on and draft tiles to play into an ice chest. Once the ice chest is full, players can go to the market to sell their latest catch based on the current market values and to complete contract goals. They then get a new ice chest and go back out on the open water to fulfill new contracts. Play continues until the ocean bag is empty.”

Now, often you acquire games for some rather non-game play reasons.

Certainly games which utilize a well-liked game mechanic draw attention

simply for that reason.

As a group we are drawn to deck builders as an example.

Game theme is another draw. One of our group loves the idea of Norsethemed games, another leans toward Medieval Japan, as examples.

And of course we as a group do like games

with miniatures to move around the table.

Public Market hits on a none of our draws, but it still turned out to be a pretty solid game.

There were a lot of bits and boards on the table, but the game mechanics worked smoothly and the ‘moving parts’ all worked out with minimal issues

– rarely were we digging through the rulebook to figure something out.

In the end this is one of many games which fall sort of in the middle of a collection. At one end of the collection spectrum are games you never, ever, want to see on a gaming table; Stone Age and Monopoly fit there for me.

And then in the middle sit most games. If they are pulled out to play they are fun and you enjoy them, but they don’t quite have the ‘it’ factor to be one you think of regularly suggesting for a night of gaming. Public Market sits squarely in this middle territory, a solid, if not outstanding effort.

If you see and get a copy you will enjoy it, but it probably won’t become a regular game to put on the table.

Among the instructors was a special ‘guest’ for the event was former CFL star Nik Lewis.

Asked if coaching youth was his next career, Lewis, who was inducted into the CFL Hall of Fame with its 2021 class, said it’s something he is doing on occasion.

“I coached in B.C. for a year, and I’ve coached kids in Texas,” he said.

So with the eye of a former all star did Lewis see young prospects who might one day play at a top level?

“There so many factors,” he said, adding it starts with staying healthy. “There’s lots of factors not just athletic ability and skills.”

That said, players need a solid base in terms of skills, and that is where a camp comes in, providing little insights to help players.

Interestingly, Lewis said young players do not need to focus just on football.

“You get a lot of abilities from playing other sports,” he said.

What Lewis said he has seen is general improvement in the skills of young Canadian football players.

He said from when he first came to Canada in 2004 until now things have changed, and for the better.

“I don’t think Canadian football players were as good as they are now,” he said, adding there were of course stand out exceptions such as Jason Clermont and Chris Getzlaf, but “talent pool is deeper.”

Jose ‘Coco’ Jarin one the camp’s regular instructors said he too has seen growth in Canadian football since his earliest ventures north.

“The IQ has risen,” he said, adding young players simply know more about the game today, and for that he credits better coaching.

It starts with local initiatives, and Lewis pointed to the announcement at Football Night In Saskatchewan regarding community support to install lights at Century Field, adding that sort of support is critical in developing young players.

“I’m from small town Texas. I know how much money goes into football,” he said.

It’s also about building the community of football, and sharing the knowledge of the game said Jarin, adding that is their job “to bring that knowledge” and in-part it to the young players.

For players it’s a case of accumulating knowledge over their developmental years putting “tools in their toolboxes” to be used in their football careers.

One of the key tools is to understand the importance of a player’s eyes, said Jarin.

“Your eyes are the most important thing to get you to the football,” he said, adding football is a reactive game in the sense players need to track where the football is at all times and flow toward it.

In the end though, most young players will not play beyond high school. Lewis said that’s OK, because the game is more than a sport.

“Sport teaches you life, and football is one of the biggest life teachers in sport,” he said, noting it is the ultimate team builder. “One guy can’t win a game.”

It’s a case of taking skills from the field to other aspects of life.

“We can’t all play football, but we can all be successful,” said Lewis.

Garden shed considerations Do you need storage space for your barbecue, patio set and gardening accessories? If so, it’s time to get a shed. There are many prefabricated models made of synthetic materials, metal and wood. Here are a few tips for making the right choice.

SYNTHETIC MATERIALS Plastic, vinyl and PVC sheds are resistant to water and insect damage. Moreover, they require very little maintenance.

Although available in a wide variety of designs, they tend to have a commercial look that may not suit everyone.

METAL Metal sheds are lightweight, affordable and easy to assemble.

If made from aluminum, the shed

won’t rust. However, metal sheds are easy to dent and come in fewer designs than those made of synthetic materials.

WOOD Wooden sheds are sturdy and can complement the outside of your home. However, they require considerable maintenance and are more vulnerable to insects and rot than metal and synthetic sheds.

Whether you choose to buy a prefabricated shed or build your own, make sure it’s strong enough to withstand inclement weather.

Finally, check the laws and regulations in your municipality for building this type of structure.

Here are six tips for growing rhubarb in your backyard.

1. Choose a sunny location with rich, relatively moist soil.

Ideally, pick somewhere other than your vegetable garden. Rhubarb takes up a lot of space and can cover up smaller plants.

2. Allow at least one metre between your rhubarb and other plants. This ensures it has plenty of room to spread out.

3. Apply compost and all-purpose organic fertilizer annually. Make sure to read the package instructions for the proper application.

4. Remove weeds at the base of the rhubarb plant to avoid attracting pests like weevils.

HOME & GARDEN Ways to create shade in your yard Here are four ways to create a cool, shaded area in your yard to help you survive the hot, sun-drenched days of summer.

1. A canopy is an esthetically pleasing option that provides shade and, depending on the model, can protect from UV rays. Remember to choose a triangular or rectangular canopy that’s light in colour to avoid attracting more heat.

2. An umbrella is ideal for creating a shaded area exactly where you want it. Depending on where the sun shines during the day, you can move it around or adjust the angle. Moreover, choose a large enough model that has a stand to meet your needs.

3. A pergola is made of wooden slats or lattice and can be fixed or

HOME & GARDEN How much mulch?

Organic mulch is a powerful tool for gardeners. However, it’s not always easy to calculate how much you need to cover your flower beds.

Here’s what you need to know.

WHY YOU SHOULD USE MULCH Mulch is a layer of organic material that covers the soil around trees, shrubs and flowers. Whether it’s made of cedar, cocoa shells, hemlock or bark, it’s an essential element for beautiful, healthy flowerbeds. Mulch helps: • Slow down weed germination • Keep the soil cool

• Preserve soil moisture • Reduce the number of insects and diseases • Enrich the soil through decomposing HOW MUCH MULCH DO YOU NEED? Most greenhouses and big-box stores sell mulch in two cubic feet bags. Moreover, horticulturists agree you should lay down at least three inches of mulch.

One cubic foot of mulch covers about four square feet of space to a thickness of three inches. Therefore, a standard bag would cover

about eight-square feet of space.

To calculate the total square feet to cover, divide it by eight to get the number of bags to buy.

For example, for a garden bed measuring 20 feet by six feet, the calculation would be 20’ x 6’ = 120 square feet to cover; 120 square feet ÷ 8 square feet = 15 bags.

Some nurseries carry mulch in bulk or sell it by the square yard, equivalent to 27 cubic feet. You would probably need about one square yard for an average-sized project: 27 cubic feet ÷ two cubic feet (one bag) = 14 bags; 14 bags x 8 square feet = 112 square feet covered.

Why use a rain gauge in the garden?

A rain gauge is a practical instrument that measures rainfall.

Using a rain gauge can help you adapt your watering schedule to avoid over or underwatering your plants. However, to make good use of the data you collect, you must first know how much water each type of plant requires.

You can use a rain gauge to compare the amount of rainfall from year to year, which can help you plan your future crops.

Visit your local garden store to find a rain gauge that will serve you well for years to come.

While Covid was talked about on a daily basis for the last two years, and was a significant and serious concern, people presented at the hospital with a host of other medical conditions. Nurses in Yorkton and Region provided a wide variety of nursing to thousands of individuals in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities and in homes.

Because of the miracle I’ve heard people say there are no such things as miracles. If something does happen that might appear so, much more intelligent people than I will grasp at a scientific reason, even if flimsy at best, in their argument for explanation.

I remember when I fell in love with the birth process. I was in Anatomy and Physiology class and we were learning about what happens when a newborn baby takes it’s first breath and the cord is cut. A myriad of intricate physiology occurs and, if it doesn’t, trouble ensues which can cause anywhere from little to detrimental effects in the life of that child.

As I sat in the class, I thought two things. One — you’d have to be daft to believe the complexity of that process evolved from any ‘big bang’ and Two — miracles clearly still happen because …

women become mothers every second of every day.

Because I’ve spent a majority of my nursing career helping women during pregnancy and while giving birth, I have been privileged to see many a miracle but … I feel it’s time to dissect BEING a mother under a microscope of realism, instead of the romantic illusion we think it is — you know — before we become mothers.

Complicated anatomy and physiology aside, is motherhood really all that joyous or is that just the lie we’ve been fed for so long that we’ve stupidly accepted it? Here goes …

Firstly, we are gifted the physical sickness and muscle aches and strains for the months we share our bodies with a human being who happily pummels us from the inside.

Of course, those bother-

PATTIE JANZEN

Laugh at Life...

Revisited some pains are nothing compared to what’s coming, secondly, at the end of the gestation, or at any time the passenger decides it’s time to exit their suddenly too-small space. Thirdly, months and often years follow without anything near a solid sleep. Always fun!

Fourth — and for forevermore — the financial pressures can threaten to overwhelm because of — lets be honest — them.

But really … even that pales in comparison to number five — the endless toll on our psyches as

we worry not only about their fragile self-esteems and happiness but if WE could possibly be the root source of any or all of their problems! Then, when they’re grown, these ingrates may seek counselling, to verbalize the injustices done to them (to a complete stranger who nods and suggests it’s all our fault) and we are not invited to defend ourselves!

If we do successfully raise these human beings to adulthood, it isn’t too many years until many of us start … dribbling

… and I’m not talking about anything basketball-related. I’m speaking of the punishing fallout from pushing those whopping bundles of joy into the world. Of course, a quick yet painful pelvic floor repair deems us whole (or at least as near to that as we’ll ever be again, on earth) and for a few years, anyway, we can chase the grandchildren around without piddling in our pants.

I know. This all sounds like a life enviable by — none. So why do we do it? Why do we crave it?

Especially if, by some providential reason, we must struggle to obtain it?

I don’t know about you but all of the above seems even less appealing to me in the written word.

In fact, it makes no sense. Why do we sing the praises of motherhood and, what’s worse,

do it again and again and yet … again?

I doubt that we’re cynically excited, for our newly pregnant sisters, because misery loves company. That’s not it.

Some of it’s because women are strong at heart and in constitution.

Most are up to the challenge and either ignore the negativity or think the realists must be lying.

After a bit of thought, however, and many years of observation, I have to say I think it is mostly … because of the miracle. All of it — the pain, sleep deprivation, limited funds, and punishing, thankless work — it is a miracle of love. Or … we’re all crazy.

May every mother be honoured greatly this Mother’s Day and remember … you are a miracle too, no matter what they’re telling their counsellors.

How to celebrate National Nursing Week National Nursing Week takes place from May 9 to 15, 2022. The purpose of this special celebration is to bring awareness to governments, policymakers and the general public of the importance of nurses’ contributions to the well-being of society.

The theme of this year’s week-long celebration is #WeAnswerTheCall. This motto was chosen to

highlight the variety of roles nurses play in the healthcare system.

To celebrate National Nursing Week, the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) encourages Canadians to consider the impact nurses have had in their lives and those they love. Consequently, they urge the public to share stories, pictures and expressions of thanks to nurses through social media, using the following hashtags: • #CNA2022 • #WeAnswerTheCall • #IKnowANurse • #NationalNursingWeek • #IND2022 • #Nurses2022 • #VoiceToLead Moreover, you can write a personal thankyou card to a nurse who has impacted your life.

This is a simple way to

make their day and ensure they feel appreciated for all their hard work.

The CNA also encourages nurses to use social media to showcase their various roles, work environments and those with whom they work.

If you want to stay up to date on nursing in Canada, follow the CNA on social media.

Canora Minor Hockey celebrates successful season back on the ice Courtesy of Canora Courier The Canora Minor Hockey Association celebrated the return to hockey action during the recently completed 2021/22 season with its awards banquet on April 23 at the Sylvia Fedoruk Centre.

As outgoing president Dwayne Wolkowski put it, “it was so nice to play games again, especially after losing last year to COVID-19.”

Wolkowski paid tribute to players, parents, volunteers, and the membership for their hard work during the past season.

A new award was presented for the first time, the Jerry Mydonick Memorial Heart and Hustle Award. This award went to the player who was “a great team member, coachable, and always striving to do their best on and off the ice.”

Mydonick passed away in 2022 and was a longtime supporter of minor hockey in Canora. The award will be presented annually to one Canora Minor Hockey volunteer, as well as one player from each team. As has become tradition, individual awards for each

team were handed out for: sportsmanship, most dedicated player, and most improved player.

During the past season, the U7 Canora Cobras were coached by Kelly McTavish and Brandi Zavislak, and numerous other volunteers who helped out when needed.

This season’s team consisted of 17 players aged 3 to 6. “They’re a great group of kids, the future of hockey in Canora definitely looks bright,” said McTavish.

U7 award winners were: Lowell Rice (most dedicated), Kais Friesen (sportsmanship), Winston Warren (most improved) and Easton McGregor (Jerry Mydonick award).

Unfortunately, there were not enough players to ice a U9 team during the past season, but Canora Minor Hockey is hopeful that will change in the future.

The U11 Cobras had a successful season under head coach Jeff Sznerch and assistant coaches Kurtis Shukin, Colin Kitchen, and Dwayne Wolkowski.

“Our players were an enjoyable group to work with,” said Sznerch.

“They always came to the rink ready to work and have fun. We had a

The U7 Canora Cobras are all about introducing young players to hockey and developing a love for the game. Award winners, from left, were: Lowell Rice (most dedicated), Kais Friesen (sportsmanship), Winston Warren (most improved), and no, that big guy on the far right is not a U7 player.

very successful year allaround, including winning the Kamsack tournament. In the playoffs, we won the series against the Yorkton Fun Terriers and then in the next round we beat the Moosomin Blue Rangers to win the E banner.”

For the U11 Cobras, award winners were: Priah Wolkowski (most improved), Cameron Sznerch (most dedicated), Declan Unick (sportsmanship) and Karter Shukin (Jerry Mydonick award).

The U13 Cobras made great strides during the past season under the guidance of head coach Terry Demchuk and assistant coaches Trent Wolkowski, Jess Harper, and Dwayne Wolkowski.

“We had a good team and we learned a lot,” shared Demchuk. “After being near the bottom, we worked up to being ninth out of 16 teams in the league.”

The winners of the awards for the U13 Cobras were: Ryea Harper (most improved), Ty Northrop (most dedicated), Declan Friesen (sportsmanship) and Tessica Mydonick (Jerry Mydonick award).

In the U15 age group, Canora did not have enough players for a team this past season, but neither did Preeceville.

So, the two communities combined forces and formed a new team, the U15 Highway 9 Predators, with head coach Jordan Vogel and assistance coaches Jeff Sznerch, Adam Vangen, and Cary Franklin. The team came together fast and ended the season in fine style by winning the A banner in the U15 age group.

“Early on, we got the feeling something special was developing with this team,” said Sznerch.

“During our league regular season, we won 14 and tied one out of 15 games.

In the first playoff round against Esterhazy we lost the first game, but won game two and the minigame to move on to the

Award winners for the Predators were: Cody Vangen (most improved), Logan Sznerch (most dedicated), Linden Roebuck (sportsmanship) and Kayden Harder (Jerry Mydonick award).

The 2021/22 season was the first full season for the Prairie Ice, a Canora-based team playing in the Sask Female Hockey League. In addition to Canora, players on the team hailed from: Kamsack, Preeceville, Buchanan, Yorkton, Theodore, Cote First Nation, Pelly and Foam Lake.

The coaching staff included head coach Ryan Hauber and assistant coaches Jesse Nelson and Nicole Korpusik. The team finished third in the Southeast Division standings in the regular season, and then proceed to win six straight playoff games and three straight series. The Ice took the southern championship series to the limit before going down to a 2-1 defeat against the Swift Current Colts, who went on to win the provincial championship.

“What a season!” marvelled Hauber. “Our team is comprised of 14 gals from all over our area, 13 skaters, and one goalie.

It’s a team game and we had remarkable improvement from everyone on our team throughout the season, so choosing a most improved player was quite a challenge.

Players, thank you for loving the game. Your dedication led us to finish as one of the top four teams in the province.”

Prairie Ice Award winners were: Makayla Heshka (most improved), Jessica Madsen (most dedicated), Marlee Sedor (sportsmanship) and Jessee Kopelchuk (Jerry Mydonick award).

Canora Minor Hockey volunteer went to Prairie Ice Head Coach Ryan Hauber. Two of his players, Makayla Heshka and Jessee Kopelchuk, presented their thoughts on why Hauber, as well as the rest of the Prairie Ice coaching staff, were deserving of recognition for their efforts during the past season.

“The coaches should be getting awards, not just the players,” said Kopelchuk.

“Our coaches treated us all equal,” added Heshka. “Starting at

the first practise they made sure everyone was included and having fun, especially since we are from so many different communities.”

As one season ends, plans begin to take shape for the next season. Dwayne Wolkowski has served the past four years as Canora Minor Hockey President, the maximum allowed under the constitution. A new president will be elected at the fall annual general meeting, and volunteers are needed to run for this important position.

Local authorities, such as municipalities, must request designation through the PDAP office to initiate assistance for residents following an extreme weather event.

Producers whose local authorities have been designated as eligible for assistance can make claims for livestock loss, provided no coverage for losses is already available through existing insurance or other programs. Compensation for livestock losses will be calculated using the rates under the Wildlife Damage Compensation and Livestock Predation Program administered by the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation.

Livestock losses have been reported in several rural municipalities in southeast Saskatchewan because of recent spring storms that included periods of heavy snowfall, high winds and blizzard conditions. Livestock producers are encouraged to take photos/videos and document all livestock losses due to these extreme weather events.

Big game draw open until May 25

By SASKTODAY.ca REGINA — Saskatchewan’s Big Game Draw opened May 1. Hunters have until May 25 to submit online applications.

The big game draw is used to allocate a limited number of hunting licences to Saskatchewan residents in a transparent and equitable manner, according to a Ministry of Environment press release. This year’s draw includes licences for elk, moose, pronghorn, either-sex mule deer and antlerless mule deer.

The draw is administered through the Saskatchewan Hunting, Angling and Trapping Licence (HAL) system.

Hunters can submit, review and update their applications, check pool

status history and purchase a draw licence through their HAL accounts.

Hunters should review the 2022 Big Game Draw Supplement for information on quotas for draw species prior to submitting their draw application, the ministry advises. The supplement also informs hunters of any changes to this fall’s big game draw seasons. The supplement can be found at saskatchewan.ca/hunting.

Applications for the big game draw can be submitted until May 25 at 11:59 p.m. Hunters are encouraged to apply early and to use the online residency verification tool to avoid complications.

Draw results will be available through HAL accounts in June, with the

exception of pronghorn, which will be available in mid-July. Although big game draw applicants are sent a notification of their draw results, hunters are responsible for looking up their results through their HAL account.

Successful applicants will be able to purchase licences through their HAL accounts beginning Aug. 1.

For information on your HAL account or assistance with completing a draw application, please visit saskatchewanhal.ca or call 1-888773-8450.

Questions about pool status or hunting in Saskatchewan, can be directed to the Ministry of Environment’s inquiry centre at 1-800-567-4224 or centre.inquiry@gov. sk.ca.

Motivational speaker visits Kamsack schools Courtesy of Kamsack Times In a virtual presentation on the morning of Wednesday, April 27, professional wrestler and public speaker, Cody Deaner, shared insights on what he termed “the power of perseverance” with students at the Kamsack Comprehensive Institute and Victoria Elementary School.

The following biography can be found on Cody Deaner’s official website: At the age of five, Cody had one goal…to one day wrestle in the same ring as his childhood heroes and become a professional wrestler.

Despite living in a small, secluded, rural town, his smaller size, and a high school guidance counselor who told him not to pursue a career in professional wrestling, Cody achieved his dream and eventually became a professional wrestling champion who has traveled the world living out his childhood passion.

Cody’s story involves struggles to overcome the temptations of drugs and alcohol while growing up in a home riddled with alcohol abuse and psychological disorders.

It is a story of overcoming extreme adversity and the physical and mental hardships involved in making it in a world of giants, all while those around you tell you your goals are impossible.

Cody uses the power of storytelling to teach important life principles such as: “You can be whatever you want to be... if you put in the work!”

“Positive motion creates positive emotion.”

“You don’t have to be in the ‘BIG TIME’ to make a BIG DIFFERENCE.” “Don’t let the size of your town or others’ expectations dictate the size of your dreams.”

“We all have the power of influence. We simply need to choose to be a positive influence.”

“Don’t have a victim mentality. Focus on

the positive rather than the negative.”

“We can’t all be the biggest, the strongest, the fastest, or the most talented... but we can all JUST GIV’ER!” “Dare to dream BIG!” Cody Deaner has been a professional wrestler for almost two decades. He has wrestled all over the world for the largest companies in the USA and Canada, including World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), IMPACT Wrestling (formerly TNA - Total NonStop Action Wrestling), and numerous independent wrestling companies.

Cody is currently traveling the world

and living his dream with IMPACT Wrestling, which is seen in 150 million homes worldwide in 120 countries.

Cody has won dozens of championships all over North America and wrestled with, or alongside, some of the top superstars in the history of wrestling, including, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat, Rey Mysterio, Kurt Angle, Tito Santana, “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, Kevin Nash, Booker T, AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner, and many others.

In early 2018, Cody decided he wanted to give back to the many communities he has visited

throughout his career.

To give back, Cody started “Giv’er for Charity.”

“Giv’er for Charity” is a fundraising campaign aimed at raising money for a variety of amazing Canadian charities.

Cody partners with various charities that are in need of funds and want to increase the awareness of their cause. Cody helps them raise money by selling merchandise at his professional wrestling events and speaking engagements and then donates 100 per cent of the proceeds to the charity of choice.

In a post following the event, Deaner shared the following message on the KCI Facebook page:

“Thank you Kamsack Comprehensive Institute and Victoria Elementary School for the fun morning and all your awesome questions during the Q&A! We talked about the POWER OF PERSEVERANCE. We’ve all had our own personal struggles we’ve had to deal with the last number of years - some unspoken. But through the positive WORDS we say to one another (and ourselves), it can help us take positive ACTION, which then can be a positive INFLUENCE on others. If you were in my virtual program today, please feel free to leave me a comment and let me know what you thought.”

CAA Slow Down Move Over Day is May 10

By SASKTODAY.ca REGINA — May 10 is CAA Slow Down Move Over Day, a national day of safety in observance and recognition of first responders working on highways, including tow truck operators, police officers, paramedics, fire department crews, construction workers, and highway patrol staff.

CAA Clubs across Canada have designated the second Tuesday in May annually, as Slow Down Move Over Day to bring attention to this important safety issue.

To heighten the awareness of safety for workers on highways, CAA Saskatchewan has produced a 60 second safety message, in addition to a new, recently produced 15-second safety message with Chief Randy Schulz.

The CAA Slow Down Move Over safety messages will run until the end of May to also serve as a safety reminder for Victoria Day long weekend road trip travellers.

The safety partners on the 60-second safety message include Chief Randy Schulz, White City Fire Department; Robert Dagenais, CAA Saskatchewan tow truck operator; Brad Stratychuk, president, Roadside Responders Association; Keith Woytiuk, director,

Messages from Saskatchewan tow truck operators and others are being featured on CAA’s website and social media outlets to remind motorists to respect emergency workers on highways.

CAA photo

White City Fire Department Chief Randy Schulz was injured in December 2021 while on duty helping with a roadside situation. He is one of the people featured in CAA’s promotion of Slow Down Move Over Day. Paramedic Services Chiefs of Saskatchewan; and Cst. Victoria Nicholls with RCMP F Division Traffic Services.

“Saskatchewan highways are not just highways,” said Schulz. “The highways are our work zones that we’ve set up and marked to let motorists know that we’re on the job helping people who are expecting us to help them. For me, personally, I was involved in an accident in December 2021 while on duty. I was seriously injured, causing much stress and anx-

CAA Saskatchewan Automotive and Roadside Assistance Services.

“Motorists must respect tow truck operators, who are working to help keep them safe. At the end of their shifts, they want to return home to their loved ones. Remember, slow to 60 km/h for all first responders working on Saskatchewan highways.

Slow down move over, it’s the law. We thank our safety partners for joining CAA to emphasize the importance of Slow Down Move Over Day. This is an important safety message to apply not just today, but every day.”

Stratychuk added, “We’re constantly

iety to not only myself and my family, but also for the medical responders on duty. I’m here to tell motorists to slow down move over. It’s a matter of life and death.

Know the risks.”

Schulz’s personal testimonial has been produced into the new 15-second safety message.

“On a daily basis, we’re reminded of the dangers of our profession as first responders working on Saskatchewan roads,” adds Scott McIntyre, vice-president,

reminded of the dangers, knowing that in 2017, a tow operator was killed on duty during a blizzard while providing roadside assistance in the Esterhazy area. Providing service to our customers on the side of any road is a dangerous work zone.

Education is key to get the information out and we are grateful to CAA for utilizing their network across Canada to help keep the men and women in our industry safe.”

Woytiuk remarked, “when you see those flashing lights out on the roadside, think about the people that might be standing there too – slow down move over to keep us all safe.”

Cst. Nicholls has witnessed many motorists who speed by and don’t seem to notice her, or her colleagues parked on the highway, with their vehicle lights flashing.

“Motorists will be fined should they not slow to 60 km/h when passing us working on the highway, 365 days a year, 24/7. But more importantly, when they don’t slow down and respect us, and our work zones, they are putting our lives and the lives of those we are helping, in jeopardy.” The CAA Slow Down Move Over safety messages will be featured on CAA’s Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram, and the CAA website.
